Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion. Among others, these are: *[[Index:Paradise lost - a poem in ten books (IA paradiselostpoem00milt 0).pdf|An edition of ''Paradise Lost'']] *[[Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 1 Original).djvu|''Uncle Tom's Cabin'']] *[[Index:The common reader.djvu|''The Common Reader'']] There are lots of fascinating books to discover.

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 15:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I believe that, if there is no scan as an Index: page, the main-namespace page should not exist unless it is being actively completed or is already mostly completed.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways. The first half of that sentence is not the focus of this discussion, the second half is.

And for that, I still think a WikiProject page is the right location, not mainspace. (Or, if you must, your userpage.) [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 01:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :{{re|JesseW}} It's not clear to me in your above whether when you use the term "index" you refer to a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace, or a general wikipage in the main namespace on which an index-like structure (and/or a ToC, or similar) is manually created. Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***The policy says "When an entire work is available as a djvu file on commons and an Index page is created here, works are considered in process not excerpts." A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 15:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * Nice wall of text, [[User:Xover|Xover]] (and I say that with great respect!) -- it generally makes sense and sounds good to me. As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue.

But… instead of me dropping another wall of text on the remaining points of disagreement, maybe that means we're in a position to try to hash out a draft guidance / policy type page with the rough framework?

If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies.

Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place.

The goals of the project are to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. The project consists of a series of feature improvements which make it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, use article tabs and the user menu, and more. The improvements are already visible by default for readers and editors on more than 30 wikis, including Wikipedias in [[:fr:|French]], [[:pt:|Portuguese]], and [[:fa:|Persian]]. The changes apply to the [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|useskin=vector}} Vector] skin only, although it will always be possible to revert to the previous version on an individual basis.

(1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that.

(a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource.

What I especially dislike is the TOC in the left sidebar. 1) Its position at the bottom of the sidebar puts it out of sight and I have to scroll down to get to it. 2) Some headings are very long, which is not a problem in the current way of displaying the TOC, but the sidebar is narrow, and so some headings in the 2022 Vector layout take several lines, which makes the TOC more difficult to skim through. For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 10:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]]: This is just p-wrapping. The parser tries to detect when it needs to insert p tags around content (it thinks all content must be wrapped in a block element of some kind, and inserts p tags when it thinks such is missing), and frequently gets triggered by all sorts of things you wouldn't really think mattered. This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it. Wikisource is just about the only project that runs into this kind of problem regularly and we're a mere drop in the ocean compared to the Wikipedias etc. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 15:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC) ::{{ping|Xover}} :::Can you have a look at {{tl|hi}} then?

Victoriæ Inclusive, 1841 to 1853.pdf]] And I guess it's preferable to work with the actual name, but it's just so unwieldy to work with on pages for transcription.

But if you provide a list of the pages it should be fairly easy for a bot operator to do (I'm assuming, I've never done that, but I know Mpaa has handled many similar requests here). Large numbers of blank pages is not a very prevalent problem, so far as I can tell, so it's probably more efficient to just handle these cases as one-offs (vs. making an end-user tool to do it).

The thinking behind concentrating on these, (and the related mismatched font,strike and tt tags) is so that there are NO mismatched version of these obselete tags in Content pages. The automated approach to conversion that Wikiveristy uses to resolve 'obsolete' tags can than reasonably be applied.

(Take a look at [[British_Medical_Journal]] with and without <code>?safemode=1</code>) [[User:Sohom data|Sohom Datta]] ([[User talk:Sohom data|talk]]) 13:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Bebiezaza|Bebiezaza]], @[[User:Sohom data|Sohom data]]: These are adjuncts to the page numbers / dynamic layouts script. In order to display the layouts, that Gadget needs to wrap the content part of the page (the transcluded content) inside a few extra <code>div</code> containers. But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed. It's likely I will do the same here at some point to try to cut down on the amount of global code and the flaky behaviour.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and I've given talks on the project to a couple of library conferences. I've blogged about [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how we've gotten a local author to release their work under an open licence]. The Grey District Library has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and I've just received a grant from the [https://matatuhifoundation.co.nz/ Mātātuhi Foundation], funded by the Auckland Writers Festival to spend a help-day a week supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project to more libraries. Many people here have kindly stepped in to help out our team and untangle some of the more technical aspects of Wikisource.

Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]).

An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects. If we could, it would help to prevent such things from happening very much. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 07:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :::as a part of the process of deleting redirects, should we include a "what links here check" and if not fixing right away, then adding to a list for linking at the other wiki? --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 18:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::This sort of thing has even happened here with intrawiki links: see [[Special:PermaLink/11316706|Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/36]] and [[Special:PermaLink/9216169|The Passionate Shepherd to His Love]], both of which were broken because the page to which they both linked ([[Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5]]) was moved to [[The Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5|''The'' Golden Treasury, etc.]] A redirect was left for the root page in mainspace, but not for all the subpages.{{pbr}}The former of the two broken pages also illustrates the use of {{tl|anchor}}, which is one way—albeit unwieldy—to link to a specific passage in a text.

Thus Wiktionarians don't want to cite a generic form of the work, or link to the top level; they want to link a page that has the word in question on it in a specifically dateable context.

There are no other valid criteria for speedy deletion of such. Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand?

But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == Copyright status of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'' (1962) == I have done some searching in the copyright.gov database and come up empty for a renewal of the [https://archive.org/details/menshipssea0000unse first edition of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea''] by Alan Villiers, published in 1962 by the National Geographic Society.

But you can certainly raise other copyright issues, such as the one in this thread, there too. It's more a question of what's the best venue for your needs: [[WS:CV]] is watched by only a small subset of the community (unfortunately) and is often months and years backlogged (because of insufficient community participation) so as a practical matter you may prefer to post here. On the flip side, for complicated copyright issues WS:CV may be better because the copyright wonks will see it there, and it may get you a more definitive answer (or at least guard against wholly incorrect answers).{{pbr}}Short version: feel free to post such queries either place.{{pbr}}PS. I agree with Prosfilaes: even if the copyright on ''this'' work was not renewed, it may contain independently copyrighted works that for our purposes has the same effect as if the whole was in copyright. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == ToC links == I like to style ToC's with the text linking to the transcoded page (unconditionally), and the page number linking to the Page namespace (when viewed from the Page or Index namespace), and to the transcoded page when the ToC is transcluded. This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too. But it's really nice to have working links both to the transcluded pages and the Page namespace from the Index page, on the actual ToC, so I'd love to get this fixed. Suggestions?

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion. Among others, these are: *[[Index:Paradise lost - a poem in ten books (IA paradiselostpoem00milt 0).pdf|An edition of ''Paradise Lost'']] *[[Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 1 Original).djvu|''Uncle Tom's Cabin'']] *[[Index:The common reader.djvu|''The Common Reader'']] There are lots of fascinating books to discover.

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 15:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I believe that, if there is no scan as an Index: page, the main-namespace page should not exist unless it is being actively completed or is already mostly completed.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal.

Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject.

A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work.

As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue.

If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies. Please take this comment or leave it, as appropriate. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)</s> {{smaller block|Apologies, I see I had missed the point.}} I disagree with {{u|Xover}}'s statement that a top-level page for a publication, with a link only to a single article within the publication, has "near-zero value." Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place. Anyway those are my 2 cents, sorry if they are redundant —[[User:Beleg Tâl|Beleg Tâl]] ([[User talk:Beleg Tâl|talk]]) 00:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC) === Proposal === Since there has been no extra input for a month, and not wanting this section to get archived without at least attempting a proposal, I have started a proposal [[#Collective work inclusion criteria]] above.

(1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that.

(a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The parser tries to detect when it needs to insert p tags around content (it thinks all content must be wrapped in a block element of some kind, and inserts p tags when it thinks such is missing), and frequently gets triggered by all sorts of things you wouldn't really think mattered. This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it.

Victoriæ Inclusive, 1841 to 1853.pdf]] And I guess it's preferable to work with the actual name, but it's just so unwieldy to work with on pages for transcription.

Large numbers of blank pages is not a very prevalent problem, so far as I can tell, so it's probably more efficient to just handle these cases as one-offs (vs. making an end-user tool to do it).

The thinking behind concentrating on these, (and the related mismatched font,strike and tt tags) is so that there are NO mismatched version of these obselete tags in Content pages.

In order to display the layouts, that Gadget needs to wrap the content part of the page (the transcluded content) inside a few extra <code>div</code> containers. But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed. It's likely I will do the same here at some point to try to cut down on the amount of global code and the flaky behaviour.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and I've given talks on the project to a couple of library conferences. I've blogged about [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how we've gotten a local author to release their work under an open licence]. The Grey District Library has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and I've just received a grant from the [https://matatuhifoundation.co.nz/ Mātātuhi Foundation], funded by the Auckland Writers Festival to spend a help-day a week supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project to more libraries. Many people here have kindly stepped in to help out our team and untangle some of the more technical aspects of Wikisource.

Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::Some of the complexity will in time become obselete anyway... There's a proposal for the next 'level' of CSS for table to support the concept of dot leaders... which when supported in browsers should make adding the dots in TOC entries 1 line of CSS style, as opposed to the complex convolution used currently. ::[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 11:53, 9 July 2022 (UTC) == Deletion of redirects == Hi Wikisource folks. An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects. If we could, it would help to prevent such things from happening very much. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 07:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :::as a part of the process of deleting redirects, should we include a "what links here check" and if not fixing right away, then adding to a list for linking at the other wiki? --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 18:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::This sort of thing has even happened here with intrawiki links: see [[Special:PermaLink/11316706|Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/36]] and [[Special:PermaLink/9216169|The Passionate Shepherd to His Love]], both of which were broken because the page to which they both linked ([[Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5]]) was moved to [[The Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5|''The'' Golden Treasury, etc.]] A redirect was left for the root page in mainspace, but not for all the subpages.{{pbr}}The former of the two broken pages also illustrates the use of {{tl|anchor}}, which is one way—albeit unwieldy—to link to a specific passage in a text. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :: Wiktionary wants to cite a use of a word. Thus Wiktionarians don't want to cite a generic form of the work, or link to the top level; they want to link a page that has the word in question on it in a specifically dateable context. It doesn't strike me as that rare; while there are times you want to link to a generic version, there's times you want to talk about Homer's use of rosy-fingered dawn ("as soon as early rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, then they set sail for the wide camp of the Achaeans") and link not to the Iliad, but the Iliad, book 1, and a translation that faithfully translates that (not Alexander Pope's! apparently many students over the years have been confused by that).--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 04:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC) :::Thanks all for your input.

Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand?

But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == Copyright status of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'' (1962) == I have done some searching in the copyright.gov database and come up empty for a renewal of the [https://archive.org/details/menshipssea0000unse first edition of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea''] by Alan Villiers, published in 1962 by the National Geographic Society. As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS?

This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too. But it's really nice to have working links both to the transcluded pages and the Page namespace from the Index page, on the actual ToC, so I'd love to get this fixed. Suggestions?

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion. Among others, these are: *[[Index:Paradise lost - a poem in ten books (IA paradiselostpoem00milt 0).pdf|An edition of ''Paradise Lost'']] *[[Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 1 Original).djvu|''Uncle Tom's Cabin'']] *[[Index:The common reader.djvu|''The Common Reader'']] There are lots of fascinating books to discover.

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here.

I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough.

I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways. The first half of that sentence is not the focus of this discussion, the second half is.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal.

Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***The policy says "When an entire work is available as a djvu file on commons and an Index page is created here, works are considered in process not excerpts." A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 15:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * Nice wall of text, [[User:Xover|Xover]] (and I say that with great respect!) -- it generally makes sense and sounds good to me. As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue.

But… instead of me dropping another wall of text on the remaining points of disagreement, maybe that means we're in a position to try to hash out a draft guidance / policy type page with the rough framework? Then we could go at the remaining issues point by point. Because I think I'm in with a decent chance to persuade you to my point of view on at least some of them, but this thread is fast getting unwieldy (mostly my fault). It would also probably be easier for the community to relate to now, and ''much'' easier to lean on in the future. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 18:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC) **** {{re|Xover}} If there are no more comments forthcoming after a couple of days, I think that makes sense.

If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies. Please take this comment or leave it, as appropriate. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)</s> {{smaller block|Apologies, I see I had missed the point.}} I disagree with {{u|Xover}}'s statement that a top-level page for a publication, with a link only to a single article within the publication, has "near-zero value." Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place. Anyway those are my 2 cents, sorry if they are redundant —[[User:Beleg Tâl|Beleg Tâl]] ([[User talk:Beleg Tâl|talk]]) 00:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC) === Proposal === Since there has been no extra input for a month, and not wanting this section to get archived without at least attempting a proposal, I have started a proposal [[#Collective work inclusion criteria]] above.

(1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that.

(a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 10:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]]: This is just p-wrapping. The parser tries to detect when it needs to insert p tags around content (it thinks all content must be wrapped in a block element of some kind, and inserts p tags when it thinks such is missing), and frequently gets triggered by all sorts of things you wouldn't really think mattered. This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it. Wikisource is just about the only project that runs into this kind of problem regularly and we're a mere drop in the ocean compared to the Wikipedias etc. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 15:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC) ::{{ping|Xover}} :::Can you have a look at {{tl|hi}} then?

Victoriæ Inclusive, 1841 to 1853.pdf]] And I guess it's preferable to work with the actual name, but it's just so unwieldy to work with on pages for transcription.

But if you provide a list of the pages it should be fairly easy for a bot operator to do (I'm assuming, I've never done that, but I know Mpaa has handled many similar requests here). Large numbers of blank pages is not a very prevalent problem, so far as I can tell, so it's probably more efficient to just handle these cases as one-offs (vs. making an end-user tool to do it).

The thinking behind concentrating on these, (and the related mismatched font,strike and tt tags) is so that there are NO mismatched version of these obselete tags in Content pages. The automated approach to conversion that Wikiveristy uses to resolve 'obsolete' tags can than reasonably be applied.

I wonder what these scripts actually do because from poking around the inspect element, I couldn't find how these two scripts currently apply to Wikisource. --[[User:Bebiezaza|Bebiezaza]] ([[User talk:Bebiezaza|talk]]) 15:03, 2 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Bebiezaza|Bebiezaza]] Both of these snippets seach for elements that have a specific selector and adds them to the top of the page.For example, the envelop hatNote section searches for elements that are tables with classes <code>ambox</code> or <code>ombox</code> (i.e. the wrapper element generated from the <code><nowiki>{{ambox}}</nowiki></code> and <code>{{<nowiki>ombox</nowiki>}}</code> templates and prepends them to the top of the page. (Take a look at [[British_Medical_Journal]] with and without <code>?safemode=1</code>) [[User:Sohom data|Sohom Datta]] ([[User talk:Sohom data|talk]]) 13:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Bebiezaza|Bebiezaza]], @[[User:Sohom data|Sohom data]]: These are adjuncts to the page numbers / dynamic layouts script. In order to display the layouts, that Gadget needs to wrap the content part of the page (the transcluded content) inside a few extra <code>div</code> containers. But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed. It's likely I will do the same here at some point to try to cut down on the amount of global code and the flaky behaviour.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and I've given talks on the project to a couple of library conferences. I've blogged about [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how we've gotten a local author to release their work under an open licence]. The Grey District Library has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and I've just received a grant from the [https://matatuhifoundation.co.nz/ Mātātuhi Foundation], funded by the Auckland Writers Festival to spend a help-day a week supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project to more libraries. Many people here have kindly stepped in to help out our team and untangle some of the more technical aspects of Wikisource. If anyone would like the add themselves to the task force [[Wikisource:West Coast Task Force|project page]], it would be great to have some regular assistance with transclusion, ToCs and indexes, and some other more complex fornatting—I'm just a beginner, having only been brought into the fold last year.

I have noticed that some pages using {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} started to have this problem (although not a long time ago they worked fine) and so I started replacing that template with {{tl|TOC begin}} templates, which always helped, except the above mentioned page.-- [[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:42, 8 July 2022 (UTC) *[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]]: It’s a built-in “feature” that makes pages with lots of text simply not work: see [[:Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded]].

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 22:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC) *:What, no, certainly not! Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::Some of the complexity will in time become obselete anyway... There's a proposal for the next 'level' of CSS for table to support the concept of dot leaders... which when supported in browsers should make adding the dots in TOC entries 1 line of CSS style, as opposed to the complex convolution used currently. ::[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 11:53, 9 July 2022 (UTC) == Deletion of redirects == Hi Wikisource folks. An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects. If we could, it would help to prevent such things from happening very much. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 07:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :::as a part of the process of deleting redirects, should we include a "what links here check" and if not fixing right away, then adding to a list for linking at the other wiki? --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 18:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::This sort of thing has even happened here with intrawiki links: see [[Special:PermaLink/11316706|Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/36]] and [[Special:PermaLink/9216169|The Passionate Shepherd to His Love]], both of which were broken because the page to which they both linked ([[Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5]]) was moved to [[The Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5|''The'' Golden Treasury, etc.]] A redirect was left for the root page in mainspace, but not for all the subpages.{{pbr}}The former of the two broken pages also illustrates the use of {{tl|anchor}}, which is one way—albeit unwieldy—to link to a specific passage in a text. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :: Wiktionary wants to cite a use of a word. Thus Wiktionarians don't want to cite a generic form of the work, or link to the top level; they want to link a page that has the word in question on it in a specifically dateable context. It doesn't strike me as that rare; while there are times you want to link to a generic version, there's times you want to talk about Homer's use of rosy-fingered dawn ("as soon as early rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, then they set sail for the wide camp of the Achaeans") and link not to the Iliad, but the Iliad, book 1, and a translation that faithfully translates that (not Alexander Pope's! apparently many students over the years have been confused by that).--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 04:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC) :::Thanks all for your input.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 06:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC) :Second-hand transcriptions are out of scope for enWS, and any ''newly added'' second-hand transcriptions are speediable as such (that is, under CSD G5, which is the criterion for all content that does not meet [[WS:WWI]]). But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::The bracketed stuff are informative examples to illustrate; the criterion itself is {{tqi|'''Beyond scope''': The content … lies outside the scope of Wikisource|q=y}} (i.e. it fails to meet [[WS:WWI]]), and the limiting clause is {{tqi|… The content '''clearly''' lies outside the scope …|q=y}}. The point there is that if something is borderline or there's a significant possibility of mistake the admin shouldn't unilaterally decide (speedy) and it should go to WS:PD instead for community discussion. The latter is usually exemplified by someone pasting ''Harry Potter'' here—which is clearly a copyvio—versus someone proofreading a 1964 book that makes a superficially plausible claim of being {{tl|PD-US-no renewal}}. The latter could still be a copyvio, but a single admin shouldn't decide that based solely on misbelieving the contributor's assertion: it should go to WS:PD where the community can examine it and possibly dig up the evidence (either way) to determine its actual copyright status. ''Harry Potter'', obviously, should be speedied on sight (and preferably before Wizarding World Digital sends its DMCA-wielding Nazgûl after us).{{pbr}}That being said, I absolutely agree our policies are in dire need of tightening and should be written with much greater clarity.

As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS?

This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too.

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion.

For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 15:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I believe that, if there is no scan as an Index: page, the main-namespace page should not exist unless it is being actively completed or is already mostly completed. A few pages (of the volume itself) is not very helpful, and is entirely useless if their is no scan given. [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways. The first half of that sentence is not the focus of this discussion, the second half is.

And for that, I still think a WikiProject page is the right location, not mainspace. (Or, if you must, your userpage.) [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 01:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :{{re|JesseW}} It's not clear to me in your above whether when you use the term "index" you refer to a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace, or a general wikipage in the main namespace on which an index-like structure (and/or a ToC, or similar) is manually created. Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***The policy says "When an entire work is available as a djvu file on commons and an Index page is created here, works are considered in process not excerpts." A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 15:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * Nice wall of text, [[User:Xover|Xover]] (and I say that with great respect!) -- it generally makes sense and sounds good to me. As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***{{re|Inductiveload}} We appear to be mostly in agreement. But… instead of me dropping another wall of text on the remaining points of disagreement, maybe that means we're in a position to try to hash out a draft guidance / policy type page with the rough framework? Then we could go at the remaining issues point by point. Because I think I'm in with a decent chance to persuade you to my point of view on at least some of them, but this thread is fast getting unwieldy (mostly my fault). It would also probably be easier for the community to relate to now, and ''much'' easier to lean on in the future. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 18:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC) **** {{re|Xover}} If there are no more comments forthcoming after a couple of days, I think that makes sense. I don't want to railroad it: considering we have at least one !vote for "do nothing", I'd like to see if there are any other substantially different opinions floating about. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:41, 7 July 2020 (UTC) <s>The quantity of text here has grown far faster than my ability to absorb it, so rather than continue to put it off, here's my position: I don't see any problem with transcriptions that are scan-backed, even if the transcription only covers a small fraction of the entire scan. If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies. Please take this comment or leave it, as appropriate. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)</s> {{smaller block|Apologies, I see I had missed the point.}} I disagree with {{u|Xover}}'s statement that a top-level page for a publication, with a link only to a single article within the publication, has "near-zero value." Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place. Anyway those are my 2 cents, sorry if they are redundant —[[User:Beleg Tâl|Beleg Tâl]] ([[User talk:Beleg Tâl|talk]]) 00:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC) === Proposal === Since there has been no extra input for a month, and not wanting this section to get archived without at least attempting a proposal, I have started a proposal [[#Collective work inclusion criteria]] above.

(1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting?

(a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it.

But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet.

Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::Some of the complexity will in time become obselete anyway... There's a proposal for the next 'level' of CSS for table to support the concept of dot leaders... which when supported in browsers should make adding the dots in TOC entries 1 line of CSS style, as opposed to the complex convolution used currently. ::[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 11:53, 9 July 2022 (UTC) == Deletion of redirects == Hi Wikisource folks. An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects. If we could, it would help to prevent such things from happening very much. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 07:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :::as a part of the process of deleting redirects, should we include a "what links here check" and if not fixing right away, then adding to a list for linking at the other wiki? --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 18:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::This sort of thing has even happened here with intrawiki links: see [[Special:PermaLink/11316706|Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/36]] and [[Special:PermaLink/9216169|The Passionate Shepherd to His Love]], both of which were broken because the page to which they both linked ([[Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5]]) was moved to [[The Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5|''The'' Golden Treasury, etc.]] A redirect was left for the root page in mainspace, but not for all the subpages.{{pbr}}The former of the two broken pages also illustrates the use of {{tl|anchor}}, which is one way—albeit unwieldy—to link to a specific passage in a text. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :: Wiktionary wants to cite a use of a word. Thus Wiktionarians don't want to cite a generic form of the work, or link to the top level; they want to link a page that has the word in question on it in a specifically dateable context. It doesn't strike me as that rare; while there are times you want to link to a generic version, there's times you want to talk about Homer's use of rosy-fingered dawn ("as soon as early rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, then they set sail for the wide camp of the Achaeans") and link not to the Iliad, but the Iliad, book 1, and a translation that faithfully translates that (not Alexander Pope's! apparently many students over the years have been confused by that).--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 04:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC) :::Thanks all for your input.

[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 20:08, 19 July 2022 (UTC) == Second-hand transcriptions == Can second-hand transcriptions be speedied based on [[Wikisource:What_Wikisource_includes#Second-hand_transcriptions]] or should they be listed at [[Wikisource:Proposed deletions]]? Currently, they are not among the [[Wikisource:Deletion policy#Speedy deletion]] criteria, but they are repeatedly proposed for speedy deletion. -- [[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 09:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC) :Only speedy-able if a sourced version of the same text is hosted, per G4. There are no other valid criteria for speedy deletion of such. Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand? They are after all, simply brought over from the White House websites with minimal wikification. Yet, I've never seen them proposed for deletion on this ground.

I don't think that there is any evidence that many of these contributions stay on enWS. Most of them come, copy-and-paste a text (often without formatting), and then leave. It's an extremely fast process for them. Then, other enWS contributors then have to spend time on trying to format properly. PG are especially problematic because they silently correct errata. The entire process is just a time drain. As for the Executive Orders, I would also say that they should be speedied. They are published in the Federal Register and should be scan-backed from there. [[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 21:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC) ::::they were useful to me, if you delete them, then i cannot migrate works to scan backed works. increasing the scrap rate does not increase quality. --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 22:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC) ::::Definitely '''not''' G5. That is for ''content'' that is out of scope. The content of these works are in scope (on the whole), it's just the source that is seen as problematic by those tagging for speedy deletion. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 06:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC) :Second-hand transcriptions are out of scope for enWS, and any ''newly added'' second-hand transcriptions are speediable as such (that is, under CSD G5, which is the criterion for all content that does not meet [[WS:WWI]]). But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::The bracketed stuff are informative examples to illustrate; the criterion itself is {{tqi|'''Beyond scope''': The content … lies outside the scope of Wikisource|q=y}} (i.e. it fails to meet [[WS:WWI]]), and the limiting clause is {{tqi|… The content '''clearly''' lies outside the scope …|q=y}}. The point there is that if something is borderline or there's a significant possibility of mistake the admin shouldn't unilaterally decide (speedy) and it should go to WS:PD instead for community discussion. The latter is usually exemplified by someone pasting ''Harry Potter'' here—which is clearly a copyvio—versus someone proofreading a 1964 book that makes a superficially plausible claim of being {{tl|PD-US-no renewal}}. The latter could still be a copyvio, but a single admin shouldn't decide that based solely on misbelieving the contributor's assertion: it should go to WS:PD where the community can examine it and possibly dig up the evidence (either way) to determine its actual copyright status. ''Harry Potter'', obviously, should be speedied on sight (and preferably before Wizarding World Digital sends its DMCA-wielding Nazgûl after us).{{pbr}}That being said, I absolutely agree our policies are in dire need of tightening and should be written with much greater clarity. Navigating them now are an exercise in frustration for both general contributors and admins trying to apply them. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 14:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == Copyright status of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'' (1962) == I have done some searching in the copyright.gov database and come up empty for a renewal of the [https://archive.org/details/menshipssea0000unse first edition of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea''] by Alan Villiers, published in 1962 by the National Geographic Society. As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS? I would have put this on [[WS:Copyright discussions]], but that seems to be more about works already on WS than about ones offsite. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 04:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC) : Do you have the book? If you look at the actual book, you may see a list of copyright notices from other works. With or without them, I'm still concerned that there may be a number of other works that it's copying from.--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 20:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC) ::{{ping|Prosfilaes|Xover}} I'm reasonably confident that at least the text content was written specifically for this book, not copied from another source. I have a copy of the 1973 edition, which explicitly states: "Text by Alan Villiers / with a foreword by Melville Bell Grosvenor / and additional chapters by [several other authors]". The foreword to this edition seems to indicate that the book was written from scratch: "In commissioning him [Villiers] as chief author of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'', the Society chose the greatest sea writer of our time."{{pbr}}There are, however, a proudly proclaimed "423 illustrations, 294 in full color" in my copy. Most of these are undoubtedly still under copyright (although a few are obviously in the public domain, and some were commissioned specifically for the book). That's slightly less than one illustration per page. I suppose I could redact all the offending images if I wanted to, but it's probably not fruitful enough to spend a great deal of time with. (If I were to do so&mdash;assuming all the text content is PD&mdash;would it then be suitable to host here?) In any case, thanks to both of you for the help and advice. <code>:)</code> [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 17:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]]: You're right that [[WS:CV]] is more a workflow for discussing the copyright status of texts already on enWS. But you can certainly raise other copyright issues, such as the one in this thread, there too. It's more a question of what's the best venue for your needs: [[WS:CV]] is watched by only a small subset of the community (unfortunately) and is often months and years backlogged (because of insufficient community participation) so as a practical matter you may prefer to post here. On the flip side, for complicated copyright issues WS:CV may be better because the copyright wonks will see it there, and it may get you a more definitive answer (or at least guard against wholly incorrect answers).{{pbr}}Short version: feel free to post such queries either place.{{pbr}}PS. I agree with Prosfilaes: even if the copyright on ''this'' work was not renewed, it may contain independently copyrighted works that for our purposes has the same effect as if the whole was in copyright. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == ToC links == I like to style ToC's with the text linking to the transcoded page (unconditionally), and the page number linking to the Page namespace (when viewed from the Page or Index namespace), and to the transcoded page when the ToC is transcluded. This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too. But it's really nice to have working links both to the transcluded pages and the Page namespace from the Index page, on the actual ToC, so I'd love to get this fixed. Suggestions?

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion. Among others, these are: *[[Index:Paradise lost - a poem in ten books (IA paradiselostpoem00milt 0).pdf|An edition of ''Paradise Lost'']] *[[Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 1 Original).djvu|''Uncle Tom's Cabin'']] *[[Index:The common reader.djvu|''The Common Reader'']] There are lots of fascinating books to discover.

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways. The first half of that sentence is not the focus of this discussion, the second half is.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 01:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :{{re|JesseW}} It's not clear to me in your above whether when you use the term "index" you refer to a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace, or a general wikipage in the main namespace on which an index-like structure (and/or a ToC, or similar) is manually created. Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***The policy says "When an entire work is available as a djvu file on commons and an Index page is created here, works are considered in process not excerpts." A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 15:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * Nice wall of text, [[User:Xover|Xover]] (and I say that with great respect!) -- it generally makes sense and sounds good to me. As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue.

But… instead of me dropping another wall of text on the remaining points of disagreement, maybe that means we're in a position to try to hash out a draft guidance / policy type page with the rough framework? Then we could go at the remaining issues point by point. Because I think I'm in with a decent chance to persuade you to my point of view on at least some of them, but this thread is fast getting unwieldy (mostly my fault).

If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies. Please take this comment or leave it, as appropriate. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)</s> {{smaller block|Apologies, I see I had missed the point.}} I disagree with {{u|Xover}}'s statement that a top-level page for a publication, with a link only to a single article within the publication, has "near-zero value." Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place. Anyway those are my 2 cents, sorry if they are redundant —[[User:Beleg Tâl|Beleg Tâl]] ([[User talk:Beleg Tâl|talk]]) 00:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC) === Proposal === Since there has been no extra input for a month, and not wanting this section to get archived without at least attempting a proposal, I have started a proposal [[#Collective work inclusion criteria]] above.

[[User:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|SGrabarczuk (WMF)]] ([[User talk:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|talk]]) 21:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC) : I can already see how these changes are very Wikipedia-centric. (1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that. I've [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Page_tools&diff=prev&oldid=5302381&diffmode=source just replaced] every single use of "article" on the documentation page about the page tools menu. I'm well aware that different sister projects have different natures, not everything is an article, not everyone is a Wikipedian. ::# Could you provide some examples? When it comes to Proofread and the Page namespace, we've restored the full width (made an exception to the limited width feature). Works requiring placing sidenotes in the margins - could you share some links? ::# I'll ask, but I doubt if this is about the skin. Perhaps it's more about the search itself... (@[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]], FYI.) ::[[User:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|SGrabarczuk (WMF)]] ([[User talk:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|talk]]) 02:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC) :::# It's more than just the label; it's also the placement of those two items which, on Wikisource, are broader (even site-wide) rather than specific to one work. (a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource. I would like to know which Wikisource projects thought this would be a good idea? :::--[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:42, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::::@[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for all these arguments and examples.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The parser tries to detect when it needs to insert p tags around content (it thinks all content must be wrapped in a block element of some kind, and inserts p tags when it thinks such is missing), and frequently gets triggered by all sorts of things you wouldn't really think mattered. This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it.

In order to display the layouts, that Gadget needs to wrap the content part of the page (the transcluded content) inside a few extra <code>div</code> containers. But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed. It's likely I will do the same here at some point to try to cut down on the amount of global code and the flaky behaviour.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and I've given talks on the project to a couple of library conferences. I've blogged about [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how we've gotten a local author to release their work under an open licence]. The Grey District Library has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and I've just received a grant from the [https://matatuhifoundation.co.nz/ Mātātuhi Foundation], funded by the Auckland Writers Festival to spend a help-day a week supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project to more libraries. Many people here have kindly stepped in to help out our team and untangle some of the more technical aspects of Wikisource. If anyone would like the add themselves to the task force [[Wikisource:West Coast Task Force|project page]], it would be great to have some regular assistance with transclusion, ToCs and indexes, and some other more complex fornatting—I'm just a beginner, having only been brought into the fold last year.

Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]).

An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects. If we could, it would help to prevent such things from happening very much. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 07:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :::as a part of the process of deleting redirects, should we include a "what links here check" and if not fixing right away, then adding to a list for linking at the other wiki? --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 18:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::This sort of thing has even happened here with intrawiki links: see [[Special:PermaLink/11316706|Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/36]] and [[Special:PermaLink/9216169|The Passionate Shepherd to His Love]], both of which were broken because the page to which they both linked ([[Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5]]) was moved to [[The Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5|''The'' Golden Treasury, etc.]] A redirect was left for the root page in mainspace, but not for all the subpages.{{pbr}}The former of the two broken pages also illustrates the use of {{tl|anchor}}, which is one way—albeit unwieldy—to link to a specific passage in a text. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :: Wiktionary wants to cite a use of a word. Thus Wiktionarians don't want to cite a generic form of the work, or link to the top level; they want to link a page that has the word in question on it in a specifically dateable context. It doesn't strike me as that rare; while there are times you want to link to a generic version, there's times you want to talk about Homer's use of rosy-fingered dawn ("as soon as early rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, then they set sail for the wide camp of the Achaeans") and link not to the Iliad, but the Iliad, book 1, and a translation that faithfully translates that (not Alexander Pope's! apparently many students over the years have been confused by that).--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 04:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC) :::Thanks all for your input.

Members of the Wikimedia community have the opportunity to elect two candidates to a three-year term. <br>To make the election process more straightforward and to help the community members make informed decisions about candidates they want to support, we have prepared a tool called '''[[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass|Election Compass]]'''.<br> '''How does the Election Compass work?'''<br> The Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass/Statements|propose statements]] for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering their answers to the statements (agree/neutral/disagree). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views. <br> '''Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:''' *July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass *July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements *July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements *August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements *August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements *August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision Thank you!<br> [[User:BPipal (WMF)|BPipal (WMF)]] ([[User talk:BPipal (WMF)|talk]]) 15:31, 13 July 2022 (UTC) == Uploading new versions of files == I have been asking in vain for help with the for some time now and humbly request that my problem be given some attention.

[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 20:08, 19 July 2022 (UTC) == Second-hand transcriptions == Can second-hand transcriptions be speedied based on [[Wikisource:What_Wikisource_includes#Second-hand_transcriptions]] or should they be listed at [[Wikisource:Proposed deletions]]? Currently, they are not among the [[Wikisource:Deletion policy#Speedy deletion]] criteria, but they are repeatedly proposed for speedy deletion. -- [[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 09:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC) :Only speedy-able if a sourced version of the same text is hosted, per G4. There are no other valid criteria for speedy deletion of such. Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand? They are after all, simply brought over from the White House websites with minimal wikification. Yet, I've never seen them proposed for deletion on this ground. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 09:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC) ::once upon a time, we used old guttenberg transcriptions pasted in the side by side edit box, when the text layer was really bad.

I don't think that there is any evidence that many of these contributions stay on enWS. Most of them come, copy-and-paste a text (often without formatting), and then leave. It's an extremely fast process for them. Then, other enWS contributors then have to spend time on trying to format properly. PG are especially problematic because they silently correct errata. The entire process is just a time drain. As for the Executive Orders, I would also say that they should be speedied. They are published in the Federal Register and should be scan-backed from there. [[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 21:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC) ::::they were useful to me, if you delete them, then i cannot migrate works to scan backed works. increasing the scrap rate does not increase quality. --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 22:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC) ::::Definitely '''not''' G5. That is for ''content'' that is out of scope. The content of these works are in scope (on the whole), it's just the source that is seen as problematic by those tagging for speedy deletion. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 06:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC) :Second-hand transcriptions are out of scope for enWS, and any ''newly added'' second-hand transcriptions are speediable as such (that is, under CSD G5, which is the criterion for all content that does not meet [[WS:WWI]]). But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::The bracketed stuff are informative examples to illustrate; the criterion itself is {{tqi|'''Beyond scope''': The content … lies outside the scope of Wikisource|q=y}} (i.e. it fails to meet [[WS:WWI]]), and the limiting clause is {{tqi|… The content '''clearly''' lies outside the scope …|q=y}}. The point there is that if something is borderline or there's a significant possibility of mistake the admin shouldn't unilaterally decide (speedy) and it should go to WS:PD instead for community discussion. The latter is usually exemplified by someone pasting ''Harry Potter'' here—which is clearly a copyvio—versus someone proofreading a 1964 book that makes a superficially plausible claim of being {{tl|PD-US-no renewal}}. The latter could still be a copyvio, but a single admin shouldn't decide that based solely on misbelieving the contributor's assertion: it should go to WS:PD where the community can examine it and possibly dig up the evidence (either way) to determine its actual copyright status. ''Harry Potter'', obviously, should be speedied on sight (and preferably before Wizarding World Digital sends its DMCA-wielding Nazgûl after us).{{pbr}}That being said, I absolutely agree our policies are in dire need of tightening and should be written with much greater clarity. Navigating them now are an exercise in frustration for both general contributors and admins trying to apply them. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 14:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == Copyright status of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'' (1962) == I have done some searching in the copyright.gov database and come up empty for a renewal of the [https://archive.org/details/menshipssea0000unse first edition of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea''] by Alan Villiers, published in 1962 by the National Geographic Society. As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS? I would have put this on [[WS:Copyright discussions]], but that seems to be more about works already on WS than about ones offsite. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 04:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC) : Do you have the book? If you look at the actual book, you may see a list of copyright notices from other works. With or without them, I'm still concerned that there may be a number of other works that it's copying from.--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 20:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC) ::{{ping|Prosfilaes|Xover}} I'm reasonably confident that at least the text content was written specifically for this book, not copied from another source. I have a copy of the 1973 edition, which explicitly states: "Text by Alan Villiers / with a foreword by Melville Bell Grosvenor / and additional chapters by [several other authors]". The foreword to this edition seems to indicate that the book was written from scratch: "In commissioning him [Villiers] as chief author of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'', the Society chose the greatest sea writer of our time."{{pbr}}There are, however, a proudly proclaimed "423 illustrations, 294 in full color" in my copy. Most of these are undoubtedly still under copyright (although a few are obviously in the public domain, and some were commissioned specifically for the book). That's slightly less than one illustration per page. I suppose I could redact all the offending images if I wanted to, but it's probably not fruitful enough to spend a great deal of time with. (If I were to do so&mdash;assuming all the text content is PD&mdash;would it then be suitable to host here?) In any case, thanks to both of you for the help and advice. <code>:)</code> [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 17:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]]: You're right that [[WS:CV]] is more a workflow for discussing the copyright status of texts already on enWS. But you can certainly raise other copyright issues, such as the one in this thread, there too. It's more a question of what's the best venue for your needs: [[WS:CV]] is watched by only a small subset of the community (unfortunately) and is often months and years backlogged (because of insufficient community participation) so as a practical matter you may prefer to post here. On the flip side, for complicated copyright issues WS:CV may be better because the copyright wonks will see it there, and it may get you a more definitive answer (or at least guard against wholly incorrect answers).{{pbr}}Short version: feel free to post such queries either place.{{pbr}}PS. I agree with Prosfilaes: even if the copyright on ''this'' work was not renewed, it may contain independently copyrighted works that for our purposes has the same effect as if the whole was in copyright. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == ToC links == I like to style ToC's with the text linking to the transcoded page (unconditionally), and the page number linking to the Page namespace (when viewed from the Page or Index namespace), and to the transcoded page when the ToC is transcluded. This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too. But it's really nice to have working links both to the transcluded pages and the Page namespace from the Index page, on the actual ToC, so I'd love to get this fixed. Suggestions? [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 03:50, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :Seems to me that this behaviour is caused by the part <code>#invoke:Filter|CleanParentDirectories</code> in the code of {{Template|TOC link}}. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 11:57, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :: Yeah, but I'm not sure what would break if I took that out.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 14:03, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::I took a look, and it looks like {{tl|TOC link}} is broken by design: it has a hard assumption that there is never more than one level of subpage. Unfortunately, people have apparently depended on the broken behaviour for the last decade or so, so fixing it will require going through all extant uses and fixing the broken ones. I'm not sure that's a task that can be reasonably automated either (it'd need a lot of custom coding, not just application of existing tools), so there's no quick fixes here.

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion. Among others, these are: *[[Index:Paradise lost - a poem in ten books (IA paradiselostpoem00milt 0).pdf|An edition of ''Paradise Lost'']] *[[Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 1 Original).djvu|''Uncle Tom's Cabin'']] *[[Index:The common reader.djvu|''The Common Reader'']] There are lots of fascinating books to discover.

And I know for my own part that the local Covid status could easily make me too busy to check in here for weeks on end.

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways. The first half of that sentence is not the focus of this discussion, the second half is.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location.

Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***The policy says "When an entire work is available as a djvu file on commons and an Index page is created here, works are considered in process not excerpts." A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 15:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * Nice wall of text, [[User:Xover|Xover]] (and I say that with great respect!) -- it generally makes sense and sounds good to me. As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue.

But… instead of me dropping another wall of text on the remaining points of disagreement, maybe that means we're in a position to try to hash out a draft guidance / policy type page with the rough framework? Then we could go at the remaining issues point by point. Because I think I'm in with a decent chance to persuade you to my point of view on at least some of them, but this thread is fast getting unwieldy (mostly my fault).

If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies. Please take this comment or leave it, as appropriate. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)</s> {{smaller block|Apologies, I see I had missed the point.}} I disagree with {{u|Xover}}'s statement that a top-level page for a publication, with a link only to a single article within the publication, has "near-zero value." Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place. Anyway those are my 2 cents, sorry if they are redundant —[[User:Beleg Tâl|Beleg Tâl]] ([[User talk:Beleg Tâl|talk]]) 00:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC) === Proposal === Since there has been no extra input for a month, and not wanting this section to get archived without at least attempting a proposal, I have started a proposal [[#Collective work inclusion criteria]] above.

I wanted to give you an update about the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements|Desktop Improvements]] project, which the Wikimedia Foundation Web team has been working on for the past few years. Our work is almost finished! 🎉 We would love to see these improvements become the default for readers and editors across all wikis. <span style="background-color:#fc3;">In the coming weeks, we will begin conversations on more wikis, including yours. 🗓️</span> We will gladly read your suggestions! The goals of the project are to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. The project consists of a series of feature improvements which make it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, use article tabs and the user menu, and more. The improvements are already visible by default for readers and editors on more than 30 wikis, including Wikipedias in [[:fr:|French]], [[:pt:|Portuguese]], and [[:fa:|Persian]]. The changes apply to the [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|useskin=vector}} Vector] skin only, although it will always be possible to revert to the previous version on an individual basis. [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|useskin=monobook}} Monobook] or [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|useskin=timeless}} Timeless] users will not notice any changes. ; The newest features * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Table of contents|Table of contents]] - our version is easier to reach, gain context of the page, and navigate throughout the page without needing to scroll. It is currently tested across our pilot wikis. It is also available for editors who have opted into the Vector 2022 skin. * [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Page tools|Page tools]] - now, there are two types of links in the sidebar. There are actions and tools for individual pages (like [[Special:RecentChangesLinked|Related changes]]) and links of the wiki-wide nature (like [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]). We are going to separate these into two intuitive menus. ; How to enable/disable the improvements [[File:Desktop Improvements - how to enable globally.png|thumb|[[Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|{{int:globalpreferences}}]]]] * It is possible to opt-in individually [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|in the appearance tab within the preferences]] by selecting "{{int:skinname-vector-2022}}". Also, it is possible to opt-in on all wikis using the [[Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|global preferences]]. * On wikis where the changes are visible by default for all, logged-in users can always opt-out to the Legacy Vector.

[[User:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|SGrabarczuk (WMF)]] ([[User talk:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|talk]]) 21:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC) : I can already see how these changes are very Wikipedia-centric. (1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that. I've [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Page_tools&diff=prev&oldid=5302381&diffmode=source just replaced] every single use of "article" on the documentation page about the page tools menu. I'm well aware that different sister projects have different natures, not everything is an article, not everyone is a Wikipedian. ::# Could you provide some examples? When it comes to Proofread and the Page namespace, we've restored the full width (made an exception to the limited width feature). Works requiring placing sidenotes in the margins - could you share some links? ::# I'll ask, but I doubt if this is about the skin. Perhaps it's more about the search itself...

(a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The parser tries to detect when it needs to insert p tags around content (it thinks all content must be wrapped in a block element of some kind, and inserts p tags when it thinks such is missing), and frequently gets triggered by all sorts of things you wouldn't really think mattered. This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour.

So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed. It's likely I will do the same here at some point to try to cut down on the amount of global code and the flaky behaviour.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and I've given talks on the project to a couple of library conferences. I've blogged about [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how we've gotten a local author to release their work under an open licence].

Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]).

An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this.

Currently, they are not among the [[Wikisource:Deletion policy#Speedy deletion]] criteria, but they are repeatedly proposed for speedy deletion. -- [[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 09:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC) :Only speedy-able if a sourced version of the same text is hosted, per G4. There are no other valid criteria for speedy deletion of such. Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand? They are after all, simply brought over from the White House websites with minimal wikification. Yet, I've never seen them proposed for deletion on this ground.

I don't think that there is any evidence that many of these contributions stay on enWS. Most of them come, copy-and-paste a text (often without formatting), and then leave. It's an extremely fast process for them. Then, other enWS contributors then have to spend time on trying to format properly. PG are especially problematic because they silently correct errata. The entire process is just a time drain. As for the Executive Orders, I would also say that they should be speedied. They are published in the Federal Register and should be scan-backed from there. [[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 21:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC) ::::they were useful to me, if you delete them, then i cannot migrate works to scan backed works. increasing the scrap rate does not increase quality. --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 22:41, 20 July 2022 (UTC) ::::Definitely '''not''' G5. That is for ''content'' that is out of scope. The content of these works are in scope (on the whole), it's just the source that is seen as problematic by those tagging for speedy deletion. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 06:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC) :Second-hand transcriptions are out of scope for enWS, and any ''newly added'' second-hand transcriptions are speediable as such (that is, under CSD G5, which is the criterion for all content that does not meet [[WS:WWI]]). But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::The bracketed stuff are informative examples to illustrate; the criterion itself is {{tqi|'''Beyond scope''': The content … lies outside the scope of Wikisource|q=y}} (i.e. it fails to meet [[WS:WWI]]), and the limiting clause is {{tqi|… The content '''clearly''' lies outside the scope …|q=y}}. The point there is that if something is borderline or there's a significant possibility of mistake the admin shouldn't unilaterally decide (speedy) and it should go to WS:PD instead for community discussion. The latter is usually exemplified by someone pasting ''Harry Potter'' here—which is clearly a copyvio—versus someone proofreading a 1964 book that makes a superficially plausible claim of being {{tl|PD-US-no renewal}}. The latter could still be a copyvio, but a single admin shouldn't decide that based solely on misbelieving the contributor's assertion: it should go to WS:PD where the community can examine it and possibly dig up the evidence (either way) to determine its actual copyright status. ''Harry Potter'', obviously, should be speedied on sight (and preferably before Wizarding World Digital sends its DMCA-wielding Nazgûl after us).{{pbr}}That being said, I absolutely agree our policies are in dire need of tightening and should be written with much greater clarity. Navigating them now are an exercise in frustration for both general contributors and admins trying to apply them. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 14:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == Copyright status of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'' (1962) == I have done some searching in the copyright.gov database and come up empty for a renewal of the [https://archive.org/details/menshipssea0000unse first edition of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea''] by Alan Villiers, published in 1962 by the National Geographic Society. As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS? I would have put this on [[WS:Copyright discussions]], but that seems to be more about works already on WS than about ones offsite. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 04:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC) : Do you have the book? If you look at the actual book, you may see a list of copyright notices from other works.

I have a copy of the 1973 edition, which explicitly states: "Text by Alan Villiers / with a foreword by Melville Bell Grosvenor / and additional chapters by [several other authors]". The foreword to this edition seems to indicate that the book was written from scratch: "In commissioning him [Villiers] as chief author of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'', the Society chose the greatest sea writer of our time."{{pbr}}There are, however, a proudly proclaimed "423 illustrations, 294 in full color" in my copy. Most of these are undoubtedly still under copyright (although a few are obviously in the public domain, and some were commissioned specifically for the book). That's slightly less than one illustration per page. I suppose I could redact all the offending images if I wanted to, but it's probably not fruitful enough to spend a great deal of time with. (If I were to do so&mdash;assuming all the text content is PD&mdash;would it then be suitable to host here?)

But you can certainly raise other copyright issues, such as the one in this thread, there too. It's more a question of what's the best venue for your needs: [[WS:CV]] is watched by only a small subset of the community (unfortunately) and is often months and years backlogged (because of insufficient community participation) so as a practical matter you may prefer to post here. On the flip side, for complicated copyright issues WS:CV may be better because the copyright wonks will see it there, and it may get you a more definitive answer (or at least guard against wholly incorrect answers).{{pbr}}Short version: feel free to post such queries either place.{{pbr}}PS.

[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == ToC links == I like to style ToC's with the text linking to the transcoded page (unconditionally), and the page number linking to the Page namespace (when viewed from the Page or Index namespace), and to the transcoded page when the ToC is transcluded. This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too.

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion.

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 15:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I believe that, if there is no scan as an Index: page, the main-namespace page should not exist unless it is being actively completed or is already mostly completed.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways.

(You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 01:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :{{re|JesseW}} It's not clear to me in your above whether when you use the term "index" you refer to a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace, or a general wikipage in the main namespace on which an index-like structure (and/or a ToC, or similar) is manually created. Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***The policy says "When an entire work is available as a djvu file on commons and an Index page is created here, works are considered in process not excerpts." A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 15:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * Nice wall of text, [[User:Xover|Xover]] (and I say that with great respect!) -- it generally makes sense and sounds good to me. As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue.

But… instead of me dropping another wall of text on the remaining points of disagreement, maybe that means we're in a position to try to hash out a draft guidance / policy type page with the rough framework?

Because I think I'm in with a decent chance to persuade you to my point of view on at least some of them, but this thread is fast getting unwieldy (mostly my fault).

If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies.

Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place.

Our work is almost finished! 🎉 We would love to see these improvements become the default for readers and editors across all wikis. <span style="background-color:#fc3;">In the coming weeks, we will begin conversations on more wikis, including yours. 🗓️</span> We will gladly read your suggestions! The goals of the project are to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. The project consists of a series of feature improvements which make it easier to read and learn, navigate within the page, search, switch between languages, use article tabs and the user menu, and more. The improvements are already visible by default for readers and editors on more than 30 wikis, including Wikipedias in [[:fr:|French]], [[:pt:|Portuguese]], and [[:fa:|Persian]]. The changes apply to the [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}|useskin=vector}} Vector] skin only, although it will always be possible to revert to the previous version on an individual basis.

There are actions and tools for individual pages (like [[Special:RecentChangesLinked|Related changes]]) and links of the wiki-wide nature (like [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]).

[[User:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|SGrabarczuk (WMF)]] ([[User talk:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|talk]]) 21:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC) : I can already see how these changes are very Wikipedia-centric. (1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that. I've [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Reading/Web/Desktop_Improvements/Features/Page_tools&diff=prev&oldid=5302381&diffmode=source just replaced] every single use of "article" on the documentation page about the page tools menu. I'm well aware that different sister projects have different natures, not everything is an article, not everyone is a Wikipedian. ::# Could you provide some examples? When it comes to Proofread and the Page namespace, we've restored the full width (made an exception to the limited width feature). Works requiring placing sidenotes in the margins - could you share some links? ::# I'll ask, but I doubt if this is about the skin. Perhaps it's more about the search itself... (@[[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]], FYI.) ::[[User:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|SGrabarczuk (WMF)]] ([[User talk:SGrabarczuk (WMF)|talk]]) 02:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC) :::# It's more than just the label; it's also the placement of those two items which, on Wikisource, are broader (even site-wide) rather than specific to one work. (a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource. I would like to know which Wikisource projects thought this would be a good idea? :::--[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:42, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::::@[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for all these arguments and examples.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 16:54, 29 June 2022 (UTC) :I can't state this to a certainty; maybe somebody with a better grasp of the search API can verify, but the [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=23 very first revision of the Main Page] had a single link to the [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Gettysburg_Address&oldid=1 Gettysburg Address], so that looks likely to have been the first. It's also worth noting that Gettysburg Address has [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?curid=1 page id number 1] while Main Page is #2, so I'm pretty confident here. — [[User:Dcsohl|Dcsohl]] <span style="font-size: 69%;{{#if:|{{{style}}};}}"><span style="display:inline-block; text-align:center; vertical-align:top; line-height:100%; vertical-align:sub">([[User_talk:Dcsohl|talk]])<br/><span style="vertical-align:bottom; line-height:100%;">([[Special:Contributions/Dcsohl|contribs]])</span></span></span> 19:05, 29 June 2022 (UTC) ::It's not a page ID, it's a revision ID: [[Special:PermanentLink/1]]. So the first edit on Wikisource, by an IP editor, was adding the Gettysburg Address. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 19:26, 29 June 2022 (UTC) :::And the first work to be fully proofread and validated was [[Frontiers]], but that was several years later. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 05:30, 30 June 2022 (UTC) == Messed up rendering.. == https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:Northmost_Australia_volume_2.djvu/25&oldid=12433298 Here something gets mis-wrapped meaning what should be a continuous division/paragrpah isn't. What's actually 'wrong' because there were NO linter warnings at all about this... [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 17:05, 30 June 2022 (UTC) :Don't leave line breaks is the simple answer. The more complex is that line break characters don't behave very well, so don't leave them in. I note that the original text has small-caps throughout the page, all of which have been done as all-caps. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 05:14, 1 July 2022 (UTC) ::{{ping|Beeswaxcandle}} I had taken out the line-breaks on a subsequent edit, However, currently the Linter generates no warnings about the soft line-breaks in SPAN issue. Is there a regular expression that could be used to find related situations in wiki-text, as trying to find these manually isn't practical for templates with widespread usage?[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 06:39, 1 July 2022 (UTC) :::Sorry, but I know not of what you speak. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 09:39, 1 July 2022 (UTC) :: Is there anyone technically minded reading this? I'm currently running a query in AWB to try and find some of the usages of {{tl|smaller}} where there are line-feeds in the paramter which causes the (mis-rendering). I've also raised a ticket on Phabricator (T311769), which gives a little more detail on what actually happens. :: As I said, trying to find the "'line-breaks' intterupt a SPAN error" manually isn't feasible, it needs some kind of semi-automated filter. [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 10:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]]: This is just p-wrapping. The parser tries to detect when it needs to insert p tags around content (it thinks all content must be wrapped in a block element of some kind, and inserts p tags when it thinks such is missing), and frequently gets triggered by all sorts of things you wouldn't really think mattered. This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it. Wikisource is just about the only project that runs into this kind of problem regularly and we're a mere drop in the ocean compared to the Wikipedias etc. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 15:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC) ::{{ping|Xover}} :::Can you have a look at {{tl|hi}} then? When I changed that in debugging a lint error to include the newlines as you suggest above, I got loads and loads of previously undetected misnesting errors? (on a related note, {{tl|hanging indent inherit}} and {{tl|dent}} and related may also cause the same issue in rendering to manifest in related situations. :::Is there an automated way to 'find' and repair these hard line breaks, because the manual regexp I was using listpages.py with found at least 4500 for {{tl|smaller}} alone? (https://public.paws.wmcloud.org/User:ShakespeareFan00/linebreaks_in_SPAN) :::A related check found at least 500 templates that were SPAN based and accepted a parameter based input, (https://public.paws.wmcloud.org/User:ShakespeareFan00/obs_spans_unfiltered), and that's without considering the DIV based templates that wrap parameters in a span. :::This either needs a fix in the parser, or it needs a specifc 'Linter' rule to look for the P in SPAN mis-nesting that results, in the output. :::(I consider the P wrapping useful as it let me set up some use case specific behavior in {{tl|hi/m}} , {{tl|dent/m}} which wouldn't be as easy to setup otherwise. ) :::[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 17:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC) == Pages and index at different locations breaking internal linking.. == [[Page:An introduction to Indonesian linguistics, being four essays.djvu/112]] links upward to [[Index:An introduction to Indonesian linguistics, being four essays; Renward Brandstetter; 1916; London, Royal Asiatic Society.djvu]] Where is the Index SUPPOSED to be please? [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 18:09, 30 June 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Page:An introduction to Indonesian linguistics, being four essays.djvu/112]] tells us (accurately) that the index is at [[Index:An introduction to Indonesian linguistics, being four essays.djvu]]. I don't know why the wrong link is being generated in the top bar. Also note that the forward/back buttons are missing. The index page doesn't appear to have ever been moved, and the djvu file has never been edited since its creation, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 22:40, 30 June 2022 (UTC) : File was renamed at Commons. [ https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:An_introduction_to_Indonesian_linguistics,_being_four_essays.djvu&redirect=no] appears to confuse Proofread Page. [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 08:35, 1 July 2022 (UTC) == Large names on legislative texts == For some reason every report and legislative text in the 19th century had a massive name. See: [[Index:The Ordinances of the Legislative Council of New Zealand and of the Legislative Council of the Province of New Munster - From 4. Victoriæ to 16. Victoriæ Inclusive, 1841 to 1853.pdf]] And I guess it's preferable to work with the actual name, but it's just so unwieldy to work with on pages for transcription. Is it at all frowned upon to just change this to a shorter name like "Statutes of New Zealand - 1841 to 1853" Or is it preferred to keep the original name? [[User:Supertrinko|Supertrinko]] ([[User talk:Supertrinko|talk]]) 05:11, 1 July 2022 (UTC) :As long as the mainspace title for the work is a correct one, the only rules about the title of the Index: are that it's unique and matches the File: name. It's preferable that the title has meaning, but we have titles in the form "CU964561". I frequently use short file names when uploading, and would have used "Ordinances of NZ 1841-53" for this example. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 05:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC) ::Thanks! I think in this instance, the long name provides no value, so I'd be inclined to do it in the format you suggested. I'll look at changing it since I haven't done much with it at this stage. [[User:Supertrinko|Supertrinko]] ([[User talk:Supertrinko|talk]]) 05:21, 1 July 2022 (UTC) == Lots of blank pages == Around half of the pages (every other pair, in this case, but I've seen books where it was every alternate page) in an old book I'm transcribing are blank. Is there a tool that will let me select them all from the pagelist, and mark them as such? <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 16:46, 1 July 2022 (UTC) :It is a task a bot can run. [[User:Mpaa|Mpaa]] ([[User talk:Mpaa|talk]]) 20:52, 2 July 2022 (UTC) ::Thanks. That will be a good fallback, but I don't have the sills to run such a bot, and am looking for a tool that I - and others like me - can use. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 11:44, 3 July 2022 (UTC) :::No end-user / user friendly tool that I'm aware of, sorry. But if you provide a list of the pages it should be fairly easy for a bot operator to do (I'm assuming, I've never done that, but I know Mpaa has handled many similar requests here). Large numbers of blank pages is not a very prevalent problem, so far as I can tell, so it's probably more efficient to just handle these cases as one-offs (vs. making an end-user tool to do it). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 12:49, 3 July 2022 (UTC) == Missing End tags : center == https://public.paws.wmcloud.org/User:ShakespeareFan00/obs_center It would be nice if these could be cleared soon. The thinking behind concentrating on these, (and the related mismatched font,strike and tt tags) is so that there are NO mismatched version of these obselete tags in Content pages. The automated approach to conversion that Wikiveristy uses to resolve 'obsolete' tags can than reasonably be applied. [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 17:41, 1 July 2022 (UTC) == Common.js: line 33 to 59 == There're two scripts in [[:th:MediaWiki:Common.js]] line 53 to 79, which are documented as "envelope subNotes" and "envelop hatNotes", which are also presented in [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] from line 33 to 59 here. I wonder what these scripts actually do because from poking around the inspect element, I couldn't find how these two scripts currently apply to Wikisource. --[[User:Bebiezaza|Bebiezaza]] ([[User talk:Bebiezaza|talk]]) 15:03, 2 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Bebiezaza|Bebiezaza]] Both of these snippets seach for elements that have a specific selector and adds them to the top of the page.For example, the envelop hatNote section searches for elements that are tables with classes <code>ambox</code> or <code>ombox</code> (i.e. the wrapper element generated from the <code><nowiki>{{ambox}}</nowiki></code> and <code>{{<nowiki>ombox</nowiki>}}</code> templates and prepends them to the top of the page. (Take a look at [[British_Medical_Journal]] with and without <code>?safemode=1</code>) [[User:Sohom data|Sohom Datta]] ([[User talk:Sohom data|talk]]) 13:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Bebiezaza|Bebiezaza]], @[[User:Sohom data|Sohom data]]: These are adjuncts to the page numbers / dynamic layouts script. In order to display the layouts, that Gadget needs to wrap the content part of the page (the transcluded content) inside a few extra <code>div</code> containers. But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed. It's likely I will do the same here at some point to try to cut down on the amount of global code and the flaky behaviour. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:36, 12 July 2022 (UTC) == Wikisource public library project in New Zealand == [[File:WCNZ banner.jpg|frameless|700x700px]] Some background: with the help of [[User:Beeswaxcandle]], the Westland District Library in New Zealand in early 2021 began scanning and uploading out-of-copyright works in its collection to Wikisource. The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and I've given talks on the project to a couple of library conferences. I've blogged about [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how we've gotten a local author to release their work under an open licence]. The Grey District Library has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and I've just received a grant from the [https://matatuhifoundation.co.nz/ Mātātuhi Foundation], funded by the Auckland Writers Festival to spend a help-day a week supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project to more libraries. Many people here have kindly stepped in to help out our team and untangle some of the more technical aspects of Wikisource. If anyone would like the add themselves to the task force [[Wikisource:West Coast Task Force|project page]], it would be great to have some regular assistance with transclusion, ToCs and indexes, and some other more complex fornatting—I'm just a beginner, having only been brought into the fold last year. We're looking forward to significantly increasing the amount of New Zealand content on the site over the next six months, and building a volunteer community here so the project becomes self-sustaining. Any help appreciated! —[[User:Giantflightlessbirds|Giantflightlessbirds]] ([[User talk:Giantflightlessbirds|talk]]) 02:06, 3 July 2022 (UTC) : {{ping|Giantflightlessbirds}} It would be great if you can nominate some works at the [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/Nominations|Monthly Challenge]] as well.

I have noticed that some pages using {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} started to have this problem (although not a long time ago they worked fine) and so I started replacing that template with {{tl|TOC begin}} templates, which always helped, except the above mentioned page.-- [[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:42, 8 July 2022 (UTC) *[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]]: It’s a built-in “feature” that makes pages with lots of text simply not work: see [[:Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded]]. The solution is to subst: all templates, so make sure you’ve proofread the text.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 22:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC) *:What, no, certainly not! Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::Some of the complexity will in time become obselete anyway...

An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects.

There are no other valid criteria for speedy deletion of such. Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand? They are after all, simply brought over from the White House websites with minimal wikification. Yet, I've never seen them proposed for deletion on this ground.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 06:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC) :Second-hand transcriptions are out of scope for enWS, and any ''newly added'' second-hand transcriptions are speediable as such (that is, under CSD G5, which is the criterion for all content that does not meet [[WS:WWI]]). But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these.

I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::The bracketed stuff are informative examples to illustrate; the criterion itself is {{tqi|'''Beyond scope''': The content … lies outside the scope of Wikisource|q=y}} (i.e. it fails to meet [[WS:WWI]]), and the limiting clause is {{tqi|… The content '''clearly''' lies outside the scope …|q=y}}. The point there is that if something is borderline or there's a significant possibility of mistake the admin shouldn't unilaterally decide (speedy) and it should go to WS:PD instead for community discussion. The latter is usually exemplified by someone pasting ''Harry Potter'' here—which is clearly a copyvio—versus someone proofreading a 1964 book that makes a superficially plausible claim of being {{tl|PD-US-no renewal}}. The latter could still be a copyvio, but a single admin shouldn't decide that based solely on misbelieving the contributor's assertion: it should go to WS:PD where the community can examine it and possibly dig up the evidence (either way) to determine its actual copyright status. ''Harry Potter'', obviously, should be speedied on sight (and preferably before Wizarding World Digital sends its DMCA-wielding Nazgûl after us).{{pbr}}That being said, I absolutely agree our policies are in dire need of tightening and should be written with much greater clarity.

As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS?

The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too. But it's really nice to have working links both to the transcluded pages and the Page namespace from the Index page, on the actual ToC, so I'd love to get this fixed. Suggestions? [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 03:50, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :Seems to me that this behaviour is caused by the part <code>#invoke:Filter|CleanParentDirectories</code> in the code of {{Template|TOC link}}. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 11:57, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :: Yeah, but I'm not sure what would break if I took that out.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 14:03, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::I took a look, and it looks like {{tl|TOC link}} is broken by design: it has a hard assumption that there is never more than one level of subpage. Unfortunately, people have apparently depended on the broken behaviour for the last decade or so, so fixing it will require going through all extant uses and fixing the broken ones. I'm not sure that's a task that can be reasonably automated either (it'd need a lot of custom coding, not just application of existing tools), so there's no quick fixes here. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 18:34, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::: Cool, that makes creating a {{tl|TOC link multilevel}} much more appealing. I'll see what I can do. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 21:06, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::: Actually, it looks like {{tl|TOC link}} is fine; it's {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} that needs fixing for multi-level subpages. Specifically, {{tlp|TOC link|1|Volume 3/Something|link label}} works fine; the trick is that {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} breaks up the page link as "The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36" and "The Lisbon Earthquake" (and makes the text link label just the second part), while {{tl|TOC link}} needs the "Volume 36" part explicitly included. I should be able to make a variant of {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} that handles this correctly, just by splitting the "The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36" param.

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved! In [[Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/July 2022|July]], contributors will find the opportunity to take up again the work on some important works that were already present in the challenge once, but didn't reach completion. Among others, these are: *[[Index:Paradise lost - a poem in ten books (IA paradiselostpoem00milt 0).pdf|An edition of ''Paradise Lost'']] *[[Index:Uncle Tom's cabin, or, Life among the lowly (1852 Volume 1 Original).djvu|''Uncle Tom's Cabin'']] *[[Index:The common reader.djvu|''The Common Reader'']] There are lots of fascinating books to discover.

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal.

Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject.

A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work.

As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue.

If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies. Please take this comment or leave it, as appropriate. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)</s> {{smaller block|Apologies, I see I had missed the point.}} I disagree with {{u|Xover}}'s statement that a top-level page for a publication, with a link only to a single article within the publication, has "near-zero value." Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place. Anyway those are my 2 cents, sorry if they are redundant —[[User:Beleg Tâl|Beleg Tâl]] ([[User talk:Beleg Tâl|talk]]) 00:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC) === Proposal === Since there has been no extra input for a month, and not wanting this section to get archived without at least attempting a proposal, I have started a proposal [[#Collective work inclusion criteria]] above.

(1) For example, things like "Wikidata item" and "Upload file" are not "article-specific" on Wikisource. Nor does Wikisource even have pages that are "articles" unless they are magazine articles or articles from other periodicals. Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that.

(a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

The parser tries to detect when it needs to insert p tags around content (it thinks all content must be wrapped in a block element of some kind, and inserts p tags when it thinks such is missing), and frequently gets triggered by all sorts of things you wouldn't really think mattered. This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it.

Victoriæ Inclusive, 1841 to 1853.pdf]] And I guess it's preferable to work with the actual name, but it's just so unwieldy to work with on pages for transcription.

Large numbers of blank pages is not a very prevalent problem, so far as I can tell, so it's probably more efficient to just handle these cases as one-offs (vs. making an end-user tool to do it).

The thinking behind concentrating on these, (and the related mismatched font,strike and tt tags) is so that there are NO mismatched version of these obselete tags in Content pages.

In order to display the layouts, that Gadget needs to wrap the content part of the page (the transcluded content) inside a few extra <code>div</code> containers. But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed. It's likely I will do the same here at some point to try to cut down on the amount of global code and the flaky behaviour.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and I've given talks on the project to a couple of library conferences. I've blogged about [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how we've gotten a local author to release their work under an open licence]. The Grey District Library has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and I've just received a grant from the [https://matatuhifoundation.co.nz/ Mātātuhi Foundation], funded by the Auckland Writers Festival to spend a help-day a week supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project to more libraries. Many people here have kindly stepped in to help out our team and untangle some of the more technical aspects of Wikisource.

Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::Some of the complexity will in time become obselete anyway... There's a proposal for the next 'level' of CSS for table to support the concept of dot leaders... which when supported in browsers should make adding the dots in TOC entries 1 line of CSS style, as opposed to the complex convolution used currently. ::[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 11:53, 9 July 2022 (UTC) == Deletion of redirects == Hi Wikisource folks. An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects. If we could, it would help to prevent such things from happening very much. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 07:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :::as a part of the process of deleting redirects, should we include a "what links here check" and if not fixing right away, then adding to a list for linking at the other wiki? --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 18:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::This sort of thing has even happened here with intrawiki links: see [[Special:PermaLink/11316706|Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/36]] and [[Special:PermaLink/9216169|The Passionate Shepherd to His Love]], both of which were broken because the page to which they both linked ([[Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5]]) was moved to [[The Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5|''The'' Golden Treasury, etc.]] A redirect was left for the root page in mainspace, but not for all the subpages.{{pbr}}The former of the two broken pages also illustrates the use of {{tl|anchor}}, which is one way—albeit unwieldy—to link to a specific passage in a text. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :: Wiktionary wants to cite a use of a word. Thus Wiktionarians don't want to cite a generic form of the work, or link to the top level; they want to link a page that has the word in question on it in a specifically dateable context. It doesn't strike me as that rare; while there are times you want to link to a generic version, there's times you want to talk about Homer's use of rosy-fingered dawn ("as soon as early rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, then they set sail for the wide camp of the Achaeans") and link not to the Iliad, but the Iliad, book 1, and a translation that faithfully translates that (not Alexander Pope's! apparently many students over the years have been confused by that).--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 04:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC) :::Thanks all for your input.

Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand?

But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::The bracketed stuff are informative examples to illustrate; the criterion itself is {{tqi|'''Beyond scope''': The content … lies outside the scope of Wikisource|q=y}} (i.e. it fails to meet [[WS:WWI]]), and the limiting clause is {{tqi|… The content '''clearly''' lies outside the scope …|q=y}}. The point there is that if something is borderline or there's a significant possibility of mistake the admin shouldn't unilaterally decide (speedy) and it should go to WS:PD instead for community discussion. The latter is usually exemplified by someone pasting ''Harry Potter'' here—which is clearly a copyvio—versus someone proofreading a 1964 book that makes a superficially plausible claim of being {{tl|PD-US-no renewal}}. The latter could still be a copyvio, but a single admin shouldn't decide that based solely on misbelieving the contributor's assertion: it should go to WS:PD where the community can examine it and possibly dig up the evidence (either way) to determine its actual copyright status. ''Harry Potter'', obviously, should be speedied on sight (and preferably before Wizarding World Digital sends its DMCA-wielding Nazgûl after us).{{pbr}}That being said, I absolutely agree our policies are in dire need of tightening and should be written with much greater clarity. Navigating them now are an exercise in frustration for both general contributors and admins trying to apply them. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 14:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == Copyright status of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'' (1962) == I have done some searching in the copyright.gov database and come up empty for a renewal of the [https://archive.org/details/menshipssea0000unse first edition of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea''] by Alan Villiers, published in 1962 by the National Geographic Society. As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS? I would have put this on [[WS:Copyright discussions]], but that seems to be more about works already on WS than about ones offsite.

I have a copy of the 1973 edition, which explicitly states: "Text by Alan Villiers / with a foreword by Melville Bell Grosvenor / and additional chapters by [several other authors]". The foreword to this edition seems to indicate that the book was written from scratch: "In commissioning him [Villiers] as chief author of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'', the Society chose the greatest sea writer of our time."{{pbr}}There are, however, a proudly proclaimed "423 illustrations, 294 in full color" in my copy. Most of these are undoubtedly still under copyright (although a few are obviously in the public domain, and some were commissioned specifically for the book). That's slightly less than one illustration per page. I suppose I could redact all the offending images if I wanted to, but it's probably not fruitful enough to spend a great deal of time with.

This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too. But it's really nice to have working links both to the transcluded pages and the Page namespace from the Index page, on the actual ToC, so I'd love to get this fixed. Suggestions?

Specifically, {{tlp|TOC link|1|Volume 3/Something|link label}} works fine; the trick is that {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} breaks up the page link as "The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36" and "The Lisbon Earthquake" (and makes the text link label just the second part), while {{tl|TOC link}} needs the "Volume 36" part explicitly included.

Nevertheless, this is more than 250% of the target of 2000 pages per month and thus it is a very good result. Interestingly, also last year's June challenge processed about 1000 pages less than in May 2021, so this may be a first indication of seasonal patterns in activity levels in the challenge. Fewer indexes were fully proofread or validated than in previous months. But, true to the spirit of the challenge, the completed works covered a wide range of subject matters and original creation dates: From a translation of Homer's Iliad to a document pertaining to U.S. law of the 20th century; from Sherlock Holmes stories to a work discussing etiquette. To highlight one work, [[Index:The Works of H G Wells Volume 5.pdf|Volume 5 of the complete works of H. G. Wells]] was proofread in June, an important step forward in the ambitious project of transcribing all 28 volumes of the series, of which some only entered the public domain this year. The completion of volume 5 was a true community effort. Thanks to everyone involved!

We have quite a few cases of works that are "collective" or "encyclopaedic" in that they comprise many standalone articles of individual value, which are basically just "shell pages", with no substantial content of any sort, not even imported scans or Index pages. For example, and this isn't intended to make any statement about these ''specific'' works, they're just examples and they may well get some work done soon during their respective [[WS:PD]] discussions: * [[Auction Prices of Books]], a four volume set of auction listings, by author. No scans, no content and a couple of notes in the header. * [[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]], a single volume from a periodical, with a AuxTOC of numbers, and a title page, but otherwise empty. Has scans and Index. * [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]], a three-volume dictionary by author. Currently has no scans, no title page, and a single non-scan backed article. * [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]], a top-level periodical page with a single volume number and no other content. No scans linked, though [[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway and Steam Navigation Guide (XVI)]] did once exist, it was deleted and [[Index:Bradshaw's_Monthly_(XVI).djvu]] exists and is partly proofread. Based on the usual rate of editing for things like that, unless dragged up into a process like WS:PD, they'll remain that way a very, very long time. I think it is perhaps there might be a case to host a mainspace page for this work, even though there is zero, or almost zero actual content. Do we want: * Mainspace pages where this is a tiny bit of information like header notes, scan links and maybe detective work on the talk page (not in this case). This provides a place for people to incrementally add content. Also gives "false positive" blue links, since there is actually no "real" content from the work itself, or * Do not have a mainspace page until there's some content. Only host this in terms of scan links author/portal scan links, much like we do for something like a novel. Personally, I lean (gently) towards #2, but with a fairly low bar for how much content is needed. Say, Indexes, basic templates, a title page and one example article. Ideally, a completed TOC if practical, especially for periodical volumes/numbers. It is fair to not wish to transcribe entire volumes of these work, it is fair to not want to import dozens of scans when you only wanted one, it is fair to only want an article or two, but it's not fair, IMO, to expect the first person who wants to add an article to have to do ''all'' the groundwork themselves, despite having been lured in with a blue link. That onus feels more like it should be on the person creating the top-level page in the first place. I do see some value in periodical top pages with decent lists of volumes and scans where known, because these are often tricky and fiddly to compile from Google books/IA/Hathi, so it's not useless work, even if there are no imported scans (though imported is better than not). We currently have a large handful of collective works listed for deletion right now in various levels of "no real content", and, furthermore, every single periodical that gets added can fall into this situation unless the person who adds, so I think we could have a think about what we really want to see here. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 15:43, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I believe that, if there is no scan as an Index: page, the main-namespace page should not exist unless it is being actively completed or is already mostly completed. A few pages (of the volume itself) is not very helpful, and is entirely useless if their is no scan given. [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 15:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC). * I think such preparatory information would ideally be on more centralized WikiProject pages (for the broad subject), both for clarity and to assist in keeping different efforts consistent -- but that it certainly should be retained as visible to non-admins. I think that the red vs blue link issue is minor (but not totally negligible) and outweighed by the disadvantages of hiding the history of previous efforts. I strongly encourage redirecting such pages to appropriate WikiProject pages (after copying over the details there). [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 18:11, 3 July 2020 (UTC) :* {{re|JesseW}} I agree that history shouldn't be deleted, but I think we should approach this in terms of what we want to see from these works, rather than what to do with the handful of examples at PD. There are hundreds of periodicals we could have but don't, and this applies to those as well. If we can come to a conclusion about what is and isn't wanted, we can make all the deletion requested works conform to that easily enough. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 20:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC) *I think these pages are necessary to list index pages and external scans of multi-volume works (such as encyclopaedias and periodicals) especially if they are wholly or partly anonymous or have many authors or are simply large. I think it makes no difference whether such pages are in the mainspace, the portal space or the project space (except that it is harder to find pages outside the mainspace). The point is that these works often have so many volumes (often dozens or hundreds) that they must have their own page, and cannot be merged into a larger portal or wikiproject. If the community starts insisting on index pages, what will happen is the rapid upload of a large number of scans for the periodicals that already have their own page. Likewise if the community insists on transclusion. I also think it is reasonable to have a contents page in the mainspace, as it allows transclusion of articles. Most importantly, new restrictions should not immediately apply to existing pages that were created before the introduction of the restrictions. This is necessary to prevent a bottleneck.

We do need to figure out how to avoid a de-facto process of using WS:PD as an ill-tempered ad-hoc venue for "forcing" improvements on people who have somehow managed to generate works that are so in need of improvement that another user has nominated them for deletion. Please also consider looking at [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] for an idea to have a "functional quality improvement process" to which such works could be referred upon discovery rather than kicking them straight to WS:PD. If you have other ideas or you have previously suggested something similar to address these frustrations, you could detail them there. Personally, I think we should always prefer improvement over deletion. Exactly ''what'' the remediation is (refer to a putative WP:Scans, WS:Scriptorium/Help, directly WS:PD as now, or something else) is ''not'' what this thread is for. This thread is for discussing, what, if anything, should be the tipping point for deeming a page "lacking" and doing something about, whatever "something" is. I don't think I can be much clearer that this is not about deletion. If we ''also'' have a better venue for improvements, then that's even better.{{parabr}}For example, my personal feeling and !vote on [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is "keep and improve", despite it lacking scans or even links to scans, having only one article and no other content, not even a title page: in short, failing almost every criterion suggested so far in this thread. The only thing it does have is have is good text quality of the one entry. I personally do not think this work should be deleted, but I ''do'' think it should be improved in specific ways. The first half of that sentence is not the focus of this discussion, the second half is.

And for that, I still think a WikiProject page is the right location, not mainspace. (Or, if you must, your userpage.) [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 00:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC) I realized I may not have been clear enough here -- in my view, the ideal process goes like this: # Decide on a work you are interested in (in this case, a periodical/encyclopedic one) -- don't record that anywhere on-wiki (except maybe your user page) # Find and upload (to Commons) a scan of one part/issue/etc of the work. # Create a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace for the scan. (You can stop after this point, without worry that your work will later be discarded.) # EITHER ## Put further research (on other editions, context, possible wikification, etc.) on that Index_talk page. ## Proofread a complete part of the scan (an article from the magazine issue, a chapter from the book, a entry from an encyclopedia, etc.) and transclude it to the mainspace (and create necessary parent pages), and put the further research on the Talk: page of the parent mainspace entry. If you can't find any scan, and don't want to leave your working notes on your user page, put them on a relevant WikiProject's page. If you come across such research done by others and misplaced, follow the above process to relocate it to an appropriate place, then redirect the page where you found it to the new location. That's my proposal. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 01:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :{{re|JesseW}} It's not clear to me in your above whether when you use the term "index" you refer to a ProofreadPage-managed page in the Index: namespace, or a general wikipage in the main namespace on which an index-like structure (and/or a ToC, or similar) is manually created. Could you clarify? --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 05:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) :: I meant the namespace. Clarified now. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 05:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *Hoo-boy. Y'all sure know how to pick the difficult issues…{{parabr}}My general stance is that: 1) scans and Index: (and Page:) namespace pages have no particular completion criteria to meet to merit inclusion, and can stay in whatever state indefinitely (there may be other reasons to get rid of them, but not this); and 2) the default for mainspace is that only ''scan-backed'' ''complete'' and ''finished'' works that meet a minimum standard for ''quality'' should exist there.{{parabr}}That general stance must be nuanced in two main ways: 1) there must be ''some'' kind of grandfather clause for pre-existing pages; and 2) there must exist exceptions for certain kinds of works that meet certain criteria. I won't touch on the grandfather clause here much, except to say I'm generally in favour of making it minimal, maybe something like "No active effort to get rid of older works, but if they're brought to PD for other reasons they're fair game". The design of a grandfather clause for this is a whole separate discussion, and an intelligent one requires analysis of existing pages that would be affected by it. It is always preferable to migrate pages to a modern standard, so a grandfather clause is by definition a second choice option.{{parabr}}Now, to the meat of the matter: the exceptions…{{parabr}}We have a clear policy to start from: no excerpts. Works should either be complete as published, or they should not be in mainspace. But quite apart from the historical practices that modify this (which are somewhat subjective and inconsistent, so I'll ignore them for now), there are some fairly obvious cases that suggest a need for more nuance than a simple bright-line rule alone provides. The major ones that come to mind are: 1) massive never-completed projects like EB1911 or the New York Times (EB because it's ''big''; NYT because new PD issues are added every year); 2) compilations or collections of stand-alone works with plausible claim to independent notability.{{parabr}}For encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like things, we have to accept some subsets due to sheer scale of work. But when that is the grounds for exception, there needs to be some minimum level of completion. I'm not sure I can come up with a specific number of pages/entries or percentage, but it needs to be more than just a single entry (and, obviously, only complete entries). For this kind of exception to apply, I think it needs to be a requirement that the framing structure for it is complete: that is, the mainspace page should give a complete overview of the relevant work even if most of it is redlinks. That includes title pages and other prolegomena when relevant. For a periodical like the NYT, that means complete lists of issues with dates and other such relevant information (e,g. name changes etc.). For ''preference'', these kinds of things should be in Portal: namespace or on a WikiProject page until actually complete, but that will not always be practical (EB1911 and NYT are examples of this). Mainspace or Portal:-space should ''never'' contain external links (i.e. to scans) or links to Index: or Page: space (except the implied link of transclusion and the "Source" tab in the MW UI provided by ProofreadPage).{{parabr}}For exception claimed under independent notability there are a couple of distinct variants.{{parabr}}Newspaper or magazine articles need to have a certain level of substance in addition to a specific identifiable byline (possibly anonymous or pseudonymous, and possibly identified after the fact by some other source, such as the [[w:Letters of Junius|Letters of Junius]]) in order to qualify. It is not enough to ipso facto ''be'' a newspaper article, a magazine article, a poem, or an encyclopedia entry. On the one hand we have things like dictionaries and thesauri, where an entry could be as little as two words. Or a one-sentence notice without byline in a newspaper. Or two rhymed lines (technically a poem) within a 1000-page scholarly monograph.{{parabr}}To merit this exception it should be reasonable to argue that the "work" in question should exist as a stand-alone mainspace page (not that we generally want that; but as a test for this exception, it should be reasonable to make such an argument). This would clearly apply to moderately long entries in the EB1911 written by a known author that has their own Wikipedia article. It would apply to short stories or novella-length serialisations in literary magazines by authors that have later become famous (or "are still …"). It would apply to various longer-form journalistic material from identifiable journalists (again, rule of thumb is notable enough for enWP article), including things in magazines that have similar properties. For most periodicals the most relevant atomic (indivisable) part is the ''issue'' not the ''entry'' or ''article'', but with some commonsense exceptions.{{parabr}}It would, generally, not apply to things that are works by a single author, like a scholarly monograph that just happens to be arranged in "entries" rather than chapters. It would not apply to things that are essentially lists or tables of data. It would not apply to short entries in something encyclopedia-like or entries that are not by an identifiable author. The OED for example, iirc, is a collective work where entries are by multiple not individually identifiable authors (and each entry is mostly very short too); only the overall editor is usually cited.{{parabr}}For works claiming this exception too the framing structure should be complete, even if most of it are redlinks. The same general rules about Portal:/WikiProject and no external or Index:-space links apply. An exception would be for periodicals where new issues enter the public domain every year; and we should generally avoid including even redlinks for the non-PD issues here (but may allow them in a WikiProject page). For non-periodical works in multiple volumes where some volumes were published after the PD cutoff, including listings for the non-PD volumes (but not links to scans; those are a copyvio issue) is ok.{{parabr}}Poems, short stories, and novellas are a special class of works here. A ''lot'' of these were first published in a magazine (possibly serialized), and a lot of them exist as multiple editions in substantially the same form. Some exist in multiple versions. These should all primarily exist the same way as chapters as part of their various containing works; but there are some cases where we might want to have, for example, a series of connected pages of the poems of [[Template:Emily Dickinson Index|Emily Dickinson]]. I am significantly ambivalent about this practice, as it amounts to making our own "edition" or "collection" of her poems (in violation of several of our other policies), but I acknowledge that it is an established practice and it is something that has definite value to our readers. It may be that it is actually a practice that should be governed by its own dedicated policy rather be attempted to be handled within these other general policies.{{parabr}}For the sake of example; applying this to the works Inductiveload listed at the start of this thread would shake out something like this:{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Auction Prices of Books]]'''''—This work appears to have no sensible subdivisions and is in any case by a single author. I see no obvious reason to grant this work an exception, except under ''sheer volume of work'' and even there I would want to see both a substantial proportion completed ''and'' some kind of ongoing effort towards completion (no particular time frame, but definitely not infinite and definitely not as an effectively abandoned project). In a deletion discussion I would very likely vote to delete the mainspace pages here (but, as nearly always, to keep the Index: and Page: namespace artifacts). I don't see this as a reasonable candidate for a Portal:, nor really a good fit for a WikiProject (though I probably wouldn't object to a WikiProject if someone really wanted one).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Central Law Journal/Volume 1]]'''''—A single volume is too little, so I would want to see a complete structure for the entire ''Central Law Journal'', with level of detail for each volume similar to the one existing volume. Each article in the journal can be individually considered for a stand-alone work exception; but for the collection I would want to see ''at minimum'' a full issue finished to justify having the mainspace structure, and ''preferably'' multiple issues (in a deletion discussion I might insist on multiple issues). Index: and Page:-space artefacts can, of course, stay. A Portal: might make sense for selections from the journal, of articles that meet the standalone work exception. A WikiProject to coordinate work and track links to scans etc. might be a decent fit here, if someone wanted that. As it currently stands I would probably vote delete for the mainspace artefacts (with option to move whatever content has reuse value to a non-mainspace page for preservation; and undeleting if someone wants to work on something is a low bar).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]]'''''—The top level mainspace page has near-zero value, existing only to link to the single transcribed entry. For a credible claim to exception to exist it would need to be a complete framework for the work as a whole, and significantly more than a single entry must be complete. I would probably also want to see ongoing work, unless a ''substantial'' percentage of the entries were complete. The single finished entry is eligible to claim a standalone work exception, but I think it probably would not meet my bar for that (I might be wrong; and the rest of the community might judge it differently). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all the mainspace artifacts here (as always keeping Index:/Page: stuff) but with a definite possibility that I might be persuaded on the one completed entry (an absolute requirement for convincing me would be to scan-back it: as a separate issue, my tolerance for grandfathering of non-scan-backed works is small, and effectively zero for new/non-grandfathered works).{{parabr}}{{em}}• '''''[[Bradshaw's Monthly Railway Guide]]'''''—Would need a full framework and a number of individual issues finished to merit a mainspace page. I see no credible subdivisions for a standalone work exception, but might be persuaded otherwise if, say, one of the train tables was used as a (reliable primary) source in a Wikipedia article (implying some sort of notability beyond just being raw data). In a deletion discussion I would probably vote to delete all mainspace artifacts here. If anyone made the argument, I would entertain the notion that there is value in treating train tables like poems, and hosting a series of train tables like we do Dickinson's poems; but that would require a substantial number of them completed.{{parabr}}For everything above my stance is nuanced by a willingness to accept temporary exceptions for things that are actively being worked: ''active'' being operative, but with no particular deadline to complete the work. We have differing amounts of time available, and some works are so labour-intensive or tedious to do, that my person threshold for "active" is a pretty low bar to clear. If it's months and years between every time you dip in and do a bit I might start to get antsy, but days or weeks probably won't faze me. And that the projected time to completion is very long at that pace is not particularly a problem so long as it is not ''infinite''. Within those parameters I would always tend to err on the side of letting contributors just get on with it in peace, regardless of any of the policy-like rules sketched above.{{parabr}}I also want to emphasise that I think this is a very difficult issue to deal with. There are a lot of competing concerns, and a lot of grey areas that will likely take individual discussions to resolve. My balance point on this issue is partly formed by a broader concern about our overall quality (we have ''waay'' too many works of plain sub-par quality, and too many not up to modern standards) and a hope that by preventing the creation of these kinds of works (rather than deleting them after creation) we will be able to retain the good and desirable exceptions without dragging down quality, and without the traumatic and stressful events that deletions and proposed deletion discussions are.{{parabr}}And for that very reason I am grateful this issue was brought up here for discussion, and I hope we can end up with some ''clear'' guidance, possibly in the form of a policy page, going forward. And in any case, since it ''will'' create de facto policy, this is a discussion that needs to stay open for a good long while (there are several community members that have not yet commented whose opinion I would wish to hear before closing this), and depending on how well we manage to structure the consensus, may also require a formal vote (up in the [[#Proposals]] section). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:03, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *{{oppose}}. It is becoming clear that a policy on incomplete works in the mainspace is going to place enormous pressure on individual editors. I think it would be more effective to start a wikiproject devoted to scan-backing works that lack scans and so on. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 12:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ** {{re|James500}} FYI, this thread was made in order to provide an ''exception'' to the current policy of "no excerpts". A literal reading of the [[WS:WWI#Excerpts|policy as it stands]] has a plausible chance of coming down delete on the mainspace pages over at WS:PD. This thread is a chance to come up with a better way to support such partial collective works. That we have several substantially incomplete and abandoned collective works lolling around in mainspace is actually the result of ''laxity'' in respect to stated policy (not to say I think it's a bad thing). The deletion proposals, whatever you may think of them, are actually not in contradiction to policy. That said, as always, there is scope to adjust policy. Which is what this is. ** Now, in terms of a WikiProject to scan back works, I think that is a good idea. See [[#Re-purpose_WikiProject_OCR_to_WikiProject_Scans]] above, which proposed to reboot Wikiproject OCR as a scan-backing Wikiproject. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***The policy says "When an entire work is available as a djvu file on commons and an Index page is created here, works are considered in process not excerpts." A literal reading of that policy is that no scan-backed work is an excerpt (it is expected to be completed eventually). Further the policy refers to "Random or selected sections of a larger work". A literal reading of that expression is that it does not include lists of scans, or auxilliary content tables, as they are not "sections" (they are not part of the work), and that not every incomplete portion of a work is either "random or selected" (which would not include starting from the beginning and getting as far as you can, with intent to finish later). I could probably argue that an encyclopedia article or periodical article is a complete work. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 15:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * Nice wall of text, [[User:Xover|Xover]] (and I say that with great respect!) -- it generally makes sense and sounds good to me. As another hopefully illustrative example, take [[The Works of Voltaire]], which I've been digging thru lately. I think this would very much satisfy your criteria as a large work, with sufficient scaffolding to justify the mainspace pages that exist for it. I would love to hear others thoughts on that. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 16:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *:{{re|JesseW}} Yeah, apologies for the length. Brevity is just not my strong suit.{{parabr}}''The Works of Voltaire'' probably qualifies on sheer scale of work, yes. I don't think the current wikipage at [[The Works of Voltaire]] is quite it though: as it currently stands it is more WikiProject than something that should sit in mainspace (its contents are for Wikisource contributors, to organise our effort, not our readers, who want to read finished transcriptions). It also mixes a work page with a versions page in a confusing way. So I would probably say… Move the current page to [[Wikisource:WikiProject Voltaire]]; create a new [[The Works of Voltaire]] as a pure versions page, linking to…; [[The Works of Voltaire (1906)]], that is set up as a work page with the cover and title (and other relevant front matter) of the first volume, and an AuxTOC (and possibly also the {{tlx|Works of Voltaire}} volume navigation template). I don't know how tightly coupled the volumes of this edition are (does the first volume have a common ToC or index of works for all the volumes?), so some flexibility on format may be needed to make sense. But as a base rule of thumb it should start from a regular works page and deviate only as needed to accommodate this work (mainly the size is different).{{parabr}}In any case… With a volume or two completed (they're only ~350 pages each) I'd be perfectly happy having something like that sitting around. With less then that I'd possibly be a bit more iffy, but it's hard to put any kind of hard limit on that. And with somebody actively working on it I'd be in no hurry whatsoever regardless of current level of completion.{{parabr}}PS. I'm pretty sure a large proportion of the contents of these volumes are works that would qualify under "standalone works" that could exist independently in mainspace, regardless of what's done with the [[The Works of Voltaire]] page. Even his individual poems and essays can presumably make a credible claim here (because it's Voltaire; less famous authors would have a higher bar). Better as part of the edition, but also acceptable on their own. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC) *: {{re|JesseW}} I personally take no issue with this page's existence (actually I think it's a nice work and good way to allow an important author's works to be slotted in piece-by-piece. I have some general comments which overlap with this thread (written before Xover's reply, so pardon overlap): :** First off, I differ with Xover in terms of the scan links: I think they're better than nothing, and I don't see much value in duplicating the volume list onto an auxiliary page just to add scan links. However, I can sympathise with the sentiment that our mainspace shouldn't direct users off-wiki (or at least off-WMF). But if we don't have the scans, and that's what the user wants, they're leaving anyway. Real answer: import moar scans! :** No scan links are necessary where the volume exists in mainspace and is scan-backed (e.g. v3) :** Ext scan links should only be used when there is no Index page or imported scan. Use {{tl|small scan link}} or {{tl|Commons link}} when possible (e.g. v2) :** The first volume list could probably be in an AuxTOC to mark it out as WS-generated content. :** The "Other editions" section belongs on an auxiliary namespace page (Talk, Portal or Wikisource). I suggest the Talk page is best in this case. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) * {{re|Xover}} I am in agreement with the majority of what you say. Particularly, I think a framework around any collective work (be it a single-volume biographical dictionary or a 400-issue literary review spanning 80 years) is ''the'' critical prerequisite, plus at least some scans, the more the merrier. Where I think I differ: ** I am inclined to be a bit more relaxed in terms of how much of a work we need. As long as a single article exists, it's not "trivial" (e.g. only a short advert or some incidental text like a "note to correspondents", as opposed to an actual article), it's well-formatted and scan-backed, and a complete framework exists, including front matter and a TOC, such that's it is easy for anyone to slot in new pieces, I'd be fairly happy. Lots of periodicals have all sort of tricky bits like tables of stocks or weather tables and writing into policy that those must be proofread in order to get the "real" articles into mainspace would be a chilling effect, in my opinion. If you allowed an exception, it would be verbose and tricky to capture the spirit without saying "unless, like, it's totally, like, hard, man". ** I am not dead against scan links in the mainspace at the top level, when such a top-level page exists. See my comments on ''Voltaire'' above. I am against them where they could sensibly be on an Author page and they are the only mainspace content. ** I am ambivalent on the presence of, e.g., disjointed train timetables. It's not my thing to have a smattering of random timetables, but as long as they're individually presented nicely, it's not too offensive to my sensibilities. I might question the sanity of someone who loves doing tables that much, but whatever floats the boats! Also, I think that this might circle back to "good for export" - a mark which certainly would require completed issues or volumes. If you want to get that box ticked, you have to do it all. ** Re the "notability" aspect of individual articles, I'm not really bothered by that, as I don't think we'll see a flood of total dross because few people really want to take the time to transcribe 1867 articles about cats in a tree from the Nowhere, Arizona Daily Reporter, and, actually I think some of the "dross" can be quite interesting in a slice-of-life kind of a way (always assuming well-formed and scan-backed). And the real dross is usually so bad (no scans, raw OCR, etc) that it can be dealt with outside of this topic. I think part of the value of WS is the tiny, weird and wonderful, not just in blockbusters like War and Peace and Pultizers. I think I might like to see more of our articles strung together thematically via Portals, but that's another day's issue. [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:35, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ***{{re|Inductiveload}} We appear to be mostly in agreement. But… instead of me dropping another wall of text on the remaining points of disagreement, maybe that means we're in a position to try to hash out a draft guidance / policy type page with the rough framework? Then we could go at the remaining issues point by point. Because I think I'm in with a decent chance to persuade you to my point of view on at least some of them, but this thread is fast getting unwieldy (mostly my fault). It would also probably be easier for the community to relate to now, and ''much'' easier to lean on in the future. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 18:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC) **** {{re|Xover}} If there are no more comments forthcoming after a couple of days, I think that makes sense.

[[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<small>[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</small> 17:41, 7 July 2020 (UTC) <s>The quantity of text here has grown far faster than my ability to absorb it, so rather than continue to put it off, here's my position: I don't see any problem with transcriptions that are scan-backed, even if the transcription only covers a small fraction of the entire scan. If Sally chooses (say) to transcribe a favorite story, that happened to be published in an issue of ''Harper's'' back in the 1890s, and goes to the trouble of uploading the full issue, but only creates pages for the one story that interests her, I think that's great. It doesn't matter to me whether she intends to work on the other pages or not. If it's not scan-backed, but it's fairly high quality, I am personally willing to do some work trying to locate a scan and match it up to the text; I'd rather we take that approach, than deletion, though of course deletion is the better option in some cases where the scan is very hard to come by.</s> <s>If all this has been said above, or if I've misunderstood the topic, my apologies. Please take this comment or leave it, as appropriate. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)</s> {{smaller block|Apologies, I see I had missed the point.}} I disagree with {{u|Xover}}'s statement that a top-level page for a publication, with a link only to a single article within the publication, has "near-zero value." Such a page can serve an important function linking content together in ways that help the reader (and search engines) find the content they're looking for, or understand the context around it. For instance, [[A Critical Dictionary of English Literature]] is linked from the relevant Wikidata entry. The banner on the Wikisource page clearly tells a Wikisource reader that they won't find a full transcription here; and with a simple edit, it could link to a full scan on another site, or (with perhaps a little more effort) even transcription links here on Wikisource. This page has been here since 2010; we don't have any way of knowing what links might have been created elsewhere in the intervening decade. (I do think that ''new'' pages like this should not be created without a scan at Commons to be linked to.) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 02:12, 8 July 2020 (UTC) : I'm really bad with walls of text, so I have only read a tiny portion of the above discussion. But I want to mention a couple of things that I think are worth considering in this discussion. :* Most of the time, a mainspace "work" that is only a table of contents, but which has none of the actual content, and is not actively being worked on, can be (and should be) deleted as [[WS:CSD|No meaningful content or history]] under our deletion policy. :* A mainspace work that has only a ''little bit'' of content, but that content is a work unto itself within the scope of Wikisourse, ''should be kept''. Most periodicals are like this. For an example, see the [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology]] which only has [[Journal of English and Germanic Philology/Volume 18/The Date, Authors, and Contents of A Handfull of Pleasant Delights|one hosted article]], but that hosted article is scan-backed and firmly within scope. :* On some occasions, empty mainspace works do have value. I ended up creating the page [[The Roman Breviary]], depsite containing no actual content, mostly because there are a [[Special:WhatLinksHere/The_Roman_Breviary|''lot'' of works that link to it]], using many different titles, and if someone uploaded a copy of the work under one title then many of the links would remain red because they point to different titles of the work. This could be easily solved by creating redirects to a simple placeholder page, so I did. I tried to make the placeholder page as useful as a placeholder page can be, as it contains useful information about the history and authorship of the work, and links to the Index pages where the transcription will take place. Anyway those are my 2 cents, sorry if they are redundant —[[User:Beleg Tâl|Beleg Tâl]] ([[User talk:Beleg Tâl|talk]]) 00:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC) === Proposal === Since there has been no extra input for a month, and not wanting this section to get archived without at least attempting a proposal, I have started a proposal [[#Collective work inclusion criteria]] above.

Most pages in the main namespace are not articles, and most mainspace entities consist of multiple pages which together have one Wikidata item. (2) How will the new table of content affect the layout of works on Wikisource that require placing sidenotes in the margins, or rely on other multi-page formatting? (3) Also, will the changes make it possible to find links to a redirect, which used to be possible? Currently, such searches are suppressed, and the supposed way to do such a search does not function. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 01:33, 24 June 2022 (UTC) ::Hello @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]], thanks for this comment. ::# Some details may be Wikipedia-centric despite of our general approach - sorry for that.

(a) When we upload a DjVu file, for example, it applies to a multi=page work that does not yet exist here, and not to some existing page. And nearly all files should instead be uploaded to Commons; those that are loaded here are either specific to something in the Page namespace or else apply to ''all'' the pages of a work. Nothing is ever uploaded for something in the Main namespace. (b) Likewise, Wikidata items usually apply to whole ''groups'' of pages and their ''subpages'', and not just to one page. :::# An example of a Page namespace item with Sidenotes is [[:Page:The Solar System - Six Lectures - Lowell.djvu/20]] and it is transcluded to [[The Solar System/Chapter 1]] (activate Layout 1 or Layout 2 from the margin to put the Sidenotes into the side; or use default Layout 1 to be them "embedded" in the text. It is unlikely that a ToC will be used in the Main namespace, but there is potential for unforeseen interactions in various namespaces with any new change that alters page layout. This is also true for works that apply a '''Layout''', such as at [[Coriolanus (1924) Yale/Text/Act III]], where the margins are changed by the applied layout. The ToC appears most often on Wikisource in the '''Author''' namespace and the '''Portal''' namespace. Have these been checked? Such as, against [[Portal:Ancient Greek drama]]; [[Portal:Ancient poetry]]; [[Author:Aristophanes]]; and [[Author:Henry David Thoreau]], to be sure the new ToC interacts appropriately in those namespaces with Wikisource namespace headers? The headers should be full-page width along with the notes displayed below them. The content of a page in the Portal namespace may be full width in content boxes, or may be sections of bulleted lists. And I note that Page Layout '''is not listed in either sub-menu''' for the change. Where will it appear? :::# The method for enabling the Search is supposed to be toggable in the Preferences, but the toggle makes no difference. I do not know enough to determine why it isn't working, but it makes page moves a nightmare here, since when a work with multiple chapters gets moved, links to the various chapters need to be checked, including redirects to those targets. It used to be that redirects automatically showed up in searching, but they do not anymore. :::# I did not notice before that there is a plan to move the page-specific Tools to the right-hand side of the page. This will be problematic for Wikisource as a whole. Will users be able to opt out of this placement, or can specific projects opt to '''not''' have an additional menu on the right side of the page? For Wikisource, this will be distracting and horizontally compress works, which is a '''huge''' problem for poetry, plays, and other kinds of works that need horizontal space for formatting. :::# Moving the Page title above the Tools is also problematic for Wikisource.

For example the TOC of this Scriptorium page is an absolute mess (after unwrapping the headings) in the proposed layout. 3) The TOC in the sidebar is also probably the reason, why the sidebar is wider (and the space for the text narower) than in the 2010 Vector layout, which is also quite unfortunate, as it can make problems to Wikisource pages containing tables, columns etc. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 21:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC) == Tech News: 2022-26 == <section begin="technews-2022-W26"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

This is one reason why hard line breaks should generally be removed from running prose (it works fine most of the time, but sometimes creates intractable problems) and why block-based templates should always have a newline after its opening tag and before its closing tag. It's the only way to get predictable behaviour. There's no lint error because the parser has silently "corrected" it.{{pbr}}And, yes, p-wrapping should be ripped out of the codebase and killed with fire, but from the WMF/developer perspective it costs too much to do, will break too many things, and will give too little benefit to be worth it.

But that operation also catches maintenance templates (typically implemented using {{tl|ambox}}/{{tl|ombox}}) that we do ''not'' want to be subject to dynamic layouts. So the lines you point to tries to hoist those out of the dynamic layouts container and place them in a suitable place in the DOM. It's currently a bit buggy here on enWS so I wouldn't follow our code too religiously. In fact, you may want to try doing without that code and then add back in a modified version if and as needed.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet.

Subst:ing templates is not something you should be doing, and certainly not recommending others do, unless the template is specifically designed for being subst:ed. It solves nothing—at best it hides a symptom—leaving the underlying problem in place and creating myriad new ones. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan.Kamenicek]]: The limit has not changed recently, and is unlikely to change any time soon (another in a long line of requests for this was declined just last week), because the limit is there for good technical reasons; mostly because raising it would cause performance problems. The "post-include expand size" is one of several limits built into MediaWiki that are designed to keep the sites from falling over when people do dumb things. One can quibble over the exact size of this limit (for instance, the limit is currently in ''bytes'' and heWS uses almost exclusively multi-byte ''characters'', so they effectively get ''half'' the limit enWS gets).{{pbr}}But the underlying problem here is actually the TOC templates, which are all various degrees of broken. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} is the very worst of the bunch, but all of them have severe problems. For the (really rather shocking) illustration, see [[Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help/Archives/2022#Orley_Farm_Contents+Illustrations_Lists|this thread]].{{pbr}}For this reason I really very strongly recommend everyone use plain table wikimarkup (combined with {{tl|ts}} where needed) for tables of contents. Yes, it is less convenient for some things (but more convenient for others), and, yes, it is a bit harder to learn; but it also gives much better control, is much easier to debug, and it completely avoids the problems with the TOC templates. It'd take a pretty epically massive table of contents to hit any of the built-in MediaWiki limits that way, at which point we're probably close to the point where splitting it up would be necessary for the reader in any case. You ''can'' hit the limits with plain tables and table styles as well, but that's typically when the tables are used in very long chapters or appendices with a lot of long tables with complicated formatting (and for these we now have a possible workaround in per-Index stylesheets).{{pbr}}For shorter tables of contents (which is the majority after all) you can get away with using the templates with no ''visible'' problems (all the bloat and inefficiency is still there, it's just not visible unless you go digging at a technical level), so for these cases I've given up on nagging on people. But for anything a bit longer the bloat is just too much. {{tl|Dotted TOC page listing}} in particular should ''never'' be used, and if I thought I'd get the community in general to go along I'd have proposed it for deletion a long time ago (I'm almost certain the community won't agree, which is why I'm here waving that flag instead of at [[WS:PD]]). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:22, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::Some of the complexity will in time become obselete anyway... There's a proposal for the next 'level' of CSS for table to support the concept of dot leaders... which when supported in browsers should make adding the dots in TOC entries 1 line of CSS style, as opposed to the complex convolution used currently. ::[[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 11:53, 9 July 2022 (UTC) == Deletion of redirects == Hi Wikisource folks. An outside observation from English Wiktionary: I have done an audit of broken links from English Wiktionary to English Wikisource. You can see the list [[wikt:User:This, that and the other/broken interwiki links/2022-07-01/wikisource|here]]. As you can see, a significant number of the links were once valid but have since been broken by page moves on this wiki. In particular, chapters of ''[[Moby-Dick/Chapter 1|Moby-Dick]]'' and ''[[Sons and Lovers/Chapter I|Sons and Lovers]]'' as well as the ''[[Song of Everlasting Regret]]'' appear all throughout the list. It seems that this situation has arisen because of eager deletion of redirects on this project. The administrators who deleted those redirects evidently did not consider the impact this would have on other websites (not just wikis) which link to Wikisource texts. Keeping long-standing URLs functional is a courteous thing for a website to do, especially one such as Wikisource where the content is very stable and drastic changes would not be expected. It's reasonably easy for us on Wiktionary to fix these broken links because of our use of templates, but the same can't be said for everybody who links to this site. I am curious to understand Wikisource's policy on redirects, how it has come about, and whether there is appetite for keeping certain long-standing redirects even if current naming schemes are not followed. [[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] ([[User talk:This, that and the other|talk]]) 14:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]] does wiktionary have much going on with wikidata yet? Here {{tl|wdl}} can be used and will prevent this kind of problem from enthusiastic redirect deleters and other problems of inter-wiki linking, as it grabs the current link.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 15:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:This, that and the other|This, that and the other]]: Well, admittedly, we are sometimes a bit too aggressive in pruning top-level redirects that are non-standard (but might be targeted from another wiki). But mainly the short answer is that page moves and deletions happen and we need to use other mechanisms to keep the dead links down (maybe we should look at bot-updating any link whose target has turned into a soft redirect?). For example, as RK says above, adopting linking through Wikidata would catch page moves, and might make it easier to detect page deletions. And some discipline in (i.e. policy for) what to link ''to'': in your list I find links to the Page: namespace here (which is an internal working area you generally shouldn't link to), links to subpages in mainspace (subpages have zero stability guarantees and don't get redirects on page moves), links to one specific edition of a work when it is likely the intent is to link to the work, and so forth.{{pbr}}And I see another significant subset of the pages in your list are pages created before standards for things like page names were set here, and as such have seen a larger than average amount of attrition due to cleanup and standardisation. As a general rule of thumb, top-level pages for ''works'' (that is, versions pages) and specific editions do not tend to change much here (when they're done they're done). At worst an edition gets moved to make way for a versions page, but then the old page name still gets you a list of editions of the work. In other words, I think a lot of the current dead links are the inevitable consequence of cleaning up old messes (other projects, like enWP, have done this years ago and are now much more stable); and a lot of the rest can be ameliorated (not eliminated) by more disciplined linking.{{pbr}}But I think a better question to address is how we can enable "deep linking" (for lack of a better term). For parts of works that are themselves works (poems, short stories, some, but not all, newspaper and magazine articles, etc.; stuff that's usually published in some form of collection) we can usually create top-level redirects to the subpage (and you should link to the redirect instead of the subpage). But for, say, a chapter of a novel our standard is to ''not'' have redirects. At the same time, Wiktionary and Wikipedia (e.g.) will often want to link to such a sub-part of the work. I also expect both to have a need to link directly to a specific sentence or position (think "To be or not to be"). We currently have no facility to enable this. And both these things are sometimes needed for internal linking on enWS as well, so it's not just our sister projects that need this. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:01, 9 July 2022 (UTC) ::One of problems I can see is the fact that when we move a work we can check what links there only from Wikisource, we cannot check what links there from other Wikiprojects. If we could, it would help to prevent such things from happening very much. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 07:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :::as a part of the process of deleting redirects, should we include a "what links here check" and if not fixing right away, then adding to a list for linking at the other wiki? --<span style="font-family:Papyrus;">[[User:Slowking4|Slowking4]]</span> 亞 <span style="font-family:UnifrakturMaguntia">[[User_talk:Slowking4|Farmbrough's revenge]]</span> 18:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) ::This sort of thing has even happened here with intrawiki links: see [[Special:PermaLink/11316706|Page:Hero and Leander - Marlowe and Chapman (1821).pdf/36]] and [[Special:PermaLink/9216169|The Passionate Shepherd to His Love]], both of which were broken because the page to which they both linked ([[Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5]]) was moved to [[The Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics/Book 1/Poem 5|''The'' Golden Treasury, etc.]] A redirect was left for the root page in mainspace, but not for all the subpages.{{pbr}}The former of the two broken pages also illustrates the use of {{tl|anchor}}, which is one way—albeit unwieldy—to link to a specific passage in a text. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 20:24, 10 July 2022 (UTC) :: Wiktionary wants to cite a use of a word. Thus Wiktionarians don't want to cite a generic form of the work, or link to the top level; they want to link a page that has the word in question on it in a specifically dateable context. It doesn't strike me as that rare; while there are times you want to link to a generic version, there's times you want to talk about Homer's use of rosy-fingered dawn ("as soon as early rosy-fingered Dawn appeared, then they set sail for the wide camp of the Achaeans") and link not to the Iliad, but the Iliad, book 1, and a translation that faithfully translates that (not Alexander Pope's! apparently many students over the years have been confused by that).--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 04:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC) :::Thanks all for your input.

Currently, they are not among the [[Wikisource:Deletion policy#Speedy deletion]] criteria, but they are repeatedly proposed for speedy deletion. -- [[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 09:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC) :Only speedy-able if a sourced version of the same text is hosted, per G4. There are no other valid criteria for speedy deletion of such. Summary deletion of so-called "second-hand" transcriptions without discussion is against the open nature of us as a library that anyone can bring works to. We can encourage people to bring them in a scan-backed form, but at present we don't have a policy that restricts to on-site scan-backing. If we speedy delete a new-comer's contributions we lose the new-comer. Also, the definition of "second-hand" seems quite arbitrary. Why aren't the various Executive Orders treated as second-hand? They are after all, simply brought over from the White House websites with minimal wikification. Yet, I've never seen them proposed for deletion on this ground.

I don't think that there is any evidence that many of these contributions stay on enWS. Most of them come, copy-and-paste a text (often without formatting), and then leave. It's an extremely fast process for them. Then, other enWS contributors then have to spend time on trying to format properly. PG are especially problematic because they silently correct errata. The entire process is just a time drain. As for the Executive Orders, I would also say that they should be speedied. They are published in the Federal Register and should be scan-backed from there.

That is for ''content'' that is out of scope. The content of these works are in scope (on the whole), it's just the source that is seen as problematic by those tagging for speedy deletion. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 06:44, 21 July 2022 (UTC) :Second-hand transcriptions are out of scope for enWS, and any ''newly added'' second-hand transcriptions are speediable as such (that is, under CSD G5, which is the criterion for all content that does not meet [[WS:WWI]]). But the definition of it is inherently a grandfather clause in that it says enWS {{tqi|''no longer'' accepts any ''new'' … second-hand transcriptions of any sort|q=y}} (my emphasis). So for anyone pasting in a new Gutenberg text today you can speedy it (presumably while explaining the issue to the contributor on their talk page); but for any similar text that was added in 2021 or earlier it needs to go through a normal deletion discussion. It is also not a given that older second-hand transcriptions will be deleted at [[WS:PD]]: the policy only implicitly marks these as undesirable, so absent community consensus to delete the status quo will obtain. There's no strong presumed default "delete" outcome for these. I personally think there ''should'' be, but that's not what the policy currently is. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC) ::While I agree that such works should not have a place at WS, I am hesitant about their speediness under current deletion policy. I agree with Beeswaxcandle that G5 with its bracketed part "''(such as advertisements or book descriptions without text)''" does not seem to give way to general speedying of all beyond-scope texts. So if we agreed that it does not apply only to completely blatant cases, we should either make the criterion more general by removing the brackets, or we should explicitely add some less blatant examples, e. g. the second-hand transcriptions.{{pbr}}However, after this discussion and after several current similar nominations at [[WS:Proposed deletions]], it seems to me that listing such cases there is useful, as some contributors sometimes save such works by scanbacking them, which would not be happening if they were speedied. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 12:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::The bracketed stuff are informative examples to illustrate; the criterion itself is {{tqi|'''Beyond scope''': The content … lies outside the scope of Wikisource|q=y}} (i.e. it fails to meet [[WS:WWI]]), and the limiting clause is {{tqi|… The content '''clearly''' lies outside the scope …|q=y}}. The point there is that if something is borderline or there's a significant possibility of mistake the admin shouldn't unilaterally decide (speedy) and it should go to WS:PD instead for community discussion. The latter is usually exemplified by someone pasting ''Harry Potter'' here—which is clearly a copyvio—versus someone proofreading a 1964 book that makes a superficially plausible claim of being {{tl|PD-US-no renewal}}. The latter could still be a copyvio, but a single admin shouldn't decide that based solely on misbelieving the contributor's assertion: it should go to WS:PD where the community can examine it and possibly dig up the evidence (either way) to determine its actual copyright status. ''Harry Potter'', obviously, should be speedied on sight (and preferably before Wizarding World Digital sends its DMCA-wielding Nazgûl after us).{{pbr}}That being said, I absolutely agree our policies are in dire need of tightening and should be written with much greater clarity. Navigating them now are an exercise in frustration for both general contributors and admins trying to apply them. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 14:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == Copyright status of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'' (1962) == I have done some searching in the copyright.gov database and come up empty for a renewal of the [https://archive.org/details/menshipssea0000unse first edition of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea''] by Alan Villiers, published in 1962 by the National Geographic Society. As far as I can tell it should therefore have lapsed into the public domain (excepting, possibly, licensed photographs and illustrations within it). However, seeing as other works by Villiers have had their copyrights renewed (e.g., the very similarly named ''Of Ships and Men'', also published in 1962), I would like to know the opinion of a more experienced user in judging the copyright status of this work, as I may have missed something important.{{pbr}}On a related note, is there a proper area for discussion about the copyright statuses of works not yet added to WS? I would have put this on [[WS:Copyright discussions]], but that seems to be more about works already on WS than about ones offsite. [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 04:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC) : Do you have the book? If you look at the actual book, you may see a list of copyright notices from other works. With or without them, I'm still concerned that there may be a number of other works that it's copying from.--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 20:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC) ::{{ping|Prosfilaes|Xover}} I'm reasonably confident that at least the text content was written specifically for this book, not copied from another source. I have a copy of the 1973 edition, which explicitly states: "Text by Alan Villiers / with a foreword by Melville Bell Grosvenor / and additional chapters by [several other authors]". The foreword to this edition seems to indicate that the book was written from scratch: "In commissioning him [Villiers] as chief author of ''Men, Ships, and the Sea'', the Society chose the greatest sea writer of our time."{{pbr}}There are, however, a proudly proclaimed "423 illustrations, 294 in full color" in my copy. Most of these are undoubtedly still under copyright (although a few are obviously in the public domain, and some were commissioned specifically for the book). That's slightly less than one illustration per page. I suppose I could redact all the offending images if I wanted to, but it's probably not fruitful enough to spend a great deal of time with. (If I were to do so&mdash;assuming all the text content is PD&mdash;would it then be suitable to host here?) In any case, thanks to both of you for the help and advice. <code>:)</code> [[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]] ([[User talk:Shells-shells|talk]]) 17:12, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:Shells-shells|Shells-shells]]: You're right that [[WS:CV]] is more a workflow for discussing the copyright status of texts already on enWS. But you can certainly raise other copyright issues, such as the one in this thread, there too. It's more a question of what's the best venue for your needs: [[WS:CV]] is watched by only a small subset of the community (unfortunately) and is often months and years backlogged (because of insufficient community participation) so as a practical matter you may prefer to post here. On the flip side, for complicated copyright issues WS:CV may be better because the copyright wonks will see it there, and it may get you a more definitive answer (or at least guard against wholly incorrect answers).{{pbr}}Short version: feel free to post such queries either place.{{pbr}}PS. I agree with Prosfilaes: even if the copyright on ''this'' work was not renewed, it may contain independently copyrighted works that for our purposes has the same effect as if the whole was in copyright. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 06:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC) == ToC links == I like to style ToC's with the text linking to the transcoded page (unconditionally), and the page number linking to the Page namespace (when viewed from the Page or Index namespace), and to the transcoded page when the ToC is transcluded. This is *mostly* satisfied by {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} but it seems to be partially broken; does anyone know of a better choice, or how to fix it? The bug I've observed is that, for multi-level subpages, e.g. [[The_Works_of_Voltaire/Volume_36]], the page number links are broken (they assume a single level, e.g. they link to [[The Works of Voltaire/The Lisbon Earthquake]] but the actual page is [[The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36/The Lisbon Earthquake]]). I think there may be other bugs, too. But it's really nice to have working links both to the transcluded pages and the Page namespace from the Index page, on the actual ToC, so I'd love to get this fixed. Suggestions? [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 03:50, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :Seems to me that this behaviour is caused by the part <code>#invoke:Filter|CleanParentDirectories</code> in the code of {{Template|TOC link}}. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 11:57, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :: Yeah, but I'm not sure what would break if I took that out.

[[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 14:03, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::I took a look, and it looks like {{tl|TOC link}} is broken by design: it has a hard assumption that there is never more than one level of subpage. Unfortunately, people have apparently depended on the broken behaviour for the last decade or so, so fixing it will require going through all extant uses and fixing the broken ones. I'm not sure that's a task that can be reasonably automated either (it'd need a lot of custom coding, not just application of existing tools), so there's no quick fixes here. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 18:34, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::: Cool, that makes creating a {{tl|TOC link multilevel}} much more appealing. I'll see what I can do. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 21:06, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::: Actually, it looks like {{tl|TOC link}} is fine; it's {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} that needs fixing for multi-level subpages. Specifically, {{tlp|TOC link|1|Volume 3/Something|link label}} works fine; the trick is that {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} breaks up the page link as "The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36" and "The Lisbon Earthquake" (and makes the text link label just the second part), while {{tl|TOC link}} needs the "Volume 36" part explicitly included. I should be able to make a variant of {{tl|TOC row 2dot-1 linked}} that handles this correctly, just by splitting the "The Works of Voltaire/Volume 36" param. [[User:JesseW|JesseW]] ([[User talk:JesseW|talk]]) 22:59, 24 July 2022 (UTC) :::: Sweet, I figured out a way to add an optional parameter (subpages=) that solves the problem!

Not a pressing issue, but just so you're aware.{{pbr}}But let me just add the obligatory Please Don't Use These Templates™ rant: none of the current crop of toc templates should be used, because they are technically poor (every single use creates technical debt for us, and it's unsustainably huge already), a large proportion produce really rather horrid output (in a technical sense), their operation is prone to cause confusion (a link that looks blue in Page: may be broken in mainspace, and these templates make that harder to detect), and provide very little actual value for the complexity (linking to the physical page in Page: makes little sense: you'll never use it and it tells you nothing about the link's state in mainspace where it matters). It also doesn't help that we have a myriad inconsistent and incompatible such templates. The alternative is plain old table markup, which admittedly can be a little harder to learn and slightly more complicated to use for simple cases, but which gives you far more control and flexibility for the hard cases ''without the downsides of the toc templates''.{{pbr}}So far, nobody much are listening to me on this, but I live in hope… [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:19, 25 July 2022 (UTC) lm0oaq0spj24k2i2l3bti4jdn28oaiz Wikisource:Proposed deletions 4 16100 12506356 12506136 2022-07-24T12:48:45Z Mpaa 257091 /* The Angel of Lonesome Hill */ index created wikitext text/x-wiki :''[[WS:PD]] redirects here.

It is an important historical source for the period. This translation is based upon a digitized version of the recompiled 1774 movable type edition edited by the 武英 (Palace Museum Library).|q=y}} However, looking at it more closely it appears to be much more an original analytical work than anything that could be shoehorned to fit within our definition of a mere translation. The front page is almost entirely original work (apart from a table of contents), partly semi-encyclopedic and partly meta-discussion about the effort itself. Looking at [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] we find some actual translation, but mostly comparisons with a professionally published previous translation (Luce) that is quoted ''extensively'', and translator's commentary that far exceeds the actual translated text itself. It also features a lot of images that obviously do not appear in any original, but have been picked to illustrate a particular point (i.e. how Wikipedia would construct an article). [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 2|Chapter 2]] and onwards are the same, except they lack the extensive quotations from the published translation (Luce), but only because the effort to compare has not reached that point yet. Around Chapter 9 the translation appears incomplete with only the Chinese original text present. Irrespective of the rest of this work, there is a question regarding the extensive quotations from the previous professional translation ([https://hdl.handle.net/1813/57513 link]). It is a 1961 publication with copyright notice, so there is a high probability that it is in copyright (and thus the quotations are also copyvios). I haven't looked at this issue in detail, but if this discussion ends up keeping the work in some form we will have to address that separately (and if it is not in copyright, why are we not transcribing that instead of making our own?). The sole contributor to [[Translation:Manshu]] has a somewhat haphazard approach to copyright (e.g. claiming satellite imagery from Google Maps or similar as "own work") so the issue will have to be checked thoroughly. But all that being said, this is also a great effort and a unique work that really ''should'' exist somewhere. If it were completed I'm certain it could have been professionally published, and it would be a real shame if all the effort that's gone into it was wasted. The contributor has not been active since 2018 (and the last large progress was in 2016), so I don't think it very likely that it will now ever be completed; but if a place is found for it even the partial translation is valuable, and could conceivably be completed by others at some point in the future. If the outcome of this discussion is that it is out of scope we should make a real effort to see whether a project like WikiBooks would be interested, and, if not, rather than simply delete it we should move it to the contributor's user space (a practice I am usually vehemently opposed to but am making an exception in this particular case). In any case, it has kept popping up on my radar for various reasons, and I have always been torn on what to do about its issues. It seems clearly outside of scope per [[WS:WWI]], doesn't meet [[WS:T]], violates [[WS:ANN]], and would most likely need cleanup to meet [[WS:COPY]].

Southeast Asia Program as a title reveals registration of other of these data papers as copyrighted works, but no renewal of this one. This suggests the copyright was never renewed on the Luce translation (possibly this is not surprising, as these weren't exactly blockbusters...) and it is now public domain, judging by [[Help:Public domain#ref renewal]].

I would say I have spent upwards of 500 hours on this translation. During the time it is alleged that I have been inactive, I was a founding team member at a very important company you would have heard of, and provided some of the earliest COVID map coverage on Wikipedia ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.webm webm] [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.gif gif]). Currently I run seven (7) companies and have a family, so it is fair to say I have 'other commitments'. I do still intend to complete the translation. Aside from time constraints, partly I have not been active on Wiki projects recently because I am living in China and this makes editing Wikiprojects a massive hassle due to the requirement for a VPN. Nevertheless, I noticed this deletion attempt by [[User:Xover|Xover]] and would like to respond objectively for the record. If we summarize the alleged issues they are as follows: * '''The translation includes commentary''' ** That is simply because it is a good (ie. transparent/honest) translation. ** Any accredited historian will agree this is a good (positive) feature. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work is incomplete''' ** I am still finishing, I am just ridiculously busy and have been so for five years. ** Incomplete and pending further effort is often simply the nature of voluntary work. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes quotations from previous translations''' ** Fully cited and contextually presented, in academia, this is clearly fair use. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes satellite derived images''' ** These images were constructed with great care based upon detailed context and are both low resolution and substantially original work in themselves. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The translation is done by the contributor and openly licensed instead of being an out of copyright work of someone else which has been uploaded''' ** IMHO as a student of history original translation is *great* to welcome and should be encouraged. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates 'What Wikisource Includes' (WWI) ''' ** Wikisource includes "Works created after 1925" / "Analytical and artistic works". ** Wikisource includes "Translations" ** To be perfectly honest I consider this assertion a truly baseless accusation that I frankly find highly offensive. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''"Doesn't meet" WS:T''' ** Unclear what this means ** The WST page clearly states that original translations are in-scope and acceptable (there is only one prior English translation and it is bad and incorrect) ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates WS:ANN''' ** I have never seen that page before in my life ** Apparently it doesn't like parallel text ** I would suggest strongly that parallel text provides the basis for most high caliber academic translations, it is my view that ''the policy page'' is wrong and further discussion to correct it should occur there. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Requires cleanup to meet WS:COPY''' ** Unsure what this is actually alleging ** Aside from original work there is only contextual quotations from other works in line with an academic translation ** This does not in any way support 'delete'.

I'm not sure why you felt it relevant to mention that you have +sysop on enwp, but since you bring it up… as an admin on enwp you should be well familiar with the need to make policy-based arguments in such discussions and to familiarise oneself with the policy on the project. I have raised several policy-based concerns, and your response addresses none of them. However, to reiterate the challenges:{{pbr}}The text on [[Translation:Manshu]] is not a mere translation of a previously published work. It contains substantial portions of your own analysis, comparisons, and commentary: all of which is ''original'' rather than ''previously published'' content. In enwp terms, think of it as "original research": it's not a perfect analogy, but the problem is similar. This is out of scope for English Wikisource. In addition, you include extensive quotations from the other (professionally published) translation, but that translation is not public domain or compatibly licensed. Fair use content is not permitted on English Wikisource (and even on enWP only in very narrow and limited circumstances), which puts in violation of our licensing policy.{{pbr}}Now, as I wrote above, this is an impressive work and I am sure it is a valuable contribution to the knowledge in that area of study. It just isn't compatible with the policies on Wikisource. In other words, if it is to stay here it will have to be stripped down so that it ''only'' contains the translation, without embellishment, of the original text and all non-public domain elements removed. I imagine that's not your first choice as I get the impression it is the analytical parts of the work that interest you the most. So as an alternative, works such as this may be in scope for [[b:Main Page|WikiBooks]]: their scope explicitly includes original works so long as it falls within their definition of "educational". As another Wikimedia sister project it is possible to import the pages between projects, even preserving revision history.

I see now that the whole book is in place (thank you [[user:Xover]]) so presumably the header about delete can now be removed from the page. However the reason for placing it here on Wikisource in the first place and it is a stand alone extract from a book. If only whole books can exist in this archive and not extracts from a book, then that presents a real problem, as one of the reasons this source site was created was to take extracts that ought not to be placed onto Wikipedia. To take one example "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" does the whole book have to exist on Wikisurce before that extract (about a specific topic, or passage) can be placed on Wikisource? [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes#Excerpts]] is to say the least not clear on this issue. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 16:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC) :@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: Thanks for commenting!{{pbr}}Yes, our written policies are rather less developed than one expects coming from enWP, and rely instead on practice developed over the years. It's really not an approach that's friendly to people for whom enWS is not their primary project, but I've complained about it so much people have started to just nod, smile, and back away slowly when I bring it up. Oh well…{{pbr}}Our basic unit here is the previously published work, in a specific edition. ''God in the Mount'' (1641) is ''a work''. ''The History of Birmingham'' (1835) is ''a work''. The latter includes an excerpt of the former, and [[April the 8th came certain intelligence to London from Brumingham|April the 8th …]] is an excerpt from that. In other words, an excerpt of an excerpt. In a ''citation'' (i.e. on enWP) citing some fragment of info through intermediary sources is fine and often even preferable for reliability, but the goal on enWS is preserving and making available the ''works'' themselves ''as published''. That we have added a scan to back the excerpt does not make it any less of an excerpt; only made possible the production of the whole work. But do I take it then that you have no interest in proofreading the entire work? At a little over 500 pages it isn't insurmountable, and it's not inconceivable that others would be interested in helping out. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC) ::[[User:Xover|Xover]]: if I had unlimited time the I would be only too happy to proofread the book. However I tend to proof read text that is useful for my primary work about topics on Wikipeadia. My concern here is that the extract was a quote of a primary source, if primary sources can only be accessed if the whole of the text in which it is quoted then this is a diminution of the use of both Wikipedia and Wikisource to provide information to readers of articles on Wikipedia. Take for example the quote from Richard I. The original will be in French, and will exist in some archive. There are several translation in reliable secondary sources. The reason for placing an extract from one of those secondary sources is it allows a Wikipedia article on Richard to include the statement "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" with a link to the text on Wikisource. The rest of the book may or may not be worth including here. But the translation of the primary source certainly is. ::Another example which is on my to do list is a further transcribing of "[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna]]" That in itself is a large undertaking and usually Wikipedia articles are only interested in specific articles within the treaties that make up the Final Act. However while I see the use of copying all of the treaties that make up the Final Act, I see no reason in the medium term to copy over and proofread the whole of the sources I am using for that text: ''The Parliamentary Debates from the Year 1803 to the Present Time'', volume 2, 1 Feb to 6 march 1816. Even more so as the text is formatted in a way that make reading it difficult (so I am using a couple of other sources to help with formatting and some minor translation alterations). As I wrote in the introduction to ''[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna/Act I]]'' "This translation was laid before the British Parliament on 2 February 1816, with some additional formatting from the French original." The reason for this is that the French formatting is close to modern English that that used in the Parliamentary translation. ::So I think that you need to consider when suggesting that the whole text of a secondary source is included, whether that is the most useful use of editors time or even if it is desirable when what is most useful for modern use by as [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article titles|:Wikipedia:Article titles]] puts it "The ... description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize." Ie someone interested in (but probably not an expert in) the Napoleonic wars, or the post war concord, may well be interested in the details of the treaties without being in the leaset interested in the Prince Regents speech to the British Parliament at the start of the 1816 session. ::It may be in the future that someone somewhere will want a copy of that speech, but until it is requested (eg via a link from an article on Wikipedia), I think that editors can use their limited time here to support the project in ways that are more help to the someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area. ::-- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 14:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC) :::@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: You need to think of it in terms of things like [[w:WP:NPOV|WP:NPOV]], [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]] and [[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]]: if we allowed arbitrary extracts we would allow selective quotation of whatever subsets of a work supported someone's point of view (maybe [[w:WP:UNDUE|WP:UNDUE]] is an apposite reference?). Our equivalent to [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]] is to make sure works are previously published, and not self-published. For [[w:WP:V|WP:V]] we use proofreading from a scan of the original, rather than just cut&pasting some text from the web somewhere. For example, if you are adding text that is an amalgamation of multiple sources (the text you mentioned as hard to read), or are adding text from one edition but formatting it according to a completely different edition, you are essentially just creating a completely new edition. In analogy, you are violating [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]]/[[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]], [[w:WP:V|WP:V]], and [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]].{{pbr}}We do not require anyone to actually proofread entire publications (they can literally be a lifetime's work in length), but whenever you are looking at something more granular than "book" it ends up being an assessment of whether the text qualifies as a stand-alone ''work'' (think "stand-alone article" or "… list" in enWP terms: [[w:WP:GNG|WP:GNG]]-like assessments apply) or whether it is a mere excerpt from a larger work. A poem of a few lines can certainly qualify as a stand-alone work, but even a full chapter excerpted from a novel would not. Your Richard I example might pass that bar, as it looks like a complete letter or speech (I didn't check its published context; it needs scan-backing and situating within the context of the work within it was published in any case), but the text currently under discussion doesn't because not only is it an excerpt from ''The History of Birmingham'' but it is also in turn an excerpt of ''God in the Mount''.

In December 2015, [[User:Library Guy]] moved the page [[1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] (now a mainspace redirect, which I also disagree with) to [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] with the comment "shouldn't be in main namespace". They are not works at all, nor are they actual sections of the original encyclopedias themselves, so I don't believe they belong in the mainspace. At the very least, the mainspace project disclaimers should be moved to appropriate sections of the project namespace, without redirects being left behind. However, I think these overly specific disclaimers are probably products of another time, when Wikisource was younger and it was being used more so than to-day as an aid and supplement to Wikipedia's efforts. We also have [[Wikisource:General disclaimer]] which (at least in a broader way) covers most of the things said in these pages. I would be fine with just to '''delete''' them.

Something should probably be done there. Maybe just {{tl|AuxTOC}} could work somehow.

The entire sum of human media before 1923, and now before 1926, is a pretty wide scope of works after all, which, theoretically, we should have transcribed in its totality at Wikisource. I've seen entire plot summary sections of Wikipedia articles having been copied verbatim from public domain film magazines, for example (as of now, film magazine coverage at Wikisource is incredibly slim, however ''theoretically'' we should have them all). There are a ton of nonfiction works, encyclopedias included but also dictionaries, atlases, certain magazines, textbooks, newspapers, masters' theses, and the list goes on. Any number of these things are copied and/or used at Wikipedia all the time. Should we make mainspace disclaimers specific to these, too? How about I put a page like that in [[The Masses (periodical)]], to make sure that Wikipedians who might use it know that ''The Masses'' purposefully has a socialist slant, and that articles shouldn't be copied to Wikipedia because it's not NPOV? The encyclopedia disclaimers set a bad precedent that way, and I'm a bit worried something like that might be tried one day because of it. And anyway, if "they generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules", that seems like a bad thing to me. Why is that our responsibility? What is done with the information in the encyclopedias at Wikipedia should ''by no means'' be our specific responsibility. We're a very different project from them, and Wikipedians can go to pages like [[Wikisource:For Wikipedians]] to get an idea of that. Furthermore, I disagree that these disclaimer pages are useful even. Let's look at [[Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Project Disclaimer]] as an example. It says: <blockquote>'''Inaccuracies:''' The articles of the 1921 edition of Collier's New Encyclopedia were based upon the information available to the editors and contributors at the time of their original publication in the early 20th century. Changing circumstances and more recent research may have rendered this information obsolete or revealed it to be inaccurate, especially in the areas of science, law, and ethnography. Readers should bear this in mind when using the information.</blockquote> There is an entire section dedicated to this very thing covered by [[WS:GD]], which says for example (while not with the exact wording): <blockquote>[...] we cannot guarantee (in any way whatsoever) the validity of the documents found here. In particular, medical or legal texts on Wikisource may be incorrect or out of date. We suggest contacting a qualified professional for such information.</blockquote> The next section: <blockquote>'''Transcription errors:''' These articles are transcribed from the originals by volunteers, sometimes directly and sometimes by correcting a preliminary OCR conversion. While we strive for perfect accuracy, there may be transcription errors in the articles.</blockquote> What [[WS:GD]] says about the same thing (although the wording isn't very specific so it's easy to misconstrue): <blockquote>[...] material found here may not be reviewed by professionals who are knowledgeable in the particular areas of expertise necessary to ensure the accuracy of the texts.</blockquote> So we can take out those bits because they aren't necessary for an entire separate page. What we're left with is the very first paragraph, which states: <blockquote>'''Title usage:''' Use of the titles Collier's New Encyclopedia or Collier's Encyclopedia is strictly to acknowledge titles used to refer to the edition of 1921 which has gone into the public domain in the United States due to the expiration of its copyright there. Any reference to this material should explicitly note the original date of publication.</blockquote> Trademark law is not mentioned in the general disclaimer. However, at this point all we have is a paragraph, which is enough for just being in the notes section on the header of the encyclopedia work. However, even this trademark law bit ''could'' be mentioned in the general disclaimer, but isn't for some reason. Really, any number of works hosted at Wikisource are probably still protected by trademark in some jurisdictions, and we really shouldn't leave a disclaimer about it on every work that applies to. We should probably mention, in the general disclaimer, that the use of the titles of some works, or the identities of the characters in them, may violate trademark laws in some jurisdictions which is unrelated to copyright. I'd like to end the post by saying that I think much the material in these project disclaimers could be either included or made more specific in the [[WS:General disclaimer]]. I don't like how vague the general disclaimer currently is on many issues, so it certainly could be improved. However, the issues with the general disclaimer does not necessitate the existence of a specific project disclaimer page, in the ''mainspace'' of all places, for every single encyclopedia we have that I know of. I think the improvement of our general disclaimer should be discussed by the way (probably separately to this discussion). [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC) *[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: Many encyclopedias (''e.g.'', ''EB'', ''EA'') are still covered by trademark law, but ''most'' (if not effectively all) books are not. My response to your (rhetorical?) question about ''The Masses'' is the following: No, it should not have a disclaimer, because ''no ''new'' disclaimers should be made''. The maintenance (read: non-deletion) of these project disclaimers harks back to when Wikipedia copied at large from the old encyclopedias, and they noted them back to Wikisource. The disclaimers were added to the projects at the time to facilitate this, and thus, to maintain this ''ad-hoc'' “backwards compatibility,” they should be kept. I disagree with your interpretation above: the ''Collier’s'' disclaimer is more specific than the general disclaimer, and thus is useful. (This is the case with other project disclaimers, as well.) I also believe that the general disclaimer is perfectly functional in its current state: being a ''general'' disclaimer, it doesn’t need excruciating detail. I agree regarding the general disclaimer discussion; for another time, perhaps. (As for the old film magazines, they are quite interesting, but with so many images, it is a daunting prospect.)

In the amount of time I've been active at Wikisource, which would be a couple years at this point, I have ''never even seen'' anything of this template, much less seen it being used. I often patrol recent changes for vandalism and new users who might need help or their edits standardized, and in that time I've never seen the template in use. Yet, [[Template:Welcome]] links to this template still. Not helping the case of <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> is that '''even the template itself''' (not even the documentation but the ''template'') recommends the main point I have against keeping this template around, which is that we have other outlets that are better used for help. We have such fine resources as [[WS:SCH|the Scriptorium help desk]], talk pages of experienced users, an IRC channel, (as of relatively recently) a Discord server, and probably more outlets I'm forgetting to mention, where a user can ask for help. Given that we have these other outlets, having a self-categorizing help template on Wikisource doesn't seem like it's very efficient in practice, at least maybe not anymore. [[Template:Helpme]] got only '''2 pageviews''' in the past 30 days, and the category [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] got '''7 pageviews'''. That's ''pretty bad'' when you compare it to [[:Category:Speedy deletion requests]], a far more useful maintenance category, which got '''314 pageviews''' this month. This illustrates the point that I don't think this category gets enough attention for its stated purpose; I doubt many admins have it bookmarked (maybe I should?). Whatever the case may be, the amount of people specifically patrolling [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] is clearly very scant to none, and a user would get better help by asking for it from another source that would get more attention, like the ones mentioned above. This is especially the case for more complex problems. It's really most likely to be used by editors who recently discovered us through Wikipedia and are thus used to WP's community practices, and many of those practices really ought not be encouraged. Many things Wikipedia does are virtually incompatible with Wikisource simply because we're a smaller community, and they have a ''far'' larger active editor base than we do. If a template is greatly discouraged virtually everywhere, it should probably just be deleted. The better outlets should be highlighted to new contributors as the right way to do it, with [[Template:Helpme]] removed from our welcome template and any other places it remains linked.

I see it used frequently enough, and the category is mentioned through the “recent pages” header listing. I am suprised that you have never seen its use, actually. In addition, the fact that messages sent to such help-related outlets are often ignored makes it desirable to have multiple methods of communication. I believe that the deletion of the “hangon” template was appropriate, because it was never integrated into the Wikisource structure, and its purpose was better accomplished and was actually accomplished by other utilities. However, I believe that the “helpme” template is useful, and its use, though not especially frequent, shows this to be the case.

The assertion that "experience indicates that a significant subset of contributors are turned off by the presence of such ... pages and will avoid working on indexes where they are present" has not been proved. Xover is not a significant subset of contributors. The OCR of the other volumes is generally almost perfect. The creation of pages for this particular volume appears to have been a mistake.

All of these or either of them would be acceptable here, but separately and in context (for example, in UKTS ''Versailles'' was published along with a treaty between the UK and France guaranteeing protection to the latter in the event of German aggression).{{pbr}}I think it's probably necessary here to clearly distinguish between ''the Treaty of Versailles'' as a legal construct, and the various editions of ''the text of the Treaty of Versailles''. The legal construct should ideally have an identical interpretation irrespective of text source, and can in fact deviate from the plain meaning of the text if legal interpretation says it means something else. This interpretation can change over time, and can temporarily or permanently become divergent. But in essence, this "true treaty" exists as a meta-entity in the heads of legal scholars and so forth. The ''text'' on the other hand, exists in multiple editions and variants, that are, presumably, identical in terms of the legal construct, but can differ markedly and drastically in bibliographic and historiographic terms. Mostly not in terms of the text of the treaty itself, but perhaps in formatting and layout (unless it's a facsimile) and certainly in context (what addenda and prolegomena it is published with; or perhaps even annotation and commentary inserted into the text itself). The legal construct of the treaty on enWS only corresponds with a versions page (or possibly even a Portal); but it is specific published editions of the text of the treaty that are in scope for us to host. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC) *:[[User:Xover|Xover]]: The United States never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, because of the League of Nations; the [[US–Germany Peace Treaty]] (which ''was'' published in the ''Statutes'') mentions that treaty and incorporates some of its provisions, but the text of the Treaty of Versailles is not to be found in U.S.Stat. I think one consideration which needs to be had here is the number of internal (and external from Wikipedia) links to this copy of the Treaty of Versailles.

The front page is almost entirely original work (apart from a table of contents), partly semi-encyclopedic and partly meta-discussion about the effort itself. Looking at [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] we find some actual translation, but mostly comparisons with a professionally published previous translation (Luce) that is quoted ''extensively'', and translator's commentary that far exceeds the actual translated text itself. It also features a lot of images that obviously do not appear in any original, but have been picked to illustrate a particular point (i.e. how Wikipedia would construct an article). [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 2|Chapter 2]] and onwards are the same, except they lack the extensive quotations from the published translation (Luce), but only because the effort to compare has not reached that point yet. Around Chapter 9 the translation appears incomplete with only the Chinese original text present. Irrespective of the rest of this work, there is a question regarding the extensive quotations from the previous professional translation ([https://hdl.handle.net/1813/57513 link]). It is a 1961 publication with copyright notice, so there is a high probability that it is in copyright (and thus the quotations are also copyvios). I haven't looked at this issue in detail, but if this discussion ends up keeping the work in some form we will have to address that separately (and if it is not in copyright, why are we not transcribing that instead of making our own?). The sole contributor to [[Translation:Manshu]] has a somewhat haphazard approach to copyright (e.g. claiming satellite imagery from Google Maps or similar as "own work") so the issue will have to be checked thoroughly. But all that being said, this is also a great effort and a unique work that really ''should'' exist somewhere. If it were completed I'm certain it could have been professionally published, and it would be a real shame if all the effort that's gone into it was wasted. The contributor has not been active since 2018 (and the last large progress was in 2016), so I don't think it very likely that it will now ever be completed; but if a place is found for it even the partial translation is valuable, and could conceivably be completed by others at some point in the future. If the outcome of this discussion is that it is out of scope we should make a real effort to see whether a project like WikiBooks would be interested, and, if not, rather than simply delete it we should move it to the contributor's user space (a practice I am usually vehemently opposed to but am making an exception in this particular case). In any case, it has kept popping up on my radar for various reasons, and I have always been torn on what to do about its issues. It seems clearly outside of scope per [[WS:WWI]], doesn't meet [[WS:T]], violates [[WS:ANN]], and would most likely need cleanup to meet [[WS:COPY]].

Aside from time constraints, partly I have not been active on Wiki projects recently because I am living in China and this makes editing Wikiprojects a massive hassle due to the requirement for a VPN. Nevertheless, I noticed this deletion attempt by [[User:Xover|Xover]] and would like to respond objectively for the record. If we summarize the alleged issues they are as follows: * '''The translation includes commentary''' ** That is simply because it is a good (ie. transparent/honest) translation. ** Any accredited historian will agree this is a good (positive) feature. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work is incomplete''' ** I am still finishing, I am just ridiculously busy and have been so for five years. ** Incomplete and pending further effort is often simply the nature of voluntary work. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes quotations from previous translations''' ** Fully cited and contextually presented, in academia, this is clearly fair use. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes satellite derived images''' ** These images were constructed with great care based upon detailed context and are both low resolution and substantially original work in themselves. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The translation is done by the contributor and openly licensed instead of being an out of copyright work of someone else which has been uploaded''' ** IMHO as a student of history original translation is *great* to welcome and should be encouraged. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates 'What Wikisource Includes' (WWI) ''' ** Wikisource includes "Works created after 1925" / "Analytical and artistic works". ** Wikisource includes "Translations" ** To be perfectly honest I consider this assertion a truly baseless accusation that I frankly find highly offensive. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''"Doesn't meet" WS:T''' ** Unclear what this means ** The WST page clearly states that original translations are in-scope and acceptable (there is only one prior English translation and it is bad and incorrect) ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates WS:ANN''' ** I have never seen that page before in my life ** Apparently it doesn't like parallel text ** I would suggest strongly that parallel text provides the basis for most high caliber academic translations, it is my view that ''the policy page'' is wrong and further discussion to correct it should occur there. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Requires cleanup to meet WS:COPY''' ** Unsure what this is actually alleging ** Aside from original work there is only contextual quotations from other works in line with an academic translation ** This does not in any way support 'delete'.

I'm not sure why you felt it relevant to mention that you have +sysop on enwp, but since you bring it up… as an admin on enwp you should be well familiar with the need to make policy-based arguments in such discussions and to familiarise oneself with the policy on the project. I have raised several policy-based concerns, and your response addresses none of them. However, to reiterate the challenges:{{pbr}}The text on [[Translation:Manshu]] is not a mere translation of a previously published work. It contains substantial portions of your own analysis, comparisons, and commentary: all of which is ''original'' rather than ''previously published'' content. In enwp terms, think of it as "original research": it's not a perfect analogy, but the problem is similar. This is out of scope for English Wikisource. In addition, you include extensive quotations from the other (professionally published) translation, but that translation is not public domain or compatibly licensed. Fair use content is not permitted on English Wikisource (and even on enWP only in very narrow and limited circumstances), which puts in violation of our licensing policy.{{pbr}}Now, as I wrote above, this is an impressive work and I am sure it is a valuable contribution to the knowledge in that area of study. It just isn't compatible with the policies on Wikisource. In other words, if it is to stay here it will have to be stripped down so that it ''only'' contains the translation, without embellishment, of the original text and all non-public domain elements removed. I imagine that's not your first choice as I get the impression it is the analytical parts of the work that interest you the most. So as an alternative, works such as this may be in scope for [[b:Main Page|WikiBooks]]: their scope explicitly includes original works so long as it falls within their definition of "educational". As another Wikimedia sister project it is possible to import the pages between projects, even preserving revision history.

Using a personal ILL account, I can request books (some of which are on ProQuest), but nowhere in the agreement to use that ILL account is there a restriction on usage like the ProQuest EULA—which means there is no contract for me (or Wikimedia) to get sued over.

I see now that the whole book is in place (thank you [[user:Xover]]) so presumably the header about delete can now be removed from the page. However the reason for placing it here on Wikisource in the first place and it is a stand alone extract from a book. If only whole books can exist in this archive and not extracts from a book, then that presents a real problem, as one of the reasons this source site was created was to take extracts that ought not to be placed onto Wikipedia. To take one example "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" does the whole book have to exist on Wikisurce before that extract (about a specific topic, or passage) can be placed on Wikisource? [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes#Excerpts]] is to say the least not clear on this issue. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 16:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC) :@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: Thanks for commenting!{{pbr}}Yes, our written policies are rather less developed than one expects coming from enWP, and rely instead on practice developed over the years. It's really not an approach that's friendly to people for whom enWS is not their primary project, but I've complained about it so much people have started to just nod, smile, and back away slowly when I bring it up. Oh well…{{pbr}}Our basic unit here is the previously published work, in a specific edition. ''God in the Mount'' (1641) is ''a work''. ''The History of Birmingham'' (1835) is ''a work''. The latter includes an excerpt of the former, and [[April the 8th came certain intelligence to London from Brumingham|April the 8th …]] is an excerpt from that. In other words, an excerpt of an excerpt. In a ''citation'' (i.e. on enWP) citing some fragment of info through intermediary sources is fine and often even preferable for reliability, but the goal on enWS is preserving and making available the ''works'' themselves ''as published''. That we have added a scan to back the excerpt does not make it any less of an excerpt; only made possible the production of the whole work. But do I take it then that you have no interest in proofreading the entire work? At a little over 500 pages it isn't insurmountable, and it's not inconceivable that others would be interested in helping out. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC) ::[[User:Xover|Xover]]: if I had unlimited time the I would be only too happy to proofread the book. However I tend to proof read text that is useful for my primary work about topics on Wikipeadia. My concern here is that the extract was a quote of a primary source, if primary sources can only be accessed if the whole of the text in which it is quoted then this is a diminution of the use of both Wikipedia and Wikisource to provide information to readers of articles on Wikipedia. Take for example the quote from Richard I. The original will be in French, and will exist in some archive. There are several translation in reliable secondary sources. The reason for placing an extract from one of those secondary sources is it allows a Wikipedia article on Richard to include the statement "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" with a link to the text on Wikisource. The rest of the book may or may not be worth including here. But the translation of the primary source certainly is. ::Another example which is on my to do list is a further transcribing of "[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna]]" That in itself is a large undertaking and usually Wikipedia articles are only interested in specific articles within the treaties that make up the Final Act. However while I see the use of copying all of the treaties that make up the Final Act, I see no reason in the medium term to copy over and proofread the whole of the sources I am using for that text: ''The Parliamentary Debates from the Year 1803 to the Present Time'', volume 2, 1 Feb to 6 march 1816. Even more so as the text is formatted in a way that make reading it difficult (so I am using a couple of other sources to help with formatting and some minor translation alterations). As I wrote in the introduction to ''[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna/Act I]]'' "This translation was laid before the British Parliament on 2 February 1816, with some additional formatting from the French original." The reason for this is that the French formatting is close to modern English that that used in the Parliamentary translation. ::So I think that you need to consider when suggesting that the whole text of a secondary source is included, whether that is the most useful use of editors time or even if it is desirable when what is most useful for modern use by as [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article titles|:Wikipedia:Article titles]] puts it "The ... description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize." Ie someone interested in (but probably not an expert in) the Napoleonic wars, or the post war concord, may well be interested in the details of the treaties without being in the leaset interested in the Prince Regents speech to the British Parliament at the start of the 1816 session. ::It may be in the future that someone somewhere will want a copy of that speech, but until it is requested (eg via a link from an article on Wikipedia), I think that editors can use their limited time here to support the project in ways that are more help to the someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area. ::-- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 14:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC) :::@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: You need to think of it in terms of things like [[w:WP:NPOV|WP:NPOV]], [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]] and [[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]]: if we allowed arbitrary extracts we would allow selective quotation of whatever subsets of a work supported someone's point of view (maybe [[w:WP:UNDUE|WP:UNDUE]] is an apposite reference?). Our equivalent to [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]] is to make sure works are previously published, and not self-published. For [[w:WP:V|WP:V]] we use proofreading from a scan of the original, rather than just cut&pasting some text from the web somewhere. For example, if you are adding text that is an amalgamation of multiple sources (the text you mentioned as hard to read), or are adding text from one edition but formatting it according to a completely different edition, you are essentially just creating a completely new edition. In analogy, you are violating [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]]/[[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]], [[w:WP:V|WP:V]], and [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]].{{pbr}}We do not require anyone to actually proofread entire publications (they can literally be a lifetime's work in length), but whenever you are looking at something more granular than "book" it ends up being an assessment of whether the text qualifies as a stand-alone ''work'' (think "stand-alone article" or "… list" in enWP terms: [[w:WP:GNG|WP:GNG]]-like assessments apply) or whether it is a mere excerpt from a larger work. A poem of a few lines can certainly qualify as a stand-alone work, but even a full chapter excerpted from a novel would not. Your Richard I example might pass that bar, as it looks like a complete letter or speech (I didn't check its published context; it needs scan-backing and situating within the context of the work within it was published in any case), but the text currently under discussion doesn't because not only is it an excerpt from ''The History of Birmingham'' but it is also in turn an excerpt of ''God in the Mount''.

I didn’t realize that someone had already started this one as a DJVU set because it wasn’t listed on the Tolstoy page. Then, while looking through some of the Tolstoy works, I stumbled across the partial set of DJVUs. So, I requested that the text be merged over to the PDF because some of the DJVUs had missing pages or were worser quality. Beeswaxcandle then deleted the PDFs leaving to partial sets. Soon afterwards, I had to take a wiki break. It seems that in the meantime, someone began improving the DJVU set and restored the PDFs. Now, it seems like we have three choices. First, move the pages over from the DJVu to the PDF and delete the DJVU set. Two, import all the PDFs, move the page list over, merge the PDF pages to the DJVu, delete all the PDFs. Three, create a mixed set of PDFs and DJVUs by moving the pages over from the PDFs to the DJVUs and then deleting the PDFs. Two seems like the most work, three will produce a more confusing template, and one will require a bot to move stuff.

In December 2015, [[User:Library Guy]] moved the page [[1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] (now a mainspace redirect, which I also disagree with) to [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] with the comment "shouldn't be in main namespace". They are not works at all, nor are they actual sections of the original encyclopedias themselves, so I don't believe they belong in the mainspace. At the very least, the mainspace project disclaimers should be moved to appropriate sections of the project namespace, without redirects being left behind. However, I think these overly specific disclaimers are probably products of another time, when Wikisource was younger and it was being used more so than to-day as an aid and supplement to Wikipedia's efforts. We also have [[Wikisource:General disclaimer]] which (at least in a broader way) covers most of the things said in these pages. I would be fine with just to '''delete''' them.

Something should probably be done there. Maybe just {{tl|AuxTOC}} could work somehow. The disclaimers could be moved back to the main namespace with a wrapper of some sort since it seems tough to wrap a redirect.

I will also mention the [[ACAB]] disclaimer has some things that I think are really very necessary for that work.

These project disclaimers were added a long time ago, and are a part of the project’s set-up. While, strictly speaking, they are not neccessary, I think that, at this point, it would be more detrimental to delete them than to keep them. Certainly, they should not be made now; but I do not think they should be deleted. Any move (across namespaces) would necessitate a cross-namespace redirect, owing to the age of the original name.

Right, they aren't works at all, nor parts of works, in any sense. The mainspace is for ''works'', not entire user-generated pages dedicated to explaining some bits of information about how a work ought to be used, especially when all of those notices are already fundamentally covered by [[WS:General disclaimer]]. Furthermore, the initial question I had has still not been answered. That is, why, specifically, would the removal of these disclaimers in the mainspace be so destructive to the encyclopedia projects? You even admit that "strictly speaking, they are not necessary", so if something isn't necessary, why would deleting it be so detrimental?

No, the notices are not covered by the general disclaimer; that is why they are project-specific, and deleting them would entail recourse to the general (and thus not specifically useful) disclaimer, while losing the information of specific relevance to the articles at hand. They generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules regarding “verifiability,” “notability,” and such, I believe; such being the reason for their initial creation. [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 01:14, 12 September 2021 (UTC) {{ping|TE(æ)A,ea.}} Wikipedians copying and referencing material that happens to be in the public domain is nothing new as you say. The entire sum of human media before 1923, and now before 1926, is a pretty wide scope of works after all, which, theoretically, we should have transcribed in its totality at Wikisource. I've seen entire plot summary sections of Wikipedia articles having been copied verbatim from public domain film magazines, for example (as of now, film magazine coverage at Wikisource is incredibly slim, however ''theoretically'' we should have them all). There are a ton of nonfiction works, encyclopedias included but also dictionaries, atlases, certain magazines, textbooks, newspapers, masters' theses, and the list goes on. Any number of these things are copied and/or used at Wikipedia all the time. Should we make mainspace disclaimers specific to these, too? How about I put a page like that in [[The Masses (periodical)]], to make sure that Wikipedians who might use it know that ''The Masses'' purposefully has a socialist slant, and that articles shouldn't be copied to Wikipedia because it's not NPOV? The encyclopedia disclaimers set a bad precedent that way, and I'm a bit worried something like that might be tried one day because of it. And anyway, if "they generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules", that seems like a bad thing to me. Why is that our responsibility? What is done with the information in the encyclopedias at Wikipedia should ''by no means'' be our specific responsibility. We're a very different project from them, and Wikipedians can go to pages like [[Wikisource:For Wikipedians]] to get an idea of that. Furthermore, I disagree that these disclaimer pages are useful even. Let's look at [[Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Project Disclaimer]] as an example. It says: <blockquote>'''Inaccuracies:''' The articles of the 1921 edition of Collier's New Encyclopedia were based upon the information available to the editors and contributors at the time of their original publication in the early 20th century. Changing circumstances and more recent research may have rendered this information obsolete or revealed it to be inaccurate, especially in the areas of science, law, and ethnography. Readers should bear this in mind when using the information.</blockquote> There is an entire section dedicated to this very thing covered by [[WS:GD]], which says for example (while not with the exact wording): <blockquote>[...] we cannot guarantee (in any way whatsoever) the validity of the documents found here. In particular, medical or legal texts on Wikisource may be incorrect or out of date. We suggest contacting a qualified professional for such information.</blockquote> The next section: <blockquote>'''Transcription errors:''' These articles are transcribed from the originals by volunteers, sometimes directly and sometimes by correcting a preliminary OCR conversion. While we strive for perfect accuracy, there may be transcription errors in the articles.</blockquote> What [[WS:GD]] says about the same thing (although the wording isn't very specific so it's easy to misconstrue): <blockquote>[...] material found here may not be reviewed by professionals who are knowledgeable in the particular areas of expertise necessary to ensure the accuracy of the texts.</blockquote> So we can take out those bits because they aren't necessary for an entire separate page. What we're left with is the very first paragraph, which states: <blockquote>'''Title usage:''' Use of the titles Collier's New Encyclopedia or Collier's Encyclopedia is strictly to acknowledge titles used to refer to the edition of 1921 which has gone into the public domain in the United States due to the expiration of its copyright there. Any reference to this material should explicitly note the original date of publication.</blockquote> Trademark law is not mentioned in the general disclaimer. However, at this point all we have is a paragraph, which is enough for just being in the notes section on the header of the encyclopedia work. However, even this trademark law bit ''could'' be mentioned in the general disclaimer, but isn't for some reason. Really, any number of works hosted at Wikisource are probably still protected by trademark in some jurisdictions, and we really shouldn't leave a disclaimer about it on every work that applies to. We should probably mention, in the general disclaimer, that the use of the titles of some works, or the identities of the characters in them, may violate trademark laws in some jurisdictions which is unrelated to copyright. I'd like to end the post by saying that I think much the material in these project disclaimers could be either included or made more specific in the [[WS:General disclaimer]]. I don't like how vague the general disclaimer currently is on many issues, so it certainly could be improved. However, the issues with the general disclaimer does not necessitate the existence of a specific project disclaimer page, in the ''mainspace'' of all places, for every single encyclopedia we have that I know of. I think the improvement of our general disclaimer should be discussed by the way (probably separately to this discussion). [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC) *[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: Many encyclopedias (''e.g.'', ''EB'', ''EA'') are still covered by trademark law, but ''most'' (if not effectively all) books are not. My response to your (rhetorical?) question about ''The Masses'' is the following: No, it should not have a disclaimer, because ''no ''new'' disclaimers should be made''. The maintenance (read: non-deletion) of these project disclaimers harks back to when Wikipedia copied at large from the old encyclopedias, and they noted them back to Wikisource. The disclaimers were added to the projects at the time to facilitate this, and thus, to maintain this ''ad-hoc'' “backwards compatibility,” they should be kept. I disagree with your interpretation above: the ''Collier’s'' disclaimer is more specific than the general disclaimer, and thus is useful. (This is the case with other project disclaimers, as well.) I also believe that the general disclaimer is perfectly functional in its current state: being a ''general'' disclaimer, it doesn’t need excruciating detail. I agree regarding the general disclaimer discussion; for another time, perhaps. (As for the old film magazines, they are quite interesting, but with so many images, it is a daunting prospect.)

In the amount of time I've been active at Wikisource, which would be a couple years at this point, I have ''never even seen'' anything of this template, much less seen it being used. I often patrol recent changes for vandalism and new users who might need help or their edits standardized, and in that time I've never seen the template in use. Yet, [[Template:Welcome]] links to this template still. Not helping the case of <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> is that '''even the template itself''' (not even the documentation but the ''template'') recommends the main point I have against keeping this template around, which is that we have other outlets that are better used for help. We have such fine resources as [[WS:SCH|the Scriptorium help desk]], talk pages of experienced users, an IRC channel, (as of relatively recently) a Discord server, and probably more outlets I'm forgetting to mention, where a user can ask for help. Given that we have these other outlets, having a self-categorizing help template on Wikisource doesn't seem like it's very efficient in practice, at least maybe not anymore. [[Template:Helpme]] got only '''2 pageviews''' in the past 30 days, and the category [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] got '''7 pageviews'''. That's ''pretty bad'' when you compare it to [[:Category:Speedy deletion requests]], a far more useful maintenance category, which got '''314 pageviews''' this month. This illustrates the point that I don't think this category gets enough attention for its stated purpose; I doubt many admins have it bookmarked (maybe I should?). Whatever the case may be, the amount of people specifically patrolling [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] is clearly very scant to none, and a user would get better help by asking for it from another source that would get more attention, like the ones mentioned above. This is especially the case for more complex problems. It's really most likely to be used by editors who recently discovered us through Wikipedia and are thus used to WP's community practices, and many of those practices really ought not be encouraged. Many things Wikipedia does are virtually incompatible with Wikisource simply because we're a smaller community, and they have a ''far'' larger active editor base than we do. If a template is greatly discouraged virtually everywhere, it should probably just be deleted. The better outlets should be highlighted to new contributors as the right way to do it, with [[Template:Helpme]] removed from our welcome template and any other places it remains linked. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 22:31, 11 June 2022 (UTC) *'''Keep.''' I see it used frequently enough, and the category is mentioned through the “recent pages” header listing. I am suprised that you have never seen its use, actually. In addition, the fact that messages sent to such help-related outlets are often ignored makes it desirable to have multiple methods of communication. I believe that the deletion of the “hangon” template was appropriate, because it was never integrated into the Wikisource structure, and its purpose was better accomplished and was actually accomplished by other utilities. However, I believe that the “helpme” template is useful, and its use, though not especially frequent, shows this to be the case.

Our text is a compilation, as it was also noted at its talk page. --[[User:Jan.Kamenicek|Jan Kameníček]] ([[User talk:Jan.Kamenicek|talk]]) 22:55, 8 July 2022 (UTC) * {{vd}} Agree with the deletion rationale. [[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 00:50, 9 July 2022 (UTC) * {{vd}} The text currently hosted here is clearly a compilation from three separate sources and therefore corresponding to none of them; and two of the sources are secondary transcriptions from no known original. The current wikipage(s) at [[Treaty of Versailles]] should be deleted and, once the edition of the treaty published in USSL has been proofread, replaced with a redirect to that. Once multiple editions of the treaty have been proofread, the wikipage can be turned into a versions page.{{pbr}}The treaty was published in the Australian Treaty Series (1920 No. 1), as well as the United Kingdom Treaty Series (004/1919 / Cmd. 153) and United States Treaty Series (Vol. 2 p.43); and probably in the United States Statutes at Large, although I couldn't find that version just now. All of these or either of them would be acceptable here, but separately and in context (for example, in UKTS ''Versailles'' was published along with a treaty between the UK and France guaranteeing protection to the latter in the event of German aggression).{{pbr}}I think it's probably necessary here to clearly distinguish between ''the Treaty of Versailles'' as a legal construct, and the various editions of ''the text of the Treaty of Versailles''. The legal construct should ideally have an identical interpretation irrespective of text source, and can in fact deviate from the plain meaning of the text if legal interpretation says it means something else. This interpretation can change over time, and can temporarily or permanently become divergent. But in essence, this "true treaty" exists as a meta-entity in the heads of legal scholars and so forth. The ''text'' on the other hand, exists in multiple editions and variants, that are, presumably, identical in terms of the legal construct, but can differ markedly and drastically in bibliographic and historiographic terms. Mostly not in terms of the text of the treaty itself, but perhaps in formatting and layout (unless it's a facsimile) and certainly in context (what addenda and prolegomena it is published with; or perhaps even annotation and commentary inserted into the text itself). The legal construct of the treaty on enWS only corresponds with a versions page (or possibly even a Portal); but it is specific published editions of the text of the treaty that are in scope for us to host. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC) *:[[User:Xover|Xover]]: The United States never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, because of the League of Nations; the [[US–Germany Peace Treaty]] (which ''was'' published in the ''Statutes'') mentions that treaty and incorporates some of its provisions, but the text of the Treaty of Versailles is not to be found in U.S.Stat. I think one consideration which needs to be had here is the number of internal (and external from Wikipedia) links to this copy of the Treaty of Versailles. That is one of the main reasons I proposed keeping and backing to an existing scan: so that all of the links can stay operational. Your thoughts?

The front page is almost entirely original work (apart from a table of contents), partly semi-encyclopedic and partly meta-discussion about the effort itself. Looking at [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] we find some actual translation, but mostly comparisons with a professionally published previous translation (Luce) that is quoted ''extensively'', and translator's commentary that far exceeds the actual translated text itself. It also features a lot of images that obviously do not appear in any original, but have been picked to illustrate a particular point (i.e. how Wikipedia would construct an article). [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 2|Chapter 2]] and onwards are the same, except they lack the extensive quotations from the published translation (Luce), but only because the effort to compare has not reached that point yet. Around Chapter 9 the translation appears incomplete with only the Chinese original text present. Irrespective of the rest of this work, there is a question regarding the extensive quotations from the previous professional translation ([https://hdl.handle.net/1813/57513 link]). It is a 1961 publication with copyright notice, so there is a high probability that it is in copyright (and thus the quotations are also copyvios). I haven't looked at this issue in detail, but if this discussion ends up keeping the work in some form we will have to address that separately (and if it is not in copyright, why are we not transcribing that instead of making our own?). The sole contributor to [[Translation:Manshu]] has a somewhat haphazard approach to copyright (e.g. claiming satellite imagery from Google Maps or similar as "own work") so the issue will have to be checked thoroughly. But all that being said, this is also a great effort and a unique work that really ''should'' exist somewhere. If it were completed I'm certain it could have been professionally published, and it would be a real shame if all the effort that's gone into it was wasted. The contributor has not been active since 2018 (and the last large progress was in 2016), so I don't think it very likely that it will now ever be completed; but if a place is found for it even the partial translation is valuable, and could conceivably be completed by others at some point in the future. If the outcome of this discussion is that it is out of scope we should make a real effort to see whether a project like WikiBooks would be interested, and, if not, rather than simply delete it we should move it to the contributor's user space (a practice I am usually vehemently opposed to but am making an exception in this particular case). In any case, it has kept popping up on my radar for various reasons, and I have always been torn on what to do about its issues. It seems clearly outside of scope per [[WS:WWI]], doesn't meet [[WS:T]], violates [[WS:ANN]], and would most likely need cleanup to meet [[WS:COPY]].

Southeast Asia Program as a title reveals registration of other of these data papers as copyrighted works, but no renewal of this one.

I would say I have spent upwards of 500 hours on this translation. During the time it is alleged that I have been inactive, I was a founding team member at a very important company you would have heard of, and provided some of the earliest COVID map coverage on Wikipedia ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.webm webm] [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.gif gif]). Currently I run seven (7) companies and have a family, so it is fair to say I have 'other commitments'. I do still intend to complete the translation.

Nevertheless, I noticed this deletion attempt by [[User:Xover|Xover]] and would like to respond objectively for the record. If we summarize the alleged issues they are as follows: * '''The translation includes commentary''' ** That is simply because it is a good (ie. transparent/honest) translation. ** Any accredited historian will agree this is a good (positive) feature. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work is incomplete''' ** I am still finishing, I am just ridiculously busy and have been so for five years. ** Incomplete and pending further effort is often simply the nature of voluntary work. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes quotations from previous translations''' ** Fully cited and contextually presented, in academia, this is clearly fair use. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes satellite derived images''' ** These images were constructed with great care based upon detailed context and are both low resolution and substantially original work in themselves. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The translation is done by the contributor and openly licensed instead of being an out of copyright work of someone else which has been uploaded''' ** IMHO as a student of history original translation is *great* to welcome and should be encouraged. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates 'What Wikisource Includes' (WWI) ''' ** Wikisource includes "Works created after 1925" / "Analytical and artistic works". ** Wikisource includes "Translations" ** To be perfectly honest I consider this assertion a truly baseless accusation that I frankly find highly offensive. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''"Doesn't meet" WS:T''' ** Unclear what this means ** The WST page clearly states that original translations are in-scope and acceptable (there is only one prior English translation and it is bad and incorrect) ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates WS:ANN''' ** I have never seen that page before in my life ** Apparently it doesn't like parallel text ** I would suggest strongly that parallel text provides the basis for most high caliber academic translations, it is my view that ''the policy page'' is wrong and further discussion to correct it should occur there. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Requires cleanup to meet WS:COPY''' ** Unsure what this is actually alleging ** Aside from original work there is only contextual quotations from other works in line with an academic translation ** This does not in any way support 'delete'.

I'm not sure why you felt it relevant to mention that you have +sysop on enwp, but since you bring it up… as an admin on enwp you should be well familiar with the need to make policy-based arguments in such discussions and to familiarise oneself with the policy on the project. I have raised several policy-based concerns, and your response addresses none of them. However, to reiterate the challenges:{{pbr}}The text on [[Translation:Manshu]] is not a mere translation of a previously published work. It contains substantial portions of your own analysis, comparisons, and commentary: all of which is ''original'' rather than ''previously published'' content. In enwp terms, think of it as "original research": it's not a perfect analogy, but the problem is similar. This is out of scope for English Wikisource. In addition, you include extensive quotations from the other (professionally published) translation, but that translation is not public domain or compatibly licensed. Fair use content is not permitted on English Wikisource (and even on enWP only in very narrow and limited circumstances), which puts in violation of our licensing policy.{{pbr}}Now, as I wrote above, this is an impressive work and I am sure it is a valuable contribution to the knowledge in that area of study. It just isn't compatible with the policies on Wikisource. In other words, if it is to stay here it will have to be stripped down so that it ''only'' contains the translation, without embellishment, of the original text and all non-public domain elements removed. I imagine that's not your first choice as I get the impression it is the analytical parts of the work that interest you the most. So as an alternative, works such as this may be in scope for [[b:Main Page|WikiBooks]]: their scope explicitly includes original works so long as it falls within their definition of "educational".

However the reason for placing it here on Wikisource in the first place and it is a stand alone extract from a book. If only whole books can exist in this archive and not extracts from a book, then that presents a real problem, as one of the reasons this source site was created was to take extracts that ought not to be placed onto Wikipedia. To take one example "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" does the whole book have to exist on Wikisurce before that extract (about a specific topic, or passage) can be placed on Wikisource? [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes#Excerpts]] is to say the least not clear on this issue. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 16:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC) :@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: Thanks for commenting!{{pbr}}Yes, our written policies are rather less developed than one expects coming from enWP, and rely instead on practice developed over the years. It's really not an approach that's friendly to people for whom enWS is not their primary project, but I've complained about it so much people have started to just nod, smile, and back away slowly when I bring it up. Oh well…{{pbr}}Our basic unit here is the previously published work, in a specific edition. ''God in the Mount'' (1641) is ''a work''. ''The History of Birmingham'' (1835) is ''a work''. The latter includes an excerpt of the former, and [[April the 8th came certain intelligence to London from Brumingham|April the 8th …]] is an excerpt from that. In other words, an excerpt of an excerpt. In a ''citation'' (i.e. on enWP) citing some fragment of info through intermediary sources is fine and often even preferable for reliability, but the goal on enWS is preserving and making available the ''works'' themselves ''as published''. That we have added a scan to back the excerpt does not make it any less of an excerpt; only made possible the production of the whole work. But do I take it then that you have no interest in proofreading the entire work? At a little over 500 pages it isn't insurmountable, and it's not inconceivable that others would be interested in helping out. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC) ::[[User:Xover|Xover]]: if I had unlimited time the I would be only too happy to proofread the book. However I tend to proof read text that is useful for my primary work about topics on Wikipeadia. My concern here is that the extract was a quote of a primary source, if primary sources can only be accessed if the whole of the text in which it is quoted then this is a diminution of the use of both Wikipedia and Wikisource to provide information to readers of articles on Wikipedia. Take for example the quote from Richard I. The original will be in French, and will exist in some archive. There are several translation in reliable secondary sources. The reason for placing an extract from one of those secondary sources is it allows a Wikipedia article on Richard to include the statement "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" with a link to the text on Wikisource. The rest of the book may or may not be worth including here. But the translation of the primary source certainly is. ::Another example which is on my to do list is a further transcribing of "[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna]]" That in itself is a large undertaking and usually Wikipedia articles are only interested in specific articles within the treaties that make up the Final Act. However while I see the use of copying all of the treaties that make up the Final Act, I see no reason in the medium term to copy over and proofread the whole of the sources I am using for that text: ''The Parliamentary Debates from the Year 1803 to the Present Time'', volume 2, 1 Feb to 6 march 1816. Even more so as the text is formatted in a way that make reading it difficult (so I am using a couple of other sources to help with formatting and some minor translation alterations). As I wrote in the introduction to ''[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna/Act I]]'' "This translation was laid before the British Parliament on 2 February 1816, with some additional formatting from the French original." The reason for this is that the French formatting is close to modern English that that used in the Parliamentary translation. ::So I think that you need to consider when suggesting that the whole text of a secondary source is included, whether that is the most useful use of editors time or even if it is desirable when what is most useful for modern use by as [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article titles|:Wikipedia:Article titles]] puts it "The ... description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize." Ie someone interested in (but probably not an expert in) the Napoleonic wars, or the post war concord, may well be interested in the details of the treaties without being in the leaset interested in the Prince Regents speech to the British Parliament at the start of the 1816 session. ::It may be in the future that someone somewhere will want a copy of that speech, but until it is requested (eg via a link from an article on Wikipedia), I think that editors can use their limited time here to support the project in ways that are more help to the someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area. ::-- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 14:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC) :::@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: You need to think of it in terms of things like [[w:WP:NPOV|WP:NPOV]], [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]] and [[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]]: if we allowed arbitrary extracts we would allow selective quotation of whatever subsets of a work supported someone's point of view (maybe [[w:WP:UNDUE|WP:UNDUE]] is an apposite reference?). Our equivalent to [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]] is to make sure works are previously published, and not self-published. For [[w:WP:V|WP:V]] we use proofreading from a scan of the original, rather than just cut&pasting some text from the web somewhere. For example, if you are adding text that is an amalgamation of multiple sources (the text you mentioned as hard to read), or are adding text from one edition but formatting it according to a completely different edition, you are essentially just creating a completely new edition. In analogy, you are violating [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]]/[[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]], [[w:WP:V|WP:V]], and [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]].{{pbr}}We do not require anyone to actually proofread entire publications (they can literally be a lifetime's work in length), but whenever you are looking at something more granular than "book" it ends up being an assessment of whether the text qualifies as a stand-alone ''work'' (think "stand-alone article" or "… list" in enWP terms: [[w:WP:GNG|WP:GNG]]-like assessments apply) or whether it is a mere excerpt from a larger work. A poem of a few lines can certainly qualify as a stand-alone work, but even a full chapter excerpted from a novel would not. Your Richard I example might pass that bar, as it looks like a complete letter or speech (I didn't check its published context; it needs scan-backing and situating within the context of the work within it was published in any case), but the text currently under discussion doesn't because not only is it an excerpt from ''The History of Birmingham'' but it is also in turn an excerpt of ''God in the Mount''.

In December 2015, [[User:Library Guy]] moved the page [[1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] (now a mainspace redirect, which I also disagree with) to [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] with the comment "shouldn't be in main namespace". They are not works at all, nor are they actual sections of the original encyclopedias themselves, so I don't believe they belong in the mainspace. At the very least, the mainspace project disclaimers should be moved to appropriate sections of the project namespace, without redirects being left behind. However, I think these overly specific disclaimers are probably products of another time, when Wikisource was younger and it was being used more so than to-day as an aid and supplement to Wikipedia's efforts. We also have [[Wikisource:General disclaimer]] which (at least in a broader way) covers most of the things said in these pages. I would be fine with just to '''delete''' them. However, I'll leave the interpretation to consensus below. Should the entries be moved to other namespaces, or deleted entirely?

I've never checked the alternative disclaimers cited. They seem too obscure to me. The contents listings for the encyclopedias are also not part of the source. Something should probably be done there. Maybe just {{tl|AuxTOC}} could work somehow. The disclaimers could be moved back to the main namespace with a wrapper of some sort since it seems tough to wrap a redirect. Seems fair to keep around the redirect though since the destination makes things clear.

I will also mention the [[ACAB]] disclaimer has some things that I think are really very necessary for that work. Probably the encyclopedia disclaimers should at least refer to the General discliamer.

These project disclaimers were added a long time ago, and are a part of the project’s set-up. While, strictly speaking, they are not neccessary, I think that, at this point, it would be more detrimental to delete them than to keep them. Certainly, they should not be made now; but I do not think they should be deleted. Any move (across namespaces) would necessitate a cross-namespace redirect, owing to the age of the original name.

Right, they aren't works at all, nor parts of works, in any sense. The mainspace is for ''works'', not entire user-generated pages dedicated to explaining some bits of information about how a work ought to be used, especially when all of those notices are already fundamentally covered by [[WS:General disclaimer]]. Furthermore, the initial question I had has still not been answered. That is, why, specifically, would the removal of these disclaimers in the mainspace be so destructive to the encyclopedia projects? You even admit that "strictly speaking, they are not necessary", so if something isn't necessary, why would deleting it be so detrimental? [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC) ::::*[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: They are not ''as a rule'' necessary, but these in particular have been made necessary ''as an exception'' because of their long use. No, the notices are not covered by the general disclaimer; that is why they are project-specific, and deleting them would entail recourse to the general (and thus not specifically useful) disclaimer, while losing the information of specific relevance to the articles at hand. They generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules regarding “verifiability,” “notability,” and such, I believe; such being the reason for their initial creation. [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 01:14, 12 September 2021 (UTC) {{ping|TE(æ)A,ea.}} Wikipedians copying and referencing material that happens to be in the public domain is nothing new as you say. The entire sum of human media before 1923, and now before 1926, is a pretty wide scope of works after all, which, theoretically, we should have transcribed in its totality at Wikisource. I've seen entire plot summary sections of Wikipedia articles having been copied verbatim from public domain film magazines, for example (as of now, film magazine coverage at Wikisource is incredibly slim, however ''theoretically'' we should have them all). There are a ton of nonfiction works, encyclopedias included but also dictionaries, atlases, certain magazines, textbooks, newspapers, masters' theses, and the list goes on. Any number of these things are copied and/or used at Wikipedia all the time. Should we make mainspace disclaimers specific to these, too? How about I put a page like that in [[The Masses (periodical)]], to make sure that Wikipedians who might use it know that ''The Masses'' purposefully has a socialist slant, and that articles shouldn't be copied to Wikipedia because it's not NPOV? The encyclopedia disclaimers set a bad precedent that way, and I'm a bit worried something like that might be tried one day because of it. And anyway, if "they generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules", that seems like a bad thing to me. Why is that our responsibility? What is done with the information in the encyclopedias at Wikipedia should ''by no means'' be our specific responsibility. We're a very different project from them, and Wikipedians can go to pages like [[Wikisource:For Wikipedians]] to get an idea of that. Furthermore, I disagree that these disclaimer pages are useful even. Let's look at [[Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Project Disclaimer]] as an example. It says: <blockquote>'''Inaccuracies:''' The articles of the 1921 edition of Collier's New Encyclopedia were based upon the information available to the editors and contributors at the time of their original publication in the early 20th century. Changing circumstances and more recent research may have rendered this information obsolete or revealed it to be inaccurate, especially in the areas of science, law, and ethnography. Readers should bear this in mind when using the information.</blockquote> There is an entire section dedicated to this very thing covered by [[WS:GD]], which says for example (while not with the exact wording): <blockquote>[...] we cannot guarantee (in any way whatsoever) the validity of the documents found here. In particular, medical or legal texts on Wikisource may be incorrect or out of date. We suggest contacting a qualified professional for such information.</blockquote> The next section: <blockquote>'''Transcription errors:''' These articles are transcribed from the originals by volunteers, sometimes directly and sometimes by correcting a preliminary OCR conversion. While we strive for perfect accuracy, there may be transcription errors in the articles.</blockquote> What [[WS:GD]] says about the same thing (although the wording isn't very specific so it's easy to misconstrue): <blockquote>[...] material found here may not be reviewed by professionals who are knowledgeable in the particular areas of expertise necessary to ensure the accuracy of the texts.</blockquote> So we can take out those bits because they aren't necessary for an entire separate page. What we're left with is the very first paragraph, which states: <blockquote>'''Title usage:''' Use of the titles Collier's New Encyclopedia or Collier's Encyclopedia is strictly to acknowledge titles used to refer to the edition of 1921 which has gone into the public domain in the United States due to the expiration of its copyright there. Any reference to this material should explicitly note the original date of publication.</blockquote> Trademark law is not mentioned in the general disclaimer. However, at this point all we have is a paragraph, which is enough for just being in the notes section on the header of the encyclopedia work. However, even this trademark law bit ''could'' be mentioned in the general disclaimer, but isn't for some reason. Really, any number of works hosted at Wikisource are probably still protected by trademark in some jurisdictions, and we really shouldn't leave a disclaimer about it on every work that applies to. We should probably mention, in the general disclaimer, that the use of the titles of some works, or the identities of the characters in them, may violate trademark laws in some jurisdictions which is unrelated to copyright. I'd like to end the post by saying that I think much the material in these project disclaimers could be either included or made more specific in the [[WS:General disclaimer]]. I don't like how vague the general disclaimer currently is on many issues, so it certainly could be improved. However, the issues with the general disclaimer does not necessitate the existence of a specific project disclaimer page, in the ''mainspace'' of all places, for every single encyclopedia we have that I know of. I think the improvement of our general disclaimer should be discussed by the way (probably separately to this discussion). [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC) *[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: Many encyclopedias (''e.g.'', ''EB'', ''EA'') are still covered by trademark law, but ''most'' (if not effectively all) books are not. My response to your (rhetorical?) question about ''The Masses'' is the following: No, it should not have a disclaimer, because ''no ''new'' disclaimers should be made''. The maintenance (read: non-deletion) of these project disclaimers harks back to when Wikipedia copied at large from the old encyclopedias, and they noted them back to Wikisource. The disclaimers were added to the projects at the time to facilitate this, and thus, to maintain this ''ad-hoc'' “backwards compatibility,” they should be kept. I disagree with your interpretation above: the ''Collier’s'' disclaimer is more specific than the general disclaimer, and thus is useful. (This is the case with other project disclaimers, as well.) I also believe that the general disclaimer is perfectly functional in its current state: being a ''general'' disclaimer, it doesn’t need excruciating detail. I agree regarding the general disclaimer discussion; for another time, perhaps. (As for the old film magazines, they are quite interesting, but with so many images, it is a daunting prospect.)

In the amount of time I've been active at Wikisource, which would be a couple years at this point, I have ''never even seen'' anything of this template, much less seen it being used. I often patrol recent changes for vandalism and new users who might need help or their edits standardized, and in that time I've never seen the template in use. Yet, [[Template:Welcome]] links to this template still. Not helping the case of <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> is that '''even the template itself''' (not even the documentation but the ''template'') recommends the main point I have against keeping this template around, which is that we have other outlets that are better used for help. We have such fine resources as [[WS:SCH|the Scriptorium help desk]], talk pages of experienced users, an IRC channel, (as of relatively recently) a Discord server, and probably more outlets I'm forgetting to mention, where a user can ask for help. Given that we have these other outlets, having a self-categorizing help template on Wikisource doesn't seem like it's very efficient in practice, at least maybe not anymore. [[Template:Helpme]] got only '''2 pageviews''' in the past 30 days, and the category [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] got '''7 pageviews'''. That's ''pretty bad'' when you compare it to [[:Category:Speedy deletion requests]], a far more useful maintenance category, which got '''314 pageviews''' this month. This illustrates the point that I don't think this category gets enough attention for its stated purpose; I doubt many admins have it bookmarked (maybe I should?). Whatever the case may be, the amount of people specifically patrolling [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] is clearly very scant to none, and a user would get better help by asking for it from another source that would get more attention, like the ones mentioned above. This is especially the case for more complex problems. It's really most likely to be used by editors who recently discovered us through Wikipedia and are thus used to WP's community practices, and many of those practices really ought not be encouraged. Many things Wikipedia does are virtually incompatible with Wikisource simply because we're a smaller community, and they have a ''far'' larger active editor base than we do. If a template is greatly discouraged virtually everywhere, it should probably just be deleted. The better outlets should be highlighted to new contributors as the right way to do it, with [[Template:Helpme]] removed from our welcome template and any other places it remains linked.

I see it used frequently enough, and the category is mentioned through the “recent pages” header listing. I am suprised that you have never seen its use, actually. In addition, the fact that messages sent to such help-related outlets are often ignored makes it desirable to have multiple methods of communication. I believe that the deletion of the “hangon” template was appropriate, because it was never integrated into the Wikisource structure, and its purpose was better accomplished and was actually accomplished by other utilities. However, I believe that the “helpme” template is useful, and its use, though not especially frequent, shows this to be the case.

All of these or either of them would be acceptable here, but separately and in context (for example, in UKTS ''Versailles'' was published along with a treaty between the UK and France guaranteeing protection to the latter in the event of German aggression).{{pbr}}I think it's probably necessary here to clearly distinguish between ''the Treaty of Versailles'' as a legal construct, and the various editions of ''the text of the Treaty of Versailles''. The legal construct should ideally have an identical interpretation irrespective of text source, and can in fact deviate from the plain meaning of the text if legal interpretation says it means something else. This interpretation can change over time, and can temporarily or permanently become divergent. But in essence, this "true treaty" exists as a meta-entity in the heads of legal scholars and so forth. The ''text'' on the other hand, exists in multiple editions and variants, that are, presumably, identical in terms of the legal construct, but can differ markedly and drastically in bibliographic and historiographic terms. Mostly not in terms of the text of the treaty itself, but perhaps in formatting and layout (unless it's a facsimile) and certainly in context (what addenda and prolegomena it is published with; or perhaps even annotation and commentary inserted into the text itself). The legal construct of the treaty on enWS only corresponds with a versions page (or possibly even a Portal); but it is specific published editions of the text of the treaty that are in scope for us to host. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC) *:[[User:Xover|Xover]]: The United States never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, because of the League of Nations; the [[US–Germany Peace Treaty]] (which ''was'' published in the ''Statutes'') mentions that treaty and incorporates some of its provisions, but the text of the Treaty of Versailles is not to be found in U.S.Stat. I think one consideration which needs to be had here is the number of internal (and external from Wikipedia) links to this copy of the Treaty of Versailles. That is one of the main reasons I proposed keeping and backing to an existing scan: so that all of the links can stay operational. Your thoughts?

This translation is based upon a digitized version of the recompiled 1774 movable type edition edited by the 武英 (Palace Museum Library).|q=y}} However, looking at it more closely it appears to be much more an original analytical work than anything that could be shoehorned to fit within our definition of a mere translation. The front page is almost entirely original work (apart from a table of contents), partly semi-encyclopedic and partly meta-discussion about the effort itself. Looking at [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] we find some actual translation, but mostly comparisons with a professionally published previous translation (Luce) that is quoted ''extensively'', and translator's commentary that far exceeds the actual translated text itself. It also features a lot of images that obviously do not appear in any original, but have been picked to illustrate a particular point (i.e. how Wikipedia would construct an article). [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 2|Chapter 2]] and onwards are the same, except they lack the extensive quotations from the published translation (Luce), but only because the effort to compare has not reached that point yet. Around Chapter 9 the translation appears incomplete with only the Chinese original text present. Irrespective of the rest of this work, there is a question regarding the extensive quotations from the previous professional translation ([https://hdl.handle.net/1813/57513 link]). It is a 1961 publication with copyright notice, so there is a high probability that it is in copyright (and thus the quotations are also copyvios). I haven't looked at this issue in detail, but if this discussion ends up keeping the work in some form we will have to address that separately (and if it is not in copyright, why are we not transcribing that instead of making our own?). The sole contributor to [[Translation:Manshu]] has a somewhat haphazard approach to copyright (e.g. claiming satellite imagery from Google Maps or similar as "own work") so the issue will have to be checked thoroughly. But all that being said, this is also a great effort and a unique work that really ''should'' exist somewhere. If it were completed I'm certain it could have been professionally published, and it would be a real shame if all the effort that's gone into it was wasted. The contributor has not been active since 2018 (and the last large progress was in 2016), so I don't think it very likely that it will now ever be completed; but if a place is found for it even the partial translation is valuable, and could conceivably be completed by others at some point in the future. If the outcome of this discussion is that it is out of scope we should make a real effort to see whether a project like WikiBooks would be interested, and, if not, rather than simply delete it we should move it to the contributor's user space (a practice I am usually vehemently opposed to but am making an exception in this particular case). In any case, it has kept popping up on my radar for various reasons, and I have always been torn on what to do about its issues. It seems clearly outside of scope per [[WS:WWI]], doesn't meet [[WS:T]], violates [[WS:ANN]], and would most likely need cleanup to meet [[WS:COPY]].

Southeast Asia Program as a title reveals registration of other of these data papers as copyrighted works, but no renewal of this one.

I would say I have spent upwards of 500 hours on this translation. During the time it is alleged that I have been inactive, I was a founding team member at a very important company you would have heard of, and provided some of the earliest COVID map coverage on Wikipedia ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.webm webm] [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.gif gif]). Currently I run seven (7) companies and have a family, so it is fair to say I have 'other commitments'. I do still intend to complete the translation. Aside from time constraints, partly I have not been active on Wiki projects recently because I am living in China and this makes editing Wikiprojects a massive hassle due to the requirement for a VPN. Nevertheless, I noticed this deletion attempt by [[User:Xover|Xover]] and would like to respond objectively for the record. If we summarize the alleged issues they are as follows: * '''The translation includes commentary''' ** That is simply because it is a good (ie. transparent/honest) translation. ** Any accredited historian will agree this is a good (positive) feature. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work is incomplete''' ** I am still finishing, I am just ridiculously busy and have been so for five years. ** Incomplete and pending further effort is often simply the nature of voluntary work. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes quotations from previous translations''' ** Fully cited and contextually presented, in academia, this is clearly fair use. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes satellite derived images''' ** These images were constructed with great care based upon detailed context and are both low resolution and substantially original work in themselves. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The translation is done by the contributor and openly licensed instead of being an out of copyright work of someone else which has been uploaded''' ** IMHO as a student of history original translation is *great* to welcome and should be encouraged. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates 'What Wikisource Includes' (WWI) ''' ** Wikisource includes "Works created after 1925" / "Analytical and artistic works". ** Wikisource includes "Translations" ** To be perfectly honest I consider this assertion a truly baseless accusation that I frankly find highly offensive. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''"Doesn't meet" WS:T''' ** Unclear what this means ** The WST page clearly states that original translations are in-scope and acceptable (there is only one prior English translation and it is bad and incorrect) ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates WS:ANN''' ** I have never seen that page before in my life ** Apparently it doesn't like parallel text ** I would suggest strongly that parallel text provides the basis for most high caliber academic translations, it is my view that ''the policy page'' is wrong and further discussion to correct it should occur there. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Requires cleanup to meet WS:COPY''' ** Unsure what this is actually alleging ** Aside from original work there is only contextual quotations from other works in line with an academic translation ** This does not in any way support 'delete'.

I'm not sure why you felt it relevant to mention that you have +sysop on enwp, but since you bring it up… as an admin on enwp you should be well familiar with the need to make policy-based arguments in such discussions and to familiarise oneself with the policy on the project. I have raised several policy-based concerns, and your response addresses none of them. However, to reiterate the challenges:{{pbr}}The text on [[Translation:Manshu]] is not a mere translation of a previously published work. It contains substantial portions of your own analysis, comparisons, and commentary: all of which is ''original'' rather than ''previously published'' content. In enwp terms, think of it as "original research": it's not a perfect analogy, but the problem is similar. This is out of scope for English Wikisource. In addition, you include extensive quotations from the other (professionally published) translation, but that translation is not public domain or compatibly licensed. Fair use content is not permitted on English Wikisource (and even on enWP only in very narrow and limited circumstances), which puts in violation of our licensing policy.{{pbr}}Now, as I wrote above, this is an impressive work and I am sure it is a valuable contribution to the knowledge in that area of study. It just isn't compatible with the policies on Wikisource.

However the reason for placing it here on Wikisource in the first place and it is a stand alone extract from a book. If only whole books can exist in this archive and not extracts from a book, then that presents a real problem, as one of the reasons this source site was created was to take extracts that ought not to be placed onto Wikipedia. To take one example "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" does the whole book have to exist on Wikisurce before that extract (about a specific topic, or passage) can be placed on Wikisource? [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes#Excerpts]] is to say the least not clear on this issue. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 16:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC) :@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: Thanks for commenting!{{pbr}}Yes, our written policies are rather less developed than one expects coming from enWP, and rely instead on practice developed over the years. It's really not an approach that's friendly to people for whom enWS is not their primary project, but I've complained about it so much people have started to just nod, smile, and back away slowly when I bring it up. Oh well…{{pbr}}Our basic unit here is the previously published work, in a specific edition. ''God in the Mount'' (1641) is ''a work''. ''The History of Birmingham'' (1835) is ''a work''. The latter includes an excerpt of the former, and [[April the 8th came certain intelligence to London from Brumingham|April the 8th …]] is an excerpt from that. In other words, an excerpt of an excerpt. In a ''citation'' (i.e. on enWP) citing some fragment of info through intermediary sources is fine and often even preferable for reliability, but the goal on enWS is preserving and making available the ''works'' themselves ''as published''. That we have added a scan to back the excerpt does not make it any less of an excerpt; only made possible the production of the whole work. But do I take it then that you have no interest in proofreading the entire work? At a little over 500 pages it isn't insurmountable, and it's not inconceivable that others would be interested in helping out. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC) ::[[User:Xover|Xover]]: if I had unlimited time the I would be only too happy to proofread the book. However I tend to proof read text that is useful for my primary work about topics on Wikipeadia. My concern here is that the extract was a quote of a primary source, if primary sources can only be accessed if the whole of the text in which it is quoted then this is a diminution of the use of both Wikipedia and Wikisource to provide information to readers of articles on Wikipedia. Take for example the quote from Richard I. The original will be in French, and will exist in some archive. There are several translation in reliable secondary sources. The reason for placing an extract from one of those secondary sources is it allows a Wikipedia article on Richard to include the statement "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" with a link to the text on Wikisource. The rest of the book may or may not be worth including here. But the translation of the primary source certainly is. ::Another example which is on my to do list is a further transcribing of "[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna]]" That in itself is a large undertaking and usually Wikipedia articles are only interested in specific articles within the treaties that make up the Final Act. However while I see the use of copying all of the treaties that make up the Final Act, I see no reason in the medium term to copy over and proofread the whole of the sources I am using for that text: ''The Parliamentary Debates from the Year 1803 to the Present Time'', volume 2, 1 Feb to 6 march 1816. Even more so as the text is formatted in a way that make reading it difficult (so I am using a couple of other sources to help with formatting and some minor translation alterations). As I wrote in the introduction to ''[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna/Act I]]'' "This translation was laid before the British Parliament on 2 February 1816, with some additional formatting from the French original." The reason for this is that the French formatting is close to modern English that that used in the Parliamentary translation. ::So I think that you need to consider when suggesting that the whole text of a secondary source is included, whether that is the most useful use of editors time or even if it is desirable when what is most useful for modern use by as [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article titles|:Wikipedia:Article titles]] puts it "The ... description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize." Ie someone interested in (but probably not an expert in) the Napoleonic wars, or the post war concord, may well be interested in the details of the treaties without being in the leaset interested in the Prince Regents speech to the British Parliament at the start of the 1816 session. ::It may be in the future that someone somewhere will want a copy of that speech, but until it is requested (eg via a link from an article on Wikipedia), I think that editors can use their limited time here to support the project in ways that are more help to the someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area. ::-- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 14:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC) :::@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: You need to think of it in terms of things like [[w:WP:NPOV|WP:NPOV]], [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]] and [[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]]: if we allowed arbitrary extracts we would allow selective quotation of whatever subsets of a work supported someone's point of view (maybe [[w:WP:UNDUE|WP:UNDUE]] is an apposite reference?). Our equivalent to [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]] is to make sure works are previously published, and not self-published. For [[w:WP:V|WP:V]] we use proofreading from a scan of the original, rather than just cut&pasting some text from the web somewhere. For example, if you are adding text that is an amalgamation of multiple sources (the text you mentioned as hard to read), or are adding text from one edition but formatting it according to a completely different edition, you are essentially just creating a completely new edition. In analogy, you are violating [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]]/[[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]], [[w:WP:V|WP:V]], and [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]].{{pbr}}We do not require anyone to actually proofread entire publications (they can literally be a lifetime's work in length), but whenever you are looking at something more granular than "book" it ends up being an assessment of whether the text qualifies as a stand-alone ''work'' (think "stand-alone article" or "… list" in enWP terms: [[w:WP:GNG|WP:GNG]]-like assessments apply) or whether it is a mere excerpt from a larger work. A poem of a few lines can certainly qualify as a stand-alone work, but even a full chapter excerpted from a novel would not. Your Richard I example might pass that bar, as it looks like a complete letter or speech (I didn't check its published context; it needs scan-backing and situating within the context of the work within it was published in any case), but the text currently under discussion doesn't because not only is it an excerpt from ''The History of Birmingham'' but it is also in turn an excerpt of ''God in the Mount''.

In December 2015, [[User:Library Guy]] moved the page [[1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] (now a mainspace redirect, which I also disagree with) to [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Project Disclaimer]] with the comment "shouldn't be in main namespace". They are not works at all, nor are they actual sections of the original encyclopedias themselves, so I don't believe they belong in the mainspace. At the very least, the mainspace project disclaimers should be moved to appropriate sections of the project namespace, without redirects being left behind. However, I think these overly specific disclaimers are probably products of another time, when Wikisource was younger and it was being used more so than to-day as an aid and supplement to Wikipedia's efforts. We also have [[Wikisource:General disclaimer]] which (at least in a broader way) covers most of the things said in these pages. I would be fine with just to '''delete''' them. However, I'll leave the interpretation to consensus below. Should the entries be moved to other namespaces, or deleted entirely?

Maybe something like {{tl|AuxTOC}} can be used to wrap the disclosures. I imagine the information is available elsewhere, but I think it is good idea to make the disclaimer information more immediately available for the encyclopedia projects. I've never checked the alternative disclaimers cited. They seem too obscure to me. The contents listings for the encyclopedias are also not part of the source. Something should probably be done there. Maybe just {{tl|AuxTOC}} could work somehow. The disclaimers could be moved back to the main namespace with a wrapper of some sort since it seems tough to wrap a redirect. Seems fair to keep around the redirect though since the destination makes things clear.

I like the current solution better than the wrapper for the disclaimer. The wrapper solution ({{tl|AuxTOC}}) would work better for the tables of contents. It is widely used. I will also mention the [[ACAB]] disclaimer has some things that I think are really very necessary for that work. Probably the encyclopedia disclaimers should at least refer to the General discliamer.

These project disclaimers were added a long time ago, and are a part of the project’s set-up. While, strictly speaking, they are not neccessary, I think that, at this point, it would be more detrimental to delete them than to keep them. Certainly, they should not be made now; but I do not think they should be deleted. Any move (across namespaces) would necessitate a cross-namespace redirect, owing to the age of the original name.

Age alone isn't a reason to keep—there are lots of old relics that we've deleted at WS:PD.

Right, they aren't works at all, nor parts of works, in any sense. The mainspace is for ''works'', not entire user-generated pages dedicated to explaining some bits of information about how a work ought to be used, especially when all of those notices are already fundamentally covered by [[WS:General disclaimer]]. Furthermore, the initial question I had has still not been answered. That is, why, specifically, would the removal of these disclaimers in the mainspace be so destructive to the encyclopedia projects? You even admit that "strictly speaking, they are not necessary", so if something isn't necessary, why would deleting it be so detrimental? [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC) ::::*[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: They are not ''as a rule'' necessary, but these in particular have been made necessary ''as an exception'' because of their long use. No, the notices are not covered by the general disclaimer; that is why they are project-specific, and deleting them would entail recourse to the general (and thus not specifically useful) disclaimer, while losing the information of specific relevance to the articles at hand. They generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules regarding “verifiability,” “notability,” and such, I believe; such being the reason for their initial creation. [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 01:14, 12 September 2021 (UTC) {{ping|TE(æ)A,ea.}} Wikipedians copying and referencing material that happens to be in the public domain is nothing new as you say. The entire sum of human media before 1923, and now before 1926, is a pretty wide scope of works after all, which, theoretically, we should have transcribed in its totality at Wikisource. I've seen entire plot summary sections of Wikipedia articles having been copied verbatim from public domain film magazines, for example (as of now, film magazine coverage at Wikisource is incredibly slim, however ''theoretically'' we should have them all). There are a ton of nonfiction works, encyclopedias included but also dictionaries, atlases, certain magazines, textbooks, newspapers, masters' theses, and the list goes on. Any number of these things are copied and/or used at Wikipedia all the time. Should we make mainspace disclaimers specific to these, too? How about I put a page like that in [[The Masses (periodical)]], to make sure that Wikipedians who might use it know that ''The Masses'' purposefully has a socialist slant, and that articles shouldn't be copied to Wikipedia because it's not NPOV? The encyclopedia disclaimers set a bad precedent that way, and I'm a bit worried something like that might be tried one day because of it. And anyway, if "they generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules", that seems like a bad thing to me. Why is that our responsibility? What is done with the information in the encyclopedias at Wikipedia should ''by no means'' be our specific responsibility. We're a very different project from them, and Wikipedians can go to pages like [[Wikisource:For Wikipedians]] to get an idea of that. Furthermore, I disagree that these disclaimer pages are useful even. Let's look at [[Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Project Disclaimer]] as an example. It says: <blockquote>'''Inaccuracies:''' The articles of the 1921 edition of Collier's New Encyclopedia were based upon the information available to the editors and contributors at the time of their original publication in the early 20th century. Changing circumstances and more recent research may have rendered this information obsolete or revealed it to be inaccurate, especially in the areas of science, law, and ethnography. Readers should bear this in mind when using the information.</blockquote> There is an entire section dedicated to this very thing covered by [[WS:GD]], which says for example (while not with the exact wording): <blockquote>[...] we cannot guarantee (in any way whatsoever) the validity of the documents found here. In particular, medical or legal texts on Wikisource may be incorrect or out of date. We suggest contacting a qualified professional for such information.</blockquote> The next section: <blockquote>'''Transcription errors:''' These articles are transcribed from the originals by volunteers, sometimes directly and sometimes by correcting a preliminary OCR conversion. While we strive for perfect accuracy, there may be transcription errors in the articles.</blockquote> What [[WS:GD]] says about the same thing (although the wording isn't very specific so it's easy to misconstrue): <blockquote>[...] material found here may not be reviewed by professionals who are knowledgeable in the particular areas of expertise necessary to ensure the accuracy of the texts.</blockquote> So we can take out those bits because they aren't necessary for an entire separate page. What we're left with is the very first paragraph, which states: <blockquote>'''Title usage:''' Use of the titles Collier's New Encyclopedia or Collier's Encyclopedia is strictly to acknowledge titles used to refer to the edition of 1921 which has gone into the public domain in the United States due to the expiration of its copyright there. Any reference to this material should explicitly note the original date of publication.</blockquote> Trademark law is not mentioned in the general disclaimer. However, at this point all we have is a paragraph, which is enough for just being in the notes section on the header of the encyclopedia work. However, even this trademark law bit ''could'' be mentioned in the general disclaimer, but isn't for some reason. Really, any number of works hosted at Wikisource are probably still protected by trademark in some jurisdictions, and we really shouldn't leave a disclaimer about it on every work that applies to. We should probably mention, in the general disclaimer, that the use of the titles of some works, or the identities of the characters in them, may violate trademark laws in some jurisdictions which is unrelated to copyright. I'd like to end the post by saying that I think much the material in these project disclaimers could be either included or made more specific in the [[WS:General disclaimer]]. I don't like how vague the general disclaimer currently is on many issues, so it certainly could be improved. However, the issues with the general disclaimer does not necessitate the existence of a specific project disclaimer page, in the ''mainspace'' of all places, for every single encyclopedia we have that I know of. I think the improvement of our general disclaimer should be discussed by the way (probably separately to this discussion). [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC) *[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: Many encyclopedias (''e.g.'', ''EB'', ''EA'') are still covered by trademark law, but ''most'' (if not effectively all) books are not. My response to your (rhetorical?) question about ''The Masses'' is the following: No, it should not have a disclaimer, because ''no ''new'' disclaimers should be made''. The maintenance (read: non-deletion) of these project disclaimers harks back to when Wikipedia copied at large from the old encyclopedias, and they noted them back to Wikisource. The disclaimers were added to the projects at the time to facilitate this, and thus, to maintain this ''ad-hoc'' “backwards compatibility,” they should be kept. I disagree with your interpretation above: the ''Collier’s'' disclaimer is more specific than the general disclaimer, and thus is useful. (This is the case with other project disclaimers, as well.) I also believe that the general disclaimer is perfectly functional in its current state: being a ''general'' disclaimer, it doesn’t need excruciating detail. I agree regarding the general disclaimer discussion; for another time, perhaps. (As for the old film magazines, they are quite interesting, but with so many images, it is a daunting prospect.)

In the amount of time I've been active at Wikisource, which would be a couple years at this point, I have ''never even seen'' anything of this template, much less seen it being used. I often patrol recent changes for vandalism and new users who might need help or their edits standardized, and in that time I've never seen the template in use. Yet, [[Template:Welcome]] links to this template still. Not helping the case of <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> is that '''even the template itself''' (not even the documentation but the ''template'') recommends the main point I have against keeping this template around, which is that we have other outlets that are better used for help. We have such fine resources as [[WS:SCH|the Scriptorium help desk]], talk pages of experienced users, an IRC channel, (as of relatively recently) a Discord server, and probably more outlets I'm forgetting to mention, where a user can ask for help. Given that we have these other outlets, having a self-categorizing help template on Wikisource doesn't seem like it's very efficient in practice, at least maybe not anymore. [[Template:Helpme]] got only '''2 pageviews''' in the past 30 days, and the category [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] got '''7 pageviews'''. That's ''pretty bad'' when you compare it to [[:Category:Speedy deletion requests]], a far more useful maintenance category, which got '''314 pageviews''' this month. This illustrates the point that I don't think this category gets enough attention for its stated purpose; I doubt many admins have it bookmarked (maybe I should?). Whatever the case may be, the amount of people specifically patrolling [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] is clearly very scant to none, and a user would get better help by asking for it from another source that would get more attention, like the ones mentioned above. This is especially the case for more complex problems. It's really most likely to be used by editors who recently discovered us through Wikipedia and are thus used to WP's community practices, and many of those practices really ought not be encouraged. Many things Wikipedia does are virtually incompatible with Wikisource simply because we're a smaller community, and they have a ''far'' larger active editor base than we do. If a template is greatly discouraged virtually everywhere, it should probably just be deleted. The better outlets should be highlighted to new contributors as the right way to do it, with [[Template:Helpme]] removed from our welcome template and any other places it remains linked.

I see it used frequently enough, and the category is mentioned through the “recent pages” header listing. I am suprised that you have never seen its use, actually. In addition, the fact that messages sent to such help-related outlets are often ignored makes it desirable to have multiple methods of communication. I believe that the deletion of the “hangon” template was appropriate, because it was never integrated into the Wikisource structure, and its purpose was better accomplished and was actually accomplished by other utilities. However, I believe that the “helpme” template is useful, and its use, though not especially frequent, shows this to be the case.

All of these or either of them would be acceptable here, but separately and in context (for example, in UKTS ''Versailles'' was published along with a treaty between the UK and France guaranteeing protection to the latter in the event of German aggression).{{pbr}}I think it's probably necessary here to clearly distinguish between ''the Treaty of Versailles'' as a legal construct, and the various editions of ''the text of the Treaty of Versailles''. The legal construct should ideally have an identical interpretation irrespective of text source, and can in fact deviate from the plain meaning of the text if legal interpretation says it means something else. This interpretation can change over time, and can temporarily or permanently become divergent. But in essence, this "true treaty" exists as a meta-entity in the heads of legal scholars and so forth. The ''text'' on the other hand, exists in multiple editions and variants, that are, presumably, identical in terms of the legal construct, but can differ markedly and drastically in bibliographic and historiographic terms. Mostly not in terms of the text of the treaty itself, but perhaps in formatting and layout (unless it's a facsimile) and certainly in context (what addenda and prolegomena it is published with; or perhaps even annotation and commentary inserted into the text itself).

This translation is based upon a digitized version of the recompiled 1774 movable type edition edited by the 武英 (Palace Museum Library).|q=y}} However, looking at it more closely it appears to be much more an original analytical work than anything that could be shoehorned to fit within our definition of a mere translation. The front page is almost entirely original work (apart from a table of contents), partly semi-encyclopedic and partly meta-discussion about the effort itself. Looking at [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 1|Chapter 1]] we find some actual translation, but mostly comparisons with a professionally published previous translation (Luce) that is quoted ''extensively'', and translator's commentary that far exceeds the actual translated text itself. It also features a lot of images that obviously do not appear in any original, but have been picked to illustrate a particular point (i.e. how Wikipedia would construct an article). [[Translation:Manshu/Chapter 2|Chapter 2]] and onwards are the same, except they lack the extensive quotations from the published translation (Luce), but only because the effort to compare has not reached that point yet. Around Chapter 9 the translation appears incomplete with only the Chinese original text present. Irrespective of the rest of this work, there is a question regarding the extensive quotations from the previous professional translation ([https://hdl.handle.net/1813/57513 link]). It is a 1961 publication with copyright notice, so there is a high probability that it is in copyright (and thus the quotations are also copyvios). I haven't looked at this issue in detail, but if this discussion ends up keeping the work in some form we will have to address that separately (and if it is not in copyright, why are we not transcribing that instead of making our own?). The sole contributor to [[Translation:Manshu]] has a somewhat haphazard approach to copyright (e.g. claiming satellite imagery from Google Maps or similar as "own work") so the issue will have to be checked thoroughly. But all that being said, this is also a great effort and a unique work that really ''should'' exist somewhere. If it were completed I'm certain it could have been professionally published, and it would be a real shame if all the effort that's gone into it was wasted. The contributor has not been active since 2018 (and the last large progress was in 2016), so I don't think it very likely that it will now ever be completed; but if a place is found for it even the partial translation is valuable, and could conceivably be completed by others at some point in the future. If the outcome of this discussion is that it is out of scope we should make a real effort to see whether a project like WikiBooks would be interested, and, if not, rather than simply delete it we should move it to the contributor's user space (a practice I am usually vehemently opposed to but am making an exception in this particular case). In any case, it has kept popping up on my radar for various reasons, and I have always been torn on what to do about its issues. It seems clearly outside of scope per [[WS:WWI]], doesn't meet [[WS:T]], violates [[WS:ANN]], and would most likely need cleanup to meet [[WS:COPY]].

Southeast Asia Program as a title reveals registration of other of these data papers as copyrighted works, but no renewal of this one. This suggests the copyright was never renewed on the Luce translation (possibly this is not surprising, as these weren't exactly blockbusters...) and it is now public domain, judging by [[Help:Public domain#ref renewal]].

[[User:Dingolover6969|Dingolover6969]] ([[User talk:Dingolover6969|talk]]) 11:39, 21 January 2022 (UTC) ===Response by author=== Hi there, I am the primary author, an admin on English Wikipedia. I would say I have spent upwards of 500 hours on this translation. During the time it is alleged that I have been inactive, I was a founding team member at a very important company you would have heard of, and provided some of the earliest COVID map coverage on Wikipedia ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.webm webm] [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COVID-19_Confirmed_Cases_Animated_Map.gif gif]). Currently I run seven (7) companies and have a family, so it is fair to say I have 'other commitments'. I do still intend to complete the translation. Aside from time constraints, partly I have not been active on Wiki projects recently because I am living in China and this makes editing Wikiprojects a massive hassle due to the requirement for a VPN. Nevertheless, I noticed this deletion attempt by [[User:Xover|Xover]] and would like to respond objectively for the record. If we summarize the alleged issues they are as follows: * '''The translation includes commentary''' ** That is simply because it is a good (ie. transparent/honest) translation. ** Any accredited historian will agree this is a good (positive) feature. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work is incomplete''' ** I am still finishing, I am just ridiculously busy and have been so for five years. ** Incomplete and pending further effort is often simply the nature of voluntary work. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes quotations from previous translations''' ** Fully cited and contextually presented, in academia, this is clearly fair use. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The work includes satellite derived images''' ** These images were constructed with great care based upon detailed context and are both low resolution and substantially original work in themselves. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''The translation is done by the contributor and openly licensed instead of being an out of copyright work of someone else which has been uploaded''' ** IMHO as a student of history original translation is *great* to welcome and should be encouraged. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates 'What Wikisource Includes' (WWI) ''' ** Wikisource includes "Works created after 1925" / "Analytical and artistic works". ** Wikisource includes "Translations" ** To be perfectly honest I consider this assertion a truly baseless accusation that I frankly find highly offensive. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''"Doesn't meet" WS:T''' ** Unclear what this means ** The WST page clearly states that original translations are in-scope and acceptable (there is only one prior English translation and it is bad and incorrect) ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Violates WS:ANN''' ** I have never seen that page before in my life ** Apparently it doesn't like parallel text ** I would suggest strongly that parallel text provides the basis for most high caliber academic translations, it is my view that ''the policy page'' is wrong and further discussion to correct it should occur there. ** This does not in any way support 'delete'. * '''Requires cleanup to meet WS:COPY''' ** Unsure what this is actually alleging ** Aside from original work there is only contextual quotations from other works in line with an academic translation ** This does not in any way support 'delete'.

I'm not sure why you felt it relevant to mention that you have +sysop on enwp, but since you bring it up… as an admin on enwp you should be well familiar with the need to make policy-based arguments in such discussions and to familiarise oneself with the policy on the project. I have raised several policy-based concerns, and your response addresses none of them. However, to reiterate the challenges:{{pbr}}The text on [[Translation:Manshu]] is not a mere translation of a previously published work. It contains substantial portions of your own analysis, comparisons, and commentary: all of which is ''original'' rather than ''previously published'' content. In enwp terms, think of it as "original research": it's not a perfect analogy, but the problem is similar. This is out of scope for English Wikisource. In addition, you include extensive quotations from the other (professionally published) translation, but that translation is not public domain or compatibly licensed. Fair use content is not permitted on English Wikisource (and even on enWP only in very narrow and limited circumstances), which puts in violation of our licensing policy.{{pbr}}Now, as I wrote above, this is an impressive work and I am sure it is a valuable contribution to the knowledge in that area of study. It just isn't compatible with the policies on Wikisource. In other words, if it is to stay here it will have to be stripped down so that it ''only'' contains the translation, without embellishment, of the original text and all non-public domain elements removed. I imagine that's not your first choice as I get the impression it is the analytical parts of the work that interest you the most. So as an alternative, works such as this may be in scope for [[b:Main Page|WikiBooks]]: their scope explicitly includes original works so long as it falls within their definition of "educational".

However the reason for placing it here on Wikisource in the first place and it is a stand alone extract from a book. If only whole books can exist in this archive and not extracts from a book, then that presents a real problem, as one of the reasons this source site was created was to take extracts that ought not to be placed onto Wikipedia. To take one example "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" does the whole book have to exist on Wikisurce before that extract (about a specific topic, or passage) can be placed on Wikisource? [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes#Excerpts]] is to say the least not clear on this issue. -- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 16:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC) :@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: Thanks for commenting!{{pbr}}Yes, our written policies are rather less developed than one expects coming from enWP, and rely instead on practice developed over the years. It's really not an approach that's friendly to people for whom enWS is not their primary project, but I've complained about it so much people have started to just nod, smile, and back away slowly when I bring it up. Oh well…{{pbr}}Our basic unit here is the previously published work, in a specific edition. ''God in the Mount'' (1641) is ''a work''. ''The History of Birmingham'' (1835) is ''a work''. The latter includes an excerpt of the former, and [[April the 8th came certain intelligence to London from Brumingham|April the 8th …]] is an excerpt from that. In other words, an excerpt of an excerpt. In a ''citation'' (i.e. on enWP) citing some fragment of info through intermediary sources is fine and often even preferable for reliability, but the goal on enWS is preserving and making available the ''works'' themselves ''as published''. That we have added a scan to back the excerpt does not make it any less of an excerpt; only made possible the production of the whole work. But do I take it then that you have no interest in proofreading the entire work? At a little over 500 pages it isn't insurmountable, and it's not inconceivable that others would be interested in helping out. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC) ::[[User:Xover|Xover]]: if I had unlimited time the I would be only too happy to proofread the book. However I tend to proof read text that is useful for my primary work about topics on Wikipeadia. My concern here is that the extract was a quote of a primary source, if primary sources can only be accessed if the whole of the text in which it is quoted then this is a diminution of the use of both Wikipedia and Wikisource to provide information to readers of articles on Wikipedia. Take for example the quote from Richard I. The original will be in French, and will exist in some archive. There are several translation in reliable secondary sources. The reason for placing an extract from one of those secondary sources is it allows a Wikipedia article on Richard to include the statement "[[I am born in a rank which recognizes no superior but God]]" with a link to the text on Wikisource. The rest of the book may or may not be worth including here. But the translation of the primary source certainly is. ::Another example which is on my to do list is a further transcribing of "[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna]]" That in itself is a large undertaking and usually Wikipedia articles are only interested in specific articles within the treaties that make up the Final Act. However while I see the use of copying all of the treaties that make up the Final Act, I see no reason in the medium term to copy over and proofread the whole of the sources I am using for that text: ''The Parliamentary Debates from the Year 1803 to the Present Time'', volume 2, 1 Feb to 6 march 1816. Even more so as the text is formatted in a way that make reading it difficult (so I am using a couple of other sources to help with formatting and some minor translation alterations). As I wrote in the introduction to ''[[Final Act of the Congress of Vienna/Act I]]'' "This translation was laid before the British Parliament on 2 February 1816, with some additional formatting from the French original." The reason for this is that the French formatting is close to modern English that that used in the Parliamentary translation. ::So I think that you need to consider when suggesting that the whole text of a secondary source is included, whether that is the most useful use of editors time or even if it is desirable when what is most useful for modern use by as [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article titles|:Wikipedia:Article titles]] puts it "The ... description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize." Ie someone interested in (but probably not an expert in) the Napoleonic wars, or the post war concord, may well be interested in the details of the treaties without being in the leaset interested in the Prince Regents speech to the British Parliament at the start of the 1816 session. ::It may be in the future that someone somewhere will want a copy of that speech, but until it is requested (eg via a link from an article on Wikipedia), I think that editors can use their limited time here to support the project in ways that are more help to the someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area. ::-- [[User:PBS|PBS]] ([[User talk:PBS|talk]]) 14:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC) :::@[[User:PBS|PBS]]: You need to think of it in terms of things like [[w:WP:NPOV|WP:NPOV]], [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]] and [[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]]: if we allowed arbitrary extracts we would allow selective quotation of whatever subsets of a work supported someone's point of view (maybe [[w:WP:UNDUE|WP:UNDUE]] is an apposite reference?). Our equivalent to [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]] is to make sure works are previously published, and not self-published. For [[w:WP:V|WP:V]] we use proofreading from a scan of the original, rather than just cut&pasting some text from the web somewhere. For example, if you are adding text that is an amalgamation of multiple sources (the text you mentioned as hard to read), or are adding text from one edition but formatting it according to a completely different edition, you are essentially just creating a completely new edition. In analogy, you are violating [[w:WP:NOR|WP:NOR]]/[[w:WP:SYN|WP:SYN]], [[w:WP:V|WP:V]], and [[w:WP:RS|WP:RS]].{{pbr}}We do not require anyone to actually proofread entire publications (they can literally be a lifetime's work in length), but whenever you are looking at something more granular than "book" it ends up being an assessment of whether the text qualifies as a stand-alone ''work'' (think "stand-alone article" or "… list" in enWP terms: [[w:WP:GNG|WP:GNG]]-like assessments apply) or whether it is a mere excerpt from a larger work. A poem of a few lines can certainly qualify as a stand-alone work, but even a full chapter excerpted from a novel would not. Your Richard I example might pass that bar, as it looks like a complete letter or speech (I didn't check its published context; it needs scan-backing and situating within the context of the work within it was published in any case), but the text currently under discussion doesn't because not only is it an excerpt from ''The History of Birmingham'' but it is also in turn an excerpt of ''God in the Mount''.

Maybe something like {{tl|AuxTOC}} can be used to wrap the disclosures. I imagine the information is available elsewhere, but I think it is good idea to make the disclaimer information more immediately available for the encyclopedia projects. I've never checked the alternative disclaimers cited. They seem too obscure to me. The contents listings for the encyclopedias are also not part of the source. Something should probably be done there. Maybe just {{tl|AuxTOC}} could work somehow. The disclaimers could be moved back to the main namespace with a wrapper of some sort since it seems tough to wrap a redirect. Seems fair to keep around the redirect though since the destination makes things clear.

I like the current solution better than the wrapper for the disclaimer. The wrapper solution ({{tl|AuxTOC}}) would work better for the tables of contents. It is widely used. I will also mention the [[ACAB]] disclaimer has some things that I think are really very necessary for that work. Probably the encyclopedia disclaimers should at least refer to the General discliamer. [[User:Bob Burkhardt|Bob Burkhardt]] ([[User talk:Bob Burkhardt|talk]]) 17:17, 12 September 2021 (UTC) *'''Oppose.''' These project disclaimers were added a long time ago, and are a part of the project’s set-up. While, strictly speaking, they are not neccessary, I think that, at this point, it would be more detrimental to delete them than to keep them. Certainly, they should not be made now; but I do not think they should be deleted. Any move (across namespaces) would necessitate a cross-namespace redirect, owing to the age of the original name.

Age alone isn't a reason to keep—there are lots of old relics that we've deleted at WS:PD.

Right, they aren't works at all, nor parts of works, in any sense. The mainspace is for ''works'', not entire user-generated pages dedicated to explaining some bits of information about how a work ought to be used, especially when all of those notices are already fundamentally covered by [[WS:General disclaimer]]. Furthermore, the initial question I had has still not been answered. That is, why, specifically, would the removal of these disclaimers in the mainspace be so destructive to the encyclopedia projects? You even admit that "strictly speaking, they are not necessary", so if something isn't necessary, why would deleting it be so detrimental? [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC) ::::*[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: They are not ''as a rule'' necessary, but these in particular have been made necessary ''as an exception'' because of their long use. No, the notices are not covered by the general disclaimer; that is why they are project-specific, and deleting them would entail recourse to the general (and thus not specifically useful) disclaimer, while losing the information of specific relevance to the articles at hand. They generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules regarding “verifiability,” “notability,” and such, I believe; such being the reason for their initial creation. [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 01:14, 12 September 2021 (UTC) {{ping|TE(æ)A,ea.}} Wikipedians copying and referencing material that happens to be in the public domain is nothing new as you say. The entire sum of human media before 1923, and now before 1926, is a pretty wide scope of works after all, which, theoretically, we should have transcribed in its totality at Wikisource. I've seen entire plot summary sections of Wikipedia articles having been copied verbatim from public domain film magazines, for example (as of now, film magazine coverage at Wikisource is incredibly slim, however ''theoretically'' we should have them all). There are a ton of nonfiction works, encyclopedias included but also dictionaries, atlases, certain magazines, textbooks, newspapers, masters' theses, and the list goes on. Any number of these things are copied and/or used at Wikipedia all the time. Should we make mainspace disclaimers specific to these, too? How about I put a page like that in [[The Masses (periodical)]], to make sure that Wikipedians who might use it know that ''The Masses'' purposefully has a socialist slant, and that articles shouldn't be copied to Wikipedia because it's not NPOV? The encyclopedia disclaimers set a bad precedent that way, and I'm a bit worried something like that might be tried one day because of it. And anyway, if "they generally serve the purpose of informing Wikipedia users of some relevant facts for local (to Wikipedia) rules", that seems like a bad thing to me. Why is that our responsibility? What is done with the information in the encyclopedias at Wikipedia should ''by no means'' be our specific responsibility. We're a very different project from them, and Wikipedians can go to pages like [[Wikisource:For Wikipedians]] to get an idea of that. Furthermore, I disagree that these disclaimer pages are useful even. Let's look at [[Collier's New Encyclopedia (1921)/Project Disclaimer]] as an example. It says: <blockquote>'''Inaccuracies:''' The articles of the 1921 edition of Collier's New Encyclopedia were based upon the information available to the editors and contributors at the time of their original publication in the early 20th century. Changing circumstances and more recent research may have rendered this information obsolete or revealed it to be inaccurate, especially in the areas of science, law, and ethnography. Readers should bear this in mind when using the information.</blockquote> There is an entire section dedicated to this very thing covered by [[WS:GD]], which says for example (while not with the exact wording): <blockquote>[...] we cannot guarantee (in any way whatsoever) the validity of the documents found here. In particular, medical or legal texts on Wikisource may be incorrect or out of date. We suggest contacting a qualified professional for such information.</blockquote> The next section: <blockquote>'''Transcription errors:''' These articles are transcribed from the originals by volunteers, sometimes directly and sometimes by correcting a preliminary OCR conversion. While we strive for perfect accuracy, there may be transcription errors in the articles.</blockquote> What [[WS:GD]] says about the same thing (although the wording isn't very specific so it's easy to misconstrue): <blockquote>[...] material found here may not be reviewed by professionals who are knowledgeable in the particular areas of expertise necessary to ensure the accuracy of the texts.</blockquote> So we can take out those bits because they aren't necessary for an entire separate page. What we're left with is the very first paragraph, which states: <blockquote>'''Title usage:''' Use of the titles Collier's New Encyclopedia or Collier's Encyclopedia is strictly to acknowledge titles used to refer to the edition of 1921 which has gone into the public domain in the United States due to the expiration of its copyright there. Any reference to this material should explicitly note the original date of publication.</blockquote> Trademark law is not mentioned in the general disclaimer. However, at this point all we have is a paragraph, which is enough for just being in the notes section on the header of the encyclopedia work. However, even this trademark law bit ''could'' be mentioned in the general disclaimer, but isn't for some reason. Really, any number of works hosted at Wikisource are probably still protected by trademark in some jurisdictions, and we really shouldn't leave a disclaimer about it on every work that applies to. We should probably mention, in the general disclaimer, that the use of the titles of some works, or the identities of the characters in them, may violate trademark laws in some jurisdictions which is unrelated to copyright. I'd like to end the post by saying that I think much the material in these project disclaimers could be either included or made more specific in the [[WS:General disclaimer]]. I don't like how vague the general disclaimer currently is on many issues, so it certainly could be improved. However, the issues with the general disclaimer does not necessitate the existence of a specific project disclaimer page, in the ''mainspace'' of all places, for every single encyclopedia we have that I know of. I think the improvement of our general disclaimer should be discussed by the way (probably separately to this discussion). [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 01:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC) *[[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]]: Many encyclopedias (''e.g.'', ''EB'', ''EA'') are still covered by trademark law, but ''most'' (if not effectively all) books are not. My response to your (rhetorical?) question about ''The Masses'' is the following: No, it should not have a disclaimer, because ''no ''new'' disclaimers should be made''. The maintenance (read: non-deletion) of these project disclaimers harks back to when Wikipedia copied at large from the old encyclopedias, and they noted them back to Wikisource. The disclaimers were added to the projects at the time to facilitate this, and thus, to maintain this ''ad-hoc'' “backwards compatibility,” they should be kept. I disagree with your interpretation above: the ''Collier’s'' disclaimer is more specific than the general disclaimer, and thus is useful. (This is the case with other project disclaimers, as well.) I also believe that the general disclaimer is perfectly functional in its current state: being a ''general'' disclaimer, it doesn’t need excruciating detail. I agree regarding the general disclaimer discussion; for another time, perhaps. (As for the old film magazines, they are quite interesting, but with so many images, it is a daunting prospect.)

In the amount of time I've been active at Wikisource, which would be a couple years at this point, I have ''never even seen'' anything of this template, much less seen it being used. I often patrol recent changes for vandalism and new users who might need help or their edits standardized, and in that time I've never seen the template in use. Yet, [[Template:Welcome]] links to this template still. Not helping the case of <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> is that '''even the template itself''' (not even the documentation but the ''template'') recommends the main point I have against keeping this template around, which is that we have other outlets that are better used for help. We have such fine resources as [[WS:SCH|the Scriptorium help desk]], talk pages of experienced users, an IRC channel, (as of relatively recently) a Discord server, and probably more outlets I'm forgetting to mention, where a user can ask for help. Given that we have these other outlets, having a self-categorizing help template on Wikisource doesn't seem like it's very efficient in practice, at least maybe not anymore. [[Template:Helpme]] got only '''2 pageviews''' in the past 30 days, and the category [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] got '''7 pageviews'''. That's ''pretty bad'' when you compare it to [[:Category:Speedy deletion requests]], a far more useful maintenance category, which got '''314 pageviews''' this month. This illustrates the point that I don't think this category gets enough attention for its stated purpose; I doubt many admins have it bookmarked (maybe I should?). Whatever the case may be, the amount of people specifically patrolling [[:Category:Users looking for help|Users looking for help]] is clearly very scant to none, and a user would get better help by asking for it from another source that would get more attention, like the ones mentioned above. This is especially the case for more complex problems. It's really most likely to be used by editors who recently discovered us through Wikipedia and are thus used to WP's community practices, and many of those practices really ought not be encouraged. Many things Wikipedia does are virtually incompatible with Wikisource simply because we're a smaller community, and they have a ''far'' larger active editor base than we do. If a template is greatly discouraged virtually everywhere, it should probably just be deleted. The better outlets should be highlighted to new contributors as the right way to do it, with [[Template:Helpme]] removed from our welcome template and any other places it remains linked.

I see it used frequently enough, and the category is mentioned through the “recent pages” header listing. I am suprised that you have never seen its use, actually. In addition, the fact that messages sent to such help-related outlets are often ignored makes it desirable to have multiple methods of communication. I believe that the deletion of the “hangon” template was appropriate, because it was never integrated into the Wikisource structure, and its purpose was better accomplished and was actually accomplished by other utilities. However, I believe that the “helpme” template is useful, and its use, though not especially frequent, shows this to be the case.

All of these or either of them would be acceptable here, but separately and in context (for example, in UKTS ''Versailles'' was published along with a treaty between the UK and France guaranteeing protection to the latter in the event of German aggression).{{pbr}}I think it's probably necessary here to clearly distinguish between ''the Treaty of Versailles'' as a legal construct, and the various editions of ''the text of the Treaty of Versailles''. The legal construct should ideally have an identical interpretation irrespective of text source, and can in fact deviate from the plain meaning of the text if legal interpretation says it means something else. This interpretation can change over time, and can temporarily or permanently become divergent. But in essence, this "true treaty" exists as a meta-entity in the heads of legal scholars and so forth. The ''text'' on the other hand, exists in multiple editions and variants, that are, presumably, identical in terms of the legal construct, but can differ markedly and drastically in bibliographic and historiographic terms. Mostly not in terms of the text of the treaty itself, but perhaps in formatting and layout (unless it's a facsimile) and certainly in context (what addenda and prolegomena it is published with; or perhaps even annotation and commentary inserted into the text itself). The legal construct of the treaty on enWS only corresponds with a versions page (or possibly even a Portal); but it is specific published editions of the text of the treaty that are in scope for us to host. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC) *:[[User:Xover|Xover]]: The United States never ratified the Treaty of Versailles, because of the League of Nations; the [[US–Germany Peace Treaty]] (which ''was'' published in the ''Statutes'') mentions that treaty and incorporates some of its provisions, but the text of the Treaty of Versailles is not to be found in U.S.Stat.

The translations are of the original Constitution, and of the articles as they were amended in 1952. It is just that the United Nations publication on hand did not see fit to reprint the entire Constitution, when only some of its articles were amended. I had trouble finding the specific policy, but I do not think that it would be improper to host a legal document which was real, for which we have a complete translation, even if the translation was published in multiple, separated parts. I don’t think that such a “compilation” was considered when compilations were first prohibited, as, in the case of such legal texts, there is no guessing or new material on the part of the compiling user, as the modified articles are all listed in the translations.

You say that you want to host a real legal document, but we do not have such a document to host. It is a big difference if a work is published "in parts" or if they are two separate works (which they are: the texts were written and adopted in different years by different people, and also the translations were done by different translators, though anonymous), and nobody ever tried to publish them together in English.{{pbr}}As for the policy, see [[WS:WWI]]: *::*:a) Its lead reads: ''Wikisource, as the free library that anyone can improve, exists to archive the free artistic and intellectual works created throughout history, and to <u>present these publications</u> in a faithful wiki version…'' *::*:b) Section [[WS:What Wikisource includes#Evolving works]] reads: ''Wikisource's mission is to collect and preserve <u>works in their published form</u>.

Each corporation has a certain capital-stock which may be raised for the purposes of its business but need not be fully paid up. This amount is divided into shares. Certificates are made out for these shares, say $100 shares or $10 shares as the case may be. These certificates are sent to those who have paid up the capital, in proportion to the amount which they have paid. Thus if the stocks be at par, a man who had subscribed $1,000 to a certain stock would receive ten $100 certificates. But the business of the corporation may fall short of expectations; or it may exceed them. In the former case the value of the paper certificates will decrease; in the latter case it will increase. So a stock is rarely at par, ''i.&nbsp;e.'', at such a mark that a hundred dollar certificate is worth exactly one hundred dollars. Stocks are liable to fluctuate in value not merely according to the value of the business which they represent, whether a mine, a railroad, a great commercial concern or what not, but according to the plentifulness or scarcity of money which is being invested. There are many who almost gamble on the fluctuations of stocks. Some buy merely in order to sell; and it is to their interest to ''bull'' the stock or advance it in price. Others sell stock which perhaps they do not possess; believing that, by the time they will be compelled to hand over the stock, they will be able to buy it more cheaply than they have agreed to sell it. In the stock-market the former class are known as “bulls;” the latter as “bears.” The mere manipulation of stock is undesirable. The member of the public who thinks that he can compete with the professional stockbrokers is likely to suffer heavy loss. He will do better to make a genuine investment in a stock, with the idea, not of selling, but of getting good interest on his money from the dividends which the stock pays out of the proceeds of the business which it represents. On every transaction in stock the buyer or seller pays one-eighth ''per cent.'' of the money which he pays or receives for the stock to a broker. The number of brokers in a stock-exchange is limited. Their seats are property, and may be inherited; but they <!-- column 2 --> are occasionally sold to a would-be broker. A seat in the New York Stock Exchange has sold for $88,000.

None of these are in themselves showstoppers, and many people are using it entirely without issue.

As it turns out, the 2FA stuff is (surprise surprise) as half-baked as most such Papal bulls from the WMF: 2FA is ''required'' for intadmin, but there is ''no'' way for bureaucrats to actually check whether an account has that enabled. The result of this is that even on enwp (where they take this stuff ''really'' seriously) they do not actually try to verify that 2FA is enabled before they hand the permission out: they check that the user is in the right group so that they ''can'' turn on 2FA, remind the person in question of the requirement, but otherwise take it on faith (trust). There's a request in for the technical capability to verify 2FA (and I think Danny is even working on it), but it seems mostly everyone's waiting for 2FA to be enforced by the software. Meanwhile, anyone with existing advanced permissions (i.e. +sysop) have the capability to enable 2FA, and anyone with a particular reason (e.g. that they need it to get Interface Administrator permission) can apply to be a "2FA Tester" and thus gain the ability to turn it on. The net result is that our bureaucrats (ping {{ul2|Hesperian}} and {{ul2|Mpaa}}) ''can'' assign this permission so long as we somehow somewhere make at least a token effort to make sure those getting the bit have 2FA enabled. Whether that's an addition to, or footnote on, [[Wikisource:Adminship]], or the bureaucrats asking/reminding the user when it comes up, or… whatever… I have no particular opinion on. Since the previous community discussions have been actively adverse to regulating this stuff in detail, and absent objections, I think "Whatever Hesperian and Mpaa agree on" is a reasonable enough summary of consensus. I still think we should have an actual policy for Interface Administrators (or section on it in [[Wikisource:Adminship]]) and some facility for permanently assigning the permission (ala. +sysop; but intadmin tasks are not one-and-done like +sysop tasks, they often require iterative changes over time and need to fit into a overall architecture), but so long as there is no appetite for that, ''something'' that we can point to and say "That's how we handle the 2FA requirement" if the WMF should ever come asking. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 07:37, 10 February 2020 (UTC) {{question}} Is there anything further that the community thinks we need to discuss? — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 01:36, 1 October 2021 (UTC) : I just added [[Special:Diff/11740077]] as a quickrestatement of [[meta:Interface administrators]], which is already linked from the top of [[Wikisource:Interface administrators]].

To assist, I have created the above parent tracking category to label such pages. We obviously cannot use it on Mediawiki: pages, so will have to be content with putting it on the corresponding talk page. I am working through creating subcats for each WMF tool that I find as they are more likely need to be what is changed, and will do some checks. I will note that as some of these pages use conditional code or includeonly so may be a little tricky to find by searching. [Reminder to not unnecessarily hide things to just avoid visual errors in non-display namespaces or ugly display code.] I am hoping that this will also allow us to check these a little more easily as we have suffered some link rot. I think that we may also need to put some checking categories on these so we can at least check these yearly, though haven't got that far and welcome people's thoughts. I have also identified that we have had some templates transcluded to the mediawiki: ns that have not been protected. Can I express that any such templates need to be '''fully''' protected. If you are using a template within another template, then all subsidiary templates also need to be protected. Noting that it often it can be safest to simply use html span and div code and embedded css. On that note, if we are protecting templates, it is better practice to use separate {{tl|documentation}} so the docs can readily updated without someone asking for editing of protected templates. This is not pointing fingers, as some of these are old static pages that don't readily get traffic, and reflect older generation practices.

It is very likely this kind of thing will spill over to English Wikisource too (for example, speeches by representatives of the parties or by third parties are in scope) and by its very nature it is an issue apt to engender very strong feelings and emotional responses. I urge all admins to be on the lookout for on-wiki behaviour or actions that appear motivated in some way by this conflict and step in to manage such situations ''before'' they spin out of control, but with diplomacy and sensitivity in a very difficult situation for many. Also, if you are an admin with a personal stake in this conflict or very strong feelings about it, please leave admin actions that are at all related to it to other admins. We've seen otherwise intelligent and level-headed admins on other projects act on what they feel is a moral imperative but entirely outside policy. There may indeed be trolling or propaganda being perpetuated on-wiki that we need to manage, but if you have a personal stake or very strong feelings you are probably not going to be the best person to make the judgement call of where to draw the line.

like it if there were an option in [[Module:ISO 639]] to specify an error message if the language code isn't recognized. The way I'd do it is [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Sandbox&oldid=12317806 like this]—unless there are uses of the module where it's important that it return <code>nil</code> if the language code isn't recognized, in which case I can adjust accordingly. Thanks! —[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]] ([[User talk:CalendulaAsteraceae|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CalendulaAsteraceae|contribs]]) 21:56, 5 May 2022 (UTC) :@[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]]: The convention is that functions return <code>nil</code> to signal an error, particularly this kind of error, and it's generally bad practice to hard code error messages down in library code (for all sorts of reasons). This kind of behaviour is better handled closer to the user layer, but possibly aided by a function in the library to ''check'' whether the code exists and returning a boolean on which the error message can be made conditional. What's the context / use case? [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:32, 7 May 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Xover|Xover]] The use case is that {{tl|ISO 639 name}} has an option to provide a default value if the code isn't recognized, and now that the template is using [[Module:ISO 639]], I want to make sure that functionality still works. Which, now that I'm typing this, I'm realizing could be done with just an option in the module to provide a default value, something like [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Sandbox&oldid=12323167 this]. ::(Another question: what's a good way to do error-categorization for {{tl|ISO 639 name}}?) —[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]] ([[User talk:CalendulaAsteraceae|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CalendulaAsteraceae|contribs]]) 22:49, 7 May 2022 (UTC) :::@[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]]: Error categorization is just outputting whatever category you want at some point where the wikimarkup could validly appear. I wish the MW devs would move categories out of page content and into metadata for a page, and allow an API from Lua to set cats in a structured way. But for now it's just a matter of spitting out a text string with the category markup and hoping it'll be in some valid context that doesn't mess up formatting.{{pbr}}But what is the use case for having a default language if an invalid language code is provided? In what situation would you want some random and possibly changeable language name returned? As an interface guarantee, "returning either a valid language name or ''nil''" is a lot cleaner than "… or possibly some default value, picked either by a template or module developer, or provided by the end user, that may or may not understand what it means and what the template does, and may or may not be stable over time, and may or may not be a valid language name under some standard or local convention or colloquially or in the user's head."{{pbr}}<code>nil</code> ''is'' a "default value" of a sort, that has the precise semantics "something went wrong". When something goes wrong you generally want either calling code or the invoking user to be made aware of that fact immediately so that they can fix it. Returning some seemingly valid output is directly contrary to this goal: it ''obfuscates'' the fact that we are in an error situation and thus makes it harder to fix.

I am going on hearsay, mostly from admins on enwp (a crotchety bunch if ever there was one), and my own assessment of the documentation at meta.

None of these are in themselves showstoppers, and many people are using it entirely without issue. The phrasing {{talk quote inline| sufficiently finicky that one may not want to enable it without proper consideration|q=y}} was not intended to discourage use, but merely to suggest that it is worthwhile actually giving it a little thought before requesting it be turned on. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 17:52, 11 August 2019 (UTC) *:::: Okay, gotcha.

As it turns out, the 2FA stuff is (surprise surprise) as half-baked as most such Papal bulls from the WMF: 2FA is ''required'' for intadmin, but there is ''no'' way for bureaucrats to actually check whether an account has that enabled. The result of this is that even on enwp (where they take this stuff ''really'' seriously) they do not actually try to verify that 2FA is enabled before they hand the permission out: they check that the user is in the right group so that they ''can'' turn on 2FA, remind the person in question of the requirement, but otherwise take it on faith (trust). There's a request in for the technical capability to verify 2FA (and I think Danny is even working on it), but it seems mostly everyone's waiting for 2FA to be enforced by the software. Meanwhile, anyone with existing advanced permissions (i.e. +sysop) have the capability to enable 2FA, and anyone with a particular reason (e.g. that they need it to get Interface Administrator permission) can apply to be a "2FA Tester" and thus gain the ability to turn it on. The net result is that our bureaucrats (ping {{ul2|Hesperian}} and {{ul2|Mpaa}}) ''can'' assign this permission so long as we somehow somewhere make at least a token effort to make sure those getting the bit have 2FA enabled. Whether that's an addition to, or footnote on, [[Wikisource:Adminship]], or the bureaucrats asking/reminding the user when it comes up, or… whatever… I have no particular opinion on. Since the previous community discussions have been actively adverse to regulating this stuff in detail, and absent objections, I think "Whatever Hesperian and Mpaa agree on" is a reasonable enough summary of consensus. I still think we should have an actual policy for Interface Administrators (or section on it in [[Wikisource:Adminship]]) and some facility for permanently assigning the permission (ala. +sysop; but intadmin tasks are not one-and-done like +sysop tasks, they often require iterative changes over time and need to fit into a overall architecture), but so long as there is no appetite for that, ''something'' that we can point to and say "That's how we handle the 2FA requirement" if the WMF should ever come asking. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 07:37, 10 February 2020 (UTC) {{question}} Is there anything further that the community thinks we need to discuss? — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 01:36, 1 October 2021 (UTC) : I just added [[Special:Diff/11740077]] as a quickrestatement of [[meta:Interface administrators]], which is already linked from the top of [[Wikisource:Interface administrators]].

Noting that it often it can be safest to simply use html span and div code and embedded css. On that note, if we are protecting templates, it is better practice to use separate {{tl|documentation}} so the docs can readily updated without someone asking for editing of protected templates.

It is very likely this kind of thing will spill over to English Wikisource too (for example, speeches by representatives of the parties or by third parties are in scope) and by its very nature it is an issue apt to engender very strong feelings and emotional responses. I urge all admins to be on the lookout for on-wiki behaviour or actions that appear motivated in some way by this conflict and step in to manage such situations ''before'' they spin out of control, but with diplomacy and sensitivity in a very difficult situation for many. Also, if you are an admin with a personal stake in this conflict or very strong feelings about it, please leave admin actions that are at all related to it to other admins. We've seen otherwise intelligent and level-headed admins on other projects act on what they feel is a moral imperative but entirely outside policy. There may indeed be trolling or propaganda being perpetuated on-wiki that we need to manage, but if you have a personal stake or very strong feelings you are probably not going to be the best person to make the judgement call of where to draw the line. Hopefully we can keep this place a fussy, dusty, and what most would consider pretty boring place rather than import IRL conflicts.

This kind of behaviour is better handled closer to the user layer, but possibly aided by a function in the library to ''check'' whether the code exists and returning a boolean on which the error message can be made conditional. What's the context / use case? [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:32, 7 May 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Xover|Xover]] The use case is that {{tl|ISO 639 name}} has an option to provide a default value if the code isn't recognized, and now that the template is using [[Module:ISO 639]], I want to make sure that functionality still works. Which, now that I'm typing this, I'm realizing could be done with just an option in the module to provide a default value, something like [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Sandbox&oldid=12323167 this]. ::(Another question: what's a good way to do error-categorization for {{tl|ISO 639 name}}?) —[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]] ([[User talk:CalendulaAsteraceae|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CalendulaAsteraceae|contribs]]) 22:49, 7 May 2022 (UTC) :::@[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]]: Error categorization is just outputting whatever category you want at some point where the wikimarkup could validly appear. I wish the MW devs would move categories out of page content and into metadata for a page, and allow an API from Lua to set cats in a structured way. But for now it's just a matter of spitting out a text string with the category markup and hoping it'll be in some valid context that doesn't mess up formatting.{{pbr}}But what is the use case for having a default language if an invalid language code is provided? In what situation would you want some random and possibly changeable language name returned? As an interface guarantee, "returning either a valid language name or ''nil''" is a lot cleaner than "… or possibly some default value, picked either by a template or module developer, or provided by the end user, that may or may not understand what it means and what the template does, and may or may not be stable over time, and may or may not be a valid language name under some standard or local convention or colloquially or in the user's head."{{pbr}}<code>nil</code> ''is'' a "default value" of a sort, that has the precise semantics "something went wrong". When something goes wrong you generally want either calling code or the invoking user to be made aware of that fact immediately so that they can fix it. Returning some seemingly valid output is directly contrary to this goal: it ''obfuscates'' the fact that we are in an error situation and thus makes it harder to fix.

None of these are in themselves showstoppers, and many people are using it entirely without issue.

As it turns out, the 2FA stuff is (surprise surprise) as half-baked as most such Papal bulls from the WMF: 2FA is ''required'' for intadmin, but there is ''no'' way for bureaucrats to actually check whether an account has that enabled. The result of this is that even on enwp (where they take this stuff ''really'' seriously) they do not actually try to verify that 2FA is enabled before they hand the permission out: they check that the user is in the right group so that they ''can'' turn on 2FA, remind the person in question of the requirement, but otherwise take it on faith (trust). There's a request in for the technical capability to verify 2FA (and I think Danny is even working on it), but it seems mostly everyone's waiting for 2FA to be enforced by the software. Meanwhile, anyone with existing advanced permissions (i.e. +sysop) have the capability to enable 2FA, and anyone with a particular reason (e.g. that they need it to get Interface Administrator permission) can apply to be a "2FA Tester" and thus gain the ability to turn it on. The net result is that our bureaucrats (ping {{ul2|Hesperian}} and {{ul2|Mpaa}}) ''can'' assign this permission so long as we somehow somewhere make at least a token effort to make sure those getting the bit have 2FA enabled. Whether that's an addition to, or footnote on, [[Wikisource:Adminship]], or the bureaucrats asking/reminding the user when it comes up, or… whatever… I have no particular opinion on. Since the previous community discussions have been actively adverse to regulating this stuff in detail, and absent objections, I think "Whatever Hesperian and Mpaa agree on" is a reasonable enough summary of consensus. I still think we should have an actual policy for Interface Administrators (or section on it in [[Wikisource:Adminship]]) and some facility for permanently assigning the permission (ala. +sysop; but intadmin tasks are not one-and-done like +sysop tasks, they often require iterative changes over time and need to fit into a overall architecture), but so long as there is no appetite for that, ''something'' that we can point to and say "That's how we handle the 2FA requirement" if the WMF should ever come asking. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 07:37, 10 February 2020 (UTC) {{question}} Is there anything further that the community thinks we need to discuss? — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 01:36, 1 October 2021 (UTC) : I just added [[Special:Diff/11740077]] as a quickrestatement of [[meta:Interface administrators]], which is already linked from the top of [[Wikisource:Interface administrators]].

It is very likely this kind of thing will spill over to English Wikisource too (for example, speeches by representatives of the parties or by third parties are in scope) and by its very nature it is an issue apt to engender very strong feelings and emotional responses. I urge all admins to be on the lookout for on-wiki behaviour or actions that appear motivated in some way by this conflict and step in to manage such situations ''before'' they spin out of control, but with diplomacy and sensitivity in a very difficult situation for many. Also, if you are an admin with a personal stake in this conflict or very strong feelings about it, please leave admin actions that are at all related to it to other admins. We've seen otherwise intelligent and level-headed admins on other projects act on what they feel is a moral imperative but entirely outside policy. There may indeed be trolling or propaganda being perpetuated on-wiki that we need to manage, but if you have a personal stake or very strong feelings you are probably not going to be the best person to make the judgement call of where to draw the line. Hopefully we can keep this place a fussy, dusty, and what most would consider pretty boring place rather than import IRL conflicts.

This kind of behaviour is better handled closer to the user layer, but possibly aided by a function in the library to ''check'' whether the code exists and returning a boolean on which the error message can be made conditional. What's the context / use case? [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:32, 7 May 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Xover|Xover]] The use case is that {{tl|ISO 639 name}} has an option to provide a default value if the code isn't recognized, and now that the template is using [[Module:ISO 639]], I want to make sure that functionality still works. Which, now that I'm typing this, I'm realizing could be done with just an option in the module to provide a default value, something like [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Sandbox&oldid=12323167 this]. ::(Another question: what's a good way to do error-categorization for {{tl|ISO 639 name}}?) —[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]] ([[User talk:CalendulaAsteraceae|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CalendulaAsteraceae|contribs]]) 22:49, 7 May 2022 (UTC) :::@[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]]: Error categorization is just outputting whatever category you want at some point where the wikimarkup could validly appear. I wish the MW devs would move categories out of page content and into metadata for a page, and allow an API from Lua to set cats in a structured way. But for now it's just a matter of spitting out a text string with the category markup and hoping it'll be in some valid context that doesn't mess up formatting.{{pbr}}But what is the use case for having a default language if an invalid language code is provided? In what situation would you want some random and possibly changeable language name returned? As an interface guarantee, "returning either a valid language name or ''nil''" is a lot cleaner than "… or possibly some default value, picked either by a template or module developer, or provided by the end user, that may or may not understand what it means and what the template does, and may or may not be stable over time, and may or may not be a valid language name under some standard or local convention or colloquially or in the user's head."{{pbr}}<code>nil</code> ''is'' a "default value" of a sort, that has the precise semantics "something went wrong". When something goes wrong you generally want either calling code or the invoking user to be made aware of that fact immediately so that they can fix it. Returning some seemingly valid output is directly contrary to this goal: it ''obfuscates'' the fact that we are in an error situation and thus makes it harder to fix.

None of these are in themselves showstoppers, and many people are using it entirely without issue.

As it turns out, the 2FA stuff is (surprise surprise) as half-baked as most such Papal bulls from the WMF: 2FA is ''required'' for intadmin, but there is ''no'' way for bureaucrats to actually check whether an account has that enabled. The result of this is that even on enwp (where they take this stuff ''really'' seriously) they do not actually try to verify that 2FA is enabled before they hand the permission out: they check that the user is in the right group so that they ''can'' turn on 2FA, remind the person in question of the requirement, but otherwise take it on faith (trust). There's a request in for the technical capability to verify 2FA (and I think Danny is even working on it), but it seems mostly everyone's waiting for 2FA to be enforced by the software. Meanwhile, anyone with existing advanced permissions (i.e. +sysop) have the capability to enable 2FA, and anyone with a particular reason (e.g. that they need it to get Interface Administrator permission) can apply to be a "2FA Tester" and thus gain the ability to turn it on. The net result is that our bureaucrats (ping {{ul2|Hesperian}} and {{ul2|Mpaa}}) ''can'' assign this permission so long as we somehow somewhere make at least a token effort to make sure those getting the bit have 2FA enabled. Whether that's an addition to, or footnote on, [[Wikisource:Adminship]], or the bureaucrats asking/reminding the user when it comes up, or… whatever… I have no particular opinion on. Since the previous community discussions have been actively adverse to regulating this stuff in detail, and absent objections, I think "Whatever Hesperian and Mpaa agree on" is a reasonable enough summary of consensus. I still think we should have an actual policy for Interface Administrators (or section on it in [[Wikisource:Adminship]]) and some facility for permanently assigning the permission (ala. +sysop; but intadmin tasks are not one-and-done like +sysop tasks, they often require iterative changes over time and need to fit into a overall architecture), but so long as there is no appetite for that, ''something'' that we can point to and say "That's how we handle the 2FA requirement" if the WMF should ever come asking. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 07:37, 10 February 2020 (UTC) {{question}} Is there anything further that the community thinks we need to discuss? — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 01:36, 1 October 2021 (UTC) : I just added [[Special:Diff/11740077]] as a quickrestatement of [[meta:Interface administrators]], which is already linked from the top of [[Wikisource:Interface administrators]].

For instance, by deleting the ''content'' instead of the ''page'' at [[Page:History of Oregon Literature.djvu/328]], you have made it impossible to move the fully proofread page at [[Page:History of Oregon Literature.djvu/306]] into its proper location. If I'm misunderstanding something, please let me know. But I was trying to approach this in a way that would not require any pages to be proofread a second time. I'd prefer if the final list of pages could be deleted. I'm fine with manually moving pages once the target pages have been deleted. -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 17:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC) : Please list WHICH pages are wrong and by how many pages they need to be moved.

I've already manually moved dozens of pages, and I'm happy to manually move dozens more. If you think it's better to move them in a programmatic way, I'll probably need some help formulating that request.

I can't really tell what your vision is, so I'm not going to recommend any action here, don't want us all working at cross purposes. I'll probably just delete all these pages from my watchlist for a while until everything settles down, I don't think I can contribute usefully as it is now.

And there seems to be a typo in the 2nd row of the table, "|443-436||+12" (note that the page sequence goes down not up), so I'm not sure what's intended there. I did spot-check the other rows (as in, checked one or two pages in each range) and they seemed good. Do note, if taking this approach it would be good to start with the last row of the table and work backward, as at least one or two of the pages will "overlap." -[[User:Peteforsyth|Pete]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 21:46, 2 February 2022 (UTC) :::::: {{ping|ShakespeareFan00}} Could you take another look at this?

If so, it can easily be combined with the following row, as the ranges overlap. I've looked at enough of the pages to be reasonably sure that would take care of it; {{ping|Xover}} could you move the pages as indicated in the (edited) version of the table below?

It is very likely this kind of thing will spill over to English Wikisource too (for example, speeches by representatives of the parties or by third parties are in scope) and by its very nature it is an issue apt to engender very strong feelings and emotional responses. I urge all admins to be on the lookout for on-wiki behaviour or actions that appear motivated in some way by this conflict and step in to manage such situations ''before'' they spin out of control, but with diplomacy and sensitivity in a very difficult situation for many. Also, if you are an admin with a personal stake in this conflict or very strong feelings about it, please leave admin actions that are at all related to it to other admins. We've seen otherwise intelligent and level-headed admins on other projects act on what they feel is a moral imperative but entirely outside policy. There may indeed be trolling or propaganda being perpetuated on-wiki that we need to manage, but if you have a personal stake or very strong feelings you are probably not going to be the best person to make the judgement call of where to draw the line. Hopefully we can keep this place a fussy, dusty, and what most would consider pretty boring place rather than import IRL conflicts.

This kind of behaviour is better handled closer to the user layer, but possibly aided by a function in the library to ''check'' whether the code exists and returning a boolean on which the error message can be made conditional. What's the context / use case? [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 11:32, 7 May 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Xover|Xover]] The use case is that {{tl|ISO 639 name}} has an option to provide a default value if the code isn't recognized, and now that the template is using [[Module:ISO 639]], I want to make sure that functionality still works. Which, now that I'm typing this, I'm realizing could be done with just an option in the module to provide a default value, something like [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Sandbox&oldid=12323167 this]. ::(Another question: what's a good way to do error-categorization for {{tl|ISO 639 name}}?) —[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]] ([[User talk:CalendulaAsteraceae|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CalendulaAsteraceae|contribs]]) 22:49, 7 May 2022 (UTC) :::@[[User:CalendulaAsteraceae|CalendulaAsteraceae]]: Error categorization is just outputting whatever category you want at some point where the wikimarkup could validly appear. I wish the MW devs would move categories out of page content and into metadata for a page, and allow an API from Lua to set cats in a structured way. But for now it's just a matter of spitting out a text string with the category markup and hoping it'll be in some valid context that doesn't mess up formatting.{{pbr}}But what is the use case for having a default language if an invalid language code is provided? In what situation would you want some random and possibly changeable language name returned? As an interface guarantee, "returning either a valid language name or ''nil''" is a lot cleaner than "… or possibly some default value, picked either by a template or module developer, or provided by the end user, that may or may not understand what it means and what the template does, and may or may not be stable over time, and may or may not be a valid language name under some standard or local convention or colloquially or in the user's head."{{pbr}}<code>nil</code> ''is'' a "default value" of a sort, that has the precise semantics "something went wrong". When something goes wrong you generally want either calling code or the invoking user to be made aware of that fact immediately so that they can fix it. Returning some seemingly valid output is directly contrary to this goal: it ''obfuscates'' the fact that we are in an error situation and thus makes it harder to fix.

Halkin }} </noinclude> THE EPISTLE TO YEMEN, probably a compilation of several shorter responsa, was written by Maimonides about 1172 in reply to an inquiry (or inquiries) by Jacob ben Netan'el al-Fayyūmi, the then head of the Jewish community in Yemen. The exchange of letters was occasioned by a crisis through which the Jews of that country were passing. A forced conversion to Islam, inaugurated about 1165 by 'Abd-al-Nabī ibn Mahdi, who had gained control over most of Yemen, threw the Jews into panic. The campaign conducted by a recent convert to win them to his new faith, coupled with a Messianic movement started by a native of the country who claimed he was the Messiah, increased the confusion within the Jewish community. Rabbi Jacob evidently sought guidance and encouragement, and Maimonides attempted to supply both. In the course of his reply Maimonides deals at length with several subjects which were live issues in his time. In the Hebrew introduction these topics are analyzed in detail. Here only a brief summary will be presented. ''Religious polemics''. In his desire to refute the arguments of the apostate Jew, Maimonides devotes considerable space to demolishing his propaganda. Muslim polemics against Judaism could be subsumed under three headings: 1) By His dispensation revealed to Muhammad, God abrogated the Law of Moses, just as He had previously abrogated regulations within the Bible; 2) The Jews have forged and falsified the contents of their Law; originally many predictions of Muhammad's coming were found in it; 3) References to the prophetic mission of Muhammad in the Jewish Scriptures are nevertheless still available. Earlier Jewish scholars, both Rabbanite and Karaite, met these charges with logical as well as historical arguments. Maimonides rests his case squarely on evidence to be gleaned from the Law. He disposes of the first Muslim contention with the apodictic assertion that we have it from Moses himself that no other Law will be revealed. He counters the charge of forgery by his explanation that the Muslims resorted to it only after the discovery that nothing in the Jewish Law even suggested the coming of Muhammad. Actually the Muslims themselves realize that this charge has no basis in fact, and hurl it only because of their disappointment with the Masoretic text. However, this text is incontrovertibly authentic since the several versions of the Bible, all earlier than their Prophet, agree with it down to details. The last argument is refuted by more elaborate treatment. He demonstrates that, taken in their context, Genesis 17.20, Deuteronomy 33.2 and 18.15 cannot possibly refer to the Muslim prophet, and that any attempt to read such meaning into these passages is sheer folly. In addition, Maimonides defines the standards for determining the prophethood of any claimant. Although in this issue as elsewhere his predecessors dealt with this question, he develops it his own way. He makes it clear that credibility depends not on the nationality of the candidate but on the content of his message. Falling back on the unassailable assertion by Moses that our Torah is eternal, he rules that unless a man comes to confirm the Mosaic dispensation he does not deserve to have his claim checked. Moreover, this basic requirement is not disregarded even if the pretender displays dexterity in performing miracles; on the contrary, they are not heeded in view of his denial of the Law of Moses. Only after his avowal of faith in Moses and his Law is he to be asked for a sign. This is not necessarily a miracle and may consist of the ability to predict an event. Once these conditions are met, credence of the prophet becomes an obligation, although it is theoretically possible that he is an impostor. We cannot tell whether Maimonides replied to points raised by the apostate or took up some items in the general discussion. For this reason we do not know whether his defense of the Oral Law was directed against the attacks by the convert or whether they were written to strengthen the faith of the Yemenites against well-known criticisms of the Talmud by Muslims who may have acquired their stock arguments from the Karaites. ''Maimonides' attitude to astrology''. The Jewish position on astrology is not too clearly defined. Notwithstanding the Biblical prohibition, enough evidence can be found in Rabbinic literature in favor of the belief in star-gazing. Such statements are in reality a reflection of the generally wide acceptance of this "science" in the ancient world. At the same time the Talmudic authorities never hesitate in their insistence on man's freedom of will, despite the logical contradiction. In the Middle Ages, in an environment which treated astrology as a respectable pursuit, the tendency persisted to recognize the influence of the movements of the heavenly bodies on the fate of this world. But since they were aware of the Biblical injunction against the application of its conclusions, adepts employed various means to explain and justify their position, such as maintaining that only the practice and not the acceptance of astrology is prohibited. Maimonides, however, remains a consistent opponent of it in all his works. In his legal writings as well as in his letters he points out its incredibility and weakness. Replying to questions on the subject addressed to him by the communities of Southern France, he condemns astrology as sheer stupidity and as a useless pursuit. He goes so far as to declare that occupation with it instead of with military practice accounts for the fall of Jerusalem in the war with the Romans. The allegedly approving utterances of Rabbis and sages will not sway him whatever the explanation of their statements may be. In our text he similarly expresses his thoroughgoing disdain of this occult "science" by demonstrating that its predictions have always been wrong and its interpretation of events unwarranted. Both on rational and on traditional grounds it is an error, and it further results in minimizing the complete rule and justice of God's providence in the world. ''Messianism''. Although Maimonides counted the belief in the advent of the Messiah as an article of faith and restated it in his legal code, his view of the Messianic age is rather sober. He regards it merely as a period of peace and of the ingathering of the exiles for the higher aim of the study of Torah and preparation for life in the world to come. He discounts the likelihood of supernatural events and, basing himself on the opinion of a Talmudic sage, emphasizes the essentially natural character of the transition. But in the Epistle to Yemen his entire attitude changes. Perhaps as a result of the difficult condition of the Jews or of the critical situation in Yemen, he manifests greater excitement, warmth, and typically Jewish piety. The abstract dogma becomes a concrete hope. He sees a prelude to the Messianic age in the misery which the Jews of his day are suffering. He looks to the renewal of prophecy in the near future, and even confirms the prophetic character of a man of his time who was nevertheless mistaken in his prediction of the imminent coming of the Messiah. He glorifies the figure of the Redeemer, describes in detail the greatness of his performance and the amazement which it will create in the world. However, expectant as he is, he is equally anxious to dispel his correspondent's illusion that this or any other upstart can rise and claim Messiahship. Maimonides thus seeks to achieve two goals in his treatment of this subject. He attempts to make it clear that this pretender cannot possibly be the Messiah and at the same time to keep up the courage of the Jews by stressing the nearness of the redemption. He urges hopeful patience, illustrating by several examples from Jewish history the tragic results of haste and of irrational credulity in the claims of any pretender. In sum, a study of the letter indicates that although Maimonides necessarily wrote in a popular vein, he nevertheless touches on some fundamental problems of his age and solves them in a manner and tone worthy of his character and his intellect. 57rgc0xfkb80y858ifetayfkz2jrvc0 Darby O'Gill and the Good People 0 68686 12508217 10780233 2022-07-25T10:27:28Z Oswallt 3039930 Added link to first chapter/story. wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = Darby O'Gill and the Good People | author = Herminie Templeton Kavanagh | section = | previous = | next = [[/Darby O'Gill and the Good People/]] | year = 1903 | edition = yes | notes = [''His Misadventures Among the Good People and Fairy Folk of Knocknasheega, Also Known As "Leprechauns"''] {{illustrator|John R.

I just want to ask a question to... '''DODD''': I drive a hybrid, we have a hybrid, and we use efficient light bulbs in our homes... '''COOPER''': So let me just ask a question to everyone on this stage. And I know we said we wouldn't do a lot of show of hands. This is probably the only one we'll do tonight. '''COOPER''': How many people here a private jet or a chartered jet to get here tonight? You're not sure? '''RICHARDSON''': Yesterday. '''COOPER''': Yesterday, OK. Senator Gravel, what was that? You took the train? '''GRAVEL''': I took the train... '''COOPER''': OK. '''GRAVEL''': And maybe one of these will give me a ride someday. '''CLINTON''': Anderson, you know, we haven't really seriously addressed this incredibly important issue of global warming and energy efficiency. '''COOPER''': We've got another question on it's way now. '''CLINTON''': OK. CHARLESTON, South Carolina (CNN) -- '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, my name is Shawn and I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan. There is a scientific consensus for man-caused climate change, and I've heard each of you talk in previous debates about alternative energy sources like solar or wind, but I have not heard any of you speak your opinion on nuclear power. I believe that nuclear power is safer, cleaner, and provides a quicker avenue to energy independence than other alternatives. '''[QUESTION]''': I am curious what each of you believe. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': Wind, solar, cellulose-based biofuels are the way we need to go. I do not favor nuclear power. We haven't built a nuclear power plant in decades in this country. There is a reason for that. The reason is it is extremely costly. It takes an enormous amount of time to get one planned, developed and built. And we still don't have a safe way to dispose of the nuclear waste. It is a huge problem for America over the long term. I also don't believe we should liquefy coal. The last thing we need is another carbon-based fuel in America. We need to find fuels that are in fact renewable, clean, and will allow us to address directly the question that has been raised, which is the issue of global warming, which I believe is a crisis. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I actually think that we should explore nuclear power as part of the energy mix. There are no silver bullets to this issue. We have to develop solar. I have proposed drastically increasing fuel efficiency standards on cars, an aggressive cap on the amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted. '''OBAMA''': But we're going to have to try a series of different approaches. The one thing I have to remind folks, though, of -- we've been talking about this through Republican administrations and Democratic administrations for decades. And the reason it doesn't change -- you can take a look at how Dick Cheney did his energy policy. He met with environmental groups once. He met with renewable energy folks once. And then he met with oil and gas companies 40 times. And that's how they put together our energy policy. We've got to put the national interests ahead of special interests, and that's what I'll do as president of the United States. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, what is Senator Edwards -- why is he wrong on nuclear power? '''CLINTON''': First of all, I have proposed a strategic energy fund that I would fund by taking away the tax break for the oil companies, which have gotten much greater under Bush and Cheney. And we could spend about $50 billion doing what America does best. It's time we start acting like Americans again. '''CLINTON''': We can solve these problems if we focus on innovation and technology. So, yes, all these alternative forms of energy are important. So is fuel efficiency for cars and so is energy efficiency for buildings. I'm agnostic about nuclear power. John is right, that until we figure out what we're going to do with the waste and the cost, it's very hard to see nuclear as a part of our future. But that's where American technology comes in. Let's figure out what we're going to do about the waste and the cost if we think nuclear should be a part of the solution. But this issue of energy and global warming has the promise of creating millions of new jobs in America. '''COOPER''': Time. '''CLINTON''': So it can be a win-win, if we do it right. '''COOPER''': I want to go another YouTube video, another question. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, everyone. My name's Melissa and I'm from San Luis Obispo, California. My question is for everyone: In recent years, there's been so much controversy regarding dangling chads, then no paper trail in electronic systems. I know it costs money to amend things like that, but if I can go to any state and get the same triple grande, non-fat, no foam vanilla latte from Starbucks, why I can't I go to any state and vote the same way? '''[QUESTION]''': Don't you think that standardizing our voting practices will increase legitimacy, and possibly even voter turnout in our elections? What are you going to do to fix that? If you want, give me a call and I will make a standardized form for you. '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson? '''RICHARDSON''': I, as president, I would push the whole country to verified paper trails. There are close to 10 states that do this. My state a year ago, my state was one of those states, along with Florida and Ohio, that, because of the touch-tones, there was uncertainty about the election. We have close to 50 percent of those Americans eligible to vote voting. That is inexcusable, compared to many other nations. We need to have same-day registration. We need to have an effort to get the Republican Party to stop suppressing minority voters. We need to find ways also to depoliticize the Justice Department that tried to find those voters that were legitimately voting. '''RICHARDSON''': And lastly, a verifiable paper trail with optical scanners is going to improve turnout, democracy, and it's going to get a lot of young voters in the polls. '''COOPER''': We're going to take a short break. We're going to go to break with a YouTube-style video from Senator Biden's campaign. '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''ANNOUNCER''': Imagine you're trapped deep in a hole with a group of politicians debating. : :President Bush says the only way out of Iraq is to dig us deeper and deeper. But what if one leader stood up for us and said no, we can get out now, without leaving chaos behind? : :Joe Biden is the only one with the experience and the plan to end this war responsibly so our children don't have to go back. : :'''BIDEN''': I'm Joe Biden and I approved this message. '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''KUCINICH''': You can vote now to end the war in Iraq. Text Peace, 73223. Text peace now to send a message to the White House and to the Democratic Congress that now's the time to end the war. Text Peace, 73223. Make your vote count and your voice be heard. Text Peace, 73223, to move this country away from war as an instrument of policy, and to achieve strength through peace. Text Peace. : :This is Dennis Kucinich, and I authorized this message. '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' ''[COMMERCIAL BREAK]'' '''COOPER''': Welcome back. We still have a lot of YouTube videos we want to try to get to. This next one is about a pocketbook issue. Let's take a look. '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''[QUESTION]''': Hi. I'm Cecilla Smith. : :'''[QUESTION]''': And I'm Asanti Wilkins. : :'''[QUESTION]''': And we're from Pennsylvania, and my question is to all the candidates, and it's regarding the national minimum wage. Congress seems to never have a problem when it comes time to give themselves a raise. But when it came time to increase the minimum wage, they had a problem. : :My question to the candidates: If you're elected to serve, would you be willing to do this service for the next four years and be paid the national minimum wage? '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' '''COOPER''': So, it's pretty simple, yes or no. Minimum wage, by the way, goes up tomorrow to $6.55. In 2009, it will be $7.25. Senator Gravel, would you work for the minimum wage? '''GRAVEL''': Oh, yes, I would, but I would say that we don't need a minimum wage; we need a living wage. We don't have that in this country because of what they passed. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd, would you work for the minimum wage? '''DODD''': I have two young daughters who I'm trying to educate them. I don't think I could live on the minimum wage, but I'm a strong advocate to seeing to it that we increase it at least to $9 or $10 to give people a chance out there to be able to provide for their families. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''DODD''': That's leadership in the country. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': Yes. '''COOPER''': Yes. Senator Clinton? '''CLINTON''': Sure. Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': Well, we can afford to work for the minimum wage because most folks on this stage have a lot of money. It's the folks... ... on that screen who deserve -- you're doing all right, Chris, compared to, I promise you, the folks who are on that screen. '''DODD''': Not that well, I'll tell you, Barack. '''OBAMA''': I mean, we don't have -- we don't have Mitt Romney money, but... But we could afford to do it for a few years. Most folks can't. And that's why we've got to fight and advocate for... '''COOPER''': Governor -- Governor Richardson, yes? '''RICHARDSON''': Yes, I would. '''COOPER''': OK. Senator Biden? '''BIDEN''': I don't have Barack Obama money either. My net worth is $70,000 to $150,000. That's what happens you get elected at 29. I couldn't afford to stay in the Congress for the minimum wage. But if I get a second job, I'd do it. '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich? '''KUCINICH''': Anderson, I live in the same house I purchased in 1971 for $22,500. I think we need to increase the minimum wage and so all my neighbors can get an increase in their wages. '''COOPER''': So would you work for it? '''KUCINICH''': I would. '''COOPER''': OK. '''KUCINICH''': But I wouldn't want to... '''COOPER''': By the way, you'd all get overtime, too. So don't worry about that. Let's watch another video here, another question. '''[QUESTION]''': This is Nancy McDonald from Wilmington, Delaware. '''[QUESTION]''': We all know that Social Security is running out of money, but people who earn over $97,500 stop paying into Social Security. What is up with that? '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd, what about that? The Congressional Research Service says that if all earnings were subject to payroll tax, the Social Security trust fund would remain solvent for the next 75 years. '''DODD''': I don't disagree with that. I think frankly this is an issue that comes to a head, as we all know, by the year 2040. Obviously, I think it would be important to start to address the issue. Certainly, we have no ideas, and I would be totally opposed to the privatization of Social Security. That is a very bad idea and I am glad we rejected it. But one of the ideas is to raise that level above $97,000. '''COOPER''': Do you support that? '''DODD''': I would support that. That is one of the solutions that would make a lot of sense to me to make the trust fund whole. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I think that it is an important option on the table, but the key, in addition to making sure that we don't privatize, because Social Security is that floor beneath none of us can sink. '''OBAMA''': And we've got to make sure that we preserve Social Security is to do the same thing that Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill were able to do back in 1983, which is come up with a bipartisan solution that puts Social Security on a firm footing for a long time. '''COOPER''': Another question on Social Security. '''[QUESTION]''': What's the dirtiest little secret in Washington? The U.S. is going broke. With the retirement of the baby boomers, things are only going to get worse. Fed Chairman Bernanke has said Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security need to be radically changed to avoid this crisis, yet everything is business as usual in D.C. There are two solutions, both of which are politically unpopular: Raise taxes or cut benefits. Which would you choose, and how would you convince the public to support you? '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson? '''RICHARDSON''': The best solution to those two issues is a bipartisan effort to fix it. '''RICHARDSON''': Medicare -- 33 percent of it is diabetes. Let's have major prevention programs, and also ways that we can ensure that we find a cure. Social Security -- stop raiding the Social Security trust fund. Stop talking about privatization. And then thirdly, let's look at a universal pension, 401(k) universal pension, that would assure portability for those that want to keep their pensions as they move into other professions. But what we need is a bipartisan effort. Put this issue aside. If I'm president, I would take this issue and I would say, Republicans, Democrats, within a year, let's find a solution. No politics. This is the safety net of this country. '''COOPER''': Here's a question on taxes. '''[QUESTION]''': This here is a two-part question. (SINGING): Pay taxes on my clothes and food, pay taxes on my place, pay taxes on my moisturizer, I pay taxes on my weights. I pay taxes on my land. Every year, y'all make me pay. I pay tax on this guitar so I can sing for you today. My taxes put some kids in college I can't afford to send myself. Now, tell me, if you were elected president, what would you do to help? Also, I got a parking ticket last week. Could one of y'all pardon me? '''COOPER''': Senator Biden, this guy's overtaxed. '''BIDEN''': First of all, change the tax structure. We are giving people tax breaks who don't need it. The top 1 percent got an $85 billion a year tax break. It is not needed. My dad used to have an expression -- don't tell me what you value; show me your budget. And the budget we have here is we all dance around it. We need more revenue to be able to pay for the things the governor and everybody else talks about. And there's only one way to do it. You either raise taxes or take tax cuts away from people who don't need them. I'd take them away from people who don't need them. '''COOPER''': I'm sorry. There's another tax question right here. '''[QUESTION]''': My name is Marcus Benson from Minneapolis. And I'd like to know, if the Democrats come into office, are my taxes going to rise like usually they do when a Democrats gets into office? '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich, are the taxes going to rise? '''KUCINICH''': The answer is no; that we're going to stop the tax increases that President Bush gave to people in the top brackets. We're going to end war as an instrument of policy, with the defense policy of strength through peace. So we're not going to be borrowing money from China to fight wars in Baghdad. We're going to lower our trade deficit by ending NAFTA and the WTO and going back to trade based on worker's rights. We're going to have a change in our economy so that people will be able to get something for the taxes they pay but they're not going to have to pay more. '''COOPER''': One of the most popular topics that we got questions on was health care. We, frankly, were overwhelmed with videos on health care, so we put several of them together. I want to show you some personal stories. '''[QUESTION]''': Mark and Joel Strauss, Davenport, Iowa. Not every parent has the luxury of two loving sons to care for them during Alzheimer's. '''[QUESTION]''': My question for the candidates is, people like us -- the baby boomer generation -- is going to see a boom of Alzheimer's over the upcoming decades. What are you prepared to do to fight this disease now? '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. These are my grandmothers. Both of them suffered from diabetes and ultimately died of massive heart attacks. This is my mother. She suffers from diabetes and she's also had a heart attack. The statistics for women with heart disease are staggering. What I'd like to know is, how do each of you plan on addressing chronic disease and preventative health in your health care plans? I would like my mother to be around to see her grandchildren. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. My name is Kim. I'm 36 years old and hope to be a future breast cancer survivor from Long Island. My chances for survivor aren't as good as they might be, however, because like millions of Americans, I've gone for years without health insurance that would have allowed me to take preventative medicine. '''[QUESTION]''': What would you as president do to make low-cost or free preventive medicine available for everybody in this country? Thank you. (VIDEO CLIP) '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, 45 million uninsured Americans. Senator Edwards says your plan doesn't really provide universal coverage. Does it? '''OBAMA''': Absolutely it does. John and I have a disagreement. John thinks that the only way we get universal coverage is to mandate coverage. I think that the problem is not that people are trying to avoid getting health care coverage. It is folks like that who are desperately in desire of it, but they can can't afford it. '''OBAMA''': And I know from personal experience. My mother, when she was between jobs, contracted cancer, and she spent the last few months of her life trying to figure out whether or not she was going to be able to pay for the treatments. It is an outrage. How is that the wealthiest nation on Earth cannot afford to provide coverage to all people? And that's why I put forward a plan. But let's understand this. Everybody here is going to have a plan. John's got a plan. I've got a plan. Hopefully, everybody here will provide a plan for universal coverage. But we've had plan before, under a Democratic president in the '90s and a Democratic Congress. We couldn't get it done because the drug insurance -- drug and insurance companies are spending $1 billion over the last decade on lobbying. And that's why we've got to have a president who is willing to fight to make sure that they don't have veto power. They can have a seat at the table, but they can't buy every single chair when it comes to crafting the sort of universal health care that's going to help the folks that you saw in that video. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards... '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards, does Senator Obama provide universal coverage? '''EDWARDS''': No, because the only way to provide universal coverage is to mandate that everyone be covered. But I want to say, you know, I came out with a universal plan several months ago. A couple of months later, Senator Obama came out with a plan. He's made a very serious proposal, and I'm not casting aspersions on his plan. I think it's a very serious proposal. It just doesn't cover everybody. The only way to cover everybody is to mandate it. And the stories we have just heard, from diabetes, to Alzheimer's, to cancer -- there are millions of people in this country who are suffering so badly. And just this past week -- in fact, you were with me on the third day -- I went on a three-day poverty tour in America. The last day, I was with a man in western Virginia, in the Appalachian mountains -- 51 years old, three years younger than me. '''EDWARDS''': He'd been born with a severe cleft palate, and he was proud of the fact that someone had finally volunteered to correct it. He had not been able to talk -- I want to finish this. He had not been able to talk until it was fixed. Here was the problem. It was fixed when he was 50 years old. For five decades, James Lowe lived in the richest nation on the planet not able to talk because he couldn't afford the procedure that would've allowed him to talk. When are we going to stand up and do something about this? We have talked about it too long. We have got to stand up to the insurance companies and the drug companies that Barack just spoke about. It is the only way we're ever going to bring about real change. We should be outraged by these stories. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, this goes back to the first question that we got. How is it going to be any different under your administration? '''CLINTON''': Well, first, I want to thank Mark and Joel and Charity and Kim and Mike. You know, it's not easy coming in front of the entire world and talking about your Alzheimer's, or your diabetes or your breast cancer, or your disability. '''CLINTON''': But the fact that this is happening in a country as rich as ours is just a national disgrace. And, yes, I did try in '93 and '94, and I like to say I have the scars to show for it, but I learned a lot about what we have to do. And having a plan, yes, that's part of it. But more important, we have to have a sense of national commitment that universal health care is an American value. We have to quit being told the special interests, like the insurance companies and the drug companies, that, somehow, we can't do what most other developed countries do, which is cover everybody and provide decency and respect to every single person in this country with health care. '''COOPER''': All right. I've got another question on health care. Let's watch. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, this is Lucia Ballie for a group of friends on the east side of L.A. And our question is: Does your health care plan cover undocumented workers? '''[QUESTION]''': Thank you. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd? '''DODD''': First of all, I hope all of us get a chance to comment on this issue. This is a huge issue that deserves the attention and every candidate here ought to have the chance to talk about health care. (CROSSTALK) '''DODD''': First of all, the woman with the Alzheimer's issue -- stem cell research. Under a Dodd administration, stem cell research will be conducted so they can deal with diabetes. Regarding the family that's talking about diabetes, 49 percent of our school districts have exclusive contracts with soft drink companies and junk food companies because we're not funding enough in our education system. That's an obesity problem as well. '''COOPER''': Would your plan cover undocumented workers? '''DODD''': It would. People who live in this country -- children certainly would be covered. And I'm in support of the immigration policy here that requires them to contribute so that... '''COOPER''': So that's a yes? '''DODD''': If they're paying part of that thing, then they also get covered. Because, frankly, I don't want them contributing disease problems and health issues to the rest of the... '''COOPER''': Let's try to answer the question. '''COOPER''': Would your plan, Governor Richardson, cover undocumented workers? '''RICHARDSON''': Yes, it would. It should cover everybody. In this country, no matter who you are, whether you're a ditch- digger, you're a teacher, you're a CEO, you're a waiter, you're a maid, every American deserves the right to the best possible quality health care. That would be part of my plan. But also, it is prevention. It's starting early with kids. It's having -- get rid of junk food in schools, as I did in New Mexico... ... a healthy breakfast for every child, mandatory phys ed, research into Alzheimer's, into cancer, into stem cell. '''COOPER''': OK. Another question from a YouTube viewer. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. My name is Chris Nolan and I'm a Democratic precinct committeeman from Mundelein, Illinois. And my question is for Hillary Clinton. With Bush, Clinton, and Bush again serving as the last three presidents, how would electing you, a Clinton, constitute the type of change in Washington so many people in the heartland are yearning for, and what your campaign has been talking about? I was also wondering if any of the other candidates had a problem with the same two families being in charge of the executive branch of government for 28 consecutive years, if Hillary Clinton were to potentially be elected and then re-elected. '''[QUESTION]''': Good luck. And, whoever becomes the nominee, I'm pulling for you. '''[QUESTION]''': Go Democrats! '''COOPER''': The question is for Senator Clinton. '''CLINTON''': Well, I think it is a problem that Bush was elected in 2000. '''CLINTON''': I actually thought somebody else was elected in that election, but... '''CLINTON''': Obviously, I am running on my own merits, but I am very proud of my husband's record as president of the United States. '''CLINTON''': You know what is great about this is look at this stage and look at the diversity you have here in the Democratic Party. Any one of us would be a better president than our current president or the future Republican nominee. '''CLINTON''': So I'm looking forward to making my case to the people of this country... '''COOPER''': Time. '''CLINTON''': ... and I hope they will judge me on my merits. '''COOPER''': Thirty seconds, Senator Gravel. Do you have a problem with it? '''GRAVEL''': Well, yes, I do, a serious problem. The Democratic Party used to stand for the ordinary working man. But the Clintons and the DLC sold out the Democratic Party to Wall Street. Look at where all the money is being raised right now, for Hillary, Obama and Edwards. It's the hedge funds, it's Wall Street bankers, it's the people who brought you what you have today. Please wake up. Just look at the New York Times of the 17th of July that analyzes where the money's coming from. '''COOPER''': Time's up. '''GRAVEL''': It comes from the bankers on Wall Street and of course hedge funds, which is code for bankers on Wall Street. And they're lock, stock and barrel in their pocket. '''COOPER''': Since you went to Senator Obama, we'll let you respond, if you want. '''OBAMA''': Look, I think every single question we've heard you see cynicism about the capacity to change this country. And the question for the American people, who desperately want change, is: Who's got a track record of bringing about change? Who can unify the country, so that we're not just talking about Democrats and Republicans, but we're talking about Americans? And who can overcome the special interests in Washington so that we have a president of the United States who is fighting on behalf of ordinary people? '''COOPER''': In our remaining... '''OBAMA''': And that, I think, is going to be the kind of president that is going to be elected -- is going to be nominated by the Democrats, and I believe that I'm best qualified to fill that role. '''COOPER''': In our remaining few minutes, the questions turn to two subjects -- God and guns. First question. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, I'm Zenne Abraham in Oakland, California. The cathedral behind me is the perfect backdrop for this question. This quarter reads "United States of America." And when I turn it over, you find that it reads "liberty, in God we trust." What do those words mean to you? Thank you. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden. '''BIDEN''': Religion informs my values. '''BIDEN''': My reason dictates outcomes. My religion taught me about abuse of power. That's why I moved to write the Violence Against Women Act. That's why I take the position I take on Darfur. It came about as a consequence of the reasoning that we're able to do it. You know, look, I don't think they're inconsistent. I don't find anything inconsistent about my deep, religious beliefs and my ability to use reason. I think the coin's got it just right. I think I have it in perspective. '''COOPER''': Here's a here.

'''[QUESTION]''': What's up? I'm running out of tape; I have to hurry. So my question is: We have a bunch of leaders who can't seem to do their job. And we pick people based on the issues they that they represent, but then they get in power and they don't do anything about it anyway. You're going to spend this whole night talking about your views on issues, but the issues don't matter if when you get in power nothing's going to get done. We have a Congress and a president with, like, a 30 percent approval rating, so clearly we don't think they're doing a good job. What's going to make you any more effectual, beyond all the platitudes and the stuff we're used to hearing? I mean, be honest with us. How are you going to be any different? '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd, you've been in Congress more than 30 years. Can you honestly say you're any different? '''SENATOR CHRISTOPHER DODD''': Well, I think so. First of all, thank you for inviting us here in The Citadel. It's great to be here at this wonderful college, university. Certainly, I think it's a very important question one ought to be asking because, while hope and confidence and optimism are clearly very important, I think experience matters a great deal -- the experience people bring to their candidacy, the ideas, the bold ideas that they've championed over the years, whether or not they were successful in advancing those ideas and able to bring people together. I'm very proud of the fact that, over my 26 years in the Senate, I've authored landmark legislation, the Family and Medical Leave Act, child care legislation, reform of financial institutions. In every case, those are new ideas, bold ideas, that I campaigned on and then were able to achieve in the United States Senate by bringing Republicans as well as Democrats together around those issues. That's what's missing, more than anything else, I think, right now, is the ability to bring people together to get the job done. '''COOPER''': But if someone really wants a change, are you the guy to give it to them? '''DODD''': Well, I think they ought to look back. Speeches are easy to make and rhetoric is easy to expose here. But I think the idea of looking back and saying, "What have you done?" --if you want to get a good idea of where someone is going to lead or how they're going to lead, I think it's very appropriate to say, "What have you done? Show me. Demonstrate to me the ability to get these things done that you've championed in the past." '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, your supporters say you are different. Your critics say you're inexperienced. You're a first-term senator. '''SENATOR BARACK OBAMA''': Well, I think the questioner hit the nail on the head. As I travel around the country, people have an urgent desire for change in Washington. And we are not going to fix health care, we're not going to fix energy, we are not going to do anything about our education system unless we change how business is done in Washington. Now, part of that is bringing people together, as Chris said. But part of it is also overcoming special interests and lobbyists who are writing legislation that's critical to the American people. And one of the things I bring is a perspective as a community organizer, as a state legislator, as well as a U.S. senator, that says: Washington has to change. '''COOPER''': A lot of people say -- Congressman Kucinich, your supporters certainly say you are different. Even your critics would certainly say you are different. Here's a direct question for you. '''DAVIS FLEETWOOD''': Hello. My name is Davis Fleetwood. I'm from Groton, Massachusetts. My question is for Dennis Kucinich. After watching the first several debates, which seemed more like conversations than actually debates, we're all clear out here that you Democrats are united. We get it. But we have a very important decision to make coming up very soon, and Americans desperate for a change need to know: Congressman Kucinich, how would America be better off with you as president than we would be if either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama became president? '''COOPER''': What do you have that Senator Clinton and Senator Obama do not have? '''REPRESENTATIVE DENNIS KUCINICH''': Well, first of all, a clear record as having not only opposed the war from the very beginning -- the only one of the stage that actually voted against the war, and also the only one on the stage who voted against funding the war 100 percent of the time. You know, we're here at The Citadel. I want the people of The Citadel to know that I mourn the passing of those people who gave their lives, but I also would not hesitate to call upon you to defend this country, but I'll never send you in pursuit of a political agenda or a lie. Just like my father before me, who served in the Marines, and my brother who served in the Marines in Vietnam, and my nephew who served in Iraq, I believed in duty and honor and I think it's important to have those commitments to this country. And so I say we achieve strength through peace. That's the new doctrine that I'm going to promote throughout this campaign; that we'll use the science of human relations and diplomacy; that we pursue an approach which says that you can use international agreements and treaties; and that you can work to settle your differences without committing the young men and women to war, unless it's absolutely necessary. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, you were involved in that question. I want to give you a chance to respond, 30 seconds. '''SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON''': Well, I think the Democrats are united, as Davis said, and we are united for change. We cannot take another four or eight years of Republican leadership that has been so disastrous for our country. The issue is: Which of us is ready to lead on day one? I have 35 years of being an instrument and agent of change, before I was ever a public official. And during the time that I've been privileged to serve as first lady and now as senator, I've worked to bring people together, to find common ground where we can, and then to stand our ground where we can't. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, you were involved in that question as well. '''OBAMA''': Look, I don't think this is just a Republican problem. I think this is a problem that spans the parties. And we don't just need a change in political parties in Washington. We've got to have a change in attitudes of those who are representing the people, America. And part of the reason I don't take PAC money, I don't take federal lobbyists' money is because we've got to get the national interests up front as opposed to the special interests. And that is something that I've got a track record doing, and I think that is what the American people are looking for in this election -- people of both parties as well as independents. '''COOPER''': Our next question is for Senator Clinton. '''ROB PORTER''': Hi. My name is Rob Porter, and I'm from Irvine, California. I have a question for Hillary Clinton. Mrs. Clinton, how would you define the word "liberal?" And would you use this word to describe yourself? Thank you. '''CLINTON''': You know, it is a word that originally meant that you were for freedom, that you were for the freedom to achieve, that you were willing to stand against big power and on behalf of the individual. Unfortunately, in the last 30, 40 years, it has been turned up on its head and it's been made to seem as though it is a word that describes big government, totally contrary to what its meaning was in the 19th and early 20th century. I prefer the word "progressive," which has a real American meaning, going back to the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century. I consider myself a modern progressive, someone who believes strongly in individual rights and freedoms, who believes that we are better as a society when we're working together and when we find ways to help those who may not have all the advantages in life get the tools they need to lead a more productive life for themselves and their family. So I consider myself a proud modern American progressive, and I think that's the kind of philosophy and practice that we need to bring back to American politics. '''COOPER''': So you wouldn't use the word "liberal," you'd say "progressive." Senator Gravel, are you a liberal? '''FORMER SENATOR MIKE GRAVEL''': I wouldn't use either word. Zach asked about change. You're not going to see any change when these people get elected. We were asked about -- that we're united. We're not united. I'm not united on many of their views. And I want to take on Barack Obama for a minute, who said he doesn't take money from lobbyists. Well, he has 134 bundlers. Now, what does he think that is? And, besides that, he has received money from a Robert Wolf, the head of the USB (sic) bank in the United States, who raised $195,000 -- from this bank -- wait a second -- who has lobbyists in Washington... '''COOPER''': Your time is up. '''GRAVEL''': ... and it's a foreign-owned bank. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, I'm going to have to let you respond. '''OBAMA''': Absolutely. Well, the fact is I don't take PAC money and I don't take lobbyists' money. And the bundlers -- the reason you know who is raising money for me, Mike, is because I have pushed through a law this past session to disclose that. And that's the kind of leadership that I've shown in the Senate. That's the kind of leadership that I showed when I was a state legislator. And that's the kind of leadership that I'll show as president of the United States. '''GRAVEL''': Wait a minute... '''COOPER''': Our next question is for Senator Biden. '''[QUESTION]''': Hello. This question is for all of the candidates. Partisanship played a major role in why nothing can be done in Washington today. All of you say you will be able to work with Republicans. Well, here's a test. If you had to pick any Republican member of Congress or Republican governor to be your running mate, who would it be? '''SENATOR JOE BIDEN''': At the risk of hurting his reputation -- and it will hurt him -- but I would pick Chuck Hagel, and I'd consider asking Dick Lugar to be secretary of state. And I do have -- I do have a record of significant accomplishment. The crime bill, which became known as the Clinton crime bill, was written by Joe Biden, the Biden crime bill. That required me to cross over, get everyone together, not -- no one's civil liberties were in any way jeopardized. We put 100,000 cops on the street. Violent crime came down. The Violence against Women Act, what we did in Bosnia, and so on. So I have a track record of being able to cross over and get things done. And by the way, if you want to end all this money, support my effort to pass public financing of all elections. '''COOPER''': All right. Stay on the topic. Senator Edwards? Any Republicans? '''FORMER SENATOR JOHN EDWARDS''': Actually, I think Chuck Hagel is a good choice. But I -- if you listen to these questions, they all have exactly the same thing, which is how do we bring about big change? And I think that's a fundamental threshold question. And the question is: Do you believe that compromise, triangulation will bring about big change? I don't. I think the people who are powerful in Washington -- big insurance companies, big drug companies, big oil companies -- they are not going to negotiate. They are not going to give away their power. The only way that they are going to give away their power is if we take it away from them. And I have been standing up to these people my entire life. I have been fighting them my entire life in court rooms -- and beating them. If you want real change, you need somebody who's taking these people on and beating them... '''COOPER''': Time. '''EDWARDS''': ... over and over and over. '''COOPER''': The other thing you're going to see tonight are candidate videos. We've asked each campaign to put together a 30- second YouTube-style video. The first one is from Senator Chris Dodd. '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''': :'''[QUESTION]''': Senator, I have to ask, what's with the white hair? : :'''DODD''': I don't know why you bring that up. Bill Richardson, Hillary, Joe Biden and I, we're all about the same age. I don't think the white hair is an issue. : :'''[QUESTION]''': Well, how did you get the white hair? : :'''DODD''': Hard work, I suppose. For example, it took me seven years to pass the Family and Medical Leave Act, and I helped to end wars in Central America and bring peace to Northern Ireland. I'm ready to be president. : :'''[QUESTION]''': Well, how many white hairs do you have? : :'''DODD''': Hundreds, thousands, I presume. : :'''[QUESTION]''': Really? : :'''DODD''': I'm Chris Dodd, and we approved this message. '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' '''COOPER''': There you go. Nothing wrong with white hair. '''DODD''': A young person with white hair, too? '''COOPER''': Yes, sadly, my age is catching up to my hair. Almost 50 percent of South Carolina's Democrats are African- Americans. It's among the highest percentage of the nation. So we're giving a lot of questions from YouTube viewers on race tonight. This first one is for Senator Edwards. Let's listen. '''[QUESTION]''': Hello, America. Hello, presidential candidates. This is Will from Boston, Massachusetts. And I hope, you know, they put this question on. It's a question in the back of everybody's head. You know, in some people, it's further back than others, collecting cobwebs. But is African-Americans ever going to get reparations for slavery? I know you all are going to run around this question, dipping and dodging, so let's see how far you all can get. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards, no dipping and dodging. Should African-Americans get reparations? '''EDWARDS''': I'm not for reparations. I can answer that questions. But I think there are other things we can do to create some equality that doesn't exist in this country today. Today there was a report that, right here in Charleston, African Americans are paying more than their white counterparts for mortgages than any other place in America, any other place in the United States of America. And here's an example. What is the conceivable explanation for this, that black people are paying more for their mortgage? And, by the way, it's not just low-income African Americans; it's high-income African-Americans. There's absolutely no explanation for this. It goes to the basic question that I raised just a few minutes ago. To have a president that's going to -- is going to fight for equality, fight for real change, big change, bold change, we're going to have to somebody -- we can't trade our insiders for their insiders. That doesn't work. What we need is somebody who will take these people on, these big banks, these mortgage companies, big insurance companies, big drug companies. That's the only way we're going to bring about change. And I will do that as president. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, your position on reparations? '''OBAMA''': I think the reparations we need right here in South Carolina is investment, for example, in our schools. I did a &ndash; I did a town hall meeting in Florence, South Carolina, in an area called the corridor of shame. They've got buildings that students are trying to learn in that were built right after the Civil War. And we've got teachers who are not trained to teach the subjects they're teaching and high dropout rates. We've got to understand that there are corridors of shame all across the country. And if we make the investments and understand that those are our children, that's the kind of reparations that are really going to make a difference in America right now. '''COOPER''': Is anyone on the stage for reparations for slavery for African-Americans? Are you? '''KUCINICH''': I am. The Bible says we shall be and must be repairers of the breach. And a breach has occurred. We have to acknowledge that. It's a breach that has resulted in inequality in opportunities for education, for health care, for housing, for employment. And so, we must be mindful of that. But it's also a breach that has affected a lot of poor whites as well. We need to have a country which recognizes that there is an inequality of opportunity and a president who's ready to challenge the interest groups -- be they insurance companies or mortgage companies or defense contractors who are taking the money away from the people who need it. '''COOPER''': Time. '''KUCINICH''': Yes, I am for repairing the breach. Yes, I am for reparations. '''COOPER''': Our next question is for Senator Dodd. '''[QUESTION]''': Do you believe the response in the wake of Hurricane Katrina would have been different if the storm hit an affluent, predominantly white city? What roles do you believe race and class played in the storm's aftermath? And if you acknowledge that race and class affected the response efforts, what can you do to ensure that this won't happen in the future? And what can you do to ensure this nation's most needy people, in times of crisis and always, something will be done to help them too? '''DODD''': Well, it's a great question, Morgan, to raise here. It, obviously, points to one of the most dark and shameful moments in recent past history in our country -- the fact that a major American city went through a natural disaster, and we found almost little to do. The American president had almost no response whatsoever to the people of that city, New Orleans. In fact, today still, the problem persists where people who had to move out of their city, move elsewhere, and little or no efforts to make sure they can get back in their homes. They have literally thousands of people whose homes were destroyed, their economic opportunities destroyed. I believe that had this occurred in a place with mainly a white population, we would have seen a much more rapid response and a consistent response to that issue. As an American president, we can never, ever allow again a major city, a major population center in our country go through what New Orleans, what the Gulf states did as a result of the kind of neglect from an American president. As president, I would commit to do everything possible we bring to bear the talents, the resources. In fact, it should have been done ahead of time, to have a FEMA operation that was prepared to respond to these predictable disasters. So it's a mark of shame on our country. It ought to be reversed. It will in the Dodd administration. '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson, the Democrats talk a lot about the failure of the president with Hurricane Katrina. The governor of that state was a Democrat; the mayor of that city is a Democrat as well. '''GOVENOR BILL RICHARDSON''': Well, there was politics. All of a sudden, other states that had the similar devastation got better treatment, like Mississippi. This is what I would do. The response of our government to Katrina, before, during and after, was inexcusable. We have got to eliminate in the future any red tape that helps families -- that helps the devastation. Secondly, we have to let those that live there to come back first, instead of big moneyed interests. We have to stop the predatory lending of insurance companies, housing and many others that are ripping off the people. And then, finally, we have to make sure that a president cares -- and doesn't just pose for photo ops, but makes a difference and a commitment to rebuild that city and that region. '''COOPER''': Our next question comes from Jordan Williams. '''[QUESTION]''': Hello. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am a student at K.U., from Coffeyville, Kansas. This question is meant for Senator Obama and Senator Clinton. Whenever I read an editorial about one of you, the author never fails to mention the issue of race or gender, respectively. Either one is not authentically black enough, or the other is not satisfactorily feminine. How will you address these critics and their charges if one or both of you should end up on the Democratic ticket in '08? '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, how do you address those who say you're not authentically black enough? '''OBAMA''': Well... '''COOPER''': Not my question; Jordan's question. '''OBAMA''': You know, when I'm catching a cab in Manhattan -- in the past, I think I've given my credentials. But let me go to the broader issue here. And that is that race permeates our society. It is still a critical problem. But I do believe in the core decency of the American people, and I think they want to get beyond some of our racial divisions. Unfortunately, we've had a White House that hasn't invested in the kinds of steps that have to be done to overcome the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow in this country. And as president of the United States, my commitment on issues like education, my commitment on issues like health care is to close the disparities and the gaps, because that's what's really going to solve the race problem in this country. If people feel like they've got a fair shake, if children feel as if the fact that they have a different surname or they've got a different skin color is not going to impede their dreams, then I am absolutely confident that we're going to be able to move forward on the challenges that we face as a country. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, you have a minute as well since this question is to you. '''CLINTON''': Well, I couldn't run as anything other than a woman. I am proud to be running as a woman. And I'm excited that I may &ndash; you know, may be able, finally, to break that hardest of all glass ceilings. But, obviously, I'm not running because I'm a woman. I'm running because I think I'm the most qualified and experienced person to hit the ground running in January 2009. And I trust the American people to make a decision that is not about me or my gender, or about Barack or his race or about Bill and his ethnicity, but about what is best for you and your family. We have big challenges &ndash; and big needs in our country. And I think we're going to need experienced and strong leadership in order to start handling all of the problems that we have here at home and around the world. And when I'm inaugurated, I think it's going to send a great message to a lot of little girls and boys around the world. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards... Senator Edwards, earlier this week, your wife said that you would be a better advocate for women than Senator Clinton. Was she right? '''EDWARDS''': Well, let me say first that on the question that was just asked to Senator Obama... '''COOPER''': We prefer you stay on the question... '''EDWARDS''': I'm going to stay on your question. I promise I'll answer that question. But the first thing I want to say -- and I want to speak for everybody, I believe, on this stage -- anybody who's considering not voting for Senator Obama because he's black or for Senator Clinton because she's a woman, I don't want their vote. I don't want them voting for me. I think what Elizabeth was saying was -- to answer your question, what Elizabeth was saying was there are very important issues facing women in this country. More women are affected by the minimum wage than men are affected by the minimum wage. I have been the most aggressive -- in fact, I would challenge every Democrat on this stage today to commit to raising the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by the year 2012. Second, there are more women in poverty than men in poverty. And I have made this a central cause in my life and a central cause in my campaign. More women have difficulty getting the health care that they need than men do. And I was the first person to come out with a comprehensive, truly universal health care plan. '''COOPER''': So do you think you're a better advocate for women than Senator Clinton? '''EDWARDS''': Those are issues -- listen, Senator Clinton has a long history of speaking out on behalf of women. She deserves to be commended for that. But I believe that on the issues that directly affect women's lives, I have the strongest, boldest ideas and can bring about the change that needs to be brought. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, is he a better advocate for women? '''CLINTON''': Anderson, I have a great deal of admiration for Elizabeth Edwards. And I appreciate greatly John's comments. You know, I have spent my entire life advocating for women. I went to Beijing in 1995 and said that women's rights are human rights, and I've done everything I can to make that principle come true. And, specifically on issues, I got to vote to raise the minimum wage. I put in legislation which said that Congress should not get a salary increase until they did raise the minimum wage, and I am putting that back in, because I agree that by the time we got it raised after 10 years, it was already out of date. And as to women in poverty and women with health care needs, I have been on the forefront of both advocating and creating change in my public service, in my time in Arkansas, the White House, and now in the Senate. But I think it is terrific. We're up here arguing about who's going to be better for women, because isn't that a nice change for everybody to hear. '''COOPER''': Our next question is on a topic that got a lot of response from YouTube viewers. Let's watch. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. My name is Mary. '''[QUESTION]''': And my name is Jen. '''[QUESTION]''': And we're from Brooklyn, New York. If you were elected president of the United States, would you allow us to be married to each other? '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich? '''KUCINICH''': Mary and Jen, the answer to your question is yes. And let me tell you why. Because if our Constitution really means what it says, that all are created equal, if it really means what it says, that there should be equality of opportunity before the law, then our brothers and sisters who happen to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender should have the same rights accorded to them as anyone else, and that includes the ability to have a civil marriage ceremony. Yes, I support you. And welcome to a better and a new America under a President Kucinich administration. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd, you supported the Defense of Marriage Act. What's your position? '''DODD''': I've made the case, Anderson, that -- my wife and I have two young daughters, age 5 and 2. I'd simply ask the audience to ask themselves the question that Jackie and I have asked: How would I want my two daughters treated if they grew up and had a different sexual orientation than their parents? Good jobs, equal opportunity, to be able to retire, to visit each other, to be with each other, as other people do. So I feel very strongly, if you ask yourself the question, "How would you like your children treated if they had a different sexual orientation than their parents?," the answer is yes. They ought to have that ability in civil unions. I don't go so far as to call for marriage. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. But my state of Connecticut, the state of New Hampshire, have endorsed civil unions. I strongly support that. But I don't go so far as marriage. '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson? '''RICHARDSON''': Well, I would say to the two young women, I would level with you -- I would do what is achievable. What I think is achievable is full civil unions with full marriage rights. I would also press for you a hate crimes act in the Congress. I would eliminate "don't ask/don't tell" in the military. If we're going to have in our military men and women that die for this country, we shouldn't give them a lecture on their sexual orientation. I would push for domestic partnership laws, nondiscrimination in insurance and housing. I would also send a very strong message that, in my administration, I will not tolerate any discrimination on the basis of race, gender, or sexual orientation. '''COOPER''': This next question is for Senator Edwards. '''REGGIE LONGCRIER''': I'm Reverend Reggie Longcrier. I'm the pastor of Exodus Mission and Outreach Church in Hickory, North Carolina. Senator Edwards said his opposition to gay marriage is influenced by his Southern Baptist background. Most Americans agree it was wrong and unconstitutional to use religion to justify slavery, segregation, and denying women the right to vote. So why is it still acceptable to use religion to deny gay American their full and equal rights? '''EDWARDS''': I think Reverend Longcrier asks a very important question, which is whether fundamentally -- whether it's right for any of our faith beliefs to be imposed on the American people when we're president of the United States. I do not believe that's right. I feel enormous personal conflict about this issue. I want to end discrimination. I want to do some of the things that I just heard Bill Richardson talking about -- standing up for equal rights, substantive rights, civil unions, the thing that Chris Dodd just talked about. But I think that's something everybody on this stage will commit themselves to as president of the United States. But I personally have been on a journey on this issue. I feel enormous conflict about it. As I think a lot of people know, Elizabeth spoke -- my wife Elizabeth spoke out a few weeks ago, and she actually supports gay marriage. I do not. But this is a very, very difficult issue for me. And I recognize and have enormous respect for people who have a different view of it. '''COOPER''': I should also point out that the reverend is actually in the audience tonight. Where is he? Right over here. Reverend, do you feel he answered your question? '''[QUESTION]''': This question was just a catalyst that promoted some other things that wrapped around that particular question, especially when it comes to fair housing practices. Also... '''COOPER''': Do you think he answered the question, though? '''[QUESTION]''': Not like I would like to have heard it... '''COOPER''': What did you not hear? '''[QUESTION]''': I didn't quite get -- some people were moving around, and I didn't quite get all of his answer. I just heard... '''COOPER''': All right, there's 30 seconds more. Why is it OK to quite religious beliefs when talking about why you don't support something? That's essentially what's his question. '''EDWARDS''': It's not. I mean, I've been asked a personal question which is, I think, what Reverend Longcrier is raising, and that personal question is, do I believe and do I personally support gay marriage? The honest answer to that is I don't. But I think it is absolutely wrong, as president of the United States, for me to have used that faith basis as a basis for denying anybody their rights, and I will not do that when I'm president of the United States. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, the laws banning interracial marriage in the United States were ruled unconstitutional in 1967. What is the difference between a ban on interracial marriage and a ban on gay marriage? '''OBAMA''': Well, I think that it is important to pick up on something that was said earlier by both Dennis and by Bill, and that is that we've got to make sure that everybody is equal under the law. And the civil unions that I proposed would be equivalent in terms of making sure that all the rights that are conferred by the state are equal for same-sex couples as well as for heterosexual couples. Now, with respect to marriage, it's my belief that it's up to the individual denominations to make a decision as to whether they want to recognize marriage or not. But in terms of, you know, the rights of people to transfer property, to have hospital visitation, all those critical civil rights that are conferred by our government, those should be equal. '''COOPER''': We're going to take a quick break, but before we go we're going to show another candidate video. This one is from the Clinton campaign. And then when we come back from the break, we'll see one from the -- from Senator Edwards' campaign. ''[COMMERCIAL BREAK]'' '''COOPER''': That was just one of the candidates' videos. If you're just joining us, that's one of the candidate videos you're going to be seeing throughout the evening as we go to commercial breaks. Let's turn international now. We've got a lot of international questions. Let's listen. '''[QUESTION]''': I'm Gabriel. And I'm Connie, from a refugee camp near Darfur. Before you answer this question, imagine yourself the parent of one of these children. What action do you commit to that will get these children back home to a safe Darfur and not letting it be yet another empty promise? '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson, what are you going to do? Would you commit American troops? '''RICHARDSON''': I was at that refugee camp. And there was a refugee, a woman who came up to me. She'd been raped, her husband had been killed and she said, "When is America going to start helping?" This is what I would do: It's diplomacy. It's getting U.N. peacekeeping troops and not African Union troops. It's getting China to pressure Sudan. It's getting the European Union to be part of economic sanctions in Sudan. It's called leadership. A no-fly zone, I believe, would be an option. But we have to be concerned about humanitarian workers being hurt by planes, being shot. The answer here is caring about Africa. The answer here is not just thinking of our strategic interests as a country, as oil and Europe and the Middle East. It should be Africa, Asia and Latin America, doing something about poverty, about AIDS, about refugees, about those that have been left behind. That's how we restore American leadership in this country. '''COOPER''': You say U.N. troops. Does that mean American troops? '''RICHARDSON''': United Nations peacekeeping troops, and that would primarily be Muslim troops. We need a permanent U.N. peacekeeping force, stationed somewhere. If we get U.N. peacekeeping troops authorized for Darfur, there's some already there, it'll take six months for them to get there. Genocide is continuing there; 200,000 have died; close to 2 million refugees in that region. America needs to respond with diplomacy, with diplomatic leadership. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden, in the past, you've talked about NATO troops. What about American troops? '''BIDEN''': Absolutely, positively. Look, I'm so tired of this. Let's get right to it. I heard the same arguments after I came back from meeting with Milosevic: We can't act; we can't send troops there. Where we can, America must. Why Darfur? Because we can. We should now. Those kids will be dead by the time the diplomacy is over. I'm not joking. I've been to that camp. I walked through that camp. You know what happened when I landed? When I landed and the dust settled, a young African aid worker came up to me and he looked at me and he said, "Thank you. Thank you, America, for coming." You don't understand -- they don't understand. They think we can save them. And guess what? We can. Twenty-five hundred American troops -- if we do not get the 21,000 U.N. troops in there -- can stop the genocide now. I have called for a no-fly zone. Everybody agreed, but you need troops on the ground. '''COOPER''': Time. Senator Gravel? '''GRAVEL''': The problem goes a little bit deeper than that. It's because we haven't owned up to our responsibilities to a sense of global governance. And so now, you've got a situation with the United States of America, as Joe says, wants to go in, but the African nations don't want us there. What's the message? They're afraid of us. They're flat afraid of us. And if you'll permit me, since I haven't got as much time as the others. '''COOPER''': Actually, no, you've got to answer just directly the question, 30 seconds. '''GRAVEL''': Thank you very much, Anderson. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, would you agree with Senator Biden? American troops should got to Darfur? '''CLINTON''': I agree completely that what we need to do is start acting instead of talking. That means accelerating the United Nations peacekeeping forces along with the African Union. It means moving more quickly on divestment and sanctions on the Sudanese government, including trying to use the diplomacy to get China involved. And, finally, it does mean a no-fly zone. We can do it in a way that doesn't endanger humanitarian relief. '''COOPER''': How about American troops on the ground? '''CLINTON''': I think NATO has to be there with the no-fly zone, and I think that only the United States can provide the logistical support and the air lift to make a no-fly zone and the actual delivery of humanitarian aid work. '''COOPER''': Just in the spirit of trying to get the answer, does that mean no American ground troops? '''CLINTON''': American ground troops I don't think belong in Darfur at this time. I think we need to focus on the United Nations peacekeeping troops and the African Union troops. We've got to figure out what we're doing in Iraq, where our troops are stretched thin, and Afghanistan, where we're losing the fight to al Qaeda and bin Laden. '''COOPER''': OK, want to talk about Iraq tonight. Before we do, I just want to put a picture up on the screen. That's United States Marine Corps 1st Lieutenant Shane Chiders. He was a 2001 graduate of this college, The Citadel. March 1st, 2003, it was just after sunrise when Lieutenant Chiders and his platoon were on a mission to capture an oil pumping station from Iraqi soldiers before the Iraqi soldiers could destroy it. During the operation, a stray bullet hit him just below his body armor. Lieutenant Chiders became the first U.S. service man to die inside Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom. In all, 12 Citadel graduates died in either Afghanistan or Iraq since September 11th, 2001, and over 1,100 have served in those two countries. Tonight we acknowledge their sacrifices and the sacrifices of all our service men and women now serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our first question on Iraq tonight comes from Barry Mitchell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. '''[QUESTION]''': Mitch from Philadelphia. My question for all the candidates: How do we pull out now? And the follow-up, are we watching the same blankin' war? I certainly wasn't a big fan of the invasion/liberation. It sickens me to hear about soldiers wounded and getting killed daily, not to mention innocent Iraqis, but how do we pull out now? The government's shaky; bombs daily. Don't you think if we pulled out now that would open it up for Iran and Syria, God knows who -- Russia -- how do we pull out now? And isn't it our responsibility to get these people up on their feet? I mean, do you leave a newborn baby to take care of himself? How do we pull out now? '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, how do we pull out now? '''OBAMA''': Look, I opposed this war from the start. Because I anticipated that we would be creating the kind of sectarian violence that we've seen and that it would distract us from the war on terror. '''COOPER''': Right... '''OBAMA''': I'm going to get to the question, Anderson. At this point, I think we can be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in. But we have to send a clear message to the Iraqi government as well as to the surrounding neighbors that there is no military solution to the problems that we face in Iraq. We just heard a White House spokesman, Tony Snow, excuse the fact that the Iraqi legislature went on vacation for three weeks because it's hot in Baghdad. Well, let me tell you: It is hot for American troops who are over there with 100 pounds worth of gear. And that kind of irresponsibility is not helpful. So we have to begin a phased withdrawal; have our combat troops out by March 31st of next year; and initiate the kind of diplomatic surge that is necessary in these surrounding regions to make sure that everybody is carrying their weight. And that is what I will do on day one, as president of the United States, if we have not done it in the intervening months. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden, how do we pull out now? That was the question. '''BIDEN''': Anderson, you've been there. You know we can't just pull out now. Let's get something straight. It's time to start to tell the truth. The truth of the matter is: If we started today, it would take one year, one year to get 160,000 troops physically out of Iraq, logistically. That's number one. Number two, you cannot pull out of Iraq without the follow-on that's been projected here, unless you have a political solution. I'm the only one that's offered a political solution. And it literally means separate the parties; give them jurisdiction in their own areas; have a decentralized government, a federal system. No central government will work. And, thirdly, the fact of the matter is, the very thing everybody's quoting is the very legislation I wrote in January. It said: Begin to draw down combat troops now; get the majority of the combat troops out by March of '08. There's not one person in here that can say we're going to eliminate all troops... '''COOPER''': OK, time. '''BIDEN''': ... unless you're going to eliminate every physical person who's an American in Iraq. '''COOPER''': Time. '''BIDEN''': Tell the truth for a change. '''COOPER''': Another question on Iraq. '''[QUESTION]''': Thank you for taking my question. The 2006 election gave the Democrats in office a mandate to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Since that time, 800 of our military service members have died there. As the mother of an American soldier deploying to Iraq for a second time, I would like to know if the perception is true that the Democrats are putting politics before conscience. How many more soldiers must die while these political games continue in our government? Is the reason why we are still in Iraq and seemingly will be for some time due to the Democrats' fear that blame for the loss of the war will be placed on them by the Republican spin machine? '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton? '''CLINTON''': Well, I want to thank her and her son for their service and their sacrifice. When we send a soldier or Marine to combat in Iraq, we really are sending a family. And since the election of 2006, the Democrats have tried repeatedly to win Republican support with a simple proposition that we need to set a timeline to begin bringing our troops home now. I happen to agree that there is no military solution, and the Iraqis refuse to pursue the political solutions. In fact, I asked the Pentagon a simple '''[QUESTION]''': Have you prepared for withdrawing our troops? In response, I got a letter accusing me of being unpatriotic; that I shouldn't be asking questions. Well, one of the problems is that there are a lot of questions that we're asking but we're not getting answers from the Bush administration. '''COOPER''': Time. '''CLINTON''': And it's time for the Republicans to join us in standing up to the president to bring our troops home. '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich, the Democrats have been in power for seven months. Nothing has changed in Iraq. '''KUCINICH''': If you're not going to answer the question, I'm going to answer the mother that troop -- question. The answer to your question, ma'am, is: Yes, it is politics. The Democrats have failed the American people. When we took over in January, the American people didn't expect us to give them a Democratic version of the war. They expected us to act quickly to end the war. And here's how we can do it. It doesn't take legislation. That's a phony excuse to say that you don't have the votes. We appropriated $97 billion a month ago. We should tell President Bush, no more funds for the war, use that money to bring the troops home, use it to bring the troops home. And, Anderson, right, now if people want to send that message to Congress... '''COOPER''': OK. Senator... '''KUCINICH''': ... they can text "Peace," 73223. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd -- we're going to see your campaign commercial. Senator Dodd, you're in the Congress. What about it? You've been in power seven months now. Nothing's changed in Iraq. '''DODD''': First of all, there are differences here. The first responsibility of the commander in chief is to keep our nation safe and secure. It has been said from the very beginning: There is no military solution to this civil war in Iraq. I think it's incumbent upon the Congress. There is a sense of disappointment. We should set that time certain. I don't normally advocate that here, but I know of no other way we're going to convince the political and religious leaders in Iraq to take seriously their responsibility to decide to form a nation-state or not. I think by saying with clarity here that we are withdrawing and redeploying our forces out of there, robustly pursuing diplomacy, which we have not done at all here. This administration treats statecraft and diplomacy as if it were a gift to your opponents here. We need to have a program here that allows us to become much more engaged in the region. The answer on Darfur isn't just what we do... '''COOPER''': No, no, no, no, let's not go to Darfur... '''DODD''': Well, no, because Iraq is related to Darfur, Anderson, here. It's because we're bogged down there at $10 billion a month, we've lost our moral leadership in the world. No one listens to us when it comes to foreign policy. That has to change in this country. That's the difference here. '''COOPER''': The question, though, is: Are the Democrats playing politics? '''RICHARDSON''': There's a big difference on Iraq between me and the senators, and here's where it is. The lives of our young troops are more important than George Bush's legacy. This is what I stand for: I believe we should bring all the troops home by the end of this year, in six months, with no residual forces -- no residual forces. This is critically important. A hundred American troops are dying every month. And this war is a quagmire. It's endless. '''COOPER''': Time. '''RICHARDSON''': And the time has come to bring the troops home. No politics. '''COOPER''': Time. '''RICHARDSON''': Get it done. '''COOPER''': The next question is for Senator Gravel. '''[QUESTION]''': My name is Don. I'm from West Virginia. My question is for Mike Gravel. In one of the previous debates you said something along the lines of the entire deaths of Vietnam died in vain. How do you expect to win in a country where probably a pretty large chunk of the people voting disagree with that statement and might very well be offended by it? I'd like to know if you plan to defend that statement, or if you're just going to flip-flop. Thanks. '''GRAVEL''': John, why would you think I would flip-flop? I've never flip-flopped before, and I like the question. I don't get very many of them, but I'll just tell you... Thank you. Thank you. Has it been fair thus far? I'll tell you, John, it's a set up question. Our soldiers died in Vietnam in vain. You can now, John, go to Hanoi and get a Baskin-Robbins ice cream cone. That's what you can do. And now we have most favored nation trade. What did all these people die for? What are they dying for right now in Iraq every single day? Let me tell you: There's only one thing worse than a soldier dying in vain; it's more soldiers dying in vain. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, are the soldiers dying in Iraq in vain? '''OBAMA''': Our soldiers have done everything that's been asked of them. They deposed Saddam Hussein. They have carried out extraordinarily difficult missions with great courage and great bravery. But, you know, one thing I have to say about Senator Clinton's comments a couple of moments ago. I think it's terrific that she's asking for plans from the Pentagon, and I think the Pentagon response was ridiculous. But what I also know is that the time for us to ask how we were going to get out of Iraq was before we went in. And that is something that too many of us failed to do. We failed to do it. And I do think that that is something that both Republicans and Democrats have to take responsibility for. When I am president of the United States, when I send our troops into battle, I am going to be absolutely sure that it is based on sound intelligence, and I'm going to tell the truth to the American people, as well as the families who are being asked to sacrifice. '''COOPER''': To the question of, did the troops -- are the troops dying in vain, though: Yes or no? '''OBAMA''': I never think that troops, like those who are coming out of The Citadel, who do their mission for their country, are dying in vain. But what I do think is that the civilian leadership and the commander in chief has a responsibility to make sure that they have the plans that are going to allow our troops to succeed in their mission. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards, are the troops -- did the troops in Vietnam die in vain? '''EDWARDS''': I don't think any of our troops die in vain when they go and do the duty that's been given to them by the commander in chief. No, I don't think they died in vain. But I think the question is -- the question is: What is going to be done to stop this war? The other people have raised the question earlier. And in fact, Senator Obama spoke just a minute ago about the White House agreeing that the parliament, the Iraqi parliament could take a month-long vacation because it was too hot, while our men and women are putting their lives on the line every day. Here's my question. While the Iraqi parliament is on vacation, is George Bush going to be on vacation in Crawford, Texas? What we need to do is turn up the heat on George Bush and hold him responsible and make this president change course. It is the only way he will change course. He will never change course unless he's made to do it. '''COOPER''': Got another question -- this one's relatively short -- from a Tony Fuller. Let's listen. '''[QUESTION]''': My name is Tony Fuller from Wilson, Ohio, and I was wondering if the candidates feel women should register for the draft when they turn 18. Why or why not? '''COOPER''': Should women register for selective service when they turn 18 like men do currently? Senator Dodd? '''DODD''': Well, yes, I think they should, in a sense. I'm opposed to a draft, but I think if you're going to have registration, it ought to be across lines so you don't just ask one gender to do the -- have the responsibility. So in my view that would be the fair thing to do. I happen to believe, by the way, Anderson, and taking the question here a bit further, and it's a good question that Tony has raised, I'm an advocate of universal nation service, not by mandating it, but one of the things I'm missing in our country is the shared experience. I served in the National Guard, I served in the reserves, I served in the Peace Corps in Latin America back in the '60s here. I want to see every American given the opportunity to serve their country in some way. I think we need to do more of that in the United States today. Elections ought to be more than just about a series of issues, but the shared experiences of service. It's so important that every American have that opportunity. It's something I strongly advocate and would advocate as president. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, do you think women should register for Selective Service? '''CLINTON''': I do. I don't support a draft. I think our all- volunteer military has performed superbly. But we've had women die in Iraq. We've had combat deaths of women in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I do think that women should register. I doubt very much that we'll ever have to go back to a draft. But I think it is fair to call upon every young American. And I agree completely with Chris. We've got to look for more ways for universal national service. I've introduced legislation for a public service academy that would be patterned on great institutions like The Citadel and our military academies. Because we've got to get young people back into public service. And the other night we had a provision in our bill that we passed to have people who go into public service have their student loans deferred and even forgiven. We need to do more to support public service. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, should women register for Selective Service? '''OBAMA''': You know, a while back we had a celebration in the Capitol for the Tuskegee Airmen, and it was extraordinarily powerful because it reminded us, there was a time when African-Americans weren't allowed to serve in combat. And yet, when they did, not only did they perform brilliantly, but what also happened is they helped to change America, and they helped to underscore that we're equal. And I think that if women are registered for service -- not necessarily in combat roles, and I don't agree with the draft -- I think it will help to send a message to my two daughters that they've got obligations to this great country as well as boys do. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': Anyone who has any question about whether women can serve this country honorably in the military should meet Sally Bardon, who's sitting with my wife Elizabeth down there. She flew fighter jets, F-16s, into the first 15 minutes of the war in Iraq. Flew over Baghdad. She put her life at risk, at the very beginning of the war. Anybody who has any questions about whether women can serve courageously and honorably, need to meet women like Sally Bardon. '''COOPER''': Senator Gravel? '''GRAVEL''': Well, of course I want to take credit and admit that I'm the guy that filibustered for five months, all by myself, in the Senate to end the draft in the United States of America. And I'm very proud of that because George Bush does not have the boots on the ground to invade Iran. '''COOPER''': Thank you. Do you think -- should women register? '''GRAVEL''': Of course women should be going -- go into the draft if we're going to have a draft. They should register also. What's the difference? '''COOPER''': OK. Thank you for your answer. Another video. '''[QUESTION]''': Hello, my name is John McAlpin. I'm a proud serving member of the United States military. I'm serving overseas. This question is to Senator Hillary Clinton. The Arab states, Muslim nations, believe it's women as being second-class citizens. If you're president of the United States, how do you feel that you would even be taken seriously by these states in any kind of talks, negotiations, or any other diplomatic relations? I feel that is a legitimate question. '''CLINTON''': Thank you, John, and thank you for your service to our country. You know, when I was first lady, I was privileged to represent our country in 82 countries. I have met with many officials in Arabic and Muslim countries. I have met with kings and presidents and prime ministers and sheiks and tribal leaders. And certainly, in the last years during my time in the Senate, I have had many high-level meetings with presidents and prime ministers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Pakistan and many other countries. I believe that there isn't much doubt in anyone's mind that I can be taken seriously. I believe that other countries have had women presidents and women prime ministers. There are several serving now -- in Germany, in Chile, in Liberia and elsewhere -- and I have noticed that their compatriots on the world stage certainly take them seriously. I think that it is... '''COOPER''': Time. '''CLINTON''': It would be quite appropriate to have a woman president deal with the Arab and Muslim countries on behalf of the United States of America. '''COOPER''': Let's go to another YouTube video. '''[QUESTION]''': In 1982, Anwar Sadat traveled to Israel, a trip that resulted in a peace agreement that has lasted ever since. In the spirit of that type of bold leadership, would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, in Washington or anywhere else, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, in order to bridge the gap that divides our countries? '''COOPER''': I should also point out that Stephen is in the crowd tonight. Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I would. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them -- which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration -- is ridiculous. Now, Ronald Reagan and Democratic presidents like JFK constantly spoke to Soviet Union at a time when Ronald Reagan called them an evil empire. And the reason is because they understood that we may not trust them and they may pose an extraordinary danger to this country, but we had the obligation to find areas where we can potentially move forward. And I think that it is a disgrace that we have not spoken to them. We've been talking about Iraq -- one of the first things that I would do in terms of moving a diplomatic effort in the region forward is to send a signal that we need to talk to Iran and Syria because they're going to have responsibilities if Iraq collapses. They have been acting irresponsibly up until this point. But if we tell them that we are not going to be a permanent occupying force, we are in a position to say that they are going to have to carry some weight, in terms of stabilizing the region. '''COOPER''': I just want to check in with Stephen if he believes he got an answer to his question. '''[QUESTION]''': I seem to have a microphone in my hand. Well, I'd be interested in knowing what Hillary has to say to that question. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton? '''CLINTON''': Well, I will not promise to meet with the leaders of these countries during my first year. I will promise a very vigorous diplomatic effort because I think it is not that you promise a meeting at that high a level before you know what the intentions are. I don't want to be used for propaganda purposes. I don't want to make a situation even worse. But I certainly agree that we need to get back to diplomacy, which has been turned into a bad word by this administration. And I will purse very vigorous diplomacy. And I will use a lot of high-level presidential envoys to test the waters, to feel the way. But certainly, we're not going to just have our president meet with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and, you know, the president of North Korea, Iran and Syria until we know better what the way forward would be. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards, would you meet with Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Il? '''EDWARDS''': Yes, and I think actually Senator Clinton's right though. Before that meeting takes place, we need to do the work, the diplomacy, to make sure that that meeting's not going to be used for propaganda purposes, will not be used to just beat down the United States of America in the world community. But I think this is just a piece of a bigger question, which is, what do we actually do? What should the president of the United States do to restore America's moral leadership in the world. It's not enough just to lead with bad leaders. In addition to that, the world needs to hear from the president of the United States about who we are, what it is we represent. '''COOPER''': Time. '''EDWARDS''': That, in fact, we believe in equality, we believe in diversity, that they are at the heart and soul of what the United States of America is. '''COOPER''': We've got another question on the subject. '''[QUESTION]''': Dear Presidential Candidates, see those three flags over my shoulder? They covered the coffins of my grandfather, my father, and my oldest son. Someday, mine will join them. I do not want to see my youngest sons join them. I have two questions. By what date after January 21st, 2009, will all U.S. troops be out of Iraq? And how many family members do you have serving in uniform? '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd. '''DODD''': I have advocated, again, that we have our troops out by April of next year. I believe that the timeframe is appropriate to do that. I would urge simultaneously that we do the things we've talked about here, and that is pursue the diplomatic efforts in the region to at least provide Iraq the opportunity to get on its feet. But I believe our military ought to be out before that. If I'm president in January, I'd be advocating a responsible withdrawal that's safe for our troops who are there, to provide the resources for them to do it. As I mentioned earlier, I served with the National Guard and Reserves. My brother served in the military as well. So, in my family, there have been at least two that I'm aware of. I have first cousins of mine that were submarine commanders. My uncle was a commander in World War II in the Navy. So there have been a number of people in my family. '''COOPER''': So you're saying that by January 21st, 2009, all U.S. troops would be out... '''DODD''': Well, no, I've argued that it actually happen before then. I've been pushing... '''COOPER''': Right. '''DODD''': There were 11 of us back when the supplemental bill came up a few weeks ago that voted to cut off that funding here. There's no other way I know to bring this to a head than through that mechanism. So come January, I hope that would be completed. But, if not, then I'd advocate a time frame that would be done responsibly. '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson? '''RICHARDSON''': Well, I'm trying to provoke a debate here, because there's a difference between the senators and me on when we get our troops out. I've been very clear: Six month, but no residual forces. Senator Clinton has a plan that I understand is maybe 50,000 residual forces. Our troops have become targets. The diplomatic work... '''COOPER''': Is that even possible? Six months... '''RICHARDSON''': The diplomatic work cannot begin to heal Iraq, to protect our interests, without troops out. Our troops have become targets. You are going to say six months, because it might provoke a civil war. There is a civil war. There is sectarian conflict. The time has come, and I get challenged. I have no troops left. One hundred are dying a month. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden? '''BIDEN''': Number one, there is not a single military man in this audience who will tell this senator he can get those troops out in six months if the order goes today. Let's start telling the truth. Number one, you take all the troops out. You better have helicopters ready to take those 3,000 civilians inside the Green Zone where I have been seven times and shot at. You better make sure you have protection for them, or let them die, number one. So we can't leave them there. And it's going to take a minimum 5,000 troops to 10,000 just to protect our civilians. So while you're taking them out, Governor, take everybody out. That may be necessary. Number three, the idea that we all voted -- except for me -- for that appropriation. That man's son is dead. For all I know, it was an IED. Seventy percent of all the deaths occurred have been those roadside bombs. We have money in that bill to begin to build and send immediately mine-resistant vehicles that increase by 80 percent the likelihood none of your cadets will die, General. And they all voted against it. How in good conscience can you vote not to send those vehicles over there as long as there's one single, solitary troop there? '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton? '''CLINTON''': You know, I put forth a comprehensive three-point plan to get our troops out of Iraq, and it does start with moving them out as soon as possible. But Joe is right. You know, I have done extensive work on this. And the best estimate is that we can probably move a brigade a month, if we really accelerate it, maybe a brigade and a half or two a month. That is a lot of months. My point is: They're not even planning for that in the Pentagon. You know, Mr. Berry, I am so sorry about the loss of your son. And I hope to goodness your youngest son doesn't face anything like that. But until we get this president and the Pentagon to begin to at least tell us they are planning to withdraw, we are not going to be able to turn this around. And so, with all due respect to some of my friends here -- yes, we want to begin moving the troops out, but we want to do so safely, and orderly and carefully. We don't want more loss of American life and Iraqi life as we attempt to withdraw, and it is time for us to admit that it's going to be complicated, so let's start it now. '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich? '''KUCINICH''': The underlying assumption here is that we're going to be in Iraq until the next president takes office, and I reject that totally. People can send a message to Congress right now -- and this is in a convention of this appearance -- they can text peace, and text 73223, text peace. Send a message to Congress right now, you want out. I introduced a plan four years ago, Anderson, that was a full plan to remove our troops. I'm the only one on this stage -- excuse me -- who not only voted against this war, but voted against funding the war. It is not credible to say you oppose the war from the start when you voted to fund it 100 percent of the time, 70 percent, 5 percent of the time. Let's get real about this war. Let's get those troops home and let's take a stand and do it now. Send a message to Congress now. '''COOPER''': All right. '''KUCINICH''': We cannot wait until the next president takes office. '''COOPER''': We've got to take a short break. As we go to break, we're going to show another campaign commercial, this one from Senator Mike Gravel. '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''GRAVEL''': George Bush's oil war was a mistake. We need to stop killing Americans and Iraqis. Been around since the beginning of time. It's not a war. It should be a police action based on global intelligence. It's the most serious problem facing humanity today. : :A universal voucher system will provide equal treatment and choice of providers. : :The Congress has to stop raiding the surplus. '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' '''COOPER''': And welcome back to the CNN/YouTube debate. That was obviously a YouTube-style video from Governor Richardson's campaign. This next question is on the topic of education. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, my name is Sheena Currell. I'm from (inaudible), South Carolina. My question is: Who was your favorite teacher and why? '''COOPER''': A little bit hard to hear. The question was: Who was your favorite teacher and why? Senator Gravel? '''GRAVEL''': A brother by the name of Edgar Burke, who's since deceased, became a priest later, he recognized me as a very failing student because I was dyslexic and couldn't read very well. And so he gave me some attention and taught me to speak, and that's what little chance I get to use it today. Thank you. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I had a teacher in fifth grade named Mrs. Hefty. And I was just coming from overseas, coming back to the United States, felt a little bit out of place. And she had actually lived in Kenya and worked there and taught there and was able to give me some sense that even though I had experiences outside this country, those were actually valuable and important. And that's the power of a good teacher, is making every single child feel special. And we need more teachers like that in front of every single classroom. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden? '''BIDEN''': The principal of my high school, his name was Justin E. Dinney. He was a priest, and he taught me that the single most serious sin humanity could commit was abuse of power, and the second most serious sin was standing by and watching it be abused. He was the brightest guy I have ever known. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': Ms. Burns, who was the high school English teacher who made me believe that somebody can come from a little town in North Carolina where their daddy worked in the mill and do just about anything if they really believe in themselves. '''COOPER''': All right. With the next question, you are going to have to pay attention both to the words, the music and to what is written on the screen. '''''[VIDEO PRESENTATION]''''' '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson, you have had to implement No Child Left Behind in your state. Would you scrap it? Revise it? '''RICHARDSON''': I would scrap it. It doesn't work. It is the law. It is not just an unfunded mandate, but the one- size-fits-all doesn't work. It doesn't emphasize teacher training. It doesn't emphasize the disabled kids. It doesn't -- English learning kids don't get help. The worst thing it does is it takes districts and schools that are not doing well, takes their funds away, penalizes them. If a school is not doing well, we help that school. The last thing we need to do, relating to teachers, is the key to a good education in this country is a strong teacher. I would have a minimum wage for all our teachers, $40,000 per year. And I would emphasize science and math. And I would also bring, to make sure our kids that are not scoring well in science and math, 29th in the world, to unlock those minds in science and math, I would have a major federal program of art in the schools &ndash; music, dancing, sculpture, and the arts. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden, everyone on this stage who was in Congress in 2001 voted for No Child Left Behind. Would you scrap it or revise it? '''BIDEN''': It was a mistake. I remember talking with Paul Wellstone at the time. And quite frankly, the reason I voted for it, against my better instinct, is I have great faith in Ted Kennedy, who is so devoted to education. But I would scrap it -- or I guess, theoretically, you could do a major overhaul. But I think I'd start from the beginning. You need better teachers. You need smaller classrooms. You need to start kids earlier. It's all basic. My wife's been teaching for 30 years. She has her doctorate in education. She comes back and points out how it's just not working. The bottom line here is that I would fundamentally change the way in which we approach this. '''COOPER''': Our next question comes from South Carolina. '''MIKE GREEN''': Hey, I'm Mike Green from Lexington, South Carolina. And I was wanting to ask all the nominees whether they would send their kids to public school or private school. '''COOPER''': The question is public school or private school. We know, Senator Clinton, you sent your daughter to private school. Senator Edwards, Obama and Biden also send your kids to private school. Is that correct? '''CLINTON''': No. '''COOPER''': No? '''CLINTON''': No, it's not correct. '''COOPER''': OK. '''EDWARDS''': I've had four children, and all of them have gone to public school. I've got two kids &nbsp; who are actually here with me in Charleston tonight, two kids, Emma Claire and Jack, just finished the third grade in public school in North Carolina, and Jack just finished the first grade in public school in North Carolina. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton? '''CLINTON''': And Chelsea went to public schools, kindergarten through eighth grade, until we moved to Washington. And then I was advised, and it was, unfortunately, good advice, that if she were to go to a public school, the press would never leave her alone, because it's a public school. So I had to make a very difficult decision. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''CLINTON''': But we were very pleased she was in public schools in Little Rock. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': My kids have gone to the University of Chicago Lab School, a private school, because I taught there, and it was five minutes from our house. So it was the best option for our kids. But the fact is that there are some terrific public schools in Chicago that they could be going to. The problem is, is that we don't have good schools, public schools, for all kids. A U.S. senator can get his kid into a terrific public school. That's not the question. The question is whether or not ordinary parents, who can't work the system, are able to get their kids into a decent school, and that's what I need to fight for and will fight for as president of the United States. '''COOPER''': I want to ask this question of everyone. Senator Biden? '''BIDEN''': My kids did go to private schools, because right after I got elected, my wife and daughter were killed. I had two sons who survived. My sister was the head of the history department. She was helping me raise my children at Wilmington Friends School. When it came time to go to high school when they had come through their difficulties -- I'm a practicing Catholic -- it was very important to me they go to a Catholic school, and they went to a Catholic school. My kids would not have gone to that school were it not for the fact that my wife and daughter were killed and my two children were under the care of my sister who drove them to school every morning. '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich? '''KUCINICH''': My daughter, Jackie, went to the Columbus public schools and got a great education. And I want to make sure that that commitment that sent her to public school is a commitment that will cause all American children to be able to go to great public schools. '''COOPER''': Senator Gravel? '''GRAVEL''': My children went to public school and private school, and I'm recommend that we need a little bit of competition in our system of education. Right now, we have 30 percent of our children do not graduate from high school. That is abominable, and that is the problem of both parties. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd? '''DODD''': My daughter goes to the public school as a pre-school -- kindergarten. But I want to come back to the No Child Left Behind. Because I think remedying this -- and I understand the applause here -- accountability is very important. This is one country -- we've got to have the best prepared generation of Americans that we've ever produced in our educational system. No other issue, in my view, is as important as this one here. And getting the No Child Left Behind law right is where we ought to focus our attention here so that we have resources coming back to our states. You measure growth in a child. You invest in failing schools. But I would not scrap it entirely. Accountability is very important in this country. We ought not to abandon that idea. '''COOPER''': Let's try to stay on the topic. The next question comes from Pennsylvania. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. My name is Anne, and I work at a Planned Parenthood in Pennsylvania. My question is, we here at Planned Parenthood support comprehensive sex education and I'd like to know if any of you as candidates have talked to your children about sex and used medically accurate and age-appropriate information? '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': Well, Elizabeth and I have had sort of an unusual experience for parents, because Elizabeth likes to say that was made a member of AARP when she was pregnant with Jack, our last child. We have had four children. Our two youngest children are now nine and seven. So we have been through the whole experience, including kids who have grown up. Yes, the answer is we have taught our younger children when they were young how to look for the signs of wrong touching, any kind of what would be sexual abuse, inappropriate touching. And we have taught our children as they got older, all -- I think, using medically appropriate terms -- all that they needed to know to be properly educated. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, Mitt Romney has accused you this week of saying that 5-year-old children should be getting sex education. Was he right? '''OBAMA''': Ironically, this was actually a proposal that he himself said he supported when he was running for governor of Massachusetts. Apparently, he forgot. And it makes the exact point that John made. I've got a 9-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old daughter. And I want them to know if somebody is doing something wrong to them, encroaching on their privacy, that they should come talk to me or my wife. And we've had that conversation, but not every parent is going to have that conversation with their child, and I think it's important that every child does, to make sure that they're not subject to the sexual predators. '''COOPER''': All right. Now, time for something completely different. '''[QUESTION]''': Hey, there, my name's Jackie Broyles. And I'm Dunlap [2nd person on video]. We're from Red State Update. Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This here question's for all you candidates. Mainstream media seems awfully interested in old Al Gore these days. Is he losing weight? What's it say in his book? Is he still worried about all the ice? They interpret all these as signs that he may or may not run. They really want to know if Al Gore's going to run again. Yes. Well, what we want to know is does that hurt you-all's feelings? '''COOPER''': Anybody have their feelings hurt? No, you're all right about that? '''BIDEN''': Anderson... '''COOPER''': Yes? '''BIDEN''': I think the people of Tennessee just had their feelings hurt. '''COOPER''': They can take it up with Jackie. We're not going to talk about Al Gore tonight, but we are going to talk about something that he talks a lot about. That's what our next question's about. '''[QUESTION]''': Hello, Democratic candidates. I've been growing concerned that global warming, the single most important issue to the snowmen of this country, is being neglected. As president, what will you do to ensure that my son will live a full and happy life? Thank you. '''COOPER''': It's a funny video. It's a serious question. Congressman Kucinich? '''KUCINICH''': Well, we have to understand the connection between global warring and global warming. Because when we start talking about wars for oil, we're essentially keeping the same approach to energy. So I'm saying we need to move away from reliance on oil and coal and toward reliance on wind and solar. '''KUCINICH''': Anderson, that's the basis of my WGA, Works Green Administration, where we take an entirely new approach to organize the entire country around sustainability, around conservation. We don't have to have our snowmen melting, and the planet shouldn't be melting either. '''COOPER''': Are the people on this stage, are your fellow candidates, are they green enough? '''KUCINICH''': No. And I think that the reason is that if you support, for example, in Iraq, if you say that Iraq should privatize its oil for the U.S. oil companies, then what you're doing is you're continuing a commitment to use more oil. If you believe that all options should be put on the table with respect to Iran, that's about oil. So we need to move away from reliance on oil... '''COOPER''': Time. '''KUCINICH''': ... and that's really connected to our defense policy, and I'm the one who gets the connection. '''COOPER''': All right. Similar topic. Let's listen. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, I'm Stephanie. We're in the Bay area, in my bathroom, because this is one of the places where I use compact fluorescent light bulbs. I use these to decrease my personal energy use, and I hear politicians talking about alternative energy to delay -- to decrease our energy impact as a whole. So my question for you is, how is the United States going to decrease its energy consumption in the first place? In other words, how will your policies influence Americans, rather than just using special light bulbs, to do this? '''COOPER''': Senator Gravel, how do you get Americans to conserve? '''GRAVEL''': Very simple, change our tax structure. Have a fair tax where people are taxed on what they spend rather than what they earn. And our tax system is totally corrupt right now. And so if we now have a retail sales tax, you'll take this nation of ours from a consuming nation to a savings nation. '''GRAVEL''': And that's the most significant thing we can do to alter climate change. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd? '''DODD''': Anderson, there are a number of things. The 50-mile-per- gallon standard is something I've advocated by 2017, that I would push hard for. Entire fleet of federal automobiles would be hybrids or electric automobiles, so we reduce even further out consumption. But I believe I'm the only candidate here, along with Al Gore, who's called for that, is a corporate carbon tax. You've got to tax polluters. You've got to separate the price differential so that we can move away from fossil fuels that do so much damage to our environment, to our economy, to our future, to jobs in this country. Until you deal with the issue of price, until you impose a corporate carbon tax, we will never get away from fossil fuels. It's the only way this can be achieved. You have to advocate that if you're serious about global warming. '''COOPER''': The question was about personal sacrifice. I just want to ask a question to... '''DODD''': I drive a hybrid, we have a hybrid, and we use efficient light bulbs in our homes... '''COOPER''': So let me just ask a question to everyone on this stage. And I know we said we wouldn't do a lot of show of hands. This is probably the only one we'll do tonight. '''COOPER''': How many people here a private jet or a chartered jet to get here tonight? You're not sure? '''RICHARDSON''': Yesterday. '''COOPER''': Yesterday, OK. Senator Gravel, what was that? You took the train? '''GRAVEL''': I took the train... '''COOPER''': OK. '''GRAVEL''': And maybe one of these will give me a ride someday. '''CLINTON''': Anderson, you know, we haven't really seriously addressed this incredibly important issue of global warming and energy efficiency. '''COOPER''': We've got another question on it's way now. '''CLINTON''': OK. CHARLESTON, South Carolina (CNN) -- '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, my name is Shawn and I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan. There is a scientific consensus for man-caused climate change, and I've heard each of you talk in previous debates about alternative energy sources like solar or wind, but I have not heard any of you speak your opinion on nuclear power. I believe that nuclear power is safer, cleaner, and provides a quicker avenue to energy independence than other alternatives. '''[QUESTION]''': I am curious what each of you believe. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': Wind, solar, cellulose-based biofuels are the way we need to go. I do not favor nuclear power. We haven't built a nuclear power plant in decades in this country. There is a reason for that. The reason is it is extremely costly. It takes an enormous amount of time to get one planned, developed and built. And we still don't have a safe way to dispose of the nuclear waste. It is a huge problem for America over the long term. I also don't believe we should liquefy coal. The last thing we need is another carbon-based fuel in America. We need to find fuels that are in fact renewable, clean, and will allow us to address directly the question that has been raised, which is the issue of global warming, which I believe is a crisis. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I actually think that we should explore nuclear power as part of the energy mix. There are no silver bullets to this issue. We have to develop solar. I have proposed drastically increasing fuel efficiency standards on cars, an aggressive cap on the amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted. '''OBAMA''': But we're going to have to try a series of different approaches. The one thing I have to remind folks, though, of -- we've been talking about this through Republican administrations and Democratic administrations for decades. And the reason it doesn't change -- you can take a look at how Dick Cheney did his energy policy. He met with environmental groups once. He met with renewable energy folks once. And then he met with oil and gas companies 40 times. And that's how they put together our energy policy. We've got to put the national interests ahead of special interests, and that's what I'll do as president of the United States. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, what is Senator Edwards -- why is he wrong on nuclear power? '''CLINTON''': First of all, I have proposed a strategic energy fund that I would fund by taking away the tax break for the oil companies, which have gotten much greater under Bush and Cheney. And we could spend about $50 billion doing what America does best. It's time we start acting like Americans again. '''CLINTON''': We can solve these problems if we focus on innovation and technology. So, yes, all these alternative forms of energy are important. So is fuel efficiency for cars and so is energy efficiency for buildings. I'm agnostic about nuclear power. John is right, that until we figure out what we're going to do with the waste and the cost, it's very hard to see nuclear as a part of our future. But that's where American technology comes in. Let's figure out what we're going to do about the waste and the cost if we think nuclear should be a part of the solution. But this issue of energy and global warming has the promise of creating millions of new jobs in America. '''COOPER''': Time. '''CLINTON''': So it can be a win-win, if we do it right. '''COOPER''': I want to go another YouTube video, another question. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, everyone. My name's Melissa and I'm from San Luis Obispo, California. My question is for everyone: In recent years, there's been so much controversy regarding dangling chads, then no paper trail in electronic systems. I know it costs money to amend things like that, but if I can go to any state and get the same triple grande, non-fat, no foam vanilla latte from Starbucks, why I can't I go to any state and vote the same way? '''[QUESTION]''': Don't you think that standardizing our voting practices will increase legitimacy, and possibly even voter turnout in our elections? What are you going to do to fix that? If you want, give me a call and I will make a standardized form for you. '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson? '''RICHARDSON''': I, as president, I would push the whole country to verified paper trails. There are close to 10 states that do this. My state a year ago, my state was one of those states, along with Florida and Ohio, that, because of the touch-tones, there was uncertainty about the election. We have close to 50 percent of those Americans eligible to vote voting. That is inexcusable, compared to many other nations. We need to have same-day registration. We need to have an effort to get the Republican Party to stop suppressing minority voters. We need to find ways also to depoliticize the Justice Department that tried to find those voters that were legitimately voting. '''RICHARDSON''': And lastly, a verifiable paper trail with optical scanners is going to improve turnout, democracy, and it's going to get a lot of young voters in the polls. '''COOPER''': We're going to take a short break. We're going to go to break with a YouTube-style video from Senator Biden's campaign. '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''ANNOUNCER''': Imagine you're trapped deep in a hole with a group of politicians debating. : :President Bush says the only way out of Iraq is to dig us deeper and deeper. But what if one leader stood up for us and said no, we can get out now, without leaving chaos behind? : :Joe Biden is the only one with the experience and the plan to end this war responsibly so our children don't have to go back. : :'''BIDEN''': I'm Joe Biden and I approved this message. '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''KUCINICH''': You can vote now to end the war in Iraq. Text Peace, 73223. Text peace now to send a message to the White House and to the Democratic Congress that now's the time to end the war. Text Peace, 73223. Make your vote count and your voice be heard. Text Peace, 73223, to move this country away from war as an instrument of policy, and to achieve strength through peace. Text Peace. : :This is Dennis Kucinich, and I authorized this message. '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' ''[COMMERCIAL BREAK]'' '''COOPER''': Welcome back. We still have a lot of YouTube videos we want to try to get to. This next one is about a pocketbook issue. Let's take a look. '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''[QUESTION]''': Hi. I'm Cecilla Smith. : :'''[QUESTION]''': And I'm Asanti Wilkins. : :'''[QUESTION]''': And we're from Pennsylvania, and my question is to all the candidates, and it's regarding the national minimum wage. Congress seems to never have a problem when it comes time to give themselves a raise. But when it came time to increase the minimum wage, they had a problem. : :My question to the candidates: If you're elected to serve, would you be willing to do this service for the next four years and be paid the national minimum wage? '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' '''COOPER''': So, it's pretty simple, yes or no. Minimum wage, by the way, goes up tomorrow to $6.55. In 2009, it will be $7.25. Senator Gravel, would you work for the minimum wage? '''GRAVEL''': Oh, yes, I would, but I would say that we don't need a minimum wage; we need a living wage. We don't have that in this country because of what they passed. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd, would you work for the minimum wage? '''DODD''': I have two young daughters who I'm trying to educate them. I don't think I could live on the minimum wage, but I'm a strong advocate to seeing to it that we increase it at least to $9 or $10 to give people a chance out there to be able to provide for their families. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''DODD''': That's leadership in the country. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': Yes. '''COOPER''': Yes. Senator Clinton? '''CLINTON''': Sure. Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': Well, we can afford to work for the minimum wage because most folks on this stage have a lot of money. It's the folks... ... on that screen who deserve -- you're doing all right, Chris, compared to, I promise you, the folks who are on that screen. '''DODD''': Not that well, I'll tell you, Barack. '''OBAMA''': I mean, we don't have -- we don't have Mitt Romney money, but... But we could afford to do it for a few years. Most folks can't. And that's why we've got to fight and advocate for... '''COOPER''': Governor -- Governor Richardson, yes? '''RICHARDSON''': Yes, I would. '''COOPER''': OK. Senator Biden? '''BIDEN''': I don't have Barack Obama money either. My net worth is $70,000 to $150,000. That's what happens you get elected at 29. I couldn't afford to stay in the Congress for the minimum wage. But if I get a second job, I'd do it. '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich? '''KUCINICH''': Anderson, I live in the same house I purchased in 1971 for $22,500. I think we need to increase the minimum wage and so all my neighbors can get an increase in their wages. '''COOPER''': So would you work for it? '''KUCINICH''': I would. '''COOPER''': OK. '''KUCINICH''': But I wouldn't want to... '''COOPER''': By the way, you'd all get overtime, too. So don't worry about that. Let's watch another video here, another question. '''[QUESTION]''': This is Nancy McDonald from Wilmington, Delaware. '''[QUESTION]''': We all know that Social Security is running out of money, but people who earn over $97,500 stop paying into Social Security. What is up with that? '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd, what about that? The Congressional Research Service says that if all earnings were subject to payroll tax, the Social Security trust fund would remain solvent for the next 75 years. '''DODD''': I don't disagree with that. I think frankly this is an issue that comes to a head, as we all know, by the year 2040. Obviously, I think it would be important to start to address the issue. Certainly, we have no ideas, and I would be totally opposed to the privatization of Social Security. That is a very bad idea and I am glad we rejected it. But one of the ideas is to raise that level above $97,000. '''COOPER''': Do you support that? '''DODD''': I would support that. That is one of the solutions that would make a lot of sense to me to make the trust fund whole. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I think that it is an important option on the table, but the key, in addition to making sure that we don't privatize, because Social Security is that floor beneath none of us can sink. '''OBAMA''': And we've got to make sure that we preserve Social Security is to do the same thing that Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill were able to do back in 1983, which is come up with a bipartisan solution that puts Social Security on a firm footing for a long time. '''COOPER''': Another question on Social Security. '''[QUESTION]''': What's the dirtiest little secret in Washington? The U.S. is going broke. With the retirement of the baby boomers, things are only going to get worse. Fed Chairman Bernanke has said Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security need to be radically changed to avoid this crisis, yet everything is business as usual in D.C. There are two solutions, both of which are politically unpopular: Raise taxes or cut benefits. Which would you choose, and how would you convince the public to support you? '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson? '''RICHARDSON''': The best solution to those two issues is a bipartisan effort to fix it. '''RICHARDSON''': Medicare -- 33 percent of it is diabetes. Let's have major prevention programs, and also ways that we can ensure that we find a cure. Social Security -- stop raiding the Social Security trust fund. Stop talking about privatization. And then thirdly, let's look at a universal pension, 401(k) universal pension, that would assure portability for those that want to keep their pensions as they move into other professions. But what we need is a bipartisan effort. Put this issue aside. If I'm president, I would take this issue and I would say, Republicans, Democrats, within a year, let's find a solution. No politics. This is the safety net of this country. '''COOPER''': Here's a question on taxes. '''[QUESTION]''': This here is a two-part question. (SINGING): Pay taxes on my clothes and food, pay taxes on my place, pay taxes on my moisturizer, I pay taxes on my weights. I pay taxes on my land. Every year, y'all make me pay. I pay tax on this guitar so I can sing for you today. My taxes put some kids in college I can't afford to send myself. Now, tell me, if you were elected president, what would you do to help? Also, I got a parking ticket last week. Could one of y'all pardon me? '''COOPER''': Senator Biden, this guy's overtaxed. '''BIDEN''': First of all, change the tax structure. We are giving people tax breaks who don't need it. The top 1 percent got an $85 billion a year tax break. It is not needed. My dad used to have an expression -- don't tell me what you value; show me your budget. And the budget we have here is we all dance around it. We need more revenue to be able to pay for the things the governor and everybody else talks about. And there's only one way to do it. You either raise taxes or take tax cuts away from people who don't need them. I'd take them away from people who don't need them. '''COOPER''': I'm sorry. There's another tax question right here. '''[QUESTION]''': My name is Marcus Benson from Minneapolis. And I'd like to know, if the Democrats come into office, are my taxes going to rise like usually they do when a Democrats gets into office? '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich, are the taxes going to rise? '''KUCINICH''': The answer is no; that we're going to stop the tax increases that President Bush gave to people in the top brackets. We're going to end war as an instrument of policy, with the defense policy of strength through peace. So we're not going to be borrowing money from China to fight wars in Baghdad. We're going to lower our trade deficit by ending NAFTA and the WTO and going back to trade based on worker's rights. We're going to have a change in our economy so that people will be able to get something for the taxes they pay but they're not going to have to pay more. '''COOPER''': One of the most popular topics that we got questions on was health care. We, frankly, were overwhelmed with videos on health care, so we put several of them together. I want to show you some personal stories. '''[QUESTION]''': Mark and Joel Strauss, Davenport, Iowa. Not every parent has the luxury of two loving sons to care for them during Alzheimer's. '''[QUESTION]''': My question for the candidates is, people like us -- the baby boomer generation -- is going to see a boom of Alzheimer's over the upcoming decades. What are you prepared to do to fight this disease now? '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. These are my grandmothers. Both of them suffered from diabetes and ultimately died of massive heart attacks. This is my mother. She suffers from diabetes and she's also had a heart attack. The statistics for women with heart disease are staggering. What I'd like to know is, how do each of you plan on addressing chronic disease and preventative health in your health care plans? I would like my mother to be around to see her grandchildren. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. My name is Kim. I'm 36 years old and hope to be a future breast cancer survivor from Long Island. My chances for survivor aren't as good as they might be, however, because like millions of Americans, I've gone for years without health insurance that would have allowed me to take preventative medicine. '''[QUESTION]''': What would you as president do to make low-cost or free preventive medicine available for everybody in this country? Thank you. (VIDEO CLIP) '''COOPER''': Senator Obama, 45 million uninsured Americans. Senator Edwards says your plan doesn't really provide universal coverage. Does it? '''OBAMA''': Absolutely it does. John and I have a disagreement. John thinks that the only way we get universal coverage is to mandate coverage. I think that the problem is not that people are trying to avoid getting health care coverage. It is folks like that who are desperately in desire of it, but they can can't afford it. '''OBAMA''': And I know from personal experience. My mother, when she was between jobs, contracted cancer, and she spent the last few months of her life trying to figure out whether or not she was going to be able to pay for the treatments. It is an outrage. How is that the wealthiest nation on Earth cannot afford to provide coverage to all people? And that's why I put forward a plan. But let's understand this. Everybody here is going to have a plan. John's got a plan. I've got a plan. Hopefully, everybody here will provide a plan for universal coverage. But we've had plan before, under a Democratic president in the '90s and a Democratic Congress. We couldn't get it done because the drug insurance -- drug and insurance companies are spending $1 billion over the last decade on lobbying. And that's why we've got to have a president who is willing to fight to make sure that they don't have veto power. They can have a seat at the table, but they can't buy every single chair when it comes to crafting the sort of universal health care that's going to help the folks that you saw in that video. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards... '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards, does Senator Obama provide universal coverage? '''EDWARDS''': No, because the only way to provide universal coverage is to mandate that everyone be covered. But I want to say, you know, I came out with a universal plan several months ago. A couple of months later, Senator Obama came out with a plan. He's made a very serious proposal, and I'm not casting aspersions on his plan. I think it's a very serious proposal. It just doesn't cover everybody. The only way to cover everybody is to mandate it. And the stories we have just heard, from diabetes, to Alzheimer's, to cancer -- there are millions of people in this country who are suffering so badly. And just this past week -- in fact, you were with me on the third day -- I went on a three-day poverty tour in America. The last day, I was with a man in western Virginia, in the Appalachian mountains -- 51 years old, three years younger than me. '''EDWARDS''': He'd been born with a severe cleft palate, and he was proud of the fact that someone had finally volunteered to correct it. He had not been able to talk -- I want to finish this. He had not been able to talk until it was fixed. Here was the problem. It was fixed when he was 50 years old. For five decades, James Lowe lived in the richest nation on the planet not able to talk because he couldn't afford the procedure that would've allowed him to talk. When are we going to stand up and do something about this? We have talked about it too long. We have got to stand up to the insurance companies and the drug companies that Barack just spoke about. It is the only way we're ever going to bring about real change. We should be outraged by these stories. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton, this goes back to the first question that we got. How is it going to be any different under your administration? '''CLINTON''': Well, first, I want to thank Mark and Joel and Charity and Kim and Mike. You know, it's not easy coming in front of the entire world and talking about your Alzheimer's, or your diabetes or your breast cancer, or your disability. '''CLINTON''': But the fact that this is happening in a country as rich as ours is just a national disgrace. And, yes, I did try in '93 and '94, and I like to say I have the scars to show for it, but I learned a lot about what we have to do. And having a plan, yes, that's part of it. But more important, we have to have a sense of national commitment that universal health care is an American value. We have to quit being told the special interests, like the insurance companies and the drug companies, that, somehow, we can't do what most other developed countries do, which is cover everybody and provide decency and respect to every single person in this country with health care. '''COOPER''': All right. I've got another question on health care. Let's watch. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, this is Lucia Ballie for a group of friends on the east side of L.A. And our question is: Does your health care plan cover undocumented workers? '''[QUESTION]''': Thank you. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd? '''DODD''': First of all, I hope all of us get a chance to comment on this issue. This is a huge issue that deserves the attention and every candidate here ought to have the chance to talk about health care. (CROSSTALK) '''DODD''': First of all, the woman with the Alzheimer's issue -- stem cell research. Under a Dodd administration, stem cell research will be conducted so they can deal with diabetes. Regarding the family that's talking about diabetes, 49 percent of our school districts have exclusive contracts with soft drink companies and junk food companies because we're not funding enough in our education system. That's an obesity problem as well. '''COOPER''': Would your plan cover undocumented workers? '''DODD''': It would. People who live in this country -- children certainly would be covered. And I'm in support of the immigration policy here that requires them to contribute so that... '''COOPER''': So that's a yes? '''DODD''': If they're paying part of that thing, then they also get covered. Because, frankly, I don't want them contributing disease problems and health issues to the rest of the... '''COOPER''': Let's try to answer the question. '''COOPER''': Would your plan, Governor Richardson, cover undocumented workers? '''RICHARDSON''': Yes, it would. It should cover everybody. In this country, no matter who you are, whether you're a ditch- digger, you're a teacher, you're a CEO, you're a waiter, you're a maid, every American deserves the right to the best possible quality health care. That would be part of my plan. But also, it is prevention. It's starting early with kids. It's having -- get rid of junk food in schools, as I did in New Mexico... ... a healthy breakfast for every child, mandatory phys ed, research into Alzheimer's, into cancer, into stem cell. '''COOPER''': OK. Another question from a YouTube viewer. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi. My name is Chris Nolan and I'm a Democratic precinct committeeman from Mundelein, Illinois. And my question is for Hillary Clinton. With Bush, Clinton, and Bush again serving as the last three presidents, how would electing you, a Clinton, constitute the type of change in Washington so many people in the heartland are yearning for, and what your campaign has been talking about? I was also wondering if any of the other candidates had a problem with the same two families being in charge of the executive branch of government for 28 consecutive years, if Hillary Clinton were to potentially be elected and then re-elected. '''[QUESTION]''': Good luck. And, whoever becomes the nominee, I'm pulling for you. '''[QUESTION]''': Go Democrats! '''COOPER''': The question is for Senator Clinton. '''CLINTON''': Well, I think it is a problem that Bush was elected in 2000. '''CLINTON''': I actually thought somebody else was elected in that election, but... '''CLINTON''': Obviously, I am running on my own merits, but I am very proud of my husband's record as president of the United States. '''CLINTON''': You know what is great about this is look at this stage and look at the diversity you have here in the Democratic Party. Any one of us would be a better president than our current president or the future Republican nominee. '''CLINTON''': So I'm looking forward to making my case to the people of this country... '''COOPER''': Time. '''CLINTON''': ... and I hope they will judge me on my merits. '''COOPER''': Thirty seconds, Senator Gravel. Do you have a problem with it? '''GRAVEL''': Well, yes, I do, a serious problem. The Democratic Party used to stand for the ordinary working man. But the Clintons and the DLC sold out the Democratic Party to Wall Street. Look at where all the money is being raised right now, for Hillary, Obama and Edwards. It's the hedge funds, it's Wall Street bankers, it's the people who brought you what you have today. Please wake up. Just look at the New York Times of the 17th of July that analyzes where the money's coming from. '''COOPER''': Time's up. '''GRAVEL''': It comes from the bankers on Wall Street and of course hedge funds, which is code for bankers on Wall Street. And they're lock, stock and barrel in their pocket. '''COOPER''': Since you went to Senator Obama, we'll let you respond, if you want. '''OBAMA''': Look, I think every single question we've heard you see cynicism about the capacity to change this country. And the question for the American people, who desperately want change, is: Who's got a track record of bringing about change? Who can unify the country, so that we're not just talking about Democrats and Republicans, but we're talking about Americans? And who can overcome the special interests in Washington so that we have a president of the United States who is fighting on behalf of ordinary people? '''COOPER''': In our remaining... '''OBAMA''': And that, I think, is going to be the kind of president that is going to be elected -- is going to be nominated by the Democrats, and I believe that I'm best qualified to fill that role. '''COOPER''': In our remaining few minutes, the questions turn to two subjects -- God and guns. First question. '''[QUESTION]''': Hi, I'm Zenne Abraham in Oakland, California. The cathedral behind me is the perfect backdrop for this question. This quarter reads "United States of America." And when I turn it over, you find that it reads "liberty, in God we trust." What do those words mean to you? Thank you. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden. '''BIDEN''': Religion informs my values. '''BIDEN''': My reason dictates outcomes. My religion taught me about abuse of power. That's why I moved to write the Violence Against Women Act. That's why I take the position I take on Darfur. It came about as a consequence of the reasoning that we're able to do it. You know, look, I don't think they're inconsistent. I don't find anything inconsistent about my deep, religious beliefs and my ability to use reason. I think the coin's got it just right. I think I have it in perspective. '''COOPER''': Here's a question from the other side of the coin. '''[QUESTION]''': Good evening. My name is Stephen Marsh of Thousand Oaks, California, proud citizen of the United States of America that does not believe in God. However, the former President Bush said this statement was an oxymoron. Now, I am worried about the amount of time given to evangelical concerns while secular voters are more or less getting a snubbed -- the faith and politics forum. So my question is this: Am I wrong in fearing a Democratic administration that may be lip service to the extremely religious as much as the current one? And if so, why? Thank you for your time. '''COOPER''': Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': As president of the United States, we will embrace and lift up all Americans, whatever their faith beliefs or whether they have no faith beliefs, as Stephen just spoke about. That's what America is. Now, my faith is enormously important to me personally. It's gotten me through some hard times, as I'm sure that's true of a lot of the candidates who are on this stage. But it is crucial that the American people know that as president it will not be my job -- and I believe it would be wrong -- for me to impose my personal faith beliefs on the American people or to decide any kind of decision, policy decision, that will affect America on the basis of my personal faith beliefs. '''COOPER''': Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I am proud of my Christian faith. And it informs what I do. And I don't think that people of any faith background should be prohibited from debating in the public square. '''OBAMA''': But I am a strong believer in the separation of church and state, and I think that we've got to translate... By the way, I support it not just for the state but also for the church, because that maintains our religious independence and that's why we have such a thriving religious life. But what I also think is that we are under obligation in public life to translate our religious values into moral terms that all people can share, including those who are not believers. And that is how our democracy's functioning, will continue to function. That's what the founding fathers intended. '''COOPER''': Another question regarding guns. '''[QUESTION]''': Good evening, America. My name is Jered Townsend from Clio, Michigan. To all the candidates, tell me your position on gun control, as myself and other Americans really want to know if our babies are safe. This is my baby, purchased under the 1994 gun ban. Please tell me your views. Thank you. '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson, you have one of the highest NRA ratings. '''RICHARDSON''': The issue here, I believe, is instant background checks. '''RICHARDSON''': Nobody who has a criminal background or is mentally ill should be able to get a weapon. That is the key, and that includes gun sales. That includes gun sales at gun shows. The key is going to be also attacking poverty, bringing people together, dealing with those kids in the ghettos that are heavy users of gun violence and they are victims of gun violence, to make sure that this country attacks the core problems of poverty, having child care, bringing parents together. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden, are you going to be able to keep his baby safe? '''BIDEN''': I'll tell you what, if that is his baby, he needs help. I think he just made an admission against self-interest. I don't know that he is mentally qualified to own that gun. I'm being serious. Look, just like me, we go around talking about people who own guns. I am the guy who originally wrote the assault weapons ban, that became law, and then we got defeated and then Dianne Feinstein went to town on it and did a great job. '''BIDEN''': Look, we should be working with law enforcement, right now, to make sure that we protect people against people who don't -- are not capable of knowing what to do with a gun because they're either mentally imbalanced and/or because they have a criminal record, and... '''COOPER''': Time. '''BIDEN''': Anyway... '''COOPER''': We got one more question. Before... '''BIDEN''': ... I hope he doesn't come looking for me. Before we do -- we've got one more question. Before we get to that, we're going to play our last YouTube-style campaign video from the Obama campaign. '''''[BEGIN VIDEO CLIP]''''' :'''OBAMA''': We want an end to this war. And we want diplomacy and peace. Not only can we save the environment; we can create jobs and opportunity. We're tired of fear. We're tired of division. We want something new. We want to turn the page. : :The world as it is is not the world as it has to be. '''''[END VIDEO CLIP]''''' '''COOPER''': And this last &ndash; this last question from a YouTube viewer will be asked to each of you. '''JASON KOOP''': My name is Jason Koop, and I am from Colorado Springs, Colorado. And my question is for all of the candidates, and it is intended to lighten up the mood a little bit. I would like for each of you to look at the candidate to your left and tell the audience one thing you like and one thing you dislike about that particular candidate. And remember, be honest. '''COOPER''': Senator Gravel? '''GRAVEL''': I turn to my left and I like Chris Dodd. I knew his dad, I served with his dad. I do have a difference of opinion with respect to where the money's coming from. I've advocated, people, follow the money if you want to find out what's going to happen after any one of these individuals are elected. Follow the money, because it's politics as usual is what you're seeing. '''COOPER''': Senator Dodd? '''DODD''': I like John Edwards. I love his wife Elizabeth and his family, and I think we've had enough of negative in politics. I have nothing negative to say about the gentleman. '''COOPER''': You're not going to answer the question. All right. Senator Edwards? '''EDWARDS''': I admire what Senator Clinton has done for America, what her husband did for America. I'm not sure about that coat. '''COOPER''': Senator Clinton? '''CLINTON''': Yes, John, it's a good thing we're ending soon. You know, I think that Chris Dodd has it absolutely right. I mean, I admire and like very much Barack, as I do with all of the candidates here. And I think that what you've seen tonight is how ready the Democrats are to lead. We are ready to lead the change that America so desperately needs. '''COOPER''': All right. I'll take that as you're not going to answer. Senator Obama? '''OBAMA''': I actually like Hillary's jacket. I don't know what's wrong with it. And I like the fact that Bill Richardson has devoted his life to public service, because that, I think, is the highest of callings. I don't like the fact that he either likes the Yankees or the Red Sox, but doesn't apparently like the White Sox. And we're having a tough time this year. '''COOPER''': Governor Richardson? '''RICHARDSON''': You know, let me just say, I love all of the candidates here. In fact, I think they would all do great in the White House as my vice president. Let me say something about Joe Biden. Joe Biden -- you know, the only negative thing about Joe. We disagree on Iraq very strongly, on Darfur. But this man has devoted his whole life to public service. He's been a distinguished chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He's had great contributions in civil rights, in issues relating to gun control, in Supreme Court nominees. He will make an excellent secretary of state for me. '''COOPER''': Senator Biden? '''BIDEN''': I don't like a damn thing about him. I -- no, I'm only kidding. Only kidding. Dennis and I have been friends for 25 years. I think this is a ridiculous exercise. Dennis, the thing I like best about you is your wife. '''COOPER''': Congressman Kucinich, talk about Senator Gravel. '''KUCINICH''': Wait a minute. He talked about my wife. '''COOPER''': Well... '''KUCINICH''': You notice what CNN did. They didn't put anybody to the left of me. Think about it. '''COOPER''': I'm not sure it would be possible to find anybody. '''KUCINICH''': And you know what? And you know -- and I'm glad I get a chance to debate you to my left, because there's no one more mainstream on the war and on health care and on trade than I am, Anderson. Now, about Senator '''GRAVEL''': Didn't he show great courage during the Vietnam War, when he exposed what was going on with the Pentagon Papers. Really courageous American. I'm proud that he's up here. Thank you, Senator Gravel. '''COOPER''': All right. We'll leave it at that. I want to thank all the candidates tonight. CNN and YouTube would also like to thank all our partners, the South Carolina Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee, for sponsoring tonight's big debate. We want to thank our host, The Citadel. September 17th is the Republican debate. I want to encourage everyone to submit their questions via YouTube. You can start doing that right away. All you've got to do is go to YouTube.com, click on the link.. Thanks very much, everyone. Good night.

According to Diogenes Laertius he was “in his prime” 504–500 {{asc|B.C.}}, and would thus seem to have been born about 539 Plato indeed (Parmenides, 127 B) makes Socrates see and hear Parmenides when the latter was about sixty-five years of age, in which case he cannot have been born before 519; but in the absence of evidence that any such meeting took place this may be regarded as one of Plato's anachronisms. However this may be, Parmenides was a contemporary, probably a younger contemporary, of Heraclitus, with whom the first succession of physicists ended, while Empedocles and Anaxagoras, with whom the second succession of physicists began, were very much his juniors. Belonging, it is said, to a rich and distinguished family, Parmenides attached himself, at any rate for a time, to the aristocratic society or brotherhood which Pythagoras had established at Croton; and accordingly one part of his system, the physical part, is apparently Pythagorean. To Xenophanes, the founder of Eleaticism - whom he must have known, even if he was never in any strict sense of the word his disciple - Parmenides was, perhaps, more deeply indebted, as the theological speculations of that thinker unquestionably suggested to him the theory of Being and Not-Being, of the One and the Many, by which he sought to reconcile Ionian “monism,” or rather “henism,” with Italiote dualism. Tradition relates that Parmenides framed laws for the Eleates, who each year took an oath to observe them. Parmenides embodied his tenets in a short poem, called Nature, of which fragments, amounting in all to about 160 lines, have been preserved in the writings of Sextus Empiricus, Simplicius and others. It is traditionally divided into three parts—the “Proem,” “Truth” ({{Greek|τὰ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν}}), and “Opinion” ({{Greek|τὰ πρὸς δόξαν}}). In “Truth,” starting from the formula “the Ent (or existent) is, the Nonent (or non-existent) is not,” Parmenides attempted to distinguish between the unity or universal element of nature and its variety or particularity, insisting upon the reality of its unity, which is therefore the object of knowledge, and upon the unreality of its variety, which is therefore the object, not of knowledge, but of opinion. In “Opinion” he propounded a theory of the world of seeming and its development, pointing out however that, in accordance with the principles already laid down, these cosmological speculations do not pretend to anything more than probability. In spite of the contemptuous remarks of Cicero and Plutarch about Parmenides's versification. ''Nature'' is not without literary merit. The introduction, though rugged, is forcible and picturesque; and the rest of the poem is written in a simple and effective style suitable to the subject. {{EB1911 Fine Print|''Proem''.—In the " Proem " the poet describes his journey from darkness to light. Borne in a whirling chariot, and attended by the daughters of the sun, he reaches a temple sacred to an unnamed goddess (variously identified by the commentators with Nature, Wisdom or Themis), by whom the rest of the poem is spoken. He must learn all things, she tells him, both truth, which is certain, and human opinions; for, though in human opinions there can be no"true faith," they must be studied notwithstanding for what they are worth.}} {{EB1911 Fine Print|''Truth''.—“Truth” begins with the declaration of Parmenides’s principle in opposition to the principles of his predecessors. There are three ways of research, and three ways only. Of these, one asserts the non-existence of the existent and the existence of the non-existent [i.e. Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes suppose the single element which they respectively postulate to be transformed into the various sorts of matter which they discover in the world around them, thus assuming the non-existence of that which is elemental and the existence of that which is non-elemental]; another, pursued by " restless " persons, whose " road returns upon itself," assumes that a thing " is and is not," " is the same and not the same " [an obvious reference, as Bernays points out in the Rheinisches Museum, vii. 114 seq., to Heraclitus, the philosopher of ]. These are ways of error, because they confound existence and non-existence. In contrast to them the way of truth starts from the proposition that " the Ent is, the Nonent is not."}} {{EB1911 Fine Print|On the strength of the fundamental distinction between the Ent and the Nonent, the goddess next announces certain characteristics of the former. The Ent is uncreated, for it cannot be derived either from the Ent or from the Nonent; it is imperishable, for it cannot pass into the Nonent; it is whole, indivisible, continuous, for nothing exists to break its continuity in space; it is unchangeable [for nothing exists to break its continuity in time]; it is perfect, for there is nothing which it can want; it never was, nor will be, but only is; it is evenly extended in every direction, and therefore a sphere, exactly balanced; it is identical with thought [i.e. it is the object, and the sole object, of thought as opposed to sensation, sensation being concerned with variety and change].}} {{EB1911 Fine Print|As then the Ent is one, invariable and immutable, all plurality, variety and mutation belong to the Nonent. Whence it follows that all things to which men attribute reality, generation and destruction, being and not-being, change of place, alteration of colour are no more than empty words.}} {{EB1911 Fine Print|''Opinion''. - The investigation of the Ent [i.e. the existent unity,. extended throughout space and enduring throughout time, which reason discovers beneath the variety and the mutability of things] being now complete, it remains in " Opinion " to describe the plurality of things, not as they are, for they are not, but as they seem to be. In the phenomenal world then, there are, it has been thought [and Parmenides accepts the theory, which appears to be of Pythagorean origin], two primary elements - namely, fire, which is gentle, thin, homogeneous, and night, which is dark, thick, heavy. Of these elements [which, according to Aristotle, were, or rather were analogous to, the Ent and the Nonent respectively] all things consist, and from them they derive their several characteristics. The foundation for a cosmology having thus been laid in dualism, the poem went on to describe the generation of " earth and sun, and moon and air that is common to all, and the milky way, and furthest Olympus, and the glowing stars "; but the scanty fragments which have survived suffice only to show that Parmenides regarded the universe as a series of concentric rings or spheres composed of the two primary elements and of combinations of them, the whole system being directed by an unnamed goddess established at its centre. Next came a theory of animal development. This again was followed by a psychology, which made thought [as well as sensation, which was conceived to differ from thought only in respect of its object] depend upon the excess of the one or the other of the two constituent elements, fire and night. " Such, opinion tells us, was the generation, such is the present existence, such will be the end, of those things to which men have given distinguishing names."}} In the truism “the Ent is, the Nonent is not,” {{Greek|ὄν ἔστι, μὴ ὄν οὐκ ἔστι}}, Parmenides breaks with his predecessors, the physicists of the Ionian succession. Asking themselves—What is the material universe, they had replied respectively - It is water, It is µeraEv Ti, It is air, It s fire. Thus, while their question meant, or ought to have meant, What is the single element which underlies the apparent plurality of the material world? their answers, Parmenides conceived, by attributing to the selected element various and varying qualities, reintroduced the plurality which the question sought to eliminate. If we would discover that which is common to all things at all times, we must, he submitted, exclude the differences of things, whether simultaneous or successive. Hence, whereas his predecessors had confounded that which is universally existent with that which is not universally existent, he proposed to distinguish carefully between that which is universally existent and that which is not universally existent, between dv and /lien,. The fundamental truism is the epigrammatic assertion of this distinction. In short, the single corporeal element of the Ionian physicists was, to borrow a phrase from Aristotle, a permanent aorta having 7r1cOrj which change; but they either neglected the iraOn or confounded them with the oboia. Parmenides sought to reduce the variety of nature to a single material element; but he strictly discriminated the inconstant 7retOri from the constant oboia, and, understanding by " existence " universal, invariable, immutable being, refused to attribute to the IraO'q anything more than the semblance of existence. Having thus discriminated between the permanent unity of nature and its superficial plurality, Parmenides proceeded to the separate investigation of the Ent and the Nonent. The universality of the Ent, he conceived, necessarily carries with it certain characteristics. It is one; it is eternal; it is whole and continu- =ous, both in time and in space; it is immovable and immutable; it is limited, but limited only by itself; it is evenly extended in every direction, and therefore spherical. These propositions having been reached, apart from particular experience, by reflection upon the fundamental principle, we have in them, Parmenides conceived, a body of information resting upon a firm basis and entitled to be called " truth." Further, the information thus obtained is the sum total of " truth "; for, as " existence " in the strict sense of the word cannot be attributed to anything besides the universal element, so nothing besides the universal element can properly be said to be"known." If Parmenides's poem had had " Being " for its subject it would doubtless have ended at this point. Its subject is, however, " Nature "; and nature, besides its unity, has also the semblance, if no more than the semblance, of plurality. Hence the theory of the unity of nature is necessarily followed by a theory of its seeming plurality, that is to say, of the variety and mutation of things. The theory of plurality cannot indeed pretend to the certainty of the theory of unity, being of necessity untrustworthy, because it is the partial and inconstant representation of that which is partial and inconstant in nature. But, as the material world includes, together with a real unity, the semblance of plurality, so the theory of the material world includes, together with the certain theory of the former, a probable theory of the latter. " Opinion " is then no mere excrescence; it is the necessary sequel to " Truth." Thus, whereas the Ionians, confounding the unity and the plurality of the universe, had neglected plurality, and the Pythagoreans, contenting themselves with the reduction of the variety of nature to a duality or a series of dualities, had neglected unity, Parmenides, taking a hint from Xenophanes, made the antagonistic doctrines supply one another's deficiencies; for, as Xenophanes in his theological system had recognized at once the unity of God and the plurality of things, so Parmenides in his system of nature recognized at once the rational unity of the Ent and the phenomenal plurality of the Nonent. The foregoing statement of Parmenides's position differs from Zeller's account of it in two important particulars. First, whereas it has been assumed above that Xenophanes was theologian rather than philosopher, whence it would seem to follow that the philosophical doctrine of unity originated, not with him, but with Parmenides, Zeller, supposing Xenophanes to have taught, not merely the unity of God, but also the unity of Being, assigns to Parmenides no more than an exacter conception of the doctrine of the unity of Being, the justification of that doctrine, and the denial of the plurality and the mutability of things. This view of the relations of Xenophanes and Parmenides is not borne out by their writings; and, though ancient authorities may be quoted in its favour, it would seem that in this case as in others, they have fallen into the easy mistake of confounding successive phases of doctrine, "construing the utterances of the master in accordance with the principles of his scholar - the vague by the more definite, the simpler by the more finished and elaborate theory " (W. H. Thompson). Secondly, whereas it has been argued 'above that " Opinion " is necessarily included in the system, Zeller, supposing Parmenides to deny the Nonent even as a matter of opinion, regards that part of the poem which has opinion for its subject as no more than a revised and improved statement of the views of opponents, introduced in order that the reader, having before him the false doctrine as well as the true one, may be led the more certainly to embrace the latter. In the judgment of the present writer, Parmenides, while he denied the real existence of plurality, recognized its apparent existence, and consequently, however little value he might attach to opinion, was bound to take account of it: " pour celui méme qui nie Fexistence reelle de la nature," says Renouvier, " it reste encore a faire une histoire naturelle de l'apparence et de l'illusion." The teaching of Parmenides variously influenced both his immediate successors and subsequent thinkers. By his recognition of an apparent plurality supplementary to the real unity, he effected the transition from the " monism " or " henism " of the first physical succession to the " pluralism " of the second. While Empedocles and Democritus are careful to emphasize their dissent from " Truth," it is obvious that " Opinion " is the basis of their cosmologies. The doctrine of the deceitfulness of " the undiscerning eye and the echoing ear " soon established itself, though the grounds upon which Empedocles, Anaxagoras and Democritus maintained it were not those which were alleged by Parmenides. Indirectly, through the dialectic of his pupil and friend Zeno and otherwise, the doctrine of the inadequacy of sensation led to the humanist movement, which for a time threatened to put an end to philosophical and scientific speculation. But the positive influence of Parmenides's teaching was not yet exhausted. To say that the Platonism of Plato's later years, the Platonism of the Parmenides, the Philebus and the Timaeus, is the philosophy of Parmenides enlarged and reconstituted, may perhaps seem paradoxical in the face of the severe criticism to which Eleaticism is subjected, not only in the Parmenides, but also in the Sophist. The criticism was, however, preparatory to a reconstruction. Thus may be explained the selection of an Eleatic stranger to be the chief speaker in the latter, and of Parmenides himself to take the lead in the former. In the Sophist criticism predominates over reconstruction, the Zenonian logic being turned against the Parmenides metaphysic in such a way as to show that both the one and the other need revision: see 241 D, 244 B seq., 257 B seq., 258 D. In particular, Plato taxes Parmenides with his inconsistency in attributing (as he certainly did) to the fundamental unity extension and sphericity, so that "the worshipped dv is after all a pitiful j.) " (W. H. Thompson). In the Parmenides reconstruction predominates over criticism - the letter of Eleaticism being here represented by Zeno, its spirit, as Plato conceived it, by Parmenides. Not the least important of the results obtained in this dialogue is the discovery that, whereas the doctrine of the " one " and the " many " is suicidal and barren so long as the "solitary one" and the "indefinitely many" are absolutely separated (137 C seq. and 163 B seq.), it becomes consistent and fruitful as soon as a " definite plurality " is interpolated between them (142 B seq., 157 B seq., 160 B seq.). In short, Parmenides was no idealist, but Plato recognized in him,! and rightly, the precursor of idealism. {{EB1911 Fine Print|{{sc|Bibliography}}. - The fragments have been skilfully edited by H.

According to Diogenes Laertius he was “in his prime” 504–500 {{asc|B.C.}}, and would thus seem to have been born about 539 Plato indeed (Parmenides, 127 B) makes Socrates see and hear Parmenides when the latter was about sixty-five years of age, in which case he cannot have been born before 519; but in the absence of evidence that any such meeting took place this may be regarded as one of Plato's anachronisms. However this may be, Parmenides was a contemporary, probably a younger contemporary, of Heraclitus, with whom the first succession of physicists ended, while Empedocles and Anaxagoras, with whom the second succession of physicists began, were very much his juniors. Belonging, it is said, to a rich and distinguished family, Parmenides attached himself, at any rate for a time, to the aristocratic society or brotherhood which Pythagoras had established at Croton; and accordingly one part of his system, the physical part, is apparently Pythagorean. To Xenophanes, the founder of Eleaticism - whom he must have known, even if he was never in any strict sense of the word his disciple - Parmenides was, perhaps, more deeply indebted, as the theological speculations of that thinker unquestionably suggested to him the theory of Being and Not-Being, of the One and the Many, by which he sought to reconcile Ionian “monism,” or rather “henism,” with Italiote dualism. Tradition relates that Parmenides framed laws for the Eleates, who each year took an oath to observe them. Parmenides embodied his tenets in a short poem, called Nature, of which fragments, amounting in all to about 160 lines, have been preserved in the writings of Sextus Empiricus, Simplicius and others. It is traditionally divided into three parts—the “Proem,” “Truth” ({{Greek|τὰ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν}}), and “Opinion” ({{Greek|τὰ πρὸς δόξαν}}). In “Truth,” starting from the formula “the Ent (or existent) is, the Nonent (or non-existent) is not,” Parmenides attempted to distinguish between the unity or universal element of nature and its variety or particularity, insisting upon the reality of its unity, which is therefore the object of knowledge, and upon the unreality of its variety, which is therefore the object, not of knowledge, but of opinion. In “Opinion” he propounded a theory of the world of seeming and its development, pointing out however that, in accordance with the principles already laid down, these cosmological speculations do not pretend to anything more than probability. In spite of the contemptuous remarks of Cicero and Plutarch about Parmenides's versification. ''Nature'' is not without literary merit. The introduction, though rugged, is forcible and picturesque; and the rest of the poem is written in a simple and effective style suitable to the subject. {{EB1911 Fine Print|''Proem''.—In the " Proem " the poet describes his journey from darkness to light. Borne in a whirling chariot, and attended by the daughters of the sun, he reaches a temple sacred to an unnamed goddess (variously identified by the commentators with Nature, Wisdom or Themis), by whom the rest of the poem is spoken. He must learn all things, she tells him, both truth, which is certain, and human opinions; for, though in human opinions there can be no"true faith," they must be studied notwithstanding for what they are worth. ''Truth''.—“Truth” begins with the declaration of Parmenides’s principle in opposition to the principles of his predecessors. There are three ways of research, and three ways only. Of these, one asserts the non-existence of the existent and the existence of the non-existent [''i.e.'' Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes suppose the single element which they respectively postulate to be transformed into the various sorts of matter which they discover in the world around them, thus assuming the non-existence of that which is elemental and the existence of that which is non-elemental]; another, pursued by " restless " persons, whose " road returns upon itself," assumes that a thing " is and is not," " is the same and not the same " [an obvious reference, as Bernays points out in the Rheinisches Museum, vii. 114 seq., to Heraclitus, the philosopher of ]. These are ways of error, because they confound existence and non-existence. In contrast to them the way of truth starts from the proposition that " the Ent is, the Nonent is not." On the strength of the fundamental distinction between the Ent and the Nonent, the goddess next announces certain characteristics of the former. The Ent is uncreated, for it cannot be derived either from the Ent or from the Nonent; it is imperishable, for it cannot pass into the Nonent; it is whole, indivisible, continuous, for nothing exists to break its continuity in space; it is unchangeable [for nothing exists to break its continuity in time]; it is perfect, for there is nothing which it can want; it never was, nor will be, but only is; it is evenly extended in every direction, and therefore a sphere, exactly balanced; it is identical with thought [''i.e.'' it is the object, and the sole object, of thought as opposed to sensation, sensation being concerned with variety and change]. As then the Ent is one, invariable and immutable, all plurality, variety and mutation belong to the Nonent. Whence it follows that all things to which men attribute reality, generation and destruction, being and not-being, change of place, alteration of colour are no more than empty words. ''Opinion''.—The investigation of the Ent [''i.e.'' the existent unity,. extended throughout space and enduring throughout time, which reason discovers beneath the variety and the mutability of things] being now complete, it remains in " Opinion " to describe the plurality of things, not as they are, for they are not, but as they seem to be. In the phenomenal world then, there are, it has been thought [and Parmenides accepts the theory, which appears to be of Pythagorean origin], two primary elements—namely, fire, which is gentle, thin, homogeneous, and night, which is dark, thick, heavy. Of these elements [which, according to Aristotle, were, or rather were analogous to, the Ent and the Nonent respectively] all things consist, and from them they derive their several characteristics. The foundation for a cosmology having thus been laid in dualism, the poem went on to describe the generation of " earth and sun, and moon and air that is common to all, and the milky way, and furthest Olympus, and the glowing stars "; but the scanty fragments which have survived suffice only to show that Parmenides regarded the universe as a series of concentric rings or spheres composed of the two primary elements and of combinations of them, the whole system being directed by an unnamed goddess established at its centre. Next came a theory of animal development. This again was followed by a psychology, which made thought [as well as sensation, which was conceived to differ from thought only in respect of its object] depend upon the excess of the one or the other of the two constituent elements, fire and night. " Such, opinion tells us, was the generation, such is the present existence, such will be the end, of those things to which men have given distinguishing names."}} In the truism “the Ent is, the Nonent is not,” {{Greek|ὄν ἔστι, μὴ ὄν οὐκ ἔστι}}, Parmenides breaks with his predecessors, the physicists of the Ionian succession. Asking themselves—What is the material universe, they had replied respectively - It is water, It is µeraEv Ti, It is air, It s fire. Thus, while their question meant, or ought to have meant, What is the single element which underlies the apparent plurality of the material world? their answers, Parmenides conceived, by attributing to the selected element various and varying qualities, reintroduced the plurality which the question sought to eliminate. If we would discover that which is common to all things at all times, we must, he submitted, exclude the differences of things, whether simultaneous or successive. Hence, whereas his predecessors had confounded that which is universally existent with that which is not universally existent, he proposed to distinguish carefully between that which is universally existent and that which is not universally existent, between {{Greek|ὄν}} and {{Greek|μὴ ὄν}}. The fundamental truism is the epigrammatic assertion of this distinction. In short, the single corporeal element of the Ionian physicists was, to borrow a phrase from Aristotle, a permanent {{Greek|οὐσία}} having {{Greek|πάθη}} which change; but they either neglected the {{Greek|πάθη}} or confounded them with the {{Greek|οὐσία}}. Parmenides sought to reduce the variety of nature “to a single material element; but he strictly discriminated the inconstant {{Greek|πάθη}} from the constant {{Greek|οὐσία}}, and, understanding by “existence” universal, invariable, immutable being; refused to attribute to the {{Greek|πάθη}} anything more than the semblance of existence. Having thus discriminated between the permanent unity of nature and its superficial plurality, Parmenides proceeded to the separate investigation of the Ent and the Nonent. The universality of the Ent, he conceived, necessarily carries with it certain characteristics. It is one; it is eternal; it is whole and continuous, both in time and in space; it is immovable and immutable; it is limited, but limited only by itself; it is evenly extended in every direction, and therefore spherical. These propositions having been reached, apart from particular experience, by reflection upon the fundamental principle, we have in them, Parmenides conceived, a body of information resting upon a firm basis and entitled to be called " truth." Further, the information thus obtained is the sum total of " truth "; for, as " existence " in the strict sense of the word cannot be attributed to anything besides the universal element, so nothing besides the universal element can properly be said to be “known.” If Parmenides's poem had had " Being " for its subject it would doubtless have ended at this point. Its subject is, however, " Nature "; and nature, besides its unity, has also the semblance, if no more than the semblance, of plurality. Hence the theory of the unity of nature is necessarily followed by a theory of its seeming plurality, that is to say, of the variety and mutation of things. The theory of plurality cannot indeed pretend to the certainty of the theory of unity, being of necessity untrustworthy, because it is the partial and inconstant representation of that which is partial and inconstant in nature. But, as the material world includes, together with a real unity, the semblance of plurality, so the theory of the material world includes, together with the certain theory of the former, a probable theory of the latter. " Opinion " is then no mere excrescence; it is the necessary sequel to “Truth.” Thus, whereas the Ionians, confounding the unity and the plurality of the universe, had neglected plurality, and the Pythagoreans, contenting themselves with the reduction of the variety of nature to a duality or a series of dualities, had neglected unity, Parmenides, taking a hint from Xenophanes, made the antagonistic doctrines supply one another's deficiencies; for, as Xenophanes in his theological system had recognized at once the unity of God and the plurality of things, so Parmenides in his system of nature recognized at once the rational unity of the Ent and the phenomenal plurality of the Nonent. The foregoing statement of Parmenides's position differs from Zeller's account of it in two important particulars. First, whereas it has been assumed above that Xenophanes was theologian rather than philosopher, whence it would seem to follow that the philosophical doctrine of unity originated, not with him, but with Parmenides, Zeller, supposing Xenophanes to have taught, not merely the unity of God, but also the unity of Being, assigns to Parmenides no more than an exacter conception of the doctrine of the unity of Being, the justification of that doctrine, and the denial of the plurality and the mutability of things. This view of the relations of Xenophanes and Parmenides is not borne out by their writings; and, though ancient authorities may be quoted in its favour, it would seem that in this case as in others, they have fallen into the easy mistake of confounding successive phases of doctrine, "construing the utterances of the master in accordance with the principles of his scholar—the vague by the more definite, the simpler by the more finished and elaborate theory " (W. H. Thompson). Secondly, whereas it has been argued 'above that "Opinion" is necessarily included in the system, Zeller, supposing Parmenides to deny the Nonent even as a matter of opinion, regards that part of the poem which has opinion for its subject as no more than a revised and improved statement of the views of opponents, introduced in order that the reader, having before him the false doctrine as well as the true one, may be led the more certainly to embrace the latter. In the judgment of the present writer, Parmenides, while he denied the real existence of plurality, recognized its apparent existence, and consequently, however little value he might attach to opinion, was bound to take account of it: " pour celui même qui nie l’existence réelle de la nature," says Renouvier, " it reste encore a faire une histoire naturelle de l'apparence et de l'illusion." The teaching of Parmenides variously influenced both his immediate successors and subsequent thinkers. By his recognition of an apparent plurality supplementary to the real unity, he effected the transition from the “monism” or "henism" of the first physical succession to the "pluralism" of the second. While Empedocles and Democritus are careful to emphasize their dissent from " Truth," it is obvious that " Opinion " is the basis of their cosmologies. The doctrine of the deceitfulness of " the undiscerning eye and the echoing ear " soon established itself, though the grounds upon which Empedocles, Anaxagoras and Democritus maintained it were not those which were alleged by Parmenides. Indirectly, through the dialectic of his pupil and friend Zeno and otherwise, the doctrine of the inadequacy of sensation led to the humanist movement, which for a time threatened to put an end to philosophical and scientific speculation. But the positive influence of Parmenides's teaching was not yet exhausted. To say that the Platonism of Plato's later years, the Platonism of the Parmenides, the Philebus and the Timaeus, is the philosophy of Parmenides enlarged and reconstituted, may perhaps seem paradoxical in the face of the severe criticism to which Eleaticism is subjected, not only in the Parmenides, but also in the Sophist. The criticism was, however, preparatory to a reconstruction. Thus may be explained the selection of an Eleatic stranger to be the chief speaker in the latter, and of Parmenides himself to take the lead in the former. In the Sophist criticism predominates over reconstruction, the Zenonian logic being turned against the Parmenides metaphysic in such a way as to show that both the one and the other need revision: see 241 D, 244 B seq., 257 B seq., 258 D. In particular, Plato taxes Parmenides with his inconsistency in attributing (as he certainly did) to the fundamental unity extension and sphericity, so that “the worshipped {{Greek|ὄν}} is after all a pitiful {{Greek|μὴ ὄν}}” (W. H. Thompson). In the Parmenides reconstruction predominates over criticism—the letter of Eleaticism being here represented by Zeno, its spirit, as Plato conceived it, by Parmenides. Not the least important of the results obtained in this dialogue is the discovery that, whereas the doctrine of the " one " and the " many " is suicidal and barren so long as the "solitary one" and the "indefinitely many" are absolutely separated (137 C seq. and 163 B seq.), it becomes consistent and fruitful as soon as a "definite plurality" is interpolated between them (142 B seq., 157 B seq., 160 B seq.). In short, Parmenides was no idealist, but Plato recognized in him, and rightly, the precursor of idealism. {{EB1911 Fine Print|{{sc|Bibliography}}.—The fragments have been skilfully edited by H.

In Rome he lectured on rhetoric and philosophy, and collected around him many eminent pupils, amongst whom Cicero was the most famous and the most enthusiastic.

When Antigonus Gonatas, the son of the latter, besieged and captured Athens (261), Philochorus was put to death for having supported Ptolemy Philadelphus, who had encouraged the Athenians in their resistance to Macedonia.

Homer merely states that he was distinguished for his prowess with the bow; that he was bitten by a snake on the journey to Troy and left behind in the island of Lemnos; and that he subsequently returned home in safety. These brief allusions were elaborated by the “cyclic” poets, and the adventures of Philoctetes formed the subject of tragedies by [[Author:Aeschylus|Aeschylus]], [[Author:Sophocles|Sophocles]] and [[Author:Euripides|Euripides]]. In the later form of the story Philoctetes was the friend and armour-bearer of Heracles, who presented him with his bow and poisoned arrows as a reward for kindling the fire on Mt Oeta, on which the hero immolated himself. Philoctetes remained at Lemnos till the tenth year of the war. An oracle having declared that Troy could not be taken without the arrows of Heracles, Odysseus and Diomedes (or Neoptolemus) were sent to fetch Philoctetes. On his arrival before Troy he was healed of his wound by Machaon, and slew Paris; shortly afterwards the City was taken. On his return to his own country, finding that a revolt had broken out against him, he again took ship and sailed for Italy, where he founded Petilia and Cremissa. He fell fighting on the side of a band of Rhodian colonists against some later immigrants from Pallene in Achaea. His tomb and sanctuary were shown at Macalla, on the coast of Bruttium. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} Of the Aeschylean and Euripidean tragedies only a few fragments remain; of the two by Sophocles, one is extant, the other, dealing with the fortunes of Philoctetes before Troy, is lost. Some light is thrown upon the lost plays by [[Author:Dio Chrysostom|Dio Chrysostom]], who in one of his discourses (52) describes his reading of the three tragedies, and in another (59) gives a prose version of the opening of the Philoctetes of Euripides. Philoctetes was also the subject of tragedies by [[Author:Achaeus of Eretria|Achaeus of Eretria]], [[Author:Euphorion of Chalcis|Euphorion of Chalcis]] and the Roman tragedian [[Author:Accius|Accius]]. According to F. Marx (''Neue Jahrbücher für das klassische Altertum'', 1904, p. 673–685), Philoctetes did not appear in the original legend of Troy. He is a form of the Lemnian Hephaestus, who alighted on the island when flung out of Olympus by Zeus. Like him, he is lame and an outcast for nine years; like him, he is brought back in time of need. His connexion with the fall of Troy indicates that the fire-god himself set fire to the city; in like manner no other than the fire-god was thought worthy to kindle the pyre of Heracles.

(Ps. 34:13). Who will choose eternal life? Who truly cares about his soul? Who is for Hashem? (Ex. 32:26) Pay attention to this little book. It is small in size but rich in quality. "Look.. behold, and be totally astounded, for a great work has been done in our days" (Hab. 1:5), when paths and advices, wondrous and awesome, new and old, have been revealed, "founded on bases of fine gold" (Song 5:15), "planted by flowing water" (Ps. 1:3), gushing from "the spring that comes from the House of Hashem" (Joel 4), "deep waters, the counsel in the heart of the Leader, drawn by the Discerning Man" (Prov. 20:5). "Come and see the works of Hashem" (Ps. 46:9). Pay attention to these words, for they are words that stand at the peak of the world, "words of the Living God" (Eruvin 13b), King of the World. Words to revive all souls, from the smallest to the greatest, from the soul at the top of all levels to that at the very bottom. No holy word of advice is hidden from you that you will not find in this book. Nothing that your soul asks will not emanate from this little book. Prick up your ears and hear. Open your eyes and see. Understand and see the very truth. Turn away from crookedness of heart, from the paths of scoffing and falsehood. Keep far from vain sophistication. Take pity on your soul and direct your understanding and your thoughts to the truth alone. For if you stray from the truth, who will you be deceiving? Only yourself. Take this book; examine it. Do its words contain even a hint of dishonesty, God forbid?! Have its footsteps strayed from the path of righteousness and truth that our fathers of old walked? In Hashem I have trusted - I will not be ashamed of these words, not in this world nor in the Coming World. "I will totally acknowledge Hashem with my mouth, and among the multitudes will I praise Him" (Ps. 109:30), Who "has stood by the right hand of one poor as myself" (:31), and has given me the strength and the courage to gather such precious flowers, precious segulot, and eternal healings. Such a source of vitality, from "the fountains of living water" (Gen. 26:19), "out of the wellsprings of salvation" (Isa. 12:3). Everything that flows from them is founded on the words of our fathers and teachers, of blessed memory, in the Written Torah and the Oral Torah, in the Scriptures, the Babylonian Talmud, the Jerusalem Talmud, the Midrashim and the books of the Holy Zohar and the Arizal's writings. These are the sources for all the teachings set forth in this awesome volume. To dwell on their praises would be to detract from the many veils that conceal their depth. But anyone whoever honestly examines them will see for himself the rare glory of their greatness. The truth will testify for itself. Hashem, God of truth will give truth to Yaakob (Mic. 7:20); He will send His light and truth and shall ever lead us in the path of truth. He will incline our shoulders to serve Him all the days of our lives in truth, and to love peace and truth, until the throne of David will be set in kindness and he will sit upon it in truth, soon in our days, Amen. ==Cover Page== ==Table of Contents== * 1 AEMET W'EMUNAH - Truth and Faith * 2 ANACHAH - Sighing * 3 Eating * 4 Hospitality * 5 Eretz Yisrael * 6 Berit * 7 Children * 8 Trust * 9 Shame * 10 Clothing * 11 Arrogance and Humility * 12 Knowledge * 13 Speech * 14 Hitbodedut * 15 Strengthening * 16 Divine Attainments * 17 Confession * 18 Memory * 19 Philosophy and Secular Wisdom * 20 Marriage * 21 Midnight * 22 Travel * 23 Fear of God * 24 Anger * 25 Honor * 26 Scoffing * 27 Money and Livelihood * 28 Thoughts * 29 Dispute and Discord * 30 Obstacles and Inhibitions * 31 Mikveh * 32 MOADEI HASHEM -- Shabbat ** 33 Rosh Chodesh ** 34 Three Festivals ** 35 Nisan and Passover ** 36 Omer and Shavuot ** 37 Three Weeks ** 38 Elul ** 39 Rosh Hashana ** 40 Yom Kippur ** 41 Sukkot ** 42 Chanukah ** 43 Purim * 44 Music * 45 Patience * 46 Brazenness * 47 Advice * 48 Eyes * 49 Redeeming Prisoners * 50 Tzaddik * 51 Charity * 52 Tzitzit * 53 Sanctity * 54 Desire and Yearning * 55 Healing * 56 Happiness * 57 Peace * 58 Torah Learning * 59 Prayer * 60 Discipline * 61 Tefillin * 62 Fasting * 63 Repentance * 64 Completeness =Alef= ==AEMET W'EMUNAH - Truth and Faith== 1. Redemption depends mainly on faith, because the root cause of Exile is none other than lack of faith. (Likutei Moharan 7:1) 2. Faith, prayer, miracles, and the Land of Israel are one thing; they are all interdependent (Ibid.). 3. There are people who cover over all the miracles with natural explanations. When these unbelievers are finished, who have no faith in miracles, and when faith abounds in the world – then Mashiach will come, for Redemption depends on faith, as mentioned (Ibid.). 4. The only way to get faith is by truth. (That is, faith can only be in something the intellect cannot discern, for where the intellect can discern something, faith does not apply. Now then, when the intellect cannot discern something – from what [basis] should he come to believe in the thing he should believe in?! Therefore the root of faith depends on truth: if a man wants to honesty look at the very truth – he will discern automatically that he needs to believe the holy faith in Hashem Yitbarakh and the True Tzaddikim and His Holy Torah, even though it's impossible to understand with his physical mind. For by gazing at the truth honestly he will discern from afar that the truth is just so; only, it's impossible to understand intellectually so one must simply strengthen himself in complete faith. Understand this well.) (2). 5. To come to the truth is impossible except by following the True Tzaddikim and carrying out their advice, without veering left or the right from their words. Then the truth will be etched in you and you will achieve genuine faith etc. as mentioned. Also you must keep well away from the advice of the wicked who raise every kind of question about the truth. All this you can get by the miswah of '''Tzitzit''' [the fringes, v. Tzitzit #1], which are a hedge against sexual misdeed which is the aspect of the advice of the wicked, and you will be able to purify yourself and observe the Covenant which is the aspect of the Tzaddikim's guidance (Ibid. 3-4). 6. Praying vigorously and putting all your strength into the letters – will bring you to faith (9:1). 7. The people that deny that miracles are possible and claim that everything that happens has a natural explanation, and who can actually witness a miracle and still glaze over it with a natural explanation – they are extremely damaging to religious faith, prayer, and the Land of Yisrael, and they prolong the exile (Ibid. 2). 8. The less faith there is, the more the face of Hashem is concealed and the more fiercely His anger burns, God forbid. At such times the Tzaddikim shy away from accepting positions of authority and honor and the world is left without true leadership. But if people break their anger and show loving compassion instead, then (God's own) anger will be sweetened, and then the true Tzaddikim will again be willing to accept roles of leadership and honor and the world will be ready for the true leader who has the power to bring each person to his own complete fulfillment (18:2). 9. Nobody should accept a position of leadership and authority unless he has attained the complete level of faith. Even someone who still has some trace of Amorite ways (superstition) such as "a deer crossed my path," even if he believes in Hashem Yitbarakh he should not become a leader. Even if someone is convinced he loves the world and claims this as his motive for leadership, really he is pursuing prestige and attributing his motive to love. This can result in heresy and apostasy, God forbid. But Heaven takes pity and doesn't let these people take hold of authority (Ibid. 3). 10. You need to take great care that your faith never gets weak, God forbid. For a person whose faith is weak is unable to accept honest criticism. Then peace is ruined, causing breakup and disputes, God forbid, and one comes to denial, idolatry, and false beliefs. For faith is the main high seal of holiness so one must guard it well since by guarding it all sanctity is preserved (22:1,2). 11. It is impossible to reach total faith except by coming to the True Tzaddikim of the Era, for they are the ones who instill the Yisraelite faith into the people of the era, for they are the encompassment of all sanctity (Ibid. 3). 12. Truth and faith align with '''anpin nehorin''' (a shining face), joy, and life - therefore you attain '''arikhut yamim''' ("length of days"). Conversely '''sheker''' (untruth and things that are detrimental to faith) shortens days, for deceit corresponds to death, '''anpin chashukhin''' ("a dim face"), and foreign devotions, God forbid (23:1). 13. Faith is (Gen. 49:1, Dan 10:14, et. al.), '''acharit ha-yamim''' ("the last of days") for all the traits stand on her, for faith is the basis and root of all sanctity. And it has already been explained above (#4) that truth leads to faith. (Ibid. 3). 14. Even a person who attains a certain level of religious insight and understanding needs to fill that intellect with faith, for an intellect alone is not something to rely on. (Ibid. 6). 15. Torah scholars with knowledge of the hidden Torah (talmidei chakhamim) who lack personal integrity, who teach "fallen Torah" – they cause the spread of heresy and lack of belief, and for those who fear Hashem to be despised and opposed. The remedy for this is to extend welcome and hospitality to true Talmidei Chakhamim, which will lead to faith and to breaking the heresy and contempt, and to overcome the opposers (28:1-3). 16. The root of charity's importance and completeness is faith, and all the blessings that come by doing charity – they are not complete except when there is faith, which is the source of all blessings. And the main way to faith is by keeping the holy Shabbat (31:2). 17. And all things depend on faith for their perfection, and without faith nothing is complete. Even the Torah which is the source of Godly knowledge only has perfection through faith, for faith is the foundation of the whole Torah, for the main thing is faith (Ibid.). 18. Faith only lasts by guarding of the Covenant (31:3). 19. Faith refreshes the intellect - which is the soul - during sleep. And sleep helps a person attain new insight and a new spirit from the light of God's "face" (35:3-5). 20. Any flaw in people's faith, God forbid, is tantamount to idolatry. Because of this the rains are withheld (Taanit 8) and the world has no contentment or peace, and no one helps his neighbor, and everyone has to travel from place to place to make a living (40). 21. Truth is the source of genuine wealth. Whoever blemishes the truth will come to poverty, and also be despised and disgraced. But whoever maintains the trait of truth will have abundant livelihood (47). 22. Falsehood damages the eyes — physically and spiritually (51). 23. When a person tells lies it stirs up impurities in the blood, causing melancholy. The resulting tears are very harmful to the eyes. One cannot speak lies unless his blood is impure; and he cannot speak truth unless he first purifies his blood (Ibid.). 24. Falsehood is evil and corrupt. A person who is false tosses Hashem Yitbarakh's protective care from himself. But a person who is truthful will enjoy God's care and protection in all ways (Ibid.). 25. There is only one truth but a whole multitude of lies. You can only say one truth about any given object — just what it is and nothing else. Silver is silver and only silver. Gold is gold and only gold. But lies can be multiplied without end. Silver can be called copper...or tin...or lead...or any other name you can think of. That is why the truth will come out in the end and all the current opposition to the true Tzaddikim will disappear. The basic cause of this opposition is the terrible spread of falsehood everywhere. Where the truth is acknowledged to be only one there is no place for opposition. Therefore the truth which is definitely one will stay and thrive forever, because the truth is HaShem's oneness. All lies, from which opposition comes, will be lost and it [truth] will stand forever, for "the truth of HaShem is forever." (Ps. 117:2) (Ibid.). 26. When you want to become merged with "One" and to connect "after Creation" with "before the Creation" where it is all one, all good, and all holy, as it was before Creation - guard yourself from deceit and speak truth. Be a man of real truth and through this you'll be incorporated into "One," for truth is one as we have already stated (Ibid.). 27. Faith opens the gates of holiness (57:8). 28. It's only called "faith" when the one who believes does not know the reason why. Even so, for the believer himself the thing he believes in is perfectly clear and obvious to him — as if he sees with his own eyes what he believes in; that's how great is his total faith. (62:5). 29. To complete your faith you need to draw the distant people closer to Hashem Yitbarakh. This is achieved by fasting, and then by his eating the Holy One and His Divine Presence are united face to face (Ibid. 1,3,5). 30. When people lack absolute faith, many of them fall into misguided thinking of making the [physical] means obligatory between themselves and Hashem Yitbarakh. That is, they believe in Hashem Yitbarakh, but they believe also in the means and they think those means are obligatory. For example they put their faith in their means of livelihood, that it's the commerce, thinking that the commerce is the essential thing — as if God forbid without it Hashem Yitbarakh would have no other means of providing them with their sustenance. Or in the means of healing, they make the medicine the essential thing, as if God forbid without those medicines Hashem would have be unable to cause healing. Not so. For Hashem Yitbarakh is the means of all means and the cause of all causes, so you don't need any one means. When involved with these means we need to put our faith only in Hashem Yitbarakh, and not to make the means the main thing (Ibid. 6). 31. The rule is everything we do: prayer, learning Torah, carrying out the commandments - everything is in order that the kingship of, and the faith in, His Blessedness be revealed (77). 32. If you are very strong in your faith you will eventually reach understanding of what you believe in. The stronger your faith the greater your understanding will be. At the outset you have no option but to have faith because you cannot understand the matter rationally. Through faith you will come to understand it. Except that then there will be new, more exalted levels which are still hidden from you and beyond your ability to understand rationally. Here again you will have to make the effort to believe. You must always have faith in the levels that are hidden from you. In the end you will understand them also. And so the process goes on. The main thing is that your faith must be so strong that it spreads to all your limbs. This faith will bring you to true wisdom (91). 33. One who always wants to be victorious is intolerant of truth. The truth may be staring him in the face, but because he is determined to win he rejects it. So if you want the real truth you must rid yourself of the urge to win. Then you will be able to see the truth if you really want it (122). 34. Faith contains the power of growth; faith is the way to patience. That is, a person with perfect faith will grow and develop in serving His Blessedness no matter what he may have to go through, because no difficulty or obstacle will throw him off course. He will just have patience and endure whatever he's going through. For, all the obstacles and confusions in serving Hashem, in which he doesn't draw closer to those who fear Hashem, is all a result of being unhappy, lazy and heavy due to a lack of faith, because if he truly had as complete faith as he should, he would definitely run and hurry to follow them. Similarly, that he does not pray properly is also because of laziness and heaviness that comes from lack of faith. Because definitely if he had total faith, he would believe Hashem Yitbarakh stands over him, hears every word coming out of his mouth and listens to the voice of his prayer; he would definitely pray properly, with enthusiasm and aspiration. Just the main thing that confuses people to not pray is a lack of faith. Similarly, when people do not go and follow Tzaddikim and the pious, and do not serve Hashem in truth – it is all due to a lack of faith, which makes him lazy, sad and heavy. But when he has complete faith, nothing can hold him back. He just exercises patience and endures everything, and he grows and develops in serving Hashem no matter what (155). 35. You get this faith and patience by the Land of Yisrael. Everyone needs to pray to Hashem Yitbarakh with longing and yearning for the Land of Yisrael, till he merits to get there. Even all the tzaddikim should have great longing for the Land of Yisrael. And this is a segulah (propitious method) to neutralize anger and sadness. For faith and patience which one merits in the Land of Yisrael are the opposite of anger and sadness (Ibid.). 36. The main thing that makes total faith is that he has to have such as strong faith that it's extremely pure and clear, so much so that it's like he actually sees with his eyes the thing that he believes in, as explained above, #28 (234). 37. Controversy and divisiveness can cause kosher people to start having the thoughts of evil people, thoughts of disbelief. To fix this: be silent and leave "the battle to Hashem" (Ex. 17:16) (251). 38. A man of truth, who carries out all the miswoth with all their fine details between him and his Creator, making no difference for him whether people are present or not - for in him is no trace of deceit, God forbid, to do some motion in His service for peoples' display - he draws to himself the power of all the forms of charity, and thereby neutralizes the thoughts of disbelief (Ibid.). 39. When a man is experiencing some kind of suffering, God forbid, it means the truth has become flawed. Therefore he must guard himself exceedingly, that he not be ensnared in error and falsehood because of the suffering (II 2:4). 40. By giving thanks to His Holy Name at all times for whatever one is experiencing - and especially when he gets out of some suffering, God forbid - and by the study of Halakhot (Torah law), truth will radiate in his speech, and will perfect all aspects of his speech. For the existence and the perfection of speech comes only through truth. Then he merits to pray in truth, which is the essence of perfect prayer, and he'll merit receiving the Torat Emet from a True Rabbi who will show him the way in his True Torah, and he will merit arranging real matches - that Hashem Yithbarakh should summon for him and for his children their true match. All this is attained through thanks and acknowledgment to His Blessed Name and by learning Halakhot, as mentioned. In this way one can draw down the blessing, the sanctity, and the joy of Shabbat into the secular weekdays. Then the simple Unity which underlies all the diverse phenomena of this world will be revealed: to believe and to know the truth, that all the different things in the world stem from the simple Unity, of the Blessed One. Knowing this is very precious on High; even in His Blessedness's view it is something wondrous, precious and important (Ibid.). 41. The main thing is Emunah (faith). So every person has to search himself, and strengthen his faith. For blemish of faith brings extraordinary afflictions, that neither treatments nor prayer nor ancestral merit can help. The sick person isn't even helped by the sound of his sighs and groans, for such sounds can sometimes help the sick person by arousing mercy for him. But on account of the fall of faith, these too do not help (II 5:1). 42. When a man is so fallen from faith, God forbid, that even the wordless screams are of no avail, then one has to cry out from the heart (alone), as in (Ps. 130:1) "From the depths I call to you, Y-H!" This causes deep counsels to be revealed. Then all of the aforementioned is repaired, which are the healing, prayer, ancestral merit, etc. (Ibid. 2). 43. Allowing the holy faith to decline, causes false doctrines and beliefs to gain strength. Conversely, raising and repairing the holy faith, causes the false beliefs to weaken and fall, and the idolaters turn away from their false beliefs toward the holy faith and they convert. Sometimes they become "potential converts," meaning that even though they don't actually come and convert, they nevertheless recognize Hashem Yitbarakh in the place where they are, and they know and believe that there is a One, a First, Yitbarakh. And sometimes they become actual converts, who come and convert. These converts can cause harm to Yisrael, and they bring pride and promiscuity into Yisrael. So for this there are many tikkunim (repairs) that are still needed (see there) [and see Tefilin #6, Joy #24] (Ibid. 4,5). 44. The main way to attain perfect faith is by following the True Tzaddik who has attained the level of Ruach haKodesh ("holy spirit" of prophecy), whereby the Medammeh ("imagination;" man's faculty for symbolic thought and fantasy) is refined and cleansed, which is the main thing that perfects the faith, as it allows him to believe in Hashem Yitbarakh and in the Renewal of the world, which is the foundation of everything. The whole world depends on this (see Tzaddik #98) (8:7,8). 45. Faith depends on a person's mouth. You must declare the faith with your mouth, as it's written (Ps. 89:1), "I will declare Your faith with my mouth." So when someone falls from the faith, God forbid, the solution is to declare the faith with his mouth, saying out loud, "I believe!" and so forth. For this very act of declaring the faith, is itself a type of faith. Also it will bring you to perfect faith, for faith depends on your mouth, as mentioned (44). 46. Conversely, too, God forbid: One must be very careful to not utter any words of doubt or disbelief, God forbid, even as a joke. That is, in his heart he believes, but he just quotes somebody's words of disbelief and ridicules them. This too is very forbidden, because it damages your faith. For regarding Hashem Yitbarakh it's forbidden to say words of mockery, even as a jest (Ibid.). 47. You must take great care to not look at philosophical books at all, for they cause severe destruction and damage to the holy faith. We have explained this in many places, but we need to repeat this warning many times, so that you do not lose your eternal reward in an instant, God forbid (Ibid.). 48. It's better to believe some things that are foolish or untrue, in order to have faith in the truth as well, than to have disbelief in everything, God forbid. That is, one could so much deny the foolish and untrue things, that he mocks everything and denies the truth as well (Sichot haRan #103). 49. Perfect faith is only when you believe in Hashem Yitbarakh without any sophistication at all - without signs or miracles, without any philosophical reasoning - just a simple, pure and innocent faith, like the Yisraelite women and simple folk believe (Ibid. 33). 50. There are intellectuals who are versed even in the hidden Torah and who have no faith [in God]. These intellectuals are called Baalei Raathan [Ketubot 77b]. You must stay far from them and their area as far as you can get, for our sages obm warned us to literally stay far from Baalei Raathan, for the very breath of their mouths can be very destructive to kosher people and it cause them to fall into promiscuity, God forbid. For these intellectuals are themselves usually sexually immoral (Ibid. 106). 51. When you take such joy in Torah and miswoth that you dance for joy (raising your feet), it will elevate your faith (LM II 81). 52. When a person is in a state of "constricted consciousness" and weak in his faith, this is the time for difficult devotions such as fasting etc. But someone with total faith can serve Hashem Yitbarakh with all things, for "The Holy One, Blessed is He, does not act like a despot over His creatures" (Avodah Zarah 3a) (86). 53. Faith is counted as a righteous merit (Gen. 15:6) (Sichot haRan 34). 54. Faith brings children. Emunah אמונה is gematria Banim בנים (Ibid.). 55. Faith has an enormous power. Through faith and simplicity alone, with no sophistication whatsoever, you can reach the level of Ratzon (Desire) which is beyond even that of the Wisdom of Holiness (Chokhmah d'Kedushah). That is, your desire for Hashem Yitbarakh will be so extraordinarily strong with such a rapid yearning that you simply do not know what to do because of the great longing and you cry out with yearning (Ibid. 32). 56. There are cases where people are riddled with doubts about the holy faith because they were not conceived in holiness. And some people have made this worse by their own misdeeds, for there are transgressions that cause a person to have doubts. For all of this, one needs to feel shame and to have a "broken heart," for whoever has doubts like this, God forbid, against the holy faith, ought to be very, very ashamed for causing this by his transgressions. But the shame and a "broken heart" will drive out and break the doubts. Also a great advice for attaining faith has already been described - declaring words of faith with his mouth, as mentioned (in #45) (Ibid.). 57. Whoever has faith lives life; but someone without faith, God forbid, has no life at all. There is nobody who doesn't go thorough many troubles - incidents and hardships - for (Job. 5:7) "Man was born to struggle." But when he has faith then even when troubles and hardships come, God forbid, he can give himself comfort and vitality, that Hashem Yitbarakh loves him and means everything for his ultimate good, and that the hardships are for his benefit and atonement: for everything that Hashem does is for the best. But the sophisticated disbeliever, when some trouble comes he has no one to turn to and no way to give himself vitality and comfort. This is why he has no life at all, since he chooses to go without Hashem Yitbarakh and not under His watch, God save us. But with faith, life is always good (Ibid.). 58. Faith in the unity of God comes mainly through the True Tzaddikim, who are spike of the letter Daleth (ד), as it is brought in the holy Zohar, that the Tzaddik is the spike of the letter Daleth etc. [and without this spike Echad becomes Acher - "one" becomes "other," God forbid] (Tikkunei Zohar #21 55b; LM 10:5). ==ANACHAH - Sighing== 1. The sighing and groaning that the "Ish ha-Yisraeli" does, is very precious, for it brings completion to anything that is lacking. But the sighing only brings completion to whatever is lacking if he is a follower of the Tzaddik who is the True Rav of the Era, for the Ruach Chayyim (Spirit of Life) is received from him, to bring completion to the lackings by means of sighing (Likutei Moharan 8; see Tzaddik #11). 2. A person may be praying properly or doing Hitbodedut (talking to God) - when meanwhile he falls from the level he is at. This is caused by some flaw in his faith. He should feel a "broken heart" and embarrassment - how could he fall from heaven to earth?! He should have pity on himself to the point that he sighs, and the sigh with bring him back to his level (108). 3. How precious when you sigh out of longing for something holy. The sigh you let out because you are far from holiness breaks the bonds of impurity and ties you with the bonds of holiness. But the opposite is true if you sigh for some craving, God forbid (109). 4. One sigh of regret for your sins or how little you've attained (in perceptions of Godliness) is worth more than many acts of self-deprivation and fasts (Ibid.). See more regarding sighing in Azut #2-3. Because sighing for something holy can actually break the bodily Azut (brazenness). Then the soul can approach the body and inform it something of her perceptions of God and so forth; see there. ==ACHILAH - Eating== 1. Eating in a kosher, proper way - when you eat deliberately and don't just gulp it down - this repairs your intellect and subdues folly. But when someone eats like a glutton and drunkard then the foolishness overwhelms the intellect and the light of the Tzaddik becomes dim for him, and he cannot receive from him the fear and the love (of God) (17:2,3). 2. Giving charity to True Tzaddikim and to poor people who are genuinely deserving, causes converts to be made and the blemish in eating to be repaired. Then your intellect is completed and you will be privileged to see the light of the Tzaddik, which will make you privileged to receive the fear and the love from him (Ibid.). 3. When a person attains perfect mastery of the Holy Tongue and guards the Holy Covenant, he has the power to arouse the sparks of all the Letters that exist throughout every thing. Then his eating and drinking and other enjoyments comes only from the sparking of the Letters, which makes his heart shine, causing his face to shine. Then he reaches where his face is so pure that other people are moved to Repentance just by seeing his face, for whoever looks at his face sees his own reflected there as if in a mirror, and sees how deep in the dark he is - to the point that without any rebuke or moral teaching he arouses the other to Repentance just by seeing his face (19:7-9). 4. When someone feels a kind of hunger that is an urgent craving, he should know there are forces that hate him. So he has to attack and break his beastly urge to eat, because this hunger is being caused by the beastly part of his nature; then he'll be safe from the forces that hate him (39). 5. Craving food brings strife on a person; people will insult and despise him. But a person who breaks the love of food attains peace - and then there will also be peace in the realms Above. Then a great contentment in the world will reveal itself and flourish (Ibid.). 6. Whoever is sunk in the love of food, it is certain that he is far from the truth, and it is certain that he's under the force of heavenly judgments. It's also a sign of coming poverty, and that he will be subject to disgrace and shame (47). 7. Whoever breaks the love of food, the Holy Blessed One will perform miracles through him (Ibid.). 8. There are people who sleep away all their days. Some have fallen in the category of sleep through cravings and bad deeds. And some are kosher, decent people, except that their downfall is from eating. Because sometimes when a person eats a food that isn't refined to the level of Man's food, it causes his mind to fall in a kind of sleep. For when you eat in a sanctified way, food that is pure, it lights up your face, meaning your intellect. But when someone's eating is not sanctified then the food brings evil upon his heart causing the loss of this face and intellect, and he falls into a kind of sleep. Even if everyone thinks he is serving Hashem and involved in Torah and prayer, nevertheless he is in the category of sleep, because all his service stays down below and Hashem Yitbarakh has no satisfaction from it. He needs to be awakened from his sleep - but it's impossible to awaken him unless he first has a bit of awakening by himself. The awakening from sleep so that people don't waste their days, God forbid, in sleep, is achieved by the True Tzaddik's story telling. Fortunate is whoever can come to a Tzaddik like this that can awaken him from his sleep, to not sleep away all his days, God forbid! (60:6) 9. The food for "Ish ha-Yisraeli" needs to first be refined of any impurity of the Sitra Achra, because food that has impurities can cause a person to make mistakes. The refinement of the food is by faith, which is attained by fasting; and then his eating causes the unification of the Holy Blessed One and his Divine Presence, face to face (62:1,2,5). 10. All cravings are aspects of Klipot (husks) and Motarot (excess; waste), because the body could survive without the cravings. When a person is hit by cravings, the holiness is being attacked by the Klipot. The chief cravings are the food and drink cravings, because all the other cravings derive from them. When they gain power they drag a person's speech into exile and then he is in the category of (Ps. 69:4) "My throat is become dry" and he is unable to say any words to Hashem Yitbarakh. The remedy for this is fasting; then he'll be able to speak. Through this, one can bring those who are far toward Hashem Yitbarakh, which is the main thing that makes the faith complete. Then, his eating is a very precious thing, as explained above, for his eating causes a superb unification as mentioned (Ibid. 3-5). 11. Eating greedily damages the honor of that which is holy. Then the "brazen-faced" [unabashed tyrants] gain strength, because the honor falls to heathen nations, the wicked, and the brazen-faced of the generation who gain all the respect and power, and then it's the category of "hiding His face," the category of tragic decrees prevailing, God forbid. But when we break the craving of food then it's the "lifting of His face" upon us, the category of cancelling the severe decrees. Then the Holy Honor is made whole, and the brazen-faced have no power or authority (67:2,3). 12. You have to be very exact and eat no more than you need. Because when one eats more than his need, it does him great harm, for even the food that he needed joins together with that food and they do him severe damage (257). 13. When a person eats too much he is like a beast. Because what defines a Man is eating just what he needs - so eating more than that is really what a beast does. And overeating can cause fever (Kadachat, Lev. 26:16), God forbid. Also if what the Man eats contains some food that is insufficiently pure to be Man's food this can also cause that sickness, God forbid (263). 14. Greed for food is one of the three cravings that damage and destroy the heart's reverence. But proper celebration of Sukkot gives you an awareness (Daat) that repairs the greed for food; then you can attain reverence and prayer (II 1:4,5). 15. Sometimes the food someone eats brings him a bad dream, in the category of (Ber. 55b) "a dream sent by a demon," God forbid, which could cause a nocturnal emission, God forbid. To correct this just be happy; bolster yourself to be constantly happy (5:10). 16. Whoever is privileged to follow a True Rabbi who is able to properly illumine the Awareness of the Holy (haDaat haKadosh) for the Yisraelite people, and he himself is a successful person (Ish Chayyil) and not the opposite, a "Shlimazelnik" (unfortunate; loser) - this makes him able to receive an extraordinary revelation of the Divine Will when he eats. Meaning, the Divine Will lights up for him while eating, and he has such a powerful yearning and longing for Hashem Yitbarakh that it's infinite beyond comprehension. He has no idea what he wants; he has just a simple consuming desire toward His Blessedness (Ibid.). 17. Bodily nourishment, meaning the urge for food and drink, can weaken a person's spiritual nourishment, damaging his Reverence, which is the category of "a good smell" (Reyach Tob), which is the essence of spiritual nourishment (II 8:1). 18. By accepting rebuke from the True Tzaddik, who is able to properly rebuke Yisrael (as explained there), we make the spiritual nourishment gain strength over the physical nourishment (Ibid.). 19. A main purpose of eating is for the Berurim (clarifying, refining and extraction): in order to refine the food transforming it into fine speech, which are the blessings that are said over it, and the prayer, the learning, and serving Hashem Yitbarakh by the power of the food. Everyone needs to have these intentions when eating, and then the food becomes the aspect of the Incense and he attains happiness, and this becomes a crown of lovingkindness and goodness for King Shelomoh, of which it says (Song 3:11), "Go out and see ... the crown ..." - and this makes his livelihood come easily (16). 20. Every Yisrael, even the greatest Tzaddik, has to go through some suffering every day. The deeper his consciousness (Daat), the greater his pain. But eating in sanctity and with the fear of Heaven can help to sweeten this pain so it doesn't become overpowering, God forbid (77). 21. Eating with sanctity and fear of Heaven brings your mouth to the status of Qomat Adam (the image of God). Then you'll be privileged that the Shekhina could speak out of your throat. But whoever does not eat in sanctity, his mouth is in the animal realm; behold, he's just like an animal, God forbid (Ibid.). 22. When you are eating - it is one of the main times when the fear of Heaven comes and approaches you. Therefore you should take great care to eat in sanctity and draw upon yourself the Reverence that's approaching you then. Then you'll attain all the aforementioned (in #20-21, ibid.). 23. Take great care to never eat a fruit before it has fully ripened on the tree, for it could kill a person's life. It is also forbidden to pick a fruit before it's ripe, just as it's forbidden to chop down a fruit tree before its time (88). 24. By properly making the blessing over fruit with intense concentration and with fear of Heaven, you can avoid the dangers of unripe fruit. In fact, you need to be very careful with all the blessings of the enjoyments (food, drink, fragrances etc.) but especially with the blessings over fruit, because many lost items are actually present in the fruit of the tree, deep mysteries [such as the transmigration of souls are involved here]. These lost objects need to be refined and elevated (see there, Ibid.). 25. Cooking unripe fruit in order to make it fit for eating still doesn't help if the fruit did not ripen on the tree. But if unripe fruit is left for a time after it is picked until it ripens by itself, this does help and the fruit may be eaten (Ibid.). 26. Be careful to not gulp down your food hurriedly like a glutton. It was Esau who said (Gen. 25:30), "Let me gulp some [of this red pottage]." Be in the habit of eating at a moderate pace, calmly and with the same table manners you would show if an important guest were present. You should always eat like this, even when you are eating alone (see above, #1). Fortunate is whoever achieves this! (Chayei Moharan 515) ==hakhnasat AORCHIM - HOSPITALITY== 1. Welcoming true Talmidei Chakhamim (Torah scholars that are also expert in the Hidden Torah) into your home brings you to acquire faith and to break the prevalent Kefirot (heresy and lack of belief). This elevates and repairs the "fallen Torah" of the unscrupulous talmidei chakhamim, who are in the category of "Jewish demons" (see Zohar III:253a); they are the source of all the hostility towards those who fear Hashem. So this leads to defeat of the opposition (Likutei Moharan 28). 2. Offering hospitality to a Talmid Chakham repairs your prayers. Because everyone has offered some bad prayers, and they come back and confuse him when he stands up to pray a proper prayer. Welcoming and hosting the Talmid Chakham is a tikkun for this (209). ==AERETZ YISRAEL - the Land of Yisrael== 1. The root of faith, which corresponds to prayer and miracles, is none other place than the Land of Yisrael. That is the main place from where prayers ascend [to Heaven]; your prayers can achieve whatever is needed, and can accomplish true miracles and wonders in the world. (Likutei Moharan 7:1). 2. When the Land of Yisrael, which corresponds to faith and prayer, is abused, then we descend into exile. The main concern is prayer descending into exile: then it is impossible to pray and to do miracles in the world (Ibid.) 3. Whoever wants to really be an "Ish Yisraeli," meaning someone who keeps going from one level to the next, can only achieve this through the Land of Yisrael's holiness. Because every step that you need to ascend in holiness can only be accomplished through the Land of Yisrael. Likewise every ascension in prayer is only through the Land of Yisrael (20; Chayei Moharan 15). 4. In the merit of the Torah that we bring forth, we merit the Land of Yisrael. Also, by being present with the Tzaddik while he is drawing forth Torah and then teaches it in public - then we also have a portion in the Torah that the Tzaddik draws, and this also makes us merit getting into Eretz Yisrael (Ibid. 4,6). 5. You can only get to Eretz Yisrael through hardships. The root of the hardships stems from the wicked detractors that publicize a bad image of the Land. But drawing the Torah as mentioned, subdues the detractors and hardships. The more complete the Torah that you merit to draw forth in greater tikkun, the more you merit subduing the detractors and getting into Eretz Yisrael (Ibid. 6,10). 6. When a person has attained the aspect of Eretz Yisrael, he is called "Gibbor Takkif" (a man of strength and valor, Sifra d'Tzniuta, Gen. 10:8, Ruth 2:1). For before he's attained the aspect of Eretz Yisrael (1 Kings 20:11), "He that girds [his sword to fight] shall not boast as he that ungirds it [having won the battle]." But after, when he has won the battle, he's called Ish Milchamah (Man of War, I Sam. 16:18) (Ibid. 10). 7. By giving charity to the Land of Yisrael you become included in the air of the Land of Yisrael, which is holy breath that has no taint of sin (Shabbat 119b), and this banishes the forces of severity, darkness etc. from the world. This also guards you against foreign thoughts during prayer and makes your mind and thoughts clear and pure, which is a type of Tikkun Habrit (37:4; 44). 8. Eretz Yisrael is a Segula (has a mystical power) for having children and for relief from divisiveness and strife. Also, the sanctity of the Land of Yisrael will inform people who is the True Rabbi of the Era. Truth will spread throughout the world, and everyone will return to Hashem Yitbarakh, even the nations of the world, to serve Him (Zeph. 3:9) "with one consent" (48). 9. Praying vigorously is the way to get to Eretz Yisrael; another way is the miswah of Sukkah. Because Sukkah, vigorous prayer, and Eretz Yisrael are all one thing; they are all interdependent (Ibid.). 10. The only way to see the downfall of the wicked is by the aspect of Eretz Yisrael (55:1). 11. Praying in the proper way (as explained in Prayer #51-56) causes sparks of the Patriarchs' merits to flash forth. This allows us to feel the sanctity of Eretz Yisrael even today during the Exile, even when it's under the hand of the Sitra Achra (the forces of the Other Side) and her sanctity is hard to see. Nevertheless even in this bitter Exile these sparks of the Patriarchs' merits reveals and draws to us her sanctity. The revelation of her sanctity lets us see the downfall of the wicked. Not only will we be delivered from their evil - we will see them suffer the very evil they sought to inflict upon us. All this is accomplished by evoking the favorable side [of Heaven, causing the Tzaddikim to escape] when we look for merits in the wicked ones. This also allows the Tzaddikim, the Osei Tob (doers of good), to see and to attain P'nei Hashem (the "face" of God) (Ibid. 2,3,8,9,11,12). 12. The miswah of separating Challah is also bound up with the inherting Eretz Yisrael, because it allows us to draw the light of the Patriarchs, which lets us reveal the sanctity of the Eretz Yisrael and attain all the aforementioned (Ibid. 8). 13. Whoever travels to Eretz Yisrael truly for the sake of Heaven, to find or to get closer to Hashem Yitbarakh - Eretz Yisrael will definitely benefit him a great deal. For just by entering E"Y he is "eaten by her" (Num. 13:32) and transformed by her sacred character. Therefore, even "whoever walks four cubits in E"Y will assuredly inherit the Coming World." But whoever's motive is not at all for serving Hashem, to rid himself of his evil - then even dwelling in E"Y will be of no use, for she spews him out, a la (Lev. 18:28) "as it vomited out the nation that was before you" (129). 14. The sanctity of E"Y will bring you to faith and thereby to Arikhut Appayim ("long breath;" patience), meaning you'll break the force of anger, sadness, lethargy, and heaviness. You'll just make yourself very quick in serving Hashem, and you'll let no detractors or obstacles hinder you, because you're Erekh Appayim, patient, to endure anything (and see Aemuna #34) (155). 15. You need to pray of Hashem Yitbarakh, to have the desire and yearning for Eretz Yisrael until you merit to get there; and also that all the tzaddikim should have yearning for Eretz Yisrael. This is a Segula to cancel out anger and sadness, as mentioned (Ibid.). 16. When Hashem Yitbarakh pays back a person measure for measure it is really a great kindness, so that the person can understand from it and examine his deeds. The essential place where this happens [most directly and precisely] is Eretz Yisrael (187). 17. Eretz Yisrael is the supreme holiness comprising all the holinesses. There, we can free ourselves of the naturalistic viewpoint and come to know and believe that everything is by Heavenly supervision alone, which is the summation of holiness. This can make us like the Blessed One - dividing between light and darkness. Then we can tell stories of True Tzaddikim, having the ability to discern the difference between stories of True Tzaddikim and the opposite of them. Then the stories of True Tzaddikim can purify our Mach'shava (thoughts and thinking) and sweeten the evil decrees, saving us from all suffering (234). 18. Where you should get the right Moach (consciousness, "vibe") and the Chokhmah (wisdom) is only from Eretz Yisrael. Even those Yisrael that are outside the Land, they receive or they suckle all their Moach and Chokhmah from E"Y. Now, every Yisrael has a portion in E"Y so he suckles or receives his Chokhmah from E"Y according to his portion there. But when someone blemishes the honor of Hashem Yitbarakh, God forbid, it causes the Mochin of E"Y to fall onto the Mochin of the foreign lands, which causes controversy and strife, for the Mochin of the foreign lands are the aspect of controversy (II 71). 19. The Mochin of E"Y have the quality of "Noam," the quality of Ne'imut haTorah, the pleasantness of the Torah, the quality of peace. Charity, particularly charity for the Land of Israel, makes a vessel to receive the influx of this Noam; and then one can repair even the Mochin of the foreign lands. But when God forbid the Mochin of the foreign lands are severely damaged by people dishonoring His Blessedness then they can't be repaired - on the contrary, these foreign land Mochin even damage the Mochin of E"Y which are the quality of peace, and then there's strife even in E"Y. This is what's going on with the divisions today in E"Y being as deep as in the foreign lands (Ibid.). 20. The graves of the True Tzaddikim have the the exact same holiness as the E"Y, as it is written (Ps. 37:29), "Tzaddikim inherit the Land." Now, E"Y is a great remedy for abuse of the Berit. Therefore one must make an effort to come to their gravesites, for their gravesites are holy as mentioned, and this is a huge repair for damage to the Berit (109). =Beit= ==BERIT - Covenant, Its Damage and Repair== 1. By '''Shmirat haBrit''' (guarding the purity of the Abrahamic Covenant) you'll gain the ability to pray (in its twofold aspect including both praise of God and asking one's needs, like a double edged sword) (2:2). 2. The basic drive of the '''Yetzer haRa''' (Evil Inclination) is for sexual promiscuity, this being the fundamental source of defilement (Zohar III:15b). So you should know the main test of any man in this world is for this craving. Fortunate is whoever wins this war! (Ibid. 6) 3. Whoever has an awareness of himself that he has wasted "the drops of his brain" (meaning he wasted seed) needs to have mercy on himself and not let any of the controversy and divisiveness between the tzaddikim enter his heart; he should just believe in all of them. The only reason why any questions and crookedness of heart fall on his mind about the tzaddikim on account of the controversy between them is because he has wasted the drops of his brain - for had he not damaged his brain it wouldn't disturb him it all; the controversy is just for him (see Tzaddik #8) (5:4). 4. The counsel of the True Tzaddikim and their students are the aspect of '''Tikkun haBrit''' (purity), whereas the advices of their smooth-talking opposers inciting and repelling people away from the Point of Truth are the aspect of '''Pegam haBrit''' (damage to purity), because the advice that someone gets from a person are like drops of intellect. Therefore whoever has damaged his Berit needs to be extremely careful to guard himself from the influence of these enemies of the truth - otherwise he could lose his eternal reward in an instant, God forbid (7:3). 5. Wanton desire is mainly affected by what one sees, and the miswah of Tzitzit are a protection against this; it saves you from the abovementioned evil counsel and makes you able to receive the true advices of the True Tzaddikim. So you need to be extremely careful to do the miswah of Tzitzit. Also have the intention when you're doing their wrapping and blessing that you should attain Shmirat haBrit (guarding the Berit's purity) and True good advice. This will lead you to faith and Eretz Yisrael and will draw the Redemption closer, so you can attain prayer and miracles and wonders in the world; as well as livelihood, for livelihood primarily depends on Tikkun haBrit - and this will bring you to understand any part of Torah you're studying, and all the wisdoms will be revealed to you like a set table (Ibid. 1,4,5). 6. Pride and promiscuity go hand in hand. So by being Shomer haBrit a person can rid himself of pride and find the light that will guide him back to God (11:3). 7. A main cause of bitter struggle in order to make a livelihood, and why the man toils so much, is because of Pegam haBrit. For whoever is Shomer his Berit, even though he does work and commerce it's like the Mishkan construction, consisting of Thirty-Nine Lights. But he that is Pogem the Berit is pursued by poverty and he takes the yoke of bitter struggle on himself, like the thirty-nine 39 lashes (Deut. 25:2-3), God forbid. (Ibid.). 8. Shmirat haBrit has two aspects: One is that of the man whose marital relations is during the weekdays, and this is also called Shmirat haBrit, since his marital relations are permitted according to Torah - provided that he guards himself from transgression, God forbid. This is the aspect of "the lower union," which can bring one to attain Halakhah in the Torah, the aspect of '''Razin''', secrets. But there is someone whose relations are only on Shabbat, and this is the aspect of "the upper union," and through this he attains also the aspect of Kabbalah and Razin d'Razin. However, even one whose marital relations are only on Shabbat also needs to be very careful that his marital relations be in sanctity and that he keeps them on the level of Shmirat haBrit - how much more so do those on the lower level whose marital relations are also during the secular days definitely need to be extra careful to not blemish their Berit, God forbid; but in any case they should just not transgress the Torah, God forbid. When Shmirat haBrit in observed on both of these levels then the Honor of Hashem Yitbarakh is complete and we attain all the abovementioned aspects, such that we arrive at deepest understandings in the Torah (Ibid. 5-7). 9. Talking with others about about self discipline and the fear of Heaven, inspiring them in searching for God, is a remedy for Keri (nocturnal emission) (14:13). 10. The sexual urge is the comprehensive evil that encompasses all the different kinds of evil of the seventy nations. For every nation and language has a hold on a certain evil, meaning some bad characteristic or some bad desire that is particular to that nation; they're mired in that urge and that's where they're under the grip [of evil]. But the sexual lust is the comprehensive vice where the evilest urges of all the evils of all the nations joins together. All these evils burn together to make a fire, and that's the blazing furnace that makes a person burn with sexual lust. But Hashem Yitbarakh has separated us from the nations and elevated us over every tongue, so we need to keep apart from all of their wickedness, meaning from all those urges that are not appropriate for us - particularly the urge for sexual degeneracy which is the comprehensive evil of all the nations as mentioned. For this is the essential difference and delineation between us and the nations - that we keep away from promiscuity; it is the very main thing that makes Yisrael holy. For a man has the power to divert his mind from this urge and to break it - and this essence of our holiness (19:3). 11. The key to breaking all the cravings, especially promiscuous desires which are the main thing that needs to be broken, is by '''Shleimut Lashon haKodesh''' (perfection and mastery of the holy tongue, Hebrew). This means an abundance of holy speech: torah, prayer, and having chats with your Maker. Even though you speak with your Creator in Yiddish which is what we speak in this country, it's still counted as Lashon haKodesh, because in fact when you speak (your own words) with your Maker you need to specifically talk in your own language (as explained in elsewhere, Hitbodedut #13). The point is to guard your tongue, sanctifying it with holy words - which is an aspect of Shleimut Lashon haKodesh - and to guard your tongue so as to speak no evil words, which blemish the holy tongue. Then this sanctity of speech we've described will subdue the comprehensive evil as mentioned (Ibid.). 12. Tikkun haBrit and Shleimut Lashon haKodesh are interdependent: the more you speak holy words in the category of Lashon haKodesh, the more you attain Shmirat haBrit; and the more the Tikkun haBrit, the more Shleimut Lashon haKodesh. The same is true in reverse if someone blemishes, God forbid (Ibid.). 13. The sexual lust which is the comprehensive evil is embodied by the Serpent that seduced Eve and infected her with impurity that is [referred to in various of our holy literature as] "the temptest spirit," "the spirit of madness," "the foolish woman" (Prov. 14). It is the way of the Serpent to beguile the '''Ruach haKodesh''' (holy spirit of prophecy), which is Lashon haKodesh, corresponding to Shmirat Habrit, and to infect her with impurity. This is the aspect of (Gen. 4:7), "for the Petach (opening), misdeed crouches" - that this misdeed which is the Serpent, lies in wait to be nourished from a person through Pegam haBrit. For main object of the Yezter haRa is to make a person fail by this lust (Ibid.). 14. You need to speak a great deal of holy words, which are the aspect of Shleimut Lashon haKodesh, as (David haMelekh said, Ps. 39:4), "My heart waxed hot within me... then I spoke with my tongue" - using Lashon haKodesh to cool off your passion. This saves you from the '''Ruach Searah''' (tempest spirit) "cooling" you by a nocturnal emission, God forbid (Ibid. 5). 15. All the bad treatment and humiliation that happens to a person is due to Pegam haBrit. And conversely by Tikkun haBrit he is treated with respect (Ibid. 3). 16. Shleimut Lashon haKodesh, which is Tikkun haBrit, can give you the ability interpret dreams as did Yosef (Ibid. 4). 17. The essence of Shleimut Lashon haKodesh, which is the essence of Tikkun haBrit, which encompasses the repair of all the cravings and character traits - you can only receive from the mouth the True Tzaddikim. That's why you have to travel to the Tzaddik and hear from his mouth specifically. A book of moral teachings or hearing from another who heard from him is not enough, because the very root of '''Shleimut haDibbur''' (mastery and perfection of speech), which is the aspect of Shleimut Lashon haKodesh, which is the essence of its repair, you can only receive from his holy mouth specifically. Because the source of the '''Yir'ah''' (fear of Heaven), which is the key Shleimut Lashon haKodesh, which is Tikkun haBrit, which is comprised of all the Tikkunim, is there (Ibid. 20:1). 18. Because of Pegam haBrit a sword is let loose in the world, as in (Lev. 26:25), "the sword that executes the vengeance of the Berit" (Leviticus 26:25) (20:10). 19. Calling out to God in a loud voice is a Tikkun haBrit and bestows a revelation of the ''Daat'' (awareness and knowledge of Heaven), because at the outset when the Berit was pagum, the Daat was pagum (Ibid.). 20. For this reason we say the Haggadah in a loud voice, for the Haggadah is a Tikkun haBrit, and this is what brought the Redemption, because the Galut Matzrayim was over blemishing the Berit, as is brought (in the kabbalistic books). Also, the wine of the four cups (of the Seder) is Tikkun haDaat which is Tikkun haBrit (Ibid.) 21. '''Tikkun haBrit Kodesh''' (to try to a tzaddik in the aspect of Abraham) saves you from the "face" of Sitra Achra, which is the lust for money which is a foreign devotion, which is sadness, melancholy, darkness, "the dark face," death - and binds you to Godliness and you attain (Ps. 16:11) "satiety of happiness with (Hashem's) face," for the light of the face of the Living King dawns and shines on you (23:2) 22. By Tikkun haBrit you will be able to perceive the source of all the blessings and money, where at its root the abundance is entirely a pure and clear light, making the love of money just go away (Ibid. 5). 23. By Tikkun haBrit you'll perceive '''he'arat panim''' (revelation of the "face" of God and His ways), '''hadrat panim''' (the splendor of God's "face") [see the Idra Rabba, where the thirteen attributes of the Beard correspond to the thirteen attributes of mercy (Ex. 34:6-7)], meaning your mind gets purified by the Torah and you're able to entirely explain and teach it according to the thirteen principles of Torah exegesis, which are the very aspect of hadrat panim. This leads to the voice of your (joyous) shouting becoming so pure that just by the sound of your wordless cry the Holy Blessed One saves you at your time of trouble. Through this you attain peace, and you can even draw the whole world to the service of His Blessedness (27:1-6). 24. The more negative commandment prohibitions a person has transgressed, God forbid, the more he taints the Shekhinah with '''Dam Niddah''' (lit. banishment blood, menstrual blood) and sunders apart the Holy Blessed One and the Shekhinah. To repair all his transgressions in detail would be an extremely vast and difficult thing for the person, and it's impossible to repair them because there are many details and particulars in each prohibition. Therefore he needs to make the '''Tikkun haKlali''' (the General Remedy, the Comprehensive Repair) which is Tikkun haBrit (Restoration of the Covenant) and thereby all the prohibitions he transgressed will be anyway get repaired. Even in places so narrow and fine that a repair cannot get there - by Tikkun haKlali he disperses repairs even there (29:3-4) 25. By Tikkun haKlali which is Tikkun haBrit the '''Mochin''' ("brains," state of awareness) are elevated, because Tikkun haDaat (repair of awareness and knowledge) is mainly according to the Tikkun haBrit. The main way that Yisrael can get close to their Heavenly Father is by Shmirat haBrit (guarding the Berit's purity) (Ibid. 4). 26. Through Tikkun haBrit one receives livelihood without toil, in the aspect of Manna (Ibid. 5). 27. All the while a person has not achieved Tikkun haKlali, it's forbidden for him to speak. He doesn't know how to use speech and he's unable to reveal hidden Torah. Whoever speaks at such a time transgresses (Lev. 19:16), "Do not go talebearing among your people" and his (Prov. 11:13) "revealing secret is going talebearing." But with Tikkun haKlali he may feel free to speak; he can open his mouth and speech will shine with Torah (Ibid. 6). 28. Pegam haBrit can cause epilepsy (choli nofel), God forbid; but Tikkun haBrit brings healing from epilepsy (cholaat ha-nefilah) (Ibid. 7). 29. When someone has not yet achieved Tikkun haKlali he needs to avoid drinking wine, because it strengthens in him the blood that's the source of the transgressions, God forbid. It can also harm his livelihood and he could become impoverished. But whoever achieves Tikkun haKlali, then on the contrary his drinking raises high his Mochin (consciousness) and makes Tikkun haKlali even more complete (Ibid. 8). 30. The main thing that keeps faith enduring is Shmirat haBrit (31:3). 31. All the conduct (i.e. the laws and the behavior of) the Galgalim (heavenly orbs, the aspect of charity) and all the conduct on earth - all the blessings and all the devolutions (what passes down from level to level) - all depends of Shmirat haBrit (Ibid. 2,3). 32. Any trials a person has during travel are because of Pegam haBrit. But by Shmirat haBrit he won't suffer when traveling (Ibid. 4). 33. By Shmirat haBrit one achieves freedom (Ibid. 5). 34. There are two aspects of the Berit (the aspect of Abraham and of his servant Eliezer; master and servant; upper and lower firmament; Tzaddik and scholar). The one level is the guarding of the sanctity of the Covenant; this is the Upper Berit. The second level (the Lower Berit) is keeping [the laws of what is] forbidden and permissible. Therefore one needs to learn the laws of [what is] forbidden and permissible in order to also attain this second aspect. When Shmirat haBrit is achieved on both these levels then (M"K 17a) "he is like the Angel of Hashem Tzeva'ot," attaining perfect faith and conducting all the blessings and influxes as stated above. He is filled with love and good yearning and longing for Hashem Yitbarakh, so he is able to form the letters of the Torah for goodness. Then the letters of the Torah themselves ask of him that he speak them with his mouth, so that he forms them for goodness. This makes it that his eating and dining is in the category of the '''Lechem haPanim (the Showbread)'''. Then his table atones like the altar, and then all the stars and constellations and all the nations which are under their influence all toil for his livelihood (Ibid. 5,6,9). 35. The main test of a person is the sexual urge, which is the sum total of the lusts of all the seventy nations. When a person is in this trial, constituting a kind of "exile" - each person in whatever way he's facing it, then he needs to cry out a great deal of shouts to Hashem Yitbarakh just like a birthing woman who cries out due to the bitter pain of the birthpangs, "cry after cry amounting to at least seventy" (Zohar III:249b). This is how he needs to call out out so many cries to Hashem Yitbarakh, so much that Hashem Yitbarakh has pity on him and he merits to overcome and break this craving. Then he'll merit to give birth to '''Mochin ("brains," a level of consciousness)''', and then the secrets of the Torah will be opened to him; ''d'tamirin m'galyan leih'' (what was hidden will be revealed to him). And every person, the more he withstands this test and breaks this craving, the more revelation in Torah and devotions he merits - even getting to (see) the "the seventy faces of the Torah" (36:1-2). 36. The remedy for sexual fantasies is to say (the twelve words) '''Shema' Yisrael H' Elokeinu H' Echad''', and '''Barukh Shem Kevod Malkhuto Leolam Wa'ed.''' Then his Neshama-spirit will be joined with the twelve (Ps. 122:4) "Tribes of Y-h," and he separates his Neshama from that of the '''Erev Rav''' (the mixed multitude, Ex. 12:38) who are the children of "the harlot woman" (Prov. 6:26) who is the ''shifcha bisha'' (the wicked maidservant, T. Zohar 15a); for that's the source of this urge which is the fusion of all the evil character traits (Ibid. 3). 37. When a person merely has a stray thought or fantasy it will be effective enough for him to say these two verses we mentioned. But if he's someone who God forbid has thoughts of this all-encompassing evil lust all the time and he finds himself unable to rid himself of it - then when he's "accepting the yoke of heaven" (that is, when saying the Shema') he needs to also bring himself to shed tears. Meaning to motivate himself to literally weep and shed tears as he's saying "Shema ..." and "Blessed is the Name of His glorious Kingdom for ever and ever" (Ibid. 4). 38. When someone is me'Takken Ot Berit Kodesh (achieving high purity), then his Mochin (state of awareness) is complete, so he's able to understand what the Tzaddik says. The better a person's Tikkun, the better his religious perception. For this is a fundamental principle, that it is impossible for any person to perceive and retain what the Tzaddik says unless he is properly me'Takken Ot Berit Kodesh beforehand. But Pegam haBrit (damage to purity) damages his Daat and Moach to the extent that he's entirely unable to grasp and comprehend the Tzaddik's utterances; he could even stumble by them if he follows after the crookedness within his heart and the foolish and nonsense doubts and questions that arise in his mind. (Ibid 5). 39. Sexual temptation can literally make a person go out of his mind. This is why the medical authorities have written that castration is a cure for madness (Ibid. 6). 40. Once one breaks his sexual desire, he can easily break all his desires. This is why (the tikkun for sexual impurity) is called '''Tikkun haKlali''' the comprehensive tikkun. The further a person is from sexual desire, the closer he comes to the radiance of Torah. The opposite is also true; God save us. This explains why, before a person can receive a new revelation of Torah, he is first tested in the crucible of this passion. If he stands up to the test, breaking "the husk that precedes the fruit," he attains the fruit namely revelation of the Torah and the aforementioned things (Ibid. 1,2). 41. When your marital relations are in holiness and you break your craving soul (''nefesh ha'mit'awweh'') — i.e. the beastly soul (''nefesh ha'bahamiyyut'') — so that (Nedarim 20b) "it seems like you're being forced by a demon (to act vigorously and quickly)" — thereby you will have viable children. Because the reason children die, God forbid, has to do with the ''nefesh ha'bahamiyyut'' (39).<br> 42. Also your marital relations should be mainly on Shabbat evening, so you shall have living and viable children (Ibid.). 43. Be careful not to listen to the words of someone who is wicked and also intelligent, because hearing his words incites wanton desire. For his speech is speech laden with poison, entering in the body of the listener (43). 44. One who abuses the Berit has the aspect of bitter waters — polluted waters, impure seed. Then he's unable to pray, as in (Ps. 35:10), "All my bones declare..." (and "Good tidings plump the bones," Prov. 15:30) meaning he can't taste sweetness in the words he prays. Then a dog comes down and eats his offering, his prayer (T. Zohar #3). This is the aspect of bitterness, corresponding to (Prov. 5:4) "a two-edged sword," the aspect of Gehennom (which "has two daughters that shout, 'Give! Give!'” (ibid. 30:15)). But when one guards the Covenant in purity his prayers are in the category of sweet waters — the "waters of purity", the "seed of holiness;" then his words are sweet and beneficial, and when they go out of his lips and are heard by his ears they insert their sweetness into his bones, and then his prayer is in the category of, "All my bones declare ..." Then a lion comes down and consumes his offering (50). 45. Now know this - the Azei Panim (brazen-faced; unabashed tyrants or opposers) of the generation are the dogs, and they rise up and make opposition to an Ish ha-Yisraeli who has not yet repaired his Berit perfectly (Ibid.). 46. Whoever has been Pogem his Berit should be be wary of dogs and the sword (that is, weapons and battle) (Ibid.). 47. By subduing the '''Klipa''' (husk, impure spiritual forces) of Amalek, which is Pegam haBrit, attaining Tikkun haBrit, (Moshe) merited the double bounty which corresponds to '''Lechem Mishneh''' for Shabbat (the double bread given for Shabbat, Ex. 16:5), namely ''Mishneh Torah'' (Prov. 8:30 - ''yom yom'' is double). Through this, (a person doing the same) attains new Torah insights on Sabbath, "two for one," and Shabbat bestows on the rest of the worlds, dispatching its illuminations to all the levels, healing with spiritual healing and bodily healing, rousing the world to repentance out of love. And then all the devout people of the generation are healed and they become admired in the eyes of people. Through this, each one receives new Torah insights that the Tzaddik bestows on ''yom Shabbath'' (58: 4,5,7-9). 48. '''Hevel ha-yofi''' (the vanity of beauty, Prov. 31:30) leads men, when they don't guard against the beauty of women, to perform '''chen shel sheker'' (deceitful charms; false graces; putting on airs). For there are various forms of deceitful charm that a person does while standing, eating, talking with people and so forth. Whatever thing he does has another special "charm" for it. And all these kinds of chen shel sheker come by not being cautious of female beauty (60:3). 49. ''Hevel ha-yofi'' brings men to poverty (Ibid.). 50. Wantonness can cause breaks in breathing, which is the Neshama, which is the root of a person's vitality. This allows the bodily fluids to dry, which results in damage to the brain and the mind, because mental life depends on the fluids and fats in the body. This is why all forms of madness are caused fundamentally by sexual desire, as is known. Even other people that are not actually insane but who are very mentally feeble or confused, it's all because of wantonness, as it dries out the fluids and fats in the body, spoiling the intellect as mentioned (Ibid.). 51. '''Yir'ah''' (awe), namely the fear of heaven, fear of your rav, and fear of father and mother, saves you from the beauty of women and deceitful charms, and allows you to attain wealth (see Fear) (Ibid. 3,4). 52. Whoever marries a woman for money is a fool and an idiot (Kiddushin 72). He damages and ruins his mind and intellect. His children will turn out to be immoral (69). 53. Anonymous giving is a Tikkun for nocturnal emission, God forbid (83). 54. Pegam haBrit stems from sadness and melancholy. Conversely joy leads to Shmirat haBrit (see Simchah)(169). 55. Sexual desire is one of the three lusts that destroy and undermine fear (of God) in the heart. But by properly observing Chag Shavuot, we draw '''Daat''' (knowledge and awareness) into the heart to repair this lust. Thereby we attain fear, prophetic inspiration, and prayer [and medicine becomes unnecessary for we are healed as well by bread and water, and we are healed of illnesses when they're unknown and before they progress] etc. (see Festival, and Reverence) (Likutei Moharan II, 1:4,5,8-11). 56. A person's sexual desire is according to the milk he nursed as an infant. So great care should be taken that the baby nurse from a pious woman. For if the baby nurses from an immodest woman then the sex drive will be stronger than needed in him, God forbid. Conversely when he's nursed from a pious woman he won't have such passion in him except the little that's needed for the mitzvot of the Torah (Ibid. 4). 57. Today publicity and fame go to unworthy leaders and ''mefursamei shel sheker'' (who act like the Tzaddik and conduct themselves with prestige). The arrogance of the false leaders causes sexual immorality to become rife, leading to waste of seed, God forbid, as in (Lev. 15:3) "''heChTiM besaro''/ his flesh is stopped up (from his emission, it is his impurity)" - this is the ''ChoTaM'', the seal and stamp, of the Sitra Achra. The only way to escape this is by the power of the Guardians of the era, who are the Tzaddikim and his pious followers who are called '''Maginnei Eretz''', Guardians of the Land. They wage a fierce battle in this matter, but they transform ''heChTiM besaro'' to the ''ChoTaM diKedushah'', the Seal of Holiness, which is the aspect of Tefillin, which are the '''hitnotzetzut haMochin''' (the dawning and shining of the "brains" and state of awareness of H"Y). For the main repair of the Moach goes according to breaking this lust, meaning when fantasies attack people very strongly and could result in an impure emission, God forbid, which is the aspect of ''heChTiM besaro'', but they strengthen themselves well and drive away those fantasies and draw on themselves holy thoughts - by this they transform ''heChTiM besaro" to the aspect of Tefillin which are the ChoTaM diKedushah, which is the hitnotzetzut haMochin. So from these Maginnei Eretz every person needs to receive power to defeat the fantasies and reverse them to Mochin diKedushah as mentioned. And this, everyone needs to know, that the more the fantasies attack him, when he defeats them and flees from them and breaks them, by this he does an enormous Tikkun and raises the Kedushah from the Klipa, and draws the aspect of the Tefillin's sanctity, which are the hitnotzetzut Mochin, to know and to make known His Blessed Power in the world. And the more and the greater it attacks him, the more the tikkun of the Tefillin is accomplished, when he matches the powers of their campaign to break them. And it's only for this reason that those bad and foreign fantasies and ideas are sent upon him - in order that they be turned opposite and that from them specifically be made the Tikkun of the Tefillin as mentioned (Ibid. 6,7). 58. By breaking sexual fantasies we attain Tikkun haMochin as mentioned. This results in "a dream brought by an angel," and then is he called ADaM (Man, for he's on the level of "in our likeness [DeMuteinu]" - Gen 1:26). Conversely when the Mochin are not pure then the dream is brought by a demon, God forbid, and then he's "like a beast" (''ka'b'hemot niDMu'', Ps. 49:13) (Ibid. 9). 59. The food a person eats also influences his dreams. So sometimes the dream is damaged toward "a dream brought by a demon," God forbid, due to the food he ate, and it could cause him an impure emission, God forbid. The remedy for this is to be happy; to strengthen oneself in being always happy (Ibid. 10). 60. There are times when, God forbid, an impure emission results from unfit rabbis and judges perverting the '''mishpat''' (justice). The remedy for this is ''Kishur haMerkabah'', "Assembling the Chariot" - a reference to what the early Sages instituted, to say before going to sleep, "(In the name of H' God of Yisrael:) To my right, Mikhael" etc.; this is Kishur haMerkabah. This is a Segulah for being saved from that defilement that is caused by perversion of the mishpat by the unfit judges (Ibid. 11, 12). 61. A person's Moach (mind) and Daat (knowledge, awareness) are the shield against sexual desire. For there are three Mochin in a person, and each one is a barrier deployed against this impulse. Where this impulse derives its strength from is "the spirit of folly." Therefore, every person needs to know and remember this, that every time these fantasies want to overpower him, God forbid, he should run away immediately from this spirit of folly unto divine knowledge and spread out the partitions of the mind against this lust just like a physical divider [because the true divine knowledge shields against this lust just like a physical divider]. Understand this. For it is not something than cannot really be explained; each individual just needs to see for himself how to escape from and divert his mind from this "spirit of folly" and pull himself to (his) spiritual powers (ha-Daat) which are the partitions against them (8:2). 62. Anger and cruelty damage the Daat, leading to immoral desire, God forbid. Then prayer falls into the aspect of Din, severe judgment, and the Sitra Achra, forces of evil, nourish from it. Then we need a super powerful person to pray prayer in the category of Din and thereby everything is repaired (There^) =Mem= ==Mikveh== 1. Mikveh immersion saves you from all afflictions, God forbid, and purifies you from all impurities and from all sins. For the mikveh draws down unto you the very highest consciousness and kindness (daat w'chesed 'elyon m'od). (Likutei Moharan 56) 2. Immersing in a mikveh makes your livelihood come easy, causes dispute and anger to be annulled, and lets you attain abundant peace, goodness and consciousness, and to attain healing, life, and length of days, and to inspire people towards Hashem Yitbarakh (Ibid.). 3. Mikveh is not harmful at all. A doctor that says that a mikveh is harmful is not a doctor at all, for when the water is not too cold, then, on the contrary, immersing in a mikveh is very good for bodily health, for it opens the sweat pores, as the expert doctors know (Ibid. 123, and see Travel #8 [below] regarding mikveh). ==Mo`adei Hashem - Elul== '''1. The ''kavanot''/themes/meditations''' of ''Elul'' are a remedy for blemish of the Covenant. And through this one shall find his mate, and she will not be against him; she will only lean toward his will. And for the main ''kavanah'' of ''Elul, ''see ''Likutei Moharan ''6. '''2. The month '''of ''Elul ''is the time fit for attaining knowledge, i.e. that one should attain to know and understand what one did now know before; and through this one makes new garments for his soul, and is saved from all the afflictions (see Da`at/''Knowledge''). '''3. ''Elul'' '''is capable of circumcising the foreskin of his heart, until he pays attention and thoroughly feels the pain of his sins in truth, until also all the hearts of all the drops that were drawn from him to any place that they were drawn, etc., should also feel, and a great noise should be made amongst them and they shall return in ''teshuvah'', all of them (see ''Teshuvah/''Return). '''4. The main [time] '''of repentance is the month of ''Elul'', for they are days of favor, since Moshe went up to receive the latter tablets and opened a paved road to go on. And the main way to repentance that Moshe made is to know that the Lord, blessed-be-He, is everywhere, and to find the Lord, blessed-be-He, everywhere, in all the declines in the world and in all the advances in the world, for sometimes through a man’s going up, for instance if he becomes wealthy, then he forgets the Lord, blessed-be-He. Also even in the service of the Lord we have found that there is one that went up to a great level, then denied at the root, may the Merciful One save us. Therefore one must ask of the Lord, blessed-be-He, that He should draw him close in an approach that will not harm him. And likewise in all the declines in the world, God forbid, even in the lowest level, also there one must tie himself to the Lord, blessed-be-He, for his Kingship rules over everything (see 27 in ''Hitchazkut''/Strengthening'' ''and elsewhere). ... ==Mo`adei Hashem - Chanukkah== 1. Through the mitzvah of Ner Chanukkah he recognizes Kavod Hashem Yithbarakh (H"Y glory or presence), and His Kavod is elevated and aggrandized in the world, and those who were distant are awaked to return to Hashem Yithbarakh, and they attain Awe and Shalom Bayith and prayer, and strife and slander are nullified, and universal peace is drawn to all the worlds.

Seeing the Tzaddik's face makes you happy and quick (Likutei Moharan 4). 2. You need to do the miswoth in such joy that you don't want any reward of the Coming World for it, just that the Holy One, blessed be He, should bring you another miswah in reward for that miswah - because you benefited from the mitzvah itself. By this, one can know what is decreed upon the world, and whether it is now before the passing of the decree or after, and upon just whom is passed the judgement, God forbid; and he'll know how to pray for the world. For after a decree the Tzaddikim must clothe their prayers in stories. All this they attain by doing wiswoth in extreme joy from the miswah itself (5). 3. The way to attain this joy is by praying hard, with great fear and in love etc., as it says in the prayer [to love and fear Your name etc.] (Ibid.). 4. Dancing and clapping your hands can sweeten severe decrees (10). ... 29. You must bolster yourself to be happy by any means, and to try and search out in yourself any good points in order to get happy, as explained regarding the verse "Azammera l'Elohai B'odi" (I will sing to my God while I yet live; have my being) [I will sever my judgements by finding bits of points good in me] (Ps. 104:33 — and see Hitchazqut/Strengthening #26). In any case you should be happy in this — being privileged to be of the seed of Yisrael, "that He did not make him an idolater." This happiness is definitely a wondrous, infinite happiness without a doubt, since it's something Hashem Yitbarakh did, Himself (and see elsewhere regarding this). So say it often, with your mouth and in your heart with great joy, "Blessed is our God, Who has created us for His glory, and separated us from those who err" etc. This should make you happy all your days, no matter what you go through. And at times you need to cheer yourself up by means of nonsense activities and words of jest. Because people experience so many troubles - ailments of the body or money - therefore they are usually unable to cheer themselves up except by means of nonsense things, acting a bit like a drunkard (clowning around) in order to get happy, as the whole life of the body and the soul depends on this. This also makes a superb unification up above, by this Bedicha Daateh (joking; to jostle and clear the mind) — that is, happiness. 30. It is a big mitzvah to always be happy! You need to bolster yourself with all your strength to drive away the sadness and the melancholy, to be only happy always. This is healing for all kinds of sicknesses, because all kinds of ailments are due to sadness and "black bile," so you have to make yourself happy by any kinds of strategies. Usually this requires nonsense activities, items, or words, as mentioned above. ... =Tau= ==TALMUD TORAH - Learning Torah== 1. Learning [the Tzaddik's] Torah ("ha-Torah" – the hidden Torah, "Torat Hashem"), gets all our prayers and requests to be received, causing the Chen (favor, grace, charm) and the Chashivut (standing, importance) of Yisrael to rise to the top, in the eyes of all the entities and creatures, wherever it's needed – both the physical and spiritual entities (1:1). 2. By studying this Torah vigorously, you give strength to the '''Malkhut d'Kedusha''' ("the Holy Kingship;" the powers of good) to be dominant (over the ''Malkhut d'Sitra Achra'', the forces of "the Other Side;" evil), and you strengthen the '''Yetzer haTov''' (the good inclination within a person) over the '''Yetzer haRa''' (the evil inclination) (Ibid.). 3. Being engaged in this Torah will bring you to understand the hints from all the different things in the world – to attach and to get close to Hashem Yitbarakh through them. So that even in the darkest and dimmest of places where it might seem impossible to be close to Hashem Yitbarakh – there too haSekhel haEmet (the Intellect of the Truth) will light your way, to find H"Y even there - and even get close to H"Y from that place specifically (Ibid.). 4. "A person doesn't commit a transgression unless a spirit of insanity gets in him" (Sotah 3a). Therefore the sins and the damage a person has done, is actually just how insane he is. This is why all kinds of crazy and nonsense can be found in most people. The remedy is to study Torah intensively, because the Torah is entirely the names of the Holy One, Blessed Is He - so it has the power to crush the Yetzer haRa and banish the madness and the spirit of insanity that have clung to a person because of his sins (Ibid.). 5. Being engaged in this Torah also saves you from the sneaky tricks of the Yetzer haRa. Usually instead of trying to persuade a person to do a blatant sin right away, it disguises itself as mitzvot and so forth. But being engaged in the Torah allows you to develop True Intellect and to escape from all that (Ibid.). 6. Torah and prayer give strength to one another and illumine each other (2:6). 7. By studying Gemara at night, a "string of lovingkindness" [חוט של חסד - see LM II:8 and the relation to the Future Song of 72] is drawn to you, and you can free yourself from thoughts and motives that are not for the Torah's own sake. This leads you to the proper state and channeling of the sound of music – so that you can't be harmed by hearing the sound of the Sitra Achra's music, which could do severe damage your service of Hashem Yitbarakh. And you'll be able to raise up the Neginah diKedusha (holy music), so that people can cleave to H"Y by songs and music. This sets up and raises high the Malkhut di'Kedusha ("the holy Kingship;" the forces of holiness), and can make such a person worthy of a position of authority and having command over whatever he wants. He can even attain a kind of prophecy (3). 8. By learning the Poskim (decided halakhic codes) you separate and clarify the good from the evil and banish and nullify the evil from within the four elements that constitute all the human character traits - which is man's essential '''Tikkun''' (repair; thing to fix; the proper state). This leads to the thing that he's praying for to achieve completion and to emerge from potential to actual so that his request is fulfilled; and he's able to cast down to the earth those who argue against him and oppose him (8:6,7). 9. The way to clarify what's the '''Psak Halakha''' (the decided law) is by prayer (Ibid.). 10. By saying out loud your Torah learning - this speech illumines and shows you where Teshuva is needed, so you can get to make actual teshuvah that's substantive and proportional (to the damage, ''teshuvat ha-mishkal''). And in an ongoing process by each and every teshuvah, you advance from one level to the next; so you can even get out from the lowest levels and reach the deepest understandings of the Torah (11:1). 11. But attaining this kind of illuminating speech is impossible unless you break your arrogance and pride, so that your learning isn't for the sake of prestige – to make a show of it or to quarrel, God forbid, or to attain rabbinic office and authority. Prerequisite for this is Shmirat haBrit (Ibid. 2,3). 12. When people study Torah with improper intentions - the main (problem) being if they learn the Oral Torah: the Gemara and the legal codes with not the right intentions - a mouth is made for them (forces and people) to say untrue things about the True Tzaddikim. This is why there is opposition to the True Tzaddikim from "Torah scholars," as explained there in LM #12 (12:1). 13. Before learning, you need to know that when you sit down to learn, the Tzaddik who is in Gan Eden will be listening to your voice. So you need to bind yourself to the '''Tanna''' (Mishnaic teacher) or Tzaddik who originated and revealed this Torah teaching that you're learning. This constitutes a "kissing" – a type of bond between the two spirits, a cause for great joy to the Tanna. This will bring you to Teshuvah and renewing your days that have passed in darkness. All this happens when you learn Torah for its own sake, in order to perform the mitzvah of learning Torah — which is equal to all the other commandments put together — bringing you to fulfill the Torah. But when someone just learns not for the sake of Torah – to called a "Torah scholar" or so forth, then (ref) "a carcass is better than him." He definitely can't connect with the spirit of the Tanna and therefore can't see the truth, and he turns into an enemy and critic of the True Tzaddikim, as mentioned above. The exile of the Shechinah is just this – this that the Oral Torah is in exile in the mouth of such Torah scholars (Ibid.). 14. When the kosher Torah scholar learns the words of a Tanna, he thereby restores the soul of the Tanna to his (the Tanna's) body (Ibid.). 15. It is a good practice to study legal rulings in conjunction with the Be'er HaGolah (the commentary which gives the Talmudic source of each ruling), in order to mention the name of the Tanna or legal authority who originated the ruling in question, in order to attach your spirit with his spirit and achieve all the aforementioned (Ibid.). 16. Engaging in Torah in holiness and purity arouses the sinners of Yisrael and converts to return to God. But it is only possible to achieve this when one is absolutely humble and lowly (14:3-5). 17. Whenever a person learns Torah – and this applies especially to a Talmid Chakham – he must aim to send light to the root of the Neshamot. Then he'll be able to cause the wicked and the proselytes to turn back and make Teshuvah - even those who are far from Him; and he'll we worth of having a son who is also a Talmid Chakham. But when a person doesn't learn in this manner, his son will not be a Talmid Chakham (Ibid. 3,4). 18. By '''Hitbodedut''', meaning, having a private experience (a time and conversation with God), judging and evaluating yourself regarding everything you do, you attain fear of God, which is the means to understand the Revealed Torah and attain true humility. Thereby you'll attain prayer in self-sacrifice - nullifying your very being and material existence during prayer - and this allows you to perceive Hidden Torah, which is the Hidden Light that will be revealed in the future. Fortunate is he that attains this (15)! 19. The secrets of the Torah can only be attained by someone who (Eruvin 22a), "blackens his face like a raven," becoming like a raven to its young, to the extent of nullifying all his physical existence as if he's not even in the world (Ibid.). 20. The secret aspects of Torah are called '''Koshesh''', Holy. "And no common man shall eat the holy" (Lev. 22:13) - so only His '''Kedoshim''' - (truly) Saintly ones - and those whom (He/he) has called shall eat of it (Ibid.). 21. When Torah is drawn into the world, Hashem Yitbarakh's '''hashgachah''' (supervision, care, providence, tending) is drawn over us. And the closer a person is to the Torah, the more complete is Hashem Yitbarakh's hashgachah over him (13:4). 22. There are times when bittul Torah (neglecting Torah) is its fulfillment. Because someone who wants to be constantly engaged in Torah and in serving Hashem cannot be glued to Hashem Yitbarakh and His Torah continuously without a break. He's just forced to take some recess, for sometimes he has to go out and engage in worldly matters, so that the disturbances and distractions of the Sitra Achra can't rise up and destroy his mind completely, God forbid, so he has to desist sometimes. But when Mashiach comes then no one will need to interrupt from his devotions (16). 23. One who wants to receive new Torah insights must first draw to himself words hot as flaming coals. He must first pour out his words talking to Hashem Yitbarakh, warming up Hashem Yitbarakh's love toward him. Then the Lev Elyon (Supernal "Heart") opens and hot speech flows out - and this speech draws forth Torah insights from that place as well (20:2). 24. When he prays before giving a Torah lecture he needs to pray in Tachanunim (beseeching) - begging of Hakadosh Barukh Hu free grace and not because of his own right or merit. Just he should stand before Hashem Yitbarakh like a poor who has nothing, and speak Tachanunim. He also needs to bind himself with the Neshamot of his audience - and then his prayer is Tefillat Rabbim (prayer of the community) which is never spurned (Berakhot 8a) so it will surely be accepted. Then everybody who is present there will have a share in the Torah he reveals (see Tzaddik #32) (Ibid.). 25. Through the merit of this Torah that is revealed you can be privileged to enter the Land of Yisrael (Ibid. 6). 26. When a person learns Torah - and discerns no new aspect in it - this is because the '''Mochin ("brains," state of consciousness)''' are hidden from him, in the aspect of pregnancy. Then it is beautiful (i.e. appropriate) for the person to cry out, both in prayer and in Torah, and thereby he will bring the Mochin to fruition (21:7,8). 27. Whenever someone learns Torah without gaining any new original insights - even though HK"BH still delights in it, nevertheless he should not teach it publicly. But whoever Hashem has gifted with the understanding of some sort of original idea, according to his capacity - it's only proper that he reveal and introduce this understanding (that was previously '''Segulah, supernatural''', and '''Makif, hovering''', for him) to the Am Segulah (Yisrael, who were given the Torah by the Supernatural) and share his own goodness (TUBO) with the others (Ibid. 8,9). 28. Through Torah and prayer one attains joy. And from joy one attains '''Azut di'Kedushah (holy boldness)''', and from Azut di'Kedushah he merits following True Tzaddikim, and through them he attains perfect faith. And from faith he has the aspect of "hands" to receive '''Mussar (rebuke, also tradition or ethical teachings)''' from True Rebukers. Through this we are saved from expulsion and controversy, and peace in the world is increased, and peace is made between Yisrael and their Heavenly Father. Then he repairs the seal of holiness, in the aspect of a "seal within a seal" (22:9). 29. You need to keep far away from listening to Torah lessons from '''Talmidei Chakhamim (scholars who are learned in both halakhah and hidden Torah)''' that are unscrupulous, for they are the aspect of "Jewish demons" (v. Zohar III:253) who receive their Torah from the demons who are in possession of fallen Torah. This is why they seem to always give amazing lectures that are well received by the masses, and all their speech is by way of allegory, rhetoric and explanations that amaze. But there is nothing to be gained from them, because the torahs of these "Talmidei Chakhamim" have no power to direct men on the path of good. Just the opposite - their torahs lead people into severe disbelief and heresy, and they end up vilifying and shaming the '''Yir'ei Hashem (God Fearing)''', and all the opposition (to the Yir'ei Hashem) originates from them (28:1). 30. The remedy for this is to extend hospitality to True Talmidei Chakhamim within your house. This will bring you to faith, '''Chesed''' (Divine benevolence; human kindness and charity), and nullifying yourself before Hashem Yitbarakh, as in (Ps. 22:7), "But I am a worm and not a man." Through this, you defeat the opposers, and break the disbelief and heresy they cause - and you'll be able to elevate and refine the good that is in their Torah (Ibid. 3-5). 31. You can only attain true Torah through '''Azut di'Kedushah''' (holy boldness) - being "bold as a leopard" (Avot 5:24) in serving Hashem, paying no attention whatsoever to those who hinder you and try to ridicule you and so forth. According to a person's Azut is the Torah he will attain. For whoever has Azut diKedushah will gain true new Torah insights from the side of Kedushah. Conversely whoever has Azut of the Sitra Achra, who is brazen-faced in mirror opposition to the kosher and devout people of the generation etc. <rtl>(עז פנים כנגד כשרי הדור וכו')</rtl> doesn’t attain true Torah insights - only from the Sitra Achra attaining Torah. And according to the Torah a person receives in accord with his Azut as mentioned, the prayer he attains is such (30:8). 32. '''Shleimut haAdam''' (reaching the complete state of Man) - is to be both a Tzaddik and a Torah scholar. For if he's not learned our Sages obm said (Avot 2:6) "''W'lo am-ha'aretz chasid''/ An ignoramus can't be pious" ('''chasid''' also means a follower of the Tzaddik). On the other hand, to be learned by itself is for sure nothing, because one can be learned and completely wicked, God forbid, and (Yoma 72b on Deut. 44:4) "when a person is unworthy the Torah becomes the '''Sam''' (drug) of death for him." Therefore, a person needs to be both learned in Torah and pious in good deeds - and then, he is (Chagigah 15b) like (Mal. 2:7) ''mal'akh H' Tzevaot''/ the angel, of the Lord of Hosts" and he forms the letters (''Ot'') of Torah for goodness, and brings life and all goodness to the world. But whoever errs and thinks the main thing is to just be learned, he is like Acher (R' Elisha ben Abuya, the notorious scholar-turned-disbeliever of the Talmud) who (Chagiga 14b) "uprooted the saplings" (31). 33. Now, even when a perfect Tzaddik - being both a Tzaddik and '''Lamdan''' (Torah scholar) - when he occasionally falls from his level, as it's a known thing that it's impossible to constantly remain on the same level: Then when he's falling from his level, if he wants to hold on to the level of Lamdan that he still has - it's not good. He just needs to bolster himself in the the fear of Heaven and with the good points that are still in him (Ibid.). 34. By the Torah and the Tzaddikim you attain Shalom (peace, wholeness) - that there's Shalom among Yisrael, and Shalom for each person in his traits. Meaning, he's not divided in his traits [t.n. cf. schizophrenia lit. "split mind"] or by his experiences - they make no difference to him. Whether in good (times) or in bad, he always finds Hashem Yitbarakh there (33:2). 35. '''Chokhmot chitzoniyyot''' ("external wisdoms"; secular arts and sciences) are stupid and dark in relation to ''Chokhmot ha-Torah''. By fasting and charity to Eretz Yisrael you can attain ''Chokhmot ha-Torah'', which are a form of ''hit'alut ha-nefesh'', elevation of the soul, the category of ''Chesed'' [72, Nanach] lovingkindness, light, and life, causing the '''Dinim''' (harsh judgements and decrees) to be sweetened and nullified (see Tzedakah #15,16) (35:1). 36. The judgements can only be sweetened, and the world can only exist, by "the breath of little children (learning Torah) of Beit Rabban" (Shabbat 119b). So every person needs to very much pray for and seek out a kosher, upright, God-fearing teacher — praying to Hashem Yitbarakh a great deal for this — so that the teacher shouldn't corrupt the holy breath of the children (37:4). 37. Through the Torah a person studies in times of hardship, in poverty and pressure, a thread of kindness (''chut shel Chesed'' (=72), Chagiga 12b) is extended to him, and he drives out the masters of judgement and all the all the Sitra Achra. By this, he rectifies speech and elevates it to its source, to the point that he's able to lay out his speech beautifully before Hashem Yitbarakh, speaking with the warmth in his heart (Ps. 39.4), words of truth that are in his heart (Ibid. 15:2) (38:4). 38. When a person sharpens his Sekhel by studying Torah, his Mochin are sharpened, and haKarah (recognition) is added for him, to recognize the greatness of Hashem Yitbarakh. Then he's utterly ashamed of his mistakes, which is the essence of Teshuvah, and he attains the light of Tefillin, which are the aspect of the Or haPanim (Light of the Face), the aspect of the Etz haChayim (the Tree of Life). (Ibid. 5). 39. Damaged faith leads to neglect of Torah, resulting in exile, wandering and journeys. (40). 40. Even in learning Torah there has to be an aspect of contentment. Because sometimes a person gets confused by wanting to learn too much, for he sees there's a lot to learn and he wants to learn the entire Torah "standing on one foot" and due to this he gets very frustrated; he can even neglect it and not learn at all because of this. So he needs to have an aspect of contentment even in Torah, for (Avot 2:16) "it's is your duty to finish the work [but neither are you at liberty to neglect it]" as our Sages said (54:3). L 41. New Torah insights bring the creation of new heavens and earth, and thereby all the influxes and blessings come to the world. However, there are new Torah teachings that come by way of the '''Medammeh''', imagination, which constantly tries to dwell on those who study Torah law. This is why those novelties appear attractive and credible (in Yiddish ''glaykh'', straight, right, reasonable) — because they come from the power of the Medammeh, which likens (medammeh) one thing to another. Now, even though there is good in them, since they're words of Torah - alas, the bad in them is more than the good. And Torah insights like these can bring famine in the world, God forbid, therefore they harm a person's livelihood; so we should pray to Hashem Yitbarakh to be saved from them. The remedy for it is: To guard oneself well from '''Lashon Hara''' (negative speech about others), from both speaking it or accepting (believing) it. And also to maintain oneself happy at all times, because the main cause of this disruption by the Medammeh and the source of all the lusts, is from being of sad spirits. And they way to subdue that is by being being happy (see Simcha #13) (Ibid. 6). 42. Through engagement in Torah we attain vitality and length of days. Because by Torah engagement we call the ''Chai haChayim'', the Life Source of All Life, Blessed-be-He, and draw from Him life and length of days. And we need to engage in Torah with the mouth specifically, saying the Divrei Torah out loud; this way we call the Blessed One and draw from Him vitality and length of days (56:3). 43. A person who engages in the Torah can admonish even people that are very far from God, even without knowing what they need, and even without them being present. Even so, by his Torah learning and engagement, those who are far can hear the Torah’s proclamation. For the Torah proclaims, cries out, and admonishes constantly, declaring, "Until when, fools, will you love folly?" etc. (Zohar III: 36, 58, 126). Only, they don’t hear the voice of the Torah's proclamation due to the multiplied concealment resulting from multitude sins, God forbid. For nowadays God is hidden from us due to our many sins, in a "concealment within concealment" as in (Deut. 31:18) "''Wanochi hasteir astir''/ I will hide (even) the hiding." But by engaging in Torah we uncover the concealments, so much that even those who are utterly far (from God) hear the voice of the Torah's proclamation and admonishment and all return to Hashem (Ibid.). 44. And even people who are farthest from Hashem Yitbarakh, who have become "abandoned and estranged" from the Omnipresent One - including even those who had been at some time near Hashem Yitbarakh but who have already forgotten it, as well others who even now remember Hashem Yitbarakh but alas they haven't the strength to overcome their Yetzer - Nevertheless! by the enormous power of learning Torah earnestly, it can cause all of them to hear the Torah's own voice of proclamation and admonishment as mentioned and to all come back to Hashem (Ibid.). 45. When a person learns Torah he needs to see to it that from all his studies learning Torah that he receives and derives from them ''Mishpatei Emet'', true justice and decisions, namely ''hangagot yesharot'', proper conduct and behavior, both for himself and for others who conduct themselves according to his advice, each person according to his level, according to whatever greater or lesser rule and authority he has over him. He attains this by ''emunat chakhamim'', faith in the Sages, by which he's able to receive and derive from all his studies learning Torah ''Mispatei Emet'' and ''hanagot yesharot'', to know how to behave in every thing, both he and those who rely on him (61:1). 46. At present there are many (kosher holy) books, and there are still many such books to come. The world has need of them all, and it's forbidden to ridicule any of them, since their whole foundation and structure is according to the holy Torah, both the Written and the Oral. Only the books that go according to the Greek philosophies which are their speculations and secular philosophies and sciences, one must keep ultimate distance from them, no matter who composed them. But books that go according to the holy Torah that we have received from Har Sinai, the Written and the Oral, they are all extremely dear, and the world needs all of them, and whoever ridicules any one of them, God forbid, is sentenced to boiling excrement, and doesn't merit to derive and receive ''hanhagot yesharot'', proper course of action, from his learning, and never attains perfect counsel, so his mind is always divided - until he makes complete Teshuvah on this and repairs this, so that all the holy books that go according the foundations of the holy Torah gain a renewed importance in his eyes. Thereby all the harsh decrees in the world are sweetened, and whatever decree may be in the world, everything will be sweetened by the holy Torah, whose completion and perfection is by the abundance of books on the Oral Torah, when people believe in them (Ibid. 5). 47. Likewise, whoever is able to innovate his own Torah insights and his intention is for the sake of Heaven, he needs to have faith in himself as well. He should believe that God has great delight from his innovations. He should not back off from them; rather he should hasten to develop new ideas all the time and write them down, until holy books are composed of them. Thereby all the judgements in the world will be sweetened, as mentioned (Ibid.). 48. Through studying the '''Poskim''' (the halakhic deciders' rulings, which represent the settlement of dispute between the Sages), one nullifies strife at its root (in holiness). This nullifies dispute that is below, eliminating the dispute of the '''Yetzer haRa''' (evil inclination) in his heart (''libo''), which are the doubts, disbelief and things that interfere with faith that arise in his heart, which make his heart divided from Hashem Yitbarakh making him unable to pray properly. For the root of the obstacles to prayer making him unable to pray with the proper devotion - it is solely due to imperfect faith. Because really if the person knew and believed whole-heartedly that (Isa. 6:3) "all the Earth is filled with His Glory" and the Holy Blessed One stands over him when he's praying and He hears, listens, and pays attention to his each and every word of prayer - he would definitely pray most fervently, taking great care to say his every utterance with concentration. It is only because the person isn't very strong in this, he therefore isn't so motivated and isn't so careful. All this stems from dispute by the Yetzer haRa in his heart; so the remedy is to learn the Poskim, as thereby he's connected with the peace that's in holiness, so the Yetzer haRa in his heart is nullified and then his heart is no longer divided and conflicted from Hashem Yitbarakh, so then he can serve Hashem "with all his heart" (''levavo'', Deut. 6:5) - with both Yetzers - and the gates of the intellect are opened for him, so that he "knows how to answer the heresies" (var. of Avot 2:14) that are in his heart and he's able to truly pray "with all his heart" (62:2). 49. When a person toils in Torah until he succeeds in knowing and understanding it, through this he heals his soul, he elevates it to its root, he sweetens all the judgements, and he plants a "tree of life" on high that has the power to heal. He also sustains and renews all the worlds and reveals God's Glory in the world. For the ultimate purpose of all man's devotions is only in order to magnify God's Glory, Blessed is His Name (74:1,9,17,18). 50. Someone who labors in Torah but is unable to understand (and so stammers the words), this is also extremely good. Because each and every word rises on high, and the Holy Blessed One delights in it, (plants it on the banks of "that Nachal," brook) - and these words become (great trees called) "willows of the brook" (Ibid. 3,15; Zohar III:85b). 51. Without engaging in the Torah it's impossible to live. At times a person is passionate for Hashem but it's so excessive he could burn up entirely due to such excess passion, God forbid. But being engaged in Torah cools the flame of passion so it's in proper measure and he can endure. The same goes for the opposite when God forbid sometimes a person burns for worldly lusts so much that the enormous heat burning for these cravings could engulf his whole body, God forbid - but when he learns Torah it protects him and saves him, putting out the fire burning in him and thus he can live. The Torah is therefore the source of all life (78). 52. (Complete) '''Teshuvah''' (repentance, return) depends primarily on Torah. That is, when a person (goes through the process to first) learn Torah and then continue and exert himself until he's able to be ''mevin davar mi-tokh davar'' (understand one thing from another) and gain new insights in it for the sake of Heaven, this is complete Teshuvah. Then he brings back and connects to their root and their place, all the letters and combinations that pertain to him in all the worlds, bringing all of them back from all the places they were banished and scattered, making him a brand new person. Then his Daat (spiritual awareness and mind) is settled - so he's able to arouse such '''Rachamim''' (goodness, compassion) from His Blessedness that Hashem Yitbarakh Himself prays for him. That is, Hashem Yitbarakh by His simple Rachamim (of Z"A) arouses His abundant Rachamim (of Atika Setima, Zohar III:137b); then he'll have abundant, complete salvation, Amen (105)! 53. When you learn some Torah it is a good thing to explain it in the language you understand. This is a benefit to the world (118). 54. No matter what a person is learning he should find himself in it: he should derive a personal lesson from what he is learning and recognize his own insignificance and lowliness. This is a sign that he wants to perform the will of God (121). 55. When someone unworthy teaches Torah he may be attacked by sexual craving, God forbid. For it is a grave sin for one who is unworthy to teach Torah even to one other person; all the more so a group (134). 56. When studying a Torah concept originally introduced by a Tanna or a Tzaddik, you should picture in front of you his appearance just like the Tzaddik or the Tanna is standing before you. This saves you from forgetfulness (of the teaching, and you also attain a resemblance of the teacher) (192). 57. Feels the sweetness in the Torah saved you from becoming a widower (199). 58. One who wants to innovate substantive new Torah insights, needs to weep beforehand, to prevent the Sitra Achra and the Klipot from feeding off of these inventions (262). 59 There are those who say Torah which is very broad below but extremely narrow above. They are broad below because these people expound and enlarge it at great length. But above they are very narrow — because up above in holiness, nothing remains except some mere spark. On the other hand, there is the opposite - the Torah discourses of the True Tzaddikim seem very short and narrow below, but above they are very, very broad and large. Fortunate are they. The same applies to arousal… (See Prayer #75) (279). 60 Even a simple person, if he sits himself with a book and examines the letters of the Torah carefully, he can perceive novelties and wonders, as long as one doesn’t put this up for a test (281). ==Travel== ... 8. When traveling you need to take great care about mikveh immersion, for mikveh is a Segula for being saved from murderers. ... ==Tzaddik== 38. You need to search for the absolute greatest Rebbe. Because for the abovementioned [to attain perceptions of Hashem Yithbarakh's Divinity] you need the very greatest Rebbe who can illumine - even in you - perceptions of His Blessed Godliness. And the lesser the person, the more he needs the very greatest Rebbe, to be such a wondrous coach, who can enclothe a lofty consciousness like this, namely perceptions of Him, Yithbarakh Shemo, for a person as minor and as far as he. For the weaker the patient, the more he needs the greatest healer. So make no mistake and say, "It's enough if I just follow with a kosher simple leader that has a presumptive status of fearing Hashem and has some status. Why do I need to seek out big things and keep looking for the absolute greatest Tzaddik specifically? If I could first just be like this kosher leader! [like many followers say about that one]. Do not make the mistake and say this! Just the opposite - every person in accord with how he knows his soul is so low and so utterly far from Hashem Yithbarakh, accordingly he needs to follow specifically the True Rebbe of the utmost highest level. For the smaller he is, the more he needs the True Rebbe that is greatest of all as mentioned.

Each one on taking a draught of water from it had to drop into it a pin or other piece of metal. If this was not done, and if at any time afterwards the same person attempted to draw water from it, the Spirit resisted, annoyed, and hunted the unfortunate till death by thirst came.

A Roman Catholic chapel was at one time near it, and the present graveyard occupies the site of the chapel. This well was renowned for the cures it wrought in more than one kind of disease. To secure a cure the ailing one had to leave a silver coin in it. Once there was a famine in the district, and not a few were dying of hunger. The priest's house stood not far from the well. One day, during the famine, his housekeeper came to him and told him that their stock of food was exhausted, and that there was no more to be got in the district. The priest left the house, went to the well, and cried to St. Machar for help. On his return he told the servant to go to the well the next morning at sunrise, walk three times round it, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, without looking into it, and draw from it a draught of water for him. She carried out the request. On stooping down to draw the water she saw three fine salmon swimming in the well. They were caught, and served the two as food till supply came to the faminestricken district from other quarters. {{center|{{small-caps|Ben Newe Well}}.}} There is a big rugged rock on the top of Ben Newe in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, On the north side of this rock, under a projection, there is a small circular-shaped hollow which always contains water.

''To the Editor of'' {{small-caps|Folk-lore}}.}} {{small-caps|Sir}},—Certain farms in the west of Shropshire stand on the site of an old deer-park, and are bounded in part by the old park fence. The ditch is inside the fence, yet the obligation of keeping the fence in repair rests with the owner of the land within it, that is to say, of the former deer-park; not, as usual, with the owner of the land next to which the fence is placed. It is locally believed that the ownership of the deer-park carries with it the right to cut timber for the repair of the fence for a space of five yards from the outside of the boundary, which is called ''the right of the buck's leap'', and has, it is said, been exercised within the memory of man. Further. Between Wrottesley Park in Staffordshire and the adjacent Manor of Pattingham lies a belt of grassy land, a sort of green lane, leading to nowhere in particular, and called the ''Deerleap''. The park, in which red deer were kept till the reign of Charles II, was emparked by royal licence granted to Sir Hugh de Wrottesley during the siege of Calais by Edward III. But the name of the ''Deerleap'' is far older than this, as it occurs twice in a record of the boundaries of Wrottesley in the first year of William Rufus (1088), first as "Deerspring", then as "Deer length", thus: "Hæc terra Wroteslea habet duas hidas.

''To the Editor of'' {{small-caps|Folk-Lore.}}}} {{small-caps|Sir}},—Allow me to say, in regard to the concluding remarks of Professor [[Author:John Rhys|John Rhys]] in the June number, that some of my words had not been correctly reported—especially those on the Flat-foot Question. On receiving the March number, I at once wrote, as you remember, to express regret at this fact. I will not take up space by setting right three or four errors of reporting, which do not concern the present subject. What I said on December 9th, before the Society, was this:— "As to the instep, I can speak from personal experience. Almost every German in this country—that is what I have often heard—finds that an English shoemaker makes his boots not high enough in the instep. It is a usual complaint of Germans in England. I don't know but it may be that ''some northern Germanic tribe'' had perhaps slightly flatter feet than Germans in general." This, it will be seen, is very different from what I was made to say in the report. I did ''not'' assert that there was a difference, in this respect, between northern and southern Germans. In using the words, "may be that ''some'' northern Germanic tribe had perhaps slightly flatter feet than Germans in general," and guarding even this by, "I don't know," I carefully avoided any such general statement as has been attributed to me. I had in my mind the idea that possibly some northern Teutonic tribe (either German or Scandinavian), which was mainly a seafaring one, had developed slightly flatter feet, though I would not say for a certainty that such must be the result of that exclusive occupation. Still, that is a point which might be investigated. Historically, it is well known that the Germans, from the<noinclude></noinclude> iycfhm9pszvozr7xa3ix2vaajaz1j5v Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

Their performances were the wonder of the Romans, who were astounded to see Teutoboch, or Teutobod, jump over six horses. The dangerous sword- and spear-dances of the Germans, performed by their youth in a state of nakedness; the extraordinary swiftness of their foot warriors (''velocitas peditum''), which Tacitus also mentions; and their manifold gymnastic exercises during the Middle Ages—not to speak of our present ''Turn-Vereine'' in North and South—forbid the notion of flat-footedness being a Teutonic characteristic at all. Professor John Rhys, on his part, says:—"Nobody now regards the bulk of the South Germans as of the same race as the tall, light-haired people of North Germany, or the Teutonic element of a somewhat similar type in this country." This sweeping assertion wants a great deal of modification. Compared with the North, the South of Germany shows, no doubt, a greater percentage of men of middle height, with brown hair and dark eyes. The explanation is to be found partly in some remnants of Rhaetian, Keltic, and Roman population, which became blended with their German conquerors; partly in later invasions and wars, which also left their mark. Yet, take even a country like Bavaria—the largest, next to German Austria, in the southof our Fatherland. There, the statistics drawn up in all the schools, in accordance with Professor Virchow's suggestion, show that in Bavaria there are 66 per cent. of grey or blue eyes, and only 34 of brown ones; 54 per cent. of fair hair, 41 of brown, and only 5 per cent. of black, hair; 85 per cent. of white-skinned and only 15 per cent. of somewhat brownish-skinned, people. In these statistics, I need not say, the Jews are also included, who in Germany are more numerous than in any other European country, Russia excepted.

Now, is it right, in speaking of the origin of the Belgians of old, simply to pass by the striking and decisive passage in Cæsar? Or did Professor Rhys not know it? The omission seems to me all the more strange as he acknowledges "the truth of the tradition reported by Cæsar, that Belgic tribes had made themselves a home in the south of the island"—that is, of Britain—long before Jutes, Frisians, Angles, and Saxons conquered this country. In Ireland, again, as early as the first part of the second century, Ptolemaios mentions a Belgian and an undoubtedly German tribe in the neighbourhood of Dublin. I mention this with all due respect to a distinguished Keltic scholar, whose papers on "Manx Folk-lore and Superstitions" I have heard and read with much interest.

St. Ann. Supp. 1919, § 3115 1/2 a et seq.). It was commenced by Francis P. Garvan as Alien Property Custodian. He ceasing to be such, Thomas W. Miller was appointed his successor, and substituted as petitioner. Section 7 of the act provides that, 'if the President shall so require, any money or other property <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> held for the benefit of an enemy,' without license 'which the President after investigation shall determine <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> is so held, shall be conveyed, transported, assigned, delivered, or paid over to the alien property custodian.' The act has received exposition in Central Trust Co. v. Garvan, [[254 U.S. 554]], 41 Sup. Ct. 214, 65 L. Ed. 403, and Stoehr v. Wallace, [[255 U.S. 239]], 41 Sup. Ct. 293, 65 L. Ed. 604, and what it authorizes, and the conditions of the exercise of its authorization determined. Whatever problems the act presents those cases resolve. They decide that the President's power may, under section 5 <ref name="ref1"/> of the act (Comp. St. 1918, Comp. St. Ann. Supp. 1919, § 3115 1/2 c), be delegated to and be exercised by the Custodian, and that the determination of the Custodian is conclusive whether right or wrong. And it may be exercised by forcible seizure of the property or by suit and, if by suit, the suit is purely possessory and must be yielded to; the right of any claimant being postponed to subsequent assertion. And it was decided that the Custodian acquires by suit 'nothing but the preliminary custody, such as would have been gained by seizure. It attaches the property to make sure that it is forthcoming if finally condemned and does no more.' In other words, and in comprehensive description, the act may be denominated an exercise of governmental power in the emergency of war and its procedure is accommodated to and made adequate to its purpose, but securing as well, the assertion of opposing or countervailing rights 'by a suit in equity unembarrassed by the President's executive determination,' and if the claimant 'prevails' the property 'is to be forthwith returned to him.' These are the determining generalities, and the Circuit Court of Appeals applying them, affirmed the decree of the District Court, adjudging, ordering and decreeing that the Commercial Trust Company of New Jersey 'do forthwith convey, transfer, assign, deliver and pay to Thomas W. Miller, as Alien Property Custodian, all of the money and other property held by it under a certain trust agreement entered into on January 30, 1913,' between the company and Frederick Wesche and Helene J. von Schierholz. A list of the moneys and other property was attached to the decree. It was recited in the trust agreement that the property which consisted of bonds, was held 'for the joint account of said Frederick Wesche and Helene J. von Schierholz, and to collect the interest to become due and payable on said bonds' for their joint account, and to deliver the bonds from time to time as requested, to either 'or to the survivor of them, it being understood that the said bonds and the said interest money to be collected thereon are to be held and collected and delivered or paid over to either the said Frederick Wesche or to the said Helene J. von Schierholz, or to the survivor of them.' In addition to the above, the following may be quoted from the opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals: 'The Trust Company, in compliance with the provisions of the act, made a report in December, 1917, that it held stocks, bonds, mortgages, securities and money, of the value of about $600,000, in trust, as to both principal and interest, for the joint account of Frederick Wesche, of Paris, France, and Helene J. vo Schierholz, of Plaue, Germany, to be delivered and paid to either upon his or her sole demand, or to the survivor. 'Upon investigation the Alien Property Custodian determined that Wesche was a neutral and von Schierholz an alien enemy not holding a license from the President, and demanded surrender of the securities. Because the neutral had power upon his sole order to withdraw the whole property, the Trust Company thought the Alien Property Custodian had no right to it and accordingly declined to yield possession. Because the alien enemy had like power upon her sole order to withdraw the whole property and acquire its possession, the Alien Property Custodian thought he had a right to it and accordingly demanded it. The question is, Which was right?' The court answered the Custodian by virtue of his power under the act and the efficacy of its exercise. This appeal disputes the answer, and the contention is that the power was not exercised as required because the Custodian had not made an investigation which justified in any way 'any determination that the property was ''all'' (italics counsel's) enemy property, or seizure of ''all'' (italics counsel's) the property as such.' In support of the contention, it is urged, that no investigation was made of any interest in the property other than that of Mrs. Schierholz-none of Wesche, or none determined beyond what was shown by the report of and letter of the Commercial Trust Company. And there is also a contention that Wesche was not an enemy, and that he was given no opportunity of review, and the act, as to him, was 'unconstitutional and without due process of law' and that, consequently, surrender of the property by appellant (Trust Company) under such circumstances to the Custodian, would have afforded it no defense to the claim of Wesche for such part of the property as belonged to him. The appellant accordingly did not transfer or deliver the property as so demanded, and still retains it under supersedeas bond. The contentions are precluded by the cases which we have cited. As there decided, the act was of peremptory quality and effect. The suit was tantamount to physical seizure-gave preliminary custody such as seizure gives, and was intended to be not 'less immediately effective than a taking with a strong hand.' It is manifest, therefore, that the defenses upon which the contentions are based were not available to either claimant of the property. And besides, under the act, it is to be remembered, the Custodian succeeds to all the rights in the property to which the enemy is entitled as completely as if by conveyance, transfer or assignment, and the Trust Company in the present case held the bonds for the joint account of Wesche and Mrs. Schierholz to be paid over to either of them. She had the power, therefore, to demand the bonds and receive them and to this power the Custodian determined he succeeded, and, therefore, exercised. What interest Wesche had or has does not require decision, nor can the Trust Company urge it, the act requiring submission to the determination of the Custodian. The case, therefore, has no complexity and we do not think it is necessary to trace through the elaborate argument of counsel by which he attempts to sustain the contention of the Trust Company. Its foundation is, as said by the Circuit Court of Appeals, that the Trust Company 'claims the right to have property interests judicially determined by a court of equity before a right to the possession of the property can be asserted by the Alien Property Custodian.' The claim is precluded, we have seen, by Central Union Trust Co. v. Garvan, and Stoehr v. Wallace, Supra. Those cases decide, as we have also seen, that the suit is as of peremptory character as 'seizure in pais' and is the dictate and provision for the emergency of war, not to be defeated or delayed by defenses; its only condition, therefore, being the determination by the Alien Property Custodian that it was enemy property. It was recognized that there is impl cation in the act that mistakes may be made, but it, the act, assumes 'that the transfer will take place whether right or wrong.' In other words, it is the view of the opinions that the act provides for an exercise of government, but also provides, as we have said, redress for mistakes in its exercise by the claimant of the property filing a claim under section 9 (Comp. St. 1918, Comp. St. Ann. Supp. 1919, § 3115 1/2 e), which, if not yielded to, may be enforced by suit. The next contention of the Trust Company is that, the act being a provision for the emergency of war, is ceased with the cessation of war, ceased with the joint resolution of Congress declaring the state of war between Germany and the United States at an end, and its approval by the President, July 2, 1921 (42 Stat. 105), and the proclamation of peace by the President August 25, 1921. The contention, however, encounters in opposition the view that the power which declared the necessity is the power to declare its cessation, and what the cessation requires. The power is legislative. A court cannot estimate the effects of a great war and pronounce their termination at a particular moment of time, and that its consequences are so far swallowed up that legislation addressed to its emergency had ceased to have purpose or operation with the cessation of the conflicts in the field. Many problems would yet remain for consideration and solution, and such was the judgment of Congress, for it reserved from its legislation the Trading with the Enemy Act and amendments thereto, and provided that all property subject to that act shall be retained by the United States 'until such time as the Imperial German government <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> shall have <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> <nowiki>*</nowiki> made suitable provision for the satisfaction of all claims.' Section 5. See Kahn v. Anderson, [[255 U.S. 1]], 41 Sup. Ct. 224, 65 L. Ed. 469, and Vincenti v. United States (C. C. A.) 272 Fed. 114, and [[256 U.S. 700]], 41 Sup. Ct. 538, 65 L. Ed. 1178.

To their minds the word “warrant,” or, at least, a word equally importing an express undertaking, was as essential in a warranty as the words of promise were in the Roman ''stipulatio''. The modern doctrine of implied warranty, as stated by Mr. Baron Parke in Barr ''v.'' Gibson,<ref>3 M. & W. 390.</ref> “But the bargain and sale of a chattel, as being of a particular description, does imply a contract that the article sold is of that description,” would have sounded as strangely in the ears of the early lawyers as their archaic doctrine sounds in ours. The warranty of title stood anciently upon the same footing as the warranty of quality.<ref>Co. Lit., 102 2; Springwell ''v.'' Allen (1649) Al. 91, 2 East, 448, n. (a.), s. c.</ref> But in Lord Holt’s time an affirmation was equivalent to a warranty,<ref>Crosse ''v.'' Gardner, 3 Mod. 261; 1 Show. 65, s. c.; Medina ''v.'' Stoughton, 1 Ld. Ray. 593, 1 Salk. 210, s. c.</ref> and to-day a warranty of title is commonly implied from the mere fact of selling.<ref>Eichholtz ''v.'' Bannister, 17 C. B. {{asc|N. S.}} 708; Benj. Sale (3 ed.), 620–631.</ref> However much the actions against a surgeon or carpenter for misfeasance, those against a bailee for negligent custody, and, above all, those against a vendor for a false warranty, may have contributed, indirectly, to the introduction of special assumpsit, there is yet a fourth class of cases which seem to have been more intimately connected with the development of the modern parol contract than any of those yet considered. These cases were, also, like the actions for a false warranty, actions on the case for deceit. That their significance may be fully appreciated, however, it will be well to give first a short account of the successive attempts to maintain an action for the simple breach of a naked parol promise, ''i. e.'', for a pure nonfeasance. The earliest of these attempts was in 1400, when an action was brought against a carpenter for a breach of his undertaking to build a house. The court was unanimous against the plaintiff, since he counted on a promise, and showed no specialty.<ref>Y. B. 2 H. IV. 3, pl. 9.</ref> In the same reign there was a similar case with the same result.<ref>Y. B. 11 H. IV. 33, pl. 60. See, also, 7 H. VI. 1, pl. 3.</ref> The harmony of judicial opinion was somewhat interrupted fifteen years later in a case against a millwright on a breach of promise to build a mill within a certain time.

I think folk-lorists will look upon it as an axiom that kings could not inaugurate such a ceremony as that at Alnwick, which must have had some more powerful creator than the worst of English kings; and they will bear in mind that, on the coast of Ireland, is another water ceremony, where the victim is not a prospective freeman of a municipal corporation. Our point is, then, that survivals want accounting for, and, whatever may ultimately prove their proper place in the history of our race, no society is better able to account for them than this, no science better able to cope with the questions at issue than folk-lore; and I cannot help expressing an earnest hope that we shall now be able to attract to our standard men whose interest in folk-lore does not lie outside institutions—that we shall be able, by our methods and by our aims, to show that we occupy a place among the learned societies occupied by no other body, and which sadly needs being adequately filled. In India there is a society specially established for the study of institutions, and it has been called by the honored name of Sir Henry Maine; in England the Folk-lore Society nominally occupies the ground. But if it does not soon actually occupy it by paying attention to these subjects, some other organisation will step in to do its work. What, then, it appears to me we have now to do is to steadily look our position in the face—ascertain our requirements, and organise to meet every emergency. Our study embraces all that is traditional in its origin—folk- tales, hero-tales, legends, superstitions, usages, customs, and institutions. Every branch must be assisted ; every student seeking our aid must be welcomed and assisted; every member must consider what folk-lore has become under the auspices of this society, and must be a specialist only to enable him to contribute to the general stock of knowledge.

I have left myself but little time to consider our work during the past session, and yet there is much to consider. We have had papers before us on— 1. ''Descriptive Folk-lore:'' "Folk-lore of Malagasy Birds," by the Rev. [[Author:James Sibree|James Sibree]]. "Notes on Manx Folk-lore," two papers, by Professor Rhys. "Guardian Spirits of Wells and Lochs," by Rev. [[Author:Walter Gregor|Walter Gregor]]. "Notes on South African Folk-lore," by Rev. [[Author:James MacDonald|James MacDonald]]. "Relic of Samaritan Folk-lore," by Dr. Lowy. 2. ''Contributive Folk-lore:'' "Recent Theories about King Arthur," and the "Lai of Eliduc," two papers, by [[Author:Alfred Nutt|Alfred Nutt]]. "Childe Rowland," by [[Author:Joseph Jacobs|Joseph Jacobs]]. "Notes on English Folk-drama," by [[Author:T. Fairman Ordish|T. Fairman Ordish]]. It will be seen that the section of what I have termed Descriptive Folk-lore is the fullest in point of results; and I am glad it is so. Mr. Sibree has always been a generous contributor to our archives from a land which is particularly interesting, and the minute details he was able to throw upon Malagasy totemism is a really important contribution to knowledge, as I think it takes the Malagasy peoples out of the category of the non-totem races.

Mr. Walter Gregor again sends us up a contribution of great value from his own home. In the Contributive section we have two masterly papers by Mr. Nutt, and one by Mr. Jacobs; and the latter must pardon my congratulating him on his attainment, on this occasion, of true folk-lore methods. Mr. Ordish's paper is, I believe, his first study presented to the Society, and it opened up a subject which has been quite neglected by us, and which is capable of yielding splendid results, for the dramatic influences of primitive usage are very great. A word or two more in conclusion. No doubt my scheme of work is ambitious—perhaps, indeed, too ambitious to realise. But I am not the one to shrink from a task, however gigantic, if the possibility of good results looms in the distance. And, moreover, the existence of such a scheme as a working-plan is of great value, because it not only supplies us, as it were, with the necessary pigeon-holes wherein to place all contributions received, but it suggests, and perhaps forms, a habit of research among workers in one common direction. I therefore put forward an urgent appeal to the Society to help me in having these things done. I am willing to do all that lies in me to do, and I ask you, by virtue of the office you have elected me to, to bid me organise bands of willing workers—men and women—who will set about collecting the fragments yet to be discovered, and will read through books, and copy out each item found therein, sending all their discoveries up to a central bureau, and doing it all persistently and faithfully as workers in a common scientific cause. If I have your mandate to-night to attempt such an organisation as I can, in my mental vision, see before me; if I can succeed in imparting to any of you the great necessity there is for our Society to still lead the way as first among folk-lore societies; if I can put into the feeble words at my limited command some indications of the importance of deliberate work by us all in collective<noinclude><references/></noinclude> g691e704ys4l7dpnewop0mm2rc1ygar Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

Give me, then, I pray you, the mandate I ask at your hands; signalise my personally weak presidency by making it scientifically strong. Ladies and gentlemen, in the land of Eutopia—as in that London which Mr. Morris has dreamed about in his beautiful dreams—all things are done for love. We folk-lorists do things for love of folk-lore, and we find each other thinking good things of each other, and saying what capital people we all are. But outside the charmed band exists a hard and cruel world, who pretend to say that they cannot live upon love, even upon the love that folk-lore produces for the human species. That outside world demands money—money for postages, for travelling, for printing, and for that awfully portentous item, "miscellaneous." Therefore, it behoves folk-lorists—or, at least, the Folk-lore Society collectively—to possess a banker, a treasurer, and a cash balance. I believe if we do good work we shall soon possess the inestimable blessing of a good cash balance. It is hopeless to expect that a cash balance and a satisfied treasurer will precede good work—it is putting the cart before the horse. The Council, as you have heard in the Report, is attempting much, and I am happy to say that two volunteers already, without any suggestion but their own desires, have asked me to give them some work to do, and they must pardon me if I mention their names—Miss Dendy and Miss Richardson. A suggestion I have to make is that the Council should place some of its accumulation of work into the hands of small committees of members, not on the Council, perhaps presided over by a member of the Council; and I would<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 20kft73cm7eorxp4e8fmzbvgyrh69ek Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

But whether or not this particular method be the best to adopt—and perhaps we may presently have an expression of opinion on the subject—I can assure the two volunteers, and those who may hereafter offer their aid, that they shall not long remain idle. I have wearied you, I fear, with overmuch detail—overmuch straining at points which, to some, may be so obvious as not to need even a passing mention in a presidential address, and an over-ambitious scheme of requirements. My justification will, I hope, be found in the new progress which the Society will make this coming year; and if you will withhold your censures, I am willing to defer receiving any acknowledgments until, at the expiration of my year's term of office, my successor will sit in judgment and tell you whether my view of the case was appropriate to the present position of the Folk-lore Society. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:G.

But even if we admit this, and further call to mind Alexander's expedition and the intercourse between East and West that followed it—all between the date of Herodotus and that of Pausanias—yet so different is the form of the legend from any known Indian variant, and so curious are the details which link it to Ophitea, that it would require M. Cosquin's powerful spectacles to induce us to see the mint-mark of the Buddhist workshop upon it. I conclude, therefore, that whether or not the story issued in all its forms from a single factory, there were versions known in Europe—at least there was one version—independent of the literary current through which the apologue is generally traced; and before the inquiries on the subject are closed some consideration must be given to the spread of this traditional version and to its possible influence on the literary versions. The chief feature of Dr. Murko's essay on the ''History of the Seven Wise Masters among the Slavs'' is his full account of a newly discovered Bohemian version and of the various Russian texts. The edition of Basile's work, of which the first volume has appeared during the past year, is a careful and beautiful reprint, with foot-notes explaining the most difficult words in dialect, of the editions of 1634-6, which were printed from his own manuscripts. Some historical notes are added; and an Introduction is prefixed, containing a biography, accompanied by illustrative documents, and a discussion of ''The Tale of Tales'' as a literary work, and of its relation to comparative storiology. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:E.

They feel, however, that the members of the Society will not disapprove of this when they consider with what great success the Congress was conducted; and that the Congress has done more than anything else in England to draw public attention to the aims of the Society and the attention of scholars to the good work done, and to be done, by the Society. So important an event in the history of Folk-lore indeed does the Congress appear to be, that the Council, immediately after its termination, considered that the time had arrived for a new departure, and that, in order to allow the Society fuller scope, its executive must, to some extent at any rate, be reorganised. With this object in view, the Council are considering the best means of securing in London a permanent habitation, of forming a library, and, if possible, a museum of folk-lore objects, and of constituting in each of the counties or districts of the United Kingdom some form of local organisation. These objects must be recognised by all as important for the collection of materials of folk-lore, and every effort will be made to secure their being carried out at no great distance of time.

"The word ''sikìdy'' (probably from the Arabic ''sichr'', 'charm, incantation') has been generally translated 'divination', but it has a somewhat wider sense, as it includes both the investigation of what is secret, and the art of finding out the remedy for it, if it proves to be of such a nature that a remedy is required; but the second depends on the first. There are three kinds of ''sikìdy'' which are employed almost exclusively in finding out what is secret: while the other kinds have more to do with remedying the evils. The first class, however, forms the ''sikìdy par excellence'', manipulated according to a rather intricate system; the second class depends upon it, and seems to be of a somewhat more arbitrary character." Before proceeding further, a word or two must be said as to the Malagasy notions of ''vìntana'' or fate, as the practice of the ''sikìdy'' largely depends on these beliefs. The word ''vìntana'' Mr. Dahle believes to be an obsolete collateral form of the Malagasy word ''kìntana'', "a star" (Malayan ''bintang''), and, in its restricted meaning, denotes the destiny of a man as depending on the times as declared by the stars at the time of birth, and also the fitness (or the reverse) of certain times for certain actions (''e.g''., for a burial). The first of these was the ''vìntana'' proper; the second was more accurately styled ''San-àndro'' (literally, "the hours of the day", from the Arabic ''sda'', "hour", but also used in a wider sense of "any moment". As might be inferred from its name (if the above explanation of it be correct), the ''vìntana'' in its turn rests upon astrology. The different days of the month, and the months throughout the year, are each supposed to be connected with different constellations. In previous articles in the ''Antanànarìvo Annual'' Mr. Dahle had shown that the native names of the months are all Arabic in origin, and are not, as might have been supposed, the Arabic names for the months, but the names of the twelve Signs of the Zodiac; while the names<noinclude><references/></noinclude> q9vrmpgg23mln4oob1g35w5iy65luzn Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

They were as follows:— ''Hova Names.'' ''Sàkalàva.'' ''Arabs of E. Africa.'' {{table missing}} 1. Jamà (or Zomà) Asombòla Asombòla 2. Alàhizàny Alizàha Alahòty 3. Asòralàhy Asòralàhy Alasàdy 4.

The next eight are formed by placing twos and ones in various combinations. The theory of the whole is evidently that not more than eight beans can be used in any figure, and that all of the figures must contain four in length (or height), while there may be two or one in breadth.

III.—{{The Sixteen Columns of the Sikidy}} (literally, "The Sixteen Mothers of Sikìdy"). To the sixteen figures, or various combinations of the beans or seeds by ones and twos in the ''sikìdy'', correspond the sixteen columns (called by Mr. Dahle "rubrics"), places, or rows, in which they are arranged in working the oracle; one figure being placed in each column, not, however, that all the figures must necessarily occur. The same figure may occur more than once, and some of the sixteen figures may not occur at all in the sixteen columns, as that is purely a matter of chance.

If two are left, he puts two beans, if one, one bean, into the first or upper square of ''Talé''.

If we, for instance, compare ''Talé'' and ''Harèna'', from which ''Làlana'' is to be formed, we get dissimilar numbers all the way, as all the pairs of squares have one and two, and consequently ''Làlana'' gets only one bean in all its squares. Exactly the same procedure—''mutatis mutandis''—takes place in the filling in of the remaining seven columns below. V.—{{sc|The Working of the Sikidy.}}—When the ''sikìdy'' is "erected" or arranged in the manner just described, the question arises: What is to be done with it? How to work it so as to get an answer to your questions, a medicine for your sickness, or a charm against the evils of which you may be apprehensive, etc.? Let it be remarked at the outset, that the ''sikìdy'' properly deals with ''questions'' put to it. To answer these is its proper function. But if you ask what is the root of an evil, or the means of removing or averting it, etc., the answer will of course point out to you the cure of your evils, as well, and so far, appear as ''ars medica''. There are, however, kinds of ''sikìdy'' in which no question is put, but the remedy for the evil is prescribed at once. But as these are rather different from the ordinary ''sikìdy''-process, they will be noticed in a separate section. What concerns us now is,<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 4hf86288glhnatcdlw8qi1p7ay9le5c Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

The first thing to be done, after having "erected the ''sikìdy,''" is to see what figure we have got in the column named ''Andrìamànitra'' (God); for, out of the sixteen figures, only half of them (Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14) are considered to "agree" with ''Andrìamàntra''. These are called the "Nobles" or "Kings" of the ''sikìdy'', whereas the remaining eight are called its "Slaves". If any of these latter figures happen to get into the said column, the ''sikìdy'' becomes invalid, and the whole has to be broken up and commenced anew; for the ''sikìdy'' has not done proper honour to God in putting a slave in His column, and cannot be expected to tell the truth in His name. This point, however, being successfully arranged, the next business is to choose one of the ''four'' first columns (''Talé—Vòhitra'') to represent the question, or, rather, the person or thing it refers to. As ''Talé'' is to represent everything that cannot be put under the headings "property", "relations", or " village", the choice cannot be very puzzling; but this being settled, the proceedings branch out into the following parts, which Mr. Dahle terms: ({{sc|a}}) The ''Sikìdy'' of Identical Figures; ({{sc|b}}) The ''Sikìdy'' of Different Figures; and ({{sc|c}}) The ''Sikìdy'' of Combined Figures. A.—''The Sikìdy of Identical Figures.''—Having settled which of the four first columns is to represent the question, the next thing is to examine which of the sixteen figures happens to be in the column representing it. This being found, we go on examining all the other figures except the others of the first four (for these have nothing to do with the answer), that is to say, those on the right side, those on the left, and those on the two corners to the left. If we, thus examining them, find that any of them is like the one representing the inquiry, this may or may not settle the question, or, in other words, give us the answer. This depends on the nature (name) of the column in which it is found. This Mr. Dahle illustrates thus: "If I expect<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 7q69w83x2593nz5trzf2oer5z6tkj9t Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

If in this column I find, for instance, the figure ''Jamà'' ({{symbol missing}}), and on further examination find the same figure in the column ''Tràno'' (house), this gives me no answer, as there is no natural connection between the two conceptions. If, on the contrary, I find the same figure in the column called ''Làlana'' (road), then of course I know that the ship is at any rate ''on the way''. I have then got an answer to the chief question; but there may still be good reasons for a sharp look-out, for there may be difficulties in its way. Suppose that I also find the same figure in the column named ''Fàhavàlo'' (enemy), my mind will immediately be filled with gloomy apprehensions of ''pirates!'' Not a bit more cheerful will be my prospects if I find the same figure under ''Ra bé mandriaka'' (much bloodshed). But what a consolation, on the other hand, if the same figure reappears in the column ''Nìa'' (food); for then I must certainly be a blockhead if I do not understand that, although the ship may have a long voyage, there is no scarcity of food on board; and so on. It is easy enough to see that a man with much practice and a good deal of imagination could produce much 'information' in this manner; and I suppose that in a good many cases the ''mpisikìdy'' were able to find an answer already in this first act of their proceedings, even if the means of finding it might seem scanty enough to ordinary mortals." But there is much more still that may be done; for, besides the answers available from the fact of the identity of the figure representing the question with one or more of those in the other columns, it is of great importance to find out whether any two or more of the other figures are alike, and in how many columns the same figure occurs in a ''sikìdy''. The detailed particulars given by Mr. Dahle on this point may be put for the sake of brevity into a tabular form: {{nop}}<noinclude><references/></noinclude> cp21faoxrwxh5op9mkms9biuokowmde Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

If he came on Thursday, his trouble was almost sure to be attributed to some slave, or he was warned to beware of his slaves, lest they should murder or bewitch him.

Miss E. Canziani exhibited, and presented to the Society, a pipe with a bowl carved in the shape of a man's head and a long cherrywood stem, brought by her from Savoy. The Chairman referred to the death of Mr. W. G.

But there was a lame devil among these forty, and this one said to the young man,—"Cousin, take a pitcher, take a comb, take a razor, and you and I will go after it together." Then they go off together. They go until they reach the place where the Water-melon of Immortality grows. Then the lame devil says,—"Cousin, come here." He goes there, and the devil cuts off a Water-melon from the stalk, and loads it upon the horse, and says,—"Now, you go along, and I will follow directly." The devil sets his sound foot in the path, but, try as he may, he cannot drag his lame foot through the hedge. The other fifty devils awake, and they are upon him in no time. The lame devil cries,—"Cousin, throw down the pitcher." He throws it down, and land and rock turn to water. By the time they cross the water and are almost upon him again, he cries,—"Cousin, throw down the comb!" He throws it down, and it becomes a thicket.

While the man is asleep that night, the old woman rises, and taking the Water-melon of Immortality puts another in its place. In the morning, the young man takes the Water-melon to his mother.

The goblin says, — " Wallah, your son is a strong man ! Wherever we send him he comes back. I don't know where else to send him." " Then I'll tell my son to kill you," cries the mother angrily. In the evening the son comes, and the mother says, — " Come, lay your head upon my lap and go to sleep, my son." The son goes to sleep on his mother's knees. The son has three marked hairs in his head. The mother twists them around her hand, and pulls them out. The son dies. Then the mother says ta the goblin, — " Come draw your sword and cut off his head." " I won't come," said the goblin. " My hand will not cut off that lad's head." Then the mother rises and takes the sword, and cuts the lad to pieces. She casts the little finger under the wall. She stuffs the bits into a haircloth sack, and sets it aside. The lion-cubs wake up. They come and take the sack, and carry it to the house of the old woman. The old woman fits the bones together, and also the pieces of flesh, sets the head on the body, and only the little finger is lacking. The lion-cubs return and find the little finger also, and carry it to the old woman, and she fastens it in its place. Then she pours lion's milk over the young man. He becomes whole, like one new born. She gives him the Water-melon of Immortality to smell, and he sneezes. She pours the Water of Life over him, and he comes to life and arises. He asks the old woman, — "What happened to me, little mother ? " She replies, — " Why, my son, your mother killed you." "Then how did I come to life?" he asks. Then the old woman says, — " When you brought the lion's milk, I kept it, and I gave you some other milk to take to your mother. I did the same with the Water-melon of Immortality,, and the Water of Life. Your mother had killed you, and stuffed you into a haircloth sack. The lion-cubs brought the sack.

In the first place he is always courteous, and even generous; in the second he has carefully studied his subject; and in the third he is obviously anxious, not to confute an opponent, but to arrive at the truth. His article, "Lord Avebury on Marriage, Totemism, and Religion," is no exception. ''Marriage.''—The first question to which Mr. Lang refers is that of Marriage. He believes that "Man began with individual families," whereas I have suggested that he commenced under what, for want of a better term, I have called "Communal Marriage." Hearne tells us that among the Hudson Bay Indians "it has ever been the custom {{...}} for the men to wrestle for any woman to whom they are attached; and, of course, the strongest party always carries off the prize."<ref>[[Author:S. Hearne|S. Hearne]], ''A Journey from the Prince of Wales's Fort etc.'' (1795), p. 104.</ref> Richardson confirms this as regards the Copper Indians. He "more than once saw a stronger man assert his right to take the wife of a weaker countryman. Anyone may challenge another to wrestle, and, if he overcomes, may carry off the wife as a prize."<ref>Richardson, ''Boat Journey'', vol. ii., p. 24.</ref> In these cases a man is living with a woman: another man, No. 2, knocks down No. 1, and carries off the woman.

Can the result be called a true marriage? Surely not. Mr. Lang refers to the case of the Gorilla, where each male lives for a time with a female in solitary state.<ref>He points out an important omission in a quotation from Mr. Darwin which I much regret. My copyist is generally very correct, and unfortunately I omitted to notice the error. It does not, indeed, affect my argument, but makes my difference from Mr. Darwin greater than would otherwise appear. I cannot, of course, put my opinion against Darwin's, but I am disposed to think that, if he had had before him the evidence which has since accumulated, he might have modified his views.</ref> I feel great difficulty in understanding how under a solitary life any progress could be made; and have suggested the habits of the social Quadrumana, which live in often large troops, comprising several males, as probably more nearly resembling those of our ancestors. I cannot, however, ask the Editor to find room for the evidence which I have brought forward in ''The Origin of Civilisation'' and in ''Marriage, Totemism, and Religion''. ''Origin of Marriage.''—If, then, there was a time when the institution of marriage did not exist, how did it originate? I have suggested that, if a man captured a woman from another tribe, he acquired a recognised right of possession. But, says Mr. Lang, how could this apply to marriage within the tribe? "When men took to capturing women within their own tribe, the tribe would be broken up by internal blood-feuds. A tribe which practised, as a rule, capture of brides within the tribe would be weakened by internal dispeace." Mr. Lang has referred to one or two cases in which I have overlooked passages of his. In this case he does not notice that, as long ago as 1866, I anticipated and answered, or attempted to answer, this objection. I referred<ref>''The Origin of Civilisation etc.'', pp. 130 ''et seq''.</ref> to the numerous cases of what I called "expiation for marriage," in which the prior rights of the tribe were admitted and redeemed, before the marriage was recognised. When such arrangements were amicably made, the final ceremony was very generally a mock marriage by capture. This symbol of marriage by capture is very widely distributed.

Leochain, who was slain in 1024. The King of Cashel (over-king, therefore, of North Munster) was forbidden to pass a night at Latteragh in northern Tipperary at the beginning of harvest ; to encamp for nine consecutive nights at the river Suir ; to hold a border meeting at Gowran ; and to listen to the groans of women (in a raid) in southern Tipperary. The King of Connacht was not to go in a speckled cloak, — the prose adds " on a piebald horse," — to the heath of Luchaid in Clare. On the other hand, the ruler of Cashel brought good luck by plundering cattle in Connacht while the cuckoo sings ; burning north Leinster ; passing over Sliabh Cua, — "on a Tuesday," says the prose, — to pacify south Munster; crossing Magh Ailbhe with a light grey host; and rest- ing six weeks (of Lent) every year at Cashel. It was most unlucky for him to wait for a feast at Killarney Lake for a full week from a Monday. At the present day some families still have their own tabus, lucky and lucky deeds and days, dreams, and omens, which sometimes even run counter to beliefs generally received, — e.g. that the Friday falling on the thirteenth of any month, or to dream of a wild cat or other wild animal, is lucky.

As he had no heirs all his goods and property, except enough to pay his funeral expenses, were heaped upon the body. A native brickmaker and bricklayer had an order for 3000 bricks to build a vault and floor the grave. The flooring is intended to avert the sinking of the body into the earth, which is thought to have happened when the earth sinks on a grave. Makitu, chief of the district around Wathen, died and was buried in 1898. His coffin rested on three pieces of ivory cut from a tusk which he had saved for years for this purpose. One loaded gun was buried with him, so that, when he arrived in the "spirit forest," he could shoot the spirit of the ''ndoki'' (witch) who had brought him to his death. They intended to bury two women and one man alive in his grave, but this was prevented by missionaries; it is still uncertain, nevertheless, whether one woman, who was missed about the time of the funeral, was not actually buried with the corpse. As regards ivory put in a grave, it is the native belief that only the ''evuvu'', or shell, is left of it. If any person removed the ivory and succeeded in selling it, he would be alleged to be a witch, since he was able to convert the ''evuvu'' into real ivory. Similarly, if a person took a plate or a bottle from a grave and was able to use it, this would be regarded as an undeniable proof that he was a witch. Such a thief would in the old days have been killed, and his or her blood poured on the grave to appease the robbed and wrathful spirit. ''Compensation to family for deaths.''—A man living at Nkondo, a village near Wathen, was very ill, near to death in fact, and did not desire to leave his property (trade goods, guns, gunpowder, etc.) to his relatives. So he made up his mind to burn down the house containing the goods. He waited for an opportunity, and one night, when five persons,—three adults and two children,—were sleeping in the house, he locked the door, set fire to the structure, and rolled himself in his blankets to await death. Only one man escaped. The family of the two children demanded, and received, compensation for their death from the suicide's family. ''Sacrifices on graves.''—In olden times slaves were killed, and their blood poured on the grave of their master.

The officer wanted the band's ivory trumpets, and attempted to take them by force. The people resisted, and tied him up. Some desired to kill him and pour his blood over the new grave, but, fortunately for him, others would not agree to this. As a compromise, they shaved off his hair, eyebrows, and beard, and let him go. He never knew how narrowly he had escaped sacrifice on a native chief's grave. ''Future life and abode.''—The sun was the place of punishment for bad people. When natives want to punish a child they put it out in the strong sun, and men and women were often tied in the scorching sunshine as a penalty for wrong-doing. The moon was supposed to be the place where good people talked (''moka'') with God. They believed that after death there was a ''mavambu ma njila'', or dividing of the roads, one road leading to the sun, and the other to the moon. The bad people always went the former road, and the good people the latter one. When they see a halo round the sun, they say the ''mbaji a nkanu'', or judgment court, is being held there, and the punishment is being confirmed (''sikidiszva''). When a circle is seen round the moon, the ''mbaji a nkanu'' is being held there, and the reward is being confirmed to the good, so that the family which buries a relative about that time is very happy.<ref>Vol. xx., p. 59.</ref> There is a native proverb that indicates that punishment in the sun does not kill:—"The bad are tormented like a locust on burning grass. It wants to die but cannot die; it wants to be saved, but cannot be saved." This figure of speech is taken from seeing the locusts, when the bush is burning, jumping from stem to stem of the grass in the smoke. It will be observed that the sun and moon theory as to the places of punishment and reward is opposed to their belief concerning the great spirit town in the forest so fully described in a previous paper. I am inclined to think that the sun and moon theory may be a corruption of the old Roman Catholic teaching on purgatory etc., and that the spirit town in the forest<ref>Vol. xx., p. 55.</ref> is the original native belief. Sometimes a curious mixture of both ideas will be found. For example, if there is, as often happens, no halo round either<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> bo0p4q48e2zz78t94xq54es72mzihiv Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

It is about half an inch long, and its bite is said to be deadly, killing almost instantaneously. In the course of the excavations of the British School in the spring of 1911, two were met with, causing on each occasion great excitement. After pickaxes and shovels had done their worst, there remained, unfortunately, so little of the creature that it was impossible to examine a specimen. ''"Forty" as place-name.''—In many parts of Greece, (and I believe that the same is true of Turkey), the place-name "Saranda" (Forty) is to be met with. "Forty whats?" you ask, and are told,—"The name is just Forty." Now, in Greek and Turkish folk-tales {{greek missing}} (''dhraki'')—(not 'dragons,' by the way, but 'ogres'; I have noticed that some European folklorists have been misled by Hahn's translation ''Drache''),—''devs'', and robbers live in gangs of forty, and the castle of the forty ''devs'', robbers, or {{greek missing}}, is a very common feature of many of the tales. When travelling through the Cnidian peninsula with Mr. Dawkins in January, 1911, we came to a large, round tomb built of squared stones about two and a half hours' journey east of Knidos. On enquiry we learned that the place was called ''Saranda''. It occurred to me that here was a possible explanation of the name. The tomb was the castle of the forty robbers or ''devs''. The suspicion is partially confirmed by a reference I found subsequently in ''Traditions populaires de l'Asie Mineure, par'' [[Author:E. Henry Carnoy|E. Henry Carnoy]] ''et'' [[Author:Jean Nicolaides|Jean Nicolaides]], (''Les Litératures Populaires de toutes les Nations'', vol. xxviii., p. 357), where tradition definitely states that the "Caves of the Forty" near Judje Su in Cappadocia are so called for the reason which I suggest is the explanation of the frequent occurrence elsewhere of ''Saranda'' as a place name. {{nop}}<section end="s2" /><noinclude><references/></noinclude> okx9uopzut1xq4qb7scb25tem5vhdn0 Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

On the one side, it is a summary of Aristotle's writings on natural science, which for many centuries greatly influenced scholars and the Church, and through them popular belief. On the other side, the writings contain much that is evidently not the result of personal investigations, but a record of what was told him by hunters and fishermen, and hence often ancient folklore.

The large collection of folklore made, (to speak only of comparatively recent work), in Scotland by [[Author:J. G. Campbell|J. G.

Carmichael]] in his collection of Gaelic charms and poems, in Ireland by Curtin, Wood-Martin, and Lady Wilde, and in Wales by Sir [[Author:John Rhŷs|John Rhŷs]]; the similar work of Le Braz, Sébillot, and Luzel in Brittany; and the studies made by Alex. Bertrand, S. Reinach, Dottin, and Gaidoz in the religion of the ancient Gauls in France, awaited co-ordination for the general reader. Probably the work of bringing together and arranging a portion of this accumulated material could not have fallen into better hands than Mr. MacCulloch's. His articles in Hastings' ''Encyclopædia of Religion and Ethics'' had carried him over a large part of the field, and his industry and sense of proportion have enabled him to compile out of the mass of material a useful and comprehensive book. It may be doubted whether we shall eventually be satisfied with any co-ordination which takes so much racial identity for granted as the throwing together of material from so many different sources implies; we shall certainly not eventually be satisfied with any survey which places in juxtaposition rites and customs derived from peoples in such various stages of cultural development as, for instance, the Gaul of<section end="s2" /><noinclude><references/></noinclude> 06q7yqezgx4975thpev2on91o3ok1fj Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

The retentiveness of the 'Celt,' using the word in the vague general sense in which it is employed by our author, is, indeed, remarkable; but even the Celt has gone through modifications by his contact with other races, the near approach of classical and oriental influences in Southern Gaul in the early centuries of our era, especially, having profoundly modified the prevalent beliefs; and it cannot be too often emphasised that to adopt a dictum of any Roman writer, even of so acute an observer as Caesar, on the religious beliefs of Gaul, and to apply it to the 'Celt' of early Ireland or Wales, is dangerous in the extreme. Even as applying to the district to which it directly refers, caution is necessary, for we are dealing with the verdict of foreigners, by whom the language, habits, and ideas of the people among whom they came as conquerors or travellers were only partially understood. It is only in the meantime, and with deductions, that any such general treatment and illustration of the religion of one country by the beliefs and customs of another can apply; but for the moment it is useful to have a survey of this kind, so long as we bear in mind that the illustrations are taken from peoples in different stages of civilization. Our sources for a knowledge of 'Celtic' beliefs are, indeed, various; mere hints from monuments, writings, and folk-beliefs have to be built up into a sort of system. As the author says, "We try to rebuild Celtic paganism and to guess at its inner spirit, though we are working in the twilight on a heap of fragments. No Celt has left us a record of his faith and practice, and the unwritten poems of the Druids died with them. Yet from these fragments we see the Celt as the seeker after God, linking himself by strong ties to the unseen, and eager to conquer the unknown by religious rite or magic art. For the things of the spirit have never appealed in vain to the Celtic soul, and long ago classical observers were struck with the religiosity of the Celts" (p. 2). We are glad to find that the author of this book makes a healthy protest from time to time against the present tendency to dub many of the beliefs and practices of the Celtic peoples, even some of the institutions most closely bound up with their life and<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 85lxnc1vk988jfwjxgmau051qkpxfba Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

So long as our knowledge of what is and what is not Celtic is so slight as it is at present, such determinations must necessarily be of the nature of guess-work; they endeavour to decide off-hand, and without sufficient data, what the Celts held and what they did not. When we find stone-worship, tree-worship, totemism, the matriarchal system, and even a system so bound up with the whole social life of the Gaulish, the Irish, and the Welsh 'Celt' as the druidical system, relegated by different writers to the pre-Celtic races, we begin to wonder what is left for the Celt, among whom we find all these customs in full swing, to have developed as his own share in his own religion. Coming of an imaginative race, the chances are that he evolved some ideas for himself; though that he may have also incorporated others from the peoples he found existing in the countries to which he came as a settler, no one would without fuller knowledge venture to dispute. But the theory may carry us too far. The author's protest on p. 224-5 seems to us timely; and still more so when he comes (pp. 294-302) to discuss the Druids, and endeavour to reclaim them for the Celtic system. With all respect to the earlier races, about which we know almost nothing, it is difficult to see why a class associated with the religious practices of Gaul, Ireland, and Wales from the dawn of their history should not have grown up and been elaborated by themselves. It is the more likely that this was so, from the fact that we find the Druids occupying a different position and assuming different functions in early Ireland and in Gaul, their position among the more highly developed race being that of priest and teacher, while among the Irish Gaels it was rather that of medicine-man and wizard. Mr. MacCulloch has, however, fallen a victim to the modern cult of agricultural gods, and the sacrifice of animals and human beings to ensure fertility. We do not intend to dispute the point. There are signs that such a belief existed through a long period of Celtic primitive worship. But, when he proceeds further to discredit altogether the so-called 'solar theory,' and the suggestion that the great mythological figures of Celtic romance may have derived attributes from natural objects, and especially from the sun, we cannot follow him.

A single obscure dictum of Caesar is not sufficient to establish a permanent theory which is not supported by native warrant or tradition. The Irish kings and septs certainly traced their descent from the god or local deity worshipped by their tribe, or from some more universal divinity; but that they believed in an 'underworld from which they came and to which they went at death,' there is, I believe, nothing in the ancient literature to prove. If such a doctrine is given at all, it should be with extreme caution, as a hypothesis, not as a statement of fact. It is a pity to perpetuate a doubtful theory in a popular book. We sum up a few suggestions that occur to us. In his chapter on ''geasa'' or tabus, the author omits the tabus belonging to King Conchobhar, which are much the most instructive for his purpose. They will be found in the ''Book of Leinster'', fac. pp. 106, 33-197b, 16. On p. 232, he gives the reply of the Celts of Thrace to Alexander the Great (Strabo, Bk. vii, ch. iii, 8) as a hint of a belief in a final cataclysm. But it had no reference to the end of natural things, and was simply an expression, familiar to the Celt of Ireland as of Thrace, of courage and fearlessness. The only sign known to me of an ancient belief in a final catastrophe is in the use once in the ''Book of Armagh'' of the word ''erdathe'', which seems to be a native word applied to the day of doom; but, if such a pagan belief existed, it speedily became absorbed into the universal mediæval Christian doctrine of Doomsday. The examples given on p. 223 of unnatural unions are largely metaphorical of the union of different qualities, and cannot be taken as proving any state of society in which these conditions were generally practised; some of the practices referred to may, however, be surmised from other sources of information. To his examples of tree-worship, the author should add the very explicit and interesting example from the poem on Finn's sword in ''Duanaire Finn'' (Irish Texts Society, vol. vii) speaking of "Eitheor of the smooth brown face" who was called "Son of Hazel," because "this was the hazel that he worshipped" (pp. 36, 137). {{right|{{sc|[[Author:Eleanor Hull|Eleanor Hull]].}}}} {{rule|10em}}<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 3lclvnj5q5sp3eae5xigw8udpyem4y5 Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

By {{sc|Sir [[Author:Laurence Gomme|Laurence Gomme]]}}. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1912. Cr. 8vo, pp. 256. Ill.}} {{sc|When}} one takes up a book by Sir Laurence Gomme one is never in any doubt as to whether it is going to be interesting or not. Interesting it is quite certain to be, interesting and stimulating, full of apt illustrations drawn from his encyclopædic knowledge and shedding new light, often from quite unexpected angles, on the subject of which he is treating. The book under review is no exception; indeed, it is so full of topics of interest to antiquarians and folklorists that it is hard to give any adequate account of it within the limits of a review. Briefly, we are invited to consider how London developed and how her history explains the position which she occupies, and the privileges which she possesses or has possessed. That palæolithic man occupied the site where she stands we know from that classic implement which was found "opposite to Black Mary's, near Grayes Inn Lane," and from a number of other discoveries. That neolithic man was there we may assume, though we have no certain indications of any form of habitation attributable to him. With the bronze-using Celts who settled at the junction of the Fleet with the Thames, we begin to see the first traces of the future city in the pile-dwellings erected in that locality. London was "not only a defensive stronghold of the Celts, but, as the centre of a religious cult, possessed the full life of the Celtic tribesmen" (p. 49). Then came the Romans, and Celtic London was replaced by Roman London, which "must always be considered from the point of view of its position as a city of the Roman empire, not as a city of Britain" (p. 56). The city was dependent for its institutions and its greatness on Rome, and "its position has to be measured by these facts, and not by its geographical position in Britain." As a Roman city it had its ''territorium'', and over that area London citizenship has always possessed special rights. What is the next chapter in her history? What happened during that most obscure epoch of history which opens with the departure of the Roman Legions? Did she become a "waste Chester" like other Roman cities, or did she preserve some form of life, and, if so, what? {{nop}}<noinclude><references/></noinclude> lwnnigm345jlnwnusyqvyjq8mc11inl Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

Gomme has no doubt on this point. When London ceased to be a Roman city she did not continue as the capital city of a state; if she was anything she was a petty state herself (p. 77). As a small state, so to speak, and on Roman lines, she lived on during the period of the Saxon invasion and occupation. Yet she was able to keep the Danes from entering and occupying her walls, and to make them settle down without those defences. This was not done by Anglo-Saxon organisation, "and the only possible source for such an organization must have been the old Roman system kept up through these years of neglect" (p. 104). Roman London rose with such rapidity that historians have been at a loss to account for her progress. English London emerged so slowly from the mists of the Saxon period that historians have thought that the city for a time had ceased to exist. Sir Laurence explains the first difficulty by pointing out that London, like Winnipeg or Chicago, made extraordinary leaps and bounds of progress when she got the chance in Roman days, and that in later days she was left alone until the moment arrived when Aelfred's genius, recognising the supreme strategical value of her position, brought London into a position of national importance which she has ever since occupied. "Anglo-Saxon kings had ignored London, and London had carried on her existence in a sort of constitutional independence—an independence not granted to her as a matter of state policy, but created by her as a means of existence. Alfred broke into that independence by bringing London into definite relationship with English national life" (p. 95). Hence Stubbs' view that London sprang into life as a collection of communities is not correct. London herself, the city, according to this thesis preserved her own constitution, her own organization, and this was founded on and descended from the Roman organization when it was an empire city. But where, all this time, were the Anglo-Saxons? Their advance, by way of settlement, commenced at some distance from the city and in the lands surrounding it, and spread inwards, gradually approaching the walls of the city. Of this form of occupation Sir Laurence has much to say, and draws a most interesting picture of Park Lane,—of all places in the world!—when it was made up of acre-strips of cultivation, and<noinclude><references/></noinclude> h3hbam6eq8umf6kji862565b7ltx361 Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

The bull became the attendant of Siva, lord of fertility, the favourite object of Brahman worship, whose sacred marriage with the Earth goddess is periodically celebrated.

Thus the sacred marriage of the bull and cow is performed as a mimetic fertility charm at marriage, and at the death rites to strengthen the puny soul for its journey to the world of spirits. Lastly, the Muhammadan raids and the slaughter of the cow at the Idu-'l-azha festival must have tended to increase the devotion towards the animal. The Muhammadan chronicles tell many stories of deliberate cow slaughter in the lust of conquest, with a view to enforce the submission of the Hindus, or in revenge for their resistance.<ref>Sir. H.

At this stage of culture the kinship of man with the animal world, and particularly with the domesticated cattle of the tribe, was fully recognised; and, as is not uncommon with tribes in the pastoral or agricultural stage of culture, the kinsmen by the periodical sacrifice and ritualistic eating of the flesh of the sacred animal sought to gain communion with the divine. In later days, when the foreigner, an eater of beef, entered the land and became to some extent Hinduized, it became unnecessary for him to abandon his usual food, because its consumption had now acquired a local ritualistic sanction. We have seen that traces of this communal sacrifice may still be traced among the Kafirs, and particularly among the Todas, and that the rite is still performed in effigy by certain castes or tribes. Gradually, for reasons which are at present obscure, a feeling of humanitarianism spread through northern India, which resulted in the restriction of blood sacrifices and the sacramental eating of the victim. But the use of beef was not immediately discontinued among the imperfectly Hinduized foreigners, and still holds its ground among the menial and forest tribes. If this view be accepted, it supplies an interesting parallel to the theory of Professor Ridgeway,<ref>''The Early Age of Greece,'' vol. i., p. 524.</ref> that the flesh-roasting and flesh-eating AchǢans were a foreign tribe which migrated from northern Europe into Greece. The association of Buddhism with the Kshatriya or warrior group helps to furnish an explanation of the comparative indifference of the new faith towards the Brahman cult of the cow.

In the death struggle which orthodox Hinduism is now waging against the intrusive Western culture, the beliefs we have been considering will doubtless play a prominent part.

At the present time, however, there is the widest divergence of opinion as to the value of this kind of knowledge. By some workers such narratives are used as evidence without hesitation, while by others they are put wholly on one side as the pure fruit of imagination, having no relevance where facts are concerned. A striking example of this divergence of treatment is to be found in the utilisation of Arunta narratives by Messrs.

It is the purpose of this paper to formulate one such principle and inquire to what conclusions it may lead us. I must first say something about the sense in which I propose to use the term 'myth.' At the present time this word is used with many different meanings. By some it is limited to narratives which give an account of the doings of gods or of those who possess in some measure divine characters; to others a narrative is only a myth if it stands in a definite relation to ritual and serves to explain and justify this ritual; by others the term is used more widely, but is limited to narratives which give an account of or explain natural as opposed to social phenomena. In the present state of our knowledge the chief justification of classifications and definitions lies in their usefulness, and a classification which may be useful from one point of view may not necessarily be so from another. I approach the subject of myth in this paper in its relation to the history of culture, and from this point of view, if from no other, the limitations implied by the usages I have mentioned are neither helpful nor necessary. The general class of which myths form one group are narratives which give a concrete account of events. By thus laying stress on the concrete nature of "narratives" I intend to exclude the abstract accounts of events given by science. From the point of view of the history of culture the first grouping of narratives depends on whether they are or are not historical, whether they are records of events which have actually happened or the work of the human imagination. We can be confident that even those narratives of peoples of rude culture which come nearest to history contain imaginative elements, but this only makes it the task of the student to distinguish the two elements from one another. {{nop}}<noinclude><references/></noinclude> l048p3nc1qaxnc6rxibmj7796137oug Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

One Sunday he met a strange man, who asked him to make a suit of clothes, and the tailor whipped out his tape to measure. "Do you know who I am?" asked the stranger. "Yes, you're the Devil!" said the tailor; and then he was frightened and ran home. When he met his wife he fell down dead. They buried him at the Devil's Churchyard, and the stones were tombstones." The other version was told to my informant, a woman about 60, by her mother, a farmer's wife, as a warning against breaking the Sabbath:—"There was once a man who used to go nutting on Sundays. As he was going down Half-Mile Lane, that leads to the Devil's Churchyard, he stretched out his hand to a fine bunch of nuts, saying,—"Here goes one!" Then to another, saying,—"Here goes two!" And a ''black hand'' was stretched out from the other side of the hedge, and it grabbed the man, with "Here goes three!" in a terrible voice. So he died, and was buried at the Devil's Churchyard, for the black hand belonged to the Devil." The Devil's Churchyard is held to be a most uncanny spot; you are supposed to see men without heads there, (so one of my jobbing gardeners confessed), and dogs, and unknown horrors. A man who works on the roads told me that once he and a friend were poaching round there after midnight, and were terribly scared by "a noise like bagpipes." ''Menhirs.''—Two menhirs, "Cob Stone" and "Picked Stone," were destroyed on or near Minchinhampton Common, about seventy years ago. Still standing is the curious "Ragged Jonathan" or "Holey Stone," about 5 ft. high, pitted all over with small regular cup-like depressions. It has been used at some time as a milestone; but one old inhabitant says he thinks it came from the Devil's Churchyard, while another says that children used to be lifted over it to cure whooping-cough. I have also been told that the holes in the stone were made by Oliver Cromwell's guns. Much more famous than "Ragged Jonathan" is a perforated menhir about a mile to the east of Minchinhampton. It was formerly surrounded by the Common arable fields, to one of which it gave the name of "Longstone Field."

(A similar story was told me by a countryman on the Wiltshire Downs, of the fine dolmen known as "The Devil's Den," near Marlborough. The chains with which the horses and oxen pulled at the dolmen always flew in pieces.) Further, "when the Longstone hears the clock strike twelve, it runs round the field," as almost every child in the place will tell you.<ref>A similar story is told of the Rollright Stones; see [Sir] [[Author:A. J. Evans|A. J. Evans]], "The Rollright Stones and their Folk-lore," ''Folk-Lore,'' vol. vi., pp. 24 ''et seq''.</ref> Within living memory, children with whooping-cough and rickets used to be put through one of the holes in the stone. Traditions of bloodshed also cling round the Longstone; some say that it marks the burial place of a Danish chief killed in a battle at "Woeful Danes' Bottom," about half a mile distant, where "the blood ran as high as the wheels of a cart," and the victory was won by women who gave the Danes poisoned pancakes to eat.<ref>There are other traditions of Danes near Bisley, and near Sapperton is a road called "Daneway" or "Denaway,"—the latter form probably preserving the O.E. genitive plural.</ref> At the battle of "Woeful Danes' Bottom," which is much talked about, "the soldiers shot through the holes of the Longstone"; and all the tumuli or "tumps" in the neighbourhood are held to be "the soldiers' graves." Three or four years ago, a farmer found a quantity of bones in a mound hard by. An underground passage, popularly supposed to go from a house called "The Lammas" (on or adjoining the site of a priory) to Minchinhampton Church, also "ran with blood" at the time of the battle! "Woeful Danes' Bottom" is a place for ghosts. Men on horseback come through the gate at night. A woman told me how she was followed one night, along the road leading to the Bottom, by a ghostly dog. "I could see right through him, through his ribs." In all this atmosphere of bloodshed and ghostliness the Longstone too is shrouded. In Avening parish, about half a mile south of the Longstone, is "Tinglestone," a menhir crowning a long barrow; Mr. Frost of Avening tells me that it too "runs round the field when it hears the clock strike twelve."

I got it from a middle-aged woman who keeps a small shop; her mother, from whom she heard it, knew the heroine of the story, "There was an old woman in Minchinhampton who used to charm ailments; she was called Molly Dreamer, because her dreams came true. She dreamed that she would find a pot of gold in Gatcombe Tump, and she and her husband dug there many times. Once she actually had her hand on the pot, and was saying,—"Come up! Labour in vain!" when a spirit rose up and frightened her. At another time a spirit appeared to her husband there, and asked him to name five parish churches, [apparently as a condition of getting the gold], but he could remember only four." One old inhabitant, who lived as a child at a farm quite near, lays the scene of Molly's search at the Longstone itself, and adds that, just as she was lifting a stone that hid the treasure, there came a flash of lightning on to it, and Molly was never the same again. Some say, however, that she did find the gold. It is a fact that there have been finds in the near vicinity of the Longstone and the barrow,—of ornaments, flint chips, and arrow-heads. In Bisley parish ("Bisley, God help us!") there is, or was recently, a barrow called "Money Tump." There is also a legend of hidden treasure in Pan's Wood, Slad, near Stroud. People have tried to look for it, but have always been hindered by something happening,—accident or death,—or else the searchers have been scared away by mysterious noises.<ref>So Miss M. Warman, formerly of Slad parish.</ref> Cottagers at the foot of Bredon Hill, near Tewkesbury, assured me in 1906 that there is treasure hidden near or under the Bambury Stone, which goes down to the Avon to drink when it hears the clock strike twelve.

HuntingdonsJure. A farmer's wife from Offord Cluny has given me the following information about local customs : — The great day of the village year is Feast Sunday, the last Sunday in June, "when all friends meet," and girls in service take a holiday. Scarce a house in the village but has been ' done up,' papered, or painted to be ready for the Feast. Plum puddings are made, and fillets of pork prepared. About two weeks beforehand part of the hind leg is put in salt water; these ' fillets ' are stuffed and boiled, and " everyone reckons to have new potatoes and green peas for the Feast. Things are very backward if they can't have them ready by Feast Sunday." And it is the only Sunday in the year when the bake-house is opened, so that anyone who wants to can have their dinner cooked there. Then on Feast Monday stalls are set up down the village street, and there is dancing in the evening. An old man used to bring his fiddle to the booth. " It is always called a Feast in the villages, and a Fair in the towns where there is a market." On Feast Tuesday the Sunday School children have their treat. At Offord Darcy they have their Feast on St. Peter's (the following week to that of Offord Cluny), and the stalls are taken over and set up in that village. Hiring takes place at the Michaelmas Fair in St. Neot's, called the " Stattis Fair." They are hired at " the Stattis," a statue on the market hill.^ Servants go and stand there, and the farmers' wives and all the men, and they are hired for a year. On Valentine's Day buns are given to the children by the squire's wife (now a widow), and the children must be careful to say ' Thank you ' properly. Buns with a cross on them are given on Good Friday by the clergyman. ^•' ' Statute ' is a general term for a statutory Fair. {{nop}}<noinclude><references/></noinclude> qy3s13iq2ln6dxdxlpm95e8jo9kka6j Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

This is the more strange as Graham is, of course, a common Border name. So far as I could find out, however, the prejudice against it does not extend beyond the coast, nor, in fact, beyond the fishermen. It was first brought to my notice when my father (Alfred Allhusen, Beadnell Tower) was having the house repaired and re-papered. One of the workmen, from Newcastle, was named Graham. The fishermen, who made friends with all the other men,—taking them across to the Fame Islands and out in their boats on Sundays,—refused to have anything to do with this man, and made themselves so obnoxious to him that he had to return to Newcastle. I then began to make enquiries. I was told that once, in the winter, a stranger had come to the village, asking for Mr. Graham of Lughall. He went into a cottage where the women were baiting the hooks for the haddock lines. This means the baiting of five to seven thousand hooks—a whole day's work. Upon hearing the name of Graham, they directed the man to the house, but at once unbaited, and then re-baited, all the lines. The baker at Seahouses, who supplies the fishermen out here, is called Graham, but is, or then was, referred to by all the men as "Tom Puff"; no one would call him by his proper name, Tom Graham. I spoke about this to one of the old men,—a great friend of mine in whose boat I had often been out to haul his crabpots. He said that he knew well that the men would not get fish if they met a Graham, nor if they heard the name, unless they could at once touch cold iron. He himself did not know the origin of it, nor did he believe in it. "But,"<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> e9fkxhln55dwr7hz0zp1riwjnntighx Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

I leant over and shouted as we passed her,—"Did ye hear how Jack Graharn was?" And no sooner had I said the words than there was a crash, and the mast went over the side! "By God! will ye not believe us ''now''?" said the skipper." The prejudice is well known, and a local antiquarian suggested to me that Graham might be connected with the Grim Dykes, ''i.e.'' with the Devil.

He chose to run up and down a ditch at night. When the time came the hedgehog rolled himself up at one end of the ditch, and got a friend to roll himself up at the other; then he started the Devil off. At the other end of the ditch, the friend said to the Devil,—"Now we go off again." Each hedgehog kept repeating this formula at his own end of the ditch, while the Devil ran up and down between them, until they ran him to death.

Mohammed recognized the Evil Eye. The reality of witchcraft is a dogma. Miracles are magic. Mohammedan doctors have exercised themselves in distinguishing between the saint's miraculous act and the sorcerer's prodigy; and they have declared that the sole difference is in the morality of the aim pursued. A miracle is legitimate witchcraft, and witchcraft is forbidden miracle. The Prophet himself recommended the employment of magical incantations: he only forbade those that have a polytheistic character. He himself employed rites in their essence magical, and uttered incantations. The ceremonies at the Kaaba, which he consecrated and perpetuated, are in effect magical. It is only witchcraft,—anti-social magic,—that is forbidden in Islam. But, besides religion and witchcraft, there is another group of facts observable in Morocco, which are neither permitted nor forbidden, though not usually viewed with a favourable eye by orthodoxy. They belong to folklore, and include such celebrations as the Carnival and the Midsummer fires. They represent, in fact, ancient magical practices that once had a religious force, but in course of time have been disintegrated, so to say, from religion. The ideas, the myths, the beliefs connected with these practices have for the most part disappeared, and can only be reconstructed from the rites that remain. Some of them seem to coincide with festivals and solemnities, which have been taken up into Islam, but are themselves probably survivals of pre-existing pagan Arab customs. These theories will be recognized as in general correspondence with those of the English and French schools, to which the author acknowledges his indebtedness, repeatedly citing Prof. Frazer, Mr. Marett, Messrs. Hubert and Mauss, and other anthropological and sociological investigators. The rest of the book may without unfairness be described as an application of the theories to the various practices and beliefs found in Morocco.

Maps and ill.}} {{sc|In}} this volume we have to welcome a useful addition to the shelf of recent books which throw a flood of light on the tribes of East and Equatorial Africa. The Suk occupy a tract from Lake Baringo to the north-west, separated from Lake Rudolph by the Turkana, and, as Sir Charles Eliot suggests in the Introduction, are probably a mixed tribe in course of formation round a nucleus of fugitives driven into the hills by raids. The bulk of the volume is occupied by a vocabulary and grammar, but the author has fortunately added to these, in the first forty-five pages, what ethnographical material he was able to gather during a residence of little more than a year,—in which time, of course, even an investigator with no other occupation could not prepare an exhaustive account of the beliefs and organization of a people. Little information is given about the many totemic and exogamous clans (''e.g''. elephant, rain, and bull-frog), but a thorough investigation is promised at a future date. The men have an age classification, the duration of each age being, roughly, fifteen years (a generation), and all circumcised in that period are counted as of that age. Names exist for ages up to those older than 120 (when the cycle recommences), though probably none survive 75, and the last four ages are used only in tales etc. (p. 6). Women are not circumcised at regular times, and are counted as of the age of the men they marry. There is no word for chief, and the old man at the head of a village family is called ''ki-ruwok-in'' (adviser). The only houses are unsubstantial shelters made by the women, and hence not used by unmarried men (p. 7). To stand upright in the doorway or inside is unlucky, and will bring cattle thieves (p. 8). An ox with one horn pointing forward and one backward (''kamar'') is a necessary possession for every warrior, and cow's urine is used to purify hands and calabashes (pp. 8-9). There are sex taboos (pp. 10, 17), and before drinking honey wine libations to the spirits of the dead are poured on either side of the threshold. There is a vague and benevolent Supreme Being and creator, to whom prayers are offered, but who "has nothing<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 0z5jw71atecdmzi3p4e2mw7gfu3fjw0 Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

Men's spirits pass at death into snakes, and die finally with these new bodies. There is belief in the evil eye, grass has magical properties (pp. 20, 25), and pot-making is a secret trade, for women only, with its special rites and taboos. Several pages are devoted to a valuable account of the customary punishments for witchcraft and crime amongst the Suk and their immediate neighbours. The dances are distinctive, but the riddles are not very characteristic, and the dozen folk-tales given are abbreviated versions and, as Mr. Beech remarks, "not very good." The illustrations are interesting, but some are not sufficiently clear. The author has accomplished much in little time and under many difficulties, and folklorists will be grateful for his decision to publish at once his valuable results, even though he felt that his enquiries were still incomplete. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:A.

There is nothing in itself very new in any of these things; their chief interest lies in the fact of their having been noted in a country so little known as "The Land of Uz." The author's relation with this country grew out of the demarcation of the boundary between the Aden Hinterland and the possessions of Turkey. The country traversed proved to be, not the desert which had been expected, but "mountainous districts, containing more or less fertile valleys, and at least as well populated as were the highlands of Scotland in the middle of the 18th century" (p. ix).

It is to be wished that the herb mentioned in the following note might be more exactly identified. It seems that, as usual among Arabs, the only plants which receive much attention are scented herbs. "Three species in particular are grown, one worn by tribesmen generally, on festive occasions, one used at weddings, and a third the ''shukr shahed'' (or herb of witness) to place beneath the head of a corpse as it lies on its side with its face towards Mecca in the recess of its last tenement." The author affects an easy, not to say familiar, style, but that he has a real literary power is visible in certain passages, and in some very charming verses which breathe the true spirit of the East. Indeed this is one of those very rare volumes written by one who really knows the country of which he writes, and as such especially valuable to those who are also students of oriental lands, as well as really informing and directing to those who stay at home. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:Hans H.

One day in 1908, while a young lady at Eastington was digging up plants in a garden, I overheard a group of rough lads trying to put her out of countenance by sly allusions to "parsley bed" (laughter) and "tree of life" (more laughter). Perhaps in this connection one may add that at Randwick a rosemary bush will not flourish except in a garden where the woman is master of the house.

Many also made "wiput" or whitepot, a kind of pudding or porridge peculiar to the occasion. It was a standing joke that fleas were supposed to be put into the "wiput" (cf.

The father takes it, and hands it to his wife, who wraps it in her cloth and nurses it as if it were a baby. This lime is kept very carefully in some secret place. The offering to Lamjasara lathokpa is left until the morning, and then thrown away. Should an outbreak of sickness cause people to think that some ''Suren'' has not been appeased, enquiries are made, and, if the offending parents can be found, they are compelled to carry out the ceremony. If the enquiries lead to nothing, the ceremonies are performed by public subscription among the members of the ''Sagei'' (''i.e.'' those who can trace their descent back to a common ancestor). From a note supplied to me by the Rev. W. Pettigrew, who has been many years working among the Tangkhuls (a clan of some 26,000 souls inhabiting the hills between the valley of Manipur and the Chindwin), we learn that the bodies of children dying in infancy are buried promiscuously in shallow graves, and they are not represented in the annual ceremony in honour of those who have died during the year. Their spirits are supposed not to become honey bees, like those of other folk, but house flies, and to live on the refuse of other spirits' plates in Kazai-ram, the abode of the dead. A piece of a shrub called ''mangrahai'', (a species of cock sorrel,) is placed in the hand of the infant before burial, in order that the little one may suck it and appease its hunger on the way to Kazai-ram. Among the Kabuis, a tribe inhabiting the hills to the west of the Manipur valley, the bodies of such infants are buried behind the house, without ceremony, other burials taking place in front. The village is unclean for five days, during which no one may go out. Among the Shans in the Upper Chindwin valley, if the youngest child of a family dies while still an infant, it is buried without any ceremony. After death the corpse must not be laid down, but must be carried in the arms of some relative. A week later the mother squeezes some of her milk on to the place where the child used to sleep, and some milk and boiled rice is sent to the ''phongyis'' (priests) in place of the usual funeral feast.<ref>Should a woman die before childbirth, the Shans, like the people of Andro, remove the fœtus and bury it separately, lest the spirit should trouble that of the mother in a future state.</ref> Among the Lusheis,<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> sf5zju6bkaos220cv5xwql3t8fu8ko3 Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

The spirits of such children cannot be shot at by Pupawla, the dreaded archer whose house is at the junction of the seven roads to Mi-thi-khua, the dead men's village, whence he shoots with his pellet bow at all poor souls hurrying by. In Maram, a Naga village to the north of the Manipur valley, the corpse of a child dying within ten days of its birth is buried at the foot of the centre post of the house, instead of outside. The Kolhen, another small tribe living near the Manipur valley, also fix ten days as the unlucky period, and children dying within it are buried under the eaves of the house. Among the Route, children dying within a year of birth are buried without ceremony to the east of the village, whereas the regular cemetery is to the west. It will be seen that, though all these clans treat such deaths as abnormal, and bury the bodies of such children in a manner different to those of persons dying in the ordinary way, it is only amo.ng the Manipuris, the people of Andro, the Shans, and the Ronte that the difference in procedure denotes a fear of the spirit of the dead child. All the other clans, while observing no ceremony, bury the body either in or near the house, as if to encourage the return of the spirit. The absence of ceremony may be due to a belief that the spirit which sojourned so short a time has hardly acquired a distinct personality, which would account for the omission of all reference to such spirits at the Tangkhul annual ceremony in honour of the dead. We will next consider the cases in which women die in childbirth or soon after. Among the Kabui a death occurring within two months of the birth is classed as "unlucky." Among the people of Andro a death occurring before the removal of the afterbirth is counted as an unnatural death. In Phayeng, a village closely allied to Andro, deaths occurring on the day of the birth are unnatural. In other clans the periods are less clearly defined, but in all clans such deaths are considered unlucky, and there is a general belief that it is possible, so to speak, to catch the disease from the corpse, and therefore, in nearly every clan, the funeral has to be carried out by very old men and women. Other precautions are taken to remove the "infection." Among<noinclude><references/></noinclude> nofe37884qm173hpf2mkrj74uj5ff1s Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

The husband is not allowed to eat the flesh of any animal that has died, nor any vegetables unless he cooks them himself, until the annual festival which marks the close of the year. The village itself is closed for five days, and no one may go out; if any enter, they cannot leave till the fifth day is completed. In some villages, no thread may be dyed red or black for five years; in others, the prohibition is only for the current year. In Marām the whole house is demolished. Among the Tangkhuls, Mr. Pettigrew notes that the body must be buried by very old men and women, and that young folks are even prohibited from eating any of the meat either in the funeral feast or at the annual ceremony in honour of the dead, for fear that they themselves should die in the same way, or become barren or impotent. In most clans some purifying ceremonies have to be observed either by the whole village or by the family of the deceased. In Andro, the whole ''Sagei'' is unclean until the following ceremony has been performed on a day selected by the ''Maiba''. The whole ''Sagei'' having assembled, two fowls are produced and laid on the ground, with their legs tied, so that they cannot move away. Each member of the ''Sagei'' then takes a mouthful of water, and, stepping over one fowl, blows the water over the other. After each has done this three times, all receive a little ginger, ''haimang'' (a jungle fruit), salt, and pepper, after which they are clean. The ''Maiba'' receives a black dog, a goat, and a fowl. None of the ''Sagei'' may eat the flesh of these animals. The corpse is burnt in the ordinary manner, but at Phayeng the corpse is taken to a special place outside the village, where it is burnt with some paddy, vegetables, and the body of a goat that is killed beside the funeral pile. Among the Manipuris a very elaborate ceremony has to be performed to remove the evil influence from the husband.

He takes a little earth from the hearth, and places it in a leaf held by one of his companions. They then all four walk around the hearth thrice, and then go out. The old earth is thrown away, and some fresh is obtained and put into the place on the hearth whence the old earth was taken. After this the husband is seated in the yard in front of the ''Maiba'', and is sprinkled by him with the holy water, and then the husband's sister presents the ''Maiba'' with rice and vegetables and some money. All the articles laid out are removed to the ''Maiba's'' house, except the bag of ''pice'', which is left hanging from the ''Seng-gam''. The ''Maiba'' walks off towards his house, holding his hands behind his back, and the husband takes the black cloth with the ''pice'' inside it and, running after the ''Maiba'', places it in his hands, saying,—"You have forgotten something." The ''Maiba'' must go straight on without looking round, and thus all the ill-luck is removed. Among the Shans of the Upper Chindwin valley, the woman's corpse is buried in the usual way, but the husband has to go through a purification ceremony. Immediately after the burial he changes into ragged clothes beside the grave, and feigns madness. The villagers pelt him with stones, and he flies from them to the river and plunges in. On emerging he dresses in new clothes, and returns cleansed. The house also has to be purified. In these cases also we find indications of two prevailing ideas. In the two last cases the house and the husband are specially purified, the corpse being disposed of in the ordinary way. At Andro, the evil influence spreads to the whole of the ''Sagei'', but it appears to be independent of the corpse. In the other class of cases the evil influence seems to be specially attached to the body and clothing of the deceased, and in some cases to the house also. The Kabuis seem to hold both theories, as the prohibition placed on the husband eating certain articles is evidently meant to counteract the malign influence to which he is supposed to be particularly subject, and the closing of the village for five days, and the tabu placed on dyeing thread, show that the whole community is also considered in danger, while the "infection" clings<noinclude><references/></noinclude> jrwlauyohzbsvjxszwwp5qult7nzqu5 Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

You needna be touching with the pin, — but do as I bid you, — point nine times, an' then throw the pin into the graveyard." "^ Toothache charms. — The following gruesome charm horrified an English tourist who was lingering in a country churchyard during a funeral. Amongst the mourners was a young man with a swollen cheek and looking extremely dejected. Presently the supposed mourner took up a skull lying upon a heap of dry mould and crumbled bones thrown up in digging the grave. He raised the skull to his lips, and with his own teeth extracted from it a tooth. He then threw the skull carelessly away, and wrapped the tooth in paper and put it into his pocket. Many eyes were fixed upon the young man, but no face expressed the least surprise. "Can you tell me why he did that?" asked the Englishman of an old man who had stood next him during the ceremony. " Surely, sir. Thon poor boy was very bad wi' the toothache, an' it's allowed to be a cure if you draw a tooth from a skull wi' yer ain teeth. He'll sew thon tooth in his clothes, an' wear it as long as he lives." ° Cf. Black, op. cit., p. 63. ^ Cf.

Gregor, ''Notes on the Folk-Lore of the North-East of Scotland'', p. 48.</ref> Next day the same tourist passed a tidy housemaid on the staircase in his hotel, and in greeting her remarked that she wore a pretty ring. "It was bestowed on me, sir," she replied, but without the blush that would have accompanied the confession of a sweetheart's gift, and added,—"I wear it for the toothache, sir."<ref>Cf. Black, ''op. cit''., p. 173 (Donegal).</ref> To wear a ring that has been presented is a charm against toothache, and certainly a pleasanter cure than to swallow nine hairs pulled out of a black cat's tail,—the charm most strongly recommended in some parts of Donegal. "Go to the schoolmaster, and ask him to cure you. He will give you a paper carefully folded up, directing you not to read what is written therein, and saying that, if you disobey, the cure will not do you any good."<ref>Cf. Black, ''op. cit.'', p. 171.</ref> Another cure for this most common of earthly ills is not to shave on Sunday. Shave instead upon Saturday, and you will never again have toothache. "Is that a certain cure?" I asked my informant. "It is, Miss M'Clintock. My son James did it, an' he never had a taste o' the toothache after he stopped shaving on the Sabbath." ''Whooping-cough charms.''—One of the charms most highly recommended by wise women is to procure a lock of hair from the head of a posthumous child. Some years ago every child in my neighbourhood was coughing terribly. "How is Sandy to-day?" I asked. "Bad enough, miss. But he'll be better to-morrow, for we ha' got a wee lock o' hair frae Donnel Teague." "A lock of hair! What will you do with that?" "The weans 'll wear it, miss, an' they'll soon be better." Much puzzled, I persisted,—"But why Donnel Teague's hair more than any other man's hair?"

Surely no! The cure is to keep the hair weel rolled up, an' hidden in the house." In some districts the child is passed nine times under a donkey.<ref>''Cf''. Black, ''op. cit.'', 118.</ref> In the neighbourhood of Letterkenny, the mother takes the sick child out on a summer evening "where the beetle wheels his droning flight," in the hope that the beetle will fly against her and be caught.

The beetle is carried home and corked up in a bottle, and with his life the whooping-cough in the house will expire.<ref>''Cf.'' Black, ''op. cit.'', p. 61.</ref> Another cure is to send the child out to meet a piebald horse. If he meets one, he must stop the rider, saying,—"You man on the piebald horse, gie me a cure for the chincough." To which the rider must reply,—"A kiss from my lips; a penny from my purse; a kepper [slice of bread and butter] from my hand."

Everything ''must'' be done in the presence of the patient and his friends, but on no account are they to see or know what was written. This is a secret known only to the curer and one deputy. He is not at liberty to tell the secret words to more than one, or the power is gone for ever. Half a crown was the fee understood as necessary to successful cure, but the doctor was not allowed to ask for a fee. Sometimes, however, I have known a patient to give ten shillings. The above I can vouch for as absolutely correct, for I was a deputy 'doctor' myself once upon a time. My father was the deputy of a very old respectable dame in our neighbourhood, and she was very popular and much sought after. On her death my father held the secret, and one can hardly credit the number of patients who came to him. He made me his deputy, and, as he was not enthusiastic about the 'work,' he used to let me do it. The most remarkable thing is that not only had we cures, but I only remember one case of failure. Generally the patients were better immediately. I remember one day a carriage arrived at our cottage door, and a gentleman farmer,—a J. P.,—brought his daughter to be treated, after being under medical treatment for a long time. He was desperate, evidently. She brought her own cheese, and I did the rest. I think I received five shillings for it, and they went away. Next morning he came back and swore at me like anything. He said I had the devil in me, for his daughter had been quite cured. The cures puzzle me still, but, now that I have told others the secret, it has of course lost all its virtue, and it would be unfair to experiment with it on any of the present generation. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:Thomas Lewis|Thomas Lewis]].}}}} {{rule|10em}} <section end="s1" /> <section begin="s2" />{{c|{{sc|Cotswold Place-Lore and Customs.}} (''Supra'', pp. 332-42.)}} May I be allowed space for a few observations on Miss Partridge's excellent paper in the last number of ''Folk-Lore''?

''Consecration of the seed.''—Seed is prepared with much care at certain seasons of the year, seldom deviated from. Rye is threshed to allow ''gaoth bhog nan Duldachd'', the soft wind of November and December, to winnow the seed; oats to allow ''gaoth fhuar nam Faoileach'', the cold winds of January and February, to winnow it; and bere in ''gaoth gheur nam Mart'', the sharp winds of March and April. Three days before sowing the seed is sprinkled with clear cold water, in the name of Father, Son, and Spirit, the person sprinkling walking sunwise the meanwhile. Such are a few of the results of personal observation noted by Dr. Carmichael, and in no other book than ''Carmina Gadelica'' do we realise so forcibly the linking together in folk-custom of pagan and Christian traditions in our own islands. Dr. Carmichael contributed many papers to Scottish Gaelic and antiquarian societies, and published in his ''Deirdre'' a North British version of that exquisite story. He aided Dr. W. F. Skene substantially in the third volume of ''Celtic Scotland'' by a study of the native system of land tenure, and the methods of apportioning the stock and tilling the land. He wandered through the Western Isles with Campbell of Islay, and assisted in the collection of Highland tales. He was chieftain or president of various Gaelic societies, and his influence has been very great over the younger generation of Celtic students and writers. His own family carry on his work, and his spirit is still alive and active in his daughter (Mrs. Watson), editor of ''[[The Celtic Review]]''. It was Dr. Carmichael's intention to publish two more volumes of West Highland poems, for which he had collected material, but failing health prevented the completion of this task. We trust that this valuable material will not be laid aside unused. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:Eleanor Hull|Eleanor Hull]].}}}}<noinclude><references/></noinclude> oaefm3b5r08ultb3xpxc8hxacr78njw Page:Folk-lore - A Quarterly Review.

The consequence has been that the data available for the student are of very unequal value, since the workers in the field have too frequently been biassed, their lack of training has caused them to overlook many essential facts, and too frequently there has been deliberate suppression of data. These blunders of omission and commission are often apparent when the writers endeavour to summarise their observations or to theorise thereon. Even the student at home has not always followed a rigorous scientific method, with the natural consequence that ethnology has not been able to take her rightful place among her sister sciences. With a view to improving this state of affairs, Dr. F. Graebner has written a small book on the methods of ethnology which deserves to be studied by all investigators and writers on ethnology. He emphasises the close connection of ethnological to historical method; quite a different method is necessary to account for a special social organisation from that needed to examine the nature of radioactivity or the formation of chemical compounds. The main difference is that the appreciation of the individual facts prohibits a general application of induction, relegating to it a secondary function.

He makes pertinent remarks on the criticism of records. Once the value of the evidence is established it has to be interpreted, and he points out the numerous pitfalls that beset the path of the unwary, here, as everywhere, illustrating his statements by exposing the delinquencies of former writers,—though in doing so he sometimes overstates his case, and thereby creates a wrong impression. Interpretation is at present the best-cultivated department of ethnology, but along with it goes combination, which establishes a causal connection between individual phenomena and so elucidates origins. The surest basis of combination is critically-examined tradition or history, especially when there is chronological order, but this is not always available, and in that case great care must be exercised in framing hypotheses as to relative primitiveness. Graebner instances Father-right and Mother-right, and states that there is no reason why they should not be two different trends, the transitions being secondary combinations due to the contact of the two systems. He discusses the theories of ethnological evolution, and refers to the doctrine of elemental ideas which is based on the present psychical similarity of the diverse branches of mankind when acted upon by similar natural environment, leading to parallelism or convergence. The problem is to find a criterion of the different possible relations of similar phenomena to each other, and to discover the characters by which one can detect whether several parallel phenomena are ethnologically related or of independent origin. Graebner discusses these two points of view, and indicates that two main criteria are available to prove ethnological connections:—that of form, ''i.e.'' correspondence of qualities not inherent to the nature of the object, and that of quantitative correspondence. To secure objective and unprejudiced criteria is only a part of the work; next comes the application of them. There are no definite rules to be followed, it being largely a matter of self-criticism and sensitiveness; it is best to build on the sure foundation of a single area, advancing cautiously step by step. The reconstruction is largely effected by a sort of process of subtraction.

The starting point should always be the present cultural entity or one determinable by authorities, but you cannot tell whether fusion or interaction has taken place within this particular entity without studying its neighbouring or allied entities. A quarter of the work is taken up with an exposition of the principles involved in the discrimination of culture areas and culture strata, each stratum forming what he terms a culture complex. The application of these principles can be seen worked out in detail in Graebner's suggestive memoir, ''Die Melanesische Bogenkultur und ihre Verwandten'' (''Anthropos'', iv., 1909); many of his conclusions have been criticised, as is to be expected in a more or less pioneer research, but the aim he has in view will not be so much neglected in the future as it has been in the past. Folklorists will find many valuable suggestions of method in this book, and it can be strongly recommended to their notice. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:A. C. Haddon|A. C.

Those members of the Folk-Lore Society who have of late been directing their attention to the compilation of calendar customs will be able to appreciate the care and skill with which he has performed his task. A wider public likewise will find pleasure in the book. Its outer form is comely. The coloured plates and other illustrations are appropriate and well reproduced. Most important of all, the style of writing is not only lucid, but has charm and distinction; whilst good taste, such as is especially needed where old-world superstitions have to be disentangled from associated practices of live religion, is never for a moment absent.

They were fastened to wooden handles, and could be used either as axes for cutting wood or, by twisting the stone in the handle, as adzes for hollowing out a canoe. Mr. Murray says that even in the old days there was apparently no ceremonial connected with the drinking of ''gamada'' (''Piper methysticum'', the ''kava'' of the South Sea) among the tribes behind Mawata. This holds good as to the drinking of ''gamada'' (or ''gamoda'') on ordinary occasions. But the use of the beverage is in addition intimately connected with some of the ceremonies of the natives, particularly those referring to their agriculture. Thus they sprinkle ''gamoda'' in the direction of their gardens when invoking certain mythical beings to help them in their work, and they think it absolutely necessary for securing success in that respect. That is one reason why they yield so reluctantly to the inducements of the Government and Mission who want them to give up the use of ''gamoda''; as one native put it:—"We fright (fear) Jesus Christ, one thing we fright our kaikai (food) too." Sir William Macgregor, in his Introduction, says that Mr. Murray "has had opportunities of seeing into the heart of things in New Guinea in a way that no previous writer on that country could ever lay claim to," and it is refreshing to read a book dealing with ethnology, the writer of which, in spite of his vast information, contents himself with bringing forward and explaining facts without entering upon more or less premature theories as to the ultimate ethnical questions connected with the tribes he is describing. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:G.

Rudolph in the first “anastigmats” (photographic objectives). Instead of making ''d''{{Greek|φ}} vanish, a certain value can be assigned to it which will produce, by the addition of the two lenses, any desired chromatic deviation, ''e.g.'' sufficient to eliminate one present in other parts of the system. If the lenses I. and II. be cemented and have the same refractive index for one colour, then its effect for that one colour is that of a lens of one piece; by such decomposition of a lens it can be made chromatic or achromatic at will, without altering its spherical effect. If its chromatic effect (''d''{{Greek|φ/φ}}) be greater than that of the same lens, this being made of the more dispersive of the two glasses employed, it is termed “hyper-chromatic.” For two thin lenses separated by a distance D the condition for achromatism is ''D'' = (''v''<sub>1</sub>''f''<sub>1</sub>+''v''<sub>2</sub>''f''<sub>2</sub>); if ''v''<sub>1</sub>=''v''<sub>2</sub> (''e.g.'' if the lenses be made of the same glass), this reduces to ''D''= {{EB1911 tfrac|1|2}} (''f''<sub>1</sub>+''f''<sub>2</sub>), known as the “condition for oculars.” If a constant of reproduction, for instance the focal length, be made equal for two colours, then it is not the same for other colours, if two different glasses are employed. For example, the condition for achromatism (4) for two thin lenses in contact is fulfilled in only one part of the spectrum, since ''dn''<sub>2</sub>/''dn''<sub>1</sub> varies within the spectrum. This fact was first ascertained by J. Fraunhofer, who defined the colours by means of the dark lines in the solar spectrum; and showed that the ratio of the dispersion of two glasses varied about 20% from the red to the violet (the variation for glass and water is about 50%). If, therefore, for two colours, ''a'' and ''b'', ''f<sub>a</sub>'' = ''f<sub>b</sub>'' = ''f'', then for a third colour, ''c'', the focal length is different, viz. if ''c'' lie between ''a'' and ''b'', then ''f<sub>c</sub>'' <big><</big>''f'', and ''vice versa''; these algebraic results follow from the fact that towards the red the dispersion of the positive crown glass preponderates, towards the violet that of the negative flint. These chromatic errors of systems, which are achromatic for two colours, are called the “secondary spectrum,” and depend upon the aperture and focal length in the same manner as the primary chromatic errors do. In fig. 11, taken from M. von Rohr’s ''Theorie und Geschichte des photographischen Objectivs'', the abscissae are focal lengths, and the ordinates wave-lengths; of the latter the Fraunhofer lines used are— {|{{ts|ma|lh12|ac}} |A′ || C ||D || Green Hg. ||F ||G′ ||&emsp;Violet Hg. |-{{Ts|ar}} |&emsp;767.7&emsp; ||656·3|| 589·3 ||{{ts|ac}}|546·1 || 486·2 ||454·1 ||&emsp;405·1 {{Greek|μμ}}, |} {{Img float |file=ABERR6rev.png |width=215px |cap={{sc|Fig.}} 11.—Secondary Spectrum of the combination O. 1726, O. 108.

Rohr, ''op. cit.'')}}|style=font-size:92%; line-height:125% |capalign=left}} and the focal lengths are made equal for the lines C and F. In the neighbourhood of 550 {{Greek|μμ}} the tangent to the curve is parallel to the axis of wave-lengths; and the focal length varies least over a fairly large range of colour, therefore in this neighbourhood the colour union is at its best. Moreover, this region of the spectrum is that which appears brightest to the human eye, and consequently this curve of the secondary spectrum, obtained by making ''f''<sub>c</sub> =''f<sub>v</sub>'', is, according to the experiments of Sir G. G. Stokes (''Proc. Roy. Soc''., 1878), the most suitable for visual instruments (“optical achromatism”). In a similar manner, for systems used in photography, the vertex of the colour curve must be placed in the position of the maximum sensibility of the plates; this is generally supposed to be at G′; and to accomplish this the F and violet mercury lines are united. This artifice is specially adopted in objectives for astronomical photography (“pure actinic achromatism”). For ordinary photography, however, there is this disadvantage: the image on the focussing-screen and the correct adjustment of the photographic sensitive plate are not in register; in astronomical photography this difference is constant, but in other kinds it depends on the distance of the objects. On this account the lines D and G′ are united for ordinary photographic objectives; the optical as well as the actinic image is chromatically inferior, but both lie in the same place; and consequently the best correction lies in F (this is known as the “actinic correction” or “freedom from chemical focus”). Should there be in two lenses in contact the same focal lengths for three colours ''a'', ''b'', and ''c'', ''i.e.'' ''f<sub>a</sub>'' = ''f<sub>b</sub>'' = ''f<sub>c</sub>'' = ''f'', then the relative partial dispersion (''n<sub>c</sub>''−''n<sub>b</sub>'') (''n<sub>a</sub>''−''n<sub>b</sub>'') must be equal for the two kinds of glass employed. This follows by considering equation (4) for the two pairs of colours ''ac'' and ''bc''. Until recently no glasses were known with a proportional degree of absorption; but R. Blair (''Trans. Edin. Soc''., 1791, 3, p.&nbsp;3), P. Barlow, and F. S. Archer overcame the difficulty by constructing fluid lenses between glass walls. Fraunhofer prepared glasses which reduced the secondary spectrum; but permanent success was only assured on the introduction of the Jena glasses by E. Abbe and O. Schott. In using glasses not having proportional dispersion, the deviation of a third colour can be eliminated by two lenses, if an interval be allowed between them; or by three lenses in contact, which may not all consist of the old glasses. In uniting three colours an “achromatism of a higher order” is derived; there is yet a residual “tertiary spectrum,” but it can always be neglected. The Gaussian theory is only an approximation; monochromatic or spherical aberrations still occur, which will be different for different colours; and should they be compensated for one colour, the image of another colour would prove disturbing. The most important is the chromatic difference of aberration of the axis point, which is still present to disturb the image, after par-axial rays of different colours are united by an appropriate combination of glasses. If a collective system be corrected for the axis point for a definite wave-length, then, on account of the greater dispersion in the negative components—the flint glasses,—over-correction will arise for the shorter wavelengths (this being the error of the negative components), and under-correction for the longer wave-lengths (the error of crown glass lenses preponderating in the red). This error was treated by Jean le Rond d’Alembert, and, in special detail, by C.&nbsp;F. Gauss. It increases rapidly with the aperture, and is more important with medium apertures than the secondary spectrum of par-axial rays; consequently, spherical aberration must be eliminated for two colours, and if this be impossible, then it must be eliminated for those particular wave-lengths which are most effectual for the instrument in question (a graphical representation of this error is given in M. von Rohr, ''Theorie und Geschichte des photographischen Objectivs''). The condition for the reproduction of a surface element in the place of a sharply reproduced point—the constant of the sine relationship must also be fulfilled with large apertures for several colours. E. Abbe succeeded in computing microscope objectives free from error of the axis point and satisfying the sine condition for several colours, which therefore, according to his definition, were “aplanatic for several colours”; such systems he termed “apochromatic”. While, however, the magnification of the individual zones is the same, it is not the same for red as for blue; and there is a chromatic difference of magnification. This is produced in the same amount, but in the opposite sense, by the oculars, which ate used with these objectives (“compensating oculars”), so that it is eliminated in the image of the whole microscope. The best telescope objectives, and photographic objectives intended for three-colour work, are also apochromatic, even if they do not possess quite the same quality of correction as microscope objectives do. The chromatic differences of other errors of reproduction have seldom practical importances. {{nop}} <section end="Aberration" /><noinclude></noinclude> m39jfm17crk4032opvsmjweawkcdx1e Author:John Henry Gurney Jr. 102 1458259 12506575 12493291 2022-07-24T14:37:30Z Dick Bos 15954 Zool 1877, p341 wikitext text/x-wiki {{author | firstname = John Henry | lastname = Gurney | last_initial = Gu | description = British ornithologist, son of [[Author:John Henry Gurney|John Henry Gurney]] Sr. (1819–1890) }} == Works == * ''Rambles of a naturalist in Egypt & other countries,'' (1876) {{ext scan link|1=http://archive.org/details/cu31924001235203}} * '[[The House Sparrow/The House Sparrow: by an Ornithologist|The House Sparrow: by an Ornithologist]],' in: {{Aut|Gurney, J.H., Colonel C.

Certain non-combatants received the medal without a clasp. 18. ''Baltic'', 1854–55.—Awarded by Queen Victoria, 1856. Obverse: Head of Queen Victoria as in First China Medal. Reverse: Britannia seated and holding a trident in her right hand. In the background forts. Above, BALTIC. In exergue, 1854–1855. Ribbon: Yellow, with pale blue borders (Plate I.). Clasps: Nil. This award, notified by Admiralty Order, June 5, 1856, was granted “to the officers and crews of Her Majesty’s ships, as well as to such officers and Men of Her Majesty’s Army as were employed in the operations in the Baltic in the years 1854 and 1855.” The medal is, of course, practically a naval one, but two officers and ninety-nine men of the Royal Engineers were employed in the expedition, especially at Bomarsund, and received it. 19. ''Turkish Crimea Medal''.—Awarded by the Sultan, 1856. Obverse: A trophy composed of a field piece, a mortar, and an anchor, the field piece standing on the Russian Imperial Standard, and having a map of the Crimea spread over the wheel and breech. Behind are the Turkish, British, French and Sardinian flags. The flag of the nation to which the recipient belonged is in the front with that of Turkey, the flags of the other two nationalities behind. In exergue, “Crimea 1855,” “La Crimée 1855,” or “La Crimea 1855,” according as to whether the medal was intended for British, French or Sardinian recipients. Reverse: The Sultan’s cypher, below, in Turkish, “Crimea,” and the year of the Hegira, 1271. Ribbon: Crimson watered, with bright green edges (Plate I.). Clasps: Nil. This medal was distributed to all of the Allied Forces, both naval and military, which shared in the operations in the Black Sea and the Crimea. As the ship that conveyed a majority of the English medals was sunk, the remainder were issued indiscriminately, and a large number of the British received medals which were originally intended either for the French or Sardinians.<ref>In addition to this award the French emperor sent five hundred of the French “Military Medal,” to be distributed amongst specially selected non-commissioned officers and men of the army and Royal Marines, and petty officers and seamen of the Royal Navy. Only two of these medals were given to officers, viz. the duke of Cambridge and Sir William Codrington, the latter being presented by Pélissier with his own medal. The king of Sardinia also distributed 450 medals to the British forces, of which 50 were given to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, and 243 to officers and 157 to non-commissioned officers and privates of the army.</ref> 20. ''Arctic'', 1818–1855 (First Arctic).—Awarded by Queen Victoria, 1857. Obverse: Head of Queen Victoria, wearing a tiara. Legend, VICTORIA REGINA. Reverse: A ship blocked in the ice, icebergs to right and left, and in foreground a sledging party. Above, FOR ARCTIC DISCOVERIES. In exergue, 1818–1855. Ribbon: White (Plate II.). Clasps: Nil. This award was first notified in an Admiralty Notice dated, January 30, 1857. It was given to the crews of Her Majesty’s ships employed in Arctic exploration, and also “to the officers of the French Navy, and to such volunteers as accompanied those expeditions”; also to those engaged in expeditions “equipped by the government and citizens of the United States”: also to the “commanders and crews of the several expeditions which originated in the zeal and humanity of Her Majesty’s subjects”: and finally to those who served “in the several land expeditions, whether equipped by Her Majesty’s government, by the Hudson’s Bay Company, or from private resources.” The medal is worn on the left breast and takes rank as a war medal. It is octagonal in shape, 1·3 in., and has affixed to the upper edge a five-pointed star to which is attached a ring for suspension. The head of the queen, which is the work of L.&nbsp;C. Wyon, has never been reproduced on any other medal. 21. ''Indian Mutiny'', 1857–58.—Awarded by the Government of India, 1858. Obverse: Head of Queen Victoria as on First China Medal. Reverse: Britannia standing facing left with a lion on her right side; her right arm is extended holding out a wreath; on her left arm is the Union shield, and in her left hand a wreath. Above, INDIA. In exergue, 1857–1858. Ribbon: White, with two red stripes, forming five {{EB1911 tfrac|4}}-inch stripes (Plate I.). Clasps: DELHI (May 30 to Sep. 14, 1857); DEFENCE OF LUCKNOW (June 29 to Sep. 25, 1857); RELIEF OF LUCKNOW (Nov., 1857); LUCKNOW (March 2 to 21, 1858); CENTRAL INDIA (Jan. to June 1858). The grant of this award was first notified in a despatch from the Court of Directors to the Government which stated that “the Queen has been graciously pleased to command that a Medal shall be granted to the troops in the Service of Her Majesty, and of the East India Company, who have been, or may be, employed in the suppression of the Mutiny in India.” This is the last medal given by the Honourable East India Company. The medal without clasp was awarded to all, including civilians, who had taken part in operations against the mutineers or rebels, and with the clasps enumerated above to those who shared in the operations specified. Some two or three artillery men are known to have received the medal with the clasps “Delhi,” “Relief of Lucknow,” “Lucknow” and “Central India.” The medal with three clasps, viz. “Delhi,” “Relief of Lucknow” and “Lucknow” was given only to the 9th Lancers and the Bengal Horse Artillery, and of course various officers who served on the staff, as, for example, Field Marshals Earl Roberts and Sir Henry Norman. With regard to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, the “Shannon’s” brigade, under Captain Peel, received the medal with one, or both, of the clasps “Relief of Lucknow,” “Lucknow,” the “Pearl’s” brigade, under Captain Sotheby received the medal without clasp. This is the last medal that had on it the beautiful head of Queen Victoria which was first used for the China Medal of 1842, and of which W. Wyon, R.A., was the artist. 22. ''Abyssinia'', 1867–68.—Awarded by Queen Victoria, 1868. Obverse: Bust of Queen Victoria, with diadem and veil; around an indented border, between the nine points of which are the letters A.B.Y.S.S.I.N.I.A. Reverse: Within a beaded circle the name of recipient, his corps, regiment or ship, the whole surrounded with a wreath of laurel. Ribbon: Red, with broad white borders <ins>(</ins>Plate I.). Clasps: Nil. The sanction of this award is to be found in a letter from Sir J. S. Pakington, secretary of state for war, to H.R.H. the duke of Cambridge, field-marshal commanding-in-chief, which notifies the queen’s pleasure “that a medal be granted to all Her Majesty’s Forces and Indian Forces, Naval and Military, employed in the operations in Abyssinia, which resulted in the capture of Magdala.” In all 20,000 medals were struck. The medal is smaller than the usual, 1{{EB1911 tfrac|4}}in. in diameter, and it is surmounted by an Imperial Crown, and a large silver ring for suspension. It is altogether an unusual type of medal, and in the use of an indented border it follows a very old precedent, that of a medal commemorating the victory of Valens over Procopius, {{asc|A. D.}} 365. (See ''Les Médaillons de l’empire romain'', by W. Froehner, Paris, 1878). The artists responsible for this medal are Joseph S. Wyon and Alfred B. Wyon, and this bust of the queen is reproduced on only one other medal, the New Zealand. 23. ''New Zealand'', 1845–47, 1860–66.—Awarded by Queen Victoria, 1869. Obverse: Bust of Queen Victoria as on Abyssinia medal, but larger. Legend: VICTORIA D:G:BRITT: REG:F:D: Reverse: Dated, within a wreath of laurel, according to the period in which the recipient served. Above, NEW ZEALAND; below, VIRTUTIS HONOR. Ribbon: Blue, with a broad red stripe down centre (Plate I.). Clasps: Nil. The grant of this award to the Army was notified in an Army Order, dated March 1, 1869, and its extension to the Royal Navy and Royal Marines by an Admiralty Order, dated June 3, 1869. Owing to incompleteness in the returns many medals were issued undated. The dates on the reverse, in those issued dated, varied considerably; for the First Maori War, the medal was issued to the Army with one, and to the Navy with five different dates; for the Second Maori War, the medal was issued to the Army with twenty-one, and to the Navy with five different dates. No medal was dated 1862, though many of the Army medals bore date of a period covering that year, although no naval medals did. 24. ''West Africa'', 1873–1900.—Awarded (originally as the “Ashantee” medal) by Queen Victoria in 1874, with the exception of the last issue, with clasp “1900,” which was awarded by H.M. King Edward VII. Obverse: Head of Queen Victoria, with diadem, and veil behind, by L.&nbsp;C. Wyon. Legend: VICTORIA REGINA. Reverse: British soldiers fighting savages in thick bush, by Sir E.&nbsp;J. Poynter. Ribbon: Yellow, with black borders, and two narrow black stripes (Plate II.).

This medal was first awarded by Army Order 43, dated June 1, 1874, to “all of Her Majesty’s Forces who have been employed on the Gold Coast during the operations against the King of Ashantee,” and in addition a clasp, “Coomassie,” “in the case of those who were present at Amoaful and the actions between that place and Coomassie (including the capture of the capital), and of those who, during the five days of those actions, were engaged on the north of the Prah in maintaining and protecting the communications of the main army.” In all, with and without the clasp, 11,000 medals were issued for the Ashantee campaign to both Services. Over eighteen years later this same medal was re-issued as a “general service” medal, the award being for operations in Central Africa, and on the East and West Coasts, during the period 1887–92, which were covered by the dated clasps “1887–8,” “1891–2,” and “1892.” As such the issue was continued for operations down to the year 1900, although the official title “West<noinclude>{{EB1911 fine print/e}} {{rule}}{{smallrefs|90%}}</noinclude> gvx1ebjonjxfg7tj0lkkucycri4oymp A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Circassienne, La 0 1503786 12506362 10760036 2022-07-24T12:58:55Z AtticTapestry 974317 Link to WP article wikitext text/x-wiki {{DMM | volume = 1 | contributor = George Grove | previous = Cipriani, Lorenzo | next = Cis | wikipedia = La circassienne | score = | type = work | notes = }} <pages index="A Dictionary of Music and Musicians vol 1.djvu" from=371 to=371 fromsection="Circassienne, La" tosection="Circassienne, La" /> 6mmri8y2a6ovlaaos7nwhwgm40k6epn Page:EB1911 - Volume 19.djvu/335 104 1505584 12507485 9142048 2022-07-24T22:46:57Z DivermanAU 522506 a quick proof proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Slowking4" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|320|NEAL, D.|NEANDER, JOACHIM|  }}</noinclude><section begin="Neagh, Lough" />streams, the river Bann alone carries off its waters, flowing northward. The principal feeders are the Main on the north, the Crumlin (whose waters have petrifying powers) on the east, the Bann and Blackwater on the south, and the Ballinderry and Moyola on the west. Antrim and Toome, at the N.E. and N.W. respectively, are the only towns immediately on the shores. The islands are few and near the shores; namely, Skady Tower on the north, Ram's Island (with a ruined round tower) on the east, Ready and Coney Islands on the southwest. The lough abounds in fish, including gillaroo trout, char and pullen or fresh-water herring. A tradition that the lough rose suddenly from a fountain, inundating a populous district, and that remains of buildings may be seen below the waters, finds place in Thomas Moore's ballad ''Let Erin remember''. <section end="Neagh, Lough" /> <section begin="s2" />'''NEAL, DANIEL''' (1678–1743), English historian, born in London on the 14th of December 1678, was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School, and at the universities of Utrecht and Leiden. In 1704 he became assistant minister, and in 1706 sole minister, of an independent congregation worshipping in Aldersgate Street, and afterwards in Jewin Street, London, where he remained almost until his death on the 4th of April 1743. He married Elizabeth Lardner (d. 1748), by whom he had one son, Nathanael, and two daughters. In 1720 Neal published his History of New England, which obtained for its author the honorary degree of M.A. from Harvard college. He also undertook to assist Dr John Evans in writing a history of Nonconformity. Evans, however, died in 1730, and, making use of his papers for the period before 1640, Neal wrote the whole of the work himself. This History of the Puritans deals with the time between the Reformation and 1689; the first volume appearing in 1732, and the fourth and last in 1738. The first volume was attacked in 1733 for unfairness and inaccuracy by Isaac Maddox, afterwards bishop of St Asaph and of Worcester, to whom Neal replied in a pamphlet, A Review of the principal facts objected to in the first volume of the History of the Puritans; and the remaining volumes by Zachary Grey (1688–1766), to whom the author made no reply. The History of the Puritans was edited, in five volumes, by Dr Joshua Toulmin (1740–1815), who added a life of Neal in 1797. This was reprinted in 1822, and an edition in two volumes was published in New York in 1844. <section end="s2" /> <section begin="s3" />'''NEAL, DAVID DALHOFF''' (1838–{{gap}}), American artist, was born at Lowell, Massachusetts, on the 20th of October 1838. He was a pupil of the Royal Academy, Munich, under Max. E. Ainmiller, whose daughter he subsequently married. Later he entered the studio of Piloty, with whom he remained from 1869 to 1876. His picture, “The First Meeting of Mary Stuart and Rizzio,” won for him the great medal of the Royal Bavarian Academy of Art.

After receiving his earlier education at home he went to Oriel College, Oxford. In 1837 he was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn. He became a member of the Christian Socialists in 1850 and also joined the council of the Society for Promoting Working Men's Associations. His wealth enabled him to carry out experiments in co-operation on a larger scale than had been previously attempted. He founded the first co-operative store in London, and advanced the capital for two builders' associations, both of which failed. In 1851, though strongly opposed by other members of the promoting “Council,” he started on his own initiative the Central Co-operative Agency, similar in many respects to the Co-operative Wholesale Society of a later day. The failure of this scheme, together with that of the operatives cause in the engineering lock-out of 1852 is said to have cost him £40,000. It is certain that until in later life he inherited the estate of Bisham Abbey in Berkshire he was, comparatively speaking, a poor man. He was closely associated with the movement which resulted in the Industrial and Provident Societies Act of 1876, and the passing of the Consolidation Act of 1862 was almost entirely due to his efforts. Besides publishing pamphlets on co-operation he served on the executive committee which afterwards developed into the Central Co-operative Board, and took an active part in the formation of the North of England Co-operative Wholesale Society in 1863. One of the founders of the Cobden mills in 1866, and the Agricultural and Horticultural Association in 1867, he also promoted the annual co-operative congress, afterwards becoming general secretary of the Central Board. He was also a director of the Co-operative Insurance Company and a member of the Co-operative Newspaper Society for many years. He visited America in 1875 with a deputation whose object was to open up a direct trade between the farmers of the western states and the English co-operative stores. After resigning the post of secretary to the congress board in 1891, he became a member of the Oxford University branch of the Christian Social Union. He died on the 16th of September 1892. <section end="s4" /> <section begin="s5" />[[Author:John Mason Neale|'''NEALE, JOHN MASON''']] (1818–1866), English divine and scholar, was born in London on the 24th of January 1818, and was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. Here he was affected by the Oxford movement, and helped to found the Camden (afterwards the Ecclesiological) Society. Though he took orders in 1841, ill-health prevented his settling in England till 1846, when he became warden of Sackville College, an almshouse at East Grinstead, an appointment which he held till his death on the 6th of August 1866. Neale was strongly high-church in his sympathies, and had to endure a good deal of opposition, including a, fourteen years inhibition by his bishop. In 1855 he founded a nursing sisterhood named St Margaret's. He occupies a high place as a hymnologist, but principally as a translator of ancient and medieval hymns, the best known being probably “Brief life is here 'our portion,” “To thee, O dear, dear country,” and “Jerusalem, the golden,” which are included in the poem of Bernard of Cluny, ''De Contemptu Mundi'', translated by him in full. He also published An Introduction to the ''History of the Holy Eastern'' ''Church'' (1850, 2 vols.); ''History of the so-called Jansenist Church of Holland'' (1858); ''Essays on Liturgiology and Church History'' (1863); and many other works. {{EB1911 Fine Print|See ''Life'' by his daughter, Mrs Charles Towle (1907); the Memoir by his friend, R.

Near it is the ruined fortress of Neamtzu, constructed early in the 13th century by the Teutonic knights of Andrew II., king of Hungary, in order to repel the incursions of the Cumanians. An hour's drive to the west of the town is the monastery of Neamtzu, founded in the 14th century, and containing two churches and many ancient and interesting relics. Before the secularization of the monastic lands in 1864, it was one of the richest and most important of the Rumanian monasteries. Baltzatesti, 10 m.

After studying at Heidelberg and Frankfort, where he formed friendships with Friedrich Spanheim (1632–1701) and Philipp Jakob Spener (1635–1705), he settled at Dusseldorf as rector of the Latin school in Connexion with the Reformed Church.

A desire has been expressed that no officers should be appointed to the corps, but that the Volunteers should serve only under direct naval command. Practically, the desire, so strongly felt, has been fulfilled in the arrangements which have actually been made. Whenever called upon to serve afloat, or when embarked for the purpose of training, the Volunteers will be under the command of the officer, commanding the ship, in which they may be. When embarked for their first cruise in the autumn of the present year, the arrangements were, of necessity, experimental and provisional. There was a natural desire on the part of the officer commanding the 'Foam' to meet the wishes of the Volunteers themselves in every possible way, consistent with the efficient performance of the service, and the carrying on of the drills and exercises required. The same considerate spirit will doubtless prevail on all future occasions; but the Volunteers, who make themselves acquainted with the regulations, will clearly perceive that, whenever they embark, they place themselves under direct naval authority; and that, when afloat, their own officers are never to assume any naval command or authority whatever, unless ordered to do so by their superior naval officers. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{sidenotes end}}</noinclude> pcvywywswowtfjy8fp89zept9vric9t Page:The organisation of the Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers explained.djvu/29 104 1593765 12506314 8443280 2022-07-24T12:19:51Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" />{{sidenotes begin}}</noinclude>{{c|{{x-larger|REGULATIONS}} FOR THE {{xx-larger|"ROYAL NAVAL ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS."}} {{rule|10em}} CONSTITUTION AND ESTABLISHMENT.}} {{RL sidenote|Authority}}1. {{sc|The}} "Royal Naval Artillery Volunteers " are raised under the "Royal Naval Artillery Volunteer Act of 1873."

He was wise enough to perceive that his usurped power was lost; and prudently entered into a pacific convention with Santa Anna at Zavaleta in December, 1832. The successful insurgent immediately despatched a vessel for the banished Pedraza, and brought him back to the capital to serve out the remaining three months of his unexpired administration! The object of Santa Anna in restoring Pedraza was not to sustain any one of the old parties which had now become strangely mingled and confused by the factions or ambitions of all the leaders. His main design was to secure the services and influence of the centralists, as far as they were yet available, in controling his election to the presidency upon which he had fixed his heart. On the 16th of May, 1833, he reached the goal of his ambition.<ref>The following letter from Santa Anna to a distinguished foreigner, will afford the reader a specimen of his personal modesty and political humility. The individual to whom it was written, was afterwards expelled by Santa Anna from the republic during his presidency, after having been invited by him to the country: {{right|"{{sc|Vera Cruz}}, October 31th, 1831.}} "{{sc|My Esteemed Friend}}:—I have the pleasure to answer your favor of the 5th ultimo, by which I perceive that my letter of the 9th of April last, came to hand. I have received the prospectus of the "Foreign College" you contemplate to establish, which not only meets with my entire approbation, but, considering your talents and uncommon acquirements, I congratulate you on employing them in a manner so generally useful, and personally honorable. I thank you cordially for the news and observations you have had the kindness to communicate to me, and both make me desire the continuation of your esteemed epistles. ''Retired as I am, on my farm, and there exclusively devoted to the cultivation and improvement of my small estate, I cannot reply, as I desire, to the news with which you have favored me.'' But, even in that retirement, and though separated from the arena of politics, I could never view with indifference any discredit thrown on my country, nor any thing which might, in the smallest degree, possess that tendency. We enjoy at present peace and tranquillity, and I do not know of any other question of public interest now in agitation, than the approaching elections of President and Vice President. When that period shall arrive, should I obtain a majority of suffrages, I am ''ready to accept'' the honor, and to sacrifice, for the benefit of the nation my repose and the charms of private life. ''My fixed system is to be called'' (ser llamado), resembling in this a ''modest maid'' (modesta doncella), ''who rather expects to he desired, than to show herself to be desiring''.

''La requitte'', a wasting blight which affects the maize where it is sown upon poor soil and is subjected to damp, cold weather soon after planting. 2. ''El carbon''—a vegetable fungus growth, resembling carbon or coal, which appears in the ears and destroys them. This abortion in the fruit is believed to be produced by an insect. 3. ''El hanjo''—a species of ''uredo'', which forms itself in the ear and ruins it. The disease is generally known as ''los Cuervos''. The animals and birds that attack corn are: 1. A sort of mole—''talpa''—which undermines the fields and destroy the young plants. 2. The ''larvæ of melolontha'', which not only seize the roots, but often destroy the stalks and ears. 3. Flocks of pilfering birds, with which the corn-fields are covered, if they are not carefully watched during the approach of harvest. Neither day nor night are the ears safe from the attacks of these pilferers; and, in order to protect the crop, watchmen are placed on high stages, overlooking the acres, whence the traveller constantly hears their shouts, during the day, or the crack of the warning whips, during the night. Maize may be planted in Mexico at different periods of the year, especially in those districts in which, for nine months, there is always sufficient moisture. In the ''tierra caliente'', the ''rancheros'', cultivate, in this grain, the best spots lying near their dwellings. In the cooler districts they have two kinds of culture—one by irrigation, and another upon a dry soil. The latter mode is subdivided, by the Mexicans, into three kinds—the ''humido, aventureso, and temporal''. In the first mode of cultivation the ''Maiz tardio'', is sown, and it is usually found to be the most productive. A seeding made in a soil capable of preserving the winter's moisture and the humidity of the first spring rains, is called ''siembra de aventureso''. In the ''temporal'', a quickly ripening species of corn is planted—such as the ''maiz cuarentino''—which may be cultivated either before or during the rainy season, from May to November. It is rare that the common Mexican ''ranchero'' is sufficiently provident to select the soil for his corn crop, with due care; and accordingly we find that maize is often planted in the midst of fields abounding in stiff ungenial clay. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> avuee6feybj2t4vfwnhghlx02xfbxr6 Page:Mexico, Aztec, Spanish and Republican, Vol 2.djvu/170 104 1637746 12506319 7890064 2022-07-24T12:22:49Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 unclosed italics proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="William Maury Morris II" /></noinclude>{{Dhr|3em}} {{c|{{x-larger|{{sp|CHAPTER XII.}}}}}} {{c|{{larger|CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS.}}}} {{Dhr}} {{rule|12em}} {{Dhr}} <div {{ts|aj|sm90|lh12}}> {{hi|VARIOUS CHANGES OF THE MEXICAN CONSTITUTION. — PRESENT ORGANIZATION OF THE NATIONAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS. — CONSTITUTION OF 1847. — LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIARY — NATIONAL AND STATE. — JUDICIARY — ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE — CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PROCESS — MAL-ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. — PRISONS — CRIME — ACCORDADA. — CONDITION OF PRISONS. — STATISTICS OF CRIME IN THE CAPITAL — GARROTTE. — MEXICAN OPINIONS.}}</div> {{sc|Since}} the downfall of Iturbide the body politic of Mexico has passed through many stages of revolutionary and factious disease. Four constitutions have been formed and adopted by the people or their temporary rulers independently of the Bases de Tacubaya, under which Santa Anna ruled despotically until the month of June, 1843. These are the Federal Constitution of 1824; the Bases y Leyes Constitutionales, or, Central Constitution of 1836; the Bases Organicas de la Republica Mejicana of 1843, and the restored Federal Constitution, with amendments by an ''acta de reformas'', in 1847. Five great organic changes, in twenty-six years, have thus continually swayed the people between Federation and Centralism; and we may hope that, after all these vital alterations, besides all the minor military ''pronunciamientos'' or ''gritos'', which, in the intervals have vexed the public tranquillity, the country has, at length settled down firmly upon the reliable basis of a great but balanced confederacy. The Constitution of 1847 creates a Federal Republic; and, with the exception of the intolerant articles in regard to religion upon which we have commented in the preceding chapter, it is a document worthy of freemen who desire to avoid consolidation and are anxious to preserve the distinct, responsible activity of their states.

(See also {{EB1911 article link|Trust|Trust and Trustees}} and {{EB1911 article link|Perpetuity}}.) <section end="s1" /> <section begin="s2" />'''ACCUMULATOR,''' the term applied to a number of devices whose function is to store energy in one form or another, as, for example, the hydraulic accumulator of Lord Armstrong (see {{EB1911 article link|Hydraulics}}, sec. 179). In the present article the term is restricted to its use in electro-technology, in which it describes a special type of battery. The ordinary voltaic cell is made by bringing together certain chemicals, whose reaction maintains the electric currents taken from the cell. When exhausted, such cells can be restored by replacing the spent materials, by a fresh “charge” of the original substances. But in some cases it is not necessary to get rid of the spent materials, because they can be brought back to their original state by forcing a reverse current through the cell. The reverse current reverses the chemical action and re-establishes the original conditions, thus enabling the cell to repeat its electrical work. Cells which can thus be “re-charged” by the action of a reverse current are called accumulators because they “accumulate” the chemical work of an electric current. An accumulator is also known as a “reversible battery,” “storage battery” or “secondary battery.” The last name dates from the early days of electrolysis. When a liquid like sulphuric acid was electrolysed for a moment with the aid of platinum electrodes, it was found that the electrodes could themselves produce a current when detached from the primary battery. Such a current was attributed to an “electric polarization” of the electrodes, and was regarded as having a secondary nature, the implication being that the phenomenon was almost equivalent to a storage of electricity. It is now known that the platinum electrodes stored, not electricity, but the products of electro-chemical decomposition. Hence if the two names, secondary and storage cells, are used, they are liable to be misunderstood unless the interpretation now put on them be kept in mind. “Reversible battery” is an excellent name for accumulators. Sir W. R. Grove first used “polarization” effects in his gas battery, but R. L. G. Planté (1834–1889) laid the foundation of modern methods. That he was clear as to the function of an accumulator is obvious from his declaration that the lead-sulphuric acid cell could retain its charge for a long time, and had the power d’emmagasiner ainsi le travail chimique de la pile voltaique: a phrase whose accuracy could not be excelled. Planté began his work on electrolytic polarization in 1859, his object being to investigate the conditions under which its maximum effects can be produced. He found that the greatest storage and the most useful electric effects were obtained by using lead plates in dilute sulphuric acid. After some “forming” operations described below, he obtained a cell having a high electromotive force, a low resistance, a large capacity and almost perfect freedom from polarization. The practical value of the lead-peroxide-sulphuric-acid cell arises largely from the fact that not only are the active materials (lead and lead peroxide, PbO<sub>2</sub>) insoluble in the dilute acid, but that the sulphate of lead formed from them in the course of discharge is also insoluble. Consequently, it remains fixed in the place where it is formed; and on the passage of the charging current, the original PbO<sub>2</sub> and lead are reproduced in the places they originally occupied. Thus there is no material change in the distribution of masses of active material. Lastly, the active materials are in a porous, spongy condition, so that the acid is within reach of all parts of them. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} <table style="float: right;"><tr><td>&nbsp;[[File:EB1911 Accumulator - Fig 1.png|220px]]</td></tr> <tr><td {{ts|ac}}>{{sc|Fig.}} 1.</td></tr></table> Planté carefully studied the changes which occur in the formation, charge and discharge of the cell. In forming, he placed two sheets of lead in sulphuric acid, separating them by narrow strips of caoutchouc (fig. 1). When a charging current is sent through the cell, the hydrogen liberated at one plate escapes, a small quantity possibly being spent in {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingFine|Planté’s cell.}}}}reducing the surface film of oxide generally found on lead. Some of the oxygen is always fixed on the other (positive) plate, forming a surface film of peroxide. After a few minutes the current is reversed so that the first plate is peroxidized, and the peroxide previously formed on the second plate is reduced to metallic lead in a spongy state. By repeated reversals, the surface of each plate is alternately peroxidized and reduced to metallic lead. In successive oxidations, the action penetrates farther into the plate, furnishing each time a larger quantity of spongy PbO<sub>2</sub> on one plate and of spongy lead on the other. It follows that the duration of the successive charging currents also increases. At the beginning. a few minutes suffice; at the end, many hours are required. After the first six or eight cycles, Planté allowed a period of repose before reversing. He claimed that the PbO<sub>2</sub> formed by reversal after repose was more strongly adherent, and also more crystalline than if no repose were allowed. The following figures show the relative amounts of oxygen absorbed by a given plate in successive charges (between one charge and the next the plate stood in repose for the time stated, then was reduced, and again charged as {{nowrap|anode):—}} {|{{ts|ba|wa|ma|bc|max-width:420px}} cellpadding=1 |-{{ts|ac}} | {{ts|ba}}|Separate Periods<br/>of Repose. || {{ts|ba}}|Charge. || {{ts|ba}}|Relative Amount of<br>Peroxide formed. |- |{{ts|ac}}| . . ||{{ts|bl|br}}|{{em|3}}First || {{em|5}}1·0 |- |{{ts|ac}}| 18 hours ||{{ts|bl|br}}| {{em|3}}Second || {{em|5}}1·57 |- |{{ts|ac}}| &thinsp;2 days ||{{ts|bl|br}}|{{em|3}}Third || {{em|5}}1·71 |- |{{ts|ac}}| &thinsp;4 {{ditto|days}} ||{{ts|bl|br}}|{{em|3}}Fourth || {{em|5}}2·14 |- |{{ts|ac}}| &thinsp;2 {{ditto|days}} ||{{ts|bl|br}}|{{em|3}}Fifth || {{em|5}}2·43 |} and so on for many days (Gladstone and Tribe, Chemistry of Secondary Batteries). Seeing that each plate is in turn oxidized and then reduced, it is evident that the spongy lead will increase at the same rate on the other plate of the cell. The process of “forming” thus briefly described was not continued indefinitely, but only till a fair proportion of the thickness of the plates was converted into the spongy material, PbO<sub>2</sub> and Pb respectively. After this, reversal was not permitted, the cell being put into use and always charged in a given direction. If the process of forming by reversal be continued, the positive plate is ultimately all converted into PbO, and falls to pieces. <table style="float: right;"><tr><td>&nbsp;[[File:EB1911 Accumulator - Fig 2. Tudor positive plate.png|255px]]</td></tr> <tr><td {{ts|ac}}>{{sc|Fig.}} 2.—Tudor positive plate.</td></tr></table> Planté made excellent cells by this method, yet three objections were urged against them. They required too much time to “form”; the spongy masses (PbO<sub>2</sub> more especially) fell off for want of mechanical support, and the separating strips of caoutchouc were not likely to have a long life. The first advance was made by C. A. Faure (1881), who greatly shortened the time required for “forming” by giving the plates a preliminary coating of red lead, whereby the slow process of biting into the metal was avoided. At the first charging, the red lead on the + electrode is changed to PbO<sub>2</sub>, while that on the − electrode is reduced to spongy lead. Thus one continuous operation, lasting perhaps sixty hours, takes the place of many reversals, which, with periods of repose, last as much as three months. Faure used felt as a separating membrane, but its use was soon abolished by methods of construction due to E. Volckmar, J. S. Sellon, J. W. Swan and others. These inventors put the paste not on to plates of lead, but into the holes of a grid, which, when carefully designed, affords good mechanical support to the spongy masses, and does away with the necessity for felt, &c. They are more satisfactory, however, as supporters or spongy lead than of the peroxide, since at the point of contact in the latter case the acid gives rise to a local action, which slowly destroys the grid. Disintegration follows sooner or later, though the best makers are able to defer the failure for a fairly long time. Efforts have been made by A. Tribe, D. G. Fitzgerald and others to dispense with a supporting grid for the positive plate, but these attempts have not yet been successful enough to enable them to compete with the other forms. {{EB1911 fine print/e}} For many years the battle between the “Planté” type and <section end="s2" /><noinclude></noinclude> mop20vq6i562w3fzttxpdaukjpxqwth Page:EB1911 - Volume 01.djvu/158 104 1743960 12507411 11129574 2022-07-24T22:04:50Z DivermanAU 522506 middot for decimals (as printed); adjust image size proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="DivermanAU" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|  |ACCUMULATOR||127}}</noinclude>the Faure or “pasted” type has been one in which the issue was doubtful, but the general tendency is towards a mixed type at the present time.

Increasing emphasis is laid on the purity of the water used to replace that lost by evaporation, distilled water generally being specified. The following descriptions will give a good idea of modern practice. {{clear}} <div style="float:right;">&nbsp;[[File:EB1911 Accumulator - Fig 3. Tudor negative plate.png|250px]]<br>{{em|3}}{{Fs|92%|{{sc|Fig.}} 3.—Tudor negative plate.}}</div> The “chloride cell” has a Planté positive with a pasted negative. For the positive a lead casting is made, about 0·4 inch thick pierced by a number of circular holes about half an inch in diameter. Into each of these holes is thrust a roll or rosette of lead ribbon, which has been cut to the right breadth (equal to the thickness of the {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingSmall|Chloride cell.}}plate), then ribbed or gimped, and finally coiled into a rosette. The rosettes have sufficient spring to fix themselves in the holes of the lead plate, but are keyed in position by a hydraulic press. The plates are then “formed” by passing a current for a long time. In a later pattern a kind of discontinuous longitudinal rib is put in the ribbon, and increases the capacity and life by strengthening the mass without interfering with the diffusion of acid. The negative plate was formerly obtained by reducing pastilles of lead chloride, but by a later mode of construction it is made by casting a grid with thin vertical ribs, connected horizontally by small bars of triangular section. The bars on the two faces are “staggered,” that is, those on one face are not opposite those on the other. The grid is pasted with a lead oxide paste and afterwards reduced; this is known as the “exide” negative. {{clear}} {{center|[[File:EB1911 Accumulator - Figs 4, 5, 6.png]]<br />{{em|2.5}}{{Fs|92%|{{sc|Fig.}} 4.{{em|13}}{{sc|Fig.}} 5.{{em|13}}{{sc|Fig.}} 6}}}} The larger sizes of negative plate are of a “box” type, formed by riveting together two grids and filling the intervening space with paste. A feature of the “chloride” cells is the use of separators made of thin sheets of specially prepared wood. These prevent short circuits arising from scales of active material or from the formation of “trees” of lead which sometimes grow across in certain forms of battery. The Tudor cell has positives formed of lead plates cast in one piece with a large surface of thin vertical ribs, intersected at intervals by horizontal ribs to give the plates strength to withstand buckling in both directions (fig. 2). The thickness of the plates is about 0·4 inch, and the developed surface is about eight times that of a smooth plate of the same {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingSmall|Tudor cell.}}size. A thoroughly adherent and homogeneous coating of peroxide of lead is formed on this large surface by an improved Planté process. The negative plate (fig. 3) is composed of two grids riveted together to form a shallow box; the outer surfaces are smooth sheets pierced with many small holes. The space between them is intersected by ribs and pasted (before riveting). {{center|[[File:EB1911 Accumulator - Fig 7.png|350px]]<br />{{Fs|92%|{{sc|Fig.}} 7.}}}} Many of the E.P.S. cells, made by the Electrical Power Storage Company, are of the Faure or pasted type, but the Planté formation is used for the positives of two kinds of cell. The paste for the positive plates is a mixture of red lead with sulphuric acid; for the negative plates, litharge is substituted for red lead. Figs. 4 and {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingSmall|E.P.S. cell.}}5 roughly represent the grids employed for the negative and positive plates respectively of a type used for lighting. Fig. 6 is the cross section of the casting used for the Planté positive of the larger cells for rapid discharge. Finer indentations on the side expose a large surface.

The plates hang by side lugs on glass slats, and are separated by three rows of glass tubes {{nowrap|{{EB1911 tfrac|3|8}} inch}} diameter (fig. 8). The tubes rest in grooved teak wood blocks placed at the bottom of the glass boxes. The blocks also serve as base for a skeleton framework of the {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingSmall|Hart cell.}}same material which surrounds and supports the section. Of course the wood has to be specially treated to withstand the acid. A special non-corrosive terminal is used. A coned bolt draws the lug ends of adjacent cells together, fitting in a corresponding tapered hole in the lugs, and thus increasing the contact area. The positive and negative tapers being different, a cell cannot be connected up in the wrong way. In America, in addition to some of the cells already described, there are types which are not found in England. Two may be described. The Gould cell is of the Planté type. A special effort is made to reduce local and other deleterious action by starting with perfectly homogeneous plates. They are {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingSmall|Gould cell.}}formed from sheet lead blanks by suitable machines, which gradually raise the surface into a series of ribs and grooves. The sides and middle of the blank are left untouched and amply suffice to distribute the current over the surface of the plate. The grooves are very fine, and when the active material is formed in them by electro-chemical action, they hold it very securely. The Hatch cell has its positive enclosed in an envelope.

As more nanomaterials are introduced into the workplace and nano-enabled products enter the market, it is essential that producers and users of engineered nanomaterials ensure a safe and healthy work environment. The toxicity of nanoparticles may be affected by different physicochemical properties, including size, shape, chemistry, surface properties, agglomeration, biopersistence, solubility, and charge, as well as effects from attached functional groups and crystalline structure. The greater surface-area-to-mass ratio of nanoparticles makes them generally more reactive than their macro-sized counterparts. These properties are the same ones that make nanomaterials unique and valuable in manufacturing many products. Though human health effects from exposure have not been reported, a number of laboratory animal studies have been conducted. Pulmonary inflammation has been observed in animals exposed to nano-sized TiO2 and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Other studies have shown that nanoparticles can translocate to the circulatory system and to the brain causing oxidative stress. Of concern is the finding that certain types of CNTs have shown toxicological response similar to asbestos in mice. These animal study results are examples, and further toxicological studies need to be conducted to establish the potential health effects to humans from acute and chronic exposure to nanomaterials. Currently, there are no established regulatory occupational exposure limits (OELs) for nanomaterials in the United States; however, other countries have established standards for some nanomaterials, and some companies have supplied OELs for their products. In 2011, NIOSH issued a recommended exposure limit (REL) for ultrafine (nano) titanium dioxide and a draft REL for carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers. Because of the lack of regulatory standards and formal recommendations for many nanomaterials in the United States, it is difficult to determine or even estimate a safe exposure level. Many of the basic methods of producing nanomaterials occur in an enclosure or reactor, which may be operated under positive pressure. Exposure can occur due to leakage from the reactor or when a worker’s activities involve direct manipulation of nanomaterials. Batchtype processes involved in the production of nanomaterials include operating reactors, mixing, drying, and thermal treatment. Exposure-causing activities at production plants and laboratories employing nanomaterials include harvesting (e.g., scraping materials out of reactors), bagging, packaging, and reactor cleaning. Downstream activities that may release nanomaterials include bag dumping, manual transfer between processes, mixing or compounding, powder sifting, and machining of parts that contain nanomaterials.<noinclude>{{rule}} {{rh/2|iv|Current Strategies for Engineering Controls in '''Nanomaterial Production and Downstream Handling Processes'''}}</noinclude> 0otlsedz7kci8lz9km594oj9jdi48i6 Page:Current Strategies for Engineering Controls in Nanomaterial Production and Downstream Handling Processes.pdf/95 104 1754407 12506340 11519893 2022-07-24T12:40:26Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Kathleen.wright5" /></noinclude> {{block center| [[File:Niosh Logo.jpg|200px]]<br /> '''''Delivering on the Nation’s promise:<br />safety and health at work for all people<br />through research and prevention'''' To receive NIOSH documents or more information about occupational safety and health topics, contact NIOSH: '''1–800–CDC–INFO''' (1–800–232–4636)<br /> TTY: 1–888–232–6348<br /> E-mail: cdcinfo@cdc.gov or visit the NIOSH Web site at '''http://www.cdc.gov/niosh.'''

The {{sc|Alban Lake}}, or {{sc|Lago di Castello}}, is formed in the basin of an extinct volcano, and has a circumference of 6 miles, with a depth of 530 feet. Its surface is 961 feet above the sea-level. While the Romans were at war with Veii (390 {{asc|B. C.}}), this lake rose to an extraordinary height in the heat of summer, and diviners declared that the conquest of Veii depended upon letting off the waters of the lake. Hereupon the Romans opened a tunnel through the lava-walls which still remains and still fulfills its ancient office, is a mile in length, with a height of 7 feet, and a width of 4 feet. On the eastern bank of the lake rises Monte Cavo, the ancient Mount Albanus, 3,000 feet high. <section end="Albano" /><section begin="Alban's, St." /> '''ALBAN'S, ST.,''' a small and ancient borough of England, Hertfordshire, 20 miles N. N. W. of London, by the London and Northwestern railway. It is the ancient Roman Verulamium. The abbey church was built in 796, in honor of St. Alban, by the King Offa. Of this first abbey there remains but a gateway. The present abbey is an object worthy the attention of the antiquarian and the student of architecture. It is built in the form of a cross, running 547 feet from east to west, and having a breadth of 206 feet, at the intersection of the transept. Every style of architecture, from the time of the Romans to that of Henry VII., may be traced in it. Near the town of St. Alban's, two battles were fought between the houses of York and Lancaster. In the first, May 22, 1455, Richard, Duke of York, obtained a victory over Henry VI. In the second, Feb. 2, 1461, Margaret of Anjou defeated the army of the Yorkists, commanded by Warwick. <section end="Alban's, St." /><section begin="Albany (Alabama)" /> '''ALBANY,''' a city of Alabama, formerly known as New Decatur.

Proceeding northwards, she arrived at the district of Matsura in the Land of Hizen, and partook of food on the bank of the river Wogawa,<ref>Little river.</ref> in the village of Tamashima. Here the Empress bent a needle, and made of it a hook. She took grains of rice and used them as bait. Pulling out the threads of her garment, she made of them a line. Then mounting upon a stone in the middle of the {{MarginNote|margin=right|margin-width=65|text={{color|green|(IX. 5.)&nbsp;}}}}river, and casting the hook, she prayed, saying:—"We are proceeding westward, where we desire to gain possession of the Land of Treasure. If we are to succeed, let the fish of the river bite the hook." Accordingly, raising up her fishing-rod, she caught a trout. Then the Empress said:—"It is a strange thing." Wherefore the men of the day called that place the Land of Medzura. The present name Matsura<ref>Medzurashiki means "strange." Matsura is really Matsu-ura, fir-bay.</ref> is a corruption of this. For this reason, whenever the 1st decade of the 4th month comes round, the women of that land take hooks, which they cast into the river and catch trout—a custom which has not ceased unto this day.

This having been done, the Empress knew that there was virtue in the teaching of the Gods, and she made sacrifice anew to the Gods of Heaven and Earth. As it was her purpose in person to chastise the West, she set apart a sacred rice-field, and tilled it. Then, in order to divert water from the Naka-gaha with which to irrigate it, she dug a channel as far as the Hill of Todoroki. But a great rock stood in the way, and she was unable to pierce a channel through it. Then the Empress sent for Takechi no Sukune, and offering a sword and a mirror made him pray to the Gods of Heaven and Earth, and ask them to allow the channel to be completed.

After several days he returned, and said:—"To the north-west, there is a mountain girt with clouds and extending crosswise. This is perhaps a country." Hereupon a lucky day was fixed upon by divination. There was yet an interval before they should set out. Then the Empress in person, grasping her battle-axe, commanded the three divisions of her army, saying:—"If the drums are beaten out of time, and the signal-flags are waved confusedly, order cannot be preserved among the troops: if greedy of wealth, and eager for much, you cherish self and have regard for your own interests, you will surely be taken prisoners by the enemy. Despise not the enemy, though his numbers may be few; shrink not from him, though his numbers may be many. Spare not the violent, slay not the submissive. There will surely be rewards for those who ultimately conquer in battle, and of course punishments for those who turn their backs and flee." After this a God gave instructions, saying:—"A gentle spirit will attach itself to the Empress's person, and keep watch over her life: a rough spirit will form the vanguard, and be a {{MarginNote|margin=right|margin-width=65|text={{color|green|(IX. 8.)&nbsp;}}}}guide to the squadron."

Is it possible that the term of existence granted to it by Heaven has expired, and that our country is to become a part of the ocean?" Scarce had he spoken when a warlike fleet overspread the sea. Their banners were resplendent in the sunlight. The drums and fifes raised up their voices, and the mountains and rivers all thrilled to the sound. The King of Silla beholding this from afar felt that his country was about to be destroyed by this extraordinary force, and was terrified out of his senses. But presently coming to himself, he said:—"I have heard that in the East there is a divine country named Nippon, and also that there is there a wise sovereign called the Tennō. This divine force must belong to that country. How {{MarginNote|margin=right|margin-width=65|text={{color|green|(IX. 10.)&nbsp;}}}}could we resist them by force of arms?" So he took a white flag, and of his own accord rendered submission, tying his hands behind his back with a white rope. He sealed up the maps and registers, and going down before the Royal vessel bowed his head to the ground, and said:—"Henceforward, as long as Heaven and Earth endure, we will obediently act as thy forage-providers. Not allowing the helms of our ships to become dry, every spring and every autumn we will send tribute of horse-combs and whips. And, without thinking the sea-distance a trouble, we will pay annual dues of male and female slaves." He confirmed this by repeated oaths, saying:—"When the sun no longer rises in the East, but comes forth<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> j232yt13pygaydi10ejuf0eima9zam6 Page:Nihongi by Aston.djvu/262 104 1778878 12506728 6621480 2022-07-24T15:49:11Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh||{{sc|Jingō}}.|231}}</noinclude>in the West; when the River Arinare<ref>Supposed to be the Am-nok-kang.</ref> turns its course backward, and when the river pebbles ascend and become stars—if before this we fail to pay homage every spring and every autumn, or neglect to send tribute of combs and whips, may the Gods of Heaven and Earth both together punish us." Then someone said:—"Let us put to death the King of Silla." Hereupon the Empress said:—"When I first received the Divine instructions, promising to bestow on me the Land of Gold and Silver, I gave orders to the three divisions of the army, saying:—'Slay not the submissive.' Now that we have taken the Land of Treasure, and its people have freely offered submission, it would be unlucky to slay them."

Accordingly interior Governments were instituted. This is what is termed the three Han.<ref>Corea at one time was divided into three kingdoms, called Ma-han, Sin-han, and Pyön-han, corresponding respectively to Pèkché, Silla, and Koryö.

I think it possible that it means bear (in Corean kom), and that the Koma of Corea and the Kuma of Japan were the same race—like the Saxons of Germany and the Saxons of England. Parker, in the article just referred to (p. 216), suggests that Koma was really a part of Pèkché, and not Koryö. The town of Koma or Kuma was certainly in Pèkché territory, and was for a while the capital. But I cannot think that the Japanese could have been mistaken on this point. They were far too well acquainted with Corean matters, and with them Koryö and Koma are the same thing. It is probable nevertheless that Koma or Kumanari was at some time the seat of the race of that name, as Kumamoto in Japan was of the Japanese Kuma. It is now Ung-chhön (bear-river), near the mouth of the R. Nak-tong, and a convenient port for crossing over to Japan. {{nop}} Pèkché, known to the Japanese as Kudara, was the S.-W. kingdom of Corea.</ref> {{nop}}<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> pppj64svhbcsmyzfq1a0v6jaz2b76a3 Page:Nihongi by Aston.djvu/264 104 1778885 12506757 8226201 2022-07-24T16:08:28Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh||{{sc|Jingō}}.|233}}</noinclude>{{quote/s}} {{MarginNote|margin=right|margin-width=65|text={{color|green|(IX. 13.)&nbsp;}}}}One version says:—"When the Emperor Tarashi-nakatsu-hiko dwelt in the palace of Kashihi in Tsukushi, there were Deities who spake by the mouth of Uchi-saru-taka, Kuni-saru-taka, and Matsu-ya-tane, ancestors of the Agata-nushi of Saha, and admonished the Emperor, saying:—'If the august descendant wishes to gain the Land of Treasure, we will presently bestow it on him.' So on a later day, a lute was brought and given to the Empress. And the Empress played upon the lute, in accordance with the word of the Gods. Hereupon the Gods spake by the mouth of the Empress, and admonished the Emperor, saying:—'The land which the august descendant wishes for is, as it were, a stag's horn, and not a real country.

Accordingly she stationed there one man as Governor of Silla, and departed. Afterwards, the wife of the Prince of Silla, not knowing where the body of her husband was buried, all by herself conceived the thought of deluding the Governor. So, enticing him, she said:—'If thou wilt let me know the place where the Prince's body is buried, I will surely reward thee liberally, and will become thy wife.' Hereupon the Governor believed these deluding words, and secretly made known to her the place where the body was buried. Then the Prince's wife and the people of the country, having consulted together, slew the Governor, and having disinterred the Prince's body, buried it in another place. Then they took the Governor's body, and buried it in the earth under the Prince's tomb, and taking up the coffin, deposited it on the top of the Governor's body, saying:—'This is as it ought necessarily to be, according to the order of things exalted and things base.'

Having assembled, they consulted together, and slew the Prince's wife by way of apology for their crime."<ref>The "Tongkam," Vol. III. p. 21, has the following under the date {{asc|A.D.}} 249, Summer, 4th month:—"The Was invaded Silla, and killed Uro. Before this the Was had sent Kalyako as Ambassador to Silla. The King made Uro entertain him. Uro said, jesting:—"Sooner or later we shall make your King our salt-slave, and your Queen our cook-wench." When the King of Wa heard this, he sent his General Uto-chiu to invade Silla. The King went out and dwelt at Yuchhon. Uro said:—"To-day's attack is owing to the words of thy servant. I pray thee let me deal with it." So he went eventually to the Wa army, and said:—"My words on a former day were a jest, and nothing more. Who would have thought that war should be waged, and that things should come to this extremity?" The men of Wa took him, and made a pile of firewood, on which they burnt him to death, and then went away. Afterwards an Ambassador came from Wa. Uro's wife begged leave from the King to entertain him on her own score. Accordingly she made the Ambassador drunk, seized him, and burnt him. The Was, enraged at this, besieged Keumsyöng,{{ref|*}} but had to retire unsuccessful." {{nop}} Notwithstanding the difference of date—{{asc|A.D.}} 200 and {{asc|A.D.}} 249—and other discrepancies, I believe these two narratives relate to the same events. The Prince Urusohorichiu of the Japanese account is the Uro of the Corean history. The word which I have translated Prince is {{lang|zh|王}}, which might also be rendered King. But there is no King of this name in Corean history, and, as appears from a Corean authority quoted in the "Ishōnihonden," XIV. 11, Syök Uro was the son of King Nahè of Silla. The "Tongkam" relates several other events of his life, among others his appointment as Sö-pul-han (or Sö-pul-ya), whence probably the sohori of the name given him in the Japanese narrative. {{nop}} Kalyako is no doubt the same person as the Katsuraki no Sotsu-hiko mentioned below as having been sent on a mission to Silla. Kal is written {{lang|zh|葛}}, which is katsura in Japanese. {{nop}} In "Early Japanese History" I have given reasons for thinking that, for this period, Corean history is much more in accordance with facts than that of Japan. {{rule}} {{c|{{note|*}} The Silla capital.}}</ref> {{quote/e}} Hereupon the three Gods who accompanied the expedition, viz.

Now in Spring, the second month of the year following the expedition against Silla, the Empress removed with her ministers and functionaries to the palace of Toyora in Anato, where she took up the Emperor's remains, and proceeded towards the capital by the sea-route. Now Prince Kakosaka and Prince Oshikuma, hearing of the Emperor's decease, as well as of the Empress's expedition to the West, and of the recent birth of an Imperial Prince, plotted secretly, saying:—"The Empress has now a child, and all the ministers obey her. They will certainly consult together and establish an infant sovereign. But shall we, the elders, obey our younger brother?" So, pretending that it was in order to build a misasagi for the Emperor, they went to Harima, and raised a misasagi at Akashi.<ref>Two or three miles to the east of Maiko, on the bluff above the village of West Tarumi, there is a very large double mound, which local tradition has associated with the name of Chiuai Tennō.

Having consulted with her Ministers, she at length desired to attack Prince Oshikuma, and removed to the Palace of Shinu. It so happened that at this time the day was dark like night. Many days passed in this manner, and the men of that time said:—"This is the Eternal Night." The Empress inquired of Toyomimi, the ancestor of the Atahe of Ki, saying:—"Wherefore is this omen?" Then there was an old man who said:—"I have heard by tradition that this kind of omen is called Atsunahi no tsumi."<ref>The calamity of there being no sun.</ref> She inquired:—"What does it mean?"

The priest of Amano wept and wailed, saying:—'We have been friends together since our birth. Why in our death should there not be the same grave for both?' So he lay down beside the corpse and died of himself, so that they were buried together. This is perhaps the reason." So they opened the tomb, and on examination found that it was true. Therefore they again changed their coffins and interred them separately, upon which the sunlight shone forth, and there was a difference between day and night. 3rd month, 5th day.

Upon this, Takechi no Sukune commanded the three divisions of his army to produce their spare bow-strings, and to string their bows again, and, girt with their real swords, to advance across the river.

So he withdrew his forces and gradually retreated. Then Takechi no Sukune sent forth his choice troops and pursued him, and having come up to him just at Afusaka, put him to the rout.

They also made a straw figure which they put in Mi-cheul Hö-chi's berth, and making it appear like a sick man, they informed Sotsuhiko, saying:—"Mi-cheul Hö-chi has taken suddenly ill, and is on the point of death." Sotsuhiko sent men to nurse him, and so discovered the deception. Having seized the three Silla envoys, he placed them in a cage which he burnt with fire and so killed them.

Before this time men of Pèkché had gone to the Wa country, and made a false report, saying:—'Silla and Kokuryö are about to plot together to attack Wa.' The Lord at length sent troops to guard the frontier. And when Kokuryö, having invaded Silla, slew those guards also, the Lord of Wa believed that the story told by the Pèkché men was true. But when he heard that the King of Silla had imprisoned the family of Misăheun and Ché-syang, he thought that Ché-syang was really a rebel. Hereupon he sent forth an army in order to attack Silla, and made Ché-syang and Misăheun guides. Coming to an island in the sea, all the generals consulted secretly how they should destroy Silla and return with Ché-syang and Misăheun's wives and children. Ché-syang, knowing this, sailed with Misăheun every day in a boat, under the pretence of making pleasure excursions. The Was had no suspicion. Ché-syang advised Misăheun to return secretly to his country. Misăheun said:—'How could I have the heart to abandon thee, my lord, and return alone?' Ché-syang said:—'Supposing that I succeed in saving my Prince's life, and thus gratify the feelings of the Great King, it will be enough{{SIC|,|.}} Why should I be so fond of living?' Misăheun wept, and taking his leave, made his escape back to his country. Ché-syang alone slept in the boat. He got up towards evening and waited until Misăheun was far on his way. The Was, when they found that Misăheun had disappeared, bound Ché-syang, and pursued Misăheun, but mist and darkness coming on, they could not overtake him. The Lord of Wa was enraged. He flung Ché-syang into prison, and questioned him, saying:—'Why didst thou secretly send away Misăheun?' Ché-syang said:—'As a subject of Kélin (Silla), I simply wished to carry out the desires of my Lord.' The Lord of Wa was wroth, and said:—'As thou hast now become a vassal of mine, if thou callest thyself a vassal of Kélin, thou shalt surely be subjected to the five punishments. But if thou callest thyself a vassal of the Wa country, I will certainly reward thee liberally.' Ché-syang said:—'I had rather be a puppy-dog of Kélin, than a vassal of the Wa country. I had rather be flogged in Kélin than have dignities and revenues in the Wa country.' The Lord of Wa was wroth. He flayed Ché-syang's feet, cut sedge, and made him walk on it (perhaps on the stubble left after the sedge was cut). Then he asked him, saying:—'Of what country art thou the vassal?' He said:—'The vassal of Kélin.' He also made him stand on hot iron, and asked him:—'Of what country art thou the vassal?' He said:—'The vassal of Kélin.' The Lord of Wa, seeing that he could not bend him, put him to death by burning. {{nop}} The King, hearing of this at the island of Mokto, was much grieved, and conferred on Ché-syang the posthumous title of Great Ason.

This is a long ballad of 67 four-line stanzas, part of which (including the Winkelried section) is found in the additions made between 1531 and 1545 to Etterlin’s chronicle by H. Berlinger of Basel, and the whole in Werner Steiner's chronicle (written 1532). It is agreed on all sides that the last stanza, attributing the authorship to Halbsuter of Lucerne, "as he came back from the battle," is a very late addition. Many authorities regard it as made up of three distinct songs (one of which refers to the battle and Winkelried), possibly put together by the younger Halbsuter (citizen of Lucerne in 1435, died between 1470 and 1480), though others contend that the Sempach-Winkelried section bears clear traces of having been composed after the Reformation began, that is, about 1520 or 1530. Some recent discoveries have proved that certain statements in the song usually regarded as anachronisms are quite accurate; but no nearer approach has been made towards fixing its exact date, or that of any of the three bits into which it has been cut up. In this song the story appears in its full-blown shape, the name of Winckelriet being given. 3. ''Lists of those who fell at Sempach''.—We find in the "Anniversary Book" of Emmetten in Unterwalden (drawn up in 1560) the name of "der Winkelriedt" at the head of the Nidwalden men, and in a book by Horolanus, a pastor at Lucerne (about 1563), that of "Erni Winckelried" occurs some way down the list of Unterwalden men. 4. ''Pictures and Drawings''.—In the MS. of the chronicle of Diebold Schilling of Bern (''c''. 1480) there is in the picture of the battle of Sempach a warrior pierced with spears falling to the ground, which may possibly be meant for Winkelried; while in that of Diebold Schilling of Lucerne (1511), though in the text no allusion is made to any such incident, there is a similar picture of a man who has accomplished Winkelried's feat, but he is dressed in the colours of Lucerne. Then there is an engraving in Stumpf's chronicle (1548), and, finally, the celebrated one by Hans Rudolf Manuel (1551), which follows the chronicle of 1476 rather than the ballad. The story seems to have been first questioned about 1850 by Moritz von Stürler of Bern, but the public discussion of the subject originated with a lecture by O. Lorenz on ''Leopold III. und die Schweizer Bünde'', which he delivered in Vienna on March 21, 1860. This began the lively paper war humorously called "the second war of Sempach," in which the Swiss (with but rare exceptions) maintained the historical character of the feat against various foreigners—Austrians and others. Most of the arguments against the genuineness of the story have been already more or less directly indicated, (1) There is the total silence of all the old Swiss and Austrian chroniclers until 1538, with the solitary exception of the Zurich chronicle of 1476 (and this while they nearly all describe the battle in more or less detail). The tale, as told in the 1476 chronicle, is clearly an interpolation, for it comes immediately after a distinct statement that "God had helped the Confederates, and that with great labour they had defeated the knights and Duke Leopold," while the passage immediately following joins on to the former quite naturally if we strike out the episode of the “true man,” who is not even called Winkelried. (2) The date of the ballad is extremely uncertain, but cannot be placed earlier than at least 60 or 70 years after the battle, possibly 130 or 140, so that its claims to be regarded as embodying an oral contemporary tradition are of the slightest. (3) Similar feats have been frequently recorded, but in each case they are supported by authentic evidence which is lacking in this case. Five cases at least are known: a follower of the count of Hapsburg, in a skirmish with the Bernese in 1271; Stülinger of Ratisbon (Regensburg) in 1332, in the war of the count of Kyburg against the men of Bern and Solothurn; Conrad Royt of Lucerne, at Nancy in 1477; Henri Wolleben, at Frastanz in 1499, in the course of the Swabian War; and a man at the battle of Kappel in 1531 (4) It is argued that the course of the battle was such that there was little or no chance of such an act being performed, or, if performed, of having turned the day. This argument rests on the careful critical narrative of the fight constructed by Herr Kleissner and Herr Hartmann from the contemporary accounts which have come down to us, in which the pride of the knights, their heavy armour, the heat of the July sun, the panic which befell a sudden part of the Austrian army, added to the valour of the Swiss fully explain the complete rout. Herr Hartmann, too, points out that, even if the knights (on foot) had been ranged in serried ranks, there must have been sufficient space left between them to allow them to move their arms, and therefore that no man, however gigantic he might have been, could have seized hold of more than half a dozen spears at once. Herr K. Bürkli (''Der wahre Winkelried'',—''die Taktik der alten Urschweizer'', Zürich, 1886) has put forth a theory of the battle which is, he allows, opposed to all modern accounts, but entirely agrees, he strongly maintains, with the contemporary authorities. According to this the fight was not a pitched battle but a surprise, the Austrians not having had time to form up into ranks. Assuming this, and rejecting the evidence of the 1476 chronicle as an interpolation and full of mistakes, and that of the song as not proved to have been in existence before 1531, Herr Bürkli comes to the startling conclusion that the phalanx formation of the Austrians, as well as the name and act of Winkelried, have been transferred to Sempach from the fight of Bicocca, near Milan (April 27, 1522), where a real leader of the Swiss mercenaries in the pay of France, Arnold Winkelried, really met his death in very much the way that his namesake perished according to the story. Herr Bürkli confines his criticism to the first struggle, in which alone mention is made of the driving back of the Swiss, pointing out also that the chronicle of 1476 and other later accounts attribute to the Austrians the manner of attack and the long spears which were the special characteristics of Swiss warriors, and that if Winkelried were a knight (as is asserted by Tschudi) he would have been clad in a coat of mail, or at least had a breastplate, neither of which could have been pierced by hostile lances. Whatever may be thought of this daring theory, it seems clear that, while there is some doubt as to whether such an act as Winkelried’s was possible at Sempach, taking into account the known details of the battle, there can be none as to the utter lack of any early and trustworthy evidence in support of his having performed that act in that battle. It is quite conceivable that such evidence may later come to light; for the present it is wanting. {{sc|Authorities}}.—See in particular Theodor von Liebenau’s ''Die Schlacht bei Sempach''—''Gedenkbuch zur fünften Säcularfeier'' (1886), published at the expense of the government of Lucerne. This contains every mention or description of the battle or of anything relating to it, published or unpublished, in prose or in verse, composed within 300 years after the battle, and is a most marvellous and invaluable collection of original materials, in which all the evidence for Winkelried's deed has been brought together in a handy shape. Besides the works mentioned in the text, and the life of Winkelried by W Oechsli in vol. liii. of the ''Allgemeine deutsche Biographie'', the following are the most noteworthy publications relating to this controversy. In support of Winkelried's act: G. v . Wyss, ''Über eine Zürcher-Chronik aus dem 15ten Jahrhundert'' (Zürich, 1862); A. Daguet, “La Question de Winkelried,” in the ''Musée Neuchâtelois'' for December 1853; G. H. Ochsenbein, "Die Winkelriedfrage," in the ''Sonntagsblatt'' of the ''Bund'' newspaper for January and February 1879; A. Bernoulli, ''Winkelrieds That bei Sempach'' (Basel, 1886); W. Oechsli, ''Zur Sempacher Schlachtfeier'' (Zürich, 1886); E. Secretan, ''Sempach et Winkelried'' (Lausanne, 1886), and the summary in K. Dändliker’s larger ''Geschichte der Schweiz'', i. 550-559 (3rd ed., Zürich, 1893). Against Winkelried's claims we have the remarkable study of O. Kleissner, ''Die Quellen zur Sempacher Schlacht und die Winkelriedsage'' (Göttingen, 1873); O.

It is situated at the junction of the Assiniboine and Red rivers in the middle of a wide plain. The river valley, being of exceptional richness, early attracted the traders, and so in the beginning of the 19th century gained the attention of Lord Selkirk, a benevolent Scottish nobleman who sent out in 1811–1815 several hundreds of Highland settlers. On the site at the junction of the two rivers where Verandreye, the first white explorer to visit the Red river, had three-quarters of a century before this time erected Fort Rouge, and where some ten years earlier in the century the Nor’-Westers of Montreal had erected Fort Gibraltar, the Hudson’s Bay Company, which at the time Lord Selkirk and his friends controlled, erected Fort Douglas, bearing the family name of the colonizer. After bloodshed between the rival fur companies, and their union in 1821, Fort Garry was erected, as a trading post and settlers' depot, and with somewhat elaborate structure, with stone walls, bastions and portholes. Fort Garry (2) was erected at a considerable cost in 1835. A short distance north of this fort, about the year 1860, the first house on the plain was erected, and to the hamlet rising there was given the name of the lake 45 m. north, Winnipeg (Cree, ''Win'', murky, ''nipiy'', water). The name referred to the contrast between its water and that of the transparent lakes to the east. For ten years the hamlet grew—though very slowly, it being more than four hundred miles from St Paul, the nearest town in Minnesota, to the south. The fur-traders did not seek to increase its size. When the transfer of Rupert’s Land took place to Canada in 1870, the governor of Assiniboia had his residence at Fort Garry, and here was the centre of government for the settlers over the area surrounding Fort Garry. Its acquisition by Canada and the influx of settlers from Eastern Canada led to the greater importance of Winnipeg, as the new town was now generally called. The establishment of Dominion government agencies, the formation of a local government, the machinery required for the government of the province, the influx of a small army of surveyors who mapped out and surveyed wide districts of the country, and the taking up of<section end="Winnipeg (city)" /><noinclude></noinclude> rgagm7ph733ra9diezkcpz32yyiyvkn Page:EB1911 - Volume 24.djvu/400 104 1789419 12506316 12363153 2022-07-24T12:21:08Z DivermanAU 522506 diereses in Göttingen proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="DivermanAU" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|382|SCHÜCKING|SCHULTZ|  }}</noinclude><section begin="s1" />{{EB1911 fine print/s}} Like Mozart, whose influence over him was always considerable, he wrote nearly all the finest of his compositions in the last ten years of his life. His early symphonies, his early quartets, even his early masses, are too much affected by a traditional style to establish an enduring reputation. It is unfair to call them imitative, but at the time when he wrote them he was saturated with Mozart, and early Beethoven, and he spoke what was in his mind with a boy’s frankness. The Andante of the Tragic Symphony (No. 4) strikes a more distinctive note, but the fifth is but a charming adaptation of a past idiom, and the sixth, on which Schubert himself placed little value, shows hardly any appreciable advance. It is a very different matter when we come to the later works. The piano quintet in A major (1819) may here be taken as the turning-point; then come the Unfinished Symphony, which is pure Schubert in every bar; the three quartets in A minor, D minor, and G major, full of romantic colour; the delightful piano trios; the great string quintet; and the C major symphony which, though diffuse, contains many passages of surprising beauty. Every one of them is a masterpiece, and a masterpiece such as Schubert alone could have written. The days of brilliant promise were over and were succeeded by the days of full and mature achievement. His larger operas are marred both by their inordinate length and by their want of dramatic power. The slighter comedies are pretty and tuneful, but, except as curiosities, are not likely to be revived. We may, however, deplore the fate which has deprived the stage of the Rosamunde music. It is in Schubert’s best vein; the entractes, the Romance, and the ballets are alike excellent, and it is much to be hoped that a poet will some day arise and fit the music to a new play. Of his pianoforte compositions, the sonatas, as might be expected, are the least enduring, though there is not one of them which does not contain some first-rate work. On the other hand his smaller pieces, in which the lyric character is more apparent, are throughout interesting to play and extremely pleasant to hear. He developed a special pianoforte technique of his own not always “orthodox,” but always characteristic. A special word should be added on his fondness for piano duets, a form which before his time had been rarely attempted. Of these he wrote a great many—fantasias, marches, polonaises, variations—all bright and melodious with sound texture and a remarkable command of rhythm. His concerted pieces for the voice are often extremely difficult, but they are of a rare beauty which would well repay the labour of rehearsal. The 23rd psalm (for female voices) is exquisite; so are the ''Gesang der Geister'', the ''Nachthalle'', the ''Nachtgesang im Walde'' (for male voices and horns), and that “dewdrop of celestial melody” which Novello has published with English words under the title of “Where Thou Reignest.” Among all Schubert’s mature works there are none more undeservedly neglected than these. Of the songs it is impossible, within the present limits, to give even a sketch. They number over 600, excluding scenes and operatic pieces, and they contain masterpieces from the beginning of his career to the end. ''Gretchen am Spinnrade'' was written when he was seventeen, ''Erlkönig'' when he was eighteen; then there follows a continuous stream which never checks or runs dry, and which broadens as it flows to the ''Müllerlieder'', the Scott songs, the <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed red;" title="amended from 'Shakesperian'">Shakespearean</span> songs, the ''Winterreise'', and the ''Schwanengesang''. He is said to have been undiscriminating in his choice of words. Schumann declared that “he could set a handbill to music,” and there is no doubt that he was inspired by any lyric which contained, though even in imperfect expression, the germ of a poetic idea. But his finest songs are almost all to fine poems. He set over 70 of Goethe’s, over 60 of Schiller’s; among the others are the names of Shakespeare and Scott, of Schlegel and Rückert, of Novalis and Wilhelm Müller—a list more than sufficient to compensate for the triviality of occasional pieces or the inferior workmanship of personal friends. It was a tragedy that he only lived for a few weeks after the appearance of the ''Buch der Lieder''. We may conjecture what the world would have gained if he had found the full complement of his art in Heine. In his earlier songs he is more affected by the external and pictorial aspect of the poem; in the later ones he penetrates to the centre and seizes the poetic conception from within. But in both alike he shows a gift of absolute melody which, even apart from its meaning, would be inestimable. Neither Handel nor Mozart—his two great predecessors in lyric tune—have surpassed or even approached him in fertility and variety of resource. The songs in ''Acis'' are wonderful ; so are those in ''Zauberflöte'', but they are not so wonderful as ''Litaney'', and “Who is Sylvia?” and the ''Ständchen''. To Schubert we owe the introduction into music of a particular quality of romance, a particular “addition of strangeness to beauty”; and so long as the art remains his place among its supreme masters is undoubtedly assured. {{Fs|108%|{{EB1911 footer initials|William Henry Hadow|W.

After studying law at Munich, Heidelberg and Göttingen, he wished to enter the government judicial service, but, confronted by serious difficulties, abandoned the legal career, and settling at Münster in 1837, devoted himself <!-- column 2 --> to literary work. In 1841 he removed to Schloss Meersburg on the Lake of Constance, joined in 1843 the editorial staff of the ''Allgemeine Zeitung'' in Augsburg, and in 1845 that of the ''Kölnische Zeitung'' in Cologne. In 1852 he retired to his estate, Sassenberg near Münster, and died at Pyrmont on the 31st of August 1883. Among his numerous romances, which are distinguished by good taste and patriotic feeling, largely reflecting the sound, sturdy character of the Westphalians, must be especially mentioned: ''Ein Schloss am Meer'' (1843); ''Ein'' ''Sohn des Volkes'' (1849); ''Ein Staatsgeheimnis'' (1854); ''Verschlungene Wege'' (1867); ''Die Herberge der Gerechtigkeit'' (1879).

The first and most important, {{small-caps|Albert Schultens}} (1686–1750), was born at Groningen. He studied for the church at Groningen and Leiden, applying himself specially to Hebrew and the cognate tongues. His dissertation on ''The Use of Arabic in the'' ''Interpretation of Scripture'' appeared in 1706. After a visit to Reland in Utrecht he returned to Groningen (1708); then, having taken his degree in theology (1709), he again went to Leiden, and devoted himself to the study of the MS. collections there till in 1711 he became pastor at Wassenaer. Disliking parochial work, in 1713 he took the Hebrew chair at Franeker, which he held till 1729, when he was transferred to Leiden as rector of the ''collegium theologicum'', or seminary for poor students. From 1732 till his death (at Leiden on the 26th of January 1750) he was professor of Oriental languages at Leiden. Schultens was the chief Arabic teacher of his time, and in some sense a restorer of Arabic studies, but he differed from J.&nbsp;J. Reiske and A.&nbsp;I. De Sacy in mainly regarding Arabic as a handmaid to Hebrew. He vindicated the value of comparative study of the Semitic tongues against those who, like Gousset, regarded Hebrew as a sacred tongue with which comparative philology has nothing to do. His principal works were ''Origines Hebraeae'' (2 vols., 1724, 1738), a second edition of which, with the ''De'' ''defectibus linguae Hebraeae'' (1731), appeared in 1761; ''Job'' (1737); ''Proverbs'' (1748); ''Vetus et regia via hebraezandi'' (1738); ''Monumenta vetustiora Arabum'' (1740), &c.

He was in turn succeeded by his son, {{small-caps|Henry Albert Schultens}} (1749–1793), who, however, left comparatively little behind him, having succumbed to excessive work while preparing an edition of Meidani, of which only a part appeared posthumously (1795). <section end="s3" /> <section begin="s5" />'''SCHULTZ, HERMANN''' (1836–{{gap}}), German Protestant theologian, was born at Lüchow in Hanover on the 30th of December 1836.

Here he has also held the appointments of chief university preacher, councillor to the consistory (from 1881) and abbot of Bursfelde (1890). Professor Schultz’s theological standpoint was that of a moderate liberal. “It is thought by many that he has succeeded in discovering the ''via media'' between the positions of Biblical scholars like Delitzsch on the one hand and Stade on the other” (Prof. J.&nbsp;A.

The buildings of the Benedictine abbey, founded in 1066, are now used as a prison. The town, which was founded in the nth century, attained the height of its prosperity in the 15th and 16th centuries owing to its pottery wares.

A special form of coin is known as a “siege-piece.” These are coins that were struck during a siege of a town when the ordinary mints were closed or their issues were not available. Such coins were commonly of special shape to distinguish them from the normal coinage, and were naturally of rough workmanship.

The surrounding district, to which it gives its name, abounds in iron-mines, and iron founding and smelting are the most important branches of industry in and near the town. Large tanneries and leather works, and factories for cloth, paper and machinery, are among the other industrial establishments. Siegen was the capital of an early principality belonging to the house of Nassau; and from 1606 onwards it gave name to the junior branch of Nassau-Siegen. Napoleon incorporated Siegen in the grand-duchy of Berg in 1806; and in 1815 the congress of Vienna assigned it to Prussia, under whose rule it has nearly quintupled its population.

After attending the gymnasium at Lübeck, he entered the Prussian army as a volunteer, and for three years was a pupil in the Military Academy at Berlin. In 1838 he received a commission as lieutenant in the artillery, and six years later he was appointed to the responsible post of superintendent of the artillery workshops. In 1848 he had the task of protecting the port of Kiel against the Danish fleet, and as commandant of Friedrichsort built the fortifications for the defence of Eckernforde harbour. In the same year he was entrusted with the laying of the first telegraph line in Germany, that between Berlin and Frankfort-on-Main, and with that work his military career came to an end. Thenceforward he devoted his energies to furthering the interests of the newly founded firm of Siemens and Halske, which under his guidance became one of the most important electrical undertakings in the world, with branches in different countries that gave it an international influence; in the London house he was associated with Sir William Siemens, one of his younger brothers. Although he had a decided predilection for pure research, his scientific work was naturally determined to a large extent by the demands of his business, and, as he said when he was admitted to the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1874, the filling up of scientific voids presented itself to him as a technical necessity. Considering that his entrance into commercial life was almost synchronous with the introduction of electric telegraphy into Germany, it is not surprising that many of his inventions and discoveries relate to telegraphic apparatus. In 1847, when he was a member of the committee appointed to consider the adoption of the electric telegraph by the government, he suggested the use of gutta-percha as a material for insulating metallic conductors. Then he investigated the electrostatic charges of telegraph conductors and their laws, and established methods for testing underground and submarine cables and for locating faults in their insulation; further, he carried out observations and experiments on electrostatic induction and the retardation it produced in the speed of the current. He also devised apparatus for duplex and diplex telegraphy, and automatic recorders. In a somewhat less specialized sphere, he was an early advocate of the desirability of establishing some easily reproducible basis for the measurement of electrical resistance, and suggested that the unit should be taken as the resistance of a column of pure mercury one metre high and one square millimetre in cross-section, at a temperature of 0° C. Another task to which he devoted much time was the construction of a selenium photometer, depending on the property possessed by that substance of changing its electrical resistance according to the intensity of the light falling upon it. He also claimed to have been, in 1866, the discoverer of the principle of self-excitation in dynamo-electric machines, in which the residual magnetism of the iron of the electro-magnets is utilized for excitation, without the aid of permanent steel magnets or of a separate exciting current. In another branch of science he wrote several papers on meteorological subjects, discussing among other things the causation of the winds and the forces which produce, maintain and retard the motions of the air. In 1886 he devoted half a million marks to the foundation of the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt at Charlottenburg, and in 1888 he was ennobled. He died at Berlin on the 6th of December 1892. His scientific memoirs and addresses were collected and published in an English translation in 1892, and three years later a second volume appeared, containing his technical papers. <section end="s6" /> <section begin="s7" />'''SIEMENS, SIR WILLIAM''' [{{sc|Karl Wilhelm}}] (1823–1883), British inventor, engineer and natural philosopher, was born at Lenthe in Hanover on the 4th of April 1823. After being educated in the polytechnic school of Magdeburg and the university of Göttingen, he visited England at the age of nineteen, in the hope of introducing a process in electroplating invented by himself and his brother Werner. The invention was adopted by Messrs Elkington, and Siemens returned to Germany to enter as a pupil the engineering works of Count Stolberg at Magdeburg. In 1844 he was again in England with another invention, the “chronometric” or differential governor for steam engines. Finding that British patent laws afforded the inventor a protection which was then wanting in Germany, he thenceforth made England his home; but it was not till 1859 that he formally became a naturalized British subject. After some years spent in active invention and experiment at mechanical works near Birmingham, he went into practice as an engineer in 1851.

In 1874 and 1875 he was the official reporter of the memorable Reunion Conferences held at Bonn in those years and attended by many distinguished theologians of the Oriental and Anglican communions. Reusch was a profound scholar, an untiring worker and a man of lovable character. Among his voluminous works were contributions to the ''Revue Internationale de théologie'', a review started at Bern at the instance of the Old Catholic Congress at Lucerne. He wrote also works on the Old Testament; a pamphlet on ''Die Deutschen Bischöfe und der Aberglaube''; and another on the falsifications to be found in the treatise of Aquinas against the Greeks; as well as essays on the history of the Jesuit Order, and a book of prayers. But his fame will mainly rest on the works which he and Dollinger published jointly. These consisted of a work on the Autobiography of Cardinal Bellarmine, the ''Geschichte der Moralstreitigen in der'' ''Römisch-Katholischen Kirche seit dem XVI. Jahrhundert'', and the ''Erörterungen über Leben and Schriften des hl. Lignori.'' During the last few years of his life he was smitten with paralysis. He died on the 3rd of March 1900, leaving behind him in manuscript a collection of letters to Bunsen about Roman cardinals and prelates, which has since been published. {{EB1911 footer initials|John James Lias|J.

He is distinguished for his researches on the crystalline schists and the Palaeozoic rocks of Norway. He discovered Silurian fossils in the highly altered rocks of the Bergen region; and in 1891 he called attention to a palaeozoic conglomerate of glacial origin in the Varanger Fiord, a view confirmed by Mr A.

He studied philology in his native town (1819–22), theology at Göttingen under J. G. Eichhorn; and Oriental languages at Halle under Wilhelm Gesenius, and afterwards at Paris under Silvestre de Sacy (1827–28). In 1828 he became ''Privatdozent'' at Strassburg. From 1829 to 1834 he taught Biblical criticism and Oriental languages at the Strassburg Theological School; he then became assistant, and afterwards, in 1836, regular professor of theology at that university. The sympathies of Reuss were German rather than French, and after the annexation of Alsace to Germany he remained at Strassburg, and retained his professorship till, in 1888, he retired on a pension. Amongst his earliest works were: ''De libris'' ''veteris Testamenti apoerypliis plebi non negandis'' (1829), ''Ideen'' ''zur Einleitung in das Evangelium Johannis'' (1840) and ''Die'' ''Johanneische Theologie'' (1847). In 1852 he published his ''Histoire de la théologie chrétienne an siècle apostolique'', which was followed in 1863 by ''L’Histoire du canon des saintes écritures dans'' ''l’église chrétienne''. In 1874 he began to publish his translation of the Bible, ''La Bible'', ''nouvelle traduction avec commentaire''. It was the criticism and exegesis of the New Testament which formed the subject of Reuss's earlier labours-in 1842, indeed, he had published in German a history of the books of the New Testament, ''Geschichte der heiligen Schriften N. Test.''; and though his own views were liberal, he opposed the results of the Tübingen school. After a time he turned his attention also to Old Testament criticism, for which he was especially fitted by his sound knowledge of Hebrew. In 1881 he published in German his Geschichte der heili gen S chriften A. Test., a veritable encyclopedia of the history of Israel from its earliest beginning till the taking of Jerusalem by Titus; He died at Strassburg on the 15th of April 1891. Reuss belonged to the more modern section of the Liberal party in the Lutheran Church. His critical position was to some extent that of K. H. Graf and J. Wellhausen, allowing for the circumstances that he was in a sense their forerunner, and was actually for a time Graf's teacher. Indeed, he was really the originator of the new movement, but hesitated to publish the results of his studies. For many years Reuss edited with A. H. Cunitz (b. 1812) the ''Beiträge zu den theologischen'' ''Wissenschaften''. With A. H. Cunitz and J. W. Baum (1809–1878), and after their death alone, he edited the monumental edition of Calvin's works (38 vols., 1863 ff.). His critical edition of the Old Testament appeared a year after his death.

The chief rivers are the Weisse Elster and the Saale. About 35% of the total surface is occupied by forests, while about 40% is under tillage and about 19% under meadow and pasture. Wheat, rye and barley are the principal crops grown, and the breeding of cattle is an important industry. ''Reuss-Greiz'', with an area of 122 sq. m., belongs to the larger of the two divisions mentioned above, and consists of three large and several small parcels of land. On the whole, the soil is not favourable for agriculture, but the rearing of cattle is carried on with much success. About 63% of the inhabitants maintain themselves by industrial pursuits, the chief products of which are the making of woollen fabrics at Greiz, the capital, and of stockings at Zeulenroda. Other industries are machine building, printing and the making of paper and porcelain. In 1905 the population of the principality was 70,603. The constitution of Reuss-Greiz dates from 1867, and provides for a representative chamber of twelve members, of whom three are appointed by the prince, while two are chosen by the landed proprietors, three by the towns and four by the rural districts. The revenue and expenditure amount to about £76,000 a year, and there is no public debt. The reigning prince is Henry XXIV. (b. 1878), but as he is incapable of discharging his duties, these are now undertaken by a regent. ''Reuss-Schleiz-Gera'', with an area of 319 sq. m., includes part of the southern and the whole of the northern of the two main divisions mentioned above; it touches Bavaria on the south {{nop}}<section end="s6" /><noinclude></noinclude> thyosdwo5phqmvbde7j8ujgrawfcqd6 Page:Collier's New Encyclopedia v. 06.djvu/228 104 1810677 12506909 7247662 2022-07-24T18:02:45Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Library Guy" />{{rh-c|{{c|'''MEMPHIS'''}}|186|{{c|'''MENDELSSOHN'''}}|center-width=10}}</noinclude><section begin="Memphis (Egypt)" />ruins.

His father was a lawyer and councillor of the high court of justice. In 1845 he became professor, of mineralogy and geology at Clausthal, and in 1862 director of the School of Mines. He first described the Cretaceous and Jurassic strata of Germany in elaborate works entitled ''Die'' ''Versteinerungen des Norddeutschen Oolithen-gebirges'' (1836–39), ''Die Versteinerungen des Norddeutschen Kreidegebirges'' (1840–1841) and ''Die Versteinerungen des Harzgebirges'' (1843). He died at Clausthal on the 25th of November 1869. His brother, {{sc|Carl Ferdinand von Roemer}} (1818–1891), who had been educated for the legal profession at Göttingen, also became interested in geology, and abandoning law in 1840, studied science at the university of Berlin, where he graduated Ph.D. in 1842. Two years later he published his first work, ''Das Rheinische Übergangsgebirge'' (1844), in which he dealt with the older rocks and fossils. In 1845 he paid a visit to America, and devoted a year and a half to a careful study of the geology of Texas and other Southern states. He published at Bonn in 1849 a general work entitled Texas, while the results of his investigations of the Cretaceous rocks and fossils were published three years later in a treatise, ''Die'' ''Kreidebildungen von Texas und ihre organischen Einschlüsse'' (1852), which included also a general account of the geology, and gained for him the title “Father of the geology of Texas.” Subsequently he published at Breslau ''Die Silurische Fauna des'' ''westlichen Tennessee'' (1860). During the preparation of these works he was from 1847 to 1855 “privat-docent” at Bonn, and was then appointed professor of geology, palaeontology and mineralogy in the university of Breslau, a post which he held with signal success as a teacher until his death. As a palaeontologist he made important contributions to our knowledge especially of the invertebrata of the Devonian and older rocks. He assisted H.&nbsp;G. Bronn with the third edition of the ''Lethaea geognastica'' (1851–56), and subsequently he laboured on an enlarged and revised edition, of which he published one section, ''Lethaea palaeozoica'' (1876–1883). In 1862 he was called on to superintend the preparation of a geological map of Upper Silesia, and the results of his researches were embodied in his ''Geologie von Oberschlesien'' (3 vols., 1870). As a mineralogist he was likewise well known, more particularly by his practical teachings and by the collection he formed in the Museum at Breslau. He died at Breslau on the 14th of December 1891. <section end="s2" /> <section begin="s3" />'''ROEMER, OLE''' (Latinized {{sc|Olaus}}) (1644–1710), Danish astronomer, was born at Aarhuus in Jutland on the 25th of September 1644. He became in 1662 the pupil and amanuensis of Erasmus Bartholinus at Copenhagen, and assisted J. Picard in 1671 to determine the geographical position of Tycho Brahe’s observatory (Uraniborg on the island of Hveen). In 1672 he accompanied Picard to Paris, where he remained nine years, occupied. with observations at the new royal observatory and hydraulic works at Versailles and Marly. On the 22nd of November 1675 he read a paper before the Academy on the successive propagation of light as revealed by a certain inequality in the motion of the first of Jupiter’s satellites. A scientific mission to England in 1679 made him acquainted with Newton, Halley and Flamsteed. In 1681, on the summons of Christian V., king of Denmark, he returned to Copenhagen as royal mathematician and professor of astronomy in the university; and from 1688 he discharged, besides, many important administrative functions, including those of mayor (1705), chief of police and privy councillor. He died at Copenhagen on the 23rd of September 1710 Roemer will always be remembered as the discoverer of the finite velocity of light. He showed besides wonderful ingenuity in the improvement of astronomical apparatus. The first transit instrument worthy the name was in 1690 erected in his house. In the same year he set up in the university observatory an instrument with altitude and azimuth circles (for observing equal altitudes on both sides of the meridian) and an equatorial telescope. In 1704 he built, at his own cost, the so-called “Tusculan” observatory at Vridlösemagle, a few miles west of Copenhagen, and equipped it with a meridian circle (the transit instrument and vertical circle combined) and a transit moving in the prime vertical. Roemer-thus effectively realized nearly all our modern instruments of precision, and accumulated with them a large mass of observations, all of which unfortunately perished in the great conflagration of the 21st of October 1728, except the three nights’ work discussed by J. G. Galle (''O. Roemeri triduum observations astronomic arum'' ''a. 1706 institutarum'', Berlin, 1845). {{EB1911 Fine Print|See E. Philipsen, ''Nordisk Universitets Tidskrift'', v. 11 (1860); P.

Pop. (1900) 12,348. The old fortifications have been dismantled and partly converted into fine promenades. At this point the Maas is crossed by a bridge erected in 1866–67, and the Roer by one dating from 1771, replacing an older structure, and connecting Roermond with the suburb of St Jacob. Roermond is the seat of a Roman Catholic episcopal see. The finest building in the town is the Romanesque minster church of the first quarter of the 13th century. In the middle of the nave is the tomb of Gerhard&nbsp;III., count of Gelderland, and his wife Margaret of Brabant. It was formerly the church of a Cistercian nunnery, and in modern times has been elaborately restored. The cathedral of St Christopher is also of note; on the top of the tower (246 ft.) is a copper. statue of the saint, and the interior is adorned with paintings by Rubens, Jacob de Wit (1695–1754) and others. The Reformed church was once the chapel of the monastery of the Minorites. There is also a Redemptorist chapel. The old bishop's palace is now the courthouse, and the old Jesuits' monastery with its fine gardens a higher-burgher school. Woollen, cotton, silk and mixed stuffs, paper, flour and beer are manufactured at Roermond. Close to Roermond on the west is the village of Horn, once the seat of a lordship of the same name, which is first mentioned in a document of 1166. The lordship of Horn was a fief of the counts of Loon, and after 1361 of the bishop of Liége; but in 1450 it was raised to a countship by the Emperor Frederick II. On the extinction of the house of Horn in 1540, the countship passed to the famous Philip of Montmorency, who, with the count of Egmont, was executed in Brussels in 1568 by order of the duke of Alva. In the beginning of the next century the count ship was forcibly retained by the see of Liége, and was incorporated in the French department of the Lower Maas at the end of the 18th century.

It frequently occurs as well-formed crystals, which are orthorhombic and occasionally show signs of hemimorphism: they have the form of six-sided prisms or flat tables terminated by large basal planes and often modified at the edges by numerous pyramid-planes. Twinning on the prism-planes is of frequent occurrence, giving rise to pseudo-hexagonal groups like those of aragonite. The colour is iron-black, and the lustre metallic and brilliant; on exposure to light, however, the crystals soon become dull. The mineral has a hardness of 2{{EB1911 tfrac|2}} and is very brittle; the specific gravity is 6·3. Stephanite occurs with other ores of silver in metalliferous veins. Localities which have yielded good crystallized specimens are Freiberg and Gersdorf near Rosswein in Saxony, Chañarcillo in Chile, and exceptionally Cornwall.

But, like Philip and perhaps others of his colleagues (vi. 3), he had higher gifts than his office would suggest. We read that he was “full of faith and of the holy Spirit”; and as his spiritual power seems to have shown itself in mighty deeds as well as words (vi. 5, 8), he became a marked man in Jerusalem. Himself a Jew of Greek culture, he naturally tried to win over his fellow Hellenists (vi.&nbsp;9). It is here that Stephen’s advance upon the Apostolic teaching becomes apparent. His special “wisdom” lay in greater insight into the merely relative nature and value of the externals of Israel’s religion, and particularly those connected with the Temple. His fellow Hellenists were as a body eager to disprove the feeling of the native "Hebrews" that they were only half Jews; accordingly reaching which minimized the value of the sacred "customs which Moses had delivered" (vi. 14)—by making salvation turn immediately upon faith in Jesus as Messiah—would cause deep resentment in such circles, in spite of their more liberal attitude to things non-Jewish. They may have met Stephen’s appeal for faith in Jesus as Messiah by saying that full fellowship with God was theirs by observance of the Mosaic customs, centring in the Temple, which in Jerusalem overshadowed men’s thoughts touching the Divine presence. To this he would reply by warning them in Jesus' own words, supported by those of the prophets, that the heart is the true seat of the Shekinah; and that if they refused God manifest in His Messiah, the final embodiment of Divine righteousness, no holy “customs”—no, not the Temple itself — could save them from the displeasure of the living God. Nay, God might have to make good Messiah’s words as to His person being more essential to fellowship with God than the Temple itself (cf. Matt. xii. 6), which might even be destroyed, as it had been in the past, without loss to true religion. In all this he was but reasserting the prophetic rather than the scribal view of the Mosaic Law and its institutions, viz. that the inner spirit, that which could be written on the heart, was the only thing really essential. But they could not rise to this conception and treated his words as “blasphemous against Moses and against God,” and roused “the people and the elders and the scribes” against him. He was seized and brought before the Sanhedrin on the charge of speaking “against the Temple and the Law” (vi. 11–14). His defence against this twofold charge took the form of a survey of Israel’s religious past, with a view to show: (1) that “the God of Glory” had covenant relations with their fore-fathers before they had either Holy Place (Land or Temple) or Law (vii. 1–17); (2) that the first form of visible meeting place between God and His people was far other than that for which absolute sanctity was now claimed. Nay, the form of “the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness” (no Holy Land) had more divine sanction<ref>The solemn language in v. 44 suggests that to Stephen, as to the writer to the Hebrews (and perhaps Hellenists generally), the Biblical Sanctuary, as corresponding to the heavenly archetype, was more sacred than the Temple of Herod, which owed what sanctity it had to the older features it still preserved. </ref> than any later Temple (44–47) ; (3) that, after all, the presence of "the Most High" was in no way bound up with any structure of human hands, as Isaiah witnessed (48–50). The moral of all this was plain: Israel’s forms of fellowship with the Most High had all along been relative and subject to change. Particularly was this so with the external forms of cultus then represented by the Temple. Hence there was no “blasphemy” in suggesting that in the Messianic age yet another change might come about, and that observance of Temple services could prove little as to acceptance with God. But there is another and more actual line of pleading. This is found in the elaborate section dealing with the person and work of Moses, the great lawgiver (17–38)—a section full of extra-biblical touches—followed by one on Israel’s hardness of heart towards him and the “living oracles” he mediated, together with its result, the Exile (39–43). Pure and original Mosaism, embodied in Moses and his ministry to Israel, is represented as something which in its full spiritual intention had been frustrated by Israel’s stiff neckedness (39, 42 seq.). The figure of Moses is made to stand forth in ideal outlines, the thinly-veiled Christian application shining through. “This is that Moses who said unto the children of Israel, ‘A prophet <section end="s4" /><noinclude> {{smallrefs|90%}}</noinclude> bf7d09uxuj5e78q8k0d8ccb2a28oq8x 12507651 12507601 2022-07-25T00:32:18Z DivermanAU 522506 transliterate Greek (when hovering over); add missing italics to publications etc. proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Slowking4" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|880|STEPHANITE|STEPHEN (MARTYR)|  }}</noinclude><section begin="s1" />of the officials.

It frequently occurs as well-formed crystals, which are orthorhombic and occasionally show signs of hemimorphism: they have the form of six-sided prisms or flat tables terminated by large basal planes and often modified at the edges by numerous pyramid-planes. Twinning on the prism-planes is of frequent occurrence, giving rise to pseudo-hexagonal groups like those of aragonite. The colour is iron-black, and the lustre metallic and brilliant; on exposure to light, however, the crystals soon become dull. The mineral has a hardness of 2{{EB1911 tfrac|2}} and is very brittle; the specific gravity is 6·3. Stephanite occurs with other ores of silver in metalliferous veins. Localities which have yielded good crystallized specimens are Freiberg and Gersdorf near Rosswein in Saxony, Chañarcillo in Chile, and exceptionally Cornwall. In the Comstock lode in Nevada massive stephanite and argentite are important ores of silver. {{EB1911 footer initials|Leonard James Spencer|L. J.

But, like Philip and perhaps others of his colleagues (vi. 3), he had higher gifts than his office would suggest. We read that he was “full of faith and of the holy Spirit”; and as his spiritual power seems to have shown itself in mighty deeds as well as words (vi. 5, 8), he became a marked man in Jerusalem. Himself a Jew of Greek culture, he naturally tried to win over his fellow Hellenists (vi.&nbsp;9). It is here that Stephen’s advance upon the Apostolic teaching becomes apparent. His special “wisdom” lay in greater insight into the merely relative nature and value of the externals of Israel’s religion, and particularly those connected with the Temple. His fellow Hellenists were as a body eager to disprove the feeling of the native “Hebrews” that they were only half Jews; accordingly reaching which minimized the value of the sacred “customs which Moses had delivered” (vi. 14)—by making salvation turn immediately upon faith in Jesus as Messiah—would cause deep resentment in such circles, in spite of their more liberal attitude to things non-Jewish. They may have met Stephen’s appeal for faith in Jesus as Messiah by saying that full fellowship with God was theirs by observance of the Mosaic customs, centring in the Temple, which in Jerusalem overshadowed men’s thoughts touching the Divine presence. To this he would reply by warning them in Jesus’ own words, supported by those of the prophets, that the heart is the true seat of the Shekinah; and that if they refused God manifest in His Messiah, the final embodiment of Divine righteousness, no holy “customs”—no, not the Temple itself — could save them from the displeasure of the living God. Nay, God might have to make good Messiah’s words as to His person being more essential to fellowship with God than the Temple itself (cf. Matt. xii. 6), which might even be destroyed, as it had been in the past, without loss to true religion. In all this he was but reasserting the prophetic rather than the scribal view of the Mosaic Law and its institutions, viz. that the inner spirit, that which could be written on the heart, was the only thing really essential. But they could not rise to this conception and treated his words as “blasphemous against Moses and against God,” and roused “the people and the elders and the scribes” against him. He was seized and brought before the Sanhedrin on the charge of speaking “against the Temple and the Law” (vi. 11–14). His defence against this twofold charge took the form of a survey of Israel’s religious past, with a view to show: (1) that “the God of Glory” had covenant relations with their fore-fathers before they had either Holy Place (Land or Temple) or Law (vii. 1–17); (2) that the first form of visible meeting place between God and His people was far other than that for which absolute sanctity was now claimed. Nay, the form of “the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness” (no Holy Land) had more divine sanction<ref>The solemn language in v. 44 suggests that to Stephen, as to the writer to the Hebrews (and perhaps Hellenists generally), the Biblical Sanctuary, as corresponding to the heavenly archetype, was more sacred than the Temple of Herod, which owed what sanctity it had to the older features it still preserved. </ref> than any later Temple (44–47) ; (3) that, after all, the presence of “the Most High” was in no way bound up with any structure of human hands, as Isaiah witnessed (48–50). The moral of all this was plain: Israel’s forms of fellowship with the Most High had all along been relative and subject to change. Particularly was this so with the external forms of cultus then represented by the Temple. Hence there was no “blasphemy” in suggesting that in the Messianic age yet another change might come about, and that observance of Temple services could prove little as to acceptance with God. But there is another and more actual line of pleading. This is found in the elaborate section dealing with the person and work of Moses, the great lawgiver (17–38)—a section full of extra-biblical touches—followed by one on Israel’s hardness of heart towards him and the “living oracles” he mediated, together with its result, the Exile (39–43). Pure and original Mosaism, embodied in Moses and his ministry to Israel, is represented as something which in its full spiritual intention had been frustrated by Israel’s stiff neckedness (39, 42 seq.). The figure of Moses is made to stand forth in ideal outlines, the thinly-veiled Christian application shining through. “This is that Moses who said unto the children of Israel, ‘A prophet <section end="s4" /><noinclude> {{smallrefs|90%}}</noinclude> a34zo26xtqemjqn3q0ba4p4no13s1cx Page:EB1911 - Volume 18.djvu/947 104 1835441 12508224 8149973 2022-07-25T10:38:10Z DivermanAU 522506 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|LIGHT]|{{x-larger|MOTOR VEHICLES}}|{{x-larger|915}}}}</noinclude> this direction until 1824, from which date a number of these vehicles were constructed and used with considerable success, taking the form of stage coaches propelled by steam, and weighing some 3 or 4 tons unloaded. Some of these ran regular passenger services, notably between Cheltenham and Gloucester, attaining average speeds of ro to 14&nbsp;m. per hour; but great opposition was met with owing to the narrow prejudice of those whose interests related to horse-haulage, and every obstruction was offered in the shape of prohibitive tolls and legislative enactments. The result was that steam carriages were driven off the roads in favour of railways, although the select committee of the House of Commons appointed in 1831 to inquire into the subject reported completely in favour of their adoption (as did also that of 1873). In 1861 the first Locomotives on Highways Act was passed, but the crushing blow came in 1865, when the legislature prescribed (1) that the number of persons required to drive the locomotive should be increased to three; (2) that a man should precede with a red flag; (3) that the maximum limit of speed should be reduced to 4&nbsp;m. per hour; and (4) that they should be forbidden ever to blow off steam, &c. These restrictions were confirmed rather than relieved by the 1878 act. Although these acts were created to deal with heavy traction, the famous 1881 appeal in the court of queen’s bench placed every type of self-propelled vehicle, from a traction engine down to Bateman’s steam tricycle, under their narrow limitations. This resulted in the development of the heavy traction engine, and light motor vehicles were little more heard of in Great Britain. There were a few exceptions, however, notably the steam vehicles of Rickett (1860), Carrett (1861), Tangye (1862), Yarrow (1862), Holt (1866), Todd (1870), Perkins (1870), Mackenzie (1875) and Blackburn (1878), and some electrical carriages made by Elwell (1884), Ward (1886) and Volk (1888). An important departure was that of Butler, who constructed in 1885 what is believed to be the first vehicle (a tricycle) propelled by an internal combustion engine in England (fig.&nbsp;2); he used the vapour of benzoline exploded electrically. Later, Roots successfully employed heavy oil, as did Knight. The chief prohibitory clauses of the acts were repealed in 1896, when the development of the internal-combustion engine had opened up entirely new prospects and suggested new possibilities. {{center|[[File:EB1911 - Motor Vehicles - Fig 1.

Levassor and his application of that system to the propulsion of a carriage. In the nine years that immediately followed French manufacturers spent large sums of money in experimenting with and developing the motor-car, and by 1896, when the Enabling Act was passed, there were a few practical vehicles in England but, perhaps, fewer probable buyers. British makers, starting as they did in the wake of the French manufacturers, were able to profit by the experience gained by the latter, and thus to avoid many otherwise inevitable mistakes; they may not be able to claim to have originated many of the fundamental details of the modern motor-car, but their experience was gained at a comparatively small cost. {{center|[[File:EB1911 - Motor Vehicles - Fig 2. Butler's Motor Tricycle of 1885.png|360px]]<br> {{Fs|92%| {{sc|Fig}}. 2.—Butler’s Motor Tricycle of 1885.}}}} Gottlieb Daimler’s engine marked a great advance in the production of a source of motive power, for its efficiency was large as compared with its total weight, whilst the simplicity of its fuel system brought it within the scope of the person of average mechanical instincts and intelligence, for, even in its early days, the internal-combustion motor did not demand that its user should possess an intimate knowledge of engineering. Daimler fitted one of his motors to a bicycle in 1885, and afterwards applied the system to the propulsion of boats, one or more of which were running on the river Seine in connexion with the Paris Exhibition of 1887. It was this fact that brought the invention to the notice of M. Levassor, of the firm of Panhard & Levassor, makers of wood-working machinery, who saw the possibilities of its application to the propulsion of a road carriage. MM. Panhard & Levassor secured the French patents from Daimler, and M. Levassor devised the transmission system which, as far as its general scheme is concerned, is unaltered to-day, despite many efforts on the part of skilful inventors and designers to secure something better. M. Levassor placed the engine in front, the axis of the crank-shaft being parallel with the side members of the frame of the vehicle. The drive was taken through a clutch to a set of reduction gears and thence to a differential gear on a counter shaft from which the road wheels were driven by chains. With all the modifications of details, the combination of clutch, gear-box and transmission remains<noinclude></noinclude> ni7infx1xyv37zmwypwf0g07berkx46 Page:EB1911 - Volume 18.djvu/948 104 1835442 12508267 10024362 2022-07-25T11:02:48Z DivermanAU 522506 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|{{x-larger|916}}|{{x-larger|MOTOR VEHICLES}}|[LIGHT}}</noinclude> unaltered, so that to France, in the person of M. Levassor, must be given the honour of having led in the development of the motor-car. Progress in the improvement of design was slow until the year 1894, when a great impetus was given to the French industry by the organization, by the Petit Journal, of a trial run of motor vehicles from Paris to Rouen. The measure of success attained. by the cars caused considerable surprise, and in the year 1895 a race was organized from Paris to Bordeaux and back, a distance of 744&nbsp;m., when the winning vehicle covered the journey at a mean speed of 15&nbsp;m. per hour. From that date onward, until 1908, racing played an important part in the development of the motor-car; in fact, it is not going too far to say that, up to 1904, it played a vitally important part therein. The effect was a rapid development in speed, efficiency and reliability, and others besides the sportsman and the individual seeking for new sensations were attracted towards the new vehicle. Racing was not indulged in in England or Scotland, the authorities having no power to close the roads for the purpose. radical changes in previously-existing designs. So far as British makers were concerned, the Mercédès fashion was allowed to predominate, but some of the older French makers were less willing to follow the lead of the great German house. This fact assisted the British makers to forge ahead in their competition with the French. But the great factor in the triumph of British motor engineering arose from the fact that, in England, there was a great wealth of knowledge concerning the properties of steels and steel alloys, and that knowledge, which was advancing all the time, was turned to such good use that it is safe to say that, in only the very best of French cars is the same strength and efficiency obtained from the same weight of metal as would be used in the construction of quite a number of British cars. Lightness of moving parts has led to increased engine efficiency and to economy of fuel, whilst the inert parts of the mechanism the frame and other fixed details-by being lighter, call for a smaller expenditure of power to overcome their inertia. Apart from the employment of special steels for motor-car construction, in which England took a leading part, many improvements {{center|[[File:EB1911 - Motor Vehicles - Fig 3. Rolls-Royce Pullman-Limousine.png|800px]]<br> {{Fs|92%|{{sc|Fig}}. 3.—The 40–50 h.p. Six-cylinder Rolls-Royce Pullman-Limousine.}}}} In July 1902, Mr S. F. Edge, driving a 50 h.p. Napier car, won the Gordon-Bennett Cup in the course of the open race from Paris to Vienna. This trophy has played an important part in the history of the motor-car. It was offered for competition among cars, entered by recognized National Automobile Clubs, no more than three cars being permitted to represent a country, and every car had to be built entirely in the country of its origin. The length of the race had to be not less than 500 kilometres {{nowrap|(310{{EB1911 tfrac|2}} m.).}} The first two races in 1900 and 1901 had been won by French cars and, as these contests had been run concurrently with the big city-to-city races, the importance of the Gordon-Bennett race was overshadowed. But it stood out in bold relief when an English car wrested the international trophy from its French rivals in 1902. The Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland (now the Royal Automobile Club) at once secured parliamentary sanction for the use of certain roads in Ireland for a limited period, and proceeded to organize a race worthy of the issue at stake. The race was won by the Mercédès car, the latest production of the famous house of Daimler. The Mercédès car set quite a new fashion, for it showed advancement in a large number of its mechanical details, and many of these details were either copied or used as the basis for in design and method have originated in Great Britain. For instance, the multiple-disk clutch, which permits a car to he started without shock, is an English invention, as are the detachable wheel, the spare wheel and the six-cylinder ed engine. The latter, introduced by the Napier Company and employed extensively by them, by Rolls-Royce and others, has exerted a great influence upon British tastes, because it created a growing dislike to noise, one of the consequences being the rapid development of the silent car. The representatives of Great Britain in the Gordon-Bennett race of 1903 were selected by means of a series of eliminating trials, and in 1904 and 1905 races were held annually in the Isle of Man for the same purpose. In the years 1906, 1907 and 1908 races were held in that island with such limitations on fuel or on the diameter of the cylinders as were calculated to encourage the development of small but efficient transmissions, and it has been conceded generally that these races served an extremely useful purpose. Concurrently with its development into a reliable, silent, odourless and smokeless power-propelled vehicle, the motor-car gradually came into more general use. It no longer appealed only to a few but gained converts daily, and its final triumph came when it began seriously to displace the horsed vehicle.<noinclude></noinclude> 9nuc1xp60ugwv5pmxfxv4kehclyfoqq Page:EB1911 - Volume 18.djvu/950 104 1835444 12508304 8149977 2022-07-25T11:42:25Z DivermanAU 522506 /* Proofread */ add image and proof text proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|{{x-larger|918 }}|{{x-larger|MOTOR VEHICLES}}|[LIGHT}}</noinclude> through the webs and crank-pins, whence it feeds the connecting rod bearings, enough squirting out to splash on to the cylinder walls. Sometimes, a shallow trough is placed under each connecting-rod end, to hold oil to a certain depth and no more, and a scoop on the big end collects enough oil to effect the lubrication of the connecting-rod bearings and cylinder walls. The aim has been to secure definite lubrication of all moving parts, and, at the same time, to prevent oil being present on the cylinder walls in such quantities as will permit the piston to carry it up into the combustion chamber. Any oil present in the combustion chamber is burnt during the explosion, but, its combustion being imperfect, smokiness of the exhaust is the result. By reducing the oil on the cylinder walls to the minimum necessary for lubrication, smoking has been abolished, whilst clogging, or carbonizing, of the valves has been materially reduced. {|{{Ts|sm92|lh12|ma|ac}} |[[File:EB1911 - Motor Vehicles - Fig 4.

The only other feature in the engine that calls for mention is the method of cooling. With the introduction of the honeycomb type of radiator, by which the water is made to flow through canals an eighth or a sixteenth of an inch wide, the efficiency of the cooling system has been doubled because of the large amount of surface, in a given size of radiator, for dissipating the heat. A fan is generally employed, either situated behind the radiator and driven by the engine, or the flywheel is vaned so as to induce a current of air through the radiator. To deal now with the transmission mechanism, the drive is taken through a clutch and gear-box as in the earliest days, but, for the final drive, chain transmission to the road wheels running on a fixed axle has largely given place to propeller drive on to a live axle. The leather-faced conical clutch, although still employed, has in many cases given way to the multiple-disk clutch in which a number of disks bearing against each other, either flat in section, or (as in the Hele-Shaw clutch) having annular tapered grooves, are contained in an oil-tight box. These plates are capable of being separated laterally from each other when “out of gear,” or brought into frictional contact with each other when it is desired to start the car. Metal-to-metal cone clutches expanding metal shoe clutches, single metal plate clutches and coil spring clutches have all at some time found favour with designers wishing to avoid a leather clutch. Hydraulic and electro-magnetic clutches have also been tried, but these have not gained any vogue. In the matter of the gear-box, the sliding into mesh of the gear-wheels as employed by Levassor is still the standard practice although that pioneer himself regarded the method as barbarous, and looked upon it as a mere temporary expedient. But details of the gear-box have materially improved. A single lever is usually employed for engaging any of the forward gears or the reverse, so that the mistake of simultaneously engaging a reverse and a forward gear is not possible. The spur-wheels are generally mounted in pairs on two sleeves, so that, by means of a selector mechanism that compels one sleeve to be brought to the neutral position before the other can be moved, no two gears can ever be engaged together. By means of “dog clutches,” the clutch shaft can generally be coupled direct with the bevel-wheel driving the back axle the “drive” on the highest gear being thus transmitted without passing through and spur-wheels. This reduces noise and frictional losses. Except for cars of great weight, chain transmission is fast dying out, the power being generally transmitted through a propeller shaft (with universal joints at one or both ends) to a bevel-drive on the back axle; such axle being divided into two revolving or ''live'' axles carrying the differential gear between them. The bevel-wheels, differential gear and live axles are enclosed and run in a lubricant. Wire suspension wheels are growing considerably in favour, a saving in weight being thus effected.

The detachable rim is borne on the periphery of the wheel (which is bonded) and secured in position by various methods. When the tire is punctured or damaged the rim and tire are removed bodily and replaced by a spare rim with its tire already in position and inflated, a change capable of being effected in five minutes or less. The detachable wheel is mounted upon a shell which fits over and is secured to a sleeve, <!-- original image location--> which latter turns and is secured upon the fixed axle. In the case of tire trouble, the wheel intact is removed from the sleeve (which in the case of a driving-wheel carries the driving fittings, the brake-drums, &c.) and a duplicate wheel is substituted. The pneumatic tire has undergone continuous improvement, particularly in the matters of the selection of the material and the proportioning of the strength of the “body” to the work which the tire is to be called upon to perform. Various methods have been devised for the prevention of skidding or “side-slip” on greasy surfaces, and, whilst certain mouldings on the rubber treads have proved advantageous, the method most adopted is that in which a large number of steel studs stand about a quarter of an inch above the surface of the tire. {{center|[[File:EB1911 - Motor Vehicles - Fig 5. Rolls-Royce chassis 1910.png|800px]]<br> {{Fs|92%|{{sc|Fig}}. 5.-Plan View of the 40–50 h.p. Six-Cylinder Rolls-Royce Chassis (1910 type).}}}} It will be seen that the general lines of the car of 1889 have not required to be radically altered. Every detail has been improved so that the cars are more efficient, easier to control and manage, and infinitely more comfortable, but, in essence, Levassor’s scheme is as good to-day as it was when planned by him. The steam car is made by five or six British manufacturers at the most, whereas the actual manufacturers of petrol cars in Great Britain numbered at the end of the year 1909 about seventy, whilst some four hundred other firms were actively engaged in the construction of cars and their parts, accessories and sundries. But the steam car appeals to those men who are or have been steam engineers, and to them the management of the steam generator and the burners constitutes no difficulty. The limitations under which the early steam car laboured have, in the main, disappeared, for the modern steamer can travel nearly as far without requiring to refill the boiler as a petrol car can travel without replenishment of the fuel tank. The electric car is still the luxury to be employed in towns and in covering short distances, for the weight of the accumulators has not been greatly reduced, despite sensational announcements made from time to time. An interesting feature of the motor movement has been the steady growth in popularity of the motor cycle. The motor tricycle was developed up to the year 1903, and then gradually became displaced by the motor bicycle, which had been introduced in 1901. Motor bicycles gradually increased in popularity, until in numbers they were in excess of cars. The standard machines of 1909 had an air-cooled motor of one, two or even <!--col.2--> four cylinders (according to the choice of the riders) developing some 3 to 8 h.p. with magneto ignition and belt drive. The engine was usually started by the rider running alongside the machine, and causing the machine to rotate the crank-shaft through the belt and pulley until the initial explosion was obtained, when he would jump into the seat. Trailers were employed at first for carrying passengers, but, the length of the combined vehicle being between nine and ten feet, a side-car, placed at the side of the cycle and secured thereto by detachable fittings, largely displaced the trailer and also the “fore-car,” in which the passenger was carried in a body placed in front of three- and four-wheeled cycles. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} The rapid growth of the motor movement in Great Britain may be judged from the fact that by the 30th of September 1905 the number of motor vehicles of all kinds registered had totalled to 74,038, and by the 30th of September 1908, three years afterwards, to no less than 154,415. Of these, 137,323 were registered in England and Wales, 10,907 in Scotland, and 6185 in Ireland. 71,405 were private motor-cars; 12,104 were trade motor-cars; 5880 were public service vehicles and 65,026 were motor cycles. A year later (Sept. 30, 1909) the figures showed a further remarkable increase, the total number of vehicles registered in the United Kingdom being 183,773, giving an increase of 29,358 in the year. Of these, private motor-cars numbered 84,840; trade motor-cars 15,181; public service vehicles 8752; and motor cycles 75,000. The numbers registered in England and Wales Were: 74,748 private motor-cars; 13,961 trade motor-cars; 8131 public service vehicles and 66,341 motor cycles, or 163,181 in all. The figures for Scotland were: 6157 private motor-cars; 1056 trade motor-cars; 584 public service vehicles and 5296 motor cycles or 13,093 in all. The figures for Ireland were: 3935 private motor-cars; 164 trade motor-cars; 37 public service vehicles and 3363 motor cycles, or 7499 in all. In the year private motor-cars in the United Kingdom increased by 18·8%; trade motor-cars by 25·4%; public service vehicles by 48·8%, and motor-cycles by 15·3%. It is possible to obtain a better idea of the number of motor vehicles in use from the returns of the commissioners of inland revenue. The total number of privately-owned cars for which licences were issued in 1908 was 48,019, of motor cycles 35,784, and of motor-driven hackney carriages 17,300. These figures may be compared with the registration figures already given for the year ending the 30th of September 1908. As accounting partly for the difference, a certain proportion of the registered vehicles (seeing that the figures include all vehicles in use on and after the 1st of January 1904, less those in respect of which the registrations have been cancelled) must have fallen into disuse and some vehicles will have been sold out of the country, whilst others will have been sold and re-registered with different authorities. But the life of the mechanism of a car, in one form or another, is of considerable length (there were, for instance, in use in 1910, as commercial vehicles, motor chassis that were put on the road in 1896), and it is considered that many registered but unlicensed cars remain for years capable of rendering useful service in emergencies or on special occasions, such as at election periods. In 1906 an act of parliament authorized a census of production, which was taken in 1908, the statistics relating to 1907.

R.}}}} {{EB1911 fine print/e}} {{clear}} {{csc|Heavy Commercial Vehicles}} Heavy types of motor-cars are now widely employed for commercial purposes. The earliest British-built type was the steam-propelled wagon, and its evolution was largely encouraged and hastened by important competitive trials, at Liverpool, in the years 1898, 1899 and 1901, which were conducted by the Self-Propelled Traffic Association. Other series of trials were held by the Royal Agricultural Society of England and the Royal Automobile Club. From the end of 1896 to early in 1905 no commercial motor vehicle was legal in England if its unladen weight exceeded 3 tons, and this limitation caused much financial loss to purchasers who overloaded them. The Heavy Motor Car Order of 1904, which came into force on the 1st of March 1905, increased the maximum unladen weight to 5 tons, whilst limiting the gross weight to 12 tons; by the same order, the combined unladen weight of a motor wagon and the single trailer which it is allowed to draw was fixed at 6{{EB1911 tfrac|2}} tons. In effect, the gross weight of a trailer and its load may not exceed 8 tons, thus yielding a total gross weight, for loaded wagon and loaded trailer, of 20 tons. Excesses in any particular cause a commercial motor to be treated as a “heavy locomotive,” or traction engine, when its freedom of movement, speed, &c., are restricted more severely. Miniature traction engines, constructed to comply with the requirements of the Motor Car Acts and Orders, have progressed since 1905; they are chiefly used where it is a convenience to separate the power and carrying units, as by furniture-removal and other contractors. The working cost of a steam wagon with a 5-ton load, in Great Britain, inclusive of provision for interest on capital, depreciation and maintenance, varies from 7%d. to 9d. per mile <!-- column 2 --> run, on an average basis of 180 m. a week; with a trailer carrying another 3 tons the corresponding figures vary from 9d. to 1s. per mile run, according to nature of roads, gradients and fuel available. The inclusive working cost of a tractor, on macadamized roads, is generally about 15% less than for a 5-ton wagon, ” but a standard tractor cannot haul more than a gross load of 8 tons behind the drawbar-except on dry and level roads. On granite setts the extra vibration often causes undue wear and tear, unless the suspension of the tractor be very good. Vehicles in which the power is derived from internal-combustion engines are commonly known as “petrol” vehicles. Petroleum spirit of 0·700 specific gravity is usually the fuel, but many are now supplied with spirit of 0·760 specific gravity; the range of boiling points is the criterion of satisfactory use—not the density. Petrol vehicles are, practically, stoutly-built motor-cars, and some of the models now in use have been developed from accepted designs of lighter types. There are, however, numerous manufacturers who construct solely for utility purposes. Below net loads of 2 tons, the petrol-propelled vehicle has a virtual monopoly of use in England; above that, it shares the trade with steam. A tabular statement of current working costs of approved petrol vehicles is published herewith. {|class=tablecolhdborder {{Ts|sm92|lh120|ac}} |+Summary of Working Costs for petrol-driven Vehicles (Exclusive of<br>Management) in England. |-{{Ts|ba}} |Particulars.|| colspan=5|Net loads carried:<br>Costs in pence per vehicle-mile. |-{{Ts|bb}} |{{Ts|al||bbt1}}|(Petrol at 10 d. per gall.)<br>Average weekly mileage||10 cwt.&nbsp;<br>400||1 ton&ensp;<br>400||2 tons&nbsp;<br>390||3 tons&nbsp;<br>350||5 tons&nbsp;<br>300 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Driver’s wages||0·84||0·84||1·00||1·09||1·60 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Fuel (petroleum spirit)||0·55||0·77||0·95||1·25||1·67 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Oils and grease||0·12||0·12||0·14||0·16||0·24 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Rubber tires||0·50||0·75||1·15||1·50||2·60 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Repairs (material and wages)&emsp;||0·55||0·85||1·03||1·17||1·55 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Rent, rates and lighting||0·12||0·15||0·25||0·40||0·50 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Insurance and claims||0·12||0·24||0·35||0·42||0·65 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Depreciation||0·65||0·90||1·06||1·36||1·60 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Interest on capital||0·15||0·25||0·33||0·47||0·64 |- |{{Ts|al}}|Totals||{{Ts|ba}}|3·60||{{Ts|ba}}|4·87||{{Ts|ba}}|6·26||{{Ts|ba}}|7·82||{{Ts|ba}}|11·05&numsp; |} Before proceeding to describe and illustrate representative types of vehicles, tractors and special machines, a brief summary of the outstanding points in the English statutes and orders which apply to heavy motor-cars may well be given. Any motor-car with an unladen weight in excess of 2 tons is held to be a “heavy motor-car,” and a “trailer” means a vehicle drawn by a heavy motor-car. The expression “axle weight” means the aggregate weight transmitted to the surface of the road or other base whereon the heavy motor-car or the trailer moves or rests by the several wheels attached to that axle when the heavy motor-car or trailer is loaded. The expression “weight,” in relation to a heavy motor-car or trailer when unladen, means the weight exclusive of the weight of any water, fuel or accumulators used for the purpose of propulsion. All heavy motor-cars have to be registered with a county council, county borough, or other registering authority, and owners have to declare, on suitable forms, the unladen weight, the axle weight of each axle, and the diameter of each wheel. When a registration certificate is issued it bears these data, in addition to a statement of the width and the material of the tyre on each wheel, and the highest rate of speed at which the heavy motor-car may be driven. The owner, after registration, must cause to be painted, or otherwise plainly marked, upon some conspicuous part of the offside of the heavy motor-car, the registered weight unladen, and the registered axle weight of each axle, whilst, upon the near side of the heavy motor-car, he must similarly cause to be painted the highest rate of speed at which it may travel. Width of tires, which in no case may be less than 5 in., varies in relation to imposed load and wheel diameter, and a table of these is issued by the local government board. It is specified that “the width shall not be less than that<noinclude></noinclude> c4qzcrkcbtjiubqt09ykgobykzb15lt Page:EB1911 - Volume 16.djvu/279 104 1836064 12506871 10479950 2022-07-24T17:40:15Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|240–80 {{asc|B.

Although Rome wanted creative force to add a great series of tragic dramas to the literature of the world, yet the spirit of elevation and moral authority breathed into tragedy by Ennius passed into the ethical and didactic writings and the oratory of a later time. Another work was the ''Saturae'', written in various metres, but chiefly in the trochaic tetrameter. He thus became the inventor of a new form of literature; and, if in his hands the ''satura'' was rude and indeterminate in its scope, it became a vehicle by which to address a reading public on matters of the day, or on the materials of his wide reading, in a style not far removed from the language of common life. His greatest work, which made the Romans regard him as the father of their literature, was his epic poem, in eighteen books, the ''Annales'', in which the record of the whole career of Rome was unrolled with idealizing enthusiasm and realistic detail. The idea which inspired Ennius was ultimately realized in both the national epic of Virgil and the national history of Livy. And the metrical vehicle which he conceived as the only one adequate to his great theme was a rude experiment, which was ultimately developed into the stately Virgilian hexameter. Even as a grammarian he performed an important service to the literary language of Rome, by fixing its prosody and arresting the tendency to decay in its final syllables. Although of his writings only fragments remain, these fragments are enough, along with what we know of him from ancient testimony, to justify us in regarding him as the most important among the makers of Latin literature before the age of Cicero. There is still one other name belonging partly to this, partly to the next generation, to be added to those of the men of original force of mind and character who created Latin literature, that of M. Porcius Cato the Censor (234–149), {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|Cato.}} the younger contemporary of Ennius, whom he brought to Rome. More than Naevius and Plautus he represented the pure native element in that literature, the mind and character of Latium, the plebeian pugnacity, which was one of the great forces in the Roman state. His lack of imagination and his narrow patriotism made him the natural leader of the reaction against the new Hellenic culture. He strove to make literature ancillary to politics and to objects of practical utility, and thus started prose literature on the chief lines that it afterwards followed. Through his industry and vigorous understanding he gave a great impulse to the creation of Roman oratory, history and systematic didactic writing. He was one of the first to publish his speeches and thus to bring them into the domain of literature. Cicero, who speaks of 150 of these speeches as extant in his day, praises them for their acuteness, their wit, their conciseness. He speaks with emphasis of the impressiveness of Cato’s eulogy and the satiric bitterness of his invective. Cato was the first historical writer of Rome to use his native tongue. His ''Origines'', the work of his old age, was written with that thoroughly Roman conception of history which regarded actions and events solely as they affected the continuous and progressive life of a state. Cato felt that the record of Roman glory could not be isolated from the story of the other Italian communities, which, after fighting against Rome for their own independence, shared with her the task of conquering the world. To the wider national sympathies which stimulated the researches of the old censor into the legendary history of the Italian towns we owe some of the most truly national parts of Virgil’s ''Aeneid''. In Naevius, Plautus, Ennius and Cato are represented the contending forces which strove for ascendancy in determining what was to be the character of the new literature. The work, begun by them, was carried on by younger contemporaries and successors; by Statius Caecilius (''c.'' 220–168), an Insubrian Gaul, in comedy; in tragedy by M. Pacuvius (''c.'' 220–132), the nephew of Ennius, called by Cicero the greatest of Roman tragedians; and, in the following generation, by L. Accius (''c.'' 170–86), who was more usually placed in this position. The impulse given to oratory by Cato, Ser. Sulpicius Galba and others, and along with it the development of prose composition, went on with increased momentum till the age of Cicero. But the interval between the death of Ennius (169) and the beginning of Cicero’s career, while one of progressive advance in the appreciation of literary form and style, was much less distinguished by original force than the time immediately before and after the end of the second Punic war. The one complete survival of the generation after the death of Ennius, the comedy of P. Terentius {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|Terence.}} Afer or Terence (''c.'' 185–159), exemplifies the gain in literary accomplishment and the loss in literary freedom. Terence has nothing Roman or Italian except his pure and idiomatic Latinity. His Athenian elegance affords the strongest contrast to the Italian rudeness of Cato’s ''De Re Rustica''. By looking at them together we understand how much the comedy of Terence was able to do to refine and humanize the manners of Rome, but at the same time what a solvent it was of the discipline and ideas of the old republic. What makes Terence an important witness of the culture of his time is that he wrote from the centre of the Scipionic circle, in which what was most humane and liberal in Roman statesmanship was combined with the appreciation of what was most vital in the Greek thought and literature of the time. The comedies of Terence may therefore be held to give some indication of the tastes of Scipio, Laelius and their friends in their youth. The influence of Panaetius and Polybius was more adapted to their maturity, when they led the state in war, statesmanship and oratory, and when the humaner teaching of Stoicism began to enlarge the sympathies of Roman jurists. But in the last years during which this circle kept together a new spirit appeared in Roman politics and a new power in Roman literature,—the revolutionary spirit evoked by the Gracchi in opposition to the long-continued ascendancy of the senate, and the new power of Roman satire, which was exercised impartially and unsparingly against both the excesses of the revolutionary spirit and the arrogance and incompetence of the extreme party among the nobles. Roman satire, though in form a legitimate development of the indigenous dramatic ''satura'' through the written ''satura'' of Ennius and Pacuvius, is really a birth of this time, and its author was the youngest of those admitted into the intimacy of the Scipionic {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|Lucilius.}} circle, C. Lucilius of Suessa Aurunca (''c.'' 180–103). Among the writers before the age of Cicero he alone deserves to be named with Naevius, Plautus Ennius and Cato as a great originative force in literature. For about thirty years the most important event in Roman literature was the production of the satires of Lucilius, in which the politics, morals, society and letters of the time were criticized with the utmost freedom and pungency, and his own personality was brought immediately and familiarly before his contemporaries. The years that intervened between his death and the beginning of the Ciceronian age are singularly barren in works of original value. But in one direction there was some novelty. The tragic writers had occasionally taken their subjects from Roman life (''fabulae praetextae''), and in comedy we find the corresponding ''togatae'' of Lucius Afranius and others, in which comedy, while assuming a Roman dress, did not assume the virtue of a Roman matron. The general results of the last fifty years of the first period (130 to 80) may be thus summed up. In poetry we have the satires of Lucilius, the tragedies of Accius and of a few successors among the Roman aristocracy, who {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|General results<br />from 130 to 80.}} thus exemplified the affinity of the Roman stage to Roman oratory; various annalistic poems intended to serve as continuations of the great poem of Ennius; minor poems of an epigrammatic and erotic character, unimportant anticipations of the Alexandrian tendency operative in the following period; works of criticism in trochaic tetrameters by Porcius Licinus and others, forming part of the critical and grammatical movement which almost from the first accompanied the creative movement in Latin literature, and which may be<noinclude></noinclude> qavn0689t495y7qvs48iazajmb8ppbd Page:Stories as a mode of thinking.djvu/8 104 1845226 12506323 8304140 2022-07-24T12:28:33Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Zoeannl" />{{c|6}}</noinclude>{{dhr}} {{c|II}} To some it might appear that Witchcraft was not a subject worth thinking about seriously. But the Witchcraft itself is the temporary form given by certain ages to what is a permanent interest—the conception of a Supernatural World [other than the Supreme Being] capable of affecting (1) the conduct of those who believe in it, (2) or perhaps the actual course of events. It will be interesting to see how such a topic is embodied in a dramatic story of Shakespeare. {{dhr|2em}} {{c|{{larger|THE SUPERNATURAL ELEMENT IN MACBETH.}}}} Shakespeare introduces into his dramas supernatural agents and phenomena of a kind not usually recognized at the present day: such as Ghosts and Witchcraft, &c. :{{fs90/s}}The chief plays are ''Macbeth, Hamlet, Richard III, Julius Cæsar.''—The two plays, ''The Tempest'' and ''Midsummer Night’s Dream'', stand in a different class, as they are wholly divorced from reality.{{fs90/e}} The question arises. How is this supernatural element to be regarded by the student of Shakespeare, in accordance with sound principles of analysis? {{smaller|1.}} Beware of the temptation to explain away the supernatural character of such portions of Shakespeare's plays out of zeal for the poet's 'rationality'—there may be scenes in which an apparition may be resolved into an hallucination (e.g. ''Macbeth'' 3.4, where no one sees the ghost except Macbeth)—but there are cases in which the apparitions are unquestionably objective and supernatural (e.g. Witches in ''Macbeth'', Ghost in first act of ''Hamlet'')—and a single example is sufficient to establish the assumption by Shakespeare of such supernatural phenomena for his dramatic world. {{smaller|2.}} Shakespeare seems to assume for any story he presents whatever was believed in by the age to which the story belongs—but the poet is himself responsible for the interpretation underlying the story, in this case for the use made of the supernatural agency—thus the true 'rationalisation' enquires how the ''operation'' of the supernatural element in a play harmonises with reason and morals.

His father, Emmanuel Mendel, is said to have been a Jewish pedlar, but August adopted the name of Neander on his baptism as a Christian. While still very young, he removed with his mother to Hamburg. There, as throughout life, the simplicity of his personal appearance and the oddity of his manners attracted notice, but still more, his great industry and mental power. From the grammar-school (Johanneum) he passed to the gymnasium, where the study of Plato appears especially to have engrossed him. Considerable interest attaches to his early companionship with Wilhelm Neumann and certain others, among whom were the writer Karl August Varnhagen von Ense and the poet Adelbert von Chamisso. Baptized on the 25th of February 1806, in the same year Neander went to Halle to study divinity. Here Schleiermacher was then lecturing. Neander found in him the very impulse which he needed, while Schleiermacher found a pupil of thoroughly congenial feeling, and one destined to carry out his views in a higher and more effective Christian form than he himself was capable of imparting to them. But before the year had closed the events of the Franco-Prussian War compelled his removal to Göttingen. There he continued his studies with ardour, made himself yet more master of Plato and Plutarch, and became especially advanced in theology under the venerable G.&nbsp;J. Planck (1751–1833). The impulse communicated by Schleiermacher was confirmed by Planck, and he seems now to have realized that the original investigation of Christian history was to form the great work of his life. Having finished his university course, he returned to Hamburg, and passed his examination for the Christian ministry. After an interval of about eighteen months, however, he definitively betook himself to an academic career, “habilitating” in Heidelberg, where two vacancies had occurred in the theological faculty of the university. He entered upon his work here as a theological teacher in 1811; and in 1812 he became a professor. In the same year (1812) he first appeared as an author by the publication of his monograph IJ ber den Kaiser J ulianus und sein Zeitalter. The fresh insight into the history of the church evinced by this work at once drew attention to its author, and even before he had terminated the first year of his academical labours at Heidelberg, he was called to Berlin, where he was appointed professor of theology. In the year following his appointment he published a second monograph ''Der Heilige Bernhard und sein Zeitalter'' (Berlin, 1813), and then in 1818 his work on Gnosticism (Genetische Entwickelung der 'vornehmsten gnostischen Systeme). A still more extended an elaborate monograph than either of the preceding followed in 1822, ''Der Heilige Johannes Chrysostomus und die Kirche'', ''besonders des Orients in dessen Zeitalter'', and again, in 1824, another on Tertullian (''Antignostikus''). He had in the meantime, however, begun his great work, to which these several efforts were only preparatory studies. The first volume of his ''Allgemeine Geschichte der christlichen Religion und Kirche'' embracing the history of the first three centuries, made its appearance in 1825. The others followed at intervals—the fifth, which appeared in 1842, bringing down the narrative to the pontificate of Boniface VIII. A posthumous volume, edited by C. F. T. Schneider in 1852, carried it on to the period of the council of Basel. Besides this great work he published in 1832 his ''Geschichte der Pflanzung und Leitung der christlichen'' <!-- col. 2 --> ''Kirche'', and in 1837 his ''Das Leben Jesu Christi'', ''in seinem'' ''geschichtlichen Zusammenhang und seiner geschichtlichen Entwickelung'', called forth by the famous ''Life'' of David Strauss. In addition to all these he published ''Denkwürdigkeiten aus der'' ''Geschichte des Christentums'' (1823–1824, 2 vols., 1825, 3 vols., 1846); ''Das Eine und Mannichfaltige des christlichen Lebens'' (1840); papers on Plotinus, Thomas Aquinas, Theobald Thamer, Blaise Pascal, J.&nbsp;H. Newman, Blanco White and T. Arnold, and other occasional pieces (''Kleine Gelegenheitsschriften'',1829), mainly of a practical, exegetical and historical character. He died on the 14th of July 1850, worn out and nearly blind with incessant study. After his death a succession of volumes, representing his various courses of lectures, appeared (1856 1864), in addition to the ''Lectures on the History of Dogma'' (''Theologische'' ''Vorlesungen''), admirable in spirit and execution, which were edited by J. L. Jacobi in 1857. {{EB1911 Fine Print|Neander’s theological position can only be explained in connexion with Schleiermacher, and the manner in which while adopting he modified and carried out the principles of his master. Characteristically meditative, he rested with a secure footing on the great central truths of Christianity, and recognized strongly their essential reasonableness and harmony. Alive to the claims of criticism, he no less strongly asserted the rights of Christian feeling. “ Without it, " he emphatically says, “there can be no theology; it can only thrive in the calmness of a soul consecrated to God." This explains his favourite motto: “Pectus est quod theologum facit.” His ''Church History'' (''Allgemeine Geschichte der christlichen Religion und Kirche'') remains the greatest monument of his genius. In this “Neander’s chief aim was everywhere to understand what was individual in history. In the principal figures of ecclesiastical history he tried to depict the representative tendencies of each age, and also the types of the essential tendencies of human nature generally. His guiding principle in treating both of the history and of the present condition of the church was-that Christianity has room for the various tendencies of human nature, and aims at permeating and glorifying them all; that according to the divine plan these various tendencies are to occur successively and simultaneously and to counterbalance each other, so that the freedom and variety of the development of the spiritual life ought not to be forced into a single dogmatic form” (Otto Pfleiderer, ''Development of Theology'', p. 280). Several of his books have passed into new' and revised editions and have been translated into English. Among these English versions may be mentioned 'General History of the Christian'' ''Religion and Church'', translated by J. Torrey (1850–1858); ''History'' ''of the Planting and Training of the Church by the Apostle'', by J.&nbsp;E. Ryland (1851); ''Julian and his Generation'', by G.&nbsp;V. Cox (1850); ''Life of Jesus'', by J.&nbsp;M‘Clintock and C.&nbsp;E. Blumenthal (1848); and ''Memorials of Christian Life in the Early and Middle Ages'', by J.&nbsp;E. Ryland (1852). See O. C. Krabbe, ''August Neander'' (1852), and a paper by C. F. Kling (1800–1861) in the Stud. u. Krit. for 1851; J. L.

Here in 1856 were discovered in a Quaternary bed in the Feldhofen Cave human remains which have been referred to a type commonly called Neanderthal Man. The bones found were a brain-cap, two femora, two humeri and other fragments, now in the Fuhlrott Collection, Elberfeld. The cranium, pronounced by Huxley to be the most ape-like yet discovered, was remarkable for its enormous superciliary ridges. Professor Virchow and others contended that the remarkable shape was pathological or caused by disease during the lifetime of the individual. The subsequent discovery of two other skulls, almost identical in form, at Spy in Belgium, have helped to prove its typical character. The now generally accepted view is that the Neanderthal skull represents the oldest known dolichocephalic race of Europe. <section end="s3" /> <section begin="s5" />'''NEAP,''' a word only used of tides in which the high-water mark is at its lowest, there being the least difference in level between high and low water, opposed to “spring tides” (see {{1911link|Tide}}).

Eng.in ''népflód'', and only once alone in the expression ''forthganges nép'', “ without power of advancing.” It may possibly be connected with “ nip,” in the sense of “pinched,” “scanty.”<section end="s5" /><noinclude></noinclude> pqnlmlrm4koy233x0y10d1f6by0ch86 Page:Collier's New Encyclopedia v. 03.djvu/132 104 1847065 12506907 7878854 2022-07-24T18:02:14Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Library Guy" />{{rh-c|{{c|'''CONCINI'''}}|98|{{c|'''CONCORDANCE'''}}|center-width=10}}</noinclude><section begin="Conchology" />softer animals — viz., mollusks; this has been since abbreviated into malacology. <section end="Conchology" /><section begin="Concini, Concino" /> '''CONCINI, CONCINO''', an Italian, minister to Louis XIII. <section end="Concini, Concino" /><section begin="Conclave" /> '''CONCLAVE''', the place where the cardinals assemble for the election of the Pope; also the electoral assembly of the cardinals themselves.

It has a public library, high school, a National bank, and an assessed property valuation of $4,000,000. During the early part of the Revolution the Americans had a large stock of arms and military stores at Concord. Gen. Gage, the British Commander in Boston, hearing of this, sent a body of soldiers to destroy these stores, and on their way they fought the battle of Lexington, the first of the war. When they reached Concord they destroyed what stores they could find, but were soon driven off by the Americans (April 19, 1775). Concord is celebrated as the home of many famous writers, among them Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and Miss Alcott. Pop.

A similar work may be constructed to enable students to find where each Hebrew word occurs in the Old Testament, or each Greek one in the New Testament or in the Septuagint. The first known Concordance of the Bible in any language was that of St. Anthony of Padua, who was born in 1195, and died in 1231. His work was called “''Concordantiæ Morales'',” and was of the Latin Vulgate. The first Hebrew Concordance was that of Rabbi Isaac Nathan, commenced in 1438 and finished in 1448.

Cartellieri, Peter von Aragon und die sizilianischen Vesper (Heidelberg. 1904). On Honorius IV., see introduction to the complete edition of his registers by Maurice Prou (1886–1888). <!-- col. 2 --> E. Langlois has published the registers of Nicholas IV. (1886–1893), and Otto Schiff deals with his pontificate in his ''Studien zur Geschichte'' ''Papst Nikolaus IV''. (1897). On Celestine V., see H. Schulz, ''Peter'' ''von Murrhone'' (''Papst Coelestin V''.), Berlin, 1894. The publication of the registers of Boniface VIII. was begun by G. Digard, M. Faucon and A. Thomas (1884 et seq.). Of the vast literature on this pontificate we must content ourselves with citing: Heinrich Finke, ''Aus den Tagen Bonifaz’ VIII''. (Münster i. W., 1902); Ch. V. Langlois, “St. Louis, Philippe le Bel, Les Derniers capétiens directs” (vol. iii., pt. ii. of Lavisse’s ''Histoire de France''); Ernest Renan, ''Études sur la politique religieuse du règne de Philippe le Bel'' (1899); A. Baudrillart, “Des Idées qu’on se faisait au XIVᵉ siècle sur le droit d’intervention du souverain pontife en matière politique,” in the ''Revue d’histoire et de literature religieuses'' (vol. iii., 1898); and R. Holtzmann, ''Wilhelm von Nogaret'' (Freiburg i. Br., 1898). The pontificate of Benedict XL is dealt with by P. Funke in his ''Papst'' ''Benedikt XI''. (Münster i. W., 1891). Cf. Ch. Grandjean, “Recherches sur l’administration financière du pape Benoît XI,” in the ''Mélanges'' ''d’archéologie et d’histoire'' (vol. iii., 1883), published by the French School at Rome. Grandjean has published the registers of Benedict XI. (1883 et seq.). Among works of a more general character that throw light on the history of the papacy during the 12th and 13th centuries, the first place must be given to Walter Norden’s ''Das Papsttum und'' ''Byzanz. Die Trennung der beiden Mächte und das Problem ihrer'' ''Wiedervereinigung bis zuni Untergange des byzantinischen Reichs'' (Berlin, 1903), which contains an account of the question of the East in its relations with the papal policy, from the rise of the schism down to the end of the middle ages.

Charles II. (who had in 1S20 married Theresa, daughter of Victor Emmanuel of Sardinia) abdicated in favour of his son Charles III., on the 14th of March, 1849. On the assassination of Charles III. in 1854, his widow, Marie Louise (daughter of Ferdinand, prince of Artois and duke of Berry), became regent for her son Robert. In 1860 his possessions were formally incorporated with the new kingdom of Italy.

According to Diogenes Laertius he was “in his prime” 504–500 {{asc|B.C.}}, and would thus seem to have been born about 539. Plato indeed (''Parmenides'', 127 B) makes Socrates see and hear Parmenides when the latter was about sixty-five years of age, in which case he cannot have been born before 519; but in the absence of evidence that any such meeting took place this may be regarded as one of Plato’s anachronisms. However this may be, Parmenides was a contemporary, probably a younger contemporary, of Heraclitus, with whom the first succession of physicists ended, while Empedocles and Anaxagoras, with whom the second succession of physicists began, were very much his juniors. Belonging, it is said, to a rich and distinguished family, Parmenides attached himself, at any rate for a time, to the aristocratic society or brotherhood which Pythagoras had established at Croton; and accordingly one part of his system, the physical part, is apparently Pythagorean. To Xenophanes, the founder of Eleaticism — whom he must have known, even if he was never in any strict sense of the word his disciple — Parmenides was, perhaps, more deeply indebted, as the theological speculations of that thinker unquestionably suggested to him the theory of Being and Not-Being, of the One and the Many, by which he sought to reconcile Ionian “monism,” or rather " hcnism, " with Italiote dualism. Tradition relates that Parmenides framed laws for the Eleates, who each year took an oath to observe them. Parmenides embodied his tenets in a short poem, called Nature, of which fragments, amounting in all to about 160 Lines, have been preserved in the writings of Sextus Empiricus, Simplicius and others. It is traditionally divided into three parts—the “Proem,” “Truth” ({{Greek|τὰ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν}}), and “Opinion” ({{Greek|τὰ πρὸς δόξαν}}). In “Truth,” starting from the formula “the Ent (or existent) is, the Nonent (or non-existent) is not,” Parmenides attempted to distinguish between the unity or universal element of nature and its variety or particularity, insisting upon the reality of its unity, which is therefore the object of knowledge, and upon the unreality of its variety, which is therefore the object, not of knowledge, but of opinion. In “Opinion” he propounded a theory of the world of seeming and its development, pointing out however that, in accordance with the principles already laid down, these cosmological speculations do not pretend to anything more than probability. In spite of the contemptuous remarks of Cicero and Plutarch about Parmenides’s versification. ''Nature'' is not without literary merit. The introduction, though rugged, is forcible and picturesque; and the rest of the poem is written in a simple and effective style suitable to the subject. {{EB1911 Fine Print|''Proem''.—In the “Proem” the poet describes his journey from darkness to light. Borne in a whirling chariot, and attended by the daughters of the sun, he reaches a temple sacred to an unnamed goddess (variously identified by the commentators with Nature, Wisdom or Themis), by whom the rest of the poem is spoken. He must learn all things, she tells him, both truth, which is certain, and human opinions; for, though in human opinions there can be no"true faith, " they must be studied notwithstanding for what they are worth. ''Truth''.—“Truth” begins with the declaration of Parmenides’s principle in opposition to the principles of his predecessors. There are three ways of research, and three ways only. Of these, one asserts the non-existence of the existent and the existence of the non-existent [''i.e.'' Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes suppose the single element which they respectively postulate to be transformed into the various sorts of matter which they discover in the world around them, thus assuming the non-existence of that which is elemental and the existence of that which is non-elemental]; another, pursued by “restless” persons, whose “road returns upon itself.” assumes that a thing “is and is not,” “is the same and not the same” [an obvious reference, as Bernays points out in the Rheinisches Museum, vii. 114 seq., to Heraclitus, the philosopher of flux]. These are ways of error, because they confound existence and non-existence. In contrast to them the way of truth starts from the proposition that " the Ent is, the Nonent is not." On the strength of the fundamental distinction between the Ent and the Nonent, the goddess next announces certain characteristics of the former. The Ent is uncreated, for it cannot be derived either from the Ent or from the Nonent; it is imperishable, for it cannot pass into the Nonent; it is whole, indivisible, continuous, for nothing exists to break its continuity in space; it is unchangeable for nothing exists to break its continuity in time]; it is perfect, for there is nothing which it can want; it never was, nor will be, but only is; it is evenly extended in every direction, and therefore a sphere, exactly balanced; it is identical with thought [i.e. it is the object, and the sole object, of thought as opposed to sensation, sensation being concerned with variety and change]. As then the Ent is one, invariable and immutable, all plurality, variety and mutation belong to the Nonent. Whence it follows that all things to which men attribute reality, generation and destruction, being and not-being, change of place, alteration of colour are no more than empty words. ''Opinion''.—The investigation of the Ent [''i.e.'' the existent unity, extended throughout space and enduring throughout time, which reason discovers beneath the variety and the mutability of things] being now complete, it remains in “Opinion” to describe the plurality of things, not as they are, for they are not, but as they seem to be. In the phenomenal world then, there are, it has been thought [and Parmenides accepts the theory, which appears to be of Pythagorean origin], two primary elements — namely, fire, which is gentle, thin, homogeneous, and night, which is dark, thick, heavy. Of these elements [which, according to Aristotle, were, or rather were analogous to, the Ent and the Nonent respectively] all things consist, and from them they derive their several characteristics. The foundation for a cosmology having thus been laid in dualism, the poem went on to describe the generation of “earth and sun, and moon and air that is common to all, and the milky way, and furthest Olympus, and the glowing stars”; but the scanty fragments which have survived suffice only to show that Parmenides regarded the universe as a series of concentric rings or spheres composed of the two primary elements and of combinations of them, the whole system being directed by an unnamed goddess established at its centre. Next came a theory of animal development. This again was followed by a psychology, which made thought [as well as sensation, which was conceived to differ from thought only in respect of its object] depend upon the excess of the one or the other of the two constituent elements, fire and night. “Such, opinion tells us, was the generation, such is the present existence, such will be the end, of those things to which men have given distinguishing names.”}} In the truism “the Ent is, the Nonent is not,” {{Greek|ὄν ἔστι, μὴ ὄν οὐκ ἔστι}}, Parmenides breaks with his predecessors, the physicists of the Ionian succession. Asking themselves—What is the material universe, they had replied respectively—It is water. It is {{Greek|μεταξύ τι}}, It is air. It is fire. Thus, while their question meant, or ought to have meant. What is the single element which underlies the apparent plurality of the material world? their answers, Parmenides conceived, by attributing to the selected clement various and varying qualities, reintroduced the plurality which the question sought to eliminate. If we would discover that which is common to all things at all times, we must, he submitted, exclude the differences of things, whether simultaneous or successive.

In short, the single corporeal element of the Ionian physicists was, to borrow a phrase from Aristotle, a permanent {{Greek|οὐσία}} having {{Greek|πάθη}} which change; but they either neglected the {{Greek|πάθη}} or confounded them with the {{Greek|οὐσία}}. Parmenides sought to reduce the variety of nature “to a single material element; but he strictly discriminated the inconstant {{Greek|πάθη}} from the constant {{Greek|οὐσία}}, and, understanding by “existence” universal, invariable, immutable being, refused to attribute to the {{Greek|πάθη}} anything more than the semblance of existence. Having thus discriminated between the permanent unity of nature and its superficial plurality, Parmenides proceeded to the separate investigation of the Ent and the Nonent. The universality of the Ent, he conceived, necessarily carries with it certain characteristics. It is one; it is eternal; it is whole and continuous, both in time and in space; it is immovable and immutable; it is limited, but limited only by itself; it is evenly extended in every direction, and therefore spherical. These propositions having been reached, apart from particular experience, by reflection upon the fundamental principle, we have in them, Parmenides conceived, a body of information resting upon a firm basis and entitled to be called “truth.” Further, the information thus obtained is the sum total of "truth"; for, as “existence” in the strict sense of the word cannot be attributed to anything besides the universal element, so nothing besides the universal element can properly be said to be "known." If Parmenides’s poem had had “Being” for its subject it would doubtless have ended at this point. Its subject is, however, “Nature”; and nature, besides its unity, has also the semblance, if no more than the semblance, of plurality. Hence the theory of the unity of nature is necessarily followed by a theory of its seeming plurality, that is to say, of the variety and mutation of things. The theory of plurality cannot indeed pretend to the certainty of the theory of unity, being of necessity untrustworthy, because it is the partial and inconstant representation of that which is partial and inconstant in nature. But, as the material world includes, together with a real unity, the semblance of plurality, so the theory of the material world includes, together with the certain theory of the former, a probable theory of the latter. “Opinion” is then no mere excrescence; it is the necessary sequel to " Truth." Thus, whereas the Ionians, confounding the unity and the plurality of the universe, had neglected plurality, and the Pythagoreans, contenting themselves with the reduction of the variety of nature to a duality or a series of dualities, had neglected unity, Parmenides, taking a hint from Xenophanes, made the antagonistic doctrines supply one another's deficiencies; for, as Xenophanes in his theological system had recognized at once the unity of God and the plurality of things, so Parmenides in his system of nature recognized at once the rational unity of the Ent and the phenomenal plurality of the Nonent. The foregoing statement of Parmenides’s position differs from Zeller’s account of it in two important particulars. First, whereas it has been assumed above that Xenophanes was theologian rather than philosopher, whence it would seem to follow that the philosophical doctrine of unity originated, not with him, but with Parmenides, Zeller, supposing Xenophanes to have taught, not merely the unity of God, but also the unity of Being, assigns to Parmenides no more than an exacter conception of the doctrine of the unity of Being, the justification of that doctrine, and the denial of the plurality and the mutability of things. This view of the relations of Xenophanes and Parmenides is not borne out by their writings; and, though ancient authorities may be quoted in its favour, it would seem that in this case as in others, they have fallen into the easy mistake of confounding successive phases of doctrine, “construing the utterances of the master in accordance with the principles of his scholar—the vague by the more definite, the simpler by the more finished and elaborate theory” (W.&nbsp;H. Thompson). Secondly, whereas it has been argued above that “Opinion” is necessarily included in the system, Zeller, supposing Parmenides <!--col.2--> to deny the Nonent even as a matter of opinion, regards that part of the poem which has opinion for its subject as no more than a revised and improved statement of the views of opponents, introduced in order that the reader, having before him the false doctrine as well as the true one, may be led the more certainly to embrace the latter. In the judgment of the present writer, Parmenides, while he denied the real existence of plurality, recognized its apparent existence, and consequently, however little value he might attach to opinion, was bound to take account of it: “pour celui même qui nie l’existence réelle de la nature,” says Renouvier, “il reste encore a faire une histoire naturelle de l’apparence et de l’illusion.” The teaching of Parmenides variously influenced both his immediate successors and subsequent thinkers. By his recognition of an apparent plurality supplementary to the real unity, he effected the transition from the “monism” or “henism” of the first physical succession to the “pluralism” of the second. While Empedocles and Democritus are careful to emphasize their dissent from “Truth,” it is obvious that “Opinion” is the basis of their cosmologies. The doctrine of the deceitfulness of “the undiscerning eye and the echoing ear” soon established itself, though the grounds upon which Empedocles, Anaxagoras and Democritus maintained it were not those which were alleged by Parmenides. Indirectly, through the dialectic of his pupil and friend Zeno and otherwise, the doctrine of the inadequacy of sensation led to the humanist movement, which for a time threatened to put an end to philosophical and scientific speculation. But the positive influence of Parmenides’s teaching was not yet exhausted. To say that the Platonism of Plato’s later years, the Platonism of the ''Parmenides'', the ''Philebus'' and the ''Timaeus'', is the philosophy of Parmenides enlarged and reconstituted, may perhaps seem paradoxical in the face of the severe criticism to which Eleaticism is subjected, not only in the ''Parmenides'', but also in the ''Sophist''. The criticism was, however, preparatory to a reconstruction. Thus may be explained the selection of an Eleatic stranger to be the chief speaker in the latter, and of Parmenides himself to take the lead in the former. In the ''Sophist'' criticism predominates over reconstruction, the Zenonian logic being turned against the Parmenides metaphysic in such a way as to show that both the one and the other need revision: see 241 D, 244 B seq., 257 B seq., 258 D. In particular, Plato taxes Parmenides with his inconsistency in attributing (as he certainly did) to the fundamental unity extension and sphericity, so that “the worshipped {{Greek|ὄν}} is after all a pitiful {{Greek|μὴ ὄν}}” (W.&nbsp;H. Thompson). In the ''Parmenides'' reconstruction predominates over criticism—the letter of Eleaticism being here represented by Zeno, its spirit, as Plato conceived it, by Parmenides. Not the least important of the results obtained in this dialogue is the discovery that, whereas the doctrine of the “one” and the “many” is suicidal and barren so long as the “solitary one” and the “indefinitely many” are absolutely separated (137&nbsp;C seq. and 163&nbsp;B seq.), it becomes consistent and fruitful as soon as a “definite plurality” is interpolated between them (142&nbsp;B seq., 157&nbsp;B seq., 160&nbsp;B seq.). In short, Parmenides was no idealist, but Plato recognized in him, and rightly, the precursor of idealism. {{EB1911 Fine Print|{{sc|Bibliography}}.—The fragments have been skilfully edited by H.

Nor is this the haste of ambition, but of his anxiety, that if the common lot of mankind should befall him, some sketch and determination of the matter his mind had embraced might be extant, as well as an earnest of his will being honourably bent upon promoting the advantage of mankind. He assuredly looked upon any other ambition as beneath the matter he had undertaken; for that which is here treated of is either nothing, or it is so great that he ought to be satisfied with its own worth and seek no other return.</ref>}} His despair of the possibility of completing his important work, of which his Novum Organum was only a portion, appears at the very entrance of the volume, which, instead of being confined to the Novum Organum, exhibits an outline, and only an outline, of the whole of his intended labours. After his dedication to the king, he, according to his wonted mode, clears the way by a review of the state of learning, which, he says, is neither prosperous nor advanced, but, being barren in effects, fruitful in questions, slow and languid in its improvement, exhibiting in its generality the counterfeit of perfection, ill filled up in its details, popular in its choice, suspected by its very promoters, and therefore countenanced with artifices, it is necessary that an entirely different way from any known by our predecessors must be opened to the human understanding, and different helps be obtained, in order that the mind may exercise its jurisdiction over the nature of things. The intended work is then separated into six parts: {{bc|<poem>1. Divisions of the Sciences. 2. Novum Organum; or, Precepts for the Interpretation of Nature. 3. Phenomena of the Universe; or, Natural and Experimental History on which to found Philosophy. 4. Scale of the Understanding. 5. Precursors or Anticipations of the Second Philosophy. 6. Sound Philosophy, or Active Science.</poem>}} And with respect to each of these parts he explains his intentions. As to the first, or {{sc|The Division of the Sciences}}, he, in 1605, had exhibited an outline in the Advancement of Learning, and lived nearly to complete it in the year 1623. In this treatise he describes the cultivated parts of the intellectual world and the deserts; not to measure out regions, as augurs for divination, but. as generals to invade for conquest. {{sc|The Novum Organum}} is a treatise upon the conduct of the understanding in the systematic discovery of truth, or the art of invention by a ''New Organ:'' as, in inquiring into any nature, the hydrophobia, for instance, or the attraction of the magnet, the Novum Organum explains a mode of proceeding by which its nature and laws may with certainty be found. It having been Bacon's favourite doctrine, that important truths are often best discovered in small and familiar instances, as the nature of a commonwealth, in a family and the simple conjugations of society, man and wife, parents and children, master and servant, which are in every cottage; and as he had early taught that all truths, however divisible as lines and veins, are not separable as sections and separations, but partake of one common essence, which, like the drops of rain, fall separately into the river, mix themselves at once with the stream, and strengthen the general current, it may seem extraordinary that it should not have occurred to him that the mode to discover any truth might, possibly, be seen by the proceedings in a court of justice, where the immediate and dearest interests of men being concerned, and great intellect exerted, it is natural to suppose that the best mode of invention would be adopted. In a well constituted court of justice the judge is without partiality. He hears the evidence on both sides, and the reasoning of the opposite advocates. He then forms his judgment. This is the mode adopted by Bacon in the Novum Organum for the discovery of all truths. He endeavours to make the philosopher in his study proceed as a judge in his court.

The different parts of the same piece of marble, the different parts of a leaf of a variegated tulip, agree in every thing, save the colour; they are, therefore, solitary in ''difference''. By thus contracting the limits of the inquiry, may it not possibly be inferred, that colour depends upon refraction of the rays of light? ''Nature in motion.''—Observe nature in her processes. If any man desired to consider and examine the contrivances and industry of a certain artificer, he would not be content to view only the rude materials of the workman, and then immediately the finished work, but covet to be present whilst the artist prosecutes his labour, and exercises his skill. And the like course should be taken in the works of nature. ''Travelling Instances.''—In inquiring into any nature, observe its progress in approaching to or receding from existence. Let the inquiry be into the nature of whiteness. Take a piece of clear glass and a vessel of clear water, pound the glass into fine dust and agitate the water, the pulverised glass and the surface of the water will appear white; and this whiteness will have travelled from non-existence into existence. Again, take a vessel full of any liquor with froth at the top, or take snow, let the froth subside and the snow melt; the whiteness will disappear, and will have travelled from existence to non-existence. ''Journeying Instances.''—In inquiring into any nature, observe its motions gradually continued or contracted. An inquirer into the vegetation of plants should have an eye from the first sowing of the seed, and examine it almost every day, by taking or plucking up a seed after it had remained for one, two, or three days in the ground; to observe with diligence when, and in what manner the seed begins to swell, grow plump, and be filled or become turgid, as it were, with spirit; next, how it bursts the skin, and strikes its fibres with some tendency upwards, unless the earth be very stubborn; how it shoots its fibres in part, to constitute roots downwards; in part, to form stems upwards, and sometimes creeping sideways, if it there find the earth more open, pervious, and yielding, with many particulars of the same kind. And the like should be done as to eggs during their hatching, where the whole process of vivification and organization might be easily viewed; and what becomes of the yolk, what of the white, &c. The same is also to be attempted in inanimate bodies; and this we have endeavoured after, by observing the ways<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 3cwvkfsb0e0eut4evzzfuyud5i4u9qu Page:EB1911 - Volume 21.djvu/280 104 1857806 12506339 6835827 2022-07-24T12:39:06Z DivermanAU 522506 Rattiay→Rattray; diereses in Göttingen, Über - see hi-res scan: archive.org/details/encyclopaediabri21chisrich/page/263; A D.→{{asc|A.D.}} proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Inops" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|  |Pertinax|Pertz|263}}</noinclude><section begin="Perthshire" />direction via Perth. At Crieff junction it sends off a branch to Crieff and at Perth branches to Dundee and Lochearnhead. The Stirling to Oban line of the same company crosses the shire from Dunblane to Tyndrum. The Highland railway runs northwards from Perth, and has a branch at Ballinluig to Aberfeldy. Branches of the North British railway reach Perth from Mawcarse in Kinross-shire and Ladybank in Fifeshire; part of the branch from Buchlyvie on the Forth and Clyde line runs to Aberfoyle, and the West Highland railway skirts the extreme west of the shire. At several points coaches supplement the rail. In the tourist season steamers ply on Loch Tay and Loch Katrine, and there is a service on the Tay between Perth and Dundee. ''Population and Administration''.—In 1891 the population amounted to 122,185 and in 1901 to 123,283, or 49 persons to the sq. m. The rate of increase was the smallest of any Scottish county for the decade. In 1901 there were 78 persons speaking Gaelic only and 11,446 Gaelic and English. The chief towns are Perth (pop. 32,873), Crieff (5208), Blairgowrie (3378), Dunblane (2516), Auchterarder (2276), Coupar-Angus (2064), Rattray (2019). Among lesser centres may be mentioned Aberfeldy (1508), a favourite resort on the Tay, well known for the falls of Moness, mentioned in Robert Burns's song “The Birks of Aberfeldy”; Abernethy (623), the seat of an early bishopric, retaining one of the three ancient round towers in Scotland, Alyth (1965); Callander (1458); Comrie (1118), a holiday resort on the Earn; Pitlochry (1541); and Stanley (1035), on the Tay. Of old the county was divided into hereditary jurisdictions, which were abolished in 1748, and in 1795 the county was divided into districts for administrative purposes, a system which obtained until 1889, when county and district councils were established. The sheriffdom is divided into an eastern and western district, the seat of the one being Perth and the other Dunblane. For parliamentary purposes the county is also divided into an eastern and a western division, and the city of Perth returns a member. The shire is under school-board jurisdiction, and there are secondary schools at Perth and Crieff, and Trinity College in Glen Almond is a well-known public school on the English model. ''History''.—In 83 Agricola explored the lands beyond the Forth and in the following year penetrated to the Grampians, defeating the Caledonians under Galgacus with great slaughter. The site of this battle is conjectured by William Forbes Skene to have been near Meikleour, south of Blairgowrie, but other writers have referred it to Dalginross, near Comrie; to Ardoch (where there are the most perfect remains of a Roman encampment in the British Isles); and even as far north as Raedykes, near Stonehaven in Kincardineshire. The Romans did not pursue their victory, and the Picts were left undisturbed for a considerable period. At this time, according to Ptolemy, the territory now known as Perthshire was occupied by three tribes—the Damnonii, the Venicones and the Vacomagi. The Damnonii held Menteith, Strathearn and Fothrif (the western part of modern Fife and Kinross), with Alauna (Allan), just above Stirling, Lindum (Ardoch) and Victoria (believed by some authorities to be Lochore in Fifeshire, and by others to be Perth city), as their chief towns. The Venicones inhabited north-western Fife and the adjoining tract of Perthshire, with Orrea (probably Abernethy) as their chief town and a station at Ardargie. The Vacomagi dwelt in the Highland region, with stations at Inchtuthil (a peninsula in the Tay above Kinclaven) and Banatia (Buchanty on the Almond). The growing lawlessness of the southern Picts and their frequent raids in the more settled country in the south at last compelled the attention of the emperor Severus. He arrived in Britain in 208, but though he led a strong army to the shores of the Moray Firth, he was unable effectually to subdue the tribesmen. The road he constructed ran from Stirling to Ardoch (where there are notable remains) and thence by Strageath, near Muthill, where it branched north-westwards to Dalginross and Buchanty, and north eastwards to Perth and so to the Grampians. When the Romans finally withdrew from Britain, the Picts established their capital first at Abernethy and then at Forteviot. Abernethy was the centre of the Celtic church after the conversion of the natives by Ninian, Palladius and other missionaries in the 5th and 6th centuries. On the burning of Forteviot by the Norsemen in the 8th century, the seat of Pictish government was removed to Scone. In the latter half of the 9th century Dunkeld—to which Kenneth Macalpine had brought some of the relics of Columba from Iona—became the scene of monastic activity, the abbot succeeding to the position of the abbot of Iona, and exercising great influence for nearly a hundred years. The Danes periodically harried the land, but a crushing defeat at Luncarty in 961 put an end to their inroads in this quarter. In 1054 Macbeth was defeated at Dunsinane by Siward, earl of Northumberland, who had invaded Scotland in the interest of his kinsman, Duncan's son, who, on the death of the usurper three years later, ascended the throne as Malcolm&nbsp;III., called Canmore. With Malcolm's accession the Celtic rule of the monarchy of Scone came to an end. Nevertheless, the Scottish sovereigns (excepting James&nbsp;II., James&nbsp;III. and Mary) continued to be crowned at Scone, which also retained the position of capital until the beginning of the 12th century, when it was displaced by Perth. From the time of Alexander I. (d. 1124), therefore, the history of the shire is merged in that of the county town, with the exception of such isolated incidents as the removal of the Coronation Stone from Scone to Westminster in 1296, the defeat of Robert Bruce at Methven in 1306, the battle of Dupplin in 1332, the victory of Dundee at Killiecrankie in 1689 and the indecisive contest at Sheriffmuir in 1715. Among archaeological remains may be mentioned the hill-fort on Dunsinane; the ship-barrow of the vikings at Rattray, weems (or earth-houses) in the parishes of Monzie, Alyth and Bendochy; the witch-stone near Cairnbeddie, one of the numerous spots where Macbeth is alleged to have met the witches, but probably a sepulchral memorial of some forgotten battle; standing stones near Pitlochry, and an extraordinary assemblage of sculptured stones at Meigle. {{EB1911 Fine Print|{{sc|Bibliography}}.—Robertson, ''Comitatus de Atholiae'' (Edinburgh, 1860); P.

In search of materials for this purpose, Pertz made a prolonged tour through Germany and Italy, and on his return in 1823 he received at the instance of Stein the principal charge of the publication of ''Monumenta germaniae historica'', texts of all the more important historical writers on German affairs down to the year 1500, as well as of laws, imperial and regal archives, and other valuable documents, such as letters, falling within this period. Pertz made frequent journeys of exploration to the leading libraries and public record offices of Europe, publishing notes on the results of his explorations in the ''Archiv. der Gesellsch. f. deutsche Geschichtskunde'' (1824—1872). In 1823 he had been made secretary of the archives, and in 1827 principal keeper of the royal library at Hanover; from 1832 to 1837 he edited the ''Hannoverische Zeitung'', and more than once sat as a representative in the Hanoverian second chamber. In 1842 he was called as chief librarian to Berlin, where he shortly afterwards was made a privy councillor and a member of the Academy of Sciences.

In England the earliest known ordinances for the regulation of the craft were drawn up in 1348 and received the approval of the mayor and aldermen. From them we learn that for rounded vessels lead might be mixed with the tin in the proportion of 26 ℔ to each hundredweight, though this quantity appears to have been found excessive, since in 1351 a pewterer was punished because his alloy contained more than 16&nbsp;℔ to the hundredweight, unless this be a clerical error in the contemporary records of the Pewterers’ Company. Articles made of this material were to be known as “vessels of tyn for ever” but the alloy soon came to be known as “ley” Another formula, however, authorized in the same document, would appear to have been at that time an exclusively English secret, to which was presumably due the universal recognition of the superiority of the island wares which is so notable a fact in the history of pewter. It was known as “fyne peauter" and used for dishes, saucers, platters, chargers, and for all “things that they make square,” such as cruets, chrismatories, &c., which owing either to the rough usage they would be submitted to, or to the sharpness of their angles, called for greater toughness in the material The recipe for this alloy as originally propounded was as much brass to the tin “as it wol receiuve of his nature,” but the lack of precision in this perhaps rendered it difficult to distinguish accidental variations from deliberate adulteration, and in 1474–1475 it was resolved that 26 ℔ of brass must be mixed with every hundredweight of tin. The penalties for infringement of the rules were severe and frequently enforced, but in spite of them alterations and improvements crept in. The chief and perhaps the earliest of these was the addition of a certain proportion of bismuth, or as it was then called “tin glass” When this was first used is not recorded, but by 1561 it was accepted as a matter of course; in 1630 a maker “was found in fault for not sufficiently tempering his metal with tin glass”; and in 1653 it was ordered that 3 ℔ weight of tin glass at least must be mixed with every 1000 ℔ of tin. Antimony was subsequently introduced—though there is no mention of it in the records of the Pewterers’ Company—sometimes alone as in tin and temper (1·6 to 150 parts) and trifle (17 parts to 83 of tin), sometimes with other metals as in hard metal (96 parts of tin, 8 of antimony and 2 of copper), a mixture very closely resembling that still used under the name of “Britannia metal,” and in plate pewter (100 parts of tin, 8 of antimony, 4 of copper and 4 of bismuth). The wares were originally fashioned in two ways, by hammering or by casting, and the workers in each were strictly differentiated, the former, who worked in fine pewter, being known as Sadware men, the latter who used “ley” as Hollow-ware men A third class, known as Triflers, from the alloy they were limited to, probably at first only manufactured such small articles of domestic use or ornament as did not definitely fall under either of the other headings, but from an authorized list of wares, drawn up by a committee of Triflers in 1612, it is clear that the barrier between them and the Hollow-ware men had been largely broken down. Another method of working pewter which seems to have been introduced later, and never followed to any great extent, was spinning, by which the vessel was shaped in a mould on a wheel by the mere pressure of a blunt tool, the softness of the metal allowing of its flowing sufficiently for this purpose. Pewter first appears in history in 1074, when a synod at Rouen permitted 1ts use as a substitute for gold or silver in church vessels, a concession accepted also at Winchester two years later, again withdrawn in 1175, but once more tacitly adopted some twenty years after. The records of its domestic use commence with the caldrons employed for boiling the meat at the coronation of Edward&nbsp;I. in 1274, though we gather that the trade was even then flourishing in Paris and Bruges. whence during the following century it extended to Augsburg, Nuremberg, Poitiers, Mons and other continental centres. Confined at first to the more wealthy classes, we can trace as time goes on its extension lower and lower in the social scale, until at the end of the 17th century its use was almost universal. Thenceforward its vogue steadily declined. The growing cheapness of glass and chinaware and the invention of more showy metals brought upon it by degrees the fatal stigma of vulgarity, until with very few exceptions its manufacture entirely ceased. Artistically, pewter was at its best when its makers were least conscious of the art revealed in it, thinking more of the durability and appropriateness to purpose of their wares than of their decorative qualities. Though intentionally ornamental vessels may be found earlier, it was not until the 18th century that the pewterers set themselves to slavishly copying the designs and methods of the silversmiths, whether suitable to their material or not, and thereby undoubtedly hastened their own downfall. Of recent years pewter has taken its place among the articles sought after by collectors, and its cost has so materially and rapidly increased that the manufacture of vessels, guaranteed of course genuinely antique, bids fair to become once more a paying industry. Unfortunately the various enactments compelling each maker to stamp his ware with a definite touch mark seem at all times to have been very generally evaded or ignored, and experience alone is therefore the only safe guide to distinguishing new from old. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} {{sc|Bibliography}}.—''History of the Worshipful Company of Pewterers of the City of London'', by Charles Welch (London, 1902); ''Pewter Plate'', by R.

Pop. (1906), 6432. The commerce in cognac, spirits and wines is so important that the prices current for these at the weekly sales are registered throughout the wine marts of France and Europe. There is a handsome monument to Molière, who lived at Pézenas several years and produced his first plays there in 1655 and 1656. A gateway (15th century) and old mansion of the 15th and 16th centuries are of interest. Pézenas (''Piscennae'') was founded by the Gauls. In the 10th century it became the capital of a countship subsequently held by important families including those of Montmorency, Condé and Conti. In the 17th century the town was on several occasions the meeting place of the estates of Languedoc. <section end="s2" /> <section begin="s4" />'''PFAFF, JOHANN FRIEDRICH''' (1765–1825), German mathematician, was born on the 22nd of December 1765 at Stuttgart. He received his early education at the Carlsschule, where he met F Schiller, his lifelong friend. His mathematical capacity was early noticed, he pursued his studies at Göttingen under Abraham Gotthelf Kastner (1719–1800), and in 1787 he went to Berlin and studied practical astronomy under J.&nbsp;E. Bode. In 1788 Pfaff became professor of mathematics in Helmstedt, and so continued until that university was abolished in 1810. From that time till his death on the 21st of April 1825 he held the chair of mathematics at Halle. Pfaff’s researches bore chiefly on the theory of series, to which he applied the methods of the so-called combinatorial school of German mathematicians, and on the solution of differential equations. His two principal works are ''Disquisitiones analyticae maxime ad calculum integralem et doctrinam serierum pertinentes'' (4to, vol i, Helmstedt, 1797) and “Methodus generalis, aequationes differentiarum particularum, necnon aequationes differentiales vulgares, utrasque primi ordinis inter quotcumque variabiles, complete integrandi” in ''Abh. d.

Charles V. conferred upon it the title of “villa imperial.” From 1545 to 1800 the crown tax of one-fifth upon the mineral product amounted to £32,600,000, showing an acknowledged output of £163,000,000. The actual output, however, must have been much greater, as Spain was flooded with contraband silver, and there was a large trade in it at La Plata ports, whence it was taken to Brazil and Portugal. The total output to 1864 has been estimated at more than £400,000,000, but the annual output at the beginning of the 20th century barely exceeded 400,000 ozs. The struggle for independence began in Potosi on the 9th of November 1810, but the Spanish forces succeeded in retaining possession down to 1822. <section end="s1" /> <section begin="s2" />'''POTOTAN,''' a town of the province of Iloilo, island of Panay, Philippine Islands, on the Jalaur river, about 17 m.

There is a fine church in the old town and a large stone church in Dingle; in the old town are several other buildings of masonry and some beautiful “fire” trees for shade. The principal industries are the cultivation of sugar-cane, Indian corn, rice, tobacco and hemp, and the raising of cattle, carabaos, sheep and horses. <section end="s2" /> <section begin="Potsdam (Germany)" />'''POTSDAM,''' a town of Germany, the administrative capital of the Prussian province of Brandenburg, and one of the principal residences of the German Emperor, beautifully situated on the river Havel, 16 m. S.W. of Berlin, on the main line of railway to Magdeburg. Pop. (1905), 61,414. It is also connected with the capital by two local lines and by a steamboat service through the chain of lakes formed by the river. The greater part of the town lies on the right bank of the Havel and is connected with the Teltow suburb on the opposite bank by a long bridge (Lange Brücke). At the north end of this bridge rises the royal palace, a large quadrangular building of the 17th century, with a colonnade, chiefly interesting for the numerous relics it contains of Frederick the Great, who made it his favourite residence. At the south-eastern corner of the palace, close to the bridge, is the tree under which petitioners waited for the answer to their grievances, which Frederick the Great gave from an opposite window. It also contains reminiscences of Voltaire, who resided here for several years. The principal churches are the Nikolaikirche; the Church of the Holy Ghost, built in 1728; the garrison church, containing the remains of Frederick the Great and his father, Frederick William I.; and the Friedenskirche, or Church of Peace, erected by Frederick William IV. in 1845–1850. To the Friedenskirche is attached a mausoleum built after the model of a chapel at Innichen in Tirol, in which are buried Emperor Frederick III. and his consort, the Princess Royal of Great Britain, and two of their children who died in infancy. Among other conspicuous buildings are the large barracks and other military establishments; the town hall; and the Brandenburg gate, in the style of a Roman triumphal arch. The town has fine statues of several of the Prussian kings, including Frederick the Great. The Lustgarten, the Wilhelmsplatz and the Plantage are open spaces laid out as pleasure-grounds and adorned with statues and busts. In spite of its somewhat sleepy appearance, Potsdam has manufactures of silk goods, chemicals, furniture, chocolate, tobacco and optical instruments. Market-gardening affords occupation to many of the inhabitants, and the cultivation of winter violets is a specialty. The Havel is well stocked with fish. On a wooded eminence to the south of the town lies the observatory with extensive premises. {{EB1911 Fine Print|Potsdam is almost entirely surrounded by a fringe of royal palaces, parks and pleasure-grounds, which fairly substantiate its claim to the title of a “German Versailles.” Immediately to the west is the park of Sans Souci, laid out by Frederick the Great, and largely extended by Frederick William&nbsp;IV. It is in the formal French style of the period, and is adorned with fountains, statuary and artificial ruins. Near the palace is the famous windmill; now royal property, which, according to a tradition now regarded as doubtful, its owner refused to sell to the king, meeting threatened violence by an appeal to the judges of Berlin. A little farther on is the Orangery, an extensive edifice in the Italian style, containing numerous pictures and other works of art. The park also includes the Charlottenhof, a reproduction of a Pompeian villa. At the west end of the park stands the New Palace, a huge brick edifice 375 ft. in length, erected by Frederick the Great at enormous expense in 1763–1769. It was occupied for a while by the emperor Frederick III., and was rechristened by him “Friedrichskron.” On the accession of the emperor William II. its original name was restored. It is now the residence of the emperor. It contains reminiscences of Frederick and of Voltaire, a few pictures by ancient masters, a theatre, and a large hall decorated with shells and minerals. The spacious buildings at the back are devoted to the “Lehrbataillon,” a battalion of infantry composed of drafts from different regiments trained here to ensure uniformity of drill throughout the army. To the north of Potsdam lies a small Russian village, Alexandrowka, built in 1826 to accommodate the Russian singers attached to the Prussian guards. A little to the east of it, on the Heiligersee, is the New Garden, containing the Marble Palace. The list of Potsdam palaces may be closed with two situated on the left bank of the Havel—one at Klein-Glienicke, formerly the country-seat of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia (the “Red Prince”), and the other on the hill of Babelsberg. The latter, designed as a miniature copy of Windsor Castle, in the midst of a park in the English taste, was formerly the summer residence of the emperor William&nbsp;I. Potsdam was originally a Slavonic fishing-village named Poztupimi, and is first mentioned in a document of 993. It became a town in the 14th century, but was unimportant until the great elector built a palace here between 1560 and 1682; and even at the close of his reign it only contained 3000 inhabitants. The elector Frederick William I. greatly enlarge Potsdam, and his stiff military tastes are reflected in the monotonous uniformity of the streets. Frederick the Great continued his father's work, and is the real creator of the modern splendour of the town, to which all his successors have contributed. See H. C. P.

It has a public library and is the seat of a state Normal School (1869), an outgrowth of St Lawrence Academy (founded in 1810 by Benjamin Raymond and maintained by him until 1816, when it was incorporated); of the Thomas S. Clarkson Memorial School of Technology (1896), founded by his sisters in honour of Thomas Streatfield Clarkson (1837–1894); and of the Crane Normal Institute of Music. The village has a considerable trade in dairy products. In the neighbourhood are extensive quarries of the well-known “Potsdam sandstone,” the uppermost division of the Cambrian system, described as a “fine-grained sandstone cemented with silica,” and very durable. The House of Parliament at Quebec, All Saints Cathedral at Albany, New York, and many other public edifices were built of this stone. The “Ten Towns” of St Lawrence county, including the township of Potsdam, were sold by the state in 1787. The first settlement was made on the Raquette river, close to the present village, in 1803; the township was incorporated in ISO6 and the village in 1831. Potsdam was named after Potsdam in Prussia because of the occurrence in each locality of reddish sandstone. <section end="s5" /> <section begin="s6" />[[Author:August Friedrich Pott|'''POTT, AUGUST FRIEDRICH''']] (1802–1887), German philologist, was born at Nettelrede, Hanover, on the 14th of November 1802.

The earliest mention, however, of this burning of Haman in elligy cannot be traced back earlier than the Talmud in the 5th century. In connexion with Purim many quaint customs were introduced by the Jews of later times. All means are adapted to increase the hilarity of the two days, which are filled with feasting, dancing, singing and making merry generally. In Germany it was even customary for men to dress up as women, and women as men, against the command of Deut. xxii. 5. In Frankfort the women were allowed to open their lattice Windows in the synagogue in honour of the deliverance brought about by Esther. Execration of Haman, as the typical persecutor of the Jews, took various forms. In Germanywooden mallets were used in the synagogue to beat the benches when Haman's name ww read out from the scroll of Esther, and during the festivities these mallets were sometimes used on the heads of the bystanders. Cakes were made of a certain shape to be eaten by the children, which were called, in Germany, Hamantaschen (Haman-pockets) and H amanohren (Haman-ears), and in Italy, Orecchie d'Aman. In Italy a puppet representing Haman was set up on high amidst shouts of vengeance and blowing of trumpets. In Caucasus the women made a wooden. block to represent Haman, which, on being discovered by the men on their return to the synagogue, was thrown into the fire. Besides gifts to friends, parents made Purim gifts to their children, especially in the form of Purim cakes. T0 preside over these festivities it was customary to have a master of the ceremonies, who was called king in Provence, somewhat after the manner of the Feast of Fools. In later days the same function was performed by the Purim Rabbi, who often indulged in parodies of the ritual. With Purim is connected the only trace of a true folk-drama among Jews. The first Spanish drama written by Jews was entitled “ Esther, ” by Solomon Usque and Lazaro Gratiano, published in 1567; and there is another entitled “ Comedia famosa de Aman y Mordechay, " produced anonymously in Leiden in 1699. Among the German Jews Purim-Spiele were frequent and can be traced back to the 16th century, where there is reference to their being regularly performed at Tannhausen. The earliest one of these printed was entitled “Ahaswerosh-Spiel, ” appeared at Frankfort in 1708, and was reprinted by Schudt in Juedische Merck-Wuerdigkeilen, ii. 314 seq. These were followed by a large number of similar reproductions, none of any great merit, but often showing ingenuity in parodying more serious portions of the Jewish ritual (Davidson, Parody, PD- 27. 50, 199-203) Besides the general festival of Purim, various communities of Jews have instituted special local Purims to commemorate occasions when they have been saved from disaster. Thus the Jews of Cairo celebrated Purim on the 28th of Adar in memory of their being miraculously saved from the persecution of Ahmed Pasha in IS24. The Jews of Frankfort celebrate their special Purim on the zoth of Adar because of their deliverance from persecution by Fettmilch in 1616. The Jews of Algiers similarly celebrated the repulse of the emperor Charles V. in 1541, by which they escaped coming once more into the yoke of the Spaniards. Similar occasions for rejoicing were introduced by individuals into their families to celebrate their escape from danger. Thus Abraham Danzig celebrated in this manner his escape from the results of an explosion of a powder magazine at Wilna in 1804. Rabbi Enoch Altschul of Prague recorded his own escape on the 22nd of Tebet 1623 in a special roll or megillah, which was to be read by his family on that date with rejoicing similar to the general Purim. David Brandeis of Jung-Bunzlau in Bohemia was saved from an accusation of poisoning on the 10th of Adar 1731, and instituted a similar family Purim celebration in consequence. {{EB1911 Fine Print|See Biblical Dictionaries of Hastings and Cheyne, ''s.v.''; ''Jew''.

It is found in many animal liquids and organs and in the seeds of many plants, and was discovered by J. Scherer in milk (Ann. 1850, 73, p. 328) and by A. Strecker in muscle. It crystallizes in needles which decompose at 150° C. It was synthesized by E. Fischer (Ber., 1897, 30, p. 2228) by heating 2-6-8-trichlor urin with aqueous caustic potash, and reducing the dichlorhypoxantfiine so obtained by hydriodic acid. Its aqueous solution shows acid properties, decomposing carbonates. It also forms a hydrochloride, C5H4N4O-HCl-H2O. W en oxidized by hydrochloric acid and potassium chlorate it yields alloxan and urea, whilst with potassium permanganate it gives oxalic acid. 3-Methyihypoxanthine was synthesized by W. Traube and F. Winter (Arch. Pharm., 1906, 244, p. 11), whilst 8-oxypurin was obtained by E. Fischer and L. Ach in 1897 (Ber., 30, p. 2213), and by O. Isay (Ber., 1906, 39, p. 251). V Xanthine, C5H4N4O2, or 2-6-dioxypurin, was discovered in 1817 by Marcet in a urinary calculus; it also occurs in various animal organs (the liver, pancreas and muscular tissue), in urine, and in beetroot juice. It may be prepared by boiling nuclein with water (A. Kossel, Zeit. physiol. Chem., 1880, 4, . 290); by the decomposition of guanine with nitrous acid (A. gtrecker, Ann., 1858, 108, p. 14I); and by heating the formyl derivative of 4- 5-diamino-2 -6-di0xypyrimidine to 120° C.

During the summer it is west or west-south-west in the south of Sweden, changes to south-west in the middle part of the country, and due south along the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia. In winter north-north-east winds become comparatively frequent in the north part of the country. This is explained by {{EB9 Margin Note|Barometer.|6em}} the difference in barometric pressure in summer and in winter. In July the mean height of the barometer indicates a gradual fall along the coast of the Baltic, from 29.828 inches in Calmar to 29.675 in Haparanda. In January, on the other hand, there is a gradual fall from 29.853 in Calmar to 29.718 in Hernösand, but thereafter a gradual rise to 29.834 in Haparanda. Unfortunately the isobarometric lines for Sweden have not yet been calculated with due precision.}} {{EB9 Margin Note|Rainfall.}} {{EB1911 fine print|The rainfall is greatest on the coast of the Cattegat. The annual amount is greatest at Gothenburg, where it is 32.56 inches. At Halmstad it is 28.26, and at Venersborg, where Göta Elf issues from Lake Vener, it is 30.33. These are the rainiest stations of Sweden. Generally speaking, the amount of rain diminishes afterwards as well towards north and north-west as towards south-east. The least rain falls on the one hand in northern Lapland, where the annual amount is only 15.52 inches, and on the other hand in the south-eastern corner of Sweden, where (at Calmar) we have the lowest known rainfall for the whole country (12.75 inches). Between these two tracts there runs a belt of greater precipitation from Gothenburg towards the north-east to Upsala, where the annual amount is 23.28. Even along this belt the amount of rainfall diminishes towards the north-east, but at every point the amount is greater than to the north-west and south-east of it. The greatest amount of rain falls in July and August and the least in February and March. Thus, for instance, there fall in Upsala during August 2.86 inches and during March 0.99 inches. As the temperature varies, so does the rainfall for different years.}} {{EB9 Margin Note|Thunderstorms.|8em}} {{EB1911 fine print|The number of thunderstorms is small in Sweden compared with the countries of the south. Their number diminishes as does the precipitation from south-west towards north and east. From 1871 to 1880 the mean annual number of thunderstorms at each station was 9.5 in Götaland, 8.4 in Svealand, and only 6.3 in Norrland. In the south their number diminishes rapidly from west to east, from 11 on the coast of the Cattegat to 8.3 on the coast of the Baltic, and only 6.6 on the isle of Gotland. The thunderstorms have a distinctly marked annual and daily period. They occur almost always during the warmest time of the year and of the day. During the above-mentioned ten years the least number occurred during the month of February, only 3, whereas there occurred in May 1194, in June 3724, in July 4419, in August 3306, and in September 1461. As regards the daily period, the least number, 147, occurred between 1 and 2 {{asc|A.M.}}, and the greatest, 1704, between 3 and 4 {{asc|P.

Hail, which on the Continent causes such immense damage to the growing crops, is rare in Sweden, and often quite harmless. In the south of Germany about 2 per cent. of the crops are annually destroyed by hail. At Magdeburg the damage is 0.9 per cent., at Berlin 0.6 to 0.7 per cent., but in Sweden only 0.06 per cent. ([[Author:H. H. Hildebrandsson|H. H.

Three great divisions of this formation may be distinguished,—the grey gneiss, the red iron gneiss, and the granulite.}} {{EB1911 fine print|The grey gneiss rules in the northern and western parts of the country, from West Norrland down to the province of Calmar. The rock has a prevalent grey colour, and contains as characteristic minerals garnet and in some parts graphite. The red iron gneiss prevails in western Sweden in the provinces of Vermland, Skaraborg, Elfsborg, and down to the province of <!-- column 2 --> Christianstad. The formation is very uniform in its character, the gneiss having a red colour and containing small granules of magnetite, but, nevertheless, not a single iron-mine belongs to this region. The red gneiss contains in many places beds or masses of hyperite. The granulite, also called eurite and hälleflinta, is the most important of the Pre-Cambrian formation, as it contains all the metalliferous deposits of Sweden. It prevails in the middle part of the country, in the provinces of Vermlaud, Kopparberg, Vestmanlaud, and Upsala. It occurs also in some parts of the pro- vinces of Östergötland, Calmar, and Kronoberg. The main rock in this region consists of hälleflinta, a kind of very compact and fine-grained mixture of feldspar, quartz, and mica, often graduating to mica schists, quartzite, and gneiss. With these rocks are often associated limestones, dolomites, and marbles containing serpentine (Kolmården). The metalliferous deposits have generally the form of beds or layers between the strata of granulite and limestones. They are often highly contorted and dislocated. The iron-mines occur imbedded in more or less fine-grained gneiss or granulite (Gellivaara, Grängesberg, Norberg, Striberg), or separated from the granulite by masses of augitic and amphibolous minerals (''grönskarn''), as in Persberg and Nordmark. Sometimes they are surrounded by hälleflinta and limestone, as at Dannemora, Långban, Pajsberg, and then carry manganiferous minerals. Argentiferous galena occurs at Sala in limestone, surrounded by granulite, and at Guldsmedshytta (province of Örebro) in dark hälleflinta. Copper pyrites occurs at Falun in mica-schists, surrounded by hälleflinta. Zinc blende occurs in large masses at Ammeberg, near the northern end of Lake Vetter. The cobalt ore consists of cobalt-glance (Tunaberg in the province of Södermanland) and of linneite (at Gladhammar, near Vestervik). The nickel ore of Sweden is magnetic pyrites, containing only a very small percentage of nickel. The magnetic pyrites occurs generally imbedded in diorite and greenstones. In the evidently most recent division of the granulite occurs clay-slate (at Grythytta in the province of Örebro). Large masses of granite are found in many parts of Sweden, and form extensive massiffs as in the provinces of Kronoberg, Örebro, Göteborg, Stockholm, &c. Sometimes the granite graduates into gneiss; sometimes (as north of Stockholm) it encloses large angular pieces of gneiss. In many parts of Sweden occur greenstones, as hyperite, gabbro (anorthite-gabbro at Rådmansö in the province of Stockholm), and diorite, the last often forming beds between the strata of the gneiss. The Cambrian formation occurs generally associated with the Lower Silurian, and consists of many divisions. The oldest is a sandstone, in which are found traces of worms, impressions of ''Medusæ'', and shells of ''Lingula''. The upper divisions consist of bituminous limestones, clay-slates, alum-slate, and contain numerous species of trilobites of the genera ''Paradoxides'', ''Conocoryphe'', ''Agnostus'', ''Sphærophthalmus'', ''Peltura'', &c. In Öland and north of Siljan are found beds with ''Obolus''. The Lower Silurian consists of the following divisions: (1) beds with ''Cerotopyge''; (2) schists with Graptolites; (3) large beds of red and grey limestone (200 feet in thickness) containing ''Megalaspis'' and ''Orthoceratites''. This limestone is largely used as building material; (4) slates with ''Trinucleus''; (5) slates with Brachiopods; (6) slates with Graptolites. The Cambrian and Lower Silurian strata occur scattered in several places from Vesterbotten down to Jemtland (around Storsjön), and in the provinces of Skaraborg, Elfsborg, Örebro, Östergötland, and Christianstad. The whole of the island of Öland consists of these strata. The strata are in most places very little disturbed, and form horizontal or slightly inclined layers. They are, south of Lake Vener, capped by thick beds of eruptive diabase (called ''trapp''). North of Lake Siljan (province of Kopparberg) occur Lower Silurian but not Cambrian strata, which have been very much dislocated. The Upper Silurian has in Sweden almost the same character as the Wenlock and Ludlow formation of England. The island of Gotland consists entirely of this formation, which occurs also in some parts of the province of Christianstad. In the western part of the province of Kopparberg are extensive deposits of sandstone, separated by beds of diabase, and seemingly of the same age,—the Middle Silurian,—but no fossils have been found in them. In the vicinity of this sandstone region are large beds and massiffs of porphyries. There are still two sets of stratified, not fossiliferous, deposits, viz., in the province of Elfsborg (formation of Dalsland) and around Lake Vetter (formation of Visingsö). The Dalsland formation, which attains the thickness of 6000 to 7000 feet, consists of conglomerates, chlorite schists, quartzites, and mica schists. The Visingsö formation, 800 to 1000 feet in thickness, consists of sandstones, clay-slate, &c. In the western and northern alpine part of Sweden, near the boundaries of Norway, the Silurian strata are covered by crystalline rocks, mica schists, quartzites, &c., of an enormous thickness. These rocks form the mass of the high mountain of Åreskutan, &c.

The budg-et for 1919 was $7,236,668. The Cincinnati Water Works are municipally owned. They have a rated capacity of 128,000,000 gallons per day; the daily consumption is in the neighborhood of 60,000,000 gallons. The pressure varies in different places from 40 to 170 pounds. The water works is self-supporting; all its needed revenue is derived from the sale of water, and none from taxes. Cincinnati, named in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, was first settled by white men in 1780, and was incorporated as a city in 1819. Mounds containing various relics show that a portion of the site of the city was anciently occupied. The first steamboat descending from Pittsburgh visited the town in 1811; the first railway was opened in 1845; the first Roman Catholic bishop was consecrated in 1822; and the city has been an archiepiscopal see since 1850. <section end="Cincinnati" /><section begin="Cincinnati (society)" /> '''CINCINNATI''', a society or order in the United States, established by the officers of the Revolutionary army in 1783, “to perpetuate their friendship, and to raise a fund for relieving the widows and orphans of those who had fallen during the war.” It was so named because it included patriots, headed by Washington, who in many instances had left rural affairs to serve their country (see {{Collier's article link|Cincinnatus|Cincinnatus, Lucius Quinctius}}). The badge of the society is a bald eagle suspended by a dark-blue ribbon with white borders, symbolizing the union of France and the United States. On the breast of the eagle there is a figure of Cincinnatus receiving the military ensigns from the senators, round the whole are the words “Omnia relinquit servare rempublicam.” As this distinction was made hereditary, it was attacked as opposed to republican equality. Franklin saw in it the germ of a future aristocracy; and at a meeting held in Philadelphia in 1784 several changes were made in the constitution of the society, the right of succession being made conditional on approval in each case by the society. Membership descends to the eldest lineal male descendant, if judged worthy, and, in failure of direct male descent, to male descendants through intervening female descendants. The general society is composed of the general officers and five delegates from each State society, and meets triennially. In 1854 it ruled that proper descendants of Revolutionary officers who were entitled to original membership, but who never could avail themselves of it, are qualified for hereditary membership, if found worthy, on due application. There are about 1,000 living members.

The messengers of the senate found him at work on his farm when they came to summon him to the dictatorship. He rescued the army from its peril, and then returned quietly to his farm.

The invention is to be credited to two brothers, Lumière of Lyons, France. The principle on which it is founded is the same as that of Edison's kinetoscope, namely, the persistence of vision. The device consists of a photographing band or film about an inch and a quarter wide, and with a minimum length of 50 feet. This is exposed in a cinematograph. The band is wound around a drum and passes from this to a series of compensating drums into a position behind the lense of the camera. The shutter of this lense opens sixteen times a second for a period of perhaps one-hundredth of a second. In the intervals of the shutter being closed the film is pulled forward for about three-quarters of an inch for a second exposure, and so on. The mechanism is usually worked by a crank which turns at a rate of twice a second. After the exposure the film is developed and wound upon a large drum.

After unwearied diligence he was successful in collecting 12,000 lines. These he arranged as methodically as he could into thirty-two runes or cantos, which he published exactly as he heard them sung or chanted. Continuing his researches, Dr Lönnrot published in 1849 a new edition of 22,793 verses, in 50 runes. The importance of this indigenous epic, as it may be fairly styled, was at once recognized in Europe, and translations were made into Swedish, German, and French. A few specimens have also been translated into English by the late Professor A. Porter, of Yale College, and published at New York (1868). The best foreign editions are those of Castren in Swedish (1844), Leouzon le Duc in French (1845 and 1868), Schiefner in German (1852). The poem has besides given rise to a considerable amount of critical literature, which is worthy of the attention of the comparative mythologist. The poem is written in eight-syllabled trochaic verse, and an idea of its style may be obtained from Longfellow's ''Hiawatha'', which is a pretty true imitation of the Finnish epic. Of the merits and importance of the poem Professor Max Müller, than whom there could be no better judge, speaks thus:—“From the mouths of the aged an epic poem has been collected, equalling the ''Iliad'' in length and completeness; nay—if we can forget for a moment all that we in our youth learned to call beautiful—not less beautiful. A Finn is not a Greek, and a Wainamoinen was not a Homer. But if the poet may take his colours from that nature by which he is surrounded, if he may depict the men with whom he lives, ''Kalewala'' possesses merits not dissimilar from those of the ''Iliad'', and will claim its place as the fifth national epic of the world, side by side with the Ionian songs, with the ''Mahábhárata'', the ''Shahnámeh'', and the ''Nibelunge''.” The ''Kalewala'' is concerned entirely with the mythology or folk-lore of the people. In the story there is a certain unity of plot, though the various parts are not perfectly homogeneous, and are evidently the product of different minds at different times, the various songs having evidently received additions in course of time. Indeed, it is probable that the origin of the songs must be sought for in a time when the various branches of the Finns were not so scattered as they are now, certainly before their conversion to Christianity, though in the conclusion there seem to be one or two allusions to Christian subjects. The poem takes its name from the three heroes of Kaleva, the land of plenty and happiness, Wåinåmöinen, Ilmarinen, and Lemmin-Kåinen; it is the struggles of these with Louhi, Hüse, Yorukahainen, and others from Pohjola, a land of the cold north, and from Luonela, the land of death, that are sung. The poem begins with the creation of the world, and after many varied events, ends in the triumph of Wåinåmöinen and his followers. At the time that Dr Lönnrot collected the Kalewala songs he also collected a considerable quantity of lyric poetry, which he published under the name of ''Kanteletar'', from the name of the national instrument to which they are sung—''Kantele'', a species of harp with five strings. Of recent poets the most popular seems to be Paavo Korrhoinen, a peasant whose productions are characterized by sharp and biting sarcasm. His songs were published at Helsingfors in 1848. Other modern poets are Marteska, Kettunen, Ilahainen, Oksaselta. The Finns are strong in proverbs, Lönnrot having published a collection of upwards of 7000, with about 2000 charades, while considerable collections of legends and tales have been published. The first book printed in Finnish was in the middle of the 16th century, and was probably the ''Abecedarium'' (1543) of Michael Agricola, bishop of Åbo. A translation of the New Testament by the same bishop appeared in 1548, at <!-- column 2 --> Stockholm. The whole Bible was not translated into Finnish till 1642. Even during last, but especially during the present century, there has been considerable literary activity in Finland, so that now books in almost every branch of research are found in the language, mainly translations or adaptations. We meet with, during the present century, a considerable number of names of poets and dramatists, no doubt very minor, as also painters, sculptors, and musical composers. At the Paris International Exhibition of 1878 several native Finnish painters and sculptors exhibited works which would do credit to any country; and both in the fine and applied arts Finland occupied a position thoroughly creditable. An important contribution to a history of Finnish literature is Krohn's ''Suomenkielinen'' ''runollisuns ruotsinvallan aikana'' (1862). Finland is wonderfully rich in periodicals of all kinds, the publications of the Finnish Societies of Literature and of Sciences and other learned bodies being specially valuable. The Finnish Literary Society has within the last few years published a new edition of the works of the father of Finnish history, Henry Gabriel Porthan (died 1804). A valuable handbook of Finnish history was published at Helsingfors in 1869-73, by Yrjö Koskinen, and has been translated into both Swedish and German. The author, however, is understood to be really a Swede, whose name is Georg Forsman, the above form being a Finnish translation. Other works on Finnish history have also appeared within the last four or five years. Some important works in Finnish geography have also appeared during the same period. In language we have Lönnrot's great Finnish-Swedish dictionary, now being published by the Finnish Literary Society. In this connexion the student may be glad to know of Dr Donner's ''Comparative Dictionary of the Finno-Ugric Languages'' (Helsingfors and Leipsic), in German. In other departments works of importance have not been infrequent during the present decade; most of them apparently are in Swedish. A valuable sketch of recent Finnish literature will be found in the ''Russische Revue'' (iv. Jahrgang, 4 and 6 Hefte). ([[Author:John Scott Keltie|{{asc|J. S.

His father, Major John Finlay, R.E., F.R.S., who had held for some time the post of inspector of the Government powder-mills at Faversham and Waltham Abbey, died when George was still very young (1802); but the boy has left on record how his interest in historical studies was awakened at a very early age by the manner in which his mother used to explain the history of England. On the second marriage of his mother, he was sent to a boarding-school near Liverpool, where he spent three years,—not very profitably, according to his own account. Afterwards his education was continued in more favourable circumstances under a private tutor in the house of his uncle, Mr Kirkman Finlay, who at that time sat as member of parliament for the Glasgow district of burghs. While making good progress in his literary education, he at the same time laid up pleasant and life-long memories of the boating, fishing, and pedestrian excursions for which the picturesque shores of the Firth of Clyde offer so many delightful facilities. At one time he had entertained thoughts of entering the army; but having been dissuaded from this by his friends, he ultimately, at the close of his university curriculum in arts, made choice of the legal profession. He received his preliminary technical training in a writer's office in Glasgow, and, when little over twenty years of age, went to Göttingen to complete his studies in Roman law. But before this time he had begun to feel a deep interest in the contemporary affairs of Greece, and at the Hanoverian university he was wholly unable to {{hyphenated word start|with|withdraw}}<section end="Finlay, George" /><noinclude></noinclude> 5einjnkou92nglkm2jyovxfm2hcd7z3 Page:Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition, v. 12.djvu/637 104 1946592 12506925 7942977 2022-07-24T18:06:33Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Library Guy" />{{rh||{{x-larger|ICELAND}}|{{x-larger|619}}}}</noinclude>The state church of Iceland is the Lutheran; and all the Icelanders, without exception, belong to it. One bishop and 141 clergymen minister to the spiritual wants of the islanders. The bishop is appointed by the king. The parishes are 290, but the livings are only 141, from which it may be seen that many ministers have to serve two, and some even three parishes. The king appoints some of the ministers, and the governor-general others, with the advice of the bishop. The ministers are paid partly from the revenues of church property, and partly from tithes. {{EB9 Margin Note|Education.|6em}} The Icelanders have long been famous for their education and learning, and it is no exaggeration to say that in no other country is such an amount of information found among the classes which occupy a similar position. A child of ten unable to read is not to be found from one end of the island to another. A peasant understanding several languages is no rarity, and the amount of general information which they possess might be envied by many who have had greater facilities for acquiring knowledge. Till within the last few years there were no elementary schools in the island; all children were taught by their parents or near neighbours. Now a few elementary schools have been started, but their number is still too small to make any general difference in the education. For classical and general education there is a college at Reykjavik, with seven professors and about one hundred students. There is also a college for ministers, with three professors. The general physician of the island, assisted by two medical men, gives lectures to medical students; but those who propose to enter the legal profession have to attend the university of Copenhagen. {{EB9 Margin Note|National characteristics.|9em}} There is less difference in the material prosperity of the Icelanders than in that of the inhabitants of more advanced countries. One does not find the abject poverty so often seen in large towns and among the agricultural population of some of the most civilized countries of Europe. On the other hand, wealthy men, or owners of extensive properties, are unknown, the richest man in Iceland deriving only £300 a year from his property. Although no abject <!-- column 2 --> poverty is seen, there are more paupers comparatively than in more populous countries, and the poor-rates in many parishes exceed all the other taxes put together. The Icelanders are often too liberal in granting relief, which in many cases breeds idleness, carelessness, and want of forethought. It is also to be noticed that in few countries is it so easy to live with as little labour as in Iceland. On account of the climate, out-of-door work cannot be conducted for more than five months of the year at most, but even this time is not used, with so much energy and skill as it might be. The haymaking, carried on for two months in the year, is the only work which is prosecuted with anything like energy. Fishing is prosecuted not continuously but periodically. The want of activity among the Icelanders is to be ascribed partly to their slow temperament, and partly to their utter want of training. They are very fond of gathering any amount of miscellaneous information, but their want of training prevents them from turning it to practical account. There is no doubt that they are endowed with intellectual faculties of a superior kind, and, with proper training, might make far more of their country than they do at present. It appears that the island could easily support eight times the number of the present population, if its resources were properly developed. Crime is rare; and the moral character of the Icelanders is about the same as that of the other countries of the north. The census of 1870 returned the population of the island as 69,763. In 1801 the population was only 46,240; in 1880 it is estimated to have increased to 73,000. The birth-rate is about 33 per thousand, and the death-rate 24. Nearly the whole of the population live on isolated farms, the number of each family, including servants, being on an average seven. The chief town or village is Reykjavík, with about 2500 inhabitants. It is the seat of the governor-general, the bishop, the colleges, and the superior court. In the north-west is Isafjörður, with about 400 inhabitants, and in the north Akureyri, with the same number. ([[Author:J. A. Hjaltalin|{{asc|J. A.

He was always a devoted and an industrious musician, and from the day he left Leipzig his influence was powerfully exerted in favour of a wider and fuller recognition of musical culture. He was accused in some quarters of being unsympathetic towards Wagner and the post-Wagnerians, yet he had been one of the first to introduce Wagner’s music to English audiences. He was keenly appreciative of new talent, but his tastes were too eclectic to satisfy the enthusiasts for any particular school; he certainly had no liking for what he considered uninspired academic writing. Serious critics deplored, with more justification, that he should have devoted so much of his great natural gift not merely to light comic opera, but to the production of a number of songs which, though always musicianly, were really of the nature of “pot-boiling.” Sullivan was an extremely rapid worker, and his fertility in melody made it easy for him to produce what would please a large public. Moreover, it must be admitted that his great social success, so early achieved, was not calculated to nourish a rigidly artistic ideal. But when all is said, his genius remains undisputed; and it was a genius essentially English. His church music alone would entitle him to a high place among composers; and ''The Golden Legend'', ''Ivanhoe''; the ''In Memoriam'' overture, the “Irish” symphony and the charming “incidental music” to ''The Tempest'' and to ''Henry&nbsp;VIII''. form a splendid legacy of creative effort, characterized by the highest scholarly qualities in addition to those beauties which appeal to every ear. Whether his memory will be chiefly associated with these works, or rather with the world-wide popularity of some of his songs and comic operas, time alone can tell. The Savoy operas did not aim at intellectual or emotional grandeur, but at providing innocent and wholesome pleasure; and in giving musical form to Gilbert’s witty librettos Sullivan showed once for all what light opera may be when treated by the hand of a master. His scores are as humorous and fanciful ''quâ'' music as Gilbert’s verses are ''quâ'' dramatic literature. Bubbling melody, consummate orchestration, lovely song’s and concerted pieces (notably the famous vocal quintets) flowed from his pen in unexhausted and inimitable profusion. If he had written nothing else, his unique success in this field would have been a solid title to fame. As it was, it is Sir Arthur Sullivan’s special distinction not only to have been prolific in music which went straight to the hearts of the people, but to have enriched the English repertoire with acknowledged masterpieces, which are no less remarkable for their technical accomplishment. {{EB1911 Fine Print|See also ''Sir Arthur Sullivan: Life-story'', ''Letters'', ''and Reminiscences'', by Arthur Lawrence (London: Bowden, 1899).

He studied law in Portsmouth, N.H., and practised at Berwick, Maine, and at Durham, N.H. He was a member of the New Hampshire Provincial Assembly in 1774, and in 1774–1775 was a delegate to the Continental Congress. In 1772 he had been commissioned a major of New Hampshire militia, and on the 15th of December 1774 he and John Langdon led an expedition which captured Fort William and Mary at New Castle. Sullivan was appointed a brigadier-general in the Continental army in June 1775 and. a major-general in August 1776. He commanded a brigade in the siege of Boston. In June 1776 he took command of the American army in Canada and after an unsuccessful skirmish with the British at Three Rivers (June 8) retreated to Crown Point. Rejoining Washington’s army, he served under General Israel Putnam in the battle of Long Island (August 27) and was taken prisoner. Released on parole, he bore a verbal message from Lord Howe to the Continental Congress, which led to the fruitless conference on Staten Island. In December he was exchanged, succeeded General Charles Lee in command of the right wing of Washington’s army, in the battle of Trenton led an attack on the Hessians, and led a night attack against British and Loyalists on Staten Island, on the 22nd of August 1777. In the battle of <!-- col break --> Brandywine (Sept. 11, 1777) he again commanded the American right; he took part in the battle of Germantown (Oct. 4, 1777); in March 1778 he was placed in command in Rhode Island, and in the following summer plans were made for his co-operation with the French fleet under Count d’Estaing in an attack on Newport, which came to nothing. Sullivan after a brief engagement (Aug. 29) at Quaker Hill, at the N. end of the island of Rhode Island, was obliged to retreat. In 1779 Sullivan, with about 4000 men, defeated the Iroquois and their Loyalist allies at Newtown (now Elmira), New York, on the 29th of August, burned their villages, and destroyed their orchards and crops. Although severely criticised for his conduct of the expedition, he received, in October 1779, the thanks of Congress. In November he resigned from the army. Sullivan was again a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1780–1781 and, having accepted a loan from the French minister, Chevalier de la Luzerne, he was charged with being influenced by the French in voting not to make the right to the north-east fisheries a condition of peace. From 1782 to 1785 he was attorney-general of New Hampshire. He was president of the state in 1786–1787 and in 1789, and in 1786 suppressed an insurrection at Exeter immediately preceding the Shays Rebellion in Massachusetts. He presided over the New Hampshire convention which ratified the Federal constitution in June 1788. From 1789 until his death at Durham, on the 23rd of January 1795, he was United States District Judge for New Hampshire. {{EB1911 Fine Print|See O. W. B.

His earliest successes were in romantic drama, for which his graceful figure and youthful enthusiasm fitted him. His first London appearance was in 1852 in Hamlet, and he was also successful as Angiolo in Miss Vandenhoff’s ''Woman’s Heart'', Evelyn in ''Money'' and Hardman in Lord Lytton’s ''Not so Bad as we Seem''. Claude Melnotte—with Helen Faucit as Pauline—was also a notable performance. A tour of America in 1857 preceded his going to Australia (1861) for six years, as actor and manager. He completed a trip round the world in 1866. From 1868–1870 he managed the Holbom theatre, where Beverley in The Gamester was one of his most powerful impersonations. Afterwards he travelled over the United States, Canada, Australia and England. Among his later London performances were several Shakespearian parts, his best, perhaps, being Richard&nbsp;III. He was the Benedick of the cast of ''Much Ado About Nothing'' with which the Shakespeare Memorial was opened at Stratford-on-Avon. He died on the 3rd of May 1891. <section end="s3" /> <section begin="s4" />'''SULLY, JAMES''' (1842–{{gap}}), English psychologist, was born on the 3rd of March 1842 at Bridgwater, and was educated at the Independent College, Taunton, the Regent’s Park College, Göttingen and Berlin. He was originally destined for the Nonconformist ministry, but in 1871 adopted a literary and philosophic career. He was Grote professor of the philosophy of mind logic at University College, London, from 1892 to 1903, when he was succeeded by Carveth Read. An adherent of the associationist school of psychology, his views had great affinity with those of Alexander Bain.

J. M. Raynouard, ''Monuments historiques, relatifs à la condamnation des chevaliers du Temple'', &c. (Paris, 1813).</ref> The challenge was taken up, among others, by the famous orientalist Friedrich von Hammer-Purgstall, who in 1818 published his ''Mysterium Baphometis revelatum'',<ref>In vol. vi. of ''Fundgruben des'' ''Orients'' (Vienna, 1818). In reply to his critics Hammer published in 1855 his “Die Schuld der Templer” (K. ''Akad. zu Wien Denkschrift.'', vi.), in which he reproduced drawings of two remarkable caskets, sculptured with Gnostic pictures, from the former collection of the duc de Blacas, said to have been found on the sites of Temples. To the present writer the evidence that any of these objects had been connected with the Templars seemed singularly unconvincing even before he had seen the trenchant criticisms of Wilcke (ii. 290, ed. 1862, Beilae 22) and Loiseleur (''Doctrine secrète'', 4me partie, p. 97 seq.). If such objects existed, why were none brought up as evidence against the Templars at their trial?</ref> an attempt to prove that the Templars followed the doctrines and rites of the Gnostic Ophites, the argument being fortified with reproductions of obscene representations of supposed Gnostic ceremonies and of mystic symbols said to have been found in the Templars’ buildings. Wilcke, while rejecting Hammer’s main conclusions as unproved, argued in favour of the existence of a secret doctrine based, not on Gnosticism, but on the Unitarianism of Islam, of which Baphomet (Mahomet) was the symbol.<ref>Wilhelm Ferdinand Wilcke, ''Geschichte des Tempelherrenordens'' (3 vols. Leipzig, 1826 ff., 2nd ed., enlarged and revised 1860).</ref> On the other hand, Wilhelm Havemann (''Geschichte'' ''des Auxganges des Tempelherrenordens'', Stuttgart and Tübingen, 1846) decided in favour of the innocence of the order. This view was also taken by a succession of German scholars, in England by C. G. Addison, and in France by a whole series of conspicuous writers: e.g. Mignet, Guizot, Renan, Lavocat. Others, like Boutaric,<ref>Edgard Boutaric, ''La France sous Philippe le Bel'' (Paris, 1861), pp. 140 seq.</ref> while rejecting the charge of heresy, accepted the evidence for the ''spuitio'' and the indecent kisses, explaining the former as a formula of forgotten meaning and the latter as a sign of ''fraternité!'' Michelet, who in his history of France had expressed himself favourably to the order, announced his conversion to the opposite opinion in the prefaces to his edition of the Procès. This view was reinforced by the work in which Loiseleur endeavoured to prove that the order had secretly rejected Christianity in favour of an heretical religion based on Gnostic dualism as taught by the Cathari;<ref>J. Loiseleur, ''La Doctrine secrète des Templiers'' (Orleans, 1872).</ref> it was crowned with the high authority of Ranke in the great ''Weltgeschichte'' (8 Theil, 1887, p. 621 ff.); it has been adopted in the later ''Weltgeschichte'' of Weber (8 Theil, 1887, p. 521 ff.). The greatest impulse to this view was, however, given by the brilliant contributions of Hans Prutz. The first of these, the ''Geheimlehre'', in the main an expansion of Loiseleur’s argument, at once raised up a host of critics; and, as a result of five years study of the archives at Rome and elsewhere, Konrad Schottmüller published in 1887 his ''Untergang des Templerordens'', in which he claimed to have crushed Prutz’s conclusions under the weight of a mass of new evidence. The work was, however, uncritical and full of conspicuous errors, and Prutz had little difficulty in turning many of its author’s arguments against himself. This was done in the ''Entwicklung und Untergang des Tempelherrenordens'' (1888), in which, however, Prutz modifies his earlier views so far as to withdraw his contention that the Templars had a “formally developed secret doctrine,” while maintaining that the custom of denying Christ and spitting on the cross was often, and in some provinces universally, practised at the reception of the brethren, “as a coarse test of obedience, of which the original sense had partly been forgotten, partly heretic ally interpreted under the influence of later heresies.”<ref>Prutz points out, with much truth, that the failure of the Crusades had weakened men’s absolute belief in Christianity, at least as represented by the medieval Church (''Kulturgeschichte der'' ''Kreuzzüge'', p. 268 ff.). Walther von der Vogelweide had merely accused the archangels of neglecting their duty (Pfeiffer’s ed. 1880, p. 288); a Templar minstrel complained that God Himself had fallen asleep! (Prutz, ''Tempelherrenorden'', 126.)</ref> This view was maintained by Mr T. A. Archer in the 9th ed. of the ''Encyclopaedia Britannica''. It was criticized and rejected by Döllinger in the last of his university lectures (19th Nov. 1889), and by Karl Wenck in several articles in the ''Göttinger Gelehrte Anzeigen''; and it was further attacked by J. Gmelin (''Schuld oder Unschuld'', 2 Bd. 1893), whose work, in spite of its somewhat ponderous polemic, is valuable as a mine of learning and by reason of the sources (notably the tables of the evidence taken at the trials which it publishes. H. C. Lea, in his ''History'' ''of the Inquisition'' (1888, vol. iii.), had already come independently to the conclusion that the Templars were innocent. Lastly appeared the fascinatingly interesting and closely reasoned book of Professor H. Finke (1907) which, based partly on a mass of new material drawn from the Aragonese archives, had for its object to supplement the work of Gmelin and to establish the innocence of the order on an incontrovertible basis. <!--column 2--> In the opinion of the present writer, the defenders of the order have proved their case. Even the late Mr Archer, who took the contrary view, was inclined to restrict it to the Templars in France. “The opinion that the monstrous charges brought against the Templars were false,” he wrote (Ency. Brit., 9th ed. xiii. 164), “and that the confessions were only extracted by torture is supported by the general results of the investigation (in almost every country outside France), as we have them collected in Raynouard, Labbe, and Du Puy. In Castile, where the king flung them into prison, they were acquitted at the council at Salamanca. In Aragon, where they held out for a time in their fortresses against the royal power, the council of Tarragona proclaimed in their favour (4th November 1312). In Portugal the commissioners reported that there were no grounds for accusation. At Mainz the council pronounced the order blameless. At Treves, at Messina, and at Bologna, in Romagna and in Cyprus, they were either acquitted or no evidence was forthcoming against them. At the council of Ravenna the question as to whether torture should be used was answered in the negative except by two Dominicans; all the Templars were absolved—even those who had confessed through fear of torture being pronounced innocent (18th June 1310). Six Templars were examined at Florence, and their evidence is for its length the most remarkable of all that is still extant. Roughly speaking, they confess with the most elaborate detail to every charge, even the most loathsome; and the perusal of their evidence induces a constant suspicion that their answers were practically dictated to them in the process of the examination or invented by the witnesses themselves.<ref>See the evidence in full, ap. Loiseleur, pp. 172-212.</ref> In England, where perhaps torture was not used, out of eighty Templars examined only four confessed to the charge of denying Christ, and of these four two were apostate knights. But some English Templars would only guarantee the purity of their own country. That in England as elsewhere the charges were held to be not absolutely proved seems evident from the form of confession to be used before absolution, in which the Templars acknowledge themselves to be defamed in the matter of certain articles that they cannot purge themselves. In England nearly all the worst evidence comes at second or third hand or through the depositions of Franciscans and Dominicans,” ''i.e.'' the rivals and enemies of the order. But what is the nature of the evidence “too strong to be explained away” on which Mr Archer bases his opinion that certain of the charges were proved “at least in France”? The modern practice of the English courts tends to discount alto ether the value as evidence of confessions, even freely made. What is the value of these confessions of the Templars which lie before us in the Tables published by Gmelin? The procedure of the Inquisition left no alternative to those accused on “vehement suspicion" of heresy, but confession or death under lingering torture; to withdraw a confession, meant instant death by fire. The Templars, for the most part simple and illiterate men, were suddenly arrested, cast separately into dark dungeons, loaded with chains, starved, terrorized, and tortured. They were told the charges to which their leaders had confessed, or were said to have confessed: to repeat the monotonous formula admitting the ''spuitio super crucem'' and the like was to obtain their freedom at the cost of a comparatively mild penance. The wonder is not that so many confessed, but that so many persisted in their denial. The evidence, in short, is, from the modern point of view, wholly worthless, as even some contemporaries suspected it to be. A word must be added as to the significance of the work of the Templars and of the manner of their fall in the history of the world. Two great things the order had done for European civilization: in the East and in Spain it had successfully checked the advance of Islam; it had, deepened and given a religious sanction to the idea of the chivalrous man, the ''homo legalis'', and so opened up, to a class of people who for centuries to come were to exercise enormous influence, spheres of activity the beneficent effects of which are still recognizable in the world.<ref>G. Schnürer, quoted in Finke, i. 1.</ref> On the other hand, the destruction of the Templars had three consequences fateful for Christian civilization: (1) It facilitated the conquests of the Turks by preventing the Templars from playing in Cyprus the part which the Knights of St John played in Malta.<ref>In his essay on the Templars (''The Spanish Story of the Armada and other Essays'', 1892) Froude says that the order lacked “the only support that never fails—some legitimate place among the useful agencies of the time.” Was there no use for them against the advancing tide of Turkish conquest in the East? Or in Spain against the Moorish powers? If not, why did the Hospitallers survive? Froude’s contribution is but a popular lecture, however, and, for all its beauty of style, characteristically careless (''e.g.'' such mistakes as Hugh ''von'' Peyraud, Esquin ''von'' Florian).</ref> (2) It partly set a precedent for, partly confirmed, the cruel criminal procedure of France, which lasted to the Revolution.

He was ordained in 1842, and worked as a curate at Cuddesdon. In 1847 he was made tutor of his college, and in 1853 he delivered the Bampton lectures, his subject being “The Atoning Work of Christ viewed in Relation to some Ancient Theories.” These thoughtful and learned lectures established his reputation and did much to clear the ground for subsequent discussions on the subject.

He sided with the party at Oxford which favoured university reform, but this did not prevent him from being appointed provost of his college in 1855. In 1858 he was made preacher at Lincoln’s Inn and there preached some striking sermons, a volume of which he published in 1861. In the same year he edited ''Aids to Faith'', a volume written in opposition to ''Essays and Reviews'', the progressive sentiments of which had stirred up a great storm in the Church of England. In December 1861 he was rewarded with the see of Gloucester and Bristol, and within a twelvemonth he was elevated to the archiepiscopal see of York. In this position his moderate orthodoxy led him to join Archbishop Tait in supporting the Public Worship Regulation Act, and, as president of the northern convocation, he came frequently into sharp collision with the lower house of that body. But if he thus incurred the hostility of the High Church party among the clergy, he was admired by the laity for his strong sense, his clear and forcible reasoning, and his wide knowledge, and he remained to the last a power in the north of England. In his later years he published an address read before the members of the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution (1868), one on ''Design in Nature'', for the Christian Evidence Society, which reached a fifth edition, various charges and pastoral addresses, and he was one of the projectors of ''The Speaker’s Commentary,'' for which he Wrote the “Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels.” He died on the 25th of December 1890. {{EB1911 Fine Print|See the ''Quarterly Review'' (April 1892).}} <section end="s2" /> <section begin="s4" />'''THOR,''' one of the chief deities of the heathen Scandinavians. He is represented as a middle-aged man of enormous strength, quick to anger, but benevolent towards mankind. To the harmful race of giants (demons), on the other hand, he was an implacable foe, and many stories are told in the poetic and prose Eddas of the destruction which he brought upon them at various times with his hammer. On the whole his figure is somewhat secondary in the mythology to that of Odin, who is represented as his father. But there is no doubt that in Iceland he was worshipped more than any other god, and the same seems to have been the case in Norway—indeed, perhaps, in all northern countries—except among the royal families. Even in the great temple at Upsala his figure is said to have occupied the chief place. There is evidence that a corresponding deity named Thunor or Thonar was worshipped in England and on the Continent, but little information is obtainable regarding him, except that he was identified with the Roman Jupiter. His name is identical with the Teutonic word for thunder, and even in Sweden the association of Thor with the thunder seems not to have been forgotten. Outside the Teutonic area he has close affinities not only with Jupiter or Zeus, but still more with the Lithuanian god Perkunas, whose name (which likewise means “thunder”) appears to be connected with that of Thor’s mother (Fiörgyn). The Varangian god Perun was probably Thor himself under a Slavonic name (Russian ''perun'', “thunderbolt”). {{EB1911 Fine Print|See H.

Thorbecke was of German extraction, his grandfather, Heinrich Thorbecke, having settled in Overijssel towards the end of the 17th century. Little is known of his youth, beyond the fact that he was sent in the year of Waterloo to Amsterdam for his education. For two years he stayed with a Lutheran clergyman of the name of Sartorius, whilst attending the lectures of the Athenaeum Illustre. In 1817 he commenced his studies at Leiden University, proving a brilliant scholar, and twice obtaining a gold medal for his prize essays. In 1820 he obtained the degrees of Lit.D. and LL.D. In the following years Thorbecke undertook a journey of research and study in Germany, staying at most of her famous universities, and making the acquaintance of his best-known contemporaries in the fatherland. At Giessen he lectured as an extraordinary professor, and at Göttingen, in 1824, published his treatise, ''Ueber das Wesen der Geschichte''. After his return to Amsterdam in 1824 Thorbecke wrote his first political work of any importance, ''Bedenkingen aangaande het Recht en den Staal'' “Objections anent Law and the State”), which by its close reasoning and its legal acumen at once drew attention to the young barrister, and procured him in 1825 a chair as professor in Ghent University. Here he wrote two pamphlets of an educational character before 1830. The Belgian revolt of that year forced Thorbecke to resign his position at Ghent, and he subsequently went to Leiden. He did not approve of the Belgian movement, nor of the part that Europe played in it, and published his views in three pamphlets, which appeared in the years 1830 and 1831. In 1831 he was appointed professor of jurisprudence and political science at Leiden University. In that capacity, and, before his appointment at Leiden, as a lecturer on political science, history and economics at Amsterdam, he gained great reputation as a political reformer, particularly after the publication of his standard work, ''Aanteekeningen op de Grondwet'' (“Annotations on the Constitution,” 1839; 2nd ed., Amsterdam, 1841–1843), which became the textbook and the groundwork for the new reform party in Holland, as whose leader Thorbecke was definitely recognized. Thorbecke’s political career until his death, which occurred at the Hague on the 4th of June 1872, is sketched under Holland: History. Thorbecke’s speeches in the Dutch legislature were published at Deventer in six volumes (1867–1870), to which should be added a collection of his unpublished speeches, printed at Groningen in 1900. The first edition of his ''Historische Schetsen'' ("Historical Essays") was issued in 1860, the second in 1872. At Amsterdam there appeared in 1873 a highly interesting Correspondence with his academy friend and lifelong political adversary {{EB1911 lkpl|Groen van Prinsterer, Guillaume|Groen van Prinsterer}} (''q.v.''), which, although dating back to the early 'thirties, throws much light on their subsequent relations and the political events that followed 1848. Of Dutch statesmen during the Napoleonic period, Thorbecke admired Falck and Van Hogendorp most, whose principles he strove to emulate. Of Van Hogendorp’s ''Essays and Speeches'', indeed, he published a standard edition, which is still highly valued. Thorbecke’s speeches form a remarkable continuation of Van Hogendorp’s orations, not only in their style, but also in their train of thought. Thorbecke’s funeral furnished the occasion for an imposing national demonstration, which showed how deeply he was revered by all classes of his countrymen. In 1876 a statue of Thorbecke was unveiled in one of the squares of Amsterdam.

In the same year he edited ''Aids to Faith'', a volume written in opposition to ''Essays and Reviews'', the progressive sentiments of which had stirred up a great storm in the Church of England. In December 1861 he was rewarded with the see of Gloucester and Bristol, and within a twelvemonth he was elevated to the archiepiscopal see of York. In this position his moderate orthodoxy led him to join Archbishop Tait in supporting the Public Worship Regulation Act, and, as president of the northern convocation, he came frequently into sharp collision with the lower house of that body. But if he thus incurred the hostility of the High Church party among the clergy, he was admired by the laity for his strong sense, his clear and forcible reasoning, and his wide knowledge, and he remained to the last a power in the north of England. In his later years he published an address read before the members of the Edinburgh Philosophical Institution (1868), one on ''Design in Nature'', for the Christian Evidence Society, which reached a fifth edition, various charges and pastoral addresses, and he was one of the projectors of ''The Speaker’s Commentary,'' for which he Wrote the “Introduction to the Synoptic Gospels.” He died on the 25th of December 1890. {{EB1911 Fine Print|See the ''Quarterly Review'' (April 1892).}} <section end="s2" /> <section begin="s4" />'''THOR,''' one of the chief deities of the heathen Scandinavians. He is represented as a middle-aged man of enormous strength, quick to anger, but benevolent towards mankind. To the harmful race of giants (demons), on the other hand, he was an implacable foe, and many stories are told in the poetic and prose Eddas of the destruction which he brought upon them at various times with his hammer. On the whole his figure is somewhat secondary in the mythology to that of Odin, who is represented as his father. But there is no doubt that in Iceland he was worshipped more than any other god, and the same seems to have been the case in Norway—indeed, perhaps, in all northern countries—except among the royal families. Even in the great temple at Upsala his figure is said to have occupied the chief place. There is evidence that a corresponding deity named Thunor or Thonar was worshipped in England and on the Continent, but little information is obtainable regarding him, except that he was identified with the Roman Jupiter. His name is identical with the Teutonic word for thunder, and even in Sweden the association of Thor with the thunder seems not to have been forgotten. Outside the Teutonic area he has close affinities not only with Jupiter or Zeus, but still more with the Lithuanian god Perkunas, whose name (which likewise means “thunder”) appears to be connected with that of Thor’s mother (Fiörgyn). The Varangian god Perun was probably Thor himself under a Slavonic name (Russian ''perun'', “thunderbolt”). {{EB1911 Fine Print|See H.

Thorbecke was of German extraction, his grandfather, Heinrich Thorbecke, having settled in Overijssel towards the end of the 17th century. Little is known of his youth, beyond the fact that he was sent in the year of Waterloo to Amsterdam for his education. For two years he stayed with a Lutheran clergyman of the name of Sartorius, whilst attending the lectures of the Athenaeum Illustre. In 1817 he commenced his studies at Leiden University, proving a brilliant scholar, and twice obtaining a gold medal for his prize essays. In 1820 he obtained the degrees of Lit.D. and LL.D. In the following years Thorbecke undertook a journey of research and study in Germany, staying at most of her famous universities, and making the acquaintance of his best-known contemporaries in the fatherland. At Giessen he lectured as an extraordinary professor, and at Göttingen, in 1824, published his treatise, ''Ueber das Wesen der Geschichte''. After his return to Amsterdam in 1824 Thorbecke wrote his first political work of any importance, ''Bedenkingen aangaande het Recht en den Staal'' “Objections anent Law and the State”), which by its close reasoning and its legal acumen at once drew attention to the young barrister, and procured him in 1825 a chair as professor in Ghent University. Here he wrote two pamphlets of an educational character before 1830. The Belgian revolt of that year forced Thorbecke to resign his position at Ghent, and he subsequently went to Leiden. He did not approve of the Belgian movement, nor of the part that Europe played in it, and published his views in three pamphlets, which appeared in the years 1830 and 1831. In 1831 he was appointed professor of jurisprudence and political science at Leiden University. In that capacity, and, before his appointment at Leiden, as a lecturer on political science, history and economics at Amsterdam, he gained great reputation as a political reformer, particularly after the publication of his standard work, ''Aanteekeningen op de Grondwet'' (“Annotations on the Constitution,” 1839; 2nd ed., Amsterdam, 1841–1843), which became the textbook and the groundwork for the new reform party in Holland, as whose leader Thorbecke was definitely recognized. Thorbecke’s political career until his death, which occurred at the Hague on the 4th of June 1872, is sketched under Holland: History. Thorbecke’s speeches in the Dutch legislature were published at Deventer in six volumes (1867–1870), to which should be added a collection of his unpublished speeches, printed at Groningen in 1900. The first edition of his ''Historische Schetsen'' ("Historical Essays") was issued in 1860, the second in 1872. At Amsterdam there appeared in 1873 a highly interesting Correspondence with his academy friend and lifelong political adversary {{EB1911 lkpl|Groen van Prinsterer, Guillaume|Groen van Prinsterer}} (''q.v.''), which, although dating back to the early 'thirties, throws much light on their subsequent relations and the political events that followed 1848. Of Dutch statesmen during the Napoleonic period, Thorbecke admired Falck and Van Hogendorp most, whose principles he strove to emulate. Of Van Hogendorp’s ''Essays and Speeches'', indeed, he published a standard edition, which is still highly valued. Thorbecke’s speeches form a remarkable continuation of Van Hogendorp’s orations, not only in their style, but also in their train of thought. Thorbecke’s funeral furnished the occasion for an imposing national demonstration, which showed how deeply he was revered by all classes of his countrymen. In 1876 a statue of Thorbecke was unveiled in one of the squares of Amsterdam.

The nest is formed under a tussock of grass or a stone, and constructed of short dry straws, and usually lined with hair. The number of young in each nest is generally five, sometimes only three, occasionally seven or eight, and at least two broods are produced annually. Their food is entirely vegetable, especially grass roots and stalks, shoots of the dwarf birch, reindeer lichens, and mosses, in search of which they form, in winter, long galleries through the turf or under the snow. They are restless, courageous, and pugnacious little animals. When suddenly disturbed, instead of trying to escape they will sit upright, with their back against a stone or other coign of vantage, hissing and showing fight in a very determined manner. The circumstance which has given more popular interest to the lemming than to a host of other species of the same order of animals, and has justified its treatment in a separate article in this work, is that certain districts of the cultivated lands of Norway and Sweden, where in ordinary circumstances they are quite unknown, are occasionally and at very uncertain intervals varying from five to twenty or more years, literally overrun by an army of these little creatures, which steadily and slowly advance, always in the same direction, and regardless of all obstacles, swimming across streams and even lakes of several miles in breadth, and committing considerable devastation on their line of march by the quantity of food they consume. In their turn they are pursued and harassed by crowds of beasts and birds of prey, as bears, wolves, foxes, dogs, wild cats, stoats, weasels, eagles, hawks, and owls, and never spared by man; even the domestic animals not usually predaceous, as cattle, goats, and reindeer, are said to join in the destruction, stamping them to the ground with their feet, and even eating their bodies. Numbers also die from diseases produced apparently from overcrowding. None ever return by the course by which they came, and the onward march of the survivors never ceases until they reach the sea, into which they plunge, and swimming onwards in the same direction as before perish in the waves. These extraordinary and sudden appearances of vast bodies of lemmings, and their singular habit of persistently pursuing the same onward course of migration, have given rise to various speculations, from the ancient belief of the Norwegian peasants, shared in by Olaus Magnus, that they fall down from the clouds, to the almost equally untenable hypothesis, ingeniously maintained by the late Mr W. D. Crotch, that they are acting in these migrations in obedience to an instinct inherited from vastly ancient times, and are still seeking the congenial home in the submerged Atlantis, to which their ancestors of the Miocene period were wont to resort when driven from their ordinary dwelling places by crowding or scarcity of food. The principal really ascertained facts regarding these migrations, as stated by Mr R. Collett (''Proceedings of the'' ''Linnean Society'', vol. xiii. p. 327, 1878), seem to be as follows. When any combination of circumstances has occasioned an increase of the numbers of the lemmings in their ordinary dwelling places, impelled by the restless or migratory instinct possessed in a less developed degree by so many of their congeners, a movement takes place at the edge of the elevated plateau, and a migration towards the lower-lying land begins. The whole body moves forward slowly, always advancing in the same general direction in which they originally started, but following more or less the course of the great valleys. They only travel by night; and, staying in congenial places for considerable periods, with unaccustomed abundance of provender, notwithstanding all the destructive influences to which they are exposed, they multiply excessively during their journey, having still more numerous families and more frequently than in their <!-- column 2 --> usual homes. The progress may last from one to three years, according to the route taken, and the distance to be traversed until the sea-coast is reached, which in a country so surrounded by water as the Scandinavian peninsula must be the ultimate goal of such a journey. This may be either the Atlantic or the Gulf of Bothnia, according as the migration has commenced from the west or the east side of the central elevated plateau. Those that finally perish in the sea, committing what appears to be a voluntary suicide, are only acting under the same blind impulse which has led them previously to cross smaller pieces of water with safety. Further information about the migrations of the lemming will be found in Mr Collett's paper referred to above, and also in those of Mr Crotch in the same volume. ([[Author:William Henry Flower|{{asc|W. H. F.}}]]) <section end="Lemming" /><section begin="Lemnos" /> LEMNOS was an island in the northern part of the Ægean Sea, now called by the inhabitants Limnos. The Italian form of the name, Stalimene, ''i.e.'', {{Greek|ἐς τὴν Λῆμνον}}, is not used in the island itself, but is commonly employed in geographical works. The island, which belongs to Turkey, is of considerable size: Pliny says that the coast-line measured 112½ Roman miles, and the area has been estimated at 150 square miles. Great part of it is mountainous, but some very fertile valleys exist, to cultivate which two thousand yoke of oxen are employed. The hill-sides afford pasture for 20,000 sheep. No forests exist on the island; all the wood which is used is brought from the coast of Roumelia or from Thasos. A few mulberry and fruit trees grow, but no olives. The inhabitants number about 22,000, of whom 2000 are Turks and the rest Greeks. The chief towns are Kastro on the western coast, with a population of 4000 Greeks and 800 Turks, and Mudros on the southern coast. Kastro possesses an excellent harbour, and is the seat of all the trade carried on with the island. Greek, English, and Dutch consuls or consular agents were formerly stationed there; but the whole trade is now in Greek hands. The archbishop of Lemnos and Ai Strati, a small neighbouring island with 2000 inhabitants, resides in Kastro. In ancient times the island was sacred to Hephæstus, who as the legend tells fell on Lemnos when his father Zeus hurled him headlong out of Olympus. This tale, as well as the name Æthaleia, sometimes applied to it, points to its volcanic character. It is said that fire occasionally blazed forth from Mosychlos, one of its mountains; and Pausanias (viii. 33) relates that a small island called Chryse off the Lemnian coast was swallowed up by the sea. All volcanic action is now extinct. {{EB1911 fine print|The most famous product of Lemnos is the medicinal earth, which is still used by the natives. At one time it was popular over western Europe under the name ''terra sigillata''. This name, like the Greek {{Greek|Λημνία σφραγίς}}, is derived from the stamp impressed on each piece of the earth; in ancient times the stamp was the head of Artemis. The Turks now believe that a vase of this earth destroys the effect of any poison drunk from it,—a belief which the ancients attached rather to the earth from Cape Kolias in Attica. Galen went to see the digging up of this earth (see Kuhn, ''Medic.'' ''Gr. Opera'', xii. 172 ''sq.''); on one day in each year a priestess performed the due ceremonies, and a waggon-load of earth was dug out. At the present time the day selected is the 6th of August, the feast of Christ the Saviour. Both the Turkish hodja and the Greek priest are present to perform the necessary ceremonies; the whole process takes place before daybreak. The earth is sold by apothecaries in stamped cubical blocks. The hill from which the earth is dug is a dry mound, void of vegetation, beside the village of Kotschinos, and about two hours from the site of Hephæstia. The earth was considered in ancient times a cure for old festering wounds, and for the bite of poisonous snakes.}} {{EB1911 fine print|The name Lemnos is said by Hecatæus (''ap.'' Steph. Byz.) to have been a title of Cybele among the Thracians, and the earliest inhabitants are said to have been a Thracian tribe, called by the Greeks Sinties, ''i.e.'', “the robbers.” According to a famous legend the women were all deserted by their husbands, and in revenge murdered every man on the island.

The calculus of variations arose from the attempts that were made by mathematicians in the 17th century to solve problems of which the following are typical examples. (i) It is required to determine the form of a chain of given length, hanging from two fixed points, by the condition that its centre of gravity must be as low as possible. This problem of the catenary was attempted without success by Galileo Galilei (1638). (ii) The resistance of a me dium to the motion of a body being assumed to be a normal pressure, proportional to the square of the cosine of the angle between the normal to the surface and the direction of motion, it is required to determine the meridian curve of a surface of revolution, about an axis in the direction of motion, so that the resistance shall be the least possible. This problem of the ''solid of least resistance'' was solved by Sir Isaac Newton (1687). (iii) It is required to find a curve joining two fixed points, so that the time of descent along this curve from the higher point to the lower may be less than the time along any other curve. This problem of the ''brachistochrone'' was proposed by John (Johann) Bernoulli 1696). The contributions of the Greek geometry to the subjecticonsist of a few theorems discovered by one Zenodorus, of whom little Early is known. Extracts from his writings have been premsmqa served in the writings of Pappus of Alexandria and Theon of Smyrna. He proved that of all curves of given perimeter the circle is that which encloses the largest area. The problems from which the subject grew up have in common the character of being concerned with the maxima and minima of quantities which can be expressed by integrals of the form {{center|<math>\int_{x_0}^{x_1}\text{F}(x, y, y')dx,</math>}} in which ''y'' is an unknown function of ''x'', and F is an assigned function of three variables; viz. ''x'', ''y'', and the differential coefficient of y with respect to x, here denoted by y'; in special cases x or y may not be explicitly present in F, but ''y''′ must be. In any such problem it is required to determine y as a function of x, so that the integral may be a maximum or a minimum, either absolutely or subject to the condition that another integral or like form may have a. prescribed value. For example, in the problem of the catenary, the integral °“y<1 +;v”)%<ix ' L xo "lo +y'=) ldx xo has a given value. When, as in this example, the length of the sought curve is given, the problem is described as ''isoperimetric''. At the end of the first memoir by James (Jakob) Bernoulli on the infinitesimal calculus (1690), the problem of determining the form of a flexible chain was proposed. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz gave the solution in 1691, and stated that the centre of gravity is lower for this curve than for any other of the same length joining the same two points. The first step towards a theory of such problems was taken by James Bernoulli (1697) in his solution of the problem of the brachistochrone. He pointed out that if a curve, as a whole, possesses the maximal or minimal property, every part of the curve must itself possess the same property. Beyond the discussion -of special problems, nothing was attempted or many years. The first general theory of such problems was sketched by Leonhard Euler in 1736, and was more fully developed by him in his Euler treatise Methodus inveniendi published in 1744. He generalized the problems proposed by his predecessors by admitting under the siign of integration differential coefficients of order hig er than the rst. To express the condition that an integral of the form x'F(x. y. y'. y”, - - -J'( ))dx fo may be a maximum or minimum, he required that, when y is changed into y-I-u, where u is a function of x, but is everywhere " infinitely " small, the integral should be unchanged. Resolving the integral into a sum of elements, he transformed this. condition into an equation of the form BF d6F d'6F nd" 6F Z14Ax ay -(Z-C W1 . . -l-(-I) EE W -O, and he conCluded that the differential e uation obtained b e uatin fl Y q s to zero the expression in the square brackets must be satisfied. This equation is in general of the 2nth order, and the 2n arbitrary constants .which are contained in the complete /primitive-must be adjusted to satisfy the conditions that y, y', y', . . y<"“1> have given values at the limits of integration. If the function y is required also to satisfy the condition that another integral of the same form as the above, but containing a function ¢ instead of F, may have a prescribed value, Euler achieved his purpose by replacing F in the differential equation by F-I-Ma, and adjusting the constant~} so that the condition may be satisfied. This artifice is known as the isoperirnetric rule or rule of the undetermined multiplier. Euler illustrated his methods by a large number of example sf ' » The new; theory was provided with a special symbolism by Joseph Louis der la Grange (commonly called Lagrange) in a series of memoirs, published in 1760-62. This symbolism L was afterwards adopted by Euler (1764), and Lagrange agmnge is generally regarded as the founder of the calculus of variations. Euler had been under the necessity of resolving an integral into a sum of elements, recording the magnitude of the change produced in each element by a slight change in the unknown function, and thence forming an expression for the total change in the sum under consideration. Lagrange proposed to free the theory from this necessity. Euler had allowed such changes in the position of the curve, along which the integral, to be made a maximum tor minimum, is taken, as can be produced by displacement parallel to the axis of ordinates. Lagrange admitted a more general change of position, which was called variation. The points of the curve being specified by their co-ordinz-tes, x, y, z, and differentiation along the curve being denoted, as usual, by the symbol d, Lagrange considered the change produced in any quantity Z, which is expressed in terms of x, y, z, dx, dy, dz, d2x, . when the co-ordinates x, y, z are changed by “ infinitely " small increments. This change he denoted by BZ, and regarded as the variation of Z. He expressed the rules of operation with 6 by the equations V 6dZ=d6Z, 5fZ =f5Z. By means of these equations f 6Z can be transformed by the process of integration by parts into such a form that differentials of variations occur at the limits of integration only, and the Th transformed integral contains no differentials of varia- eb I6 tions. The terms at the limits and the integrand of Sym ° the transformed integral 'must vanish separately, if the variation of the original integral vanishes. The process of freeing the original integral from the differentials of variations results in a differential equation, or a system of differential equations, for the determination of the form of the required curve, and in special terminal conditions, which serve to determine the constants that enter into the solution of the differential equations. Lagrange's method lent itself readily to applications. of the generalized principle of virtual velocities to problems, of mechanics, and he used it in this way in the Mécanique analytique (1788). The terminology and notation of mechanics are still largely dominated. by these ideas of Lagrange, for his methods were powerful and effective, but they are rendered obscure by the use of “infinitely ” small quantities, of which, in other departments of mathematics, he subsequently became an uncompromising opponent. The same ideas were: applied by Lagrange himself, by Euler, and by other mathematicians to various extensions of the cal- fixten culus of variations. These include problems concerning f)f2'; integrals of which the limits are variable in accordance an, S with assigned conditions, the extension of Euler's rule of 'Z-et;:d restricted by conditions of various types, the maximaand minima of integrals involving any number of dependent variables, s uCh as are met with in the formulation of the dynamical Principle of Least Action, the maxima and minima of double and multiple integrals. In all these cases Lagrange's methods have been applied successfully to obtain the differential equation, or system of differential equations, which must be satisfied if the integral in question is a maximum or a minimum. This equation, or equations. will be referred to as the principal equation, or principal equationS, Of the roblem. The problems and method of the calculus admit of more exact formulation as follows:' We confine our attention to the C2156 where the sought curve is plane, and the function Ft Formal” contains no differential coefficients of order higher than mm 0, the first. Then the problem is to determine a curve the First joining two fixed points (xo, yo) and (xi, yi) so that the pmb1em line integral "'F<x, y, ;v')¢ix xo taken along the curve may be a maximum or a minimum. When it is said that the integral is a minimum for some curve, it is meant that it must be possible to mark a finite area in the plane of (x, y), so that the curve in question lies entirely within this area, and the integral taken along this curve is less than the integral taken along any other curve, which joins the same two points and lies entirely within the delimited area. There is a similar definition for a maximum. The word extrernurn is often used to connote both maximum and minimum. The problem thus posed is known as the First Problem of the Calculus of Variations. If we begin with any curve <section end="s2" /><noinclude></noinclude> 3k060b2n7aznezsqapxu7xx9rcsupi7 Page:EB1911 - Volume 27.djvu/946 104 1957978 12507818 10836364 2022-07-25T03:31:27Z DivermanAU 522506 some proofing proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Slowking4" />{{rh|{{x-larger|920}}|{{x-larger|VARICOSE VEINS}}|{{em|2.4}}}}</noinclude><section begin="s1" />In general it is not necessary that a field of stationary curves should consist of curves which pass through a fixed point. Any family of stationary curves depending on a single parameter may constitute a field. This remark is of importance {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Field of stationary curves and transversals.}} in connexion with the adaptation of Weierstrass’s results to the problem of variable limits. For the purpose of this adaptation A. Kneser (1900) introduced the family of stationary curves which are cut transversely by an assigned curve. Within the field of these curves we can construct the transversals of the family; that is to say, there is a finite area of the plane, through any point of which there passes one stationary curve of the field and one curve which cuts all the stationary curves of the field transversely. These curves provide a system of curvilinear co-ordinates, in terms of which the value of ∫F''dx'', taken along any curve within the area, can be expressed. The value of the integral is the same for all arcs of stationary curves of the field which are intercepted between any two assigned transversals. In the above discussion of the First Problem it has been assumed that the curve which yields an extremum is an arc of a single curve, which must be a stationary curve. It is conceivable that the required curve might be made up of a finite number of arcs of different stationary curves meeting each other at finite angles. It can be shown that such a broken curve cannot yield an extremum unless both the expressions 6F/dy' and F-y”(6F/6y') are continuous at the corners. In the parametric method 6f/Bai: and df/651 must be continuous at the corners. This result limits Very considerably mscom the possibility of such discontinuous solutions, though it “Mons does not exc ude them: An example is afforded by the solutions problem of the catenoid. The axis 0f x and any lines parallel to the axis of y satisfy the principal equation; and the conditions here stated show that the only discontinuous solution of the problem is presented by the broken line ACDB {{missing image}} ::Fig. 8. (fig. 8). A broken line like AA'B'B is excluded. Discontinuous solutions have generally been supposed to be of special importance in cases where the required curve is restricted by the condition of not crossing the boundary of a certain limited area. In such cases part of the boundary may have to be taken as part of the curve. Problems of this kind were investigated in detail by J. Steiner and I. Todhunter. In recent times the theory has been much extended by C. Carathéodory. In any problem of the calculus of variations the first step is the formation of the principal equation or equations; and the second step is the solution of the equation or equations, in accordance with th e assigned terminal or boundary conditions. “'em ems If this solution cannot be effected, the methods of the calculus fail to answer the question of the existence or nonexistence of a solution which would yield a maximum or minimum of the integral under consideration. On the other hand, if the existence of the extremum could be established independently, the existence of a solution of the principal equation, which would also satisfy the boundary conditions, would be proved. The most famous example of such an existence-theorem is Dirichlet's principle, according to which there exists a function V, which satisfies the equation at all points within a closed surface S, and assumes a given value at each point of S. The differential equation is the principal equation answering to the integral 1=fff%(%¥> +(%¥> +C?) Edxdydz taken through the volume within the surface S. The theorem of the existence of V IS of importance in all those branches of mathematical physics in which use is made of a potential function, satisfying Laplace's equation; and the two-dimensional form of the theorem is of fundamental importance in the theory of functions of a complex variable. It has been proposed to establish the existence of V by means of the argument that, since I cannot be negative, there must Dmch be, among the functions which have the prescribed ers boundary values, some one which gives to I the smallest principle. possible value. This unsound argument was first exposed by Weierstrass. He observed that precisely the same argument Would 9~PPlY to the if1tegra1f-c2y dx taken along a curve from the point (-1, a) to the point (1, b). On the one hand, the principal equation answering to this integral can be solved, and it can be proved that it cannot be satisfied by any function y at all points of the interval - if y has different values at the end points. On the other hand, the integral can be made as small as we please by a suitable choice of y. Thus the argument fails to distinguish between a minimum and an inferior limit (see FUNCTION). In order to prove Dirichlet's principle it becomes necessary to devise a proof that, in the case of the integral 1, there cannot be a limit of this kind. This has been effected by Hilbert for the two-dimensional form of the problem. {{sc|Bibliography}}:—The literature of the subject is very extensive, and only a few of the more important works can be cited here.

They observe that there are no very "extensive and continuous beds of gravel," and that "the largest deposit of diluvium we have noticed is at Upway Street, four miles north of Weymouth; but in smaller quantities and irregular patches it is disposed over the whole surface of the country, on the summits and slopes of the hills as well as in the valleys." These scattered drift-beds are all referred, as usual at the time, to one great inundation, which excavated the valleys and overspread the country with patches of diluvial gravel.

The percent transmittance of a sample gas possessing the single-beam spectrum S—with respect to the background single-beam spectrum B—is defined as T(%)=100 * S/B; a transmittance value is defined for each wavenumber value of the two spectra. If the background spectrum B closely represents the response of the FTIR system to a transparent sample, then the percent transmittance T closely approximates the percentage of the infrared radiation transmitted by the sample (represented by the spectrum S). Because water is the only absorbing compound present in the single-beam spectrum B, the spectrum T (shown in Figure C5) closely approximates the percent transmittance spectrum of water. The same pair of spectra define the (double beam) absorbance A of the sample through the equation A = -log{{sup|10}}(S/B). The absorbance spectrum of water, as approximated by the two single-beam spectra S and B, is shown in Figure C6. The absorbance is the desired quantity because it appears in the general linear absorption model known as Beer's Law (see below).

The bias in the linear method is clearly evident in the fourth column of the Table, which indicates that the analysis yields concentrations which are slightly too high at the lowest concentration and slightly too low at the highest concentration. The average of the last column in the table, which represents the absolute percent difference between the actual and calculated concentrations, the “fractional calibration uncertainty” (FCU; see Reference 2), is 3.2%. This value represents the average error over the concentration range for these reference spectra to be expected from the linear analysis up to the maximum concentration-pathlength value used in the analysis (257 ppm-meter). If additional accuracy is required, non-linear analyses or corrections such as those discussed above (Appendix B, Section 9) can be employed. {|class="wikitable" {{ts|mc}} |+'''Table D4.

As is always the case before actual measurements are taken, no actual sample data for mixtures of the compounds in the assumed matrix (ambient air) were available as these analyses were performed. Accordingly, the following description is based on synthetic spectra generated from available reference spectra for TFE, DFE, and water. In order to not overestimate the effectiveness of the FTIR technique, the noise levels in the synthetic sample spectra were artificially raised, and the reference spectra used are not those most likely to provide an optimal analysis. This is the most prudent course available to an analyst attempting to predict the performance of the FTIR method under essentially unknown conditions, and it is the course recommended by the authors to analysts who find themselves in this common situation. Estimates of the LOD for this sample matrix (see Appendix E, Section 1) indicate that the analytical region from 1215 to 1080 cm{{sup|-1}} will likely provide the most reliable TFE and DFE concentrations. The system configuration parameters used in those estimates are assumed to hold in the following description. E2A. ''Generation and Analysis of Synthetic Sample Spectra of TFE and DFE'' Table E3 describes the mathematical generation of synthetic samples for the following LSF analysis description. Each sample spectrum consists of the sum of scaled reference spectra for TFE (tfe4.spc, CCP = 208.3 ppm-m), DFE (dfeav05.spc, CCP = 197.8 ppm-m) and water (wat02bl.spc). The scaling factors indicated in Table E3 were used to generate synthetic sample spectra at the listed concentrations and the assumed absorption pathlength of 10.0 meters.

(UTC) == JS components in Extension:Math? == Hi Moritz, I'm grabbing you as "the most likely person to know anything about how Math works". :) On enWS we (ab)use math markup to display fancy braces (via {{tl|brace2}}). I'm bugging you because recently this has stopped working, in what looks like an interaction with one of our more hacky Gadgets (i.e. JavaScript), and I'm wondering whether Extension:Math has a JavaScript component that we could possibly be clashing with? Briefly, our [[MediaWiki:Gadget-PageNumbers.js]] wraps <code>.mw-parser-output</code> in three div elements and then applies custom styles to them. Now we're observing that braces look fine on page load, but when this gadget runs, at the point where it's wrapping the content in the divs, the braces generated seemingly disappear. Checking in the inspector it looks like maybe what's actually happening is that their width are getting set to ~4px or so (from ~25px on load). We're modifying the DOM and causing a relayout (other stuff on the page will change size), so maybe whatever JS Math is running is trying to dynamically calculate a width and getting confused? I can reproduce it in the debugger with a breakpoint (on [[MediaWiki:Gadget-PageNumbers-core.js#L-284|line 284]]), but not isolated in the console, so it seems to be at least partially timing dependent. So… does Math rely on any client-side javascript with which our gadget could be either conflicting or racing? If so, did it change significantly in the last couple of months? Any tips or pointers would be very much appreciated; and apologies in advance if you're not the right person to bug about this.

The issues I have noticed are: There are four damaged pages, xiii, 90, 91, and 92. The index is also missing two pages, 282 and 283. I have located an alternate copy of the book on The Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/cu31924028040057) and it contains good copies of the damaged pages as well as the two missing pages. Is it possible someone can replace the damaged pages and add the two missing pages from the alternate source? ([[User:Sp1nd01|Sp1nd01]] ([[User talk:Sp1nd01#top|talk]]) 20:15, 6 March 2017 (UTC)) :Looking at the work, it seems that the alternate IA version that you linked looks to be a superior quality work, especially the illustrations. Gut feel on the way to progress is that it may be better to upload the new version, then get a bot (with admin rights) to transfer the pages transcribed from one to the other. It will take a little longer, though probably a better quality product, and probably less fiddly than trying to insert and move pages. {{ping|Mpaa}} what do you think? — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 22:14, 6 March 2017 (UTC) ::I had a quick look and it seems there is a constant +1 page shift in the linked file. Pls double-check and, if it is confirmed, all we need to to is shift pages by one. Too bad the new file is pdf and not djvu, so I do not think we can reuse the same file/index page.— [[User:Mpaa|Mpaa]] ([[User talk:Mpaa|talk]]) 20:17, 7 March 2017 (UTC) <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> I have noticed by checking some of my diff pages that occasionally there are minor updates being made to some of my proofread pages, almost as if I had left a double space or some other hidden character in the page. I always do a page preview before saving a page and occasionally I do see lines broken, which I correct by deleting whatever the hidden character is until the page preview looks fine. An example of this can be seen on the following page I have recently proofed: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3APopular_Science_Monthly_Volume_72.djvu/408 Where in the block quote at the bottom of the page all appears fine to me, but when I look at the whole article using page: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Popular_Science_Monthly/Volume_72/May_1908/Some_New_View_Points_in_Nutrition I see the line is broken in between the words "and such" in the following line: "there are so many and such conflicting opinions, that it is not wonderful that the spirits, whose nature is thus left so wholly" I'd be interested to know if there is anything I can configure to clear this problem or make it easier to spot? I edit using Firefox 54.0.1 (64 Bit) I previously used the 32 bit version where I first noticed the problem, but recently updated to the 64 bit to see if that would help. I've also tried clearing the page cache but it doesn't help. Do any other editors experience this type of problem?

The hierarchy is SPAN (span) << PARAGRAPH (p) << DIVISION (div). So equate it with a split of sentence / paragraph / page and then think. So you cannot centre a sentence within a paragraph, so you when we centre it is with a paragraph or a division; whereas if we make something italics, it could be any of the three. So we need to nest (open and close a span) within element types. I hope that is somewhat explanatory. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 11:53, 15 April 2017 (UTC) == Footnotes within footnotes == One example of how you can handle references within footnotes, as well as when they span more than one page, etc. can be found at [[Index talk:The Works of Lord Byron (ed.

When extracting images from DjVu files, the results are often very badly damaged by the DjVu compression, which is generally heavy and optimised for text, not images. For files that come from the Internet Archive, there are original page scan photographs at the IA details page, which are generally much higher quality that that found in a DjVu. In the case of Hudibras page xxiv, the original JP2 file is [https://ia802700.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/9/items/hudibras01butl/hudibras01butl_orig_jp2.tar&file=hudibras01butl_orig_jp2%2Fhudibras01butl_orig_0046.jp2 here], and a list of all the page images is [https://ia802700.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/9/items/hudibras01butl/hudibras01butl_orig_jp2.tar here] (you can choose JPG or JP2; JP2 avoids an extra round of compression). There are some more details of extracting the best images from various source at [[H:DJVUIMG]]. Thanks for doing image extraction!

(I'll try and ensure to use the highest quality source I can obtain.) :::Desaturate if required to remove colour - Image - Extract channel (usually red is sufficient) but sometimes for paler images or images with wavy lines visible, I find removing the green or blue chanel instead may give a better result. :::Try Image, Map, Automatic Levels, but this does not always produce the required result. so I tend to manually adjust levels to whiten the background. :::Image, Adjust, Levels, and reduce the white point to remove they grey background as much as possible, (I find it easier to see the effect if Apply to image is checked, as it displays the result to the main large image as you adjust the levels.) As you reduce the white point, you may also have to increase the black point to avoid the image fading too much. :::A rough rule of thumb, you can usually slide the white point left to just past the initial downward slope on the first curve to remove most of the grey background. The black point can be raised to the start of the dotted lines.

Thanks for the work you've done preparing the images for this work. I've been plugging away at the text, off and on, for a couple of years now and have finished Volume 1. My own efforts at manipulating the images haven't been anything like as successful as your own. Having spent ages trying to get the guidance in the Wikisource help to work and, having done so, getting poor results, I now mostly use Irfanview and the 'replace colour' function. For most things this seems to be satisfactory (with a bit of titivation using MS Paint 3D where necessary) but it takes out the fine detail in the Hudibras images.<p>I was going to ask you how you achieve such good results, but stumbled across the entry on your talk page, so I'm going to give that a go. Thanks again.[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 08:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC) ::Hi {{re|Chrisguise}} I hope my rough and ready instructions are clear enough to follow! if I can help clarify anything that isn't please ask and I'll try to help.

Good luck with your images!<p>PS. I hope you didn't mind me attempting some of the images every now and again, I just tend to drift about looking for older problematic pages to work on and stumbled on Hudibras only a few months ago.

The other option, is just to set a fixed width on the section being centred, which I did in the smaller block, and then you can use the margins to move things around. Again, thanks, it looks great.

The issues I have noticed are: There are four damaged pages, xiii, 90, 91, and 92. The index is also missing two pages, 282 and 283. I have located an alternate copy of the book on The Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/cu31924028040057) and it contains good copies of the damaged pages as well as the two missing pages. Is it possible someone can replace the damaged pages and add the two missing pages from the alternate source? ([[User:Sp1nd01|Sp1nd01]] ([[User talk:Sp1nd01#top|talk]]) 20:15, 6 March 2017 (UTC)) :Looking at the work, it seems that the alternate IA version that you linked looks to be a superior quality work, especially the illustrations. Gut feel on the way to progress is that it may be better to upload the new version, then get a bot (with admin rights) to transfer the pages transcribed from one to the other. It will take a little longer, though probably a better quality product, and probably less fiddly than trying to insert and move pages. {{ping|Mpaa}} what do you think? — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 22:14, 6 March 2017 (UTC) ::I had a quick look and it seems there is a constant +1 page shift in the linked file. Pls double-check and, if it is confirmed, all we need to to is shift pages by one. Too bad the new file is pdf and not djvu, so I do not think we can reuse the same file/index page.— [[User:Mpaa|Mpaa]] ([[User talk:Mpaa|talk]]) 20:17, 7 March 2017 (UTC) <nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki> I have noticed by checking some of my diff pages that occasionally there are minor updates being made to some of my proofread pages, almost as if I had left a double space or some other hidden character in the page. I always do a page preview before saving a page and occasionally I do see lines broken, which I correct by deleting whatever the hidden character is until the page preview looks fine. An example of this can be seen on the following page I have recently proofed: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3APopular_Science_Monthly_Volume_72.djvu/408 Where in the block quote at the bottom of the page all appears fine to me, but when I look at the whole article using page: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Popular_Science_Monthly/Volume_72/May_1908/Some_New_View_Points_in_Nutrition I see the line is broken in between the words "and such" in the following line: "there are so many and such conflicting opinions, that it is not wonderful that the spirits, whose nature is thus left so wholly" I'd be interested to know if there is anything I can configure to clear this problem or make it easier to spot? I edit using Firefox 54.0.1 (64 Bit) I previously used the 32 bit version where I first noticed the problem, but recently updated to the 64 bit to see if that would help. I've also tried clearing the page cache but it doesn't help. Do any other editors experience this type of problem?

The hierarchy is SPAN (span) << PARAGRAPH (p) << DIVISION (div). So equate it with a split of sentence / paragraph / page and then think. So you cannot centre a sentence within a paragraph, so you when we centre it is with a paragraph or a division; whereas if we make something italics, it could be any of the three. So we need to nest (open and close a span) within element types. I hope that is somewhat explanatory. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 11:53, 15 April 2017 (UTC) == Footnotes within footnotes == One example of how you can handle references within footnotes, as well as when they span more than one page, etc. can be found at [[Index talk:The Works of Lord Byron (ed.

I had no idea how to approach that issue, it really had me stumped!

When extracting images from DjVu files, the results are often very badly damaged by the DjVu compression, which is generally heavy and optimised for text, not images. For files that come from the Internet Archive, there are original page scan photographs at the IA details page, which are generally much higher quality that that found in a DjVu.

Unfortunately I know of no methods of automating any of this processing. :::I download and crop the image. (I'll try and ensure to use the highest quality source I can obtain.) :::Desaturate if required to remove colour - Image - Extract channel (usually red is sufficient) but sometimes for paler images or images with wavy lines visible, I find removing the green or blue chanel instead may give a better result. :::Try Image, Map, Automatic Levels, but this does not always produce the required result. so I tend to manually adjust levels to whiten the background. :::Image, Adjust, Levels, and reduce the white point to remove they grey background as much as possible, (I find it easier to see the effect if Apply to image is checked, as it displays the result to the main large image as you adjust the levels.) As you reduce the white point, you may also have to increase the black point to avoid the image fading too much. :::A rough rule of thumb, you can usually slide the white point left to just past the initial downward slope on the first curve to remove most of the grey background. The black point can be raised to the start of the dotted lines. But its really a try it and see approach. :::Once happy with the levels, if there are any remaining blemishes I will save the file and then I remove them using the eraser feature in irfanview. (as far as I know there is no eraser feature in xnview.) :::Finally To save an image with a transparent background, I use File, Export select Color Mode 256 Color (Adaptive) and then select white in the Set Transparency Colour tab. :::Otherwise I export as Greyscale or save as a .jpg ::: Thanks for creating the documentation btw, its really useful information, I've certainly picked up some good pointers from it!

Thanks for the work you've done preparing the images for this work. I've been plugging away at the text, off and on, for a couple of years now and have finished Volume 1. My own efforts at manipulating the images haven't been anything like as successful as your own. Having spent ages trying to get the guidance in the Wikisource help to work and, having done so, getting poor results, I now mostly use Irfanview and the 'replace colour' function. For most things this seems to be satisfactory (with a bit of titivation using MS Paint 3D where necessary) but it takes out the fine detail in the Hudibras images.<p>I was going to ask you how you achieve such good results, but stumbled across the entry on your talk page, so I'm going to give that a go. Thanks again.[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 08:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC) ::Hi {{re|Chrisguise}} I hope my rough and ready instructions are clear enough to follow! if I can help clarify anything that isn't please ask and I'll try to help. As I mentioned I am only a very basic graphics editor, but the method does seem to produce fairly good results on most of the black and white images I've come across. Good luck with your images!<p>PS. I hope you didn't mind me attempting some of the images every now and again, I just tend to drift about looking for older problematic pages to work on and stumbled on Hudibras only a few months ago. If you prefer to complete the images or replace any I have uploaded please do so. Regards [[User:Sp1nd01|Sp1nd01]] ([[User talk:Sp1nd01#top|talk]]) 21:42, 1 June 2021 (UTC) :::Absolutely not, please keep up the good work. I've had a go at the last eight portraits for volume 1 but haven't uploaded them yet. I installed XnViewXP and followed your guide, which works well, so much so that I need to go back to my earlier efforts and redo them. Like yourself I have little experience with image editing and find the interface on some of the free packages daunting (especially GIMP); by comparison XnViewXP is positively friendly. Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 22:25, 1 June 2021 (UTC) : Pardon the drive-by, but I thought you might like to know I have recently written up some (GIMP) instructions at [[Help:Image extraction/With GIMP]], but the concepts would translated to any image processing software. The Hudibras portraits are specifically hard because the have such fine, pale, detail, so it's really easy to blow the highlights to pure white.

As for the right offset, my interpretation of what went on is: if you just use a center, without specifying any width, then the x1 value should be 0, else you are pushing the left margin (it then splits half of everything to the right of the left margin, which is no longer a full page). The other option, is just to set a fixed width on the section being centred, which I did in the smaller block, and then you can use the margins to move things around. Again, thanks, it looks great.

''Gen. char''. Shell aviculiform, very slightly inequivalve, with a slight byssal notch in both valves; left valve the most convex. Hinge-line with a thickened margin, but no hinge-plate of any kind; there is an obscure tooth in the anterior part of the hinge, but no lateral teeth. Posterior adductor scar large and subcentral; anterior scar small, umbonal, with at least two supplementary scars; shell thin, with a puckered or plaited epidermis. (''Salter''.) ''Obs''. The genus ''Anthracoptera'' was proposed by the late Mr. Salter to include numerous Coal-measure shells " hitherto called ''Myalina'' or ''Avicula'' with doubt, but evidently distinct from one and the other of these genera. They have not the unequal valves of ''Avicula'' nor the striated hinge-plate of ''Myalina'', nor indeed any hinge-plate at all." I now propose to place in this genus, in addition to the Coal-measure fossils for which it was established, some bivalves from the Lower Carboniferous rocks of this neighbourhood, of which the internal characters of the shell, so far as I have been able to make them out, appear to have more in common with this genus than with ''Myalina''. About two or three years before Mr. Salter proposed his name, Dr. Dawson established his genus ''Naiadites'' for similar shells, characteristic of the South-Joggins Coal-measures, Nova Scotia. In a paper on "Fossil Shells from the Coal-measures of Nova Scotia"<ref>Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. xix. p. 80.</ref>, Mr. Salter pointed out the synonymy of the two names, and claimed for his own precedence over that of Dr. Dawson on the ground of more complete description. ''Anthracoptera'' appears to have been regarded by Salter as one of either the Aviculidæ or Mytilidæ, whilst by Dr. Geinitz the typical American species, ''A.'' (''Naiadites'') ''carbonaria'', Dawson, is looked upon as a ''Dreissena''<ref>N. Jahrbuch, 1864, p. 654; Geol. Mag. 1865, ii. p. 205.</ref>. The affinity of these shells has been discussed by Dr. Dawson at some length; he considers them to be brackish-water shells allied to the Mytilidæ, or embryonic forms of Unionidæ<ref>Acadian Geology, 1867, p. 203.</ref>, and states that the structure of the shell is similar to that of the latter family. {{dhr}} {{sc|Anthracoptera? obesa}}, sp. nov.

Hinge-line straight, as long as the shell, its margin thickened on each valve, leaving in casts two long grooves. Umbones well developed, contiguous, but not touching, anterior, but not quite terminal, with a broad, very obtusely rounded diagonal ridge proceeding from each, to which the shell owes much of its exceedingly convex form. Byssal furrows shallow, most pronounced in the left valve; marginal notch not deeply excavated. Anterior muscular impressions quite anterior, infra-umbonal. Surface of the shell covered with concentric subimbricating lamellæ, crowded and striiform on the anterior end, but opening out and becoming lamellar on the diagonal ridge and posterior wing. ''Obs.'' The shells comprised in this species very much resemble some ''Myalinæ''; but I believe I am more justified in referring them to the present genus than to ''Myalina'', of the striated hinge-plate of which I can find no trace ; neither has any definite evidence presented itself which would warrant me in placing them in either ''Avicula or Pterinea''. The much more central position of the diagonal ridge, greater convexity of the shell, and the sigmoidal margin of the posterior end at once distinguish ''A. obesa'' from either ''Anthracoptera''? or ''Myalina'' (''Avicula'') 'quadrata'', Sow., ''A.''? or ''M.'' (''Avicula'') ''modiolaris'', Sow., ''A.''? or ''M.'' (''Modiola'') ''carinata'', Sow. <ref>In one place Mr. Salter referred these species to ''Myalina'' (Iron Ores Gt. Britain, 1861, pt. 3, p. 228), in another with doubt to ''Anthracomya'' (''ibid.'' p. 230), and again in a third to ''Anthracoptera'' (Oldham Memoir, 1864, p. 64). He appears to have been in great doubt as to their true generic affinity.</ref>, or ''Anthracoptera''? ''Browniana'', Salter (= ''Avicula tenua'', Brown).

His parents sent him to Carthage to complete his education, but he disappointed their expectations by leading a life of pleasure. A book of Cicero's led him to study philosophy; but dissatisfied with this, he joined the Manichæans. He left them after nine years and went to Rome and then to Milan. Here St. Ambrose, bishop of the city, and the reading of St. Paul converted him to the Christian faith. After preparation for baptism he received it from Ambrose, being then in his 33d year. He returned to Africa, sold his property, giving the proceeds to the poor, and became assistant to the bishop of Hippo, succeeding to the see in 395. Of his various works his “Confessions” is most secure of immortality. He died Aug. 28, 430, while Hippo was besieged by the Vandals. He was a man of great enthusiasm, self-devotion, zeal for truth, and powerful intellect, and, though <!-- column 2 --> there have been fathers of the Church more learned, none have wielded a more powerful influence. His writings are partly autobiographical, partly polemical, homiletic, or exegetical. The greatest is the “City of God” (“De Civitate Dei”), a vindication of Christianity. <section end="Augustine, Aurelius Augustinus, St." /><section begin="Augustine, St." /> '''AUGUSTINE''', or '''AUSTIN, ST.''', the Apostle of the English, flourished at the close of the 6th century, was sent with 40 monks by Pope Gregory I. to introduce Christianity into Saxon England, and was kindly received by Ethelbert, King of Kent, whom he converted, baptizing 10,000 of his subjects in one day. In acknowledgment of his tact and success Augustine received the archiepiscopal pall from the Pope, with instructions to establish 12 sees in his province, but he could not persuade the British bishops in Wales to unite with the new English Church.

Two lives saved! The fire is being mastered. More engines gallop up. "The Captain" is on the spot, too. The Brigade is victorious. In the early morning hour, as I strolled home deep in thought, I determined to see these men who nightly risk their lives and stalwart limbs for the benefit and preservation of helpless fire-scorched people. Who are these men who go literally through fire and water to assist and save their fellow creatures, strangers to them— unknown, save in that they require help and succour? I determined there and then to see these brave fellows in their daily work, or leisure in their homes, amid all the surroundings of their noble calling. I went accompanied by an artistic friend, to whose efforts the illustrations which accompany this record are due. Emerging from Queen-street, we find ourselves upon Southwark Bridge, and we at once plunge into a flood of memories of old friends who come, invisibly, to accompany us on our pilgrimage to old Winchester House, now the head-quarters of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, in the Southwark Bridge-road. On the bridge—once a "tolled" structure known as the Iron Bridge—we find "{{w|Little Dorrit}}" herself, and her suitor, young John Chivery, in all his brave attire; the young aspirant is downhearted at the decided refusal of Miss Amy to marry him, as they pace the then almost unfrequented bridge. Their ghosts cross it in our company, with Clennan and Maggie behind us, till we reach the Union-road, once known as Horsemonger-lane, where young John's ghost quits us to meditate in the back yard of Mr. Chivery's premises, and become that "broken-down ruin," catching cold beneath the family washing, which he feared. The whole neighbourhood is redolent of [[Author:Charles Dickens|Dickens]]. From a spot close by the head office we can see the buildings which have been erected on the site of the King's Bench Prison, where Mr. Micawber waited for something to turn up, and where Copperfield lost his box and money. The site of the former "haven of domestic tranquillity and peace of mind," as Micawber styled it, is indicated to us by Mr. Harman—quite a suitable name in such a connection with Dickens—by whom we are courteously and pleasantly received in the office of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. Our credentials being in order there is no difficulty experienced in our reception. Nothing can exceed the civility and politeness of the officials, and of the rank and file of the Brigade. Fine, active, cheerful fellows, all sailors, these firemen are a credit to their organisation and to London. The Superintendent hands us over to a bright young fellow, who is waiting his promotion—we hope he has reached it, if not a death vacancy—and he takes us in charge kindly. [[file:Fire brigade, pg 23--The Strand Magazine, vol 1, no 1.png|300px|right|thumb|{{c|{{smaller|ENGINES GALLOP UP.}}}}]] Standing in the very entrance, we had already remarked two engines. The folding, automatic doors are closed in front of these machines. One, a steamer, is being nursed by means of a gas tube to keep the fire-box warm. When the fire-call rings there is no time to begin to get up steam. The well-heated interior soon acts in response to the quickly lighted fire as the engine starts, and by the time our steamer reaches its destination steam is generated. A spare steamer is close at hand. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 2j43azqrp7mg98p54wu56h8tenf4fnq Page:The Strand Magazine (Volume 1).djvu/25 104 2145474 12507444 11251104 2022-07-24T22:19:28Z Qq1122qq 1889140 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Qq1122qq" />{{RunningHeader|24 | {{larger|''THE STRAND MAGAZINE. }} | }}</noinclude>Very bright and clean is the machine, which in a way puts its useful ally, the "manual," in the shade; though at present the latter kind are more numerous, in the proportion of seventy-eight to forty-eight. Turning from the engines, we notice a row of burnished helmets hanging over tunics, and below these, great knee-boots, which are so familiar to the citizen. When the alarm is rung, these are donned rapidly; but we opine the gates will occupy some time in the opening. Our guide smiles, and points out two ropes hanging immediately over the driving seat of each engine. "When the engine is ready the coachman pulls the rope, and the gates open of their own accord, you may say. See here!" He turns to the office entrance, where two ropes are hanging side by side. A pull on each, and the doors leading to the back-yard open and unfold themselves. The catch drops deftly into an aperture made to receive it, and the portals are thus kept open. About a second and a half is occupied in this manœuvre. We consider it unfortunate that we shall not see a "turn out," as alarms by day are not usual. The Superintendent looks quizzical, but says nothing then. He gives instructions to our guide to show us all we want to see, and in this spirit we examine the instrument room close at hand. Here are fixed a number of telephonic apparatus, labelled with the names of the stations:—Manchester-square, Clerkenwell, Whitechapel, and so on, five in number, known by the Brigade as Superintendents' Stations, A, B, C, D, E Districts. By these means immediate communication can be obtained with any portion of the Metropolis, and the condition and requirements of the fires reported. There is also a frame in the outer office which bears a number of electric bells, which can summon the head of any department, or demand the presence of any officer instantly. It is extraordinary to see the quiet way in which the work is performed, the ease and freedom of the men, and the strict observance of discipline withal. Very few men are visible as we pass on to the repairing shops. (Illustration, p. 29.) Here the engines are repaired and inspected. There are eleven steamers in the shed, some available for service, and so designated. If an outlying station require a steamer in substitution for its own, here is one ready. The boilers are examined every six months, and tested by water-pressure up to 180 lbs. on the square inch, in order to sustain safely the steam pressure up to 120 lbs., when it "blows off." Passing down the shed we notice the men—all Brigade men—employed at their various tasks in the forge or carpenters' shop. Thus it will be perceived that the head-quarters enclose many different artizans, and is self-contained. The men were lifting a boiler when we were present, and our artist "caught them in the act." Close to the entrance is a high "shoot" in which hang pendant numerous ropes and many lengths of drying hose. The impression experienced when standing underneath, and gazing upwards, is something like the feeling one would have while gazing up at the tops of the trees in a pine wood. There is a sense of vastness in this narrow lofty brick enclosure, which is some 70 ft. high. The hose is doubled in its length of 100 ft., and then it drains dry, for the moisture is apt to conceal itself in the rubber lining, and in the nozzles and head-screws of the hoses. No precaution is neglected, no point is missed. Vigilant eyes are everywhere; bright responsive faces and ready hands are continually in evidence, but unobtrusively. Turning from the repairing shops we proceed to the stables, where we find things in the normal condition of preparedness. "Be ready" is evidently the watchword of the Brigade. Ready, aye ready! Neatness and cleanliness are here scrupulously regarded. Tidiness is the feature of the stables. A pair of horses on either side are standing, faces outward, in their stalls. Four handsome, well-groomed, lithe animals they look; and as we enter they regard us with considerable curiosity, a view which we reciprocate. Round each horse's neck is suspended his collar. A weight let into the woodwork or the stall holds the harness by means of a lanyard and swivel. When the alarm rings the collar is dropped, and in "half a second" the animals, traces and splinter-bar hanging on their sleek backs and sides, are trotted out and harnessed. Again we express our regret that no kind householder will set fire to his tenement, that no nice children will play with matches or candle this fine morning, and let us "see everything," like Charles Middlewick. Once more our guide smiles, and passes on through the forage and harness-rooms,<noinclude></noinclude> dlzpnrtzbxqg5jpxm4li3i6iti1edfc Page:Bills of Mortality.pdf/11 104 2145526 12508027 7448724 2022-07-25T06:29:35Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 spelling proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Beeswaxcandle" />{{c|( 7 )}}</noinclude>which was further elaborated in 1747 by the addition of hour glasses. These features are seen in the accompanying reproduction of the Bill for the year 1801. Despite their rudimentary character, the Bills of Mortality were frequently the subject of investigation and analysis during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The earliest work of this nature is that by Captain [[Author:John Graunt|John Graunt]], entitled "[[Natural and Political Observations Made upon the Bills of Mortality (Graunt 1676)|Natural and Political Observations made upon the Bills of Mortality]]," first published in 1661, and subsequently much enlarged by Sir [[Author:William Petty|William Petty]]. This singularly interesting volume is the first instance of the application of statistical methods to the phenomena of human society. Its merits were immediately recognized, and the Royal Society promptly elected the author a Fellow, and bore the expense of printing and publishing his book. Captain Graunt gives the following account of the manner in which the Bills were compiled: "When any one dies, then either by tolling, or ringing of a Bell, or by be{{ls}}peaking of a Grave of the ''Sexton,'' the same is known to the ''Searchers'' corre{{ls}}ponding with the {{ls}}aid ''Sexton.'' "The ''Searchers'' hereupon (who are ancient Matrons {{ls}}worn to their Office) repair to the place where the dead Corps lies, and by view of the {{ls}}ame, and by other enquiries, they examine by what ''Di{{ls}}ea{{ls}}e'' or ''Ca{{ls}}ualty'' the Corps died. Hereupon they make their Report to the ''Pari{{ls}}h Clerk,'' and he every ''Tuesday'' night, carries in an Accompt of all the ''Burials'' and ''Chri{{ls}}tnings'' happening that Week to the ''Clerk'' of the ''Hall.'' On ''Wednesday'' the general Accompt is made up and printed, and on ''Thur{{ls}}day'' publifhed and di{{ls}}per{{ls}}ed to the {{ls}}everal Families who will pay four Shillings ''per annum'' for them": A further picture of the searchers is afforded by the regulations issued by the Lord Mayor in 1666 to stay the progress of the plague, and quoted by [[Author:Daniel Defoe|De Foe]] in his "[[A Journal of the Plague Year|Journal of the Plague Year]]": "That there be a special care to appoint women searchers in every parish such as are of honest reputation, and of the best sort as can be got in this kind; and these to be sworn to make due search and true report to the utmost of their knowledge whether the persons<noinclude></noinclude> 0dqgt3o2t9qttizxpdlskqo9roskk1x Page:Carnegie Flexner Report.djvu/216 104 2147542 12507203 12187229 2022-07-24T20:33:47Z BD2412 1511 fmt some proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="BD2412" />{{rh|198|MEDICAL EDUCATION|}}</noinclude>''Entrance Requirement:'' A four-year high school education or its equivalent.

''Resources available for maintenance:'' The school is supported out of the total university income of $200,000 per annum. Its fee income is $4043; its budget, $28,000. ''Laboratory facilities:'' The school is in general satisfactorily equipped to do undergraduate teaching in the medical sciences. Full-time men are in charge of pathology, bacteriology, and physiology, though the departments lack trained assistants. Histology and embryology are taught in the department of biology. The chair of anatomy is occupied by a non-resident surgeon. There is a good library, with a subscription list including the best German and English journals. A regular fund is available for the purchase of books and apparatus. ''Clinical facilities:'' The university hospital is entirely inadequate, even though the school is small. It contains $5 beds and averages 16 patients availabt for teaching. Its management has only recently been modernized. It now contains a. clinical laboratory where students work, keeping exee!lent reeoxls of their findings.

It can therefore safely go to a higher standard; indeed, the new law provides that after 191, all applicants for license must have had, previous to their medical education, a year of college work. As this is a practice, and not an educational, requirement, the Denver school may still continue to train low-grade men for adjacent states; x but it is probable that if it continues on a standard below the legal practice minimum, it will be too discredited, and if it arises to the aforesaid minimum, too much reduced, to continue. The state university alone, so far as we can now see, can hope to obtain the financial backing necessary to teach medicine in the proper way regardless of income from fees, and to it a monopoly should quickly fall. Its. laboratory facilities are steadily increasing, but adequate clinical resources are not at present assured. It is important, therefore, that as a first step the state university gain access to the clinical facilities at Denver, from which it is now cut off, first, by a constitutional provision forbidding the state university to teach except at Boulder, second, by the fact that the City Hospital is It is. however, equally in the interest of these states that a further low-grade supply should be cut off. vUogmhi_n_on,e of.t.he?!lowing. st_es .h.as,a medical school, all have too many doctors.

A quiet call from me for this extra contribution, in aid of our Church Building Fund, found you all “with one accord in one place.” Each donation came promptly; sometimes at much self-sacrifice, but always accompanied with a touching letter breathing the donor's privileged joy. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 7g22rjp04j2sihf9e5wsniac26k8an2 Page:Manualofprayersf00cath.djvu/32 104 2195370 12506801 6591374 2022-07-24T16:44:49Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Beleg Tâl" />{{border/s|color=red}}</noinclude>{{c|{{larger|{{red|{{bl|Brief Statement of Christian Doctrine.}}}}}}}} {{rule|4em}} {{c|''The Ten Commandvients of God.''—[[Exodus (Bible)|Exodus xx]].}} {{image missing}}{{di|I}} AM the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

On his arrival at Baghdad the men who prosecuted the same ancient studies as he flocked to meet him, but he shut the door in their faces, as one who had renounced those studies and cultivated them no longer. On his return to his native city he made a practice of attending the morning and evening prayers, and of disguising his private opinions, but for all that they were no secret. In astronomy and in philosophy he was without a rival, and his eminence in those sciences would have passed into a proverb had I he only possessed self-control." Shahrastáni's view of Omar's character appears to have been the one generally accepted by the literary men of Islam, as Abul Feda, who lived about 200 years later, writes much in the same strain, lamenting his being so much addicted to poetry and pleasure. In an essay by the celebrated [[Author:Al-Ghazali|Ghazzáli of Tús]], who was, like Shahrastáni, a contemporary of Omar's, there is a passage in which Omar is not improbably referred to as an example of the sceptical habit of mind induced by scientific pursuits.<ref>See Schmölders, ''Essai sur les ecoles philosophiques chez les Arabes'', p. 115. Ghazzáli was born in 450.</ref> The following story of Omar in his old age is given in the preface to the Calcutta MS. on the authority of [[Author:Nizami Aruzi|Nizámi of Samarkand]], one of his disciples:— "I chanced to meet Maulana Omar in a garden, and in course of conversation he said, 'My tomb shall be in a certain place where each breath of the north wind shall shower down roses upon it.'

'As surely as the supplicatory language of begging people both now and before is as pleasing to my ears as the sound of benedictions, so surely may one eye appear to me!' No sooner had the king pronounced these words than by the power of his firm veracity and his excellent store of meritorious actions one eye appeared to him, resembling a piece of a lotus-petal, encompassing a pupil like sapphire. Rejoiced at this miraculous appearance of his eye, the king again spoke to ''S''akra: 37. 'And as surely as, after giving away both eyes to him who asked but one, my mind knew no other feeling but the utmost delight, so surely may I obtain also the other eye!' The king had hardly finished, when there appeared to him another eye, the rival, as it were, of the first one. 38-40. Upon this the earth was shaken with its mountains; the ocean flowed over its borders; the drums of the celestials spontaneously uttered deep-toned and pleasing sounds; the sky in all directions looked placid and lovely; the sun shone with pure brightness as it does in autumn<ref>It was spring when the miracle happened, as is to be inferred from the flowers being mentioned above.</ref>; a great number of various flowers, tinged by the sandal powder which was whirling around, fell down from heaven; the celestials, including Apsarasas and Ga''n''as, came to the spot, their eyes wide opened with amazement; there blew an agreeable wind of extreme loveliness; gladness expanded in the minds of the creatures. 41-43. From all parts were heard voices of praise, uttered by crowds of beings endowed with great magic power. Filled with joy and admiration, they glorified the great exploit of the king in such exclamations: 'Oh, what loftiness! what compassion! see the purity of his heart, how great it is! oh, how little he cares for his own pleasures!

At rather less than a line in advance of this tooth is a minute one like the fourth ; in advance of this is the base of a larger denticle (''ib.'' {{sm|''b''}}), the fracture of which shows a cavity filled by pyritic matrix; and at a line in advance of this is the fractured hollow base of a smaller denticle: these hollows might at first sight be mistaken for sockets. The alveolar border of the left side of the upper jaw (Pl. XVI. fig. 2, & fig. 6, magnified two diameters), continued further forward than that of the right side, shows, at a part wanting on the right side, a more advanced tooth ({{sm|''c''}}), of the same shape as the fifth ({{sm|''a''}}) from the hindermost on the right side, but somewhat larger ; its apex is more obtuse and seems to have been worn. This tooth is also a direct continuation of the bone, with the osseous sculpturing more feebly marked than on the jaw, the tooth appearing smooth to the naked eye. The bases of two smaller denticles appear in the 3 lines extent of alveolar border in advance of this tooth. Thus we have evidence of about twelve of the maxillary teeth or tooth-like processes—two large, divided by an interval of about half an inch, the rest small or minute—all compressed, triangular, pointed, arming the hinder inch and a half of the alveolar border on each side of the upper jaw. This dental character is more distinctly displayed in the corresponding parts of the alveolar border of the lower jaw. On the right side (P1. XVI. fig. 1), in an extent of 8 lines from the suture of the dentary ({{sm|32}}) with the surangular ({{sm|31}}), are five denticles (fig. 5, magn. 2 diameters): the hindermost is as minute as the one above; the next is somewhat larger; the third ({{sm|''d''}}) is much larger, though not so large as the fifth ({{sm|''a''}}) above, behind which the point of the third below projects. The fourth tooth below (counting forwards) is minute, the fifth ({{sm|''e''}}) suddenly enlarged, especially in length, to 3 lines, with a breadth of base of 1 line; it is sharp-pointed, directed obliquely upward and forward. These teeth are processes of the bone; and the outward markings are strongest near the apex. In the left dentary (Pl. XVI. fig. 2 & fig. 6, magn. 2 diams.), along an inch extent of the hind part of the alveolar border, are three of the larger laniariform teeth (''ib. ib.'' {{sm|''d, e, f''}}), divided by intervals of from 3 to 4 lines, in which are minute denticles. The lower laniaries are longer and more slender than the upper ones; they are similarly directed, with their summits slightly inclined forward. On an estimate of the extent of the dentigerous borders of the jaws at 3 inches, and a conjecture that the larger teeth were continued at the same intervals (as shown in the fossil) to the ends of the restored jaws, there would be ten of these teeth on each side of both upper and lower mandibles ; the intervening denticles would be about double that number (see conjectural restoration, fig. 8, Pl. XVI.).

The inference which has been drawn as to the length of the beak leads us first to compare ''Odontopteryx'' with those birds in which that part also exceeds in length the rest of the skull, which latter portion, bounded in front by the fronto-nasal suture, I shall speak of in the ensuing comparisons as the "cranium." Such character is exceptional in the ''Aves aereæ'' and ''Aves terrestres'' of Nitzsch. The Hornbills, Toucans, a few Crows, certain Woodpeckers, Kingfishers, Cuckoos, Humming-birds, Kivis, Ostriches, manifest it, but with well-marked differential characters pointing to another road, for the closer affinity of which we are in quest. A beak longer than the cranium is the rule in the ''Aves aquaticæ''; but not any of the waders has the external nostrils so remote from the orbits as in ''Odontopteryx''. This character of the fossil confines one to the Totipalmates and tubinarial Longipennates; but the Petrels, like the Albatrosses, Gulls, Terns, and Skimmers have other well-marked characters which remove them from the present extinct genus. Indeed, the absence of the superorbital gland-pit in ''Odontopteryx'' limits the field of comparison to the Totipalmates and Lamellirostrals, in which, however, the Swan (''Cygnus olor'') and some Geese (''Cereopsis'') and Teal show traces, more or less definite, of the impression of such gland above and behind the rim of the orbit. There is no such trace in the Cormorants, Anhingas, and Gannets; and it is in these fish-eating sea-birds that an extent of upper beak-bone, free from narial vacuities, would be found corresponding with that which is preserved in the Sheppey fossil. But the Totipalmates have not the orbit bounded by a hind wall as in ''Odontopteryx''; the superorbital border is abruptly truncate behind by a wide and deep crotaphyte fossa, which in the Cormorant and Gannet ascends so as almost to meet its fellow upon the parietal region of the cranium. In ''Odontopteryx'', the parietal region is broadly and smoothly arched (Pl. XVI. fig. 4, {{sm|7}}); and the crotaphyte fossa (Pl. XVI. figs. 1, 2, {{sm|''s''}} ), very shallow, commences low down at the side of the arch (fig. 1, {{sm|''s''}}), very little above the level of the foramen magnum. Now this is the character of the fossa in certain ''Anatidæ'', the Goose (''Anser palustris'') e.g.; and in this family, also, the orbital wall is continued down the back part of the cavity as in ''Odontopteryx'', but is there produced forward as a strong process, which seems not to have existed in the fossil. The hinder half, however, of the external nostril would have appeared in the base of the beak preserved in the fossil, if the bird it represents had partaken of the narial characters of the Lamellirostrals. In most of these water-birds the coronoid border of the mandible is raised into a definable process; and where, as in ''Mergus'', this is not the case, the outstanding tubercle is present, of which there is no trace in ''Odontopteryx'', as there is none in the Totipalmates. The hind half of the mandibular ramus resembles in its depth and thinness that part of the lower jaw of the Lamellirostrals more<noinclude></noinclude> s8uh4yftu6h0z7c6ylrfiwfsl58mtap Page:Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1892).djvu/209 104 2350913 12506946 11918043 2022-07-24T18:13:16Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Plan9fromInnerSpace" />{{rh||GIVES THEM A PASS.|203}}</noinclude>could then be suggested. On the water we had a chance of being regarded as fishermen, in the service of a master. On the other hand, by taking the land route, through the counties adjoining Delaware, we should be subjected to all manner of interruptions, and many disagreeable questions, which might give us serious trouble. Any white man, if he pleased, was authorized to stop a man of color on any road, and examine and arrest him. By this arrangement many abuses (considered such even by slaveholders) occurred. Cases have been known where freemen, being called upon by a pack of ruffians to show their free papers, have presented them, when the ruffians have torn them up, seized the victim and sold him to a life of endless bondage. The week before our intended start, I wrote a pass for each of our party, giving him permission to visit Baltimore during the Easter holidays. The pass ran after this manner: "This is to certify that I, the undersigned, have given the bearer, my servant John, full liberty to go to Baltimore to spend the Easter holidays. {{right|{{asc|W.

Although we were not going to Baltimore, and were intending to land east of North Point, in the direction I had seen the Philadelphia steamers go, these passes might be useful to us in the lower part of the bay, while steering towards Baltimore. These were not, however, to be shown by us until all our answers had failed to satisfy the inquirer. We were all fully alive to the importance of being calm and self-possessed when accosted, if accosted we should be; and we more than once rehearsed to each other how we should behave in the hour of trial.

This may be put to the actual test if any one is curious to prove it. Let any man teach a parrot to say "I" (it meaning thereby itself), and we pledge ourselves to unwrite all that we have written upon this topic. <ref> It will not do to say that man is capable of forming the notion expressed by the word "I," in consequence of the reason with which he has been endowed, and that the parrot and other animals are not thus capable of forming it in consequence of their inferior degree of intelligence. We have treated of this point at some length in the first part of our discussion. Let us now, however, make one remark on the subject. It is plain that an increase or a deficiency of reason can only cause the creature in which it operates to accomplish its ends with greater or less exactness and perfection. Reason in itself runs straight, however much its volume may be augmented. Is it said that this consciousness, this self-reference, this reflex fact denoted by the word "I," is merely a peculiar inflection which reason takes in man, and which it does not take in animals? True; but the smallest attention shows us that reason only takes this peculiar inflection in consequence of falling in with the fact of consciousness: so that instead of reason accounting for consciousness, instead of consciousness being the derivative of reason, we find that it is consciousness which meets reason, and gives it that peculiar turn we have spoken of, rendering it and all its works referable to ourselves. It is not, then, reason which gives rise to consciousness, but it is the prior existence of consciousness which makes reason ''human'' reason.</ref> We have now, then, brought this question to a conclusion; besides having opened up slightly and incidentally a few collateral views connected with other problems, we have returned a distinct answer to the question — When does consciousness come into operation? Sensation, passion, reason, &c., all exist as soon as the human being is born, but ''consciousness'' only comes into existence when he has originated within him the notion and the reality denoted by the word "I." Then only does he begin to exist ''for himself''. In our next paper we shall proceed to the discussion of the most important, but at the same time most difficult, question in all psychology — ''How'' does consciousness come into operation? <section end="A821" /> <section begin="B822" />{{c|WHIG PRACTICES AND WHIG PROFESSIONS.}} {{sc|It}} is usual for statesmen and philosophers, in considering the position and prospects of a country, to search in the history of bygone times for circumstances analogous to those in which they feel themselves placed; and thus, very frequently, with the page of experience opened before them, they are supplied with beacons, and landmarks, and warnings, to aid them in the task of regulating the national affairs. But now, all speculators and rulers may search in vain for any records of a time similar to the present. There may have been seasons of more urgent peril, and periods of deeper gloom; there may have been eras of more misfortune, and times of greater distress; but never in the whole history of man was there an age of such vast importance, and of such manifest transitions, in which the controllers of popular destinies were more insignificant in their talents, and more unworthy of their charge. We look around us and see elements at work of the most powerful nature, principles at work of the most cogent force, and passions aroused of the strongest description; but those who are doomed to " ride on the whirlwind and direct the storm" are partakers of little of the energy of the time, and are feeble instruments in feeble hands. It is indeed marvellous to behold, at a period when mighty interests are at stake and mighty minds are wanted to uphold them, the great intellectual lords of the creation, excluded by a faction from influence and authority, and excluded thus in order to keep in positions they are not qualified to fill the trembling puppets of a corrupt court. We -much doubt if there be now a man in Britain of acknowledged mental superiority — if there be a single man whose name will float down the rushing stream of time, who possesses any direct influence on the national councils, or any weight in the management of public affairs. <section end="B822" /><noinclude>{{rule}} {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> onbbofb1wsedrzspq7qqj5nj3z2bswj Page:Blackwood's Magazine volume 044.djvu/557 104 2369508 12507288 7078822 2022-07-24T21:02:34Z Klarm768 2827674 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Klarm768" />{{rh|1838.]|''An Introduction to the Philosophy of Consciousness''.|543}}</noinclude>But how can man ''act'' before he ''is''? Perhaps we cannot perfectly explain the ''How'', but we can state, and have stated the ''That'', namely, that the fact is so. But at the same time we beg it to be understood that it is only in one sense that this is true. We would not be misunderstood. We here guard ourselves from the imputation of saying that in every sense man is absolutely a nonentity before he acts, or that he actually creates his Being. This we are very far indeed from affirming. Prior to the act of consciousness, he possesses, as we have said, an existence in the eyes of others; and this species of existence is undoubtedly ''given''. Anterior to this act, the foundations of his Being are wonderfully and inscrutably laid. He is a mighty machine, testifying his Creator's power. But at this time being destitute of consciousness, we again maintain that he is destitute of personality, and that therefore he wants that which constitutes the true reality and proper life of humanity. We maintain, further, that this personality, realized by consciousness, is a new kind of existence reared up upon the ground of that act; that, further, there was no provision made in the old ''substratum'' of unconscious Being for the evolution of this new act; but that, like the fall of man (with which perhaps it is in some way connected), it is an absolutely free and underived deed, self-originated, and entirely exempt from the law of causality; and, moreover, in its very essence, the antagonist of that law. This we shall endeavour to make out in the following chapters, and if we can succeed in showing this act to be primary original and free, of course it will follow that the Being which results from it must be free likewise. But, whether we succeed or not, we at any rate think that, having shown fully that the thought "I" precedes and brings along with it the reality or existence "I," and that this thought "I" is an act, we have now said enough to establish this important truth in psychology, that man, when philosophizing concerning himself, does not do well to commence with the contemplation, or with any consideration of himself ''as a Being'' (we say this with an especial eye to the substance and doctrine of "Mind"), for his proper Being is but a secondary articulation in his actual development, and therefore ought to form but a secondary step in his scientific study of himself, and ought to hold but a subordinate place in his regard. But he ought to commence with the contemplation of himself ''as an act'' (the act of consciousness), for this is, in reality, his true and radical beginning; and, therefore, in speculation he ought to follow the same order; and, copying the living truth of things in his methodical exposition of himself, should take this act as the primary commencement or starting-point of his philosophical researches. Such, in our opinion, is the only true method of psychological science. {{c|{{sc|Chapter}} II.}} Man's existence for others, his unconscious existence, is immediately ''given''; his existence for himself, his conscious personal existence, the reality ''ego'', is not immediately given, but is realized through an act. Thus a radical distinction between these two sorts of existence is established, the one being found to precede, and the other to follow that act. The Necessitarian, however, takes no note of this distinction. He breaks down the line of demarcation between them. He runs the two species of existence into one; and the Libertarian, usually acquiescing in this want of discrimination, places in his adversary's hand the only weapon with which he might successfully have combated him. Disagreeing widely in their conclusions, they yet agree so far in their premises, that both of them postulate, in an unqualified manner, man's existence, as a ''substratum'' for his actions. On this account, therefore, it must be confessed that the victory, in point of logic, has always been on the side of the Necessitarian, however much common sense and moral principle may have rebelled against his conclusions. For a given or compulsatory existence can never be free in any of its acts. It can merely serve to ''conduct'' the activity transmitted to it from other quarters; and the peculiar inflections, whatever these may be, whether to evil or to<noinclude></noinclude> iq745wf2tnoto0ogtc1wkh43ygcqdbe Page:Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, vol. 33.djvu/19 104 2369983 12507492 12412310 2022-07-24T22:53:55Z Mike s 915588 /* Not proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Mike s" />{{rh||{{smaller|FOSSILS FIGURED AND DESCRIBED.}}|ix}} {{nop}} {| align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" | colspan="2" {{ts|bt|bb|br|ac}} | Name of Species. | colspan="2" {{ts|bt|bb|br|ac}} | Formation. | colspan="3" {{ts|bt|bb|br|ac}} | Locality. | {{ts|bt|bb|ac}} | Page. |- | colspan="8" {{ts|ac}} | <br>{{sc|Mollusca}} (''continued''). |- | colspan="8" {{ts|ac}} | <br>''Gasterpoda.''

The United States Government began sending Indian youths there in 1878. General Armstrong was president of the Institute till his death, May 11, 1893. <section end="Armstrong, Samuel Chapman" /> <section begin="Armstrong, William George, Lord" />'''ARMSTRONG, WILLIAM GEORGE,''' '''LORD''', an English inventor, born in 1810 at Newcastle. He was articled to a solicitor, and became a partner in the firm. In 1840 he produced a much improved hydraulic engine, and in 1845 the hydraulic crane. In 1842 he brought to perfection an apparatus for producing electricity from steam. He was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1846; and shortly afterward commenced the Elswick Engine Works, Newcastle, producing hydraulic cranes, engines, accumulators, and bridges, but was soon to be famous for the production of ordnance. During the Crimean War, Armstrong was employed by the War Office to make explosive apparatus for blowing up the ships sunk at Sebastopol. This led him to devise the form of cannon which bears his name. The essential feature of the Armstrong gun, whether rifled or smooth bore, breech-loading or muzzle-loading, is that the barrel is built up of successive coils of wrought-iron, welded round a mandrel into a homogeneous mass of great tenacity, the breech being especially strengthened on similar principles. The actual results obtained by these guns, even of the earlier patterns, were almost incredible. An ordinary 32-pounder weighed 5,700 pounds. Armstrong's 32- pounder weighed 2,600 pounds. The former required 10 pounds of powder as a charge; for the latter 5 pounds sufficed. The former would send a shot or shell 3,000 yards; the range of the latter exceeded 9,000 yards. Armstrong offered to the government all his inventions; and, till 1863, there existed a kind of partnership between the government and the Elswick firm, Armstrong being knighted in 1858, and appointed chief-engineer of rifled ordnance. Already a member of many scientific societies, he was in 1863 President of the British Association. Cambridge and Oxford conferred honorary degrees on Armstrong, who was raised to the peerage as Baron Armstrong in 1887. He died Dec. 27, 1900. <section end="Armstrong, William George, Lord" /> <section begin="Army" />'''ARMY''', the national militia of a country. The organization of an army is of two kinds—tactical and administrative. The former enables the leader of an army to transmit his orders to three or four subordinate commanders, who pass them on, the latter deals with the paying, feeding, clothing, arming and transportation of the military forces. <!-- column 2 --> ''Ancient Armies''.—The earliest regular military organization is attributed to Sesostris, who flourished in Egypt about 16 centuries {{asc|B. C.}} This extraordinary conqueror divided Egypt into 36 military provinces, and established a sort of militia or warrior caste. With this army he overran Asia as far as India, and from the Ganges to the Caspian. After him little further progress was made in military art until the Persian empire rose. Its soldiers introduced the mass formation, with cavalry in intervals of squares; but the most important feature of the Persian organization was the establishment of what was practically a standing army, apportioned as garrisons throughout the conquered provinces, and under the control of military governors distinct from the satraps. In Greece it was not a standing army, but a sort of national militia, that gained Marathon, Platæa, and Mycale. The Lacedemonians invented the famous phalanx, a particular mass formation for foot-soldiers; and to this the Athenians added lighter troops to cover the front and harass the enemy in march. The Thebans introduced the column formation, which, being deeper and narrower than the phalanx, was intended to pierce the enemy's line at some point and throw them into confusion. Philip, the father of Alexander the Great, established, in Macedonia, the world's second standing-army. He brought into use the Macedonian pike, a formidable weapon 24 feet in length. About 200 {{asc|B. C.}} every Roman from the age of 17 to 46 was liable to be called upon to serve as a soldier. The Roman legion, in its best days, excelled all other troops alike in discipline and in esprit. With a gradual laxity in discipline the decline of the Roman power commenced. ''Medieval Armies''.—With the decline of the Roman power all that remained of scientific warfare was lost for a time. The Northern invaders made little use of tactics, but relied chiefly on their personal bravery. The conquerors of the Roman Empire at first recognized no superior save the community, of which all conquests were the property. What all had aided to acquire all demanded equally to share. Hence arose a division of the conquered territory, individual chiefs rewarding their own followers with gifts of the land they had helped to conquer. The growth of a feeling that such gifts could be revoked, and that they implied an obligation to future service, marks the beginning of the feudal system, under which national armies disappeared, and each baron had a small<section end="Army" /><noinclude></noinclude> ogmrx9f1g5utzistbb8z1pnsiw8n97i Page:Collier's New Encyclopedia v. 06.djvu/460 104 2385043 12506912 9189029 2022-07-24T18:03:35Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Bob Burkhardt" />{{rh-c|{{c|'''NAVY'''}}|390|{{c|'''NAVY'''}}|center-width=10}}</noinclude>{{hwe|thoritative|authoritative}} record of a Saxon (British) sea-fight in which many vessels were engaged. In 870 {{asc|A. D.}} Harald Haarfagr, King of Norway, fought and won a naval battle against the vessels which minor kings of his country had sent against him. Olaf Trygvasson, a grandson of Harald, with the allied powers of Denmark, Vendland, and Norwegians of the province of Viken fought a naval battle in which vessels 150 feet long were engaged. In 1014 {{asc|A. D.}} the Danes and Saxons captured London, in the first recorded naval fight against a land force. Norse sea-power began to decline in the latter part of the 11th century, but Sigurd was successful at sea in expeditions against the Moors in Spain and the pirates of the Mediterranean. Spain strove hard for pre-eminence as a maritime nation, but was not successful, and the destruction of the Armada, 1588, was the last blow to her aspirations. The British and the Dutch long held the lead in naval warfare. Alfred the Great may be said to have founded the British navy, and Athelstane, Edwy the Fair, and Canute strengthened the sea-forces and increased the number of vessels. After the Norman conquest there was a great expansion in ships of commerce and defense. Under Henry II. and Richard the Lionhearted, British sea-power grew in strength and efficiency. In 1340 Edward III. commanded in person at the battle of Sluys when the French lost 300 vessels. It was the first naval fight in which sails replaced oars. Henry VIII. was interested in ordnance and the building of big ships. The "Great Harry" carried 75 guns and 760 men. He was the first sovereign to appoint officers for naval warfare only. The guns and gun-carriages employed during his reign were not changed for 200 years. He founded the docks of Woolwich, Deptford, and Portsmouth. Little was accomplished by succeeding sovereigns until the reign of Elizabeth. As the modern navy developed from galley to great ship the vital questions became speed, construction, offensive armaments, and facilities for maneuvering. At first there were only two classes of vessels, the ship-of-line bearing the brunt of the offensive, and the frigate for speed. The ship-of-line, a three-decker, carried 100 or more guns, and bore the burden of battle. The frigate was employed on special missions and preyed on enemy ships. With the passing of wooden vessels, came iron and steel ships, new types were introduced and improvements in the power of the guns. {{figure |image= Collier's 1921 Navy - Location of Guns on Dreadnoughts.jpg |width= 700px |position= center |bottomcaption= {{c|{{asc|DIAGRAM SHOWING LOCATION OF GUNS ON U.

If an American vessel makes any repairs in a foreign port, duty must be paid on the value of all such repairs on her return to this country. The repairing of foreign vessels in our ports, with foreign materials, is placed under restriction. A tax of six cents per ton of their burden, called a tonnage tax, is imposed on all vessels (except fishing and pleasure vessels) engaged in trade to ports not in North or Central America and a few other specified places, the maximum aggregate tax in any one year not exceeding 30 cents. Foreign vessels pay the same tax, but if one of the officers of an American vessel is a foreigner, it is forced to pay an additional tax of 50 cents. Materials for the construction of vessels for foreign trade may be imported free of duty, but the duty must be paid if the vessel engages for more than two months a year in the coasting trade. American vessels may unload at any port of delivery in the customs district, but foreign vessels can only discharge their cargoes at a port of entry, which is a certain designated port in each customs district in the United States. Exceptions are made when they are laden with coal, salt, or similar merchandise in bulk. <section end="Navigation Laws" /> <section begin="Navigators' Islands" />'''{{sp|NAVIGATORS'}} ISLANDS'''. See {{Collier's article link|Samoan Islands}}. <section end="Navigators' Islands" /> <section begin="Navy, The" />'''NAVY, THE''', a term used for a country's armed force operating on water or in defense of coasts and harbors. The earliest recorded sea-fights were waged by the Egyptians against the Phoenicians, Phocæans, and Mysians, about 3000 {{asc|B.&nbsp;C.}} The Phœnicians, among the greatest sea-faring people of antiquity, occupied a narrow strip of sea-coast in Asia Minor. After casting off the yoke of Egyptian rule, from 1200 {{asc|B.&nbsp;C.}} to 870 {{asc|B.&nbsp;C.}}, the Phœnicians commanded the sea, but their power waned between 870 and 650 {{asc|B.&nbsp;C.}}, and Carthage, a Phœnician colony, gradually surpassed the parent state in sea-power. One of the earliest recorded sea-fights was the battle of Salamis, 480 {{asc|B.&nbsp;C.}}, when the Greeks under Themistocles defeated the fleet of Xerxes, which marked the turning point in the last Persian invasion. A Carthaginian vessel wrecked on the coast of Italy supplied the Romans with the model for their navy. The first great naval battle of the Romans was fought 260 {{asc|B.&nbsp;C.}} off the Lipari Islands when Duilius defeated a superior Carthaginian fleet under Hannibal. {{figure |image= Collier's 1921 Navy, The - British Super-Dreadnought Hood.jpg |width= 700px |position= center |bottomcaption= {{c|{{asc|BRITISH SUPER-DREADNOUGHT HOOD}}}} }} The galley, the warship of the Greeks, was about 100 feet long and propelled by rowers, having an iron-sheathed prow like a beak, to pierce enemy vessels. It was surmounted by the national emblem, an owl for the Athenians, a cock for the Phœnicians and Carthaginians, and an eagle for the Romans. The galley was decked over for the fighting men who were shielded by a hide curtain, from behind which they launched arrows and javelins. There were machines for hurling stones, masses of iron, and flaming missiles. The commander directed operations from an elevated station. He commanded the soldiers, and under him were the pilot who directed the steersman; a mate who commanded the sailors, and a boatswain the rowers. A musician with voice and instrument cheered and inspired the oarsmen at their task. The vessels usually advanced in triangular formation, the admiral in the lead. After victory, the richest spoils were reserved as oblations to the gods. In the beginning of the Middle Ages, the countries bordering on the Baltic and North Seas, famous sea-rovers, began to organize navies.

But there is a fatality, a feeling so irresistible and inevitable that it has the force of doom, which almost invariably compels human beings to linger around and haunt, ghost-like, the spot where some great and marked event has given the color to their lifetime; and still the more irresistibly, the darker the tinge that saddens it. Her sin, her ignominy, were the roots which she had struck into the soil. It was as if a new birth, with stronger assimilations than the first, had converted the forest-land, still so uncongenial to every other pilgrim and wanderer, into Hester Prynne's wild and dreary, but life-long home. All other scenes of earth—even that village of rural England, where happy infancy and stainless maidenhood seemed yet to be in her mother's keeping, like garments put off long ago—were foreign to her, in comparison. The chain that bound her here was of iron links, and galling to her inmost soul, but could never be broken. It might be, too,—doubtless it was so, although she hid the secret from herself, and grew pale whenever it struggled out of her heart, like a serpent from its hole,—it might be that another feeling kept her within the scene and pathway that had been so fatal. There dwelt, there trode the feet of one with whom she deemed herself connected in a union, that, unrecognized on earth, would bring them together before the bar of final judgment, and make that their marriage-altar, for a joint futurity of endless retribution. Over and over again, the tempter of souls had thrust this idea upon Hester's contemplation, and laughed at the passionate and desperate joy with which she seized, and then<noinclude></noinclude> 7voekcxhmdhnj1kcmoejbqb7xk41arh Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/104 104 2419954 12508067 12192227 2022-07-25T07:25:17Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|92|{{sm|HESTER AT HER NEEDLE.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>strove to cast it from her. She barely looked the idea in the face, and hastened to bar it in its dungeon. What she compelled herself to believe,—what, finally, she reasoned upon, as her motive for continuing a resident of New England,—was half a truth, and half a self-delusion. Here, she said to herself, had been the scene of her guilt, and here should be the scene of her earthly punishment; and so, perchance, the torture of her daily shame would at length purge her soul, and work out another purity than that which she had lost; more saint-like, because the result of martyrdom. Hester Prynne, therefore, did not flee. On the outskirts of the town, within the verge of the peninsula, but not in close vicinity to any other habitation, there was a small thatched cottage. It had been built by an earlier settler, and abandoned, because the soil about it was too sterile for cultivation, while its comparative remoteness put it out of the sphere of that social activity which already marked the habits of the emigrants. It stood on the shore, looking across a basin of the sea at the forest-covered hills, towards the west. A clump of scrubby trees, such as alone grew on the peninsula, did not so much conceal the cottage from view, as seem to denote that here was some object which would fain have been, or at least ought to be, concealed. In this little, lonesome dwelling, with some slender means that she possessed, and by the license of the magistrates, who still kept an inquisitorial watch over her, Hester established herself, with her infant child. A mystic shadow of suspicion immediately attached itself to the spot.

Lonely as was Hester's situation, and without a friend on earth who dared to show himself, she, however incurred no risk of want. She possessed an art that sufficed, even in a land that afforded comparatively little scope for its exercise, to supply food for her thriving infant and herself. It was the art—then, as now, almost the only one within a woman's grasp—of needle-work. She bore on her breast, in the curiously embroidered letter, a specimen of her delicate and imaginative skill, of which the dames of a court might gladly have availed themselves, to add the richer and more spiritual adornment of human ingenuity to their fabrics of silk and gold. Here, indeed, in the sable simplicity that generally characterized the Puritanic modes of dress, there might be an infrequent call for the finer productions of her handiwork. Yet the taste of the age, demanding whatever was elaborate in compositions of this kind, did not fail to extend its influence over our stern progenitors, who had cast behind them so many fashions which it might seem harder to dispense with. Public ceremonies, such as ordinations, the installation of magistrates, and all that could give majesty to the forms in which a new government manifested itself to the people, were, as a matter of policy, marked by a stately and well-conducted ceremonial, and a sombre, but yet a studied magnificence.

In the array of funerals, too,—whether for the apparel of the dead body, or to typify, by manifold emblematic devices of sable cloth and snowy lawn, the sorrow of the survivors,—there was a frequent and characteristic demand for such labor as Hester Prynne could supply. Baby-linen—for babies then wore robes of state—afforded still another possibility of toil and emolument. By degrees, nor very slowly, her handiwork became what would now be termed the fashion. Whether from commiseration for a woman of so miserable a destiny; or from the morbid curiosity that gives a fictitious value even to common or worthless things; or by whatever other intangible circumstance was then, as now, sufficient to bestow, on some persons, what others might seek in vain; or because Hester really filled a gap which must otherwise have remained vacant; it is certain that she had ready and fairly requited employment for as many hours as she saw fit to occupy with her needle. Vanity, it may be, chose to mortify itself, by putting on, for ceremonials of pomp and state, the garments that had been wrought by her sinful hands. Her needle-work was seen on the ruff of the Governor; military men wore it on their scarfs, and the minister on his band; it decked the baby's little cap; it was shut up, to be mildewed and moulder away, in the coffins of the dead.

Like all other joys, she rejected it as sin. This morbid meddling of conscience with an immaterial matter betokened, it is to be feared, no genuine and steadfast penitence, but something doubtful, something that might be deeply wrong, beneath. In this manner, Hester Prynne came to have a part to perform in the world. With her native energy of character, and rare capacity, it could not entirely cast her off, although it had set a mark upon her, more intolerable to a woman's heart than that which branded the brow of Cain. In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it. Every gesture, every word, and even the silence of those with whom she came in contact, implied, and often expressed, that she was banished, and as much alone as if she inhabited another sphere, or communicated with the common nature by other organs and senses than the rest of human kind. She stood apart from moral interests, yet close beside them, like a ghost that revisits the familiar fireside, and can no longer make itself seen or felt; no more smile with the household joy, nor mourn with the kindred sorrow; or, should it succeed in manifesting its forbidden sympathy, awakening only terror and horrible repugnance. These emotions, in fact, and its bitterest scorn besides, seemed to be the sole portion that she retained in the universal heart. It was not an age of delicacy; and her position, although she understood it well, and was in little danger of forgetting it, was often brought before her vivid self-perception, like a new anguish, by<noinclude></noinclude> dj88luvqpau2jfk2jlpmyfa8zm8nbop Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/109 104 2419960 12508071 12192273 2022-07-25T07:26:48Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|97|{{sm|HESTER AT HER NEEDLE.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>the rudest touch upon the tenderest spot. The poor, as we have already said, whom she sought out to be the objects of her bounty, often reviled the hand that was stretched forth to succor them. Dames of elevated rank, likewise, whose doors she entered in the way of her occupation, were accustomed to distil drops of bitterness into her heart; sometimes through that alchemy of quiet malice, by which women can concoct a subtile poison from ordinary trifles; and sometimes, also, by a coarser expression, that fell upon the sufferer's defenceless breast like a rough blow upon an ulcerated wound. Hester had schooled herself long and well; she never responded to these attacks, save by a flush of crimson that rose irrepressibly over her pale cheek, and again subsided into the depths of her bosom. She was patient,—a martyr, indeed,—but she forebore to pray for her enemies; lest, in spite of her forgiving aspirations, the words of the blessing should stubbornly twist themselves into a curse. Continually, and in a thousand other ways, did she feel the innumerable throbs of anguish that had been so cunningly contrived for her by the undying, the ever-active sentence of the Puritan tribunal. Clergymen paused in the street to address words of exhortation, that brought a crowd, with its mingled grin and frown, around the poor, sinful woman. If she entered a church, trusting to share the Sabbath smile of the Universal Father, it was often her mishap to find herself the text of the discourse. She grew to have a dread of children; for they had imbibed from their parents a vague idea of something horrible in this dreary woman, gliding silently through the town, with never<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> nbezd94s4e9zggcgr3adm4150tak7en Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/110 104 2419961 12508072 12192282 2022-07-25T07:27:11Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|98|{{sm|HESTER AT HER NEEDLE.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>any companion but one only child. Therefore, first allowing her to pass, they pursued her at a distance with shrill cries, and the utterance of a word that had no distinct purport to their own minds, but was none the less terrible to her, as proceeding from lips that babbled it unconsciously. It seemed to argue so wide a diffusion of her shame, that all nature knew of it; it could have caused her no deeper pang, had the leaves of the trees whispered the dark story among themselves,—had the summer breeze murmured about it—had the wintry blast shrieked it aloud! Another peculiar torture was felt in the gaze of a new eye. When strangers looked curiously at the scarlet letter,—and none ever failed to do so,—they branded it afresh into Hester's soul; so that, oftentimes, she could scarcely refrain, yet always did refrain, from covering the symbol with her hand. But then, again, an accustomed eye had likewise its own anguish to inflict. Its cool stare of familiarity was intolerable. From first to last, in short, Hester Prynne had always this dreadful agony in feeling a human eye upon the token; the spot never grew callous; it seemed, on the contrary, to grow more sensitive with daily torture. But sometimes, once in many days, or perchance in many months, she felt an eye—a human eye—upon the ignominious brand, that seemed to give a momentary relief, as if half of her agony were shared. The next instant, back it all rushed again, with still a deeper throb of pain; for, in that brief interval, she had sinned anew. Had Hester sinned alone?

Walking to and fro, with those lonely footsteps, in the little world with which she was outwardly connected, it now and then appeared to Hester,—if altogether fancy, it was nevertheless too potent to be resisted,—she felt or fancied, then, that the scarlet letter had endowed her with a new sense. She shuddered to believe, yet could not help believing, that it gave her a sympathetic knowledge of the hidden sin in other hearts. She was terror-stricken by the revelations that were thus made. What were they? Could they be other than the insidious whispers of the bad angel, who would fain have persuaded the struggling woman, as yet only half his victim, that the outward guise of purity was but a lie, and that, if truth were everywhere to be shown, a scarlet letter would blaze forth on many a bosom besides Hester Prynne's? Or, must she receive those intimations—so obscure, yet so distinct—as truth? In all her miserable experience, there was nothing else so awful and so loathsome as this sense. It perplexed, as well as shocked her, by the irreverent inopportuneness of the occasions that brought it into vivid action. Sometimes the red infamy upon her breast would give a sympathetic throb, as she passed near a venerable minister or magistrate, the model of piety and justice, to whom that age of antique reverence looked up, as to a mortal man in fellowship with angels. "What evil thing is at hand?" would Hester say to herself. Lifting her reluctant eyes, there would be nothing human within the scope of view, save the form of this earthly saint! Again, a mystic sisterhood would contumaciously assert itself, as she met the sanctified frown of some matron, who, according to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 05i5dav6houj8ibhdylqgx1l2nrmhw3 Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/127 104 2420064 12508210 12192770 2022-07-25T10:25:17Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|115|{{sm|THE GOVERNOR'S HALL.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>be one of the most busy. It may appear singular, and, indeed, not a little ludicrous, that an affair of this kind, which, in later days, would have been referred to no higher jurisdiction than that of the selectmen of the town, should then have been a question publicly discussed, and on which statesmen of eminence took sides. At that epoch of pristine simplicity, however, matters of even slighter public interest, and of far less intrinsic weight, than the welfare of Hester and her child, were strangely mixed up with the deliberations of legislators and acts of state. The period was hardly, if at all, earlier than that of our story, when a dispute concerning the right of property in a pig, not only caused a fierce and bitter contest in the legislative body of the colony, but resulted in an important modification of the framework itself of the legislature. Full of concern, therefore,—but so conscious of her own right that it seemed scarcely an unequal match between the public, on the one side, and a lonely woman, backed by the sympathies of nature, on the other,—Hester Prynne set forth from her solitary cottage. Little Pearl, of course, was her companion. She was now of an age to run lightly along by her mother's side, and, constantly in motion, from morn till sunset, could have accomplished a much longer journey than that before her. Often, nevertheless, more from caprice than necessity, she demanded to be taken up in arms; but was soon as imperious to be set down again, and frisked onward before Hester on the grassy pathway, with many a harmless trip and tumble.

On the table—in token that the sentiment of old English hospitality had not been left behind—stood a large pewter tankard, at the bottom of which, had Hester or Pearl peeped into it, they might have seen the frothy remnant of a recent draught of ale. On the wall hung a row of portraits, representing the forefathers of the Bellingham lineage, some with armor on their breasts, and others with stately ruffs and robes of peace. All were characterized by the sternness and severity which old portraits so invariably put on; as if they were the ghosts, rather than the pictures, of departed worthies, and were gazing with harsh and intolerant criticism at the pursuits and enjoyments of living men. At about the centre of the oaken panels, that lined the hall, was suspended a suit of mail, not, like the pictures, an ancestral relic, but of the most modern date; for it had been manufactured by a skilful armorer in London, the same year in which Governor Bellingham came over to New England. There was a steel head-piece, a cuirass, a gorget, and greaves, with a pair of gauntlets and a sword hanging beneath; all, and especially the helmet and breastplate, so highly burnished as to glow with white radiance, and scatter an illumination everywhere about upon the floor.

Behind the Governor and Mr. Wilson came two other guests; one, the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, whom the reader may remember, as having taken a brief and reluctant part in the scene of Hester Prynne's disgrace; and, in close companionship with him, old Roger Chillingworth, a person of great skill in physic, who, for two or three years past, had been settled in the town. It was understood that this learned man was the physician as well as friend of the young minister, whose health had severely suffered, of late, by his too unreserved self-sacrifice to the labors and duties of the pastoral relation. The Governor, in advance of his visitors, ascended one or two steps, and, throwing open the leaves of the great hall window, found himself close to little Pearl. The shadow of the curtain fell on Hester Prynne, and partially concealed her. "What have we here?" said Governor Bellingham, looking with surprise at the scarlet little figure before him. "I profess, I have never seen the like, since my days of vanity, in old King James' time, when I was wont to esteem it a high favor to be admitted to a court mask!

But how gat such a guest into my hall?" "Ay, indeed!" cried good old Mr. Wilson. "What little bird of scarlet plumage may this be? Methinks I have seen just such figures, when the sun has been shining through a richly painted window, and tracing out the golden and crimson images across the floor. But that was in the old land. Prithee, young one, who art thou, and what has ailed thy mother to bedizen thee in this strange fashion? Art thou a Christian child,—ha? Dost know thy catechism? Or art thou one of those naughty elfs or fairies, whom we thought to have left behind us, with other relics of Papistry, in merry old England?" "I am mother's child," answered the scarlet vision, "and my name is Pearl!" "Pearl?—Ruby, rather!—or Coral!—or Red Rose, at the very least, judging from thy hue!" responded the old minister, putting forth his hand in a vain attempt to pat little Pearl on the cheek. "But where is this mother of thine? Ah! I see," he added; and, turning to Governor Bellingham, whispered, "This is the selfsame child of whom we have held speech together; and behold here the unhappy woman, Hester Prynne, her mother!" "Sayest thou so?" cried the Governor. "Nay, we might have judged that such a child's mother must needs be a scarlet woman, and a worthy type of her of Babylon! But she comes at a good time; and we will look into this matter forthwith."

God gave her the child, and gave her, too, an instinctive knowledge of its nature and requirements,—both seemingly so peculiar,—which no other mortal being can possess. And, moreover, is there not a quality of awful sacredness in the relation between this mother and this child?" "Ay!—how is that, good Master Dimmesdale?" interrupted the Governor. "Make that plain, I pray you!" "It must be even so," resumed the minister. "For, if we deem it otherwise, do we not thereby say that the Heavenly Father, the Creator of all flesh, hath lightly recognized a deed of sin, and made of no account the distinction between unhallowed lust and holy love?

In answer to this query, a rumor gained ground,—and, however absurd, was entertained by some very sensible people,<includeonly>-</includeonly><noinclude></noinclude> 1n0cyt00f36a1omec3vizz1hwetg3ie Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/151 104 2420089 12508218 12194894 2022-07-25T10:27:33Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|139|{{sm|THE LEECH.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>—that Heaven had wrought an absolute miracle, by transporting an eminent Doctor of Physic, from a German university, bodily through the air, and setting him down at the door of Mr. Dimmesdale's study! Individuals of wiser faith, indeed, who knew that Heaven promotes its purposes without aiming at the stage-effect of what is called miraculous interposition, were inclined to see a providential hand in Roger Chillingworth's so opportune arrival. This idea was countenanced by the strong interest which the physician ever manifested in the young clergyman; he attached himself to him as a parishioner, and sought to win a friendly regard and confidence from his naturally reserved sensibility. He expressed great alarm at his pastor's state of health, but was anxious to attempt the cure, and, if early undertaken, seemed not despondent of a favorable result. The elders, the deacons, the motherly dames, and the young and fair maidens, of Mr. Dimmesdale's flock, were alike importunate that he should make trial of the physician's frankly offered skill. Mr. Dimmesdale gently repelled their entreaties. "I need no medicine," said he. But how could the young minister say so, when, with every successive Sabbath, his cheek was paler and thinner, and his voice more tremulous than before,—when it had now become a constant habit, rather than a casual gesture, to press his hand over his heart? Was he weary of his labors? Did he wish to die? These questions were solemnly propounded to Mr. Dimmesdale by the elder ministers of Boston and the deacons of his church, who, to use their own phrase, "dealt with him"<noinclude></noinclude> do9gnsz8409ak6ar4rz9k3gvbd2syfp Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/152 104 2420090 12508213 12194901 2022-07-25T10:26:33Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|140|{{sm|THE LEECH.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>on the sin of rejecting the aid which Providence so manifestly held out. He listened in silence, and finally promised to confer with the physician. "Were it God's will," said the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale, when, in fulfilment of this pledge, he requested old Roger Chillingworth's professional advice, "I could be well content, that my labors, and my sorrows, and my sins, and my pains, should shortly end with me, and what is earthly of them be buried in my grave, and the spiritual go with me to my eternal state, rather than that you should put your skill to the proof in my behalf." "Ah," replied Roger Chillingworth, with that quietness which, whether imposed or natural, marked all his deportment, "it is thus that a young clergyman is apt to speak. Youthful men, not having taken a deep root, give up their hold of life so easily! And saintly men, who walk with God on earth, would fain be away, to walk with him on the golden pavements of the New Jerusalem." "Nay," rejoined the young minister, putting his hand to his heart, with a flush of pain flitting over his brow, "were I worthier to walk there, I could be better content to toil here." "Good men ever interpret themselves too meanly," said the physician. In this manner, the mysterious old Roger Chillingworth became the medical adviser of the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale. As not only the disease interested the physician, but he was strongly moved to look into the character and qualities of the patient, these two men, so different in age, came gradually to spend much time<noinclude></noinclude> shw41846kvg5tr44jbv7kyp5lu52km2 Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/157 104 2420095 12508215 12195796 2022-07-25T10:26:57Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|145|{{sm|THE LEECH.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>up his library, rich with parchment-bound folios of the Fathers, and the lore of Rabbis, and monkish erudition, of which the Protestant divines, even while they vilified and decried that class of writers, were yet constrained often to avail themselves. On the other side of the house, old Roger Chillingworth arranged his study and laboratory; not such as a modern man of science would reckon even tolerably complete, but provided with a distilling apparatus, and the means of compounding drugs and chemicals, which the practised alchemist knew well how to turn to purpose. With such commodiousness of situation, these two learned persons sat themselves down, each in his own domain, yet familiarly passing from one apartment to the other, and bestowing a mutual and not incurious inspection into one another's business. And the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale's best discerning friends, as we have intimated, very reasonably imagined that the hand of Providence had done all this, for the purpose—besought in so many public, and domestic, and secret prayers—of restoring the young minister to health. But—it must now be said—another portion of the community had latterly begun to take its own view of the relation betwixt Mr. Dimmesdale and the mysterious old physician. When an uninstructed multitude attempts to see with its eyes, it is exceedingly apt to be deceived. When, however, it forms its judgment, as it usually does, on the intuitions of its great and warm heart, the conclusions thus attained are often so profound and so unerring, as to possess the character of truths supernaturally revealed.

There was an aged handicraftsman, it is true, who had been a citizen of London at the period of Sir [[Author:Thomas Overbury|Thomas Overbury]]'s murder, now some thirty years agone; he testified to having seen the physician, under some other name, which the narrator of the story had now forgotten, in company with Doctor [[w:Simon Forman|Forman]], the famous old conjurer, who was implicated in the affair of Overbury. Two or three individuals hinted, that the man of skill, during his Indian captivity, had enlarged his medical attainments by joining in the incantations of the savage priests; who were universally acknowledged to be powerful enchanters, often performing seemingly miraculous cures by their skill in the black art. A large number—and many of these were persons of such sober sense and practical observation that their opinions would have been valuable, in other matters—affirmed that Roger Chillingworth's aspect had undergone a remarkable change while he had dwelt in town, and especially since his abode with Mr. Dimmesdale. At first, his expression had been calm, meditative, scholar-like. Now, there was something ugly and evil in his face, which they had not previously noticed, and which grew still the more obvious to sight, the oftener they looked upon him. According to the vulgar idea, the fire in his laboratory had been brought from the lower regions, and was fed with infernal fuel; and so, as might be expected, his visage was getting sooty with the smoke. To sum up the matter, it grew to be a widely diffused opinion, that the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, like many other personages of especial sanctity, in all ages<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7fvs8ydthau49xx5isfjz9az0vdpc3b Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/160 104 2420098 12508148 12191107 2022-07-25T09:30:55Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rh|148|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}|}}</noinclude>{{c|{{x-larger|X.}} THE LEECH AND HIS PATIENT.}} {{sc|Old}} Roger Chillingworth, throughout life, had been calm in temperament, kindly, though not of warm affections, but ever, and in all his relations with the world, a pure and upright man. He had begun an investigation, as he imagined, with the severe and equal integrity of a judge, desirous only of truth, even as if the question involved no more than the air-drawn lines and figures of a geometrical problem, instead of human passions, and wrongs inflicted on himself. But, as he proceeded, a terrible fascination, a kind of fierce, though still calm, necessity seized the old man within its gripe, and never set him free again, until he had done all its bidding. He now dug into the poor clergyman's heart, like a miner searching for gold; or, rather, like a sexton delving into a grave, possibly in quest of a jewel that had been buried on the dead man's bosom, but likely to find nothing save mortality and corruption. Alas for his own soul, if these were what he sought! Sometimes, a light glimmered out of the physician's eyes, burning blue and ominous, like the reflection of a furnace, or, let us say, like one of those gleams of ghastly fire that darted from Bunyan's awful door-way in the hill-side, and quivered on the pilgrim's face. The soil where this dark miner was working had perchance shown indications that encouraged him.

"That, good Sir, is but a fantasy of yours," replied the minister. "There can be, if I forebode aright, no power, short of the Divine mercy, to disclose, whether by uttered words, or by type or emblem, the secrets that may be buried with a human heart. The heart, making itself guilty of such secrets, must perforce hold them, until the day when all hidden things shall be revealed. Nor have I so read or interpreted Holy Writ, as to understand that the disclosure of human thoughts and deeds, then to be made, is intended as a part of the retribution. That, surely, were a shallow view of it. No; these revelations, unless I greatly err, are meant merely to promote the intellectual satisfaction of all intelligent beings, who will stand waiting, on that day, to see the dark problem of this life made plain. A knowledge of men's hearts will be needful to the completest solution of that problem. And I conceive, moreover, that the hearts holding such miserable secrets as you speak of will yield them up, at that last day, not with reluctance, but with a joy unutterable." "Then why not reveal them here?" asked Roger Chillingworth, glancing quietly aside at the minister. "Why should not the guilty ones sooner avail themselves of this unutterable solace?" "They mostly do," said the clergyman, griping hard at his breast, as if afflicted with an importunate throb of pain.

Looking daily at you, my good Sir, and watching the tokens of your aspect, now for months gone by, I should deem you a man sore sick, it may be, yet not so sick but that an instructed and watchful physician might well hope to cure you. But—I know not what to say—the disease is what I seem to know, yet know it not." "You speak in riddles, learned Sir," said the pale minister, glancing aside out of the window. "Then, to speak more plainly," continued the physician, "and I crave pardon, Sir,—should it seem to require pardon,—for this needful plainness of my speech. Let me ask,—as your friend,—as one having charge, under Providence, of your life and physical well-being,—hath all the operation of this disorder been fairly laid open and recounted to me?" "How can you question it?" asked the minister. "Surely, it were child's play, to call in a physician, and then hide the sore!" "You would tell me, then, that I know all?" said Roger Chillingworth, deliberately, and fixing an eye, bright with intense and concentrated intelligence, on the minister's face. "Be it so!

Your pardon, once again, good Sir, if my speech give the shadow of offence. You, Sir, of all men whom I have known, are he whose body is the closest conjoined, and imbued, and identified, so to speak, with the spirit whereof it is the instrument." "Then I need ask no further," said the clergyman, somewhat hastily rising from his chair. "You deal not, I take it, in medicine for the soul!" "Thus, a sickness," continued Roger Chillingworth, going on, in an unaltered tone, without heeding the interruption,—but standing up, and confronting the emaciated and white-cheeked minister, with his low, dark, and misshapen figure,—"a sickness, a sore place, if we may so call it, in your spirit, hath immediately its appropriate manifestation in your bodily frame. Would you, therefore, that your physician heal the bodily evil? How may this be, unless you first lay open to him the wound or trouble in your soul?" "No!—not to thee!—not to an earthly physician!" cried Mr. Dimmesdale, passionately, and turning his eyes, full and bright, and with a kind of fierceness, on old Roger Chillingworth. "Not to thee! But, if it be the soul's disease, then do I commit myself to the one Physician of the soul! He, if it stand with his good pleasure, can cure; or he can kill! Let him do with me as, in his justice and wisdom, he shall see good. But who art thou, that meddlest in this matter?—that dares thrust himself between the sufferer and his God?" With a frantic gesture, he rushed out of the room. "It is as well to have made this step," said Roger Chillingworth to himself, looking after the minister, with<noinclude></noinclude> pmdkzml8dufcqw16sica2in7kfqk5ts Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/171 104 2420110 12508285 12197107 2022-07-25T11:26:47Z Ostrea 1865114 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Ostrea" />{{rvh|159|{{sm|THE LEECH AND HIS PATIENT.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>body! Were it only for the art's sake, I must search this matter to the bottom!" It came to pass, not long after the scene above recorded, that the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale, at noonday, and entirely unawares, fell into a deep, deep slumber, sitting in his chair, with a large black-letter volume open before him on the table. It must have been a work of vast ability in the somniferous school of literature. The profound depth of the minister's repose was the more remarkable, inasmuch as he was one of those persons whose sleep, ordinarily, is as light, as fitful, and as easily scared away, as a small bird hopping on a twig. To such an unwonted remoteness, however, had his spirit now withdrawn into itself, that he stirred not in his chair, when old Roger Chillingworth, without any extraordinary precaution, came into the room. The physician advanced directly in front of his patient, laid his hand upon his bosom, and thrust aside the vestment, that, hitherto, had always covered it even from the professional eye. Then, indeed, Mr. Dimmesdale shuddered, and slightly stirred. After a brief pause, the physician turned away. But, with what a wild look of wonder, joy, and horror! With what a ghastly rapture, as it were, too mighty to be expressed only by the eye and features, and therefore bursting forth through the whole ugliness of his figure, and making itself even riotously manifest by the extravagant gestures with which he threw up his arms towards the ceiling, and stamped his foot upon the floor!

The intellect of Roger Chillingworth had now a sufficiently plain path before it. It was not, indeed, precisely that which he had laid out for himself to tread. Calm, gentle, passionless, as he appeared, there was yet, we fear, a quiet depth of malice, hitherto latent, but active now, in this unfortunate old man, which led him to imagine a more intimate revenge than any mortal had ever wreaked upon an enemy. To make himself the one trusted friend, to whom should be confided all the fear, the remorse, the agony, the ineffectual repentance, the backward rush of sinful thoughts, expelled in vain! All that guilty sorrow, hidden from the world, whose great heart would have pitied and forgiven, to be revealed to him, the Pitiless, to him, the Unforgiving! All that dark treasure to be lavished on the very man, to whom nothing else could so adequately pay the debt of vengeance! The clergyman's shy and sensitive reserve had balked this scheme. Roger Chillingworth, however, was inclined to be hardly, if at all, less satisfied with the aspect of affairs, which Providence—using the avenger and his victim for its own purposes, and, perchance, pardoning, where it seemed most to punish—had substituted<noinclude></noinclude> tai94wt2hejbcq6qd0a7sz775j7hclu Page:Scarlet Letter (1850) 2ed.djvu/186 104 2420127 12508257 12199464 2022-07-25T10:52:49Z Ostrea 1865114 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Einstein95" />{{rvh|174|{{sm|THE MINISTER'S VIGIL.}}|{{sm|THE SCARLET LETTER.}}}}</noinclude>see the triumphant pilgrim pass within its gates,—now, in short, good Father Wilson was moving homeward, aiding his footsteps with a lighted lantern! The glimmer of this luminary suggested the above conceits to Mr. Dimmesdale, who smiled,—nay, almost laughed at them,—and then wondered if he were going mad. As the Reverend Mr. Wilson passed beside the scaffold, closely muffling his Geneva cloak about him with one arm, and holding the lantern before his breast with the other, the minister could hardly restrain himself from speaking. "A good evening to you, venerable Father Wilson! Come up hither, I pray you, and pass a pleasant hour with me!" Good heavens! Had Mr. Dimmesdale actually spoken? For one instant, he believed that these words had passed his lips. But they were uttered only within his imagination. The venerable Father Wilson continued to step slowly onward, looking carefully at the muddy pathway before his feet, and never once turning his head towards the guilty platform. When the light of the glimmering lantern had faded quite away, the minister discovered, by the faintness which came over him, that the last few moments had been a crisis of terrible anxiety; although his mind had made an involuntary effort to relieve itself by a kind of lurid playfulness. Shortly afterwards, the like grisly sense of the humorous again stole in among the solemn phantoms of his thought. He felt his limbs growing stiff with the unaccustomed chilliness of the night, and doubted whether he should be able to descend the steps of the scaffold. Morning would break, and find him there.

But he clasped both his hands over his breast, and cast his eyes towards the zenith. Nothing was more common, in those days, than to interpret all meteoric appearances, and other natural phenomena, that occurred with less regularity than the rise and set of sun and moon, as so many revelations from a supernatural source. Thus, a blazing spear, a sword of flame, a bow, or a sheaf of arrows, seen in the midnight sky, prefigured Indian warfare. Pestilence was known to have been foreboded by a shower of crimson light. We doubt whether any marked event, for good or evil, ever befell New England, from its settlement down to Revolutionary times, of which the inhabitants had not been previously warned by some spectacle of this nature. Not seldom, it had been seen by multitudes. Oftener, however, its credibility rested on the faith of some lonely eye-witness, who beheld the wonder through the colored, magnifying, and distorting medium of his imagination, and shaped it more distinctly in his after-thought. It was, indeed, a majestic idea, that the destiny of nations should be revealed, in these awful hieroglyphics, on the cope of heaven. A scroll so wide might not be deemed too expansive for Providence to write a people's doom upon. The belief was a favorite one with our forefathers, as betokening that their infant commonwealth was under a celestial guardianship of peculiar intimacy and strictness. But what shall we say, when an individual discovers a revelation, addressed to himself alone, on the same vast sheet of record!

He entered the accustomed room, and looked around him on its books, its windows, its fireplace, and the tapestried comfort of the walls, with the same perception of strangeness that had haunted him throughout his walk from the forest-dell into the town, and thitherward. Here he had studied and written; here, gone through fast and vigil, and come forth half alive; here, striven to pray; here, borne a hundred thousand agonies! There was the Bible, in its rich old Hebrew, with Moses and the Prophets speaking to him, and God's voice through all! There, on the table, with the inky pen beside it, was an unfinished sermon, with a sentence broken in the midst, where his thoughts had ceased to gush out upon the page, two days before. He knew that it was himself, the thin and white-cheeked minister, who had done and suffered these things, and written thus far into the Election Sermon! But he seemed to stand apart, and eye this former self with scornful, pitying, but half-envious curiosity. That self was gone. Another man had returned out of the forest; a wiser one; with a knowledge of hidden mysteries which the simplicity of the former never could have reached. A bitter kind of knowledge that!

"Sir, the son of the zemindar of Vaidyabati has been throwing bricks at us!" "Sir, he has thrown away my basket!" "He has been pushing me about!" "He has grossly insulted me!" "He has broken my pot of ''ghee''!" Beni Babu, being very tender-hearted, gave each of the men a present, and dismissed them; then he fell to musing on the kind of training this boy must have been given to behave in such a fashion. "A fine bringing up the lad must have had," he said to himself, "in the short space of three hours he has thrown the whole village into a state of panic: it will be a great relief when he goes." Presently some of the oldest and most respected of the inhabitants of the place came to him and said: "Beni Babu, who is this boy? We were taking our usual nap after our midday meal, when we were aroused by this clamour: it is most unpleasant to have our rest broken in upon in this way." Beni Babu replied: "Please say no more; I have had a very heavy burden imposed upon me: one of my relatives, a zemindar, a man rather lacking in common sense if possessed of great wealth, has sent his son to me to put to school for him; and meanwhile I am being worn to a mere shadow with the annoyance. If I had to keep a boy like this with me for three days, my house would become a ruin for doves to come and roost in." As this conversation was proceeding, several boys approached, Matilall in their rear, all singing at the top of their voices the refrain— {{block center|"To Shambhu's son all honour pay,<br> "Shambu, the lord of night and day."}} "Ah!" said Beni Babu, "here he comes: keep quiet, perhaps he may take it into his head to beat us: I shall not breathe freely till I have got rid of the monkey."

Use the template <nowiki>{{" '}}</nowiki>, or it's cognate <nowiki>{{' "}}</nowiki>. They add a [[w:thin space]] between the punctuation marks, so that they don't run together. (actually, it cheats and uses CSS, now that I look at it) Technically, in proper typography, there should be thinspaces or hairspaces many more places.... like "left&thinsp;&mdash;&thinsp;right", not "left&mdash;right", but people either don't know or don't bother. This is also why you should use <nowiki>{{...}}</nowiki>, or the ellipsis character …, instead of ". . ." or "...".

I have no coding experience and do not even know how to access the code behind 'templates'. I only used your IDUB link template as a result of guessing that it might be there, something that's occasionally worked before with other compendia. My suggestion, if you haven't already considered doing so, would be to copy the structure used for other multi-volume encylopedias (e.g.[[Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition]]), 23 vols. This should enable you to set up the hierarchy of pages and produce equivalent templates, since the 'EB9 article link' (and the EB1911 equivalent) achieve what you are trying to (i.e. link automatically to the correct volume). Good luck in your efforts.

[[User:Klarm768|Klarm768]] ([[User talk:Klarm768|talk]]) 09:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC) ****Hi there. I've been doing some transcriptions of Swinburne's work and modifying his 'author page'. While doing so I found a reference to the IDUB article on page 5 of ''The Bibliography of Swinburne: A bibliographical list arranged in chronological order of the published writings in verse and prose of Algernon Charles Swinburne (1857-1887)'' (1887), by George Redway. It is also mentioned several times in Volume 2 of the much more comprehensive two-volume bibliography by Thomas J. Wise (1920). The date given for the work is 1857 (the version of IDUB being transcribed is 1876). Both bibliographies are on 'Internet Archive'. Swinburne also wrote an article on Congreve for the 9th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica; both bibliographies are at pains to point out that the two articles are completely different.

If there is no extant evidence that a person wrote works, then it is preferable that people are created over in the Portal: namespace, and tagged with [[:category:people in portal namespace]].

Pleese do feel free to create redirects for known variations of authors. One of the problems we had in early years was the creation of multiple author pages, so why we moved to liberally creating redirects for married names, etc. If end up having to disambiguate a shorter version, or an abbreviated version, then it isn't a problem to do that later. Also why we ended up with fully expanded author names, it is a lot less disruptive when we disambiguate. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 10:44, 26 October 2019 (UTC) == [[Index:The Poetical Works of Thomas Parnell (1833).djvu]] == Hi.

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:56, 8 December 2019 (UTC) == Removing line-breaks in EB1911 == Hi Chrisguise, thanks for edits in EB1911 ''e.g.'' [[Page:EB1911 - Volume 13.djvu/58]] but removing line-breaks make proofing harder. I've been converting from Gutenberg which maintains the line-breaks and having them removed makes comparison more difficult. Are you able to keep the line-breaks in future edits? Thanks [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 19:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC) : Hello, as part of proofing any page, the first thing I do is run the 'clean up OCR' tool, which takes the line breaks out automatically. Could you explain a bit more about what you are doing? Are you comparing with Gutenberg to move the page on from proof-read to validated or are you checking my proof-reading? In my experience the transcriptions on Gutenberg are not without errors - as surely are my own efforts - even though I understand that they use multiple keying. Regards. [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:41, 8 December 2019 (UTC) :: Hi again, I forgot to check back earlier on this discussion. By leaving the line-breaks in-place it make it easier to compare to text from Gutenberg. I usually paste in converted text from Gutenberg and then use the "Show changes" button to do a comparison. That way, occasional errors from Gutenberg can be found and corrected (e.g. Gutenberg sometimes has typos and italics missing). Removing line-breaks makes makes manual proofing more difficult (as the lines don't match up) and it's very difficult to see what changes have been made when using "Compare selected revisions" in Revision history. Also, running your 'clean up OCR' tool has replaced agreed EB1911 standards for curly quotes and apostrophes (“” ’) with straight double and single quotes (" '). An example is your recent edits to [Page:EB1911 - Volume 07.djvu/791]. You also removed spacing in the Page Header which centers the text. Regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 21:59, 6 October 2020 (UTC) :::Hello, Following on from your initial communication on this topic, I have tried to confine myself to either only editing pages already at 'proof-read' status, wherein I assumed it would be OK to remove all the page breaks before changing the status to 'validated', or if I edit 'not proof read' pages I actually read them, rather than compare them to something else that might not be correct. Having done so, I figured removing the page breaks wouldn't matter. :::I also change the sometimes various forms used in the page header (or add them if missing) with the EB1911 page header template. If things don't line up then presumably the template needs to be amended. :::Regarding the curly quotes, I'd been following the generic guidance in the Help, which says to use straight quotes. I don't know if you've come across it but there is a useful tool to change all straight quotes to curly ones. Details are associated with the 'Once a Week' transcription project (which also insists on using the curly quotes). It seems to work pretty well. The style guide is at Wikisource:Wikiproject Once a Week and the person who maintains it sent me the details (see User_talk:Chrisguise#curly_quotes_in_%22once_a_week%22_&_other_matters.). Regard, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 23:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC) ::::Curly quotes are the EB1911 standard, see [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Style Manual#Quoted_text|EB1911 Style Manual]]. Curly apostrophes ’ should also be used in EB1911 to distinguish them from the reversed comma ʽ (sometimes called rough breathing diacritic) in Arabic words in EB1911. Myself and other EB1911 editors prefer leaving the line-breaks in-place (that’s how they were originally scanned) because it makes manually proofing faster and it’s easier to see what changes have been made in an edit (as stated before). Regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 23:49, 6 October 2020 (UTC) :I found a problem with the 'clean up OCR' tool you've been using, it converts curly quotes if they are literal “ ” to straight " " but not if html code e.g. (& ldquo;)<!-- hairspace added after "&" so html code displays--> is been used. This produces inconsistent results where the page has some curly and some straight quotes. e.g. [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:EB1911_-_Volume_16.djvu/325&oldid=10393386]. Please do not use the 'clean up OCR' tool on EB1911 pages. If you are going to mark an EB1911 page as Validated, please read the EB1911 Style manual first (particularly "Quoted text" & "Ranges" sections). As well as converting the quotes back to curly ones, I used ndash (–) for year ranges (and removed a spurious quote mark after 'on the').

Authors with no surname simply have the whole description in the first name field, we don't push the descriptive component into the lastname field. Also to note that where we have sort issues due to surname components like "de", we have a "defaultsort" parameter within [[tl|author}} that we can utilise to set the sorting. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 01:04, 8 December 2019 (UTC) == [[The Love of Books: the Philobiblon of Richard de Bury]] == I have moved the subpages of this work under the title of the root page, and I have add the table of contents. It is just confusing to readers to start in one title and end up somewhere else with no clarity of reason. Also to generate digital versions of the first and subpages, we need to have the ToC so that the tool knows that the pages below it, and their links. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 13:35, 8 December 2019 (UTC) : Hi, can you explain that a bit more - I'm not clear on exactly what I did incorrectly, and wish to avoid doing it again. Regards [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:44, 8 December 2019 (UTC) == Aeschylus == The primary place to list editions of the Greek plays is the versions page for each play. I've retained a list of transations (for now) on the Author page, but '''only''' for the translations that we actually have. But eventually, that too may go, since there seems to be a trend now towards not listing the editions on the Authors pages at all. Note, Medwin's ''Prometheus Bound'' was already listed, and I just added the ''Agamemnon''. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 05:37, 20 December 2019 (UTC) == Index pages == Best practice for Index pages: When the value is not a code such as "roman", or a numeric value for a page number, but instead is non-numeric text to be displayed in place of the usual number, then the value ought to be enclosed in quotes. Some character values will still work if the quotes are omitted, but best practice is to use the quotes for any text, including "Adv", "-", or such. The size of dash for blank pages, images, and the like is purely an aesthetic choice on the part of the initial proofreader. Some editors prefer "-" for blank pages as it minimizes the space taken up in display on the Index. Other editors will use the emdash to keep display size of all pages to roughly the same width, which can help with getting page numbers to line up in neat columns. But there's no reason to replace emdashes with hyphens if the initial editor made the choice to use emdashes. The value is there only on the index page is that page is not transcluded, and serves no real function except in the margin as a page number for transcluded pages (and which can then be linked to with a hashtag). There can be a reason to go the other way: to expand hyphens into emdashes, if there is content on that page, because a hyphen is small and harder to click on; but otherwise, it's purely up to the initial proofreader. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:34, 30 December 2019 (UTC) ==Memoirs== If you upload Volume II or III, let me know and I’ll stop by to proofread a bit.

Coleridge, Prothero) - Volume 5 == {{tlx|helpme}} I have transcribed some pages of the above, mostly the prefaces to the longer poems. The prefaces are peppered with lengthy footnotes, which are generally manageable as I am familiar with the standard footnote method, for which I use <nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki> and <nowiki>{{smallrefs}}</nowiki>, the footnote continued on one of more of the following pages <nowiki><ref name=xx>, <ref follow=xx></nowiki>, and a footnote within a footnote where the nested footnote is on the same page, for which I use <nowiki>{{#tag:ref|TOP LEVEL REFERENCE<ref group="I">NESTED REFERENCE.</ref> TOP LEVEL REFERENCE|group="O"}}{{smallrefs|group="O"}}{{smallrefs|group="I"}}</nowiki>. I may even have done examples (in another book) where the nested footnote is all on one page but the main footnote carries on over more than one. However, I am stuck at present because in the preface to ''Werner'' on pages [[Page:The Works of Lord Byron (ed. Coleridge, Prothero) - Volume 5.djvu/374|338]] and [[Page:The Works of Lord Byron (ed. Coleridge, Prothero) - Volume 5.djvu/375|339]] there is a footnote containing a footnote where both the footnote and the nested footnote continue onto the following page. How do I deal with this and still maintain footnote integrity during transclusion?

Did that do roughly what you were trying to accomplish?{{parabr}}I'm not familiar with this work or its notes conventions, so I don't know the significance of the two footnote groups, but you may also wish to consider simplifying when faced with overly complicated schemes: we're already changing things significantly when we move from footnotes in a paged medium to endnotes in a non-paged medium, as well as changing the sigils used as footnote markers, so complicated footnote schemes that are primarily ''formatting'' rather than significant ''meaning'' may be better to not try to replicate. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 10:25, 2 January 2020 (UTC) ::Thanks, I'll give it a go.

In reference to [[Special:Diff/9904025|this edit]], the {{tl|sp}} template was used to duplicate the letter spacing in the original used for emphasis. As an alternative to italics, spacing was sometimes increased for emphasis (perhaps because it didn't require using italic type <s>matrices</s> sorts, you just spaced out the normal ones). See [[w:Emphasis_(typography)#Letter-spacing]]. In my opinion, this is as much a part of the work as italics would have been.

The document was originally transcluded as one complete piece. Scrolling through it in that form highlighted variations in the way pages had been transcribed (e.g. poetry quotations, footnotes, etc.), so I went through page by page to try and straighten things out. One area of inconsistency related to the type of spacing you refer to, so I needed to decide one way or another whether to format them all, and I decided against. The main reason for doing this was that in most instances, if not all, it didn't seem to me to be for the purposes of emphasis, more as if text had been removed and the rest of the line spread out to make it the appropriate width. Regards, Chris[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 08:30, 2 February 2020 (UTC) :: As the person who put in more effort than I did, I defer to your choice. I would still disagree that the spacing was inserted like that for any reason of than emphasis. To me, it seems it appears only where emphasis would fit, not randomly throughout the text. I just though I'd mention it in case you hadn't realised letter-spacing was a typographical method used for {{sp|emphasis}}, as well as purely stylistic (e.g. as used on title pages).

Regards, Chris [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 14:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC) : By "line spacing wider than in the text," do you mean differing from the way it is printed in the old magazine? That magazine was {{sc|cramped}}, filling its pages almost edge-to-edge with small type, and with only a rule as separation between items. Paper was a major part of periodical expenses in those days—wood-pulp paper wasn’t yet in use. There is absolutely no requirement that the digital version of the texts has to be bound by the same restraints. To paraphrase something Billinghurst said, Wikisource is digitizing the words of the authors, not the typesetters’ peculiarities. : Most of the stylistic choices in the style guide were made by me, with some input from Encylopetey; I was revising a basis that was created some years ago by I’m not sure who, Mudbringer for one. I tried to imitate the magazine as much as possible while complying with standard Wikisource formatting and loosening up the tight spacing, and a few other changes to make things look better on the web: for instance, I inset margins for block-quotes whereas the original didn’t, only distinguishing them by smaller type. : Do you have any specific suggestions for improvements?

Each one then links to a sub-page which lists various translations. The Aeneis has a Dryden transcription (1697 edition) but this has no index page or images (hence needs migration), the Georgics page lists the Dryden, (I added it in June 2019 - not expecting to be doing the transcription a year later!) but there wasn't anything behind it, and the Dryden was not listed on the Eclogues page until I added it recently. :I have structured the contents to enable the relevant sections to be linked to the E, G and A pages.

The decision as to which option to use depends on the likelihood of incoming links. If it's a well-known alternate title, or "what links here" gives links from multiple other works, then the full redirect gets left. If it's a likely target on a work that's been here a while, then we'll use a soft direct, which will be deleted in a few months' time.

In my defence I would say the following. Firstly, in my experience, whether you use the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> option, the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> option or a mixture of the two makes no difference to how the pages appear when transcluded; it's more important that the <nowiki>{{center block/s}} and {{center block/e}}</nowiki> are used consistently, and text sizes, footnotes, etc follow a consistent pattern. Secondly, the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> method makes it more difficult to spot transcription errors in the punctuation at the end of lines. I find that in most poetry the OCR does a good job with the text but frequently gets the punctuation wrong (e.g. . or ,. ; or :, and with poor scans ? and !). Finally, I suppose I just try to make best use of the tools that are available to help, and find the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> method much quicker, in the absence of something to automatically put the line breaks it on every line. :I previously did some work on Volume 5, but only on the introductory pieces to some of the poems.

I realize that it is only useful at the proofing and even then, only when the toc is on the index page, but it is useful there and then. I read or had it explained to me that it was too complicated. Since then, I try to figure out a way for it to work in the Main. Shifting the numbers and then the process gets broken at the chapter part.... It is an unfixable problem in the world that doesn't depress me to think about! In this way, it is beautiful and rare and I have grown very fond of it.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with {{tl|djvu page link}} but it seems to me that it doesn't achieve anything when used in a table of contents (ToC). From a ToC the link needs to take you to the chapter content, not just to an individual page. Also, the links work on the page containing the ToC and on the Index page (if the ToC is shown there), but when the page containing the ToC is transcluded, the links are suppressed. The one place where I think {{tl|djvu page link}} is useful is when a book contains a list of illustrations, where a link to an individual page is appropriate.[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 00:56, 6 March 2021 (UTC) == Gentlemen Prefer Blondes == I noticed your edit [[Special:Diff/10990680/10991003]].

Just a little quibble over something that inhibits export readiness and accessibility: when you use ''px'' as a unit for something that contains text content, you are making an implicit assumption that everyone will have the same font size as you (by default in most browsers, this is 16px). This is not a safe assumption to make in the general case, as e-readers often have much larger font sizes and also visually-impaired users may have larger fonts too. This means that your ''px''-sized box becomes much too small for the text. However, if you use an equivalent ''em'' size, the box would scale in line with the system font size. For an actual example, you can see [[H:PXWIDTH]]. In general, the solution is simple: divide the ''px'' width you would use by 16 and use that number of ''em''s: e.g. 400px → 25em. This will look the same on a default browser, but will also work as the font size changes.

With Hamlet the printer has started by dividing into Acts and Scenes in Act I. but after Act I., Scene III. has abandoned marking the acts and scenes. There are some markings for Act II. too but after that there's nothing. I'm transcluding at the scene level, following the divisions used elsewhere, and which can be identified from the stage directions.

But keep in mind that, the way you're currently doing the FF that people trying to grab a download will not be able to do so. For the final work to be downloadable, ''all'' content must be listed on the work's principal page. That includes every play subpage, and every act/scene subpage.

Although there is a main page with a table of contents (i.e. [[Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)]]) it clearly isn't complete yet. The content of the 'front matter' sub page (see [[Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)/Front matter|Front matter]]) either needs including on the main page (e.g. the title page) or breaking into individual sections (e.g. the individual poems). An AuxTOC section then needs adding to the main page, rather than what's there at the moment. The 'front matter' sub-page also contains the ToC page from the work, which needs removing.

Those collections/reprints may someday get representation on Wikisource, so having a generic link there would prevent us from having to change the data on all the author pages later when a versions page is made.

I can't say I agree with you, because: :(1) If I click on a link for a work, I expect to be taken to a copy of that work, not to a page that might contain several versions of it and then have to choose among them. Access to other versions (whether there are actually other copies, or just 'might be one day' ones) can then be had via the 'other versions' link at the top of the work. :(2) If I put a link in a work to the origin of a quotation (such as those perennial favourites, Shakespeare, Paradise Lost and the Bible}, I don't link to a 'versions' page and then let the reader pick one for themselves and wade through the whole work to try and find the line(s) of interest. I link to a specific point in one version. :(3) If I'd named the transcription 'The Death Bed' or 'The Death Bed (Cuney)' instead of 'Fire!!/Flame from the Dark Tower/The Death Bed' then I might agree with you, since - in the unlikely event of further versions - that would require moving things about to create a disambiguation page. But I didn't. :(4) I spend too much time as it is doing stuff on this site without expending even more effort creating pages that probably won't ever get used.

If you prefer, I can transclude a single section ("Memoirs of the Plague") and cut sections 2 and 3 from the ToC (at least everything isn't then on the opening page for the work), or I can cut the ToC entirely and put everything on the front page (after transcluding, it should then be easier to search for issues/missing nops etc.).

Thanks for the work you're doing - hopefully I've not made too many errors. :I don't have a specific system for dealing with titles (poems or otherwise). I do split the title to follow the design intent if different parts of it are in different font sizes or formats. For poems, if (unsplit) the total length of the title is less than the length of the longest verse, I tend to leave it on one line. If (unsplit) it is longer than the verses of the poem, I think it sometimes makes the overall layout (when transcluded) look 'off-centre', so I split it, depending on how it looks to me. :I won't die in a ditch over this - if you want to change things to make them all consistent, then feel free. :Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:19, 21 May 2022 (UTC) ::Thank you for the explanation, it does make sense to me.

I had not been able to assign an Author-identity with confidence. My best guess had been Algernon Charles Swinburne. Can you confirm from what source you learned of Swinburne's contribution to IDUB? [[User:Klarm768|Klarm768]] ([[User talk:Klarm768|talk]]) 09:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC) ****Hi there. I've been doing some transcriptions of Swinburne's work and modifying his 'author page'. While doing so I found a reference to the IDUB article on page 5 of ''The Bibliography of Swinburne: A bibliographical list arranged in chronological order of the published writings in verse and prose of Algernon Charles Swinburne (1857-1887)'' (1887), by George Redway. It is also mentioned several times in Volume 2 of the much more comprehensive two-volume bibliography by Thomas J. Wise (1920). The date given for the work is 1857 (the version of IDUB being transcribed is 1876). Both bibliographies are on 'Internet Archive'. Swinburne also wrote an article on Congreve for the 9th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica; both bibliographies are at pains to point out that the two articles are completely different.

I've been converting from Gutenberg which maintains the line-breaks and having them removed makes comparison more difficult. Are you able to keep the line-breaks in future edits? Thanks [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 19:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC) : Hello, as part of proofing any page, the first thing I do is run the 'clean up OCR' tool, which takes the line breaks out automatically. Could you explain a bit more about what you are doing? Are you comparing with Gutenberg to move the page on from proof-read to validated or are you checking my proof-reading? In my experience the transcriptions on Gutenberg are not without errors - as surely are my own efforts - even though I understand that they use multiple keying. Regards. [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:41, 8 December 2019 (UTC) :: Hi again, I forgot to check back earlier on this discussion. By leaving the line-breaks in-place it make it easier to compare to text from Gutenberg. I usually paste in converted text from Gutenberg and then use the "Show changes" button to do a comparison. That way, occasional errors from Gutenberg can be found and corrected (e.g. Gutenberg sometimes has typos and italics missing). Removing line-breaks makes makes manual proofing more difficult (as the lines don't match up) and it's very difficult to see what changes have been made when using "Compare selected revisions" in Revision history. Also, running your 'clean up OCR' tool has replaced agreed EB1911 standards for curly quotes and apostrophes (“” ’) with straight double and single quotes (" '). An example is your recent edits to [Page:EB1911 - Volume 07.djvu/791]. You also removed spacing in the Page Header which centers the text. Regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 21:59, 6 October 2020 (UTC) :::Hello, Following on from your initial communication on this topic, I have tried to confine myself to either only editing pages already at 'proof-read' status, wherein I assumed it would be OK to remove all the page breaks before changing the status to 'validated', or if I edit 'not proof read' pages I actually read them, rather than compare them to something else that might not be correct. Having done so, I figured removing the page breaks wouldn't matter. :::I also change the sometimes various forms used in the page header (or add them if missing) with the EB1911 page header template. If things don't line up then presumably the template needs to be amended. :::Regarding the curly quotes, I'd been following the generic guidance in the Help, which says to use straight quotes. I don't know if you've come across it but there is a useful tool to change all straight quotes to curly ones. Details are associated with the 'Once a Week' transcription project (which also insists on using the curly quotes). It seems to work pretty well. The style guide is at Wikisource:Wikiproject Once a Week and the person who maintains it sent me the details (see User_talk:Chrisguise#curly_quotes_in_%22once_a_week%22_&_other_matters.). Regard, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 23:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC) ::::Curly quotes are the EB1911 standard, see [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Style Manual#Quoted_text|EB1911 Style Manual]]. Curly apostrophes ’ should also be used in EB1911 to distinguish them from the reversed comma ʽ (sometimes called rough breathing diacritic) in Arabic words in EB1911. Myself and other EB1911 editors prefer leaving the line-breaks in-place (that’s how they were originally scanned) because it makes manually proofing faster and it’s easier to see what changes have been made in an edit (as stated before). Regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 23:49, 6 October 2020 (UTC) :I found a problem with the 'clean up OCR' tool you've been using, it converts curly quotes if they are literal “ ” to straight " " but not if html code e.g. (& ldquo;)<!-- hairspace added after "&" so html code displays--> is been used. This produces inconsistent results where the page has some curly and some straight quotes. e.g. [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:EB1911_-_Volume_16.djvu/325&oldid=10393386]. Please do not use the 'clean up OCR' tool on EB1911 pages. If you are going to mark an EB1911 page as Validated, please read the EB1911 Style manual first (particularly "Quoted text" & "Ranges" sections). As well as converting the quotes back to curly ones, I used ndash (–) for year ranges (and removed a spurious quote mark after 'on the').

I've retained a list of transations (for now) on the Author page, but '''only''' for the translations that we actually have. But eventually, that too may go, since there seems to be a trend now towards not listing the editions on the Authors pages at all. Note, Medwin's ''Prometheus Bound'' was already listed, and I just added the ''Agamemnon''. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 05:37, 20 December 2019 (UTC) == Index pages == Best practice for Index pages: When the value is not a code such as "roman", or a numeric value for a page number, but instead is non-numeric text to be displayed in place of the usual number, then the value ought to be enclosed in quotes. Some character values will still work if the quotes are omitted, but best practice is to use the quotes for any text, including "Adv", "-", or such. The size of dash for blank pages, images, and the like is purely an aesthetic choice on the part of the initial proofreader. Some editors prefer "-" for blank pages as it minimizes the space taken up in display on the Index. Other editors will use the emdash to keep display size of all pages to roughly the same width, which can help with getting page numbers to line up in neat columns. But there's no reason to replace emdashes with hyphens if the initial editor made the choice to use emdashes. The value is there only on the index page is that page is not transcluded, and serves no real function except in the margin as a page number for transcluded pages (and which can then be linked to with a hashtag). There can be a reason to go the other way: to expand hyphens into emdashes, if there is content on that page, because a hyphen is small and harder to click on; but otherwise, it's purely up to the initial proofreader. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:34, 30 December 2019 (UTC) ==Memoirs== If you upload Volume II or III, let me know and I’ll stop by to proofread a bit.

I may even have done examples (in another book) where the nested footnote is all on one page but the main footnote carries on over more than one.

In reference to [[Special:Diff/9904025|this edit]], the {{tl|sp}} template was used to duplicate the letter spacing in the original used for emphasis. As an alternative to italics, spacing was sometimes increased for emphasis (perhaps because it didn't require using italic type <s>matrices</s> sorts, you just spaced out the normal ones). See [[w:Emphasis_(typography)#Letter-spacing]]. In my opinion, this is as much a part of the work as italics would have been.

One area of inconsistency related to the type of spacing you refer to, so I needed to decide one way or another whether to format them all, and I decided against.

In order to make the two parts of the poem line up with each other when inserting an image in the middle, as with [[Page:Once a Week Jun to Dec 1864.pdf/84|The Bride of an Hour]], it’s necessary to specify a width (the same one for each) for the "block center".

Regards, Chris [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 14:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC) : By "line spacing wider than in the text," do you mean differing from the way it is printed in the old magazine? That magazine was {{sc|cramped}}, filling its pages almost edge-to-edge with small type, and with only a rule as separation between items. Paper was a major part of periodical expenses in those days—wood-pulp paper wasn’t yet in use. There is absolutely no requirement that the digital version of the texts has to be bound by the same restraints. To paraphrase something Billinghurst said, Wikisource is digitizing the words of the authors, not the typesetters’ peculiarities. : Most of the stylistic choices in the style guide were made by me, with some input from Encylopetey; I was revising a basis that was created some years ago by I’m not sure who, Mudbringer for one. I tried to imitate the magazine as much as possible while complying with standard Wikisource formatting and loosening up the tight spacing, and a few other changes to make things look better on the web: for instance, I inset margins for block-quotes whereas the original didn’t, only distinguishing them by smaller type. : Do you have any specific suggestions for improvements?

In my defence I would say the following. Firstly, in my experience, whether you use the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> option, the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> option or a mixture of the two makes no difference to how the pages appear when transcluded; it's more important that the <nowiki>{{center block/s}} and {{center block/e}}</nowiki> are used consistently, and text sizes, footnotes, etc follow a consistent pattern. Secondly, the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> method makes it more difficult to spot transcription errors in the punctuation at the end of lines. I find that in most poetry the OCR does a good job with the text but frequently gets the punctuation wrong (e.g. . or ,. ; or :, and with poor scans ? and !). Finally, I suppose I just try to make best use of the tools that are available to help, and find the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> method much quicker, in the absence of something to automatically put the line breaks it on every line. :I previously did some work on Volume 5, but only on the introductory pieces to some of the poems.

Also, the links work on the page containing the ToC and on the Index page (if the ToC is shown there), but when the page containing the ToC is transcluded, the links are suppressed.

Just a little quibble over something that inhibits export readiness and accessibility: when you use ''px'' as a unit for something that contains text content, you are making an implicit assumption that everyone will have the same font size as you (by default in most browsers, this is 16px). This is not a safe assumption to make in the general case, as e-readers often have much larger font sizes and also visually-impaired users may have larger fonts too. This means that your ''px''-sized box becomes much too small for the text. However, if you use an equivalent ''em'' size, the box would scale in line with the system font size. For an actual example, you can see [[H:PXWIDTH]]. In general, the solution is simple: divide the ''px'' width you would use by 16 and use that number of ''em''s: e.g. 400px → 25em. This will look the same on a default browser, but will also work as the font size changes.

In general, please don't change scans out from under active works as it will require an admin to do the page shifts (this is a technical thing, because redirects have to be suppressed or it won't work), and until that's done, the rest of the book will be offset. It would be better to request the removal at [[WS:LAB]], then someone can do the fix ''and'' shift the pages at the same time. Also, if you mark a book as "needs fixing", please always explain why so someone can deal with it (e.g. "pages need shifting by 2 after page removal, starting at position 39, pp. 37-38 to be deleted" would do), otherwise it requires someone to guess what your issue is and that makes mistakes easy if the wrong end of a stick is grasped.

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC) :::I've just removed the original pages from the old file (with a command like <code>djvm -d bab.djvu 26</code>) and re-uploaded since the quality seems less blurry anyway (looks like you have a c44 compressor turned up pretty high - it's hard to compete with the IA Luratech compressor!).

I've corrected a few other works by changing the scan file and then manually moving the text from the effected pages, albeit on works that hadn't progressed so far as this one.

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:45, 30 December 2021 (UTC) ::The problem with copying the text between pages is that is makes a confusing mess of the contribution history for the page. Also, it makes a mess of the proofreading status because, for example, you won't be able to validate proofread text that you copied, and others can validate text that you copied, even if they proofread it originally. It's far better to just move the pages without redirects which preserved edit history and proofreading statuses. There are bots for this, so it only takes seconds to do. 09:56, 30 December 2021 (UTC) [[User:Inductiveload|Inductiveload]]—<span style="font-size:smaller">[[User talk:Inductiveload|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Inductiveload|contribs]]</span> 09:56, 30 December 2021 (UTC) :::Can I ask for your assistance with one of the Monthly Challenge works - [[Index:The future of Africa.djvu]].

Some of the First Folio editions are divided into scenes; some are not. And some of the scenes are numbered differently from other editions (or don't exist in other editions. It's one of the reasons why we divided the Yale Shakespeare by Acts, without separating out the scenes. And the FF has the added issue that you can't always divide the Acts into scenes because not all the plays are divided that way. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 20:25, 22 January 2022 (UTC) :Thanks. I've done a few of the comedies and histories and have followed whatever was printed (i.e. just division into Acts or into Acts and Scenes). With Hamlet the printer has started by dividing into Acts and Scenes in Act I. but after Act I., Scene III. has abandoned marking the acts and scenes. There are some markings for Act II. too but after that there's nothing. I'm transcluding at the scene level, following the divisions used elsewhere, and which can be identified from the stage directions. Otherwise it would be just one long screed.[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 08:41, 23 January 2022 (UTC) :: OK. But keep in mind that, the way you're currently doing the FF that people trying to grab a download will not be able to do so. For the final work to be downloadable, ''all'' content must be listed on the work's principal page. That includes every play subpage, and every act/scene subpage. If they aren't listed on the principal page for the FF in a table of contents, then the download won't grab them. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 00:47, 25 January 2022 (UTC) :::Hi. Although there is a main page with a table of contents (i.e. [[Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)]]) it clearly isn't complete yet. The content of the 'front matter' sub page (see [[Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)/Front matter|Front matter]]) either needs including on the main page (e.g. the title page) or breaking into individual sections (e.g. the individual poems). An AuxTOC section then needs adding to the main page, rather than what's there at the moment. The 'front matter' sub-page also contains the ToC page from the work, which needs removing. The way it's set up at the moment isn't my doing. [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 06:07, 25 January 2022 (UTC) == Specific linking in author pages to poems/short stories/etc. == Please prefer a link like this: <blockquote><nowiki>[[The Death Bed (Cuney)|The Death Bed]]</nowiki></blockquote> over something like <blockquote><nowiki>[[Fire!!/The Death Bed]]</nowiki></blockquote> I don't think that there's a hard rule for this on Wikisource, however the likelihood is relatively high that any number of the works in ''Fire!!'' might have appeared in other collections, or perhaps as individual reprints of themselves. Those collections/reprints may someday get representation on Wikisource, so having a generic link there would prevent us from having to change the data on all the author pages later when a versions page is made. So I at least would prefer it for the sake of the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) axiom. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 16:38, 6 February 2022 (UTC) :Hi there. I can't say I agree with you, because: :(1) If I click on a link for a work, I expect to be taken to a copy of that work, not to a page that might contain several versions of it and then have to choose among them. Access to other versions (whether there are actually other copies, or just 'might be one day' ones) can then be had via the 'other versions' link at the top of the work. :(2) If I put a link in a work to the origin of a quotation (such as those perennial favourites, Shakespeare, Paradise Lost and the Bible}, I don't link to a 'versions' page and then let the reader pick one for themselves and wade through the whole work to try and find the line(s) of interest. I link to a specific point in one version. :(3) If I'd named the transcription 'The Death Bed' or 'The Death Bed (Cuney)' instead of 'Fire!!/Flame from the Dark Tower/The Death Bed' then I might agree with you, since - in the unlikely event of further versions - that would require moving things about to create a disambiguation page. But I didn't. :(4) I spend too much time as it is doing stuff on this site without expending even more effort creating pages that probably won't ever get used. For an example of where this gets you, see the 'Folios' section of [[Hamlet (Shakespeare)]]. :Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 17:40, 6 February 2022 (UTC) == Sections in a Journal of the Plague Year == Hi, Just curious, when transcluding a Journal of the Plague Year, did you have pages in mind to put in each of the three sections in the auxiliary table of contents? I only ask because (a) I dislike transcluding works all on one page, and (b) having a look through all the pages, I can't seem to see any clearly identifiable sections. If you prefer, I can transclude a single section ("Memoirs of the Plague") and cut sections 2 and 3 from the ToC (at least everything isn't then on the opening page for the work), or I can cut the ToC entirely and put everything on the front page (after transcluding, it should then be easier to search for issues/missing nops etc.).

Hard redirects are preferred at Wikisource unless they are in the form of a disambiguation page.

[[User:BethNaught|BethNaught]] ([[User talk:BethNaught|talk]]) 12:52, 21 May 2022 (UTC) :Hi there. Thanks for the work you're doing - hopefully I've not made too many errors. :I don't have a specific system for dealing with titles (poems or otherwise). I do split the title to follow the design intent if different parts of it are in different font sizes or formats. For poems, if (unsplit) the total length of the title is less than the length of the longest verse, I tend to leave it on one line. If (unsplit) it is longer than the verses of the poem, I think it sometimes makes the overall layout (when transcluded) look 'off-centre', so I split it, depending on how it looks to me. :I won't die in a ditch over this - if you want to change things to make them all consistent, then feel free. :Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:19, 21 May 2022 (UTC) ::Thank you for the explanation, it does make sense to me.

In the ''Seven against Thebes'' of Æschylus, the brothers were slain ‘with the hammer-wrought Scythian steel.’ Into Italy the use of iron arrived earlier than into Greece, and the Ligurians in the north-west of the peninsula were supposed to be of Greek origin, because that even in historic times they employed bronze lance-heads. Among the northern inhabitants of Europe it was a much longer time before they became acquainted with iron. Tacitus informs us how rare it was among the Germans in his time ({{asc|A.D.}} 100), and Cæsar, when he set foot in Britain, found the island well peopled, with abundance of cattle, and instead of coins using bits of bronze or iron of various weights. In the interior of the land tin was found, and iron, but in small quantities, on the coast. The Britons had no knowledge of alloying copper with tin, consequently all the bronze they had in use was imported.<noinclude></noinclude> 1g7k5keklre15ucvncz4hv3kuzhnv7u Page:A book of folk-lore (1913).djvu/215 104 2515225 12506831 11654582 2022-07-24T17:17:36Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Maile66" />{{rh|212|A BOOK OF FOLK-LORE}}</noinclude>It would seem from this that as yet the Britons knew nothing of the making of steel, or using iron in any other way than as a currency. It was even worse in the north-east of Europe. The Esthonians, a Lettish–Prussian people, for hundreds of years of our present reckoning used iron as a rarity, and as weapons employed wooden clubs. The Finns at the same time pointed their spears and arrows with bone ‘through deficiency of iron’ as Tacitus says. A curious story is told us by the Byzantine historian Simocatta. When the Emperor Maurice, in {{asc|A.D.}} 591, was marching against the Avars on the shores of the Sea of Marmora, there were brought to him two unarmed men of strange aspect, who carried musical instruments like lutes. It was ascertained from them that the Khan of the Avars had sent to their people, who lived on the coast of the Baltic, demanding aid against the Byzantine Emperor, and they were sent as messengers to reply that they were a peaceable people, unaccustomed to wars, and unacquainted with the use of iron.

When we read in the Scandinavian Sagas of the digging into old grave-mounds in quest of swords that had been manufactured by Dwarfs, we are forced to the conviction that such blades, if good for anything, must have been thus oil-tempered again and again in the manufacture, and so only could have withstood rust. The knowledge of iron came to the Greeks about 1200 {{asc|B.C.}}, and iron weapons and implements were carried up the Danube by Scythian nomadic dealers. A great centre of early iron manufacture would seem to have been in Illyria and Thrace, but who the ironworkers were who travelled in the north of Europe and in Britain we do not know. A few characteristic stories of this people must suffice. A man rose one morning on the way from Apenrade to Jordkirch by the ‘Three hills.’ He heard hammering going on vigorously in one.

He considered the Harlyn interments to date from about the third century {{asc|B.C.}} There were found at the time a great many needles and prongs of slate, which were afterwards exhibited on the spot and sold to tourists as stone spear-heads. They were no such thing. They were splinters of a soft local slate that had been rolled by the wind and grated by the sand into the shape they assumed, and such are found all through the district. Dr. Beddoe came down and examined the skulls and skeletons. He considered the interments to be late, and of a race somewhat short in stature, with dolichocephalic skulls, not prognathous. ‘We may conjecture with some confidence that it was after the Gallo–Belgic and before the Roman Conquest.’ There were marked peculiarities in the skulls, distinguishing them from those of the Aryan Celt and from those of the men of the Bronze period.

Five years later his father's family located in Philadelphia where Edward was apprenticed at an early age to a weaver. Later young Baker drove a dray in St. Louis. He was admitted to the bar in Illinois, obtained a Major's commission in the Black Hawk War, was commissioned colonel in the Mexican War; became a member of congress from Illinois in 1849; located in California; moved to Oregon, and in 1860 was elected United States Senator. His was a dramatic career while in the senate. Attired in the full uniform of a colonel, he appeared before his fellow Senators in a stirring defense of the Union, August 2, 1861; and four days later was confirmed Brigadier General. He fell in battle at Ball's Bluff, October 21, 1861. {{FI | file = E. D. Baker.jpg | width = 200px | caption = E. D.

He was enabled to give a typical plea in the "Defense of Cora;" tart repartee in his "Reply to Benjamin;" the fiery animus of Patrick Henry in the "Baker Mass-Meeting Address;" human sympathy in the "Broderick Oration;" ornate style in the "Oration on the Atlantic Cable;" and poetry and music in the "Ode to a Wave." On all occasions the flight of the "Old Gray Eagle" was lofty, attracting the minds of men from sordid thoughts and groveling themes. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 8cgqlux0q950y567oqglzuvsvh9bsyz Page:Public Opinion (Lippmann).djvu/154 104 2580678 12507281 11732784 2022-07-24T21:00:15Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Einstein95" />{{rh|140|PUBLIC OPINION|}}{{fine block/s}}</noinclude>seasons.

Some never come out into public view. Others are called out only by exceptional circumstances. But the characters take their form from a man's conception of the situation in which he finds himself. If the environment to which he is sensitive happens to be the smart set, he will imitate the character he conceives to be appropriate. That character will tend to act as modulator of his bearing, his speech, his choice of subjects, his preferences.

Every class of the general public was included in this large Commission; and the whole of the analyses, tests, observations, and experiments, were made by that accomplished practical chemist, {{sc|Mr. Bull.}} The first subject of inquiry was that article of universal consumption familiarly known in England as "Government." Mr. Bull produced a sample of this commodity, purchased about the middle of July in the present year, at a wholesale establishment in Downing Street. The first remark to be made on the sample before the Commission, Mr. Bull observed, was its excessive dearness. There was little doubt that the genuine article could be furnished to the public, at a fairer profit to the real producers, for about fifty per cent less than the cost price of the specimen under consideration. In quality, the specimen was of an exceedingly poor and low description; being deficient in flavor, character, clearness, brightness, and almost every other requisite. It was what would be popularly termed wishy-washy, muddled, and flat. Mr. Bull pointed out to the Commission, floating on the top of this sample, a volatile ingredient, which he considered had no business there. It might be harmless enough, taken into the system at a debating-society, or after a public dinner, or a comic song; but in its present connection, it was dangerous. It had not improved with keeping. It had come into use as a ready means of making froth, but froth was exactly what ought not to be found at the top of this article, or indeed in any part of it. The sample before the Commission, was frightfully adulterated with immense infusions of the common weed called Talk. Talk, in such combination, was a rank Poison. He had obtained a precipitate of Corruption from this purchase. He did not mean metallic corruption, as deposits of gold, silver or copper; but, that species of corruption which, on the proper tests being applied, turned white into black, and black into white, and likewise engendered quantities of parasite vermin. He had tested the strength of the sample, and found it not nearly up to the mark. He had detected the presence of a Grey deposit in one large Department, which produced vacillation and weakness; indisposition to action to-day, and action upon compulsion to-morrow. He considered the sample, on the whole, decidedly unfit for use. Mr. Bull went on to say, that he had purchased another specimen of the same commodity at an opposition establishment over the way, which bore the sign of the British Lion, and proclaimed itself, with the aid of a Brass Band, as "The only genuine and patriotic shop;" but, that he had found it equally deleterious; and that he had not succeeded in discovering any dealer in the commodity under consideration who sold it in a genuine or wholesome state. The bitter drug called Public Offices, formed the next subject of inquiry. Mr. Bull produced an immense number of samples of this drug, obtained from shops in Downing Street, Whitehall, Palace Yard, the Strand, and elsewhere. Analysis had detected in every one of them, from seventy-five to ninety-eight per cent of Noodledom. Noodledom was a deadly poison. An over-dose of it would destroy a whole nation, and he had known a recent case where it had caused the death of many thousand men. It was sometimes called Routine, sometimes Gentlemanly Business, sometimes The Best Intentions, and sometimes Amiable Incapacity; but, call it what you would, analysis always resolved it into Noodledom. There was nothing in the whole united domains of the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms, so incompatible with all the functions of life as Noodledom. It was producible with most unfortunate ease. Transplant anything from soil and conditions it was fit for, to soil and conditions it was not fit for, and you immediately had Noodledom. The germs of self-propagation contained within this baleful poison, were incalculable: Noodledom uniformly and constantly engendering Noodledom, until every available inch of space was over-run by it.

At little more than a hundred and fifty miles distance, it was said, there spread beautiful pastures, green and fertile and beautiful woodlands, where the forest trees were so lightly and airily scattered, that the turf grew strong, and fresh, and sweet beneath them, as on the openest plains, or the fairest downs. These park-like expanses, stretching themselves for hundreds of miles in all directions, were here washed by the ocean, and here stretched at the feet of far- off blue-glancing mountains. Rivers and lively brooks wound invitingly through them, and occasional lakes gave thei rrefreshing charm to plains of most luxurious fertility. Certain adventurous men who had assumed the profession of whalers, it was said, had for some time haunted these elysian shores; now skirting their lofty and more thickly-forested portions, and now anchoring in secluded creeks and bays, where they varied their ocean-life by hunting the kangaroo and the emu through the lovely pastures and the pleasant evergreen woods. So charming had they found this life, that they had resolved to enjoy it continually, and had therefore built huts on the shores of a fine bay, and had stealthily carried over in their whale-boats flocks and cattle, and all that was necessary for a jocund and plentiful Robinson Crusoe life. But such fairylands, wherever they lie, are too alluring to remain long terræ incognitæ. King Arthur is supposed to have lain hidden some thousand years or more in the Isle of Avalon, waiting for the day when it shall be necessary to turn out and save his country, and as said country appears yet very able to save itself, he may, with our consent and that of posterity, probably stay there another thousand. But that is the only instance in which a man can keep such a desirable country to himself. Little Tasmania having been only inhabited by the white man about thirty years, was already become glutted with his flocks and herds. Fertile as were the valleys of Van Diemen's Land, a great portion of the island was occupied by wild, rugged mountains, and still more by dense and often barren forests. In these thirty years of European possession the population had reached the sum of forty thousand, of whom no less than seventeen thousand were England's expatriated criminals. The little more than twenty thousand free men already found themselves masters of eight hundred thousand sheep, which were palpably becoming too many for the capabilities of the pasturage, especially in summer, when the grass was scorched, and, as it were, dead. The news of the new regions of fertility and boundlessness, on the other side, as the phrase became and remains, were, therefore, listened to with avidity. Not only did individuals hasten to get over, but companies were formed, to purchase vessels, and large tracts of country from the natives, when they had reached the promised land. First and foremost amongst these adventurers were John Pascoe Fawkner and his associates, who, procuring a ship from Sydney, steered across with their cattle and people from the heads of the Tamar in Van Diemen's Land to the present bay and site of Port Phillip. But the spirit of enterprise was awake, thousands were on fire to expand themselves over limitless regions of fertility; the cry of the whole island was, to-morrow to fresh fields and pastures new; and others had contrived to outstrip the Fawkner party. As their vessel bearing, as they supposed, the nucleus of a new colony, made its way up the spacious bay of Port Phillip, a man descended from an eminence, now called Indented Head, and warned away those who had hoped to be the first patriarchs of the soil. This was one John Batman, who, with a company of fifteen others, including a Mr. Gellibrand—an eminent lawyer of Van Diemen's Land, destined to perish by the tomahawks of the natives, and give his name to several hills in the new country—had not only outstripped Fawkner, but had purchased a tract of six hundred thousand acres of the natives. Thus he came down on the people of the little ship Enterprise, not only as a prior arrival, but as a proprietor of the ground.

The little more than twenty thousand free men already found themselves masters of eight hundred thousand sheep, which were palpably becoming too many for the capabilities of the pasturage, especially in summer, when the grass was scorched, and, as it were, dead. The news of the new regions of fertility and boundlessness, on the other side, as the phrase became and remains, were, therefore, listened to with avidity. Not only did individuals hasten to get over, but companies were formed, to purchase vessels, and large tracts of country from the natives, when they had reached the promised land. First and foremost amongst these adventurers were John Pascoe Fawkner and his associates, who, procuring a ship from Sydney, steered across with their cattle and people from the heads of the Tamar in Van Diemen's Land to the present bay and site of Port Phillip. But the spirit of enterprise was awake, thousands were on fire to expand themselves over limitless regions of fertility; the cry of the whole island was, to-morrow to fresh fields and pastures new; and others had contrived to outstrip the Fawkner party. As their vessel bearing, as they supposed, the nucleus of a new colony, made its way up the spacious bay of Port Phillip, a man descended from an eminence, now called Indented Head, and warned away those who had hoped to be the first patriarchs of the soil. This was one John Batman, who, with a company of fifteen others, including a Mr. Gellibrand—an eminent lawyer of Van Diemen's Land, destined to perish by the tomahawks of the natives, and give his name to several hills in the new country—had not only outstripped Fawkner, but had purchased a tract of six hundred thousand acres of the natives. Thus he came down on the people of the little ship Enterprise, not only as a prior arrival, but as a proprietor of the ground. But John Fawkner, who was destined to cut<noinclude></noinclude> cqslg6egi3xvbv9dqr6ynjspfsrvim0 Page:Household Words - Volume 12.djvu/119 104 2594062 12507798 8907566 2022-07-25T03:15:47Z Hilohello 2345291 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Mukkakukaku" />{{rh|{{smaller|Charles Dickens.]}}|THE ROVING ENGLISHMAN.|{{smaller|[Sept 1, 1835.]}} 109}} {{block center/s}}</noinclude><section begin="INVALID" /><poem> O sun! thou cherisher of life, Thou opposite of death, Dissolver of the frost-bound strife That seals up Nature's breath!

Life is nowhere so free from vain restraints and troublesome formalities. There are no grave worshipful persons about, to shame merry folks into being staid and serious. A true Wallachian looks upon flirtation as the business of life. This may be varied now and then by dancing, gambling, and official peculation; but these are merely casual diversions, and the true-bred Wallachian returns to the first occupation with a quickened sense of enjoyment. He is indeed a political intriguer by nature; but, after all, politics are merely an amusement to him, and he would give up the schemes of half a lifetime for the smile of some bedizened old coquette of forty-nine. He is not ambitious; but lie likes place for its profits; for the temporary advantage which it gives him over his rivals in love affairs, and over the neighbours who desire to rob him in some way—as most of them do. Every Wallachian nobleman believes devoutly that he has a right to hold some public office, at least once during his life, to divorce his wife when he pleases, and to outwit his neighbour. He would bear the utmost extreme of want and poverty however rather than follow any trade. Recently the prejudice entertained among the nobility against the learned professions, is happily melting away. I take it, they consented to be instructed by the Greeks in, this respect; so it is pleasant to add that the present minister—or, it would be more correct to say, director—of the interior, was a doctor of medicine, and that by far the greatest man in the country, lived long in exile on the honorable earnings of a small professorship in Moldavia. I know no race of men more winning and interesting than the Roumans, or of conduct more thoroughly objectionable. The men are mostly slight, dark, gipsy-looking fellows, with keen, restless eyes. They are as active as wild men. They are almost as strong and fearless as their old Dacian fore-fathers. But they consider it the height of fashion and good taste to affect an exaggerated effeminacy of demeanour and habits. It is delightful to see some well-knit gentleman, with a sweeping moustache six or seven inches long, a nervous frame, and the glance of a hawk, whose right place would undoubtedly be at the head of a troop of irregular cavalry, placing his trust in eau de Cologne and cambric handkerchiefs, or waltzing with a six-dandy power fifty times round a room which he could clear from one end to the other at a single bound. But conversation, however carefully subdued, breaks out now and then in strange fiery sallies. There is a racy, fine-flavoured smack about it, which speaks of keen wits and hearty animal enjoyment in the midst of the most artificial scenes. Extraordinary intimacies exist among them. Friends are fond of calling each other by some pungent nickname that would torture the ears of a used-up gentleman of the West: a nickname usually derived from some odd act of roguery, which has of course been found out. They walk into each other's houses unannounced. They stay as long as they please, joining in the meals and occupations of the family, and talking, dancing, singing eternally. They are always combining and arranging practical jokes of an elsewhere unheard-of nature. The ladies enter keenly into this sport, and distinguish themselves in it. A gentleman of the French nation who was visiting, not long ago, at the house of a great Boyard, was delighted at the attentions of a lady who formed one of the company. Before the evening was over she implored him to write to her. The enraptured Gaul complied; and, on going out to dinner on the following day, learned to his dismay that his letter was the general topic of conversation in polite society, and had been handed about by his fair friend to all her acquaintances.

It would be only just to the apprentice to provide specially in the indentures that he should not be required, under any circumstances, to eat any of his own journey work. As evidence of progress, it might be desirable to deposit, in the windows of the society's offices, two sirloins of beef, the one showing the curving capabilities of the student on his first joining the society, the other exhibiting his progress after six lessons. When, by theoretical instruction, practical experience, and emulative excitement, the undergraduates shall have become so far versed in the ordinary duties of the table as to know what gastronomy requires to be cut thick, and what thin; when they shall have learnt in which direction to obtain the best cut of venison, and how to divide the ribs from the shoulder in a forequarter of lamb; in short, when acquainted with the more ordinary and elemental branches of the art; it is proposed that select carving réunions should be held in the college hall, at which they should enjoy opportunities of displaying their adroitness. It might be well that the neophytes should be required, on these occasions, to cut up large geese and fowl of mature years, on small dishes, from very low chairs, with knives of the bluntest description. Mysterious side-dishes might also be handed round; which it should be their duty to dispense with as much coolness as if they knew what they were made of; and they should be expected to maintain an easy, unembarrassed flow of small talk, even when in the agonies of dissecting a tough old ptarmigan. The course of study should conclude with a series of lectures on those refinements of the art, a knowledge of which is indispensable to the reputation of an accomplished carver. During the course, observations would naturally be directed to the prevalence and character of second-day dishes, with a view to place the student in a position to detect at a glance whether a dish had ever done duty in any other shape. He would thus be enabled to trace the mulligatawney soup of to day back to the curried chicken of yesterday, and again to the boiled fowl of the day before. Some hints might likewise be given on physiognomy in connection with carving, by which the carver could be enabled to discriminate between the honoured guest, to whom it would be proper to offer the wing, from the victim who might, without offence, be put off with the drumstick. It is confidently believed that, by these means, the day may yet arrive when thousands of our benighted countrymen and countrywomen will be so well skilled in the art of carving, as to be able to define "joints innumerable in the smallest chick that ever broke the heart of a brood hen," and supply fourteen people handsomely, from a single pheasant, still retaining the leg for himself. <section end="CARVER" /> {{rule}} <section begin="INVALID" />{{c|THE INVALID'S MOTHER. {{asc|TO THE SUN, AT LISBON.}}}} {{block center/s}} <poem> {{sc|O sun!}} whose universal smile Brightens the various lands, From burning Egypt's fruitful Nile And Lybia's desert sands— To where some frozen Lapland hut, Dingy, and cold, and low, Bids half its gleaming surface jut In light above the snow; I loved thee, as a careless child, Where English meadows spread Their cowslip blossoms sweet and wild By Thames' translucent bed! Now, with a still and serious hope, I watch thy rays once more, And cast life's anxious horoscope Upon a foreign shore.

King René presided in 1469, and grand exhibitions of costume and strange ceremonies take place during the two days of the festival. Tarascon was originally a settlement of the Massaliots, built on an island of the Rhone. The mediæval castle, where Pope Urban II. lived in 1096, was built on the ruins of a Roman castrum. The inhabitants of Tarascon preserved the municipal institutions granted them by the Romans, and of the absolute power claimed by the counts of Provence they only recognized the rights of sovereignty. Tarascon played a bloody part in the White Terror of 1815. {{EB1911 Fine Print/e}} <section end="Tarascon" /> <section begin="Taraxacum" />{{ti|1em|{{larger|'''TARAXACUM'''}} is the name usually applied in medical practice to the common dandelion (''Taraxacum officinale'', Wiggers). The {{EB9 article link|Dandelion}} (''q.v''.) is a plant of the northern hemisphere, extending to the Arctic regions, and is cultivated in India. The preparations chiefly employed are the fluid extract, the preserved juice of the root, or succus, and the solid extract. The dried and roasted root, mixed with ground coffee, is often sold under the name of dandelion coffee for use as a beverage. The root is most bitter from March to July, but the milky juice it contains is less abundant in the summer than in the autumn. For this reason, the extract and succus are usually prepared during the months of September and October. After a frost a change takes place in the root, which loses its bitterness to a large extent. In the dried state the root will not keep well, being quickly attacked by insects. Externally it is brown and wrinkled, internally white, with a yellow centre and concentric paler rings. It is 2 inches to a foot long, and about to {{fs70|{{sfrac|1|4}}}} to {{fs70|{{sfrac|1|2}}}} inch in diameter. The juice when first exuded is bitter and neutral, but on exposure to the air soon acquires an acid reaction and a brown tint, coagulating and depositing a complex substance, to which the name of “leontodonium’’ has been given. From this deposit a bitter principle, "taraxacin," and an acrid crystalline substance, "taraxacerin," soluble in alcohol, have been obtained, but to which of these the medicinal properties are due is not known. In autumn the root contains about 24 per cent, of inulin, but in summer barely 2 per cent. When the juice has fermented, mannite is found in it. Taraxacum is chiefly employed as a stimulant tonic in hepatic disorders. In some cases it acts as a cholagogue and mild aperient, and in others as a diuretic.}} {{EB1911 Fine Print/s}} The roots of other Composite plants are sometimes gathered by careless collectors for dandelion, especially that of ''Leontodon hispidus'' (L.). The root of this plant is tough when fresh, and rarely exudes any milky juice. The flowers, moreover, have feathery pappus, while in the dandelion it is simple. {{EB1911 Fine Print/e}} {{EB1911 fine print/e}} <section end="Taraxacum" /> <section begin="Tarbes" />{{ti|1em|{{larger|'''TARBES'''}}, a town of France, chef-lieu of the department of Hautes-Pyrénées, is situated in one of the most beautiful plains of France, on the left bank of the Adour, streams from which are conducted through all parts of the town. The lines of railway from Paris to Pierrefitte and from Toulouse to Bayonne cross here. Among the many gardens and open spaces for which Tarbes is distinguished is the Massey garden (35 acres), given to his native town by a Versailles official of that name, in which his statue faces the town museum, founded by the collector Achille Jubinal. The varied collections include Roman remains, and specimens of the fauna and flora of the Pyrenees. The architecture of the cathedral is heavy and unpleasing, but the cupola of the transept (14th century), the modern glass in the 12th-century apse, and a rose window of the 13th century, in the north transept, are worthy of notice. The Carmelite church has an interesting steeple, and there are the ruins of a chapel and cloister, and Roman remains in the garden of the former episcopal palace, now occupied by the prefecture. The municipal buildings, with the public library (22,000 volumes), the lyceum, the court of justice, and the barracks (which are large and fine) may also be mentioned among the public buildings. The garrison and artillery establishments, the latter associated with an arsenal and large workshops, have considerable importance. Other industrial establishments are a foundry machine manufactory, felt and woollen factories, and wool and flax spinning mills. Paper, lace, knitted goods, carriages, and leather are also made here, and marble from the Pyrenees is prepared for the market. There are important fairs and markets, particularly for horses, as Tarbes is a well-known centre for a special breed of light horses, its stud being the most important in the south of France. The population of the town was 24,882 in 1886.}} {{EB1911 Fine Print/s}} Tarbes, a mere {{lang|la|''vicus''}} in the time of Gregory of Tours, rose into importance after the destruction of the ancient Aquitanian town of Turba. The seat of the bishopric was transferred to it about the 9th century, when a castle was also built. Raymond I., towards the middle of the 10th century, rebuilt the town, fortified it, and made it the capital of the county of Bigorre. The English held the town from 1360 to 1406. In 1569 Tarbes was burnt by Montgomery, and the inhabitants were driven out. This happened a second time, but in August 1570 the peace of St Germain allowed the inhabitants to return to the grass-grown streets. Subsequently Tarbes was four times taken and re-taken, and a number of the inhabitants of Bigorre were forced to take refuge in Spain, but in 1594 the members of the League were finally expelled. The English, under Wellington, gained a victory over the French near Tarbes in 1814. Théophile Gautier was born here in 1811. {{EB1911 Fine Print/e}} <section end="Tarbes" /> <section begin="Tarentum" />{{ti|1em|{{larger|'''TARENTUM'''}}, or {{sc|Taras}}, now Taranto, a famous Greek city of southern Italy, situated on the north coast of the bay of the same name, at the entrance of the only secure port on the gulf. This port, now called the ''Mare Piccolo'', is a bay 16 miles in circuit, landlocked by a low rocky peninsula. The entrance is so narrow that it is crossed by a bridge of seven arches; it was already bridged in Strabo’s time. The modern town, in the province of Lecce, which is the see of an archbishop and had in 1881 a population of 26,611, stands on the peninsula, which is now rather an island, the isthmus connecting it with the mainland having been cut through for defence by Ferdinand I. The ancient citadel occupied the same site, but the city in its best days was much larger, traces of the walls being visible about 2 miles from the gates of the modern town. The remains of antiquity are inconsiderable.}} {{EB1911 Fine Print/s}} Tarentum was a Spartan colony founded about the close of the 8th century {{asc|B.C.}}. (Jerome gives the date 708) to relieve the parent state of a part of its population which did not possess, but claimed to enjoy, full civic rights. Legend represents these ''Partheniæ'' (so they are called) as Spartans with a stain on their birth, but the accounts are neither clear nor consistent, and the facts that underlie them have not been cleared up. The Greeks were not the first settlers on the peninsula: recent excavations have brought to light signs of a pre-Hellenic trading-place, and the name of Taras may be older than the colony. To the Greeks Taras was a mythical hero, son of Neptune, and he is sometimes confounded with the œeist of the colony, Phalanthus. Situated in a fertile district, especially famous for olives and sheep, with an admirable harbour, great fisheries, and prosperous manufactures of wool, purple, and pottery, Tarentum grew in power and wealth and extended its domain inland. Even a great defeat by the natives in 473 {{asc|B. C.}}, when more Greeks fell than in any battle known to Herodotus, did not break its prosperity, though it led to a change of government from aristocracy to democracy. A feud with the Thurians for the district of the Siris was settled in 432 by the joint foundation of Heraclea, which, however, was regarded as a Tarentine colony. In the 4th century Tarentum was the first city of Great Greece, and its wealth and artistic culture at this time are amply attested by its rich and splendid coins; the gold pieces in particular (mainly later than 360) are perhaps the most beautiful ever struck by Greeks (see {{9link| Numismatics |sc=a}}, {{9link|Volume XVII|{{abbr|vol|volume}}.{{nbsp}}xvii.}} {{9link| Numismatics #637|{{abbr|p|page}}.{{nbsp}}637}}). In the second half of the century Tarentum was in constant war with the Lucanians, and did not hold its ground without the aid of Spartan and Epirote ''condottieri''. Then followed war with Rome (281), the expedition of Pyrrhus, and at length, in 272, the surrender of the city by its Epirote garrison (see the details in {{9link|Volume XX|{{abbr|vol|volume}}.{{nbsp}}xx.}} {{9link|Rome#743|{{abbr|p|page}}.{{nbsp}}743 ''sq.''}}), Tarentum retained nominal liberty as an ally of Rome.

What’s mine’s my own, an’ I’m not boun’ to gi’e it unless I like.” His pockets would give their loudest chaunting of confidence and defiance (like allied monarchs singing their Te Deum), and the sharp jerk of his head and a glance to the door would show that the interview was concluded, and his ''ultimatum'' given. He was convinced that in the estimation of the world his money was the best part of him. He entertained no inflated notion of his personal qualifications or attainments: on the contrary, he had a very low opinion of them. He knew that he was devoid of education, and had no talent except that of making money—which he considered a very easy thing to do. In his self-communings, after his advice or counsel had been sought by others, he would say, “Ay, Sam, thy money’s thy wit; loise one an’ t’ other goes wi’ it. A man’s wit is what he has; t’ lawyer’s his wig, an’ t’ parson’s his gown. There’s no wit in a poor man.” His wealth had not produced in him any of the vulgar pride which so often causes the man who has risen from the ranks to despise the grade from which he has come. He was still in heart and in manners one of the people, and he looked with undisguised and plain-spoken contempt upon such of his early acquaintances as had risen like himself, and had then assumed to themselves the style and haughtiness of those with whom they had nothing in common except wealth. After a visit to them, which he paid very seldom and reluctantly, he would, in allusion to the contrast between their luxury and their manners, say, “It wor war nor suppin’ porridge out o’ t’ dye-pan.” His great “Boggart” was poor relations. He had no faith in their affection towards him. They were all to him plunderers, open or disguised. In his walks in the town, he would go a mile round rather than meet one, for with all his contempt for them he felt, as he expressed it, “that blood’s thicker nor water;” and however much he might rail at them, he never left them without some more pleasant and substantial proof of his kinship. It was perhaps from a sense of his weakness on this point that he carefully refrained from giving his nephew any information about his relations. To this nephew he was indulgent in all respects: perhaps because he never thwarted his will. He was determined that there should be no drawbacks to his nephew’s advancement in the world, or to his enjoyment in due time of the ease and pleasure which wealth can give. He should be able to take his place with the best in the land. His maxim was, “Th’ getter a man, an’ t’spender a gentleman,” and he spared no expense in the education of his nephew. Still he was careful that no idle or extravagant habits should be contracted by him, and maintained a strict superintendence over him. Hitherto he had had little occasion to find fault. Henry was perhaps too fond of his books, too slow in acquiring the tricks of trade, and too full of unsettled notions to altogether suit his uncle, but he was admitted to be on the whole “a steady decent lad, wi’ some queer notions.” From the time of Henry’s last interview with Susan, there was a change in him which his uncle soon perceived, but which he could not account for. He came home at more irregular hours, he was abstracted and irritable, and sat by the fire for hours in moody silence. His uncle formed many an hypothesis as to the cause. He feared he had got into some pecuniary difficulty which he dare not confess, or that there had been some quarrel between him and his master. A little adroit inquiry of the latter satisfied him that this was not the case, but elicited the fact that Henry’s attendance to business had of late been irregular and open to comment. Bentley was determined to find out the cause, and mentioned the matter to his manager, telling him to make investigations and report the result. In a few days the manager came to him and stated that he had found out that “Henry was after a mill hand,” one famous in the town for her good looks. If Bentley had had patience to listen on, he would have learnt that there was not that criminality which in the glow of his indignation he assumed there was, for the manager would have stated honestly the particulars of his discovery, and admitted that in his opinion no blame attached to the girl, or as yet to Henry. Bentley, however, started off in a mighty rage, vowing dreadful things against Henry and the girl, and swearing he would discard him and expose her. He went as quick as he could to the warehouse, where Henry ought to have been at work, and found he was not there, and that no one knew where he was. He had therefore to nurse his rage until evening, when Henry would return home. During the day he became, by dwelling upon the hateful subject, greatly excited, and communicated to more than one of his acquaintances the resolution to turn Henry adrift in the world if he ventured to show his face again. Idle words; the mere fume of a troubled affection, but which brought forth fruit. At the time Bentley went in search of Henry, the latter was in search of Susan. He had past many weary hours in hanging about Mrs. Womersley’s house in hopes of again seeing Susan; he had covertly made inquiries, all without success, and was despairing of again meeting with her, when, from a casual observation by one of his companions, he obtained a clue to her residence. He immediately went out to ascertain the accuracy of the information, and learnt that Susan was lodging at the low end of the town, in one of the dingy and not very reputable streets below the Old Church with a factory girl, who did not, even amongst her own class, bear the best of characters. This surprised him. He had formed a bright idea of Susan’s purity and worth, which this fact seemed to destroy, and the soft beaming and transparent gaze which seemed to him to know no thought that man could condemn, or woman reprove, might be but a snare and a delusion. The thought was maddening. He could not give her up, and with this fearful doubt he could not seek her. The truth, be it what it might, must and should be known instantly. Instead of returning to his employment, he went into a neighbouring public-house to spend the few hours of the afternoon until the factories should close.

This café, which stood opposite the Comédie Française, seems to have borne some humble resemblance to Wills’s, and one or two other London coffee-houses of nearly the same period, though bearing a more exclusively theatrical character; for there, we are told, “had been held for upwards of sixty years, the tribunal of these self-styled aristarchs, who fancied they could pass judgment without appeal on plays, authors, and actors.” And to the judgment of such a tribunal, on the ''second'' appearance of his work, was Voltaire satisfied to submit himself! and up till eleven o’clock, at which time the self-constituted critics had dispersed, did he sit there in silence, spectacles on nose, pretending to read the Gazette, and drinking in every word of praise or blame, as if on the breath of this gang of idlers depended his fame or obscurity! The affair of his “Confession” speaks for itself, especially followed, as it was, by his delight that the applause given by the multitude to the passages against the clergy in Irène, produced not many days after, should ''do away with the bad effect of the Confession on the public!'' Of the same spirit smacks his never-ceasing mortification at the coldness of the king and court, whom he pretended, individually, to despise; but not till all hope, of softening or winning them to receive and notice him, had departed. But, perhaps, in a little speech to d’Alembert, is more epigrammatically expressed than anywhere else this passion of his for general applause. “If you meet,” said he, as d’Alembert was quitting Ferney, after a six weeks’ visit, “any ''dévots'' on your way, tell them that I have finished my church; and if you meet any ''gens aimables'', tell them that I have finished my theatre.” {{right|{{sc|Marguerite A.

What does become of those enormous sums which are annually contributed to charitable institutions? It is not too much to say that a very uneasy feeling is growing up on this subject;—with the exception, perhaps, of the cases of our great hospitals. Where the wisdom of parliament and the charity of individuals has made such ample provision for the poor and destitute of this metropolis, it is too bad that our feelings should be so constantly harrowed up by tales of distress; and still more by the consciousness that all we hear represents but a portion of the misery actually existing during seasons such as the present. He would do the country good service who would look carefully into the matter, and tell us how the expenditure of these charities is directed, controlled, and checked. Meanwhile, as above all things it is desirable to avoid vain declamation, and the idle cant of philanthropy, the best recommendation we can give to our readers is to be upon the watch for the misery which may fairly come under their notice, and to relieve it as best they may. He would not have spent his Christmas ill who had enabled two or three poor families to tide it over the starving time until employment is again forthcoming. It is much to be feared that the sufferings of the London poor have formed a gloomy back-ground to the Christmas merriment of {{sc|Last Week}}. The subject has been canvassed again and again by every British fire-side, but still we cannot pass over in absolute silence the Chinese intelligence which reached England in the last days of last year. Politically it is well enough. We may fairly hope to be rid for ever of those Chinese wars which seemed to be as completely a part of our institutions as November fogs, or a fight with the Kaffirs once every five years. The prestige of that old semi barbarian Court at Pekin is at an end. Henceforward the Emperor of China and his Privy Council are to us much the same as the former King of Oude, or the actual Sovereign of Nepaul. We are of a higher race, and of a higher civilisation, and the proof of the assertion is to be found in the results of the collision between China and Europe. The sacrifice of thousands of lives has been the consequence of our deference to the susceptibilities of our sentiment-mongers. Let us ask from the Chinese, and take from the Chinese, only what is just, and let us weigh this by an European, not by a Chinese measure of justice. We do not want their territory—we do not want to be their masters, as a planter of South Carolina is the master of his slaves—but we say that a section of the globe so important that it affords means of support to one-third of the human race, shall not be sealed up against the remaining two-thirds. The late Dr. Arnold was the first public writer of any note, who had the courage to blow to the four winds the old fallacy that a parcel of savages had the right to block out the civilised races of mankind from a fair and fertile island or continent, about which they were running naked and useless. Providence never intended that the fable of the Dog in the Manger should be the great parable for the instruction of the human race. It may be presumed that China—according to the cant phrase—is now opened, and it will be our own fault if it is ever closed again. The Chinese difficulty has turned out in practice to be even as one of those palaces inhabited by a wicked necromancer of which we read in Ariosto. It is apparently surrounded by moats and drawbridges—guarded by monstrous shapes which brandish the most terrific weapons, and by dragons which belch forth poisonous exhalations from their uncouth jaws. Who is to get in there? Nobody save the peerless knight who will not look behind him. Hundreds come and try the adventure, but they are not peerless knights, and they do look behind them, and are lost. At last a young straightforward gentleman in chain armour, who has only one idea in his head, and that one connected with a young lady who is a prisoner in the castle, puts his lance in rest, and charges full at dragons, giants, moats, portcullises, and all the necromantic arrangements, and hey, presto! they fade into empty air. Nothing remains but a beautiful damsel coyly eager to “crown the flame” of the enraptured young man. This has been just the history of our Chinese wars. We have been ever looking behind, when we should have ridden a course with single mind at the very stronghold of the Delusion. Let honour be given where honour is due. Where our statesmen and diplomatists failed, one private Englishman hit upon the true solution of the question, and in season and out of season hammered away at it, till he had fairly battered it into the minds of his countrymen. The capture of Pekin is the practical illustration of Mr. Wingrove Cooke’s Chinese letters to the “Times.” ''Sic vos non vobis'' is an old motto where public affairs are in question. The goal is reached, but nobody now thinks of the man who was the first to point out the way. Would that the satisfaction had come to us without alloy! The thought of our murdered countrymen who are now sleeping their last sleep in the Russian cemetery at Pekin is so bitter that it even poisons our feeling of relief at being at last delivered from the old Chinese incubus. There must be something terribly true about such an emotion as this when it thrills throughout a nation. The murder at Hango Sound did more to embitter our feelings towards the Russians than the deaths of all our countrymen who fell in the open field and in honourable fight. It is so with this wretched Chinese story. Years must pass away before we think with common patience of these cruel, half-barbarous men who took the lives of our poor countrymen in so wanton and so stupid a way, after the infliction of torture which one shudders but to think of. The names of Anderson and De Norman, of Bowlby and Brabazon, will remain for years to come watchwords of hostility and irritation between ourselves and the Chinese. Meanwhile, some reparation has been exacted. The poor victims have been buried with military honours. The Chinese or Tartars have been compelled to attend at the ceremony as mourners—and amongst them ceremonies are more considered than in Europe. An indemnity of 100,000''l''. has been exacted for the families of the murdered gentlemen.

Neither the men themselves, nor society in general, knew that the perils of warfare and of wind and weather were less to be dreaded than those of disease in the barrack and the ship; but there was some general notion of the ravages of ship fever, and of epidemics in camps abroad. The Walcheren expedition in 1809 has ever since been regarded as an illustration of the very worst circumstances in which a body of soldiers can find themselves; but, till we had warning from the Crimean war, we were not fully aware that the calamities of the Walcheren expedition might be reproduced at any time, and that a mortality quite as needless, though less excessive, was always going on, wherever the British army was distributed over the world. We know all about it now; and this is the same thing as saying that such mischief can never happen again. I can just remember the sending out of those forty thousand men to Walcheren, nearly the worst known place for marsh fever in the world: yet no precautions were taken, no special provision of doctors, nurses, medicines, and comforts was made, because it was to be a secret where the force was going. So the men sank down by hundreds in a day, among the slimy sands on which they slept, and the stagnant water, alive with insects, which was all they had to drink; and within three months there were only four thousand of the forty thousand men fit for duty. What reinforcements were sent, I do not know; and the records of the Walcheren camp are actually lost, for want of understanding the value of experience; but we are in possession of the astounding fact that, after the thousands of deaths on the spot, there were 35,500 of the Walcheren soldiery admitted into the hospitals at home, in the course of the next winter and spring. The mischief did not end even here. Lord Wellington was conducting the Peninsular war at that time. All his resources were scanty—men, supplies, money, and everything; and yet he had, on an average, twenty-one men ill in every hundred. The poor fellows were not only useless but dreadfully burdensome. They could not be moved; they occupied healthy men in taking care of them, and they were a prodigious expense. How was it that nearly a quarter of his force was always ill? It was partly owing to the general ignorance of the management of health on a large scale; but it was yet more because the Walcheren patients were sent out to Portugal as soon as they were able to go. The voyage and the southern climate, it was thought, would set them up completely; but the first broiling noon or night dew prostrated them again; and they lay, as ill as ever, in every village along the march of the British army. Where there is a constant low state of health, there is a constant low state of morals; and it is no wonder that the British soldier was, in those days, a rather disreputable member of society. It always hurt the national feeling, to say so: but it was undeniably true. Wellington’s despatches show that he thought so; and he caused great offence in the army by the plainness with which he spoke in his public orders. The wonder would have been if the case had been otherwise. Sickly men, reckless of life because they do not expect to live, always do, and always will, make their short life what they call a merry one: and so our soldiers in the Peninsula, always brave in battle, were mischievous at other times—breaking into the wine cellars, and indulging in every kind of excess. The natural consequence of such conduct was punishment by the lash; and the consequence of that punishment was debasement and further recklessness, disease, and death. This was not the way to make the British army a safe defence at home, or an honour to our country abroad; and in fact the evil reputation which has hitherto attached to the ordinary soldiery of all countries, was the lot of the English soldier half a century ago, and up nearly to the present time. Even at this day it is but too true that the scamp element is large in our army. All our soldiers are volunteers; and till very recently there have been drawbacks in the lot of the soldier which deterred thousands of men who would have been a great advantage to the national defence, while their proper place has been filled by worthless fellows who have entered the army as a refuge, or for swindling purposes. Even now the amount of desertion is shocking, because it shows how many thieves have got into the force. These rogues enlist, desert, and sell their outfit, and enlist again under another name. They are not only an affliction in themselves, but they deter good men from entering. They have seriously lowered the character of the whole force; and it will take some time to bring up the general character of the British soldier to a level with his reputation for valour. But the condition and prospects of the soldier are immeasurably superior to what they were five years ago; and there is no longer the excuse for recklessness that the soldier’s life is of less value than that of others. We may remember that, about a dozen years ago, there was a stir in the public mind about improving the mind and life of the soldier. We heard of a good deal of effort to supply the men with instruction in regimental schools, and with books and newspapers for evening reading. Much kind feeling was called forth, valuable suggestions were offered; and not a little good was really effected. If it had been only that the soldiers saw that their fellow-citizens cared for them, in peace as well as in war, the benefit would not have been small. But experience has since shown us that we had not then got hold of the right handle.

He was born, probably, in the reign of Claudius, about {{asc|A.D.}} 45 or 50. His native place was Chæronea, in Bœotia, where his family had long been settled and was of good standing and local reputation. He studied at Athens under a philosopher named Ammonius. He visited Egypt. Later in life, Bome time before {{asc|A.D.}} 90, he was at Rome "on public business," a deputation, perhaps, from Chæronea. He continued there long enough to give lectures which attracted attention. Whether he visited Italy once only, or more often, is uncertain. He was intimate with Sosius Senecio, to all appearances the same who was four times consul. The acquaintance may have sprung up at Rome, where Sosius, a much younger man than himself,<ref>Unless the expression "my sons your companions" ought to be taken as a piece of pleasantry.</ref> may have first seen him as a lecturer; or they may have previously known each other in Greece. To Greece and to Chæronea he returned, and appears to have spent in the little town, which he was loth "to make less by the withdrawal of even one inhabitant," the remainder of his life. He took part in the public business of the place and the neighborhood. He was archon in the town, and officiated many years as a priest of Apollo, apparently at Delphi. He was married, and was the father of at least five children, of whom two sons, at any rate, survived to manhood. His greatest work, his Biographies, and several of his smaller writings, belong to this later period of his life, under the reign of Trajan. Whether he survived to the time of Hadrian is doubtful. If {{asc|A.D.}} 45 be taken by way of conjecture for the date of his birth, {{asc|A.D.}} 120, Hadrian's fourth year, may be assumed, in like manner, as pretty nearly that of his death.

"We are told," he says, in his Inquiry into the Principle of Cold, "by those who are now wintering with the Emperor on the Danube, that the freezing of water will crush boats to pieces." To this bare outline of certainties, several names and circumstances may be added from his writings; on which indeed alone we can safely rely for the very outline itself. There are a few allusions and anecdotes in the Lives, and from his miscellaneous compositions, his Essays, Lectures, Dialogues, Table-Talk, etc., the imagination may furnish itself with a great variety of curious and interesting suggestions. The name of his great-grandfather, Nicarchus, is incidentally recorded in the life of Antony. "My great-grandfather used," he says, "to tell, how in Antony's last war the whole of the citizens of Chæronea were put in requisition to bring down corn to the coast of the gulf of Corinth, each man carrying a certain load, and soldiers standing by to urge them on with the lash." One such journey was made, and they had measured out their burdens for the second, when news arrived of the defeat at Actiuin.<ref>There appears, however, to be no sure reason for saying that Plutarch himself remembered seeing his great-grandfather, and hearing him tell the story.</ref> Lamprias, his grandfather, is also mentioned in the same life.

The entire character of his life is of course altered by such an impression. It is, therefore, not worth while reprinting here the life originally prefixed by Dryden to the translations which, with more or less of alteration, follow in the present volumes. One or two characteristic extracts may be sufficient. The first may throw some light on a subject which to modern readers is a little obscure. Dryden is wrong in one or two less important points, but his general view of the ''dæmonic'' belief which pervades Plutarch's writings is tolerably to the purpose. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 40p2ko5lnueiojjskxrajw89ta9nukl Page:Shakespeare Collection of Poems.djvu/114 104 2718680 12508291 12487187 2022-07-25T11:31:19Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{rh|{{#ifexpr: {{SUBPAGENAME}} mod 2||{{#expr:{{SUBPAGENAME}}-12}}}}| ''The Rape of'' Lucrece. |{{#ifexpr: {{SUBPAGENAME}} mod 2|{{#expr:{{SUBPAGENAME}}-12}}|}}}}</noinclude>{{ppoem|start=stanza|end=follow|The little birds that tune their mornings joy, Make her mones mad with their sweet melody, For mirth doth search the bottome of annoy, Sad Souls are slaine in merry company, Grief best is pleased with griefs society: {{em}}True sorrow then is feelingly suffiz'd {{em}}When with like semblance it is simpathiz'd.

When we would consider only the figure of the globe of white marble, we form in reality an idea both of the figure and colour, but tacitly carry our eye to its resemblance with the globe of black marble: and in the same manner, when we would consider its colour only, we turn our view to its resemblance with the cube of white marble. By this means we accompany our ideas with a kind of reflection, of whiccustom renders us, in a great measure, insensible. A person who desires us to consider the figure of a globeh of white marble without thinking on its colour, desires an impossibility; but his meaning is, that we should consider the colour and figure together, but still keep in our eye the resemblance to the globe of black marble, or that to any other globe of whatever colour or substance." (''Treatise of Human Nature'', i. 7.){{smaller block/e}} It is not hard to see that we cannot distinguish in a body figured "many different resemblances and relations," without bringing the resembling elements in some sense singly into thought: if the mental complex which we call an object were an indissoluble unit, we might affirm a general likeness or unlikeness between it and other objects, but we could not affirm that the resemblance lay in the figure, or colour. If, as Hume asserts, the figure and colour "are, in effect, the same and undistinguishable," why do we find the one susceptible of the one class of resemblances, and the other of another class? If we take the words literally, should not the figure, viewed in one aspect, be susceptible of resemblances of figure, and viewed in another, of colour? And similarly, if the colour is one with the figure the same and undistinguishable, should not the colour, viewed in one aspect, be susceptible of resemblances of colour, and viewed in another, of figure? Hume's admission that the two elements are known as giving different resemblances in itself refutes his previous assertion that they are undistinguishable. If colour be recognised as like colour, and figure like figure, the two qualities are distinguished as different, and are in reality separately grasped. I will now take a passage from [[Author:John Stuart Mill|J. S. Mill]]'s ''[[Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy]]'' (c. xvii.): {{smaller block/s}}"The formation, therefore, of a Concept, does not consist in separating the attributes which arc said to compose it, from all other attributes of the same object, and enabling us to conceive those attributes, disjoined from any others. We neither conceive them, nor think them, nor cognise them in any way as a thing apart, but solely as forming, in combination with numerous other attributes, the idea of an individual object. But, though thinking them only as part of a larger agglomeration, we have the power of fixing our attention on them, to the neglect of the other attributes with which we think them combined. While the concentration of attention actually lasts, if it is sufficiently intense, we may be temporarily unconscious of any of the other attributes, and may really, for a brief interval, have nothing present to our mind but the attributes constituent to the<noinclude>{{smaller block/e}}</noinclude> gzr4xk8dpu91erm678vh7km2721bb8s Page:Mind (Old Series) Volume 11.djvu/237 104 2737289 12506972 9984050 2022-07-24T18:21:16Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|236|{{asc|J.

Almost 1500 years have passed since Nestorius played his rôle in history. And this role was in the orthodox church a very transitory one. For the Persian-Nestorian or Syrian-Nestorian church (as the language of this church was Syriac) Nestorius, it is true, became a celebrated saint; and still to-day small remains of this once far-reaching church are to be found in the vicinity of the Urmia Lake in the north-west of Persia and south of it in the mountains of Turkish Kurdistan. But in the orthodox church Nestorius was even in his own time an ephemeral appearance. In the year 428 {{sc|a.d.}} he became bishop of Constantinople and as early as 431 he was deposed. Four years later he was banished to Oasis in Egypt, and up to a few years ago the common opinion was that he died soon after in his exile. For the orthodox church he remained merely one of the most condemned heretics. He was reproached not<noinclude>{{block center|{{rh|{{asc|L.

But he does not make pretentious claims for his person or hope for another turn of his fortune. He has no more interest in the world. For ''e.g.'' after having said that one might ask him why the bishops of the Antiochian party had given assent to his deposition he answers<ref>{{sp|Bedjan}}, p. 451; {{sp|Nau}}, p. 289.</ref>: ''Well you must ask him'' (meaning Cyril), ''apparently also those'' (meaning the Antiochians). ''If you want to learn anything else of me, then I will speak of what is now gradually coming to the knowledge of the whole world, not in order to find approbation or assistance among men—for earthly things have but little interest for me. I have died to the world and live for Him, to whom my life belongs;—but I will speak to those who took offence'' etc. He writes in exile in the deserts of Egypt and has no prospect but of death. ''As for me'', so he concludes the treatise<ref>{{sp|Bedjan}}, p. 520&nbsp;f.; {{sp|Nau}}, p. 331.</ref>, ''I have borne the sufferings of my life and all that has befallen me in this world as the sufferings of a single day; and I have not changed all these years.

These intrigues on their part, according to what Nestorius tells in the continuation of the above-quoted passage<ref>{{sp|Bedjan}}, p. 152&nbsp;f.; {{sp|Nau}}, p. 92.</ref>, originated in accusations which were brought against Cyril himself. Cyril is regarded by Nestorius as having framed the dogmatic controversy for no other reason than to keep these accusations in the background. Nestorius raised this reproach against Cyril as early as in the late summer of 430 in a letter to the bishop of Rome<ref>{{lang|la|ep. ad Caelest.}} 3, {{lang|la|''Nestoriana''}}, p. 181, 10&nbsp;f.</ref>; and that this reproach was well grounded, I tried to show as far back as 1903 by pointing to a letter, written by Cyril to his clerical agents in Constantinople<ref>{{sp|Hauck'}}s {{lang|de|''Real-Encyklopädie''}}, {{sc|xiii}}, 745, 30&nbsp;ff.; comp. 743, 28&nbsp;ff.</ref>. After long explanations about the perverted doctrine of Nestorius he says in this letter: ''I had till now no quarrel with him and wish him betterment; but for supporting my enemies he shall give answer before God. No wonder if the dirtiest persons of the city, Chairemon, Victor and others, speak ill of me. May he, who incites them, learn that I have no fears about a journey or about answering them.

We can, however, hardly assume that the characteristics we discussed were the cause of Nestorius' unhappy fate. For he enjoyed the favour of the court as long as he lived in Constantinople and even longer, and his enemies never pretended, as far as I know, that his guilt rested in his personal character. His enemies condemned him for his teaching. It is, therefore, his teaching that we must examine. Nestorius was an Antiochian as regards his theological upbringing. I do not believe that he was a personal pupil of [[Author:Theodore of Mopsuestia|Theodore of Mopsuestia]]—the chronology contradicts this, and there are no convincing arguments for this assumption<ref>Comp. {{sp|Walch}}, {{lang|de|''Ketzerhistorie''}} {{sc|v}}, 315&nbsp;f.</ref>. But that he was educated in the traditions of the Antiochian school is without doubt. The Antiochian Christology is most easily comprehended, if we contrast it with Apollinarism, condemned by the church about fifty years before Nestorius became bishop of Constantinople.

We gather from [[Author:Giuseppe Simone Assemani|Assemani]] and [[Author:Gregory Bar Hebraeus|Bar-Hebraeus]] that after several untoward experiences in the election of their Patriarchs, who were speedily removed by death, all the Christians in {{sc|a.d.}} 852 committed the choice to Abraham bin Noah, who nominated Ishoʿdad. But Bochtjesoʿ, the physician of the Caliph Mutawakkil, persuaded his master to appoint Theodosius, and the Christians rejoiced in the interest which the prince condescended to shew in their affairs. Abraham tried in vain to move him in Ishoʿdad's favour. It was not long before certain Arians gained the ear of the prince, and prejudiced him against both Bochtjesoʿ and the new Patriarch, saying that they were conspiring with the Greeks. The latter was summoned to Baghdad, where he was kept in chains for three years, and excommunicated Bochtjesoʿ. A severe persecution of the Christians followed. We may hope that Ishoʿdad had reason to consider himself more fortunate than his rival. He wrote Commentaries on most of the books of both Testaments. Assemani expressly mentions the Pentateuch, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, David (the Psalms), Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Canticles, and Job, all of which books were supposed by the Syrians to have been translated into their language in the time of Solomon, at the request of his friend Hiram king of Tyre. It is now nearly seven years since [[Author:James Rendel Harris|Dr Rendel Harris]] suggested that I might edit Ishoʿdad's Commentary on the Gospels; and the printing has gone on for six years and a half. I have had three manuscripts to work from; one in the Cambridge University Library, which I have named Codex C a still better one, kindly lent me by the Rev. [[Author:David Samuel Margoliouth|Professor D. Margoliouth]] of Oxford, which I have called Codex M; and a transcript of a MS. now at Ooroomiah, lent me by Dr Rendel Harris.

This reference may perhaps help us to identify the exact position of Newtown. It has already been pointed out that Ishoʿdad interpreted both the Old and New Testaments. With the former we are not concerned here; indeed I have never come across any copy of his comments on the Pentateuch<ref>I think there is one amongst the recent acquisitions at the British Museum.</ref>. But with regard to the New Testament, there is no doubt that besides the volumes which illustrated the Gospel and are here reproduced, he wrote a series of annotations upon the Acts and the Pauline Epistles. A copy of these latter commentaries was, until recently, in my possession (Cod. Syr. Harris 60), having been transcribed for me in the East in the year 1893. It is now in the Library of the Semitic Museum at Harvard University. It was copied, I believe, in Ooroomiah<ref>Probably its archetype may be found in Cod. 9 of the Ooroomiah Library (American Mission), which is described in their catalogue as {{syriac|ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܥܠ ܚܕܬܐ}}, the author being identified as Ishoʿdad.</ref>. Another copy, perhaps from the same archetype, is found at the end of the MS. in my possession which Mrs Gibson has used for her text (Cod. Syr. Harris 130). This MS. is also now transferred to the Harvard Library. Besides Prof. Margoliouth's copy and the one in the Sachau collection, I have come across traces of a copy amongst the Syrians of Southern India, but have not succeeded in obtaining a copy of it. In view of the loans which Ishoʿdad makes from earlier writers, especially [[Author:Ephrem the Syrian|Ephrem]] and [[Author:Theodore of Mopsuestia|Theodore]], it would be well to have the commentaries upon the Acts and Pauline epistles published. They would not be as interesting or important as Ephrem's commentaries on the Pauline Epistles (preserved in Armenian), but they would be sure to furnish valuable matter to the student of the Syriac literary tradition. We come now to the authors quoted by Ishoʿdad in the Gospel commentaries; for it is in this direction that his great value lies. It was the observation made by [[Author:Richard James Horatio Gottheil|Prof. Gottheil]]<ref>''Journal of Biblical Literature and Exegesis'', Vol. {{sc|xii.}} 1892, Pt i. pp. 68—71.</ref> and [[Author:Isaac Hollister Hall|Dr Isaac H.

Matthew says 'Nor even a staff,' {{syriac|ܕܐܦܠܐ ܫܒܛܐ}} but Mark here, 'Save a staff only,' {{syriac|ܐܢ ܠܐ ܫܒܛܐ}}: our Lord signifies this, that from others to whom they should go they should take nothing; that these might not suppose that they were sent for trade: that He might show that He is supplying all that they require; therefore this of Mark is not contrary to that of Matthew; because both of them admonish not to borrow from others, lest they should appear covetous; for they are not prevented from taking from their houses, because they need these things on the way: viz. a ''stick'' {{syriac|ܚܘܛܪܐ}} for leaning on, and ''sandals'' {{syriac|ܛܠܪ̈ܐ}} for the hardness of the road, and the thorns. Others say that because Matthew had formerly been a publican, and had experienced the hardness of the passion of covetousness, he fitly removed them from this passion. Others say that in both of them they are forbidden a stick, and they read that ''Ell Alla'' which is interpreted ''not even'': {{c|{{syriac|ܘܩܪܘ ܠܣܘ ܐܸܠܵܐ ܐܲܠܐ ܕܡܪܓܡ ܐܦܠܐ}}}}}}}} Here Ishoʿdad does not seem to be explaining the Old Syriac. He has before him the same difficulty in the Peshiṭta text as we have in the Greek; viz. that Matt, says the disciple is not to take a staff, and Mark says he is to take nothing except a staff: the same Syriac word {{syriac|ܫܒܛܐ}} in either case for {{polytonic|ῥάβδον}}. The first explanation which he gives is a piece of exegetical subtlety: one is not to take a staff, in the sense of taking one from someone else (Matthew's doctrine); but you may take one from your own house, and in fact it is necessary (Mark's doctrine): similarly for the sandals. To which is added a perversely ingenious remark that Matthew was the proper person to preach against covetousness. Then comes the remark that perhaps the difficulty has arisen from a misunderstanding of an unpointed Syriac text, which could be read either {{c|''and not a staff'' or ''except a staff.''}} It is not quite clear whether the MS. of Ishoʿdad has the correct pointing: should it not be {{c|'And they read Alla Ellō' which is translated {{polytonic|μηδέ}}?}} In this explanation Ishoʿdad really appears to be on the right track: it is one of the commonest confusions in Syriac, to have the two senses<noinclude>{{block center|{{rh|{{asc|G.

And we say against them, that if he left these out on account of their wickedness, then why does he mention those wicked people, Ahaz, and Manasseh, etc.? and if it were thus, it would have been right first not to mention Joram, because he took the wicked wife; it was in his power not to take [her]; whereas those people had no means of not being born of such. However the ''Interpreter'' says that it was an error of a careless scribe, {{right sidenote|{{fine|'''G. B. p. 59'''}}}} and it was not the Evangelist who left it out, because the similarity and proximity of the name caused him to put instead of Ahazia, Uzzia, because there is no ''ain'' nor any ''heth'' in Greek, but instead of both of them he wrote ''alif'' {{syriac|.ܬ.ܓ.ܓ.ܬ..ܚܬ.}} for they are both equal in the number of letters and in form. Nor did he do this in order to measure the number {{right sidenote|f. 6 a}} of fourteen generations from David until the carrying away to Babylon, for behold while from the carrying away to Babylon until the Christ there were thirteen generations, it does not prevent him from saying that there were fourteen, as it was not about the sum of the numbers that it mattered to him in the division of the generations into three parts, but they say it {{right sidenote|p. {{syriac|ܝܗ}}}} was an error of the scribe; whilst others say that the Evangelist, forsooth, wished to leave them out, and it is clear that unless the Evangelist left them out, he would not say at the conclusion that from David to the carrying away to Babylon were fourteen generations, but rather eighteen; for behold also in the last part, between Salathiel and Zorobabel he leaves out {{right sidenote|{{fine|'''1 Chron. 3. 19''' ''Peshiṭta''<br>'''G. B. p.&nbsp;62'''}}}} one, that is to say, Nedabia, that he may fix the number of fourteen with Mary and the Christ, because that Mary has come into the generations instead of her father. And it is clear also that the Evangelist left them out, from this, that his book was in existence in Caesarea of Palestine, and everyone acknowledges that he wrote it with his hands in Hebrew<ref>C Greek.</ref>; and these names are not in it; and we say also, that Athalia was not the daughter of Jezebel, but the daughter of Omri. And because the Evangelist knew what a wrong idea there was among the people about these names, because of that he left them out. Nevertheless that idea of the ''Interpreter'' the whole school receives. Let us say now, why Matthew said that {{right sidenote|{{fine|'''G. B. p.&nbsp;59'''}}}} Josia begat Jeconia and his brethren. But Josia did not beget Jeconia, but Jehoahaz, him that was called Shaleem, and Eliakim, him that was called Jehoiakim, and Mathia, who was called by Nebuchadnezzar Zedekia.

The speculative question as to how this was to be conceived did not occupy the western church; the doctrine of two natures meant here nothing more than that only afterwards one discerned in this one person the two natures; and the presupposition of the oneness of the person of him who was God and man together was here regarded without any efforts of thought as so certain, that because of this oneness of the person the phrases {{lang|la|''deus natus est''}} and {{lang|la|''crucifixus est''}} were used in early times<ref>Tertullian, {{lang|la|''de carne Christi''}} 5; Damasus, {{lang|la|''epigramma''}} 91, ed.

"Hitherto all systems of political and social philosophy have revolved around one principle; namely, the interests of existing individuals." There is going on now, a shifting of the centre of significance in the evolutionary hypothesis. "It is not the interests of those existing individuals, but the interests of the future" that make the new centre of significance. Up to the time of Mr. Kidd, evolutionary philosophers supposed that the fittest who survived in the struggle for life were those who best adapted themselves to the conditions of a present environment. This is still necessary but another factor is now added — adaptation to a future environment. Thus the " efficiency " which makes for survival is " projected " into the future. This, in a nutshell, is Mr. Kidd's discovery. The "winning qualities in the evolutionary process are those by which the interests of the existing individuals have been most effectively subordinated to those of the generations yet to be born." This enables Mr. Kidd to present a striking antinomy. Between the interests of the present and the interests of the future there is an irreconcilable break. A sacrifice of the former to the latter is demanded. Yet this demand must not impair efficiency in the present. Just how Mr. Kidd would sacrifice the present without impairing present efficiency, he does not make clear, however. The future must be "born out of a free conflict of forces such as has never been in the world before." Here Mr. Kidd makes one feel he is walking on solid ground. He sees that the ideal toward which the world is being carried "is that of a fair, open, and free rivalry of all the forces within the social consciousness — a rivalry in which the best organizations, the best methods, the best skill, the best abilities, the best government, and the best standards of action and belief, shall have the right of universal opportunity. ...

He demands "a free conflict of forces towards equality of conditions, of rights and of opportunities." But, he insists, that is not the freedom of unregulated competition sought by the Manchester School of political economy. The doctrine of laissez-faire competition means a free fight in which unscrupulousness gains the day, choking all competition, bringing us " to the now universal tendency in modern industry to monopoly ownership, with the resulting accumulation of vast private fortunes through the enforced disadvantage of classes, of whole communities, and even of entire nations." From the period of remorseless monopoly, now upon us, Mr. Kidd hopefully points to an "era in which increments in the private ownership of the instruments and materials of production which are unearned in terms of social utility shall form part of a common inheritance to which the energies and abilities of the individual shall be applied in conditions tending towards equal economic opportunity." This is the only really free competition. It will mean "the gradual organization and direction through the state of the activities of industry and production." This looks like Socialism, but Mr. Kidd has nothing in common with the current proposals of confiscation, and the regimentation of society. It is to be reached by the survival of those who adapt themselves to the conditions of this nobler future. Natural selection will destroy all opposing individuals and tendencies. Would that we could share this faith! But whether or not Mr. Kidd is the Moses to lead us out of the wilderness of present conditions into that Promised Land where all will enjoy equal opportunities, he, at least, is a prophet, holding up an ideal, and spurring us on to its attainment. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 79yyc9cbrb15v3xte8zrcinutemvhc7 Page:The Green Bag (1889–1914), Volume 14.pdf/473 104 2785389 12508063 10019422 2022-07-25T07:21:32Z BD2412 1511 scanno proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="James500" /></noinclude>{{rh|430|''The Green Bag''|}} part of February.

He seems to have acknowledged the religion of the Hebrews as well as those of Persia and Greece, but his fundamental doctrines appear to have been Egyptian; indeed, there is little doubt that he was a priest or magician of Egypt and that he lived during the second century of the Christian era, or at no great distance of time from that period. His work is among the oldest of its kind and connects the Gnostic heresy with the ancient Egyptian religion, while it affords us some insight into what must have been the magic of the days of the Pharaohs. The papyrus consists of a series of invocations accompanied by directions. The first of these, entitled "a Sarapian divination," is directed to be wrought by help of "a boy, with a lamp, a bowl, and a pit," and it is related that a throne should be seen to be brought in. These and other like particulars, coupled with the manner in which this mode of divination is said to have been conducted, on other ancient authority, indicates, as the editor observes, a very similar performance to that which Mr. Lane describes in his Modern Egyptians (vol. ii. c. xii.), as practised at the present day in Egypt. It is not a little remarkable that this magical rite should have continued in use throughout a period of near two thousand years, if not for a far longer time, while Egyyt has twice changed its religion and once its language, so that superstition has survived nationality. Passing over the second and third divinations as of minor importance, we find in the fourth the magician calling himself Moses, and invoking the God of Israel in words that indicate some acquaintance with the history and literature of the Hebrews. In the tenth, likewise, we find a similar incantation. Both are evidences that the magicians thought all religions serviceable, and were unwilling to alter foreign names, as one of the Zoroastrian precepts commands not to change barbarous names, for that they had a great efficacy in the mysteries. When they did not use foreign names, they called on those whom they wished to propitiate, in a strange series of meaningless words, chiefly formed of the vowels, of which we find many examples here. The remaining invocations are curious and well deserving a careful examination. Perhaps the most remarkable of them is that wherein the magician threatens to divulge the most hidden mysteries, and otherwise pretends to terrify the gods, calling himself Thoth, the Egyptian Hermes, that he may obtain what he desires. Porphyry ridicules this kind of magic in his letter to Anebo, but it appears to have been very prevalent among the so-called philosophers of that time who were addicted to magic, and recalls to mind the menaces which have been offered in other countries and later times to persons held sacred and their images.

He seems to have acknowledged the religion of the Hebrews as well as those of Persia and Greece, but his fundamental doctrines appear to have been Egyptian; indeed, there is little doubt that he was a priest or magician of Egypt and that he lived during the second century of the Christian era, or at no great distance of time from that period. His work is among the oldest of its kind and connects the Gnostic heresy with the ancient Egyptian religion, while it affords us some insight into what must have been the magic of the days of the Pharaohs. The papyrus consists of a series of invocations accompanied by directions. The first of these, entitled "a Sarapian divination," is directed to be wrought by help of "a boy, with a lamp, a bowl, and a pit," and it is related that a throne should be seen to be brought in. These and other like particulars, coupled with the manner in which this mode of divination is said to have been conducted, on other ancient authority, indicates, as the editor observes, a very similar performance to that which Mr. Lane describes in his Modern Egyptians (vol. ii. c. xii.), as practised at the present day in Egypt. It is not a little remarkable that this magical rite should have continued in use throughout a period of near two thousand years, if not for a far longer time, while Egyyt has twice changed its religion and once its language, so that superstition has survived nationality. Passing over the second and third divinations as of minor importance, we find in the fourth the magician calling himself Moses, and invoking the God of Israel in words that indicate some acquaintance with the history and literature of the Hebrews. In the tenth, likewise, we find a similar incantation. Both are evidences that the magicians thought all religions serviceable, and were unwilling to alter foreign names, as one of the Zoroastrian precepts commands not to change barbarous names, for that they had a great efficacy in the mysteries. When they did not use foreign names, they called on those whom they wished to propitiate, in a strange series of meaningless words, chiefly formed of the vowels, of which we find many examples here. The remaining invocations are curious and well deserving a careful examination. Perhaps the most remarkable of them is that wherein the magician threatens to divulge the most hidden mysteries, and otherwise pretends to terrify the gods, calling himself Thoth, the Egyptian Hermes, that he may obtain what he desires. Porphyry ridicules this kind of magic in his letter to Anebo, but it appears to have been very prevalent among the so-called philosophers of that time who were addicted to magic, and recalls to mind the menaces which have been offered in other countries and later times to persons held sacred and their images. We cannot conclude without expressing a hope that Mr. Goodwin, and others as well qualified for the task, will continue the investigation of this remarkable subject, and lay fresh material before the public. {{right|{{asc|R.

They present a wide field for investigation and speculation. The reader, who may be curious to learn something of its extent, or of their history, may consult with advantage the treatise contained in the fourth volume of the ''Nouveau Traité de Diplomatique''. The medieval use of them, originally in the form of rings, so convenient for an unlettered age and race, may be traced to an early period of the Frankish and Germanic history. But among the Anglo-Saxons the general practice of authenticating writings, even the most formal and important, was by signing them with a cross. Edward the Confessor, however, had a seal, and other instances of Anglo-Saxon seals have been alleged, which some antiquaries have regarded with suspicion; and it is foreign to the present purpose to enter upon the question of their authenticity.

If the designation of any head should, from its brevity, seem obscure, probably such obscurity will be dissipated on calling to mind, that no head is intended to comprise what is clearly comprehended under any other which is numbered in the same series. For a purpose of this kind, it is not unreasonable, and has been found most convenient, to ''assume'' all seals to be lay which do not show themselves to be otherwise; and therefore the term "lay seals" has been made to comprise all seals that do not appear to be ecclesiastical; and in this sense these words must be understood in the last division of that class. {{right|{{asc|W.

The Priory was a cell to the Abbey of Westminster. The impression, from which the accompanying illustration has been taken, is appended to a deed whereby Prior Alexander and the convent granted their manor in Harefield, Middlesex, to Richard Weltekart of Louth (de Luda), Thomas his son, and Florence the wife of the same Thomas, to hold to them and the heirs of Thomas, of the chief lords of the fee, by the accustomed services, for ever. It was found by Mr. William F. Vernon amongst the evidences pertaining to his estate at Harefield, and communicated, by his kind permission, to the Institute. The deed is without date, but it may be assigned to the reign of the first or second Edward.

When the seal was not thus covered, other devices were adopted to preserve the fragile wax. A rush ring surrounding the impression was not unfrequently used. Sometimes neat bands of plaited paper were employed for this purpose; leaves of trees—the beech, the bay, and the oak—were also placed over the seals to keep them from injury.<ref>Kalendars of Exch., Introd., vol. i., p. cxxxvii.</ref> The example given by Sir Francis, in the plates of Illustrations, is of rather late date. It occurs on a letter (written upon paper) from James IV. of Scotland to Henry VII., dated July 12, 1502. The seal is encircled by a twist of rush, like the torse of a crest.<ref>Paston Letters, orig. edit., vol. ii., pl. xiv.</ref> This peculiar usage commenced possibly rather earlier than has been stated by the eminent antiquary above cited. Specimens are not wanting from about 1380 to the reign of Henry VIII. It prevailed chiefly during the reign of Henry IV. and the two succeeding sovereigns. Several curious examples are given in the plates accompanying the Paston Letters; for instance, the seals of John, Lord Lovell, t. Henry VI., of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, and of William Yelverton, about 1450.<ref>Archæologia, vol. xxx., p. 545, pl. xxiii.</ref> Another specimen is pointed out by Sir Frederic Madden. It occurs on a warrant signed by Edward V., and countersigned by the Duke of Gloucester as Protector. It is dated 1483. The impression is unfortunately lost, but the torse of rush remains which had encircled it.<ref>Ibid., pl. iv.</ref> It has been observed, that seals protected by this "fender" of rush, to prevent the wax being flattened by pressure, are of more frequent occurrence affixed to a plain surface, such as a sheet of paper, than as appended seals, such as that here represented. It is probable that the practice originated with the use of seals thus applied, and their liability to injury by pressure. The document which has supplied this interesting example was communicated by Dr. Kidd, through the kindness of the President of Trinity College, the Rev. J. Wilson. It is a letter of attorney from John Hampdene, of Hampdene, Richard Restwolde, and Andrew Sperlynge, to John Uptone and John Whytynge, to receive seisin of the manors of Nortone (Somerset), Connoke (Wilts), and Ramrugge (Hants), according to the form and effect of a certain writing from William de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, to them, John Hampdene, Richard and Andrew.

Examples with six members, instead of four or eight, are still more rare, as No. 7. Some irregular varieties, as Nos. 4 and 8, can hardly be reduced to any rule. These remains are also interesting as shewing the early use of head-stones with the sacred symbol cut upon them, being probably among the oldest examples yet discovered in this country, and in greater number and variety than has yet been noticed. Of these head-stones, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, are in Mr. Bateman's possession; they are rudely cut, and appear to be of very early date. No. 4 is an ancient form of the cross, of which probably the device upon No. 16 of the flat grave-stones may be considered to be a modification, and of which many examples, both with and without circular bands, and with a great variety in the detail of their ornaments, may be observed in Norman carved work; as in St. Peter's church at Northampton, before alluded to, the nave of Rochester cathedral, and some other of the older churches. It would be an interesting subject for enquiry, whether this form of cross, which resembles what is commonly called a St. Andrew's cross, may have had its origin in the Greek letter X, as used in the abbreviation of the name of our Lord from a very remote period. It is certainly remarkable that the device which is cut upon a large portion of the earlier tombs in the catacombs at Rome is not the cross, but the sacred monogram, composed of X and P, the two first letters of {{polytonic|Χριστος}}. And in some later examples a kind of short shaft is added, so as to resemble in some measure the form of the cross, and the whole figure surrounded by a wreath or circle. Nos. 2, 6, have the same device on both sides. No. 7 is represented somewhat too large, being about the size of No. 6. These stones have been considered as head-stones, because it seemed most probable they had been used for that purpose. It ought however to be stated, that about the period to which they maybe referred, crosses were sometimes placed at the foot of the grave as well as at the head. Some examples of head-stones, with inscriptions upon them as early as the sixth or seventh century, are said to exist in Ireland. {{right|{{asc|F. C.

The bailiff having thus failed to obtain redress for the petitioners, they went on the following Thursday to Stafford to shew their grievance, but there, posted at the gates, were followers of the robbers, who would not suffer them to enter the town, and from whom they scarcely escaped without grievous harm. In conclusion William Drakelowe and Richard Hormiglowe represent, that they and many of the Lichfield folk are so menaced by the said robbers and their maintainers that they dare not venture out of the town. Into all which matters they pray the earl of Arundel to cause enquiry to be made at his first session at Lichfield, the felony having been committed within the franchise of the bishop of Chester.

The abbat and canons of Oseney had a portion of tithes here, small indeed, as being worth at the Dissolution only 10s. per annum, but sufficient to give them an interest in the place, and justify their application to Richard, or a less wealthy proprietor, for assistance in raising the house of God. And as no traces of an established ecclesiastical benefice appear, it is probable that the cure was served, as was not unusual, by members of their house; and that those who rest under the three tombstones, yet remaining within the limits of the walls of the edifice, may have been chaplains who ended their days in the performance of their duties on the spot. It should be observed that the greater part of the encaustic pavement was not set as before an altar, but between the tombstones represented; many smaller fragments being found dispersed.

Mention may also be made of a sort of small west towers, which may be considered as intermediate between bell-turrets and regular towers; the west wall of the church is carried up and forms the west side of the tower, but the other three sides are carried up only from the roof of the church, and supported within on tall and slender piers and arches ; these have been frequently introduced at a date subsequent to that of the church, as at Wood-Eaton and Black-Bourton, Oxfordshire; but sometimes this arrangement is original, as at Nun-Monkton, Yorkshire, a very beautiful specimen of Early English work. In this instance there are three lancet windows in the west end, the centre the highest, carried up into the tower, and opening within under a very tall tower-arch, the two side windows also opening within on each side of the piers of this arch; there being no aisles the effect is singular, but must have been strikingly beautiful when perfect.

Thus, in 1462, there are entries of 1''s''. having been paid to a man for riding to Winchester "to warn the mayor of the fleet of schyppys that were under the ''Wyth'', (Wight);" of a pipe of wine sent to the "erle of Kent, that time he hied to seward," (towards the sea,) which cost 3''l''. 6''s''. 8''d''.; of the cost of a guild dinner, in the early part of the reign of Edward IV., which amounted to 2''l''. 2''s''. 10{{sfrac|2|font-size=60%}}''d''.; and of various presents made to the king (Edward IV.) and principal nobility, to the former a hogshead of red and white wine, which cost respectively 1''l''. 3''s''. 4''d''. and 16''s''. 8''d''., a gallon of Ypocras 2''s''. 8''d''.; to Lord Rivers, two gallons of white wine and the same quantity of red wine, which was valued at 2''s''. 8''d''. There is also a note, that 2''l''. 12''s''. 6''d''. was expended by the mayor and his retinue when, in 1469, "he rode to London, to reckon with the erle of Warwick, and was there twelve days." I will add only the following notices, extracted from some of the miscellaneous papers, which do not seem strictly to fall under any of the heads under which I have arranged my previous selections. One of them relates to the suspicion, against a widow, of witchcraft, 1579, on which occasion an order was given "that five or six honest matrons doe see her stripped, to the end to see whether she have any bludy mark on her body, which is a common token to know all witches by." In 1577, a charge is preferred against the brewers, and they "are commanded to use no more iron-bound carts, for that it is great decay not only of the paved streate, but also causeth his beere to work uppe, in such sort that as his barrel seemeth to be full when they are brought, and when they are settled, they lack, some a gallon of beer and some more, to the enriching of the brewers, and the great defayte and hindrance of the town."

Amongst the valuable effects of Henry V., according to the inventory taken A.D. 1423, are enumerated a musk-ball of gold, weighing eleven ounces, and another of silver-gilt. At a later period the pomander was very commonly worn as the pendant of a lady's girdle: a receipt for compounding it may be found in the "Treasury of Commodious Conceits," 1586<ref>See Privy Purse expenses of the Princess Mary, edited by Sir F. Madden. The derivation of the word pomander is noticed by Minsheu and Skinner. Elyot renders ''diapasma'', "a swete perfume or pomeambre." Librarie. 1542.</ref>. The ''peres de Eagle'' were the stones called ætites, supposed to be found in the nest of the eagle, to which various medicinal and talismanic properties were attributed, especially during child-birth. The wooden table "painted for an altar" among the effects of Alianore de Bohun is worthy of remark: it formed a part of the moveable chapel-furniture (''capella'') which persons of rank took with them on their journeys, or used when through infirmity, the badness of roads, or some other cause valid in those days, they were prevented from attending public worship. Licenses to use such portable altars are of frequent occurrence on the older episcopal registers<ref>They are very numerous in the registers at York.</ref>. I am not cognisant of an earlier mention of coral than that which occurs in this inventory; the Paternoster of coral with gilded ''gaudeez''<ref>The larger beads. One of the same material is named in the will of Eleanor de Bohun, duchess of Gloucester, in 1399.</ref>, which belonged to Margaret de Bohun, and the three branches of coral which Alianore possessed, are the instances to which I refer. The library of the carl of Hereford consisted of only one secular volume, but one that was in great repute in his age; the book which the fabulous king Boctus caused to be written on all the sciences by the equally fabulous Sydrac<ref>Printed by Verard in 1586. See also Les Manuscrits François de la Bibliothèque du Roi, par Paulin Paris, vi. p. 14. There are several MSS. of this work in the British Museum.</ref>. The collection of books for the service of the chapel of Denney is very complete, and among other furniture there may be noticed the cloths for covering the lettern or lectron. In conclusion I would observe, that the portions of the Inventory which are omitted, enumerate merely rings, brooches, and other articles of jewellery and plate, which, although they shew the wealth of the Bohun family, are common to similar documents as well of earlier as of later date. {{float right|{{asc|T.

Every one of these singular people, both rich and poor, are said to have a garden; the latter, if possible, both in front as well as in the rear of their cottages. In them they cultivate the plum and the cherry, not for the fruit, but for the flower. By a peculiar treatment they improve them so much as to make the flowers become as large as roses. Indeed it is stated that plum blossoms have been seen four times the size of our common cabbage roses. In the season, when they are in full blossom, these trees afford a delightful sight in the gardens, and about the temples, and public walks. They also practise the art of dwarfing trees to a great extent. Le Baron Léon de St. Denys, in his work entitled “Recherches sur L’Agriculture et L’Horticulture des Chinois,” Paris, 1850, contains some valuable information on the method of producing these interesting and miniature plants. The system is not confined to a few sorts of plants, for they can dwarf all. A box was offered for sale in which were flourishing a fir-tree, a bamboo, and a plum-tree, the latter in blossom. The box was only three inches long and one inch wide. 1,200 florins was asked for it. The florin varies so much that I am not aware what this would amount to in English money. Another very small box contained miniature specimens of every tree that grows on the Japan Islands. They also enlarge their trees in an extraordinary manner. For instance, when the branches of some of them spring to the height of seven or eight feet from the ground, they are led out across ponds and supported on props, so as to afford a shade and covering of 300 feet in circumference. The Japanese also pay great attention to their forest trees. They do not allow either their firs or cypress-trees to be cut down without the permission of the local magistrate. The cedars grow to a large size, some of them being eighteen feet in girth: Sir Edward Belcher, when making his surveys in the Japanese seas, was supplied with a quantity of spars, all of cedar, which measured ninety-six feet in length. All the temples in Japan are approached through thick avenues of evergreen trees. I think it was Pope who said that a tree was a nobler object than a prince in his coronation robes. This appears to have been the idea of the Japanese, from the care they take of them. They also enjoy that soft, fascinating, and what may be called poetical odour, which emanates from groves of cypress, clumps of cedar, and other evergreen trees. This odour may be considered as a natural, living, and growing incense offered up to Heaven at all seasons of the year, and at all times, by night as well as by day. We are indebted to the Japanese for our beautiful camellias, and I am not sure whether this is not the case with my favourite Pœonia Moutan, or Chinese Peony, as representations of it may be seen on some of the Japan fans. It is certainly not indigenous at, or propagated in Canton, from which place, however, most of our varieties have been imported. It will always hold the first rank amongst flowers. It is a curious fact, that almost all the plants we have hitherto derived from Japan are either hardy or nearly so. For instance, the Pyrus Japonica is not only a beautiful but perfectly hardy shrub, and it is to be wondered at that it is not oftener planted as a protective hedge in flower and kitchen gardens, instead of Hornbeam or Laurel. There is another very pretty shrub in Japan, called the Subacki, and I am not aware whether it has yet found its way into this country. It grows to rather a large size, and bears flowers not unlike large roses. The Japanese are said to give 900 different names to the varieties of this plant. It is to be hoped that increased intercourse with this singular people will add considerably to the riches of our flower gardens. This, however, is not likely as long as their trade is restricted to the Dutch. They are an honourable but very jealous nation, and attribute the late and present disastrous state of China to their having admitted strangers into their country for the purpose of trade. The consequence is that at present Japan may be considered as shut up from the rest of the world, and we are chiefly indebted to Dutch merchants for what little we know of it, and from whose writings some of these extracts have been taken. At all events, they appear a happy and contented people, strictly honest, and their wives and daughters eminently virtuous. They abound with schools for their children. Their cottages are picturesque, and few gardens are without a small rivulet, which, by the use of little contrivances, they make a source of enjoyment, as well as of beauty, by means of rocks and stones. It is evident, however, that they consider trees as among the most ornamental objects of scenery, and, as we have seen, they cultivate them with the greatest care. Indeed, what would our English scenery be, with its rivers, hills, and rocks, without the accompaniment of groups of trees? It is probable that this interesting country will soon be better known, and that steam will be productive of that intercourse which cannot but end in our mutual advantage. Those who have read the interesting works of Mr. Fortune on China, will see what great progress the inhabitants of that country have made in floriculture. They, like the Japanese, dwarf plants, and by a curious process of grafting, produce an immense quantity of the Chinese Peony, one of the finest and most beautiful flowers imported into this country. With a little winter protection, they will flourish well in this country, especially if planted in a rich loam. Some have grown from six to eight feet in height, and formed a bush from eight to ten feet in diameter. {{right|{{sc|Edward Jesse.}}|2em}} <section end="s1" /> {{rule|width=20em}} <section begin="s2" /> {{c|{{larger|THE DIRGE OF ADONIS.}}}} {{c|({{fine|FROM THE GREEK OF BION.}})}} {{dhr|175%}} {{block center/s|width=34.5em}} <poem> {{sc|Ai}}! ai! wail for Adonis!—the young Loves wail for him, ai! ai!

Over the old oaken sideboard was a bust of Scott, and near it engravings of the Queen and the royal children, given by her Majesty. <p style="margin-bottom:1.1%">The rarest piece of furniture in the room was an old almery carved over with circles emblematic of the Trinity and the monogram I. H. S. It bore this inscription:</p> {{block center|width=85%|{{fine block|Hoc opus fiebat anno Domino {{smaller|M.CCCXXV.}} ex sumtu Wilhelmi Wordesworth filii W. Fil. Joh. Fil. W. Fil.

Hush! here is a room which has never been opened for months. Here William Wordsworth died; and here died Mary Wordsworth, in a calm and good old age. The room is of an austere simplicity: on that sofa Wordsworth was lifted out to die: and in a niche close to the window is the cross which blind old Mrs. Wordsworth asked to feel before she died. “Vale, vale, iterumque valete.” <p style="margin-bottom:1.1%">Let us pass into the garden, which glossy laurels make all the year cheerful. To the right a terrace leads to an arbour lined with fir-cones and overhung with pines. You pass along a winding walk, and there the little lake shines below in all its beauty. In spring, daffodils light the ground at your feet, and you hear the wild dove “brooding over his soft voice” in the woods below. Below is a garden flush with anemonies, and below that a field which bears the name of the poet’s daughter. There are the trees which he planted, and his favourite flowers. Over a little pool in which some golden fish were set free, an oak, all knotted and gnarled, hangs. In one of its arms grows a mountain ash and a holly. Everything in the grounds sings of liberty, and a mossy stone records a wish we cannot but echo:—</p> {{block center|{{fine block|{{ditto|When here the|}}Time will come<br /> When here the tender-hearted<br /> May heave a gentle sigh for him<br /> As one of the departed.}}}} {{right|{{sc|Thomas Blackburne.}}|2em}} <section end="s1" /> {{rule|20em}} <section begin="s2" /> {{c|{{larger|BARON JAUÏOZ.}}<br />({{fine|FROM THE BRETON.}})}} {{dhr|175%}} {{block center/s|width=25em}} <poem>{{sc|As}} I was washing, the stream hard by, {{gap|1em}}Sudden I heard the death-bird’s cry. {{fqm|“}}Wot you, Tina, the story goes, {{gap|1em}}You are sold to the Lord of Jauïoz?” {{fqm|“}}Is’t true, dear mother, the thing I’m told? {{gap|1em}}Is’t true that to Lord Jauïoz I’m sold?” {{fqm|“}}My poor little darling, nought I know,— {{gap|1em}}Go, ask your father if this be so.” {{fqm|“}}Father, dear father, say is it true {{gap|1em}}That Lord Jauïoz I am sold unto?” {{fqm|“}}My darling daughter, nought I know, {{gap|1em}}Go, ask your brother if it be so.” {{fqm|“}}Lannick, my brother, oh, tell me, pray! {{gap|1em}}Am I sold to that Lord the people say?” {{fqm|“}}You are sold to that Lord the people say, {{gap|1em}}You must up and ride without delay; You must up and ride to his castle straight, {{gap|1em}}For your price has been paid by tale and weight: Fifty crowns of the silver white, {{gap|1em}}And as many crowns of the gold so bright.” {{fqm|“}}Now tell me, tell me, mother dear, {{gap|1em}}What clothes is’t fitting I should wear?

Here is the ship’s track on the map. The men and women there dress according to this pattern which I show. The skies the people see are so and so. Their fields are thus and thus. Their houses are built in this style. In that land the tea we use is got. The fact of tea being the leaf of a plant, prepared after such and such a fashion, can form no difficulty which you cannot easily conceive removed by reference to plants within reach.” “Analogy, then,” we observe, satisfied with our light, “is your main dependence. You show how the things and persons they know resemble or differ from those you desire to teach them about. Now, what do you do with all these children when they grow up?” “Oh, as to that,” he adds, in a changed voice, as if dismounted from his hobby, which was evidently the schoolwork, “they are fit for most of the common handicraft employments by which men make a living. It is sometimes difficult to get one apprenticed, undoubtedly; but a fair proportion of them afterwards do well, and support themselves creditably.” “Deaf persons are very eccentric, are they not?” we inquire. “As how?” he asks. “I have heard very curious stories of them,” we reply, “as to their inquisitiveness, and odd ways they take to gratify it. I have been told, too, that they prefer their condition, and would rather not be made to hear.” “Ask one of them,” observes our Mentor. The question is written—“Whether would you be made able to hear or remain deaf?” In a moment the boy underlines the words—''able to hear''. “The fact is,” the master proceeds improving the subject, “that deaf human beings are very similar to others, liking what people commonly like, and disliking what is commonly thought irksome. Now and then odd tastes may show themselves, but whatever is odd—whatever departs from the common standard by which we regulate preferences and aversions—is exceptional. If a deaf person prefers deafness, his case, to say the least of it, is singular. I never knew or heard of an instance of the kind, and can more easily imagine a mistake as to the spirit (for deaf persons are not devoid of drollery), in which a preference of the sort was expressed, than gravely accept your statement that in a deaf person taste so manifested itself as a fact to be reasoned from.” “What number of persons now in all England may be deaf and dumb?” “Speaking in round numbers, ten thousand.” Surely a class of schools which essays to put into ten thousand poor dumb mouths an available substitute for the speech we with reason prize so much, constitutes a section of England’s educational apparatus deserving proper recognition.

That which interests us most is naturally the progress made by the individual child of our acquaintance, his normal physical development, his advance in ability to read, write, and figure, his growth in the knowledge of geography and history, improvement in manners, habits of promptness, order, and industry—it is from such standards as these that we judge the work of the school. And rightly so. Yet the range of the outlook needs to be enlarged. What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all of its children. Any other ideal for our schools is narrow and unlovely; acted upon, it destroys our democracy. All that society has accomplished for itself is put, through the agency of the school, at the disposal of its future members. All its better thoughts of itself it hopes to realize through the new possibilities thus opened to its future self. Here individualism and socialism are at one.

And in the self-direction thus given, nothing counts as much as the school, for, as Horace Mann said, "Where anything is growing, one former is worth a thousand re-formers." Whenever we have in mind the discussion of a new movement in education, it is especially necessary to take the broader, or social view. Otherwise, changes in the school institution and tradition will be looked at as the arbitrary inventions of particular teachers; at the worst transitory fads, and at the best merely improvements in certain details—and this is the plane upon which it is too customary to consider school changes. It is as rational to conceive of the locomotive or the telegraph as personal devices. The modification going on in the method and curriculum of education is as much a product of the changed social situation, and as much an effort to meet the needs of the new society that is forming, as are changes in modes of industry and commerce. It is to this, then, that I especially ask your attention: the effort to conceive what roughly may be termed the "New Education" in the light of larger changes in society. Can we connect this "New Education" with the general march of events? If we can, it will lose its isolated character, and will cease to be an affair which<noinclude></noinclude> nlrt41e98qd77m40vkjnu40ap7kvgdl Page:The School and Society.djvu/25 104 2885629 12506548 12475118 2022-07-24T14:20:12Z Qq1122qq 1889140 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Qq1122qq" />{{rh||''THE SCHOOL AND SOCIETY''|{{o s|21}}}}</noinclude>proceeds only from the over-ingenious minds of pedagogues dealing with particular pupils. It will appear as part and parcel of the whole social evolution, and, in its more general features at least, as inevitable. Let us then ask after the main aspects of the social movement; and afterwards turn to the school to find what witness it gives of effort to put itself in line. And since it is quite impossible to cover the whole ground, I shall for the most part confine myself to one typical thing in the modern school movement—that which passes under the name of manual training, hoping if the relation of that to changed social conditions appears, we shall be ready to concede the point as well regarding other educational innovations. I make no apology for not dwelling at length upon the social changes in question. Those I shall mention are writ so large that he who runs may read. The change that comes first to mind, the one that overshadows and even controls all others, is the industrial one—the application of science resulting in the great inventions that have utilized the forces of nature on a vast and inexpensive scale: the growth of a world-wide market as the object of production, of vast manufacturing centers to supply this market, of cheap and rapid means of communication and distribution between all its parts.

One can hardly believe there has been a revolution in all history so rapid, so extensive, so complete. Through it the face of the earth is making over, even as to its physical forms; political boundaries are wiped out and moved about, as if they were indeed only lines on a paper map; population is hurriedly gathered into cities from the ends of the earth; habits of living are altered with startling abruptness and thoroughness; the search for the truths of nature is infinitely stimulated and facilitated and their application to life made not only practicable, but commercially necessary. Even our moral and religious ideas and interests, the most conservative because the deepest-lying things in our nature, are profoundly affected. That this revolution should not affect education in other than formal and superficial fashion is inconceivable. Back of the factory system lies the household and neighborhood system. Those of us who are here today need go back only one, two, or at most three generations, to find a time when the household was practically the center in which were carried on, or about which were clustered, all the typical forms of industrial occupation.<noinclude></noinclude> m1eyxgefeohw2qe3jp726jpy8rjsm4g Page:The School and Society.djvu/27 104 2885631 12506553 12475124 2022-07-24T14:22:04Z Qq1122qq 1889140 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Qq1122qq" />{{rh||''THE SCHOOL AND SOCIETY''|{{o s|23}}}}</noinclude>The clothing worn was for the most part not only made in the house, but the members of the household were usually familiar with the shearing of the sheep, the carding and spinning of the wool, and the plying of the loom. Instead of pressing a button and flooding the house with electric light, the whole process of getting illumination was followed in its toilsome length, from the killing of the animal and the trying of fat, to the making of wicks and dipping of candles. The supply of flour, of lumber, of foods, of building materials, of household furniture, even of metal ware, of nails, hinges, hammers, etc., was in the immediate neighborhood, in shops which were constantly open to inspection and often centers of neighborhood congregation. The entire industrial process stood revealed, from the production on the farm of the raw materials, till the finished article was actually put to use. Not only this, but practically every member of the household had his own share in the work. The children, as they gained in strength and capacity, were gradually initiated into the mysteries of the several processes. It was a matter of immediate and personal concern, even to the point of actual participation.

There was always something which really needed to be done, and a real necessity that each member of the household should do his own part faithfully and in coöperation with others. Personalities which became effective in action were bred and tested in the medium of action. Again, we cannot overlook the importance for educational purposes of the close and intimate acquaintance got with nature at first hand, with real things and materials, with the actual processes of their manipulation, and the knowledge of their social necessities and uses. In all this there was continual training of observation, of ingenuity, constructive imagination, of logical thought, and of the sense of reality acquired through first-hand contact with actualities. The educative forces of the domestic spinning and weaving, of the saw-mill, the grist-mill, the cooper shop, and the blacksmith forge, were continuously operative.

Provisions were daily cooked in the booths, one of which, by way of speciality, took the title of “the Roast-beef Booth;” and a whole ox (of which the king and queen are said to have partaken) was roasted on the ice, in an enclosed space, to which the public were admitted on payment. Carts and horses, and horsemen, moved to and fro as upon a high road; and private coaches crossed and re-crossed, amongst them the coach of Mr. Evelyn, which passed over from Lambeth to the horse-ferry at Millbank, and a coach and six which was driven from Whitehall nearly to London Bridge, the day before the ice broke up. Hackneys also plied for hire up and down the available extent of the river, supplying the place of the watermen, who, driven from their legitimate occupation, endeavoured to find employment by dragging boats on the ice, or setting up what the poet just quoted calls “fuddling tents:” {{block center/s|width=22em}}{{fine block/s}} And those that used to ask where shall I land ye?<br /> Now cry, what lack ye, sir, beer, ale, or brandy? {{fine block/e}}{{block center/e}} Several lines or stands of hackneys were established at the different stairs, and the familiar sounds of “Westward, ho!” and “Eastward, ho!” might be heard along the banks, without the professional addition of “Sculler, sir?” “Oars, sir?” The watermen were very sensitive to this usurpation of their calling, and in a ballad in which they afterwards celebrated the “melting of the Thames,” they dwelt with particular satisfaction upon the resumption of those turbulent cries which formed a characteristic feature of the life of the river: {{block center/s}}{{fine block/s}} {{gap|3em}}Let’s tune our throats<br /> {{gap|3em}}To our usual notes,<br /> Of Twitnam, Richmond, hey!<br /> {{gap|3em}}Sir, sculler, sir? oars, sir?<br /> {{gap|3em}}Loudly roar, sir,<br /> Here’s Dick, sir, you won’t pass him by?<br /> {{fine block/e}}{{block center/e}} Bartholomew at its prime was inferior in variety of humours to this “Freezland Fair or Icy Bear Garden,” as it is designated in one of the ballads. There was some humour even in the signs and announcements of the tents. One was the “Horns Tavern,” indicated by the antlers of a stag hoisted over the entrance; another was the “Phœnix, insured against fire as long as the foundation lasted.” The diversions were endless, not the least extraordinary of them being horse and coach races. There were show-booths for rope-dancing, conjuring, and puppet-plays; music booths and lottery booths, a miniature bear-garden, a ring for bull-baiting, close under the Temple Gardens, and not far off might be enjoyed the singular pastime of hunting a fox on the ice, an incident selected for particular admiration by one of the river poets: {{block center/s}}{{fine block/s}} <p>There was fox-hunting on this frozen river,<br /> Which may a memorandum be for ever, <br /> For I do think, since Adam drew his breath, <br /> No fox was hunted on the ice to death.</p> {{fine block/e}}{{block center/e}} {{nop}}<noinclude>{{border/e}}{{border/e}}</noinclude> 7cb38sn6z16336k3s08w4rp9ahxkv2w Page:Notes on the folk-lore of the northern counties of England and the borders.djvu/374 104 2948174 12507229 9724079 2022-07-24T20:41:10Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh|352|{{asc|INDEX}}.}}{{smaller block/s}}</noinclude>{{hi|Ash: child’s first nail-parings buried under; always a sacred tree; the Yggdrasil of Norsemen; attracts lightning; old rhyme, 17; Christ first washed and dressed at Bethlehem by fire of its wood, 64; faggots used in Devonshire at Christmas, ''ib.''; weather prediction from its leafing, 76; leaf, if even, lucky—rhymes on, 110–11}} {{hi|Ash (mountain), ''see'' Mountain-ash}} {{hi|Ash Wednesday, eating grey peas on, insures money all the year, 114}} {{hi|Ashes of dead person’s bed, divination by, 51}} {{hi|Aspen tree: charm for ague; used for Cross and therefore trembles; another (German) reason for its trembling, 151–2; anciently sacred; used for marriage-torches by Romans, and for wishing-rods in Germany, 152}} {{hi|Atkinson (Rev.

Previously, it was called “{{lang|cs|Wary}},” a Czechian word, meaning warm-bath. The name of Carlsbad was given to it in honour of the Emperor [[Author:Charles IV|Charles IV.]], who first brought it to a prominent position as a curative agent. Consequently, it is only a myth that attributes the discovery of the Carlsbad springs to the said Emperor while out stag-hunting.

This, you may see, isn't seven." "I can't think who he's like," remarked Judith, again looking attentively at the child. "He is the very model of somebody, some face that's familiar to me; but I can't call to mind whose." "I know nobody he's like when he's asleep," said Mrs.&nbsp;Smith, also regarding the boy. "Asleep and awake, it is not the same face—not a bit; I have often noticed that; it must be the eyes and the expression that make the difference." "Has he light eyes?" inquired Judith. "No; dark. But now, do just tell me what you can, about that horrible death. Was it a mistake, or was it wilful?" "That's what people are unable to decide," said Judith. "That old nurse is not very explicit; she speaks of one doctor and speaks of another, mixing the two up together. I want to know who really was attending her." "Mr.&nbsp;Stephen Grey had been attending her—he is Sir&nbsp;Stephen Grey now; and Mr.&nbsp;Carlton had seen her once or twice; the night of her death, and the night before it." "Was she ill enough to have two doctors?" "Not at all. Mr.&nbsp;Carlton was to have attended her, but when she was taken ill he was away from South Wennock, so the other came for him. Mr.&nbsp;Carlton was to have taken her the next day." "Were they both married men?" "Mr.&nbsp;Grey was; had been a long while; and Mr.&nbsp;Carlton married directly after. He married a peer's daughter. But I can't stay to talk now." "Oh, do stay! I want you to tell me all that passed; you'll do it clearer than that woman. Step in, and take a cup of tea with us." "You might as well ask me to stay for good," returned Judith. "My lady will wonder, as it is, what is keeping me. I'll get an hour's leave, and come up another time." "Just one word before you go, then; I hear of Messrs.&nbsp;Grey and Lycett, and I hear of Mr.&nbsp;Carlton; which would be the most skilful to call in, in case my child gets worse? I am a stranger here, and don't know their characters. " "I believe they are all clever; all skilful men. I like Mr.&nbsp;Grey best; I am most used to him." "It doesn't matter much, then, as far as skill goes, which I call in?" "As far as skill goes, no," replied Judith. And she said good afternoon, and left. She went home, pondering on the likeness she had traced in the boy's face; she could not recollect who it was he resembled. Her suspicions had been aroused that it might be the same child, in spite of the apparent difference in the age; but, even allowing that Mrs.&nbsp;Smith had deceived her in saying it was not, and Judith did not see why she should, the fact would not have helped her, since it was certainly not the deceased lady's face that the child's struck her as being like. But all in a moment, as Judith was turning in at the gate of Cedar Lodge, a face flashed on her mind's remembrance, and she saw whose it was that the boy's resembled. The fact seemed to stagger her; for she started aside amidst the trees as one who has received a blow. And when she at length went in-doors, it was with a perplexed gaze and knitted brow. {{dhr}} {{c|{{fine|[[Once a Week (magazine)/Series 1/Volume 11/Lord Oakburn's daughters - Part 21|(''To be continued.'')]]}}}} {{rule}} <section end="s1" /> <section begin="s2" />{{c|{{larger|THE SAVOY.}}}} {{image}} The Savoy Chapel. {{sc|Down}} a narrow street leading somewhat circuitously from the Strand to the river, just before you reach the approach to Waterloo Bridge going eastward, the ruins of a recent fire, walls left standing without a roof, are visible through the railings of a small, well-ordered churchyard, whose scattered headstones are shadowed by the foliage of a few trees.

An affidavit was presented to this Court on the part of L. A. Chamerovzow, the secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, in which it was stated in substance that John Anderson, of the city of Toronto, in her Majesty’s province of Canada, a British subject, domiciled there, was illegally detained in the gaol of that city against his will; that he was not legally accused, tried, or sentenced for the commission of any crime or offence against the laws of Canada, or recognised by the laws of that province, or in any other part of the Queen’s dominions; and that unless a peremptory writ of ''habeas corpus'' should issue, the life of the said John Anderson was in the most imminent and immediate danger. The application was based primarily on the ground that John Anderson was a British subject domiciled at Toronto. The law presumes ''primd facie'' that the place of a man’s actual residence is the place of his domicile. This presumption may, of course, be rebutted by positive proof that he has either come to live in a foreign land for a limited time, or for a special purpose; or, in legal phrase, that he has not in point of fact an ''animus manendi'', or an intention of making that country his place of permanent abode. Clearly in the case of John Anderson the proof confirms the presumption. There can be little doubt, indeed, that any suggestion to the effect that Anderson contemplated either presently, or at any period, however remote, a return to the province of Missouri, in the United States, would be disposed of readily enough. We must crave the indulgence of our readers if we venture to introduce for once the jargon of lawyers into the columns of {{sc|Once a Week}}. The interests of humanity, and the fair name, and honourable reputation of this country, are involved in the decision to be pronounced in the case of this poor coloured man. The contest must be decided by lawyers, and in courts of law; it may not therefore be amiss to examine in popular language the chief points which have fallen, or which may fall under their consideration. These are the tools with which we must work in this matter—it is as well to understand their use. The Canadian Court having decided, as we think (and as we stated a fortnight back, immediately upon receipt in England of the intelligence), erroneously, that the fugitive slave Anderson should be handed back to the agents of the United States, the next point was, as far as the Canadian judges were concerned, that they should discuss his right of appeal. If this were granted, the ultimate decision of the case would lie with the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London. There would be little to fear from any conclusion at which this learned body might arrive; but, meanwhile, the Canadian judges may go wrong in the affair of the appeal, as they have gone wrong according to all probability in their original decision. Under these circumstances the application was made {{sc|Last Week}} to the Court of Queen’s Bench here in London that a ''habeas corpus'' might issue, directed to the Governor of the Province of Canada—to the sheriff of Toronto—and to the keeper of the gaol there—commanding them to bring up the body of John Anderson, together with a statement as to the cause of his detention. It seems to be correct law—at least we now have it upon the authority of the Chief Justice Cockburn, and the Judges of the Queen’s Bench—that such a writ may issue in the Queen’s name to Canada. Lord Mansfield had previously laid down the law upon the subject in the following words: "There is no doubt of the power of this Court where the place is under the subjection of the Crown of England. The only question is as to the propriety. To foreign dominions which belong to a Prince who succeeds to the Throne of England, this Court has no power to send a writ of any kind. We cannot send a ''habeas corpus'' to Scotland, or to the Electorate; but to Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Plantations, and (as since the loss of the Duchy of Normandy, they have been considered as annexed to the Crown in some respects) to Guernsey, and Jersey we may: and formerly it lay to Calais, which was a conquest, and yielded to the Crown by the Treaty of Bretigny.” The Chief Justice and his fellows considered {{sc|Last Week}} that nothing short of a legislative enactment could deprive our Courts here of concurrent jurisdiction in such a matter, even where local legislatures and local Courts of Justice had been established. In the absence of such enactment it is a question of concurrent jurisdiction. Such, then, is the way in which Anderson will be brought to England. But in considering his case we must disabuse our minds of the old honourable clap-trap about a slave’s recovery of liberty, as soon as his foot touches English soil. Anderson is not claimed by the United States under the Extradition Treaty, because he is a Fugitive Slave, but because he is a Fugitive Murderer. The facts are, that being held in slavery in Missouri, he was endeavouring to effect his escape, but that one Digges endeavoured to interrupt his flight;—that Anderson, being otherwise unable to escape from his assailant and would-be captor, resisted with all his might, and in the course of the struggle struck Digges with some weapon, or instrument. The wound proved mortal, and Digges died. It does not appear that Digges held any special warrant for the arrest of Anderson, or that he was employed in carrying out the process of any Court when he attempted to capture Anderson. There is, however, a law in the State of Missouri which empowers, and, we believe, ''requires'' all citizens of the State to arrest any slave who may be found at a certain distance from his master’s house and plantations. Digges was acting under the authority of this municipal regulation when he endeavoured to capture Anderson, and in so doing met with his own death.

Mr. President, earlier this morning we had scheduled speakers for the day, and attempted to estimate the number of speakers. In connection with the next speaker, we had estimated that we would reach him about 9 o’clock. We are running a little ahead of schedule. Therefore, there are no speakers available at this time. We do not desire to have a vote on the bill until every Senator has had an opportunity to express himself, and we do not wish to take advantage of any Senator, or inconvenience any Senator more than is necessary. Therefore I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess until 8:45 p. m. At 8:45 p. m. we will reconvene and I shall suggest the absence of a quorum. I assume that by 9 o’clock the speaker will be ready to proceed. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Texas? There being no objection, the Senate (at 7 o’clock and 38 minutes p. m.) took a recess until 8:45 p. m. {{c|{{sm|AFTER RECESS}}}} On the expiration of the recess, the Senate reassembled, when called to order by the Vice President. Mr. McNAMARA. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum. The VICE PRESIDENT. The Secretary will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. McNAMARA. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise to speak against the so-called voting-right bill H. R. 6127, which bill was passed by the House of Representatives. It came to the Senate without being referred to a committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar, which is something unusual and out of ordinary procedure. The bill was then amended by the Senate and returned to the House, after which time the House amended it again by adopting what was called a compromise. The compromise as well as the bill is entirely unreasonable, and I hope that the Senate will not pass the bill. There are mainly three reasons why I feel the bill should not be passed. The first is that it is unnecessary. {{c|{{sm|STATE LEGISLATION PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS}}}} Every State has enacted some legislation making it unlawful to intimidate a voter or to hinder him in the exercising of his voting rights.

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Clark}} in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Chair cannot hear the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have read the election laws of every State in the Union, from Alabama to Wyoming, showing that the States now have, on their statute books and in their constitutions, provisions to protect the right to vote. The accuracy of the statutes which I have just recited is confirmed by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress. No one can say that any State, from Alabama through Wyoming, does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. The bill before the Senate is called a right-to-vote bill. Why is it called that? Every State has statutes to protect the right to vote. The sovereign States are protecting their citizens in the right to vote. Yet there is a big cry and a big hue about a voting law. As a matter of fact, the only thing that instigated this bill was the desire of both parties, the Democratic and the Republican, to play to minority votes. That is the purpose of the bill. It is purely political. Why do we need a Federal law when every State has a statute to protect the right to vote? And who is in a better position to protect the right to vote than the officials of the States? Suppose the voting laws of all the States were abrogated and violated. Does the Federal Government have a police system which would enable it to send officials into every State to police the election laws of every State? If so, it would change our entire conception of the Government of this Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written in 1789, in Philadelphia. It was ratified by nine Colonies which made them States and created the Union; 2 years later the Bill of Rights was adopted; and in the 10th amendment, which is a part of the Bill of Rights, it is provided that all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. There is nothing in the Constitution that delegates those powers to the Federal Government. Therefore, those rights are reserved to the States, and it is unlawful and unconstitutional for Congress to attempt to pass a law that will set up an administration which will attempt to bring about a policing of all the elections in all the 48 States of this Nation. Some persons say, “Well, the States won’t enforce the voting laws. We have got to have a Federal law. Some States deny the vote to citizens.” I question that. Has there been a single instance brought before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United States and proof presented that anyone has been denied the vote? From my understanding, and from the minority report which was submitted by some members of the Judiciary Committee, that has not been the case. So why does the Federal Government want to enter a field into which it has no constitutional authority to enter? As a matter of fact, the Federal Government already has a statute, I say to those who say the States are not protecting the right to vote. I am wondering if the Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives have overlooked the Federal statute. I shall read that statute, so that Senators can know that we now have a Federal statute to protect the right to vote. I shall read several provisions. The last one is the most applicable, and one on which I shall comment a little more, but I want to start with chapter 29 of title 18 of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. That is the United States Code, Criminal Code, and Criminal Procedure. Chapter 29 is entitled “Elections and Political Activities.” Section 591 reads: {{smaller block|Definitions:}} {{smaller block|When used in sections 597, 599, 602, 609, and 610 of this title—}} {{smaller block|The term “election” includes a general or special election, but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party.}} But under a decision of the Supreme Court, in a case which went up from my own State of South Carolina, it was held that the primary election was a part of the election machinery; and the decision was rendered on that subject. {{smaller block|The term “candidate” means an individual whose name is presented for election as Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress of the United States, whether or not such individual is elected;}} {{smaller block|The term “political committee” includes any committee, association, or organization which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the election of candidates or presidential and vice presidential electors (1) in two or more States, or (2) whether or not in more than one State if such committee, association, or organization (other than a duly organized State or local committee of a political party) is a branch or subsidiary of a national committee, association, or organization;}} {{smaller block|The term “contribution” includes a gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make a contribution, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “expenditure” includes a payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make an expenditure, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “person” or the term “whoever” includes an individual, partnership, committee, association, corporation, and any other organization or group of persons;}} {{smaller block|The term “State” includes Territory and possession of the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.)}} I shall now comment on section 594, which is entitled “Intimidation of Voters.” I cannot help but believe that Members of Congress in some way must have overlooked this statute, if they believe a Federal statute is essential on this subject, which I do not. This is the way the section reads: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 594. Intimidation of voters.}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} Mr. President, I do not think this statute is constitutional, in section 594, because I think the question is a matter reserved to the States. Since evidently there were people who thought the Federal Government did need to enter this field and who must have felt that it would not be unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enter it, this section was adopted. This section provides, as I have just read, for the punishment of anyone who attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. What is the purpose of the bill now under consideration, H. R. 6127? It is called the right-to-vote bill. The Federal statute here, in section 594 of title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, is just as plain on the subject as it can be. There is the Federal statute on the question of voting. I do not like it, because I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field, but we have the statute, in section 594. If there has been any violation of voting rights in this country, if there has been a single case of any person who claims that he has been intimidated or threatened or coerced to vote, the Federal Government has the power, under that statute, to punish anyone if he is convicted for such offense. Either this statute has not been enforced, if there have been violations, or else there have been no violations. So when the Federal Government asks that another voting law be passed, such as House bill 6127, it is admitting 1 of 2 things: Either there have been no violations of the rights of people to vote, or the Justice Department is not enforcing the law on this subject. I do not see what good it would do to enact another statute. What good would another statute do, if we have a statute already on the books? I have heard of no cases brought under this statute. There must not have been any violations. If there have been violations, the Federal Government has failed to prosecute violators, which it could do under this law. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 595.

That is in the Federal statutes. Again I ask, Why does the Congress need to pass another law when we have a law, a law with teeth in it, a law that provides a punishment of as much as $1,000 or imprisonment for as long as one year, or both? In other words, under this statute, the Federal Government, through the Justice Department, can prosecute any person who intimidates, threatens, or coerces another person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. If we have that kind of law on the books now, why do we need another law? As I stated a few moments ago, I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field. But they have entered this field, and laws on the subject have been enacted. Section 594 gives the Federal Government all the authority it needs to protect the right to vote in any State of this Nation. Section 594 makes provision for specific punishment if anyone violates the section and attempts to deny the right to vote, or threatens, intimidates, or coerces one in his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. So with every State in the Nation having laws on the subject to protect the right to vote, and with the Federal Government having laws on this subject to protect the right to vote, why do we need to pass another bill, another bill which is unconstitutional, another bill which violates the Constitution of the United States? I will come to that later on in my address. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. I am going to take up after a while a decision which shows that criminal contempt is a crime, and if criminal contempt is a crime, then it falls within the category of the provision of the Constitution of the United States which says that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It does not specify by degree. If he is entitled to a jury trial, he is entitled to it. The Senate passed a bill with an amendment providing for jury trial. The bill went back to the House, the House amended it, and added a provision that the judge in his discretion could try the case if the punishment was not over 45 days or a fine of $300. That is not what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not provide that a man is entitled to a jury trial under certain conditions, if the House had fixed the fine at $1 instead of $300 and denied a man the right of a trial by jury, in my opinion it still would have been unconstitutional. I shall develop that more as my address goes on. Mr. President, I shall now take up specific points of the proposed compromise on the jury trial provisions of H. R. 6127, so as to point out the lack of constitutionality of the provisions in connection with contempt of court proceedings. A so-called compromise has been reached among advocates of civil-rights legislation—H. R. 6127—whereby a jury trial would be given in certain criminal contempts of Federal courts. The purpose of this speech is to point out the objectionable features of the proposed compromise and to show conclusively that it is unconstitutional. The proposed jury-trial amendment, being part V of H. R. 6127, reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|PART V—TO PROVIDE TRIAL BY JURY FOR PROCEEDINGS TO PUNISH CRIMINAL CONTEMPTS OF COURT ARISING OUT OF CIVIL-RIGHTS CASES AND TO AMEND THE JUDICIAL CODE RELATING TO FEDERAL JURY QUALIFICATIONS}}}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 151. In all cases of criminal contempt arising under the provisions of this act, the accused, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both: ''Provided, however'', That in case the accused is a natural person the fine to be paid shall not exceed the sum of $1,000, nor shall imprisonment exceed the term of 6 months: ''Provided further'', That in any such proceeding for criminal contempt, at the discretion of the judge, the accused may be tried with or without a jury: ''Provided further, however'', That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of the $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury, which shall conform as near as may be to the practice in other criminal cases.}} {{smaller block|This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders, or process of the court.}} {{smaller block|Nor shall anything herein or in any other provision of law be construed to deprive courts of their power, by civil contempt proceedings, without a jury, to secure compliance with or to prevent obstruction of, as distinguished from punishment for violations of, any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of the court in accordance with the prevailing usages of law and equity, including the power of detention.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 152. Section 1861, title 28, of the United States Code is hereby amended to read as follows:}} {{smaller block|“1861. Qualifications of Federal jurors.}} {{smaller block|“Any citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years and who has resided for a period of 1 year within the judicial district, is competent to serve as a grand or petit juror unless:}} {{smaller block|“(1) He has been convicted in a State or Federal court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty.}} {{smaller block|“(2) He is unable to read, write, speak, and understand the English language.}} {{smaller block|“(3) He is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmities, to render efficient jury service.”}} Mr. President, those are the provisions of the so-called compromise. I wish to have all other Members of the Senate and all other citizens of these United States know just what the compromise provides. First, Mr. President, this amendment is clearly unconstitutional because of vagueness. It is an established principle of constitutional law that crimes must be clearly defined. If this amendment were enacted, persons charged with contempt would be deprived of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th amendment to the Federal Constitution. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under a statute by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. This point is clearly brought out in Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, in the second edition, third volume, at page 1727. Here is what this great authority on the Constitution has to say on this point: {{smaller block|1142. Crimes must be clearly defined.}} {{smaller block|Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under statutes by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. “A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.” ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' (269 U. S. 385).}} The first sentence of the proposed amendment—section 151—refers to criminal contempt and provides for punishment upon conviction. The first ''proviso'' of the first sentence refers to natural persons; and for such natural persons, the fine is limited to $1,000 or—in the alternative—imprisonment is limited to 6 months. This first ''proviso'' is obviously drafted to bring the offense within the present definition of “misdemeanor,” as classified by the Congress in the adoption of title 18 of the United States Code on June 25, 1948. Section 1 of title 18, United States Code, classifies offenses against the United States as follows: {{smaller block|1. Offenses classified:}} {{smaller block|Notwithstanding any act of Congress to the contrary:}} {{smaller block|(1) Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year is a felony.}} {{smaller block|(2) Any other offense is a misdemeanor.}} {{smaller block|(3) Any misdemeanor, the penalty for which does not exceed imprisonment for a period of 6 months or a fine of not more than $500, or both, is a petty offense.}} The second ''proviso'' of the first sentence still refers to criminal contempt, and vests in the Federal district judge the discretion to determine whether the person accused of contempt is to be tried with or without a jury. The third proviso of the first sentence, still referring only to criminal contempts, says that where the district judge proceeds summarily—without benefit of a jury—to convict the accused and fine him or her for more than $300 or imprison him or her for more than 45 days, then the person so convicted—fined or imprisoned—may demand a trial ''de novo''. It is assumed that trial ''de novo'' contemplates a trial anew of the entire controversy, including the hearing of evidence, as though no previous action had been taken. In ''Pittsburgh S. S. Co.'' v. ''Brown'' ((1948 Ct. App. Ill.) 171 Fed. 2d. 175, 177), “trial ''de novo''” is defined as an entirely new trial, but that was a civil case. The term “trial ''de novo''” nowhere appears in criminal cases referred to in volume 42 A, Words and Phrases, 1952 edition or 1957 supplement. The second sentence of the amendment, without any reference to “criminal contempt” or without defining or differentiating between “criminal contempt” and “civil contempt,” proceeds to make the provisions of the first sentence inapplicable to those contempts “committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice” and likewise inapplicable to “misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.” In other words, this second sentence deals with certain “contempts” and with “misbehavior of any officers of the court” and excludes such “contempts” and “misbehavior of any officer of the court” from the provisions of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. In other words, the second sentence says that if any contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice, it is not dealt with in the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. Likewise excluded from coverage by the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127—would be “the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court” in respect to any writ, order, or process of court issued presumably under authority of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. The last sentence of the amendment—section 151—simply tries to restate the proposition now appearing in section 401 of title 18, United States Code, that a court of the United States has power to punish contempts of its authority. However, in restating that proposition, this last sentence refers to “civil contempts,” whereas section 401 refers to “contempt of its”—the court’s—“authority.” Thus we see the last sentence of the amendment, section 151, refers to “civil contempt,” as distinguished from the first sentence, which deals with “criminal contempt.” Nowhere in the amendment is any definition given of either “criminal contempt” or “civil contempt;” nor has Congress ever attempted to draw any such distinction. The sole provision attempting to draw a distinction between criminal and civil contempt is contained in rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in the requirement that the notice with respect to a criminal contempt shall describe it as such. The Advisory Committee on Rules, appointed by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the act of June 29, 1940—Fifty-fourth United States Statutes at Large, page 686—to assist in the preparation of rules of pleading, in their notes indicate that the requirement of notice written into rule 42 (b) was “intended to obviate the frequent confusion between criminal and civil contempt proceedings” pursuant to the suggestion made in ''McCann'' v. ''New York Stock Exchange'' ((2d Cir., 1935) 80 F. 2d 211). See Civil and Criminal Contempt in the Federal Courts, report of Los Angeles Bar Association, 17 Federal Rules Decisions 167–182—1955. The Supreme Court itself has belabored the distinction between civil and criminal contempts. For the Court’s distinction see ''Bessette'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' ((1904) 194 U.S. 324, 328). A contempt statute certainly comes within the due process of law requirements of the Constitution. To substantiate this point, I refer again to Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, page 1727, section 1141. In this section Willoughby points out that a contempt which is not committed in open court does require due process of law for the defendant. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, held on April 13, 1925, that all the guaranties of due process of law are available to a person charged with contempt. ''Cooke'' v. ''United States'' ((1925) 267 U.S. 517.) Thus it is quite clear that the amendment—section 151—as now drafted, would subject a person to criminal prosecution for a statutory offense so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable him to determine whether or not he is committing that offense. ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' ((1926) 269 U. S. 385); ''International Harvester Co.'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 216); ''Collins'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 634). Second. This amendment is unconstitutional, in violation of the fifth amendment prohibiting double jeopardy. That provision of the amendment which permits the accused to be tried a second time by a jury for the same offense following conviction in a summary proceeding violates the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” In ''ex parte'' Grossman the Supreme Court stated that contempt is an “offense” within the meaning of the pardoning power of the President granted in article II, section 2, clause 1 of the enumerated powers of the President. Clause 1 declares the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons of offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Chief Justice Taft in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1925) 267 U. S. 87, 107) quoting ''Myers'' v. ''United States'' ((1924) 264 U. S. 95, 104–105). If contempt is an offense when it comes to the pardoning power of the President, it certainly is an offense under the fifth amendment. Thus reading the language of the amendment—section 151—''in pari materia'' with the decisions in ''ex parte'' Grossman and ''Myers'' against ''United States'', for the Congress to grant a second trial following conviction, with the same defendant, the same charges, and the same evidence, would place the defendant in double jeopardy. The proposal—section 151—even if it were not in violation of the fifth amendment, would place Congress in the position of gambling with the rights of our citizens. Suppose a judge tries a man or woman and finds the person guilty. The press reports this fact to the public and such cases are bound to stir the public interest. The person so convicted is then tried again on the same evidence. Any jury is bound to be influenced. In addition, what basis or standard of conduct is to be the determining factor as to whether the judge imposes the lesser fine or sentence and lets his verdict stand or imposes the greater fine or punishment and moves the case along to a jury trial. There would be no uniformity in the application of the proposed statute—section 151—and the entire procedure would be awkward, cumbersome, and impracticable. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', a note is made of an interruption in Mr. Thurmond’s speech, regarding the results of a special election for a Senator, upon which several pages of the ''Record'' are used to record the reading of documents and the discussion of matters relevant thereto. As this is not a constituent portion of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, it is absent from this record. However, following this notice, several other parliamentary procedures are maintained, and other matters are dealt with; the ''Record'' then replaces the remainder of Mr. Thurmond’s speech to the records of the succeeding day, beginning on p. 16383. This record begins again from this section.'' Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I now wish to take up Chief Justice Taft’s opinion on jury trials in contempt cases. Considerable has been said about what Chief Justice Taft said concerning contempt and jury trials. Chief Justice Taft was at one time President of the United States, and he was Chief Justice of the United States. He was a great man and a great American. His opinions are highly revered, but some of his opinions have been quoted out of context or when not applicable. I wish to take up at this time his opinions on jury trials in contempt cases. On June 5, 1957, at his White House press conference, President Eisenhower, in answer to a question asked by the National Negro Press Association as to how he stood on the jury-trial amendment to the so-called civil-rights bill, quoted President Taft, as being opposed to a jury trial in contempt cases. President Eisenhower stated that Mr. Taft made this statement when he was President in 1908 and there is no evidence that he ever changed his mind. In the first place the statement was not made by Mr. Taft while President. The statement was made by Mr. Taft in a political speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 28, 1908, in acceptance of the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Taft at the time was Secretary of War. He did not become President until March 4, 1909. In this political speech Mr. Taft also said a trial by jury in contempt cases was never known in the history of the jurisprudence of England, or America, except in the constitution of Oklahoma. See Presidential Addresses and Papers, William H. Taft, 1910 ed., page 26. Also in this speech Mr. Taft said the popular impression that a judge, in punishing for contempt of his own order, may be affected by a personal feeling was unfounded. Did Mr. Taft change his mind when he became Chief Justice? He most assuredly did. He not only changed his mind on the subject of whether jury trials were had at common law in contempt cases but also changed his mind about judges having personal vindictiveness in contempt orders. While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Taft delivered the opinion in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1924) 267 U. S. 87) and cited eight cases at common law to show that in England a jury trial was had in contempt cases. This decision was rendered by him in upholding a pardon granted by President Hoover to a man imprisoned by a United States district judge in Illinois for contempt in a summary proceeding. Chief Justice Taft declared at page 118 of volume 267, United States Reports: {{smaller block|The King of England before our Revolution, in the exercise of his prerogative, had always exercised the power to pardon contempts of court, just as he did ordinary crimes and misdemeanors and as he has done to the present day. In the mind of a common-law lawyer of the 18th century the word pardon included within its scope the ending by the King’s grace of the punishment of such derelictions, whether it was imposed by the court without a jury or upon indictment, for both forms of trial for contempts were had. ''Thomas of Chartham'' v. ''Benet of Stamford'' ((1313), 24 Selden Society, 185); ''Fulwood'' v. ''Fulwood'' ((1585), Toothill, 46); ''Rex'' v. ''Buckenham'' ((1665), 1 Deble 751, 707, 852); Anonymous (1674), Cases in Chancery (238); ''King and Codrington'' v. ''Rodmap'' ((1630), Cr. Car. 198); ''Bartram'' v. ''Dannett'' ((1676), Finch, 253); ''Phipps'' v. ''Earl of Angelsea'' ((1721), 1 Peere Williams, 696).}} In all probability Mr. Taft was induced to recognize the fact that jury trials were customarily had at common law in contempts as a result of research conducted by the distinguished historian of English law, Mr. W. S. Holdsworth. The efforts of this great historian were first made public in 1909 after Mr. Taft had made his earlier statement. Mr. Holdsworth declared that the only cases in which contempts were punished summarily was where the contemnor confessed his guilt. If he did not confess the accused was tried by the ordinary course of law which meant trial by jury. To quote Mr. Holdsworth: {{smaller block|A History of English Law, volume III., pages 392–393. * * * But all through the medieval period, and long afterwards, the courts, though they might attack persons who were guilty of contempts of court, could not punish them summarily. Unless they confessed their guilt, they must be regularly indicted and convicted. Mr. Fox has given a list of 40 cases of various contempts—insults to the judges, an assault on the attorney general, beating jurors, striking a witness, trampling on a writ of prohibition—in all of which the offender was tried by the ordinary course of law. That this was the correct course to pursue was stated by Anderson, C. J., in 1599.}} In another opinion while Chief Justice Mr. Taft changed his mind about the immunity of Federal judges from vindictiveness in issuing contempt orders. On November 19, 1923, in a concurring opinion in ''Craig'' v. ''Hecht'' (263 U. S. 255 at p. 279), the Chief Justice said: {{smaller block|The delicacy there is in the judge’s deciding whether an attack upon his own judicial action is mere criticism or real obstruction, and the possibility that impulse may incline his view to personal vindication, are manifest. But the law gives the person convicted of contempt in such a case the right to have the whole question on facts and law reviewed by three judges of the circuit court of appeals who have had no part in the proceedings, and if not successful in that court, to apply to this Court for an opportunity for a similar review here.}} Mr. President, on June 10, 1957, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of [[Reid v. Covert (354 U.S. 1)|''Reid'' against ''Covert'']]. Since this opinion deals with the question “the right of trial by jury,” I think it is advisable for the Senate to consider this decision of the Supreme Court. I shall read a number of pages from the opinion and a concurring opinion by Justice Frankfurter. Some of the material in this opinion necessarily discusses the background of the cases. However, I believe it appropriate to read this material because it is necessary to a full understanding of this decision which upheld the constitutional right of trial by jury which H. R. 6127 would deny under certain conditions. I read from the opinion of the Court: {{smaller block|SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.''

WALTER KRUEGER, ON REHEARING, JUNE 10, 1957}} {{smaller block|Mr. Justice Black announced the judgment of the Court and delivered an opinion, in which the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan join.}} {{smaller block|These cases raise basic constitutional issues of the utmost concern. They call into question the role of the military under our system of government. They involve the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States thereby depriving them of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. These cases are particularly significant because for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution wives of soldiers have been denied trial by jury in a court of law and forced to trial before courts-martial.}} {{smaller block|In No. 701 Mrs. Clarice Covert killed her husband, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, at an airbase in England. Mrs. Covert, who was not a member of the armed services, was residing on the base with her husband at the time. She was tried by a court-martial for murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The trial was on charges preferred by Air Force personnel and the court-martial was composed of Air Force officers. The court-martial asserted jurisdiction over Mrs. Covert under Article 2 (11) of the UCMJ, which provides:}} {{smaller block|“The following persons are subject to this code:}} {{smaller block|“(11) Subject to the provisions of any treaty or agreement to which the United States is or may be a party or to any accepted rule of international law, all persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces without the continental limits of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|Counsel for Mrs. Covert contended that she was insane at the time she killed her husband, but the military tribunal found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed by the Air Force Board of Reviews (16 CMR 465) but was reversed by the Court of Military Appeals (6 USCMA 48), because of prejudicial errors concerning the defense of insanity. While Mrs. Covert was being held in this country pending a proposed retrial by court-martial in the District of Columbia, her counsel petitioned the district court for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to set her free on the ground that the Constitution forbade her trial by military authorities. Construing this court’s decision in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), as holding that “a civilian is entitled to a civilian trial,” the district court held that Mrs. Covert could not be tried by court-martial and ordered her released from custody. The Government appealed directly to this court under, title 28, United States Code, section 1252. See Three Hundred and Fiftieth United States Reports, page 985.}} {{smaller block|In No. 713 Mrs. Dorothy Smith killed her husband, an Army officer, at a post in Japan where she was living with him. She was tried for murder by a court-martial and despite considerable evidence that she was insane was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The judgment was approved by the Army Board of Review (10 CMR 350, 13 CMR 307), and the Court of Military Appeals (5 USCMA 314). Mrs. Smith was then confined in a Federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Her father, respondent here, filed a petition for ''habeas corpus'' in a district court for West Virginia. The petition charged that the court-martial was without jurisdiction because article 2 (11) of the UCMJ was unconstitutional insofar as it authorized the trial of civilian dependents accompanying servicemen overseas. The district court refused to issue the writ (137 F. Supp. 806), and while an appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit we granted ''certiorari'' at the request of the Government (350 U. S. 986).}} {{smaller block|The two cases were consolidated and argued last term and a majority of the Court, with 3 Justices dissenting and 1 reserving opinion, held that military trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert for their alleged offenses was constitutional. Three hundred and fifty-first United States Reports, page 470, 487. The majority held that the provisions of article III and the fifth and sixth amendments which require that crimes be tried by a jury after indictment by a grand jury did not protect an American citizen when he was tried by the American Government in foreign lands for offenses committed there and that Congress could provide for the trial of such offenses in any manner it saw fit so long as the procedures established were reasonable and consonant with due process. The opinion then went on to express the view that military trials, as now practiced, were not unreasonable or arbitrary when applied to dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces overseas. In reaching their conclusion the majority found it unnecessary to consider the power of Congress “to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces” under article I of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Subsequently, the Court granted a petition for rehearing. Three Hundred and Fifty-second United States Reports, page 901. Now, after further argument and consideration, we conclude that the previous decisions cannot be permitted to stand. We hold that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert could not constitutionally be tried by military authorities.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|I}}}} {{smaller block|At the beginning we reject the idea that when the United States acts against citizens abroad it can do so free of the Bill of Rights. The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution. When the Government reaches out to punish a citizen who is abroad, the shield which the Bill of Rights and other parts of the Constitution provide to protect his life and liberty should not be stripped away just because he happens to be in another land. This is not a novel concept. To the contrary, it is as old as government. It was recognized long before Paul successfully invoked his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in strict accordance with Roman law. And many centuries later an English historian wrote:}} {{smaller block|“In a settled colony the inhabitants have all the rights of Englishmen. They take with them, in the first place, that which no Englishman can by expatriation put off, namely, allegiance to the Crown, the duty of obedience to the lawful commands of the Sovereign, and obedience to the laws which Parliament may think proper to make with reference to such a colony. But, on the other hand, they take with them all the rights and liberties of British subjects; all the rights and liberties as against the prerogative of the Crown, which they would enjoy in this county.”}} {{smaller block|The rights and liberties which citizens of our country enjoy are not protected by custom and tradition alone, they have been jealously preserved from the encroachments of Government by express provisions of our written Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Among those provisions, article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments are directly relevant to these cases. Article III, section 2, lays down the rule that—}} {{smaller block|“The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth amendment declares:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|And the sixth amendment provides:}} {{smaller block|“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”}} {{smaller block|The language of article III, section 2, manifests that constitutional protections for the individual were designed to restrict the United States Government when it acts outside of this country, as well as here at home. After declaring that all criminal trials must be by jury, the section states that when a crime is “not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” If this language is permitted to have its obvious meaning, section 2 is applicable to criminal trials outside of the States as a group without regard to where the offense is committed or the trial held. From the very first Congress, Federal statutes have implemented the provisions of section 2 by providing for trial of murder and other crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of any State “in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may first be brought.” The fifth and sixth amendments, like article III, section 2, are also all inclusive with their sweeping references to “no person” and to “all criminal prosecutions.”}} {{smaller block|This Court and other Federal courts have held or asserted that various constitutional limitations apply to the Government when it acts outside the continental United States. While it has been suggested that only those constitutional rights which are “fundamental” protect Americans abroad, we can find no warrant, in logic or otherwise, for picking and choosing among the remarkable collection of “Thou shalt nots” which were explicitly fastened on all departments and agencies of the Federal Government by the Constitution and its amendments. Moreover, in view of our heritage and the history of the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it seems peculiarly anomalous to say that trial before a civilian judge and by an independent jury picked from the common citizenry are not fundamental rights. As Blackstone wrote in his Commentaries:}} {{smaller block|“The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * [I]t is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals.”}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} {{smaller block|The keystone of supporting authorities mustered by the Court’s opinion last June to justify its holding that article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments did not apply abroad was ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). The Ross case is one of those cases that cannot be understood except in its peculiar setting; even then, it seems highly unlikely that a similar result would be reached to-day. Ross was serving as a seaman on an American ship in Japanese waters. He killed a ship’s officer, was seized and tried before a consular court in Japan. At that time, statutes authorized American consuls to try American citizens charged with committing crimes in Japan and certain other non-Christian countries. These statutes provided that the laws of the United States were to govern the trial except:}} {{smaller block|“Where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.”}} {{smaller block|The consular power approved in the Ross case was about as extreme and absolute as that of the potentates of the non-Christian countries to which the statutes applied. Under these statutes consuls could and did make the criminal laws, initiate charges, arrest alleged offenders, try them, and after conviction take away their liberty or their life—sometimes at the American consulate. Such a blending of executive, legislative, and judicial powers in one person or even in one branch of the Government is ordinarily regarded as the very acme of absolutism. Nevertheless, the Court sustained Ross’ conviction by the consul. It stated that constitutional protections applied “only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad.” Despite the fact that it upheld Ross’ conviction under United States laws passed pursuant to asserted constitutional authority, the Court went on to make a sweeping declaration that “[t]he Constitution can have no operation in another country.”}} {{smaller block|The Ross approach that the Constitution has no applicability abroad has long since been directly repudiated by numerous cases. That approach is obviously erroneous if the United States Government, which has no power except that granted by the Constitution, can and does try citizens for crimes committed abroad. Thus the Ross case rested, at least in substantial part, on a fundamental misconception and the most that can be said in support of the result reached there is that the consular court jurisdiction had a long history antedating the adoption of the Constitution. The Congress has recently buried the consular system of trying Americans. We are not willing to jeopardize the lives and liberties of Americans by disinterring it. At best, the Ross case should be left as a relic from a different era.}} {{smaller block|The Court’s opinion last term also relied on the Insular Cases to support its conclusion that article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments were not applicable to the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. We believe that reliance was misplaced.}} {{smaller block|The Insular Cases can be distinguished from the present cases in that they involved the power of Congress to provide rules and regulations to govern temporarily territories with wholly dissimilar traditions and institutions whereas here the basis for governmental power is American citizenship. None of these cases had anything to do with military trials and they cannot properly be used as vehicles to support an extension of military jurisdiction to civilians. Moreover, it is our judgment that neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our Government. If our foreign commitments become of such nature that the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority, or inclination, to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|II}}}} {{smaller block|At the time of Mrs. Covert’s alleged offense, an executive agreement was in effect between the United States and Great Britain which permitted United States military courts to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over offenses committed in Great Britain by American servicemen or their dependents. For its part, the United States agreed that these military courts would be willing and able to try and to punish all offenses against the laws of Great Britain by such persons. In all material respects, the same situation existed in Japan when Mrs. Smith killed her husband. Even though a court-martial does not give an accused trial by jury and other Bill of Rights protections, the Government contends that section 2(11) of the UCMJ, insofar as it authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces in Great Britain and Japan, can be sustained as legislation which is necessary and proper to carry out the United States obligations under the international agreements made with those countries. The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI., the supremacy clause of the Constitution, declares:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.”}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in article VI. make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in pursuance of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe article VI. as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and the Senate combined.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. For example, in ''Geofroy'' v. ''Riggs'' (133 U. S. 258, 267), it declared:}} {{smaller block|“The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the Government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the Government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.”}} {{smaller block|This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in ''Missouri'' v. ''Holland'' (252 U. S. 416), which is contrary to the position taken here. There the Court carefully noted that the treaty involved was not inconsistent with any specific provision of the Constitution. The Court was concerned with the 10th amendment which reserves to the States or the people all power not delegated to the National Government. To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their power to the National Government and the 10th amendment is no barrier.}} {{smaller block|In summary, we conclude that the Constitution in its entirety applied to the trials of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. Since their court-martial did not meet the requirements of article III., section 2, or the fifth and sixth amendments, we are compelled to determine if there is anything within the Constitution which authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces overseas.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|III}}}} {{smaller block|Article I., section 8, clause 14, empowers Congress “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” It has been held that this creates an exception to the normal method of trial in civilian courts as provided by the Constitution and permits Congress to authorize military trial of members of the armed services without all the safeguards given an accused by article III. and the Bill of Rights. But if the language of clause 14 is given its natural meaning, the power granted does not extend to civilians—even though they may be dependents living with servicemen on a military base. The term “land and naval forces” refers to persons who are members of the armed services and not to their civilian wives, children, and other dependents. It seems inconceivable that Mrs. Covert or Mrs. Smith could have been tried by military authorities as members of the land and naval forces had they been living on a military post in this country. Yet this constitutional term surely has the same meaning everywhere. The wives of servicemen are no more members of the land and naval forces when living at a military post in England or Japan than when living at a base in this country or in Hawaii or Alaska.}} {{smaller block|The Government argues that the necessary and proper clause, when taken in conjunction with clause 14, allows Congress to authorize the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert by military tribunals and under military law. The Government claims that the two clauses together constitute a broad grant of power without limitation authorizing Congress to subject all persons, civilians and soldiers alike, to military trial if necessary and proper to govern and regulate the land and naval forces. It was on a similar theory that Congress once went to the extreme of subjecting persons who made contracts with the military to court-martial jurisdiction with respect to frauds related to such contracts. In the only judicial test a Circuit Court held that the legislation was patently unconstitutional. ''Ex parte'' Henderson (11 Fed. Cas. 1067, No. 6349).}} {{smaller block|It is true that the Constitution expressly grants Congress power to make all rules necessary and proper to govern and regulate those persons who are serving in the land and naval forces. But the necessary and proper clause cannot operate to extend military jurisdiction to any group of persons beyond that class described in clause 14—“the land and naval forces.” Under the grand design of the Constitution civilian courts are the normal repositories of power to try persons charged with crimes against the United States. And to protect persons brought before these courts, article III. and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments establish the right to trial by jury, by indictment by a grand jury, and a number of other specific safeguards. By way of contrast the jurisdiction of military tribunals is a very limited and extraordinary jurisdiction derived from the cryptic language in article I., section 8, and, at most, was intended to be only a narrow exception to the normal and preferred method of trial in courts of law. Every extension of military jurisdiction is an encroachment on the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and, more important, acts as a deprivation of the right to jury trial and of other treasured constitutional protections. Having run up against the steadfast bulwark of the Bill of Rights, the necessary and proper clause cannot extend the scope of clause 14.}} {{smaller block|Nothing said here contravenes the rule laid down in ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, at 421), that:}} {{smaller block|“Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.”}} {{smaller block|In McCulloch this Court was confronted with the problem of determining the scope of the necessary and proper clause in a situation where no specific restraints on governmental power stood in the way. Here the problem is different. Not only does clause 14, by its terms, limit military jurisdiction to members of the land and naval forces, but article III., section 2 and the fifth and sixth amendments require that certain express safeguards, which were designed to protect persons from oppressive governmental practices, shall be given in criminal prosecutions—safeguards which cannot be given in a military trial. In the light of these as well as other constitutional provisions, and the historical background in which they were formed, military trial of civilians is inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the constitution.}} {{smaller block|Further light is reflected on the scope of clause 14 by the fifth amendment. That amendment which was adopted shortly after the Constitution reads:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|Since the exception in this amendment for cases arising in the land or naval forces was undoubtedly designed to correlate with the power granted Congress to provide for the government and regulation of the armed services, it is a persuasive and reliable indication that the authority conferred by clause 14 does not encompass persons who cannot fairly be said to be in the military service.}} {{smaller block|Even if it were possible, we need not attempt here to precisely define the boundary between civilians and members of the land and naval forces. We recognize that there might be circumstances where a person could be in the armed services for purposes of clause 14 even though he had not formally been inducted into the military or did not wear a uniform. But the wives, children, and other dependents of servicemen cannot be placed in that category, even though they may be accompanying a serviceman abroad at Government expense and receiving other benefits from the Government. We have no difficulty in saying that such persons do not lose their civilian status and their right to a civilian trial because the Government helps them live as members of a soldier’s family.}} {{smaller block|The tradition of keeping the military subordinate to civilian authority may not be so strong in the minds of this generation as it was in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. The idea that the relatives of soldiers could be denied a jury trial in a court of law and instead be tried by courts-martial under the guise of regulating the Armed Forces would have seemed incredible to those men, in whose lifetime the right of the military to try soldiers for any offenses in time of peace had only been grudgingly conceded. The founders envisioned the Army as a necessary institution, but one dangerous to liberty if not confined within its essential bounds. Their fears were rooted in history. They knew that ancient republics had been overthrown by their military leaders. They were familiar with the history of 17th century England, where Charles I. tried to govern through the army and without Parliament. During this attempt, contrary to the common law, he used courts-martial to try soldiers for certain nonmilitary offenses. This court-martialing of soldiers in peacetime evoked strong protests from Parliament. The reign of Charles I. was followed by the rigorous military rule of Oliver Cromwell. Later, James II. used the army in his fight against Parliament and the people. He promulgated articles of war (strangely enough relied on in the Government’s brief) authorizing the trial of soldiers for nonmilitary Crimes by courts-martial. This action hastened the revolution that brought William and Mary to the throne upon their agreement to abide by a bill of rights which, among other things, protected the right of trial by jury. It was against this general background that two of the greatest English jurists, Lord Chief Justice Hale and Sir William Blackstone—men who exerted considerable influence on the founders—expressed sharp hostility to any expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. For instance, Blackstone went so far as to assert:}} {{smaller block|“For martial law, which is built upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Hale observes, in truth and reality no law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the {{SIC|ony|only}} thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.”}} {{smaller block|The generation that adopted the Constitution did not distrust the military because of past history alone. Within their own lives they had seen royal governors sometimes resort to military rule. British troops were quartered in Boston at various times from 1768 until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War to support unpopular royal governors and to intimidate the local populace. The trial of soldiers by courts-martial and the interference of the military with the civil courts aroused great anxiety and antagonism not only in Massachusetts but throughout the colonies. For example, Samuel Adams in 1768 wrote:}} {{smaller block|“[I]s it not enough for us to have seen soldiers and mariners forejudged of life, and executed within the body of the county by martial law? Are citizens to be called upon, threatened, ill-used at the will of the soldiery, and put under arrest, by pretext of the law military, in breach of the fundamental rights of subjects, and contrary to the law and franchise of the land? * * * Will the spirits of people as yet unsubdued by tyranny, unawed by the menaces of arbitrary power, submit to be governed by military force? No! Let us rouse our attention to the common law—which is our birthright, our great security against all kinds of insult and oppression.”}} {{smaller block|Colonials had also seen the right to trial by jury subverted by acts of Parliament which authorized courts of admiralty to try alleged violations of the unpopular Molasses and Navigation Acts. This gave the admiralty courts jurisdiction over offenses historically triable only by a jury in a court of law and aroused great resentment throughout the colonies. As early as 1765 delegates from nine colonies meeting in New York asserted in a declaration of rights that trial by jury was the inherent and invaluable right of every citizen in the colonies.}} {{smaller block|With this background it is not surprising that the Declaration of Independence protested that George III. had affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power and that Americans had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. And those who adopted the Constitution embodied their profound fear and distrust of military power, as well as their determination to protect trial by jury, in the Constitution and its amendments. Perhaps they were aware that memories fade and hoped that in this way they could keep the people of this Nation from having to fight again and again the same old battles for individual freedom.}} {{smaller block|In the light of this history, it seems clear that the founders had no intention to permit the trial of civilians in military courts, where they would be denied jury trials and other constitutional protections, merely by giving Congress the power to make rules which were necessary and proper for the regulation of the land and naval forces. Such a latitudinarian interpretation of these clauses would be at war with the well-established purpose of the founders to keep the military strictly within its proper sphere, subordinate to civil authority. The Constitution does not say that Congress can regulate the land and naval forces and all other persons whose regulation might have some relationship to maintenance of the land and naval forces. There is no indication that the founders contemplated setting up a rival system of military courts to compete with civilian courts for jurisdiction over civilians who might have some contact or relationship with the Armed Forces. Courts-martial were not to have concurrent jurisdiction with courts of law over nonmilitary America.}} {{smaller block|On several occasions this Court has been faced with an attempted expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. ''Ex parte'' Milligan (4 Wall. 2), one of the great landmarks in this Court’s history, held that military authorities were without power to try civilians not in the military or naval service by declaring martial law in an area where the civil administration was not deposed and the courts were not closed. In a stirring passage the Court proclaimed:}} {{smaller block|“Another guaranty of freedom was broken when Milligan was denied a trial by jury. The great minds of the country have differed on the correct interpretation to be given to various provisions of the Federal Constitution; and judicial decision has been often invoked to settle their true meaning; but until recently no one ever doubted that the right of trial by jury was fortified in the organic law against the power of attack. It is now assailed; but if ideas can be expressed in words, and language has any meaning, this right—one of the most valuable in a free country—is preserved to everyone accused of crime who is not attached to the Army, or Navy, or militia in actual service.”}} {{smaller block|In ''Duncan'' v. ''Kahanamoku'' (327 U. S. 304), the Court reasserted the principles enunciated in ''Ex parte'' Milligan and reaffirmed the tradition of military subordination to civil authorities and institutions. It refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during wartime despite Government claims that the needs of defense made martial law imperative.}} {{smaller block|Just last term, this Court held in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), that military courts could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense which he had allegedly committed while in the Armed Forces. It was decided (1) that since Toth was a civilian he could not be tried by military court-martial, and (2) that since he was charged with murder, a crime in the constitutional sense, he was entitled to indictment by a grand jury, jury trial, and the other protections contained in article III., section 2 and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. The Court pointed out that trial by civilian courts was the rule for persons who were not members of the Armed Forces.}} {{smaller block|There are no supportable grounds upon which to distinguish the ''Toth'' case from the present cases. Toth, Mrs. Covert, and Mrs. Smith were all civilians. All three were American citizens. All three were tried for murder. All three alleged crimes were committed in a foreign country. The only differences were: (1) Toth was an exserviceman while they were wives of soldiers; (2) Toth was arrested in the United States while they were seized in foreign countries. If anything, Toth had closer connection with the military than the two women for his crime was committed while he was actually serving in the Air Force. Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith had never been members of the Army, had never been employed by the Army, had never served in the Army in any capacity. The Government appropriately argued in Toth that the constitutional basis for court-martialing him was clearer than for court-martialing wives who are accompanying their husbands abroad. Certainly Toth’s conduct as a soldier bears a closer relation to the maintenance of order and discipline in the Armed Forces than the conduct of these wives. The fact that Toth was arrested here while the wives were arrested in foreign countries is material only if constitutional safeguards do not shield a citizen abroad when the Government exercises its power over him. As we have said before, such a view of the Constitution is erroneous. The mere fact that these women had gone overseas with their husbands should not reduce the protection the Constitution gives them.}} {{smaller block|The Milligan, ''Duncan'', and ''Toth'' cases recognized and manifested the deeply rooted and ancient opposition in this country to the extension of military control over civilians. In each instance an effort to expand the jurisdiction of military courts to civilians was repulsed.}} {{smaller block|There have been a number of decisions in the lower Federal courts which have upheld military trial of civilians performing services for the Armed Forces in the field during time of war. To the extent that these cases can be justified, insofar as they involved trial of persons who were not members of the Armed Forces, they must rest on the Government’s war powers. In the face of an actively hostile enemy, military commanders necessarily have broad power over persons on the battlefront. From a time prior to the adoption of the Constitution the extraordinary circumstances present in an area of actual fighting have been considered sufficient to permit punishment of some civilians in that area by military courts under military rules. But neither Japan nor Great Britain could properly be said to be an area where active hostilities were underway at the time Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert committed their offenses or at the time they were tried.}} {{smaller block|The Government urges that the concept in the field should be broadened to reach dependents accompanying the military forces overseas under the conditions of world tension which exist at the present time. It points out how the war powers include authority to prepare defenses and to establish our military forces in defensive posture about the world. While we recognize that the war powers of the Congress and the Executive are broad, we reject the Government’s argument that present threats to peace permit military trial of civilians accompanying the Armed Forces overseas in an area where no actual hostilities are underway. The exigencies which have required military rule on the battlefront are not present in areas where no conflict exists. Military trial of civilians in the field is an extraordinary jurisdiction, and it should not be expanded at the expense of the Bill of Rights. We agree with Colonel Winthrop, an expert on military jurisdiction, who declared: “A statute cannot be framed by which a civilian can lawfully be made amenable to the military jurisdiction in time of peace.”}} {{smaller block|As this Court stated in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), the business of soldiers is to fight and prepare to fight wars, not to try civilians for their alleged crimes. Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions, and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks. Because of its very nature and purpose the military must place great emphasis on discipline and efficiency. Correspondingly, there has always been less emphasis in the military on protecting the rights of the individual than in civilian society and in civilian courts.}} {{smaller block|Courts-martial are typically ''ad hoc'' bodies appointed by a military officer from among his subordinates. They have always been subject to varying degrees of command influence. In essence, these tribunals are simply executive tribunals whose personnel are in the executive chain of command. Frequently, the members of the court-martial must look to the appointing officer for promotions, advantageous assignments, and efficiency ratings—in short, for their future progress in the service. Conceding to military personnel that high degree of honesty and sense of justice which nearly all of them undoubtedly have, the members of a court-martial, in the nature of things, do not and cannot have the independence of jurors drawn from the general public or of civilian judges.}} {{smaller block|We recognize that a number of improvements have been made in military justice recently by engrafting more and more of the methods of civilian courts on courts-martial. In large part these ameliorations stem from the reaction of civilians, who were inducted during the two World Wars, to their experience with military justice. Notwithstanding the recent reforms, military trial does not give an accused the same protection which exists in the civil courts. Looming far above all other deficiencies of the military trial, of course, are the absence of trial by jury before an independent judge after an indictment by a grand jury. Moreover, the reforms are merely statutory; Congress—and perhaps the President—can reinstate former practices, subject to any limitations imposed by the Constitution, whenever it desires. As yet it has not been clearly settled to what extent the Bill of Rights and other protective parts of the Constitution apply to military trials.}} {{smaller block|It must be emphasized that every person who comes within the jurisdiction of courts-martial is subject to military law—law that is substantially different from the law which governs civilian society. Military law is, in many respects, harsh law which is frequently cast in very sweeping and vague terms. It emphasizes the iron hand of discipline more that it does the even scales of justice. Moreover, it has not yet been definitely established to what extent the President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, or his delegates, can promulgate, supplement, or change substantive military law as well as the procedures of military courts in time of peace, or in time of war. In any event, Congress has given the President broad discretion to provide the rules governing military trials. For example, in these very cases a technical manual issued under the President’s name with regard to the defense of insanity in military trials was of critical importance in the convictions of Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith. If the President can provide rules of substantive law as well as procedure, then he and his military subordinates exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers with respect to those subject to military trials. Such blending of functions in one branch of the Government is the objectionable thing which the draftsmen of the Constitution endeavored to prevent by providing for the separation of governmental powers.}} {{smaller block|In summary, “it still remains true that military tribunals have not been and probably never can be constituted in such way that they can have the same kind of qualifications that the Constitution has deemed essential to fair trials of civilians in Federal courts.” In part this is attributable to the inherent differences in values and attitudes that separate the Military Establishment from civilian society. In the military, by necessity, emphasis must be placed on the security and order of the group rather than on the value and integrity of the individual.}} {{smaller block|It is urged that the expansion of military jurisdiction over civilians claimed here is only slight, and that the practical necessity for it is very great. The attitude appears to be that a slight encroachment on the Bill of Rights and other safeguards in the Constitution need cause little concern. But to hold that these wives could be tried by the military would be a tempting precedent. Slight encroachments create new boundaries from which legions of power can seek new territory to capture. “It may be that it is the obnoxious thing in its mildest and least repulsive form; but illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing in that way; namely, by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal modes of procedure. This can only be obviated by adhering to the rule that constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. A close and literal construction deprives them of half their efficacy, and leads to gradual depreciation of the right, as if it consisted more in sound than in substance. It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.” Moreover we cannot consider this encroachment a slight one. Throughout history many transgressions by the military have been called slight and have been justified as reasonable in light of the uniqueness of the times. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that today the peoples of many nations are ruled by the military.}} {{smaller block|We should not break faith with this Nation’s tradition of keeping military power subservient to civilian authority, a tradition which we believe is firmly embodied in the Constitution. The country has remained true to that faith for almost 170 years. Perhaps no group in the Nation has been truer than military men themselves. Unlike the soldiers of many other nations, they have been content to perform their military duties in defense of the Nation in every period of need and to perform those duties well without attempting to usurp power which is not theirs under our system of constitutional government.}} {{smaller block|Ours is a Government of divided authority on the assumption that in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny. And under our Constitution courts of law alone are given power to try civilians for their offenses against the United States.

The normal method of trial of Federal offenses under the Constitution is in a civilian tribunal. Trial of offenses by way of court-martial, with all the characteristics of its procedure so different from the forms and safeguards of procedure in the conventional courts, is an exercise of exceptional jurisdiction, arising from the power granted to Congress in article I., section 8, clause 14, of the Constitution of the United States—“To make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” ''Dynes'' v. ''Hoover'', (20 How. 65); see ''Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11); Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d ed. 1896), 52. Article 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64th United States Statutes at Large, pages 107, 109, title 50, United States Code, section 532, and its predecessors were passed as an exercise of that power, and the agreements with England and Japan recognized that the jurisdiction to be exercised under those agreements was based on the relation of the persons involved to the military forces. See the agreement with Great Britain (57 Stat. 1193, E. A. S. No. 355) and the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act (1942, 5 and 6 Geo. 6, ch. 31); and the 1952 administrative agreement with Japan (3 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 3341, T. I. A. S. No. 2492).}} {{smaller block|Trial by court-martial is constitutionally permissible only for persons who can, on a fair appraisal, be regarded as falling within the authority given to Congress under article I. to regulate the “land and naval forces,” and who therefore are not protected by specific provisions of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. It is, of course, true that, at least regarding the right to a grand-jury indictment, the fifth amendment is not unmindful of the demands of military discipline. Within the scope of appropriate construction, the phrase “except in cases arising in the land and naval forces” has been assumed also to modify the guaranties of speedy and public trial by jury. And so, the problem before us is not to be answered by recourse to the literal words of this exception. The cases cannot be decided simply by saying that since these women were not in uniform, they were not “in the land and naval forces.” The Court’s function in constitutional adjudications is not exhausted by a literal reading of words. It may be tiresome, but it is nonetheless vital, to keep our judicial minds fixed on the injunction that “it is a Constitution we are expounding.” ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, 407). Although Winthrop in his treatise states that the Constitution “clearly distinguishes the military from the civil class as separate communities” and “recognizes no third class which is part civil and part military—military for a particular purpose or in a particular situation, and civil for all other purposes and in all other situations. * * *” Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d edition 1896), 145, this Court, applying appropriate methods of constitutional interpretation, has long held, and in a variety of situations, that in the exercise of a power specifically granted to it, Congress may sweep in what may be necessary to make effective the explicitly worded power. See ''Jacob Ruppert'' v. ''Caffey'' (251 U. S. 264) especially 289 and following; ''Purity Extract Co.'' v. ''Lynch'' (226 U. S. 192, 201); ''Railroad Commission'' v. ''Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy R. Co.'' (257 U. S. 563, 588). This is the significance of the necessary and proper clause, which is not to be considered so much a separate clause in article I., section 8, as an integral part of each of the preceding 17 clauses. Only thus may be avoided a strangling literalness in construing a document that is not an enumeration of static rules, but the living framework of Government designed for an undefined future. ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316); ''Hurtado'' v. ''California'' (110 U. S. 516, 530–531).}} {{smaller block|Everything that may be deemed, as the exercise of an allowable judgment by Congress, to fall fairly within the conception conveyed by the power given to Congress “to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” is constitutionally within that legislative grant and not subject to revision by the independent judgment of the Court. To be sure, every event or transaction that bears some relation to “the land and naval forces” does not ''ipso facto'' come within the tolerant conception of that legislative grant. The issue in these cases involves regard for considerations not dissimilar to those involved in a determination under the due process clause. Obviously, the practical situations before us bear some relation to the military. Yet the question for this Court is not merely whether the relation of these women to the “land and naval forces” is sufficiently close to preclude the necessity of finding that Congress has been arbitrary in its selection of a particular method of trial. For although we must look to article I., section 8, clause 14, as the immediate justifying power, it is not the only clause of the Constitution to be taken into account. The Constitution is an organic scheme of government to be dealt with as an entirety. A particular provision cannot be dissevered from the rest of the Constitution. Our conclusion in these cases therefore must take due account of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must weigh all the factors involved in these cases in order to decide whether these women dependents are so closely related to what Congress may allowably deem essential for the effective “government and regulations of the land and naval forces” that they may be subjected to court-martial jurisdiction in these capital cases, when the consequence is loss of the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|We are not concerned here even with the possibility of some alternative nonmilitary type of trial that does not contain all the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must judge only what has been enacted and what is at issue. It is the power actually asserted by Congress under article I., section 8, clause 14, that must now be adjudged in the light of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. In making this adjudication, I must emphasize that it is only the trial of civilian dependents in a capital case in time of peace that is in question. The Court has not before it, and therefore I need not intimate any opinion on, situations involving civilians, in the sense of persons not having a military status, other than dependents. Nor do we have before us a case involving a noncapital crime. This narrow delineation of the issue is merely to respect the important restrictions binding on the Court when passing on the constitutionality of an act of Congress. “In the exercise of that jurisdiction, it is bound by two rules, to which it has rigidly adhered, one, never to anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it; the other never to formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied. These rules are safe guides to sound judgment. It is the dictate of wisdom to follow them closely and carefully.” ''Steamship Co.'' v. ''Emigration Commissioners'' (113 U. S. 33, 39).}} {{smaller block|We are also not concerned here with the substantive aspects of the grant of power to Congress to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces. What conduct should be punished and what constitutes a capital case are matters for Congressional discretion, always subject, of course, to any specific restrictions of the Constitution. These cases involve the validity of procedural conditions for determining the commission of a crime in fact punishable by death. The taking of life is irrevocable. It is in capital cases especially that the balance of conflicting interests must be weighted most heavily in favor of the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Thus, in ''Powell'' v. ''Alabama'' (287 U. S. 45, 71), the fact “above all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives” led the Court to conclude that the defendants had been denied due process by the failure to allow them reasonable time to seek counsel and the failure to appoint counsel. I repeat. I do not mean to imply that the considerations that are controlling in capital cases involving civilian dependents are constitutionally irrelevant in capital cases involving civilians other than dependents or in noncapital cases involving dependents or other civilians. I do say that we are dealing here only with capital cases and civilian dependents.}} {{smaller block|The Government asserts that civilian dependents are an integral part of our Armed Forces overseas and that there is substantial military necessity for subjecting them to court-martial jurisdiction. The Government points out that civilian dependents go abroad under military auspices, live with military personnel in a military community, enjoy the privileges of military facilities, and that their conduct inevitably tends to influence military discipline.}} {{smaller block|The prosecution by court-martial for capital crimes committed by civilian dependents of members of the Armed Forces abroad is hardly to be deemed; under modern conditions, obviously appropriate to the effective exercise of the power to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces when it is a question of deciding what power is granted under article I. and, therefore, what restriction is made on article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. I do not think that the proximity, physical and social, of these women to the land and naval forces is, with due regard to all that has been put before us, so clearly demanded by the effective Government and regulation of those forces as reasonably to demonstrate a justification for court-martial jurisdiction over capital offenses.}} {{smaller block|The Government speaks of the “great potential impact on military discipline” of these accompanying civilian dependents. This cannot be denied, nor should its implications be minimized. But the notion that discipline over military personnel is to be furthered by subjecting their civilian dependents to the threat of capital punishment imposed by court-martial is too hostile to the reasons that underlie the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights for those safeguards to be displaced. It is true that military discipline might be affected seriously if civilian dependents could commit murders and other capital crimes with impunity. No one, however, challenges the availability to Congress of a power to provide for trial and punishment of these dependents for such crimes. The method of trial alone is in issue. The Government suggests that if trial in an article III. court subject to the restrictions of the fifth and sixth amendments is the only alternative, such a trial could not be held abroad practicably, and it would often be equally impracticable to transport all the witnesses back to the United States for trial. But although there is no need to pass on that issue in this case, trial in the United States is obviously not the only practical alternative and other alternatives may raise different constitutional questions. The Government’s own figures for the Army show that the total number of civilians (all civilians serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces overseas and not merely civilian dependents) for whom general courts-martial for alleged murder were deemed advisable was only 13 in the 7 fiscal years, 1950–56. It is impossible to ascertain from the figures supplied to us exactly how many persons were tried for other capital offenses, but the figures indicate that there could not have been many. There is nothing to indicate that the figures for the other services are more substantial. It thus appears to be a manageable problem within the procedural restrictions found necessary by this opinion.}} {{smaller block|A further argument is made that a decision adverse to the Government would mean that only a foreign trial could be had. Even assuming that the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, (4 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 1792, T. I. A. S. No. 2846) covering countries where a large part of our Armed Forces are stationed, gives jurisdiction to the United States only through its military authorities, this court cannot speculate that any given nation would be unwilling to grant or continue such extraterritorial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in capital cases if they were to be tried by some other manner than court-martial. And even if such were the case, these civilian dependents would then merely be in the same position as are so many Federal employees and their dependents and other United States citizens who are subject to the laws of foreign nations when residing there. See also the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, ''supra'', article VII., sections 2, 3.}} {{smaller block|The Government makes the final argument that these civilian dependents are part of the United States military contingent abroad in the eyes of the foreign nations concerned and that their conduct may have a profound effect on our relations with these countries, with a consequent effect on the Military Establishment there. But the argument that military courts-martial in capital cases are necessitated by this factor assumes either that a military court-martial constitutes a stronger deterrent to this sort of conduct or that in the absence of such a trial no punishment would be meted out and our foreign policy thereby injured. The reasons why these considerations carry no conviction have already been indicated.}} {{smaller block|I therefore conclude that in capital cases the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in time of peace cannot be justified by article I., considered in connection with the specific protections of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|Since the conclusion thus reached differs from what the Court decided last term, a decent respect for the judicial process calls for reexamination of the two grounds that then prevailed. The court sustained its action on the authority of the cases dealing with the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for the territories, reinforced by ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453), in which this Court, in 1891, sustained the criminal jurisdiction of a consular court in Japan. These authorities grew out of, and related to, specific situations very different from those now here. They do not control or even embarrass the problem before us.}} {{smaller block|Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific judicial origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the purposes they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots. Doctrines like those expressed by the Ross case and the series of cases beginning with ''American Insurance Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511), must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion. “If a precedent involving a black horse is applied to a case involving a white horse, we are not excited. If it were an elephant or an animal ''ferae naturae'' or a chose in action, then we would venture into thought. The difference might make a difference. We really are concerned about precedents chiefly when their facts differ somewhat from the facts in the case at bar. Then there is a gulf or hiatus that has to be bridged by a concern for principle and a concern for practical results and practical wisdom.” Thomas Reed Powell, Vagaries and Varieties in Constitutional Interpretation 36. This attitude toward precedent underlies the whole system of our case law. It was thus summarized by Mr. Justice Brandeis: “It is a peculiar virtue of our system of law that the process of inclusion and exclusion, so often employed in developing a rule, is not allowed to end with its enunciation and that an expression in an opinion yields later to the impact of facts unforeseen.” ''Jaybird Mining Co.'' v. ''Weir'' (271 U. S. 609, 619 (dissenting)). Especially is this attitude to be observed in constitutional controversies.}} {{smaller block|The Territorial cases relied on by the Court last term held that certain specific constitutional restrictions on the Government did not automatically apply in the acquired Territories of Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, or Puerto Rico. In these cases, the Court drew its decisions from the power of Congress to “make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory * * * belonging to the United States,” for which provision is made in article IV., section 3. The United States from time to time acquired lands in which many of our laws and customs found an uncongenial soil because they ill accorded with the history and habits of their people. Mindful of all relevant provisions of the Constitution and not allowing one to frustrate another—which is the guiding thought of this opinion—the Court found it necessary to read article IV., section 3 together with the fifth and sixth amendments and article III. in the light of those circumstances. The question arose most frequently with respect to the establishment of trial by jury in possessions in which such a system was wholly without antecedents. The Court consistently held with respect to such Territory that Congressional power under article IV., section 3 was not restricted by the requirement of article III., section 2, clause 3, and the sixth amendment of providing trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|“If the right to trial by jury were a fundamental right which goes wherever the jurisdiction of the United States extends; or if Congress, in framing laws for outlying territory belonging to the United States, was obliged to establish that system by affirmative legislation, it would follow that, no matter what the needs or capacities of the people, trial by jury, and in no other way, must be forthwith established, although the result may be to work injustice and provoke disturbance rather than to aid the orderly administration of justice. If the United States, impelled by its duty or advantage, shall acquire territory peopled by savages, and of which it may dispose or not hold for ultimate admission to statehood, if this doctrine is sound, it must establish there the trial by jury. To state such a proposition demonstrates the impossibility of carrying it into practice. Again, if the United States shall acquire by treaty the cession of territory having an established system of jurisprudence, where jury trials are unknown, but a method of fair and orderly trial prevails under an acceptable and long-established code, the preference of the people must be disregarded, their established customs ignored, and they themselves coerced to accept, in advance of incorporation into the United States, a system of trial unknown to them and unsuited to their needs. We do not think it was intended, in giving power to Congress to make regulations for the territories, to hamper its exercise with this condition.” ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138, 148.)}} {{smaller block|The fundamental right test is the one which the Court has consistently enunciated in the long series of cases—''e. g.'', ''American Ins. Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511); ''De Lima'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 1); ''Downes'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 244); ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138); ''Balzac'' v. ''Porto Rico'' (258 U. S. 298)—dealing with claims of constitutional restrictions on the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for governing the unincorporated territories. The process of decision appropriate to the problem led to a detailed examination of the relation of the specific territory to the United States. This examination, in its similarity to analysis in terms of due process, is essentially the same as that to be made in the present cases in weighing Congressional power to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces against the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|The results in the cases that arose by reason of the acquisition of exotic territory do not control the present cases for the territorial cases rest specifically—on article IV., section 3, which is a grant of power to Congress to deal with territory and other Government property. Of course the power sought to be exercised in Great Britain and Japan does not relate to territory. The Court’s opinions in the territorial cases did not lay down a broad principle that the protective provisions of the Constitution do not apply outside the continental limits of the United States. This Court considered the particular situation in each newly acquired territory to determine whether the grant to Congress of power to govern territory was restricted by a specific provision of the Constitution. The territorial cases, in the emphasis put by them on the necessity for considering the specific circumstances of each particular case, are thus relevant in that they provide an illustrative method for harmonizing constitutional provisions which appear, separately considered, to be conflicting.}} {{smaller block|The Court last term relied on a second source of authority, the consular court case, ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). Pursuant to a treaty with Japan, Ross, a British subject but a member of the crew of a United States ship, was tried and convicted in a consular court in Yokohama for murder of a fellow seaman while the ship was in Yokohama Harbor. His application for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to a United States circuit court was denied, 44 F. 185, and on appeal here, the judgment was affirmed. This Court set forth the ground of the circuit court, “the long and uniform acquiescence by the executive, administrative, and legislative departments of the Government in the validity of the legislation,” 140th United States Reports, at page 461, and then stated:}} {{smaller block|“The circuit court might have found an additional ground for not calling in question the legislation of Congress, in the uniform practice of civilized governments for centuries to provide consular tribunals in other than Christian countries * * * for the trial of their own subjects or citizens for offenses committed in those countries, as well as for the settlement of civil disputes between them; and in the uniform recognition, down to the time of the formation of our Government, of the fact that the establishment of such tribunals was among the most important subjects for treaty stipulations. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The treatymaking power vested in our Government extends to all proper subjects of negotiation with foreign governments. It can, equally with any of the former or present governments of Europe, make treaties providing for the exercise of judicial authority in other countries by its officers appointed to reside therein.}} {{smaller block|“We do not understand that any question is made by counsel as to its power in this respect. His objection is to the legislation by which such treaties are carried out * * *.}} {{smaller block|“By the Constitution a government is ordained and established ‘for the United States of America,’ and not for countries outside of their limits. The guarantees it affords against accusation of capital or infamous crimes, except by indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and, for an impartial trial by a jury when thus accused, apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad. * * * The Constitution can have no operation in another country. When, therefore, the representatives or officers of our Government are permitted to exercise authority of any kind in another country, it must be on such conditions as the two countries may agree, the laws of neither one being obligatory upon the other. The deck of a private American vessel, it is true, is considered for many purposes constructively as territory of the United States, yet persons on board of such vessels, whether officers, sailors, or passengers, cannot invoke the protection of the provisions referred to until brought within the actual territorial boundaries of the United States.” (140 U. S., at 462–464.)}} {{smaller block|One observation should be made at the outset about the grounds for decision in Ross. Insofar as the opinion expressed a view that the Constitution is not operative outside the United States—and apparently Mr. Justice Field meant by “United States” all lands over which the United States flag flew, see John W. Burgess, How May the United States Govern Its Extra-Continental Territory? (14 Pol. Sci. Q. 1 (1899))—it expressed a notion that has long since evaporated. Governmental action abroad is performed under both the authority and the restrictions of the Constitution—for example, proceedings before American military tribunals, whether in Great Britain or in the United States, are subject to the applicable restrictions of the Constitution. See opinions in ''Burns'' v. ''Wilson'' (346 U. S. 137).}} {{smaller block|The significance of the Ross case and its relevance to the present cases cannot be assessed unless due regard is accorded the historical context in which that case was decided. Ross is not rooted in any abstract principle or comprehensive theory touching constitutional power or its restrictions. It was decided with reference to a very particular, practical problem with a long history. To be mindful of this does not attribute to Mr. Justice Field’s opinion some unavowed historical assumption. On behalf of the whole court, he spelled out the considerations that controlled it:}} {{smaller block|“The practice of European governments to send officers to reside in foreign countries, authorized to exercise a limited jurisdiction over vessels and seamen of their country, to watch the interests of their countrymen and to assist in adjusting their disputes and protecting their commerce, goes back to a very early period, even preceding what are termed the Middle Ages. * * * In other than Christian countries they were, by treaty stipulations, usually clothed with authority to hear complaints against their countrymen and to sit in judgment upon them when charged with public offenses. After the rise of Islamism, and the spread of its followers over eastern Asia and other countries bordering on the Mediterranean, the exercise of this judicial authority became a matter of great concern. The intense hostility of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to Christians, affected all their intercourse, and all proceedings had in their tribunals. Even the rules of evidence adopted by them placed those of different faith on unequal grounds in any controversy with them. For this cause, and by reason of the barbarous and cruel punishments inflicted in those countries, and the frequent use of torture to enforce confession from parties accused, it was a matter of deep interest to Christian governments to withdraw the trial of their subjects, when charged with the commission of a public offence, from the arbitrary and despotic action of the local officials. Treaties conferring such jurisdiction upon these consuls were essential to the peaceful residence of Christians within those countries and the successful prosecution of commerce with their people.” One Hundred and Fortieth United States Reports, at page 463.}} {{smaller block|“It is true that the occasion for consular tribunals in Japan may hereafter be less than at present, as every year that country progresses in civilization and in the assimilation of its system of judicial procedure to that of Christian countries, as well as in the improvement of its penal statutes; but the system of consular tribunals * * * is of the highest importance, and their establishment in other than. Christian countries, where our people may desire to go in pursuance of commerce, will often be essential for the protection of their persons and property” (''id.'', at 480).}} {{smaller block|It is important to have a lively sense of this background before attempting to draw on the Ross case. Historians have traced grants of extraterritorial rights as far back as the permission given by Egypt in the 12th or 13th century {{asc|B. C.}} to the merchants of Tyre to establish factories on the Nile and to live under their own law and practice their own religion. Numerous other instances of persons living under their own law in foreign lands existed in the later pre-Christian era and during the Roman Empire and the so-called Dark and Middle Ages—Greeks in Egypt, all sorts of foreigners in Rome, inhabitants of Christian cities and states in the Byzantine Empire, the Latin kingdoms of the Levant, and other Christian cities and states, Mohammedans in the Byzantine Empire and China, and many others lived in foreign lands under their own law. While the origins of this extraterritorial jurisdiction may have differed in each country, the notion that law was for the benefit of the citizens of a country and its advantages not for foreigners appears to have been an important factor. Thus, there existed a long-established custom of extraterritorial jurisdiction at the beginning of the 15th century when the complete conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire substantially altered political relations between Christian Europe and the Near East. But commercial relations continued, and in 1535 Francis I. of France negotiated a treaty with Suleiman I. of Turkey that provided for numerous extraterritorial rights, including criminal and civil jurisdiction over all disputes among. French subjects. (1 Ernest Charriere, Negotiations de la France dans le Levant 283.) Other nations and eventually the United States in 1830 (8 Stat. 408), later negotiated similar treaties with the Turks. (For a more complete history of the development of extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction, see 1 Calvo, Le Droit International Theorique et Pratique (5th ed., Rousseau, 1896), 2–18, 2 ''id.'', 9–12; Hinckley, American Consular Jurisdiction in the Orient, 1–9; 1 Miltitz, Manuel des Consuls passim; Ravndal, The Origin of the Capitulations and of the Consular Jurisdiction, S.

No longer were strangers to be denied the advantages of local law. Indeed, territorial sovereignty meant the exercise of sovereignty over all residents within the borders of the state, and the system of extraterritorial consular jurisdiction tended to die out among Christian nations in the 18th and 19th centuries. But a new justification was found for the continuation of that jurisdiction in those countries whose systems of justice were considered inferior, and it was this strong feeling with respect to Moslem and Far Eastern countries that was reflected, as we have seen, in the Ross opinion.}} {{smaller block|Until 1842, China had asserted control over all foreigners within its territory (Shih Shun Liu, ''op. cit.'', ''supra'', 76–89) but, as a result of the Opium War, Great Britain negotiated a treaty with China whereby she obtained consular offices in five open ports and was granted extraterritorial rights over her citizens. On July 3, 1844, Caleb Cushing negotiated a similar treaty on behalf of the United States (8 Stat. 592). In a letter to Secretary of State Calhoun, he explained: “I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations—in a word a Christian state.” Quoted in 7 Op. Atty. Gen. 495, 496–497. Later treaties continued the extraterritorial rights of the United States, and the treaty of 1903 contained the following article demonstrating the purpose of those rights:}} {{smaller block|“The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of western nations, the United States agrees to give every assistance to such reform and will also be prepared to relinquish extra-territorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in doing so” (33 Stat. 2208, 2215).}} {{smaller block|The first treaty with Japan was negotiated by Commodore Perry in 1854 (11 Stat. 597). It opened two ports, but did not provide for any exercise of judicial powers by United States officials. Under the treaty of 1857 (11 Stat. 723), such power was given, and later treaties, which opened up further Japanese cities for trade and residence by United States citizens, retained these rights. The treaty of 1894, effective on July 17, 1899, however, ended these extraterritorial rights and Japan, even though a non-Christian nation, came to occupy the same status as Christian nations (29 Stat. 848). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction by consuls over United States citizens was also provided for, at one time or another, in treaties with Borneo (10 Stat. 909, 910); Siam (11 Stat. 683, 684); Madagascar (15 Stat. 491, 492); Samoan Islands (20 Stat. 704); Korea (23 Stat. 720, 721); Tonga Islands (25 Stat. 1440, 1442) and, by virtue of most-favored-nation clauses; in treaties with Tripoli (8 Stat. 154); Persia (11 Stat. 709); the Congo (27 Stat. 926); and Ethiopia (33 Stat. 2254). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction was also provided for in a treaty with Morocco (8 Stat. 100), by virtue of a most-favored-nation clause and by virtue of a clause granting jurisdiction if “any citizens of the United States * * * shall have any disputes with each other.” The word “disputes” has been interpreted by the International Court of Justice to comprehend criminal as well as civil disputes. ''France'' v. ''United States'' (I. C. J. Rept. 1952, p. 176, 188–189.) The treaties with Algiers (8 Stat. 133, 224, 244); Tunis (8 Stat. 157); and Muscat (8 Stat. 458) contained similar disputes clauses.}} {{smaller block|The judicial power exercised by consuls was defined by statute and was sweeping:}} {{smaller block|“Jurisdiction in both criminal and civil matters shall, in all cases, be exercised and enforced in conformity with the laws of the United States, which are hereby, so far as is necessary to execute such treaties, respectively, and so far as they are suitable to carry the same into effect, extended over all citizens of the United States in those countries, and over all others to the extent that the terms of the treaties, respectively, justify or require. But in all cases where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” (Rev. Stat. sec. 4086.)}} {{smaller block|The consuls, then, exercised not only executive and judicial power, but legislative power as well.}} {{smaller block|The number of people subject to the jurisdiction of these courts during their most active periods appears to have been fairly small. In the Chronicle & Directory for China, Japan, and the Philippines, for the year 1870, there is a listing of the total number of foreign, not just United States, residents in these three places. The list is 81 pages long, with a total of some 4,500 persons (pp. 54–134). This same publication gives the following information about Japan. “The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of * * * 38 Americans * * * and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number * * * about 80 [were] Americans. * * * At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the Government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January 1866: * * * American citizens, 32. * * * A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there * * *.” (Appendix, p. 353.) The statesman’s Yearbook of 1890 shows: China at the end of 1888: 1,020 Americans (p. 411); Japan in 1887, 711 Americans (p. 709); Morocco; 1889 estimate: “The number of Christians is very small, not exceeding 1,500” (p. 739). The Statesman’s Yearbook of 1901 shows: China at the end of 1899: 2,335 Americans (p. 484); Japan, December 31, 1898, just before the termination of our extraterritorial rights: 1,165 Americans (p. 809); Morocco: “The number of Christians does not exceed 6,000; the Christian population of Tangier alone probably amounts to 5,000” (p. 851). These figures of course do not include those civilians temporarily in the country coming within consular jurisdiction.}} {{smaller block|The consular court jurisdiction, then, was exercised in countries whose legal systems at the time were considered so inferior that justice could not be obtained in them by our citizens. The existence of these courts was based on long-established custom and they were justified as the best possible means for securing justice for the few Americans present in those countries. The Ross case, therefore, arose out of, and rests on, very special, confined circumstances, and cannot be applied automatically to the present situation, involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens in countries with civilized systems of justice. If Congress had established consular courts or some other nonmilitary procedure for trial that did not contain all the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments for the trial of civilian dependents of military personnel abroad, we would be forced to a detailed analysis of the situation of the civilian dependent population abroad in deciding whether the Ross case should be extended to cover such a case. It is not necessary to do this in the present cases in view of our decision that the form or trial here provided cannot constitutionally be justified.}} {{smaller block|The Government, apparently recognizing the constitutional basis for the decision in Ross, has, on rehearing, sought to show that civilians in general and civilian dependents in particular have been subject to military order and discipline ever since the colonial period. The materials it has submitted seem too episodic, too meager, to form a solid basis in history, preceding and contemporaneous with the framing of the Constitution, for constitutional adjudication. What has been urged on us falls far too short of proving a well-established practice—to be deemed to be infused into the Constitution—of court-martial jurisdiction, certainly not in capital cases, over such civilians in time of peace.}} Mr. President, the decision which I have read in the {{sc|Record}} is in the case of Curtis Reid, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Jail, Appellant, against Clarice B. Covert, and Nina Kinsella, Warden of the Federal Reformatory for Women, Alderson, W. Va., petitioner, against Walter Krueger. The opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice Black, was concurred in by the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan. It pointed out clearly that even though the court-martial so provided, the jury trial could not be denied to civilians accompanying the Armed Forces. It is very clear on that point. There was a concurring opinion, which I have just included in the {{sc|Record}}, by Justice Frankfurter, which upholds that contention. There is no question that under the United States Constitution citizens are entitled to a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the discretion of a Federal judge to say whether he is going to grant a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the Congress to say that if the punishment is only a $300 fine or 45 days imprisonment we will let the judge try the case, but if it is above that the defendant can get a jury trial. That simply does not make sense. It violates the Constitution and is in derogation of the administration of justice in this country. As someone has said, it is a split-level statute. Mr. President, on May 9, 1957, before the mountain and plain regional meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colo., Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., of the Supreme Court, made an address on our judicial systems. In this address he discussed the advantages of our traditional jury-trial system. Because of the clear, straightforward nature of this address, I want to quote the following statement made by Justice Brennan. This is what he said: {{smaller block|We hear much, for example, of the proposal that we turn all automobile-accident litigation over to an administrative agency. The idea is that, because automobile litigation accounts for a major part of court business, the simple solution is to dispose of the problem by throwing it out the window. What an abject abdication of our profession’s responsibility to provide judicial justice for our citizens. But, at best, there is utterly no hope for that idea, at least not in our lifetimes, when the job of judicial reform must be done. It will be a long day before our society will pay the price of damages for every automobile injury or death without regard to the fault of the person injured or killed. There is no true analogy between compensation for the injured workman who helps produce goods or services for profit, where the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods or services, and compensation to the automobile victim, where the cost would have to be borne by all of us.}} {{smaller block|Another nostrum is that, because jury trials take more time than trials before a judge without a jury, the easy answer to calendar congestion is to get rid of jury trials in automobile accident cases. Actual studies are being made to prove that the average jury trial in a negligence case takes more time than a nonjury trial of a negligence case. I question the need for a study to prove something that every judge and lawyer knows. Of course jury trials usually take more time than nonjury trials. But those who propose this suggest also that fairer justice will result if a judge, unprejudiced for one side or the other—they really mean that juries are prejudiced in favor of plaintiffs—disposes of them. I doubt that that proposition can withstand analysis. As a trial judge I was always interested in how often the jury brought in the same verdict on liability that I would have reached. And that seems to be the experience of trial judges generally. A recent survey proved that in upwards of 85 percent of the cases the trial judge reported that the jury reached the result on liability that he would have reached. Moreover, the idea that juries go haywire in fixing damages where plaintiffs prevail should be looked at a little more closely. I think at least that judge-decided verdicts under the Federal Tort Claims Act (no jury trial is had under that act) do not persuade the Department of Justice that juries are any less conscientious in fixing damages. I know that at times juries do go overboard. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the instances in my time as a trial judge when I felt it necessary to set aside verdicts because they had done so. My experience left me with the definite impression that jurors almost always do try to fix damages within allowable limits.}} {{smaller block|I think, at all events, this proposal to abolish jury trials in automobile accident cases also faces an almost insurmountable hurdle. The success of our British brothers in abolishing jury trials should not mislead us. American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. Perhaps the emotion generated by proposals to modify or deny the right has its roots in the Jacksonian era of distrust of the legal profession and the insistence upon the people’s control of the administration of justice. Perhaps it is a survival of the same thing which gave us the elective system of judges in most States and in some, as in my own, New Jersey, actual lay participation on the bench. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of the preservation of their liberties. The road of him who would take away jury trial in automobile accident cases is a long and rocky one.}} {{smaller block|I submit that it is a sorry response to the litigant who suffers from long delay in having his accident suit tried that we can offer no relief beyond “let’s throw accident litigation out of the courts,” or “let’s deny the victim the right of a jury trial.” Our profession must stand up and reject those nostrums. We know now that there are judicial structures and techniques of judicial administration which not only can cope with problems of calendar control but to far more {{SIC|signficant|significant}} purposes can also measurably assist in our ceaseless striving to give better justice. Our need is to get up our courage to fight for these things and to do battle with the powerfully entrenched opponents of any reform who too often take their position out of self-interest without sufficient consideration of what is best in the people’s interest. It doubtless is true that achievement of a modernized, efficient judicial structure requires far-reaching legislative and constitutional changes in most jurisdictions. But, far better to do the arduous labor of getting that essential job done than to promote equally drastic changes which are nothing more than a humiliating confession of defeat.}} {{smaller block|Let us not forget that the integrity and efficiency of the judicial process is the first essential in a democratic society. The confidence of the people in the administration of justice is a prime requisite for free representative government. The public entrusts the legal profession with the sacred mission of dealing with the vital affairs that affect the whole pattern of human relations and certainly has a stake entitling it to demand not only that judges dispense justice impartially and fairly but also that judicial business shall be handled and disposed of by a modernized process which assures a minimum of friction and waste, for such a process also plays a large role in the achievement of impartial and fair justice for all litigants. There is actually no difference between the business of judicial administration and the business of running an industrial or commercial enterprise in the sense that the efficient and businesslike conduct of each means better service for the public. An inefficient and wasteful judicial administration actually can and often does result in a denial of justice, however earnestly an honest and upright judge may strive to prevent that lamentable result.}} {{smaller block|I think it is not difficult to account for today’s heightened interest on the part of the general public throughout our Nation and, indeed, the Free World in the improvement of the process for administering justice. That growing interest is in large measure a product of the tumultuous times in which we live. For these are not only times which have produced a monstrous threat to all freedom, but, by the very reason of that threat, are times which have induced in free peoples everywhere an ever intensifying critical self-examination of the institutions upon which their freedoms depend—an insistence upon exposure of the imperfections of those institutions, a peremptory demand upon those who are entrusted with those institutions to improve and strengthen them the more surely to withstand the onslaught bent upon their destruction. It is but natural then that the judicial process should come under examination, for never was it more true than today that “Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.”}} Mr. President, I submit, just as Justice Brennan has quoted here, which never was more true than today: {{smaller block|Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.}} I contend that since our forefathers placed in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights provisions which are so plain it seems no one could misinterpret them, providing for trial by jury in criminal cases, there can be no question that jury trials are not only desirable but are demanded under the Constitution. There should be no doubt in the mind of anyone, if he studies the Constitution, that the so-called compromise which tends to compromise the Constitution of the United States is not a just, is not a fair, is not a wise, and is not a constitutional provision, and that this bill should be killed. Mr. President, one of the most interesting books ever written on the American system of Government was by Alexis de Tocqueville, a young Frenchman who wrote a book entitled “Democracy in America” after visiting this country during the 1830s. One of the chapters of his book was entitled “Trial by Jury in the United States Considered as a Political Institution.” I shall read excerpts from this chapter because it provides an excellent insight into the prestige attained by the system of jury trial from the observation of an unbiased observer. {{smaller block|[From de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” written after visiting America in the 1830s.]}} {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Trial by Jury in the United States Constitution as a Political Institution}}}}}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury, which is one of the forms of the sovereignty of the people, ought to be compared with the other laws which establish that sovereignty: Composition of the jury in the United States; effect of trial by jury upon the national character; it educates the people; how it tends to establish the influence of the magistrates and to extend the legal spirit among the people.}} {{smaller block|Since my subject has led me to speak of the administration of justice in the United States, I will not pass over it without referring to the institution of the jury. Trial by jury may be considered in two separate points of view: as a judicial, and as a political institution. * * *}} {{smaller block|My present purpose is to consider the jury as a political institution; any other course would divert me from my subject. Of trial by jury considered as a judicial institution I shall here say but little. When the English adopted trial by jury, they were a semi-barbarous people; they have since become one of the most enlightened nations of the earth, and their attachment to this institution seems to have increased with their increasing cultivation. They have emigrated and colonized every part of the habitable globe; some have formed colonies, others independent states; the mother country has maintained its monarchial constitution; many of its offspring have founded powerful republics; but everywhere they have boasted of the privilege of trial by jury. They have established it, or hastened to reestablish it, in all their settlements. A judicial institution which thus obtains the suffrages of a great people for so long a series of ages, which is zealously reproduced at every stage of civilization, in all the climates of the earth, and under every form of human {{SIC|govment|government}}, cannot be contrary to the spirit of justice.}} {{smaller block|But to leave this part of the subject. It would be a very narrow view to look upon the jury as a mere judicial institution; for however great its influence may be upon the decisions of the courts, it is still greater on the destinies of society at large. The jury is, above all, a political institution, and it must be regarded in this light in order to be duly appreciated.}} {{smaller block|By the jury I mean a certain number of citizens chosen by lot and invested with a temporary right of judging. Trial by jury, as applied to the repression of crime, appears to me an eminently republican element in the government, for the following reasons.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury may be aristocratic or democratic, according to the class from which the jurors are taken; but it always preserves its republican character, in that it places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed, or of a portion of the governed, and not in that of the government. Force is never more than a transient element of success, and after force comes the notion of right. A government able to reach its enemies only upon a field of battle would soon be destroyed. The true sanction of political laws is to be found in penal legislation; and if that sanction is wanting, the law will sooner or later lose its cogency. He who punishes the criminal is therefore the real master of society. Now, the institution of the jury raises the people itself, or at least a class of citizens, to the bench of judges. The institution of the jury consequently invests the people, or that class of citizens, with the direction of society.}} {{smaller block|In England the jury is selected from the aristocratic portion of the nation; the aristocracy makes the laws, applies the laws, and punishes infractions of the laws; everything is established upon a consistent footing, and England may with truth be said to constitute an aristocratic republic. In the United States the same system is applied to the whole people. Every American citizen is both an eligible and a legally qualified voter. The jury system as it is understood in America appears to me to be as direct and as extreme a consequence of the sovereignty of the people as universal suffrage. They are two instruments of equal power, which contribute to the supremacy of the majority. All the sovereigns who have chosen to govern by their own authority, and to direct society instead of obeying its directions, have destroyed or enfeebled the institution of the jury. The Tudor monarchs sent to prison jurors who refused to convict, and Napoleon caused them to be selected by his agents.}} {{smaller block|However clear most of these truths may seem to be, they do not command universal assent; and in France, at least, trial by jury is still but imperfectly understood. If the question arises as to the proper qualification of jurors, it is confined to a discussion of the intelligence and knowledge of the citizens who may be returned, as if the jury was merely a judicial institution. This appears to me the least important part of the subject. The jury is preeminently a political institution; it should be regarded as one form of the sovereignty of the people; when that sovereignty is repudiated, it must be rejected, or it must be adapted to the laws by which that sovereignty is established. The jury is that portion of the nation to which the execution of the laws is entrusted, as the legislature is that part of the nation which makes the laws; and in order that society may be governed in a fixed and uniform manner, the list of citizens qualified to serve on juries must increase and diminish with the list of electors. This I hold to be the point of view most worthy of the attention of the legislator; all that remains is merely accessory.}} {{smaller block|I am so entirely convinced that the jury is preeminently a political institution that I still consider it in this light when it is applied in civil causes. Laws are always unstable unless they are founded upon the customs of a nation; customs are the only durable and resisting power in a people. When the jury is reserved for criminal offenses, the people witness only its occasional action in particular cases; they become accustomed to do without it in the ordinary course of life, and it is considered as an instrument, but not as the only instrument, of obtaining justice.}} {{smaller block|When, on the contrary, the jury acts also on civil causes, its application is constantly visible; it affects all the interests of the community; everyone cooperates in its work; it thus penetrates into all the usages of life, it fashions the human mind to its peculiar forms, and is gradually associated with the idea of justice itself.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and man. If it had been as easy to remove the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have perished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that period save the liberties of England. In whatever manner the jury be applied, it cannot fail to exercise a powerful influence upon the national character; but this influence ts prodigiously increased when it is introduced into civil causes. The jury, and more especially the civil jury, serves to communicate the spirit of the judges to the minds of all the citizens; and this spirit, with the habits which attend it, is the soundest preparation for free institutions. It imbues all classes with a respect for the thing judged and with the notion of right. If these two elements be removed, the love of independence becomes a mere destructive passion. It teaches men to practice equity; every man learns to judge his neighbor as he would himself be judged. And this is especially true of the jury in civil causes; for while the number of persons who have reason to apprehend a criminal prosecution is small, everyone is liable to have a lawsuit. The jury teaches every man not to recoil before the responsibility of his own actions and impresses him with that manly confidence without which no political virtue can exist. It invests each citizen with a kind of magistracy; it makes them all feel the duties which they are bound to discharge toward society and the part which they take in its government. By obliging men to turn their attention to other affairs than their own, it rubs off that private selfishness which is the rust of society.}} {{smaller block|The jury contributes powerfully to form the judgment and to increase the natural intelligence of a people; and this, in my opinion, is its greatest advantage. It may be regarded as a gratuitous public school, ever open, in which every juror learns his rights, enters into daily communication with the most learned and enlightened members of the upper classes, and becomes practically acquainted with the laws, which are brought within the reach of his capacity by the efforts of the bar, the advice of the judge, and even the passions of the parties. I think that the practical intelligence and political good sense of the Americans are mainly attributable to the long use that they have made of the jury in civil causes.}} {{smaller block|I do not know whether the jury is useful to those who have lawsuits, but I am certain it is highly beneficial to those who judge them; and I look upon it as one of the most efficacious means for the education of the people which society can employ.}} {{smaller block|What I have said applies to all nations, but the remark I am about to make is peculiar to the Americans and to democratic communities. I have already observed that in democracies the members of the legal profession and the judicial magistrates constitute the only aristocratic body which can moderate the movements of the people. This aristocracy is invested with no physical power; it exercises its conservative influence upon the minds of men; and the most abundant source of its authority is the institution of the civil jury. In criminal causes, when society is contending against a single man, the jury is apt to look upon the judge as the passive instrument of social power and to mistrust his advice. Moreover, criminal causes turn entirely upon simple facts, which commonsense can readily appreciate; upon this ground the judge and the jury are equal. Such is not the case, however, in civil causes; then the judge appears as a disinterested arbiter between the conflicting passions of the parties. The jurors look up to him with confidence and listen to him with respect, for in this instance, his intellect entirely governs theirs. It is the judge who sums up the various arguments which have wearied their memory, and who guides them through the devious course of the proceedings; he points their attention to the exact question of fact that they are called upon to decide and tells them how to answer the question of law. His influence over them is almost unlimited.}} {{smaller block|If I am called upon to explain why I am but little moved by the arguments derived from the ignorance of jurors in civil causes, I reply that in these proceedings, whenever the question to be solved is not a mere question of fact, the jury has only the semblance of a judicial body. The jury only sanctions the decision of the judge; they sanction this decision by the authority of society which they represent, and he by that of reason and of law.}} {{smaller block|The jury, then, which seems to restrict the rights of the judiciary does in reality consolidate its power; and in no country are the judges so powerful as where the people share their privileges. It is especially by means of the jury in civil causes that the American magistrates imbue even the lower classes of society with the spirit of their profession. Thus the jury, which is the most energetic means of making the people rule, is also the most efficacious means of teaching it how to rule well.}} Mr. President, de Tocqueville contributed a great deal to literature and to society. He was a Frenchman who came to our country and studied our form of government. He was so impressed that he wrote the chapter on trial by jury, in which he emphasized the fact that the jury is the heart of the administration of justice in a democracy. On Friday, July 5, 1957, there was printed in the State, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C., an article quoting the then president of the American Bar Association, Mr. David F. Maxwell, on the subject of jury trials. I believe Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Philadelphia bar, of which our distinguished Presiding Officer [Mr. {{sc|Clark}}] is also a member. I am sure that the Presiding Officer, as well as the Senate, will be interested in what Mr. Maxwell had to say on the subject of jury trials, and that the views expressed by him will be of interest to everyone who believes in constitutional government. I read as follows: {{smaller block|The president of the American Bar Association today answered charges that trial by jury is an outmoded, time-consuming process which can be replaced by more efficient legal procedure.}} {{smaller block|David F.

C.) News of June 6, 1957. It is entitled “Jury Trial Is at Heart of Rights Issue” and has this to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|The day after it was reported from Washington that the administration would protest the southern claim that the so-called civil-rights bill would deny the right to trial by jury, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate approved an amendment intended to guarantee that right to persons who might come under an injunction authorized in the proposed law.}} {{smaller block|In his several appearances before the Senate and House committees studying the various proposals, Attorney General Brownell tried to claim that a trial by jury would not be denied. He had rough going, and at times was downright evasive, when Senator {{sc|Sam. J.

Certainly, it would be possible for the courts to deny a jury hearing and a judge, if he chose, could sit in judgment on the testimony as well as the law.}} {{smaller block|Speaking for the administration, Attorney General Brownell is taking his case to the House of Representatives, but the action of the Senate committee on Monday indicates that even a number of northern Democrats and Republicans have been convinced of the facts.}} {{smaller block|The jury trial issue came up in this way:}} {{smaller block|Among the bills included in the civil rights packages (various versions of which have been offered by the administration and by individuals and groups of Democratic and Republican Members of Congress) is one which would set up a special civil rights division of the Department of Justice.}} {{smaller block|It would be manned by a number of assistants to the Attorney General and would have the authority to initiate civil suits against persons accused of violating the civil rights of others or whom it might have reason to believe were about to violate such rights.}} {{smaller block|(At present, it is a criminal offense to violate the civil rights of another. But a person accused of violating such laws has the right to be arraigned before a grand jury and to be tried by a petit jury.)}} {{smaller block|The administration proposal—and members of both parties have supported this or made similar proposals of their own—is to transfer civil rights cases from the criminal to the civil side of the Federal courts. The Government itself would bring such suits, with or without the request of the allegedly injured persons.}} {{smaller block|The Government could ask for and obtain an injunction forbidding anyone to do certain things, such as to refuse a voting certificate to a certain person or to oppose an integration order issued against a certain school. Such action on the part of the defendant might be a violation of an injunction or it might be a violation of a criminal law on civil rights.}} {{smaller block|But in such cases, the Government would bring the individual before the judge on a charge of contempt. And the judge could convict and sentence the individual without a trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|That is what prompted the southern amendment to the bill aimed at assuring a jury trial. And that is the principle Mr. Brownell is assailing in his statements to Congress.}} {{smaller block|He does not deny that trial by jury would be denied the defendants. He merely says the amendment would make the bill ineffective and would weaken the power of the Federal courts to enforce their orders. He says this power to punish for contempt has long been available to the Government in other Federal cases.}} {{smaller block|That much is true. When the Government brings a civil suit and obtains an injunction, contempt can be adjudged and punished without a jury. But these are cases entirely different from those Mr. Brownell proposes to bring in the name of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|In this instance, Mr. Brownell is trying to do in a roundabout way what the Constitution forbids him to do directly; that is, try and convict a person for an alleged crime without a jury.}} Mr. President, here is an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of April 17, 1957. It is entitled “Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} Understands Threat to Liberty in Civil-Rights Bill” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Speaking at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society in Charleston, March 18, 1947, Senator {{sc|Joseph C. O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, stressed the fact that the United States has repudiated the doctrine of arbitrary power.}} {{smaller block|This week, 10 years after he made this statement, Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} gave evidence that he believes what he said. The Democratic Senator lined up with southern critics of the so-called civil-rights bill. He said he was in favor of a civil-rights bill but one that is conceived in justice and freedom rather than in any thought of punishment.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} told reporters that the proposed Presidential Civil Rights Commission to investigate complaints of civil-rights violations could easily do more harm than good. And with respect to another part of the bill vigorously opposed by southern Senators, he said, “I don’t think we should be afraid of a jury trial in matters of this kind.” In announcing his stand on the legislation, he said that the South has made many striking advances in racial relations, while such relations in some other parts of the country have worsened.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}’s stand on the civil-rights bill is of major significance. His statement shows that the South is gaining ground in its battle to convince other regions that the force bills are a threat to the liberties of all Americans.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is not a western conservative like, say, Senator {{sc|Barry Goldwater}}, Republican, of Arizona, who might be expected to line up with southern conservatives. The Senator from Wyoming is a western liberal and an old-time supporter of the New Deal. Hence his acceptance of some of the southern constitutional arguments is all the more meaningful.}} {{smaller block|If Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is convinced that the right to jury trial and other parts of our heritage are being threatened by the civil-rights bill, the likelihood of convincing other northern and western Senators is considerable.}} {{smaller block|In order to overcome the propaganda barriers of the NAACP and convince these Senators, the South must continue to argue its case—and on the highest level. Senator {{sc|Sam Ervin}} of North Carolina has done especially fine work this session in accomplishing just that.}} {{smaller block|The other task facing southerners is that of insisting on respect for law and order throughout our region. The enemies of the South must not have any excuse for urging Federal intervention. Hoodlumism must be put down. The ignorant elements who join the Ku Klux Klan must be made to realize they are under the eyes of local and State police. Responsible men must stay active in movements such as the citizens council, and prevent infiltration by troublemakers or hotheads.}} {{smaller block|If the South can speak with dignity in Washington and act with honesty and good sense at home, there will be more Senator O’Mahoneys who will realize southerners are fighting the good fight for American liberties.}} Mr. President, here is another article from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Trial by Jury Right of All Americans” and it appears in the June 5, 1957, issue of the News and Courier, and has this to say: {{smaller block|A guaranty of trial by jury, squeezed into a civil-rights law by vote of a Senate subcommittee, has been hailed as a southern victory.}} {{smaller block|This victory—though it is little more than solace in a string of defeats—in fact belongs to the American Republic. Southerners are not alone in danger. If the Federal Government can deprive southerners of the right of trial by jury, on the ground that they are unfair to Negroes, it can do the same to citizens of other regions on equally flimsy grounds.}} {{smaller block|Thanks to the NAACP and its political allies, defense of Negroes’ civil rights is popular today. Even at the sacrifice of rights of all citizens, restrictive laws have won serious support. The News and Courier finds biting irony in the need for Congress to guarantee the right of trial by jury. Americans have been brought up in the belief that the United States Constitution meant what it said in guaranteeing them this right.}} {{smaller block|Nowadays, the ruling clique no longer trusts ordinary people to govern themselves. Juries, they fear, will bring in unjust verdicts. The bosses prefer to entrust such delicate matters as civil rights to hand-picked Federal judges, who are screened by the Department of Justice and appointed by the President. With both national parties committed to the NAACP program, no lawyer who takes a strong stand against that program stands much chance of appointment. As older judges die or retire, Attorney General Brownell will make sure, insofar as he is able, that replacements have a “liberal” view of race.}} {{smaller block|With administration of election laws removed from the hands of elected State officials and placed under Federal appointees, government is being removed ever further from the people. The jury system, safeguard of Anglo–Saxon liberty, may yet be a victim of alien notions now gathering power in our Republic.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the May 10, 1957, issue of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “The Civil-Rights Fight and Trial-by-Jury Issue” and was written by the distinguished southern newspaperman, Dr. John Temple Graves. Here is what it has to say on the jury-trial issue: {{bc|{{smaller block|<poem>{{fqm|“}}Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight * * *”</poem>}}}} {{smaller block|Time accommodates.}} {{smaller block|Its comment on jury trials last week overlooked the Federal march of time.}} {{smaller block|Admitting that the trial-by-jury issue has come to dominate the civil-rights fight, the magazine pontificated that “the contempt citation is the judiciary’s historic enforcement tool.” It avowed that “jury trials in contempt cases have absolutely no basis in equity or constitutional law and precious little legislative sanction.”}} {{smaller block|The trick in this extraordinary statement is in Time’s small print at the bottom of the page. It explains that “with a single exception (the Norris–La Gaurdia Act covering labor disputes) trial by jury has never been required in contempt cases to which the United States has been a party.” With the United States Government proposing now to be a party to just about everything in heaven, earth, and the waters beneath—a new situation exists.}} {{smaller block|The Constitution loves the principle of trial by jury and says so over and over again. That great basic principle, rather than any technicality, is what is involved for the South.}} {{smaller block|Call it contempt or something else, let the Government be a party or not a party, what concerns us and what concerned the makers of the Constitution is that citizens in handcuffs shall not be adjudged by those who put the handcuffs on them, that the right of an accused to be properly tried in the Anglo–Saxon ideal shall not be abridged in the name of contempt or participation of the Government.}} {{smaller block|The Constitution speaks for this principle in article 3. The fifth amendment speaks for it, and the sixth, and the seventh.}} {{smaller block|Nothing in the whole instrument is more emphatic.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the April 8, 1957, issue of South, the news magazine of Dixie. It is entitled “Force Bill ‘Liberals’ Would Kill Jury Trial.” Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|It is incredible that those who like to boast that they are liberals and protectors of individual rights are crying the loudest for the currently misnamed civil-rights legislation which would deny alleged violators the right to trial by jury. The politically inspired anti-South force bill package has induced such a state of hypnosis in the self-styled liberals that they want to replace constitutional guarantees of civil liberties with their own false notions of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|If the question of race were not at issue, the very people who are pressing for passage of this abominable travesty on constitutional principle would be the first to denounce it for discarding the sacred right of trial by jury. At the outset the legislation violates the rights spelled out in article III., section 3, and by the seventh amendment, one of the historic ten making up the Bill of Rights. It would empower the United States Attorney General to seek injunctions against persons suspected of being about to violate the so-called civil-rights measure. Then a Federal judge, acting also as prosecutor and jury, would decree a whole community or State in contempt. An individual cited for contempt would be tried without a jury by the judge who cited him.}} {{smaller block|The proponents of this evil proposal know exactly what they are doing. By design they are taking away the right of jury trial. In fact, they are bold to say that if they did not set aside the right of trial by jury, they could not get convictions in the South. To allow jury trials, they say, would be to gut the bill. Attorney General Brownell is horror-struck at the thought that the no-jury-trial provision be stricken. President Eisenhower, who violates a campaign pledge made at Miami by pushing this legislation, says he would have to get Brownell’s opinion as to whether to sign or veto a civil-rights bill containing the assurance of jury trial in contempt cases. The civil strife proponents protest that this guaranty—in the Constitution which Eisenhower, Brownell, and all Congressmen are sworn to uphold—would cripple the bill. Has the President so soon forgotten that he said at Miami, 2 weeks before the election, that civil-rights problems should be handled to the greatest extent on a local and State basis?}} {{smaller block|Surely our liberals know that Hitler, Mussolini, and all tyrants from the time of King John (until forced to sign the Magna Carta) opposed jury trials because they would cripple their programs.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the April 14, 1957, issue of the Greenville, S. C., News. It is entitled “Jackie Robinson on Meet the Press: Negro Athlete Favors Jury Trials” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Jackie Robinson, Negro baseball star, when asked if he favored jury trials for civil-rights defendants, said Sunday night he would personally prefer a jury trial.}} {{smaller block|The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People strongly opposes a jury trial guaranty in criminal injunction cases arising under the bill.}} {{smaller block|Robinson is leading the NAACP’s freedom-fund campaign for a million dollars to attain first-class citizenship for all members.}} {{smaller block|The former Brooklyn Dodger told an NBC Meet the Press television panel that he did not know what the million dollars would be spent for—possibly for lawsuits against school segregation.}} {{smaller block|He said he favored the civil-rights bill but knows very little about it.}} {{smaller block|Frank Van Der Linden, this newspaper’s Washington correspondent, asked the questions about the civil-rights bill.}} This is a man, Mr. President, who favors the civil-rights bill, but even he says he favors a trial by jury. That is what the House did on this so-called compromise. In effect, they have nullified the right of trial by jury. There are very, very few instances in which a judge, when he finds a man guilty of contempt, would give a sentence of more than 45 days in prison or a fine of more than $300. That simply means the practical effect is that the jury trial has been completely nullified. As I have said earlier, and as I will say later in my address, the right of jury trial is something the Constitution grants to the citizens of the United States. The Congress does not have the authority to take the jury trial away from the people of America. Mr. President, I have an excerpt from an editorial from the August 26, 1957, issue of the Columbia (S. C.) Record. It is entitled “Jury-Trial Compromise No Compromise,” and this is what it has to say: {{smaller block|The “compromise” on the jury-trial amendment to the civil-rights bill, worked out between the House and Senate leaders of both parties, is anything but a genuine compromise. It is a nullification of the jury-trial principle, for which the southern Democrats fought so valiantly in the Senate.}} {{smaller block|The amendment written into the bill by the Senate provided that in all cases of criminal contempt defendants should be entitled to jury trials, guaranteed by the Constitution to all persons accused of crime. This applied not only to criminal contempt charges growing out of voting-right cases, but also to other criminal contempt proceedings as well.}} {{smaller block|The so-called compromise allows jury trials only in voting-rights cases and then only after a defendant has been tried and convicted without a jury trial and sentenced to more than 45 days’ imprisonment and a $300 fine. In such a case the defendant could ask for a jury trial and the case would then be tried ''de novo'' before a jury. But no jury, of course, could try such a case ''de novo'' in fact. Every juror would know that the defendant had been found guilty by a judge and given more than a minimum sentence. This is a condition precedent to a jury trial in these voting-right cases. And no jury trial under such circumstances is anything approaching the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the August 25, 1957, issue of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Jury Trial ‘Compromise’ Is False Bait in Wicked Trap for Liberty,” and here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|A proposed compromise now pending in Congress is as wicked and immoral, in our opinion, as total denial of trial by jury under Federal election laws.}} {{smaller block|Reports from Washington indicate a likelihood that the civil rights force bill may be rammed through Congress with this compromise to grease the way. Perhaps the northern scrambles for Negro votes and their “liberal” southern allies have the power in Congress to enact this hateful law. They should not get even silent support from anyone who loves the American Republic.}} {{smaller block|The compromise is really no compromise at all. It would grant the opportunity to seek a new trial before a jury by a defendant in an election case who had received a sentence greater than a $1,000 fine or 45 days in jail.}} The amount there, incidentally, Mr. President, should be corrected. Instead of a $1,000 fine, it should be a $300 fine. {{smaller block|But the size of a fine and the duration of imprisonment are not the key issue in this legislation. Penalties may be amended once the principle is set up. Besides, imprisoning State election officials even for a short time could rig the outcome of voting.}} {{smaller block|The key issue here is whether the liberty of a citizen, and the constitutional rights of the States to conduct free elections, should be sacrificed for the sake of current political advantage of national parties and politicians.}} As I have said before, Mr. President—to digress there—the only purpose of this so-called right-to-vote bill is to advance the cause of the national political parties with the minorities and to advance the cause of certain politicians. If it were not for the purpose of both parties playing to the minorities and advancing the cause of certain politicians to high offices, I do not believe this bill would ever have been introduced. It is a disgrace to the United States even to have the Congress consider such an abominable and obnoxious bill. {{smaller block|Behind this force bill lies a game of power politics. Both national parties are struggling to control the votes of herded Negroes in big northern cities and their liberal allies. These bloc voters are believed to hold the balance of political power in the United States.}} {{smaller block|Buried beneath the nauseating political greed that has produced this force bill are principles once dear to Americans. The bill has many of the earmarks of totalitarian government that the Constitution was built to prevent.}} Among these earmarks are Federal control of elections, seizing the power of the ballot box from the people most likely to be affected; substitution of judges for juries in enforcement of the law; and secrecy in working up prosecutions.}} {{smaller block|The bill would set up a powerful commission on the phony pretense of guarding voting rights of minority groups. This Commission’s actions would be shielded from public view. Persons are forbidden under penalties to make known what it is doing. The Star Chamber—a tyrannous device once used by English Kings—thus would be imposed for the first time on the United States.}} {{smaller block|Southerners may be overwhelmed by superior force, but they should go down fighting every step of the way.}} {{smaller block|In honorable defeat they may sound an alarm to fellow Americans not yet awake to dangers to the Republic. Passage of the civil-rights force bill would be a defeat for all citizens of whatever race or region, for it would help to set the stage for dictatorship and oppression. The compromise on which passage now seems to hinge is only a deceptive detail in a dirty business.}} Mr. President, I have here an excellent editorial from the Washington Evening Star of July 12, 1957. It is an editorial full of quotes, but the editor made his point well in this editorial without even having to insert his own comments. Here is what the editorial says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Brownell}} ''v.'' {{sc|Norris}}}}}} {{smaller block|Attorney General Brownell (in a letter explaining the civil-rights bill):}} {{smaller block|“Enactment of legislation providing for jury trial in contempt cases arising out of governmental litigation would undermine the authority of the Federal courts by seriously weakening their power to enforce their lawful orders. The effect of adopting current proposals for jury trial would be to weaken and undermine the authority of the Federal courts by making their every order, even when issued after due hearing and affirmed on appeal, reviewable by a local jury. * * *}} {{smaller block|“Furthermore the proposed amendment to existing procedures that is being advocated under the innocuous slogan of jury trial would permit practical nullification of the effectiveness of the proposed civil-rights legislation. The enforcement of any court order may require prompt and vigorous action if it is to be effective. Prompt action will often be vital in civil-rights cases, especially election cases, where the registration period or the election may pass while enforcement is delayed. The injection of a jury trial between an order of a court enjoining discrimination against Negroes in an election, and the enforcement of that order would provide numerous opportunities for delay beyond the time when the order could have practical effect.”}} {{smaller block|The late Senator George W. Norris (insisting on the right of trial by jury, by Congressional enactment, in every case of indirect contempt):}} {{smaller block|“I agree that any man charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.”}} I wish to repeat that statement. He said: {{smaller block|I agree that any many charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.}} Under the proposed compromise amendment which came from the House, the people will not get a jury trial. In 99 percent of the cases the judge will sentence people without a jury trial. It is said, “Well, they are able to get a jury trial if the fine is more than $300 or if the imprisonment is for more than 45 days.” That is not the point. The point is that in 99 percent of the cases the compromise would deny to the citizens a jury trial, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Congress should not be a party to violating the Constitution of the United States by passing the compromise amendment. I continue to read from the editorial: {{smaller block|“It is no answer to say that there will sometimes be juries which will not convict. That is a charge which can be made against our jury system. Every man who has tried lawsuits before juries, every man who has ever presided in court and heard jury trials, knows that juries make mistakes, as all other human beings do, and they sometimes render verdicts which seem almost obnoxious. But it is the best system I know of. I would not have it abolished; and when I see how juries will really do justice when a biased and prejudiced judge is trying to lead them astray I am confirmed in my opinion that, after all, our jury system is one which the American people, who believe in liberty and justice, will not dare to surrender. I like to have trial by jury preserved in all kinds of cases where there is a dispute of facts.”}} Mr. President, I have before me an editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) News of March 29, 1957, entitled “How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?” It reads: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?}}}}}} {{smaller block|Rather smugly, perhaps, we Americans have taken for granted our right to a trial before a jury when we stand accused of violating the law.}} {{smaller block|So fixed in our system of jurisprudence and our common concepts of justice is the jury trial that few of us ever have stopped to consider the difference between having our guilt or innocence determined by a group of ordinary citizens and having a judge, a creature of the Government, mete out justice singlehandedly, as he alone sees it.}} {{smaller block|Article III., section 2 of the United States Constitution, says that “the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.”}} {{smaller block|The sixth amendment, article VI. of the Bill of Rights, spells out further the right to the accused in criminal proceedings “to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. * * *”}} {{smaller block|It goes on to guarantee the accused the right to be informed specifically of the charges against him, to confront the witnesses against him, to subpena witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel.}} {{smaller block|The seventh amendment, article VII. of the Bill of Rights, provides that in suits at common law the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.}} {{smaller block|One would think that, with all these references in the Constitution, the right to a jury trial would be secure. But liberal elements, including our own Department of Justice, advocating passage of proposed civil-rights legislation are teaching us that this basic right is not so secure as we might have thought.}} {{smaller block|For the bills now before the Congress would, in fact, deny persons accused of violating the civil rights of others the right of a trial by a jury of citizens of their State and district. And the NAACP and Attorney General Brownell are insisting on this provision of the bill. Attempts of southern Senators and Congressmen to write into it a guaranty of that right have thus far been beaten down.}} {{smaller block|If the bill is enacted, the Government would be empowered to bring civil, rather than criminal charges, against an individual accused of violating someone else’s rights. He would be prosecuted by a Government attorney before a Federal judge, who might be sent in from outside his State, who would pass on the facts as well as the law and would pass sentence.}} {{smaller block|The accused would be just as apt to go to jail on the civil charge as he would if he were charged with a criminal offense in which the jury trial would be guaranteed. Indeed, the chances of his going to jail might be even greater.}} {{smaller block|But that is only part of it.}} {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.

And how liberal is it?}} Mr. President, I wish to repeat a paragraph in the editorial which I believe is most important. It should appeal to every lawyer, and, in fact, to every citizen. It reads: {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.}} Mr. President, I believe we are setting a very dangerous precedent when the Government can bring suits of the kind provided in the civil-rights bill, even if an individual does not complain. The Government can file a suit in behalf of an individual, even if the individual has not complained, and it can bring a suit for an individual who has complained. In either case, the Government can substitute its name in behalf of the defendant in bringing the case. Furthermore, the Government would bear the cost of prosecuting the case. The poor defendant must pay his own expense. If an individual wishes to bring a case in court, why should he not pay his own expense? Why should the Federal Government bear the expense of a person whose statement may be true or which may not be true? I can foresee untold litigation. I can see all kinds of fabrications being made in order to have cases brought. It is a dangerous bill, Mr. President. It is far more dangerous than I believe the average man on the street has been able to understand. The average man in the street does not realize what is in the bill. I cannot imagine why Members of Congress would even consider passing such a bill. Again I say that it would not even have been introduced, in my opinion, or given any consideration at all, if it were not purely a political bill. Mr. President, I have an editorial published in the Greenville (S. C.)

The bitterness and the old suspicions are being revived.}} {{smaller block|A few years ago in a prosperous South Carolina industrial city, a joint committee of white and Negro citizens conducted a survey of the needs of the Negro community, ranging from health and housing to transportation and recreation. Much progress came of it.}} {{smaller block|Also, a few years ago, with the help of the newspapers and interested white citizens, certain racial barriers in the public hospital were broken down and qualified Negro doctors were granted staff privileges for the first time on full equality with their white colleagues.}} {{smaller block|Along about the same time, the newspapers and interested white citizens campaigned for better housing for Negroes. City substandard housing laws were strengthened and better enforcement machinery established. The improvement in rental property has been marked.}} {{smaller block|Also, it was urged that property be made available to Negroes of means who wanted to build better homes away from congested areas in which Negroes tend to congregate. Subsequently, a fairly exclusive Negro residential section, near white neighborhoods, was started. There were no objections.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|PROGRESS IS SLOWED}}}} {{smaller block|This sort of things would be more difficult now, if not impossible, in no small part because the Negro is reluctant to cooperate. Both he and his white friends are subject to pressure and unpleasantness from radical elements among their respective races. The Negro apparently has been led to believe the moon may be within his grasp; and lawless and more extreme whites have been aroused.}} {{smaller block|In many cities in the South, the newspapers have sought for years to treat the Negro with the dignity any citizen deserves in their handling of the news. Special sections devoted to news of the Negro community, often prepared by Negro reporters, were started. Until recently, there was no protest. Now there are murmurs, direct protests, and anonymous letters.}} {{smaller block|None of this has to do with integration. Neither race is ready for integration, and may never be. But if they become so it will be on the only basis of successful close human association—natural affinity, mutual appreciation, and individual choice.

The extension of the judicial process into areas it was not intended to reach and stretching it for purposes it is incapable of serving; the striking down of the police power of the States in field after field; the unprecedented use of the injunctive power without jury trial to punish for contempt persons not before the court; all of these, as able judges and lawyers are solemnly warning, threaten the future security of all Americans.}} {{smaller block|The granting of the powers the Justice Department is now asking can only hasten this process. Even the layman can see that. The proposed commission, with power to investigate and harass at its own will could, in the wrong hands, become an instrument of coercion and intimidation.}} {{smaller block|Like other Americans, no southerner of good conscience condones the denial of rights, either by violation of the law or by threat or violence.

C.) Times and Democrat of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “On Jury Trials.” This is what it has to say on this subject: {{smaller block|The committee in the Senate which has been considering the civil-rights bill has added an amendment to the bill which would allow persons accused of contempt to be given jury trials. Many Senators who were and are in favor of the civil-rights bill are supporting this amendment.}} {{smaller block|We do not see how Congress can go wrong in providing jury trials for persons accused of contempt. While we do not wish to join in a wholesale assault on the judiciary of this Nation, it is nevertheless true that the judiciary—like the other branches of the Government—must have its limitations.}} {{smaller block|No one branch of our Government functions perfectly, nor is it made up of perfect citizens. The judicial branch has assumed increasing power in recent years and it would be wise to safeguard the right of persons to a trial by jury because of what might follow if this right is denied citizens. It may be that only one issue is involved at present, but the future might well turn up an undesirable situation in which the principle wherein judges who find American citizens guilty of contempt, exercise such unlimited powers concerning various issues and freedom that any bill limiting the right of jury trial would be a tragedy and result in injustice to many Americans.}} {{smaller block|We do not believe that any one section of the country has a monopoly on all the good people in the United States. We believe that trial by jury is the best possible system establishing guilt and that the people themselves, who make up our juries, will come nearer seeing that justice is done than any group, acting individually, no matter how talented the various individuals may be.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Columbia (S. C.) State of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “A Wise Provision,” and here is what it has to say on the question of jury trials: {{smaller block|Administration forces fell before six Democrats and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who insisted upon including in the so-called civil-rights bill a proviso guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused in court in civil-rights cases. In supporting the amendment as a poor substitute for killing the bill, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} explained that the section would give civil-rights defendants the same right now enjoyed by trade unionists in labor injunction cases.}} {{smaller block|The development does not, however, meet with the approval of Attorney General Brownell, who has been playing out of position before now in lobbying for controversial and doubtful legislation, arraying section against section and class against class. He complains the proviso would permit practical nullification of proposed civil-rights legislation. In the words of Orphan Annie, “Would that be bad?”}} {{smaller block|One wonders just what the advocates of such legislation are after. Could they be seeking to destroy the Constitution?}} {{smaller block|Everything considered, the section guaranteeing jury trials to defendants in civil-rights cases follows the orderly procedure defined by the Founding Fathers as to the rights and dignity of the individual. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal triumphs of our Constitution as inherited from Magna Carta. There is no reason why any exception should be made to gratify the unilateral zeal of special interests of self-appointed reregulators.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, of July 10, 1957. Here is what it has to say: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|A Principle of Rights: South Making Its Point}}}}}} {{smaller block|More Senators, it appears, are seeing the validity of the South’s insistence on trial by jury as a fixed point of law and due process—{{SIC|bone|borne}} of contention with the civil-rights brigade. They are seeing, surely, what logic underscores: that if this principle falls under the impact of biased thinking against the South, it falls for all. It is not, therefore, a regional issue, but national.

By what process of competent investigation have these civil-rights firebrands arrived at a conclusion of wholesale indictment?}} {{smaller block|Voting is a privilege, as well as a duty, of citizenship, asserted and protected by law. With that principle there can be no quarrel.

When you sacrifice one part for another you decrease and endanger the total. When the right to jury trial is impeached to save the right to vote there is net loss, and the same loss runs the whole constitutional gamut.}} {{smaller block|Basically, all American rights are civil rights. States’ rights are civil. The rights of Congress against the Supreme Court are civil, and of the executive against each, and vice versa.}} {{smaller block|And when the Federal Government (or the State) invades areas never intended or authorized there is violation of the most civil right of all—the right to be let alone.}} {{smaller block|If the Founding Fathers made a mistake, if they failed to look ahead enough, if they should have anticipated a future so social and interrelated that nothing short of a totalitarian central government and law would serve, we should face it and get a new Constitution.

The Baltimore Sun nails it thus: “The injunction contemplated would forbid actions already forbidden under Federal criminal laws. This being so, the injunction procedure is obviously a judicial shortcut, and one which would deprive those cited for contempt of a right which would be guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution (if they) were indicted for the same offense. It is proposed to assure one right—the right to vote—by ignoring another right—the right to a jury trial.”}} {{smaller block|As pointed out here many times, jury trials should be stretched just as far as contempt is stretched, you would think. The civil-rights bill would stretch contempt into areas that ordinarily involve jury trial.

Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question, with the understanding that he will not lose his right to the floor, and the understanding that it will not be considered a second speech or jeopardize the Senator’s right to the floor? Mr. THURMOND. If unanimous consent is granted, under the conditions which the distinguished Senator has outlined, I will be pleased to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from California? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I shall preface my question by this brief statement of fact, namely, since the House has adopted a ''sine die'' adjournment resolution, and there is no fixed period for adjournment, and the Senate can, and in my judgment will, continue in session as long as it is necessary to complete its business, I put these questions in all seriousness to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina: First. What is the Senator’s purpose by his interesting but prolonged remarks? Is it a matter of education of the Senate or of the country? Second. Is it to establish a record of discussion on the floor of the Senate? Third. Is it merely to delay a vote on the civil rights bill, which is the pending business? Fourth. Is it to prevent a final vote on H. R. 6127, the so-called civil rights bill? Fifth. Is it to make friends and to influence other Senators in the southern position? Sixth. Is it to emphasize to the Senate the need for a change, beginning in January, of rule XXII.? There may be other reasons, but I should be very much interested—and I believe the Senate would be interested also—if the Senator from South Carolina would agree to indicate the purpose of his prolonged address. Mr. THURMOND. I would merely say that my purpose in making the extended address is for educational purposes—to educate the Senate and the people of the country. There is no question in my mind that the so-called civil-rights bill violates the Constitution of the United States. I do not believe the Senator was in the Chamber when I spoke earlier and cited a decision pointing out that criminal contempt has been held to be a crime and that under the Constitution of the United States it is provided that a man charged with crime shall get a jury trial. The so-called compromise bill provides that if a person is sentenced by a judge by being fined more than $300 or imprisoned for more than 45 days, he will get a jury trial. The Constitution does not say that. The Constitution provides that if he is charged with a crime, he shall get a jury trial. I believe in the Constitution. I believe that the Constitution is clear. I hope the Senator will take the time one of these days—probably he will not have an opportunity soon—to read the address I have made in which I have gone into these matters and have tried to delineate them and point them out for the benefit of the American people, as well as for the benefit of the Senate. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am confident that the pending bill is a dangerous bill in a number of ways. I have pointed out that it is necessary that every State in the Nation have laws to protect the right to vote. The Senator’s own State of California has such laws. I started with the State of Alabama and read the laws for every State. Those laws were confirmed to be accurate by the Library of Congress. I read the State laws beginning with Alabama and ending with Wyoming. Every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote. I say there is no need for the pending bill. This is a matter that comes under the Constitution, and it should be left to the States. It is a State matter. It is not a Federal matter. Furthermore, the Federal Government has invaded the field. It has already invaded the field. I believe it made a mistake when it did so. I should like to invite the attention of the Senator—again I do not believe he was in the Chamber when I referred to it previously—section 594 of chapter 29 of title 18 of the United States Code. That section provides: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield again under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. That is the Federal law today. If anyone is being denied his right to vote today he has recourse to that statute. If anyone is being denied the right to vote and complains about it, the Justice Department fails to do its duty if it fails to prosecute under that section of the Federal statute. Either that condition exists or there are no just complaints. The Committee on the Judiciary held hearings for months on the question, and it did not have before it one valid complaint. It had some fictitious complaints from a parish in Mississippi. It turned out that they asked a witness to return the next day, but he did not return, and it proved that the whole testimony was a fabrication, according to the chairman of the committee. Therefore, there are State laws which protect the right to vote, and there is a Federal law which protects the right to vote. Under that act, if a man is tried, he would have a right to trial by jury. Under the so-called compromise, if he is tried, he would not have the right of trial by jury if the sentence were less than $300 or if the imprisonment were for less than 45 days. Ninety-nine percent of all the criminal contempt cases would fall within that sphere. I was a circuit court judge for 8 years and heard cases all over South Carolina. I cannot remember the case of even one man who was sentenced by me or by any other circuit court judge in South Carolina for contempt of court for longer than 45 days in jail. Therefore, the effect of the so-called compromise is to deny to the citizens of South Carolina and of the United States the right to a jury trial, as is guaranteed in several places in the Constitution. That is the reason I have made this extended address. It is to call to the attention of the Senate and to the people of the Nation that the pending bill is a dangerous bill. In my opinion, it is purely a political bill. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions as heretofore stated? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I can assure the Senator, whether we make that proviso in our remarks back and forth, the Senator will be fully protected in his rights to the floor. Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield to the Senator from California under those conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I did listen to the earlier part of the Senator’s address. I was in the Chamber at the time. I must confess that for several hours I did get some sleep and was able to freshen up and to change my clothes, and I am now back in the Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. I notice that the Senator looks very fresh at about 6:45 in the morning. Mr. KNOWLAND. Yes. I am glad to be here with the Senator. Of course, the question which obviously disturbed a majority of the two Houses of Congress was that the statutes which are now on the statute books were not effective in protecting those constitutional rights. The Senators who felt that way are just as sincere as the Senator from South Carolina. I know the Senator from South Carolina has a deep conviction and is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. However, I refer to the provisions of section 1 of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, which provides: {{smaller block|The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.}} Section 2 of the 15th amendment reads: {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.}} Both sections point up the fundamental constitutional right of American citizens and clearly underscore the fact that Congress not only has the right, but the responsibility in this field. The Senator may feel that in his State or perhaps in other States—and I have no doubt it is true in many areas of the South—there is no problem relative to the voting rights of American citizens. But at least the predominant opinion in Congress indicates that there is also a strong feeling that in many areas—and this may not be related only to the South, for that matter—the full rights under the 15th amendment are not being effectively implemented. It was for that reason that the House, by a vote, I believe, of more than 2 to 1, and the Senate finally by a very substantial majority, passed the bill, which is now going through another legislative process. It finally came back to the Senate floor after the House had concurred and amended the Senate version, as the House had a right to do. My only point is that obviously the Senate of the United States is going to stay in session and complete work on the proposed legislation. It may sit for the remainder of the week, and it may sit next month and, if necessary, the month after that. I wish to emphasize to the Senator from South Carolina that, so far as the recommendations of the minority leader might be followed—and I know of no difference of opinion so far as the majority is concerned, although I cannot speak for the majority, and I would not attempt to do so—there will be no ''sine die'' adjournment resolution adopted by the Senate which would permit Congress to adjourn the first session of the 85th Congress until we have completed the work on the pending legislation, which is the civil-rights bill, and completed the work on the proposed legislation dealing with the mutual aid appropriation bill. Therefore, there is no fixed hour and date of adjournment. I was wondering, therefore, why the Senator was making his extended address, and that is the reason I asked the questions I asked of him. He said he was making the address for the purpose of an educational campaign, for the benefit of the country and the Senate. I was wondering whether he hoped to prevent passage of the bill or merely delay its passage, or whether he had some other reason in mind. Mr. THURMOND. In answer to the distinguished Senator, I wish to say that I should be highly pleased if the bill did not pass. I should like to ask the Senator this question: Under the statute which I have just read—and that is not a State statute, but a Federal statute, which provides “whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote as he may choose,” and so forth, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both—is there any deficiency in the statute? Is that not as clear as it can be? If anyone interferes with another’s right to vote, or intimidates, or if he threatens or coerces, he shall be punished. Is that not what it says? If that is the case, why does the Senator believe we should have another statute on voting added to it? Is this statute deficient? The Senator says the present laws are defective, as I understand. The statute I have read is a criminal statute. It will punish a guilty person by fining him for as much as $1,000 and could send him to jail for a year. In what respect does the Senator believe the statute is defective? Mr. KNOWLAND. I shall not at this hour get into a detailed legal argument, because I am not a lawyer, but a newspaperman; furthermore, I would not attempt to put myself up against the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, who has been a judge in his own State and has been for a long time a distinguished member of the bar. I have listened to the arguments on the floor of the Senate. I have read a number of the reports and the proceedings, and I have had some discussions with people who are familiar with the circumstances connected with the subject. I do know that those in the Department of Justice who have been concerned with this problem apparently feel that that statute is not effective so far as the constitutional rights of American citizens are concerned. Secondly, I am not in a position to argue with the Senator relative to what the legal definition of coercion is. I do say to the Senator that I believe there are various forms of coercion, some of which might be very difficult to prove in a court of law, but which might still be equally effective in keeping people from exercising their voting rights. The coercion might consist of economic pressure, or there might be some difficulty about finding work in a community or there might be the difficulty of a small merchant maintaining his business. It might be very difficult to trace such things to the fact that a person had tried to go to a voting place on voting day to cast his vote. Nevertheless, such coercion could be quite effective in keeping a person from exercising his right to the voting franchise. It is also true that in the debate which has taken place on the floor of the Senate it was disclosed that in one of the parishes or voting districts in a Southern State which had been mentioned on the floor of the Senate, there had been the situation where certain facts were laid before a grand jury in that particular State, and the facts were very clear, but still no action was taken in that particular situation. I will say to the Senator that it should be remembered that the bill has now been stripped practically to a voting-rights bill. Furthermore, I certainly believe that the fundamental right of an American citizen in this day and age should be protected, because every citizen has the right to vote. If that right is assured to a citizen, in time he may help himself secure the other civil rights to which he is entitled and which are guaranteed to him by the 14th amendment. The bill before us, as I say, is primarily a voting-rights bill. Those who have had some responsibility in this field—and I think some knowledge of it also—feel that the procedure outlined in the bill would at least facilitate the exercise of the voting rights of American citizens in all sections of the country. Mr. THURMOND. I might say to the distinguished Senator that he is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. Even though he is not a lawyer, he knows a statute when he hears one read. The criminal statute I have read is just as plain as any criminal statute can be. I am in favor of having every qualified voter enjoy the right of franchise. I want to say that in my State every qualified voter has that privilege. No one—white, colored, or anyone else—is denied the right to vote in South Carolina. The statute I have read protects people from being coerced and intimidated and threatened in any way. If there is any violation of law now, a person who is discriminated against may go to the Department of Justice, and under the statute I have read a violator of that statute will be either sent to jail or fined or both. What the proposed compromise would do would be to take away that right of trial by jury. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say that both the original bill as passed by the two Houses and the final form now before us are not intended to deprive anyone of his vote, but to encourage the constitutional right of people to enjoy the right to vote. The fact of the matter is that quite a due process procedure is set up. If a person comes forward and alleges that he has been denied the right, there is a procedure set up by which he may go into Federal court, under his constitutional right, under the 15th amendment and the other constitutional rights he has, and make certain allegations. The judge must make certain findings. If he finds the facts are correct, he issues a court order, directed to what we in our State would call the registrar of voters, but what in other States might be the county clerk, or whatever else he might be, and says, in effect, “You are violating the constitutional rights of this man. He is being discriminated against under the laws of this State. Put him on the registration rolls.” If the local official complies with the law and complies with the Constitution, nobody is fined, and nobody goes to jail. It is only if the local official or the local individuals involved in the case ignore the order of the court and, in effect, say that “we will not comply with the order seeking to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens,” that the judge may, under either civil contempt, which may be used in most cases, and may in most cases be effective, or under the criminal contempt provisions, impose the penalties. So this bill is not seeking to punish people. To the contrary, it is seeking to gain for American citizens the very fundamental right to vote. If nobody is denied the right to vote in the State of the Senator from South Carolina, there will not be a single citizen in the State of South Carolina who will be involved in either a civil or criminal contempt. If nobody is being denied the right to vote in any other State, there will not be a single citizen, man or woman, who will be involved in either civil or criminal contempt under this bill. There will not be large numbers of persons who will be fined or jailed for 10 days or 30 days or 45 days, to force compliance with the constitutional rights of American citizens. That is going to be so only if the conditions which the Senator says prevail in his State do not prevail in other areas of the country and large numbers of American citizens are denied their constitutional rights. It seems to me it is all clear and simple. The Senator has nothing to fear in his own State or in any other State, because if nobody is being denied the right to vote, nobody can be punished by either civil or criminal contempt proceedings under the bill. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to say, in reply to that statement, whether a single person in South Carolina would be affected by the bill or not would not change my opinion about the bill, because the bill as passed by the House affects American citizens everywhere. The bill the Senate passed delineated and made a distinction between civil contempt, the purpose of which is to bring about compliance with an order, and criminal contempt, the purpose of which is to punish for a crime. A criminal contempt has been held, in a court decision which I cited earlier today, to be a crime. Criminal contempt is a crime. The bill as passed by the House provides for punishment for criminal contempt and provides that a judge can try the case, in his discretion. The defendant does not get a jury trial for a criminal contempt unless the punishment goes beyond 45 days or beyond a $300 fine. I am not concerned about the people of South Carolina violating the voting rights of citizens, because I do not think anybody in South Carolina is violating anyone’s voting rights. I presume this bill is aimed chiefly at helping the Negroes, is it not, Senator? Mr. KNOWLAND. No. The bill would be aimed at any American citizen, without regard to race, creed, or color, whose voting rights under the 15th amendment would be denied. Mr. THURMOND. As a matter of fact, it is the Negro whom it is chiefly aimed to help. Is that not a fact? Mr. KNOWLAND. I suppose most allegations of a denial of voting rights come from colored citizens of the United States, but I assume the same situation might apply to Indians, in some instances, or might apply to others who might be entitled, under the Constitution, to the right to vote; but it is not aimed at any one race or one section of the country. The Constitution, as the Senator well knows, and I think would not dispute, applies to all 48 States of the Union, and not merely to a part of the Union. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is correct, but I refer to the practical purpose of the bill. I understood that was so admitted, and one reason why the right of trial by jury was attempted to be taken away was that southern juries would not convict in cases involving the right of Negroes to vote. For the Senator’s information, in my State I would like him to know that in the 1952 election President Eisenhower lacked just a few votes of carrying the State. The Negroes voted in heavy numbers. The Negro newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer, of Columbia, S. C., published by and for Negroes, bragged about the fact that they were responsible for winning the State for Stevenson. It said that more than 80,000 of them had voted in that election, and that represented about one-fourth of the entire votes cast in that general election. The Negroes of our State comprise only 40 percent of the population. If they voted to the extent of almost one-fourth of all the votes cast in that election—and they probably voted more, because they admitted they cast that many—think it is indicative that the Negroes are voting in large numbers. Of course, they are not so well qualified to vote as are the White people. I do not know of a Negro in South Carolina who is qualified and wants to vote who is denied that privilege. So Negroes are voting in my State. Mr. KNOWLAND. I might say to the Senator I was in his State in 1952. I happened to travel with then General Eisenhower, who was a candidate for the presidency before he became President of the United States. I attended meetings with the President-to-be. The point I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not dispute the fact, as stated by the distinguished Senator, that a large number—perhaps a good majority—of the Negro citizens of this country or of his State may be registered Democrats. I think they may continue to vote for the Democratic ticket, so far as that is concerned. They may have been responsible, as the Senator says, for having carried South Carolina for Stevenson— Mr. THURMOND. That is what they said. Mr. KNOWLAND. Or, at least, that is what they said; but that would not change my viewpoint in the slightest, as a Republican, if they were entitled as American citizens to vote, even though they were responsible for the defeat of my party in that State. I might say that in the northern areas, the heavily populated areas, with large Negro populations, for the most part Negroes have voted the Democratic ticket, and generally for New Deal candidates, and it certainly is not politically advantageous to my party when they vote that way. That still would not change my viewpoint that, if they, are American citizens and if under the Constitution they are entitled to the right of any other citizen to vote, which the Constitution clearly gives them, both the Senate and the House, as well as the executive branch of the Government and the local public officials and the national public officials, have the responsibility to see that they are not denied the right to vote and to exercise their constitutional rights, whether the citizens may be predominantly Democratic, predominantly Republican, or predominantly Independent. That point is not at issue here. The issue is whether they are entitled, under the qualifications of the State laws, and under the Constitution of the United States, to vote. If they are, they should be assured that every public official who raises his hand to support both the State and National Constitution has the responsibility to see that citizens get the right to vote when they want to exercise it. In this country, we do not have coerced voting, where citizens have to go to the polls. But if citizens want to do so, they should be allowed to do so, without any direct intimidation or without any of the more subtle, indirect intimidations or coercions which sometimes can be practiced, as the distinguished Senator knows. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator if he has had evidence presented to him which has convinced him that there is a need for this bill to be passed, in spite of all the laws the States have to protect the right to vote, and in spite of section 594 of the United States criminal code which protects the right to vote. Has the Senator ever had evidence presented to him that convinced him it is necessary to pass the bill, in spite of the laws of the States and the Federal statutes? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator if I did not feel that it was both necessary and desirable to pass the bill, I would not have supported it. I believe there have been sufficient facts presented to indicate that a bill of this type is both necessary and desirable. I have never taken the position on the floor, or publicly or privately, in which I have made a blanket indictment and stated that southern juries would not convict, because I have the highest respect for the people of the South, for their responsibilities of citizenship, for their loyalty to this country, and for the fact that they have served in uniform side by side with citizens from other sections of the country in fighting off our enemies in the various struggles in which this Nation has been engaged. I have never suggested that there should be a blanket indictment of a whole people under any circumstances. I do not now say that the facts outlined by the Senator from South Carolina, with respect to his own State, are not correct. Of course, I do not know his State as well as does the Senator from South Carolina, but if he tells me that there are no cases where a person is deprived of his right to vote, where a Negro citizen, if he possesses precisely the same qualifications that would be expected of a white citizen— Mr. THURMOND. None that I know about. Mr. KNOWLAND. That he has exactly the same rights to register, exactly the same rights to vote, I take the Senator’s word for it, because I have great respect for him. I will say, however, that in the facts presented by the Attorney General’s office before the committee, relative to another State in the broad general area of the South—I might say the same thing might apply in an area of the North or the West, for that matter, because what we are seeking to protect is the rights of American citizens in all 48 States of the Union—it was shown that large numbers of persons who had been registered were purged from the registration rolls. The predominant number, if not all of the purgees, were members of the Negro race, with very few, if any, members of the white race. Purely on the law of averages, to a reasonable man, one would not have to be a lawyer to know that it does not seem to be a matter of chance. Then when they sought to re-register, according to the facts presented, the local registrar indicated, though there were several thousand of them, he could not register more than 50 a day. That meant those persons had to stand in line for long periods of time, which would naturally be a discouraging thing in trying to get back on the registration rolls. There was used the apparently rather interesting and novel provision of verbal question. I doubt very much whether many, if any, Members of the Senate could have answered some of the questions which were asked. If a question was answered one way, that apparently was not the right answer. If the question was answered the other way, which any reasonable person might have done, that apparently was not the right answer. Perhaps the same position would have been taken by the local registrar if the citizen involved had been of any other race, but, again, to a reasonable person it seems that there was at least an effort made to discourage American citizens from exercising the right of franchise. I again reiterate that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that occurrence did not take place in the State of South Carolina. The Senator has made a very fine statement of the rights the citizens of his State enjoy. I think all Americans will rejoice in that fact. I want to say there is nothing in the proposal before the Senate which will in the least change the power of the States to prescribe the qualifications of their voters. They have that right under our Federal system. I think, however, the States have the obligation not merely to give lip service to, but to follow both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and that whenever such qualifications are prescribed, whatever they may be, they should be applied impartially and equitably to every American citizen, regardless of his race, color, creed, or previous condition of servitude. Those are the words of the Constitution. Those are the words that every citizen occupying a position as a registrar, a county clerk, or a local voting commissioner has a full obligation to comply with. Such persons should not apply one rule to one group of citizens and a different rule to a different group of citizens. If they will apply the laws with equity and with impartiality, then they have nothing to fear in the slightest in the way of either civil or criminal contempt under this bill, at least in my judgment. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator from California one more question, and with that I will desist. Although the Senator is not a lawyer, he is one of the best read men in the United States. I imagine he is an expert on the Constitution, also, because he is a very deep student. I wonder how the Senator could agree to this compromise, which would deprive people in criminal contempt cases of the right to a trial by jury, when the Constitution is so clear on that point? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator that I will leave the matter to the lawyers, to debate later the specific point which the Senator mentions. I, at least, have heard of no section of the country where there is a provision for a trial by jury in an equity proceeding where there is a contempt of the court. Mr. THURMOND. I am speaking of criminal contempt. Mr. KNOWLAND. I know, but I am speaking also of a contempt of the court in carrying out its order in an equity proceeding. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to that I will say to the Senator I agree that in civil contempt cases under the present law the court has the right to use its power to bring about compliance with an order, in civil contempt cases. However, I am speaking of criminal contempt cases, which are provided for in the compromise bill. The bill provides for criminal contempt actions. Criminal contempt is a crime. I have here a decision which sustains that point. Since criminal contempt is a crime, there is a right to a trial by jury. The Constitution of the United States in article III., section 2, says this: {{smaller block|The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases or Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; * * *.}} The sixth amendment reads: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions—}} That is what we are referring to. We refer to a criminal prosecution for criminal contempt. It is a prosecution by the judge, who is the prosecutor, the legislature, the judge, and the jury. The court has held that criminal contempt is a crime, and the Constitution makes reference to all criminal prosecutions. We refer here to a criminal prosecution. The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * *.}} And so forth. In the seventh amendment to the Constitution there is also a reference to a jury trial. The amendment I have read is exactly to the point. If the Senator had provided in the compromise bill that the judge could impose a sentence of imprisonment for 1 day—not 45 days, but even 1 day—or a fine of even $1 in a criminal-contempt case, he would be giving the judge the power to try a man without a jury in violation of the Constitution, even though the punishment would be negligible. What I am opposed to is the fact that the compromise bill, the way it is written and the way it has come to the Senate, violates the Constitution of the United States. I am vitally concerned about that. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator will yield further, then I shall not interrupt him any more. All I can say to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is that the highest law officers of the Government of the United States are the Attorney General of the United States and representatives of the Department of Justice. They, too, have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The most able lawyers in the Department of Justice have looked over the proposed legislation, as well. In their judgment, it is constitutional and it does not violate the Constitution of the United States. The Senator is entitled, of course, to make the assertion that in his judgment the provision is not constitutional. Such arguments come up even before the Supreme Court of the United States, as the distinguished Senator knows, from time to time, as well as before other courts. Sometimes the judges can agree by a unanimous vote as to what they think is constitutional or what they think is unconstitutional. However, over the long period of our history there have been many notable cases relative to the constitutionality of some act of Congress or the constitutional rights of some individual as to which the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest judicial tribunal of the land, has divided on a 5-to-4 decision. The Senator’s assertion that the provision is not constitutional—I am sure the Senator would be the first to admit—does not make it unconstitutional. I quite admit that the assertion of any qualified lawyer on this side, who might make the assertion the provision was constitutional, would not, by that assertion, make it so. Nor would the opinion of the Attorney General make it so. At least I do not want the record to show that merely by having the Senator make the assertion that in his judgment it is not constitutional, necessarily, ''ipso facto'', that assertion makes a fact. Mr. THURMOND. Of course, we remember also that the Attorney General in the original bill wanted to transfer these matters to the equity side of the court to deprive citizens of the right of jury trial. We have to keep that in mind. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the distinguished Senator will yield further, I wish to thank him for his courtesy in yielding. I hope he has enjoyed our discussion as much as I have. I hope perhaps it has been a brief respite to him, under all the circumstances. I would stay to listen to the Senator, but I have a breakfast engagement with the President at the White House. I know under those circumstances the distinguished Senator will excuse me. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to yield to the distinguished Senator, for whom I have such high admiration. Mr. President, I continue to read my statement: {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTIES}}}} {{smaller block|Before taking up specific provisions of several of the bills pending before the committee, I should like to read for you two of the basic provisions in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|The ninth amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”}} {{smaller block|The 10th amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”}} {{smaller block|Those last two amendments of the Bill of Rights make clear the intent of the Founding Fathers. Their intent was that all rights not specifically listed, and all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government, would be held inalienable by the States, and the people.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS UNALTERED}}}} {{smaller block|This basic concept of the Bill of Rights has never been constitutionally amended, no matter what the Federal courts have done, no matter what the executive branch of the Federal Government has done, and no matter what the Congress might have done or attempted to do in the past.

Having made these general comments, I would like to comment specifically on some of the pending proposals. First, on the proposal for the establishment of a Commission on Civil Rights.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|COMMISSION UNNEEDED}}}} {{smaller block|There is absolutely no reason for the establishment of such a commission. The Congress and its committees can perform all of the investigative functions which would come within the sphere of constitutional authority.}} {{smaller block|I do not believe the members of any commission, however established, could represent the views of the people of this country as well as the Members of Congress can. I hope that the members of this committee and the Members of the Congress will not permit themselves to be persuaded that anyone else can look after the problems of the people any better, or as well, as the Congress can.}} {{smaller block|Furthermore, there is no justification for an investigation in this field.}} {{smaller block|I hope this committee will recommend against the establishment of such a commission.}} {{smaller block|Another bill would provide for an additional Assistant Attorney General to head a department given by the Attorney General last year.

It would provide that—}} {{smaller block|“Whenever any persons have engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action * * * the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States but for the benefit of the real party in interest, a civil action or other proper proceeding or redress or preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order.”}} {{smaller block|Now that proposal is one which I would label as even more insidious than any ''ex post facto'' law which could possibly be imagined.}} {{smaller block|An ''ex post facto'' law would at least apply to some real act committed by a person which was not in violation of law at the time.

In many instances, I believe, this has been done without a constitutional basis.}} {{smaller block|The States have lost prestige. But more important, the States have lost a part of their sovereignty whenever the Federal Government has taken over additional responsibilities. That loss might seem unimportant at the time, but gradually it could become a major part of the sovereignty of the States.}} {{smaller block|Officials of the Federal Government, whether in the executive, legislative, or the judicial branch, should not forget to whom they owe their allegiance. Each of us owes his allegiance to the Constitution and to the people—not to any agency, department, or person.

The Federal Government had no power, and should have no power, which was not granted by the States in the constitution.}} {{smaller block|If this Congress approves the legislation embodied in the bills pending before the committee, it will be an unwarranted attempt to seize power not rightfully held by the Congress or by any branch of the Federal Government.}} {{smaller block|I hope this committee will consider these facts and recommend the disapproval of these bills.}} Mr. President, that was the statement I made before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on February 26. Mr. President, on August 6 I made my third address on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced my vigorous objections to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127, as amended by the Senate, which was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of this bill. I shall now repeat my several objections to this milder form of the bill as I stated them on August 6. These were my words at that time: {{smaller block|Mr. President, I am opposed to the creation of a Commission on Civil Rights as proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127.}} {{smaller block|To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a Commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, such an investigation should be conducted by the States or by an appropriate committee of the Congress, acting within the jurisdiction of Congressional authority. It should not be done by a commission.}} {{smaller block|I also object to part I. of H. R. 6127 because of the fact that it places duties upon the Commission and endows it with powers which no governmental commission should have.}} {{smaller block|In fact, Mr. President, the language of the bill proposing to establish this Commission is so broad and so general that it may encompass more evils than have yet been detected in it.}} {{smaller block|Under its duties and powers the Commission would be able to subpena citizens to appear before it to answer questions on many subjects outside the scope of elections and voting rights.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(1) Investigate allegations in writing under oath or affirmation that certain citizens of the United States are being deprived of their right to vote and have that vote counted by reason of their color, race, religion, or national origin; which writing, under oath or affirmation, shall set forth the facts upon which such belief or beliefs are based.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, the bill, in part IV., contains an additional protection of the voting right of citizens above and beyond present State and Federal laws. Provision is made for enforcement of part IV., and there were already sufficient enforcement provisions to carry out the intent of the existing State and Federal laws. I do not see how a commission could enhance officers nor the powers of law enforcement officers nor the enforcement and punitive authority of the courts.}} {{smaller block|I can see no valid reason why a commission should be created, in addition to the legal enforcement procedures, unless the purpose is for the Commission to stir up litigation among our people.}} {{smaller block|This bill has been advertised, promoted, and ballyhooed as a right-to-vote bill. However, I want to cite two paragraphs which give broad authority for investigations other than alleged violations of a person’s right to vote.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|“(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|Instead of limiting the power of the Commission, these two paragraphs provide it with ''carte blanche'' authority to probe into and meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals which the Commission and members of its staff could conjure up.}} {{smaller block|I want to call particular attention to a divergence in language between paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 refers to a study of “legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection.” Paragraph 3 says “appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection.”}} {{smaller block|The significant thing here is the omission of the specific intent of paragraph 2. Although the language of paragraph 2 is obscure and omits a governmental reference, it obviously must refer to State and local governments, else it would be redundant and have no meaning at all.}} {{smaller block|Also, as I pointed out, investigations conducted under paragraphs 2 and 3 could go far afield from the question of voting rights. The Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools, and elsewhere, under the authorization of these two paragraphs. Combining its authority to investigate on an unlimited scale and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions, the Commission would have a powerful weapon.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I do not believe the people of this country realize the virtually unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. While the Commission would have no power to implement its desires, I do not believe the people of this country want such a totalitarian type of persuasion imposed upon them.}} {{smaller block|Part I. of H. R. 6127 purports to create a Civil Rights Commission. Actually, it would create a traveling investigation commission.}} {{smaller block|Section 103(b) of part I. also would place tremendous power within the grasp of the Attorney General with reference to members of the Commission “otherwise in the service of the Government.” The clear implication is that whoever drafted this scheme to send traveling agents over the country intended to make use of certain members of the executive branch of the Federal Government. I don’t believe it would be necessary to look further than the Justice Department to determine where Commission members already in Government service would be secured. By placing his employees on the Commission, the Attorney General would transform the traveling agents into an additional investigative arm of the Justice Department.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I next call attention to the potential abuse found in section 102(g) under the innocuous title, “Rules of Procedure of the Commission.” That section provides that “no evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be released or used in public sessions without the consent of the Commission. Whoever releases or uses in public without the consent of the Commission evidence or testimony taken in executive session shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than 1 year.”}} {{smaller block|In an editorial of July 26, 1957, the Washington Post very correctly pointed out how this section could be used to imprison reporters and other citizens for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them.}} {{smaller block|This editorial provides a penetrating and enlightening criticism of this section. Because of its pertinency and fine analysis, I shall read the last three paragraphs of the editorial which is entitled “Open Rights Hearings,” which states:}} {{smaller block|“The bill contains an invitation to the Commission to operate behind closed doors. It provides that ‘if the Commission determines that evidence or testimony at any hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, it shall * * * receive such evidence or testimony in executive session * * *.’ Some closed sessions may be necessary to avoid unfair reflections upon individuals, but these should certainly be an exception to the general rule. In our opinion, this section ought to be rewritten in more positive vein to provide that sessions of the Commission should be open to the public, unless it should find that closed hearings were essential to avoid unfairness.}} {{smaller block|“The House also wrote into the bill a dangerous section providing for the fining or imprisonment for not more than 1 year of anyone who might ‘release or use in public,’ without the consent of the Commission, any testimony taken behind closed doors. If the Commission should choose to operate under cover, without any valid reason to do so, newspaper reporters and other citizens could be jailed for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This is a penalty that has been shunned even in matters affecting national security. Such a provision is an invitation to abuse and a serious menace to the right of the people to know about the activities of governmental agencies.}} {{smaller block|“It is well to remember that this would not be merely a study commission. In addition it would be under obligation to investigate allegations that persons were being deprived of their rights under the 14th and 15th amendments. It could subpena witnesses and documents and appeal to the courts for enforcement of such edicts. Its powers would be such that it should be held to scrupulous rules of fairness. To encourage the Commission to operate in secret, and then to penalize news mediums and citizens for disclosing what should have been public in the first place, would be the sort of mistake that Congress ought to avoid at the outset.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I think the points made in the editorial are clear and valid. Secrecy in the activities of such a Commission could only lead to a denial of the rights of an individual rather than to protection of his rights.}} {{smaller block|Another subject which must not be passed over is the subpena power of the Commission. Section 105(f) provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding Commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed.}} {{smaller block|Neither would the power contained in section 105(g) which provides that Federal courts shall have the power, upon application by the Attorney General, to issue “an order requiring” a witness to answer a subpena of the Commission and “any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.”}} {{smaller block|The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority of the traditional American factfinding commission. I look with suspicion upon such a Commission so endowed with authority, and I object to its establishment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to discuss another reason, briefly, why I would be opposed to the establishment of the Commission proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. Every appropriation bill which has come before the Senate this year has been reduced by the Senate below the budget request. The people of this country have called upon the Members of Congress to reduce the costs of government, not to increase them by creating new agencies or commissions.}} {{smaller block|The advocates of the Commission might argue that the cost of its operation would not be great, but nowhere in the records of the hearings have I found an estimate of what the total cost would be. If the Commission were to exist only for the 2 years provided in the bill, the compensation and ''per diem'' allowance of Commission members would amount to more than a quarter of a million dollars, not counting their travel allowances.}} {{smaller block|Since there is no limitation on the number of personnel which might be appointed by the Commission, there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of personnel salaries and expenses. Since the Commission is designed to travel over the country at will, very heavy travel expenses undoubtedly would be incurred.}} {{smaller block|The taxpayers would never know how many of their tax dollars were wasted by virtue of the seemingly innocuous language in section 105(e). Unknown, concealed costs are not, however, the only dangers lurking in that subsection. A serious departure from sound legislative procedure is also involved.}} {{smaller block|In the past, when creating an agency or commission, Congress retained control of its creation by the appropriation power. This is a wonderful check, Mr. President, against the abuse or misuse of Commission authority. Scrupulous care should be taken to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|However, section 105(e) provides that “all Federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the Civil Rights Commission could call on the other governmental agencies to perform many of its tasks. Congressional control over the Commission would be much less than if the Commission had to depend on its own appropriations and would not be permitted to use the resources of other agencies. Once the commission is created, only another law can check its activity during the period of its existence.}} {{smaller block|Another thing that concerns me about this Commission is the fact that once a Government agency or commission is established, nothing else on earth so nearly approaches eternal existence as that Government agency or commission. Mr. President, I feel that the 2-year limitation placed upon the Commission in this bill would simply be a starting point, and the people of this country should realize that at this time.}} {{smaller block|With further reference to section 104(a), I want to point out the use of the mandatory word shall. This word requires the Commission to investigate all sworn allegations submitted to the Commission of any citizen allegedly being deprived of his right to vote.}} {{smaller block|But the provision neglects to require that such allegations be submitted by parties in interest—not simply by some meddler who seeks to create trouble between other persons. This is another provision of this bill similar to section 131(c) which would permit the Attorney General to make the United States a party to a case without the consent of the party actually involved.}} {{smaller block|Another objection to 104(a) is that under this provision a person could make an allegation to the Commission against a person who was not even a citizen of the same State. Even so, under the mandatory language of section 104(a), the Commission would be required to make an investigation of the charges.}} {{smaller block|Since the Commission is limited by section 102(k) to subpenaing witnesses to hearings only within the State of residence of the witness, there would be no opportunity in such a situation for the accused to confront his accuser. Charges against a person should not be accepted by the Commission unless the accuser is a citizen of the same State as the person he is charging with a violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|Also, Mr. President, once the Commission has received the sworn allegation, there is no requirement that other testimony received relating to the allegation be taken under oath. Failure to make all persons giving testimony subject to perjury prosecutions in the event they testify to falsehoods would surely destroy the value of any such testimony received.}} {{smaller block|The Commission could and might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony; but I should not like to see the Senate leave that point to the discretion of the Commission because, in my judgment, the Congress should require that practice to be followed.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, as I stated earlier, it is my view that an inquiry into the field of civil rights, or so-called civil rights, is entirely unnecessary at this time. The laws of the States and the Federal laws are being enforced effectively.}} {{smaller block|Should there come a time when information might be needed on this subject, the Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with deliberation and care. The appropriate committees of the Congress itself should hold hearings limited to the jurisdiction of the Congress, and the Congress should make its own determination as to the need for legislation.}} {{smaller block|There is no present indication that any such study will be needed.}} {{smaller block|Part II. of the bill still provides for the appointment of one additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. As I have stated in previous addresses, there is absolutely no need for an additional Attorney General to be appointed at a cost to the taxpayers of $20,000 per year.}} {{smaller block|Of course, that would merely be a small part of the total cost because a large staff of lawyers would also be employed.}} {{smaller block|The other provisions of the bill do not necessitate the establishment of a civil-rights division in the Justice Department, because there is no indication there would be any substantial increase in such cases with which the Department should be concerned.}} {{smaller block|As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have admitted time and again here in the Senate that there has been a steady decrease in the number of civil-rights cases throughout the country.}} {{smaller block|Since there has been a decrease in civil-rights cases, and since there is no indication that any increase should be expected, I can see absolutely no reason for the expansion of the present civil-rights section of the Justice Department into a Civil Rights Division with an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the fact that sufficient justification has not been presented for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, I hope the Senate will not approve such additional expenditures as would be required for this purpose. In my opinion, the Attorney General has failed entirely to show a need for an additional assistant.}} {{smaller block|Part III. of the bill as amended has been thoroughly discussed and I shall not dwell on that at this time.}} {{smaller block|Part IV., which is the section dealing with what the advocates of the bill have said was the entire purpose of the bill, still has provisions which are objectionable to me. Section 131(c) still contains language which, to me, borders on an effort at thought control instead of providing an unneeded additional guaranty of the right to vote. Also, it gives the Attorney General undue authority. The section reads as follows:}} {{smaller block|“(c) Whenever any person has engaged, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage, in any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege secured by subsection (a) or (b), the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, a civil action or other proper proceeding for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order. In any proceeding hereunder the United States shall be liable for costs the same as a private person.”}} {{smaller block|As long ago as February 26, when I appeared before the special Judiciary Subcommittee of the House of Representatives to testify against pending civil-rights bills, I expressed my opposition to the language contained in the section I. have just quoted. I do not believe it possible for the Attorney General, for any of his representatives, or for anybody else to determine what is in another person’s mind and whether he is about to engage in some violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|If the Attorney General should attempt to ascertain what is going on in the minds of other persons, he will need soothsayers and prophets instead of an additional Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|I object to this language because I do not believe it possible for any witness to testify truthfully that he knows another person was about to violate the law, unless some overt action had been taken by the accused person.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, an attempt to apply this provision against American citizens would be completely out of keeping with the guaranties of personal freedom contained in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|I object also to the authority granted the Attorney General in section (c) to “institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States,” a civil action or other court proceeding on behalf of a person without the consent of that person. Individuals have adequate legal remedies which they themselves may institute on their own behalf. It is not necessary to give the Attorney General this extreme power of absolute discretion to be exercised as he desires on behalf of some individual who may not wish to take court action or to have anybody else take such action on his behalf.}} {{smaller block|If one of the duties of the proposed additional Assistant Attorney General would be to seek out persons and insist upon entering the courts on their behalf, this provision, combined with part II., provides another objection to the appointment of an Assistant Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|The American system has never condoned the idea that a third party should stir up trouble between two other persons. Instead, the American system abhors troublemakers, especially when troublemaking takes the form of barratry. This form of troublemaking has been looked down upon much in the same way other lawyers look down upon their colleagues who chase ambulances.}} {{smaller block|The United States Government should not be placed in this position of disrepute and certainly it should not be called upon to bear the expenses of such court proceedings.}} {{smaller block|Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which provides that—}} {{smaller block|“(b) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.”}} {{smaller block|No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States, should not be exhausted prior to Federal district courts taking jurisdiction in election-law violations.}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 have spoken out strongly on behalf of the Federal courts during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts.}} {{smaller block|There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them.}} {{smaller block|The laws of all the 48 States contain provisions protecting the right to vote. No additional protection is needed beyond existing State and Federal laws.}} {{smaller block|In my own State of South Carolina, the constitution of 1895 required the general assembly to provide by law for the punishment of crimes against the election laws. That has been done. The State constitution further required a provision to permit a person to appeal to the State supreme court if he should be denied registration. The election law spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court, and requires that the court hold a special session if one is not scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|South Carolina’s constitution also provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of this constitutional provision, the South Carolina General Assembly has enacted laws for the punishment of anyone who threatens, mistreats, or abuses any voter in an effort to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. These laws apply to all elections. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the existing laws of the States and the existing Federal laws, I now contend, as I have contended since the so-called civil-rights bills were introduced, that any qualified voter in the United States is fully protected in his right of suffrage.}} {{smaller block|This bill, H. R. 6127, is unnecessary. It is an encroachment upon the rights of the States, and it infringes upon the rights of individuals when the Attorney General is empowered to take action on the behalf of any person without his consent.}} {{smaller block|I believe this bill should be rejected, because of the various unnecessary and unconstitutional provisions which I have discussed.}} {{smaller block|Part V. of the bill, which was added to insure and provide for trial by jury in proceedings to punish criminal contempts, is an amendment which I approved and voted for, but I do not consider it as strong as desirable. In my opinion, the bill which the senior Senators from Mississippi and Virginia and I introduced in the Senate last March should be approved, to provide best for the right of trial by jury for every American citizen.}} {{smaller block|However, the addition of part V. to the bill makes it much less objectionable than the bill would have been without the assurance of trial by jury in criminal-contempt proceedings contained in part V.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to reiterate my previous assertions that this bill is unnecessary, and in some respects unconstitutional.}} {{smaller block|H. R. 6127 in its original form carried the label of being a right-to-vote bill; but when we unwrapped the package here in the Senate and examined it carefully, as we have, we found the label was entirely misleading.}} {{smaller block|The so-called civil-rights bill should have been entitled “A bill to empower the Attorney General to deprive certain citizens of their right to trial by jury.” Also, it should have been labeled as an implement intended to be used to force integration of the races in the public schools.}} {{smaller block|Happily, we examined the contents of the package, stripped off the old label, and advertised the deception so that every citizen could recognize the dangers wrapped in the package.}} {{smaller block|The amendments which have been enacted have reduced the power which was intended to be placed in the hands of the Attorney General. They have removed the authority for the use of military forces in cases of alleged civil-rights violations. They have made the proposed Commission answerable to Congress as well as to the President, and have provided for the members to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. They have better defined and narrowed the powers of Federal judges in contempt proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R. 6127. However, nothing could entirely remove the objectionable features of this packaged bill of goods, submitted to the American people under a deceptive label.}} {{smaller block|I shall vote against passage of H. R. 6127, because I believe that in so doing I shall be casting a vote for the preservation of our liberties, and for the preservation of constitutional government in this country.}} Mr. President, that was the statement which I made on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced vigorous objection to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127 as amended by the Senate. Of course, the Senate bill was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of the bill. Mr. President, I now wish to discuss part IV. of H. R. 6127 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution. {{smaller block|PART IV.—TO PROVIDE MEANS OF FURTHER SECURING AND PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE}} Part IV. of the proposed civil-rights bill confers on the Attorney General the right to bring civil action and seek an injunction in a Federal district in the name of the United States if he believes any person is violating or about to violate either of two laws presently existing for the protection of voters. Let us examine the two laws the Attorney General seeks to enforce by civil suit or injunction. The first of these laws, presently appearing as section 2004 of the Revised Statutes of 1874—title 42, United States Code, section 1971—is actually section 1 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870—Sixteenth United States Statutes at Large, page 140. This bill, S. 810 and H. R. 1293, passed the respective Houses of Congress without debate on its merits under the rule on motion. This bill as it passed Congress contained in its second section a definite provision that civil damages to the aggrieved might be recovered through civil suit in the Federal courts. Furthermore, it provided for the obtaining of political office by civil suit through ''quo'' warrant proceedings in Federal courts. On May 20, 1870, an attempt was made in the Senate to allow third parties to sue in behalf of the aggrieved party. This is the same proposal contained in the present bill whereby the Attorney General would be allowed to bring civil action and seek injunctions. Even this radical 41st Congress would not accept any such proposition providing double penalties. The proposition in the present bill would provide double penalties because present law contained in both title 18, Section 242—Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law—and title 42, Section 1971—Race, Color, or Previous Condition Not To Affect Right to Vote—afford appropriate criminal and civil remedy. To show how the Senate in 1870 rejected such an idea of double penalties, let us examine the colloquy in the Senate on the proposal to allow someone other than the aggrieved to bring civil suit—Congressional Globe, volume 93, 41st Congress, 2d session, 1870, pages 3563–3564: {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I understand I am in order in offering to amend the amendment.}} {{smaller block|The {{sc|Presiding Officer}}. The amendment to the amendment is in order.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I will repeat it, then, for the information of the Senate. I move to amend the Senate bill in section 2, line 15, by striking out the words “the person aggrieved thereby” and inserting “any person who shall sue for the same.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. I hope that this amendment will not be agreed to. There are now two views taken of this branch of the bill as it stands. One is that there ought not to be any provision at all for the party aggrieved; that it ought all to be out; and another view is that taken by my friend from Alabama, that it does not go far enough; that we ought not to confine this redress to the person whose vote is refused. The committee considered both those views, and thought, in analogy to State legislation and to the simple proprieties of justice, that this middle ground was the true one.}} {{smaller block|If a voter is deprived of his right to vote by the misconduct of an official, it is a personal grievance to him, an actionable injury, for which all civilized laws give him redress in some form. It is true that in most States and countries no specific amount of damages is allowed, for the reason that it is thought safer, inasmuch as that might be a matter of speculation, to leave it under the circumstances of each case to be great or small, as a jury shall think it wise to make it. But in applying the 15th amendment, which is intended to secure the rights of a large class of the population of the United States, and to secure their rights in courts which may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, by juries who may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, in communities where the local officers are found to be those who deny the rights that the 15th amendment secures, we thought it wise not to leave it to an unfriendly jury to give only 1 penny damages, if a man under the 15th amendment was deprived of a right he had, but to fix the sum the party should be entitled to recover as his damages; and on the other hand, in a community where juries might be very favorable to the party aggrieved, we thought it right to impose upon juries a limit above which they ought not to go; so that they should not either give no damages at all nor excessive damages.}} {{smaller block|This branch of the section, therefore, is framed upon that theory. It is to give to the person aggrieved, as damages for the deprivation of his rights as a citizen, a private right of his own, a right to sue, which all laws give; it would not be necessary to put that into the statute—he would have the right of action; but to fix the amount for each specific wrong to him {{SIC|whch|which}} he should be entitled to recover. Then we provide in another part of the bill, and perhaps in the same section, just as we ought to do if we are to have any law at all, that the officer guilty of this wrong to the citizen is also guilty of an offense against the public, a criminal misdemeanor, for which he may be indicted and fined, of course within certain limits, in the discretion of the court. I submit to my friend from Alabama whether, on the whole, this middle ground, which is defensible both by philosophy and by analogy, is not the true one.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I desire to make this bill as effective for the purpose intended as possible. The persons who will be aggrieved, particularly in our section of the country, will in the main be ignorant and timid persons, who will be afraid to sue. The fact that they may be afraid to go to the polls and vote is evidence that they will not perhaps have the courage and fearlessness to sue; but there may be some third party who would be willing to enforce the penalty. I think in the great majority of cases the person aggrieved would not avail himself of this provision.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Then, I suggest to my friend that he would not be entitled to any action at all under this section, because this is not a section to give every man $500 who is afraid to offer to do what he has a right to do; but it is to give him as damages the sum of $500 for a positive and specific denial to him of the exercise of a right that he attempts to exercise; otherwise, he would have no cause of action. You cannot give a right of action to anybody because he is intimidated. The intimidation part of the law must be purely criminal, and is found in another part of the bill.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. But my amendment would give a remedy by enabling any other person than the party aggrieved to enforce the penalty. The party aggrieved I think in most cases would fail to enforce it; but some other party might.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Some other party may in his name.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I desire to say a word in regard to the particular amendment now pending. This bill is for the purpose of enforcing the 15th amendment, which applies to colored voters, most of whom reside in the section of the country from which the Senator from Alabama and myself come. The great and most effectual means used to interfere with their exercise of the right secured to them by the 15th amendment is by intimidation, by violence. I think that the penalty which is named in this second section, to be enforced by the party aggrieved, would never be put into operation at all. The purpose of the bill is to protect those citizens against intimidation from voting.}} {{smaller block|I confess that there is something in the suggestion of the Senator from Vermont, that there is no intimidation in this particular section aimed at. But, sir, it is perfectly sure that the very same means of intimidation which prevents a colored citizen from voting will be resorted to to prevent him from bringing this penal action, and unless the section is amended as suggested by the Senator from Alabama, I do not believe that an action will ever be brought in those States, because it is much more difficult for one of those citizens to bring and maintain a criminal action than it is for him to perform the single act of voting.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Will my friend permit me to make a suggestion right there?}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. Certainly.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. If you take out this penalty, as it is called, really liquidated damages, from the person who is aggrieved, whose right is denied, and who has suffered injury, and give it to anybody who will sue for it, it becomes a pure penalty. Then the question is, whether you can have a bill which contains double penalties; whether you are to punish, in the strict sense of punishment, a man twice for the same offense; because my friend will see that the section, in addition to giving these damages to the party aggrieved as damages, makes it a criminal misdemeanor, punishable on indictment and conviction by a fine of not less than $500 and imprisonment not less than a month nor more than a year. I suggest to my friend, who is a cultivated and educated lawyer, whether he would not in court find himself in great difficulty with a bill of double penalties, which were purely such.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I have never examined that question under the laws of the United States. I only know that is frequently done in my own State. We have statutes with double penalties, as referred to by the Senator, and we have never had any difficulty in that State with regard to them.}} {{smaller block|But I understood the committee to mean by this section that there was danger in the States where it is principally to apply of not being able to obtain a grand jury who will find a bill of indictment, and that in the event no bill of indictment could be found before a grand jury the party aggrieved, or, if amended as the Senator from Alabama suggests, any person in the community may still punish the offender by bringing a penal action. It seems I had mistaken the purpose of the committee entirely from what is said by the Senator from Vermont. I think, nevertheless, the amendment had better be made, unless there really be that legal objection which the Senator suggests as to double penalties, so that it could not, under the laws of the United States and the practice of the United States courts, be enforced. If that were so, it would be conclusive that the amendment ought not to be adopted. I did not understand the Senator as expressing the positive opinion that such could not be done.}} Now, Mr. President, I shall discuss injunctions issuing from Federal district judges on the question of a person’s qualification for voting. The civil-rights bill in part IV. confers on the district courts of the United States jurisdiction to issue injunctions in civil-rights actions and it is to be assumed that these injunctions will concern, among other supposed rights, the right to vote. Actually appropriate remedy already exists where a person’s civil rights are violated. Section 242 of title 18, United States Code, provides a penalty and damages may be recovered in a civil action. The West Virginia Jehovah’s Witnesses case is a typical example of adequate remedy existing in such cases. In this case, the United States attorney was unable to get an indictment by the grand jury. He therefore proceeded to prosecute by information, as provided by rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and subsequently got a conviction. The information charged that two public officers, acting under color of law, had willfully deprived their victims of the Federal rights of free speech, freedom of religion, the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, and the right to equal protection of the laws. The conviction was upheld by the United States court of appeals—''Catlette'' v. ''U. S.'' ((1943) 132 F. 2d 902). Civil suits were brought by the Witnesses against their prosecutors—those who had deprived them of their rights—and a settlement was made totaling $1,170 in damages which was paid. How can the Congress vest jurisdiction in Federal courts to determine the qualifications of voters and allow Federal judges to issue injunctions in effect requiring that certain persons—the judge thinks are qualified—shall be registered and allowed to vote? The qualifications of voters are fixed and enumerated in the constitution of each sovereign State. For purposes of determining who is entitled to vote in each State for United States Representatives and Senators, the Federal Constitution simply adopts such qualifications as the State has fixed for voting for members of that State’s legislature. The language of article I., section 2, clause 3 of the United States Constitution reads: {{smaller block|The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.}} Similarly, the 17th amendment adopts for the purpose of electing United States Senators such qualifications as the States have fixed: {{smaller block|The Senate of the United States shall be composed of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for 6 years; and each Senator shall have 1 vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.}} In the fixing of qualifications of voters the States are limited only by the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment in that the right to vote may not be denied because of race or color or sex, respectively. That the respective States determine who are entitled to vote has never been seriously controverted. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the right to vote comes from the State. In declaring sections 3 and 4 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870, unconstitutional, the Supreme Court in 1875 said—''U. S.'' v. ''Reese'' ((1875) 92 U. S. 214, 217, 218); also ''Butts'' v. ''Merchants and Miners Transportation Co.'' ((1913) 230 U. S. 126): {{smaller block|The 15th amendment does not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference, in this particular, to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race, etc., as it was on account of age, one race having certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to this amendment, there was no constitutional guaranty against this discrimination; now there is. It follows that the amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right which is within the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This, under the express provisions of the second section of the amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation.}} This leads us to inquire whether the act now under consideration is appropriate legislation for that purpose. The power of Congress to legislate at all upon the subject of voting at State elections rests upon this amendment. The effect of article I., section 4, of the Constitution, in respect to elections for Senators and Representatives, is not now under consideration. It has not been contended, nor can it be, that the amendment confers authority to impose penalties for every wrongful refusal to receive the vote of a qualified elector at State elections. It is only when the wrongful refusal at such an election is because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, that Congress can interfere, and provide for its punishment: If, therefore, the third and fourth sections of the act are beyond that limit, they are unauthorized.}} Thus, if the 15th amendment has not conferred the right to vote upon anyone, how can Congress give a Federal judge authority to confer that right by injunction? The Attorney General knows that it is a settled principle of law that an injunction will not issue to prevent a crime. At the present time the laws governing enforcement of civil rights are criminal statutes and as such he seeks to have them reenacted as civil statutes so he can secure injunctions. An injunction is really a serious proposition. Actually an injunction is a proceeding in equity and not of law and under this principle since all of the States have adequate procedure for determining the qualifications of voters in courts of law, injunctions cannot issue in such cases. An injunction is actually the giving of validity to a judge’s own individual opinion. The injunction had its origin during the reign of Henry VIII., when Cardinal Wolsey augmented the authority of the Court of Chancery in exercising his equitable authority over everything that could be a matter of judicial inquiry. Both Wolsey and his successor, Sir Thomas More, were severely criticized by the English judiciary for issuing injunctions in equity and thereby substituting their individual opinions for the verdict of a jury in a common law court—the Law magazine, London, volume XXVII., 1870, pages 1–25. Such great importance is attached to the issuance of an injunction that Lord Correnham in his judgment in ''Brown'' v. ''Newall'' ((1870), 2 M. and C. 558, 570), said: {{smaller block|Now, that that ''ex parte'' injunction was an order which ought not to have been made, is not in dispute. It has been subsequently dissolved, and nothing is attempted (570) to be said in support of it at the bar; and it is impossible that it could have been sustained. The order was a departure from the known and established rule and practice of this court. Nothing is so difficult as to bring within any general rule every case in which a special injunction ought to be granted; but, when an action has regularly proceeded, and is on the very eve of trial, an ''ex parte'' injunction to stop it is an order such as I have not before seen. The vice chancellor appears to have stated that the order was made under some misapprehension of the facts; and indeed it is quite obvious that it must have been so, for the vice chancellor could not have made the order if the facts had been thoroughly understood. It is very probable that some facts were then supposed to exist which did not actually exist.}} {{smaller block|I am not entitled, however, to assume that the order was made upon any other grounds than those stated in the affidavit which was used upon the application for the injunction; and I am, therefore, to see whether, on that affidavit, the parties have suppressed or misrepresented facts in such a way as was calculated to induce the court to grant the injunction.}} {{smaller block|I am most unwilling to lay down any rule which should limit the power and discretion of the court as to the particular cases in which a special injunction should or should not be granted; but I have always felt—and since I have been upon the bench I have seen no reason to alter my opinion—that extreme danger attends the exercise of this part of the jurisdiction of the court, and that it is a jurisdiction which is to be exercised with extreme caution. It is absolutely necessary that the power should exist, because there are cases in which it is indispensable; but I believe that practically it does as much injustice as it promotes (571) justice; and it is, therefore, to be exercised with extreme caution. The court can have no ground upon which it can proceed, in granting an ''ex parte'' injunction, but a faithful statement of the case; and where the court has found a party misstating the case, either by misrepresentation or suppression, the court has always exercised its jurisdiction, for the purpose of repressing that practice; and I am desirous to abstain from putting, by anticipation, a limit to that power. The extent to which the court is to go in so doing is only to be determined by the case itself; but then it must appear, upon the affidavits, that there was such misrepresentation. Now the affidavit upon which the ''ex parte'' injunction was obtained certainly does not state all the facts; but the question is, whether there was any such suppression or misstatement as to lead the court to grant the injunction. I do not find on that affidavit that description of misrepresentation or suppression which, in my opinion, presented a case likely to procure a judgment on the application, but different from the case which really existed.}} Thus we can easily see, even if we had the power, that it would be a dangerous experiment to allow Federal district judges to issue injunctions on simple ''ex parte'' affidavits as is proposed in the present bill. And it might be possible under this proposal to assign New York or Vermont Federal judges to a crowded injunction calendar in Virginia to determine who is qualified to vote in that State. Section 134 of title 26, United States Code, simply requires that a district judge reside in the district or one of the districts for which he is appointed and does not preclude his assignment to another district. In fact, Chief Justice Warren under section 292 of the Judicial Code—title 28, United States Code—may assign California judges to South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 292. District judges:}} {{smaller block|(a) The chief judge of a circuit may designate and assign one or more district judges within the circuit to sit upon the court of appeals or a division thereof whenever the business of that court so requires. Such designations or assignments shall be in conformity with the rules or orders of the court of appeals of the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(b) The chief judge of a district may, in the public interest, designate and assign temporarily any district judge of the circuit to hold a district court in any district within the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(c) The Chief Justice of the United States may designate and assign temporarily a district judge of one circuit for service in another circuit, either in a district court or court of appeals, upon presentation of a certificate of necessity by the chief judge or circuit justice of the circuit wherein the need arises. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 901.)}} The Federal Enforcement Act of 1870 attempted to do just what this bill seeks to do, that is, take away from the States the control of their elections and place that control in the hands of federally appointed officials. If anyone has any doubts about the failure of the Enforcement Act or even its constitutionality he should read the various decisions of the United States Supreme Court declaring almost every section of the act unconstitutional. When Congress finally got around to repealing that act in 1893 here are some of the frauds cited in Congress as reasons for repeal. They included 19,000 fraudulent naturalization certificates being issued by a single judge in New York State. They included payment in fees from the United States Treasury to a single Federal supervisor of elections and commissioner of the Federal court the sum of $145,000. Interestingly enough, repeal was initiated by a New York Congressman. See {{sc|Congressional Record}}, Volume 25, pages 1959, 1808. Mr. President, on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, I made a motion in the Senate to have H. R. 6127 in its so-called compromise form referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that I believed it to be a dangerous procedure to allow bills to come over from the House of Representatives and be placed on the calendar of the Senate without being referred to the appropriate committee. However, my motion was voted down 66 to 18, so the bill is now before the Senate for consideration. Since very few Members of the Senate were present at that time to hear my objections to the present version of H. R. 6127, I shall present my arguments again. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution because that would be the result insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common-law cases. These guaranties were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historic document their complaints against denial of the right of trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. After declaring that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the signers of the Declaration pointed out that the King had a history of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.” Then they proceeded to the listing of a bill of particulars against the King. He was charged with “depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.” That is what the Declaration of Independence contained. The King was charged, among other things, with depriving the American people of the benefit of trial by jury. That is the very thing I am fighting for—the right of trial by jury, which is contained in the Constitution, and embodied in it in quite a number of places. The compromise bill which comes from the House attempts to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The bill does not provide for a trial by jury unless the penalty is more than 45 days’ imprisonment or more than a $300 fine. That is a compromise of the Constitution. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. When the original Constitution was written there was placed in it article III., section 2, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. Then the Bill of Rights was adopted, and that right was provided in three different places. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and onetime Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. “The Bill of Rights,” he declared, “denies the power of any government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.” Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic law if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes, in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. When our forefathers met in 1787 in Philadelphia they wrote in article III., section 2, of the Constitution that in all crimes except treason a man shall be entitled to a jury trial. In several places in the Bill of Rights they wrote it again, with special emphasis in the sixth amendment that a man is entitled to a jury trial. Yet the compromisers brought forth a compromise which {{SIC|attemps|attempts}} to compromise the Constitution of the United States. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. The compromise would have been unconstitutional if it had provided that if a judge wanted to punish for criminal contempt he could sentence the defendant to serve 1 day or fine him $1. He has no right to fine him $1 or give him 1 day’s punishment in prison without a jury trial, because the Constitution says that in a criminal case a man charged with crime is entitled to a jury trial. I cited last night a decision which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and this so-called compromise which has come to the Senate is an effort of the Senate and the House of Representatives to get together, but in the effort to get together and pass a political bill—and that is all it is—they have been willing to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says, “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. If the Constitution had had an exception in it and read, “This shall not apply to criminal contempt or crimes of criminal contempt,” then there would be some basis for the Congress to legislate. But it did not make such an exception. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “The trial of ''all'' crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. What right has a Federal judge to use his discretion and tell a man he can be tried by a jury? The Constitution says if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to be tried by a jury if he wants to be tried by a jury. In the Constitution there is no exception of criminal contempt or any exception that gives a judge the power to try a man so charged rather than a jury. We are dealing with the basic rights of the people of this Nation and we should be careful to protect those precious rights which have been handed down to us by our forefathers. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. We cannot make trial by jury a matter of degree. If the Constitution gives a man the right of trial by jury, he has that right and we cannot take it away from him. The Congress cannot take it away. Furthermore, this compromise pretends to let the judge try the case if he wants to do so, in his discretion. Then if he finds the defendant ought to be punished by a fine in excess of $300 or by imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the man is entitled to a trial by jury. Do you not know, Mr. President, that if a judge has already tried a man, and then the defendant asks for a jury trial, the judge’s decision is bound to affect the jury in the case strongly, even if it were constitutional for that to be done, which it is not? Under this proposal if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days in prison he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of punishment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. I realize that Congress may want to get away from Washington. We have had a long, hard session. I also realize that both national parties are playing to the minorities by means of the right-to-vote bill, when each State in the Nation has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and section 594 of the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure protects the right to vote. Yet, as a political gesture, both parties are making this play to try to claim credit. Watch my prediction that in the elections of 1958 both parties will try to claim that they got the civil-rights bill through the Congress. Why are we not more interested in preserving the Constitution? Are we going to violate the Constitution by passing a political civil-rights bill in order to give thunder and political fodder to politicians to enable them to garner votes? Which is more important, the Constitution of this country or the political parties vying for the votes of minorities? I wish to see the right to vote exercised by every man who is qualified to vote and who wants to vote. If he is entitled to vote, I want to see him vote. But the true purpose of this bill is not to insure the right to vote, because we have statutes in every State, and we have statutes on the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure now already that punish people interfering with anybody trying to vote. If the statutes we now have on the books are not being enforced, what good will it do to put another statute on the books? If the Justice Department is claiming that there are any individuals who have been denied their right to vote, why does it not prosecute them under the present law, which is completely adequate? And if no people have been denied the right to vote, then why is it claimed that this bill is necessary? The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents and in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. Perhaps the House and the Senate wanted to get together and they thought this was the only way they could do it, but I want to tell the American people when they did get together and brought forth this compromise they violated the Constitution of the United States. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill. Like father, like son; a chip off the old block. Both are bad. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of the fine—or even 1 cent—and if a day, or even an hour, were added to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial, and a jury would decide the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. The proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was passed by the Senate. The inclusion by the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, made the bill a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, the present unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope a majority of the Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the ''bloc'' voting of the pivotal states. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about. Those are the words of Stewart Alsop; and he is not a southerner, so far as I know. To explain his point, he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States, Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election. The following four paragraphs are quoted directly from Mr. Alsop’s column: {{smaller block|In 1954, Averell Harriman was elected Governor of New York by less than 15,000 votes over Senator {{sc|Irving Ives}}. According to Harris’ analysis, Harriman polled a whopping 79 percent of the Negro vote. Negro voters thus supplied Harriman with his margin of victory several times over. Two years later, the Democrats had dropped some 90,000 Negro votes to the Republicans—or about 6 times the number of votes {{sc|Ives}} needed to defeat Harriman.}} {{smaller block|Or take another close race—the victory of Senator {{sc|Joseph Clark}}, of Pennsylvania, over the Republican incumbent, Senator James Duff, in 1956. Again, {{sc|Clark}} just squeaked in, with a plurality of less than 18,000 votes. {{sc|Clark}}, despite the Supreme Court, carried the Negro vote by a huge 76 percent margin, which was worth about 150,000 votes to him. Suppose the Negro vote had dropped off as sharply in Pennsylvania as it did in Illinois, where it nosedived from 75 percent in 1952 to 58 percent in 1956. Then Duff would be in the Senate by a comfortable majority, and {{sc|Clark}} would be practicing law.}} {{smaller block|Other examples could be cited, like that of Senator {{sc|Paul Douglas}}, of Illinois, who owes about 60 percent of his 1954 plurality to the Negro vote. But the lesson is clear enough. If the Republicans can attract something approaching half the Negro vote in the Northern States, the Republican Party will then be the normal majority party in those States.}} {{smaller block|Read the role of big States in which the Negroes can be expected to poll 5 percent or more of the total vote—not only New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but such States as Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and California. It then becomes clear what is at stake in the civil-rights struggle—nothing less than the future balance of political power in the Nation.}} But, Mr. President, are we going to compromise the Constitution, whether we lose an election or not? Which is more important—to win an election or to preserve the Constitution? It is about time that both parties began to consider the welfare of the country and to determine whether the Constitution is of more importance, or whether winning an election is of more importance. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today; but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law, eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of the bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Under the provisions of the compromise, jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge, so long as the sentence he metes does not exceed the maximum limit set for denying trial by jury. The proponents of the bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim, the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When the bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted the great legal mind of 18th century England, Blackstone. Because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him again at this time. This is what Blackstone had to say: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} That is what Blackstone, the leading legal light the world has known, had to say. I wish to repeat one of his sentences: {{smaller block|And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} Mr. President, a trial by jury is one of the bedrocks of this democracy. It is one of the bedrocks of this Nation. It is one of the bedrocks of this Government. When we talk to people in the street and to laymen generally about taking away their right of trial by jury, they cannot understand it, because they know that the Constitution provides that a man shall have a trial by jury when he is charged with the commission of a crime. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen, chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth, and the surest guardians of public justice. For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan of the United States Supreme Court delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, that is a significant statement to me, coming from a member of the present Supreme Court. I will not predict what the Court might do when the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury as embodied in this so-called compromise is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the people of this Nation want Federal judges to have the power to punish persons for criminal contempt by sentences of either days, weeks, or months in jail, or by fines of dollars, they can amend the Constitution and provide for it. If the people of this country want Federal judges to have the discretion of determining whether a person shall have a jury trial or not, then they can amend the Constitution and so provide. There is no provision and no exception for either instance in the present Constitution. That is certainly a clue to what might be expected from the Court when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. I think what the Supreme Court did in the ''Reid'' against ''Covert'' case might be a clue to what it might do, or what might be expected of the Court, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all of the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State. A summary of these laws was submitted to me, and I request that this summary be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. The people of my State vote. I am in favor of qualified people voting. All the people of my State vote if they are qualified. Whence comes this hue and cry? Those raising it have not presented the matter to the Judiciary Committee, so the chairman of that committee may hold hearings. They have held hearings for weeks and months on the subject, and the proponents of the bill have failed to present evidence to show that people do not have the right to vote. It is inescapable, as I have said, that this is a political bill and not a bill to provide the right to vote. The people already have that privilege. If any such incident as a refusal to permit a citizen to vote had occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. The people of the States are interested in justice just as are the officials of the Federal Government, but I shall return to that subject in a few minutes and go into the matter of the Federal statutes a little more fully. We have Federal statutes to protect the right to vote, if the voters are not satisfied with the State statutes, and certainly the Federal statutes protect them. I say that the Negro citizens in South Carolina are safeguarded in their rights; and the payment of a poll tax is not required. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. As I have said, South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. Registration is necessary only once every 10 years. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that the poll tax be repealed as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature acted promptly and submitted the matter to the people, and the people voted in favor of repeal of the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature approved it, and we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina, if proof is desired, can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia, S. C., Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that “estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina constitution which protect a citizen’s right to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 9, suffrage: The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 10, elections free and open: All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 5, appeal; crimes against election laws: Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 8, registration provided; elections; board of registration; books of registration: The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the 1st of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 15, right of suffrage free: No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the record to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Code, title 23}}}}}} {{smaller block|23–73. Appeal from denial of registration.}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court.}} {{smaller block|23–74. Proceedings to court of common pleas.}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as Calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{smaller block|23–75. Further appeal to supreme court.}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make. If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} In other words, in our State, if anybody has an appeal and it goes before the trial judge and he denies it, the supreme court will go into session in order to hear such a case so as to be sure that nobody is deprived of the right to vote. {{smaller block|23–100. Right to vote.}} {{smaller block|No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct.

Also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, proves that there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right-to-vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an unusual grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department is not needed because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed, and he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved, and there is no indication that conditions will change unless the Attorney General and the Civil Rights Commission create trouble, there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of civil-rights matters in the Department of Justice. Mr. President, permit me to digress in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the Bill of Rights. I have before me a book entitled “Our Bill of Rights: What It Means To Me—A National Symposium,” edited by James Waterman, Wisconsin: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|Things of the spirit never die.

It came into being at a time of great distress and clearly represented the desires of the people who had paid a high price for their independence, and were determined to keep it. Since that time it has weathered an internal conflict, foreign wars, periods of economic depression. Even during these emergencies there has been no foreshortening of the scope of the Bill of Rights, nor has its fundamental character been altered. Invariably after these crises have passed each American has turned his face homeward and found, to his intense joy, his personal liberty inviolate. This augurs well for the future. Perhaps the destructive forces loose in the world will assume more awesome proportions than any yet seen; perhaps the dangers and hardships of the civilian population will be greater than ever before; but I cannot believe that these new developments will serve to swerve us from our course any more than the vicissitudes of the past.}} {{smaller block|Undoubtedly it will mean a vigilant citizenry constantly on guard. But we have that. Undoubtedly it will mean leadership of the highest quality, but we have that, too. In fact, I can think of no more impressive reiteration of belief in the Bill of Rights than that made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress last January:}} {{smaller block|“In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.}} {{smaller block|“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The third is freedom from want. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The fourth is freedom from fear. * * *}} {{smaller block|“That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.}} {{smaller block|“This Nation has placed its destiny in the hands, heads, and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.}} {{smaller block|“To that high concept there can be no end save victory.”}} Mr. President, those were the words of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in speaking of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees a jury trial to the people of the United States, but which the so-called compromise civil-rights bill would deprive the people of. I read further: {{smaller block|We accept our liberty, as we do our health, pretty much as a matter of course, hardly giving it a thought until we begin to lose it. Then we become conscious of how much it means.}} {{smaller block|Experience throughout the long period of human history teaches that liberty must be won in every generation and can be held only by eternal vigilance. As foes of freedom the aggressors reappear with different weapons, but always with the same aim—to destroy the souls of freemen.}} {{smaller block|That religion and democracy are closely linked together is a truism proved amply in the history of our country. The American colonies were settled by men and women seeking a free life, as well as a home for freedom. Religion was written prominently into their agreements, covenants, pacts, and constitutions, but the early colonists made no provision for the the free exercise of religion. Those who had fled before the demands of conformity later determined by law that others must conform or get out of the colony. It was said of Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, if he had found toleration in his dictionary, he would have cut the word out, just as he drew his sword and cut the red cross out of the English flag because it represented the ancient Catholic faith of England. This attitude, formulated into law and supported by stern preaching, led to the founding of Rhode Island by Roger Williams and his associates. They were the first ones to put into practice the principle of the independence of the individual conscience even beyond the grants of liberty by the State. Maryland was founded by a small company of Catholics seeking freedom of worship in 1634, only 14 years after the Protestant Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth.}} {{smaller block|Under Lord Baltimore’s liberal rule there developed a large degree of freedom in religion, as well as a remarkable advance in democratic procedure. The people of Maryland not only took part in making their laws but were given power to originate laws. No other colony at the time enjoyed quite as much freedom, and in 1649 the assembly passed the Toleration Act which confirmed by law these liberties. Following this action, Maryland became the refuge not only for the oppressed Catholics from England, but Protestants from some of the other American colonies, Puritans from Virginia, Quakers, and others who found congenial homes in this colony.}} It is true that the Toleration Act was not very broad in that it tolerated only those of the Christian religion, but it was a step forward on the road to liberty and marked a greater advance than anything even in England at the time. It remained for the colony at Providence, R. I., to advance the act of toleration by granting full religious freedom to Christians and Jews and even to those without any religious affiliation or belief. The act affirmed “that men of all religions should live unmolested so long as they behaved themselves.” The Bill of Rights provides for freedom of religion. Our Bill of Rights provides for many vital rights which we enjoy. The study of the Constitution should be an essential part not only of the education of the American youth, but of all Americans, and especially those who have become naturalized citizens of this great Nation. While all of us cannot be trained in the technicalities of the law, we should have some idea of our fundamental institutions. We need to know their relationship to our daily life, the reasons for their existence, and the benefits we derive from them, as well as the importance to ourselves of their perpetuation. The Constitution is not self-perpetuating by any means; if it is to survive it will be because it has the support of the people—not passive, but active public support. This means making adequate sacrifice to maintain that which is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. The Constitution has its roots in the great and heroic past of the English-speaking race. Today, under that Constitution which was adopted through the blood and sweat of the pioneers of our country, the safeguard of personal liberty is ever present. Under our great Bill of Rights our governmental power is divided into three parts. The first is the power granted to the Central Government; the second that reserved to the States; and the third, and by far the most important, although at times the fact may not be generally recognized, the power reserved to the people under the many inhibitions upon both State and Federal legislation. In the turmoil which now seems to have engulfed the entire world, the citizens of the United States should well remember particularly that it is the people, those who go to make up the great cross-section of this country, who must guard the ramparts from the ever-increasing dangers of nazism, fascism, and communism. Our Constitution is the final safeguard of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure, but should it fall into disrespect or disrepute the way of orderly, organized government as we have known it for the past 150 years will be at an end. When the Federal Constitution was, on September 28, 1787, submitted by Congress to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, there was very strong opposition to its adoption in all the States. The Democrats, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, feared that the provisions of the instrument would unduly abridge States rights and result in a Government too highly centralized for their views. It was necessary for nine States to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth State, New Hampshire, gave its approval. The States which had not ratified up to that time were Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Virginia and New York gave their assent in 1788. When President Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Hall in New York, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had ratified and, therefore, were not States of the United States. These two reluctant States did, however, come into line. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The Bill of Rights was a pacer in the democratic movement in America and as such is entitled to all the prestige of leadership. Yet it really took a century after its enactment for American women to procure the 19th amendment to the Federal Constitution which compelled reluctant States to grant them the basic right of the free—the right to vote. Non-Christian men and freethinkers of their sex more readily wrested from State legislatures the guaranty of their civil rights. But even the original Bill of Rights would have been a dead letter if dauntless men and women, risking death, had not taught the public to listen without rioting to opinions which it abhorred. That educational process enabled the letter of the law to live in practice, or application, for the American way of life. In celebrating the original Bill of Rights now, we should celebrate with it the courage and skill of the men and the women who made tolerance a fact as well as a principle of law. The open forum, so characteristic of American democracy, owes its inception and its continuation to persons of both sexes who insisted that law and practice were parts of the same thing. That rights carry duties has become a third aspect of democratic evaluations, nurtured on free debates. It is increasingly understood in America that liberty could become license; that rights if viewed as extreme personal privileges could reduce society to anarchy. There is today, in connection with rights, the wide prevalence of the philosophy that rights are granted to individuals in order that they may develop their talents for competent voluntary cooperation in the thought and action essential to the strength of society, to general welfare, and to the very endurance of civil liberties themselves. A history of civilization could be written around the derivation of the privileges that constitute our Bill of Rights. The emphasis would be not on rulers and governments but on the struggle mankind has waged for centuries to obtain recognition of the rights of individual men. These rights are guaranties necessary to any people who wish to live in the free atmosphere of liberty. They are the foundation of any government that exists by the free will of the governed and not by the military force of self-appointed rulers. The history of our own Bill of Rights is fired with the determination of the American people to preserve their liberties as individuals living in a free state. It is significant that these first 10 amendments in our Constitution were drawn from earlier declarations of rights which a number of the Original Thirteen States had formulated for themselves before they joined the Union. They not only served as models for our Federal Constitution but became basic patterns for new democracies all over the world. Today there is abroad in the world a monstrous force that would set the clock back and reestablish regimes that rank the state above the individual. Already in many lands fundamental rights have been destroyed; and the existence of our own is threatened. Such crises have occurred before in the history of man but never with such ruthless vehemence and on such a worldwide scale. Mr. President, there are many objections to H. R. 6127, but the strongest objection is the failure to give a jury trial. I wish now to present to the Senate some information on the jury trial and I shall go into the historical development of the jury system. This information is coming from the History of the Jury System, by Maximus A. Lesser, instructor of political science, New York Evening High School. Some very important points are brought out here about the jury system which are pertinent to this debate. {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Historical Development of the Jury System}}}}}} {{c|{{sm|(By Maximus A. Lesser)}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JURY}}}} {{smaller block|The subject we propose to investigate is the historical genesis and gradual development of an institution which, today is an inseparable element of English jurisprudence and an important factor in the administration of justice, wherever the English or common law, “* * * the State’s collected will, o’er thrones and globes elate, sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.”}} {{smaller block|This purpose is not free from difficulties, for, while the nature and functions of the tribunal, as today existent, are sufficiently well comprehended, still the origin of that institution and the successive steps by which it was evolved are less clearly understood and subject to considerable misconception, as is evinced by the many and conflicting theories advanced in explanation thereof. It is the object of this treatise to reconcile, as far as may be, these various views, to give to each well sustained suggestion its proper weight and effect during the formative period, and to trace its influence in the production of the result. The method of treatment is, in general, chronological; for the English jury is so closely interwoven with the historical and political development of the English nation, that every component which contributed to the formation and completion of the latter had a concomitant effect upon the former; accordingly, the history and features of each foreign factor will be described in connection with that period of our history at which it first made itself felt. For to the jury may be truly applied, what Maine says of law, that it is a matter of growth, the result of the needs of the community in which it originated; and an institution—as another writer well observes—which “does not owe its existence to any positive law; it is not the creature of an act of Parliament establishing the form and defining the functions of the new tribunal. It arose * * * silently and gradually out of the usages of a state of society which has forever passed away.” We will, in the first place, regard its general aspect and characteristics as beheld today, and then proceed to consider whether, and in what respects, it is resembled by institutions of early days. The body with which we have to deal—in the language of an able Scotch jurist—“is the institution by which disputed facts are to be decided for judicial purposes in the administration of civil or criminal justice, and which is in modern times familiar to us under the denomination of trial by jury. * * * The etymological derivation of the term is obviously from ''juro'', to swear, whence we find this institution called in forensic Latin ''jurata'', and the persons composing it ''jurati''. * * * When the object is inquiry only, this tribunal is sometimes called an inquest or inquisition, as in the instance of a grand jury or coroner’s inquest; but when facts are to be determined by it for judicial purposes, it is always styled a jury.”}} {{smaller block|This board of inquiry, then, is composed of “a body of men taken from the community at large, summoned to find the truth of disputed facts. Their office is to decide upon the effect of evidence and thus inform the court truly upon the question at issue, in order that the latter may be enabled to pronounce a right judgment. But they are not the court itself nor do they form part of it; and have nothing to do with the sentence which follows the delivery of their verdict.” While, concerning the third characteristic element of our jury, De Lolme wrote that they who have the power to discriminate between disputed facts and “to whom the law has thus exclusively delegated the prerogative of deciding that a punishment is to be inflicted—those men without whose declaration the executive and the judicial powers are both thus bound down to inaction, do not form among themselves a permanent body, who may have had time to study how their power can serve to promote their private views or interest; they are men selected at once from among the people, who perhaps never were before called to the exercise of such a function, nor foresee that they ever shall be called to it again.”}} {{smaller block|In other words, the jury is the sole judge of the weight of evidence adduced and the arbiter of compensation for contracts broken or injuries sustained, and is composed of men selected by lot and “sworn to declare the facts of a case as they are delivered from the evidence placed before them”—its province being to determine the truth of facts or the amount of damages in civil, and the guilt or innocence of the accused in criminal, cases.}} {{smaller block|This province is confined by the following limitations:}} {{smaller block|(1) It is restricted to the consideration of matters proved by evidence at the trial;}} {{smaller block|(2) It is subject to the instructions of the judge, concerning the rules of law applicable;}} {{smaller block|(3) It is influenced by the directions of the judge, as to weight, value, and materiality of evidence;}} {{smaller block|(4) It is affected by the selection of the jurors from the locality of the action, whence they discharge their duties with a certain amount of independent local knowledge, whilom “counted on, and deemed essential to a just consideration of the case.”}} {{smaller block|Two other qualifications may be added. After the rendition of a verdict in a civil case, it is still within the power of the trial judge to modify or even annul the same, in a proper case; for instance, “because the verdict is for excessive or insufficient damages, or otherwise contrary to the evidence or contrary to law.”}} {{smaller block|Again, in a criminal case, a verdict of conviction, even when accompanied by a recommendation of mercy, does not control the sentence to be meted out by the presiding magistrate, who may impose the highest or lowest or any intermediate penalty prescribed by law as proper for the offense committed.}} {{smaller block|How, then, did this institution, whose features as currently administered have just been described, originate? What are the sources from whence it arose, and the forces by which it was developed? Did it spring forth, like Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, ready for action and fully equipped with forensic vesture and legal armament, or was its development the result of the gradual accretion of successive strata of growth? As stated above, various and conflicting theories are advanced to answer these queries.}} {{smaller block|“Many writers of authority,” says Canon Stubbs, “have maintained that the entire jury system indigenous in England, some deriving it from Celtic tradition based on the principles of Roman law, and adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans from the people they had conquered, others have regarded it as a product of that legal genius of the Anglo-Saxons of which Alfred is the mythic impersonation, or as derived by that nation from the customs of primitive Germany or from their intercourse with the Danes. Nor even, when it is admitted that the system of recognition was introduced from Normandy, have legal writers agreed as to the source from which the Normans themselves derived it. One scholar maintains that it was brought by the Norsemen from Scandinavia; another, that it was derived from the processes of the Canon Law; another, that it was developed on Gallic soil from Roman principles; another, that it came from Asia through the Crusades.” An American authority insists that it “is undoubtedly a development of English institutions and civilization.” Again, it is suggested that it was borrowed by the Angles and Saxons from their Slavonic neighbors in northern Europe; it has been traced to the assises de Jerusalem of Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed to be of divine origin; and, finally, a French scholar despairingly exclaims: “Son origine se perd dans la niut de temps.”}} {{smaller block|According to Robertson, “the true answer is, that forms of trial resembling the jury system in various particulars are to be found in the primitive institutions of all [Aryan] nations. That which comes nearest in time and character to trial by jury is the system of recognition by sworn inquest, introduced into England by the Normans * * * the instrument which the lawyers in England ultimately shaped into trial by jury.” The name “Recognition,” Bracton tells us, is deduced from the fact that the participants “acknowledged” a disseisin or dispossession by their verdict, and the inquest itself was “directly derived from the Frank capitularies, into which it may have been adopted from the fiscal regulations of the Theodosian Code and thus own some distant relationship with the Roman jurisprudence.” This is the system which, Lord Campbell writes, “in the fifth Norman reign had nearly superseded the simple juridical institutions of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors;” while an eminent American jurist, after observing that investigation has shown among Norman legal usages traces more closely resembling our form of jury trial than anything afforded by the system of the Anglo-Saxons, concludes:}} {{smaller block|“We regard it, therefore, as certain that all these influences contributed to establish this mode of trial in England, and to shape it as we know it to exist there. Indeed, it was not until all of them had had an opportunity of completing their work, that we find what we should now call a jury.”}} {{smaller block|A due regard for the definiteness of legal phraseology calls for some comment on the meaning of “law and fact,” terms so frequently employed in the course of this work. Law, in its widest sense, is a rule of action; in its technical sense, it is a general rule of human action, taking cognizance only of external acts, enforced by a determinate human authority paramount within a state. Whether the rule so enforced be moral or pernicious, is impertinent to the question. “The existence of law is one thing, its merit or demerit another.” Again, “although human actions are the subject-matter about which law is conversant, they are not essential to its existence; for the rule is the same, whether its application is called forth or not. * * * The rule continues in abstraction and theory, until an act is done on which it can attach. * * * The maxim, ''ex facto oritur jus'' must be understood in this sense; and the duty of judicial tribunals, consequently, embraces the investigation of doubtful or disputed facts, as well as the application of the principles of jurisprudence to such as are ascertained.”}} {{smaller block|Fact is a term most difficult to define—so much so that Mr. Justice Stephen (in the third edition of his Digest of the Law of Evidence) abandoned the attempt previously made. Webster’s definition (ed. 1859) is: “Anything done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event.” Negatively, a learned American jurist suggests that “nothing is a question of fact which is not a question of the existence, reality, truth of something.” Anything which is the subject of testimony is “matter of fact,” while “matter of law” is the general law of the land of which courts take judicial cognizance. Evidence is the means or method by which a fact under judicial examination may be proved or disproved. “Whether there be any evidence, is a question for the judge. Whether sufficient evidence, is for the jury.”}} {{smaller block|In any event, it is clear that the formula of Coke, hereinabove quoted, “was never meant to be taken absolutely. * * * It relates to issues of fact, and not to the incidental questions that spring up before the parties are at issue. The jury has to do with only a limited class of questions of fact, namely, questions of ultimate fact.” “In general, issues of fact, and only issues of fact, are to be tried by jury; when they are so tried, the jury and not the court are to find the facts, and the court and not the jury is to give the rule of law; the jury are not to refer the evidence to the judge and ask his judgment upon that, but are to find the facts which the evidence tends to establish, and may only ask the court for judgment upon these.”}} Mr. President, I shall next take up the history of the jury system of the Anglo-Saxons: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Chapter VI.—The System of the Anglo-Saxons}}}}}} {{smaller block|As regards the manner of men who now directed the destinies of England—for under that name (derived from the Angles) the island is henceforth known—and who indelibly impressed their characteristics upon it, and concerning their status in the scale of civilization, a graphic description is afforded us by the same historian. They “were little removed from the original state of nature; the social confederacy among them was more martial than civil; they had chiefly in view the means of attack and defense against public enemies, not those of protection against their fellow citizens; their possessions were so slender and so equal that they were not exposed to great danger, and the natural bravery of the people made every man trust to himself and to his particular friends for his defense. * * * An insult upon any man was regarded by his relations and associates as a common injury; they were bound by honor, as well as by a sense of common interest, to revenge his death or any violence which he had suffered; they retaliated on the aggressor by like acts of violence; and if he were protected, as was natural and unusual, by his own clan, the quarrel was spread still wider and bred endless disorders in the nation.”}} {{smaller block|Such, then, was the state of civilization which the Saxons enjoyed, and such the social and political structure which superseded the administration of the Romans. For almost four centuries the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—true to the characteristics of their founders—present a history of uninterrupted warfare, bloodshed and internecine strife, though Christianity had meanwhile prevailed among them. Wessex, however, gradually acquired the hegemony, and in A. D. 827 its King Egbert succeeded in securing his acknowledgment as supreme head of the heptarchy, with which event the history of the English nation properly begins.}} {{smaller block|Concerning their civil and social condition, at this period, after a sojourn of 400 years on English soil, it appears that “though they had been so long settled in the island [they] seem not as yet to have been much improved beyond their German ancestors, either in arts, civility, knowledge, humanity, justice, or obedience to the laws. * * * Bounty to the church atoned for every violence against society.” It cannot be doubted that, under ordinary circumstances, nationalization would have paved the way to improvements in the administration of justice, which, under the primitive system and the constant wars of the Saxons, had sadly degenerated. For, since “their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious * * * a union also in government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility. * * * But these flattering views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, kept the Anglo-Saxons in perpetual inquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude.”}} {{smaller block|The first great landmark in the history of English law is the reign of King Alfred (871–901), who, after he had restored peace, and either settled the Danes in or expelled them from the country, turned his attention to the administration of justice, which had become a mere name. His political and juridical institutions are recorded by Hume, as follows: “That he might render the execution of justice strict and regular, he divided all England into counties; these counties he divided into hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. Every householder was answerable for the behavior of his family. * * * Ten neighboring householders were formed into one corporation, who, under the name of a tithing, decennary, or fribourg, were answerable for each other’s conduct, and over whom one person, called a tithingman, headbourg, or borsholder, was appointed to preside. Every man was punished as an outlaw who did not register himself in some tithing.}} {{smaller block|“By this institution, every man was obliged from his own interest to keep a watchful eye on the conduct of his neighbors; and was in a manner surety for the behavior of those who were placed under the division to which he belonged. Whence these decennaries received the name of frankpledges. The barsholder summoned together the whole decennary to assist him in deciding any lesser difference which occurred among the members. In appeals from the decennary, or in controversies arising between members of different decennaries, the case was brought before the hundred, which consisted of 10 decennaries or 100 families of freemen, and which was regularly assembled once in 4 weeks for the deciding of causes. (Leg. Edw. c. 2.)}} {{smaller block|“Their method of decision deserves to be noted, as being”—at least in our historian’s opinion—“the origin of juries. * * * Twelve freeholders were chosen, who, having sworn (together with the hundred or presiding magistrate of that division) to administer impartial justice, proceeded to the examination of that cause which was submitted to their jurisdiction. And besides these monthly meetings of the hundred, there was an annual meeting appointed * * * for the inquiry into crimes, the correction of abuses, and other matters of public concern. If a further appeal were desired, or in controversies between members of different hundreds, the case was brought before the freeholders of the county (or shire) over whom the bishop together with the alderman presided. A final appeal lay to the King himself.}} {{smaller block|“Formerly the alderman possessed both the civil and military authority; but Alfred * * * appointed also a sheriff in each county, who enjoyed a coordinate authority with the former in his judicial (as distinguished from the military) function. His office also empowered him to guard the rights of the crown in the county, and to levy the fines imposed.”}} {{smaller block|Such was the system established by Alfred, and adhered to by his successors as far as those turbulent times permitted. For its promotion and perpetuation, as well as for the guidance of the magistrates, on whom the duty to administer it was incumbent, the same king—according to our historical guide—“framed a body of laws which, though now lost, served long as the basis of English jurisprudence, and is generally deemed the origin of what is denominated the common law.” While his judgment concerning the paternity of the system is, that “the similarity of these institutions to the customs of the ancient Germans, and to the Saxon laws during the heptarchy, prevents us from regarding Alfred as the sole author of this plan of government, and leads us rather to think that he contented himself with reforming, extending, and executing the institutions which he found previously established.”}} {{smaller block|Thus far Hume, whose profound historical researches, combined with his early legal training, certainly entitle his opinion to much weight. But the existence, among the Saxons, of any institution resembling the jury has been hotly contested, and the dispute whether it was known to the Anglo-Saxons or introduced as a result of the Norman conquest, may be thus summarized: Coke (in his Institutes), Spelman (Glossarium Archaiologicum), Blackstone (Com. III., ch. 23), Nicholson (preface to Wilkin’s Anglo-Saxon Laws), and Turner (Hist. Anglo-Saxons, IV., book XI., ch. 9) ascribe it to Saxon paternity. On the other hand, Hickes (Dissert. Epist. p. 34), Reeves (Hist. Eng. Law, I., 22, 24), and Palgrave (Rise and Progress of Commonwealth, I, 243) claim with equal confidence that it was introduced by or at least derived from the Normans and was not of Anglo-Saxon origin.}} {{smaller block|So Judge Cooley (Am. Cycl. IX. 722) approvingly observes that “so many of the attendant circumstances indicate that it was a Norman institution, bestowed upon his English subjects by a Norman king, that Sir Francis Palgrave has not hesitated to consider our jury trial as derived directly from Norman law” and Mr. Macclachlan (Eng. Cycl. III., 24) remarks: “Without entering minutely into this controversy, it may be stated that the traces of the trial by jury, in the form in which it existed for several centuries after the conquest, are more distinctly discernible in the ancient customs of Normandy than in the few and scanty fragments of Anglo-Saxon law which have descended to our time.”}} {{smaller block|The conclusion reached by Mr. Forsyth affords perhaps the fairest statement of the case, and may be advantageously quoted in this place: “It may be confidently asserted that trial by jury was unknown to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors; and the idea of its existence in their legal system has arisen from a want of attention to the radical distinction between the members or judges composing a court, and a body of men set apart from that court, but summoned to attend in order to determine conclusively the facts of the case in dispute. This is the principle on which is founded the intervention of a jury; and no trace whatever can be found of such an institution in Anglo-Saxon times.}} {{smaller block|“If it has existed,” he continues, “it is utterly inconceivable that distinct mention of it should not frequently have occurred in the body of Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary chronicles which we possess, extending from the time of Ethelbert (568–616) to the Norman Conquest (1066). Those who have fancied that they discover indications of its existence during that period, have been misled by false analogies and inattention to the distinguishing features of the jury trial which have been previously pointed out. While, however, we assert that it was unknown in Saxon times, it is nevertheless true that we can recognize the traces of a system which paved the way for its introduction, and rendered its adaptation at a later period [the reign of Henry II.] neither unlikely nor abrupt. * * * Of the exact mode in which trials were conducted in these [ante-Norman] courts, we know little; but the Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporaneous annals make frequent mention of two classes of witnesses, who play a most important part in the judicial proceedings of the time.” These are compurgators and official witnesses, who, together with other features of their system, will be more fully considered hereafter.}} {{smaller block|With the demise of King Alfred, his system gradually lost ground. “During the reign of eight kings who succeeded Alfred,” wrote Gilmans, “the country suffered constant invasions from Denmark, which became so oppressive that in 991 the King, Ethelred II., agreed to pay the Danes 10,000 pounds, called danegelt, to buy immunity. This sum was raised by a tax on land, the first one recorded in English history.” Eleven years later the same King planned and partly executed a general massacre of foreigners in the island (Danemort) which led to a fierce attack from the Danes, to the expulsion of the King, and to the establishment of Sweyn as ruler of England. His son Canute married Ethelred’s widow, a sister of the Duke of Normandy, in order, as it were, to legitimize his title, to strengthen his alliances, and to make secure the succession of his line.}} {{smaller block|When Canute, the Dane, mounted the English throne (1014) it might be supposed that he would transplant to, and incorporate in the system of, England the Danish quasi-jury or Nævninger—an institution common, with modifications, to all the Scandinavian nations—which derived its appellation from the fact of being composed of a fixed number of men (usually 12) named by the inhabitants of each district; a majority of those so chosen was competent to render a decision (subject to the ratification of the bishop and 8 best men of the district) in civil suits; while in criminal cases the accuser was obliged to convince the Nævn by sworn evidence of the truth of his charge, before the accused would be subjected to a public trial—this institution thus combining the functions of grand and petit jury with the exercise of judicial powers.}} {{smaller block|Canute, however, who was a lineal descendant of Alfred, and desirous of emulating that monarch, adopted a policy of conciliation toward the English. He had his succession to the throne ratified by a general assembly (Witenagemot) and publicly consented to restore and observe the Saxon customs and laws. In 1030, he addressed a letter “To all the Nations of the English”—under which designation he also meant to include the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—in which he said: “Be it known to you all, that I have dedicated my life to God, to govern my kingdom with justice, and to observe the right in all things.” That is, he refrained from making any essential innovations or alterations in the systems (political or judicial) to which his several dominions were accustomed, and in consequence Danish rule had no tangible formative effect on English jurisprudence.}} {{smaller block|The last of the Saxon line who ruled in England—chosen by the people when Sweyn’s family became extinct—was Edward the Confessor (1042–66) whom Hume deems commendable for his attention to the administration of justice, and his compiling for that purpose a body of laws which he collected from the laws of Ethelbert, Ina, and Alfred. This compilation, though now lost (for the laws that pass under Edward’s name were composed afterward) was long the object of affection to the English nation.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER VII.—FORMS OF TRIAL AND TRIBUNALS AMONG THE SAXONS}}}} {{smaller block|Having examined the social and political status of the Saxons in England, as evidenced by their history and environment, we may expect to find, on considering the judicial institutions, their personal characteristics reflected therein. Here, as there, we distinguish the same primitive system of administration, the same rudimentary ideas of right, the same regard for the efficacy of clerical absolution, the same adherence to old and meaningless forms, and the same reverence for the vis major.}} {{smaller block|The judicial system of the Anglo-Saxons depended for its administration on, and consisted of, four distinct factors or elements: these were, sectatores or suitors of court, the secta or suit of witnesses, official witnesses, and compurgators. These have been generally confounded or at least not clearly distinguished, and the misconception of their proper functions has given rise to many ingenious theories. In general it may be said that of all these functionaries the first class only performed judicial duties; the second and the third were species of witnesses; the fourth officiated (at least originally) in criminal cases only, while none of them were jurors. A delineation of the functions of each will be given, and a distinction attempted.}} {{smaller block|The name of sectatores is applied by Forsyth to the limited number of freemen “who attended the hundred, county, and manorial courts, to try offenses and determine disputes there; * * * and the obligation to attend was in the nature of a tenure, for neglect of which they might be distrained to appear.” For, in accordance with the customs of those days, “to do suit at a county or other inferior court was * * * one of the common tenures by which land was held, and the suitors, called sectatores, or * * * at a later period pares, were therefore bound to give their attendance.” Anciently their number appears to have depended on chance or convenience; nor do they appear to have acted always under the sanction of an oath; for to Reeves “it seems that causes in the county and other courts were heard and determined by an indefinite number of persons called sectatores,” of whom “the frequent mention,” he continues, “is no proof of juries, properly so-called, being known to our Saxon ancestors.” It would seem that this form of judicial tribunal was the modified outcome of a feature of the elaborate county system established by Alfred, and a result of the alterations necessitated and the encroachments caused by the incessant warfare prevalent after the death of that monarch, which must have greatly affected his system of government. The whole matter, however, is involved in much obscurity, and will be resumed, to some extent, in the chapter treating of the ''judicium parium''.}} {{smaller block|Concerning the second of the four classes, Professor Robertson observes: “The trial ''per sectam'' * * * resembled in principle the system of compurgation. The plaintiff proved his case by vouching a certain number of witnesses (secta) who had seen the transaction in question, and the defendant rebutted the presumption thus created by vouching a larger number of witnesses on his own side.” It was thus an application to civil suits of the principle, which governed the system of compurgation in relation to criminal causes. At a later period in Saxon history, however, it seems that compurgation was also extended to (and thus superseded the use of the secta in) * * * civil proceedings; or, at least, that the term “compurgation” was employed to designate both the criminal and the civil (''i. e.'', the sectatory) method. Indeed, the very name of secta became an alternative term for sectatores—the judges above described—which led to the confounding of the one with the other, and bred endless confusion and mistake.}} {{smaller block|At a more advanced period of the Anglo-Saxon dominion, when the defects of their mode of evidence and system of trial became perceptible even to their untutored minds, an attempt was made to partially remedy these defects by the official appointment in each district of sworn witnesses, whose duty it was to attest therein all sales, endowment of a woman ''ad ostium ecclesiae'', and the execution of charters. They were not subject to cross-examination, and their oath was decisive in case of dispute. Later, persons peculiarly qualified by circumstances (though not preappointed), were similarly sworn to prove age, ownership of chattels, and the death of one in whose estate dower was claimed. Hence in the Year Books (16 Edw. II., 507, A. D. 1323) we read complaint that one “may name ses cosyns et ses auns, who by his procurement will decide against us.”}} {{smaller block|The most important of the four elements, and that destined to play the largest part in the development of trial by jury, was compurgation. Under the Saxon system, in criminal cases the charge of the prosecutor or accuser sufficed to put the accused on his defense.}} {{smaller block|This defense was by means of the process of compurgation, which was in vogue among the various Teutonic nations (12 being the usual number) and rested on the maxim: “Nobilis homo ingenuus—cum duodecim ingenuis se purget.” Compurgators may be defined as persons, who supported by their oaths the credibility of the party accused, pledging their belief in the latter’s denial of the charge brought against him.}} {{smaller block|These were in no sense witnesses, for they might be wholly ignorant of the real facts in dispute; nor were they a jury, for no evidence was submitted to their consideration. They were merely friends of the party who summoned them; they knew his character, and by their united oaths they at once attested that character and their confidence in his truthfulness and the justice of his cause.}} {{smaller block|This mode of trial was brought into England by the Saxons, and Judge Cooley thus describes it: “Then the party accused—or, in later times, the party plaintiff or defendant—appeared with his friends, and they swore, he laying his hand on theirs and swearing with them, to the innocence of the accused, or to the claim or defense of the party. Little is certainly known either of the origin or of the extent, in point of time or of country, over which the trial by compurgators prevailed; but it must have had great influence over the subsequent forms of procedure. It fixed the number of the traverse (''i. e.'', the petit or trial) jury at 12, that being the common number of compurgators * * * and this was a great improvement on the varying and sometimes very large number in Greece and Rome.”}} {{smaller block|Where the compurgators coincided in a favorable declaration, there was a complete acquittal. But if the accused was unable to present a sufficient number of these purgers; or, “if the party had been before accused of larceny or perjury, or had otherwise been rendered infamous and was thought not worthy of credit—he was driven to make out his innocence by an appeal to heaven, in the trial by ordeal,” which was practiced either by the boiling water or the red-hot iron; the former being supplied to the common people, while the latter was reserved for the nobility. The nature of this institution is so curious and interesting, and its peculiarities throw so much light on the character of that age, as to warrant a fuller consideration of this primitive predecessor and sometime competitor of our criminal jury.}} {{smaller block|If the accused was sentenced to undergo the ordeal by hot water, “he was to put his head into it or his whole arm, according to the degree of the offense: if it was by cold water, his thumbs were tied to his toes, and in this posture he was thrown into it. If he escaped unhurt by the boiling water (which might easily be contrived by the art of the priests), or if he sunk in the cold water, which would certainly happen, he was declared innocent. If he was hurt by the boiling water or swum in the cold, he was considered as guilty.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator tell me the name of the case he is reading? Mr. THURMOND. It is the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. This so-called amendment that came from the House does not provide for a jury trial unless the judge in his discretion sees fit to give one; or unless he imposes punishment of more than 45 days’ imprisonment or a fine of more than $300. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator quoting at this point from a particular case, and, if so, will the Senator give us the name of the case? Mr. THURMOND. I am not quoting from a case at this particular time. I am going back into the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And to show how through the life of this Nation the jury trial has developed. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And how our forefathers in writing the Constitution put into it by article III., section 2, under which a man charged with a crime is entitled to a trial by jury. To remove any further doubt, when the Bill of Rights was written the same provision was made in several places. The sixth amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees a man charged with a crime the right to a jury trial. During the night, probably about 4 or 5 o’clock this morning, I did cite a case holding that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man who is being tried for criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know whether it has ever been held that criminal contempt is not a crime under the law of the Nation? Mr. THURMOND. I do not know of any decision in the courts where criminal contempt has not been considered a crime, and I have had all the authorities and ran them down. Criminal contempt is a crime. We have a decision on that point. When a man is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a trial by jury. However, under this proposal, the so-called compromise which came from the House, he will not get a jury trial unless the judge, out of the goodness of his heart, says “I think you are entitled to a jury trial, and I am going to give you one.” Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Or unless the judge tries him first and finds him guilty and finds that he should be punished by more than 45 days’ imprisonment or $300 fine, in which event he can give him a new trial. The judge tries him once, and then he will be tried again. I think there again the so-called compromise is unconstitutional because you cannot put a man in jeopardy two times. If he is tried once, he has been in jeopardy and he cannot be put in jeopardy again. The whole thing is a concoction to get a compromise on something for civil rights. It is purely an endeavor to get some kind of compromise; but it violates the Constitution, and I hope the Senate and the Congress will not pass it. Even people who believe in civil rights and have fought for civil rights are of that opinion. The distinguished Senator from Minnesota [Mr. {{sc|Humphrey}}] has made many speeches on civil rights. I remember one he made in 1948 at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, which I did not like at all because I am a States righter and not a so-called civil righter. I believe in real civil rights, but not the kind of civil rights which are being alleged here. I do not know how Senators who really believe in civil rights and who know the Constitution can vote for a bill which flatfootedly violates several provisions of the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know of any greater civil right any person possesses in any nation than the right to a trial by a jury of his peers and his neighbors when he is accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot imagine any civil right I would rather possess were I charged with a crime. I do not know of any civil right that is more vital to the people of the United States than the right of trial by jury. I do not know of any civil right that one could envision that could be more important. The right of trial by jury is most important because a man may be tried for his life. If he is not tried for his life, he can be put in prison. He can have his liberty taken away from him. It is only after trial by jury that a man in this Nation can have his liberty taken away from him. I do not want a judge to try me if I ever have to be tried. I want 12 of my peers, 12 of my fellow countrymen, as the Constitution provides. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Is not the right to trial by jury, in which a person accused of a crime to challenge any prejudiced person who might be on the jury venire one of the possible differences between the free system of government that exists in this Nation and other free nations as compared to the system of government that exists in Communist nations? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Senator has the vision to see and realize the importance of what jury trial means to the people of this Nation. I quoted during the night Associate Justice Brennan of the Supreme Court. I do not think a man could have made a stronger address than he made on the jury-trial question. Justice Brennan made a powerful argument for a jury trial even in automobile-accident cases. Even where property is involved—not liberty, not life, but property—he believed there should be protection to the citizen through jury trial. Under the so-called compromise civil-rights bill a judge can put a man in jail for 45 days, and some judges will do so if they have the opportunity. They will make it exactly 45 days if they want to punish a man. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Under the facts stated in regard to the situation in Washington Parish, La., it was contended that more than 1,000 colored people were denied voting rights. I am not sure if that was correct or not. Perhaps those people should or should not be on the rolls. But assuming the charge was correct, it would be possible for a judge in that case to put a person in jail for {{SIC|4,500|45,000}} days without a jury trial, alleging that there were 1,000 different offenses. Mr. THURMOND. I see no reason why he could not, if he tries the defendant on each separate offense, which I think he would have to do to sentence him for more than 45 days. If he tries the accused for one act of depriving a person of his right to vote, there would be only one act, and 45 days in my opinion would be the limit. But if a judge saw fit to try a man and sentence him to prison for 45 days, he could try him again on another charge with respect to a man who claims his rights were violated in connection with voting and the defendant could be given another 45 days. I do not think there is any limit to that. I think he could keep filing them. Mr. LONG: Is it not conceivable following such a procedure a judge could put a man in jail for his natural lifetime without a jury trial? Suppose he alleges that the defendant prevented 2,000 people from registering. That would be 90,000 days he could put the man in jail without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. While I think theoretically that is possible, I do not think actually it would be practicable. But it is theoretically possible to do that. I wish to read the distinguished Senator what Associate Justice Brennan said: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it.}} What is the Congress doing here if they let a judge try a man for criminal contempt, which is a crime? I quote Associate Justice Brennan further: {{smaller block|One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence—}} In my State they cannot comment on the evidence and I do not believe they can in the State of the Senator from Louisiana, can they? In a few cases I believe they can. Mr. LONG. No; not in a criminal case. Mr. THURMOND. I do not believe they can even instruct the jury except as the parties request instruction. In some States the judge cannot charge the jury at all except where the parties request him to instruct, so jealously is the right of trial by jury regarded, leaving to the 12 fellow countrymen, 12 peers of the defendant, the authority to decide the case. I wish to quote further from Associate Justice Brennan: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies, and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question to my distinguished colleague from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. I regret that because of my ill health, of which the Senator is aware, I was unable to be here. Mr. THURMOND. I am sorry, too. I thought about the distinguished Senator a great deal and inquired about him. Mr. LANGER. I am sure during the night sometime the distinguished Senator from South Carolina discussed how the jury system came into being; is that correct? The divine right of kings principle was set aside and the jury system installed in its place. Mr. THURMOND. That is right. I am going now into the history of the jury system. That is the very thing I am discussing now. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that in the State of South Carolina—and, I might say, it is true in some of the other States—the higher courts have set aside verdicts of guilty because of the presence of prejudiced jurors or jurors who did not tell the truth on their examination, when they were asked if they knew anything about the facts. We have always been extremely jealous under the Constitution to see that every defendant receives a fair and honest trial. I know that there have been such cases in the State of South Carolina as the type to which I have referred. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. I was a trial judge for 8 years, and came into close contact with jurors. I know how jurors feel. I know how the people feel. The citizens of this country believe in the jury system. It is a part of their nature to believe in the jury system. Those who have talked with me do not like the fact that the bill provides for compromising the Constitution in order to get a compromise civil-rights bill. We should not compromise the Constitution. That is exactly what this so-called compromise bill does, on the jury-trial question. Mr. LANGER. I am sure that when the distinguished Senator was a judge, if any efforts were made to influence a jury, either by telephone or letter, if the judge became aware of it, he promptly declared a mistrial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is correct. Any judge would set aside a verdict if a juror were influenced. Judges are human. Some people look upon a Federal judge as sacrosanct, so to speak—clothed with a robe, high, mighty, and arrogant. They are human, and they are subject to the errors of human nature, just as any other citizen is. They should not be entrusted with this great power, involving the liberty of our people, in violation of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that once in a while there is a dishonest judge. Is not that true? Mr. THURMOND. I presume it is. However, I have never heard of any in South Carolina. Mr. LANGER. We had a very dishonest Federal judge in the State of North Dakota at one time. I had personal experience with him. Time and again during my service in the Senate I have charged that judge with being dishonest. He is still alive. I did not rely upon Congressional immunity. I have made that statement often. I have never been sued for it, and I know very well that I never will be. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the distinguished Senator would not want such a judge to try him for criminal contempt, which is a crime. I am certain that the distinguished Senator from North Dakota would want a jury to try him. Is not that correct? Mr. LANGER. That is certainly correct. I believe that in the State of South Carolina, or any other State, the people will insist not only on good, honest judges, but also on seeing to it that the jury system is kept unimpaired. Mr. THURMOND. Some of the proponents of the bill think they are going to punish the South. However, the bill applies to every American. The bill will fly back in the faces of some of its proponents and their friends, and they will be surprised. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to discuss this question with the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. I was discussing the history of the jury system. I continue to read from “History of the Jury System,” in the chapter entitled “Trials and Tribunals Among the Saxons.” {{smaller block|It will be observed that it was the priests who had charge of administering these tests of innocence—termed ''judicia dei''—and they doubtless reaped a rich harvest from the monopoly of this privilege, commensurate with the wealth and the guilt of the accused.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator further yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In view of the fact that I mentioned a dishonest judge, I should like to give an illustration of how a dishonest judge operates. In the first place, when it is desired to obtain a jury which is dishonest, a special assistant United States marshal will be appointed. The marshal will walk into a store, for example, and say, “Mr. Jones, I would like to have you take 100 subscriptions to a certain newspaper.” The man behind the counter might say, “Why should I take a hundred subscriptions?” The marshal may say, “We are fighting the Governor of the State.” If the man takes 100 subscriptions, and pays $100, or $1 apiece for a year, his name goes into the jury box; and if he does not subscribe, his name does not go into the jury box. In the case to which I have reference, the slips which were put into the box were different. The names of those who were prejudiced against a defendant would be written on wide slips. The names of those who were not so prejudiced were written upon narrow slips. A clerk was conniving with the judge. I may say that later the clerk went to the penitentiary. He would feel around until he felt a broad slip, and withdraw that slip. A Federal judge has a vast amount of power. A judge may say, “I am not going to allow any of the defense lawyers to examine any prospective jurors. Let them write out their questions and submit them to me, and I will ask the prospective jurors whether or not they are prejudiced, or what answers they have to the questions.” Two or three days might be consumed in the effort to get a fair jury; but because of the fact that the Federal judge will not allow the lawyers for the defendant to ask any questions, the judge will finally get a jury which has not been thoroughly examined from the viewpoint of the defendant. That is not all. A dishonest judge, by the tone of his voice, can let the jury know what he himself thinks of the case. For example, the defendant may be giving testimony, and if the United States attorney interrupts him the Federal judge may say, “Well, let the defendant tell his story,” with a sneer on his face, for the benefit of the jury. When it comes to his instructions, he may, in a very low tone of voice, give the instructions he is required to give which are favorable to the defendant. Then he raises his voice and makes gestures which let the jury know he does not believe the defendant to be innocent. He tries to impress the jury by his loud tone of voice and the things he says in his instructions, which tend to prejudice the jury. I have seen it happen. I myself was a trial lawyer. I served at one time as attorney general of my State, and later as governor of the State. As I have previously stated, a Federal judge has a vast amount of power. He can name special bailiffs is he decides that the number of bailiffs in the court is not sufficient. He can appoint half a dozen or a dozen more, and have them carry revolvers to impress the rank and file of the jurors with the great importance of the case. A Federal judge can claim that his life is in danger, and he can have Federal troops escort him back and forth between the courthouse and the hotel. A Federal judge can have airplanes flying over the courthouse, to repel the mob, for the purpose of impressing the jury with the gravity of the case which is pending before it. I have gone all through that experience. When I came to the Senate one of the charges brought against me was with respect to the four Federal cases in which I, as governor of the State, was tried. A Federal judge who is dishonest, with all the power he has, need not be afraid of any governor, because he holds the position for life. During the history of the United States there have been only five impeachments of Federal judges. I well remember a case which was brought before I became a Member of the Senate. Senator Josiah Bailey, a very distinguished Senator, said to me in connection with that case, “I voted ‘not guilty’ on all counts except the last one. I voted ‘guilty’ on the last one.” It was the fact that he voted “guilty” on that count which resulted in the impeachment of the judge. We must take into consideration the money that is required, the lawyers who are required, and so forth. The Senate does not like to take up an impeachment case. Yet, that is the only remedy a poor man has in the matter of impeaching a dishonest Federal judge. I am frankly delighted that the distinguished Senator from South Caroline has been going into the history of how the jury trial originated. There was a great battle to obtain the right of trialby jury on behalf of the people of England before they ever achieved their goal. One of the very first of the English juries was sent out by the judge time and time again and asked to bring in a verdict of guilty, and the jury refused to do so. They were out for many hours defying the judge. Finally, the judge said he would put them in jail. One of the greatest calamities that could possibly occur in this country or in any other country would be to have the “divine right of kings” come back and the jury system made inoperative. I wish to thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate. Mr. THURMOND. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota is to be commended for his statement. Mr. President, it is not a question of civil rights. They have hooked to it an unconstitutional provision. It is now a question of whether we shall vote for a bill that violates the Constitution and takes away from citizens the right to a trial by jury. I believe it was at Runnymeade, in 1215, that there were wrenched from King John certain rights for the benefit of the people which were written into a paper known as the Magna Carta. One of the rights wrenched from King John and which the people had cherished so long and which had been denied them was the right of trial by jury. Mr. President, our Declaration of Independence starts out by citing grievances, among which was the fact that in many instances the citizens of the Colonies had been tried without a jury. That was one of the grievances brought up and included in the Declaration of Independence. When our Constitution was written our forefathers had heard their fathers speak of how in generations back the people had suffered persecution. That was why many of them came to these shores, to enjoy liberty and freedom. After studying the governments of the world at that time, our forefathers finally decided on the tripartite system of government, with its three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, which could check on each other. They did not stop with that, Mr. President. The States organized their governments on the same basis, so that what we have is what is known as a compound Republic. We have a division of power between the States and the Federal Government. We have a division of power between the different branches on the national level and on the State level. Our forefathers, when they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787, were determined that one thing would be contained in it would be the right of trial by jury. It is found in article III., section 2, and it provides that the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. It does not make any other exceptions for civil rights or anything else. It provides that all crimes except that of impeachment shall be tried by jury and that the trial shall be held in the State in which the crime was committed. Even after the Constitution was written, three distinguished men attending the Convention would not sign it. They were George Mason, of Virginia, who was the author of the Bill of Rights; John Randolph, of Virginia, another very prominent citizen; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. They refused to sign the Constitution even after it was written. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, would the Senator from South Carolina be willing to yield to me for the purpose of submitting a unanimous-consent request to the Senate to the effect that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears the telegram of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin may be read and the oath be administered by unanimous consent of the Senate, without my friend from South Carolina losing the floor thereby, and that his remarks thereafter shall not count as a second speech against him, and that this interruption be placed in another portion of the {{sc|Record}}? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield under those conditions. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears in the Chamber the clerk may read the telegram from the Governor of Wisconsin and that the Senate give its consent to the oath being administered to the Senator-elect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous-consent request of the Senator from Texas? The Chair thinks it also includes the provision that the Senator from South Carolina [Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}] shall not lose the floor. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. All the conditions enumerated, Mr. President. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, reserving the right to object—and, of course, I shall not object—I should like to be associated with the unanimous-consent request made by the distinguished majority leader. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I make the request on behalf of the minority leader and myself. I wish to make it abundantly clear that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears consent will have already been given to his being sworn in after the telegrams have been read; and that the Senator from South Carolina will still retain the floor and will be protected in his right to the floor and in the fact that he has made only one speech on this subject. Also, Mr. President, I request that the interruption be placed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and the request is agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. I thank the Senator from South Carolina for yielding. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was engaged in colloquy with the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Langer}}] ,at the time when we were interrupted. I should like to continue the colloquy with him. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from North Dakota for his questions and for bringing out the points he did. What I started to say is that when the Constitution Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 for the purpose of writing a constitution, the deputies, as they were called then, were confronted with the very difficult proposition of how the States would have representation. The large States wanted representation in proportion to population; the small States wanted representation according to States, regardless of size. Of course, they reached a compromise, and we have the two bodies of Congress. The Senate has an equal number of Senators from each State, regardless of the size of the State, and the House of Representatives is based on population. That is only one of the many intricate problems which had to be fought and settled by the Convention. It was a very difficult task to bring about the adoption of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question at this point? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. The Senator from North Dakota, as the distinguished Senator from South Carolina knows, is very much interested in the small States. The two Senators from North Dakota are very much interested in the small States. They have been battling and fighting for the rights of the small States. Today there are six States which never have had any Cabinet members. For example, take the State of Florida. It has now for 107 years been a member of this Union. Yet the State of Florida has never had a member of the Cabinet, although the city of New York under Franklin Roosevelt at one time had six from the State of New York. Take the State of Nevada. Nevada had an Ambassador. The State of South Dakota has never had one. Montana never has had one. Idaho never has had one. The Senator from North Dakota finally succeeded in getting one for North Dakota, the first one after 62 years of statehood. It seems to me that the Senators from these States and from the States of smaller population a long time ago ought to have gotten together and said to the State Department, “We demand that citizens of the States of lesser population also have some appointments as ambassadors, or occasionally have a man appointed to the Cabinet of the President of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree with the Senator, and what I said was by way of illustration. Mr. LANGER. Yes. Mr. THURMOND. The point I started to make was this: There were so many problems confronting the deputies in Philadelphia that they had a very hard time drafting a constitution, and even after it was drafted, it would not have been ratified if they had not promised the leading political leaders of the day that there would be a Bill of Rights. That is the only way they were able to have the Constitution adopted; and even then, George Mason, of Virginia; John Hancock, of Massachusetts; Elbridge Gary, of Massachusetts, refused to sign it. They did not want to take for granted any question about the rights to which the people were entitled, and one of the precious rights in which they were most interested was the right of trial by jury. The right of trial by jury was not only written in article III., section 2 of the Constitution, but in several places in the Bill of Rights. The right of trial by jury has been handed down to us as part of our Government as a great heritage, and we do not want to run the risk of losing that precious right. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true at the present time in one foreign country after another, to whom we have been sending foreign aid and with whom we fought in World War II., later in the Korean war—one of the very things we are advocating in these countries are reforms which will provide trial by jury. Is that not correct? Mr. THURMOND. I understand we have been advocating that other countries, in which we have been trying to help the people to set up democratic governments, accord the right of trial by jury. It is going to look a little inconsistent to those people to whom we have held out trial by jury as the ideal, when we pass a bill which proposes to take away trial by jury. Some persons do not feel this is important; some of them say, “Well it is a compromise. The House held to a certain idea and the Senate another; and it is a matter of getting together as best they could.” But this is a vital question. There is nothing more important, no right more important than that of trial by jury. Mr. LANGER. I assume the Senator means a fair trial, an honest trial. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. The experience the Senator has had as judge ably demonstrated that, did it not? Mr. THURMOND. My experience has been that a jury will come nearer rendering a fair verdict than a judge will, because there are 12 men on the jury—and Mr. Justice Brennan concurs in this—who hear the evidence and reach a conclusion. It is a most important matter; yet here in this so-called civil rights bill— Madam President, may we have order, please? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. The effect of the so-called civil-rights bill is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution says, in article III., section 2, that “the trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment; shall be by jury,” and then in the sixth amendment to the Constitution the statement is made again. It says, “In all”—it does not say in some—it does not say in all but civil rights; it makes no exception. It says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses.}} And so forth. instead of that, this civil-rights bill now includes an amendment—which has been added by the House of Representatives—which gives the judge the power to make the decision, without a trial by jury, unless the fine exceeds a certain amount of money or unless the period of incarceration exceeds a certain number of days. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair) Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true that one of the arguments used when the right of women’s suffrage was asked for, was that women should have the right to sit on juries? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that women be allowed to sit on the juries. I think it is very wholesome to have that allowed. Such a law has not yet been passed in South Carolina, but I think it will be; in my opinion, that time will come. Mr. LANGER. We who live in North Dakota have had such a law for many years, and it works very satisfactorily. Mr. THURMOND. I so understand. In some States, women are allowed to serve on juries, if they wish, but they are not forced to do so. In other States, women must serve on juries, if called. In other States, women do not have to serve at all on juries. Madam President, the bill of rights—and the right of trial by jury is the heart of the bill of rights—is the most precious document of the American people. Madam President, let me say to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota that when the Declaration of Independence was written, it included a very definite reference to trial by jury. I wish to read part of the Declaration of Independence, in order to remind the distinguished Senator from North Dakota of that fact. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, I shall be very glad to have the Senator from South Carolina do so. Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I read now from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.}} {{smaller block|We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.}} {{smaller block|He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.}} {{smaller block|He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.}} {{smaller block|He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.}} {{smaller block|He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.}} {{smaller block|He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.}} A little later in the Declaration of Independence, we find the following— Mr. LANGER. Madam President, it is very interesting to hear the Declaration of Independence read. Mr. THURMOND. It is, indeed. I read further from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.}} {{smaller block|He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.}} {{smaller block|He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.}} {{smaller block|He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.}} {{smaller block|He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.}} {{smaller block|He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.}} {{smaller block|He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.}} {{smaller block|He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:}} {{smaller block|For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:}} {{smaller block|For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:}} {{smaller block|For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:}} {{smaller block|For imposing taxes on us without our consent:}} {{smaller block|For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.}} That was one of the cardinal points which was set forth in the Declaration of Independence, namely, that the King of England had deprived the colonists “in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}, in accordance with the previous unanimous-consent agreement, yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas, for the purpose of having the Senator-elect from Wisconsin take the oath of office. By agreement, the proceedings incident thereto appear in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) The VICE PRESIDENT. Pursuant to the order, the Chair recognizes the Senator from South Carolina. The Senate will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, a good many Senators were not here when I presented my views earlier during this debate, and I shall take a few minutes now to express a few points which I should like to have them hear. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution, because that would be the result, insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common law cases. As I have stated earlier today, I cited a decision during this debate to show that criminal contempt is a crime. Since criminal contempt is a crime, a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no way, under the Constitution, by which a man charged with a crime can be denied a trial by jury. Since the decision I have cited shows that criminal contempt is a crime, it simply follows that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. These guaranties to which I referred, in article III., section 2, of the Constitution, and in the fifth and seventh amendments, were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historical document their complaints against the denial of the right to trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. I am going to read the section of the Declaration of Independence in which our forefathers with courage and stamina severed their relations with the mother country, Great Britain, and established their own government. A list of grievances against the King was set forth in that document and among those grievances there was one pertaining to trial by jury. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|Depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.}} In other words, those who signed the Declaration of Independence gave as one of the reasons for declaring their independence and for cutting loose from the King the fact that they had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. Therefore we can see with that incentive in mind in writing the Declaration of Independence why there was such a strong urge in writing the Constitution to include in it a provision for trial by jury, and then later in writing the Bill of Rights, to provide a trial by jury without the exceptions which are contained in this so-called compromise that came from the House of Representatives. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and one-time Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. The Bill of Rights, he declared— {{smaller block|denies the power of any Government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.}} Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional Government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic laws, if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes; in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.}} The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “the trial of all crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days’ imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. In this day and time I wonder, sometimes, if there is not too much compromise. It does my heart good to see a man with strong convictions, a man who believes in something, a man who stands for something and who is not willing to compromise on everything when there is a vital principle at stake. Mr. President, I realize that legislation to a large extent is compromise. That is perfectly legitimate when it does not involve the Constitution. But when it involves the Constitution, there should be no compromise. There should have been no compromise on this bill which comes back to the Senate from the House. There can be no compromise with reference to the manner in which the bill was amended. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of Government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was approved by the Senate. The enactment in the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, was a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope that a majority of this Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the bloc voting of the pivotal States. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that— {{smaller block|Behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about.}} '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', 12 members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies visit the Senate, and Mr. Thurmond’s is interrupted, so as to introduce the deputies appropriately. At the time in the ''Record'', several other matters are read into the ''Record'', namely, a “Message from the House,” the “House Bills and Joint Resolutions Referred,” and the “House Concurrent Resolution Referred.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, to explain his point Mr. Alsop cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the “Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States,” Mr. Alsop stated that it is “almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election.” In other words, Mr. Alsop says that the whole civil-rights fight is purely political, and the effect of it is that both parties are vying to get the Negro vote in the doubtful States. To explain his point he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in those States. Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any Presidential candidate could lose those three States and win the election. I shall not take any more further time to present the analysis he made, but he went into considerable detail. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today, but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of this bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether or not to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge so long as he does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed for denying trial by jury. The proponents of this bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected by it. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When this bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted that great legal mind of the 18th century of England, Blackstone, because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence. I have also quoted heretofore and cited a case which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That is a decision I have heretofore reviewed. I might refer to it again for the benefit of any who missed it, because that is an important point. I do not believe that some of the lawyers in the Congress have realized that criminal contempt is a crime. ''Bessett'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' (194 U. S. 324) says a contempt proceeding is criminal in its nature. ''Ex parte'' Grossman (267 U. S. 87) says a criminal contempt committed by disobedience of an injunction issued by the district court to abate a nuisance in pursuance of the prohibition law is an offense against the United States, and within the pardoning powers of the President under article II. of the Constitution. The ''Conkey'' case I just referred to, volume 194 United States Reports, page 324, defines civil and criminal contempt, pointing out that the latter, criminal contempt, is criminal and punitive in its nature, and the Government, the courts, and the people are interested in their prosecution. If criminal contempt is a crime, as the United States Supreme Court decision holds it is, then under the Constitution of the United States a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury. There is no ifs, ands, and buts about it. There can be no exceptions. Article III., section 2 of the Constitution provides: {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights, it is provided: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} Mr. President, when this bill was previously debated in the Senate, I cited Blackstone as an authority, and I may cite him again today, but I want to refer to a portion of this bill, to show how it violates the Constitution on the jury trial question. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to my distinguished friend for a question. Mr. LANGER. Could the Senator from South Carolina tell us how it happened that the Federal judges encroached upon the rights of defendants? How did they come to hold that contempt of court was not a crime? Mr. THURMOND. There is a long story about contempt and how it arrived at where it is now. I might say, in brief, and that is what my distinguished friend is interested in, that under the present law a man charged with criminal contempt gets a jury trial unless the Government is a party to the suit, and in labor disputes defendants get a jury trial even if the Government is a party to the suit. Under this so-called compromise which the House sent to the Senate, that will not be the case unless a judge in his discretion sees fit to give the defendant a jury trial, or the judge tries him and decides he wants to punish him to a greater extent than a $300 fine or a 45 days’ prison sentence, in which event he would then have a jury trial. Mr. President, under the version of the bill which was passed by the House of Representatives, the Attorney General could substitute the government for a private party, and thereby could deprive an individual of a jury trial. But the Senate amended the bill as passed by the House of Representatives; and the Senate sent the bill, as thus amended, back to the House of Representatives. The Senate, by means of one of its amendments, drew a distinction and delineated between civil contempt and criminal contempt. The amendment provided that if the purpose of the action the judge wished to obtain was compliance with his order, in the case of something to be done in the future, failure to comply with the order would constitute civil contempt; but if the purpose was to punish for something done in the past, failure to comply with the judge’s order would constitute criminal contempt. The Senate amended the bill, as I have stated, and returned the bill, as thus amended, to the House of Representatives. Then the House of Representatives added the amendment which I believe violates the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. It has been a pleasure, I assure the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. Mr. President, because of the authoritative place that Blackstone holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him at this time. Every lawyer respects Mr. Blackstone. He said: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law.}} That is what Blackstone said about trial by jury—that it is “the glory of the English law.” Blackstone further said: {{smaller block|And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under Providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} In other words, Rome, Sparta, and Carthage did not have trial by jury when their people lost their liberties. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen; chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth and the surest guardians of public justice, For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, that is what Mr. Blackstone said. No brighter legal mind ever shone in the brilliant galaxy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied to another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and he made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. * * * One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions.}} Mr. President, in my State the judge charges the jury as to the law, but he cannot comment on the facts. In some States a judge is not even permitted to charge the jury, unless the parties to the suit request it. I read further from the address by Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials, because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, those are the words of Associate Justice Brennan, in speaking about jury trials. I do not know how he could have stated the matter in much stronger terms. Mr. President, that statement by Associate Justice Brennan is most significant, to me, in that it comes from a member of the present Supreme Court of the United States. I shall not predict what the Court may do when the question of the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury, as embodied in the so-called compromise, is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill to be unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in the case of ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said—and this is the Supreme Court of the United States speaking: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Kennedy}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. If the Congress can say to the people of the United States that a Federal judge has absolute power to forbid a jury trial if the sentence is not more than 45 days in jail or a fine of not more than $300, and if such a law is held constitutional, what would there be to stop a future Congress from changing the amounts to 10 times those—in other words, let us say, to 450 days in jail and a fine of $3,000, or even more? As I see it, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is fighting for a principle. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. The principle—not the exact amount of the punishment or the exact amount of the fine—is the important consideration in this case. Mr. LANGER. In other words, the Senator from South Carolina is chiefly concerned with the principle, rather than with the exact amount of the punishment—whether it be 45 days in jail or a fine of $300, or whether it be more than that; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. Certainly it is a fact that the Congress should not give to any Federal judge the power to levy fines of $300 or to imprison for 45 days, without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Congress does not have power to do it if it wants to. Mr. LANGER. In my opinion, you certainly quoted excellent authority to sustain that view. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the Constitution provided that a Federal judge could give to a defendant a jury trial if he wanted to do so, or to refuse it if he wanted to do that, then there would be authority for what the House sent to the Senate. If the Constitution provided that in cases of criminal contempt defendants would be excepted from the jury. trial, the House would have been legally justified in passing what they did. But there is no exception to the right of jury trial in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution will first have to be amended in order that this so-called compromise bill, which has passed the House and is before the Senate, can be upheld. I cannot say what the Supreme Court will do, no one can say, but I do not see how they could make any other holding in view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is certainly what may be expected from the Court, in view of the statement I just quoted from Justice Brennan, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State, and I spoke on them during the night, starting with Alabama, and covered every State, including Wyoming. I cited the law and the section of the code, including North Dakota and all the States. They all have laws to protect the right to vote. In a few minutes, I am going to cite a Federal section to show that there is a Federal law already on the subject; so, if a Federal law were desired on the subject, we already have one. I think it is a matter that ought to be left to the States, but if people disagree about that, and if it is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, we already have a statute on the subject. But this bill is a violation of the Constitution on the right to a jury trial question, regardless. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Would the Senator be kind enough to read the statutes in South Carolina and Mississippi, if he has them? Mr. THURMOND. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. I shall discuss them in a few minutes. I do not know of a single case having arisen in South Carolina in which a potential voter has charged that he has been deprived of his right to vote. Had such an instance occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. When I was Governor of South Carolina, on May 1, 1947, I recommended to the State legislature that it repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature took favorable action and submitted the question to a vote of the people at the next general election, which was in November 1948. The people voted favorably on the amendment, and then in January 1949, or early in 1949, the legislature ratified the action of the people. Our poll tax was eliminated as a prerequisite to voting. So we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. We have a school tax, but no one has to pay to vote. Moreover, registration is necessary only once every 10 years. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina—if proof is desired—can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia (S. C.) Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that: “Estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution which protect a citizen’s tight to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9. SUFFRAGE}}}} {{smaller block|The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10.

I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the {{sc|Record}} to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|SOUTH CAROLINA CODE—TITLE 23}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–73. APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF REGISTRATION}}}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration.

The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–75.

Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make.}} I do not know of any other State which gives this protection. {{smaller block|If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} The supreme court will be called together to hear one man’s case on appeal. What more can we do than that? We have, first, the board of registration; next the court of common pleas, and then the supreme court. The supreme court will hold an extra session, if necessary, to hear the appeal, and even if there is only one man who feels that he has been disenfranchised, or disqualified, for any reason, to receive a registration certificate. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–100.

He can go to the State capital, and obtain a certificate from the secretary of state. That is the protection we give. We have some others. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–349.

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. A little while ago the distinguished Senator said that he had before him the election laws of all 48 States. Mr. THURMOND. That is true. Mr. LANGER. Are not the laws of South Carolina more liberal than those of other States? Mr. THURMOND. I think they are more liberal with respect to voting. I think we have gone further than have most of the other States. We repealed the poll-tax requirement. We have given every opportunity to everyone to vote. I do not know of anyone in my State today who is denied the right to vote if he wishes to vote. Our requirements are not too severe. The only requirement is that the voter must be able to read or write the Constitution. The Constitution was used in order to have reference to some document. Anyone who can read and write can read the Constitution as well as he can read anything else. Or if he cannot do that, he must own $300 worth of property. If he meets either requirement, he can vote. Mr. LANGER. The Senator stated that there was a Federal law in this connection. Mr. THURMOND. Yes. Mr. LANGER. May we have the Federal statute read? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has just asked me about the Federal law on the books with regard to voting. I should like to have the Senator from North Dakota and other Senators hear this. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Case}}] and other Senators to listen to the statute I am about to read. Last night I made the point that every State in the Union has laws on this subject. Of course, if the Senator from South Dakota has already made up his mind, I do not wish to take his time. Will he give me his attention for just a moment? Mr. CASE of South Dakota. The Senator from South Dakota is listening. Mr. THURMOND. I do not wish to take the Senator’s time if his mind is made up. But if his mind is open, I want him to hear this. I made the statement last night that every State in the Nation has statutes to protect the right to vote. I called upon the Library of Congress to compile those statutes, and I read them into the {{sc|Record}}. They will be found in my speech. Starting with Alabama and going through Wyoming, every State has laws protecting the right to vote. But some people say that we need Federal laws. I do not believe many people know that we have Federal statutes on the subject. For some reason or other they must have overlooked them. I wish to read the Federal law at this time to show that there is a Federal law on the statute books. It is designated as section 594 of chapter 29, title 18, of Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. It reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|594. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS}}}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the Office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} If anyone intimidates, threatens, or coerces another with respect to voting, or with respect to how he wishes to vote, or for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote, or to vote for whomever he chooses, there is a Federal statute under which a Federal judge can send him to jail for 1 year, or fine him $1,000. There is already a Federal statute on the subject. So why pass the bill coming from the House, or any other bill to provide the right to vote? The statute which I have just read is a criminal statute. It enables the Federal Government, if it wishes to protect the right to vote, to protect any man’s right to vote, because it can put a man in jail for as long as 1 year, or fine him $1,000 if he interferes with the right of anyone to vote. The only difference is that this is a criminal statute, and if a man were prosecuted under this statute he would get a jury trial. If we believe in the Constitution and in jury trials, we want to preserve that right anyway. The Constitution is clear on the question of jury trials. Article III., section 2, is specific on it. The Bill of Rights contains several references to it. The sixth amendment, in the Bill of Rights, is directly to the point. I have before me a decision—I do not know whether the Senator heard it or not—which upholds the contention that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man is entitled to a trial by jury under the Constitution of the United States if he is charged with criminal contempt. If there have been complaints to the Federal Government in any State of the Nation about people not being allowed to vote, why has not the Justice Department taken action under the statute to which I have just referred, and put offenders behind bars or fined them if they interfered with the right of other people to vote? The Federal Government has the power to do it. It is not necessary for it to have more power. The accused should have a jury trial. This is a free country. The mere fact that a jury returns a verdict which one of the parties may not like is no excuse for abolishing the jury trial. Either the Federal Government is not doing its duty in protecting people who have complained to it that they could not vote for one reason or another, or that voting has been interfered with for one reason or another, and has not given the proper protection to those people who complained to it, or there have been no complaints. If there have been any complaints, it was the duty of the Department of Justice to take action, and they could take action under the statute I have cited. There is no use beating about the bush and saying there is a duty to pass a right to vote bill. There is such a law on the statute books. Every State in the Union has such a law. The United States Code contains a provision protecting the right to vote. Let the Attorney General enforce this statute I have cited. If he has received any complaint from South Carolina about any man not voting, or has received a complaint from any other State, it is his duty to take action under the statute, and see that the one who interferes is punished. He can be put in jail for a year or fined $1,000. Mr. President, I am merely desiring to call this to the attention of Senators who are in the Chamber at this time, because so many of them do not seem to understand that we now have a Federal law on the books, section 594, which provides for the protection of voting rights. I do not know how it could be made any stronger. The Senator from North Dakota was asking about the South Carolina statute. I read from the statutes: {{smaller block|After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–656.

Does not the Senator from North Dakota think those provisions add to the protection of voters? Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator be kind enough to repeat the Federal statute? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am particularly interested in where the Federal statute states that one can be both fined and imprisoned. Mr. THURMOND. It says “or both.” {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} But such person can get a jury trial, though. In other words, that is just another crime. It is like when a man is charged with murder or any other crime. He will have a jury trial. If he is found guilty, then the judge can sentence him to $1,000 or 1 year in prison, or both. That is a strong statute. Mr. LANGER. I want to thank the distinguished Senator for bringing that to the attention of the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is entirely welcome. I think it is a statute that a good many people may have overlooked. There has been so much talk about the right to vote and people not having the right to vote protected until I thought the Senate and the people of the Nation ought to know that not only every State has laws protecting the right to vote, but the Federal Government also has on the statute books a statute protecting the right to vote. As I stated, that is section 594, of chapter 29, title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be glad to yield to my distinguished friend. Mr. LANGER. For a question? Mr. THURMOND. For a question. Mr. LANGER. Have there been any decisions by the South Carolina Supreme Court on any of the statutes which the distinguished Senator has read? Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall offhand that any cases have gone to the supreme court. In our State everybody registers and votes who wants to, and I guess that is probably the reason there have been no cases taken to the supreme court. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, prove there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right to vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an {{SIC|unsual|unusual}} grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and non-political, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I should like to have the Senator hear this. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people, to involve neighbor against neighbor. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others, to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make the testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate, before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A civil-rights division in the Justice Department is not needed, because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed; in fact, he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved and since there is no indication that conditions will change—unless the Attorney General and the Civil-Rights Commission create trouble—there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of a Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Part III. of the bill, as originally written—which was completely obnoxious—was removed. I have several times stated my views on part IV. I object to its grant of dictatorial power to the Attorney General. The Congress should never agree to place such authority in the hands of any one official of the Government. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which reads as follows: {{smaller block|(d) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. As I understand, in the case of the existing section 594, during all these years the Attorney General of the United States has had the power to enforce that section, and he has had the assistance of the United States attorneys in every State of the Union, and they have had the help of their assistants; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. In some of the States there are eastern districts, northern districts, southern districts, and western districts—for instance, as in the case of New York; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That also is correct. Mr. LANGER. And each of those districts has United States attorneys and assistant United States attorneys and United States marshals; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. So all the necessary machinery for the enforcement of section 594, to protect the voting right of any citizen of the United States who may have had his voting right denied, has been in existence all during this period of time; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. Can the distinguished Senator from South Carolina name a single case in which the Attorney General of the United States has tried to enforce any of these statutes? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator, I will say that I do not know about the situation in other States; but as for the situation in my own State, I have not heard of such a case. However, I can see why that would be; I can understand why probably there would not be any such cases in South Carolina. That is because anyone in South Carolina who wishes to register to vote, has no trouble doing so. But I have not heard that any cases of this sort have been brought in other States. Such cases may have been brought in other States, but I have not heard of any. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I wish to ask what additional power the Attorney General will have, if a new Assistant Attorney General is appointed, inasmuch as the Attorney General already has the help of other Assistant Attorneys General and the help of United States attorneys, whose appointments have to be approved by the Senate; they cannot be appointed until the Congress has consented to the appointments. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question asked by the Senator from North Dakota, I would say that I see no need for an additional Assistant Attorney General—who, if appointed, would receive a large salary. I see no need for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, because the Department of Justice already has a civil-rights section; and there has been no evidence of any need for a big division, similar to the one now proposed to be created. I think the establishment of such a division would simply mean the payment of more salaries and a larger Federal payroll and more taxes on the backs of the American people. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In other words, there has never been a time when, under present law, the Department of Justice could not have presented a case of that sort before a grand jury, if the Department had wished to do so; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. If there had been any complaint in either North Dakota or South Carolina, let us say, to the effect that someone had not been able to vote, although he was eligible to vote, all the Department of Justice would have had to do would have been to have the United States attorneys in those States look into the matter and take whatever action would have been appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his questions. Mr. President, a moment ago I read the provisions of section 131(d). It simply means that the district courts can, under that provision, bypass the State procedures, the administrative remedies under the State laws, and can take action, and thus can cause much tension, embarrassment, and trouble although it is not necessary to do so. If anyone cannot obtain justice through the administrative remedies of his State, then of course he will be able to go to the district attorneys, and they can prosecute under the Federal statute I have just read. But the use of the existing remedies under the State laws should first be required—which is the usual procedure one would follow. No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States should not be exhausted prior to having Federal district courts take jurisdiction in cases of election-law violations. In other words, I believe in letting the States run their business, if they will. A Federal statute already is in existence; and if there is need to use it, it can be used. But why not let the States handle the matter of voting and the other matters which are reserved to them under the Constitution? Let the States handle them. Then, if the States fail to do so or if they fall down in the performance of their duty, section 594 is in existence, and it can be used as a hammer with which they can be clubbed to death, if need be. The present proposal could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority, and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 spoke strongly on behalf of the Federal courts, during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. That is the point I made just a few minutes ago. I shall not go into further details with reference to the provisions of this part of the bill, but I am just as strongly opposed to it as I was when it was first introduced. I shall continue to oppose such grants of power to the Attorney General or to any other official. Mr. President, I based my opposition to H. R. 6127 throughout its consideration in the Senate on three principal points. I am convinced the bill is unconstitutional in several respects which I have cited. I know that it is unnecessary because the right to vote is fully protected in every State and under the laws of the United States where applicable. Finally, I know that the enactment of such legislation is extremely unwise. It is unwise because the sure result of passing this bill would be to destroy a great deal of the good feeling existing between the white and the Negro races, not only in the South but in every community where a substantial number of Negroes live. Nothing would be gained, but much would be lost. The Civil Rights Commission, by using its powers to attempt to force integration of the races, is bound to create suspicion and tension between the races to an even greater degree than the suspicion and tension which was created by the 1954 Supreme Court decision in the school segregation cases. Unbiased persons who are familiar with the segregation problem, and who observed the detrimental result of the Supreme Court decision, know that a traveling investigation commission and a meddling Attorney General could bring about chaos in racial relations. The chaos would not be confined to the South because the provisions of this bill will apply to every citizen in every State. However, the Attorney General, in exercising the discretion granted him, along with the extraordinary powers also granted him, must be expected to confine his investigations and his court actions to the States of the South. The South has often been derided and condemned on charges of sectionalism, but if the advocates of this legislation believe they will create greater unity instead of greater division in this country by the enactment of this bill, they are entirely mistaken. George Washington in his Farewell Address used his strongest language against those who would divide our country and urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern, Atlantic, and western—whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} H. R. 6127 is a blueprint for suspicion, confusion, and disunity. The laws of the Nation are dependent upon the customs and traditions of the people. Unless law is based upon the will of the people, it will not meet with acceptance. Government in this country derives no power except the power coming from the people. Laws which are not based on the Constitution, which is the basic statement of the will of the people, cannot be justified on any ground. Mr. President, when there is so much evidence that this bill is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unwise, it should never be approved. Force may subjugate the human body, but force by itself can never change the human mind. Laws, like leaders, must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. H. R. 6127 fails to measure up by any standard. It should be rejected. I appeal to every Member of this body who believes in constitutional government and the sovereignty of the people to vote against this bill. Mr. President, this bill, as I have stated before, has been widely called a right-to-vote bill. That is a completely misleading term. The bill, as I have stated, in my opinion, is unnecessary, because we have laws in every State to protect the right to vote. We have laws by the Federal Government to protect the right to vote. In the sections I have cited, a man can be punished severely for any interference with the right to vote. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}} yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas and other Senators, who requested the transaction of certain business, all of which appears in the {{sc|Record}} following Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, we have the finest Nation in the world. We have the finest Government in the world. In 1787 our forefathers met in Philadelphia and wrote a document called the Constitution. It was simply a compact between the States. Our forefathers came to this country to get away from tyranny. They had been punished many times without juries. They had been denied the right to worship as they pleased. They have been denied the right of freedom of speech. They had been denied the right of assemblage. They had been denied the right to petition the government, and they had been denied many other rights which we take as a commonplace in this country. They came here to enjoy the benefits of the Government they would establish to provide them those rights. After the States operating as colonies for a while felt the need of a central government for purposes of national defense, for purposes of commerce, for purposes of postal service, trade, and other reasons, they decided to form a union. They met in Philadelphia in 1787, and with deputies from all the 13 States attending that conferential meeting, all except Rhode Island—at that time Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals and ignored the whole proceeding—all with the exception of that one State, had deputies at the Constitutional Convention. They wrote a document to delegate certain of their powers—there were States before there was a Federal union, of course—to the Federal Government for the purpose of forming a union and a central government which could do certain things for the States better than they themselves could do them. At that convention there was a very difficult situation. The delegates had to start from scratch, so to speak, to write the basic law for a new nation. Much discussion and debate occurred there, but after working together for several months in Philadelphia they finally arrived at a document, or a compact, which was signed by the representatives of the States, delegating certain powers to the Central Government. Three of the delegates attending the convention were not pleased, and did not sign it. I believe I stated this morning who they were. They were George Mason, of Virginia; John Randolph, of Virginia; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. The other delegates signed their names, except one, who left, but had his friend sign it. The document was then presented to the States for ratification. Within due time ratification was had, but there was considerable opposition at the convention, and when the question of ratification arose, the main objection which was raised was that there was not spelled out in the Constitution a bill of rights. Some of the most powerful leaders in the States opposed ratification for that reason. Those who did not sign in Philadelphia opposed it chiefly, I understand, for that reason. The Bill of Rights is a document which we cherish. The Bill of Rights is the finest civil-rights bill in the world. The Bill of Rights is a genuine civil-rights bill. That document provides us with the fundamental civil rights which we enjoy in this country today. One of the bases of the Bill of Rights—and I like to call it the heart of the Bill of Rights—is the right of trial by jury. In the Bill of Rights, the sixth amendment is a trial-by-jury amendment. It provides specifically that any person charged with a crime shall be tried by a jury. I have previously brought out today that criminal contempt is a crime, and therefore, since it is a crime, a person charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. The bill which passed the House is a compromise, as most legislation is. Some people may have felt that that was the best the House and Senate could do, because the conferees got together and reconciled the differences between the two Houses. Ordinarily that principle would be sound in connection with legislation, but it is not sound here, because the effect of the so-called compromise would be to violate the Constitution of the United States. If the so-called compromise had provided that a judge, in his discretion, could try a man for criminal contempt, I would have opposed it just as much if no punishment whatever were involved, because the Constitution says that a man is entitled to a trial by jury when he is prosecuted for a crime. There is no discretion in the Constitution. There is no ''proviso'' in the Constitution. There is no exception in the Constitution. The Constitution is perfectly clear on that point. If the punishment provided in the bill in the House had called for 1 day’s imprisonment, or a fine of $1, I would be just as bitterly opposed to it. The Constitution of the United States provides that if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to a jury trial. Under the decision which I have cited here twice today, I believe, holding that criminal contempt is a crime, it is clear that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I do not believe that the compromise amendment is valid. I do not think it is constitutional. The amendment of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] delineated and defined civil contempt and criminal contempt, and provided that civil contempt proceedings were for the purpose of bringing about compliance, in which case the order would be issued prior to the act, and that criminal contempt proceedings were to punish, in which case the order would be issued after the act. If the House had accepted it, the American people would be guaranteed trial by jury in the event of a charge of criminal contempt, which is a crime. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield to me for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to ask the Senator if I understood him correctly to say that in his opinion the so-called jury-trial provision of the bill which has been returned to us by the House is invalid and unconstitutional? Mr. THURMOND. That is my opinion. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to say to the Senator from South Carolina that I completely agree with that opinion. It is impossible to govern the right of trial by jury by the discretion of the judge, according to the penalty he conceives he intends to inflict. I should like to ask the Senator another question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the distinguished Senator. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he agrees with me that the question of jury trial should be reexamined as soon as conveniently possible, and that I would be doing a wise thing if, when the new session of Congress assembles, I should introduce a repetition of the general jury-trial amendment, firm in the belief that the advocates of civil rights, upon examination of the pretended amendment which has come to us from the House, will discover that they have bought a pigeon instead of a swallow. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question, I will say that I agree with him that the bill should be reexamined; but I think the reexamination should take place before Congress passes the bill, and not wait until next January. Mr. O’MAHONEY. If the Senator will permit me to make this comment—will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND: I will yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I shall frame it in the form of a question. Does not the Senator agree that we are all weary and worn down; that most of us are almost as tired as is the Senator himself; and that perhaps when we return in January in the full vigor of our bodies and minds we shall be able to do a better job than we can do at this session of the Congress? I am going to introduce a jury-trial amendment in the next session in the firm belief that this jury-trial amendment accomplishes nothing; that it does not at all help the advocates of civil rights. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question I will say that I have been on my feet for the past 17 hours, and I still feel pretty good. But I agree that it has been a long, tough session. But even though it has been a long, tough session, I do not think we ought to quit now and pass a bill that the Senator and I both feel is unconstitutional. I think we should refer it to the committee, which I tried to do the other night, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. But I think this bill should not be passed at this session. I believe the Senator would prefer that it not be passed; but if it is passed, of course I should be delighted to have the Senator offer an amendment to correct the unconstitutional portion of it when we return in January. But I really do not see why we should have to pass an unconstitutional piece of legislation if we can avoid it. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for another question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. This question is a little different from the one I asked before. I am wondering if the Senator from South Carolina would cooperate with me in enabling me to pass a bill which does not involve any constitutional question. The Senate passed the bill without any opposition at all, and the House has returned it to the Senate with an amendment. I should like to move that the House amendment be concurred in by the Senate, and thus get the bill disposed of. Mr. THURMOND. If the Senator will ask unanimous consent for me to yield to him on condition that I can retain the floor, and, further, that I shall not be charged with a second speech when I resume the discussion of the present subject— The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Wyoming ask unanimous consent based on those conditions? Mr. O’MAHONEY. I do, Mr. President. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator from Wyoming this question: This is not a civil-rights bill, as I understand, is it? Mr. O’MAHONEY. No; it is not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Wyoming? The Chair hears none. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Mr. O’Mahoney, the “Approval of Contract with the Casper–Alcova Irrigation District, Wyoming,” is dealt with, as is a “Message from the House” and the “Enrolled Bills and Joint Resolution Signed.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina may proceed. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was speaking a few moments ago about the States and the Federal Government. I should like to remind the people of this country that we had States before we had a union, and that the only power the Federal Government had and the only power the Union had was the power delegated by the States in Philadelphia in 1787 and in the amendments to the Constitution since that time. All other powers which have not been delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States or to the people. I think the bill which is under consideration is unconstitutional. I think it is invalid. I think we are doing a useless thing. The proponents of the bill who feel that they are helping people, in my judgment, are going to find that there is just a lot of lost motion involved, because I do not believe the Supreme Court will hold this bill constitutional. I do not see how it could hold it constitutional. This compromise bill which came from the House leaves it entirely up to a Federal judge to say whether or not he is going to give a man a jury trial. That is not what our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. This bill provides that a judge shall decide whether he will grant a jury trial. Suppose he decides he will not grant a jury trial and then tries the defendant. Suppose he decides that the man ought to be imprisoned for more than 45 days or should pay a fine of more than $300. Then the case must be tried all over again. That is another reason why I think the bill is unconstitutional. When we once try a man we put him in double jeopardy by trying him again. So I think we are doing a useless thing here to pass a bill to provide that a judge can try a man and then, if he imposes above a certain sentence, the man can ask for a jury trial and then a jury can try the man. He would be tried twice. That is not only unconstitutional, it is also unfair, because if a judge tries the man himself and fines him more than $300 or sentence him to be imprisoned more than 45 days, then there is a trial ''de novo'', as they call it. But the judge’s finding of guilt is bound to influence the jury when the jury tries him a second time. It is my opinion that the man can plead double jeopardy. The distinguished Presiding Officer was a distinguished judge in Texas. Any lawyer knows that we cannot try a man more than once for the same offense. The bill coming from the House would allow the man to be tried twice. Mr. President, I want the American people to know what they are getting in this bill. They are getting a bill under which a judge can try a man and a jury can then try the same man. It is unconstitutional, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think it is extremely unfair, because the judge has already expressed his opinion, and if he is the judge who tries the case a second time he would be bound to show his feelings during the trial. Even if he did not show his feelings during the trial, in my opinion, his feelings would enter into the sentence after the trial. Mr. President, there are many things in this bill. I am not against civil rights, and I am not against voting. As I have said, the finest civil rights are those in the Bill of Rights. I am for genuine civil rights, not this so-called political civil rights. Both national parties that are pushing civil rights bills, this right to vote and other bills, are not doing it because they love the Negro. The southern white man does more for the Negro than any other man in any part of the country. This bill is motivated purely by politics. It is a political bill. We might as well face the facts as they are. Both parties are trying to play to get the Negro vote, and, in some States, if the Negroes vote as a bloc, which they should not do, they are herded to the polls like sheep and voted. If they vote as individual citizens, which they should, this would not occur. But for some reason, both parties think that they are going to vote as a bloc. I do not know how a few leaders do it, or just how it is done. But it is unfortunate, and it is unfair to the Negro, because it takes him out of the category of an individual. It takes away his dignity. It takes away his sanctity as an individual, in which he can take pride in himself, his accomplishments and his race and not be led around like a bull with a ring in his nose. But that is the feeling of both parties in this country. They think they can vote the Negroes in a bloc, and they are making this play on these civil rights bills, so-called. They are not civil rights bills. They are so-called civil rights bills. The politicians are pushing these so-called civil rights bills to make a play and try to get the vote of the Negroes in certain doubtful States. I have some good friends who are Negroes. I have helped many of them. I have represented them in lawsuits. I have loaned them money. I value the friendship of many Negroes, and I hate to see them treated like they are being treated. I hope that their real leaders, their genuine leaders, who are sincerely interested in them, will wake up some day and inform the members of their race just what is going on. Mr. President, there is no need in the world to pass this bill. In the wee hours last night, when most Senators were sleeping, I was here talking, and after I had the Library of Congress, Legislative Section, prepare for me, and I put into the {{sc|Record}} at that time, statutes which provide voting rights in all the States of the Nation. The {{sc|Congressional Record}} of last night contains those statutes of all the States from Alabama to Wyoming. In every one of the States of the Nation there are statutes that protect the right to vote. There is not a single one of the 48 States that does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. Why does the Federal Government have to have this bill passed? Is it not practically an insult to the States? It is. “We need it. The States will not enforce their laws?” If that be the case, all the Government has to do is to enforce the Federal statute I referred to today. Title 18, section 594, is the number of that Federal statute, which provides punishment for anyone who intimidates, coerces, or threatens any person for interfering with any other person in voting. That statute is as clear as a crystal. It provides for a fine of $1,000, or punishment of 1 year in prison, for anyone who interferes with the right of another citizen to vote. So, if there is anybody in this country today who is prevented from voting, all he has to do is to report it to the district attorney in his State, of if he prefers, to write the Justice Department. He can take that course, and action can be taken under that statute which is already on the books. Why put another statute on the books? Why put another statute which the Supreme Court will very probably hold to be unconstitutional? I do not know what the Supreme Court will hold. I do not like to take any chances with the Supreme Court. At any rate, the Constitution of the United States is clear, the wording is simple. Any seventh-grade child can read article III., section 2, of the Constitution of the United States and see that any citizen charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. He can also read the sixth amendment to the Constitution, one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and see that any man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It is very difficult to understand why the Congress, which is supposed to be composed of the brightest intellects in the country, or some of the brightest intellects, would pass a bill of this kind. Yet, if the Congress passes such a bill, this so-called compromise bill on voting rights, it will certainly amaze me if the Supreme Court does not hold it to be unconstitutional. I shall be badly disappointed if the Congress passes it. Of course, under the pressure of different organizations, left-wing organization, ADA and NAACP, both parties are dancing like jitterbugs on the civil-rights question, because they want to carry the doubtful States where the Negroes, although only a small percentage, if they vote in a bloc, can swing a State. I think it will be a great pity if the Congress passes this bill. I hate to see it pass such an unnecessary bill. It seems to me that every Representative in Congress and every Senator is practically insulting his home State if he votes for this bill. He is practically saying to the governor of his State and the legislators of his State, “Although you have bills to protect voting rights, we have no confidence in you, and although we have one Federal law, we are going to pass another Federal law, and ram it down your throats whether or not you want it.” I think it is almost an insult to the States. I suggest that they write the governors and see how many of them want this bill passed. I am wondering how many Senators in this body and how many House members have checked with the governors to find out if they want this unconstitutional monstrosity passed by the Congress. I do not believe 10 percent of the governors of the Nation would say, “We are weaklings, and we want you to pass a strong civil-rights bill because we do not have the courage to do it. We do not have the courage to protect our people.” As a matter of fact, Mr. President, the States already have laws on that subject, and I have read them into the {{sc|Record}}. The voting-rights statutes of the States have been read into the {{sc|Congressional Record}}, in the case of every State of the Union. Those who read the {{sc|Congressional Record}} will find them set forth there. Mr. President, if any Senator, on either side of the aisle, can state why it is necessary to enact another Federal law to protect the right to vote, I should like to have him do so, provided I am able to yield for that purpose without losing the floor and without having the remarks I make after yielding for that purpose counted as a second speech by me. I challenge any Senator on either side of the aisle to answer this question: Why is another Federal law needed in order to protect the right to vote, when there is already on the statute books section 594, which reads, in part, as follows: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose.}} In other words, one who intimidates, threatens, or coerces a voter, or even attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce him, may, under the provisions of this statute, be prosecuted. He may be prosecuted, not only if his purpose is to interfere with the right of such other person to vote, but also if his purpose is to interfere as to the person for whom such other person may wish to vote. Mr. President, are there teeth in this statute? There certainly are. This statute provides that anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, or attempts to interfere with his voting for whomever he wishes to vote for, can be prosecuted in a Federal court and can be fined $1,000 or sentenced to a prison term of 1 year. Do not those provisions constitute teeth and strength in the existing law? Of course they do. If there is in the United States, today, any person who is having any trouble in exercising his voting right, again I say that all he has to do is contact the Department of Justice or the district attorney in his home State, and action can be taken under this Federal law to punish any person who interferes with his right to vote. Inasmuch as section 594 is an existing Federal statute on that subject, why is it necessary to enact another Federal statute dealing with the right to vote? It would be absolutely useless, unnecessary, and futile to enact another Federal statute on that subject; it would be a great mistake to do so, especially in view of the fact that such a statute would be unconstitutional. Mr. President, please understand that I do not even concede that the Federal Government has a right to enter this field. Instead, I believe that these matters should be handled by the respective States. However, the Federal Government is already in this field—under the provisions of section 594, by means of which a person can be fined as much as $1,000 or put in jail for as long as one year, if her tries to interfere with the right of someone else to vote. Since the Federal Government already is in this field, why should another Federal law on the same subject be enacted? Mr. President, every day that passes, the Federal Government, here in Washington, D. C., is whittling away the rights of the States. It hurts me to see the Federal Government invade fields which are reserved to the States. I deeply regret that a bigger and more powerful Federal Government is being built up in Washington, D. C. This Central Government has become tremendously top-heavy. I should like to see the States have more power. Since World War II., the Communists have taken over approximately 17 countries. In doing so, they did not invade by means of troops using bayonets and tanks; those countries were not taken over in that way by the Communists. Instead, the Communists proceeded by way of infiltration. Poland was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Poles. Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Czechs. China was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Chinese. The Communists have been able to infiltrate into the central governments; they have been able to worm their way into the police systems, and then into the election systems. Then, before one could realize it, the countries were taken over by the Communists. Mr. President, why have the Communists been able to take over those countries? Since the end of World War II., they have been able to take over 17 countries, with populations totaling between 600 million and 800 million. The Communists have been able to do that because each of those countries has had a strong central government; and when the Communists obtained control of that central government, they were able to take over control of the entire country. Mr. President, the more we in the United States build up power in a strong central government, the more risk we run from the standpoint of subversive activities and infiltration. If the people of the United States have the vision to keep the 48 States strong—each with its own election laws and its own police system—there will be no way by means of which the United States can be taken over by subversion. But if more and more power is given to our Central Government, after a while the States will be nothing but territories, and will not have any power. Mr. President, the so-called civil-rights bill which the Congress is about to pass would simply take power a way from the States and would give it to the Federal Government. A Senator might say, “I should vote for the bill because it will help me in the elections.” Mr. President, Senators had better begin to think more about the welfare and safety of their country, and less about the elections. Mr. President, I am convinced that we must protect the States. The Constitution now protects them; but the Supreme Court and the Congress and the executive branch of the Government have been taking steps—by handing down decisions, passing laws, and issuing regulations and edicts—which violate the rights of the States and take away from the States the power they have. Mr. President, this development cannot continue to occur, if our country is to be safe. I am disturbed for the safety of my country. I am a brigadier general in the Army Reserve and if our country becomes engaged in an armed conflict, I am ready to serve. But we must keep our country stronger, or we shall find it engaged in conflict. One of the ways to weaken it is to weaken the States, as we are doing today, and to keep taking away the powers of the States and building up a powerful Central Government in Washington. It is the greatest mistake in the world. It was not contemplated when our Constitution was written. Our forefathers decided they would delegate a few powers to the Federal Government, and they spelled them out in the Constitution. All one has to do is to get the Constitution and read it. It spells out just what powers the Congress has, what powers the Federal Government has, but all other powers are reserved to the States and to the people thereof. At the rate we are going now, we will not have any States after a while. The Federal Government will have all the power. Mr. President, some time ago I read a book by a man by the name of James Jackson Kilpatrick, of Richmond, Va., printed by the Henry Regner Co., of Chicago, entitled “The Sovereign States.” I wish every American could read this book. I am going to read some excerpts from it today. I should like to have Senators listen to some of the passages in this book. This man is a great writer, a true patriot, and a great American. First, I am going to read a passage by John C. Calhoun, one of the five all-time great Senators, recently selected to have his portrait placed in the Senate reception room. John C. Calhoun, I think, is one of the greatest men this country has produced. I nominated him to be selected to have his portrait placed here, and I am proud the committee selected it. He was a man who had keen vision and a proper conception of the Constitution. There is one page in the beginning of the book by him that I want to read; it is very short. This is what he says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|The great and leading principle is, that the General Government emanated from the people of the several States, forming distinct political communities, and acting in their separate and sovereign capacity, and not from all of the people forming one aggregate political community; that the Constitution of the United States is, in fact, a compact, to which each State is a party, in the character already described; and that the several States, or parties, have a right to judge of its infractions; and in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of power not delegated, they have the right, in the last resort, to use the language of the Virginia resolutions, “to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining, within their respective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.”}} {{smaller block|This right of interposition, thus solemnly asserted by the State of Virginia, be it called what it may—state right, veto, nullification, or by any other name—I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions.}} {{right|{{sm|{{sc|John C. Calhoun}}}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Fort Hill}}, ''July 26, 1831''}}.|1em}} This was John C. Calhoun. He wrote that at Fort Hill, and if any Senators want to know where it is, it is at Simpson College. In fact, his home was at the college. Mr. President, my statement was that Fort Hill is at Simpson College in South Carolina. Of course, that is the greatest college in the United States. This book on the sovereign State was written, as I have said, by James J. Kilpatrick. First, I want to take up his introduction, and then I want to present some excerpts from the book: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Introduction}}}}}} {{smaller block|Among the more melancholy aspects of the genteel world we live in is a slow decline in the enjoyment that men once found in the combat of ideas, free and unrestrained. Competition of any sort, indeed, seems to be regarded these days, in our schools and elsewhere, as somehow not in very good taste. Under the curious doctrines of the Fair Trade Act, vigorous salesmanship is unfair, and retailers are enjoined against discommoding their fellows. Mr. Stevenson’s criticism of the administration’s foreign policy, during the last presidential campaign, was not that the policies were so very wrong: they were not bipartisan. With a few robust exceptions, our writers paint in pastels; our political scholars write a sort of ruffled-sleeve, harpsichord prose. We duel with soft pillows, or with buttoned foils; our ideas have lace on them; we are importuned to steer, with moderation, down the middle of the road.}} {{smaller block|These chamber music proprieties I acknowledge, simply to say, now, that the essay which follows should not be misunderstood. May it please the court, this is not a work of history; it is a work of advocacy. The intention is not primarily to inform, but to exhort. The aim is not to be objective; it is to be partisan.}} {{smaller block|I plead the cause of States rights.}} {{smaller block|My thesis is that our Union is a Union of States; that the meaning of this Union has been obscured, that its inherent value has been debased and all but lost.}} {{smaller block|I hold this truth to be self-evident: That government is least evil when it is closest to the people. I submit that when effective control of government moves away from the people, it becomes a greater evil, a greater restraint upon liberty.}} {{smaller block|My object is not to prove that the powers and functions of government have grown steadily more centralized, more remote from the people, for that proposition requires no proof; it requires only that one open one’s eyes. Rather, my intention is to plead that the process of consolidation first be halted, then reversed, toward the end that our Federal Government may be strictly limited to its constitutional functions and the States may again be encouraged to look after their own affairs, for good or ill.}} {{smaller block|A long time ago, the geometric mind of Edmund Pendleton offered a theorem. The State and Federal Governments, he said, must follow the path of parallel lines. Others have conceived the relationship in terms of spheres, separate but touching. The idea, when all this began, was that neither authority would encroach upon the other; and in the beginning, it was more feared that the States would usurp Federal powers than the other way around.}} {{smaller block|Now the rights and powers of the States are being obliterated. The encroachments of the Federal Government have widened its road to a highway and narrowed the road of the States to a footpath. Having deceptively added a dimension to the Federal line, the broad constructionists declare their faithful adherence to the plans of the original draftsmen. Soon, a geometry unknown to Pendleton can proclaim the apparent miracle of parallels that meet this side of infinity.}} {{smaller block|I do not know that the sovereign powers of the States may be regained at all. Justice Salmon P. Chase once remarked, with great satisfaction, that State sovereignty died at Appomattox. But I do most earnestly believe that an effort must be made to regain these powers. The alternative is for American Government to grow steadily more centralized, steadily more remote from the people, steadily more monolithic and despotic.}} {{smaller block|Only the States themselves can make the effort; which is to say, only the people of the States. Only if the citizens of Virginia, as Virginians; or of Texas, as Texans; or of Iowa, as Iowans, insist upon a strict obedience to the spirit of the 10th amendment, can the Federal juggernaut be slowed. Only if the people evidence a determination once more to do for themselves can the essential vitality of a responsible and resourceful society be restored.}} {{smaller block|I do not despair. So long as the I-beams and rafters of the Constitution remain undisturbed, the ravages of Federal encroachment may be repaired. A latent yearning for personal liberty, an inherited resentment against the authoritarian state, a drowsing spirit of independence—these may yet be awakened.}} {{smaller block|But again, the States, as States, will have to do it.}} {{smaller block|It will not be easy. In many influential quarters, it will not be popular. It is a sweet narcotic that centralists sell.}} {{smaller block|Yet there is high example to be found in what the States have done before to preserve their identity. They have not always been spineless. In times past they have resisted, now successfully, now unsuccessfully; but even in their failures, something has been gained merely in the assertion of State convictions.}} {{smaller block|My purpose here is first to examine the bases of State sovereignty; then to follow the State and Federal relationship from its beginnings under the Articles of Confederation through its refinement in the Constitution; next to review some of the comment on the role the States were expected to play. The place of the States scarcely had been fixed, it will be submitted, before advocates of consolidation began to whittle it down—first in the ''Chisholm'' case, which led to the 11th amendment, and more memorably in the Alien and Sedition Acts, which led to the “Doctrine of ’98” and the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of that year. It is proposed to follow this doctrine of the States’ “right to interpose,” in its various forms and applications down through the years, with particular emphasis upon the dangers of judicial encroachment and the need for State resistance against it. Finally, I have in mind to marshal some of the evidence which supports the case for the South in its immediate conflict with Federal authority, and to review other recent events that seem to me usurpations of the States’ reserved powers.}} {{smaller block|So much, then for the plan of this book. The political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall will not care much for it.}} {{right|{{sm|J. J. K}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Richmond, Va.}}, ''September 1956''.|1em}} That was the introduction to the book The Sovereign States, by James J. Kilpatrick. James J. Kilpatrick is one of the greatest editors in the Nation today. I will read certain excerpts from the book, beginning on page 3. First I will read a quotation opposite page 3: {{smaller block|The States within the limitations of their powers not granted, or, in the language of the 10th amendment, “reserved,” are as independent of the General Government as the General Government, within its sphere, is independent of the States. (Justice Samuel Nelson, ''Collector'' v. ''Day'' (1871).)}} Mr. Kilpatrick has done a fine job and rendered a great service to this country in writing this book: {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to here yield to the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, for a question. Mr. LONG. Did I correctly understand the Senator to make the statement that, according to the preface or introduction to the book, the book would be displeasing to those who agreed with Alexander Hamilton, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, the forerunner of the American Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. The editor said that the political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall would not care much for the book. Alexander Hamilton was a great American, but his philosophy was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. They were both great Americans, but Alexander Hamilton believed more in the theory of a strong Central Government, with the power residing in Washington. Thomas Jefferson’s idea was that the power should remain with the States, and that only so much power should be given to the Federal Government as was necessary to perform its functions as delineated in the Constitution. The Senator has probably read many books about Hamilton. In one of such books his philosophy is described in this way: {{smaller block|Speaking of education, Alexander Hamilton’s thought was to select some of the brightest young men and educate them, to make them leaders. Thomas Jefferaon’s philosophy was to give all an opportunity, and let the leaders rise where they would.}} So, when Kilpatrick wrote this statement I am confident that he was contrasting the philosophy of Hamilton more or less with that of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton was a very able man, one of the greatest Americans this country has produced; but his philosophy, as the Senator well knows from studying his life and history, was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it the view of the Senator that Alexander Hamilton would ever for a moment have approved of any proposal whereby an American accused of a crime would have been denied the right to present his case before a jury of impartial people who would hear the case, judge the evidence, and find him guilty or innocent? Mr. THURMOND. In reply, I will say no. I think Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both would have approved of trial by jury. They were both delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and they both rendered magnificent service in many ways. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, if the Senator will further yield, I believe he will find that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, did the Senator yield for a question or a statemen? Mr. LONG. The Senator yielded for a question. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the Senator from Louisiana for a question. The Senator is correct about Thomas Jefferson. I had in mind Madison. Mr. LONG. Does not the Senator realize that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention? The Senator is perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the convention which adopted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. Is not, the Senator perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of those who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson was the American Ambassador to France at the time the Constitution was drafted. Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Thomas Jefferson was Ambassador to France, but Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York State, and he signed the Constitution. In fact, he was the only delegate from New York State who signed the Constitution. When I spoke a few minutes ago about Jefferson, I was thinking about Madison. Madison signed the Constitution, as did Blair. Both were from Virginia. George Washington presided over the Convention. Mr. LONG. Is there any doubt in the Senator’s mind that, so far as Alexander Hamilton was concerned, he would never for a moment have contested the right of any citizen to be tried before a jury if he were accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I agree. If he had taken any other position, he would not have signed the Constitution. As I have stated, Alexander Hamilton was the only delegate from the State of New York who signed the Constitution as representing the State of New York. In the original Constitution, article III, section 2, provided for jury trial. Mr. LONG. Is it not, therefore, true that insofar as the right of a citizen to be tried by jury for a crime is concerned, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would have agreed 100 percent that the freedoms guaranteed Americans under their form of government included the right to be tried by a jury of their own neighbors, in the area where the crime was committed, in the event they were accused of committing a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I can yield only for a question. I shall be glad to express myself after the Senator has concluded. Let the Senator ask any question he wishes. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to state that, although the book from which the Senator is reading may not reflect the views of Alexander Hamilton, it is nevertheless correct to state that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would both have agreed that anyone accused of a crime should have the right to be tried before a jury of his neighbors? Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree. In my judgment, if Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were living today, and both were Members of the Senate, both would be fighting for the right to a jury trial, as provided in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to say that so far as we can determine there has never been a man who served in this body, and who was regarded as a great statesman, who has ever at any time advocated that American citizens should be denied their right to be tried by a jury in the event they were accused of committing a crime against the United States or against a State? Mr. THURMOND. I think the able Senator is eminently correct. I do not know of a great man in our history, any man whom I would consider great, whose name is on the lips of the people—I cannot think of a single one in our history who would take a position in opposition to jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Scott}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from Louisiana? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to paraphrase more or less the words of Shakespeare, that those American politicians who have fought against the freedom of Americans to be tried by a jury when accused of a crime have been politicians who more or less strutted and strutted their brief hour on the stage to be heard from no more? Mr. THURMOND. I do not think any man who takes a stand against giving a person a jury trial will be long remembered after he has gone or when his record is searched and it is found that he opposed a jury trial. I think we would immediately call for a reappraisal of his whole life in the event he had been considered a great man previous to that time. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that men like George Norris, William Borah, and Robert M. La Follette, who fought through the years for the right of trial by jury, have statues standing in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. In fact, there is a quotation from George Norris which I read last night. If I can put my hand on it I should like to read it to the Senator from Louisiana. I have never read a stronger statement in behalf of a jury trial. He said that in all cases a man should have a jury trial. The distinguished Senator from Virginia [Mr. {{sc|Byrd}}] and the distinguished Senator from Mississippi [Mr. {{sc|Eastland}}] and I introduced a bill in March to provide the very type of jury trial which Senator Norris recommended. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. The Senator from South Carolina having made a great study of all these matters involving jury trials, the freedom of Americans, and States rights, can he now name from memory a single one of those Senators who made a fight down through the years to deny American citizens of the right of trial by jury? Mr. THURMOND. I could not name a single man whom I considered a great man or a great Senator who opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator recall the names of any Americans who have served in this body and who have made a fight against the right of a man accused of a crime to be tried by a jury? Can the Senator offhand recall the name of any such person? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot recall the name of any American of any stature within my recollection who has opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator Borah’s statue is just outside the main entrance of the Senate Chamber, immediately outside the door? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. I see it every time I go through the door. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator William E. Borah, a great constitutional lawyer, even though he came from a very small Western State, population considered, was seriously considered by the Republican Party as its nominee for the Presidency of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. I have been told that. I did not know the Senator personally; only through reputation. But I know he was a great American. He declared on April 8, 1930: {{smaller block|I am not contending here that labor organizations can at any time employ threats, force, or violence or intimidation. They must keep within the law—}} He was referring there to jury trials in labor cases. I have a long report including a speech by Senator Norris on May 2, 1930. I read it last night— Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question at that point? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that those who oppose the right of jury trials are basically those who do not believe in the freedoms that Americans enjoy under the Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. I certainly agree with the Senator. I think the jury trial is one of the greatest freedoms we have. I look upon it as the heart of the Bill of Rights. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? MT. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that persons who fear that juries may not convict guilty persons are those who really have very little confidence in the determination of people to uphold free government? Mr. THURMOND. It seems to me they could not have much confidence in human nature; otherwise they would favor jury trials. To be tried by a man’s neighbors, his peers, his fellow men, is the fairest way a man could be tried. I sat on the bench for 8 years and tried many cases, but I always felt much better about it when a jury passed on the question. I watched closely the verdicts of juries. I was deeply impressed. I feel that juries come nearer to meting out justice to criminals than it can be done in any other way. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Recognizing the fact that it is possible for a jury to turn a guilty person free, is it not also true that the freedoms which Americans enjoy under their Constitution were calculated in such fashion as to express the philosophy that it is better to turn 9 guilty men free than to send 1 innocent man to the penitentiary or to his death? Mr. THURMOND. I never did go on the theory of nine guilty ones being turned loose. There is no doubt that there is a common saying to that effect. If I had to make a decision as to whether I would turn 9 guilty ones loose, or put 1 innocent man in prison, I would turn the 9 loose. I think that would be the thinking and the feeling of the average American. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Does not this logic become conclusively clear when we contemplate for a moment a capital punishment case where it is possible to put an innocent man to death? In such a situation, would it not be better for the court to turn 9 culprits loose rather than to kill 1 innocent man? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. There is no question about it. Some juries make mistakes. Anybody in any kind of work makes mistakes. Everybody has weaknesses and there are bound to be errors. Judges make mistakes. Of course, often a judge’s philosophy is different. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that anyone can make mistakes, is it not somewhat better that the scales of justice should be weighted a little in favor of finding a person innocent when there is a considerable doubt as to whether the person is innocent or guilty? Mr. THURMOND. Our law is based on the presumption that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a common legal principle that any lawyer knows about who has practiced any criminal law. I do not know precisely what the Senator had in mind on that, though, for this reason: I do not think if a man is given a jury trial, a jury necessarily lets him go free. I think a jury is going to do what it thinks is right unless it is biased, or has been approached in some way, or influenced in some way. Of course, that happens sometimes. It does not happen often, but I think it does happen sometimes. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Can the Senator imagine a judge who issues an order ordering the entire world to comply with his injunction as being as fair and impartial as a jury before which a case involving a violation of his order should be tried? Mr. THURMOND. When a judge hears a contempt case he is the legislator, he is the prosecutor, he is the judge, and he is the jury. If I were a judge and if such a law as is here proposed were on the books, if I were back on the bench, and if I had to act under this type law, I would submit it to the jury anyway. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that it is contemplated that a judge makes a law by issuing the injunction and then cites the individuals whom he cares to cite, can the Senator think of anything any more inappropriate than the judge who makes the law, addressed to individuals, should be the same person to try the same individuals for violating his own order? Does the Senator not believe that any judge worthy of the name would at least want to have a jury to prove that justice is being done to people who violated his own order? Mr. THURMOND. I think the Senator is eminently correct. It is unfortunate that a judge who issues an order of contempt has to try the case, because he has already made up his mind to a certain degree. Of course, that might be removed. But still he has made up his mind, or he would not issue the order. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that a person who is responsible for issuing the edict and commanding people to do certain things at his discretion should be the last person to make the final decision on who should be punished for not obeying his order? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. In fact, this is known as injunction-made law. That is what it is. It is injunction-made law, and it is bad law. It is much better to have a jury trial. That is the American way of doing things. That is one of the grievances complained of by those who signed the Declaration of Independence, as I have brought out, namely, that in a great many cases they were denied jury trials. Provisions for jury trial are embodied in several places in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so there is no question about the whole intent of our judicial system. Our administration of justice has been based upon jury trials. I think it is one of the most fundamental principles embodied in our type of government. If this so-called compromise amendment were to go a little bit further, it would sound more like a Communist amendment. I do not believe I read what Senator Norris said about jury trial. He said: {{smaller block|I wonder if a suffering people, whose forefathers fought for liberty, are going to give up the idea of it in this day and age, in this civilized day, and are going to submit to injunction-made law.}} He was wondering whether they were going to submit to it. {{c|{{x-smaller|1. THE BEGINNINGS}}}} {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} {{smaller block|This was on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, June 12, 1788, in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill in Richmond. The Virginia Convention had been grappling for 10 days with the new Constitution, and Edmund Pendleton, aging and crippled, had been sitting in dignified silence for as long as he could stand it. Patrick Henry, who was a hard man to live with at any time, was being especially difficult. Once before, on the 5th, Pendleton bad attempted to soothe him, but Henry was not to be soothed.}} {{smaller block|The State and Federal Governments would be at war with one another, Henry had predicted, and the State governments ultimately would be destroyed and consolidated into the General Government. One by one their powers would be snatched from them. A rapacious Federal authority, ever seeking to expand its grasp, could not be confined by the States.}} {{smaller block|“Notwithstanding what the worthy gentleman said,” remarked Mr. Pendleton with some warmth, for there were times when he regarded Mr. Henry as neither worthy nor a gentleman. “I believe I am still correct, and insist that, if each power is confined within its proper bounds, and to its proper objects, an interference can never happen. Being for two different purposes, as long as they are limited to the different objects, they can no more clash than two parallel lines can meet. * * *”}} {{smaller block|They were big ifs that Edmund Pendleton, a judicious man, here used as qualifications. If the State and Federal Governments were each confined within its proper bounds, be said, the clash could never come. But the Federal Government could not be kept confined, even as Henry feared, and the clash did come. It continues to this day. Mr. Pendleton’s geometry was fine, but his powers of prophecy (for be believed that each government could be kept in check) were sadly in error.}} {{smaller block|To understand how the parallel lines of State and Federal powers have turned awry, it is necessary to look back at the period before these lines were drawn. The acts of ratification by Virginia and her neighbors were acts of sovereign States. At stake was their consent to a written constitution. How, it may be inquired, did they come to be sovereign States? What is this concept of State sovereignty?}} {{smaller block|It would be possible, in any such review, to go back to the great roots of Runnymede, but it will suffice to begin much later, in the turbulent summer of 1776. The startling commitments of Lexington and Concord were behind us then; the bitter trials of White Plains, Vincennes, Camden, and Yorktown still lay ahead. March and April and May had passed—a time of bringing forth of newness, of fresh hope—and great human events had run their course. Now, in June, a resurgent people made the solemn decision to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another. Thus Jefferson’s draft began, thus the Continental Congress adopted it at Philadelphia; from this moment Americans unborn were to date the years of their independence.}} {{smaller block|The eloquent beginning of the Declaration—the assertion of truths self-evident and rights beyond alienation—is well known: It is a towering irony that Jefferson, whose convictions were cemented in the inequality of man, should have his precise phrase corrupted by the levelers of a bulldozer society.

Let us inquire, What, precisely, was it that we declared ourselves to be that Fourth of July? Hitherto there had been colonies subject to the King. That form of government would now be abolished.

Or that they were henceforth a free and independent people? Still no.}} {{smaller block|This was the declaration: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Not one State, or one Nation, but in the plural—States; and again, in the next breath, so this multiple birth could not be misunderstood, “that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.”}} {{smaller block|It had opened, this Declaration, as an enunciation of what often are termed the “human rights,” but it concluded, in the plainest terms, as a pronouncement of political powers—the political powers of newly created States. And these powers of war and peace, these powers of alliance and commerce, were published not as the powers of a national government, but as powers henceforth asserted by 13 free and independent states.}} {{smaller block|To be sure, the States were united. Their representatives styled themselves Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, but it was not the spokesmen of a nation who gathered in parliament. These were States in Congress. “One out of many,” it is said. In a sense, yes. But the many remained—separate States, individual entities, each possessed, from that moment, of sovereign rights and powers.}} {{smaller block|Certainly Jefferson so understood our creation. “The several States,” he was to write much later, “were, from their first establishment, separate and distinct societies, dependent on no other society of men whatever.”}} {{smaller block|So Mr. Justice Samuel Chase comprehended it: He considered the Declaration of Independence, “as a declaration, not that the United Colonies Jointly, in a collective capacity, were independent States, etc., but that each of them was a sovereign and independent State, that is, that each of them had a right to govern itself by its own authority, and its own laws without any control from any other power on earth.” From the Fourth of July, said Chase, “the American States were ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' in the possession and actual exercise of all the rights of independent governments. * * * I have ever considered it as the established doctrine of the United States, that their independence originated from, and commenced with, the declaration of Congress, on the Fourth of July 1776; and that no other period can be fixed on for its commencement; and that all laws made by the legislatures of the several States, after the Declaration of Independence, were the laws of sovereign and independent governments.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, the sage and cool-minded Mr. Justice Cushing: “The several States which composed this Union * * * became entitled, from the time when they declared themselves independent, to all the rights and powers of sovereign States.”}} {{smaller block|Even Marshall himself had no doubts: In the beginning, “we were divided into independent States, united for some purposes, but in most respects sovereign.” The lines which separate the States, he later remarked, were too clear ever to be misunderstood.}} {{smaller block|And for a contemporary authority, it is necessary only to turn to Mr. Justice Frankfurter, who some years ago fell to discussing the dual powers of taxation preserved under the Constitution: “The States,” he said, “after they formed the Union”—not the people, but the States, “continued to have the same range of taxing power which they had before, barring only duties affecting exports, imports, and on tonnage.” Regrettably, Mr. Justice Frankfurter appears in more recent times to have lost his concept of States forming a Union.}} {{smaller block|It is no matter. Evidence of the States’ individual sovereignty is abundantly available. Consider for example, the powers asserted on the part of each State in the Declaration “to levy War, conclude Peace, and contract Alliances.” Surely these are sovereign powers. The States exercised them, as States, in the Revolutionary War. But it is of value to note that New York also very nearly exercised her war powers to enter into formal hostilities with the State of Vermont. Tensions reached so grave a point that Massachusetts, in 1784, felt compelled to adopt a formal resolution of neutrality, enjoining her citizens to give “no aid or assistance to either party,” and to send “no provisions, arms, or ammunition or other necessities to a fortress or garrison” besieged by either belligerent. When New York adopted a resolution avowing her readiness to “ecur to force,”" Vermont’s Governor Chittenden (whose son was to be heard from 30 years later in another row) observed that Vermont “does not wish to enter into a war with the State of New York.” But should this unhappy contingency result, Vermont “expects that Congress and the 12 States will observe a strict neutrality, and let the contending States settle their own controversy.”}} {{smaller block|They did settle it, of course. New York and Vermont concluded a peace. The point is that no one saw anything especially remarkable in two separate sovereignties arraying themselves against each other. Vermont was then an individual political entity, as remote at law as any France or Italy. And New York, though a member of the Confederation, and hence technically required to obtain the consent of Congress before waging war, had every right to maintain a standing army for her own defense.}} {{smaller block|The status of the individual States as separate sovereign powers was recognized on higher authority than the proclamations of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is worth our while to keep in mind the first article of the treaty of September 3, 1783, by which the war of the Revolution came to an end:}} {{smaller block|“His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign, and independent States; that he treats with them as such.”}} {{smaller block|More than 5 years earlier, a treaty of amity and commerce with France had established the same sovereign status of the contracting parties. Louis XVI. treated with the 13 American States, but he recognized each of them as a separate power. And it is interesting to note that Virginia, feeling some action desirable to complete the treaty, prior to action by Congress, on June 4, 1779, undertook solemnly to ratify this treaty with France on her own. By appropriate resolution, transmitted by Governor Jefferson to the French minister at Philadelphia, the sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia declared herself individually bound by the French treaty. In terms of international law, Virginia was a nation; in terms of domestic law, she was a sovereign State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|2. THE STATE}}}} {{smaller block|To review the process by which the colonies became States is not necessarily to answer the basic question, What is a State? It is a troublesome word. The standard definition is that a State is “a political body, or body politic; any body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one government, especially one that is not subject to external control.” Chief Justice Chase, in ''Texas'' v. ''White'', put it this way: “A State, in the ordinary sense of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed.” In the Cherokee case, John Marshall described a State as “a distinct political society, separated from others, capable of managing its own affairs and governing itself.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, variously, a State is defined as a body, a community, and a distinct society. Plainly, mere boundary lines are not enough; a tract of waste and uninhabited land cannot constitute a State. Nor are people, as such, sufficient to constitute a State. James Brown Scott once offered this clear and succinct definition:}} {{smaller block|“The State is an artificial person, representing and controlled by its members, but not synonymous or identical with them. Created for a political purpose, it is a body politic. It is a distinct body, an artificial person; it has a will distinct from its members, although its exercise is controlled by them; it has rights and duties distinct from its members, but subject to being changed by them; it may hold property distinct from its members, but in trust for them; it may act separately and distinctly from them and bind them by its acts, but only insofar as it is authorized by the law of its creation, and subject to being changed by the source of that power.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the State is seen as a continuing political being, controlled by its citizens and yet controlling them. The State can be bound in ways that its own people cannot be bound; it can exercise powers that no citizen or group of citizens may exercise for themselves. The State may buy, sell, hold, grant, convey; it may tax and spend; it may sue, and if it consent, be sued; it exists to create law and to execute law, to punish crime, administer justice, regulate commerce, enter into compacts with other States. Yet there is no State until a community of human beings create a State; and no State may exist without the will and the power of human beings to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|It is this combination of will and power which lies at the essence of the State in being. This is sovereignty. In the crisp phrase of John Taylor, of Caroline, sovereignty is “the will to enact, the power to execute.” Long books have been written on the nature of sovereignty, but they boil down to those necessities: The will to make, the power to unmake.}} {{smaller block|It was this power, this will, that the people as States claimed for themselves in 1776. Henceforth, they said, we are sovereign: The State government is not sovereign, nor is any citizen by himself sovereign. By the “sovereign State” we mean us citizens, the State; we collectively, within our established boundaries; this community of people; we alone who are possessed of the power to create or to abandon.}} {{smaller block|God knows it was a great, a priceless, power these people as Stat es claimed for themselves. True, not everyone saw it that way. Mr. Justice Story, for one, never grasped the concept of States. Nor did Jackson. Albert J. Beveridge, in his biography of Marshall, refers sneeringly to the States as “these pompous sovereignties,” but in a way, Beveridge’s is perhaps a high acknowledgment of the simple truth: These infant States were sovereignties, and the people within them were proudly jealous of the fact. They saw themselves, in Blackstone’s phrase, “a supreme, irresistible, absolute, uncontrolled authority.” This, among other things, was the aim they had fought for. It cannot be imagined that they ever would have relinquished this high power of sovereignty except in the most explicit terms.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|3. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION}}}} {{smaller block|In time, the Continental Congress gave way to the Articles of Confederation. The articles merit examination with the utmost care; they are too little studied, and there is much to be learned from them.}} {{smaller block|First proposed in 1778, the articles became binding upon all the States with Maryland’s ratification in 1781. Throughout this period, as the war ran on, each of the States was individually sovereign, each wholly autonomous. Mr. Justice Iredell was to observe, in 1795, that had the individual States decided not to unite together, each would have gone its own way, because each “possessed all the powers of sovereignty, internal and external * * * as completely as any of the ancient kingdoms or republics of the world which never yet had formed, or thought of forming, any sort of Federal union whatever.”}} {{smaller block|But they did form a Federal union—a “perpetual union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.” They styled themselves, “The United States of America,” and in the very second article of their compact, they put this down so no one might miss it:}} {{smaller block|“Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”}} {{smaller block|The third article is almost equally brief, and may be quoted in less space than would be required to summarize it:}} {{smaller block|“The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.”}} {{smaller block|There will be seen, in these opening paragraphs, the genesis of constitutional provisions that were to follow in less than a decade. Here is the forerunner of the 10th amendment, with its reservation of undelegated powers to the State or to the people; here are the aims set forth of “common defense” and the “general welfare.”}} {{smaller block|The fourth article advanced other phrases that have come down to us: The free inhabitants of each State (“paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice excepted”) were to be entitled to “all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” Here, too, one finds the provision, later to be inserted substantially verbatim in article IV. of the Constitution of 1787, providing for the extradition of fugitives. Here the States mutually agreed that “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth article provided for representation of the States in Congress. There were to be no less than 2, no more than 7 delegates from each State. They would assemble on the first Monday in November of every year. In this Congress, each State cast one vote; each State paid the salary and maintenance of its own delegates. These provisions, of course, were later abandoned; but we may note that the fifth article prohibited delegates to the Congress from “holding any office under the United States for which he or another for his benefit receives any salary, fees, or emolument of any kind,” and also provided that “freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress.” Both provisions were to turn up later in article I., section 6, of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The sixth and seventh articles dealt generally with limitations upon the States in terms of foreign affairs and the waging of war. Again, many a familiar phrase leaps from this much-maligned compact of Confederation. No State, nor the Congress, was to grant a title of nobility; no two or more States were to enter into any treaty, confederation, or alliance without the consent of the other States in Congress assembled; no State was to keep vessels of war in time of peace (“except such number as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled”), nor was any State to engaged in war without the consent of Congress “unless such State be actually invaded by enemies, or * * * the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay * * *.”}} {{smaller block|The eighth article provided for defraying the expenses of war among the State “in proportion to the value of all land within each State,” and the ninth article dealt with the powers of Congress. Once more, the origin of a dozen specific phrases in our present Constitution is evident. Congress was given the “sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war.” It was to enter into treaties and alliances, establish certain courts, fix standard weights and measures, and establish post offices. But the Congress alone could do almost none of these things—it could exercise no important power—without the consent of nine of the member States.}} {{smaller block|The remaining 4 articles are of less interest and concern, although it may be noted that in 3 places, the framers of the Articles of Confederation provided that their union was a permanent union. The articles were to be inviolably observed by the States the delegates respectively represented, “and the union shall be perpetual.”}} {{c|{{x-smaller|4. WE, THE PEOPLE}}}} {{smaller block|Of course, it wasn’t perpetual at all. Before 6 years had elapsed, the States came to recognize grave defects in the Articles of Confederation. And because they were sovereign States—because they had the will to enact and the power to execute, because they who had made could unmake—they set out to do the job again.}} {{smaller block|What they made, this time, was the Constitution of the United States. So much has been {{SIC|writen|written}} of the deliberations that summer of 1787 in Philadelphia—so many critics have examined every word of the great document which came forth—that probably no new light can be shed upon it here. Yet the constitutions of most States command their citizens to recur frequently to fundamental principles and the commandment is too valuable an admonition to be passed by. There is much of interest to be found if one examines the Constitution, the debates and the commentaries of the time, in terms of the relationship there established between the States and the new Federal Government they formed.}} {{smaller block|It may be inquired, was sovereignty here surrendered in whole or in part? What powers were delegated, what powers retained?}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I do not want the Senator to strain his voice, but I do have some responsibilities as minority leader. I do not think the Senator is making any motion, but I should at least like to know what is going on in the Senate Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield for a question if the Senator has a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. My question is, Would the Senator speak up? I do not want him to strain his voice, but I should like him to speak a little louder so I shall be sure no motions are being made or anything of that sort. I do have some responsibility here. Mr. THURMOND. I suggest that the Senator move closer to me. Mr. KNOWLAND. Under the rules of the Senate, which are now being strictly enforced, both Senators being in their respective seats, and this happening to be my seat as the minority leader, I urge my request of the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. We might get unanimous consent to allow the Senator to come closer to me if he wishes. I do not think my colleagues will raise any point. There is an excellent seat here, I may say to the Senator. Mr. KNOWLAND. I am very well satisfied with the seat to which I am assigned. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I continue to read: {{smaller block|What were the functions to be performed by the States in the future? Was it ever intended that the States should be reduced to the weakling role thrust upon them in our own time? We must inquire whether this proud possession of State sovereignty, so eloquently proclaimed in 1776, so resolutely affirmed in the articles of 1781, so clearly recognized in the events of the time, somehow vanished, died, turned to dust, totally ceased to exist in the period of the next 6 years.}} {{smaller block|Now, the argument here advanced is this—it is the argument of John Taylor of Caroline and John Randolph of Roanoke—that sovereignty, like chastity, cannot be surrendered in part. This was the argument also of Calhoun: “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” This was the position, too, of the bellicose George Troup of Georgia, of Alexander H. Stephens, of Jefferson Davis. It is the position of plain commonsense: Supreme and ultimate power must be precisely that. Finality knows no degrees. In law, as in mountain climbing, there comes a point at which the pinnacle is reached; nothing higher or greater remains. And so it is with the States of the American Union. In the last resort, it is their prerogative alone (not that of Congress, not that of the Supreme Court, not that of the whole people) to make or unmake our fundamental law. The argument here is that the States, in forming a new perpetual union to replace their old perpetual union, remained in essence what they had been before: Separate, free, and independent States. They surrendered nothing to the Federal Government they created. Some of their powers they delegated; all of their sovereignty they retained.}} {{smaller block|It is keenly important that this distinction be understood. There is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign power. The power to coin money, or to levy taxes, is a sovereign power, but it is not sovereignty. Powers can be delegated, limited, expanded, or withdrawn, but it is through the exercise of sovereignty that these changes take place. Sovereignty is the moving river, sovereign powers the stone at the mill. Only while the river flows can the inanimate stone revolve. To be sure, sovereignty can be lost—it can be lost by conquest, as in war; the extent or character of sovereignty can be changed, as in the acquisition or relinquishment of territory or the annexation of new peoples; sovereignty can be divided, when two States are created of one. But properly viewed, sovereignty is cause; sovereign powers, the effect: The wind that blows; the branches that move. Sovereignty is the essence, the life spirit, the soul: And in this Republic, sovereignty remains today where it was vested in 1776, in the people. But in the people as a whole? No. In the people as States.}} {{smaller block|The delusion that sovereignty is vested in the whole people of the United States is one of the strangest misconceptions of our public life. This hallucination has been encouraged, if not directly espoused, by such eminent figures as Marshall, Story, and Andrew Jackson. It is still embraced by excessively literal and unthinking fellows who read “we the people” in the preamble to the Constitution, and cry triumphantly, “that means everybody.” It does not; it never did.}} {{smaller block|The preamble to the abandoned Articles of Confederation, it was noted, declared the articles “binding between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York,” and so forth. The preamble offered by the Convention of 1787, reads:}} {{smaller block|“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”}} {{smaller block|The opening few words were questioned repeatedly by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention of 1788. He kept asking querulously, what was meant by “we the people,” but he got no very satisfactory answer for his pains. Governor Randolph ducked the question, and Pendleton missed the point. Pendleton asked, rhetorically, “who but the people have a right to form government?” and the answer, obviously, in America, is “no one.” Then Pendleton said this:}} {{smaller block|“If the objection be, that the Union ought to be not of the people, but of the State governments, then I think the choice of the former very happy and proper. What have the State governments to do with it?”}} {{smaller block|Again, the obvious answer is, “The State governments have nothing to do with it,” but that was not the question Henry asked. There is a plain distinction between “we the States” and “we the State governments,” for States endure while governments fall. It was Madison who came closest to answering the insistent Henry. Who are the parties to the Constitution? The people, said Madison, to be sure, are the parties to it, but “not the people as composing one great body.” Rather, it is “the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” And he added:}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina when he was a judge in South Carolina? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair cannot hear. Will the Senator speak a little louder? Mr. THURMOND. From 1938 to 1946, 8 years. Mr. LANGER. The Senator was a circuit judge, was he not? Mr. THURMOND. Yes; in the highest trial court in the State. About half that time I was in the Army, overseas. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Continuing to quote from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|“Were it * * * a consolidated government, the assent of a majority of the people would be sufficient for its establishment; and, as a majority have adopted it already, we remaining States would be bound by the act of the majority, even if they unanimously reprobated it * * * But, sir, no State is bound by it, as it is, without its own consent.”}} {{smaller block|Col. Henry Lee took the same point of view in responding to Patrick Henry. Lighthorse Harry spoke as other proponents of the Constitution did, in irritation and perplexity. He could not comprehend why Henry’s question should even be asked. Obviously, the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble—the “we the people” there and then engaged in ratifying the Constitution—were we “the people of Virginia.” If the people of Virginia “do not adopt it, it will always be null and void as to us.”}} {{smaller block|Here Lee touched and tossed aside what doubtless was so clear to others that they could not understand what Henry was quibbling about. Of course, “we the people” meant what Madison and Lee found so obvious: It meant “we the people of the States.” Why argue the point? “I take this,” said Randolph testily, “to be one of the least and most trivial objections that will be made to the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|The self-evident fact, as plain as the buttons on their coats, was that the whole people, the mass of people from Georgia to New Hampshire, obviously had nothing to do with the ratification of the Constitution. The basic charter of our Union never was submitted to popular referendum, taken simultaneously among the 3 million inhabitants of the country on some Tuesday in 1788. Ratification was achieved by the people of the States, acting in their sovereign capacity not as “Americans,” for there is no “State of America,” but in their sovereign capacity as citizens of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Georgia.}} {{smaller block|This was the sovereign power that sired the new Union, breathed upon it, gave it life—the power of the people of the States, acting as States, binding themselves as States, seeking to form a more perfect union not of people, but of States. And if it be inquired, as a matter of drafting, why the preamble of the Articles of Confederation spelled out 13 States and the preamble of the Constitution referred only to “we the people,” a simple, uncomplicated explanation may be advanced: The framers of the Constitution, in the summer of 1787, had no way of knowing how many States would assent to the compact.}} {{smaller block|Suppose they .had begun the preamble, as they thought of doing, “We the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island,” etc., and the State of Rhode Island had refused to ratify? It very nearly did. It was not until May 29, 1790, by a vote of 34 to 32, that Rhode Island agreed to join a union that actually had been created with New Hampshire’s ratification nearly 2 full years before. Given a switch of two votes, Rhode Island might have remained, to this day, as foreign to the United States (in terms of international law) as any Luxembourg or Switzerland.}} {{smaller block|Some of these forebodings clearly passed through the minds of the delegates at Philadelphia. When the preamble first appears in the notes, on August 6, it reads: “We the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,” etc., “do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution.” In that form it was tentatively approved on August 7. But the preamble, in that form, never is mentioned again. When the document came back from the Committee on Style in early September, the preamble had been amended to eliminate the spelled-out names of States, and to make it read simply that “we the people” ordain and establish. The change was not haggled over. No significance was attached to it. Why arouse antagonism in New York or North Carolina (where there was opposition enough already) by presuming to speak, in the preamble, as if it were unnecessary for New York or North Carolina even to debate the matter? The tactful and prudent thing was to name no States. Only the people as States could create the Union; only the people in ratifying States would be bound, as States, by its provisions.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|5. THE STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, that was the way the compact read. It bound States—“The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between”—between whom?—“between the States so ratifying the same.” Not among people; it was “between States.” And this proposal was put forward “by the unanimous consent,” not of delegates assembled or of people gathered, but by “the unanimous consent of the States present the 17th day of September in the year of our Lord 1787 * * *.”}} {{smaller block|On the plain evidence of the instrument itself, it is therefore clear: States consented to the drafting of the Constitution; States undertook to bind themselves by its provisions. If 9 States ratified, the Constitution would bind those 9; if 10, those 10. Rhode Island had not even attended the convention; “poor, despised Rhode Island,” as Patrick Henry later was to describe her, could stay aloof if she chose. There was no thought here of people in the mass. There was thought only of people as States, and while the new Constitution would of course act directly upon people—that was to be its revolutionary change—it would reach those people only because they first were people of States.}} {{smaller block|The one essential prerequisite was for the State, as a State, to ratify; then the people of the State would become themselves subject to the Constitution. No individual human being, in his own capacity, possibly could assent to the new compact or bind himself to its provisions. Only as a citizen of Virginia or Georgia or Massachusetts could he become a citizen also of the United States.}} {{smaller block|Madison recognized this. He acknowledged in his famed Federalist 39 that ratification of the Constitution must come from the people “not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.” “Each State,” he said, in ratifying the Constitution, “is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” This fact lay at the essence of the Federal Union being formed. The States, and within them their local governments, were to be “no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The jurisdiction of the Federal Government was to extend “to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.” Even the most casual reading of the Constitution, it may be submitted, abundantly supports Madison’s comment here.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield to the able Senator from North Dakota for a question. Mr. LANGER. I should like to ask whether at any time in the history of South Carolina the courts permitted a defendant to be tried without a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In South Carolina anyone who wishes a jury may have one. There are a few instances where both sides agree to be tried without a jury, by the court. But a defendant is entitled to a jury trial in my State, as is the case in other States which follow the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. In what year was South Carolina admitted to the Union? It was one of the original colonies, was it not? Mr. THURMOND. In 1789. It was the eighth State admitted to the Union. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further for a question? Mr: THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Even at that time in South Carolina a defendant had the right to a jury trial, did he not? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. That has been the law continuously up to the present time? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. A defendant in South Carolina is always entitled to a jury trial when charged with a crime. Mr. LANGER. Is that also true in North Carolina? Mr. THURMOND. I would not attempt to speak for North Carolina, but I feel quite certain that that is a fact. I believe nine States ratified the Constitution before North Carolina did. So North Carolina came in after the Union was formed. So did Rhode Island. Rhode Island was the only State that did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The reason for that was that Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals at that time and it did not send any deputies. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it true that in every State in the United States under our Constitution a defendant has the right to a trial by jury in a criminal case? Mr. THURMOND. In every State of the United States a defendant charged with a crime has the right of trial by jury. Some persons confuse magistrate courts or minor courts; but even there, although we may not see it, there is a jury box. Most persons, unless they are lawyers, do not know that defendants are entitled to a jury trial in those courts. There is a jury box hidden somewhere. Nine out of ten do not ask for a jury trial; that is, in cases where the punishment is a fine of $100 or 30 days. But even there if a man says “Wait a minute, Mr. Recorder; I want a trial before a jury,” it must be given to him. Mr. LANGER. That is true, for example, if a man is arrested and charged with spitting on the sidewalk or with stealing one cent? Mr. THURMOND. Any crime. Mr. LANGER. In other words, trial by jury is fundamental? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct; and rightly so, because that was one of the grievances pointed out a little earlier today that our forefathers listed in the Declaration of Independence. That was one grievance charged against the King, that in many cases persons had been denied trial by jury. That is written definitely into the Constitution. The right of trial by jury was included in several places in the Bill of Rights. The sixth amendment provides that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That was because our forefathers were taking no chances on not having a jury trial assured to them under the Constitution. In the seventh amendment it is provided, also, and there is another provision, I believe, in the fifth amendment, that a man must be indicted by a grand jury before he is tried. Under the bill that came from the House a grand jury will not pass on the question at all. Under this so-called compromise, a man is taken before a judge and is tried. He is not even asked if he wants a trial by a jury. But in the usual procedure, when the Constitution is followed, a man has to be indicted by a grand jury. In my State 18 grand jurors have to agree to a true bill before a man can be brought up for trial. He has a trial before a petit jury. In Federal courts a man can be indicted by a grand jury or on information, but in State courts a man is indicted by a grand jury. But in all the history of judicial administration in this country it has been clear that the American people have been entitled to a jury trial, and it goes back even further than the Declaration of Independence. It goes back to the Magna Carta, when the citizens of England wrung from King John in the year 1215, at Runnymede, certain rights for the people. I presume you and I, Mr. President, would call them civil rights, more or less, or corresponding to our Bill of Rights. But the people wrung from King John certain rights, and one of those rights was that a man charged with a crime would be entitled to a jury trial. So, going back to the year 1215, on down to this time, our people have had a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a further question. Mr. LANGER. Is it the opinion of the Senator from South Carolina that of all the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights the very heart and very core of the 10 amendments is the right of the defendant to be tried by a jury? Mr. THURMOND. All the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights are important, but I think the trial-by-jury provision as generally spoken of is the heart of the Bill of Rights. That is the importance attached to it. It is generally spoken of as the heart of the Bill of Rights. In other words, if there should be cut out of the Bill of Rights the right of a trial by jury you have cut the heart of the Bill of Rights out; it would be excised. What is it to have freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of the press or right to petition the Government or the right to assemble, all of which are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, or to keep troops from being quartered in our homes, or all the other things guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if some tyrant, whether a Federal district judge, or any other kind of tyrant, can take a man and himself try him without a jury and put him in prison; and, of course, if a man is in prison he cannot enjoy his civil rights? Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator. We have gotten down to the very core of this entire proposal. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate his deep interest in this matter. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota has manifested an unusual interest in the right of trial by jury. He has the vision to see the importance of trial by jury and to see how this proposed bill the House has passed is attempting to bypass the Constitution and in doing so, of course, is violating the Constitution and therefore is a bill the Congress ought to kill. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. For 4 years I was attorney general of my State. Mr. THURMOND. I understand the Senator made a very distinguished record as attorney general of the State of North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. During that time, of course, I had a great deal to do with juries. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure the Senator did. Mr. LANGER. And in every single case I submitted to a court a jury trial had been waived. Mr. THURMOND. Every case the Senator tried I imagine was before a jury. Mr. LANGER. That is correct. I should like to ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina whether in his experience in South Carolina it is true that the average defendant can get better justice from a jury than he can from a judge, no matter how honest and fair the judge may be? Mr. THURMOND. Regardless of how fair and impartial the judge is or wants to be, it is my judgment from my experience on the bench for 8 years—and as I said, for about half of that time I was in the Army during World War II.—and from my practice of law before then, since 1930 when I was admitted to the bar—and after I left the Governor’s office in January 1951, I practiced until I came to the Senate—I consider that juries give fair verdicts, and I think it would be destroying the administration of justice if we should take any step to hamper or injure or impair in any way the jury system of the United States. Mr. LANGER. Again I want to thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I read further: {{smaller block|But the Constitution ought not to be read casually. Viewed from the standpoint of State and Federal relations, what does the Constitution say and do? The rubrics do not demand, before an ordinary mortal may explore the question, that he be ordained a constitutional lawyer or put on the chasuble of the bench. Our Constitution is not the property of a juridical clergy only. The laity may read it too, and with equal acuity and understanding. The terms are not ambiguous.}} {{smaller block|The first thing to note, perhaps, is that the words “State” or “States” appear no fewer than 94 times, either as proper nouns or pronominals, in the brief 6,000 words of the original 7 articles. The one theme that runs steadily through the whole of the instrument is the knitting together of States: It is a union that is being formed, and while the people are concerned for themselves and their posterity, the Constitution is to be established binding States.}} {{smaller block|Legislative powers, to begin at the beginning, are vested not in one national parliament of the people, but in a Congress of the United States. The word “Congress” was chosen with precision; it repeated and confirmed the political relationship of the preceding 11 years, when there had been first a Continental Congress and then a Congress under the Articles of Confederation.}} {{smaller block|This Congress is to consist of two Houses. The first is the House of Representatives, whose Members are to be chosen “by the people of the several States.” And here, in the very second paragraph, the framers encountered and opportunity to choose between a “national” and a “federal” characteristic: They might have established uniform national qualifications for the franchise, but they did not. Electors qualified to vote for candidates for the House of Representatives are to have “the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned—how? “Among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers.” How is this enumeration to be determined? The provision should be noted with care, for it is the first of four clauses that speaks eloquently of the plural nature of our Union: “The actual enumeration shall be made within 3 years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.” Now, the antecedent of they is not “Congress,” but “United States.” Nowhere in the whole of the Constitution or in any of the subsequent amendments is the United States an “it.” The singular never appears.}} {{smaller block|What else sheds light in the second section of article I.? We find that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” whereupon follows a rollcall of the States themselves: “Until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse 3, Massachusetts 8,” and so forth. And when vacancies happen “in the representation from any State,” the Governor thereof is to issue a writ of election.}} {{smaller block|The dignity and sovereignty of States are made still more evident in the composition of the Senate. It is to be composed “of two Senators from each State,” and whereas Representatives are required to be inhabitants of the States “in which” they shall be chosen, Senators must be inhabitants of the States “for which” they shall be chosen.}} {{smaller block|It is in section 4 that the first grant of authority to the Federal Government appears: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but”—and here the qualified concession—“the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chusing Senators.”}} {{smaller block|The delegations of power to a federal government appear most fully, of course, in section 8, but it is worth noting that not all the powers delegated to Congress are exclusive and unqualified powers. Thus, the Congress may raise and support armies, “but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.” Thus, the Congress may provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of the militia as may be employed in the service of the United States, but there is reserved “to the States respectively” the appointment of officers and the authority to train their militia according to regulation established by Congress. Thus, too, Congress may exercise Federal authority over federally owned property within the States, but how is such property to be acquired? The authority of the Congress extends only to those places “purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be,” and this applies not only to military and naval installations but also to “other needful buildings.”}} {{smaller block|Several provisions in section 9 merit attention. As a concession to the slave trade—one of the essential compromises without which the Constitution never would have come into being at all—it was provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” shall not be prohibited prior to 1808. Then follow seven paragraphs of specific restrictions upon the powers of Congress. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended; no bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed; no direct tax shall be levied except according to the census of the people as a whole; no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported “from any State;” and—again emphasizing the separateness of the member States forming the Union—“no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue of the ports of one State over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.”}} {{smaller block|In section 10, the States undertook to restrict themselves. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; no State shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver legal tender; no State shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Yet even here, the prohibitions are not without qualification. Thus, the States reserved to themselves the right to levy tariffs on imports or exports sufficient to execute their inspection laws; and though the fact is often forgotten, the States even reserved to themselves the solemn power they had claimed under the Articles of Confederation, to “engage in war,” as States, if “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Ellender}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am very curious. I ask the Senator from South Carolina whether he knows how the House of Representatives arrived at the decision to provide for a maximum of 45 days and $300 in this instance. Why did not the House of Representatives decide to make the maximum number of days 50, and why did it not choose, as the maximum amount of fine, $250 or $500? Mr. THURMOND. I should like to answer the question the distinguished Senator asked, but I cannot do so. I was not consulted about this compromise. All I know about it is that I heard the majority leader made an announcement, following the taking of action in the House of Representatives. And then I read about it in the newspaper. But I had understood—and the distinguished Senator from California [Mr. {{sc|Knowland}}] can correct me about this if I am mistaken—that there was an effort on the part of the Republicans to provide for 60 days. But, since the Senate had not voted for any provision of this sort, but had voted only for a straight jury-trial provision, 45 days was selected as a compromise. That is my understanding of the matter. I pass on to the Senator from North Dakota only what I heard. But perhaps the Senator from California can answer the question. At any rate, even if 60 days had been originally proposed, and finally 45 days was decided on, the Senate got the worst end of the bargain. However, even if the provision had been for only 1 day, in my opinion the principle would be the same, because under the Constitution a citizen is entitled to a jury trial; and the Congress has no power to pass a law providing that a Federal judge or any other judge can deprive a citizen of a jury trial. However, under this proposal, a judge would be able, in two ways, to deprive a citizen of a jury trial. In the first place, the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to allow the person to have a jury trial in the first instance. If the judge decided that there could be a jury trial, the citizen would have a jury trial. If the judge decided that there would not be a jury trial, the judge himself would try the case. Next, if the judge decided to try the case himself, without a jury, the judge would proceed to try it. If, at the conclusion of the case, the judge were to determine that the punishment he would mete would be more than 45 days imprisonment or a fine of more than $300, the judge would then give the citizen another trial. In other words, this provision of the compromise would give the judge the option of trying the citizen in the first place, and it would give the judge the option of deciding how much punishment he would mete, and then the amount of punishment imposed would determine whether the citizen would receive still another trial. All those exceptions are entirely foreign to the Constitution. The Constitution provides that a man charged with the commission of a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That provision is as plain as can be. Any child in the fifth grade in school can read it and understand it; and there should not be any difficulty in understanding it. However, as I have understood in arriving at the compromise an attempt was made to get together on some provision; and the result was a monstrosity. It turned out to be an unconstitutional provision, in my opinion. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield again? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. What I should like to know is this: Is there any precedent, anywhere in the entire United States, for a measure such as this, by means of which a defendant could be tried by a judge, if the sentence imposed were imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or any other number of days, or the imposition of a fine of any size; but that if the term of imprisonment were longer or the amount of the fine were greater, there must be a jury trial? Can the Senator from South Carolina name any precedent at all for such a provision? Mr. THURMOND. I know of no place in the United States where a person charged with a crime does not have a jury trial. Even under the present criminal-contempt procedure, under existing law, if one is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no instance in any part of the United States, from Maine or the State of Washington on the north, to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or any of the other States in the southern part of the Nation, in which one who is charged with the commission of a crime does not have a trial by jury. It seems to me that in the conference, some one or more of the conferees should have raised the point, “This provision would be contrary to the Constitution, and we cannot include such a provision.” It seems to me some of the conferees would have suggested that the Constitution provides to the contrary. There is a decision which can be cited on that point; I think I have called it to the attention of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. The decision in that case holds that criminal contempt is a crime; and, since it is a crime, one charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. If there is to be passed a bill providing punishment for criminal contempt, it should provide for a jury trial. I know of no way to get around a jury trial in this matter because the Constitution has laid down the law. That is basic law. The Constitution can be amended. Congress can submit an amendment to it. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, and it can be amended so as to provide that a Federal judge in his discretion can give a man a jury trial. Then the compromise would be legal, and what it proposes would be effective. It would be. valid. As the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] said today, confirming my judgment, as it stands now it is not valid. I think it is unconstitutional. The Senator from Wyoming expressed his opinion likewise. We could amend the Constitution to provide for it. Congress could pass a law to provide that a Federal judge could punish a man for contempt, by so many days’ imprisonment, or by a fine of so many dollars. We could do that, but it has not been done. Until the Constitution is amended in the manner provided in the Constitution itself, we must abide by it. I know that many people in this country would like to get around the Constitution, and it looks as if they have been doing so. The Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution in some cases, and other branches of the Government at times have encroached upon the Constitution because there is divisional power between the Federal Government and the State governments. When we cross the line of the State government, as here, without constitutional authority, we violate the Constitution. The States entered into this pact, the Constitution, about which we are talking so much, and in this pact they delegated to the Union only certain things, and they are just as plain as they can be. They are listed in the Constitution. I should like to read to the distinguished Senator what the Constitution says on that point. Article I., section 1, provides: {{smaller block|All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.}} I will not take the time to go through all that. I will skip to the pertinent portions. Section 7 of article I. provides: {{smaller block|All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills.}} {{smaller block|Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds—}} I will skip to section 8. That is more pertinent. This is what the Congress has power to do. The powers are listed. {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.}} {{smaller block|To borrow money on credit of the United States;}} {{smaller block|To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.}} The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator suspend to receive a message from the President of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. Certainly. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Presiding Officer, the “Message from the President,” is dealt with, as is the “Executive Message Referred” and a “Message from the House.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to Senate amendments Nos. 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. I continue to read from article I., section 2: {{smaller block|To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.}} Congress would not have the power to pass bankruptcy laws, indeed Congress could not pass a law on any subject except for the power given to it by the Constitution. This provision I have read is the basis for our bankruptcy law. {{smaller block|To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.}} {{smaller block|To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States.}} {{smaller block|To establish post offices and post roads.}} That is your authority for the Federal Government to act in that field. {{smaller block|To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.}} {{smaller block|To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.}} That gives authority to Congress to establish certain courts of appeals and district courts. They are inferior tribunals, that is, inferior to the United States Supreme Court. {{smaller block|To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.}} {{smaller block|To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.}} {{smaller block|To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.}} But no appropriation of money for that purpose shall be for a longer term than 2 years. We cannot appropriate money for the Defense Establishment for more than 2 years because the Constitution limits it. If we should attempt to do that, we would go beyond the Constitution. I think that is a suggestion which may apply to foreign aid. If we should commit ourselves for 5 years or 10 years, I think that would be unconstitutional. But some of the defense items are classified under the term “foreign aid.” {{smaller block|To provide and maintain a Navy;}} {{smaller block|To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;}} {{smaller block|To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.}} {{smaller block|To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} I want to read that last part again. I wish to call attention to a point: {{smaller block|Reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} Do you not know, Mr. President, that if that section was not in the Constitution the Federal Government would be appointing the officers of the National Guard? That is the reason the Government cannot do it: the Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding 10 miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;}} For that reason the Federal Government cannot go to Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, or New Hampshire and buy a piece of land until the legislature passes an act approving such purchase. Under the provision the State must approve the transaction with respect to property within its borders, whether it owns the property or not, before the Federal Government can get it. Of course, the Government could condemn it; but if it followed the Constitution it would not be able to take it. The Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to year 1808, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding $10 for each person.}} {{smaller block|The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.}} Regardless of what a State wishes to do, the United States Constitution provides that a writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended unless—note the exception—“unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” {{smaller block|No bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed.}} {{smaller block|No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.}} We have the income-tax amendment to the Constitution. The 16th amendment to the Constitution provides that Congress can levy an income tax. That is the only authority in the Federal Government to levy an income tax. It does not inherently have that authority. The Federal Government can do only what the States gave it the authority to do when they entered into the compact in Philadelphia in 1787, and the amendments which have been adopted since then. Two years later, in 1789, the States adopted the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, for which there was so much sentiment. I do not believe the Constitution would have been ratified if the delegates to the convention had not promised the Bill of Rights would be submitted, and it was submitted and adopted 2 years after the convention, in 1789. {{smaller block|No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State.}} {{smaller block|No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.}} {{smaller block|No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.}} That is the only reason the States do not impose duties on some articles; otherwise they would probably do it, but under the Constitution they cannot do it. {{smaller block|No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.}} In other words, if I were an ambassador in London and the Queen of England wished to confer on me a title or wished to give me extra compensation for some reason I could not take the title or compensation unless Congress permitted it. Congress would have to pass an act to permit it. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 10. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ''ex post facto'' law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.}} In other words, that goes right down the line to support the point I make. So the Constitution provides exactly what the Federal Government can do. What hurts me is to see some distinguished Members of Congress, able men who believe in the division of powers between the Federal and State Governments—or I always thought they did—going along with the bill, because this is a bill that takes power away from the States and gives it to the Federal Government. The matter of elections is left up to each State. That power was not delegated. The qualifications for electors, the holding of elections, and all relevant matters were reserved to the States. There has been a movement, I understand to get the Congress to pass a bill eliminating the poll tax. I believe I told the Senate this morning, or this afternoon, that when I was Governor, I recommended that the poll tax be removed in my State and it was removed. But Congress may not pass a law to do it. It could do it, but it would be unconstitutional for the reason that there is a provision of the Constitution which states that the qualifications of electors shall be left to each State. Therefore, New Hampshire has qualifications and if the people of that State wish to make as a qualification for voting in that State the payment of a poll tax, they have a right to do so. The only way such a measure could be enacted legally, if it were going to be the law nationwide, would be for Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the poll tax. The Senator from Florida [Mr. {{sc|Holland}}] has now pending a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate the poll tax, amending the Constitution. To do that would be legal; it would be constitutional, and it would be proper. Personally I think it is better to leave to each State the power to fix the qualifications for voting of its citizens. In my State, as I have said, we have very low qualifications. We have heard much about people in my State not voting. I believe more people vote in my State than vote in New York, because New York has a much higher standard for voting. That State requires, I believe someone said, a high-school education. Someone else said it requires a grade-school education. It is certainly one of the two. In my State we require only that a man be able to read and write the Constitution, or that he own $300 worth of assessed property. So our requirements for voting are not stringent. They are not nearly as strict as they are in New York. I do not know about the requirements in the State of the Senator from North Dakota. A few years ago I was Governor of South Carolina. At that time a bill was pending in Congress to remove the poll tax on a nationwide basis. Congress was to do it. It would have been just as unconstitutional as this so-called compromise, whose proponents are trying to get it through the Congress, to deprive the people of a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. I thank my distinguished friend. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, I do not believe that American history is taught sufficiently in our high schools and colleges. I do not believe that a course in government is taught in our high schools and colleges. I come in contact with a great many intelligent people, people who have been educated, big financiers who have made a great deal of money, and many others; yet they do not know the fundamentals of the Constitution. It is because they have not studied it. I think the people of the country would be wise to study the Constitution. I think it is more important today than ever before for the people to study it and be able to delineate the powers of the Federal Government, and learn what the Federal Government has not the power to do. For example, the Congress has no power to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, because the qualifications of voters are left to each State. There are a great many things which Congress cannot do. Yet pressure is brought on Members of Congress, and they vote for certain measures anyway, because of the pressure. Why do Senators think this so-called compromise on the civil rights bill is being pressed? Why is there any civil rights bill before us? Why call this measure a right-to-vote bill? It is a perfect farce. It is not a right-to-vote bill. As I have stated, every State in the Union has statutes providing for the right to vote. The Federal Government has statutes providing for the right to vote. Why is such a bill as this being considered at this time? Because there are pressures on Members of Congress to do so. Some Members of Congress attempted to do so, even though they were doubtful of the constitutionality of the measure. The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] stated earlier in the day that he did not think the jury trial amendment which was put in the compromise bill in the House was constitutional. He said he would offer an amendment in January to correct it. I would rather see him vote against it now. If the bill should pass anyway, he could later offer his amendment. But if a bill is unconstitutional, I think it is better for us not to vote for it. I think Members of Congress must develop stamina, fortitude, and courage to resist pressures, and to stand by the Constitution. If we do not do so, as I stated earlier in the day, we shall keep whittling away the rights of the States until, after a while, the States will not have any rights. There will be a powerful Central Government—and it will be a powerful monster, too. Everything will radiate from Washington. I understand there is a movement on foot to establish a national police system. It is desired to convert the FBI, which is purely an investigative agency, into a law-enforcement agency. It is not a law-enforcement agency. Congress would not have the right to establish a national police agency, because under the Constitution the police power is reserved to the States. However, this investigative agency, the FBI, is in a different situation. It does not do police work. It apprehends criminals and works with the States, and cooperates in the execution of Federal laws, apprehending violators and bringing them to trial. But it is not a police agency. I am glad that Mr. J. Edgar Hoover said that he was opposed to a national police system. I am sorry to see that the President has been recommending a bill to provide Federal aid to education by way of construction of school buildings. I have been amazed at the fact that so many people are not acquainted with the fact that in the entire Federal Constitution there is not a sentence which contains the word “education.” The word “education” is not to be found in the United States Constitution. Therefore, since the States did not delegate the field of education to the Federal Government, the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in that field, unless we amend the Constitution and give the Federal Government jurisdiction in the field of education. We can amend the Constitution. We can follow one of the four methods of amending the Constitution, and give the Federal Government authority in that field, if that is the wise thing to do, which I do not think it is. However, that is the way it must be done. We have no authority to appropriate money for Federal aid to education. I know that the President’s intentions are good. However, at Columbia University several years ago he was against Federal aid to education. At any rate, it would be a great mistake for the Federal Government to enter the field of education. After we begin giving money for Federal aid to education by way of construction, the next demand from the powerful National Education Association, which I understand is building a tremendous office building in Washington, will be for a supplement to the salaries of teachers. The National Education Association will bring pressure on Members of Congress, as do other pressure organizations, and will say, “We need supplements to teachers’ salaries.” When we enact legislation for Federal aid to construct the buildings, and to provide supplements to teachers’ salaries, the Federal Government will be asked to pay a larger share of such salaries, and there will be more and more control to go with it. Before we know it, there will be Federal control of education, and the parents of the Nation will find their children studying books selected in Washington, instead of by the people in Delaware, North Dakota, and South Carolina. It is a great mistake for us not to follow the Constitution. If the Constitution needs amending, we can amend it. There is a provision for amending it, and it should be amended from time to time. There have been 22 amendments since it was adopted. In 1789 the first 10 amendments were adopted. Since then, 12 other amendments have been adopted. There are now 22 amendments to the Constitution. We were talking about the 16th amendment awhile ago, the income-tax amendment. I think most people feel that it is necessary, although the income tax appears high. Therefore there had to be a way to bring it about. Congress could not pass an income-tax law. It had no authority to do so until the Constitution had been amended to give Congress the power to do it. I think it is important to understand what we mean by the division of powers between the Federal Government and the State governments. We have a compound Republic. It is a compound Republic because there are Federal powers and State powers. There are three branches in the Federal Government, each of which checks on the others, with the exception of the Supreme Court. It has practically no check on it, and it has gone wild. There are three branches in the State governments. Each is supposed to be a check on the others. There are two checks on the Supreme Court. In the first place, we can impeach Supreme Court justices. However, the House must do the impeaching, and the Senate sits as a jury to hear the case. So, there is not much the Senate can do from that standpoint. The other one is that, under the Constitution, the appellate power of the Supreme Court can be controlled by the Congress, so that if Congress saw fit to pass a bill to limit the {{SIC|appelate|appellate}} power of the Supreme Court, Congress would have that right. The Constitution gives it the power to do that. Many persons think we have to amend the Constitution before we can do that. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Would the Senator say that would be a form of cruel and inhuman punishment to impose upon his colleagues? Mr. THURMOND. I would say it is cruel and inhuman punishment to impose on the citizens of America if we pass a bill without providing for a jury trial. (Manifestations of applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The galleries will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. I have received letters from a number of States, and I have been in California. I spent a week there in the fall of 1953. Starting at Long Beach and ending up at San Francisco, I made addresses all the way up the coast. I even went to Bakersfield and saw an old friend of the Senator from California there. I talked with many persons there. Unless they have had a change in sentiment, they think, just as the people of South Carolina do, that there should be jury trials. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does not the distinguished Senator also think that the people of California are interested in the 15th amendment to the Constitution, assuring all American citizens the right to vote? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the people of California are, and I am sure the people of South Carolina are. The people of South Carolina have done something about it, just as have the people of California. Last night, when the distinguished Senator from California was resting comfortably, I was speaking here and trying to rouse the people of America concerning the dangers of taking away their right of trial by jury. I placed in the {{sc|Record}} the statutes of California on that subject, and here is what they provide: {{smaller block|“California: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Elections Code Annotated—West’s—1955:}} {{smaller block|“Hindering public meeting: Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence, willfully hinders of prevents electors from assembling in public meetings for consideration of public questions (sec. 5004).}} {{smaller block|“Intimidating voter: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor, who, directly or indirectly, uses, or threatens to use, force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts, or threatens to inflict, any injury, damage, harm, or loss, or other forms of intimidation, to compel a person to vote, or refrain from voting, at any election (sec 1158).}} {{smaller block|“Interference with free exercise of elective franchise: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent means, impedes or prevents the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or who compels or induces a voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person (sec. 11582).}} {{smaller block|“Election officers: Any election officer who induces, or attempts to induce, any voter, either by menace or reward, to vote differently from the way he intended to vote, is guilty of a felony. (sec. 11583).}} {{smaller block|“Threat by employer: Any employer, whether a corporation or natural person, is guilty of a misdemeanor, if he encloses material in the pay envelopes containing threats, express or implied, intended to influence political opinions or action of employees, or who, within 90 days before an election, exhibits any placard, etc., in the place of employment, containing such threats (secs. 11584, 11585).}} {{smaller block|“Penalty: Any corporation guilty of intimidating a voter shall forfeit its charter (sec. 11586).}} {{smaller block|“Misdemeanor: Unless a different penalty is prescribed, a misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by fine of not over $500, or by both (Penal Code, sec. 19).}} {{smaller block|“Scope of penalty provisions: All penalty provisions listed above apply to both final elections and primary elections (sec. 11500).”}} Those are statutes of the State of California, and they are good statutes. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does the Senator not recognize the fact that under the voting rights bill which the Senate is attempting to pass but which the Senator from South Carolina has, for the moment, successfully prevented the Senate from passing, there is not a single individual who can be cited for either civil or criminal contempt if another American citizen is deprived of his right to vote under the Constitution? So, if the Senator is correct in his statement that no person is deprived of his right to vote in his State—and I feel certain that no American citizen is denied the right to vote in my State—neither California nor South Carolina would cite any public official or other person criminally unless they were depriving people of their right to vote under the laws of the State. Mr. THURMOND. I think some part of the Union could nullify the Constitution, just as I think some juries turn loose some defendants who are guilty. Some judges will make mistakes, too. But why do we not let the States alone and let them handle their own problems? I know the southern people and I know they are doing all they can for the Negro. I see my friend the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting next to the Senator from California. He feels that his State is doing all it can. I know the State of Mississippi, from which come my good friends, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} and Senator {{sc|Stennis}}, is doing all it can. We cannot change customs overnight. We have to let the local people work these things out. But Congress did not care to let the local people work these things out. All that is necessary is to have enforcement of the Federal statute. There is a Federal statute, to which I called attention today. For the benefit of Senators who were not here at the time, I may say that this statute provides that whoever intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, is guilty of a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment of 1 year. Mr. COOPER. Will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator know that there has never been any question, since the War Between the States, about the Negro population in Kentucky having the right to vote, and exercising that right? Mr. THURMOND. I have never heard any question about it. I simply say that in my State the Negroes are voting in large numbers. They claimed the credit for carrying the election for Stevenson in 1952, and at that time there was a very close election. They claimed they cast more than 80,000 votes, which was about 25 percent of the total. Their own newspaper contained that information. I have a clipping from that newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer. So they are certainly voting in my State, and I am sure they are voting in the Senator’s State. Is it not better to let the local people work out these problems, rather than to rush things on them, and try to change their customs overnight? As a matter of fact, if you gentlemen want to take any action, however, if the proponents of this bill are not satisfied—I do not think the distinguished Senator is dissatisfied—with the enforcement by the governors of the States of the Nation—and the governors are the chief executive officers of the States and are responsible for enforcing the law—or if the Federal Government is not satisfied with the enforcement being given by the governors to the voting laws of the States to protect the rights of people to vote, then why do they not enforce the Federal statute, which is already on the books? Mr. COOPER. Because of the Senator’s kind reference, I should like to ask a question as follows: Does the Senator know that in Kentucky all citizens, including all Negroes, have had, since the War Between the States, the right to vote, have exercised that right, and that it has never been questioned? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is the case, because I have heard that they vote there. They are voting in the South in larger numbers than ever before. No persons in my State are deprived of the right to vote. If they are qualified to vote, they are allowed to vote. Of course, no man who is not qualified ought to be allowed to vote. New York State has a much higher standard, as I said a while ago, than we have. If a person can merely read or write in my State, he can vote. In New York one has to be a high-school graduate, I believe, or at least has to meet a literacy test. So we are not nearly so strict in South Carolina as they are in New York. The Senator comes from a border State. Kentucky is a great State. I suggest to the Senator, however, since he is from a border State that went in part with the North and in part with the South, that the Senator stick with the South. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I will ask the Senator if it is not true that Kentucky had to make that choice almost a hundred years ago and they chose to stick with the Union? Mr. THURMOD. Mr. President, if there is any Member in the Senate who is not satisfied with the voting protection given by the governors and the other officials of the States of the Nation, again I say that all they have to do is to call upon the Justice Department to enforce section 594. It is now against the Federal law to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or to attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any voter, in any way, shape, or form. That is the Federal statute which is on the books now. Why not enforce that statute? What is the idea of coming here with a right-to-vote bill? That is a big, high-sounding word that does not mean anything. If we pass this bill, we will pass an unconstitutional bill. It will be all right if the Justice Department will enforce section 594. I believe they are enforcing it. Is there anyone that thinks they are not enforcing this law? Is there anyone who thinks the present administration is not enforcing section 594? If the Justice Department are enforcing this law, they are protecting people in this matter now. If they are not enforcing this law, let them enforce it, and that will protect them. Either the Justice Department are not enforcing this law, if they have had complaints, or they have not had any complaints. Has the Justice Department had complaints, such as we have been hearing about, that many people have been denied the right to vote? We hear that in the South many people are denied the right to vote. What is there now; what has there been in the past 5 years to keep the Attorney General from going to any Southern State to enforce this statute? It is a Federal statute. The Attorney General not only has the right to enforce it, but he has the duty. If there have been any complaints about people in the South not voting, I have not heard of them. But if there have been any complaints about them not voting, then the Justice Department ought to do something about it. If the Justice Department has taken no action to enforce this statute, it shows one of two things: The Department has not had anybody objecting, or, if there were objections, it ignored them and did not do its duty by enforcing the statute. The point is there is a Federal statute now, so why pass another bill? All the Congress needs to do is to follow the Constitution. If we will follow the line of demarcation in the Constitution between the powers delegated to the Federal Government and the powers reserved to the States, we will not get into difficulties about all these different things. If a bill were introduced to repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, there would not be any question but that the Congress would not consider it because it would be unconstitutional. The qualifications of voting are reserved to the States. Why can we not look at it from that viewpoint and not try to say whether it is a good bill or a bad bill? On the right to vote bill, should there be any question whether we are going to accept this compromise? I do not think there should be any question at all, because the Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The court decision which I have before me holds that criminal contempt is a crime. Mr. President— The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). The Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I will proceed now, if there are no further questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina has the floor. Mr. THURMOND. Article III., defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield to the able Senator for a question. Mr. LANGER. Is it correct that under Federal statute 594 there can be imposed a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. The compromise right to vote bill cuts it down to a fine of $300 and 45 days in jail. If the judge determines that the defendant ought to suffer a greater penalty than that, the case has to go to a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator, I will say if this bill is passed, of course I am expecting it to be held unconstitutional as soon as it can be tested. But until that is done, they will have a choice. There could be a prosecution under the Federal statute, which is section 594: or such a person could be taken before a Federal judge, and the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to try the case. If the judge decided he was in a hurry to take a vacation trip, he could simply say, “I will try the case myself.” Then, under the provisions of the compromise measure, the judge would try the case; and the person being tried could not complain. Let me ask the Senator from North Dakota what he would do. Suppose he were to find himself in such a situation; and suppose the judge were to say to him, “Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I will not give you a jury trial. I will try you myself”—and then the judge would rear back on his haunches and would grin. What would the Senator from North Dakota do under those circumstances? There would be nothing he could do, because the judge would have a right to try him under the provisions of the compromise measure which has come to us from the House of Representatives. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Inasmuch as section 594 is on the statute books, why is not this right-to-vote bill entirely superfluous? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has put his finger on exactly what I have been discussing in the Senate for—let me see, Mr. President, how long has it been? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-one hours. Mr. THURMOND. No; Mr. President, it has been 22 hours and 10 minutes. [Laughter.] For 22 hours and 10 minutes I have been trying to emphasize that point—namely, why is this compromise necessary, when a Federal statute on this subject is already on the statute books? It provides for a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail. If the Department of Justice is interested in the persons who are alleged to have been deprived of the right to vote—regardless of whether they are whites, Negroes, or others—why does not the Department of Justice take action to enforce section 594 and thus protect the right to vote? The Department of Justice can do that under section 594. That is up to the Department of Justice. I do not know what the Department will do; that is up to the Department of Justice. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. During the last 5 years, has anyone been arrested under section 594? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota, I wish to say that I have never heard that anyone in my State has been tried under that statute. So there is no use in having the representatives of the Department of Justice come to South Carolina and say that people there are deprived of the right to vote, because if anyone representing the Department of Justice does come to South Carolina and does make such a statement, I will tell him that it is his own fault, for those in the Department of Justice have failed to do their duty; they have a law under which they can punish such persons, but they have not done so. Either no one in South Carolina is deprived of the right to vote, or else the Department of Justice has failed to do its duty. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. I get the point very clearly. Mr. THURMOND. Let me ask whether there are any more questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield the floor? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I shall proceed. I am just trying to find a section of the Constitution to which I wish to refer. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, while the Senator from South Carolina is doing that, will he yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Can the Senator from South Carolina tell the Senate how many years ago section 594 was enacted into law? Mr. THURMOND. I believe it was in 1939. Mr. LANGER. Do I correctly understand that since that time, there has been no prosecution under that provision of law? Is that true, so far as the Senator from South Carolina knows? Mr. THURMOND. I have not heard of a single prosecution in South Carolina under that statute. Mr. LANGER. Has the Senator heard of one in any other State? Mr. THURMOND. If there has been one, I have not heard of it. I would not say there has not been one in some other State, but I do not know of a case of that sort which has been tried in the Federal courts. Some have been tried in the State courts; we are enforcing our State laws. But I have not heard of a case in which anyone has been tried under this Federal statute—which carries with it a heavy penalty, namely, a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment in jail for 1 year. I have never heard of anyone who has been tried under that law. But, Mr. President, of course I am not surprised at that, because in South Carolina, everyone who wishes to register to vote and to vote, does register and does vote, if he is qualified. So I do not think it likely that there would be any cases of that sort in South Carolina. Mr. President, there have been insinuations to the effect that the Southern States are denying some people the right to vote. I think insinuations about any States should stop—whether that be Northern States, Southern States, Eastern States, or Western States. All of us are Americans. We have a great country. In all the wars the United States has ever fought, the United States has had brave soldiers from all sections of the country. It is very bad to have people in one section of the country try to snipe at people in another section of the country. That is the very thing George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address. Mr. LANGER. Yes, I am familiar with that admonition by George Washington. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, if anyone in the South has been intimidated or coerced or threatened with regard to voting—if anyone in any Southern State has been treated in that way—the district attorney in the State can take action any day he wishes to; and if the Department of Justice does not do it, the Department is failing to perform its duty with respect to such violations; or else there are no violations of that sort. So evidently there have not been any violations of that sort in the State of South Carolina, or else no one has complained about them. As a matter of fact, I am quite sure that there have not been any violations of that sort in my State, because, as I have said, anyone in South Carolina who wishes to vote, and who is qualified to vote, and who registers, can vote. Mr. President, I should like to read what George Washington said. Sometimes, Mr. President, when I see the able Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting in his seat in this Chamber—so able a judge and lawyer, and a fine soldier in World War II.; and when I see in the Chamber the distinguished senior Senator from Michigan [Mr. {{sc|Potter}}], who lost both of his legs in that war; and when I see my other fellow veterans who are distinguished Members of this body or are distinguished Members of the House of Representatives, and then when I see matters of a sectional nature brought up here, and when one group wishes to try to have enacted into law a measure aimed at punishing another section of the country, it makes my heart ache. My colleagues who are veterans did not feel that way when they were serving in the Armed Forces overseas; they did not feel that way when they were in uniform. If the Members of Congress from various sections of the United States would just accord to all the other States the same respect that they expect to have accorded to their own States I am sure that we would not be having this trouble; and then I would not have been speaking here on this subject for more than 22 hours in an effort to arouse the American people. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For 22 hours and 10 minutes. Mr. THURMOND. No, Mr. President, for 22 hours and 20 minutes. [Laughter.] I would not be trying to arouse the American people if it were not necessary. But why should the North want to pick on those of us who live in the South? Why do the people in New York want to pick on us? Why do the people in New Jersey want to pick on us? Or why do the people of any other section of the country want to pick on us? We think we are fairly good people. We think we are patriotic. The Members of Congress from the Southern States want to work together with all the other Members of Congress. Mr. President, I want to extend every courtesy to every other Member of Congress, and I want to see those who live in any particular section of the country extend to the rest of the people of the country the same courtesy that they expect to have extended to themselves. But, Mr. President, I can tell you this: This right-to-vote bill—and I say this because I know something about its history—is aimed at the South. It is aimed at the South; and it hurts me to see that done, because South Carolina is not guilty, and this bill should not be enacted. I do not believe the other Southern States are guilty. The Southern States have done their part in every way. As I have said, the people of the Southern States have fought for their country and have served in public office in every way. They have been honorable people. Yet, in order to try to win the votes of certain minority blocs, some pressure groups are willing to punish us, to put us under the heel, and to grind and grind and grind us. I am getting tired of it. (Manifestations of applause by the occupants of the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The doorkeepers must keep the galleries in order. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. COOPER. A minute ago the Senator spoke very generously of our association and friendship during World War II. I know that he did not mean to intimate that there was any intention upon the part of the Senator from Kentucky, in his vote on the civil-rights bill, to show any bias or prejudice toward his own people in the South. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that there was not, Senator. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator remember? Mr. THURMOND. I remember, and I say to the Senator from Kentucky he is one of the finest and most gracious gentlemen I have known. The Senator from Kentucky is not one of those ardent proponents of the bill who is trying to ram the bill home. I do not know how he is going to vote, but he is a good constitutional lawyer. I hope he will not vote for it. I hope he will think over the jury trial issue and not vote for it. He has not been one of those who has been baiting the South. Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Kentucky is a good friend of the Senator from South Carolina, but the Senator from Kentucky will vote for civil rights. He intends to vote for the bill this evening or at some later time. In the debate he said again and again that he believes in the juries in the South, and that the people of the South would respect the law and would follow the law. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina knows that the Senator from Kentucky said that. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure he did say that. The only thing is that if the Senator feels that the South obeys the law, I do not understand why he should want to have this bill passed. I will get on with what George Washington said. Mr. President, George Washington, in his Farewell Address, used his strongest language against those who would divide our country; he urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern—Atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations: they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} That was George Washington speaking. George Washington wanted to see the people from the North to the South, and to the East and the West, bound together with a fraternal feeling. He wanted a fraternal attitude manifested. Why should we not manifest a fraternal attitude on these matters? Why should we not try to help another section, and not sponsor legislation which is aimed at any particular section, merely to try to get votes to win an election? I have said, and I repeat, that since every State in the United States from Alabama to Wyoming has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and since the Federal Government has a statute on its books to protect the right to vote, there is no need for this bill. I say, and I repeat, that I think the bill is purely political, and I think that both parties have been trying to grab the ball to see who could get the spotlight for the elections coming up in 1958. {{smaller block|Article III, defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. We may note, for example, two further uses of the plural: First, the judicial power is to extend “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.” Second, treason against the United States is to consist “only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies.” Because the authority of the Court will be considered at length in a later chapter, it will suffice here merely to point out that nowhere in article III is the Court given jurisdiction over controversies between a State and the United States. That proposal was specifically advanced during the convention, and specifically rejected.}} {{smaller block|Every section—indeed, every paragraph—of article IV touches upon the Federal nature of the Union. Full faith and credit are to be given in each State, to the acts and judicial proceedings of every other State. If this were not a Federal Union, the provision would be nonsense. Beyond this, the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. A person charged in any State with crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall be delivered upon demand to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime.}} {{smaller block|Then comes the provision that Northern States were to flout over a period of 30 years: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.”}} {{smaller block|Finally, we may note in article IV the provision for admitting new States into this Union (not this Nation, but this Union): “No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.”}} {{smaller block|Article V had best be quoted in full. It has not been changed by so much as an apostrophe in the years since it came from Philadelphia in September of 1787. It still fixes and defines the sovereign power:}} {{smaller block|Pause for a moment over this article of the Constitution. We are dealing here with Taylor’s “will to enact” and “power to execute;” we are dealing with Marshall’s “power to make and unmake.” It was plainly envisioned by the framers that their work would require amendment through the years. “That useful alterations will be suggested by experience, could not but be foreseen,” Madison was to write. There was a double aim in the provision, even a triple aim. {{SIC|Aricle|Article}} V, Madison tells us, was intended, first, to guard equally against too-easy amendment on the one hand and too-difficult amendment on the other. It was drafted, secondly, to permit amendments to originate both with the Federal and with the State Governments. But it was intended, finally, to leave the ultimate decision upon changing the Constitution to the sovereign States themselves—not to the people as a mass, nor even to a bare majority of the States as such. It was recognized that the great, overriding principle of protection for minorities should apply here as bindingly as it was to apply elsewhere. If one-fourth of the States plus one should object to a change in the Constitution—even if that change were desired by three-fourths minus one (and even if this larger fraction should include the great bulk of the total population)—the change could not be engrafted to the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI is brief. Its first provision covers debts and engagements entered into under the Articles of Confederation and continues these obligations under the proposed new Constitution; its third provision prohibits any religious test as a qualification for public office and requires an oath to support the Constitution of all public officers, both State and Federal.}} {{smaller block|It is the second provision that merits brief attention in this summary review:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”}} {{smaller block|Let us go back: What is to be supreme? Three things. First, “this Constitution.” Secondly, “laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof.” Third, treaties made “under the authority of the United States.” That is all. Not Executive orders of the President. Not even judgments of the Supreme Court. The Constitution, the laws made in pursuance thereof, the treaties.}} {{smaller block|In passing, note the phrase “law of the land.” It stems originally from the Magna Carta; but as it appears in the Constitution, “law of the land” was merely a substitution, proposed by the committee on style, for “law of the several States and their citizens and inhabitants.” The object was to extend this new supreme law to Territories as well as to the States. And this phrase, “law of the land,” is as close as the Constitution ever comes to suggesting a “nation.” Actually the word “nation” or the word “national” never appears in the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The aim, we will recall, was to form “a more perfect Union.” Representatives and taxes were to be apportioned among the several States which may be included “within this Union.” The militia may be called forth to execute “the laws of the Union.” The President is to provide Congress with information on the “state of the Union.” New States are to be admitted “into this Union.” The guaranty of a republican form of government goes “to every State in this Union.” But never, at any point, are the United States described, in the Constitution, as comprising a “nation.”}} {{smaller block|This is not to contend, of course, that ours is not a Nation, or that the Federal Government does not operate nationally. It is only to suggest that the deliberate terms of the Constitution speak for themselves, and should be heeded: Our country is, first and foremost, originally and still, a Union of States. And when we speak of the law of the land, it should be kept steadily in mind that the land is a Federal Union, in which each of the States stands coequal with every other State. The Constitution is supreme not only in its authority over each State, but also in its protection over each State. And each State, each respective State, is entitled to rely upon the Constitution as embodying supreme law that all other States must adhere to with equal fidelity, like it or not, until the Constitution be changed by the States themselves.}} {{smaller block|Note, too, the careful qualification that defines laws enacted by the Congress. Just any laws of the United States are not enough: Laws, to be binding, must be laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Any attempted statutes that invade the residuary authority of the States, Hamilton tells us, “will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” And he adds, at another point, that:}} {{smaller block|“There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”}} {{smaller block|Surely, it may be urged that precisely the same standard must be applied to other branches of the Federal Government—the executive and judicial no less than the legislative. By extension, thus, judgments of the Court, to be supreme law of the land, must be made pursuant to the Constitution. A judgment of the Court, so violative of the clear terms and understandings of the Constitution as to invade the residuary authority of the States, must also be regarded as a usurpation, and should deserve to be treated as such. The argument will be pursued at greater length hereafter.}} {{smaller block|Finally, this brief examination of the Constitution from the standpoint of the States may be concluded with a second look at article VII. It should be read carefully; for this is the clause that binds: “The ratification of the conventions of 9 States”—not, again, the approval of a majority of the people in a popular referendum, but the ratification of 9 States—“shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, on September 17, the Convention concluded its work. George Washington, as President of the Convention, transmitted the document to the Congress. A prophetic sentence appeared in his letter, as he mentioned the compromises necessary for the surrender of sovereign powers: “It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved.” The States had done the best they could through their delegates. Eager to consolidate their Union, each State had been disposed “to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected.” They launched the ship.}} {{smaller block|“Well, Doctor,” said the lady to Mr. Franklin, “what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”}} {{smaller block|“A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”}} It is pretty hard to keep when bills are introduced to violate the Constitution by chipping off and whittling away the rights of the States in an effort, it seems, to reduce them to colonial status. Continuing the quotation from the Kilpatrick book: {{c|{{x-smaller|6. THE PROPHETIC MR. HENRY}}}} {{smaller block|For the States’ understanding of what the Constitution was to mean to them, as States, we can look not only to the internal evidence of the Constitution itself, but to the debates in the ratifying conventions and to some of the contemporary criticism, notably in the Federalist papers. We can look, also, to some of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court from time to time, and to the writings of scholars of our own day.}} {{smaller block|The evidence is overwhelming. By written compact, solemnly ratified, the States agreed mutually to delegate certain of their sovereign powers to a Federal Government. They enumerated these powers. All other powers they reserved to themselves, and these reserved powers did not need to be enumerated: the reserved powers constituted an inherent powers of sovereign States not specifically abridged.}} {{smaller block|So plain was this understanding that the feeling most frequently encountered, in reading comments of the period, is one of incredulity that anyone should doubt it.}} {{smaller block|“The proposed constitution,” said Hamilton, “so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, said Madison:}} {{smaller block|“It is to be remembered that the General Government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its {{SIC|jursidiction|jurisdiction}} is limited to certain enumerated objects which concern all the members of the Republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments, which can extend their care to all other objects which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity.”}} {{smaller block|Neither Hamilton nor Madison could quite imagine the Federal Government ever seriously encroaching upon the States.}} {{smaller block|“Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require,” said Hamilton, “I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons intrusted with the administration of the General Government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository.”}} {{smaller block|Then he added, with a singular absence of prophecy:}} {{smaller block|“The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things, in short, which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected. * * *}} {{smaller block|“It will always be far more easy for the State governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the National Government to encroach upon the State authorities.”}} That is where he was wrong. In other words, Hamilton had no idea that the Federal Government would ever attempt to encroach on the rights of the states. In his day it looked to him as if it would be easier for the States to encroach on the rights of the Federal Government than for the Federal Government to encroach on the rights of the States. But in recent years do-gooders, welfare-staters, left-wingers, and other pressure groups are trying to transform this Government. They are trying to make of it a national government. It is not a national government; it is a Federal Government. The States came together in a federation and formed this Government. That is the conception which I hope we can get over to the people of the Nation, that our Government is not a national government; it is a Federal Government made by the States coming together and forming a federation and signing the compact which became the Constitution. Therefore we have a Federal Government, not a national government. I hope we shall never have a national government. We must stop the Federal usurpation that is now going on and has been going on for some years. {{smaller block|Madison, also, imagined that the Federal Government would “be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments.” For his part, Hamilton thought it more probable that the States would encroach upon the Federal Government, and he imagined that in such contests the State governments, because they “will commonly possess most influence” over the people, would dominate Federal agencies “to the disadvantage of the Union.” However, all such conjectures Hamilton viewed as “extremely vague and fallible.” He preferred to assume that the people “will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium between the general and the State governments.”}} {{smaller block|In No. 45, Madison treated at considerable length the widespread apprehension that the States would be obliterated. Some of his comments have been outdated; what he has to say about the election of Senators, for example, unhappily has been superseded by the misfortune of the 17th amendment. Some of his other observations, dealing with functions of what was to become the Bureau of Internal Revenue, may occasion some wary reflection on the lengths by which even a Madison could miss his guess. But as contemporary evidence of the role guaranteed to the States, No. 45 justifies quotation at some length:}} {{smaller block|“The State governments will have the advantage of the Federal Government, whet her we compare them in respect to the immediate dependence of the one on the other; to the weight of personal influence which each side will possess; to the powers respectively vested in them to the predilection and probable support of the people; to the disposition and faculty of resisting and frustrating the measures of each other.}} {{smaller block|“The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the Federal Government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. Even the House of Representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the State legislatures. Thus, each of the principal branches of the Federal Government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing toward them. On the other side, the component parts of the State governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the Federal Government, and very little, if at all, to the local influence of its members.}} {{smaller block|“The number of individuals employed under the Constitution of the United States will be much smaller than the number employed under the particular States. There will consequently be less of personal influence on the side or the former than of the latter. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments of 13 and more States, the justices of peace, officers of militia, ministerial officers of justice, with all the county, corporation, and town officers, for 3 millions and more of people, intermixed, and having particular acquaintance with every class and circle of people, must exceed, beyond all proportion, both in number and influence, those of every description who will be employed in the administration of the Federal system. Compare the members of the three great departments of the 13 States, excluding from the judiciary department the justices of peace, with the members of the corresponding departments of the single government of the Union; compare the militia officers of 3 millions of people with the military and marine officers of any establishment which is within the compass of probability, or, I may add, of possibility, and in this view alone, we may pronounce the advantage of the States to be decisive.}} {{smaller block|“If the Federal Government is to have collectors of revenue, the State governments will have theirs also. And as those of the former will be principally on the seacoast, and not very numerous, whilst those of the latter will be spread over the face of the country, and will be very numerous, the advantage in this view also lies on the same side. It is true, that the confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union·, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.}} {{smaller block|“The operations of the Federal Government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the Federal Government. The more adequate, indeed, the Federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.}} {{smaller block|“If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy and candor, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of new powers to the union, than in the invigoration of its original powers. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the Articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them.”}} {{smaller block|Even John Marshall, who did more than any man in our history to aggrandize the Federal Government and to weaken the States, never doubted the basic structure of divided powers. Consider, briefly, his comment in the famed case of ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland''. The case arose when Congress established the Bank of the United States, and Maryland undertook to levy a tax upon the bank’s Baltimore branch; James McCulloch, the cashier, refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued.}} {{smaller block|The legal questions were two: Did Congress have power to incorporate the bank, and secondly, did Maryland have power to tax it? Marshall answered the first one “Yes,” the second, “No.” With the bulk of his reasoning, strict constructionists and apostles of States rights will disagree: Marshall’s sophisticated mind did not boggle at stretching “necessary” to mean “convenient.” In considering the actual act of ratification by which the Union was formed, Marshall was not much impressed by the fact, which he could not escape, that the people met in State conventions. “Where else should they have assembled?” he asked. But even here, a couple of sentences merit quotation as evidence from the States greatest detractor:}} {{smaller block|“It is true, [the people] assembled in their several States—and where else should they have assembled? No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall went on in his opinion to confuse “States” and “State governments,” thus setting up a convenient strawman to batter down. No one ever had contended that the Constitution was ratified by State governments, but Marshall, with a glittering display of intellectual swordsmanship, neatly skewered the nonexistent objection. Then he went on to say:}} {{smaller block|“This Government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was pending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted. But the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising, and will probably continue to arise, as long as our system shall exist.”}} {{smaller block|True enough, the question of “the extent of powers” does continue to arise to this day, though the doctrines of Marshall have so pervaded public thinking that it often is forgotten that the Federal Government has any limitations whatever. But the separateness of the States and the nature of their delegated powers were clearly recognized when the Constitution was created. The prophets who foresaw the trend toward consolidation—notably Patrick Henry and George Mason—were told they were old women, seeing ghosts.}} {{smaller block|Consider, if you will, the debate on ratification in Virginia. The transcript offers some absorbing reading. If the clash of a Henry and a Mason with a Pendleton and a Madison does not prompt reflection upon subsequent corruption of the Constitution, at the very least their battle must lead to regrets at the decline in the quality of today’s legislative debates. There were giants in those days. This was, to paraphrase Marshall, a Constitution they were debating. What was said of the relationship of the States and the Federal Government?}} {{smaller block|Go back in time. This was a sultry summer in Richmond. At least twice the brief convention was interrupted by thunder storms so severe the delegates were forced to recess. Tempers flared sharply. At one point Edmund Randolph, infuriated with Patrick Henry, was prepared to let their friendship “fall like Lucifer, never to rise again.” They began on Monday, June 2; they adjourned ''sine die'' on Friday, June 27. Into those 4 weeks, the Virginians of 1788 packed a world of profound reflection upon the meaning and intention of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Edmund Pendleton served as president of the Virginia convention. He was a remarkable man: lawyer, scholar, statesman, thinker. In advocating ratification, Pendleton was joined by James Madison, John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, and Light Horse Harry Lee. They carried the day against Patrick Henry and George Mason, as leading opponents of the proposition.}} {{smaller block|The convention scarcely had begun before Henry established the broad spread of argument. He did not propose to abide by any parliamentary decision to debate one clause at a time. Before the convention in Philadelphia the previous summer, said Henry, a general peace and a universal tranquillity had prevailed. Now he was “extremely uneasy at the proposed change of government.” He swept the room with a cold eye: “Be extremely cautious, watchful, jealous of your liberty. Instead of securing your rights, you may lose them forever.”}} {{smaller block|George Mason came to his side. He charged that the new Constitution would create “a national government, and no longer a confederation.” He especially denounced the authority proposed in the general government to levy direct taxes. This power, being at the discretion of Congress and unconfined, “and without any kind of control, must carry everything before it.” “The idea of a consolidated government,” he said, “is totally subversive of every principle which has hitherto governed us. This power is calculated to annihilate totally the State governments. * * * These two concurrent powers cannot exist long together; the one will destroy the other; the general government, being paramount to and in every respect more powerful than the State governments, the latter must give way to the former.”}} {{smaller block|Then Mason voiced the argument that is as applicable in the mid-20th century as it was toward the end of the 18th:}} {{smaller block|“Is it to be supposed that one national government will suit so extensive a country, embracing so many climates, and containing inhabitants so very different in manners, habits, and customs? It is ascertained, by history, that there never was a government over a very extensive country without destroying the liberties of the people. * * * Popular governments can only exist in small territories.”}} {{smaller block|On Thursday, June 5, Pendleton undertook to respond to Henry and to Mason. Was the proposed government, he inquired, truly a consolidated government? Of course not. “If this be such a government, I will confess, with my worthy friend, that it is inadmissible. * * *” The proposed Federal Government, he said, “extends to the general purposes of the Union. It does not intermeddle with the local, particular affairs of the States. * * * It is the interest of the Federal to preserve the State governments; upon the latter the existence of the former depends. * * * I wonder how any gentleman, reflecting on the subject, could have conceived an idea of the possibility of the latter.”}} {{smaller block|Henry conceived it. He conceived it very clearly. The proposed Constitution, he felt, was “extremely pernicious, impolitic and dangerous.” He saw no jeopardy to the people in the Articles of Confederation; he saw great jeopardy in this new Constitution. And he had this to say:}} {{smaller block|“We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation. We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: By that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, ts about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism.”}} {{smaller block|And note this prophetic observation:}} {{smaller block|“There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?”}} {{smaller block|What indeed? What have these ideal checks and balances availed the States in the 20th century? Henry saw the empty prospect: “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints toward monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American?”}} {{smaller block|It was monarchy, ''per se'', that Henry foresaw. And it was despotism at the hands of a general government that he feared.}} {{smaller block|“What are your checks in this Government?” he kept asking.}} {{smaller block|No one ever answered him accurately, though half a dozen members of the Convention undertook to refute Henry and to allay his apprehensions. Randolph, replying to the objection that the country soon would be too large for effective government from the capital, commented that “no extent on earth seems to me too great,” but he added, “provided the laws be wisely made and executed.” It has proved to be a large qualification.}} {{smaller block|Madison also responded to Henry’s general objection that the liberty of the people was in danger: “Since the general civilization of mankind,” he said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.”}} {{smaller block|Follow closely what Madison had to say next. He is expounding the relationship of the State and Federal Governments as he, above all men, understood it:}} {{smaller block|“Give me leave to say something of the nature of the Government. * * * There are a number of opinions; but the principal question is, whether it be a federal or consolidated government. In order to judge properly of the question before us, we must consider it minutely in its principal parts. I conceive myself that it is of a mixed nature; it is in a manner unprecedented; we cannot find one express example in the experience of the world. It stands by itself. In some respects it is a government of a federal nature; in others it is of a consolidated nature. * * * Who are parties to it?”}} {{smaller block|Note this, especially; it was quoted earlier, but it bears repetition:}} {{smaller block|“The people—but not the people as composing one great body; but the people as composing 13 sovereignties.”}} {{smaller block|Francis Corbin, one of the ablest political students of his time, then joined Madison, in soothing the growing fear that the Federal Government might one day absorb the State Governments. “The powers of the General Government,” he said, “are only of a general nature, and their object is to protect, defend, and strengthen the United States; but the internal administration of government is left to the State legisiatures, who exclusively retain such powers as will give the States the advantages of small republics, without the danger commonly attendant on the weakness of such governments.”}} {{smaller block|Henry, undaunted, straightened his red wig and returned to the debate. “That government is no more than a choice among evils,” he remarked, “is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages.” He could not accept the idea that this new government would be “a mighty benefit to us.”}} {{smaller block|“Sir, I am made of so incredulous materials, that assertions and declarations do not satisfy me. I must be convinced, sir. I shall retain my infidelity on that subject till I see our liberties secured in a manner perfectly satisfactory to my understanding.”}} {{smaller block|This exchange occurred on Friday, June 16. The following Monday, Henry renewed his assault:}} {{smaller block|“A number of characters, of the greatest eminence in this country, object to this government for its consolidating tendency. This is not imaginary. It is a formidable reality. If consolidation proves to be as mischievous to this country as it has been to other countries, what will the poor inhabitants of this country do? This government will operate like an ambuscade. It will destroy the State governments, and swallow the liberties of the people, without giving previous notice.”}} {{smaller block|Madison came back with fresh replies and new remonstrances. The States were safely protected, he assured the Virginia convention. And renewing the arguments he had advanced in the Federalist, “There will be an irresistible bias toward the State governments.” It was utterly improbable—almost impossible—that the Federal Government ever would encroach upon the States. “The means of influence consist in having the disposal of gifts and emoluments, and in the number of persons employed by and dependent upon a government. Will any gentleman compare the number of persons which will be employed in the General Government with the number of those which will be in the State governments? The number of dependents upon the State governments will be infinitely greater than those on the General Government. I may say, with truth, that there never was a more economical government in any age or country, nor which will require fewer hands, or give less influence.”}} {{smaller block|Pendleton again gained the floor to tackle Henry’s objection. We are told, he said, “that there will be a war between the two bodies equally our representatives, and that the State government will be destroyed, and consolidated into the General Government. I stated before, that this could not be so. The two governments act in different manners, and for different purposes—the General Government in great national concerns, in which we are interested in common with other members of the Union; the State legislature in our mere local concerns. * * * Our dearest rights—life, liberty and property—as Virginians, are still in the hands of our State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Patrick Henry remained unconvinced. His opinion and Madison’s were “diametrically opposite.” The mild-mannered Madison said the States would prevail. Henry, a dramatic and eloquent speaker, feared the Federal Government would prevail. Bring forth the Federal allurements, he cried, “and compare them with the poor, contemptible things that the State legislatures can bring forth. * * * There are rich, fat, Federal emoluments. Your rich, smug, fine, fat, Federal officers—the number of collectors of taxes and excises—will outnumber anything from the States. Who can cope with the excise man and the tax men?”}} {{smaller block|Henry did not imagine that the dual governments could be kept each within its proper orbit. “I assert that there is danger of interference,” he remarked, “because no line is drawn between the powers of the two governments, in many instances; and where there is a line, there is no check to prevent the one from encroaching upon the powers of the other. I therefore contend that they must interfere, and that this interference must subvert the State government as being less powerful. Unless your government have checks, it must inevitably terminate in the destruction of your privileges.”}} {{smaller block|William Grayson, burly veteran of the Revolution, was another member of the Virginia convention who clearly perceived the absence of effective checks and balances. “Power ought to have such checks and limitations,” he said, “as to prevent bad men from abusing it. It ought to be granted on a supposition that men will be bad; for it may eventually be so.”}} {{smaller block|Grayson was here discussing his apprehensions toward the powers vested by article III in the Supreme Court of the United States. “This Court,” he protested, “has more power than any court under heaven.” The Court’s appellate jurisdiction, especially, aroused his alarm: “What has it in view, unless to subvert the State governments?”}} Mr. President, only in the past few months this Court rendered a decision which struck down the sedition statutes in 48 States and two Territories, merely because the Federal Government had a statute on sedition. The Supreme Court held that because of that fact, the Federal Government had preempted the whole field, and struck down the State statutes on sedition. Sedition means overthrowing the Government. That is the practical effect of it. Steve Nelson, in Pennsylvania, was convicted under Pennsylvania law. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, and the Court turned him loose, on the ground that when the Federal sedition statute was enacted, that statute preempted the field. Thus it struck down all the State statutes on the subject. Forty-two States and two Territories had statutes on the subject. Judge Howard Smith, in the House, who was the author of the bill, said there was no such intention on his part when he introduced the bill. There was even a provision in the bill that the State laws should not be affected. Yet the Supreme Court struck down the sedition statutes in 42 States and two Territories. Nine men overruled the legislatures of 42 States, and would have overruled the supreme courts in 42 States if their statutes had been tested. In New York, a man named Slochower was employed by the City College of New York. The charter of the City College provides that if any schoolteacher takes refuge behind the fifth amendment, upon being asked by an official body about his Communist connections, he shall be automatically dismissed. He was questioned by an official body. He was automatically dismissed. But what happened? The Supreme Court reinstated him in his job. City College of New York cannot control its own faculty because of these nine men in Washington. Forty-eight State legislatures cannot have sedition statutes because of these nine men in Washington. Out in New Mexico a man applied for membership in the bar. A similar situation occurred in California. One of the men was admittedly a former Communist. The bar did not want him to become a member. Certainly the bar board should have discretion enough to determine whether a man had the character to be admitted. The board turned him down. In the other case the man refused to answer questions about his Communist connections. Both of those men—one a former Communist, the other tied in with the Communists—were refused licenses to practice law, one in New Mexico and the other in California. But the nine men comprising the Supreme Court ordered those boards to give the applicants their licenses. Also, in California there were 14 Communists convicted of actually organizing Communist cells. They were preaching the doctrine of communism. They were convicted in the California court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. What did that Court do? It turned five of them loose and gave the other nine a new trial. It virtually held, in fact, that one can preach communism all he wants to. So long as the organizing does not begin until a future day, it will be all right. In other words, there would have to be action to put it into effect immediately under the holding of the Court. How are we going to protect this Government? How is the FBI going to protect it? How are the people of California going to protect it when they catch people who are actually organizing Communist cells and who are advocating communism and preaching communism, and then the Supreme Court turns them loose, laying down a dangerous doctrine—and it is a dangerous doctrine to which I just referred. Then there is the Watkins case, Mr. President, which has hampered investigations by the Congress. The Supreme Court handed down a decision after Watkins had been convicted of contempt and turned him loose. The Court, in effect, held that a member of the counsel or someone who wanted to ask questions would have to explain the questions to the witness. A smart witness would never admit he understood or comprehended what was meant. In the city of Washington, Mr. President, one of the most dangerous decisions, I think, that has ever been handed down involved the man Mallory, who raped a white woman. He was caught the next day. He was caught about 2 o’clock. Along about 8 or 9 o’clock he was given a lie-detector test, and he confessed the crime and admitted that he raped the white woman. The officers could not get hold of the United States Commissioner that night, and had to wait until the next morning, about 9 o’clock. They held the admitted criminal from about 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, and in the meantime he gave a confession to the police in Washington. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. He had confessed his crime. But the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. What did those nine men do with it? They reversed the decision and said the police had held the man too long. What is going to happen in this Nation if police officers cannot hold criminals from 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, especially when those criminals have confessed to their crimes? Heretofore in judicial administration there has been no particular time fixed. A person could be held a reasonable time before arraignment. Under this decision the man would have to confess at just about the time he was arrested, because the Supreme Court held that after he is arrested he is under coercion; and because he was held that short time the Supreme Court reversed the case, and the district attorney said there would not be any use to try it again; that the evidence depended on the confession. As a result of that case, the Chief of Police in Washington said it would be very difficult to apprehend and detect criminals and arrest them hereafter and be able to make the evidence stand up in court. He called it a terrible handicap to law enforcement in such cases. Mr. President, there are other decisions the Supreme Court has handed down about which I should like to tell the Senate. The Court seems to get its greatest delight out of turning loose Communists. The record is disgraceful. The FBI, the law-enforcement agencies, police officers chase down Communists and narcotic people—and they are hard to catch. Then the Supreme Court reverses decisions and turns them loose and they walk the streets, as did the confessed rapist who was sentenced on his own confession. It is a disgrace to this Nation. Mr. President, I still think this compromise bill is unconstitutional, but with the present Supreme Court no one can predict what they will do about it. {{smaller block|It was John Marshall, who 15 years later would do so much to justify Mason’s apprehensions, who undertook to allay his fears now.

THE STATES RATIFY}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, Virginia ratified. It was a close vote. A motion to postpone ratification until amendments, in the nature of a bill of rights, could be considered by “the other States in the American confederacy,” failed by 88 to 80. Then the main question was put, and this was what Virginia agreed to. It merits careful reading:}} {{smaller block|“We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, * * * having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will; that, therefore, no right, of any denomination, can be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by the Congress, by the Senate or House of Representatives, acting in any capacity, by the President, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances in which power is given by the Constitution for those purposes; and that, among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|The vote on that main question was 89 to 79, but even that narrow margin of approval was predicated upon a gentlemen’s agreement that the Virginia convention would recommend a number of amendments, in the form of a Bill of Rights, to be presented to the first Congress. And the first of these recommended amendments reads: “That each State in the Union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|By the time Virginia completed ratification, of course her decision no longer carried compelling importance. The Virginia convention had opened on June 2, not quite 2 weeks after South Carolina, on May 23, had become the eighth State to ratify. But while the Virginians were debating the issue, New Hampshire, on June 21, had become No. 9: The new union had been formed, and the Constitution had become binding upon the nine States “ratifying the same.” It has ever been Virginia’s fate to make the right decisions, but to put off making them as long as possible.}} {{smaller block|In this consideration of State and Federal relationships, there is something to be learned from the other resolutions of ratification. The easy ones came first: Delaware came first, on December 7, 1787, “fully, freely, and entirely” approving and assenting to the Constitution; and then, in quick succession, Pennsylvania on December 12, after a bitter fight; New Jersey on December 18, and Georgia—Georgians had not even read the Constitution—on January 2, 1788. Connecticut followed a week later, with a comfortable vote of 128 to 40.}} {{smaller block|Then a month’s hiatus set in. Massachusetts did not become No. 6 until February 7, and her approval of this “explicit and solemn compact” was not unqualified:}} {{smaller block|“It is the opinion of this convention that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this commonwealth, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|It will come as no surprise that the very first amendment recommended by Massachusetts was “that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States to be by them exercised.”}} {{smaller block|Two months later, on April 28, Maryland ratified. Then there was another lapse of nearly a month before South Carolina, on May 23, became No. 8; South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.” Then South Carolina added:}} {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} {{smaller block|New Hampshire, in voting its approval on June 21, closely paralleled the action of Massachusetts, but New Hampshire’s declaration as to reserved powers was even more explicit. The people of New Hampshire wanted it understood that all powers not “expressly and particularly delegated” were reserved.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield. Mr. LANGER. Was the action of the South Carolina convention unanimous? [Laughter.] Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall, from reading the history of that matter, whether it was unanimous or not. The action of the South Carolina convention was not unanimous when it acted on the question of adopting the resolution of ratification for the admission of South Carolina to the Union. South Carolina was the eighth State to be admitted to the Union. New Hampshire was the ninth. New Hampshire’s action resulted in the formation of the Union; ratification by nine States was required in order to form the Union. After that, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution and became members of the Union. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I am not sure whether the action by the South Carolina convention was unanimous or not. Mr. LANGER. I know the Senator from South Carolina, who has been a very distinguished governor of his State, is very well informed in regard to such matters. Mr. THURMOND. As stated in the book, The Sovereign States— {{smaller block|South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.”}} Then South Carolina added: {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} I construe that declaration to be part of the resolution of ratification, which was not adopted unanimously. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have been glad, Mr. President, to have the Senator from North Dakota ask these questions. Mr. President, a few years ago, when I was a young State senator, I made a commencement address in another county, about 40 miles from my home. The commencement was held in a long school building in which the acoustics were very bad. People in the rear could not hear, and looked as if they were going to sleep—and maybe they were. So I raised my voice, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that I am speaking for the future citizens of South Carolina.” By raising my voice, I woke up the people in the rear of the room; and one fellow rose up, shook his head, and said, “Well, brother, if you speak much longer, they will soon be here, too.” [Laughter.] Mr. President, I feel so good that I believe I could speak quite a long time. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I felt it my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort to emphasize the dangers of this bill. I began speaking at 8:50 last night. It is now 5 minutes after 9. I shall conclude my remarks in a very few minutes. Mr. President, in closing, I desire to remind the Senate that every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote; and the Federal Government has a statute which protects the right to vote. In my opinion, Mr. President, this bill is unconstitutional, for the reasons I have stated during this debate. This so-called compromise, which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives, permits a Federal judge to decide whether he will try one who is charged with criminal contempt, or whether he will permit him to be tried by a jury. The bill further provides a Federal judge with the discretionary power—if he does not try the person without a jury—to decide what punishment he will impose. If he imposes a fine greater than $300 or imprisonment for more than 45 days, the defendant can then demand a jury trial. That process could result in two trials in the case of a defendant charged with criminal contempt. I believe that would be unconstitutional. Under our system of jurisprudence, a man can never be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense. Furthermore, if a judge should find such a person guilty, as a result of the first trial, we can realize what effect that would have on the jury which would be used in the second trial. Mr. President, I should like to remind the Senate of the decision I have cited today, which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That decision says criminal contempt is a crime. The Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The Constitution makes no exceptions. The pending bill, which has come to the Senate from the House of Representatives, has now been amended in such a way that it could not conform to the Constitution. Mr. President, in spite of the great amount of debate and discussion which previously have taken place on the subject of House bill 6127, I felt that this bill was of such importance to the citizens of the United States that it was my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort again to emphasize the dangers of the bill. I have spoken several times on it before. Mr. President, I wish to say that my action was taken entirely on my own volition. I believe that every Senator must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in connection with such matters. I do not believe that the action of any other Senator should be judged according to the action I have taken. Mr. President, if I have helped to bring home to the American people, the citizens of this Nation, the heartfelt conviction which I hold, namely, that this bill is unwise, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, then I shall have done what I believe to be my duty. I should like to believe that some have been convinced by my arguments, and that my arguments have been accepted on the basis on which I intended them to be accepted—as arguments against what I am convinced is bad proposed legislation, proposed legislation which never should have been introduced, and which never should be approved by the Senate. Mr. President, I urge every Member of this body to consider this bill most carefully. I hope the Senate will see fit to kill it. I expect to vote against the bill. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to the officials of the Senate, to those who have come in to listen to this debate, to the various Senators who have listened to this debate from time to time; to the clerks and the attachés, and to all who did everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible during the 24 hours and 22 minutes I have spoken. Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for these courtesies, and again I want to thank the Presiding Officer and the others for their courtesies extended to me, and with this I now give up the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. SMATHERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the rollcall be rescinded.

Mr. President, earlier this morning we had scheduled speakers for the day, and attempted to estimate the number of speakers. In connection with the next speaker, we had estimated that we would reach him about 9 o’clock. We are running a little ahead of schedule. Therefore, there are no speakers available at this time. We do not desire to have a vote on the bill until every Senator has had an opportunity to express himself, and we do not wish to take advantage of any Senator, or inconvenience any Senator more than is necessary. Therefore I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess until 8:45 p. m. At 8:45 p. m. we will reconvene and I shall suggest the absence of a quorum. I assume that by 9 o’clock the speaker will be ready to proceed. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Texas? There being no objection, the Senate (at 7 o’clock and 38 minutes p. m.) took a recess until 8:45 p. m. {{c|{{sm|AFTER RECESS}}}} On the expiration of the recess, the Senate reassembled, when called to order by the Vice President.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise to speak against the so-called voting-right bill H. R. 6127, which bill was passed by the House of Representatives. It came to the Senate without being referred to a committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar, which is something unusual and out of ordinary procedure. The bill was then amended by the Senate and returned to the House, after which time the House amended it again by adopting what was called a compromise. The compromise as well as the bill is entirely unreasonable, and I hope that the Senate will not pass the bill. There are mainly three reasons why I feel the bill should not be passed. The first is that it is unnecessary. {{c|{{sm|STATE LEGISLATION PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS}}}} Every State has enacted some legislation making it unlawful to intimidate a voter or to hinder him in the exercising of his voting rights.

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Clark}} in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Chair cannot hear the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have read the election laws of every State in the Union, from Alabama to Wyoming, showing that the States now have, on their statute books and in their constitutions, provisions to protect the right to vote. The accuracy of the statutes which I have just recited is confirmed by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress. No one can say that any State, from Alabama through Wyoming, does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. The bill before the Senate is called a right-to-vote bill. Why is it called that? Every State has statutes to protect the right to vote. The sovereign States are protecting their citizens in the right to vote. Yet there is a big cry and a big hue about a voting law. As a matter of fact, the only thing that instigated this bill was the desire of both parties, the Democratic and the Republican, to play to minority votes. That is the purpose of the bill. It is purely political. Why do we need a Federal law when every State has a statute to protect the right to vote? And who is in a better position to protect the right to vote than the officials of the States? Suppose the voting laws of all the States were abrogated and violated. Does the Federal Government have a police system which would enable it to send officials into every State to police the election laws of every State? If so, it would change our entire conception of the Government of this Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written in 1789, in Philadelphia. It was ratified by nine Colonies which made them States and created the Union; 2 years later the Bill of Rights was adopted; and in the 10th amendment, which is a part of the Bill of Rights, it is provided that all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. There is nothing in the Constitution that delegates those powers to the Federal Government. Therefore, those rights are reserved to the States, and it is unlawful and unconstitutional for Congress to attempt to pass a law that will set up an administration which will attempt to bring about a policing of all the elections in all the 48 States of this Nation. Some persons say, “Well, the States won’t enforce the voting laws. We have got to have a Federal law. Some States deny the vote to citizens.” I question that. Has there been a single instance brought before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United States and proof presented that anyone has been denied the vote? From my understanding, and from the minority report which was submitted by some members of the Judiciary Committee, that has not been the case. So why does the Federal Government want to enter a field into which it has no constitutional authority to enter? As a matter of fact, the Federal Government already has a statute, I say to those who say the States are not protecting the right to vote. I am wondering if the Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives have overlooked the Federal statute. I shall read that statute, so that Senators can know that we now have a Federal statute to protect the right to vote. I shall read several provisions. The last one is the most applicable, and one on which I shall comment a little more, but I want to start with chapter 29 of title 18 of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. That is the United States Code, Criminal Code, and Criminal Procedure. Chapter 29 is entitled “Elections and Political Activities.” Section 591 reads: {{smaller block|Definitions:}} {{smaller block|When used in sections 597, 599, 602, 609, and 610 of this title—}} {{smaller block|The term “election” includes a general or special election, but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party.}} But under a decision of the Supreme Court, in a case which went up from my own State of South Carolina, it was held that the primary election was a part of the election machinery; and the decision was rendered on that subject. {{smaller block|The term “candidate” means an individual whose name is presented for election as Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress of the United States, whether or not such individual is elected;}} {{smaller block|The term “political committee” includes any committee, association, or organization which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the election of candidates or presidential and vice presidential electors (1) in two or more States, or (2) whether or not in more than one State if such committee, association, or organization (other than a duly organized State or local committee of a political party) is a branch or subsidiary of a national committee, association, or organization;}} {{smaller block|The term “contribution” includes a gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make a contribution, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “expenditure” includes a payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make an expenditure, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “person” or the term “whoever” includes an individual, partnership, committee, association, corporation, and any other organization or group of persons;}} {{smaller block|The term “State” includes Territory and possession of the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.)}} I shall now comment on section 594, which is entitled “Intimidation of Voters.” I cannot help but believe that Members of Congress in some way must have overlooked this statute, if they believe a Federal statute is essential on this subject, which I do not. This is the way the section reads: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 594. Intimidation of voters.}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} Mr. President, I do not think this statute is constitutional, in section 594, because I think the question is a matter reserved to the States. Since evidently there were people who thought the Federal Government did need to enter this field and who must have felt that it would not be unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enter it, this section was adopted. This section provides, as I have just read, for the punishment of anyone who attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. What is the purpose of the bill now under consideration, H. R. 6127? It is called the right-to-vote bill. The Federal statute here, in section 594 of title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, is just as plain on the subject as it can be. There is the Federal statute on the question of voting. I do not like it, because I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field, but we have the statute, in section 594. If there has been any violation of voting rights in this country, if there has been a single case of any person who claims that he has been intimidated or threatened or coerced to vote, the Federal Government has the power, under that statute, to punish anyone if he is convicted for such offense. Either this statute has not been enforced, if there have been violations, or else there have been no violations. So when the Federal Government asks that another voting law be passed, such as House bill 6127, it is admitting 1 of 2 things: Either there have been no violations of the rights of people to vote, or the Justice Department is not enforcing the law on this subject. I do not see what good it would do to enact another statute. What good would another statute do, if we have a statute already on the books? I have heard of no cases brought under this statute. There must not have been any violations. If there have been violations, the Federal Government has failed to prosecute violators, which it could do under this law. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 595.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 724; Aug. 25, 1950, ch. 784, sec. 2, 64 Stat. 475.)}} Mr. President, I have read those Federal statutes to show that we have in title 18, chapter 29, provision for elections and political activities, and the specific section to which I referred and attempted to emphasize, section 594, provides especially for the punishment of anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces any other person for interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. That is in the Federal statutes. Again I ask, Why does the Congress need to pass another law when we have a law, a law with teeth in it, a law that provides a punishment of as much as $1,000 or imprisonment for as long as one year, or both? In other words, under this statute, the Federal Government, through the Justice Department, can prosecute any person who intimidates, threatens, or coerces another person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. If we have that kind of law on the books now, why do we need another law? As I stated a few moments ago, I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field. But they have entered this field, and laws on the subject have been enacted. Section 594 gives the Federal Government all the authority it needs to protect the right to vote in any State of this Nation. Section 594 makes provision for specific punishment if anyone violates the section and attempts to deny the right to vote, or threatens, intimidates, or coerces one in his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. So with every State in the Nation having laws on the subject to protect the right to vote, and with the Federal Government having laws on this subject to protect the right to vote, why do we need to pass another bill, another bill which is unconstitutional, another bill which violates the Constitution of the United States? I will come to that later on in my address. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. I am going to take up after a while a decision which shows that criminal contempt is a crime, and if criminal contempt is a crime, then it falls within the category of the provision of the Constitution of the United States which says that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It does not specify by degree. If he is entitled to a jury trial, he is entitled to it. The Senate passed a bill with an amendment providing for jury trial. The bill went back to the House, the House amended it, and added a provision that the judge in his discretion could try the case if the punishment was not over 45 days or a fine of $300. That is not what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not provide that a man is entitled to a jury trial under certain conditions, if the House had fixed the fine at $1 instead of $300 and denied a man the right of a trial by jury, in my opinion it still would have been unconstitutional. I shall develop that more as my address goes on. Mr. President, I shall now take up specific points of the proposed compromise on the jury trial provisions of H. R. 6127, so as to point out the lack of constitutionality of the provisions in connection with contempt of court proceedings. A so-called compromise has been reached among advocates of civil-rights legislation—H. R. 6127—whereby a jury trial would be given in certain criminal contempts of Federal courts. The purpose of this speech is to point out the objectionable features of the proposed compromise and to show conclusively that it is unconstitutional. The proposed jury-trial amendment, being part V of H. R. 6127, reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|PART V—TO PROVIDE TRIAL BY JURY FOR PROCEEDINGS TO PUNISH CRIMINAL CONTEMPTS OF COURT ARISING OUT OF CIVIL-RIGHTS CASES AND TO AMEND THE JUDICIAL CODE RELATING TO FEDERAL JURY QUALIFICATIONS}}}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 151. In all cases of criminal contempt arising under the provisions of this act, the accused, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both: ''Provided, however'', That in case the accused is a natural person the fine to be paid shall not exceed the sum of $1,000, nor shall imprisonment exceed the term of 6 months: ''Provided further'', That in any such proceeding for criminal contempt, at the discretion of the judge, the accused may be tried with or without a jury: ''Provided further, however'', That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of the $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury, which shall conform as near as may be to the practice in other criminal cases.}} {{smaller block|This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders, or process of the court.}} {{smaller block|Nor shall anything herein or in any other provision of law be construed to deprive courts of their power, by civil contempt proceedings, without a jury, to secure compliance with or to prevent obstruction of, as distinguished from punishment for violations of, any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of the court in accordance with the prevailing usages of law and equity, including the power of detention.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 152. Section 1861, title 28, of the United States Code is hereby amended to read as follows:}} {{smaller block|“1861. Qualifications of Federal jurors.}} {{smaller block|“Any citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years and who has resided for a period of 1 year within the judicial district, is competent to serve as a grand or petit juror unless:}} {{smaller block|“(1) He has been convicted in a State or Federal court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty.}} {{smaller block|“(2) He is unable to read, write, speak, and understand the English language.}} {{smaller block|“(3) He is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmities, to render efficient jury service.”}} Mr. President, those are the provisions of the so-called compromise. I wish to have all other Members of the Senate and all other citizens of these United States know just what the compromise provides. First, Mr. President, this amendment is clearly unconstitutional because of vagueness. It is an established principle of constitutional law that crimes must be clearly defined. If this amendment were enacted, persons charged with contempt would be deprived of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th amendment to the Federal Constitution. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under a statute by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. This point is clearly brought out in Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, in the second edition, third volume, at page 1727. Here is what this great authority on the Constitution has to say on this point: {{smaller block|1142. Crimes must be clearly defined.}} {{smaller block|Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under statutes by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. “A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.” ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' (269 U. S. 385).}} The first sentence of the proposed amendment—section 151—refers to criminal contempt and provides for punishment upon conviction. The first ''proviso'' of the first sentence refers to natural persons; and for such natural persons, the fine is limited to $1,000 or—in the alternative—imprisonment is limited to 6 months. This first ''proviso'' is obviously drafted to bring the offense within the present definition of “misdemeanor,” as classified by the Congress in the adoption of title 18 of the United States Code on June 25, 1948. Section 1 of title 18, United States Code, classifies offenses against the United States as follows: {{smaller block|1. Offenses classified:}} {{smaller block|Notwithstanding any act of Congress to the contrary:}} {{smaller block|(1) Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year is a felony.}} {{smaller block|(2) Any other offense is a misdemeanor.}} {{smaller block|(3) Any misdemeanor, the penalty for which does not exceed imprisonment for a period of 6 months or a fine of not more than $500, or both, is a petty offense.}} The second ''proviso'' of the first sentence still refers to criminal contempt, and vests in the Federal district judge the discretion to determine whether the person accused of contempt is to be tried with or without a jury. The third proviso of the first sentence, still referring only to criminal contempts, says that where the district judge proceeds summarily—without benefit of a jury—to convict the accused and fine him or her for more than $300 or imprison him or her for more than 45 days, then the person so convicted—fined or imprisoned—may demand a trial ''de novo''. It is assumed that trial ''de novo'' contemplates a trial anew of the entire controversy, including the hearing of evidence, as though no previous action had been taken. In ''Pittsburgh S. S. Co.'' v. ''Brown'' ((1948 Ct. App. Ill.) 171 Fed. 2d. 175, 177), “trial ''de novo''” is defined as an entirely new trial, but that was a civil case. The term “trial ''de novo''” nowhere appears in criminal cases referred to in volume 42 A, Words and Phrases, 1952 edition or 1957 supplement. The second sentence of the amendment, without any reference to “criminal contempt” or without defining or differentiating between “criminal contempt” and “civil contempt,” proceeds to make the provisions of the first sentence inapplicable to those contempts “committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice” and likewise inapplicable to “misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.” In other words, this second sentence deals with certain “contempts” and with “misbehavior of any officers of the court” and excludes such “contempts” and “misbehavior of any officer of the court” from the provisions of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. In other words, the second sentence says that if any contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice, it is not dealt with in the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. Likewise excluded from coverage by the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127—would be “the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court” in respect to any writ, order, or process of court issued presumably under authority of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. The last sentence of the amendment—section 151—simply tries to restate the proposition now appearing in section 401 of title 18, United States Code, that a court of the United States has power to punish contempts of its authority. However, in restating that proposition, this last sentence refers to “civil contempts,” whereas section 401 refers to “contempt of its”—the court’s—“authority.” Thus we see the last sentence of the amendment, section 151, refers to “civil contempt,” as distinguished from the first sentence, which deals with “criminal contempt.” Nowhere in the amendment is any definition given of either “criminal contempt” or “civil contempt;” nor has Congress ever attempted to draw any such distinction. The sole provision attempting to draw a distinction between criminal and civil contempt is contained in rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in the requirement that the notice with respect to a criminal contempt shall describe it as such. The Advisory Committee on Rules, appointed by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the act of June 29, 1940—Fifty-fourth United States Statutes at Large, page 686—to assist in the preparation of rules of pleading, in their notes indicate that the requirement of notice written into rule 42 (b) was “intended to obviate the frequent confusion between criminal and civil contempt proceedings” pursuant to the suggestion made in ''McCann'' v. ''New York Stock Exchange'' ((2d Cir., 1935) 80 F. 2d 211). See Civil and Criminal Contempt in the Federal Courts, report of Los Angeles Bar Association, 17 Federal Rules Decisions 167–182—1955. The Supreme Court itself has belabored the distinction between civil and criminal contempts. For the Court’s distinction see ''Bessette'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' ((1904) 194 U.S. 324, 328). A contempt statute certainly comes within the due process of law requirements of the Constitution. To substantiate this point, I refer again to Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, page 1727, section 1141. In this section Willoughby points out that a contempt which is not committed in open court does require due process of law for the defendant. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, held on April 13, 1925, that all the guaranties of due process of law are available to a person charged with contempt. ''Cooke'' v. ''United States'' ((1925) 267 U.S. 517.) Thus it is quite clear that the amendment—section 151—as now drafted, would subject a person to criminal prosecution for a statutory offense so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable him to determine whether or not he is committing that offense. ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' ((1926) 269 U. S. 385); ''International Harvester Co.'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 216); ''Collins'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 634). Second. This amendment is unconstitutional, in violation of the fifth amendment prohibiting double jeopardy. That provision of the amendment which permits the accused to be tried a second time by a jury for the same offense following conviction in a summary proceeding violates the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” In ''ex parte'' Grossman the Supreme Court stated that contempt is an “offense” within the meaning of the pardoning power of the President granted in article II, section 2, clause 1 of the enumerated powers of the President. Clause 1 declares the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons of offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Chief Justice Taft in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1925) 267 U. S. 87, 107) quoting ''Myers'' v. ''United States'' ((1924) 264 U. S. 95, 104–105). If contempt is an offense when it comes to the pardoning power of the President, it certainly is an offense under the fifth amendment. Thus reading the language of the amendment—section 151—''in pari materia'' with the decisions in ''ex parte'' Grossman and ''Myers'' against ''United States'', for the Congress to grant a second trial following conviction, with the same defendant, the same charges, and the same evidence, would place the defendant in double jeopardy. The proposal—section 151—even if it were not in violation of the fifth amendment, would place Congress in the position of gambling with the rights of our citizens. Suppose a judge tries a man or woman and finds the person guilty. The press reports this fact to the public and such cases are bound to stir the public interest. The person so convicted is then tried again on the same evidence. Any jury is bound to be influenced. In addition, what basis or standard of conduct is to be the determining factor as to whether the judge imposes the lesser fine or sentence and lets his verdict stand or imposes the greater fine or punishment and moves the case along to a jury trial. There would be no uniformity in the application of the proposed statute—section 151—and the entire procedure would be awkward, cumbersome, and impracticable. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', a note is made of an interruption in Mr. Thurmond’s speech, regarding the results of a special election for a Senator, upon which several pages of the ''Record'' are used to record the reading of documents and the discussion of matters relevant thereto. As this is not a constituent portion of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, it is absent from this record. However, following this notice, several other parliamentary procedures are maintained, and other matters are dealt with; the ''Record'' then replaces the remainder of Mr. Thurmond’s speech to the records of the succeeding day, beginning on p. 16383. This record begins again from this section.'' Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I now wish to take up Chief Justice Taft’s opinion on jury trials in contempt cases. Considerable has been said about what Chief Justice Taft said concerning contempt and jury trials. Chief Justice Taft was at one time President of the United States, and he was Chief Justice of the United States. He was a great man and a great American. His opinions are highly revered, but some of his opinions have been quoted out of context or when not applicable. I wish to take up at this time his opinions on jury trials in contempt cases. On June 5, 1957, at his White House press conference, President Eisenhower, in answer to a question asked by the National Negro Press Association as to how he stood on the jury-trial amendment to the so-called civil-rights bill, quoted President Taft, as being opposed to a jury trial in contempt cases. President Eisenhower stated that Mr. Taft made this statement when he was President in 1908 and there is no evidence that he ever changed his mind. In the first place the statement was not made by Mr. Taft while President. The statement was made by Mr. Taft in a political speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 28, 1908, in acceptance of the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Taft at the time was Secretary of War. He did not become President until March 4, 1909. In this political speech Mr. Taft also said a trial by jury in contempt cases was never known in the history of the jurisprudence of England, or America, except in the constitution of Oklahoma. See Presidential Addresses and Papers, William H. Taft, 1910 ed., page 26. Also in this speech Mr. Taft said the popular impression that a judge, in punishing for contempt of his own order, may be affected by a personal feeling was unfounded. Did Mr. Taft change his mind when he became Chief Justice? He most assuredly did. He not only changed his mind on the subject of whether jury trials were had at common law in contempt cases but also changed his mind about judges having personal vindictiveness in contempt orders. While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Taft delivered the opinion in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1924) 267 U. S. 87) and cited eight cases at common law to show that in England a jury trial was had in contempt cases. This decision was rendered by him in upholding a pardon granted by President Hoover to a man imprisoned by a United States district judge in Illinois for contempt in a summary proceeding. Chief Justice Taft declared at page 118 of volume 267, United States Reports: {{smaller block|The King of England before our Revolution, in the exercise of his prerogative, had always exercised the power to pardon contempts of court, just as he did ordinary crimes and misdemeanors and as he has done to the present day. In the mind of a common-law lawyer of the 18th century the word pardon included within its scope the ending by the King’s grace of the punishment of such derelictions, whether it was imposed by the court without a jury or upon indictment, for both forms of trial for contempts were had. ''Thomas of Chartham'' v. ''Benet of Stamford'' ((1313), 24 Selden Society, 185); ''Fulwood'' v. ''Fulwood'' ((1585), Toothill, 46); ''Rex'' v. ''Buckenham'' ((1665), 1 Deble 751, 707, 852); Anonymous (1674), Cases in Chancery (238); ''King and Codrington'' v. ''Rodmap'' ((1630), Cr. Car. 198); ''Bartram'' v. ''Dannett'' ((1676), Finch, 253); ''Phipps'' v. ''Earl of Angelsea'' ((1721), 1 Peere Williams, 696).}} In all probability Mr. Taft was induced to recognize the fact that jury trials were customarily had at common law in contempts as a result of research conducted by the distinguished historian of English law, Mr. W. S. Holdsworth. The efforts of this great historian were first made public in 1909 after Mr. Taft had made his earlier statement. Mr. Holdsworth declared that the only cases in which contempts were punished summarily was where the contemnor confessed his guilt. If he did not confess the accused was tried by the ordinary course of law which meant trial by jury. To quote Mr. Holdsworth: {{smaller block|A History of English Law, volume III., pages 392–393. * * * But all through the medieval period, and long afterwards, the courts, though they might attack persons who were guilty of contempts of court, could not punish them summarily. Unless they confessed their guilt, they must be regularly indicted and convicted. Mr. Fox has given a list of 40 cases of various contempts—insults to the judges, an assault on the attorney general, beating jurors, striking a witness, trampling on a writ of prohibition—in all of which the offender was tried by the ordinary course of law. That this was the correct course to pursue was stated by Anderson, C. J., in 1599.}} In another opinion while Chief Justice Mr. Taft changed his mind about the immunity of Federal judges from vindictiveness in issuing contempt orders. On November 19, 1923, in a concurring opinion in ''Craig'' v. ''Hecht'' (263 U. S. 255 at p. 279), the Chief Justice said: {{smaller block|The delicacy there is in the judge’s deciding whether an attack upon his own judicial action is mere criticism or real obstruction, and the possibility that impulse may incline his view to personal vindication, are manifest. But the law gives the person convicted of contempt in such a case the right to have the whole question on facts and law reviewed by three judges of the circuit court of appeals who have had no part in the proceedings, and if not successful in that court, to apply to this Court for an opportunity for a similar review here.}} Mr. President, on June 10, 1957, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of [[Reid v. Covert (354 U.S. 1)|''Reid'' against ''Covert'']]. Since this opinion deals with the question “the right of trial by jury,” I think it is advisable for the Senate to consider this decision of the Supreme Court. I shall read a number of pages from the opinion and a concurring opinion by Justice Frankfurter. Some of the material in this opinion necessarily discusses the background of the cases. However, I believe it appropriate to read this material because it is necessary to a full understanding of this decision which upheld the constitutional right of trial by jury which H. R. 6127 would deny under certain conditions. I read from the opinion of the Court: {{smaller block|SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.''

They call into question the role of the military under our system of government. They involve the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States thereby depriving them of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. These cases are particularly significant because for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution wives of soldiers have been denied trial by jury in a court of law and forced to trial before courts-martial.}} {{smaller block|In No. 701 Mrs. Clarice Covert killed her husband, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, at an airbase in England. Mrs. Covert, who was not a member of the armed services, was residing on the base with her husband at the time. She was tried by a court-martial for murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The trial was on charges preferred by Air Force personnel and the court-martial was composed of Air Force officers. The court-martial asserted jurisdiction over Mrs. Covert under Article 2 (11) of the UCMJ, which provides:}} {{smaller block|“The following persons are subject to this code:}} {{smaller block|“(11) Subject to the provisions of any treaty or agreement to which the United States is or may be a party or to any accepted rule of international law, all persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces without the continental limits of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|Counsel for Mrs. Covert contended that she was insane at the time she killed her husband, but the military tribunal found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed by the Air Force Board of Reviews (16 CMR 465) but was reversed by the Court of Military Appeals (6 USCMA 48), because of prejudicial errors concerning the defense of insanity. While Mrs. Covert was being held in this country pending a proposed retrial by court-martial in the District of Columbia, her counsel petitioned the district court for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to set her free on the ground that the Constitution forbade her trial by military authorities. Construing this court’s decision in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), as holding that “a civilian is entitled to a civilian trial,” the district court held that Mrs. Covert could not be tried by court-martial and ordered her released from custody. The Government appealed directly to this court under, title 28, United States Code, section 1252. See Three Hundred and Fiftieth United States Reports, page 985.}} {{smaller block|In No. 713 Mrs. Dorothy Smith killed her husband, an Army officer, at a post in Japan where she was living with him. She was tried for murder by a court-martial and despite considerable evidence that she was insane was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The judgment was approved by the Army Board of Review (10 CMR 350, 13 CMR 307), and the Court of Military Appeals (5 USCMA 314). Mrs. Smith was then confined in a Federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Her father, respondent here, filed a petition for ''habeas corpus'' in a district court for West Virginia. The petition charged that the court-martial was without jurisdiction because article 2 (11) of the UCMJ was unconstitutional insofar as it authorized the trial of civilian dependents accompanying servicemen overseas. The district court refused to issue the writ (137 F. Supp. 806), and while an appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit we granted ''certiorari'' at the request of the Government (350 U. S. 986).}} {{smaller block|The two cases were consolidated and argued last term and a majority of the Court, with 3 Justices dissenting and 1 reserving opinion, held that military trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert for their alleged offenses was constitutional.

The majority held that the provisions of article III and the fifth and sixth amendments which require that crimes be tried by a jury after indictment by a grand jury did not protect an American citizen when he was tried by the American Government in foreign lands for offenses committed there and that Congress could provide for the trial of such offenses in any manner it saw fit so long as the procedures established were reasonable and consonant with due process. The opinion then went on to express the view that military trials, as now practiced, were not unreasonable or arbitrary when applied to dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces overseas. In reaching their conclusion the majority found it unnecessary to consider the power of Congress “to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces” under article I of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Subsequently, the Court granted a petition for rehearing. Three Hundred and Fifty-second United States Reports, page 901. Now, after further argument and consideration, we conclude that the previous decisions cannot be permitted to stand. We hold that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert could not constitutionally be tried by military authorities.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|I}}}} {{smaller block|At the beginning we reject the idea that when the United States acts against citizens abroad it can do so free of the Bill of Rights. The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution. When the Government reaches out to punish a citizen who is abroad, the shield which the Bill of Rights and other parts of the Constitution provide to protect his life and liberty should not be stripped away just because he happens to be in another land. This is not a novel concept. To the contrary, it is as old as government. It was recognized long before Paul successfully invoked his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in strict accordance with Roman law. And many centuries later an English historian wrote:}} {{smaller block|“In a settled colony the inhabitants have all the rights of Englishmen. They take with them, in the first place, that which no Englishman can by expatriation put off, namely, allegiance to the Crown, the duty of obedience to the lawful commands of the Sovereign, and obedience to the laws which Parliament may think proper to make with reference to such a colony. But, on the other hand, they take with them all the rights and liberties of British subjects; all the rights and liberties as against the prerogative of the Crown, which they would enjoy in this county.”}} {{smaller block|The rights and liberties which citizens of our country enjoy are not protected by custom and tradition alone, they have been jealously preserved from the encroachments of Government by express provisions of our written Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Among those provisions, article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments are directly relevant to these cases. Article III, section 2, lays down the rule that—}} {{smaller block|“The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth amendment declares:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|And the sixth amendment provides:}} {{smaller block|“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”}} {{smaller block|The language of article III, section 2, manifests that constitutional protections for the individual were designed to restrict the United States Government when it acts outside of this country, as well as here at home. After declaring that all criminal trials must be by jury, the section states that when a crime is “not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” If this language is permitted to have its obvious meaning, section 2 is applicable to criminal trials outside of the States as a group without regard to where the offense is committed or the trial held. From the very first Congress, Federal statutes have implemented the provisions of section 2 by providing for trial of murder and other crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of any State “in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may first be brought.” The fifth and sixth amendments, like article III, section 2, are also all inclusive with their sweeping references to “no person” and to “all criminal prosecutions.”}} {{smaller block|This Court and other Federal courts have held or asserted that various constitutional limitations apply to the Government when it acts outside the continental United States. While it has been suggested that only those constitutional rights which are “fundamental” protect Americans abroad, we can find no warrant, in logic or otherwise, for picking and choosing among the remarkable collection of “Thou shalt nots” which were explicitly fastened on all departments and agencies of the Federal Government by the Constitution and its amendments. Moreover, in view of our heritage and the history of the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it seems peculiarly anomalous to say that trial before a civilian judge and by an independent jury picked from the common citizenry are not fundamental rights. As Blackstone wrote in his Commentaries:}} {{smaller block|“The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * [I]t is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals.”}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} {{smaller block|The keystone of supporting authorities mustered by the Court’s opinion last June to justify its holding that article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments did not apply abroad was ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). The Ross case is one of those cases that cannot be understood except in its peculiar setting; even then, it seems highly unlikely that a similar result would be reached to-day. Ross was serving as a seaman on an American ship in Japanese waters. He killed a ship’s officer, was seized and tried before a consular court in Japan. At that time, statutes authorized American consuls to try American citizens charged with committing crimes in Japan and certain other non-Christian countries. These statutes provided that the laws of the United States were to govern the trial except:}} {{smaller block|“Where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.”}} {{smaller block|The consular power approved in the Ross case was about as extreme and absolute as that of the potentates of the non-Christian countries to which the statutes applied. Under these statutes consuls could and did make the criminal laws, initiate charges, arrest alleged offenders, try them, and after conviction take away their liberty or their life—sometimes at the American consulate. Such a blending of executive, legislative, and judicial powers in one person or even in one branch of the Government is ordinarily regarded as the very acme of absolutism. Nevertheless, the Court sustained Ross’ conviction by the consul. It stated that constitutional protections applied “only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad.” Despite the fact that it upheld Ross’ conviction under United States laws passed pursuant to asserted constitutional authority, the Court went on to make a sweeping declaration that “[t]he Constitution can have no operation in another country.”}} {{smaller block|The Ross approach that the Constitution has no applicability abroad has long since been directly repudiated by numerous cases. That approach is obviously erroneous if the United States Government, which has no power except that granted by the Constitution, can and does try citizens for crimes committed abroad. Thus the Ross case rested, at least in substantial part, on a fundamental misconception and the most that can be said in support of the result reached there is that the consular court jurisdiction had a long history antedating the adoption of the Constitution. The Congress has recently buried the consular system of trying Americans. We are not willing to jeopardize the lives and liberties of Americans by disinterring it. At best, the Ross case should be left as a relic from a different era.}} {{smaller block|The Court’s opinion last term also relied on the Insular Cases to support its conclusion that article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments were not applicable to the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. We believe that reliance was misplaced.}} {{smaller block|The Insular Cases can be distinguished from the present cases in that they involved the power of Congress to provide rules and regulations to govern temporarily territories with wholly dissimilar traditions and institutions whereas here the basis for governmental power is American citizenship. None of these cases had anything to do with military trials and they cannot properly be used as vehicles to support an extension of military jurisdiction to civilians. Moreover, it is our judgment that neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our Government. If our foreign commitments become of such nature that the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority, or inclination, to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|II}}}} {{smaller block|At the time of Mrs. Covert’s alleged offense, an executive agreement was in effect between the United States and Great Britain which permitted United States military courts to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over offenses committed in Great Britain by American servicemen or their dependents. For its part, the United States agreed that these military courts would be willing and able to try and to punish all offenses against the laws of Great Britain by such persons. In all material respects, the same situation existed in Japan when Mrs. Smith killed her husband. Even though a court-martial does not give an accused trial by jury and other Bill of Rights protections, the Government contends that section 2(11) of the UCMJ, insofar as it authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces in Great Britain and Japan, can be sustained as legislation which is necessary and proper to carry out the United States obligations under the international agreements made with those countries. The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI., the supremacy clause of the Constitution, declares:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.”}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in article VI. make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in pursuance of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe article VI. as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and the Senate combined.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. For example, in ''Geofroy'' v. ''Riggs'' (133 U. S. 258, 267), it declared:}} {{smaller block|“The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the Government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the Government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.”}} {{smaller block|This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in ''Missouri'' v. ''Holland'' (252 U. S. 416), which is contrary to the position taken here. There the Court carefully noted that the treaty involved was not inconsistent with any specific provision of the Constitution. The Court was concerned with the 10th amendment which reserves to the States or the people all power not delegated to the National Government. To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their power to the National Government and the 10th amendment is no barrier.}} {{smaller block|In summary, we conclude that the Constitution in its entirety applied to the trials of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. Since their court-martial did not meet the requirements of article III., section 2, or the fifth and sixth amendments, we are compelled to determine if there is anything within the Constitution which authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces overseas.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|III}}}} {{smaller block|Article I., section 8, clause 14, empowers Congress “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” It has been held that this creates an exception to the normal method of trial in civilian courts as provided by the Constitution and permits Congress to authorize military trial of members of the armed services without all the safeguards given an accused by article III. and the Bill of Rights. But if the language of clause 14 is given its natural meaning, the power granted does not extend to civilians—even though they may be dependents living with servicemen on a military base. The term “land and naval forces” refers to persons who are members of the armed services and not to their civilian wives, children, and other dependents. It seems inconceivable that Mrs. Covert or Mrs. Smith could have been tried by military authorities as members of the land and naval forces had they been living on a military post in this country. Yet this constitutional term surely has the same meaning everywhere. The wives of servicemen are no more members of the land and naval forces when living at a military post in England or Japan than when living at a base in this country or in Hawaii or Alaska.}} {{smaller block|The Government argues that the necessary and proper clause, when taken in conjunction with clause 14, allows Congress to authorize the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert by military tribunals and under military law. The Government claims that the two clauses together constitute a broad grant of power without limitation authorizing Congress to subject all persons, civilians and soldiers alike, to military trial if necessary and proper to govern and regulate the land and naval forces. It was on a similar theory that Congress once went to the extreme of subjecting persons who made contracts with the military to court-martial jurisdiction with respect to frauds related to such contracts. In the only judicial test a Circuit Court held that the legislation was patently unconstitutional. ''Ex parte'' Henderson (11 Fed. Cas. 1067, No. 6349).}} {{smaller block|It is true that the Constitution expressly grants Congress power to make all rules necessary and proper to govern and regulate those persons who are serving in the land and naval forces. But the necessary and proper clause cannot operate to extend military jurisdiction to any group of persons beyond that class described in clause 14—“the land and naval forces.” Under the grand design of the Constitution civilian courts are the normal repositories of power to try persons charged with crimes against the United States. And to protect persons brought before these courts, article III. and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments establish the right to trial by jury, by indictment by a grand jury, and a number of other specific safeguards. By way of contrast the jurisdiction of military tribunals is a very limited and extraordinary jurisdiction derived from the cryptic language in article I., section 8, and, at most, was intended to be only a narrow exception to the normal and preferred method of trial in courts of law. Every extension of military jurisdiction is an encroachment on the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and, more important, acts as a deprivation of the right to jury trial and of other treasured constitutional protections. Having run up against the steadfast bulwark of the Bill of Rights, the necessary and proper clause cannot extend the scope of clause 14.}} {{smaller block|Nothing said here contravenes the rule laid down in ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, at 421), that:}} {{smaller block|“Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.”}} {{smaller block|In McCulloch this Court was confronted with the problem of determining the scope of the necessary and proper clause in a situation where no specific restraints on governmental power stood in the way. Here the problem is different. Not only does clause 14, by its terms, limit military jurisdiction to members of the land and naval forces, but article III., section 2 and the fifth and sixth amendments require that certain express safeguards, which were designed to protect persons from oppressive governmental practices, shall be given in criminal prosecutions—safeguards which cannot be given in a military trial. In the light of these as well as other constitutional provisions, and the historical background in which they were formed, military trial of civilians is inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the constitution.}} {{smaller block|Further light is reflected on the scope of clause 14 by the fifth amendment. That amendment which was adopted shortly after the Constitution reads:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|Since the exception in this amendment for cases arising in the land or naval forces was undoubtedly designed to correlate with the power granted Congress to provide for the government and regulation of the armed services, it is a persuasive and reliable indication that the authority conferred by clause 14 does not encompass persons who cannot fairly be said to be in the military service.}} {{smaller block|Even if it were possible, we need not attempt here to precisely define the boundary between civilians and members of the land and naval forces. We recognize that there might be circumstances where a person could be in the armed services for purposes of clause 14 even though he had not formally been inducted into the military or did not wear a uniform. But the wives, children, and other dependents of servicemen cannot be placed in that category, even though they may be accompanying a serviceman abroad at Government expense and receiving other benefits from the Government. We have no difficulty in saying that such persons do not lose their civilian status and their right to a civilian trial because the Government helps them live as members of a soldier’s family.}} {{smaller block|The tradition of keeping the military subordinate to civilian authority may not be so strong in the minds of this generation as it was in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. The idea that the relatives of soldiers could be denied a jury trial in a court of law and instead be tried by courts-martial under the guise of regulating the Armed Forces would have seemed incredible to those men, in whose lifetime the right of the military to try soldiers for any offenses in time of peace had only been grudgingly conceded. The founders envisioned the Army as a necessary institution, but one dangerous to liberty if not confined within its essential bounds. Their fears were rooted in history. They knew that ancient republics had been overthrown by their military leaders. They were familiar with the history of 17th century England, where Charles I. tried to govern through the army and without Parliament. During this attempt, contrary to the common law, he used courts-martial to try soldiers for certain nonmilitary offenses. This court-martialing of soldiers in peacetime evoked strong protests from Parliament. The reign of Charles I. was followed by the rigorous military rule of Oliver Cromwell. Later, James II. used the army in his fight against Parliament and the people. He promulgated articles of war (strangely enough relied on in the Government’s brief) authorizing the trial of soldiers for nonmilitary Crimes by courts-martial. This action hastened the revolution that brought William and Mary to the throne upon their agreement to abide by a bill of rights which, among other things, protected the right of trial by jury. It was against this general background that two of the greatest English jurists, Lord Chief Justice Hale and Sir William Blackstone—men who exerted considerable influence on the founders—expressed sharp hostility to any expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. For instance, Blackstone went so far as to assert:}} {{smaller block|“For martial law, which is built upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Hale observes, in truth and reality no law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the {{SIC|ony|only}} thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.”}} {{smaller block|The generation that adopted the Constitution did not distrust the military because of past history alone. Within their own lives they had seen royal governors sometimes resort to military rule. British troops were quartered in Boston at various times from 1768 until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War to support unpopular royal governors and to intimidate the local populace. The trial of soldiers by courts-martial and the interference of the military with the civil courts aroused great anxiety and antagonism not only in Massachusetts but throughout the colonies. For example, Samuel Adams in 1768 wrote:}} {{smaller block|“[I]s it not enough for us to have seen soldiers and mariners forejudged of life, and executed within the body of the county by martial law? Are citizens to be called upon, threatened, ill-used at the will of the soldiery, and put under arrest, by pretext of the law military, in breach of the fundamental rights of subjects, and contrary to the law and franchise of the land? * * * Will the spirits of people as yet unsubdued by tyranny, unawed by the menaces of arbitrary power, submit to be governed by military force? No! Let us rouse our attention to the common law—which is our birthright, our great security against all kinds of insult and oppression.”}} {{smaller block|Colonials had also seen the right to trial by jury subverted by acts of Parliament which authorized courts of admiralty to try alleged violations of the unpopular Molasses and Navigation Acts. This gave the admiralty courts jurisdiction over offenses historically triable only by a jury in a court of law and aroused great resentment throughout the colonies. As early as 1765 delegates from nine colonies meeting in New York asserted in a declaration of rights that trial by jury was the inherent and invaluable right of every citizen in the colonies.}} {{smaller block|With this background it is not surprising that the Declaration of Independence protested that George III. had affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power and that Americans had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. And those who adopted the Constitution embodied their profound fear and distrust of military power, as well as their determination to protect trial by jury, in the Constitution and its amendments. Perhaps they were aware that memories fade and hoped that in this way they could keep the people of this Nation from having to fight again and again the same old battles for individual freedom.}} {{smaller block|In the light of this history, it seems clear that the founders had no intention to permit the trial of civilians in military courts, where they would be denied jury trials and other constitutional protections, merely by giving Congress the power to make rules which were necessary and proper for the regulation of the land and naval forces. Such a latitudinarian interpretation of these clauses would be at war with the well-established purpose of the founders to keep the military strictly within its proper sphere, subordinate to civil authority. The Constitution does not say that Congress can regulate the land and naval forces and all other persons whose regulation might have some relationship to maintenance of the land and naval forces. There is no indication that the founders contemplated setting up a rival system of military courts to compete with civilian courts for jurisdiction over civilians who might have some contact or relationship with the Armed Forces. Courts-martial were not to have concurrent jurisdiction with courts of law over nonmilitary America.}} {{smaller block|On several occasions this Court has been faced with an attempted expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. ''Ex parte'' Milligan (4 Wall. 2), one of the great landmarks in this Court’s history, held that military authorities were without power to try civilians not in the military or naval service by declaring martial law in an area where the civil administration was not deposed and the courts were not closed. In a stirring passage the Court proclaimed:}} {{smaller block|“Another guaranty of freedom was broken when Milligan was denied a trial by jury. The great minds of the country have differed on the correct interpretation to be given to various provisions of the Federal Constitution; and judicial decision has been often invoked to settle their true meaning; but until recently no one ever doubted that the right of trial by jury was fortified in the organic law against the power of attack. It is now assailed; but if ideas can be expressed in words, and language has any meaning, this right—one of the most valuable in a free country—is preserved to everyone accused of crime who is not attached to the Army, or Navy, or militia in actual service.”}} {{smaller block|In ''Duncan'' v. ''Kahanamoku'' (327 U. S. 304), the Court reasserted the principles enunciated in ''Ex parte'' Milligan and reaffirmed the tradition of military subordination to civil authorities and institutions. It refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during wartime despite Government claims that the needs of defense made martial law imperative.}} {{smaller block|Just last term, this Court held in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), that military courts could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense which he had allegedly committed while in the Armed Forces. It was decided (1) that since Toth was a civilian he could not be tried by military court-martial, and (2) that since he was charged with murder, a crime in the constitutional sense, he was entitled to indictment by a grand jury, jury trial, and the other protections contained in article III., section 2 and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. The Court pointed out that trial by civilian courts was the rule for persons who were not members of the Armed Forces.}} {{smaller block|There are no supportable grounds upon which to distinguish the ''Toth'' case from the present cases. Toth, Mrs. Covert, and Mrs. Smith were all civilians. All three were American citizens. All three were tried for murder. All three alleged crimes were committed in a foreign country. The only differences were: (1) Toth was an exserviceman while they were wives of soldiers; (2) Toth was arrested in the United States while they were seized in foreign countries. If anything, Toth had closer connection with the military than the two women for his crime was committed while he was actually serving in the Air Force. Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith had never been members of the Army, had never been employed by the Army, had never served in the Army in any capacity. The Government appropriately argued in Toth that the constitutional basis for court-martialing him was clearer than for court-martialing wives who are accompanying their husbands abroad. Certainly Toth’s conduct as a soldier bears a closer relation to the maintenance of order and discipline in the Armed Forces than the conduct of these wives. The fact that Toth was arrested here while the wives were arrested in foreign countries is material only if constitutional safeguards do not shield a citizen abroad when the Government exercises its power over him. As we have said before, such a view of the Constitution is erroneous. The mere fact that these women had gone overseas with their husbands should not reduce the protection the Constitution gives them.}} {{smaller block|The Milligan, ''Duncan'', and ''Toth'' cases recognized and manifested the deeply rooted and ancient opposition in this country to the extension of military control over civilians. In each instance an effort to expand the jurisdiction of military courts to civilians was repulsed.}} {{smaller block|There have been a number of decisions in the lower Federal courts which have upheld military trial of civilians performing services for the Armed Forces in the field during time of war. To the extent that these cases can be justified, insofar as they involved trial of persons who were not members of the Armed Forces, they must rest on the Government’s war powers. In the face of an actively hostile enemy, military commanders necessarily have broad power over persons on the battlefront. From a time prior to the adoption of the Constitution the extraordinary circumstances present in an area of actual fighting have been considered sufficient to permit punishment of some civilians in that area by military courts under military rules. But neither Japan nor Great Britain could properly be said to be an area where active hostilities were underway at the time Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert committed their offenses or at the time they were tried.}} {{smaller block|The Government urges that the concept in the field should be broadened to reach dependents accompanying the military forces overseas under the conditions of world tension which exist at the present time. It points out how the war powers include authority to prepare defenses and to establish our military forces in defensive posture about the world. While we recognize that the war powers of the Congress and the Executive are broad, we reject the Government’s argument that present threats to peace permit military trial of civilians accompanying the Armed Forces overseas in an area where no actual hostilities are underway. The exigencies which have required military rule on the battlefront are not present in areas where no conflict exists. Military trial of civilians in the field is an extraordinary jurisdiction, and it should not be expanded at the expense of the Bill of Rights. We agree with Colonel Winthrop, an expert on military jurisdiction, who declared: “A statute cannot be framed by which a civilian can lawfully be made amenable to the military jurisdiction in time of peace.”}} {{smaller block|As this Court stated in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), the business of soldiers is to fight and prepare to fight wars, not to try civilians for their alleged crimes. Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions, and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks. Because of its very nature and purpose the military must place great emphasis on discipline and efficiency. Correspondingly, there has always been less emphasis in the military on protecting the rights of the individual than in civilian society and in civilian courts.}} {{smaller block|Courts-martial are typically ''ad hoc'' bodies appointed by a military officer from among his subordinates. They have always been subject to varying degrees of command influence. In essence, these tribunals are simply executive tribunals whose personnel are in the executive chain of command. Frequently, the members of the court-martial must look to the appointing officer for promotions, advantageous assignments, and efficiency ratings—in short, for their future progress in the service. Conceding to military personnel that high degree of honesty and sense of justice which nearly all of them undoubtedly have, the members of a court-martial, in the nature of things, do not and cannot have the independence of jurors drawn from the general public or of civilian judges.}} {{smaller block|We recognize that a number of improvements have been made in military justice recently by engrafting more and more of the methods of civilian courts on courts-martial. In large part these ameliorations stem from the reaction of civilians, who were inducted during the two World Wars, to their experience with military justice. Notwithstanding the recent reforms, military trial does not give an accused the same protection which exists in the civil courts. Looming far above all other deficiencies of the military trial, of course, are the absence of trial by jury before an independent judge after an indictment by a grand jury. Moreover, the reforms are merely statutory; Congress—and perhaps the President—can reinstate former practices, subject to any limitations imposed by the Constitution, whenever it desires. As yet it has not been clearly settled to what extent the Bill of Rights and other protective parts of the Constitution apply to military trials.}} {{smaller block|It must be emphasized that every person who comes within the jurisdiction of courts-martial is subject to military law—law that is substantially different from the law which governs civilian society. Military law is, in many respects, harsh law which is frequently cast in very sweeping and vague terms. It emphasizes the iron hand of discipline more that it does the even scales of justice. Moreover, it has not yet been definitely established to what extent the President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, or his delegates, can promulgate, supplement, or change substantive military law as well as the procedures of military courts in time of peace, or in time of war. In any event, Congress has given the President broad discretion to provide the rules governing military trials. For example, in these very cases a technical manual issued under the President’s name with regard to the defense of insanity in military trials was of critical importance in the convictions of Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith. If the President can provide rules of substantive law as well as procedure, then he and his military subordinates exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers with respect to those subject to military trials. Such blending of functions in one branch of the Government is the objectionable thing which the draftsmen of the Constitution endeavored to prevent by providing for the separation of governmental powers.}} {{smaller block|In summary, “it still remains true that military tribunals have not been and probably never can be constituted in such way that they can have the same kind of qualifications that the Constitution has deemed essential to fair trials of civilians in Federal courts.” In part this is attributable to the inherent differences in values and attitudes that separate the Military Establishment from civilian society. In the military, by necessity, emphasis must be placed on the security and order of the group rather than on the value and integrity of the individual.}} {{smaller block|It is urged that the expansion of military jurisdiction over civilians claimed here is only slight, and that the practical necessity for it is very great. The attitude appears to be that a slight encroachment on the Bill of Rights and other safeguards in the Constitution need cause little concern. But to hold that these wives could be tried by the military would be a tempting precedent. Slight encroachments create new boundaries from which legions of power can seek new territory to capture. “It may be that it is the obnoxious thing in its mildest and least repulsive form; but illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing in that way; namely, by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal modes of procedure. This can only be obviated by adhering to the rule that constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. A close and literal construction deprives them of half their efficacy, and leads to gradual depreciation of the right, as if it consisted more in sound than in substance. It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.” Moreover we cannot consider this encroachment a slight one. Throughout history many transgressions by the military have been called slight and have been justified as reasonable in light of the uniqueness of the times. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that today the peoples of many nations are ruled by the military.}} {{smaller block|We should not break faith with this Nation’s tradition of keeping military power subservient to civilian authority, a tradition which we believe is firmly embodied in the Constitution. The country has remained true to that faith for almost 170 years. Perhaps no group in the Nation has been truer than military men themselves. Unlike the soldiers of many other nations, they have been content to perform their military duties in defense of the Nation in every period of need and to perform those duties well without attempting to usurp power which is not theirs under our system of constitutional government.}} {{smaller block|Ours is a Government of divided authority on the assumption that in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny. And under our Constitution courts of law alone are given power to try civilians for their offenses against the United States.

The normal method of trial of Federal offenses under the Constitution is in a civilian tribunal. Trial of offenses by way of court-martial, with all the characteristics of its procedure so different from the forms and safeguards of procedure in the conventional courts, is an exercise of exceptional jurisdiction, arising from the power granted to Congress in article I., section 8, clause 14, of the Constitution of the United States—“To make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” ''Dynes'' v. ''Hoover'', (20 How. 65); see ''Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11); Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d ed. 1896), 52. Article 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64th United States Statutes at Large, pages 107, 109, title 50, United States Code, section 532, and its predecessors were passed as an exercise of that power, and the agreements with England and Japan recognized that the jurisdiction to be exercised under those agreements was based on the relation of the persons involved to the military forces. See the agreement with Great Britain (57 Stat. 1193, E. A. S. No. 355) and the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act (1942, 5 and 6 Geo. 6, ch. 31); and the 1952 administrative agreement with Japan (3 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 3341, T. I. A. S. No. 2492).}} {{smaller block|Trial by court-martial is constitutionally permissible only for persons who can, on a fair appraisal, be regarded as falling within the authority given to Congress under article I. to regulate the “land and naval forces,” and who therefore are not protected by specific provisions of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. It is, of course, true that, at least regarding the right to a grand-jury indictment, the fifth amendment is not unmindful of the demands of military discipline. Within the scope of appropriate construction, the phrase “except in cases arising in the land and naval forces” has been assumed also to modify the guaranties of speedy and public trial by jury. And so, the problem before us is not to be answered by recourse to the literal words of this exception. The cases cannot be decided simply by saying that since these women were not in uniform, they were not “in the land and naval forces.” The Court’s function in constitutional adjudications is not exhausted by a literal reading of words. It may be tiresome, but it is nonetheless vital, to keep our judicial minds fixed on the injunction that “it is a Constitution we are expounding.” ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, 407). Although Winthrop in his treatise states that the Constitution “clearly distinguishes the military from the civil class as separate communities” and “recognizes no third class which is part civil and part military—military for a particular purpose or in a particular situation, and civil for all other purposes and in all other situations. * * *” Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d edition 1896), 145, this Court, applying appropriate methods of constitutional interpretation, has long held, and in a variety of situations, that in the exercise of a power specifically granted to it, Congress may sweep in what may be necessary to make effective the explicitly worded power. See ''Jacob Ruppert'' v. ''Caffey'' (251 U. S. 264) especially 289 and following; ''Purity Extract Co.'' v. ''Lynch'' (226 U. S. 192, 201); ''Railroad Commission'' v. ''Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy R. Co.'' (257 U. S. 563, 588). This is the significance of the necessary and proper clause, which is not to be considered so much a separate clause in article I., section 8, as an integral part of each of the preceding 17 clauses. Only thus may be avoided a strangling literalness in construing a document that is not an enumeration of static rules, but the living framework of Government designed for an undefined future. ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316); ''Hurtado'' v. ''California'' (110 U. S. 516, 530–531).}} {{smaller block|Everything that may be deemed, as the exercise of an allowable judgment by Congress, to fall fairly within the conception conveyed by the power given to Congress “to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” is constitutionally within that legislative grant and not subject to revision by the independent judgment of the Court. To be sure, every event or transaction that bears some relation to “the land and naval forces” does not ''ipso facto'' come within the tolerant conception of that legislative grant. The issue in these cases involves regard for considerations not dissimilar to those involved in a determination under the due process clause. Obviously, the practical situations before us bear some relation to the military. Yet the question for this Court is not merely whether the relation of these women to the “land and naval forces” is sufficiently close to preclude the necessity of finding that Congress has been arbitrary in its selection of a particular method of trial. For although we must look to article I., section 8, clause 14, as the immediate justifying power, it is not the only clause of the Constitution to be taken into account. The Constitution is an organic scheme of government to be dealt with as an entirety. A particular provision cannot be dissevered from the rest of the Constitution. Our conclusion in these cases therefore must take due account of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must weigh all the factors involved in these cases in order to decide whether these women dependents are so closely related to what Congress may allowably deem essential for the effective “government and regulations of the land and naval forces” that they may be subjected to court-martial jurisdiction in these capital cases, when the consequence is loss of the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|We are not concerned here even with the possibility of some alternative nonmilitary type of trial that does not contain all the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must judge only what has been enacted and what is at issue. It is the power actually asserted by Congress under article I., section 8, clause 14, that must now be adjudged in the light of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. In making this adjudication, I must emphasize that it is only the trial of civilian dependents in a capital case in time of peace that is in question. The Court has not before it, and therefore I need not intimate any opinion on, situations involving civilians, in the sense of persons not having a military status, other than dependents. Nor do we have before us a case involving a noncapital crime. This narrow delineation of the issue is merely to respect the important restrictions binding on the Court when passing on the constitutionality of an act of Congress. “In the exercise of that jurisdiction, it is bound by two rules, to which it has rigidly adhered, one, never to anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it; the other never to formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied. These rules are safe guides to sound judgment. It is the dictate of wisdom to follow them closely and carefully.” ''Steamship Co.'' v. ''Emigration Commissioners'' (113 U. S. 33, 39).}} {{smaller block|We are also not concerned here with the substantive aspects of the grant of power to Congress to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces. What conduct should be punished and what constitutes a capital case are matters for Congressional discretion, always subject, of course, to any specific restrictions of the Constitution. These cases involve the validity of procedural conditions for determining the commission of a crime in fact punishable by death. The taking of life is irrevocable. It is in capital cases especially that the balance of conflicting interests must be weighted most heavily in favor of the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Thus, in ''Powell'' v. ''Alabama'' (287 U. S. 45, 71), the fact “above all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives” led the Court to conclude that the defendants had been denied due process by the failure to allow them reasonable time to seek counsel and the failure to appoint counsel. I repeat. I do not mean to imply that the considerations that are controlling in capital cases involving civilian dependents are constitutionally irrelevant in capital cases involving civilians other than dependents or in noncapital cases involving dependents or other civilians. I do say that we are dealing here only with capital cases and civilian dependents.}} {{smaller block|The Government asserts that civilian dependents are an integral part of our Armed Forces overseas and that there is substantial military necessity for subjecting them to court-martial jurisdiction. The Government points out that civilian dependents go abroad under military auspices, live with military personnel in a military community, enjoy the privileges of military facilities, and that their conduct inevitably tends to influence military discipline.}} {{smaller block|The prosecution by court-martial for capital crimes committed by civilian dependents of members of the Armed Forces abroad is hardly to be deemed; under modern conditions, obviously appropriate to the effective exercise of the power to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces when it is a question of deciding what power is granted under article I. and, therefore, what restriction is made on article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. I do not think that the proximity, physical and social, of these women to the land and naval forces is, with due regard to all that has been put before us, so clearly demanded by the effective Government and regulation of those forces as reasonably to demonstrate a justification for court-martial jurisdiction over capital offenses.}} {{smaller block|The Government speaks of the “great potential impact on military discipline” of these accompanying civilian dependents. This cannot be denied, nor should its implications be minimized. But the notion that discipline over military personnel is to be furthered by subjecting their civilian dependents to the threat of capital punishment imposed by court-martial is too hostile to the reasons that underlie the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights for those safeguards to be displaced. It is true that military discipline might be affected seriously if civilian dependents could commit murders and other capital crimes with impunity. No one, however, challenges the availability to Congress of a power to provide for trial and punishment of these dependents for such crimes. The method of trial alone is in issue. The Government suggests that if trial in an article III. court subject to the restrictions of the fifth and sixth amendments is the only alternative, such a trial could not be held abroad practicably, and it would often be equally impracticable to transport all the witnesses back to the United States for trial. But although there is no need to pass on that issue in this case, trial in the United States is obviously not the only practical alternative and other alternatives may raise different constitutional questions. The Government’s own figures for the Army show that the total number of civilians (all civilians serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces overseas and not merely civilian dependents) for whom general courts-martial for alleged murder were deemed advisable was only 13 in the 7 fiscal years, 1950–56. It is impossible to ascertain from the figures supplied to us exactly how many persons were tried for other capital offenses, but the figures indicate that there could not have been many. There is nothing to indicate that the figures for the other services are more substantial. It thus appears to be a manageable problem within the procedural restrictions found necessary by this opinion.}} {{smaller block|A further argument is made that a decision adverse to the Government would mean that only a foreign trial could be had. Even assuming that the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, (4 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 1792, T. I. A. S. No. 2846) covering countries where a large part of our Armed Forces are stationed, gives jurisdiction to the United States only through its military authorities, this court cannot speculate that any given nation would be unwilling to grant or continue such extraterritorial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in capital cases if they were to be tried by some other manner than court-martial. And even if such were the case, these civilian dependents would then merely be in the same position as are so many Federal employees and their dependents and other United States citizens who are subject to the laws of foreign nations when residing there. See also the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, ''supra'', article VII., sections 2, 3.}} {{smaller block|The Government makes the final argument that these civilian dependents are part of the United States military contingent abroad in the eyes of the foreign nations concerned and that their conduct may have a profound effect on our relations with these countries, with a consequent effect on the Military Establishment there. But the argument that military courts-martial in capital cases are necessitated by this factor assumes either that a military court-martial constitutes a stronger deterrent to this sort of conduct or that in the absence of such a trial no punishment would be meted out and our foreign policy thereby injured. The reasons why these considerations carry no conviction have already been indicated.}} {{smaller block|I therefore conclude that in capital cases the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in time of peace cannot be justified by article I., considered in connection with the specific protections of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|Since the conclusion thus reached differs from what the Court decided last term, a decent respect for the judicial process calls for reexamination of the two grounds that then prevailed. The court sustained its action on the authority of the cases dealing with the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for the territories, reinforced by ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453), in which this Court, in 1891, sustained the criminal jurisdiction of a consular court in Japan. These authorities grew out of, and related to, specific situations very different from those now here. They do not control or even embarrass the problem before us.}} {{smaller block|Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific judicial origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the purposes they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots. Doctrines like those expressed by the Ross case and the series of cases beginning with ''American Insurance Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511), must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion. “If a precedent involving a black horse is applied to a case involving a white horse, we are not excited. If it were an elephant or an animal ''ferae naturae'' or a chose in action, then we would venture into thought. The difference might make a difference. We really are concerned about precedents chiefly when their facts differ somewhat from the facts in the case at bar. Then there is a gulf or hiatus that has to be bridged by a concern for principle and a concern for practical results and practical wisdom.” Thomas Reed Powell, Vagaries and Varieties in Constitutional Interpretation 36. This attitude toward precedent underlies the whole system of our case law. It was thus summarized by Mr. Justice Brandeis: “It is a peculiar virtue of our system of law that the process of inclusion and exclusion, so often employed in developing a rule, is not allowed to end with its enunciation and that an expression in an opinion yields later to the impact of facts unforeseen.” ''Jaybird Mining Co.'' v. ''Weir'' (271 U. S. 609, 619 (dissenting)). Especially is this attitude to be observed in constitutional controversies.}} {{smaller block|The Territorial cases relied on by the Court last term held that certain specific constitutional restrictions on the Government did not automatically apply in the acquired Territories of Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, or Puerto Rico. In these cases, the Court drew its decisions from the power of Congress to “make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory * * * belonging to the United States,” for which provision is made in article IV., section 3. The United States from time to time acquired lands in which many of our laws and customs found an uncongenial soil because they ill accorded with the history and habits of their people. Mindful of all relevant provisions of the Constitution and not allowing one to frustrate another—which is the guiding thought of this opinion—the Court found it necessary to read article IV., section 3 together with the fifth and sixth amendments and article III. in the light of those circumstances. The question arose most frequently with respect to the establishment of trial by jury in possessions in which such a system was wholly without antecedents. The Court consistently held with respect to such Territory that Congressional power under article IV., section 3 was not restricted by the requirement of article III., section 2, clause 3, and the sixth amendment of providing trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|“If the right to trial by jury were a fundamental right which goes wherever the jurisdiction of the United States extends; or if Congress, in framing laws for outlying territory belonging to the United States, was obliged to establish that system by affirmative legislation, it would follow that, no matter what the needs or capacities of the people, trial by jury, and in no other way, must be forthwith established, although the result may be to work injustice and provoke disturbance rather than to aid the orderly administration of justice. If the United States, impelled by its duty or advantage, shall acquire territory peopled by savages, and of which it may dispose or not hold for ultimate admission to statehood, if this doctrine is sound, it must establish there the trial by jury. To state such a proposition demonstrates the impossibility of carrying it into practice. Again, if the United States shall acquire by treaty the cession of territory having an established system of jurisprudence, where jury trials are unknown, but a method of fair and orderly trial prevails under an acceptable and long-established code, the preference of the people must be disregarded, their established customs ignored, and they themselves coerced to accept, in advance of incorporation into the United States, a system of trial unknown to them and unsuited to their needs. We do not think it was intended, in giving power to Congress to make regulations for the territories, to hamper its exercise with this condition.” ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138, 148.)}} {{smaller block|The fundamental right test is the one which the Court has consistently enunciated in the long series of cases—''e. g.'', ''American Ins. Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511); ''De Lima'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 1); ''Downes'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 244); ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138); ''Balzac'' v. ''Porto Rico'' (258 U. S. 298)—dealing with claims of constitutional restrictions on the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for governing the unincorporated territories. The process of decision appropriate to the problem led to a detailed examination of the relation of the specific territory to the United States. This examination, in its similarity to analysis in terms of due process, is essentially the same as that to be made in the present cases in weighing Congressional power to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces against the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|The results in the cases that arose by reason of the acquisition of exotic territory do not control the present cases for the territorial cases rest specifically—on article IV., section 3, which is a grant of power to Congress to deal with territory and other Government property. Of course the power sought to be exercised in Great Britain and Japan does not relate to territory. The Court’s opinions in the territorial cases did not lay down a broad principle that the protective provisions of the Constitution do not apply outside the continental limits of the United States. This Court considered the particular situation in each newly acquired territory to determine whether the grant to Congress of power to govern territory was restricted by a specific provision of the Constitution. The territorial cases, in the emphasis put by them on the necessity for considering the specific circumstances of each particular case, are thus relevant in that they provide an illustrative method for harmonizing constitutional provisions which appear, separately considered, to be conflicting.}} {{smaller block|The Court last term relied on a second source of authority, the consular court case, ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). Pursuant to a treaty with Japan, Ross, a British subject but a member of the crew of a United States ship, was tried and convicted in a consular court in Yokohama for murder of a fellow seaman while the ship was in Yokohama Harbor. His application for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to a United States circuit court was denied, 44 F. 185, and on appeal here, the judgment was affirmed. This Court set forth the ground of the circuit court, “the long and uniform acquiescence by the executive, administrative, and legislative departments of the Government in the validity of the legislation,” 140th United States Reports, at page 461, and then stated:}} {{smaller block|“The circuit court might have found an additional ground for not calling in question the legislation of Congress, in the uniform practice of civilized governments for centuries to provide consular tribunals in other than Christian countries * * * for the trial of their own subjects or citizens for offenses committed in those countries, as well as for the settlement of civil disputes between them; and in the uniform recognition, down to the time of the formation of our Government, of the fact that the establishment of such tribunals was among the most important subjects for treaty stipulations. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The treatymaking power vested in our Government extends to all proper subjects of negotiation with foreign governments. It can, equally with any of the former or present governments of Europe, make treaties providing for the exercise of judicial authority in other countries by its officers appointed to reside therein.}} {{smaller block|“We do not understand that any question is made by counsel as to its power in this respect. His objection is to the legislation by which such treaties are carried out * * *.}} {{smaller block|“By the Constitution a government is ordained and established ‘for the United States of America,’ and not for countries outside of their limits. The guarantees it affords against accusation of capital or infamous crimes, except by indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and, for an impartial trial by a jury when thus accused, apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad. * * * The Constitution can have no operation in another country. When, therefore, the representatives or officers of our Government are permitted to exercise authority of any kind in another country, it must be on such conditions as the two countries may agree, the laws of neither one being obligatory upon the other. The deck of a private American vessel, it is true, is considered for many purposes constructively as territory of the United States, yet persons on board of such vessels, whether officers, sailors, or passengers, cannot invoke the protection of the provisions referred to until brought within the actual territorial boundaries of the United States.” (140 U. S., at 462–464.)}} {{smaller block|One observation should be made at the outset about the grounds for decision in Ross. Insofar as the opinion expressed a view that the Constitution is not operative outside the United States—and apparently Mr. Justice Field meant by “United States” all lands over which the United States flag flew, see John W. Burgess, How May the United States Govern Its Extra-Continental Territory? (14 Pol. Sci. Q. 1 (1899))—it expressed a notion that has long since evaporated. Governmental action abroad is performed under both the authority and the restrictions of the Constitution—for example, proceedings before American military tribunals, whether in Great Britain or in the United States, are subject to the applicable restrictions of the Constitution. See opinions in ''Burns'' v. ''Wilson'' (346 U. S. 137).}} {{smaller block|The significance of the Ross case and its relevance to the present cases cannot be assessed unless due regard is accorded the historical context in which that case was decided. Ross is not rooted in any abstract principle or comprehensive theory touching constitutional power or its restrictions. It was decided with reference to a very particular, practical problem with a long history. To be mindful of this does not attribute to Mr. Justice Field’s opinion some unavowed historical assumption. On behalf of the whole court, he spelled out the considerations that controlled it:}} {{smaller block|“The practice of European governments to send officers to reside in foreign countries, authorized to exercise a limited jurisdiction over vessels and seamen of their country, to watch the interests of their countrymen and to assist in adjusting their disputes and protecting their commerce, goes back to a very early period, even preceding what are termed the Middle Ages. * * * In other than Christian countries they were, by treaty stipulations, usually clothed with authority to hear complaints against their countrymen and to sit in judgment upon them when charged with public offenses. After the rise of Islamism, and the spread of its followers over eastern Asia and other countries bordering on the Mediterranean, the exercise of this judicial authority became a matter of great concern. The intense hostility of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to Christians, affected all their intercourse, and all proceedings had in their tribunals. Even the rules of evidence adopted by them placed those of different faith on unequal grounds in any controversy with them. For this cause, and by reason of the barbarous and cruel punishments inflicted in those countries, and the frequent use of torture to enforce confession from parties accused, it was a matter of deep interest to Christian governments to withdraw the trial of their subjects, when charged with the commission of a public offence, from the arbitrary and despotic action of the local officials. Treaties conferring such jurisdiction upon these consuls were essential to the peaceful residence of Christians within those countries and the successful prosecution of commerce with their people.” One Hundred and Fortieth United States Reports, at page 463.}} {{smaller block|“It is true that the occasion for consular tribunals in Japan may hereafter be less than at present, as every year that country progresses in civilization and in the assimilation of its system of judicial procedure to that of Christian countries, as well as in the improvement of its penal statutes; but the system of consular tribunals * * * is of the highest importance, and their establishment in other than. Christian countries, where our people may desire to go in pursuance of commerce, will often be essential for the protection of their persons and property” (''id.'', at 480).}} {{smaller block|It is important to have a lively sense of this background before attempting to draw on the Ross case. Historians have traced grants of extraterritorial rights as far back as the permission given by Egypt in the 12th or 13th century {{asc|B. C.}} to the merchants of Tyre to establish factories on the Nile and to live under their own law and practice their own religion. Numerous other instances of persons living under their own law in foreign lands existed in the later pre-Christian era and during the Roman Empire and the so-called Dark and Middle Ages—Greeks in Egypt, all sorts of foreigners in Rome, inhabitants of Christian cities and states in the Byzantine Empire, the Latin kingdoms of the Levant, and other Christian cities and states, Mohammedans in the Byzantine Empire and China, and many others lived in foreign lands under their own law. While the origins of this extraterritorial jurisdiction may have differed in each country, the notion that law was for the benefit of the citizens of a country and its advantages not for foreigners appears to have been an important factor. Thus, there existed a long-established custom of extraterritorial jurisdiction at the beginning of the 15th century when the complete conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire substantially altered political relations between Christian Europe and the Near East. But commercial relations continued, and in 1535 Francis I. of France negotiated a treaty with Suleiman I. of Turkey that provided for numerous extraterritorial rights, including criminal and civil jurisdiction over all disputes among. French subjects. (1 Ernest Charriere, Negotiations de la France dans le Levant 283.) Other nations and eventually the United States in 1830 (8 Stat. 408), later negotiated similar treaties with the Turks. (For a more complete history of the development of extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction, see 1 Calvo, Le Droit International Theorique et Pratique (5th ed., Rousseau, 1896), 2–18, 2 ''id.'', 9–12; Hinckley, American Consular Jurisdiction in the Orient, 1–9; 1 Miltitz, Manuel des Consuls passim; Ravndal, The Origin of the Capitulations and of the Consular Jurisdiction, S.

No longer were strangers to be denied the advantages of local law. Indeed, territorial sovereignty meant the exercise of sovereignty over all residents within the borders of the state, and the system of extraterritorial consular jurisdiction tended to die out among Christian nations in the 18th and 19th centuries. But a new justification was found for the continuation of that jurisdiction in those countries whose systems of justice were considered inferior, and it was this strong feeling with respect to Moslem and Far Eastern countries that was reflected, as we have seen, in the Ross opinion.}} {{smaller block|Until 1842, China had asserted control over all foreigners within its territory (Shih Shun Liu, ''op. cit.'', ''supra'', 76–89) but, as a result of the Opium War, Great Britain negotiated a treaty with China whereby she obtained consular offices in five open ports and was granted extraterritorial rights over her citizens. On July 3, 1844, Caleb Cushing negotiated a similar treaty on behalf of the United States (8 Stat. 592). In a letter to Secretary of State Calhoun, he explained: “I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations—in a word a Christian state.” Quoted in 7 Op. Atty. Gen. 495, 496–497. Later treaties continued the extraterritorial rights of the United States, and the treaty of 1903 contained the following article demonstrating the purpose of those rights:}} {{smaller block|“The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of western nations, the United States agrees to give every assistance to such reform and will also be prepared to relinquish extra-territorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in doing so” (33 Stat. 2208, 2215).}} {{smaller block|The first treaty with Japan was negotiated by Commodore Perry in 1854 (11 Stat. 597).

Under the treaty of 1857 (11 Stat. 723), such power was given, and later treaties, which opened up further Japanese cities for trade and residence by United States citizens, retained these rights. The treaty of 1894, effective on July 17, 1899, however, ended these extraterritorial rights and Japan, even though a non-Christian nation, came to occupy the same status as Christian nations (29 Stat. 848). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction by consuls over United States citizens was also provided for, at one time or another, in treaties with Borneo (10 Stat. 909, 910); Siam (11 Stat. 683, 684); Madagascar (15 Stat. 491, 492); Samoan Islands (20 Stat. 704); Korea (23 Stat. 720, 721); Tonga Islands (25 Stat. 1440, 1442) and, by virtue of most-favored-nation clauses; in treaties with Tripoli (8 Stat. 154); Persia (11 Stat. 709); the Congo (27 Stat. 926); and Ethiopia (33 Stat. 2254). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction was also provided for in a treaty with Morocco (8 Stat. 100), by virtue of a most-favored-nation clause and by virtue of a clause granting jurisdiction if “any citizens of the United States * * * shall have any disputes with each other.” The word “disputes” has been interpreted by the International Court of Justice to comprehend criminal as well as civil disputes. ''France'' v. ''United States'' (I. C. J. Rept. 1952, p. 176, 188–189.) The treaties with Algiers (8 Stat. 133, 224, 244); Tunis (8 Stat. 157); and Muscat (8 Stat. 458) contained similar disputes clauses.}} {{smaller block|The judicial power exercised by consuls was defined by statute and was sweeping:}} {{smaller block|“Jurisdiction in both criminal and civil matters shall, in all cases, be exercised and enforced in conformity with the laws of the United States, which are hereby, so far as is necessary to execute such treaties, respectively, and so far as they are suitable to carry the same into effect, extended over all citizens of the United States in those countries, and over all others to the extent that the terms of the treaties, respectively, justify or require. But in all cases where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” (Rev. Stat. sec. 4086.)}} {{smaller block|The consuls, then, exercised not only executive and judicial power, but legislative power as well.}} {{smaller block|The number of people subject to the jurisdiction of these courts during their most active periods appears to have been fairly small. In the Chronicle & Directory for China, Japan, and the Philippines, for the year 1870, there is a listing of the total number of foreign, not just United States, residents in these three places. The list is 81 pages long, with a total of some 4,500 persons (pp. 54–134). This same publication gives the following information about Japan. “The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of * * * 38 Americans * * * and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number * * * about 80 [were] Americans. * * * At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the Government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January 1866: * * * American citizens, 32. * * * A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there * * *.” (Appendix, p. 353.) The statesman’s Yearbook of 1890 shows: China at the end of 1888: 1,020 Americans (p. 411); Japan in 1887, 711 Americans (p. 709); Morocco; 1889 estimate: “The number of Christians is very small, not exceeding 1,500” (p. 739). The Statesman’s Yearbook of 1901 shows: China at the end of 1899: 2,335 Americans (p. 484); Japan, December 31, 1898, just before the termination of our extraterritorial rights: 1,165 Americans (p. 809); Morocco: “The number of Christians does not exceed 6,000; the Christian population of Tangier alone probably amounts to 5,000” (p. 851). These figures of course do not include those civilians temporarily in the country coming within consular jurisdiction.}} {{smaller block|The consular court jurisdiction, then, was exercised in countries whose legal systems at the time were considered so inferior that justice could not be obtained in them by our citizens. The existence of these courts was based on long-established custom and they were justified as the best possible means for securing justice for the few Americans present in those countries. The Ross case, therefore, arose out of, and rests on, very special, confined circumstances, and cannot be applied automatically to the present situation, involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens in countries with civilized systems of justice. If Congress had established consular courts or some other nonmilitary procedure for trial that did not contain all the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments for the trial of civilian dependents of military personnel abroad, we would be forced to a detailed analysis of the situation of the civilian dependent population abroad in deciding whether the Ross case should be extended to cover such a case. It is not necessary to do this in the present cases in view of our decision that the form or trial here provided cannot constitutionally be justified.}} {{smaller block|The Government, apparently recognizing the constitutional basis for the decision in Ross, has, on rehearing, sought to show that civilians in general and civilian dependents in particular have been subject to military order and discipline ever since the colonial period. The materials it has submitted seem too episodic, too meager, to form a solid basis in history, preceding and contemporaneous with the framing of the Constitution, for constitutional adjudication. What has been urged on us falls far too short of proving a well-established practice—to be deemed to be infused into the Constitution—of court-martial jurisdiction, certainly not in capital cases, over such civilians in time of peace.}} Mr. President, the decision which I have read in the {{sc|Record}} is in the case of Curtis Reid, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Jail, Appellant, against Clarice B. Covert, and Nina Kinsella, Warden of the Federal Reformatory for Women, Alderson, W. Va., petitioner, against Walter Krueger. The opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice Black, was concurred in by the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan. It pointed out clearly that even though the court-martial so provided, the jury trial could not be denied to civilians accompanying the Armed Forces. It is very clear on that point. There was a concurring opinion, which I have just included in the {{sc|Record}}, by Justice Frankfurter, which upholds that contention. There is no question that under the United States Constitution citizens are entitled to a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the discretion of a Federal judge to say whether he is going to grant a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the Congress to say that if the punishment is only a $300 fine or 45 days imprisonment we will let the judge try the case, but if it is above that the defendant can get a jury trial. That simply does not make sense. It violates the Constitution and is in derogation of the administration of justice in this country. As someone has said, it is a split-level statute. Mr. President, on May 9, 1957, before the mountain and plain regional meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colo., Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., of the Supreme Court, made an address on our judicial systems. In this address he discussed the advantages of our traditional jury-trial system. Because of the clear, straightforward nature of this address, I want to quote the following statement made by Justice Brennan. This is what he said: {{smaller block|We hear much, for example, of the proposal that we turn all automobile-accident litigation over to an administrative agency. The idea is that, because automobile litigation accounts for a major part of court business, the simple solution is to dispose of the problem by throwing it out the window. What an abject abdication of our profession’s responsibility to provide judicial justice for our citizens. But, at best, there is utterly no hope for that idea, at least not in our lifetimes, when the job of judicial reform must be done. It will be a long day before our society will pay the price of damages for every automobile injury or death without regard to the fault of the person injured or killed. There is no true analogy between compensation for the injured workman who helps produce goods or services for profit, where the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods or services, and compensation to the automobile victim, where the cost would have to be borne by all of us.}} {{smaller block|Another nostrum is that, because jury trials take more time than trials before a judge without a jury, the easy answer to calendar congestion is to get rid of jury trials in automobile accident cases. Actual studies are being made to prove that the average jury trial in a negligence case takes more time than a nonjury trial of a negligence case. I question the need for a study to prove something that every judge and lawyer knows. Of course jury trials usually take more time than nonjury trials. But those who propose this suggest also that fairer justice will result if a judge, unprejudiced for one side or the other—they really mean that juries are prejudiced in favor of plaintiffs—disposes of them. I doubt that that proposition can withstand analysis. As a trial judge I was always interested in how often the jury brought in the same verdict on liability that I would have reached. And that seems to be the experience of trial judges generally. A recent survey proved that in upwards of 85 percent of the cases the trial judge reported that the jury reached the result on liability that he would have reached. Moreover, the idea that juries go haywire in fixing damages where plaintiffs prevail should be looked at a little more closely. I think at least that judge-decided verdicts under the Federal Tort Claims Act (no jury trial is had under that act) do not persuade the Department of Justice that juries are any less conscientious in fixing damages. I know that at times juries do go overboard. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the instances in my time as a trial judge when I felt it necessary to set aside verdicts because they had done so. My experience left me with the definite impression that jurors almost always do try to fix damages within allowable limits.}} {{smaller block|I think, at all events, this proposal to abolish jury trials in automobile accident cases also faces an almost insurmountable hurdle. The success of our British brothers in abolishing jury trials should not mislead us. American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. Perhaps the emotion generated by proposals to modify or deny the right has its roots in the Jacksonian era of distrust of the legal profession and the insistence upon the people’s control of the administration of justice. Perhaps it is a survival of the same thing which gave us the elective system of judges in most States and in some, as in my own, New Jersey, actual lay participation on the bench. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of the preservation of their liberties. The road of him who would take away jury trial in automobile accident cases is a long and rocky one.}} {{smaller block|I submit that it is a sorry response to the litigant who suffers from long delay in having his accident suit tried that we can offer no relief beyond “let’s throw accident litigation out of the courts,” or “let’s deny the victim the right of a jury trial.” Our profession must stand up and reject those nostrums. We know now that there are judicial structures and techniques of judicial administration which not only can cope with problems of calendar control but to far more {{SIC|signficant|significant}} purposes can also measurably assist in our ceaseless striving to give better justice. Our need is to get up our courage to fight for these things and to do battle with the powerfully entrenched opponents of any reform who too often take their position out of self-interest without sufficient consideration of what is best in the people’s interest. It doubtless is true that achievement of a modernized, efficient judicial structure requires far-reaching legislative and constitutional changes in most jurisdictions. But, far better to do the arduous labor of getting that essential job done than to promote equally drastic changes which are nothing more than a humiliating confession of defeat.}} {{smaller block|Let us not forget that the integrity and efficiency of the judicial process is the first essential in a democratic society. The confidence of the people in the administration of justice is a prime requisite for free representative government. The public entrusts the legal profession with the sacred mission of dealing with the vital affairs that affect the whole pattern of human relations and certainly has a stake entitling it to demand not only that judges dispense justice impartially and fairly but also that judicial business shall be handled and disposed of by a modernized process which assures a minimum of friction and waste, for such a process also plays a large role in the achievement of impartial and fair justice for all litigants. There is actually no difference between the business of judicial administration and the business of running an industrial or commercial enterprise in the sense that the efficient and businesslike conduct of each means better service for the public. An inefficient and wasteful judicial administration actually can and often does result in a denial of justice, however earnestly an honest and upright judge may strive to prevent that lamentable result.}} {{smaller block|I think it is not difficult to account for today’s heightened interest on the part of the general public throughout our Nation and, indeed, the Free World in the improvement of the process for administering justice. That growing interest is in large measure a product of the tumultuous times in which we live. For these are not only times which have produced a monstrous threat to all freedom, but, by the very reason of that threat, are times which have induced in free peoples everywhere an ever intensifying critical self-examination of the institutions upon which their freedoms depend—an insistence upon exposure of the imperfections of those institutions, a peremptory demand upon those who are entrusted with those institutions to improve and strengthen them the more surely to withstand the onslaught bent upon their destruction. It is but natural then that the judicial process should come under examination, for never was it more true than today that “Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.”}} Mr. President, I submit, just as Justice Brennan has quoted here, which never was more true than today: {{smaller block|Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.}} I contend that since our forefathers placed in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights provisions which are so plain it seems no one could misinterpret them, providing for trial by jury in criminal cases, there can be no question that jury trials are not only desirable but are demanded under the Constitution. There should be no doubt in the mind of anyone, if he studies the Constitution, that the so-called compromise which tends to compromise the Constitution of the United States is not a just, is not a fair, is not a wise, and is not a constitutional provision, and that this bill should be killed. Mr. President, one of the most interesting books ever written on the American system of Government was by Alexis de Tocqueville, a young Frenchman who wrote a book entitled “Democracy in America” after visiting this country during the 1830s. One of the chapters of his book was entitled “Trial by Jury in the United States Considered as a Political Institution.” I shall read excerpts from this chapter because it provides an excellent insight into the prestige attained by the system of jury trial from the observation of an unbiased observer. {{smaller block|[From de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” written after visiting America in the 1830s.]}} {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Trial by Jury in the United States Constitution as a Political Institution}}}}}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury, which is one of the forms of the sovereignty of the people, ought to be compared with the other laws which establish that sovereignty: Composition of the jury in the United States; effect of trial by jury upon the national character; it educates the people; how it tends to establish the influence of the magistrates and to extend the legal spirit among the people.}} {{smaller block|Since my subject has led me to speak of the administration of justice in the United States, I will not pass over it without referring to the institution of the jury. Trial by jury may be considered in two separate points of view: as a judicial, and as a political institution. * * *}} {{smaller block|My present purpose is to consider the jury as a political institution; any other course would divert me from my subject. Of trial by jury considered as a judicial institution I shall here say but little. When the English adopted trial by jury, they were a semi-barbarous people; they have since become one of the most enlightened nations of the earth, and their attachment to this institution seems to have increased with their increasing cultivation. They have emigrated and colonized every part of the habitable globe; some have formed colonies, others independent states; the mother country has maintained its monarchial constitution; many of its offspring have founded powerful republics; but everywhere they have boasted of the privilege of trial by jury. They have established it, or hastened to reestablish it, in all their settlements. A judicial institution which thus obtains the suffrages of a great people for so long a series of ages, which is zealously reproduced at every stage of civilization, in all the climates of the earth, and under every form of human {{SIC|govment|government}}, cannot be contrary to the spirit of justice.}} {{smaller block|But to leave this part of the subject. It would be a very narrow view to look upon the jury as a mere judicial institution; for however great its influence may be upon the decisions of the courts, it is still greater on the destinies of society at large. The jury is, above all, a political institution, and it must be regarded in this light in order to be duly appreciated.}} {{smaller block|By the jury I mean a certain number of citizens chosen by lot and invested with a temporary right of judging. Trial by jury, as applied to the repression of crime, appears to me an eminently republican element in the government, for the following reasons.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury may be aristocratic or democratic, according to the class from which the jurors are taken; but it always preserves its republican character, in that it places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed, or of a portion of the governed, and not in that of the government. Force is never more than a transient element of success, and after force comes the notion of right. A government able to reach its enemies only upon a field of battle would soon be destroyed. The true sanction of political laws is to be found in penal legislation; and if that sanction is wanting, the law will sooner or later lose its cogency. He who punishes the criminal is therefore the real master of society. Now, the institution of the jury raises the people itself, or at least a class of citizens, to the bench of judges. The institution of the jury consequently invests the people, or that class of citizens, with the direction of society.}} {{smaller block|In England the jury is selected from the aristocratic portion of the nation; the aristocracy makes the laws, applies the laws, and punishes infractions of the laws; everything is established upon a consistent footing, and England may with truth be said to constitute an aristocratic republic. In the United States the same system is applied to the whole people. Every American citizen is both an eligible and a legally qualified voter. The jury system as it is understood in America appears to me to be as direct and as extreme a consequence of the sovereignty of the people as universal suffrage. They are two instruments of equal power, which contribute to the supremacy of the majority. All the sovereigns who have chosen to govern by their own authority, and to direct society instead of obeying its directions, have destroyed or enfeebled the institution of the jury. The Tudor monarchs sent to prison jurors who refused to convict, and Napoleon caused them to be selected by his agents.}} {{smaller block|However clear most of these truths may seem to be, they do not command universal assent; and in France, at least, trial by jury is still but imperfectly understood. If the question arises as to the proper qualification of jurors, it is confined to a discussion of the intelligence and knowledge of the citizens who may be returned, as if the jury was merely a judicial institution. This appears to me the least important part of the subject. The jury is preeminently a political institution; it should be regarded as one form of the sovereignty of the people; when that sovereignty is repudiated, it must be rejected, or it must be adapted to the laws by which that sovereignty is established. The jury is that portion of the nation to which the execution of the laws is entrusted, as the legislature is that part of the nation which makes the laws; and in order that society may be governed in a fixed and uniform manner, the list of citizens qualified to serve on juries must increase and diminish with the list of electors. This I hold to be the point of view most worthy of the attention of the legislator; all that remains is merely accessory.}} {{smaller block|I am so entirely convinced that the jury is preeminently a political institution that I still consider it in this light when it is applied in civil causes. Laws are always unstable unless they are founded upon the customs of a nation; customs are the only durable and resisting power in a people. When the jury is reserved for criminal offenses, the people witness only its occasional action in particular cases; they become accustomed to do without it in the ordinary course of life, and it is considered as an instrument, but not as the only instrument, of obtaining justice.}} {{smaller block|When, on the contrary, the jury acts also on civil causes, its application is constantly visible; it affects all the interests of the community; everyone cooperates in its work; it thus penetrates into all the usages of life, it fashions the human mind to its peculiar forms, and is gradually associated with the idea of justice itself.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and man. If it had been as easy to remove the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have perished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that period save the liberties of England. In whatever manner the jury be applied, it cannot fail to exercise a powerful influence upon the national character; but this influence ts prodigiously increased when it is introduced into civil causes. The jury, and more especially the civil jury, serves to communicate the spirit of the judges to the minds of all the citizens; and this spirit, with the habits which attend it, is the soundest preparation for free institutions. It imbues all classes with a respect for the thing judged and with the notion of right. If these two elements be removed, the love of independence becomes a mere destructive passion. It teaches men to practice equity; every man learns to judge his neighbor as he would himself be judged. And this is especially true of the jury in civil causes; for while the number of persons who have reason to apprehend a criminal prosecution is small, everyone is liable to have a lawsuit. The jury teaches every man not to recoil before the responsibility of his own actions and impresses him with that manly confidence without which no political virtue can exist. It invests each citizen with a kind of magistracy; it makes them all feel the duties which they are bound to discharge toward society and the part which they take in its government. By obliging men to turn their attention to other affairs than their own, it rubs off that private selfishness which is the rust of society.}} {{smaller block|The jury contributes powerfully to form the judgment and to increase the natural intelligence of a people; and this, in my opinion, is its greatest advantage. It may be regarded as a gratuitous public school, ever open, in which every juror learns his rights, enters into daily communication with the most learned and enlightened members of the upper classes, and becomes practically acquainted with the laws, which are brought within the reach of his capacity by the efforts of the bar, the advice of the judge, and even the passions of the parties. I think that the practical intelligence and political good sense of the Americans are mainly attributable to the long use that they have made of the jury in civil causes.}} {{smaller block|I do not know whether the jury is useful to those who have lawsuits, but I am certain it is highly beneficial to those who judge them; and I look upon it as one of the most efficacious means for the education of the people which society can employ.}} {{smaller block|What I have said applies to all nations, but the remark I am about to make is peculiar to the Americans and to democratic communities. I have already observed that in democracies the members of the legal profession and the judicial magistrates constitute the only aristocratic body which can moderate the movements of the people. This aristocracy is invested with no physical power; it exercises its conservative influence upon the minds of men; and the most abundant source of its authority is the institution of the civil jury. In criminal causes, when society is contending against a single man, the jury is apt to look upon the judge as the passive instrument of social power and to mistrust his advice. Moreover, criminal causes turn entirely upon simple facts, which commonsense can readily appreciate; upon this ground the judge and the jury are equal. Such is not the case, however, in civil causes; then the judge appears as a disinterested arbiter between the conflicting passions of the parties. The jurors look up to him with confidence and listen to him with respect, for in this instance, his intellect entirely governs theirs. It is the judge who sums up the various arguments which have wearied their memory, and who guides them through the devious course of the proceedings; he points their attention to the exact question of fact that they are called upon to decide and tells them how to answer the question of law. His influence over them is almost unlimited.}} {{smaller block|If I am called upon to explain why I am but little moved by the arguments derived from the ignorance of jurors in civil causes, I reply that in these proceedings, whenever the question to be solved is not a mere question of fact, the jury has only the semblance of a judicial body. The jury only sanctions the decision of the judge; they sanction this decision by the authority of society which they represent, and he by that of reason and of law.}} {{smaller block|The jury, then, which seems to restrict the rights of the judiciary does in reality consolidate its power; and in no country are the judges so powerful as where the people share their privileges. It is especially by means of the jury in civil causes that the American magistrates imbue even the lower classes of society with the spirit of their profession. Thus the jury, which is the most energetic means of making the people rule, is also the most efficacious means of teaching it how to rule well.}} Mr. President, de Tocqueville contributed a great deal to literature and to society. He was a Frenchman who came to our country and studied our form of government. He was so impressed that he wrote the chapter on trial by jury, in which he emphasized the fact that the jury is the heart of the administration of justice in a democracy. On Friday, July 5, 1957, there was printed in the State, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C., an article quoting the then president of the American Bar Association, Mr. David F. Maxwell, on the subject of jury trials. I believe Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Philadelphia bar, of which our distinguished Presiding Officer [Mr. {{sc|Clark}}] is also a member. I am sure that the Presiding Officer, as well as the Senate, will be interested in what Mr. Maxwell had to say on the subject of jury trials, and that the views expressed by him will be of interest to everyone who believes in constitutional government. I read as follows: {{smaller block|The president of the American Bar Association today answered charges that trial by jury is an outmoded, time-consuming process which can be replaced by more efficient legal procedure.}} {{smaller block|David F. Maxwell, of Philadelphia, who heads the lawyers organization, said instead that jury trials are the ultimate protection against invasion of personal freedom.}} {{smaller block|He spoke at the diamond jubilee celebration of the State Bar of Texas.}} {{smaller block|“Too many persons today are prone to view trial by jury solely as a factfinding device, and hence expendable, if as good or better a method can be devised,” he said.}} {{smaller block|These critics are influenced, Maxwell said, by the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote that an experienced judge should be able to represent the commonsense of the community far better than the average jury.}} {{smaller block|The Pennsylvania attorney said, “Such a contention presupposes the ability of the trial judge to discard foibles and prejudices built up within himself through his personal experience and background,” adding that a group of average citizens can mete out more even justice than can the most competent and experienced judge.}} {{smaller block|“So let us in this country take warning,” he said. “The jury alone is able to function as the thin wedge of reserved power that separates our system of law from the monolithic, totalitarian despotism behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.”}} Mr. President, an editorial appeared in the Greenville (S. C.) News of June 6, 1957. It is entitled “Jury Trial Is at Heart of Rights Issue” and has this to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|The day after it was reported from Washington that the administration would protest the southern claim that the so-called civil-rights bill would deny the right to trial by jury, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate approved an amendment intended to guarantee that right to persons who might come under an injunction authorized in the proposed law.}} {{smaller block|In his several appearances before the Senate and House committees studying the various proposals, Attorney General Brownell tried to claim that a trial by jury would not be denied.

It is entitled “Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} Understands Threat to Liberty in Civil-Rights Bill” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Speaking at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society in Charleston, March 18, 1947, Senator {{sc|Joseph C.

The enemies of the South must not have any excuse for urging Federal intervention. Hoodlumism must be put down.

Responsible men must stay active in movements such as the citizens council, and prevent infiltration by troublemakers or hotheads.}} {{smaller block|If the South can speak with dignity in Washington and act with honesty and good sense at home, there will be more Senator O’Mahoneys who will realize southerners are fighting the good fight for American liberties.}} Mr. President, here is another article from the Charleston (S.

It is entitled “Trial by Jury Right of All Americans” and it appears in the June 5, 1957, issue of the News and Courier, and has this to say: {{smaller block|A guaranty of trial by jury, squeezed into a civil-rights law by vote of a Senate subcommittee, has been hailed as a southern victory.}} {{smaller block|This victory—though it is little more than solace in a string of defeats—in fact belongs to the American Republic. Southerners are not alone in danger. If the Federal Government can deprive southerners of the right of trial by jury, on the ground that they are unfair to Negroes, it can do the same to citizens of other regions on equally flimsy grounds.}} {{smaller block|Thanks to the NAACP and its political allies, defense of Negroes’ civil rights is popular today. Even at the sacrifice of rights of all citizens, restrictive laws have won serious support. The News and Courier finds biting irony in the need for Congress to guarantee the right of trial by jury. Americans have been brought up in the belief that the United States Constitution meant what it said in guaranteeing them this right.}} {{smaller block|Nowadays, the ruling clique no longer trusts ordinary people to govern themselves. Juries, they fear, will bring in unjust verdicts. The bosses prefer to entrust such delicate matters as civil rights to hand-picked Federal judges, who are screened by the Department of Justice and appointed by the President. With both national parties committed to the NAACP program, no lawyer who takes a strong stand against that program stands much chance of appointment. As older judges die or retire, Attorney General Brownell will make sure, insofar as he is able, that replacements have a “liberal” view of race.}} {{smaller block|With administration of election laws removed from the hands of elected State officials and placed under Federal appointees, government is being removed ever further from the people. The jury system, safeguard of Anglo–Saxon liberty, may yet be a victim of alien notions now gathering power in our Republic.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the May 10, 1957, issue of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “The Civil-Rights Fight and Trial-by-Jury Issue” and was written by the distinguished southern newspaperman, Dr. John Temple Graves. Here is what it has to say on the jury-trial issue: {{bc|{{smaller block|<poem>{{fqm|“}}Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight * * *”</poem>}}}} {{smaller block|Time accommodates.}} {{smaller block|Its comment on jury trials last week overlooked the Federal march of time.}} {{smaller block|Admitting that the trial-by-jury issue has come to dominate the civil-rights fight, the magazine pontificated that “the contempt citation is the judiciary’s historic enforcement tool.” It avowed that “jury trials in contempt cases have absolutely no basis in equity or constitutional law and precious little legislative sanction.”}} {{smaller block|The trick in this extraordinary statement is in Time’s small print at the bottom of the page. It explains that “with a single exception (the Norris–La Gaurdia Act covering labor disputes) trial by jury has never been required in contempt cases to which the United States has been a party.” With the United States Government proposing now to be a party to just about everything in heaven, earth, and the waters beneath—a new situation exists.}} {{smaller block|The Constitution loves the principle of trial by jury and says so over and over again. That great basic principle, rather than any technicality, is what is involved for the South.}} {{smaller block|Call it contempt or something else, let the Government be a party or not a party, what concerns us and what concerned the makers of the Constitution is that citizens in handcuffs shall not be adjudged by those who put the handcuffs on them, that the right of an accused to be properly tried in the Anglo–Saxon ideal shall not be abridged in the name of contempt or participation of the Government.}} {{smaller block|The Constitution speaks for this principle in article 3. The fifth amendment speaks for it, and the sixth, and the seventh.}} {{smaller block|Nothing in the whole instrument is more emphatic.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the April 8, 1957, issue of South, the news magazine of Dixie. It is entitled “Force Bill ‘Liberals’ Would Kill Jury Trial.” Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|It is incredible that those who like to boast that they are liberals and protectors of individual rights are crying the loudest for the currently misnamed civil-rights legislation which would deny alleged violators the right to trial by jury. The politically inspired anti-South force bill package has induced such a state of hypnosis in the self-styled liberals that they want to replace constitutional guarantees of civil liberties with their own false notions of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|If the question of race were not at issue, the very people who are pressing for passage of this abominable travesty on constitutional principle would be the first to denounce it for discarding the sacred right of trial by jury. At the outset the legislation violates the rights spelled out in article III., section 3, and by the seventh amendment, one of the historic ten making up the Bill of Rights. It would empower the United States Attorney General to seek injunctions against persons suspected of being about to violate the so-called civil-rights measure. Then a Federal judge, acting also as prosecutor and jury, would decree a whole community or State in contempt. An individual cited for contempt would be tried without a jury by the judge who cited him.}} {{smaller block|The proponents of this evil proposal know exactly what they are doing. By design they are taking away the right of jury trial. In fact, they are bold to say that if they did not set aside the right of trial by jury, they could not get convictions in the South. To allow jury trials, they say, would be to gut the bill. Attorney General Brownell is horror-struck at the thought that the no-jury-trial provision be stricken. President Eisenhower, who violates a campaign pledge made at Miami by pushing this legislation, says he would have to get Brownell’s opinion as to whether to sign or veto a civil-rights bill containing the assurance of jury trial in contempt cases. The civil strife proponents protest that this guaranty—in the Constitution which Eisenhower, Brownell, and all Congressmen are sworn to uphold—would cripple the bill. Has the President so soon forgotten that he said at Miami, 2 weeks before the election, that civil-rights problems should be handled to the greatest extent on a local and State basis?}} {{smaller block|Surely our liberals know that Hitler, Mussolini, and all tyrants from the time of King John (until forced to sign the Magna Carta) opposed jury trials because they would cripple their programs.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the April 14, 1957, issue of the Greenville, S. C., News. It is entitled “Jackie Robinson on Meet the Press: Negro Athlete Favors Jury Trials” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Jackie Robinson, Negro baseball star, when asked if he favored jury trials for civil-rights defendants, said Sunday night he would personally prefer a jury trial.}} {{smaller block|The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People strongly opposes a jury trial guaranty in criminal injunction cases arising under the bill.}} {{smaller block|Robinson is leading the NAACP’s freedom-fund campaign for a million dollars to attain first-class citizenship for all members.}} {{smaller block|The former Brooklyn Dodger told an NBC Meet the Press television panel that he did not know what the million dollars would be spent for—possibly for lawsuits against school segregation.}} {{smaller block|He said he favored the civil-rights bill but knows very little about it.}} {{smaller block|Frank Van Der Linden, this newspaper’s Washington correspondent, asked the questions about the civil-rights bill.}} This is a man, Mr. President, who favors the civil-rights bill, but even he says he favors a trial by jury. That is what the House did on this so-called compromise. In effect, they have nullified the right of trial by jury. There are very, very few instances in which a judge, when he finds a man guilty of contempt, would give a sentence of more than 45 days in prison or a fine of more than $300. That simply means the practical effect is that the jury trial has been completely nullified. As I have said earlier, and as I will say later in my address, the right of jury trial is something the Constitution grants to the citizens of the United States. The Congress does not have the authority to take the jury trial away from the people of America. Mr. President, I have an excerpt from an editorial from the August 26, 1957, issue of the Columbia (S. C.) Record. It is entitled “Jury-Trial Compromise No Compromise,” and this is what it has to say: {{smaller block|The “compromise” on the jury-trial amendment to the civil-rights bill, worked out between the House and Senate leaders of both parties, is anything but a genuine compromise. It is a nullification of the jury-trial principle, for which the southern Democrats fought so valiantly in the Senate.}} {{smaller block|The amendment written into the bill by the Senate provided that in all cases of criminal contempt defendants should be entitled to jury trials, guaranteed by the Constitution to all persons accused of crime. This applied not only to criminal contempt charges growing out of voting-right cases, but also to other criminal contempt proceedings as well.}} {{smaller block|The so-called compromise allows jury trials only in voting-rights cases and then only after a defendant has been tried and convicted without a jury trial and sentenced to more than 45 days’ imprisonment and a $300 fine. In such a case the defendant could ask for a jury trial and the case would then be tried ''de novo'' before a jury. But no jury, of course, could try such a case ''de novo'' in fact. Every juror would know that the defendant had been found guilty by a judge and given more than a minimum sentence. This is a condition precedent to a jury trial in these voting-right cases. And no jury trial under such circumstances is anything approaching the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the August 25, 1957, issue of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Jury Trial ‘Compromise’ Is False Bait in Wicked Trap for Liberty,” and here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|A proposed compromise now pending in Congress is as wicked and immoral, in our opinion, as total denial of trial by jury under Federal election laws.}} {{smaller block|Reports from Washington indicate a likelihood that the civil rights force bill may be rammed through Congress with this compromise to grease the way. Perhaps the northern scrambles for Negro votes and their “liberal” southern allies have the power in Congress to enact this hateful law. They should not get even silent support from anyone who loves the American Republic.}} {{smaller block|The compromise is really no compromise at all. It would grant the opportunity to seek a new trial before a jury by a defendant in an election case who had received a sentence greater than a $1,000 fine or 45 days in jail.}} The amount there, incidentally, Mr. President, should be corrected. Instead of a $1,000 fine, it should be a $300 fine. {{smaller block|But the size of a fine and the duration of imprisonment are not the key issue in this legislation. Penalties may be amended once the principle is set up. Besides, imprisoning State election officials even for a short time could rig the outcome of voting.}} {{smaller block|The key issue here is whether the liberty of a citizen, and the constitutional rights of the States to conduct free elections, should be sacrificed for the sake of current political advantage of national parties and politicians.}} As I have said before, Mr. President—to digress there—the only purpose of this so-called right-to-vote bill is to advance the cause of the national political parties with the minorities and to advance the cause of certain politicians. If it were not for the purpose of both parties playing to the minorities and advancing the cause of certain politicians to high offices, I do not believe this bill would ever have been introduced. It is a disgrace to the United States even to have the Congress consider such an abominable and obnoxious bill. {{smaller block|Behind this force bill lies a game of power politics. Both national parties are struggling to control the votes of herded Negroes in big northern cities and their liberal allies. These bloc voters are believed to hold the balance of political power in the United States.}} {{smaller block|Buried beneath the nauseating political greed that has produced this force bill are principles once dear to Americans. The bill has many of the earmarks of totalitarian government that the Constitution was built to prevent.}} Among these earmarks are Federal control of elections, seizing the power of the ballot box from the people most likely to be affected; substitution of judges for juries in enforcement of the law; and secrecy in working up prosecutions.}} {{smaller block|The bill would set up a powerful commission on the phony pretense of guarding voting rights of minority groups. This Commission’s actions would be shielded from public view. Persons are forbidden under penalties to make known what it is doing. The Star Chamber—a tyrannous device once used by English Kings—thus would be imposed for the first time on the United States.}} {{smaller block|Southerners may be overwhelmed by superior force, but they should go down fighting every step of the way.}} {{smaller block|In honorable defeat they may sound an alarm to fellow Americans not yet awake to dangers to the Republic. Passage of the civil-rights force bill would be a defeat for all citizens of whatever race or region, for it would help to set the stage for dictatorship and oppression. The compromise on which passage now seems to hinge is only a deceptive detail in a dirty business.}} Mr. President, I have here an excellent editorial from the Washington Evening Star of July 12, 1957. It is an editorial full of quotes, but the editor made his point well in this editorial without even having to insert his own comments. Here is what the editorial says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Brownell}} ''v.'' {{sc|Norris}}}}}} {{smaller block|Attorney General Brownell (in a letter explaining the civil-rights bill):}} {{smaller block|“Enactment of legislation providing for jury trial in contempt cases arising out of governmental litigation would undermine the authority of the Federal courts by seriously weakening their power to enforce their lawful orders. The effect of adopting current proposals for jury trial would be to weaken and undermine the authority of the Federal courts by making their every order, even when issued after due hearing and affirmed on appeal, reviewable by a local jury. * * *}} {{smaller block|“Furthermore the proposed amendment to existing procedures that is being advocated under the innocuous slogan of jury trial would permit practical nullification of the effectiveness of the proposed civil-rights legislation. The enforcement of any court order may require prompt and vigorous action if it is to be effective. Prompt action will often be vital in civil-rights cases, especially election cases, where the registration period or the election may pass while enforcement is delayed. The injection of a jury trial between an order of a court enjoining discrimination against Negroes in an election, and the enforcement of that order would provide numerous opportunities for delay beyond the time when the order could have practical effect.”}} {{smaller block|The late Senator George W. Norris (insisting on the right of trial by jury, by Congressional enactment, in every case of indirect contempt):}} {{smaller block|“I agree that any man charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.”}} I wish to repeat that statement. He said: {{smaller block|I agree that any many charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.}} Under the proposed compromise amendment which came from the House, the people will not get a jury trial. In 99 percent of the cases the judge will sentence people without a jury trial. It is said, “Well, they are able to get a jury trial if the fine is more than $300 or if the imprisonment is for more than 45 days.” That is not the point. The point is that in 99 percent of the cases the compromise would deny to the citizens a jury trial, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Congress should not be a party to violating the Constitution of the United States by passing the compromise amendment. I continue to read from the editorial: {{smaller block|“It is no answer to say that there will sometimes be juries which will not convict. That is a charge which can be made against our jury system. Every man who has tried lawsuits before juries, every man who has ever presided in court and heard jury trials, knows that juries make mistakes, as all other human beings do, and they sometimes render verdicts which seem almost obnoxious. But it is the best system I know of. I would not have it abolished; and when I see how juries will really do justice when a biased and prejudiced judge is trying to lead them astray I am confirmed in my opinion that, after all, our jury system is one which the American people, who believe in liberty and justice, will not dare to surrender. I like to have trial by jury preserved in all kinds of cases where there is a dispute of facts.”}} Mr. President, I have before me an editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) News of March 29, 1957, entitled “How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?” It reads: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?}}}}}} {{smaller block|Rather smugly, perhaps, we Americans have taken for granted our right to a trial before a jury when we stand accused of violating the law.}} {{smaller block|So fixed in our system of jurisprudence and our common concepts of justice is the jury trial that few of us ever have stopped to consider the difference between having our guilt or innocence determined by a group of ordinary citizens and having a judge, a creature of the Government, mete out justice singlehandedly, as he alone sees it.}} {{smaller block|Article III., section 2 of the United States Constitution, says that “the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.”}} {{smaller block|The sixth amendment, article VI. of the Bill of Rights, spells out further the right to the accused in criminal proceedings “to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. * * *”}} {{smaller block|It goes on to guarantee the accused the right to be informed specifically of the charges against him, to confront the witnesses against him, to subpena witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel.}} {{smaller block|The seventh amendment, article VII. of the Bill of Rights, provides that in suits at common law the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.}} {{smaller block|One would think that, with all these references in the Constitution, the right to a jury trial would be secure. But liberal elements, including our own Department of Justice, advocating passage of proposed civil-rights legislation are teaching us that this basic right is not so secure as we might have thought.}} {{smaller block|For the bills now before the Congress would, in fact, deny persons accused of violating the civil rights of others the right of a trial by a jury of citizens of their State and district. And the NAACP and Attorney General Brownell are insisting on this provision of the bill. Attempts of southern Senators and Congressmen to write into it a guaranty of that right have thus far been beaten down.}} {{smaller block|If the bill is enacted, the Government would be empowered to bring civil, rather than criminal charges, against an individual accused of violating someone else’s rights. He would be prosecuted by a Government attorney before a Federal judge, who might be sent in from outside his State, who would pass on the facts as well as the law and would pass sentence.}} {{smaller block|The accused would be just as apt to go to jail on the civil charge as he would if he were charged with a criminal offense in which the jury trial would be guaranteed. Indeed, the chances of his going to jail might be even greater.}} {{smaller block|But that is only part of it.}} {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint. If the individual did complain, the Government would bear the whole cost of prosecuting his case.}} {{smaller block|The defendant, on the other hand, would find himself faced with the necessity of hiring a lawyer and, perhaps, of going through a long series of court proceedings that could very well break him financially.}} {{smaller block|This could become vicious persecution instead of reasonable prosecution.}} {{smaller block|This threat of persecution is no less real in another phase of the proposed civil-rights legislation relating to the creation of a commission empowered to investigate alleged incidents of discrimination, economic boycotts, and the like.}} {{smaller block|If this plan became a reality, a citizen accused of discriminating against a member of a minority, or of applying economic pressure against him, could be ordered to report to a place in Washington at a given time and be subjected to an investigation.

And how liberal is it?}} Mr. President, I wish to repeat a paragraph in the editorial which I believe is most important. It should appeal to every lawyer, and, in fact, to every citizen. It reads: {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.}} Mr. President, I believe we are setting a very dangerous precedent when the Government can bring suits of the kind provided in the civil-rights bill, even if an individual does not complain. The Government can file a suit in behalf of an individual, even if the individual has not complained, and it can bring a suit for an individual who has complained. In either case, the Government can substitute its name in behalf of the defendant in bringing the case. Furthermore, the Government would bear the cost of prosecuting the case. The poor defendant must pay his own expense. If an individual wishes to bring a case in court, why should he not pay his own expense? Why should the Federal Government bear the expense of a person whose statement may be true or which may not be true? I can foresee untold litigation. I can see all kinds of fabrications being made in order to have cases brought. It is a dangerous bill, Mr. President. It is far more dangerous than I believe the average man on the street has been able to understand. The average man in the street does not realize what is in the bill. I cannot imagine why Members of Congress would even consider passing such a bill. Again I say that it would not even have been introduced, in my opinion, or given any consideration at all, if it were not purely a political bill.

It may be that only one issue is involved at present, but the future might well turn up an undesirable situation in which the principle wherein judges who find American citizens guilty of contempt, exercise such unlimited powers concerning various issues and freedom that any bill limiting the right of jury trial would be a tragedy and result in injustice to many Americans.}} {{smaller block|We do not believe that any one section of the country has a monopoly on all the good people in the United States. We believe that trial by jury is the best possible system establishing guilt and that the people themselves, who make up our juries, will come nearer seeing that justice is done than any group, acting individually, no matter how talented the various individuals may be.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Columbia (S. C.) State of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “A Wise Provision,” and here is what it has to say on the question of jury trials: {{smaller block|Administration forces fell before six Democrats and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who insisted upon including in the so-called civil-rights bill a proviso guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused in court in civil-rights cases. In supporting the amendment as a poor substitute for killing the bill, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} explained that the section would give civil-rights defendants the same right now enjoyed by trade unionists in labor injunction cases.}} {{smaller block|The development does not, however, meet with the approval of Attorney General Brownell, who has been playing out of position before now in lobbying for controversial and doubtful legislation, arraying section against section and class against class. He complains the proviso would permit practical nullification of proposed civil-rights legislation. In the words of Orphan Annie, “Would that be bad?”}} {{smaller block|One wonders just what the advocates of such legislation are after. Could they be seeking to destroy the Constitution?}} {{smaller block|Everything considered, the section guaranteeing jury trials to defendants in civil-rights cases follows the orderly procedure defined by the Founding Fathers as to the rights and dignity of the individual. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal triumphs of our Constitution as inherited from Magna Carta. There is no reason why any exception should be made to gratify the unilateral zeal of special interests of self-appointed reregulators.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, of July 10, 1957. Here is what it has to say: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|A Principle of Rights: South Making Its Point}}}}}} {{smaller block|More Senators, it appears, are seeing the validity of the South’s insistence on trial by jury as a fixed point of law and due process—{{SIC|bone|borne}} of contention with the civil-rights brigade. They are seeing, surely, what logic underscores: that if this principle falls under the impact of biased thinking against the South, it falls for all. It is not, therefore, a regional issue, but national. The southern protest is not addressed to a narrow, selfish view, but to a view exactly as broad as the Constitution—and as far reaching.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, has paid tribute to the fairness of southern colleagues—having spoken out prior to this showdown for the stated right of due process; and recognizing the progress already made, and voluntarily, on race relations. As a further point of edification, the fact of voting rights enjoyed and practiced in the South should be laid before him.}} {{smaller block|Who, influenced by propaganda to the contrary, has bothered to examine the record in State after State? By what process of competent investigation have these civil-rights firebrands arrived at a conclusion of wholesale indictment?}} {{smaller block|Voting is a privilege, as well as a duty, of citizenship, asserted and protected by law. With that principle there can be no quarrel. The issue is invasion by Federal authority, and methods of enforcement begetting strife by the measures of force contemplated in this iniquitous legislation.}} {{smaller block|There are States, outside the South, where people of voting age are denied the right to vote—Indians, for example. Negro citizens do vote, under the same rules of eligibilty applied in the case of white citizens; and if any Senator doubts that, he should come this way and watch.}} {{smaller block|In Tennessee, and other Southern States, he would find Negroes holding public office.

It is defending a basic right of responsible treatment, and the place of that defense is the floor of the Senate.}} {{smaller block|As manifested by the implied readiness of opponents to concede the trial-by-jury point, its stand to date is influencing that decision. It cannot compromise any principle to the detriment of established, constitutional rights, much less yield to the whip of caprice.}} A column written by Dr. John Temple Graves, one of the outstanding men in the South and in the Nation, printed in the Charleston, S. C., News and Courier of July 8, 1957, is entitled “South’s Most Civil Right Is Right To Be Let Alone,” reads as follows: {{smaller block|“The right to be let alone.”}} {{smaller block|That is our most civil liberty.}} {{smaller block|Remember it and be of good cheer as Senators from the South fight against the so-called civil-liberty bill.}} {{smaller block|Civil liberty is indivisible.}} {{smaller block|It is the whole Constitution, the whole ideal. When you sacrifice one part for another you decrease and endanger the total. When the right to jury trial is impeached to save the right to vote there is net loss, and the same loss runs the whole constitutional gamut.}} {{smaller block|Basically, all American rights are civil rights. States’ rights are civil. The rights of Congress against the Supreme Court are civil, and of the executive against each, and vice versa.}} {{smaller block|And when the Federal Government (or the State) invades areas never intended or authorized there is violation of the most civil right of all—the right to be let alone.}} {{smaller block|If the Founding Fathers made a mistake, if they failed to look ahead enough, if they should have anticipated a future so social and interrelated that nothing short of a totalitarian central government and law would serve, we should face it and get a new Constitution.

The Baltimore Sun nails it thus: “The injunction contemplated would forbid actions already forbidden under Federal criminal laws. This being so, the injunction procedure is obviously a judicial shortcut, and one which would deprive those cited for contempt of a right which would be guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution (if they) were indicted for the same offense. It is proposed to assure one right—the right to vote—by ignoring another right—the right to a jury trial.”}} {{smaller block|As pointed out here many times, jury trials should be stretched just as far as contempt is stretched, you would think. The civil-rights bill would stretch contempt into areas that ordinarily involve jury trial.

Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question, with the understanding that he will not lose his right to the floor, and the understanding that it will not be considered a second speech or jeopardize the Senator’s right to the floor? Mr. THURMOND. If unanimous consent is granted, under the conditions which the distinguished Senator has outlined, I will be pleased to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from California? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I shall preface my question by this brief statement of fact, namely, since the House has adopted a ''sine die'' adjournment resolution, and there is no fixed period for adjournment, and the Senate can, and in my judgment will, continue in session as long as it is necessary to complete its business, I put these questions in all seriousness to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina: First. What is the Senator’s purpose by his interesting but prolonged remarks? Is it a matter of education of the Senate or of the country? Second. Is it to establish a record of discussion on the floor of the Senate? Third. Is it merely to delay a vote on the civil rights bill, which is the pending business? Fourth. Is it to prevent a final vote on H. R. 6127, the so-called civil rights bill? Fifth. Is it to make friends and to influence other Senators in the southern position? Sixth. Is it to emphasize to the Senate the need for a change, beginning in January, of rule XXII.? There may be other reasons, but I should be very much interested—and I believe the Senate would be interested also—if the Senator from South Carolina would agree to indicate the purpose of his prolonged address. Mr. THURMOND. I would merely say that my purpose in making the extended address is for educational purposes—to educate the Senate and the people of the country. There is no question in my mind that the so-called civil-rights bill violates the Constitution of the United States. I do not believe the Senator was in the Chamber when I spoke earlier and cited a decision pointing out that criminal contempt has been held to be a crime and that under the Constitution of the United States it is provided that a man charged with crime shall get a jury trial. The so-called compromise bill provides that if a person is sentenced by a judge by being fined more than $300 or imprisoned for more than 45 days, he will get a jury trial. The Constitution does not say that. The Constitution provides that if he is charged with a crime, he shall get a jury trial. I believe in the Constitution. I believe that the Constitution is clear. I hope the Senator will take the time one of these days—probably he will not have an opportunity soon—to read the address I have made in which I have gone into these matters and have tried to delineate them and point them out for the benefit of the American people, as well as for the benefit of the Senate. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am confident that the pending bill is a dangerous bill in a number of ways. I have pointed out that it is necessary that every State in the Nation have laws to protect the right to vote. The Senator’s own State of California has such laws. I started with the State of Alabama and read the laws for every State. Those laws were confirmed to be accurate by the Library of Congress. I read the State laws beginning with Alabama and ending with Wyoming. Every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote. I say there is no need for the pending bill. This is a matter that comes under the Constitution, and it should be left to the States. It is a State matter. It is not a Federal matter. Furthermore, the Federal Government has invaded the field. It has already invaded the field. I believe it made a mistake when it did so. I should like to invite the attention of the Senator—again I do not believe he was in the Chamber when I referred to it previously—section 594 of chapter 29 of title 18 of the United States Code. That section provides: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield again under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. That is the Federal law today. If anyone is being denied his right to vote today he has recourse to that statute. If anyone is being denied the right to vote and complains about it, the Justice Department fails to do its duty if it fails to prosecute under that section of the Federal statute. Either that condition exists or there are no just complaints. The Committee on the Judiciary held hearings for months on the question, and it did not have before it one valid complaint. It had some fictitious complaints from a parish in Mississippi. It turned out that they asked a witness to return the next day, but he did not return, and it proved that the whole testimony was a fabrication, according to the chairman of the committee. Therefore, there are State laws which protect the right to vote, and there is a Federal law which protects the right to vote. Under that act, if a man is tried, he would have a right to trial by jury. Under the so-called compromise, if he is tried, he would not have the right of trial by jury if the sentence were less than $300 or if the imprisonment were for less than 45 days. Ninety-nine percent of all the criminal contempt cases would fall within that sphere. I was a circuit court judge for 8 years and heard cases all over South Carolina. I cannot remember the case of even one man who was sentenced by me or by any other circuit court judge in South Carolina for contempt of court for longer than 45 days in jail. Therefore, the effect of the so-called compromise is to deny to the citizens of South Carolina and of the United States the right to a jury trial, as is guaranteed in several places in the Constitution. That is the reason I have made this extended address. It is to call to the attention of the Senate and to the people of the Nation that the pending bill is a dangerous bill. In my opinion, it is purely a political bill. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions as heretofore stated? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I can assure the Senator, whether we make that proviso in our remarks back and forth, the Senator will be fully protected in his rights to the floor. Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield to the Senator from California under those conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I did listen to the earlier part of the Senator’s address. I was in the Chamber at the time. I must confess that for several hours I did get some sleep and was able to freshen up and to change my clothes, and I am now back in the Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. I notice that the Senator looks very fresh at about 6:45 in the morning. Mr. KNOWLAND. Yes. I am glad to be here with the Senator. Of course, the question which obviously disturbed a majority of the two Houses of Congress was that the statutes which are now on the statute books were not effective in protecting those constitutional rights. The Senators who felt that way are just as sincere as the Senator from South Carolina. I know the Senator from South Carolina has a deep conviction and is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. However, I refer to the provisions of section 1 of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, which provides: {{smaller block|The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.}} Section 2 of the 15th amendment reads: {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.}} Both sections point up the fundamental constitutional right of American citizens and clearly underscore the fact that Congress not only has the right, but the responsibility in this field. The Senator may feel that in his State or perhaps in other States—and I have no doubt it is true in many areas of the South—there is no problem relative to the voting rights of American citizens. But at least the predominant opinion in Congress indicates that there is also a strong feeling that in many areas—and this may not be related only to the South, for that matter—the full rights under the 15th amendment are not being effectively implemented. It was for that reason that the House, by a vote, I believe, of more than 2 to 1, and the Senate finally by a very substantial majority, passed the bill, which is now going through another legislative process. It finally came back to the Senate floor after the House had concurred and amended the Senate version, as the House had a right to do. My only point is that obviously the Senate of the United States is going to stay in session and complete work on the proposed legislation. It may sit for the remainder of the week, and it may sit next month and, if necessary, the month after that. I wish to emphasize to the Senator from South Carolina that, so far as the recommendations of the minority leader might be followed—and I know of no difference of opinion so far as the majority is concerned, although I cannot speak for the majority, and I would not attempt to do so—there will be no ''sine die'' adjournment resolution adopted by the Senate which would permit Congress to adjourn the first session of the 85th Congress until we have completed the work on the pending legislation, which is the civil-rights bill, and completed the work on the proposed legislation dealing with the mutual aid appropriation bill. Therefore, there is no fixed hour and date of adjournment. I was wondering, therefore, why the Senator was making his extended address, and that is the reason I asked the questions I asked of him. He said he was making the address for the purpose of an educational campaign, for the benefit of the country and the Senate. I was wondering whether he hoped to prevent passage of the bill or merely delay its passage, or whether he had some other reason in mind. Mr. THURMOND. In answer to the distinguished Senator, I wish to say that I should be highly pleased if the bill did not pass. I should like to ask the Senator this question: Under the statute which I have just read—and that is not a State statute, but a Federal statute, which provides “whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote as he may choose,” and so forth, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both—is there any deficiency in the statute? Is that not as clear as it can be? If anyone interferes with another’s right to vote, or intimidates, or if he threatens or coerces, he shall be punished. Is that not what it says? If that is the case, why does the Senator believe we should have another statute on voting added to it? Is this statute deficient? The Senator says the present laws are defective, as I understand. The statute I have read is a criminal statute. It will punish a guilty person by fining him for as much as $1,000 and could send him to jail for a year. In what respect does the Senator believe the statute is defective? Mr. KNOWLAND. I shall not at this hour get into a detailed legal argument, because I am not a lawyer, but a newspaperman; furthermore, I would not attempt to put myself up against the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, who has been a judge in his own State and has been for a long time a distinguished member of the bar. I have listened to the arguments on the floor of the Senate. I have read a number of the reports and the proceedings, and I have had some discussions with people who are familiar with the circumstances connected with the subject. I do know that those in the Department of Justice who have been concerned with this problem apparently feel that that statute is not effective so far as the constitutional rights of American citizens are concerned. Secondly, I am not in a position to argue with the Senator relative to what the legal definition of coercion is. I do say to the Senator that I believe there are various forms of coercion, some of which might be very difficult to prove in a court of law, but which might still be equally effective in keeping people from exercising their voting rights. The coercion might consist of economic pressure, or there might be some difficulty about finding work in a community or there might be the difficulty of a small merchant maintaining his business. It might be very difficult to trace such things to the fact that a person had tried to go to a voting place on voting day to cast his vote. Nevertheless, such coercion could be quite effective in keeping a person from exercising his right to the voting franchise. It is also true that in the debate which has taken place on the floor of the Senate it was disclosed that in one of the parishes or voting districts in a Southern State which had been mentioned on the floor of the Senate, there had been the situation where certain facts were laid before a grand jury in that particular State, and the facts were very clear, but still no action was taken in that particular situation. I will say to the Senator that it should be remembered that the bill has now been stripped practically to a voting-rights bill. Furthermore, I certainly believe that the fundamental right of an American citizen in this day and age should be protected, because every citizen has the right to vote. If that right is assured to a citizen, in time he may help himself secure the other civil rights to which he is entitled and which are guaranteed to him by the 14th amendment. The bill before us, as I say, is primarily a voting-rights bill. Those who have had some responsibility in this field—and I think some knowledge of it also—feel that the procedure outlined in the bill would at least facilitate the exercise of the voting rights of American citizens in all sections of the country. Mr. THURMOND. I might say to the distinguished Senator that he is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. Even though he is not a lawyer, he knows a statute when he hears one read. The criminal statute I have read is just as plain as any criminal statute can be. I am in favor of having every qualified voter enjoy the right of franchise. I want to say that in my State every qualified voter has that privilege. No one—white, colored, or anyone else—is denied the right to vote in South Carolina. The statute I have read protects people from being coerced and intimidated and threatened in any way. If there is any violation of law now, a person who is discriminated against may go to the Department of Justice, and under the statute I have read a violator of that statute will be either sent to jail or fined or both. What the proposed compromise would do would be to take away that right of trial by jury. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say that both the original bill as passed by the two Houses and the final form now before us are not intended to deprive anyone of his vote, but to encourage the constitutional right of people to enjoy the right to vote. The fact of the matter is that quite a due process procedure is set up. If a person comes forward and alleges that he has been denied the right, there is a procedure set up by which he may go into Federal court, under his constitutional right, under the 15th amendment and the other constitutional rights he has, and make certain allegations. The judge must make certain findings. If he finds the facts are correct, he issues a court order, directed to what we in our State would call the registrar of voters, but what in other States might be the county clerk, or whatever else he might be, and says, in effect, “You are violating the constitutional rights of this man. He is being discriminated against under the laws of this State. Put him on the registration rolls.” If the local official complies with the law and complies with the Constitution, nobody is fined, and nobody goes to jail. It is only if the local official or the local individuals involved in the case ignore the order of the court and, in effect, say that “we will not comply with the order seeking to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens,” that the judge may, under either civil contempt, which may be used in most cases, and may in most cases be effective, or under the criminal contempt provisions, impose the penalties. So this bill is not seeking to punish people. To the contrary, it is seeking to gain for American citizens the very fundamental right to vote. If nobody is denied the right to vote in the State of the Senator from South Carolina, there will not be a single citizen in the State of South Carolina who will be involved in either a civil or criminal contempt. If nobody is being denied the right to vote in any other State, there will not be a single citizen, man or woman, who will be involved in either civil or criminal contempt under this bill. There will not be large numbers of persons who will be fined or jailed for 10 days or 30 days or 45 days, to force compliance with the constitutional rights of American citizens. That is going to be so only if the conditions which the Senator says prevail in his State do not prevail in other areas of the country and large numbers of American citizens are denied their constitutional rights. It seems to me it is all clear and simple. The Senator has nothing to fear in his own State or in any other State, because if nobody is being denied the right to vote, nobody can be punished by either civil or criminal contempt proceedings under the bill. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to say, in reply to that statement, whether a single person in South Carolina would be affected by the bill or not would not change my opinion about the bill, because the bill as passed by the House affects American citizens everywhere. The bill the Senate passed delineated and made a distinction between civil contempt, the purpose of which is to bring about compliance with an order, and criminal contempt, the purpose of which is to punish for a crime. A criminal contempt has been held, in a court decision which I cited earlier today, to be a crime. Criminal contempt is a crime. The bill as passed by the House provides for punishment for criminal contempt and provides that a judge can try the case, in his discretion. The defendant does not get a jury trial for a criminal contempt unless the punishment goes beyond 45 days or beyond a $300 fine. I am not concerned about the people of South Carolina violating the voting rights of citizens, because I do not think anybody in South Carolina is violating anyone’s voting rights. I presume this bill is aimed chiefly at helping the Negroes, is it not, Senator? Mr. KNOWLAND. No. The bill would be aimed at any American citizen, without regard to race, creed, or color, whose voting rights under the 15th amendment would be denied. Mr. THURMOND. As a matter of fact, it is the Negro whom it is chiefly aimed to help. Is that not a fact? Mr. KNOWLAND. I suppose most allegations of a denial of voting rights come from colored citizens of the United States, but I assume the same situation might apply to Indians, in some instances, or might apply to others who might be entitled, under the Constitution, to the right to vote; but it is not aimed at any one race or one section of the country. The Constitution, as the Senator well knows, and I think would not dispute, applies to all 48 States of the Union, and not merely to a part of the Union. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is correct, but I refer to the practical purpose of the bill. I understood that was so admitted, and one reason why the right of trial by jury was attempted to be taken away was that southern juries would not convict in cases involving the right of Negroes to vote. For the Senator’s information, in my State I would like him to know that in the 1952 election President Eisenhower lacked just a few votes of carrying the State. The Negroes voted in heavy numbers. The Negro newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer, of Columbia, S. C., published by and for Negroes, bragged about the fact that they were responsible for winning the State for Stevenson. It said that more than 80,000 of them had voted in that election, and that represented about one-fourth of the entire votes cast in that general election. The Negroes of our State comprise only 40 percent of the population. If they voted to the extent of almost one-fourth of all the votes cast in that election—and they probably voted more, because they admitted they cast that many—think it is indicative that the Negroes are voting in large numbers. Of course, they are not so well qualified to vote as are the White people. I do not know of a Negro in South Carolina who is qualified and wants to vote who is denied that privilege. So Negroes are voting in my State. Mr. KNOWLAND. I might say to the Senator I was in his State in 1952. I happened to travel with then General Eisenhower, who was a candidate for the presidency before he became President of the United States. I attended meetings with the President-to-be. The point I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not dispute the fact, as stated by the distinguished Senator, that a large number—perhaps a good majority—of the Negro citizens of this country or of his State may be registered Democrats. I think they may continue to vote for the Democratic ticket, so far as that is concerned. They may have been responsible, as the Senator says, for having carried South Carolina for Stevenson— Mr. THURMOND. That is what they said. Mr. KNOWLAND. Or, at least, that is what they said; but that would not change my viewpoint in the slightest, as a Republican, if they were entitled as American citizens to vote, even though they were responsible for the defeat of my party in that State. I might say that in the northern areas, the heavily populated areas, with large Negro populations, for the most part Negroes have voted the Democratic ticket, and generally for New Deal candidates, and it certainly is not politically advantageous to my party when they vote that way. That still would not change my viewpoint that, if they, are American citizens and if under the Constitution they are entitled to the right of any other citizen to vote, which the Constitution clearly gives them, both the Senate and the House, as well as the executive branch of the Government and the local public officials and the national public officials, have the responsibility to see that they are not denied the right to vote and to exercise their constitutional rights, whether the citizens may be predominantly Democratic, predominantly Republican, or predominantly Independent. That point is not at issue here. The issue is whether they are entitled, under the qualifications of the State laws, and under the Constitution of the United States, to vote. If they are, they should be assured that every public official who raises his hand to support both the State and National Constitution has the responsibility to see that citizens get the right to vote when they want to exercise it. In this country, we do not have coerced voting, where citizens have to go to the polls. But if citizens want to do so, they should be allowed to do so, without any direct intimidation or without any of the more subtle, indirect intimidations or coercions which sometimes can be practiced, as the distinguished Senator knows. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator if he has had evidence presented to him which has convinced him that there is a need for this bill to be passed, in spite of all the laws the States have to protect the right to vote, and in spite of section 594 of the United States criminal code which protects the right to vote. Has the Senator ever had evidence presented to him that convinced him it is necessary to pass the bill, in spite of the laws of the States and the Federal statutes? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator if I did not feel that it was both necessary and desirable to pass the bill, I would not have supported it. I believe there have been sufficient facts presented to indicate that a bill of this type is both necessary and desirable. I have never taken the position on the floor, or publicly or privately, in which I have made a blanket indictment and stated that southern juries would not convict, because I have the highest respect for the people of the South, for their responsibilities of citizenship, for their loyalty to this country, and for the fact that they have served in uniform side by side with citizens from other sections of the country in fighting off our enemies in the various struggles in which this Nation has been engaged. I have never suggested that there should be a blanket indictment of a whole people under any circumstances. I do not now say that the facts outlined by the Senator from South Carolina, with respect to his own State, are not correct. Of course, I do not know his State as well as does the Senator from South Carolina, but if he tells me that there are no cases where a person is deprived of his right to vote, where a Negro citizen, if he possesses precisely the same qualifications that would be expected of a white citizen— Mr. THURMOND. None that I know about. Mr. KNOWLAND. That he has exactly the same rights to register, exactly the same rights to vote, I take the Senator’s word for it, because I have great respect for him. I will say, however, that in the facts presented by the Attorney General’s office before the committee, relative to another State in the broad general area of the South—I might say the same thing might apply in an area of the North or the West, for that matter, because what we are seeking to protect is the rights of American citizens in all 48 States of the Union—it was shown that large numbers of persons who had been registered were purged from the registration rolls. The predominant number, if not all of the purgees, were members of the Negro race, with very few, if any, members of the white race. Purely on the law of averages, to a reasonable man, one would not have to be a lawyer to know that it does not seem to be a matter of chance. Then when they sought to re-register, according to the facts presented, the local registrar indicated, though there were several thousand of them, he could not register more than 50 a day. That meant those persons had to stand in line for long periods of time, which would naturally be a discouraging thing in trying to get back on the registration rolls. There was used the apparently rather interesting and novel provision of verbal question. I doubt very much whether many, if any, Members of the Senate could have answered some of the questions which were asked. If a question was answered one way, that apparently was not the right answer. If the question was answered the other way, which any reasonable person might have done, that apparently was not the right answer. Perhaps the same position would have been taken by the local registrar if the citizen involved had been of any other race, but, again, to a reasonable person it seems that there was at least an effort made to discourage American citizens from exercising the right of franchise. I again reiterate that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that occurrence did not take place in the State of South Carolina. The Senator has made a very fine statement of the rights the citizens of his State enjoy. I think all Americans will rejoice in that fact. I want to say there is nothing in the proposal before the Senate which will in the least change the power of the States to prescribe the qualifications of their voters. They have that right under our Federal system. I think, however, the States have the obligation not merely to give lip service to, but to follow both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and that whenever such qualifications are prescribed, whatever they may be, they should be applied impartially and equitably to every American citizen, regardless of his race, color, creed, or previous condition of servitude. Those are the words of the Constitution. Those are the words that every citizen occupying a position as a registrar, a county clerk, or a local voting commissioner has a full obligation to comply with. Such persons should not apply one rule to one group of citizens and a different rule to a different group of citizens. If they will apply the laws with equity and with impartiality, then they have nothing to fear in the slightest in the way of either civil or criminal contempt under this bill, at least in my judgment. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator from California one more question, and with that I will desist. Although the Senator is not a lawyer, he is one of the best read men in the United States. I imagine he is an expert on the Constitution, also, because he is a very deep student. I wonder how the Senator could agree to this compromise, which would deprive people in criminal contempt cases of the right to a trial by jury, when the Constitution is so clear on that point? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator that I will leave the matter to the lawyers, to debate later the specific point which the Senator mentions. I, at least, have heard of no section of the country where there is a provision for a trial by jury in an equity proceeding where there is a contempt of the court. Mr. THURMOND. I am speaking of criminal contempt. Mr. KNOWLAND. I know, but I am speaking also of a contempt of the court in carrying out its order in an equity proceeding. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to that I will say to the Senator I agree that in civil contempt cases under the present law the court has the right to use its power to bring about compliance with an order, in civil contempt cases. However, I am speaking of criminal contempt cases, which are provided for in the compromise bill. The bill provides for criminal contempt actions. Criminal contempt is a crime. I have here a decision which sustains that point. Since criminal contempt is a crime, there is a right to a trial by jury. The Constitution of the United States in article III., section 2, says this: {{smaller block|The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases or Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; * * *.}} The sixth amendment reads: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions—}} That is what we are referring to. We refer to a criminal prosecution for criminal contempt. It is a prosecution by the judge, who is the prosecutor, the legislature, the judge, and the jury. The court has held that criminal contempt is a crime, and the Constitution makes reference to all criminal prosecutions. We refer here to a criminal prosecution. The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * *.}} And so forth. In the seventh amendment to the Constitution there is also a reference to a jury trial. The amendment I have read is exactly to the point. If the Senator had provided in the compromise bill that the judge could impose a sentence of imprisonment for 1 day—not 45 days, but even 1 day—or a fine of even $1 in a criminal-contempt case, he would be giving the judge the power to try a man without a jury in violation of the Constitution, even though the punishment would be negligible. What I am opposed to is the fact that the compromise bill, the way it is written and the way it has come to the Senate, violates the Constitution of the United States. I am vitally concerned about that. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator will yield further, then I shall not interrupt him any more. All I can say to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is that the highest law officers of the Government of the United States are the Attorney General of the United States and representatives of the Department of Justice. They, too, have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The most able lawyers in the Department of Justice have looked over the proposed legislation, as well. In their judgment, it is constitutional and it does not violate the Constitution of the United States. The Senator is entitled, of course, to make the assertion that in his judgment the provision is not constitutional. Such arguments come up even before the Supreme Court of the United States, as the distinguished Senator knows, from time to time, as well as before other courts. Sometimes the judges can agree by a unanimous vote as to what they think is constitutional or what they think is unconstitutional. However, over the long period of our history there have been many notable cases relative to the constitutionality of some act of Congress or the constitutional rights of some individual as to which the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest judicial tribunal of the land, has divided on a 5-to-4 decision. The Senator’s assertion that the provision is not constitutional—I am sure the Senator would be the first to admit—does not make it unconstitutional. I quite admit that the assertion of any qualified lawyer on this side, who might make the assertion the provision was constitutional, would not, by that assertion, make it so. Nor would the opinion of the Attorney General make it so. At least I do not want the record to show that merely by having the Senator make the assertion that in his judgment it is not constitutional, necessarily, ''ipso facto'', that assertion makes a fact. Mr. THURMOND. Of course, we remember also that the Attorney General in the original bill wanted to transfer these matters to the equity side of the court to deprive citizens of the right of jury trial. We have to keep that in mind. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the distinguished Senator will yield further, I wish to thank him for his courtesy in yielding. I hope he has enjoyed our discussion as much as I have. I hope perhaps it has been a brief respite to him, under all the circumstances. I would stay to listen to the Senator, but I have a breakfast engagement with the President at the White House. I know under those circumstances the distinguished Senator will excuse me. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to yield to the distinguished Senator, for whom I have such high admiration. Mr. President, I continue to read my statement: {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTIES}}}} {{smaller block|Before taking up specific provisions of several of the bills pending before the committee, I should like to read for you two of the basic provisions in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|The ninth amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”}} {{smaller block|The 10th amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”}} {{smaller block|Those last two amendments of the Bill of Rights make clear the intent of the Founding Fathers. Their intent was that all rights not specifically listed, and all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government, would be held inalienable by the States, and the people.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS UNALTERED}}}} {{smaller block|This basic concept of the Bill of Rights has never been constitutionally amended, no matter what the Federal courts have done, no matter what the executive branch of the Federal Government has done, and no matter what the Congress might have done or attempted to do in the past.

Having made these general comments, I would like to comment specifically on some of the pending proposals. First, on the proposal for the establishment of a Commission on Civil Rights.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|COMMISSION UNNEEDED}}}} {{smaller block|There is absolutely no reason for the establishment of such a commission. The Congress and its committees can perform all of the investigative functions which would come within the sphere of constitutional authority.}} {{smaller block|I do not believe the members of any commission, however established, could represent the views of the people of this country as well as the Members of Congress can. I hope that the members of this committee and the Members of the Congress will not permit themselves to be persuaded that anyone else can look after the problems of the people any better, or as well, as the Congress can.}} {{smaller block|Furthermore, there is no justification for an investigation in this field.}} {{smaller block|I hope this committee will recommend against the establishment of such a commission.}} {{smaller block|Another bill would provide for an additional Assistant Attorney General to head a department given by the Attorney General last year. I have searched the testimony given by the Attorney General last year before the committees of the Congress with regard to this proposal, and I have found no valid reason why an additional Assistant Attorney General is needed.}} {{smaller block|I can understand how an additional Assistant Attorney General might be needed if the Congress were to approve a Civil Rights Division and enact some of the other proposals in the so-called civil-rights bills. But they are proposals not dealing with criminal offenses—they deal with efforts of the Justice Department to enter into civil actions against citizens.}} {{smaller block|If the Justice Department is permitted to go into the various States to stir up and agitate persons to seek injunctions and to enter suits against their neighbors, then the Attorney General might need another assistant. However, the Justice Department should avoid civil litigation, instead of seeking to promote it.}} {{smaller block|I hope the members of this committee will recognize this proposal as one which could turn neighbor against neighbor, and will treat it as it deserves by voting against it.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|WORSE THAN ''EX POST FACTO''}}}} {{smaller block|Another proposal of the so-called civil-rights bills is closely related to the one I have just discussed. It would provide that—}} {{smaller block|“Whenever any persons have engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action * * * the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States but for the benefit of the real party in interest, a civil action or other proper proceeding or redress or preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order.”}} {{smaller block|Now that proposal is one which I would label as even more insidious than any ''ex post facto'' law which could possibly be imagined.}} {{smaller block|An ''ex post facto'' law would at least apply to some real act committed by a person which was not in violation of law at the time. The point is, however, in such instance the person would actually have committed the act.}} {{smaller block|This proposal would permit the Justice Department to secure an injunction from a Federal judge or to institute a civil suit on behalf of some person against a second person when the latter had committed no act at all. An injunction might be secured from a Federal judge charging a violation of the law without any evidence that a person even intended to do so.}} {{smaller block|How any person could support by oath a charge as to whether another person was about to engage in violating the law is beyond my understanding.}} {{smaller block|Many of the pioneers who settled this new continent came because they wanted to escape the tyranny of European despots.

We should never consider it at all. But, if this proposal to strengthen the civil-rights statutes is approved, that would be its effect.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|AGENTS COULD MEDDLE}}}} {{smaller block|Under this provision, the Attorney General could dispatch his agents throughout the land.

They would keep our people in a constant state of apprehension and harassment. Liberty quickly perishes under such government, as we have seen it perish in foreign nations.}} {{smaller block|A further provision of that same proposal would permit the bypassing of State authorities in such cases. The Federal district courts would take over original jurisdiction, regardless of administrative remedies, and the right of appeal to the State courts.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|STATE COURTS STRIPPED}}}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and vest the Federal courts with that authority.}} {{smaller block|Still another proposal among the so-called civil-rights bills would “provide a means of further securing and protecting the right to vote.” I have had a search made of the laws of all 48 States and the right to vote is protected by law in every State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|SOUTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION PROTECTS VOTER}}}} {{smaller block|In South Carolina, my own State, the constitution of 1895 provides in article III., section 5, that the general assembly shall provide by law for crimes against the election laws and, further, for right of appeal to the State supreme court for any person denied registration.}} {{smaller block|The South Carolina election statute spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court. It also requires a special session of the court if no session is scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|Article II., section 15 of South Carolina’s constitution, provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State.}} {{smaller block|In pursuance of the constitutional provisions, the South Carolina General Assembly has passed laws to punish anyone who shall threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage.

Mr. President, on August 6 I made my third address on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced my vigorous objections to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127, as amended by the Senate, which was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of this bill. I shall now repeat my several objections to this milder form of the bill as I stated them on August 6. These were my words at that time: {{smaller block|Mr. President, I am opposed to the creation of a Commission on Civil Rights as proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127.}} {{smaller block|To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a Commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, such an investigation should be conducted by the States or by an appropriate committee of the Congress, acting within the jurisdiction of Congressional authority. It should not be done by a commission.}} {{smaller block|I also object to part I. of H. R. 6127 because of the fact that it places duties upon the Commission and endows it with powers which no governmental commission should have.}} {{smaller block|In fact, Mr. President, the language of the bill proposing to establish this Commission is so broad and so general that it may encompass more evils than have yet been detected in it.}} {{smaller block|Under its duties and powers the Commission would be able to subpena citizens to appear before it to answer questions on many subjects outside the scope of elections and voting rights.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(1) Investigate allegations in writing under oath or affirmation that certain citizens of the United States are being deprived of their right to vote and have that vote counted by reason of their color, race, religion, or national origin; which writing, under oath or affirmation, shall set forth the facts upon which such belief or beliefs are based.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, the bill, in part IV., contains an additional protection of the voting right of citizens above and beyond present State and Federal laws. Provision is made for enforcement of part IV., and there were already sufficient enforcement provisions to carry out the intent of the existing State and Federal laws. I do not see how a commission could enhance officers nor the powers of law enforcement officers nor the enforcement and punitive authority of the courts.}} {{smaller block|I can see no valid reason why a commission should be created, in addition to the legal enforcement procedures, unless the purpose is for the Commission to stir up litigation among our people.}} {{smaller block|This bill has been advertised, promoted, and ballyhooed as a right-to-vote bill. However, I want to cite two paragraphs which give broad authority for investigations other than alleged violations of a person’s right to vote.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|“(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|Instead of limiting the power of the Commission, these two paragraphs provide it with ''carte blanche'' authority to probe into and meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals which the Commission and members of its staff could conjure up.}} {{smaller block|I want to call particular attention to a divergence in language between paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 refers to a study of “legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection.” Paragraph 3 says “appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection.”}} {{smaller block|The significant thing here is the omission of the specific intent of paragraph 2. Although the language of paragraph 2 is obscure and omits a governmental reference, it obviously must refer to State and local governments, else it would be redundant and have no meaning at all.}} {{smaller block|Also, as I pointed out, investigations conducted under paragraphs 2 and 3 could go far afield from the question of voting rights. The Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools, and elsewhere, under the authorization of these two paragraphs. Combining its authority to investigate on an unlimited scale and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions, the Commission would have a powerful weapon.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I do not believe the people of this country realize the virtually unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. While the Commission would have no power to implement its desires, I do not believe the people of this country want such a totalitarian type of persuasion imposed upon them.}} {{smaller block|Part I. of H. R. 6127 purports to create a Civil Rights Commission. Actually, it would create a traveling investigation commission.}} {{smaller block|Section 103(b) of part I. also would place tremendous power within the grasp of the Attorney General with reference to members of the Commission “otherwise in the service of the Government.” The clear implication is that whoever drafted this scheme to send traveling agents over the country intended to make use of certain members of the executive branch of the Federal Government. I don’t believe it would be necessary to look further than the Justice Department to determine where Commission members already in Government service would be secured. By placing his employees on the Commission, the Attorney General would transform the traveling agents into an additional investigative arm of the Justice Department.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I next call attention to the potential abuse found in section 102(g) under the innocuous title, “Rules of Procedure of the Commission.” That section provides that “no evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be released or used in public sessions without the consent of the Commission. Whoever releases or uses in public without the consent of the Commission evidence or testimony taken in executive session shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than 1 year.”}} {{smaller block|In an editorial of July 26, 1957, the Washington Post very correctly pointed out how this section could be used to imprison reporters and other citizens for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them.}} {{smaller block|This editorial provides a penetrating and enlightening criticism of this section. Because of its pertinency and fine analysis, I shall read the last three paragraphs of the editorial which is entitled “Open Rights Hearings,” which states:}} {{smaller block|“The bill contains an invitation to the Commission to operate behind closed doors. It provides that ‘if the Commission determines that evidence or testimony at any hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, it shall * * * receive such evidence or testimony in executive session * * *.’ Some closed sessions may be necessary to avoid unfair reflections upon individuals, but these should certainly be an exception to the general rule. In our opinion, this section ought to be rewritten in more positive vein to provide that sessions of the Commission should be open to the public, unless it should find that closed hearings were essential to avoid unfairness.}} {{smaller block|“The House also wrote into the bill a dangerous section providing for the fining or imprisonment for not more than 1 year of anyone who might ‘release or use in public,’ without the consent of the Commission, any testimony taken behind closed doors. If the Commission should choose to operate under cover, without any valid reason to do so, newspaper reporters and other citizens could be jailed for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This is a penalty that has been shunned even in matters affecting national security. Such a provision is an invitation to abuse and a serious menace to the right of the people to know about the activities of governmental agencies.}} {{smaller block|“It is well to remember that this would not be merely a study commission. In addition it would be under obligation to investigate allegations that persons were being deprived of their rights under the 14th and 15th amendments. It could subpena witnesses and documents and appeal to the courts for enforcement of such edicts. Its powers would be such that it should be held to scrupulous rules of fairness. To encourage the Commission to operate in secret, and then to penalize news mediums and citizens for disclosing what should have been public in the first place, would be the sort of mistake that Congress ought to avoid at the outset.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I think the points made in the editorial are clear and valid. Secrecy in the activities of such a Commission could only lead to a denial of the rights of an individual rather than to protection of his rights.}} {{smaller block|Another subject which must not be passed over is the subpena power of the Commission. Section 105(f) provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding Commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed.}} {{smaller block|Neither would the power contained in section 105(g) which provides that Federal courts shall have the power, upon application by the Attorney General, to issue “an order requiring” a witness to answer a subpena of the Commission and “any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.”}} {{smaller block|The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority of the traditional American factfinding commission. I look with suspicion upon such a Commission so endowed with authority, and I object to its establishment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to discuss another reason, briefly, why I would be opposed to the establishment of the Commission proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. Every appropriation bill which has come before the Senate this year has been reduced by the Senate below the budget request. The people of this country have called upon the Members of Congress to reduce the costs of government, not to increase them by creating new agencies or commissions.}} {{smaller block|The advocates of the Commission might argue that the cost of its operation would not be great, but nowhere in the records of the hearings have I found an estimate of what the total cost would be. If the Commission were to exist only for the 2 years provided in the bill, the compensation and ''per diem'' allowance of Commission members would amount to more than a quarter of a million dollars, not counting their travel allowances.}} {{smaller block|Since there is no limitation on the number of personnel which might be appointed by the Commission, there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of personnel salaries and expenses. Since the Commission is designed to travel over the country at will, very heavy travel expenses undoubtedly would be incurred.}} {{smaller block|The taxpayers would never know how many of their tax dollars were wasted by virtue of the seemingly innocuous language in section 105(e). Unknown, concealed costs are not, however, the only dangers lurking in that subsection. A serious departure from sound legislative procedure is also involved.}} {{smaller block|In the past, when creating an agency or commission, Congress retained control of its creation by the appropriation power. This is a wonderful check, Mr. President, against the abuse or misuse of Commission authority. Scrupulous care should be taken to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|However, section 105(e) provides that “all Federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the Civil Rights Commission could call on the other governmental agencies to perform many of its tasks. Congressional control over the Commission would be much less than if the Commission had to depend on its own appropriations and would not be permitted to use the resources of other agencies. Once the commission is created, only another law can check its activity during the period of its existence.}} {{smaller block|Another thing that concerns me about this Commission is the fact that once a Government agency or commission is established, nothing else on earth so nearly approaches eternal existence as that Government agency or commission. Mr. President, I feel that the 2-year limitation placed upon the Commission in this bill would simply be a starting point, and the people of this country should realize that at this time.}} {{smaller block|With further reference to section 104(a), I want to point out the use of the mandatory word shall. This word requires the Commission to investigate all sworn allegations submitted to the Commission of any citizen allegedly being deprived of his right to vote.}} {{smaller block|But the provision neglects to require that such allegations be submitted by parties in interest—not simply by some meddler who seeks to create trouble between other persons. This is another provision of this bill similar to section 131(c) which would permit the Attorney General to make the United States a party to a case without the consent of the party actually involved.}} {{smaller block|Another objection to 104(a) is that under this provision a person could make an allegation to the Commission against a person who was not even a citizen of the same State. Even so, under the mandatory language of section 104(a), the Commission would be required to make an investigation of the charges.}} {{smaller block|Since the Commission is limited by section 102(k) to subpenaing witnesses to hearings only within the State of residence of the witness, there would be no opportunity in such a situation for the accused to confront his accuser. Charges against a person should not be accepted by the Commission unless the accuser is a citizen of the same State as the person he is charging with a violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|Also, Mr. President, once the Commission has received the sworn allegation, there is no requirement that other testimony received relating to the allegation be taken under oath. Failure to make all persons giving testimony subject to perjury prosecutions in the event they testify to falsehoods would surely destroy the value of any such testimony received.}} {{smaller block|The Commission could and might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony; but I should not like to see the Senate leave that point to the discretion of the Commission because, in my judgment, the Congress should require that practice to be followed.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, as I stated earlier, it is my view that an inquiry into the field of civil rights, or so-called civil rights, is entirely unnecessary at this time. The laws of the States and the Federal laws are being enforced effectively.}} {{smaller block|Should there come a time when information might be needed on this subject, the Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with deliberation and care. The appropriate committees of the Congress itself should hold hearings limited to the jurisdiction of the Congress, and the Congress should make its own determination as to the need for legislation.}} {{smaller block|There is no present indication that any such study will be needed.}} {{smaller block|Part II. of the bill still provides for the appointment of one additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. As I have stated in previous addresses, there is absolutely no need for an additional Attorney General to be appointed at a cost to the taxpayers of $20,000 per year.}} {{smaller block|Of course, that would merely be a small part of the total cost because a large staff of lawyers would also be employed.}} {{smaller block|The other provisions of the bill do not necessitate the establishment of a civil-rights division in the Justice Department, because there is no indication there would be any substantial increase in such cases with which the Department should be concerned.}} {{smaller block|As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have admitted time and again here in the Senate that there has been a steady decrease in the number of civil-rights cases throughout the country.}} {{smaller block|Since there has been a decrease in civil-rights cases, and since there is no indication that any increase should be expected, I can see absolutely no reason for the expansion of the present civil-rights section of the Justice Department into a Civil Rights Division with an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the fact that sufficient justification has not been presented for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, I hope the Senate will not approve such additional expenditures as would be required for this purpose. In my opinion, the Attorney General has failed entirely to show a need for an additional assistant.}} {{smaller block|Part III. of the bill as amended has been thoroughly discussed and I shall not dwell on that at this time.}} {{smaller block|Part IV., which is the section dealing with what the advocates of the bill have said was the entire purpose of the bill, still has provisions which are objectionable to me. Section 131(c) still contains language which, to me, borders on an effort at thought control instead of providing an unneeded additional guaranty of the right to vote. Also, it gives the Attorney General undue authority. The section reads as follows:}} {{smaller block|“(c) Whenever any person has engaged, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage, in any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege secured by subsection (a) or (b), the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, a civil action or other proper proceeding for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order. In any proceeding hereunder the United States shall be liable for costs the same as a private person.”}} {{smaller block|As long ago as February 26, when I appeared before the special Judiciary Subcommittee of the House of Representatives to testify against pending civil-rights bills, I expressed my opposition to the language contained in the section I. have just quoted. I do not believe it possible for the Attorney General, for any of his representatives, or for anybody else to determine what is in another person’s mind and whether he is about to engage in some violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|If the Attorney General should attempt to ascertain what is going on in the minds of other persons, he will need soothsayers and prophets instead of an additional Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|I object to this language because I do not believe it possible for any witness to testify truthfully that he knows another person was about to violate the law, unless some overt action had been taken by the accused person.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, an attempt to apply this provision against American citizens would be completely out of keeping with the guaranties of personal freedom contained in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|I object also to the authority granted the Attorney General in section (c) to “institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States,” a civil action or other court proceeding on behalf of a person without the consent of that person. Individuals have adequate legal remedies which they themselves may institute on their own behalf. It is not necessary to give the Attorney General this extreme power of absolute discretion to be exercised as he desires on behalf of some individual who may not wish to take court action or to have anybody else take such action on his behalf.}} {{smaller block|If one of the duties of the proposed additional Assistant Attorney General would be to seek out persons and insist upon entering the courts on their behalf, this provision, combined with part II., provides another objection to the appointment of an Assistant Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|The American system has never condoned the idea that a third party should stir up trouble between two other persons. Instead, the American system abhors troublemakers, especially when troublemaking takes the form of barratry. This form of troublemaking has been looked down upon much in the same way other lawyers look down upon their colleagues who chase ambulances.}} {{smaller block|The United States Government should not be placed in this position of disrepute and certainly it should not be called upon to bear the expenses of such court proceedings.}} {{smaller block|Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which provides that—}} {{smaller block|“(b) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.”}} {{smaller block|No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States, should not be exhausted prior to Federal district courts taking jurisdiction in election-law violations.}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 have spoken out strongly on behalf of the Federal courts during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts.}} {{smaller block|There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them.}} {{smaller block|The laws of all the 48 States contain provisions protecting the right to vote. No additional protection is needed beyond existing State and Federal laws.}} {{smaller block|In my own State of South Carolina, the constitution of 1895 required the general assembly to provide by law for the punishment of crimes against the election laws. That has been done. The State constitution further required a provision to permit a person to appeal to the State supreme court if he should be denied registration. The election law spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court, and requires that the court hold a special session if one is not scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|South Carolina’s constitution also provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of this constitutional provision, the South Carolina General Assembly has enacted laws for the punishment of anyone who threatens, mistreats, or abuses any voter in an effort to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. These laws apply to all elections. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the existing laws of the States and the existing Federal laws, I now contend, as I have contended since the so-called civil-rights bills were introduced, that any qualified voter in the United States is fully protected in his right of suffrage.}} {{smaller block|This bill, H. R. 6127, is unnecessary. It is an encroachment upon the rights of the States, and it infringes upon the rights of individuals when the Attorney General is empowered to take action on the behalf of any person without his consent.}} {{smaller block|I believe this bill should be rejected, because of the various unnecessary and unconstitutional provisions which I have discussed.}} {{smaller block|Part V. of the bill, which was added to insure and provide for trial by jury in proceedings to punish criminal contempts, is an amendment which I approved and voted for, but I do not consider it as strong as desirable. In my opinion, the bill which the senior Senators from Mississippi and Virginia and I introduced in the Senate last March should be approved, to provide best for the right of trial by jury for every American citizen.}} {{smaller block|However, the addition of part V. to the bill makes it much less objectionable than the bill would have been without the assurance of trial by jury in criminal-contempt proceedings contained in part V.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to reiterate my previous assertions that this bill is unnecessary, and in some respects unconstitutional.}} {{smaller block|H. R. 6127 in its original form carried the label of being a right-to-vote bill; but when we unwrapped the package here in the Senate and examined it carefully, as we have, we found the label was entirely misleading.}} {{smaller block|The so-called civil-rights bill should have been entitled “A bill to empower the Attorney General to deprive certain citizens of their right to trial by jury.” Also, it should have been labeled as an implement intended to be used to force integration of the races in the public schools.}} {{smaller block|Happily, we examined the contents of the package, stripped off the old label, and advertised the deception so that every citizen could recognize the dangers wrapped in the package.}} {{smaller block|The amendments which have been enacted have reduced the power which was intended to be placed in the hands of the Attorney General. They have removed the authority for the use of military forces in cases of alleged civil-rights violations. They have made the proposed Commission answerable to Congress as well as to the President, and have provided for the members to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. They have better defined and narrowed the powers of Federal judges in contempt proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R. 6127. However, nothing could entirely remove the objectionable features of this packaged bill of goods, submitted to the American people under a deceptive label.}} {{smaller block|I shall vote against passage of H. R. 6127, because I believe that in so doing I shall be casting a vote for the preservation of our liberties, and for the preservation of constitutional government in this country.}} Mr. President, that was the statement which I made on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced vigorous objection to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127 as amended by the Senate. Of course, the Senate bill was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of the bill. Mr. President, I now wish to discuss part IV. of H. R. 6127 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution. {{smaller block|PART IV.—TO PROVIDE MEANS OF FURTHER SECURING AND PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE}} Part IV. of the proposed civil-rights bill confers on the Attorney General the right to bring civil action and seek an injunction in a Federal district in the name of the United States if he believes any person is violating or about to violate either of two laws presently existing for the protection of voters. Let us examine the two laws the Attorney General seeks to enforce by civil suit or injunction. The first of these laws, presently appearing as section 2004 of the Revised Statutes of 1874—title 42, United States Code, section 1971—is actually section 1 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870—Sixteenth United States Statutes at Large, page 140. This bill, S. 810 and H. R. 1293, passed the respective Houses of Congress without debate on its merits under the rule on motion. This bill as it passed Congress contained in its second section a definite provision that civil damages to the aggrieved might be recovered through civil suit in the Federal courts. Furthermore, it provided for the obtaining of political office by civil suit through ''quo'' warrant proceedings in Federal courts. On May 20, 1870, an attempt was made in the Senate to allow third parties to sue in behalf of the aggrieved party. This is the same proposal contained in the present bill whereby the Attorney General would be allowed to bring civil action and seek injunctions. Even this radical 41st Congress would not accept any such proposition providing double penalties. The proposition in the present bill would provide double penalties because present law contained in both title 18, Section 242—Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law—and title 42, Section 1971—Race, Color, or Previous Condition Not To Affect Right to Vote—afford appropriate criminal and civil remedy. To show how the Senate in 1870 rejected such an idea of double penalties, let us examine the colloquy in the Senate on the proposal to allow someone other than the aggrieved to bring civil suit—Congressional Globe, volume 93, 41st Congress, 2d session, 1870, pages 3563–3564: {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I understand I am in order in offering to amend the amendment.}} {{smaller block|The {{sc|Presiding Officer}}. The amendment to the amendment is in order.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I will repeat it, then, for the information of the Senate. I move to amend the Senate bill in section 2, line 15, by striking out the words “the person aggrieved thereby” and inserting “any person who shall sue for the same.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. I hope that this amendment will not be agreed to. There are now two views taken of this branch of the bill as it stands. One is that there ought not to be any provision at all for the party aggrieved; that it ought all to be out; and another view is that taken by my friend from Alabama, that it does not go far enough; that we ought not to confine this redress to the person whose vote is refused. The committee considered both those views, and thought, in analogy to State legislation and to the simple proprieties of justice, that this middle ground was the true one.}} {{smaller block|If a voter is deprived of his right to vote by the misconduct of an official, it is a personal grievance to him, an actionable injury, for which all civilized laws give him redress in some form. It is true that in most States and countries no specific amount of damages is allowed, for the reason that it is thought safer, inasmuch as that might be a matter of speculation, to leave it under the circumstances of each case to be great or small, as a jury shall think it wise to make it. But in applying the 15th amendment, which is intended to secure the rights of a large class of the population of the United States, and to secure their rights in courts which may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, by juries who may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, in communities where the local officers are found to be those who deny the rights that the 15th amendment secures, we thought it wise not to leave it to an unfriendly jury to give only 1 penny damages, if a man under the 15th amendment was deprived of a right he had, but to fix the sum the party should be entitled to recover as his damages; and on the other hand, in a community where juries might be very favorable to the party aggrieved, we thought it right to impose upon juries a limit above which they ought not to go; so that they should not either give no damages at all nor excessive damages.}} {{smaller block|This branch of the section, therefore, is framed upon that theory. It is to give to the person aggrieved, as damages for the deprivation of his rights as a citizen, a private right of his own, a right to sue, which all laws give; it would not be necessary to put that into the statute—he would have the right of action; but to fix the amount for each specific wrong to him {{SIC|whch|which}} he should be entitled to recover. Then we provide in another part of the bill, and perhaps in the same section, just as we ought to do if we are to have any law at all, that the officer guilty of this wrong to the citizen is also guilty of an offense against the public, a criminal misdemeanor, for which he may be indicted and fined, of course within certain limits, in the discretion of the court. I submit to my friend from Alabama whether, on the whole, this middle ground, which is defensible both by philosophy and by analogy, is not the true one.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I desire to make this bill as effective for the purpose intended as possible. The persons who will be aggrieved, particularly in our section of the country, will in the main be ignorant and timid persons, who will be afraid to sue. The fact that they may be afraid to go to the polls and vote is evidence that they will not perhaps have the courage and fearlessness to sue; but there may be some third party who would be willing to enforce the penalty. I think in the great majority of cases the person aggrieved would not avail himself of this provision.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Then, I suggest to my friend that he would not be entitled to any action at all under this section, because this is not a section to give every man $500 who is afraid to offer to do what he has a right to do; but it is to give him as damages the sum of $500 for a positive and specific denial to him of the exercise of a right that he attempts to exercise; otherwise, he would have no cause of action. You cannot give a right of action to anybody because he is intimidated. The intimidation part of the law must be purely criminal, and is found in another part of the bill.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. But my amendment would give a remedy by enabling any other person than the party aggrieved to enforce the penalty. The party aggrieved I think in most cases would fail to enforce it; but some other party might.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Some other party may in his name.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I desire to say a word in regard to the particular amendment now pending. This bill is for the purpose of enforcing the 15th amendment, which applies to colored voters, most of whom reside in the section of the country from which the Senator from Alabama and myself come. The great and most effectual means used to interfere with their exercise of the right secured to them by the 15th amendment is by intimidation, by violence. I think that the penalty which is named in this second section, to be enforced by the party aggrieved, would never be put into operation at all. The purpose of the bill is to protect those citizens against intimidation from voting.}} {{smaller block|I confess that there is something in the suggestion of the Senator from Vermont, that there is no intimidation in this particular section aimed at. But, sir, it is perfectly sure that the very same means of intimidation which prevents a colored citizen from voting will be resorted to to prevent him from bringing this penal action, and unless the section is amended as suggested by the Senator from Alabama, I do not believe that an action will ever be brought in those States, because it is much more difficult for one of those citizens to bring and maintain a criminal action than it is for him to perform the single act of voting.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Will my friend permit me to make a suggestion right there?}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. Certainly.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. If you take out this penalty, as it is called, really liquidated damages, from the person who is aggrieved, whose right is denied, and who has suffered injury, and give it to anybody who will sue for it, it becomes a pure penalty. Then the question is, whether you can have a bill which contains double penalties; whether you are to punish, in the strict sense of punishment, a man twice for the same offense; because my friend will see that the section, in addition to giving these damages to the party aggrieved as damages, makes it a criminal misdemeanor, punishable on indictment and conviction by a fine of not less than $500 and imprisonment not less than a month nor more than a year. I suggest to my friend, who is a cultivated and educated lawyer, whether he would not in court find himself in great difficulty with a bill of double penalties, which were purely such.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I have never examined that question under the laws of the United States. I only know that is frequently done in my own State. We have statutes with double penalties, as referred to by the Senator, and we have never had any difficulty in that State with regard to them.}} {{smaller block|But I understood the committee to mean by this section that there was danger in the States where it is principally to apply of not being able to obtain a grand jury who will find a bill of indictment, and that in the event no bill of indictment could be found before a grand jury the party aggrieved, or, if amended as the Senator from Alabama suggests, any person in the community may still punish the offender by bringing a penal action. It seems I had mistaken the purpose of the committee entirely from what is said by the Senator from Vermont. I think, nevertheless, the amendment had better be made, unless there really be that legal objection which the Senator suggests as to double penalties, so that it could not, under the laws of the United States and the practice of the United States courts, be enforced. If that were so, it would be conclusive that the amendment ought not to be adopted. I did not understand the Senator as expressing the positive opinion that such could not be done.}} Now, Mr. President, I shall discuss injunctions issuing from Federal district judges on the question of a person’s qualification for voting. The civil-rights bill in part IV. confers on the district courts of the United States jurisdiction to issue injunctions in civil-rights actions and it is to be assumed that these injunctions will concern, among other supposed rights, the right to vote. Actually appropriate remedy already exists where a person’s civil rights are violated. Section 242 of title 18, United States Code, provides a penalty and damages may be recovered in a civil action. The West Virginia Jehovah’s Witnesses case is a typical example of adequate remedy existing in such cases. In this case, the United States attorney was unable to get an indictment by the grand jury. He therefore proceeded to prosecute by information, as provided by rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and subsequently got a conviction. The information charged that two public officers, acting under color of law, had willfully deprived their victims of the Federal rights of free speech, freedom of religion, the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, and the right to equal protection of the laws. The conviction was upheld by the United States court of appeals—''Catlette'' v. ''U. S.'' ((1943) 132 F. 2d 902). Civil suits were brought by the Witnesses against their prosecutors—those who had deprived them of their rights—and a settlement was made totaling $1,170 in damages which was paid. How can the Congress vest jurisdiction in Federal courts to determine the qualifications of voters and allow Federal judges to issue injunctions in effect requiring that certain persons—the judge thinks are qualified—shall be registered and allowed to vote? The qualifications of voters are fixed and enumerated in the constitution of each sovereign State. For purposes of determining who is entitled to vote in each State for United States Representatives and Senators, the Federal Constitution simply adopts such qualifications as the State has fixed for voting for members of that State’s legislature. The language of article I., section 2, clause 3 of the United States Constitution reads: {{smaller block|The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.}} Similarly, the 17th amendment adopts for the purpose of electing United States Senators such qualifications as the States have fixed: {{smaller block|The Senate of the United States shall be composed of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for 6 years; and each Senator shall have 1 vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.}} In the fixing of qualifications of voters the States are limited only by the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment in that the right to vote may not be denied because of race or color or sex, respectively. That the respective States determine who are entitled to vote has never been seriously controverted. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the right to vote comes from the State. In declaring sections 3 and 4 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870, unconstitutional, the Supreme Court in 1875 said—''U. S.'' v. ''Reese'' ((1875) 92 U. S. 214, 217, 218); also ''Butts'' v. ''Merchants and Miners Transportation Co.'' ((1913) 230 U. S. 126): {{smaller block|The 15th amendment does not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference, in this particular, to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race, etc., as it was on account of age, one race having certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to this amendment, there was no constitutional guaranty against this discrimination; now there is. It follows that the amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right which is within the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This, under the express provisions of the second section of the amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation.}} This leads us to inquire whether the act now under consideration is appropriate legislation for that purpose. The power of Congress to legislate at all upon the subject of voting at State elections rests upon this amendment. The effect of article I., section 4, of the Constitution, in respect to elections for Senators and Representatives, is not now under consideration. It has not been contended, nor can it be, that the amendment confers authority to impose penalties for every wrongful refusal to receive the vote of a qualified elector at State elections. It is only when the wrongful refusal at such an election is because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, that Congress can interfere, and provide for its punishment: If, therefore, the third and fourth sections of the act are beyond that limit, they are unauthorized.}} Thus, if the 15th amendment has not conferred the right to vote upon anyone, how can Congress give a Federal judge authority to confer that right by injunction? The Attorney General knows that it is a settled principle of law that an injunction will not issue to prevent a crime. At the present time the laws governing enforcement of civil rights are criminal statutes and as such he seeks to have them reenacted as civil statutes so he can secure injunctions. An injunction is really a serious proposition. Actually an injunction is a proceeding in equity and not of law and under this principle since all of the States have adequate procedure for determining the qualifications of voters in courts of law, injunctions cannot issue in such cases. An injunction is actually the giving of validity to a judge’s own individual opinion. The injunction had its origin during the reign of Henry VIII., when Cardinal Wolsey augmented the authority of the Court of Chancery in exercising his equitable authority over everything that could be a matter of judicial inquiry. Both Wolsey and his successor, Sir Thomas More, were severely criticized by the English judiciary for issuing injunctions in equity and thereby substituting their individual opinions for the verdict of a jury in a common law court—the Law magazine, London, volume XXVII., 1870, pages 1–25. Such great importance is attached to the issuance of an injunction that Lord Correnham in his judgment in ''Brown'' v. ''Newall'' ((1870), 2 M. and C. 558, 570), said: {{smaller block|Now, that that ''ex parte'' injunction was an order which ought not to have been made, is not in dispute. It has been subsequently dissolved, and nothing is attempted (570) to be said in support of it at the bar; and it is impossible that it could have been sustained. The order was a departure from the known and established rule and practice of this court. Nothing is so difficult as to bring within any general rule every case in which a special injunction ought to be granted; but, when an action has regularly proceeded, and is on the very eve of trial, an ''ex parte'' injunction to stop it is an order such as I have not before seen. The vice chancellor appears to have stated that the order was made under some misapprehension of the facts; and indeed it is quite obvious that it must have been so, for the vice chancellor could not have made the order if the facts had been thoroughly understood. It is very probable that some facts were then supposed to exist which did not actually exist.}} {{smaller block|I am not entitled, however, to assume that the order was made upon any other grounds than those stated in the affidavit which was used upon the application for the injunction; and I am, therefore, to see whether, on that affidavit, the parties have suppressed or misrepresented facts in such a way as was calculated to induce the court to grant the injunction.}} {{smaller block|I am most unwilling to lay down any rule which should limit the power and discretion of the court as to the particular cases in which a special injunction should or should not be granted; but I have always felt—and since I have been upon the bench I have seen no reason to alter my opinion—that extreme danger attends the exercise of this part of the jurisdiction of the court, and that it is a jurisdiction which is to be exercised with extreme caution. It is absolutely necessary that the power should exist, because there are cases in which it is indispensable; but I believe that practically it does as much injustice as it promotes (571) justice; and it is, therefore, to be exercised with extreme caution. The court can have no ground upon which it can proceed, in granting an ''ex parte'' injunction, but a faithful statement of the case; and where the court has found a party misstating the case, either by misrepresentation or suppression, the court has always exercised its jurisdiction, for the purpose of repressing that practice; and I am desirous to abstain from putting, by anticipation, a limit to that power. The extent to which the court is to go in so doing is only to be determined by the case itself; but then it must appear, upon the affidavits, that there was such misrepresentation. Now the affidavit upon which the ''ex parte'' injunction was obtained certainly does not state all the facts; but the question is, whether there was any such suppression or misstatement as to lead the court to grant the injunction. I do not find on that affidavit that description of misrepresentation or suppression which, in my opinion, presented a case likely to procure a judgment on the application, but different from the case which really existed.}} Thus we can easily see, even if we had the power, that it would be a dangerous experiment to allow Federal district judges to issue injunctions on simple ''ex parte'' affidavits as is proposed in the present bill. And it might be possible under this proposal to assign New York or Vermont Federal judges to a crowded injunction calendar in Virginia to determine who is qualified to vote in that State. Section 134 of title 26, United States Code, simply requires that a district judge reside in the district or one of the districts for which he is appointed and does not preclude his assignment to another district. In fact, Chief Justice Warren under section 292 of the Judicial Code—title 28, United States Code—may assign California judges to South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 292. District judges:}} {{smaller block|(a) The chief judge of a circuit may designate and assign one or more district judges within the circuit to sit upon the court of appeals or a division thereof whenever the business of that court so requires. Such designations or assignments shall be in conformity with the rules or orders of the court of appeals of the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(b) The chief judge of a district may, in the public interest, designate and assign temporarily any district judge of the circuit to hold a district court in any district within the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(c) The Chief Justice of the United States may designate and assign temporarily a district judge of one circuit for service in another circuit, either in a district court or court of appeals, upon presentation of a certificate of necessity by the chief judge or circuit justice of the circuit wherein the need arises. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 901.)}} The Federal Enforcement Act of 1870 attempted to do just what this bill seeks to do, that is, take away from the States the control of their elections and place that control in the hands of federally appointed officials. If anyone has any doubts about the failure of the Enforcement Act or even its constitutionality he should read the various decisions of the United States Supreme Court declaring almost every section of the act unconstitutional. When Congress finally got around to repealing that act in 1893 here are some of the frauds cited in Congress as reasons for repeal. They included 19,000 fraudulent naturalization certificates being issued by a single judge in New York State. They included payment in fees from the United States Treasury to a single Federal supervisor of elections and commissioner of the Federal court the sum of $145,000. Interestingly enough, repeal was initiated by a New York Congressman. See {{sc|Congressional Record}}, Volume 25, pages 1959, 1808. Mr. President, on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, I made a motion in the Senate to have H. R. 6127 in its so-called compromise form referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that I believed it to be a dangerous procedure to allow bills to come over from the House of Representatives and be placed on the calendar of the Senate without being referred to the appropriate committee. However, my motion was voted down 66 to 18, so the bill is now before the Senate for consideration. Since very few Members of the Senate were present at that time to hear my objections to the present version of H. R. 6127, I shall present my arguments again. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution because that would be the result insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common-law cases. These guaranties were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historic document their complaints against denial of the right of trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. After declaring that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the signers of the Declaration pointed out that the King had a history of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.” Then they proceeded to the listing of a bill of particulars against the King. He was charged with “depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.” That is what the Declaration of Independence contained. The King was charged, among other things, with depriving the American people of the benefit of trial by jury. That is the very thing I am fighting for—the right of trial by jury, which is contained in the Constitution, and embodied in it in quite a number of places. The compromise bill which comes from the House attempts to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The bill does not provide for a trial by jury unless the penalty is more than 45 days’ imprisonment or more than a $300 fine. That is a compromise of the Constitution. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. When the original Constitution was written there was placed in it article III., section 2, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. Then the Bill of Rights was adopted, and that right was provided in three different places. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and onetime Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. “The Bill of Rights,” he declared, “denies the power of any government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.” Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic law if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes, in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. When our forefathers met in 1787 in Philadelphia they wrote in article III., section 2, of the Constitution that in all crimes except treason a man shall be entitled to a jury trial. In several places in the Bill of Rights they wrote it again, with special emphasis in the sixth amendment that a man is entitled to a jury trial. Yet the compromisers brought forth a compromise which {{SIC|attemps|attempts}} to compromise the Constitution of the United States. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. The compromise would have been unconstitutional if it had provided that if a judge wanted to punish for criminal contempt he could sentence the defendant to serve 1 day or fine him $1. He has no right to fine him $1 or give him 1 day’s punishment in prison without a jury trial, because the Constitution says that in a criminal case a man charged with crime is entitled to a jury trial. I cited last night a decision which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and this so-called compromise which has come to the Senate is an effort of the Senate and the House of Representatives to get together, but in the effort to get together and pass a political bill—and that is all it is—they have been willing to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says, “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. If the Constitution had had an exception in it and read, “This shall not apply to criminal contempt or crimes of criminal contempt,” then there would be some basis for the Congress to legislate. But it did not make such an exception. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “The trial of ''all'' crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. What right has a Federal judge to use his discretion and tell a man he can be tried by a jury? The Constitution says if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to be tried by a jury if he wants to be tried by a jury. In the Constitution there is no exception of criminal contempt or any exception that gives a judge the power to try a man so charged rather than a jury. We are dealing with the basic rights of the people of this Nation and we should be careful to protect those precious rights which have been handed down to us by our forefathers. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. We cannot make trial by jury a matter of degree. If the Constitution gives a man the right of trial by jury, he has that right and we cannot take it away from him. The Congress cannot take it away. Furthermore, this compromise pretends to let the judge try the case if he wants to do so, in his discretion. Then if he finds the defendant ought to be punished by a fine in excess of $300 or by imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the man is entitled to a trial by jury. Do you not know, Mr. President, that if a judge has already tried a man, and then the defendant asks for a jury trial, the judge’s decision is bound to affect the jury in the case strongly, even if it were constitutional for that to be done, which it is not? Under this proposal if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days in prison he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of punishment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. I realize that Congress may want to get away from Washington. We have had a long, hard session. I also realize that both national parties are playing to the minorities by means of the right-to-vote bill, when each State in the Nation has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and section 594 of the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure protects the right to vote. Yet, as a political gesture, both parties are making this play to try to claim credit. Watch my prediction that in the elections of 1958 both parties will try to claim that they got the civil-rights bill through the Congress. Why are we not more interested in preserving the Constitution? Are we going to violate the Constitution by passing a political civil-rights bill in order to give thunder and political fodder to politicians to enable them to garner votes? Which is more important, the Constitution of this country or the political parties vying for the votes of minorities? I wish to see the right to vote exercised by every man who is qualified to vote and who wants to vote. If he is entitled to vote, I want to see him vote. But the true purpose of this bill is not to insure the right to vote, because we have statutes in every State, and we have statutes on the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure now already that punish people interfering with anybody trying to vote. If the statutes we now have on the books are not being enforced, what good will it do to put another statute on the books? If the Justice Department is claiming that there are any individuals who have been denied their right to vote, why does it not prosecute them under the present law, which is completely adequate? And if no people have been denied the right to vote, then why is it claimed that this bill is necessary? The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents and in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. Perhaps the House and the Senate wanted to get together and they thought this was the only way they could do it, but I want to tell the American people when they did get together and brought forth this compromise they violated the Constitution of the United States. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill. Like father, like son; a chip off the old block. Both are bad. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of the fine—or even 1 cent—and if a day, or even an hour, were added to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial, and a jury would decide the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. The proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was passed by the Senate. The inclusion by the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, made the bill a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, the present unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope a majority of the Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the ''bloc'' voting of the pivotal states. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about. Those are the words of Stewart Alsop; and he is not a southerner, so far as I know. To explain his point, he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States, Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election. The following four paragraphs are quoted directly from Mr. Alsop’s column: {{smaller block|In 1954, Averell Harriman was elected Governor of New York by less than 15,000 votes over Senator {{sc|Irving Ives}}. According to Harris’ analysis, Harriman polled a whopping 79 percent of the Negro vote. Negro voters thus supplied Harriman with his margin of victory several times over. Two years later, the Democrats had dropped some 90,000 Negro votes to the Republicans—or about 6 times the number of votes {{sc|Ives}} needed to defeat Harriman.}} {{smaller block|Or take another close race—the victory of Senator {{sc|Joseph Clark}}, of Pennsylvania, over the Republican incumbent, Senator James Duff, in 1956. Again, {{sc|Clark}} just squeaked in, with a plurality of less than 18,000 votes. {{sc|Clark}}, despite the Supreme Court, carried the Negro vote by a huge 76 percent margin, which was worth about 150,000 votes to him. Suppose the Negro vote had dropped off as sharply in Pennsylvania as it did in Illinois, where it nosedived from 75 percent in 1952 to 58 percent in 1956. Then Duff would be in the Senate by a comfortable majority, and {{sc|Clark}} would be practicing law.}} {{smaller block|Other examples could be cited, like that of Senator {{sc|Paul Douglas}}, of Illinois, who owes about 60 percent of his 1954 plurality to the Negro vote. But the lesson is clear enough. If the Republicans can attract something approaching half the Negro vote in the Northern States, the Republican Party will then be the normal majority party in those States.}} {{smaller block|Read the role of big States in which the Negroes can be expected to poll 5 percent or more of the total vote—not only New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but such States as Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and California. It then becomes clear what is at stake in the civil-rights struggle—nothing less than the future balance of political power in the Nation.}} But, Mr. President, are we going to compromise the Constitution, whether we lose an election or not? Which is more important—to win an election or to preserve the Constitution? It is about time that both parties began to consider the welfare of the country and to determine whether the Constitution is of more importance, or whether winning an election is of more importance. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today; but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law, eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of the bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Under the provisions of the compromise, jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge, so long as the sentence he metes does not exceed the maximum limit set for denying trial by jury. The proponents of the bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim, the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When the bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted the great legal mind of 18th century England, Blackstone. Because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him again at this time. This is what Blackstone had to say: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} That is what Blackstone, the leading legal light the world has known, had to say. I wish to repeat one of his sentences: {{smaller block|And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} Mr. President, a trial by jury is one of the bedrocks of this democracy. It is one of the bedrocks of this Nation. It is one of the bedrocks of this Government. When we talk to people in the street and to laymen generally about taking away their right of trial by jury, they cannot understand it, because they know that the Constitution provides that a man shall have a trial by jury when he is charged with the commission of a crime. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen, chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth, and the surest guardians of public justice. For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan of the United States Supreme Court delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, that is a significant statement to me, coming from a member of the present Supreme Court. I will not predict what the Court might do when the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury as embodied in this so-called compromise is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the people of this Nation want Federal judges to have the power to punish persons for criminal contempt by sentences of either days, weeks, or months in jail, or by fines of dollars, they can amend the Constitution and provide for it. If the people of this country want Federal judges to have the discretion of determining whether a person shall have a jury trial or not, then they can amend the Constitution and so provide. There is no provision and no exception for either instance in the present Constitution. That is certainly a clue to what might be expected from the Court when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. I think what the Supreme Court did in the ''Reid'' against ''Covert'' case might be a clue to what it might do, or what might be expected of the Court, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all of the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State. A summary of these laws was submitted to me, and I request that this summary be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. The people of my State vote. I am in favor of qualified people voting. All the people of my State vote if they are qualified. Whence comes this hue and cry? Those raising it have not presented the matter to the Judiciary Committee, so the chairman of that committee may hold hearings. They have held hearings for weeks and months on the subject, and the proponents of the bill have failed to present evidence to show that people do not have the right to vote. It is inescapable, as I have said, that this is a political bill and not a bill to provide the right to vote. The people already have that privilege. If any such incident as a refusal to permit a citizen to vote had occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. The people of the States are interested in justice just as are the officials of the Federal Government, but I shall return to that subject in a few minutes and go into the matter of the Federal statutes a little more fully. We have Federal statutes to protect the right to vote, if the voters are not satisfied with the State statutes, and certainly the Federal statutes protect them. I say that the Negro citizens in South Carolina are safeguarded in their rights; and the payment of a poll tax is not required. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. As I have said, South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. Registration is necessary only once every 10 years. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that the poll tax be repealed as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature acted promptly and submitted the matter to the people, and the people voted in favor of repeal of the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature approved it, and we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina, if proof is desired, can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia, S. C., Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that “estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina constitution which protect a citizen’s right to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 9, suffrage: The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 10, elections free and open: All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 5, appeal; crimes against election laws: Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 8, registration provided; elections; board of registration; books of registration: The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the 1st of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 15, right of suffrage free: No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the record to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Code, title 23}}}}}} {{smaller block|23–73. Appeal from denial of registration.}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court.}} {{smaller block|23–74. Proceedings to court of common pleas.}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as Calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{smaller block|23–75. Further appeal to supreme court.}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make. If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} In other words, in our State, if anybody has an appeal and it goes before the trial judge and he denies it, the supreme court will go into session in order to hear such a case so as to be sure that nobody is deprived of the right to vote. {{smaller block|23–100. Right to vote.}} {{smaller block|No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct.

Also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, proves that there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right-to-vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an unusual grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department is not needed because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed, and he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved, and there is no indication that conditions will change unless the Attorney General and the Civil Rights Commission create trouble, there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of civil-rights matters in the Department of Justice. Mr. President, permit me to digress in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the Bill of Rights. I have before me a book entitled “Our Bill of Rights: What It Means To Me—A National Symposium,” edited by James Waterman, Wisconsin: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|Things of the spirit never die.

After all, the only disaster that will overtake us is the disaster that comes from indecision and inaction.}} {{smaller block|I like to remind myself of the origin of the Bill of Rights. It came into being at a time of great distress and clearly represented the desires of the people who had paid a high price for their independence, and were determined to keep it. Since that time it has weathered an internal conflict, foreign wars, periods of economic depression. Even during these emergencies there has been no foreshortening of the scope of the Bill of Rights, nor has its fundamental character been altered. Invariably after these crises have passed each American has turned his face homeward and found, to his intense joy, his personal liberty inviolate. This augurs well for the future. Perhaps the destructive forces loose in the world will assume more awesome proportions than any yet seen; perhaps the dangers and hardships of the civilian population will be greater than ever before; but I cannot believe that these new developments will serve to swerve us from our course any more than the vicissitudes of the past.}} {{smaller block|Undoubtedly it will mean a vigilant citizenry constantly on guard. But we have that. Undoubtedly it will mean leadership of the highest quality, but we have that, too. In fact, I can think of no more impressive reiteration of belief in the Bill of Rights than that made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress last January:}} {{smaller block|“In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.}} {{smaller block|“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The third is freedom from want. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The fourth is freedom from fear. * * *}} {{smaller block|“That is no vision of a distant millennium.

Roosevelt, in speaking of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees a jury trial to the people of the United States, but which the so-called compromise civil-rights bill would deprive the people of. I read further: {{smaller block|We accept our liberty, as we do our health, pretty much as a matter of course, hardly giving it a thought until we begin to lose it. Then we become conscious of how much it means.}} {{smaller block|Experience throughout the long period of human history teaches that liberty must be won in every generation and can be held only by eternal vigilance. As foes of freedom the aggressors reappear with different weapons, but always with the same aim—to destroy the souls of freemen.}} {{smaller block|That religion and democracy are closely linked together is a truism proved amply in the history of our country. The American colonies were settled by men and women seeking a free life, as well as a home for freedom. Religion was written prominently into their agreements, covenants, pacts, and constitutions, but the early colonists made no provision for the the free exercise of religion. Those who had fled before the demands of conformity later determined by law that others must conform or get out of the colony. It was said of Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, if he had found toleration in his dictionary, he would have cut the word out, just as he drew his sword and cut the red cross out of the English flag because it represented the ancient Catholic faith of England. This attitude, formulated into law and supported by stern preaching, led to the founding of Rhode Island by Roger Williams and his associates. They were the first ones to put into practice the principle of the independence of the individual conscience even beyond the grants of liberty by the State. Maryland was founded by a small company of Catholics seeking freedom of worship in 1634, only 14 years after the Protestant Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth.}} {{smaller block|Under Lord Baltimore’s liberal rule there developed a large degree of freedom in religion, as well as a remarkable advance in democratic procedure. The people of Maryland not only took part in making their laws but were given power to originate laws. No other colony at the time enjoyed quite as much freedom, and in 1649 the assembly passed the Toleration Act which confirmed by law these liberties. Following this action, Maryland became the refuge not only for the oppressed Catholics from England, but Protestants from some of the other American colonies, Puritans from Virginia, Quakers, and others who found congenial homes in this colony.}} It is true that the Toleration Act was not very broad in that it tolerated only those of the Christian religion, but it was a step forward on the road to liberty and marked a greater advance than anything even in England at the time. It remained for the colony at Providence, R. I., to advance the act of toleration by granting full religious freedom to Christians and Jews and even to those without any religious affiliation or belief. The act affirmed “that men of all religions should live unmolested so long as they behaved themselves.” The Bill of Rights provides for freedom of religion. Our Bill of Rights provides for many vital rights which we enjoy. The study of the Constitution should be an essential part not only of the education of the American youth, but of all Americans, and especially those who have become naturalized citizens of this great Nation. While all of us cannot be trained in the technicalities of the law, we should have some idea of our fundamental institutions. We need to know their relationship to our daily life, the reasons for their existence, and the benefits we derive from them, as well as the importance to ourselves of their perpetuation. The Constitution is not self-perpetuating by any means; if it is to survive it will be because it has the support of the people—not passive, but active public support. This means making adequate sacrifice to maintain that which is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. The Constitution has its roots in the great and heroic past of the English-speaking race. Today, under that Constitution which was adopted through the blood and sweat of the pioneers of our country, the safeguard of personal liberty is ever present. Under our great Bill of Rights our governmental power is divided into three parts. The first is the power granted to the Central Government; the second that reserved to the States; and the third, and by far the most important, although at times the fact may not be generally recognized, the power reserved to the people under the many inhibitions upon both State and Federal legislation. In the turmoil which now seems to have engulfed the entire world, the citizens of the United States should well remember particularly that it is the people, those who go to make up the great cross-section of this country, who must guard the ramparts from the ever-increasing dangers of nazism, fascism, and communism. Our Constitution is the final safeguard of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure, but should it fall into disrespect or disrepute the way of orderly, organized government as we have known it for the past 150 years will be at an end. When the Federal Constitution was, on September 28, 1787, submitted by Congress to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, there was very strong opposition to its adoption in all the States. The Democrats, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, feared that the provisions of the instrument would unduly abridge States rights and result in a Government too highly centralized for their views. It was necessary for nine States to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth State, New Hampshire, gave its approval. The States which had not ratified up to that time were Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Virginia and New York gave their assent in 1788. When President Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Hall in New York, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had ratified and, therefore, were not States of the United States. These two reluctant States did, however, come into line. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The Bill of Rights was a pacer in the democratic movement in America and as such is entitled to all the prestige of leadership. Yet it really took a century after its enactment for American women to procure the 19th amendment to the Federal Constitution which compelled reluctant States to grant them the basic right of the free—the right to vote. Non-Christian men and freethinkers of their sex more readily wrested from State legislatures the guaranty of their civil rights. But even the original Bill of Rights would have been a dead letter if dauntless men and women, risking death, had not taught the public to listen without rioting to opinions which it abhorred. That educational process enabled the letter of the law to live in practice, or application, for the American way of life. In celebrating the original Bill of Rights now, we should celebrate with it the courage and skill of the men and the women who made tolerance a fact as well as a principle of law. The open forum, so characteristic of American democracy, owes its inception and its continuation to persons of both sexes who insisted that law and practice were parts of the same thing. That rights carry duties has become a third aspect of democratic evaluations, nurtured on free debates. It is increasingly understood in America that liberty could become license; that rights if viewed as extreme personal privileges could reduce society to anarchy. There is today, in connection with rights, the wide prevalence of the philosophy that rights are granted to individuals in order that they may develop their talents for competent voluntary cooperation in the thought and action essential to the strength of society, to general welfare, and to the very endurance of civil liberties themselves. A history of civilization could be written around the derivation of the privileges that constitute our Bill of Rights. The emphasis would be not on rulers and governments but on the struggle mankind has waged for centuries to obtain recognition of the rights of individual men. These rights are guaranties necessary to any people who wish to live in the free atmosphere of liberty. They are the foundation of any government that exists by the free will of the governed and not by the military force of self-appointed rulers. The history of our own Bill of Rights is fired with the determination of the American people to preserve their liberties as individuals living in a free state. It is significant that these first 10 amendments in our Constitution were drawn from earlier declarations of rights which a number of the Original Thirteen States had formulated for themselves before they joined the Union. They not only served as models for our Federal Constitution but became basic patterns for new democracies all over the world. Today there is abroad in the world a monstrous force that would set the clock back and reestablish regimes that rank the state above the individual. Already in many lands fundamental rights have been destroyed; and the existence of our own is threatened. Such crises have occurred before in the history of man but never with such ruthless vehemence and on such a worldwide scale. Mr. President, there are many objections to H. R. 6127, but the strongest objection is the failure to give a jury trial. I wish now to present to the Senate some information on the jury trial and I shall go into the historical development of the jury system. This information is coming from the History of the Jury System, by Maximus A. Lesser, instructor of political science, New York Evening High School. Some very important points are brought out here about the jury system which are pertinent to this debate. {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Historical Development of the Jury System}}}}}} {{c|{{sm|(By Maximus A. Lesser)}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JURY}}}} {{smaller block|The subject we propose to investigate is the historical genesis and gradual development of an institution which, today is an inseparable element of English jurisprudence and an important factor in the administration of justice, wherever the English or common law, “* * * the State’s collected will, o’er thrones and globes elate, sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.”}} {{smaller block|This purpose is not free from difficulties, for, while the nature and functions of the tribunal, as today existent, are sufficiently well comprehended, still the origin of that institution and the successive steps by which it was evolved are less clearly understood and subject to considerable misconception, as is evinced by the many and conflicting theories advanced in explanation thereof. It is the object of this treatise to reconcile, as far as may be, these various views, to give to each well sustained suggestion its proper weight and effect during the formative period, and to trace its influence in the production of the result. The method of treatment is, in general, chronological; for the English jury is so closely interwoven with the historical and political development of the English nation, that every component which contributed to the formation and completion of the latter had a concomitant effect upon the former; accordingly, the history and features of each foreign factor will be described in connection with that period of our history at which it first made itself felt. For to the jury may be truly applied, what Maine says of law, that it is a matter of growth, the result of the needs of the community in which it originated; and an institution—as another writer well observes—which “does not owe its existence to any positive law; it is not the creature of an act of Parliament establishing the form and defining the functions of the new tribunal. It arose * * * silently and gradually out of the usages of a state of society which has forever passed away.” We will, in the first place, regard its general aspect and characteristics as beheld today, and then proceed to consider whether, and in what respects, it is resembled by institutions of early days. The body with which we have to deal—in the language of an able Scotch jurist—“is the institution by which disputed facts are to be decided for judicial purposes in the administration of civil or criminal justice, and which is in modern times familiar to us under the denomination of trial by jury. * * * The etymological derivation of the term is obviously from ''juro'', to swear, whence we find this institution called in forensic Latin ''jurata'', and the persons composing it ''jurati''. * * * When the object is inquiry only, this tribunal is sometimes called an inquest or inquisition, as in the instance of a grand jury or coroner’s inquest; but when facts are to be determined by it for judicial purposes, it is always styled a jury.”}} {{smaller block|This board of inquiry, then, is composed of “a body of men taken from the community at large, summoned to find the truth of disputed facts. Their office is to decide upon the effect of evidence and thus inform the court truly upon the question at issue, in order that the latter may be enabled to pronounce a right judgment. But they are not the court itself nor do they form part of it; and have nothing to do with the sentence which follows the delivery of their verdict.” While, concerning the third characteristic element of our jury, De Lolme wrote that they who have the power to discriminate between disputed facts and “to whom the law has thus exclusively delegated the prerogative of deciding that a punishment is to be inflicted—those men without whose declaration the executive and the judicial powers are both thus bound down to inaction, do not form among themselves a permanent body, who may have had time to study how their power can serve to promote their private views or interest; they are men selected at once from among the people, who perhaps never were before called to the exercise of such a function, nor foresee that they ever shall be called to it again.”}} {{smaller block|In other words, the jury is the sole judge of the weight of evidence adduced and the arbiter of compensation for contracts broken or injuries sustained, and is composed of men selected by lot and “sworn to declare the facts of a case as they are delivered from the evidence placed before them”—its province being to determine the truth of facts or the amount of damages in civil, and the guilt or innocence of the accused in criminal, cases.}} {{smaller block|This province is confined by the following limitations:}} {{smaller block|(1) It is restricted to the consideration of matters proved by evidence at the trial;}} {{smaller block|(2) It is subject to the instructions of the judge, concerning the rules of law applicable;}} {{smaller block|(3) It is influenced by the directions of the judge, as to weight, value, and materiality of evidence;}} {{smaller block|(4) It is affected by the selection of the jurors from the locality of the action, whence they discharge their duties with a certain amount of independent local knowledge, whilom “counted on, and deemed essential to a just consideration of the case.”}} {{smaller block|Two other qualifications may be added. After the rendition of a verdict in a civil case, it is still within the power of the trial judge to modify or even annul the same, in a proper case; for instance, “because the verdict is for excessive or insufficient damages, or otherwise contrary to the evidence or contrary to law.”}} {{smaller block|Again, in a criminal case, a verdict of conviction, even when accompanied by a recommendation of mercy, does not control the sentence to be meted out by the presiding magistrate, who may impose the highest or lowest or any intermediate penalty prescribed by law as proper for the offense committed.}} {{smaller block|How, then, did this institution, whose features as currently administered have just been described, originate? What are the sources from whence it arose, and the forces by which it was developed? Did it spring forth, like Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, ready for action and fully equipped with forensic vesture and legal armament, or was its development the result of the gradual accretion of successive strata of growth? As stated above, various and conflicting theories are advanced to answer these queries.}} {{smaller block|“Many writers of authority,” says Canon Stubbs, “have maintained that the entire jury system indigenous in England, some deriving it from Celtic tradition based on the principles of Roman law, and adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans from the people they had conquered, others have regarded it as a product of that legal genius of the Anglo-Saxons of which Alfred is the mythic impersonation, or as derived by that nation from the customs of primitive Germany or from their intercourse with the Danes. Nor even, when it is admitted that the system of recognition was introduced from Normandy, have legal writers agreed as to the source from which the Normans themselves derived it. One scholar maintains that it was brought by the Norsemen from Scandinavia; another, that it was derived from the processes of the Canon Law; another, that it was developed on Gallic soil from Roman principles; another, that it came from Asia through the Crusades.” An American authority insists that it “is undoubtedly a development of English institutions and civilization.” Again, it is suggested that it was borrowed by the Angles and Saxons from their Slavonic neighbors in northern Europe; it has been traced to the assises de Jerusalem of Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed to be of divine origin; and, finally, a French scholar despairingly exclaims: “Son origine se perd dans la niut de temps.”}} {{smaller block|According to Robertson, “the true answer is, that forms of trial resembling the jury system in various particulars are to be found in the primitive institutions of all [Aryan] nations. That which comes nearest in time and character to trial by jury is the system of recognition by sworn inquest, introduced into England by the Normans * * * the instrument which the lawyers in England ultimately shaped into trial by jury.” The name “Recognition,” Bracton tells us, is deduced from the fact that the participants “acknowledged” a disseisin or dispossession by their verdict, and the inquest itself was “directly derived from the Frank capitularies, into which it may have been adopted from the fiscal regulations of the Theodosian Code and thus own some distant relationship with the Roman jurisprudence.” This is the system which, Lord Campbell writes, “in the fifth Norman reign had nearly superseded the simple juridical institutions of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors;” while an eminent American jurist, after observing that investigation has shown among Norman legal usages traces more closely resembling our form of jury trial than anything afforded by the system of the Anglo-Saxons, concludes:}} {{smaller block|“We regard it, therefore, as certain that all these influences contributed to establish this mode of trial in England, and to shape it as we know it to exist there. Indeed, it was not until all of them had had an opportunity of completing their work, that we find what we should now call a jury.”}} {{smaller block|A due regard for the definiteness of legal phraseology calls for some comment on the meaning of “law and fact,” terms so frequently employed in the course of this work. Law, in its widest sense, is a rule of action; in its technical sense, it is a general rule of human action, taking cognizance only of external acts, enforced by a determinate human authority paramount within a state. Whether the rule so enforced be moral or pernicious, is impertinent to the question. “The existence of law is one thing, its merit or demerit another.” Again, “although human actions are the subject-matter about which law is conversant, they are not essential to its existence; for the rule is the same, whether its application is called forth or not. * * * The rule continues in abstraction and theory, until an act is done on which it can attach. * * * The maxim, ''ex facto oritur jus'' must be understood in this sense; and the duty of judicial tribunals, consequently, embraces the investigation of doubtful or disputed facts, as well as the application of the principles of jurisprudence to such as are ascertained.”}} {{smaller block|Fact is a term most difficult to define—so much so that Mr. Justice Stephen (in the third edition of his Digest of the Law of Evidence) abandoned the attempt previously made. Webster’s definition (ed. 1859) is: “Anything done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event.” Negatively, a learned American jurist suggests that “nothing is a question of fact which is not a question of the existence, reality, truth of something.” Anything which is the subject of testimony is “matter of fact,” while “matter of law” is the general law of the land of which courts take judicial cognizance. Evidence is the means or method by which a fact under judicial examination may be proved or disproved. “Whether there be any evidence, is a question for the judge. Whether sufficient evidence, is for the jury.”}} {{smaller block|In any event, it is clear that the formula of Coke, hereinabove quoted, “was never meant to be taken absolutely. * * * It relates to issues of fact, and not to the incidental questions that spring up before the parties are at issue. The jury has to do with only a limited class of questions of fact, namely, questions of ultimate fact.” “In general, issues of fact, and only issues of fact, are to be tried by jury; when they are so tried, the jury and not the court are to find the facts, and the court and not the jury is to give the rule of law; the jury are not to refer the evidence to the judge and ask his judgment upon that, but are to find the facts which the evidence tends to establish, and may only ask the court for judgment upon these.”}} Mr. President, I shall next take up the history of the jury system of the Anglo-Saxons: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Chapter VI.—The System of the Anglo-Saxons}}}}}} {{smaller block|As regards the manner of men who now directed the destinies of England—for under that name (derived from the Angles) the island is henceforth known—and who indelibly impressed their characteristics upon it, and concerning their status in the scale of civilization, a graphic description is afforded us by the same historian. They “were little removed from the original state of nature; the social confederacy among them was more martial than civil; they had chiefly in view the means of attack and defense against public enemies, not those of protection against their fellow citizens; their possessions were so slender and so equal that they were not exposed to great danger, and the natural bravery of the people made every man trust to himself and to his particular friends for his defense. * * * An insult upon any man was regarded by his relations and associates as a common injury; they were bound by honor, as well as by a sense of common interest, to revenge his death or any violence which he had suffered; they retaliated on the aggressor by like acts of violence; and if he were protected, as was natural and unusual, by his own clan, the quarrel was spread still wider and bred endless disorders in the nation.”}} {{smaller block|Such, then, was the state of civilization which the Saxons enjoyed, and such the social and political structure which superseded the administration of the Romans. For almost four centuries the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—true to the characteristics of their founders—present a history of uninterrupted warfare, bloodshed and internecine strife, though Christianity had meanwhile prevailed among them. Wessex, however, gradually acquired the hegemony, and in A. D. 827 its King Egbert succeeded in securing his acknowledgment as supreme head of the heptarchy, with which event the history of the English nation properly begins.}} {{smaller block|Concerning their civil and social condition, at this period, after a sojourn of 400 years on English soil, it appears that “though they had been so long settled in the island [they] seem not as yet to have been much improved beyond their German ancestors, either in arts, civility, knowledge, humanity, justice, or obedience to the laws. * * * Bounty to the church atoned for every violence against society.” It cannot be doubted that, under ordinary circumstances, nationalization would have paved the way to improvements in the administration of justice, which, under the primitive system and the constant wars of the Saxons, had sadly degenerated. For, since “their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious * * * a union also in government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility. * * * But these flattering views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, kept the Anglo-Saxons in perpetual inquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude.”}} {{smaller block|The first great landmark in the history of English law is the reign of King Alfred (871–901), who, after he had restored peace, and either settled the Danes in or expelled them from the country, turned his attention to the administration of justice, which had become a mere name. His political and juridical institutions are recorded by Hume, as follows: “That he might render the execution of justice strict and regular, he divided all England into counties; these counties he divided into hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. Every householder was answerable for the behavior of his family. * * * Ten neighboring householders were formed into one corporation, who, under the name of a tithing, decennary, or fribourg, were answerable for each other’s conduct, and over whom one person, called a tithingman, headbourg, or borsholder, was appointed to preside. Every man was punished as an outlaw who did not register himself in some tithing.}} {{smaller block|“By this institution, every man was obliged from his own interest to keep a watchful eye on the conduct of his neighbors; and was in a manner surety for the behavior of those who were placed under the division to which he belonged. Whence these decennaries received the name of frankpledges. The barsholder summoned together the whole decennary to assist him in deciding any lesser difference which occurred among the members. In appeals from the decennary, or in controversies arising between members of different decennaries, the case was brought before the hundred, which consisted of 10 decennaries or 100 families of freemen, and which was regularly assembled once in 4 weeks for the deciding of causes. (Leg. Edw. c. 2.)}} {{smaller block|“Their method of decision deserves to be noted, as being”—at least in our historian’s opinion—“the origin of juries. * * * Twelve freeholders were chosen, who, having sworn (together with the hundred or presiding magistrate of that division) to administer impartial justice, proceeded to the examination of that cause which was submitted to their jurisdiction. And besides these monthly meetings of the hundred, there was an annual meeting appointed * * * for the inquiry into crimes, the correction of abuses, and other matters of public concern. If a further appeal were desired, or in controversies between members of different hundreds, the case was brought before the freeholders of the county (or shire) over whom the bishop together with the alderman presided. A final appeal lay to the King himself.}} {{smaller block|“Formerly the alderman possessed both the civil and military authority; but Alfred * * * appointed also a sheriff in each county, who enjoyed a coordinate authority with the former in his judicial (as distinguished from the military) function. His office also empowered him to guard the rights of the crown in the county, and to levy the fines imposed.”}} {{smaller block|Such was the system established by Alfred, and adhered to by his successors as far as those turbulent times permitted. For its promotion and perpetuation, as well as for the guidance of the magistrates, on whom the duty to administer it was incumbent, the same king—according to our historical guide—“framed a body of laws which, though now lost, served long as the basis of English jurisprudence, and is generally deemed the origin of what is denominated the common law.” While his judgment concerning the paternity of the system is, that “the similarity of these institutions to the customs of the ancient Germans, and to the Saxon laws during the heptarchy, prevents us from regarding Alfred as the sole author of this plan of government, and leads us rather to think that he contented himself with reforming, extending, and executing the institutions which he found previously established.”}} {{smaller block|Thus far Hume, whose profound historical researches, combined with his early legal training, certainly entitle his opinion to much weight. But the existence, among the Saxons, of any institution resembling the jury has been hotly contested, and the dispute whether it was known to the Anglo-Saxons or introduced as a result of the Norman conquest, may be thus summarized: Coke (in his Institutes), Spelman (Glossarium Archaiologicum), Blackstone (Com. III., ch. 23), Nicholson (preface to Wilkin’s Anglo-Saxon Laws), and Turner (Hist. Anglo-Saxons, IV., book XI., ch. 9) ascribe it to Saxon paternity. On the other hand, Hickes (Dissert. Epist. p. 34), Reeves (Hist. Eng. Law, I., 22, 24), and Palgrave (Rise and Progress of Commonwealth, I, 243) claim with equal confidence that it was introduced by or at least derived from the Normans and was not of Anglo-Saxon origin.}} {{smaller block|So Judge Cooley (Am. Cycl. IX. 722) approvingly observes that “so many of the attendant circumstances indicate that it was a Norman institution, bestowed upon his English subjects by a Norman king, that Sir Francis Palgrave has not hesitated to consider our jury trial as derived directly from Norman law” and Mr. Macclachlan (Eng. Cycl. III., 24) remarks: “Without entering minutely into this controversy, it may be stated that the traces of the trial by jury, in the form in which it existed for several centuries after the conquest, are more distinctly discernible in the ancient customs of Normandy than in the few and scanty fragments of Anglo-Saxon law which have descended to our time.”}} {{smaller block|The conclusion reached by Mr. Forsyth affords perhaps the fairest statement of the case, and may be advantageously quoted in this place: “It may be confidently asserted that trial by jury was unknown to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors; and the idea of its existence in their legal system has arisen from a want of attention to the radical distinction between the members or judges composing a court, and a body of men set apart from that court, but summoned to attend in order to determine conclusively the facts of the case in dispute. This is the principle on which is founded the intervention of a jury; and no trace whatever can be found of such an institution in Anglo-Saxon times.}} {{smaller block|“If it has existed,” he continues, “it is utterly inconceivable that distinct mention of it should not frequently have occurred in the body of Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary chronicles which we possess, extending from the time of Ethelbert (568–616) to the Norman Conquest (1066). Those who have fancied that they discover indications of its existence during that period, have been misled by false analogies and inattention to the distinguishing features of the jury trial which have been previously pointed out. While, however, we assert that it was unknown in Saxon times, it is nevertheless true that we can recognize the traces of a system which paved the way for its introduction, and rendered its adaptation at a later period [the reign of Henry II.] neither unlikely nor abrupt. * * * Of the exact mode in which trials were conducted in these [ante-Norman] courts, we know little; but the Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporaneous annals make frequent mention of two classes of witnesses, who play a most important part in the judicial proceedings of the time.” These are compurgators and official witnesses, who, together with other features of their system, will be more fully considered hereafter.}} {{smaller block|With the demise of King Alfred, his system gradually lost ground. “During the reign of eight kings who succeeded Alfred,” wrote Gilmans, “the country suffered constant invasions from Denmark, which became so oppressive that in 991 the King, Ethelred II., agreed to pay the Danes 10,000 pounds, called danegelt, to buy immunity. This sum was raised by a tax on land, the first one recorded in English history.” Eleven years later the same King planned and partly executed a general massacre of foreigners in the island (Danemort) which led to a fierce attack from the Danes, to the expulsion of the King, and to the establishment of Sweyn as ruler of England. His son Canute married Ethelred’s widow, a sister of the Duke of Normandy, in order, as it were, to legitimize his title, to strengthen his alliances, and to make secure the succession of his line.}} {{smaller block|When Canute, the Dane, mounted the English throne (1014) it might be supposed that he would transplant to, and incorporate in the system of, England the Danish quasi-jury or Nævninger—an institution common, with modifications, to all the Scandinavian nations—which derived its appellation from the fact of being composed of a fixed number of men (usually 12) named by the inhabitants of each district; a majority of those so chosen was competent to render a decision (subject to the ratification of the bishop and 8 best men of the district) in civil suits; while in criminal cases the accuser was obliged to convince the Nævn by sworn evidence of the truth of his charge, before the accused would be subjected to a public trial—this institution thus combining the functions of grand and petit jury with the exercise of judicial powers.}} {{smaller block|Canute, however, who was a lineal descendant of Alfred, and desirous of emulating that monarch, adopted a policy of conciliation toward the English. He had his succession to the throne ratified by a general assembly (Witenagemot) and publicly consented to restore and observe the Saxon customs and laws. In 1030, he addressed a letter “To all the Nations of the English”—under which designation he also meant to include the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—in which he said: “Be it known to you all, that I have dedicated my life to God, to govern my kingdom with justice, and to observe the right in all things.” That is, he refrained from making any essential innovations or alterations in the systems (political or judicial) to which his several dominions were accustomed, and in consequence Danish rule had no tangible formative effect on English jurisprudence.}} {{smaller block|The last of the Saxon line who ruled in England—chosen by the people when Sweyn’s family became extinct—was Edward the Confessor (1042–66) whom Hume deems commendable for his attention to the administration of justice, and his compiling for that purpose a body of laws which he collected from the laws of Ethelbert, Ina, and Alfred. This compilation, though now lost (for the laws that pass under Edward’s name were composed afterward) was long the object of affection to the English nation.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER VII.—FORMS OF TRIAL AND TRIBUNALS AMONG THE SAXONS}}}} {{smaller block|Having examined the social and political status of the Saxons in England, as evidenced by their history and environment, we may expect to find, on considering the judicial institutions, their personal characteristics reflected therein. Here, as there, we distinguish the same primitive system of administration, the same rudimentary ideas of right, the same regard for the efficacy of clerical absolution, the same adherence to old and meaningless forms, and the same reverence for the vis major.}} {{smaller block|The judicial system of the Anglo-Saxons depended for its administration on, and consisted of, four distinct factors or elements: these were, sectatores or suitors of court, the secta or suit of witnesses, official witnesses, and compurgators. These have been generally confounded or at least not clearly distinguished, and the misconception of their proper functions has given rise to many ingenious theories. In general it may be said that of all these functionaries the first class only performed judicial duties; the second and the third were species of witnesses; the fourth officiated (at least originally) in criminal cases only, while none of them were jurors. A delineation of the functions of each will be given, and a distinction attempted.}} {{smaller block|The name of sectatores is applied by Forsyth to the limited number of freemen “who attended the hundred, county, and manorial courts, to try offenses and determine disputes there; * * * and the obligation to attend was in the nature of a tenure, for neglect of which they might be distrained to appear.” For, in accordance with the customs of those days, “to do suit at a county or other inferior court was * * * one of the common tenures by which land was held, and the suitors, called sectatores, or * * * at a later period pares, were therefore bound to give their attendance.” Anciently their number appears to have depended on chance or convenience; nor do they appear to have acted always under the sanction of an oath; for to Reeves “it seems that causes in the county and other courts were heard and determined by an indefinite number of persons called sectatores,” of whom “the frequent mention,” he continues, “is no proof of juries, properly so-called, being known to our Saxon ancestors.” It would seem that this form of judicial tribunal was the modified outcome of a feature of the elaborate county system established by Alfred, and a result of the alterations necessitated and the encroachments caused by the incessant warfare prevalent after the death of that monarch, which must have greatly affected his system of government. The whole matter, however, is involved in much obscurity, and will be resumed, to some extent, in the chapter treating of the ''judicium parium''.}} {{smaller block|Concerning the second of the four classes, Professor Robertson observes: “The trial ''per sectam'' * * * resembled in principle the system of compurgation. The plaintiff proved his case by vouching a certain number of witnesses (secta) who had seen the transaction in question, and the defendant rebutted the presumption thus created by vouching a larger number of witnesses on his own side.” It was thus an application to civil suits of the principle, which governed the system of compurgation in relation to criminal causes. At a later period in Saxon history, however, it seems that compurgation was also extended to (and thus superseded the use of the secta in) * * * civil proceedings; or, at least, that the term “compurgation” was employed to designate both the criminal and the civil (''i. e.'', the sectatory) method. Indeed, the very name of secta became an alternative term for sectatores—the judges above described—which led to the confounding of the one with the other, and bred endless confusion and mistake.}} {{smaller block|At a more advanced period of the Anglo-Saxon dominion, when the defects of their mode of evidence and system of trial became perceptible even to their untutored minds, an attempt was made to partially remedy these defects by the official appointment in each district of sworn witnesses, whose duty it was to attest therein all sales, endowment of a woman ''ad ostium ecclesiae'', and the execution of charters. They were not subject to cross-examination, and their oath was decisive in case of dispute. Later, persons peculiarly qualified by circumstances (though not preappointed), were similarly sworn to prove age, ownership of chattels, and the death of one in whose estate dower was claimed. Hence in the Year Books (16 Edw. II., 507, A. D. 1323) we read complaint that one “may name ses cosyns et ses auns, who by his procurement will decide against us.”}} {{smaller block|The most important of the four elements, and that destined to play the largest part in the development of trial by jury, was compurgation. Under the Saxon system, in criminal cases the charge of the prosecutor or accuser sufficed to put the accused on his defense.}} {{smaller block|This defense was by means of the process of compurgation, which was in vogue among the various Teutonic nations (12 being the usual number) and rested on the maxim: “Nobilis homo ingenuus—cum duodecim ingenuis se purget.” Compurgators may be defined as persons, who supported by their oaths the credibility of the party accused, pledging their belief in the latter’s denial of the charge brought against him.}} {{smaller block|These were in no sense witnesses, for they might be wholly ignorant of the real facts in dispute; nor were they a jury, for no evidence was submitted to their consideration. They were merely friends of the party who summoned them; they knew his character, and by their united oaths they at once attested that character and their confidence in his truthfulness and the justice of his cause.}} {{smaller block|This mode of trial was brought into England by the Saxons, and Judge Cooley thus describes it: “Then the party accused—or, in later times, the party plaintiff or defendant—appeared with his friends, and they swore, he laying his hand on theirs and swearing with them, to the innocence of the accused, or to the claim or defense of the party. Little is certainly known either of the origin or of the extent, in point of time or of country, over which the trial by compurgators prevailed; but it must have had great influence over the subsequent forms of procedure. It fixed the number of the traverse (''i. e.'', the petit or trial) jury at 12, that being the common number of compurgators * * * and this was a great improvement on the varying and sometimes very large number in Greece and Rome.”}} {{smaller block|Where the compurgators coincided in a favorable declaration, there was a complete acquittal. But if the accused was unable to present a sufficient number of these purgers; or, “if the party had been before accused of larceny or perjury, or had otherwise been rendered infamous and was thought not worthy of credit—he was driven to make out his innocence by an appeal to heaven, in the trial by ordeal,” which was practiced either by the boiling water or the red-hot iron; the former being supplied to the common people, while the latter was reserved for the nobility. The nature of this institution is so curious and interesting, and its peculiarities throw so much light on the character of that age, as to warrant a fuller consideration of this primitive predecessor and sometime competitor of our criminal jury.}} {{smaller block|If the accused was sentenced to undergo the ordeal by hot water, “he was to put his head into it or his whole arm, according to the degree of the offense: if it was by cold water, his thumbs were tied to his toes, and in this posture he was thrown into it. If he escaped unhurt by the boiling water (which might easily be contrived by the art of the priests), or if he sunk in the cold water, which would certainly happen, he was declared innocent. If he was hurt by the boiling water or swum in the cold, he was considered as guilty.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator tell me the name of the case he is reading? Mr. THURMOND. It is the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. This so-called amendment that came from the House does not provide for a jury trial unless the judge in his discretion sees fit to give one; or unless he imposes punishment of more than 45 days’ imprisonment or a fine of more than $300. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator quoting at this point from a particular case, and, if so, will the Senator give us the name of the case? Mr. THURMOND. I am not quoting from a case at this particular time. I am going back into the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And to show how through the life of this Nation the jury trial has developed. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And how our forefathers in writing the Constitution put into it by article III., section 2, under which a man charged with a crime is entitled to a trial by jury. To remove any further doubt, when the Bill of Rights was written the same provision was made in several places. The sixth amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees a man charged with a crime the right to a jury trial. During the night, probably about 4 or 5 o’clock this morning, I did cite a case holding that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man who is being tried for criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know whether it has ever been held that criminal contempt is not a crime under the law of the Nation? Mr. THURMOND. I do not know of any decision in the courts where criminal contempt has not been considered a crime, and I have had all the authorities and ran them down. Criminal contempt is a crime. We have a decision on that point. When a man is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a trial by jury. However, under this proposal, the so-called compromise which came from the House, he will not get a jury trial unless the judge, out of the goodness of his heart, says “I think you are entitled to a jury trial, and I am going to give you one.” Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Or unless the judge tries him first and finds him guilty and finds that he should be punished by more than 45 days’ imprisonment or $300 fine, in which event he can give him a new trial. The judge tries him once, and then he will be tried again. I think there again the so-called compromise is unconstitutional because you cannot put a man in jeopardy two times. If he is tried once, he has been in jeopardy and he cannot be put in jeopardy again. The whole thing is a concoction to get a compromise on something for civil rights. It is purely an endeavor to get some kind of compromise; but it violates the Constitution, and I hope the Senate and the Congress will not pass it. Even people who believe in civil rights and have fought for civil rights are of that opinion. The distinguished Senator from Minnesota [Mr. {{sc|Humphrey}}] has made many speeches on civil rights. I remember one he made in 1948 at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, which I did not like at all because I am a States righter and not a so-called civil righter. I believe in real civil rights, but not the kind of civil rights which are being alleged here. I do not know how Senators who really believe in civil rights and who know the Constitution can vote for a bill which flatfootedly violates several provisions of the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know of any greater civil right any person possesses in any nation than the right to a trial by a jury of his peers and his neighbors when he is accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot imagine any civil right I would rather possess were I charged with a crime. I do not know of any civil right that is more vital to the people of the United States than the right of trial by jury. I do not know of any civil right that one could envision that could be more important. The right of trial by jury is most important because a man may be tried for his life. If he is not tried for his life, he can be put in prison. He can have his liberty taken away from him. It is only after trial by jury that a man in this Nation can have his liberty taken away from him. I do not want a judge to try me if I ever have to be tried. I want 12 of my peers, 12 of my fellow countrymen, as the Constitution provides. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Is not the right to trial by jury, in which a person accused of a crime to challenge any prejudiced person who might be on the jury venire one of the possible differences between the free system of government that exists in this Nation and other free nations as compared to the system of government that exists in Communist nations? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Senator has the vision to see and realize the importance of what jury trial means to the people of this Nation. I quoted during the night Associate Justice Brennan of the Supreme Court. I do not think a man could have made a stronger address than he made on the jury-trial question. Justice Brennan made a powerful argument for a jury trial even in automobile-accident cases. Even where property is involved—not liberty, not life, but property—he believed there should be protection to the citizen through jury trial. Under the so-called compromise civil-rights bill a judge can put a man in jail for 45 days, and some judges will do so if they have the opportunity. They will make it exactly 45 days if they want to punish a man. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Under the facts stated in regard to the situation in Washington Parish, La., it was contended that more than 1,000 colored people were denied voting rights. I am not sure if that was correct or not. Perhaps those people should or should not be on the rolls. But assuming the charge was correct, it would be possible for a judge in that case to put a person in jail for {{SIC|4,500|45,000}} days without a jury trial, alleging that there were 1,000 different offenses. Mr. THURMOND. I see no reason why he could not, if he tries the defendant on each separate offense, which I think he would have to do to sentence him for more than 45 days. If he tries the accused for one act of depriving a person of his right to vote, there would be only one act, and 45 days in my opinion would be the limit. But if a judge saw fit to try a man and sentence him to prison for 45 days, he could try him again on another charge with respect to a man who claims his rights were violated in connection with voting and the defendant could be given another 45 days. I do not think there is any limit to that. I think he could keep filing them. Mr. LONG: Is it not conceivable following such a procedure a judge could put a man in jail for his natural lifetime without a jury trial? Suppose he alleges that the defendant prevented 2,000 people from registering. That would be 90,000 days he could put the man in jail without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. While I think theoretically that is possible, I do not think actually it would be practicable. But it is theoretically possible to do that. I wish to read the distinguished Senator what Associate Justice Brennan said: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it.}} What is the Congress doing here if they let a judge try a man for criminal contempt, which is a crime? I quote Associate Justice Brennan further: {{smaller block|One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence—}} In my State they cannot comment on the evidence and I do not believe they can in the State of the Senator from Louisiana, can they? In a few cases I believe they can. Mr. LONG. No; not in a criminal case. Mr. THURMOND. I do not believe they can even instruct the jury except as the parties request instruction. In some States the judge cannot charge the jury at all except where the parties request him to instruct, so jealously is the right of trial by jury regarded, leaving to the 12 fellow countrymen, 12 peers of the defendant, the authority to decide the case. I wish to quote further from Associate Justice Brennan: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies, and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question to my distinguished colleague from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. I regret that because of my ill health, of which the Senator is aware, I was unable to be here. Mr. THURMOND. I am sorry, too. I thought about the distinguished Senator a great deal and inquired about him. Mr. LANGER. I am sure during the night sometime the distinguished Senator from South Carolina discussed how the jury system came into being; is that correct? The divine right of kings principle was set aside and the jury system installed in its place. Mr. THURMOND. That is right. I am going now into the history of the jury system. That is the very thing I am discussing now. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that in the State of South Carolina—and, I might say, it is true in some of the other States—the higher courts have set aside verdicts of guilty because of the presence of prejudiced jurors or jurors who did not tell the truth on their examination, when they were asked if they knew anything about the facts. We have always been extremely jealous under the Constitution to see that every defendant receives a fair and honest trial. I know that there have been such cases in the State of South Carolina as the type to which I have referred. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. I was a trial judge for 8 years, and came into close contact with jurors. I know how jurors feel. I know how the people feel. The citizens of this country believe in the jury system. It is a part of their nature to believe in the jury system. Those who have talked with me do not like the fact that the bill provides for compromising the Constitution in order to get a compromise civil-rights bill. We should not compromise the Constitution. That is exactly what this so-called compromise bill does, on the jury-trial question. Mr. LANGER. I am sure that when the distinguished Senator was a judge, if any efforts were made to influence a jury, either by telephone or letter, if the judge became aware of it, he promptly declared a mistrial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is correct. Any judge would set aside a verdict if a juror were influenced. Judges are human. Some people look upon a Federal judge as sacrosanct, so to speak—clothed with a robe, high, mighty, and arrogant. They are human, and they are subject to the errors of human nature, just as any other citizen is. They should not be entrusted with this great power, involving the liberty of our people, in violation of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that once in a while there is a dishonest judge. Is not that true? Mr. THURMOND. I presume it is. However, I have never heard of any in South Carolina. Mr. LANGER. We had a very dishonest Federal judge in the State of North Dakota at one time. I had personal experience with him. Time and again during my service in the Senate I have charged that judge with being dishonest. He is still alive. I did not rely upon Congressional immunity. I have made that statement often. I have never been sued for it, and I know very well that I never will be. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the distinguished Senator would not want such a judge to try him for criminal contempt, which is a crime. I am certain that the distinguished Senator from North Dakota would want a jury to try him. Is not that correct? Mr. LANGER. That is certainly correct. I believe that in the State of South Carolina, or any other State, the people will insist not only on good, honest judges, but also on seeing to it that the jury system is kept unimpaired. Mr. THURMOND. Some of the proponents of the bill think they are going to punish the South. However, the bill applies to every American. The bill will fly back in the faces of some of its proponents and their friends, and they will be surprised. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to discuss this question with the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. I was discussing the history of the jury system. I continue to read from “History of the Jury System,” in the chapter entitled “Trials and Tribunals Among the Saxons.” {{smaller block|It will be observed that it was the priests who had charge of administering these tests of innocence—termed ''judicia dei''—and they doubtless reaped a rich harvest from the monopoly of this privilege, commensurate with the wealth and the guilt of the accused.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator further yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In view of the fact that I mentioned a dishonest judge, I should like to give an illustration of how a dishonest judge operates. In the first place, when it is desired to obtain a jury which is dishonest, a special assistant United States marshal will be appointed. The marshal will walk into a store, for example, and say, “Mr. Jones, I would like to have you take 100 subscriptions to a certain newspaper.” The man behind the counter might say, “Why should I take a hundred subscriptions?” The marshal may say, “We are fighting the Governor of the State.” If the man takes 100 subscriptions, and pays $100, or $1 apiece for a year, his name goes into the jury box; and if he does not subscribe, his name does not go into the jury box. In the case to which I have reference, the slips which were put into the box were different. The names of those who were prejudiced against a defendant would be written on wide slips. The names of those who were not so prejudiced were written upon narrow slips. A clerk was conniving with the judge. I may say that later the clerk went to the penitentiary. He would feel around until he felt a broad slip, and withdraw that slip. A Federal judge has a vast amount of power. A judge may say, “I am not going to allow any of the defense lawyers to examine any prospective jurors. Let them write out their questions and submit them to me, and I will ask the prospective jurors whether or not they are prejudiced, or what answers they have to the questions.” Two or three days might be consumed in the effort to get a fair jury; but because of the fact that the Federal judge will not allow the lawyers for the defendant to ask any questions, the judge will finally get a jury which has not been thoroughly examined from the viewpoint of the defendant. That is not all. A dishonest judge, by the tone of his voice, can let the jury know what he himself thinks of the case. For example, the defendant may be giving testimony, and if the United States attorney interrupts him the Federal judge may say, “Well, let the defendant tell his story,” with a sneer on his face, for the benefit of the jury. When it comes to his instructions, he may, in a very low tone of voice, give the instructions he is required to give which are favorable to the defendant. Then he raises his voice and makes gestures which let the jury know he does not believe the defendant to be innocent. He tries to impress the jury by his loud tone of voice and the things he says in his instructions, which tend to prejudice the jury. I have seen it happen. I myself was a trial lawyer. I served at one time as attorney general of my State, and later as governor of the State. As I have previously stated, a Federal judge has a vast amount of power. He can name special bailiffs is he decides that the number of bailiffs in the court is not sufficient. He can appoint half a dozen or a dozen more, and have them carry revolvers to impress the rank and file of the jurors with the great importance of the case. A Federal judge can claim that his life is in danger, and he can have Federal troops escort him back and forth between the courthouse and the hotel. A Federal judge can have airplanes flying over the courthouse, to repel the mob, for the purpose of impressing the jury with the gravity of the case which is pending before it. I have gone all through that experience. When I came to the Senate one of the charges brought against me was with respect to the four Federal cases in which I, as governor of the State, was tried. A Federal judge who is dishonest, with all the power he has, need not be afraid of any governor, because he holds the position for life. During the history of the United States there have been only five impeachments of Federal judges. I well remember a case which was brought before I became a Member of the Senate. Senator Josiah Bailey, a very distinguished Senator, said to me in connection with that case, “I voted ‘not guilty’ on all counts except the last one. I voted ‘guilty’ on the last one.” It was the fact that he voted “guilty” on that count which resulted in the impeachment of the judge. We must take into consideration the money that is required, the lawyers who are required, and so forth. The Senate does not like to take up an impeachment case. Yet, that is the only remedy a poor man has in the matter of impeaching a dishonest Federal judge. I am frankly delighted that the distinguished Senator from South Caroline has been going into the history of how the jury trial originated. There was a great battle to obtain the right of trialby jury on behalf of the people of England before they ever achieved their goal. One of the very first of the English juries was sent out by the judge time and time again and asked to bring in a verdict of guilty, and the jury refused to do so. They were out for many hours defying the judge. Finally, the judge said he would put them in jail. One of the greatest calamities that could possibly occur in this country or in any other country would be to have the “divine right of kings” come back and the jury system made inoperative. I wish to thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate. Mr. THURMOND. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota is to be commended for his statement. Mr. President, it is not a question of civil rights. They have hooked to it an unconstitutional provision. It is now a question of whether we shall vote for a bill that violates the Constitution and takes away from citizens the right to a trial by jury. I believe it was at Runnymeade, in 1215, that there were wrenched from King John certain rights for the benefit of the people which were written into a paper known as the Magna Carta. One of the rights wrenched from King John and which the people had cherished so long and which had been denied them was the right of trial by jury. Mr. President, our Declaration of Independence starts out by citing grievances, among which was the fact that in many instances the citizens of the Colonies had been tried without a jury. That was one of the grievances brought up and included in the Declaration of Independence. When our Constitution was written our forefathers had heard their fathers speak of how in generations back the people had suffered persecution. That was why many of them came to these shores, to enjoy liberty and freedom. After studying the governments of the world at that time, our forefathers finally decided on the tripartite system of government, with its three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, which could check on each other. They did not stop with that, Mr. President. The States organized their governments on the same basis, so that what we have is what is known as a compound Republic. We have a division of power between the States and the Federal Government. We have a division of power between the different branches on the national level and on the State level. Our forefathers, when they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787, were determined that one thing would be contained in it would be the right of trial by jury. It is found in article III., section 2, and it provides that the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. It does not make any other exceptions for civil rights or anything else. It provides that all crimes except that of impeachment shall be tried by jury and that the trial shall be held in the State in which the crime was committed. Even after the Constitution was written, three distinguished men attending the Convention would not sign it. They were George Mason, of Virginia, who was the author of the Bill of Rights; John Randolph, of Virginia, another very prominent citizen; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. They refused to sign the Constitution even after it was written. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, would the Senator from South Carolina be willing to yield to me for the purpose of submitting a unanimous-consent request to the Senate to the effect that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears the telegram of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin may be read and the oath be administered by unanimous consent of the Senate, without my friend from South Carolina losing the floor thereby, and that his remarks thereafter shall not count as a second speech against him, and that this interruption be placed in another portion of the {{sc|Record}}? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield under those conditions. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears in the Chamber the clerk may read the telegram from the Governor of Wisconsin and that the Senate give its consent to the oath being administered to the Senator-elect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous-consent request of the Senator from Texas? The Chair thinks it also includes the provision that the Senator from South Carolina [Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}] shall not lose the floor. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. All the conditions enumerated, Mr. President. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, reserving the right to object—and, of course, I shall not object—I should like to be associated with the unanimous-consent request made by the distinguished majority leader. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I make the request on behalf of the minority leader and myself. I wish to make it abundantly clear that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears consent will have already been given to his being sworn in after the telegrams have been read; and that the Senator from South Carolina will still retain the floor and will be protected in his right to the floor and in the fact that he has made only one speech on this subject. Also, Mr. President, I request that the interruption be placed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and the request is agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. I thank the Senator from South Carolina for yielding. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was engaged in colloquy with the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Langer}}] ,at the time when we were interrupted. I should like to continue the colloquy with him. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from North Dakota for his questions and for bringing out the points he did. What I started to say is that when the Constitution Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 for the purpose of writing a constitution, the deputies, as they were called then, were confronted with the very difficult proposition of how the States would have representation. The large States wanted representation in proportion to population; the small States wanted representation according to States, regardless of size. Of course, they reached a compromise, and we have the two bodies of Congress. The Senate has an equal number of Senators from each State, regardless of the size of the State, and the House of Representatives is based on population. That is only one of the many intricate problems which had to be fought and settled by the Convention. It was a very difficult task to bring about the adoption of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question at this point? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. The Senator from North Dakota, as the distinguished Senator from South Carolina knows, is very much interested in the small States. The two Senators from North Dakota are very much interested in the small States. They have been battling and fighting for the rights of the small States. Today there are six States which never have had any Cabinet members. For example, take the State of Florida. It has now for 107 years been a member of this Union. Yet the State of Florida has never had a member of the Cabinet, although the city of New York under Franklin Roosevelt at one time had six from the State of New York. Take the State of Nevada. Nevada had an Ambassador. The State of South Dakota has never had one. Montana never has had one. Idaho never has had one. The Senator from North Dakota finally succeeded in getting one for North Dakota, the first one after 62 years of statehood. It seems to me that the Senators from these States and from the States of smaller population a long time ago ought to have gotten together and said to the State Department, “We demand that citizens of the States of lesser population also have some appointments as ambassadors, or occasionally have a man appointed to the Cabinet of the President of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree with the Senator, and what I said was by way of illustration. Mr. LANGER. Yes. Mr. THURMOND. The point I started to make was this: There were so many problems confronting the deputies in Philadelphia that they had a very hard time drafting a constitution, and even after it was drafted, it would not have been ratified if they had not promised the leading political leaders of the day that there would be a Bill of Rights. That is the only way they were able to have the Constitution adopted; and even then, George Mason, of Virginia; John Hancock, of Massachusetts; Elbridge Gary, of Massachusetts, refused to sign it. They did not want to take for granted any question about the rights to which the people were entitled, and one of the precious rights in which they were most interested was the right of trial by jury. The right of trial by jury was not only written in article III., section 2 of the Constitution, but in several places in the Bill of Rights. The right of trial by jury has been handed down to us as part of our Government as a great heritage, and we do not want to run the risk of losing that precious right. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true at the present time in one foreign country after another, to whom we have been sending foreign aid and with whom we fought in World War II., later in the Korean war—one of the very things we are advocating in these countries are reforms which will provide trial by jury. Is that not correct? Mr. THURMOND. I understand we have been advocating that other countries, in which we have been trying to help the people to set up democratic governments, accord the right of trial by jury. It is going to look a little inconsistent to those people to whom we have held out trial by jury as the ideal, when we pass a bill which proposes to take away trial by jury. Some persons do not feel this is important; some of them say, “Well it is a compromise. The House held to a certain idea and the Senate another; and it is a matter of getting together as best they could.” But this is a vital question. There is nothing more important, no right more important than that of trial by jury. Mr. LANGER. I assume the Senator means a fair trial, an honest trial. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. The experience the Senator has had as judge ably demonstrated that, did it not? Mr. THURMOND. My experience has been that a jury will come nearer rendering a fair verdict than a judge will, because there are 12 men on the jury—and Mr. Justice Brennan concurs in this—who hear the evidence and reach a conclusion. It is a most important matter; yet here in this so-called civil rights bill— Madam President, may we have order, please? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. The effect of the so-called civil-rights bill is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution says, in article III., section 2, that “the trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment; shall be by jury,” and then in the sixth amendment to the Constitution the statement is made again. It says, “In all”—it does not say in some—it does not say in all but civil rights; it makes no exception. It says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses.}} And so forth. instead of that, this civil-rights bill now includes an amendment—which has been added by the House of Representatives—which gives the judge the power to make the decision, without a trial by jury, unless the fine exceeds a certain amount of money or unless the period of incarceration exceeds a certain number of days. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair) Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true that one of the arguments used when the right of women’s suffrage was asked for, was that women should have the right to sit on juries? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that women be allowed to sit on the juries. I think it is very wholesome to have that allowed. Such a law has not yet been passed in South Carolina, but I think it will be; in my opinion, that time will come. Mr. LANGER. We who live in North Dakota have had such a law for many years, and it works very satisfactorily. Mr. THURMOND. I so understand. In some States, women are allowed to serve on juries, if they wish, but they are not forced to do so. In other States, women must serve on juries, if called. In other States, women do not have to serve at all on juries. Madam President, the bill of rights—and the right of trial by jury is the heart of the bill of rights—is the most precious document of the American people. Madam President, let me say to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota that when the Declaration of Independence was written, it included a very definite reference to trial by jury. I wish to read part of the Declaration of Independence, in order to remind the distinguished Senator from North Dakota of that fact. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, I shall be very glad to have the Senator from South Carolina do so. Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I read now from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.}} {{smaller block|We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.}} {{smaller block|He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.}} {{smaller block|He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.}} {{smaller block|He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.}} {{smaller block|He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.}} {{smaller block|He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.}} A little later in the Declaration of Independence, we find the following— Mr. LANGER. Madam President, it is very interesting to hear the Declaration of Independence read. Mr. THURMOND. It is, indeed. I read further from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.}} {{smaller block|He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.}} {{smaller block|He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.}} {{smaller block|He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.}} {{smaller block|He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.}} {{smaller block|He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.}} {{smaller block|He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.}} {{smaller block|He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:}} {{smaller block|For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:}} {{smaller block|For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:}} {{smaller block|For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:}} {{smaller block|For imposing taxes on us without our consent:}} {{smaller block|For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.}} That was one of the cardinal points which was set forth in the Declaration of Independence, namely, that the King of England had deprived the colonists “in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}, in accordance with the previous unanimous-consent agreement, yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas, for the purpose of having the Senator-elect from Wisconsin take the oath of office. By agreement, the proceedings incident thereto appear in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) The VICE PRESIDENT. Pursuant to the order, the Chair recognizes the Senator from South Carolina. The Senate will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, a good many Senators were not here when I presented my views earlier during this debate, and I shall take a few minutes now to express a few points which I should like to have them hear. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution, because that would be the result, insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common law cases. As I have stated earlier today, I cited a decision during this debate to show that criminal contempt is a crime. Since criminal contempt is a crime, a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no way, under the Constitution, by which a man charged with a crime can be denied a trial by jury. Since the decision I have cited shows that criminal contempt is a crime, it simply follows that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. These guaranties to which I referred, in article III., section 2, of the Constitution, and in the fifth and seventh amendments, were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historical document their complaints against the denial of the right to trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. I am going to read the section of the Declaration of Independence in which our forefathers with courage and stamina severed their relations with the mother country, Great Britain, and established their own government. A list of grievances against the King was set forth in that document and among those grievances there was one pertaining to trial by jury. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|Depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.}} In other words, those who signed the Declaration of Independence gave as one of the reasons for declaring their independence and for cutting loose from the King the fact that they had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. Therefore we can see with that incentive in mind in writing the Declaration of Independence why there was such a strong urge in writing the Constitution to include in it a provision for trial by jury, and then later in writing the Bill of Rights, to provide a trial by jury without the exceptions which are contained in this so-called compromise that came from the House of Representatives. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and one-time Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. The Bill of Rights, he declared— {{smaller block|denies the power of any Government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.}} Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional Government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic laws, if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes; in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.}} The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “the trial of all crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days’ imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. In this day and time I wonder, sometimes, if there is not too much compromise. It does my heart good to see a man with strong convictions, a man who believes in something, a man who stands for something and who is not willing to compromise on everything when there is a vital principle at stake. Mr. President, I realize that legislation to a large extent is compromise. That is perfectly legitimate when it does not involve the Constitution. But when it involves the Constitution, there should be no compromise. There should have been no compromise on this bill which comes back to the Senate from the House. There can be no compromise with reference to the manner in which the bill was amended. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of Government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was approved by the Senate. The enactment in the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, was a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope that a majority of this Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the bloc voting of the pivotal States. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that— {{smaller block|Behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about.}} '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', 12 members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies visit the Senate, and Mr. Thurmond’s is interrupted, so as to introduce the deputies appropriately. At the time in the ''Record'', several other matters are read into the ''Record'', namely, a “Message from the House,” the “House Bills and Joint Resolutions Referred,” and the “House Concurrent Resolution Referred.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, to explain his point Mr. Alsop cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the “Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States,” Mr. Alsop stated that it is “almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election.” In other words, Mr. Alsop says that the whole civil-rights fight is purely political, and the effect of it is that both parties are vying to get the Negro vote in the doubtful States. To explain his point he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in those States. Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any Presidential candidate could lose those three States and win the election. I shall not take any more further time to present the analysis he made, but he went into considerable detail. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today, but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of this bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether or not to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge so long as he does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed for denying trial by jury. The proponents of this bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected by it. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When this bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted that great legal mind of the 18th century of England, Blackstone, because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence. I have also quoted heretofore and cited a case which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That is a decision I have heretofore reviewed. I might refer to it again for the benefit of any who missed it, because that is an important point. I do not believe that some of the lawyers in the Congress have realized that criminal contempt is a crime. ''Bessett'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' (194 U. S. 324) says a contempt proceeding is criminal in its nature. ''Ex parte'' Grossman (267 U. S. 87) says a criminal contempt committed by disobedience of an injunction issued by the district court to abate a nuisance in pursuance of the prohibition law is an offense against the United States, and within the pardoning powers of the President under article II. of the Constitution. The ''Conkey'' case I just referred to, volume 194 United States Reports, page 324, defines civil and criminal contempt, pointing out that the latter, criminal contempt, is criminal and punitive in its nature, and the Government, the courts, and the people are interested in their prosecution. If criminal contempt is a crime, as the United States Supreme Court decision holds it is, then under the Constitution of the United States a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury. There is no ifs, ands, and buts about it. There can be no exceptions. Article III., section 2 of the Constitution provides: {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights, it is provided: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} Mr. President, when this bill was previously debated in the Senate, I cited Blackstone as an authority, and I may cite him again today, but I want to refer to a portion of this bill, to show how it violates the Constitution on the jury trial question. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to my distinguished friend for a question. Mr. LANGER. Could the Senator from South Carolina tell us how it happened that the Federal judges encroached upon the rights of defendants? How did they come to hold that contempt of court was not a crime? Mr. THURMOND. There is a long story about contempt and how it arrived at where it is now. I might say, in brief, and that is what my distinguished friend is interested in, that under the present law a man charged with criminal contempt gets a jury trial unless the Government is a party to the suit, and in labor disputes defendants get a jury trial even if the Government is a party to the suit. Under this so-called compromise which the House sent to the Senate, that will not be the case unless a judge in his discretion sees fit to give the defendant a jury trial, or the judge tries him and decides he wants to punish him to a greater extent than a $300 fine or a 45 days’ prison sentence, in which event he would then have a jury trial. Mr. President, under the version of the bill which was passed by the House of Representatives, the Attorney General could substitute the government for a private party, and thereby could deprive an individual of a jury trial. But the Senate amended the bill as passed by the House of Representatives; and the Senate sent the bill, as thus amended, back to the House of Representatives. The Senate, by means of one of its amendments, drew a distinction and delineated between civil contempt and criminal contempt. The amendment provided that if the purpose of the action the judge wished to obtain was compliance with his order, in the case of something to be done in the future, failure to comply with the order would constitute civil contempt; but if the purpose was to punish for something done in the past, failure to comply with the judge’s order would constitute criminal contempt. The Senate amended the bill, as I have stated, and returned the bill, as thus amended, to the House of Representatives. Then the House of Representatives added the amendment which I believe violates the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. It has been a pleasure, I assure the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. Mr. President, because of the authoritative place that Blackstone holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him at this time. Every lawyer respects Mr. Blackstone. He said: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law.}} That is what Blackstone said about trial by jury—that it is “the glory of the English law.” Blackstone further said: {{smaller block|And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under Providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} In other words, Rome, Sparta, and Carthage did not have trial by jury when their people lost their liberties. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen; chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth and the surest guardians of public justice, For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, that is what Mr. Blackstone said. No brighter legal mind ever shone in the brilliant galaxy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied to another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and he made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. * * * One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions.}} Mr. President, in my State the judge charges the jury as to the law, but he cannot comment on the facts. In some States a judge is not even permitted to charge the jury, unless the parties to the suit request it. I read further from the address by Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials, because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, those are the words of Associate Justice Brennan, in speaking about jury trials. I do not know how he could have stated the matter in much stronger terms. Mr. President, that statement by Associate Justice Brennan is most significant, to me, in that it comes from a member of the present Supreme Court of the United States. I shall not predict what the Court may do when the question of the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury, as embodied in the so-called compromise, is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill to be unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in the case of ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said—and this is the Supreme Court of the United States speaking: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Kennedy}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. If the Congress can say to the people of the United States that a Federal judge has absolute power to forbid a jury trial if the sentence is not more than 45 days in jail or a fine of not more than $300, and if such a law is held constitutional, what would there be to stop a future Congress from changing the amounts to 10 times those—in other words, let us say, to 450 days in jail and a fine of $3,000, or even more? As I see it, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is fighting for a principle. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. The principle—not the exact amount of the punishment or the exact amount of the fine—is the important consideration in this case. Mr. LANGER. In other words, the Senator from South Carolina is chiefly concerned with the principle, rather than with the exact amount of the punishment—whether it be 45 days in jail or a fine of $300, or whether it be more than that; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. Certainly it is a fact that the Congress should not give to any Federal judge the power to levy fines of $300 or to imprison for 45 days, without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Congress does not have power to do it if it wants to. Mr. LANGER. In my opinion, you certainly quoted excellent authority to sustain that view. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the Constitution provided that a Federal judge could give to a defendant a jury trial if he wanted to do so, or to refuse it if he wanted to do that, then there would be authority for what the House sent to the Senate. If the Constitution provided that in cases of criminal contempt defendants would be excepted from the jury. trial, the House would have been legally justified in passing what they did. But there is no exception to the right of jury trial in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution will first have to be amended in order that this so-called compromise bill, which has passed the House and is before the Senate, can be upheld. I cannot say what the Supreme Court will do, no one can say, but I do not see how they could make any other holding in view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is certainly what may be expected from the Court, in view of the statement I just quoted from Justice Brennan, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State, and I spoke on them during the night, starting with Alabama, and covered every State, including Wyoming. I cited the law and the section of the code, including North Dakota and all the States. They all have laws to protect the right to vote. In a few minutes, I am going to cite a Federal section to show that there is a Federal law already on the subject; so, if a Federal law were desired on the subject, we already have one. I think it is a matter that ought to be left to the States, but if people disagree about that, and if it is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, we already have a statute on the subject. But this bill is a violation of the Constitution on the right to a jury trial question, regardless. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Would the Senator be kind enough to read the statutes in South Carolina and Mississippi, if he has them? Mr. THURMOND. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. I shall discuss them in a few minutes. I do not know of a single case having arisen in South Carolina in which a potential voter has charged that he has been deprived of his right to vote. Had such an instance occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. When I was Governor of South Carolina, on May 1, 1947, I recommended to the State legislature that it repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature took favorable action and submitted the question to a vote of the people at the next general election, which was in November 1948. The people voted favorably on the amendment, and then in January 1949, or early in 1949, the legislature ratified the action of the people. Our poll tax was eliminated as a prerequisite to voting. So we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. We have a school tax, but no one has to pay to vote. Moreover, registration is necessary only once every 10 years. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina—if proof is desired—can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia (S. C.) Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that: “Estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution which protect a citizen’s tight to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9. SUFFRAGE}}}} {{smaller block|The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10.

For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution.

I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the {{sc|Record}} to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|SOUTH CAROLINA CODE—TITLE 23}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–73.

The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–75.

Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make.}} I do not know of any other State which gives this protection. {{smaller block|If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} The supreme court will be called together to hear one man’s case on appeal. What more can we do than that? We have, first, the board of registration; next the court of common pleas, and then the supreme court. The supreme court will hold an extra session, if necessary, to hear the appeal, and even if there is only one man who feels that he has been disenfranchised, or disqualified, for any reason, to receive a registration certificate. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–100.

If it is not there, he can even go to the secretary of state at Columbia, if there is any local prejudice or other trouble. He can go to the State capital, and obtain a certificate from the secretary of state. That is the protection we give. We have some others. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–349.

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. A little while ago the distinguished Senator said that he had before him the election laws of all 48 States. Mr. THURMOND. That is true. Mr. LANGER. Are not the laws of South Carolina more liberal than those of other States? Mr. THURMOND. I think they are more liberal with respect to voting. I think we have gone further than have most of the other States. We repealed the poll-tax requirement. We have given every opportunity to everyone to vote. I do not know of anyone in my State today who is denied the right to vote if he wishes to vote. Our requirements are not too severe. The only requirement is that the voter must be able to read or write the Constitution. The Constitution was used in order to have reference to some document. Anyone who can read and write can read the Constitution as well as he can read anything else. Or if he cannot do that, he must own $300 worth of property. If he meets either requirement, he can vote. Mr. LANGER. The Senator stated that there was a Federal law in this connection. Mr. THURMOND. Yes. Mr. LANGER. May we have the Federal statute read? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has just asked me about the Federal law on the books with regard to voting. I should like to have the Senator from North Dakota and other Senators hear this. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Case}}] and other Senators to listen to the statute I am about to read. Last night I made the point that every State in the Union has laws on this subject. Of course, if the Senator from South Dakota has already made up his mind, I do not wish to take his time. Will he give me his attention for just a moment? Mr. CASE of South Dakota. The Senator from South Dakota is listening. Mr. THURMOND. I do not wish to take the Senator’s time if his mind is made up. But if his mind is open, I want him to hear this. I made the statement last night that every State in the Nation has statutes to protect the right to vote. I called upon the Library of Congress to compile those statutes, and I read them into the {{sc|Record}}. They will be found in my speech. Starting with Alabama and going through Wyoming, every State has laws protecting the right to vote. But some people say that we need Federal laws. I do not believe many people know that we have Federal statutes on the subject. For some reason or other they must have overlooked them. I wish to read the Federal law at this time to show that there is a Federal law on the statute books. It is designated as section 594 of chapter 29, title 18, of Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. It reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|594. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS}}}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the Office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} If anyone intimidates, threatens, or coerces another with respect to voting, or with respect to how he wishes to vote, or for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote, or to vote for whomever he chooses, there is a Federal statute under which a Federal judge can send him to jail for 1 year, or fine him $1,000. There is already a Federal statute on the subject. So why pass the bill coming from the House, or any other bill to provide the right to vote? The statute which I have just read is a criminal statute. It enables the Federal Government, if it wishes to protect the right to vote, to protect any man’s right to vote, because it can put a man in jail for as long as 1 year, or fine him $1,000 if he interferes with the right of anyone to vote. The only difference is that this is a criminal statute, and if a man were prosecuted under this statute he would get a jury trial. If we believe in the Constitution and in jury trials, we want to preserve that right anyway. The Constitution is clear on the question of jury trials. Article III., section 2, is specific on it. The Bill of Rights contains several references to it. The sixth amendment, in the Bill of Rights, is directly to the point. I have before me a decision—I do not know whether the Senator heard it or not—which upholds the contention that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man is entitled to a trial by jury under the Constitution of the United States if he is charged with criminal contempt. If there have been complaints to the Federal Government in any State of the Nation about people not being allowed to vote, why has not the Justice Department taken action under the statute to which I have just referred, and put offenders behind bars or fined them if they interfered with the right of other people to vote? The Federal Government has the power to do it. It is not necessary for it to have more power. The accused should have a jury trial. This is a free country. The mere fact that a jury returns a verdict which one of the parties may not like is no excuse for abolishing the jury trial. Either the Federal Government is not doing its duty in protecting people who have complained to it that they could not vote for one reason or another, or that voting has been interfered with for one reason or another, and has not given the proper protection to those people who complained to it, or there have been no complaints. If there have been any complaints, it was the duty of the Department of Justice to take action, and they could take action under the statute I have cited. There is no use beating about the bush and saying there is a duty to pass a right to vote bill. There is such a law on the statute books. Every State in the Union has such a law. The United States Code contains a provision protecting the right to vote. Let the Attorney General enforce this statute I have cited. If he has received any complaint from South Carolina about any man not voting, or has received a complaint from any other State, it is his duty to take action under the statute, and see that the one who interferes is punished. He can be put in jail for a year or fined $1,000. Mr. President, I am merely desiring to call this to the attention of Senators who are in the Chamber at this time, because so many of them do not seem to understand that we now have a Federal law on the books, section 594, which provides for the protection of voting rights. I do not know how it could be made any stronger. The Senator from North Dakota was asking about the South Carolina statute. I read from the statutes: {{smaller block|After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–656.

Does not the Senator from North Dakota think those provisions add to the protection of voters? Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator be kind enough to repeat the Federal statute? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am particularly interested in where the Federal statute states that one can be both fined and imprisoned. Mr. THURMOND. It says “or both.” {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} But such person can get a jury trial, though. In other words, that is just another crime. It is like when a man is charged with murder or any other crime. He will have a jury trial. If he is found guilty, then the judge can sentence him to $1,000 or 1 year in prison, or both. That is a strong statute. Mr. LANGER. I want to thank the distinguished Senator for bringing that to the attention of the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is entirely welcome. I think it is a statute that a good many people may have overlooked. There has been so much talk about the right to vote and people not having the right to vote protected until I thought the Senate and the people of the Nation ought to know that not only every State has laws protecting the right to vote, but the Federal Government also has on the statute books a statute protecting the right to vote. As I stated, that is section 594, of chapter 29, title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be glad to yield to my distinguished friend. Mr. LANGER. For a question? Mr. THURMOND. For a question. Mr. LANGER. Have there been any decisions by the South Carolina Supreme Court on any of the statutes which the distinguished Senator has read? Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall offhand that any cases have gone to the supreme court. In our State everybody registers and votes who wants to, and I guess that is probably the reason there have been no cases taken to the supreme court. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, prove there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right to vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an {{SIC|unsual|unusual}} grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and non-political, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I should like to have the Senator hear this. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people, to involve neighbor against neighbor. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others, to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make the testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate, before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A civil-rights division in the Justice Department is not needed, because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed; in fact, he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved and since there is no indication that conditions will change—unless the Attorney General and the Civil-Rights Commission create trouble—there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of a Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Part III. of the bill, as originally written—which was completely obnoxious—was removed. I have several times stated my views on part IV. I object to its grant of dictatorial power to the Attorney General. The Congress should never agree to place such authority in the hands of any one official of the Government. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which reads as follows: {{smaller block|(d) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. As I understand, in the case of the existing section 594, during all these years the Attorney General of the United States has had the power to enforce that section, and he has had the assistance of the United States attorneys in every State of the Union, and they have had the help of their assistants; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. In some of the States there are eastern districts, northern districts, southern districts, and western districts—for instance, as in the case of New York; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That also is correct. Mr. LANGER. And each of those districts has United States attorneys and assistant United States attorneys and United States marshals; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. So all the necessary machinery for the enforcement of section 594, to protect the voting right of any citizen of the United States who may have had his voting right denied, has been in existence all during this period of time; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. Can the distinguished Senator from South Carolina name a single case in which the Attorney General of the United States has tried to enforce any of these statutes? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator, I will say that I do not know about the situation in other States; but as for the situation in my own State, I have not heard of such a case. However, I can see why that would be; I can understand why probably there would not be any such cases in South Carolina. That is because anyone in South Carolina who wishes to register to vote, has no trouble doing so. But I have not heard that any cases of this sort have been brought in other States. Such cases may have been brought in other States, but I have not heard of any. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I wish to ask what additional power the Attorney General will have, if a new Assistant Attorney General is appointed, inasmuch as the Attorney General already has the help of other Assistant Attorneys General and the help of United States attorneys, whose appointments have to be approved by the Senate; they cannot be appointed until the Congress has consented to the appointments. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question asked by the Senator from North Dakota, I would say that I see no need for an additional Assistant Attorney General—who, if appointed, would receive a large salary. I see no need for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, because the Department of Justice already has a civil-rights section; and there has been no evidence of any need for a big division, similar to the one now proposed to be created. I think the establishment of such a division would simply mean the payment of more salaries and a larger Federal payroll and more taxes on the backs of the American people. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In other words, there has never been a time when, under present law, the Department of Justice could not have presented a case of that sort before a grand jury, if the Department had wished to do so; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. If there had been any complaint in either North Dakota or South Carolina, let us say, to the effect that someone had not been able to vote, although he was eligible to vote, all the Department of Justice would have had to do would have been to have the United States attorneys in those States look into the matter and take whatever action would have been appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his questions. Mr. President, a moment ago I read the provisions of section 131(d). It simply means that the district courts can, under that provision, bypass the State procedures, the administrative remedies under the State laws, and can take action, and thus can cause much tension, embarrassment, and trouble although it is not necessary to do so. If anyone cannot obtain justice through the administrative remedies of his State, then of course he will be able to go to the district attorneys, and they can prosecute under the Federal statute I have just read. But the use of the existing remedies under the State laws should first be required—which is the usual procedure one would follow. No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States should not be exhausted prior to having Federal district courts take jurisdiction in cases of election-law violations. In other words, I believe in letting the States run their business, if they will. A Federal statute already is in existence; and if there is need to use it, it can be used. But why not let the States handle the matter of voting and the other matters which are reserved to them under the Constitution? Let the States handle them. Then, if the States fail to do so or if they fall down in the performance of their duty, section 594 is in existence, and it can be used as a hammer with which they can be clubbed to death, if need be. The present proposal could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority, and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 spoke strongly on behalf of the Federal courts, during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. That is the point I made just a few minutes ago. I shall not go into further details with reference to the provisions of this part of the bill, but I am just as strongly opposed to it as I was when it was first introduced. I shall continue to oppose such grants of power to the Attorney General or to any other official. Mr. President, I based my opposition to H. R. 6127 throughout its consideration in the Senate on three principal points. I am convinced the bill is unconstitutional in several respects which I have cited. I know that it is unnecessary because the right to vote is fully protected in every State and under the laws of the United States where applicable. Finally, I know that the enactment of such legislation is extremely unwise. It is unwise because the sure result of passing this bill would be to destroy a great deal of the good feeling existing between the white and the Negro races, not only in the South but in every community where a substantial number of Negroes live. Nothing would be gained, but much would be lost. The Civil Rights Commission, by using its powers to attempt to force integration of the races, is bound to create suspicion and tension between the races to an even greater degree than the suspicion and tension which was created by the 1954 Supreme Court decision in the school segregation cases. Unbiased persons who are familiar with the segregation problem, and who observed the detrimental result of the Supreme Court decision, know that a traveling investigation commission and a meddling Attorney General could bring about chaos in racial relations. The chaos would not be confined to the South because the provisions of this bill will apply to every citizen in every State. However, the Attorney General, in exercising the discretion granted him, along with the extraordinary powers also granted him, must be expected to confine his investigations and his court actions to the States of the South. The South has often been derided and condemned on charges of sectionalism, but if the advocates of this legislation believe they will create greater unity instead of greater division in this country by the enactment of this bill, they are entirely mistaken. George Washington in his Farewell Address used his strongest language against those who would divide our country and urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern, Atlantic, and western—whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} H. R. 6127 is a blueprint for suspicion, confusion, and disunity. The laws of the Nation are dependent upon the customs and traditions of the people. Unless law is based upon the will of the people, it will not meet with acceptance. Government in this country derives no power except the power coming from the people. Laws which are not based on the Constitution, which is the basic statement of the will of the people, cannot be justified on any ground. Mr. President, when there is so much evidence that this bill is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unwise, it should never be approved. Force may subjugate the human body, but force by itself can never change the human mind. Laws, like leaders, must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. H. R. 6127 fails to measure up by any standard. It should be rejected. I appeal to every Member of this body who believes in constitutional government and the sovereignty of the people to vote against this bill. Mr. President, this bill, as I have stated before, has been widely called a right-to-vote bill. That is a completely misleading term. The bill, as I have stated, in my opinion, is unnecessary, because we have laws in every State to protect the right to vote. We have laws by the Federal Government to protect the right to vote. In the sections I have cited, a man can be punished severely for any interference with the right to vote. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}} yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas and other Senators, who requested the transaction of certain business, all of which appears in the {{sc|Record}} following Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, we have the finest Nation in the world. We have the finest Government in the world. In 1787 our forefathers met in Philadelphia and wrote a document called the Constitution. It was simply a compact between the States. Our forefathers came to this country to get away from tyranny. They had been punished many times without juries. They had been denied the right to worship as they pleased. They have been denied the right of freedom of speech. They had been denied the right of assemblage. They had been denied the right to petition the government, and they had been denied many other rights which we take as a commonplace in this country. They came here to enjoy the benefits of the Government they would establish to provide them those rights. After the States operating as colonies for a while felt the need of a central government for purposes of national defense, for purposes of commerce, for purposes of postal service, trade, and other reasons, they decided to form a union. They met in Philadelphia in 1787, and with deputies from all the 13 States attending that conferential meeting, all except Rhode Island—at that time Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals and ignored the whole proceeding—all with the exception of that one State, had deputies at the Constitutional Convention. They wrote a document to delegate certain of their powers—there were States before there was a Federal union, of course—to the Federal Government for the purpose of forming a union and a central government which could do certain things for the States better than they themselves could do them. At that convention there was a very difficult situation. The delegates had to start from scratch, so to speak, to write the basic law for a new nation. Much discussion and debate occurred there, but after working together for several months in Philadelphia they finally arrived at a document, or a compact, which was signed by the representatives of the States, delegating certain powers to the Central Government. Three of the delegates attending the convention were not pleased, and did not sign it. I believe I stated this morning who they were. They were George Mason, of Virginia; John Randolph, of Virginia; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. The other delegates signed their names, except one, who left, but had his friend sign it. The document was then presented to the States for ratification. Within due time ratification was had, but there was considerable opposition at the convention, and when the question of ratification arose, the main objection which was raised was that there was not spelled out in the Constitution a bill of rights. Some of the most powerful leaders in the States opposed ratification for that reason. Those who did not sign in Philadelphia opposed it chiefly, I understand, for that reason. The Bill of Rights is a document which we cherish. The Bill of Rights is the finest civil-rights bill in the world. The Bill of Rights is a genuine civil-rights bill. That document provides us with the fundamental civil rights which we enjoy in this country today. One of the bases of the Bill of Rights—and I like to call it the heart of the Bill of Rights—is the right of trial by jury. In the Bill of Rights, the sixth amendment is a trial-by-jury amendment. It provides specifically that any person charged with a crime shall be tried by a jury. I have previously brought out today that criminal contempt is a crime, and therefore, since it is a crime, a person charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. The bill which passed the House is a compromise, as most legislation is. Some people may have felt that that was the best the House and Senate could do, because the conferees got together and reconciled the differences between the two Houses. Ordinarily that principle would be sound in connection with legislation, but it is not sound here, because the effect of the so-called compromise would be to violate the Constitution of the United States. If the so-called compromise had provided that a judge, in his discretion, could try a man for criminal contempt, I would have opposed it just as much if no punishment whatever were involved, because the Constitution says that a man is entitled to a trial by jury when he is prosecuted for a crime. There is no discretion in the Constitution. There is no ''proviso'' in the Constitution. There is no exception in the Constitution. The Constitution is perfectly clear on that point. If the punishment provided in the bill in the House had called for 1 day’s imprisonment, or a fine of $1, I would be just as bitterly opposed to it. The Constitution of the United States provides that if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to a jury trial. Under the decision which I have cited here twice today, I believe, holding that criminal contempt is a crime, it is clear that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I do not believe that the compromise amendment is valid. I do not think it is constitutional. The amendment of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] delineated and defined civil contempt and criminal contempt, and provided that civil contempt proceedings were for the purpose of bringing about compliance, in which case the order would be issued prior to the act, and that criminal contempt proceedings were to punish, in which case the order would be issued after the act. If the House had accepted it, the American people would be guaranteed trial by jury in the event of a charge of criminal contempt, which is a crime. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield to me for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to ask the Senator if I understood him correctly to say that in his opinion the so-called jury-trial provision of the bill which has been returned to us by the House is invalid and unconstitutional? Mr. THURMOND. That is my opinion. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to say to the Senator from South Carolina that I completely agree with that opinion. It is impossible to govern the right of trial by jury by the discretion of the judge, according to the penalty he conceives he intends to inflict. I should like to ask the Senator another question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the distinguished Senator. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he agrees with me that the question of jury trial should be reexamined as soon as conveniently possible, and that I would be doing a wise thing if, when the new session of Congress assembles, I should introduce a repetition of the general jury-trial amendment, firm in the belief that the advocates of civil rights, upon examination of the pretended amendment which has come to us from the House, will discover that they have bought a pigeon instead of a swallow. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question, I will say that I agree with him that the bill should be reexamined; but I think the reexamination should take place before Congress passes the bill, and not wait until next January. Mr. O’MAHONEY. If the Senator will permit me to make this comment—will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND: I will yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I shall frame it in the form of a question. Does not the Senator agree that we are all weary and worn down; that most of us are almost as tired as is the Senator himself; and that perhaps when we return in January in the full vigor of our bodies and minds we shall be able to do a better job than we can do at this session of the Congress? I am going to introduce a jury-trial amendment in the next session in the firm belief that this jury-trial amendment accomplishes nothing; that it does not at all help the advocates of civil rights. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question I will say that I have been on my feet for the past 17 hours, and I still feel pretty good. But I agree that it has been a long, tough session. But even though it has been a long, tough session, I do not think we ought to quit now and pass a bill that the Senator and I both feel is unconstitutional. I think we should refer it to the committee, which I tried to do the other night, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. But I think this bill should not be passed at this session. I believe the Senator would prefer that it not be passed; but if it is passed, of course I should be delighted to have the Senator offer an amendment to correct the unconstitutional portion of it when we return in January. But I really do not see why we should have to pass an unconstitutional piece of legislation if we can avoid it. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for another question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. This question is a little different from the one I asked before. I am wondering if the Senator from South Carolina would cooperate with me in enabling me to pass a bill which does not involve any constitutional question. The Senate passed the bill without any opposition at all, and the House has returned it to the Senate with an amendment. I should like to move that the House amendment be concurred in by the Senate, and thus get the bill disposed of. Mr. THURMOND. If the Senator will ask unanimous consent for me to yield to him on condition that I can retain the floor, and, further, that I shall not be charged with a second speech when I resume the discussion of the present subject— The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Wyoming ask unanimous consent based on those conditions? Mr. O’MAHONEY. I do, Mr. President. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator from Wyoming this question: This is not a civil-rights bill, as I understand, is it? Mr. O’MAHONEY. No; it is not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Wyoming? The Chair hears none. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Mr. O’Mahoney, the “Approval of Contract with the Casper–Alcova Irrigation District, Wyoming,” is dealt with, as is a “Message from the House” and the “Enrolled Bills and Joint Resolution Signed.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina may proceed. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was speaking a few moments ago about the States and the Federal Government. I should like to remind the people of this country that we had States before we had a union, and that the only power the Federal Government had and the only power the Union had was the power delegated by the States in Philadelphia in 1787 and in the amendments to the Constitution since that time. All other powers which have not been delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States or to the people. I think the bill which is under consideration is unconstitutional. I think it is invalid. I think we are doing a useless thing. The proponents of the bill who feel that they are helping people, in my judgment, are going to find that there is just a lot of lost motion involved, because I do not believe the Supreme Court will hold this bill constitutional. I do not see how it could hold it constitutional. This compromise bill which came from the House leaves it entirely up to a Federal judge to say whether or not he is going to give a man a jury trial. That is not what our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. This bill provides that a judge shall decide whether he will grant a jury trial. Suppose he decides he will not grant a jury trial and then tries the defendant. Suppose he decides that the man ought to be imprisoned for more than 45 days or should pay a fine of more than $300. Then the case must be tried all over again. That is another reason why I think the bill is unconstitutional. When we once try a man we put him in double jeopardy by trying him again. So I think we are doing a useless thing here to pass a bill to provide that a judge can try a man and then, if he imposes above a certain sentence, the man can ask for a jury trial and then a jury can try the man. He would be tried twice. That is not only unconstitutional, it is also unfair, because if a judge tries the man himself and fines him more than $300 or sentence him to be imprisoned more than 45 days, then there is a trial ''de novo'', as they call it. But the judge’s finding of guilt is bound to influence the jury when the jury tries him a second time. It is my opinion that the man can plead double jeopardy. The distinguished Presiding Officer was a distinguished judge in Texas. Any lawyer knows that we cannot try a man more than once for the same offense. The bill coming from the House would allow the man to be tried twice. Mr. President, I want the American people to know what they are getting in this bill. They are getting a bill under which a judge can try a man and a jury can then try the same man. It is unconstitutional, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think it is extremely unfair, because the judge has already expressed his opinion, and if he is the judge who tries the case a second time he would be bound to show his feelings during the trial. Even if he did not show his feelings during the trial, in my opinion, his feelings would enter into the sentence after the trial. Mr. President, there are many things in this bill. I am not against civil rights, and I am not against voting. As I have said, the finest civil rights are those in the Bill of Rights. I am for genuine civil rights, not this so-called political civil rights. Both national parties that are pushing civil rights bills, this right to vote and other bills, are not doing it because they love the Negro. The southern white man does more for the Negro than any other man in any part of the country. This bill is motivated purely by politics. It is a political bill. We might as well face the facts as they are. Both parties are trying to play to get the Negro vote, and, in some States, if the Negroes vote as a bloc, which they should not do, they are herded to the polls like sheep and voted. If they vote as individual citizens, which they should, this would not occur. But for some reason, both parties think that they are going to vote as a bloc. I do not know how a few leaders do it, or just how it is done. But it is unfortunate, and it is unfair to the Negro, because it takes him out of the category of an individual. It takes away his dignity. It takes away his sanctity as an individual, in which he can take pride in himself, his accomplishments and his race and not be led around like a bull with a ring in his nose. But that is the feeling of both parties in this country. They think they can vote the Negroes in a bloc, and they are making this play on these civil rights bills, so-called. They are not civil rights bills. They are so-called civil rights bills. The politicians are pushing these so-called civil rights bills to make a play and try to get the vote of the Negroes in certain doubtful States. I have some good friends who are Negroes. I have helped many of them. I have represented them in lawsuits. I have loaned them money. I value the friendship of many Negroes, and I hate to see them treated like they are being treated. I hope that their real leaders, their genuine leaders, who are sincerely interested in them, will wake up some day and inform the members of their race just what is going on. Mr. President, there is no need in the world to pass this bill. In the wee hours last night, when most Senators were sleeping, I was here talking, and after I had the Library of Congress, Legislative Section, prepare for me, and I put into the {{sc|Record}} at that time, statutes which provide voting rights in all the States of the Nation. The {{sc|Congressional Record}} of last night contains those statutes of all the States from Alabama to Wyoming. In every one of the States of the Nation there are statutes that protect the right to vote. There is not a single one of the 48 States that does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. Why does the Federal Government have to have this bill passed? Is it not practically an insult to the States? It is. “We need it. The States will not enforce their laws?” If that be the case, all the Government has to do is to enforce the Federal statute I referred to today. Title 18, section 594, is the number of that Federal statute, which provides punishment for anyone who intimidates, coerces, or threatens any person for interfering with any other person in voting. That statute is as clear as a crystal. It provides for a fine of $1,000, or punishment of 1 year in prison, for anyone who interferes with the right of another citizen to vote. So, if there is anybody in this country today who is prevented from voting, all he has to do is to report it to the district attorney in his State, of if he prefers, to write the Justice Department. He can take that course, and action can be taken under that statute which is already on the books. Why put another statute on the books? Why put another statute which the Supreme Court will very probably hold to be unconstitutional? I do not know what the Supreme Court will hold. I do not like to take any chances with the Supreme Court. At any rate, the Constitution of the United States is clear, the wording is simple. Any seventh-grade child can read article III., section 2, of the Constitution of the United States and see that any citizen charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. He can also read the sixth amendment to the Constitution, one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and see that any man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It is very difficult to understand why the Congress, which is supposed to be composed of the brightest intellects in the country, or some of the brightest intellects, would pass a bill of this kind. Yet, if the Congress passes such a bill, this so-called compromise bill on voting rights, it will certainly amaze me if the Supreme Court does not hold it to be unconstitutional. I shall be badly disappointed if the Congress passes it. Of course, under the pressure of different organizations, left-wing organization, ADA and NAACP, both parties are dancing like jitterbugs on the civil-rights question, because they want to carry the doubtful States where the Negroes, although only a small percentage, if they vote in a bloc, can swing a State. I think it will be a great pity if the Congress passes this bill. I hate to see it pass such an unnecessary bill. It seems to me that every Representative in Congress and every Senator is practically insulting his home State if he votes for this bill. He is practically saying to the governor of his State and the legislators of his State, “Although you have bills to protect voting rights, we have no confidence in you, and although we have one Federal law, we are going to pass another Federal law, and ram it down your throats whether or not you want it.” I think it is almost an insult to the States. I suggest that they write the governors and see how many of them want this bill passed. I am wondering how many Senators in this body and how many House members have checked with the governors to find out if they want this unconstitutional monstrosity passed by the Congress. I do not believe 10 percent of the governors of the Nation would say, “We are weaklings, and we want you to pass a strong civil-rights bill because we do not have the courage to do it. We do not have the courage to protect our people.” As a matter of fact, Mr. President, the States already have laws on that subject, and I have read them into the {{sc|Record}}. The voting-rights statutes of the States have been read into the {{sc|Congressional Record}}, in the case of every State of the Union. Those who read the {{sc|Congressional Record}} will find them set forth there. Mr. President, if any Senator, on either side of the aisle, can state why it is necessary to enact another Federal law to protect the right to vote, I should like to have him do so, provided I am able to yield for that purpose without losing the floor and without having the remarks I make after yielding for that purpose counted as a second speech by me. I challenge any Senator on either side of the aisle to answer this question: Why is another Federal law needed in order to protect the right to vote, when there is already on the statute books section 594, which reads, in part, as follows: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose.}} In other words, one who intimidates, threatens, or coerces a voter, or even attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce him, may, under the provisions of this statute, be prosecuted. He may be prosecuted, not only if his purpose is to interfere with the right of such other person to vote, but also if his purpose is to interfere as to the person for whom such other person may wish to vote. Mr. President, are there teeth in this statute? There certainly are. This statute provides that anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, or attempts to interfere with his voting for whomever he wishes to vote for, can be prosecuted in a Federal court and can be fined $1,000 or sentenced to a prison term of 1 year. Do not those provisions constitute teeth and strength in the existing law? Of course they do. If there is in the United States, today, any person who is having any trouble in exercising his voting right, again I say that all he has to do is contact the Department of Justice or the district attorney in his home State, and action can be taken under this Federal law to punish any person who interferes with his right to vote. Inasmuch as section 594 is an existing Federal statute on that subject, why is it necessary to enact another Federal statute dealing with the right to vote? It would be absolutely useless, unnecessary, and futile to enact another Federal statute on that subject; it would be a great mistake to do so, especially in view of the fact that such a statute would be unconstitutional. Mr. President, please understand that I do not even concede that the Federal Government has a right to enter this field. Instead, I believe that these matters should be handled by the respective States. However, the Federal Government is already in this field—under the provisions of section 594, by means of which a person can be fined as much as $1,000 or put in jail for as long as one year, if her tries to interfere with the right of someone else to vote. Since the Federal Government already is in this field, why should another Federal law on the same subject be enacted? Mr. President, every day that passes, the Federal Government, here in Washington, D. C., is whittling away the rights of the States. It hurts me to see the Federal Government invade fields which are reserved to the States. I deeply regret that a bigger and more powerful Federal Government is being built up in Washington, D. C. This Central Government has become tremendously top-heavy. I should like to see the States have more power. Since World War II., the Communists have taken over approximately 17 countries. In doing so, they did not invade by means of troops using bayonets and tanks; those countries were not taken over in that way by the Communists. Instead, the Communists proceeded by way of infiltration. Poland was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Poles. Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Czechs. China was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Chinese. The Communists have been able to infiltrate into the central governments; they have been able to worm their way into the police systems, and then into the election systems. Then, before one could realize it, the countries were taken over by the Communists. Mr. President, why have the Communists been able to take over those countries? Since the end of World War II., they have been able to take over 17 countries, with populations totaling between 600 million and 800 million. The Communists have been able to do that because each of those countries has had a strong central government; and when the Communists obtained control of that central government, they were able to take over control of the entire country. Mr. President, the more we in the United States build up power in a strong central government, the more risk we run from the standpoint of subversive activities and infiltration. If the people of the United States have the vision to keep the 48 States strong—each with its own election laws and its own police system—there will be no way by means of which the United States can be taken over by subversion. But if more and more power is given to our Central Government, after a while the States will be nothing but territories, and will not have any power. Mr. President, the so-called civil-rights bill which the Congress is about to pass would simply take power a way from the States and would give it to the Federal Government. A Senator might say, “I should vote for the bill because it will help me in the elections.” Mr. President, Senators had better begin to think more about the welfare and safety of their country, and less about the elections. Mr. President, I am convinced that we must protect the States. The Constitution now protects them; but the Supreme Court and the Congress and the executive branch of the Government have been taking steps—by handing down decisions, passing laws, and issuing regulations and edicts—which violate the rights of the States and take away from the States the power they have. Mr. President, this development cannot continue to occur, if our country is to be safe. I am disturbed for the safety of my country. I am a brigadier general in the Army Reserve and if our country becomes engaged in an armed conflict, I am ready to serve. But we must keep our country stronger, or we shall find it engaged in conflict. One of the ways to weaken it is to weaken the States, as we are doing today, and to keep taking away the powers of the States and building up a powerful Central Government in Washington. It is the greatest mistake in the world. It was not contemplated when our Constitution was written. Our forefathers decided they would delegate a few powers to the Federal Government, and they spelled them out in the Constitution. All one has to do is to get the Constitution and read it. It spells out just what powers the Congress has, what powers the Federal Government has, but all other powers are reserved to the States and to the people thereof. At the rate we are going now, we will not have any States after a while. The Federal Government will have all the power. Mr. President, some time ago I read a book by a man by the name of James Jackson Kilpatrick, of Richmond, Va., printed by the Henry Regner Co., of Chicago, entitled “The Sovereign States.” I wish every American could read this book. I am going to read some excerpts from it today. I should like to have Senators listen to some of the passages in this book. This man is a great writer, a true patriot, and a great American. First, I am going to read a passage by John C. Calhoun, one of the five all-time great Senators, recently selected to have his portrait placed in the Senate reception room. John C. Calhoun, I think, is one of the greatest men this country has produced. I nominated him to be selected to have his portrait placed here, and I am proud the committee selected it. He was a man who had keen vision and a proper conception of the Constitution. There is one page in the beginning of the book by him that I want to read; it is very short. This is what he says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|The great and leading principle is, that the General Government emanated from the people of the several States, forming distinct political communities, and acting in their separate and sovereign capacity, and not from all of the people forming one aggregate political community; that the Constitution of the United States is, in fact, a compact, to which each State is a party, in the character already described; and that the several States, or parties, have a right to judge of its infractions; and in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of power not delegated, they have the right, in the last resort, to use the language of the Virginia resolutions, “to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining, within their respective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.”}} {{smaller block|This right of interposition, thus solemnly asserted by the State of Virginia, be it called what it may—state right, veto, nullification, or by any other name—I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions.}} {{right|{{sm|{{sc|John C. Calhoun}}}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Fort Hill}}, ''July 26, 1831''}}.|1em}} This was John C. Calhoun. He wrote that at Fort Hill, and if any Senators want to know where it is, it is at Simpson College. In fact, his home was at the college. Mr. President, my statement was that Fort Hill is at Simpson College in South Carolina. Of course, that is the greatest college in the United States. This book on the sovereign State was written, as I have said, by James J. Kilpatrick. First, I want to take up his introduction, and then I want to present some excerpts from the book: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Introduction}}}}}} {{smaller block|Among the more melancholy aspects of the genteel world we live in is a slow decline in the enjoyment that men once found in the combat of ideas, free and unrestrained. Competition of any sort, indeed, seems to be regarded these days, in our schools and elsewhere, as somehow not in very good taste. Under the curious doctrines of the Fair Trade Act, vigorous salesmanship is unfair, and retailers are enjoined against discommoding their fellows. Mr. Stevenson’s criticism of the administration’s foreign policy, during the last presidential campaign, was not that the policies were so very wrong: they were not bipartisan. With a few robust exceptions, our writers paint in pastels; our political scholars write a sort of ruffled-sleeve, harpsichord prose. We duel with soft pillows, or with buttoned foils; our ideas have lace on them; we are importuned to steer, with moderation, down the middle of the road.}} {{smaller block|These chamber music proprieties I acknowledge, simply to say, now, that the essay which follows should not be misunderstood. May it please the court, this is not a work of history; it is a work of advocacy. The intention is not primarily to inform, but to exhort. The aim is not to be objective; it is to be partisan.}} {{smaller block|I plead the cause of States rights.}} {{smaller block|My thesis is that our Union is a Union of States; that the meaning of this Union has been obscured, that its inherent value has been debased and all but lost.}} {{smaller block|I hold this truth to be self-evident: That government is least evil when it is closest to the people. I submit that when effective control of government moves away from the people, it becomes a greater evil, a greater restraint upon liberty.}} {{smaller block|My object is not to prove that the powers and functions of government have grown steadily more centralized, more remote from the people, for that proposition requires no proof; it requires only that one open one’s eyes. Rather, my intention is to plead that the process of consolidation first be halted, then reversed, toward the end that our Federal Government may be strictly limited to its constitutional functions and the States may again be encouraged to look after their own affairs, for good or ill.}} {{smaller block|A long time ago, the geometric mind of Edmund Pendleton offered a theorem. The State and Federal Governments, he said, must follow the path of parallel lines. Others have conceived the relationship in terms of spheres, separate but touching. The idea, when all this began, was that neither authority would encroach upon the other; and in the beginning, it was more feared that the States would usurp Federal powers than the other way around.}} {{smaller block|Now the rights and powers of the States are being obliterated. The encroachments of the Federal Government have widened its road to a highway and narrowed the road of the States to a footpath. Having deceptively added a dimension to the Federal line, the broad constructionists declare their faithful adherence to the plans of the original draftsmen. Soon, a geometry unknown to Pendleton can proclaim the apparent miracle of parallels that meet this side of infinity.}} {{smaller block|I do not know that the sovereign powers of the States may be regained at all. Justice Salmon P. Chase once remarked, with great satisfaction, that State sovereignty died at Appomattox. But I do most earnestly believe that an effort must be made to regain these powers. The alternative is for American Government to grow steadily more centralized, steadily more remote from the people, steadily more monolithic and despotic.}} {{smaller block|Only the States themselves can make the effort; which is to say, only the people of the States. Only if the citizens of Virginia, as Virginians; or of Texas, as Texans; or of Iowa, as Iowans, insist upon a strict obedience to the spirit of the 10th amendment, can the Federal juggernaut be slowed. Only if the people evidence a determination once more to do for themselves can the essential vitality of a responsible and resourceful society be restored.}} {{smaller block|I do not despair. So long as the I-beams and rafters of the Constitution remain undisturbed, the ravages of Federal encroachment may be repaired. A latent yearning for personal liberty, an inherited resentment against the authoritarian state, a drowsing spirit of independence—these may yet be awakened.}} {{smaller block|But again, the States, as States, will have to do it.}} {{smaller block|It will not be easy. In many influential quarters, it will not be popular. It is a sweet narcotic that centralists sell.}} {{smaller block|Yet there is high example to be found in what the States have done before to preserve their identity. They have not always been spineless. In times past they have resisted, now successfully, now unsuccessfully; but even in their failures, something has been gained merely in the assertion of State convictions.}} {{smaller block|My purpose here is first to examine the bases of State sovereignty; then to follow the State and Federal relationship from its beginnings under the Articles of Confederation through its refinement in the Constitution; next to review some of the comment on the role the States were expected to play. The place of the States scarcely had been fixed, it will be submitted, before advocates of consolidation began to whittle it down—first in the ''Chisholm'' case, which led to the 11th amendment, and more memorably in the Alien and Sedition Acts, which led to the “Doctrine of ’98” and the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of that year. It is proposed to follow this doctrine of the States’ “right to interpose,” in its various forms and applications down through the years, with particular emphasis upon the dangers of judicial encroachment and the need for State resistance against it. Finally, I have in mind to marshal some of the evidence which supports the case for the South in its immediate conflict with Federal authority, and to review other recent events that seem to me usurpations of the States’ reserved powers.}} {{smaller block|So much, then for the plan of this book. The political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall will not care much for it.}} {{right|{{sm|J. J. K}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Richmond, Va.}}, ''September 1956''.|1em}} That was the introduction to the book The Sovereign States, by James J. Kilpatrick. James J. Kilpatrick is one of the greatest editors in the Nation today. I will read certain excerpts from the book, beginning on page 3. First I will read a quotation opposite page 3: {{smaller block|The States within the limitations of their powers not granted, or, in the language of the 10th amendment, “reserved,” are as independent of the General Government as the General Government, within its sphere, is independent of the States. (Justice Samuel Nelson, ''Collector'' v. ''Day'' (1871).)}} Mr. Kilpatrick has done a fine job and rendered a great service to this country in writing this book: {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to here yield to the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, for a question. Mr. LONG. Did I correctly understand the Senator to make the statement that, according to the preface or introduction to the book, the book would be displeasing to those who agreed with Alexander Hamilton, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, the forerunner of the American Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. The editor said that the political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall would not care much for the book. Alexander Hamilton was a great American, but his philosophy was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. They were both great Americans, but Alexander Hamilton believed more in the theory of a strong Central Government, with the power residing in Washington. Thomas Jefferson’s idea was that the power should remain with the States, and that only so much power should be given to the Federal Government as was necessary to perform its functions as delineated in the Constitution. The Senator has probably read many books about Hamilton. In one of such books his philosophy is described in this way: {{smaller block|Speaking of education, Alexander Hamilton’s thought was to select some of the brightest young men and educate them, to make them leaders. Thomas Jefferaon’s philosophy was to give all an opportunity, and let the leaders rise where they would.}} So, when Kilpatrick wrote this statement I am confident that he was contrasting the philosophy of Hamilton more or less with that of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton was a very able man, one of the greatest Americans this country has produced; but his philosophy, as the Senator well knows from studying his life and history, was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it the view of the Senator that Alexander Hamilton would ever for a moment have approved of any proposal whereby an American accused of a crime would have been denied the right to present his case before a jury of impartial people who would hear the case, judge the evidence, and find him guilty or innocent? Mr. THURMOND. In reply, I will say no. I think Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both would have approved of trial by jury. They were both delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and they both rendered magnificent service in many ways. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, if the Senator will further yield, I believe he will find that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, did the Senator yield for a question or a statemen? Mr. LONG. The Senator yielded for a question. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the Senator from Louisiana for a question. The Senator is correct about Thomas Jefferson. I had in mind Madison. Mr. LONG. Does not the Senator realize that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention? The Senator is perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the convention which adopted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. Is not, the Senator perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of those who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson was the American Ambassador to France at the time the Constitution was drafted. Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Thomas Jefferson was Ambassador to France, but Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York State, and he signed the Constitution. In fact, he was the only delegate from New York State who signed the Constitution. When I spoke a few minutes ago about Jefferson, I was thinking about Madison. Madison signed the Constitution, as did Blair. Both were from Virginia. George Washington presided over the Convention. Mr. LONG. Is there any doubt in the Senator’s mind that, so far as Alexander Hamilton was concerned, he would never for a moment have contested the right of any citizen to be tried before a jury if he were accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I agree. If he had taken any other position, he would not have signed the Constitution. As I have stated, Alexander Hamilton was the only delegate from the State of New York who signed the Constitution as representing the State of New York. In the original Constitution, article III, section 2, provided for jury trial. Mr. LONG. Is it not, therefore, true that insofar as the right of a citizen to be tried by jury for a crime is concerned, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would have agreed 100 percent that the freedoms guaranteed Americans under their form of government included the right to be tried by a jury of their own neighbors, in the area where the crime was committed, in the event they were accused of committing a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I can yield only for a question. I shall be glad to express myself after the Senator has concluded. Let the Senator ask any question he wishes. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to state that, although the book from which the Senator is reading may not reflect the views of Alexander Hamilton, it is nevertheless correct to state that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would both have agreed that anyone accused of a crime should have the right to be tried before a jury of his neighbors? Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree. In my judgment, if Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were living today, and both were Members of the Senate, both would be fighting for the right to a jury trial, as provided in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to say that so far as we can determine there has never been a man who served in this body, and who was regarded as a great statesman, who has ever at any time advocated that American citizens should be denied their right to be tried by a jury in the event they were accused of committing a crime against the United States or against a State? Mr. THURMOND. I think the able Senator is eminently correct. I do not know of a great man in our history, any man whom I would consider great, whose name is on the lips of the people—I cannot think of a single one in our history who would take a position in opposition to jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Scott}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from Louisiana? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to paraphrase more or less the words of Shakespeare, that those American politicians who have fought against the freedom of Americans to be tried by a jury when accused of a crime have been politicians who more or less strutted and strutted their brief hour on the stage to be heard from no more? Mr. THURMOND. I do not think any man who takes a stand against giving a person a jury trial will be long remembered after he has gone or when his record is searched and it is found that he opposed a jury trial. I think we would immediately call for a reappraisal of his whole life in the event he had been considered a great man previous to that time. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that men like George Norris, William Borah, and Robert M. La Follette, who fought through the years for the right of trial by jury, have statues standing in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. In fact, there is a quotation from George Norris which I read last night. If I can put my hand on it I should like to read it to the Senator from Louisiana. I have never read a stronger statement in behalf of a jury trial. He said that in all cases a man should have a jury trial. The distinguished Senator from Virginia [Mr. {{sc|Byrd}}] and the distinguished Senator from Mississippi [Mr. {{sc|Eastland}}] and I introduced a bill in March to provide the very type of jury trial which Senator Norris recommended. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. The Senator from South Carolina having made a great study of all these matters involving jury trials, the freedom of Americans, and States rights, can he now name from memory a single one of those Senators who made a fight down through the years to deny American citizens of the right of trial by jury? Mr. THURMOND. I could not name a single man whom I considered a great man or a great Senator who opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator recall the names of any Americans who have served in this body and who have made a fight against the right of a man accused of a crime to be tried by a jury? Can the Senator offhand recall the name of any such person? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot recall the name of any American of any stature within my recollection who has opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator Borah’s statue is just outside the main entrance of the Senate Chamber, immediately outside the door? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. I see it every time I go through the door. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator William E. Borah, a great constitutional lawyer, even though he came from a very small Western State, population considered, was seriously considered by the Republican Party as its nominee for the Presidency of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. I have been told that. I did not know the Senator personally; only through reputation. But I know he was a great American. He declared on April 8, 1930: {{smaller block|I am not contending here that labor organizations can at any time employ threats, force, or violence or intimidation. They must keep within the law—}} He was referring there to jury trials in labor cases. I have a long report including a speech by Senator Norris on May 2, 1930. I read it last night— Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question at that point? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that those who oppose the right of jury trials are basically those who do not believe in the freedoms that Americans enjoy under the Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. I certainly agree with the Senator. I think the jury trial is one of the greatest freedoms we have. I look upon it as the heart of the Bill of Rights. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? MT. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that persons who fear that juries may not convict guilty persons are those who really have very little confidence in the determination of people to uphold free government? Mr. THURMOND. It seems to me they could not have much confidence in human nature; otherwise they would favor jury trials. To be tried by a man’s neighbors, his peers, his fellow men, is the fairest way a man could be tried. I sat on the bench for 8 years and tried many cases, but I always felt much better about it when a jury passed on the question. I watched closely the verdicts of juries. I was deeply impressed. I feel that juries come nearer to meting out justice to criminals than it can be done in any other way. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Recognizing the fact that it is possible for a jury to turn a guilty person free, is it not also true that the freedoms which Americans enjoy under their Constitution were calculated in such fashion as to express the philosophy that it is better to turn 9 guilty men free than to send 1 innocent man to the penitentiary or to his death? Mr. THURMOND. I never did go on the theory of nine guilty ones being turned loose. There is no doubt that there is a common saying to that effect. If I had to make a decision as to whether I would turn 9 guilty ones loose, or put 1 innocent man in prison, I would turn the 9 loose. I think that would be the thinking and the feeling of the average American. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Does not this logic become conclusively clear when we contemplate for a moment a capital punishment case where it is possible to put an innocent man to death? In such a situation, would it not be better for the court to turn 9 culprits loose rather than to kill 1 innocent man? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. There is no question about it. Some juries make mistakes. Anybody in any kind of work makes mistakes. Everybody has weaknesses and there are bound to be errors. Judges make mistakes. Of course, often a judge’s philosophy is different. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that anyone can make mistakes, is it not somewhat better that the scales of justice should be weighted a little in favor of finding a person innocent when there is a considerable doubt as to whether the person is innocent or guilty? Mr. THURMOND. Our law is based on the presumption that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a common legal principle that any lawyer knows about who has practiced any criminal law. I do not know precisely what the Senator had in mind on that, though, for this reason: I do not think if a man is given a jury trial, a jury necessarily lets him go free. I think a jury is going to do what it thinks is right unless it is biased, or has been approached in some way, or influenced in some way. Of course, that happens sometimes. It does not happen often, but I think it does happen sometimes. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Can the Senator imagine a judge who issues an order ordering the entire world to comply with his injunction as being as fair and impartial as a jury before which a case involving a violation of his order should be tried? Mr. THURMOND. When a judge hears a contempt case he is the legislator, he is the prosecutor, he is the judge, and he is the jury. If I were a judge and if such a law as is here proposed were on the books, if I were back on the bench, and if I had to act under this type law, I would submit it to the jury anyway. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that it is contemplated that a judge makes a law by issuing the injunction and then cites the individuals whom he cares to cite, can the Senator think of anything any more inappropriate than the judge who makes the law, addressed to individuals, should be the same person to try the same individuals for violating his own order? Does the Senator not believe that any judge worthy of the name would at least want to have a jury to prove that justice is being done to people who violated his own order? Mr. THURMOND. I think the Senator is eminently correct. It is unfortunate that a judge who issues an order of contempt has to try the case, because he has already made up his mind to a certain degree. Of course, that might be removed. But still he has made up his mind, or he would not issue the order. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that a person who is responsible for issuing the edict and commanding people to do certain things at his discretion should be the last person to make the final decision on who should be punished for not obeying his order? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. In fact, this is known as injunction-made law. That is what it is. It is injunction-made law, and it is bad law. It is much better to have a jury trial. That is the American way of doing things. That is one of the grievances complained of by those who signed the Declaration of Independence, as I have brought out, namely, that in a great many cases they were denied jury trials. Provisions for jury trial are embodied in several places in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so there is no question about the whole intent of our judicial system. Our administration of justice has been based upon jury trials. I think it is one of the most fundamental principles embodied in our type of government. If this so-called compromise amendment were to go a little bit further, it would sound more like a Communist amendment. I do not believe I read what Senator Norris said about jury trial. He said: {{smaller block|I wonder if a suffering people, whose forefathers fought for liberty, are going to give up the idea of it in this day and age, in this civilized day, and are going to submit to injunction-made law.}} He was wondering whether they were going to submit to it. {{c|{{x-smaller|1. THE BEGINNINGS}}}} {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} {{smaller block|This was on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, June 12, 1788, in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill in Richmond. The Virginia Convention had been grappling for 10 days with the new Constitution, and Edmund Pendleton, aging and crippled, had been sitting in dignified silence for as long as he could stand it. Patrick Henry, who was a hard man to live with at any time, was being especially difficult. Once before, on the 5th, Pendleton bad attempted to soothe him, but Henry was not to be soothed.}} {{smaller block|The State and Federal Governments would be at war with one another, Henry had predicted, and the State governments ultimately would be destroyed and consolidated into the General Government. One by one their powers would be snatched from them. A rapacious Federal authority, ever seeking to expand its grasp, could not be confined by the States.}} {{smaller block|“Notwithstanding what the worthy gentleman said,” remarked Mr. Pendleton with some warmth, for there were times when he regarded Mr. Henry as neither worthy nor a gentleman. “I believe I am still correct, and insist that, if each power is confined within its proper bounds, and to its proper objects, an interference can never happen. Being for two different purposes, as long as they are limited to the different objects, they can no more clash than two parallel lines can meet. * * *”}} {{smaller block|They were big ifs that Edmund Pendleton, a judicious man, here used as qualifications. If the State and Federal Governments were each confined within its proper bounds, be said, the clash could never come. But the Federal Government could not be kept confined, even as Henry feared, and the clash did come. It continues to this day. Mr. Pendleton’s geometry was fine, but his powers of prophecy (for be believed that each government could be kept in check) were sadly in error.}} {{smaller block|To understand how the parallel lines of State and Federal powers have turned awry, it is necessary to look back at the period before these lines were drawn. The acts of ratification by Virginia and her neighbors were acts of sovereign States. At stake was their consent to a written constitution. How, it may be inquired, did they come to be sovereign States? What is this concept of State sovereignty?}} {{smaller block|It would be possible, in any such review, to go back to the great roots of Runnymede, but it will suffice to begin much later, in the turbulent summer of 1776. The startling commitments of Lexington and Concord were behind us then; the bitter trials of White Plains, Vincennes, Camden, and Yorktown still lay ahead. March and April and May had passed—a time of bringing forth of newness, of fresh hope—and great human events had run their course. Now, in June, a resurgent people made the solemn decision to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another. Thus Jefferson’s draft began, thus the Continental Congress adopted it at Philadelphia; from this moment Americans unborn were to date the years of their independence.}} {{smaller block|The eloquent beginning of the Declaration—the assertion of truths self-evident and rights beyond alienation—is well known: It is a towering irony that Jefferson, whose convictions were cemented in the inequality of man, should have his precise phrase corrupted by the levelers of a bulldozer society. The Declaration’s beginning is too much recited and too little read.}} {{smaller block|What counts, for our present purpose, is not the first paragraph, but the last. Let us inquire, What, precisely, was it that we declared ourselves to be that Fourth of July? Hitherto there had been colonies subject to the King. That form of government would now be abolished. We would now solemnly publish and declare to a candid world—what? That the people of the colonies had formed a free and independent nation? By no means. Or that they were henceforth a free and independent people? Still no.}} {{smaller block|This was the declaration: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Not one State, or one Nation, but in the plural—States; and again, in the next breath, so this multiple birth could not be misunderstood, “that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.”}} {{smaller block|It had opened, this Declaration, as an enunciation of what often are termed the “human rights,” but it concluded, in the plainest terms, as a pronouncement of political powers—the political powers of newly created States. And these powers of war and peace, these powers of alliance and commerce, were published not as the powers of a national government, but as powers henceforth asserted by 13 free and independent states.}} {{smaller block|To be sure, the States were united. Their representatives styled themselves Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, but it was not the spokesmen of a nation who gathered in parliament. These were States in Congress. “One out of many,” it is said. In a sense, yes. But the many remained—separate States, individual entities, each possessed, from that moment, of sovereign rights and powers.}} {{smaller block|Certainly Jefferson so understood our creation. “The several States,” he was to write much later, “were, from their first establishment, separate and distinct societies, dependent on no other society of men whatever.”}} {{smaller block|So Mr. Justice Samuel Chase comprehended it: He considered the Declaration of Independence, “as a declaration, not that the United Colonies Jointly, in a collective capacity, were independent States, etc., but that each of them was a sovereign and independent State, that is, that each of them had a right to govern itself by its own authority, and its own laws without any control from any other power on earth.” From the Fourth of July, said Chase, “the American States were ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' in the possession and actual exercise of all the rights of independent governments. * * * I have ever considered it as the established doctrine of the United States, that their independence originated from, and commenced with, the declaration of Congress, on the Fourth of July 1776; and that no other period can be fixed on for its commencement; and that all laws made by the legislatures of the several States, after the Declaration of Independence, were the laws of sovereign and independent governments.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, the sage and cool-minded Mr. Justice Cushing: “The several States which composed this Union * * * became entitled, from the time when they declared themselves independent, to all the rights and powers of sovereign States.”}} {{smaller block|Even Marshall himself had no doubts: In the beginning, “we were divided into independent States, united for some purposes, but in most respects sovereign.” The lines which separate the States, he later remarked, were too clear ever to be misunderstood.}} {{smaller block|And for a contemporary authority, it is necessary only to turn to Mr. Justice Frankfurter, who some years ago fell to discussing the dual powers of taxation preserved under the Constitution: “The States,” he said, “after they formed the Union”—not the people, but the States, “continued to have the same range of taxing power which they had before, barring only duties affecting exports, imports, and on tonnage.” Regrettably, Mr. Justice Frankfurter appears in more recent times to have lost his concept of States forming a Union.}} {{smaller block|It is no matter. Evidence of the States’ individual sovereignty is abundantly available. Consider for example, the powers asserted on the part of each State in the Declaration “to levy War, conclude Peace, and contract Alliances.” Surely these are sovereign powers. The States exercised them, as States, in the Revolutionary War. But it is of value to note that New York also very nearly exercised her war powers to enter into formal hostilities with the State of Vermont. Tensions reached so grave a point that Massachusetts, in 1784, felt compelled to adopt a formal resolution of neutrality, enjoining her citizens to give “no aid or assistance to either party,” and to send “no provisions, arms, or ammunition or other necessities to a fortress or garrison” besieged by either belligerent. When New York adopted a resolution avowing her readiness to “ecur to force,”" Vermont’s Governor Chittenden (whose son was to be heard from 30 years later in another row) observed that Vermont “does not wish to enter into a war with the State of New York.” But should this unhappy contingency result, Vermont “expects that Congress and the 12 States will observe a strict neutrality, and let the contending States settle their own controversy.”}} {{smaller block|They did settle it, of course. New York and Vermont concluded a peace. The point is that no one saw anything especially remarkable in two separate sovereignties arraying themselves against each other. Vermont was then an individual political entity, as remote at law as any France or Italy. And New York, though a member of the Confederation, and hence technically required to obtain the consent of Congress before waging war, had every right to maintain a standing army for her own defense.}} {{smaller block|The status of the individual States as separate sovereign powers was recognized on higher authority than the proclamations of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is worth our while to keep in mind the first article of the treaty of September 3, 1783, by which the war of the Revolution came to an end:}} {{smaller block|“His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign, and independent States; that he treats with them as such.”}} {{smaller block|More than 5 years earlier, a treaty of amity and commerce with France had established the same sovereign status of the contracting parties. Louis XVI. treated with the 13 American States, but he recognized each of them as a separate power. And it is interesting to note that Virginia, feeling some action desirable to complete the treaty, prior to action by Congress, on June 4, 1779, undertook solemnly to ratify this treaty with France on her own. By appropriate resolution, transmitted by Governor Jefferson to the French minister at Philadelphia, the sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia declared herself individually bound by the French treaty. In terms of international law, Virginia was a nation; in terms of domestic law, she was a sovereign State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|2. THE STATE}}}} {{smaller block|To review the process by which the colonies became States is not necessarily to answer the basic question, What is a State? It is a troublesome word. The standard definition is that a State is “a political body, or body politic; any body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one government, especially one that is not subject to external control.” Chief Justice Chase, in ''Texas'' v. ''White'', put it this way: “A State, in the ordinary sense of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed.” In the Cherokee case, John Marshall described a State as “a distinct political society, separated from others, capable of managing its own affairs and governing itself.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, variously, a State is defined as a body, a community, and a distinct society. Plainly, mere boundary lines are not enough; a tract of waste and uninhabited land cannot constitute a State. Nor are people, as such, sufficient to constitute a State. James Brown Scott once offered this clear and succinct definition:}} {{smaller block|“The State is an artificial person, representing and controlled by its members, but not synonymous or identical with them. Created for a political purpose, it is a body politic. It is a distinct body, an artificial person; it has a will distinct from its members, although its exercise is controlled by them; it has rights and duties distinct from its members, but subject to being changed by them; it may hold property distinct from its members, but in trust for them; it may act separately and distinctly from them and bind them by its acts, but only insofar as it is authorized by the law of its creation, and subject to being changed by the source of that power.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the State is seen as a continuing political being, controlled by its citizens and yet controlling them. The State can be bound in ways that its own people cannot be bound; it can exercise powers that no citizen or group of citizens may exercise for themselves. The State may buy, sell, hold, grant, convey; it may tax and spend; it may sue, and if it consent, be sued; it exists to create law and to execute law, to punish crime, administer justice, regulate commerce, enter into compacts with other States. Yet there is no State until a community of human beings create a State; and no State may exist without the will and the power of human beings to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|It is this combination of will and power which lies at the essence of the State in being. This is sovereignty. In the crisp phrase of John Taylor, of Caroline, sovereignty is “the will to enact, the power to execute.” Long books have been written on the nature of sovereignty, but they boil down to those necessities: The will to make, the power to unmake.}} {{smaller block|It was this power, this will, that the people as States claimed for themselves in 1776. Henceforth, they said, we are sovereign: The State government is not sovereign, nor is any citizen by himself sovereign. By the “sovereign State” we mean us citizens, the State; we collectively, within our established boundaries; this community of people; we alone who are possessed of the power to create or to abandon.}} {{smaller block|God knows it was a great, a priceless, power these people as Stat es claimed for themselves. True, not everyone saw it that way. Mr. Justice Story, for one, never grasped the concept of States. Nor did Jackson. Albert J. Beveridge, in his biography of Marshall, refers sneeringly to the States as “these pompous sovereignties,” but in a way, Beveridge’s is perhaps a high acknowledgment of the simple truth: These infant States were sovereignties, and the people within them were proudly jealous of the fact. They saw themselves, in Blackstone’s phrase, “a supreme, irresistible, absolute, uncontrolled authority.” This, among other things, was the aim they had fought for. It cannot be imagined that they ever would have relinquished this high power of sovereignty except in the most explicit terms.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|3. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION}}}} {{smaller block|In time, the Continental Congress gave way to the Articles of Confederation. The articles merit examination with the utmost care; they are too little studied, and there is much to be learned from them.}} {{smaller block|First proposed in 1778, the articles became binding upon all the States with Maryland’s ratification in 1781. Throughout this period, as the war ran on, each of the States was individually sovereign, each wholly autonomous. Mr. Justice Iredell was to observe, in 1795, that had the individual States decided not to unite together, each would have gone its own way, because each “possessed all the powers of sovereignty, internal and external * * * as completely as any of the ancient kingdoms or republics of the world which never yet had formed, or thought of forming, any sort of Federal union whatever.”}} {{smaller block|But they did form a Federal union—a “perpetual union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.” They styled themselves, “The United States of America,” and in the very second article of their compact, they put this down so no one might miss it:}} {{smaller block|“Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”}} {{smaller block|The third article is almost equally brief, and may be quoted in less space than would be required to summarize it:}} {{smaller block|“The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.”}} {{smaller block|There will be seen, in these opening paragraphs, the genesis of constitutional provisions that were to follow in less than a decade. Here is the forerunner of the 10th amendment, with its reservation of undelegated powers to the State or to the people; here are the aims set forth of “common defense” and the “general welfare.”}} {{smaller block|The fourth article advanced other phrases that have come down to us: The free inhabitants of each State (“paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice excepted”) were to be entitled to “all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” Here, too, one finds the provision, later to be inserted substantially verbatim in article IV. of the Constitution of 1787, providing for the extradition of fugitives. Here the States mutually agreed that “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth article provided for representation of the States in Congress. There were to be no less than 2, no more than 7 delegates from each State. They would assemble on the first Monday in November of every year. In this Congress, each State cast one vote; each State paid the salary and maintenance of its own delegates. These provisions, of course, were later abandoned; but we may note that the fifth article prohibited delegates to the Congress from “holding any office under the United States for which he or another for his benefit receives any salary, fees, or emolument of any kind,” and also provided that “freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress.” Both provisions were to turn up later in article I., section 6, of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The sixth and seventh articles dealt generally with limitations upon the States in terms of foreign affairs and the waging of war. Again, many a familiar phrase leaps from this much-maligned compact of Confederation. No State, nor the Congress, was to grant a title of nobility; no two or more States were to enter into any treaty, confederation, or alliance without the consent of the other States in Congress assembled; no State was to keep vessels of war in time of peace (“except such number as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled”), nor was any State to engaged in war without the consent of Congress “unless such State be actually invaded by enemies, or * * * the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay * * *.”}} {{smaller block|The eighth article provided for defraying the expenses of war among the State “in proportion to the value of all land within each State,” and the ninth article dealt with the powers of Congress. Once more, the origin of a dozen specific phrases in our present Constitution is evident. Congress was given the “sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war.” It was to enter into treaties and alliances, establish certain courts, fix standard weights and measures, and establish post offices. But the Congress alone could do almost none of these things—it could exercise no important power—without the consent of nine of the member States.}} {{smaller block|The remaining 4 articles are of less interest and concern, although it may be noted that in 3 places, the framers of the Articles of Confederation provided that their union was a permanent union. The articles were to be inviolably observed by the States the delegates respectively represented, “and the union shall be perpetual.”}} {{c|{{x-smaller|4. WE, THE PEOPLE}}}} {{smaller block|Of course, it wasn’t perpetual at all. Before 6 years had elapsed, the States came to recognize grave defects in the Articles of Confederation. And because they were sovereign States—because they had the will to enact and the power to execute, because they who had made could unmake—they set out to do the job again.}} {{smaller block|What they made, this time, was the Constitution of the United States. So much has been {{SIC|writen|written}} of the deliberations that summer of 1787 in Philadelphia—so many critics have examined every word of the great document which came forth—that probably no new light can be shed upon it here. Yet the constitutions of most States command their citizens to recur frequently to fundamental principles and the commandment is too valuable an admonition to be passed by. There is much of interest to be found if one examines the Constitution, the debates and the commentaries of the time, in terms of the relationship there established between the States and the new Federal Government they formed.}} {{smaller block|It may be inquired, was sovereignty here surrendered in whole or in part? What powers were delegated, what powers retained?}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I do not want the Senator to strain his voice, but I do have some responsibilities as minority leader. I do not think the Senator is making any motion, but I should at least like to know what is going on in the Senate Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield for a question if the Senator has a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. My question is, Would the Senator speak up? I do not want him to strain his voice, but I should like him to speak a little louder so I shall be sure no motions are being made or anything of that sort. I do have some responsibility here. Mr. THURMOND. I suggest that the Senator move closer to me. Mr. KNOWLAND. Under the rules of the Senate, which are now being strictly enforced, both Senators being in their respective seats, and this happening to be my seat as the minority leader, I urge my request of the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. We might get unanimous consent to allow the Senator to come closer to me if he wishes. I do not think my colleagues will raise any point. There is an excellent seat here, I may say to the Senator. Mr. KNOWLAND. I am very well satisfied with the seat to which I am assigned. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I continue to read: {{smaller block|What were the functions to be performed by the States in the future? Was it ever intended that the States should be reduced to the weakling role thrust upon them in our own time? We must inquire whether this proud possession of State sovereignty, so eloquently proclaimed in 1776, so resolutely affirmed in the articles of 1781, so clearly recognized in the events of the time, somehow vanished, died, turned to dust, totally ceased to exist in the period of the next 6 years.}} {{smaller block|Now, the argument here advanced is this—it is the argument of John Taylor of Caroline and John Randolph of Roanoke—that sovereignty, like chastity, cannot be surrendered in part. This was the argument also of Calhoun: “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” This was the position, too, of the bellicose George Troup of Georgia, of Alexander H. Stephens, of Jefferson Davis. It is the position of plain commonsense: Supreme and ultimate power must be precisely that. Finality knows no degrees. In law, as in mountain climbing, there comes a point at which the pinnacle is reached; nothing higher or greater remains. And so it is with the States of the American Union. In the last resort, it is their prerogative alone (not that of Congress, not that of the Supreme Court, not that of the whole people) to make or unmake our fundamental law. The argument here is that the States, in forming a new perpetual union to replace their old perpetual union, remained in essence what they had been before: Separate, free, and independent States. They surrendered nothing to the Federal Government they created. Some of their powers they delegated; all of their sovereignty they retained.}} {{smaller block|It is keenly important that this distinction be understood. There is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign power. The power to coin money, or to levy taxes, is a sovereign power, but it is not sovereignty. Powers can be delegated, limited, expanded, or withdrawn, but it is through the exercise of sovereignty that these changes take place. Sovereignty is the moving river, sovereign powers the stone at the mill. Only while the river flows can the inanimate stone revolve. To be sure, sovereignty can be lost—it can be lost by conquest, as in war; the extent or character of sovereignty can be changed, as in the acquisition or relinquishment of territory or the annexation of new peoples; sovereignty can be divided, when two States are created of one. But properly viewed, sovereignty is cause; sovereign powers, the effect: The wind that blows; the branches that move. Sovereignty is the essence, the life spirit, the soul: And in this Republic, sovereignty remains today where it was vested in 1776, in the people. But in the people as a whole? No. In the people as States.}} {{smaller block|The delusion that sovereignty is vested in the whole people of the United States is one of the strangest misconceptions of our public life. This hallucination has been encouraged, if not directly espoused, by such eminent figures as Marshall, Story, and Andrew Jackson. It is still embraced by excessively literal and unthinking fellows who read “we the people” in the preamble to the Constitution, and cry triumphantly, “that means everybody.” It does not; it never did.}} {{smaller block|The preamble to the abandoned Articles of Confederation, it was noted, declared the articles “binding between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York,” and so forth. The preamble offered by the Convention of 1787, reads:}} {{smaller block|“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”}} {{smaller block|The opening few words were questioned repeatedly by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention of 1788. He kept asking querulously, what was meant by “we the people,” but he got no very satisfactory answer for his pains. Governor Randolph ducked the question, and Pendleton missed the point. Pendleton asked, rhetorically, “who but the people have a right to form government?” and the answer, obviously, in America, is “no one.” Then Pendleton said this:}} {{smaller block|“If the objection be, that the Union ought to be not of the people, but of the State governments, then I think the choice of the former very happy and proper. What have the State governments to do with it?”}} {{smaller block|Again, the obvious answer is, “The State governments have nothing to do with it,” but that was not the question Henry asked. There is a plain distinction between “we the States” and “we the State governments,” for States endure while governments fall. It was Madison who came closest to answering the insistent Henry. Who are the parties to the Constitution? The people, said Madison, to be sure, are the parties to it, but “not the people as composing one great body.” Rather, it is “the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” And he added:}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina when he was a judge in South Carolina? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair cannot hear. Will the Senator speak a little louder? Mr. THURMOND. From 1938 to 1946, 8 years. Mr. LANGER. The Senator was a circuit judge, was he not? Mr. THURMOND. Yes; in the highest trial court in the State. About half that time I was in the Army, overseas. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Continuing to quote from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|“Were it * * * a consolidated government, the assent of a majority of the people would be sufficient for its establishment; and, as a majority have adopted it already, we remaining States would be bound by the act of the majority, even if they unanimously reprobated it * * * But, sir, no State is bound by it, as it is, without its own consent.”}} {{smaller block|Col. Henry Lee took the same point of view in responding to Patrick Henry. Lighthorse Harry spoke as other proponents of the Constitution did, in irritation and perplexity. He could not comprehend why Henry’s question should even be asked. Obviously, the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble—the “we the people” there and then engaged in ratifying the Constitution—were we “the people of Virginia.” If the people of Virginia “do not adopt it, it will always be null and void as to us.”}} {{smaller block|Here Lee touched and tossed aside what doubtless was so clear to others that they could not understand what Henry was quibbling about. Of course, “we the people” meant what Madison and Lee found so obvious: It meant “we the people of the States.” Why argue the point? “I take this,” said Randolph testily, “to be one of the least and most trivial objections that will be made to the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|The self-evident fact, as plain as the buttons on their coats, was that the whole people, the mass of people from Georgia to New Hampshire, obviously had nothing to do with the ratification of the Constitution. The basic charter of our Union never was submitted to popular referendum, taken simultaneously among the 3 million inhabitants of the country on some Tuesday in 1788. Ratification was achieved by the people of the States, acting in their sovereign capacity not as “Americans,” for there is no “State of America,” but in their sovereign capacity as citizens of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Georgia.}} {{smaller block|This was the sovereign power that sired the new Union, breathed upon it, gave it life—the power of the people of the States, acting as States, binding themselves as States, seeking to form a more perfect union not of people, but of States. And if it be inquired, as a matter of drafting, why the preamble of the Articles of Confederation spelled out 13 States and the preamble of the Constitution referred only to “we the people,” a simple, uncomplicated explanation may be advanced: The framers of the Constitution, in the summer of 1787, had no way of knowing how many States would assent to the compact.}} {{smaller block|Suppose they .had begun the preamble, as they thought of doing, “We the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island,” etc., and the State of Rhode Island had refused to ratify? It very nearly did. It was not until May 29, 1790, by a vote of 34 to 32, that Rhode Island agreed to join a union that actually had been created with New Hampshire’s ratification nearly 2 full years before. Given a switch of two votes, Rhode Island might have remained, to this day, as foreign to the United States (in terms of international law) as any Luxembourg or Switzerland.}} {{smaller block|Some of these forebodings clearly passed through the minds of the delegates at Philadelphia. When the preamble first appears in the notes, on August 6, it reads: “We the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,” etc., “do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution.” In that form it was tentatively approved on August 7. But the preamble, in that form, never is mentioned again. When the document came back from the Committee on Style in early September, the preamble had been amended to eliminate the spelled-out names of States, and to make it read simply that “we the people” ordain and establish. The change was not haggled over. No significance was attached to it. Why arouse antagonism in New York or North Carolina (where there was opposition enough already) by presuming to speak, in the preamble, as if it were unnecessary for New York or North Carolina even to debate the matter? The tactful and prudent thing was to name no States. Only the people as States could create the Union; only the people in ratifying States would be bound, as States, by its provisions.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|5. THE STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, that was the way the compact read. It bound States—“The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between”—between whom?—“between the States so ratifying the same.” Not among people; it was “between States.” And this proposal was put forward “by the unanimous consent,” not of delegates assembled or of people gathered, but by “the unanimous consent of the States present the 17th day of September in the year of our Lord 1787 * * *.”}} {{smaller block|On the plain evidence of the instrument itself, it is therefore clear: States consented to the drafting of the Constitution; States undertook to bind themselves by its provisions. If 9 States ratified, the Constitution would bind those 9; if 10, those 10. Rhode Island had not even attended the convention; “poor, despised Rhode Island,” as Patrick Henry later was to describe her, could stay aloof if she chose. There was no thought here of people in the mass. There was thought only of people as States, and while the new Constitution would of course act directly upon people—that was to be its revolutionary change—it would reach those people only because they first were people of States.}} {{smaller block|The one essential prerequisite was for the State, as a State, to ratify; then the people of the State would become themselves subject to the Constitution. No individual human being, in his own capacity, possibly could assent to the new compact or bind himself to its provisions. Only as a citizen of Virginia or Georgia or Massachusetts could he become a citizen also of the United States.}} {{smaller block|Madison recognized this. He acknowledged in his famed Federalist 39 that ratification of the Constitution must come from the people “not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.” “Each State,” he said, in ratifying the Constitution, “is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” This fact lay at the essence of the Federal Union being formed. The States, and within them their local governments, were to be “no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The jurisdiction of the Federal Government was to extend “to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.” Even the most casual reading of the Constitution, it may be submitted, abundantly supports Madison’s comment here.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield to the able Senator from North Dakota for a question. Mr. LANGER. I should like to ask whether at any time in the history of South Carolina the courts permitted a defendant to be tried without a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In South Carolina anyone who wishes a jury may have one. There are a few instances where both sides agree to be tried without a jury, by the court. But a defendant is entitled to a jury trial in my State, as is the case in other States which follow the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. In what year was South Carolina admitted to the Union? It was one of the original colonies, was it not? Mr. THURMOND. In 1789. It was the eighth State admitted to the Union. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further for a question? Mr: THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Even at that time in South Carolina a defendant had the right to a jury trial, did he not? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. That has been the law continuously up to the present time? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. A defendant in South Carolina is always entitled to a jury trial when charged with a crime. Mr. LANGER. Is that also true in North Carolina? Mr. THURMOND. I would not attempt to speak for North Carolina, but I feel quite certain that that is a fact. I believe nine States ratified the Constitution before North Carolina did. So North Carolina came in after the Union was formed. So did Rhode Island. Rhode Island was the only State that did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The reason for that was that Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals at that time and it did not send any deputies. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it true that in every State in the United States under our Constitution a defendant has the right to a trial by jury in a criminal case? Mr. THURMOND. In every State of the United States a defendant charged with a crime has the right of trial by jury. Some persons confuse magistrate courts or minor courts; but even there, although we may not see it, there is a jury box. Most persons, unless they are lawyers, do not know that defendants are entitled to a jury trial in those courts. There is a jury box hidden somewhere. Nine out of ten do not ask for a jury trial; that is, in cases where the punishment is a fine of $100 or 30 days. But even there if a man says “Wait a minute, Mr. Recorder; I want a trial before a jury,” it must be given to him. Mr. LANGER. That is true, for example, if a man is arrested and charged with spitting on the sidewalk or with stealing one cent? Mr. THURMOND. Any crime. Mr. LANGER. In other words, trial by jury is fundamental? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct; and rightly so, because that was one of the grievances pointed out a little earlier today that our forefathers listed in the Declaration of Independence. That was one grievance charged against the King, that in many cases persons had been denied trial by jury. That is written definitely into the Constitution. The right of trial by jury was included in several places in the Bill of Rights. The sixth amendment provides that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That was because our forefathers were taking no chances on not having a jury trial assured to them under the Constitution. In the seventh amendment it is provided, also, and there is another provision, I believe, in the fifth amendment, that a man must be indicted by a grand jury before he is tried. Under the bill that came from the House a grand jury will not pass on the question at all. Under this so-called compromise, a man is taken before a judge and is tried. He is not even asked if he wants a trial by a jury. But in the usual procedure, when the Constitution is followed, a man has to be indicted by a grand jury. In my State 18 grand jurors have to agree to a true bill before a man can be brought up for trial. He has a trial before a petit jury. In Federal courts a man can be indicted by a grand jury or on information, but in State courts a man is indicted by a grand jury. But in all the history of judicial administration in this country it has been clear that the American people have been entitled to a jury trial, and it goes back even further than the Declaration of Independence. It goes back to the Magna Carta, when the citizens of England wrung from King John in the year 1215, at Runnymede, certain rights for the people. I presume you and I, Mr. President, would call them civil rights, more or less, or corresponding to our Bill of Rights. But the people wrung from King John certain rights, and one of those rights was that a man charged with a crime would be entitled to a jury trial. So, going back to the year 1215, on down to this time, our people have had a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a further question. Mr. LANGER. Is it the opinion of the Senator from South Carolina that of all the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights the very heart and very core of the 10 amendments is the right of the defendant to be tried by a jury? Mr. THURMOND. All the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights are important, but I think the trial-by-jury provision as generally spoken of is the heart of the Bill of Rights. That is the importance attached to it. It is generally spoken of as the heart of the Bill of Rights. In other words, if there should be cut out of the Bill of Rights the right of a trial by jury you have cut the heart of the Bill of Rights out; it would be excised. What is it to have freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of the press or right to petition the Government or the right to assemble, all of which are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, or to keep troops from being quartered in our homes, or all the other things guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if some tyrant, whether a Federal district judge, or any other kind of tyrant, can take a man and himself try him without a jury and put him in prison; and, of course, if a man is in prison he cannot enjoy his civil rights? Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator. We have gotten down to the very core of this entire proposal. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate his deep interest in this matter. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota has manifested an unusual interest in the right of trial by jury. He has the vision to see the importance of trial by jury and to see how this proposed bill the House has passed is attempting to bypass the Constitution and in doing so, of course, is violating the Constitution and therefore is a bill the Congress ought to kill. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. For 4 years I was attorney general of my State. Mr. THURMOND. I understand the Senator made a very distinguished record as attorney general of the State of North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. During that time, of course, I had a great deal to do with juries. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure the Senator did. Mr. LANGER. And in every single case I submitted to a court a jury trial had been waived. Mr. THURMOND. Every case the Senator tried I imagine was before a jury. Mr. LANGER. That is correct. I should like to ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina whether in his experience in South Carolina it is true that the average defendant can get better justice from a jury than he can from a judge, no matter how honest and fair the judge may be? Mr. THURMOND. Regardless of how fair and impartial the judge is or wants to be, it is my judgment from my experience on the bench for 8 years—and as I said, for about half of that time I was in the Army during World War II.—and from my practice of law before then, since 1930 when I was admitted to the bar—and after I left the Governor’s office in January 1951, I practiced until I came to the Senate—I consider that juries give fair verdicts, and I think it would be destroying the administration of justice if we should take any step to hamper or injure or impair in any way the jury system of the United States. Mr. LANGER. Again I want to thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I read further: {{smaller block|But the Constitution ought not to be read casually. Viewed from the standpoint of State and Federal relations, what does the Constitution say and do? The rubrics do not demand, before an ordinary mortal may explore the question, that he be ordained a constitutional lawyer or put on the chasuble of the bench. Our Constitution is not the property of a juridical clergy only. The laity may read it too, and with equal acuity and understanding. The terms are not ambiguous.}} {{smaller block|The first thing to note, perhaps, is that the words “State” or “States” appear no fewer than 94 times, either as proper nouns or pronominals, in the brief 6,000 words of the original 7 articles. The one theme that runs steadily through the whole of the instrument is the knitting together of States: It is a union that is being formed, and while the people are concerned for themselves and their posterity, the Constitution is to be established binding States.}} {{smaller block|Legislative powers, to begin at the beginning, are vested not in one national parliament of the people, but in a Congress of the United States. The word “Congress” was chosen with precision; it repeated and confirmed the political relationship of the preceding 11 years, when there had been first a Continental Congress and then a Congress under the Articles of Confederation.}} {{smaller block|This Congress is to consist of two Houses. The first is the House of Representatives, whose Members are to be chosen “by the people of the several States.” And here, in the very second paragraph, the framers encountered and opportunity to choose between a “national” and a “federal” characteristic: They might have established uniform national qualifications for the franchise, but they did not. Electors qualified to vote for candidates for the House of Representatives are to have “the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned—how? “Among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers.” How is this enumeration to be determined? The provision should be noted with care, for it is the first of four clauses that speaks eloquently of the plural nature of our Union: “The actual enumeration shall be made within 3 years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.” Now, the antecedent of they is not “Congress,” but “United States.” Nowhere in the whole of the Constitution or in any of the subsequent amendments is the United States an “it.” The singular never appears.}} {{smaller block|What else sheds light in the second section of article I.? We find that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” whereupon follows a rollcall of the States themselves: “Until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse 3, Massachusetts 8,” and so forth. And when vacancies happen “in the representation from any State,” the Governor thereof is to issue a writ of election.}} {{smaller block|The dignity and sovereignty of States are made still more evident in the composition of the Senate. It is to be composed “of two Senators from each State,” and whereas Representatives are required to be inhabitants of the States “in which” they shall be chosen, Senators must be inhabitants of the States “for which” they shall be chosen.}} {{smaller block|It is in section 4 that the first grant of authority to the Federal Government appears: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but”—and here the qualified concession—“the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chusing Senators.”}} {{smaller block|The delegations of power to a federal government appear most fully, of course, in section 8, but it is worth noting that not all the powers delegated to Congress are exclusive and unqualified powers. Thus, the Congress may raise and support armies, “but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.” Thus, the Congress may provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of the militia as may be employed in the service of the United States, but there is reserved “to the States respectively” the appointment of officers and the authority to train their militia according to regulation established by Congress. Thus, too, Congress may exercise Federal authority over federally owned property within the States, but how is such property to be acquired? The authority of the Congress extends only to those places “purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be,” and this applies not only to military and naval installations but also to “other needful buildings.”}} {{smaller block|Several provisions in section 9 merit attention. As a concession to the slave trade—one of the essential compromises without which the Constitution never would have come into being at all—it was provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” shall not be prohibited prior to 1808. Then follow seven paragraphs of specific restrictions upon the powers of Congress. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended; no bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed; no direct tax shall be levied except according to the census of the people as a whole; no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported “from any State;” and—again emphasizing the separateness of the member States forming the Union—“no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue of the ports of one State over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.”}} {{smaller block|In section 10, the States undertook to restrict themselves. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; no State shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver legal tender; no State shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Yet even here, the prohibitions are not without qualification. Thus, the States reserved to themselves the right to levy tariffs on imports or exports sufficient to execute their inspection laws; and though the fact is often forgotten, the States even reserved to themselves the solemn power they had claimed under the Articles of Confederation, to “engage in war,” as States, if “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Ellender}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am very curious. I ask the Senator from South Carolina whether he knows how the House of Representatives arrived at the decision to provide for a maximum of 45 days and $300 in this instance. Why did not the House of Representatives decide to make the maximum number of days 50, and why did it not choose, as the maximum amount of fine, $250 or $500? Mr. THURMOND. I should like to answer the question the distinguished Senator asked, but I cannot do so. I was not consulted about this compromise. All I know about it is that I heard the majority leader made an announcement, following the taking of action in the House of Representatives. And then I read about it in the newspaper. But I had understood—and the distinguished Senator from California [Mr. {{sc|Knowland}}] can correct me about this if I am mistaken—that there was an effort on the part of the Republicans to provide for 60 days. But, since the Senate had not voted for any provision of this sort, but had voted only for a straight jury-trial provision, 45 days was selected as a compromise. That is my understanding of the matter. I pass on to the Senator from North Dakota only what I heard. But perhaps the Senator from California can answer the question. At any rate, even if 60 days had been originally proposed, and finally 45 days was decided on, the Senate got the worst end of the bargain. However, even if the provision had been for only 1 day, in my opinion the principle would be the same, because under the Constitution a citizen is entitled to a jury trial; and the Congress has no power to pass a law providing that a Federal judge or any other judge can deprive a citizen of a jury trial. However, under this proposal, a judge would be able, in two ways, to deprive a citizen of a jury trial. In the first place, the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to allow the person to have a jury trial in the first instance. If the judge decided that there could be a jury trial, the citizen would have a jury trial. If the judge decided that there would not be a jury trial, the judge himself would try the case. Next, if the judge decided to try the case himself, without a jury, the judge would proceed to try it. If, at the conclusion of the case, the judge were to determine that the punishment he would mete would be more than 45 days imprisonment or a fine of more than $300, the judge would then give the citizen another trial. In other words, this provision of the compromise would give the judge the option of trying the citizen in the first place, and it would give the judge the option of deciding how much punishment he would mete, and then the amount of punishment imposed would determine whether the citizen would receive still another trial. All those exceptions are entirely foreign to the Constitution. The Constitution provides that a man charged with the commission of a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That provision is as plain as can be. Any child in the fifth grade in school can read it and understand it; and there should not be any difficulty in understanding it. However, as I have understood in arriving at the compromise an attempt was made to get together on some provision; and the result was a monstrosity. It turned out to be an unconstitutional provision, in my opinion. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield again? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. What I should like to know is this: Is there any precedent, anywhere in the entire United States, for a measure such as this, by means of which a defendant could be tried by a judge, if the sentence imposed were imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or any other number of days, or the imposition of a fine of any size; but that if the term of imprisonment were longer or the amount of the fine were greater, there must be a jury trial? Can the Senator from South Carolina name any precedent at all for such a provision? Mr. THURMOND. I know of no place in the United States where a person charged with a crime does not have a jury trial. Even under the present criminal-contempt procedure, under existing law, if one is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no instance in any part of the United States, from Maine or the State of Washington on the north, to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or any of the other States in the southern part of the Nation, in which one who is charged with the commission of a crime does not have a trial by jury. It seems to me that in the conference, some one or more of the conferees should have raised the point, “This provision would be contrary to the Constitution, and we cannot include such a provision.” It seems to me some of the conferees would have suggested that the Constitution provides to the contrary. There is a decision which can be cited on that point; I think I have called it to the attention of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. The decision in that case holds that criminal contempt is a crime; and, since it is a crime, one charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. If there is to be passed a bill providing punishment for criminal contempt, it should provide for a jury trial. I know of no way to get around a jury trial in this matter because the Constitution has laid down the law. That is basic law. The Constitution can be amended. Congress can submit an amendment to it. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, and it can be amended so as to provide that a Federal judge in his discretion can give a man a jury trial. Then the compromise would be legal, and what it proposes would be effective. It would be. valid. As the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] said today, confirming my judgment, as it stands now it is not valid. I think it is unconstitutional. The Senator from Wyoming expressed his opinion likewise. We could amend the Constitution to provide for it. Congress could pass a law to provide that a Federal judge could punish a man for contempt, by so many days’ imprisonment, or by a fine of so many dollars. We could do that, but it has not been done. Until the Constitution is amended in the manner provided in the Constitution itself, we must abide by it. I know that many people in this country would like to get around the Constitution, and it looks as if they have been doing so. The Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution in some cases, and other branches of the Government at times have encroached upon the Constitution because there is divisional power between the Federal Government and the State governments. When we cross the line of the State government, as here, without constitutional authority, we violate the Constitution. The States entered into this pact, the Constitution, about which we are talking so much, and in this pact they delegated to the Union only certain things, and they are just as plain as they can be. They are listed in the Constitution. I should like to read to the distinguished Senator what the Constitution says on that point. Article I., section 1, provides: {{smaller block|All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.}} I will not take the time to go through all that. I will skip to the pertinent portions. Section 7 of article I. provides: {{smaller block|All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills.}} {{smaller block|Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds—}} I will skip to section 8. That is more pertinent. This is what the Congress has power to do. The powers are listed. {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.}} {{smaller block|To borrow money on credit of the United States;}} {{smaller block|To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.}} The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator suspend to receive a message from the President of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. Certainly. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Presiding Officer, the “Message from the President,” is dealt with, as is the “Executive Message Referred” and a “Message from the House.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to Senate amendments Nos. 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. I continue to read from article I., section 2: {{smaller block|To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.}} Congress would not have the power to pass bankruptcy laws, indeed Congress could not pass a law on any subject except for the power given to it by the Constitution. This provision I have read is the basis for our bankruptcy law. {{smaller block|To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.}} {{smaller block|To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States.}} {{smaller block|To establish post offices and post roads.}} That is your authority for the Federal Government to act in that field. {{smaller block|To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.}} {{smaller block|To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.}} That gives authority to Congress to establish certain courts of appeals and district courts. They are inferior tribunals, that is, inferior to the United States Supreme Court. {{smaller block|To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.}} {{smaller block|To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.}} {{smaller block|To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.}} But no appropriation of money for that purpose shall be for a longer term than 2 years. We cannot appropriate money for the Defense Establishment for more than 2 years because the Constitution limits it. If we should attempt to do that, we would go beyond the Constitution. I think that is a suggestion which may apply to foreign aid. If we should commit ourselves for 5 years or 10 years, I think that would be unconstitutional. But some of the defense items are classified under the term “foreign aid.” {{smaller block|To provide and maintain a Navy;}} {{smaller block|To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;}} {{smaller block|To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.}} {{smaller block|To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} I want to read that last part again. I wish to call attention to a point: {{smaller block|Reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} Do you not know, Mr. President, that if that section was not in the Constitution the Federal Government would be appointing the officers of the National Guard? That is the reason the Government cannot do it: the Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding 10 miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;}} For that reason the Federal Government cannot go to Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, or New Hampshire and buy a piece of land until the legislature passes an act approving such purchase. Under the provision the State must approve the transaction with respect to property within its borders, whether it owns the property or not, before the Federal Government can get it. Of course, the Government could condemn it; but if it followed the Constitution it would not be able to take it. The Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to year 1808, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding $10 for each person.}} {{smaller block|The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.}} Regardless of what a State wishes to do, the United States Constitution provides that a writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended unless—note the exception—“unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” {{smaller block|No bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed.}} {{smaller block|No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.}} We have the income-tax amendment to the Constitution. The 16th amendment to the Constitution provides that Congress can levy an income tax. That is the only authority in the Federal Government to levy an income tax. It does not inherently have that authority. The Federal Government can do only what the States gave it the authority to do when they entered into the compact in Philadelphia in 1787, and the amendments which have been adopted since then. Two years later, in 1789, the States adopted the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, for which there was so much sentiment. I do not believe the Constitution would have been ratified if the delegates to the convention had not promised the Bill of Rights would be submitted, and it was submitted and adopted 2 years after the convention, in 1789. {{smaller block|No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State.}} {{smaller block|No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.}} {{smaller block|No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.}} That is the only reason the States do not impose duties on some articles; otherwise they would probably do it, but under the Constitution they cannot do it. {{smaller block|No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.}} In other words, if I were an ambassador in London and the Queen of England wished to confer on me a title or wished to give me extra compensation for some reason I could not take the title or compensation unless Congress permitted it. Congress would have to pass an act to permit it. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 10. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ''ex post facto'' law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.}} In other words, that goes right down the line to support the point I make. So the Constitution provides exactly what the Federal Government can do. What hurts me is to see some distinguished Members of Congress, able men who believe in the division of powers between the Federal and State Governments—or I always thought they did—going along with the bill, because this is a bill that takes power away from the States and gives it to the Federal Government. The matter of elections is left up to each State. That power was not delegated. The qualifications for electors, the holding of elections, and all relevant matters were reserved to the States. There has been a movement, I understand to get the Congress to pass a bill eliminating the poll tax. I believe I told the Senate this morning, or this afternoon, that when I was Governor, I recommended that the poll tax be removed in my State and it was removed. But Congress may not pass a law to do it. It could do it, but it would be unconstitutional for the reason that there is a provision of the Constitution which states that the qualifications of electors shall be left to each State. Therefore, New Hampshire has qualifications and if the people of that State wish to make as a qualification for voting in that State the payment of a poll tax, they have a right to do so. The only way such a measure could be enacted legally, if it were going to be the law nationwide, would be for Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the poll tax. The Senator from Florida [Mr. {{sc|Holland}}] has now pending a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate the poll tax, amending the Constitution. To do that would be legal; it would be constitutional, and it would be proper. Personally I think it is better to leave to each State the power to fix the qualifications for voting of its citizens. In my State, as I have said, we have very low qualifications. We have heard much about people in my State not voting. I believe more people vote in my State than vote in New York, because New York has a much higher standard for voting. That State requires, I believe someone said, a high-school education. Someone else said it requires a grade-school education. It is certainly one of the two. In my State we require only that a man be able to read and write the Constitution, or that he own $300 worth of assessed property. So our requirements for voting are not stringent. They are not nearly as strict as they are in New York. I do not know about the requirements in the State of the Senator from North Dakota. A few years ago I was Governor of South Carolina. At that time a bill was pending in Congress to remove the poll tax on a nationwide basis. Congress was to do it. It would have been just as unconstitutional as this so-called compromise, whose proponents are trying to get it through the Congress, to deprive the people of a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. I thank my distinguished friend. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, I do not believe that American history is taught sufficiently in our high schools and colleges. I do not believe that a course in government is taught in our high schools and colleges. I come in contact with a great many intelligent people, people who have been educated, big financiers who have made a great deal of money, and many others; yet they do not know the fundamentals of the Constitution. It is because they have not studied it. I think the people of the country would be wise to study the Constitution. I think it is more important today than ever before for the people to study it and be able to delineate the powers of the Federal Government, and learn what the Federal Government has not the power to do. For example, the Congress has no power to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, because the qualifications of voters are left to each State. There are a great many things which Congress cannot do. Yet pressure is brought on Members of Congress, and they vote for certain measures anyway, because of the pressure. Why do Senators think this so-called compromise on the civil rights bill is being pressed? Why is there any civil rights bill before us? Why call this measure a right-to-vote bill? It is a perfect farce. It is not a right-to-vote bill. As I have stated, every State in the Union has statutes providing for the right to vote. The Federal Government has statutes providing for the right to vote. Why is such a bill as this being considered at this time? Because there are pressures on Members of Congress to do so. Some Members of Congress attempted to do so, even though they were doubtful of the constitutionality of the measure. The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] stated earlier in the day that he did not think the jury trial amendment which was put in the compromise bill in the House was constitutional. He said he would offer an amendment in January to correct it. I would rather see him vote against it now. If the bill should pass anyway, he could later offer his amendment. But if a bill is unconstitutional, I think it is better for us not to vote for it. I think Members of Congress must develop stamina, fortitude, and courage to resist pressures, and to stand by the Constitution. If we do not do so, as I stated earlier in the day, we shall keep whittling away the rights of the States until, after a while, the States will not have any rights. There will be a powerful Central Government—and it will be a powerful monster, too. Everything will radiate from Washington. I understand there is a movement on foot to establish a national police system. It is desired to convert the FBI, which is purely an investigative agency, into a law-enforcement agency. It is not a law-enforcement agency. Congress would not have the right to establish a national police agency, because under the Constitution the police power is reserved to the States. However, this investigative agency, the FBI, is in a different situation. It does not do police work. It apprehends criminals and works with the States, and cooperates in the execution of Federal laws, apprehending violators and bringing them to trial. But it is not a police agency. I am glad that Mr. J. Edgar Hoover said that he was opposed to a national police system. I am sorry to see that the President has been recommending a bill to provide Federal aid to education by way of construction of school buildings. I have been amazed at the fact that so many people are not acquainted with the fact that in the entire Federal Constitution there is not a sentence which contains the word “education.” The word “education” is not to be found in the United States Constitution. Therefore, since the States did not delegate the field of education to the Federal Government, the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in that field, unless we amend the Constitution and give the Federal Government jurisdiction in the field of education. We can amend the Constitution. We can follow one of the four methods of amending the Constitution, and give the Federal Government authority in that field, if that is the wise thing to do, which I do not think it is. However, that is the way it must be done. We have no authority to appropriate money for Federal aid to education. I know that the President’s intentions are good. However, at Columbia University several years ago he was against Federal aid to education. At any rate, it would be a great mistake for the Federal Government to enter the field of education. After we begin giving money for Federal aid to education by way of construction, the next demand from the powerful National Education Association, which I understand is building a tremendous office building in Washington, will be for a supplement to the salaries of teachers. The National Education Association will bring pressure on Members of Congress, as do other pressure organizations, and will say, “We need supplements to teachers’ salaries.” When we enact legislation for Federal aid to construct the buildings, and to provide supplements to teachers’ salaries, the Federal Government will be asked to pay a larger share of such salaries, and there will be more and more control to go with it. Before we know it, there will be Federal control of education, and the parents of the Nation will find their children studying books selected in Washington, instead of by the people in Delaware, North Dakota, and South Carolina. It is a great mistake for us not to follow the Constitution. If the Constitution needs amending, we can amend it. There is a provision for amending it, and it should be amended from time to time. There have been 22 amendments since it was adopted. In 1789 the first 10 amendments were adopted. Since then, 12 other amendments have been adopted. There are now 22 amendments to the Constitution. We were talking about the 16th amendment awhile ago, the income-tax amendment. I think most people feel that it is necessary, although the income tax appears high. Therefore there had to be a way to bring it about. Congress could not pass an income-tax law. It had no authority to do so until the Constitution had been amended to give Congress the power to do it. I think it is important to understand what we mean by the division of powers between the Federal Government and the State governments. We have a compound Republic. It is a compound Republic because there are Federal powers and State powers. There are three branches in the Federal Government, each of which checks on the others, with the exception of the Supreme Court. It has practically no check on it, and it has gone wild. There are three branches in the State governments. Each is supposed to be a check on the others. There are two checks on the Supreme Court. In the first place, we can impeach Supreme Court justices. However, the House must do the impeaching, and the Senate sits as a jury to hear the case. So, there is not much the Senate can do from that standpoint. The other one is that, under the Constitution, the appellate power of the Supreme Court can be controlled by the Congress, so that if Congress saw fit to pass a bill to limit the {{SIC|appelate|appellate}} power of the Supreme Court, Congress would have that right. The Constitution gives it the power to do that. Many persons think we have to amend the Constitution before we can do that. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Would the Senator say that would be a form of cruel and inhuman punishment to impose upon his colleagues? Mr. THURMOND. I would say it is cruel and inhuman punishment to impose on the citizens of America if we pass a bill without providing for a jury trial. (Manifestations of applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The galleries will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. I have received letters from a number of States, and I have been in California. I spent a week there in the fall of 1953. Starting at Long Beach and ending up at San Francisco, I made addresses all the way up the coast. I even went to Bakersfield and saw an old friend of the Senator from California there. I talked with many persons there. Unless they have had a change in sentiment, they think, just as the people of South Carolina do, that there should be jury trials. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does not the distinguished Senator also think that the people of California are interested in the 15th amendment to the Constitution, assuring all American citizens the right to vote? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the people of California are, and I am sure the people of South Carolina are. The people of South Carolina have done something about it, just as have the people of California. Last night, when the distinguished Senator from California was resting comfortably, I was speaking here and trying to rouse the people of America concerning the dangers of taking away their right of trial by jury. I placed in the {{sc|Record}} the statutes of California on that subject, and here is what they provide: {{smaller block|“California: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Elections Code Annotated—West’s—1955:}} {{smaller block|“Hindering public meeting: Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence, willfully hinders of prevents electors from assembling in public meetings for consideration of public questions (sec. 5004).}} {{smaller block|“Intimidating voter: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor, who, directly or indirectly, uses, or threatens to use, force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts, or threatens to inflict, any injury, damage, harm, or loss, or other forms of intimidation, to compel a person to vote, or refrain from voting, at any election (sec 1158).}} {{smaller block|“Interference with free exercise of elective franchise: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent means, impedes or prevents the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or who compels or induces a voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person (sec. 11582).}} {{smaller block|“Election officers: Any election officer who induces, or attempts to induce, any voter, either by menace or reward, to vote differently from the way he intended to vote, is guilty of a felony. (sec. 11583).}} {{smaller block|“Threat by employer: Any employer, whether a corporation or natural person, is guilty of a misdemeanor, if he encloses material in the pay envelopes containing threats, express or implied, intended to influence political opinions or action of employees, or who, within 90 days before an election, exhibits any placard, etc., in the place of employment, containing such threats (secs. 11584, 11585).}} {{smaller block|“Penalty: Any corporation guilty of intimidating a voter shall forfeit its charter (sec. 11586).}} {{smaller block|“Misdemeanor: Unless a different penalty is prescribed, a misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by fine of not over $500, or by both (Penal Code, sec. 19).}} {{smaller block|“Scope of penalty provisions: All penalty provisions listed above apply to both final elections and primary elections (sec. 11500).”}} Those are statutes of the State of California, and they are good statutes. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does the Senator not recognize the fact that under the voting rights bill which the Senate is attempting to pass but which the Senator from South Carolina has, for the moment, successfully prevented the Senate from passing, there is not a single individual who can be cited for either civil or criminal contempt if another American citizen is deprived of his right to vote under the Constitution? So, if the Senator is correct in his statement that no person is deprived of his right to vote in his State—and I feel certain that no American citizen is denied the right to vote in my State—neither California nor South Carolina would cite any public official or other person criminally unless they were depriving people of their right to vote under the laws of the State. Mr. THURMOND. I think some part of the Union could nullify the Constitution, just as I think some juries turn loose some defendants who are guilty. Some judges will make mistakes, too. But why do we not let the States alone and let them handle their own problems? I know the southern people and I know they are doing all they can for the Negro. I see my friend the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting next to the Senator from California. He feels that his State is doing all it can. I know the State of Mississippi, from which come my good friends, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} and Senator {{sc|Stennis}}, is doing all it can. We cannot change customs overnight. We have to let the local people work these things out. But Congress did not care to let the local people work these things out. All that is necessary is to have enforcement of the Federal statute. There is a Federal statute, to which I called attention today. For the benefit of Senators who were not here at the time, I may say that this statute provides that whoever intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, is guilty of a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment of 1 year. Mr. COOPER. Will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator know that there has never been any question, since the War Between the States, about the Negro population in Kentucky having the right to vote, and exercising that right? Mr. THURMOND. I have never heard any question about it. I simply say that in my State the Negroes are voting in large numbers. They claimed the credit for carrying the election for Stevenson in 1952, and at that time there was a very close election. They claimed they cast more than 80,000 votes, which was about 25 percent of the total. Their own newspaper contained that information. I have a clipping from that newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer. So they are certainly voting in my State, and I am sure they are voting in the Senator’s State. Is it not better to let the local people work out these problems, rather than to rush things on them, and try to change their customs overnight? As a matter of fact, if you gentlemen want to take any action, however, if the proponents of this bill are not satisfied—I do not think the distinguished Senator is dissatisfied—with the enforcement by the governors of the States of the Nation—and the governors are the chief executive officers of the States and are responsible for enforcing the law—or if the Federal Government is not satisfied with the enforcement being given by the governors to the voting laws of the States to protect the rights of people to vote, then why do they not enforce the Federal statute, which is already on the books? Mr. COOPER. Because of the Senator’s kind reference, I should like to ask a question as follows: Does the Senator know that in Kentucky all citizens, including all Negroes, have had, since the War Between the States, the right to vote, have exercised that right, and that it has never been questioned? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is the case, because I have heard that they vote there. They are voting in the South in larger numbers than ever before. No persons in my State are deprived of the right to vote. If they are qualified to vote, they are allowed to vote. Of course, no man who is not qualified ought to be allowed to vote. New York State has a much higher standard, as I said a while ago, than we have. If a person can merely read or write in my State, he can vote. In New York one has to be a high-school graduate, I believe, or at least has to meet a literacy test. So we are not nearly so strict in South Carolina as they are in New York. The Senator comes from a border State. Kentucky is a great State. I suggest to the Senator, however, since he is from a border State that went in part with the North and in part with the South, that the Senator stick with the South. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I will ask the Senator if it is not true that Kentucky had to make that choice almost a hundred years ago and they chose to stick with the Union? Mr. THURMOD. Mr. President, if there is any Member in the Senate who is not satisfied with the voting protection given by the governors and the other officials of the States of the Nation, again I say that all they have to do is to call upon the Justice Department to enforce section 594. It is now against the Federal law to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or to attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any voter, in any way, shape, or form. That is the Federal statute which is on the books now. Why not enforce that statute? What is the idea of coming here with a right-to-vote bill? That is a big, high-sounding word that does not mean anything. If we pass this bill, we will pass an unconstitutional bill. It will be all right if the Justice Department will enforce section 594. I believe they are enforcing it. Is there anyone that thinks they are not enforcing this law? Is there anyone who thinks the present administration is not enforcing section 594? If the Justice Department are enforcing this law, they are protecting people in this matter now. If they are not enforcing this law, let them enforce it, and that will protect them. Either the Justice Department are not enforcing this law, if they have had complaints, or they have not had any complaints. Has the Justice Department had complaints, such as we have been hearing about, that many people have been denied the right to vote? We hear that in the South many people are denied the right to vote. What is there now; what has there been in the past 5 years to keep the Attorney General from going to any Southern State to enforce this statute? It is a Federal statute. The Attorney General not only has the right to enforce it, but he has the duty. If there have been any complaints about people in the South not voting, I have not heard of them. But if there have been any complaints about them not voting, then the Justice Department ought to do something about it. If the Justice Department has taken no action to enforce this statute, it shows one of two things: The Department has not had anybody objecting, or, if there were objections, it ignored them and did not do its duty by enforcing the statute. The point is there is a Federal statute now, so why pass another bill? All the Congress needs to do is to follow the Constitution. If we will follow the line of demarcation in the Constitution between the powers delegated to the Federal Government and the powers reserved to the States, we will not get into difficulties about all these different things. If a bill were introduced to repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, there would not be any question but that the Congress would not consider it because it would be unconstitutional. The qualifications of voting are reserved to the States. Why can we not look at it from that viewpoint and not try to say whether it is a good bill or a bad bill? On the right to vote bill, should there be any question whether we are going to accept this compromise? I do not think there should be any question at all, because the Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The court decision which I have before me holds that criminal contempt is a crime. Mr. President— The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). The Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I will proceed now, if there are no further questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina has the floor. Mr. THURMOND. Article III., defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield to the able Senator for a question. Mr. LANGER. Is it correct that under Federal statute 594 there can be imposed a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. The compromise right to vote bill cuts it down to a fine of $300 and 45 days in jail. If the judge determines that the defendant ought to suffer a greater penalty than that, the case has to go to a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator, I will say if this bill is passed, of course I am expecting it to be held unconstitutional as soon as it can be tested. But until that is done, they will have a choice. There could be a prosecution under the Federal statute, which is section 594: or such a person could be taken before a Federal judge, and the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to try the case. If the judge decided he was in a hurry to take a vacation trip, he could simply say, “I will try the case myself.” Then, under the provisions of the compromise measure, the judge would try the case; and the person being tried could not complain. Let me ask the Senator from North Dakota what he would do. Suppose he were to find himself in such a situation; and suppose the judge were to say to him, “Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I will not give you a jury trial. I will try you myself”—and then the judge would rear back on his haunches and would grin. What would the Senator from North Dakota do under those circumstances? There would be nothing he could do, because the judge would have a right to try him under the provisions of the compromise measure which has come to us from the House of Representatives. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Inasmuch as section 594 is on the statute books, why is not this right-to-vote bill entirely superfluous? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has put his finger on exactly what I have been discussing in the Senate for—let me see, Mr. President, how long has it been? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-one hours. Mr. THURMOND. No; Mr. President, it has been 22 hours and 10 minutes. [Laughter.] For 22 hours and 10 minutes I have been trying to emphasize that point—namely, why is this compromise necessary, when a Federal statute on this subject is already on the statute books? It provides for a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail. If the Department of Justice is interested in the persons who are alleged to have been deprived of the right to vote—regardless of whether they are whites, Negroes, or others—why does not the Department of Justice take action to enforce section 594 and thus protect the right to vote? The Department of Justice can do that under section 594. That is up to the Department of Justice. I do not know what the Department will do; that is up to the Department of Justice. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. During the last 5 years, has anyone been arrested under section 594? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota, I wish to say that I have never heard that anyone in my State has been tried under that statute. So there is no use in having the representatives of the Department of Justice come to South Carolina and say that people there are deprived of the right to vote, because if anyone representing the Department of Justice does come to South Carolina and does make such a statement, I will tell him that it is his own fault, for those in the Department of Justice have failed to do their duty; they have a law under which they can punish such persons, but they have not done so. Either no one in South Carolina is deprived of the right to vote, or else the Department of Justice has failed to do its duty. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. I get the point very clearly. Mr. THURMOND. Let me ask whether there are any more questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield the floor? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I shall proceed. I am just trying to find a section of the Constitution to which I wish to refer. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, while the Senator from South Carolina is doing that, will he yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Can the Senator from South Carolina tell the Senate how many years ago section 594 was enacted into law? Mr. THURMOND. I believe it was in 1939. Mr. LANGER. Do I correctly understand that since that time, there has been no prosecution under that provision of law? Is that true, so far as the Senator from South Carolina knows? Mr. THURMOND. I have not heard of a single prosecution in South Carolina under that statute. Mr. LANGER. Has the Senator heard of one in any other State? Mr. THURMOND. If there has been one, I have not heard of it. I would not say there has not been one in some other State, but I do not know of a case of that sort which has been tried in the Federal courts. Some have been tried in the State courts; we are enforcing our State laws. But I have not heard of a case in which anyone has been tried under this Federal statute—which carries with it a heavy penalty, namely, a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment in jail for 1 year. I have never heard of anyone who has been tried under that law. But, Mr. President, of course I am not surprised at that, because in South Carolina, everyone who wishes to register to vote and to vote, does register and does vote, if he is qualified. So I do not think it likely that there would be any cases of that sort in South Carolina. Mr. President, there have been insinuations to the effect that the Southern States are denying some people the right to vote. I think insinuations about any States should stop—whether that be Northern States, Southern States, Eastern States, or Western States. All of us are Americans. We have a great country. In all the wars the United States has ever fought, the United States has had brave soldiers from all sections of the country. It is very bad to have people in one section of the country try to snipe at people in another section of the country. That is the very thing George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address. Mr. LANGER. Yes, I am familiar with that admonition by George Washington. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, if anyone in the South has been intimidated or coerced or threatened with regard to voting—if anyone in any Southern State has been treated in that way—the district attorney in the State can take action any day he wishes to; and if the Department of Justice does not do it, the Department is failing to perform its duty with respect to such violations; or else there are no violations of that sort. So evidently there have not been any violations of that sort in the State of South Carolina, or else no one has complained about them. As a matter of fact, I am quite sure that there have not been any violations of that sort in my State, because, as I have said, anyone in South Carolina who wishes to vote, and who is qualified to vote, and who registers, can vote. Mr. President, I should like to read what George Washington said. Sometimes, Mr. President, when I see the able Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting in his seat in this Chamber—so able a judge and lawyer, and a fine soldier in World War II.; and when I see in the Chamber the distinguished senior Senator from Michigan [Mr. {{sc|Potter}}], who lost both of his legs in that war; and when I see my other fellow veterans who are distinguished Members of this body or are distinguished Members of the House of Representatives, and then when I see matters of a sectional nature brought up here, and when one group wishes to try to have enacted into law a measure aimed at punishing another section of the country, it makes my heart ache. My colleagues who are veterans did not feel that way when they were serving in the Armed Forces overseas; they did not feel that way when they were in uniform. If the Members of Congress from various sections of the United States would just accord to all the other States the same respect that they expect to have accorded to their own States I am sure that we would not be having this trouble; and then I would not have been speaking here on this subject for more than 22 hours in an effort to arouse the American people. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For 22 hours and 10 minutes. Mr. THURMOND. No, Mr. President, for 22 hours and 20 minutes. [Laughter.] I would not be trying to arouse the American people if it were not necessary. But why should the North want to pick on those of us who live in the South? Why do the people in New York want to pick on us? Why do the people in New Jersey want to pick on us? Or why do the people of any other section of the country want to pick on us? We think we are fairly good people. We think we are patriotic. The Members of Congress from the Southern States want to work together with all the other Members of Congress. Mr. President, I want to extend every courtesy to every other Member of Congress, and I want to see those who live in any particular section of the country extend to the rest of the people of the country the same courtesy that they expect to have extended to themselves. But, Mr. President, I can tell you this: This right-to-vote bill—and I say this because I know something about its history—is aimed at the South. It is aimed at the South; and it hurts me to see that done, because South Carolina is not guilty, and this bill should not be enacted. I do not believe the other Southern States are guilty. The Southern States have done their part in every way. As I have said, the people of the Southern States have fought for their country and have served in public office in every way. They have been honorable people. Yet, in order to try to win the votes of certain minority blocs, some pressure groups are willing to punish us, to put us under the heel, and to grind and grind and grind us. I am getting tired of it. (Manifestations of applause by the occupants of the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The doorkeepers must keep the galleries in order. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. COOPER. A minute ago the Senator spoke very generously of our association and friendship during World War II. I know that he did not mean to intimate that there was any intention upon the part of the Senator from Kentucky, in his vote on the civil-rights bill, to show any bias or prejudice toward his own people in the South. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that there was not, Senator. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator remember? Mr. THURMOND. I remember, and I say to the Senator from Kentucky he is one of the finest and most gracious gentlemen I have known. The Senator from Kentucky is not one of those ardent proponents of the bill who is trying to ram the bill home. I do not know how he is going to vote, but he is a good constitutional lawyer. I hope he will not vote for it. I hope he will think over the jury trial issue and not vote for it. He has not been one of those who has been baiting the South. Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Kentucky is a good friend of the Senator from South Carolina, but the Senator from Kentucky will vote for civil rights. He intends to vote for the bill this evening or at some later time. In the debate he said again and again that he believes in the juries in the South, and that the people of the South would respect the law and would follow the law. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina knows that the Senator from Kentucky said that. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure he did say that. The only thing is that if the Senator feels that the South obeys the law, I do not understand why he should want to have this bill passed. I will get on with what George Washington said. Mr. President, George Washington, in his Farewell Address, used his strongest language against those who would divide our country; he urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern—Atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations: they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} That was George Washington speaking. George Washington wanted to see the people from the North to the South, and to the East and the West, bound together with a fraternal feeling. He wanted a fraternal attitude manifested. Why should we not manifest a fraternal attitude on these matters? Why should we not try to help another section, and not sponsor legislation which is aimed at any particular section, merely to try to get votes to win an election? I have said, and I repeat, that since every State in the United States from Alabama to Wyoming has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and since the Federal Government has a statute on its books to protect the right to vote, there is no need for this bill. I say, and I repeat, that I think the bill is purely political, and I think that both parties have been trying to grab the ball to see who could get the spotlight for the elections coming up in 1958. {{smaller block|Article III, defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. We may note, for example, two further uses of the plural: First, the judicial power is to extend “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.” Second, treason against the United States is to consist “only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies.” Because the authority of the Court will be considered at length in a later chapter, it will suffice here merely to point out that nowhere in article III is the Court given jurisdiction over controversies between a State and the United States. That proposal was specifically advanced during the convention, and specifically rejected.}} {{smaller block|Every section—indeed, every paragraph—of article IV touches upon the Federal nature of the Union. Full faith and credit are to be given in each State, to the acts and judicial proceedings of every other State. If this were not a Federal Union, the provision would be nonsense. Beyond this, the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. A person charged in any State with crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall be delivered upon demand to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime.}} {{smaller block|Then comes the provision that Northern States were to flout over a period of 30 years: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.”}} {{smaller block|Finally, we may note in article IV the provision for admitting new States into this Union (not this Nation, but this Union): “No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.”}} {{smaller block|Article V had best be quoted in full. It has not been changed by so much as an apostrophe in the years since it came from Philadelphia in September of 1787. It still fixes and defines the sovereign power:}} {{smaller block|Pause for a moment over this article of the Constitution. We are dealing here with Taylor’s “will to enact” and “power to execute;” we are dealing with Marshall’s “power to make and unmake.” It was plainly envisioned by the framers that their work would require amendment through the years. “That useful alterations will be suggested by experience, could not but be foreseen,” Madison was to write. There was a double aim in the provision, even a triple aim. {{SIC|Aricle|Article}} V, Madison tells us, was intended, first, to guard equally against too-easy amendment on the one hand and too-difficult amendment on the other. It was drafted, secondly, to permit amendments to originate both with the Federal and with the State Governments. But it was intended, finally, to leave the ultimate decision upon changing the Constitution to the sovereign States themselves—not to the people as a mass, nor even to a bare majority of the States as such. It was recognized that the great, overriding principle of protection for minorities should apply here as bindingly as it was to apply elsewhere. If one-fourth of the States plus one should object to a change in the Constitution—even if that change were desired by three-fourths minus one (and even if this larger fraction should include the great bulk of the total population)—the change could not be engrafted to the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI is brief. Its first provision covers debts and engagements entered into under the Articles of Confederation and continues these obligations under the proposed new Constitution; its third provision prohibits any religious test as a qualification for public office and requires an oath to support the Constitution of all public officers, both State and Federal.}} {{smaller block|It is the second provision that merits brief attention in this summary review:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”}} {{smaller block|Let us go back: What is to be supreme? Three things. First, “this Constitution.” Secondly, “laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof.” Third, treaties made “under the authority of the United States.” That is all. Not Executive orders of the President. Not even judgments of the Supreme Court. The Constitution, the laws made in pursuance thereof, the treaties.}} {{smaller block|In passing, note the phrase “law of the land.” It stems originally from the Magna Carta; but as it appears in the Constitution, “law of the land” was merely a substitution, proposed by the committee on style, for “law of the several States and their citizens and inhabitants.” The object was to extend this new supreme law to Territories as well as to the States. And this phrase, “law of the land,” is as close as the Constitution ever comes to suggesting a “nation.” Actually the word “nation” or the word “national” never appears in the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The aim, we will recall, was to form “a more perfect Union.” Representatives and taxes were to be apportioned among the several States which may be included “within this Union.” The militia may be called forth to execute “the laws of the Union.” The President is to provide Congress with information on the “state of the Union.” New States are to be admitted “into this Union.” The guaranty of a republican form of government goes “to every State in this Union.” But never, at any point, are the United States described, in the Constitution, as comprising a “nation.”}} {{smaller block|This is not to contend, of course, that ours is not a Nation, or that the Federal Government does not operate nationally. It is only to suggest that the deliberate terms of the Constitution speak for themselves, and should be heeded: Our country is, first and foremost, originally and still, a Union of States. And when we speak of the law of the land, it should be kept steadily in mind that the land is a Federal Union, in which each of the States stands coequal with every other State. The Constitution is supreme not only in its authority over each State, but also in its protection over each State. And each State, each respective State, is entitled to rely upon the Constitution as embodying supreme law that all other States must adhere to with equal fidelity, like it or not, until the Constitution be changed by the States themselves.}} {{smaller block|Note, too, the careful qualification that defines laws enacted by the Congress. Just any laws of the United States are not enough: Laws, to be binding, must be laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Any attempted statutes that invade the residuary authority of the States, Hamilton tells us, “will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” And he adds, at another point, that:}} {{smaller block|“There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”}} {{smaller block|Surely, it may be urged that precisely the same standard must be applied to other branches of the Federal Government—the executive and judicial no less than the legislative. By extension, thus, judgments of the Court, to be supreme law of the land, must be made pursuant to the Constitution. A judgment of the Court, so violative of the clear terms and understandings of the Constitution as to invade the residuary authority of the States, must also be regarded as a usurpation, and should deserve to be treated as such. The argument will be pursued at greater length hereafter.}} {{smaller block|Finally, this brief examination of the Constitution from the standpoint of the States may be concluded with a second look at article VII. It should be read carefully; for this is the clause that binds: “The ratification of the conventions of 9 States”—not, again, the approval of a majority of the people in a popular referendum, but the ratification of 9 States—“shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, on September 17, the Convention concluded its work. George Washington, as President of the Convention, transmitted the document to the Congress. A prophetic sentence appeared in his letter, as he mentioned the compromises necessary for the surrender of sovereign powers: “It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved.” The States had done the best they could through their delegates. Eager to consolidate their Union, each State had been disposed “to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected.” They launched the ship.}} {{smaller block|“Well, Doctor,” said the lady to Mr. Franklin, “what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”}} {{smaller block|“A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”}} It is pretty hard to keep when bills are introduced to violate the Constitution by chipping off and whittling away the rights of the States in an effort, it seems, to reduce them to colonial status. Continuing the quotation from the Kilpatrick book: {{c|{{x-smaller|6. THE PROPHETIC MR. HENRY}}}} {{smaller block|For the States’ understanding of what the Constitution was to mean to them, as States, we can look not only to the internal evidence of the Constitution itself, but to the debates in the ratifying conventions and to some of the contemporary criticism, notably in the Federalist papers. We can look, also, to some of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court from time to time, and to the writings of scholars of our own day.}} {{smaller block|The evidence is overwhelming. By written compact, solemnly ratified, the States agreed mutually to delegate certain of their sovereign powers to a Federal Government. They enumerated these powers. All other powers they reserved to themselves, and these reserved powers did not need to be enumerated: the reserved powers constituted an inherent powers of sovereign States not specifically abridged.}} {{smaller block|So plain was this understanding that the feeling most frequently encountered, in reading comments of the period, is one of incredulity that anyone should doubt it.}} {{smaller block|“The proposed constitution,” said Hamilton, “so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, said Madison:}} {{smaller block|“It is to be remembered that the General Government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its {{SIC|jursidiction|jurisdiction}} is limited to certain enumerated objects which concern all the members of the Republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments, which can extend their care to all other objects which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity.”}} {{smaller block|Neither Hamilton nor Madison could quite imagine the Federal Government ever seriously encroaching upon the States.}} {{smaller block|“Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require,” said Hamilton, “I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons intrusted with the administration of the General Government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository.”}} {{smaller block|Then he added, with a singular absence of prophecy:}} {{smaller block|“The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things, in short, which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected. * * *}} {{smaller block|“It will always be far more easy for the State governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the National Government to encroach upon the State authorities.”}} That is where he was wrong. In other words, Hamilton had no idea that the Federal Government would ever attempt to encroach on the rights of the states. In his day it looked to him as if it would be easier for the States to encroach on the rights of the Federal Government than for the Federal Government to encroach on the rights of the States. But in recent years do-gooders, welfare-staters, left-wingers, and other pressure groups are trying to transform this Government. They are trying to make of it a national government. It is not a national government; it is a Federal Government. The States came together in a federation and formed this Government. That is the conception which I hope we can get over to the people of the Nation, that our Government is not a national government; it is a Federal Government made by the States coming together and forming a federation and signing the compact which became the Constitution. Therefore we have a Federal Government, not a national government. I hope we shall never have a national government. We must stop the Federal usurpation that is now going on and has been going on for some years. {{smaller block|Madison, also, imagined that the Federal Government would “be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments.” For his part, Hamilton thought it more probable that the States would encroach upon the Federal Government, and he imagined that in such contests the State governments, because they “will commonly possess most influence” over the people, would dominate Federal agencies “to the disadvantage of the Union.” However, all such conjectures Hamilton viewed as “extremely vague and fallible.” He preferred to assume that the people “will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium between the general and the State governments.”}} {{smaller block|In No. 45, Madison treated at considerable length the widespread apprehension that the States would be obliterated. Some of his comments have been outdated; what he has to say about the election of Senators, for example, unhappily has been superseded by the misfortune of the 17th amendment. Some of his other observations, dealing with functions of what was to become the Bureau of Internal Revenue, may occasion some wary reflection on the lengths by which even a Madison could miss his guess. But as contemporary evidence of the role guaranteed to the States, No. 45 justifies quotation at some length:}} {{smaller block|“The State governments will have the advantage of the Federal Government, whet her we compare them in respect to the immediate dependence of the one on the other; to the weight of personal influence which each side will possess; to the powers respectively vested in them to the predilection and probable support of the people; to the disposition and faculty of resisting and frustrating the measures of each other.}} {{smaller block|“The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the Federal Government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. Even the House of Representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the State legislatures. Thus, each of the principal branches of the Federal Government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing toward them. On the other side, the component parts of the State governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the Federal Government, and very little, if at all, to the local influence of its members.}} {{smaller block|“The number of individuals employed under the Constitution of the United States will be much smaller than the number employed under the particular States. There will consequently be less of personal influence on the side or the former than of the latter. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments of 13 and more States, the justices of peace, officers of militia, ministerial officers of justice, with all the county, corporation, and town officers, for 3 millions and more of people, intermixed, and having particular acquaintance with every class and circle of people, must exceed, beyond all proportion, both in number and influence, those of every description who will be employed in the administration of the Federal system. Compare the members of the three great departments of the 13 States, excluding from the judiciary department the justices of peace, with the members of the corresponding departments of the single government of the Union; compare the militia officers of 3 millions of people with the military and marine officers of any establishment which is within the compass of probability, or, I may add, of possibility, and in this view alone, we may pronounce the advantage of the States to be decisive.}} {{smaller block|“If the Federal Government is to have collectors of revenue, the State governments will have theirs also. And as those of the former will be principally on the seacoast, and not very numerous, whilst those of the latter will be spread over the face of the country, and will be very numerous, the advantage in this view also lies on the same side. It is true, that the confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union·, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.}} {{smaller block|“The operations of the Federal Government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the Federal Government. The more adequate, indeed, the Federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.}} {{smaller block|“If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy and candor, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of new powers to the union, than in the invigoration of its original powers. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the Articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them.”}} {{smaller block|Even John Marshall, who did more than any man in our history to aggrandize the Federal Government and to weaken the States, never doubted the basic structure of divided powers. Consider, briefly, his comment in the famed case of ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland''. The case arose when Congress established the Bank of the United States, and Maryland undertook to levy a tax upon the bank’s Baltimore branch; James McCulloch, the cashier, refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued.}} {{smaller block|The legal questions were two: Did Congress have power to incorporate the bank, and secondly, did Maryland have power to tax it? Marshall answered the first one “Yes,” the second, “No.” With the bulk of his reasoning, strict constructionists and apostles of States rights will disagree: Marshall’s sophisticated mind did not boggle at stretching “necessary” to mean “convenient.” In considering the actual act of ratification by which the Union was formed, Marshall was not much impressed by the fact, which he could not escape, that the people met in State conventions. “Where else should they have assembled?” he asked. But even here, a couple of sentences merit quotation as evidence from the States greatest detractor:}} {{smaller block|“It is true, [the people] assembled in their several States—and where else should they have assembled? No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall went on in his opinion to confuse “States” and “State governments,” thus setting up a convenient strawman to batter down. No one ever had contended that the Constitution was ratified by State governments, but Marshall, with a glittering display of intellectual swordsmanship, neatly skewered the nonexistent objection. Then he went on to say:}} {{smaller block|“This Government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was pending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted. But the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising, and will probably continue to arise, as long as our system shall exist.”}} {{smaller block|True enough, the question of “the extent of powers” does continue to arise to this day, though the doctrines of Marshall have so pervaded public thinking that it often is forgotten that the Federal Government has any limitations whatever. But the separateness of the States and the nature of their delegated powers were clearly recognized when the Constitution was created. The prophets who foresaw the trend toward consolidation—notably Patrick Henry and George Mason—were told they were old women, seeing ghosts.}} {{smaller block|Consider, if you will, the debate on ratification in Virginia. The transcript offers some absorbing reading. If the clash of a Henry and a Mason with a Pendleton and a Madison does not prompt reflection upon subsequent corruption of the Constitution, at the very least their battle must lead to regrets at the decline in the quality of today’s legislative debates. There were giants in those days. This was, to paraphrase Marshall, a Constitution they were debating. What was said of the relationship of the States and the Federal Government?}} {{smaller block|Go back in time. This was a sultry summer in Richmond. At least twice the brief convention was interrupted by thunder storms so severe the delegates were forced to recess. Tempers flared sharply. At one point Edmund Randolph, infuriated with Patrick Henry, was prepared to let their friendship “fall like Lucifer, never to rise again.” They began on Monday, June 2; they adjourned ''sine die'' on Friday, June 27. Into those 4 weeks, the Virginians of 1788 packed a world of profound reflection upon the meaning and intention of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Edmund Pendleton served as president of the Virginia convention. He was a remarkable man: lawyer, scholar, statesman, thinker. In advocating ratification, Pendleton was joined by James Madison, John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, and Light Horse Harry Lee. They carried the day against Patrick Henry and George Mason, as leading opponents of the proposition.}} {{smaller block|The convention scarcely had begun before Henry established the broad spread of argument. He did not propose to abide by any parliamentary decision to debate one clause at a time. Before the convention in Philadelphia the previous summer, said Henry, a general peace and a universal tranquillity had prevailed. Now he was “extremely uneasy at the proposed change of government.” He swept the room with a cold eye: “Be extremely cautious, watchful, jealous of your liberty. Instead of securing your rights, you may lose them forever.”}} {{smaller block|George Mason came to his side. He charged that the new Constitution would create “a national government, and no longer a confederation.” He especially denounced the authority proposed in the general government to levy direct taxes. This power, being at the discretion of Congress and unconfined, “and without any kind of control, must carry everything before it.” “The idea of a consolidated government,” he said, “is totally subversive of every principle which has hitherto governed us. This power is calculated to annihilate totally the State governments. * * * These two concurrent powers cannot exist long together; the one will destroy the other; the general government, being paramount to and in every respect more powerful than the State governments, the latter must give way to the former.”}} {{smaller block|Then Mason voiced the argument that is as applicable in the mid-20th century as it was toward the end of the 18th:}} {{smaller block|“Is it to be supposed that one national government will suit so extensive a country, embracing so many climates, and containing inhabitants so very different in manners, habits, and customs? It is ascertained, by history, that there never was a government over a very extensive country without destroying the liberties of the people. * * * Popular governments can only exist in small territories.”}} {{smaller block|On Thursday, June 5, Pendleton undertook to respond to Henry and to Mason. Was the proposed government, he inquired, truly a consolidated government? Of course not. “If this be such a government, I will confess, with my worthy friend, that it is inadmissible. * * *” The proposed Federal Government, he said, “extends to the general purposes of the Union. It does not intermeddle with the local, particular affairs of the States. * * * It is the interest of the Federal to preserve the State governments; upon the latter the existence of the former depends. * * * I wonder how any gentleman, reflecting on the subject, could have conceived an idea of the possibility of the latter.”}} {{smaller block|Henry conceived it. He conceived it very clearly. The proposed Constitution, he felt, was “extremely pernicious, impolitic and dangerous.” He saw no jeopardy to the people in the Articles of Confederation; he saw great jeopardy in this new Constitution. And he had this to say:}} {{smaller block|“We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation. We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: By that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, ts about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism.”}} {{smaller block|And note this prophetic observation:}} {{smaller block|“There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?”}} {{smaller block|What indeed? What have these ideal checks and balances availed the States in the 20th century? Henry saw the empty prospect: “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints toward monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American?”}} {{smaller block|It was monarchy, ''per se'', that Henry foresaw. And it was despotism at the hands of a general government that he feared.}} {{smaller block|“What are your checks in this Government?” he kept asking.}} {{smaller block|No one ever answered him accurately, though half a dozen members of the Convention undertook to refute Henry and to allay his apprehensions. Randolph, replying to the objection that the country soon would be too large for effective government from the capital, commented that “no extent on earth seems to me too great,” but he added, “provided the laws be wisely made and executed.” It has proved to be a large qualification.}} {{smaller block|Madison also responded to Henry’s general objection that the liberty of the people was in danger: “Since the general civilization of mankind,” he said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.”}} {{smaller block|Follow closely what Madison had to say next. He is expounding the relationship of the State and Federal Governments as he, above all men, understood it:}} {{smaller block|“Give me leave to say something of the nature of the Government. * * * There are a number of opinions; but the principal question is, whether it be a federal or consolidated government. In order to judge properly of the question before us, we must consider it minutely in its principal parts. I conceive myself that it is of a mixed nature; it is in a manner unprecedented; we cannot find one express example in the experience of the world. It stands by itself. In some respects it is a government of a federal nature; in others it is of a consolidated nature. * * * Who are parties to it?”}} {{smaller block|Note this, especially; it was quoted earlier, but it bears repetition:}} {{smaller block|“The people—but not the people as composing one great body; but the people as composing 13 sovereignties.”}} {{smaller block|Francis Corbin, one of the ablest political students of his time, then joined Madison, in soothing the growing fear that the Federal Government might one day absorb the State Governments. “The powers of the General Government,” he said, “are only of a general nature, and their object is to protect, defend, and strengthen the United States; but the internal administration of government is left to the State legisiatures, who exclusively retain such powers as will give the States the advantages of small republics, without the danger commonly attendant on the weakness of such governments.”}} {{smaller block|Henry, undaunted, straightened his red wig and returned to the debate. “That government is no more than a choice among evils,” he remarked, “is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages.” He could not accept the idea that this new government would be “a mighty benefit to us.”}} {{smaller block|“Sir, I am made of so incredulous materials, that assertions and declarations do not satisfy me. I must be convinced, sir. I shall retain my infidelity on that subject till I see our liberties secured in a manner perfectly satisfactory to my understanding.”}} {{smaller block|This exchange occurred on Friday, June 16. The following Monday, Henry renewed his assault:}} {{smaller block|“A number of characters, of the greatest eminence in this country, object to this government for its consolidating tendency. This is not imaginary. It is a formidable reality. If consolidation proves to be as mischievous to this country as it has been to other countries, what will the poor inhabitants of this country do? This government will operate like an ambuscade. It will destroy the State governments, and swallow the liberties of the people, without giving previous notice.”}} {{smaller block|Madison came back with fresh replies and new remonstrances. The States were safely protected, he assured the Virginia convention. And renewing the arguments he had advanced in the Federalist, “There will be an irresistible bias toward the State governments.” It was utterly improbable—almost impossible—that the Federal Government ever would encroach upon the States. “The means of influence consist in having the disposal of gifts and emoluments, and in the number of persons employed by and dependent upon a government. Will any gentleman compare the number of persons which will be employed in the General Government with the number of those which will be in the State governments? The number of dependents upon the State governments will be infinitely greater than those on the General Government. I may say, with truth, that there never was a more economical government in any age or country, nor which will require fewer hands, or give less influence.”}} {{smaller block|Pendleton again gained the floor to tackle Henry’s objection. We are told, he said, “that there will be a war between the two bodies equally our representatives, and that the State government will be destroyed, and consolidated into the General Government. I stated before, that this could not be so. The two governments act in different manners, and for different purposes—the General Government in great national concerns, in which we are interested in common with other members of the Union; the State legislature in our mere local concerns. * * * Our dearest rights—life, liberty and property—as Virginians, are still in the hands of our State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Patrick Henry remained unconvinced. His opinion and Madison’s were “diametrically opposite.” The mild-mannered Madison said the States would prevail. Henry, a dramatic and eloquent speaker, feared the Federal Government would prevail. Bring forth the Federal allurements, he cried, “and compare them with the poor, contemptible things that the State legislatures can bring forth. * * * There are rich, fat, Federal emoluments. Your rich, smug, fine, fat, Federal officers—the number of collectors of taxes and excises—will outnumber anything from the States. Who can cope with the excise man and the tax men?”}} {{smaller block|Henry did not imagine that the dual governments could be kept each within its proper orbit. “I assert that there is danger of interference,” he remarked, “because no line is drawn between the powers of the two governments, in many instances; and where there is a line, there is no check to prevent the one from encroaching upon the powers of the other. I therefore contend that they must interfere, and that this interference must subvert the State government as being less powerful. Unless your government have checks, it must inevitably terminate in the destruction of your privileges.”}} {{smaller block|William Grayson, burly veteran of the Revolution, was another member of the Virginia convention who clearly perceived the absence of effective checks and balances. “Power ought to have such checks and limitations,” he said, “as to prevent bad men from abusing it. It ought to be granted on a supposition that men will be bad; for it may eventually be so.”}} {{smaller block|Grayson was here discussing his apprehensions toward the powers vested by article III in the Supreme Court of the United States. “This Court,” he protested, “has more power than any court under heaven.” The Court’s appellate jurisdiction, especially, aroused his alarm: “What has it in view, unless to subvert the State governments?”}} Mr. President, only in the past few months this Court rendered a decision which struck down the sedition statutes in 48 States and two Territories, merely because the Federal Government had a statute on sedition. The Supreme Court held that because of that fact, the Federal Government had preempted the whole field, and struck down the State statutes on sedition. Sedition means overthrowing the Government. That is the practical effect of it. Steve Nelson, in Pennsylvania, was convicted under Pennsylvania law. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, and the Court turned him loose, on the ground that when the Federal sedition statute was enacted, that statute preempted the field. Thus it struck down all the State statutes on the subject. Forty-two States and two Territories had statutes on the subject. Judge Howard Smith, in the House, who was the author of the bill, said there was no such intention on his part when he introduced the bill. There was even a provision in the bill that the State laws should not be affected. Yet the Supreme Court struck down the sedition statutes in 42 States and two Territories. Nine men overruled the legislatures of 42 States, and would have overruled the supreme courts in 42 States if their statutes had been tested. In New York, a man named Slochower was employed by the City College of New York. The charter of the City College provides that if any schoolteacher takes refuge behind the fifth amendment, upon being asked by an official body about his Communist connections, he shall be automatically dismissed. He was questioned by an official body. He was automatically dismissed. But what happened? The Supreme Court reinstated him in his job. City College of New York cannot control its own faculty because of these nine men in Washington. Forty-eight State legislatures cannot have sedition statutes because of these nine men in Washington. Out in New Mexico a man applied for membership in the bar. A similar situation occurred in California. One of the men was admittedly a former Communist. The bar did not want him to become a member. Certainly the bar board should have discretion enough to determine whether a man had the character to be admitted. The board turned him down. In the other case the man refused to answer questions about his Communist connections. Both of those men—one a former Communist, the other tied in with the Communists—were refused licenses to practice law, one in New Mexico and the other in California. But the nine men comprising the Supreme Court ordered those boards to give the applicants their licenses. Also, in California there were 14 Communists convicted of actually organizing Communist cells. They were preaching the doctrine of communism. They were convicted in the California court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. What did that Court do? It turned five of them loose and gave the other nine a new trial. It virtually held, in fact, that one can preach communism all he wants to. So long as the organizing does not begin until a future day, it will be all right. In other words, there would have to be action to put it into effect immediately under the holding of the Court. How are we going to protect this Government? How is the FBI going to protect it? How are the people of California going to protect it when they catch people who are actually organizing Communist cells and who are advocating communism and preaching communism, and then the Supreme Court turns them loose, laying down a dangerous doctrine—and it is a dangerous doctrine to which I just referred. Then there is the Watkins case, Mr. President, which has hampered investigations by the Congress. The Supreme Court handed down a decision after Watkins had been convicted of contempt and turned him loose. The Court, in effect, held that a member of the counsel or someone who wanted to ask questions would have to explain the questions to the witness. A smart witness would never admit he understood or comprehended what was meant. In the city of Washington, Mr. President, one of the most dangerous decisions, I think, that has ever been handed down involved the man Mallory, who raped a white woman. He was caught the next day. He was caught about 2 o’clock. Along about 8 or 9 o’clock he was given a lie-detector test, and he confessed the crime and admitted that he raped the white woman. The officers could not get hold of the United States Commissioner that night, and had to wait until the next morning, about 9 o’clock. They held the admitted criminal from about 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, and in the meantime he gave a confession to the police in Washington. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. He had confessed his crime. But the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. What did those nine men do with it? They reversed the decision and said the police had held the man too long. What is going to happen in this Nation if police officers cannot hold criminals from 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, especially when those criminals have confessed to their crimes? Heretofore in judicial administration there has been no particular time fixed. A person could be held a reasonable time before arraignment. Under this decision the man would have to confess at just about the time he was arrested, because the Supreme Court held that after he is arrested he is under coercion; and because he was held that short time the Supreme Court reversed the case, and the district attorney said there would not be any use to try it again; that the evidence depended on the confession. As a result of that case, the Chief of Police in Washington said it would be very difficult to apprehend and detect criminals and arrest them hereafter and be able to make the evidence stand up in court. He called it a terrible handicap to law enforcement in such cases. Mr. President, there are other decisions the Supreme Court has handed down about which I should like to tell the Senate. The Court seems to get its greatest delight out of turning loose Communists. The record is disgraceful. The FBI, the law-enforcement agencies, police officers chase down Communists and narcotic people—and they are hard to catch. Then the Supreme Court reverses decisions and turns them loose and they walk the streets, as did the confessed rapist who was sentenced on his own confession. It is a disgrace to this Nation. Mr. President, I still think this compromise bill is unconstitutional, but with the present Supreme Court no one can predict what they will do about it. {{smaller block|It was John Marshall, who 15 years later would do so much to justify Mason’s apprehensions, who undertook to allay his fears now. The Federal Government, he insisted, certainly would not have the power “to make laws on every subject.” Could Members of the Congress make laws affecting the transfer of property, or contracts, or claims, between citizens of the same State?}} {{smaller block|“Can they go beyond the delegated powers? If they were to make a law not warranted by any of the powers enumerated, it would be considered by the judges as an infringement of the Constitution which they are to guard. They would not consider such a law as coming under their jurisdiction. They would declare it void.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall saw no danger to the States from decrees of the Supreme Court: “I hope that no gentleman will think that a State will be called at the bar of the Federal court. * * * It is not rational to suppose that the sovereign power should be dragged before a court.”}} {{smaller block|Madison, Monroe, and others joined Marshall in defending the third article. Their debate was long and detailed. Much of it was concerned with questions of pleading and practice. But after several days, they went on to other aspects of the Constitution: The prospect of judicial despotism was recognized by the few, and denied by the many.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|7. THE STATES RATIFY}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, Virginia ratified. It was a close vote. A motion to postpone ratification until amendments, in the nature of a bill of rights, could be considered by “the other States in the American confederacy,” failed by 88 to 80. Then the main question was put, and this was what Virginia agreed to. It merits careful reading:}} {{smaller block|“We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, * * * having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will; that, therefore, no right, of any denomination, can be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by the Congress, by the Senate or House of Representatives, acting in any capacity, by the President, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances in which power is given by the Constitution for those purposes; and that, among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|The vote on that main question was 89 to 79, but even that narrow margin of approval was predicated upon a gentlemen’s agreement that the Virginia convention would recommend a number of amendments, in the form of a Bill of Rights, to be presented to the first Congress. And the first of these recommended amendments reads: “That each State in the Union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|By the time Virginia completed ratification, of course her decision no longer carried compelling importance. The Virginia convention had opened on June 2, not quite 2 weeks after South Carolina, on May 23, had become the eighth State to ratify. But while the Virginians were debating the issue, New Hampshire, on June 21, had become No. 9: The new union had been formed, and the Constitution had become binding upon the nine States “ratifying the same.” It has ever been Virginia’s fate to make the right decisions, but to put off making them as long as possible.}} {{smaller block|In this consideration of State and Federal relationships, there is something to be learned from the other resolutions of ratification. The easy ones came first: Delaware came first, on December 7, 1787, “fully, freely, and entirely” approving and assenting to the Constitution; and then, in quick succession, Pennsylvania on December 12, after a bitter fight; New Jersey on December 18, and Georgia—Georgians had not even read the Constitution—on January 2, 1788. Connecticut followed a week later, with a comfortable vote of 128 to 40.}} {{smaller block|Then a month’s hiatus set in. Massachusetts did not become No. 6 until February 7, and her approval of this “explicit and solemn compact” was not unqualified:}} {{smaller block|“It is the opinion of this convention that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this commonwealth, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|It will come as no surprise that the very first amendment recommended by Massachusetts was “that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States to be by them exercised.”}} {{smaller block|Two months later, on April 28, Maryland ratified. Then there was another lapse of nearly a month before South Carolina, on May 23, became No. 8; South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.” Then South Carolina added:}} {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} {{smaller block|New Hampshire, in voting its approval on June 21, closely paralleled the action of Massachusetts, but New Hampshire’s declaration as to reserved powers was even more explicit. The people of New Hampshire wanted it understood that all powers not “expressly and particularly delegated” were reserved.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield. Mr. LANGER. Was the action of the South Carolina convention unanimous? [Laughter.] Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall, from reading the history of that matter, whether it was unanimous or not. The action of the South Carolina convention was not unanimous when it acted on the question of adopting the resolution of ratification for the admission of South Carolina to the Union. South Carolina was the eighth State to be admitted to the Union. New Hampshire was the ninth. New Hampshire’s action resulted in the formation of the Union; ratification by nine States was required in order to form the Union. After that, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution and became members of the Union. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I am not sure whether the action by the South Carolina convention was unanimous or not. Mr. LANGER. I know the Senator from South Carolina, who has been a very distinguished governor of his State, is very well informed in regard to such matters. Mr. THURMOND. As stated in the book, The Sovereign States— {{smaller block|South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.”}} Then South Carolina added: {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} I construe that declaration to be part of the resolution of ratification, which was not adopted unanimously. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have been glad, Mr. President, to have the Senator from North Dakota ask these questions. Mr. President, a few years ago, when I was a young State senator, I made a commencement address in another county, about 40 miles from my home. The commencement was held in a long school building in which the acoustics were very bad. People in the rear could not hear, and looked as if they were going to sleep—and maybe they were. So I raised my voice, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that I am speaking for the future citizens of South Carolina.” By raising my voice, I woke up the people in the rear of the room; and one fellow rose up, shook his head, and said, “Well, brother, if you speak much longer, they will soon be here, too.” [Laughter.] Mr. President, I feel so good that I believe I could speak quite a long time. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I felt it my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort to emphasize the dangers of this bill. I began speaking at 8:50 last night. It is now 5 minutes after 9. I shall conclude my remarks in a very few minutes. Mr. President, in closing, I desire to remind the Senate that every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote; and the Federal Government has a statute which protects the right to vote. In my opinion, Mr. President, this bill is unconstitutional, for the reasons I have stated during this debate. This so-called compromise, which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives, permits a Federal judge to decide whether he will try one who is charged with criminal contempt, or whether he will permit him to be tried by a jury. The bill further provides a Federal judge with the discretionary power—if he does not try the person without a jury—to decide what punishment he will impose. If he imposes a fine greater than $300 or imprisonment for more than 45 days, the defendant can then demand a jury trial. That process could result in two trials in the case of a defendant charged with criminal contempt. I believe that would be unconstitutional. Under our system of jurisprudence, a man can never be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense. Furthermore, if a judge should find such a person guilty, as a result of the first trial, we can realize what effect that would have on the jury which would be used in the second trial. Mr. President, I should like to remind the Senate of the decision I have cited today, which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That decision says criminal contempt is a crime. The Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The Constitution makes no exceptions. The pending bill, which has come to the Senate from the House of Representatives, has now been amended in such a way that it could not conform to the Constitution. Mr. President, in spite of the great amount of debate and discussion which previously have taken place on the subject of House bill 6127, I felt that this bill was of such importance to the citizens of the United States that it was my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort again to emphasize the dangers of the bill. I have spoken several times on it before. Mr. President, I wish to say that my action was taken entirely on my own volition. I believe that every Senator must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in connection with such matters. I do not believe that the action of any other Senator should be judged according to the action I have taken. Mr. President, if I have helped to bring home to the American people, the citizens of this Nation, the heartfelt conviction which I hold, namely, that this bill is unwise, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, then I shall have done what I believe to be my duty. I should like to believe that some have been convinced by my arguments, and that my arguments have been accepted on the basis on which I intended them to be accepted—as arguments against what I am convinced is bad proposed legislation, proposed legislation which never should have been introduced, and which never should be approved by the Senate. Mr. President, I urge every Member of this body to consider this bill most carefully. I hope the Senate will see fit to kill it. I expect to vote against the bill. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to the officials of the Senate, to those who have come in to listen to this debate, to the various Senators who have listened to this debate from time to time; to the clerks and the attachés, and to all who did everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible during the 24 hours and 22 minutes I have spoken. Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for these courtesies, and again I want to thank the Presiding Officer and the others for their courtesies extended to me, and with this I now give up the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. SMATHERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the rollcall be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. </div> {{PD-USGov}} 8ch2lrglaqmqkfjxsh7475bz74o3gax 12507573 12507568 2022-07-24T23:46:11Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header |title=Strom Thurmond filibuster on the Civil Rights Act of 1957 |author=Strom Thurmond |section= |previous= |next= |year=1957 |notes=Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against certain provisions of the proposed Civil Rights Act of 1957, at 24 hours, 18 minutes in length, was the longest ever given in the U.

Mr. President, earlier this morning we had scheduled speakers for the day, and attempted to estimate the number of speakers. In connection with the next speaker, we had estimated that we would reach him about 9 o’clock. We are running a little ahead of schedule. Therefore, there are no speakers available at this time. We do not desire to have a vote on the bill until every Senator has had an opportunity to express himself, and we do not wish to take advantage of any Senator, or inconvenience any Senator more than is necessary. Therefore I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess until 8:45 p. m. At 8:45 p. m. we will reconvene and I shall suggest the absence of a quorum. I assume that by 9 o’clock the speaker will be ready to proceed. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Texas? There being no objection, the Senate (at 7 o’clock and 38 minutes p. m.) took a recess until 8:45 p. m. {{c|{{asc|AFTER RECESS}}}} On the expiration of the recess, the Senate reassembled, when called to order by the Vice President. Mr. McNAMARA. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum. The VICE PRESIDENT. The Secretary will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. McNAMARA. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise to speak against the so-called voting-right bill H. R. 6127, which bill was passed by the House of Representatives. It came to the Senate without being referred to a committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar, which is something unusual and out of ordinary procedure. The bill was then amended by the Senate and returned to the House, after which time the House amended it again by adopting what was called a compromise. The compromise as well as the bill is entirely unreasonable, and I hope that the Senate will not pass the bill. There are mainly three reasons why I feel the bill should not be passed. The first is that it is unnecessary. {{c|{{asc|STATE LEGISLATION PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS}}}} Every State has enacted some legislation making it unlawful to intimidate a voter or to hinder him in the exercising of his voting rights.

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Clark}} in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Chair cannot hear the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have read the election laws of every State in the Union, from Alabama to Wyoming, showing that the States now have, on their statute books and in their constitutions, provisions to protect the right to vote. The accuracy of the statutes which I have just recited is confirmed by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress. No one can say that any State, from Alabama through Wyoming, does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. The bill before the Senate is called a right-to-vote bill. Why is it called that? Every State has statutes to protect the right to vote. The sovereign States are protecting their citizens in the right to vote. Yet there is a big cry and a big hue about a voting law. As a matter of fact, the only thing that instigated this bill was the desire of both parties, the Democratic and the Republican, to play to minority votes. That is the purpose of the bill. It is purely political. Why do we need a Federal law when every State has a statute to protect the right to vote? And who is in a better position to protect the right to vote than the officials of the States? Suppose the voting laws of all the States were abrogated and violated. Does the Federal Government have a police system which would enable it to send officials into every State to police the election laws of every State? If so, it would change our entire conception of the Government of this Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written in 1789, in Philadelphia. It was ratified by nine Colonies which made them States and created the Union; 2 years later the Bill of Rights was adopted; and in the 10th amendment, which is a part of the Bill of Rights, it is provided that all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. There is nothing in the Constitution that delegates those powers to the Federal Government. Therefore, those rights are reserved to the States, and it is unlawful and unconstitutional for Congress to attempt to pass a law that will set up an administration which will attempt to bring about a policing of all the elections in all the 48 States of this Nation. Some persons say, “Well, the States won’t enforce the voting laws. We have got to have a Federal law. Some States deny the vote to citizens.” I question that. Has there been a single instance brought before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United States and proof presented that anyone has been denied the vote? From my understanding, and from the minority report which was submitted by some members of the Judiciary Committee, that has not been the case. So why does the Federal Government want to enter a field into which it has no constitutional authority to enter? As a matter of fact, the Federal Government already has a statute, I say to those who say the States are not protecting the right to vote. I am wondering if the Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives have overlooked the Federal statute. I shall read that statute, so that Senators can know that we now have a Federal statute to protect the right to vote. I shall read several provisions. The last one is the most applicable, and one on which I shall comment a little more, but I want to start with chapter 29 of title 18 of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. That is the United States Code, Criminal Code, and Criminal Procedure. Chapter 29 is entitled “Elections and Political Activities.” Section 591 reads: {{smaller block|Definitions:}} {{smaller block|When used in sections 597, 599, 602, 609, and 610 of this title—}} {{smaller block|The term “election” includes a general or special election, but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party.}} But under a decision of the Supreme Court, in a case which went up from my own State of South Carolina, it was held that the primary election was a part of the election machinery; and the decision was rendered on that subject. {{smaller block|The term “candidate” means an individual whose name is presented for election as Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress of the United States, whether or not such individual is elected;}} {{smaller block|The term “political committee” includes any committee, association, or organization which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the election of candidates or presidential and vice presidential electors (1) in two or more States, or (2) whether or not in more than one State if such committee, association, or organization (other than a duly organized State or local committee of a political party) is a branch or subsidiary of a national committee, association, or organization;}} {{smaller block|The term “contribution” includes a gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make a contribution, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “expenditure” includes a payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make an expenditure, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “person” or the term “whoever” includes an individual, partnership, committee, association, corporation, and any other organization or group of persons;}} {{smaller block|The term “State” includes Territory and possession of the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.)}} I shall now comment on section 594, which is entitled “Intimidation of Voters.” I cannot help but believe that Members of Congress in some way must have overlooked this statute, if they believe a Federal statute is essential on this subject, which I do not. This is the way the section reads: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 594. Intimidation of voters.}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} Mr. President, I do not think this statute is constitutional, in section 594, because I think the question is a matter reserved to the States. Since evidently there were people who thought the Federal Government did need to enter this field and who must have felt that it would not be unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enter it, this section was adopted. This section provides, as I have just read, for the punishment of anyone who attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. What is the purpose of the bill now under consideration, H. R. 6127? It is called the right-to-vote bill. The Federal statute here, in section 594 of title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, is just as plain on the subject as it can be. There is the Federal statute on the question of voting. I do not like it, because I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field, but we have the statute, in section 594. If there has been any violation of voting rights in this country, if there has been a single case of any person who claims that he has been intimidated or threatened or coerced to vote, the Federal Government has the power, under that statute, to punish anyone if he is convicted for such offense. Either this statute has not been enforced, if there have been violations, or else there have been no violations. So when the Federal Government asks that another voting law be passed, such as House bill 6127, it is admitting 1 of 2 things: Either there have been no violations of the rights of people to vote, or the Justice Department is not enforcing the law on this subject. I do not see what good it would do to enact another statute. What good would another statute do, if we have a statute already on the books? I have heard of no cases brought under this statute. There must not have been any violations. If there have been violations, the Federal Government has failed to prosecute violators, which it could do under this law. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 595.

That is in the Federal statutes. Again I ask, Why does the Congress need to pass another law when we have a law, a law with teeth in it, a law that provides a punishment of as much as $1,000 or imprisonment for as long as one year, or both? In other words, under this statute, the Federal Government, through the Justice Department, can prosecute any person who intimidates, threatens, or coerces another person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. If we have that kind of law on the books now, why do we need another law? As I stated a few moments ago, I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field. But they have entered this field, and laws on the subject have been enacted. Section 594 gives the Federal Government all the authority it needs to protect the right to vote in any State of this Nation. Section 594 makes provision for specific punishment if anyone violates the section and attempts to deny the right to vote, or threatens, intimidates, or coerces one in his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. So with every State in the Nation having laws on the subject to protect the right to vote, and with the Federal Government having laws on this subject to protect the right to vote, why do we need to pass another bill, another bill which is unconstitutional, another bill which violates the Constitution of the United States? I will come to that later on in my address. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. I am going to take up after a while a decision which shows that criminal contempt is a crime, and if criminal contempt is a crime, then it falls within the category of the provision of the Constitution of the United States which says that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It does not specify by degree. If he is entitled to a jury trial, he is entitled to it. The Senate passed a bill with an amendment providing for jury trial. The bill went back to the House, the House amended it, and added a provision that the judge in his discretion could try the case if the punishment was not over 45 days or a fine of $300. That is not what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not provide that a man is entitled to a jury trial under certain conditions, if the House had fixed the fine at $1 instead of $300 and denied a man the right of a trial by jury, in my opinion it still would have been unconstitutional. I shall develop that more as my address goes on. Mr. President, I shall now take up specific points of the proposed compromise on the jury trial provisions of H. R. 6127, so as to point out the lack of constitutionality of the provisions in connection with contempt of court proceedings. A so-called compromise has been reached among advocates of civil-rights legislation—H. R. 6127—whereby a jury trial would be given in certain criminal contempts of Federal courts. The purpose of this speech is to point out the objectionable features of the proposed compromise and to show conclusively that it is unconstitutional. The proposed jury-trial amendment, being part V of H. R. 6127, reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|PART V—TO PROVIDE TRIAL BY JURY FOR PROCEEDINGS TO PUNISH CRIMINAL CONTEMPTS OF COURT ARISING OUT OF CIVIL-RIGHTS CASES AND TO AMEND THE JUDICIAL CODE RELATING TO FEDERAL JURY QUALIFICATIONS}}}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 151. In all cases of criminal contempt arising under the provisions of this act, the accused, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both: ''Provided, however'', That in case the accused is a natural person the fine to be paid shall not exceed the sum of $1,000, nor shall imprisonment exceed the term of 6 months: ''Provided further'', That in any such proceeding for criminal contempt, at the discretion of the judge, the accused may be tried with or without a jury: ''Provided further, however'', That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of the $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury, which shall conform as near as may be to the practice in other criminal cases.}} {{smaller block|This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders, or process of the court.}} {{smaller block|Nor shall anything herein or in any other provision of law be construed to deprive courts of their power, by civil contempt proceedings, without a jury, to secure compliance with or to prevent obstruction of, as distinguished from punishment for violations of, any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of the court in accordance with the prevailing usages of law and equity, including the power of detention.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 152. Section 1861, title 28, of the United States Code is hereby amended to read as follows:}} {{smaller block|“1861. Qualifications of Federal jurors.}} {{smaller block|“Any citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years and who has resided for a period of 1 year within the judicial district, is competent to serve as a grand or petit juror unless:}} {{smaller block|“(1) He has been convicted in a State or Federal court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty.}} {{smaller block|“(2) He is unable to read, write, speak, and understand the English language.}} {{smaller block|“(3) He is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmities, to render efficient jury service.”}} Mr. President, those are the provisions of the so-called compromise. I wish to have all other Members of the Senate and all other citizens of these United States know just what the compromise provides. First, Mr. President, this amendment is clearly unconstitutional because of vagueness. It is an established principle of constitutional law that crimes must be clearly defined. If this amendment were enacted, persons charged with contempt would be deprived of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th amendment to the Federal Constitution. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under a statute by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. This point is clearly brought out in Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, in the second edition, third volume, at page 1727. Here is what this great authority on the Constitution has to say on this point: {{smaller block|1142. Crimes must be clearly defined.}} {{smaller block|Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under statutes by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. “A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.” ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' (269 U. S. 385).}} The first sentence of the proposed amendment—section 151—refers to criminal contempt and provides for punishment upon conviction. The first ''proviso'' of the first sentence refers to natural persons; and for such natural persons, the fine is limited to $1,000 or—in the alternative—imprisonment is limited to 6 months. This first ''proviso'' is obviously drafted to bring the offense within the present definition of “misdemeanor,” as classified by the Congress in the adoption of title 18 of the United States Code on June 25, 1948. Section 1 of title 18, United States Code, classifies offenses against the United States as follows: {{smaller block|1. Offenses classified:}} {{smaller block|Notwithstanding any act of Congress to the contrary:}} {{smaller block|(1) Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year is a felony.}} {{smaller block|(2) Any other offense is a misdemeanor.}} {{smaller block|(3) Any misdemeanor, the penalty for which does not exceed imprisonment for a period of 6 months or a fine of not more than $500, or both, is a petty offense.}} The second ''proviso'' of the first sentence still refers to criminal contempt, and vests in the Federal district judge the discretion to determine whether the person accused of contempt is to be tried with or without a jury. The third proviso of the first sentence, still referring only to criminal contempts, says that where the district judge proceeds summarily—without benefit of a jury—to convict the accused and fine him or her for more than $300 or imprison him or her for more than 45 days, then the person so convicted—fined or imprisoned—may demand a trial ''de novo''. It is assumed that trial ''de novo'' contemplates a trial anew of the entire controversy, including the hearing of evidence, as though no previous action had been taken. In ''Pittsburgh S. S. Co.'' v. ''Brown'' ((1948 Ct. App. Ill.) 171 Fed. 2d. 175, 177), “trial ''de novo''” is defined as an entirely new trial, but that was a civil case. The term “trial ''de novo''” nowhere appears in criminal cases referred to in volume 42 A, Words and Phrases, 1952 edition or 1957 supplement. The second sentence of the amendment, without any reference to “criminal contempt” or without defining or differentiating between “criminal contempt” and “civil contempt,” proceeds to make the provisions of the first sentence inapplicable to those contempts “committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice” and likewise inapplicable to “misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.” In other words, this second sentence deals with certain “contempts” and with “misbehavior of any officers of the court” and excludes such “contempts” and “misbehavior of any officer of the court” from the provisions of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. In other words, the second sentence says that if any contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice, it is not dealt with in the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. Likewise excluded from coverage by the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127—would be “the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court” in respect to any writ, order, or process of court issued presumably under authority of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. The last sentence of the amendment—section 151—simply tries to restate the proposition now appearing in section 401 of title 18, United States Code, that a court of the United States has power to punish contempts of its authority. However, in restating that proposition, this last sentence refers to “civil contempts,” whereas section 401 refers to “contempt of its”—the court’s—“authority.” Thus we see the last sentence of the amendment, section 151, refers to “civil contempt,” as distinguished from the first sentence, which deals with “criminal contempt.” Nowhere in the amendment is any definition given of either “criminal contempt” or “civil contempt;” nor has Congress ever attempted to draw any such distinction. The sole provision attempting to draw a distinction between criminal and civil contempt is contained in rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in the requirement that the notice with respect to a criminal contempt shall describe it as such. The Advisory Committee on Rules, appointed by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the act of June 29, 1940—Fifty-fourth United States Statutes at Large, page 686—to assist in the preparation of rules of pleading, in their notes indicate that the requirement of notice written into rule 42 (b) was “intended to obviate the frequent confusion between criminal and civil contempt proceedings” pursuant to the suggestion made in ''McCann'' v. ''New York Stock Exchange'' ((2d Cir., 1935) 80 F. 2d 211). See Civil and Criminal Contempt in the Federal Courts, report of Los Angeles Bar Association, 17 Federal Rules Decisions 167–182—1955. The Supreme Court itself has belabored the distinction between civil and criminal contempts. For the Court’s distinction see ''Bessette'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' ((1904) 194 U.S. 324, 328). A contempt statute certainly comes within the due process of law requirements of the Constitution. To substantiate this point, I refer again to Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, page 1727, section 1141. In this section Willoughby points out that a contempt which is not committed in open court does require due process of law for the defendant. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, held on April 13, 1925, that all the guaranties of due process of law are available to a person charged with contempt. ''Cooke'' v. ''United States'' ((1925) 267 U.S. 517.) Thus it is quite clear that the amendment—section 151—as now drafted, would subject a person to criminal prosecution for a statutory offense so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable him to determine whether or not he is committing that offense. ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' ((1926) 269 U. S. 385); ''International Harvester Co.'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 216); ''Collins'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 634). Second. This amendment is unconstitutional, in violation of the fifth amendment prohibiting double jeopardy. That provision of the amendment which permits the accused to be tried a second time by a jury for the same offense following conviction in a summary proceeding violates the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” In ''ex parte'' Grossman the Supreme Court stated that contempt is an “offense” within the meaning of the pardoning power of the President granted in article II, section 2, clause 1 of the enumerated powers of the President. Clause 1 declares the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons of offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Chief Justice Taft in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1925) 267 U. S. 87, 107) quoting ''Myers'' v. ''United States'' ((1924) 264 U. S. 95, 104–105). If contempt is an offense when it comes to the pardoning power of the President, it certainly is an offense under the fifth amendment. Thus reading the language of the amendment—section 151—''in pari materia'' with the decisions in ''ex parte'' Grossman and ''Myers'' against ''United States'', for the Congress to grant a second trial following conviction, with the same defendant, the same charges, and the same evidence, would place the defendant in double jeopardy. The proposal—section 151—even if it were not in violation of the fifth amendment, would place Congress in the position of gambling with the rights of our citizens. Suppose a judge tries a man or woman and finds the person guilty. The press reports this fact to the public and such cases are bound to stir the public interest. The person so convicted is then tried again on the same evidence. Any jury is bound to be influenced. In addition, what basis or standard of conduct is to be the determining factor as to whether the judge imposes the lesser fine or sentence and lets his verdict stand or imposes the greater fine or punishment and moves the case along to a jury trial. There would be no uniformity in the application of the proposed statute—section 151—and the entire procedure would be awkward, cumbersome, and impracticable. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', a note is made of an interruption in Mr. Thurmond’s speech, regarding the results of a special election for a Senator, upon which several pages of the ''Record'' are used to record the reading of documents and the discussion of matters relevant thereto. As this is not a constituent portion of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, it is absent from this record. However, following this notice, several other parliamentary procedures are maintained, and other matters are dealt with; the ''Record'' then replaces the remainder of Mr. Thurmond’s speech to the records of the succeeding day, beginning on p. 16383. This record begins again from this section.'' Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I now wish to take up Chief Justice Taft’s opinion on jury trials in contempt cases. Considerable has been said about what Chief Justice Taft said concerning contempt and jury trials. Chief Justice Taft was at one time President of the United States, and he was Chief Justice of the United States. He was a great man and a great American. His opinions are highly revered, but some of his opinions have been quoted out of context or when not applicable. I wish to take up at this time his opinions on jury trials in contempt cases. On June 5, 1957, at his White House press conference, President Eisenhower, in answer to a question asked by the National Negro Press Association as to how he stood on the jury-trial amendment to the so-called civil-rights bill, quoted President Taft, as being opposed to a jury trial in contempt cases. President Eisenhower stated that Mr. Taft made this statement when he was President in 1908 and there is no evidence that he ever changed his mind. In the first place the statement was not made by Mr. Taft while President. The statement was made by Mr. Taft in a political speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 28, 1908, in acceptance of the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Taft at the time was Secretary of War. He did not become President until March 4, 1909. In this political speech Mr. Taft also said a trial by jury in contempt cases was never known in the history of the jurisprudence of England, or America, except in the constitution of Oklahoma. See Presidential Addresses and Papers, William H. Taft, 1910 ed., page 26. Also in this speech Mr. Taft said the popular impression that a judge, in punishing for contempt of his own order, may be affected by a personal feeling was unfounded. Did Mr. Taft change his mind when he became Chief Justice? He most assuredly did. He not only changed his mind on the subject of whether jury trials were had at common law in contempt cases but also changed his mind about judges having personal vindictiveness in contempt orders. While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Taft delivered the opinion in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1924) 267 U. S. 87) and cited eight cases at common law to show that in England a jury trial was had in contempt cases. This decision was rendered by him in upholding a pardon granted by President Hoover to a man imprisoned by a United States district judge in Illinois for contempt in a summary proceeding. Chief Justice Taft declared at page 118 of volume 267, United States Reports: {{smaller block|The King of England before our Revolution, in the exercise of his prerogative, had always exercised the power to pardon contempts of court, just as he did ordinary crimes and misdemeanors and as he has done to the present day. In the mind of a common-law lawyer of the 18th century the word pardon included within its scope the ending by the King’s grace of the punishment of such derelictions, whether it was imposed by the court without a jury or upon indictment, for both forms of trial for contempts were had. ''Thomas of Chartham'' v. ''Benet of Stamford'' ((1313), 24 Selden Society, 185); ''Fulwood'' v. ''Fulwood'' ((1585), Toothill, 46); ''Rex'' v. ''Buckenham'' ((1665), 1 Deble 751, 707, 852); Anonymous (1674), Cases in Chancery (238); ''King and Codrington'' v. ''Rodmap'' ((1630), Cr. Car. 198); ''Bartram'' v. ''Dannett'' ((1676), Finch, 253); ''Phipps'' v. ''Earl of Angelsea'' ((1721), 1 Peere Williams, 696).}} In all probability Mr. Taft was induced to recognize the fact that jury trials were customarily had at common law in contempts as a result of research conducted by the distinguished historian of English law, Mr. W. S. Holdsworth. The efforts of this great historian were first made public in 1909 after Mr. Taft had made his earlier statement. Mr. Holdsworth declared that the only cases in which contempts were punished summarily was where the contemnor confessed his guilt. If he did not confess the accused was tried by the ordinary course of law which meant trial by jury. To quote Mr. Holdsworth: {{smaller block|A History of English Law, volume III., pages 392–393. * * * But all through the medieval period, and long afterwards, the courts, though they might attack persons who were guilty of contempts of court, could not punish them summarily. Unless they confessed their guilt, they must be regularly indicted and convicted. Mr. Fox has given a list of 40 cases of various contempts—insults to the judges, an assault on the attorney general, beating jurors, striking a witness, trampling on a writ of prohibition—in all of which the offender was tried by the ordinary course of law. That this was the correct course to pursue was stated by Anderson, C. J., in 1599.}} In another opinion while Chief Justice Mr. Taft changed his mind about the immunity of Federal judges from vindictiveness in issuing contempt orders. On November 19, 1923, in a concurring opinion in ''Craig'' v. ''Hecht'' (263 U. S. 255 at p. 279), the Chief Justice said: {{smaller block|The delicacy there is in the judge’s deciding whether an attack upon his own judicial action is mere criticism or real obstruction, and the possibility that impulse may incline his view to personal vindication, are manifest. But the law gives the person convicted of contempt in such a case the right to have the whole question on facts and law reviewed by three judges of the circuit court of appeals who have had no part in the proceedings, and if not successful in that court, to apply to this Court for an opportunity for a similar review here.}} Mr. President, on June 10, 1957, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of [[Reid v. Covert (354 U.S. 1)|''Reid'' against ''Covert'']]. Since this opinion deals with the question “the right of trial by jury,” I think it is advisable for the Senate to consider this decision of the Supreme Court. I shall read a number of pages from the opinion and a concurring opinion by Justice Frankfurter. Some of the material in this opinion necessarily discusses the background of the cases. However, I believe it appropriate to read this material because it is necessary to a full understanding of this decision which upheld the constitutional right of trial by jury which H. R. 6127 would deny under certain conditions. I read from the opinion of the Court: {{smaller block|SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.''

They call into question the role of the military under our system of government. They involve the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States thereby depriving them of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. These cases are particularly significant because for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution wives of soldiers have been denied trial by jury in a court of law and forced to trial before courts-martial.}} {{smaller block|In No. 701 Mrs. Clarice Covert killed her husband, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, at an airbase in England. Mrs. Covert, who was not a member of the armed services, was residing on the base with her husband at the time. She was tried by a court-martial for murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The trial was on charges preferred by Air Force personnel and the court-martial was composed of Air Force officers. The court-martial asserted jurisdiction over Mrs. Covert under Article 2 (11) of the UCMJ, which provides:}} {{smaller block|“The following persons are subject to this code:}} {{smaller block|“(11) Subject to the provisions of any treaty or agreement to which the United States is or may be a party or to any accepted rule of international law, all persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces without the continental limits of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|Counsel for Mrs. Covert contended that she was insane at the time she killed her husband, but the military tribunal found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed by the Air Force Board of Reviews (16 CMR 465) but was reversed by the Court of Military Appeals (6 USCMA 48), because of prejudicial errors concerning the defense of insanity. While Mrs. Covert was being held in this country pending a proposed retrial by court-martial in the District of Columbia, her counsel petitioned the district court for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to set her free on the ground that the Constitution forbade her trial by military authorities. Construing this court’s decision in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), as holding that “a civilian is entitled to a civilian trial,” the district court held that Mrs. Covert could not be tried by court-martial and ordered her released from custody. The Government appealed directly to this court under, title 28, United States Code, section 1252. See Three Hundred and Fiftieth United States Reports, page 985.}} {{smaller block|In No. 713 Mrs. Dorothy Smith killed her husband, an Army officer, at a post in Japan where she was living with him. She was tried for murder by a court-martial and despite considerable evidence that she was insane was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The judgment was approved by the Army Board of Review (10 CMR 350, 13 CMR 307), and the Court of Military Appeals (5 USCMA 314). Mrs. Smith was then confined in a Federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Her father, respondent here, filed a petition for ''habeas corpus'' in a district court for West Virginia. The petition charged that the court-martial was without jurisdiction because article 2 (11) of the UCMJ was unconstitutional insofar as it authorized the trial of civilian dependents accompanying servicemen overseas. The district court refused to issue the writ (137 F. Supp. 806), and while an appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit we granted ''certiorari'' at the request of the Government (350 U. S. 986).}} {{smaller block|The two cases were consolidated and argued last term and a majority of the Court, with 3 Justices dissenting and 1 reserving opinion, held that military trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert for their alleged offenses was constitutional. Three hundred and fifty-first United States Reports, page 470, 487. The majority held that the provisions of article III and the fifth and sixth amendments which require that crimes be tried by a jury after indictment by a grand jury did not protect an American citizen when he was tried by the American Government in foreign lands for offenses committed there and that Congress could provide for the trial of such offenses in any manner it saw fit so long as the procedures established were reasonable and consonant with due process. The opinion then went on to express the view that military trials, as now practiced, were not unreasonable or arbitrary when applied to dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces overseas. In reaching their conclusion the majority found it unnecessary to consider the power of Congress “to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces” under article I of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Subsequently, the Court granted a petition for rehearing. Three Hundred and Fifty-second United States Reports, page 901. Now, after further argument and consideration, we conclude that the previous decisions cannot be permitted to stand. We hold that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert could not constitutionally be tried by military authorities.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|I}}}} {{smaller block|At the beginning we reject the idea that when the United States acts against citizens abroad it can do so free of the Bill of Rights. The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution. When the Government reaches out to punish a citizen who is abroad, the shield which the Bill of Rights and other parts of the Constitution provide to protect his life and liberty should not be stripped away just because he happens to be in another land. This is not a novel concept. To the contrary, it is as old as government. It was recognized long before Paul successfully invoked his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in strict accordance with Roman law. And many centuries later an English historian wrote:}} {{smaller block|“In a settled colony the inhabitants have all the rights of Englishmen. They take with them, in the first place, that which no Englishman can by expatriation put off, namely, allegiance to the Crown, the duty of obedience to the lawful commands of the Sovereign, and obedience to the laws which Parliament may think proper to make with reference to such a colony. But, on the other hand, they take with them all the rights and liberties of British subjects; all the rights and liberties as against the prerogative of the Crown, which they would enjoy in this county.”}} {{smaller block|The rights and liberties which citizens of our country enjoy are not protected by custom and tradition alone, they have been jealously preserved from the encroachments of Government by express provisions of our written Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Among those provisions, article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments are directly relevant to these cases. Article III, section 2, lays down the rule that—}} {{smaller block|“The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth amendment declares:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|And the sixth amendment provides:}} {{smaller block|“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”}} {{smaller block|The language of article III, section 2, manifests that constitutional protections for the individual were designed to restrict the United States Government when it acts outside of this country, as well as here at home. After declaring that all criminal trials must be by jury, the section states that when a crime is “not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” If this language is permitted to have its obvious meaning, section 2 is applicable to criminal trials outside of the States as a group without regard to where the offense is committed or the trial held. From the very first Congress, Federal statutes have implemented the provisions of section 2 by providing for trial of murder and other crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of any State “in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may first be brought.” The fifth and sixth amendments, like article III, section 2, are also all inclusive with their sweeping references to “no person” and to “all criminal prosecutions.”}} {{smaller block|This Court and other Federal courts have held or asserted that various constitutional limitations apply to the Government when it acts outside the continental United States. While it has been suggested that only those constitutional rights which are “fundamental” protect Americans abroad, we can find no warrant, in logic or otherwise, for picking and choosing among the remarkable collection of “Thou shalt nots” which were explicitly fastened on all departments and agencies of the Federal Government by the Constitution and its amendments. Moreover, in view of our heritage and the history of the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it seems peculiarly anomalous to say that trial before a civilian judge and by an independent jury picked from the common citizenry are not fundamental rights. As Blackstone wrote in his Commentaries:}} {{smaller block|“The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * [I]t is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals.”}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} {{smaller block|The keystone of supporting authorities mustered by the Court’s opinion last June to justify its holding that article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments did not apply abroad was ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). The Ross case is one of those cases that cannot be understood except in its peculiar setting; even then, it seems highly unlikely that a similar result would be reached to-day. Ross was serving as a seaman on an American ship in Japanese waters. He killed a ship’s officer, was seized and tried before a consular court in Japan. At that time, statutes authorized American consuls to try American citizens charged with committing crimes in Japan and certain other non-Christian countries. These statutes provided that the laws of the United States were to govern the trial except:}} {{smaller block|“Where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.”}} {{smaller block|The consular power approved in the Ross case was about as extreme and absolute as that of the potentates of the non-Christian countries to which the statutes applied. Under these statutes consuls could and did make the criminal laws, initiate charges, arrest alleged offenders, try them, and after conviction take away their liberty or their life—sometimes at the American consulate. Such a blending of executive, legislative, and judicial powers in one person or even in one branch of the Government is ordinarily regarded as the very acme of absolutism. Nevertheless, the Court sustained Ross’ conviction by the consul. It stated that constitutional protections applied “only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad.” Despite the fact that it upheld Ross’ conviction under United States laws passed pursuant to asserted constitutional authority, the Court went on to make a sweeping declaration that “[t]he Constitution can have no operation in another country.”}} {{smaller block|The Ross approach that the Constitution has no applicability abroad has long since been directly repudiated by numerous cases. That approach is obviously erroneous if the United States Government, which has no power except that granted by the Constitution, can and does try citizens for crimes committed abroad. Thus the Ross case rested, at least in substantial part, on a fundamental misconception and the most that can be said in support of the result reached there is that the consular court jurisdiction had a long history antedating the adoption of the Constitution. The Congress has recently buried the consular system of trying Americans. We are not willing to jeopardize the lives and liberties of Americans by disinterring it. At best, the Ross case should be left as a relic from a different era.}} {{smaller block|The Court’s opinion last term also relied on the Insular Cases to support its conclusion that article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments were not applicable to the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. We believe that reliance was misplaced.}} {{smaller block|The Insular Cases can be distinguished from the present cases in that they involved the power of Congress to provide rules and regulations to govern temporarily territories with wholly dissimilar traditions and institutions whereas here the basis for governmental power is American citizenship. None of these cases had anything to do with military trials and they cannot properly be used as vehicles to support an extension of military jurisdiction to civilians. Moreover, it is our judgment that neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our Government. If our foreign commitments become of such nature that the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority, or inclination, to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|II}}}} {{smaller block|At the time of Mrs. Covert’s alleged offense, an executive agreement was in effect between the United States and Great Britain which permitted United States military courts to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over offenses committed in Great Britain by American servicemen or their dependents. For its part, the United States agreed that these military courts would be willing and able to try and to punish all offenses against the laws of Great Britain by such persons. In all material respects, the same situation existed in Japan when Mrs. Smith killed her husband. Even though a court-martial does not give an accused trial by jury and other Bill of Rights protections, the Government contends that section 2(11) of the UCMJ, insofar as it authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces in Great Britain and Japan, can be sustained as legislation which is necessary and proper to carry out the United States obligations under the international agreements made with those countries. The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI., the supremacy clause of the Constitution, declares:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.”}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in article VI. make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in pursuance of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe article VI. as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and the Senate combined.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. For example, in ''Geofroy'' v. ''Riggs'' (133 U. S. 258, 267), it declared:}} {{smaller block|“The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the Government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the Government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.”}} {{smaller block|This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in ''Missouri'' v. ''Holland'' (252 U. S. 416), which is contrary to the position taken here. There the Court carefully noted that the treaty involved was not inconsistent with any specific provision of the Constitution. The Court was concerned with the 10th amendment which reserves to the States or the people all power not delegated to the National Government. To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their power to the National Government and the 10th amendment is no barrier.}} {{smaller block|In summary, we conclude that the Constitution in its entirety applied to the trials of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. Since their court-martial did not meet the requirements of article III., section 2, or the fifth and sixth amendments, we are compelled to determine if there is anything within the Constitution which authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces overseas.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|III}}}} {{smaller block|Article I., section 8, clause 14, empowers Congress “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” It has been held that this creates an exception to the normal method of trial in civilian courts as provided by the Constitution and permits Congress to authorize military trial of members of the armed services without all the safeguards given an accused by article III. and the Bill of Rights. But if the language of clause 14 is given its natural meaning, the power granted does not extend to civilians—even though they may be dependents living with servicemen on a military base. The term “land and naval forces” refers to persons who are members of the armed services and not to their civilian wives, children, and other dependents. It seems inconceivable that Mrs. Covert or Mrs. Smith could have been tried by military authorities as members of the land and naval forces had they been living on a military post in this country. Yet this constitutional term surely has the same meaning everywhere. The wives of servicemen are no more members of the land and naval forces when living at a military post in England or Japan than when living at a base in this country or in Hawaii or Alaska.}} {{smaller block|The Government argues that the necessary and proper clause, when taken in conjunction with clause 14, allows Congress to authorize the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert by military tribunals and under military law. The Government claims that the two clauses together constitute a broad grant of power without limitation authorizing Congress to subject all persons, civilians and soldiers alike, to military trial if necessary and proper to govern and regulate the land and naval forces. It was on a similar theory that Congress once went to the extreme of subjecting persons who made contracts with the military to court-martial jurisdiction with respect to frauds related to such contracts. In the only judicial test a Circuit Court held that the legislation was patently unconstitutional. ''Ex parte'' Henderson (11 Fed. Cas. 1067, No. 6349).}} {{smaller block|It is true that the Constitution expressly grants Congress power to make all rules necessary and proper to govern and regulate those persons who are serving in the land and naval forces. But the necessary and proper clause cannot operate to extend military jurisdiction to any group of persons beyond that class described in clause 14—“the land and naval forces.” Under the grand design of the Constitution civilian courts are the normal repositories of power to try persons charged with crimes against the United States. And to protect persons brought before these courts, article III. and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments establish the right to trial by jury, by indictment by a grand jury, and a number of other specific safeguards. By way of contrast the jurisdiction of military tribunals is a very limited and extraordinary jurisdiction derived from the cryptic language in article I., section 8, and, at most, was intended to be only a narrow exception to the normal and preferred method of trial in courts of law. Every extension of military jurisdiction is an encroachment on the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and, more important, acts as a deprivation of the right to jury trial and of other treasured constitutional protections. Having run up against the steadfast bulwark of the Bill of Rights, the necessary and proper clause cannot extend the scope of clause 14.}} {{smaller block|Nothing said here contravenes the rule laid down in ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, at 421), that:}} {{smaller block|“Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.”}} {{smaller block|In McCulloch this Court was confronted with the problem of determining the scope of the necessary and proper clause in a situation where no specific restraints on governmental power stood in the way. Here the problem is different. Not only does clause 14, by its terms, limit military jurisdiction to members of the land and naval forces, but article III., section 2 and the fifth and sixth amendments require that certain express safeguards, which were designed to protect persons from oppressive governmental practices, shall be given in criminal prosecutions—safeguards which cannot be given in a military trial. In the light of these as well as other constitutional provisions, and the historical background in which they were formed, military trial of civilians is inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the constitution.}} {{smaller block|Further light is reflected on the scope of clause 14 by the fifth amendment. That amendment which was adopted shortly after the Constitution reads:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|Since the exception in this amendment for cases arising in the land or naval forces was undoubtedly designed to correlate with the power granted Congress to provide for the government and regulation of the armed services, it is a persuasive and reliable indication that the authority conferred by clause 14 does not encompass persons who cannot fairly be said to be in the military service.}} {{smaller block|Even if it were possible, we need not attempt here to precisely define the boundary between civilians and members of the land and naval forces. We recognize that there might be circumstances where a person could be in the armed services for purposes of clause 14 even though he had not formally been inducted into the military or did not wear a uniform. But the wives, children, and other dependents of servicemen cannot be placed in that category, even though they may be accompanying a serviceman abroad at Government expense and receiving other benefits from the Government. We have no difficulty in saying that such persons do not lose their civilian status and their right to a civilian trial because the Government helps them live as members of a soldier’s family.}} {{smaller block|The tradition of keeping the military subordinate to civilian authority may not be so strong in the minds of this generation as it was in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. The idea that the relatives of soldiers could be denied a jury trial in a court of law and instead be tried by courts-martial under the guise of regulating the Armed Forces would have seemed incredible to those men, in whose lifetime the right of the military to try soldiers for any offenses in time of peace had only been grudgingly conceded. The founders envisioned the Army as a necessary institution, but one dangerous to liberty if not confined within its essential bounds. Their fears were rooted in history. They knew that ancient republics had been overthrown by their military leaders. They were familiar with the history of 17th century England, where Charles I. tried to govern through the army and without Parliament. During this attempt, contrary to the common law, he used courts-martial to try soldiers for certain nonmilitary offenses. This court-martialing of soldiers in peacetime evoked strong protests from Parliament. The reign of Charles I. was followed by the rigorous military rule of Oliver Cromwell. Later, James II. used the army in his fight against Parliament and the people. He promulgated articles of war (strangely enough relied on in the Government’s brief) authorizing the trial of soldiers for nonmilitary Crimes by courts-martial. This action hastened the revolution that brought William and Mary to the throne upon their agreement to abide by a bill of rights which, among other things, protected the right of trial by jury. It was against this general background that two of the greatest English jurists, Lord Chief Justice Hale and Sir William Blackstone—men who exerted considerable influence on the founders—expressed sharp hostility to any expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. For instance, Blackstone went so far as to assert:}} {{smaller block|“For martial law, which is built upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Hale observes, in truth and reality no law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the {{SIC|ony|only}} thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.”}} {{smaller block|The generation that adopted the Constitution did not distrust the military because of past history alone. Within their own lives they had seen royal governors sometimes resort to military rule. British troops were quartered in Boston at various times from 1768 until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War to support unpopular royal governors and to intimidate the local populace. The trial of soldiers by courts-martial and the interference of the military with the civil courts aroused great anxiety and antagonism not only in Massachusetts but throughout the colonies. For example, Samuel Adams in 1768 wrote:}} {{smaller block|“[I]s it not enough for us to have seen soldiers and mariners forejudged of life, and executed within the body of the county by martial law? Are citizens to be called upon, threatened, ill-used at the will of the soldiery, and put under arrest, by pretext of the law military, in breach of the fundamental rights of subjects, and contrary to the law and franchise of the land? * * * Will the spirits of people as yet unsubdued by tyranny, unawed by the menaces of arbitrary power, submit to be governed by military force? No! Let us rouse our attention to the common law—which is our birthright, our great security against all kinds of insult and oppression.”}} {{smaller block|Colonials had also seen the right to trial by jury subverted by acts of Parliament which authorized courts of admiralty to try alleged violations of the unpopular Molasses and Navigation Acts. This gave the admiralty courts jurisdiction over offenses historically triable only by a jury in a court of law and aroused great resentment throughout the colonies. As early as 1765 delegates from nine colonies meeting in New York asserted in a declaration of rights that trial by jury was the inherent and invaluable right of every citizen in the colonies.}} {{smaller block|With this background it is not surprising that the Declaration of Independence protested that George III. had affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power and that Americans had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. And those who adopted the Constitution embodied their profound fear and distrust of military power, as well as their determination to protect trial by jury, in the Constitution and its amendments. Perhaps they were aware that memories fade and hoped that in this way they could keep the people of this Nation from having to fight again and again the same old battles for individual freedom.}} {{smaller block|In the light of this history, it seems clear that the founders had no intention to permit the trial of civilians in military courts, where they would be denied jury trials and other constitutional protections, merely by giving Congress the power to make rules which were necessary and proper for the regulation of the land and naval forces. Such a latitudinarian interpretation of these clauses would be at war with the well-established purpose of the founders to keep the military strictly within its proper sphere, subordinate to civil authority. The Constitution does not say that Congress can regulate the land and naval forces and all other persons whose regulation might have some relationship to maintenance of the land and naval forces. There is no indication that the founders contemplated setting up a rival system of military courts to compete with civilian courts for jurisdiction over civilians who might have some contact or relationship with the Armed Forces. Courts-martial were not to have concurrent jurisdiction with courts of law over nonmilitary America.}} {{smaller block|On several occasions this Court has been faced with an attempted expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. ''Ex parte'' Milligan (4 Wall. 2), one of the great landmarks in this Court’s history, held that military authorities were without power to try civilians not in the military or naval service by declaring martial law in an area where the civil administration was not deposed and the courts were not closed. In a stirring passage the Court proclaimed:}} {{smaller block|“Another guaranty of freedom was broken when Milligan was denied a trial by jury. The great minds of the country have differed on the correct interpretation to be given to various provisions of the Federal Constitution; and judicial decision has been often invoked to settle their true meaning; but until recently no one ever doubted that the right of trial by jury was fortified in the organic law against the power of attack. It is now assailed; but if ideas can be expressed in words, and language has any meaning, this right—one of the most valuable in a free country—is preserved to everyone accused of crime who is not attached to the Army, or Navy, or militia in actual service.”}} {{smaller block|In ''Duncan'' v. ''Kahanamoku'' (327 U. S. 304), the Court reasserted the principles enunciated in ''Ex parte'' Milligan and reaffirmed the tradition of military subordination to civil authorities and institutions. It refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during wartime despite Government claims that the needs of defense made martial law imperative.}} {{smaller block|Just last term, this Court held in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), that military courts could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense which he had allegedly committed while in the Armed Forces. It was decided (1) that since Toth was a civilian he could not be tried by military court-martial, and (2) that since he was charged with murder, a crime in the constitutional sense, he was entitled to indictment by a grand jury, jury trial, and the other protections contained in article III., section 2 and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. The Court pointed out that trial by civilian courts was the rule for persons who were not members of the Armed Forces.}} {{smaller block|There are no supportable grounds upon which to distinguish the ''Toth'' case from the present cases. Toth, Mrs. Covert, and Mrs. Smith were all civilians. All three were American citizens. All three were tried for murder. All three alleged crimes were committed in a foreign country. The only differences were: (1) Toth was an exserviceman while they were wives of soldiers; (2) Toth was arrested in the United States while they were seized in foreign countries. If anything, Toth had closer connection with the military than the two women for his crime was committed while he was actually serving in the Air Force. Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith had never been members of the Army, had never been employed by the Army, had never served in the Army in any capacity. The Government appropriately argued in Toth that the constitutional basis for court-martialing him was clearer than for court-martialing wives who are accompanying their husbands abroad. Certainly Toth’s conduct as a soldier bears a closer relation to the maintenance of order and discipline in the Armed Forces than the conduct of these wives. The fact that Toth was arrested here while the wives were arrested in foreign countries is material only if constitutional safeguards do not shield a citizen abroad when the Government exercises its power over him. As we have said before, such a view of the Constitution is erroneous. The mere fact that these women had gone overseas with their husbands should not reduce the protection the Constitution gives them.}} {{smaller block|The Milligan, ''Duncan'', and ''Toth'' cases recognized and manifested the deeply rooted and ancient opposition in this country to the extension of military control over civilians. In each instance an effort to expand the jurisdiction of military courts to civilians was repulsed.}} {{smaller block|There have been a number of decisions in the lower Federal courts which have upheld military trial of civilians performing services for the Armed Forces in the field during time of war. To the extent that these cases can be justified, insofar as they involved trial of persons who were not members of the Armed Forces, they must rest on the Government’s war powers. In the face of an actively hostile enemy, military commanders necessarily have broad power over persons on the battlefront. From a time prior to the adoption of the Constitution the extraordinary circumstances present in an area of actual fighting have been considered sufficient to permit punishment of some civilians in that area by military courts under military rules. But neither Japan nor Great Britain could properly be said to be an area where active hostilities were underway at the time Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert committed their offenses or at the time they were tried.}} {{smaller block|The Government urges that the concept in the field should be broadened to reach dependents accompanying the military forces overseas under the conditions of world tension which exist at the present time. It points out how the war powers include authority to prepare defenses and to establish our military forces in defensive posture about the world. While we recognize that the war powers of the Congress and the Executive are broad, we reject the Government’s argument that present threats to peace permit military trial of civilians accompanying the Armed Forces overseas in an area where no actual hostilities are underway. The exigencies which have required military rule on the battlefront are not present in areas where no conflict exists. Military trial of civilians in the field is an extraordinary jurisdiction, and it should not be expanded at the expense of the Bill of Rights. We agree with Colonel Winthrop, an expert on military jurisdiction, who declared: “A statute cannot be framed by which a civilian can lawfully be made amenable to the military jurisdiction in time of peace.”}} {{smaller block|As this Court stated in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), the business of soldiers is to fight and prepare to fight wars, not to try civilians for their alleged crimes. Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions, and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks. Because of its very nature and purpose the military must place great emphasis on discipline and efficiency. Correspondingly, there has always been less emphasis in the military on protecting the rights of the individual than in civilian society and in civilian courts.}} {{smaller block|Courts-martial are typically ''ad hoc'' bodies appointed by a military officer from among his subordinates. They have always been subject to varying degrees of command influence. In essence, these tribunals are simply executive tribunals whose personnel are in the executive chain of command. Frequently, the members of the court-martial must look to the appointing officer for promotions, advantageous assignments, and efficiency ratings—in short, for their future progress in the service. Conceding to military personnel that high degree of honesty and sense of justice which nearly all of them undoubtedly have, the members of a court-martial, in the nature of things, do not and cannot have the independence of jurors drawn from the general public or of civilian judges.}} {{smaller block|We recognize that a number of improvements have been made in military justice recently by engrafting more and more of the methods of civilian courts on courts-martial. In large part these ameliorations stem from the reaction of civilians, who were inducted during the two World Wars, to their experience with military justice. Notwithstanding the recent reforms, military trial does not give an accused the same protection which exists in the civil courts. Looming far above all other deficiencies of the military trial, of course, are the absence of trial by jury before an independent judge after an indictment by a grand jury. Moreover, the reforms are merely statutory; Congress—and perhaps the President—can reinstate former practices, subject to any limitations imposed by the Constitution, whenever it desires. As yet it has not been clearly settled to what extent the Bill of Rights and other protective parts of the Constitution apply to military trials.}} {{smaller block|It must be emphasized that every person who comes within the jurisdiction of courts-martial is subject to military law—law that is substantially different from the law which governs civilian society. Military law is, in many respects, harsh law which is frequently cast in very sweeping and vague terms. It emphasizes the iron hand of discipline more that it does the even scales of justice. Moreover, it has not yet been definitely established to what extent the President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, or his delegates, can promulgate, supplement, or change substantive military law as well as the procedures of military courts in time of peace, or in time of war. In any event, Congress has given the President broad discretion to provide the rules governing military trials. For example, in these very cases a technical manual issued under the President’s name with regard to the defense of insanity in military trials was of critical importance in the convictions of Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith. If the President can provide rules of substantive law as well as procedure, then he and his military subordinates exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers with respect to those subject to military trials. Such blending of functions in one branch of the Government is the objectionable thing which the draftsmen of the Constitution endeavored to prevent by providing for the separation of governmental powers.}} {{smaller block|In summary, “it still remains true that military tribunals have not been and probably never can be constituted in such way that they can have the same kind of qualifications that the Constitution has deemed essential to fair trials of civilians in Federal courts.” In part this is attributable to the inherent differences in values and attitudes that separate the Military Establishment from civilian society. In the military, by necessity, emphasis must be placed on the security and order of the group rather than on the value and integrity of the individual.}} {{smaller block|It is urged that the expansion of military jurisdiction over civilians claimed here is only slight, and that the practical necessity for it is very great. The attitude appears to be that a slight encroachment on the Bill of Rights and other safeguards in the Constitution need cause little concern. But to hold that these wives could be tried by the military would be a tempting precedent. Slight encroachments create new boundaries from which legions of power can seek new territory to capture. “It may be that it is the obnoxious thing in its mildest and least repulsive form; but illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing in that way; namely, by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal modes of procedure. This can only be obviated by adhering to the rule that constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. A close and literal construction deprives them of half their efficacy, and leads to gradual depreciation of the right, as if it consisted more in sound than in substance. It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.” Moreover we cannot consider this encroachment a slight one. Throughout history many transgressions by the military have been called slight and have been justified as reasonable in light of the uniqueness of the times. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that today the peoples of many nations are ruled by the military.}} {{smaller block|We should not break faith with this Nation’s tradition of keeping military power subservient to civilian authority, a tradition which we believe is firmly embodied in the Constitution. The country has remained true to that faith for almost 170 years. Perhaps no group in the Nation has been truer than military men themselves. Unlike the soldiers of many other nations, they have been content to perform their military duties in defense of the Nation in every period of need and to perform those duties well without attempting to usurp power which is not theirs under our system of constitutional government.}} {{smaller block|Ours is a Government of divided authority on the assumption that in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny.

The normal method of trial of Federal offenses under the Constitution is in a civilian tribunal. Trial of offenses by way of court-martial, with all the characteristics of its procedure so different from the forms and safeguards of procedure in the conventional courts, is an exercise of exceptional jurisdiction, arising from the power granted to Congress in article I., section 8, clause 14, of the Constitution of the United States—“To make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” ''Dynes'' v. ''Hoover'', (20 How. 65); see ''Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11); Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d ed. 1896), 52. Article 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64th United States Statutes at Large, pages 107, 109, title 50, United States Code, section 532, and its predecessors were passed as an exercise of that power, and the agreements with England and Japan recognized that the jurisdiction to be exercised under those agreements was based on the relation of the persons involved to the military forces. See the agreement with Great Britain (57 Stat. 1193, E. A. S. No. 355) and the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act (1942, 5 and 6 Geo. 6, ch. 31); and the 1952 administrative agreement with Japan (3 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 3341, T. I. A. S. No. 2492).}} {{smaller block|Trial by court-martial is constitutionally permissible only for persons who can, on a fair appraisal, be regarded as falling within the authority given to Congress under article I. to regulate the “land and naval forces,” and who therefore are not protected by specific provisions of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. It is, of course, true that, at least regarding the right to a grand-jury indictment, the fifth amendment is not unmindful of the demands of military discipline. Within the scope of appropriate construction, the phrase “except in cases arising in the land and naval forces” has been assumed also to modify the guaranties of speedy and public trial by jury. And so, the problem before us is not to be answered by recourse to the literal words of this exception. The cases cannot be decided simply by saying that since these women were not in uniform, they were not “in the land and naval forces.” The Court’s function in constitutional adjudications is not exhausted by a literal reading of words. It may be tiresome, but it is nonetheless vital, to keep our judicial minds fixed on the injunction that “it is a Constitution we are expounding.” ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, 407). Although Winthrop in his treatise states that the Constitution “clearly distinguishes the military from the civil class as separate communities” and “recognizes no third class which is part civil and part military—military for a particular purpose or in a particular situation, and civil for all other purposes and in all other situations. * * *” Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d edition 1896), 145, this Court, applying appropriate methods of constitutional interpretation, has long held, and in a variety of situations, that in the exercise of a power specifically granted to it, Congress may sweep in what may be necessary to make effective the explicitly worded power. See ''Jacob Ruppert'' v. ''Caffey'' (251 U. S. 264) especially 289 and following; ''Purity Extract Co.'' v. ''Lynch'' (226 U. S. 192, 201); ''Railroad Commission'' v. ''Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy R. Co.'' (257 U. S. 563, 588). This is the significance of the necessary and proper clause, which is not to be considered so much a separate clause in article I., section 8, as an integral part of each of the preceding 17 clauses. Only thus may be avoided a strangling literalness in construing a document that is not an enumeration of static rules, but the living framework of Government designed for an undefined future. ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316); ''Hurtado'' v. ''California'' (110 U. S. 516, 530–531).}} {{smaller block|Everything that may be deemed, as the exercise of an allowable judgment by Congress, to fall fairly within the conception conveyed by the power given to Congress “to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” is constitutionally within that legislative grant and not subject to revision by the independent judgment of the Court. To be sure, every event or transaction that bears some relation to “the land and naval forces” does not ''ipso facto'' come within the tolerant conception of that legislative grant. The issue in these cases involves regard for considerations not dissimilar to those involved in a determination under the due process clause. Obviously, the practical situations before us bear some relation to the military. Yet the question for this Court is not merely whether the relation of these women to the “land and naval forces” is sufficiently close to preclude the necessity of finding that Congress has been arbitrary in its selection of a particular method of trial. For although we must look to article I., section 8, clause 14, as the immediate justifying power, it is not the only clause of the Constitution to be taken into account. The Constitution is an organic scheme of government to be dealt with as an entirety. A particular provision cannot be dissevered from the rest of the Constitution. Our conclusion in these cases therefore must take due account of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must weigh all the factors involved in these cases in order to decide whether these women dependents are so closely related to what Congress may allowably deem essential for the effective “government and regulations of the land and naval forces” that they may be subjected to court-martial jurisdiction in these capital cases, when the consequence is loss of the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|We are not concerned here even with the possibility of some alternative nonmilitary type of trial that does not contain all the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must judge only what has been enacted and what is at issue. It is the power actually asserted by Congress under article I., section 8, clause 14, that must now be adjudged in the light of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. In making this adjudication, I must emphasize that it is only the trial of civilian dependents in a capital case in time of peace that is in question. The Court has not before it, and therefore I need not intimate any opinion on, situations involving civilians, in the sense of persons not having a military status, other than dependents. Nor do we have before us a case involving a noncapital crime. This narrow delineation of the issue is merely to respect the important restrictions binding on the Court when passing on the constitutionality of an act of Congress. “In the exercise of that jurisdiction, it is bound by two rules, to which it has rigidly adhered, one, never to anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it; the other never to formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied. These rules are safe guides to sound judgment. It is the dictate of wisdom to follow them closely and carefully.” ''Steamship Co.'' v. ''Emigration Commissioners'' (113 U. S. 33, 39).}} {{smaller block|We are also not concerned here with the substantive aspects of the grant of power to Congress to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces. What conduct should be punished and what constitutes a capital case are matters for Congressional discretion, always subject, of course, to any specific restrictions of the Constitution. These cases involve the validity of procedural conditions for determining the commission of a crime in fact punishable by death. The taking of life is irrevocable. It is in capital cases especially that the balance of conflicting interests must be weighted most heavily in favor of the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Thus, in ''Powell'' v. ''Alabama'' (287 U. S. 45, 71), the fact “above all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives” led the Court to conclude that the defendants had been denied due process by the failure to allow them reasonable time to seek counsel and the failure to appoint counsel. I repeat. I do not mean to imply that the considerations that are controlling in capital cases involving civilian dependents are constitutionally irrelevant in capital cases involving civilians other than dependents or in noncapital cases involving dependents or other civilians. I do say that we are dealing here only with capital cases and civilian dependents.}} {{smaller block|The Government asserts that civilian dependents are an integral part of our Armed Forces overseas and that there is substantial military necessity for subjecting them to court-martial jurisdiction. The Government points out that civilian dependents go abroad under military auspices, live with military personnel in a military community, enjoy the privileges of military facilities, and that their conduct inevitably tends to influence military discipline.}} {{smaller block|The prosecution by court-martial for capital crimes committed by civilian dependents of members of the Armed Forces abroad is hardly to be deemed; under modern conditions, obviously appropriate to the effective exercise of the power to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces when it is a question of deciding what power is granted under article I. and, therefore, what restriction is made on article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. I do not think that the proximity, physical and social, of these women to the land and naval forces is, with due regard to all that has been put before us, so clearly demanded by the effective Government and regulation of those forces as reasonably to demonstrate a justification for court-martial jurisdiction over capital offenses.}} {{smaller block|The Government speaks of the “great potential impact on military discipline” of these accompanying civilian dependents. This cannot be denied, nor should its implications be minimized. But the notion that discipline over military personnel is to be furthered by subjecting their civilian dependents to the threat of capital punishment imposed by court-martial is too hostile to the reasons that underlie the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights for those safeguards to be displaced. It is true that military discipline might be affected seriously if civilian dependents could commit murders and other capital crimes with impunity. No one, however, challenges the availability to Congress of a power to provide for trial and punishment of these dependents for such crimes. The method of trial alone is in issue. The Government suggests that if trial in an article III. court subject to the restrictions of the fifth and sixth amendments is the only alternative, such a trial could not be held abroad practicably, and it would often be equally impracticable to transport all the witnesses back to the United States for trial. But although there is no need to pass on that issue in this case, trial in the United States is obviously not the only practical alternative and other alternatives may raise different constitutional questions. The Government’s own figures for the Army show that the total number of civilians (all civilians serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces overseas and not merely civilian dependents) for whom general courts-martial for alleged murder were deemed advisable was only 13 in the 7 fiscal years, 1950–56. It is impossible to ascertain from the figures supplied to us exactly how many persons were tried for other capital offenses, but the figures indicate that there could not have been many. There is nothing to indicate that the figures for the other services are more substantial. It thus appears to be a manageable problem within the procedural restrictions found necessary by this opinion.}} {{smaller block|A further argument is made that a decision adverse to the Government would mean that only a foreign trial could be had. Even assuming that the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, (4 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 1792, T. I. A. S. No. 2846) covering countries where a large part of our Armed Forces are stationed, gives jurisdiction to the United States only through its military authorities, this court cannot speculate that any given nation would be unwilling to grant or continue such extraterritorial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in capital cases if they were to be tried by some other manner than court-martial. And even if such were the case, these civilian dependents would then merely be in the same position as are so many Federal employees and their dependents and other United States citizens who are subject to the laws of foreign nations when residing there. See also the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, ''supra'', article VII., sections 2, 3.}} {{smaller block|The Government makes the final argument that these civilian dependents are part of the United States military contingent abroad in the eyes of the foreign nations concerned and that their conduct may have a profound effect on our relations with these countries, with a consequent effect on the Military Establishment there. But the argument that military courts-martial in capital cases are necessitated by this factor assumes either that a military court-martial constitutes a stronger deterrent to this sort of conduct or that in the absence of such a trial no punishment would be meted out and our foreign policy thereby injured. The reasons why these considerations carry no conviction have already been indicated.}} {{smaller block|I therefore conclude that in capital cases the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in time of peace cannot be justified by article I., considered in connection with the specific protections of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|Since the conclusion thus reached differs from what the Court decided last term, a decent respect for the judicial process calls for reexamination of the two grounds that then prevailed. The court sustained its action on the authority of the cases dealing with the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for the territories, reinforced by ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453), in which this Court, in 1891, sustained the criminal jurisdiction of a consular court in Japan. These authorities grew out of, and related to, specific situations very different from those now here. They do not control or even embarrass the problem before us.}} {{smaller block|Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific judicial origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the purposes they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots. Doctrines like those expressed by the Ross case and the series of cases beginning with ''American Insurance Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511), must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion. “If a precedent involving a black horse is applied to a case involving a white horse, we are not excited. If it were an elephant or an animal ''ferae naturae'' or a chose in action, then we would venture into thought. The difference might make a difference. We really are concerned about precedents chiefly when their facts differ somewhat from the facts in the case at bar. Then there is a gulf or hiatus that has to be bridged by a concern for principle and a concern for practical results and practical wisdom.” Thomas Reed Powell, Vagaries and Varieties in Constitutional Interpretation 36. This attitude toward precedent underlies the whole system of our case law. It was thus summarized by Mr. Justice Brandeis: “It is a peculiar virtue of our system of law that the process of inclusion and exclusion, so often employed in developing a rule, is not allowed to end with its enunciation and that an expression in an opinion yields later to the impact of facts unforeseen.” ''Jaybird Mining Co.'' v. ''Weir'' (271 U. S. 609, 619 (dissenting)). Especially is this attitude to be observed in constitutional controversies.}} {{smaller block|The Territorial cases relied on by the Court last term held that certain specific constitutional restrictions on the Government did not automatically apply in the acquired Territories of Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, or Puerto Rico. In these cases, the Court drew its decisions from the power of Congress to “make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory * * * belonging to the United States,” for which provision is made in article IV., section 3. The United States from time to time acquired lands in which many of our laws and customs found an uncongenial soil because they ill accorded with the history and habits of their people. Mindful of all relevant provisions of the Constitution and not allowing one to frustrate another—which is the guiding thought of this opinion—the Court found it necessary to read article IV., section 3 together with the fifth and sixth amendments and article III. in the light of those circumstances. The question arose most frequently with respect to the establishment of trial by jury in possessions in which such a system was wholly without antecedents. The Court consistently held with respect to such Territory that Congressional power under article IV., section 3 was not restricted by the requirement of article III., section 2, clause 3, and the sixth amendment of providing trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|“If the right to trial by jury were a fundamental right which goes wherever the jurisdiction of the United States extends; or if Congress, in framing laws for outlying territory belonging to the United States, was obliged to establish that system by affirmative legislation, it would follow that, no matter what the needs or capacities of the people, trial by jury, and in no other way, must be forthwith established, although the result may be to work injustice and provoke disturbance rather than to aid the orderly administration of justice. If the United States, impelled by its duty or advantage, shall acquire territory peopled by savages, and of which it may dispose or not hold for ultimate admission to statehood, if this doctrine is sound, it must establish there the trial by jury. To state such a proposition demonstrates the impossibility of carrying it into practice. Again, if the United States shall acquire by treaty the cession of territory having an established system of jurisprudence, where jury trials are unknown, but a method of fair and orderly trial prevails under an acceptable and long-established code, the preference of the people must be disregarded, their established customs ignored, and they themselves coerced to accept, in advance of incorporation into the United States, a system of trial unknown to them and unsuited to their needs. We do not think it was intended, in giving power to Congress to make regulations for the territories, to hamper its exercise with this condition.” ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138, 148.)}} {{smaller block|The fundamental right test is the one which the Court has consistently enunciated in the long series of cases—''e. g.'', ''American Ins. Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511); ''De Lima'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 1); ''Downes'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 244); ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138); ''Balzac'' v. ''Porto Rico'' (258 U. S. 298)—dealing with claims of constitutional restrictions on the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for governing the unincorporated territories. The process of decision appropriate to the problem led to a detailed examination of the relation of the specific territory to the United States. This examination, in its similarity to analysis in terms of due process, is essentially the same as that to be made in the present cases in weighing Congressional power to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces against the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|The results in the cases that arose by reason of the acquisition of exotic territory do not control the present cases for the territorial cases rest specifically—on article IV., section 3, which is a grant of power to Congress to deal with territory and other Government property. Of course the power sought to be exercised in Great Britain and Japan does not relate to territory. The Court’s opinions in the territorial cases did not lay down a broad principle that the protective provisions of the Constitution do not apply outside the continental limits of the United States. This Court considered the particular situation in each newly acquired territory to determine whether the grant to Congress of power to govern territory was restricted by a specific provision of the Constitution. The territorial cases, in the emphasis put by them on the necessity for considering the specific circumstances of each particular case, are thus relevant in that they provide an illustrative method for harmonizing constitutional provisions which appear, separately considered, to be conflicting.}} {{smaller block|The Court last term relied on a second source of authority, the consular court case, ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). Pursuant to a treaty with Japan, Ross, a British subject but a member of the crew of a United States ship, was tried and convicted in a consular court in Yokohama for murder of a fellow seaman while the ship was in Yokohama Harbor. His application for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to a United States circuit court was denied, 44 F. 185, and on appeal here, the judgment was affirmed. This Court set forth the ground of the circuit court, “the long and uniform acquiescence by the executive, administrative, and legislative departments of the Government in the validity of the legislation,” 140th United States Reports, at page 461, and then stated:}} {{smaller block|“The circuit court might have found an additional ground for not calling in question the legislation of Congress, in the uniform practice of civilized governments for centuries to provide consular tribunals in other than Christian countries * * * for the trial of their own subjects or citizens for offenses committed in those countries, as well as for the settlement of civil disputes between them; and in the uniform recognition, down to the time of the formation of our Government, of the fact that the establishment of such tribunals was among the most important subjects for treaty stipulations. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The treatymaking power vested in our Government extends to all proper subjects of negotiation with foreign governments. It can, equally with any of the former or present governments of Europe, make treaties providing for the exercise of judicial authority in other countries by its officers appointed to reside therein.}} {{smaller block|“We do not understand that any question is made by counsel as to its power in this respect. His objection is to the legislation by which such treaties are carried out * * *.}} {{smaller block|“By the Constitution a government is ordained and established ‘for the United States of America,’ and not for countries outside of their limits. The guarantees it affords against accusation of capital or infamous crimes, except by indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and, for an impartial trial by a jury when thus accused, apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad. * * * The Constitution can have no operation in another country. When, therefore, the representatives or officers of our Government are permitted to exercise authority of any kind in another country, it must be on such conditions as the two countries may agree, the laws of neither one being obligatory upon the other. The deck of a private American vessel, it is true, is considered for many purposes constructively as territory of the United States, yet persons on board of such vessels, whether officers, sailors, or passengers, cannot invoke the protection of the provisions referred to until brought within the actual territorial boundaries of the United States.” (140 U. S., at 462–464.)}} {{smaller block|One observation should be made at the outset about the grounds for decision in Ross. Insofar as the opinion expressed a view that the Constitution is not operative outside the United States—and apparently Mr. Justice Field meant by “United States” all lands over which the United States flag flew, see John W. Burgess, How May the United States Govern Its Extra-Continental Territory? (14 Pol. Sci. Q. 1 (1899))—it expressed a notion that has long since evaporated. Governmental action abroad is performed under both the authority and the restrictions of the Constitution—for example, proceedings before American military tribunals, whether in Great Britain or in the United States, are subject to the applicable restrictions of the Constitution. See opinions in ''Burns'' v. ''Wilson'' (346 U. S. 137).}} {{smaller block|The significance of the Ross case and its relevance to the present cases cannot be assessed unless due regard is accorded the historical context in which that case was decided. Ross is not rooted in any abstract principle or comprehensive theory touching constitutional power or its restrictions. It was decided with reference to a very particular, practical problem with a long history. To be mindful of this does not attribute to Mr. Justice Field’s opinion some unavowed historical assumption. On behalf of the whole court, he spelled out the considerations that controlled it:}} {{smaller block|“The practice of European governments to send officers to reside in foreign countries, authorized to exercise a limited jurisdiction over vessels and seamen of their country, to watch the interests of their countrymen and to assist in adjusting their disputes and protecting their commerce, goes back to a very early period, even preceding what are termed the Middle Ages. * * * In other than Christian countries they were, by treaty stipulations, usually clothed with authority to hear complaints against their countrymen and to sit in judgment upon them when charged with public offenses. After the rise of Islamism, and the spread of its followers over eastern Asia and other countries bordering on the Mediterranean, the exercise of this judicial authority became a matter of great concern. The intense hostility of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to Christians, affected all their intercourse, and all proceedings had in their tribunals. Even the rules of evidence adopted by them placed those of different faith on unequal grounds in any controversy with them. For this cause, and by reason of the barbarous and cruel punishments inflicted in those countries, and the frequent use of torture to enforce confession from parties accused, it was a matter of deep interest to Christian governments to withdraw the trial of their subjects, when charged with the commission of a public offence, from the arbitrary and despotic action of the local officials. Treaties conferring such jurisdiction upon these consuls were essential to the peaceful residence of Christians within those countries and the successful prosecution of commerce with their people.” One Hundred and Fortieth United States Reports, at page 463.}} {{smaller block|“It is true that the occasion for consular tribunals in Japan may hereafter be less than at present, as every year that country progresses in civilization and in the assimilation of its system of judicial procedure to that of Christian countries, as well as in the improvement of its penal statutes; but the system of consular tribunals * * * is of the highest importance, and their establishment in other than. Christian countries, where our people may desire to go in pursuance of commerce, will often be essential for the protection of their persons and property” (''id.'', at 480).}} {{smaller block|It is important to have a lively sense of this background before attempting to draw on the Ross case. Historians have traced grants of extraterritorial rights as far back as the permission given by Egypt in the 12th or 13th century {{asc|B. C.}} to the merchants of Tyre to establish factories on the Nile and to live under their own law and practice their own religion. Numerous other instances of persons living under their own law in foreign lands existed in the later pre-Christian era and during the Roman Empire and the so-called Dark and Middle Ages—Greeks in Egypt, all sorts of foreigners in Rome, inhabitants of Christian cities and states in the Byzantine Empire, the Latin kingdoms of the Levant, and other Christian cities and states, Mohammedans in the Byzantine Empire and China, and many others lived in foreign lands under their own law. While the origins of this extraterritorial jurisdiction may have differed in each country, the notion that law was for the benefit of the citizens of a country and its advantages not for foreigners appears to have been an important factor. Thus, there existed a long-established custom of extraterritorial jurisdiction at the beginning of the 15th century when the complete conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire substantially altered political relations between Christian Europe and the Near East. But commercial relations continued, and in 1535 Francis I. of France negotiated a treaty with Suleiman I. of Turkey that provided for numerous extraterritorial rights, including criminal and civil jurisdiction over all disputes among. French subjects. (1 Ernest Charriere, Negotiations de la France dans le Levant 283.) Other nations and eventually the United States in 1830 (8 Stat. 408), later negotiated similar treaties with the Turks. (For a more complete history of the development of extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction, see 1 Calvo, Le Droit International Theorique et Pratique (5th ed., Rousseau, 1896), 2–18, 2 ''id.'', 9–12; Hinckley, American Consular Jurisdiction in the Orient, 1–9; 1 Miltitz, Manuel des Consuls passim; Ravndal, The Origin of the Capitulations and of the Consular Jurisdiction, S. Doc. No. 34, 67th Cong., 1st sess. 5–45, 56–96; Shih Shun Liu, Extraterritoriality, 23–66; Twiss, The Law of Nations (1884 ed.), 443–457.)}} {{smaller block|The emergence of the nation-state in Europe and the growth of the doctrine of absolute territorial sovereignty changed the nature of extraterritorial rights. No longer were strangers to be denied the advantages of local law. Indeed, territorial sovereignty meant the exercise of sovereignty over all residents within the borders of the state, and the system of extraterritorial consular jurisdiction tended to die out among Christian nations in the 18th and 19th centuries. But a new justification was found for the continuation of that jurisdiction in those countries whose systems of justice were considered inferior, and it was this strong feeling with respect to Moslem and Far Eastern countries that was reflected, as we have seen, in the Ross opinion.}} {{smaller block|Until 1842, China had asserted control over all foreigners within its territory (Shih Shun Liu, ''op. cit.'', ''supra'', 76–89) but, as a result of the Opium War, Great Britain negotiated a treaty with China whereby she obtained consular offices in five open ports and was granted extraterritorial rights over her citizens. On July 3, 1844, Caleb Cushing negotiated a similar treaty on behalf of the United States (8 Stat. 592). In a letter to Secretary of State Calhoun, he explained: “I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations—in a word a Christian state.” Quoted in 7 Op. Atty. Gen. 495, 496–497. Later treaties continued the extraterritorial rights of the United States, and the treaty of 1903 contained the following article demonstrating the purpose of those rights:}} {{smaller block|“The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of western nations, the United States agrees to give every assistance to such reform and will also be prepared to relinquish extra-territorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in doing so” (33 Stat. 2208, 2215).}} {{smaller block|The first treaty with Japan was negotiated by Commodore Perry in 1854 (11 Stat. 597). It opened two ports, but did not provide for any exercise of judicial powers by United States officials. Under the treaty of 1857 (11 Stat. 723), such power was given, and later treaties, which opened up further Japanese cities for trade and residence by United States citizens, retained these rights. The treaty of 1894, effective on July 17, 1899, however, ended these extraterritorial rights and Japan, even though a non-Christian nation, came to occupy the same status as Christian nations (29 Stat. 848). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction by consuls over United States citizens was also provided for, at one time or another, in treaties with Borneo (10 Stat. 909, 910); Siam (11 Stat. 683, 684); Madagascar (15 Stat. 491, 492); Samoan Islands (20 Stat. 704); Korea (23 Stat. 720, 721); Tonga Islands (25 Stat. 1440, 1442) and, by virtue of most-favored-nation clauses; in treaties with Tripoli (8 Stat. 154); Persia (11 Stat. 709); the Congo (27 Stat. 926); and Ethiopia (33 Stat. 2254). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction was also provided for in a treaty with Morocco (8 Stat. 100), by virtue of a most-favored-nation clause and by virtue of a clause granting jurisdiction if “any citizens of the United States * * * shall have any disputes with each other.” The word “disputes” has been interpreted by the International Court of Justice to comprehend criminal as well as civil disputes. ''France'' v. ''United States'' (I. C. J. Rept. 1952, p. 176, 188–189.) The treaties with Algiers (8 Stat. 133, 224, 244); Tunis (8 Stat. 157); and Muscat (8 Stat. 458) contained similar disputes clauses.}} {{smaller block|The judicial power exercised by consuls was defined by statute and was sweeping:}} {{smaller block|“Jurisdiction in both criminal and civil matters shall, in all cases, be exercised and enforced in conformity with the laws of the United States, which are hereby, so far as is necessary to execute such treaties, respectively, and so far as they are suitable to carry the same into effect, extended over all citizens of the United States in those countries, and over all others to the extent that the terms of the treaties, respectively, justify or require. But in all cases where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” (Rev. Stat. sec. 4086.)}} {{smaller block|The consuls, then, exercised not only executive and judicial power, but legislative power as well.}} {{smaller block|The number of people subject to the jurisdiction of these courts during their most active periods appears to have been fairly small. In the Chronicle & Directory for China, Japan, and the Philippines, for the year 1870, there is a listing of the total number of foreign, not just United States, residents in these three places. The list is 81 pages long, with a total of some 4,500 persons (pp. 54–134). This same publication gives the following information about Japan. “The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of * * * 38 Americans * * * and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number * * * about 80 [were] Americans. * * * At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the Government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January 1866: * * * American citizens, 32. * * * A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there * * *.” (Appendix, p. 353.) The statesman’s Yearbook of 1890 shows: China at the end of 1888: 1,020 Americans (p. 411); Japan in 1887, 711 Americans (p. 709); Morocco; 1889 estimate: “The number of Christians is very small, not exceeding 1,500” (p. 739). The Statesman’s Yearbook of 1901 shows: China at the end of 1899: 2,335 Americans (p. 484); Japan, December 31, 1898, just before the termination of our extraterritorial rights: 1,165 Americans (p. 809); Morocco: “The number of Christians does not exceed 6,000; the Christian population of Tangier alone probably amounts to 5,000” (p. 851). These figures of course do not include those civilians temporarily in the country coming within consular jurisdiction.}} {{smaller block|The consular court jurisdiction, then, was exercised in countries whose legal systems at the time were considered so inferior that justice could not be obtained in them by our citizens. The existence of these courts was based on long-established custom and they were justified as the best possible means for securing justice for the few Americans present in those countries. The Ross case, therefore, arose out of, and rests on, very special, confined circumstances, and cannot be applied automatically to the present situation, involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens in countries with civilized systems of justice. If Congress had established consular courts or some other nonmilitary procedure for trial that did not contain all the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments for the trial of civilian dependents of military personnel abroad, we would be forced to a detailed analysis of the situation of the civilian dependent population abroad in deciding whether the Ross case should be extended to cover such a case. It is not necessary to do this in the present cases in view of our decision that the form or trial here provided cannot constitutionally be justified.}} {{smaller block|The Government, apparently recognizing the constitutional basis for the decision in Ross, has, on rehearing, sought to show that civilians in general and civilian dependents in particular have been subject to military order and discipline ever since the colonial period. The materials it has submitted seem too episodic, too meager, to form a solid basis in history, preceding and contemporaneous with the framing of the Constitution, for constitutional adjudication. What has been urged on us falls far too short of proving a well-established practice—to be deemed to be infused into the Constitution—of court-martial jurisdiction, certainly not in capital cases, over such civilians in time of peace.}} Mr. President, the decision which I have read in the {{sc|Record}} is in the case of Curtis Reid, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Jail, Appellant, against Clarice B. Covert, and Nina Kinsella, Warden of the Federal Reformatory for Women, Alderson, W. Va., petitioner, against Walter Krueger. The opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice Black, was concurred in by the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan. It pointed out clearly that even though the court-martial so provided, the jury trial could not be denied to civilians accompanying the Armed Forces. It is very clear on that point. There was a concurring opinion, which I have just included in the {{sc|Record}}, by Justice Frankfurter, which upholds that contention. There is no question that under the United States Constitution citizens are entitled to a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the discretion of a Federal judge to say whether he is going to grant a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the Congress to say that if the punishment is only a $300 fine or 45 days imprisonment we will let the judge try the case, but if it is above that the defendant can get a jury trial. That simply does not make sense. It violates the Constitution and is in derogation of the administration of justice in this country. As someone has said, it is a split-level statute. Mr. President, on May 9, 1957, before the mountain and plain regional meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colo., Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., of the Supreme Court, made an address on our judicial systems. In this address he discussed the advantages of our traditional jury-trial system. Because of the clear, straightforward nature of this address, I want to quote the following statement made by Justice Brennan. This is what he said: {{smaller block|We hear much, for example, of the proposal that we turn all automobile-accident litigation over to an administrative agency. The idea is that, because automobile litigation accounts for a major part of court business, the simple solution is to dispose of the problem by throwing it out the window. What an abject abdication of our profession’s responsibility to provide judicial justice for our citizens. But, at best, there is utterly no hope for that idea, at least not in our lifetimes, when the job of judicial reform must be done. It will be a long day before our society will pay the price of damages for every automobile injury or death without regard to the fault of the person injured or killed. There is no true analogy between compensation for the injured workman who helps produce goods or services for profit, where the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods or services, and compensation to the automobile victim, where the cost would have to be borne by all of us.}} {{smaller block|Another nostrum is that, because jury trials take more time than trials before a judge without a jury, the easy answer to calendar congestion is to get rid of jury trials in automobile accident cases. Actual studies are being made to prove that the average jury trial in a negligence case takes more time than a nonjury trial of a negligence case. I question the need for a study to prove something that every judge and lawyer knows. Of course jury trials usually take more time than nonjury trials. But those who propose this suggest also that fairer justice will result if a judge, unprejudiced for one side or the other—they really mean that juries are prejudiced in favor of plaintiffs—disposes of them. I doubt that that proposition can withstand analysis. As a trial judge I was always interested in how often the jury brought in the same verdict on liability that I would have reached. And that seems to be the experience of trial judges generally. A recent survey proved that in upwards of 85 percent of the cases the trial judge reported that the jury reached the result on liability that he would have reached. Moreover, the idea that juries go haywire in fixing damages where plaintiffs prevail should be looked at a little more closely. I think at least that judge-decided verdicts under the Federal Tort Claims Act (no jury trial is had under that act) do not persuade the Department of Justice that juries are any less conscientious in fixing damages. I know that at times juries do go overboard. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the instances in my time as a trial judge when I felt it necessary to set aside verdicts because they had done so. My experience left me with the definite impression that jurors almost always do try to fix damages within allowable limits.}} {{smaller block|I think, at all events, this proposal to abolish jury trials in automobile accident cases also faces an almost insurmountable hurdle. The success of our British brothers in abolishing jury trials should not mislead us. American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. Perhaps the emotion generated by proposals to modify or deny the right has its roots in the Jacksonian era of distrust of the legal profession and the insistence upon the people’s control of the administration of justice. Perhaps it is a survival of the same thing which gave us the elective system of judges in most States and in some, as in my own, New Jersey, actual lay participation on the bench. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of the preservation of their liberties. The road of him who would take away jury trial in automobile accident cases is a long and rocky one.}} {{smaller block|I submit that it is a sorry response to the litigant who suffers from long delay in having his accident suit tried that we can offer no relief beyond “let’s throw accident litigation out of the courts,” or “let’s deny the victim the right of a jury trial.” Our profession must stand up and reject those nostrums. We know now that there are judicial structures and techniques of judicial administration which not only can cope with problems of calendar control but to far more {{SIC|signficant|significant}} purposes can also measurably assist in our ceaseless striving to give better justice. Our need is to get up our courage to fight for these things and to do battle with the powerfully entrenched opponents of any reform who too often take their position out of self-interest without sufficient consideration of what is best in the people’s interest. It doubtless is true that achievement of a modernized, efficient judicial structure requires far-reaching legislative and constitutional changes in most jurisdictions. But, far better to do the arduous labor of getting that essential job done than to promote equally drastic changes which are nothing more than a humiliating confession of defeat.}} {{smaller block|Let us not forget that the integrity and efficiency of the judicial process is the first essential in a democratic society. The confidence of the people in the administration of justice is a prime requisite for free representative government. The public entrusts the legal profession with the sacred mission of dealing with the vital affairs that affect the whole pattern of human relations and certainly has a stake entitling it to demand not only that judges dispense justice impartially and fairly but also that judicial business shall be handled and disposed of by a modernized process which assures a minimum of friction and waste, for such a process also plays a large role in the achievement of impartial and fair justice for all litigants. There is actually no difference between the business of judicial administration and the business of running an industrial or commercial enterprise in the sense that the efficient and businesslike conduct of each means better service for the public. An inefficient and wasteful judicial administration actually can and often does result in a denial of justice, however earnestly an honest and upright judge may strive to prevent that lamentable result.}} {{smaller block|I think it is not difficult to account for today’s heightened interest on the part of the general public throughout our Nation and, indeed, the Free World in the improvement of the process for administering justice. That growing interest is in large measure a product of the tumultuous times in which we live. For these are not only times which have produced a monstrous threat to all freedom, but, by the very reason of that threat, are times which have induced in free peoples everywhere an ever intensifying critical self-examination of the institutions upon which their freedoms depend—an insistence upon exposure of the imperfections of those institutions, a peremptory demand upon those who are entrusted with those institutions to improve and strengthen them the more surely to withstand the onslaught bent upon their destruction. It is but natural then that the judicial process should come under examination, for never was it more true than today that “Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.”}} Mr. President, I submit, just as Justice Brennan has quoted here, which never was more true than today: {{smaller block|Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.}} I contend that since our forefathers placed in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights provisions which are so plain it seems no one could misinterpret them, providing for trial by jury in criminal cases, there can be no question that jury trials are not only desirable but are demanded under the Constitution. There should be no doubt in the mind of anyone, if he studies the Constitution, that the so-called compromise which tends to compromise the Constitution of the United States is not a just, is not a fair, is not a wise, and is not a constitutional provision, and that this bill should be killed. Mr. President, one of the most interesting books ever written on the American system of Government was by Alexis de Tocqueville, a young Frenchman who wrote a book entitled “Democracy in America” after visiting this country during the 1830s. One of the chapters of his book was entitled “Trial by Jury in the United States Considered as a Political Institution.” I shall read excerpts from this chapter because it provides an excellent insight into the prestige attained by the system of jury trial from the observation of an unbiased observer. {{smaller block|[From de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” written after visiting America in the 1830s.]}} {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Trial by Jury in the United States Constitution as a Political Institution}}}}}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury, which is one of the forms of the sovereignty of the people, ought to be compared with the other laws which establish that sovereignty: Composition of the jury in the United States; effect of trial by jury upon the national character; it educates the people; how it tends to establish the influence of the magistrates and to extend the legal spirit among the people.}} {{smaller block|Since my subject has led me to speak of the administration of justice in the United States, I will not pass over it without referring to the institution of the jury. Trial by jury may be considered in two separate points of view: as a judicial, and as a political institution. * * *}} {{smaller block|My present purpose is to consider the jury as a political institution; any other course would divert me from my subject. Of trial by jury considered as a judicial institution I shall here say but little. When the English adopted trial by jury, they were a semi-barbarous people; they have since become one of the most enlightened nations of the earth, and their attachment to this institution seems to have increased with their increasing cultivation. They have emigrated and colonized every part of the habitable globe; some have formed colonies, others independent states; the mother country has maintained its monarchial constitution; many of its offspring have founded powerful republics; but everywhere they have boasted of the privilege of trial by jury. They have established it, or hastened to reestablish it, in all their settlements. A judicial institution which thus obtains the suffrages of a great people for so long a series of ages, which is zealously reproduced at every stage of civilization, in all the climates of the earth, and under every form of human {{SIC|govment|government}}, cannot be contrary to the spirit of justice.}} {{smaller block|But to leave this part of the subject. It would be a very narrow view to look upon the jury as a mere judicial institution; for however great its influence may be upon the decisions of the courts, it is still greater on the destinies of society at large. The jury is, above all, a political institution, and it must be regarded in this light in order to be duly appreciated.}} {{smaller block|By the jury I mean a certain number of citizens chosen by lot and invested with a temporary right of judging. Trial by jury, as applied to the repression of crime, appears to me an eminently republican element in the government, for the following reasons.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury may be aristocratic or democratic, according to the class from which the jurors are taken; but it always preserves its republican character, in that it places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed, or of a portion of the governed, and not in that of the government. Force is never more than a transient element of success, and after force comes the notion of right. A government able to reach its enemies only upon a field of battle would soon be destroyed. The true sanction of political laws is to be found in penal legislation; and if that sanction is wanting, the law will sooner or later lose its cogency. He who punishes the criminal is therefore the real master of society. Now, the institution of the jury raises the people itself, or at least a class of citizens, to the bench of judges. The institution of the jury consequently invests the people, or that class of citizens, with the direction of society.}} {{smaller block|In England the jury is selected from the aristocratic portion of the nation; the aristocracy makes the laws, applies the laws, and punishes infractions of the laws; everything is established upon a consistent footing, and England may with truth be said to constitute an aristocratic republic. In the United States the same system is applied to the whole people. Every American citizen is both an eligible and a legally qualified voter. The jury system as it is understood in America appears to me to be as direct and as extreme a consequence of the sovereignty of the people as universal suffrage. They are two instruments of equal power, which contribute to the supremacy of the majority. All the sovereigns who have chosen to govern by their own authority, and to direct society instead of obeying its directions, have destroyed or enfeebled the institution of the jury. The Tudor monarchs sent to prison jurors who refused to convict, and Napoleon caused them to be selected by his agents.}} {{smaller block|However clear most of these truths may seem to be, they do not command universal assent; and in France, at least, trial by jury is still but imperfectly understood. If the question arises as to the proper qualification of jurors, it is confined to a discussion of the intelligence and knowledge of the citizens who may be returned, as if the jury was merely a judicial institution. This appears to me the least important part of the subject. The jury is preeminently a political institution; it should be regarded as one form of the sovereignty of the people; when that sovereignty is repudiated, it must be rejected, or it must be adapted to the laws by which that sovereignty is established. The jury is that portion of the nation to which the execution of the laws is entrusted, as the legislature is that part of the nation which makes the laws; and in order that society may be governed in a fixed and uniform manner, the list of citizens qualified to serve on juries must increase and diminish with the list of electors. This I hold to be the point of view most worthy of the attention of the legislator; all that remains is merely accessory.}} {{smaller block|I am so entirely convinced that the jury is preeminently a political institution that I still consider it in this light when it is applied in civil causes. Laws are always unstable unless they are founded upon the customs of a nation; customs are the only durable and resisting power in a people. When the jury is reserved for criminal offenses, the people witness only its occasional action in particular cases; they become accustomed to do without it in the ordinary course of life, and it is considered as an instrument, but not as the only instrument, of obtaining justice.}} {{smaller block|When, on the contrary, the jury acts also on civil causes, its application is constantly visible; it affects all the interests of the community; everyone cooperates in its work; it thus penetrates into all the usages of life, it fashions the human mind to its peculiar forms, and is gradually associated with the idea of justice itself.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and man. If it had been as easy to remove the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have perished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that period save the liberties of England. In whatever manner the jury be applied, it cannot fail to exercise a powerful influence upon the national character; but this influence ts prodigiously increased when it is introduced into civil causes. The jury, and more especially the civil jury, serves to communicate the spirit of the judges to the minds of all the citizens; and this spirit, with the habits which attend it, is the soundest preparation for free institutions. It imbues all classes with a respect for the thing judged and with the notion of right. If these two elements be removed, the love of independence becomes a mere destructive passion. It teaches men to practice equity; every man learns to judge his neighbor as he would himself be judged. And this is especially true of the jury in civil causes; for while the number of persons who have reason to apprehend a criminal prosecution is small, everyone is liable to have a lawsuit. The jury teaches every man not to recoil before the responsibility of his own actions and impresses him with that manly confidence without which no political virtue can exist. It invests each citizen with a kind of magistracy; it makes them all feel the duties which they are bound to discharge toward society and the part which they take in its government. By obliging men to turn their attention to other affairs than their own, it rubs off that private selfishness which is the rust of society.}} {{smaller block|The jury contributes powerfully to form the judgment and to increase the natural intelligence of a people; and this, in my opinion, is its greatest advantage. It may be regarded as a gratuitous public school, ever open, in which every juror learns his rights, enters into daily communication with the most learned and enlightened members of the upper classes, and becomes practically acquainted with the laws, which are brought within the reach of his capacity by the efforts of the bar, the advice of the judge, and even the passions of the parties. I think that the practical intelligence and political good sense of the Americans are mainly attributable to the long use that they have made of the jury in civil causes.}} {{smaller block|I do not know whether the jury is useful to those who have lawsuits, but I am certain it is highly beneficial to those who judge them; and I look upon it as one of the most efficacious means for the education of the people which society can employ.}} {{smaller block|What I have said applies to all nations, but the remark I am about to make is peculiar to the Americans and to democratic communities. I have already observed that in democracies the members of the legal profession and the judicial magistrates constitute the only aristocratic body which can moderate the movements of the people. This aristocracy is invested with no physical power; it exercises its conservative influence upon the minds of men; and the most abundant source of its authority is the institution of the civil jury. In criminal causes, when society is contending against a single man, the jury is apt to look upon the judge as the passive instrument of social power and to mistrust his advice. Moreover, criminal causes turn entirely upon simple facts, which commonsense can readily appreciate; upon this ground the judge and the jury are equal. Such is not the case, however, in civil causes; then the judge appears as a disinterested arbiter between the conflicting passions of the parties. The jurors look up to him with confidence and listen to him with respect, for in this instance, his intellect entirely governs theirs. It is the judge who sums up the various arguments which have wearied their memory, and who guides them through the devious course of the proceedings; he points their attention to the exact question of fact that they are called upon to decide and tells them how to answer the question of law. His influence over them is almost unlimited.}} {{smaller block|If I am called upon to explain why I am but little moved by the arguments derived from the ignorance of jurors in civil causes, I reply that in these proceedings, whenever the question to be solved is not a mere question of fact, the jury has only the semblance of a judicial body. The jury only sanctions the decision of the judge; they sanction this decision by the authority of society which they represent, and he by that of reason and of law.}} {{smaller block|The jury, then, which seems to restrict the rights of the judiciary does in reality consolidate its power; and in no country are the judges so powerful as where the people share their privileges. It is especially by means of the jury in civil causes that the American magistrates imbue even the lower classes of society with the spirit of their profession. Thus the jury, which is the most energetic means of making the people rule, is also the most efficacious means of teaching it how to rule well.}} Mr. President, de Tocqueville contributed a great deal to literature and to society. He was a Frenchman who came to our country and studied our form of government. He was so impressed that he wrote the chapter on trial by jury, in which he emphasized the fact that the jury is the heart of the administration of justice in a democracy. On Friday, July 5, 1957, there was printed in the State, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C., an article quoting the then president of the American Bar Association, Mr. David F. Maxwell, on the subject of jury trials. I believe Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Philadelphia bar, of which our distinguished Presiding Officer [Mr. {{sc|Clark}}] is also a member. I am sure that the Presiding Officer, as well as the Senate, will be interested in what Mr. Maxwell had to say on the subject of jury trials, and that the views expressed by him will be of interest to everyone who believes in constitutional government. I read as follows: {{smaller block|The president of the American Bar Association today answered charges that trial by jury is an outmoded, time-consuming process which can be replaced by more efficient legal procedure.}} {{smaller block|David F. Maxwell, of Philadelphia, who heads the lawyers organization, said instead that jury trials are the ultimate protection against invasion of personal freedom.}} {{smaller block|He spoke at the diamond jubilee celebration of the State Bar of Texas.}} {{smaller block|“Too many persons today are prone to view trial by jury solely as a factfinding device, and hence expendable, if as good or better a method can be devised,” he said.}} {{smaller block|These critics are influenced, Maxwell said, by the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote that an experienced judge should be able to represent the commonsense of the community far better than the average jury.}} {{smaller block|The Pennsylvania attorney said, “Such a contention presupposes the ability of the trial judge to discard foibles and prejudices built up within himself through his personal experience and background,” adding that a group of average citizens can mete out more even justice than can the most competent and experienced judge.}} {{smaller block|“So let us in this country take warning,” he said. “The jury alone is able to function as the thin wedge of reserved power that separates our system of law from the monolithic, totalitarian despotism behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.”}} Mr. President, an editorial appeared in the Greenville (S. C.) News of June 6, 1957. It is entitled “Jury Trial Is at Heart of Rights Issue” and has this to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|The day after it was reported from Washington that the administration would protest the southern claim that the so-called civil-rights bill would deny the right to trial by jury, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate approved an amendment intended to guarantee that right to persons who might come under an injunction authorized in the proposed law.}} {{smaller block|In his several appearances before the Senate and House committees studying the various proposals, Attorney General Brownell tried to claim that a trial by jury would not be denied.

It is entitled “Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} Understands Threat to Liberty in Civil-Rights Bill” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Speaking at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society in Charleston, March 18, 1947, Senator {{sc|Joseph C.

Responsible men must stay active in movements such as the citizens council, and prevent infiltration by troublemakers or hotheads.}} {{smaller block|If the South can speak with dignity in Washington and act with honesty and good sense at home, there will be more Senator O’Mahoneys who will realize southerners are fighting the good fight for American liberties.}} Mr. President, here is another article from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Trial by Jury Right of All Americans” and it appears in the June 5, 1957, issue of the News and Courier, and has this to say: {{smaller block|A guaranty of trial by jury, squeezed into a civil-rights law by vote of a Senate subcommittee, has been hailed as a southern victory.}} {{smaller block|This victory—though it is little more than solace in a string of defeats—in fact belongs to the American Republic. Southerners are not alone in danger. If the Federal Government can deprive southerners of the right of trial by jury, on the ground that they are unfair to Negroes, it can do the same to citizens of other regions on equally flimsy grounds.}} {{smaller block|Thanks to the NAACP and its political allies, defense of Negroes’ civil rights is popular today. Even at the sacrifice of rights of all citizens, restrictive laws have won serious support. The News and Courier finds biting irony in the need for Congress to guarantee the right of trial by jury. Americans have been brought up in the belief that the United States Constitution meant what it said in guaranteeing them this right.}} {{smaller block|Nowadays, the ruling clique no longer trusts ordinary people to govern themselves. Juries, they fear, will bring in unjust verdicts. The bosses prefer to entrust such delicate matters as civil rights to hand-picked Federal judges, who are screened by the Department of Justice and appointed by the President. With both national parties committed to the NAACP program, no lawyer who takes a strong stand against that program stands much chance of appointment. As older judges die or retire, Attorney General Brownell will make sure, insofar as he is able, that replacements have a “liberal” view of race.}} {{smaller block|With administration of election laws removed from the hands of elected State officials and placed under Federal appointees, government is being removed ever further from the people. The jury system, safeguard of Anglo–Saxon liberty, may yet be a victim of alien notions now gathering power in our Republic.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the May 10, 1957, issue of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “The Civil-Rights Fight and Trial-by-Jury Issue” and was written by the distinguished southern newspaperman, Dr. John Temple Graves. Here is what it has to say on the jury-trial issue: {{bc|{{smaller block|<poem>{{fqm|“}}Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight * * *”</poem>}}}} {{smaller block|Time accommodates.}} {{smaller block|Its comment on jury trials last week overlooked the Federal march of time.}} {{smaller block|Admitting that the trial-by-jury issue has come to dominate the civil-rights fight, the magazine pontificated that “the contempt citation is the judiciary’s historic enforcement tool.” It avowed that “jury trials in contempt cases have absolutely no basis in equity or constitutional law and precious little legislative sanction.”}} {{smaller block|The trick in this extraordinary statement is in Time’s small print at the bottom of the page. It explains that “with a single exception (the Norris–La Gaurdia Act covering labor disputes) trial by jury has never been required in contempt cases to which the United States has been a party.” With the United States Government proposing now to be a party to just about everything in heaven, earth, and the waters beneath—a new situation exists.}} {{smaller block|The Constitution loves the principle of trial by jury and says so over and over again.

The fifth amendment speaks for it, and the sixth, and the seventh.}} {{smaller block|Nothing in the whole instrument is more emphatic.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the April 8, 1957, issue of South, the news magazine of Dixie. It is entitled “Force Bill ‘Liberals’ Would Kill Jury Trial.” Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|It is incredible that those who like to boast that they are liberals and protectors of individual rights are crying the loudest for the currently misnamed civil-rights legislation which would deny alleged violators the right to trial by jury. The politically inspired anti-South force bill package has induced such a state of hypnosis in the self-styled liberals that they want to replace constitutional guarantees of civil liberties with their own false notions of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|If the question of race were not at issue, the very people who are pressing for passage of this abominable travesty on constitutional principle would be the first to denounce it for discarding the sacred right of trial by jury. At the outset the legislation violates the rights spelled out in article III., section 3, and by the seventh amendment, one of the historic ten making up the Bill of Rights. It would empower the United States Attorney General to seek injunctions against persons suspected of being about to violate the so-called civil-rights measure. Then a Federal judge, acting also as prosecutor and jury, would decree a whole community or State in contempt. An individual cited for contempt would be tried without a jury by the judge who cited him.}} {{smaller block|The proponents of this evil proposal know exactly what they are doing. By design they are taking away the right of jury trial. In fact, they are bold to say that if they did not set aside the right of trial by jury, they could not get convictions in the South. To allow jury trials, they say, would be to gut the bill. Attorney General Brownell is horror-struck at the thought that the no-jury-trial provision be stricken. President Eisenhower, who violates a campaign pledge made at Miami by pushing this legislation, says he would have to get Brownell’s opinion as to whether to sign or veto a civil-rights bill containing the assurance of jury trial in contempt cases. The civil strife proponents protest that this guaranty—in the Constitution which Eisenhower, Brownell, and all Congressmen are sworn to uphold—would cripple the bill. Has the President so soon forgotten that he said at Miami, 2 weeks before the election, that civil-rights problems should be handled to the greatest extent on a local and State basis?}} {{smaller block|Surely our liberals know that Hitler, Mussolini, and all tyrants from the time of King John (until forced to sign the Magna Carta) opposed jury trials because they would cripple their programs.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the April 14, 1957, issue of the Greenville, S. C., News. It is entitled “Jackie Robinson on Meet the Press: Negro Athlete Favors Jury Trials” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Jackie Robinson, Negro baseball star, when asked if he favored jury trials for civil-rights defendants, said Sunday night he would personally prefer a jury trial.}} {{smaller block|The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People strongly opposes a jury trial guaranty in criminal injunction cases arising under the bill.}} {{smaller block|Robinson is leading the NAACP’s freedom-fund campaign for a million dollars to attain first-class citizenship for all members.}} {{smaller block|The former Brooklyn Dodger told an NBC Meet the Press television panel that he did not know what the million dollars would be spent for—possibly for lawsuits against school segregation.}} {{smaller block|He said he favored the civil-rights bill but knows very little about it.}} {{smaller block|Frank Van Der Linden, this newspaper’s Washington correspondent, asked the questions about the civil-rights bill.}} This is a man, Mr. President, who favors the civil-rights bill, but even he says he favors a trial by jury. That is what the House did on this so-called compromise. In effect, they have nullified the right of trial by jury. There are very, very few instances in which a judge, when he finds a man guilty of contempt, would give a sentence of more than 45 days in prison or a fine of more than $300. That simply means the practical effect is that the jury trial has been completely nullified. As I have said earlier, and as I will say later in my address, the right of jury trial is something the Constitution grants to the citizens of the United States. The Congress does not have the authority to take the jury trial away from the people of America. Mr. President, I have an excerpt from an editorial from the August 26, 1957, issue of the Columbia (S. C.) Record. It is entitled “Jury-Trial Compromise No Compromise,” and this is what it has to say: {{smaller block|The “compromise” on the jury-trial amendment to the civil-rights bill, worked out between the House and Senate leaders of both parties, is anything but a genuine compromise. It is a nullification of the jury-trial principle, for which the southern Democrats fought so valiantly in the Senate.}} {{smaller block|The amendment written into the bill by the Senate provided that in all cases of criminal contempt defendants should be entitled to jury trials, guaranteed by the Constitution to all persons accused of crime. This applied not only to criminal contempt charges growing out of voting-right cases, but also to other criminal contempt proceedings as well.}} {{smaller block|The so-called compromise allows jury trials only in voting-rights cases and then only after a defendant has been tried and convicted without a jury trial and sentenced to more than 45 days’ imprisonment and a $300 fine. In such a case the defendant could ask for a jury trial and the case would then be tried ''de novo'' before a jury. But no jury, of course, could try such a case ''de novo'' in fact. Every juror would know that the defendant had been found guilty by a judge and given more than a minimum sentence. This is a condition precedent to a jury trial in these voting-right cases. And no jury trial under such circumstances is anything approaching the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the August 25, 1957, issue of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Jury Trial ‘Compromise’ Is False Bait in Wicked Trap for Liberty,” and here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|A proposed compromise now pending in Congress is as wicked and immoral, in our opinion, as total denial of trial by jury under Federal election laws.}} {{smaller block|Reports from Washington indicate a likelihood that the civil rights force bill may be rammed through Congress with this compromise to grease the way. Perhaps the northern scrambles for Negro votes and their “liberal” southern allies have the power in Congress to enact this hateful law. They should not get even silent support from anyone who loves the American Republic.}} {{smaller block|The compromise is really no compromise at all. It would grant the opportunity to seek a new trial before a jury by a defendant in an election case who had received a sentence greater than a $1,000 fine or 45 days in jail.}} The amount there, incidentally, Mr. President, should be corrected. Instead of a $1,000 fine, it should be a $300 fine. {{smaller block|But the size of a fine and the duration of imprisonment are not the key issue in this legislation. Penalties may be amended once the principle is set up. Besides, imprisoning State election officials even for a short time could rig the outcome of voting.}} {{smaller block|The key issue here is whether the liberty of a citizen, and the constitutional rights of the States to conduct free elections, should be sacrificed for the sake of current political advantage of national parties and politicians.}} As I have said before, Mr. President—to digress there—the only purpose of this so-called right-to-vote bill is to advance the cause of the national political parties with the minorities and to advance the cause of certain politicians. If it were not for the purpose of both parties playing to the minorities and advancing the cause of certain politicians to high offices, I do not believe this bill would ever have been introduced. It is a disgrace to the United States even to have the Congress consider such an abominable and obnoxious bill. {{smaller block|Behind this force bill lies a game of power politics. Both national parties are struggling to control the votes of herded Negroes in big northern cities and their liberal allies. These bloc voters are believed to hold the balance of political power in the United States.}} {{smaller block|Buried beneath the nauseating political greed that has produced this force bill are principles once dear to Americans. The bill has many of the earmarks of totalitarian government that the Constitution was built to prevent.}} Among these earmarks are Federal control of elections, seizing the power of the ballot box from the people most likely to be affected; substitution of judges for juries in enforcement of the law; and secrecy in working up prosecutions.}} {{smaller block|The bill would set up a powerful commission on the phony pretense of guarding voting rights of minority groups. This Commission’s actions would be shielded from public view. Persons are forbidden under penalties to make known what it is doing. The Star Chamber—a tyrannous device once used by English Kings—thus would be imposed for the first time on the United States.}} {{smaller block|Southerners may be overwhelmed by superior force, but they should go down fighting every step of the way.}} {{smaller block|In honorable defeat they may sound an alarm to fellow Americans not yet awake to dangers to the Republic. Passage of the civil-rights force bill would be a defeat for all citizens of whatever race or region, for it would help to set the stage for dictatorship and oppression. The compromise on which passage now seems to hinge is only a deceptive detail in a dirty business.}} Mr. President, I have here an excellent editorial from the Washington Evening Star of July 12, 1957. It is an editorial full of quotes, but the editor made his point well in this editorial without even having to insert his own comments. Here is what the editorial says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Brownell}} ''v.'' {{sc|Norris}}}}}} {{smaller block|Attorney General Brownell (in a letter explaining the civil-rights bill):}} {{smaller block|“Enactment of legislation providing for jury trial in contempt cases arising out of governmental litigation would undermine the authority of the Federal courts by seriously weakening their power to enforce their lawful orders. The effect of adopting current proposals for jury trial would be to weaken and undermine the authority of the Federal courts by making their every order, even when issued after due hearing and affirmed on appeal, reviewable by a local jury. * * *}} {{smaller block|“Furthermore the proposed amendment to existing procedures that is being advocated under the innocuous slogan of jury trial would permit practical nullification of the effectiveness of the proposed civil-rights legislation. The enforcement of any court order may require prompt and vigorous action if it is to be effective. Prompt action will often be vital in civil-rights cases, especially election cases, where the registration period or the election may pass while enforcement is delayed. The injection of a jury trial between an order of a court enjoining discrimination against Negroes in an election, and the enforcement of that order would provide numerous opportunities for delay beyond the time when the order could have practical effect.”}} {{smaller block|The late Senator George W. Norris (insisting on the right of trial by jury, by Congressional enactment, in every case of indirect contempt):}} {{smaller block|“I agree that any man charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.”}} I wish to repeat that statement. He said: {{smaller block|I agree that any many charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.}} Under the proposed compromise amendment which came from the House, the people will not get a jury trial. In 99 percent of the cases the judge will sentence people without a jury trial. It is said, “Well, they are able to get a jury trial if the fine is more than $300 or if the imprisonment is for more than 45 days.” That is not the point. The point is that in 99 percent of the cases the compromise would deny to the citizens a jury trial, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Congress should not be a party to violating the Constitution of the United States by passing the compromise amendment. I continue to read from the editorial: {{smaller block|“It is no answer to say that there will sometimes be juries which will not convict. That is a charge which can be made against our jury system. Every man who has tried lawsuits before juries, every man who has ever presided in court and heard jury trials, knows that juries make mistakes, as all other human beings do, and they sometimes render verdicts which seem almost obnoxious. But it is the best system I know of. I would not have it abolished; and when I see how juries will really do justice when a biased and prejudiced judge is trying to lead them astray I am confirmed in my opinion that, after all, our jury system is one which the American people, who believe in liberty and justice, will not dare to surrender. I like to have trial by jury preserved in all kinds of cases where there is a dispute of facts.”}} Mr. President, I have before me an editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) News of March 29, 1957, entitled “How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?” It reads: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?}}}}}} {{smaller block|Rather smugly, perhaps, we Americans have taken for granted our right to a trial before a jury when we stand accused of violating the law.}} {{smaller block|So fixed in our system of jurisprudence and our common concepts of justice is the jury trial that few of us ever have stopped to consider the difference between having our guilt or innocence determined by a group of ordinary citizens and having a judge, a creature of the Government, mete out justice singlehandedly, as he alone sees it.}} {{smaller block|Article III., section 2 of the United States Constitution, says that “the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.”}} {{smaller block|The sixth amendment, article VI. of the Bill of Rights, spells out further the right to the accused in criminal proceedings “to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. * * *”}} {{smaller block|It goes on to guarantee the accused the right to be informed specifically of the charges against him, to confront the witnesses against him, to subpena witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel.}} {{smaller block|The seventh amendment, article VII. of the Bill of Rights, provides that in suits at common law the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.}} {{smaller block|One would think that, with all these references in the Constitution, the right to a jury trial would be secure. But liberal elements, including our own Department of Justice, advocating passage of proposed civil-rights legislation are teaching us that this basic right is not so secure as we might have thought.}} {{smaller block|For the bills now before the Congress would, in fact, deny persons accused of violating the civil rights of others the right of a trial by a jury of citizens of their State and district. And the NAACP and Attorney General Brownell are insisting on this provision of the bill. Attempts of southern Senators and Congressmen to write into it a guaranty of that right have thus far been beaten down.}} {{smaller block|If the bill is enacted, the Government would be empowered to bring civil, rather than criminal charges, against an individual accused of violating someone else’s rights. He would be prosecuted by a Government attorney before a Federal judge, who might be sent in from outside his State, who would pass on the facts as well as the law and would pass sentence.}} {{smaller block|The accused would be just as apt to go to jail on the civil charge as he would if he were charged with a criminal offense in which the jury trial would be guaranteed. Indeed, the chances of his going to jail might be even greater.}} {{smaller block|But that is only part of it.}} {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint. If the individual did complain, the Government would bear the whole cost of prosecuting his case.}} {{smaller block|The defendant, on the other hand, would find himself faced with the necessity of hiring a lawyer and, perhaps, of going through a long series of court proceedings that could very well break him financially.}} {{smaller block|This could become vicious persecution instead of reasonable prosecution.}} {{smaller block|This threat of persecution is no less real in another phase of the proposed civil-rights legislation relating to the creation of a commission empowered to investigate alleged incidents of discrimination, economic boycotts, and the like.}} {{smaller block|If this plan became a reality, a citizen accused of discriminating against a member of a minority, or of applying economic pressure against him, could be ordered to report to a place in Washington at a given time and be subjected to an investigation. His need for counsel and, hence, the expense of defending himself, could be just as great as it would be if he were accused of some crime.}} {{smaller block|All of this is being proposed in the name of civil rights by persons calling themselves liberals.}} {{smaller block|How can we create rights by destroying rights? And how liberal is it?}} Mr. President, I wish to repeat a paragraph in the editorial which I believe is most important. It should appeal to every lawyer, and, in fact, to every citizen. It reads: {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.}} Mr. President, I believe we are setting a very dangerous precedent when the Government can bring suits of the kind provided in the civil-rights bill, even if an individual does not complain. The Government can file a suit in behalf of an individual, even if the individual has not complained, and it can bring a suit for an individual who has complained. In either case, the Government can substitute its name in behalf of the defendant in bringing the case. Furthermore, the Government would bear the cost of prosecuting the case. The poor defendant must pay his own expense. If an individual wishes to bring a case in court, why should he not pay his own expense? Why should the Federal Government bear the expense of a person whose statement may be true or which may not be true? I can foresee untold litigation. I can see all kinds of fabrications being made in order to have cases brought. It is a dangerous bill, Mr. President. It is far more dangerous than I believe the average man on the street has been able to understand. The average man in the street does not realize what is in the bill. I cannot imagine why Members of Congress would even consider passing such a bill. Again I say that it would not even have been introduced, in my opinion, or given any consideration at all, if it were not purely a political bill.

It is entitled “A Wise Provision,” and here is what it has to say on the question of jury trials: {{smaller block|Administration forces fell before six Democrats and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who insisted upon including in the so-called civil-rights bill a proviso guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused in court in civil-rights cases. In supporting the amendment as a poor substitute for killing the bill, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} explained that the section would give civil-rights defendants the same right now enjoyed by trade unionists in labor injunction cases.}} {{smaller block|The development does not, however, meet with the approval of Attorney General Brownell, who has been playing out of position before now in lobbying for controversial and doubtful legislation, arraying section against section and class against class. He complains the proviso would permit practical nullification of proposed civil-rights legislation. In the words of Orphan Annie, “Would that be bad?”}} {{smaller block|One wonders just what the advocates of such legislation are after. Could they be seeking to destroy the Constitution?}} {{smaller block|Everything considered, the section guaranteeing jury trials to defendants in civil-rights cases follows the orderly procedure defined by the Founding Fathers as to the rights and dignity of the individual. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal triumphs of our Constitution as inherited from Magna Carta. There is no reason why any exception should be made to gratify the unilateral zeal of special interests of self-appointed reregulators.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, of July 10, 1957. Here is what it has to say: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|A Principle of Rights: South Making Its Point}}}}}} {{smaller block|More Senators, it appears, are seeing the validity of the South’s insistence on trial by jury as a fixed point of law and due process—{{SIC|bone|borne}} of contention with the civil-rights brigade. They are seeing, surely, what logic underscores: that if this principle falls under the impact of biased thinking against the South, it falls for all. It is not, therefore, a regional issue, but national. The southern protest is not addressed to a narrow, selfish view, but to a view exactly as broad as the Constitution—and as far reaching.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, has paid tribute to the fairness of southern colleagues—having spoken out prior to this showdown for the stated right of due process; and recognizing the progress already made, and voluntarily, on race relations. As a further point of edification, the fact of voting rights enjoyed and practiced in the South should be laid before him.}} {{smaller block|Who, influenced by propaganda to the contrary, has bothered to examine the record in State after State? By what process of competent investigation have these civil-rights firebrands arrived at a conclusion of wholesale indictment?}} {{smaller block|Voting is a privilege, as well as a duty, of citizenship, asserted and protected by law. With that principle there can be no quarrel. The issue is invasion by Federal authority, and methods of enforcement begetting strife by the measures of force contemplated in this iniquitous legislation.}} {{smaller block|There are States, outside the South, where people of voting age are denied the right to vote—Indians, for example. Negro citizens do vote, under the same rules of eligibilty applied in the case of white citizens; and if any Senator doubts that, he should come this way and watch.}} {{smaller block|In Tennessee, and other Southern States, he would find Negroes holding public office. In Nashville they elect their own representatives to city council; they have membership on the school board. They staff their schools. They are employed on the police department and the fire department.}} {{smaller block|Facts, it appears, are coming out in the Senate and registering—and they are facts answering organized diatribe; substantiating both the concept of justice and of constitutional law.}} {{smaller block|The South does not stand at the bar of public opinion convicted—just accused. It is not on the defensive. It is defending a basic right of responsible treatment, and the place of that defense is the floor of the Senate.}} {{smaller block|As manifested by the implied readiness of opponents to concede the trial-by-jury point, its stand to date is influencing that decision. It cannot compromise any principle to the detriment of established, constitutional rights, much less yield to the whip of caprice.}} A column written by Dr. John Temple Graves, one of the outstanding men in the South and in the Nation, printed in the Charleston, S. C., News and Courier of July 8, 1957, is entitled “South’s Most Civil Right Is Right To Be Let Alone,” reads as follows: {{smaller block|“The right to be let alone.”}} {{smaller block|That is our most civil liberty.}} {{smaller block|Remember it and be of good cheer as Senators from the South fight against the so-called civil-liberty bill.}} {{smaller block|Civil liberty is indivisible.}} {{smaller block|It is the whole Constitution, the whole ideal. When you sacrifice one part for another you decrease and endanger the total. When the right to jury trial is impeached to save the right to vote there is net loss, and the same loss runs the whole constitutional gamut.}} {{smaller block|Basically, all American rights are civil rights. States’ rights are civil. The rights of Congress against the Supreme Court are civil, and of the executive against each, and vice versa.}} {{smaller block|And when the Federal Government (or the State) invades areas never intended or authorized there is violation of the most civil right of all—the right to be let alone.}} {{smaller block|If the Founding Fathers made a mistake, if they failed to look ahead enough, if they should have anticipated a future so social and interrelated that nothing short of a totalitarian central government and law would serve, we should face it and get a new Constitution. Certainly we should not undertake to cover the situation by ignoring the Constitution in one place and insisting on it in another, sacrificing one civil right to make another safe.}} {{smaller block|Most of us believe no mistake was made, that liberty and justice can still be had in the great terms of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|If the President could just be reached on this jury-trial issue in the civil-force bill many of us who go on liking him believe he would see the South’s case as the Nation’s. The Baltimore Sun nails it thus: “The injunction contemplated would forbid actions already forbidden under Federal criminal laws. This being so, the injunction procedure is obviously a judicial shortcut, and one which would deprive those cited for contempt of a right which would be guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution (if they) were indicted for the same offense. It is proposed to assure one right—the right to vote—by ignoring another right—the right to a jury trial.”}} {{smaller block|As pointed out here many times, jury trials should be stretched just as far as contempt is stretched, you would think. The civil-rights bill would stretch contempt into areas that ordinarily involve jury trial. It should not be permitted to deny jury trial, therefore, on the plea that contempt cases don’t allow for them.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.)

The first of these statements was made before the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on February 26.

Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question, with the understanding that he will not lose his right to the floor, and the understanding that it will not be considered a second speech or jeopardize the Senator’s right to the floor? Mr. THURMOND. If unanimous consent is granted, under the conditions which the distinguished Senator has outlined, I will be pleased to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from California? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I shall preface my question by this brief statement of fact, namely, since the House has adopted a ''sine die'' adjournment resolution, and there is no fixed period for adjournment, and the Senate can, and in my judgment will, continue in session as long as it is necessary to complete its business, I put these questions in all seriousness to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina: First. What is the Senator’s purpose by his interesting but prolonged remarks? Is it a matter of education of the Senate or of the country? Second. Is it to establish a record of discussion on the floor of the Senate? Third. Is it merely to delay a vote on the civil rights bill, which is the pending business? Fourth. Is it to prevent a final vote on H. R. 6127, the so-called civil rights bill? Fifth. Is it to make friends and to influence other Senators in the southern position? Sixth. Is it to emphasize to the Senate the need for a change, beginning in January, of rule XXII.? There may be other reasons, but I should be very much interested—and I believe the Senate would be interested also—if the Senator from South Carolina would agree to indicate the purpose of his prolonged address. Mr. THURMOND. I would merely say that my purpose in making the extended address is for educational purposes—to educate the Senate and the people of the country. There is no question in my mind that the so-called civil-rights bill violates the Constitution of the United States. I do not believe the Senator was in the Chamber when I spoke earlier and cited a decision pointing out that criminal contempt has been held to be a crime and that under the Constitution of the United States it is provided that a man charged with crime shall get a jury trial. The so-called compromise bill provides that if a person is sentenced by a judge by being fined more than $300 or imprisoned for more than 45 days, he will get a jury trial. The Constitution does not say that. The Constitution provides that if he is charged with a crime, he shall get a jury trial. I believe in the Constitution. I believe that the Constitution is clear. I hope the Senator will take the time one of these days—probably he will not have an opportunity soon—to read the address I have made in which I have gone into these matters and have tried to delineate them and point them out for the benefit of the American people, as well as for the benefit of the Senate. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am confident that the pending bill is a dangerous bill in a number of ways. I have pointed out that it is necessary that every State in the Nation have laws to protect the right to vote. The Senator’s own State of California has such laws. I started with the State of Alabama and read the laws for every State. Those laws were confirmed to be accurate by the Library of Congress. I read the State laws beginning with Alabama and ending with Wyoming. Every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote. I say there is no need for the pending bill. This is a matter that comes under the Constitution, and it should be left to the States. It is a State matter. It is not a Federal matter. Furthermore, the Federal Government has invaded the field. It has already invaded the field. I believe it made a mistake when it did so. I should like to invite the attention of the Senator—again I do not believe he was in the Chamber when I referred to it previously—section 594 of chapter 29 of title 18 of the United States Code. That section provides: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield again under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. That is the Federal law today. If anyone is being denied his right to vote today he has recourse to that statute. If anyone is being denied the right to vote and complains about it, the Justice Department fails to do its duty if it fails to prosecute under that section of the Federal statute. Either that condition exists or there are no just complaints. The Committee on the Judiciary held hearings for months on the question, and it did not have before it one valid complaint. It had some fictitious complaints from a parish in Mississippi. It turned out that they asked a witness to return the next day, but he did not return, and it proved that the whole testimony was a fabrication, according to the chairman of the committee. Therefore, there are State laws which protect the right to vote, and there is a Federal law which protects the right to vote. Under that act, if a man is tried, he would have a right to trial by jury. Under the so-called compromise, if he is tried, he would not have the right of trial by jury if the sentence were less than $300 or if the imprisonment were for less than 45 days. Ninety-nine percent of all the criminal contempt cases would fall within that sphere. I was a circuit court judge for 8 years and heard cases all over South Carolina. I cannot remember the case of even one man who was sentenced by me or by any other circuit court judge in South Carolina for contempt of court for longer than 45 days in jail. Therefore, the effect of the so-called compromise is to deny to the citizens of South Carolina and of the United States the right to a jury trial, as is guaranteed in several places in the Constitution. That is the reason I have made this extended address. It is to call to the attention of the Senate and to the people of the Nation that the pending bill is a dangerous bill. In my opinion, it is purely a political bill. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions as heretofore stated? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I can assure the Senator, whether we make that proviso in our remarks back and forth, the Senator will be fully protected in his rights to the floor. Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield to the Senator from California under those conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I did listen to the earlier part of the Senator’s address. I was in the Chamber at the time. I must confess that for several hours I did get some sleep and was able to freshen up and to change my clothes, and I am now back in the Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. I notice that the Senator looks very fresh at about 6:45 in the morning. Mr. KNOWLAND. Yes. I am glad to be here with the Senator. Of course, the question which obviously disturbed a majority of the two Houses of Congress was that the statutes which are now on the statute books were not effective in protecting those constitutional rights. The Senators who felt that way are just as sincere as the Senator from South Carolina. I know the Senator from South Carolina has a deep conviction and is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. However, I refer to the provisions of section 1 of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, which provides: {{smaller block|The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.}} Section 2 of the 15th amendment reads: {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.}} Both sections point up the fundamental constitutional right of American citizens and clearly underscore the fact that Congress not only has the right, but the responsibility in this field. The Senator may feel that in his State or perhaps in other States—and I have no doubt it is true in many areas of the South—there is no problem relative to the voting rights of American citizens. But at least the predominant opinion in Congress indicates that there is also a strong feeling that in many areas—and this may not be related only to the South, for that matter—the full rights under the 15th amendment are not being effectively implemented. It was for that reason that the House, by a vote, I believe, of more than 2 to 1, and the Senate finally by a very substantial majority, passed the bill, which is now going through another legislative process. It finally came back to the Senate floor after the House had concurred and amended the Senate version, as the House had a right to do. My only point is that obviously the Senate of the United States is going to stay in session and complete work on the proposed legislation. It may sit for the remainder of the week, and it may sit next month and, if necessary, the month after that. I wish to emphasize to the Senator from South Carolina that, so far as the recommendations of the minority leader might be followed—and I know of no difference of opinion so far as the majority is concerned, although I cannot speak for the majority, and I would not attempt to do so—there will be no ''sine die'' adjournment resolution adopted by the Senate which would permit Congress to adjourn the first session of the 85th Congress until we have completed the work on the pending legislation, which is the civil-rights bill, and completed the work on the proposed legislation dealing with the mutual aid appropriation bill. Therefore, there is no fixed hour and date of adjournment. I was wondering, therefore, why the Senator was making his extended address, and that is the reason I asked the questions I asked of him. He said he was making the address for the purpose of an educational campaign, for the benefit of the country and the Senate. I was wondering whether he hoped to prevent passage of the bill or merely delay its passage, or whether he had some other reason in mind. Mr. THURMOND. In answer to the distinguished Senator, I wish to say that I should be highly pleased if the bill did not pass. I should like to ask the Senator this question: Under the statute which I have just read—and that is not a State statute, but a Federal statute, which provides “whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote as he may choose,” and so forth, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both—is there any deficiency in the statute? Is that not as clear as it can be? If anyone interferes with another’s right to vote, or intimidates, or if he threatens or coerces, he shall be punished. Is that not what it says? If that is the case, why does the Senator believe we should have another statute on voting added to it? Is this statute deficient? The Senator says the present laws are defective, as I understand. The statute I have read is a criminal statute. It will punish a guilty person by fining him for as much as $1,000 and could send him to jail for a year. In what respect does the Senator believe the statute is defective? Mr. KNOWLAND. I shall not at this hour get into a detailed legal argument, because I am not a lawyer, but a newspaperman; furthermore, I would not attempt to put myself up against the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, who has been a judge in his own State and has been for a long time a distinguished member of the bar. I have listened to the arguments on the floor of the Senate. I have read a number of the reports and the proceedings, and I have had some discussions with people who are familiar with the circumstances connected with the subject. I do know that those in the Department of Justice who have been concerned with this problem apparently feel that that statute is not effective so far as the constitutional rights of American citizens are concerned. Secondly, I am not in a position to argue with the Senator relative to what the legal definition of coercion is. I do say to the Senator that I believe there are various forms of coercion, some of which might be very difficult to prove in a court of law, but which might still be equally effective in keeping people from exercising their voting rights. The coercion might consist of economic pressure, or there might be some difficulty about finding work in a community or there might be the difficulty of a small merchant maintaining his business. It might be very difficult to trace such things to the fact that a person had tried to go to a voting place on voting day to cast his vote. Nevertheless, such coercion could be quite effective in keeping a person from exercising his right to the voting franchise. It is also true that in the debate which has taken place on the floor of the Senate it was disclosed that in one of the parishes or voting districts in a Southern State which had been mentioned on the floor of the Senate, there had been the situation where certain facts were laid before a grand jury in that particular State, and the facts were very clear, but still no action was taken in that particular situation. I will say to the Senator that it should be remembered that the bill has now been stripped practically to a voting-rights bill. Furthermore, I certainly believe that the fundamental right of an American citizen in this day and age should be protected, because every citizen has the right to vote. If that right is assured to a citizen, in time he may help himself secure the other civil rights to which he is entitled and which are guaranteed to him by the 14th amendment. The bill before us, as I say, is primarily a voting-rights bill. Those who have had some responsibility in this field—and I think some knowledge of it also—feel that the procedure outlined in the bill would at least facilitate the exercise of the voting rights of American citizens in all sections of the country. Mr. THURMOND. I might say to the distinguished Senator that he is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. Even though he is not a lawyer, he knows a statute when he hears one read. The criminal statute I have read is just as plain as any criminal statute can be. I am in favor of having every qualified voter enjoy the right of franchise. I want to say that in my State every qualified voter has that privilege. No one—white, colored, or anyone else—is denied the right to vote in South Carolina. The statute I have read protects people from being coerced and intimidated and threatened in any way. If there is any violation of law now, a person who is discriminated against may go to the Department of Justice, and under the statute I have read a violator of that statute will be either sent to jail or fined or both. What the proposed compromise would do would be to take away that right of trial by jury. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say that both the original bill as passed by the two Houses and the final form now before us are not intended to deprive anyone of his vote, but to encourage the constitutional right of people to enjoy the right to vote. The fact of the matter is that quite a due process procedure is set up. If a person comes forward and alleges that he has been denied the right, there is a procedure set up by which he may go into Federal court, under his constitutional right, under the 15th amendment and the other constitutional rights he has, and make certain allegations. The judge must make certain findings. If he finds the facts are correct, he issues a court order, directed to what we in our State would call the registrar of voters, but what in other States might be the county clerk, or whatever else he might be, and says, in effect, “You are violating the constitutional rights of this man. He is being discriminated against under the laws of this State. Put him on the registration rolls.” If the local official complies with the law and complies with the Constitution, nobody is fined, and nobody goes to jail. It is only if the local official or the local individuals involved in the case ignore the order of the court and, in effect, say that “we will not comply with the order seeking to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens,” that the judge may, under either civil contempt, which may be used in most cases, and may in most cases be effective, or under the criminal contempt provisions, impose the penalties. So this bill is not seeking to punish people. To the contrary, it is seeking to gain for American citizens the very fundamental right to vote. If nobody is denied the right to vote in the State of the Senator from South Carolina, there will not be a single citizen in the State of South Carolina who will be involved in either a civil or criminal contempt. If nobody is being denied the right to vote in any other State, there will not be a single citizen, man or woman, who will be involved in either civil or criminal contempt under this bill. There will not be large numbers of persons who will be fined or jailed for 10 days or 30 days or 45 days, to force compliance with the constitutional rights of American citizens. That is going to be so only if the conditions which the Senator says prevail in his State do not prevail in other areas of the country and large numbers of American citizens are denied their constitutional rights. It seems to me it is all clear and simple. The Senator has nothing to fear in his own State or in any other State, because if nobody is being denied the right to vote, nobody can be punished by either civil or criminal contempt proceedings under the bill. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to say, in reply to that statement, whether a single person in South Carolina would be affected by the bill or not would not change my opinion about the bill, because the bill as passed by the House affects American citizens everywhere. The bill the Senate passed delineated and made a distinction between civil contempt, the purpose of which is to bring about compliance with an order, and criminal contempt, the purpose of which is to punish for a crime. A criminal contempt has been held, in a court decision which I cited earlier today, to be a crime. Criminal contempt is a crime. The bill as passed by the House provides for punishment for criminal contempt and provides that a judge can try the case, in his discretion. The defendant does not get a jury trial for a criminal contempt unless the punishment goes beyond 45 days or beyond a $300 fine. I am not concerned about the people of South Carolina violating the voting rights of citizens, because I do not think anybody in South Carolina is violating anyone’s voting rights. I presume this bill is aimed chiefly at helping the Negroes, is it not, Senator? Mr. KNOWLAND. No. The bill would be aimed at any American citizen, without regard to race, creed, or color, whose voting rights under the 15th amendment would be denied. Mr. THURMOND. As a matter of fact, it is the Negro whom it is chiefly aimed to help. Is that not a fact? Mr. KNOWLAND. I suppose most allegations of a denial of voting rights come from colored citizens of the United States, but I assume the same situation might apply to Indians, in some instances, or might apply to others who might be entitled, under the Constitution, to the right to vote; but it is not aimed at any one race or one section of the country. The Constitution, as the Senator well knows, and I think would not dispute, applies to all 48 States of the Union, and not merely to a part of the Union. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is correct, but I refer to the practical purpose of the bill. I understood that was so admitted, and one reason why the right of trial by jury was attempted to be taken away was that southern juries would not convict in cases involving the right of Negroes to vote. For the Senator’s information, in my State I would like him to know that in the 1952 election President Eisenhower lacked just a few votes of carrying the State. The Negroes voted in heavy numbers. The Negro newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer, of Columbia, S. C., published by and for Negroes, bragged about the fact that they were responsible for winning the State for Stevenson. It said that more than 80,000 of them had voted in that election, and that represented about one-fourth of the entire votes cast in that general election. The Negroes of our State comprise only 40 percent of the population. If they voted to the extent of almost one-fourth of all the votes cast in that election—and they probably voted more, because they admitted they cast that many—think it is indicative that the Negroes are voting in large numbers. Of course, they are not so well qualified to vote as are the White people. I do not know of a Negro in South Carolina who is qualified and wants to vote who is denied that privilege. So Negroes are voting in my State. Mr. KNOWLAND. I might say to the Senator I was in his State in 1952. I happened to travel with then General Eisenhower, who was a candidate for the presidency before he became President of the United States. I attended meetings with the President-to-be. The point I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not dispute the fact, as stated by the distinguished Senator, that a large number—perhaps a good majority—of the Negro citizens of this country or of his State may be registered Democrats. I think they may continue to vote for the Democratic ticket, so far as that is concerned. They may have been responsible, as the Senator says, for having carried South Carolina for Stevenson— Mr. THURMOND. That is what they said. Mr. KNOWLAND. Or, at least, that is what they said; but that would not change my viewpoint in the slightest, as a Republican, if they were entitled as American citizens to vote, even though they were responsible for the defeat of my party in that State. I might say that in the northern areas, the heavily populated areas, with large Negro populations, for the most part Negroes have voted the Democratic ticket, and generally for New Deal candidates, and it certainly is not politically advantageous to my party when they vote that way. That still would not change my viewpoint that, if they, are American citizens and if under the Constitution they are entitled to the right of any other citizen to vote, which the Constitution clearly gives them, both the Senate and the House, as well as the executive branch of the Government and the local public officials and the national public officials, have the responsibility to see that they are not denied the right to vote and to exercise their constitutional rights, whether the citizens may be predominantly Democratic, predominantly Republican, or predominantly Independent. That point is not at issue here. The issue is whether they are entitled, under the qualifications of the State laws, and under the Constitution of the United States, to vote. If they are, they should be assured that every public official who raises his hand to support both the State and National Constitution has the responsibility to see that citizens get the right to vote when they want to exercise it. In this country, we do not have coerced voting, where citizens have to go to the polls. But if citizens want to do so, they should be allowed to do so, without any direct intimidation or without any of the more subtle, indirect intimidations or coercions which sometimes can be practiced, as the distinguished Senator knows. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator if he has had evidence presented to him which has convinced him that there is a need for this bill to be passed, in spite of all the laws the States have to protect the right to vote, and in spite of section 594 of the United States criminal code which protects the right to vote. Has the Senator ever had evidence presented to him that convinced him it is necessary to pass the bill, in spite of the laws of the States and the Federal statutes? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator if I did not feel that it was both necessary and desirable to pass the bill, I would not have supported it. I believe there have been sufficient facts presented to indicate that a bill of this type is both necessary and desirable. I have never taken the position on the floor, or publicly or privately, in which I have made a blanket indictment and stated that southern juries would not convict, because I have the highest respect for the people of the South, for their responsibilities of citizenship, for their loyalty to this country, and for the fact that they have served in uniform side by side with citizens from other sections of the country in fighting off our enemies in the various struggles in which this Nation has been engaged. I have never suggested that there should be a blanket indictment of a whole people under any circumstances. I do not now say that the facts outlined by the Senator from South Carolina, with respect to his own State, are not correct. Of course, I do not know his State as well as does the Senator from South Carolina, but if he tells me that there are no cases where a person is deprived of his right to vote, where a Negro citizen, if he possesses precisely the same qualifications that would be expected of a white citizen— Mr. THURMOND. None that I know about. Mr. KNOWLAND. That he has exactly the same rights to register, exactly the same rights to vote, I take the Senator’s word for it, because I have great respect for him. I will say, however, that in the facts presented by the Attorney General’s office before the committee, relative to another State in the broad general area of the South—I might say the same thing might apply in an area of the North or the West, for that matter, because what we are seeking to protect is the rights of American citizens in all 48 States of the Union—it was shown that large numbers of persons who had been registered were purged from the registration rolls. The predominant number, if not all of the purgees, were members of the Negro race, with very few, if any, members of the white race. Purely on the law of averages, to a reasonable man, one would not have to be a lawyer to know that it does not seem to be a matter of chance. Then when they sought to re-register, according to the facts presented, the local registrar indicated, though there were several thousand of them, he could not register more than 50 a day. That meant those persons had to stand in line for long periods of time, which would naturally be a discouraging thing in trying to get back on the registration rolls. There was used the apparently rather interesting and novel provision of verbal question. I doubt very much whether many, if any, Members of the Senate could have answered some of the questions which were asked. If a question was answered one way, that apparently was not the right answer. If the question was answered the other way, which any reasonable person might have done, that apparently was not the right answer. Perhaps the same position would have been taken by the local registrar if the citizen involved had been of any other race, but, again, to a reasonable person it seems that there was at least an effort made to discourage American citizens from exercising the right of franchise. I again reiterate that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that occurrence did not take place in the State of South Carolina. The Senator has made a very fine statement of the rights the citizens of his State enjoy. I think all Americans will rejoice in that fact. I want to say there is nothing in the proposal before the Senate which will in the least change the power of the States to prescribe the qualifications of their voters. They have that right under our Federal system. I think, however, the States have the obligation not merely to give lip service to, but to follow both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and that whenever such qualifications are prescribed, whatever they may be, they should be applied impartially and equitably to every American citizen, regardless of his race, color, creed, or previous condition of servitude. Those are the words of the Constitution. Those are the words that every citizen occupying a position as a registrar, a county clerk, or a local voting commissioner has a full obligation to comply with. Such persons should not apply one rule to one group of citizens and a different rule to a different group of citizens. If they will apply the laws with equity and with impartiality, then they have nothing to fear in the slightest in the way of either civil or criminal contempt under this bill, at least in my judgment. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator from California one more question, and with that I will desist. Although the Senator is not a lawyer, he is one of the best read men in the United States. I imagine he is an expert on the Constitution, also, because he is a very deep student. I wonder how the Senator could agree to this compromise, which would deprive people in criminal contempt cases of the right to a trial by jury, when the Constitution is so clear on that point? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator that I will leave the matter to the lawyers, to debate later the specific point which the Senator mentions. I, at least, have heard of no section of the country where there is a provision for a trial by jury in an equity proceeding where there is a contempt of the court. Mr. THURMOND. I am speaking of criminal contempt. Mr. KNOWLAND. I know, but I am speaking also of a contempt of the court in carrying out its order in an equity proceeding. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to that I will say to the Senator I agree that in civil contempt cases under the present law the court has the right to use its power to bring about compliance with an order, in civil contempt cases. However, I am speaking of criminal contempt cases, which are provided for in the compromise bill. The bill provides for criminal contempt actions. Criminal contempt is a crime. I have here a decision which sustains that point. Since criminal contempt is a crime, there is a right to a trial by jury. The Constitution of the United States in article III., section 2, says this: {{smaller block|The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases or Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; * * *.}} The sixth amendment reads: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions—}} That is what we are referring to. We refer to a criminal prosecution for criminal contempt. It is a prosecution by the judge, who is the prosecutor, the legislature, the judge, and the jury. The court has held that criminal contempt is a crime, and the Constitution makes reference to all criminal prosecutions. We refer here to a criminal prosecution. The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * *.}} And so forth. In the seventh amendment to the Constitution there is also a reference to a jury trial. The amendment I have read is exactly to the point. If the Senator had provided in the compromise bill that the judge could impose a sentence of imprisonment for 1 day—not 45 days, but even 1 day—or a fine of even $1 in a criminal-contempt case, he would be giving the judge the power to try a man without a jury in violation of the Constitution, even though the punishment would be negligible. What I am opposed to is the fact that the compromise bill, the way it is written and the way it has come to the Senate, violates the Constitution of the United States. I am vitally concerned about that. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator will yield further, then I shall not interrupt him any more. All I can say to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is that the highest law officers of the Government of the United States are the Attorney General of the United States and representatives of the Department of Justice. They, too, have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The most able lawyers in the Department of Justice have looked over the proposed legislation, as well. In their judgment, it is constitutional and it does not violate the Constitution of the United States. The Senator is entitled, of course, to make the assertion that in his judgment the provision is not constitutional. Such arguments come up even before the Supreme Court of the United States, as the distinguished Senator knows, from time to time, as well as before other courts. Sometimes the judges can agree by a unanimous vote as to what they think is constitutional or what they think is unconstitutional. However, over the long period of our history there have been many notable cases relative to the constitutionality of some act of Congress or the constitutional rights of some individual as to which the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest judicial tribunal of the land, has divided on a 5-to-4 decision. The Senator’s assertion that the provision is not constitutional—I am sure the Senator would be the first to admit—does not make it unconstitutional. I quite admit that the assertion of any qualified lawyer on this side, who might make the assertion the provision was constitutional, would not, by that assertion, make it so. Nor would the opinion of the Attorney General make it so. At least I do not want the record to show that merely by having the Senator make the assertion that in his judgment it is not constitutional, necessarily, ''ipso facto'', that assertion makes a fact. Mr. THURMOND. Of course, we remember also that the Attorney General in the original bill wanted to transfer these matters to the equity side of the court to deprive citizens of the right of jury trial. We have to keep that in mind. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the distinguished Senator will yield further, I wish to thank him for his courtesy in yielding. I hope he has enjoyed our discussion as much as I have. I hope perhaps it has been a brief respite to him, under all the circumstances. I would stay to listen to the Senator, but I have a breakfast engagement with the President at the White House. I know under those circumstances the distinguished Senator will excuse me. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to yield to the distinguished Senator, for whom I have such high admiration. Mr. President, I continue to read my statement: {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTIES}}}} {{smaller block|Before taking up specific provisions of several of the bills pending before the committee, I should like to read for you two of the basic provisions in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|The ninth amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”}} {{smaller block|The 10th amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”}} {{smaller block|Those last two amendments of the Bill of Rights make clear the intent of the Founding Fathers. Their intent was that all rights not specifically listed, and all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government, would be held inalienable by the States, and the people.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS UNALTERED}}}} {{smaller block|This basic concept of the Bill of Rights has never been constitutionally amended, no matter what the Federal courts have done, no matter what the executive branch of the Federal Government has done, and no matter what the Congress might have done or attempted to do in the past.

DOOLEY WAS RIGHT}}}} {{smaller block|The truth is very much as Mr. Dooley, the writer-philosopher, stated it many years ago, that the Supreme Court follows the election returns.}} {{smaller block|If he were alive today, I believe Mr. Dooley would note also that the election returns follow the Supreme Court.}} {{smaller block|And now it looks as if some people are trying to follow both the Supreme Court and the election returns. Having made these general comments, I would like to comment specifically on some of the pending proposals. First, on the proposal for the establishment of a Commission on Civil Rights.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|COMMISSION UNNEEDED}}}} {{smaller block|There is absolutely no reason for the establishment of such a commission. The Congress and its committees can perform all of the investigative functions which would come within the sphere of constitutional authority.}} {{smaller block|I do not believe the members of any commission, however established, could represent the views of the people of this country as well as the Members of Congress can. I hope that the members of this committee and the Members of the Congress will not permit themselves to be persuaded that anyone else can look after the problems of the people any better, or as well, as the Congress can.}} {{smaller block|Furthermore, there is no justification for an investigation in this field.}} {{smaller block|I hope this committee will recommend against the establishment of such a commission.}} {{smaller block|Another bill would provide for an additional Assistant Attorney General to head a department given by the Attorney General last year. I have searched the testimony given by the Attorney General last year before the committees of the Congress with regard to this proposal, and I have found no valid reason why an additional Assistant Attorney General is needed.}} {{smaller block|I can understand how an additional Assistant Attorney General might be needed if the Congress were to approve a Civil Rights Division and enact some of the other proposals in the so-called civil-rights bills. But they are proposals not dealing with criminal offenses—they deal with efforts of the Justice Department to enter into civil actions against citizens.}} {{smaller block|If the Justice Department is permitted to go into the various States to stir up and agitate persons to seek injunctions and to enter suits against their neighbors, then the Attorney General might need another assistant. However, the Justice Department should avoid civil litigation, instead of seeking to promote it.}} {{smaller block|I hope the members of this committee will recognize this proposal as one which could turn neighbor against neighbor, and will treat it as it deserves by voting against it.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|WORSE THAN ''EX POST FACTO''}}}} {{smaller block|Another proposal of the so-called civil-rights bills is closely related to the one I have just discussed. It would provide that—}} {{smaller block|“Whenever any persons have engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action * * * the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States but for the benefit of the real party in interest, a civil action or other proper proceeding or redress or preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order.”}} {{smaller block|Now that proposal is one which I would label as even more insidious than any ''ex post facto'' law which could possibly be imagined.}} {{smaller block|An ''ex post facto'' law would at least apply to some real act committed by a person which was not in violation of law at the time. The point is, however, in such instance the person would actually have committed the act.}} {{smaller block|This proposal would permit the Justice Department to secure an injunction from a Federal judge or to institute a civil suit on behalf of some person against a second person when the latter had committed no act at all. An injunction might be secured from a Federal judge charging a violation of the law without any evidence that a person even intended to do so.}} {{smaller block|How any person could support by oath a charge as to whether another person was about to engage in violating the law is beyond my understanding.}} {{smaller block|Many of the pioneers who settled this new continent came because they wanted to escape the tyranny of European despots. They wanted their families to live in a new land where everybody could be guaranteed the right to trial by jury, instead of the decrees of dictators.}} {{smaller block|Congress, as the directly elected representatives of the people, should be the last to consider depriving the people of jury trials. We should never consider it at all. But, if this proposal to strengthen the civil-rights statutes is approved, that would be its effect.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|AGENTS COULD MEDDLE}}}} {{smaller block|Under this provision, the Attorney General could dispatch his agents throughout the land. They would be empowered to meddle with private business, police elections, intervene in private lawsuits, and breed litigation generally. They would keep our people in a constant state of apprehension and harassment. Liberty quickly perishes under such government, as we have seen it perish in foreign nations.}} {{smaller block|A further provision of that same proposal would permit the bypassing of State authorities in such cases. The Federal district courts would take over original jurisdiction, regardless of administrative remedies, and the right of appeal to the State courts.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|STATE COURTS STRIPPED}}}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and vest the Federal courts with that authority.}} {{smaller block|Still another proposal among the so-called civil-rights bills would “provide a means of further securing and protecting the right to vote.” I have had a search made of the laws of all 48 States and the right to vote is protected by law in every State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|SOUTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION PROTECTS VOTER}}}} {{smaller block|In South Carolina, my own State, the constitution of 1895 provides in article III., section 5, that the general assembly shall provide by law for crimes against the election laws and, further, for right of appeal to the State supreme court for any person denied registration.}} {{smaller block|The South Carolina election statute spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court. It also requires a special session of the court if no session is scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|Article II., section 15 of South Carolina’s constitution, provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State.}} {{smaller block|In pursuance of the constitutional provisions, the South Carolina General Assembly has passed laws to punish anyone who shall threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage.

Mr. President, on August 6 I made my third address on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced my vigorous objections to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127, as amended by the Senate, which was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of this bill. I shall now repeat my several objections to this milder form of the bill as I stated them on August 6. These were my words at that time: {{smaller block|Mr. President, I am opposed to the creation of a Commission on Civil Rights as proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127.}} {{smaller block|To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a Commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, such an investigation should be conducted by the States or by an appropriate committee of the Congress, acting within the jurisdiction of Congressional authority. It should not be done by a commission.}} {{smaller block|I also object to part I. of H. R. 6127 because of the fact that it places duties upon the Commission and endows it with powers which no governmental commission should have.}} {{smaller block|In fact, Mr. President, the language of the bill proposing to establish this Commission is so broad and so general that it may encompass more evils than have yet been detected in it.}} {{smaller block|Under its duties and powers the Commission would be able to subpena citizens to appear before it to answer questions on many subjects outside the scope of elections and voting rights.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(1) Investigate allegations in writing under oath or affirmation that certain citizens of the United States are being deprived of their right to vote and have that vote counted by reason of their color, race, religion, or national origin; which writing, under oath or affirmation, shall set forth the facts upon which such belief or beliefs are based.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, the bill, in part IV., contains an additional protection of the voting right of citizens above and beyond present State and Federal laws. Provision is made for enforcement of part IV., and there were already sufficient enforcement provisions to carry out the intent of the existing State and Federal laws. I do not see how a commission could enhance officers nor the powers of law enforcement officers nor the enforcement and punitive authority of the courts.}} {{smaller block|I can see no valid reason why a commission should be created, in addition to the legal enforcement procedures, unless the purpose is for the Commission to stir up litigation among our people.}} {{smaller block|This bill has been advertised, promoted, and ballyhooed as a right-to-vote bill. However, I want to cite two paragraphs which give broad authority for investigations other than alleged violations of a person’s right to vote.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|“(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|Instead of limiting the power of the Commission, these two paragraphs provide it with ''carte blanche'' authority to probe into and meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals which the Commission and members of its staff could conjure up.}} {{smaller block|I want to call particular attention to a divergence in language between paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 refers to a study of “legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection.” Paragraph 3 says “appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection.”}} {{smaller block|The significant thing here is the omission of the specific intent of paragraph 2. Although the language of paragraph 2 is obscure and omits a governmental reference, it obviously must refer to State and local governments, else it would be redundant and have no meaning at all.}} {{smaller block|Also, as I pointed out, investigations conducted under paragraphs 2 and 3 could go far afield from the question of voting rights. The Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools, and elsewhere, under the authorization of these two paragraphs. Combining its authority to investigate on an unlimited scale and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions, the Commission would have a powerful weapon.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I do not believe the people of this country realize the virtually unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. While the Commission would have no power to implement its desires, I do not believe the people of this country want such a totalitarian type of persuasion imposed upon them.}} {{smaller block|Part I. of H. R. 6127 purports to create a Civil Rights Commission. Actually, it would create a traveling investigation commission.}} {{smaller block|Section 103(b) of part I. also would place tremendous power within the grasp of the Attorney General with reference to members of the Commission “otherwise in the service of the Government.” The clear implication is that whoever drafted this scheme to send traveling agents over the country intended to make use of certain members of the executive branch of the Federal Government. I don’t believe it would be necessary to look further than the Justice Department to determine where Commission members already in Government service would be secured. By placing his employees on the Commission, the Attorney General would transform the traveling agents into an additional investigative arm of the Justice Department.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I next call attention to the potential abuse found in section 102(g) under the innocuous title, “Rules of Procedure of the Commission.” That section provides that “no evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be released or used in public sessions without the consent of the Commission. Whoever releases or uses in public without the consent of the Commission evidence or testimony taken in executive session shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than 1 year.”}} {{smaller block|In an editorial of July 26, 1957, the Washington Post very correctly pointed out how this section could be used to imprison reporters and other citizens for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them.}} {{smaller block|This editorial provides a penetrating and enlightening criticism of this section. Because of its pertinency and fine analysis, I shall read the last three paragraphs of the editorial which is entitled “Open Rights Hearings,” which states:}} {{smaller block|“The bill contains an invitation to the Commission to operate behind closed doors. It provides that ‘if the Commission determines that evidence or testimony at any hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, it shall * * * receive such evidence or testimony in executive session * * *.’ Some closed sessions may be necessary to avoid unfair reflections upon individuals, but these should certainly be an exception to the general rule. In our opinion, this section ought to be rewritten in more positive vein to provide that sessions of the Commission should be open to the public, unless it should find that closed hearings were essential to avoid unfairness.}} {{smaller block|“The House also wrote into the bill a dangerous section providing for the fining or imprisonment for not more than 1 year of anyone who might ‘release or use in public,’ without the consent of the Commission, any testimony taken behind closed doors. If the Commission should choose to operate under cover, without any valid reason to do so, newspaper reporters and other citizens could be jailed for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This is a penalty that has been shunned even in matters affecting national security. Such a provision is an invitation to abuse and a serious menace to the right of the people to know about the activities of governmental agencies.}} {{smaller block|“It is well to remember that this would not be merely a study commission. In addition it would be under obligation to investigate allegations that persons were being deprived of their rights under the 14th and 15th amendments. It could subpena witnesses and documents and appeal to the courts for enforcement of such edicts. Its powers would be such that it should be held to scrupulous rules of fairness. To encourage the Commission to operate in secret, and then to penalize news mediums and citizens for disclosing what should have been public in the first place, would be the sort of mistake that Congress ought to avoid at the outset.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I think the points made in the editorial are clear and valid. Secrecy in the activities of such a Commission could only lead to a denial of the rights of an individual rather than to protection of his rights.}} {{smaller block|Another subject which must not be passed over is the subpena power of the Commission. Section 105(f) provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding Commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed.}} {{smaller block|Neither would the power contained in section 105(g) which provides that Federal courts shall have the power, upon application by the Attorney General, to issue “an order requiring” a witness to answer a subpena of the Commission and “any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.”}} {{smaller block|The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority of the traditional American factfinding commission. I look with suspicion upon such a Commission so endowed with authority, and I object to its establishment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to discuss another reason, briefly, why I would be opposed to the establishment of the Commission proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. Every appropriation bill which has come before the Senate this year has been reduced by the Senate below the budget request. The people of this country have called upon the Members of Congress to reduce the costs of government, not to increase them by creating new agencies or commissions.}} {{smaller block|The advocates of the Commission might argue that the cost of its operation would not be great, but nowhere in the records of the hearings have I found an estimate of what the total cost would be. If the Commission were to exist only for the 2 years provided in the bill, the compensation and ''per diem'' allowance of Commission members would amount to more than a quarter of a million dollars, not counting their travel allowances.}} {{smaller block|Since there is no limitation on the number of personnel which might be appointed by the Commission, there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of personnel salaries and expenses. Since the Commission is designed to travel over the country at will, very heavy travel expenses undoubtedly would be incurred.}} {{smaller block|The taxpayers would never know how many of their tax dollars were wasted by virtue of the seemingly innocuous language in section 105(e). Unknown, concealed costs are not, however, the only dangers lurking in that subsection. A serious departure from sound legislative procedure is also involved.}} {{smaller block|In the past, when creating an agency or commission, Congress retained control of its creation by the appropriation power. This is a wonderful check, Mr. President, against the abuse or misuse of Commission authority. Scrupulous care should be taken to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|However, section 105(e) provides that “all Federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the Civil Rights Commission could call on the other governmental agencies to perform many of its tasks. Congressional control over the Commission would be much less than if the Commission had to depend on its own appropriations and would not be permitted to use the resources of other agencies. Once the commission is created, only another law can check its activity during the period of its existence.}} {{smaller block|Another thing that concerns me about this Commission is the fact that once a Government agency or commission is established, nothing else on earth so nearly approaches eternal existence as that Government agency or commission. Mr. President, I feel that the 2-year limitation placed upon the Commission in this bill would simply be a starting point, and the people of this country should realize that at this time.}} {{smaller block|With further reference to section 104(a), I want to point out the use of the mandatory word shall. This word requires the Commission to investigate all sworn allegations submitted to the Commission of any citizen allegedly being deprived of his right to vote.}} {{smaller block|But the provision neglects to require that such allegations be submitted by parties in interest—not simply by some meddler who seeks to create trouble between other persons. This is another provision of this bill similar to section 131(c) which would permit the Attorney General to make the United States a party to a case without the consent of the party actually involved.}} {{smaller block|Another objection to 104(a) is that under this provision a person could make an allegation to the Commission against a person who was not even a citizen of the same State. Even so, under the mandatory language of section 104(a), the Commission would be required to make an investigation of the charges.}} {{smaller block|Since the Commission is limited by section 102(k) to subpenaing witnesses to hearings only within the State of residence of the witness, there would be no opportunity in such a situation for the accused to confront his accuser. Charges against a person should not be accepted by the Commission unless the accuser is a citizen of the same State as the person he is charging with a violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|Also, Mr. President, once the Commission has received the sworn allegation, there is no requirement that other testimony received relating to the allegation be taken under oath. Failure to make all persons giving testimony subject to perjury prosecutions in the event they testify to falsehoods would surely destroy the value of any such testimony received.}} {{smaller block|The Commission could and might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony; but I should not like to see the Senate leave that point to the discretion of the Commission because, in my judgment, the Congress should require that practice to be followed.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, as I stated earlier, it is my view that an inquiry into the field of civil rights, or so-called civil rights, is entirely unnecessary at this time. The laws of the States and the Federal laws are being enforced effectively.}} {{smaller block|Should there come a time when information might be needed on this subject, the Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with deliberation and care. The appropriate committees of the Congress itself should hold hearings limited to the jurisdiction of the Congress, and the Congress should make its own determination as to the need for legislation.}} {{smaller block|There is no present indication that any such study will be needed.}} {{smaller block|Part II. of the bill still provides for the appointment of one additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. As I have stated in previous addresses, there is absolutely no need for an additional Attorney General to be appointed at a cost to the taxpayers of $20,000 per year.}} {{smaller block|Of course, that would merely be a small part of the total cost because a large staff of lawyers would also be employed.}} {{smaller block|The other provisions of the bill do not necessitate the establishment of a civil-rights division in the Justice Department, because there is no indication there would be any substantial increase in such cases with which the Department should be concerned.}} {{smaller block|As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have admitted time and again here in the Senate that there has been a steady decrease in the number of civil-rights cases throughout the country.}} {{smaller block|Since there has been a decrease in civil-rights cases, and since there is no indication that any increase should be expected, I can see absolutely no reason for the expansion of the present civil-rights section of the Justice Department into a Civil Rights Division with an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the fact that sufficient justification has not been presented for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, I hope the Senate will not approve such additional expenditures as would be required for this purpose. In my opinion, the Attorney General has failed entirely to show a need for an additional assistant.}} {{smaller block|Part III. of the bill as amended has been thoroughly discussed and I shall not dwell on that at this time.}} {{smaller block|Part IV., which is the section dealing with what the advocates of the bill have said was the entire purpose of the bill, still has provisions which are objectionable to me. Section 131(c) still contains language which, to me, borders on an effort at thought control instead of providing an unneeded additional guaranty of the right to vote. Also, it gives the Attorney General undue authority. The section reads as follows:}} {{smaller block|“(c) Whenever any person has engaged, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage, in any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege secured by subsection (a) or (b), the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, a civil action or other proper proceeding for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order. In any proceeding hereunder the United States shall be liable for costs the same as a private person.”}} {{smaller block|As long ago as February 26, when I appeared before the special Judiciary Subcommittee of the House of Representatives to testify against pending civil-rights bills, I expressed my opposition to the language contained in the section I. have just quoted. I do not believe it possible for the Attorney General, for any of his representatives, or for anybody else to determine what is in another person’s mind and whether he is about to engage in some violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|If the Attorney General should attempt to ascertain what is going on in the minds of other persons, he will need soothsayers and prophets instead of an additional Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|I object to this language because I do not believe it possible for any witness to testify truthfully that he knows another person was about to violate the law, unless some overt action had been taken by the accused person.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, an attempt to apply this provision against American citizens would be completely out of keeping with the guaranties of personal freedom contained in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|I object also to the authority granted the Attorney General in section (c) to “institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States,” a civil action or other court proceeding on behalf of a person without the consent of that person. Individuals have adequate legal remedies which they themselves may institute on their own behalf. It is not necessary to give the Attorney General this extreme power of absolute discretion to be exercised as he desires on behalf of some individual who may not wish to take court action or to have anybody else take such action on his behalf.}} {{smaller block|If one of the duties of the proposed additional Assistant Attorney General would be to seek out persons and insist upon entering the courts on their behalf, this provision, combined with part II., provides another objection to the appointment of an Assistant Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|The American system has never condoned the idea that a third party should stir up trouble between two other persons. Instead, the American system abhors troublemakers, especially when troublemaking takes the form of barratry. This form of troublemaking has been looked down upon much in the same way other lawyers look down upon their colleagues who chase ambulances.}} {{smaller block|The United States Government should not be placed in this position of disrepute and certainly it should not be called upon to bear the expenses of such court proceedings.}} {{smaller block|Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which provides that—}} {{smaller block|“(b) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.”}} {{smaller block|No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States, should not be exhausted prior to Federal district courts taking jurisdiction in election-law violations.}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 have spoken out strongly on behalf of the Federal courts during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts.}} {{smaller block|There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them.}} {{smaller block|The laws of all the 48 States contain provisions protecting the right to vote. No additional protection is needed beyond existing State and Federal laws.}} {{smaller block|In my own State of South Carolina, the constitution of 1895 required the general assembly to provide by law for the punishment of crimes against the election laws. That has been done. The State constitution further required a provision to permit a person to appeal to the State supreme court if he should be denied registration. The election law spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court, and requires that the court hold a special session if one is not scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|South Carolina’s constitution also provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of this constitutional provision, the South Carolina General Assembly has enacted laws for the punishment of anyone who threatens, mistreats, or abuses any voter in an effort to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. These laws apply to all elections. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the existing laws of the States and the existing Federal laws, I now contend, as I have contended since the so-called civil-rights bills were introduced, that any qualified voter in the United States is fully protected in his right of suffrage.}} {{smaller block|This bill, H. R. 6127, is unnecessary. It is an encroachment upon the rights of the States, and it infringes upon the rights of individuals when the Attorney General is empowered to take action on the behalf of any person without his consent.}} {{smaller block|I believe this bill should be rejected, because of the various unnecessary and unconstitutional provisions which I have discussed.}} {{smaller block|Part V. of the bill, which was added to insure and provide for trial by jury in proceedings to punish criminal contempts, is an amendment which I approved and voted for, but I do not consider it as strong as desirable. In my opinion, the bill which the senior Senators from Mississippi and Virginia and I introduced in the Senate last March should be approved, to provide best for the right of trial by jury for every American citizen.}} {{smaller block|However, the addition of part V. to the bill makes it much less objectionable than the bill would have been without the assurance of trial by jury in criminal-contempt proceedings contained in part V.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to reiterate my previous assertions that this bill is unnecessary, and in some respects unconstitutional.}} {{smaller block|H. R. 6127 in its original form carried the label of being a right-to-vote bill; but when we unwrapped the package here in the Senate and examined it carefully, as we have, we found the label was entirely misleading.}} {{smaller block|The so-called civil-rights bill should have been entitled “A bill to empower the Attorney General to deprive certain citizens of their right to trial by jury.” Also, it should have been labeled as an implement intended to be used to force integration of the races in the public schools.}} {{smaller block|Happily, we examined the contents of the package, stripped off the old label, and advertised the deception so that every citizen could recognize the dangers wrapped in the package.}} {{smaller block|The amendments which have been enacted have reduced the power which was intended to be placed in the hands of the Attorney General. They have removed the authority for the use of military forces in cases of alleged civil-rights violations. They have made the proposed Commission answerable to Congress as well as to the President, and have provided for the members to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. They have better defined and narrowed the powers of Federal judges in contempt proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R. 6127. However, nothing could entirely remove the objectionable features of this packaged bill of goods, submitted to the American people under a deceptive label.}} {{smaller block|I shall vote against passage of H. R. 6127, because I believe that in so doing I shall be casting a vote for the preservation of our liberties, and for the preservation of constitutional government in this country.}} Mr. President, that was the statement which I made on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced vigorous objection to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127 as amended by the Senate. Of course, the Senate bill was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of the bill. Mr. President, I now wish to discuss part IV. of H. R. 6127 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution. {{smaller block|PART IV.—TO PROVIDE MEANS OF FURTHER SECURING AND PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE}} Part IV. of the proposed civil-rights bill confers on the Attorney General the right to bring civil action and seek an injunction in a Federal district in the name of the United States if he believes any person is violating or about to violate either of two laws presently existing for the protection of voters. Let us examine the two laws the Attorney General seeks to enforce by civil suit or injunction. The first of these laws, presently appearing as section 2004 of the Revised Statutes of 1874—title 42, United States Code, section 1971—is actually section 1 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870—Sixteenth United States Statutes at Large, page 140. This bill, S. 810 and H. R. 1293, passed the respective Houses of Congress without debate on its merits under the rule on motion. This bill as it passed Congress contained in its second section a definite provision that civil damages to the aggrieved might be recovered through civil suit in the Federal courts. Furthermore, it provided for the obtaining of political office by civil suit through ''quo'' warrant proceedings in Federal courts. On May 20, 1870, an attempt was made in the Senate to allow third parties to sue in behalf of the aggrieved party. This is the same proposal contained in the present bill whereby the Attorney General would be allowed to bring civil action and seek injunctions. Even this radical 41st Congress would not accept any such proposition providing double penalties. The proposition in the present bill would provide double penalties because present law contained in both title 18, Section 242—Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law—and title 42, Section 1971—Race, Color, or Previous Condition Not To Affect Right to Vote—afford appropriate criminal and civil remedy. To show how the Senate in 1870 rejected such an idea of double penalties, let us examine the colloquy in the Senate on the proposal to allow someone other than the aggrieved to bring civil suit—Congressional Globe, volume 93, 41st Congress, 2d session, 1870, pages 3563–3564: {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I understand I am in order in offering to amend the amendment.}} {{smaller block|The {{sc|Presiding Officer}}. The amendment to the amendment is in order.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I will repeat it, then, for the information of the Senate. I move to amend the Senate bill in section 2, line 15, by striking out the words “the person aggrieved thereby” and inserting “any person who shall sue for the same.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. I hope that this amendment will not be agreed to. There are now two views taken of this branch of the bill as it stands. One is that there ought not to be any provision at all for the party aggrieved; that it ought all to be out; and another view is that taken by my friend from Alabama, that it does not go far enough; that we ought not to confine this redress to the person whose vote is refused. The committee considered both those views, and thought, in analogy to State legislation and to the simple proprieties of justice, that this middle ground was the true one.}} {{smaller block|If a voter is deprived of his right to vote by the misconduct of an official, it is a personal grievance to him, an actionable injury, for which all civilized laws give him redress in some form. It is true that in most States and countries no specific amount of damages is allowed, for the reason that it is thought safer, inasmuch as that might be a matter of speculation, to leave it under the circumstances of each case to be great or small, as a jury shall think it wise to make it. But in applying the 15th amendment, which is intended to secure the rights of a large class of the population of the United States, and to secure their rights in courts which may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, by juries who may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, in communities where the local officers are found to be those who deny the rights that the 15th amendment secures, we thought it wise not to leave it to an unfriendly jury to give only 1 penny damages, if a man under the 15th amendment was deprived of a right he had, but to fix the sum the party should be entitled to recover as his damages; and on the other hand, in a community where juries might be very favorable to the party aggrieved, we thought it right to impose upon juries a limit above which they ought not to go; so that they should not either give no damages at all nor excessive damages.}} {{smaller block|This branch of the section, therefore, is framed upon that theory. It is to give to the person aggrieved, as damages for the deprivation of his rights as a citizen, a private right of his own, a right to sue, which all laws give; it would not be necessary to put that into the statute—he would have the right of action; but to fix the amount for each specific wrong to him {{SIC|whch|which}} he should be entitled to recover. Then we provide in another part of the bill, and perhaps in the same section, just as we ought to do if we are to have any law at all, that the officer guilty of this wrong to the citizen is also guilty of an offense against the public, a criminal misdemeanor, for which he may be indicted and fined, of course within certain limits, in the discretion of the court. I submit to my friend from Alabama whether, on the whole, this middle ground, which is defensible both by philosophy and by analogy, is not the true one.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I desire to make this bill as effective for the purpose intended as possible. The persons who will be aggrieved, particularly in our section of the country, will in the main be ignorant and timid persons, who will be afraid to sue. The fact that they may be afraid to go to the polls and vote is evidence that they will not perhaps have the courage and fearlessness to sue; but there may be some third party who would be willing to enforce the penalty. I think in the great majority of cases the person aggrieved would not avail himself of this provision.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Then, I suggest to my friend that he would not be entitled to any action at all under this section, because this is not a section to give every man $500 who is afraid to offer to do what he has a right to do; but it is to give him as damages the sum of $500 for a positive and specific denial to him of the exercise of a right that he attempts to exercise; otherwise, he would have no cause of action. You cannot give a right of action to anybody because he is intimidated. The intimidation part of the law must be purely criminal, and is found in another part of the bill.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. But my amendment would give a remedy by enabling any other person than the party aggrieved to enforce the penalty. The party aggrieved I think in most cases would fail to enforce it; but some other party might.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Some other party may in his name.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I desire to say a word in regard to the particular amendment now pending. This bill is for the purpose of enforcing the 15th amendment, which applies to colored voters, most of whom reside in the section of the country from which the Senator from Alabama and myself come. The great and most effectual means used to interfere with their exercise of the right secured to them by the 15th amendment is by intimidation, by violence. I think that the penalty which is named in this second section, to be enforced by the party aggrieved, would never be put into operation at all. The purpose of the bill is to protect those citizens against intimidation from voting.}} {{smaller block|I confess that there is something in the suggestion of the Senator from Vermont, that there is no intimidation in this particular section aimed at. But, sir, it is perfectly sure that the very same means of intimidation which prevents a colored citizen from voting will be resorted to to prevent him from bringing this penal action, and unless the section is amended as suggested by the Senator from Alabama, I do not believe that an action will ever be brought in those States, because it is much more difficult for one of those citizens to bring and maintain a criminal action than it is for him to perform the single act of voting.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Will my friend permit me to make a suggestion right there?}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. Certainly.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. If you take out this penalty, as it is called, really liquidated damages, from the person who is aggrieved, whose right is denied, and who has suffered injury, and give it to anybody who will sue for it, it becomes a pure penalty. Then the question is, whether you can have a bill which contains double penalties; whether you are to punish, in the strict sense of punishment, a man twice for the same offense; because my friend will see that the section, in addition to giving these damages to the party aggrieved as damages, makes it a criminal misdemeanor, punishable on indictment and conviction by a fine of not less than $500 and imprisonment not less than a month nor more than a year. I suggest to my friend, who is a cultivated and educated lawyer, whether he would not in court find himself in great difficulty with a bill of double penalties, which were purely such.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I have never examined that question under the laws of the United States. I only know that is frequently done in my own State. We have statutes with double penalties, as referred to by the Senator, and we have never had any difficulty in that State with regard to them.}} {{smaller block|But I understood the committee to mean by this section that there was danger in the States where it is principally to apply of not being able to obtain a grand jury who will find a bill of indictment, and that in the event no bill of indictment could be found before a grand jury the party aggrieved, or, if amended as the Senator from Alabama suggests, any person in the community may still punish the offender by bringing a penal action. It seems I had mistaken the purpose of the committee entirely from what is said by the Senator from Vermont. I think, nevertheless, the amendment had better be made, unless there really be that legal objection which the Senator suggests as to double penalties, so that it could not, under the laws of the United States and the practice of the United States courts, be enforced. If that were so, it would be conclusive that the amendment ought not to be adopted. I did not understand the Senator as expressing the positive opinion that such could not be done.}} Now, Mr. President, I shall discuss injunctions issuing from Federal district judges on the question of a person’s qualification for voting. The civil-rights bill in part IV. confers on the district courts of the United States jurisdiction to issue injunctions in civil-rights actions and it is to be assumed that these injunctions will concern, among other supposed rights, the right to vote. Actually appropriate remedy already exists where a person’s civil rights are violated. Section 242 of title 18, United States Code, provides a penalty and damages may be recovered in a civil action. The West Virginia Jehovah’s Witnesses case is a typical example of adequate remedy existing in such cases. In this case, the United States attorney was unable to get an indictment by the grand jury. He therefore proceeded to prosecute by information, as provided by rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and subsequently got a conviction. The information charged that two public officers, acting under color of law, had willfully deprived their victims of the Federal rights of free speech, freedom of religion, the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, and the right to equal protection of the laws. The conviction was upheld by the United States court of appeals—''Catlette'' v. ''U. S.'' ((1943) 132 F. 2d 902). Civil suits were brought by the Witnesses against their prosecutors—those who had deprived them of their rights—and a settlement was made totaling $1,170 in damages which was paid. How can the Congress vest jurisdiction in Federal courts to determine the qualifications of voters and allow Federal judges to issue injunctions in effect requiring that certain persons—the judge thinks are qualified—shall be registered and allowed to vote? The qualifications of voters are fixed and enumerated in the constitution of each sovereign State. For purposes of determining who is entitled to vote in each State for United States Representatives and Senators, the Federal Constitution simply adopts such qualifications as the State has fixed for voting for members of that State’s legislature. The language of article I., section 2, clause 3 of the United States Constitution reads: {{smaller block|The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.}} Similarly, the 17th amendment adopts for the purpose of electing United States Senators such qualifications as the States have fixed: {{smaller block|The Senate of the United States shall be composed of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for 6 years; and each Senator shall have 1 vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.}} In the fixing of qualifications of voters the States are limited only by the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment in that the right to vote may not be denied because of race or color or sex, respectively. That the respective States determine who are entitled to vote has never been seriously controverted. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the right to vote comes from the State. In declaring sections 3 and 4 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870, unconstitutional, the Supreme Court in 1875 said—''U. S.'' v. ''Reese'' ((1875) 92 U. S. 214, 217, 218); also ''Butts'' v. ''Merchants and Miners Transportation Co.'' ((1913) 230 U. S. 126): {{smaller block|The 15th amendment does not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference, in this particular, to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race, etc., as it was on account of age, one race having certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to this amendment, there was no constitutional guaranty against this discrimination; now there is. It follows that the amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right which is within the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This, under the express provisions of the second section of the amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation.}} This leads us to inquire whether the act now under consideration is appropriate legislation for that purpose. The power of Congress to legislate at all upon the subject of voting at State elections rests upon this amendment. The effect of article I., section 4, of the Constitution, in respect to elections for Senators and Representatives, is not now under consideration. It has not been contended, nor can it be, that the amendment confers authority to impose penalties for every wrongful refusal to receive the vote of a qualified elector at State elections. It is only when the wrongful refusal at such an election is because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, that Congress can interfere, and provide for its punishment: If, therefore, the third and fourth sections of the act are beyond that limit, they are unauthorized.}} Thus, if the 15th amendment has not conferred the right to vote upon anyone, how can Congress give a Federal judge authority to confer that right by injunction? The Attorney General knows that it is a settled principle of law that an injunction will not issue to prevent a crime. At the present time the laws governing enforcement of civil rights are criminal statutes and as such he seeks to have them reenacted as civil statutes so he can secure injunctions. An injunction is really a serious proposition. Actually an injunction is a proceeding in equity and not of law and under this principle since all of the States have adequate procedure for determining the qualifications of voters in courts of law, injunctions cannot issue in such cases. An injunction is actually the giving of validity to a judge’s own individual opinion. The injunction had its origin during the reign of Henry VIII., when Cardinal Wolsey augmented the authority of the Court of Chancery in exercising his equitable authority over everything that could be a matter of judicial inquiry. Both Wolsey and his successor, Sir Thomas More, were severely criticized by the English judiciary for issuing injunctions in equity and thereby substituting their individual opinions for the verdict of a jury in a common law court—the Law magazine, London, volume XXVII., 1870, pages 1–25. Such great importance is attached to the issuance of an injunction that Lord Correnham in his judgment in ''Brown'' v. ''Newall'' ((1870), 2 M. and C. 558, 570), said: {{smaller block|Now, that that ''ex parte'' injunction was an order which ought not to have been made, is not in dispute. It has been subsequently dissolved, and nothing is attempted (570) to be said in support of it at the bar; and it is impossible that it could have been sustained. The order was a departure from the known and established rule and practice of this court. Nothing is so difficult as to bring within any general rule every case in which a special injunction ought to be granted; but, when an action has regularly proceeded, and is on the very eve of trial, an ''ex parte'' injunction to stop it is an order such as I have not before seen. The vice chancellor appears to have stated that the order was made under some misapprehension of the facts; and indeed it is quite obvious that it must have been so, for the vice chancellor could not have made the order if the facts had been thoroughly understood. It is very probable that some facts were then supposed to exist which did not actually exist.}} {{smaller block|I am not entitled, however, to assume that the order was made upon any other grounds than those stated in the affidavit which was used upon the application for the injunction; and I am, therefore, to see whether, on that affidavit, the parties have suppressed or misrepresented facts in such a way as was calculated to induce the court to grant the injunction.}} {{smaller block|I am most unwilling to lay down any rule which should limit the power and discretion of the court as to the particular cases in which a special injunction should or should not be granted; but I have always felt—and since I have been upon the bench I have seen no reason to alter my opinion—that extreme danger attends the exercise of this part of the jurisdiction of the court, and that it is a jurisdiction which is to be exercised with extreme caution. It is absolutely necessary that the power should exist, because there are cases in which it is indispensable; but I believe that practically it does as much injustice as it promotes (571) justice; and it is, therefore, to be exercised with extreme caution. The court can have no ground upon which it can proceed, in granting an ''ex parte'' injunction, but a faithful statement of the case; and where the court has found a party misstating the case, either by misrepresentation or suppression, the court has always exercised its jurisdiction, for the purpose of repressing that practice; and I am desirous to abstain from putting, by anticipation, a limit to that power. The extent to which the court is to go in so doing is only to be determined by the case itself; but then it must appear, upon the affidavits, that there was such misrepresentation. Now the affidavit upon which the ''ex parte'' injunction was obtained certainly does not state all the facts; but the question is, whether there was any such suppression or misstatement as to lead the court to grant the injunction. I do not find on that affidavit that description of misrepresentation or suppression which, in my opinion, presented a case likely to procure a judgment on the application, but different from the case which really existed.}} Thus we can easily see, even if we had the power, that it would be a dangerous experiment to allow Federal district judges to issue injunctions on simple ''ex parte'' affidavits as is proposed in the present bill. And it might be possible under this proposal to assign New York or Vermont Federal judges to a crowded injunction calendar in Virginia to determine who is qualified to vote in that State. Section 134 of title 26, United States Code, simply requires that a district judge reside in the district or one of the districts for which he is appointed and does not preclude his assignment to another district. In fact, Chief Justice Warren under section 292 of the Judicial Code—title 28, United States Code—may assign California judges to South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 292. District judges:}} {{smaller block|(a) The chief judge of a circuit may designate and assign one or more district judges within the circuit to sit upon the court of appeals or a division thereof whenever the business of that court so requires. Such designations or assignments shall be in conformity with the rules or orders of the court of appeals of the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(b) The chief judge of a district may, in the public interest, designate and assign temporarily any district judge of the circuit to hold a district court in any district within the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(c) The Chief Justice of the United States may designate and assign temporarily a district judge of one circuit for service in another circuit, either in a district court or court of appeals, upon presentation of a certificate of necessity by the chief judge or circuit justice of the circuit wherein the need arises. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 901.)}} The Federal Enforcement Act of 1870 attempted to do just what this bill seeks to do, that is, take away from the States the control of their elections and place that control in the hands of federally appointed officials. If anyone has any doubts about the failure of the Enforcement Act or even its constitutionality he should read the various decisions of the United States Supreme Court declaring almost every section of the act unconstitutional. When Congress finally got around to repealing that act in 1893 here are some of the frauds cited in Congress as reasons for repeal. They included 19,000 fraudulent naturalization certificates being issued by a single judge in New York State. They included payment in fees from the United States Treasury to a single Federal supervisor of elections and commissioner of the Federal court the sum of $145,000. Interestingly enough, repeal was initiated by a New York Congressman. See {{sc|Congressional Record}}, Volume 25, pages 1959, 1808. Mr. President, on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, I made a motion in the Senate to have H. R. 6127 in its so-called compromise form referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that I believed it to be a dangerous procedure to allow bills to come over from the House of Representatives and be placed on the calendar of the Senate without being referred to the appropriate committee. However, my motion was voted down 66 to 18, so the bill is now before the Senate for consideration. Since very few Members of the Senate were present at that time to hear my objections to the present version of H. R. 6127, I shall present my arguments again. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution because that would be the result insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common-law cases. These guaranties were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historic document their complaints against denial of the right of trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. After declaring that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the signers of the Declaration pointed out that the King had a history of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.” Then they proceeded to the listing of a bill of particulars against the King. He was charged with “depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.” That is what the Declaration of Independence contained. The King was charged, among other things, with depriving the American people of the benefit of trial by jury. That is the very thing I am fighting for—the right of trial by jury, which is contained in the Constitution, and embodied in it in quite a number of places. The compromise bill which comes from the House attempts to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The bill does not provide for a trial by jury unless the penalty is more than 45 days’ imprisonment or more than a $300 fine. That is a compromise of the Constitution. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. When the original Constitution was written there was placed in it article III., section 2, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. Then the Bill of Rights was adopted, and that right was provided in three different places. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and onetime Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. “The Bill of Rights,” he declared, “denies the power of any government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.” Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic law if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes, in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. When our forefathers met in 1787 in Philadelphia they wrote in article III., section 2, of the Constitution that in all crimes except treason a man shall be entitled to a jury trial. In several places in the Bill of Rights they wrote it again, with special emphasis in the sixth amendment that a man is entitled to a jury trial. Yet the compromisers brought forth a compromise which {{SIC|attemps|attempts}} to compromise the Constitution of the United States. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. The compromise would have been unconstitutional if it had provided that if a judge wanted to punish for criminal contempt he could sentence the defendant to serve 1 day or fine him $1. He has no right to fine him $1 or give him 1 day’s punishment in prison without a jury trial, because the Constitution says that in a criminal case a man charged with crime is entitled to a jury trial. I cited last night a decision which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and this so-called compromise which has come to the Senate is an effort of the Senate and the House of Representatives to get together, but in the effort to get together and pass a political bill—and that is all it is—they have been willing to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says, “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. If the Constitution had had an exception in it and read, “This shall not apply to criminal contempt or crimes of criminal contempt,” then there would be some basis for the Congress to legislate. But it did not make such an exception. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “The trial of ''all'' crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. What right has a Federal judge to use his discretion and tell a man he can be tried by a jury? The Constitution says if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to be tried by a jury if he wants to be tried by a jury. In the Constitution there is no exception of criminal contempt or any exception that gives a judge the power to try a man so charged rather than a jury. We are dealing with the basic rights of the people of this Nation and we should be careful to protect those precious rights which have been handed down to us by our forefathers. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. We cannot make trial by jury a matter of degree. If the Constitution gives a man the right of trial by jury, he has that right and we cannot take it away from him. The Congress cannot take it away. Furthermore, this compromise pretends to let the judge try the case if he wants to do so, in his discretion. Then if he finds the defendant ought to be punished by a fine in excess of $300 or by imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the man is entitled to a trial by jury. Do you not know, Mr. President, that if a judge has already tried a man, and then the defendant asks for a jury trial, the judge’s decision is bound to affect the jury in the case strongly, even if it were constitutional for that to be done, which it is not? Under this proposal if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days in prison he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of punishment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. I realize that Congress may want to get away from Washington. We have had a long, hard session. I also realize that both national parties are playing to the minorities by means of the right-to-vote bill, when each State in the Nation has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and section 594 of the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure protects the right to vote. Yet, as a political gesture, both parties are making this play to try to claim credit. Watch my prediction that in the elections of 1958 both parties will try to claim that they got the civil-rights bill through the Congress. Why are we not more interested in preserving the Constitution? Are we going to violate the Constitution by passing a political civil-rights bill in order to give thunder and political fodder to politicians to enable them to garner votes? Which is more important, the Constitution of this country or the political parties vying for the votes of minorities? I wish to see the right to vote exercised by every man who is qualified to vote and who wants to vote. If he is entitled to vote, I want to see him vote. But the true purpose of this bill is not to insure the right to vote, because we have statutes in every State, and we have statutes on the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure now already that punish people interfering with anybody trying to vote. If the statutes we now have on the books are not being enforced, what good will it do to put another statute on the books? If the Justice Department is claiming that there are any individuals who have been denied their right to vote, why does it not prosecute them under the present law, which is completely adequate? And if no people have been denied the right to vote, then why is it claimed that this bill is necessary? The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents and in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. Perhaps the House and the Senate wanted to get together and they thought this was the only way they could do it, but I want to tell the American people when they did get together and brought forth this compromise they violated the Constitution of the United States. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill. Like father, like son; a chip off the old block. Both are bad. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of the fine—or even 1 cent—and if a day, or even an hour, were added to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial, and a jury would decide the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. The proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was passed by the Senate. The inclusion by the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, made the bill a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, the present unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope a majority of the Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the ''bloc'' voting of the pivotal states. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about. Those are the words of Stewart Alsop; and he is not a southerner, so far as I know. To explain his point, he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States, Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election. The following four paragraphs are quoted directly from Mr. Alsop’s column: {{smaller block|In 1954, Averell Harriman was elected Governor of New York by less than 15,000 votes over Senator {{sc|Irving Ives}}. According to Harris’ analysis, Harriman polled a whopping 79 percent of the Negro vote. Negro voters thus supplied Harriman with his margin of victory several times over. Two years later, the Democrats had dropped some 90,000 Negro votes to the Republicans—or about 6 times the number of votes {{sc|Ives}} needed to defeat Harriman.}} {{smaller block|Or take another close race—the victory of Senator {{sc|Joseph Clark}}, of Pennsylvania, over the Republican incumbent, Senator James Duff, in 1956. Again, {{sc|Clark}} just squeaked in, with a plurality of less than 18,000 votes. {{sc|Clark}}, despite the Supreme Court, carried the Negro vote by a huge 76 percent margin, which was worth about 150,000 votes to him. Suppose the Negro vote had dropped off as sharply in Pennsylvania as it did in Illinois, where it nosedived from 75 percent in 1952 to 58 percent in 1956. Then Duff would be in the Senate by a comfortable majority, and {{sc|Clark}} would be practicing law.}} {{smaller block|Other examples could be cited, like that of Senator {{sc|Paul Douglas}}, of Illinois, who owes about 60 percent of his 1954 plurality to the Negro vote. But the lesson is clear enough. If the Republicans can attract something approaching half the Negro vote in the Northern States, the Republican Party will then be the normal majority party in those States.}} {{smaller block|Read the role of big States in which the Negroes can be expected to poll 5 percent or more of the total vote—not only New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but such States as Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and California. It then becomes clear what is at stake in the civil-rights struggle—nothing less than the future balance of political power in the Nation.}} But, Mr. President, are we going to compromise the Constitution, whether we lose an election or not? Which is more important—to win an election or to preserve the Constitution? It is about time that both parties began to consider the welfare of the country and to determine whether the Constitution is of more importance, or whether winning an election is of more importance. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today; but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law, eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of the bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Under the provisions of the compromise, jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge, so long as the sentence he metes does not exceed the maximum limit set for denying trial by jury. The proponents of the bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim, the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When the bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted the great legal mind of 18th century England, Blackstone. Because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him again at this time. This is what Blackstone had to say: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} That is what Blackstone, the leading legal light the world has known, had to say. I wish to repeat one of his sentences: {{smaller block|And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} Mr. President, a trial by jury is one of the bedrocks of this democracy. It is one of the bedrocks of this Nation. It is one of the bedrocks of this Government. When we talk to people in the street and to laymen generally about taking away their right of trial by jury, they cannot understand it, because they know that the Constitution provides that a man shall have a trial by jury when he is charged with the commission of a crime. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen, chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth, and the surest guardians of public justice. For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan of the United States Supreme Court delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, that is a significant statement to me, coming from a member of the present Supreme Court. I will not predict what the Court might do when the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury as embodied in this so-called compromise is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the people of this Nation want Federal judges to have the power to punish persons for criminal contempt by sentences of either days, weeks, or months in jail, or by fines of dollars, they can amend the Constitution and provide for it. If the people of this country want Federal judges to have the discretion of determining whether a person shall have a jury trial or not, then they can amend the Constitution and so provide. There is no provision and no exception for either instance in the present Constitution. That is certainly a clue to what might be expected from the Court when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. I think what the Supreme Court did in the ''Reid'' against ''Covert'' case might be a clue to what it might do, or what might be expected of the Court, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all of the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State. A summary of these laws was submitted to me, and I request that this summary be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. The people of my State vote. I am in favor of qualified people voting. All the people of my State vote if they are qualified. Whence comes this hue and cry? Those raising it have not presented the matter to the Judiciary Committee, so the chairman of that committee may hold hearings. They have held hearings for weeks and months on the subject, and the proponents of the bill have failed to present evidence to show that people do not have the right to vote. It is inescapable, as I have said, that this is a political bill and not a bill to provide the right to vote. The people already have that privilege. If any such incident as a refusal to permit a citizen to vote had occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. The people of the States are interested in justice just as are the officials of the Federal Government, but I shall return to that subject in a few minutes and go into the matter of the Federal statutes a little more fully. We have Federal statutes to protect the right to vote, if the voters are not satisfied with the State statutes, and certainly the Federal statutes protect them. I say that the Negro citizens in South Carolina are safeguarded in their rights; and the payment of a poll tax is not required. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. As I have said, South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. Registration is necessary only once every 10 years. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that the poll tax be repealed as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature acted promptly and submitted the matter to the people, and the people voted in favor of repeal of the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature approved it, and we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina, if proof is desired, can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia, S. C., Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that “estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina constitution which protect a citizen’s right to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 9, suffrage: The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 10, elections free and open: All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 5, appeal; crimes against election laws: Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 8, registration provided; elections; board of registration; books of registration: The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the 1st of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 15, right of suffrage free: No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the record to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Code, title 23}}}}}} {{smaller block|23–73. Appeal from denial of registration.}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court.}} {{smaller block|23–74. Proceedings to court of common pleas.}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as Calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{smaller block|23–75. Further appeal to supreme court.}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make. If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} In other words, in our State, if anybody has an appeal and it goes before the trial judge and he denies it, the supreme court will go into session in order to hear such a case so as to be sure that nobody is deprived of the right to vote. {{smaller block|23–100. Right to vote.}} {{smaller block|No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct.

Also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, proves that there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right-to-vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an unusual grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department is not needed because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed, and he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved, and there is no indication that conditions will change unless the Attorney General and the Civil Rights Commission create trouble, there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of civil-rights matters in the Department of Justice. Mr. President, permit me to digress in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the Bill of Rights. I have before me a book entitled “Our Bill of Rights: What It Means To Me—A National Symposium,” edited by James Waterman, Wisconsin: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|Things of the spirit never die.

After all, the only disaster that will overtake us is the disaster that comes from indecision and inaction.}} {{smaller block|I like to remind myself of the origin of the Bill of Rights. It came into being at a time of great distress and clearly represented the desires of the people who had paid a high price for their independence, and were determined to keep it. Since that time it has weathered an internal conflict, foreign wars, periods of economic depression. Even during these emergencies there has been no foreshortening of the scope of the Bill of Rights, nor has its fundamental character been altered. Invariably after these crises have passed each American has turned his face homeward and found, to his intense joy, his personal liberty inviolate. This augurs well for the future. Perhaps the destructive forces loose in the world will assume more awesome proportions than any yet seen; perhaps the dangers and hardships of the civilian population will be greater than ever before; but I cannot believe that these new developments will serve to swerve us from our course any more than the vicissitudes of the past.}} {{smaller block|Undoubtedly it will mean a vigilant citizenry constantly on guard. But we have that. Undoubtedly it will mean leadership of the highest quality, but we have that, too. In fact, I can think of no more impressive reiteration of belief in the Bill of Rights than that made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress last January:}} {{smaller block|“In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.}} {{smaller block|“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The third is freedom from want. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The fourth is freedom from fear. * * *}} {{smaller block|“That is no vision of a distant millennium.

Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them.

Roosevelt, in speaking of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees a jury trial to the people of the United States, but which the so-called compromise civil-rights bill would deprive the people of. I read further: {{smaller block|We accept our liberty, as we do our health, pretty much as a matter of course, hardly giving it a thought until we begin to lose it. Then we become conscious of how much it means.}} {{smaller block|Experience throughout the long period of human history teaches that liberty must be won in every generation and can be held only by eternal vigilance. As foes of freedom the aggressors reappear with different weapons, but always with the same aim—to destroy the souls of freemen.}} {{smaller block|That religion and democracy are closely linked together is a truism proved amply in the history of our country. The American colonies were settled by men and women seeking a free life, as well as a home for freedom. Religion was written prominently into their agreements, covenants, pacts, and constitutions, but the early colonists made no provision for the the free exercise of religion. Those who had fled before the demands of conformity later determined by law that others must conform or get out of the colony. It was said of Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, if he had found toleration in his dictionary, he would have cut the word out, just as he drew his sword and cut the red cross out of the English flag because it represented the ancient Catholic faith of England. This attitude, formulated into law and supported by stern preaching, led to the founding of Rhode Island by Roger Williams and his associates. They were the first ones to put into practice the principle of the independence of the individual conscience even beyond the grants of liberty by the State. Maryland was founded by a small company of Catholics seeking freedom of worship in 1634, only 14 years after the Protestant Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth.}} {{smaller block|Under Lord Baltimore’s liberal rule there developed a large degree of freedom in religion, as well as a remarkable advance in democratic procedure. The people of Maryland not only took part in making their laws but were given power to originate laws. No other colony at the time enjoyed quite as much freedom, and in 1649 the assembly passed the Toleration Act which confirmed by law these liberties. Following this action, Maryland became the refuge not only for the oppressed Catholics from England, but Protestants from some of the other American colonies, Puritans from Virginia, Quakers, and others who found congenial homes in this colony.}} It is true that the Toleration Act was not very broad in that it tolerated only those of the Christian religion, but it was a step forward on the road to liberty and marked a greater advance than anything even in England at the time. It remained for the colony at Providence, R. I., to advance the act of toleration by granting full religious freedom to Christians and Jews and even to those without any religious affiliation or belief. The act affirmed “that men of all religions should live unmolested so long as they behaved themselves.” The Bill of Rights provides for freedom of religion. Our Bill of Rights provides for many vital rights which we enjoy. The study of the Constitution should be an essential part not only of the education of the American youth, but of all Americans, and especially those who have become naturalized citizens of this great Nation. While all of us cannot be trained in the technicalities of the law, we should have some idea of our fundamental institutions. We need to know their relationship to our daily life, the reasons for their existence, and the benefits we derive from them, as well as the importance to ourselves of their perpetuation. The Constitution is not self-perpetuating by any means; if it is to survive it will be because it has the support of the people—not passive, but active public support. This means making adequate sacrifice to maintain that which is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. The Constitution has its roots in the great and heroic past of the English-speaking race. Today, under that Constitution which was adopted through the blood and sweat of the pioneers of our country, the safeguard of personal liberty is ever present. Under our great Bill of Rights our governmental power is divided into three parts. The first is the power granted to the Central Government; the second that reserved to the States; and the third, and by far the most important, although at times the fact may not be generally recognized, the power reserved to the people under the many inhibitions upon both State and Federal legislation. In the turmoil which now seems to have engulfed the entire world, the citizens of the United States should well remember particularly that it is the people, those who go to make up the great cross-section of this country, who must guard the ramparts from the ever-increasing dangers of nazism, fascism, and communism. Our Constitution is the final safeguard of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure, but should it fall into disrespect or disrepute the way of orderly, organized government as we have known it for the past 150 years will be at an end. When the Federal Constitution was, on September 28, 1787, submitted by Congress to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, there was very strong opposition to its adoption in all the States. The Democrats, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, feared that the provisions of the instrument would unduly abridge States rights and result in a Government too highly centralized for their views. It was necessary for nine States to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth State, New Hampshire, gave its approval. The States which had not ratified up to that time were Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Virginia and New York gave their assent in 1788. When President Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Hall in New York, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had ratified and, therefore, were not States of the United States. These two reluctant States did, however, come into line. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The Bill of Rights was a pacer in the democratic movement in America and as such is entitled to all the prestige of leadership. Yet it really took a century after its enactment for American women to procure the 19th amendment to the Federal Constitution which compelled reluctant States to grant them the basic right of the free—the right to vote. Non-Christian men and freethinkers of their sex more readily wrested from State legislatures the guaranty of their civil rights. But even the original Bill of Rights would have been a dead letter if dauntless men and women, risking death, had not taught the public to listen without rioting to opinions which it abhorred. That educational process enabled the letter of the law to live in practice, or application, for the American way of life. In celebrating the original Bill of Rights now, we should celebrate with it the courage and skill of the men and the women who made tolerance a fact as well as a principle of law. The open forum, so characteristic of American democracy, owes its inception and its continuation to persons of both sexes who insisted that law and practice were parts of the same thing. That rights carry duties has become a third aspect of democratic evaluations, nurtured on free debates. It is increasingly understood in America that liberty could become license; that rights if viewed as extreme personal privileges could reduce society to anarchy. There is today, in connection with rights, the wide prevalence of the philosophy that rights are granted to individuals in order that they may develop their talents for competent voluntary cooperation in the thought and action essential to the strength of society, to general welfare, and to the very endurance of civil liberties themselves. A history of civilization could be written around the derivation of the privileges that constitute our Bill of Rights. The emphasis would be not on rulers and governments but on the struggle mankind has waged for centuries to obtain recognition of the rights of individual men. These rights are guaranties necessary to any people who wish to live in the free atmosphere of liberty. They are the foundation of any government that exists by the free will of the governed and not by the military force of self-appointed rulers. The history of our own Bill of Rights is fired with the determination of the American people to preserve their liberties as individuals living in a free state. It is significant that these first 10 amendments in our Constitution were drawn from earlier declarations of rights which a number of the Original Thirteen States had formulated for themselves before they joined the Union. They not only served as models for our Federal Constitution but became basic patterns for new democracies all over the world. Today there is abroad in the world a monstrous force that would set the clock back and reestablish regimes that rank the state above the individual. Already in many lands fundamental rights have been destroyed; and the existence of our own is threatened. Such crises have occurred before in the history of man but never with such ruthless vehemence and on such a worldwide scale. Mr. President, there are many objections to H. R. 6127, but the strongest objection is the failure to give a jury trial. I wish now to present to the Senate some information on the jury trial and I shall go into the historical development of the jury system. This information is coming from the History of the Jury System, by Maximus A. Lesser, instructor of political science, New York Evening High School. Some very important points are brought out here about the jury system which are pertinent to this debate. {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Historical Development of the Jury System}}}}}} {{c|{{sm|(By Maximus A. Lesser)}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JURY}}}} {{smaller block|The subject we propose to investigate is the historical genesis and gradual development of an institution which, today is an inseparable element of English jurisprudence and an important factor in the administration of justice, wherever the English or common law, “* * * the State’s collected will, o’er thrones and globes elate, sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.”}} {{smaller block|This purpose is not free from difficulties, for, while the nature and functions of the tribunal, as today existent, are sufficiently well comprehended, still the origin of that institution and the successive steps by which it was evolved are less clearly understood and subject to considerable misconception, as is evinced by the many and conflicting theories advanced in explanation thereof. It is the object of this treatise to reconcile, as far as may be, these various views, to give to each well sustained suggestion its proper weight and effect during the formative period, and to trace its influence in the production of the result. The method of treatment is, in general, chronological; for the English jury is so closely interwoven with the historical and political development of the English nation, that every component which contributed to the formation and completion of the latter had a concomitant effect upon the former; accordingly, the history and features of each foreign factor will be described in connection with that period of our history at which it first made itself felt. For to the jury may be truly applied, what Maine says of law, that it is a matter of growth, the result of the needs of the community in which it originated; and an institution—as another writer well observes—which “does not owe its existence to any positive law; it is not the creature of an act of Parliament establishing the form and defining the functions of the new tribunal. It arose * * * silently and gradually out of the usages of a state of society which has forever passed away.” We will, in the first place, regard its general aspect and characteristics as beheld today, and then proceed to consider whether, and in what respects, it is resembled by institutions of early days. The body with which we have to deal—in the language of an able Scotch jurist—“is the institution by which disputed facts are to be decided for judicial purposes in the administration of civil or criminal justice, and which is in modern times familiar to us under the denomination of trial by jury. * * * The etymological derivation of the term is obviously from ''juro'', to swear, whence we find this institution called in forensic Latin ''jurata'', and the persons composing it ''jurati''. * * * When the object is inquiry only, this tribunal is sometimes called an inquest or inquisition, as in the instance of a grand jury or coroner’s inquest; but when facts are to be determined by it for judicial purposes, it is always styled a jury.”}} {{smaller block|This board of inquiry, then, is composed of “a body of men taken from the community at large, summoned to find the truth of disputed facts. Their office is to decide upon the effect of evidence and thus inform the court truly upon the question at issue, in order that the latter may be enabled to pronounce a right judgment. But they are not the court itself nor do they form part of it; and have nothing to do with the sentence which follows the delivery of their verdict.” While, concerning the third characteristic element of our jury, De Lolme wrote that they who have the power to discriminate between disputed facts and “to whom the law has thus exclusively delegated the prerogative of deciding that a punishment is to be inflicted—those men without whose declaration the executive and the judicial powers are both thus bound down to inaction, do not form among themselves a permanent body, who may have had time to study how their power can serve to promote their private views or interest; they are men selected at once from among the people, who perhaps never were before called to the exercise of such a function, nor foresee that they ever shall be called to it again.”}} {{smaller block|In other words, the jury is the sole judge of the weight of evidence adduced and the arbiter of compensation for contracts broken or injuries sustained, and is composed of men selected by lot and “sworn to declare the facts of a case as they are delivered from the evidence placed before them”—its province being to determine the truth of facts or the amount of damages in civil, and the guilt or innocence of the accused in criminal, cases.}} {{smaller block|This province is confined by the following limitations:}} {{smaller block|(1) It is restricted to the consideration of matters proved by evidence at the trial;}} {{smaller block|(2) It is subject to the instructions of the judge, concerning the rules of law applicable;}} {{smaller block|(3) It is influenced by the directions of the judge, as to weight, value, and materiality of evidence;}} {{smaller block|(4) It is affected by the selection of the jurors from the locality of the action, whence they discharge their duties with a certain amount of independent local knowledge, whilom “counted on, and deemed essential to a just consideration of the case.”}} {{smaller block|Two other qualifications may be added. After the rendition of a verdict in a civil case, it is still within the power of the trial judge to modify or even annul the same, in a proper case; for instance, “because the verdict is for excessive or insufficient damages, or otherwise contrary to the evidence or contrary to law.”}} {{smaller block|Again, in a criminal case, a verdict of conviction, even when accompanied by a recommendation of mercy, does not control the sentence to be meted out by the presiding magistrate, who may impose the highest or lowest or any intermediate penalty prescribed by law as proper for the offense committed.}} {{smaller block|How, then, did this institution, whose features as currently administered have just been described, originate? What are the sources from whence it arose, and the forces by which it was developed? Did it spring forth, like Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, ready for action and fully equipped with forensic vesture and legal armament, or was its development the result of the gradual accretion of successive strata of growth? As stated above, various and conflicting theories are advanced to answer these queries.}} {{smaller block|“Many writers of authority,” says Canon Stubbs, “have maintained that the entire jury system indigenous in England, some deriving it from Celtic tradition based on the principles of Roman law, and adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans from the people they had conquered, others have regarded it as a product of that legal genius of the Anglo-Saxons of which Alfred is the mythic impersonation, or as derived by that nation from the customs of primitive Germany or from their intercourse with the Danes. Nor even, when it is admitted that the system of recognition was introduced from Normandy, have legal writers agreed as to the source from which the Normans themselves derived it. One scholar maintains that it was brought by the Norsemen from Scandinavia; another, that it was derived from the processes of the Canon Law; another, that it was developed on Gallic soil from Roman principles; another, that it came from Asia through the Crusades.” An American authority insists that it “is undoubtedly a development of English institutions and civilization.” Again, it is suggested that it was borrowed by the Angles and Saxons from their Slavonic neighbors in northern Europe; it has been traced to the assises de Jerusalem of Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed to be of divine origin; and, finally, a French scholar despairingly exclaims: “Son origine se perd dans la niut de temps.”}} {{smaller block|According to Robertson, “the true answer is, that forms of trial resembling the jury system in various particulars are to be found in the primitive institutions of all [Aryan] nations. That which comes nearest in time and character to trial by jury is the system of recognition by sworn inquest, introduced into England by the Normans * * * the instrument which the lawyers in England ultimately shaped into trial by jury.” The name “Recognition,” Bracton tells us, is deduced from the fact that the participants “acknowledged” a disseisin or dispossession by their verdict, and the inquest itself was “directly derived from the Frank capitularies, into which it may have been adopted from the fiscal regulations of the Theodosian Code and thus own some distant relationship with the Roman jurisprudence.” This is the system which, Lord Campbell writes, “in the fifth Norman reign had nearly superseded the simple juridical institutions of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors;” while an eminent American jurist, after observing that investigation has shown among Norman legal usages traces more closely resembling our form of jury trial than anything afforded by the system of the Anglo-Saxons, concludes:}} {{smaller block|“We regard it, therefore, as certain that all these influences contributed to establish this mode of trial in England, and to shape it as we know it to exist there. Indeed, it was not until all of them had had an opportunity of completing their work, that we find what we should now call a jury.”}} {{smaller block|A due regard for the definiteness of legal phraseology calls for some comment on the meaning of “law and fact,” terms so frequently employed in the course of this work. Law, in its widest sense, is a rule of action; in its technical sense, it is a general rule of human action, taking cognizance only of external acts, enforced by a determinate human authority paramount within a state. Whether the rule so enforced be moral or pernicious, is impertinent to the question. “The existence of law is one thing, its merit or demerit another.” Again, “although human actions are the subject-matter about which law is conversant, they are not essential to its existence; for the rule is the same, whether its application is called forth or not. * * * The rule continues in abstraction and theory, until an act is done on which it can attach. * * * The maxim, ''ex facto oritur jus'' must be understood in this sense; and the duty of judicial tribunals, consequently, embraces the investigation of doubtful or disputed facts, as well as the application of the principles of jurisprudence to such as are ascertained.”}} {{smaller block|Fact is a term most difficult to define—so much so that Mr. Justice Stephen (in the third edition of his Digest of the Law of Evidence) abandoned the attempt previously made. Webster’s definition (ed. 1859) is: “Anything done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event.” Negatively, a learned American jurist suggests that “nothing is a question of fact which is not a question of the existence, reality, truth of something.” Anything which is the subject of testimony is “matter of fact,” while “matter of law” is the general law of the land of which courts take judicial cognizance. Evidence is the means or method by which a fact under judicial examination may be proved or disproved. “Whether there be any evidence, is a question for the judge. Whether sufficient evidence, is for the jury.”}} {{smaller block|In any event, it is clear that the formula of Coke, hereinabove quoted, “was never meant to be taken absolutely. * * * It relates to issues of fact, and not to the incidental questions that spring up before the parties are at issue. The jury has to do with only a limited class of questions of fact, namely, questions of ultimate fact.” “In general, issues of fact, and only issues of fact, are to be tried by jury; when they are so tried, the jury and not the court are to find the facts, and the court and not the jury is to give the rule of law; the jury are not to refer the evidence to the judge and ask his judgment upon that, but are to find the facts which the evidence tends to establish, and may only ask the court for judgment upon these.”}} Mr. President, I shall next take up the history of the jury system of the Anglo-Saxons: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Chapter VI.—The System of the Anglo-Saxons}}}}}} {{smaller block|As regards the manner of men who now directed the destinies of England—for under that name (derived from the Angles) the island is henceforth known—and who indelibly impressed their characteristics upon it, and concerning their status in the scale of civilization, a graphic description is afforded us by the same historian. They “were little removed from the original state of nature; the social confederacy among them was more martial than civil; they had chiefly in view the means of attack and defense against public enemies, not those of protection against their fellow citizens; their possessions were so slender and so equal that they were not exposed to great danger, and the natural bravery of the people made every man trust to himself and to his particular friends for his defense. * * * An insult upon any man was regarded by his relations and associates as a common injury; they were bound by honor, as well as by a sense of common interest, to revenge his death or any violence which he had suffered; they retaliated on the aggressor by like acts of violence; and if he were protected, as was natural and unusual, by his own clan, the quarrel was spread still wider and bred endless disorders in the nation.”}} {{smaller block|Such, then, was the state of civilization which the Saxons enjoyed, and such the social and political structure which superseded the administration of the Romans. For almost four centuries the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—true to the characteristics of their founders—present a history of uninterrupted warfare, bloodshed and internecine strife, though Christianity had meanwhile prevailed among them. Wessex, however, gradually acquired the hegemony, and in A. D. 827 its King Egbert succeeded in securing his acknowledgment as supreme head of the heptarchy, with which event the history of the English nation properly begins.}} {{smaller block|Concerning their civil and social condition, at this period, after a sojourn of 400 years on English soil, it appears that “though they had been so long settled in the island [they] seem not as yet to have been much improved beyond their German ancestors, either in arts, civility, knowledge, humanity, justice, or obedience to the laws. * * * Bounty to the church atoned for every violence against society.” It cannot be doubted that, under ordinary circumstances, nationalization would have paved the way to improvements in the administration of justice, which, under the primitive system and the constant wars of the Saxons, had sadly degenerated. For, since “their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious * * * a union also in government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility. * * * But these flattering views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, kept the Anglo-Saxons in perpetual inquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude.”}} {{smaller block|The first great landmark in the history of English law is the reign of King Alfred (871–901), who, after he had restored peace, and either settled the Danes in or expelled them from the country, turned his attention to the administration of justice, which had become a mere name. His political and juridical institutions are recorded by Hume, as follows: “That he might render the execution of justice strict and regular, he divided all England into counties; these counties he divided into hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. Every householder was answerable for the behavior of his family. * * * Ten neighboring householders were formed into one corporation, who, under the name of a tithing, decennary, or fribourg, were answerable for each other’s conduct, and over whom one person, called a tithingman, headbourg, or borsholder, was appointed to preside. Every man was punished as an outlaw who did not register himself in some tithing.}} {{smaller block|“By this institution, every man was obliged from his own interest to keep a watchful eye on the conduct of his neighbors; and was in a manner surety for the behavior of those who were placed under the division to which he belonged. Whence these decennaries received the name of frankpledges. The barsholder summoned together the whole decennary to assist him in deciding any lesser difference which occurred among the members. In appeals from the decennary, or in controversies arising between members of different decennaries, the case was brought before the hundred, which consisted of 10 decennaries or 100 families of freemen, and which was regularly assembled once in 4 weeks for the deciding of causes. (Leg. Edw. c. 2.)}} {{smaller block|“Their method of decision deserves to be noted, as being”—at least in our historian’s opinion—“the origin of juries. * * * Twelve freeholders were chosen, who, having sworn (together with the hundred or presiding magistrate of that division) to administer impartial justice, proceeded to the examination of that cause which was submitted to their jurisdiction. And besides these monthly meetings of the hundred, there was an annual meeting appointed * * * for the inquiry into crimes, the correction of abuses, and other matters of public concern. If a further appeal were desired, or in controversies between members of different hundreds, the case was brought before the freeholders of the county (or shire) over whom the bishop together with the alderman presided. A final appeal lay to the King himself.}} {{smaller block|“Formerly the alderman possessed both the civil and military authority; but Alfred * * * appointed also a sheriff in each county, who enjoyed a coordinate authority with the former in his judicial (as distinguished from the military) function. His office also empowered him to guard the rights of the crown in the county, and to levy the fines imposed.”}} {{smaller block|Such was the system established by Alfred, and adhered to by his successors as far as those turbulent times permitted. For its promotion and perpetuation, as well as for the guidance of the magistrates, on whom the duty to administer it was incumbent, the same king—according to our historical guide—“framed a body of laws which, though now lost, served long as the basis of English jurisprudence, and is generally deemed the origin of what is denominated the common law.” While his judgment concerning the paternity of the system is, that “the similarity of these institutions to the customs of the ancient Germans, and to the Saxon laws during the heptarchy, prevents us from regarding Alfred as the sole author of this plan of government, and leads us rather to think that he contented himself with reforming, extending, and executing the institutions which he found previously established.”}} {{smaller block|Thus far Hume, whose profound historical researches, combined with his early legal training, certainly entitle his opinion to much weight. But the existence, among the Saxons, of any institution resembling the jury has been hotly contested, and the dispute whether it was known to the Anglo-Saxons or introduced as a result of the Norman conquest, may be thus summarized: Coke (in his Institutes), Spelman (Glossarium Archaiologicum), Blackstone (Com. III., ch. 23), Nicholson (preface to Wilkin’s Anglo-Saxon Laws), and Turner (Hist. Anglo-Saxons, IV., book XI., ch. 9) ascribe it to Saxon paternity. On the other hand, Hickes (Dissert. Epist. p. 34), Reeves (Hist. Eng. Law, I., 22, 24), and Palgrave (Rise and Progress of Commonwealth, I, 243) claim with equal confidence that it was introduced by or at least derived from the Normans and was not of Anglo-Saxon origin.}} {{smaller block|So Judge Cooley (Am. Cycl. IX. 722) approvingly observes that “so many of the attendant circumstances indicate that it was a Norman institution, bestowed upon his English subjects by a Norman king, that Sir Francis Palgrave has not hesitated to consider our jury trial as derived directly from Norman law” and Mr. Macclachlan (Eng. Cycl. III., 24) remarks: “Without entering minutely into this controversy, it may be stated that the traces of the trial by jury, in the form in which it existed for several centuries after the conquest, are more distinctly discernible in the ancient customs of Normandy than in the few and scanty fragments of Anglo-Saxon law which have descended to our time.”}} {{smaller block|The conclusion reached by Mr. Forsyth affords perhaps the fairest statement of the case, and may be advantageously quoted in this place: “It may be confidently asserted that trial by jury was unknown to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors; and the idea of its existence in their legal system has arisen from a want of attention to the radical distinction between the members or judges composing a court, and a body of men set apart from that court, but summoned to attend in order to determine conclusively the facts of the case in dispute. This is the principle on which is founded the intervention of a jury; and no trace whatever can be found of such an institution in Anglo-Saxon times.}} {{smaller block|“If it has existed,” he continues, “it is utterly inconceivable that distinct mention of it should not frequently have occurred in the body of Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary chronicles which we possess, extending from the time of Ethelbert (568–616) to the Norman Conquest (1066). Those who have fancied that they discover indications of its existence during that period, have been misled by false analogies and inattention to the distinguishing features of the jury trial which have been previously pointed out. While, however, we assert that it was unknown in Saxon times, it is nevertheless true that we can recognize the traces of a system which paved the way for its introduction, and rendered its adaptation at a later period [the reign of Henry II.] neither unlikely nor abrupt. * * * Of the exact mode in which trials were conducted in these [ante-Norman] courts, we know little; but the Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporaneous annals make frequent mention of two classes of witnesses, who play a most important part in the judicial proceedings of the time.” These are compurgators and official witnesses, who, together with other features of their system, will be more fully considered hereafter.}} {{smaller block|With the demise of King Alfred, his system gradually lost ground. “During the reign of eight kings who succeeded Alfred,” wrote Gilmans, “the country suffered constant invasions from Denmark, which became so oppressive that in 991 the King, Ethelred II., agreed to pay the Danes 10,000 pounds, called danegelt, to buy immunity. This sum was raised by a tax on land, the first one recorded in English history.” Eleven years later the same King planned and partly executed a general massacre of foreigners in the island (Danemort) which led to a fierce attack from the Danes, to the expulsion of the King, and to the establishment of Sweyn as ruler of England. His son Canute married Ethelred’s widow, a sister of the Duke of Normandy, in order, as it were, to legitimize his title, to strengthen his alliances, and to make secure the succession of his line.}} {{smaller block|When Canute, the Dane, mounted the English throne (1014) it might be supposed that he would transplant to, and incorporate in the system of, England the Danish quasi-jury or Nævninger—an institution common, with modifications, to all the Scandinavian nations—which derived its appellation from the fact of being composed of a fixed number of men (usually 12) named by the inhabitants of each district; a majority of those so chosen was competent to render a decision (subject to the ratification of the bishop and 8 best men of the district) in civil suits; while in criminal cases the accuser was obliged to convince the Nævn by sworn evidence of the truth of his charge, before the accused would be subjected to a public trial—this institution thus combining the functions of grand and petit jury with the exercise of judicial powers.}} {{smaller block|Canute, however, who was a lineal descendant of Alfred, and desirous of emulating that monarch, adopted a policy of conciliation toward the English. He had his succession to the throne ratified by a general assembly (Witenagemot) and publicly consented to restore and observe the Saxon customs and laws. In 1030, he addressed a letter “To all the Nations of the English”—under which designation he also meant to include the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—in which he said: “Be it known to you all, that I have dedicated my life to God, to govern my kingdom with justice, and to observe the right in all things.” That is, he refrained from making any essential innovations or alterations in the systems (political or judicial) to which his several dominions were accustomed, and in consequence Danish rule had no tangible formative effect on English jurisprudence.}} {{smaller block|The last of the Saxon line who ruled in England—chosen by the people when Sweyn’s family became extinct—was Edward the Confessor (1042–66) whom Hume deems commendable for his attention to the administration of justice, and his compiling for that purpose a body of laws which he collected from the laws of Ethelbert, Ina, and Alfred. This compilation, though now lost (for the laws that pass under Edward’s name were composed afterward) was long the object of affection to the English nation.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER VII.—FORMS OF TRIAL AND TRIBUNALS AMONG THE SAXONS}}}} {{smaller block|Having examined the social and political status of the Saxons in England, as evidenced by their history and environment, we may expect to find, on considering the judicial institutions, their personal characteristics reflected therein. Here, as there, we distinguish the same primitive system of administration, the same rudimentary ideas of right, the same regard for the efficacy of clerical absolution, the same adherence to old and meaningless forms, and the same reverence for the vis major.}} {{smaller block|The judicial system of the Anglo-Saxons depended for its administration on, and consisted of, four distinct factors or elements: these were, sectatores or suitors of court, the secta or suit of witnesses, official witnesses, and compurgators. These have been generally confounded or at least not clearly distinguished, and the misconception of their proper functions has given rise to many ingenious theories. In general it may be said that of all these functionaries the first class only performed judicial duties; the second and the third were species of witnesses; the fourth officiated (at least originally) in criminal cases only, while none of them were jurors. A delineation of the functions of each will be given, and a distinction attempted.}} {{smaller block|The name of sectatores is applied by Forsyth to the limited number of freemen “who attended the hundred, county, and manorial courts, to try offenses and determine disputes there; * * * and the obligation to attend was in the nature of a tenure, for neglect of which they might be distrained to appear.” For, in accordance with the customs of those days, “to do suit at a county or other inferior court was * * * one of the common tenures by which land was held, and the suitors, called sectatores, or * * * at a later period pares, were therefore bound to give their attendance.” Anciently their number appears to have depended on chance or convenience; nor do they appear to have acted always under the sanction of an oath; for to Reeves “it seems that causes in the county and other courts were heard and determined by an indefinite number of persons called sectatores,” of whom “the frequent mention,” he continues, “is no proof of juries, properly so-called, being known to our Saxon ancestors.” It would seem that this form of judicial tribunal was the modified outcome of a feature of the elaborate county system established by Alfred, and a result of the alterations necessitated and the encroachments caused by the incessant warfare prevalent after the death of that monarch, which must have greatly affected his system of government. The whole matter, however, is involved in much obscurity, and will be resumed, to some extent, in the chapter treating of the ''judicium parium''.}} {{smaller block|Concerning the second of the four classes, Professor Robertson observes: “The trial ''per sectam'' * * * resembled in principle the system of compurgation. The plaintiff proved his case by vouching a certain number of witnesses (secta) who had seen the transaction in question, and the defendant rebutted the presumption thus created by vouching a larger number of witnesses on his own side.” It was thus an application to civil suits of the principle, which governed the system of compurgation in relation to criminal causes. At a later period in Saxon history, however, it seems that compurgation was also extended to (and thus superseded the use of the secta in) * * * civil proceedings; or, at least, that the term “compurgation” was employed to designate both the criminal and the civil (''i. e.'', the sectatory) method. Indeed, the very name of secta became an alternative term for sectatores—the judges above described—which led to the confounding of the one with the other, and bred endless confusion and mistake.}} {{smaller block|At a more advanced period of the Anglo-Saxon dominion, when the defects of their mode of evidence and system of trial became perceptible even to their untutored minds, an attempt was made to partially remedy these defects by the official appointment in each district of sworn witnesses, whose duty it was to attest therein all sales, endowment of a woman ''ad ostium ecclesiae'', and the execution of charters. They were not subject to cross-examination, and their oath was decisive in case of dispute. Later, persons peculiarly qualified by circumstances (though not preappointed), were similarly sworn to prove age, ownership of chattels, and the death of one in whose estate dower was claimed. Hence in the Year Books (16 Edw. II., 507, A. D. 1323) we read complaint that one “may name ses cosyns et ses auns, who by his procurement will decide against us.”}} {{smaller block|The most important of the four elements, and that destined to play the largest part in the development of trial by jury, was compurgation. Under the Saxon system, in criminal cases the charge of the prosecutor or accuser sufficed to put the accused on his defense.}} {{smaller block|This defense was by means of the process of compurgation, which was in vogue among the various Teutonic nations (12 being the usual number) and rested on the maxim: “Nobilis homo ingenuus—cum duodecim ingenuis se purget.” Compurgators may be defined as persons, who supported by their oaths the credibility of the party accused, pledging their belief in the latter’s denial of the charge brought against him.}} {{smaller block|These were in no sense witnesses, for they might be wholly ignorant of the real facts in dispute; nor were they a jury, for no evidence was submitted to their consideration. They were merely friends of the party who summoned them; they knew his character, and by their united oaths they at once attested that character and their confidence in his truthfulness and the justice of his cause.}} {{smaller block|This mode of trial was brought into England by the Saxons, and Judge Cooley thus describes it: “Then the party accused—or, in later times, the party plaintiff or defendant—appeared with his friends, and they swore, he laying his hand on theirs and swearing with them, to the innocence of the accused, or to the claim or defense of the party. Little is certainly known either of the origin or of the extent, in point of time or of country, over which the trial by compurgators prevailed; but it must have had great influence over the subsequent forms of procedure. It fixed the number of the traverse (''i. e.'', the petit or trial) jury at 12, that being the common number of compurgators * * * and this was a great improvement on the varying and sometimes very large number in Greece and Rome.”}} {{smaller block|Where the compurgators coincided in a favorable declaration, there was a complete acquittal. But if the accused was unable to present a sufficient number of these purgers; or, “if the party had been before accused of larceny or perjury, or had otherwise been rendered infamous and was thought not worthy of credit—he was driven to make out his innocence by an appeal to heaven, in the trial by ordeal,” which was practiced either by the boiling water or the red-hot iron; the former being supplied to the common people, while the latter was reserved for the nobility. The nature of this institution is so curious and interesting, and its peculiarities throw so much light on the character of that age, as to warrant a fuller consideration of this primitive predecessor and sometime competitor of our criminal jury.}} {{smaller block|If the accused was sentenced to undergo the ordeal by hot water, “he was to put his head into it or his whole arm, according to the degree of the offense: if it was by cold water, his thumbs were tied to his toes, and in this posture he was thrown into it. If he escaped unhurt by the boiling water (which might easily be contrived by the art of the priests), or if he sunk in the cold water, which would certainly happen, he was declared innocent. If he was hurt by the boiling water or swum in the cold, he was considered as guilty.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER.

This so-called amendment that came from the House does not provide for a jury trial unless the judge in his discretion sees fit to give one; or unless he imposes punishment of more than 45 days’ imprisonment or a fine of more than $300. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator quoting at this point from a particular case, and, if so, will the Senator give us the name of the case? Mr. THURMOND. I am not quoting from a case at this particular time. I am going back into the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And to show how through the life of this Nation the jury trial has developed. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And how our forefathers in writing the Constitution put into it by article III., section 2, under which a man charged with a crime is entitled to a trial by jury. To remove any further doubt, when the Bill of Rights was written the same provision was made in several places. The sixth amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees a man charged with a crime the right to a jury trial. During the night, probably about 4 or 5 o’clock this morning, I did cite a case holding that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man who is being tried for criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know whether it has ever been held that criminal contempt is not a crime under the law of the Nation? Mr. THURMOND. I do not know of any decision in the courts where criminal contempt has not been considered a crime, and I have had all the authorities and ran them down. Criminal contempt is a crime. We have a decision on that point. When a man is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a trial by jury. However, under this proposal, the so-called compromise which came from the House, he will not get a jury trial unless the judge, out of the goodness of his heart, says “I think you are entitled to a jury trial, and I am going to give you one.” Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Or unless the judge tries him first and finds him guilty and finds that he should be punished by more than 45 days’ imprisonment or $300 fine, in which event he can give him a new trial. The judge tries him once, and then he will be tried again. I think there again the so-called compromise is unconstitutional because you cannot put a man in jeopardy two times. If he is tried once, he has been in jeopardy and he cannot be put in jeopardy again. The whole thing is a concoction to get a compromise on something for civil rights. It is purely an endeavor to get some kind of compromise; but it violates the Constitution, and I hope the Senate and the Congress will not pass it. Even people who believe in civil rights and have fought for civil rights are of that opinion. The distinguished Senator from Minnesota [Mr. {{sc|Humphrey}}] has made many speeches on civil rights. I remember one he made in 1948 at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, which I did not like at all because I am a States righter and not a so-called civil righter. I believe in real civil rights, but not the kind of civil rights which are being alleged here. I do not know how Senators who really believe in civil rights and who know the Constitution can vote for a bill which flatfootedly violates several provisions of the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know of any greater civil right any person possesses in any nation than the right to a trial by a jury of his peers and his neighbors when he is accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot imagine any civil right I would rather possess were I charged with a crime. I do not know of any civil right that is more vital to the people of the United States than the right of trial by jury. I do not know of any civil right that one could envision that could be more important. The right of trial by jury is most important because a man may be tried for his life. If he is not tried for his life, he can be put in prison. He can have his liberty taken away from him. It is only after trial by jury that a man in this Nation can have his liberty taken away from him. I do not want a judge to try me if I ever have to be tried. I want 12 of my peers, 12 of my fellow countrymen, as the Constitution provides. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Is not the right to trial by jury, in which a person accused of a crime to challenge any prejudiced person who might be on the jury venire one of the possible differences between the free system of government that exists in this Nation and other free nations as compared to the system of government that exists in Communist nations? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Senator has the vision to see and realize the importance of what jury trial means to the people of this Nation. I quoted during the night Associate Justice Brennan of the Supreme Court. I do not think a man could have made a stronger address than he made on the jury-trial question. Justice Brennan made a powerful argument for a jury trial even in automobile-accident cases. Even where property is involved—not liberty, not life, but property—he believed there should be protection to the citizen through jury trial. Under the so-called compromise civil-rights bill a judge can put a man in jail for 45 days, and some judges will do so if they have the opportunity. They will make it exactly 45 days if they want to punish a man. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Under the facts stated in regard to the situation in Washington Parish, La., it was contended that more than 1,000 colored people were denied voting rights. I am not sure if that was correct or not. Perhaps those people should or should not be on the rolls. But assuming the charge was correct, it would be possible for a judge in that case to put a person in jail for {{SIC|4,500|45,000}} days without a jury trial, alleging that there were 1,000 different offenses. Mr. THURMOND. I see no reason why he could not, if he tries the defendant on each separate offense, which I think he would have to do to sentence him for more than 45 days. If he tries the accused for one act of depriving a person of his right to vote, there would be only one act, and 45 days in my opinion would be the limit. But if a judge saw fit to try a man and sentence him to prison for 45 days, he could try him again on another charge with respect to a man who claims his rights were violated in connection with voting and the defendant could be given another 45 days. I do not think there is any limit to that. I think he could keep filing them. Mr. LONG: Is it not conceivable following such a procedure a judge could put a man in jail for his natural lifetime without a jury trial? Suppose he alleges that the defendant prevented 2,000 people from registering. That would be 90,000 days he could put the man in jail without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. While I think theoretically that is possible, I do not think actually it would be practicable. But it is theoretically possible to do that. I wish to read the distinguished Senator what Associate Justice Brennan said: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it.}} What is the Congress doing here if they let a judge try a man for criminal contempt, which is a crime? I quote Associate Justice Brennan further: {{smaller block|One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence—}} In my State they cannot comment on the evidence and I do not believe they can in the State of the Senator from Louisiana, can they? In a few cases I believe they can. Mr. LONG. No; not in a criminal case. Mr. THURMOND. I do not believe they can even instruct the jury except as the parties request instruction. In some States the judge cannot charge the jury at all except where the parties request him to instruct, so jealously is the right of trial by jury regarded, leaving to the 12 fellow countrymen, 12 peers of the defendant, the authority to decide the case. I wish to quote further from Associate Justice Brennan: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies, and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question to my distinguished colleague from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. I regret that because of my ill health, of which the Senator is aware, I was unable to be here. Mr. THURMOND. I am sorry, too. I thought about the distinguished Senator a great deal and inquired about him. Mr. LANGER. I am sure during the night sometime the distinguished Senator from South Carolina discussed how the jury system came into being; is that correct? The divine right of kings principle was set aside and the jury system installed in its place. Mr. THURMOND. That is right. I am going now into the history of the jury system. That is the very thing I am discussing now. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that in the State of South Carolina—and, I might say, it is true in some of the other States—the higher courts have set aside verdicts of guilty because of the presence of prejudiced jurors or jurors who did not tell the truth on their examination, when they were asked if they knew anything about the facts. We have always been extremely jealous under the Constitution to see that every defendant receives a fair and honest trial. I know that there have been such cases in the State of South Carolina as the type to which I have referred. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. I was a trial judge for 8 years, and came into close contact with jurors. I know how jurors feel. I know how the people feel. The citizens of this country believe in the jury system. It is a part of their nature to believe in the jury system. Those who have talked with me do not like the fact that the bill provides for compromising the Constitution in order to get a compromise civil-rights bill. We should not compromise the Constitution. That is exactly what this so-called compromise bill does, on the jury-trial question. Mr. LANGER. I am sure that when the distinguished Senator was a judge, if any efforts were made to influence a jury, either by telephone or letter, if the judge became aware of it, he promptly declared a mistrial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is correct. Any judge would set aside a verdict if a juror were influenced. Judges are human. Some people look upon a Federal judge as sacrosanct, so to speak—clothed with a robe, high, mighty, and arrogant. They are human, and they are subject to the errors of human nature, just as any other citizen is. They should not be entrusted with this great power, involving the liberty of our people, in violation of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that once in a while there is a dishonest judge. Is not that true? Mr. THURMOND. I presume it is. However, I have never heard of any in South Carolina. Mr. LANGER. We had a very dishonest Federal judge in the State of North Dakota at one time. I had personal experience with him. Time and again during my service in the Senate I have charged that judge with being dishonest. He is still alive. I did not rely upon Congressional immunity. I have made that statement often. I have never been sued for it, and I know very well that I never will be. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the distinguished Senator would not want such a judge to try him for criminal contempt, which is a crime. I am certain that the distinguished Senator from North Dakota would want a jury to try him. Is not that correct? Mr. LANGER. That is certainly correct. I believe that in the State of South Carolina, or any other State, the people will insist not only on good, honest judges, but also on seeing to it that the jury system is kept unimpaired. Mr. THURMOND. Some of the proponents of the bill think they are going to punish the South. However, the bill applies to every American. The bill will fly back in the faces of some of its proponents and their friends, and they will be surprised. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to discuss this question with the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. I was discussing the history of the jury system. I continue to read from “History of the Jury System,” in the chapter entitled “Trials and Tribunals Among the Saxons.” {{smaller block|It will be observed that it was the priests who had charge of administering these tests of innocence—termed ''judicia dei''—and they doubtless reaped a rich harvest from the monopoly of this privilege, commensurate with the wealth and the guilt of the accused.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator further yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In view of the fact that I mentioned a dishonest judge, I should like to give an illustration of how a dishonest judge operates. In the first place, when it is desired to obtain a jury which is dishonest, a special assistant United States marshal will be appointed. The marshal will walk into a store, for example, and say, “Mr. Jones, I would like to have you take 100 subscriptions to a certain newspaper.” The man behind the counter might say, “Why should I take a hundred subscriptions?” The marshal may say, “We are fighting the Governor of the State.” If the man takes 100 subscriptions, and pays $100, or $1 apiece for a year, his name goes into the jury box; and if he does not subscribe, his name does not go into the jury box. In the case to which I have reference, the slips which were put into the box were different. The names of those who were prejudiced against a defendant would be written on wide slips. The names of those who were not so prejudiced were written upon narrow slips. A clerk was conniving with the judge. I may say that later the clerk went to the penitentiary. He would feel around until he felt a broad slip, and withdraw that slip. A Federal judge has a vast amount of power. A judge may say, “I am not going to allow any of the defense lawyers to examine any prospective jurors. Let them write out their questions and submit them to me, and I will ask the prospective jurors whether or not they are prejudiced, or what answers they have to the questions.” Two or three days might be consumed in the effort to get a fair jury; but because of the fact that the Federal judge will not allow the lawyers for the defendant to ask any questions, the judge will finally get a jury which has not been thoroughly examined from the viewpoint of the defendant. That is not all. A dishonest judge, by the tone of his voice, can let the jury know what he himself thinks of the case. For example, the defendant may be giving testimony, and if the United States attorney interrupts him the Federal judge may say, “Well, let the defendant tell his story,” with a sneer on his face, for the benefit of the jury. When it comes to his instructions, he may, in a very low tone of voice, give the instructions he is required to give which are favorable to the defendant. Then he raises his voice and makes gestures which let the jury know he does not believe the defendant to be innocent. He tries to impress the jury by his loud tone of voice and the things he says in his instructions, which tend to prejudice the jury. I have seen it happen. I myself was a trial lawyer. I served at one time as attorney general of my State, and later as governor of the State. As I have previously stated, a Federal judge has a vast amount of power. He can name special bailiffs is he decides that the number of bailiffs in the court is not sufficient. He can appoint half a dozen or a dozen more, and have them carry revolvers to impress the rank and file of the jurors with the great importance of the case. A Federal judge can claim that his life is in danger, and he can have Federal troops escort him back and forth between the courthouse and the hotel. A Federal judge can have airplanes flying over the courthouse, to repel the mob, for the purpose of impressing the jury with the gravity of the case which is pending before it. I have gone all through that experience. When I came to the Senate one of the charges brought against me was with respect to the four Federal cases in which I, as governor of the State, was tried. A Federal judge who is dishonest, with all the power he has, need not be afraid of any governor, because he holds the position for life. During the history of the United States there have been only five impeachments of Federal judges. I well remember a case which was brought before I became a Member of the Senate. Senator Josiah Bailey, a very distinguished Senator, said to me in connection with that case, “I voted ‘not guilty’ on all counts except the last one. I voted ‘guilty’ on the last one.” It was the fact that he voted “guilty” on that count which resulted in the impeachment of the judge. We must take into consideration the money that is required, the lawyers who are required, and so forth. The Senate does not like to take up an impeachment case. Yet, that is the only remedy a poor man has in the matter of impeaching a dishonest Federal judge. I am frankly delighted that the distinguished Senator from South Caroline has been going into the history of how the jury trial originated. There was a great battle to obtain the right of trialby jury on behalf of the people of England before they ever achieved their goal. One of the very first of the English juries was sent out by the judge time and time again and asked to bring in a verdict of guilty, and the jury refused to do so. They were out for many hours defying the judge. Finally, the judge said he would put them in jail. One of the greatest calamities that could possibly occur in this country or in any other country would be to have the “divine right of kings” come back and the jury system made inoperative. I wish to thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate. Mr. THURMOND. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota is to be commended for his statement. Mr. President, it is not a question of civil rights. They have hooked to it an unconstitutional provision. It is now a question of whether we shall vote for a bill that violates the Constitution and takes away from citizens the right to a trial by jury. I believe it was at Runnymeade, in 1215, that there were wrenched from King John certain rights for the benefit of the people which were written into a paper known as the Magna Carta. One of the rights wrenched from King John and which the people had cherished so long and which had been denied them was the right of trial by jury. Mr. President, our Declaration of Independence starts out by citing grievances, among which was the fact that in many instances the citizens of the Colonies had been tried without a jury. That was one of the grievances brought up and included in the Declaration of Independence. When our Constitution was written our forefathers had heard their fathers speak of how in generations back the people had suffered persecution. That was why many of them came to these shores, to enjoy liberty and freedom. After studying the governments of the world at that time, our forefathers finally decided on the tripartite system of government, with its three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, which could check on each other. They did not stop with that, Mr. President. The States organized their governments on the same basis, so that what we have is what is known as a compound Republic. We have a division of power between the States and the Federal Government. We have a division of power between the different branches on the national level and on the State level. Our forefathers, when they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787, were determined that one thing would be contained in it would be the right of trial by jury. It is found in article III., section 2, and it provides that the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. It does not make any other exceptions for civil rights or anything else. It provides that all crimes except that of impeachment shall be tried by jury and that the trial shall be held in the State in which the crime was committed. Even after the Constitution was written, three distinguished men attending the Convention would not sign it. They were George Mason, of Virginia, who was the author of the Bill of Rights; John Randolph, of Virginia, another very prominent citizen; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. They refused to sign the Constitution even after it was written. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, would the Senator from South Carolina be willing to yield to me for the purpose of submitting a unanimous-consent request to the Senate to the effect that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears the telegram of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin may be read and the oath be administered by unanimous consent of the Senate, without my friend from South Carolina losing the floor thereby, and that his remarks thereafter shall not count as a second speech against him, and that this interruption be placed in another portion of the {{sc|Record}}? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield under those conditions. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears in the Chamber the clerk may read the telegram from the Governor of Wisconsin and that the Senate give its consent to the oath being administered to the Senator-elect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous-consent request of the Senator from Texas? The Chair thinks it also includes the provision that the Senator from South Carolina [Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}] shall not lose the floor. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. All the conditions enumerated, Mr. President. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, reserving the right to object—and, of course, I shall not object—I should like to be associated with the unanimous-consent request made by the distinguished majority leader. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I make the request on behalf of the minority leader and myself. I wish to make it abundantly clear that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears consent will have already been given to his being sworn in after the telegrams have been read; and that the Senator from South Carolina will still retain the floor and will be protected in his right to the floor and in the fact that he has made only one speech on this subject. Also, Mr. President, I request that the interruption be placed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and the request is agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. I thank the Senator from South Carolina for yielding. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was engaged in colloquy with the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Langer}}] ,at the time when we were interrupted. I should like to continue the colloquy with him. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from North Dakota for his questions and for bringing out the points he did. What I started to say is that when the Constitution Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 for the purpose of writing a constitution, the deputies, as they were called then, were confronted with the very difficult proposition of how the States would have representation. The large States wanted representation in proportion to population; the small States wanted representation according to States, regardless of size. Of course, they reached a compromise, and we have the two bodies of Congress. The Senate has an equal number of Senators from each State, regardless of the size of the State, and the House of Representatives is based on population. That is only one of the many intricate problems which had to be fought and settled by the Convention. It was a very difficult task to bring about the adoption of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question at this point? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. The Senator from North Dakota, as the distinguished Senator from South Carolina knows, is very much interested in the small States. The two Senators from North Dakota are very much interested in the small States. They have been battling and fighting for the rights of the small States. Today there are six States which never have had any Cabinet members. For example, take the State of Florida. It has now for 107 years been a member of this Union. Yet the State of Florida has never had a member of the Cabinet, although the city of New York under Franklin Roosevelt at one time had six from the State of New York. Take the State of Nevada. Nevada had an Ambassador. The State of South Dakota has never had one. Montana never has had one. Idaho never has had one. The Senator from North Dakota finally succeeded in getting one for North Dakota, the first one after 62 years of statehood. It seems to me that the Senators from these States and from the States of smaller population a long time ago ought to have gotten together and said to the State Department, “We demand that citizens of the States of lesser population also have some appointments as ambassadors, or occasionally have a man appointed to the Cabinet of the President of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree with the Senator, and what I said was by way of illustration. Mr. LANGER. Yes. Mr. THURMOND. The point I started to make was this: There were so many problems confronting the deputies in Philadelphia that they had a very hard time drafting a constitution, and even after it was drafted, it would not have been ratified if they had not promised the leading political leaders of the day that there would be a Bill of Rights. That is the only way they were able to have the Constitution adopted; and even then, George Mason, of Virginia; John Hancock, of Massachusetts; Elbridge Gary, of Massachusetts, refused to sign it. They did not want to take for granted any question about the rights to which the people were entitled, and one of the precious rights in which they were most interested was the right of trial by jury. The right of trial by jury was not only written in article III., section 2 of the Constitution, but in several places in the Bill of Rights. The right of trial by jury has been handed down to us as part of our Government as a great heritage, and we do not want to run the risk of losing that precious right. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true at the present time in one foreign country after another, to whom we have been sending foreign aid and with whom we fought in World War II., later in the Korean war—one of the very things we are advocating in these countries are reforms which will provide trial by jury. Is that not correct? Mr. THURMOND. I understand we have been advocating that other countries, in which we have been trying to help the people to set up democratic governments, accord the right of trial by jury. It is going to look a little inconsistent to those people to whom we have held out trial by jury as the ideal, when we pass a bill which proposes to take away trial by jury. Some persons do not feel this is important; some of them say, “Well it is a compromise. The House held to a certain idea and the Senate another; and it is a matter of getting together as best they could.” But this is a vital question. There is nothing more important, no right more important than that of trial by jury. Mr. LANGER. I assume the Senator means a fair trial, an honest trial. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. The experience the Senator has had as judge ably demonstrated that, did it not? Mr. THURMOND. My experience has been that a jury will come nearer rendering a fair verdict than a judge will, because there are 12 men on the jury—and Mr. Justice Brennan concurs in this—who hear the evidence and reach a conclusion. It is a most important matter; yet here in this so-called civil rights bill— Madam President, may we have order, please? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. The effect of the so-called civil-rights bill is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution says, in article III., section 2, that “the trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment; shall be by jury,” and then in the sixth amendment to the Constitution the statement is made again. It says, “In all”—it does not say in some—it does not say in all but civil rights; it makes no exception. It says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses.}} And so forth. instead of that, this civil-rights bill now includes an amendment—which has been added by the House of Representatives—which gives the judge the power to make the decision, without a trial by jury, unless the fine exceeds a certain amount of money or unless the period of incarceration exceeds a certain number of days. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair) Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true that one of the arguments used when the right of women’s suffrage was asked for, was that women should have the right to sit on juries? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that women be allowed to sit on the juries. I think it is very wholesome to have that allowed. Such a law has not yet been passed in South Carolina, but I think it will be; in my opinion, that time will come. Mr. LANGER. We who live in North Dakota have had such a law for many years, and it works very satisfactorily. Mr. THURMOND. I so understand. In some States, women are allowed to serve on juries, if they wish, but they are not forced to do so. In other States, women must serve on juries, if called. In other States, women do not have to serve at all on juries. Madam President, the bill of rights—and the right of trial by jury is the heart of the bill of rights—is the most precious document of the American people. Madam President, let me say to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota that when the Declaration of Independence was written, it included a very definite reference to trial by jury. I wish to read part of the Declaration of Independence, in order to remind the distinguished Senator from North Dakota of that fact. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, I shall be very glad to have the Senator from South Carolina do so. Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I read now from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.}} {{smaller block|We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government.

Madam President, it is very interesting to hear the Declaration of Independence read. Mr. THURMOND. It is, indeed. I read further from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.}} {{smaller block|He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.}} {{smaller block|He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.}} {{smaller block|He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.}} {{smaller block|He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.}} {{smaller block|He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.}} {{smaller block|He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.}} {{smaller block|He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:}} {{smaller block|For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:}} {{smaller block|For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:}} {{smaller block|For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:}} {{smaller block|For imposing taxes on us without our consent:}} {{smaller block|For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.}} That was one of the cardinal points which was set forth in the Declaration of Independence, namely, that the King of England had deprived the colonists “in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}, in accordance with the previous unanimous-consent agreement, yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas, for the purpose of having the Senator-elect from Wisconsin take the oath of office. By agreement, the proceedings incident thereto appear in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) The VICE PRESIDENT. Pursuant to the order, the Chair recognizes the Senator from South Carolina. The Senate will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, a good many Senators were not here when I presented my views earlier during this debate, and I shall take a few minutes now to express a few points which I should like to have them hear. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution, because that would be the result, insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common law cases. As I have stated earlier today, I cited a decision during this debate to show that criminal contempt is a crime. Since criminal contempt is a crime, a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no way, under the Constitution, by which a man charged with a crime can be denied a trial by jury. Since the decision I have cited shows that criminal contempt is a crime, it simply follows that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. These guaranties to which I referred, in article III., section 2, of the Constitution, and in the fifth and seventh amendments, were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historical document their complaints against the denial of the right to trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. I am going to read the section of the Declaration of Independence in which our forefathers with courage and stamina severed their relations with the mother country, Great Britain, and established their own government. A list of grievances against the King was set forth in that document and among those grievances there was one pertaining to trial by jury. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|Depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.}} In other words, those who signed the Declaration of Independence gave as one of the reasons for declaring their independence and for cutting loose from the King the fact that they had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. Therefore we can see with that incentive in mind in writing the Declaration of Independence why there was such a strong urge in writing the Constitution to include in it a provision for trial by jury, and then later in writing the Bill of Rights, to provide a trial by jury without the exceptions which are contained in this so-called compromise that came from the House of Representatives. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and one-time Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. The Bill of Rights, he declared— {{smaller block|denies the power of any Government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.}} Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional Government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic laws, if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes; in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.}} The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “the trial of all crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days’ imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. In this day and time I wonder, sometimes, if there is not too much compromise. It does my heart good to see a man with strong convictions, a man who believes in something, a man who stands for something and who is not willing to compromise on everything when there is a vital principle at stake. Mr. President, I realize that legislation to a large extent is compromise. That is perfectly legitimate when it does not involve the Constitution. But when it involves the Constitution, there should be no compromise. There should have been no compromise on this bill which comes back to the Senate from the House. There can be no compromise with reference to the manner in which the bill was amended. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of Government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was approved by the Senate. The enactment in the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, was a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope that a majority of this Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the bloc voting of the pivotal States. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that— {{smaller block|Behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about.}} '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', 12 members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies visit the Senate, and Mr. Thurmond’s is interrupted, so as to introduce the deputies appropriately. At the time in the ''Record'', several other matters are read into the ''Record'', namely, a “Message from the House,” the “House Bills and Joint Resolutions Referred,” and the “House Concurrent Resolution Referred.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, to explain his point Mr. Alsop cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the “Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States,” Mr. Alsop stated that it is “almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election.” In other words, Mr. Alsop says that the whole civil-rights fight is purely political, and the effect of it is that both parties are vying to get the Negro vote in the doubtful States. To explain his point he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in those States. Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any Presidential candidate could lose those three States and win the election. I shall not take any more further time to present the analysis he made, but he went into considerable detail. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today, but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of this bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether or not to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge so long as he does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed for denying trial by jury. The proponents of this bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected by it. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When this bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted that great legal mind of the 18th century of England, Blackstone, because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence. I have also quoted heretofore and cited a case which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That is a decision I have heretofore reviewed. I might refer to it again for the benefit of any who missed it, because that is an important point. I do not believe that some of the lawyers in the Congress have realized that criminal contempt is a crime. ''Bessett'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' (194 U. S. 324) says a contempt proceeding is criminal in its nature. ''Ex parte'' Grossman (267 U. S. 87) says a criminal contempt committed by disobedience of an injunction issued by the district court to abate a nuisance in pursuance of the prohibition law is an offense against the United States, and within the pardoning powers of the President under article II. of the Constitution. The ''Conkey'' case I just referred to, volume 194 United States Reports, page 324, defines civil and criminal contempt, pointing out that the latter, criminal contempt, is criminal and punitive in its nature, and the Government, the courts, and the people are interested in their prosecution. If criminal contempt is a crime, as the United States Supreme Court decision holds it is, then under the Constitution of the United States a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury. There is no ifs, ands, and buts about it. There can be no exceptions. Article III., section 2 of the Constitution provides: {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights, it is provided: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} Mr. President, when this bill was previously debated in the Senate, I cited Blackstone as an authority, and I may cite him again today, but I want to refer to a portion of this bill, to show how it violates the Constitution on the jury trial question. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to my distinguished friend for a question. Mr. LANGER. Could the Senator from South Carolina tell us how it happened that the Federal judges encroached upon the rights of defendants? How did they come to hold that contempt of court was not a crime? Mr. THURMOND. There is a long story about contempt and how it arrived at where it is now. I might say, in brief, and that is what my distinguished friend is interested in, that under the present law a man charged with criminal contempt gets a jury trial unless the Government is a party to the suit, and in labor disputes defendants get a jury trial even if the Government is a party to the suit. Under this so-called compromise which the House sent to the Senate, that will not be the case unless a judge in his discretion sees fit to give the defendant a jury trial, or the judge tries him and decides he wants to punish him to a greater extent than a $300 fine or a 45 days’ prison sentence, in which event he would then have a jury trial. Mr. President, under the version of the bill which was passed by the House of Representatives, the Attorney General could substitute the government for a private party, and thereby could deprive an individual of a jury trial. But the Senate amended the bill as passed by the House of Representatives; and the Senate sent the bill, as thus amended, back to the House of Representatives. The Senate, by means of one of its amendments, drew a distinction and delineated between civil contempt and criminal contempt. The amendment provided that if the purpose of the action the judge wished to obtain was compliance with his order, in the case of something to be done in the future, failure to comply with the order would constitute civil contempt; but if the purpose was to punish for something done in the past, failure to comply with the judge’s order would constitute criminal contempt. The Senate amended the bill, as I have stated, and returned the bill, as thus amended, to the House of Representatives. Then the House of Representatives added the amendment which I believe violates the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. It has been a pleasure, I assure the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. Mr. President, because of the authoritative place that Blackstone holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him at this time. Every lawyer respects Mr. Blackstone. He said: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law.}} That is what Blackstone said about trial by jury—that it is “the glory of the English law.” Blackstone further said: {{smaller block|And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under Providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} In other words, Rome, Sparta, and Carthage did not have trial by jury when their people lost their liberties. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen; chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth and the surest guardians of public justice, For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, that is what Mr. Blackstone said. No brighter legal mind ever shone in the brilliant galaxy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied to another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and he made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. * * * One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions.}} Mr. President, in my State the judge charges the jury as to the law, but he cannot comment on the facts. In some States a judge is not even permitted to charge the jury, unless the parties to the suit request it. I read further from the address by Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials, because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, those are the words of Associate Justice Brennan, in speaking about jury trials. I do not know how he could have stated the matter in much stronger terms. Mr. President, that statement by Associate Justice Brennan is most significant, to me, in that it comes from a member of the present Supreme Court of the United States. I shall not predict what the Court may do when the question of the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury, as embodied in the so-called compromise, is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill to be unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in the case of ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said—and this is the Supreme Court of the United States speaking: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Kennedy}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. If the Congress can say to the people of the United States that a Federal judge has absolute power to forbid a jury trial if the sentence is not more than 45 days in jail or a fine of not more than $300, and if such a law is held constitutional, what would there be to stop a future Congress from changing the amounts to 10 times those—in other words, let us say, to 450 days in jail and a fine of $3,000, or even more? As I see it, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is fighting for a principle. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. The principle—not the exact amount of the punishment or the exact amount of the fine—is the important consideration in this case. Mr. LANGER. In other words, the Senator from South Carolina is chiefly concerned with the principle, rather than with the exact amount of the punishment—whether it be 45 days in jail or a fine of $300, or whether it be more than that; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. Certainly it is a fact that the Congress should not give to any Federal judge the power to levy fines of $300 or to imprison for 45 days, without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Congress does not have power to do it if it wants to. Mr. LANGER. In my opinion, you certainly quoted excellent authority to sustain that view. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the Constitution provided that a Federal judge could give to a defendant a jury trial if he wanted to do so, or to refuse it if he wanted to do that, then there would be authority for what the House sent to the Senate. If the Constitution provided that in cases of criminal contempt defendants would be excepted from the jury. trial, the House would have been legally justified in passing what they did. But there is no exception to the right of jury trial in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution will first have to be amended in order that this so-called compromise bill, which has passed the House and is before the Senate, can be upheld. I cannot say what the Supreme Court will do, no one can say, but I do not see how they could make any other holding in view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is certainly what may be expected from the Court, in view of the statement I just quoted from Justice Brennan, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State, and I spoke on them during the night, starting with Alabama, and covered every State, including Wyoming. I cited the law and the section of the code, including North Dakota and all the States. They all have laws to protect the right to vote. In a few minutes, I am going to cite a Federal section to show that there is a Federal law already on the subject; so, if a Federal law were desired on the subject, we already have one. I think it is a matter that ought to be left to the States, but if people disagree about that, and if it is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, we already have a statute on the subject. But this bill is a violation of the Constitution on the right to a jury trial question, regardless. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Would the Senator be kind enough to read the statutes in South Carolina and Mississippi, if he has them? Mr. THURMOND. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. I shall discuss them in a few minutes. I do not know of a single case having arisen in South Carolina in which a potential voter has charged that he has been deprived of his right to vote. Had such an instance occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. When I was Governor of South Carolina, on May 1, 1947, I recommended to the State legislature that it repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature took favorable action and submitted the question to a vote of the people at the next general election, which was in November 1948. The people voted favorably on the amendment, and then in January 1949, or early in 1949, the legislature ratified the action of the people. Our poll tax was eliminated as a prerequisite to voting. So we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. We have a school tax, but no one has to pay to vote. Moreover, registration is necessary only once every 10 years. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina—if proof is desired—can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia (S. C.) Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that: “Estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution which protect a citizen’s tight to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9. SUFFRAGE}}}} {{smaller block|The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10. ELECTIONS FREE AND OPEN}}}} {{smaller block|All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 5. APPEAL; CRIMES AGAINST ELECTION LAWS}}}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 8. REGISTRATION PROVIDED; ELECTIONS; BOARD OF REGISTRATION; BOOKS OF REGISTRATION}}}} {{smaller block|The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the first of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 15. RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE FREE}}}} {{smaller block|No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the {{sc|Record}} to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|SOUTH CAROLINA CODE—TITLE 23}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–73. APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF REGISTRATION}}}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–74. PROCEEDINGS IN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS}}}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–75. FURTHER APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT}}}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make.}} I do not know of any other State which gives this protection. {{smaller block|If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} The supreme court will be called together to hear one man’s case on appeal. What more can we do than that? We have, first, the board of registration; next the court of common pleas, and then the supreme court. The supreme court will hold an extra session, if necessary, to hear the appeal, and even if there is only one man who feels that he has been disenfranchised, or disqualified, for any reason, to receive a registration certificate. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–100. RIGHT TO VOTE}}}} {{smaller block|No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct. But if the name of any registered elector does not appear or incorrectly appears on the registration books of his polling precinct he shall, nevertheless, be entitled to vote upon the production and presentation to the managers of election of such precinct, in addition to his registration certificate, of a certificate of the clerk of the court of common pleas of his county that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in such clerk’s office or a certificate of the secretary of state that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in the office of the secretary of state.}} In other words, if he loses his certificate, or has any trouble with the board—the books are filed there—if his name is on the book, the clerk will give him a certificate. If it is not there, he can even go to the secretary of state at Columbia, if there is any local prejudice or other trouble. He can go to the State capital, and obtain a certificate from the secretary of state. That is the protection we give. We have some others. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–349.

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. A little while ago the distinguished Senator said that he had before him the election laws of all 48 States. Mr. THURMOND. That is true. Mr. LANGER. Are not the laws of South Carolina more liberal than those of other States? Mr. THURMOND. I think they are more liberal with respect to voting. I think we have gone further than have most of the other States. We repealed the poll-tax requirement. We have given every opportunity to everyone to vote. I do not know of anyone in my State today who is denied the right to vote if he wishes to vote. Our requirements are not too severe. The only requirement is that the voter must be able to read or write the Constitution. The Constitution was used in order to have reference to some document. Anyone who can read and write can read the Constitution as well as he can read anything else. Or if he cannot do that, he must own $300 worth of property. If he meets either requirement, he can vote. Mr. LANGER. The Senator stated that there was a Federal law in this connection. Mr. THURMOND. Yes. Mr. LANGER. May we have the Federal statute read? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has just asked me about the Federal law on the books with regard to voting. I should like to have the Senator from North Dakota and other Senators hear this. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Case}}] and other Senators to listen to the statute I am about to read. Last night I made the point that every State in the Union has laws on this subject. Of course, if the Senator from South Dakota has already made up his mind, I do not wish to take his time. Will he give me his attention for just a moment? Mr. CASE of South Dakota. The Senator from South Dakota is listening. Mr. THURMOND. I do not wish to take the Senator’s time if his mind is made up. But if his mind is open, I want him to hear this. I made the statement last night that every State in the Nation has statutes to protect the right to vote. I called upon the Library of Congress to compile those statutes, and I read them into the {{sc|Record}}. They will be found in my speech. Starting with Alabama and going through Wyoming, every State has laws protecting the right to vote. But some people say that we need Federal laws. I do not believe many people know that we have Federal statutes on the subject. For some reason or other they must have overlooked them. I wish to read the Federal law at this time to show that there is a Federal law on the statute books. It is designated as section 594 of chapter 29, title 18, of Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. It reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|594. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS}}}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the Office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} If anyone intimidates, threatens, or coerces another with respect to voting, or with respect to how he wishes to vote, or for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote, or to vote for whomever he chooses, there is a Federal statute under which a Federal judge can send him to jail for 1 year, or fine him $1,000. There is already a Federal statute on the subject. So why pass the bill coming from the House, or any other bill to provide the right to vote? The statute which I have just read is a criminal statute. It enables the Federal Government, if it wishes to protect the right to vote, to protect any man’s right to vote, because it can put a man in jail for as long as 1 year, or fine him $1,000 if he interferes with the right of anyone to vote. The only difference is that this is a criminal statute, and if a man were prosecuted under this statute he would get a jury trial. If we believe in the Constitution and in jury trials, we want to preserve that right anyway. The Constitution is clear on the question of jury trials. Article III., section 2, is specific on it. The Bill of Rights contains several references to it. The sixth amendment, in the Bill of Rights, is directly to the point. I have before me a decision—I do not know whether the Senator heard it or not—which upholds the contention that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man is entitled to a trial by jury under the Constitution of the United States if he is charged with criminal contempt. If there have been complaints to the Federal Government in any State of the Nation about people not being allowed to vote, why has not the Justice Department taken action under the statute to which I have just referred, and put offenders behind bars or fined them if they interfered with the right of other people to vote? The Federal Government has the power to do it. It is not necessary for it to have more power. The accused should have a jury trial. This is a free country. The mere fact that a jury returns a verdict which one of the parties may not like is no excuse for abolishing the jury trial. Either the Federal Government is not doing its duty in protecting people who have complained to it that they could not vote for one reason or another, or that voting has been interfered with for one reason or another, and has not given the proper protection to those people who complained to it, or there have been no complaints. If there have been any complaints, it was the duty of the Department of Justice to take action, and they could take action under the statute I have cited. There is no use beating about the bush and saying there is a duty to pass a right to vote bill. There is such a law on the statute books. Every State in the Union has such a law. The United States Code contains a provision protecting the right to vote. Let the Attorney General enforce this statute I have cited. If he has received any complaint from South Carolina about any man not voting, or has received a complaint from any other State, it is his duty to take action under the statute, and see that the one who interferes is punished. He can be put in jail for a year or fined $1,000. Mr. President, I am merely desiring to call this to the attention of Senators who are in the Chamber at this time, because so many of them do not seem to understand that we now have a Federal law on the books, section 594, which provides for the protection of voting rights. I do not know how it could be made any stronger. The Senator from North Dakota was asking about the South Carolina statute. I read from the statutes: {{smaller block|After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–656. PROCURING OR OFFERING TO PROCURE VOTES BY THREAT}}}} {{smaller block|At or before every election, general, special, or primary, any person who shall, by threats or any other form of intimidation, procure or offer or promise to endeavor to procure another to vote for or against any particular candidate in such election shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500 or be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than 1 month nor more than 6 months, or both by such fine and such imprisonment, in the discretion of the court.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–657.

All offenses against the provisions of this section shall be heard, tried, and determined before the court of general sessions after indictment.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–659.

Does not the Senator from North Dakota think those provisions add to the protection of voters? Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator be kind enough to repeat the Federal statute? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am particularly interested in where the Federal statute states that one can be both fined and imprisoned. Mr. THURMOND. It says “or both.” {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} But such person can get a jury trial, though. In other words, that is just another crime. It is like when a man is charged with murder or any other crime. He will have a jury trial. If he is found guilty, then the judge can sentence him to $1,000 or 1 year in prison, or both. That is a strong statute. Mr. LANGER. I want to thank the distinguished Senator for bringing that to the attention of the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is entirely welcome. I think it is a statute that a good many people may have overlooked. There has been so much talk about the right to vote and people not having the right to vote protected until I thought the Senate and the people of the Nation ought to know that not only every State has laws protecting the right to vote, but the Federal Government also has on the statute books a statute protecting the right to vote. As I stated, that is section 594, of chapter 29, title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be glad to yield to my distinguished friend. Mr. LANGER. For a question? Mr. THURMOND. For a question. Mr. LANGER. Have there been any decisions by the South Carolina Supreme Court on any of the statutes which the distinguished Senator has read? Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall offhand that any cases have gone to the supreme court. In our State everybody registers and votes who wants to, and I guess that is probably the reason there have been no cases taken to the supreme court. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, prove there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right to vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an {{SIC|unsual|unusual}} grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and non-political, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I should like to have the Senator hear this. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people, to involve neighbor against neighbor. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others, to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make the testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate, before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A civil-rights division in the Justice Department is not needed, because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed; in fact, he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved and since there is no indication that conditions will change—unless the Attorney General and the Civil-Rights Commission create trouble—there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of a Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Part III. of the bill, as originally written—which was completely obnoxious—was removed. I have several times stated my views on part IV. I object to its grant of dictatorial power to the Attorney General. The Congress should never agree to place such authority in the hands of any one official of the Government. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which reads as follows: {{smaller block|(d) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. As I understand, in the case of the existing section 594, during all these years the Attorney General of the United States has had the power to enforce that section, and he has had the assistance of the United States attorneys in every State of the Union, and they have had the help of their assistants; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. In some of the States there are eastern districts, northern districts, southern districts, and western districts—for instance, as in the case of New York; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That also is correct. Mr. LANGER. And each of those districts has United States attorneys and assistant United States attorneys and United States marshals; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. So all the necessary machinery for the enforcement of section 594, to protect the voting right of any citizen of the United States who may have had his voting right denied, has been in existence all during this period of time; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. Can the distinguished Senator from South Carolina name a single case in which the Attorney General of the United States has tried to enforce any of these statutes? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator, I will say that I do not know about the situation in other States; but as for the situation in my own State, I have not heard of such a case. However, I can see why that would be; I can understand why probably there would not be any such cases in South Carolina. That is because anyone in South Carolina who wishes to register to vote, has no trouble doing so. But I have not heard that any cases of this sort have been brought in other States. Such cases may have been brought in other States, but I have not heard of any. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I wish to ask what additional power the Attorney General will have, if a new Assistant Attorney General is appointed, inasmuch as the Attorney General already has the help of other Assistant Attorneys General and the help of United States attorneys, whose appointments have to be approved by the Senate; they cannot be appointed until the Congress has consented to the appointments. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question asked by the Senator from North Dakota, I would say that I see no need for an additional Assistant Attorney General—who, if appointed, would receive a large salary. I see no need for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, because the Department of Justice already has a civil-rights section; and there has been no evidence of any need for a big division, similar to the one now proposed to be created. I think the establishment of such a division would simply mean the payment of more salaries and a larger Federal payroll and more taxes on the backs of the American people. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In other words, there has never been a time when, under present law, the Department of Justice could not have presented a case of that sort before a grand jury, if the Department had wished to do so; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. If there had been any complaint in either North Dakota or South Carolina, let us say, to the effect that someone had not been able to vote, although he was eligible to vote, all the Department of Justice would have had to do would have been to have the United States attorneys in those States look into the matter and take whatever action would have been appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his questions. Mr. President, a moment ago I read the provisions of section 131(d). It simply means that the district courts can, under that provision, bypass the State procedures, the administrative remedies under the State laws, and can take action, and thus can cause much tension, embarrassment, and trouble although it is not necessary to do so. If anyone cannot obtain justice through the administrative remedies of his State, then of course he will be able to go to the district attorneys, and they can prosecute under the Federal statute I have just read. But the use of the existing remedies under the State laws should first be required—which is the usual procedure one would follow. No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States should not be exhausted prior to having Federal district courts take jurisdiction in cases of election-law violations. In other words, I believe in letting the States run their business, if they will. A Federal statute already is in existence; and if there is need to use it, it can be used. But why not let the States handle the matter of voting and the other matters which are reserved to them under the Constitution? Let the States handle them. Then, if the States fail to do so or if they fall down in the performance of their duty, section 594 is in existence, and it can be used as a hammer with which they can be clubbed to death, if need be. The present proposal could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority, and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 spoke strongly on behalf of the Federal courts, during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. That is the point I made just a few minutes ago. I shall not go into further details with reference to the provisions of this part of the bill, but I am just as strongly opposed to it as I was when it was first introduced. I shall continue to oppose such grants of power to the Attorney General or to any other official. Mr. President, I based my opposition to H. R. 6127 throughout its consideration in the Senate on three principal points. I am convinced the bill is unconstitutional in several respects which I have cited. I know that it is unnecessary because the right to vote is fully protected in every State and under the laws of the United States where applicable. Finally, I know that the enactment of such legislation is extremely unwise. It is unwise because the sure result of passing this bill would be to destroy a great deal of the good feeling existing between the white and the Negro races, not only in the South but in every community where a substantial number of Negroes live. Nothing would be gained, but much would be lost. The Civil Rights Commission, by using its powers to attempt to force integration of the races, is bound to create suspicion and tension between the races to an even greater degree than the suspicion and tension which was created by the 1954 Supreme Court decision in the school segregation cases. Unbiased persons who are familiar with the segregation problem, and who observed the detrimental result of the Supreme Court decision, know that a traveling investigation commission and a meddling Attorney General could bring about chaos in racial relations. The chaos would not be confined to the South because the provisions of this bill will apply to every citizen in every State. However, the Attorney General, in exercising the discretion granted him, along with the extraordinary powers also granted him, must be expected to confine his investigations and his court actions to the States of the South. The South has often been derided and condemned on charges of sectionalism, but if the advocates of this legislation believe they will create greater unity instead of greater division in this country by the enactment of this bill, they are entirely mistaken. George Washington in his Farewell Address used his strongest language against those who would divide our country and urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern, Atlantic, and western—whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} H. R. 6127 is a blueprint for suspicion, confusion, and disunity. The laws of the Nation are dependent upon the customs and traditions of the people. Unless law is based upon the will of the people, it will not meet with acceptance. Government in this country derives no power except the power coming from the people. Laws which are not based on the Constitution, which is the basic statement of the will of the people, cannot be justified on any ground. Mr. President, when there is so much evidence that this bill is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unwise, it should never be approved. Force may subjugate the human body, but force by itself can never change the human mind. Laws, like leaders, must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. H. R. 6127 fails to measure up by any standard. It should be rejected. I appeal to every Member of this body who believes in constitutional government and the sovereignty of the people to vote against this bill. Mr. President, this bill, as I have stated before, has been widely called a right-to-vote bill. That is a completely misleading term. The bill, as I have stated, in my opinion, is unnecessary, because we have laws in every State to protect the right to vote. We have laws by the Federal Government to protect the right to vote. In the sections I have cited, a man can be punished severely for any interference with the right to vote. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}} yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas and other Senators, who requested the transaction of certain business, all of which appears in the {{sc|Record}} following Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, we have the finest Nation in the world. We have the finest Government in the world. In 1787 our forefathers met in Philadelphia and wrote a document called the Constitution. It was simply a compact between the States. Our forefathers came to this country to get away from tyranny. They had been punished many times without juries. They had been denied the right to worship as they pleased. They have been denied the right of freedom of speech. They had been denied the right of assemblage. They had been denied the right to petition the government, and they had been denied many other rights which we take as a commonplace in this country. They came here to enjoy the benefits of the Government they would establish to provide them those rights. After the States operating as colonies for a while felt the need of a central government for purposes of national defense, for purposes of commerce, for purposes of postal service, trade, and other reasons, they decided to form a union. They met in Philadelphia in 1787, and with deputies from all the 13 States attending that conferential meeting, all except Rhode Island—at that time Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals and ignored the whole proceeding—all with the exception of that one State, had deputies at the Constitutional Convention. They wrote a document to delegate certain of their powers—there were States before there was a Federal union, of course—to the Federal Government for the purpose of forming a union and a central government which could do certain things for the States better than they themselves could do them. At that convention there was a very difficult situation. The delegates had to start from scratch, so to speak, to write the basic law for a new nation. Much discussion and debate occurred there, but after working together for several months in Philadelphia they finally arrived at a document, or a compact, which was signed by the representatives of the States, delegating certain powers to the Central Government. Three of the delegates attending the convention were not pleased, and did not sign it. I believe I stated this morning who they were. They were George Mason, of Virginia; John Randolph, of Virginia; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. The other delegates signed their names, except one, who left, but had his friend sign it. The document was then presented to the States for ratification. Within due time ratification was had, but there was considerable opposition at the convention, and when the question of ratification arose, the main objection which was raised was that there was not spelled out in the Constitution a bill of rights. Some of the most powerful leaders in the States opposed ratification for that reason. Those who did not sign in Philadelphia opposed it chiefly, I understand, for that reason. The Bill of Rights is a document which we cherish. The Bill of Rights is the finest civil-rights bill in the world. The Bill of Rights is a genuine civil-rights bill. That document provides us with the fundamental civil rights which we enjoy in this country today. One of the bases of the Bill of Rights—and I like to call it the heart of the Bill of Rights—is the right of trial by jury. In the Bill of Rights, the sixth amendment is a trial-by-jury amendment. It provides specifically that any person charged with a crime shall be tried by a jury. I have previously brought out today that criminal contempt is a crime, and therefore, since it is a crime, a person charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. The bill which passed the House is a compromise, as most legislation is. Some people may have felt that that was the best the House and Senate could do, because the conferees got together and reconciled the differences between the two Houses. Ordinarily that principle would be sound in connection with legislation, but it is not sound here, because the effect of the so-called compromise would be to violate the Constitution of the United States. If the so-called compromise had provided that a judge, in his discretion, could try a man for criminal contempt, I would have opposed it just as much if no punishment whatever were involved, because the Constitution says that a man is entitled to a trial by jury when he is prosecuted for a crime. There is no discretion in the Constitution. There is no ''proviso'' in the Constitution. There is no exception in the Constitution. The Constitution is perfectly clear on that point. If the punishment provided in the bill in the House had called for 1 day’s imprisonment, or a fine of $1, I would be just as bitterly opposed to it. The Constitution of the United States provides that if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to a jury trial. Under the decision which I have cited here twice today, I believe, holding that criminal contempt is a crime, it is clear that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I do not believe that the compromise amendment is valid. I do not think it is constitutional. The amendment of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] delineated and defined civil contempt and criminal contempt, and provided that civil contempt proceedings were for the purpose of bringing about compliance, in which case the order would be issued prior to the act, and that criminal contempt proceedings were to punish, in which case the order would be issued after the act. If the House had accepted it, the American people would be guaranteed trial by jury in the event of a charge of criminal contempt, which is a crime. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield to me for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to ask the Senator if I understood him correctly to say that in his opinion the so-called jury-trial provision of the bill which has been returned to us by the House is invalid and unconstitutional? Mr. THURMOND. That is my opinion. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to say to the Senator from South Carolina that I completely agree with that opinion. It is impossible to govern the right of trial by jury by the discretion of the judge, according to the penalty he conceives he intends to inflict. I should like to ask the Senator another question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the distinguished Senator. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he agrees with me that the question of jury trial should be reexamined as soon as conveniently possible, and that I would be doing a wise thing if, when the new session of Congress assembles, I should introduce a repetition of the general jury-trial amendment, firm in the belief that the advocates of civil rights, upon examination of the pretended amendment which has come to us from the House, will discover that they have bought a pigeon instead of a swallow. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question, I will say that I agree with him that the bill should be reexamined; but I think the reexamination should take place before Congress passes the bill, and not wait until next January. Mr. O’MAHONEY. If the Senator will permit me to make this comment—will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND: I will yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I shall frame it in the form of a question. Does not the Senator agree that we are all weary and worn down; that most of us are almost as tired as is the Senator himself; and that perhaps when we return in January in the full vigor of our bodies and minds we shall be able to do a better job than we can do at this session of the Congress? I am going to introduce a jury-trial amendment in the next session in the firm belief that this jury-trial amendment accomplishes nothing; that it does not at all help the advocates of civil rights. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question I will say that I have been on my feet for the past 17 hours, and I still feel pretty good. But I agree that it has been a long, tough session. But even though it has been a long, tough session, I do not think we ought to quit now and pass a bill that the Senator and I both feel is unconstitutional. I think we should refer it to the committee, which I tried to do the other night, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. But I think this bill should not be passed at this session. I believe the Senator would prefer that it not be passed; but if it is passed, of course I should be delighted to have the Senator offer an amendment to correct the unconstitutional portion of it when we return in January. But I really do not see why we should have to pass an unconstitutional piece of legislation if we can avoid it. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for another question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. This question is a little different from the one I asked before. I am wondering if the Senator from South Carolina would cooperate with me in enabling me to pass a bill which does not involve any constitutional question. The Senate passed the bill without any opposition at all, and the House has returned it to the Senate with an amendment. I should like to move that the House amendment be concurred in by the Senate, and thus get the bill disposed of. Mr. THURMOND. If the Senator will ask unanimous consent for me to yield to him on condition that I can retain the floor, and, further, that I shall not be charged with a second speech when I resume the discussion of the present subject— The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Wyoming ask unanimous consent based on those conditions? Mr. O’MAHONEY. I do, Mr. President. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator from Wyoming this question: This is not a civil-rights bill, as I understand, is it? Mr. O’MAHONEY. No; it is not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Wyoming? The Chair hears none. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Mr. O’Mahoney, the “Approval of Contract with the Casper–Alcova Irrigation District, Wyoming,” is dealt with, as is a “Message from the House” and the “Enrolled Bills and Joint Resolution Signed.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina may proceed. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was speaking a few moments ago about the States and the Federal Government. I should like to remind the people of this country that we had States before we had a union, and that the only power the Federal Government had and the only power the Union had was the power delegated by the States in Philadelphia in 1787 and in the amendments to the Constitution since that time. All other powers which have not been delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States or to the people. I think the bill which is under consideration is unconstitutional. I think it is invalid. I think we are doing a useless thing. The proponents of the bill who feel that they are helping people, in my judgment, are going to find that there is just a lot of lost motion involved, because I do not believe the Supreme Court will hold this bill constitutional. I do not see how it could hold it constitutional. This compromise bill which came from the House leaves it entirely up to a Federal judge to say whether or not he is going to give a man a jury trial. That is not what our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. This bill provides that a judge shall decide whether he will grant a jury trial. Suppose he decides he will not grant a jury trial and then tries the defendant. Suppose he decides that the man ought to be imprisoned for more than 45 days or should pay a fine of more than $300. Then the case must be tried all over again. That is another reason why I think the bill is unconstitutional. When we once try a man we put him in double jeopardy by trying him again. So I think we are doing a useless thing here to pass a bill to provide that a judge can try a man and then, if he imposes above a certain sentence, the man can ask for a jury trial and then a jury can try the man. He would be tried twice. That is not only unconstitutional, it is also unfair, because if a judge tries the man himself and fines him more than $300 or sentence him to be imprisoned more than 45 days, then there is a trial ''de novo'', as they call it. But the judge’s finding of guilt is bound to influence the jury when the jury tries him a second time. It is my opinion that the man can plead double jeopardy. The distinguished Presiding Officer was a distinguished judge in Texas. Any lawyer knows that we cannot try a man more than once for the same offense. The bill coming from the House would allow the man to be tried twice. Mr. President, I want the American people to know what they are getting in this bill. They are getting a bill under which a judge can try a man and a jury can then try the same man. It is unconstitutional, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think it is extremely unfair, because the judge has already expressed his opinion, and if he is the judge who tries the case a second time he would be bound to show his feelings during the trial. Even if he did not show his feelings during the trial, in my opinion, his feelings would enter into the sentence after the trial. Mr. President, there are many things in this bill. I am not against civil rights, and I am not against voting. As I have said, the finest civil rights are those in the Bill of Rights. I am for genuine civil rights, not this so-called political civil rights. Both national parties that are pushing civil rights bills, this right to vote and other bills, are not doing it because they love the Negro. The southern white man does more for the Negro than any other man in any part of the country. This bill is motivated purely by politics. It is a political bill. We might as well face the facts as they are. Both parties are trying to play to get the Negro vote, and, in some States, if the Negroes vote as a bloc, which they should not do, they are herded to the polls like sheep and voted. If they vote as individual citizens, which they should, this would not occur. But for some reason, both parties think that they are going to vote as a bloc. I do not know how a few leaders do it, or just how it is done. But it is unfortunate, and it is unfair to the Negro, because it takes him out of the category of an individual. It takes away his dignity. It takes away his sanctity as an individual, in which he can take pride in himself, his accomplishments and his race and not be led around like a bull with a ring in his nose. But that is the feeling of both parties in this country. They think they can vote the Negroes in a bloc, and they are making this play on these civil rights bills, so-called. They are not civil rights bills. They are so-called civil rights bills. The politicians are pushing these so-called civil rights bills to make a play and try to get the vote of the Negroes in certain doubtful States. I have some good friends who are Negroes. I have helped many of them. I have represented them in lawsuits. I have loaned them money. I value the friendship of many Negroes, and I hate to see them treated like they are being treated. I hope that their real leaders, their genuine leaders, who are sincerely interested in them, will wake up some day and inform the members of their race just what is going on. Mr. President, there is no need in the world to pass this bill. In the wee hours last night, when most Senators were sleeping, I was here talking, and after I had the Library of Congress, Legislative Section, prepare for me, and I put into the {{sc|Record}} at that time, statutes which provide voting rights in all the States of the Nation. The {{sc|Congressional Record}} of last night contains those statutes of all the States from Alabama to Wyoming. In every one of the States of the Nation there are statutes that protect the right to vote. There is not a single one of the 48 States that does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. Why does the Federal Government have to have this bill passed? Is it not practically an insult to the States? It is. “We need it. The States will not enforce their laws?” If that be the case, all the Government has to do is to enforce the Federal statute I referred to today. Title 18, section 594, is the number of that Federal statute, which provides punishment for anyone who intimidates, coerces, or threatens any person for interfering with any other person in voting. That statute is as clear as a crystal. It provides for a fine of $1,000, or punishment of 1 year in prison, for anyone who interferes with the right of another citizen to vote. So, if there is anybody in this country today who is prevented from voting, all he has to do is to report it to the district attorney in his State, of if he prefers, to write the Justice Department. He can take that course, and action can be taken under that statute which is already on the books. Why put another statute on the books? Why put another statute which the Supreme Court will very probably hold to be unconstitutional? I do not know what the Supreme Court will hold. I do not like to take any chances with the Supreme Court. At any rate, the Constitution of the United States is clear, the wording is simple. Any seventh-grade child can read article III., section 2, of the Constitution of the United States and see that any citizen charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. He can also read the sixth amendment to the Constitution, one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and see that any man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It is very difficult to understand why the Congress, which is supposed to be composed of the brightest intellects in the country, or some of the brightest intellects, would pass a bill of this kind. Yet, if the Congress passes such a bill, this so-called compromise bill on voting rights, it will certainly amaze me if the Supreme Court does not hold it to be unconstitutional. I shall be badly disappointed if the Congress passes it. Of course, under the pressure of different organizations, left-wing organization, ADA and NAACP, both parties are dancing like jitterbugs on the civil-rights question, because they want to carry the doubtful States where the Negroes, although only a small percentage, if they vote in a bloc, can swing a State. I think it will be a great pity if the Congress passes this bill. I hate to see it pass such an unnecessary bill. It seems to me that every Representative in Congress and every Senator is practically insulting his home State if he votes for this bill. He is practically saying to the governor of his State and the legislators of his State, “Although you have bills to protect voting rights, we have no confidence in you, and although we have one Federal law, we are going to pass another Federal law, and ram it down your throats whether or not you want it.” I think it is almost an insult to the States. I suggest that they write the governors and see how many of them want this bill passed. I am wondering how many Senators in this body and how many House members have checked with the governors to find out if they want this unconstitutional monstrosity passed by the Congress. I do not believe 10 percent of the governors of the Nation would say, “We are weaklings, and we want you to pass a strong civil-rights bill because we do not have the courage to do it. We do not have the courage to protect our people.” As a matter of fact, Mr. President, the States already have laws on that subject, and I have read them into the {{sc|Record}}. The voting-rights statutes of the States have been read into the {{sc|Congressional Record}}, in the case of every State of the Union. Those who read the {{sc|Congressional Record}} will find them set forth there. Mr. President, if any Senator, on either side of the aisle, can state why it is necessary to enact another Federal law to protect the right to vote, I should like to have him do so, provided I am able to yield for that purpose without losing the floor and without having the remarks I make after yielding for that purpose counted as a second speech by me. I challenge any Senator on either side of the aisle to answer this question: Why is another Federal law needed in order to protect the right to vote, when there is already on the statute books section 594, which reads, in part, as follows: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose.}} In other words, one who intimidates, threatens, or coerces a voter, or even attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce him, may, under the provisions of this statute, be prosecuted. He may be prosecuted, not only if his purpose is to interfere with the right of such other person to vote, but also if his purpose is to interfere as to the person for whom such other person may wish to vote. Mr. President, are there teeth in this statute? There certainly are. This statute provides that anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, or attempts to interfere with his voting for whomever he wishes to vote for, can be prosecuted in a Federal court and can be fined $1,000 or sentenced to a prison term of 1 year. Do not those provisions constitute teeth and strength in the existing law? Of course they do. If there is in the United States, today, any person who is having any trouble in exercising his voting right, again I say that all he has to do is contact the Department of Justice or the district attorney in his home State, and action can be taken under this Federal law to punish any person who interferes with his right to vote. Inasmuch as section 594 is an existing Federal statute on that subject, why is it necessary to enact another Federal statute dealing with the right to vote? It would be absolutely useless, unnecessary, and futile to enact another Federal statute on that subject; it would be a great mistake to do so, especially in view of the fact that such a statute would be unconstitutional. Mr. President, please understand that I do not even concede that the Federal Government has a right to enter this field. Instead, I believe that these matters should be handled by the respective States. However, the Federal Government is already in this field—under the provisions of section 594, by means of which a person can be fined as much as $1,000 or put in jail for as long as one year, if her tries to interfere with the right of someone else to vote. Since the Federal Government already is in this field, why should another Federal law on the same subject be enacted? Mr. President, every day that passes, the Federal Government, here in Washington, D. C., is whittling away the rights of the States. It hurts me to see the Federal Government invade fields which are reserved to the States. I deeply regret that a bigger and more powerful Federal Government is being built up in Washington, D. C. This Central Government has become tremendously top-heavy. I should like to see the States have more power. Since World War II., the Communists have taken over approximately 17 countries. In doing so, they did not invade by means of troops using bayonets and tanks; those countries were not taken over in that way by the Communists. Instead, the Communists proceeded by way of infiltration. Poland was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Poles. Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Czechs. China was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Chinese. The Communists have been able to infiltrate into the central governments; they have been able to worm their way into the police systems, and then into the election systems. Then, before one could realize it, the countries were taken over by the Communists. Mr. President, why have the Communists been able to take over those countries? Since the end of World War II., they have been able to take over 17 countries, with populations totaling between 600 million and 800 million. The Communists have been able to do that because each of those countries has had a strong central government; and when the Communists obtained control of that central government, they were able to take over control of the entire country. Mr. President, the more we in the United States build up power in a strong central government, the more risk we run from the standpoint of subversive activities and infiltration. If the people of the United States have the vision to keep the 48 States strong—each with its own election laws and its own police system—there will be no way by means of which the United States can be taken over by subversion. But if more and more power is given to our Central Government, after a while the States will be nothing but territories, and will not have any power. Mr. President, the so-called civil-rights bill which the Congress is about to pass would simply take power a way from the States and would give it to the Federal Government. A Senator might say, “I should vote for the bill because it will help me in the elections.” Mr. President, Senators had better begin to think more about the welfare and safety of their country, and less about the elections. Mr. President, I am convinced that we must protect the States. The Constitution now protects them; but the Supreme Court and the Congress and the executive branch of the Government have been taking steps—by handing down decisions, passing laws, and issuing regulations and edicts—which violate the rights of the States and take away from the States the power they have. Mr. President, this development cannot continue to occur, if our country is to be safe. I am disturbed for the safety of my country. I am a brigadier general in the Army Reserve and if our country becomes engaged in an armed conflict, I am ready to serve. But we must keep our country stronger, or we shall find it engaged in conflict. One of the ways to weaken it is to weaken the States, as we are doing today, and to keep taking away the powers of the States and building up a powerful Central Government in Washington. It is the greatest mistake in the world. It was not contemplated when our Constitution was written. Our forefathers decided they would delegate a few powers to the Federal Government, and they spelled them out in the Constitution. All one has to do is to get the Constitution and read it. It spells out just what powers the Congress has, what powers the Federal Government has, but all other powers are reserved to the States and to the people thereof. At the rate we are going now, we will not have any States after a while. The Federal Government will have all the power. Mr. President, some time ago I read a book by a man by the name of James Jackson Kilpatrick, of Richmond, Va., printed by the Henry Regner Co., of Chicago, entitled “The Sovereign States.” I wish every American could read this book. I am going to read some excerpts from it today. I should like to have Senators listen to some of the passages in this book. This man is a great writer, a true patriot, and a great American. First, I am going to read a passage by John C. Calhoun, one of the five all-time great Senators, recently selected to have his portrait placed in the Senate reception room. John C. Calhoun, I think, is one of the greatest men this country has produced. I nominated him to be selected to have his portrait placed here, and I am proud the committee selected it. He was a man who had keen vision and a proper conception of the Constitution. There is one page in the beginning of the book by him that I want to read; it is very short. This is what he says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|The great and leading principle is, that the General Government emanated from the people of the several States, forming distinct political communities, and acting in their separate and sovereign capacity, and not from all of the people forming one aggregate political community; that the Constitution of the United States is, in fact, a compact, to which each State is a party, in the character already described; and that the several States, or parties, have a right to judge of its infractions; and in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of power not delegated, they have the right, in the last resort, to use the language of the Virginia resolutions, “to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining, within their respective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.”}} {{smaller block|This right of interposition, thus solemnly asserted by the State of Virginia, be it called what it may—state right, veto, nullification, or by any other name—I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions.}} {{right|{{sm|{{sc|John C. Calhoun}}}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Fort Hill}}, ''July 26, 1831''}}.|1em}} This was John C. Calhoun. He wrote that at Fort Hill, and if any Senators want to know where it is, it is at Simpson College. In fact, his home was at the college. Mr. President, my statement was that Fort Hill is at Simpson College in South Carolina. Of course, that is the greatest college in the United States. This book on the sovereign State was written, as I have said, by James J. Kilpatrick. First, I want to take up his introduction, and then I want to present some excerpts from the book: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Introduction}}}}}} {{smaller block|Among the more melancholy aspects of the genteel world we live in is a slow decline in the enjoyment that men once found in the combat of ideas, free and unrestrained. Competition of any sort, indeed, seems to be regarded these days, in our schools and elsewhere, as somehow not in very good taste. Under the curious doctrines of the Fair Trade Act, vigorous salesmanship is unfair, and retailers are enjoined against discommoding their fellows. Mr. Stevenson’s criticism of the administration’s foreign policy, during the last presidential campaign, was not that the policies were so very wrong: they were not bipartisan. With a few robust exceptions, our writers paint in pastels; our political scholars write a sort of ruffled-sleeve, harpsichord prose. We duel with soft pillows, or with buttoned foils; our ideas have lace on them; we are importuned to steer, with moderation, down the middle of the road.}} {{smaller block|These chamber music proprieties I acknowledge, simply to say, now, that the essay which follows should not be misunderstood.

Rather, my intention is to plead that the process of consolidation first be halted, then reversed, toward the end that our Federal Government may be strictly limited to its constitutional functions and the States may again be encouraged to look after their own affairs, for good or ill.}} {{smaller block|A long time ago, the geometric mind of Edmund Pendleton offered a theorem. The State and Federal Governments, he said, must follow the path of parallel lines. Others have conceived the relationship in terms of spheres, separate but touching. The idea, when all this began, was that neither authority would encroach upon the other; and in the beginning, it was more feared that the States would usurp Federal powers than the other way around.}} {{smaller block|Now the rights and powers of the States are being obliterated. The encroachments of the Federal Government have widened its road to a highway and narrowed the road of the States to a footpath. Having deceptively added a dimension to the Federal line, the broad constructionists declare their faithful adherence to the plans of the original draftsmen. Soon, a geometry unknown to Pendleton can proclaim the apparent miracle of parallels that meet this side of infinity.}} {{smaller block|I do not know that the sovereign powers of the States may be regained at all. Justice Salmon P. Chase once remarked, with great satisfaction, that State sovereignty died at Appomattox. But I do most earnestly believe that an effort must be made to regain these powers. The alternative is for American Government to grow steadily more centralized, steadily more remote from the people, steadily more monolithic and despotic.}} {{smaller block|Only the States themselves can make the effort; which is to say, only the people of the States. Only if the citizens of Virginia, as Virginians; or of Texas, as Texans; or of Iowa, as Iowans, insist upon a strict obedience to the spirit of the 10th amendment, can the Federal juggernaut be slowed. Only if the people evidence a determination once more to do for themselves can the essential vitality of a responsible and resourceful society be restored.}} {{smaller block|I do not despair. So long as the I-beams and rafters of the Constitution remain undisturbed, the ravages of Federal encroachment may be repaired. A latent yearning for personal liberty, an inherited resentment against the authoritarian state, a drowsing spirit of independence—these may yet be awakened.}} {{smaller block|But again, the States, as States, will have to do it.}} {{smaller block|It will not be easy.

The place of the States scarcely had been fixed, it will be submitted, before advocates of consolidation began to whittle it down—first in the ''Chisholm'' case, which led to the 11th amendment, and more memorably in the Alien and Sedition Acts, which led to the “Doctrine of ’98” and the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of that year. It is proposed to follow this doctrine of the States’ “right to interpose,” in its various forms and applications down through the years, with particular emphasis upon the dangers of judicial encroachment and the need for State resistance against it. Finally, I have in mind to marshal some of the evidence which supports the case for the South in its immediate conflict with Federal authority, and to review other recent events that seem to me usurpations of the States’ reserved powers.}} {{smaller block|So much, then for the plan of this book. The political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall will not care much for it.}} {{right|{{sm|J. J. K}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Richmond, Va.}}, ''September 1956''.|1em}} That was the introduction to the book The Sovereign States, by James J. Kilpatrick. James J. Kilpatrick is one of the greatest editors in the Nation today. I will read certain excerpts from the book, beginning on page 3. First I will read a quotation opposite page 3: {{smaller block|The States within the limitations of their powers not granted, or, in the language of the 10th amendment, “reserved,” are as independent of the General Government as the General Government, within its sphere, is independent of the States. (Justice Samuel Nelson, ''Collector'' v. ''Day'' (1871).)}} Mr. Kilpatrick has done a fine job and rendered a great service to this country in writing this book: {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to here yield to the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, for a question. Mr. LONG. Did I correctly understand the Senator to make the statement that, according to the preface or introduction to the book, the book would be displeasing to those who agreed with Alexander Hamilton, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, the forerunner of the American Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. The editor said that the political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall would not care much for the book. Alexander Hamilton was a great American, but his philosophy was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. They were both great Americans, but Alexander Hamilton believed more in the theory of a strong Central Government, with the power residing in Washington. Thomas Jefferson’s idea was that the power should remain with the States, and that only so much power should be given to the Federal Government as was necessary to perform its functions as delineated in the Constitution. The Senator has probably read many books about Hamilton. In one of such books his philosophy is described in this way: {{smaller block|Speaking of education, Alexander Hamilton’s thought was to select some of the brightest young men and educate them, to make them leaders. Thomas Jefferaon’s philosophy was to give all an opportunity, and let the leaders rise where they would.}} So, when Kilpatrick wrote this statement I am confident that he was contrasting the philosophy of Hamilton more or less with that of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton was a very able man, one of the greatest Americans this country has produced; but his philosophy, as the Senator well knows from studying his life and history, was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it the view of the Senator that Alexander Hamilton would ever for a moment have approved of any proposal whereby an American accused of a crime would have been denied the right to present his case before a jury of impartial people who would hear the case, judge the evidence, and find him guilty or innocent? Mr. THURMOND. In reply, I will say no. I think Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both would have approved of trial by jury. They were both delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and they both rendered magnificent service in many ways. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, if the Senator will further yield, I believe he will find that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, did the Senator yield for a question or a statemen? Mr. LONG. The Senator yielded for a question. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the Senator from Louisiana for a question. The Senator is correct about Thomas Jefferson. I had in mind Madison. Mr. LONG. Does not the Senator realize that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention? The Senator is perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the convention which adopted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. Is not, the Senator perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of those who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson was the American Ambassador to France at the time the Constitution was drafted. Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Thomas Jefferson was Ambassador to France, but Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York State, and he signed the Constitution. In fact, he was the only delegate from New York State who signed the Constitution. When I spoke a few minutes ago about Jefferson, I was thinking about Madison. Madison signed the Constitution, as did Blair. Both were from Virginia. George Washington presided over the Convention. Mr. LONG. Is there any doubt in the Senator’s mind that, so far as Alexander Hamilton was concerned, he would never for a moment have contested the right of any citizen to be tried before a jury if he were accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I agree. If he had taken any other position, he would not have signed the Constitution. As I have stated, Alexander Hamilton was the only delegate from the State of New York who signed the Constitution as representing the State of New York. In the original Constitution, article III, section 2, provided for jury trial. Mr. LONG. Is it not, therefore, true that insofar as the right of a citizen to be tried by jury for a crime is concerned, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would have agreed 100 percent that the freedoms guaranteed Americans under their form of government included the right to be tried by a jury of their own neighbors, in the area where the crime was committed, in the event they were accused of committing a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I can yield only for a question. I shall be glad to express myself after the Senator has concluded. Let the Senator ask any question he wishes. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to state that, although the book from which the Senator is reading may not reflect the views of Alexander Hamilton, it is nevertheless correct to state that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would both have agreed that anyone accused of a crime should have the right to be tried before a jury of his neighbors? Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree. In my judgment, if Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were living today, and both were Members of the Senate, both would be fighting for the right to a jury trial, as provided in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to say that so far as we can determine there has never been a man who served in this body, and who was regarded as a great statesman, who has ever at any time advocated that American citizens should be denied their right to be tried by a jury in the event they were accused of committing a crime against the United States or against a State? Mr. THURMOND. I think the able Senator is eminently correct. I do not know of a great man in our history, any man whom I would consider great, whose name is on the lips of the people—I cannot think of a single one in our history who would take a position in opposition to jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Scott}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from Louisiana? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to paraphrase more or less the words of Shakespeare, that those American politicians who have fought against the freedom of Americans to be tried by a jury when accused of a crime have been politicians who more or less strutted and strutted their brief hour on the stage to be heard from no more? Mr. THURMOND. I do not think any man who takes a stand against giving a person a jury trial will be long remembered after he has gone or when his record is searched and it is found that he opposed a jury trial. I think we would immediately call for a reappraisal of his whole life in the event he had been considered a great man previous to that time. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that men like George Norris, William Borah, and Robert M. La Follette, who fought through the years for the right of trial by jury, have statues standing in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. In fact, there is a quotation from George Norris which I read last night. If I can put my hand on it I should like to read it to the Senator from Louisiana. I have never read a stronger statement in behalf of a jury trial. He said that in all cases a man should have a jury trial. The distinguished Senator from Virginia [Mr. {{sc|Byrd}}] and the distinguished Senator from Mississippi [Mr. {{sc|Eastland}}] and I introduced a bill in March to provide the very type of jury trial which Senator Norris recommended. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. The Senator from South Carolina having made a great study of all these matters involving jury trials, the freedom of Americans, and States rights, can he now name from memory a single one of those Senators who made a fight down through the years to deny American citizens of the right of trial by jury? Mr. THURMOND. I could not name a single man whom I considered a great man or a great Senator who opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator recall the names of any Americans who have served in this body and who have made a fight against the right of a man accused of a crime to be tried by a jury? Can the Senator offhand recall the name of any such person? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot recall the name of any American of any stature within my recollection who has opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator Borah’s statue is just outside the main entrance of the Senate Chamber, immediately outside the door? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. I see it every time I go through the door. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator William E. Borah, a great constitutional lawyer, even though he came from a very small Western State, population considered, was seriously considered by the Republican Party as its nominee for the Presidency of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. I have been told that. I did not know the Senator personally; only through reputation. But I know he was a great American. He declared on April 8, 1930: {{smaller block|I am not contending here that labor organizations can at any time employ threats, force, or violence or intimidation. They must keep within the law—}} He was referring there to jury trials in labor cases. I have a long report including a speech by Senator Norris on May 2, 1930. I read it last night— Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question at that point? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that those who oppose the right of jury trials are basically those who do not believe in the freedoms that Americans enjoy under the Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. I certainly agree with the Senator. I think the jury trial is one of the greatest freedoms we have. I look upon it as the heart of the Bill of Rights. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? MT. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that persons who fear that juries may not convict guilty persons are those who really have very little confidence in the determination of people to uphold free government? Mr. THURMOND. It seems to me they could not have much confidence in human nature; otherwise they would favor jury trials. To be tried by a man’s neighbors, his peers, his fellow men, is the fairest way a man could be tried. I sat on the bench for 8 years and tried many cases, but I always felt much better about it when a jury passed on the question. I watched closely the verdicts of juries. I was deeply impressed. I feel that juries come nearer to meting out justice to criminals than it can be done in any other way. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Recognizing the fact that it is possible for a jury to turn a guilty person free, is it not also true that the freedoms which Americans enjoy under their Constitution were calculated in such fashion as to express the philosophy that it is better to turn 9 guilty men free than to send 1 innocent man to the penitentiary or to his death? Mr. THURMOND. I never did go on the theory of nine guilty ones being turned loose. There is no doubt that there is a common saying to that effect. If I had to make a decision as to whether I would turn 9 guilty ones loose, or put 1 innocent man in prison, I would turn the 9 loose. I think that would be the thinking and the feeling of the average American. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Does not this logic become conclusively clear when we contemplate for a moment a capital punishment case where it is possible to put an innocent man to death? In such a situation, would it not be better for the court to turn 9 culprits loose rather than to kill 1 innocent man? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. There is no question about it. Some juries make mistakes. Anybody in any kind of work makes mistakes. Everybody has weaknesses and there are bound to be errors. Judges make mistakes. Of course, often a judge’s philosophy is different. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that anyone can make mistakes, is it not somewhat better that the scales of justice should be weighted a little in favor of finding a person innocent when there is a considerable doubt as to whether the person is innocent or guilty? Mr. THURMOND. Our law is based on the presumption that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a common legal principle that any lawyer knows about who has practiced any criminal law. I do not know precisely what the Senator had in mind on that, though, for this reason: I do not think if a man is given a jury trial, a jury necessarily lets him go free. I think a jury is going to do what it thinks is right unless it is biased, or has been approached in some way, or influenced in some way. Of course, that happens sometimes. It does not happen often, but I think it does happen sometimes. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Can the Senator imagine a judge who issues an order ordering the entire world to comply with his injunction as being as fair and impartial as a jury before which a case involving a violation of his order should be tried? Mr. THURMOND. When a judge hears a contempt case he is the legislator, he is the prosecutor, he is the judge, and he is the jury. If I were a judge and if such a law as is here proposed were on the books, if I were back on the bench, and if I had to act under this type law, I would submit it to the jury anyway. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that it is contemplated that a judge makes a law by issuing the injunction and then cites the individuals whom he cares to cite, can the Senator think of anything any more inappropriate than the judge who makes the law, addressed to individuals, should be the same person to try the same individuals for violating his own order? Does the Senator not believe that any judge worthy of the name would at least want to have a jury to prove that justice is being done to people who violated his own order? Mr. THURMOND. I think the Senator is eminently correct. It is unfortunate that a judge who issues an order of contempt has to try the case, because he has already made up his mind to a certain degree. Of course, that might be removed. But still he has made up his mind, or he would not issue the order. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that a person who is responsible for issuing the edict and commanding people to do certain things at his discretion should be the last person to make the final decision on who should be punished for not obeying his order? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. In fact, this is known as injunction-made law. That is what it is. It is injunction-made law, and it is bad law. It is much better to have a jury trial. That is the American way of doing things. That is one of the grievances complained of by those who signed the Declaration of Independence, as I have brought out, namely, that in a great many cases they were denied jury trials. Provisions for jury trial are embodied in several places in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so there is no question about the whole intent of our judicial system. Our administration of justice has been based upon jury trials. I think it is one of the most fundamental principles embodied in our type of government. If this so-called compromise amendment were to go a little bit further, it would sound more like a Communist amendment. I do not believe I read what Senator Norris said about jury trial. He said: {{smaller block|I wonder if a suffering people, whose forefathers fought for liberty, are going to give up the idea of it in this day and age, in this civilized day, and are going to submit to injunction-made law.}} He was wondering whether they were going to submit to it. {{c|{{x-smaller|1. THE BEGINNINGS}}}} {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} {{smaller block|This was on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, June 12, 1788, in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill in Richmond. The Virginia Convention had been grappling for 10 days with the new Constitution, and Edmund Pendleton, aging and crippled, had been sitting in dignified silence for as long as he could stand it. Patrick Henry, who was a hard man to live with at any time, was being especially difficult. Once before, on the 5th, Pendleton bad attempted to soothe him, but Henry was not to be soothed.}} {{smaller block|The State and Federal Governments would be at war with one another, Henry had predicted, and the State governments ultimately would be destroyed and consolidated into the General Government. One by one their powers would be snatched from them. A rapacious Federal authority, ever seeking to expand its grasp, could not be confined by the States.}} {{smaller block|“Notwithstanding what the worthy gentleman said,” remarked Mr. Pendleton with some warmth, for there were times when he regarded Mr. Henry as neither worthy nor a gentleman. “I believe I am still correct, and insist that, if each power is confined within its proper bounds, and to its proper objects, an interference can never happen. Being for two different purposes, as long as they are limited to the different objects, they can no more clash than two parallel lines can meet. * * *”}} {{smaller block|They were big ifs that Edmund Pendleton, a judicious man, here used as qualifications. If the State and Federal Governments were each confined within its proper bounds, be said, the clash could never come. But the Federal Government could not be kept confined, even as Henry feared, and the clash did come. It continues to this day. Mr. Pendleton’s geometry was fine, but his powers of prophecy (for be believed that each government could be kept in check) were sadly in error.}} {{smaller block|To understand how the parallel lines of State and Federal powers have turned awry, it is necessary to look back at the period before these lines were drawn. The acts of ratification by Virginia and her neighbors were acts of sovereign States. At stake was their consent to a written constitution. How, it may be inquired, did they come to be sovereign States? What is this concept of State sovereignty?}} {{smaller block|It would be possible, in any such review, to go back to the great roots of Runnymede, but it will suffice to begin much later, in the turbulent summer of 1776. The startling commitments of Lexington and Concord were behind us then; the bitter trials of White Plains, Vincennes, Camden, and Yorktown still lay ahead. March and April and May had passed—a time of bringing forth of newness, of fresh hope—and great human events had run their course. Now, in June, a resurgent people made the solemn decision to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another. Thus Jefferson’s draft began, thus the Continental Congress adopted it at Philadelphia; from this moment Americans unborn were to date the years of their independence.}} {{smaller block|The eloquent beginning of the Declaration—the assertion of truths self-evident and rights beyond alienation—is well known: It is a towering irony that Jefferson, whose convictions were cemented in the inequality of man, should have his precise phrase corrupted by the levelers of a bulldozer society. The Declaration’s beginning is too much recited and too little read.}} {{smaller block|What counts, for our present purpose, is not the first paragraph, but the last. Let us inquire, What, precisely, was it that we declared ourselves to be that Fourth of July? Hitherto there had been colonies subject to the King. That form of government would now be abolished. We would now solemnly publish and declare to a candid world—what? That the people of the colonies had formed a free and independent nation? By no means. Or that they were henceforth a free and independent people? Still no.}} {{smaller block|This was the declaration: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Not one State, or one Nation, but in the plural—States; and again, in the next breath, so this multiple birth could not be misunderstood, “that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.”}} {{smaller block|It had opened, this Declaration, as an enunciation of what often are termed the “human rights,” but it concluded, in the plainest terms, as a pronouncement of political powers—the political powers of newly created States. And these powers of war and peace, these powers of alliance and commerce, were published not as the powers of a national government, but as powers henceforth asserted by 13 free and independent states.}} {{smaller block|To be sure, the States were united. Their representatives styled themselves Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, but it was not the spokesmen of a nation who gathered in parliament. These were States in Congress. “One out of many,” it is said. In a sense, yes. But the many remained—separate States, individual entities, each possessed, from that moment, of sovereign rights and powers.}} {{smaller block|Certainly Jefferson so understood our creation. “The several States,” he was to write much later, “were, from their first establishment, separate and distinct societies, dependent on no other society of men whatever.”}} {{smaller block|So Mr. Justice Samuel Chase comprehended it: He considered the Declaration of Independence, “as a declaration, not that the United Colonies Jointly, in a collective capacity, were independent States, etc., but that each of them was a sovereign and independent State, that is, that each of them had a right to govern itself by its own authority, and its own laws without any control from any other power on earth.” From the Fourth of July, said Chase, “the American States were ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' in the possession and actual exercise of all the rights of independent governments. * * * I have ever considered it as the established doctrine of the United States, that their independence originated from, and commenced with, the declaration of Congress, on the Fourth of July 1776; and that no other period can be fixed on for its commencement; and that all laws made by the legislatures of the several States, after the Declaration of Independence, were the laws of sovereign and independent governments.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, the sage and cool-minded Mr. Justice Cushing: “The several States which composed this Union * * * became entitled, from the time when they declared themselves independent, to all the rights and powers of sovereign States.”}} {{smaller block|Even Marshall himself had no doubts: In the beginning, “we were divided into independent States, united for some purposes, but in most respects sovereign.” The lines which separate the States, he later remarked, were too clear ever to be misunderstood.}} {{smaller block|And for a contemporary authority, it is necessary only to turn to Mr. Justice Frankfurter, who some years ago fell to discussing the dual powers of taxation preserved under the Constitution: “The States,” he said, “after they formed the Union”—not the people, but the States, “continued to have the same range of taxing power which they had before, barring only duties affecting exports, imports, and on tonnage.” Regrettably, Mr. Justice Frankfurter appears in more recent times to have lost his concept of States forming a Union.}} {{smaller block|It is no matter. Evidence of the States’ individual sovereignty is abundantly available. Consider for example, the powers asserted on the part of each State in the Declaration “to levy War, conclude Peace, and contract Alliances.” Surely these are sovereign powers. The States exercised them, as States, in the Revolutionary War. But it is of value to note that New York also very nearly exercised her war powers to enter into formal hostilities with the State of Vermont. Tensions reached so grave a point that Massachusetts, in 1784, felt compelled to adopt a formal resolution of neutrality, enjoining her citizens to give “no aid or assistance to either party,” and to send “no provisions, arms, or ammunition or other necessities to a fortress or garrison” besieged by either belligerent. When New York adopted a resolution avowing her readiness to “ecur to force,”" Vermont’s Governor Chittenden (whose son was to be heard from 30 years later in another row) observed that Vermont “does not wish to enter into a war with the State of New York.” But should this unhappy contingency result, Vermont “expects that Congress and the 12 States will observe a strict neutrality, and let the contending States settle their own controversy.”}} {{smaller block|They did settle it, of course. New York and Vermont concluded a peace. The point is that no one saw anything especially remarkable in two separate sovereignties arraying themselves against each other. Vermont was then an individual political entity, as remote at law as any France or Italy. And New York, though a member of the Confederation, and hence technically required to obtain the consent of Congress before waging war, had every right to maintain a standing army for her own defense.}} {{smaller block|The status of the individual States as separate sovereign powers was recognized on higher authority than the proclamations of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is worth our while to keep in mind the first article of the treaty of September 3, 1783, by which the war of the Revolution came to an end:}} {{smaller block|“His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign, and independent States; that he treats with them as such.”}} {{smaller block|More than 5 years earlier, a treaty of amity and commerce with France had established the same sovereign status of the contracting parties. Louis XVI. treated with the 13 American States, but he recognized each of them as a separate power. And it is interesting to note that Virginia, feeling some action desirable to complete the treaty, prior to action by Congress, on June 4, 1779, undertook solemnly to ratify this treaty with France on her own. By appropriate resolution, transmitted by Governor Jefferson to the French minister at Philadelphia, the sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia declared herself individually bound by the French treaty. In terms of international law, Virginia was a nation; in terms of domestic law, she was a sovereign State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|2. THE STATE}}}} {{smaller block|To review the process by which the colonies became States is not necessarily to answer the basic question, What is a State? It is a troublesome word. The standard definition is that a State is “a political body, or body politic; any body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one government, especially one that is not subject to external control.” Chief Justice Chase, in ''Texas'' v. ''White'', put it this way: “A State, in the ordinary sense of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed.” In the Cherokee case, John Marshall described a State as “a distinct political society, separated from others, capable of managing its own affairs and governing itself.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, variously, a State is defined as a body, a community, and a distinct society. Plainly, mere boundary lines are not enough; a tract of waste and uninhabited land cannot constitute a State. Nor are people, as such, sufficient to constitute a State. James Brown Scott once offered this clear and succinct definition:}} {{smaller block|“The State is an artificial person, representing and controlled by its members, but not synonymous or identical with them. Created for a political purpose, it is a body politic. It is a distinct body, an artificial person; it has a will distinct from its members, although its exercise is controlled by them; it has rights and duties distinct from its members, but subject to being changed by them; it may hold property distinct from its members, but in trust for them; it may act separately and distinctly from them and bind them by its acts, but only insofar as it is authorized by the law of its creation, and subject to being changed by the source of that power.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the State is seen as a continuing political being, controlled by its citizens and yet controlling them. The State can be bound in ways that its own people cannot be bound; it can exercise powers that no citizen or group of citizens may exercise for themselves. The State may buy, sell, hold, grant, convey; it may tax and spend; it may sue, and if it consent, be sued; it exists to create law and to execute law, to punish crime, administer justice, regulate commerce, enter into compacts with other States. Yet there is no State until a community of human beings create a State; and no State may exist without the will and the power of human beings to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|It is this combination of will and power which lies at the essence of the State in being. This is sovereignty. In the crisp phrase of John Taylor, of Caroline, sovereignty is “the will to enact, the power to execute.” Long books have been written on the nature of sovereignty, but they boil down to those necessities: The will to make, the power to unmake.}} {{smaller block|It was this power, this will, that the people as States claimed for themselves in 1776. Henceforth, they said, we are sovereign: The State government is not sovereign, nor is any citizen by himself sovereign. By the “sovereign State” we mean us citizens, the State; we collectively, within our established boundaries; this community of people; we alone who are possessed of the power to create or to abandon.}} {{smaller block|God knows it was a great, a priceless, power these people as Stat es claimed for themselves. True, not everyone saw it that way. Mr. Justice Story, for one, never grasped the concept of States. Nor did Jackson. Albert J. Beveridge, in his biography of Marshall, refers sneeringly to the States as “these pompous sovereignties,” but in a way, Beveridge’s is perhaps a high acknowledgment of the simple truth: These infant States were sovereignties, and the people within them were proudly jealous of the fact. They saw themselves, in Blackstone’s phrase, “a supreme, irresistible, absolute, uncontrolled authority.” This, among other things, was the aim they had fought for. It cannot be imagined that they ever would have relinquished this high power of sovereignty except in the most explicit terms.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|3. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION}}}} {{smaller block|In time, the Continental Congress gave way to the Articles of Confederation. The articles merit examination with the utmost care; they are too little studied, and there is much to be learned from them.}} {{smaller block|First proposed in 1778, the articles became binding upon all the States with Maryland’s ratification in 1781. Throughout this period, as the war ran on, each of the States was individually sovereign, each wholly autonomous. Mr. Justice Iredell was to observe, in 1795, that had the individual States decided not to unite together, each would have gone its own way, because each “possessed all the powers of sovereignty, internal and external * * * as completely as any of the ancient kingdoms or republics of the world which never yet had formed, or thought of forming, any sort of Federal union whatever.”}} {{smaller block|But they did form a Federal union—a “perpetual union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.” They styled themselves, “The United States of America,” and in the very second article of their compact, they put this down so no one might miss it:}} {{smaller block|“Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”}} {{smaller block|The third article is almost equally brief, and may be quoted in less space than would be required to summarize it:}} {{smaller block|“The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.”}} {{smaller block|There will be seen, in these opening paragraphs, the genesis of constitutional provisions that were to follow in less than a decade. Here is the forerunner of the 10th amendment, with its reservation of undelegated powers to the State or to the people; here are the aims set forth of “common defense” and the “general welfare.”}} {{smaller block|The fourth article advanced other phrases that have come down to us: The free inhabitants of each State (“paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice excepted”) were to be entitled to “all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” Here, too, one finds the provision, later to be inserted substantially verbatim in article IV. of the Constitution of 1787, providing for the extradition of fugitives. Here the States mutually agreed that “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth article provided for representation of the States in Congress. There were to be no less than 2, no more than 7 delegates from each State. They would assemble on the first Monday in November of every year. In this Congress, each State cast one vote; each State paid the salary and maintenance of its own delegates. These provisions, of course, were later abandoned; but we may note that the fifth article prohibited delegates to the Congress from “holding any office under the United States for which he or another for his benefit receives any salary, fees, or emolument of any kind,” and also provided that “freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress.” Both provisions were to turn up later in article I., section 6, of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The sixth and seventh articles dealt generally with limitations upon the States in terms of foreign affairs and the waging of war. Again, many a familiar phrase leaps from this much-maligned compact of Confederation. No State, nor the Congress, was to grant a title of nobility; no two or more States were to enter into any treaty, confederation, or alliance without the consent of the other States in Congress assembled; no State was to keep vessels of war in time of peace (“except such number as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled”), nor was any State to engaged in war without the consent of Congress “unless such State be actually invaded by enemies, or * * * the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay * * *.”}} {{smaller block|The eighth article provided for defraying the expenses of war among the State “in proportion to the value of all land within each State,” and the ninth article dealt with the powers of Congress. Once more, the origin of a dozen specific phrases in our present Constitution is evident. Congress was given the “sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war.” It was to enter into treaties and alliances, establish certain courts, fix standard weights and measures, and establish post offices. But the Congress alone could do almost none of these things—it could exercise no important power—without the consent of nine of the member States.}} {{smaller block|The remaining 4 articles are of less interest and concern, although it may be noted that in 3 places, the framers of the Articles of Confederation provided that their union was a permanent union. The articles were to be inviolably observed by the States the delegates respectively represented, “and the union shall be perpetual.”}} {{c|{{x-smaller|4. WE, THE PEOPLE}}}} {{smaller block|Of course, it wasn’t perpetual at all. Before 6 years had elapsed, the States came to recognize grave defects in the Articles of Confederation. And because they were sovereign States—because they had the will to enact and the power to execute, because they who had made could unmake—they set out to do the job again.}} {{smaller block|What they made, this time, was the Constitution of the United States. So much has been {{SIC|writen|written}} of the deliberations that summer of 1787 in Philadelphia—so many critics have examined every word of the great document which came forth—that probably no new light can be shed upon it here. Yet the constitutions of most States command their citizens to recur frequently to fundamental principles and the commandment is too valuable an admonition to be passed by. There is much of interest to be found if one examines the Constitution, the debates and the commentaries of the time, in terms of the relationship there established between the States and the new Federal Government they formed.}} {{smaller block|It may be inquired, was sovereignty here surrendered in whole or in part? What powers were delegated, what powers retained?}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I do not want the Senator to strain his voice, but I do have some responsibilities as minority leader. I do not think the Senator is making any motion, but I should at least like to know what is going on in the Senate Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield for a question if the Senator has a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. My question is, Would the Senator speak up? I do not want him to strain his voice, but I should like him to speak a little louder so I shall be sure no motions are being made or anything of that sort. I do have some responsibility here. Mr. THURMOND. I suggest that the Senator move closer to me. Mr. KNOWLAND. Under the rules of the Senate, which are now being strictly enforced, both Senators being in their respective seats, and this happening to be my seat as the minority leader, I urge my request of the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. We might get unanimous consent to allow the Senator to come closer to me if he wishes. I do not think my colleagues will raise any point. There is an excellent seat here, I may say to the Senator. Mr. KNOWLAND. I am very well satisfied with the seat to which I am assigned. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I continue to read: {{smaller block|What were the functions to be performed by the States in the future? Was it ever intended that the States should be reduced to the weakling role thrust upon them in our own time? We must inquire whether this proud possession of State sovereignty, so eloquently proclaimed in 1776, so resolutely affirmed in the articles of 1781, so clearly recognized in the events of the time, somehow vanished, died, turned to dust, totally ceased to exist in the period of the next 6 years.}} {{smaller block|Now, the argument here advanced is this—it is the argument of John Taylor of Caroline and John Randolph of Roanoke—that sovereignty, like chastity, cannot be surrendered in part. This was the argument also of Calhoun: “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” This was the position, too, of the bellicose George Troup of Georgia, of Alexander H. Stephens, of Jefferson Davis. It is the position of plain commonsense: Supreme and ultimate power must be precisely that. Finality knows no degrees. In law, as in mountain climbing, there comes a point at which the pinnacle is reached; nothing higher or greater remains. And so it is with the States of the American Union. In the last resort, it is their prerogative alone (not that of Congress, not that of the Supreme Court, not that of the whole people) to make or unmake our fundamental law. The argument here is that the States, in forming a new perpetual union to replace their old perpetual union, remained in essence what they had been before: Separate, free, and independent States. They surrendered nothing to the Federal Government they created. Some of their powers they delegated; all of their sovereignty they retained.}} {{smaller block|It is keenly important that this distinction be understood. There is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign power. The power to coin money, or to levy taxes, is a sovereign power, but it is not sovereignty. Powers can be delegated, limited, expanded, or withdrawn, but it is through the exercise of sovereignty that these changes take place. Sovereignty is the moving river, sovereign powers the stone at the mill. Only while the river flows can the inanimate stone revolve. To be sure, sovereignty can be lost—it can be lost by conquest, as in war; the extent or character of sovereignty can be changed, as in the acquisition or relinquishment of territory or the annexation of new peoples; sovereignty can be divided, when two States are created of one. But properly viewed, sovereignty is cause; sovereign powers, the effect: The wind that blows; the branches that move. Sovereignty is the essence, the life spirit, the soul: And in this Republic, sovereignty remains today where it was vested in 1776, in the people. But in the people as a whole? No. In the people as States.}} {{smaller block|The delusion that sovereignty is vested in the whole people of the United States is one of the strangest misconceptions of our public life. This hallucination has been encouraged, if not directly espoused, by such eminent figures as Marshall, Story, and Andrew Jackson. It is still embraced by excessively literal and unthinking fellows who read “we the people” in the preamble to the Constitution, and cry triumphantly, “that means everybody.” It does not; it never did.}} {{smaller block|The preamble to the abandoned Articles of Confederation, it was noted, declared the articles “binding between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York,” and so forth. The preamble offered by the Convention of 1787, reads:}} {{smaller block|“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”}} {{smaller block|The opening few words were questioned repeatedly by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention of 1788. He kept asking querulously, what was meant by “we the people,” but he got no very satisfactory answer for his pains. Governor Randolph ducked the question, and Pendleton missed the point. Pendleton asked, rhetorically, “who but the people have a right to form government?” and the answer, obviously, in America, is “no one.” Then Pendleton said this:}} {{smaller block|“If the objection be, that the Union ought to be not of the people, but of the State governments, then I think the choice of the former very happy and proper. What have the State governments to do with it?”}} {{smaller block|Again, the obvious answer is, “The State governments have nothing to do with it,” but that was not the question Henry asked. There is a plain distinction between “we the States” and “we the State governments,” for States endure while governments fall. It was Madison who came closest to answering the insistent Henry. Who are the parties to the Constitution? The people, said Madison, to be sure, are the parties to it, but “not the people as composing one great body.” Rather, it is “the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” And he added:}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina when he was a judge in South Carolina? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair cannot hear. Will the Senator speak a little louder? Mr. THURMOND. From 1938 to 1946, 8 years. Mr. LANGER. The Senator was a circuit judge, was he not? Mr. THURMOND. Yes; in the highest trial court in the State. About half that time I was in the Army, overseas. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Continuing to quote from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|“Were it * * * a consolidated government, the assent of a majority of the people would be sufficient for its establishment; and, as a majority have adopted it already, we remaining States would be bound by the act of the majority, even if they unanimously reprobated it * * * But, sir, no State is bound by it, as it is, without its own consent.”}} {{smaller block|Col. Henry Lee took the same point of view in responding to Patrick Henry. Lighthorse Harry spoke as other proponents of the Constitution did, in irritation and perplexity. He could not comprehend why Henry’s question should even be asked. Obviously, the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble—the “we the people” there and then engaged in ratifying the Constitution—were we “the people of Virginia.” If the people of Virginia “do not adopt it, it will always be null and void as to us.”}} {{smaller block|Here Lee touched and tossed aside what doubtless was so clear to others that they could not understand what Henry was quibbling about. Of course, “we the people” meant what Madison and Lee found so obvious: It meant “we the people of the States.” Why argue the point? “I take this,” said Randolph testily, “to be one of the least and most trivial objections that will be made to the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|The self-evident fact, as plain as the buttons on their coats, was that the whole people, the mass of people from Georgia to New Hampshire, obviously had nothing to do with the ratification of the Constitution. The basic charter of our Union never was submitted to popular referendum, taken simultaneously among the 3 million inhabitants of the country on some Tuesday in 1788. Ratification was achieved by the people of the States, acting in their sovereign capacity not as “Americans,” for there is no “State of America,” but in their sovereign capacity as citizens of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Georgia.}} {{smaller block|This was the sovereign power that sired the new Union, breathed upon it, gave it life—the power of the people of the States, acting as States, binding themselves as States, seeking to form a more perfect union not of people, but of States. And if it be inquired, as a matter of drafting, why the preamble of the Articles of Confederation spelled out 13 States and the preamble of the Constitution referred only to “we the people,” a simple, uncomplicated explanation may be advanced: The framers of the Constitution, in the summer of 1787, had no way of knowing how many States would assent to the compact.}} {{smaller block|Suppose they .had begun the preamble, as they thought of doing, “We the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island,” etc., and the State of Rhode Island had refused to ratify? It very nearly did. It was not until May 29, 1790, by a vote of 34 to 32, that Rhode Island agreed to join a union that actually had been created with New Hampshire’s ratification nearly 2 full years before. Given a switch of two votes, Rhode Island might have remained, to this day, as foreign to the United States (in terms of international law) as any Luxembourg or Switzerland.}} {{smaller block|Some of these forebodings clearly passed through the minds of the delegates at Philadelphia. When the preamble first appears in the notes, on August 6, it reads: “We the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,” etc., “do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution.” In that form it was tentatively approved on August 7. But the preamble, in that form, never is mentioned again. When the document came back from the Committee on Style in early September, the preamble had been amended to eliminate the spelled-out names of States, and to make it read simply that “we the people” ordain and establish. The change was not haggled over. No significance was attached to it. Why arouse antagonism in New York or North Carolina (where there was opposition enough already) by presuming to speak, in the preamble, as if it were unnecessary for New York or North Carolina even to debate the matter? The tactful and prudent thing was to name no States. Only the people as States could create the Union; only the people in ratifying States would be bound, as States, by its provisions.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|5. THE STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, that was the way the compact read. It bound States—“The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between”—between whom?—“between the States so ratifying the same.” Not among people; it was “between States.” And this proposal was put forward “by the unanimous consent,” not of delegates assembled or of people gathered, but by “the unanimous consent of the States present the 17th day of September in the year of our Lord 1787 * * *.”}} {{smaller block|On the plain evidence of the instrument itself, it is therefore clear: States consented to the drafting of the Constitution; States undertook to bind themselves by its provisions. If 9 States ratified, the Constitution would bind those 9; if 10, those 10. Rhode Island had not even attended the convention; “poor, despised Rhode Island,” as Patrick Henry later was to describe her, could stay aloof if she chose. There was no thought here of people in the mass. There was thought only of people as States, and while the new Constitution would of course act directly upon people—that was to be its revolutionary change—it would reach those people only because they first were people of States.}} {{smaller block|The one essential prerequisite was for the State, as a State, to ratify; then the people of the State would become themselves subject to the Constitution. No individual human being, in his own capacity, possibly could assent to the new compact or bind himself to its provisions. Only as a citizen of Virginia or Georgia or Massachusetts could he become a citizen also of the United States.}} {{smaller block|Madison recognized this. He acknowledged in his famed Federalist 39 that ratification of the Constitution must come from the people “not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.” “Each State,” he said, in ratifying the Constitution, “is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” This fact lay at the essence of the Federal Union being formed. The States, and within them their local governments, were to be “no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The jurisdiction of the Federal Government was to extend “to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.” Even the most casual reading of the Constitution, it may be submitted, abundantly supports Madison’s comment here.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield to the able Senator from North Dakota for a question. Mr. LANGER. I should like to ask whether at any time in the history of South Carolina the courts permitted a defendant to be tried without a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In South Carolina anyone who wishes a jury may have one. There are a few instances where both sides agree to be tried without a jury, by the court. But a defendant is entitled to a jury trial in my State, as is the case in other States which follow the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. In what year was South Carolina admitted to the Union? It was one of the original colonies, was it not? Mr. THURMOND. In 1789. It was the eighth State admitted to the Union. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further for a question? Mr: THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Even at that time in South Carolina a defendant had the right to a jury trial, did he not? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. That has been the law continuously up to the present time? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. A defendant in South Carolina is always entitled to a jury trial when charged with a crime. Mr. LANGER. Is that also true in North Carolina? Mr. THURMOND. I would not attempt to speak for North Carolina, but I feel quite certain that that is a fact. I believe nine States ratified the Constitution before North Carolina did. So North Carolina came in after the Union was formed. So did Rhode Island. Rhode Island was the only State that did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The reason for that was that Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals at that time and it did not send any deputies. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it true that in every State in the United States under our Constitution a defendant has the right to a trial by jury in a criminal case? Mr. THURMOND. In every State of the United States a defendant charged with a crime has the right of trial by jury. Some persons confuse magistrate courts or minor courts; but even there, although we may not see it, there is a jury box. Most persons, unless they are lawyers, do not know that defendants are entitled to a jury trial in those courts. There is a jury box hidden somewhere. Nine out of ten do not ask for a jury trial; that is, in cases where the punishment is a fine of $100 or 30 days. But even there if a man says “Wait a minute, Mr. Recorder; I want a trial before a jury,” it must be given to him. Mr. LANGER. That is true, for example, if a man is arrested and charged with spitting on the sidewalk or with stealing one cent? Mr. THURMOND. Any crime. Mr. LANGER. In other words, trial by jury is fundamental? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct; and rightly so, because that was one of the grievances pointed out a little earlier today that our forefathers listed in the Declaration of Independence. That was one grievance charged against the King, that in many cases persons had been denied trial by jury. That is written definitely into the Constitution. The right of trial by jury was included in several places in the Bill of Rights. The sixth amendment provides that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That was because our forefathers were taking no chances on not having a jury trial assured to them under the Constitution. In the seventh amendment it is provided, also, and there is another provision, I believe, in the fifth amendment, that a man must be indicted by a grand jury before he is tried. Under the bill that came from the House a grand jury will not pass on the question at all. Under this so-called compromise, a man is taken before a judge and is tried. He is not even asked if he wants a trial by a jury. But in the usual procedure, when the Constitution is followed, a man has to be indicted by a grand jury. In my State 18 grand jurors have to agree to a true bill before a man can be brought up for trial. He has a trial before a petit jury. In Federal courts a man can be indicted by a grand jury or on information, but in State courts a man is indicted by a grand jury. But in all the history of judicial administration in this country it has been clear that the American people have been entitled to a jury trial, and it goes back even further than the Declaration of Independence. It goes back to the Magna Carta, when the citizens of England wrung from King John in the year 1215, at Runnymede, certain rights for the people. I presume you and I, Mr. President, would call them civil rights, more or less, or corresponding to our Bill of Rights. But the people wrung from King John certain rights, and one of those rights was that a man charged with a crime would be entitled to a jury trial. So, going back to the year 1215, on down to this time, our people have had a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a further question. Mr. LANGER. Is it the opinion of the Senator from South Carolina that of all the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights the very heart and very core of the 10 amendments is the right of the defendant to be tried by a jury? Mr. THURMOND. All the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights are important, but I think the trial-by-jury provision as generally spoken of is the heart of the Bill of Rights. That is the importance attached to it. It is generally spoken of as the heart of the Bill of Rights. In other words, if there should be cut out of the Bill of Rights the right of a trial by jury you have cut the heart of the Bill of Rights out; it would be excised. What is it to have freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of the press or right to petition the Government or the right to assemble, all of which are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, or to keep troops from being quartered in our homes, or all the other things guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if some tyrant, whether a Federal district judge, or any other kind of tyrant, can take a man and himself try him without a jury and put him in prison; and, of course, if a man is in prison he cannot enjoy his civil rights? Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator. We have gotten down to the very core of this entire proposal. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate his deep interest in this matter. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota has manifested an unusual interest in the right of trial by jury. He has the vision to see the importance of trial by jury and to see how this proposed bill the House has passed is attempting to bypass the Constitution and in doing so, of course, is violating the Constitution and therefore is a bill the Congress ought to kill. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. For 4 years I was attorney general of my State. Mr. THURMOND. I understand the Senator made a very distinguished record as attorney general of the State of North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. During that time, of course, I had a great deal to do with juries. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure the Senator did. Mr. LANGER. And in every single case I submitted to a court a jury trial had been waived. Mr. THURMOND. Every case the Senator tried I imagine was before a jury. Mr. LANGER. That is correct. I should like to ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina whether in his experience in South Carolina it is true that the average defendant can get better justice from a jury than he can from a judge, no matter how honest and fair the judge may be? Mr. THURMOND. Regardless of how fair and impartial the judge is or wants to be, it is my judgment from my experience on the bench for 8 years—and as I said, for about half of that time I was in the Army during World War II.—and from my practice of law before then, since 1930 when I was admitted to the bar—and after I left the Governor’s office in January 1951, I practiced until I came to the Senate—I consider that juries give fair verdicts, and I think it would be destroying the administration of justice if we should take any step to hamper or injure or impair in any way the jury system of the United States. Mr. LANGER. Again I want to thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I read further: {{smaller block|But the Constitution ought not to be read casually. Viewed from the standpoint of State and Federal relations, what does the Constitution say and do? The rubrics do not demand, before an ordinary mortal may explore the question, that he be ordained a constitutional lawyer or put on the chasuble of the bench. Our Constitution is not the property of a juridical clergy only. The laity may read it too, and with equal acuity and understanding. The terms are not ambiguous.}} {{smaller block|The first thing to note, perhaps, is that the words “State” or “States” appear no fewer than 94 times, either as proper nouns or pronominals, in the brief 6,000 words of the original 7 articles. The one theme that runs steadily through the whole of the instrument is the knitting together of States: It is a union that is being formed, and while the people are concerned for themselves and their posterity, the Constitution is to be established binding States.}} {{smaller block|Legislative powers, to begin at the beginning, are vested not in one national parliament of the people, but in a Congress of the United States. The word “Congress” was chosen with precision; it repeated and confirmed the political relationship of the preceding 11 years, when there had been first a Continental Congress and then a Congress under the Articles of Confederation.}} {{smaller block|This Congress is to consist of two Houses. The first is the House of Representatives, whose Members are to be chosen “by the people of the several States.” And here, in the very second paragraph, the framers encountered and opportunity to choose between a “national” and a “federal” characteristic: They might have established uniform national qualifications for the franchise, but they did not. Electors qualified to vote for candidates for the House of Representatives are to have “the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned—how? “Among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers.” How is this enumeration to be determined? The provision should be noted with care, for it is the first of four clauses that speaks eloquently of the plural nature of our Union: “The actual enumeration shall be made within 3 years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.” Now, the antecedent of they is not “Congress,” but “United States.” Nowhere in the whole of the Constitution or in any of the subsequent amendments is the United States an “it.” The singular never appears.}} {{smaller block|What else sheds light in the second section of article I.? We find that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” whereupon follows a rollcall of the States themselves: “Until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse 3, Massachusetts 8,” and so forth. And when vacancies happen “in the representation from any State,” the Governor thereof is to issue a writ of election.}} {{smaller block|The dignity and sovereignty of States are made still more evident in the composition of the Senate. It is to be composed “of two Senators from each State,” and whereas Representatives are required to be inhabitants of the States “in which” they shall be chosen, Senators must be inhabitants of the States “for which” they shall be chosen.}} {{smaller block|It is in section 4 that the first grant of authority to the Federal Government appears: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but”—and here the qualified concession—“the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chusing Senators.”}} {{smaller block|The delegations of power to a federal government appear most fully, of course, in section 8, but it is worth noting that not all the powers delegated to Congress are exclusive and unqualified powers. Thus, the Congress may raise and support armies, “but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.” Thus, the Congress may provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of the militia as may be employed in the service of the United States, but there is reserved “to the States respectively” the appointment of officers and the authority to train their militia according to regulation established by Congress. Thus, too, Congress may exercise Federal authority over federally owned property within the States, but how is such property to be acquired? The authority of the Congress extends only to those places “purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be,” and this applies not only to military and naval installations but also to “other needful buildings.”}} {{smaller block|Several provisions in section 9 merit attention. As a concession to the slave trade—one of the essential compromises without which the Constitution never would have come into being at all—it was provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” shall not be prohibited prior to 1808. Then follow seven paragraphs of specific restrictions upon the powers of Congress. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended; no bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed; no direct tax shall be levied except according to the census of the people as a whole; no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported “from any State;” and—again emphasizing the separateness of the member States forming the Union—“no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue of the ports of one State over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.”}} {{smaller block|In section 10, the States undertook to restrict themselves. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; no State shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver legal tender; no State shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Yet even here, the prohibitions are not without qualification. Thus, the States reserved to themselves the right to levy tariffs on imports or exports sufficient to execute their inspection laws; and though the fact is often forgotten, the States even reserved to themselves the solemn power they had claimed under the Articles of Confederation, to “engage in war,” as States, if “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Ellender}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am very curious. I ask the Senator from South Carolina whether he knows how the House of Representatives arrived at the decision to provide for a maximum of 45 days and $300 in this instance. Why did not the House of Representatives decide to make the maximum number of days 50, and why did it not choose, as the maximum amount of fine, $250 or $500? Mr. THURMOND. I should like to answer the question the distinguished Senator asked, but I cannot do so. I was not consulted about this compromise. All I know about it is that I heard the majority leader made an announcement, following the taking of action in the House of Representatives. And then I read about it in the newspaper. But I had understood—and the distinguished Senator from California [Mr. {{sc|Knowland}}] can correct me about this if I am mistaken—that there was an effort on the part of the Republicans to provide for 60 days. But, since the Senate had not voted for any provision of this sort, but had voted only for a straight jury-trial provision, 45 days was selected as a compromise. That is my understanding of the matter. I pass on to the Senator from North Dakota only what I heard. But perhaps the Senator from California can answer the question. At any rate, even if 60 days had been originally proposed, and finally 45 days was decided on, the Senate got the worst end of the bargain. However, even if the provision had been for only 1 day, in my opinion the principle would be the same, because under the Constitution a citizen is entitled to a jury trial; and the Congress has no power to pass a law providing that a Federal judge or any other judge can deprive a citizen of a jury trial. However, under this proposal, a judge would be able, in two ways, to deprive a citizen of a jury trial. In the first place, the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to allow the person to have a jury trial in the first instance. If the judge decided that there could be a jury trial, the citizen would have a jury trial. If the judge decided that there would not be a jury trial, the judge himself would try the case. Next, if the judge decided to try the case himself, without a jury, the judge would proceed to try it. If, at the conclusion of the case, the judge were to determine that the punishment he would mete would be more than 45 days imprisonment or a fine of more than $300, the judge would then give the citizen another trial. In other words, this provision of the compromise would give the judge the option of trying the citizen in the first place, and it would give the judge the option of deciding how much punishment he would mete, and then the amount of punishment imposed would determine whether the citizen would receive still another trial. All those exceptions are entirely foreign to the Constitution. The Constitution provides that a man charged with the commission of a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That provision is as plain as can be. Any child in the fifth grade in school can read it and understand it; and there should not be any difficulty in understanding it. However, as I have understood in arriving at the compromise an attempt was made to get together on some provision; and the result was a monstrosity. It turned out to be an unconstitutional provision, in my opinion. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield again? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. What I should like to know is this: Is there any precedent, anywhere in the entire United States, for a measure such as this, by means of which a defendant could be tried by a judge, if the sentence imposed were imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or any other number of days, or the imposition of a fine of any size; but that if the term of imprisonment were longer or the amount of the fine were greater, there must be a jury trial? Can the Senator from South Carolina name any precedent at all for such a provision? Mr. THURMOND. I know of no place in the United States where a person charged with a crime does not have a jury trial. Even under the present criminal-contempt procedure, under existing law, if one is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no instance in any part of the United States, from Maine or the State of Washington on the north, to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or any of the other States in the southern part of the Nation, in which one who is charged with the commission of a crime does not have a trial by jury. It seems to me that in the conference, some one or more of the conferees should have raised the point, “This provision would be contrary to the Constitution, and we cannot include such a provision.” It seems to me some of the conferees would have suggested that the Constitution provides to the contrary. There is a decision which can be cited on that point; I think I have called it to the attention of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. The decision in that case holds that criminal contempt is a crime; and, since it is a crime, one charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. If there is to be passed a bill providing punishment for criminal contempt, it should provide for a jury trial. I know of no way to get around a jury trial in this matter because the Constitution has laid down the law. That is basic law. The Constitution can be amended. Congress can submit an amendment to it. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, and it can be amended so as to provide that a Federal judge in his discretion can give a man a jury trial. Then the compromise would be legal, and what it proposes would be effective. It would be. valid. As the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] said today, confirming my judgment, as it stands now it is not valid. I think it is unconstitutional. The Senator from Wyoming expressed his opinion likewise. We could amend the Constitution to provide for it. Congress could pass a law to provide that a Federal judge could punish a man for contempt, by so many days’ imprisonment, or by a fine of so many dollars. We could do that, but it has not been done. Until the Constitution is amended in the manner provided in the Constitution itself, we must abide by it. I know that many people in this country would like to get around the Constitution, and it looks as if they have been doing so. The Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution in some cases, and other branches of the Government at times have encroached upon the Constitution because there is divisional power between the Federal Government and the State governments. When we cross the line of the State government, as here, without constitutional authority, we violate the Constitution. The States entered into this pact, the Constitution, about which we are talking so much, and in this pact they delegated to the Union only certain things, and they are just as plain as they can be. They are listed in the Constitution. I should like to read to the distinguished Senator what the Constitution says on that point. Article I., section 1, provides: {{smaller block|All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.}} I will not take the time to go through all that. I will skip to the pertinent portions. Section 7 of article I. provides: {{smaller block|All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills.}} {{smaller block|Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds—}} I will skip to section 8. That is more pertinent. This is what the Congress has power to do. The powers are listed. {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.}} {{smaller block|To borrow money on credit of the United States;}} {{smaller block|To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.}} The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator suspend to receive a message from the President of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. Certainly. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Presiding Officer, the “Message from the President,” is dealt with, as is the “Executive Message Referred” and a “Message from the House.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to Senate amendments Nos. 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. I continue to read from article I., section 2: {{smaller block|To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.}} Congress would not have the power to pass bankruptcy laws, indeed Congress could not pass a law on any subject except for the power given to it by the Constitution. This provision I have read is the basis for our bankruptcy law. {{smaller block|To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.}} {{smaller block|To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States.}} {{smaller block|To establish post offices and post roads.}} That is your authority for the Federal Government to act in that field. {{smaller block|To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.}} {{smaller block|To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.}} That gives authority to Congress to establish certain courts of appeals and district courts. They are inferior tribunals, that is, inferior to the United States Supreme Court. {{smaller block|To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.}} {{smaller block|To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.}} {{smaller block|To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.}} But no appropriation of money for that purpose shall be for a longer term than 2 years. We cannot appropriate money for the Defense Establishment for more than 2 years because the Constitution limits it. If we should attempt to do that, we would go beyond the Constitution. I think that is a suggestion which may apply to foreign aid. If we should commit ourselves for 5 years or 10 years, I think that would be unconstitutional. But some of the defense items are classified under the term “foreign aid.” {{smaller block|To provide and maintain a Navy;}} {{smaller block|To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;}} {{smaller block|To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.}} {{smaller block|To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} I want to read that last part again. I wish to call attention to a point: {{smaller block|Reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} Do you not know, Mr. President, that if that section was not in the Constitution the Federal Government would be appointing the officers of the National Guard? That is the reason the Government cannot do it: the Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding 10 miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;}} For that reason the Federal Government cannot go to Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, or New Hampshire and buy a piece of land until the legislature passes an act approving such purchase. Under the provision the State must approve the transaction with respect to property within its borders, whether it owns the property or not, before the Federal Government can get it. Of course, the Government could condemn it; but if it followed the Constitution it would not be able to take it. The Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to year 1808, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding $10 for each person.}} {{smaller block|The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.}} Regardless of what a State wishes to do, the United States Constitution provides that a writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended unless—note the exception—“unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” {{smaller block|No bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed.}} {{smaller block|No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.}} We have the income-tax amendment to the Constitution. The 16th amendment to the Constitution provides that Congress can levy an income tax. That is the only authority in the Federal Government to levy an income tax. It does not inherently have that authority. The Federal Government can do only what the States gave it the authority to do when they entered into the compact in Philadelphia in 1787, and the amendments which have been adopted since then. Two years later, in 1789, the States adopted the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, for which there was so much sentiment. I do not believe the Constitution would have been ratified if the delegates to the convention had not promised the Bill of Rights would be submitted, and it was submitted and adopted 2 years after the convention, in 1789. {{smaller block|No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State.}} {{smaller block|No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.}} {{smaller block|No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.}} That is the only reason the States do not impose duties on some articles; otherwise they would probably do it, but under the Constitution they cannot do it. {{smaller block|No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.}} In other words, if I were an ambassador in London and the Queen of England wished to confer on me a title or wished to give me extra compensation for some reason I could not take the title or compensation unless Congress permitted it. Congress would have to pass an act to permit it. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 10. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ''ex post facto'' law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.}} In other words, that goes right down the line to support the point I make. So the Constitution provides exactly what the Federal Government can do. What hurts me is to see some distinguished Members of Congress, able men who believe in the division of powers between the Federal and State Governments—or I always thought they did—going along with the bill, because this is a bill that takes power away from the States and gives it to the Federal Government. The matter of elections is left up to each State. That power was not delegated. The qualifications for electors, the holding of elections, and all relevant matters were reserved to the States. There has been a movement, I understand to get the Congress to pass a bill eliminating the poll tax. I believe I told the Senate this morning, or this afternoon, that when I was Governor, I recommended that the poll tax be removed in my State and it was removed. But Congress may not pass a law to do it. It could do it, but it would be unconstitutional for the reason that there is a provision of the Constitution which states that the qualifications of electors shall be left to each State. Therefore, New Hampshire has qualifications and if the people of that State wish to make as a qualification for voting in that State the payment of a poll tax, they have a right to do so. The only way such a measure could be enacted legally, if it were going to be the law nationwide, would be for Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the poll tax. The Senator from Florida [Mr. {{sc|Holland}}] has now pending a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate the poll tax, amending the Constitution. To do that would be legal; it would be constitutional, and it would be proper. Personally I think it is better to leave to each State the power to fix the qualifications for voting of its citizens. In my State, as I have said, we have very low qualifications. We have heard much about people in my State not voting. I believe more people vote in my State than vote in New York, because New York has a much higher standard for voting. That State requires, I believe someone said, a high-school education. Someone else said it requires a grade-school education. It is certainly one of the two. In my State we require only that a man be able to read and write the Constitution, or that he own $300 worth of assessed property. So our requirements for voting are not stringent. They are not nearly as strict as they are in New York. I do not know about the requirements in the State of the Senator from North Dakota. A few years ago I was Governor of South Carolina. At that time a bill was pending in Congress to remove the poll tax on a nationwide basis. Congress was to do it. It would have been just as unconstitutional as this so-called compromise, whose proponents are trying to get it through the Congress, to deprive the people of a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. I thank my distinguished friend. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, I do not believe that American history is taught sufficiently in our high schools and colleges. I do not believe that a course in government is taught in our high schools and colleges. I come in contact with a great many intelligent people, people who have been educated, big financiers who have made a great deal of money, and many others; yet they do not know the fundamentals of the Constitution. It is because they have not studied it. I think the people of the country would be wise to study the Constitution. I think it is more important today than ever before for the people to study it and be able to delineate the powers of the Federal Government, and learn what the Federal Government has not the power to do. For example, the Congress has no power to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, because the qualifications of voters are left to each State. There are a great many things which Congress cannot do. Yet pressure is brought on Members of Congress, and they vote for certain measures anyway, because of the pressure. Why do Senators think this so-called compromise on the civil rights bill is being pressed? Why is there any civil rights bill before us? Why call this measure a right-to-vote bill? It is a perfect farce. It is not a right-to-vote bill. As I have stated, every State in the Union has statutes providing for the right to vote. The Federal Government has statutes providing for the right to vote. Why is such a bill as this being considered at this time? Because there are pressures on Members of Congress to do so. Some Members of Congress attempted to do so, even though they were doubtful of the constitutionality of the measure. The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] stated earlier in the day that he did not think the jury trial amendment which was put in the compromise bill in the House was constitutional. He said he would offer an amendment in January to correct it. I would rather see him vote against it now. If the bill should pass anyway, he could later offer his amendment. But if a bill is unconstitutional, I think it is better for us not to vote for it. I think Members of Congress must develop stamina, fortitude, and courage to resist pressures, and to stand by the Constitution. If we do not do so, as I stated earlier in the day, we shall keep whittling away the rights of the States until, after a while, the States will not have any rights. There will be a powerful Central Government—and it will be a powerful monster, too. Everything will radiate from Washington. I understand there is a movement on foot to establish a national police system. It is desired to convert the FBI, which is purely an investigative agency, into a law-enforcement agency. It is not a law-enforcement agency. Congress would not have the right to establish a national police agency, because under the Constitution the police power is reserved to the States. However, this investigative agency, the FBI, is in a different situation. It does not do police work. It apprehends criminals and works with the States, and cooperates in the execution of Federal laws, apprehending violators and bringing them to trial. But it is not a police agency. I am glad that Mr. J. Edgar Hoover said that he was opposed to a national police system. I am sorry to see that the President has been recommending a bill to provide Federal aid to education by way of construction of school buildings. I have been amazed at the fact that so many people are not acquainted with the fact that in the entire Federal Constitution there is not a sentence which contains the word “education.” The word “education” is not to be found in the United States Constitution. Therefore, since the States did not delegate the field of education to the Federal Government, the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in that field, unless we amend the Constitution and give the Federal Government jurisdiction in the field of education. We can amend the Constitution. We can follow one of the four methods of amending the Constitution, and give the Federal Government authority in that field, if that is the wise thing to do, which I do not think it is. However, that is the way it must be done. We have no authority to appropriate money for Federal aid to education. I know that the President’s intentions are good. However, at Columbia University several years ago he was against Federal aid to education. At any rate, it would be a great mistake for the Federal Government to enter the field of education. After we begin giving money for Federal aid to education by way of construction, the next demand from the powerful National Education Association, which I understand is building a tremendous office building in Washington, will be for a supplement to the salaries of teachers. The National Education Association will bring pressure on Members of Congress, as do other pressure organizations, and will say, “We need supplements to teachers’ salaries.” When we enact legislation for Federal aid to construct the buildings, and to provide supplements to teachers’ salaries, the Federal Government will be asked to pay a larger share of such salaries, and there will be more and more control to go with it. Before we know it, there will be Federal control of education, and the parents of the Nation will find their children studying books selected in Washington, instead of by the people in Delaware, North Dakota, and South Carolina. It is a great mistake for us not to follow the Constitution. If the Constitution needs amending, we can amend it. There is a provision for amending it, and it should be amended from time to time. There have been 22 amendments since it was adopted. In 1789 the first 10 amendments were adopted. Since then, 12 other amendments have been adopted. There are now 22 amendments to the Constitution. We were talking about the 16th amendment awhile ago, the income-tax amendment. I think most people feel that it is necessary, although the income tax appears high. Therefore there had to be a way to bring it about. Congress could not pass an income-tax law. It had no authority to do so until the Constitution had been amended to give Congress the power to do it. I think it is important to understand what we mean by the division of powers between the Federal Government and the State governments. We have a compound Republic. It is a compound Republic because there are Federal powers and State powers. There are three branches in the Federal Government, each of which checks on the others, with the exception of the Supreme Court. It has practically no check on it, and it has gone wild. There are three branches in the State governments. Each is supposed to be a check on the others. There are two checks on the Supreme Court. In the first place, we can impeach Supreme Court justices. However, the House must do the impeaching, and the Senate sits as a jury to hear the case. So, there is not much the Senate can do from that standpoint. The other one is that, under the Constitution, the appellate power of the Supreme Court can be controlled by the Congress, so that if Congress saw fit to pass a bill to limit the {{SIC|appelate|appellate}} power of the Supreme Court, Congress would have that right. The Constitution gives it the power to do that. Many persons think we have to amend the Constitution before we can do that. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Would the Senator say that would be a form of cruel and inhuman punishment to impose upon his colleagues? Mr. THURMOND. I would say it is cruel and inhuman punishment to impose on the citizens of America if we pass a bill without providing for a jury trial. (Manifestations of applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The galleries will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. I have received letters from a number of States, and I have been in California. I spent a week there in the fall of 1953. Starting at Long Beach and ending up at San Francisco, I made addresses all the way up the coast. I even went to Bakersfield and saw an old friend of the Senator from California there. I talked with many persons there. Unless they have had a change in sentiment, they think, just as the people of South Carolina do, that there should be jury trials. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does not the distinguished Senator also think that the people of California are interested in the 15th amendment to the Constitution, assuring all American citizens the right to vote? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the people of California are, and I am sure the people of South Carolina are. The people of South Carolina have done something about it, just as have the people of California. Last night, when the distinguished Senator from California was resting comfortably, I was speaking here and trying to rouse the people of America concerning the dangers of taking away their right of trial by jury. I placed in the {{sc|Record}} the statutes of California on that subject, and here is what they provide: {{smaller block|“California: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Elections Code Annotated—West’s—1955:}} {{smaller block|“Hindering public meeting: Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence, willfully hinders of prevents electors from assembling in public meetings for consideration of public questions (sec. 5004).}} {{smaller block|“Intimidating voter: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor, who, directly or indirectly, uses, or threatens to use, force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts, or threatens to inflict, any injury, damage, harm, or loss, or other forms of intimidation, to compel a person to vote, or refrain from voting, at any election (sec 1158).}} {{smaller block|“Interference with free exercise of elective franchise: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent means, impedes or prevents the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or who compels or induces a voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person (sec. 11582).}} {{smaller block|“Election officers: Any election officer who induces, or attempts to induce, any voter, either by menace or reward, to vote differently from the way he intended to vote, is guilty of a felony.

Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does the Senator not recognize the fact that under the voting rights bill which the Senate is attempting to pass but which the Senator from South Carolina has, for the moment, successfully prevented the Senate from passing, there is not a single individual who can be cited for either civil or criminal contempt if another American citizen is deprived of his right to vote under the Constitution? So, if the Senator is correct in his statement that no person is deprived of his right to vote in his State—and I feel certain that no American citizen is denied the right to vote in my State—neither California nor South Carolina would cite any public official or other person criminally unless they were depriving people of their right to vote under the laws of the State. Mr. THURMOND. I think some part of the Union could nullify the Constitution, just as I think some juries turn loose some defendants who are guilty. Some judges will make mistakes, too. But why do we not let the States alone and let them handle their own problems? I know the southern people and I know they are doing all they can for the Negro. I see my friend the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting next to the Senator from California. He feels that his State is doing all it can. I know the State of Mississippi, from which come my good friends, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} and Senator {{sc|Stennis}}, is doing all it can. We cannot change customs overnight. We have to let the local people work these things out. But Congress did not care to let the local people work these things out. All that is necessary is to have enforcement of the Federal statute. There is a Federal statute, to which I called attention today. For the benefit of Senators who were not here at the time, I may say that this statute provides that whoever intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, is guilty of a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment of 1 year. Mr. COOPER. Will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator know that there has never been any question, since the War Between the States, about the Negro population in Kentucky having the right to vote, and exercising that right? Mr. THURMOND. I have never heard any question about it. I simply say that in my State the Negroes are voting in large numbers. They claimed the credit for carrying the election for Stevenson in 1952, and at that time there was a very close election. They claimed they cast more than 80,000 votes, which was about 25 percent of the total. Their own newspaper contained that information. I have a clipping from that newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer. So they are certainly voting in my State, and I am sure they are voting in the Senator’s State. Is it not better to let the local people work out these problems, rather than to rush things on them, and try to change their customs overnight? As a matter of fact, if you gentlemen want to take any action, however, if the proponents of this bill are not satisfied—I do not think the distinguished Senator is dissatisfied—with the enforcement by the governors of the States of the Nation—and the governors are the chief executive officers of the States and are responsible for enforcing the law—or if the Federal Government is not satisfied with the enforcement being given by the governors to the voting laws of the States to protect the rights of people to vote, then why do they not enforce the Federal statute, which is already on the books? Mr. COOPER. Because of the Senator’s kind reference, I should like to ask a question as follows: Does the Senator know that in Kentucky all citizens, including all Negroes, have had, since the War Between the States, the right to vote, have exercised that right, and that it has never been questioned? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is the case, because I have heard that they vote there. They are voting in the South in larger numbers than ever before. No persons in my State are deprived of the right to vote. If they are qualified to vote, they are allowed to vote. Of course, no man who is not qualified ought to be allowed to vote. New York State has a much higher standard, as I said a while ago, than we have. If a person can merely read or write in my State, he can vote. In New York one has to be a high-school graduate, I believe, or at least has to meet a literacy test. So we are not nearly so strict in South Carolina as they are in New York. The Senator comes from a border State. Kentucky is a great State. I suggest to the Senator, however, since he is from a border State that went in part with the North and in part with the South, that the Senator stick with the South. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I will ask the Senator if it is not true that Kentucky had to make that choice almost a hundred years ago and they chose to stick with the Union? Mr. THURMOD. Mr. President, if there is any Member in the Senate who is not satisfied with the voting protection given by the governors and the other officials of the States of the Nation, again I say that all they have to do is to call upon the Justice Department to enforce section 594. It is now against the Federal law to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or to attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any voter, in any way, shape, or form. That is the Federal statute which is on the books now. Why not enforce that statute? What is the idea of coming here with a right-to-vote bill? That is a big, high-sounding word that does not mean anything. If we pass this bill, we will pass an unconstitutional bill. It will be all right if the Justice Department will enforce section 594. I believe they are enforcing it. Is there anyone that thinks they are not enforcing this law? Is there anyone who thinks the present administration is not enforcing section 594? If the Justice Department are enforcing this law, they are protecting people in this matter now. If they are not enforcing this law, let them enforce it, and that will protect them. Either the Justice Department are not enforcing this law, if they have had complaints, or they have not had any complaints. Has the Justice Department had complaints, such as we have been hearing about, that many people have been denied the right to vote? We hear that in the South many people are denied the right to vote. What is there now; what has there been in the past 5 years to keep the Attorney General from going to any Southern State to enforce this statute? It is a Federal statute. The Attorney General not only has the right to enforce it, but he has the duty. If there have been any complaints about people in the South not voting, I have not heard of them. But if there have been any complaints about them not voting, then the Justice Department ought to do something about it. If the Justice Department has taken no action to enforce this statute, it shows one of two things: The Department has not had anybody objecting, or, if there were objections, it ignored them and did not do its duty by enforcing the statute. The point is there is a Federal statute now, so why pass another bill? All the Congress needs to do is to follow the Constitution. If we will follow the line of demarcation in the Constitution between the powers delegated to the Federal Government and the powers reserved to the States, we will not get into difficulties about all these different things. If a bill were introduced to repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, there would not be any question but that the Congress would not consider it because it would be unconstitutional. The qualifications of voting are reserved to the States. Why can we not look at it from that viewpoint and not try to say whether it is a good bill or a bad bill? On the right to vote bill, should there be any question whether we are going to accept this compromise? I do not think there should be any question at all, because the Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The court decision which I have before me holds that criminal contempt is a crime. Mr. President— The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). The Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I will proceed now, if there are no further questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina has the floor. Mr. THURMOND. Article III., defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield to the able Senator for a question. Mr. LANGER. Is it correct that under Federal statute 594 there can be imposed a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. The compromise right to vote bill cuts it down to a fine of $300 and 45 days in jail. If the judge determines that the defendant ought to suffer a greater penalty than that, the case has to go to a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator, I will say if this bill is passed, of course I am expecting it to be held unconstitutional as soon as it can be tested. But until that is done, they will have a choice. There could be a prosecution under the Federal statute, which is section 594: or such a person could be taken before a Federal judge, and the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to try the case. If the judge decided he was in a hurry to take a vacation trip, he could simply say, “I will try the case myself.” Then, under the provisions of the compromise measure, the judge would try the case; and the person being tried could not complain. Let me ask the Senator from North Dakota what he would do. Suppose he were to find himself in such a situation; and suppose the judge were to say to him, “Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I will not give you a jury trial. I will try you myself”—and then the judge would rear back on his haunches and would grin. What would the Senator from North Dakota do under those circumstances? There would be nothing he could do, because the judge would have a right to try him under the provisions of the compromise measure which has come to us from the House of Representatives. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Inasmuch as section 594 is on the statute books, why is not this right-to-vote bill entirely superfluous? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has put his finger on exactly what I have been discussing in the Senate for—let me see, Mr. President, how long has it been? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-one hours. Mr. THURMOND. No; Mr. President, it has been 22 hours and 10 minutes. [Laughter.] For 22 hours and 10 minutes I have been trying to emphasize that point—namely, why is this compromise necessary, when a Federal statute on this subject is already on the statute books? It provides for a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail. If the Department of Justice is interested in the persons who are alleged to have been deprived of the right to vote—regardless of whether they are whites, Negroes, or others—why does not the Department of Justice take action to enforce section 594 and thus protect the right to vote? The Department of Justice can do that under section 594. That is up to the Department of Justice. I do not know what the Department will do; that is up to the Department of Justice. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. During the last 5 years, has anyone been arrested under section 594? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota, I wish to say that I have never heard that anyone in my State has been tried under that statute. So there is no use in having the representatives of the Department of Justice come to South Carolina and say that people there are deprived of the right to vote, because if anyone representing the Department of Justice does come to South Carolina and does make such a statement, I will tell him that it is his own fault, for those in the Department of Justice have failed to do their duty; they have a law under which they can punish such persons, but they have not done so. Either no one in South Carolina is deprived of the right to vote, or else the Department of Justice has failed to do its duty. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. I get the point very clearly. Mr. THURMOND. Let me ask whether there are any more questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield the floor? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I shall proceed. I am just trying to find a section of the Constitution to which I wish to refer. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, while the Senator from South Carolina is doing that, will he yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Can the Senator from South Carolina tell the Senate how many years ago section 594 was enacted into law? Mr. THURMOND. I believe it was in 1939. Mr. LANGER. Do I correctly understand that since that time, there has been no prosecution under that provision of law? Is that true, so far as the Senator from South Carolina knows? Mr. THURMOND. I have not heard of a single prosecution in South Carolina under that statute. Mr. LANGER. Has the Senator heard of one in any other State? Mr. THURMOND. If there has been one, I have not heard of it. I would not say there has not been one in some other State, but I do not know of a case of that sort which has been tried in the Federal courts. Some have been tried in the State courts; we are enforcing our State laws. But I have not heard of a case in which anyone has been tried under this Federal statute—which carries with it a heavy penalty, namely, a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment in jail for 1 year. I have never heard of anyone who has been tried under that law. But, Mr. President, of course I am not surprised at that, because in South Carolina, everyone who wishes to register to vote and to vote, does register and does vote, if he is qualified. So I do not think it likely that there would be any cases of that sort in South Carolina. Mr. President, there have been insinuations to the effect that the Southern States are denying some people the right to vote. I think insinuations about any States should stop—whether that be Northern States, Southern States, Eastern States, or Western States. All of us are Americans. We have a great country. In all the wars the United States has ever fought, the United States has had brave soldiers from all sections of the country. It is very bad to have people in one section of the country try to snipe at people in another section of the country. That is the very thing George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address. Mr. LANGER. Yes, I am familiar with that admonition by George Washington. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, if anyone in the South has been intimidated or coerced or threatened with regard to voting—if anyone in any Southern State has been treated in that way—the district attorney in the State can take action any day he wishes to; and if the Department of Justice does not do it, the Department is failing to perform its duty with respect to such violations; or else there are no violations of that sort. So evidently there have not been any violations of that sort in the State of South Carolina, or else no one has complained about them. As a matter of fact, I am quite sure that there have not been any violations of that sort in my State, because, as I have said, anyone in South Carolina who wishes to vote, and who is qualified to vote, and who registers, can vote. Mr. President, I should like to read what George Washington said. Sometimes, Mr. President, when I see the able Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting in his seat in this Chamber—so able a judge and lawyer, and a fine soldier in World War II.; and when I see in the Chamber the distinguished senior Senator from Michigan [Mr. {{sc|Potter}}], who lost both of his legs in that war; and when I see my other fellow veterans who are distinguished Members of this body or are distinguished Members of the House of Representatives, and then when I see matters of a sectional nature brought up here, and when one group wishes to try to have enacted into law a measure aimed at punishing another section of the country, it makes my heart ache. My colleagues who are veterans did not feel that way when they were serving in the Armed Forces overseas; they did not feel that way when they were in uniform. If the Members of Congress from various sections of the United States would just accord to all the other States the same respect that they expect to have accorded to their own States I am sure that we would not be having this trouble; and then I would not have been speaking here on this subject for more than 22 hours in an effort to arouse the American people. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For 22 hours and 10 minutes. Mr. THURMOND. No, Mr. President, for 22 hours and 20 minutes. [Laughter.] I would not be trying to arouse the American people if it were not necessary. But why should the North want to pick on those of us who live in the South? Why do the people in New York want to pick on us? Why do the people in New Jersey want to pick on us? Or why do the people of any other section of the country want to pick on us? We think we are fairly good people. We think we are patriotic. The Members of Congress from the Southern States want to work together with all the other Members of Congress. Mr. President, I want to extend every courtesy to every other Member of Congress, and I want to see those who live in any particular section of the country extend to the rest of the people of the country the same courtesy that they expect to have extended to themselves. But, Mr. President, I can tell you this: This right-to-vote bill—and I say this because I know something about its history—is aimed at the South. It is aimed at the South; and it hurts me to see that done, because South Carolina is not guilty, and this bill should not be enacted. I do not believe the other Southern States are guilty. The Southern States have done their part in every way. As I have said, the people of the Southern States have fought for their country and have served in public office in every way. They have been honorable people. Yet, in order to try to win the votes of certain minority blocs, some pressure groups are willing to punish us, to put us under the heel, and to grind and grind and grind us. I am getting tired of it. (Manifestations of applause by the occupants of the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The doorkeepers must keep the galleries in order. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. COOPER. A minute ago the Senator spoke very generously of our association and friendship during World War II. I know that he did not mean to intimate that there was any intention upon the part of the Senator from Kentucky, in his vote on the civil-rights bill, to show any bias or prejudice toward his own people in the South. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that there was not, Senator. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator remember? Mr. THURMOND. I remember, and I say to the Senator from Kentucky he is one of the finest and most gracious gentlemen I have known. The Senator from Kentucky is not one of those ardent proponents of the bill who is trying to ram the bill home. I do not know how he is going to vote, but he is a good constitutional lawyer. I hope he will not vote for it. I hope he will think over the jury trial issue and not vote for it. He has not been one of those who has been baiting the South. Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Kentucky is a good friend of the Senator from South Carolina, but the Senator from Kentucky will vote for civil rights. He intends to vote for the bill this evening or at some later time. In the debate he said again and again that he believes in the juries in the South, and that the people of the South would respect the law and would follow the law. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina knows that the Senator from Kentucky said that. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure he did say that. The only thing is that if the Senator feels that the South obeys the law, I do not understand why he should want to have this bill passed. I will get on with what George Washington said. Mr. President, George Washington, in his Farewell Address, used his strongest language against those who would divide our country; he urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern—Atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations: they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} That was George Washington speaking. George Washington wanted to see the people from the North to the South, and to the East and the West, bound together with a fraternal feeling. He wanted a fraternal attitude manifested. Why should we not manifest a fraternal attitude on these matters? Why should we not try to help another section, and not sponsor legislation which is aimed at any particular section, merely to try to get votes to win an election? I have said, and I repeat, that since every State in the United States from Alabama to Wyoming has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and since the Federal Government has a statute on its books to protect the right to vote, there is no need for this bill. I say, and I repeat, that I think the bill is purely political, and I think that both parties have been trying to grab the ball to see who could get the spotlight for the elections coming up in 1958. {{smaller block|Article III, defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. We may note, for example, two further uses of the plural: First, the judicial power is to extend “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.” Second, treason against the United States is to consist “only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies.” Because the authority of the Court will be considered at length in a later chapter, it will suffice here merely to point out that nowhere in article III is the Court given jurisdiction over controversies between a State and the United States. That proposal was specifically advanced during the convention, and specifically rejected.}} {{smaller block|Every section—indeed, every paragraph—of article IV touches upon the Federal nature of the Union. Full faith and credit are to be given in each State, to the acts and judicial proceedings of every other State. If this were not a Federal Union, the provision would be nonsense. Beyond this, the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. A person charged in any State with crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall be delivered upon demand to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime.}} {{smaller block|Then comes the provision that Northern States were to flout over a period of 30 years: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.”}} {{smaller block|Finally, we may note in article IV the provision for admitting new States into this Union (not this Nation, but this Union): “No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.”}} {{smaller block|Article V had best be quoted in full. It has not been changed by so much as an apostrophe in the years since it came from Philadelphia in September of 1787. It still fixes and defines the sovereign power:}} {{smaller block|Pause for a moment over this article of the Constitution. We are dealing here with Taylor’s “will to enact” and “power to execute;” we are dealing with Marshall’s “power to make and unmake.” It was plainly envisioned by the framers that their work would require amendment through the years. “That useful alterations will be suggested by experience, could not but be foreseen,” Madison was to write. There was a double aim in the provision, even a triple aim. {{SIC|Aricle|Article}} V, Madison tells us, was intended, first, to guard equally against too-easy amendment on the one hand and too-difficult amendment on the other. It was drafted, secondly, to permit amendments to originate both with the Federal and with the State Governments. But it was intended, finally, to leave the ultimate decision upon changing the Constitution to the sovereign States themselves—not to the people as a mass, nor even to a bare majority of the States as such. It was recognized that the great, overriding principle of protection for minorities should apply here as bindingly as it was to apply elsewhere. If one-fourth of the States plus one should object to a change in the Constitution—even if that change were desired by three-fourths minus one (and even if this larger fraction should include the great bulk of the total population)—the change could not be engrafted to the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI is brief. Its first provision covers debts and engagements entered into under the Articles of Confederation and continues these obligations under the proposed new Constitution; its third provision prohibits any religious test as a qualification for public office and requires an oath to support the Constitution of all public officers, both State and Federal.}} {{smaller block|It is the second provision that merits brief attention in this summary review:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”}} {{smaller block|Let us go back: What is to be supreme? Three things. First, “this Constitution.” Secondly, “laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof.” Third, treaties made “under the authority of the United States.” That is all. Not Executive orders of the President. Not even judgments of the Supreme Court. The Constitution, the laws made in pursuance thereof, the treaties.}} {{smaller block|In passing, note the phrase “law of the land.” It stems originally from the Magna Carta; but as it appears in the Constitution, “law of the land” was merely a substitution, proposed by the committee on style, for “law of the several States and their citizens and inhabitants.” The object was to extend this new supreme law to Territories as well as to the States. And this phrase, “law of the land,” is as close as the Constitution ever comes to suggesting a “nation.” Actually the word “nation” or the word “national” never appears in the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The aim, we will recall, was to form “a more perfect Union.” Representatives and taxes were to be apportioned among the several States which may be included “within this Union.” The militia may be called forth to execute “the laws of the Union.” The President is to provide Congress with information on the “state of the Union.” New States are to be admitted “into this Union.” The guaranty of a republican form of government goes “to every State in this Union.” But never, at any point, are the United States described, in the Constitution, as comprising a “nation.”}} {{smaller block|This is not to contend, of course, that ours is not a Nation, or that the Federal Government does not operate nationally. It is only to suggest that the deliberate terms of the Constitution speak for themselves, and should be heeded: Our country is, first and foremost, originally and still, a Union of States. And when we speak of the law of the land, it should be kept steadily in mind that the land is a Federal Union, in which each of the States stands coequal with every other State. The Constitution is supreme not only in its authority over each State, but also in its protection over each State. And each State, each respective State, is entitled to rely upon the Constitution as embodying supreme law that all other States must adhere to with equal fidelity, like it or not, until the Constitution be changed by the States themselves.}} {{smaller block|Note, too, the careful qualification that defines laws enacted by the Congress. Just any laws of the United States are not enough: Laws, to be binding, must be laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Any attempted statutes that invade the residuary authority of the States, Hamilton tells us, “will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” And he adds, at another point, that:}} {{smaller block|“There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”}} {{smaller block|Surely, it may be urged that precisely the same standard must be applied to other branches of the Federal Government—the executive and judicial no less than the legislative. By extension, thus, judgments of the Court, to be supreme law of the land, must be made pursuant to the Constitution. A judgment of the Court, so violative of the clear terms and understandings of the Constitution as to invade the residuary authority of the States, must also be regarded as a usurpation, and should deserve to be treated as such. The argument will be pursued at greater length hereafter.}} {{smaller block|Finally, this brief examination of the Constitution from the standpoint of the States may be concluded with a second look at article VII. It should be read carefully; for this is the clause that binds: “The ratification of the conventions of 9 States”—not, again, the approval of a majority of the people in a popular referendum, but the ratification of 9 States—“shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, on September 17, the Convention concluded its work. George Washington, as President of the Convention, transmitted the document to the Congress. A prophetic sentence appeared in his letter, as he mentioned the compromises necessary for the surrender of sovereign powers: “It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved.” The States had done the best they could through their delegates. Eager to consolidate their Union, each State had been disposed “to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected.” They launched the ship.}} {{smaller block|“Well, Doctor,” said the lady to Mr. Franklin, “what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”}} {{smaller block|“A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”}} It is pretty hard to keep when bills are introduced to violate the Constitution by chipping off and whittling away the rights of the States in an effort, it seems, to reduce them to colonial status. Continuing the quotation from the Kilpatrick book: {{c|{{x-smaller|6. THE PROPHETIC MR. HENRY}}}} {{smaller block|For the States’ understanding of what the Constitution was to mean to them, as States, we can look not only to the internal evidence of the Constitution itself, but to the debates in the ratifying conventions and to some of the contemporary criticism, notably in the Federalist papers. We can look, also, to some of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court from time to time, and to the writings of scholars of our own day.}} {{smaller block|The evidence is overwhelming. By written compact, solemnly ratified, the States agreed mutually to delegate certain of their sovereign powers to a Federal Government. They enumerated these powers. All other powers they reserved to themselves, and these reserved powers did not need to be enumerated: the reserved powers constituted an inherent powers of sovereign States not specifically abridged.}} {{smaller block|So plain was this understanding that the feeling most frequently encountered, in reading comments of the period, is one of incredulity that anyone should doubt it.}} {{smaller block|“The proposed constitution,” said Hamilton, “so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, said Madison:}} {{smaller block|“It is to be remembered that the General Government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its {{SIC|jursidiction|jurisdiction}} is limited to certain enumerated objects which concern all the members of the Republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments, which can extend their care to all other objects which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity.”}} {{smaller block|Neither Hamilton nor Madison could quite imagine the Federal Government ever seriously encroaching upon the States.}} {{smaller block|“Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require,” said Hamilton, “I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons intrusted with the administration of the General Government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository.”}} {{smaller block|Then he added, with a singular absence of prophecy:}} {{smaller block|“The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things, in short, which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected. * * *}} {{smaller block|“It will always be far more easy for the State governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the National Government to encroach upon the State authorities.”}} That is where he was wrong. In other words, Hamilton had no idea that the Federal Government would ever attempt to encroach on the rights of the states. In his day it looked to him as if it would be easier for the States to encroach on the rights of the Federal Government than for the Federal Government to encroach on the rights of the States. But in recent years do-gooders, welfare-staters, left-wingers, and other pressure groups are trying to transform this Government. They are trying to make of it a national government. It is not a national government; it is a Federal Government. The States came together in a federation and formed this Government. That is the conception which I hope we can get over to the people of the Nation, that our Government is not a national government; it is a Federal Government made by the States coming together and forming a federation and signing the compact which became the Constitution. Therefore we have a Federal Government, not a national government. I hope we shall never have a national government. We must stop the Federal usurpation that is now going on and has been going on for some years. {{smaller block|Madison, also, imagined that the Federal Government would “be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments.” For his part, Hamilton thought it more probable that the States would encroach upon the Federal Government, and he imagined that in such contests the State governments, because they “will commonly possess most influence” over the people, would dominate Federal agencies “to the disadvantage of the Union.” However, all such conjectures Hamilton viewed as “extremely vague and fallible.” He preferred to assume that the people “will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium between the general and the State governments.”}} {{smaller block|In No. 45, Madison treated at considerable length the widespread apprehension that the States would be obliterated. Some of his comments have been outdated; what he has to say about the election of Senators, for example, unhappily has been superseded by the misfortune of the 17th amendment. Some of his other observations, dealing with functions of what was to become the Bureau of Internal Revenue, may occasion some wary reflection on the lengths by which even a Madison could miss his guess. But as contemporary evidence of the role guaranteed to the States, No. 45 justifies quotation at some length:}} {{smaller block|“The State governments will have the advantage of the Federal Government, whet her we compare them in respect to the immediate dependence of the one on the other; to the weight of personal influence which each side will possess; to the powers respectively vested in them to the predilection and probable support of the people; to the disposition and faculty of resisting and frustrating the measures of each other.}} {{smaller block|“The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the Federal Government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. Even the House of Representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the State legislatures. Thus, each of the principal branches of the Federal Government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing toward them. On the other side, the component parts of the State governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the Federal Government, and very little, if at all, to the local influence of its members.}} {{smaller block|“The number of individuals employed under the Constitution of the United States will be much smaller than the number employed under the particular States. There will consequently be less of personal influence on the side or the former than of the latter. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments of 13 and more States, the justices of peace, officers of militia, ministerial officers of justice, with all the county, corporation, and town officers, for 3 millions and more of people, intermixed, and having particular acquaintance with every class and circle of people, must exceed, beyond all proportion, both in number and influence, those of every description who will be employed in the administration of the Federal system. Compare the members of the three great departments of the 13 States, excluding from the judiciary department the justices of peace, with the members of the corresponding departments of the single government of the Union; compare the militia officers of 3 millions of people with the military and marine officers of any establishment which is within the compass of probability, or, I may add, of possibility, and in this view alone, we may pronounce the advantage of the States to be decisive.}} {{smaller block|“If the Federal Government is to have collectors of revenue, the State governments will have theirs also. And as those of the former will be principally on the seacoast, and not very numerous, whilst those of the latter will be spread over the face of the country, and will be very numerous, the advantage in this view also lies on the same side. It is true, that the confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union·, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.}} {{smaller block|“The operations of the Federal Government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the Federal Government. The more adequate, indeed, the Federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.}} {{smaller block|“If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy and candor, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of new powers to the union, than in the invigoration of its original powers. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the Articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them.”}} {{smaller block|Even John Marshall, who did more than any man in our history to aggrandize the Federal Government and to weaken the States, never doubted the basic structure of divided powers. Consider, briefly, his comment in the famed case of ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland''. The case arose when Congress established the Bank of the United States, and Maryland undertook to levy a tax upon the bank’s Baltimore branch; James McCulloch, the cashier, refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued.}} {{smaller block|The legal questions were two: Did Congress have power to incorporate the bank, and secondly, did Maryland have power to tax it? Marshall answered the first one “Yes,” the second, “No.” With the bulk of his reasoning, strict constructionists and apostles of States rights will disagree: Marshall’s sophisticated mind did not boggle at stretching “necessary” to mean “convenient.” In considering the actual act of ratification by which the Union was formed, Marshall was not much impressed by the fact, which he could not escape, that the people met in State conventions. “Where else should they have assembled?” he asked. But even here, a couple of sentences merit quotation as evidence from the States greatest detractor:}} {{smaller block|“It is true, [the people] assembled in their several States—and where else should they have assembled? No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall went on in his opinion to confuse “States” and “State governments,” thus setting up a convenient strawman to batter down. No one ever had contended that the Constitution was ratified by State governments, but Marshall, with a glittering display of intellectual swordsmanship, neatly skewered the nonexistent objection. Then he went on to say:}} {{smaller block|“This Government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was pending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted. But the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising, and will probably continue to arise, as long as our system shall exist.”}} {{smaller block|True enough, the question of “the extent of powers” does continue to arise to this day, though the doctrines of Marshall have so pervaded public thinking that it often is forgotten that the Federal Government has any limitations whatever. But the separateness of the States and the nature of their delegated powers were clearly recognized when the Constitution was created. The prophets who foresaw the trend toward consolidation—notably Patrick Henry and George Mason—were told they were old women, seeing ghosts.}} {{smaller block|Consider, if you will, the debate on ratification in Virginia. The transcript offers some absorbing reading. If the clash of a Henry and a Mason with a Pendleton and a Madison does not prompt reflection upon subsequent corruption of the Constitution, at the very least their battle must lead to regrets at the decline in the quality of today’s legislative debates. There were giants in those days. This was, to paraphrase Marshall, a Constitution they were debating. What was said of the relationship of the States and the Federal Government?}} {{smaller block|Go back in time. This was a sultry summer in Richmond. At least twice the brief convention was interrupted by thunder storms so severe the delegates were forced to recess. Tempers flared sharply. At one point Edmund Randolph, infuriated with Patrick Henry, was prepared to let their friendship “fall like Lucifer, never to rise again.” They began on Monday, June 2; they adjourned ''sine die'' on Friday, June 27. Into those 4 weeks, the Virginians of 1788 packed a world of profound reflection upon the meaning and intention of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Edmund Pendleton served as president of the Virginia convention. He was a remarkable man: lawyer, scholar, statesman, thinker. In advocating ratification, Pendleton was joined by James Madison, John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, and Light Horse Harry Lee. They carried the day against Patrick Henry and George Mason, as leading opponents of the proposition.}} {{smaller block|The convention scarcely had begun before Henry established the broad spread of argument. He did not propose to abide by any parliamentary decision to debate one clause at a time. Before the convention in Philadelphia the previous summer, said Henry, a general peace and a universal tranquillity had prevailed. Now he was “extremely uneasy at the proposed change of government.” He swept the room with a cold eye: “Be extremely cautious, watchful, jealous of your liberty. Instead of securing your rights, you may lose them forever.”}} {{smaller block|George Mason came to his side. He charged that the new Constitution would create “a national government, and no longer a confederation.” He especially denounced the authority proposed in the general government to levy direct taxes. This power, being at the discretion of Congress and unconfined, “and without any kind of control, must carry everything before it.” “The idea of a consolidated government,” he said, “is totally subversive of every principle which has hitherto governed us. This power is calculated to annihilate totally the State governments. * * * These two concurrent powers cannot exist long together; the one will destroy the other; the general government, being paramount to and in every respect more powerful than the State governments, the latter must give way to the former.”}} {{smaller block|Then Mason voiced the argument that is as applicable in the mid-20th century as it was toward the end of the 18th:}} {{smaller block|“Is it to be supposed that one national government will suit so extensive a country, embracing so many climates, and containing inhabitants so very different in manners, habits, and customs? It is ascertained, by history, that there never was a government over a very extensive country without destroying the liberties of the people. * * * Popular governments can only exist in small territories.”}} {{smaller block|On Thursday, June 5, Pendleton undertook to respond to Henry and to Mason. Was the proposed government, he inquired, truly a consolidated government? Of course not. “If this be such a government, I will confess, with my worthy friend, that it is inadmissible. * * *” The proposed Federal Government, he said, “extends to the general purposes of the Union. It does not intermeddle with the local, particular affairs of the States. * * * It is the interest of the Federal to preserve the State governments; upon the latter the existence of the former depends. * * * I wonder how any gentleman, reflecting on the subject, could have conceived an idea of the possibility of the latter.”}} {{smaller block|Henry conceived it. He conceived it very clearly. The proposed Constitution, he felt, was “extremely pernicious, impolitic and dangerous.” He saw no jeopardy to the people in the Articles of Confederation; he saw great jeopardy in this new Constitution. And he had this to say:}} {{smaller block|“We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation. We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: By that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, ts about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism.”}} {{smaller block|And note this prophetic observation:}} {{smaller block|“There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?”}} {{smaller block|What indeed? What have these ideal checks and balances availed the States in the 20th century? Henry saw the empty prospect: “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints toward monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American?”}} {{smaller block|It was monarchy, ''per se'', that Henry foresaw. And it was despotism at the hands of a general government that he feared.}} {{smaller block|“What are your checks in this Government?” he kept asking.}} {{smaller block|No one ever answered him accurately, though half a dozen members of the Convention undertook to refute Henry and to allay his apprehensions. Randolph, replying to the objection that the country soon would be too large for effective government from the capital, commented that “no extent on earth seems to me too great,” but he added, “provided the laws be wisely made and executed.” It has proved to be a large qualification.}} {{smaller block|Madison also responded to Henry’s general objection that the liberty of the people was in danger: “Since the general civilization of mankind,” he said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.”}} {{smaller block|Follow closely what Madison had to say next. He is expounding the relationship of the State and Federal Governments as he, above all men, understood it:}} {{smaller block|“Give me leave to say something of the nature of the Government. * * * There are a number of opinions; but the principal question is, whether it be a federal or consolidated government. In order to judge properly of the question before us, we must consider it minutely in its principal parts. I conceive myself that it is of a mixed nature; it is in a manner unprecedented; we cannot find one express example in the experience of the world. It stands by itself. In some respects it is a government of a federal nature; in others it is of a consolidated nature. * * * Who are parties to it?”}} {{smaller block|Note this, especially; it was quoted earlier, but it bears repetition:}} {{smaller block|“The people—but not the people as composing one great body; but the people as composing 13 sovereignties.”}} {{smaller block|Francis Corbin, one of the ablest political students of his time, then joined Madison, in soothing the growing fear that the Federal Government might one day absorb the State Governments. “The powers of the General Government,” he said, “are only of a general nature, and their object is to protect, defend, and strengthen the United States; but the internal administration of government is left to the State legisiatures, who exclusively retain such powers as will give the States the advantages of small republics, without the danger commonly attendant on the weakness of such governments.”}} {{smaller block|Henry, undaunted, straightened his red wig and returned to the debate. “That government is no more than a choice among evils,” he remarked, “is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages.” He could not accept the idea that this new government would be “a mighty benefit to us.”}} {{smaller block|“Sir, I am made of so incredulous materials, that assertions and declarations do not satisfy me. I must be convinced, sir. I shall retain my infidelity on that subject till I see our liberties secured in a manner perfectly satisfactory to my understanding.”}} {{smaller block|This exchange occurred on Friday, June 16. The following Monday, Henry renewed his assault:}} {{smaller block|“A number of characters, of the greatest eminence in this country, object to this government for its consolidating tendency. This is not imaginary. It is a formidable reality. If consolidation proves to be as mischievous to this country as it has been to other countries, what will the poor inhabitants of this country do? This government will operate like an ambuscade. It will destroy the State governments, and swallow the liberties of the people, without giving previous notice.”}} {{smaller block|Madison came back with fresh replies and new remonstrances. The States were safely protected, he assured the Virginia convention. And renewing the arguments he had advanced in the Federalist, “There will be an irresistible bias toward the State governments.” It was utterly improbable—almost impossible—that the Federal Government ever would encroach upon the States. “The means of influence consist in having the disposal of gifts and emoluments, and in the number of persons employed by and dependent upon a government. Will any gentleman compare the number of persons which will be employed in the General Government with the number of those which will be in the State governments? The number of dependents upon the State governments will be infinitely greater than those on the General Government. I may say, with truth, that there never was a more economical government in any age or country, nor which will require fewer hands, or give less influence.”}} {{smaller block|Pendleton again gained the floor to tackle Henry’s objection. We are told, he said, “that there will be a war between the two bodies equally our representatives, and that the State government will be destroyed, and consolidated into the General Government. I stated before, that this could not be so. The two governments act in different manners, and for different purposes—the General Government in great national concerns, in which we are interested in common with other members of the Union; the State legislature in our mere local concerns. * * * Our dearest rights—life, liberty and property—as Virginians, are still in the hands of our State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Patrick Henry remained unconvinced. His opinion and Madison’s were “diametrically opposite.” The mild-mannered Madison said the States would prevail. Henry, a dramatic and eloquent speaker, feared the Federal Government would prevail. Bring forth the Federal allurements, he cried, “and compare them with the poor, contemptible things that the State legislatures can bring forth. * * * There are rich, fat, Federal emoluments. Your rich, smug, fine, fat, Federal officers—the number of collectors of taxes and excises—will outnumber anything from the States. Who can cope with the excise man and the tax men?”}} {{smaller block|Henry did not imagine that the dual governments could be kept each within its proper orbit. “I assert that there is danger of interference,” he remarked, “because no line is drawn between the powers of the two governments, in many instances; and where there is a line, there is no check to prevent the one from encroaching upon the powers of the other. I therefore contend that they must interfere, and that this interference must subvert the State government as being less powerful. Unless your government have checks, it must inevitably terminate in the destruction of your privileges.”}} {{smaller block|William Grayson, burly veteran of the Revolution, was another member of the Virginia convention who clearly perceived the absence of effective checks and balances. “Power ought to have such checks and limitations,” he said, “as to prevent bad men from abusing it. It ought to be granted on a supposition that men will be bad; for it may eventually be so.”}} {{smaller block|Grayson was here discussing his apprehensions toward the powers vested by article III in the Supreme Court of the United States. “This Court,” he protested, “has more power than any court under heaven.” The Court’s appellate jurisdiction, especially, aroused his alarm: “What has it in view, unless to subvert the State governments?”}} Mr. President, only in the past few months this Court rendered a decision which struck down the sedition statutes in 48 States and two Territories, merely because the Federal Government had a statute on sedition. The Supreme Court held that because of that fact, the Federal Government had preempted the whole field, and struck down the State statutes on sedition. Sedition means overthrowing the Government. That is the practical effect of it. Steve Nelson, in Pennsylvania, was convicted under Pennsylvania law. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, and the Court turned him loose, on the ground that when the Federal sedition statute was enacted, that statute preempted the field. Thus it struck down all the State statutes on the subject. Forty-two States and two Territories had statutes on the subject. Judge Howard Smith, in the House, who was the author of the bill, said there was no such intention on his part when he introduced the bill. There was even a provision in the bill that the State laws should not be affected. Yet the Supreme Court struck down the sedition statutes in 42 States and two Territories. Nine men overruled the legislatures of 42 States, and would have overruled the supreme courts in 42 States if their statutes had been tested. In New York, a man named Slochower was employed by the City College of New York. The charter of the City College provides that if any schoolteacher takes refuge behind the fifth amendment, upon being asked by an official body about his Communist connections, he shall be automatically dismissed. He was questioned by an official body. He was automatically dismissed. But what happened? The Supreme Court reinstated him in his job. City College of New York cannot control its own faculty because of these nine men in Washington. Forty-eight State legislatures cannot have sedition statutes because of these nine men in Washington. Out in New Mexico a man applied for membership in the bar. A similar situation occurred in California. One of the men was admittedly a former Communist. The bar did not want him to become a member. Certainly the bar board should have discretion enough to determine whether a man had the character to be admitted. The board turned him down. In the other case the man refused to answer questions about his Communist connections. Both of those men—one a former Communist, the other tied in with the Communists—were refused licenses to practice law, one in New Mexico and the other in California. But the nine men comprising the Supreme Court ordered those boards to give the applicants their licenses. Also, in California there were 14 Communists convicted of actually organizing Communist cells. They were preaching the doctrine of communism. They were convicted in the California court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. What did that Court do? It turned five of them loose and gave the other nine a new trial. It virtually held, in fact, that one can preach communism all he wants to. So long as the organizing does not begin until a future day, it will be all right. In other words, there would have to be action to put it into effect immediately under the holding of the Court. How are we going to protect this Government? How is the FBI going to protect it? How are the people of California going to protect it when they catch people who are actually organizing Communist cells and who are advocating communism and preaching communism, and then the Supreme Court turns them loose, laying down a dangerous doctrine—and it is a dangerous doctrine to which I just referred. Then there is the Watkins case, Mr. President, which has hampered investigations by the Congress. The Supreme Court handed down a decision after Watkins had been convicted of contempt and turned him loose. The Court, in effect, held that a member of the counsel or someone who wanted to ask questions would have to explain the questions to the witness. A smart witness would never admit he understood or comprehended what was meant. In the city of Washington, Mr. President, one of the most dangerous decisions, I think, that has ever been handed down involved the man Mallory, who raped a white woman. He was caught the next day. He was caught about 2 o’clock. Along about 8 or 9 o’clock he was given a lie-detector test, and he confessed the crime and admitted that he raped the white woman. The officers could not get hold of the United States Commissioner that night, and had to wait until the next morning, about 9 o’clock. They held the admitted criminal from about 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, and in the meantime he gave a confession to the police in Washington. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. He had confessed his crime. But the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. What did those nine men do with it? They reversed the decision and said the police had held the man too long. What is going to happen in this Nation if police officers cannot hold criminals from 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, especially when those criminals have confessed to their crimes? Heretofore in judicial administration there has been no particular time fixed. A person could be held a reasonable time before arraignment. Under this decision the man would have to confess at just about the time he was arrested, because the Supreme Court held that after he is arrested he is under coercion; and because he was held that short time the Supreme Court reversed the case, and the district attorney said there would not be any use to try it again; that the evidence depended on the confession. As a result of that case, the Chief of Police in Washington said it would be very difficult to apprehend and detect criminals and arrest them hereafter and be able to make the evidence stand up in court. He called it a terrible handicap to law enforcement in such cases. Mr. President, there are other decisions the Supreme Court has handed down about which I should like to tell the Senate. The Court seems to get its greatest delight out of turning loose Communists. The record is disgraceful. The FBI, the law-enforcement agencies, police officers chase down Communists and narcotic people—and they are hard to catch. Then the Supreme Court reverses decisions and turns them loose and they walk the streets, as did the confessed rapist who was sentenced on his own confession. It is a disgrace to this Nation. Mr. President, I still think this compromise bill is unconstitutional, but with the present Supreme Court no one can predict what they will do about it. {{smaller block|It was John Marshall, who 15 years later would do so much to justify Mason’s apprehensions, who undertook to allay his fears now. The Federal Government, he insisted, certainly would not have the power “to make laws on every subject.” Could Members of the Congress make laws affecting the transfer of property, or contracts, or claims, between citizens of the same State?}} {{smaller block|“Can they go beyond the delegated powers? If they were to make a law not warranted by any of the powers enumerated, it would be considered by the judges as an infringement of the Constitution which they are to guard. They would not consider such a law as coming under their jurisdiction. They would declare it void.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall saw no danger to the States from decrees of the Supreme Court: “I hope that no gentleman will think that a State will be called at the bar of the Federal court. * * * It is not rational to suppose that the sovereign power should be dragged before a court.”}} {{smaller block|Madison, Monroe, and others joined Marshall in defending the third article. Their debate was long and detailed. Much of it was concerned with questions of pleading and practice. But after several days, they went on to other aspects of the Constitution: The prospect of judicial despotism was recognized by the few, and denied by the many.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|7. THE STATES RATIFY}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, Virginia ratified. It was a close vote. A motion to postpone ratification until amendments, in the nature of a bill of rights, could be considered by “the other States in the American confederacy,” failed by 88 to 80. Then the main question was put, and this was what Virginia agreed to. It merits careful reading:}} {{smaller block|“We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, * * * having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will; that, therefore, no right, of any denomination, can be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by the Congress, by the Senate or House of Representatives, acting in any capacity, by the President, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances in which power is given by the Constitution for those purposes; and that, among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|The vote on that main question was 89 to 79, but even that narrow margin of approval was predicated upon a gentlemen’s agreement that the Virginia convention would recommend a number of amendments, in the form of a Bill of Rights, to be presented to the first Congress. And the first of these recommended amendments reads: “That each State in the Union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|By the time Virginia completed ratification, of course her decision no longer carried compelling importance. The Virginia convention had opened on June 2, not quite 2 weeks after South Carolina, on May 23, had become the eighth State to ratify. But while the Virginians were debating the issue, New Hampshire, on June 21, had become No. 9: The new union had been formed, and the Constitution had become binding upon the nine States “ratifying the same.” It has ever been Virginia’s fate to make the right decisions, but to put off making them as long as possible.}} {{smaller block|In this consideration of State and Federal relationships, there is something to be learned from the other resolutions of ratification. The easy ones came first: Delaware came first, on December 7, 1787, “fully, freely, and entirely” approving and assenting to the Constitution; and then, in quick succession, Pennsylvania on December 12, after a bitter fight; New Jersey on December 18, and Georgia—Georgians had not even read the Constitution—on January 2, 1788. Connecticut followed a week later, with a comfortable vote of 128 to 40.}} {{smaller block|Then a month’s hiatus set in. Massachusetts did not become No. 6 until February 7, and her approval of this “explicit and solemn compact” was not unqualified:}} {{smaller block|“It is the opinion of this convention that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this commonwealth, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|It will come as no surprise that the very first amendment recommended by Massachusetts was “that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States to be by them exercised.”}} {{smaller block|Two months later, on April 28, Maryland ratified. Then there was another lapse of nearly a month before South Carolina, on May 23, became No. 8; South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.” Then South Carolina added:}} {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} {{smaller block|New Hampshire, in voting its approval on June 21, closely paralleled the action of Massachusetts, but New Hampshire’s declaration as to reserved powers was even more explicit. The people of New Hampshire wanted it understood that all powers not “expressly and particularly delegated” were reserved.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield. Mr. LANGER. Was the action of the South Carolina convention unanimous? [Laughter.] Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall, from reading the history of that matter, whether it was unanimous or not. The action of the South Carolina convention was not unanimous when it acted on the question of adopting the resolution of ratification for the admission of South Carolina to the Union. South Carolina was the eighth State to be admitted to the Union. New Hampshire was the ninth. New Hampshire’s action resulted in the formation of the Union; ratification by nine States was required in order to form the Union. After that, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution and became members of the Union. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I am not sure whether the action by the South Carolina convention was unanimous or not. Mr. LANGER. I know the Senator from South Carolina, who has been a very distinguished governor of his State, is very well informed in regard to such matters. Mr. THURMOND. As stated in the book, The Sovereign States— {{smaller block|South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.”}} Then South Carolina added: {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} I construe that declaration to be part of the resolution of ratification, which was not adopted unanimously. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have been glad, Mr. President, to have the Senator from North Dakota ask these questions. Mr. President, a few years ago, when I was a young State senator, I made a commencement address in another county, about 40 miles from my home. The commencement was held in a long school building in which the acoustics were very bad. People in the rear could not hear, and looked as if they were going to sleep—and maybe they were. So I raised my voice, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that I am speaking for the future citizens of South Carolina.” By raising my voice, I woke up the people in the rear of the room; and one fellow rose up, shook his head, and said, “Well, brother, if you speak much longer, they will soon be here, too.” [Laughter.] Mr. President, I feel so good that I believe I could speak quite a long time. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I felt it my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort to emphasize the dangers of this bill. I began speaking at 8:50 last night. It is now 5 minutes after 9. I shall conclude my remarks in a very few minutes. Mr. President, in closing, I desire to remind the Senate that every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote; and the Federal Government has a statute which protects the right to vote. In my opinion, Mr. President, this bill is unconstitutional, for the reasons I have stated during this debate. This so-called compromise, which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives, permits a Federal judge to decide whether he will try one who is charged with criminal contempt, or whether he will permit him to be tried by a jury. The bill further provides a Federal judge with the discretionary power—if he does not try the person without a jury—to decide what punishment he will impose. If he imposes a fine greater than $300 or imprisonment for more than 45 days, the defendant can then demand a jury trial. That process could result in two trials in the case of a defendant charged with criminal contempt. I believe that would be unconstitutional. Under our system of jurisprudence, a man can never be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense. Furthermore, if a judge should find such a person guilty, as a result of the first trial, we can realize what effect that would have on the jury which would be used in the second trial. Mr. President, I should like to remind the Senate of the decision I have cited today, which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That decision says criminal contempt is a crime. The Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The Constitution makes no exceptions. The pending bill, which has come to the Senate from the House of Representatives, has now been amended in such a way that it could not conform to the Constitution. Mr. President, in spite of the great amount of debate and discussion which previously have taken place on the subject of House bill 6127, I felt that this bill was of such importance to the citizens of the United States that it was my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort again to emphasize the dangers of the bill. I have spoken several times on it before. Mr. President, I wish to say that my action was taken entirely on my own volition. I believe that every Senator must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in connection with such matters. I do not believe that the action of any other Senator should be judged according to the action I have taken. Mr. President, if I have helped to bring home to the American people, the citizens of this Nation, the heartfelt conviction which I hold, namely, that this bill is unwise, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, then I shall have done what I believe to be my duty. I should like to believe that some have been convinced by my arguments, and that my arguments have been accepted on the basis on which I intended them to be accepted—as arguments against what I am convinced is bad proposed legislation, proposed legislation which never should have been introduced, and which never should be approved by the Senate. Mr. President, I urge every Member of this body to consider this bill most carefully. I hope the Senate will see fit to kill it. I expect to vote against the bill. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to the officials of the Senate, to those who have come in to listen to this debate, to the various Senators who have listened to this debate from time to time; to the clerks and the attachés, and to all who did everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible during the 24 hours and 22 minutes I have spoken. Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for these courtesies, and again I want to thank the Presiding Officer and the others for their courtesies extended to me, and with this I now give up the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. SMATHERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the rollcall be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. </div> {{PD-USGov}} gvkt804suo2cowvdjj34pxhmlk222lu 12507576 12507573 2022-07-24T23:49:18Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header |title=Strom Thurmond filibuster on the Civil Rights Act of 1957 |author=Strom Thurmond |section= |previous= |next= |year=1957 |notes=Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against certain provisions of the proposed Civil Rights Act of 1957, at 24 hours, 18 minutes in length, was the longest ever given in the U.

Mr. President, earlier this morning we had scheduled speakers for the day, and attempted to estimate the number of speakers. In connection with the next speaker, we had estimated that we would reach him about 9 o’clock. We are running a little ahead of schedule. Therefore, there are no speakers available at this time. We do not desire to have a vote on the bill until every Senator has had an opportunity to express himself, and we do not wish to take advantage of any Senator, or inconvenience any Senator more than is necessary. Therefore I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess until 8:45 p. m. At 8:45 p. m. we will reconvene and I shall suggest the absence of a quorum. I assume that by 9 o’clock the speaker will be ready to proceed. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Texas? There being no objection, the Senate (at 7 o’clock and 38 minutes p. m.) took a recess until 8:45 p. m. {{c|{{asc|AFTER RECESS}}}} On the expiration of the recess, the Senate reassembled, when called to order by the Vice President. Mr. McNAMARA. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum. The VICE PRESIDENT. The Secretary will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. McNAMARA. I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise to speak against the so-called voting-right bill H. R. 6127, which bill was passed by the House of Representatives. It came to the Senate without being referred to a committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar, which is something unusual and out of ordinary procedure. The bill was then amended by the Senate and returned to the House, after which time the House amended it again by adopting what was called a compromise. The compromise as well as the bill is entirely unreasonable, and I hope that the Senate will not pass the bill. There are mainly three reasons why I feel the bill should not be passed. The first is that it is unnecessary. {{c|{{asc|STATE LEGISLATION PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS}}}} Every State has enacted some legislation making it unlawful to intimidate a voter or to hinder him in the exercising of his voting rights. Penalties have been provided for such violations. I now expect to take up the voting laws in each of the 48 States and show that each of the States affords adequate protection to the voting right.

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Clark}} in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Chair cannot hear the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have read the election laws of every State in the Union, from Alabama to Wyoming, showing that the States now have, on their statute books and in their constitutions, provisions to protect the right to vote. The accuracy of the statutes which I have just recited is confirmed by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress. No one can say that any State, from Alabama through Wyoming, does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. The bill before the Senate is called a right-to-vote bill. Why is it called that? Every State has statutes to protect the right to vote. The sovereign States are protecting their citizens in the right to vote. Yet there is a big cry and a big hue about a voting law. As a matter of fact, the only thing that instigated this bill was the desire of both parties, the Democratic and the Republican, to play to minority votes. That is the purpose of the bill. It is purely political. Why do we need a Federal law when every State has a statute to protect the right to vote? And who is in a better position to protect the right to vote than the officials of the States? Suppose the voting laws of all the States were abrogated and violated. Does the Federal Government have a police system which would enable it to send officials into every State to police the election laws of every State? If so, it would change our entire conception of the Government of this Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written in 1789, in Philadelphia. It was ratified by nine Colonies which made them States and created the Union; 2 years later the Bill of Rights was adopted; and in the 10th amendment, which is a part of the Bill of Rights, it is provided that all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. There is nothing in the Constitution that delegates those powers to the Federal Government. Therefore, those rights are reserved to the States, and it is unlawful and unconstitutional for Congress to attempt to pass a law that will set up an administration which will attempt to bring about a policing of all the elections in all the 48 States of this Nation. Some persons say, “Well, the States won’t enforce the voting laws. We have got to have a Federal law. Some States deny the vote to citizens.” I question that. Has there been a single instance brought before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United States and proof presented that anyone has been denied the vote? From my understanding, and from the minority report which was submitted by some members of the Judiciary Committee, that has not been the case. So why does the Federal Government want to enter a field into which it has no constitutional authority to enter? As a matter of fact, the Federal Government already has a statute, I say to those who say the States are not protecting the right to vote. I am wondering if the Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives have overlooked the Federal statute. I shall read that statute, so that Senators can know that we now have a Federal statute to protect the right to vote. I shall read several provisions. The last one is the most applicable, and one on which I shall comment a little more, but I want to start with chapter 29 of title 18 of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. That is the United States Code, Criminal Code, and Criminal Procedure. Chapter 29 is entitled “Elections and Political Activities.” Section 591 reads: {{smaller block|Definitions:}} {{smaller block|When used in sections 597, 599, 602, 609, and 610 of this title—}} {{smaller block|The term “election” includes a general or special election, but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party.}} But under a decision of the Supreme Court, in a case which went up from my own State of South Carolina, it was held that the primary election was a part of the election machinery; and the decision was rendered on that subject. {{smaller block|The term “candidate” means an individual whose name is presented for election as Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress of the United States, whether or not such individual is elected;}} {{smaller block|The term “political committee” includes any committee, association, or organization which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the election of candidates or presidential and vice presidential electors (1) in two or more States, or (2) whether or not in more than one State if such committee, association, or organization (other than a duly organized State or local committee of a political party) is a branch or subsidiary of a national committee, association, or organization;}} {{smaller block|The term “contribution” includes a gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make a contribution, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “expenditure” includes a payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make an expenditure, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “person” or the term “whoever” includes an individual, partnership, committee, association, corporation, and any other organization or group of persons;}} {{smaller block|The term “State” includes Territory and possession of the United States.

This is the way the section reads: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 594. Intimidation of voters.}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} Mr. President, I do not think this statute is constitutional, in section 594, because I think the question is a matter reserved to the States. Since evidently there were people who thought the Federal Government did need to enter this field and who must have felt that it would not be unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enter it, this section was adopted. This section provides, as I have just read, for the punishment of anyone who attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. What is the purpose of the bill now under consideration, H. R. 6127? It is called the right-to-vote bill. The Federal statute here, in section 594 of title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, is just as plain on the subject as it can be. There is the Federal statute on the question of voting. I do not like it, because I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field, but we have the statute, in section 594. If there has been any violation of voting rights in this country, if there has been a single case of any person who claims that he has been intimidated or threatened or coerced to vote, the Federal Government has the power, under that statute, to punish anyone if he is convicted for such offense. Either this statute has not been enforced, if there have been violations, or else there have been no violations. So when the Federal Government asks that another voting law be passed, such as House bill 6127, it is admitting 1 of 2 things: Either there have been no violations of the rights of people to vote, or the Justice Department is not enforcing the law on this subject. I do not see what good it would do to enact another statute. What good would another statute do, if we have a statute already on the books? I have heard of no cases brought under this statute. There must not have been any violations. If there have been violations, the Federal Government has failed to prosecute violators, which it could do under this law. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 595.

That is in the Federal statutes. Again I ask, Why does the Congress need to pass another law when we have a law, a law with teeth in it, a law that provides a punishment of as much as $1,000 or imprisonment for as long as one year, or both? In other words, under this statute, the Federal Government, through the Justice Department, can prosecute any person who intimidates, threatens, or coerces another person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. If we have that kind of law on the books now, why do we need another law? As I stated a few moments ago, I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field. But they have entered this field, and laws on the subject have been enacted. Section 594 gives the Federal Government all the authority it needs to protect the right to vote in any State of this Nation. Section 594 makes provision for specific punishment if anyone violates the section and attempts to deny the right to vote, or threatens, intimidates, or coerces one in his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. So with every State in the Nation having laws on the subject to protect the right to vote, and with the Federal Government having laws on this subject to protect the right to vote, why do we need to pass another bill, another bill which is unconstitutional, another bill which violates the Constitution of the United States? I will come to that later on in my address. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. I am going to take up after a while a decision which shows that criminal contempt is a crime, and if criminal contempt is a crime, then it falls within the category of the provision of the Constitution of the United States which says that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It does not specify by degree. If he is entitled to a jury trial, he is entitled to it. The Senate passed a bill with an amendment providing for jury trial. The bill went back to the House, the House amended it, and added a provision that the judge in his discretion could try the case if the punishment was not over 45 days or a fine of $300. That is not what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not provide that a man is entitled to a jury trial under certain conditions, if the House had fixed the fine at $1 instead of $300 and denied a man the right of a trial by jury, in my opinion it still would have been unconstitutional. I shall develop that more as my address goes on. Mr. President, I shall now take up specific points of the proposed compromise on the jury trial provisions of H. R. 6127, so as to point out the lack of constitutionality of the provisions in connection with contempt of court proceedings. A so-called compromise has been reached among advocates of civil-rights legislation—H. R. 6127—whereby a jury trial would be given in certain criminal contempts of Federal courts. The purpose of this speech is to point out the objectionable features of the proposed compromise and to show conclusively that it is unconstitutional. The proposed jury-trial amendment, being part V of H. R. 6127, reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|PART V—TO PROVIDE TRIAL BY JURY FOR PROCEEDINGS TO PUNISH CRIMINAL CONTEMPTS OF COURT ARISING OUT OF CIVIL-RIGHTS CASES AND TO AMEND THE JUDICIAL CODE RELATING TO FEDERAL JURY QUALIFICATIONS}}}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 151. In all cases of criminal contempt arising under the provisions of this act, the accused, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both: ''Provided, however'', That in case the accused is a natural person the fine to be paid shall not exceed the sum of $1,000, nor shall imprisonment exceed the term of 6 months: ''Provided further'', That in any such proceeding for criminal contempt, at the discretion of the judge, the accused may be tried with or without a jury: ''Provided further, however'', That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of the $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury, which shall conform as near as may be to the practice in other criminal cases.}} {{smaller block|This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders, or process of the court.}} {{smaller block|Nor shall anything herein or in any other provision of law be construed to deprive courts of their power, by civil contempt proceedings, without a jury, to secure compliance with or to prevent obstruction of, as distinguished from punishment for violations of, any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of the court in accordance with the prevailing usages of law and equity, including the power of detention.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 152. Section 1861, title 28, of the United States Code is hereby amended to read as follows:}} {{smaller block|“1861. Qualifications of Federal jurors.}} {{smaller block|“Any citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years and who has resided for a period of 1 year within the judicial district, is competent to serve as a grand or petit juror unless:}} {{smaller block|“(1) He has been convicted in a State or Federal court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty.}} {{smaller block|“(2) He is unable to read, write, speak, and understand the English language.}} {{smaller block|“(3) He is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmities, to render efficient jury service.”}} Mr. President, those are the provisions of the so-called compromise. I wish to have all other Members of the Senate and all other citizens of these United States know just what the compromise provides. First, Mr. President, this amendment is clearly unconstitutional because of vagueness. It is an established principle of constitutional law that crimes must be clearly defined. If this amendment were enacted, persons charged with contempt would be deprived of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th amendment to the Federal Constitution. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under a statute by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. This point is clearly brought out in Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, in the second edition, third volume, at page 1727. Here is what this great authority on the Constitution has to say on this point: {{smaller block|1142. Crimes must be clearly defined.}} {{smaller block|Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under statutes by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. “A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.” ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' (269 U. S. 385).}} The first sentence of the proposed amendment—section 151—refers to criminal contempt and provides for punishment upon conviction. The first ''proviso'' of the first sentence refers to natural persons; and for such natural persons, the fine is limited to $1,000 or—in the alternative—imprisonment is limited to 6 months. This first ''proviso'' is obviously drafted to bring the offense within the present definition of “misdemeanor,” as classified by the Congress in the adoption of title 18 of the United States Code on June 25, 1948. Section 1 of title 18, United States Code, classifies offenses against the United States as follows: {{smaller block|1. Offenses classified:}} {{smaller block|Notwithstanding any act of Congress to the contrary:}} {{smaller block|(1) Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year is a felony.}} {{smaller block|(2) Any other offense is a misdemeanor.}} {{smaller block|(3) Any misdemeanor, the penalty for which does not exceed imprisonment for a period of 6 months or a fine of not more than $500, or both, is a petty offense.}} The second ''proviso'' of the first sentence still refers to criminal contempt, and vests in the Federal district judge the discretion to determine whether the person accused of contempt is to be tried with or without a jury. The third proviso of the first sentence, still referring only to criminal contempts, says that where the district judge proceeds summarily—without benefit of a jury—to convict the accused and fine him or her for more than $300 or imprison him or her for more than 45 days, then the person so convicted—fined or imprisoned—may demand a trial ''de novo''. It is assumed that trial ''de novo'' contemplates a trial anew of the entire controversy, including the hearing of evidence, as though no previous action had been taken. In ''Pittsburgh S. S. Co.'' v. ''Brown'' ((1948 Ct. App. Ill.) 171 Fed. 2d. 175, 177), “trial ''de novo''” is defined as an entirely new trial, but that was a civil case. The term “trial ''de novo''” nowhere appears in criminal cases referred to in volume 42 A, Words and Phrases, 1952 edition or 1957 supplement. The second sentence of the amendment, without any reference to “criminal contempt” or without defining or differentiating between “criminal contempt” and “civil contempt,” proceeds to make the provisions of the first sentence inapplicable to those contempts “committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice” and likewise inapplicable to “misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.” In other words, this second sentence deals with certain “contempts” and with “misbehavior of any officers of the court” and excludes such “contempts” and “misbehavior of any officer of the court” from the provisions of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. In other words, the second sentence says that if any contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice, it is not dealt with in the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. Likewise excluded from coverage by the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127—would be “the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court” in respect to any writ, order, or process of court issued presumably under authority of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. The last sentence of the amendment—section 151—simply tries to restate the proposition now appearing in section 401 of title 18, United States Code, that a court of the United States has power to punish contempts of its authority. However, in restating that proposition, this last sentence refers to “civil contempts,” whereas section 401 refers to “contempt of its”—the court’s—“authority.” Thus we see the last sentence of the amendment, section 151, refers to “civil contempt,” as distinguished from the first sentence, which deals with “criminal contempt.” Nowhere in the amendment is any definition given of either “criminal contempt” or “civil contempt;” nor has Congress ever attempted to draw any such distinction. The sole provision attempting to draw a distinction between criminal and civil contempt is contained in rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in the requirement that the notice with respect to a criminal contempt shall describe it as such. The Advisory Committee on Rules, appointed by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the act of June 29, 1940—Fifty-fourth United States Statutes at Large, page 686—to assist in the preparation of rules of pleading, in their notes indicate that the requirement of notice written into rule 42 (b) was “intended to obviate the frequent confusion between criminal and civil contempt proceedings” pursuant to the suggestion made in ''McCann'' v. ''New York Stock Exchange'' ((2d Cir., 1935) 80 F. 2d 211). See Civil and Criminal Contempt in the Federal Courts, report of Los Angeles Bar Association, 17 Federal Rules Decisions 167–182—1955. The Supreme Court itself has belabored the distinction between civil and criminal contempts. For the Court’s distinction see ''Bessette'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' ((1904) 194 U.S. 324, 328). A contempt statute certainly comes within the due process of law requirements of the Constitution. To substantiate this point, I refer again to Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, page 1727, section 1141. In this section Willoughby points out that a contempt which is not committed in open court does require due process of law for the defendant. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, held on April 13, 1925, that all the guaranties of due process of law are available to a person charged with contempt. ''Cooke'' v. ''United States'' ((1925) 267 U.S. 517.) Thus it is quite clear that the amendment—section 151—as now drafted, would subject a person to criminal prosecution for a statutory offense so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable him to determine whether or not he is committing that offense. ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' ((1926) 269 U. S. 385); ''International Harvester Co.'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 216); ''Collins'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 634). Second. This amendment is unconstitutional, in violation of the fifth amendment prohibiting double jeopardy. That provision of the amendment which permits the accused to be tried a second time by a jury for the same offense following conviction in a summary proceeding violates the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” In ''ex parte'' Grossman the Supreme Court stated that contempt is an “offense” within the meaning of the pardoning power of the President granted in article II, section 2, clause 1 of the enumerated powers of the President. Clause 1 declares the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons of offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Chief Justice Taft in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1925) 267 U. S. 87, 107) quoting ''Myers'' v. ''United States'' ((1924) 264 U. S. 95, 104–105). If contempt is an offense when it comes to the pardoning power of the President, it certainly is an offense under the fifth amendment. Thus reading the language of the amendment—section 151—''in pari materia'' with the decisions in ''ex parte'' Grossman and ''Myers'' against ''United States'', for the Congress to grant a second trial following conviction, with the same defendant, the same charges, and the same evidence, would place the defendant in double jeopardy. The proposal—section 151—even if it were not in violation of the fifth amendment, would place Congress in the position of gambling with the rights of our citizens. Suppose a judge tries a man or woman and finds the person guilty. The press reports this fact to the public and such cases are bound to stir the public interest. The person so convicted is then tried again on the same evidence. Any jury is bound to be influenced. In addition, what basis or standard of conduct is to be the determining factor as to whether the judge imposes the lesser fine or sentence and lets his verdict stand or imposes the greater fine or punishment and moves the case along to a jury trial. There would be no uniformity in the application of the proposed statute—section 151—and the entire procedure would be awkward, cumbersome, and impracticable. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', a note is made of an interruption in Mr. Thurmond’s speech, regarding the results of a special election for a Senator, upon which several pages of the ''Record'' are used to record the reading of documents and the discussion of matters relevant thereto.

However, following this notice, several other parliamentary procedures are maintained, and other matters are dealt with; the ''Record'' then replaces the remainder of Mr. Thurmond’s speech to the records of the succeeding day, beginning on p. 16383. This record begins again from this section.'' Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I now wish to take up Chief Justice Taft’s opinion on jury trials in contempt cases. Considerable has been said about what Chief Justice Taft said concerning contempt and jury trials. Chief Justice Taft was at one time President of the United States, and he was Chief Justice of the United States. He was a great man and a great American. His opinions are highly revered, but some of his opinions have been quoted out of context or when not applicable. I wish to take up at this time his opinions on jury trials in contempt cases. On June 5, 1957, at his White House press conference, President Eisenhower, in answer to a question asked by the National Negro Press Association as to how he stood on the jury-trial amendment to the so-called civil-rights bill, quoted President Taft, as being opposed to a jury trial in contempt cases. President Eisenhower stated that Mr. Taft made this statement when he was President in 1908 and there is no evidence that he ever changed his mind. In the first place the statement was not made by Mr. Taft while President. The statement was made by Mr. Taft in a political speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 28, 1908, in acceptance of the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Taft at the time was Secretary of War. He did not become President until March 4, 1909. In this political speech Mr. Taft also said a trial by jury in contempt cases was never known in the history of the jurisprudence of England, or America, except in the constitution of Oklahoma. See Presidential Addresses and Papers, William H. Taft, 1910 ed., page 26. Also in this speech Mr. Taft said the popular impression that a judge, in punishing for contempt of his own order, may be affected by a personal feeling was unfounded. Did Mr. Taft change his mind when he became Chief Justice? He most assuredly did. He not only changed his mind on the subject of whether jury trials were had at common law in contempt cases but also changed his mind about judges having personal vindictiveness in contempt orders. While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Taft delivered the opinion in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1924) 267 U. S. 87) and cited eight cases at common law to show that in England a jury trial was had in contempt cases. This decision was rendered by him in upholding a pardon granted by President Hoover to a man imprisoned by a United States district judge in Illinois for contempt in a summary proceeding. Chief Justice Taft declared at page 118 of volume 267, United States Reports: {{smaller block|The King of England before our Revolution, in the exercise of his prerogative, had always exercised the power to pardon contempts of court, just as he did ordinary crimes and misdemeanors and as he has done to the present day. In the mind of a common-law lawyer of the 18th century the word pardon included within its scope the ending by the King’s grace of the punishment of such derelictions, whether it was imposed by the court without a jury or upon indictment, for both forms of trial for contempts were had. ''Thomas of Chartham'' v. ''Benet of Stamford'' ((1313), 24 Selden Society, 185); ''Fulwood'' v. ''Fulwood'' ((1585), Toothill, 46); ''Rex'' v. ''Buckenham'' ((1665), 1 Deble 751, 707, 852); Anonymous (1674), Cases in Chancery (238); ''King and Codrington'' v. ''Rodmap'' ((1630), Cr. Car. 198); ''Bartram'' v. ''Dannett'' ((1676), Finch, 253); ''Phipps'' v. ''Earl of Angelsea'' ((1721), 1 Peere Williams, 696).}} In all probability Mr. Taft was induced to recognize the fact that jury trials were customarily had at common law in contempts as a result of research conducted by the distinguished historian of English law, Mr. W. S. Holdsworth. The efforts of this great historian were first made public in 1909 after Mr. Taft had made his earlier statement. Mr. Holdsworth declared that the only cases in which contempts were punished summarily was where the contemnor confessed his guilt. If he did not confess the accused was tried by the ordinary course of law which meant trial by jury. To quote Mr. Holdsworth: {{smaller block|A History of English Law, volume III., pages 392–393. * * * But all through the medieval period, and long afterwards, the courts, though they might attack persons who were guilty of contempts of court, could not punish them summarily. Unless they confessed their guilt, they must be regularly indicted and convicted. Mr. Fox has given a list of 40 cases of various contempts—insults to the judges, an assault on the attorney general, beating jurors, striking a witness, trampling on a writ of prohibition—in all of which the offender was tried by the ordinary course of law. That this was the correct course to pursue was stated by Anderson, C. J., in 1599.}} In another opinion while Chief Justice Mr. Taft changed his mind about the immunity of Federal judges from vindictiveness in issuing contempt orders. On November 19, 1923, in a concurring opinion in ''Craig'' v. ''Hecht'' (263 U. S. 255 at p. 279), the Chief Justice said: {{smaller block|The delicacy there is in the judge’s deciding whether an attack upon his own judicial action is mere criticism or real obstruction, and the possibility that impulse may incline his view to personal vindication, are manifest. But the law gives the person convicted of contempt in such a case the right to have the whole question on facts and law reviewed by three judges of the circuit court of appeals who have had no part in the proceedings, and if not successful in that court, to apply to this Court for an opportunity for a similar review here.}} Mr. President, on June 10, 1957, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of [[Reid v. Covert (354 U.S. 1)|''Reid'' against ''Covert'']]. Since this opinion deals with the question “the right of trial by jury,” I think it is advisable for the Senate to consider this decision of the Supreme Court. I shall read a number of pages from the opinion and a concurring opinion by Justice Frankfurter. Some of the material in this opinion necessarily discusses the background of the cases. However, I believe it appropriate to read this material because it is necessary to a full understanding of this decision which upheld the constitutional right of trial by jury which H. R. 6127 would deny under certain conditions. I read from the opinion of the Court: {{smaller block|SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.'' CLARICE B. COVERT; NINA KINSELLA, WARDEN OF THE FEDERAL REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN, ALDERSON, WEST VIRGINIA, PETITIONER, ''v.'' WALTER KRUEGER, ON REHEARING, JUNE 10, 1957}} {{smaller block|Mr. Justice Black announced the judgment of the Court and delivered an opinion, in which the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan join.}} {{smaller block|These cases raise basic constitutional issues of the utmost concern. They call into question the role of the military under our system of government. They involve the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States thereby depriving them of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. These cases are particularly significant because for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution wives of soldiers have been denied trial by jury in a court of law and forced to trial before courts-martial.}} {{smaller block|In No. 701 Mrs. Clarice Covert killed her husband, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, at an airbase in England. Mrs. Covert, who was not a member of the armed services, was residing on the base with her husband at the time. She was tried by a court-martial for murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The trial was on charges preferred by Air Force personnel and the court-martial was composed of Air Force officers. The court-martial asserted jurisdiction over Mrs. Covert under Article 2 (11) of the UCMJ, which provides:}} {{smaller block|“The following persons are subject to this code:}} {{smaller block|“(11) Subject to the provisions of any treaty or agreement to which the United States is or may be a party or to any accepted rule of international law, all persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces without the continental limits of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|Counsel for Mrs. Covert contended that she was insane at the time she killed her husband, but the military tribunal found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed by the Air Force Board of Reviews (16 CMR 465) but was reversed by the Court of Military Appeals (6 USCMA 48), because of prejudicial errors concerning the defense of insanity. While Mrs. Covert was being held in this country pending a proposed retrial by court-martial in the District of Columbia, her counsel petitioned the district court for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to set her free on the ground that the Constitution forbade her trial by military authorities. Construing this court’s decision in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), as holding that “a civilian is entitled to a civilian trial,” the district court held that Mrs. Covert could not be tried by court-martial and ordered her released from custody. The Government appealed directly to this court under, title 28, United States Code, section 1252. See Three Hundred and Fiftieth United States Reports, page 985.}} {{smaller block|In No. 713 Mrs. Dorothy Smith killed her husband, an Army officer, at a post in Japan where she was living with him. She was tried for murder by a court-martial and despite considerable evidence that she was insane was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The judgment was approved by the Army Board of Review (10 CMR 350, 13 CMR 307), and the Court of Military Appeals (5 USCMA 314). Mrs. Smith was then confined in a Federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Her father, respondent here, filed a petition for ''habeas corpus'' in a district court for West Virginia. The petition charged that the court-martial was without jurisdiction because article 2 (11) of the UCMJ was unconstitutional insofar as it authorized the trial of civilian dependents accompanying servicemen overseas. The district court refused to issue the writ (137 F. Supp. 806), and while an appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit we granted ''certiorari'' at the request of the Government (350 U. S. 986).}} {{smaller block|The two cases were consolidated and argued last term and a majority of the Court, with 3 Justices dissenting and 1 reserving opinion, held that military trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert for their alleged offenses was constitutional. Three hundred and fifty-first United States Reports, page 470, 487. The majority held that the provisions of article III and the fifth and sixth amendments which require that crimes be tried by a jury after indictment by a grand jury did not protect an American citizen when he was tried by the American Government in foreign lands for offenses committed there and that Congress could provide for the trial of such offenses in any manner it saw fit so long as the procedures established were reasonable and consonant with due process. The opinion then went on to express the view that military trials, as now practiced, were not unreasonable or arbitrary when applied to dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces overseas. In reaching their conclusion the majority found it unnecessary to consider the power of Congress “to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces” under article I of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Subsequently, the Court granted a petition for rehearing. Three Hundred and Fifty-second United States Reports, page 901. Now, after further argument and consideration, we conclude that the previous decisions cannot be permitted to stand. We hold that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert could not constitutionally be tried by military authorities.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|I}}}} {{smaller block|At the beginning we reject the idea that when the United States acts against citizens abroad it can do so free of the Bill of Rights. The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution. When the Government reaches out to punish a citizen who is abroad, the shield which the Bill of Rights and other parts of the Constitution provide to protect his life and liberty should not be stripped away just because he happens to be in another land. This is not a novel concept. To the contrary, it is as old as government. It was recognized long before Paul successfully invoked his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in strict accordance with Roman law. And many centuries later an English historian wrote:}} {{smaller block|“In a settled colony the inhabitants have all the rights of Englishmen. They take with them, in the first place, that which no Englishman can by expatriation put off, namely, allegiance to the Crown, the duty of obedience to the lawful commands of the Sovereign, and obedience to the laws which Parliament may think proper to make with reference to such a colony. But, on the other hand, they take with them all the rights and liberties of British subjects; all the rights and liberties as against the prerogative of the Crown, which they would enjoy in this county.”}} {{smaller block|The rights and liberties which citizens of our country enjoy are not protected by custom and tradition alone, they have been jealously preserved from the encroachments of Government by express provisions of our written Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Among those provisions, article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments are directly relevant to these cases. Article III, section 2, lays down the rule that—}} {{smaller block|“The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth amendment declares:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|And the sixth amendment provides:}} {{smaller block|“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”}} {{smaller block|The language of article III, section 2, manifests that constitutional protections for the individual were designed to restrict the United States Government when it acts outside of this country, as well as here at home. After declaring that all criminal trials must be by jury, the section states that when a crime is “not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” If this language is permitted to have its obvious meaning, section 2 is applicable to criminal trials outside of the States as a group without regard to where the offense is committed or the trial held. From the very first Congress, Federal statutes have implemented the provisions of section 2 by providing for trial of murder and other crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of any State “in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may first be brought.” The fifth and sixth amendments, like article III, section 2, are also all inclusive with their sweeping references to “no person” and to “all criminal prosecutions.”}} {{smaller block|This Court and other Federal courts have held or asserted that various constitutional limitations apply to the Government when it acts outside the continental United States. While it has been suggested that only those constitutional rights which are “fundamental” protect Americans abroad, we can find no warrant, in logic or otherwise, for picking and choosing among the remarkable collection of “Thou shalt nots” which were explicitly fastened on all departments and agencies of the Federal Government by the Constitution and its amendments. Moreover, in view of our heritage and the history of the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it seems peculiarly anomalous to say that trial before a civilian judge and by an independent jury picked from the common citizenry are not fundamental rights. As Blackstone wrote in his Commentaries:}} {{smaller block|“The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * [I]t is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals.”}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} {{smaller block|The keystone of supporting authorities mustered by the Court’s opinion last June to justify its holding that article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments did not apply abroad was ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). The Ross case is one of those cases that cannot be understood except in its peculiar setting; even then, it seems highly unlikely that a similar result would be reached to-day. Ross was serving as a seaman on an American ship in Japanese waters. He killed a ship’s officer, was seized and tried before a consular court in Japan. At that time, statutes authorized American consuls to try American citizens charged with committing crimes in Japan and certain other non-Christian countries. These statutes provided that the laws of the United States were to govern the trial except:}} {{smaller block|“Where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.”}} {{smaller block|The consular power approved in the Ross case was about as extreme and absolute as that of the potentates of the non-Christian countries to which the statutes applied. Under these statutes consuls could and did make the criminal laws, initiate charges, arrest alleged offenders, try them, and after conviction take away their liberty or their life—sometimes at the American consulate. Such a blending of executive, legislative, and judicial powers in one person or even in one branch of the Government is ordinarily regarded as the very acme of absolutism. Nevertheless, the Court sustained Ross’ conviction by the consul. It stated that constitutional protections applied “only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad.” Despite the fact that it upheld Ross’ conviction under United States laws passed pursuant to asserted constitutional authority, the Court went on to make a sweeping declaration that “[t]he Constitution can have no operation in another country.”}} {{smaller block|The Ross approach that the Constitution has no applicability abroad has long since been directly repudiated by numerous cases. That approach is obviously erroneous if the United States Government, which has no power except that granted by the Constitution, can and does try citizens for crimes committed abroad. Thus the Ross case rested, at least in substantial part, on a fundamental misconception and the most that can be said in support of the result reached there is that the consular court jurisdiction had a long history antedating the adoption of the Constitution. The Congress has recently buried the consular system of trying Americans. We are not willing to jeopardize the lives and liberties of Americans by disinterring it. At best, the Ross case should be left as a relic from a different era.}} {{smaller block|The Court’s opinion last term also relied on the Insular Cases to support its conclusion that article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments were not applicable to the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. We believe that reliance was misplaced.}} {{smaller block|The Insular Cases can be distinguished from the present cases in that they involved the power of Congress to provide rules and regulations to govern temporarily territories with wholly dissimilar traditions and institutions whereas here the basis for governmental power is American citizenship. None of these cases had anything to do with military trials and they cannot properly be used as vehicles to support an extension of military jurisdiction to civilians. Moreover, it is our judgment that neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our Government. If our foreign commitments become of such nature that the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority, or inclination, to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|II}}}} {{smaller block|At the time of Mrs. Covert’s alleged offense, an executive agreement was in effect between the United States and Great Britain which permitted United States military courts to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over offenses committed in Great Britain by American servicemen or their dependents. For its part, the United States agreed that these military courts would be willing and able to try and to punish all offenses against the laws of Great Britain by such persons. In all material respects, the same situation existed in Japan when Mrs. Smith killed her husband. Even though a court-martial does not give an accused trial by jury and other Bill of Rights protections, the Government contends that section 2(11) of the UCMJ, insofar as it authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces in Great Britain and Japan, can be sustained as legislation which is necessary and proper to carry out the United States obligations under the international agreements made with those countries. The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI., the supremacy clause of the Constitution, declares:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.”}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in article VI. make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in pursuance of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe article VI. as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and the Senate combined.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. For example, in ''Geofroy'' v. ''Riggs'' (133 U. S. 258, 267), it declared:}} {{smaller block|“The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the Government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the Government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.”}} {{smaller block|This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in ''Missouri'' v. ''Holland'' (252 U. S. 416), which is contrary to the position taken here. There the Court carefully noted that the treaty involved was not inconsistent with any specific provision of the Constitution. The Court was concerned with the 10th amendment which reserves to the States or the people all power not delegated to the National Government. To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their power to the National Government and the 10th amendment is no barrier.}} {{smaller block|In summary, we conclude that the Constitution in its entirety applied to the trials of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. Since their court-martial did not meet the requirements of article III., section 2, or the fifth and sixth amendments, we are compelled to determine if there is anything within the Constitution which authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces overseas.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|III}}}} {{smaller block|Article I., section 8, clause 14, empowers Congress “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” It has been held that this creates an exception to the normal method of trial in civilian courts as provided by the Constitution and permits Congress to authorize military trial of members of the armed services without all the safeguards given an accused by article III. and the Bill of Rights. But if the language of clause 14 is given its natural meaning, the power granted does not extend to civilians—even though they may be dependents living with servicemen on a military base. The term “land and naval forces” refers to persons who are members of the armed services and not to their civilian wives, children, and other dependents. It seems inconceivable that Mrs. Covert or Mrs. Smith could have been tried by military authorities as members of the land and naval forces had they been living on a military post in this country. Yet this constitutional term surely has the same meaning everywhere. The wives of servicemen are no more members of the land and naval forces when living at a military post in England or Japan than when living at a base in this country or in Hawaii or Alaska.}} {{smaller block|The Government argues that the necessary and proper clause, when taken in conjunction with clause 14, allows Congress to authorize the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert by military tribunals and under military law. The Government claims that the two clauses together constitute a broad grant of power without limitation authorizing Congress to subject all persons, civilians and soldiers alike, to military trial if necessary and proper to govern and regulate the land and naval forces. It was on a similar theory that Congress once went to the extreme of subjecting persons who made contracts with the military to court-martial jurisdiction with respect to frauds related to such contracts. In the only judicial test a Circuit Court held that the legislation was patently unconstitutional. ''Ex parte'' Henderson (11 Fed. Cas. 1067, No. 6349).}} {{smaller block|It is true that the Constitution expressly grants Congress power to make all rules necessary and proper to govern and regulate those persons who are serving in the land and naval forces. But the necessary and proper clause cannot operate to extend military jurisdiction to any group of persons beyond that class described in clause 14—“the land and naval forces.” Under the grand design of the Constitution civilian courts are the normal repositories of power to try persons charged with crimes against the United States. And to protect persons brought before these courts, article III. and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments establish the right to trial by jury, by indictment by a grand jury, and a number of other specific safeguards. By way of contrast the jurisdiction of military tribunals is a very limited and extraordinary jurisdiction derived from the cryptic language in article I., section 8, and, at most, was intended to be only a narrow exception to the normal and preferred method of trial in courts of law. Every extension of military jurisdiction is an encroachment on the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and, more important, acts as a deprivation of the right to jury trial and of other treasured constitutional protections. Having run up against the steadfast bulwark of the Bill of Rights, the necessary and proper clause cannot extend the scope of clause 14.}} {{smaller block|Nothing said here contravenes the rule laid down in ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, at 421), that:}} {{smaller block|“Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.”}} {{smaller block|In McCulloch this Court was confronted with the problem of determining the scope of the necessary and proper clause in a situation where no specific restraints on governmental power stood in the way. Here the problem is different. Not only does clause 14, by its terms, limit military jurisdiction to members of the land and naval forces, but article III., section 2 and the fifth and sixth amendments require that certain express safeguards, which were designed to protect persons from oppressive governmental practices, shall be given in criminal prosecutions—safeguards which cannot be given in a military trial. In the light of these as well as other constitutional provisions, and the historical background in which they were formed, military trial of civilians is inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the constitution.}} {{smaller block|Further light is reflected on the scope of clause 14 by the fifth amendment. That amendment which was adopted shortly after the Constitution reads:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|Since the exception in this amendment for cases arising in the land or naval forces was undoubtedly designed to correlate with the power granted Congress to provide for the government and regulation of the armed services, it is a persuasive and reliable indication that the authority conferred by clause 14 does not encompass persons who cannot fairly be said to be in the military service.}} {{smaller block|Even if it were possible, we need not attempt here to precisely define the boundary between civilians and members of the land and naval forces. We recognize that there might be circumstances where a person could be in the armed services for purposes of clause 14 even though he had not formally been inducted into the military or did not wear a uniform. But the wives, children, and other dependents of servicemen cannot be placed in that category, even though they may be accompanying a serviceman abroad at Government expense and receiving other benefits from the Government. We have no difficulty in saying that such persons do not lose their civilian status and their right to a civilian trial because the Government helps them live as members of a soldier’s family.}} {{smaller block|The tradition of keeping the military subordinate to civilian authority may not be so strong in the minds of this generation as it was in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. The idea that the relatives of soldiers could be denied a jury trial in a court of law and instead be tried by courts-martial under the guise of regulating the Armed Forces would have seemed incredible to those men, in whose lifetime the right of the military to try soldiers for any offenses in time of peace had only been grudgingly conceded. The founders envisioned the Army as a necessary institution, but one dangerous to liberty if not confined within its essential bounds. Their fears were rooted in history. They knew that ancient republics had been overthrown by their military leaders. They were familiar with the history of 17th century England, where Charles I. tried to govern through the army and without Parliament. During this attempt, contrary to the common law, he used courts-martial to try soldiers for certain nonmilitary offenses. This court-martialing of soldiers in peacetime evoked strong protests from Parliament. The reign of Charles I. was followed by the rigorous military rule of Oliver Cromwell. Later, James II. used the army in his fight against Parliament and the people. He promulgated articles of war (strangely enough relied on in the Government’s brief) authorizing the trial of soldiers for nonmilitary Crimes by courts-martial. This action hastened the revolution that brought William and Mary to the throne upon their agreement to abide by a bill of rights which, among other things, protected the right of trial by jury. It was against this general background that two of the greatest English jurists, Lord Chief Justice Hale and Sir William Blackstone—men who exerted considerable influence on the founders—expressed sharp hostility to any expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. For instance, Blackstone went so far as to assert:}} {{smaller block|“For martial law, which is built upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Hale observes, in truth and reality no law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the {{SIC|ony|only}} thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.”}} {{smaller block|The generation that adopted the Constitution did not distrust the military because of past history alone. Within their own lives they had seen royal governors sometimes resort to military rule. British troops were quartered in Boston at various times from 1768 until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War to support unpopular royal governors and to intimidate the local populace. The trial of soldiers by courts-martial and the interference of the military with the civil courts aroused great anxiety and antagonism not only in Massachusetts but throughout the colonies. For example, Samuel Adams in 1768 wrote:}} {{smaller block|“[I]s it not enough for us to have seen soldiers and mariners forejudged of life, and executed within the body of the county by martial law? Are citizens to be called upon, threatened, ill-used at the will of the soldiery, and put under arrest, by pretext of the law military, in breach of the fundamental rights of subjects, and contrary to the law and franchise of the land? * * * Will the spirits of people as yet unsubdued by tyranny, unawed by the menaces of arbitrary power, submit to be governed by military force? No! Let us rouse our attention to the common law—which is our birthright, our great security against all kinds of insult and oppression.”}} {{smaller block|Colonials had also seen the right to trial by jury subverted by acts of Parliament which authorized courts of admiralty to try alleged violations of the unpopular Molasses and Navigation Acts. This gave the admiralty courts jurisdiction over offenses historically triable only by a jury in a court of law and aroused great resentment throughout the colonies. As early as 1765 delegates from nine colonies meeting in New York asserted in a declaration of rights that trial by jury was the inherent and invaluable right of every citizen in the colonies.}} {{smaller block|With this background it is not surprising that the Declaration of Independence protested that George III. had affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power and that Americans had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. And those who adopted the Constitution embodied their profound fear and distrust of military power, as well as their determination to protect trial by jury, in the Constitution and its amendments. Perhaps they were aware that memories fade and hoped that in this way they could keep the people of this Nation from having to fight again and again the same old battles for individual freedom.}} {{smaller block|In the light of this history, it seems clear that the founders had no intention to permit the trial of civilians in military courts, where they would be denied jury trials and other constitutional protections, merely by giving Congress the power to make rules which were necessary and proper for the regulation of the land and naval forces. Such a latitudinarian interpretation of these clauses would be at war with the well-established purpose of the founders to keep the military strictly within its proper sphere, subordinate to civil authority. The Constitution does not say that Congress can regulate the land and naval forces and all other persons whose regulation might have some relationship to maintenance of the land and naval forces. There is no indication that the founders contemplated setting up a rival system of military courts to compete with civilian courts for jurisdiction over civilians who might have some contact or relationship with the Armed Forces. Courts-martial were not to have concurrent jurisdiction with courts of law over nonmilitary America.}} {{smaller block|On several occasions this Court has been faced with an attempted expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. ''Ex parte'' Milligan (4 Wall. 2), one of the great landmarks in this Court’s history, held that military authorities were without power to try civilians not in the military or naval service by declaring martial law in an area where the civil administration was not deposed and the courts were not closed. In a stirring passage the Court proclaimed:}} {{smaller block|“Another guaranty of freedom was broken when Milligan was denied a trial by jury. The great minds of the country have differed on the correct interpretation to be given to various provisions of the Federal Constitution; and judicial decision has been often invoked to settle their true meaning; but until recently no one ever doubted that the right of trial by jury was fortified in the organic law against the power of attack. It is now assailed; but if ideas can be expressed in words, and language has any meaning, this right—one of the most valuable in a free country—is preserved to everyone accused of crime who is not attached to the Army, or Navy, or militia in actual service.”}} {{smaller block|In ''Duncan'' v. ''Kahanamoku'' (327 U. S. 304), the Court reasserted the principles enunciated in ''Ex parte'' Milligan and reaffirmed the tradition of military subordination to civil authorities and institutions. It refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during wartime despite Government claims that the needs of defense made martial law imperative.}} {{smaller block|Just last term, this Court held in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), that military courts could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense which he had allegedly committed while in the Armed Forces. It was decided (1) that since Toth was a civilian he could not be tried by military court-martial, and (2) that since he was charged with murder, a crime in the constitutional sense, he was entitled to indictment by a grand jury, jury trial, and the other protections contained in article III., section 2 and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. The Court pointed out that trial by civilian courts was the rule for persons who were not members of the Armed Forces.}} {{smaller block|There are no supportable grounds upon which to distinguish the ''Toth'' case from the present cases. Toth, Mrs. Covert, and Mrs. Smith were all civilians. All three were American citizens. All three were tried for murder. All three alleged crimes were committed in a foreign country. The only differences were: (1) Toth was an exserviceman while they were wives of soldiers; (2) Toth was arrested in the United States while they were seized in foreign countries. If anything, Toth had closer connection with the military than the two women for his crime was committed while he was actually serving in the Air Force. Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith had never been members of the Army, had never been employed by the Army, had never served in the Army in any capacity. The Government appropriately argued in Toth that the constitutional basis for court-martialing him was clearer than for court-martialing wives who are accompanying their husbands abroad. Certainly Toth’s conduct as a soldier bears a closer relation to the maintenance of order and discipline in the Armed Forces than the conduct of these wives. The fact that Toth was arrested here while the wives were arrested in foreign countries is material only if constitutional safeguards do not shield a citizen abroad when the Government exercises its power over him. As we have said before, such a view of the Constitution is erroneous. The mere fact that these women had gone overseas with their husbands should not reduce the protection the Constitution gives them.}} {{smaller block|The Milligan, ''Duncan'', and ''Toth'' cases recognized and manifested the deeply rooted and ancient opposition in this country to the extension of military control over civilians. In each instance an effort to expand the jurisdiction of military courts to civilians was repulsed.}} {{smaller block|There have been a number of decisions in the lower Federal courts which have upheld military trial of civilians performing services for the Armed Forces in the field during time of war. To the extent that these cases can be justified, insofar as they involved trial of persons who were not members of the Armed Forces, they must rest on the Government’s war powers. In the face of an actively hostile enemy, military commanders necessarily have broad power over persons on the battlefront. From a time prior to the adoption of the Constitution the extraordinary circumstances present in an area of actual fighting have been considered sufficient to permit punishment of some civilians in that area by military courts under military rules. But neither Japan nor Great Britain could properly be said to be an area where active hostilities were underway at the time Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert committed their offenses or at the time they were tried.}} {{smaller block|The Government urges that the concept in the field should be broadened to reach dependents accompanying the military forces overseas under the conditions of world tension which exist at the present time. It points out how the war powers include authority to prepare defenses and to establish our military forces in defensive posture about the world. While we recognize that the war powers of the Congress and the Executive are broad, we reject the Government’s argument that present threats to peace permit military trial of civilians accompanying the Armed Forces overseas in an area where no actual hostilities are underway. The exigencies which have required military rule on the battlefront are not present in areas where no conflict exists. Military trial of civilians in the field is an extraordinary jurisdiction, and it should not be expanded at the expense of the Bill of Rights. We agree with Colonel Winthrop, an expert on military jurisdiction, who declared: “A statute cannot be framed by which a civilian can lawfully be made amenable to the military jurisdiction in time of peace.”}} {{smaller block|As this Court stated in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), the business of soldiers is to fight and prepare to fight wars, not to try civilians for their alleged crimes. Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions, and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks. Because of its very nature and purpose the military must place great emphasis on discipline and efficiency. Correspondingly, there has always been less emphasis in the military on protecting the rights of the individual than in civilian society and in civilian courts.}} {{smaller block|Courts-martial are typically ''ad hoc'' bodies appointed by a military officer from among his subordinates. They have always been subject to varying degrees of command influence. In essence, these tribunals are simply executive tribunals whose personnel are in the executive chain of command. Frequently, the members of the court-martial must look to the appointing officer for promotions, advantageous assignments, and efficiency ratings—in short, for their future progress in the service. Conceding to military personnel that high degree of honesty and sense of justice which nearly all of them undoubtedly have, the members of a court-martial, in the nature of things, do not and cannot have the independence of jurors drawn from the general public or of civilian judges.}} {{smaller block|We recognize that a number of improvements have been made in military justice recently by engrafting more and more of the methods of civilian courts on courts-martial. In large part these ameliorations stem from the reaction of civilians, who were inducted during the two World Wars, to their experience with military justice. Notwithstanding the recent reforms, military trial does not give an accused the same protection which exists in the civil courts. Looming far above all other deficiencies of the military trial, of course, are the absence of trial by jury before an independent judge after an indictment by a grand jury. Moreover, the reforms are merely statutory; Congress—and perhaps the President—can reinstate former practices, subject to any limitations imposed by the Constitution, whenever it desires. As yet it has not been clearly settled to what extent the Bill of Rights and other protective parts of the Constitution apply to military trials.}} {{smaller block|It must be emphasized that every person who comes within the jurisdiction of courts-martial is subject to military law—law that is substantially different from the law which governs civilian society. Military law is, in many respects, harsh law which is frequently cast in very sweeping and vague terms. It emphasizes the iron hand of discipline more that it does the even scales of justice. Moreover, it has not yet been definitely established to what extent the President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, or his delegates, can promulgate, supplement, or change substantive military law as well as the procedures of military courts in time of peace, or in time of war. In any event, Congress has given the President broad discretion to provide the rules governing military trials. For example, in these very cases a technical manual issued under the President’s name with regard to the defense of insanity in military trials was of critical importance in the convictions of Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith. If the President can provide rules of substantive law as well as procedure, then he and his military subordinates exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers with respect to those subject to military trials. Such blending of functions in one branch of the Government is the objectionable thing which the draftsmen of the Constitution endeavored to prevent by providing for the separation of governmental powers.}} {{smaller block|In summary, “it still remains true that military tribunals have not been and probably never can be constituted in such way that they can have the same kind of qualifications that the Constitution has deemed essential to fair trials of civilians in Federal courts.” In part this is attributable to the inherent differences in values and attitudes that separate the Military Establishment from civilian society. In the military, by necessity, emphasis must be placed on the security and order of the group rather than on the value and integrity of the individual.}} {{smaller block|It is urged that the expansion of military jurisdiction over civilians claimed here is only slight, and that the practical necessity for it is very great. The attitude appears to be that a slight encroachment on the Bill of Rights and other safeguards in the Constitution need cause little concern. But to hold that these wives could be tried by the military would be a tempting precedent. Slight encroachments create new boundaries from which legions of power can seek new territory to capture. “It may be that it is the obnoxious thing in its mildest and least repulsive form; but illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing in that way; namely, by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal modes of procedure. This can only be obviated by adhering to the rule that constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. A close and literal construction deprives them of half their efficacy, and leads to gradual depreciation of the right, as if it consisted more in sound than in substance. It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.” Moreover we cannot consider this encroachment a slight one. Throughout history many transgressions by the military have been called slight and have been justified as reasonable in light of the uniqueness of the times. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that today the peoples of many nations are ruled by the military.}} {{smaller block|We should not break faith with this Nation’s tradition of keeping military power subservient to civilian authority, a tradition which we believe is firmly embodied in the Constitution. The country has remained true to that faith for almost 170 years. Perhaps no group in the Nation has been truer than military men themselves. Unlike the soldiers of many other nations, they have been content to perform their military duties in defense of the Nation in every period of need and to perform those duties well without attempting to usurp power which is not theirs under our system of constitutional government.}} {{smaller block|Ours is a Government of divided authority on the assumption that in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny. And under our Constitution courts of law alone are given power to try civilians for their offenses against the United States. The philosophy expressed by Lord Coke, speaking long ago from a wealth of experience, is still timely:}} {{smaller block|“God send me never to live under the law of conveniency or discretion.

The normal method of trial of Federal offenses under the Constitution is in a civilian tribunal. Trial of offenses by way of court-martial, with all the characteristics of its procedure so different from the forms and safeguards of procedure in the conventional courts, is an exercise of exceptional jurisdiction, arising from the power granted to Congress in article I., section 8, clause 14, of the Constitution of the United States—“To make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” ''Dynes'' v. ''Hoover'', (20 How. 65); see ''Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11); Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d ed. 1896), 52. Article 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64th United States Statutes at Large, pages 107, 109, title 50, United States Code, section 532, and its predecessors were passed as an exercise of that power, and the agreements with England and Japan recognized that the jurisdiction to be exercised under those agreements was based on the relation of the persons involved to the military forces. See the agreement with Great Britain (57 Stat. 1193, E. A. S. No. 355) and the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act (1942, 5 and 6 Geo. 6, ch. 31); and the 1952 administrative agreement with Japan (3 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 3341, T. I. A. S. No. 2492).}} {{smaller block|Trial by court-martial is constitutionally permissible only for persons who can, on a fair appraisal, be regarded as falling within the authority given to Congress under article I. to regulate the “land and naval forces,” and who therefore are not protected by specific provisions of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. It is, of course, true that, at least regarding the right to a grand-jury indictment, the fifth amendment is not unmindful of the demands of military discipline. Within the scope of appropriate construction, the phrase “except in cases arising in the land and naval forces” has been assumed also to modify the guaranties of speedy and public trial by jury. And so, the problem before us is not to be answered by recourse to the literal words of this exception. The cases cannot be decided simply by saying that since these women were not in uniform, they were not “in the land and naval forces.” The Court’s function in constitutional adjudications is not exhausted by a literal reading of words. It may be tiresome, but it is nonetheless vital, to keep our judicial minds fixed on the injunction that “it is a Constitution we are expounding.” ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, 407). Although Winthrop in his treatise states that the Constitution “clearly distinguishes the military from the civil class as separate communities” and “recognizes no third class which is part civil and part military—military for a particular purpose or in a particular situation, and civil for all other purposes and in all other situations. * * *” Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d edition 1896), 145, this Court, applying appropriate methods of constitutional interpretation, has long held, and in a variety of situations, that in the exercise of a power specifically granted to it, Congress may sweep in what may be necessary to make effective the explicitly worded power. See ''Jacob Ruppert'' v. ''Caffey'' (251 U. S. 264) especially 289 and following; ''Purity Extract Co.'' v. ''Lynch'' (226 U. S. 192, 201); ''Railroad Commission'' v. ''Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy R. Co.'' (257 U. S. 563, 588). This is the significance of the necessary and proper clause, which is not to be considered so much a separate clause in article I., section 8, as an integral part of each of the preceding 17 clauses. Only thus may be avoided a strangling literalness in construing a document that is not an enumeration of static rules, but the living framework of Government designed for an undefined future. ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316); ''Hurtado'' v. ''California'' (110 U. S. 516, 530–531).}} {{smaller block|Everything that may be deemed, as the exercise of an allowable judgment by Congress, to fall fairly within the conception conveyed by the power given to Congress “to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” is constitutionally within that legislative grant and not subject to revision by the independent judgment of the Court. To be sure, every event or transaction that bears some relation to “the land and naval forces” does not ''ipso facto'' come within the tolerant conception of that legislative grant. The issue in these cases involves regard for considerations not dissimilar to those involved in a determination under the due process clause. Obviously, the practical situations before us bear some relation to the military. Yet the question for this Court is not merely whether the relation of these women to the “land and naval forces” is sufficiently close to preclude the necessity of finding that Congress has been arbitrary in its selection of a particular method of trial. For although we must look to article I., section 8, clause 14, as the immediate justifying power, it is not the only clause of the Constitution to be taken into account. The Constitution is an organic scheme of government to be dealt with as an entirety. A particular provision cannot be dissevered from the rest of the Constitution. Our conclusion in these cases therefore must take due account of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must weigh all the factors involved in these cases in order to decide whether these women dependents are so closely related to what Congress may allowably deem essential for the effective “government and regulations of the land and naval forces” that they may be subjected to court-martial jurisdiction in these capital cases, when the consequence is loss of the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|We are not concerned here even with the possibility of some alternative nonmilitary type of trial that does not contain all the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must judge only what has been enacted and what is at issue. It is the power actually asserted by Congress under article I., section 8, clause 14, that must now be adjudged in the light of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. In making this adjudication, I must emphasize that it is only the trial of civilian dependents in a capital case in time of peace that is in question. The Court has not before it, and therefore I need not intimate any opinion on, situations involving civilians, in the sense of persons not having a military status, other than dependents. Nor do we have before us a case involving a noncapital crime. This narrow delineation of the issue is merely to respect the important restrictions binding on the Court when passing on the constitutionality of an act of Congress. “In the exercise of that jurisdiction, it is bound by two rules, to which it has rigidly adhered, one, never to anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it; the other never to formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied. These rules are safe guides to sound judgment. It is the dictate of wisdom to follow them closely and carefully.” ''Steamship Co.'' v. ''Emigration Commissioners'' (113 U. S. 33, 39).}} {{smaller block|We are also not concerned here with the substantive aspects of the grant of power to Congress to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces. What conduct should be punished and what constitutes a capital case are matters for Congressional discretion, always subject, of course, to any specific restrictions of the Constitution. These cases involve the validity of procedural conditions for determining the commission of a crime in fact punishable by death. The taking of life is irrevocable. It is in capital cases especially that the balance of conflicting interests must be weighted most heavily in favor of the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Thus, in ''Powell'' v. ''Alabama'' (287 U. S. 45, 71), the fact “above all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives” led the Court to conclude that the defendants had been denied due process by the failure to allow them reasonable time to seek counsel and the failure to appoint counsel. I repeat. I do not mean to imply that the considerations that are controlling in capital cases involving civilian dependents are constitutionally irrelevant in capital cases involving civilians other than dependents or in noncapital cases involving dependents or other civilians. I do say that we are dealing here only with capital cases and civilian dependents.}} {{smaller block|The Government asserts that civilian dependents are an integral part of our Armed Forces overseas and that there is substantial military necessity for subjecting them to court-martial jurisdiction. The Government points out that civilian dependents go abroad under military auspices, live with military personnel in a military community, enjoy the privileges of military facilities, and that their conduct inevitably tends to influence military discipline.}} {{smaller block|The prosecution by court-martial for capital crimes committed by civilian dependents of members of the Armed Forces abroad is hardly to be deemed; under modern conditions, obviously appropriate to the effective exercise of the power to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces when it is a question of deciding what power is granted under article I. and, therefore, what restriction is made on article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. I do not think that the proximity, physical and social, of these women to the land and naval forces is, with due regard to all that has been put before us, so clearly demanded by the effective Government and regulation of those forces as reasonably to demonstrate a justification for court-martial jurisdiction over capital offenses.}} {{smaller block|The Government speaks of the “great potential impact on military discipline” of these accompanying civilian dependents. This cannot be denied, nor should its implications be minimized. But the notion that discipline over military personnel is to be furthered by subjecting their civilian dependents to the threat of capital punishment imposed by court-martial is too hostile to the reasons that underlie the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights for those safeguards to be displaced. It is true that military discipline might be affected seriously if civilian dependents could commit murders and other capital crimes with impunity. No one, however, challenges the availability to Congress of a power to provide for trial and punishment of these dependents for such crimes. The method of trial alone is in issue. The Government suggests that if trial in an article III. court subject to the restrictions of the fifth and sixth amendments is the only alternative, such a trial could not be held abroad practicably, and it would often be equally impracticable to transport all the witnesses back to the United States for trial. But although there is no need to pass on that issue in this case, trial in the United States is obviously not the only practical alternative and other alternatives may raise different constitutional questions. The Government’s own figures for the Army show that the total number of civilians (all civilians serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces overseas and not merely civilian dependents) for whom general courts-martial for alleged murder were deemed advisable was only 13 in the 7 fiscal years, 1950–56. It is impossible to ascertain from the figures supplied to us exactly how many persons were tried for other capital offenses, but the figures indicate that there could not have been many. There is nothing to indicate that the figures for the other services are more substantial. It thus appears to be a manageable problem within the procedural restrictions found necessary by this opinion.}} {{smaller block|A further argument is made that a decision adverse to the Government would mean that only a foreign trial could be had. Even assuming that the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, (4 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 1792, T. I. A. S. No. 2846) covering countries where a large part of our Armed Forces are stationed, gives jurisdiction to the United States only through its military authorities, this court cannot speculate that any given nation would be unwilling to grant or continue such extraterritorial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in capital cases if they were to be tried by some other manner than court-martial. And even if such were the case, these civilian dependents would then merely be in the same position as are so many Federal employees and their dependents and other United States citizens who are subject to the laws of foreign nations when residing there. See also the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, ''supra'', article VII., sections 2, 3.}} {{smaller block|The Government makes the final argument that these civilian dependents are part of the United States military contingent abroad in the eyes of the foreign nations concerned and that their conduct may have a profound effect on our relations with these countries, with a consequent effect on the Military Establishment there. But the argument that military courts-martial in capital cases are necessitated by this factor assumes either that a military court-martial constitutes a stronger deterrent to this sort of conduct or that in the absence of such a trial no punishment would be meted out and our foreign policy thereby injured. The reasons why these considerations carry no conviction have already been indicated.}} {{smaller block|I therefore conclude that in capital cases the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in time of peace cannot be justified by article I., considered in connection with the specific protections of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|Since the conclusion thus reached differs from what the Court decided last term, a decent respect for the judicial process calls for reexamination of the two grounds that then prevailed. The court sustained its action on the authority of the cases dealing with the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for the territories, reinforced by ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453), in which this Court, in 1891, sustained the criminal jurisdiction of a consular court in Japan. These authorities grew out of, and related to, specific situations very different from those now here. They do not control or even embarrass the problem before us.}} {{smaller block|Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific judicial origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the purposes they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots. Doctrines like those expressed by the Ross case and the series of cases beginning with ''American Insurance Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511), must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion. “If a precedent involving a black horse is applied to a case involving a white horse, we are not excited. If it were an elephant or an animal ''ferae naturae'' or a chose in action, then we would venture into thought. The difference might make a difference. We really are concerned about precedents chiefly when their facts differ somewhat from the facts in the case at bar. Then there is a gulf or hiatus that has to be bridged by a concern for principle and a concern for practical results and practical wisdom.” Thomas Reed Powell, Vagaries and Varieties in Constitutional Interpretation 36. This attitude toward precedent underlies the whole system of our case law. It was thus summarized by Mr. Justice Brandeis: “It is a peculiar virtue of our system of law that the process of inclusion and exclusion, so often employed in developing a rule, is not allowed to end with its enunciation and that an expression in an opinion yields later to the impact of facts unforeseen.” ''Jaybird Mining Co.'' v. ''Weir'' (271 U. S. 609, 619 (dissenting)). Especially is this attitude to be observed in constitutional controversies.}} {{smaller block|The Territorial cases relied on by the Court last term held that certain specific constitutional restrictions on the Government did not automatically apply in the acquired Territories of Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, or Puerto Rico. In these cases, the Court drew its decisions from the power of Congress to “make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory * * * belonging to the United States,” for which provision is made in article IV., section 3. The United States from time to time acquired lands in which many of our laws and customs found an uncongenial soil because they ill accorded with the history and habits of their people. Mindful of all relevant provisions of the Constitution and not allowing one to frustrate another—which is the guiding thought of this opinion—the Court found it necessary to read article IV., section 3 together with the fifth and sixth amendments and article III. in the light of those circumstances. The question arose most frequently with respect to the establishment of trial by jury in possessions in which such a system was wholly without antecedents. The Court consistently held with respect to such Territory that Congressional power under article IV., section 3 was not restricted by the requirement of article III., section 2, clause 3, and the sixth amendment of providing trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|“If the right to trial by jury were a fundamental right which goes wherever the jurisdiction of the United States extends; or if Congress, in framing laws for outlying territory belonging to the United States, was obliged to establish that system by affirmative legislation, it would follow that, no matter what the needs or capacities of the people, trial by jury, and in no other way, must be forthwith established, although the result may be to work injustice and provoke disturbance rather than to aid the orderly administration of justice. If the United States, impelled by its duty or advantage, shall acquire territory peopled by savages, and of which it may dispose or not hold for ultimate admission to statehood, if this doctrine is sound, it must establish there the trial by jury. To state such a proposition demonstrates the impossibility of carrying it into practice. Again, if the United States shall acquire by treaty the cession of territory having an established system of jurisprudence, where jury trials are unknown, but a method of fair and orderly trial prevails under an acceptable and long-established code, the preference of the people must be disregarded, their established customs ignored, and they themselves coerced to accept, in advance of incorporation into the United States, a system of trial unknown to them and unsuited to their needs. We do not think it was intended, in giving power to Congress to make regulations for the territories, to hamper its exercise with this condition.” ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138, 148.)}} {{smaller block|The fundamental right test is the one which the Court has consistently enunciated in the long series of cases—''e. g.'', ''American Ins. Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511); ''De Lima'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 1); ''Downes'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 244); ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138); ''Balzac'' v. ''Porto Rico'' (258 U. S. 298)—dealing with claims of constitutional restrictions on the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for governing the unincorporated territories. The process of decision appropriate to the problem led to a detailed examination of the relation of the specific territory to the United States. This examination, in its similarity to analysis in terms of due process, is essentially the same as that to be made in the present cases in weighing Congressional power to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces against the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|The results in the cases that arose by reason of the acquisition of exotic territory do not control the present cases for the territorial cases rest specifically—on article IV., section 3, which is a grant of power to Congress to deal with territory and other Government property. Of course the power sought to be exercised in Great Britain and Japan does not relate to territory. The Court’s opinions in the territorial cases did not lay down a broad principle that the protective provisions of the Constitution do not apply outside the continental limits of the United States. This Court considered the particular situation in each newly acquired territory to determine whether the grant to Congress of power to govern territory was restricted by a specific provision of the Constitution. The territorial cases, in the emphasis put by them on the necessity for considering the specific circumstances of each particular case, are thus relevant in that they provide an illustrative method for harmonizing constitutional provisions which appear, separately considered, to be conflicting.}} {{smaller block|The Court last term relied on a second source of authority, the consular court case, ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). Pursuant to a treaty with Japan, Ross, a British subject but a member of the crew of a United States ship, was tried and convicted in a consular court in Yokohama for murder of a fellow seaman while the ship was in Yokohama Harbor. His application for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to a United States circuit court was denied, 44 F. 185, and on appeal here, the judgment was affirmed. This Court set forth the ground of the circuit court, “the long and uniform acquiescence by the executive, administrative, and legislative departments of the Government in the validity of the legislation,” 140th United States Reports, at page 461, and then stated:}} {{smaller block|“The circuit court might have found an additional ground for not calling in question the legislation of Congress, in the uniform practice of civilized governments for centuries to provide consular tribunals in other than Christian countries * * * for the trial of their own subjects or citizens for offenses committed in those countries, as well as for the settlement of civil disputes between them; and in the uniform recognition, down to the time of the formation of our Government, of the fact that the establishment of such tribunals was among the most important subjects for treaty stipulations. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The treatymaking power vested in our Government extends to all proper subjects of negotiation with foreign governments. It can, equally with any of the former or present governments of Europe, make treaties providing for the exercise of judicial authority in other countries by its officers appointed to reside therein.}} {{smaller block|“We do not understand that any question is made by counsel as to its power in this respect. His objection is to the legislation by which such treaties are carried out * * *.}} {{smaller block|“By the Constitution a government is ordained and established ‘for the United States of America,’ and not for countries outside of their limits. The guarantees it affords against accusation of capital or infamous crimes, except by indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and, for an impartial trial by a jury when thus accused, apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad. * * * The Constitution can have no operation in another country. When, therefore, the representatives or officers of our Government are permitted to exercise authority of any kind in another country, it must be on such conditions as the two countries may agree, the laws of neither one being obligatory upon the other. The deck of a private American vessel, it is true, is considered for many purposes constructively as territory of the United States, yet persons on board of such vessels, whether officers, sailors, or passengers, cannot invoke the protection of the provisions referred to until brought within the actual territorial boundaries of the United States.” (140 U. S., at 462–464.)}} {{smaller block|One observation should be made at the outset about the grounds for decision in Ross. Insofar as the opinion expressed a view that the Constitution is not operative outside the United States—and apparently Mr. Justice Field meant by “United States” all lands over which the United States flag flew, see John W. Burgess, How May the United States Govern Its Extra-Continental Territory? (14 Pol. Sci. Q. 1 (1899))—it expressed a notion that has long since evaporated. Governmental action abroad is performed under both the authority and the restrictions of the Constitution—for example, proceedings before American military tribunals, whether in Great Britain or in the United States, are subject to the applicable restrictions of the Constitution. See opinions in ''Burns'' v. ''Wilson'' (346 U. S. 137).}} {{smaller block|The significance of the Ross case and its relevance to the present cases cannot be assessed unless due regard is accorded the historical context in which that case was decided. Ross is not rooted in any abstract principle or comprehensive theory touching constitutional power or its restrictions. It was decided with reference to a very particular, practical problem with a long history. To be mindful of this does not attribute to Mr. Justice Field’s opinion some unavowed historical assumption. On behalf of the whole court, he spelled out the considerations that controlled it:}} {{smaller block|“The practice of European governments to send officers to reside in foreign countries, authorized to exercise a limited jurisdiction over vessels and seamen of their country, to watch the interests of their countrymen and to assist in adjusting their disputes and protecting their commerce, goes back to a very early period, even preceding what are termed the Middle Ages. * * * In other than Christian countries they were, by treaty stipulations, usually clothed with authority to hear complaints against their countrymen and to sit in judgment upon them when charged with public offenses. After the rise of Islamism, and the spread of its followers over eastern Asia and other countries bordering on the Mediterranean, the exercise of this judicial authority became a matter of great concern. The intense hostility of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to Christians, affected all their intercourse, and all proceedings had in their tribunals. Even the rules of evidence adopted by them placed those of different faith on unequal grounds in any controversy with them. For this cause, and by reason of the barbarous and cruel punishments inflicted in those countries, and the frequent use of torture to enforce confession from parties accused, it was a matter of deep interest to Christian governments to withdraw the trial of their subjects, when charged with the commission of a public offence, from the arbitrary and despotic action of the local officials. Treaties conferring such jurisdiction upon these consuls were essential to the peaceful residence of Christians within those countries and the successful prosecution of commerce with their people.” One Hundred and Fortieth United States Reports, at page 463.}} {{smaller block|“It is true that the occasion for consular tribunals in Japan may hereafter be less than at present, as every year that country progresses in civilization and in the assimilation of its system of judicial procedure to that of Christian countries, as well as in the improvement of its penal statutes; but the system of consular tribunals * * * is of the highest importance, and their establishment in other than. Christian countries, where our people may desire to go in pursuance of commerce, will often be essential for the protection of their persons and property” (''id.'', at 480).}} {{smaller block|It is important to have a lively sense of this background before attempting to draw on the Ross case. Historians have traced grants of extraterritorial rights as far back as the permission given by Egypt in the 12th or 13th century {{asc|B. C.}} to the merchants of Tyre to establish factories on the Nile and to live under their own law and practice their own religion. Numerous other instances of persons living under their own law in foreign lands existed in the later pre-Christian era and during the Roman Empire and the so-called Dark and Middle Ages—Greeks in Egypt, all sorts of foreigners in Rome, inhabitants of Christian cities and states in the Byzantine Empire, the Latin kingdoms of the Levant, and other Christian cities and states, Mohammedans in the Byzantine Empire and China, and many others lived in foreign lands under their own law. While the origins of this extraterritorial jurisdiction may have differed in each country, the notion that law was for the benefit of the citizens of a country and its advantages not for foreigners appears to have been an important factor. Thus, there existed a long-established custom of extraterritorial jurisdiction at the beginning of the 15th century when the complete conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire substantially altered political relations between Christian Europe and the Near East. But commercial relations continued, and in 1535 Francis I. of France negotiated a treaty with Suleiman I. of Turkey that provided for numerous extraterritorial rights, including criminal and civil jurisdiction over all disputes among. French subjects. (1 Ernest Charriere, Negotiations de la France dans le Levant 283.) Other nations and eventually the United States in 1830 (8 Stat. 408), later negotiated similar treaties with the Turks. (For a more complete history of the development of extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction, see 1 Calvo, Le Droit International Theorique et Pratique (5th ed., Rousseau, 1896), 2–18, 2 ''id.'', 9–12; Hinckley, American Consular Jurisdiction in the Orient, 1–9; 1 Miltitz, Manuel des Consuls passim; Ravndal, The Origin of the Capitulations and of the Consular Jurisdiction, S. Doc. No. 34, 67th Cong., 1st sess. 5–45, 56–96; Shih Shun Liu, Extraterritoriality, 23–66; Twiss, The Law of Nations (1884 ed.), 443–457.)}} {{smaller block|The emergence of the nation-state in Europe and the growth of the doctrine of absolute territorial sovereignty changed the nature of extraterritorial rights. No longer were strangers to be denied the advantages of local law. Indeed, territorial sovereignty meant the exercise of sovereignty over all residents within the borders of the state, and the system of extraterritorial consular jurisdiction tended to die out among Christian nations in the 18th and 19th centuries. But a new justification was found for the continuation of that jurisdiction in those countries whose systems of justice were considered inferior, and it was this strong feeling with respect to Moslem and Far Eastern countries that was reflected, as we have seen, in the Ross opinion.}} {{smaller block|Until 1842, China had asserted control over all foreigners within its territory (Shih Shun Liu, ''op. cit.'', ''supra'', 76–89) but, as a result of the Opium War, Great Britain negotiated a treaty with China whereby she obtained consular offices in five open ports and was granted extraterritorial rights over her citizens. On July 3, 1844, Caleb Cushing negotiated a similar treaty on behalf of the United States (8 Stat. 592). In a letter to Secretary of State Calhoun, he explained: “I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations—in a word a Christian state.” Quoted in 7 Op. Atty. Gen. 495, 496–497. Later treaties continued the extraterritorial rights of the United States, and the treaty of 1903 contained the following article demonstrating the purpose of those rights:}} {{smaller block|“The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of western nations, the United States agrees to give every assistance to such reform and will also be prepared to relinquish extra-territorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in doing so” (33 Stat. 2208, 2215).}} {{smaller block|The first treaty with Japan was negotiated by Commodore Perry in 1854 (11 Stat. 597). It opened two ports, but did not provide for any exercise of judicial powers by United States officials. Under the treaty of 1857 (11 Stat. 723), such power was given, and later treaties, which opened up further Japanese cities for trade and residence by United States citizens, retained these rights. The treaty of 1894, effective on July 17, 1899, however, ended these extraterritorial rights and Japan, even though a non-Christian nation, came to occupy the same status as Christian nations (29 Stat. 848). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction by consuls over United States citizens was also provided for, at one time or another, in treaties with Borneo (10 Stat. 909, 910); Siam (11 Stat. 683, 684); Madagascar (15 Stat. 491, 492); Samoan Islands (20 Stat. 704); Korea (23 Stat. 720, 721); Tonga Islands (25 Stat. 1440, 1442) and, by virtue of most-favored-nation clauses; in treaties with Tripoli (8 Stat. 154); Persia (11 Stat. 709); the Congo (27 Stat. 926); and Ethiopia (33 Stat. 2254). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction was also provided for in a treaty with Morocco (8 Stat. 100), by virtue of a most-favored-nation clause and by virtue of a clause granting jurisdiction if “any citizens of the United States * * * shall have any disputes with each other.” The word “disputes” has been interpreted by the International Court of Justice to comprehend criminal as well as civil disputes. ''France'' v. ''United States'' (I. C. J. Rept. 1952, p. 176, 188–189.) The treaties with Algiers (8 Stat. 133, 224, 244); Tunis (8 Stat. 157); and Muscat (8 Stat. 458) contained similar disputes clauses.}} {{smaller block|The judicial power exercised by consuls was defined by statute and was sweeping:}} {{smaller block|“Jurisdiction in both criminal and civil matters shall, in all cases, be exercised and enforced in conformity with the laws of the United States, which are hereby, so far as is necessary to execute such treaties, respectively, and so far as they are suitable to carry the same into effect, extended over all citizens of the United States in those countries, and over all others to the extent that the terms of the treaties, respectively, justify or require. But in all cases where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” (Rev. Stat. sec. 4086.)}} {{smaller block|The consuls, then, exercised not only executive and judicial power, but legislative power as well.}} {{smaller block|The number of people subject to the jurisdiction of these courts during their most active periods appears to have been fairly small. In the Chronicle & Directory for China, Japan, and the Philippines, for the year 1870, there is a listing of the total number of foreign, not just United States, residents in these three places. The list is 81 pages long, with a total of some 4,500 persons (pp. 54–134). This same publication gives the following information about Japan. “The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of * * * 38 Americans * * * and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number * * * about 80 [were] Americans. * * * At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the Government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January 1866: * * * American citizens, 32. * * * A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there * * *.” (Appendix, p. 353.) The statesman’s Yearbook of 1890 shows: China at the end of 1888: 1,020 Americans (p. 411); Japan in 1887, 711 Americans (p. 709); Morocco; 1889 estimate: “The number of Christians is very small, not exceeding 1,500” (p. 739). The Statesman’s Yearbook of 1901 shows: China at the end of 1899: 2,335 Americans (p. 484); Japan, December 31, 1898, just before the termination of our extraterritorial rights: 1,165 Americans (p. 809); Morocco: “The number of Christians does not exceed 6,000; the Christian population of Tangier alone probably amounts to 5,000” (p. 851). These figures of course do not include those civilians temporarily in the country coming within consular jurisdiction.}} {{smaller block|The consular court jurisdiction, then, was exercised in countries whose legal systems at the time were considered so inferior that justice could not be obtained in them by our citizens. The existence of these courts was based on long-established custom and they were justified as the best possible means for securing justice for the few Americans present in those countries. The Ross case, therefore, arose out of, and rests on, very special, confined circumstances, and cannot be applied automatically to the present situation, involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens in countries with civilized systems of justice. If Congress had established consular courts or some other nonmilitary procedure for trial that did not contain all the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments for the trial of civilian dependents of military personnel abroad, we would be forced to a detailed analysis of the situation of the civilian dependent population abroad in deciding whether the Ross case should be extended to cover such a case. It is not necessary to do this in the present cases in view of our decision that the form or trial here provided cannot constitutionally be justified.}} {{smaller block|The Government, apparently recognizing the constitutional basis for the decision in Ross, has, on rehearing, sought to show that civilians in general and civilian dependents in particular have been subject to military order and discipline ever since the colonial period. The materials it has submitted seem too episodic, too meager, to form a solid basis in history, preceding and contemporaneous with the framing of the Constitution, for constitutional adjudication. What has been urged on us falls far too short of proving a well-established practice—to be deemed to be infused into the Constitution—of court-martial jurisdiction, certainly not in capital cases, over such civilians in time of peace.}} Mr. President, the decision which I have read in the {{sc|Record}} is in the case of Curtis Reid, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Jail, Appellant, against Clarice B. Covert, and Nina Kinsella, Warden of the Federal Reformatory for Women, Alderson, W. Va., petitioner, against Walter Krueger. The opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice Black, was concurred in by the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan. It pointed out clearly that even though the court-martial so provided, the jury trial could not be denied to civilians accompanying the Armed Forces. It is very clear on that point. There was a concurring opinion, which I have just included in the {{sc|Record}}, by Justice Frankfurter, which upholds that contention. There is no question that under the United States Constitution citizens are entitled to a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the discretion of a Federal judge to say whether he is going to grant a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the Congress to say that if the punishment is only a $300 fine or 45 days imprisonment we will let the judge try the case, but if it is above that the defendant can get a jury trial. That simply does not make sense. It violates the Constitution and is in derogation of the administration of justice in this country. As someone has said, it is a split-level statute. Mr. President, on May 9, 1957, before the mountain and plain regional meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colo., Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., of the Supreme Court, made an address on our judicial systems. In this address he discussed the advantages of our traditional jury-trial system. Because of the clear, straightforward nature of this address, I want to quote the following statement made by Justice Brennan. This is what he said: {{smaller block|We hear much, for example, of the proposal that we turn all automobile-accident litigation over to an administrative agency. The idea is that, because automobile litigation accounts for a major part of court business, the simple solution is to dispose of the problem by throwing it out the window. What an abject abdication of our profession’s responsibility to provide judicial justice for our citizens. But, at best, there is utterly no hope for that idea, at least not in our lifetimes, when the job of judicial reform must be done. It will be a long day before our society will pay the price of damages for every automobile injury or death without regard to the fault of the person injured or killed. There is no true analogy between compensation for the injured workman who helps produce goods or services for profit, where the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods or services, and compensation to the automobile victim, where the cost would have to be borne by all of us.}} {{smaller block|Another nostrum is that, because jury trials take more time than trials before a judge without a jury, the easy answer to calendar congestion is to get rid of jury trials in automobile accident cases. Actual studies are being made to prove that the average jury trial in a negligence case takes more time than a nonjury trial of a negligence case. I question the need for a study to prove something that every judge and lawyer knows. Of course jury trials usually take more time than nonjury trials. But those who propose this suggest also that fairer justice will result if a judge, unprejudiced for one side or the other—they really mean that juries are prejudiced in favor of plaintiffs—disposes of them. I doubt that that proposition can withstand analysis. As a trial judge I was always interested in how often the jury brought in the same verdict on liability that I would have reached. And that seems to be the experience of trial judges generally. A recent survey proved that in upwards of 85 percent of the cases the trial judge reported that the jury reached the result on liability that he would have reached. Moreover, the idea that juries go haywire in fixing damages where plaintiffs prevail should be looked at a little more closely. I think at least that judge-decided verdicts under the Federal Tort Claims Act (no jury trial is had under that act) do not persuade the Department of Justice that juries are any less conscientious in fixing damages. I know that at times juries do go overboard. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the instances in my time as a trial judge when I felt it necessary to set aside verdicts because they had done so. My experience left me with the definite impression that jurors almost always do try to fix damages within allowable limits.}} {{smaller block|I think, at all events, this proposal to abolish jury trials in automobile accident cases also faces an almost insurmountable hurdle. The success of our British brothers in abolishing jury trials should not mislead us. American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. Perhaps the emotion generated by proposals to modify or deny the right has its roots in the Jacksonian era of distrust of the legal profession and the insistence upon the people’s control of the administration of justice. Perhaps it is a survival of the same thing which gave us the elective system of judges in most States and in some, as in my own, New Jersey, actual lay participation on the bench. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of the preservation of their liberties. The road of him who would take away jury trial in automobile accident cases is a long and rocky one.}} {{smaller block|I submit that it is a sorry response to the litigant who suffers from long delay in having his accident suit tried that we can offer no relief beyond “let’s throw accident litigation out of the courts,” or “let’s deny the victim the right of a jury trial.” Our profession must stand up and reject those nostrums. We know now that there are judicial structures and techniques of judicial administration which not only can cope with problems of calendar control but to far more {{SIC|signficant|significant}} purposes can also measurably assist in our ceaseless striving to give better justice. Our need is to get up our courage to fight for these things and to do battle with the powerfully entrenched opponents of any reform who too often take their position out of self-interest without sufficient consideration of what is best in the people’s interest. It doubtless is true that achievement of a modernized, efficient judicial structure requires far-reaching legislative and constitutional changes in most jurisdictions. But, far better to do the arduous labor of getting that essential job done than to promote equally drastic changes which are nothing more than a humiliating confession of defeat.}} {{smaller block|Let us not forget that the integrity and efficiency of the judicial process is the first essential in a democratic society. The confidence of the people in the administration of justice is a prime requisite for free representative government. The public entrusts the legal profession with the sacred mission of dealing with the vital affairs that affect the whole pattern of human relations and certainly has a stake entitling it to demand not only that judges dispense justice impartially and fairly but also that judicial business shall be handled and disposed of by a modernized process which assures a minimum of friction and waste, for such a process also plays a large role in the achievement of impartial and fair justice for all litigants. There is actually no difference between the business of judicial administration and the business of running an industrial or commercial enterprise in the sense that the efficient and businesslike conduct of each means better service for the public. An inefficient and wasteful judicial administration actually can and often does result in a denial of justice, however earnestly an honest and upright judge may strive to prevent that lamentable result.}} {{smaller block|I think it is not difficult to account for today’s heightened interest on the part of the general public throughout our Nation and, indeed, the Free World in the improvement of the process for administering justice. That growing interest is in large measure a product of the tumultuous times in which we live. For these are not only times which have produced a monstrous threat to all freedom, but, by the very reason of that threat, are times which have induced in free peoples everywhere an ever intensifying critical self-examination of the institutions upon which their freedoms depend—an insistence upon exposure of the imperfections of those institutions, a peremptory demand upon those who are entrusted with those institutions to improve and strengthen them the more surely to withstand the onslaught bent upon their destruction. It is but natural then that the judicial process should come under examination, for never was it more true than today that “Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.”}} Mr. President, I submit, just as Justice Brennan has quoted here, which never was more true than today: {{smaller block|Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.}} I contend that since our forefathers placed in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights provisions which are so plain it seems no one could misinterpret them, providing for trial by jury in criminal cases, there can be no question that jury trials are not only desirable but are demanded under the Constitution. There should be no doubt in the mind of anyone, if he studies the Constitution, that the so-called compromise which tends to compromise the Constitution of the United States is not a just, is not a fair, is not a wise, and is not a constitutional provision, and that this bill should be killed. Mr. President, one of the most interesting books ever written on the American system of Government was by Alexis de Tocqueville, a young Frenchman who wrote a book entitled “Democracy in America” after visiting this country during the 1830s. One of the chapters of his book was entitled “Trial by Jury in the United States Considered as a Political Institution.” I shall read excerpts from this chapter because it provides an excellent insight into the prestige attained by the system of jury trial from the observation of an unbiased observer. {{smaller block|[From de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” written after visiting America in the 1830s.]}} {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Trial by Jury in the United States Constitution as a Political Institution}}}}}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury, which is one of the forms of the sovereignty of the people, ought to be compared with the other laws which establish that sovereignty: Composition of the jury in the United States; effect of trial by jury upon the national character; it educates the people; how it tends to establish the influence of the magistrates and to extend the legal spirit among the people.}} {{smaller block|Since my subject has led me to speak of the administration of justice in the United States, I will not pass over it without referring to the institution of the jury. Trial by jury may be considered in two separate points of view: as a judicial, and as a political institution. * * *}} {{smaller block|My present purpose is to consider the jury as a political institution; any other course would divert me from my subject. Of trial by jury considered as a judicial institution I shall here say but little. When the English adopted trial by jury, they were a semi-barbarous people; they have since become one of the most enlightened nations of the earth, and their attachment to this institution seems to have increased with their increasing cultivation. They have emigrated and colonized every part of the habitable globe; some have formed colonies, others independent states; the mother country has maintained its monarchial constitution; many of its offspring have founded powerful republics; but everywhere they have boasted of the privilege of trial by jury. They have established it, or hastened to reestablish it, in all their settlements. A judicial institution which thus obtains the suffrages of a great people for so long a series of ages, which is zealously reproduced at every stage of civilization, in all the climates of the earth, and under every form of human {{SIC|govment|government}}, cannot be contrary to the spirit of justice.}} {{smaller block|But to leave this part of the subject. It would be a very narrow view to look upon the jury as a mere judicial institution; for however great its influence may be upon the decisions of the courts, it is still greater on the destinies of society at large. The jury is, above all, a political institution, and it must be regarded in this light in order to be duly appreciated.}} {{smaller block|By the jury I mean a certain number of citizens chosen by lot and invested with a temporary right of judging. Trial by jury, as applied to the repression of crime, appears to me an eminently republican element in the government, for the following reasons.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury may be aristocratic or democratic, according to the class from which the jurors are taken; but it always preserves its republican character, in that it places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed, or of a portion of the governed, and not in that of the government. Force is never more than a transient element of success, and after force comes the notion of right. A government able to reach its enemies only upon a field of battle would soon be destroyed. The true sanction of political laws is to be found in penal legislation; and if that sanction is wanting, the law will sooner or later lose its cogency. He who punishes the criminal is therefore the real master of society. Now, the institution of the jury raises the people itself, or at least a class of citizens, to the bench of judges. The institution of the jury consequently invests the people, or that class of citizens, with the direction of society.}} {{smaller block|In England the jury is selected from the aristocratic portion of the nation; the aristocracy makes the laws, applies the laws, and punishes infractions of the laws; everything is established upon a consistent footing, and England may with truth be said to constitute an aristocratic republic. In the United States the same system is applied to the whole people. Every American citizen is both an eligible and a legally qualified voter. The jury system as it is understood in America appears to me to be as direct and as extreme a consequence of the sovereignty of the people as universal suffrage. They are two instruments of equal power, which contribute to the supremacy of the majority. All the sovereigns who have chosen to govern by their own authority, and to direct society instead of obeying its directions, have destroyed or enfeebled the institution of the jury. The Tudor monarchs sent to prison jurors who refused to convict, and Napoleon caused them to be selected by his agents.}} {{smaller block|However clear most of these truths may seem to be, they do not command universal assent; and in France, at least, trial by jury is still but imperfectly understood. If the question arises as to the proper qualification of jurors, it is confined to a discussion of the intelligence and knowledge of the citizens who may be returned, as if the jury was merely a judicial institution. This appears to me the least important part of the subject. The jury is preeminently a political institution; it should be regarded as one form of the sovereignty of the people; when that sovereignty is repudiated, it must be rejected, or it must be adapted to the laws by which that sovereignty is established. The jury is that portion of the nation to which the execution of the laws is entrusted, as the legislature is that part of the nation which makes the laws; and in order that society may be governed in a fixed and uniform manner, the list of citizens qualified to serve on juries must increase and diminish with the list of electors. This I hold to be the point of view most worthy of the attention of the legislator; all that remains is merely accessory.}} {{smaller block|I am so entirely convinced that the jury is preeminently a political institution that I still consider it in this light when it is applied in civil causes. Laws are always unstable unless they are founded upon the customs of a nation; customs are the only durable and resisting power in a people. When the jury is reserved for criminal offenses, the people witness only its occasional action in particular cases; they become accustomed to do without it in the ordinary course of life, and it is considered as an instrument, but not as the only instrument, of obtaining justice.}} {{smaller block|When, on the contrary, the jury acts also on civil causes, its application is constantly visible; it affects all the interests of the community; everyone cooperates in its work; it thus penetrates into all the usages of life, it fashions the human mind to its peculiar forms, and is gradually associated with the idea of justice itself.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and man. If it had been as easy to remove the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have perished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that period save the liberties of England. In whatever manner the jury be applied, it cannot fail to exercise a powerful influence upon the national character; but this influence ts prodigiously increased when it is introduced into civil causes. The jury, and more especially the civil jury, serves to communicate the spirit of the judges to the minds of all the citizens; and this spirit, with the habits which attend it, is the soundest preparation for free institutions. It imbues all classes with a respect for the thing judged and with the notion of right. If these two elements be removed, the love of independence becomes a mere destructive passion. It teaches men to practice equity; every man learns to judge his neighbor as he would himself be judged. And this is especially true of the jury in civil causes; for while the number of persons who have reason to apprehend a criminal prosecution is small, everyone is liable to have a lawsuit. The jury teaches every man not to recoil before the responsibility of his own actions and impresses him with that manly confidence without which no political virtue can exist. It invests each citizen with a kind of magistracy; it makes them all feel the duties which they are bound to discharge toward society and the part which they take in its government. By obliging men to turn their attention to other affairs than their own, it rubs off that private selfishness which is the rust of society.}} {{smaller block|The jury contributes powerfully to form the judgment and to increase the natural intelligence of a people; and this, in my opinion, is its greatest advantage. It may be regarded as a gratuitous public school, ever open, in which every juror learns his rights, enters into daily communication with the most learned and enlightened members of the upper classes, and becomes practically acquainted with the laws, which are brought within the reach of his capacity by the efforts of the bar, the advice of the judge, and even the passions of the parties. I think that the practical intelligence and political good sense of the Americans are mainly attributable to the long use that they have made of the jury in civil causes.}} {{smaller block|I do not know whether the jury is useful to those who have lawsuits, but I am certain it is highly beneficial to those who judge them; and I look upon it as one of the most efficacious means for the education of the people which society can employ.}} {{smaller block|What I have said applies to all nations, but the remark I am about to make is peculiar to the Americans and to democratic communities. I have already observed that in democracies the members of the legal profession and the judicial magistrates constitute the only aristocratic body which can moderate the movements of the people. This aristocracy is invested with no physical power; it exercises its conservative influence upon the minds of men; and the most abundant source of its authority is the institution of the civil jury. In criminal causes, when society is contending against a single man, the jury is apt to look upon the judge as the passive instrument of social power and to mistrust his advice. Moreover, criminal causes turn entirely upon simple facts, which commonsense can readily appreciate; upon this ground the judge and the jury are equal. Such is not the case, however, in civil causes; then the judge appears as a disinterested arbiter between the conflicting passions of the parties. The jurors look up to him with confidence and listen to him with respect, for in this instance, his intellect entirely governs theirs. It is the judge who sums up the various arguments which have wearied their memory, and who guides them through the devious course of the proceedings; he points their attention to the exact question of fact that they are called upon to decide and tells them how to answer the question of law. His influence over them is almost unlimited.}} {{smaller block|If I am called upon to explain why I am but little moved by the arguments derived from the ignorance of jurors in civil causes, I reply that in these proceedings, whenever the question to be solved is not a mere question of fact, the jury has only the semblance of a judicial body. The jury only sanctions the decision of the judge; they sanction this decision by the authority of society which they represent, and he by that of reason and of law.}} {{smaller block|The jury, then, which seems to restrict the rights of the judiciary does in reality consolidate its power; and in no country are the judges so powerful as where the people share their privileges. It is especially by means of the jury in civil causes that the American magistrates imbue even the lower classes of society with the spirit of their profession. Thus the jury, which is the most energetic means of making the people rule, is also the most efficacious means of teaching it how to rule well.}} Mr. President, de Tocqueville contributed a great deal to literature and to society. He was a Frenchman who came to our country and studied our form of government. He was so impressed that he wrote the chapter on trial by jury, in which he emphasized the fact that the jury is the heart of the administration of justice in a democracy. On Friday, July 5, 1957, there was printed in the State, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C., an article quoting the then president of the American Bar Association, Mr. David F. Maxwell, on the subject of jury trials. I believe Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Philadelphia bar, of which our distinguished Presiding Officer [Mr. {{sc|Clark}}] is also a member. I am sure that the Presiding Officer, as well as the Senate, will be interested in what Mr. Maxwell had to say on the subject of jury trials, and that the views expressed by him will be of interest to everyone who believes in constitutional government. I read as follows: {{smaller block|The president of the American Bar Association today answered charges that trial by jury is an outmoded, time-consuming process which can be replaced by more efficient legal procedure.}} {{smaller block|David F. Maxwell, of Philadelphia, who heads the lawyers organization, said instead that jury trials are the ultimate protection against invasion of personal freedom.}} {{smaller block|He spoke at the diamond jubilee celebration of the State Bar of Texas.}} {{smaller block|“Too many persons today are prone to view trial by jury solely as a factfinding device, and hence expendable, if as good or better a method can be devised,” he said.}} {{smaller block|These critics are influenced, Maxwell said, by the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote that an experienced judge should be able to represent the commonsense of the community far better than the average jury.}} {{smaller block|The Pennsylvania attorney said, “Such a contention presupposes the ability of the trial judge to discard foibles and prejudices built up within himself through his personal experience and background,” adding that a group of average citizens can mete out more even justice than can the most competent and experienced judge.}} {{smaller block|“So let us in this country take warning,” he said. “The jury alone is able to function as the thin wedge of reserved power that separates our system of law from the monolithic, totalitarian despotism behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.”}} Mr. President, an editorial appeared in the Greenville (S. C.) News of June 6, 1957. It is entitled “Jury Trial Is at Heart of Rights Issue” and has this to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|The day after it was reported from Washington that the administration would protest the southern claim that the so-called civil-rights bill would deny the right to trial by jury, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate approved an amendment intended to guarantee that right to persons who might come under an injunction authorized in the proposed law.}} {{smaller block|In his several appearances before the Senate and House committees studying the various proposals, Attorney General Brownell tried to claim that a trial by jury would not be denied. He had rough going, and at times was downright evasive, when Senator {{sc|Sam. J.

Certainly, it would be possible for the courts to deny a jury hearing and a judge, if he chose, could sit in judgment on the testimony as well as the law.}} {{smaller block|Speaking for the administration, Attorney General Brownell is taking his case to the House of Representatives, but the action of the Senate committee on Monday indicates that even a number of northern Democrats and Republicans have been convinced of the facts.}} {{smaller block|The jury trial issue came up in this way:}} {{smaller block|Among the bills included in the civil rights packages (various versions of which have been offered by the administration and by individuals and groups of Democratic and Republican Members of Congress) is one which would set up a special civil rights division of the Department of Justice.}} {{smaller block|It would be manned by a number of assistants to the Attorney General and would have the authority to initiate civil suits against persons accused of violating the civil rights of others or whom it might have reason to believe were about to violate such rights.}} {{smaller block|(At present, it is a criminal offense to violate the civil rights of another. But a person accused of violating such laws has the right to be arraigned before a grand jury and to be tried by a petit jury.)}} {{smaller block|The administration proposal—and members of both parties have supported this or made similar proposals of their own—is to transfer civil rights cases from the criminal to the civil side of the Federal courts.

And the judge could convict and sentence the individual without a trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|That is what prompted the southern amendment to the bill aimed at assuring a jury trial. And that is the principle Mr. Brownell is assailing in his statements to Congress.}} {{smaller block|He does not deny that trial by jury would be denied the defendants. He merely says the amendment would make the bill ineffective and would weaken the power of the Federal courts to enforce their orders. He says this power to punish for contempt has long been available to the Government in other Federal cases.}} {{smaller block|That much is true. When the Government brings a civil suit and obtains an injunction, contempt can be adjudged and punished without a jury. But these are cases entirely different from those Mr. Brownell proposes to bring in the name of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|In this instance, Mr. Brownell is trying to do in a roundabout way what the Constitution forbids him to do directly; that is, try and convict a person for an alleged crime without a jury.}} Mr. President, here is an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of April 17, 1957. It is entitled “Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} Understands Threat to Liberty in Civil-Rights Bill” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Speaking at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society in Charleston, March 18, 1947, Senator {{sc|Joseph C.

And with respect to another part of the bill vigorously opposed by southern Senators, he said, “I don’t think we should be afraid of a jury trial in matters of this kind.” In announcing his stand on the legislation, he said that the South has made many striking advances in racial relations, while such relations in some other parts of the country have worsened.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}’s stand on the civil-rights bill is of major significance.

C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Trial by Jury Right of All Americans” and it appears in the June 5, 1957, issue of the News and Courier, and has this to say: {{smaller block|A guaranty of trial by jury, squeezed into a civil-rights law by vote of a Senate subcommittee, has been hailed as a southern victory.}} {{smaller block|This victory—though it is little more than solace in a string of defeats—in fact belongs to the American Republic. Southerners are not alone in danger. If the Federal Government can deprive southerners of the right of trial by jury, on the ground that they are unfair to Negroes, it can do the same to citizens of other regions on equally flimsy grounds.}} {{smaller block|Thanks to the NAACP and its political allies, defense of Negroes’ civil rights is popular today. Even at the sacrifice of rights of all citizens, restrictive laws have won serious support. The News and Courier finds biting irony in the need for Congress to guarantee the right of trial by jury.

As older judges die or retire, Attorney General Brownell will make sure, insofar as he is able, that replacements have a “liberal” view of race.}} {{smaller block|With administration of election laws removed from the hands of elected State officials and placed under Federal appointees, government is being removed ever further from the people. The jury system, safeguard of Anglo–Saxon liberty, may yet be a victim of alien notions now gathering power in our Republic.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the May 10, 1957, issue of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “The Civil-Rights Fight and Trial-by-Jury Issue” and was written by the distinguished southern newspaperman, Dr. John Temple Graves.

The fifth amendment speaks for it, and the sixth, and the seventh.}} {{smaller block|Nothing in the whole instrument is more emphatic.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the April 8, 1957, issue of South, the news magazine of Dixie. It is entitled “Force Bill ‘Liberals’ Would Kill Jury Trial.” Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|It is incredible that those who like to boast that they are liberals and protectors of individual rights are crying the loudest for the currently misnamed civil-rights legislation which would deny alleged violators the right to trial by jury. The politically inspired anti-South force bill package has induced such a state of hypnosis in the self-styled liberals that they want to replace constitutional guarantees of civil liberties with their own false notions of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|If the question of race were not at issue, the very people who are pressing for passage of this abominable travesty on constitutional principle would be the first to denounce it for discarding the sacred right of trial by jury. At the outset the legislation violates the rights spelled out in article III., section 3, and by the seventh amendment, one of the historic ten making up the Bill of Rights. It would empower the United States Attorney General to seek injunctions against persons suspected of being about to violate the so-called civil-rights measure. Then a Federal judge, acting also as prosecutor and jury, would decree a whole community or State in contempt. An individual cited for contempt would be tried without a jury by the judge who cited him.}} {{smaller block|The proponents of this evil proposal know exactly what they are doing. By design they are taking away the right of jury trial. In fact, they are bold to say that if they did not set aside the right of trial by jury, they could not get convictions in the South. To allow jury trials, they say, would be to gut the bill. Attorney General Brownell is horror-struck at the thought that the no-jury-trial provision be stricken. President Eisenhower, who violates a campaign pledge made at Miami by pushing this legislation, says he would have to get Brownell’s opinion as to whether to sign or veto a civil-rights bill containing the assurance of jury trial in contempt cases. The civil strife proponents protest that this guaranty—in the Constitution which Eisenhower, Brownell, and all Congressmen are sworn to uphold—would cripple the bill.

C., News. It is entitled “Jackie Robinson on Meet the Press: Negro Athlete Favors Jury Trials” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Jackie Robinson, Negro baseball star, when asked if he favored jury trials for civil-rights defendants, said Sunday night he would personally prefer a jury trial.}} {{smaller block|The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People strongly opposes a jury trial guaranty in criminal injunction cases arising under the bill.}} {{smaller block|Robinson is leading the NAACP’s freedom-fund campaign for a million dollars to attain first-class citizenship for all members.}} {{smaller block|The former Brooklyn Dodger told an NBC Meet the Press television panel that he did not know what the million dollars would be spent for—possibly for lawsuits against school segregation.}} {{smaller block|He said he favored the civil-rights bill but knows very little about it.}} {{smaller block|Frank Van Der Linden, this newspaper’s Washington correspondent, asked the questions about the civil-rights bill.}} This is a man, Mr. President, who favors the civil-rights bill, but even he says he favors a trial by jury. That is what the House did on this so-called compromise. In effect, they have nullified the right of trial by jury. There are very, very few instances in which a judge, when he finds a man guilty of contempt, would give a sentence of more than 45 days in prison or a fine of more than $300. That simply means the practical effect is that the jury trial has been completely nullified. As I have said earlier, and as I will say later in my address, the right of jury trial is something the Constitution grants to the citizens of the United States. The Congress does not have the authority to take the jury trial away from the people of America. Mr. President, I have an excerpt from an editorial from the August 26, 1957, issue of the Columbia (S. C.) Record. It is entitled “Jury-Trial Compromise No Compromise,” and this is what it has to say: {{smaller block|The “compromise” on the jury-trial amendment to the civil-rights bill, worked out between the House and Senate leaders of both parties, is anything but a genuine compromise. It is a nullification of the jury-trial principle, for which the southern Democrats fought so valiantly in the Senate.}} {{smaller block|The amendment written into the bill by the Senate provided that in all cases of criminal contempt defendants should be entitled to jury trials, guaranteed by the Constitution to all persons accused of crime.

In such a case the defendant could ask for a jury trial and the case would then be tried ''de novo'' before a jury. But no jury, of course, could try such a case ''de novo'' in fact. Every juror would know that the defendant had been found guilty by a judge and given more than a minimum sentence. This is a condition precedent to a jury trial in these voting-right cases. And no jury trial under such circumstances is anything approaching the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the August 25, 1957, issue of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Jury Trial ‘Compromise’ Is False Bait in Wicked Trap for Liberty,” and here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|A proposed compromise now pending in Congress is as wicked and immoral, in our opinion, as total denial of trial by jury under Federal election laws.}} {{smaller block|Reports from Washington indicate a likelihood that the civil rights force bill may be rammed through Congress with this compromise to grease the way.

It would grant the opportunity to seek a new trial before a jury by a defendant in an election case who had received a sentence greater than a $1,000 fine or 45 days in jail.}} The amount there, incidentally, Mr. President, should be corrected. Instead of a $1,000 fine, it should be a $300 fine. {{smaller block|But the size of a fine and the duration of imprisonment are not the key issue in this legislation. Penalties may be amended once the principle is set up. Besides, imprisoning State election officials even for a short time could rig the outcome of voting.}} {{smaller block|The key issue here is whether the liberty of a citizen, and the constitutional rights of the States to conduct free elections, should be sacrificed for the sake of current political advantage of national parties and politicians.}} As I have said before, Mr. President—to digress there—the only purpose of this so-called right-to-vote bill is to advance the cause of the national political parties with the minorities and to advance the cause of certain politicians. If it were not for the purpose of both parties playing to the minorities and advancing the cause of certain politicians to high offices, I do not believe this bill would ever have been introduced. It is a disgrace to the United States even to have the Congress consider such an abominable and obnoxious bill. {{smaller block|Behind this force bill lies a game of power politics. Both national parties are struggling to control the votes of herded Negroes in big northern cities and their liberal allies. These bloc voters are believed to hold the balance of political power in the United States.}} {{smaller block|Buried beneath the nauseating political greed that has produced this force bill are principles once dear to Americans. The bill has many of the earmarks of totalitarian government that the Constitution was built to prevent.}} Among these earmarks are Federal control of elections, seizing the power of the ballot box from the people most likely to be affected; substitution of judges for juries in enforcement of the law; and secrecy in working up prosecutions.}} {{smaller block|The bill would set up a powerful commission on the phony pretense of guarding voting rights of minority groups. This Commission’s actions would be shielded from public view. Persons are forbidden under penalties to make known what it is doing. The Star Chamber—a tyrannous device once used by English Kings—thus would be imposed for the first time on the United States.}} {{smaller block|Southerners may be overwhelmed by superior force, but they should go down fighting every step of the way.}} {{smaller block|In honorable defeat they may sound an alarm to fellow Americans not yet awake to dangers to the Republic. Passage of the civil-rights force bill would be a defeat for all citizens of whatever race or region, for it would help to set the stage for dictatorship and oppression. The compromise on which passage now seems to hinge is only a deceptive detail in a dirty business.}} Mr. President, I have here an excellent editorial from the Washington Evening Star of July 12, 1957. It is an editorial full of quotes, but the editor made his point well in this editorial without even having to insert his own comments. Here is what the editorial says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Brownell}} ''v.'' {{sc|Norris}}}}}} {{smaller block|Attorney General Brownell (in a letter explaining the civil-rights bill):}} {{smaller block|“Enactment of legislation providing for jury trial in contempt cases arising out of governmental litigation would undermine the authority of the Federal courts by seriously weakening their power to enforce their lawful orders. The effect of adopting current proposals for jury trial would be to weaken and undermine the authority of the Federal courts by making their every order, even when issued after due hearing and affirmed on appeal, reviewable by a local jury. * * *}} {{smaller block|“Furthermore the proposed amendment to existing procedures that is being advocated under the innocuous slogan of jury trial would permit practical nullification of the effectiveness of the proposed civil-rights legislation. The enforcement of any court order may require prompt and vigorous action if it is to be effective. Prompt action will often be vital in civil-rights cases, especially election cases, where the registration period or the election may pass while enforcement is delayed. The injection of a jury trial between an order of a court enjoining discrimination against Negroes in an election, and the enforcement of that order would provide numerous opportunities for delay beyond the time when the order could have practical effect.”}} {{smaller block|The late Senator George W. Norris (insisting on the right of trial by jury, by Congressional enactment, in every case of indirect contempt):}} {{smaller block|“I agree that any man charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.”}} I wish to repeat that statement. He said: {{smaller block|I agree that any many charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.}} Under the proposed compromise amendment which came from the House, the people will not get a jury trial. In 99 percent of the cases the judge will sentence people without a jury trial. It is said, “Well, they are able to get a jury trial if the fine is more than $300 or if the imprisonment is for more than 45 days.” That is not the point. The point is that in 99 percent of the cases the compromise would deny to the citizens a jury trial, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Congress should not be a party to violating the Constitution of the United States by passing the compromise amendment. I continue to read from the editorial: {{smaller block|“It is no answer to say that there will sometimes be juries which will not convict. That is a charge which can be made against our jury system. Every man who has tried lawsuits before juries, every man who has ever presided in court and heard jury trials, knows that juries make mistakes, as all other human beings do, and they sometimes render verdicts which seem almost obnoxious. But it is the best system I know of. I would not have it abolished; and when I see how juries will really do justice when a biased and prejudiced judge is trying to lead them astray I am confirmed in my opinion that, after all, our jury system is one which the American people, who believe in liberty and justice, will not dare to surrender. I like to have trial by jury preserved in all kinds of cases where there is a dispute of facts.”}} Mr. President, I have before me an editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) News of March 29, 1957, entitled “How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?” It reads: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?}}}}}} {{smaller block|Rather smugly, perhaps, we Americans have taken for granted our right to a trial before a jury when we stand accused of violating the law.}} {{smaller block|So fixed in our system of jurisprudence and our common concepts of justice is the jury trial that few of us ever have stopped to consider the difference between having our guilt or innocence determined by a group of ordinary citizens and having a judge, a creature of the Government, mete out justice singlehandedly, as he alone sees it.}} {{smaller block|Article III., section 2 of the United States Constitution, says that “the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.”}} {{smaller block|The sixth amendment, article VI. of the Bill of Rights, spells out further the right to the accused in criminal proceedings “to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. * * *”}} {{smaller block|It goes on to guarantee the accused the right to be informed specifically of the charges against him, to confront the witnesses against him, to subpena witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel.}} {{smaller block|The seventh amendment, article VII. of the Bill of Rights, provides that in suits at common law the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.}} {{smaller block|One would think that, with all these references in the Constitution, the right to a jury trial would be secure. But liberal elements, including our own Department of Justice, advocating passage of proposed civil-rights legislation are teaching us that this basic right is not so secure as we might have thought.}} {{smaller block|For the bills now before the Congress would, in fact, deny persons accused of violating the civil rights of others the right of a trial by a jury of citizens of their State and district. And the NAACP and Attorney General Brownell are insisting on this provision of the bill. Attempts of southern Senators and Congressmen to write into it a guaranty of that right have thus far been beaten down.}} {{smaller block|If the bill is enacted, the Government would be empowered to bring civil, rather than criminal charges, against an individual accused of violating someone else’s rights. He would be prosecuted by a Government attorney before a Federal judge, who might be sent in from outside his State, who would pass on the facts as well as the law and would pass sentence.}} {{smaller block|The accused would be just as apt to go to jail on the civil charge as he would if he were charged with a criminal offense in which the jury trial would be guaranteed. Indeed, the chances of his going to jail might be even greater.}} {{smaller block|But that is only part of it.}} {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint. If the individual did complain, the Government would bear the whole cost of prosecuting his case.}} {{smaller block|The defendant, on the other hand, would find himself faced with the necessity of hiring a lawyer and, perhaps, of going through a long series of court proceedings that could very well break him financially.}} {{smaller block|This could become vicious persecution instead of reasonable prosecution.}} {{smaller block|This threat of persecution is no less real in another phase of the proposed civil-rights legislation relating to the creation of a commission empowered to investigate alleged incidents of discrimination, economic boycotts, and the like.}} {{smaller block|If this plan became a reality, a citizen accused of discriminating against a member of a minority, or of applying economic pressure against him, could be ordered to report to a place in Washington at a given time and be subjected to an investigation. His need for counsel and, hence, the expense of defending himself, could be just as great as it would be if he were accused of some crime.}} {{smaller block|All of this is being proposed in the name of civil rights by persons calling themselves liberals.}} {{smaller block|How can we create rights by destroying rights? And how liberal is it?}} Mr. President, I wish to repeat a paragraph in the editorial which I believe is most important. It should appeal to every lawyer, and, in fact, to every citizen. It reads: {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.}} Mr. President, I believe we are setting a very dangerous precedent when the Government can bring suits of the kind provided in the civil-rights bill, even if an individual does not complain. The Government can file a suit in behalf of an individual, even if the individual has not complained, and it can bring a suit for an individual who has complained. In either case, the Government can substitute its name in behalf of the defendant in bringing the case. Furthermore, the Government would bear the cost of prosecuting the case. The poor defendant must pay his own expense. If an individual wishes to bring a case in court, why should he not pay his own expense? Why should the Federal Government bear the expense of a person whose statement may be true or which may not be true? I can foresee untold litigation. I can see all kinds of fabrications being made in order to have cases brought. It is a dangerous bill, Mr. President. It is far more dangerous than I believe the average man on the street has been able to understand. The average man in the street does not realize what is in the bill. I cannot imagine why Members of Congress would even consider passing such a bill. Again I say that it would not even have been introduced, in my opinion, or given any consideration at all, if it were not purely a political bill. Mr. President, I have an editorial published in the Greenville (S. C.) News of February 26, 1957, entitled “Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty.” {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty}}}}}} {{smaller block|({{sc|Editor’s Note}}.—The following editorial is taken from a statement prepared by the editor of the News at the request of the Governor of South Carolina.

It is being pushed in the same sort of spirit that motivated the vengeant and vindictive planners and executors of the reconstruction.}} {{smaller block|Not even during the tragic and oppressive reconstruction did a Congress, which was dominated by radicals and in which the conquered South had few friends and spokesmen, see fit to enact such laws as now proposed.}} {{smaller block|There was military occupation and corrupt government imposed from Washington, but there was no permanent board of inquisitors that could be turned into an agency of harassment and intimidation. There was injustice, but there was no permanent overturning of the processes of the courts.}} {{smaller block|Purged by bloodshed of the sin of slavery, which was not his alone, nor his country’s alone, the southern white resisted the reconstruction. He resisted it because he feared, with justification, that it was intended to take from him in order to give to the Negro. He resists court-decreed integration and the civil-rights proposals for the same reason—again with justification for his fears.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|NEGRO IS MISLED}}}} {{smaller block|The Negro was misled in those days, and he is being misled now.}} {{smaller block|The end of the abominable institution of slavery was inevitable, and it could have been accomplished without fratricide and without threatening the Union and creating abiding bitterness. At its end, the Negro was led to believe he could switch from the status of slave to that of master. In some instances, for a time, he did. In others, he was promised “40 acres and a mule,” but more often than not he didn’t know what to do with the 40 acres and he never got the mule.}} {{smaller block|The Negro again is being falsely led to believe that integration will solve all of his remaining problems and that all he needs to realize the millennium is a few more court decrees and Federal laws. He has been led to believe that political largesse will bring to him those things that he can best realize by earning and exercising the rights and privileges already available to him.}} {{smaller block|Until fairly recent decades, southern whites and Negroes engaged in a pathetic sort of competition for the lesser degree of poverty, but they have made progress together and they have achieved a mutual understanding. Education and a rising prosperity were easing the old bitterness and misunderstanding and improving relations between the races at a rate that has been positively amazing.}} {{smaller block|The tragedy of this era is that, since 1954, with the Supreme Court decision in the school cases, and especially since the renewal of agitation of civil-rights legislation with almost virulent vigor, this progress has been slowed down. And the Negro stands to lose the most. The bitterness and the old suspicions are being revived.}} {{smaller block|A few years ago in a prosperous South Carolina industrial city, a joint committee of white and Negro citizens conducted a survey of the needs of the Negro community, ranging from health and housing to transportation and recreation. Much progress came of it.}} {{smaller block|Also, a few years ago, with the help of the newspapers and interested white citizens, certain racial barriers in the public hospital were broken down and qualified Negro doctors were granted staff privileges for the first time on full equality with their white colleagues.}} {{smaller block|Along about the same time, the newspapers and interested white citizens campaigned for better housing for Negroes. City substandard housing laws were strengthened and better enforcement machinery established. The improvement in rental property has been marked.}} {{smaller block|Also, it was urged that property be made available to Negroes of means who wanted to build better homes away from congested areas in which Negroes tend to congregate. Subsequently, a fairly exclusive Negro residential section, near white neighborhoods, was started. There were no objections.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|PROGRESS IS SLOWED}}}} {{smaller block|This sort of things would be more difficult now, if not impossible, in no small part because the Negro is reluctant to cooperate. Both he and his white friends are subject to pressure and unpleasantness from radical elements among their respective races. The Negro apparently has been led to believe the moon may be within his grasp; and lawless and more extreme whites have been aroused.}} {{smaller block|In many cities in the South, the newspapers have sought for years to treat the Negro with the dignity any citizen deserves in their handling of the news. Special sections devoted to news of the Negro community, often prepared by Negro reporters, were started. Until recently, there was no protest. Now there are murmurs, direct protests, and anonymous letters.}} {{smaller block|None of this has to do with integration. Neither race is ready for integration, and may never be. But if they become so it will be on the only basis of successful close human association—natural affinity, mutual appreciation, and individual choice. Neither court decrees nor laws can create these conditions.}} {{smaller block|In his speech on conciliation with the American Colonies in 1775, Edmund Burke said, “I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.”}} {{smaller block|With the help of the proposed legislation, and the injunctive process, the Federal courts may one day find such a method, but the result will be the destruction, not the preservation of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|Burke also said in his Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontent in 1770 that, “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”}} {{smaller block|This cause is not the South’s alone. The extension of the judicial process into areas it was not intended to reach and stretching it for purposes it is incapable of serving; the striking down of the police power of the States in field after field; the unprecedented use of the injunctive power without jury trial to punish for contempt persons not before the court; all of these, as able judges and lawyers are solemnly warning, threaten the future security of all Americans.}} {{smaller block|The granting of the powers the Justice Department is now asking can only hasten this process. Even the layman can see that. The proposed commission, with power to investigate and harass at its own will could, in the wrong hands, become an instrument of coercion and intimidation.}} {{smaller block|Like other Americans, no southerner of good conscience condones the denial of rights, either by violation of the law or by threat or violence. But the atmosphere created by agitation is not only inciting lawless elements to violence, but is making such incidents even harder to deal with.}} {{smaller block|Of laws we have aplenty.

It is entitled “On Jury Trials.” This is what it has to say on this subject: {{smaller block|The committee in the Senate which has been considering the civil-rights bill has added an amendment to the bill which would allow persons accused of contempt to be given jury trials. Many Senators who were and are in favor of the civil-rights bill are supporting this amendment.}} {{smaller block|We do not see how Congress can go wrong in providing jury trials for persons accused of contempt. While we do not wish to join in a wholesale assault on the judiciary of this Nation, it is nevertheless true that the judiciary—like the other branches of the Government—must have its limitations.}} {{smaller block|No one branch of our Government functions perfectly, nor is it made up of perfect citizens. The judicial branch has assumed increasing power in recent years and it would be wise to safeguard the right of persons to a trial by jury because of what might follow if this right is denied citizens. It may be that only one issue is involved at present, but the future might well turn up an undesirable situation in which the principle wherein judges who find American citizens guilty of contempt, exercise such unlimited powers concerning various issues and freedom that any bill limiting the right of jury trial would be a tragedy and result in injustice to many Americans.}} {{smaller block|We do not believe that any one section of the country has a monopoly on all the good people in the United States. We believe that trial by jury is the best possible system establishing guilt and that the people themselves, who make up our juries, will come nearer seeing that justice is done than any group, acting individually, no matter how talented the various individuals may be.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Columbia (S. C.) State of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “A Wise Provision,” and here is what it has to say on the question of jury trials: {{smaller block|Administration forces fell before six Democrats and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who insisted upon including in the so-called civil-rights bill a proviso guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused in court in civil-rights cases. In supporting the amendment as a poor substitute for killing the bill, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} explained that the section would give civil-rights defendants the same right now enjoyed by trade unionists in labor injunction cases.}} {{smaller block|The development does not, however, meet with the approval of Attorney General Brownell, who has been playing out of position before now in lobbying for controversial and doubtful legislation, arraying section against section and class against class. He complains the proviso would permit practical nullification of proposed civil-rights legislation. In the words of Orphan Annie, “Would that be bad?”}} {{smaller block|One wonders just what the advocates of such legislation are after. Could they be seeking to destroy the Constitution?}} {{smaller block|Everything considered, the section guaranteeing jury trials to defendants in civil-rights cases follows the orderly procedure defined by the Founding Fathers as to the rights and dignity of the individual. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal triumphs of our Constitution as inherited from Magna Carta.

Here is what it has to say: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|A Principle of Rights: South Making Its Point}}}}}} {{smaller block|More Senators, it appears, are seeing the validity of the South’s insistence on trial by jury as a fixed point of law and due process—{{SIC|bone|borne}} of contention with the civil-rights brigade. They are seeing, surely, what logic underscores: that if this principle falls under the impact of biased thinking against the South, it falls for all. It is not, therefore, a regional issue, but national.

As a further point of edification, the fact of voting rights enjoyed and practiced in the South should be laid before him.}} {{smaller block|Who, influenced by propaganda to the contrary, has bothered to examine the record in State after State? By what process of competent investigation have these civil-rights firebrands arrived at a conclusion of wholesale indictment?}} {{smaller block|Voting is a privilege, as well as a duty, of citizenship, asserted and protected by law. With that principle there can be no quarrel. The issue is invasion by Federal authority, and methods of enforcement begetting strife by the measures of force contemplated in this iniquitous legislation.}} {{smaller block|There are States, outside the South, where people of voting age are denied the right to vote—Indians, for example. Negro citizens do vote, under the same rules of eligibilty applied in the case of white citizens; and if any Senator doubts that, he should come this way and watch.}} {{smaller block|In Tennessee, and other Southern States, he would find Negroes holding public office. In Nashville they elect their own representatives to city council; they have membership on the school board. They staff their schools. They are employed on the police department and the fire department.}} {{smaller block|Facts, it appears, are coming out in the Senate and registering—and they are facts answering organized diatribe; substantiating both the concept of justice and of constitutional law.}} {{smaller block|The South does not stand at the bar of public opinion convicted—just accused.

It is defending a basic right of responsible treatment, and the place of that defense is the floor of the Senate.}} {{smaller block|As manifested by the implied readiness of opponents to concede the trial-by-jury point, its stand to date is influencing that decision. It cannot compromise any principle to the detriment of established, constitutional rights, much less yield to the whip of caprice.}} A column written by Dr. John Temple Graves, one of the outstanding men in the South and in the Nation, printed in the Charleston, S.

When you sacrifice one part for another you decrease and endanger the total. When the right to jury trial is impeached to save the right to vote there is net loss, and the same loss runs the whole constitutional gamut.}} {{smaller block|Basically, all American rights are civil rights. States’ rights are civil. The rights of Congress against the Supreme Court are civil, and of the executive against each, and vice versa.}} {{smaller block|And when the Federal Government (or the State) invades areas never intended or authorized there is violation of the most civil right of all—the right to be let alone.}} {{smaller block|If the Founding Fathers made a mistake, if they failed to look ahead enough, if they should have anticipated a future so social and interrelated that nothing short of a totalitarian central government and law would serve, we should face it and get a new Constitution. Certainly we should not undertake to cover the situation by ignoring the Constitution in one place and insisting on it in another, sacrificing one civil right to make another safe.}} {{smaller block|Most of us believe no mistake was made, that liberty and justice can still be had in the great terms of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|If the President could just be reached on this jury-trial issue in the civil-force bill many of us who go on liking him believe he would see the South’s case as the Nation’s. The Baltimore Sun nails it thus: “The injunction contemplated would forbid actions already forbidden under Federal criminal laws. This being so, the injunction procedure is obviously a judicial shortcut, and one which would deprive those cited for contempt of a right which would be guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution (if they) were indicted for the same offense. It is proposed to assure one right—the right to vote—by ignoring another right—the right to a jury trial.”}} {{smaller block|As pointed out here many times, jury trials should be stretched just as far as contempt is stretched, you would think.

The first of these statements was made before the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on February 26.

Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question, with the understanding that he will not lose his right to the floor, and the understanding that it will not be considered a second speech or jeopardize the Senator’s right to the floor? Mr. THURMOND. If unanimous consent is granted, under the conditions which the distinguished Senator has outlined, I will be pleased to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from California? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I shall preface my question by this brief statement of fact, namely, since the House has adopted a ''sine die'' adjournment resolution, and there is no fixed period for adjournment, and the Senate can, and in my judgment will, continue in session as long as it is necessary to complete its business, I put these questions in all seriousness to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina: First. What is the Senator’s purpose by his interesting but prolonged remarks? Is it a matter of education of the Senate or of the country? Second. Is it to establish a record of discussion on the floor of the Senate? Third. Is it merely to delay a vote on the civil rights bill, which is the pending business? Fourth. Is it to prevent a final vote on H. R. 6127, the so-called civil rights bill? Fifth. Is it to make friends and to influence other Senators in the southern position? Sixth. Is it to emphasize to the Senate the need for a change, beginning in January, of rule XXII.? There may be other reasons, but I should be very much interested—and I believe the Senate would be interested also—if the Senator from South Carolina would agree to indicate the purpose of his prolonged address. Mr. THURMOND. I would merely say that my purpose in making the extended address is for educational purposes—to educate the Senate and the people of the country. There is no question in my mind that the so-called civil-rights bill violates the Constitution of the United States. I do not believe the Senator was in the Chamber when I spoke earlier and cited a decision pointing out that criminal contempt has been held to be a crime and that under the Constitution of the United States it is provided that a man charged with crime shall get a jury trial. The so-called compromise bill provides that if a person is sentenced by a judge by being fined more than $300 or imprisoned for more than 45 days, he will get a jury trial. The Constitution does not say that. The Constitution provides that if he is charged with a crime, he shall get a jury trial. I believe in the Constitution. I believe that the Constitution is clear. I hope the Senator will take the time one of these days—probably he will not have an opportunity soon—to read the address I have made in which I have gone into these matters and have tried to delineate them and point them out for the benefit of the American people, as well as for the benefit of the Senate. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am confident that the pending bill is a dangerous bill in a number of ways. I have pointed out that it is necessary that every State in the Nation have laws to protect the right to vote. The Senator’s own State of California has such laws. I started with the State of Alabama and read the laws for every State. Those laws were confirmed to be accurate by the Library of Congress. I read the State laws beginning with Alabama and ending with Wyoming. Every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote. I say there is no need for the pending bill. This is a matter that comes under the Constitution, and it should be left to the States. It is a State matter. It is not a Federal matter. Furthermore, the Federal Government has invaded the field. It has already invaded the field. I believe it made a mistake when it did so. I should like to invite the attention of the Senator—again I do not believe he was in the Chamber when I referred to it previously—section 594 of chapter 29 of title 18 of the United States Code. That section provides: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield again under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. That is the Federal law today. If anyone is being denied his right to vote today he has recourse to that statute. If anyone is being denied the right to vote and complains about it, the Justice Department fails to do its duty if it fails to prosecute under that section of the Federal statute. Either that condition exists or there are no just complaints. The Committee on the Judiciary held hearings for months on the question, and it did not have before it one valid complaint. It had some fictitious complaints from a parish in Mississippi. It turned out that they asked a witness to return the next day, but he did not return, and it proved that the whole testimony was a fabrication, according to the chairman of the committee. Therefore, there are State laws which protect the right to vote, and there is a Federal law which protects the right to vote. Under that act, if a man is tried, he would have a right to trial by jury. Under the so-called compromise, if he is tried, he would not have the right of trial by jury if the sentence were less than $300 or if the imprisonment were for less than 45 days. Ninety-nine percent of all the criminal contempt cases would fall within that sphere. I was a circuit court judge for 8 years and heard cases all over South Carolina. I cannot remember the case of even one man who was sentenced by me or by any other circuit court judge in South Carolina for contempt of court for longer than 45 days in jail. Therefore, the effect of the so-called compromise is to deny to the citizens of South Carolina and of the United States the right to a jury trial, as is guaranteed in several places in the Constitution. That is the reason I have made this extended address. It is to call to the attention of the Senate and to the people of the Nation that the pending bill is a dangerous bill. In my opinion, it is purely a political bill. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions as heretofore stated? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I can assure the Senator, whether we make that proviso in our remarks back and forth, the Senator will be fully protected in his rights to the floor. Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield to the Senator from California under those conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I did listen to the earlier part of the Senator’s address. I was in the Chamber at the time. I must confess that for several hours I did get some sleep and was able to freshen up and to change my clothes, and I am now back in the Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. I notice that the Senator looks very fresh at about 6:45 in the morning. Mr. KNOWLAND. Yes. I am glad to be here with the Senator. Of course, the question which obviously disturbed a majority of the two Houses of Congress was that the statutes which are now on the statute books were not effective in protecting those constitutional rights. The Senators who felt that way are just as sincere as the Senator from South Carolina. I know the Senator from South Carolina has a deep conviction and is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. However, I refer to the provisions of section 1 of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, which provides: {{smaller block|The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.}} Section 2 of the 15th amendment reads: {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.}} Both sections point up the fundamental constitutional right of American citizens and clearly underscore the fact that Congress not only has the right, but the responsibility in this field. The Senator may feel that in his State or perhaps in other States—and I have no doubt it is true in many areas of the South—there is no problem relative to the voting rights of American citizens. But at least the predominant opinion in Congress indicates that there is also a strong feeling that in many areas—and this may not be related only to the South, for that matter—the full rights under the 15th amendment are not being effectively implemented. It was for that reason that the House, by a vote, I believe, of more than 2 to 1, and the Senate finally by a very substantial majority, passed the bill, which is now going through another legislative process. It finally came back to the Senate floor after the House had concurred and amended the Senate version, as the House had a right to do. My only point is that obviously the Senate of the United States is going to stay in session and complete work on the proposed legislation. It may sit for the remainder of the week, and it may sit next month and, if necessary, the month after that. I wish to emphasize to the Senator from South Carolina that, so far as the recommendations of the minority leader might be followed—and I know of no difference of opinion so far as the majority is concerned, although I cannot speak for the majority, and I would not attempt to do so—there will be no ''sine die'' adjournment resolution adopted by the Senate which would permit Congress to adjourn the first session of the 85th Congress until we have completed the work on the pending legislation, which is the civil-rights bill, and completed the work on the proposed legislation dealing with the mutual aid appropriation bill. Therefore, there is no fixed hour and date of adjournment. I was wondering, therefore, why the Senator was making his extended address, and that is the reason I asked the questions I asked of him. He said he was making the address for the purpose of an educational campaign, for the benefit of the country and the Senate. I was wondering whether he hoped to prevent passage of the bill or merely delay its passage, or whether he had some other reason in mind. Mr. THURMOND. In answer to the distinguished Senator, I wish to say that I should be highly pleased if the bill did not pass. I should like to ask the Senator this question: Under the statute which I have just read—and that is not a State statute, but a Federal statute, which provides “whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote as he may choose,” and so forth, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both—is there any deficiency in the statute? Is that not as clear as it can be? If anyone interferes with another’s right to vote, or intimidates, or if he threatens or coerces, he shall be punished. Is that not what it says? If that is the case, why does the Senator believe we should have another statute on voting added to it? Is this statute deficient? The Senator says the present laws are defective, as I understand. The statute I have read is a criminal statute. It will punish a guilty person by fining him for as much as $1,000 and could send him to jail for a year. In what respect does the Senator believe the statute is defective? Mr. KNOWLAND. I shall not at this hour get into a detailed legal argument, because I am not a lawyer, but a newspaperman; furthermore, I would not attempt to put myself up against the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, who has been a judge in his own State and has been for a long time a distinguished member of the bar. I have listened to the arguments on the floor of the Senate. I have read a number of the reports and the proceedings, and I have had some discussions with people who are familiar with the circumstances connected with the subject. I do know that those in the Department of Justice who have been concerned with this problem apparently feel that that statute is not effective so far as the constitutional rights of American citizens are concerned. Secondly, I am not in a position to argue with the Senator relative to what the legal definition of coercion is. I do say to the Senator that I believe there are various forms of coercion, some of which might be very difficult to prove in a court of law, but which might still be equally effective in keeping people from exercising their voting rights. The coercion might consist of economic pressure, or there might be some difficulty about finding work in a community or there might be the difficulty of a small merchant maintaining his business. It might be very difficult to trace such things to the fact that a person had tried to go to a voting place on voting day to cast his vote. Nevertheless, such coercion could be quite effective in keeping a person from exercising his right to the voting franchise. It is also true that in the debate which has taken place on the floor of the Senate it was disclosed that in one of the parishes or voting districts in a Southern State which had been mentioned on the floor of the Senate, there had been the situation where certain facts were laid before a grand jury in that particular State, and the facts were very clear, but still no action was taken in that particular situation. I will say to the Senator that it should be remembered that the bill has now been stripped practically to a voting-rights bill. Furthermore, I certainly believe that the fundamental right of an American citizen in this day and age should be protected, because every citizen has the right to vote. If that right is assured to a citizen, in time he may help himself secure the other civil rights to which he is entitled and which are guaranteed to him by the 14th amendment. The bill before us, as I say, is primarily a voting-rights bill. Those who have had some responsibility in this field—and I think some knowledge of it also—feel that the procedure outlined in the bill would at least facilitate the exercise of the voting rights of American citizens in all sections of the country. Mr. THURMOND. I might say to the distinguished Senator that he is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. Even though he is not a lawyer, he knows a statute when he hears one read. The criminal statute I have read is just as plain as any criminal statute can be. I am in favor of having every qualified voter enjoy the right of franchise. I want to say that in my State every qualified voter has that privilege. No one—white, colored, or anyone else—is denied the right to vote in South Carolina. The statute I have read protects people from being coerced and intimidated and threatened in any way. If there is any violation of law now, a person who is discriminated against may go to the Department of Justice, and under the statute I have read a violator of that statute will be either sent to jail or fined or both. What the proposed compromise would do would be to take away that right of trial by jury. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say that both the original bill as passed by the two Houses and the final form now before us are not intended to deprive anyone of his vote, but to encourage the constitutional right of people to enjoy the right to vote. The fact of the matter is that quite a due process procedure is set up. If a person comes forward and alleges that he has been denied the right, there is a procedure set up by which he may go into Federal court, under his constitutional right, under the 15th amendment and the other constitutional rights he has, and make certain allegations. The judge must make certain findings. If he finds the facts are correct, he issues a court order, directed to what we in our State would call the registrar of voters, but what in other States might be the county clerk, or whatever else he might be, and says, in effect, “You are violating the constitutional rights of this man. He is being discriminated against under the laws of this State. Put him on the registration rolls.” If the local official complies with the law and complies with the Constitution, nobody is fined, and nobody goes to jail. It is only if the local official or the local individuals involved in the case ignore the order of the court and, in effect, say that “we will not comply with the order seeking to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens,” that the judge may, under either civil contempt, which may be used in most cases, and may in most cases be effective, or under the criminal contempt provisions, impose the penalties. So this bill is not seeking to punish people. To the contrary, it is seeking to gain for American citizens the very fundamental right to vote. If nobody is denied the right to vote in the State of the Senator from South Carolina, there will not be a single citizen in the State of South Carolina who will be involved in either a civil or criminal contempt. If nobody is being denied the right to vote in any other State, there will not be a single citizen, man or woman, who will be involved in either civil or criminal contempt under this bill. There will not be large numbers of persons who will be fined or jailed for 10 days or 30 days or 45 days, to force compliance with the constitutional rights of American citizens. That is going to be so only if the conditions which the Senator says prevail in his State do not prevail in other areas of the country and large numbers of American citizens are denied their constitutional rights. It seems to me it is all clear and simple. The Senator has nothing to fear in his own State or in any other State, because if nobody is being denied the right to vote, nobody can be punished by either civil or criminal contempt proceedings under the bill. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to say, in reply to that statement, whether a single person in South Carolina would be affected by the bill or not would not change my opinion about the bill, because the bill as passed by the House affects American citizens everywhere. The bill the Senate passed delineated and made a distinction between civil contempt, the purpose of which is to bring about compliance with an order, and criminal contempt, the purpose of which is to punish for a crime. A criminal contempt has been held, in a court decision which I cited earlier today, to be a crime. Criminal contempt is a crime. The bill as passed by the House provides for punishment for criminal contempt and provides that a judge can try the case, in his discretion. The defendant does not get a jury trial for a criminal contempt unless the punishment goes beyond 45 days or beyond a $300 fine. I am not concerned about the people of South Carolina violating the voting rights of citizens, because I do not think anybody in South Carolina is violating anyone’s voting rights. I presume this bill is aimed chiefly at helping the Negroes, is it not, Senator? Mr. KNOWLAND. No. The bill would be aimed at any American citizen, without regard to race, creed, or color, whose voting rights under the 15th amendment would be denied. Mr. THURMOND. As a matter of fact, it is the Negro whom it is chiefly aimed to help. Is that not a fact? Mr. KNOWLAND. I suppose most allegations of a denial of voting rights come from colored citizens of the United States, but I assume the same situation might apply to Indians, in some instances, or might apply to others who might be entitled, under the Constitution, to the right to vote; but it is not aimed at any one race or one section of the country. The Constitution, as the Senator well knows, and I think would not dispute, applies to all 48 States of the Union, and not merely to a part of the Union. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is correct, but I refer to the practical purpose of the bill. I understood that was so admitted, and one reason why the right of trial by jury was attempted to be taken away was that southern juries would not convict in cases involving the right of Negroes to vote. For the Senator’s information, in my State I would like him to know that in the 1952 election President Eisenhower lacked just a few votes of carrying the State. The Negroes voted in heavy numbers. The Negro newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer, of Columbia, S. C., published by and for Negroes, bragged about the fact that they were responsible for winning the State for Stevenson. It said that more than 80,000 of them had voted in that election, and that represented about one-fourth of the entire votes cast in that general election. The Negroes of our State comprise only 40 percent of the population. If they voted to the extent of almost one-fourth of all the votes cast in that election—and they probably voted more, because they admitted they cast that many—think it is indicative that the Negroes are voting in large numbers. Of course, they are not so well qualified to vote as are the White people. I do not know of a Negro in South Carolina who is qualified and wants to vote who is denied that privilege. So Negroes are voting in my State. Mr. KNOWLAND. I might say to the Senator I was in his State in 1952. I happened to travel with then General Eisenhower, who was a candidate for the presidency before he became President of the United States. I attended meetings with the President-to-be. The point I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not dispute the fact, as stated by the distinguished Senator, that a large number—perhaps a good majority—of the Negro citizens of this country or of his State may be registered Democrats. I think they may continue to vote for the Democratic ticket, so far as that is concerned. They may have been responsible, as the Senator says, for having carried South Carolina for Stevenson— Mr. THURMOND. That is what they said. Mr. KNOWLAND. Or, at least, that is what they said; but that would not change my viewpoint in the slightest, as a Republican, if they were entitled as American citizens to vote, even though they were responsible for the defeat of my party in that State. I might say that in the northern areas, the heavily populated areas, with large Negro populations, for the most part Negroes have voted the Democratic ticket, and generally for New Deal candidates, and it certainly is not politically advantageous to my party when they vote that way. That still would not change my viewpoint that, if they, are American citizens and if under the Constitution they are entitled to the right of any other citizen to vote, which the Constitution clearly gives them, both the Senate and the House, as well as the executive branch of the Government and the local public officials and the national public officials, have the responsibility to see that they are not denied the right to vote and to exercise their constitutional rights, whether the citizens may be predominantly Democratic, predominantly Republican, or predominantly Independent. That point is not at issue here. The issue is whether they are entitled, under the qualifications of the State laws, and under the Constitution of the United States, to vote. If they are, they should be assured that every public official who raises his hand to support both the State and National Constitution has the responsibility to see that citizens get the right to vote when they want to exercise it. In this country, we do not have coerced voting, where citizens have to go to the polls. But if citizens want to do so, they should be allowed to do so, without any direct intimidation or without any of the more subtle, indirect intimidations or coercions which sometimes can be practiced, as the distinguished Senator knows. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator if he has had evidence presented to him which has convinced him that there is a need for this bill to be passed, in spite of all the laws the States have to protect the right to vote, and in spite of section 594 of the United States criminal code which protects the right to vote. Has the Senator ever had evidence presented to him that convinced him it is necessary to pass the bill, in spite of the laws of the States and the Federal statutes? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator if I did not feel that it was both necessary and desirable to pass the bill, I would not have supported it. I believe there have been sufficient facts presented to indicate that a bill of this type is both necessary and desirable. I have never taken the position on the floor, or publicly or privately, in which I have made a blanket indictment and stated that southern juries would not convict, because I have the highest respect for the people of the South, for their responsibilities of citizenship, for their loyalty to this country, and for the fact that they have served in uniform side by side with citizens from other sections of the country in fighting off our enemies in the various struggles in which this Nation has been engaged. I have never suggested that there should be a blanket indictment of a whole people under any circumstances. I do not now say that the facts outlined by the Senator from South Carolina, with respect to his own State, are not correct. Of course, I do not know his State as well as does the Senator from South Carolina, but if he tells me that there are no cases where a person is deprived of his right to vote, where a Negro citizen, if he possesses precisely the same qualifications that would be expected of a white citizen— Mr. THURMOND. None that I know about. Mr. KNOWLAND. That he has exactly the same rights to register, exactly the same rights to vote, I take the Senator’s word for it, because I have great respect for him. I will say, however, that in the facts presented by the Attorney General’s office before the committee, relative to another State in the broad general area of the South—I might say the same thing might apply in an area of the North or the West, for that matter, because what we are seeking to protect is the rights of American citizens in all 48 States of the Union—it was shown that large numbers of persons who had been registered were purged from the registration rolls. The predominant number, if not all of the purgees, were members of the Negro race, with very few, if any, members of the white race. Purely on the law of averages, to a reasonable man, one would not have to be a lawyer to know that it does not seem to be a matter of chance. Then when they sought to re-register, according to the facts presented, the local registrar indicated, though there were several thousand of them, he could not register more than 50 a day. That meant those persons had to stand in line for long periods of time, which would naturally be a discouraging thing in trying to get back on the registration rolls. There was used the apparently rather interesting and novel provision of verbal question. I doubt very much whether many, if any, Members of the Senate could have answered some of the questions which were asked. If a question was answered one way, that apparently was not the right answer. If the question was answered the other way, which any reasonable person might have done, that apparently was not the right answer. Perhaps the same position would have been taken by the local registrar if the citizen involved had been of any other race, but, again, to a reasonable person it seems that there was at least an effort made to discourage American citizens from exercising the right of franchise. I again reiterate that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that occurrence did not take place in the State of South Carolina. The Senator has made a very fine statement of the rights the citizens of his State enjoy. I think all Americans will rejoice in that fact. I want to say there is nothing in the proposal before the Senate which will in the least change the power of the States to prescribe the qualifications of their voters. They have that right under our Federal system. I think, however, the States have the obligation not merely to give lip service to, but to follow both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and that whenever such qualifications are prescribed, whatever they may be, they should be applied impartially and equitably to every American citizen, regardless of his race, color, creed, or previous condition of servitude. Those are the words of the Constitution. Those are the words that every citizen occupying a position as a registrar, a county clerk, or a local voting commissioner has a full obligation to comply with. Such persons should not apply one rule to one group of citizens and a different rule to a different group of citizens. If they will apply the laws with equity and with impartiality, then they have nothing to fear in the slightest in the way of either civil or criminal contempt under this bill, at least in my judgment. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator from California one more question, and with that I will desist. Although the Senator is not a lawyer, he is one of the best read men in the United States. I imagine he is an expert on the Constitution, also, because he is a very deep student. I wonder how the Senator could agree to this compromise, which would deprive people in criminal contempt cases of the right to a trial by jury, when the Constitution is so clear on that point? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator that I will leave the matter to the lawyers, to debate later the specific point which the Senator mentions. I, at least, have heard of no section of the country where there is a provision for a trial by jury in an equity proceeding where there is a contempt of the court. Mr. THURMOND. I am speaking of criminal contempt. Mr. KNOWLAND. I know, but I am speaking also of a contempt of the court in carrying out its order in an equity proceeding. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to that I will say to the Senator I agree that in civil contempt cases under the present law the court has the right to use its power to bring about compliance with an order, in civil contempt cases. However, I am speaking of criminal contempt cases, which are provided for in the compromise bill. The bill provides for criminal contempt actions. Criminal contempt is a crime. I have here a decision which sustains that point. Since criminal contempt is a crime, there is a right to a trial by jury. The Constitution of the United States in article III., section 2, says this: {{smaller block|The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases or Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; * * *.}} The sixth amendment reads: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions—}} That is what we are referring to. We refer to a criminal prosecution for criminal contempt. It is a prosecution by the judge, who is the prosecutor, the legislature, the judge, and the jury. The court has held that criminal contempt is a crime, and the Constitution makes reference to all criminal prosecutions. We refer here to a criminal prosecution. The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * *.}} And so forth. In the seventh amendment to the Constitution there is also a reference to a jury trial. The amendment I have read is exactly to the point. If the Senator had provided in the compromise bill that the judge could impose a sentence of imprisonment for 1 day—not 45 days, but even 1 day—or a fine of even $1 in a criminal-contempt case, he would be giving the judge the power to try a man without a jury in violation of the Constitution, even though the punishment would be negligible. What I am opposed to is the fact that the compromise bill, the way it is written and the way it has come to the Senate, violates the Constitution of the United States. I am vitally concerned about that. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator will yield further, then I shall not interrupt him any more. All I can say to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is that the highest law officers of the Government of the United States are the Attorney General of the United States and representatives of the Department of Justice. They, too, have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The most able lawyers in the Department of Justice have looked over the proposed legislation, as well. In their judgment, it is constitutional and it does not violate the Constitution of the United States. The Senator is entitled, of course, to make the assertion that in his judgment the provision is not constitutional. Such arguments come up even before the Supreme Court of the United States, as the distinguished Senator knows, from time to time, as well as before other courts. Sometimes the judges can agree by a unanimous vote as to what they think is constitutional or what they think is unconstitutional. However, over the long period of our history there have been many notable cases relative to the constitutionality of some act of Congress or the constitutional rights of some individual as to which the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest judicial tribunal of the land, has divided on a 5-to-4 decision. The Senator’s assertion that the provision is not constitutional—I am sure the Senator would be the first to admit—does not make it unconstitutional. I quite admit that the assertion of any qualified lawyer on this side, who might make the assertion the provision was constitutional, would not, by that assertion, make it so. Nor would the opinion of the Attorney General make it so. At least I do not want the record to show that merely by having the Senator make the assertion that in his judgment it is not constitutional, necessarily, ''ipso facto'', that assertion makes a fact. Mr. THURMOND. Of course, we remember also that the Attorney General in the original bill wanted to transfer these matters to the equity side of the court to deprive citizens of the right of jury trial. We have to keep that in mind. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the distinguished Senator will yield further, I wish to thank him for his courtesy in yielding. I hope he has enjoyed our discussion as much as I have. I hope perhaps it has been a brief respite to him, under all the circumstances. I would stay to listen to the Senator, but I have a breakfast engagement with the President at the White House. I know under those circumstances the distinguished Senator will excuse me. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to yield to the distinguished Senator, for whom I have such high admiration. Mr. President, I continue to read my statement: {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTIES}}}} {{smaller block|Before taking up specific provisions of several of the bills pending before the committee, I should like to read for you two of the basic provisions in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|The ninth amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”}} {{smaller block|The 10th amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”}} {{smaller block|Those last two amendments of the Bill of Rights make clear the intent of the Founding Fathers. Their intent was that all rights not specifically listed, and all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government, would be held inalienable by the States, and the people.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS UNALTERED}}}} {{smaller block|This basic concept of the Bill of Rights has never been constitutionally amended, no matter what the Federal courts have done, no matter what the executive branch of the Federal Government has done, and no matter what the Congress might have done or attempted to do in the past. The people and the States still retain all rights not specifically delegated to the Federal Government.}} {{smaller block|Let us also consider these proposals from a practical standpoint.}} {{smaller block|What could be accomplished by a Federal law embodying provisions which are already on the statute books of the States that cannot be accomplished by the State laws? I fail to see that any benefit could come from the enactment of Federal laws duplicating State statutes which guarantee the rights of citizens. Certainly the enactment of still other laws not approved by the States could result only in greater unrest than has been created by the recent decisions of the Federal courts.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|MR. DOOLEY WAS RIGHT}}}} {{smaller block|The truth is very much as Mr. Dooley, the writer-philosopher, stated it many years ago, that the Supreme Court follows the election returns.}} {{smaller block|If he were alive today, I believe Mr. Dooley would note also that the election returns follow the Supreme Court.}} {{smaller block|And now it looks as if some people are trying to follow both the Supreme Court and the election returns. Having made these general comments, I would like to comment specifically on some of the pending proposals. First, on the proposal for the establishment of a Commission on Civil Rights.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|COMMISSION UNNEEDED}}}} {{smaller block|There is absolutely no reason for the establishment of such a commission. The Congress and its committees can perform all of the investigative functions which would come within the sphere of constitutional authority.}} {{smaller block|I do not believe the members of any commission, however established, could represent the views of the people of this country as well as the Members of Congress can. I hope that the members of this committee and the Members of the Congress will not permit themselves to be persuaded that anyone else can look after the problems of the people any better, or as well, as the Congress can.}} {{smaller block|Furthermore, there is no justification for an investigation in this field.}} {{smaller block|I hope this committee will recommend against the establishment of such a commission.}} {{smaller block|Another bill would provide for an additional Assistant Attorney General to head a department given by the Attorney General last year. I have searched the testimony given by the Attorney General last year before the committees of the Congress with regard to this proposal, and I have found no valid reason why an additional Assistant Attorney General is needed.}} {{smaller block|I can understand how an additional Assistant Attorney General might be needed if the Congress were to approve a Civil Rights Division and enact some of the other proposals in the so-called civil-rights bills. But they are proposals not dealing with criminal offenses—they deal with efforts of the Justice Department to enter into civil actions against citizens.}} {{smaller block|If the Justice Department is permitted to go into the various States to stir up and agitate persons to seek injunctions and to enter suits against their neighbors, then the Attorney General might need another assistant. However, the Justice Department should avoid civil litigation, instead of seeking to promote it.}} {{smaller block|I hope the members of this committee will recognize this proposal as one which could turn neighbor against neighbor, and will treat it as it deserves by voting against it.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|WORSE THAN ''EX POST FACTO''}}}} {{smaller block|Another proposal of the so-called civil-rights bills is closely related to the one I have just discussed. It would provide that—}} {{smaller block|“Whenever any persons have engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action * * * the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States but for the benefit of the real party in interest, a civil action or other proper proceeding or redress or preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order.”}} {{smaller block|Now that proposal is one which I would label as even more insidious than any ''ex post facto'' law which could possibly be imagined.}} {{smaller block|An ''ex post facto'' law would at least apply to some real act committed by a person which was not in violation of law at the time. The point is, however, in such instance the person would actually have committed the act.}} {{smaller block|This proposal would permit the Justice Department to secure an injunction from a Federal judge or to institute a civil suit on behalf of some person against a second person when the latter had committed no act at all. An injunction might be secured from a Federal judge charging a violation of the law without any evidence that a person even intended to do so.}} {{smaller block|How any person could support by oath a charge as to whether another person was about to engage in violating the law is beyond my understanding.}} {{smaller block|Many of the pioneers who settled this new continent came because they wanted to escape the tyranny of European despots. They wanted their families to live in a new land where everybody could be guaranteed the right to trial by jury, instead of the decrees of dictators.}} {{smaller block|Congress, as the directly elected representatives of the people, should be the last to consider depriving the people of jury trials. We should never consider it at all. But, if this proposal to strengthen the civil-rights statutes is approved, that would be its effect.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|AGENTS COULD MEDDLE}}}} {{smaller block|Under this provision, the Attorney General could dispatch his agents throughout the land. They would be empowered to meddle with private business, police elections, intervene in private lawsuits, and breed litigation generally. They would keep our people in a constant state of apprehension and harassment. Liberty quickly perishes under such government, as we have seen it perish in foreign nations.}} {{smaller block|A further provision of that same proposal would permit the bypassing of State authorities in such cases. The Federal district courts would take over original jurisdiction, regardless of administrative remedies, and the right of appeal to the State courts.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|STATE COURTS STRIPPED}}}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and vest the Federal courts with that authority.}} {{smaller block|Still another proposal among the so-called civil-rights bills would “provide a means of further securing and protecting the right to vote.” I have had a search made of the laws of all 48 States and the right to vote is protected by law in every State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|SOUTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION PROTECTS VOTER}}}} {{smaller block|In South Carolina, my own State, the constitution of 1895 provides in article III., section 5, that the general assembly shall provide by law for crimes against the election laws and, further, for right of appeal to the State supreme court for any person denied registration.}} {{smaller block|The South Carolina election statute spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court. It also requires a special session of the court if no session is scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|Article II., section 15 of South Carolina’s constitution, provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State.}} {{smaller block|In pursuance of the constitutional provisions, the South Carolina General Assembly has passed laws to punish anyone who shall threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. Anyone who violates any of the provisions in regard to general, special, or primary elections, is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.}} {{smaller block|In this proposed Federal bill to “protect the right to vote,” a person could be prosecuted or an injunction obtained against him based on surmise as to what he might be about to do. The bill says that the Attorney General may institute proceedings against a person who has engaged or “is about to engage in” any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege concerned with voting.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMENDING}}}} {{smaller block|I believe the effect of enactment of such legislation as these proposals would be to alter our form of government, without following the procedures established by the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|I believe the effect of enacting these bills into law would be to take from the States power and authority guaranteed to them by the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|In recent years there have been more and more assaults by the Federal Government on the rights of the States, as the Federal Government has seized power held by the States. In many instances, I believe, this has been done without a constitutional basis.}} {{smaller block|The States have lost prestige. But more important, the States have lost a part of their sovereignty whenever the Federal Government has taken over additional responsibilities. That loss might seem unimportant at the time, but gradually it could become a major part of the sovereignty of the States.}} {{smaller block|Officials of the Federal Government, whether in the executive, legislative, or the judicial branch, should not forget to whom they owe their allegiance. Each of us owes his allegiance to the Constitution and to the people—not to any agency, department, or person. We have taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|We must take into account the facts as they really are, and not be panicked by the organized pressures which so often beset public officials.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|STATES CREATED UNION}}}} {{smaller block|We must not lose sight of the fact that the States created the Federal Union; the Federal Government did not create the States.}} {{smaller block|All of the powers held by the Federal Government were delegated to it by the States in the Constitution. The Federal Government had no power, and should have no power, which was not granted by the States in the constitution.}} {{smaller block|If this Congress approves the legislation embodied in the bills pending before the committee, it will be an unwarranted attempt to seize power not rightfully held by the Congress or by any branch of the Federal Government.}} {{smaller block|I hope this committee will consider these facts and recommend the disapproval of these bills.}} Mr. President, that was the statement I made before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on February 26. Mr. President, on August 6 I made my third address on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced my vigorous objections to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127, as amended by the Senate, which was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of this bill. I shall now repeat my several objections to this milder form of the bill as I stated them on August 6. These were my words at that time: {{smaller block|Mr. President, I am opposed to the creation of a Commission on Civil Rights as proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127.}} {{smaller block|To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a Commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, such an investigation should be conducted by the States or by an appropriate committee of the Congress, acting within the jurisdiction of Congressional authority. It should not be done by a commission.}} {{smaller block|I also object to part I. of H. R. 6127 because of the fact that it places duties upon the Commission and endows it with powers which no governmental commission should have.}} {{smaller block|In fact, Mr. President, the language of the bill proposing to establish this Commission is so broad and so general that it may encompass more evils than have yet been detected in it.}} {{smaller block|Under its duties and powers the Commission would be able to subpena citizens to appear before it to answer questions on many subjects outside the scope of elections and voting rights.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(1) Investigate allegations in writing under oath or affirmation that certain citizens of the United States are being deprived of their right to vote and have that vote counted by reason of their color, race, religion, or national origin; which writing, under oath or affirmation, shall set forth the facts upon which such belief or beliefs are based.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, the bill, in part IV., contains an additional protection of the voting right of citizens above and beyond present State and Federal laws. Provision is made for enforcement of part IV., and there were already sufficient enforcement provisions to carry out the intent of the existing State and Federal laws. I do not see how a commission could enhance officers nor the powers of law enforcement officers nor the enforcement and punitive authority of the courts.}} {{smaller block|I can see no valid reason why a commission should be created, in addition to the legal enforcement procedures, unless the purpose is for the Commission to stir up litigation among our people.}} {{smaller block|This bill has been advertised, promoted, and ballyhooed as a right-to-vote bill. However, I want to cite two paragraphs which give broad authority for investigations other than alleged violations of a person’s right to vote.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|“(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|Instead of limiting the power of the Commission, these two paragraphs provide it with ''carte blanche'' authority to probe into and meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals which the Commission and members of its staff could conjure up.}} {{smaller block|I want to call particular attention to a divergence in language between paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 refers to a study of “legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection.” Paragraph 3 says “appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection.”}} {{smaller block|The significant thing here is the omission of the specific intent of paragraph 2. Although the language of paragraph 2 is obscure and omits a governmental reference, it obviously must refer to State and local governments, else it would be redundant and have no meaning at all.}} {{smaller block|Also, as I pointed out, investigations conducted under paragraphs 2 and 3 could go far afield from the question of voting rights. The Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools, and elsewhere, under the authorization of these two paragraphs. Combining its authority to investigate on an unlimited scale and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions, the Commission would have a powerful weapon.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I do not believe the people of this country realize the virtually unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. While the Commission would have no power to implement its desires, I do not believe the people of this country want such a totalitarian type of persuasion imposed upon them.}} {{smaller block|Part I. of H. R. 6127 purports to create a Civil Rights Commission. Actually, it would create a traveling investigation commission.}} {{smaller block|Section 103(b) of part I. also would place tremendous power within the grasp of the Attorney General with reference to members of the Commission “otherwise in the service of the Government.” The clear implication is that whoever drafted this scheme to send traveling agents over the country intended to make use of certain members of the executive branch of the Federal Government. I don’t believe it would be necessary to look further than the Justice Department to determine where Commission members already in Government service would be secured. By placing his employees on the Commission, the Attorney General would transform the traveling agents into an additional investigative arm of the Justice Department.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I next call attention to the potential abuse found in section 102(g) under the innocuous title, “Rules of Procedure of the Commission.” That section provides that “no evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be released or used in public sessions without the consent of the Commission. Whoever releases or uses in public without the consent of the Commission evidence or testimony taken in executive session shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than 1 year.”}} {{smaller block|In an editorial of July 26, 1957, the Washington Post very correctly pointed out how this section could be used to imprison reporters and other citizens for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them.}} {{smaller block|This editorial provides a penetrating and enlightening criticism of this section. Because of its pertinency and fine analysis, I shall read the last three paragraphs of the editorial which is entitled “Open Rights Hearings,” which states:}} {{smaller block|“The bill contains an invitation to the Commission to operate behind closed doors. It provides that ‘if the Commission determines that evidence or testimony at any hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, it shall * * * receive such evidence or testimony in executive session * * *.’ Some closed sessions may be necessary to avoid unfair reflections upon individuals, but these should certainly be an exception to the general rule. In our opinion, this section ought to be rewritten in more positive vein to provide that sessions of the Commission should be open to the public, unless it should find that closed hearings were essential to avoid unfairness.}} {{smaller block|“The House also wrote into the bill a dangerous section providing for the fining or imprisonment for not more than 1 year of anyone who might ‘release or use in public,’ without the consent of the Commission, any testimony taken behind closed doors. If the Commission should choose to operate under cover, without any valid reason to do so, newspaper reporters and other citizens could be jailed for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This is a penalty that has been shunned even in matters affecting national security. Such a provision is an invitation to abuse and a serious menace to the right of the people to know about the activities of governmental agencies.}} {{smaller block|“It is well to remember that this would not be merely a study commission. In addition it would be under obligation to investigate allegations that persons were being deprived of their rights under the 14th and 15th amendments. It could subpena witnesses and documents and appeal to the courts for enforcement of such edicts. Its powers would be such that it should be held to scrupulous rules of fairness. To encourage the Commission to operate in secret, and then to penalize news mediums and citizens for disclosing what should have been public in the first place, would be the sort of mistake that Congress ought to avoid at the outset.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I think the points made in the editorial are clear and valid. Secrecy in the activities of such a Commission could only lead to a denial of the rights of an individual rather than to protection of his rights.}} {{smaller block|Another subject which must not be passed over is the subpena power of the Commission. Section 105(f) provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding Commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed.}} {{smaller block|Neither would the power contained in section 105(g) which provides that Federal courts shall have the power, upon application by the Attorney General, to issue “an order requiring” a witness to answer a subpena of the Commission and “any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.”}} {{smaller block|The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority of the traditional American factfinding commission. I look with suspicion upon such a Commission so endowed with authority, and I object to its establishment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to discuss another reason, briefly, why I would be opposed to the establishment of the Commission proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. Every appropriation bill which has come before the Senate this year has been reduced by the Senate below the budget request. The people of this country have called upon the Members of Congress to reduce the costs of government, not to increase them by creating new agencies or commissions.}} {{smaller block|The advocates of the Commission might argue that the cost of its operation would not be great, but nowhere in the records of the hearings have I found an estimate of what the total cost would be. If the Commission were to exist only for the 2 years provided in the bill, the compensation and ''per diem'' allowance of Commission members would amount to more than a quarter of a million dollars, not counting their travel allowances.}} {{smaller block|Since there is no limitation on the number of personnel which might be appointed by the Commission, there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of personnel salaries and expenses. Since the Commission is designed to travel over the country at will, very heavy travel expenses undoubtedly would be incurred.}} {{smaller block|The taxpayers would never know how many of their tax dollars were wasted by virtue of the seemingly innocuous language in section 105(e). Unknown, concealed costs are not, however, the only dangers lurking in that subsection. A serious departure from sound legislative procedure is also involved.}} {{smaller block|In the past, when creating an agency or commission, Congress retained control of its creation by the appropriation power. This is a wonderful check, Mr. President, against the abuse or misuse of Commission authority. Scrupulous care should be taken to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|However, section 105(e) provides that “all Federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the Civil Rights Commission could call on the other governmental agencies to perform many of its tasks. Congressional control over the Commission would be much less than if the Commission had to depend on its own appropriations and would not be permitted to use the resources of other agencies. Once the commission is created, only another law can check its activity during the period of its existence.}} {{smaller block|Another thing that concerns me about this Commission is the fact that once a Government agency or commission is established, nothing else on earth so nearly approaches eternal existence as that Government agency or commission. Mr. President, I feel that the 2-year limitation placed upon the Commission in this bill would simply be a starting point, and the people of this country should realize that at this time.}} {{smaller block|With further reference to section 104(a), I want to point out the use of the mandatory word shall. This word requires the Commission to investigate all sworn allegations submitted to the Commission of any citizen allegedly being deprived of his right to vote.}} {{smaller block|But the provision neglects to require that such allegations be submitted by parties in interest—not simply by some meddler who seeks to create trouble between other persons. This is another provision of this bill similar to section 131(c) which would permit the Attorney General to make the United States a party to a case without the consent of the party actually involved.}} {{smaller block|Another objection to 104(a) is that under this provision a person could make an allegation to the Commission against a person who was not even a citizen of the same State. Even so, under the mandatory language of section 104(a), the Commission would be required to make an investigation of the charges.}} {{smaller block|Since the Commission is limited by section 102(k) to subpenaing witnesses to hearings only within the State of residence of the witness, there would be no opportunity in such a situation for the accused to confront his accuser. Charges against a person should not be accepted by the Commission unless the accuser is a citizen of the same State as the person he is charging with a violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|Also, Mr. President, once the Commission has received the sworn allegation, there is no requirement that other testimony received relating to the allegation be taken under oath. Failure to make all persons giving testimony subject to perjury prosecutions in the event they testify to falsehoods would surely destroy the value of any such testimony received.}} {{smaller block|The Commission could and might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony; but I should not like to see the Senate leave that point to the discretion of the Commission because, in my judgment, the Congress should require that practice to be followed.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, as I stated earlier, it is my view that an inquiry into the field of civil rights, or so-called civil rights, is entirely unnecessary at this time. The laws of the States and the Federal laws are being enforced effectively.}} {{smaller block|Should there come a time when information might be needed on this subject, the Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with deliberation and care. The appropriate committees of the Congress itself should hold hearings limited to the jurisdiction of the Congress, and the Congress should make its own determination as to the need for legislation.}} {{smaller block|There is no present indication that any such study will be needed.}} {{smaller block|Part II. of the bill still provides for the appointment of one additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. As I have stated in previous addresses, there is absolutely no need for an additional Attorney General to be appointed at a cost to the taxpayers of $20,000 per year.}} {{smaller block|Of course, that would merely be a small part of the total cost because a large staff of lawyers would also be employed.}} {{smaller block|The other provisions of the bill do not necessitate the establishment of a civil-rights division in the Justice Department, because there is no indication there would be any substantial increase in such cases with which the Department should be concerned.}} {{smaller block|As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have admitted time and again here in the Senate that there has been a steady decrease in the number of civil-rights cases throughout the country.}} {{smaller block|Since there has been a decrease in civil-rights cases, and since there is no indication that any increase should be expected, I can see absolutely no reason for the expansion of the present civil-rights section of the Justice Department into a Civil Rights Division with an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the fact that sufficient justification has not been presented for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, I hope the Senate will not approve such additional expenditures as would be required for this purpose. In my opinion, the Attorney General has failed entirely to show a need for an additional assistant.}} {{smaller block|Part III. of the bill as amended has been thoroughly discussed and I shall not dwell on that at this time.}} {{smaller block|Part IV., which is the section dealing with what the advocates of the bill have said was the entire purpose of the bill, still has provisions which are objectionable to me. Section 131(c) still contains language which, to me, borders on an effort at thought control instead of providing an unneeded additional guaranty of the right to vote. Also, it gives the Attorney General undue authority. The section reads as follows:}} {{smaller block|“(c) Whenever any person has engaged, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage, in any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege secured by subsection (a) or (b), the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, a civil action or other proper proceeding for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order. In any proceeding hereunder the United States shall be liable for costs the same as a private person.”}} {{smaller block|As long ago as February 26, when I appeared before the special Judiciary Subcommittee of the House of Representatives to testify against pending civil-rights bills, I expressed my opposition to the language contained in the section I. have just quoted. I do not believe it possible for the Attorney General, for any of his representatives, or for anybody else to determine what is in another person’s mind and whether he is about to engage in some violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|If the Attorney General should attempt to ascertain what is going on in the minds of other persons, he will need soothsayers and prophets instead of an additional Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|I object to this language because I do not believe it possible for any witness to testify truthfully that he knows another person was about to violate the law, unless some overt action had been taken by the accused person.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, an attempt to apply this provision against American citizens would be completely out of keeping with the guaranties of personal freedom contained in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|I object also to the authority granted the Attorney General in section (c) to “institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States,” a civil action or other court proceeding on behalf of a person without the consent of that person.

It is not necessary to give the Attorney General this extreme power of absolute discretion to be exercised as he desires on behalf of some individual who may not wish to take court action or to have anybody else take such action on his behalf.}} {{smaller block|If one of the duties of the proposed additional Assistant Attorney General would be to seek out persons and insist upon entering the courts on their behalf, this provision, combined with part II., provides another objection to the appointment of an Assistant Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|The American system has never condoned the idea that a third party should stir up trouble between two other persons.

I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H.

I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts.}} {{smaller block|There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter.

But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them.}} {{smaller block|The laws of all the 48 States contain provisions protecting the right to vote. No additional protection is needed beyond existing State and Federal laws.}} {{smaller block|In my own State of South Carolina, the constitution of 1895 required the general assembly to provide by law for the punishment of crimes against the election laws. That has been done. The State constitution further required a provision to permit a person to appeal to the State supreme court if he should be denied registration. The election law spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court, and requires that the court hold a special session if one is not scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|South Carolina’s constitution also provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of this constitutional provision, the South Carolina General Assembly has enacted laws for the punishment of anyone who threatens, mistreats, or abuses any voter in an effort to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. These laws apply to all elections. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the existing laws of the States and the existing Federal laws, I now contend, as I have contended since the so-called civil-rights bills were introduced, that any qualified voter in the United States is fully protected in his right of suffrage.}} {{smaller block|This bill, H. R. 6127, is unnecessary.

They have removed the authority for the use of military forces in cases of alleged civil-rights violations. They have made the proposed Commission answerable to Congress as well as to the President, and have provided for the members to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. They have better defined and narrowed the powers of Federal judges in contempt proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R. 6127. However, nothing could entirely remove the objectionable features of this packaged bill of goods, submitted to the American people under a deceptive label.}} {{smaller block|I shall vote against passage of H. R. 6127, because I believe that in so doing I shall be casting a vote for the preservation of our liberties, and for the preservation of constitutional government in this country.}} Mr. President, that was the statement which I made on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced vigorous objection to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127 as amended by the Senate. Of course, the Senate bill was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of the bill. Mr. President, I now wish to discuss part IV. of H. R. 6127 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution. {{smaller block|PART IV.—TO PROVIDE MEANS OF FURTHER SECURING AND PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE}} Part IV. of the proposed civil-rights bill confers on the Attorney General the right to bring civil action and seek an injunction in a Federal district in the name of the United States if he believes any person is violating or about to violate either of two laws presently existing for the protection of voters. Let us examine the two laws the Attorney General seeks to enforce by civil suit or injunction. The first of these laws, presently appearing as section 2004 of the Revised Statutes of 1874—title 42, United States Code, section 1971—is actually section 1 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870—Sixteenth United States Statutes at Large, page 140. This bill, S. 810 and H. R. 1293, passed the respective Houses of Congress without debate on its merits under the rule on motion. This bill as it passed Congress contained in its second section a definite provision that civil damages to the aggrieved might be recovered through civil suit in the Federal courts. Furthermore, it provided for the obtaining of political office by civil suit through ''quo'' warrant proceedings in Federal courts. On May 20, 1870, an attempt was made in the Senate to allow third parties to sue in behalf of the aggrieved party. This is the same proposal contained in the present bill whereby the Attorney General would be allowed to bring civil action and seek injunctions. Even this radical 41st Congress would not accept any such proposition providing double penalties. The proposition in the present bill would provide double penalties because present law contained in both title 18, Section 242—Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law—and title 42, Section 1971—Race, Color, or Previous Condition Not To Affect Right to Vote—afford appropriate criminal and civil remedy. To show how the Senate in 1870 rejected such an idea of double penalties, let us examine the colloquy in the Senate on the proposal to allow someone other than the aggrieved to bring civil suit—Congressional Globe, volume 93, 41st Congress, 2d session, 1870, pages 3563–3564: {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I understand I am in order in offering to amend the amendment.}} {{smaller block|The {{sc|Presiding Officer}}. The amendment to the amendment is in order.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I will repeat it, then, for the information of the Senate. I move to amend the Senate bill in section 2, line 15, by striking out the words “the person aggrieved thereby” and inserting “any person who shall sue for the same.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. I hope that this amendment will not be agreed to. There are now two views taken of this branch of the bill as it stands. One is that there ought not to be any provision at all for the party aggrieved; that it ought all to be out; and another view is that taken by my friend from Alabama, that it does not go far enough; that we ought not to confine this redress to the person whose vote is refused. The committee considered both those views, and thought, in analogy to State legislation and to the simple proprieties of justice, that this middle ground was the true one.}} {{smaller block|If a voter is deprived of his right to vote by the misconduct of an official, it is a personal grievance to him, an actionable injury, for which all civilized laws give him redress in some form. It is true that in most States and countries no specific amount of damages is allowed, for the reason that it is thought safer, inasmuch as that might be a matter of speculation, to leave it under the circumstances of each case to be great or small, as a jury shall think it wise to make it. But in applying the 15th amendment, which is intended to secure the rights of a large class of the population of the United States, and to secure their rights in courts which may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, by juries who may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, in communities where the local officers are found to be those who deny the rights that the 15th amendment secures, we thought it wise not to leave it to an unfriendly jury to give only 1 penny damages, if a man under the 15th amendment was deprived of a right he had, but to fix the sum the party should be entitled to recover as his damages; and on the other hand, in a community where juries might be very favorable to the party aggrieved, we thought it right to impose upon juries a limit above which they ought not to go; so that they should not either give no damages at all nor excessive damages.}} {{smaller block|This branch of the section, therefore, is framed upon that theory. It is to give to the person aggrieved, as damages for the deprivation of his rights as a citizen, a private right of his own, a right to sue, which all laws give; it would not be necessary to put that into the statute—he would have the right of action; but to fix the amount for each specific wrong to him {{SIC|whch|which}} he should be entitled to recover. Then we provide in another part of the bill, and perhaps in the same section, just as we ought to do if we are to have any law at all, that the officer guilty of this wrong to the citizen is also guilty of an offense against the public, a criminal misdemeanor, for which he may be indicted and fined, of course within certain limits, in the discretion of the court. I submit to my friend from Alabama whether, on the whole, this middle ground, which is defensible both by philosophy and by analogy, is not the true one.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I desire to make this bill as effective for the purpose intended as possible. The persons who will be aggrieved, particularly in our section of the country, will in the main be ignorant and timid persons, who will be afraid to sue. The fact that they may be afraid to go to the polls and vote is evidence that they will not perhaps have the courage and fearlessness to sue; but there may be some third party who would be willing to enforce the penalty. I think in the great majority of cases the person aggrieved would not avail himself of this provision.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Then, I suggest to my friend that he would not be entitled to any action at all under this section, because this is not a section to give every man $500 who is afraid to offer to do what he has a right to do; but it is to give him as damages the sum of $500 for a positive and specific denial to him of the exercise of a right that he attempts to exercise; otherwise, he would have no cause of action. You cannot give a right of action to anybody because he is intimidated. The intimidation part of the law must be purely criminal, and is found in another part of the bill.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. But my amendment would give a remedy by enabling any other person than the party aggrieved to enforce the penalty. The party aggrieved I think in most cases would fail to enforce it; but some other party might.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Some other party may in his name.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I desire to say a word in regard to the particular amendment now pending. This bill is for the purpose of enforcing the 15th amendment, which applies to colored voters, most of whom reside in the section of the country from which the Senator from Alabama and myself come. The great and most effectual means used to interfere with their exercise of the right secured to them by the 15th amendment is by intimidation, by violence. I think that the penalty which is named in this second section, to be enforced by the party aggrieved, would never be put into operation at all. The purpose of the bill is to protect those citizens against intimidation from voting.}} {{smaller block|I confess that there is something in the suggestion of the Senator from Vermont, that there is no intimidation in this particular section aimed at. But, sir, it is perfectly sure that the very same means of intimidation which prevents a colored citizen from voting will be resorted to to prevent him from bringing this penal action, and unless the section is amended as suggested by the Senator from Alabama, I do not believe that an action will ever be brought in those States, because it is much more difficult for one of those citizens to bring and maintain a criminal action than it is for him to perform the single act of voting.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Will my friend permit me to make a suggestion right there?}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. Certainly.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. If you take out this penalty, as it is called, really liquidated damages, from the person who is aggrieved, whose right is denied, and who has suffered injury, and give it to anybody who will sue for it, it becomes a pure penalty. Then the question is, whether you can have a bill which contains double penalties; whether you are to punish, in the strict sense of punishment, a man twice for the same offense; because my friend will see that the section, in addition to giving these damages to the party aggrieved as damages, makes it a criminal misdemeanor, punishable on indictment and conviction by a fine of not less than $500 and imprisonment not less than a month nor more than a year. I suggest to my friend, who is a cultivated and educated lawyer, whether he would not in court find himself in great difficulty with a bill of double penalties, which were purely such.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I have never examined that question under the laws of the United States. I only know that is frequently done in my own State. We have statutes with double penalties, as referred to by the Senator, and we have never had any difficulty in that State with regard to them.}} {{smaller block|But I understood the committee to mean by this section that there was danger in the States where it is principally to apply of not being able to obtain a grand jury who will find a bill of indictment, and that in the event no bill of indictment could be found before a grand jury the party aggrieved, or, if amended as the Senator from Alabama suggests, any person in the community may still punish the offender by bringing a penal action. It seems I had mistaken the purpose of the committee entirely from what is said by the Senator from Vermont. I think, nevertheless, the amendment had better be made, unless there really be that legal objection which the Senator suggests as to double penalties, so that it could not, under the laws of the United States and the practice of the United States courts, be enforced. If that were so, it would be conclusive that the amendment ought not to be adopted. I did not understand the Senator as expressing the positive opinion that such could not be done.}} Now, Mr. President, I shall discuss injunctions issuing from Federal district judges on the question of a person’s qualification for voting. The civil-rights bill in part IV. confers on the district courts of the United States jurisdiction to issue injunctions in civil-rights actions and it is to be assumed that these injunctions will concern, among other supposed rights, the right to vote. Actually appropriate remedy already exists where a person’s civil rights are violated. Section 242 of title 18, United States Code, provides a penalty and damages may be recovered in a civil action. The West Virginia Jehovah’s Witnesses case is a typical example of adequate remedy existing in such cases. In this case, the United States attorney was unable to get an indictment by the grand jury. He therefore proceeded to prosecute by information, as provided by rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and subsequently got a conviction. The information charged that two public officers, acting under color of law, had willfully deprived their victims of the Federal rights of free speech, freedom of religion, the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, and the right to equal protection of the laws. The conviction was upheld by the United States court of appeals—''Catlette'' v. ''U. S.'' ((1943) 132 F. 2d 902). Civil suits were brought by the Witnesses against their prosecutors—those who had deprived them of their rights—and a settlement was made totaling $1,170 in damages which was paid. How can the Congress vest jurisdiction in Federal courts to determine the qualifications of voters and allow Federal judges to issue injunctions in effect requiring that certain persons—the judge thinks are qualified—shall be registered and allowed to vote? The qualifications of voters are fixed and enumerated in the constitution of each sovereign State. For purposes of determining who is entitled to vote in each State for United States Representatives and Senators, the Federal Constitution simply adopts such qualifications as the State has fixed for voting for members of that State’s legislature. The language of article I., section 2, clause 3 of the United States Constitution reads: {{smaller block|The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.}} Similarly, the 17th amendment adopts for the purpose of electing United States Senators such qualifications as the States have fixed: {{smaller block|The Senate of the United States shall be composed of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for 6 years; and each Senator shall have 1 vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.}} In the fixing of qualifications of voters the States are limited only by the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment in that the right to vote may not be denied because of race or color or sex, respectively. That the respective States determine who are entitled to vote has never been seriously controverted. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the right to vote comes from the State. In declaring sections 3 and 4 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870, unconstitutional, the Supreme Court in 1875 said—''U. S.'' v. ''Reese'' ((1875) 92 U. S. 214, 217, 218); also ''Butts'' v. ''Merchants and Miners Transportation Co.'' ((1913) 230 U. S. 126): {{smaller block|The 15th amendment does not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference, in this particular, to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race, etc., as it was on account of age, one race having certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to this amendment, there was no constitutional guaranty against this discrimination; now there is. It follows that the amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right which is within the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This, under the express provisions of the second section of the amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation.}} This leads us to inquire whether the act now under consideration is appropriate legislation for that purpose. The power of Congress to legislate at all upon the subject of voting at State elections rests upon this amendment. The effect of article I., section 4, of the Constitution, in respect to elections for Senators and Representatives, is not now under consideration. It has not been contended, nor can it be, that the amendment confers authority to impose penalties for every wrongful refusal to receive the vote of a qualified elector at State elections. It is only when the wrongful refusal at such an election is because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, that Congress can interfere, and provide for its punishment: If, therefore, the third and fourth sections of the act are beyond that limit, they are unauthorized.}} Thus, if the 15th amendment has not conferred the right to vote upon anyone, how can Congress give a Federal judge authority to confer that right by injunction? The Attorney General knows that it is a settled principle of law that an injunction will not issue to prevent a crime. At the present time the laws governing enforcement of civil rights are criminal statutes and as such he seeks to have them reenacted as civil statutes so he can secure injunctions. An injunction is really a serious proposition. Actually an injunction is a proceeding in equity and not of law and under this principle since all of the States have adequate procedure for determining the qualifications of voters in courts of law, injunctions cannot issue in such cases. An injunction is actually the giving of validity to a judge’s own individual opinion. The injunction had its origin during the reign of Henry VIII., when Cardinal Wolsey augmented the authority of the Court of Chancery in exercising his equitable authority over everything that could be a matter of judicial inquiry. Both Wolsey and his successor, Sir Thomas More, were severely criticized by the English judiciary for issuing injunctions in equity and thereby substituting their individual opinions for the verdict of a jury in a common law court—the Law magazine, London, volume XXVII., 1870, pages 1–25. Such great importance is attached to the issuance of an injunction that Lord Correnham in his judgment in ''Brown'' v. ''Newall'' ((1870), 2 M. and C. 558, 570), said: {{smaller block|Now, that that ''ex parte'' injunction was an order which ought not to have been made, is not in dispute. It has been subsequently dissolved, and nothing is attempted (570) to be said in support of it at the bar; and it is impossible that it could have been sustained. The order was a departure from the known and established rule and practice of this court. Nothing is so difficult as to bring within any general rule every case in which a special injunction ought to be granted; but, when an action has regularly proceeded, and is on the very eve of trial, an ''ex parte'' injunction to stop it is an order such as I have not before seen. The vice chancellor appears to have stated that the order was made under some misapprehension of the facts; and indeed it is quite obvious that it must have been so, for the vice chancellor could not have made the order if the facts had been thoroughly understood. It is very probable that some facts were then supposed to exist which did not actually exist.}} {{smaller block|I am not entitled, however, to assume that the order was made upon any other grounds than those stated in the affidavit which was used upon the application for the injunction; and I am, therefore, to see whether, on that affidavit, the parties have suppressed or misrepresented facts in such a way as was calculated to induce the court to grant the injunction.}} {{smaller block|I am most unwilling to lay down any rule which should limit the power and discretion of the court as to the particular cases in which a special injunction should or should not be granted; but I have always felt—and since I have been upon the bench I have seen no reason to alter my opinion—that extreme danger attends the exercise of this part of the jurisdiction of the court, and that it is a jurisdiction which is to be exercised with extreme caution. It is absolutely necessary that the power should exist, because there are cases in which it is indispensable; but I believe that practically it does as much injustice as it promotes (571) justice; and it is, therefore, to be exercised with extreme caution. The court can have no ground upon which it can proceed, in granting an ''ex parte'' injunction, but a faithful statement of the case; and where the court has found a party misstating the case, either by misrepresentation or suppression, the court has always exercised its jurisdiction, for the purpose of repressing that practice; and I am desirous to abstain from putting, by anticipation, a limit to that power. The extent to which the court is to go in so doing is only to be determined by the case itself; but then it must appear, upon the affidavits, that there was such misrepresentation. Now the affidavit upon which the ''ex parte'' injunction was obtained certainly does not state all the facts; but the question is, whether there was any such suppression or misstatement as to lead the court to grant the injunction. I do not find on that affidavit that description of misrepresentation or suppression which, in my opinion, presented a case likely to procure a judgment on the application, but different from the case which really existed.}} Thus we can easily see, even if we had the power, that it would be a dangerous experiment to allow Federal district judges to issue injunctions on simple ''ex parte'' affidavits as is proposed in the present bill. And it might be possible under this proposal to assign New York or Vermont Federal judges to a crowded injunction calendar in Virginia to determine who is qualified to vote in that State. Section 134 of title 26, United States Code, simply requires that a district judge reside in the district or one of the districts for which he is appointed and does not preclude his assignment to another district. In fact, Chief Justice Warren under section 292 of the Judicial Code—title 28, United States Code—may assign California judges to South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 292. District judges:}} {{smaller block|(a) The chief judge of a circuit may designate and assign one or more district judges within the circuit to sit upon the court of appeals or a division thereof whenever the business of that court so requires. Such designations or assignments shall be in conformity with the rules or orders of the court of appeals of the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(b) The chief judge of a district may, in the public interest, designate and assign temporarily any district judge of the circuit to hold a district court in any district within the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(c) The Chief Justice of the United States may designate and assign temporarily a district judge of one circuit for service in another circuit, either in a district court or court of appeals, upon presentation of a certificate of necessity by the chief judge or circuit justice of the circuit wherein the need arises. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 901.)}} The Federal Enforcement Act of 1870 attempted to do just what this bill seeks to do, that is, take away from the States the control of their elections and place that control in the hands of federally appointed officials. If anyone has any doubts about the failure of the Enforcement Act or even its constitutionality he should read the various decisions of the United States Supreme Court declaring almost every section of the act unconstitutional. When Congress finally got around to repealing that act in 1893 here are some of the frauds cited in Congress as reasons for repeal. They included 19,000 fraudulent naturalization certificates being issued by a single judge in New York State. They included payment in fees from the United States Treasury to a single Federal supervisor of elections and commissioner of the Federal court the sum of $145,000. Interestingly enough, repeal was initiated by a New York Congressman. See {{sc|Congressional Record}}, Volume 25, pages 1959, 1808. Mr. President, on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, I made a motion in the Senate to have H. R. 6127 in its so-called compromise form referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that I believed it to be a dangerous procedure to allow bills to come over from the House of Representatives and be placed on the calendar of the Senate without being referred to the appropriate committee. However, my motion was voted down 66 to 18, so the bill is now before the Senate for consideration. Since very few Members of the Senate were present at that time to hear my objections to the present version of H. R. 6127, I shall present my arguments again. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution because that would be the result insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common-law cases. These guaranties were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historic document their complaints against denial of the right of trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. After declaring that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the signers of the Declaration pointed out that the King had a history of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.” Then they proceeded to the listing of a bill of particulars against the King. He was charged with “depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.” That is what the Declaration of Independence contained. The King was charged, among other things, with depriving the American people of the benefit of trial by jury. That is the very thing I am fighting for—the right of trial by jury, which is contained in the Constitution, and embodied in it in quite a number of places. The compromise bill which comes from the House attempts to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The bill does not provide for a trial by jury unless the penalty is more than 45 days’ imprisonment or more than a $300 fine. That is a compromise of the Constitution. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. When the original Constitution was written there was placed in it article III., section 2, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. Then the Bill of Rights was adopted, and that right was provided in three different places. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and onetime Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. “The Bill of Rights,” he declared, “denies the power of any government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.” Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic law if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes, in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. When our forefathers met in 1787 in Philadelphia they wrote in article III., section 2, of the Constitution that in all crimes except treason a man shall be entitled to a jury trial. In several places in the Bill of Rights they wrote it again, with special emphasis in the sixth amendment that a man is entitled to a jury trial. Yet the compromisers brought forth a compromise which {{SIC|attemps|attempts}} to compromise the Constitution of the United States. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. The compromise would have been unconstitutional if it had provided that if a judge wanted to punish for criminal contempt he could sentence the defendant to serve 1 day or fine him $1. He has no right to fine him $1 or give him 1 day’s punishment in prison without a jury trial, because the Constitution says that in a criminal case a man charged with crime is entitled to a jury trial. I cited last night a decision which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and this so-called compromise which has come to the Senate is an effort of the Senate and the House of Representatives to get together, but in the effort to get together and pass a political bill—and that is all it is—they have been willing to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says, “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. If the Constitution had had an exception in it and read, “This shall not apply to criminal contempt or crimes of criminal contempt,” then there would be some basis for the Congress to legislate. But it did not make such an exception. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “The trial of ''all'' crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. What right has a Federal judge to use his discretion and tell a man he can be tried by a jury? The Constitution says if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to be tried by a jury if he wants to be tried by a jury. In the Constitution there is no exception of criminal contempt or any exception that gives a judge the power to try a man so charged rather than a jury. We are dealing with the basic rights of the people of this Nation and we should be careful to protect those precious rights which have been handed down to us by our forefathers. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. We cannot make trial by jury a matter of degree. If the Constitution gives a man the right of trial by jury, he has that right and we cannot take it away from him. The Congress cannot take it away. Furthermore, this compromise pretends to let the judge try the case if he wants to do so, in his discretion. Then if he finds the defendant ought to be punished by a fine in excess of $300 or by imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the man is entitled to a trial by jury. Do you not know, Mr. President, that if a judge has already tried a man, and then the defendant asks for a jury trial, the judge’s decision is bound to affect the jury in the case strongly, even if it were constitutional for that to be done, which it is not? Under this proposal if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days in prison he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of punishment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. I realize that Congress may want to get away from Washington. We have had a long, hard session. I also realize that both national parties are playing to the minorities by means of the right-to-vote bill, when each State in the Nation has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and section 594 of the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure protects the right to vote. Yet, as a political gesture, both parties are making this play to try to claim credit. Watch my prediction that in the elections of 1958 both parties will try to claim that they got the civil-rights bill through the Congress. Why are we not more interested in preserving the Constitution? Are we going to violate the Constitution by passing a political civil-rights bill in order to give thunder and political fodder to politicians to enable them to garner votes? Which is more important, the Constitution of this country or the political parties vying for the votes of minorities? I wish to see the right to vote exercised by every man who is qualified to vote and who wants to vote. If he is entitled to vote, I want to see him vote. But the true purpose of this bill is not to insure the right to vote, because we have statutes in every State, and we have statutes on the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure now already that punish people interfering with anybody trying to vote. If the statutes we now have on the books are not being enforced, what good will it do to put another statute on the books? If the Justice Department is claiming that there are any individuals who have been denied their right to vote, why does it not prosecute them under the present law, which is completely adequate? And if no people have been denied the right to vote, then why is it claimed that this bill is necessary? The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents and in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. Perhaps the House and the Senate wanted to get together and they thought this was the only way they could do it, but I want to tell the American people when they did get together and brought forth this compromise they violated the Constitution of the United States. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill. Like father, like son; a chip off the old block. Both are bad. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of the fine—or even 1 cent—and if a day, or even an hour, were added to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial, and a jury would decide the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. The proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was passed by the Senate. The inclusion by the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, made the bill a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, the present unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope a majority of the Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the ''bloc'' voting of the pivotal states. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about. Those are the words of Stewart Alsop; and he is not a southerner, so far as I know. To explain his point, he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States, Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election. The following four paragraphs are quoted directly from Mr. Alsop’s column: {{smaller block|In 1954, Averell Harriman was elected Governor of New York by less than 15,000 votes over Senator {{sc|Irving Ives}}. According to Harris’ analysis, Harriman polled a whopping 79 percent of the Negro vote. Negro voters thus supplied Harriman with his margin of victory several times over. Two years later, the Democrats had dropped some 90,000 Negro votes to the Republicans—or about 6 times the number of votes {{sc|Ives}} needed to defeat Harriman.}} {{smaller block|Or take another close race—the victory of Senator {{sc|Joseph Clark}}, of Pennsylvania, over the Republican incumbent, Senator James Duff, in 1956. Again, {{sc|Clark}} just squeaked in, with a plurality of less than 18,000 votes. {{sc|Clark}}, despite the Supreme Court, carried the Negro vote by a huge 76 percent margin, which was worth about 150,000 votes to him. Suppose the Negro vote had dropped off as sharply in Pennsylvania as it did in Illinois, where it nosedived from 75 percent in 1952 to 58 percent in 1956. Then Duff would be in the Senate by a comfortable majority, and {{sc|Clark}} would be practicing law.}} {{smaller block|Other examples could be cited, like that of Senator {{sc|Paul Douglas}}, of Illinois, who owes about 60 percent of his 1954 plurality to the Negro vote. But the lesson is clear enough. If the Republicans can attract something approaching half the Negro vote in the Northern States, the Republican Party will then be the normal majority party in those States.}} {{smaller block|Read the role of big States in which the Negroes can be expected to poll 5 percent or more of the total vote—not only New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but such States as Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and California. It then becomes clear what is at stake in the civil-rights struggle—nothing less than the future balance of political power in the Nation.}} But, Mr. President, are we going to compromise the Constitution, whether we lose an election or not? Which is more important—to win an election or to preserve the Constitution? It is about time that both parties began to consider the welfare of the country and to determine whether the Constitution is of more importance, or whether winning an election is of more importance. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today; but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law, eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of the bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Under the provisions of the compromise, jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge, so long as the sentence he metes does not exceed the maximum limit set for denying trial by jury. The proponents of the bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim, the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When the bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted the great legal mind of 18th century England, Blackstone. Because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him again at this time. This is what Blackstone had to say: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} That is what Blackstone, the leading legal light the world has known, had to say. I wish to repeat one of his sentences: {{smaller block|And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} Mr. President, a trial by jury is one of the bedrocks of this democracy. It is one of the bedrocks of this Nation. It is one of the bedrocks of this Government. When we talk to people in the street and to laymen generally about taking away their right of trial by jury, they cannot understand it, because they know that the Constitution provides that a man shall have a trial by jury when he is charged with the commission of a crime. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen, chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth, and the surest guardians of public justice. For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan of the United States Supreme Court delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, that is a significant statement to me, coming from a member of the present Supreme Court. I will not predict what the Court might do when the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury as embodied in this so-called compromise is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the people of this Nation want Federal judges to have the power to punish persons for criminal contempt by sentences of either days, weeks, or months in jail, or by fines of dollars, they can amend the Constitution and provide for it. If the people of this country want Federal judges to have the discretion of determining whether a person shall have a jury trial or not, then they can amend the Constitution and so provide. There is no provision and no exception for either instance in the present Constitution. That is certainly a clue to what might be expected from the Court when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. I think what the Supreme Court did in the ''Reid'' against ''Covert'' case might be a clue to what it might do, or what might be expected of the Court, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all of the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State. A summary of these laws was submitted to me, and I request that this summary be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. The people of my State vote. I am in favor of qualified people voting. All the people of my State vote if they are qualified. Whence comes this hue and cry? Those raising it have not presented the matter to the Judiciary Committee, so the chairman of that committee may hold hearings. They have held hearings for weeks and months on the subject, and the proponents of the bill have failed to present evidence to show that people do not have the right to vote. It is inescapable, as I have said, that this is a political bill and not a bill to provide the right to vote. The people already have that privilege. If any such incident as a refusal to permit a citizen to vote had occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. The people of the States are interested in justice just as are the officials of the Federal Government, but I shall return to that subject in a few minutes and go into the matter of the Federal statutes a little more fully. We have Federal statutes to protect the right to vote, if the voters are not satisfied with the State statutes, and certainly the Federal statutes protect them. I say that the Negro citizens in South Carolina are safeguarded in their rights; and the payment of a poll tax is not required. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. As I have said, South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. Registration is necessary only once every 10 years. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that the poll tax be repealed as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature acted promptly and submitted the matter to the people, and the people voted in favor of repeal of the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature approved it, and we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina, if proof is desired, can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia, S. C., Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that “estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina constitution which protect a citizen’s right to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 9, suffrage: The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 10, elections free and open: All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 5, appeal; crimes against election laws: Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 8, registration provided; elections; board of registration; books of registration: The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the 1st of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 15, right of suffrage free: No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the record to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Code, title 23}}}}}} {{smaller block|23–73. Appeal from denial of registration.}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court.}} {{smaller block|23–74. Proceedings to court of common pleas.}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as Calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{smaller block|23–75. Further appeal to supreme court.}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make. If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} In other words, in our State, if anybody has an appeal and it goes before the trial judge and he denies it, the supreme court will go into session in order to hear such a case so as to be sure that nobody is deprived of the right to vote. {{smaller block|23–100.

Also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, proves that there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right-to-vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an unusual grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department is not needed because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed, and he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved, and there is no indication that conditions will change unless the Attorney General and the Civil Rights Commission create trouble, there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of civil-rights matters in the Department of Justice. Mr. President, permit me to digress in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the Bill of Rights. I have before me a book entitled “Our Bill of Rights: What It Means To Me—A National Symposium,” edited by James Waterman, Wisconsin: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|Things of the spirit never die.

After all, the only disaster that will overtake us is the disaster that comes from indecision and inaction.}} {{smaller block|I like to remind myself of the origin of the Bill of Rights. It came into being at a time of great distress and clearly represented the desires of the people who had paid a high price for their independence, and were determined to keep it. Since that time it has weathered an internal conflict, foreign wars, periods of economic depression. Even during these emergencies there has been no foreshortening of the scope of the Bill of Rights, nor has its fundamental character been altered. Invariably after these crises have passed each American has turned his face homeward and found, to his intense joy, his personal liberty inviolate. This augurs well for the future. Perhaps the destructive forces loose in the world will assume more awesome proportions than any yet seen; perhaps the dangers and hardships of the civilian population will be greater than ever before; but I cannot believe that these new developments will serve to swerve us from our course any more than the vicissitudes of the past.}} {{smaller block|Undoubtedly it will mean a vigilant citizenry constantly on guard. But we have that. Undoubtedly it will mean leadership of the highest quality, but we have that, too. In fact, I can think of no more impressive reiteration of belief in the Bill of Rights than that made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress last January:}} {{smaller block|“In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.}} {{smaller block|“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The third is freedom from want. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The fourth is freedom from fear. * * *}} {{smaller block|“That is no vision of a distant millennium.

Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them.

Roosevelt, in speaking of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees a jury trial to the people of the United States, but which the so-called compromise civil-rights bill would deprive the people of. I read further: {{smaller block|We accept our liberty, as we do our health, pretty much as a matter of course, hardly giving it a thought until we begin to lose it. Then we become conscious of how much it means.}} {{smaller block|Experience throughout the long period of human history teaches that liberty must be won in every generation and can be held only by eternal vigilance. As foes of freedom the aggressors reappear with different weapons, but always with the same aim—to destroy the souls of freemen.}} {{smaller block|That religion and democracy are closely linked together is a truism proved amply in the history of our country. The American colonies were settled by men and women seeking a free life, as well as a home for freedom. Religion was written prominently into their agreements, covenants, pacts, and constitutions, but the early colonists made no provision for the the free exercise of religion. Those who had fled before the demands of conformity later determined by law that others must conform or get out of the colony. It was said of Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, if he had found toleration in his dictionary, he would have cut the word out, just as he drew his sword and cut the red cross out of the English flag because it represented the ancient Catholic faith of England. This attitude, formulated into law and supported by stern preaching, led to the founding of Rhode Island by Roger Williams and his associates. They were the first ones to put into practice the principle of the independence of the individual conscience even beyond the grants of liberty by the State. Maryland was founded by a small company of Catholics seeking freedom of worship in 1634, only 14 years after the Protestant Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth.}} {{smaller block|Under Lord Baltimore’s liberal rule there developed a large degree of freedom in religion, as well as a remarkable advance in democratic procedure. The people of Maryland not only took part in making their laws but were given power to originate laws. No other colony at the time enjoyed quite as much freedom, and in 1649 the assembly passed the Toleration Act which confirmed by law these liberties. Following this action, Maryland became the refuge not only for the oppressed Catholics from England, but Protestants from some of the other American colonies, Puritans from Virginia, Quakers, and others who found congenial homes in this colony.}} It is true that the Toleration Act was not very broad in that it tolerated only those of the Christian religion, but it was a step forward on the road to liberty and marked a greater advance than anything even in England at the time. It remained for the colony at Providence, R. I., to advance the act of toleration by granting full religious freedom to Christians and Jews and even to those without any religious affiliation or belief. The act affirmed “that men of all religions should live unmolested so long as they behaved themselves.” The Bill of Rights provides for freedom of religion. Our Bill of Rights provides for many vital rights which we enjoy. The study of the Constitution should be an essential part not only of the education of the American youth, but of all Americans, and especially those who have become naturalized citizens of this great Nation. While all of us cannot be trained in the technicalities of the law, we should have some idea of our fundamental institutions. We need to know their relationship to our daily life, the reasons for their existence, and the benefits we derive from them, as well as the importance to ourselves of their perpetuation. The Constitution is not self-perpetuating by any means; if it is to survive it will be because it has the support of the people—not passive, but active public support. This means making adequate sacrifice to maintain that which is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. The Constitution has its roots in the great and heroic past of the English-speaking race. Today, under that Constitution which was adopted through the blood and sweat of the pioneers of our country, the safeguard of personal liberty is ever present. Under our great Bill of Rights our governmental power is divided into three parts. The first is the power granted to the Central Government; the second that reserved to the States; and the third, and by far the most important, although at times the fact may not be generally recognized, the power reserved to the people under the many inhibitions upon both State and Federal legislation. In the turmoil which now seems to have engulfed the entire world, the citizens of the United States should well remember particularly that it is the people, those who go to make up the great cross-section of this country, who must guard the ramparts from the ever-increasing dangers of nazism, fascism, and communism. Our Constitution is the final safeguard of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure, but should it fall into disrespect or disrepute the way of orderly, organized government as we have known it for the past 150 years will be at an end. When the Federal Constitution was, on September 28, 1787, submitted by Congress to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, there was very strong opposition to its adoption in all the States. The Democrats, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, feared that the provisions of the instrument would unduly abridge States rights and result in a Government too highly centralized for their views. It was necessary for nine States to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth State, New Hampshire, gave its approval. The States which had not ratified up to that time were Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Virginia and New York gave their assent in 1788. When President Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Hall in New York, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had ratified and, therefore, were not States of the United States. These two reluctant States did, however, come into line. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The Bill of Rights was a pacer in the democratic movement in America and as such is entitled to all the prestige of leadership. Yet it really took a century after its enactment for American women to procure the 19th amendment to the Federal Constitution which compelled reluctant States to grant them the basic right of the free—the right to vote. Non-Christian men and freethinkers of their sex more readily wrested from State legislatures the guaranty of their civil rights. But even the original Bill of Rights would have been a dead letter if dauntless men and women, risking death, had not taught the public to listen without rioting to opinions which it abhorred. That educational process enabled the letter of the law to live in practice, or application, for the American way of life. In celebrating the original Bill of Rights now, we should celebrate with it the courage and skill of the men and the women who made tolerance a fact as well as a principle of law. The open forum, so characteristic of American democracy, owes its inception and its continuation to persons of both sexes who insisted that law and practice were parts of the same thing. That rights carry duties has become a third aspect of democratic evaluations, nurtured on free debates. It is increasingly understood in America that liberty could become license; that rights if viewed as extreme personal privileges could reduce society to anarchy. There is today, in connection with rights, the wide prevalence of the philosophy that rights are granted to individuals in order that they may develop their talents for competent voluntary cooperation in the thought and action essential to the strength of society, to general welfare, and to the very endurance of civil liberties themselves. A history of civilization could be written around the derivation of the privileges that constitute our Bill of Rights. The emphasis would be not on rulers and governments but on the struggle mankind has waged for centuries to obtain recognition of the rights of individual men. These rights are guaranties necessary to any people who wish to live in the free atmosphere of liberty. They are the foundation of any government that exists by the free will of the governed and not by the military force of self-appointed rulers. The history of our own Bill of Rights is fired with the determination of the American people to preserve their liberties as individuals living in a free state. It is significant that these first 10 amendments in our Constitution were drawn from earlier declarations of rights which a number of the Original Thirteen States had formulated for themselves before they joined the Union. They not only served as models for our Federal Constitution but became basic patterns for new democracies all over the world. Today there is abroad in the world a monstrous force that would set the clock back and reestablish regimes that rank the state above the individual. Already in many lands fundamental rights have been destroyed; and the existence of our own is threatened. Such crises have occurred before in the history of man but never with such ruthless vehemence and on such a worldwide scale. Mr. President, there are many objections to H. R. 6127, but the strongest objection is the failure to give a jury trial. I wish now to present to the Senate some information on the jury trial and I shall go into the historical development of the jury system. This information is coming from the History of the Jury System, by Maximus A. Lesser, instructor of political science, New York Evening High School. Some very important points are brought out here about the jury system which are pertinent to this debate. {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Historical Development of the Jury System}}}}}} {{c|{{sm|(By Maximus A. Lesser)}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JURY}}}} {{smaller block|The subject we propose to investigate is the historical genesis and gradual development of an institution which, today is an inseparable element of English jurisprudence and an important factor in the administration of justice, wherever the English or common law, “* * * the State’s collected will, o’er thrones and globes elate, sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.”}} {{smaller block|This purpose is not free from difficulties, for, while the nature and functions of the tribunal, as today existent, are sufficiently well comprehended, still the origin of that institution and the successive steps by which it was evolved are less clearly understood and subject to considerable misconception, as is evinced by the many and conflicting theories advanced in explanation thereof. It is the object of this treatise to reconcile, as far as may be, these various views, to give to each well sustained suggestion its proper weight and effect during the formative period, and to trace its influence in the production of the result. The method of treatment is, in general, chronological; for the English jury is so closely interwoven with the historical and political development of the English nation, that every component which contributed to the formation and completion of the latter had a concomitant effect upon the former; accordingly, the history and features of each foreign factor will be described in connection with that period of our history at which it first made itself felt. For to the jury may be truly applied, what Maine says of law, that it is a matter of growth, the result of the needs of the community in which it originated; and an institution—as another writer well observes—which “does not owe its existence to any positive law; it is not the creature of an act of Parliament establishing the form and defining the functions of the new tribunal. It arose * * * silently and gradually out of the usages of a state of society which has forever passed away.” We will, in the first place, regard its general aspect and characteristics as beheld today, and then proceed to consider whether, and in what respects, it is resembled by institutions of early days. The body with which we have to deal—in the language of an able Scotch jurist—“is the institution by which disputed facts are to be decided for judicial purposes in the administration of civil or criminal justice, and which is in modern times familiar to us under the denomination of trial by jury. * * * The etymological derivation of the term is obviously from ''juro'', to swear, whence we find this institution called in forensic Latin ''jurata'', and the persons composing it ''jurati''. * * * When the object is inquiry only, this tribunal is sometimes called an inquest or inquisition, as in the instance of a grand jury or coroner’s inquest; but when facts are to be determined by it for judicial purposes, it is always styled a jury.”}} {{smaller block|This board of inquiry, then, is composed of “a body of men taken from the community at large, summoned to find the truth of disputed facts. Their office is to decide upon the effect of evidence and thus inform the court truly upon the question at issue, in order that the latter may be enabled to pronounce a right judgment. But they are not the court itself nor do they form part of it; and have nothing to do with the sentence which follows the delivery of their verdict.” While, concerning the third characteristic element of our jury, De Lolme wrote that they who have the power to discriminate between disputed facts and “to whom the law has thus exclusively delegated the prerogative of deciding that a punishment is to be inflicted—those men without whose declaration the executive and the judicial powers are both thus bound down to inaction, do not form among themselves a permanent body, who may have had time to study how their power can serve to promote their private views or interest; they are men selected at once from among the people, who perhaps never were before called to the exercise of such a function, nor foresee that they ever shall be called to it again.”}} {{smaller block|In other words, the jury is the sole judge of the weight of evidence adduced and the arbiter of compensation for contracts broken or injuries sustained, and is composed of men selected by lot and “sworn to declare the facts of a case as they are delivered from the evidence placed before them”—its province being to determine the truth of facts or the amount of damages in civil, and the guilt or innocence of the accused in criminal, cases.}} {{smaller block|This province is confined by the following limitations:}} {{smaller block|(1) It is restricted to the consideration of matters proved by evidence at the trial;}} {{smaller block|(2) It is subject to the instructions of the judge, concerning the rules of law applicable;}} {{smaller block|(3) It is influenced by the directions of the judge, as to weight, value, and materiality of evidence;}} {{smaller block|(4) It is affected by the selection of the jurors from the locality of the action, whence they discharge their duties with a certain amount of independent local knowledge, whilom “counted on, and deemed essential to a just consideration of the case.”}} {{smaller block|Two other qualifications may be added. After the rendition of a verdict in a civil case, it is still within the power of the trial judge to modify or even annul the same, in a proper case; for instance, “because the verdict is for excessive or insufficient damages, or otherwise contrary to the evidence or contrary to law.”}} {{smaller block|Again, in a criminal case, a verdict of conviction, even when accompanied by a recommendation of mercy, does not control the sentence to be meted out by the presiding magistrate, who may impose the highest or lowest or any intermediate penalty prescribed by law as proper for the offense committed.}} {{smaller block|How, then, did this institution, whose features as currently administered have just been described, originate? What are the sources from whence it arose, and the forces by which it was developed? Did it spring forth, like Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, ready for action and fully equipped with forensic vesture and legal armament, or was its development the result of the gradual accretion of successive strata of growth? As stated above, various and conflicting theories are advanced to answer these queries.}} {{smaller block|“Many writers of authority,” says Canon Stubbs, “have maintained that the entire jury system indigenous in England, some deriving it from Celtic tradition based on the principles of Roman law, and adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans from the people they had conquered, others have regarded it as a product of that legal genius of the Anglo-Saxons of which Alfred is the mythic impersonation, or as derived by that nation from the customs of primitive Germany or from their intercourse with the Danes. Nor even, when it is admitted that the system of recognition was introduced from Normandy, have legal writers agreed as to the source from which the Normans themselves derived it. One scholar maintains that it was brought by the Norsemen from Scandinavia; another, that it was derived from the processes of the Canon Law; another, that it was developed on Gallic soil from Roman principles; another, that it came from Asia through the Crusades.” An American authority insists that it “is undoubtedly a development of English institutions and civilization.” Again, it is suggested that it was borrowed by the Angles and Saxons from their Slavonic neighbors in northern Europe; it has been traced to the assises de Jerusalem of Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed to be of divine origin; and, finally, a French scholar despairingly exclaims: “Son origine se perd dans la niut de temps.”}} {{smaller block|According to Robertson, “the true answer is, that forms of trial resembling the jury system in various particulars are to be found in the primitive institutions of all [Aryan] nations. That which comes nearest in time and character to trial by jury is the system of recognition by sworn inquest, introduced into England by the Normans * * * the instrument which the lawyers in England ultimately shaped into trial by jury.” The name “Recognition,” Bracton tells us, is deduced from the fact that the participants “acknowledged” a disseisin or dispossession by their verdict, and the inquest itself was “directly derived from the Frank capitularies, into which it may have been adopted from the fiscal regulations of the Theodosian Code and thus own some distant relationship with the Roman jurisprudence.” This is the system which, Lord Campbell writes, “in the fifth Norman reign had nearly superseded the simple juridical institutions of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors;” while an eminent American jurist, after observing that investigation has shown among Norman legal usages traces more closely resembling our form of jury trial than anything afforded by the system of the Anglo-Saxons, concludes:}} {{smaller block|“We regard it, therefore, as certain that all these influences contributed to establish this mode of trial in England, and to shape it as we know it to exist there. Indeed, it was not until all of them had had an opportunity of completing their work, that we find what we should now call a jury.”}} {{smaller block|A due regard for the definiteness of legal phraseology calls for some comment on the meaning of “law and fact,” terms so frequently employed in the course of this work. Law, in its widest sense, is a rule of action; in its technical sense, it is a general rule of human action, taking cognizance only of external acts, enforced by a determinate human authority paramount within a state. Whether the rule so enforced be moral or pernicious, is impertinent to the question. “The existence of law is one thing, its merit or demerit another.” Again, “although human actions are the subject-matter about which law is conversant, they are not essential to its existence; for the rule is the same, whether its application is called forth or not. * * * The rule continues in abstraction and theory, until an act is done on which it can attach. * * * The maxim, ''ex facto oritur jus'' must be understood in this sense; and the duty of judicial tribunals, consequently, embraces the investigation of doubtful or disputed facts, as well as the application of the principles of jurisprudence to such as are ascertained.”}} {{smaller block|Fact is a term most difficult to define—so much so that Mr. Justice Stephen (in the third edition of his Digest of the Law of Evidence) abandoned the attempt previously made. Webster’s definition (ed. 1859) is: “Anything done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event.” Negatively, a learned American jurist suggests that “nothing is a question of fact which is not a question of the existence, reality, truth of something.” Anything which is the subject of testimony is “matter of fact,” while “matter of law” is the general law of the land of which courts take judicial cognizance. Evidence is the means or method by which a fact under judicial examination may be proved or disproved. “Whether there be any evidence, is a question for the judge. Whether sufficient evidence, is for the jury.”}} {{smaller block|In any event, it is clear that the formula of Coke, hereinabove quoted, “was never meant to be taken absolutely. * * * It relates to issues of fact, and not to the incidental questions that spring up before the parties are at issue. The jury has to do with only a limited class of questions of fact, namely, questions of ultimate fact.” “In general, issues of fact, and only issues of fact, are to be tried by jury; when they are so tried, the jury and not the court are to find the facts, and the court and not the jury is to give the rule of law; the jury are not to refer the evidence to the judge and ask his judgment upon that, but are to find the facts which the evidence tends to establish, and may only ask the court for judgment upon these.”}} Mr. President, I shall next take up the history of the jury system of the Anglo-Saxons: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Chapter VI.—The System of the Anglo-Saxons}}}}}} {{smaller block|As regards the manner of men who now directed the destinies of England—for under that name (derived from the Angles) the island is henceforth known—and who indelibly impressed their characteristics upon it, and concerning their status in the scale of civilization, a graphic description is afforded us by the same historian. They “were little removed from the original state of nature; the social confederacy among them was more martial than civil; they had chiefly in view the means of attack and defense against public enemies, not those of protection against their fellow citizens; their possessions were so slender and so equal that they were not exposed to great danger, and the natural bravery of the people made every man trust to himself and to his particular friends for his defense. * * * An insult upon any man was regarded by his relations and associates as a common injury; they were bound by honor, as well as by a sense of common interest, to revenge his death or any violence which he had suffered; they retaliated on the aggressor by like acts of violence; and if he were protected, as was natural and unusual, by his own clan, the quarrel was spread still wider and bred endless disorders in the nation.”}} {{smaller block|Such, then, was the state of civilization which the Saxons enjoyed, and such the social and political structure which superseded the administration of the Romans. For almost four centuries the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—true to the characteristics of their founders—present a history of uninterrupted warfare, bloodshed and internecine strife, though Christianity had meanwhile prevailed among them. Wessex, however, gradually acquired the hegemony, and in A. D. 827 its King Egbert succeeded in securing his acknowledgment as supreme head of the heptarchy, with which event the history of the English nation properly begins.}} {{smaller block|Concerning their civil and social condition, at this period, after a sojourn of 400 years on English soil, it appears that “though they had been so long settled in the island [they] seem not as yet to have been much improved beyond their German ancestors, either in arts, civility, knowledge, humanity, justice, or obedience to the laws. * * * Bounty to the church atoned for every violence against society.” It cannot be doubted that, under ordinary circumstances, nationalization would have paved the way to improvements in the administration of justice, which, under the primitive system and the constant wars of the Saxons, had sadly degenerated. For, since “their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious * * * a union also in government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility. * * * But these flattering views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, kept the Anglo-Saxons in perpetual inquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude.”}} {{smaller block|The first great landmark in the history of English law is the reign of King Alfred (871–901), who, after he had restored peace, and either settled the Danes in or expelled them from the country, turned his attention to the administration of justice, which had become a mere name. His political and juridical institutions are recorded by Hume, as follows: “That he might render the execution of justice strict and regular, he divided all England into counties; these counties he divided into hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. Every householder was answerable for the behavior of his family. * * * Ten neighboring householders were formed into one corporation, who, under the name of a tithing, decennary, or fribourg, were answerable for each other’s conduct, and over whom one person, called a tithingman, headbourg, or borsholder, was appointed to preside. Every man was punished as an outlaw who did not register himself in some tithing.}} {{smaller block|“By this institution, every man was obliged from his own interest to keep a watchful eye on the conduct of his neighbors; and was in a manner surety for the behavior of those who were placed under the division to which he belonged. Whence these decennaries received the name of frankpledges. The barsholder summoned together the whole decennary to assist him in deciding any lesser difference which occurred among the members. In appeals from the decennary, or in controversies arising between members of different decennaries, the case was brought before the hundred, which consisted of 10 decennaries or 100 families of freemen, and which was regularly assembled once in 4 weeks for the deciding of causes. (Leg. Edw. c. 2.)}} {{smaller block|“Their method of decision deserves to be noted, as being”—at least in our historian’s opinion—“the origin of juries. * * * Twelve freeholders were chosen, who, having sworn (together with the hundred or presiding magistrate of that division) to administer impartial justice, proceeded to the examination of that cause which was submitted to their jurisdiction. And besides these monthly meetings of the hundred, there was an annual meeting appointed * * * for the inquiry into crimes, the correction of abuses, and other matters of public concern. If a further appeal were desired, or in controversies between members of different hundreds, the case was brought before the freeholders of the county (or shire) over whom the bishop together with the alderman presided. A final appeal lay to the King himself.}} {{smaller block|“Formerly the alderman possessed both the civil and military authority; but Alfred * * * appointed also a sheriff in each county, who enjoyed a coordinate authority with the former in his judicial (as distinguished from the military) function. His office also empowered him to guard the rights of the crown in the county, and to levy the fines imposed.”}} {{smaller block|Such was the system established by Alfred, and adhered to by his successors as far as those turbulent times permitted. For its promotion and perpetuation, as well as for the guidance of the magistrates, on whom the duty to administer it was incumbent, the same king—according to our historical guide—“framed a body of laws which, though now lost, served long as the basis of English jurisprudence, and is generally deemed the origin of what is denominated the common law.” While his judgment concerning the paternity of the system is, that “the similarity of these institutions to the customs of the ancient Germans, and to the Saxon laws during the heptarchy, prevents us from regarding Alfred as the sole author of this plan of government, and leads us rather to think that he contented himself with reforming, extending, and executing the institutions which he found previously established.”}} {{smaller block|Thus far Hume, whose profound historical researches, combined with his early legal training, certainly entitle his opinion to much weight. But the existence, among the Saxons, of any institution resembling the jury has been hotly contested, and the dispute whether it was known to the Anglo-Saxons or introduced as a result of the Norman conquest, may be thus summarized: Coke (in his Institutes), Spelman (Glossarium Archaiologicum), Blackstone (Com. III., ch. 23), Nicholson (preface to Wilkin’s Anglo-Saxon Laws), and Turner (Hist. Anglo-Saxons, IV., book XI., ch. 9) ascribe it to Saxon paternity. On the other hand, Hickes (Dissert. Epist. p. 34), Reeves (Hist. Eng. Law, I., 22, 24), and Palgrave (Rise and Progress of Commonwealth, I, 243) claim with equal confidence that it was introduced by or at least derived from the Normans and was not of Anglo-Saxon origin.}} {{smaller block|So Judge Cooley (Am. Cycl. IX. 722) approvingly observes that “so many of the attendant circumstances indicate that it was a Norman institution, bestowed upon his English subjects by a Norman king, that Sir Francis Palgrave has not hesitated to consider our jury trial as derived directly from Norman law” and Mr. Macclachlan (Eng. Cycl. III., 24) remarks: “Without entering minutely into this controversy, it may be stated that the traces of the trial by jury, in the form in which it existed for several centuries after the conquest, are more distinctly discernible in the ancient customs of Normandy than in the few and scanty fragments of Anglo-Saxon law which have descended to our time.”}} {{smaller block|The conclusion reached by Mr. Forsyth affords perhaps the fairest statement of the case, and may be advantageously quoted in this place: “It may be confidently asserted that trial by jury was unknown to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors; and the idea of its existence in their legal system has arisen from a want of attention to the radical distinction between the members or judges composing a court, and a body of men set apart from that court, but summoned to attend in order to determine conclusively the facts of the case in dispute. This is the principle on which is founded the intervention of a jury; and no trace whatever can be found of such an institution in Anglo-Saxon times.}} {{smaller block|“If it has existed,” he continues, “it is utterly inconceivable that distinct mention of it should not frequently have occurred in the body of Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary chronicles which we possess, extending from the time of Ethelbert (568–616) to the Norman Conquest (1066). Those who have fancied that they discover indications of its existence during that period, have been misled by false analogies and inattention to the distinguishing features of the jury trial which have been previously pointed out. While, however, we assert that it was unknown in Saxon times, it is nevertheless true that we can recognize the traces of a system which paved the way for its introduction, and rendered its adaptation at a later period [the reign of Henry II.] neither unlikely nor abrupt. * * * Of the exact mode in which trials were conducted in these [ante-Norman] courts, we know little; but the Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporaneous annals make frequent mention of two classes of witnesses, who play a most important part in the judicial proceedings of the time.” These are compurgators and official witnesses, who, together with other features of their system, will be more fully considered hereafter.}} {{smaller block|With the demise of King Alfred, his system gradually lost ground. “During the reign of eight kings who succeeded Alfred,” wrote Gilmans, “the country suffered constant invasions from Denmark, which became so oppressive that in 991 the King, Ethelred II., agreed to pay the Danes 10,000 pounds, called danegelt, to buy immunity. This sum was raised by a tax on land, the first one recorded in English history.” Eleven years later the same King planned and partly executed a general massacre of foreigners in the island (Danemort) which led to a fierce attack from the Danes, to the expulsion of the King, and to the establishment of Sweyn as ruler of England. His son Canute married Ethelred’s widow, a sister of the Duke of Normandy, in order, as it were, to legitimize his title, to strengthen his alliances, and to make secure the succession of his line.}} {{smaller block|When Canute, the Dane, mounted the English throne (1014) it might be supposed that he would transplant to, and incorporate in the system of, England the Danish quasi-jury or Nævninger—an institution common, with modifications, to all the Scandinavian nations—which derived its appellation from the fact of being composed of a fixed number of men (usually 12) named by the inhabitants of each district; a majority of those so chosen was competent to render a decision (subject to the ratification of the bishop and 8 best men of the district) in civil suits; while in criminal cases the accuser was obliged to convince the Nævn by sworn evidence of the truth of his charge, before the accused would be subjected to a public trial—this institution thus combining the functions of grand and petit jury with the exercise of judicial powers.}} {{smaller block|Canute, however, who was a lineal descendant of Alfred, and desirous of emulating that monarch, adopted a policy of conciliation toward the English. He had his succession to the throne ratified by a general assembly (Witenagemot) and publicly consented to restore and observe the Saxon customs and laws. In 1030, he addressed a letter “To all the Nations of the English”—under which designation he also meant to include the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—in which he said: “Be it known to you all, that I have dedicated my life to God, to govern my kingdom with justice, and to observe the right in all things.” That is, he refrained from making any essential innovations or alterations in the systems (political or judicial) to which his several dominions were accustomed, and in consequence Danish rule had no tangible formative effect on English jurisprudence.}} {{smaller block|The last of the Saxon line who ruled in England—chosen by the people when Sweyn’s family became extinct—was Edward the Confessor (1042–66) whom Hume deems commendable for his attention to the administration of justice, and his compiling for that purpose a body of laws which he collected from the laws of Ethelbert, Ina, and Alfred. This compilation, though now lost (for the laws that pass under Edward’s name were composed afterward) was long the object of affection to the English nation.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER VII.—FORMS OF TRIAL AND TRIBUNALS AMONG THE SAXONS}}}} {{smaller block|Having examined the social and political status of the Saxons in England, as evidenced by their history and environment, we may expect to find, on considering the judicial institutions, their personal characteristics reflected therein. Here, as there, we distinguish the same primitive system of administration, the same rudimentary ideas of right, the same regard for the efficacy of clerical absolution, the same adherence to old and meaningless forms, and the same reverence for the vis major.}} {{smaller block|The judicial system of the Anglo-Saxons depended for its administration on, and consisted of, four distinct factors or elements: these were, sectatores or suitors of court, the secta or suit of witnesses, official witnesses, and compurgators. These have been generally confounded or at least not clearly distinguished, and the misconception of their proper functions has given rise to many ingenious theories. In general it may be said that of all these functionaries the first class only performed judicial duties; the second and the third were species of witnesses; the fourth officiated (at least originally) in criminal cases only, while none of them were jurors. A delineation of the functions of each will be given, and a distinction attempted.}} {{smaller block|The name of sectatores is applied by Forsyth to the limited number of freemen “who attended the hundred, county, and manorial courts, to try offenses and determine disputes there; * * * and the obligation to attend was in the nature of a tenure, for neglect of which they might be distrained to appear.” For, in accordance with the customs of those days, “to do suit at a county or other inferior court was * * * one of the common tenures by which land was held, and the suitors, called sectatores, or * * * at a later period pares, were therefore bound to give their attendance.” Anciently their number appears to have depended on chance or convenience; nor do they appear to have acted always under the sanction of an oath; for to Reeves “it seems that causes in the county and other courts were heard and determined by an indefinite number of persons called sectatores,” of whom “the frequent mention,” he continues, “is no proof of juries, properly so-called, being known to our Saxon ancestors.” It would seem that this form of judicial tribunal was the modified outcome of a feature of the elaborate county system established by Alfred, and a result of the alterations necessitated and the encroachments caused by the incessant warfare prevalent after the death of that monarch, which must have greatly affected his system of government. The whole matter, however, is involved in much obscurity, and will be resumed, to some extent, in the chapter treating of the ''judicium parium''.}} {{smaller block|Concerning the second of the four classes, Professor Robertson observes: “The trial ''per sectam'' * * * resembled in principle the system of compurgation. The plaintiff proved his case by vouching a certain number of witnesses (secta) who had seen the transaction in question, and the defendant rebutted the presumption thus created by vouching a larger number of witnesses on his own side.” It was thus an application to civil suits of the principle, which governed the system of compurgation in relation to criminal causes. At a later period in Saxon history, however, it seems that compurgation was also extended to (and thus superseded the use of the secta in) * * * civil proceedings; or, at least, that the term “compurgation” was employed to designate both the criminal and the civil (''i. e.'', the sectatory) method. Indeed, the very name of secta became an alternative term for sectatores—the judges above described—which led to the confounding of the one with the other, and bred endless confusion and mistake.}} {{smaller block|At a more advanced period of the Anglo-Saxon dominion, when the defects of their mode of evidence and system of trial became perceptible even to their untutored minds, an attempt was made to partially remedy these defects by the official appointment in each district of sworn witnesses, whose duty it was to attest therein all sales, endowment of a woman ''ad ostium ecclesiae'', and the execution of charters. They were not subject to cross-examination, and their oath was decisive in case of dispute. Later, persons peculiarly qualified by circumstances (though not preappointed), were similarly sworn to prove age, ownership of chattels, and the death of one in whose estate dower was claimed. Hence in the Year Books (16 Edw. II., 507, A. D. 1323) we read complaint that one “may name ses cosyns et ses auns, who by his procurement will decide against us.”}} {{smaller block|The most important of the four elements, and that destined to play the largest part in the development of trial by jury, was compurgation. Under the Saxon system, in criminal cases the charge of the prosecutor or accuser sufficed to put the accused on his defense.}} {{smaller block|This defense was by means of the process of compurgation, which was in vogue among the various Teutonic nations (12 being the usual number) and rested on the maxim: “Nobilis homo ingenuus—cum duodecim ingenuis se purget.” Compurgators may be defined as persons, who supported by their oaths the credibility of the party accused, pledging their belief in the latter’s denial of the charge brought against him.}} {{smaller block|These were in no sense witnesses, for they might be wholly ignorant of the real facts in dispute; nor were they a jury, for no evidence was submitted to their consideration. They were merely friends of the party who summoned them; they knew his character, and by their united oaths they at once attested that character and their confidence in his truthfulness and the justice of his cause.}} {{smaller block|This mode of trial was brought into England by the Saxons, and Judge Cooley thus describes it: “Then the party accused—or, in later times, the party plaintiff or defendant—appeared with his friends, and they swore, he laying his hand on theirs and swearing with them, to the innocence of the accused, or to the claim or defense of the party. Little is certainly known either of the origin or of the extent, in point of time or of country, over which the trial by compurgators prevailed; but it must have had great influence over the subsequent forms of procedure. It fixed the number of the traverse (''i. e.'', the petit or trial) jury at 12, that being the common number of compurgators * * * and this was a great improvement on the varying and sometimes very large number in Greece and Rome.”}} {{smaller block|Where the compurgators coincided in a favorable declaration, there was a complete acquittal. But if the accused was unable to present a sufficient number of these purgers; or, “if the party had been before accused of larceny or perjury, or had otherwise been rendered infamous and was thought not worthy of credit—he was driven to make out his innocence by an appeal to heaven, in the trial by ordeal,” which was practiced either by the boiling water or the red-hot iron; the former being supplied to the common people, while the latter was reserved for the nobility. The nature of this institution is so curious and interesting, and its peculiarities throw so much light on the character of that age, as to warrant a fuller consideration of this primitive predecessor and sometime competitor of our criminal jury.}} {{smaller block|If the accused was sentenced to undergo the ordeal by hot water, “he was to put his head into it or his whole arm, according to the degree of the offense: if it was by cold water, his thumbs were tied to his toes, and in this posture he was thrown into it. If he escaped unhurt by the boiling water (which might easily be contrived by the art of the priests), or if he sunk in the cold water, which would certainly happen, he was declared innocent. If he was hurt by the boiling water or swum in the cold, he was considered as guilty.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator tell me the name of the case he is reading? Mr. THURMOND. It is the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. This so-called amendment that came from the House does not provide for a jury trial unless the judge in his discretion sees fit to give one; or unless he imposes punishment of more than 45 days’ imprisonment or a fine of more than $300. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator quoting at this point from a particular case, and, if so, will the Senator give us the name of the case? Mr. THURMOND. I am not quoting from a case at this particular time. I am going back into the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And to show how through the life of this Nation the jury trial has developed. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And how our forefathers in writing the Constitution put into it by article III., section 2, under which a man charged with a crime is entitled to a trial by jury. To remove any further doubt, when the Bill of Rights was written the same provision was made in several places. The sixth amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees a man charged with a crime the right to a jury trial. During the night, probably about 4 or 5 o’clock this morning, I did cite a case holding that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man who is being tried for criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know whether it has ever been held that criminal contempt is not a crime under the law of the Nation? Mr. THURMOND. I do not know of any decision in the courts where criminal contempt has not been considered a crime, and I have had all the authorities and ran them down. Criminal contempt is a crime. We have a decision on that point. When a man is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a trial by jury. However, under this proposal, the so-called compromise which came from the House, he will not get a jury trial unless the judge, out of the goodness of his heart, says “I think you are entitled to a jury trial, and I am going to give you one.” Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Or unless the judge tries him first and finds him guilty and finds that he should be punished by more than 45 days’ imprisonment or $300 fine, in which event he can give him a new trial. The judge tries him once, and then he will be tried again. I think there again the so-called compromise is unconstitutional because you cannot put a man in jeopardy two times. If he is tried once, he has been in jeopardy and he cannot be put in jeopardy again. The whole thing is a concoction to get a compromise on something for civil rights. It is purely an endeavor to get some kind of compromise; but it violates the Constitution, and I hope the Senate and the Congress will not pass it. Even people who believe in civil rights and have fought for civil rights are of that opinion. The distinguished Senator from Minnesota [Mr. {{sc|Humphrey}}] has made many speeches on civil rights. I remember one he made in 1948 at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, which I did not like at all because I am a States righter and not a so-called civil righter. I believe in real civil rights, but not the kind of civil rights which are being alleged here. I do not know how Senators who really believe in civil rights and who know the Constitution can vote for a bill which flatfootedly violates several provisions of the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know of any greater civil right any person possesses in any nation than the right to a trial by a jury of his peers and his neighbors when he is accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot imagine any civil right I would rather possess were I charged with a crime. I do not know of any civil right that is more vital to the people of the United States than the right of trial by jury. I do not know of any civil right that one could envision that could be more important. The right of trial by jury is most important because a man may be tried for his life. If he is not tried for his life, he can be put in prison. He can have his liberty taken away from him. It is only after trial by jury that a man in this Nation can have his liberty taken away from him. I do not want a judge to try me if I ever have to be tried. I want 12 of my peers, 12 of my fellow countrymen, as the Constitution provides. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Is not the right to trial by jury, in which a person accused of a crime to challenge any prejudiced person who might be on the jury venire one of the possible differences between the free system of government that exists in this Nation and other free nations as compared to the system of government that exists in Communist nations? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Senator has the vision to see and realize the importance of what jury trial means to the people of this Nation. I quoted during the night Associate Justice Brennan of the Supreme Court. I do not think a man could have made a stronger address than he made on the jury-trial question. Justice Brennan made a powerful argument for a jury trial even in automobile-accident cases. Even where property is involved—not liberty, not life, but property—he believed there should be protection to the citizen through jury trial. Under the so-called compromise civil-rights bill a judge can put a man in jail for 45 days, and some judges will do so if they have the opportunity. They will make it exactly 45 days if they want to punish a man. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Under the facts stated in regard to the situation in Washington Parish, La., it was contended that more than 1,000 colored people were denied voting rights. I am not sure if that was correct or not. Perhaps those people should or should not be on the rolls. But assuming the charge was correct, it would be possible for a judge in that case to put a person in jail for {{SIC|4,500|45,000}} days without a jury trial, alleging that there were 1,000 different offenses. Mr. THURMOND. I see no reason why he could not, if he tries the defendant on each separate offense, which I think he would have to do to sentence him for more than 45 days. If he tries the accused for one act of depriving a person of his right to vote, there would be only one act, and 45 days in my opinion would be the limit. But if a judge saw fit to try a man and sentence him to prison for 45 days, he could try him again on another charge with respect to a man who claims his rights were violated in connection with voting and the defendant could be given another 45 days. I do not think there is any limit to that. I think he could keep filing them. Mr. LONG: Is it not conceivable following such a procedure a judge could put a man in jail for his natural lifetime without a jury trial? Suppose he alleges that the defendant prevented 2,000 people from registering. That would be 90,000 days he could put the man in jail without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. While I think theoretically that is possible, I do not think actually it would be practicable. But it is theoretically possible to do that. I wish to read the distinguished Senator what Associate Justice Brennan said: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it.}} What is the Congress doing here if they let a judge try a man for criminal contempt, which is a crime? I quote Associate Justice Brennan further: {{smaller block|One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence—}} In my State they cannot comment on the evidence and I do not believe they can in the State of the Senator from Louisiana, can they? In a few cases I believe they can. Mr. LONG. No; not in a criminal case. Mr. THURMOND. I do not believe they can even instruct the jury except as the parties request instruction. In some States the judge cannot charge the jury at all except where the parties request him to instruct, so jealously is the right of trial by jury regarded, leaving to the 12 fellow countrymen, 12 peers of the defendant, the authority to decide the case. I wish to quote further from Associate Justice Brennan: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies, and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question to my distinguished colleague from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. I regret that because of my ill health, of which the Senator is aware, I was unable to be here. Mr. THURMOND. I am sorry, too. I thought about the distinguished Senator a great deal and inquired about him. Mr. LANGER. I am sure during the night sometime the distinguished Senator from South Carolina discussed how the jury system came into being; is that correct? The divine right of kings principle was set aside and the jury system installed in its place. Mr. THURMOND. That is right. I am going now into the history of the jury system. That is the very thing I am discussing now. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that in the State of South Carolina—and, I might say, it is true in some of the other States—the higher courts have set aside verdicts of guilty because of the presence of prejudiced jurors or jurors who did not tell the truth on their examination, when they were asked if they knew anything about the facts. We have always been extremely jealous under the Constitution to see that every defendant receives a fair and honest trial. I know that there have been such cases in the State of South Carolina as the type to which I have referred. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. I was a trial judge for 8 years, and came into close contact with jurors. I know how jurors feel. I know how the people feel. The citizens of this country believe in the jury system. It is a part of their nature to believe in the jury system. Those who have talked with me do not like the fact that the bill provides for compromising the Constitution in order to get a compromise civil-rights bill. We should not compromise the Constitution. That is exactly what this so-called compromise bill does, on the jury-trial question. Mr. LANGER. I am sure that when the distinguished Senator was a judge, if any efforts were made to influence a jury, either by telephone or letter, if the judge became aware of it, he promptly declared a mistrial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is correct. Any judge would set aside a verdict if a juror were influenced. Judges are human. Some people look upon a Federal judge as sacrosanct, so to speak—clothed with a robe, high, mighty, and arrogant. They are human, and they are subject to the errors of human nature, just as any other citizen is. They should not be entrusted with this great power, involving the liberty of our people, in violation of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that once in a while there is a dishonest judge. Is not that true? Mr. THURMOND. I presume it is. However, I have never heard of any in South Carolina. Mr. LANGER. We had a very dishonest Federal judge in the State of North Dakota at one time. I had personal experience with him. Time and again during my service in the Senate I have charged that judge with being dishonest. He is still alive. I did not rely upon Congressional immunity. I have made that statement often. I have never been sued for it, and I know very well that I never will be. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the distinguished Senator would not want such a judge to try him for criminal contempt, which is a crime. I am certain that the distinguished Senator from North Dakota would want a jury to try him. Is not that correct? Mr. LANGER. That is certainly correct. I believe that in the State of South Carolina, or any other State, the people will insist not only on good, honest judges, but also on seeing to it that the jury system is kept unimpaired. Mr. THURMOND. Some of the proponents of the bill think they are going to punish the South. However, the bill applies to every American. The bill will fly back in the faces of some of its proponents and their friends, and they will be surprised. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to discuss this question with the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. I was discussing the history of the jury system. I continue to read from “History of the Jury System,” in the chapter entitled “Trials and Tribunals Among the Saxons.” {{smaller block|It will be observed that it was the priests who had charge of administering these tests of innocence—termed ''judicia dei''—and they doubtless reaped a rich harvest from the monopoly of this privilege, commensurate with the wealth and the guilt of the accused.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator further yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In view of the fact that I mentioned a dishonest judge, I should like to give an illustration of how a dishonest judge operates. In the first place, when it is desired to obtain a jury which is dishonest, a special assistant United States marshal will be appointed. The marshal will walk into a store, for example, and say, “Mr. Jones, I would like to have you take 100 subscriptions to a certain newspaper.” The man behind the counter might say, “Why should I take a hundred subscriptions?” The marshal may say, “We are fighting the Governor of the State.” If the man takes 100 subscriptions, and pays $100, or $1 apiece for a year, his name goes into the jury box; and if he does not subscribe, his name does not go into the jury box. In the case to which I have reference, the slips which were put into the box were different. The names of those who were prejudiced against a defendant would be written on wide slips. The names of those who were not so prejudiced were written upon narrow slips. A clerk was conniving with the judge. I may say that later the clerk went to the penitentiary. He would feel around until he felt a broad slip, and withdraw that slip. A Federal judge has a vast amount of power. A judge may say, “I am not going to allow any of the defense lawyers to examine any prospective jurors. Let them write out their questions and submit them to me, and I will ask the prospective jurors whether or not they are prejudiced, or what answers they have to the questions.” Two or three days might be consumed in the effort to get a fair jury; but because of the fact that the Federal judge will not allow the lawyers for the defendant to ask any questions, the judge will finally get a jury which has not been thoroughly examined from the viewpoint of the defendant. That is not all. A dishonest judge, by the tone of his voice, can let the jury know what he himself thinks of the case. For example, the defendant may be giving testimony, and if the United States attorney interrupts him the Federal judge may say, “Well, let the defendant tell his story,” with a sneer on his face, for the benefit of the jury. When it comes to his instructions, he may, in a very low tone of voice, give the instructions he is required to give which are favorable to the defendant. Then he raises his voice and makes gestures which let the jury know he does not believe the defendant to be innocent. He tries to impress the jury by his loud tone of voice and the things he says in his instructions, which tend to prejudice the jury. I have seen it happen. I myself was a trial lawyer. I served at one time as attorney general of my State, and later as governor of the State. As I have previously stated, a Federal judge has a vast amount of power. He can name special bailiffs is he decides that the number of bailiffs in the court is not sufficient. He can appoint half a dozen or a dozen more, and have them carry revolvers to impress the rank and file of the jurors with the great importance of the case. A Federal judge can claim that his life is in danger, and he can have Federal troops escort him back and forth between the courthouse and the hotel. A Federal judge can have airplanes flying over the courthouse, to repel the mob, for the purpose of impressing the jury with the gravity of the case which is pending before it. I have gone all through that experience. When I came to the Senate one of the charges brought against me was with respect to the four Federal cases in which I, as governor of the State, was tried. A Federal judge who is dishonest, with all the power he has, need not be afraid of any governor, because he holds the position for life. During the history of the United States there have been only five impeachments of Federal judges. I well remember a case which was brought before I became a Member of the Senate. Senator Josiah Bailey, a very distinguished Senator, said to me in connection with that case, “I voted ‘not guilty’ on all counts except the last one. I voted ‘guilty’ on the last one.” It was the fact that he voted “guilty” on that count which resulted in the impeachment of the judge. We must take into consideration the money that is required, the lawyers who are required, and so forth. The Senate does not like to take up an impeachment case. Yet, that is the only remedy a poor man has in the matter of impeaching a dishonest Federal judge. I am frankly delighted that the distinguished Senator from South Caroline has been going into the history of how the jury trial originated. There was a great battle to obtain the right of trialby jury on behalf of the people of England before they ever achieved their goal. One of the very first of the English juries was sent out by the judge time and time again and asked to bring in a verdict of guilty, and the jury refused to do so. They were out for many hours defying the judge. Finally, the judge said he would put them in jail. One of the greatest calamities that could possibly occur in this country or in any other country would be to have the “divine right of kings” come back and the jury system made inoperative. I wish to thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate. Mr. THURMOND. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota is to be commended for his statement. Mr. President, it is not a question of civil rights. They have hooked to it an unconstitutional provision. It is now a question of whether we shall vote for a bill that violates the Constitution and takes away from citizens the right to a trial by jury. I believe it was at Runnymeade, in 1215, that there were wrenched from King John certain rights for the benefit of the people which were written into a paper known as the Magna Carta. One of the rights wrenched from King John and which the people had cherished so long and which had been denied them was the right of trial by jury. Mr. President, our Declaration of Independence starts out by citing grievances, among which was the fact that in many instances the citizens of the Colonies had been tried without a jury. That was one of the grievances brought up and included in the Declaration of Independence. When our Constitution was written our forefathers had heard their fathers speak of how in generations back the people had suffered persecution. That was why many of them came to these shores, to enjoy liberty and freedom. After studying the governments of the world at that time, our forefathers finally decided on the tripartite system of government, with its three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, which could check on each other. They did not stop with that, Mr. President. The States organized their governments on the same basis, so that what we have is what is known as a compound Republic. We have a division of power between the States and the Federal Government. We have a division of power between the different branches on the national level and on the State level. Our forefathers, when they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787, were determined that one thing would be contained in it would be the right of trial by jury. It is found in article III., section 2, and it provides that the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. It does not make any other exceptions for civil rights or anything else. It provides that all crimes except that of impeachment shall be tried by jury and that the trial shall be held in the State in which the crime was committed. Even after the Constitution was written, three distinguished men attending the Convention would not sign it. They were George Mason, of Virginia, who was the author of the Bill of Rights; John Randolph, of Virginia, another very prominent citizen; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. They refused to sign the Constitution even after it was written. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, would the Senator from South Carolina be willing to yield to me for the purpose of submitting a unanimous-consent request to the Senate to the effect that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears the telegram of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin may be read and the oath be administered by unanimous consent of the Senate, without my friend from South Carolina losing the floor thereby, and that his remarks thereafter shall not count as a second speech against him, and that this interruption be placed in another portion of the {{sc|Record}}? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield under those conditions. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears in the Chamber the clerk may read the telegram from the Governor of Wisconsin and that the Senate give its consent to the oath being administered to the Senator-elect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous-consent request of the Senator from Texas? The Chair thinks it also includes the provision that the Senator from South Carolina [Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}] shall not lose the floor. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. All the conditions enumerated, Mr. President. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, reserving the right to object—and, of course, I shall not object—I should like to be associated with the unanimous-consent request made by the distinguished majority leader. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I make the request on behalf of the minority leader and myself. I wish to make it abundantly clear that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears consent will have already been given to his being sworn in after the telegrams have been read; and that the Senator from South Carolina will still retain the floor and will be protected in his right to the floor and in the fact that he has made only one speech on this subject. Also, Mr. President, I request that the interruption be placed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and the request is agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. I thank the Senator from South Carolina for yielding. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was engaged in colloquy with the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Langer}}] ,at the time when we were interrupted. I should like to continue the colloquy with him. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from North Dakota for his questions and for bringing out the points he did. What I started to say is that when the Constitution Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 for the purpose of writing a constitution, the deputies, as they were called then, were confronted with the very difficult proposition of how the States would have representation. The large States wanted representation in proportion to population; the small States wanted representation according to States, regardless of size. Of course, they reached a compromise, and we have the two bodies of Congress. The Senate has an equal number of Senators from each State, regardless of the size of the State, and the House of Representatives is based on population. That is only one of the many intricate problems which had to be fought and settled by the Convention. It was a very difficult task to bring about the adoption of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question at this point? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. The Senator from North Dakota, as the distinguished Senator from South Carolina knows, is very much interested in the small States. The two Senators from North Dakota are very much interested in the small States. They have been battling and fighting for the rights of the small States. Today there are six States which never have had any Cabinet members. For example, take the State of Florida. It has now for 107 years been a member of this Union. Yet the State of Florida has never had a member of the Cabinet, although the city of New York under Franklin Roosevelt at one time had six from the State of New York. Take the State of Nevada. Nevada had an Ambassador. The State of South Dakota has never had one. Montana never has had one. Idaho never has had one. The Senator from North Dakota finally succeeded in getting one for North Dakota, the first one after 62 years of statehood. It seems to me that the Senators from these States and from the States of smaller population a long time ago ought to have gotten together and said to the State Department, “We demand that citizens of the States of lesser population also have some appointments as ambassadors, or occasionally have a man appointed to the Cabinet of the President of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree with the Senator, and what I said was by way of illustration. Mr. LANGER. Yes. Mr. THURMOND. The point I started to make was this: There were so many problems confronting the deputies in Philadelphia that they had a very hard time drafting a constitution, and even after it was drafted, it would not have been ratified if they had not promised the leading political leaders of the day that there would be a Bill of Rights. That is the only way they were able to have the Constitution adopted; and even then, George Mason, of Virginia; John Hancock, of Massachusetts; Elbridge Gary, of Massachusetts, refused to sign it. They did not want to take for granted any question about the rights to which the people were entitled, and one of the precious rights in which they were most interested was the right of trial by jury. The right of trial by jury was not only written in article III., section 2 of the Constitution, but in several places in the Bill of Rights. The right of trial by jury has been handed down to us as part of our Government as a great heritage, and we do not want to run the risk of losing that precious right. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true at the present time in one foreign country after another, to whom we have been sending foreign aid and with whom we fought in World War II., later in the Korean war—one of the very things we are advocating in these countries are reforms which will provide trial by jury. Is that not correct? Mr. THURMOND. I understand we have been advocating that other countries, in which we have been trying to help the people to set up democratic governments, accord the right of trial by jury. It is going to look a little inconsistent to those people to whom we have held out trial by jury as the ideal, when we pass a bill which proposes to take away trial by jury. Some persons do not feel this is important; some of them say, “Well it is a compromise. The House held to a certain idea and the Senate another; and it is a matter of getting together as best they could.” But this is a vital question. There is nothing more important, no right more important than that of trial by jury. Mr. LANGER. I assume the Senator means a fair trial, an honest trial. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. The experience the Senator has had as judge ably demonstrated that, did it not? Mr. THURMOND. My experience has been that a jury will come nearer rendering a fair verdict than a judge will, because there are 12 men on the jury—and Mr. Justice Brennan concurs in this—who hear the evidence and reach a conclusion. It is a most important matter; yet here in this so-called civil rights bill— Madam President, may we have order, please? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. The effect of the so-called civil-rights bill is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution says, in article III., section 2, that “the trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment; shall be by jury,” and then in the sixth amendment to the Constitution the statement is made again. It says, “In all”—it does not say in some—it does not say in all but civil rights; it makes no exception. It says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses.}} And so forth. instead of that, this civil-rights bill now includes an amendment—which has been added by the House of Representatives—which gives the judge the power to make the decision, without a trial by jury, unless the fine exceeds a certain amount of money or unless the period of incarceration exceeds a certain number of days. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair) Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true that one of the arguments used when the right of women’s suffrage was asked for, was that women should have the right to sit on juries? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that women be allowed to sit on the juries. I think it is very wholesome to have that allowed. Such a law has not yet been passed in South Carolina, but I think it will be; in my opinion, that time will come. Mr. LANGER. We who live in North Dakota have had such a law for many years, and it works very satisfactorily. Mr. THURMOND. I so understand. In some States, women are allowed to serve on juries, if they wish, but they are not forced to do so. In other States, women must serve on juries, if called. In other States, women do not have to serve at all on juries. Madam President, the bill of rights—and the right of trial by jury is the heart of the bill of rights—is the most precious document of the American people. Madam President, let me say to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota that when the Declaration of Independence was written, it included a very definite reference to trial by jury. I wish to read part of the Declaration of Independence, in order to remind the distinguished Senator from North Dakota of that fact. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, I shall be very glad to have the Senator from South Carolina do so. Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I read now from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.}} {{smaller block|We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.}} {{smaller block|He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.}} {{smaller block|He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.}} {{smaller block|He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.}} {{smaller block|He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.}} {{smaller block|He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.}} A little later in the Declaration of Independence, we find the following— Mr. LANGER. Madam President, it is very interesting to hear the Declaration of Independence read. Mr. THURMOND. It is, indeed. I read further from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.}} {{smaller block|He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.}} {{smaller block|He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.}} {{smaller block|He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.}} {{smaller block|He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.}} {{smaller block|He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.}} {{smaller block|He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.}} {{smaller block|He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:}} {{smaller block|For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:}} {{smaller block|For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:}} {{smaller block|For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:}} {{smaller block|For imposing taxes on us without our consent:}} {{smaller block|For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.}} That was one of the cardinal points which was set forth in the Declaration of Independence, namely, that the King of England had deprived the colonists “in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}, in accordance with the previous unanimous-consent agreement, yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas, for the purpose of having the Senator-elect from Wisconsin take the oath of office. By agreement, the proceedings incident thereto appear in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) The VICE PRESIDENT. Pursuant to the order, the Chair recognizes the Senator from South Carolina. The Senate will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, a good many Senators were not here when I presented my views earlier during this debate, and I shall take a few minutes now to express a few points which I should like to have them hear. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution, because that would be the result, insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common law cases. As I have stated earlier today, I cited a decision during this debate to show that criminal contempt is a crime. Since criminal contempt is a crime, a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no way, under the Constitution, by which a man charged with a crime can be denied a trial by jury. Since the decision I have cited shows that criminal contempt is a crime, it simply follows that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. These guaranties to which I referred, in article III., section 2, of the Constitution, and in the fifth and seventh amendments, were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historical document their complaints against the denial of the right to trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. I am going to read the section of the Declaration of Independence in which our forefathers with courage and stamina severed their relations with the mother country, Great Britain, and established their own government. A list of grievances against the King was set forth in that document and among those grievances there was one pertaining to trial by jury. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|Depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.}} In other words, those who signed the Declaration of Independence gave as one of the reasons for declaring their independence and for cutting loose from the King the fact that they had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. Therefore we can see with that incentive in mind in writing the Declaration of Independence why there was such a strong urge in writing the Constitution to include in it a provision for trial by jury, and then later in writing the Bill of Rights, to provide a trial by jury without the exceptions which are contained in this so-called compromise that came from the House of Representatives. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and one-time Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. The Bill of Rights, he declared— {{smaller block|denies the power of any Government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.}} Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional Government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic laws, if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes; in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.}} The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “the trial of all crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days’ imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. In this day and time I wonder, sometimes, if there is not too much compromise. It does my heart good to see a man with strong convictions, a man who believes in something, a man who stands for something and who is not willing to compromise on everything when there is a vital principle at stake. Mr. President, I realize that legislation to a large extent is compromise. That is perfectly legitimate when it does not involve the Constitution. But when it involves the Constitution, there should be no compromise. There should have been no compromise on this bill which comes back to the Senate from the House. There can be no compromise with reference to the manner in which the bill was amended. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of Government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was approved by the Senate. The enactment in the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, was a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope that a majority of this Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the bloc voting of the pivotal States. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that— {{smaller block|Behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about.}} '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', 12 members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies visit the Senate, and Mr. Thurmond’s is interrupted, so as to introduce the deputies appropriately. At the time in the ''Record'', several other matters are read into the ''Record'', namely, a “Message from the House,” the “House Bills and Joint Resolutions Referred,” and the “House Concurrent Resolution Referred.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, to explain his point Mr. Alsop cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the “Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States,” Mr. Alsop stated that it is “almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election.” In other words, Mr. Alsop says that the whole civil-rights fight is purely political, and the effect of it is that both parties are vying to get the Negro vote in the doubtful States. To explain his point he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in those States. Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any Presidential candidate could lose those three States and win the election. I shall not take any more further time to present the analysis he made, but he went into considerable detail. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today, but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of this bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether or not to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge so long as he does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed for denying trial by jury. The proponents of this bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected by it. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When this bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted that great legal mind of the 18th century of England, Blackstone, because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence. I have also quoted heretofore and cited a case which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That is a decision I have heretofore reviewed. I might refer to it again for the benefit of any who missed it, because that is an important point. I do not believe that some of the lawyers in the Congress have realized that criminal contempt is a crime. ''Bessett'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' (194 U. S. 324) says a contempt proceeding is criminal in its nature. ''Ex parte'' Grossman (267 U. S. 87) says a criminal contempt committed by disobedience of an injunction issued by the district court to abate a nuisance in pursuance of the prohibition law is an offense against the United States, and within the pardoning powers of the President under article II. of the Constitution. The ''Conkey'' case I just referred to, volume 194 United States Reports, page 324, defines civil and criminal contempt, pointing out that the latter, criminal contempt, is criminal and punitive in its nature, and the Government, the courts, and the people are interested in their prosecution. If criminal contempt is a crime, as the United States Supreme Court decision holds it is, then under the Constitution of the United States a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury. There is no ifs, ands, and buts about it. There can be no exceptions. Article III., section 2 of the Constitution provides: {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights, it is provided: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} Mr. President, when this bill was previously debated in the Senate, I cited Blackstone as an authority, and I may cite him again today, but I want to refer to a portion of this bill, to show how it violates the Constitution on the jury trial question. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to my distinguished friend for a question. Mr. LANGER. Could the Senator from South Carolina tell us how it happened that the Federal judges encroached upon the rights of defendants? How did they come to hold that contempt of court was not a crime? Mr. THURMOND. There is a long story about contempt and how it arrived at where it is now. I might say, in brief, and that is what my distinguished friend is interested in, that under the present law a man charged with criminal contempt gets a jury trial unless the Government is a party to the suit, and in labor disputes defendants get a jury trial even if the Government is a party to the suit. Under this so-called compromise which the House sent to the Senate, that will not be the case unless a judge in his discretion sees fit to give the defendant a jury trial, or the judge tries him and decides he wants to punish him to a greater extent than a $300 fine or a 45 days’ prison sentence, in which event he would then have a jury trial. Mr. President, under the version of the bill which was passed by the House of Representatives, the Attorney General could substitute the government for a private party, and thereby could deprive an individual of a jury trial. But the Senate amended the bill as passed by the House of Representatives; and the Senate sent the bill, as thus amended, back to the House of Representatives. The Senate, by means of one of its amendments, drew a distinction and delineated between civil contempt and criminal contempt. The amendment provided that if the purpose of the action the judge wished to obtain was compliance with his order, in the case of something to be done in the future, failure to comply with the order would constitute civil contempt; but if the purpose was to punish for something done in the past, failure to comply with the judge’s order would constitute criminal contempt. The Senate amended the bill, as I have stated, and returned the bill, as thus amended, to the House of Representatives. Then the House of Representatives added the amendment which I believe violates the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. It has been a pleasure, I assure the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. Mr. President, because of the authoritative place that Blackstone holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him at this time. Every lawyer respects Mr. Blackstone. He said: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law.}} That is what Blackstone said about trial by jury—that it is “the glory of the English law.” Blackstone further said: {{smaller block|And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under Providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} In other words, Rome, Sparta, and Carthage did not have trial by jury when their people lost their liberties. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen; chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth and the surest guardians of public justice, For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, that is what Mr. Blackstone said. No brighter legal mind ever shone in the brilliant galaxy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied to another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and he made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. * * * One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions.}} Mr. President, in my State the judge charges the jury as to the law, but he cannot comment on the facts. In some States a judge is not even permitted to charge the jury, unless the parties to the suit request it. I read further from the address by Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials, because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, those are the words of Associate Justice Brennan, in speaking about jury trials. I do not know how he could have stated the matter in much stronger terms. Mr. President, that statement by Associate Justice Brennan is most significant, to me, in that it comes from a member of the present Supreme Court of the United States. I shall not predict what the Court may do when the question of the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury, as embodied in the so-called compromise, is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill to be unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in the case of ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said—and this is the Supreme Court of the United States speaking: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Kennedy}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. If the Congress can say to the people of the United States that a Federal judge has absolute power to forbid a jury trial if the sentence is not more than 45 days in jail or a fine of not more than $300, and if such a law is held constitutional, what would there be to stop a future Congress from changing the amounts to 10 times those—in other words, let us say, to 450 days in jail and a fine of $3,000, or even more? As I see it, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is fighting for a principle. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. The principle—not the exact amount of the punishment or the exact amount of the fine—is the important consideration in this case. Mr. LANGER. In other words, the Senator from South Carolina is chiefly concerned with the principle, rather than with the exact amount of the punishment—whether it be 45 days in jail or a fine of $300, or whether it be more than that; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. Certainly it is a fact that the Congress should not give to any Federal judge the power to levy fines of $300 or to imprison for 45 days, without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Congress does not have power to do it if it wants to. Mr. LANGER. In my opinion, you certainly quoted excellent authority to sustain that view. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the Constitution provided that a Federal judge could give to a defendant a jury trial if he wanted to do so, or to refuse it if he wanted to do that, then there would be authority for what the House sent to the Senate. If the Constitution provided that in cases of criminal contempt defendants would be excepted from the jury. trial, the House would have been legally justified in passing what they did. But there is no exception to the right of jury trial in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution will first have to be amended in order that this so-called compromise bill, which has passed the House and is before the Senate, can be upheld. I cannot say what the Supreme Court will do, no one can say, but I do not see how they could make any other holding in view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is certainly what may be expected from the Court, in view of the statement I just quoted from Justice Brennan, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State, and I spoke on them during the night, starting with Alabama, and covered every State, including Wyoming. I cited the law and the section of the code, including North Dakota and all the States. They all have laws to protect the right to vote. In a few minutes, I am going to cite a Federal section to show that there is a Federal law already on the subject; so, if a Federal law were desired on the subject, we already have one. I think it is a matter that ought to be left to the States, but if people disagree about that, and if it is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, we already have a statute on the subject. But this bill is a violation of the Constitution on the right to a jury trial question, regardless. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Would the Senator be kind enough to read the statutes in South Carolina and Mississippi, if he has them? Mr. THURMOND. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. I shall discuss them in a few minutes. I do not know of a single case having arisen in South Carolina in which a potential voter has charged that he has been deprived of his right to vote. Had such an instance occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. When I was Governor of South Carolina, on May 1, 1947, I recommended to the State legislature that it repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature took favorable action and submitted the question to a vote of the people at the next general election, which was in November 1948. The people voted favorably on the amendment, and then in January 1949, or early in 1949, the legislature ratified the action of the people. Our poll tax was eliminated as a prerequisite to voting. So we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. We have a school tax, but no one has to pay to vote. Moreover, registration is necessary only once every 10 years. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina—if proof is desired—can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia (S. C.) Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that: “Estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution which protect a citizen’s tight to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9. SUFFRAGE}}}} {{smaller block|The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10. ELECTIONS FREE AND OPEN}}}} {{smaller block|All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 5.

REGISTRATION PROVIDED; ELECTIONS; BOARD OF REGISTRATION; BOOKS OF REGISTRATION}}}} {{smaller block|The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the first of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution.

RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE FREE}}}} {{smaller block|No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the {{sc|Record}} to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|SOUTH CAROLINA CODE—TITLE 23}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–73. APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF REGISTRATION}}}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration.

PROCEEDINGS IN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS}}}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom.

The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–75. FURTHER APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT}}}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make.}} I do not know of any other State which gives this protection. {{smaller block|If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} The supreme court will be called together to hear one man’s case on appeal. What more can we do than that? We have, first, the board of registration; next the court of common pleas, and then the supreme court. The supreme court will hold an extra session, if necessary, to hear the appeal, and even if there is only one man who feels that he has been disenfranchised, or disqualified, for any reason, to receive a registration certificate. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–100.

If it is not there, he can even go to the secretary of state at Columbia, if there is any local prejudice or other trouble. He can go to the State capital, and obtain a certificate from the secretary of state. That is the protection we give. We have some others. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–349.

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. A little while ago the distinguished Senator said that he had before him the election laws of all 48 States. Mr. THURMOND. That is true. Mr. LANGER. Are not the laws of South Carolina more liberal than those of other States? Mr. THURMOND. I think they are more liberal with respect to voting. I think we have gone further than have most of the other States. We repealed the poll-tax requirement. We have given every opportunity to everyone to vote. I do not know of anyone in my State today who is denied the right to vote if he wishes to vote. Our requirements are not too severe. The only requirement is that the voter must be able to read or write the Constitution. The Constitution was used in order to have reference to some document. Anyone who can read and write can read the Constitution as well as he can read anything else. Or if he cannot do that, he must own $300 worth of property. If he meets either requirement, he can vote. Mr. LANGER. The Senator stated that there was a Federal law in this connection. Mr. THURMOND. Yes. Mr. LANGER. May we have the Federal statute read? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has just asked me about the Federal law on the books with regard to voting. I should like to have the Senator from North Dakota and other Senators hear this. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Case}}] and other Senators to listen to the statute I am about to read. Last night I made the point that every State in the Union has laws on this subject. Of course, if the Senator from South Dakota has already made up his mind, I do not wish to take his time. Will he give me his attention for just a moment? Mr. CASE of South Dakota. The Senator from South Dakota is listening. Mr. THURMOND. I do not wish to take the Senator’s time if his mind is made up. But if his mind is open, I want him to hear this. I made the statement last night that every State in the Nation has statutes to protect the right to vote. I called upon the Library of Congress to compile those statutes, and I read them into the {{sc|Record}}. They will be found in my speech. Starting with Alabama and going through Wyoming, every State has laws protecting the right to vote. But some people say that we need Federal laws. I do not believe many people know that we have Federal statutes on the subject. For some reason or other they must have overlooked them. I wish to read the Federal law at this time to show that there is a Federal law on the statute books. It is designated as section 594 of chapter 29, title 18, of Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. It reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|594. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS}}}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the Office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} If anyone intimidates, threatens, or coerces another with respect to voting, or with respect to how he wishes to vote, or for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote, or to vote for whomever he chooses, there is a Federal statute under which a Federal judge can send him to jail for 1 year, or fine him $1,000. There is already a Federal statute on the subject. So why pass the bill coming from the House, or any other bill to provide the right to vote? The statute which I have just read is a criminal statute. It enables the Federal Government, if it wishes to protect the right to vote, to protect any man’s right to vote, because it can put a man in jail for as long as 1 year, or fine him $1,000 if he interferes with the right of anyone to vote. The only difference is that this is a criminal statute, and if a man were prosecuted under this statute he would get a jury trial. If we believe in the Constitution and in jury trials, we want to preserve that right anyway. The Constitution is clear on the question of jury trials. Article III., section 2, is specific on it. The Bill of Rights contains several references to it. The sixth amendment, in the Bill of Rights, is directly to the point. I have before me a decision—I do not know whether the Senator heard it or not—which upholds the contention that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man is entitled to a trial by jury under the Constitution of the United States if he is charged with criminal contempt. If there have been complaints to the Federal Government in any State of the Nation about people not being allowed to vote, why has not the Justice Department taken action under the statute to which I have just referred, and put offenders behind bars or fined them if they interfered with the right of other people to vote? The Federal Government has the power to do it. It is not necessary for it to have more power. The accused should have a jury trial. This is a free country. The mere fact that a jury returns a verdict which one of the parties may not like is no excuse for abolishing the jury trial. Either the Federal Government is not doing its duty in protecting people who have complained to it that they could not vote for one reason or another, or that voting has been interfered with for one reason or another, and has not given the proper protection to those people who complained to it, or there have been no complaints. If there have been any complaints, it was the duty of the Department of Justice to take action, and they could take action under the statute I have cited. There is no use beating about the bush and saying there is a duty to pass a right to vote bill. There is such a law on the statute books. Every State in the Union has such a law. The United States Code contains a provision protecting the right to vote. Let the Attorney General enforce this statute I have cited. If he has received any complaint from South Carolina about any man not voting, or has received a complaint from any other State, it is his duty to take action under the statute, and see that the one who interferes is punished. He can be put in jail for a year or fined $1,000. Mr. President, I am merely desiring to call this to the attention of Senators who are in the Chamber at this time, because so many of them do not seem to understand that we now have a Federal law on the books, section 594, which provides for the protection of voting rights. I do not know how it could be made any stronger. The Senator from North Dakota was asking about the South Carolina statute. I read from the statutes: {{smaller block|After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–656.

Does not the Senator from North Dakota think those provisions add to the protection of voters? Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator be kind enough to repeat the Federal statute? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am particularly interested in where the Federal statute states that one can be both fined and imprisoned. Mr. THURMOND. It says “or both.” {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} But such person can get a jury trial, though. In other words, that is just another crime. It is like when a man is charged with murder or any other crime. He will have a jury trial. If he is found guilty, then the judge can sentence him to $1,000 or 1 year in prison, or both. That is a strong statute. Mr. LANGER. I want to thank the distinguished Senator for bringing that to the attention of the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is entirely welcome. I think it is a statute that a good many people may have overlooked. There has been so much talk about the right to vote and people not having the right to vote protected until I thought the Senate and the people of the Nation ought to know that not only every State has laws protecting the right to vote, but the Federal Government also has on the statute books a statute protecting the right to vote. As I stated, that is section 594, of chapter 29, title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be glad to yield to my distinguished friend. Mr. LANGER. For a question? Mr. THURMOND. For a question. Mr. LANGER. Have there been any decisions by the South Carolina Supreme Court on any of the statutes which the distinguished Senator has read? Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall offhand that any cases have gone to the supreme court. In our State everybody registers and votes who wants to, and I guess that is probably the reason there have been no cases taken to the supreme court. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, prove there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right to vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an {{SIC|unsual|unusual}} grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and non-political, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I should like to have the Senator hear this. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people, to involve neighbor against neighbor. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others, to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make the testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate, before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A civil-rights division in the Justice Department is not needed, because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed; in fact, he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved and since there is no indication that conditions will change—unless the Attorney General and the Civil-Rights Commission create trouble—there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of a Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Part III. of the bill, as originally written—which was completely obnoxious—was removed. I have several times stated my views on part IV. I object to its grant of dictatorial power to the Attorney General. The Congress should never agree to place such authority in the hands of any one official of the Government. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which reads as follows: {{smaller block|(d) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. As I understand, in the case of the existing section 594, during all these years the Attorney General of the United States has had the power to enforce that section, and he has had the assistance of the United States attorneys in every State of the Union, and they have had the help of their assistants; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. In some of the States there are eastern districts, northern districts, southern districts, and western districts—for instance, as in the case of New York; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That also is correct. Mr. LANGER. And each of those districts has United States attorneys and assistant United States attorneys and United States marshals; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. So all the necessary machinery for the enforcement of section 594, to protect the voting right of any citizen of the United States who may have had his voting right denied, has been in existence all during this period of time; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. Can the distinguished Senator from South Carolina name a single case in which the Attorney General of the United States has tried to enforce any of these statutes? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator, I will say that I do not know about the situation in other States; but as for the situation in my own State, I have not heard of such a case. However, I can see why that would be; I can understand why probably there would not be any such cases in South Carolina. That is because anyone in South Carolina who wishes to register to vote, has no trouble doing so. But I have not heard that any cases of this sort have been brought in other States. Such cases may have been brought in other States, but I have not heard of any. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I wish to ask what additional power the Attorney General will have, if a new Assistant Attorney General is appointed, inasmuch as the Attorney General already has the help of other Assistant Attorneys General and the help of United States attorneys, whose appointments have to be approved by the Senate; they cannot be appointed until the Congress has consented to the appointments. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question asked by the Senator from North Dakota, I would say that I see no need for an additional Assistant Attorney General—who, if appointed, would receive a large salary. I see no need for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, because the Department of Justice already has a civil-rights section; and there has been no evidence of any need for a big division, similar to the one now proposed to be created. I think the establishment of such a division would simply mean the payment of more salaries and a larger Federal payroll and more taxes on the backs of the American people. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In other words, there has never been a time when, under present law, the Department of Justice could not have presented a case of that sort before a grand jury, if the Department had wished to do so; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. If there had been any complaint in either North Dakota or South Carolina, let us say, to the effect that someone had not been able to vote, although he was eligible to vote, all the Department of Justice would have had to do would have been to have the United States attorneys in those States look into the matter and take whatever action would have been appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his questions. Mr. President, a moment ago I read the provisions of section 131(d). It simply means that the district courts can, under that provision, bypass the State procedures, the administrative remedies under the State laws, and can take action, and thus can cause much tension, embarrassment, and trouble although it is not necessary to do so. If anyone cannot obtain justice through the administrative remedies of his State, then of course he will be able to go to the district attorneys, and they can prosecute under the Federal statute I have just read. But the use of the existing remedies under the State laws should first be required—which is the usual procedure one would follow. No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States should not be exhausted prior to having Federal district courts take jurisdiction in cases of election-law violations. In other words, I believe in letting the States run their business, if they will. A Federal statute already is in existence; and if there is need to use it, it can be used. But why not let the States handle the matter of voting and the other matters which are reserved to them under the Constitution? Let the States handle them. Then, if the States fail to do so or if they fall down in the performance of their duty, section 594 is in existence, and it can be used as a hammer with which they can be clubbed to death, if need be. The present proposal could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority, and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 spoke strongly on behalf of the Federal courts, during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. That is the point I made just a few minutes ago. I shall not go into further details with reference to the provisions of this part of the bill, but I am just as strongly opposed to it as I was when it was first introduced. I shall continue to oppose such grants of power to the Attorney General or to any other official. Mr. President, I based my opposition to H. R. 6127 throughout its consideration in the Senate on three principal points. I am convinced the bill is unconstitutional in several respects which I have cited. I know that it is unnecessary because the right to vote is fully protected in every State and under the laws of the United States where applicable. Finally, I know that the enactment of such legislation is extremely unwise. It is unwise because the sure result of passing this bill would be to destroy a great deal of the good feeling existing between the white and the Negro races, not only in the South but in every community where a substantial number of Negroes live. Nothing would be gained, but much would be lost. The Civil Rights Commission, by using its powers to attempt to force integration of the races, is bound to create suspicion and tension between the races to an even greater degree than the suspicion and tension which was created by the 1954 Supreme Court decision in the school segregation cases. Unbiased persons who are familiar with the segregation problem, and who observed the detrimental result of the Supreme Court decision, know that a traveling investigation commission and a meddling Attorney General could bring about chaos in racial relations. The chaos would not be confined to the South because the provisions of this bill will apply to every citizen in every State. However, the Attorney General, in exercising the discretion granted him, along with the extraordinary powers also granted him, must be expected to confine his investigations and his court actions to the States of the South. The South has often been derided and condemned on charges of sectionalism, but if the advocates of this legislation believe they will create greater unity instead of greater division in this country by the enactment of this bill, they are entirely mistaken. George Washington in his Farewell Address used his strongest language against those who would divide our country and urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern, Atlantic, and western—whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} H. R. 6127 is a blueprint for suspicion, confusion, and disunity. The laws of the Nation are dependent upon the customs and traditions of the people. Unless law is based upon the will of the people, it will not meet with acceptance. Government in this country derives no power except the power coming from the people. Laws which are not based on the Constitution, which is the basic statement of the will of the people, cannot be justified on any ground. Mr. President, when there is so much evidence that this bill is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unwise, it should never be approved. Force may subjugate the human body, but force by itself can never change the human mind. Laws, like leaders, must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. H. R. 6127 fails to measure up by any standard. It should be rejected. I appeal to every Member of this body who believes in constitutional government and the sovereignty of the people to vote against this bill. Mr. President, this bill, as I have stated before, has been widely called a right-to-vote bill. That is a completely misleading term. The bill, as I have stated, in my opinion, is unnecessary, because we have laws in every State to protect the right to vote. We have laws by the Federal Government to protect the right to vote. In the sections I have cited, a man can be punished severely for any interference with the right to vote. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}} yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas and other Senators, who requested the transaction of certain business, all of which appears in the {{sc|Record}} following Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, we have the finest Nation in the world. We have the finest Government in the world. In 1787 our forefathers met in Philadelphia and wrote a document called the Constitution. It was simply a compact between the States. Our forefathers came to this country to get away from tyranny. They had been punished many times without juries. They had been denied the right to worship as they pleased. They have been denied the right of freedom of speech. They had been denied the right of assemblage. They had been denied the right to petition the government, and they had been denied many other rights which we take as a commonplace in this country. They came here to enjoy the benefits of the Government they would establish to provide them those rights. After the States operating as colonies for a while felt the need of a central government for purposes of national defense, for purposes of commerce, for purposes of postal service, trade, and other reasons, they decided to form a union. They met in Philadelphia in 1787, and with deputies from all the 13 States attending that conferential meeting, all except Rhode Island—at that time Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals and ignored the whole proceeding—all with the exception of that one State, had deputies at the Constitutional Convention. They wrote a document to delegate certain of their powers—there were States before there was a Federal union, of course—to the Federal Government for the purpose of forming a union and a central government which could do certain things for the States better than they themselves could do them. At that convention there was a very difficult situation. The delegates had to start from scratch, so to speak, to write the basic law for a new nation. Much discussion and debate occurred there, but after working together for several months in Philadelphia they finally arrived at a document, or a compact, which was signed by the representatives of the States, delegating certain powers to the Central Government. Three of the delegates attending the convention were not pleased, and did not sign it. I believe I stated this morning who they were. They were George Mason, of Virginia; John Randolph, of Virginia; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. The other delegates signed their names, except one, who left, but had his friend sign it. The document was then presented to the States for ratification. Within due time ratification was had, but there was considerable opposition at the convention, and when the question of ratification arose, the main objection which was raised was that there was not spelled out in the Constitution a bill of rights. Some of the most powerful leaders in the States opposed ratification for that reason. Those who did not sign in Philadelphia opposed it chiefly, I understand, for that reason. The Bill of Rights is a document which we cherish. The Bill of Rights is the finest civil-rights bill in the world. The Bill of Rights is a genuine civil-rights bill. That document provides us with the fundamental civil rights which we enjoy in this country today. One of the bases of the Bill of Rights—and I like to call it the heart of the Bill of Rights—is the right of trial by jury. In the Bill of Rights, the sixth amendment is a trial-by-jury amendment. It provides specifically that any person charged with a crime shall be tried by a jury. I have previously brought out today that criminal contempt is a crime, and therefore, since it is a crime, a person charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. The bill which passed the House is a compromise, as most legislation is. Some people may have felt that that was the best the House and Senate could do, because the conferees got together and reconciled the differences between the two Houses. Ordinarily that principle would be sound in connection with legislation, but it is not sound here, because the effect of the so-called compromise would be to violate the Constitution of the United States. If the so-called compromise had provided that a judge, in his discretion, could try a man for criminal contempt, I would have opposed it just as much if no punishment whatever were involved, because the Constitution says that a man is entitled to a trial by jury when he is prosecuted for a crime. There is no discretion in the Constitution. There is no ''proviso'' in the Constitution. There is no exception in the Constitution. The Constitution is perfectly clear on that point. If the punishment provided in the bill in the House had called for 1 day’s imprisonment, or a fine of $1, I would be just as bitterly opposed to it. The Constitution of the United States provides that if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to a jury trial. Under the decision which I have cited here twice today, I believe, holding that criminal contempt is a crime, it is clear that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I do not believe that the compromise amendment is valid. I do not think it is constitutional. The amendment of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] delineated and defined civil contempt and criminal contempt, and provided that civil contempt proceedings were for the purpose of bringing about compliance, in which case the order would be issued prior to the act, and that criminal contempt proceedings were to punish, in which case the order would be issued after the act. If the House had accepted it, the American people would be guaranteed trial by jury in the event of a charge of criminal contempt, which is a crime. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield to me for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to ask the Senator if I understood him correctly to say that in his opinion the so-called jury-trial provision of the bill which has been returned to us by the House is invalid and unconstitutional? Mr. THURMOND. That is my opinion. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to say to the Senator from South Carolina that I completely agree with that opinion. It is impossible to govern the right of trial by jury by the discretion of the judge, according to the penalty he conceives he intends to inflict. I should like to ask the Senator another question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the distinguished Senator. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he agrees with me that the question of jury trial should be reexamined as soon as conveniently possible, and that I would be doing a wise thing if, when the new session of Congress assembles, I should introduce a repetition of the general jury-trial amendment, firm in the belief that the advocates of civil rights, upon examination of the pretended amendment which has come to us from the House, will discover that they have bought a pigeon instead of a swallow. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question, I will say that I agree with him that the bill should be reexamined; but I think the reexamination should take place before Congress passes the bill, and not wait until next January. Mr. O’MAHONEY. If the Senator will permit me to make this comment—will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND: I will yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I shall frame it in the form of a question. Does not the Senator agree that we are all weary and worn down; that most of us are almost as tired as is the Senator himself; and that perhaps when we return in January in the full vigor of our bodies and minds we shall be able to do a better job than we can do at this session of the Congress? I am going to introduce a jury-trial amendment in the next session in the firm belief that this jury-trial amendment accomplishes nothing; that it does not at all help the advocates of civil rights. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question I will say that I have been on my feet for the past 17 hours, and I still feel pretty good. But I agree that it has been a long, tough session. But even though it has been a long, tough session, I do not think we ought to quit now and pass a bill that the Senator and I both feel is unconstitutional. I think we should refer it to the committee, which I tried to do the other night, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. But I think this bill should not be passed at this session. I believe the Senator would prefer that it not be passed; but if it is passed, of course I should be delighted to have the Senator offer an amendment to correct the unconstitutional portion of it when we return in January. But I really do not see why we should have to pass an unconstitutional piece of legislation if we can avoid it. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for another question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. This question is a little different from the one I asked before. I am wondering if the Senator from South Carolina would cooperate with me in enabling me to pass a bill which does not involve any constitutional question. The Senate passed the bill without any opposition at all, and the House has returned it to the Senate with an amendment. I should like to move that the House amendment be concurred in by the Senate, and thus get the bill disposed of. Mr. THURMOND. If the Senator will ask unanimous consent for me to yield to him on condition that I can retain the floor, and, further, that I shall not be charged with a second speech when I resume the discussion of the present subject— The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Wyoming ask unanimous consent based on those conditions? Mr. O’MAHONEY. I do, Mr. President. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator from Wyoming this question: This is not a civil-rights bill, as I understand, is it? Mr. O’MAHONEY. No; it is not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Wyoming? The Chair hears none. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Mr. O’Mahoney, the “Approval of Contract with the Casper–Alcova Irrigation District, Wyoming,” is dealt with, as is a “Message from the House” and the “Enrolled Bills and Joint Resolution Signed.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina may proceed. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was speaking a few moments ago about the States and the Federal Government. I should like to remind the people of this country that we had States before we had a union, and that the only power the Federal Government had and the only power the Union had was the power delegated by the States in Philadelphia in 1787 and in the amendments to the Constitution since that time. All other powers which have not been delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States or to the people. I think the bill which is under consideration is unconstitutional. I think it is invalid. I think we are doing a useless thing. The proponents of the bill who feel that they are helping people, in my judgment, are going to find that there is just a lot of lost motion involved, because I do not believe the Supreme Court will hold this bill constitutional. I do not see how it could hold it constitutional. This compromise bill which came from the House leaves it entirely up to a Federal judge to say whether or not he is going to give a man a jury trial. That is not what our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. This bill provides that a judge shall decide whether he will grant a jury trial. Suppose he decides he will not grant a jury trial and then tries the defendant. Suppose he decides that the man ought to be imprisoned for more than 45 days or should pay a fine of more than $300. Then the case must be tried all over again. That is another reason why I think the bill is unconstitutional. When we once try a man we put him in double jeopardy by trying him again. So I think we are doing a useless thing here to pass a bill to provide that a judge can try a man and then, if he imposes above a certain sentence, the man can ask for a jury trial and then a jury can try the man. He would be tried twice. That is not only unconstitutional, it is also unfair, because if a judge tries the man himself and fines him more than $300 or sentence him to be imprisoned more than 45 days, then there is a trial ''de novo'', as they call it. But the judge’s finding of guilt is bound to influence the jury when the jury tries him a second time. It is my opinion that the man can plead double jeopardy. The distinguished Presiding Officer was a distinguished judge in Texas. Any lawyer knows that we cannot try a man more than once for the same offense. The bill coming from the House would allow the man to be tried twice. Mr. President, I want the American people to know what they are getting in this bill. They are getting a bill under which a judge can try a man and a jury can then try the same man. It is unconstitutional, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think it is extremely unfair, because the judge has already expressed his opinion, and if he is the judge who tries the case a second time he would be bound to show his feelings during the trial. Even if he did not show his feelings during the trial, in my opinion, his feelings would enter into the sentence after the trial. Mr. President, there are many things in this bill. I am not against civil rights, and I am not against voting. As I have said, the finest civil rights are those in the Bill of Rights. I am for genuine civil rights, not this so-called political civil rights. Both national parties that are pushing civil rights bills, this right to vote and other bills, are not doing it because they love the Negro. The southern white man does more for the Negro than any other man in any part of the country. This bill is motivated purely by politics. It is a political bill. We might as well face the facts as they are. Both parties are trying to play to get the Negro vote, and, in some States, if the Negroes vote as a bloc, which they should not do, they are herded to the polls like sheep and voted. If they vote as individual citizens, which they should, this would not occur. But for some reason, both parties think that they are going to vote as a bloc. I do not know how a few leaders do it, or just how it is done. But it is unfortunate, and it is unfair to the Negro, because it takes him out of the category of an individual. It takes away his dignity. It takes away his sanctity as an individual, in which he can take pride in himself, his accomplishments and his race and not be led around like a bull with a ring in his nose. But that is the feeling of both parties in this country. They think they can vote the Negroes in a bloc, and they are making this play on these civil rights bills, so-called. They are not civil rights bills. They are so-called civil rights bills. The politicians are pushing these so-called civil rights bills to make a play and try to get the vote of the Negroes in certain doubtful States. I have some good friends who are Negroes. I have helped many of them. I have represented them in lawsuits. I have loaned them money. I value the friendship of many Negroes, and I hate to see them treated like they are being treated. I hope that their real leaders, their genuine leaders, who are sincerely interested in them, will wake up some day and inform the members of their race just what is going on. Mr. President, there is no need in the world to pass this bill. In the wee hours last night, when most Senators were sleeping, I was here talking, and after I had the Library of Congress, Legislative Section, prepare for me, and I put into the {{sc|Record}} at that time, statutes which provide voting rights in all the States of the Nation. The {{sc|Congressional Record}} of last night contains those statutes of all the States from Alabama to Wyoming. In every one of the States of the Nation there are statutes that protect the right to vote. There is not a single one of the 48 States that does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. Why does the Federal Government have to have this bill passed? Is it not practically an insult to the States? It is. “We need it. The States will not enforce their laws?” If that be the case, all the Government has to do is to enforce the Federal statute I referred to today. Title 18, section 594, is the number of that Federal statute, which provides punishment for anyone who intimidates, coerces, or threatens any person for interfering with any other person in voting. That statute is as clear as a crystal. It provides for a fine of $1,000, or punishment of 1 year in prison, for anyone who interferes with the right of another citizen to vote. So, if there is anybody in this country today who is prevented from voting, all he has to do is to report it to the district attorney in his State, of if he prefers, to write the Justice Department. He can take that course, and action can be taken under that statute which is already on the books. Why put another statute on the books? Why put another statute which the Supreme Court will very probably hold to be unconstitutional? I do not know what the Supreme Court will hold. I do not like to take any chances with the Supreme Court. At any rate, the Constitution of the United States is clear, the wording is simple. Any seventh-grade child can read article III., section 2, of the Constitution of the United States and see that any citizen charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. He can also read the sixth amendment to the Constitution, one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and see that any man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It is very difficult to understand why the Congress, which is supposed to be composed of the brightest intellects in the country, or some of the brightest intellects, would pass a bill of this kind. Yet, if the Congress passes such a bill, this so-called compromise bill on voting rights, it will certainly amaze me if the Supreme Court does not hold it to be unconstitutional. I shall be badly disappointed if the Congress passes it. Of course, under the pressure of different organizations, left-wing organization, ADA and NAACP, both parties are dancing like jitterbugs on the civil-rights question, because they want to carry the doubtful States where the Negroes, although only a small percentage, if they vote in a bloc, can swing a State. I think it will be a great pity if the Congress passes this bill. I hate to see it pass such an unnecessary bill. It seems to me that every Representative in Congress and every Senator is practically insulting his home State if he votes for this bill. He is practically saying to the governor of his State and the legislators of his State, “Although you have bills to protect voting rights, we have no confidence in you, and although we have one Federal law, we are going to pass another Federal law, and ram it down your throats whether or not you want it.” I think it is almost an insult to the States. I suggest that they write the governors and see how many of them want this bill passed. I am wondering how many Senators in this body and how many House members have checked with the governors to find out if they want this unconstitutional monstrosity passed by the Congress. I do not believe 10 percent of the governors of the Nation would say, “We are weaklings, and we want you to pass a strong civil-rights bill because we do not have the courage to do it. We do not have the courage to protect our people.” As a matter of fact, Mr. President, the States already have laws on that subject, and I have read them into the {{sc|Record}}. The voting-rights statutes of the States have been read into the {{sc|Congressional Record}}, in the case of every State of the Union. Those who read the {{sc|Congressional Record}} will find them set forth there. Mr. President, if any Senator, on either side of the aisle, can state why it is necessary to enact another Federal law to protect the right to vote, I should like to have him do so, provided I am able to yield for that purpose without losing the floor and without having the remarks I make after yielding for that purpose counted as a second speech by me. I challenge any Senator on either side of the aisle to answer this question: Why is another Federal law needed in order to protect the right to vote, when there is already on the statute books section 594, which reads, in part, as follows: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose.}} In other words, one who intimidates, threatens, or coerces a voter, or even attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce him, may, under the provisions of this statute, be prosecuted. He may be prosecuted, not only if his purpose is to interfere with the right of such other person to vote, but also if his purpose is to interfere as to the person for whom such other person may wish to vote. Mr. President, are there teeth in this statute? There certainly are. This statute provides that anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, or attempts to interfere with his voting for whomever he wishes to vote for, can be prosecuted in a Federal court and can be fined $1,000 or sentenced to a prison term of 1 year. Do not those provisions constitute teeth and strength in the existing law? Of course they do. If there is in the United States, today, any person who is having any trouble in exercising his voting right, again I say that all he has to do is contact the Department of Justice or the district attorney in his home State, and action can be taken under this Federal law to punish any person who interferes with his right to vote. Inasmuch as section 594 is an existing Federal statute on that subject, why is it necessary to enact another Federal statute dealing with the right to vote? It would be absolutely useless, unnecessary, and futile to enact another Federal statute on that subject; it would be a great mistake to do so, especially in view of the fact that such a statute would be unconstitutional. Mr. President, please understand that I do not even concede that the Federal Government has a right to enter this field. Instead, I believe that these matters should be handled by the respective States. However, the Federal Government is already in this field—under the provisions of section 594, by means of which a person can be fined as much as $1,000 or put in jail for as long as one year, if her tries to interfere with the right of someone else to vote. Since the Federal Government already is in this field, why should another Federal law on the same subject be enacted? Mr. President, every day that passes, the Federal Government, here in Washington, D. C., is whittling away the rights of the States. It hurts me to see the Federal Government invade fields which are reserved to the States. I deeply regret that a bigger and more powerful Federal Government is being built up in Washington, D. C. This Central Government has become tremendously top-heavy. I should like to see the States have more power. Since World War II., the Communists have taken over approximately 17 countries. In doing so, they did not invade by means of troops using bayonets and tanks; those countries were not taken over in that way by the Communists. Instead, the Communists proceeded by way of infiltration. Poland was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Poles. Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Czechs. China was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Chinese. The Communists have been able to infiltrate into the central governments; they have been able to worm their way into the police systems, and then into the election systems. Then, before one could realize it, the countries were taken over by the Communists. Mr. President, why have the Communists been able to take over those countries? Since the end of World War II., they have been able to take over 17 countries, with populations totaling between 600 million and 800 million. The Communists have been able to do that because each of those countries has had a strong central government; and when the Communists obtained control of that central government, they were able to take over control of the entire country. Mr. President, the more we in the United States build up power in a strong central government, the more risk we run from the standpoint of subversive activities and infiltration. If the people of the United States have the vision to keep the 48 States strong—each with its own election laws and its own police system—there will be no way by means of which the United States can be taken over by subversion. But if more and more power is given to our Central Government, after a while the States will be nothing but territories, and will not have any power. Mr. President, the so-called civil-rights bill which the Congress is about to pass would simply take power a way from the States and would give it to the Federal Government. A Senator might say, “I should vote for the bill because it will help me in the elections.” Mr. President, Senators had better begin to think more about the welfare and safety of their country, and less about the elections. Mr. President, I am convinced that we must protect the States. The Constitution now protects them; but the Supreme Court and the Congress and the executive branch of the Government have been taking steps—by handing down decisions, passing laws, and issuing regulations and edicts—which violate the rights of the States and take away from the States the power they have. Mr. President, this development cannot continue to occur, if our country is to be safe. I am disturbed for the safety of my country. I am a brigadier general in the Army Reserve and if our country becomes engaged in an armed conflict, I am ready to serve. But we must keep our country stronger, or we shall find it engaged in conflict. One of the ways to weaken it is to weaken the States, as we are doing today, and to keep taking away the powers of the States and building up a powerful Central Government in Washington. It is the greatest mistake in the world. It was not contemplated when our Constitution was written. Our forefathers decided they would delegate a few powers to the Federal Government, and they spelled them out in the Constitution. All one has to do is to get the Constitution and read it. It spells out just what powers the Congress has, what powers the Federal Government has, but all other powers are reserved to the States and to the people thereof. At the rate we are going now, we will not have any States after a while. The Federal Government will have all the power. Mr. President, some time ago I read a book by a man by the name of James Jackson Kilpatrick, of Richmond, Va., printed by the Henry Regner Co., of Chicago, entitled “The Sovereign States.” I wish every American could read this book. I am going to read some excerpts from it today. I should like to have Senators listen to some of the passages in this book. This man is a great writer, a true patriot, and a great American. First, I am going to read a passage by John C. Calhoun, one of the five all-time great Senators, recently selected to have his portrait placed in the Senate reception room. John C. Calhoun, I think, is one of the greatest men this country has produced. I nominated him to be selected to have his portrait placed here, and I am proud the committee selected it. He was a man who had keen vision and a proper conception of the Constitution. There is one page in the beginning of the book by him that I want to read; it is very short. This is what he says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|The great and leading principle is, that the General Government emanated from the people of the several States, forming distinct political communities, and acting in their separate and sovereign capacity, and not from all of the people forming one aggregate political community; that the Constitution of the United States is, in fact, a compact, to which each State is a party, in the character already described; and that the several States, or parties, have a right to judge of its infractions; and in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of power not delegated, they have the right, in the last resort, to use the language of the Virginia resolutions, “to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining, within their respective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.”}} {{smaller block|This right of interposition, thus solemnly asserted by the State of Virginia, be it called what it may—state right, veto, nullification, or by any other name—I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions.}} {{right|{{sm|{{sc|John C. Calhoun}}}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Fort Hill}}, ''July 26, 1831''}}.|1em}} This was John C. Calhoun. He wrote that at Fort Hill, and if any Senators want to know where it is, it is at Simpson College. In fact, his home was at the college. Mr. President, my statement was that Fort Hill is at Simpson College in South Carolina. Of course, that is the greatest college in the United States. This book on the sovereign State was written, as I have said, by James J. Kilpatrick. First, I want to take up his introduction, and then I want to present some excerpts from the book: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Introduction}}}}}} {{smaller block|Among the more melancholy aspects of the genteel world we live in is a slow decline in the enjoyment that men once found in the combat of ideas, free and unrestrained. Competition of any sort, indeed, seems to be regarded these days, in our schools and elsewhere, as somehow not in very good taste. Under the curious doctrines of the Fair Trade Act, vigorous salesmanship is unfair, and retailers are enjoined against discommoding their fellows. Mr. Stevenson’s criticism of the administration’s foreign policy, during the last presidential campaign, was not that the policies were so very wrong: they were not bipartisan. With a few robust exceptions, our writers paint in pastels; our political scholars write a sort of ruffled-sleeve, harpsichord prose. We duel with soft pillows, or with buttoned foils; our ideas have lace on them; we are importuned to steer, with moderation, down the middle of the road.}} {{smaller block|These chamber music proprieties I acknowledge, simply to say, now, that the essay which follows should not be misunderstood. May it please the court, this is not a work of history; it is a work of advocacy. The intention is not primarily to inform, but to exhort. The aim is not to be objective; it is to be partisan.}} {{smaller block|I plead the cause of States rights.}} {{smaller block|My thesis is that our Union is a Union of States; that the meaning of this Union has been obscured, that its inherent value has been debased and all but lost.}} {{smaller block|I hold this truth to be self-evident: That government is least evil when it is closest to the people. I submit that when effective control of government moves away from the people, it becomes a greater evil, a greater restraint upon liberty.}} {{smaller block|My object is not to prove that the powers and functions of government have grown steadily more centralized, more remote from the people, for that proposition requires no proof; it requires only that one open one’s eyes. Rather, my intention is to plead that the process of consolidation first be halted, then reversed, toward the end that our Federal Government may be strictly limited to its constitutional functions and the States may again be encouraged to look after their own affairs, for good or ill.}} {{smaller block|A long time ago, the geometric mind of Edmund Pendleton offered a theorem. The State and Federal Governments, he said, must follow the path of parallel lines. Others have conceived the relationship in terms of spheres, separate but touching. The idea, when all this began, was that neither authority would encroach upon the other; and in the beginning, it was more feared that the States would usurp Federal powers than the other way around.}} {{smaller block|Now the rights and powers of the States are being obliterated. The encroachments of the Federal Government have widened its road to a highway and narrowed the road of the States to a footpath. Having deceptively added a dimension to the Federal line, the broad constructionists declare their faithful adherence to the plans of the original draftsmen. Soon, a geometry unknown to Pendleton can proclaim the apparent miracle of parallels that meet this side of infinity.}} {{smaller block|I do not know that the sovereign powers of the States may be regained at all. Justice Salmon P. Chase once remarked, with great satisfaction, that State sovereignty died at Appomattox. But I do most earnestly believe that an effort must be made to regain these powers. The alternative is for American Government to grow steadily more centralized, steadily more remote from the people, steadily more monolithic and despotic.}} {{smaller block|Only the States themselves can make the effort; which is to say, only the people of the States. Only if the citizens of Virginia, as Virginians; or of Texas, as Texans; or of Iowa, as Iowans, insist upon a strict obedience to the spirit of the 10th amendment, can the Federal juggernaut be slowed. Only if the people evidence a determination once more to do for themselves can the essential vitality of a responsible and resourceful society be restored.}} {{smaller block|I do not despair. So long as the I-beams and rafters of the Constitution remain undisturbed, the ravages of Federal encroachment may be repaired. A latent yearning for personal liberty, an inherited resentment against the authoritarian state, a drowsing spirit of independence—these may yet be awakened.}} {{smaller block|But again, the States, as States, will have to do it.}} {{smaller block|It will not be easy. In many influential quarters, it will not be popular. It is a sweet narcotic that centralists sell.}} {{smaller block|Yet there is high example to be found in what the States have done before to preserve their identity. They have not always been spineless. In times past they have resisted, now successfully, now unsuccessfully; but even in their failures, something has been gained merely in the assertion of State convictions.}} {{smaller block|My purpose here is first to examine the bases of State sovereignty; then to follow the State and Federal relationship from its beginnings under the Articles of Confederation through its refinement in the Constitution; next to review some of the comment on the role the States were expected to play. The place of the States scarcely had been fixed, it will be submitted, before advocates of consolidation began to whittle it down—first in the ''Chisholm'' case, which led to the 11th amendment, and more memorably in the Alien and Sedition Acts, which led to the “Doctrine of ’98” and the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of that year. It is proposed to follow this doctrine of the States’ “right to interpose,” in its various forms and applications down through the years, with particular emphasis upon the dangers of judicial encroachment and the need for State resistance against it. Finally, I have in mind to marshal some of the evidence which supports the case for the South in its immediate conflict with Federal authority, and to review other recent events that seem to me usurpations of the States’ reserved powers.}} {{smaller block|So much, then for the plan of this book. The political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall will not care much for it.}} {{right|{{sm|J. J. K}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Richmond, Va.}}, ''September 1956''.|1em}} That was the introduction to the book The Sovereign States, by James J. Kilpatrick. James J. Kilpatrick is one of the greatest editors in the Nation today. I will read certain excerpts from the book, beginning on page 3. First I will read a quotation opposite page 3: {{smaller block|The States within the limitations of their powers not granted, or, in the language of the 10th amendment, “reserved,” are as independent of the General Government as the General Government, within its sphere, is independent of the States. (Justice Samuel Nelson, ''Collector'' v. ''Day'' (1871).)}} Mr. Kilpatrick has done a fine job and rendered a great service to this country in writing this book: {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to here yield to the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, for a question. Mr. LONG. Did I correctly understand the Senator to make the statement that, according to the preface or introduction to the book, the book would be displeasing to those who agreed with Alexander Hamilton, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, the forerunner of the American Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. The editor said that the political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall would not care much for the book. Alexander Hamilton was a great American, but his philosophy was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. They were both great Americans, but Alexander Hamilton believed more in the theory of a strong Central Government, with the power residing in Washington. Thomas Jefferson’s idea was that the power should remain with the States, and that only so much power should be given to the Federal Government as was necessary to perform its functions as delineated in the Constitution. The Senator has probably read many books about Hamilton. In one of such books his philosophy is described in this way: {{smaller block|Speaking of education, Alexander Hamilton’s thought was to select some of the brightest young men and educate them, to make them leaders. Thomas Jefferaon’s philosophy was to give all an opportunity, and let the leaders rise where they would.}} So, when Kilpatrick wrote this statement I am confident that he was contrasting the philosophy of Hamilton more or less with that of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton was a very able man, one of the greatest Americans this country has produced; but his philosophy, as the Senator well knows from studying his life and history, was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it the view of the Senator that Alexander Hamilton would ever for a moment have approved of any proposal whereby an American accused of a crime would have been denied the right to present his case before a jury of impartial people who would hear the case, judge the evidence, and find him guilty or innocent? Mr. THURMOND. In reply, I will say no. I think Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both would have approved of trial by jury. They were both delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and they both rendered magnificent service in many ways. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, if the Senator will further yield, I believe he will find that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, did the Senator yield for a question or a statemen? Mr. LONG. The Senator yielded for a question. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the Senator from Louisiana for a question. The Senator is correct about Thomas Jefferson. I had in mind Madison. Mr. LONG. Does not the Senator realize that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention? The Senator is perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the convention which adopted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. Is not, the Senator perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of those who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson was the American Ambassador to France at the time the Constitution was drafted. Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Thomas Jefferson was Ambassador to France, but Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York State, and he signed the Constitution. In fact, he was the only delegate from New York State who signed the Constitution. When I spoke a few minutes ago about Jefferson, I was thinking about Madison. Madison signed the Constitution, as did Blair. Both were from Virginia. George Washington presided over the Convention. Mr. LONG. Is there any doubt in the Senator’s mind that, so far as Alexander Hamilton was concerned, he would never for a moment have contested the right of any citizen to be tried before a jury if he were accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I agree. If he had taken any other position, he would not have signed the Constitution. As I have stated, Alexander Hamilton was the only delegate from the State of New York who signed the Constitution as representing the State of New York. In the original Constitution, article III, section 2, provided for jury trial. Mr. LONG. Is it not, therefore, true that insofar as the right of a citizen to be tried by jury for a crime is concerned, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would have agreed 100 percent that the freedoms guaranteed Americans under their form of government included the right to be tried by a jury of their own neighbors, in the area where the crime was committed, in the event they were accused of committing a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I can yield only for a question. I shall be glad to express myself after the Senator has concluded. Let the Senator ask any question he wishes. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to state that, although the book from which the Senator is reading may not reflect the views of Alexander Hamilton, it is nevertheless correct to state that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would both have agreed that anyone accused of a crime should have the right to be tried before a jury of his neighbors? Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree. In my judgment, if Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were living today, and both were Members of the Senate, both would be fighting for the right to a jury trial, as provided in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to say that so far as we can determine there has never been a man who served in this body, and who was regarded as a great statesman, who has ever at any time advocated that American citizens should be denied their right to be tried by a jury in the event they were accused of committing a crime against the United States or against a State? Mr. THURMOND. I think the able Senator is eminently correct. I do not know of a great man in our history, any man whom I would consider great, whose name is on the lips of the people—I cannot think of a single one in our history who would take a position in opposition to jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Scott}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from Louisiana? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to paraphrase more or less the words of Shakespeare, that those American politicians who have fought against the freedom of Americans to be tried by a jury when accused of a crime have been politicians who more or less strutted and strutted their brief hour on the stage to be heard from no more? Mr. THURMOND. I do not think any man who takes a stand against giving a person a jury trial will be long remembered after he has gone or when his record is searched and it is found that he opposed a jury trial. I think we would immediately call for a reappraisal of his whole life in the event he had been considered a great man previous to that time. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that men like George Norris, William Borah, and Robert M. La Follette, who fought through the years for the right of trial by jury, have statues standing in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. In fact, there is a quotation from George Norris which I read last night. If I can put my hand on it I should like to read it to the Senator from Louisiana. I have never read a stronger statement in behalf of a jury trial. He said that in all cases a man should have a jury trial. The distinguished Senator from Virginia [Mr. {{sc|Byrd}}] and the distinguished Senator from Mississippi [Mr. {{sc|Eastland}}] and I introduced a bill in March to provide the very type of jury trial which Senator Norris recommended. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. The Senator from South Carolina having made a great study of all these matters involving jury trials, the freedom of Americans, and States rights, can he now name from memory a single one of those Senators who made a fight down through the years to deny American citizens of the right of trial by jury? Mr. THURMOND. I could not name a single man whom I considered a great man or a great Senator who opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator recall the names of any Americans who have served in this body and who have made a fight against the right of a man accused of a crime to be tried by a jury? Can the Senator offhand recall the name of any such person? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot recall the name of any American of any stature within my recollection who has opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator Borah’s statue is just outside the main entrance of the Senate Chamber, immediately outside the door? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. I see it every time I go through the door. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator William E. Borah, a great constitutional lawyer, even though he came from a very small Western State, population considered, was seriously considered by the Republican Party as its nominee for the Presidency of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. I have been told that. I did not know the Senator personally; only through reputation. But I know he was a great American. He declared on April 8, 1930: {{smaller block|I am not contending here that labor organizations can at any time employ threats, force, or violence or intimidation. They must keep within the law—}} He was referring there to jury trials in labor cases. I have a long report including a speech by Senator Norris on May 2, 1930. I read it last night— Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question at that point? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that those who oppose the right of jury trials are basically those who do not believe in the freedoms that Americans enjoy under the Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. I certainly agree with the Senator. I think the jury trial is one of the greatest freedoms we have. I look upon it as the heart of the Bill of Rights. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? MT. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that persons who fear that juries may not convict guilty persons are those who really have very little confidence in the determination of people to uphold free government? Mr. THURMOND. It seems to me they could not have much confidence in human nature; otherwise they would favor jury trials. To be tried by a man’s neighbors, his peers, his fellow men, is the fairest way a man could be tried. I sat on the bench for 8 years and tried many cases, but I always felt much better about it when a jury passed on the question. I watched closely the verdicts of juries. I was deeply impressed. I feel that juries come nearer to meting out justice to criminals than it can be done in any other way. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Recognizing the fact that it is possible for a jury to turn a guilty person free, is it not also true that the freedoms which Americans enjoy under their Constitution were calculated in such fashion as to express the philosophy that it is better to turn 9 guilty men free than to send 1 innocent man to the penitentiary or to his death? Mr. THURMOND. I never did go on the theory of nine guilty ones being turned loose. There is no doubt that there is a common saying to that effect. If I had to make a decision as to whether I would turn 9 guilty ones loose, or put 1 innocent man in prison, I would turn the 9 loose. I think that would be the thinking and the feeling of the average American. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Does not this logic become conclusively clear when we contemplate for a moment a capital punishment case where it is possible to put an innocent man to death? In such a situation, would it not be better for the court to turn 9 culprits loose rather than to kill 1 innocent man? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. There is no question about it. Some juries make mistakes. Anybody in any kind of work makes mistakes. Everybody has weaknesses and there are bound to be errors. Judges make mistakes. Of course, often a judge’s philosophy is different. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that anyone can make mistakes, is it not somewhat better that the scales of justice should be weighted a little in favor of finding a person innocent when there is a considerable doubt as to whether the person is innocent or guilty? Mr. THURMOND. Our law is based on the presumption that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a common legal principle that any lawyer knows about who has practiced any criminal law. I do not know precisely what the Senator had in mind on that, though, for this reason: I do not think if a man is given a jury trial, a jury necessarily lets him go free. I think a jury is going to do what it thinks is right unless it is biased, or has been approached in some way, or influenced in some way. Of course, that happens sometimes. It does not happen often, but I think it does happen sometimes. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Can the Senator imagine a judge who issues an order ordering the entire world to comply with his injunction as being as fair and impartial as a jury before which a case involving a violation of his order should be tried? Mr. THURMOND. When a judge hears a contempt case he is the legislator, he is the prosecutor, he is the judge, and he is the jury. If I were a judge and if such a law as is here proposed were on the books, if I were back on the bench, and if I had to act under this type law, I would submit it to the jury anyway. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that it is contemplated that a judge makes a law by issuing the injunction and then cites the individuals whom he cares to cite, can the Senator think of anything any more inappropriate than the judge who makes the law, addressed to individuals, should be the same person to try the same individuals for violating his own order? Does the Senator not believe that any judge worthy of the name would at least want to have a jury to prove that justice is being done to people who violated his own order? Mr. THURMOND. I think the Senator is eminently correct. It is unfortunate that a judge who issues an order of contempt has to try the case, because he has already made up his mind to a certain degree. Of course, that might be removed. But still he has made up his mind, or he would not issue the order. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that a person who is responsible for issuing the edict and commanding people to do certain things at his discretion should be the last person to make the final decision on who should be punished for not obeying his order? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. In fact, this is known as injunction-made law. That is what it is. It is injunction-made law, and it is bad law. It is much better to have a jury trial. That is the American way of doing things. That is one of the grievances complained of by those who signed the Declaration of Independence, as I have brought out, namely, that in a great many cases they were denied jury trials. Provisions for jury trial are embodied in several places in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so there is no question about the whole intent of our judicial system. Our administration of justice has been based upon jury trials. I think it is one of the most fundamental principles embodied in our type of government. If this so-called compromise amendment were to go a little bit further, it would sound more like a Communist amendment. I do not believe I read what Senator Norris said about jury trial. He said: {{smaller block|I wonder if a suffering people, whose forefathers fought for liberty, are going to give up the idea of it in this day and age, in this civilized day, and are going to submit to injunction-made law.}} He was wondering whether they were going to submit to it. {{c|{{x-smaller|1. THE BEGINNINGS}}}} {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} {{smaller block|This was on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, June 12, 1788, in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill in Richmond. The Virginia Convention had been grappling for 10 days with the new Constitution, and Edmund Pendleton, aging and crippled, had been sitting in dignified silence for as long as he could stand it. Patrick Henry, who was a hard man to live with at any time, was being especially difficult. Once before, on the 5th, Pendleton bad attempted to soothe him, but Henry was not to be soothed.}} {{smaller block|The State and Federal Governments would be at war with one another, Henry had predicted, and the State governments ultimately would be destroyed and consolidated into the General Government. One by one their powers would be snatched from them. A rapacious Federal authority, ever seeking to expand its grasp, could not be confined by the States.}} {{smaller block|“Notwithstanding what the worthy gentleman said,” remarked Mr. Pendleton with some warmth, for there were times when he regarded Mr. Henry as neither worthy nor a gentleman. “I believe I am still correct, and insist that, if each power is confined within its proper bounds, and to its proper objects, an interference can never happen. Being for two different purposes, as long as they are limited to the different objects, they can no more clash than two parallel lines can meet. * * *”}} {{smaller block|They were big ifs that Edmund Pendleton, a judicious man, here used as qualifications. If the State and Federal Governments were each confined within its proper bounds, be said, the clash could never come. But the Federal Government could not be kept confined, even as Henry feared, and the clash did come. It continues to this day. Mr. Pendleton’s geometry was fine, but his powers of prophecy (for be believed that each government could be kept in check) were sadly in error.}} {{smaller block|To understand how the parallel lines of State and Federal powers have turned awry, it is necessary to look back at the period before these lines were drawn. The acts of ratification by Virginia and her neighbors were acts of sovereign States. At stake was their consent to a written constitution. How, it may be inquired, did they come to be sovereign States? What is this concept of State sovereignty?}} {{smaller block|It would be possible, in any such review, to go back to the great roots of Runnymede, but it will suffice to begin much later, in the turbulent summer of 1776. The startling commitments of Lexington and Concord were behind us then; the bitter trials of White Plains, Vincennes, Camden, and Yorktown still lay ahead. March and April and May had passed—a time of bringing forth of newness, of fresh hope—and great human events had run their course. Now, in June, a resurgent people made the solemn decision to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another. Thus Jefferson’s draft began, thus the Continental Congress adopted it at Philadelphia; from this moment Americans unborn were to date the years of their independence.}} {{smaller block|The eloquent beginning of the Declaration—the assertion of truths self-evident and rights beyond alienation—is well known: It is a towering irony that Jefferson, whose convictions were cemented in the inequality of man, should have his precise phrase corrupted by the levelers of a bulldozer society. The Declaration’s beginning is too much recited and too little read.}} {{smaller block|What counts, for our present purpose, is not the first paragraph, but the last. Let us inquire, What, precisely, was it that we declared ourselves to be that Fourth of July? Hitherto there had been colonies subject to the King. That form of government would now be abolished. We would now solemnly publish and declare to a candid world—what? That the people of the colonies had formed a free and independent nation? By no means. Or that they were henceforth a free and independent people? Still no.}} {{smaller block|This was the declaration: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Not one State, or one Nation, but in the plural—States; and again, in the next breath, so this multiple birth could not be misunderstood, “that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.”}} {{smaller block|It had opened, this Declaration, as an enunciation of what often are termed the “human rights,” but it concluded, in the plainest terms, as a pronouncement of political powers—the political powers of newly created States. And these powers of war and peace, these powers of alliance and commerce, were published not as the powers of a national government, but as powers henceforth asserted by 13 free and independent states.}} {{smaller block|To be sure, the States were united. Their representatives styled themselves Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, but it was not the spokesmen of a nation who gathered in parliament. These were States in Congress. “One out of many,” it is said. In a sense, yes. But the many remained—separate States, individual entities, each possessed, from that moment, of sovereign rights and powers.}} {{smaller block|Certainly Jefferson so understood our creation. “The several States,” he was to write much later, “were, from their first establishment, separate and distinct societies, dependent on no other society of men whatever.”}} {{smaller block|So Mr. Justice Samuel Chase comprehended it: He considered the Declaration of Independence, “as a declaration, not that the United Colonies Jointly, in a collective capacity, were independent States, etc., but that each of them was a sovereign and independent State, that is, that each of them had a right to govern itself by its own authority, and its own laws without any control from any other power on earth.” From the Fourth of July, said Chase, “the American States were ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' in the possession and actual exercise of all the rights of independent governments. * * * I have ever considered it as the established doctrine of the United States, that their independence originated from, and commenced with, the declaration of Congress, on the Fourth of July 1776; and that no other period can be fixed on for its commencement; and that all laws made by the legislatures of the several States, after the Declaration of Independence, were the laws of sovereign and independent governments.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, the sage and cool-minded Mr. Justice Cushing: “The several States which composed this Union * * * became entitled, from the time when they declared themselves independent, to all the rights and powers of sovereign States.”}} {{smaller block|Even Marshall himself had no doubts: In the beginning, “we were divided into independent States, united for some purposes, but in most respects sovereign.” The lines which separate the States, he later remarked, were too clear ever to be misunderstood.}} {{smaller block|And for a contemporary authority, it is necessary only to turn to Mr. Justice Frankfurter, who some years ago fell to discussing the dual powers of taxation preserved under the Constitution: “The States,” he said, “after they formed the Union”—not the people, but the States, “continued to have the same range of taxing power which they had before, barring only duties affecting exports, imports, and on tonnage.” Regrettably, Mr. Justice Frankfurter appears in more recent times to have lost his concept of States forming a Union.}} {{smaller block|It is no matter. Evidence of the States’ individual sovereignty is abundantly available. Consider for example, the powers asserted on the part of each State in the Declaration “to levy War, conclude Peace, and contract Alliances.” Surely these are sovereign powers. The States exercised them, as States, in the Revolutionary War. But it is of value to note that New York also very nearly exercised her war powers to enter into formal hostilities with the State of Vermont. Tensions reached so grave a point that Massachusetts, in 1784, felt compelled to adopt a formal resolution of neutrality, enjoining her citizens to give “no aid or assistance to either party,” and to send “no provisions, arms, or ammunition or other necessities to a fortress or garrison” besieged by either belligerent. When New York adopted a resolution avowing her readiness to “ecur to force,”" Vermont’s Governor Chittenden (whose son was to be heard from 30 years later in another row) observed that Vermont “does not wish to enter into a war with the State of New York.” But should this unhappy contingency result, Vermont “expects that Congress and the 12 States will observe a strict neutrality, and let the contending States settle their own controversy.”}} {{smaller block|They did settle it, of course. New York and Vermont concluded a peace. The point is that no one saw anything especially remarkable in two separate sovereignties arraying themselves against each other. Vermont was then an individual political entity, as remote at law as any France or Italy. And New York, though a member of the Confederation, and hence technically required to obtain the consent of Congress before waging war, had every right to maintain a standing army for her own defense.}} {{smaller block|The status of the individual States as separate sovereign powers was recognized on higher authority than the proclamations of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is worth our while to keep in mind the first article of the treaty of September 3, 1783, by which the war of the Revolution came to an end:}} {{smaller block|“His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign, and independent States; that he treats with them as such.”}} {{smaller block|More than 5 years earlier, a treaty of amity and commerce with France had established the same sovereign status of the contracting parties. Louis XVI. treated with the 13 American States, but he recognized each of them as a separate power. And it is interesting to note that Virginia, feeling some action desirable to complete the treaty, prior to action by Congress, on June 4, 1779, undertook solemnly to ratify this treaty with France on her own. By appropriate resolution, transmitted by Governor Jefferson to the French minister at Philadelphia, the sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia declared herself individually bound by the French treaty. In terms of international law, Virginia was a nation; in terms of domestic law, she was a sovereign State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|2. THE STATE}}}} {{smaller block|To review the process by which the colonies became States is not necessarily to answer the basic question, What is a State? It is a troublesome word. The standard definition is that a State is “a political body, or body politic; any body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one government, especially one that is not subject to external control.” Chief Justice Chase, in ''Texas'' v. ''White'', put it this way: “A State, in the ordinary sense of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed.” In the Cherokee case, John Marshall described a State as “a distinct political society, separated from others, capable of managing its own affairs and governing itself.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, variously, a State is defined as a body, a community, and a distinct society. Plainly, mere boundary lines are not enough; a tract of waste and uninhabited land cannot constitute a State. Nor are people, as such, sufficient to constitute a State. James Brown Scott once offered this clear and succinct definition:}} {{smaller block|“The State is an artificial person, representing and controlled by its members, but not synonymous or identical with them. Created for a political purpose, it is a body politic. It is a distinct body, an artificial person; it has a will distinct from its members, although its exercise is controlled by them; it has rights and duties distinct from its members, but subject to being changed by them; it may hold property distinct from its members, but in trust for them; it may act separately and distinctly from them and bind them by its acts, but only insofar as it is authorized by the law of its creation, and subject to being changed by the source of that power.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the State is seen as a continuing political being, controlled by its citizens and yet controlling them. The State can be bound in ways that its own people cannot be bound; it can exercise powers that no citizen or group of citizens may exercise for themselves. The State may buy, sell, hold, grant, convey; it may tax and spend; it may sue, and if it consent, be sued; it exists to create law and to execute law, to punish crime, administer justice, regulate commerce, enter into compacts with other States. Yet there is no State until a community of human beings create a State; and no State may exist without the will and the power of human beings to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|It is this combination of will and power which lies at the essence of the State in being. This is sovereignty. In the crisp phrase of John Taylor, of Caroline, sovereignty is “the will to enact, the power to execute.” Long books have been written on the nature of sovereignty, but they boil down to those necessities: The will to make, the power to unmake.}} {{smaller block|It was this power, this will, that the people as States claimed for themselves in 1776. Henceforth, they said, we are sovereign: The State government is not sovereign, nor is any citizen by himself sovereign. By the “sovereign State” we mean us citizens, the State; we collectively, within our established boundaries; this community of people; we alone who are possessed of the power to create or to abandon.}} {{smaller block|God knows it was a great, a priceless, power these people as Stat es claimed for themselves. True, not everyone saw it that way. Mr. Justice Story, for one, never grasped the concept of States. Nor did Jackson. Albert J. Beveridge, in his biography of Marshall, refers sneeringly to the States as “these pompous sovereignties,” but in a way, Beveridge’s is perhaps a high acknowledgment of the simple truth: These infant States were sovereignties, and the people within them were proudly jealous of the fact. They saw themselves, in Blackstone’s phrase, “a supreme, irresistible, absolute, uncontrolled authority.” This, among other things, was the aim they had fought for. It cannot be imagined that they ever would have relinquished this high power of sovereignty except in the most explicit terms.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|3. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION}}}} {{smaller block|In time, the Continental Congress gave way to the Articles of Confederation. The articles merit examination with the utmost care; they are too little studied, and there is much to be learned from them.}} {{smaller block|First proposed in 1778, the articles became binding upon all the States with Maryland’s ratification in 1781. Throughout this period, as the war ran on, each of the States was individually sovereign, each wholly autonomous. Mr. Justice Iredell was to observe, in 1795, that had the individual States decided not to unite together, each would have gone its own way, because each “possessed all the powers of sovereignty, internal and external * * * as completely as any of the ancient kingdoms or republics of the world which never yet had formed, or thought of forming, any sort of Federal union whatever.”}} {{smaller block|But they did form a Federal union—a “perpetual union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.” They styled themselves, “The United States of America,” and in the very second article of their compact, they put this down so no one might miss it:}} {{smaller block|“Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”}} {{smaller block|The third article is almost equally brief, and may be quoted in less space than would be required to summarize it:}} {{smaller block|“The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.”}} {{smaller block|There will be seen, in these opening paragraphs, the genesis of constitutional provisions that were to follow in less than a decade. Here is the forerunner of the 10th amendment, with its reservation of undelegated powers to the State or to the people; here are the aims set forth of “common defense” and the “general welfare.”}} {{smaller block|The fourth article advanced other phrases that have come down to us: The free inhabitants of each State (“paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice excepted”) were to be entitled to “all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” Here, too, one finds the provision, later to be inserted substantially verbatim in article IV. of the Constitution of 1787, providing for the extradition of fugitives. Here the States mutually agreed that “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth article provided for representation of the States in Congress. There were to be no less than 2, no more than 7 delegates from each State. They would assemble on the first Monday in November of every year. In this Congress, each State cast one vote; each State paid the salary and maintenance of its own delegates. These provisions, of course, were later abandoned; but we may note that the fifth article prohibited delegates to the Congress from “holding any office under the United States for which he or another for his benefit receives any salary, fees, or emolument of any kind,” and also provided that “freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress.” Both provisions were to turn up later in article I., section 6, of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The sixth and seventh articles dealt generally with limitations upon the States in terms of foreign affairs and the waging of war. Again, many a familiar phrase leaps from this much-maligned compact of Confederation. No State, nor the Congress, was to grant a title of nobility; no two or more States were to enter into any treaty, confederation, or alliance without the consent of the other States in Congress assembled; no State was to keep vessels of war in time of peace (“except such number as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled”), nor was any State to engaged in war without the consent of Congress “unless such State be actually invaded by enemies, or * * * the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay * * *.”}} {{smaller block|The eighth article provided for defraying the expenses of war among the State “in proportion to the value of all land within each State,” and the ninth article dealt with the powers of Congress. Once more, the origin of a dozen specific phrases in our present Constitution is evident. Congress was given the “sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war.” It was to enter into treaties and alliances, establish certain courts, fix standard weights and measures, and establish post offices. But the Congress alone could do almost none of these things—it could exercise no important power—without the consent of nine of the member States.}} {{smaller block|The remaining 4 articles are of less interest and concern, although it may be noted that in 3 places, the framers of the Articles of Confederation provided that their union was a permanent union. The articles were to be inviolably observed by the States the delegates respectively represented, “and the union shall be perpetual.”}} {{c|{{x-smaller|4. WE, THE PEOPLE}}}} {{smaller block|Of course, it wasn’t perpetual at all. Before 6 years had elapsed, the States came to recognize grave defects in the Articles of Confederation. And because they were sovereign States—because they had the will to enact and the power to execute, because they who had made could unmake—they set out to do the job again.}} {{smaller block|What they made, this time, was the Constitution of the United States. So much has been {{SIC|writen|written}} of the deliberations that summer of 1787 in Philadelphia—so many critics have examined every word of the great document which came forth—that probably no new light can be shed upon it here. Yet the constitutions of most States command their citizens to recur frequently to fundamental principles and the commandment is too valuable an admonition to be passed by. There is much of interest to be found if one examines the Constitution, the debates and the commentaries of the time, in terms of the relationship there established between the States and the new Federal Government they formed.}} {{smaller block|It may be inquired, was sovereignty here surrendered in whole or in part? What powers were delegated, what powers retained?}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I do not want the Senator to strain his voice, but I do have some responsibilities as minority leader. I do not think the Senator is making any motion, but I should at least like to know what is going on in the Senate Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield for a question if the Senator has a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. My question is, Would the Senator speak up? I do not want him to strain his voice, but I should like him to speak a little louder so I shall be sure no motions are being made or anything of that sort. I do have some responsibility here. Mr. THURMOND. I suggest that the Senator move closer to me. Mr. KNOWLAND. Under the rules of the Senate, which are now being strictly enforced, both Senators being in their respective seats, and this happening to be my seat as the minority leader, I urge my request of the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. We might get unanimous consent to allow the Senator to come closer to me if he wishes. I do not think my colleagues will raise any point. There is an excellent seat here, I may say to the Senator. Mr. KNOWLAND. I am very well satisfied with the seat to which I am assigned. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I continue to read: {{smaller block|What were the functions to be performed by the States in the future? Was it ever intended that the States should be reduced to the weakling role thrust upon them in our own time? We must inquire whether this proud possession of State sovereignty, so eloquently proclaimed in 1776, so resolutely affirmed in the articles of 1781, so clearly recognized in the events of the time, somehow vanished, died, turned to dust, totally ceased to exist in the period of the next 6 years.}} {{smaller block|Now, the argument here advanced is this—it is the argument of John Taylor of Caroline and John Randolph of Roanoke—that sovereignty, like chastity, cannot be surrendered in part. This was the argument also of Calhoun: “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” This was the position, too, of the bellicose George Troup of Georgia, of Alexander H. Stephens, of Jefferson Davis. It is the position of plain commonsense: Supreme and ultimate power must be precisely that. Finality knows no degrees. In law, as in mountain climbing, there comes a point at which the pinnacle is reached; nothing higher or greater remains. And so it is with the States of the American Union. In the last resort, it is their prerogative alone (not that of Congress, not that of the Supreme Court, not that of the whole people) to make or unmake our fundamental law. The argument here is that the States, in forming a new perpetual union to replace their old perpetual union, remained in essence what they had been before: Separate, free, and independent States. They surrendered nothing to the Federal Government they created. Some of their powers they delegated; all of their sovereignty they retained.}} {{smaller block|It is keenly important that this distinction be understood. There is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign power. The power to coin money, or to levy taxes, is a sovereign power, but it is not sovereignty. Powers can be delegated, limited, expanded, or withdrawn, but it is through the exercise of sovereignty that these changes take place. Sovereignty is the moving river, sovereign powers the stone at the mill. Only while the river flows can the inanimate stone revolve. To be sure, sovereignty can be lost—it can be lost by conquest, as in war; the extent or character of sovereignty can be changed, as in the acquisition or relinquishment of territory or the annexation of new peoples; sovereignty can be divided, when two States are created of one. But properly viewed, sovereignty is cause; sovereign powers, the effect: The wind that blows; the branches that move. Sovereignty is the essence, the life spirit, the soul: And in this Republic, sovereignty remains today where it was vested in 1776, in the people. But in the people as a whole? No. In the people as States.}} {{smaller block|The delusion that sovereignty is vested in the whole people of the United States is one of the strangest misconceptions of our public life. This hallucination has been encouraged, if not directly espoused, by such eminent figures as Marshall, Story, and Andrew Jackson. It is still embraced by excessively literal and unthinking fellows who read “we the people” in the preamble to the Constitution, and cry triumphantly, “that means everybody.” It does not; it never did.}} {{smaller block|The preamble to the abandoned Articles of Confederation, it was noted, declared the articles “binding between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York,” and so forth. The preamble offered by the Convention of 1787, reads:}} {{smaller block|“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”}} {{smaller block|The opening few words were questioned repeatedly by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention of 1788. He kept asking querulously, what was meant by “we the people,” but he got no very satisfactory answer for his pains. Governor Randolph ducked the question, and Pendleton missed the point. Pendleton asked, rhetorically, “who but the people have a right to form government?” and the answer, obviously, in America, is “no one.” Then Pendleton said this:}} {{smaller block|“If the objection be, that the Union ought to be not of the people, but of the State governments, then I think the choice of the former very happy and proper. What have the State governments to do with it?”}} {{smaller block|Again, the obvious answer is, “The State governments have nothing to do with it,” but that was not the question Henry asked. There is a plain distinction between “we the States” and “we the State governments,” for States endure while governments fall. It was Madison who came closest to answering the insistent Henry. Who are the parties to the Constitution? The people, said Madison, to be sure, are the parties to it, but “not the people as composing one great body.” Rather, it is “the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” And he added:}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina when he was a judge in South Carolina? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair cannot hear. Will the Senator speak a little louder? Mr. THURMOND. From 1938 to 1946, 8 years. Mr. LANGER. The Senator was a circuit judge, was he not? Mr. THURMOND. Yes; in the highest trial court in the State. About half that time I was in the Army, overseas. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Continuing to quote from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|“Were it * * * a consolidated government, the assent of a majority of the people would be sufficient for its establishment; and, as a majority have adopted it already, we remaining States would be bound by the act of the majority, even if they unanimously reprobated it * * * But, sir, no State is bound by it, as it is, without its own consent.”}} {{smaller block|Col. Henry Lee took the same point of view in responding to Patrick Henry. Lighthorse Harry spoke as other proponents of the Constitution did, in irritation and perplexity. He could not comprehend why Henry’s question should even be asked. Obviously, the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble—the “we the people” there and then engaged in ratifying the Constitution—were we “the people of Virginia.” If the people of Virginia “do not adopt it, it will always be null and void as to us.”}} {{smaller block|Here Lee touched and tossed aside what doubtless was so clear to others that they could not understand what Henry was quibbling about. Of course, “we the people” meant what Madison and Lee found so obvious: It meant “we the people of the States.” Why argue the point? “I take this,” said Randolph testily, “to be one of the least and most trivial objections that will be made to the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|The self-evident fact, as plain as the buttons on their coats, was that the whole people, the mass of people from Georgia to New Hampshire, obviously had nothing to do with the ratification of the Constitution. The basic charter of our Union never was submitted to popular referendum, taken simultaneously among the 3 million inhabitants of the country on some Tuesday in 1788. Ratification was achieved by the people of the States, acting in their sovereign capacity not as “Americans,” for there is no “State of America,” but in their sovereign capacity as citizens of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Georgia.}} {{smaller block|This was the sovereign power that sired the new Union, breathed upon it, gave it life—the power of the people of the States, acting as States, binding themselves as States, seeking to form a more perfect union not of people, but of States. And if it be inquired, as a matter of drafting, why the preamble of the Articles of Confederation spelled out 13 States and the preamble of the Constitution referred only to “we the people,” a simple, uncomplicated explanation may be advanced: The framers of the Constitution, in the summer of 1787, had no way of knowing how many States would assent to the compact.}} {{smaller block|Suppose they .had begun the preamble, as they thought of doing, “We the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island,” etc., and the State of Rhode Island had refused to ratify? It very nearly did. It was not until May 29, 1790, by a vote of 34 to 32, that Rhode Island agreed to join a union that actually had been created with New Hampshire’s ratification nearly 2 full years before. Given a switch of two votes, Rhode Island might have remained, to this day, as foreign to the United States (in terms of international law) as any Luxembourg or Switzerland.}} {{smaller block|Some of these forebodings clearly passed through the minds of the delegates at Philadelphia. When the preamble first appears in the notes, on August 6, it reads: “We the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,” etc., “do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution.” In that form it was tentatively approved on August 7. But the preamble, in that form, never is mentioned again. When the document came back from the Committee on Style in early September, the preamble had been amended to eliminate the spelled-out names of States, and to make it read simply that “we the people” ordain and establish. The change was not haggled over. No significance was attached to it. Why arouse antagonism in New York or North Carolina (where there was opposition enough already) by presuming to speak, in the preamble, as if it were unnecessary for New York or North Carolina even to debate the matter? The tactful and prudent thing was to name no States. Only the people as States could create the Union; only the people in ratifying States would be bound, as States, by its provisions.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|5. THE STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, that was the way the compact read. It bound States—“The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between”—between whom?—“between the States so ratifying the same.” Not among people; it was “between States.” And this proposal was put forward “by the unanimous consent,” not of delegates assembled or of people gathered, but by “the unanimous consent of the States present the 17th day of September in the year of our Lord 1787 * * *.”}} {{smaller block|On the plain evidence of the instrument itself, it is therefore clear: States consented to the drafting of the Constitution; States undertook to bind themselves by its provisions. If 9 States ratified, the Constitution would bind those 9; if 10, those 10. Rhode Island had not even attended the convention; “poor, despised Rhode Island,” as Patrick Henry later was to describe her, could stay aloof if she chose. There was no thought here of people in the mass. There was thought only of people as States, and while the new Constitution would of course act directly upon people—that was to be its revolutionary change—it would reach those people only because they first were people of States.}} {{smaller block|The one essential prerequisite was for the State, as a State, to ratify; then the people of the State would become themselves subject to the Constitution. No individual human being, in his own capacity, possibly could assent to the new compact or bind himself to its provisions. Only as a citizen of Virginia or Georgia or Massachusetts could he become a citizen also of the United States.}} {{smaller block|Madison recognized this. He acknowledged in his famed Federalist 39 that ratification of the Constitution must come from the people “not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.” “Each State,” he said, in ratifying the Constitution, “is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” This fact lay at the essence of the Federal Union being formed. The States, and within them their local governments, were to be “no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The jurisdiction of the Federal Government was to extend “to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.” Even the most casual reading of the Constitution, it may be submitted, abundantly supports Madison’s comment here.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield to the able Senator from North Dakota for a question. Mr. LANGER. I should like to ask whether at any time in the history of South Carolina the courts permitted a defendant to be tried without a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In South Carolina anyone who wishes a jury may have one. There are a few instances where both sides agree to be tried without a jury, by the court. But a defendant is entitled to a jury trial in my State, as is the case in other States which follow the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. In what year was South Carolina admitted to the Union? It was one of the original colonies, was it not? Mr. THURMOND. In 1789. It was the eighth State admitted to the Union. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further for a question? Mr: THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Even at that time in South Carolina a defendant had the right to a jury trial, did he not? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. That has been the law continuously up to the present time? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. A defendant in South Carolina is always entitled to a jury trial when charged with a crime. Mr. LANGER. Is that also true in North Carolina? Mr. THURMOND. I would not attempt to speak for North Carolina, but I feel quite certain that that is a fact. I believe nine States ratified the Constitution before North Carolina did. So North Carolina came in after the Union was formed. So did Rhode Island. Rhode Island was the only State that did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The reason for that was that Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals at that time and it did not send any deputies. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it true that in every State in the United States under our Constitution a defendant has the right to a trial by jury in a criminal case? Mr. THURMOND. In every State of the United States a defendant charged with a crime has the right of trial by jury. Some persons confuse magistrate courts or minor courts; but even there, although we may not see it, there is a jury box. Most persons, unless they are lawyers, do not know that defendants are entitled to a jury trial in those courts. There is a jury box hidden somewhere. Nine out of ten do not ask for a jury trial; that is, in cases where the punishment is a fine of $100 or 30 days. But even there if a man says “Wait a minute, Mr. Recorder; I want a trial before a jury,” it must be given to him. Mr. LANGER. That is true, for example, if a man is arrested and charged with spitting on the sidewalk or with stealing one cent? Mr. THURMOND. Any crime. Mr. LANGER. In other words, trial by jury is fundamental? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct; and rightly so, because that was one of the grievances pointed out a little earlier today that our forefathers listed in the Declaration of Independence. That was one grievance charged against the King, that in many cases persons had been denied trial by jury. That is written definitely into the Constitution. The right of trial by jury was included in several places in the Bill of Rights. The sixth amendment provides that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That was because our forefathers were taking no chances on not having a jury trial assured to them under the Constitution. In the seventh amendment it is provided, also, and there is another provision, I believe, in the fifth amendment, that a man must be indicted by a grand jury before he is tried. Under the bill that came from the House a grand jury will not pass on the question at all. Under this so-called compromise, a man is taken before a judge and is tried. He is not even asked if he wants a trial by a jury. But in the usual procedure, when the Constitution is followed, a man has to be indicted by a grand jury. In my State 18 grand jurors have to agree to a true bill before a man can be brought up for trial. He has a trial before a petit jury. In Federal courts a man can be indicted by a grand jury or on information, but in State courts a man is indicted by a grand jury. But in all the history of judicial administration in this country it has been clear that the American people have been entitled to a jury trial, and it goes back even further than the Declaration of Independence. It goes back to the Magna Carta, when the citizens of England wrung from King John in the year 1215, at Runnymede, certain rights for the people. I presume you and I, Mr. President, would call them civil rights, more or less, or corresponding to our Bill of Rights. But the people wrung from King John certain rights, and one of those rights was that a man charged with a crime would be entitled to a jury trial. So, going back to the year 1215, on down to this time, our people have had a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a further question. Mr. LANGER. Is it the opinion of the Senator from South Carolina that of all the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights the very heart and very core of the 10 amendments is the right of the defendant to be tried by a jury? Mr. THURMOND. All the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights are important, but I think the trial-by-jury provision as generally spoken of is the heart of the Bill of Rights. That is the importance attached to it. It is generally spoken of as the heart of the Bill of Rights. In other words, if there should be cut out of the Bill of Rights the right of a trial by jury you have cut the heart of the Bill of Rights out; it would be excised. What is it to have freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of the press or right to petition the Government or the right to assemble, all of which are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, or to keep troops from being quartered in our homes, or all the other things guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if some tyrant, whether a Federal district judge, or any other kind of tyrant, can take a man and himself try him without a jury and put him in prison; and, of course, if a man is in prison he cannot enjoy his civil rights? Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator. We have gotten down to the very core of this entire proposal. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate his deep interest in this matter. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota has manifested an unusual interest in the right of trial by jury. He has the vision to see the importance of trial by jury and to see how this proposed bill the House has passed is attempting to bypass the Constitution and in doing so, of course, is violating the Constitution and therefore is a bill the Congress ought to kill. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. For 4 years I was attorney general of my State. Mr. THURMOND. I understand the Senator made a very distinguished record as attorney general of the State of North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. During that time, of course, I had a great deal to do with juries. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure the Senator did. Mr. LANGER. And in every single case I submitted to a court a jury trial had been waived. Mr. THURMOND. Every case the Senator tried I imagine was before a jury. Mr. LANGER. That is correct. I should like to ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina whether in his experience in South Carolina it is true that the average defendant can get better justice from a jury than he can from a judge, no matter how honest and fair the judge may be? Mr. THURMOND. Regardless of how fair and impartial the judge is or wants to be, it is my judgment from my experience on the bench for 8 years—and as I said, for about half of that time I was in the Army during World War II.—and from my practice of law before then, since 1930 when I was admitted to the bar—and after I left the Governor’s office in January 1951, I practiced until I came to the Senate—I consider that juries give fair verdicts, and I think it would be destroying the administration of justice if we should take any step to hamper or injure or impair in any way the jury system of the United States. Mr. LANGER. Again I want to thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I read further: {{smaller block|But the Constitution ought not to be read casually. Viewed from the standpoint of State and Federal relations, what does the Constitution say and do? The rubrics do not demand, before an ordinary mortal may explore the question, that he be ordained a constitutional lawyer or put on the chasuble of the bench. Our Constitution is not the property of a juridical clergy only. The laity may read it too, and with equal acuity and understanding. The terms are not ambiguous.}} {{smaller block|The first thing to note, perhaps, is that the words “State” or “States” appear no fewer than 94 times, either as proper nouns or pronominals, in the brief 6,000 words of the original 7 articles. The one theme that runs steadily through the whole of the instrument is the knitting together of States: It is a union that is being formed, and while the people are concerned for themselves and their posterity, the Constitution is to be established binding States.}} {{smaller block|Legislative powers, to begin at the beginning, are vested not in one national parliament of the people, but in a Congress of the United States. The word “Congress” was chosen with precision; it repeated and confirmed the political relationship of the preceding 11 years, when there had been first a Continental Congress and then a Congress under the Articles of Confederation.}} {{smaller block|This Congress is to consist of two Houses. The first is the House of Representatives, whose Members are to be chosen “by the people of the several States.” And here, in the very second paragraph, the framers encountered and opportunity to choose between a “national” and a “federal” characteristic: They might have established uniform national qualifications for the franchise, but they did not. Electors qualified to vote for candidates for the House of Representatives are to have “the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned—how? “Among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers.” How is this enumeration to be determined? The provision should be noted with care, for it is the first of four clauses that speaks eloquently of the plural nature of our Union: “The actual enumeration shall be made within 3 years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.” Now, the antecedent of they is not “Congress,” but “United States.” Nowhere in the whole of the Constitution or in any of the subsequent amendments is the United States an “it.” The singular never appears.}} {{smaller block|What else sheds light in the second section of article I.? We find that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” whereupon follows a rollcall of the States themselves: “Until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse 3, Massachusetts 8,” and so forth. And when vacancies happen “in the representation from any State,” the Governor thereof is to issue a writ of election.}} {{smaller block|The dignity and sovereignty of States are made still more evident in the composition of the Senate. It is to be composed “of two Senators from each State,” and whereas Representatives are required to be inhabitants of the States “in which” they shall be chosen, Senators must be inhabitants of the States “for which” they shall be chosen.}} {{smaller block|It is in section 4 that the first grant of authority to the Federal Government appears: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but”—and here the qualified concession—“the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chusing Senators.”}} {{smaller block|The delegations of power to a federal government appear most fully, of course, in section 8, but it is worth noting that not all the powers delegated to Congress are exclusive and unqualified powers. Thus, the Congress may raise and support armies, “but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.” Thus, the Congress may provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of the militia as may be employed in the service of the United States, but there is reserved “to the States respectively” the appointment of officers and the authority to train their militia according to regulation established by Congress. Thus, too, Congress may exercise Federal authority over federally owned property within the States, but how is such property to be acquired? The authority of the Congress extends only to those places “purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be,” and this applies not only to military and naval installations but also to “other needful buildings.”}} {{smaller block|Several provisions in section 9 merit attention. As a concession to the slave trade—one of the essential compromises without which the Constitution never would have come into being at all—it was provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” shall not be prohibited prior to 1808. Then follow seven paragraphs of specific restrictions upon the powers of Congress. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended; no bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed; no direct tax shall be levied except according to the census of the people as a whole; no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported “from any State;” and—again emphasizing the separateness of the member States forming the Union—“no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue of the ports of one State over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.”}} {{smaller block|In section 10, the States undertook to restrict themselves. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; no State shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver legal tender; no State shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Yet even here, the prohibitions are not without qualification. Thus, the States reserved to themselves the right to levy tariffs on imports or exports sufficient to execute their inspection laws; and though the fact is often forgotten, the States even reserved to themselves the solemn power they had claimed under the Articles of Confederation, to “engage in war,” as States, if “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Ellender}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am very curious. I ask the Senator from South Carolina whether he knows how the House of Representatives arrived at the decision to provide for a maximum of 45 days and $300 in this instance. Why did not the House of Representatives decide to make the maximum number of days 50, and why did it not choose, as the maximum amount of fine, $250 or $500? Mr. THURMOND. I should like to answer the question the distinguished Senator asked, but I cannot do so. I was not consulted about this compromise. All I know about it is that I heard the majority leader made an announcement, following the taking of action in the House of Representatives. And then I read about it in the newspaper. But I had understood—and the distinguished Senator from California [Mr. {{sc|Knowland}}] can correct me about this if I am mistaken—that there was an effort on the part of the Republicans to provide for 60 days. But, since the Senate had not voted for any provision of this sort, but had voted only for a straight jury-trial provision, 45 days was selected as a compromise. That is my understanding of the matter. I pass on to the Senator from North Dakota only what I heard. But perhaps the Senator from California can answer the question. At any rate, even if 60 days had been originally proposed, and finally 45 days was decided on, the Senate got the worst end of the bargain. However, even if the provision had been for only 1 day, in my opinion the principle would be the same, because under the Constitution a citizen is entitled to a jury trial; and the Congress has no power to pass a law providing that a Federal judge or any other judge can deprive a citizen of a jury trial. However, under this proposal, a judge would be able, in two ways, to deprive a citizen of a jury trial. In the first place, the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to allow the person to have a jury trial in the first instance. If the judge decided that there could be a jury trial, the citizen would have a jury trial. If the judge decided that there would not be a jury trial, the judge himself would try the case. Next, if the judge decided to try the case himself, without a jury, the judge would proceed to try it. If, at the conclusion of the case, the judge were to determine that the punishment he would mete would be more than 45 days imprisonment or a fine of more than $300, the judge would then give the citizen another trial. In other words, this provision of the compromise would give the judge the option of trying the citizen in the first place, and it would give the judge the option of deciding how much punishment he would mete, and then the amount of punishment imposed would determine whether the citizen would receive still another trial. All those exceptions are entirely foreign to the Constitution. The Constitution provides that a man charged with the commission of a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That provision is as plain as can be. Any child in the fifth grade in school can read it and understand it; and there should not be any difficulty in understanding it. However, as I have understood in arriving at the compromise an attempt was made to get together on some provision; and the result was a monstrosity. It turned out to be an unconstitutional provision, in my opinion. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield again? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. What I should like to know is this: Is there any precedent, anywhere in the entire United States, for a measure such as this, by means of which a defendant could be tried by a judge, if the sentence imposed were imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or any other number of days, or the imposition of a fine of any size; but that if the term of imprisonment were longer or the amount of the fine were greater, there must be a jury trial? Can the Senator from South Carolina name any precedent at all for such a provision? Mr. THURMOND. I know of no place in the United States where a person charged with a crime does not have a jury trial. Even under the present criminal-contempt procedure, under existing law, if one is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no instance in any part of the United States, from Maine or the State of Washington on the north, to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or any of the other States in the southern part of the Nation, in which one who is charged with the commission of a crime does not have a trial by jury. It seems to me that in the conference, some one or more of the conferees should have raised the point, “This provision would be contrary to the Constitution, and we cannot include such a provision.” It seems to me some of the conferees would have suggested that the Constitution provides to the contrary. There is a decision which can be cited on that point; I think I have called it to the attention of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. The decision in that case holds that criminal contempt is a crime; and, since it is a crime, one charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. If there is to be passed a bill providing punishment for criminal contempt, it should provide for a jury trial. I know of no way to get around a jury trial in this matter because the Constitution has laid down the law. That is basic law. The Constitution can be amended. Congress can submit an amendment to it. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, and it can be amended so as to provide that a Federal judge in his discretion can give a man a jury trial. Then the compromise would be legal, and what it proposes would be effective. It would be. valid. As the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] said today, confirming my judgment, as it stands now it is not valid. I think it is unconstitutional. The Senator from Wyoming expressed his opinion likewise. We could amend the Constitution to provide for it. Congress could pass a law to provide that a Federal judge could punish a man for contempt, by so many days’ imprisonment, or by a fine of so many dollars. We could do that, but it has not been done. Until the Constitution is amended in the manner provided in the Constitution itself, we must abide by it. I know that many people in this country would like to get around the Constitution, and it looks as if they have been doing so. The Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution in some cases, and other branches of the Government at times have encroached upon the Constitution because there is divisional power between the Federal Government and the State governments. When we cross the line of the State government, as here, without constitutional authority, we violate the Constitution. The States entered into this pact, the Constitution, about which we are talking so much, and in this pact they delegated to the Union only certain things, and they are just as plain as they can be. They are listed in the Constitution. I should like to read to the distinguished Senator what the Constitution says on that point. Article I., section 1, provides: {{smaller block|All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.}} I will not take the time to go through all that. I will skip to the pertinent portions. Section 7 of article I. provides: {{smaller block|All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills.}} {{smaller block|Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds—}} I will skip to section 8. That is more pertinent. This is what the Congress has power to do. The powers are listed. {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.}} {{smaller block|To borrow money on credit of the United States;}} {{smaller block|To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.}} The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator suspend to receive a message from the President of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. Certainly. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Presiding Officer, the “Message from the President,” is dealt with, as is the “Executive Message Referred” and a “Message from the House.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to Senate amendments Nos. 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. I continue to read from article I., section 2: {{smaller block|To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.}} Congress would not have the power to pass bankruptcy laws, indeed Congress could not pass a law on any subject except for the power given to it by the Constitution. This provision I have read is the basis for our bankruptcy law. {{smaller block|To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.}} {{smaller block|To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States.}} {{smaller block|To establish post offices and post roads.}} That is your authority for the Federal Government to act in that field. {{smaller block|To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.}} {{smaller block|To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.}} That gives authority to Congress to establish certain courts of appeals and district courts. They are inferior tribunals, that is, inferior to the United States Supreme Court. {{smaller block|To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.}} {{smaller block|To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.}} {{smaller block|To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.}} But no appropriation of money for that purpose shall be for a longer term than 2 years. We cannot appropriate money for the Defense Establishment for more than 2 years because the Constitution limits it. If we should attempt to do that, we would go beyond the Constitution. I think that is a suggestion which may apply to foreign aid. If we should commit ourselves for 5 years or 10 years, I think that would be unconstitutional. But some of the defense items are classified under the term “foreign aid.” {{smaller block|To provide and maintain a Navy;}} {{smaller block|To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;}} {{smaller block|To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.}} {{smaller block|To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} I want to read that last part again. I wish to call attention to a point: {{smaller block|Reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} Do you not know, Mr. President, that if that section was not in the Constitution the Federal Government would be appointing the officers of the National Guard? That is the reason the Government cannot do it: the Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding 10 miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;}} For that reason the Federal Government cannot go to Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, or New Hampshire and buy a piece of land until the legislature passes an act approving such purchase. Under the provision the State must approve the transaction with respect to property within its borders, whether it owns the property or not, before the Federal Government can get it. Of course, the Government could condemn it; but if it followed the Constitution it would not be able to take it. The Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to year 1808, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding $10 for each person.}} {{smaller block|The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.}} Regardless of what a State wishes to do, the United States Constitution provides that a writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended unless—note the exception—“unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” {{smaller block|No bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed.}} {{smaller block|No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.}} We have the income-tax amendment to the Constitution. The 16th amendment to the Constitution provides that Congress can levy an income tax. That is the only authority in the Federal Government to levy an income tax. It does not inherently have that authority. The Federal Government can do only what the States gave it the authority to do when they entered into the compact in Philadelphia in 1787, and the amendments which have been adopted since then. Two years later, in 1789, the States adopted the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, for which there was so much sentiment. I do not believe the Constitution would have been ratified if the delegates to the convention had not promised the Bill of Rights would be submitted, and it was submitted and adopted 2 years after the convention, in 1789. {{smaller block|No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State.}} {{smaller block|No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.}} {{smaller block|No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.}} That is the only reason the States do not impose duties on some articles; otherwise they would probably do it, but under the Constitution they cannot do it. {{smaller block|No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.}} In other words, if I were an ambassador in London and the Queen of England wished to confer on me a title or wished to give me extra compensation for some reason I could not take the title or compensation unless Congress permitted it. Congress would have to pass an act to permit it. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 10. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ''ex post facto'' law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.}} In other words, that goes right down the line to support the point I make. So the Constitution provides exactly what the Federal Government can do. What hurts me is to see some distinguished Members of Congress, able men who believe in the division of powers between the Federal and State Governments—or I always thought they did—going along with the bill, because this is a bill that takes power away from the States and gives it to the Federal Government. The matter of elections is left up to each State. That power was not delegated. The qualifications for electors, the holding of elections, and all relevant matters were reserved to the States. There has been a movement, I understand to get the Congress to pass a bill eliminating the poll tax. I believe I told the Senate this morning, or this afternoon, that when I was Governor, I recommended that the poll tax be removed in my State and it was removed. But Congress may not pass a law to do it. It could do it, but it would be unconstitutional for the reason that there is a provision of the Constitution which states that the qualifications of electors shall be left to each State. Therefore, New Hampshire has qualifications and if the people of that State wish to make as a qualification for voting in that State the payment of a poll tax, they have a right to do so. The only way such a measure could be enacted legally, if it were going to be the law nationwide, would be for Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the poll tax. The Senator from Florida [Mr. {{sc|Holland}}] has now pending a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate the poll tax, amending the Constitution. To do that would be legal; it would be constitutional, and it would be proper. Personally I think it is better to leave to each State the power to fix the qualifications for voting of its citizens. In my State, as I have said, we have very low qualifications. We have heard much about people in my State not voting. I believe more people vote in my State than vote in New York, because New York has a much higher standard for voting. That State requires, I believe someone said, a high-school education. Someone else said it requires a grade-school education. It is certainly one of the two. In my State we require only that a man be able to read and write the Constitution, or that he own $300 worth of assessed property. So our requirements for voting are not stringent. They are not nearly as strict as they are in New York. I do not know about the requirements in the State of the Senator from North Dakota. A few years ago I was Governor of South Carolina. At that time a bill was pending in Congress to remove the poll tax on a nationwide basis. Congress was to do it. It would have been just as unconstitutional as this so-called compromise, whose proponents are trying to get it through the Congress, to deprive the people of a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. I thank my distinguished friend. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, I do not believe that American history is taught sufficiently in our high schools and colleges. I do not believe that a course in government is taught in our high schools and colleges. I come in contact with a great many intelligent people, people who have been educated, big financiers who have made a great deal of money, and many others; yet they do not know the fundamentals of the Constitution. It is because they have not studied it. I think the people of the country would be wise to study the Constitution. I think it is more important today than ever before for the people to study it and be able to delineate the powers of the Federal Government, and learn what the Federal Government has not the power to do. For example, the Congress has no power to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, because the qualifications of voters are left to each State. There are a great many things which Congress cannot do. Yet pressure is brought on Members of Congress, and they vote for certain measures anyway, because of the pressure. Why do Senators think this so-called compromise on the civil rights bill is being pressed? Why is there any civil rights bill before us? Why call this measure a right-to-vote bill? It is a perfect farce. It is not a right-to-vote bill. As I have stated, every State in the Union has statutes providing for the right to vote. The Federal Government has statutes providing for the right to vote. Why is such a bill as this being considered at this time? Because there are pressures on Members of Congress to do so. Some Members of Congress attempted to do so, even though they were doubtful of the constitutionality of the measure. The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] stated earlier in the day that he did not think the jury trial amendment which was put in the compromise bill in the House was constitutional. He said he would offer an amendment in January to correct it. I would rather see him vote against it now. If the bill should pass anyway, he could later offer his amendment. But if a bill is unconstitutional, I think it is better for us not to vote for it. I think Members of Congress must develop stamina, fortitude, and courage to resist pressures, and to stand by the Constitution. If we do not do so, as I stated earlier in the day, we shall keep whittling away the rights of the States until, after a while, the States will not have any rights. There will be a powerful Central Government—and it will be a powerful monster, too. Everything will radiate from Washington. I understand there is a movement on foot to establish a national police system. It is desired to convert the FBI, which is purely an investigative agency, into a law-enforcement agency. It is not a law-enforcement agency. Congress would not have the right to establish a national police agency, because under the Constitution the police power is reserved to the States. However, this investigative agency, the FBI, is in a different situation. It does not do police work. It apprehends criminals and works with the States, and cooperates in the execution of Federal laws, apprehending violators and bringing them to trial. But it is not a police agency. I am glad that Mr. J. Edgar Hoover said that he was opposed to a national police system. I am sorry to see that the President has been recommending a bill to provide Federal aid to education by way of construction of school buildings. I have been amazed at the fact that so many people are not acquainted with the fact that in the entire Federal Constitution there is not a sentence which contains the word “education.” The word “education” is not to be found in the United States Constitution. Therefore, since the States did not delegate the field of education to the Federal Government, the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in that field, unless we amend the Constitution and give the Federal Government jurisdiction in the field of education. We can amend the Constitution. We can follow one of the four methods of amending the Constitution, and give the Federal Government authority in that field, if that is the wise thing to do, which I do not think it is. However, that is the way it must be done. We have no authority to appropriate money for Federal aid to education. I know that the President’s intentions are good. However, at Columbia University several years ago he was against Federal aid to education. At any rate, it would be a great mistake for the Federal Government to enter the field of education. After we begin giving money for Federal aid to education by way of construction, the next demand from the powerful National Education Association, which I understand is building a tremendous office building in Washington, will be for a supplement to the salaries of teachers. The National Education Association will bring pressure on Members of Congress, as do other pressure organizations, and will say, “We need supplements to teachers’ salaries.” When we enact legislation for Federal aid to construct the buildings, and to provide supplements to teachers’ salaries, the Federal Government will be asked to pay a larger share of such salaries, and there will be more and more control to go with it. Before we know it, there will be Federal control of education, and the parents of the Nation will find their children studying books selected in Washington, instead of by the people in Delaware, North Dakota, and South Carolina. It is a great mistake for us not to follow the Constitution. If the Constitution needs amending, we can amend it. There is a provision for amending it, and it should be amended from time to time. There have been 22 amendments since it was adopted. In 1789 the first 10 amendments were adopted. Since then, 12 other amendments have been adopted. There are now 22 amendments to the Constitution. We were talking about the 16th amendment awhile ago, the income-tax amendment. I think most people feel that it is necessary, although the income tax appears high. Therefore there had to be a way to bring it about. Congress could not pass an income-tax law. It had no authority to do so until the Constitution had been amended to give Congress the power to do it. I think it is important to understand what we mean by the division of powers between the Federal Government and the State governments. We have a compound Republic. It is a compound Republic because there are Federal powers and State powers. There are three branches in the Federal Government, each of which checks on the others, with the exception of the Supreme Court. It has practically no check on it, and it has gone wild. There are three branches in the State governments. Each is supposed to be a check on the others. There are two checks on the Supreme Court. In the first place, we can impeach Supreme Court justices. However, the House must do the impeaching, and the Senate sits as a jury to hear the case. So, there is not much the Senate can do from that standpoint. The other one is that, under the Constitution, the appellate power of the Supreme Court can be controlled by the Congress, so that if Congress saw fit to pass a bill to limit the {{SIC|appelate|appellate}} power of the Supreme Court, Congress would have that right. The Constitution gives it the power to do that. Many persons think we have to amend the Constitution before we can do that. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Would the Senator say that would be a form of cruel and inhuman punishment to impose upon his colleagues? Mr. THURMOND. I would say it is cruel and inhuman punishment to impose on the citizens of America if we pass a bill without providing for a jury trial. (Manifestations of applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The galleries will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. I have received letters from a number of States, and I have been in California. I spent a week there in the fall of 1953. Starting at Long Beach and ending up at San Francisco, I made addresses all the way up the coast. I even went to Bakersfield and saw an old friend of the Senator from California there. I talked with many persons there. Unless they have had a change in sentiment, they think, just as the people of South Carolina do, that there should be jury trials. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does not the distinguished Senator also think that the people of California are interested in the 15th amendment to the Constitution, assuring all American citizens the right to vote? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the people of California are, and I am sure the people of South Carolina are. The people of South Carolina have done something about it, just as have the people of California. Last night, when the distinguished Senator from California was resting comfortably, I was speaking here and trying to rouse the people of America concerning the dangers of taking away their right of trial by jury. I placed in the {{sc|Record}} the statutes of California on that subject, and here is what they provide: {{smaller block|“California: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Elections Code Annotated—West’s—1955:}} {{smaller block|“Hindering public meeting: Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence, willfully hinders of prevents electors from assembling in public meetings for consideration of public questions (sec. 5004).}} {{smaller block|“Intimidating voter: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor, who, directly or indirectly, uses, or threatens to use, force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts, or threatens to inflict, any injury, damage, harm, or loss, or other forms of intimidation, to compel a person to vote, or refrain from voting, at any election (sec 1158).}} {{smaller block|“Interference with free exercise of elective franchise: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent means, impedes or prevents the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or who compels or induces a voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person (sec. 11582).}} {{smaller block|“Election officers: Any election officer who induces, or attempts to induce, any voter, either by menace or reward, to vote differently from the way he intended to vote, is guilty of a felony. (sec. 11583).}} {{smaller block|“Threat by employer: Any employer, whether a corporation or natural person, is guilty of a misdemeanor, if he encloses material in the pay envelopes containing threats, express or implied, intended to influence political opinions or action of employees, or who, within 90 days before an election, exhibits any placard, etc., in the place of employment, containing such threats (secs. 11584, 11585).}} {{smaller block|“Penalty: Any corporation guilty of intimidating a voter shall forfeit its charter (sec. 11586).}} {{smaller block|“Misdemeanor: Unless a different penalty is prescribed, a misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by fine of not over $500, or by both (Penal Code, sec. 19).}} {{smaller block|“Scope of penalty provisions: All penalty provisions listed above apply to both final elections and primary elections (sec. 11500).”}} Those are statutes of the State of California, and they are good statutes. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does the Senator not recognize the fact that under the voting rights bill which the Senate is attempting to pass but which the Senator from South Carolina has, for the moment, successfully prevented the Senate from passing, there is not a single individual who can be cited for either civil or criminal contempt if another American citizen is deprived of his right to vote under the Constitution? So, if the Senator is correct in his statement that no person is deprived of his right to vote in his State—and I feel certain that no American citizen is denied the right to vote in my State—neither California nor South Carolina would cite any public official or other person criminally unless they were depriving people of their right to vote under the laws of the State. Mr. THURMOND. I think some part of the Union could nullify the Constitution, just as I think some juries turn loose some defendants who are guilty. Some judges will make mistakes, too. But why do we not let the States alone and let them handle their own problems? I know the southern people and I know they are doing all they can for the Negro. I see my friend the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting next to the Senator from California. He feels that his State is doing all it can. I know the State of Mississippi, from which come my good friends, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} and Senator {{sc|Stennis}}, is doing all it can. We cannot change customs overnight. We have to let the local people work these things out. But Congress did not care to let the local people work these things out. All that is necessary is to have enforcement of the Federal statute. There is a Federal statute, to which I called attention today. For the benefit of Senators who were not here at the time, I may say that this statute provides that whoever intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, is guilty of a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment of 1 year. Mr. COOPER. Will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator know that there has never been any question, since the War Between the States, about the Negro population in Kentucky having the right to vote, and exercising that right? Mr. THURMOND. I have never heard any question about it. I simply say that in my State the Negroes are voting in large numbers. They claimed the credit for carrying the election for Stevenson in 1952, and at that time there was a very close election. They claimed they cast more than 80,000 votes, which was about 25 percent of the total. Their own newspaper contained that information. I have a clipping from that newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer. So they are certainly voting in my State, and I am sure they are voting in the Senator’s State. Is it not better to let the local people work out these problems, rather than to rush things on them, and try to change their customs overnight? As a matter of fact, if you gentlemen want to take any action, however, if the proponents of this bill are not satisfied—I do not think the distinguished Senator is dissatisfied—with the enforcement by the governors of the States of the Nation—and the governors are the chief executive officers of the States and are responsible for enforcing the law—or if the Federal Government is not satisfied with the enforcement being given by the governors to the voting laws of the States to protect the rights of people to vote, then why do they not enforce the Federal statute, which is already on the books? Mr. COOPER. Because of the Senator’s kind reference, I should like to ask a question as follows: Does the Senator know that in Kentucky all citizens, including all Negroes, have had, since the War Between the States, the right to vote, have exercised that right, and that it has never been questioned? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is the case, because I have heard that they vote there. They are voting in the South in larger numbers than ever before. No persons in my State are deprived of the right to vote. If they are qualified to vote, they are allowed to vote. Of course, no man who is not qualified ought to be allowed to vote. New York State has a much higher standard, as I said a while ago, than we have. If a person can merely read or write in my State, he can vote. In New York one has to be a high-school graduate, I believe, or at least has to meet a literacy test. So we are not nearly so strict in South Carolina as they are in New York. The Senator comes from a border State. Kentucky is a great State. I suggest to the Senator, however, since he is from a border State that went in part with the North and in part with the South, that the Senator stick with the South. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I will ask the Senator if it is not true that Kentucky had to make that choice almost a hundred years ago and they chose to stick with the Union? Mr. THURMOD. Mr. President, if there is any Member in the Senate who is not satisfied with the voting protection given by the governors and the other officials of the States of the Nation, again I say that all they have to do is to call upon the Justice Department to enforce section 594. It is now against the Federal law to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or to attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any voter, in any way, shape, or form. That is the Federal statute which is on the books now. Why not enforce that statute? What is the idea of coming here with a right-to-vote bill? That is a big, high-sounding word that does not mean anything. If we pass this bill, we will pass an unconstitutional bill. It will be all right if the Justice Department will enforce section 594. I believe they are enforcing it. Is there anyone that thinks they are not enforcing this law? Is there anyone who thinks the present administration is not enforcing section 594? If the Justice Department are enforcing this law, they are protecting people in this matter now. If they are not enforcing this law, let them enforce it, and that will protect them. Either the Justice Department are not enforcing this law, if they have had complaints, or they have not had any complaints. Has the Justice Department had complaints, such as we have been hearing about, that many people have been denied the right to vote? We hear that in the South many people are denied the right to vote. What is there now; what has there been in the past 5 years to keep the Attorney General from going to any Southern State to enforce this statute? It is a Federal statute. The Attorney General not only has the right to enforce it, but he has the duty. If there have been any complaints about people in the South not voting, I have not heard of them. But if there have been any complaints about them not voting, then the Justice Department ought to do something about it. If the Justice Department has taken no action to enforce this statute, it shows one of two things: The Department has not had anybody objecting, or, if there were objections, it ignored them and did not do its duty by enforcing the statute. The point is there is a Federal statute now, so why pass another bill? All the Congress needs to do is to follow the Constitution. If we will follow the line of demarcation in the Constitution between the powers delegated to the Federal Government and the powers reserved to the States, we will not get into difficulties about all these different things. If a bill were introduced to repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, there would not be any question but that the Congress would not consider it because it would be unconstitutional. The qualifications of voting are reserved to the States. Why can we not look at it from that viewpoint and not try to say whether it is a good bill or a bad bill? On the right to vote bill, should there be any question whether we are going to accept this compromise? I do not think there should be any question at all, because the Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The court decision which I have before me holds that criminal contempt is a crime. Mr. President— The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). The Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I will proceed now, if there are no further questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina has the floor. Mr. THURMOND. Article III., defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield to the able Senator for a question. Mr. LANGER. Is it correct that under Federal statute 594 there can be imposed a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. The compromise right to vote bill cuts it down to a fine of $300 and 45 days in jail. If the judge determines that the defendant ought to suffer a greater penalty than that, the case has to go to a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator, I will say if this bill is passed, of course I am expecting it to be held unconstitutional as soon as it can be tested. But until that is done, they will have a choice. There could be a prosecution under the Federal statute, which is section 594: or such a person could be taken before a Federal judge, and the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to try the case. If the judge decided he was in a hurry to take a vacation trip, he could simply say, “I will try the case myself.” Then, under the provisions of the compromise measure, the judge would try the case; and the person being tried could not complain. Let me ask the Senator from North Dakota what he would do. Suppose he were to find himself in such a situation; and suppose the judge were to say to him, “Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I will not give you a jury trial. I will try you myself”—and then the judge would rear back on his haunches and would grin. What would the Senator from North Dakota do under those circumstances? There would be nothing he could do, because the judge would have a right to try him under the provisions of the compromise measure which has come to us from the House of Representatives. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Inasmuch as section 594 is on the statute books, why is not this right-to-vote bill entirely superfluous? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has put his finger on exactly what I have been discussing in the Senate for—let me see, Mr. President, how long has it been? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-one hours. Mr. THURMOND. No; Mr. President, it has been 22 hours and 10 minutes. [Laughter.] For 22 hours and 10 minutes I have been trying to emphasize that point—namely, why is this compromise necessary, when a Federal statute on this subject is already on the statute books? It provides for a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail. If the Department of Justice is interested in the persons who are alleged to have been deprived of the right to vote—regardless of whether they are whites, Negroes, or others—why does not the Department of Justice take action to enforce section 594 and thus protect the right to vote? The Department of Justice can do that under section 594. That is up to the Department of Justice. I do not know what the Department will do; that is up to the Department of Justice. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. During the last 5 years, has anyone been arrested under section 594? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota, I wish to say that I have never heard that anyone in my State has been tried under that statute. So there is no use in having the representatives of the Department of Justice come to South Carolina and say that people there are deprived of the right to vote, because if anyone representing the Department of Justice does come to South Carolina and does make such a statement, I will tell him that it is his own fault, for those in the Department of Justice have failed to do their duty; they have a law under which they can punish such persons, but they have not done so. Either no one in South Carolina is deprived of the right to vote, or else the Department of Justice has failed to do its duty. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. I get the point very clearly. Mr. THURMOND. Let me ask whether there are any more questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield the floor? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I shall proceed. I am just trying to find a section of the Constitution to which I wish to refer. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, while the Senator from South Carolina is doing that, will he yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Can the Senator from South Carolina tell the Senate how many years ago section 594 was enacted into law? Mr. THURMOND. I believe it was in 1939. Mr. LANGER. Do I correctly understand that since that time, there has been no prosecution under that provision of law? Is that true, so far as the Senator from South Carolina knows? Mr. THURMOND. I have not heard of a single prosecution in South Carolina under that statute. Mr. LANGER. Has the Senator heard of one in any other State? Mr. THURMOND. If there has been one, I have not heard of it. I would not say there has not been one in some other State, but I do not know of a case of that sort which has been tried in the Federal courts. Some have been tried in the State courts; we are enforcing our State laws. But I have not heard of a case in which anyone has been tried under this Federal statute—which carries with it a heavy penalty, namely, a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment in jail for 1 year. I have never heard of anyone who has been tried under that law. But, Mr. President, of course I am not surprised at that, because in South Carolina, everyone who wishes to register to vote and to vote, does register and does vote, if he is qualified. So I do not think it likely that there would be any cases of that sort in South Carolina. Mr. President, there have been insinuations to the effect that the Southern States are denying some people the right to vote. I think insinuations about any States should stop—whether that be Northern States, Southern States, Eastern States, or Western States. All of us are Americans. We have a great country. In all the wars the United States has ever fought, the United States has had brave soldiers from all sections of the country. It is very bad to have people in one section of the country try to snipe at people in another section of the country. That is the very thing George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address. Mr. LANGER. Yes, I am familiar with that admonition by George Washington. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, if anyone in the South has been intimidated or coerced or threatened with regard to voting—if anyone in any Southern State has been treated in that way—the district attorney in the State can take action any day he wishes to; and if the Department of Justice does not do it, the Department is failing to perform its duty with respect to such violations; or else there are no violations of that sort. So evidently there have not been any violations of that sort in the State of South Carolina, or else no one has complained about them. As a matter of fact, I am quite sure that there have not been any violations of that sort in my State, because, as I have said, anyone in South Carolina who wishes to vote, and who is qualified to vote, and who registers, can vote. Mr. President, I should like to read what George Washington said. Sometimes, Mr. President, when I see the able Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting in his seat in this Chamber—so able a judge and lawyer, and a fine soldier in World War II.; and when I see in the Chamber the distinguished senior Senator from Michigan [Mr. {{sc|Potter}}], who lost both of his legs in that war; and when I see my other fellow veterans who are distinguished Members of this body or are distinguished Members of the House of Representatives, and then when I see matters of a sectional nature brought up here, and when one group wishes to try to have enacted into law a measure aimed at punishing another section of the country, it makes my heart ache. My colleagues who are veterans did not feel that way when they were serving in the Armed Forces overseas; they did not feel that way when they were in uniform. If the Members of Congress from various sections of the United States would just accord to all the other States the same respect that they expect to have accorded to their own States I am sure that we would not be having this trouble; and then I would not have been speaking here on this subject for more than 22 hours in an effort to arouse the American people. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For 22 hours and 10 minutes. Mr. THURMOND. No, Mr. President, for 22 hours and 20 minutes. [Laughter.] I would not be trying to arouse the American people if it were not necessary. But why should the North want to pick on those of us who live in the South? Why do the people in New York want to pick on us? Why do the people in New Jersey want to pick on us? Or why do the people of any other section of the country want to pick on us? We think we are fairly good people. We think we are patriotic. The Members of Congress from the Southern States want to work together with all the other Members of Congress. Mr. President, I want to extend every courtesy to every other Member of Congress, and I want to see those who live in any particular section of the country extend to the rest of the people of the country the same courtesy that they expect to have extended to themselves. But, Mr. President, I can tell you this: This right-to-vote bill—and I say this because I know something about its history—is aimed at the South. It is aimed at the South; and it hurts me to see that done, because South Carolina is not guilty, and this bill should not be enacted. I do not believe the other Southern States are guilty. The Southern States have done their part in every way. As I have said, the people of the Southern States have fought for their country and have served in public office in every way. They have been honorable people. Yet, in order to try to win the votes of certain minority blocs, some pressure groups are willing to punish us, to put us under the heel, and to grind and grind and grind us. I am getting tired of it. (Manifestations of applause by the occupants of the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The doorkeepers must keep the galleries in order. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. COOPER. A minute ago the Senator spoke very generously of our association and friendship during World War II. I know that he did not mean to intimate that there was any intention upon the part of the Senator from Kentucky, in his vote on the civil-rights bill, to show any bias or prejudice toward his own people in the South. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that there was not, Senator. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator remember? Mr. THURMOND. I remember, and I say to the Senator from Kentucky he is one of the finest and most gracious gentlemen I have known. The Senator from Kentucky is not one of those ardent proponents of the bill who is trying to ram the bill home. I do not know how he is going to vote, but he is a good constitutional lawyer. I hope he will not vote for it. I hope he will think over the jury trial issue and not vote for it. He has not been one of those who has been baiting the South. Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Kentucky is a good friend of the Senator from South Carolina, but the Senator from Kentucky will vote for civil rights. He intends to vote for the bill this evening or at some later time. In the debate he said again and again that he believes in the juries in the South, and that the people of the South would respect the law and would follow the law. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina knows that the Senator from Kentucky said that. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure he did say that. The only thing is that if the Senator feels that the South obeys the law, I do not understand why he should want to have this bill passed. I will get on with what George Washington said. Mr. President, George Washington, in his Farewell Address, used his strongest language against those who would divide our country; he urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern—Atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations: they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} That was George Washington speaking. George Washington wanted to see the people from the North to the South, and to the East and the West, bound together with a fraternal feeling. He wanted a fraternal attitude manifested. Why should we not manifest a fraternal attitude on these matters? Why should we not try to help another section, and not sponsor legislation which is aimed at any particular section, merely to try to get votes to win an election? I have said, and I repeat, that since every State in the United States from Alabama to Wyoming has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and since the Federal Government has a statute on its books to protect the right to vote, there is no need for this bill. I say, and I repeat, that I think the bill is purely political, and I think that both parties have been trying to grab the ball to see who could get the spotlight for the elections coming up in 1958. {{smaller block|Article III, defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. We may note, for example, two further uses of the plural: First, the judicial power is to extend “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.” Second, treason against the United States is to consist “only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies.” Because the authority of the Court will be considered at length in a later chapter, it will suffice here merely to point out that nowhere in article III is the Court given jurisdiction over controversies between a State and the United States. That proposal was specifically advanced during the convention, and specifically rejected.}} {{smaller block|Every section—indeed, every paragraph—of article IV touches upon the Federal nature of the Union. Full faith and credit are to be given in each State, to the acts and judicial proceedings of every other State. If this were not a Federal Union, the provision would be nonsense. Beyond this, the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. A person charged in any State with crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall be delivered upon demand to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime.}} {{smaller block|Then comes the provision that Northern States were to flout over a period of 30 years: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.”}} {{smaller block|Finally, we may note in article IV the provision for admitting new States into this Union (not this Nation, but this Union): “No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.”}} {{smaller block|Article V had best be quoted in full. It has not been changed by so much as an apostrophe in the years since it came from Philadelphia in September of 1787. It still fixes and defines the sovereign power:}} {{smaller block|Pause for a moment over this article of the Constitution. We are dealing here with Taylor’s “will to enact” and “power to execute;” we are dealing with Marshall’s “power to make and unmake.” It was plainly envisioned by the framers that their work would require amendment through the years. “That useful alterations will be suggested by experience, could not but be foreseen,” Madison was to write. There was a double aim in the provision, even a triple aim. {{SIC|Aricle|Article}} V, Madison tells us, was intended, first, to guard equally against too-easy amendment on the one hand and too-difficult amendment on the other. It was drafted, secondly, to permit amendments to originate both with the Federal and with the State Governments. But it was intended, finally, to leave the ultimate decision upon changing the Constitution to the sovereign States themselves—not to the people as a mass, nor even to a bare majority of the States as such. It was recognized that the great, overriding principle of protection for minorities should apply here as bindingly as it was to apply elsewhere. If one-fourth of the States plus one should object to a change in the Constitution—even if that change were desired by three-fourths minus one (and even if this larger fraction should include the great bulk of the total population)—the change could not be engrafted to the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI is brief. Its first provision covers debts and engagements entered into under the Articles of Confederation and continues these obligations under the proposed new Constitution; its third provision prohibits any religious test as a qualification for public office and requires an oath to support the Constitution of all public officers, both State and Federal.}} {{smaller block|It is the second provision that merits brief attention in this summary review:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”}} {{smaller block|Let us go back: What is to be supreme? Three things. First, “this Constitution.” Secondly, “laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof.” Third, treaties made “under the authority of the United States.” That is all. Not Executive orders of the President. Not even judgments of the Supreme Court. The Constitution, the laws made in pursuance thereof, the treaties.}} {{smaller block|In passing, note the phrase “law of the land.” It stems originally from the Magna Carta; but as it appears in the Constitution, “law of the land” was merely a substitution, proposed by the committee on style, for “law of the several States and their citizens and inhabitants.” The object was to extend this new supreme law to Territories as well as to the States. And this phrase, “law of the land,” is as close as the Constitution ever comes to suggesting a “nation.” Actually the word “nation” or the word “national” never appears in the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The aim, we will recall, was to form “a more perfect Union.” Representatives and taxes were to be apportioned among the several States which may be included “within this Union.” The militia may be called forth to execute “the laws of the Union.” The President is to provide Congress with information on the “state of the Union.” New States are to be admitted “into this Union.” The guaranty of a republican form of government goes “to every State in this Union.” But never, at any point, are the United States described, in the Constitution, as comprising a “nation.”}} {{smaller block|This is not to contend, of course, that ours is not a Nation, or that the Federal Government does not operate nationally. It is only to suggest that the deliberate terms of the Constitution speak for themselves, and should be heeded: Our country is, first and foremost, originally and still, a Union of States. And when we speak of the law of the land, it should be kept steadily in mind that the land is a Federal Union, in which each of the States stands coequal with every other State. The Constitution is supreme not only in its authority over each State, but also in its protection over each State. And each State, each respective State, is entitled to rely upon the Constitution as embodying supreme law that all other States must adhere to with equal fidelity, like it or not, until the Constitution be changed by the States themselves.}} {{smaller block|Note, too, the careful qualification that defines laws enacted by the Congress. Just any laws of the United States are not enough: Laws, to be binding, must be laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Any attempted statutes that invade the residuary authority of the States, Hamilton tells us, “will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” And he adds, at another point, that:}} {{smaller block|“There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”}} {{smaller block|Surely, it may be urged that precisely the same standard must be applied to other branches of the Federal Government—the executive and judicial no less than the legislative. By extension, thus, judgments of the Court, to be supreme law of the land, must be made pursuant to the Constitution. A judgment of the Court, so violative of the clear terms and understandings of the Constitution as to invade the residuary authority of the States, must also be regarded as a usurpation, and should deserve to be treated as such. The argument will be pursued at greater length hereafter.}} {{smaller block|Finally, this brief examination of the Constitution from the standpoint of the States may be concluded with a second look at article VII. It should be read carefully; for this is the clause that binds: “The ratification of the conventions of 9 States”—not, again, the approval of a majority of the people in a popular referendum, but the ratification of 9 States—“shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, on September 17, the Convention concluded its work. George Washington, as President of the Convention, transmitted the document to the Congress. A prophetic sentence appeared in his letter, as he mentioned the compromises necessary for the surrender of sovereign powers: “It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved.” The States had done the best they could through their delegates. Eager to consolidate their Union, each State had been disposed “to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected.” They launched the ship.}} {{smaller block|“Well, Doctor,” said the lady to Mr. Franklin, “what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”}} {{smaller block|“A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”}} It is pretty hard to keep when bills are introduced to violate the Constitution by chipping off and whittling away the rights of the States in an effort, it seems, to reduce them to colonial status. Continuing the quotation from the Kilpatrick book: {{c|{{x-smaller|6. THE PROPHETIC MR. HENRY}}}} {{smaller block|For the States’ understanding of what the Constitution was to mean to them, as States, we can look not only to the internal evidence of the Constitution itself, but to the debates in the ratifying conventions and to some of the contemporary criticism, notably in the Federalist papers. We can look, also, to some of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court from time to time, and to the writings of scholars of our own day.}} {{smaller block|The evidence is overwhelming. By written compact, solemnly ratified, the States agreed mutually to delegate certain of their sovereign powers to a Federal Government. They enumerated these powers. All other powers they reserved to themselves, and these reserved powers did not need to be enumerated: the reserved powers constituted an inherent powers of sovereign States not specifically abridged.}} {{smaller block|So plain was this understanding that the feeling most frequently encountered, in reading comments of the period, is one of incredulity that anyone should doubt it.}} {{smaller block|“The proposed constitution,” said Hamilton, “so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, said Madison:}} {{smaller block|“It is to be remembered that the General Government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its {{SIC|jursidiction|jurisdiction}} is limited to certain enumerated objects which concern all the members of the Republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments, which can extend their care to all other objects which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity.”}} {{smaller block|Neither Hamilton nor Madison could quite imagine the Federal Government ever seriously encroaching upon the States.}} {{smaller block|“Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require,” said Hamilton, “I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons intrusted with the administration of the General Government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository.”}} {{smaller block|Then he added, with a singular absence of prophecy:}} {{smaller block|“The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things, in short, which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected. * * *}} {{smaller block|“It will always be far more easy for the State governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the National Government to encroach upon the State authorities.”}} That is where he was wrong. In other words, Hamilton had no idea that the Federal Government would ever attempt to encroach on the rights of the states. In his day it looked to him as if it would be easier for the States to encroach on the rights of the Federal Government than for the Federal Government to encroach on the rights of the States. But in recent years do-gooders, welfare-staters, left-wingers, and other pressure groups are trying to transform this Government. They are trying to make of it a national government. It is not a national government; it is a Federal Government. The States came together in a federation and formed this Government. That is the conception which I hope we can get over to the people of the Nation, that our Government is not a national government; it is a Federal Government made by the States coming together and forming a federation and signing the compact which became the Constitution. Therefore we have a Federal Government, not a national government. I hope we shall never have a national government. We must stop the Federal usurpation that is now going on and has been going on for some years. {{smaller block|Madison, also, imagined that the Federal Government would “be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments.” For his part, Hamilton thought it more probable that the States would encroach upon the Federal Government, and he imagined that in such contests the State governments, because they “will commonly possess most influence” over the people, would dominate Federal agencies “to the disadvantage of the Union.” However, all such conjectures Hamilton viewed as “extremely vague and fallible.” He preferred to assume that the people “will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium between the general and the State governments.”}} {{smaller block|In No. 45, Madison treated at considerable length the widespread apprehension that the States would be obliterated. Some of his comments have been outdated; what he has to say about the election of Senators, for example, unhappily has been superseded by the misfortune of the 17th amendment. Some of his other observations, dealing with functions of what was to become the Bureau of Internal Revenue, may occasion some wary reflection on the lengths by which even a Madison could miss his guess. But as contemporary evidence of the role guaranteed to the States, No. 45 justifies quotation at some length:}} {{smaller block|“The State governments will have the advantage of the Federal Government, whet her we compare them in respect to the immediate dependence of the one on the other; to the weight of personal influence which each side will possess; to the powers respectively vested in them to the predilection and probable support of the people; to the disposition and faculty of resisting and frustrating the measures of each other.}} {{smaller block|“The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the Federal Government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. Even the House of Representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the State legislatures. Thus, each of the principal branches of the Federal Government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing toward them. On the other side, the component parts of the State governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the Federal Government, and very little, if at all, to the local influence of its members.}} {{smaller block|“The number of individuals employed under the Constitution of the United States will be much smaller than the number employed under the particular States. There will consequently be less of personal influence on the side or the former than of the latter. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments of 13 and more States, the justices of peace, officers of militia, ministerial officers of justice, with all the county, corporation, and town officers, for 3 millions and more of people, intermixed, and having particular acquaintance with every class and circle of people, must exceed, beyond all proportion, both in number and influence, those of every description who will be employed in the administration of the Federal system. Compare the members of the three great departments of the 13 States, excluding from the judiciary department the justices of peace, with the members of the corresponding departments of the single government of the Union; compare the militia officers of 3 millions of people with the military and marine officers of any establishment which is within the compass of probability, or, I may add, of possibility, and in this view alone, we may pronounce the advantage of the States to be decisive.}} {{smaller block|“If the Federal Government is to have collectors of revenue, the State governments will have theirs also. And as those of the former will be principally on the seacoast, and not very numerous, whilst those of the latter will be spread over the face of the country, and will be very numerous, the advantage in this view also lies on the same side. It is true, that the confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union·, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.}} {{smaller block|“The operations of the Federal Government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the Federal Government. The more adequate, indeed, the Federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.}} {{smaller block|“If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy and candor, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of new powers to the union, than in the invigoration of its original powers. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the Articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them.”}} {{smaller block|Even John Marshall, who did more than any man in our history to aggrandize the Federal Government and to weaken the States, never doubted the basic structure of divided powers. Consider, briefly, his comment in the famed case of ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland''. The case arose when Congress established the Bank of the United States, and Maryland undertook to levy a tax upon the bank’s Baltimore branch; James McCulloch, the cashier, refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued.}} {{smaller block|The legal questions were two: Did Congress have power to incorporate the bank, and secondly, did Maryland have power to tax it? Marshall answered the first one “Yes,” the second, “No.” With the bulk of his reasoning, strict constructionists and apostles of States rights will disagree: Marshall’s sophisticated mind did not boggle at stretching “necessary” to mean “convenient.” In considering the actual act of ratification by which the Union was formed, Marshall was not much impressed by the fact, which he could not escape, that the people met in State conventions. “Where else should they have assembled?” he asked. But even here, a couple of sentences merit quotation as evidence from the States greatest detractor:}} {{smaller block|“It is true, [the people] assembled in their several States—and where else should they have assembled? No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall went on in his opinion to confuse “States” and “State governments,” thus setting up a convenient strawman to batter down. No one ever had contended that the Constitution was ratified by State governments, but Marshall, with a glittering display of intellectual swordsmanship, neatly skewered the nonexistent objection. Then he went on to say:}} {{smaller block|“This Government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was pending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted. But the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising, and will probably continue to arise, as long as our system shall exist.”}} {{smaller block|True enough, the question of “the extent of powers” does continue to arise to this day, though the doctrines of Marshall have so pervaded public thinking that it often is forgotten that the Federal Government has any limitations whatever. But the separateness of the States and the nature of their delegated powers were clearly recognized when the Constitution was created. The prophets who foresaw the trend toward consolidation—notably Patrick Henry and George Mason—were told they were old women, seeing ghosts.}} {{smaller block|Consider, if you will, the debate on ratification in Virginia. The transcript offers some absorbing reading. If the clash of a Henry and a Mason with a Pendleton and a Madison does not prompt reflection upon subsequent corruption of the Constitution, at the very least their battle must lead to regrets at the decline in the quality of today’s legislative debates. There were giants in those days. This was, to paraphrase Marshall, a Constitution they were debating. What was said of the relationship of the States and the Federal Government?}} {{smaller block|Go back in time. This was a sultry summer in Richmond. At least twice the brief convention was interrupted by thunder storms so severe the delegates were forced to recess. Tempers flared sharply. At one point Edmund Randolph, infuriated with Patrick Henry, was prepared to let their friendship “fall like Lucifer, never to rise again.” They began on Monday, June 2; they adjourned ''sine die'' on Friday, June 27. Into those 4 weeks, the Virginians of 1788 packed a world of profound reflection upon the meaning and intention of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Edmund Pendleton served as president of the Virginia convention. He was a remarkable man: lawyer, scholar, statesman, thinker. In advocating ratification, Pendleton was joined by James Madison, John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, and Light Horse Harry Lee. They carried the day against Patrick Henry and George Mason, as leading opponents of the proposition.}} {{smaller block|The convention scarcely had begun before Henry established the broad spread of argument. He did not propose to abide by any parliamentary decision to debate one clause at a time. Before the convention in Philadelphia the previous summer, said Henry, a general peace and a universal tranquillity had prevailed. Now he was “extremely uneasy at the proposed change of government.” He swept the room with a cold eye: “Be extremely cautious, watchful, jealous of your liberty. Instead of securing your rights, you may lose them forever.”}} {{smaller block|George Mason came to his side. He charged that the new Constitution would create “a national government, and no longer a confederation.” He especially denounced the authority proposed in the general government to levy direct taxes. This power, being at the discretion of Congress and unconfined, “and without any kind of control, must carry everything before it.” “The idea of a consolidated government,” he said, “is totally subversive of every principle which has hitherto governed us. This power is calculated to annihilate totally the State governments. * * * These two concurrent powers cannot exist long together; the one will destroy the other; the general government, being paramount to and in every respect more powerful than the State governments, the latter must give way to the former.”}} {{smaller block|Then Mason voiced the argument that is as applicable in the mid-20th century as it was toward the end of the 18th:}} {{smaller block|“Is it to be supposed that one national government will suit so extensive a country, embracing so many climates, and containing inhabitants so very different in manners, habits, and customs? It is ascertained, by history, that there never was a government over a very extensive country without destroying the liberties of the people. * * * Popular governments can only exist in small territories.”}} {{smaller block|On Thursday, June 5, Pendleton undertook to respond to Henry and to Mason. Was the proposed government, he inquired, truly a consolidated government? Of course not. “If this be such a government, I will confess, with my worthy friend, that it is inadmissible. * * *” The proposed Federal Government, he said, “extends to the general purposes of the Union. It does not intermeddle with the local, particular affairs of the States. * * * It is the interest of the Federal to preserve the State governments; upon the latter the existence of the former depends. * * * I wonder how any gentleman, reflecting on the subject, could have conceived an idea of the possibility of the latter.”}} {{smaller block|Henry conceived it. He conceived it very clearly. The proposed Constitution, he felt, was “extremely pernicious, impolitic and dangerous.” He saw no jeopardy to the people in the Articles of Confederation; he saw great jeopardy in this new Constitution. And he had this to say:}} {{smaller block|“We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation. We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: By that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, ts about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism.”}} {{smaller block|And note this prophetic observation:}} {{smaller block|“There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?”}} {{smaller block|What indeed? What have these ideal checks and balances availed the States in the 20th century? Henry saw the empty prospect: “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints toward monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American?”}} {{smaller block|It was monarchy, ''per se'', that Henry foresaw. And it was despotism at the hands of a general government that he feared.}} {{smaller block|“What are your checks in this Government?” he kept asking.}} {{smaller block|No one ever answered him accurately, though half a dozen members of the Convention undertook to refute Henry and to allay his apprehensions. Randolph, replying to the objection that the country soon would be too large for effective government from the capital, commented that “no extent on earth seems to me too great,” but he added, “provided the laws be wisely made and executed.” It has proved to be a large qualification.}} {{smaller block|Madison also responded to Henry’s general objection that the liberty of the people was in danger: “Since the general civilization of mankind,” he said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.”}} {{smaller block|Follow closely what Madison had to say next. He is expounding the relationship of the State and Federal Governments as he, above all men, understood it:}} {{smaller block|“Give me leave to say something of the nature of the Government. * * * There are a number of opinions; but the principal question is, whether it be a federal or consolidated government. In order to judge properly of the question before us, we must consider it minutely in its principal parts. I conceive myself that it is of a mixed nature; it is in a manner unprecedented; we cannot find one express example in the experience of the world. It stands by itself. In some respects it is a government of a federal nature; in others it is of a consolidated nature. * * * Who are parties to it?”}} {{smaller block|Note this, especially; it was quoted earlier, but it bears repetition:}} {{smaller block|“The people—but not the people as composing one great body; but the people as composing 13 sovereignties.”}} {{smaller block|Francis Corbin, one of the ablest political students of his time, then joined Madison, in soothing the growing fear that the Federal Government might one day absorb the State Governments. “The powers of the General Government,” he said, “are only of a general nature, and their object is to protect, defend, and strengthen the United States; but the internal administration of government is left to the State legisiatures, who exclusively retain such powers as will give the States the advantages of small republics, without the danger commonly attendant on the weakness of such governments.”}} {{smaller block|Henry, undaunted, straightened his red wig and returned to the debate. “That government is no more than a choice among evils,” he remarked, “is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages.” He could not accept the idea that this new government would be “a mighty benefit to us.”}} {{smaller block|“Sir, I am made of so incredulous materials, that assertions and declarations do not satisfy me. I must be convinced, sir. I shall retain my infidelity on that subject till I see our liberties secured in a manner perfectly satisfactory to my understanding.”}} {{smaller block|This exchange occurred on Friday, June 16. The following Monday, Henry renewed his assault:}} {{smaller block|“A number of characters, of the greatest eminence in this country, object to this government for its consolidating tendency. This is not imaginary. It is a formidable reality. If consolidation proves to be as mischievous to this country as it has been to other countries, what will the poor inhabitants of this country do? This government will operate like an ambuscade. It will destroy the State governments, and swallow the liberties of the people, without giving previous notice.”}} {{smaller block|Madison came back with fresh replies and new remonstrances. The States were safely protected, he assured the Virginia convention. And renewing the arguments he had advanced in the Federalist, “There will be an irresistible bias toward the State governments.” It was utterly improbable—almost impossible—that the Federal Government ever would encroach upon the States. “The means of influence consist in having the disposal of gifts and emoluments, and in the number of persons employed by and dependent upon a government. Will any gentleman compare the number of persons which will be employed in the General Government with the number of those which will be in the State governments? The number of dependents upon the State governments will be infinitely greater than those on the General Government. I may say, with truth, that there never was a more economical government in any age or country, nor which will require fewer hands, or give less influence.”}} {{smaller block|Pendleton again gained the floor to tackle Henry’s objection. We are told, he said, “that there will be a war between the two bodies equally our representatives, and that the State government will be destroyed, and consolidated into the General Government. I stated before, that this could not be so. The two governments act in different manners, and for different purposes—the General Government in great national concerns, in which we are interested in common with other members of the Union; the State legislature in our mere local concerns. * * * Our dearest rights—life, liberty and property—as Virginians, are still in the hands of our State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Patrick Henry remained unconvinced. His opinion and Madison’s were “diametrically opposite.” The mild-mannered Madison said the States would prevail. Henry, a dramatic and eloquent speaker, feared the Federal Government would prevail. Bring forth the Federal allurements, he cried, “and compare them with the poor, contemptible things that the State legislatures can bring forth. * * * There are rich, fat, Federal emoluments. Your rich, smug, fine, fat, Federal officers—the number of collectors of taxes and excises—will outnumber anything from the States. Who can cope with the excise man and the tax men?”}} {{smaller block|Henry did not imagine that the dual governments could be kept each within its proper orbit. “I assert that there is danger of interference,” he remarked, “because no line is drawn between the powers of the two governments, in many instances; and where there is a line, there is no check to prevent the one from encroaching upon the powers of the other. I therefore contend that they must interfere, and that this interference must subvert the State government as being less powerful. Unless your government have checks, it must inevitably terminate in the destruction of your privileges.”}} {{smaller block|William Grayson, burly veteran of the Revolution, was another member of the Virginia convention who clearly perceived the absence of effective checks and balances. “Power ought to have such checks and limitations,” he said, “as to prevent bad men from abusing it. It ought to be granted on a supposition that men will be bad; for it may eventually be so.”}} {{smaller block|Grayson was here discussing his apprehensions toward the powers vested by article III in the Supreme Court of the United States. “This Court,” he protested, “has more power than any court under heaven.” The Court’s appellate jurisdiction, especially, aroused his alarm: “What has it in view, unless to subvert the State governments?”}} Mr. President, only in the past few months this Court rendered a decision which struck down the sedition statutes in 48 States and two Territories, merely because the Federal Government had a statute on sedition. The Supreme Court held that because of that fact, the Federal Government had preempted the whole field, and struck down the State statutes on sedition. Sedition means overthrowing the Government. That is the practical effect of it. Steve Nelson, in Pennsylvania, was convicted under Pennsylvania law. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, and the Court turned him loose, on the ground that when the Federal sedition statute was enacted, that statute preempted the field. Thus it struck down all the State statutes on the subject. Forty-two States and two Territories had statutes on the subject. Judge Howard Smith, in the House, who was the author of the bill, said there was no such intention on his part when he introduced the bill. There was even a provision in the bill that the State laws should not be affected. Yet the Supreme Court struck down the sedition statutes in 42 States and two Territories. Nine men overruled the legislatures of 42 States, and would have overruled the supreme courts in 42 States if their statutes had been tested. In New York, a man named Slochower was employed by the City College of New York. The charter of the City College provides that if any schoolteacher takes refuge behind the fifth amendment, upon being asked by an official body about his Communist connections, he shall be automatically dismissed. He was questioned by an official body. He was automatically dismissed. But what happened? The Supreme Court reinstated him in his job. City College of New York cannot control its own faculty because of these nine men in Washington. Forty-eight State legislatures cannot have sedition statutes because of these nine men in Washington. Out in New Mexico a man applied for membership in the bar. A similar situation occurred in California. One of the men was admittedly a former Communist. The bar did not want him to become a member. Certainly the bar board should have discretion enough to determine whether a man had the character to be admitted. The board turned him down. In the other case the man refused to answer questions about his Communist connections. Both of those men—one a former Communist, the other tied in with the Communists—were refused licenses to practice law, one in New Mexico and the other in California. But the nine men comprising the Supreme Court ordered those boards to give the applicants their licenses. Also, in California there were 14 Communists convicted of actually organizing Communist cells. They were preaching the doctrine of communism. They were convicted in the California court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. What did that Court do? It turned five of them loose and gave the other nine a new trial. It virtually held, in fact, that one can preach communism all he wants to. So long as the organizing does not begin until a future day, it will be all right. In other words, there would have to be action to put it into effect immediately under the holding of the Court. How are we going to protect this Government? How is the FBI going to protect it? How are the people of California going to protect it when they catch people who are actually organizing Communist cells and who are advocating communism and preaching communism, and then the Supreme Court turns them loose, laying down a dangerous doctrine—and it is a dangerous doctrine to which I just referred. Then there is the Watkins case, Mr. President, which has hampered investigations by the Congress. The Supreme Court handed down a decision after Watkins had been convicted of contempt and turned him loose. The Court, in effect, held that a member of the counsel or someone who wanted to ask questions would have to explain the questions to the witness. A smart witness would never admit he understood or comprehended what was meant. In the city of Washington, Mr. President, one of the most dangerous decisions, I think, that has ever been handed down involved the man Mallory, who raped a white woman. He was caught the next day. He was caught about 2 o’clock. Along about 8 or 9 o’clock he was given a lie-detector test, and he confessed the crime and admitted that he raped the white woman. The officers could not get hold of the United States Commissioner that night, and had to wait until the next morning, about 9 o’clock. They held the admitted criminal from about 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, and in the meantime he gave a confession to the police in Washington. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. He had confessed his crime. But the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. What did those nine men do with it? They reversed the decision and said the police had held the man too long. What is going to happen in this Nation if police officers cannot hold criminals from 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, especially when those criminals have confessed to their crimes? Heretofore in judicial administration there has been no particular time fixed. A person could be held a reasonable time before arraignment. Under this decision the man would have to confess at just about the time he was arrested, because the Supreme Court held that after he is arrested he is under coercion; and because he was held that short time the Supreme Court reversed the case, and the district attorney said there would not be any use to try it again; that the evidence depended on the confession. As a result of that case, the Chief of Police in Washington said it would be very difficult to apprehend and detect criminals and arrest them hereafter and be able to make the evidence stand up in court. He called it a terrible handicap to law enforcement in such cases. Mr. President, there are other decisions the Supreme Court has handed down about which I should like to tell the Senate. The Court seems to get its greatest delight out of turning loose Communists. The record is disgraceful. The FBI, the law-enforcement agencies, police officers chase down Communists and narcotic people—and they are hard to catch. Then the Supreme Court reverses decisions and turns them loose and they walk the streets, as did the confessed rapist who was sentenced on his own confession. It is a disgrace to this Nation. Mr. President, I still think this compromise bill is unconstitutional, but with the present Supreme Court no one can predict what they will do about it. {{smaller block|It was John Marshall, who 15 years later would do so much to justify Mason’s apprehensions, who undertook to allay his fears now. The Federal Government, he insisted, certainly would not have the power “to make laws on every subject.” Could Members of the Congress make laws affecting the transfer of property, or contracts, or claims, between citizens of the same State?}} {{smaller block|“Can they go beyond the delegated powers? If they were to make a law not warranted by any of the powers enumerated, it would be considered by the judges as an infringement of the Constitution which they are to guard. They would not consider such a law as coming under their jurisdiction. They would declare it void.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall saw no danger to the States from decrees of the Supreme Court: “I hope that no gentleman will think that a State will be called at the bar of the Federal court. * * * It is not rational to suppose that the sovereign power should be dragged before a court.”}} {{smaller block|Madison, Monroe, and others joined Marshall in defending the third article. Their debate was long and detailed. Much of it was concerned with questions of pleading and practice. But after several days, they went on to other aspects of the Constitution: The prospect of judicial despotism was recognized by the few, and denied by the many.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|7. THE STATES RATIFY}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, Virginia ratified. It was a close vote. A motion to postpone ratification until amendments, in the nature of a bill of rights, could be considered by “the other States in the American confederacy,” failed by 88 to 80. Then the main question was put, and this was what Virginia agreed to. It merits careful reading:}} {{smaller block|“We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, * * * having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will; that, therefore, no right, of any denomination, can be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by the Congress, by the Senate or House of Representatives, acting in any capacity, by the President, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances in which power is given by the Constitution for those purposes; and that, among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|The vote on that main question was 89 to 79, but even that narrow margin of approval was predicated upon a gentlemen’s agreement that the Virginia convention would recommend a number of amendments, in the form of a Bill of Rights, to be presented to the first Congress. And the first of these recommended amendments reads: “That each State in the Union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|By the time Virginia completed ratification, of course her decision no longer carried compelling importance. The Virginia convention had opened on June 2, not quite 2 weeks after South Carolina, on May 23, had become the eighth State to ratify. But while the Virginians were debating the issue, New Hampshire, on June 21, had become No. 9: The new union had been formed, and the Constitution had become binding upon the nine States “ratifying the same.” It has ever been Virginia’s fate to make the right decisions, but to put off making them as long as possible.}} {{smaller block|In this consideration of State and Federal relationships, there is something to be learned from the other resolutions of ratification. The easy ones came first: Delaware came first, on December 7, 1787, “fully, freely, and entirely” approving and assenting to the Constitution; and then, in quick succession, Pennsylvania on December 12, after a bitter fight; New Jersey on December 18, and Georgia—Georgians had not even read the Constitution—on January 2, 1788. Connecticut followed a week later, with a comfortable vote of 128 to 40.}} {{smaller block|Then a month’s hiatus set in. Massachusetts did not become No. 6 until February 7, and her approval of this “explicit and solemn compact” was not unqualified:}} {{smaller block|“It is the opinion of this convention that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this commonwealth, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|It will come as no surprise that the very first amendment recommended by Massachusetts was “that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States to be by them exercised.”}} {{smaller block|Two months later, on April 28, Maryland ratified. Then there was another lapse of nearly a month before South Carolina, on May 23, became No. 8; South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.” Then South Carolina added:}} {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} {{smaller block|New Hampshire, in voting its approval on June 21, closely paralleled the action of Massachusetts, but New Hampshire’s declaration as to reserved powers was even more explicit. The people of New Hampshire wanted it understood that all powers not “expressly and particularly delegated” were reserved.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield. Mr. LANGER. Was the action of the South Carolina convention unanimous? [Laughter.] Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall, from reading the history of that matter, whether it was unanimous or not. The action of the South Carolina convention was not unanimous when it acted on the question of adopting the resolution of ratification for the admission of South Carolina to the Union. South Carolina was the eighth State to be admitted to the Union. New Hampshire was the ninth. New Hampshire’s action resulted in the formation of the Union; ratification by nine States was required in order to form the Union. After that, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution and became members of the Union. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I am not sure whether the action by the South Carolina convention was unanimous or not. Mr. LANGER. I know the Senator from South Carolina, who has been a very distinguished governor of his State, is very well informed in regard to such matters. Mr. THURMOND. As stated in the book, The Sovereign States— {{smaller block|South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.”}} Then South Carolina added: {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} I construe that declaration to be part of the resolution of ratification, which was not adopted unanimously. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have been glad, Mr. President, to have the Senator from North Dakota ask these questions. Mr. President, a few years ago, when I was a young State senator, I made a commencement address in another county, about 40 miles from my home. The commencement was held in a long school building in which the acoustics were very bad. People in the rear could not hear, and looked as if they were going to sleep—and maybe they were. So I raised my voice, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that I am speaking for the future citizens of South Carolina.” By raising my voice, I woke up the people in the rear of the room; and one fellow rose up, shook his head, and said, “Well, brother, if you speak much longer, they will soon be here, too.” [Laughter.] Mr. President, I feel so good that I believe I could speak quite a long time. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I felt it my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort to emphasize the dangers of this bill. I began speaking at 8:50 last night. It is now 5 minutes after 9. I shall conclude my remarks in a very few minutes. Mr. President, in closing, I desire to remind the Senate that every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote; and the Federal Government has a statute which protects the right to vote. In my opinion, Mr. President, this bill is unconstitutional, for the reasons I have stated during this debate. This so-called compromise, which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives, permits a Federal judge to decide whether he will try one who is charged with criminal contempt, or whether he will permit him to be tried by a jury. The bill further provides a Federal judge with the discretionary power—if he does not try the person without a jury—to decide what punishment he will impose. If he imposes a fine greater than $300 or imprisonment for more than 45 days, the defendant can then demand a jury trial. That process could result in two trials in the case of a defendant charged with criminal contempt. I believe that would be unconstitutional. Under our system of jurisprudence, a man can never be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense. Furthermore, if a judge should find such a person guilty, as a result of the first trial, we can realize what effect that would have on the jury which would be used in the second trial. Mr. President, I should like to remind the Senate of the decision I have cited today, which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That decision says criminal contempt is a crime. The Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The Constitution makes no exceptions. The pending bill, which has come to the Senate from the House of Representatives, has now been amended in such a way that it could not conform to the Constitution. Mr. President, in spite of the great amount of debate and discussion which previously have taken place on the subject of House bill 6127, I felt that this bill was of such importance to the citizens of the United States that it was my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort again to emphasize the dangers of the bill. I have spoken several times on it before. Mr. President, I wish to say that my action was taken entirely on my own volition. I believe that every Senator must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in connection with such matters. I do not believe that the action of any other Senator should be judged according to the action I have taken. Mr. President, if I have helped to bring home to the American people, the citizens of this Nation, the heartfelt conviction which I hold, namely, that this bill is unwise, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, then I shall have done what I believe to be my duty. I should like to believe that some have been convinced by my arguments, and that my arguments have been accepted on the basis on which I intended them to be accepted—as arguments against what I am convinced is bad proposed legislation, proposed legislation which never should have been introduced, and which never should be approved by the Senate. Mr. President, I urge every Member of this body to consider this bill most carefully. I hope the Senate will see fit to kill it. I expect to vote against the bill. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to the officials of the Senate, to those who have come in to listen to this debate, to the various Senators who have listened to this debate from time to time; to the clerks and the attachés, and to all who did everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible during the 24 hours and 22 minutes I have spoken. Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for these courtesies, and again I want to thank the Presiding Officer and the others for their courtesies extended to me, and with this I now give up the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. SMATHERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the rollcall be rescinded.

In connection with the next speaker, we had estimated that we would reach him about 9 o’clock. We are running a little ahead of schedule. Therefore, there are no speakers available at this time. We do not desire to have a vote on the bill until every Senator has had an opportunity to express himself, and we do not wish to take advantage of any Senator, or inconvenience any Senator more than is necessary.

Mr. President, I rise to speak against the so-called voting-right bill H. R. 6127, which bill was passed by the House of Representatives. It came to the Senate without being referred to a committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar, which is something unusual and out of ordinary procedure. The bill was then amended by the Senate and returned to the House, after which time the House amended it again by adopting what was called a compromise. The compromise as well as the bill is entirely unreasonable, and I hope that the Senate will not pass the bill. There are mainly three reasons why I feel the bill should not be passed. The first is that it is unnecessary. {{c|{{asc|STATE LEGISLATION PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS}}}} Every State has enacted some legislation making it unlawful to intimidate a voter or to hinder him in the exercising of his voting rights. Penalties have been provided for such violations. I now expect to take up the voting laws in each of the 48 States and show that each of the States affords adequate protection to the voting right. The first is Alabama. Alabama: Unless otherwise designated, references are to the code, 1940, title 17: {{smaller block|Intimidating or hindering voter: It Is a corrupt practice for any person on election day to intimidate an elector or an election officer, or to obstruct, hinder, or prevent or to attempt to obstruct, hinder, or prevent the forming of lines of the voters awaiting their turn to enter the election booths (sec. 285). It is a corrupt practice for any person directly or indirectly to hire a person to take a place in line or to otherwise obstruct, hinder, or prevent the forming of the line of voters awaiting their turn to enter the polling place (sec. 286). Penalty: Any person who does any act declared to be a corrupt practice under the election laws of the State shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, must be fined not more than $500, and may also be imprisoned in the county jail or sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than 6 months at the discretion of the court (sec. 332). Attempt to influence voter: Any person who by corrupt means attempts to influence any elector in giving his vote, or deter him from giving the same, or to disturb, or to hinder him in the free exercise of the right of suffrage, at any election, must, on conviction, be fined not less than $50 nor more than $500 (sec. 304). Disturbing elector on election day: Any person who, on election day, disturbs or prevents or attempts to prevent any elector from freely casting his ballot, must, on conviction be fined not less than $500 nor more than $1,000, and also be sentenced to hard labor for the county, or be imprisoned in the county jail for not less than 6 months nor more than 1 year (sec. 306). Employer intimidating employee: Any employer or officer of an employer corporation, who attempts by coercion, intimidation, or threats, to discharge or lessen wages, to influence the vote of an employee, or who demands an inspection of employee’s ballot, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $500 (secs. 317, 318).}} Arizona: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Revised Statutes, Annotated, 1956, title 16: {{smaller block|Coercion or intimidation of elector: It is unlawful for a person, directly or indirectly, to use, or threaten to use, force, violence, or restraint, or in any other manner, to intimidate a person in order to induce him to vote, or refrain from voting for a particular person or measure, or to commit such acts on account of a person’s having voted or refrained from voting at an election. It is unlawful for a person, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent device, to hinder, prevent, or otherwise interfere with the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or to compel him to either vote or refrain from voting at an election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person or measure. Violation of this provision by a person, whether acting in his individual capacity or as an officer or agent of a corporation, is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding $5,000 (secs. 16–1303, 16–1305).

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Clark}} in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Chair cannot hear the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have read the election laws of every State in the Union, from Alabama to Wyoming, showing that the States now have, on their statute books and in their constitutions, provisions to protect the right to vote. The accuracy of the statutes which I have just recited is confirmed by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress. No one can say that any State, from Alabama through Wyoming, does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. The bill before the Senate is called a right-to-vote bill. Why is it called that? Every State has statutes to protect the right to vote. The sovereign States are protecting their citizens in the right to vote. Yet there is a big cry and a big hue about a voting law. As a matter of fact, the only thing that instigated this bill was the desire of both parties, the Democratic and the Republican, to play to minority votes. That is the purpose of the bill. It is purely political. Why do we need a Federal law when every State has a statute to protect the right to vote? And who is in a better position to protect the right to vote than the officials of the States? Suppose the voting laws of all the States were abrogated and violated. Does the Federal Government have a police system which would enable it to send officials into every State to police the election laws of every State? If so, it would change our entire conception of the Government of this Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written in 1789, in Philadelphia. It was ratified by nine Colonies which made them States and created the Union; 2 years later the Bill of Rights was adopted; and in the 10th amendment, which is a part of the Bill of Rights, it is provided that all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. There is nothing in the Constitution that delegates those powers to the Federal Government. Therefore, those rights are reserved to the States, and it is unlawful and unconstitutional for Congress to attempt to pass a law that will set up an administration which will attempt to bring about a policing of all the elections in all the 48 States of this Nation. Some persons say, “Well, the States won’t enforce the voting laws. We have got to have a Federal law. Some States deny the vote to citizens.” I question that. Has there been a single instance brought before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United States and proof presented that anyone has been denied the vote? From my understanding, and from the minority report which was submitted by some members of the Judiciary Committee, that has not been the case. So why does the Federal Government want to enter a field into which it has no constitutional authority to enter? As a matter of fact, the Federal Government already has a statute, I say to those who say the States are not protecting the right to vote. I am wondering if the Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives have overlooked the Federal statute. I shall read that statute, so that Senators can know that we now have a Federal statute to protect the right to vote. I shall read several provisions. The last one is the most applicable, and one on which I shall comment a little more, but I want to start with chapter 29 of title 18 of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. That is the United States Code, Criminal Code, and Criminal Procedure. Chapter 29 is entitled “Elections and Political Activities.” Section 591 reads: {{smaller block|Definitions:}} {{smaller block|When used in sections 597, 599, 602, 609, and 610 of this title—}} {{smaller block|The term “election” includes a general or special election, but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party.}} But under a decision of the Supreme Court, in a case which went up from my own State of South Carolina, it was held that the primary election was a part of the election machinery; and the decision was rendered on that subject. {{smaller block|The term “candidate” means an individual whose name is presented for election as Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress of the United States, whether or not such individual is elected;}} {{smaller block|The term “political committee” includes any committee, association, or organization which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the election of candidates or presidential and vice presidential electors (1) in two or more States, or (2) whether or not in more than one State if such committee, association, or organization (other than a duly organized State or local committee of a political party) is a branch or subsidiary of a national committee, association, or organization;}} {{smaller block|The term “contribution” includes a gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make a contribution, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “expenditure” includes a payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make an expenditure, whether or not legally enforceable;}} {{smaller block|The term “person” or the term “whoever” includes an individual, partnership, committee, association, corporation, and any other organization or group of persons;}} {{smaller block|The term “State” includes Territory and possession of the United States.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.)}} I shall now comment on section 594, which is entitled “Intimidation of Voters.” I cannot help but believe that Members of Congress in some way must have overlooked this statute, if they believe a Federal statute is essential on this subject, which I do not. This is the way the section reads: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 594. Intimidation of voters.}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} Mr. President, I do not think this statute is constitutional, in section 594, because I think the question is a matter reserved to the States. Since evidently there were people who thought the Federal Government did need to enter this field and who must have felt that it would not be unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enter it, this section was adopted. This section provides, as I have just read, for the punishment of anyone who attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. What is the purpose of the bill now under consideration, H. R. 6127? It is called the right-to-vote bill. The Federal statute here, in section 594 of title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, is just as plain on the subject as it can be. There is the Federal statute on the question of voting. I do not like it, because I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field, but we have the statute, in section 594. If there has been any violation of voting rights in this country, if there has been a single case of any person who claims that he has been intimidated or threatened or coerced to vote, the Federal Government has the power, under that statute, to punish anyone if he is convicted for such offense. Either this statute has not been enforced, if there have been violations, or else there have been no violations. So when the Federal Government asks that another voting law be passed, such as House bill 6127, it is admitting 1 of 2 things: Either there have been no violations of the rights of people to vote, or the Justice Department is not enforcing the law on this subject. I do not see what good it would do to enact another statute. What good would another statute do, if we have a statute already on the books? I have heard of no cases brought under this statute. There must not have been any violations. If there have been violations, the Federal Government has failed to prosecute violators, which it could do under this law. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 595.

That is in the Federal statutes. Again I ask, Why does the Congress need to pass another law when we have a law, a law with teeth in it, a law that provides a punishment of as much as $1,000 or imprisonment for as long as one year, or both? In other words, under this statute, the Federal Government, through the Justice Department, can prosecute any person who intimidates, threatens, or coerces another person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. If we have that kind of law on the books now, why do we need another law? As I stated a few moments ago, I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field. But they have entered this field, and laws on the subject have been enacted. Section 594 gives the Federal Government all the authority it needs to protect the right to vote in any State of this Nation. Section 594 makes provision for specific punishment if anyone violates the section and attempts to deny the right to vote, or threatens, intimidates, or coerces one in his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. So with every State in the Nation having laws on the subject to protect the right to vote, and with the Federal Government having laws on this subject to protect the right to vote, why do we need to pass another bill, another bill which is unconstitutional, another bill which violates the Constitution of the United States? I will come to that later on in my address. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. I am going to take up after a while a decision which shows that criminal contempt is a crime, and if criminal contempt is a crime, then it falls within the category of the provision of the Constitution of the United States which says that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It does not specify by degree. If he is entitled to a jury trial, he is entitled to it. The Senate passed a bill with an amendment providing for jury trial. The bill went back to the House, the House amended it, and added a provision that the judge in his discretion could try the case if the punishment was not over 45 days or a fine of $300. That is not what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not provide that a man is entitled to a jury trial under certain conditions, if the House had fixed the fine at $1 instead of $300 and denied a man the right of a trial by jury, in my opinion it still would have been unconstitutional. I shall develop that more as my address goes on. Mr. President, I shall now take up specific points of the proposed compromise on the jury trial provisions of H. R. 6127, so as to point out the lack of constitutionality of the provisions in connection with contempt of court proceedings. A so-called compromise has been reached among advocates of civil-rights legislation—H. R. 6127—whereby a jury trial would be given in certain criminal contempts of Federal courts. The purpose of this speech is to point out the objectionable features of the proposed compromise and to show conclusively that it is unconstitutional. The proposed jury-trial amendment, being part V of H. R. 6127, reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|PART V—TO PROVIDE TRIAL BY JURY FOR PROCEEDINGS TO PUNISH CRIMINAL CONTEMPTS OF COURT ARISING OUT OF CIVIL-RIGHTS CASES AND TO AMEND THE JUDICIAL CODE RELATING TO FEDERAL JURY QUALIFICATIONS}}}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 151. In all cases of criminal contempt arising under the provisions of this act, the accused, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both: ''Provided, however'', That in case the accused is a natural person the fine to be paid shall not exceed the sum of $1,000, nor shall imprisonment exceed the term of 6 months: ''Provided further'', That in any such proceeding for criminal contempt, at the discretion of the judge, the accused may be tried with or without a jury: ''Provided further, however'', That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of the $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury, which shall conform as near as may be to the practice in other criminal cases.}} {{smaller block|This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders, or process of the court.}} {{smaller block|Nor shall anything herein or in any other provision of law be construed to deprive courts of their power, by civil contempt proceedings, without a jury, to secure compliance with or to prevent obstruction of, as distinguished from punishment for violations of, any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of the court in accordance with the prevailing usages of law and equity, including the power of detention.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 152. Section 1861, title 28, of the United States Code is hereby amended to read as follows:}} {{smaller block|“1861. Qualifications of Federal jurors.}} {{smaller block|“Any citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years and who has resided for a period of 1 year within the judicial district, is competent to serve as a grand or petit juror unless:}} {{smaller block|“(1) He has been convicted in a State or Federal court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty.}} {{smaller block|“(2) He is unable to read, write, speak, and understand the English language.}} {{smaller block|“(3) He is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmities, to render efficient jury service.”}} Mr. President, those are the provisions of the so-called compromise. I wish to have all other Members of the Senate and all other citizens of these United States know just what the compromise provides. First, Mr. President, this amendment is clearly unconstitutional because of vagueness. It is an established principle of constitutional law that crimes must be clearly defined. If this amendment were enacted, persons charged with contempt would be deprived of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th amendment to the Federal Constitution. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under a statute by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. This point is clearly brought out in Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, in the second edition, third volume, at page 1727. Here is what this great authority on the Constitution has to say on this point: {{smaller block|1142. Crimes must be clearly defined.}} {{smaller block|Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under statutes by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. “A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.” ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' (269 U. S. 385).}} The first sentence of the proposed amendment—section 151—refers to criminal contempt and provides for punishment upon conviction. The first ''proviso'' of the first sentence refers to natural persons; and for such natural persons, the fine is limited to $1,000 or—in the alternative—imprisonment is limited to 6 months. This first ''proviso'' is obviously drafted to bring the offense within the present definition of “misdemeanor,” as classified by the Congress in the adoption of title 18 of the United States Code on June 25, 1948. Section 1 of title 18, United States Code, classifies offenses against the United States as follows: {{smaller block|1. Offenses classified:}} {{smaller block|Notwithstanding any act of Congress to the contrary:}} {{smaller block|(1) Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year is a felony.}} {{smaller block|(2) Any other offense is a misdemeanor.}} {{smaller block|(3) Any misdemeanor, the penalty for which does not exceed imprisonment for a period of 6 months or a fine of not more than $500, or both, is a petty offense.}} The second ''proviso'' of the first sentence still refers to criminal contempt, and vests in the Federal district judge the discretion to determine whether the person accused of contempt is to be tried with or without a jury. The third proviso of the first sentence, still referring only to criminal contempts, says that where the district judge proceeds summarily—without benefit of a jury—to convict the accused and fine him or her for more than $300 or imprison him or her for more than 45 days, then the person so convicted—fined or imprisoned—may demand a trial ''de novo''. It is assumed that trial ''de novo'' contemplates a trial anew of the entire controversy, including the hearing of evidence, as though no previous action had been taken. In ''Pittsburgh S. S. Co.'' v. ''Brown'' ((1948 Ct. App. Ill.) 171 Fed. 2d. 175, 177), “trial ''de novo''” is defined as an entirely new trial, but that was a civil case. The term “trial ''de novo''” nowhere appears in criminal cases referred to in volume 42 A, Words and Phrases, 1952 edition or 1957 supplement. The second sentence of the amendment, without any reference to “criminal contempt” or without defining or differentiating between “criminal contempt” and “civil contempt,” proceeds to make the provisions of the first sentence inapplicable to those contempts “committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice” and likewise inapplicable to “misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.” In other words, this second sentence deals with certain “contempts” and with “misbehavior of any officers of the court” and excludes such “contempts” and “misbehavior of any officer of the court” from the provisions of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. In other words, the second sentence says that if any contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice, it is not dealt with in the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. Likewise excluded from coverage by the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127—would be “the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court” in respect to any writ, order, or process of court issued presumably under authority of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. The last sentence of the amendment—section 151—simply tries to restate the proposition now appearing in section 401 of title 18, United States Code, that a court of the United States has power to punish contempts of its authority. However, in restating that proposition, this last sentence refers to “civil contempts,” whereas section 401 refers to “contempt of its”—the court’s—“authority.” Thus we see the last sentence of the amendment, section 151, refers to “civil contempt,” as distinguished from the first sentence, which deals with “criminal contempt.” Nowhere in the amendment is any definition given of either “criminal contempt” or “civil contempt;” nor has Congress ever attempted to draw any such distinction. The sole provision attempting to draw a distinction between criminal and civil contempt is contained in rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in the requirement that the notice with respect to a criminal contempt shall describe it as such. The Advisory Committee on Rules, appointed by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the act of June 29, 1940—Fifty-fourth United States Statutes at Large, page 686—to assist in the preparation of rules of pleading, in their notes indicate that the requirement of notice written into rule 42 (b) was “intended to obviate the frequent confusion between criminal and civil contempt proceedings” pursuant to the suggestion made in ''McCann'' v. ''New York Stock Exchange'' ((2d Cir., 1935) 80 F. 2d 211). See Civil and Criminal Contempt in the Federal Courts, report of Los Angeles Bar Association, 17 Federal Rules Decisions 167–182—1955. The Supreme Court itself has belabored the distinction between civil and criminal contempts. For the Court’s distinction see ''Bessette'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' ((1904) 194 U.S. 324, 328). A contempt statute certainly comes within the due process of law requirements of the Constitution. To substantiate this point, I refer again to Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, page 1727, section 1141. In this section Willoughby points out that a contempt which is not committed in open court does require due process of law for the defendant. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, held on April 13, 1925, that all the guaranties of due process of law are available to a person charged with contempt. ''Cooke'' v. ''United States'' ((1925) 267 U.S. 517.) Thus it is quite clear that the amendment—section 151—as now drafted, would subject a person to criminal prosecution for a statutory offense so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable him to determine whether or not he is committing that offense. ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' ((1926) 269 U. S. 385); ''International Harvester Co.'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 216); ''Collins'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 634). Second. This amendment is unconstitutional, in violation of the fifth amendment prohibiting double jeopardy. That provision of the amendment which permits the accused to be tried a second time by a jury for the same offense following conviction in a summary proceeding violates the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” In ''ex parte'' Grossman the Supreme Court stated that contempt is an “offense” within the meaning of the pardoning power of the President granted in article II, section 2, clause 1 of the enumerated powers of the President. Clause 1 declares the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons of offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Chief Justice Taft in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1925) 267 U. S. 87, 107) quoting ''Myers'' v. ''United States'' ((1924) 264 U. S. 95, 104–105). If contempt is an offense when it comes to the pardoning power of the President, it certainly is an offense under the fifth amendment. Thus reading the language of the amendment—section 151—''in pari materia'' with the decisions in ''ex parte'' Grossman and ''Myers'' against ''United States'', for the Congress to grant a second trial following conviction, with the same defendant, the same charges, and the same evidence, would place the defendant in double jeopardy. The proposal—section 151—even if it were not in violation of the fifth amendment, would place Congress in the position of gambling with the rights of our citizens. Suppose a judge tries a man or woman and finds the person guilty. The press reports this fact to the public and such cases are bound to stir the public interest. The person so convicted is then tried again on the same evidence. Any jury is bound to be influenced. In addition, what basis or standard of conduct is to be the determining factor as to whether the judge imposes the lesser fine or sentence and lets his verdict stand or imposes the greater fine or punishment and moves the case along to a jury trial. There would be no uniformity in the application of the proposed statute—section 151—and the entire procedure would be awkward, cumbersome, and impracticable. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', a note is made of an interruption in Mr. Thurmond’s speech, regarding the results of a special election for a Senator, upon which several pages of the ''Record'' are used to record the reading of documents and the discussion of matters relevant thereto. As this is not a constituent portion of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, it is absent from this record. However, following this notice, several other parliamentary procedures are maintained, and other matters are dealt with; the ''Record'' then replaces the remainder of Mr. Thurmond’s speech to the records of the succeeding day, beginning on p. 16383. This record begins again from this section.'' Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I now wish to take up Chief Justice Taft’s opinion on jury trials in contempt cases. Considerable has been said about what Chief Justice Taft said concerning contempt and jury trials. Chief Justice Taft was at one time President of the United States, and he was Chief Justice of the United States. He was a great man and a great American. His opinions are highly revered, but some of his opinions have been quoted out of context or when not applicable. I wish to take up at this time his opinions on jury trials in contempt cases. On June 5, 1957, at his White House press conference, President Eisenhower, in answer to a question asked by the National Negro Press Association as to how he stood on the jury-trial amendment to the so-called civil-rights bill, quoted President Taft, as being opposed to a jury trial in contempt cases. President Eisenhower stated that Mr. Taft made this statement when he was President in 1908 and there is no evidence that he ever changed his mind. In the first place the statement was not made by Mr. Taft while President. The statement was made by Mr. Taft in a political speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 28, 1908, in acceptance of the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Taft at the time was Secretary of War. He did not become President until March 4, 1909. In this political speech Mr. Taft also said a trial by jury in contempt cases was never known in the history of the jurisprudence of England, or America, except in the constitution of Oklahoma. See Presidential Addresses and Papers, William H. Taft, 1910 ed., page 26. Also in this speech Mr. Taft said the popular impression that a judge, in punishing for contempt of his own order, may be affected by a personal feeling was unfounded. Did Mr. Taft change his mind when he became Chief Justice? He most assuredly did. He not only changed his mind on the subject of whether jury trials were had at common law in contempt cases but also changed his mind about judges having personal vindictiveness in contempt orders. While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Taft delivered the opinion in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1924) 267 U. S. 87) and cited eight cases at common law to show that in England a jury trial was had in contempt cases. This decision was rendered by him in upholding a pardon granted by President Hoover to a man imprisoned by a United States district judge in Illinois for contempt in a summary proceeding. Chief Justice Taft declared at page 118 of volume 267, United States Reports: {{smaller block|The King of England before our Revolution, in the exercise of his prerogative, had always exercised the power to pardon contempts of court, just as he did ordinary crimes and misdemeanors and as he has done to the present day. In the mind of a common-law lawyer of the 18th century the word pardon included within its scope the ending by the King’s grace of the punishment of such derelictions, whether it was imposed by the court without a jury or upon indictment, for both forms of trial for contempts were had. ''Thomas of Chartham'' v. ''Benet of Stamford'' ((1313), 24 Selden Society, 185); ''Fulwood'' v. ''Fulwood'' ((1585), Toothill, 46); ''Rex'' v. ''Buckenham'' ((1665), 1 Deble 751, 707, 852); Anonymous (1674), Cases in Chancery (238); ''King and Codrington'' v. ''Rodmap'' ((1630), Cr. Car. 198); ''Bartram'' v. ''Dannett'' ((1676), Finch, 253); ''Phipps'' v. ''Earl of Angelsea'' ((1721), 1 Peere Williams, 696).}} In all probability Mr. Taft was induced to recognize the fact that jury trials were customarily had at common law in contempts as a result of research conducted by the distinguished historian of English law, Mr. W. S. Holdsworth. The efforts of this great historian were first made public in 1909 after Mr. Taft had made his earlier statement. Mr. Holdsworth declared that the only cases in which contempts were punished summarily was where the contemnor confessed his guilt. If he did not confess the accused was tried by the ordinary course of law which meant trial by jury. To quote Mr. Holdsworth: {{smaller block|A History of English Law, volume III., pages 392–393. * * * But all through the medieval period, and long afterwards, the courts, though they might attack persons who were guilty of contempts of court, could not punish them summarily. Unless they confessed their guilt, they must be regularly indicted and convicted. Mr. Fox has given a list of 40 cases of various contempts—insults to the judges, an assault on the attorney general, beating jurors, striking a witness, trampling on a writ of prohibition—in all of which the offender was tried by the ordinary course of law. That this was the correct course to pursue was stated by Anderson, C. J., in 1599.}} In another opinion while Chief Justice Mr. Taft changed his mind about the immunity of Federal judges from vindictiveness in issuing contempt orders. On November 19, 1923, in a concurring opinion in ''Craig'' v. ''Hecht'' (263 U. S. 255 at p. 279), the Chief Justice said: {{smaller block|The delicacy there is in the judge’s deciding whether an attack upon his own judicial action is mere criticism or real obstruction, and the possibility that impulse may incline his view to personal vindication, are manifest. But the law gives the person convicted of contempt in such a case the right to have the whole question on facts and law reviewed by three judges of the circuit court of appeals who have had no part in the proceedings, and if not successful in that court, to apply to this Court for an opportunity for a similar review here.}} Mr. President, on June 10, 1957, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of [[Reid v. Covert (354 U.S. 1)|''Reid'' against ''Covert'']]. Since this opinion deals with the question “the right of trial by jury,” I think it is advisable for the Senate to consider this decision of the Supreme Court. I shall read a number of pages from the opinion and a concurring opinion by Justice Frankfurter. Some of the material in this opinion necessarily discusses the background of the cases. However, I believe it appropriate to read this material because it is necessary to a full understanding of this decision which upheld the constitutional right of trial by jury which H. R. 6127 would deny under certain conditions. I read from the opinion of the Court: {{smaller block|SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.''

WALTER KRUEGER, ON REHEARING, JUNE 10, 1957}} {{smaller block|Mr. Justice Black announced the judgment of the Court and delivered an opinion, in which the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan join.}} {{smaller block|These cases raise basic constitutional issues of the utmost concern. They call into question the role of the military under our system of government. They involve the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States thereby depriving them of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. These cases are particularly significant because for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution wives of soldiers have been denied trial by jury in a court of law and forced to trial before courts-martial.}} {{smaller block|In No. 701 Mrs. Clarice Covert killed her husband, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, at an airbase in England. Mrs. Covert, who was not a member of the armed services, was residing on the base with her husband at the time. She was tried by a court-martial for murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The trial was on charges preferred by Air Force personnel and the court-martial was composed of Air Force officers. The court-martial asserted jurisdiction over Mrs. Covert under Article 2 (11) of the UCMJ, which provides:}} {{smaller block|“The following persons are subject to this code:}} {{smaller block|“(11) Subject to the provisions of any treaty or agreement to which the United States is or may be a party or to any accepted rule of international law, all persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces without the continental limits of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|Counsel for Mrs. Covert contended that she was insane at the time she killed her husband, but the military tribunal found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed by the Air Force Board of Reviews (16 CMR 465) but was reversed by the Court of Military Appeals (6 USCMA 48), because of prejudicial errors concerning the defense of insanity. While Mrs. Covert was being held in this country pending a proposed retrial by court-martial in the District of Columbia, her counsel petitioned the district court for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to set her free on the ground that the Constitution forbade her trial by military authorities. Construing this court’s decision in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), as holding that “a civilian is entitled to a civilian trial,” the district court held that Mrs. Covert could not be tried by court-martial and ordered her released from custody. The Government appealed directly to this court under, title 28, United States Code, section 1252. See Three Hundred and Fiftieth United States Reports, page 985.}} {{smaller block|In No. 713 Mrs. Dorothy Smith killed her husband, an Army officer, at a post in Japan where she was living with him. She was tried for murder by a court-martial and despite considerable evidence that she was insane was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The judgment was approved by the Army Board of Review (10 CMR 350, 13 CMR 307), and the Court of Military Appeals (5 USCMA 314). Mrs. Smith was then confined in a Federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Her father, respondent here, filed a petition for ''habeas corpus'' in a district court for West Virginia. The petition charged that the court-martial was without jurisdiction because article 2 (11) of the UCMJ was unconstitutional insofar as it authorized the trial of civilian dependents accompanying servicemen overseas. The district court refused to issue the writ (137 F. Supp. 806), and while an appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit we granted ''certiorari'' at the request of the Government (350 U. S. 986).}} {{smaller block|The two cases were consolidated and argued last term and a majority of the Court, with 3 Justices dissenting and 1 reserving opinion, held that military trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert for their alleged offenses was constitutional. Three hundred and fifty-first United States Reports, page 470, 487. The majority held that the provisions of article III and the fifth and sixth amendments which require that crimes be tried by a jury after indictment by a grand jury did not protect an American citizen when he was tried by the American Government in foreign lands for offenses committed there and that Congress could provide for the trial of such offenses in any manner it saw fit so long as the procedures established were reasonable and consonant with due process. The opinion then went on to express the view that military trials, as now practiced, were not unreasonable or arbitrary when applied to dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces overseas. In reaching their conclusion the majority found it unnecessary to consider the power of Congress “to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces” under article I of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Subsequently, the Court granted a petition for rehearing. Three Hundred and Fifty-second United States Reports, page 901. Now, after further argument and consideration, we conclude that the previous decisions cannot be permitted to stand. We hold that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert could not constitutionally be tried by military authorities.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|I}}}} {{smaller block|At the beginning we reject the idea that when the United States acts against citizens abroad it can do so free of the Bill of Rights. The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution. When the Government reaches out to punish a citizen who is abroad, the shield which the Bill of Rights and other parts of the Constitution provide to protect his life and liberty should not be stripped away just because he happens to be in another land. This is not a novel concept. To the contrary, it is as old as government. It was recognized long before Paul successfully invoked his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in strict accordance with Roman law. And many centuries later an English historian wrote:}} {{smaller block|“In a settled colony the inhabitants have all the rights of Englishmen. They take with them, in the first place, that which no Englishman can by expatriation put off, namely, allegiance to the Crown, the duty of obedience to the lawful commands of the Sovereign, and obedience to the laws which Parliament may think proper to make with reference to such a colony. But, on the other hand, they take with them all the rights and liberties of British subjects; all the rights and liberties as against the prerogative of the Crown, which they would enjoy in this county.”}} {{smaller block|The rights and liberties which citizens of our country enjoy are not protected by custom and tradition alone, they have been jealously preserved from the encroachments of Government by express provisions of our written Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Among those provisions, article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments are directly relevant to these cases. Article III, section 2, lays down the rule that—}} {{smaller block|“The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth amendment declares:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|And the sixth amendment provides:}} {{smaller block|“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.”}} {{smaller block|The language of article III, section 2, manifests that constitutional protections for the individual were designed to restrict the United States Government when it acts outside of this country, as well as here at home. After declaring that all criminal trials must be by jury, the section states that when a crime is “not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” If this language is permitted to have its obvious meaning, section 2 is applicable to criminal trials outside of the States as a group without regard to where the offense is committed or the trial held. From the very first Congress, Federal statutes have implemented the provisions of section 2 by providing for trial of murder and other crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of any State “in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may first be brought.” The fifth and sixth amendments, like article III, section 2, are also all inclusive with their sweeping references to “no person” and to “all criminal prosecutions.”}} {{smaller block|This Court and other Federal courts have held or asserted that various constitutional limitations apply to the Government when it acts outside the continental United States. While it has been suggested that only those constitutional rights which are “fundamental” protect Americans abroad, we can find no warrant, in logic or otherwise, for picking and choosing among the remarkable collection of “Thou shalt nots” which were explicitly fastened on all departments and agencies of the Federal Government by the Constitution and its amendments. Moreover, in view of our heritage and the history of the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it seems peculiarly anomalous to say that trial before a civilian judge and by an independent jury picked from the common citizenry are not fundamental rights. As Blackstone wrote in his Commentaries:}} {{smaller block|“The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * [I]t is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals.”}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} {{smaller block|The keystone of supporting authorities mustered by the Court’s opinion last June to justify its holding that article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments did not apply abroad was ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). The Ross case is one of those cases that cannot be understood except in its peculiar setting; even then, it seems highly unlikely that a similar result would be reached to-day. Ross was serving as a seaman on an American ship in Japanese waters. He killed a ship’s officer, was seized and tried before a consular court in Japan. At that time, statutes authorized American consuls to try American citizens charged with committing crimes in Japan and certain other non-Christian countries. These statutes provided that the laws of the United States were to govern the trial except:}} {{smaller block|“Where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.”}} {{smaller block|The consular power approved in the Ross case was about as extreme and absolute as that of the potentates of the non-Christian countries to which the statutes applied. Under these statutes consuls could and did make the criminal laws, initiate charges, arrest alleged offenders, try them, and after conviction take away their liberty or their life—sometimes at the American consulate. Such a blending of executive, legislative, and judicial powers in one person or even in one branch of the Government is ordinarily regarded as the very acme of absolutism. Nevertheless, the Court sustained Ross’ conviction by the consul. It stated that constitutional protections applied “only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad.” Despite the fact that it upheld Ross’ conviction under United States laws passed pursuant to asserted constitutional authority, the Court went on to make a sweeping declaration that “[t]he Constitution can have no operation in another country.”}} {{smaller block|The Ross approach that the Constitution has no applicability abroad has long since been directly repudiated by numerous cases. That approach is obviously erroneous if the United States Government, which has no power except that granted by the Constitution, can and does try citizens for crimes committed abroad. Thus the Ross case rested, at least in substantial part, on a fundamental misconception and the most that can be said in support of the result reached there is that the consular court jurisdiction had a long history antedating the adoption of the Constitution. The Congress has recently buried the consular system of trying Americans. We are not willing to jeopardize the lives and liberties of Americans by disinterring it. At best, the Ross case should be left as a relic from a different era.}} {{smaller block|The Court’s opinion last term also relied on the Insular Cases to support its conclusion that article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments were not applicable to the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. We believe that reliance was misplaced.}} {{smaller block|The Insular Cases can be distinguished from the present cases in that they involved the power of Congress to provide rules and regulations to govern temporarily territories with wholly dissimilar traditions and institutions whereas here the basis for governmental power is American citizenship. None of these cases had anything to do with military trials and they cannot properly be used as vehicles to support an extension of military jurisdiction to civilians. Moreover, it is our judgment that neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our Government. If our foreign commitments become of such nature that the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority, or inclination, to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|II}}}} {{smaller block|At the time of Mrs. Covert’s alleged offense, an executive agreement was in effect between the United States and Great Britain which permitted United States military courts to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over offenses committed in Great Britain by American servicemen or their dependents. For its part, the United States agreed that these military courts would be willing and able to try and to punish all offenses against the laws of Great Britain by such persons. In all material respects, the same situation existed in Japan when Mrs. Smith killed her husband. Even though a court-martial does not give an accused trial by jury and other Bill of Rights protections, the Government contends that section 2(11) of the UCMJ, insofar as it authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces in Great Britain and Japan, can be sustained as legislation which is necessary and proper to carry out the United States obligations under the international agreements made with those countries. The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI., the supremacy clause of the Constitution, declares:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.”}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in article VI. make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in pursuance of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe article VI. as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and the Senate combined.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. For example, in ''Geofroy'' v. ''Riggs'' (133 U. S. 258, 267), it declared:}} {{smaller block|“The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the Government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the Government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.”}} {{smaller block|This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument.}} {{smaller block|There is nothing in ''Missouri'' v. ''Holland'' (252 U. S. 416), which is contrary to the position taken here. There the Court carefully noted that the treaty involved was not inconsistent with any specific provision of the Constitution. The Court was concerned with the 10th amendment which reserves to the States or the people all power not delegated to the National Government. To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their power to the National Government and the 10th amendment is no barrier.}} {{smaller block|In summary, we conclude that the Constitution in its entirety applied to the trials of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. Since their court-martial did not meet the requirements of article III., section 2, or the fifth and sixth amendments, we are compelled to determine if there is anything within the Constitution which authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces overseas.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|III}}}} {{smaller block|Article I., section 8, clause 14, empowers Congress “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” It has been held that this creates an exception to the normal method of trial in civilian courts as provided by the Constitution and permits Congress to authorize military trial of members of the armed services without all the safeguards given an accused by article III. and the Bill of Rights. But if the language of clause 14 is given its natural meaning, the power granted does not extend to civilians—even though they may be dependents living with servicemen on a military base. The term “land and naval forces” refers to persons who are members of the armed services and not to their civilian wives, children, and other dependents. It seems inconceivable that Mrs. Covert or Mrs. Smith could have been tried by military authorities as members of the land and naval forces had they been living on a military post in this country. Yet this constitutional term surely has the same meaning everywhere. The wives of servicemen are no more members of the land and naval forces when living at a military post in England or Japan than when living at a base in this country or in Hawaii or Alaska.}} {{smaller block|The Government argues that the necessary and proper clause, when taken in conjunction with clause 14, allows Congress to authorize the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert by military tribunals and under military law. The Government claims that the two clauses together constitute a broad grant of power without limitation authorizing Congress to subject all persons, civilians and soldiers alike, to military trial if necessary and proper to govern and regulate the land and naval forces. It was on a similar theory that Congress once went to the extreme of subjecting persons who made contracts with the military to court-martial jurisdiction with respect to frauds related to such contracts. In the only judicial test a Circuit Court held that the legislation was patently unconstitutional. ''Ex parte'' Henderson (11 Fed. Cas. 1067, No. 6349).}} {{smaller block|It is true that the Constitution expressly grants Congress power to make all rules necessary and proper to govern and regulate those persons who are serving in the land and naval forces. But the necessary and proper clause cannot operate to extend military jurisdiction to any group of persons beyond that class described in clause 14—“the land and naval forces.” Under the grand design of the Constitution civilian courts are the normal repositories of power to try persons charged with crimes against the United States. And to protect persons brought before these courts, article III. and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments establish the right to trial by jury, by indictment by a grand jury, and a number of other specific safeguards. By way of contrast the jurisdiction of military tribunals is a very limited and extraordinary jurisdiction derived from the cryptic language in article I., section 8, and, at most, was intended to be only a narrow exception to the normal and preferred method of trial in courts of law. Every extension of military jurisdiction is an encroachment on the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and, more important, acts as a deprivation of the right to jury trial and of other treasured constitutional protections. Having run up against the steadfast bulwark of the Bill of Rights, the necessary and proper clause cannot extend the scope of clause 14.}} {{smaller block|Nothing said here contravenes the rule laid down in ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, at 421), that:}} {{smaller block|“Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.”}} {{smaller block|In McCulloch this Court was confronted with the problem of determining the scope of the necessary and proper clause in a situation where no specific restraints on governmental power stood in the way. Here the problem is different. Not only does clause 14, by its terms, limit military jurisdiction to members of the land and naval forces, but article III., section 2 and the fifth and sixth amendments require that certain express safeguards, which were designed to protect persons from oppressive governmental practices, shall be given in criminal prosecutions—safeguards which cannot be given in a military trial. In the light of these as well as other constitutional provisions, and the historical background in which they were formed, military trial of civilians is inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the constitution.}} {{smaller block|Further light is reflected on the scope of clause 14 by the fifth amendment. That amendment which was adopted shortly after the Constitution reads:}} {{smaller block|“No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.”}} {{smaller block|Since the exception in this amendment for cases arising in the land or naval forces was undoubtedly designed to correlate with the power granted Congress to provide for the government and regulation of the armed services, it is a persuasive and reliable indication that the authority conferred by clause 14 does not encompass persons who cannot fairly be said to be in the military service.}} {{smaller block|Even if it were possible, we need not attempt here to precisely define the boundary between civilians and members of the land and naval forces. We recognize that there might be circumstances where a person could be in the armed services for purposes of clause 14 even though he had not formally been inducted into the military or did not wear a uniform. But the wives, children, and other dependents of servicemen cannot be placed in that category, even though they may be accompanying a serviceman abroad at Government expense and receiving other benefits from the Government. We have no difficulty in saying that such persons do not lose their civilian status and their right to a civilian trial because the Government helps them live as members of a soldier’s family.}} {{smaller block|The tradition of keeping the military subordinate to civilian authority may not be so strong in the minds of this generation as it was in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. The idea that the relatives of soldiers could be denied a jury trial in a court of law and instead be tried by courts-martial under the guise of regulating the Armed Forces would have seemed incredible to those men, in whose lifetime the right of the military to try soldiers for any offenses in time of peace had only been grudgingly conceded. The founders envisioned the Army as a necessary institution, but one dangerous to liberty if not confined within its essential bounds. Their fears were rooted in history. They knew that ancient republics had been overthrown by their military leaders. They were familiar with the history of 17th century England, where Charles I. tried to govern through the army and without Parliament. During this attempt, contrary to the common law, he used courts-martial to try soldiers for certain nonmilitary offenses. This court-martialing of soldiers in peacetime evoked strong protests from Parliament. The reign of Charles I. was followed by the rigorous military rule of Oliver Cromwell. Later, James II. used the army in his fight against Parliament and the people. He promulgated articles of war (strangely enough relied on in the Government’s brief) authorizing the trial of soldiers for nonmilitary Crimes by courts-martial. This action hastened the revolution that brought William and Mary to the throne upon their agreement to abide by a bill of rights which, among other things, protected the right of trial by jury. It was against this general background that two of the greatest English jurists, Lord Chief Justice Hale and Sir William Blackstone—men who exerted considerable influence on the founders—expressed sharp hostility to any expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. For instance, Blackstone went so far as to assert:}} {{smaller block|“For martial law, which is built upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Hale observes, in truth and reality no law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the {{SIC|ony|only}} thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.”}} {{smaller block|The generation that adopted the Constitution did not distrust the military because of past history alone. Within their own lives they had seen royal governors sometimes resort to military rule. British troops were quartered in Boston at various times from 1768 until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War to support unpopular royal governors and to intimidate the local populace. The trial of soldiers by courts-martial and the interference of the military with the civil courts aroused great anxiety and antagonism not only in Massachusetts but throughout the colonies. For example, Samuel Adams in 1768 wrote:}} {{smaller block|“[I]s it not enough for us to have seen soldiers and mariners forejudged of life, and executed within the body of the county by martial law? Are citizens to be called upon, threatened, ill-used at the will of the soldiery, and put under arrest, by pretext of the law military, in breach of the fundamental rights of subjects, and contrary to the law and franchise of the land? * * * Will the spirits of people as yet unsubdued by tyranny, unawed by the menaces of arbitrary power, submit to be governed by military force? No! Let us rouse our attention to the common law—which is our birthright, our great security against all kinds of insult and oppression.”}} {{smaller block|Colonials had also seen the right to trial by jury subverted by acts of Parliament which authorized courts of admiralty to try alleged violations of the unpopular Molasses and Navigation Acts. This gave the admiralty courts jurisdiction over offenses historically triable only by a jury in a court of law and aroused great resentment throughout the colonies. As early as 1765 delegates from nine colonies meeting in New York asserted in a declaration of rights that trial by jury was the inherent and invaluable right of every citizen in the colonies.}} {{smaller block|With this background it is not surprising that the Declaration of Independence protested that George III. had affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power and that Americans had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. And those who adopted the Constitution embodied their profound fear and distrust of military power, as well as their determination to protect trial by jury, in the Constitution and its amendments. Perhaps they were aware that memories fade and hoped that in this way they could keep the people of this Nation from having to fight again and again the same old battles for individual freedom.}} {{smaller block|In the light of this history, it seems clear that the founders had no intention to permit the trial of civilians in military courts, where they would be denied jury trials and other constitutional protections, merely by giving Congress the power to make rules which were necessary and proper for the regulation of the land and naval forces. Such a latitudinarian interpretation of these clauses would be at war with the well-established purpose of the founders to keep the military strictly within its proper sphere, subordinate to civil authority. The Constitution does not say that Congress can regulate the land and naval forces and all other persons whose regulation might have some relationship to maintenance of the land and naval forces. There is no indication that the founders contemplated setting up a rival system of military courts to compete with civilian courts for jurisdiction over civilians who might have some contact or relationship with the Armed Forces. Courts-martial were not to have concurrent jurisdiction with courts of law over nonmilitary America.}} {{smaller block|On several occasions this Court has been faced with an attempted expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. ''Ex parte'' Milligan (4 Wall. 2), one of the great landmarks in this Court’s history, held that military authorities were without power to try civilians not in the military or naval service by declaring martial law in an area where the civil administration was not deposed and the courts were not closed. In a stirring passage the Court proclaimed:}} {{smaller block|“Another guaranty of freedom was broken when Milligan was denied a trial by jury. The great minds of the country have differed on the correct interpretation to be given to various provisions of the Federal Constitution; and judicial decision has been often invoked to settle their true meaning; but until recently no one ever doubted that the right of trial by jury was fortified in the organic law against the power of attack. It is now assailed; but if ideas can be expressed in words, and language has any meaning, this right—one of the most valuable in a free country—is preserved to everyone accused of crime who is not attached to the Army, or Navy, or militia in actual service.”}} {{smaller block|In ''Duncan'' v. ''Kahanamoku'' (327 U. S. 304), the Court reasserted the principles enunciated in ''Ex parte'' Milligan and reaffirmed the tradition of military subordination to civil authorities and institutions. It refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during wartime despite Government claims that the needs of defense made martial law imperative.}} {{smaller block|Just last term, this Court held in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), that military courts could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense which he had allegedly committed while in the Armed Forces. It was decided (1) that since Toth was a civilian he could not be tried by military court-martial, and (2) that since he was charged with murder, a crime in the constitutional sense, he was entitled to indictment by a grand jury, jury trial, and the other protections contained in article III., section 2 and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. The Court pointed out that trial by civilian courts was the rule for persons who were not members of the Armed Forces.}} {{smaller block|There are no supportable grounds upon which to distinguish the ''Toth'' case from the present cases. Toth, Mrs. Covert, and Mrs. Smith were all civilians. All three were American citizens. All three were tried for murder. All three alleged crimes were committed in a foreign country. The only differences were: (1) Toth was an exserviceman while they were wives of soldiers; (2) Toth was arrested in the United States while they were seized in foreign countries. If anything, Toth had closer connection with the military than the two women for his crime was committed while he was actually serving in the Air Force. Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith had never been members of the Army, had never been employed by the Army, had never served in the Army in any capacity. The Government appropriately argued in Toth that the constitutional basis for court-martialing him was clearer than for court-martialing wives who are accompanying their husbands abroad. Certainly Toth’s conduct as a soldier bears a closer relation to the maintenance of order and discipline in the Armed Forces than the conduct of these wives. The fact that Toth was arrested here while the wives were arrested in foreign countries is material only if constitutional safeguards do not shield a citizen abroad when the Government exercises its power over him. As we have said before, such a view of the Constitution is erroneous. The mere fact that these women had gone overseas with their husbands should not reduce the protection the Constitution gives them.}} {{smaller block|The Milligan, ''Duncan'', and ''Toth'' cases recognized and manifested the deeply rooted and ancient opposition in this country to the extension of military control over civilians. In each instance an effort to expand the jurisdiction of military courts to civilians was repulsed.}} {{smaller block|There have been a number of decisions in the lower Federal courts which have upheld military trial of civilians performing services for the Armed Forces in the field during time of war. To the extent that these cases can be justified, insofar as they involved trial of persons who were not members of the Armed Forces, they must rest on the Government’s war powers. In the face of an actively hostile enemy, military commanders necessarily have broad power over persons on the battlefront. From a time prior to the adoption of the Constitution the extraordinary circumstances present in an area of actual fighting have been considered sufficient to permit punishment of some civilians in that area by military courts under military rules. But neither Japan nor Great Britain could properly be said to be an area where active hostilities were underway at the time Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert committed their offenses or at the time they were tried.}} {{smaller block|The Government urges that the concept in the field should be broadened to reach dependents accompanying the military forces overseas under the conditions of world tension which exist at the present time. It points out how the war powers include authority to prepare defenses and to establish our military forces in defensive posture about the world. While we recognize that the war powers of the Congress and the Executive are broad, we reject the Government’s argument that present threats to peace permit military trial of civilians accompanying the Armed Forces overseas in an area where no actual hostilities are underway. The exigencies which have required military rule on the battlefront are not present in areas where no conflict exists. Military trial of civilians in the field is an extraordinary jurisdiction, and it should not be expanded at the expense of the Bill of Rights. We agree with Colonel Winthrop, an expert on military jurisdiction, who declared: “A statute cannot be framed by which a civilian can lawfully be made amenable to the military jurisdiction in time of peace.”}} {{smaller block|As this Court stated in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), the business of soldiers is to fight and prepare to fight wars, not to try civilians for their alleged crimes. Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions, and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks. Because of its very nature and purpose the military must place great emphasis on discipline and efficiency. Correspondingly, there has always been less emphasis in the military on protecting the rights of the individual than in civilian society and in civilian courts.}} {{smaller block|Courts-martial are typically ''ad hoc'' bodies appointed by a military officer from among his subordinates. They have always been subject to varying degrees of command influence. In essence, these tribunals are simply executive tribunals whose personnel are in the executive chain of command. Frequently, the members of the court-martial must look to the appointing officer for promotions, advantageous assignments, and efficiency ratings—in short, for their future progress in the service. Conceding to military personnel that high degree of honesty and sense of justice which nearly all of them undoubtedly have, the members of a court-martial, in the nature of things, do not and cannot have the independence of jurors drawn from the general public or of civilian judges.}} {{smaller block|We recognize that a number of improvements have been made in military justice recently by engrafting more and more of the methods of civilian courts on courts-martial. In large part these ameliorations stem from the reaction of civilians, who were inducted during the two World Wars, to their experience with military justice. Notwithstanding the recent reforms, military trial does not give an accused the same protection which exists in the civil courts. Looming far above all other deficiencies of the military trial, of course, are the absence of trial by jury before an independent judge after an indictment by a grand jury. Moreover, the reforms are merely statutory; Congress—and perhaps the President—can reinstate former practices, subject to any limitations imposed by the Constitution, whenever it desires. As yet it has not been clearly settled to what extent the Bill of Rights and other protective parts of the Constitution apply to military trials.}} {{smaller block|It must be emphasized that every person who comes within the jurisdiction of courts-martial is subject to military law—law that is substantially different from the law which governs civilian society. Military law is, in many respects, harsh law which is frequently cast in very sweeping and vague terms. It emphasizes the iron hand of discipline more that it does the even scales of justice. Moreover, it has not yet been definitely established to what extent the President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, or his delegates, can promulgate, supplement, or change substantive military law as well as the procedures of military courts in time of peace, or in time of war. In any event, Congress has given the President broad discretion to provide the rules governing military trials. For example, in these very cases a technical manual issued under the President’s name with regard to the defense of insanity in military trials was of critical importance in the convictions of Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith. If the President can provide rules of substantive law as well as procedure, then he and his military subordinates exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers with respect to those subject to military trials. Such blending of functions in one branch of the Government is the objectionable thing which the draftsmen of the Constitution endeavored to prevent by providing for the separation of governmental powers.}} {{smaller block|In summary, “it still remains true that military tribunals have not been and probably never can be constituted in such way that they can have the same kind of qualifications that the Constitution has deemed essential to fair trials of civilians in Federal courts.” In part this is attributable to the inherent differences in values and attitudes that separate the Military Establishment from civilian society. In the military, by necessity, emphasis must be placed on the security and order of the group rather than on the value and integrity of the individual.}} {{smaller block|It is urged that the expansion of military jurisdiction over civilians claimed here is only slight, and that the practical necessity for it is very great. The attitude appears to be that a slight encroachment on the Bill of Rights and other safeguards in the Constitution need cause little concern. But to hold that these wives could be tried by the military would be a tempting precedent. Slight encroachments create new boundaries from which legions of power can seek new territory to capture. “It may be that it is the obnoxious thing in its mildest and least repulsive form; but illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing in that way; namely, by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal modes of procedure. This can only be obviated by adhering to the rule that constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. A close and literal construction deprives them of half their efficacy, and leads to gradual depreciation of the right, as if it consisted more in sound than in substance. It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.” Moreover we cannot consider this encroachment a slight one. Throughout history many transgressions by the military have been called slight and have been justified as reasonable in light of the uniqueness of the times. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that today the peoples of many nations are ruled by the military.}} {{smaller block|We should not break faith with this Nation’s tradition of keeping military power subservient to civilian authority, a tradition which we believe is firmly embodied in the Constitution. The country has remained true to that faith for almost 170 years. Perhaps no group in the Nation has been truer than military men themselves. Unlike the soldiers of many other nations, they have been content to perform their military duties in defense of the Nation in every period of need and to perform those duties well without attempting to usurp power which is not theirs under our system of constitutional government.}} {{smaller block|Ours is a Government of divided authority on the assumption that in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny. And under our Constitution courts of law alone are given power to try civilians for their offenses against the United States. The philosophy expressed by Lord Coke, speaking long ago from a wealth of experience, is still timely:}} {{smaller block|“God send me never to live under the law of conveniency or discretion.

WALTER KRUEGER, ON REHEARING, JUNE 10, 1957}} {{smaller block|Mr. Justice Frankfurter, concurring in the result.}} {{smaller block|These cases involve the constitutional power of Congress to provide for trial of civilian dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces abroad by court-martial in capital cases. The normal method of trial of Federal offenses under the Constitution is in a civilian tribunal. Trial of offenses by way of court-martial, with all the characteristics of its procedure so different from the forms and safeguards of procedure in the conventional courts, is an exercise of exceptional jurisdiction, arising from the power granted to Congress in article I., section 8, clause 14, of the Constitution of the United States—“To make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” ''Dynes'' v. ''Hoover'', (20 How. 65); see ''Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11); Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d ed. 1896), 52. Article 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64th United States Statutes at Large, pages 107, 109, title 50, United States Code, section 532, and its predecessors were passed as an exercise of that power, and the agreements with England and Japan recognized that the jurisdiction to be exercised under those agreements was based on the relation of the persons involved to the military forces. See the agreement with Great Britain (57 Stat. 1193, E. A. S. No. 355) and the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act (1942, 5 and 6 Geo. 6, ch. 31); and the 1952 administrative agreement with Japan (3 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 3341, T. I. A. S. No. 2492).}} {{smaller block|Trial by court-martial is constitutionally permissible only for persons who can, on a fair appraisal, be regarded as falling within the authority given to Congress under article I. to regulate the “land and naval forces,” and who therefore are not protected by specific provisions of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. It is, of course, true that, at least regarding the right to a grand-jury indictment, the fifth amendment is not unmindful of the demands of military discipline. Within the scope of appropriate construction, the phrase “except in cases arising in the land and naval forces” has been assumed also to modify the guaranties of speedy and public trial by jury. And so, the problem before us is not to be answered by recourse to the literal words of this exception. The cases cannot be decided simply by saying that since these women were not in uniform, they were not “in the land and naval forces.” The Court’s function in constitutional adjudications is not exhausted by a literal reading of words. It may be tiresome, but it is nonetheless vital, to keep our judicial minds fixed on the injunction that “it is a Constitution we are expounding.” ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, 407). Although Winthrop in his treatise states that the Constitution “clearly distinguishes the military from the civil class as separate communities” and “recognizes no third class which is part civil and part military—military for a particular purpose or in a particular situation, and civil for all other purposes and in all other situations. * * *” Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d edition 1896), 145, this Court, applying appropriate methods of constitutional interpretation, has long held, and in a variety of situations, that in the exercise of a power specifically granted to it, Congress may sweep in what may be necessary to make effective the explicitly worded power. See ''Jacob Ruppert'' v. ''Caffey'' (251 U. S. 264) especially 289 and following; ''Purity Extract Co.'' v. ''Lynch'' (226 U. S. 192, 201); ''Railroad Commission'' v. ''Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy R. Co.'' (257 U. S. 563, 588). This is the significance of the necessary and proper clause, which is not to be considered so much a separate clause in article I., section 8, as an integral part of each of the preceding 17 clauses. Only thus may be avoided a strangling literalness in construing a document that is not an enumeration of static rules, but the living framework of Government designed for an undefined future. ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316); ''Hurtado'' v. ''California'' (110 U. S. 516, 530–531).}} {{smaller block|Everything that may be deemed, as the exercise of an allowable judgment by Congress, to fall fairly within the conception conveyed by the power given to Congress “to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” is constitutionally within that legislative grant and not subject to revision by the independent judgment of the Court. To be sure, every event or transaction that bears some relation to “the land and naval forces” does not ''ipso facto'' come within the tolerant conception of that legislative grant. The issue in these cases involves regard for considerations not dissimilar to those involved in a determination under the due process clause. Obviously, the practical situations before us bear some relation to the military. Yet the question for this Court is not merely whether the relation of these women to the “land and naval forces” is sufficiently close to preclude the necessity of finding that Congress has been arbitrary in its selection of a particular method of trial. For although we must look to article I., section 8, clause 14, as the immediate justifying power, it is not the only clause of the Constitution to be taken into account. The Constitution is an organic scheme of government to be dealt with as an entirety. A particular provision cannot be dissevered from the rest of the Constitution. Our conclusion in these cases therefore must take due account of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must weigh all the factors involved in these cases in order to decide whether these women dependents are so closely related to what Congress may allowably deem essential for the effective “government and regulations of the land and naval forces” that they may be subjected to court-martial jurisdiction in these capital cases, when the consequence is loss of the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|We are not concerned here even with the possibility of some alternative nonmilitary type of trial that does not contain all the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must judge only what has been enacted and what is at issue. It is the power actually asserted by Congress under article I., section 8, clause 14, that must now be adjudged in the light of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. In making this adjudication, I must emphasize that it is only the trial of civilian dependents in a capital case in time of peace that is in question. The Court has not before it, and therefore I need not intimate any opinion on, situations involving civilians, in the sense of persons not having a military status, other than dependents. Nor do we have before us a case involving a noncapital crime. This narrow delineation of the issue is merely to respect the important restrictions binding on the Court when passing on the constitutionality of an act of Congress. “In the exercise of that jurisdiction, it is bound by two rules, to which it has rigidly adhered, one, never to anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it; the other never to formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied. These rules are safe guides to sound judgment. It is the dictate of wisdom to follow them closely and carefully.” ''Steamship Co.'' v. ''Emigration Commissioners'' (113 U. S. 33, 39).}} {{smaller block|We are also not concerned here with the substantive aspects of the grant of power to Congress to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces. What conduct should be punished and what constitutes a capital case are matters for Congressional discretion, always subject, of course, to any specific restrictions of the Constitution. These cases involve the validity of procedural conditions for determining the commission of a crime in fact punishable by death. The taking of life is irrevocable. It is in capital cases especially that the balance of conflicting interests must be weighted most heavily in favor of the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Thus, in ''Powell'' v. ''Alabama'' (287 U. S. 45, 71), the fact “above all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives” led the Court to conclude that the defendants had been denied due process by the failure to allow them reasonable time to seek counsel and the failure to appoint counsel. I repeat. I do not mean to imply that the considerations that are controlling in capital cases involving civilian dependents are constitutionally irrelevant in capital cases involving civilians other than dependents or in noncapital cases involving dependents or other civilians. I do say that we are dealing here only with capital cases and civilian dependents.}} {{smaller block|The Government asserts that civilian dependents are an integral part of our Armed Forces overseas and that there is substantial military necessity for subjecting them to court-martial jurisdiction. The Government points out that civilian dependents go abroad under military auspices, live with military personnel in a military community, enjoy the privileges of military facilities, and that their conduct inevitably tends to influence military discipline.}} {{smaller block|The prosecution by court-martial for capital crimes committed by civilian dependents of members of the Armed Forces abroad is hardly to be deemed; under modern conditions, obviously appropriate to the effective exercise of the power to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces when it is a question of deciding what power is granted under article I. and, therefore, what restriction is made on article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. I do not think that the proximity, physical and social, of these women to the land and naval forces is, with due regard to all that has been put before us, so clearly demanded by the effective Government and regulation of those forces as reasonably to demonstrate a justification for court-martial jurisdiction over capital offenses.}} {{smaller block|The Government speaks of the “great potential impact on military discipline” of these accompanying civilian dependents. This cannot be denied, nor should its implications be minimized. But the notion that discipline over military personnel is to be furthered by subjecting their civilian dependents to the threat of capital punishment imposed by court-martial is too hostile to the reasons that underlie the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights for those safeguards to be displaced. It is true that military discipline might be affected seriously if civilian dependents could commit murders and other capital crimes with impunity. No one, however, challenges the availability to Congress of a power to provide for trial and punishment of these dependents for such crimes. The method of trial alone is in issue. The Government suggests that if trial in an article III. court subject to the restrictions of the fifth and sixth amendments is the only alternative, such a trial could not be held abroad practicably, and it would often be equally impracticable to transport all the witnesses back to the United States for trial. But although there is no need to pass on that issue in this case, trial in the United States is obviously not the only practical alternative and other alternatives may raise different constitutional questions. The Government’s own figures for the Army show that the total number of civilians (all civilians serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces overseas and not merely civilian dependents) for whom general courts-martial for alleged murder were deemed advisable was only 13 in the 7 fiscal years, 1950–56. It is impossible to ascertain from the figures supplied to us exactly how many persons were tried for other capital offenses, but the figures indicate that there could not have been many. There is nothing to indicate that the figures for the other services are more substantial. It thus appears to be a manageable problem within the procedural restrictions found necessary by this opinion.}} {{smaller block|A further argument is made that a decision adverse to the Government would mean that only a foreign trial could be had. Even assuming that the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, (4 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 1792, T. I. A. S. No. 2846) covering countries where a large part of our Armed Forces are stationed, gives jurisdiction to the United States only through its military authorities, this court cannot speculate that any given nation would be unwilling to grant or continue such extraterritorial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in capital cases if they were to be tried by some other manner than court-martial. And even if such were the case, these civilian dependents would then merely be in the same position as are so many Federal employees and their dependents and other United States citizens who are subject to the laws of foreign nations when residing there. See also the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, ''supra'', article VII., sections 2, 3.}} {{smaller block|The Government makes the final argument that these civilian dependents are part of the United States military contingent abroad in the eyes of the foreign nations concerned and that their conduct may have a profound effect on our relations with these countries, with a consequent effect on the Military Establishment there. But the argument that military courts-martial in capital cases are necessitated by this factor assumes either that a military court-martial constitutes a stronger deterrent to this sort of conduct or that in the absence of such a trial no punishment would be meted out and our foreign policy thereby injured. The reasons why these considerations carry no conviction have already been indicated.}} {{smaller block|I therefore conclude that in capital cases the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in time of peace cannot be justified by article I., considered in connection with the specific protections of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|Since the conclusion thus reached differs from what the Court decided last term, a decent respect for the judicial process calls for reexamination of the two grounds that then prevailed. The court sustained its action on the authority of the cases dealing with the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for the territories, reinforced by ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453), in which this Court, in 1891, sustained the criminal jurisdiction of a consular court in Japan. These authorities grew out of, and related to, specific situations very different from those now here. They do not control or even embarrass the problem before us.}} {{smaller block|Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific judicial origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the purposes they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots. Doctrines like those expressed by the Ross case and the series of cases beginning with ''American Insurance Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511), must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion. “If a precedent involving a black horse is applied to a case involving a white horse, we are not excited. If it were an elephant or an animal ''ferae naturae'' or a chose in action, then we would venture into thought. The difference might make a difference. We really are concerned about precedents chiefly when their facts differ somewhat from the facts in the case at bar. Then there is a gulf or hiatus that has to be bridged by a concern for principle and a concern for practical results and practical wisdom.” Thomas Reed Powell, Vagaries and Varieties in Constitutional Interpretation 36. This attitude toward precedent underlies the whole system of our case law. It was thus summarized by Mr. Justice Brandeis: “It is a peculiar virtue of our system of law that the process of inclusion and exclusion, so often employed in developing a rule, is not allowed to end with its enunciation and that an expression in an opinion yields later to the impact of facts unforeseen.” ''Jaybird Mining Co.'' v. ''Weir'' (271 U. S. 609, 619 (dissenting)). Especially is this attitude to be observed in constitutional controversies.}} {{smaller block|The Territorial cases relied on by the Court last term held that certain specific constitutional restrictions on the Government did not automatically apply in the acquired Territories of Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, or Puerto Rico. In these cases, the Court drew its decisions from the power of Congress to “make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory * * * belonging to the United States,” for which provision is made in article IV., section 3. The United States from time to time acquired lands in which many of our laws and customs found an uncongenial soil because they ill accorded with the history and habits of their people. Mindful of all relevant provisions of the Constitution and not allowing one to frustrate another—which is the guiding thought of this opinion—the Court found it necessary to read article IV., section 3 together with the fifth and sixth amendments and article III. in the light of those circumstances. The question arose most frequently with respect to the establishment of trial by jury in possessions in which such a system was wholly without antecedents. The Court consistently held with respect to such Territory that Congressional power under article IV., section 3 was not restricted by the requirement of article III., section 2, clause 3, and the sixth amendment of providing trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|“If the right to trial by jury were a fundamental right which goes wherever the jurisdiction of the United States extends; or if Congress, in framing laws for outlying territory belonging to the United States, was obliged to establish that system by affirmative legislation, it would follow that, no matter what the needs or capacities of the people, trial by jury, and in no other way, must be forthwith established, although the result may be to work injustice and provoke disturbance rather than to aid the orderly administration of justice. If the United States, impelled by its duty or advantage, shall acquire territory peopled by savages, and of which it may dispose or not hold for ultimate admission to statehood, if this doctrine is sound, it must establish there the trial by jury. To state such a proposition demonstrates the impossibility of carrying it into practice. Again, if the United States shall acquire by treaty the cession of territory having an established system of jurisprudence, where jury trials are unknown, but a method of fair and orderly trial prevails under an acceptable and long-established code, the preference of the people must be disregarded, their established customs ignored, and they themselves coerced to accept, in advance of incorporation into the United States, a system of trial unknown to them and unsuited to their needs. We do not think it was intended, in giving power to Congress to make regulations for the territories, to hamper its exercise with this condition.” ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138, 148.)}} {{smaller block|The fundamental right test is the one which the Court has consistently enunciated in the long series of cases—''e. g.'', ''American Ins. Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511); ''De Lima'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 1); ''Downes'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 244); ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138); ''Balzac'' v. ''Porto Rico'' (258 U. S. 298)—dealing with claims of constitutional restrictions on the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for governing the unincorporated territories. The process of decision appropriate to the problem led to a detailed examination of the relation of the specific territory to the United States. This examination, in its similarity to analysis in terms of due process, is essentially the same as that to be made in the present cases in weighing Congressional power to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces against the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments.}} {{smaller block|The results in the cases that arose by reason of the acquisition of exotic territory do not control the present cases for the territorial cases rest specifically—on article IV., section 3, which is a grant of power to Congress to deal with territory and other Government property. Of course the power sought to be exercised in Great Britain and Japan does not relate to territory. The Court’s opinions in the territorial cases did not lay down a broad principle that the protective provisions of the Constitution do not apply outside the continental limits of the United States. This Court considered the particular situation in each newly acquired territory to determine whether the grant to Congress of power to govern territory was restricted by a specific provision of the Constitution. The territorial cases, in the emphasis put by them on the necessity for considering the specific circumstances of each particular case, are thus relevant in that they provide an illustrative method for harmonizing constitutional provisions which appear, separately considered, to be conflicting.}} {{smaller block|The Court last term relied on a second source of authority, the consular court case, ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). Pursuant to a treaty with Japan, Ross, a British subject but a member of the crew of a United States ship, was tried and convicted in a consular court in Yokohama for murder of a fellow seaman while the ship was in Yokohama Harbor. His application for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to a United States circuit court was denied, 44 F. 185, and on appeal here, the judgment was affirmed. This Court set forth the ground of the circuit court, “the long and uniform acquiescence by the executive, administrative, and legislative departments of the Government in the validity of the legislation,” 140th United States Reports, at page 461, and then stated:}} {{smaller block|“The circuit court might have found an additional ground for not calling in question the legislation of Congress, in the uniform practice of civilized governments for centuries to provide consular tribunals in other than Christian countries * * * for the trial of their own subjects or citizens for offenses committed in those countries, as well as for the settlement of civil disputes between them; and in the uniform recognition, down to the time of the formation of our Government, of the fact that the establishment of such tribunals was among the most important subjects for treaty stipulations. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The treatymaking power vested in our Government extends to all proper subjects of negotiation with foreign governments. It can, equally with any of the former or present governments of Europe, make treaties providing for the exercise of judicial authority in other countries by its officers appointed to reside therein.}} {{smaller block|“We do not understand that any question is made by counsel as to its power in this respect. His objection is to the legislation by which such treaties are carried out * * *.}} {{smaller block|“By the Constitution a government is ordained and established ‘for the United States of America,’ and not for countries outside of their limits. The guarantees it affords against accusation of capital or infamous crimes, except by indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and, for an impartial trial by a jury when thus accused, apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad. * * * The Constitution can have no operation in another country. When, therefore, the representatives or officers of our Government are permitted to exercise authority of any kind in another country, it must be on such conditions as the two countries may agree, the laws of neither one being obligatory upon the other. The deck of a private American vessel, it is true, is considered for many purposes constructively as territory of the United States, yet persons on board of such vessels, whether officers, sailors, or passengers, cannot invoke the protection of the provisions referred to until brought within the actual territorial boundaries of the United States.” (140 U. S., at 462–464.)}} {{smaller block|One observation should be made at the outset about the grounds for decision in Ross. Insofar as the opinion expressed a view that the Constitution is not operative outside the United States—and apparently Mr. Justice Field meant by “United States” all lands over which the United States flag flew, see John W. Burgess, How May the United States Govern Its Extra-Continental Territory? (14 Pol. Sci. Q. 1 (1899))—it expressed a notion that has long since evaporated. Governmental action abroad is performed under both the authority and the restrictions of the Constitution—for example, proceedings before American military tribunals, whether in Great Britain or in the United States, are subject to the applicable restrictions of the Constitution. See opinions in ''Burns'' v. ''Wilson'' (346 U. S. 137).}} {{smaller block|The significance of the Ross case and its relevance to the present cases cannot be assessed unless due regard is accorded the historical context in which that case was decided. Ross is not rooted in any abstract principle or comprehensive theory touching constitutional power or its restrictions. It was decided with reference to a very particular, practical problem with a long history. To be mindful of this does not attribute to Mr. Justice Field’s opinion some unavowed historical assumption. On behalf of the whole court, he spelled out the considerations that controlled it:}} {{smaller block|“The practice of European governments to send officers to reside in foreign countries, authorized to exercise a limited jurisdiction over vessels and seamen of their country, to watch the interests of their countrymen and to assist in adjusting their disputes and protecting their commerce, goes back to a very early period, even preceding what are termed the Middle Ages. * * * In other than Christian countries they were, by treaty stipulations, usually clothed with authority to hear complaints against their countrymen and to sit in judgment upon them when charged with public offenses. After the rise of Islamism, and the spread of its followers over eastern Asia and other countries bordering on the Mediterranean, the exercise of this judicial authority became a matter of great concern. The intense hostility of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to Christians, affected all their intercourse, and all proceedings had in their tribunals. Even the rules of evidence adopted by them placed those of different faith on unequal grounds in any controversy with them. For this cause, and by reason of the barbarous and cruel punishments inflicted in those countries, and the frequent use of torture to enforce confession from parties accused, it was a matter of deep interest to Christian governments to withdraw the trial of their subjects, when charged with the commission of a public offence, from the arbitrary and despotic action of the local officials. Treaties conferring such jurisdiction upon these consuls were essential to the peaceful residence of Christians within those countries and the successful prosecution of commerce with their people.” One Hundred and Fortieth United States Reports, at page 463.}} {{smaller block|“It is true that the occasion for consular tribunals in Japan may hereafter be less than at present, as every year that country progresses in civilization and in the assimilation of its system of judicial procedure to that of Christian countries, as well as in the improvement of its penal statutes; but the system of consular tribunals * * * is of the highest importance, and their establishment in other than. Christian countries, where our people may desire to go in pursuance of commerce, will often be essential for the protection of their persons and property” (''id.'', at 480).}} {{smaller block|It is important to have a lively sense of this background before attempting to draw on the Ross case. Historians have traced grants of extraterritorial rights as far back as the permission given by Egypt in the 12th or 13th century {{asc|B. C.}} to the merchants of Tyre to establish factories on the Nile and to live under their own law and practice their own religion. Numerous other instances of persons living under their own law in foreign lands existed in the later pre-Christian era and during the Roman Empire and the so-called Dark and Middle Ages—Greeks in Egypt, all sorts of foreigners in Rome, inhabitants of Christian cities and states in the Byzantine Empire, the Latin kingdoms of the Levant, and other Christian cities and states, Mohammedans in the Byzantine Empire and China, and many others lived in foreign lands under their own law. While the origins of this extraterritorial jurisdiction may have differed in each country, the notion that law was for the benefit of the citizens of a country and its advantages not for foreigners appears to have been an important factor. Thus, there existed a long-established custom of extraterritorial jurisdiction at the beginning of the 15th century when the complete conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire substantially altered political relations between Christian Europe and the Near East. But commercial relations continued, and in 1535 Francis I. of France negotiated a treaty with Suleiman I. of Turkey that provided for numerous extraterritorial rights, including criminal and civil jurisdiction over all disputes among. French subjects. (1 Ernest Charriere, Negotiations de la France dans le Levant 283.) Other nations and eventually the United States in 1830 (8 Stat. 408), later negotiated similar treaties with the Turks. (For a more complete history of the development of extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction, see 1 Calvo, Le Droit International Theorique et Pratique (5th ed., Rousseau, 1896), 2–18, 2 ''id.'', 9–12; Hinckley, American Consular Jurisdiction in the Orient, 1–9; 1 Miltitz, Manuel des Consuls passim; Ravndal, The Origin of the Capitulations and of the Consular Jurisdiction, S. Doc. No. 34, 67th Cong., 1st sess. 5–45, 56–96; Shih Shun Liu, Extraterritoriality, 23–66; Twiss, The Law of Nations (1884 ed.), 443–457.)}} {{smaller block|The emergence of the nation-state in Europe and the growth of the doctrine of absolute territorial sovereignty changed the nature of extraterritorial rights. No longer were strangers to be denied the advantages of local law. Indeed, territorial sovereignty meant the exercise of sovereignty over all residents within the borders of the state, and the system of extraterritorial consular jurisdiction tended to die out among Christian nations in the 18th and 19th centuries. But a new justification was found for the continuation of that jurisdiction in those countries whose systems of justice were considered inferior, and it was this strong feeling with respect to Moslem and Far Eastern countries that was reflected, as we have seen, in the Ross opinion.}} {{smaller block|Until 1842, China had asserted control over all foreigners within its territory (Shih Shun Liu, ''op. cit.'', ''supra'', 76–89) but, as a result of the Opium War, Great Britain negotiated a treaty with China whereby she obtained consular offices in five open ports and was granted extraterritorial rights over her citizens. On July 3, 1844, Caleb Cushing negotiated a similar treaty on behalf of the United States (8 Stat. 592). In a letter to Secretary of State Calhoun, he explained: “I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations—in a word a Christian state.” Quoted in 7 Op. Atty. Gen. 495, 496–497. Later treaties continued the extraterritorial rights of the United States, and the treaty of 1903 contained the following article demonstrating the purpose of those rights:}} {{smaller block|“The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of western nations, the United States agrees to give every assistance to such reform and will also be prepared to relinquish extra-territorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in doing so” (33 Stat. 2208, 2215).}} {{smaller block|The first treaty with Japan was negotiated by Commodore Perry in 1854 (11 Stat. 597). It opened two ports, but did not provide for any exercise of judicial powers by United States officials. Under the treaty of 1857 (11 Stat. 723), such power was given, and later treaties, which opened up further Japanese cities for trade and residence by United States citizens, retained these rights. The treaty of 1894, effective on July 17, 1899, however, ended these extraterritorial rights and Japan, even though a non-Christian nation, came to occupy the same status as Christian nations (29 Stat. 848). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction by consuls over United States citizens was also provided for, at one time or another, in treaties with Borneo (10 Stat. 909, 910); Siam (11 Stat. 683, 684); Madagascar (15 Stat. 491, 492); Samoan Islands (20 Stat. 704); Korea (23 Stat. 720, 721); Tonga Islands (25 Stat. 1440, 1442) and, by virtue of most-favored-nation clauses; in treaties with Tripoli (8 Stat. 154); Persia (11 Stat. 709); the Congo (27 Stat. 926); and Ethiopia (33 Stat. 2254). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction was also provided for in a treaty with Morocco (8 Stat. 100), by virtue of a most-favored-nation clause and by virtue of a clause granting jurisdiction if “any citizens of the United States * * * shall have any disputes with each other.” The word “disputes” has been interpreted by the International Court of Justice to comprehend criminal as well as civil disputes. ''France'' v. ''United States'' (I. C. J. Rept. 1952, p. 176, 188–189.) The treaties with Algiers (8 Stat. 133, 224, 244); Tunis (8 Stat. 157); and Muscat (8 Stat. 458) contained similar disputes clauses.}} {{smaller block|The judicial power exercised by consuls was defined by statute and was sweeping:}} {{smaller block|“Jurisdiction in both criminal and civil matters shall, in all cases, be exercised and enforced in conformity with the laws of the United States, which are hereby, so far as is necessary to execute such treaties, respectively, and so far as they are suitable to carry the same into effect, extended over all citizens of the United States in those countries, and over all others to the extent that the terms of the treaties, respectively, justify or require. But in all cases where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” (Rev. Stat. sec. 4086.)}} {{smaller block|The consuls, then, exercised not only executive and judicial power, but legislative power as well.}} {{smaller block|The number of people subject to the jurisdiction of these courts during their most active periods appears to have been fairly small. In the Chronicle & Directory for China, Japan, and the Philippines, for the year 1870, there is a listing of the total number of foreign, not just United States, residents in these three places. The list is 81 pages long, with a total of some 4,500 persons (pp. 54–134). This same publication gives the following information about Japan. “The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of * * * 38 Americans * * * and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number * * * about 80 [were] Americans. * * * At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the Government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January 1866: * * * American citizens, 32. * * * A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there * * *.” (Appendix, p. 353.) The statesman’s Yearbook of 1890 shows: China at the end of 1888: 1,020 Americans (p. 411); Japan in 1887, 711 Americans (p. 709); Morocco; 1889 estimate: “The number of Christians is very small, not exceeding 1,500” (p. 739). The Statesman’s Yearbook of 1901 shows: China at the end of 1899: 2,335 Americans (p. 484); Japan, December 31, 1898, just before the termination of our extraterritorial rights: 1,165 Americans (p. 809); Morocco: “The number of Christians does not exceed 6,000; the Christian population of Tangier alone probably amounts to 5,000” (p. 851). These figures of course do not include those civilians temporarily in the country coming within consular jurisdiction.}} {{smaller block|The consular court jurisdiction, then, was exercised in countries whose legal systems at the time were considered so inferior that justice could not be obtained in them by our citizens. The existence of these courts was based on long-established custom and they were justified as the best possible means for securing justice for the few Americans present in those countries. The Ross case, therefore, arose out of, and rests on, very special, confined circumstances, and cannot be applied automatically to the present situation, involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens in countries with civilized systems of justice. If Congress had established consular courts or some other nonmilitary procedure for trial that did not contain all the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments for the trial of civilian dependents of military personnel abroad, we would be forced to a detailed analysis of the situation of the civilian dependent population abroad in deciding whether the Ross case should be extended to cover such a case. It is not necessary to do this in the present cases in view of our decision that the form or trial here provided cannot constitutionally be justified.}} {{smaller block|The Government, apparently recognizing the constitutional basis for the decision in Ross, has, on rehearing, sought to show that civilians in general and civilian dependents in particular have been subject to military order and discipline ever since the colonial period. The materials it has submitted seem too episodic, too meager, to form a solid basis in history, preceding and contemporaneous with the framing of the Constitution, for constitutional adjudication. What has been urged on us falls far too short of proving a well-established practice—to be deemed to be infused into the Constitution—of court-martial jurisdiction, certainly not in capital cases, over such civilians in time of peace.}} Mr. President, the decision which I have read in the {{sc|Record}} is in the case of Curtis Reid, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Jail, Appellant, against Clarice B. Covert, and Nina Kinsella, Warden of the Federal Reformatory for Women, Alderson, W. Va., petitioner, against Walter Krueger. The opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice Black, was concurred in by the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan. It pointed out clearly that even though the court-martial so provided, the jury trial could not be denied to civilians accompanying the Armed Forces. It is very clear on that point. There was a concurring opinion, which I have just included in the {{sc|Record}}, by Justice Frankfurter, which upholds that contention. There is no question that under the United States Constitution citizens are entitled to a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the discretion of a Federal judge to say whether he is going to grant a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the Congress to say that if the punishment is only a $300 fine or 45 days imprisonment we will let the judge try the case, but if it is above that the defendant can get a jury trial. That simply does not make sense. It violates the Constitution and is in derogation of the administration of justice in this country. As someone has said, it is a split-level statute. Mr. President, on May 9, 1957, before the mountain and plain regional meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colo., Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., of the Supreme Court, made an address on our judicial systems. In this address he discussed the advantages of our traditional jury-trial system. Because of the clear, straightforward nature of this address, I want to quote the following statement made by Justice Brennan. This is what he said: {{smaller block|We hear much, for example, of the proposal that we turn all automobile-accident litigation over to an administrative agency. The idea is that, because automobile litigation accounts for a major part of court business, the simple solution is to dispose of the problem by throwing it out the window. What an abject abdication of our profession’s responsibility to provide judicial justice for our citizens. But, at best, there is utterly no hope for that idea, at least not in our lifetimes, when the job of judicial reform must be done. It will be a long day before our society will pay the price of damages for every automobile injury or death without regard to the fault of the person injured or killed. There is no true analogy between compensation for the injured workman who helps produce goods or services for profit, where the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods or services, and compensation to the automobile victim, where the cost would have to be borne by all of us.}} {{smaller block|Another nostrum is that, because jury trials take more time than trials before a judge without a jury, the easy answer to calendar congestion is to get rid of jury trials in automobile accident cases. Actual studies are being made to prove that the average jury trial in a negligence case takes more time than a nonjury trial of a negligence case. I question the need for a study to prove something that every judge and lawyer knows. Of course jury trials usually take more time than nonjury trials. But those who propose this suggest also that fairer justice will result if a judge, unprejudiced for one side or the other—they really mean that juries are prejudiced in favor of plaintiffs—disposes of them. I doubt that that proposition can withstand analysis. As a trial judge I was always interested in how often the jury brought in the same verdict on liability that I would have reached. And that seems to be the experience of trial judges generally. A recent survey proved that in upwards of 85 percent of the cases the trial judge reported that the jury reached the result on liability that he would have reached. Moreover, the idea that juries go haywire in fixing damages where plaintiffs prevail should be looked at a little more closely. I think at least that judge-decided verdicts under the Federal Tort Claims Act (no jury trial is had under that act) do not persuade the Department of Justice that juries are any less conscientious in fixing damages. I know that at times juries do go overboard. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the instances in my time as a trial judge when I felt it necessary to set aside verdicts because they had done so. My experience left me with the definite impression that jurors almost always do try to fix damages within allowable limits.}} {{smaller block|I think, at all events, this proposal to abolish jury trials in automobile accident cases also faces an almost insurmountable hurdle. The success of our British brothers in abolishing jury trials should not mislead us. American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. Perhaps the emotion generated by proposals to modify or deny the right has its roots in the Jacksonian era of distrust of the legal profession and the insistence upon the people’s control of the administration of justice. Perhaps it is a survival of the same thing which gave us the elective system of judges in most States and in some, as in my own, New Jersey, actual lay participation on the bench. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of the preservation of their liberties. The road of him who would take away jury trial in automobile accident cases is a long and rocky one.}} {{smaller block|I submit that it is a sorry response to the litigant who suffers from long delay in having his accident suit tried that we can offer no relief beyond “let’s throw accident litigation out of the courts,” or “let’s deny the victim the right of a jury trial.” Our profession must stand up and reject those nostrums. We know now that there are judicial structures and techniques of judicial administration which not only can cope with problems of calendar control but to far more {{SIC|signficant|significant}} purposes can also measurably assist in our ceaseless striving to give better justice. Our need is to get up our courage to fight for these things and to do battle with the powerfully entrenched opponents of any reform who too often take their position out of self-interest without sufficient consideration of what is best in the people’s interest. It doubtless is true that achievement of a modernized, efficient judicial structure requires far-reaching legislative and constitutional changes in most jurisdictions. But, far better to do the arduous labor of getting that essential job done than to promote equally drastic changes which are nothing more than a humiliating confession of defeat.}} {{smaller block|Let us not forget that the integrity and efficiency of the judicial process is the first essential in a democratic society. The confidence of the people in the administration of justice is a prime requisite for free representative government. The public entrusts the legal profession with the sacred mission of dealing with the vital affairs that affect the whole pattern of human relations and certainly has a stake entitling it to demand not only that judges dispense justice impartially and fairly but also that judicial business shall be handled and disposed of by a modernized process which assures a minimum of friction and waste, for such a process also plays a large role in the achievement of impartial and fair justice for all litigants. There is actually no difference between the business of judicial administration and the business of running an industrial or commercial enterprise in the sense that the efficient and businesslike conduct of each means better service for the public. An inefficient and wasteful judicial administration actually can and often does result in a denial of justice, however earnestly an honest and upright judge may strive to prevent that lamentable result.}} {{smaller block|I think it is not difficult to account for today’s heightened interest on the part of the general public throughout our Nation and, indeed, the Free World in the improvement of the process for administering justice. That growing interest is in large measure a product of the tumultuous times in which we live. For these are not only times which have produced a monstrous threat to all freedom, but, by the very reason of that threat, are times which have induced in free peoples everywhere an ever intensifying critical self-examination of the institutions upon which their freedoms depend—an insistence upon exposure of the imperfections of those institutions, a peremptory demand upon those who are entrusted with those institutions to improve and strengthen them the more surely to withstand the onslaught bent upon their destruction. It is but natural then that the judicial process should come under examination, for never was it more true than today that “Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.”}} Mr. President, I submit, just as Justice Brennan has quoted here, which never was more true than today: {{smaller block|Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.}} I contend that since our forefathers placed in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights provisions which are so plain it seems no one could misinterpret them, providing for trial by jury in criminal cases, there can be no question that jury trials are not only desirable but are demanded under the Constitution. There should be no doubt in the mind of anyone, if he studies the Constitution, that the so-called compromise which tends to compromise the Constitution of the United States is not a just, is not a fair, is not a wise, and is not a constitutional provision, and that this bill should be killed. Mr. President, one of the most interesting books ever written on the American system of Government was by Alexis de Tocqueville, a young Frenchman who wrote a book entitled “Democracy in America” after visiting this country during the 1830s. One of the chapters of his book was entitled “Trial by Jury in the United States Considered as a Political Institution.” I shall read excerpts from this chapter because it provides an excellent insight into the prestige attained by the system of jury trial from the observation of an unbiased observer. {{smaller block|[From de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” written after visiting America in the 1830s.]}} {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Trial by Jury in the United States Constitution as a Political Institution}}}}}} {{smaller block|Trial by jury, which is one of the forms of the sovereignty of the people, ought to be compared with the other laws which establish that sovereignty: Composition of the jury in the United States; effect of trial by jury upon the national character; it educates the people; how it tends to establish the influence of the magistrates and to extend the legal spirit among the people.}} {{smaller block|Since my subject has led me to speak of the administration of justice in the United States, I will not pass over it without referring to the institution of the jury. Trial by jury may be considered in two separate points of view: as a judicial, and as a political institution. * * *}} {{smaller block|My present purpose is to consider the jury as a political institution; any other course would divert me from my subject. Of trial by jury considered as a judicial institution I shall here say but little. When the English adopted trial by jury, they were a semi-barbarous people; they have since become one of the most enlightened nations of the earth, and their attachment to this institution seems to have increased with their increasing cultivation. They have emigrated and colonized every part of the habitable globe; some have formed colonies, others independent states; the mother country has maintained its monarchial constitution; many of its offspring have founded powerful republics; but everywhere they have boasted of the privilege of trial by jury. They have established it, or hastened to reestablish it, in all their settlements. A judicial institution which thus obtains the suffrages of a great people for so long a series of ages, which is zealously reproduced at every stage of civilization, in all the climates of the earth, and under every form of human {{SIC|govment|government}}, cannot be contrary to the spirit of justice.}} {{smaller block|But to leave this part of the subject. It would be a very narrow view to look upon the jury as a mere judicial institution; for however great its influence may be upon the decisions of the courts, it is still greater on the destinies of society at large. The jury is, above all, a political institution, and it must be regarded in this light in order to be duly appreciated.}} {{smaller block|By the jury I mean a certain number of citizens chosen by lot and invested with a temporary right of judging. Trial by jury, as applied to the repression of crime, appears to me an eminently republican element in the government, for the following reasons.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury may be aristocratic or democratic, according to the class from which the jurors are taken; but it always preserves its republican character, in that it places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed, or of a portion of the governed, and not in that of the government. Force is never more than a transient element of success, and after force comes the notion of right. A government able to reach its enemies only upon a field of battle would soon be destroyed. The true sanction of political laws is to be found in penal legislation; and if that sanction is wanting, the law will sooner or later lose its cogency. He who punishes the criminal is therefore the real master of society. Now, the institution of the jury raises the people itself, or at least a class of citizens, to the bench of judges. The institution of the jury consequently invests the people, or that class of citizens, with the direction of society.}} {{smaller block|In England the jury is selected from the aristocratic portion of the nation; the aristocracy makes the laws, applies the laws, and punishes infractions of the laws; everything is established upon a consistent footing, and England may with truth be said to constitute an aristocratic republic. In the United States the same system is applied to the whole people. Every American citizen is both an eligible and a legally qualified voter. The jury system as it is understood in America appears to me to be as direct and as extreme a consequence of the sovereignty of the people as universal suffrage. They are two instruments of equal power, which contribute to the supremacy of the majority. All the sovereigns who have chosen to govern by their own authority, and to direct society instead of obeying its directions, have destroyed or enfeebled the institution of the jury. The Tudor monarchs sent to prison jurors who refused to convict, and Napoleon caused them to be selected by his agents.}} {{smaller block|However clear most of these truths may seem to be, they do not command universal assent; and in France, at least, trial by jury is still but imperfectly understood. If the question arises as to the proper qualification of jurors, it is confined to a discussion of the intelligence and knowledge of the citizens who may be returned, as if the jury was merely a judicial institution. This appears to me the least important part of the subject. The jury is preeminently a political institution; it should be regarded as one form of the sovereignty of the people; when that sovereignty is repudiated, it must be rejected, or it must be adapted to the laws by which that sovereignty is established. The jury is that portion of the nation to which the execution of the laws is entrusted, as the legislature is that part of the nation which makes the laws; and in order that society may be governed in a fixed and uniform manner, the list of citizens qualified to serve on juries must increase and diminish with the list of electors. This I hold to be the point of view most worthy of the attention of the legislator; all that remains is merely accessory.}} {{smaller block|I am so entirely convinced that the jury is preeminently a political institution that I still consider it in this light when it is applied in civil causes. Laws are always unstable unless they are founded upon the customs of a nation; customs are the only durable and resisting power in a people. When the jury is reserved for criminal offenses, the people witness only its occasional action in particular cases; they become accustomed to do without it in the ordinary course of life, and it is considered as an instrument, but not as the only instrument, of obtaining justice.}} {{smaller block|When, on the contrary, the jury acts also on civil causes, its application is constantly visible; it affects all the interests of the community; everyone cooperates in its work; it thus penetrates into all the usages of life, it fashions the human mind to its peculiar forms, and is gradually associated with the idea of justice itself.}} {{smaller block|The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and man. If it had been as easy to remove the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have perished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that period save the liberties of England. In whatever manner the jury be applied, it cannot fail to exercise a powerful influence upon the national character; but this influence ts prodigiously increased when it is introduced into civil causes. The jury, and more especially the civil jury, serves to communicate the spirit of the judges to the minds of all the citizens; and this spirit, with the habits which attend it, is the soundest preparation for free institutions. It imbues all classes with a respect for the thing judged and with the notion of right. If these two elements be removed, the love of independence becomes a mere destructive passion. It teaches men to practice equity; every man learns to judge his neighbor as he would himself be judged. And this is especially true of the jury in civil causes; for while the number of persons who have reason to apprehend a criminal prosecution is small, everyone is liable to have a lawsuit. The jury teaches every man not to recoil before the responsibility of his own actions and impresses him with that manly confidence without which no political virtue can exist. It invests each citizen with a kind of magistracy; it makes them all feel the duties which they are bound to discharge toward society and the part which they take in its government. By obliging men to turn their attention to other affairs than their own, it rubs off that private selfishness which is the rust of society.}} {{smaller block|The jury contributes powerfully to form the judgment and to increase the natural intelligence of a people; and this, in my opinion, is its greatest advantage. It may be regarded as a gratuitous public school, ever open, in which every juror learns his rights, enters into daily communication with the most learned and enlightened members of the upper classes, and becomes practically acquainted with the laws, which are brought within the reach of his capacity by the efforts of the bar, the advice of the judge, and even the passions of the parties. I think that the practical intelligence and political good sense of the Americans are mainly attributable to the long use that they have made of the jury in civil causes.}} {{smaller block|I do not know whether the jury is useful to those who have lawsuits, but I am certain it is highly beneficial to those who judge them; and I look upon it as one of the most efficacious means for the education of the people which society can employ.}} {{smaller block|What I have said applies to all nations, but the remark I am about to make is peculiar to the Americans and to democratic communities. I have already observed that in democracies the members of the legal profession and the judicial magistrates constitute the only aristocratic body which can moderate the movements of the people. This aristocracy is invested with no physical power; it exercises its conservative influence upon the minds of men; and the most abundant source of its authority is the institution of the civil jury. In criminal causes, when society is contending against a single man, the jury is apt to look upon the judge as the passive instrument of social power and to mistrust his advice. Moreover, criminal causes turn entirely upon simple facts, which commonsense can readily appreciate; upon this ground the judge and the jury are equal. Such is not the case, however, in civil causes; then the judge appears as a disinterested arbiter between the conflicting passions of the parties. The jurors look up to him with confidence and listen to him with respect, for in this instance, his intellect entirely governs theirs. It is the judge who sums up the various arguments which have wearied their memory, and who guides them through the devious course of the proceedings; he points their attention to the exact question of fact that they are called upon to decide and tells them how to answer the question of law. His influence over them is almost unlimited.}} {{smaller block|If I am called upon to explain why I am but little moved by the arguments derived from the ignorance of jurors in civil causes, I reply that in these proceedings, whenever the question to be solved is not a mere question of fact, the jury has only the semblance of a judicial body. The jury only sanctions the decision of the judge; they sanction this decision by the authority of society which they represent, and he by that of reason and of law.}} {{smaller block|The jury, then, which seems to restrict the rights of the judiciary does in reality consolidate its power; and in no country are the judges so powerful as where the people share their privileges. It is especially by means of the jury in civil causes that the American magistrates imbue even the lower classes of society with the spirit of their profession. Thus the jury, which is the most energetic means of making the people rule, is also the most efficacious means of teaching it how to rule well.}} Mr. President, de Tocqueville contributed a great deal to literature and to society. He was a Frenchman who came to our country and studied our form of government. He was so impressed that he wrote the chapter on trial by jury, in which he emphasized the fact that the jury is the heart of the administration of justice in a democracy. On Friday, July 5, 1957, there was printed in the State, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C., an article quoting the then president of the American Bar Association, Mr. David F. Maxwell, on the subject of jury trials. I believe Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Philadelphia bar, of which our distinguished Presiding Officer [Mr. {{sc|Clark}}] is also a member. I am sure that the Presiding Officer, as well as the Senate, will be interested in what Mr. Maxwell had to say on the subject of jury trials, and that the views expressed by him will be of interest to everyone who believes in constitutional government. I read as follows: {{smaller block|The president of the American Bar Association today answered charges that trial by jury is an outmoded, time-consuming process which can be replaced by more efficient legal procedure.}} {{smaller block|David F. Maxwell, of Philadelphia, who heads the lawyers organization, said instead that jury trials are the ultimate protection against invasion of personal freedom.}} {{smaller block|He spoke at the diamond jubilee celebration of the State Bar of Texas.}} {{smaller block|“Too many persons today are prone to view trial by jury solely as a factfinding device, and hence expendable, if as good or better a method can be devised,” he said.}} {{smaller block|These critics are influenced, Maxwell said, by the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote that an experienced judge should be able to represent the commonsense of the community far better than the average jury.}} {{smaller block|The Pennsylvania attorney said, “Such a contention presupposes the ability of the trial judge to discard foibles and prejudices built up within himself through his personal experience and background,” adding that a group of average citizens can mete out more even justice than can the most competent and experienced judge.}} {{smaller block|“So let us in this country take warning,” he said. “The jury alone is able to function as the thin wedge of reserved power that separates our system of law from the monolithic, totalitarian despotism behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.”}} Mr. President, an editorial appeared in the Greenville (S. C.) News of June 6, 1957. It is entitled “Jury Trial Is at Heart of Rights Issue” and has this to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|The day after it was reported from Washington that the administration would protest the southern claim that the so-called civil-rights bill would deny the right to trial by jury, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate approved an amendment intended to guarantee that right to persons who might come under an injunction authorized in the proposed law.}} {{smaller block|In his several appearances before the Senate and House committees studying the various proposals, Attorney General Brownell tried to claim that a trial by jury would not be denied.

Certainly, it would be possible for the courts to deny a jury hearing and a judge, if he chose, could sit in judgment on the testimony as well as the law.}} {{smaller block|Speaking for the administration, Attorney General Brownell is taking his case to the House of Representatives, but the action of the Senate committee on Monday indicates that even a number of northern Democrats and Republicans have been convinced of the facts.}} {{smaller block|The jury trial issue came up in this way:}} {{smaller block|Among the bills included in the civil rights packages (various versions of which have been offered by the administration and by individuals and groups of Democratic and Republican Members of Congress) is one which would set up a special civil rights division of the Department of Justice.}} {{smaller block|It would be manned by a number of assistants to the Attorney General and would have the authority to initiate civil suits against persons accused of violating the civil rights of others or whom it might have reason to believe were about to violate such rights.}} {{smaller block|(At present, it is a criminal offense to violate the civil rights of another. But a person accused of violating such laws has the right to be arraigned before a grand jury and to be tried by a petit jury.)}} {{smaller block|The administration proposal—and members of both parties have supported this or made similar proposals of their own—is to transfer civil rights cases from the criminal to the civil side of the Federal courts. The Government itself would bring such suits, with or without the request of the allegedly injured persons.}} {{smaller block|The Government could ask for and obtain an injunction forbidding anyone to do certain things, such as to refuse a voting certificate to a certain person or to oppose an integration order issued against a certain school. Such action on the part of the defendant might be a violation of an injunction or it might be a violation of a criminal law on civil rights.}} {{smaller block|But in such cases, the Government would bring the individual before the judge on a charge of contempt. And the judge could convict and sentence the individual without a trial by jury.}} {{smaller block|That is what prompted the southern amendment to the bill aimed at assuring a jury trial. And that is the principle Mr. Brownell is assailing in his statements to Congress.}} {{smaller block|He does not deny that trial by jury would be denied the defendants. He merely says the amendment would make the bill ineffective and would weaken the power of the Federal courts to enforce their orders. He says this power to punish for contempt has long been available to the Government in other Federal cases.}} {{smaller block|That much is true. When the Government brings a civil suit and obtains an injunction, contempt can be adjudged and punished without a jury. But these are cases entirely different from those Mr. Brownell proposes to bring in the name of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|In this instance, Mr. Brownell is trying to do in a roundabout way what the Constitution forbids him to do directly; that is, try and convict a person for an alleged crime without a jury.}} Mr. President, here is an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of April 17, 1957. It is entitled “Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} Understands Threat to Liberty in Civil-Rights Bill” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Speaking at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society in Charleston, March 18, 1947, Senator {{sc|Joseph C. O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, stressed the fact that the United States has repudiated the doctrine of arbitrary power.}} {{smaller block|This week, 10 years after he made this statement, Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} gave evidence that he believes what he said. The Democratic Senator lined up with southern critics of the so-called civil-rights bill. He said he was in favor of a civil-rights bill but one that is conceived in justice and freedom rather than in any thought of punishment.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} told reporters that the proposed Presidential Civil Rights Commission to investigate complaints of civil-rights violations could easily do more harm than good. And with respect to another part of the bill vigorously opposed by southern Senators, he said, “I don’t think we should be afraid of a jury trial in matters of this kind.” In announcing his stand on the legislation, he said that the South has made many striking advances in racial relations, while such relations in some other parts of the country have worsened.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}’s stand on the civil-rights bill is of major significance. His statement shows that the South is gaining ground in its battle to convince other regions that the force bills are a threat to the liberties of all Americans.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is not a western conservative like, say, Senator {{sc|Barry Goldwater}}, Republican, of Arizona, who might be expected to line up with southern conservatives. The Senator from Wyoming is a western liberal and an old-time supporter of the New Deal. Hence his acceptance of some of the southern constitutional arguments is all the more meaningful.}} {{smaller block|If Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is convinced that the right to jury trial and other parts of our heritage are being threatened by the civil-rights bill, the likelihood of convincing other northern and western Senators is considerable.}} {{smaller block|In order to overcome the propaganda barriers of the NAACP and convince these Senators, the South must continue to argue its case—and on the highest level. Senator {{sc|Sam Ervin}} of North Carolina has done especially fine work this session in accomplishing just that.}} {{smaller block|The other task facing southerners is that of insisting on respect for law and order throughout our region. The enemies of the South must not have any excuse for urging Federal intervention. Hoodlumism must be put down. The ignorant elements who join the Ku Klux Klan must be made to realize they are under the eyes of local and State police. Responsible men must stay active in movements such as the citizens council, and prevent infiltration by troublemakers or hotheads.}} {{smaller block|If the South can speak with dignity in Washington and act with honesty and good sense at home, there will be more Senator O’Mahoneys who will realize southerners are fighting the good fight for American liberties.}} Mr. President, here is another article from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Trial by Jury Right of All Americans” and it appears in the June 5, 1957, issue of the News and Courier, and has this to say: {{smaller block|A guaranty of trial by jury, squeezed into a civil-rights law by vote of a Senate subcommittee, has been hailed as a southern victory.}} {{smaller block|This victory—though it is little more than solace in a string of defeats—in fact belongs to the American Republic. Southerners are not alone in danger. If the Federal Government can deprive southerners of the right of trial by jury, on the ground that they are unfair to Negroes, it can do the same to citizens of other regions on equally flimsy grounds.}} {{smaller block|Thanks to the NAACP and its political allies, defense of Negroes’ civil rights is popular today. Even at the sacrifice of rights of all citizens, restrictive laws have won serious support. The News and Courier finds biting irony in the need for Congress to guarantee the right of trial by jury. Americans have been brought up in the belief that the United States Constitution meant what it said in guaranteeing them this right.}} {{smaller block|Nowadays, the ruling clique no longer trusts ordinary people to govern themselves. Juries, they fear, will bring in unjust verdicts. The bosses prefer to entrust such delicate matters as civil rights to hand-picked Federal judges, who are screened by the Department of Justice and appointed by the President. With both national parties committed to the NAACP program, no lawyer who takes a strong stand against that program stands much chance of appointment. As older judges die or retire, Attorney General Brownell will make sure, insofar as he is able, that replacements have a “liberal” view of race.}} {{smaller block|With administration of election laws removed from the hands of elected State officials and placed under Federal appointees, government is being removed ever further from the people. The jury system, safeguard of Anglo–Saxon liberty, may yet be a victim of alien notions now gathering power in our Republic.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the May 10, 1957, issue of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “The Civil-Rights Fight and Trial-by-Jury Issue” and was written by the distinguished southern newspaperman, Dr. John Temple Graves. Here is what it has to say on the jury-trial issue: {{bc|{{smaller block|<poem>{{fqm|“}}Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight * * *”</poem>}}}} {{smaller block|Time accommodates.}} {{smaller block|Its comment on jury trials last week overlooked the Federal march of time.}} {{smaller block|Admitting that the trial-by-jury issue has come to dominate the civil-rights fight, the magazine pontificated that “the contempt citation is the judiciary’s historic enforcement tool.” It avowed that “jury trials in contempt cases have absolutely no basis in equity or constitutional law and precious little legislative sanction.”}} {{smaller block|The trick in this extraordinary statement is in Time’s small print at the bottom of the page. It explains that “with a single exception (the Norris–La Gaurdia Act covering labor disputes) trial by jury has never been required in contempt cases to which the United States has been a party.” With the United States Government proposing now to be a party to just about everything in heaven, earth, and the waters beneath—a new situation exists.}} {{smaller block|The Constitution loves the principle of trial by jury and says so over and over again. That great basic principle, rather than any technicality, is what is involved for the South.}} {{smaller block|Call it contempt or something else, let the Government be a party or not a party, what concerns us and what concerned the makers of the Constitution is that citizens in handcuffs shall not be adjudged by those who put the handcuffs on them, that the right of an accused to be properly tried in the Anglo–Saxon ideal shall not be abridged in the name of contempt or participation of the Government.}} {{smaller block|The Constitution speaks for this principle in article 3. The fifth amendment speaks for it, and the sixth, and the seventh.}} {{smaller block|Nothing in the whole instrument is more emphatic.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the April 8, 1957, issue of South, the news magazine of Dixie. It is entitled “Force Bill ‘Liberals’ Would Kill Jury Trial.” Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|It is incredible that those who like to boast that they are liberals and protectors of individual rights are crying the loudest for the currently misnamed civil-rights legislation which would deny alleged violators the right to trial by jury. The politically inspired anti-South force bill package has induced such a state of hypnosis in the self-styled liberals that they want to replace constitutional guarantees of civil liberties with their own false notions of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|If the question of race were not at issue, the very people who are pressing for passage of this abominable travesty on constitutional principle would be the first to denounce it for discarding the sacred right of trial by jury. At the outset the legislation violates the rights spelled out in article III., section 3, and by the seventh amendment, one of the historic ten making up the Bill of Rights. It would empower the United States Attorney General to seek injunctions against persons suspected of being about to violate the so-called civil-rights measure. Then a Federal judge, acting also as prosecutor and jury, would decree a whole community or State in contempt. An individual cited for contempt would be tried without a jury by the judge who cited him.}} {{smaller block|The proponents of this evil proposal know exactly what they are doing. By design they are taking away the right of jury trial. In fact, they are bold to say that if they did not set aside the right of trial by jury, they could not get convictions in the South. To allow jury trials, they say, would be to gut the bill. Attorney General Brownell is horror-struck at the thought that the no-jury-trial provision be stricken. President Eisenhower, who violates a campaign pledge made at Miami by pushing this legislation, says he would have to get Brownell’s opinion as to whether to sign or veto a civil-rights bill containing the assurance of jury trial in contempt cases. The civil strife proponents protest that this guaranty—in the Constitution which Eisenhower, Brownell, and all Congressmen are sworn to uphold—would cripple the bill. Has the President so soon forgotten that he said at Miami, 2 weeks before the election, that civil-rights problems should be handled to the greatest extent on a local and State basis?}} {{smaller block|Surely our liberals know that Hitler, Mussolini, and all tyrants from the time of King John (until forced to sign the Magna Carta) opposed jury trials because they would cripple their programs.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the April 14, 1957, issue of the Greenville, S. C., News. It is entitled “Jackie Robinson on Meet the Press: Negro Athlete Favors Jury Trials” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Jackie Robinson, Negro baseball star, when asked if he favored jury trials for civil-rights defendants, said Sunday night he would personally prefer a jury trial.}} {{smaller block|The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People strongly opposes a jury trial guaranty in criminal injunction cases arising under the bill.}} {{smaller block|Robinson is leading the NAACP’s freedom-fund campaign for a million dollars to attain first-class citizenship for all members.}} {{smaller block|The former Brooklyn Dodger told an NBC Meet the Press television panel that he did not know what the million dollars would be spent for—possibly for lawsuits against school segregation.}} {{smaller block|He said he favored the civil-rights bill but knows very little about it.}} {{smaller block|Frank Van Der Linden, this newspaper’s Washington correspondent, asked the questions about the civil-rights bill.}} This is a man, Mr. President, who favors the civil-rights bill, but even he says he favors a trial by jury. That is what the House did on this so-called compromise. In effect, they have nullified the right of trial by jury. There are very, very few instances in which a judge, when he finds a man guilty of contempt, would give a sentence of more than 45 days in prison or a fine of more than $300. That simply means the practical effect is that the jury trial has been completely nullified. As I have said earlier, and as I will say later in my address, the right of jury trial is something the Constitution grants to the citizens of the United States. The Congress does not have the authority to take the jury trial away from the people of America. Mr. President, I have an excerpt from an editorial from the August 26, 1957, issue of the Columbia (S. C.) Record. It is entitled “Jury-Trial Compromise No Compromise,” and this is what it has to say: {{smaller block|The “compromise” on the jury-trial amendment to the civil-rights bill, worked out between the House and Senate leaders of both parties, is anything but a genuine compromise. It is a nullification of the jury-trial principle, for which the southern Democrats fought so valiantly in the Senate.}} {{smaller block|The amendment written into the bill by the Senate provided that in all cases of criminal contempt defendants should be entitled to jury trials, guaranteed by the Constitution to all persons accused of crime. This applied not only to criminal contempt charges growing out of voting-right cases, but also to other criminal contempt proceedings as well.}} {{smaller block|The so-called compromise allows jury trials only in voting-rights cases and then only after a defendant has been tried and convicted without a jury trial and sentenced to more than 45 days’ imprisonment and a $300 fine. In such a case the defendant could ask for a jury trial and the case would then be tried ''de novo'' before a jury. But no jury, of course, could try such a case ''de novo'' in fact. Every juror would know that the defendant had been found guilty by a judge and given more than a minimum sentence. This is a condition precedent to a jury trial in these voting-right cases. And no jury trial under such circumstances is anything approaching the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the August 25, 1957, issue of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Jury Trial ‘Compromise’ Is False Bait in Wicked Trap for Liberty,” and here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|A proposed compromise now pending in Congress is as wicked and immoral, in our opinion, as total denial of trial by jury under Federal election laws.}} {{smaller block|Reports from Washington indicate a likelihood that the civil rights force bill may be rammed through Congress with this compromise to grease the way. Perhaps the northern scrambles for Negro votes and their “liberal” southern allies have the power in Congress to enact this hateful law. They should not get even silent support from anyone who loves the American Republic.}} {{smaller block|The compromise is really no compromise at all. It would grant the opportunity to seek a new trial before a jury by a defendant in an election case who had received a sentence greater than a $1,000 fine or 45 days in jail.}} The amount there, incidentally, Mr. President, should be corrected. Instead of a $1,000 fine, it should be a $300 fine. {{smaller block|But the size of a fine and the duration of imprisonment are not the key issue in this legislation. Penalties may be amended once the principle is set up. Besides, imprisoning State election officials even for a short time could rig the outcome of voting.}} {{smaller block|The key issue here is whether the liberty of a citizen, and the constitutional rights of the States to conduct free elections, should be sacrificed for the sake of current political advantage of national parties and politicians.}} As I have said before, Mr. President—to digress there—the only purpose of this so-called right-to-vote bill is to advance the cause of the national political parties with the minorities and to advance the cause of certain politicians. If it were not for the purpose of both parties playing to the minorities and advancing the cause of certain politicians to high offices, I do not believe this bill would ever have been introduced. It is a disgrace to the United States even to have the Congress consider such an abominable and obnoxious bill. {{smaller block|Behind this force bill lies a game of power politics. Both national parties are struggling to control the votes of herded Negroes in big northern cities and their liberal allies. These bloc voters are believed to hold the balance of political power in the United States.}} {{smaller block|Buried beneath the nauseating political greed that has produced this force bill are principles once dear to Americans. The bill has many of the earmarks of totalitarian government that the Constitution was built to prevent.}} Among these earmarks are Federal control of elections, seizing the power of the ballot box from the people most likely to be affected; substitution of judges for juries in enforcement of the law; and secrecy in working up prosecutions.}} {{smaller block|The bill would set up a powerful commission on the phony pretense of guarding voting rights of minority groups. This Commission’s actions would be shielded from public view. Persons are forbidden under penalties to make known what it is doing.

Passage of the civil-rights force bill would be a defeat for all citizens of whatever race or region, for it would help to set the stage for dictatorship and oppression. The compromise on which passage now seems to hinge is only a deceptive detail in a dirty business.}} Mr. President, I have here an excellent editorial from the Washington Evening Star of July 12, 1957. It is an editorial full of quotes, but the editor made his point well in this editorial without even having to insert his own comments. Here is what the editorial says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Brownell}} ''v.'' {{sc|Norris}}}}}} {{smaller block|Attorney General Brownell (in a letter explaining the civil-rights bill):}} {{smaller block|“Enactment of legislation providing for jury trial in contempt cases arising out of governmental litigation would undermine the authority of the Federal courts by seriously weakening their power to enforce their lawful orders. The effect of adopting current proposals for jury trial would be to weaken and undermine the authority of the Federal courts by making their every order, even when issued after due hearing and affirmed on appeal, reviewable by a local jury. * * *}} {{smaller block|“Furthermore the proposed amendment to existing procedures that is being advocated under the innocuous slogan of jury trial would permit practical nullification of the effectiveness of the proposed civil-rights legislation. The enforcement of any court order may require prompt and vigorous action if it is to be effective. Prompt action will often be vital in civil-rights cases, especially election cases, where the registration period or the election may pass while enforcement is delayed. The injection of a jury trial between an order of a court enjoining discrimination against Negroes in an election, and the enforcement of that order would provide numerous opportunities for delay beyond the time when the order could have practical effect.”}} {{smaller block|The late Senator George W. Norris (insisting on the right of trial by jury, by Congressional enactment, in every case of indirect contempt):}} {{smaller block|“I agree that any man charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.”}} I wish to repeat that statement. He said: {{smaller block|I agree that any many charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.}} Under the proposed compromise amendment which came from the House, the people will not get a jury trial. In 99 percent of the cases the judge will sentence people without a jury trial. It is said, “Well, they are able to get a jury trial if the fine is more than $300 or if the imprisonment is for more than 45 days.” That is not the point. The point is that in 99 percent of the cases the compromise would deny to the citizens a jury trial, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Congress should not be a party to violating the Constitution of the United States by passing the compromise amendment. I continue to read from the editorial: {{smaller block|“It is no answer to say that there will sometimes be juries which will not convict. That is a charge which can be made against our jury system. Every man who has tried lawsuits before juries, every man who has ever presided in court and heard jury trials, knows that juries make mistakes, as all other human beings do, and they sometimes render verdicts which seem almost obnoxious. But it is the best system I know of. I would not have it abolished; and when I see how juries will really do justice when a biased and prejudiced judge is trying to lead them astray I am confirmed in my opinion that, after all, our jury system is one which the American people, who believe in liberty and justice, will not dare to surrender. I like to have trial by jury preserved in all kinds of cases where there is a dispute of facts.”}} Mr. President, I have before me an editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) News of March 29, 1957, entitled “How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?” It reads: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?}}}}}} {{smaller block|Rather smugly, perhaps, we Americans have taken for granted our right to a trial before a jury when we stand accused of violating the law.}} {{smaller block|So fixed in our system of jurisprudence and our common concepts of justice is the jury trial that few of us ever have stopped to consider the difference between having our guilt or innocence determined by a group of ordinary citizens and having a judge, a creature of the Government, mete out justice singlehandedly, as he alone sees it.}} {{smaller block|Article III., section 2 of the United States Constitution, says that “the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.”}} {{smaller block|The sixth amendment, article VI. of the Bill of Rights, spells out further the right to the accused in criminal proceedings “to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. * * *”}} {{smaller block|It goes on to guarantee the accused the right to be informed specifically of the charges against him, to confront the witnesses against him, to subpena witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel.}} {{smaller block|The seventh amendment, article VII. of the Bill of Rights, provides that in suits at common law the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.}} {{smaller block|One would think that, with all these references in the Constitution, the right to a jury trial would be secure.

It reads: {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.}} Mr. President, I believe we are setting a very dangerous precedent when the Government can bring suits of the kind provided in the civil-rights bill, even if an individual does not complain. The Government can file a suit in behalf of an individual, even if the individual has not complained, and it can bring a suit for an individual who has complained. In either case, the Government can substitute its name in behalf of the defendant in bringing the case. Furthermore, the Government would bear the cost of prosecuting the case. The poor defendant must pay his own expense. If an individual wishes to bring a case in court, why should he not pay his own expense? Why should the Federal Government bear the expense of a person whose statement may be true or which may not be true? I can foresee untold litigation. I can see all kinds of fabrications being made in order to have cases brought. It is a dangerous bill, Mr. President. It is far more dangerous than I believe the average man on the street has been able to understand. The average man in the street does not realize what is in the bill. I cannot imagine why Members of Congress would even consider passing such a bill. Again I say that it would not even have been introduced, in my opinion, or given any consideration at all, if it were not purely a political bill. Mr. President, I have an editorial published in the Greenville (S. C.) News of February 26, 1957, entitled “Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty.” {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty}}}}}} {{smaller block|({{sc|Editor’s Note}}.—The following editorial is taken from a statement prepared by the editor of the News at the request of the Governor of South Carolina. The statement is to be offered to the subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee this afternoon by representatives of this State who are appearing in opposition to the civil-rights bills.)}} {{smaller block|The civil-rights bills of 1957, like those proposed during the last 20 years and more by individuals of both parties and by administrations of both parties, are anachronistic.}} {{smaller block|An anachronism is something that is misplaced in time. In this instance, it is a throwback to a more primitive age which is, at best, a misfit and, at worst, a destructive force in the age in which it occurs.}} {{smaller block|And when intelligent and otherwise dedicated men ignore more pressing and more serious problems and pass up greater opportunities for service to deliberately create such an anachronism, the result is bound to be tragic.}} {{smaller block|Even if we could assume, which we cannot, that the broad and untested powers these proposed laws would confer on an already oversized and unwieldy Federal bureaucracy would always be wisely and fairly administered, the need for them, if it ever existed, has long since passed.}} {{smaller block|The purposes now claimed for them have been better served by processes springing from the people themselves than ever they can be by pressure and threat of punishment imposed upon the people by an omnipotent and omnipresent “Big Brother” sort of government.}} {{smaller block|Furthermore, the instruments now proposed to protect liberty and to uplift men are such as to be capable of being used to destroy liberty and to oppress men.}} {{smaller block|To appreciate the origin of the civil-rights bills and the natural resistance to them in many parts of the country, especially the South, one must consider them in their proper perspective with past history and present trends.}} {{smaller block|To put it bluntly, this legislation grows out of a latter-day extension of the overzealous efforts of the abolitionists, who profited and were exalted during the era preceding the War Between the States. It is being pushed in the same sort of spirit that motivated the vengeant and vindictive planners and executors of the reconstruction.}} {{smaller block|Not even during the tragic and oppressive reconstruction did a Congress, which was dominated by radicals and in which the conquered South had few friends and spokesmen, see fit to enact such laws as now proposed.}} {{smaller block|There was military occupation and corrupt government imposed from Washington, but there was no permanent board of inquisitors that could be turned into an agency of harassment and intimidation. There was injustice, but there was no permanent overturning of the processes of the courts.}} {{smaller block|Purged by bloodshed of the sin of slavery, which was not his alone, nor his country’s alone, the southern white resisted the reconstruction. He resisted it because he feared, with justification, that it was intended to take from him in order to give to the Negro. He resists court-decreed integration and the civil-rights proposals for the same reason—again with justification for his fears.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|NEGRO IS MISLED}}}} {{smaller block|The Negro was misled in those days, and he is being misled now.}} {{smaller block|The end of the abominable institution of slavery was inevitable, and it could have been accomplished without fratricide and without threatening the Union and creating abiding bitterness. At its end, the Negro was led to believe he could switch from the status of slave to that of master. In some instances, for a time, he did. In others, he was promised “40 acres and a mule,” but more often than not he didn’t know what to do with the 40 acres and he never got the mule.}} {{smaller block|The Negro again is being falsely led to believe that integration will solve all of his remaining problems and that all he needs to realize the millennium is a few more court decrees and Federal laws. He has been led to believe that political largesse will bring to him those things that he can best realize by earning and exercising the rights and privileges already available to him.}} {{smaller block|Until fairly recent decades, southern whites and Negroes engaged in a pathetic sort of competition for the lesser degree of poverty, but they have made progress together and they have achieved a mutual understanding. Education and a rising prosperity were easing the old bitterness and misunderstanding and improving relations between the races at a rate that has been positively amazing.}} {{smaller block|The tragedy of this era is that, since 1954, with the Supreme Court decision in the school cases, and especially since the renewal of agitation of civil-rights legislation with almost virulent vigor, this progress has been slowed down. And the Negro stands to lose the most. The bitterness and the old suspicions are being revived.}} {{smaller block|A few years ago in a prosperous South Carolina industrial city, a joint committee of white and Negro citizens conducted a survey of the needs of the Negro community, ranging from health and housing to transportation and recreation. Much progress came of it.}} {{smaller block|Also, a few years ago, with the help of the newspapers and interested white citizens, certain racial barriers in the public hospital were broken down and qualified Negro doctors were granted staff privileges for the first time on full equality with their white colleagues.}} {{smaller block|Along about the same time, the newspapers and interested white citizens campaigned for better housing for Negroes. City substandard housing laws were strengthened and better enforcement machinery established. The improvement in rental property has been marked.}} {{smaller block|Also, it was urged that property be made available to Negroes of means who wanted to build better homes away from congested areas in which Negroes tend to congregate. Subsequently, a fairly exclusive Negro residential section, near white neighborhoods, was started. There were no objections.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|PROGRESS IS SLOWED}}}} {{smaller block|This sort of things would be more difficult now, if not impossible, in no small part because the Negro is reluctant to cooperate. Both he and his white friends are subject to pressure and unpleasantness from radical elements among their respective races. The Negro apparently has been led to believe the moon may be within his grasp; and lawless and more extreme whites have been aroused.}} {{smaller block|In many cities in the South, the newspapers have sought for years to treat the Negro with the dignity any citizen deserves in their handling of the news. Special sections devoted to news of the Negro community, often prepared by Negro reporters, were started. Until recently, there was no protest. Now there are murmurs, direct protests, and anonymous letters.}} {{smaller block|None of this has to do with integration. Neither race is ready for integration, and may never be. But if they become so it will be on the only basis of successful close human association—natural affinity, mutual appreciation, and individual choice. Neither court decrees nor laws can create these conditions.}} {{smaller block|In his speech on conciliation with the American Colonies in 1775, Edmund Burke said, “I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.”}} {{smaller block|With the help of the proposed legislation, and the injunctive process, the Federal courts may one day find such a method, but the result will be the destruction, not the preservation of civil rights.}} {{smaller block|Burke also said in his Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontent in 1770 that, “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”}} {{smaller block|This cause is not the South’s alone. The extension of the judicial process into areas it was not intended to reach and stretching it for purposes it is incapable of serving; the striking down of the police power of the States in field after field; the unprecedented use of the injunctive power without jury trial to punish for contempt persons not before the court; all of these, as able judges and lawyers are solemnly warning, threaten the future security of all Americans.}} {{smaller block|The granting of the powers the Justice Department is now asking can only hasten this process. Even the layman can see that. The proposed commission, with power to investigate and harass at its own will could, in the wrong hands, become an instrument of coercion and intimidation.}} {{smaller block|Like other Americans, no southerner of good conscience condones the denial of rights, either by violation of the law or by threat or violence. But the atmosphere created by agitation is not only inciting lawless elements to violence, but is making such incidents even harder to deal with.}} {{smaller block|Of laws we have aplenty. The Federal Government has ample power to deal with the violations the Attorney General alleges but doesn’t specify. The States have laws against violence, and many of them, like South Carolina, have laws making violation of any citizen’s rights a crime.}} {{smaller block|They should be left free to enforce them.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Orangeburg (S. C.) Times and Democrat of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “On Jury Trials.” This is what it has to say on this subject: {{smaller block|The committee in the Senate which has been considering the civil-rights bill has added an amendment to the bill which would allow persons accused of contempt to be given jury trials. Many Senators who were and are in favor of the civil-rights bill are supporting this amendment.}} {{smaller block|We do not see how Congress can go wrong in providing jury trials for persons accused of contempt. While we do not wish to join in a wholesale assault on the judiciary of this Nation, it is nevertheless true that the judiciary—like the other branches of the Government—must have its limitations.}} {{smaller block|No one branch of our Government functions perfectly, nor is it made up of perfect citizens. The judicial branch has assumed increasing power in recent years and it would be wise to safeguard the right of persons to a trial by jury because of what might follow if this right is denied citizens. It may be that only one issue is involved at present, but the future might well turn up an undesirable situation in which the principle wherein judges who find American citizens guilty of contempt, exercise such unlimited powers concerning various issues and freedom that any bill limiting the right of jury trial would be a tragedy and result in injustice to many Americans.}} {{smaller block|We do not believe that any one section of the country has a monopoly on all the good people in the United States. We believe that trial by jury is the best possible system establishing guilt and that the people themselves, who make up our juries, will come nearer seeing that justice is done than any group, acting individually, no matter how talented the various individuals may be.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Columbia (S. C.) State of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “A Wise Provision,” and here is what it has to say on the question of jury trials: {{smaller block|Administration forces fell before six Democrats and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who insisted upon including in the so-called civil-rights bill a proviso guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused in court in civil-rights cases. In supporting the amendment as a poor substitute for killing the bill, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} explained that the section would give civil-rights defendants the same right now enjoyed by trade unionists in labor injunction cases.}} {{smaller block|The development does not, however, meet with the approval of Attorney General Brownell, who has been playing out of position before now in lobbying for controversial and doubtful legislation, arraying section against section and class against class. He complains the proviso would permit practical nullification of proposed civil-rights legislation. In the words of Orphan Annie, “Would that be bad?”}} {{smaller block|One wonders just what the advocates of such legislation are after. Could they be seeking to destroy the Constitution?}} {{smaller block|Everything considered, the section guaranteeing jury trials to defendants in civil-rights cases follows the orderly procedure defined by the Founding Fathers as to the rights and dignity of the individual. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal triumphs of our Constitution as inherited from Magna Carta. There is no reason why any exception should be made to gratify the unilateral zeal of special interests of self-appointed reregulators.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, of July 10, 1957. Here is what it has to say: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|A Principle of Rights: South Making Its Point}}}}}} {{smaller block|More Senators, it appears, are seeing the validity of the South’s insistence on trial by jury as a fixed point of law and due process—{{SIC|bone|borne}} of contention with the civil-rights brigade. They are seeing, surely, what logic underscores: that if this principle falls under the impact of biased thinking against the South, it falls for all. It is not, therefore, a regional issue, but national. The southern protest is not addressed to a narrow, selfish view, but to a view exactly as broad as the Constitution—and as far reaching.}} {{smaller block|Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, has paid tribute to the fairness of southern colleagues—having spoken out prior to this showdown for the stated right of due process; and recognizing the progress already made, and voluntarily, on race relations. As a further point of edification, the fact of voting rights enjoyed and practiced in the South should be laid before him.}} {{smaller block|Who, influenced by propaganda to the contrary, has bothered to examine the record in State after State? By what process of competent investigation have these civil-rights firebrands arrived at a conclusion of wholesale indictment?}} {{smaller block|Voting is a privilege, as well as a duty, of citizenship, asserted and protected by law. With that principle there can be no quarrel. The issue is invasion by Federal authority, and methods of enforcement begetting strife by the measures of force contemplated in this iniquitous legislation.}} {{smaller block|There are States, outside the South, where people of voting age are denied the right to vote—Indians, for example. Negro citizens do vote, under the same rules of eligibilty applied in the case of white citizens; and if any Senator doubts that, he should come this way and watch.}} {{smaller block|In Tennessee, and other Southern States, he would find Negroes holding public office. In Nashville they elect their own representatives to city council; they have membership on the school board. They staff their schools. They are employed on the police department and the fire department.}} {{smaller block|Facts, it appears, are coming out in the Senate and registering—and they are facts answering organized diatribe; substantiating both the concept of justice and of constitutional law.}} {{smaller block|The South does not stand at the bar of public opinion convicted—just accused. It is not on the defensive. It is defending a basic right of responsible treatment, and the place of that defense is the floor of the Senate.}} {{smaller block|As manifested by the implied readiness of opponents to concede the trial-by-jury point, its stand to date is influencing that decision. It cannot compromise any principle to the detriment of established, constitutional rights, much less yield to the whip of caprice.}} A column written by Dr. John Temple Graves, one of the outstanding men in the South and in the Nation, printed in the Charleston, S. C., News and Courier of July 8, 1957, is entitled “South’s Most Civil Right Is Right To Be Let Alone,” reads as follows: {{smaller block|“The right to be let alone.”}} {{smaller block|That is our most civil liberty.}} {{smaller block|Remember it and be of good cheer as Senators from the South fight against the so-called civil-liberty bill.}} {{smaller block|Civil liberty is indivisible.}} {{smaller block|It is the whole Constitution, the whole ideal. When you sacrifice one part for another you decrease and endanger the total. When the right to jury trial is impeached to save the right to vote there is net loss, and the same loss runs the whole constitutional gamut.}} {{smaller block|Basically, all American rights are civil rights. States’ rights are civil. The rights of Congress against the Supreme Court are civil, and of the executive against each, and vice versa.}} {{smaller block|And when the Federal Government (or the State) invades areas never intended or authorized there is violation of the most civil right of all—the right to be let alone.}} {{smaller block|If the Founding Fathers made a mistake, if they failed to look ahead enough, if they should have anticipated a future so social and interrelated that nothing short of a totalitarian central government and law would serve, we should face it and get a new Constitution. Certainly we should not undertake to cover the situation by ignoring the Constitution in one place and insisting on it in another, sacrificing one civil right to make another safe.}} {{smaller block|Most of us believe no mistake was made, that liberty and justice can still be had in the great terms of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|If the President could just be reached on this jury-trial issue in the civil-force bill many of us who go on liking him believe he would see the South’s case as the Nation’s. The Baltimore Sun nails it thus: “The injunction contemplated would forbid actions already forbidden under Federal criminal laws. This being so, the injunction procedure is obviously a judicial shortcut, and one which would deprive those cited for contempt of a right which would be guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution (if they) were indicted for the same offense. It is proposed to assure one right—the right to vote—by ignoring another right—the right to a jury trial.”}} {{smaller block|As pointed out here many times, jury trials should be stretched just as far as contempt is stretched, you would think. The civil-rights bill would stretch contempt into areas that ordinarily involve jury trial. It should not be permitted to deny jury trial, therefore, on the plea that contempt cases don’t allow for them.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of July 4, 1957, entitled "“Unless Citizens Fight Against Tyranny Independence Will Perish in the United States of America:” {{smaller block|The 181st anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 today finds independence at low ebb in these United States.}} {{smaller block|There is a real question as to whether Americans of this day are capable of keeping whatever measure of independence is left to them, let alone restoring lost liberties.}} {{smaller block|The original Independence Day was celebrated a long time ago.}} {{smaller block|The national memory of what it means is dim. There is a certain amount of speechifying by political leaders. And the White House will hand reporters a mimeographed Fourth of July statement, written by one of the President’s ghostwriters.}} {{smaller block|But the deep meaning of the day will not be especially clear to millions of Americans who are looking forward to a long weekend at the beach or other pleasure resorts.}} {{smaller block|There is no reason why the Fourth of July should be a long-faced affair. Nor is there any reason why it should be just another holiday—another day for family picnics, parties, and romping in the surf.}} {{smaller block|Except for a few lines of it embodied in newspaper stories, no one will read the Declaration of Independence. And yet our ancestors read it with the greatest care, for it touched their lives.}} {{smaller block|It is an angry document, full of resentment toward a government that was steadily pushing Americans into a corner. Finally, in the Declaration, the people said they had enough.}} {{smaller block|Throughout June 1957 the American people were being pushed into a corner, precisely as the people of the province of South Carolina and 12 other colonies were being pushed in the broiling summer of 1776. No one attacked Sullivan’s Island last month, except possibly mosquitoes. But liberties of South Carolinians and their fellow citizens in 47 States were under attack.}} {{smaller block|Who knows it? Who cares? Today Fort Moultrie, which should be a national shrine, is padlocked and the grounds overgrown with grass. Today, grass is growing over American liberties.}} {{smaller block|Americans cared in 1776. Of George III., the signers said: “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.”}} {{smaller block|And so they submitted the facts. They said that King George “has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation; for depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury; for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments; for suspending our legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.”}} {{smaller block|Does this have a familiar ring?}} {{smaller block|Is not the Congress, on recommendation of the President, preparing a civil-rights bill that would deny trial by jury to some Americans? Isn’t the Supreme Court striking down State laws, abolishing important laws of Congress and altering fundamental forms of our State and Federal governments? Isn’t the Supreme Court legislating school laws for the South?}} {{smaller block|The answer to all these questions is “Yes.”}} {{smaller block|The Declaration of Independence says that it is the duty of a free people, when a design to reduce them to despotism has been perceived, to provide new guards for their future security.}} {{smaller block|That is what Americans living in 1957 must do. There is no need for flag-waving demonstrations—nothing of that sort. All that is needed is for millions of Americans to halt one moment, in the midst of holiday pleasure, to resolve that they will support their elected representatives in setting up new guards against tyranny.}} {{smaller block|Unless there is such a resolve, there won’t be much independence to celebrate in the years ahead.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the July 9, 1957, Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier entitled “People Should Accept No Compromise on States’ Control of Elections:” {{smaller block|Talk about compromise on civil rights force bills before Congress is in the news from Washington. What goes on behind the scenes the public seldom knows at the time, and doesn’t always find out later. We speak with no knowledge other than what we read in press dispatches.}} {{smaller block|The comment of Senator {{sc|Mundt}}, Republican, of South Dakota, who has predicted a compromise in time to let the Senate adjourn by mid-August, is especially interesting. He said the compromise would be one “for which the South can’t vote, but one with which the South can live.” The terms of the compromise would be to guarantee the right of Negro and other minority groups to vote without harassment.}} {{smaller block|Qualified Negroes, like qualified white people, already have a right to vote. Race agitators from time to time dig up cases of alleged intimidation of Negro voters in the South. No doubt there are voting irregularities in the South, as in other regions of the country. In the areas that the News and Courier knows about, Negroes register and vote without hindrance. If there is widespread violation of anybody’s civil rights we are not aware of it. The big question is not so much whether and where violations may occur, but who has authority to enforce guaranties of the rights.}} {{smaller block|Heretofore in our country the States have set up and supervised elections within their borders. We strongly believe that the future of the American Republic depends on saving a balance of power between State and Federal authorities. Control of the ballot and voting procedures is essential to that balance.}} {{smaller block|The force bill now before Congress, generally known as the civil-rights bill, would set up new Federal machinery, armed with power to imprison without trial by jury, to manage racial aspects of elections. It would be a short step to amend this law to put other, perhaps all, election machinery into Federal hands. Thus some of the safeguards—precious few of them remaining—would disappear.}} {{smaller block|Compromise on the force bill is a compromise with freedom. Today the Southern States may seem to be the target. But the danger exists for all 48 States.}} {{smaller block|Perhaps the danger cannot be avoided in the present mood of our Government. Senator {{sc|Mundt}}, in the past a stanch supporter of States’ rights, has forecast a compromise “with which the South can live,” even though it cannot vote for the compromise.}} {{smaller block|The South could not live with Reconstruction after the Civil War. Some of the proposals today seem designed to revive the spirit of Reconstruction. The News and Courier does not believe the South can live with that spirit now any better than it could live with it 80 years ago.}} {{smaller block|For that reason we reject any compromise with basic rights and basic freedom.}} {{smaller block|If the South loses to superior power, either in the form of votes in Congress or any other form of force, let it not be said that the South gave its consent. Someday, if it is not then too late, the rest of the country may come to its senses. The South may be able to hasten that day by resisting wreckers of the Republic. If the people of the United States realized what was being done to their country, they would not offer up the South as a sacrifice, nor compromise with liberty.}} {{smaller block|The South might be able to live with compromise, but not at the same time with pride and self-respect.}} Mr. President, there have been a number of occasions on which I have spoken before the subcommittees of the Committees on the Judiciary of the House and Senate, and on the floor of the Senate, in opposition to the provisions of H. R. 6127 and the other so-called civil-rights bills which were introduced both in the House and in the Senate. The first of these statements was made before the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on February 26. Because a good portion of the statement was made with reference to certain so-called civil-rights bills then being considered, but which are not now before the Senate, I have edited out portions of the statement. I now read my statement as edited. {{smaller block|I am here today to oppose the so-called civil-rights bills.}} {{smaller block|Tyranny by any other name is just as bad.}} {{smaller block|In other countries tyranny has taken the forms of fascism, communism, and absolute monarchy. I do not want to see it foisted on the American people under the alias of “civil rights.”}} {{smaller block|Real civil rights and so-called civil rights should not be confused. Everybody favors human rights. But it is a fraud on the American people to pretend that human rights can long endure without constitutional restraint on the power of government.}} {{smaller block|The actual power of the Federal Government should not be confused with power longed for by those who would destroy the States as sovereign governments.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|USURPATION BY JUDICIARY}}}} {{smaller block|There have been a number of instances of attempted and real usurpation of power by the Federal Government, which these pending bills would attempt to legalize, expand, and extend.}} {{smaller block|The most notorious illustration of this type of usurpation is the May 17, 1954, school segregation decision by the United States Supreme Court. Since that time there have been several other decisions by the Court which I think have wakened people all over the country who previously paid little attention, or cared little, what the result might be in the school segregation cases.}} {{smaller block|There are two recent cases. One arose in Pennsylvania and one in New York. The Pennsylvania case is ''Pennsylvania'' v. ''Steve Nelson'', decided April 2, 1956, dealing with the right of the State to take action against a Communist. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that because there was a Federal sedition law, the State of Pennsylvania had no authority in that field. The laws of 42 States were invalidated by the decision. Even the protest of the Department of Justice that the laws of the States did not interfere with enforcement of the Federal law did not stop the Court.}} {{smaller block|The author of the Federal law, the Honorable {{sc|Howard Smith}}, Of Virginia, has stated there was no intent embodied in the Federal act to prohibit the States from legislating against sedition.}} {{smaller block|The second case to which I refer arose when the city of New York dismissed from employment a teacher who had refused to disclose whether he was a Communist when questioned by duly constituted authority.}} {{smaller block|Here again the United States Supreme Court ruled against the power and authority of the local government contained in the charter of the city of New York.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|USURPATION BY EXECUTIVE}}}} {{smaller block|Now let me refer briefly to some attempts at usurpation of the rights of the States by the executive branch of the Federal Government. Administrators in some Federal departments and agencies have issued directives having the effect of laws which have never been enacted by the Congress.}} {{smaller block|A specific illustration is that of the Civil Aeronautics Administration issuing a directive last year to withhold Federal funds from facilities in the construction of airports where segregation of the races is practiced.}} {{smaller block|There is absolutely no basis in law for this administrative action, but by use of a directive or an edict the administrator effected a result just as though a law had been enacted.}} {{smaller block|Other attempts at Federal interference from the executive branch with the rights of the individual citizen is demonstrated by the Contracts Compliance Commission. This Commission has dictated that contractors working on Federal projects must employ persons of both the white and Negro races, whether the contractors wish to do so or not.

I believe that the individual States are looking after their own problems in the field of civil rights better than any enactment of this Congress could provide for, and better than any commission appointed by the Chief Executive could look after them.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question, with the understanding that he will not lose his right to the floor, and the understanding that it will not be considered a second speech or jeopardize the Senator’s right to the floor? Mr. THURMOND. If unanimous consent is granted, under the conditions which the distinguished Senator has outlined, I will be pleased to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from California? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I shall preface my question by this brief statement of fact, namely, since the House has adopted a ''sine die'' adjournment resolution, and there is no fixed period for adjournment, and the Senate can, and in my judgment will, continue in session as long as it is necessary to complete its business, I put these questions in all seriousness to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina: First. What is the Senator’s purpose by his interesting but prolonged remarks? Is it a matter of education of the Senate or of the country? Second. Is it to establish a record of discussion on the floor of the Senate? Third. Is it merely to delay a vote on the civil rights bill, which is the pending business? Fourth. Is it to prevent a final vote on H. R. 6127, the so-called civil rights bill? Fifth. Is it to make friends and to influence other Senators in the southern position? Sixth. Is it to emphasize to the Senate the need for a change, beginning in January, of rule XXII.? There may be other reasons, but I should be very much interested—and I believe the Senate would be interested also—if the Senator from South Carolina would agree to indicate the purpose of his prolonged address. Mr. THURMOND. I would merely say that my purpose in making the extended address is for educational purposes—to educate the Senate and the people of the country. There is no question in my mind that the so-called civil-rights bill violates the Constitution of the United States. I do not believe the Senator was in the Chamber when I spoke earlier and cited a decision pointing out that criminal contempt has been held to be a crime and that under the Constitution of the United States it is provided that a man charged with crime shall get a jury trial. The so-called compromise bill provides that if a person is sentenced by a judge by being fined more than $300 or imprisoned for more than 45 days, he will get a jury trial. The Constitution does not say that. The Constitution provides that if he is charged with a crime, he shall get a jury trial. I believe in the Constitution. I believe that the Constitution is clear. I hope the Senator will take the time one of these days—probably he will not have an opportunity soon—to read the address I have made in which I have gone into these matters and have tried to delineate them and point them out for the benefit of the American people, as well as for the benefit of the Senate. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am confident that the pending bill is a dangerous bill in a number of ways. I have pointed out that it is necessary that every State in the Nation have laws to protect the right to vote. The Senator’s own State of California has such laws. I started with the State of Alabama and read the laws for every State. Those laws were confirmed to be accurate by the Library of Congress. I read the State laws beginning with Alabama and ending with Wyoming. Every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote. I say there is no need for the pending bill. This is a matter that comes under the Constitution, and it should be left to the States. It is a State matter. It is not a Federal matter. Furthermore, the Federal Government has invaded the field. It has already invaded the field. I believe it made a mistake when it did so. I should like to invite the attention of the Senator—again I do not believe he was in the Chamber when I referred to it previously—section 594 of chapter 29 of title 18 of the United States Code. That section provides: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield again under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. That is the Federal law today. If anyone is being denied his right to vote today he has recourse to that statute. If anyone is being denied the right to vote and complains about it, the Justice Department fails to do its duty if it fails to prosecute under that section of the Federal statute. Either that condition exists or there are no just complaints. The Committee on the Judiciary held hearings for months on the question, and it did not have before it one valid complaint. It had some fictitious complaints from a parish in Mississippi. It turned out that they asked a witness to return the next day, but he did not return, and it proved that the whole testimony was a fabrication, according to the chairman of the committee. Therefore, there are State laws which protect the right to vote, and there is a Federal law which protects the right to vote. Under that act, if a man is tried, he would have a right to trial by jury. Under the so-called compromise, if he is tried, he would not have the right of trial by jury if the sentence were less than $300 or if the imprisonment were for less than 45 days. Ninety-nine percent of all the criminal contempt cases would fall within that sphere. I was a circuit court judge for 8 years and heard cases all over South Carolina. I cannot remember the case of even one man who was sentenced by me or by any other circuit court judge in South Carolina for contempt of court for longer than 45 days in jail. Therefore, the effect of the so-called compromise is to deny to the citizens of South Carolina and of the United States the right to a jury trial, as is guaranteed in several places in the Constitution. That is the reason I have made this extended address. It is to call to the attention of the Senate and to the people of the Nation that the pending bill is a dangerous bill. In my opinion, it is purely a political bill. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions as heretofore stated? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I can assure the Senator, whether we make that proviso in our remarks back and forth, the Senator will be fully protected in his rights to the floor. Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield to the Senator from California under those conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I did listen to the earlier part of the Senator’s address. I was in the Chamber at the time. I must confess that for several hours I did get some sleep and was able to freshen up and to change my clothes, and I am now back in the Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. I notice that the Senator looks very fresh at about 6:45 in the morning. Mr. KNOWLAND. Yes. I am glad to be here with the Senator. Of course, the question which obviously disturbed a majority of the two Houses of Congress was that the statutes which are now on the statute books were not effective in protecting those constitutional rights. The Senators who felt that way are just as sincere as the Senator from South Carolina. I know the Senator from South Carolina has a deep conviction and is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. However, I refer to the provisions of section 1 of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, which provides: {{smaller block|The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.}} Section 2 of the 15th amendment reads: {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.}} Both sections point up the fundamental constitutional right of American citizens and clearly underscore the fact that Congress not only has the right, but the responsibility in this field. The Senator may feel that in his State or perhaps in other States—and I have no doubt it is true in many areas of the South—there is no problem relative to the voting rights of American citizens. But at least the predominant opinion in Congress indicates that there is also a strong feeling that in many areas—and this may not be related only to the South, for that matter—the full rights under the 15th amendment are not being effectively implemented. It was for that reason that the House, by a vote, I believe, of more than 2 to 1, and the Senate finally by a very substantial majority, passed the bill, which is now going through another legislative process. It finally came back to the Senate floor after the House had concurred and amended the Senate version, as the House had a right to do. My only point is that obviously the Senate of the United States is going to stay in session and complete work on the proposed legislation. It may sit for the remainder of the week, and it may sit next month and, if necessary, the month after that. I wish to emphasize to the Senator from South Carolina that, so far as the recommendations of the minority leader might be followed—and I know of no difference of opinion so far as the majority is concerned, although I cannot speak for the majority, and I would not attempt to do so—there will be no ''sine die'' adjournment resolution adopted by the Senate which would permit Congress to adjourn the first session of the 85th Congress until we have completed the work on the pending legislation, which is the civil-rights bill, and completed the work on the proposed legislation dealing with the mutual aid appropriation bill. Therefore, there is no fixed hour and date of adjournment. I was wondering, therefore, why the Senator was making his extended address, and that is the reason I asked the questions I asked of him. He said he was making the address for the purpose of an educational campaign, for the benefit of the country and the Senate. I was wondering whether he hoped to prevent passage of the bill or merely delay its passage, or whether he had some other reason in mind. Mr. THURMOND. In answer to the distinguished Senator, I wish to say that I should be highly pleased if the bill did not pass. I should like to ask the Senator this question: Under the statute which I have just read—and that is not a State statute, but a Federal statute, which provides “whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote as he may choose,” and so forth, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both—is there any deficiency in the statute? Is that not as clear as it can be? If anyone interferes with another’s right to vote, or intimidates, or if he threatens or coerces, he shall be punished. Is that not what it says? If that is the case, why does the Senator believe we should have another statute on voting added to it? Is this statute deficient? The Senator says the present laws are defective, as I understand. The statute I have read is a criminal statute. It will punish a guilty person by fining him for as much as $1,000 and could send him to jail for a year. In what respect does the Senator believe the statute is defective? Mr. KNOWLAND. I shall not at this hour get into a detailed legal argument, because I am not a lawyer, but a newspaperman; furthermore, I would not attempt to put myself up against the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, who has been a judge in his own State and has been for a long time a distinguished member of the bar. I have listened to the arguments on the floor of the Senate. I have read a number of the reports and the proceedings, and I have had some discussions with people who are familiar with the circumstances connected with the subject. I do know that those in the Department of Justice who have been concerned with this problem apparently feel that that statute is not effective so far as the constitutional rights of American citizens are concerned. Secondly, I am not in a position to argue with the Senator relative to what the legal definition of coercion is. I do say to the Senator that I believe there are various forms of coercion, some of which might be very difficult to prove in a court of law, but which might still be equally effective in keeping people from exercising their voting rights. The coercion might consist of economic pressure, or there might be some difficulty about finding work in a community or there might be the difficulty of a small merchant maintaining his business. It might be very difficult to trace such things to the fact that a person had tried to go to a voting place on voting day to cast his vote. Nevertheless, such coercion could be quite effective in keeping a person from exercising his right to the voting franchise. It is also true that in the debate which has taken place on the floor of the Senate it was disclosed that in one of the parishes or voting districts in a Southern State which had been mentioned on the floor of the Senate, there had been the situation where certain facts were laid before a grand jury in that particular State, and the facts were very clear, but still no action was taken in that particular situation. I will say to the Senator that it should be remembered that the bill has now been stripped practically to a voting-rights bill. Furthermore, I certainly believe that the fundamental right of an American citizen in this day and age should be protected, because every citizen has the right to vote. If that right is assured to a citizen, in time he may help himself secure the other civil rights to which he is entitled and which are guaranteed to him by the 14th amendment. The bill before us, as I say, is primarily a voting-rights bill. Those who have had some responsibility in this field—and I think some knowledge of it also—feel that the procedure outlined in the bill would at least facilitate the exercise of the voting rights of American citizens in all sections of the country. Mr. THURMOND. I might say to the distinguished Senator that he is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. Even though he is not a lawyer, he knows a statute when he hears one read. The criminal statute I have read is just as plain as any criminal statute can be. I am in favor of having every qualified voter enjoy the right of franchise. I want to say that in my State every qualified voter has that privilege. No one—white, colored, or anyone else—is denied the right to vote in South Carolina. The statute I have read protects people from being coerced and intimidated and threatened in any way. If there is any violation of law now, a person who is discriminated against may go to the Department of Justice, and under the statute I have read a violator of that statute will be either sent to jail or fined or both. What the proposed compromise would do would be to take away that right of trial by jury. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say that both the original bill as passed by the two Houses and the final form now before us are not intended to deprive anyone of his vote, but to encourage the constitutional right of people to enjoy the right to vote. The fact of the matter is that quite a due process procedure is set up. If a person comes forward and alleges that he has been denied the right, there is a procedure set up by which he may go into Federal court, under his constitutional right, under the 15th amendment and the other constitutional rights he has, and make certain allegations. The judge must make certain findings. If he finds the facts are correct, he issues a court order, directed to what we in our State would call the registrar of voters, but what in other States might be the county clerk, or whatever else he might be, and says, in effect, “You are violating the constitutional rights of this man. He is being discriminated against under the laws of this State. Put him on the registration rolls.” If the local official complies with the law and complies with the Constitution, nobody is fined, and nobody goes to jail. It is only if the local official or the local individuals involved in the case ignore the order of the court and, in effect, say that “we will not comply with the order seeking to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens,” that the judge may, under either civil contempt, which may be used in most cases, and may in most cases be effective, or under the criminal contempt provisions, impose the penalties. So this bill is not seeking to punish people. To the contrary, it is seeking to gain for American citizens the very fundamental right to vote. If nobody is denied the right to vote in the State of the Senator from South Carolina, there will not be a single citizen in the State of South Carolina who will be involved in either a civil or criminal contempt. If nobody is being denied the right to vote in any other State, there will not be a single citizen, man or woman, who will be involved in either civil or criminal contempt under this bill. There will not be large numbers of persons who will be fined or jailed for 10 days or 30 days or 45 days, to force compliance with the constitutional rights of American citizens. That is going to be so only if the conditions which the Senator says prevail in his State do not prevail in other areas of the country and large numbers of American citizens are denied their constitutional rights. It seems to me it is all clear and simple. The Senator has nothing to fear in his own State or in any other State, because if nobody is being denied the right to vote, nobody can be punished by either civil or criminal contempt proceedings under the bill. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to say, in reply to that statement, whether a single person in South Carolina would be affected by the bill or not would not change my opinion about the bill, because the bill as passed by the House affects American citizens everywhere. The bill the Senate passed delineated and made a distinction between civil contempt, the purpose of which is to bring about compliance with an order, and criminal contempt, the purpose of which is to punish for a crime. A criminal contempt has been held, in a court decision which I cited earlier today, to be a crime. Criminal contempt is a crime. The bill as passed by the House provides for punishment for criminal contempt and provides that a judge can try the case, in his discretion. The defendant does not get a jury trial for a criminal contempt unless the punishment goes beyond 45 days or beyond a $300 fine. I am not concerned about the people of South Carolina violating the voting rights of citizens, because I do not think anybody in South Carolina is violating anyone’s voting rights. I presume this bill is aimed chiefly at helping the Negroes, is it not, Senator? Mr. KNOWLAND. No. The bill would be aimed at any American citizen, without regard to race, creed, or color, whose voting rights under the 15th amendment would be denied. Mr. THURMOND. As a matter of fact, it is the Negro whom it is chiefly aimed to help. Is that not a fact? Mr. KNOWLAND. I suppose most allegations of a denial of voting rights come from colored citizens of the United States, but I assume the same situation might apply to Indians, in some instances, or might apply to others who might be entitled, under the Constitution, to the right to vote; but it is not aimed at any one race or one section of the country. The Constitution, as the Senator well knows, and I think would not dispute, applies to all 48 States of the Union, and not merely to a part of the Union. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is correct, but I refer to the practical purpose of the bill. I understood that was so admitted, and one reason why the right of trial by jury was attempted to be taken away was that southern juries would not convict in cases involving the right of Negroes to vote. For the Senator’s information, in my State I would like him to know that in the 1952 election President Eisenhower lacked just a few votes of carrying the State. The Negroes voted in heavy numbers. The Negro newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer, of Columbia, S. C., published by and for Negroes, bragged about the fact that they were responsible for winning the State for Stevenson. It said that more than 80,000 of them had voted in that election, and that represented about one-fourth of the entire votes cast in that general election. The Negroes of our State comprise only 40 percent of the population. If they voted to the extent of almost one-fourth of all the votes cast in that election—and they probably voted more, because they admitted they cast that many—think it is indicative that the Negroes are voting in large numbers. Of course, they are not so well qualified to vote as are the White people. I do not know of a Negro in South Carolina who is qualified and wants to vote who is denied that privilege. So Negroes are voting in my State. Mr. KNOWLAND. I might say to the Senator I was in his State in 1952. I happened to travel with then General Eisenhower, who was a candidate for the presidency before he became President of the United States. I attended meetings with the President-to-be. The point I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not dispute the fact, as stated by the distinguished Senator, that a large number—perhaps a good majority—of the Negro citizens of this country or of his State may be registered Democrats. I think they may continue to vote for the Democratic ticket, so far as that is concerned. They may have been responsible, as the Senator says, for having carried South Carolina for Stevenson— Mr. THURMOND. That is what they said. Mr. KNOWLAND. Or, at least, that is what they said; but that would not change my viewpoint in the slightest, as a Republican, if they were entitled as American citizens to vote, even though they were responsible for the defeat of my party in that State. I might say that in the northern areas, the heavily populated areas, with large Negro populations, for the most part Negroes have voted the Democratic ticket, and generally for New Deal candidates, and it certainly is not politically advantageous to my party when they vote that way. That still would not change my viewpoint that, if they, are American citizens and if under the Constitution they are entitled to the right of any other citizen to vote, which the Constitution clearly gives them, both the Senate and the House, as well as the executive branch of the Government and the local public officials and the national public officials, have the responsibility to see that they are not denied the right to vote and to exercise their constitutional rights, whether the citizens may be predominantly Democratic, predominantly Republican, or predominantly Independent. That point is not at issue here. The issue is whether they are entitled, under the qualifications of the State laws, and under the Constitution of the United States, to vote. If they are, they should be assured that every public official who raises his hand to support both the State and National Constitution has the responsibility to see that citizens get the right to vote when they want to exercise it. In this country, we do not have coerced voting, where citizens have to go to the polls. But if citizens want to do so, they should be allowed to do so, without any direct intimidation or without any of the more subtle, indirect intimidations or coercions which sometimes can be practiced, as the distinguished Senator knows. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator if he has had evidence presented to him which has convinced him that there is a need for this bill to be passed, in spite of all the laws the States have to protect the right to vote, and in spite of section 594 of the United States criminal code which protects the right to vote. Has the Senator ever had evidence presented to him that convinced him it is necessary to pass the bill, in spite of the laws of the States and the Federal statutes? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator if I did not feel that it was both necessary and desirable to pass the bill, I would not have supported it. I believe there have been sufficient facts presented to indicate that a bill of this type is both necessary and desirable. I have never taken the position on the floor, or publicly or privately, in which I have made a blanket indictment and stated that southern juries would not convict, because I have the highest respect for the people of the South, for their responsibilities of citizenship, for their loyalty to this country, and for the fact that they have served in uniform side by side with citizens from other sections of the country in fighting off our enemies in the various struggles in which this Nation has been engaged. I have never suggested that there should be a blanket indictment of a whole people under any circumstances. I do not now say that the facts outlined by the Senator from South Carolina, with respect to his own State, are not correct. Of course, I do not know his State as well as does the Senator from South Carolina, but if he tells me that there are no cases where a person is deprived of his right to vote, where a Negro citizen, if he possesses precisely the same qualifications that would be expected of a white citizen— Mr. THURMOND. None that I know about. Mr. KNOWLAND. That he has exactly the same rights to register, exactly the same rights to vote, I take the Senator’s word for it, because I have great respect for him. I will say, however, that in the facts presented by the Attorney General’s office before the committee, relative to another State in the broad general area of the South—I might say the same thing might apply in an area of the North or the West, for that matter, because what we are seeking to protect is the rights of American citizens in all 48 States of the Union—it was shown that large numbers of persons who had been registered were purged from the registration rolls. The predominant number, if not all of the purgees, were members of the Negro race, with very few, if any, members of the white race. Purely on the law of averages, to a reasonable man, one would not have to be a lawyer to know that it does not seem to be a matter of chance. Then when they sought to re-register, according to the facts presented, the local registrar indicated, though there were several thousand of them, he could not register more than 50 a day. That meant those persons had to stand in line for long periods of time, which would naturally be a discouraging thing in trying to get back on the registration rolls. There was used the apparently rather interesting and novel provision of verbal question. I doubt very much whether many, if any, Members of the Senate could have answered some of the questions which were asked. If a question was answered one way, that apparently was not the right answer. If the question was answered the other way, which any reasonable person might have done, that apparently was not the right answer. Perhaps the same position would have been taken by the local registrar if the citizen involved had been of any other race, but, again, to a reasonable person it seems that there was at least an effort made to discourage American citizens from exercising the right of franchise. I again reiterate that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that occurrence did not take place in the State of South Carolina. The Senator has made a very fine statement of the rights the citizens of his State enjoy. I think all Americans will rejoice in that fact. I want to say there is nothing in the proposal before the Senate which will in the least change the power of the States to prescribe the qualifications of their voters. They have that right under our Federal system. I think, however, the States have the obligation not merely to give lip service to, but to follow both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and that whenever such qualifications are prescribed, whatever they may be, they should be applied impartially and equitably to every American citizen, regardless of his race, color, creed, or previous condition of servitude. Those are the words of the Constitution. Those are the words that every citizen occupying a position as a registrar, a county clerk, or a local voting commissioner has a full obligation to comply with. Such persons should not apply one rule to one group of citizens and a different rule to a different group of citizens. If they will apply the laws with equity and with impartiality, then they have nothing to fear in the slightest in the way of either civil or criminal contempt under this bill, at least in my judgment. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator from California one more question, and with that I will desist. Although the Senator is not a lawyer, he is one of the best read men in the United States. I imagine he is an expert on the Constitution, also, because he is a very deep student. I wonder how the Senator could agree to this compromise, which would deprive people in criminal contempt cases of the right to a trial by jury, when the Constitution is so clear on that point? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator that I will leave the matter to the lawyers, to debate later the specific point which the Senator mentions. I, at least, have heard of no section of the country where there is a provision for a trial by jury in an equity proceeding where there is a contempt of the court. Mr. THURMOND. I am speaking of criminal contempt. Mr. KNOWLAND. I know, but I am speaking also of a contempt of the court in carrying out its order in an equity proceeding. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to that I will say to the Senator I agree that in civil contempt cases under the present law the court has the right to use its power to bring about compliance with an order, in civil contempt cases. However, I am speaking of criminal contempt cases, which are provided for in the compromise bill. The bill provides for criminal contempt actions. Criminal contempt is a crime. I have here a decision which sustains that point. Since criminal contempt is a crime, there is a right to a trial by jury. The Constitution of the United States in article III., section 2, says this: {{smaller block|The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases or Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; * * *.}} The sixth amendment reads: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions—}} That is what we are referring to. We refer to a criminal prosecution for criminal contempt. It is a prosecution by the judge, who is the prosecutor, the legislature, the judge, and the jury. The court has held that criminal contempt is a crime, and the Constitution makes reference to all criminal prosecutions. We refer here to a criminal prosecution. The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * *.}} And so forth. In the seventh amendment to the Constitution there is also a reference to a jury trial. The amendment I have read is exactly to the point. If the Senator had provided in the compromise bill that the judge could impose a sentence of imprisonment for 1 day—not 45 days, but even 1 day—or a fine of even $1 in a criminal-contempt case, he would be giving the judge the power to try a man without a jury in violation of the Constitution, even though the punishment would be negligible. What I am opposed to is the fact that the compromise bill, the way it is written and the way it has come to the Senate, violates the Constitution of the United States. I am vitally concerned about that. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator will yield further, then I shall not interrupt him any more. All I can say to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is that the highest law officers of the Government of the United States are the Attorney General of the United States and representatives of the Department of Justice. They, too, have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The most able lawyers in the Department of Justice have looked over the proposed legislation, as well. In their judgment, it is constitutional and it does not violate the Constitution of the United States. The Senator is entitled, of course, to make the assertion that in his judgment the provision is not constitutional. Such arguments come up even before the Supreme Court of the United States, as the distinguished Senator knows, from time to time, as well as before other courts. Sometimes the judges can agree by a unanimous vote as to what they think is constitutional or what they think is unconstitutional. However, over the long period of our history there have been many notable cases relative to the constitutionality of some act of Congress or the constitutional rights of some individual as to which the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest judicial tribunal of the land, has divided on a 5-to-4 decision. The Senator’s assertion that the provision is not constitutional—I am sure the Senator would be the first to admit—does not make it unconstitutional. I quite admit that the assertion of any qualified lawyer on this side, who might make the assertion the provision was constitutional, would not, by that assertion, make it so. Nor would the opinion of the Attorney General make it so. At least I do not want the record to show that merely by having the Senator make the assertion that in his judgment it is not constitutional, necessarily, ''ipso facto'', that assertion makes a fact. Mr. THURMOND. Of course, we remember also that the Attorney General in the original bill wanted to transfer these matters to the equity side of the court to deprive citizens of the right of jury trial. We have to keep that in mind. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the distinguished Senator will yield further, I wish to thank him for his courtesy in yielding. I hope he has enjoyed our discussion as much as I have. I hope perhaps it has been a brief respite to him, under all the circumstances. I would stay to listen to the Senator, but I have a breakfast engagement with the President at the White House. I know under those circumstances the distinguished Senator will excuse me. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to yield to the distinguished Senator, for whom I have such high admiration. Mr. President, I continue to read my statement: {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTIES}}}} {{smaller block|Before taking up specific provisions of several of the bills pending before the committee, I should like to read for you two of the basic provisions in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|The ninth amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”}} {{smaller block|The 10th amendment to the Constitution provides:}} {{smaller block|“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”}} {{smaller block|Those last two amendments of the Bill of Rights make clear the intent of the Founding Fathers. Their intent was that all rights not specifically listed, and all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government, would be held inalienable by the States, and the people.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|BILL OF RIGHTS UNALTERED}}}} {{smaller block|This basic concept of the Bill of Rights has never been constitutionally amended, no matter what the Federal courts have done, no matter what the executive branch of the Federal Government has done, and no matter what the Congress might have done or attempted to do in the past.

It would provide that—}} {{smaller block|“Whenever any persons have engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action * * * the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States but for the benefit of the real party in interest, a civil action or other proper proceeding or redress or preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order.”}} {{smaller block|Now that proposal is one which I would label as even more insidious than any ''ex post facto'' law which could possibly be imagined.}} {{smaller block|An ''ex post facto'' law would at least apply to some real act committed by a person which was not in violation of law at the time. The point is, however, in such instance the person would actually have committed the act.}} {{smaller block|This proposal would permit the Justice Department to secure an injunction from a Federal judge or to institute a civil suit on behalf of some person against a second person when the latter had committed no act at all. An injunction might be secured from a Federal judge charging a violation of the law without any evidence that a person even intended to do so.}} {{smaller block|How any person could support by oath a charge as to whether another person was about to engage in violating the law is beyond my understanding.}} {{smaller block|Many of the pioneers who settled this new continent came because they wanted to escape the tyranny of European despots. They wanted their families to live in a new land where everybody could be guaranteed the right to trial by jury, instead of the decrees of dictators.}} {{smaller block|Congress, as the directly elected representatives of the people, should be the last to consider depriving the people of jury trials. We should never consider it at all. But, if this proposal to strengthen the civil-rights statutes is approved, that would be its effect.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|AGENTS COULD MEDDLE}}}} {{smaller block|Under this provision, the Attorney General could dispatch his agents throughout the land. They would be empowered to meddle with private business, police elections, intervene in private lawsuits, and breed litigation generally. They would keep our people in a constant state of apprehension and harassment. Liberty quickly perishes under such government, as we have seen it perish in foreign nations.}} {{smaller block|A further provision of that same proposal would permit the bypassing of State authorities in such cases. The Federal district courts would take over original jurisdiction, regardless of administrative remedies, and the right of appeal to the State courts.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|STATE COURTS STRIPPED}}}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and vest the Federal courts with that authority.}} {{smaller block|Still another proposal among the so-called civil-rights bills would “provide a means of further securing and protecting the right to vote.” I have had a search made of the laws of all 48 States and the right to vote is protected by law in every State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|SOUTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION PROTECTS VOTER}}}} {{smaller block|In South Carolina, my own State, the constitution of 1895 provides in article III., section 5, that the general assembly shall provide by law for crimes against the election laws and, further, for right of appeal to the State supreme court for any person denied registration.}} {{smaller block|The South Carolina election statute spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court. It also requires a special session of the court if no session is scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|Article II., section 15 of South Carolina’s constitution, provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State.}} {{smaller block|In pursuance of the constitutional provisions, the South Carolina General Assembly has passed laws to punish anyone who shall threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. Anyone who violates any of the provisions in regard to general, special, or primary elections, is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.}} {{smaller block|In this proposed Federal bill to “protect the right to vote,” a person could be prosecuted or an injunction obtained against him based on surmise as to what he might be about to do. The bill says that the Attorney General may institute proceedings against a person who has engaged or “is about to engage in” any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege concerned with voting.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMENDING}}}} {{smaller block|I believe the effect of enactment of such legislation as these proposals would be to alter our form of government, without following the procedures established by the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|I believe the effect of enacting these bills into law would be to take from the States power and authority guaranteed to them by the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|In recent years there have been more and more assaults by the Federal Government on the rights of the States, as the Federal Government has seized power held by the States. In many instances, I believe, this has been done without a constitutional basis.}} {{smaller block|The States have lost prestige. But more important, the States have lost a part of their sovereignty whenever the Federal Government has taken over additional responsibilities. That loss might seem unimportant at the time, but gradually it could become a major part of the sovereignty of the States.}} {{smaller block|Officials of the Federal Government, whether in the executive, legislative, or the judicial branch, should not forget to whom they owe their allegiance. Each of us owes his allegiance to the Constitution and to the people—not to any agency, department, or person. We have taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|We must take into account the facts as they really are, and not be panicked by the organized pressures which so often beset public officials.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|STATES CREATED UNION}}}} {{smaller block|We must not lose sight of the fact that the States created the Federal Union; the Federal Government did not create the States.}} {{smaller block|All of the powers held by the Federal Government were delegated to it by the States in the Constitution. The Federal Government had no power, and should have no power, which was not granted by the States in the constitution.}} {{smaller block|If this Congress approves the legislation embodied in the bills pending before the committee, it will be an unwarranted attempt to seize power not rightfully held by the Congress or by any branch of the Federal Government.}} {{smaller block|I hope this committee will consider these facts and recommend the disapproval of these bills.}} Mr. President, that was the statement I made before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on February 26. Mr. President, on August 6 I made my third address on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced my vigorous objections to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127, as amended by the Senate, which was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of this bill. I shall now repeat my several objections to this milder form of the bill as I stated them on August 6. These were my words at that time: {{smaller block|Mr. President, I am opposed to the creation of a Commission on Civil Rights as proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127.}} {{smaller block|To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a Commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, such an investigation should be conducted by the States or by an appropriate committee of the Congress, acting within the jurisdiction of Congressional authority. It should not be done by a commission.}} {{smaller block|I also object to part I. of H. R. 6127 because of the fact that it places duties upon the Commission and endows it with powers which no governmental commission should have.}} {{smaller block|In fact, Mr. President, the language of the bill proposing to establish this Commission is so broad and so general that it may encompass more evils than have yet been detected in it.}} {{smaller block|Under its duties and powers the Commission would be able to subpena citizens to appear before it to answer questions on many subjects outside the scope of elections and voting rights.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(1) Investigate allegations in writing under oath or affirmation that certain citizens of the United States are being deprived of their right to vote and have that vote counted by reason of their color, race, religion, or national origin; which writing, under oath or affirmation, shall set forth the facts upon which such belief or beliefs are based.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, the bill, in part IV., contains an additional protection of the voting right of citizens above and beyond present State and Federal laws. Provision is made for enforcement of part IV., and there were already sufficient enforcement provisions to carry out the intent of the existing State and Federal laws. I do not see how a commission could enhance officers nor the powers of law enforcement officers nor the enforcement and punitive authority of the courts.}} {{smaller block|I can see no valid reason why a commission should be created, in addition to the legal enforcement procedures, unless the purpose is for the Commission to stir up litigation among our people.}} {{smaller block|This bill has been advertised, promoted, and ballyhooed as a right-to-vote bill. However, I want to cite two paragraphs which give broad authority for investigations other than alleged violations of a person’s right to vote.}} {{smaller block|Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall—}} {{smaller block|“(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|“(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|Instead of limiting the power of the Commission, these two paragraphs provide it with ''carte blanche'' authority to probe into and meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals which the Commission and members of its staff could conjure up.}} {{smaller block|I want to call particular attention to a divergence in language between paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 refers to a study of “legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection.” Paragraph 3 says “appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection.”}} {{smaller block|The significant thing here is the omission of the specific intent of paragraph 2. Although the language of paragraph 2 is obscure and omits a governmental reference, it obviously must refer to State and local governments, else it would be redundant and have no meaning at all.}} {{smaller block|Also, as I pointed out, investigations conducted under paragraphs 2 and 3 could go far afield from the question of voting rights. The Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools, and elsewhere, under the authorization of these two paragraphs. Combining its authority to investigate on an unlimited scale and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions, the Commission would have a powerful weapon.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I do not believe the people of this country realize the virtually unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. While the Commission would have no power to implement its desires, I do not believe the people of this country want such a totalitarian type of persuasion imposed upon them.}} {{smaller block|Part I. of H. R. 6127 purports to create a Civil Rights Commission. Actually, it would create a traveling investigation commission.}} {{smaller block|Section 103(b) of part I. also would place tremendous power within the grasp of the Attorney General with reference to members of the Commission “otherwise in the service of the Government.” The clear implication is that whoever drafted this scheme to send traveling agents over the country intended to make use of certain members of the executive branch of the Federal Government. I don’t believe it would be necessary to look further than the Justice Department to determine where Commission members already in Government service would be secured. By placing his employees on the Commission, the Attorney General would transform the traveling agents into an additional investigative arm of the Justice Department.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I next call attention to the potential abuse found in section 102(g) under the innocuous title, “Rules of Procedure of the Commission.” That section provides that “no evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be released or used in public sessions without the consent of the Commission. Whoever releases or uses in public without the consent of the Commission evidence or testimony taken in executive session shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than 1 year.”}} {{smaller block|In an editorial of July 26, 1957, the Washington Post very correctly pointed out how this section could be used to imprison reporters and other citizens for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them.}} {{smaller block|This editorial provides a penetrating and enlightening criticism of this section. Because of its pertinency and fine analysis, I shall read the last three paragraphs of the editorial which is entitled “Open Rights Hearings,” which states:}} {{smaller block|“The bill contains an invitation to the Commission to operate behind closed doors. It provides that ‘if the Commission determines that evidence or testimony at any hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, it shall * * * receive such evidence or testimony in executive session * * *.’ Some closed sessions may be necessary to avoid unfair reflections upon individuals, but these should certainly be an exception to the general rule. In our opinion, this section ought to be rewritten in more positive vein to provide that sessions of the Commission should be open to the public, unless it should find that closed hearings were essential to avoid unfairness.}} {{smaller block|“The House also wrote into the bill a dangerous section providing for the fining or imprisonment for not more than 1 year of anyone who might ‘release or use in public,’ without the consent of the Commission, any testimony taken behind closed doors. If the Commission should choose to operate under cover, without any valid reason to do so, newspaper reporters and other citizens could be jailed for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This is a penalty that has been shunned even in matters affecting national security. Such a provision is an invitation to abuse and a serious menace to the right of the people to know about the activities of governmental agencies.}} {{smaller block|“It is well to remember that this would not be merely a study commission. In addition it would be under obligation to investigate allegations that persons were being deprived of their rights under the 14th and 15th amendments. It could subpena witnesses and documents and appeal to the courts for enforcement of such edicts. Its powers would be such that it should be held to scrupulous rules of fairness. To encourage the Commission to operate in secret, and then to penalize news mediums and citizens for disclosing what should have been public in the first place, would be the sort of mistake that Congress ought to avoid at the outset.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I think the points made in the editorial are clear and valid. Secrecy in the activities of such a Commission could only lead to a denial of the rights of an individual rather than to protection of his rights.}} {{smaller block|Another subject which must not be passed over is the subpena power of the Commission. Section 105(f) provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding Commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed.}} {{smaller block|Neither would the power contained in section 105(g) which provides that Federal courts shall have the power, upon application by the Attorney General, to issue “an order requiring” a witness to answer a subpena of the Commission and “any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.”}} {{smaller block|The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority of the traditional American factfinding commission. I look with suspicion upon such a Commission so endowed with authority, and I object to its establishment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to discuss another reason, briefly, why I would be opposed to the establishment of the Commission proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. Every appropriation bill which has come before the Senate this year has been reduced by the Senate below the budget request. The people of this country have called upon the Members of Congress to reduce the costs of government, not to increase them by creating new agencies or commissions.}} {{smaller block|The advocates of the Commission might argue that the cost of its operation would not be great, but nowhere in the records of the hearings have I found an estimate of what the total cost would be. If the Commission were to exist only for the 2 years provided in the bill, the compensation and ''per diem'' allowance of Commission members would amount to more than a quarter of a million dollars, not counting their travel allowances.}} {{smaller block|Since there is no limitation on the number of personnel which might be appointed by the Commission, there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of personnel salaries and expenses. Since the Commission is designed to travel over the country at will, very heavy travel expenses undoubtedly would be incurred.}} {{smaller block|The taxpayers would never know how many of their tax dollars were wasted by virtue of the seemingly innocuous language in section 105(e). Unknown, concealed costs are not, however, the only dangers lurking in that subsection. A serious departure from sound legislative procedure is also involved.}} {{smaller block|In the past, when creating an agency or commission, Congress retained control of its creation by the appropriation power. This is a wonderful check, Mr. President, against the abuse or misuse of Commission authority. Scrupulous care should be taken to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|However, section 105(e) provides that “all Federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the Civil Rights Commission could call on the other governmental agencies to perform many of its tasks. Congressional control over the Commission would be much less than if the Commission had to depend on its own appropriations and would not be permitted to use the resources of other agencies. Once the commission is created, only another law can check its activity during the period of its existence.}} {{smaller block|Another thing that concerns me about this Commission is the fact that once a Government agency or commission is established, nothing else on earth so nearly approaches eternal existence as that Government agency or commission. Mr. President, I feel that the 2-year limitation placed upon the Commission in this bill would simply be a starting point, and the people of this country should realize that at this time.}} {{smaller block|With further reference to section 104(a), I want to point out the use of the mandatory word shall. This word requires the Commission to investigate all sworn allegations submitted to the Commission of any citizen allegedly being deprived of his right to vote.}} {{smaller block|But the provision neglects to require that such allegations be submitted by parties in interest—not simply by some meddler who seeks to create trouble between other persons. This is another provision of this bill similar to section 131(c) which would permit the Attorney General to make the United States a party to a case without the consent of the party actually involved.}} {{smaller block|Another objection to 104(a) is that under this provision a person could make an allegation to the Commission against a person who was not even a citizen of the same State. Even so, under the mandatory language of section 104(a), the Commission would be required to make an investigation of the charges.}} {{smaller block|Since the Commission is limited by section 102(k) to subpenaing witnesses to hearings only within the State of residence of the witness, there would be no opportunity in such a situation for the accused to confront his accuser. Charges against a person should not be accepted by the Commission unless the accuser is a citizen of the same State as the person he is charging with a violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|Also, Mr. President, once the Commission has received the sworn allegation, there is no requirement that other testimony received relating to the allegation be taken under oath. Failure to make all persons giving testimony subject to perjury prosecutions in the event they testify to falsehoods would surely destroy the value of any such testimony received.}} {{smaller block|The Commission could and might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony; but I should not like to see the Senate leave that point to the discretion of the Commission because, in my judgment, the Congress should require that practice to be followed.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, as I stated earlier, it is my view that an inquiry into the field of civil rights, or so-called civil rights, is entirely unnecessary at this time. The laws of the States and the Federal laws are being enforced effectively.}} {{smaller block|Should there come a time when information might be needed on this subject, the Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with deliberation and care. The appropriate committees of the Congress itself should hold hearings limited to the jurisdiction of the Congress, and the Congress should make its own determination as to the need for legislation.}} {{smaller block|There is no present indication that any such study will be needed.}} {{smaller block|Part II. of the bill still provides for the appointment of one additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. As I have stated in previous addresses, there is absolutely no need for an additional Attorney General to be appointed at a cost to the taxpayers of $20,000 per year.}} {{smaller block|Of course, that would merely be a small part of the total cost because a large staff of lawyers would also be employed.}} {{smaller block|The other provisions of the bill do not necessitate the establishment of a civil-rights division in the Justice Department, because there is no indication there would be any substantial increase in such cases with which the Department should be concerned.}} {{smaller block|As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have admitted time and again here in the Senate that there has been a steady decrease in the number of civil-rights cases throughout the country.}} {{smaller block|Since there has been a decrease in civil-rights cases, and since there is no indication that any increase should be expected, I can see absolutely no reason for the expansion of the present civil-rights section of the Justice Department into a Civil Rights Division with an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the fact that sufficient justification has not been presented for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, I hope the Senate will not approve such additional expenditures as would be required for this purpose. In my opinion, the Attorney General has failed entirely to show a need for an additional assistant.}} {{smaller block|Part III. of the bill as amended has been thoroughly discussed and I shall not dwell on that at this time.}} {{smaller block|Part IV., which is the section dealing with what the advocates of the bill have said was the entire purpose of the bill, still has provisions which are objectionable to me. Section 131(c) still contains language which, to me, borders on an effort at thought control instead of providing an unneeded additional guaranty of the right to vote. Also, it gives the Attorney General undue authority. The section reads as follows:}} {{smaller block|“(c) Whenever any person has engaged, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage, in any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege secured by subsection (a) or (b), the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, a civil action or other proper proceeding for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order. In any proceeding hereunder the United States shall be liable for costs the same as a private person.”}} {{smaller block|As long ago as February 26, when I appeared before the special Judiciary Subcommittee of the House of Representatives to testify against pending civil-rights bills, I expressed my opposition to the language contained in the section I. have just quoted. I do not believe it possible for the Attorney General, for any of his representatives, or for anybody else to determine what is in another person’s mind and whether he is about to engage in some violation of the law.}} {{smaller block|If the Attorney General should attempt to ascertain what is going on in the minds of other persons, he will need soothsayers and prophets instead of an additional Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|I object to this language because I do not believe it possible for any witness to testify truthfully that he knows another person was about to violate the law, unless some overt action had been taken by the accused person.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, an attempt to apply this provision against American citizens would be completely out of keeping with the guaranties of personal freedom contained in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights.}} {{smaller block|I object also to the authority granted the Attorney General in section (c) to “institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States,” a civil action or other court proceeding on behalf of a person without the consent of that person. Individuals have adequate legal remedies which they themselves may institute on their own behalf. It is not necessary to give the Attorney General this extreme power of absolute discretion to be exercised as he desires on behalf of some individual who may not wish to take court action or to have anybody else take such action on his behalf.}} {{smaller block|If one of the duties of the proposed additional Assistant Attorney General would be to seek out persons and insist upon entering the courts on their behalf, this provision, combined with part II., provides another objection to the appointment of an Assistant Attorney General.}} {{smaller block|The American system has never condoned the idea that a third party should stir up trouble between two other persons. Instead, the American system abhors troublemakers, especially when troublemaking takes the form of barratry. This form of troublemaking has been looked down upon much in the same way other lawyers look down upon their colleagues who chase ambulances.}} {{smaller block|The United States Government should not be placed in this position of disrepute and certainly it should not be called upon to bear the expenses of such court proceedings.}} {{smaller block|Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which provides that—}} {{smaller block|“(b) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.”}} {{smaller block|No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States, should not be exhausted prior to Federal district courts taking jurisdiction in election-law violations.}} {{smaller block|This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 have spoken out strongly on behalf of the Federal courts during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts.}} {{smaller block|There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them.}} {{smaller block|The laws of all the 48 States contain provisions protecting the right to vote. No additional protection is needed beyond existing State and Federal laws.}} {{smaller block|In my own State of South Carolina, the constitution of 1895 required the general assembly to provide by law for the punishment of crimes against the election laws. That has been done. The State constitution further required a provision to permit a person to appeal to the State supreme court if he should be denied registration. The election law spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court, and requires that the court hold a special session if one is not scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election.}} {{smaller block|South Carolina’s constitution also provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of this constitutional provision, the South Carolina General Assembly has enacted laws for the punishment of anyone who threatens, mistreats, or abuses any voter in an effort to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. These laws apply to all elections. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, in view of the existing laws of the States and the existing Federal laws, I now contend, as I have contended since the so-called civil-rights bills were introduced, that any qualified voter in the United States is fully protected in his right of suffrage.}} {{smaller block|This bill, H. R. 6127, is unnecessary. It is an encroachment upon the rights of the States, and it infringes upon the rights of individuals when the Attorney General is empowered to take action on the behalf of any person without his consent.}} {{smaller block|I believe this bill should be rejected, because of the various unnecessary and unconstitutional provisions which I have discussed.}} {{smaller block|Part V. of the bill, which was added to insure and provide for trial by jury in proceedings to punish criminal contempts, is an amendment which I approved and voted for, but I do not consider it as strong as desirable. In my opinion, the bill which the senior Senators from Mississippi and Virginia and I introduced in the Senate last March should be approved, to provide best for the right of trial by jury for every American citizen.}} {{smaller block|However, the addition of part V. to the bill makes it much less objectionable than the bill would have been without the assurance of trial by jury in criminal-contempt proceedings contained in part V.}} {{smaller block|Mr. President, I want to reiterate my previous assertions that this bill is unnecessary, and in some respects unconstitutional.}} {{smaller block|H. R. 6127 in its original form carried the label of being a right-to-vote bill; but when we unwrapped the package here in the Senate and examined it carefully, as we have, we found the label was entirely misleading.}} {{smaller block|The so-called civil-rights bill should have been entitled “A bill to empower the Attorney General to deprive certain citizens of their right to trial by jury.” Also, it should have been labeled as an implement intended to be used to force integration of the races in the public schools.}} {{smaller block|Happily, we examined the contents of the package, stripped off the old label, and advertised the deception so that every citizen could recognize the dangers wrapped in the package.}} {{smaller block|The amendments which have been enacted have reduced the power which was intended to be placed in the hands of the Attorney General. They have removed the authority for the use of military forces in cases of alleged civil-rights violations. They have made the proposed Commission answerable to Congress as well as to the President, and have provided for the members to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. They have better defined and narrowed the powers of Federal judges in contempt proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R. 6127. However, nothing could entirely remove the objectionable features of this packaged bill of goods, submitted to the American people under a deceptive label.}} {{smaller block|I shall vote against passage of H. R. 6127, because I believe that in so doing I shall be casting a vote for the preservation of our liberties, and for the preservation of constitutional government in this country.}} Mr. President, that was the statement which I made on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced vigorous objection to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127 as amended by the Senate. Of course, the Senate bill was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of the bill. Mr. President, I now wish to discuss part IV. of H. R. 6127 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution. {{smaller block|PART IV.—TO PROVIDE MEANS OF FURTHER SECURING AND PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE}} Part IV. of the proposed civil-rights bill confers on the Attorney General the right to bring civil action and seek an injunction in a Federal district in the name of the United States if he believes any person is violating or about to violate either of two laws presently existing for the protection of voters. Let us examine the two laws the Attorney General seeks to enforce by civil suit or injunction. The first of these laws, presently appearing as section 2004 of the Revised Statutes of 1874—title 42, United States Code, section 1971—is actually section 1 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870—Sixteenth United States Statutes at Large, page 140. This bill, S. 810 and H. R. 1293, passed the respective Houses of Congress without debate on its merits under the rule on motion. This bill as it passed Congress contained in its second section a definite provision that civil damages to the aggrieved might be recovered through civil suit in the Federal courts. Furthermore, it provided for the obtaining of political office by civil suit through ''quo'' warrant proceedings in Federal courts. On May 20, 1870, an attempt was made in the Senate to allow third parties to sue in behalf of the aggrieved party. This is the same proposal contained in the present bill whereby the Attorney General would be allowed to bring civil action and seek injunctions. Even this radical 41st Congress would not accept any such proposition providing double penalties. The proposition in the present bill would provide double penalties because present law contained in both title 18, Section 242—Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law—and title 42, Section 1971—Race, Color, or Previous Condition Not To Affect Right to Vote—afford appropriate criminal and civil remedy. To show how the Senate in 1870 rejected such an idea of double penalties, let us examine the colloquy in the Senate on the proposal to allow someone other than the aggrieved to bring civil suit—Congressional Globe, volume 93, 41st Congress, 2d session, 1870, pages 3563–3564: {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I understand I am in order in offering to amend the amendment.}} {{smaller block|The {{sc|Presiding Officer}}. The amendment to the amendment is in order.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I will repeat it, then, for the information of the Senate. I move to amend the Senate bill in section 2, line 15, by striking out the words “the person aggrieved thereby” and inserting “any person who shall sue for the same.”}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. I hope that this amendment will not be agreed to. There are now two views taken of this branch of the bill as it stands. One is that there ought not to be any provision at all for the party aggrieved; that it ought all to be out; and another view is that taken by my friend from Alabama, that it does not go far enough; that we ought not to confine this redress to the person whose vote is refused. The committee considered both those views, and thought, in analogy to State legislation and to the simple proprieties of justice, that this middle ground was the true one.}} {{smaller block|If a voter is deprived of his right to vote by the misconduct of an official, it is a personal grievance to him, an actionable injury, for which all civilized laws give him redress in some form. It is true that in most States and countries no specific amount of damages is allowed, for the reason that it is thought safer, inasmuch as that might be a matter of speculation, to leave it under the circumstances of each case to be great or small, as a jury shall think it wise to make it. But in applying the 15th amendment, which is intended to secure the rights of a large class of the population of the United States, and to secure their rights in courts which may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, by juries who may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, in communities where the local officers are found to be those who deny the rights that the 15th amendment secures, we thought it wise not to leave it to an unfriendly jury to give only 1 penny damages, if a man under the 15th amendment was deprived of a right he had, but to fix the sum the party should be entitled to recover as his damages; and on the other hand, in a community where juries might be very favorable to the party aggrieved, we thought it right to impose upon juries a limit above which they ought not to go; so that they should not either give no damages at all nor excessive damages.}} {{smaller block|This branch of the section, therefore, is framed upon that theory. It is to give to the person aggrieved, as damages for the deprivation of his rights as a citizen, a private right of his own, a right to sue, which all laws give; it would not be necessary to put that into the statute—he would have the right of action; but to fix the amount for each specific wrong to him {{SIC|whch|which}} he should be entitled to recover. Then we provide in another part of the bill, and perhaps in the same section, just as we ought to do if we are to have any law at all, that the officer guilty of this wrong to the citizen is also guilty of an offense against the public, a criminal misdemeanor, for which he may be indicted and fined, of course within certain limits, in the discretion of the court. I submit to my friend from Alabama whether, on the whole, this middle ground, which is defensible both by philosophy and by analogy, is not the true one.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I desire to make this bill as effective for the purpose intended as possible. The persons who will be aggrieved, particularly in our section of the country, will in the main be ignorant and timid persons, who will be afraid to sue. The fact that they may be afraid to go to the polls and vote is evidence that they will not perhaps have the courage and fearlessness to sue; but there may be some third party who would be willing to enforce the penalty. I think in the great majority of cases the person aggrieved would not avail himself of this provision.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Then, I suggest to my friend that he would not be entitled to any action at all under this section, because this is not a section to give every man $500 who is afraid to offer to do what he has a right to do; but it is to give him as damages the sum of $500 for a positive and specific denial to him of the exercise of a right that he attempts to exercise; otherwise, he would have no cause of action. You cannot give a right of action to anybody because he is intimidated. The intimidation part of the law must be purely criminal, and is found in another part of the bill.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. But my amendment would give a remedy by enabling any other person than the party aggrieved to enforce the penalty. The party aggrieved I think in most cases would fail to enforce it; but some other party might.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Some other party may in his name.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I desire to say a word in regard to the particular amendment now pending. This bill is for the purpose of enforcing the 15th amendment, which applies to colored voters, most of whom reside in the section of the country from which the Senator from Alabama and myself come. The great and most effectual means used to interfere with their exercise of the right secured to them by the 15th amendment is by intimidation, by violence. I think that the penalty which is named in this second section, to be enforced by the party aggrieved, would never be put into operation at all. The purpose of the bill is to protect those citizens against intimidation from voting.}} {{smaller block|I confess that there is something in the suggestion of the Senator from Vermont, that there is no intimidation in this particular section aimed at. But, sir, it is perfectly sure that the very same means of intimidation which prevents a colored citizen from voting will be resorted to to prevent him from bringing this penal action, and unless the section is amended as suggested by the Senator from Alabama, I do not believe that an action will ever be brought in those States, because it is much more difficult for one of those citizens to bring and maintain a criminal action than it is for him to perform the single act of voting.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Will my friend permit me to make a suggestion right there?}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. Certainly.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. If you take out this penalty, as it is called, really liquidated damages, from the person who is aggrieved, whose right is denied, and who has suffered injury, and give it to anybody who will sue for it, it becomes a pure penalty. Then the question is, whether you can have a bill which contains double penalties; whether you are to punish, in the strict sense of punishment, a man twice for the same offense; because my friend will see that the section, in addition to giving these damages to the party aggrieved as damages, makes it a criminal misdemeanor, punishable on indictment and conviction by a fine of not less than $500 and imprisonment not less than a month nor more than a year. I suggest to my friend, who is a cultivated and educated lawyer, whether he would not in court find himself in great difficulty with a bill of double penalties, which were purely such.}} {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I have never examined that question under the laws of the United States. I only know that is frequently done in my own State. We have statutes with double penalties, as referred to by the Senator, and we have never had any difficulty in that State with regard to them.}} {{smaller block|But I understood the committee to mean by this section that there was danger in the States where it is principally to apply of not being able to obtain a grand jury who will find a bill of indictment, and that in the event no bill of indictment could be found before a grand jury the party aggrieved, or, if amended as the Senator from Alabama suggests, any person in the community may still punish the offender by bringing a penal action. It seems I had mistaken the purpose of the committee entirely from what is said by the Senator from Vermont. I think, nevertheless, the amendment had better be made, unless there really be that legal objection which the Senator suggests as to double penalties, so that it could not, under the laws of the United States and the practice of the United States courts, be enforced. If that were so, it would be conclusive that the amendment ought not to be adopted. I did not understand the Senator as expressing the positive opinion that such could not be done.}} Now, Mr. President, I shall discuss injunctions issuing from Federal district judges on the question of a person’s qualification for voting. The civil-rights bill in part IV. confers on the district courts of the United States jurisdiction to issue injunctions in civil-rights actions and it is to be assumed that these injunctions will concern, among other supposed rights, the right to vote. Actually appropriate remedy already exists where a person’s civil rights are violated. Section 242 of title 18, United States Code, provides a penalty and damages may be recovered in a civil action. The West Virginia Jehovah’s Witnesses case is a typical example of adequate remedy existing in such cases. In this case, the United States attorney was unable to get an indictment by the grand jury. He therefore proceeded to prosecute by information, as provided by rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and subsequently got a conviction. The information charged that two public officers, acting under color of law, had willfully deprived their victims of the Federal rights of free speech, freedom of religion, the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, and the right to equal protection of the laws. The conviction was upheld by the United States court of appeals—''Catlette'' v. ''U. S.'' ((1943) 132 F. 2d 902). Civil suits were brought by the Witnesses against their prosecutors—those who had deprived them of their rights—and a settlement was made totaling $1,170 in damages which was paid. How can the Congress vest jurisdiction in Federal courts to determine the qualifications of voters and allow Federal judges to issue injunctions in effect requiring that certain persons—the judge thinks are qualified—shall be registered and allowed to vote? The qualifications of voters are fixed and enumerated in the constitution of each sovereign State. For purposes of determining who is entitled to vote in each State for United States Representatives and Senators, the Federal Constitution simply adopts such qualifications as the State has fixed for voting for members of that State’s legislature. The language of article I., section 2, clause 3 of the United States Constitution reads: {{smaller block|The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.}} Similarly, the 17th amendment adopts for the purpose of electing United States Senators such qualifications as the States have fixed: {{smaller block|The Senate of the United States shall be composed of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for 6 years; and each Senator shall have 1 vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.}} In the fixing of qualifications of voters the States are limited only by the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment in that the right to vote may not be denied because of race or color or sex, respectively. That the respective States determine who are entitled to vote has never been seriously controverted. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the right to vote comes from the State. In declaring sections 3 and 4 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870, unconstitutional, the Supreme Court in 1875 said—''U. S.'' v. ''Reese'' ((1875) 92 U. S. 214, 217, 218); also ''Butts'' v. ''Merchants and Miners Transportation Co.'' ((1913) 230 U. S. 126): {{smaller block|The 15th amendment does not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference, in this particular, to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race, etc., as it was on account of age, one race having certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to this amendment, there was no constitutional guaranty against this discrimination; now there is. It follows that the amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right which is within the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This, under the express provisions of the second section of the amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation.}} This leads us to inquire whether the act now under consideration is appropriate legislation for that purpose. The power of Congress to legislate at all upon the subject of voting at State elections rests upon this amendment. The effect of article I., section 4, of the Constitution, in respect to elections for Senators and Representatives, is not now under consideration. It has not been contended, nor can it be, that the amendment confers authority to impose penalties for every wrongful refusal to receive the vote of a qualified elector at State elections. It is only when the wrongful refusal at such an election is because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, that Congress can interfere, and provide for its punishment: If, therefore, the third and fourth sections of the act are beyond that limit, they are unauthorized.}} Thus, if the 15th amendment has not conferred the right to vote upon anyone, how can Congress give a Federal judge authority to confer that right by injunction? The Attorney General knows that it is a settled principle of law that an injunction will not issue to prevent a crime. At the present time the laws governing enforcement of civil rights are criminal statutes and as such he seeks to have them reenacted as civil statutes so he can secure injunctions. An injunction is really a serious proposition. Actually an injunction is a proceeding in equity and not of law and under this principle since all of the States have adequate procedure for determining the qualifications of voters in courts of law, injunctions cannot issue in such cases. An injunction is actually the giving of validity to a judge’s own individual opinion. The injunction had its origin during the reign of Henry VIII., when Cardinal Wolsey augmented the authority of the Court of Chancery in exercising his equitable authority over everything that could be a matter of judicial inquiry. Both Wolsey and his successor, Sir Thomas More, were severely criticized by the English judiciary for issuing injunctions in equity and thereby substituting their individual opinions for the verdict of a jury in a common law court—the Law magazine, London, volume XXVII., 1870, pages 1–25. Such great importance is attached to the issuance of an injunction that Lord Correnham in his judgment in ''Brown'' v. ''Newall'' ((1870), 2 M. and C. 558, 570), said: {{smaller block|Now, that that ''ex parte'' injunction was an order which ought not to have been made, is not in dispute. It has been subsequently dissolved, and nothing is attempted (570) to be said in support of it at the bar; and it is impossible that it could have been sustained. The order was a departure from the known and established rule and practice of this court. Nothing is so difficult as to bring within any general rule every case in which a special injunction ought to be granted; but, when an action has regularly proceeded, and is on the very eve of trial, an ''ex parte'' injunction to stop it is an order such as I have not before seen. The vice chancellor appears to have stated that the order was made under some misapprehension of the facts; and indeed it is quite obvious that it must have been so, for the vice chancellor could not have made the order if the facts had been thoroughly understood. It is very probable that some facts were then supposed to exist which did not actually exist.}} {{smaller block|I am not entitled, however, to assume that the order was made upon any other grounds than those stated in the affidavit which was used upon the application for the injunction; and I am, therefore, to see whether, on that affidavit, the parties have suppressed or misrepresented facts in such a way as was calculated to induce the court to grant the injunction.}} {{smaller block|I am most unwilling to lay down any rule which should limit the power and discretion of the court as to the particular cases in which a special injunction should or should not be granted; but I have always felt—and since I have been upon the bench I have seen no reason to alter my opinion—that extreme danger attends the exercise of this part of the jurisdiction of the court, and that it is a jurisdiction which is to be exercised with extreme caution. It is absolutely necessary that the power should exist, because there are cases in which it is indispensable; but I believe that practically it does as much injustice as it promotes (571) justice; and it is, therefore, to be exercised with extreme caution. The court can have no ground upon which it can proceed, in granting an ''ex parte'' injunction, but a faithful statement of the case; and where the court has found a party misstating the case, either by misrepresentation or suppression, the court has always exercised its jurisdiction, for the purpose of repressing that practice; and I am desirous to abstain from putting, by anticipation, a limit to that power. The extent to which the court is to go in so doing is only to be determined by the case itself; but then it must appear, upon the affidavits, that there was such misrepresentation. Now the affidavit upon which the ''ex parte'' injunction was obtained certainly does not state all the facts; but the question is, whether there was any such suppression or misstatement as to lead the court to grant the injunction. I do not find on that affidavit that description of misrepresentation or suppression which, in my opinion, presented a case likely to procure a judgment on the application, but different from the case which really existed.}} Thus we can easily see, even if we had the power, that it would be a dangerous experiment to allow Federal district judges to issue injunctions on simple ''ex parte'' affidavits as is proposed in the present bill. And it might be possible under this proposal to assign New York or Vermont Federal judges to a crowded injunction calendar in Virginia to determine who is qualified to vote in that State. Section 134 of title 26, United States Code, simply requires that a district judge reside in the district or one of the districts for which he is appointed and does not preclude his assignment to another district. In fact, Chief Justice Warren under section 292 of the Judicial Code—title 28, United States Code—may assign California judges to South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 292. District judges:}} {{smaller block|(a) The chief judge of a circuit may designate and assign one or more district judges within the circuit to sit upon the court of appeals or a division thereof whenever the business of that court so requires. Such designations or assignments shall be in conformity with the rules or orders of the court of appeals of the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(b) The chief judge of a district may, in the public interest, designate and assign temporarily any district judge of the circuit to hold a district court in any district within the circuit.}} {{smaller block|(c) The Chief Justice of the United States may designate and assign temporarily a district judge of one circuit for service in another circuit, either in a district court or court of appeals, upon presentation of a certificate of necessity by the chief judge or circuit justice of the circuit wherein the need arises. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 901.)}} The Federal Enforcement Act of 1870 attempted to do just what this bill seeks to do, that is, take away from the States the control of their elections and place that control in the hands of federally appointed officials. If anyone has any doubts about the failure of the Enforcement Act or even its constitutionality he should read the various decisions of the United States Supreme Court declaring almost every section of the act unconstitutional. When Congress finally got around to repealing that act in 1893 here are some of the frauds cited in Congress as reasons for repeal. They included 19,000 fraudulent naturalization certificates being issued by a single judge in New York State. They included payment in fees from the United States Treasury to a single Federal supervisor of elections and commissioner of the Federal court the sum of $145,000. Interestingly enough, repeal was initiated by a New York Congressman. See {{sc|Congressional Record}}, Volume 25, pages 1959, 1808. Mr. President, on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, I made a motion in the Senate to have H. R. 6127 in its so-called compromise form referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that I believed it to be a dangerous procedure to allow bills to come over from the House of Representatives and be placed on the calendar of the Senate without being referred to the appropriate committee. However, my motion was voted down 66 to 18, so the bill is now before the Senate for consideration. Since very few Members of the Senate were present at that time to hear my objections to the present version of H. R. 6127, I shall present my arguments again. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution because that would be the result insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common-law cases. These guaranties were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historic document their complaints against denial of the right of trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. After declaring that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the signers of the Declaration pointed out that the King had a history of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.” Then they proceeded to the listing of a bill of particulars against the King. He was charged with “depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.” That is what the Declaration of Independence contained. The King was charged, among other things, with depriving the American people of the benefit of trial by jury. That is the very thing I am fighting for—the right of trial by jury, which is contained in the Constitution, and embodied in it in quite a number of places. The compromise bill which comes from the House attempts to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The bill does not provide for a trial by jury unless the penalty is more than 45 days’ imprisonment or more than a $300 fine. That is a compromise of the Constitution. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. When the original Constitution was written there was placed in it article III., section 2, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. Then the Bill of Rights was adopted, and that right was provided in three different places. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and onetime Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. “The Bill of Rights,” he declared, “denies the power of any government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.” Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic law if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes, in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. When our forefathers met in 1787 in Philadelphia they wrote in article III., section 2, of the Constitution that in all crimes except treason a man shall be entitled to a jury trial. In several places in the Bill of Rights they wrote it again, with special emphasis in the sixth amendment that a man is entitled to a jury trial. Yet the compromisers brought forth a compromise which {{SIC|attemps|attempts}} to compromise the Constitution of the United States. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. The compromise would have been unconstitutional if it had provided that if a judge wanted to punish for criminal contempt he could sentence the defendant to serve 1 day or fine him $1. He has no right to fine him $1 or give him 1 day’s punishment in prison without a jury trial, because the Constitution says that in a criminal case a man charged with crime is entitled to a jury trial. I cited last night a decision which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and this so-called compromise which has come to the Senate is an effort of the Senate and the House of Representatives to get together, but in the effort to get together and pass a political bill—and that is all it is—they have been willing to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says, “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. If the Constitution had had an exception in it and read, “This shall not apply to criminal contempt or crimes of criminal contempt,” then there would be some basis for the Congress to legislate. But it did not make such an exception. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “The trial of ''all'' crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. What right has a Federal judge to use his discretion and tell a man he can be tried by a jury? The Constitution says if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to be tried by a jury if he wants to be tried by a jury. In the Constitution there is no exception of criminal contempt or any exception that gives a judge the power to try a man so charged rather than a jury. We are dealing with the basic rights of the people of this Nation and we should be careful to protect those precious rights which have been handed down to us by our forefathers. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. We cannot make trial by jury a matter of degree. If the Constitution gives a man the right of trial by jury, he has that right and we cannot take it away from him. The Congress cannot take it away. Furthermore, this compromise pretends to let the judge try the case if he wants to do so, in his discretion. Then if he finds the defendant ought to be punished by a fine in excess of $300 or by imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the man is entitled to a trial by jury. Do you not know, Mr. President, that if a judge has already tried a man, and then the defendant asks for a jury trial, the judge’s decision is bound to affect the jury in the case strongly, even if it were constitutional for that to be done, which it is not? Under this proposal if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days in prison he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of punishment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. I realize that Congress may want to get away from Washington. We have had a long, hard session. I also realize that both national parties are playing to the minorities by means of the right-to-vote bill, when each State in the Nation has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and section 594 of the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure protects the right to vote. Yet, as a political gesture, both parties are making this play to try to claim credit. Watch my prediction that in the elections of 1958 both parties will try to claim that they got the civil-rights bill through the Congress. Why are we not more interested in preserving the Constitution? Are we going to violate the Constitution by passing a political civil-rights bill in order to give thunder and political fodder to politicians to enable them to garner votes? Which is more important, the Constitution of this country or the political parties vying for the votes of minorities? I wish to see the right to vote exercised by every man who is qualified to vote and who wants to vote. If he is entitled to vote, I want to see him vote. But the true purpose of this bill is not to insure the right to vote, because we have statutes in every State, and we have statutes on the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure now already that punish people interfering with anybody trying to vote. If the statutes we now have on the books are not being enforced, what good will it do to put another statute on the books? If the Justice Department is claiming that there are any individuals who have been denied their right to vote, why does it not prosecute them under the present law, which is completely adequate? And if no people have been denied the right to vote, then why is it claimed that this bill is necessary? The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents and in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. Perhaps the House and the Senate wanted to get together and they thought this was the only way they could do it, but I want to tell the American people when they did get together and brought forth this compromise they violated the Constitution of the United States. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill. Like father, like son; a chip off the old block. Both are bad. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of the fine—or even 1 cent—and if a day, or even an hour, were added to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial, and a jury would decide the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. The proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was passed by the Senate. The inclusion by the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, made the bill a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, the present unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope a majority of the Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the ''bloc'' voting of the pivotal states. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about. Those are the words of Stewart Alsop; and he is not a southerner, so far as I know. To explain his point, he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States, Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election. The following four paragraphs are quoted directly from Mr. Alsop’s column: {{smaller block|In 1954, Averell Harriman was elected Governor of New York by less than 15,000 votes over Senator {{sc|Irving Ives}}. According to Harris’ analysis, Harriman polled a whopping 79 percent of the Negro vote. Negro voters thus supplied Harriman with his margin of victory several times over. Two years later, the Democrats had dropped some 90,000 Negro votes to the Republicans—or about 6 times the number of votes {{sc|Ives}} needed to defeat Harriman.}} {{smaller block|Or take another close race—the victory of Senator {{sc|Joseph Clark}}, of Pennsylvania, over the Republican incumbent, Senator James Duff, in 1956. Again, {{sc|Clark}} just squeaked in, with a plurality of less than 18,000 votes. {{sc|Clark}}, despite the Supreme Court, carried the Negro vote by a huge 76 percent margin, which was worth about 150,000 votes to him. Suppose the Negro vote had dropped off as sharply in Pennsylvania as it did in Illinois, where it nosedived from 75 percent in 1952 to 58 percent in 1956. Then Duff would be in the Senate by a comfortable majority, and {{sc|Clark}} would be practicing law.}} {{smaller block|Other examples could be cited, like that of Senator {{sc|Paul Douglas}}, of Illinois, who owes about 60 percent of his 1954 plurality to the Negro vote. But the lesson is clear enough. If the Republicans can attract something approaching half the Negro vote in the Northern States, the Republican Party will then be the normal majority party in those States.}} {{smaller block|Read the role of big States in which the Negroes can be expected to poll 5 percent or more of the total vote—not only New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but such States as Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and California. It then becomes clear what is at stake in the civil-rights struggle—nothing less than the future balance of political power in the Nation.}} But, Mr. President, are we going to compromise the Constitution, whether we lose an election or not? Which is more important—to win an election or to preserve the Constitution? It is about time that both parties began to consider the welfare of the country and to determine whether the Constitution is of more importance, or whether winning an election is of more importance. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today; but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law, eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of the bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Under the provisions of the compromise, jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge, so long as the sentence he metes does not exceed the maximum limit set for denying trial by jury. The proponents of the bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim, the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When the bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted the great legal mind of 18th century England, Blackstone. Because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him again at this time. This is what Blackstone had to say: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} That is what Blackstone, the leading legal light the world has known, had to say. I wish to repeat one of his sentences: {{smaller block|And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} Mr. President, a trial by jury is one of the bedrocks of this democracy. It is one of the bedrocks of this Nation. It is one of the bedrocks of this Government. When we talk to people in the street and to laymen generally about taking away their right of trial by jury, they cannot understand it, because they know that the Constitution provides that a man shall have a trial by jury when he is charged with the commission of a crime. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen, chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth, and the surest guardians of public justice. For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan of the United States Supreme Court delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, that is a significant statement to me, coming from a member of the present Supreme Court. I will not predict what the Court might do when the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury as embodied in this so-called compromise is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the people of this Nation want Federal judges to have the power to punish persons for criminal contempt by sentences of either days, weeks, or months in jail, or by fines of dollars, they can amend the Constitution and provide for it. If the people of this country want Federal judges to have the discretion of determining whether a person shall have a jury trial or not, then they can amend the Constitution and so provide. There is no provision and no exception for either instance in the present Constitution. That is certainly a clue to what might be expected from the Court when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. I think what the Supreme Court did in the ''Reid'' against ''Covert'' case might be a clue to what it might do, or what might be expected of the Court, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all of the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State. A summary of these laws was submitted to me, and I request that this summary be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. The people of my State vote. I am in favor of qualified people voting. All the people of my State vote if they are qualified. Whence comes this hue and cry? Those raising it have not presented the matter to the Judiciary Committee, so the chairman of that committee may hold hearings. They have held hearings for weeks and months on the subject, and the proponents of the bill have failed to present evidence to show that people do not have the right to vote. It is inescapable, as I have said, that this is a political bill and not a bill to provide the right to vote. The people already have that privilege. If any such incident as a refusal to permit a citizen to vote had occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. The people of the States are interested in justice just as are the officials of the Federal Government, but I shall return to that subject in a few minutes and go into the matter of the Federal statutes a little more fully. We have Federal statutes to protect the right to vote, if the voters are not satisfied with the State statutes, and certainly the Federal statutes protect them. I say that the Negro citizens in South Carolina are safeguarded in their rights; and the payment of a poll tax is not required. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. As I have said, South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. Registration is necessary only once every 10 years. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that the poll tax be repealed as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature acted promptly and submitted the matter to the people, and the people voted in favor of repeal of the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature approved it, and we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina, if proof is desired, can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia, S. C., Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that “estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina constitution which protect a citizen’s right to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 9, suffrage: The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{smaller block|Article 1, section 10, elections free and open: All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 5, appeal; crimes against election laws: Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 8, registration provided; elections; board of registration; books of registration: The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the 1st of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times.}} {{smaller block|Article 2, section 15, right of suffrage free: No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the record to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Code, title 23}}}}}} {{smaller block|23–73. Appeal from denial of registration.}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court.}} {{smaller block|23–74. Proceedings to court of common pleas.}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as Calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{smaller block|23–75. Further appeal to supreme court.}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make. If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} In other words, in our State, if anybody has an appeal and it goes before the trial judge and he denies it, the supreme court will go into session in order to hear such a case so as to be sure that nobody is deprived of the right to vote. {{smaller block|23–100. Right to vote.}} {{smaller block|No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct.

Also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, proves that there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right-to-vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an unusual grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department is not needed because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed, and he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved, and there is no indication that conditions will change unless the Attorney General and the Civil Rights Commission create trouble, there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of civil-rights matters in the Department of Justice. Mr. President, permit me to digress in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the Bill of Rights. I have before me a book entitled “Our Bill of Rights: What It Means To Me—A National Symposium,” edited by James Waterman, Wisconsin: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|Things of the spirit never die.

It is apparent that the expense attached to the defense effort will run into an appalling sum. The sweeping readjustments that will eventually reach every family are becoming clearer by the day.

But so be it, and although the disappearance of familiar patterns and habits of living brings a momentary shock, there must be no regrets, no longing backward glances. Neither can we afford to hang our heads, wring our hands and insist that we cannot defend democracy without destroying it. After all, the only disaster that will overtake us is the disaster that comes from indecision and inaction.}} {{smaller block|I like to remind myself of the origin of the Bill of Rights. It came into being at a time of great distress and clearly represented the desires of the people who had paid a high price for their independence, and were determined to keep it. Since that time it has weathered an internal conflict, foreign wars, periods of economic depression. Even during these emergencies there has been no foreshortening of the scope of the Bill of Rights, nor has its fundamental character been altered. Invariably after these crises have passed each American has turned his face homeward and found, to his intense joy, his personal liberty inviolate. This augurs well for the future. Perhaps the destructive forces loose in the world will assume more awesome proportions than any yet seen; perhaps the dangers and hardships of the civilian population will be greater than ever before; but I cannot believe that these new developments will serve to swerve us from our course any more than the vicissitudes of the past.}} {{smaller block|Undoubtedly it will mean a vigilant citizenry constantly on guard. But we have that. Undoubtedly it will mean leadership of the highest quality, but we have that, too. In fact, I can think of no more impressive reiteration of belief in the Bill of Rights than that made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress last January:}} {{smaller block|“In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.}} {{smaller block|“The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.}} {{smaller block|“The third is freedom from want. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The fourth is freedom from fear. * * *}} {{smaller block|“That is no vision of a distant millennium.

Our strength is our unity of purpose.}} {{smaller block|“To that high concept there can be no end save victory.”}} Mr. President, those were the words of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in speaking of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees a jury trial to the people of the United States, but which the so-called compromise civil-rights bill would deprive the people of. I read further: {{smaller block|We accept our liberty, as we do our health, pretty much as a matter of course, hardly giving it a thought until we begin to lose it. Then we become conscious of how much it means.}} {{smaller block|Experience throughout the long period of human history teaches that liberty must be won in every generation and can be held only by eternal vigilance. As foes of freedom the aggressors reappear with different weapons, but always with the same aim—to destroy the souls of freemen.}} {{smaller block|That religion and democracy are closely linked together is a truism proved amply in the history of our country. The American colonies were settled by men and women seeking a free life, as well as a home for freedom. Religion was written prominently into their agreements, covenants, pacts, and constitutions, but the early colonists made no provision for the the free exercise of religion. Those who had fled before the demands of conformity later determined by law that others must conform or get out of the colony. It was said of Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, if he had found toleration in his dictionary, he would have cut the word out, just as he drew his sword and cut the red cross out of the English flag because it represented the ancient Catholic faith of England. This attitude, formulated into law and supported by stern preaching, led to the founding of Rhode Island by Roger Williams and his associates. They were the first ones to put into practice the principle of the independence of the individual conscience even beyond the grants of liberty by the State. Maryland was founded by a small company of Catholics seeking freedom of worship in 1634, only 14 years after the Protestant Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth.}} {{smaller block|Under Lord Baltimore’s liberal rule there developed a large degree of freedom in religion, as well as a remarkable advance in democratic procedure. The people of Maryland not only took part in making their laws but were given power to originate laws. No other colony at the time enjoyed quite as much freedom, and in 1649 the assembly passed the Toleration Act which confirmed by law these liberties. Following this action, Maryland became the refuge not only for the oppressed Catholics from England, but Protestants from some of the other American colonies, Puritans from Virginia, Quakers, and others who found congenial homes in this colony.}} It is true that the Toleration Act was not very broad in that it tolerated only those of the Christian religion, but it was a step forward on the road to liberty and marked a greater advance than anything even in England at the time. It remained for the colony at Providence, R. I., to advance the act of toleration by granting full religious freedom to Christians and Jews and even to those without any religious affiliation or belief. The act affirmed “that men of all religions should live unmolested so long as they behaved themselves.” The Bill of Rights provides for freedom of religion. Our Bill of Rights provides for many vital rights which we enjoy. The study of the Constitution should be an essential part not only of the education of the American youth, but of all Americans, and especially those who have become naturalized citizens of this great Nation. While all of us cannot be trained in the technicalities of the law, we should have some idea of our fundamental institutions. We need to know their relationship to our daily life, the reasons for their existence, and the benefits we derive from them, as well as the importance to ourselves of their perpetuation. The Constitution is not self-perpetuating by any means; if it is to survive it will be because it has the support of the people—not passive, but active public support. This means making adequate sacrifice to maintain that which is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. The Constitution has its roots in the great and heroic past of the English-speaking race. Today, under that Constitution which was adopted through the blood and sweat of the pioneers of our country, the safeguard of personal liberty is ever present. Under our great Bill of Rights our governmental power is divided into three parts. The first is the power granted to the Central Government; the second that reserved to the States; and the third, and by far the most important, although at times the fact may not be generally recognized, the power reserved to the people under the many inhibitions upon both State and Federal legislation. In the turmoil which now seems to have engulfed the entire world, the citizens of the United States should well remember particularly that it is the people, those who go to make up the great cross-section of this country, who must guard the ramparts from the ever-increasing dangers of nazism, fascism, and communism. Our Constitution is the final safeguard of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure, but should it fall into disrespect or disrepute the way of orderly, organized government as we have known it for the past 150 years will be at an end. When the Federal Constitution was, on September 28, 1787, submitted by Congress to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, there was very strong opposition to its adoption in all the States. The Democrats, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, feared that the provisions of the instrument would unduly abridge States rights and result in a Government too highly centralized for their views. It was necessary for nine States to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth State, New Hampshire, gave its approval. The States which had not ratified up to that time were Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Virginia and New York gave their assent in 1788. When President Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Hall in New York, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had ratified and, therefore, were not States of the United States. These two reluctant States did, however, come into line. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The Bill of Rights was a pacer in the democratic movement in America and as such is entitled to all the prestige of leadership. Yet it really took a century after its enactment for American women to procure the 19th amendment to the Federal Constitution which compelled reluctant States to grant them the basic right of the free—the right to vote. Non-Christian men and freethinkers of their sex more readily wrested from State legislatures the guaranty of their civil rights. But even the original Bill of Rights would have been a dead letter if dauntless men and women, risking death, had not taught the public to listen without rioting to opinions which it abhorred. That educational process enabled the letter of the law to live in practice, or application, for the American way of life. In celebrating the original Bill of Rights now, we should celebrate with it the courage and skill of the men and the women who made tolerance a fact as well as a principle of law. The open forum, so characteristic of American democracy, owes its inception and its continuation to persons of both sexes who insisted that law and practice were parts of the same thing. That rights carry duties has become a third aspect of democratic evaluations, nurtured on free debates. It is increasingly understood in America that liberty could become license; that rights if viewed as extreme personal privileges could reduce society to anarchy. There is today, in connection with rights, the wide prevalence of the philosophy that rights are granted to individuals in order that they may develop their talents for competent voluntary cooperation in the thought and action essential to the strength of society, to general welfare, and to the very endurance of civil liberties themselves. A history of civilization could be written around the derivation of the privileges that constitute our Bill of Rights. The emphasis would be not on rulers and governments but on the struggle mankind has waged for centuries to obtain recognition of the rights of individual men. These rights are guaranties necessary to any people who wish to live in the free atmosphere of liberty. They are the foundation of any government that exists by the free will of the governed and not by the military force of self-appointed rulers. The history of our own Bill of Rights is fired with the determination of the American people to preserve their liberties as individuals living in a free state. It is significant that these first 10 amendments in our Constitution were drawn from earlier declarations of rights which a number of the Original Thirteen States had formulated for themselves before they joined the Union. They not only served as models for our Federal Constitution but became basic patterns for new democracies all over the world. Today there is abroad in the world a monstrous force that would set the clock back and reestablish regimes that rank the state above the individual. Already in many lands fundamental rights have been destroyed; and the existence of our own is threatened. Such crises have occurred before in the history of man but never with such ruthless vehemence and on such a worldwide scale. Mr. President, there are many objections to H. R. 6127, but the strongest objection is the failure to give a jury trial. I wish now to present to the Senate some information on the jury trial and I shall go into the historical development of the jury system. This information is coming from the History of the Jury System, by Maximus A. Lesser, instructor of political science, New York Evening High School. Some very important points are brought out here about the jury system which are pertinent to this debate. {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Historical Development of the Jury System}}}}}} {{c|{{sm|(By Maximus A. Lesser)}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JURY}}}} {{smaller block|The subject we propose to investigate is the historical genesis and gradual development of an institution which, today is an inseparable element of English jurisprudence and an important factor in the administration of justice, wherever the English or common law, “* * * the State’s collected will, o’er thrones and globes elate, sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.”}} {{smaller block|This purpose is not free from difficulties, for, while the nature and functions of the tribunal, as today existent, are sufficiently well comprehended, still the origin of that institution and the successive steps by which it was evolved are less clearly understood and subject to considerable misconception, as is evinced by the many and conflicting theories advanced in explanation thereof. It is the object of this treatise to reconcile, as far as may be, these various views, to give to each well sustained suggestion its proper weight and effect during the formative period, and to trace its influence in the production of the result. The method of treatment is, in general, chronological; for the English jury is so closely interwoven with the historical and political development of the English nation, that every component which contributed to the formation and completion of the latter had a concomitant effect upon the former; accordingly, the history and features of each foreign factor will be described in connection with that period of our history at which it first made itself felt. For to the jury may be truly applied, what Maine says of law, that it is a matter of growth, the result of the needs of the community in which it originated; and an institution—as another writer well observes—which “does not owe its existence to any positive law; it is not the creature of an act of Parliament establishing the form and defining the functions of the new tribunal. It arose * * * silently and gradually out of the usages of a state of society which has forever passed away.” We will, in the first place, regard its general aspect and characteristics as beheld today, and then proceed to consider whether, and in what respects, it is resembled by institutions of early days. The body with which we have to deal—in the language of an able Scotch jurist—“is the institution by which disputed facts are to be decided for judicial purposes in the administration of civil or criminal justice, and which is in modern times familiar to us under the denomination of trial by jury. * * * The etymological derivation of the term is obviously from ''juro'', to swear, whence we find this institution called in forensic Latin ''jurata'', and the persons composing it ''jurati''. * * * When the object is inquiry only, this tribunal is sometimes called an inquest or inquisition, as in the instance of a grand jury or coroner’s inquest; but when facts are to be determined by it for judicial purposes, it is always styled a jury.”}} {{smaller block|This board of inquiry, then, is composed of “a body of men taken from the community at large, summoned to find the truth of disputed facts. Their office is to decide upon the effect of evidence and thus inform the court truly upon the question at issue, in order that the latter may be enabled to pronounce a right judgment. But they are not the court itself nor do they form part of it; and have nothing to do with the sentence which follows the delivery of their verdict.” While, concerning the third characteristic element of our jury, De Lolme wrote that they who have the power to discriminate between disputed facts and “to whom the law has thus exclusively delegated the prerogative of deciding that a punishment is to be inflicted—those men without whose declaration the executive and the judicial powers are both thus bound down to inaction, do not form among themselves a permanent body, who may have had time to study how their power can serve to promote their private views or interest; they are men selected at once from among the people, who perhaps never were before called to the exercise of such a function, nor foresee that they ever shall be called to it again.”}} {{smaller block|In other words, the jury is the sole judge of the weight of evidence adduced and the arbiter of compensation for contracts broken or injuries sustained, and is composed of men selected by lot and “sworn to declare the facts of a case as they are delivered from the evidence placed before them”—its province being to determine the truth of facts or the amount of damages in civil, and the guilt or innocence of the accused in criminal, cases.}} {{smaller block|This province is confined by the following limitations:}} {{smaller block|(1) It is restricted to the consideration of matters proved by evidence at the trial;}} {{smaller block|(2) It is subject to the instructions of the judge, concerning the rules of law applicable;}} {{smaller block|(3) It is influenced by the directions of the judge, as to weight, value, and materiality of evidence;}} {{smaller block|(4) It is affected by the selection of the jurors from the locality of the action, whence they discharge their duties with a certain amount of independent local knowledge, whilom “counted on, and deemed essential to a just consideration of the case.”}} {{smaller block|Two other qualifications may be added. After the rendition of a verdict in a civil case, it is still within the power of the trial judge to modify or even annul the same, in a proper case; for instance, “because the verdict is for excessive or insufficient damages, or otherwise contrary to the evidence or contrary to law.”}} {{smaller block|Again, in a criminal case, a verdict of conviction, even when accompanied by a recommendation of mercy, does not control the sentence to be meted out by the presiding magistrate, who may impose the highest or lowest or any intermediate penalty prescribed by law as proper for the offense committed.}} {{smaller block|How, then, did this institution, whose features as currently administered have just been described, originate? What are the sources from whence it arose, and the forces by which it was developed? Did it spring forth, like Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, ready for action and fully equipped with forensic vesture and legal armament, or was its development the result of the gradual accretion of successive strata of growth? As stated above, various and conflicting theories are advanced to answer these queries.}} {{smaller block|“Many writers of authority,” says Canon Stubbs, “have maintained that the entire jury system indigenous in England, some deriving it from Celtic tradition based on the principles of Roman law, and adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans from the people they had conquered, others have regarded it as a product of that legal genius of the Anglo-Saxons of which Alfred is the mythic impersonation, or as derived by that nation from the customs of primitive Germany or from their intercourse with the Danes. Nor even, when it is admitted that the system of recognition was introduced from Normandy, have legal writers agreed as to the source from which the Normans themselves derived it. One scholar maintains that it was brought by the Norsemen from Scandinavia; another, that it was derived from the processes of the Canon Law; another, that it was developed on Gallic soil from Roman principles; another, that it came from Asia through the Crusades.” An American authority insists that it “is undoubtedly a development of English institutions and civilization.” Again, it is suggested that it was borrowed by the Angles and Saxons from their Slavonic neighbors in northern Europe; it has been traced to the assises de Jerusalem of Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed to be of divine origin; and, finally, a French scholar despairingly exclaims: “Son origine se perd dans la niut de temps.”}} {{smaller block|According to Robertson, “the true answer is, that forms of trial resembling the jury system in various particulars are to be found in the primitive institutions of all [Aryan] nations. That which comes nearest in time and character to trial by jury is the system of recognition by sworn inquest, introduced into England by the Normans * * * the instrument which the lawyers in England ultimately shaped into trial by jury.” The name “Recognition,” Bracton tells us, is deduced from the fact that the participants “acknowledged” a disseisin or dispossession by their verdict, and the inquest itself was “directly derived from the Frank capitularies, into which it may have been adopted from the fiscal regulations of the Theodosian Code and thus own some distant relationship with the Roman jurisprudence.” This is the system which, Lord Campbell writes, “in the fifth Norman reign had nearly superseded the simple juridical institutions of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors;” while an eminent American jurist, after observing that investigation has shown among Norman legal usages traces more closely resembling our form of jury trial than anything afforded by the system of the Anglo-Saxons, concludes:}} {{smaller block|“We regard it, therefore, as certain that all these influences contributed to establish this mode of trial in England, and to shape it as we know it to exist there. Indeed, it was not until all of them had had an opportunity of completing their work, that we find what we should now call a jury.”}} {{smaller block|A due regard for the definiteness of legal phraseology calls for some comment on the meaning of “law and fact,” terms so frequently employed in the course of this work. Law, in its widest sense, is a rule of action; in its technical sense, it is a general rule of human action, taking cognizance only of external acts, enforced by a determinate human authority paramount within a state. Whether the rule so enforced be moral or pernicious, is impertinent to the question. “The existence of law is one thing, its merit or demerit another.” Again, “although human actions are the subject-matter about which law is conversant, they are not essential to its existence; for the rule is the same, whether its application is called forth or not. * * * The rule continues in abstraction and theory, until an act is done on which it can attach. * * * The maxim, ''ex facto oritur jus'' must be understood in this sense; and the duty of judicial tribunals, consequently, embraces the investigation of doubtful or disputed facts, as well as the application of the principles of jurisprudence to such as are ascertained.”}} {{smaller block|Fact is a term most difficult to define—so much so that Mr. Justice Stephen (in the third edition of his Digest of the Law of Evidence) abandoned the attempt previously made. Webster’s definition (ed. 1859) is: “Anything done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event.” Negatively, a learned American jurist suggests that “nothing is a question of fact which is not a question of the existence, reality, truth of something.” Anything which is the subject of testimony is “matter of fact,” while “matter of law” is the general law of the land of which courts take judicial cognizance. Evidence is the means or method by which a fact under judicial examination may be proved or disproved. “Whether there be any evidence, is a question for the judge. Whether sufficient evidence, is for the jury.”}} {{smaller block|In any event, it is clear that the formula of Coke, hereinabove quoted, “was never meant to be taken absolutely. * * * It relates to issues of fact, and not to the incidental questions that spring up before the parties are at issue. The jury has to do with only a limited class of questions of fact, namely, questions of ultimate fact.” “In general, issues of fact, and only issues of fact, are to be tried by jury; when they are so tried, the jury and not the court are to find the facts, and the court and not the jury is to give the rule of law; the jury are not to refer the evidence to the judge and ask his judgment upon that, but are to find the facts which the evidence tends to establish, and may only ask the court for judgment upon these.”}} Mr. President, I shall next take up the history of the jury system of the Anglo-Saxons: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Chapter VI.—The System of the Anglo-Saxons}}}}}} {{smaller block|As regards the manner of men who now directed the destinies of England—for under that name (derived from the Angles) the island is henceforth known—and who indelibly impressed their characteristics upon it, and concerning their status in the scale of civilization, a graphic description is afforded us by the same historian. They “were little removed from the original state of nature; the social confederacy among them was more martial than civil; they had chiefly in view the means of attack and defense against public enemies, not those of protection against their fellow citizens; their possessions were so slender and so equal that they were not exposed to great danger, and the natural bravery of the people made every man trust to himself and to his particular friends for his defense. * * * An insult upon any man was regarded by his relations and associates as a common injury; they were bound by honor, as well as by a sense of common interest, to revenge his death or any violence which he had suffered; they retaliated on the aggressor by like acts of violence; and if he were protected, as was natural and unusual, by his own clan, the quarrel was spread still wider and bred endless disorders in the nation.”}} {{smaller block|Such, then, was the state of civilization which the Saxons enjoyed, and such the social and political structure which superseded the administration of the Romans. For almost four centuries the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—true to the characteristics of their founders—present a history of uninterrupted warfare, bloodshed and internecine strife, though Christianity had meanwhile prevailed among them. Wessex, however, gradually acquired the hegemony, and in A. D. 827 its King Egbert succeeded in securing his acknowledgment as supreme head of the heptarchy, with which event the history of the English nation properly begins.}} {{smaller block|Concerning their civil and social condition, at this period, after a sojourn of 400 years on English soil, it appears that “though they had been so long settled in the island [they] seem not as yet to have been much improved beyond their German ancestors, either in arts, civility, knowledge, humanity, justice, or obedience to the laws. * * * Bounty to the church atoned for every violence against society.” It cannot be doubted that, under ordinary circumstances, nationalization would have paved the way to improvements in the administration of justice, which, under the primitive system and the constant wars of the Saxons, had sadly degenerated. For, since “their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious * * * a union also in government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility. * * * But these flattering views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, kept the Anglo-Saxons in perpetual inquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude.”}} {{smaller block|The first great landmark in the history of English law is the reign of King Alfred (871–901), who, after he had restored peace, and either settled the Danes in or expelled them from the country, turned his attention to the administration of justice, which had become a mere name. His political and juridical institutions are recorded by Hume, as follows: “That he might render the execution of justice strict and regular, he divided all England into counties; these counties he divided into hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. Every householder was answerable for the behavior of his family. * * * Ten neighboring householders were formed into one corporation, who, under the name of a tithing, decennary, or fribourg, were answerable for each other’s conduct, and over whom one person, called a tithingman, headbourg, or borsholder, was appointed to preside. Every man was punished as an outlaw who did not register himself in some tithing.}} {{smaller block|“By this institution, every man was obliged from his own interest to keep a watchful eye on the conduct of his neighbors; and was in a manner surety for the behavior of those who were placed under the division to which he belonged. Whence these decennaries received the name of frankpledges. The barsholder summoned together the whole decennary to assist him in deciding any lesser difference which occurred among the members. In appeals from the decennary, or in controversies arising between members of different decennaries, the case was brought before the hundred, which consisted of 10 decennaries or 100 families of freemen, and which was regularly assembled once in 4 weeks for the deciding of causes. (Leg. Edw. c. 2.)}} {{smaller block|“Their method of decision deserves to be noted, as being”—at least in our historian’s opinion—“the origin of juries. * * * Twelve freeholders were chosen, who, having sworn (together with the hundred or presiding magistrate of that division) to administer impartial justice, proceeded to the examination of that cause which was submitted to their jurisdiction. And besides these monthly meetings of the hundred, there was an annual meeting appointed * * * for the inquiry into crimes, the correction of abuses, and other matters of public concern. If a further appeal were desired, or in controversies between members of different hundreds, the case was brought before the freeholders of the county (or shire) over whom the bishop together with the alderman presided. A final appeal lay to the King himself.}} {{smaller block|“Formerly the alderman possessed both the civil and military authority; but Alfred * * * appointed also a sheriff in each county, who enjoyed a coordinate authority with the former in his judicial (as distinguished from the military) function. His office also empowered him to guard the rights of the crown in the county, and to levy the fines imposed.”}} {{smaller block|Such was the system established by Alfred, and adhered to by his successors as far as those turbulent times permitted. For its promotion and perpetuation, as well as for the guidance of the magistrates, on whom the duty to administer it was incumbent, the same king—according to our historical guide—“framed a body of laws which, though now lost, served long as the basis of English jurisprudence, and is generally deemed the origin of what is denominated the common law.” While his judgment concerning the paternity of the system is, that “the similarity of these institutions to the customs of the ancient Germans, and to the Saxon laws during the heptarchy, prevents us from regarding Alfred as the sole author of this plan of government, and leads us rather to think that he contented himself with reforming, extending, and executing the institutions which he found previously established.”}} {{smaller block|Thus far Hume, whose profound historical researches, combined with his early legal training, certainly entitle his opinion to much weight. But the existence, among the Saxons, of any institution resembling the jury has been hotly contested, and the dispute whether it was known to the Anglo-Saxons or introduced as a result of the Norman conquest, may be thus summarized: Coke (in his Institutes), Spelman (Glossarium Archaiologicum), Blackstone (Com. III., ch. 23), Nicholson (preface to Wilkin’s Anglo-Saxon Laws), and Turner (Hist. Anglo-Saxons, IV., book XI., ch. 9) ascribe it to Saxon paternity. On the other hand, Hickes (Dissert. Epist. p. 34), Reeves (Hist. Eng. Law, I., 22, 24), and Palgrave (Rise and Progress of Commonwealth, I, 243) claim with equal confidence that it was introduced by or at least derived from the Normans and was not of Anglo-Saxon origin.}} {{smaller block|So Judge Cooley (Am. Cycl. IX. 722) approvingly observes that “so many of the attendant circumstances indicate that it was a Norman institution, bestowed upon his English subjects by a Norman king, that Sir Francis Palgrave has not hesitated to consider our jury trial as derived directly from Norman law” and Mr. Macclachlan (Eng. Cycl. III., 24) remarks: “Without entering minutely into this controversy, it may be stated that the traces of the trial by jury, in the form in which it existed for several centuries after the conquest, are more distinctly discernible in the ancient customs of Normandy than in the few and scanty fragments of Anglo-Saxon law which have descended to our time.”}} {{smaller block|The conclusion reached by Mr. Forsyth affords perhaps the fairest statement of the case, and may be advantageously quoted in this place: “It may be confidently asserted that trial by jury was unknown to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors; and the idea of its existence in their legal system has arisen from a want of attention to the radical distinction between the members or judges composing a court, and a body of men set apart from that court, but summoned to attend in order to determine conclusively the facts of the case in dispute. This is the principle on which is founded the intervention of a jury; and no trace whatever can be found of such an institution in Anglo-Saxon times.}} {{smaller block|“If it has existed,” he continues, “it is utterly inconceivable that distinct mention of it should not frequently have occurred in the body of Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary chronicles which we possess, extending from the time of Ethelbert (568–616) to the Norman Conquest (1066). Those who have fancied that they discover indications of its existence during that period, have been misled by false analogies and inattention to the distinguishing features of the jury trial which have been previously pointed out. While, however, we assert that it was unknown in Saxon times, it is nevertheless true that we can recognize the traces of a system which paved the way for its introduction, and rendered its adaptation at a later period [the reign of Henry II.] neither unlikely nor abrupt. * * * Of the exact mode in which trials were conducted in these [ante-Norman] courts, we know little; but the Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporaneous annals make frequent mention of two classes of witnesses, who play a most important part in the judicial proceedings of the time.” These are compurgators and official witnesses, who, together with other features of their system, will be more fully considered hereafter.}} {{smaller block|With the demise of King Alfred, his system gradually lost ground. “During the reign of eight kings who succeeded Alfred,” wrote Gilmans, “the country suffered constant invasions from Denmark, which became so oppressive that in 991 the King, Ethelred II., agreed to pay the Danes 10,000 pounds, called danegelt, to buy immunity. This sum was raised by a tax on land, the first one recorded in English history.” Eleven years later the same King planned and partly executed a general massacre of foreigners in the island (Danemort) which led to a fierce attack from the Danes, to the expulsion of the King, and to the establishment of Sweyn as ruler of England. His son Canute married Ethelred’s widow, a sister of the Duke of Normandy, in order, as it were, to legitimize his title, to strengthen his alliances, and to make secure the succession of his line.}} {{smaller block|When Canute, the Dane, mounted the English throne (1014) it might be supposed that he would transplant to, and incorporate in the system of, England the Danish quasi-jury or Nævninger—an institution common, with modifications, to all the Scandinavian nations—which derived its appellation from the fact of being composed of a fixed number of men (usually 12) named by the inhabitants of each district; a majority of those so chosen was competent to render a decision (subject to the ratification of the bishop and 8 best men of the district) in civil suits; while in criminal cases the accuser was obliged to convince the Nævn by sworn evidence of the truth of his charge, before the accused would be subjected to a public trial—this institution thus combining the functions of grand and petit jury with the exercise of judicial powers.}} {{smaller block|Canute, however, who was a lineal descendant of Alfred, and desirous of emulating that monarch, adopted a policy of conciliation toward the English. He had his succession to the throne ratified by a general assembly (Witenagemot) and publicly consented to restore and observe the Saxon customs and laws. In 1030, he addressed a letter “To all the Nations of the English”—under which designation he also meant to include the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—in which he said: “Be it known to you all, that I have dedicated my life to God, to govern my kingdom with justice, and to observe the right in all things.” That is, he refrained from making any essential innovations or alterations in the systems (political or judicial) to which his several dominions were accustomed, and in consequence Danish rule had no tangible formative effect on English jurisprudence.}} {{smaller block|The last of the Saxon line who ruled in England—chosen by the people when Sweyn’s family became extinct—was Edward the Confessor (1042–66) whom Hume deems commendable for his attention to the administration of justice, and his compiling for that purpose a body of laws which he collected from the laws of Ethelbert, Ina, and Alfred. This compilation, though now lost (for the laws that pass under Edward’s name were composed afterward) was long the object of affection to the English nation.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|CHAPTER VII.—FORMS OF TRIAL AND TRIBUNALS AMONG THE SAXONS}}}} {{smaller block|Having examined the social and political status of the Saxons in England, as evidenced by their history and environment, we may expect to find, on considering the judicial institutions, their personal characteristics reflected therein. Here, as there, we distinguish the same primitive system of administration, the same rudimentary ideas of right, the same regard for the efficacy of clerical absolution, the same adherence to old and meaningless forms, and the same reverence for the vis major.}} {{smaller block|The judicial system of the Anglo-Saxons depended for its administration on, and consisted of, four distinct factors or elements: these were, sectatores or suitors of court, the secta or suit of witnesses, official witnesses, and compurgators. These have been generally confounded or at least not clearly distinguished, and the misconception of their proper functions has given rise to many ingenious theories. In general it may be said that of all these functionaries the first class only performed judicial duties; the second and the third were species of witnesses; the fourth officiated (at least originally) in criminal cases only, while none of them were jurors. A delineation of the functions of each will be given, and a distinction attempted.}} {{smaller block|The name of sectatores is applied by Forsyth to the limited number of freemen “who attended the hundred, county, and manorial courts, to try offenses and determine disputes there; * * * and the obligation to attend was in the nature of a tenure, for neglect of which they might be distrained to appear.” For, in accordance with the customs of those days, “to do suit at a county or other inferior court was * * * one of the common tenures by which land was held, and the suitors, called sectatores, or * * * at a later period pares, were therefore bound to give their attendance.” Anciently their number appears to have depended on chance or convenience; nor do they appear to have acted always under the sanction of an oath; for to Reeves “it seems that causes in the county and other courts were heard and determined by an indefinite number of persons called sectatores,” of whom “the frequent mention,” he continues, “is no proof of juries, properly so-called, being known to our Saxon ancestors.” It would seem that this form of judicial tribunal was the modified outcome of a feature of the elaborate county system established by Alfred, and a result of the alterations necessitated and the encroachments caused by the incessant warfare prevalent after the death of that monarch, which must have greatly affected his system of government. The whole matter, however, is involved in much obscurity, and will be resumed, to some extent, in the chapter treating of the ''judicium parium''.}} {{smaller block|Concerning the second of the four classes, Professor Robertson observes: “The trial ''per sectam'' * * * resembled in principle the system of compurgation. The plaintiff proved his case by vouching a certain number of witnesses (secta) who had seen the transaction in question, and the defendant rebutted the presumption thus created by vouching a larger number of witnesses on his own side.” It was thus an application to civil suits of the principle, which governed the system of compurgation in relation to criminal causes. At a later period in Saxon history, however, it seems that compurgation was also extended to (and thus superseded the use of the secta in) * * * civil proceedings; or, at least, that the term “compurgation” was employed to designate both the criminal and the civil (''i. e.'', the sectatory) method. Indeed, the very name of secta became an alternative term for sectatores—the judges above described—which led to the confounding of the one with the other, and bred endless confusion and mistake.}} {{smaller block|At a more advanced period of the Anglo-Saxon dominion, when the defects of their mode of evidence and system of trial became perceptible even to their untutored minds, an attempt was made to partially remedy these defects by the official appointment in each district of sworn witnesses, whose duty it was to attest therein all sales, endowment of a woman ''ad ostium ecclesiae'', and the execution of charters. They were not subject to cross-examination, and their oath was decisive in case of dispute. Later, persons peculiarly qualified by circumstances (though not preappointed), were similarly sworn to prove age, ownership of chattels, and the death of one in whose estate dower was claimed. Hence in the Year Books (16 Edw. II., 507, A. D. 1323) we read complaint that one “may name ses cosyns et ses auns, who by his procurement will decide against us.”}} {{smaller block|The most important of the four elements, and that destined to play the largest part in the development of trial by jury, was compurgation. Under the Saxon system, in criminal cases the charge of the prosecutor or accuser sufficed to put the accused on his defense.}} {{smaller block|This defense was by means of the process of compurgation, which was in vogue among the various Teutonic nations (12 being the usual number) and rested on the maxim: “Nobilis homo ingenuus—cum duodecim ingenuis se purget.” Compurgators may be defined as persons, who supported by their oaths the credibility of the party accused, pledging their belief in the latter’s denial of the charge brought against him.}} {{smaller block|These were in no sense witnesses, for they might be wholly ignorant of the real facts in dispute; nor were they a jury, for no evidence was submitted to their consideration. They were merely friends of the party who summoned them; they knew his character, and by their united oaths they at once attested that character and their confidence in his truthfulness and the justice of his cause.}} {{smaller block|This mode of trial was brought into England by the Saxons, and Judge Cooley thus describes it: “Then the party accused—or, in later times, the party plaintiff or defendant—appeared with his friends, and they swore, he laying his hand on theirs and swearing with them, to the innocence of the accused, or to the claim or defense of the party. Little is certainly known either of the origin or of the extent, in point of time or of country, over which the trial by compurgators prevailed; but it must have had great influence over the subsequent forms of procedure. It fixed the number of the traverse (''i. e.'', the petit or trial) jury at 12, that being the common number of compurgators * * * and this was a great improvement on the varying and sometimes very large number in Greece and Rome.”}} {{smaller block|Where the compurgators coincided in a favorable declaration, there was a complete acquittal. But if the accused was unable to present a sufficient number of these purgers; or, “if the party had been before accused of larceny or perjury, or had otherwise been rendered infamous and was thought not worthy of credit—he was driven to make out his innocence by an appeal to heaven, in the trial by ordeal,” which was practiced either by the boiling water or the red-hot iron; the former being supplied to the common people, while the latter was reserved for the nobility. The nature of this institution is so curious and interesting, and its peculiarities throw so much light on the character of that age, as to warrant a fuller consideration of this primitive predecessor and sometime competitor of our criminal jury.}} {{smaller block|If the accused was sentenced to undergo the ordeal by hot water, “he was to put his head into it or his whole arm, according to the degree of the offense: if it was by cold water, his thumbs were tied to his toes, and in this posture he was thrown into it. If he escaped unhurt by the boiling water (which might easily be contrived by the art of the priests), or if he sunk in the cold water, which would certainly happen, he was declared innocent. If he was hurt by the boiling water or swum in the cold, he was considered as guilty.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator tell me the name of the case he is reading? Mr. THURMOND. It is the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. This so-called amendment that came from the House does not provide for a jury trial unless the judge in his discretion sees fit to give one; or unless he imposes punishment of more than 45 days’ imprisonment or a fine of more than $300. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator quoting at this point from a particular case, and, if so, will the Senator give us the name of the case? Mr. THURMOND. I am not quoting from a case at this particular time. I am going back into the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And to show how through the life of this Nation the jury trial has developed. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And how our forefathers in writing the Constitution put into it by article III., section 2, under which a man charged with a crime is entitled to a trial by jury. To remove any further doubt, when the Bill of Rights was written the same provision was made in several places. The sixth amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees a man charged with a crime the right to a jury trial. During the night, probably about 4 or 5 o’clock this morning, I did cite a case holding that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man who is being tried for criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know whether it has ever been held that criminal contempt is not a crime under the law of the Nation? Mr. THURMOND. I do not know of any decision in the courts where criminal contempt has not been considered a crime, and I have had all the authorities and ran them down. Criminal contempt is a crime. We have a decision on that point. When a man is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a trial by jury. However, under this proposal, the so-called compromise which came from the House, he will not get a jury trial unless the judge, out of the goodness of his heart, says “I think you are entitled to a jury trial, and I am going to give you one.” Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Or unless the judge tries him first and finds him guilty and finds that he should be punished by more than 45 days’ imprisonment or $300 fine, in which event he can give him a new trial. The judge tries him once, and then he will be tried again. I think there again the so-called compromise is unconstitutional because you cannot put a man in jeopardy two times. If he is tried once, he has been in jeopardy and he cannot be put in jeopardy again. The whole thing is a concoction to get a compromise on something for civil rights. It is purely an endeavor to get some kind of compromise; but it violates the Constitution, and I hope the Senate and the Congress will not pass it. Even people who believe in civil rights and have fought for civil rights are of that opinion. The distinguished Senator from Minnesota [Mr. {{sc|Humphrey}}] has made many speeches on civil rights. I remember one he made in 1948 at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, which I did not like at all because I am a States righter and not a so-called civil righter. I believe in real civil rights, but not the kind of civil rights which are being alleged here. I do not know how Senators who really believe in civil rights and who know the Constitution can vote for a bill which flatfootedly violates several provisions of the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know of any greater civil right any person possesses in any nation than the right to a trial by a jury of his peers and his neighbors when he is accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot imagine any civil right I would rather possess were I charged with a crime. I do not know of any civil right that is more vital to the people of the United States than the right of trial by jury. I do not know of any civil right that one could envision that could be more important. The right of trial by jury is most important because a man may be tried for his life. If he is not tried for his life, he can be put in prison. He can have his liberty taken away from him. It is only after trial by jury that a man in this Nation can have his liberty taken away from him. I do not want a judge to try me if I ever have to be tried. I want 12 of my peers, 12 of my fellow countrymen, as the Constitution provides. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Is not the right to trial by jury, in which a person accused of a crime to challenge any prejudiced person who might be on the jury venire one of the possible differences between the free system of government that exists in this Nation and other free nations as compared to the system of government that exists in Communist nations? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Senator has the vision to see and realize the importance of what jury trial means to the people of this Nation. I quoted during the night Associate Justice Brennan of the Supreme Court. I do not think a man could have made a stronger address than he made on the jury-trial question. Justice Brennan made a powerful argument for a jury trial even in automobile-accident cases. Even where property is involved—not liberty, not life, but property—he believed there should be protection to the citizen through jury trial. Under the so-called compromise civil-rights bill a judge can put a man in jail for 45 days, and some judges will do so if they have the opportunity. They will make it exactly 45 days if they want to punish a man. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Under the facts stated in regard to the situation in Washington Parish, La., it was contended that more than 1,000 colored people were denied voting rights. I am not sure if that was correct or not. Perhaps those people should or should not be on the rolls. But assuming the charge was correct, it would be possible for a judge in that case to put a person in jail for {{SIC|4,500|45,000}} days without a jury trial, alleging that there were 1,000 different offenses. Mr. THURMOND. I see no reason why he could not, if he tries the defendant on each separate offense, which I think he would have to do to sentence him for more than 45 days. If he tries the accused for one act of depriving a person of his right to vote, there would be only one act, and 45 days in my opinion would be the limit. But if a judge saw fit to try a man and sentence him to prison for 45 days, he could try him again on another charge with respect to a man who claims his rights were violated in connection with voting and the defendant could be given another 45 days. I do not think there is any limit to that. I think he could keep filing them. Mr. LONG: Is it not conceivable following such a procedure a judge could put a man in jail for his natural lifetime without a jury trial? Suppose he alleges that the defendant prevented 2,000 people from registering. That would be 90,000 days he could put the man in jail without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. While I think theoretically that is possible, I do not think actually it would be practicable. But it is theoretically possible to do that. I wish to read the distinguished Senator what Associate Justice Brennan said: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it.}} What is the Congress doing here if they let a judge try a man for criminal contempt, which is a crime? I quote Associate Justice Brennan further: {{smaller block|One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence—}} In my State they cannot comment on the evidence and I do not believe they can in the State of the Senator from Louisiana, can they? In a few cases I believe they can. Mr. LONG. No; not in a criminal case. Mr. THURMOND. I do not believe they can even instruct the jury except as the parties request instruction. In some States the judge cannot charge the jury at all except where the parties request him to instruct, so jealously is the right of trial by jury regarded, leaving to the 12 fellow countrymen, 12 peers of the defendant, the authority to decide the case. I wish to quote further from Associate Justice Brennan: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies, and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question to my distinguished colleague from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. I regret that because of my ill health, of which the Senator is aware, I was unable to be here. Mr. THURMOND. I am sorry, too. I thought about the distinguished Senator a great deal and inquired about him. Mr. LANGER. I am sure during the night sometime the distinguished Senator from South Carolina discussed how the jury system came into being; is that correct? The divine right of kings principle was set aside and the jury system installed in its place. Mr. THURMOND. That is right. I am going now into the history of the jury system. That is the very thing I am discussing now. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that in the State of South Carolina—and, I might say, it is true in some of the other States—the higher courts have set aside verdicts of guilty because of the presence of prejudiced jurors or jurors who did not tell the truth on their examination, when they were asked if they knew anything about the facts. We have always been extremely jealous under the Constitution to see that every defendant receives a fair and honest trial. I know that there have been such cases in the State of South Carolina as the type to which I have referred. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. I was a trial judge for 8 years, and came into close contact with jurors. I know how jurors feel. I know how the people feel. The citizens of this country believe in the jury system. It is a part of their nature to believe in the jury system. Those who have talked with me do not like the fact that the bill provides for compromising the Constitution in order to get a compromise civil-rights bill. We should not compromise the Constitution. That is exactly what this so-called compromise bill does, on the jury-trial question. Mr. LANGER. I am sure that when the distinguished Senator was a judge, if any efforts were made to influence a jury, either by telephone or letter, if the judge became aware of it, he promptly declared a mistrial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is correct. Any judge would set aside a verdict if a juror were influenced. Judges are human. Some people look upon a Federal judge as sacrosanct, so to speak—clothed with a robe, high, mighty, and arrogant. They are human, and they are subject to the errors of human nature, just as any other citizen is. They should not be entrusted with this great power, involving the liberty of our people, in violation of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that once in a while there is a dishonest judge. Is not that true? Mr. THURMOND. I presume it is. However, I have never heard of any in South Carolina. Mr. LANGER. We had a very dishonest Federal judge in the State of North Dakota at one time. I had personal experience with him. Time and again during my service in the Senate I have charged that judge with being dishonest. He is still alive. I did not rely upon Congressional immunity. I have made that statement often. I have never been sued for it, and I know very well that I never will be. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the distinguished Senator would not want such a judge to try him for criminal contempt, which is a crime. I am certain that the distinguished Senator from North Dakota would want a jury to try him. Is not that correct? Mr. LANGER. That is certainly correct. I believe that in the State of South Carolina, or any other State, the people will insist not only on good, honest judges, but also on seeing to it that the jury system is kept unimpaired. Mr. THURMOND. Some of the proponents of the bill think they are going to punish the South. However, the bill applies to every American. The bill will fly back in the faces of some of its proponents and their friends, and they will be surprised. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to discuss this question with the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. I was discussing the history of the jury system. I continue to read from “History of the Jury System,” in the chapter entitled “Trials and Tribunals Among the Saxons.” {{smaller block|It will be observed that it was the priests who had charge of administering these tests of innocence—termed ''judicia dei''—and they doubtless reaped a rich harvest from the monopoly of this privilege, commensurate with the wealth and the guilt of the accused.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator further yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In view of the fact that I mentioned a dishonest judge, I should like to give an illustration of how a dishonest judge operates. In the first place, when it is desired to obtain a jury which is dishonest, a special assistant United States marshal will be appointed. The marshal will walk into a store, for example, and say, “Mr. Jones, I would like to have you take 100 subscriptions to a certain newspaper.” The man behind the counter might say, “Why should I take a hundred subscriptions?” The marshal may say, “We are fighting the Governor of the State.” If the man takes 100 subscriptions, and pays $100, or $1 apiece for a year, his name goes into the jury box; and if he does not subscribe, his name does not go into the jury box. In the case to which I have reference, the slips which were put into the box were different. The names of those who were prejudiced against a defendant would be written on wide slips. The names of those who were not so prejudiced were written upon narrow slips. A clerk was conniving with the judge. I may say that later the clerk went to the penitentiary. He would feel around until he felt a broad slip, and withdraw that slip. A Federal judge has a vast amount of power. A judge may say, “I am not going to allow any of the defense lawyers to examine any prospective jurors. Let them write out their questions and submit them to me, and I will ask the prospective jurors whether or not they are prejudiced, or what answers they have to the questions.” Two or three days might be consumed in the effort to get a fair jury; but because of the fact that the Federal judge will not allow the lawyers for the defendant to ask any questions, the judge will finally get a jury which has not been thoroughly examined from the viewpoint of the defendant. That is not all. A dishonest judge, by the tone of his voice, can let the jury know what he himself thinks of the case. For example, the defendant may be giving testimony, and if the United States attorney interrupts him the Federal judge may say, “Well, let the defendant tell his story,” with a sneer on his face, for the benefit of the jury. When it comes to his instructions, he may, in a very low tone of voice, give the instructions he is required to give which are favorable to the defendant. Then he raises his voice and makes gestures which let the jury know he does not believe the defendant to be innocent. He tries to impress the jury by his loud tone of voice and the things he says in his instructions, which tend to prejudice the jury. I have seen it happen. I myself was a trial lawyer. I served at one time as attorney general of my State, and later as governor of the State. As I have previously stated, a Federal judge has a vast amount of power. He can name special bailiffs is he decides that the number of bailiffs in the court is not sufficient. He can appoint half a dozen or a dozen more, and have them carry revolvers to impress the rank and file of the jurors with the great importance of the case. A Federal judge can claim that his life is in danger, and he can have Federal troops escort him back and forth between the courthouse and the hotel. A Federal judge can have airplanes flying over the courthouse, to repel the mob, for the purpose of impressing the jury with the gravity of the case which is pending before it. I have gone all through that experience. When I came to the Senate one of the charges brought against me was with respect to the four Federal cases in which I, as governor of the State, was tried. A Federal judge who is dishonest, with all the power he has, need not be afraid of any governor, because he holds the position for life. During the history of the United States there have been only five impeachments of Federal judges. I well remember a case which was brought before I became a Member of the Senate. Senator Josiah Bailey, a very distinguished Senator, said to me in connection with that case, “I voted ‘not guilty’ on all counts except the last one. I voted ‘guilty’ on the last one.” It was the fact that he voted “guilty” on that count which resulted in the impeachment of the judge. We must take into consideration the money that is required, the lawyers who are required, and so forth. The Senate does not like to take up an impeachment case. Yet, that is the only remedy a poor man has in the matter of impeaching a dishonest Federal judge. I am frankly delighted that the distinguished Senator from South Caroline has been going into the history of how the jury trial originated. There was a great battle to obtain the right of trialby jury on behalf of the people of England before they ever achieved their goal. One of the very first of the English juries was sent out by the judge time and time again and asked to bring in a verdict of guilty, and the jury refused to do so. They were out for many hours defying the judge. Finally, the judge said he would put them in jail. One of the greatest calamities that could possibly occur in this country or in any other country would be to have the “divine right of kings” come back and the jury system made inoperative. I wish to thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate. Mr. THURMOND. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota is to be commended for his statement. Mr. President, it is not a question of civil rights. They have hooked to it an unconstitutional provision. It is now a question of whether we shall vote for a bill that violates the Constitution and takes away from citizens the right to a trial by jury. I believe it was at Runnymeade, in 1215, that there were wrenched from King John certain rights for the benefit of the people which were written into a paper known as the Magna Carta. One of the rights wrenched from King John and which the people had cherished so long and which had been denied them was the right of trial by jury. Mr. President, our Declaration of Independence starts out by citing grievances, among which was the fact that in many instances the citizens of the Colonies had been tried without a jury. That was one of the grievances brought up and included in the Declaration of Independence. When our Constitution was written our forefathers had heard their fathers speak of how in generations back the people had suffered persecution. That was why many of them came to these shores, to enjoy liberty and freedom. After studying the governments of the world at that time, our forefathers finally decided on the tripartite system of government, with its three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, which could check on each other. They did not stop with that, Mr. President. The States organized their governments on the same basis, so that what we have is what is known as a compound Republic. We have a division of power between the States and the Federal Government. We have a division of power between the different branches on the national level and on the State level. Our forefathers, when they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787, were determined that one thing would be contained in it would be the right of trial by jury. It is found in article III., section 2, and it provides that the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. It does not make any other exceptions for civil rights or anything else. It provides that all crimes except that of impeachment shall be tried by jury and that the trial shall be held in the State in which the crime was committed. Even after the Constitution was written, three distinguished men attending the Convention would not sign it. They were George Mason, of Virginia, who was the author of the Bill of Rights; John Randolph, of Virginia, another very prominent citizen; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. They refused to sign the Constitution even after it was written. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, would the Senator from South Carolina be willing to yield to me for the purpose of submitting a unanimous-consent request to the Senate to the effect that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears the telegram of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin may be read and the oath be administered by unanimous consent of the Senate, without my friend from South Carolina losing the floor thereby, and that his remarks thereafter shall not count as a second speech against him, and that this interruption be placed in another portion of the {{sc|Record}}? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield under those conditions. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears in the Chamber the clerk may read the telegram from the Governor of Wisconsin and that the Senate give its consent to the oath being administered to the Senator-elect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous-consent request of the Senator from Texas? The Chair thinks it also includes the provision that the Senator from South Carolina [Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}] shall not lose the floor. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. All the conditions enumerated, Mr. President. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, reserving the right to object—and, of course, I shall not object—I should like to be associated with the unanimous-consent request made by the distinguished majority leader. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I make the request on behalf of the minority leader and myself. I wish to make it abundantly clear that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears consent will have already been given to his being sworn in after the telegrams have been read; and that the Senator from South Carolina will still retain the floor and will be protected in his right to the floor and in the fact that he has made only one speech on this subject. Also, Mr. President, I request that the interruption be placed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and the request is agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. I thank the Senator from South Carolina for yielding. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was engaged in colloquy with the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Langer}}] ,at the time when we were interrupted. I should like to continue the colloquy with him. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from North Dakota for his questions and for bringing out the points he did. What I started to say is that when the Constitution Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 for the purpose of writing a constitution, the deputies, as they were called then, were confronted with the very difficult proposition of how the States would have representation. The large States wanted representation in proportion to population; the small States wanted representation according to States, regardless of size. Of course, they reached a compromise, and we have the two bodies of Congress. The Senate has an equal number of Senators from each State, regardless of the size of the State, and the House of Representatives is based on population. That is only one of the many intricate problems which had to be fought and settled by the Convention. It was a very difficult task to bring about the adoption of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question at this point? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. The Senator from North Dakota, as the distinguished Senator from South Carolina knows, is very much interested in the small States. The two Senators from North Dakota are very much interested in the small States. They have been battling and fighting for the rights of the small States. Today there are six States which never have had any Cabinet members. For example, take the State of Florida. It has now for 107 years been a member of this Union. Yet the State of Florida has never had a member of the Cabinet, although the city of New York under Franklin Roosevelt at one time had six from the State of New York. Take the State of Nevada. Nevada had an Ambassador. The State of South Dakota has never had one. Montana never has had one. Idaho never has had one. The Senator from North Dakota finally succeeded in getting one for North Dakota, the first one after 62 years of statehood. It seems to me that the Senators from these States and from the States of smaller population a long time ago ought to have gotten together and said to the State Department, “We demand that citizens of the States of lesser population also have some appointments as ambassadors, or occasionally have a man appointed to the Cabinet of the President of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree with the Senator, and what I said was by way of illustration. Mr. LANGER. Yes. Mr. THURMOND. The point I started to make was this: There were so many problems confronting the deputies in Philadelphia that they had a very hard time drafting a constitution, and even after it was drafted, it would not have been ratified if they had not promised the leading political leaders of the day that there would be a Bill of Rights. That is the only way they were able to have the Constitution adopted; and even then, George Mason, of Virginia; John Hancock, of Massachusetts; Elbridge Gary, of Massachusetts, refused to sign it. They did not want to take for granted any question about the rights to which the people were entitled, and one of the precious rights in which they were most interested was the right of trial by jury. The right of trial by jury was not only written in article III., section 2 of the Constitution, but in several places in the Bill of Rights. The right of trial by jury has been handed down to us as part of our Government as a great heritage, and we do not want to run the risk of losing that precious right. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true at the present time in one foreign country after another, to whom we have been sending foreign aid and with whom we fought in World War II., later in the Korean war—one of the very things we are advocating in these countries are reforms which will provide trial by jury. Is that not correct? Mr. THURMOND. I understand we have been advocating that other countries, in which we have been trying to help the people to set up democratic governments, accord the right of trial by jury. It is going to look a little inconsistent to those people to whom we have held out trial by jury as the ideal, when we pass a bill which proposes to take away trial by jury. Some persons do not feel this is important; some of them say, “Well it is a compromise. The House held to a certain idea and the Senate another; and it is a matter of getting together as best they could.” But this is a vital question. There is nothing more important, no right more important than that of trial by jury. Mr. LANGER. I assume the Senator means a fair trial, an honest trial. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. The experience the Senator has had as judge ably demonstrated that, did it not? Mr. THURMOND. My experience has been that a jury will come nearer rendering a fair verdict than a judge will, because there are 12 men on the jury—and Mr. Justice Brennan concurs in this—who hear the evidence and reach a conclusion. It is a most important matter; yet here in this so-called civil rights bill— Madam President, may we have order, please? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. The effect of the so-called civil-rights bill is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution says, in article III., section 2, that “the trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment; shall be by jury,” and then in the sixth amendment to the Constitution the statement is made again. It says, “In all”—it does not say in some—it does not say in all but civil rights; it makes no exception. It says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses.}} And so forth. instead of that, this civil-rights bill now includes an amendment—which has been added by the House of Representatives—which gives the judge the power to make the decision, without a trial by jury, unless the fine exceeds a certain amount of money or unless the period of incarceration exceeds a certain number of days. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair) Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true that one of the arguments used when the right of women’s suffrage was asked for, was that women should have the right to sit on juries? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that women be allowed to sit on the juries. I think it is very wholesome to have that allowed. Such a law has not yet been passed in South Carolina, but I think it will be; in my opinion, that time will come. Mr. LANGER. We who live in North Dakota have had such a law for many years, and it works very satisfactorily. Mr. THURMOND. I so understand. In some States, women are allowed to serve on juries, if they wish, but they are not forced to do so. In other States, women must serve on juries, if called. In other States, women do not have to serve at all on juries. Madam President, the bill of rights—and the right of trial by jury is the heart of the bill of rights—is the most precious document of the American people. Madam President, let me say to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota that when the Declaration of Independence was written, it included a very definite reference to trial by jury. I wish to read part of the Declaration of Independence, in order to remind the distinguished Senator from North Dakota of that fact. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, I shall be very glad to have the Senator from South Carolina do so. Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I read now from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.}} {{smaller block|We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.}} {{smaller block|He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.}} {{smaller block|He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.}} {{smaller block|He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.}} {{smaller block|He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.}} {{smaller block|He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.}} A little later in the Declaration of Independence, we find the following— Mr. LANGER. Madam President, it is very interesting to hear the Declaration of Independence read. Mr. THURMOND. It is, indeed. I read further from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.}} {{smaller block|He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.}} {{smaller block|He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.}} {{smaller block|He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.}} {{smaller block|He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.}} {{smaller block|He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures.}} {{smaller block|He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power.}} {{smaller block|He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:}} {{smaller block|For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:}} {{smaller block|For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States:}} {{smaller block|For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:}} {{smaller block|For imposing taxes on us without our consent:}} {{smaller block|For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.}} That was one of the cardinal points which was set forth in the Declaration of Independence, namely, that the King of England had deprived the colonists “in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}, in accordance with the previous unanimous-consent agreement, yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas, for the purpose of having the Senator-elect from Wisconsin take the oath of office. By agreement, the proceedings incident thereto appear in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) The VICE PRESIDENT. Pursuant to the order, the Chair recognizes the Senator from South Carolina. The Senate will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, a good many Senators were not here when I presented my views earlier during this debate, and I shall take a few minutes now to express a few points which I should like to have them hear. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution, because that would be the result, insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common law cases. As I have stated earlier today, I cited a decision during this debate to show that criminal contempt is a crime. Since criminal contempt is a crime, a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no way, under the Constitution, by which a man charged with a crime can be denied a trial by jury. Since the decision I have cited shows that criminal contempt is a crime, it simply follows that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. These guaranties to which I referred, in article III., section 2, of the Constitution, and in the fifth and seventh amendments, were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historical document their complaints against the denial of the right to trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. I am going to read the section of the Declaration of Independence in which our forefathers with courage and stamina severed their relations with the mother country, Great Britain, and established their own government. A list of grievances against the King was set forth in that document and among those grievances there was one pertaining to trial by jury. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|Depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.}} In other words, those who signed the Declaration of Independence gave as one of the reasons for declaring their independence and for cutting loose from the King the fact that they had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. Therefore we can see with that incentive in mind in writing the Declaration of Independence why there was such a strong urge in writing the Constitution to include in it a provision for trial by jury, and then later in writing the Bill of Rights, to provide a trial by jury without the exceptions which are contained in this so-called compromise that came from the House of Representatives. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and one-time Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. The Bill of Rights, he declared— {{smaller block|denies the power of any Government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.}} Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen?}} {{smaller block|The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional Government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic laws, if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes; in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.}} The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “the trial of all crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days’ imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. In this day and time I wonder, sometimes, if there is not too much compromise. It does my heart good to see a man with strong convictions, a man who believes in something, a man who stands for something and who is not willing to compromise on everything when there is a vital principle at stake. Mr. President, I realize that legislation to a large extent is compromise. That is perfectly legitimate when it does not involve the Constitution. But when it involves the Constitution, there should be no compromise. There should have been no compromise on this bill which comes back to the Senate from the House. There can be no compromise with reference to the manner in which the bill was amended. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of Government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was approved by the Senate. The enactment in the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, was a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope that a majority of this Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the bloc voting of the pivotal States. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that— {{smaller block|Behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about.}} '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', 12 members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies visit the Senate, and Mr. Thurmond’s is interrupted, so as to introduce the deputies appropriately. At the time in the ''Record'', several other matters are read into the ''Record'', namely, a “Message from the House,” the “House Bills and Joint Resolutions Referred,” and the “House Concurrent Resolution Referred.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, to explain his point Mr. Alsop cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the “Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States,” Mr. Alsop stated that it is “almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election.” In other words, Mr. Alsop says that the whole civil-rights fight is purely political, and the effect of it is that both parties are vying to get the Negro vote in the doubtful States. To explain his point he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in those States. Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any Presidential candidate could lose those three States and win the election. I shall not take any more further time to present the analysis he made, but he went into considerable detail. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today, but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of this bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether or not to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge so long as he does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed for denying trial by jury. The proponents of this bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected by it. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When this bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted that great legal mind of the 18th century of England, Blackstone, because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence. I have also quoted heretofore and cited a case which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That is a decision I have heretofore reviewed. I might refer to it again for the benefit of any who missed it, because that is an important point. I do not believe that some of the lawyers in the Congress have realized that criminal contempt is a crime. ''Bessett'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' (194 U. S. 324) says a contempt proceeding is criminal in its nature. ''Ex parte'' Grossman (267 U. S. 87) says a criminal contempt committed by disobedience of an injunction issued by the district court to abate a nuisance in pursuance of the prohibition law is an offense against the United States, and within the pardoning powers of the President under article II. of the Constitution. The ''Conkey'' case I just referred to, volume 194 United States Reports, page 324, defines civil and criminal contempt, pointing out that the latter, criminal contempt, is criminal and punitive in its nature, and the Government, the courts, and the people are interested in their prosecution. If criminal contempt is a crime, as the United States Supreme Court decision holds it is, then under the Constitution of the United States a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury. There is no ifs, ands, and buts about it. There can be no exceptions. Article III., section 2 of the Constitution provides: {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights, it is provided: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} Mr. President, when this bill was previously debated in the Senate, I cited Blackstone as an authority, and I may cite him again today, but I want to refer to a portion of this bill, to show how it violates the Constitution on the jury trial question. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to my distinguished friend for a question. Mr. LANGER. Could the Senator from South Carolina tell us how it happened that the Federal judges encroached upon the rights of defendants? How did they come to hold that contempt of court was not a crime? Mr. THURMOND. There is a long story about contempt and how it arrived at where it is now. I might say, in brief, and that is what my distinguished friend is interested in, that under the present law a man charged with criminal contempt gets a jury trial unless the Government is a party to the suit, and in labor disputes defendants get a jury trial even if the Government is a party to the suit. Under this so-called compromise which the House sent to the Senate, that will not be the case unless a judge in his discretion sees fit to give the defendant a jury trial, or the judge tries him and decides he wants to punish him to a greater extent than a $300 fine or a 45 days’ prison sentence, in which event he would then have a jury trial. Mr. President, under the version of the bill which was passed by the House of Representatives, the Attorney General could substitute the government for a private party, and thereby could deprive an individual of a jury trial. But the Senate amended the bill as passed by the House of Representatives; and the Senate sent the bill, as thus amended, back to the House of Representatives. The Senate, by means of one of its amendments, drew a distinction and delineated between civil contempt and criminal contempt. The amendment provided that if the purpose of the action the judge wished to obtain was compliance with his order, in the case of something to be done in the future, failure to comply with the order would constitute civil contempt; but if the purpose was to punish for something done in the past, failure to comply with the judge’s order would constitute criminal contempt. The Senate amended the bill, as I have stated, and returned the bill, as thus amended, to the House of Representatives. Then the House of Representatives added the amendment which I believe violates the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. It has been a pleasure, I assure the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. Mr. President, because of the authoritative place that Blackstone holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him at this time. Every lawyer respects Mr. Blackstone. He said: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law.}} That is what Blackstone said about trial by jury—that it is “the glory of the English law.” Blackstone further said: {{smaller block|And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under Providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} In other words, Rome, Sparta, and Carthage did not have trial by jury when their people lost their liberties. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen; chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth and the surest guardians of public justice, For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, that is what Mr. Blackstone said. No brighter legal mind ever shone in the brilliant galaxy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied to another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and he made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. * * * One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions.}} Mr. President, in my State the judge charges the jury as to the law, but he cannot comment on the facts. In some States a judge is not even permitted to charge the jury, unless the parties to the suit request it. I read further from the address by Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials, because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, those are the words of Associate Justice Brennan, in speaking about jury trials. I do not know how he could have stated the matter in much stronger terms. Mr. President, that statement by Associate Justice Brennan is most significant, to me, in that it comes from a member of the present Supreme Court of the United States. I shall not predict what the Court may do when the question of the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury, as embodied in the so-called compromise, is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill to be unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in the case of ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said—and this is the Supreme Court of the United States speaking: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Kennedy}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. If the Congress can say to the people of the United States that a Federal judge has absolute power to forbid a jury trial if the sentence is not more than 45 days in jail or a fine of not more than $300, and if such a law is held constitutional, what would there be to stop a future Congress from changing the amounts to 10 times those—in other words, let us say, to 450 days in jail and a fine of $3,000, or even more? As I see it, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is fighting for a principle. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. The principle—not the exact amount of the punishment or the exact amount of the fine—is the important consideration in this case. Mr. LANGER. In other words, the Senator from South Carolina is chiefly concerned with the principle, rather than with the exact amount of the punishment—whether it be 45 days in jail or a fine of $300, or whether it be more than that; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. Certainly it is a fact that the Congress should not give to any Federal judge the power to levy fines of $300 or to imprison for 45 days, without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Congress does not have power to do it if it wants to. Mr. LANGER. In my opinion, you certainly quoted excellent authority to sustain that view. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the Constitution provided that a Federal judge could give to a defendant a jury trial if he wanted to do so, or to refuse it if he wanted to do that, then there would be authority for what the House sent to the Senate. If the Constitution provided that in cases of criminal contempt defendants would be excepted from the jury. trial, the House would have been legally justified in passing what they did. But there is no exception to the right of jury trial in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution will first have to be amended in order that this so-called compromise bill, which has passed the House and is before the Senate, can be upheld. I cannot say what the Supreme Court will do, no one can say, but I do not see how they could make any other holding in view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is certainly what may be expected from the Court, in view of the statement I just quoted from Justice Brennan, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State, and I spoke on them during the night, starting with Alabama, and covered every State, including Wyoming. I cited the law and the section of the code, including North Dakota and all the States. They all have laws to protect the right to vote. In a few minutes, I am going to cite a Federal section to show that there is a Federal law already on the subject; so, if a Federal law were desired on the subject, we already have one. I think it is a matter that ought to be left to the States, but if people disagree about that, and if it is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, we already have a statute on the subject. But this bill is a violation of the Constitution on the right to a jury trial question, regardless. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Would the Senator be kind enough to read the statutes in South Carolina and Mississippi, if he has them? Mr. THURMOND. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. I shall discuss them in a few minutes. I do not know of a single case having arisen in South Carolina in which a potential voter has charged that he has been deprived of his right to vote. Had such an instance occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. When I was Governor of South Carolina, on May 1, 1947, I recommended to the State legislature that it repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature took favorable action and submitted the question to a vote of the people at the next general election, which was in November 1948. The people voted favorably on the amendment, and then in January 1949, or early in 1949, the legislature ratified the action of the people. Our poll tax was eliminated as a prerequisite to voting. So we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. We have a school tax, but no one has to pay to vote. Moreover, registration is necessary only once every 10 years. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina—if proof is desired—can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia (S. C.) Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that: “Estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution which protect a citizen’s tight to vote: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9. SUFFRAGE}}}} {{smaller block|The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10. ELECTIONS FREE AND OPEN}}}} {{smaller block|All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 5. APPEAL; CRIMES AGAINST ELECTION LAWS}}}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 8. REGISTRATION PROVIDED; ELECTIONS; BOARD OF REGISTRATION; BOOKS OF REGISTRATION}}}} {{smaller block|The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the first of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution.

RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE FREE}}}} {{smaller block|No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the {{sc|Record}} to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|SOUTH CAROLINA CODE—TITLE 23}}}}}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–73. APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF REGISTRATION}}}} {{smaller block|The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–74. PROCEEDINGS IN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS}}}} {{smaller block|Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–75. FURTHER APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT}}}} {{smaller block|From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make.}} I do not know of any other State which gives this protection. {{smaller block|If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} The supreme court will be called together to hear one man’s case on appeal. What more can we do than that? We have, first, the board of registration; next the court of common pleas, and then the supreme court. The supreme court will hold an extra session, if necessary, to hear the appeal, and even if there is only one man who feels that he has been disenfranchised, or disqualified, for any reason, to receive a registration certificate. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–100. RIGHT TO VOTE}}}} {{smaller block|No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct. But if the name of any registered elector does not appear or incorrectly appears on the registration books of his polling precinct he shall, nevertheless, be entitled to vote upon the production and presentation to the managers of election of such precinct, in addition to his registration certificate, of a certificate of the clerk of the court of common pleas of his county that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in such clerk’s office or a certificate of the secretary of state that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in the office of the secretary of state.}} In other words, if he loses his certificate, or has any trouble with the board—the books are filed there—if his name is on the book, the clerk will give him a certificate. If it is not there, he can even go to the secretary of state at Columbia, if there is any local prejudice or other trouble. He can go to the State capital, and obtain a certificate from the secretary of state. That is the protection we give. We have some others. {{c|{{x-smaller|23–349.

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. A little while ago the distinguished Senator said that he had before him the election laws of all 48 States. Mr. THURMOND. That is true. Mr. LANGER. Are not the laws of South Carolina more liberal than those of other States? Mr. THURMOND. I think they are more liberal with respect to voting. I think we have gone further than have most of the other States. We repealed the poll-tax requirement. We have given every opportunity to everyone to vote. I do not know of anyone in my State today who is denied the right to vote if he wishes to vote. Our requirements are not too severe. The only requirement is that the voter must be able to read or write the Constitution. The Constitution was used in order to have reference to some document. Anyone who can read and write can read the Constitution as well as he can read anything else. Or if he cannot do that, he must own $300 worth of property. If he meets either requirement, he can vote. Mr. LANGER. The Senator stated that there was a Federal law in this connection. Mr. THURMOND. Yes. Mr. LANGER. May we have the Federal statute read? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has just asked me about the Federal law on the books with regard to voting. I should like to have the Senator from North Dakota and other Senators hear this. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Case}}] and other Senators to listen to the statute I am about to read. Last night I made the point that every State in the Union has laws on this subject. Of course, if the Senator from South Dakota has already made up his mind, I do not wish to take his time. Will he give me his attention for just a moment? Mr. CASE of South Dakota. The Senator from South Dakota is listening. Mr. THURMOND. I do not wish to take the Senator’s time if his mind is made up. But if his mind is open, I want him to hear this. I made the statement last night that every State in the Nation has statutes to protect the right to vote. I called upon the Library of Congress to compile those statutes, and I read them into the {{sc|Record}}. They will be found in my speech. Starting with Alabama and going through Wyoming, every State has laws protecting the right to vote. But some people say that we need Federal laws. I do not believe many people know that we have Federal statutes on the subject. For some reason or other they must have overlooked them. I wish to read the Federal law at this time to show that there is a Federal law on the statute books. It is designated as section 594 of chapter 29, title 18, of Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. It reads as follows: {{c|{{x-smaller|594. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS}}}} {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the Office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} If anyone intimidates, threatens, or coerces another with respect to voting, or with respect to how he wishes to vote, or for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote, or to vote for whomever he chooses, there is a Federal statute under which a Federal judge can send him to jail for 1 year, or fine him $1,000. There is already a Federal statute on the subject. So why pass the bill coming from the House, or any other bill to provide the right to vote? The statute which I have just read is a criminal statute. It enables the Federal Government, if it wishes to protect the right to vote, to protect any man’s right to vote, because it can put a man in jail for as long as 1 year, or fine him $1,000 if he interferes with the right of anyone to vote. The only difference is that this is a criminal statute, and if a man were prosecuted under this statute he would get a jury trial. If we believe in the Constitution and in jury trials, we want to preserve that right anyway. The Constitution is clear on the question of jury trials. Article III., section 2, is specific on it. The Bill of Rights contains several references to it. The sixth amendment, in the Bill of Rights, is directly to the point. I have before me a decision—I do not know whether the Senator heard it or not—which upholds the contention that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man is entitled to a trial by jury under the Constitution of the United States if he is charged with criminal contempt. If there have been complaints to the Federal Government in any State of the Nation about people not being allowed to vote, why has not the Justice Department taken action under the statute to which I have just referred, and put offenders behind bars or fined them if they interfered with the right of other people to vote? The Federal Government has the power to do it. It is not necessary for it to have more power. The accused should have a jury trial. This is a free country. The mere fact that a jury returns a verdict which one of the parties may not like is no excuse for abolishing the jury trial. Either the Federal Government is not doing its duty in protecting people who have complained to it that they could not vote for one reason or another, or that voting has been interfered with for one reason or another, and has not given the proper protection to those people who complained to it, or there have been no complaints. If there have been any complaints, it was the duty of the Department of Justice to take action, and they could take action under the statute I have cited. There is no use beating about the bush and saying there is a duty to pass a right to vote bill. There is such a law on the statute books. Every State in the Union has such a law. The United States Code contains a provision protecting the right to vote. Let the Attorney General enforce this statute I have cited. If he has received any complaint from South Carolina about any man not voting, or has received a complaint from any other State, it is his duty to take action under the statute, and see that the one who interferes is punished. He can be put in jail for a year or fined $1,000. Mr. President, I am merely desiring to call this to the attention of Senators who are in the Chamber at this time, because so many of them do not seem to understand that we now have a Federal law on the books, section 594, which provides for the protection of voting rights. I do not know how it could be made any stronger. The Senator from North Dakota was asking about the South Carolina statute. I read from the statutes: {{smaller block|After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–656. PROCURING OR OFFERING TO PROCURE VOTES BY THREAT}}}} {{smaller block|At or before every election, general, special, or primary, any person who shall, by threats or any other form of intimidation, procure or offer or promise to endeavor to procure another to vote for or against any particular candidate in such election shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500 or be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than 1 month nor more than 6 months, or both by such fine and such imprisonment, in the discretion of the court.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|23–657.

Does not the Senator from North Dakota think those provisions add to the protection of voters? Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator be kind enough to repeat the Federal statute? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am particularly interested in where the Federal statute states that one can be both fined and imprisoned. Mr. THURMOND. It says “or both.” {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} But such person can get a jury trial, though. In other words, that is just another crime. It is like when a man is charged with murder or any other crime. He will have a jury trial. If he is found guilty, then the judge can sentence him to $1,000 or 1 year in prison, or both. That is a strong statute. Mr. LANGER. I want to thank the distinguished Senator for bringing that to the attention of the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is entirely welcome. I think it is a statute that a good many people may have overlooked. There has been so much talk about the right to vote and people not having the right to vote protected until I thought the Senate and the people of the Nation ought to know that not only every State has laws protecting the right to vote, but the Federal Government also has on the statute books a statute protecting the right to vote. As I stated, that is section 594, of chapter 29, title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be glad to yield to my distinguished friend. Mr. LANGER. For a question? Mr. THURMOND. For a question. Mr. LANGER. Have there been any decisions by the South Carolina Supreme Court on any of the statutes which the distinguished Senator has read? Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall offhand that any cases have gone to the supreme court. In our State everybody registers and votes who wants to, and I guess that is probably the reason there have been no cases taken to the supreme court. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, prove there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right to vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and}} {{smaller block|(3) appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an {{SIC|unsual|unusual}} grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and non-political, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I should like to have the Senator hear this. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people, to involve neighbor against neighbor. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others, to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make the testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate, before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A civil-rights division in the Justice Department is not needed, because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed; in fact, he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved and since there is no indication that conditions will change—unless the Attorney General and the Civil-Rights Commission create trouble—there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of a Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Part III. of the bill, as originally written—which was completely obnoxious—was removed. I have several times stated my views on part IV. I object to its grant of dictatorial power to the Attorney General. The Congress should never agree to place such authority in the hands of any one official of the Government. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which reads as follows: {{smaller block|(d) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. As I understand, in the case of the existing section 594, during all these years the Attorney General of the United States has had the power to enforce that section, and he has had the assistance of the United States attorneys in every State of the Union, and they have had the help of their assistants; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. In some of the States there are eastern districts, northern districts, southern districts, and western districts—for instance, as in the case of New York; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That also is correct. Mr. LANGER. And each of those districts has United States attorneys and assistant United States attorneys and United States marshals; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. So all the necessary machinery for the enforcement of section 594, to protect the voting right of any citizen of the United States who may have had his voting right denied, has been in existence all during this period of time; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. Can the distinguished Senator from South Carolina name a single case in which the Attorney General of the United States has tried to enforce any of these statutes? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator, I will say that I do not know about the situation in other States; but as for the situation in my own State, I have not heard of such a case. However, I can see why that would be; I can understand why probably there would not be any such cases in South Carolina. That is because anyone in South Carolina who wishes to register to vote, has no trouble doing so. But I have not heard that any cases of this sort have been brought in other States. Such cases may have been brought in other States, but I have not heard of any. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I wish to ask what additional power the Attorney General will have, if a new Assistant Attorney General is appointed, inasmuch as the Attorney General already has the help of other Assistant Attorneys General and the help of United States attorneys, whose appointments have to be approved by the Senate; they cannot be appointed until the Congress has consented to the appointments. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question asked by the Senator from North Dakota, I would say that I see no need for an additional Assistant Attorney General—who, if appointed, would receive a large salary. I see no need for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, because the Department of Justice already has a civil-rights section; and there has been no evidence of any need for a big division, similar to the one now proposed to be created. I think the establishment of such a division would simply mean the payment of more salaries and a larger Federal payroll and more taxes on the backs of the American people. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In other words, there has never been a time when, under present law, the Department of Justice could not have presented a case of that sort before a grand jury, if the Department had wished to do so; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. If there had been any complaint in either North Dakota or South Carolina, let us say, to the effect that someone had not been able to vote, although he was eligible to vote, all the Department of Justice would have had to do would have been to have the United States attorneys in those States look into the matter and take whatever action would have been appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his questions. Mr. President, a moment ago I read the provisions of section 131(d). It simply means that the district courts can, under that provision, bypass the State procedures, the administrative remedies under the State laws, and can take action, and thus can cause much tension, embarrassment, and trouble although it is not necessary to do so. If anyone cannot obtain justice through the administrative remedies of his State, then of course he will be able to go to the district attorneys, and they can prosecute under the Federal statute I have just read. But the use of the existing remedies under the State laws should first be required—which is the usual procedure one would follow. No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States should not be exhausted prior to having Federal district courts take jurisdiction in cases of election-law violations. In other words, I believe in letting the States run their business, if they will. A Federal statute already is in existence; and if there is need to use it, it can be used. But why not let the States handle the matter of voting and the other matters which are reserved to them under the Constitution? Let the States handle them. Then, if the States fail to do so or if they fall down in the performance of their duty, section 594 is in existence, and it can be used as a hammer with which they can be clubbed to death, if need be. The present proposal could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority, and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 spoke strongly on behalf of the Federal courts, during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. That is the point I made just a few minutes ago. I shall not go into further details with reference to the provisions of this part of the bill, but I am just as strongly opposed to it as I was when it was first introduced. I shall continue to oppose such grants of power to the Attorney General or to any other official. Mr. President, I based my opposition to H. R. 6127 throughout its consideration in the Senate on three principal points. I am convinced the bill is unconstitutional in several respects which I have cited. I know that it is unnecessary because the right to vote is fully protected in every State and under the laws of the United States where applicable. Finally, I know that the enactment of such legislation is extremely unwise. It is unwise because the sure result of passing this bill would be to destroy a great deal of the good feeling existing between the white and the Negro races, not only in the South but in every community where a substantial number of Negroes live. Nothing would be gained, but much would be lost. The Civil Rights Commission, by using its powers to attempt to force integration of the races, is bound to create suspicion and tension between the races to an even greater degree than the suspicion and tension which was created by the 1954 Supreme Court decision in the school segregation cases. Unbiased persons who are familiar with the segregation problem, and who observed the detrimental result of the Supreme Court decision, know that a traveling investigation commission and a meddling Attorney General could bring about chaos in racial relations. The chaos would not be confined to the South because the provisions of this bill will apply to every citizen in every State. However, the Attorney General, in exercising the discretion granted him, along with the extraordinary powers also granted him, must be expected to confine his investigations and his court actions to the States of the South. The South has often been derided and condemned on charges of sectionalism, but if the advocates of this legislation believe they will create greater unity instead of greater division in this country by the enactment of this bill, they are entirely mistaken. George Washington in his Farewell Address used his strongest language against those who would divide our country and urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern, Atlantic, and western—whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} H. R. 6127 is a blueprint for suspicion, confusion, and disunity. The laws of the Nation are dependent upon the customs and traditions of the people. Unless law is based upon the will of the people, it will not meet with acceptance. Government in this country derives no power except the power coming from the people. Laws which are not based on the Constitution, which is the basic statement of the will of the people, cannot be justified on any ground. Mr. President, when there is so much evidence that this bill is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unwise, it should never be approved. Force may subjugate the human body, but force by itself can never change the human mind. Laws, like leaders, must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. H. R. 6127 fails to measure up by any standard. It should be rejected. I appeal to every Member of this body who believes in constitutional government and the sovereignty of the people to vote against this bill. Mr. President, this bill, as I have stated before, has been widely called a right-to-vote bill. That is a completely misleading term. The bill, as I have stated, in my opinion, is unnecessary, because we have laws in every State to protect the right to vote. We have laws by the Federal Government to protect the right to vote. In the sections I have cited, a man can be punished severely for any interference with the right to vote. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}} yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas and other Senators, who requested the transaction of certain business, all of which appears in the {{sc|Record}} following Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, we have the finest Nation in the world. We have the finest Government in the world. In 1787 our forefathers met in Philadelphia and wrote a document called the Constitution. It was simply a compact between the States. Our forefathers came to this country to get away from tyranny. They had been punished many times without juries. They had been denied the right to worship as they pleased. They have been denied the right of freedom of speech. They had been denied the right of assemblage. They had been denied the right to petition the government, and they had been denied many other rights which we take as a commonplace in this country. They came here to enjoy the benefits of the Government they would establish to provide them those rights. After the States operating as colonies for a while felt the need of a central government for purposes of national defense, for purposes of commerce, for purposes of postal service, trade, and other reasons, they decided to form a union. They met in Philadelphia in 1787, and with deputies from all the 13 States attending that conferential meeting, all except Rhode Island—at that time Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals and ignored the whole proceeding—all with the exception of that one State, had deputies at the Constitutional Convention. They wrote a document to delegate certain of their powers—there were States before there was a Federal union, of course—to the Federal Government for the purpose of forming a union and a central government which could do certain things for the States better than they themselves could do them. At that convention there was a very difficult situation. The delegates had to start from scratch, so to speak, to write the basic law for a new nation. Much discussion and debate occurred there, but after working together for several months in Philadelphia they finally arrived at a document, or a compact, which was signed by the representatives of the States, delegating certain powers to the Central Government. Three of the delegates attending the convention were not pleased, and did not sign it. I believe I stated this morning who they were. They were George Mason, of Virginia; John Randolph, of Virginia; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. The other delegates signed their names, except one, who left, but had his friend sign it. The document was then presented to the States for ratification. Within due time ratification was had, but there was considerable opposition at the convention, and when the question of ratification arose, the main objection which was raised was that there was not spelled out in the Constitution a bill of rights. Some of the most powerful leaders in the States opposed ratification for that reason. Those who did not sign in Philadelphia opposed it chiefly, I understand, for that reason. The Bill of Rights is a document which we cherish. The Bill of Rights is the finest civil-rights bill in the world. The Bill of Rights is a genuine civil-rights bill. That document provides us with the fundamental civil rights which we enjoy in this country today. One of the bases of the Bill of Rights—and I like to call it the heart of the Bill of Rights—is the right of trial by jury. In the Bill of Rights, the sixth amendment is a trial-by-jury amendment. It provides specifically that any person charged with a crime shall be tried by a jury. I have previously brought out today that criminal contempt is a crime, and therefore, since it is a crime, a person charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. The bill which passed the House is a compromise, as most legislation is. Some people may have felt that that was the best the House and Senate could do, because the conferees got together and reconciled the differences between the two Houses. Ordinarily that principle would be sound in connection with legislation, but it is not sound here, because the effect of the so-called compromise would be to violate the Constitution of the United States. If the so-called compromise had provided that a judge, in his discretion, could try a man for criminal contempt, I would have opposed it just as much if no punishment whatever were involved, because the Constitution says that a man is entitled to a trial by jury when he is prosecuted for a crime. There is no discretion in the Constitution. There is no ''proviso'' in the Constitution. There is no exception in the Constitution. The Constitution is perfectly clear on that point. If the punishment provided in the bill in the House had called for 1 day’s imprisonment, or a fine of $1, I would be just as bitterly opposed to it. The Constitution of the United States provides that if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to a jury trial. Under the decision which I have cited here twice today, I believe, holding that criminal contempt is a crime, it is clear that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I do not believe that the compromise amendment is valid. I do not think it is constitutional. The amendment of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] delineated and defined civil contempt and criminal contempt, and provided that civil contempt proceedings were for the purpose of bringing about compliance, in which case the order would be issued prior to the act, and that criminal contempt proceedings were to punish, in which case the order would be issued after the act. If the House had accepted it, the American people would be guaranteed trial by jury in the event of a charge of criminal contempt, which is a crime. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield to me for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to ask the Senator if I understood him correctly to say that in his opinion the so-called jury-trial provision of the bill which has been returned to us by the House is invalid and unconstitutional? Mr. THURMOND. That is my opinion. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to say to the Senator from South Carolina that I completely agree with that opinion. It is impossible to govern the right of trial by jury by the discretion of the judge, according to the penalty he conceives he intends to inflict. I should like to ask the Senator another question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the distinguished Senator. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he agrees with me that the question of jury trial should be reexamined as soon as conveniently possible, and that I would be doing a wise thing if, when the new session of Congress assembles, I should introduce a repetition of the general jury-trial amendment, firm in the belief that the advocates of civil rights, upon examination of the pretended amendment which has come to us from the House, will discover that they have bought a pigeon instead of a swallow. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question, I will say that I agree with him that the bill should be reexamined; but I think the reexamination should take place before Congress passes the bill, and not wait until next January. Mr. O’MAHONEY. If the Senator will permit me to make this comment—will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND: I will yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I shall frame it in the form of a question. Does not the Senator agree that we are all weary and worn down; that most of us are almost as tired as is the Senator himself; and that perhaps when we return in January in the full vigor of our bodies and minds we shall be able to do a better job than we can do at this session of the Congress? I am going to introduce a jury-trial amendment in the next session in the firm belief that this jury-trial amendment accomplishes nothing; that it does not at all help the advocates of civil rights. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question I will say that I have been on my feet for the past 17 hours, and I still feel pretty good. But I agree that it has been a long, tough session. But even though it has been a long, tough session, I do not think we ought to quit now and pass a bill that the Senator and I both feel is unconstitutional. I think we should refer it to the committee, which I tried to do the other night, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. But I think this bill should not be passed at this session. I believe the Senator would prefer that it not be passed; but if it is passed, of course I should be delighted to have the Senator offer an amendment to correct the unconstitutional portion of it when we return in January. But I really do not see why we should have to pass an unconstitutional piece of legislation if we can avoid it. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for another question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. This question is a little different from the one I asked before. I am wondering if the Senator from South Carolina would cooperate with me in enabling me to pass a bill which does not involve any constitutional question. The Senate passed the bill without any opposition at all, and the House has returned it to the Senate with an amendment. I should like to move that the House amendment be concurred in by the Senate, and thus get the bill disposed of. Mr. THURMOND. If the Senator will ask unanimous consent for me to yield to him on condition that I can retain the floor, and, further, that I shall not be charged with a second speech when I resume the discussion of the present subject— The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Wyoming ask unanimous consent based on those conditions? Mr. O’MAHONEY. I do, Mr. President. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator from Wyoming this question: This is not a civil-rights bill, as I understand, is it? Mr. O’MAHONEY. No; it is not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Wyoming? The Chair hears none. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Mr. O’Mahoney, the “Approval of Contract with the Casper–Alcova Irrigation District, Wyoming,” is dealt with, as is a “Message from the House” and the “Enrolled Bills and Joint Resolution Signed.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina may proceed. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was speaking a few moments ago about the States and the Federal Government. I should like to remind the people of this country that we had States before we had a union, and that the only power the Federal Government had and the only power the Union had was the power delegated by the States in Philadelphia in 1787 and in the amendments to the Constitution since that time. All other powers which have not been delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States or to the people. I think the bill which is under consideration is unconstitutional. I think it is invalid. I think we are doing a useless thing. The proponents of the bill who feel that they are helping people, in my judgment, are going to find that there is just a lot of lost motion involved, because I do not believe the Supreme Court will hold this bill constitutional. I do not see how it could hold it constitutional. This compromise bill which came from the House leaves it entirely up to a Federal judge to say whether or not he is going to give a man a jury trial. That is not what our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. This bill provides that a judge shall decide whether he will grant a jury trial. Suppose he decides he will not grant a jury trial and then tries the defendant. Suppose he decides that the man ought to be imprisoned for more than 45 days or should pay a fine of more than $300. Then the case must be tried all over again. That is another reason why I think the bill is unconstitutional. When we once try a man we put him in double jeopardy by trying him again. So I think we are doing a useless thing here to pass a bill to provide that a judge can try a man and then, if he imposes above a certain sentence, the man can ask for a jury trial and then a jury can try the man. He would be tried twice. That is not only unconstitutional, it is also unfair, because if a judge tries the man himself and fines him more than $300 or sentence him to be imprisoned more than 45 days, then there is a trial ''de novo'', as they call it. But the judge’s finding of guilt is bound to influence the jury when the jury tries him a second time. It is my opinion that the man can plead double jeopardy. The distinguished Presiding Officer was a distinguished judge in Texas. Any lawyer knows that we cannot try a man more than once for the same offense. The bill coming from the House would allow the man to be tried twice. Mr. President, I want the American people to know what they are getting in this bill. They are getting a bill under which a judge can try a man and a jury can then try the same man. It is unconstitutional, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think it is extremely unfair, because the judge has already expressed his opinion, and if he is the judge who tries the case a second time he would be bound to show his feelings during the trial. Even if he did not show his feelings during the trial, in my opinion, his feelings would enter into the sentence after the trial. Mr. President, there are many things in this bill. I am not against civil rights, and I am not against voting. As I have said, the finest civil rights are those in the Bill of Rights. I am for genuine civil rights, not this so-called political civil rights. Both national parties that are pushing civil rights bills, this right to vote and other bills, are not doing it because they love the Negro. The southern white man does more for the Negro than any other man in any part of the country. This bill is motivated purely by politics. It is a political bill. We might as well face the facts as they are. Both parties are trying to play to get the Negro vote, and, in some States, if the Negroes vote as a bloc, which they should not do, they are herded to the polls like sheep and voted. If they vote as individual citizens, which they should, this would not occur. But for some reason, both parties think that they are going to vote as a bloc. I do not know how a few leaders do it, or just how it is done. But it is unfortunate, and it is unfair to the Negro, because it takes him out of the category of an individual. It takes away his dignity. It takes away his sanctity as an individual, in which he can take pride in himself, his accomplishments and his race and not be led around like a bull with a ring in his nose. But that is the feeling of both parties in this country. They think they can vote the Negroes in a bloc, and they are making this play on these civil rights bills, so-called. They are not civil rights bills. They are so-called civil rights bills. The politicians are pushing these so-called civil rights bills to make a play and try to get the vote of the Negroes in certain doubtful States. I have some good friends who are Negroes. I have helped many of them. I have represented them in lawsuits. I have loaned them money. I value the friendship of many Negroes, and I hate to see them treated like they are being treated. I hope that their real leaders, their genuine leaders, who are sincerely interested in them, will wake up some day and inform the members of their race just what is going on. Mr. President, there is no need in the world to pass this bill. In the wee hours last night, when most Senators were sleeping, I was here talking, and after I had the Library of Congress, Legislative Section, prepare for me, and I put into the {{sc|Record}} at that time, statutes which provide voting rights in all the States of the Nation. The {{sc|Congressional Record}} of last night contains those statutes of all the States from Alabama to Wyoming. In every one of the States of the Nation there are statutes that protect the right to vote. There is not a single one of the 48 States that does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. Why does the Federal Government have to have this bill passed? Is it not practically an insult to the States? It is. “We need it. The States will not enforce their laws?” If that be the case, all the Government has to do is to enforce the Federal statute I referred to today. Title 18, section 594, is the number of that Federal statute, which provides punishment for anyone who intimidates, coerces, or threatens any person for interfering with any other person in voting. That statute is as clear as a crystal. It provides for a fine of $1,000, or punishment of 1 year in prison, for anyone who interferes with the right of another citizen to vote. So, if there is anybody in this country today who is prevented from voting, all he has to do is to report it to the district attorney in his State, of if he prefers, to write the Justice Department. He can take that course, and action can be taken under that statute which is already on the books. Why put another statute on the books? Why put another statute which the Supreme Court will very probably hold to be unconstitutional? I do not know what the Supreme Court will hold. I do not like to take any chances with the Supreme Court. At any rate, the Constitution of the United States is clear, the wording is simple. Any seventh-grade child can read article III., section 2, of the Constitution of the United States and see that any citizen charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. He can also read the sixth amendment to the Constitution, one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and see that any man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It is very difficult to understand why the Congress, which is supposed to be composed of the brightest intellects in the country, or some of the brightest intellects, would pass a bill of this kind. Yet, if the Congress passes such a bill, this so-called compromise bill on voting rights, it will certainly amaze me if the Supreme Court does not hold it to be unconstitutional. I shall be badly disappointed if the Congress passes it. Of course, under the pressure of different organizations, left-wing organization, ADA and NAACP, both parties are dancing like jitterbugs on the civil-rights question, because they want to carry the doubtful States where the Negroes, although only a small percentage, if they vote in a bloc, can swing a State. I think it will be a great pity if the Congress passes this bill. I hate to see it pass such an unnecessary bill. It seems to me that every Representative in Congress and every Senator is practically insulting his home State if he votes for this bill. He is practically saying to the governor of his State and the legislators of his State, “Although you have bills to protect voting rights, we have no confidence in you, and although we have one Federal law, we are going to pass another Federal law, and ram it down your throats whether or not you want it.” I think it is almost an insult to the States. I suggest that they write the governors and see how many of them want this bill passed. I am wondering how many Senators in this body and how many House members have checked with the governors to find out if they want this unconstitutional monstrosity passed by the Congress. I do not believe 10 percent of the governors of the Nation would say, “We are weaklings, and we want you to pass a strong civil-rights bill because we do not have the courage to do it. We do not have the courage to protect our people.” As a matter of fact, Mr. President, the States already have laws on that subject, and I have read them into the {{sc|Record}}. The voting-rights statutes of the States have been read into the {{sc|Congressional Record}}, in the case of every State of the Union. Those who read the {{sc|Congressional Record}} will find them set forth there. Mr. President, if any Senator, on either side of the aisle, can state why it is necessary to enact another Federal law to protect the right to vote, I should like to have him do so, provided I am able to yield for that purpose without losing the floor and without having the remarks I make after yielding for that purpose counted as a second speech by me. I challenge any Senator on either side of the aisle to answer this question: Why is another Federal law needed in order to protect the right to vote, when there is already on the statute books section 594, which reads, in part, as follows: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose.}} In other words, one who intimidates, threatens, or coerces a voter, or even attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce him, may, under the provisions of this statute, be prosecuted. He may be prosecuted, not only if his purpose is to interfere with the right of such other person to vote, but also if his purpose is to interfere as to the person for whom such other person may wish to vote. Mr. President, are there teeth in this statute? There certainly are. This statute provides that anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, or attempts to interfere with his voting for whomever he wishes to vote for, can be prosecuted in a Federal court and can be fined $1,000 or sentenced to a prison term of 1 year. Do not those provisions constitute teeth and strength in the existing law? Of course they do. If there is in the United States, today, any person who is having any trouble in exercising his voting right, again I say that all he has to do is contact the Department of Justice or the district attorney in his home State, and action can be taken under this Federal law to punish any person who interferes with his right to vote. Inasmuch as section 594 is an existing Federal statute on that subject, why is it necessary to enact another Federal statute dealing with the right to vote? It would be absolutely useless, unnecessary, and futile to enact another Federal statute on that subject; it would be a great mistake to do so, especially in view of the fact that such a statute would be unconstitutional. Mr. President, please understand that I do not even concede that the Federal Government has a right to enter this field. Instead, I believe that these matters should be handled by the respective States. However, the Federal Government is already in this field—under the provisions of section 594, by means of which a person can be fined as much as $1,000 or put in jail for as long as one year, if her tries to interfere with the right of someone else to vote. Since the Federal Government already is in this field, why should another Federal law on the same subject be enacted? Mr. President, every day that passes, the Federal Government, here in Washington, D. C., is whittling away the rights of the States. It hurts me to see the Federal Government invade fields which are reserved to the States. I deeply regret that a bigger and more powerful Federal Government is being built up in Washington, D. C. This Central Government has become tremendously top-heavy. I should like to see the States have more power. Since World War II., the Communists have taken over approximately 17 countries. In doing so, they did not invade by means of troops using bayonets and tanks; those countries were not taken over in that way by the Communists. Instead, the Communists proceeded by way of infiltration. Poland was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Poles. Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Czechs. China was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Chinese. The Communists have been able to infiltrate into the central governments; they have been able to worm their way into the police systems, and then into the election systems. Then, before one could realize it, the countries were taken over by the Communists. Mr. President, why have the Communists been able to take over those countries? Since the end of World War II., they have been able to take over 17 countries, with populations totaling between 600 million and 800 million. The Communists have been able to do that because each of those countries has had a strong central government; and when the Communists obtained control of that central government, they were able to take over control of the entire country. Mr. President, the more we in the United States build up power in a strong central government, the more risk we run from the standpoint of subversive activities and infiltration. If the people of the United States have the vision to keep the 48 States strong—each with its own election laws and its own police system—there will be no way by means of which the United States can be taken over by subversion. But if more and more power is given to our Central Government, after a while the States will be nothing but territories, and will not have any power. Mr. President, the so-called civil-rights bill which the Congress is about to pass would simply take power a way from the States and would give it to the Federal Government. A Senator might say, “I should vote for the bill because it will help me in the elections.” Mr. President, Senators had better begin to think more about the welfare and safety of their country, and less about the elections. Mr. President, I am convinced that we must protect the States. The Constitution now protects them; but the Supreme Court and the Congress and the executive branch of the Government have been taking steps—by handing down decisions, passing laws, and issuing regulations and edicts—which violate the rights of the States and take away from the States the power they have. Mr. President, this development cannot continue to occur, if our country is to be safe. I am disturbed for the safety of my country. I am a brigadier general in the Army Reserve and if our country becomes engaged in an armed conflict, I am ready to serve. But we must keep our country stronger, or we shall find it engaged in conflict. One of the ways to weaken it is to weaken the States, as we are doing today, and to keep taking away the powers of the States and building up a powerful Central Government in Washington. It is the greatest mistake in the world. It was not contemplated when our Constitution was written. Our forefathers decided they would delegate a few powers to the Federal Government, and they spelled them out in the Constitution. All one has to do is to get the Constitution and read it. It spells out just what powers the Congress has, what powers the Federal Government has, but all other powers are reserved to the States and to the people thereof. At the rate we are going now, we will not have any States after a while. The Federal Government will have all the power. Mr. President, some time ago I read a book by a man by the name of James Jackson Kilpatrick, of Richmond, Va., printed by the Henry Regner Co., of Chicago, entitled “The Sovereign States.” I wish every American could read this book. I am going to read some excerpts from it today. I should like to have Senators listen to some of the passages in this book. This man is a great writer, a true patriot, and a great American. First, I am going to read a passage by John C. Calhoun, one of the five all-time great Senators, recently selected to have his portrait placed in the Senate reception room. John C. Calhoun, I think, is one of the greatest men this country has produced. I nominated him to be selected to have his portrait placed here, and I am proud the committee selected it. He was a man who had keen vision and a proper conception of the Constitution. There is one page in the beginning of the book by him that I want to read; it is very short. This is what he says: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Foreword}}}}}} {{smaller block|The great and leading principle is, that the General Government emanated from the people of the several States, forming distinct political communities, and acting in their separate and sovereign capacity, and not from all of the people forming one aggregate political community; that the Constitution of the United States is, in fact, a compact, to which each State is a party, in the character already described; and that the several States, or parties, have a right to judge of its infractions; and in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of power not delegated, they have the right, in the last resort, to use the language of the Virginia resolutions, “to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining, within their respective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.”}} {{smaller block|This right of interposition, thus solemnly asserted by the State of Virginia, be it called what it may—state right, veto, nullification, or by any other name—I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions.}} {{right|{{sm|{{sc|John C. Calhoun}}}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Fort Hill}}, ''July 26, 1831''}}.|1em}} This was John C. Calhoun. He wrote that at Fort Hill, and if any Senators want to know where it is, it is at Simpson College. In fact, his home was at the college. Mr. President, my statement was that Fort Hill is at Simpson College in South Carolina. Of course, that is the greatest college in the United States. This book on the sovereign State was written, as I have said, by James J. Kilpatrick. First, I want to take up his introduction, and then I want to present some excerpts from the book: {{c|{{sm|{{sc|Introduction}}}}}} {{smaller block|Among the more melancholy aspects of the genteel world we live in is a slow decline in the enjoyment that men once found in the combat of ideas, free and unrestrained. Competition of any sort, indeed, seems to be regarded these days, in our schools and elsewhere, as somehow not in very good taste. Under the curious doctrines of the Fair Trade Act, vigorous salesmanship is unfair, and retailers are enjoined against discommoding their fellows. Mr. Stevenson’s criticism of the administration’s foreign policy, during the last presidential campaign, was not that the policies were so very wrong: they were not bipartisan. With a few robust exceptions, our writers paint in pastels; our political scholars write a sort of ruffled-sleeve, harpsichord prose. We duel with soft pillows, or with buttoned foils; our ideas have lace on them; we are importuned to steer, with moderation, down the middle of the road.}} {{smaller block|These chamber music proprieties I acknowledge, simply to say, now, that the essay which follows should not be misunderstood. May it please the court, this is not a work of history; it is a work of advocacy. The intention is not primarily to inform, but to exhort. The aim is not to be objective; it is to be partisan.}} {{smaller block|I plead the cause of States rights.}} {{smaller block|My thesis is that our Union is a Union of States; that the meaning of this Union has been obscured, that its inherent value has been debased and all but lost.}} {{smaller block|I hold this truth to be self-evident: That government is least evil when it is closest to the people. I submit that when effective control of government moves away from the people, it becomes a greater evil, a greater restraint upon liberty.}} {{smaller block|My object is not to prove that the powers and functions of government have grown steadily more centralized, more remote from the people, for that proposition requires no proof; it requires only that one open one’s eyes. Rather, my intention is to plead that the process of consolidation first be halted, then reversed, toward the end that our Federal Government may be strictly limited to its constitutional functions and the States may again be encouraged to look after their own affairs, for good or ill.}} {{smaller block|A long time ago, the geometric mind of Edmund Pendleton offered a theorem. The State and Federal Governments, he said, must follow the path of parallel lines. Others have conceived the relationship in terms of spheres, separate but touching. The idea, when all this began, was that neither authority would encroach upon the other; and in the beginning, it was more feared that the States would usurp Federal powers than the other way around.}} {{smaller block|Now the rights and powers of the States are being obliterated. The encroachments of the Federal Government have widened its road to a highway and narrowed the road of the States to a footpath. Having deceptively added a dimension to the Federal line, the broad constructionists declare their faithful adherence to the plans of the original draftsmen. Soon, a geometry unknown to Pendleton can proclaim the apparent miracle of parallels that meet this side of infinity.}} {{smaller block|I do not know that the sovereign powers of the States may be regained at all. Justice Salmon P. Chase once remarked, with great satisfaction, that State sovereignty died at Appomattox. But I do most earnestly believe that an effort must be made to regain these powers. The alternative is for American Government to grow steadily more centralized, steadily more remote from the people, steadily more monolithic and despotic.}} {{smaller block|Only the States themselves can make the effort; which is to say, only the people of the States. Only if the citizens of Virginia, as Virginians; or of Texas, as Texans; or of Iowa, as Iowans, insist upon a strict obedience to the spirit of the 10th amendment, can the Federal juggernaut be slowed. Only if the people evidence a determination once more to do for themselves can the essential vitality of a responsible and resourceful society be restored.}} {{smaller block|I do not despair. So long as the I-beams and rafters of the Constitution remain undisturbed, the ravages of Federal encroachment may be repaired. A latent yearning for personal liberty, an inherited resentment against the authoritarian state, a drowsing spirit of independence—these may yet be awakened.}} {{smaller block|But again, the States, as States, will have to do it.}} {{smaller block|It will not be easy. In many influential quarters, it will not be popular. It is a sweet narcotic that centralists sell.}} {{smaller block|Yet there is high example to be found in what the States have done before to preserve their identity. They have not always been spineless. In times past they have resisted, now successfully, now unsuccessfully; but even in their failures, something has been gained merely in the assertion of State convictions.}} {{smaller block|My purpose here is first to examine the bases of State sovereignty; then to follow the State and Federal relationship from its beginnings under the Articles of Confederation through its refinement in the Constitution; next to review some of the comment on the role the States were expected to play. The place of the States scarcely had been fixed, it will be submitted, before advocates of consolidation began to whittle it down—first in the ''Chisholm'' case, which led to the 11th amendment, and more memorably in the Alien and Sedition Acts, which led to the “Doctrine of ’98” and the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of that year. It is proposed to follow this doctrine of the States’ “right to interpose,” in its various forms and applications down through the years, with particular emphasis upon the dangers of judicial encroachment and the need for State resistance against it. Finally, I have in mind to marshal some of the evidence which supports the case for the South in its immediate conflict with Federal authority, and to review other recent events that seem to me usurpations of the States’ reserved powers.}} {{smaller block|So much, then for the plan of this book. The political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall will not care much for it.}} {{right|{{sm|J. J. K}}.|1em}} {{left|{{sm|{{sc|Richmond, Va.}}, ''September 1956''.|1em}} That was the introduction to the book The Sovereign States, by James J. Kilpatrick. James J. Kilpatrick is one of the greatest editors in the Nation today. I will read certain excerpts from the book, beginning on page 3. First I will read a quotation opposite page 3: {{smaller block|The States within the limitations of their powers not granted, or, in the language of the 10th amendment, “reserved,” are as independent of the General Government as the General Government, within its sphere, is independent of the States. (Justice Samuel Nelson, ''Collector'' v. ''Day'' (1871).)}} Mr. Kilpatrick has done a fine job and rendered a great service to this country in writing this book: {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to here yield to the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, for a question. Mr. LONG. Did I correctly understand the Senator to make the statement that, according to the preface or introduction to the book, the book would be displeasing to those who agreed with Alexander Hamilton, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, the forerunner of the American Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. The editor said that the political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall would not care much for the book. Alexander Hamilton was a great American, but his philosophy was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. They were both great Americans, but Alexander Hamilton believed more in the theory of a strong Central Government, with the power residing in Washington. Thomas Jefferson’s idea was that the power should remain with the States, and that only so much power should be given to the Federal Government as was necessary to perform its functions as delineated in the Constitution. The Senator has probably read many books about Hamilton. In one of such books his philosophy is described in this way: {{smaller block|Speaking of education, Alexander Hamilton’s thought was to select some of the brightest young men and educate them, to make them leaders. Thomas Jefferaon’s philosophy was to give all an opportunity, and let the leaders rise where they would.}} So, when Kilpatrick wrote this statement I am confident that he was contrasting the philosophy of Hamilton more or less with that of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton was a very able man, one of the greatest Americans this country has produced; but his philosophy, as the Senator well knows from studying his life and history, was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it the view of the Senator that Alexander Hamilton would ever for a moment have approved of any proposal whereby an American accused of a crime would have been denied the right to present his case before a jury of impartial people who would hear the case, judge the evidence, and find him guilty or innocent? Mr. THURMOND. In reply, I will say no. I think Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both would have approved of trial by jury. They were both delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and they both rendered magnificent service in many ways. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, if the Senator will further yield, I believe he will find that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, did the Senator yield for a question or a statemen? Mr. LONG. The Senator yielded for a question. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the Senator from Louisiana for a question. The Senator is correct about Thomas Jefferson. I had in mind Madison. Mr. LONG. Does not the Senator realize that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention? The Senator is perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the convention which adopted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. Is not, the Senator perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of those who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson was the American Ambassador to France at the time the Constitution was drafted. Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Thomas Jefferson was Ambassador to France, but Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York State, and he signed the Constitution. In fact, he was the only delegate from New York State who signed the Constitution. When I spoke a few minutes ago about Jefferson, I was thinking about Madison. Madison signed the Constitution, as did Blair. Both were from Virginia. George Washington presided over the Convention. Mr. LONG. Is there any doubt in the Senator’s mind that, so far as Alexander Hamilton was concerned, he would never for a moment have contested the right of any citizen to be tried before a jury if he were accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I agree. If he had taken any other position, he would not have signed the Constitution. As I have stated, Alexander Hamilton was the only delegate from the State of New York who signed the Constitution as representing the State of New York. In the original Constitution, article III, section 2, provided for jury trial. Mr. LONG. Is it not, therefore, true that insofar as the right of a citizen to be tried by jury for a crime is concerned, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would have agreed 100 percent that the freedoms guaranteed Americans under their form of government included the right to be tried by a jury of their own neighbors, in the area where the crime was committed, in the event they were accused of committing a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I can yield only for a question. I shall be glad to express myself after the Senator has concluded. Let the Senator ask any question he wishes. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to state that, although the book from which the Senator is reading may not reflect the views of Alexander Hamilton, it is nevertheless correct to state that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would both have agreed that anyone accused of a crime should have the right to be tried before a jury of his neighbors? Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree. In my judgment, if Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were living today, and both were Members of the Senate, both would be fighting for the right to a jury trial, as provided in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to say that so far as we can determine there has never been a man who served in this body, and who was regarded as a great statesman, who has ever at any time advocated that American citizens should be denied their right to be tried by a jury in the event they were accused of committing a crime against the United States or against a State? Mr. THURMOND. I think the able Senator is eminently correct. I do not know of a great man in our history, any man whom I would consider great, whose name is on the lips of the people—I cannot think of a single one in our history who would take a position in opposition to jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Scott}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from Louisiana? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to paraphrase more or less the words of Shakespeare, that those American politicians who have fought against the freedom of Americans to be tried by a jury when accused of a crime have been politicians who more or less strutted and strutted their brief hour on the stage to be heard from no more? Mr. THURMOND. I do not think any man who takes a stand against giving a person a jury trial will be long remembered after he has gone or when his record is searched and it is found that he opposed a jury trial. I think we would immediately call for a reappraisal of his whole life in the event he had been considered a great man previous to that time. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that men like George Norris, William Borah, and Robert M. La Follette, who fought through the years for the right of trial by jury, have statues standing in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. In fact, there is a quotation from George Norris which I read last night. If I can put my hand on it I should like to read it to the Senator from Louisiana. I have never read a stronger statement in behalf of a jury trial. He said that in all cases a man should have a jury trial. The distinguished Senator from Virginia [Mr. {{sc|Byrd}}] and the distinguished Senator from Mississippi [Mr. {{sc|Eastland}}] and I introduced a bill in March to provide the very type of jury trial which Senator Norris recommended. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. The Senator from South Carolina having made a great study of all these matters involving jury trials, the freedom of Americans, and States rights, can he now name from memory a single one of those Senators who made a fight down through the years to deny American citizens of the right of trial by jury? Mr. THURMOND. I could not name a single man whom I considered a great man or a great Senator who opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator recall the names of any Americans who have served in this body and who have made a fight against the right of a man accused of a crime to be tried by a jury? Can the Senator offhand recall the name of any such person? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot recall the name of any American of any stature within my recollection who has opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator Borah’s statue is just outside the main entrance of the Senate Chamber, immediately outside the door? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. I see it every time I go through the door. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator William E. Borah, a great constitutional lawyer, even though he came from a very small Western State, population considered, was seriously considered by the Republican Party as its nominee for the Presidency of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. I have been told that. I did not know the Senator personally; only through reputation. But I know he was a great American. He declared on April 8, 1930: {{smaller block|I am not contending here that labor organizations can at any time employ threats, force, or violence or intimidation. They must keep within the law—}} He was referring there to jury trials in labor cases. I have a long report including a speech by Senator Norris on May 2, 1930. I read it last night— Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question at that point? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that those who oppose the right of jury trials are basically those who do not believe in the freedoms that Americans enjoy under the Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. I certainly agree with the Senator. I think the jury trial is one of the greatest freedoms we have. I look upon it as the heart of the Bill of Rights. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? MT. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that persons who fear that juries may not convict guilty persons are those who really have very little confidence in the determination of people to uphold free government? Mr. THURMOND. It seems to me they could not have much confidence in human nature; otherwise they would favor jury trials. To be tried by a man’s neighbors, his peers, his fellow men, is the fairest way a man could be tried. I sat on the bench for 8 years and tried many cases, but I always felt much better about it when a jury passed on the question. I watched closely the verdicts of juries. I was deeply impressed. I feel that juries come nearer to meting out justice to criminals than it can be done in any other way. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Recognizing the fact that it is possible for a jury to turn a guilty person free, is it not also true that the freedoms which Americans enjoy under their Constitution were calculated in such fashion as to express the philosophy that it is better to turn 9 guilty men free than to send 1 innocent man to the penitentiary or to his death? Mr. THURMOND. I never did go on the theory of nine guilty ones being turned loose. There is no doubt that there is a common saying to that effect. If I had to make a decision as to whether I would turn 9 guilty ones loose, or put 1 innocent man in prison, I would turn the 9 loose. I think that would be the thinking and the feeling of the average American. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Does not this logic become conclusively clear when we contemplate for a moment a capital punishment case where it is possible to put an innocent man to death? In such a situation, would it not be better for the court to turn 9 culprits loose rather than to kill 1 innocent man? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. There is no question about it. Some juries make mistakes. Anybody in any kind of work makes mistakes. Everybody has weaknesses and there are bound to be errors. Judges make mistakes. Of course, often a judge’s philosophy is different. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that anyone can make mistakes, is it not somewhat better that the scales of justice should be weighted a little in favor of finding a person innocent when there is a considerable doubt as to whether the person is innocent or guilty? Mr. THURMOND. Our law is based on the presumption that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a common legal principle that any lawyer knows about who has practiced any criminal law. I do not know precisely what the Senator had in mind on that, though, for this reason: I do not think if a man is given a jury trial, a jury necessarily lets him go free. I think a jury is going to do what it thinks is right unless it is biased, or has been approached in some way, or influenced in some way. Of course, that happens sometimes. It does not happen often, but I think it does happen sometimes. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Can the Senator imagine a judge who issues an order ordering the entire world to comply with his injunction as being as fair and impartial as a jury before which a case involving a violation of his order should be tried? Mr. THURMOND. When a judge hears a contempt case he is the legislator, he is the prosecutor, he is the judge, and he is the jury. If I were a judge and if such a law as is here proposed were on the books, if I were back on the bench, and if I had to act under this type law, I would submit it to the jury anyway. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that it is contemplated that a judge makes a law by issuing the injunction and then cites the individuals whom he cares to cite, can the Senator think of anything any more inappropriate than the judge who makes the law, addressed to individuals, should be the same person to try the same individuals for violating his own order? Does the Senator not believe that any judge worthy of the name would at least want to have a jury to prove that justice is being done to people who violated his own order? Mr. THURMOND. I think the Senator is eminently correct. It is unfortunate that a judge who issues an order of contempt has to try the case, because he has already made up his mind to a certain degree. Of course, that might be removed. But still he has made up his mind, or he would not issue the order. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that a person who is responsible for issuing the edict and commanding people to do certain things at his discretion should be the last person to make the final decision on who should be punished for not obeying his order? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. In fact, this is known as injunction-made law. That is what it is. It is injunction-made law, and it is bad law. It is much better to have a jury trial. That is the American way of doing things. That is one of the grievances complained of by those who signed the Declaration of Independence, as I have brought out, namely, that in a great many cases they were denied jury trials. Provisions for jury trial are embodied in several places in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so there is no question about the whole intent of our judicial system. Our administration of justice has been based upon jury trials. I think it is one of the most fundamental principles embodied in our type of government. If this so-called compromise amendment were to go a little bit further, it would sound more like a Communist amendment. I do not believe I read what Senator Norris said about jury trial. He said: {{smaller block|I wonder if a suffering people, whose forefathers fought for liberty, are going to give up the idea of it in this day and age, in this civilized day, and are going to submit to injunction-made law.}} He was wondering whether they were going to submit to it. {{c|{{x-smaller|1. THE BEGINNINGS}}}} {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} {{smaller block|This was on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, June 12, 1788, in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill in Richmond. The Virginia Convention had been grappling for 10 days with the new Constitution, and Edmund Pendleton, aging and crippled, had been sitting in dignified silence for as long as he could stand it. Patrick Henry, who was a hard man to live with at any time, was being especially difficult. Once before, on the 5th, Pendleton bad attempted to soothe him, but Henry was not to be soothed.}} {{smaller block|The State and Federal Governments would be at war with one another, Henry had predicted, and the State governments ultimately would be destroyed and consolidated into the General Government. One by one their powers would be snatched from them. A rapacious Federal authority, ever seeking to expand its grasp, could not be confined by the States.}} {{smaller block|“Notwithstanding what the worthy gentleman said,” remarked Mr. Pendleton with some warmth, for there were times when he regarded Mr. Henry as neither worthy nor a gentleman. “I believe I am still correct, and insist that, if each power is confined within its proper bounds, and to its proper objects, an interference can never happen. Being for two different purposes, as long as they are limited to the different objects, they can no more clash than two parallel lines can meet. * * *”}} {{smaller block|They were big ifs that Edmund Pendleton, a judicious man, here used as qualifications. If the State and Federal Governments were each confined within its proper bounds, be said, the clash could never come. But the Federal Government could not be kept confined, even as Henry feared, and the clash did come. It continues to this day. Mr. Pendleton’s geometry was fine, but his powers of prophecy (for be believed that each government could be kept in check) were sadly in error.}} {{smaller block|To understand how the parallel lines of State and Federal powers have turned awry, it is necessary to look back at the period before these lines were drawn. The acts of ratification by Virginia and her neighbors were acts of sovereign States. At stake was their consent to a written constitution. How, it may be inquired, did they come to be sovereign States? What is this concept of State sovereignty?}} {{smaller block|It would be possible, in any such review, to go back to the great roots of Runnymede, but it will suffice to begin much later, in the turbulent summer of 1776. The startling commitments of Lexington and Concord were behind us then; the bitter trials of White Plains, Vincennes, Camden, and Yorktown still lay ahead. March and April and May had passed—a time of bringing forth of newness, of fresh hope—and great human events had run their course. Now, in June, a resurgent people made the solemn decision to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another. Thus Jefferson’s draft began, thus the Continental Congress adopted it at Philadelphia; from this moment Americans unborn were to date the years of their independence.}} {{smaller block|The eloquent beginning of the Declaration—the assertion of truths self-evident and rights beyond alienation—is well known: It is a towering irony that Jefferson, whose convictions were cemented in the inequality of man, should have his precise phrase corrupted by the levelers of a bulldozer society. The Declaration’s beginning is too much recited and too little read.}} {{smaller block|What counts, for our present purpose, is not the first paragraph, but the last. Let us inquire, What, precisely, was it that we declared ourselves to be that Fourth of July? Hitherto there had been colonies subject to the King. That form of government would now be abolished. We would now solemnly publish and declare to a candid world—what? That the people of the colonies had formed a free and independent nation? By no means. Or that they were henceforth a free and independent people? Still no.}} {{smaller block|This was the declaration: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Not one State, or one Nation, but in the plural—States; and again, in the next breath, so this multiple birth could not be misunderstood, “that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.”}} {{smaller block|It had opened, this Declaration, as an enunciation of what often are termed the “human rights,” but it concluded, in the plainest terms, as a pronouncement of political powers—the political powers of newly created States. And these powers of war and peace, these powers of alliance and commerce, were published not as the powers of a national government, but as powers henceforth asserted by 13 free and independent states.}} {{smaller block|To be sure, the States were united. Their representatives styled themselves Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, but it was not the spokesmen of a nation who gathered in parliament. These were States in Congress. “One out of many,” it is said. In a sense, yes. But the many remained—separate States, individual entities, each possessed, from that moment, of sovereign rights and powers.}} {{smaller block|Certainly Jefferson so understood our creation. “The several States,” he was to write much later, “were, from their first establishment, separate and distinct societies, dependent on no other society of men whatever.”}} {{smaller block|So Mr. Justice Samuel Chase comprehended it: He considered the Declaration of Independence, “as a declaration, not that the United Colonies Jointly, in a collective capacity, were independent States, etc., but that each of them was a sovereign and independent State, that is, that each of them had a right to govern itself by its own authority, and its own laws without any control from any other power on earth.” From the Fourth of July, said Chase, “the American States were ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' in the possession and actual exercise of all the rights of independent governments. * * * I have ever considered it as the established doctrine of the United States, that their independence originated from, and commenced with, the declaration of Congress, on the Fourth of July 1776; and that no other period can be fixed on for its commencement; and that all laws made by the legislatures of the several States, after the Declaration of Independence, were the laws of sovereign and independent governments.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, the sage and cool-minded Mr. Justice Cushing: “The several States which composed this Union * * * became entitled, from the time when they declared themselves independent, to all the rights and powers of sovereign States.”}} {{smaller block|Even Marshall himself had no doubts: In the beginning, “we were divided into independent States, united for some purposes, but in most respects sovereign.” The lines which separate the States, he later remarked, were too clear ever to be misunderstood.}} {{smaller block|And for a contemporary authority, it is necessary only to turn to Mr. Justice Frankfurter, who some years ago fell to discussing the dual powers of taxation preserved under the Constitution: “The States,” he said, “after they formed the Union”—not the people, but the States, “continued to have the same range of taxing power which they had before, barring only duties affecting exports, imports, and on tonnage.” Regrettably, Mr. Justice Frankfurter appears in more recent times to have lost his concept of States forming a Union.}} {{smaller block|It is no matter. Evidence of the States’ individual sovereignty is abundantly available. Consider for example, the powers asserted on the part of each State in the Declaration “to levy War, conclude Peace, and contract Alliances.” Surely these are sovereign powers. The States exercised them, as States, in the Revolutionary War. But it is of value to note that New York also very nearly exercised her war powers to enter into formal hostilities with the State of Vermont. Tensions reached so grave a point that Massachusetts, in 1784, felt compelled to adopt a formal resolution of neutrality, enjoining her citizens to give “no aid or assistance to either party,” and to send “no provisions, arms, or ammunition or other necessities to a fortress or garrison” besieged by either belligerent. When New York adopted a resolution avowing her readiness to “ecur to force,”" Vermont’s Governor Chittenden (whose son was to be heard from 30 years later in another row) observed that Vermont “does not wish to enter into a war with the State of New York.” But should this unhappy contingency result, Vermont “expects that Congress and the 12 States will observe a strict neutrality, and let the contending States settle their own controversy.”}} {{smaller block|They did settle it, of course. New York and Vermont concluded a peace. The point is that no one saw anything especially remarkable in two separate sovereignties arraying themselves against each other. Vermont was then an individual political entity, as remote at law as any France or Italy. And New York, though a member of the Confederation, and hence technically required to obtain the consent of Congress before waging war, had every right to maintain a standing army for her own defense.}} {{smaller block|The status of the individual States as separate sovereign powers was recognized on higher authority than the proclamations of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is worth our while to keep in mind the first article of the treaty of September 3, 1783, by which the war of the Revolution came to an end:}} {{smaller block|“His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign, and independent States; that he treats with them as such.”}} {{smaller block|More than 5 years earlier, a treaty of amity and commerce with France had established the same sovereign status of the contracting parties. Louis XVI. treated with the 13 American States, but he recognized each of them as a separate power. And it is interesting to note that Virginia, feeling some action desirable to complete the treaty, prior to action by Congress, on June 4, 1779, undertook solemnly to ratify this treaty with France on her own. By appropriate resolution, transmitted by Governor Jefferson to the French minister at Philadelphia, the sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia declared herself individually bound by the French treaty. In terms of international law, Virginia was a nation; in terms of domestic law, she was a sovereign State.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|2. THE STATE}}}} {{smaller block|To review the process by which the colonies became States is not necessarily to answer the basic question, What is a State? It is a troublesome word. The standard definition is that a State is “a political body, or body politic; any body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one government, especially one that is not subject to external control.” Chief Justice Chase, in ''Texas'' v. ''White'', put it this way: “A State, in the ordinary sense of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed.” In the Cherokee case, John Marshall described a State as “a distinct political society, separated from others, capable of managing its own affairs and governing itself.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, variously, a State is defined as a body, a community, and a distinct society. Plainly, mere boundary lines are not enough; a tract of waste and uninhabited land cannot constitute a State. Nor are people, as such, sufficient to constitute a State. James Brown Scott once offered this clear and succinct definition:}} {{smaller block|“The State is an artificial person, representing and controlled by its members, but not synonymous or identical with them. Created for a political purpose, it is a body politic. It is a distinct body, an artificial person; it has a will distinct from its members, although its exercise is controlled by them; it has rights and duties distinct from its members, but subject to being changed by them; it may hold property distinct from its members, but in trust for them; it may act separately and distinctly from them and bind them by its acts, but only insofar as it is authorized by the law of its creation, and subject to being changed by the source of that power.”}} {{smaller block|Thus the State is seen as a continuing political being, controlled by its citizens and yet controlling them. The State can be bound in ways that its own people cannot be bound; it can exercise powers that no citizen or group of citizens may exercise for themselves. The State may buy, sell, hold, grant, convey; it may tax and spend; it may sue, and if it consent, be sued; it exists to create law and to execute law, to punish crime, administer justice, regulate commerce, enter into compacts with other States. Yet there is no State until a community of human beings create a State; and no State may exist without the will and the power of human beings to preserve it.}} {{smaller block|It is this combination of will and power which lies at the essence of the State in being. This is sovereignty. In the crisp phrase of John Taylor, of Caroline, sovereignty is “the will to enact, the power to execute.” Long books have been written on the nature of sovereignty, but they boil down to those necessities: The will to make, the power to unmake.}} {{smaller block|It was this power, this will, that the people as States claimed for themselves in 1776. Henceforth, they said, we are sovereign: The State government is not sovereign, nor is any citizen by himself sovereign. By the “sovereign State” we mean us citizens, the State; we collectively, within our established boundaries; this community of people; we alone who are possessed of the power to create or to abandon.}} {{smaller block|God knows it was a great, a priceless, power these people as Stat es claimed for themselves. True, not everyone saw it that way. Mr. Justice Story, for one, never grasped the concept of States. Nor did Jackson. Albert J. Beveridge, in his biography of Marshall, refers sneeringly to the States as “these pompous sovereignties,” but in a way, Beveridge’s is perhaps a high acknowledgment of the simple truth: These infant States were sovereignties, and the people within them were proudly jealous of the fact. They saw themselves, in Blackstone’s phrase, “a supreme, irresistible, absolute, uncontrolled authority.” This, among other things, was the aim they had fought for. It cannot be imagined that they ever would have relinquished this high power of sovereignty except in the most explicit terms.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|3. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION}}}} {{smaller block|In time, the Continental Congress gave way to the Articles of Confederation. The articles merit examination with the utmost care; they are too little studied, and there is much to be learned from them.}} {{smaller block|First proposed in 1778, the articles became binding upon all the States with Maryland’s ratification in 1781. Throughout this period, as the war ran on, each of the States was individually sovereign, each wholly autonomous. Mr. Justice Iredell was to observe, in 1795, that had the individual States decided not to unite together, each would have gone its own way, because each “possessed all the powers of sovereignty, internal and external * * * as completely as any of the ancient kingdoms or republics of the world which never yet had formed, or thought of forming, any sort of Federal union whatever.”}} {{smaller block|But they did form a Federal union—a “perpetual union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.” They styled themselves, “The United States of America,” and in the very second article of their compact, they put this down so no one might miss it:}} {{smaller block|“Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.”}} {{smaller block|The third article is almost equally brief, and may be quoted in less space than would be required to summarize it:}} {{smaller block|“The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.”}} {{smaller block|There will be seen, in these opening paragraphs, the genesis of constitutional provisions that were to follow in less than a decade. Here is the forerunner of the 10th amendment, with its reservation of undelegated powers to the State or to the people; here are the aims set forth of “common defense” and the “general welfare.”}} {{smaller block|The fourth article advanced other phrases that have come down to us: The free inhabitants of each State (“paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice excepted”) were to be entitled to “all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” Here, too, one finds the provision, later to be inserted substantially verbatim in article IV. of the Constitution of 1787, providing for the extradition of fugitives. Here the States mutually agreed that “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State.”}} {{smaller block|The fifth article provided for representation of the States in Congress. There were to be no less than 2, no more than 7 delegates from each State. They would assemble on the first Monday in November of every year. In this Congress, each State cast one vote; each State paid the salary and maintenance of its own delegates. These provisions, of course, were later abandoned; but we may note that the fifth article prohibited delegates to the Congress from “holding any office under the United States for which he or another for his benefit receives any salary, fees, or emolument of any kind,” and also provided that “freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress.” Both provisions were to turn up later in article I., section 6, of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The sixth and seventh articles dealt generally with limitations upon the States in terms of foreign affairs and the waging of war. Again, many a familiar phrase leaps from this much-maligned compact of Confederation. No State, nor the Congress, was to grant a title of nobility; no two or more States were to enter into any treaty, confederation, or alliance without the consent of the other States in Congress assembled; no State was to keep vessels of war in time of peace (“except such number as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled”), nor was any State to engaged in war without the consent of Congress “unless such State be actually invaded by enemies, or * * * the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay * * *.”}} {{smaller block|The eighth article provided for defraying the expenses of war among the State “in proportion to the value of all land within each State,” and the ninth article dealt with the powers of Congress. Once more, the origin of a dozen specific phrases in our present Constitution is evident. Congress was given the “sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war.” It was to enter into treaties and alliances, establish certain courts, fix standard weights and measures, and establish post offices. But the Congress alone could do almost none of these things—it could exercise no important power—without the consent of nine of the member States.}} {{smaller block|The remaining 4 articles are of less interest and concern, although it may be noted that in 3 places, the framers of the Articles of Confederation provided that their union was a permanent union. The articles were to be inviolably observed by the States the delegates respectively represented, “and the union shall be perpetual.”}} {{c|{{x-smaller|4. WE, THE PEOPLE}}}} {{smaller block|Of course, it wasn’t perpetual at all. Before 6 years had elapsed, the States came to recognize grave defects in the Articles of Confederation. And because they were sovereign States—because they had the will to enact and the power to execute, because they who had made could unmake—they set out to do the job again.}} {{smaller block|What they made, this time, was the Constitution of the United States. So much has been {{SIC|writen|written}} of the deliberations that summer of 1787 in Philadelphia—so many critics have examined every word of the great document which came forth—that probably no new light can be shed upon it here. Yet the constitutions of most States command their citizens to recur frequently to fundamental principles and the commandment is too valuable an admonition to be passed by. There is much of interest to be found if one examines the Constitution, the debates and the commentaries of the time, in terms of the relationship there established between the States and the new Federal Government they formed.}} {{smaller block|It may be inquired, was sovereignty here surrendered in whole or in part? What powers were delegated, what powers retained?}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I do not want the Senator to strain his voice, but I do have some responsibilities as minority leader. I do not think the Senator is making any motion, but I should at least like to know what is going on in the Senate Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield for a question if the Senator has a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. My question is, Would the Senator speak up? I do not want him to strain his voice, but I should like him to speak a little louder so I shall be sure no motions are being made or anything of that sort. I do have some responsibility here. Mr. THURMOND. I suggest that the Senator move closer to me. Mr. KNOWLAND. Under the rules of the Senate, which are now being strictly enforced, both Senators being in their respective seats, and this happening to be my seat as the minority leader, I urge my request of the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. We might get unanimous consent to allow the Senator to come closer to me if he wishes. I do not think my colleagues will raise any point. There is an excellent seat here, I may say to the Senator. Mr. KNOWLAND. I am very well satisfied with the seat to which I am assigned. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I continue to read: {{smaller block|What were the functions to be performed by the States in the future? Was it ever intended that the States should be reduced to the weakling role thrust upon them in our own time? We must inquire whether this proud possession of State sovereignty, so eloquently proclaimed in 1776, so resolutely affirmed in the articles of 1781, so clearly recognized in the events of the time, somehow vanished, died, turned to dust, totally ceased to exist in the period of the next 6 years.}} {{smaller block|Now, the argument here advanced is this—it is the argument of John Taylor of Caroline and John Randolph of Roanoke—that sovereignty, like chastity, cannot be surrendered in part. This was the argument also of Calhoun: “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” This was the position, too, of the bellicose George Troup of Georgia, of Alexander H. Stephens, of Jefferson Davis. It is the position of plain commonsense: Supreme and ultimate power must be precisely that. Finality knows no degrees. In law, as in mountain climbing, there comes a point at which the pinnacle is reached; nothing higher or greater remains. And so it is with the States of the American Union. In the last resort, it is their prerogative alone (not that of Congress, not that of the Supreme Court, not that of the whole people) to make or unmake our fundamental law. The argument here is that the States, in forming a new perpetual union to replace their old perpetual union, remained in essence what they had been before: Separate, free, and independent States. They surrendered nothing to the Federal Government they created. Some of their powers they delegated; all of their sovereignty they retained.}} {{smaller block|It is keenly important that this distinction be understood. There is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign power. The power to coin money, or to levy taxes, is a sovereign power, but it is not sovereignty. Powers can be delegated, limited, expanded, or withdrawn, but it is through the exercise of sovereignty that these changes take place. Sovereignty is the moving river, sovereign powers the stone at the mill. Only while the river flows can the inanimate stone revolve. To be sure, sovereignty can be lost—it can be lost by conquest, as in war; the extent or character of sovereignty can be changed, as in the acquisition or relinquishment of territory or the annexation of new peoples; sovereignty can be divided, when two States are created of one. But properly viewed, sovereignty is cause; sovereign powers, the effect: The wind that blows; the branches that move. Sovereignty is the essence, the life spirit, the soul: And in this Republic, sovereignty remains today where it was vested in 1776, in the people. But in the people as a whole? No. In the people as States.}} {{smaller block|The delusion that sovereignty is vested in the whole people of the United States is one of the strangest misconceptions of our public life. This hallucination has been encouraged, if not directly espoused, by such eminent figures as Marshall, Story, and Andrew Jackson. It is still embraced by excessively literal and unthinking fellows who read “we the people” in the preamble to the Constitution, and cry triumphantly, “that means everybody.” It does not; it never did.}} {{smaller block|The preamble to the abandoned Articles of Confederation, it was noted, declared the articles “binding between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York,” and so forth. The preamble offered by the Convention of 1787, reads:}} {{smaller block|“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”}} {{smaller block|The opening few words were questioned repeatedly by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention of 1788. He kept asking querulously, what was meant by “we the people,” but he got no very satisfactory answer for his pains. Governor Randolph ducked the question, and Pendleton missed the point. Pendleton asked, rhetorically, “who but the people have a right to form government?” and the answer, obviously, in America, is “no one.” Then Pendleton said this:}} {{smaller block|“If the objection be, that the Union ought to be not of the people, but of the State governments, then I think the choice of the former very happy and proper. What have the State governments to do with it?”}} {{smaller block|Again, the obvious answer is, “The State governments have nothing to do with it,” but that was not the question Henry asked. There is a plain distinction between “we the States” and “we the State governments,” for States endure while governments fall. It was Madison who came closest to answering the insistent Henry. Who are the parties to the Constitution? The people, said Madison, to be sure, are the parties to it, but “not the people as composing one great body.” Rather, it is “the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” And he added:}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina when he was a judge in South Carolina? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair cannot hear. Will the Senator speak a little louder? Mr. THURMOND. From 1938 to 1946, 8 years. Mr. LANGER. The Senator was a circuit judge, was he not? Mr. THURMOND. Yes; in the highest trial court in the State. About half that time I was in the Army, overseas. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Continuing to quote from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|“Were it * * * a consolidated government, the assent of a majority of the people would be sufficient for its establishment; and, as a majority have adopted it already, we remaining States would be bound by the act of the majority, even if they unanimously reprobated it * * * But, sir, no State is bound by it, as it is, without its own consent.”}} {{smaller block|Col. Henry Lee took the same point of view in responding to Patrick Henry. Lighthorse Harry spoke as other proponents of the Constitution did, in irritation and perplexity. He could not comprehend why Henry’s question should even be asked. Obviously, the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble—the “we the people” there and then engaged in ratifying the Constitution—were we “the people of Virginia.” If the people of Virginia “do not adopt it, it will always be null and void as to us.”}} {{smaller block|Here Lee touched and tossed aside what doubtless was so clear to others that they could not understand what Henry was quibbling about. Of course, “we the people” meant what Madison and Lee found so obvious: It meant “we the people of the States.” Why argue the point? “I take this,” said Randolph testily, “to be one of the least and most trivial objections that will be made to the Constitution.”}} {{smaller block|The self-evident fact, as plain as the buttons on their coats, was that the whole people, the mass of people from Georgia to New Hampshire, obviously had nothing to do with the ratification of the Constitution. The basic charter of our Union never was submitted to popular referendum, taken simultaneously among the 3 million inhabitants of the country on some Tuesday in 1788. Ratification was achieved by the people of the States, acting in their sovereign capacity not as “Americans,” for there is no “State of America,” but in their sovereign capacity as citizens of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Georgia.}} {{smaller block|This was the sovereign power that sired the new Union, breathed upon it, gave it life—the power of the people of the States, acting as States, binding themselves as States, seeking to form a more perfect union not of people, but of States. And if it be inquired, as a matter of drafting, why the preamble of the Articles of Confederation spelled out 13 States and the preamble of the Constitution referred only to “we the people,” a simple, uncomplicated explanation may be advanced: The framers of the Constitution, in the summer of 1787, had no way of knowing how many States would assent to the compact.}} {{smaller block|Suppose they .had begun the preamble, as they thought of doing, “We the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island,” etc., and the State of Rhode Island had refused to ratify? It very nearly did. It was not until May 29, 1790, by a vote of 34 to 32, that Rhode Island agreed to join a union that actually had been created with New Hampshire’s ratification nearly 2 full years before. Given a switch of two votes, Rhode Island might have remained, to this day, as foreign to the United States (in terms of international law) as any Luxembourg or Switzerland.}} {{smaller block|Some of these forebodings clearly passed through the minds of the delegates at Philadelphia. When the preamble first appears in the notes, on August 6, it reads: “We the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,” etc., “do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution.” In that form it was tentatively approved on August 7. But the preamble, in that form, never is mentioned again. When the document came back from the Committee on Style in early September, the preamble had been amended to eliminate the spelled-out names of States, and to make it read simply that “we the people” ordain and establish. The change was not haggled over. No significance was attached to it. Why arouse antagonism in New York or North Carolina (where there was opposition enough already) by presuming to speak, in the preamble, as if it were unnecessary for New York or North Carolina even to debate the matter? The tactful and prudent thing was to name no States. Only the people as States could create the Union; only the people in ratifying States would be bound, as States, by its provisions.}} {{c|{{x-smaller|5. THE STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, that was the way the compact read. It bound States—“The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between”—between whom?—“between the States so ratifying the same.” Not among people; it was “between States.” And this proposal was put forward “by the unanimous consent,” not of delegates assembled or of people gathered, but by “the unanimous consent of the States present the 17th day of September in the year of our Lord 1787 * * *.”}} {{smaller block|On the plain evidence of the instrument itself, it is therefore clear: States consented to the drafting of the Constitution; States undertook to bind themselves by its provisions. If 9 States ratified, the Constitution would bind those 9; if 10, those 10. Rhode Island had not even attended the convention; “poor, despised Rhode Island,” as Patrick Henry later was to describe her, could stay aloof if she chose. There was no thought here of people in the mass. There was thought only of people as States, and while the new Constitution would of course act directly upon people—that was to be its revolutionary change—it would reach those people only because they first were people of States.}} {{smaller block|The one essential prerequisite was for the State, as a State, to ratify; then the people of the State would become themselves subject to the Constitution. No individual human being, in his own capacity, possibly could assent to the new compact or bind himself to its provisions. Only as a citizen of Virginia or Georgia or Massachusetts could he become a citizen also of the United States.}} {{smaller block|Madison recognized this. He acknowledged in his famed Federalist 39 that ratification of the Constitution must come from the people “not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.” “Each State,” he said, in ratifying the Constitution, “is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” This fact lay at the essence of the Federal Union being formed. The States, and within them their local governments, were to be “no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The jurisdiction of the Federal Government was to extend “to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.” Even the most casual reading of the Constitution, it may be submitted, abundantly supports Madison’s comment here.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield to the able Senator from North Dakota for a question. Mr. LANGER. I should like to ask whether at any time in the history of South Carolina the courts permitted a defendant to be tried without a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In South Carolina anyone who wishes a jury may have one. There are a few instances where both sides agree to be tried without a jury, by the court. But a defendant is entitled to a jury trial in my State, as is the case in other States which follow the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. In what year was South Carolina admitted to the Union? It was one of the original colonies, was it not? Mr. THURMOND. In 1789. It was the eighth State admitted to the Union. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further for a question? Mr: THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Even at that time in South Carolina a defendant had the right to a jury trial, did he not? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. That has been the law continuously up to the present time? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. A defendant in South Carolina is always entitled to a jury trial when charged with a crime. Mr. LANGER. Is that also true in North Carolina? Mr. THURMOND. I would not attempt to speak for North Carolina, but I feel quite certain that that is a fact. I believe nine States ratified the Constitution before North Carolina did. So North Carolina came in after the Union was formed. So did Rhode Island. Rhode Island was the only State that did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The reason for that was that Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals at that time and it did not send any deputies. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it true that in every State in the United States under our Constitution a defendant has the right to a trial by jury in a criminal case? Mr. THURMOND. In every State of the United States a defendant charged with a crime has the right of trial by jury. Some persons confuse magistrate courts or minor courts; but even there, although we may not see it, there is a jury box. Most persons, unless they are lawyers, do not know that defendants are entitled to a jury trial in those courts. There is a jury box hidden somewhere. Nine out of ten do not ask for a jury trial; that is, in cases where the punishment is a fine of $100 or 30 days. But even there if a man says “Wait a minute, Mr. Recorder; I want a trial before a jury,” it must be given to him. Mr. LANGER. That is true, for example, if a man is arrested and charged with spitting on the sidewalk or with stealing one cent? Mr. THURMOND. Any crime. Mr. LANGER. In other words, trial by jury is fundamental? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct; and rightly so, because that was one of the grievances pointed out a little earlier today that our forefathers listed in the Declaration of Independence. That was one grievance charged against the King, that in many cases persons had been denied trial by jury. That is written definitely into the Constitution. The right of trial by jury was included in several places in the Bill of Rights. The sixth amendment provides that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That was because our forefathers were taking no chances on not having a jury trial assured to them under the Constitution. In the seventh amendment it is provided, also, and there is another provision, I believe, in the fifth amendment, that a man must be indicted by a grand jury before he is tried. Under the bill that came from the House a grand jury will not pass on the question at all. Under this so-called compromise, a man is taken before a judge and is tried. He is not even asked if he wants a trial by a jury. But in the usual procedure, when the Constitution is followed, a man has to be indicted by a grand jury. In my State 18 grand jurors have to agree to a true bill before a man can be brought up for trial. He has a trial before a petit jury. In Federal courts a man can be indicted by a grand jury or on information, but in State courts a man is indicted by a grand jury. But in all the history of judicial administration in this country it has been clear that the American people have been entitled to a jury trial, and it goes back even further than the Declaration of Independence. It goes back to the Magna Carta, when the citizens of England wrung from King John in the year 1215, at Runnymede, certain rights for the people. I presume you and I, Mr. President, would call them civil rights, more or less, or corresponding to our Bill of Rights. But the people wrung from King John certain rights, and one of those rights was that a man charged with a crime would be entitled to a jury trial. So, going back to the year 1215, on down to this time, our people have had a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a further question. Mr. LANGER. Is it the opinion of the Senator from South Carolina that of all the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights the very heart and very core of the 10 amendments is the right of the defendant to be tried by a jury? Mr. THURMOND. All the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights are important, but I think the trial-by-jury provision as generally spoken of is the heart of the Bill of Rights. That is the importance attached to it. It is generally spoken of as the heart of the Bill of Rights. In other words, if there should be cut out of the Bill of Rights the right of a trial by jury you have cut the heart of the Bill of Rights out; it would be excised. What is it to have freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of the press or right to petition the Government or the right to assemble, all of which are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, or to keep troops from being quartered in our homes, or all the other things guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if some tyrant, whether a Federal district judge, or any other kind of tyrant, can take a man and himself try him without a jury and put him in prison; and, of course, if a man is in prison he cannot enjoy his civil rights? Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator. We have gotten down to the very core of this entire proposal. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate his deep interest in this matter. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota has manifested an unusual interest in the right of trial by jury. He has the vision to see the importance of trial by jury and to see how this proposed bill the House has passed is attempting to bypass the Constitution and in doing so, of course, is violating the Constitution and therefore is a bill the Congress ought to kill. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. For 4 years I was attorney general of my State. Mr. THURMOND. I understand the Senator made a very distinguished record as attorney general of the State of North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. During that time, of course, I had a great deal to do with juries. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure the Senator did. Mr. LANGER. And in every single case I submitted to a court a jury trial had been waived. Mr. THURMOND. Every case the Senator tried I imagine was before a jury. Mr. LANGER. That is correct. I should like to ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina whether in his experience in South Carolina it is true that the average defendant can get better justice from a jury than he can from a judge, no matter how honest and fair the judge may be? Mr. THURMOND. Regardless of how fair and impartial the judge is or wants to be, it is my judgment from my experience on the bench for 8 years—and as I said, for about half of that time I was in the Army during World War II.—and from my practice of law before then, since 1930 when I was admitted to the bar—and after I left the Governor’s office in January 1951, I practiced until I came to the Senate—I consider that juries give fair verdicts, and I think it would be destroying the administration of justice if we should take any step to hamper or injure or impair in any way the jury system of the United States. Mr. LANGER. Again I want to thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I read further: {{smaller block|But the Constitution ought not to be read casually. Viewed from the standpoint of State and Federal relations, what does the Constitution say and do? The rubrics do not demand, before an ordinary mortal may explore the question, that he be ordained a constitutional lawyer or put on the chasuble of the bench. Our Constitution is not the property of a juridical clergy only. The laity may read it too, and with equal acuity and understanding. The terms are not ambiguous.}} {{smaller block|The first thing to note, perhaps, is that the words “State” or “States” appear no fewer than 94 times, either as proper nouns or pronominals, in the brief 6,000 words of the original 7 articles. The one theme that runs steadily through the whole of the instrument is the knitting together of States: It is a union that is being formed, and while the people are concerned for themselves and their posterity, the Constitution is to be established binding States.}} {{smaller block|Legislative powers, to begin at the beginning, are vested not in one national parliament of the people, but in a Congress of the United States. The word “Congress” was chosen with precision; it repeated and confirmed the political relationship of the preceding 11 years, when there had been first a Continental Congress and then a Congress under the Articles of Confederation.}} {{smaller block|This Congress is to consist of two Houses. The first is the House of Representatives, whose Members are to be chosen “by the people of the several States.” And here, in the very second paragraph, the framers encountered and opportunity to choose between a “national” and a “federal” characteristic: They might have established uniform national qualifications for the franchise, but they did not. Electors qualified to vote for candidates for the House of Representatives are to have “the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned—how? “Among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers.” How is this enumeration to be determined? The provision should be noted with care, for it is the first of four clauses that speaks eloquently of the plural nature of our Union: “The actual enumeration shall be made within 3 years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.” Now, the antecedent of they is not “Congress,” but “United States.” Nowhere in the whole of the Constitution or in any of the subsequent amendments is the United States an “it.” The singular never appears.}} {{smaller block|What else sheds light in the second section of article I.? We find that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” whereupon follows a rollcall of the States themselves: “Until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse 3, Massachusetts 8,” and so forth. And when vacancies happen “in the representation from any State,” the Governor thereof is to issue a writ of election.}} {{smaller block|The dignity and sovereignty of States are made still more evident in the composition of the Senate. It is to be composed “of two Senators from each State,” and whereas Representatives are required to be inhabitants of the States “in which” they shall be chosen, Senators must be inhabitants of the States “for which” they shall be chosen.}} {{smaller block|It is in section 4 that the first grant of authority to the Federal Government appears: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but”—and here the qualified concession—“the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chusing Senators.”}} {{smaller block|The delegations of power to a federal government appear most fully, of course, in section 8, but it is worth noting that not all the powers delegated to Congress are exclusive and unqualified powers. Thus, the Congress may raise and support armies, “but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.” Thus, the Congress may provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of the militia as may be employed in the service of the United States, but there is reserved “to the States respectively” the appointment of officers and the authority to train their militia according to regulation established by Congress. Thus, too, Congress may exercise Federal authority over federally owned property within the States, but how is such property to be acquired? The authority of the Congress extends only to those places “purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be,” and this applies not only to military and naval installations but also to “other needful buildings.”}} {{smaller block|Several provisions in section 9 merit attention. As a concession to the slave trade—one of the essential compromises without which the Constitution never would have come into being at all—it was provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” shall not be prohibited prior to 1808. Then follow seven paragraphs of specific restrictions upon the powers of Congress. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended; no bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed; no direct tax shall be levied except according to the census of the people as a whole; no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported “from any State;” and—again emphasizing the separateness of the member States forming the Union—“no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue of the ports of one State over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.”}} {{smaller block|In section 10, the States undertook to restrict themselves. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; no State shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver legal tender; no State shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Yet even here, the prohibitions are not without qualification. Thus, the States reserved to themselves the right to levy tariffs on imports or exports sufficient to execute their inspection laws; and though the fact is often forgotten, the States even reserved to themselves the solemn power they had claimed under the Articles of Confederation, to “engage in war,” as States, if “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Ellender}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am very curious. I ask the Senator from South Carolina whether he knows how the House of Representatives arrived at the decision to provide for a maximum of 45 days and $300 in this instance. Why did not the House of Representatives decide to make the maximum number of days 50, and why did it not choose, as the maximum amount of fine, $250 or $500? Mr. THURMOND. I should like to answer the question the distinguished Senator asked, but I cannot do so. I was not consulted about this compromise. All I know about it is that I heard the majority leader made an announcement, following the taking of action in the House of Representatives. And then I read about it in the newspaper. But I had understood—and the distinguished Senator from California [Mr. {{sc|Knowland}}] can correct me about this if I am mistaken—that there was an effort on the part of the Republicans to provide for 60 days. But, since the Senate had not voted for any provision of this sort, but had voted only for a straight jury-trial provision, 45 days was selected as a compromise. That is my understanding of the matter. I pass on to the Senator from North Dakota only what I heard. But perhaps the Senator from California can answer the question. At any rate, even if 60 days had been originally proposed, and finally 45 days was decided on, the Senate got the worst end of the bargain. However, even if the provision had been for only 1 day, in my opinion the principle would be the same, because under the Constitution a citizen is entitled to a jury trial; and the Congress has no power to pass a law providing that a Federal judge or any other judge can deprive a citizen of a jury trial. However, under this proposal, a judge would be able, in two ways, to deprive a citizen of a jury trial. In the first place, the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to allow the person to have a jury trial in the first instance. If the judge decided that there could be a jury trial, the citizen would have a jury trial. If the judge decided that there would not be a jury trial, the judge himself would try the case. Next, if the judge decided to try the case himself, without a jury, the judge would proceed to try it. If, at the conclusion of the case, the judge were to determine that the punishment he would mete would be more than 45 days imprisonment or a fine of more than $300, the judge would then give the citizen another trial. In other words, this provision of the compromise would give the judge the option of trying the citizen in the first place, and it would give the judge the option of deciding how much punishment he would mete, and then the amount of punishment imposed would determine whether the citizen would receive still another trial. All those exceptions are entirely foreign to the Constitution. The Constitution provides that a man charged with the commission of a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That provision is as plain as can be. Any child in the fifth grade in school can read it and understand it; and there should not be any difficulty in understanding it. However, as I have understood in arriving at the compromise an attempt was made to get together on some provision; and the result was a monstrosity. It turned out to be an unconstitutional provision, in my opinion. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield again? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. What I should like to know is this: Is there any precedent, anywhere in the entire United States, for a measure such as this, by means of which a defendant could be tried by a judge, if the sentence imposed were imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or any other number of days, or the imposition of a fine of any size; but that if the term of imprisonment were longer or the amount of the fine were greater, there must be a jury trial? Can the Senator from South Carolina name any precedent at all for such a provision? Mr. THURMOND. I know of no place in the United States where a person charged with a crime does not have a jury trial. Even under the present criminal-contempt procedure, under existing law, if one is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no instance in any part of the United States, from Maine or the State of Washington on the north, to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or any of the other States in the southern part of the Nation, in which one who is charged with the commission of a crime does not have a trial by jury. It seems to me that in the conference, some one or more of the conferees should have raised the point, “This provision would be contrary to the Constitution, and we cannot include such a provision.” It seems to me some of the conferees would have suggested that the Constitution provides to the contrary. There is a decision which can be cited on that point; I think I have called it to the attention of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. The decision in that case holds that criminal contempt is a crime; and, since it is a crime, one charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. If there is to be passed a bill providing punishment for criminal contempt, it should provide for a jury trial. I know of no way to get around a jury trial in this matter because the Constitution has laid down the law. That is basic law. The Constitution can be amended. Congress can submit an amendment to it. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, and it can be amended so as to provide that a Federal judge in his discretion can give a man a jury trial. Then the compromise would be legal, and what it proposes would be effective. It would be. valid. As the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] said today, confirming my judgment, as it stands now it is not valid. I think it is unconstitutional. The Senator from Wyoming expressed his opinion likewise. We could amend the Constitution to provide for it. Congress could pass a law to provide that a Federal judge could punish a man for contempt, by so many days’ imprisonment, or by a fine of so many dollars. We could do that, but it has not been done. Until the Constitution is amended in the manner provided in the Constitution itself, we must abide by it. I know that many people in this country would like to get around the Constitution, and it looks as if they have been doing so. The Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution in some cases, and other branches of the Government at times have encroached upon the Constitution because there is divisional power between the Federal Government and the State governments. When we cross the line of the State government, as here, without constitutional authority, we violate the Constitution. The States entered into this pact, the Constitution, about which we are talking so much, and in this pact they delegated to the Union only certain things, and they are just as plain as they can be. They are listed in the Constitution. I should like to read to the distinguished Senator what the Constitution says on that point. Article I., section 1, provides: {{smaller block|All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.}} I will not take the time to go through all that. I will skip to the pertinent portions. Section 7 of article I. provides: {{smaller block|All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills.}} {{smaller block|Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds—}} I will skip to section 8. That is more pertinent. This is what the Congress has power to do. The powers are listed. {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.}} {{smaller block|To borrow money on credit of the United States;}} {{smaller block|To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes.}} The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator suspend to receive a message from the President of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. Certainly. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Presiding Officer, the “Message from the President,” is dealt with, as is the “Executive Message Referred” and a “Message from the House.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to Senate amendments Nos. 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. I continue to read from article I., section 2: {{smaller block|To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.}} Congress would not have the power to pass bankruptcy laws, indeed Congress could not pass a law on any subject except for the power given to it by the Constitution. This provision I have read is the basis for our bankruptcy law. {{smaller block|To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures.}} {{smaller block|To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States.}} {{smaller block|To establish post offices and post roads.}} That is your authority for the Federal Government to act in that field. {{smaller block|To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.}} {{smaller block|To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.}} That gives authority to Congress to establish certain courts of appeals and district courts. They are inferior tribunals, that is, inferior to the United States Supreme Court. {{smaller block|To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.}} {{smaller block|To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.}} {{smaller block|To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.}} But no appropriation of money for that purpose shall be for a longer term than 2 years. We cannot appropriate money for the Defense Establishment for more than 2 years because the Constitution limits it. If we should attempt to do that, we would go beyond the Constitution. I think that is a suggestion which may apply to foreign aid. If we should commit ourselves for 5 years or 10 years, I think that would be unconstitutional. But some of the defense items are classified under the term “foreign aid.” {{smaller block|To provide and maintain a Navy;}} {{smaller block|To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;}} {{smaller block|To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.}} {{smaller block|To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} I want to read that last part again. I wish to call attention to a point: {{smaller block|Reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} Do you not know, Mr. President, that if that section was not in the Constitution the Federal Government would be appointing the officers of the National Guard? That is the reason the Government cannot do it: the Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding 10 miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;}} For that reason the Federal Government cannot go to Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, or New Hampshire and buy a piece of land until the legislature passes an act approving such purchase. Under the provision the State must approve the transaction with respect to property within its borders, whether it owns the property or not, before the Federal Government can get it. Of course, the Government could condemn it; but if it followed the Constitution it would not be able to take it. The Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.}} {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to year 1808, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding $10 for each person.}} {{smaller block|The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.}} Regardless of what a State wishes to do, the United States Constitution provides that a writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended unless—note the exception—“unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” {{smaller block|No bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed.}} {{smaller block|No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.}} We have the income-tax amendment to the Constitution. The 16th amendment to the Constitution provides that Congress can levy an income tax. That is the only authority in the Federal Government to levy an income tax. It does not inherently have that authority. The Federal Government can do only what the States gave it the authority to do when they entered into the compact in Philadelphia in 1787, and the amendments which have been adopted since then. Two years later, in 1789, the States adopted the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, for which there was so much sentiment. I do not believe the Constitution would have been ratified if the delegates to the convention had not promised the Bill of Rights would be submitted, and it was submitted and adopted 2 years after the convention, in 1789. {{smaller block|No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State.}} {{smaller block|No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.}} {{smaller block|No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.}} That is the only reason the States do not impose duties on some articles; otherwise they would probably do it, but under the Constitution they cannot do it. {{smaller block|No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.}} In other words, if I were an ambassador in London and the Queen of England wished to confer on me a title or wished to give me extra compensation for some reason I could not take the title or compensation unless Congress permitted it. Congress would have to pass an act to permit it. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 10. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ''ex post facto'' law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.}} In other words, that goes right down the line to support the point I make. So the Constitution provides exactly what the Federal Government can do. What hurts me is to see some distinguished Members of Congress, able men who believe in the division of powers between the Federal and State Governments—or I always thought they did—going along with the bill, because this is a bill that takes power away from the States and gives it to the Federal Government. The matter of elections is left up to each State. That power was not delegated. The qualifications for electors, the holding of elections, and all relevant matters were reserved to the States. There has been a movement, I understand to get the Congress to pass a bill eliminating the poll tax. I believe I told the Senate this morning, or this afternoon, that when I was Governor, I recommended that the poll tax be removed in my State and it was removed. But Congress may not pass a law to do it. It could do it, but it would be unconstitutional for the reason that there is a provision of the Constitution which states that the qualifications of electors shall be left to each State. Therefore, New Hampshire has qualifications and if the people of that State wish to make as a qualification for voting in that State the payment of a poll tax, they have a right to do so. The only way such a measure could be enacted legally, if it were going to be the law nationwide, would be for Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the poll tax. The Senator from Florida [Mr. {{sc|Holland}}] has now pending a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate the poll tax, amending the Constitution. To do that would be legal; it would be constitutional, and it would be proper. Personally I think it is better to leave to each State the power to fix the qualifications for voting of its citizens. In my State, as I have said, we have very low qualifications. We have heard much about people in my State not voting. I believe more people vote in my State than vote in New York, because New York has a much higher standard for voting. That State requires, I believe someone said, a high-school education. Someone else said it requires a grade-school education. It is certainly one of the two. In my State we require only that a man be able to read and write the Constitution, or that he own $300 worth of assessed property. So our requirements for voting are not stringent. They are not nearly as strict as they are in New York. I do not know about the requirements in the State of the Senator from North Dakota. A few years ago I was Governor of South Carolina. At that time a bill was pending in Congress to remove the poll tax on a nationwide basis. Congress was to do it. It would have been just as unconstitutional as this so-called compromise, whose proponents are trying to get it through the Congress, to deprive the people of a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. I thank my distinguished friend. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, I do not believe that American history is taught sufficiently in our high schools and colleges. I do not believe that a course in government is taught in our high schools and colleges. I come in contact with a great many intelligent people, people who have been educated, big financiers who have made a great deal of money, and many others; yet they do not know the fundamentals of the Constitution. It is because they have not studied it. I think the people of the country would be wise to study the Constitution. I think it is more important today than ever before for the people to study it and be able to delineate the powers of the Federal Government, and learn what the Federal Government has not the power to do. For example, the Congress has no power to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, because the qualifications of voters are left to each State. There are a great many things which Congress cannot do. Yet pressure is brought on Members of Congress, and they vote for certain measures anyway, because of the pressure. Why do Senators think this so-called compromise on the civil rights bill is being pressed? Why is there any civil rights bill before us? Why call this measure a right-to-vote bill? It is a perfect farce. It is not a right-to-vote bill. As I have stated, every State in the Union has statutes providing for the right to vote. The Federal Government has statutes providing for the right to vote. Why is such a bill as this being considered at this time? Because there are pressures on Members of Congress to do so. Some Members of Congress attempted to do so, even though they were doubtful of the constitutionality of the measure. The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] stated earlier in the day that he did not think the jury trial amendment which was put in the compromise bill in the House was constitutional. He said he would offer an amendment in January to correct it. I would rather see him vote against it now. If the bill should pass anyway, he could later offer his amendment. But if a bill is unconstitutional, I think it is better for us not to vote for it. I think Members of Congress must develop stamina, fortitude, and courage to resist pressures, and to stand by the Constitution. If we do not do so, as I stated earlier in the day, we shall keep whittling away the rights of the States until, after a while, the States will not have any rights. There will be a powerful Central Government—and it will be a powerful monster, too. Everything will radiate from Washington. I understand there is a movement on foot to establish a national police system. It is desired to convert the FBI, which is purely an investigative agency, into a law-enforcement agency. It is not a law-enforcement agency. Congress would not have the right to establish a national police agency, because under the Constitution the police power is reserved to the States. However, this investigative agency, the FBI, is in a different situation. It does not do police work. It apprehends criminals and works with the States, and cooperates in the execution of Federal laws, apprehending violators and bringing them to trial. But it is not a police agency. I am glad that Mr. J. Edgar Hoover said that he was opposed to a national police system. I am sorry to see that the President has been recommending a bill to provide Federal aid to education by way of construction of school buildings. I have been amazed at the fact that so many people are not acquainted with the fact that in the entire Federal Constitution there is not a sentence which contains the word “education.” The word “education” is not to be found in the United States Constitution. Therefore, since the States did not delegate the field of education to the Federal Government, the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in that field, unless we amend the Constitution and give the Federal Government jurisdiction in the field of education. We can amend the Constitution. We can follow one of the four methods of amending the Constitution, and give the Federal Government authority in that field, if that is the wise thing to do, which I do not think it is. However, that is the way it must be done. We have no authority to appropriate money for Federal aid to education. I know that the President’s intentions are good. However, at Columbia University several years ago he was against Federal aid to education. At any rate, it would be a great mistake for the Federal Government to enter the field of education. After we begin giving money for Federal aid to education by way of construction, the next demand from the powerful National Education Association, which I understand is building a tremendous office building in Washington, will be for a supplement to the salaries of teachers. The National Education Association will bring pressure on Members of Congress, as do other pressure organizations, and will say, “We need supplements to teachers’ salaries.” When we enact legislation for Federal aid to construct the buildings, and to provide supplements to teachers’ salaries, the Federal Government will be asked to pay a larger share of such salaries, and there will be more and more control to go with it. Before we know it, there will be Federal control of education, and the parents of the Nation will find their children studying books selected in Washington, instead of by the people in Delaware, North Dakota, and South Carolina. It is a great mistake for us not to follow the Constitution. If the Constitution needs amending, we can amend it. There is a provision for amending it, and it should be amended from time to time. There have been 22 amendments since it was adopted. In 1789 the first 10 amendments were adopted. Since then, 12 other amendments have been adopted. There are now 22 amendments to the Constitution. We were talking about the 16th amendment awhile ago, the income-tax amendment. I think most people feel that it is necessary, although the income tax appears high. Therefore there had to be a way to bring it about. Congress could not pass an income-tax law. It had no authority to do so until the Constitution had been amended to give Congress the power to do it. I think it is important to understand what we mean by the division of powers between the Federal Government and the State governments. We have a compound Republic. It is a compound Republic because there are Federal powers and State powers. There are three branches in the Federal Government, each of which checks on the others, with the exception of the Supreme Court. It has practically no check on it, and it has gone wild. There are three branches in the State governments. Each is supposed to be a check on the others. There are two checks on the Supreme Court. In the first place, we can impeach Supreme Court justices. However, the House must do the impeaching, and the Senate sits as a jury to hear the case. So, there is not much the Senate can do from that standpoint. The other one is that, under the Constitution, the appellate power of the Supreme Court can be controlled by the Congress, so that if Congress saw fit to pass a bill to limit the {{SIC|appelate|appellate}} power of the Supreme Court, Congress would have that right. The Constitution gives it the power to do that. Many persons think we have to amend the Constitution before we can do that. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Would the Senator say that would be a form of cruel and inhuman punishment to impose upon his colleagues? Mr. THURMOND. I would say it is cruel and inhuman punishment to impose on the citizens of America if we pass a bill without providing for a jury trial. (Manifestations of applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The galleries will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. I have received letters from a number of States, and I have been in California. I spent a week there in the fall of 1953. Starting at Long Beach and ending up at San Francisco, I made addresses all the way up the coast. I even went to Bakersfield and saw an old friend of the Senator from California there. I talked with many persons there. Unless they have had a change in sentiment, they think, just as the people of South Carolina do, that there should be jury trials. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does not the distinguished Senator also think that the people of California are interested in the 15th amendment to the Constitution, assuring all American citizens the right to vote? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the people of California are, and I am sure the people of South Carolina are. The people of South Carolina have done something about it, just as have the people of California. Last night, when the distinguished Senator from California was resting comfortably, I was speaking here and trying to rouse the people of America concerning the dangers of taking away their right of trial by jury. I placed in the {{sc|Record}} the statutes of California on that subject, and here is what they provide: {{smaller block|“California: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Elections Code Annotated—West’s—1955:}} {{smaller block|“Hindering public meeting: Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence, willfully hinders of prevents electors from assembling in public meetings for consideration of public questions (sec. 5004).}} {{smaller block|“Intimidating voter: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor, who, directly or indirectly, uses, or threatens to use, force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts, or threatens to inflict, any injury, damage, harm, or loss, or other forms of intimidation, to compel a person to vote, or refrain from voting, at any election (sec 1158).}} {{smaller block|“Interference with free exercise of elective franchise: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent means, impedes or prevents the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or who compels or induces a voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person (sec. 11582).}} {{smaller block|“Election officers: Any election officer who induces, or attempts to induce, any voter, either by menace or reward, to vote differently from the way he intended to vote, is guilty of a felony. (sec. 11583).}} {{smaller block|“Threat by employer: Any employer, whether a corporation or natural person, is guilty of a misdemeanor, if he encloses material in the pay envelopes containing threats, express or implied, intended to influence political opinions or action of employees, or who, within 90 days before an election, exhibits any placard, etc., in the place of employment, containing such threats (secs. 11584, 11585).}} {{smaller block|“Penalty: Any corporation guilty of intimidating a voter shall forfeit its charter (sec. 11586).}} {{smaller block|“Misdemeanor: Unless a different penalty is prescribed, a misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by fine of not over $500, or by both (Penal Code, sec. 19).}} {{smaller block|“Scope of penalty provisions: All penalty provisions listed above apply to both final elections and primary elections (sec. 11500).”}} Those are statutes of the State of California, and they are good statutes. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does the Senator not recognize the fact that under the voting rights bill which the Senate is attempting to pass but which the Senator from South Carolina has, for the moment, successfully prevented the Senate from passing, there is not a single individual who can be cited for either civil or criminal contempt if another American citizen is deprived of his right to vote under the Constitution? So, if the Senator is correct in his statement that no person is deprived of his right to vote in his State—and I feel certain that no American citizen is denied the right to vote in my State—neither California nor South Carolina would cite any public official or other person criminally unless they were depriving people of their right to vote under the laws of the State. Mr. THURMOND. I think some part of the Union could nullify the Constitution, just as I think some juries turn loose some defendants who are guilty. Some judges will make mistakes, too. But why do we not let the States alone and let them handle their own problems? I know the southern people and I know they are doing all they can for the Negro. I see my friend the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting next to the Senator from California. He feels that his State is doing all it can. I know the State of Mississippi, from which come my good friends, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} and Senator {{sc|Stennis}}, is doing all it can. We cannot change customs overnight. We have to let the local people work these things out. But Congress did not care to let the local people work these things out. All that is necessary is to have enforcement of the Federal statute. There is a Federal statute, to which I called attention today. For the benefit of Senators who were not here at the time, I may say that this statute provides that whoever intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, is guilty of a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment of 1 year. Mr. COOPER. Will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator know that there has never been any question, since the War Between the States, about the Negro population in Kentucky having the right to vote, and exercising that right? Mr. THURMOND. I have never heard any question about it. I simply say that in my State the Negroes are voting in large numbers. They claimed the credit for carrying the election for Stevenson in 1952, and at that time there was a very close election. They claimed they cast more than 80,000 votes, which was about 25 percent of the total. Their own newspaper contained that information. I have a clipping from that newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer. So they are certainly voting in my State, and I am sure they are voting in the Senator’s State. Is it not better to let the local people work out these problems, rather than to rush things on them, and try to change their customs overnight? As a matter of fact, if you gentlemen want to take any action, however, if the proponents of this bill are not satisfied—I do not think the distinguished Senator is dissatisfied—with the enforcement by the governors of the States of the Nation—and the governors are the chief executive officers of the States and are responsible for enforcing the law—or if the Federal Government is not satisfied with the enforcement being given by the governors to the voting laws of the States to protect the rights of people to vote, then why do they not enforce the Federal statute, which is already on the books? Mr. COOPER. Because of the Senator’s kind reference, I should like to ask a question as follows: Does the Senator know that in Kentucky all citizens, including all Negroes, have had, since the War Between the States, the right to vote, have exercised that right, and that it has never been questioned? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is the case, because I have heard that they vote there. They are voting in the South in larger numbers than ever before. No persons in my State are deprived of the right to vote. If they are qualified to vote, they are allowed to vote. Of course, no man who is not qualified ought to be allowed to vote. New York State has a much higher standard, as I said a while ago, than we have. If a person can merely read or write in my State, he can vote. In New York one has to be a high-school graduate, I believe, or at least has to meet a literacy test. So we are not nearly so strict in South Carolina as they are in New York. The Senator comes from a border State. Kentucky is a great State. I suggest to the Senator, however, since he is from a border State that went in part with the North and in part with the South, that the Senator stick with the South. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I will ask the Senator if it is not true that Kentucky had to make that choice almost a hundred years ago and they chose to stick with the Union? Mr. THURMOD. Mr. President, if there is any Member in the Senate who is not satisfied with the voting protection given by the governors and the other officials of the States of the Nation, again I say that all they have to do is to call upon the Justice Department to enforce section 594. It is now against the Federal law to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or to attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any voter, in any way, shape, or form. That is the Federal statute which is on the books now. Why not enforce that statute? What is the idea of coming here with a right-to-vote bill? That is a big, high-sounding word that does not mean anything. If we pass this bill, we will pass an unconstitutional bill. It will be all right if the Justice Department will enforce section 594. I believe they are enforcing it. Is there anyone that thinks they are not enforcing this law? Is there anyone who thinks the present administration is not enforcing section 594? If the Justice Department are enforcing this law, they are protecting people in this matter now. If they are not enforcing this law, let them enforce it, and that will protect them. Either the Justice Department are not enforcing this law, if they have had complaints, or they have not had any complaints. Has the Justice Department had complaints, such as we have been hearing about, that many people have been denied the right to vote? We hear that in the South many people are denied the right to vote. What is there now; what has there been in the past 5 years to keep the Attorney General from going to any Southern State to enforce this statute? It is a Federal statute. The Attorney General not only has the right to enforce it, but he has the duty. If there have been any complaints about people in the South not voting, I have not heard of them. But if there have been any complaints about them not voting, then the Justice Department ought to do something about it. If the Justice Department has taken no action to enforce this statute, it shows one of two things: The Department has not had anybody objecting, or, if there were objections, it ignored them and did not do its duty by enforcing the statute. The point is there is a Federal statute now, so why pass another bill? All the Congress needs to do is to follow the Constitution. If we will follow the line of demarcation in the Constitution between the powers delegated to the Federal Government and the powers reserved to the States, we will not get into difficulties about all these different things. If a bill were introduced to repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, there would not be any question but that the Congress would not consider it because it would be unconstitutional. The qualifications of voting are reserved to the States. Why can we not look at it from that viewpoint and not try to say whether it is a good bill or a bad bill? On the right to vote bill, should there be any question whether we are going to accept this compromise? I do not think there should be any question at all, because the Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The court decision which I have before me holds that criminal contempt is a crime. Mr. President— The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). The Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I will proceed now, if there are no further questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina has the floor. Mr. THURMOND. Article III., defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield to the able Senator for a question. Mr. LANGER. Is it correct that under Federal statute 594 there can be imposed a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. The compromise right to vote bill cuts it down to a fine of $300 and 45 days in jail. If the judge determines that the defendant ought to suffer a greater penalty than that, the case has to go to a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator, I will say if this bill is passed, of course I am expecting it to be held unconstitutional as soon as it can be tested. But until that is done, they will have a choice. There could be a prosecution under the Federal statute, which is section 594: or such a person could be taken before a Federal judge, and the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to try the case. If the judge decided he was in a hurry to take a vacation trip, he could simply say, “I will try the case myself.” Then, under the provisions of the compromise measure, the judge would try the case; and the person being tried could not complain. Let me ask the Senator from North Dakota what he would do. Suppose he were to find himself in such a situation; and suppose the judge were to say to him, “Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I will not give you a jury trial. I will try you myself”—and then the judge would rear back on his haunches and would grin. What would the Senator from North Dakota do under those circumstances? There would be nothing he could do, because the judge would have a right to try him under the provisions of the compromise measure which has come to us from the House of Representatives. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Inasmuch as section 594 is on the statute books, why is not this right-to-vote bill entirely superfluous? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has put his finger on exactly what I have been discussing in the Senate for—let me see, Mr. President, how long has it been? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-one hours. Mr. THURMOND. No; Mr. President, it has been 22 hours and 10 minutes. [Laughter.] For 22 hours and 10 minutes I have been trying to emphasize that point—namely, why is this compromise necessary, when a Federal statute on this subject is already on the statute books? It provides for a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail. If the Department of Justice is interested in the persons who are alleged to have been deprived of the right to vote—regardless of whether they are whites, Negroes, or others—why does not the Department of Justice take action to enforce section 594 and thus protect the right to vote? The Department of Justice can do that under section 594. That is up to the Department of Justice. I do not know what the Department will do; that is up to the Department of Justice. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. During the last 5 years, has anyone been arrested under section 594? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota, I wish to say that I have never heard that anyone in my State has been tried under that statute. So there is no use in having the representatives of the Department of Justice come to South Carolina and say that people there are deprived of the right to vote, because if anyone representing the Department of Justice does come to South Carolina and does make such a statement, I will tell him that it is his own fault, for those in the Department of Justice have failed to do their duty; they have a law under which they can punish such persons, but they have not done so. Either no one in South Carolina is deprived of the right to vote, or else the Department of Justice has failed to do its duty. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. I get the point very clearly. Mr. THURMOND. Let me ask whether there are any more questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield the floor? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I shall proceed. I am just trying to find a section of the Constitution to which I wish to refer. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, while the Senator from South Carolina is doing that, will he yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Can the Senator from South Carolina tell the Senate how many years ago section 594 was enacted into law? Mr. THURMOND. I believe it was in 1939. Mr. LANGER. Do I correctly understand that since that time, there has been no prosecution under that provision of law? Is that true, so far as the Senator from South Carolina knows? Mr. THURMOND. I have not heard of a single prosecution in South Carolina under that statute. Mr. LANGER. Has the Senator heard of one in any other State? Mr. THURMOND. If there has been one, I have not heard of it. I would not say there has not been one in some other State, but I do not know of a case of that sort which has been tried in the Federal courts. Some have been tried in the State courts; we are enforcing our State laws. But I have not heard of a case in which anyone has been tried under this Federal statute—which carries with it a heavy penalty, namely, a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment in jail for 1 year. I have never heard of anyone who has been tried under that law. But, Mr. President, of course I am not surprised at that, because in South Carolina, everyone who wishes to register to vote and to vote, does register and does vote, if he is qualified. So I do not think it likely that there would be any cases of that sort in South Carolina. Mr. President, there have been insinuations to the effect that the Southern States are denying some people the right to vote. I think insinuations about any States should stop—whether that be Northern States, Southern States, Eastern States, or Western States. All of us are Americans. We have a great country. In all the wars the United States has ever fought, the United States has had brave soldiers from all sections of the country. It is very bad to have people in one section of the country try to snipe at people in another section of the country. That is the very thing George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address. Mr. LANGER. Yes, I am familiar with that admonition by George Washington. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, if anyone in the South has been intimidated or coerced or threatened with regard to voting—if anyone in any Southern State has been treated in that way—the district attorney in the State can take action any day he wishes to; and if the Department of Justice does not do it, the Department is failing to perform its duty with respect to such violations; or else there are no violations of that sort. So evidently there have not been any violations of that sort in the State of South Carolina, or else no one has complained about them. As a matter of fact, I am quite sure that there have not been any violations of that sort in my State, because, as I have said, anyone in South Carolina who wishes to vote, and who is qualified to vote, and who registers, can vote. Mr. President, I should like to read what George Washington said. Sometimes, Mr. President, when I see the able Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting in his seat in this Chamber—so able a judge and lawyer, and a fine soldier in World War II.; and when I see in the Chamber the distinguished senior Senator from Michigan [Mr. {{sc|Potter}}], who lost both of his legs in that war; and when I see my other fellow veterans who are distinguished Members of this body or are distinguished Members of the House of Representatives, and then when I see matters of a sectional nature brought up here, and when one group wishes to try to have enacted into law a measure aimed at punishing another section of the country, it makes my heart ache. My colleagues who are veterans did not feel that way when they were serving in the Armed Forces overseas; they did not feel that way when they were in uniform. If the Members of Congress from various sections of the United States would just accord to all the other States the same respect that they expect to have accorded to their own States I am sure that we would not be having this trouble; and then I would not have been speaking here on this subject for more than 22 hours in an effort to arouse the American people. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For 22 hours and 10 minutes. Mr. THURMOND. No, Mr. President, for 22 hours and 20 minutes. [Laughter.] I would not be trying to arouse the American people if it were not necessary. But why should the North want to pick on those of us who live in the South? Why do the people in New York want to pick on us? Why do the people in New Jersey want to pick on us? Or why do the people of any other section of the country want to pick on us? We think we are fairly good people. We think we are patriotic. The Members of Congress from the Southern States want to work together with all the other Members of Congress. Mr. President, I want to extend every courtesy to every other Member of Congress, and I want to see those who live in any particular section of the country extend to the rest of the people of the country the same courtesy that they expect to have extended to themselves. But, Mr. President, I can tell you this: This right-to-vote bill—and I say this because I know something about its history—is aimed at the South. It is aimed at the South; and it hurts me to see that done, because South Carolina is not guilty, and this bill should not be enacted. I do not believe the other Southern States are guilty. The Southern States have done their part in every way. As I have said, the people of the Southern States have fought for their country and have served in public office in every way. They have been honorable people. Yet, in order to try to win the votes of certain minority blocs, some pressure groups are willing to punish us, to put us under the heel, and to grind and grind and grind us. I am getting tired of it. (Manifestations of applause by the occupants of the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The doorkeepers must keep the galleries in order. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. COOPER. A minute ago the Senator spoke very generously of our association and friendship during World War II. I know that he did not mean to intimate that there was any intention upon the part of the Senator from Kentucky, in his vote on the civil-rights bill, to show any bias or prejudice toward his own people in the South. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that there was not, Senator. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator remember? Mr. THURMOND. I remember, and I say to the Senator from Kentucky he is one of the finest and most gracious gentlemen I have known. The Senator from Kentucky is not one of those ardent proponents of the bill who is trying to ram the bill home. I do not know how he is going to vote, but he is a good constitutional lawyer. I hope he will not vote for it. I hope he will think over the jury trial issue and not vote for it. He has not been one of those who has been baiting the South. Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Kentucky is a good friend of the Senator from South Carolina, but the Senator from Kentucky will vote for civil rights. He intends to vote for the bill this evening or at some later time. In the debate he said again and again that he believes in the juries in the South, and that the people of the South would respect the law and would follow the law. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina knows that the Senator from Kentucky said that. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure he did say that. The only thing is that if the Senator feels that the South obeys the law, I do not understand why he should want to have this bill passed. I will get on with what George Washington said. Mr. President, George Washington, in his Farewell Address, used his strongest language against those who would divide our country; he urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern—Atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations: they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} That was George Washington speaking. George Washington wanted to see the people from the North to the South, and to the East and the West, bound together with a fraternal feeling. He wanted a fraternal attitude manifested. Why should we not manifest a fraternal attitude on these matters? Why should we not try to help another section, and not sponsor legislation which is aimed at any particular section, merely to try to get votes to win an election? I have said, and I repeat, that since every State in the United States from Alabama to Wyoming has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and since the Federal Government has a statute on its books to protect the right to vote, there is no need for this bill. I say, and I repeat, that I think the bill is purely political, and I think that both parties have been trying to grab the ball to see who could get the spotlight for the elections coming up in 1958. {{smaller block|Article III, defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. We may note, for example, two further uses of the plural: First, the judicial power is to extend “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.” Second, treason against the United States is to consist “only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies.” Because the authority of the Court will be considered at length in a later chapter, it will suffice here merely to point out that nowhere in article III is the Court given jurisdiction over controversies between a State and the United States. That proposal was specifically advanced during the convention, and specifically rejected.}} {{smaller block|Every section—indeed, every paragraph—of article IV touches upon the Federal nature of the Union. Full faith and credit are to be given in each State, to the acts and judicial proceedings of every other State. If this were not a Federal Union, the provision would be nonsense. Beyond this, the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. A person charged in any State with crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall be delivered upon demand to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime.}} {{smaller block|Then comes the provision that Northern States were to flout over a period of 30 years: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.”}} {{smaller block|Finally, we may note in article IV the provision for admitting new States into this Union (not this Nation, but this Union): “No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.”}} {{smaller block|Article V had best be quoted in full. It has not been changed by so much as an apostrophe in the years since it came from Philadelphia in September of 1787. It still fixes and defines the sovereign power:}} {{smaller block|Pause for a moment over this article of the Constitution. We are dealing here with Taylor’s “will to enact” and “power to execute;” we are dealing with Marshall’s “power to make and unmake.” It was plainly envisioned by the framers that their work would require amendment through the years. “That useful alterations will be suggested by experience, could not but be foreseen,” Madison was to write. There was a double aim in the provision, even a triple aim. {{SIC|Aricle|Article}} V, Madison tells us, was intended, first, to guard equally against too-easy amendment on the one hand and too-difficult amendment on the other. It was drafted, secondly, to permit amendments to originate both with the Federal and with the State Governments. But it was intended, finally, to leave the ultimate decision upon changing the Constitution to the sovereign States themselves—not to the people as a mass, nor even to a bare majority of the States as such. It was recognized that the great, overriding principle of protection for minorities should apply here as bindingly as it was to apply elsewhere. If one-fourth of the States plus one should object to a change in the Constitution—even if that change were desired by three-fourths minus one (and even if this larger fraction should include the great bulk of the total population)—the change could not be engrafted to the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Article VI is brief. Its first provision covers debts and engagements entered into under the Articles of Confederation and continues these obligations under the proposed new Constitution; its third provision prohibits any religious test as a qualification for public office and requires an oath to support the Constitution of all public officers, both State and Federal.}} {{smaller block|It is the second provision that merits brief attention in this summary review:}} {{smaller block|“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.”}} {{smaller block|Let us go back: What is to be supreme? Three things. First, “this Constitution.” Secondly, “laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof.” Third, treaties made “under the authority of the United States.” That is all. Not Executive orders of the President. Not even judgments of the Supreme Court. The Constitution, the laws made in pursuance thereof, the treaties.}} {{smaller block|In passing, note the phrase “law of the land.” It stems originally from the Magna Carta; but as it appears in the Constitution, “law of the land” was merely a substitution, proposed by the committee on style, for “law of the several States and their citizens and inhabitants.” The object was to extend this new supreme law to Territories as well as to the States. And this phrase, “law of the land,” is as close as the Constitution ever comes to suggesting a “nation.” Actually the word “nation” or the word “national” never appears in the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|The aim, we will recall, was to form “a more perfect Union.” Representatives and taxes were to be apportioned among the several States which may be included “within this Union.” The militia may be called forth to execute “the laws of the Union.” The President is to provide Congress with information on the “state of the Union.” New States are to be admitted “into this Union.” The guaranty of a republican form of government goes “to every State in this Union.” But never, at any point, are the United States described, in the Constitution, as comprising a “nation.”}} {{smaller block|This is not to contend, of course, that ours is not a Nation, or that the Federal Government does not operate nationally. It is only to suggest that the deliberate terms of the Constitution speak for themselves, and should be heeded: Our country is, first and foremost, originally and still, a Union of States. And when we speak of the law of the land, it should be kept steadily in mind that the land is a Federal Union, in which each of the States stands coequal with every other State. The Constitution is supreme not only in its authority over each State, but also in its protection over each State. And each State, each respective State, is entitled to rely upon the Constitution as embodying supreme law that all other States must adhere to with equal fidelity, like it or not, until the Constitution be changed by the States themselves.}} {{smaller block|Note, too, the careful qualification that defines laws enacted by the Congress. Just any laws of the United States are not enough: Laws, to be binding, must be laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Any attempted statutes that invade the residuary authority of the States, Hamilton tells us, “will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” And he adds, at another point, that:}} {{smaller block|“There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”}} {{smaller block|Surely, it may be urged that precisely the same standard must be applied to other branches of the Federal Government—the executive and judicial no less than the legislative. By extension, thus, judgments of the Court, to be supreme law of the land, must be made pursuant to the Constitution. A judgment of the Court, so violative of the clear terms and understandings of the Constitution as to invade the residuary authority of the States, must also be regarded as a usurpation, and should deserve to be treated as such. The argument will be pursued at greater length hereafter.}} {{smaller block|Finally, this brief examination of the Constitution from the standpoint of the States may be concluded with a second look at article VII. It should be read carefully; for this is the clause that binds: “The ratification of the conventions of 9 States”—not, again, the approval of a majority of the people in a popular referendum, but the ratification of 9 States—“shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same.”}} {{smaller block|Thus, on September 17, the Convention concluded its work. George Washington, as President of the Convention, transmitted the document to the Congress. A prophetic sentence appeared in his letter, as he mentioned the compromises necessary for the surrender of sovereign powers: “It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved.” The States had done the best they could through their delegates. Eager to consolidate their Union, each State had been disposed “to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected.” They launched the ship.}} {{smaller block|“Well, Doctor,” said the lady to Mr. Franklin, “what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”}} {{smaller block|“A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”}} It is pretty hard to keep when bills are introduced to violate the Constitution by chipping off and whittling away the rights of the States in an effort, it seems, to reduce them to colonial status. Continuing the quotation from the Kilpatrick book: {{c|{{x-smaller|6. THE PROPHETIC MR. HENRY}}}} {{smaller block|For the States’ understanding of what the Constitution was to mean to them, as States, we can look not only to the internal evidence of the Constitution itself, but to the debates in the ratifying conventions and to some of the contemporary criticism, notably in the Federalist papers. We can look, also, to some of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court from time to time, and to the writings of scholars of our own day.}} {{smaller block|The evidence is overwhelming. By written compact, solemnly ratified, the States agreed mutually to delegate certain of their sovereign powers to a Federal Government. They enumerated these powers. All other powers they reserved to themselves, and these reserved powers did not need to be enumerated: the reserved powers constituted an inherent powers of sovereign States not specifically abridged.}} {{smaller block|So plain was this understanding that the feeling most frequently encountered, in reading comments of the period, is one of incredulity that anyone should doubt it.}} {{smaller block|“The proposed constitution,” said Hamilton, “so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power.”}} {{smaller block|So, too, said Madison:}} {{smaller block|“It is to be remembered that the General Government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its {{SIC|jursidiction|jurisdiction}} is limited to certain enumerated objects which concern all the members of the Republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments, which can extend their care to all other objects which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity.”}} {{smaller block|Neither Hamilton nor Madison could quite imagine the Federal Government ever seriously encroaching upon the States.}} {{smaller block|“Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require,” said Hamilton, “I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons intrusted with the administration of the General Government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository.”}} {{smaller block|Then he added, with a singular absence of prophecy:}} {{smaller block|“The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things, in short, which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected. * * *}} {{smaller block|“It will always be far more easy for the State governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the National Government to encroach upon the State authorities.”}} That is where he was wrong. In other words, Hamilton had no idea that the Federal Government would ever attempt to encroach on the rights of the states. In his day it looked to him as if it would be easier for the States to encroach on the rights of the Federal Government than for the Federal Government to encroach on the rights of the States. But in recent years do-gooders, welfare-staters, left-wingers, and other pressure groups are trying to transform this Government. They are trying to make of it a national government. It is not a national government; it is a Federal Government. The States came together in a federation and formed this Government. That is the conception which I hope we can get over to the people of the Nation, that our Government is not a national government; it is a Federal Government made by the States coming together and forming a federation and signing the compact which became the Constitution. Therefore we have a Federal Government, not a national government. I hope we shall never have a national government. We must stop the Federal usurpation that is now going on and has been going on for some years. {{smaller block|Madison, also, imagined that the Federal Government would “be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments.” For his part, Hamilton thought it more probable that the States would encroach upon the Federal Government, and he imagined that in such contests the State governments, because they “will commonly possess most influence” over the people, would dominate Federal agencies “to the disadvantage of the Union.” However, all such conjectures Hamilton viewed as “extremely vague and fallible.” He preferred to assume that the people “will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium between the general and the State governments.”}} {{smaller block|In No. 45, Madison treated at considerable length the widespread apprehension that the States would be obliterated. Some of his comments have been outdated; what he has to say about the election of Senators, for example, unhappily has been superseded by the misfortune of the 17th amendment. Some of his other observations, dealing with functions of what was to become the Bureau of Internal Revenue, may occasion some wary reflection on the lengths by which even a Madison could miss his guess. But as contemporary evidence of the role guaranteed to the States, No. 45 justifies quotation at some length:}} {{smaller block|“The State governments will have the advantage of the Federal Government, whet her we compare them in respect to the immediate dependence of the one on the other; to the weight of personal influence which each side will possess; to the powers respectively vested in them to the predilection and probable support of the people; to the disposition and faculty of resisting and frustrating the measures of each other.}} {{smaller block|“The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the Federal Government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. Even the House of Representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the State legislatures. Thus, each of the principal branches of the Federal Government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing toward them. On the other side, the component parts of the State governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the Federal Government, and very little, if at all, to the local influence of its members.}} {{smaller block|“The number of individuals employed under the Constitution of the United States will be much smaller than the number employed under the particular States. There will consequently be less of personal influence on the side or the former than of the latter. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments of 13 and more States, the justices of peace, officers of militia, ministerial officers of justice, with all the county, corporation, and town officers, for 3 millions and more of people, intermixed, and having particular acquaintance with every class and circle of people, must exceed, beyond all proportion, both in number and influence, those of every description who will be employed in the administration of the Federal system. Compare the members of the three great departments of the 13 States, excluding from the judiciary department the justices of peace, with the members of the corresponding departments of the single government of the Union; compare the militia officers of 3 millions of people with the military and marine officers of any establishment which is within the compass of probability, or, I may add, of possibility, and in this view alone, we may pronounce the advantage of the States to be decisive.}} {{smaller block|“If the Federal Government is to have collectors of revenue, the State governments will have theirs also. And as those of the former will be principally on the seacoast, and not very numerous, whilst those of the latter will be spread over the face of the country, and will be very numerous, the advantage in this view also lies on the same side. It is true, that the confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union·, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. * * *}} {{smaller block|“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.}} {{smaller block|“The operations of the Federal Government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the Federal Government. The more adequate, indeed, the Federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States.}} {{smaller block|“If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy and candor, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of new powers to the union, than in the invigoration of its original powers. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the Articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them.”}} {{smaller block|Even John Marshall, who did more than any man in our history to aggrandize the Federal Government and to weaken the States, never doubted the basic structure of divided powers. Consider, briefly, his comment in the famed case of ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland''. The case arose when Congress established the Bank of the United States, and Maryland undertook to levy a tax upon the bank’s Baltimore branch; James McCulloch, the cashier, refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued.}} {{smaller block|The legal questions were two: Did Congress have power to incorporate the bank, and secondly, did Maryland have power to tax it? Marshall answered the first one “Yes,” the second, “No.” With the bulk of his reasoning, strict constructionists and apostles of States rights will disagree: Marshall’s sophisticated mind did not boggle at stretching “necessary” to mean “convenient.” In considering the actual act of ratification by which the Union was formed, Marshall was not much impressed by the fact, which he could not escape, that the people met in State conventions. “Where else should they have assembled?” he asked. But even here, a couple of sentences merit quotation as evidence from the States greatest detractor:}} {{smaller block|“It is true, [the people] assembled in their several States—and where else should they have assembled? No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.”}} {{smaller block|Marshall went on in his opinion to confuse “States” and “State governments,” thus setting up a convenient strawman to batter down. No one ever had contended that the Constitution was ratified by State governments, but Marshall, with a glittering display of intellectual swordsmanship, neatly skewered the nonexistent objection. Then he went on to say:}} {{smaller block|“This Government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was pending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted. But the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising, and will probably continue to arise, as long as our system shall exist.”}} {{smaller block|True enough, the question of “the extent of powers” does continue to arise to this day, though the doctrines of Marshall have so pervaded public thinking that it often is forgotten that the Federal Government has any limitations whatever. But the separateness of the States and the nature of their delegated powers were clearly recognized when the Constitution was created. The prophets who foresaw the trend toward consolidation—notably Patrick Henry and George Mason—were told they were old women, seeing ghosts.}} {{smaller block|Consider, if you will, the debate on ratification in Virginia. The transcript offers some absorbing reading. If the clash of a Henry and a Mason with a Pendleton and a Madison does not prompt reflection upon subsequent corruption of the Constitution, at the very least their battle must lead to regrets at the decline in the quality of today’s legislative debates. There were giants in those days. This was, to paraphrase Marshall, a Constitution they were debating. What was said of the relationship of the States and the Federal Government?}} {{smaller block|Go back in time. This was a sultry summer in Richmond. At least twice the brief convention was interrupted by thunder storms so severe the delegates were forced to recess. Tempers flared sharply. At one point Edmund Randolph, infuriated with Patrick Henry, was prepared to let their friendship “fall like Lucifer, never to rise again.” They began on Monday, June 2; they adjourned ''sine die'' on Friday, June 27. Into those 4 weeks, the Virginians of 1788 packed a world of profound reflection upon the meaning and intention of the Constitution.}} {{smaller block|Edmund Pendleton served as president of the Virginia convention. He was a remarkable man: lawyer, scholar, statesman, thinker. In advocating ratification, Pendleton was joined by James Madison, John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, and Light Horse Harry Lee. They carried the day against Patrick Henry and George Mason, as leading opponents of the proposition.}} {{smaller block|The convention scarcely had begun before Henry established the broad spread of argument. He did not propose to abide by any parliamentary decision to debate one clause at a time. Before the convention in Philadelphia the previous summer, said Henry, a general peace and a universal tranquillity had prevailed. Now he was “extremely uneasy at the proposed change of government.” He swept the room with a cold eye: “Be extremely cautious, watchful, jealous of your liberty. Instead of securing your rights, you may lose them forever.”}} {{smaller block|George Mason came to his side. He charged that the new Constitution would create “a national government, and no longer a confederation.” He especially denounced the authority proposed in the general government to levy direct taxes. This power, being at the discretion of Congress and unconfined, “and without any kind of control, must carry everything before it.” “The idea of a consolidated government,” he said, “is totally subversive of every principle which has hitherto governed us. This power is calculated to annihilate totally the State governments. * * * These two concurrent powers cannot exist long together; the one will destroy the other; the general government, being paramount to and in every respect more powerful than the State governments, the latter must give way to the former.”}} {{smaller block|Then Mason voiced the argument that is as applicable in the mid-20th century as it was toward the end of the 18th:}} {{smaller block|“Is it to be supposed that one national government will suit so extensive a country, embracing so many climates, and containing inhabitants so very different in manners, habits, and customs? It is ascertained, by history, that there never was a government over a very extensive country without destroying the liberties of the people. * * * Popular governments can only exist in small territories.”}} {{smaller block|On Thursday, June 5, Pendleton undertook to respond to Henry and to Mason. Was the proposed government, he inquired, truly a consolidated government? Of course not. “If this be such a government, I will confess, with my worthy friend, that it is inadmissible. * * *” The proposed Federal Government, he said, “extends to the general purposes of the Union. It does not intermeddle with the local, particular affairs of the States. * * * It is the interest of the Federal to preserve the State governments; upon the latter the existence of the former depends. * * * I wonder how any gentleman, reflecting on the subject, could have conceived an idea of the possibility of the latter.”}} {{smaller block|Henry conceived it. He conceived it very clearly. The proposed Constitution, he felt, was “extremely pernicious, impolitic and dangerous.” He saw no jeopardy to the people in the Articles of Confederation; he saw great jeopardy in this new Constitution. And he had this to say:}} {{smaller block|“We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation. We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: By that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, ts about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism.”}} {{smaller block|And note this prophetic observation:}} {{smaller block|“There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?”}} {{smaller block|What indeed? What have these ideal checks and balances availed the States in the 20th century? Henry saw the empty prospect: “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints toward monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American?”}} {{smaller block|It was monarchy, ''per se'', that Henry foresaw. And it was despotism at the hands of a general government that he feared.}} {{smaller block|“What are your checks in this Government?” he kept asking.}} {{smaller block|No one ever answered him accurately, though half a dozen members of the Convention undertook to refute Henry and to allay his apprehensions. Randolph, replying to the objection that the country soon would be too large for effective government from the capital, commented that “no extent on earth seems to me too great,” but he added, “provided the laws be wisely made and executed.” It has proved to be a large qualification.}} {{smaller block|Madison also responded to Henry’s general objection that the liberty of the people was in danger: “Since the general civilization of mankind,” he said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.”}} {{smaller block|Follow closely what Madison had to say next. He is expounding the relationship of the State and Federal Governments as he, above all men, understood it:}} {{smaller block|“Give me leave to say something of the nature of the Government. * * * There are a number of opinions; but the principal question is, whether it be a federal or consolidated government. In order to judge properly of the question before us, we must consider it minutely in its principal parts. I conceive myself that it is of a mixed nature; it is in a manner unprecedented; we cannot find one express example in the experience of the world. It stands by itself. In some respects it is a government of a federal nature; in others it is of a consolidated nature. * * * Who are parties to it?”}} {{smaller block|Note this, especially; it was quoted earlier, but it bears repetition:}} {{smaller block|“The people—but not the people as composing one great body; but the people as composing 13 sovereignties.”}} {{smaller block|Francis Corbin, one of the ablest political students of his time, then joined Madison, in soothing the growing fear that the Federal Government might one day absorb the State Governments. “The powers of the General Government,” he said, “are only of a general nature, and their object is to protect, defend, and strengthen the United States; but the internal administration of government is left to the State legisiatures, who exclusively retain such powers as will give the States the advantages of small republics, without the danger commonly attendant on the weakness of such governments.”}} {{smaller block|Henry, undaunted, straightened his red wig and returned to the debate. “That government is no more than a choice among evils,” he remarked, “is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages.” He could not accept the idea that this new government would be “a mighty benefit to us.”}} {{smaller block|“Sir, I am made of so incredulous materials, that assertions and declarations do not satisfy me. I must be convinced, sir. I shall retain my infidelity on that subject till I see our liberties secured in a manner perfectly satisfactory to my understanding.”}} {{smaller block|This exchange occurred on Friday, June 16. The following Monday, Henry renewed his assault:}} {{smaller block|“A number of characters, of the greatest eminence in this country, object to this government for its consolidating tendency. This is not imaginary. It is a formidable reality. If consolidation proves to be as mischievous to this country as it has been to other countries, what will the poor inhabitants of this country do? This government will operate like an ambuscade. It will destroy the State governments, and swallow the liberties of the people, without giving previous notice.”}} {{smaller block|Madison came back with fresh replies and new remonstrances. The States were safely protected, he assured the Virginia convention. And renewing the arguments he had advanced in the Federalist, “There will be an irresistible bias toward the State governments.” It was utterly improbable—almost impossible—that the Federal Government ever would encroach upon the States. “The means of influence consist in having the disposal of gifts and emoluments, and in the number of persons employed by and dependent upon a government. Will any gentleman compare the number of persons which will be employed in the General Government with the number of those which will be in the State governments? The number of dependents upon the State governments will be infinitely greater than those on the General Government. I may say, with truth, that there never was a more economical government in any age or country, nor which will require fewer hands, or give less influence.”}} {{smaller block|Pendleton again gained the floor to tackle Henry’s objection. We are told, he said, “that there will be a war between the two bodies equally our representatives, and that the State government will be destroyed, and consolidated into the General Government. I stated before, that this could not be so. The two governments act in different manners, and for different purposes—the General Government in great national concerns, in which we are interested in common with other members of the Union; the State legislature in our mere local concerns. * * * Our dearest rights—life, liberty and property—as Virginians, are still in the hands of our State legislature.”}} {{smaller block|Patrick Henry remained unconvinced. His opinion and Madison’s were “diametrically opposite.” The mild-mannered Madison said the States would prevail. Henry, a dramatic and eloquent speaker, feared the Federal Government would prevail. Bring forth the Federal allurements, he cried, “and compare them with the poor, contemptible things that the State legislatures can bring forth. * * * There are rich, fat, Federal emoluments. Your rich, smug, fine, fat, Federal officers—the number of collectors of taxes and excises—will outnumber anything from the States. Who can cope with the excise man and the tax men?”}} {{smaller block|Henry did not imagine that the dual governments could be kept each within its proper orbit. “I assert that there is danger of interference,” he remarked, “because no line is drawn between the powers of the two governments, in many instances; and where there is a line, there is no check to prevent the one from encroaching upon the powers of the other. I therefore contend that they must interfere, and that this interference must subvert the State government as being less powerful. Unless your government have checks, it must inevitably terminate in the destruction of your privileges.”}} {{smaller block|William Grayson, burly veteran of the Revolution, was another member of the Virginia convention who clearly perceived the absence of effective checks and balances. “Power ought to have such checks and limitations,” he said, “as to prevent bad men from abusing it. It ought to be granted on a supposition that men will be bad; for it may eventually be so.”}} {{smaller block|Grayson was here discussing his apprehensions toward the powers vested by article III in the Supreme Court of the United States. “This Court,” he protested, “has more power than any court under heaven.” The Court’s appellate jurisdiction, especially, aroused his alarm: “What has it in view, unless to subvert the State governments?”}} Mr. President, only in the past few months this Court rendered a decision which struck down the sedition statutes in 48 States and two Territories, merely because the Federal Government had a statute on sedition. The Supreme Court held that because of that fact, the Federal Government had preempted the whole field, and struck down the State statutes on sedition. Sedition means overthrowing the Government. That is the practical effect of it. Steve Nelson, in Pennsylvania, was convicted under Pennsylvania law. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, and the Court turned him loose, on the ground that when the Federal sedition statute was enacted, that statute preempted the field. Thus it struck down all the State statutes on the subject. Forty-two States and two Territories had statutes on the subject. Judge Howard Smith, in the House, who was the author of the bill, said there was no such intention on his part when he introduced the bill. There was even a provision in the bill that the State laws should not be affected. Yet the Supreme Court struck down the sedition statutes in 42 States and two Territories. Nine men overruled the legislatures of 42 States, and would have overruled the supreme courts in 42 States if their statutes had been tested. In New York, a man named Slochower was employed by the City College of New York. The charter of the City College provides that if any schoolteacher takes refuge behind the fifth amendment, upon being asked by an official body about his Communist connections, he shall be automatically dismissed. He was questioned by an official body. He was automatically dismissed. But what happened? The Supreme Court reinstated him in his job. City College of New York cannot control its own faculty because of these nine men in Washington. Forty-eight State legislatures cannot have sedition statutes because of these nine men in Washington. Out in New Mexico a man applied for membership in the bar. A similar situation occurred in California. One of the men was admittedly a former Communist. The bar did not want him to become a member. Certainly the bar board should have discretion enough to determine whether a man had the character to be admitted. The board turned him down. In the other case the man refused to answer questions about his Communist connections. Both of those men—one a former Communist, the other tied in with the Communists—were refused licenses to practice law, one in New Mexico and the other in California. But the nine men comprising the Supreme Court ordered those boards to give the applicants their licenses. Also, in California there were 14 Communists convicted of actually organizing Communist cells. They were preaching the doctrine of communism. They were convicted in the California court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. What did that Court do? It turned five of them loose and gave the other nine a new trial. It virtually held, in fact, that one can preach communism all he wants to. So long as the organizing does not begin until a future day, it will be all right. In other words, there would have to be action to put it into effect immediately under the holding of the Court. How are we going to protect this Government? How is the FBI going to protect it? How are the people of California going to protect it when they catch people who are actually organizing Communist cells and who are advocating communism and preaching communism, and then the Supreme Court turns them loose, laying down a dangerous doctrine—and it is a dangerous doctrine to which I just referred. Then there is the Watkins case, Mr. President, which has hampered investigations by the Congress. The Supreme Court handed down a decision after Watkins had been convicted of contempt and turned him loose. The Court, in effect, held that a member of the counsel or someone who wanted to ask questions would have to explain the questions to the witness. A smart witness would never admit he understood or comprehended what was meant. In the city of Washington, Mr. President, one of the most dangerous decisions, I think, that has ever been handed down involved the man Mallory, who raped a white woman. He was caught the next day. He was caught about 2 o’clock. Along about 8 or 9 o’clock he was given a lie-detector test, and he confessed the crime and admitted that he raped the white woman. The officers could not get hold of the United States Commissioner that night, and had to wait until the next morning, about 9 o’clock. They held the admitted criminal from about 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, and in the meantime he gave a confession to the police in Washington. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. He had confessed his crime. But the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. What did those nine men do with it? They reversed the decision and said the police had held the man too long. What is going to happen in this Nation if police officers cannot hold criminals from 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, especially when those criminals have confessed to their crimes? Heretofore in judicial administration there has been no particular time fixed. A person could be held a reasonable time before arraignment. Under this decision the man would have to confess at just about the time he was arrested, because the Supreme Court held that after he is arrested he is under coercion; and because he was held that short time the Supreme Court reversed the case, and the district attorney said there would not be any use to try it again; that the evidence depended on the confession. As a result of that case, the Chief of Police in Washington said it would be very difficult to apprehend and detect criminals and arrest them hereafter and be able to make the evidence stand up in court. He called it a terrible handicap to law enforcement in such cases. Mr. President, there are other decisions the Supreme Court has handed down about which I should like to tell the Senate. The Court seems to get its greatest delight out of turning loose Communists. The record is disgraceful. The FBI, the law-enforcement agencies, police officers chase down Communists and narcotic people—and they are hard to catch. Then the Supreme Court reverses decisions and turns them loose and they walk the streets, as did the confessed rapist who was sentenced on his own confession. It is a disgrace to this Nation. Mr. President, I still think this compromise bill is unconstitutional, but with the present Supreme Court no one can predict what they will do about it. {{smaller block|It was John Marshall, who 15 years later would do so much to justify Mason’s apprehensions, who undertook to allay his fears now.

THE STATES RATIFY}}}} {{smaller block|In the end, Virginia ratified. It was a close vote. A motion to postpone ratification until amendments, in the nature of a bill of rights, could be considered by “the other States in the American confederacy,” failed by 88 to 80. Then the main question was put, and this was what Virginia agreed to. It merits careful reading:}} {{smaller block|“We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, * * * having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will; that, therefore, no right, of any denomination, can be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by the Congress, by the Senate or House of Representatives, acting in any capacity, by the President, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances in which power is given by the Constitution for those purposes; and that, among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.”}} {{smaller block|The vote on that main question was 89 to 79, but even that narrow margin of approval was predicated upon a gentlemen’s agreement that the Virginia convention would recommend a number of amendments, in the form of a Bill of Rights, to be presented to the first Congress. And the first of these recommended amendments reads: “That each State in the Union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|By the time Virginia completed ratification, of course her decision no longer carried compelling importance. The Virginia convention had opened on June 2, not quite 2 weeks after South Carolina, on May 23, had become the eighth State to ratify. But while the Virginians were debating the issue, New Hampshire, on June 21, had become No. 9: The new union had been formed, and the Constitution had become binding upon the nine States “ratifying the same.” It has ever been Virginia’s fate to make the right decisions, but to put off making them as long as possible.}} {{smaller block|In this consideration of State and Federal relationships, there is something to be learned from the other resolutions of ratification. The easy ones came first: Delaware came first, on December 7, 1787, “fully, freely, and entirely” approving and assenting to the Constitution; and then, in quick succession, Pennsylvania on December 12, after a bitter fight; New Jersey on December 18, and Georgia—Georgians had not even read the Constitution—on January 2, 1788. Connecticut followed a week later, with a comfortable vote of 128 to 40.}} {{smaller block|Then a month’s hiatus set in. Massachusetts did not become No. 6 until February 7, and her approval of this “explicit and solemn compact” was not unqualified:}} {{smaller block|“It is the opinion of this convention that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this commonwealth, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government.”}} {{smaller block|It will come as no surprise that the very first amendment recommended by Massachusetts was “that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States to be by them exercised.”}} {{smaller block|Two months later, on April 28, Maryland ratified. Then there was another lapse of nearly a month before South Carolina, on May 23, became No. 8; South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.” Then South Carolina added:}} {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} {{smaller block|New Hampshire, in voting its approval on June 21, closely paralleled the action of Massachusetts, but New Hampshire’s declaration as to reserved powers was even more explicit. The people of New Hampshire wanted it understood that all powers not “expressly and particularly delegated” were reserved.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield. Mr. LANGER. Was the action of the South Carolina convention unanimous? [Laughter.] Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall, from reading the history of that matter, whether it was unanimous or not. The action of the South Carolina convention was not unanimous when it acted on the question of adopting the resolution of ratification for the admission of South Carolina to the Union. South Carolina was the eighth State to be admitted to the Union. New Hampshire was the ninth. New Hampshire’s action resulted in the formation of the Union; ratification by nine States was required in order to form the Union. After that, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution and became members of the Union. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I am not sure whether the action by the South Carolina convention was unanimous or not. Mr. LANGER. I know the Senator from South Carolina, who has been a very distinguished governor of his State, is very well informed in regard to such matters. Mr. THURMOND. As stated in the book, The Sovereign States— {{smaller block|South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.”}} Then South Carolina added: {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} I construe that declaration to be part of the resolution of ratification, which was not adopted unanimously. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have been glad, Mr. President, to have the Senator from North Dakota ask these questions. Mr. President, a few years ago, when I was a young State senator, I made a commencement address in another county, about 40 miles from my home. The commencement was held in a long school building in which the acoustics were very bad. People in the rear could not hear, and looked as if they were going to sleep—and maybe they were. So I raised my voice, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that I am speaking for the future citizens of South Carolina.” By raising my voice, I woke up the people in the rear of the room; and one fellow rose up, shook his head, and said, “Well, brother, if you speak much longer, they will soon be here, too.” [Laughter.] Mr. President, I feel so good that I believe I could speak quite a long time. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I felt it my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort to emphasize the dangers of this bill. I began speaking at 8:50 last night. It is now 5 minutes after 9. I shall conclude my remarks in a very few minutes. Mr. President, in closing, I desire to remind the Senate that every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote; and the Federal Government has a statute which protects the right to vote. In my opinion, Mr. President, this bill is unconstitutional, for the reasons I have stated during this debate. This so-called compromise, which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives, permits a Federal judge to decide whether he will try one who is charged with criminal contempt, or whether he will permit him to be tried by a jury. The bill further provides a Federal judge with the discretionary power—if he does not try the person without a jury—to decide what punishment he will impose. If he imposes a fine greater than $300 or imprisonment for more than 45 days, the defendant can then demand a jury trial. That process could result in two trials in the case of a defendant charged with criminal contempt. I believe that would be unconstitutional. Under our system of jurisprudence, a man can never be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense. Furthermore, if a judge should find such a person guilty, as a result of the first trial, we can realize what effect that would have on the jury which would be used in the second trial. Mr. President, I should like to remind the Senate of the decision I have cited today, which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That decision says criminal contempt is a crime. The Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The Constitution makes no exceptions. The pending bill, which has come to the Senate from the House of Representatives, has now been amended in such a way that it could not conform to the Constitution. Mr. President, in spite of the great amount of debate and discussion which previously have taken place on the subject of House bill 6127, I felt that this bill was of such importance to the citizens of the United States that it was my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort again to emphasize the dangers of the bill. I have spoken several times on it before. Mr. President, I wish to say that my action was taken entirely on my own volition. I believe that every Senator must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in connection with such matters. I do not believe that the action of any other Senator should be judged according to the action I have taken. Mr. President, if I have helped to bring home to the American people, the citizens of this Nation, the heartfelt conviction which I hold, namely, that this bill is unwise, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, then I shall have done what I believe to be my duty. I should like to believe that some have been convinced by my arguments, and that my arguments have been accepted on the basis on which I intended them to be accepted—as arguments against what I am convinced is bad proposed legislation, proposed legislation which never should have been introduced, and which never should be approved by the Senate. Mr. President, I urge every Member of this body to consider this bill most carefully. I hope the Senate will see fit to kill it. I expect to vote against the bill. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to the officials of the Senate, to those who have come in to listen to this debate, to the various Senators who have listened to this debate from time to time; to the clerks and the attachés, and to all who did everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible during the 24 hours and 22 minutes I have spoken. Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for these courtesies, and again I want to thank the Presiding Officer and the others for their courtesies extended to me, and with this I now give up the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. SMATHERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the rollcall be rescinded.

Mr. President, earlier this morning we had scheduled speakers for the day, and attempted to estimate the number of speakers. In connection with the next speaker, we had estimated that we would reach him about 9 o’clock. We are running a little ahead of schedule. Therefore, there are no speakers available at this time. We do not desire to have a vote on the bill until every Senator has had an opportunity to express himself, and we do not wish to take advantage of any Senator, or inconvenience any Senator more than is necessary. Therefore I ask unanimous consent that the Senate stand in recess until 8:45 p. m. At 8:45 p. m. we will reconvene and I shall suggest the absence of a quorum. I assume that by 9 o’clock the speaker will be ready to proceed. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Texas?

Mr. President, I rise to speak against the so-called voting-right bill H. R. 6127, which bill was passed by the House of Representatives. It came to the Senate without being referred to a committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar, which is something unusual and out of ordinary procedure. The bill was then amended by the Senate and returned to the House, after which time the House amended it again by adopting what was called a compromise. The compromise as well as the bill is entirely unreasonable, and I hope that the Senate will not pass the bill. There are mainly three reasons why I feel the bill should not be passed. The first is that it is unnecessary. {{c|{{asc|STATE LEGISLATION PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS}}}} Every State has enacted some legislation making it unlawful to intimidate a voter or to hinder him in the exercising of his voting rights. Penalties have been provided for such violations. I now expect to take up the voting laws in each of the 48 States and show that each of the States affords adequate protection to the voting right. The first is Alabama. Alabama: Unless otherwise designated, references are to the code, 1940, title 17: {{smaller block|Intimidating or hindering voter: It Is a corrupt practice for any person on election day to intimidate an elector or an election officer, or to obstruct, hinder, or prevent or to attempt to obstruct, hinder, or prevent the forming of lines of the voters awaiting their turn to enter the election booths (sec. 285).

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Clark}} in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Chair cannot hear the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have read the election laws of every State in the Union, from Alabama to Wyoming, showing that the States now have, on their statute books and in their constitutions, provisions to protect the right to vote. The accuracy of the statutes which I have just recited is confirmed by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress. No one can say that any State, from Alabama through Wyoming, does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. The bill before the Senate is called a right-to-vote bill. Why is it called that? Every State has statutes to protect the right to vote. The sovereign States are protecting their citizens in the right to vote. Yet there is a big cry and a big hue about a voting law. As a matter of fact, the only thing that instigated this bill was the desire of both parties, the Democratic and the Republican, to play to minority votes. That is the purpose of the bill. It is purely political. Why do we need a Federal law when every State has a statute to protect the right to vote? And who is in a better position to protect the right to vote than the officials of the States? Suppose the voting laws of all the States were abrogated and violated. Does the Federal Government have a police system which would enable it to send officials into every State to police the election laws of every State? If so, it would change our entire conception of the Government of this Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written in 1789, in Philadelphia. It was ratified by nine Colonies which made them States and created the Union; 2 years later the Bill of Rights was adopted; and in the 10th amendment, which is a part of the Bill of Rights, it is provided that all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. There is nothing in the Constitution that delegates those powers to the Federal Government. Therefore, those rights are reserved to the States, and it is unlawful and unconstitutional for Congress to attempt to pass a law that will set up an administration which will attempt to bring about a policing of all the elections in all the 48 States of this Nation. Some persons say, “Well, the States won’t enforce the voting laws. We have got to have a Federal law. Some States deny the vote to citizens.” I question that. Has there been a single instance brought before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United States and proof presented that anyone has been denied the vote? From my understanding, and from the minority report which was submitted by some members of the Judiciary Committee, that has not been the case. So why does the Federal Government want to enter a field into which it has no constitutional authority to enter? As a matter of fact, the Federal Government already has a statute, I say to those who say the States are not protecting the right to vote. I am wondering if the Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives have overlooked the Federal statute. I shall read that statute, so that Senators can know that we now have a Federal statute to protect the right to vote. I shall read several provisions. The last one is the most applicable, and one on which I shall comment a little more, but I want to start with chapter 29 of title 18 of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. That is the United States Code, Criminal Code, and Criminal Procedure. Chapter 29 is entitled “Elections and Political Activities.” Section 591 reads: {{smaller block|Definitions: When used in sections 597, 599, 602, 609, and 610 of this title— The term “election” includes a general or special election, but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party.}} But under a decision of the Supreme Court, in a case which went up from my own State of South Carolina, it was held that the primary election was a part of the election machinery; and the decision was rendered on that subject. {{smaller block|The term “candidate” means an individual whose name is presented for election as Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress of the United States, whether or not such individual is elected; The term “political committee” includes any committee, association, or organization which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the election of candidates or presidential and vice presidential electors (1) in two or more States, or (2) whether or not in more than one State if such committee, association, or organization (other than a duly organized State or local committee of a political party) is a branch or subsidiary of a national committee, association, or organization; The term “contribution” includes a gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make a contribution, whether or not legally enforceable; The term “expenditure” includes a payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make an expenditure, whether or not legally enforceable; The term “person” or the term “whoever” includes an individual, partnership, committee, association, corporation, and any other organization or group of persons; The term “State” includes Territory and possession of the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719; May 24, 1949, ch. 139, sec. 9, 63 Stat. 90.) {{sc|Sec.}} 592. Troops at polls. Whoever, being an officer of the Army or Navy, or other person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, orders, brings, keeps, or has under his authority or control any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both; and be disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States. This section shall not prevent any officer or member of the Armed Forces of the United States from exercising the right of suffrage in any election district to which he may belong, if otherwise qualified according to the laws of the State in which he offers to vote. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.) {{sc|Sec.}} 593. Interference by Armed Forces. Whoever, being an officer or member of the Armed Forces of the United States, prescribes or fixes or attempts to prescribe or fix, whether by proclamation, order, or otherwise, the qualifications of voters at any election in any State; or Whoever, being such officer or member, prevents, or attempts to prevent, by force, threat, intimidation, advice, or otherwise any qualified voter of any State from fully exercising the right of suffrage at any general or special election; or {{smaller block|Whoever, being such officer or member, orders or compels or attempts to compel any election officer in any State to receive a vote from a person not legally qualified to vote; or Whoever, being such officer or member, imposes, or attempts to impose, any regulations for conducting any general or special election in a State, different from those prescribed by law; or Whoever, being such officer or member, interferes in any manner with an election officer’s discharge of his duties— Shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both; and disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States. This section shall not prevent any officer or member of the Armed Forces from exercising the right of suffrage in any district to which he may belong, if otherwise qualified according to the laws of the State of such district. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.)}} I shall now comment on section 594, which is entitled “Intimidation of Voters.” I cannot help but believe that Members of Congress in some way must have overlooked this statute, if they believe a Federal statute is essential on this subject, which I do not. This is the way the section reads: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 594. Intimidation of voters. Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} Mr. President, I do not think this statute is constitutional, in section 594, because I think the question is a matter reserved to the States. Since evidently there were people who thought the Federal Government did need to enter this field and who must have felt that it would not be unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enter it, this section was adopted. This section provides, as I have just read, for the punishment of anyone who attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. What is the purpose of the bill now under consideration, H. R. 6127? It is called the right-to-vote bill. The Federal statute here, in section 594 of title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, is just as plain on the subject as it can be. There is the Federal statute on the question of voting. I do not like it, because I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field, but we have the statute, in section 594. If there has been any violation of voting rights in this country, if there has been a single case of any person who claims that he has been intimidated or threatened or coerced to vote, the Federal Government has the power, under that statute, to punish anyone if he is convicted for such offense. Either this statute has not been enforced, if there have been violations, or else there have been no violations. So when the Federal Government asks that another voting law be passed, such as House bill 6127, it is admitting 1 of 2 things: Either there have been no violations of the rights of people to vote, or the Justice Department is not enforcing the law on this subject. I do not see what good it would do to enact another statute. What good would another statute do, if we have a statute already on the books? I have heard of no cases brought under this statute. There must not have been any violations. If there have been violations, the Federal Government has failed to prosecute violators, which it could do under this law. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 595. Interference by administrative employees of Federal, State, or Territorial governments. Whoever, being a person employed in any administrative position by the United States, or by any department or agency thereof, or by the District of Columbia, or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or by any State, Territory, or possession of the United States, or any political subdivision, municipality, or agency thereof, or agency of such political subdivision or municipality (including any corporation owned or controlled by any State, Territory, or possession of the United States or by any such political subdivision, municipality, or agency), in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, uses his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner from any Territory or possession, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. This section shall not prohibit or make unlawful any act by any officer or employee of any educational or research institution, establishment, agency, or system which is supported in whole or in part by any State or political subdivision thereof, or by the District of Columbia or by any Territory or possession of the United States; or by any recognized religious, philanthropic, or cultural organization.

In other words, under this statute, the Federal Government, through the Justice Department, can prosecute any person who intimidates, threatens, or coerces another person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. If we have that kind of law on the books now, why do we need another law? As I stated a few moments ago, I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field. But they have entered this field, and laws on the subject have been enacted. Section 594 gives the Federal Government all the authority it needs to protect the right to vote in any State of this Nation. Section 594 makes provision for specific punishment if anyone violates the section and attempts to deny the right to vote, or threatens, intimidates, or coerces one in his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. So with every State in the Nation having laws on the subject to protect the right to vote, and with the Federal Government having laws on this subject to protect the right to vote, why do we need to pass another bill, another bill which is unconstitutional, another bill which violates the Constitution of the United States? I will come to that later on in my address. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. I am going to take up after a while a decision which shows that criminal contempt is a crime, and if criminal contempt is a crime, then it falls within the category of the provision of the Constitution of the United States which says that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It does not specify by degree. If he is entitled to a jury trial, he is entitled to it. The Senate passed a bill with an amendment providing for jury trial. The bill went back to the House, the House amended it, and added a provision that the judge in his discretion could try the case if the punishment was not over 45 days or a fine of $300. That is not what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not provide that a man is entitled to a jury trial under certain conditions, if the House had fixed the fine at $1 instead of $300 and denied a man the right of a trial by jury, in my opinion it still would have been unconstitutional. I shall develop that more as my address goes on. Mr. President, I shall now take up specific points of the proposed compromise on the jury trial provisions of H. R. 6127, so as to point out the lack of constitutionality of the provisions in connection with contempt of court proceedings. A so-called compromise has been reached among advocates of civil-rights legislation—H. R. 6127—whereby a jury trial would be given in certain criminal contempts of Federal courts. The purpose of this speech is to point out the objectionable features of the proposed compromise and to show conclusively that it is unconstitutional. The proposed jury-trial amendment, being part V of H. R. 6127, reads as follows: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|PART V—TO PROVIDE TRIAL BY JURY FOR PROCEEDINGS TO PUNISH CRIMINAL CONTEMPTS OF COURT ARISING OUT OF CIVIL-RIGHTS CASES AND TO AMEND THE JUDICIAL CODE RELATING TO FEDERAL JURY QUALIFICATIONS}}}} {{sc|Sec.}} 151. In all cases of criminal contempt arising under the provisions of this act, the accused, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both: ''Provided, however'', That in case the accused is a natural person the fine to be paid shall not exceed the sum of $1,000, nor shall imprisonment exceed the term of 6 months: ''Provided further'', That in any such proceeding for criminal contempt, at the discretion of the judge, the accused may be tried with or without a jury: ''Provided further, however'', That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of the $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury, which shall conform as near as may be to the practice in other criminal cases. This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders, or process of the court. Nor shall anything herein or in any other provision of law be construed to deprive courts of their power, by civil contempt proceedings, without a jury, to secure compliance with or to prevent obstruction of, as distinguished from punishment for violations of, any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of the court in accordance with the prevailing usages of law and equity, including the power of detention. {{sc|Sec.}} 152. Section 1861, title 28, of the United States Code is hereby amended to read as follows: “1861. Qualifications of Federal jurors. “Any citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years and who has resided for a period of 1 year within the judicial district, is competent to serve as a grand or petit juror unless: “(1) He has been convicted in a State or Federal court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty. “(2) He is unable to read, write, speak, and understand the English language. “(3) He is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmities, to render efficient jury service.”}} Mr. President, those are the provisions of the so-called compromise. I wish to have all other Members of the Senate and all other citizens of these United States know just what the compromise provides. First, Mr. President, this amendment is clearly unconstitutional because of vagueness. It is an established principle of constitutional law that crimes must be clearly defined. If this amendment were enacted, persons charged with contempt would be deprived of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th amendment to the Federal Constitution. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under a statute by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. This point is clearly brought out in Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, in the second edition, third volume, at page 1727. Here is what this great authority on the Constitution has to say on this point: {{smaller block|1142. Crimes must be clearly defined. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under statutes by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. “A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.” ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' (269 U. S. 385).}} The first sentence of the proposed amendment—section 151—refers to criminal contempt and provides for punishment upon conviction. The first ''proviso'' of the first sentence refers to natural persons; and for such natural persons, the fine is limited to $1,000 or—in the alternative—imprisonment is limited to 6 months. This first ''proviso'' is obviously drafted to bring the offense within the present definition of “misdemeanor,” as classified by the Congress in the adoption of title 18 of the United States Code on June 25, 1948. Section 1 of title 18, United States Code, classifies offenses against the United States as follows: {{smaller block|1. Offenses classified: Notwithstanding any act of Congress to the contrary: (1) Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year is a felony. (2) Any other offense is a misdemeanor. (3) Any misdemeanor, the penalty for which does not exceed imprisonment for a period of 6 months or a fine of not more than $500, or both, is a petty offense.}} The second ''proviso'' of the first sentence still refers to criminal contempt, and vests in the Federal district judge the discretion to determine whether the person accused of contempt is to be tried with or without a jury. The third proviso of the first sentence, still referring only to criminal contempts, says that where the district judge proceeds summarily—without benefit of a jury—to convict the accused and fine him or her for more than $300 or imprison him or her for more than 45 days, then the person so convicted—fined or imprisoned—may demand a trial ''de novo''. It is assumed that trial ''de novo'' contemplates a trial anew of the entire controversy, including the hearing of evidence, as though no previous action had been taken. In ''Pittsburgh S. S. Co.'' v. ''Brown'' ((1948 Ct. App. Ill.) 171 Fed. 2d. 175, 177), “trial ''de novo''” is defined as an entirely new trial, but that was a civil case. The term “trial ''de novo''” nowhere appears in criminal cases referred to in volume 42 A, Words and Phrases, 1952 edition or 1957 supplement. The second sentence of the amendment, without any reference to “criminal contempt” or without defining or differentiating between “criminal contempt” and “civil contempt,” proceeds to make the provisions of the first sentence inapplicable to those contempts “committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice” and likewise inapplicable to “misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.” In other words, this second sentence deals with certain “contempts” and with “misbehavior of any officers of the court” and excludes such “contempts” and “misbehavior of any officer of the court” from the provisions of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. In other words, the second sentence says that if any contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice, it is not dealt with in the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. Likewise excluded from coverage by the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127—would be “the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court” in respect to any writ, order, or process of court issued presumably under authority of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. The last sentence of the amendment—section 151—simply tries to restate the proposition now appearing in section 401 of title 18, United States Code, that a court of the United States has power to punish contempts of its authority. However, in restating that proposition, this last sentence refers to “civil contempts,” whereas section 401 refers to “contempt of its”—the court’s—“authority.” Thus we see the last sentence of the amendment, section 151, refers to “civil contempt,” as distinguished from the first sentence, which deals with “criminal contempt.” Nowhere in the amendment is any definition given of either “criminal contempt” or “civil contempt;” nor has Congress ever attempted to draw any such distinction. The sole provision attempting to draw a distinction between criminal and civil contempt is contained in rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in the requirement that the notice with respect to a criminal contempt shall describe it as such. The Advisory Committee on Rules, appointed by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the act of June 29, 1940—Fifty-fourth United States Statutes at Large, page 686—to assist in the preparation of rules of pleading, in their notes indicate that the requirement of notice written into rule 42 (b) was “intended to obviate the frequent confusion between criminal and civil contempt proceedings” pursuant to the suggestion made in ''McCann'' v. ''New York Stock Exchange'' ((2d Cir., 1935) 80 F. 2d 211). See Civil and Criminal Contempt in the Federal Courts, report of Los Angeles Bar Association, 17 Federal Rules Decisions 167–182—1955. The Supreme Court itself has belabored the distinction between civil and criminal contempts. For the Court’s distinction see ''Bessette'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' ((1904) 194 U.S. 324, 328). A contempt statute certainly comes within the due process of law requirements of the Constitution. To substantiate this point, I refer again to Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, page 1727, section 1141. In this section Willoughby points out that a contempt which is not committed in open court does require due process of law for the defendant. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, held on April 13, 1925, that all the guaranties of due process of law are available to a person charged with contempt. ''Cooke'' v. ''United States'' ((1925) 267 U.S. 517.) Thus it is quite clear that the amendment—section 151—as now drafted, would subject a person to criminal prosecution for a statutory offense so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable him to determine whether or not he is committing that offense. ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' ((1926) 269 U. S. 385); ''International Harvester Co.'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 216); ''Collins'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 634). Second. This amendment is unconstitutional, in violation of the fifth amendment prohibiting double jeopardy. That provision of the amendment which permits the accused to be tried a second time by a jury for the same offense following conviction in a summary proceeding violates the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” In ''ex parte'' Grossman the Supreme Court stated that contempt is an “offense” within the meaning of the pardoning power of the President granted in article II, section 2, clause 1 of the enumerated powers of the President. Clause 1 declares the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons of offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Chief Justice Taft in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1925) 267 U. S. 87, 107) quoting ''Myers'' v. ''United States'' ((1924) 264 U. S. 95, 104–105). If contempt is an offense when it comes to the pardoning power of the President, it certainly is an offense under the fifth amendment. Thus reading the language of the amendment—section 151—''in pari materia'' with the decisions in ''ex parte'' Grossman and ''Myers'' against ''United States'', for the Congress to grant a second trial following conviction, with the same defendant, the same charges, and the same evidence, would place the defendant in double jeopardy. The proposal—section 151—even if it were not in violation of the fifth amendment, would place Congress in the position of gambling with the rights of our citizens. Suppose a judge tries a man or woman and finds the person guilty. The press reports this fact to the public and such cases are bound to stir the public interest. The person so convicted is then tried again on the same evidence. Any jury is bound to be influenced. In addition, what basis or standard of conduct is to be the determining factor as to whether the judge imposes the lesser fine or sentence and lets his verdict stand or imposes the greater fine or punishment and moves the case along to a jury trial. There would be no uniformity in the application of the proposed statute—section 151—and the entire procedure would be awkward, cumbersome, and impracticable. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', a note is made of an interruption in Mr. Thurmond’s speech, regarding the results of a special election for a Senator, upon which several pages of the ''Record'' are used to record the reading of documents and the discussion of matters relevant thereto. As this is not a constituent portion of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, it is absent from this record. However, following this notice, several other parliamentary procedures are maintained, and other matters are dealt with; the ''Record'' then replaces the remainder of Mr. Thurmond’s speech to the records of the succeeding day, beginning on p. 16383. This record begins again from this section.'' Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I now wish to take up Chief Justice Taft’s opinion on jury trials in contempt cases. Considerable has been said about what Chief Justice Taft said concerning contempt and jury trials. Chief Justice Taft was at one time President of the United States, and he was Chief Justice of the United States. He was a great man and a great American. His opinions are highly revered, but some of his opinions have been quoted out of context or when not applicable. I wish to take up at this time his opinions on jury trials in contempt cases. On June 5, 1957, at his White House press conference, President Eisenhower, in answer to a question asked by the National Negro Press Association as to how he stood on the jury-trial amendment to the so-called civil-rights bill, quoted President Taft, as being opposed to a jury trial in contempt cases. President Eisenhower stated that Mr. Taft made this statement when he was President in 1908 and there is no evidence that he ever changed his mind. In the first place the statement was not made by Mr. Taft while President. The statement was made by Mr. Taft in a political speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 28, 1908, in acceptance of the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Taft at the time was Secretary of War. He did not become President until March 4, 1909. In this political speech Mr. Taft also said a trial by jury in contempt cases was never known in the history of the jurisprudence of England, or America, except in the constitution of Oklahoma. See Presidential Addresses and Papers, William H. Taft, 1910 ed., page 26. Also in this speech Mr. Taft said the popular impression that a judge, in punishing for contempt of his own order, may be affected by a personal feeling was unfounded. Did Mr. Taft change his mind when he became Chief Justice? He most assuredly did. He not only changed his mind on the subject of whether jury trials were had at common law in contempt cases but also changed his mind about judges having personal vindictiveness in contempt orders. While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Taft delivered the opinion in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1924) 267 U. S. 87) and cited eight cases at common law to show that in England a jury trial was had in contempt cases. This decision was rendered by him in upholding a pardon granted by President Hoover to a man imprisoned by a United States district judge in Illinois for contempt in a summary proceeding. Chief Justice Taft declared at page 118 of volume 267, United States Reports: {{smaller block|The King of England before our Revolution, in the exercise of his prerogative, had always exercised the power to pardon contempts of court, just as he did ordinary crimes and misdemeanors and as he has done to the present day. In the mind of a common-law lawyer of the 18th century the word pardon included within its scope the ending by the King’s grace of the punishment of such derelictions, whether it was imposed by the court without a jury or upon indictment, for both forms of trial for contempts were had. ''Thomas of Chartham'' v. ''Benet of Stamford'' ((1313), 24 Selden Society, 185); ''Fulwood'' v. ''Fulwood'' ((1585), Toothill, 46); ''Rex'' v. ''Buckenham'' ((1665), 1 Deble 751, 707, 852); Anonymous (1674), Cases in Chancery (238); ''King and Codrington'' v. ''Rodmap'' ((1630), Cr. Car. 198); ''Bartram'' v. ''Dannett'' ((1676), Finch, 253); ''Phipps'' v. ''Earl of Angelsea'' ((1721), 1 Peere Williams, 696).}} In all probability Mr. Taft was induced to recognize the fact that jury trials were customarily had at common law in contempts as a result of research conducted by the distinguished historian of English law, Mr. W. S. Holdsworth. The efforts of this great historian were first made public in 1909 after Mr. Taft had made his earlier statement. Mr. Holdsworth declared that the only cases in which contempts were punished summarily was where the contemnor confessed his guilt. If he did not confess the accused was tried by the ordinary course of law which meant trial by jury. To quote Mr. Holdsworth: {{smaller block|A History of English Law, volume III., pages 392–393. * * * But all through the medieval period, and long afterwards, the courts, though they might attack persons who were guilty of contempts of court, could not punish them summarily. Unless they confessed their guilt, they must be regularly indicted and convicted. Mr. Fox has given a list of 40 cases of various contempts—insults to the judges, an assault on the attorney general, beating jurors, striking a witness, trampling on a writ of prohibition—in all of which the offender was tried by the ordinary course of law. That this was the correct course to pursue was stated by Anderson, C. J., in 1599.}} In another opinion while Chief Justice Mr. Taft changed his mind about the immunity of Federal judges from vindictiveness in issuing contempt orders. On November 19, 1923, in a concurring opinion in ''Craig'' v. ''Hecht'' (263 U. S. 255 at p. 279), the Chief Justice said: {{smaller block|The delicacy there is in the judge’s deciding whether an attack upon his own judicial action is mere criticism or real obstruction, and the possibility that impulse may incline his view to personal vindication, are manifest. But the law gives the person convicted of contempt in such a case the right to have the whole question on facts and law reviewed by three judges of the circuit court of appeals who have had no part in the proceedings, and if not successful in that court, to apply to this Court for an opportunity for a similar review here.}} Mr. President, on June 10, 1957, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of [[Reid v. Covert (354 U.S. 1)|''Reid'' against ''Covert'']]. Since this opinion deals with the question “the right of trial by jury,” I think it is advisable for the Senate to consider this decision of the Supreme Court. I shall read a number of pages from the opinion and a concurring opinion by Justice Frankfurter. Some of the material in this opinion necessarily discusses the background of the cases. However, I believe it appropriate to read this material because it is necessary to a full understanding of this decision which upheld the constitutional right of trial by jury which H. R. 6127 would deny under certain conditions. I read from the opinion of the Court: {{smaller block|SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.'' CLARICE B. COVERT; NINA KINSELLA, WARDEN OF THE FEDERAL REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN, ALDERSON, WEST VIRGINIA, PETITIONER, ''v.'' WALTER KRUEGER, ON REHEARING, JUNE 10, 1957 Mr. Justice Black announced the judgment of the Court and delivered an opinion, in which the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan join. These cases raise basic constitutional issues of the utmost concern. They call into question the role of the military under our system of government. They involve the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States thereby depriving them of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. These cases are particularly significant because for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution wives of soldiers have been denied trial by jury in a court of law and forced to trial before courts-martial. In No. 701 Mrs. Clarice Covert killed her husband, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, at an airbase in England. Mrs. Covert, who was not a member of the armed services, was residing on the base with her husband at the time. She was tried by a court-martial for murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The trial was on charges preferred by Air Force personnel and the court-martial was composed of Air Force officers. The court-martial asserted jurisdiction over Mrs. Covert under Article 2 (11) of the UCMJ, which provides: “The following persons are subject to this code: “(11) Subject to the provisions of any treaty or agreement to which the United States is or may be a party or to any accepted rule of international law, all persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces without the continental limits of the United States.” Counsel for Mrs. Covert contended that she was insane at the time she killed her husband, but the military tribunal found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed by the Air Force Board of Reviews (16 CMR 465) but was reversed by the Court of Military Appeals (6 USCMA 48), because of prejudicial errors concerning the defense of insanity. While Mrs. Covert was being held in this country pending a proposed retrial by court-martial in the District of Columbia, her counsel petitioned the district court for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to set her free on the ground that the Constitution forbade her trial by military authorities. Construing this court’s decision in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), as holding that “a civilian is entitled to a civilian trial,” the district court held that Mrs. Covert could not be tried by court-martial and ordered her released from custody. The Government appealed directly to this court under, title 28, United States Code, section 1252. See Three Hundred and Fiftieth United States Reports, page 985. In No. 713 Mrs. Dorothy Smith killed her husband, an Army officer, at a post in Japan where she was living with him. She was tried for murder by a court-martial and despite considerable evidence that she was insane was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The judgment was approved by the Army Board of Review (10 CMR 350, 13 CMR 307), and the Court of Military Appeals (5 USCMA 314). Mrs. Smith was then confined in a Federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Her father, respondent here, filed a petition for ''habeas corpus'' in a district court for West Virginia. The petition charged that the court-martial was without jurisdiction because article 2 (11) of the UCMJ was unconstitutional insofar as it authorized the trial of civilian dependents accompanying servicemen overseas. The district court refused to issue the writ (137 F. Supp. 806), and while an appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit we granted ''certiorari'' at the request of the Government (350 U. S. 986). The two cases were consolidated and argued last term and a majority of the Court, with 3 Justices dissenting and 1 reserving opinion, held that military trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert for their alleged offenses was constitutional. Three hundred and fifty-first United States Reports, page 470, 487. The majority held that the provisions of article III and the fifth and sixth amendments which require that crimes be tried by a jury after indictment by a grand jury did not protect an American citizen when he was tried by the American Government in foreign lands for offenses committed there and that Congress could provide for the trial of such offenses in any manner it saw fit so long as the procedures established were reasonable and consonant with due process. The opinion then went on to express the view that military trials, as now practiced, were not unreasonable or arbitrary when applied to dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces overseas. In reaching their conclusion the majority found it unnecessary to consider the power of Congress “to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces” under article I of the Constitution. Subsequently, the Court granted a petition for rehearing. Three Hundred and Fifty-second United States Reports, page 901. Now, after further argument and consideration, we conclude that the previous decisions cannot be permitted to stand. We hold that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert could not constitutionally be tried by military authorities. {{c|{{asc|I}}}} At the beginning we reject the idea that when the United States acts against citizens abroad it can do so free of the Bill of Rights. The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution. When the Government reaches out to punish a citizen who is abroad, the shield which the Bill of Rights and other parts of the Constitution provide to protect his life and liberty should not be stripped away just because he happens to be in another land. This is not a novel concept. To the contrary, it is as old as government. It was recognized long before Paul successfully invoked his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in strict accordance with Roman law. And many centuries later an English historian wrote: “In a settled colony the inhabitants have all the rights of Englishmen. They take with them, in the first place, that which no Englishman can by expatriation put off, namely, allegiance to the Crown, the duty of obedience to the lawful commands of the Sovereign, and obedience to the laws which Parliament may think proper to make with reference to such a colony. But, on the other hand, they take with them all the rights and liberties of British subjects; all the rights and liberties as against the prerogative of the Crown, which they would enjoy in this county.” The rights and liberties which citizens of our country enjoy are not protected by custom and tradition alone, they have been jealously preserved from the encroachments of Government by express provisions of our written Constitution. Among those provisions, article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments are directly relevant to these cases. Article III, section 2, lays down the rule that— “The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” The fifth amendment declares: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.” And the sixth amendment provides: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.” The language of article III, section 2, manifests that constitutional protections for the individual were designed to restrict the United States Government when it acts outside of this country, as well as here at home. After declaring that all criminal trials must be by jury, the section states that when a crime is “not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” If this language is permitted to have its obvious meaning, section 2 is applicable to criminal trials outside of the States as a group without regard to where the offense is committed or the trial held. From the very first Congress, Federal statutes have implemented the provisions of section 2 by providing for trial of murder and other crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of any State “in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may first be brought.” The fifth and sixth amendments, like article III, section 2, are also all inclusive with their sweeping references to “no person” and to “all criminal prosecutions.” This Court and other Federal courts have held or asserted that various constitutional limitations apply to the Government when it acts outside the continental United States. While it has been suggested that only those constitutional rights which are “fundamental” protect Americans abroad, we can find no warrant, in logic or otherwise, for picking and choosing among the remarkable collection of “Thou shalt nots” which were explicitly fastened on all departments and agencies of the Federal Government by the Constitution and its amendments. Moreover, in view of our heritage and the history of the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it seems peculiarly anomalous to say that trial before a civilian judge and by an independent jury picked from the common citizenry are not fundamental rights. As Blackstone wrote in his Commentaries: “The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * [I]t is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals.” Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. The keystone of supporting authorities mustered by the Court’s opinion last June to justify its holding that article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments did not apply abroad was ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). The Ross case is one of those cases that cannot be understood except in its peculiar setting; even then, it seems highly unlikely that a similar result would be reached to-day. Ross was serving as a seaman on an American ship in Japanese waters. He killed a ship’s officer, was seized and tried before a consular court in Japan. At that time, statutes authorized American consuls to try American citizens charged with committing crimes in Japan and certain other non-Christian countries. These statutes provided that the laws of the United States were to govern the trial except: “Where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” The consular power approved in the Ross case was about as extreme and absolute as that of the potentates of the non-Christian countries to which the statutes applied. Under these statutes consuls could and did make the criminal laws, initiate charges, arrest alleged offenders, try them, and after conviction take away their liberty or their life—sometimes at the American consulate. Such a blending of executive, legislative, and judicial powers in one person or even in one branch of the Government is ordinarily regarded as the very acme of absolutism. Nevertheless, the Court sustained Ross’ conviction by the consul. It stated that constitutional protections applied “only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad.” Despite the fact that it upheld Ross’ conviction under United States laws passed pursuant to asserted constitutional authority, the Court went on to make a sweeping declaration that “[t]he Constitution can have no operation in another country.” The Ross approach that the Constitution has no applicability abroad has long since been directly repudiated by numerous cases. That approach is obviously erroneous if the United States Government, which has no power except that granted by the Constitution, can and does try citizens for crimes committed abroad. Thus the Ross case rested, at least in substantial part, on a fundamental misconception and the most that can be said in support of the result reached there is that the consular court jurisdiction had a long history antedating the adoption of the Constitution. The Congress has recently buried the consular system of trying Americans. We are not willing to jeopardize the lives and liberties of Americans by disinterring it. At best, the Ross case should be left as a relic from a different era. The Court’s opinion last term also relied on the Insular Cases to support its conclusion that article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments were not applicable to the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. We believe that reliance was misplaced. The Insular Cases can be distinguished from the present cases in that they involved the power of Congress to provide rules and regulations to govern temporarily territories with wholly dissimilar traditions and institutions whereas here the basis for governmental power is American citizenship. None of these cases had anything to do with military trials and they cannot properly be used as vehicles to support an extension of military jurisdiction to civilians. Moreover, it is our judgment that neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our Government. If our foreign commitments become of such nature that the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority, or inclination, to read exceptions into it which are not there. {{c|{{asc|II}}}} At the time of Mrs. Covert’s alleged offense, an executive agreement was in effect between the United States and Great Britain which permitted United States military courts to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over offenses committed in Great Britain by American servicemen or their dependents. For its part, the United States agreed that these military courts would be willing and able to try and to punish all offenses against the laws of Great Britain by such persons. In all material respects, the same situation existed in Japan when Mrs. Smith killed her husband. Even though a court-martial does not give an accused trial by jury and other Bill of Rights protections, the Government contends that section 2(11) of the UCMJ, insofar as it authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces in Great Britain and Japan, can be sustained as legislation which is necessary and proper to carry out the United States obligations under the international agreements made with those countries. The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution. Article VI., the supremacy clause of the Constitution, declares: “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.” There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in article VI. make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in pursuance of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe article VI. as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and the Senate combined. There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. For example, in ''Geofroy'' v. ''Riggs'' (133 U. S. 258, 267), it declared: “The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the Government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the Government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.” This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument. There is nothing in ''Missouri'' v. ''Holland'' (252 U. S. 416), which is contrary to the position taken here. There the Court carefully noted that the treaty involved was not inconsistent with any specific provision of the Constitution. The Court was concerned with the 10th amendment which reserves to the States or the people all power not delegated to the National Government. To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their power to the National Government and the 10th amendment is no barrier. In summary, we conclude that the Constitution in its entirety applied to the trials of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. Since their court-martial did not meet the requirements of article III., section 2, or the fifth and sixth amendments, we are compelled to determine if there is anything within the Constitution which authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces overseas. {{c|{{asc|III}}}} Article I., section 8, clause 14, empowers Congress “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” It has been held that this creates an exception to the normal method of trial in civilian courts as provided by the Constitution and permits Congress to authorize military trial of members of the armed services without all the safeguards given an accused by article III. and the Bill of Rights. But if the language of clause 14 is given its natural meaning, the power granted does not extend to civilians—even though they may be dependents living with servicemen on a military base. The term “land and naval forces” refers to persons who are members of the armed services and not to their civilian wives, children, and other dependents. It seems inconceivable that Mrs. Covert or Mrs. Smith could have been tried by military authorities as members of the land and naval forces had they been living on a military post in this country. Yet this constitutional term surely has the same meaning everywhere. The wives of servicemen are no more members of the land and naval forces when living at a military post in England or Japan than when living at a base in this country or in Hawaii or Alaska. The Government argues that the necessary and proper clause, when taken in conjunction with clause 14, allows Congress to authorize the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert by military tribunals and under military law. The Government claims that the two clauses together constitute a broad grant of power without limitation authorizing Congress to subject all persons, civilians and soldiers alike, to military trial if necessary and proper to govern and regulate the land and naval forces. It was on a similar theory that Congress once went to the extreme of subjecting persons who made contracts with the military to court-martial jurisdiction with respect to frauds related to such contracts. In the only judicial test a Circuit Court held that the legislation was patently unconstitutional. ''Ex parte'' Henderson (11 Fed. Cas. 1067, No. 6349). It is true that the Constitution expressly grants Congress power to make all rules necessary and proper to govern and regulate those persons who are serving in the land and naval forces. But the necessary and proper clause cannot operate to extend military jurisdiction to any group of persons beyond that class described in clause 14—“the land and naval forces.” Under the grand design of the Constitution civilian courts are the normal repositories of power to try persons charged with crimes against the United States. And to protect persons brought before these courts, article III. and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments establish the right to trial by jury, by indictment by a grand jury, and a number of other specific safeguards. By way of contrast the jurisdiction of military tribunals is a very limited and extraordinary jurisdiction derived from the cryptic language in article I., section 8, and, at most, was intended to be only a narrow exception to the normal and preferred method of trial in courts of law. Every extension of military jurisdiction is an encroachment on the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and, more important, acts as a deprivation of the right to jury trial and of other treasured constitutional protections. Having run up against the steadfast bulwark of the Bill of Rights, the necessary and proper clause cannot extend the scope of clause 14. Nothing said here contravenes the rule laid down in ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, at 421), that: “Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.” In McCulloch this Court was confronted with the problem of determining the scope of the necessary and proper clause in a situation where no specific restraints on governmental power stood in the way. Here the problem is different. Not only does clause 14, by its terms, limit military jurisdiction to members of the land and naval forces, but article III., section 2 and the fifth and sixth amendments require that certain express safeguards, which were designed to protect persons from oppressive governmental practices, shall be given in criminal prosecutions—safeguards which cannot be given in a military trial. In the light of these as well as other constitutional provisions, and the historical background in which they were formed, military trial of civilians is inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the constitution. Further light is reflected on the scope of clause 14 by the fifth amendment. That amendment which was adopted shortly after the Constitution reads: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.” Since the exception in this amendment for cases arising in the land or naval forces was undoubtedly designed to correlate with the power granted Congress to provide for the government and regulation of the armed services, it is a persuasive and reliable indication that the authority conferred by clause 14 does not encompass persons who cannot fairly be said to be in the military service. Even if it were possible, we need not attempt here to precisely define the boundary between civilians and members of the land and naval forces. We recognize that there might be circumstances where a person could be in the armed services for purposes of clause 14 even though he had not formally been inducted into the military or did not wear a uniform. But the wives, children, and other dependents of servicemen cannot be placed in that category, even though they may be accompanying a serviceman abroad at Government expense and receiving other benefits from the Government. We have no difficulty in saying that such persons do not lose their civilian status and their right to a civilian trial because the Government helps them live as members of a soldier’s family. The tradition of keeping the military subordinate to civilian authority may not be so strong in the minds of this generation as it was in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. The idea that the relatives of soldiers could be denied a jury trial in a court of law and instead be tried by courts-martial under the guise of regulating the Armed Forces would have seemed incredible to those men, in whose lifetime the right of the military to try soldiers for any offenses in time of peace had only been grudgingly conceded. The founders envisioned the Army as a necessary institution, but one dangerous to liberty if not confined within its essential bounds. Their fears were rooted in history. They knew that ancient republics had been overthrown by their military leaders. They were familiar with the history of 17th century England, where Charles I. tried to govern through the army and without Parliament. During this attempt, contrary to the common law, he used courts-martial to try soldiers for certain nonmilitary offenses. This court-martialing of soldiers in peacetime evoked strong protests from Parliament. The reign of Charles I. was followed by the rigorous military rule of Oliver Cromwell. Later, James II. used the army in his fight against Parliament and the people. He promulgated articles of war (strangely enough relied on in the Government’s brief) authorizing the trial of soldiers for nonmilitary Crimes by courts-martial. This action hastened the revolution that brought William and Mary to the throne upon their agreement to abide by a bill of rights which, among other things, protected the right of trial by jury. It was against this general background that two of the greatest English jurists, Lord Chief Justice Hale and Sir William Blackstone—men who exerted considerable influence on the founders—expressed sharp hostility to any expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. For instance, Blackstone went so far as to assert: “For martial law, which is built upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Hale observes, in truth and reality no law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the {{SIC|ony|only}} thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.” The generation that adopted the Constitution did not distrust the military because of past history alone. Within their own lives they had seen royal governors sometimes resort to military rule. British troops were quartered in Boston at various times from 1768 until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War to support unpopular royal governors and to intimidate the local populace. The trial of soldiers by courts-martial and the interference of the military with the civil courts aroused great anxiety and antagonism not only in Massachusetts but throughout the colonies. For example, Samuel Adams in 1768 wrote: “[I]s it not enough for us to have seen soldiers and mariners forejudged of life, and executed within the body of the county by martial law? Are citizens to be called upon, threatened, ill-used at the will of the soldiery, and put under arrest, by pretext of the law military, in breach of the fundamental rights of subjects, and contrary to the law and franchise of the land? * * * Will the spirits of people as yet unsubdued by tyranny, unawed by the menaces of arbitrary power, submit to be governed by military force? No! Let us rouse our attention to the common law—which is our birthright, our great security against all kinds of insult and oppression.” Colonials had also seen the right to trial by jury subverted by acts of Parliament which authorized courts of admiralty to try alleged violations of the unpopular Molasses and Navigation Acts. This gave the admiralty courts jurisdiction over offenses historically triable only by a jury in a court of law and aroused great resentment throughout the colonies. As early as 1765 delegates from nine colonies meeting in New York asserted in a declaration of rights that trial by jury was the inherent and invaluable right of every citizen in the colonies. With this background it is not surprising that the Declaration of Independence protested that George III. had affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power and that Americans had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. And those who adopted the Constitution embodied their profound fear and distrust of military power, as well as their determination to protect trial by jury, in the Constitution and its amendments. Perhaps they were aware that memories fade and hoped that in this way they could keep the people of this Nation from having to fight again and again the same old battles for individual freedom. In the light of this history, it seems clear that the founders had no intention to permit the trial of civilians in military courts, where they would be denied jury trials and other constitutional protections, merely by giving Congress the power to make rules which were necessary and proper for the regulation of the land and naval forces. Such a latitudinarian interpretation of these clauses would be at war with the well-established purpose of the founders to keep the military strictly within its proper sphere, subordinate to civil authority. The Constitution does not say that Congress can regulate the land and naval forces and all other persons whose regulation might have some relationship to maintenance of the land and naval forces. There is no indication that the founders contemplated setting up a rival system of military courts to compete with civilian courts for jurisdiction over civilians who might have some contact or relationship with the Armed Forces. Courts-martial were not to have concurrent jurisdiction with courts of law over nonmilitary America. On several occasions this Court has been faced with an attempted expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. ''Ex parte'' Milligan (4 Wall. 2), one of the great landmarks in this Court’s history, held that military authorities were without power to try civilians not in the military or naval service by declaring martial law in an area where the civil administration was not deposed and the courts were not closed. In a stirring passage the Court proclaimed: “Another guaranty of freedom was broken when Milligan was denied a trial by jury. The great minds of the country have differed on the correct interpretation to be given to various provisions of the Federal Constitution; and judicial decision has been often invoked to settle their true meaning; but until recently no one ever doubted that the right of trial by jury was fortified in the organic law against the power of attack. It is now assailed; but if ideas can be expressed in words, and language has any meaning, this right—one of the most valuable in a free country—is preserved to everyone accused of crime who is not attached to the Army, or Navy, or militia in actual service.” In ''Duncan'' v. ''Kahanamoku'' (327 U. S. 304), the Court reasserted the principles enunciated in ''Ex parte'' Milligan and reaffirmed the tradition of military subordination to civil authorities and institutions. It refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during wartime despite Government claims that the needs of defense made martial law imperative. Just last term, this Court held in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), that military courts could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense which he had allegedly committed while in the Armed Forces. It was decided (1) that since Toth was a civilian he could not be tried by military court-martial, and (2) that since he was charged with murder, a crime in the constitutional sense, he was entitled to indictment by a grand jury, jury trial, and the other protections contained in article III., section 2 and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. The Court pointed out that trial by civilian courts was the rule for persons who were not members of the Armed Forces. There are no supportable grounds upon which to distinguish the ''Toth'' case from the present cases. Toth, Mrs. Covert, and Mrs. Smith were all civilians. All three were American citizens. All three were tried for murder. All three alleged crimes were committed in a foreign country. The only differences were: (1) Toth was an exserviceman while they were wives of soldiers; (2) Toth was arrested in the United States while they were seized in foreign countries. If anything, Toth had closer connection with the military than the two women for his crime was committed while he was actually serving in the Air Force. Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith had never been members of the Army, had never been employed by the Army, had never served in the Army in any capacity. The Government appropriately argued in Toth that the constitutional basis for court-martialing him was clearer than for court-martialing wives who are accompanying their husbands abroad. Certainly Toth’s conduct as a soldier bears a closer relation to the maintenance of order and discipline in the Armed Forces than the conduct of these wives. The fact that Toth was arrested here while the wives were arrested in foreign countries is material only if constitutional safeguards do not shield a citizen abroad when the Government exercises its power over him. As we have said before, such a view of the Constitution is erroneous. The mere fact that these women had gone overseas with their husbands should not reduce the protection the Constitution gives them. The Milligan, ''Duncan'', and ''Toth'' cases recognized and manifested the deeply rooted and ancient opposition in this country to the extension of military control over civilians. In each instance an effort to expand the jurisdiction of military courts to civilians was repulsed. There have been a number of decisions in the lower Federal courts which have upheld military trial of civilians performing services for the Armed Forces in the field during time of war. To the extent that these cases can be justified, insofar as they involved trial of persons who were not members of the Armed Forces, they must rest on the Government’s war powers. In the face of an actively hostile enemy, military commanders necessarily have broad power over persons on the battlefront. From a time prior to the adoption of the Constitution the extraordinary circumstances present in an area of actual fighting have been considered sufficient to permit punishment of some civilians in that area by military courts under military rules. But neither Japan nor Great Britain could properly be said to be an area where active hostilities were underway at the time Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert committed their offenses or at the time they were tried. The Government urges that the concept in the field should be broadened to reach dependents accompanying the military forces overseas under the conditions of world tension which exist at the present time. It points out how the war powers include authority to prepare defenses and to establish our military forces in defensive posture about the world. While we recognize that the war powers of the Congress and the Executive are broad, we reject the Government’s argument that present threats to peace permit military trial of civilians accompanying the Armed Forces overseas in an area where no actual hostilities are underway. The exigencies which have required military rule on the battlefront are not present in areas where no conflict exists. Military trial of civilians in the field is an extraordinary jurisdiction, and it should not be expanded at the expense of the Bill of Rights. We agree with Colonel Winthrop, an expert on military jurisdiction, who declared: “A statute cannot be framed by which a civilian can lawfully be made amenable to the military jurisdiction in time of peace.” As this Court stated in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), the business of soldiers is to fight and prepare to fight wars, not to try civilians for their alleged crimes. Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions, and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks. Because of its very nature and purpose the military must place great emphasis on discipline and efficiency. Correspondingly, there has always been less emphasis in the military on protecting the rights of the individual than in civilian society and in civilian courts. Courts-martial are typically ''ad hoc'' bodies appointed by a military officer from among his subordinates. They have always been subject to varying degrees of command influence. In essence, these tribunals are simply executive tribunals whose personnel are in the executive chain of command. Frequently, the members of the court-martial must look to the appointing officer for promotions, advantageous assignments, and efficiency ratings—in short, for their future progress in the service. Conceding to military personnel that high degree of honesty and sense of justice which nearly all of them undoubtedly have, the members of a court-martial, in the nature of things, do not and cannot have the independence of jurors drawn from the general public or of civilian judges. We recognize that a number of improvements have been made in military justice recently by engrafting more and more of the methods of civilian courts on courts-martial. In large part these ameliorations stem from the reaction of civilians, who were inducted during the two World Wars, to their experience with military justice. Notwithstanding the recent reforms, military trial does not give an accused the same protection which exists in the civil courts. Looming far above all other deficiencies of the military trial, of course, are the absence of trial by jury before an independent judge after an indictment by a grand jury. Moreover, the reforms are merely statutory; Congress—and perhaps the President—can reinstate former practices, subject to any limitations imposed by the Constitution, whenever it desires. As yet it has not been clearly settled to what extent the Bill of Rights and other protective parts of the Constitution apply to military trials. It must be emphasized that every person who comes within the jurisdiction of courts-martial is subject to military law—law that is substantially different from the law which governs civilian society. Military law is, in many respects, harsh law which is frequently cast in very sweeping and vague terms. It emphasizes the iron hand of discipline more that it does the even scales of justice. Moreover, it has not yet been definitely established to what extent the President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, or his delegates, can promulgate, supplement, or change substantive military law as well as the procedures of military courts in time of peace, or in time of war. In any event, Congress has given the President broad discretion to provide the rules governing military trials. For example, in these very cases a technical manual issued under the President’s name with regard to the defense of insanity in military trials was of critical importance in the convictions of Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith. If the President can provide rules of substantive law as well as procedure, then he and his military subordinates exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers with respect to those subject to military trials. Such blending of functions in one branch of the Government is the objectionable thing which the draftsmen of the Constitution endeavored to prevent by providing for the separation of governmental powers. In summary, “it still remains true that military tribunals have not been and probably never can be constituted in such way that they can have the same kind of qualifications that the Constitution has deemed essential to fair trials of civilians in Federal courts.” In part this is attributable to the inherent differences in values and attitudes that separate the Military Establishment from civilian society. In the military, by necessity, emphasis must be placed on the security and order of the group rather than on the value and integrity of the individual. It is urged that the expansion of military jurisdiction over civilians claimed here is only slight, and that the practical necessity for it is very great. The attitude appears to be that a slight encroachment on the Bill of Rights and other safeguards in the Constitution need cause little concern. But to hold that these wives could be tried by the military would be a tempting precedent. Slight encroachments create new boundaries from which legions of power can seek new territory to capture. “It may be that it is the obnoxious thing in its mildest and least repulsive form; but illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing in that way; namely, by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal modes of procedure. This can only be obviated by adhering to the rule that constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. A close and literal construction deprives them of half their efficacy, and leads to gradual depreciation of the right, as if it consisted more in sound than in substance. It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.” Moreover we cannot consider this encroachment a slight one. Throughout history many transgressions by the military have been called slight and have been justified as reasonable in light of the uniqueness of the times. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that today the peoples of many nations are ruled by the military. We should not break faith with this Nation’s tradition of keeping military power subservient to civilian authority, a tradition which we believe is firmly embodied in the Constitution. The country has remained true to that faith for almost 170 years. Perhaps no group in the Nation has been truer than military men themselves. Unlike the soldiers of many other nations, they have been content to perform their military duties in defense of the Nation in every period of need and to perform those duties well without attempting to usurp power which is not theirs under our system of constitutional government. Ours is a Government of divided authority on the assumption that in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny. And under our Constitution courts of law alone are given power to try civilians for their offenses against the United States. The philosophy expressed by Lord Coke, speaking long ago from a wealth of experience, is still timely: “God send me never to live under the law of conveniency or discretion. Shall the soldier and justice sit on one bench, the trumpet will not let the cryer speak in Westminster Hall.” In No. 701, ''Reid'' v. ''Covert'', the judgment of the district court directing that Mrs. Covert be released from custody is affirmed. In No. 713, ''Kinsella'' v. ''Krueger'', the judgment of the district court is reversed and the case is remanded with instructions to order Mrs. Smith released from custody. Reversed and remanded. Mr. Justice Whittaker took no part in the consideration or decision of these cases. {{rule|3em}} SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.'' CLARICE B. COVERT; NINA KINSELLA, WARDEN OF THE FEDERAL REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN, ALDERSON, WEST VIRGINIA, PETITIONER, ''v.'' WALTER KRUEGER, ON REHEARING, JUNE 10, 1957 Mr. Justice Frankfurter, concurring in the result. These cases involve the constitutional power of Congress to provide for trial of civilian dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces abroad by court-martial in capital cases. The normal method of trial of Federal offenses under the Constitution is in a civilian tribunal. Trial of offenses by way of court-martial, with all the characteristics of its procedure so different from the forms and safeguards of procedure in the conventional courts, is an exercise of exceptional jurisdiction, arising from the power granted to Congress in article I., section 8, clause 14, of the Constitution of the United States—“To make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” ''Dynes'' v. ''Hoover'', (20 How. 65); see ''Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11); Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d ed. 1896), 52. Article 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64th United States Statutes at Large, pages 107, 109, title 50, United States Code, section 532, and its predecessors were passed as an exercise of that power, and the agreements with England and Japan recognized that the jurisdiction to be exercised under those agreements was based on the relation of the persons involved to the military forces. See the agreement with Great Britain (57 Stat. 1193, E. A. S. No. 355) and the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act (1942, 5 and 6 Geo. 6, ch. 31); and the 1952 administrative agreement with Japan (3 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 3341, T. I. A. S. No. 2492). Trial by court-martial is constitutionally permissible only for persons who can, on a fair appraisal, be regarded as falling within the authority given to Congress under article I. to regulate the “land and naval forces,” and who therefore are not protected by specific provisions of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. It is, of course, true that, at least regarding the right to a grand-jury indictment, the fifth amendment is not unmindful of the demands of military discipline. Within the scope of appropriate construction, the phrase “except in cases arising in the land and naval forces” has been assumed also to modify the guaranties of speedy and public trial by jury. And so, the problem before us is not to be answered by recourse to the literal words of this exception. The cases cannot be decided simply by saying that since these women were not in uniform, they were not “in the land and naval forces.” The Court’s function in constitutional adjudications is not exhausted by a literal reading of words. It may be tiresome, but it is nonetheless vital, to keep our judicial minds fixed on the injunction that “it is a Constitution we are expounding.” ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, 407). Although Winthrop in his treatise states that the Constitution “clearly distinguishes the military from the civil class as separate communities” and “recognizes no third class which is part civil and part military—military for a particular purpose or in a particular situation, and civil for all other purposes and in all other situations. * * *” Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d edition 1896), 145, this Court, applying appropriate methods of constitutional interpretation, has long held, and in a variety of situations, that in the exercise of a power specifically granted to it, Congress may sweep in what may be necessary to make effective the explicitly worded power. See ''Jacob Ruppert'' v. ''Caffey'' (251 U. S. 264) especially 289 and following; ''Purity Extract Co.'' v. ''Lynch'' (226 U. S. 192, 201); ''Railroad Commission'' v. ''Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy R. Co.'' (257 U. S. 563, 588). This is the significance of the necessary and proper clause, which is not to be considered so much a separate clause in article I., section 8, as an integral part of each of the preceding 17 clauses. Only thus may be avoided a strangling literalness in construing a document that is not an enumeration of static rules, but the living framework of Government designed for an undefined future. ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316); ''Hurtado'' v. ''California'' (110 U. S. 516, 530–531). Everything that may be deemed, as the exercise of an allowable judgment by Congress, to fall fairly within the conception conveyed by the power given to Congress “to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” is constitutionally within that legislative grant and not subject to revision by the independent judgment of the Court. To be sure, every event or transaction that bears some relation to “the land and naval forces” does not ''ipso facto'' come within the tolerant conception of that legislative grant. The issue in these cases involves regard for considerations not dissimilar to those involved in a determination under the due process clause. Obviously, the practical situations before us bear some relation to the military. Yet the question for this Court is not merely whether the relation of these women to the “land and naval forces” is sufficiently close to preclude the necessity of finding that Congress has been arbitrary in its selection of a particular method of trial. For although we must look to article I., section 8, clause 14, as the immediate justifying power, it is not the only clause of the Constitution to be taken into account. The Constitution is an organic scheme of government to be dealt with as an entirety. A particular provision cannot be dissevered from the rest of the Constitution. Our conclusion in these cases therefore must take due account of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must weigh all the factors involved in these cases in order to decide whether these women dependents are so closely related to what Congress may allowably deem essential for the effective “government and regulations of the land and naval forces” that they may be subjected to court-martial jurisdiction in these capital cases, when the consequence is loss of the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We are not concerned here even with the possibility of some alternative nonmilitary type of trial that does not contain all the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must judge only what has been enacted and what is at issue. It is the power actually asserted by Congress under article I., section 8, clause 14, that must now be adjudged in the light of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. In making this adjudication, I must emphasize that it is only the trial of civilian dependents in a capital case in time of peace that is in question. The Court has not before it, and therefore I need not intimate any opinion on, situations involving civilians, in the sense of persons not having a military status, other than dependents. Nor do we have before us a case involving a noncapital crime. This narrow delineation of the issue is merely to respect the important restrictions binding on the Court when passing on the constitutionality of an act of Congress. “In the exercise of that jurisdiction, it is bound by two rules, to which it has rigidly adhered, one, never to anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it; the other never to formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied. These rules are safe guides to sound judgment. It is the dictate of wisdom to follow them closely and carefully.” ''Steamship Co.'' v. ''Emigration Commissioners'' (113 U. S. 33, 39). We are also not concerned here with the substantive aspects of the grant of power to Congress to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces. What conduct should be punished and what constitutes a capital case are matters for Congressional discretion, always subject, of course, to any specific restrictions of the Constitution. These cases involve the validity of procedural conditions for determining the commission of a crime in fact punishable by death. The taking of life is irrevocable. It is in capital cases especially that the balance of conflicting interests must be weighted most heavily in favor of the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Thus, in ''Powell'' v. ''Alabama'' (287 U. S. 45, 71), the fact “above all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives” led the Court to conclude that the defendants had been denied due process by the failure to allow them reasonable time to seek counsel and the failure to appoint counsel. I repeat. I do not mean to imply that the considerations that are controlling in capital cases involving civilian dependents are constitutionally irrelevant in capital cases involving civilians other than dependents or in noncapital cases involving dependents or other civilians. I do say that we are dealing here only with capital cases and civilian dependents. The Government asserts that civilian dependents are an integral part of our Armed Forces overseas and that there is substantial military necessity for subjecting them to court-martial jurisdiction. The Government points out that civilian dependents go abroad under military auspices, live with military personnel in a military community, enjoy the privileges of military facilities, and that their conduct inevitably tends to influence military discipline. The prosecution by court-martial for capital crimes committed by civilian dependents of members of the Armed Forces abroad is hardly to be deemed; under modern conditions, obviously appropriate to the effective exercise of the power to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces when it is a question of deciding what power is granted under article I. and, therefore, what restriction is made on article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. I do not think that the proximity, physical and social, of these women to the land and naval forces is, with due regard to all that has been put before us, so clearly demanded by the effective Government and regulation of those forces as reasonably to demonstrate a justification for court-martial jurisdiction over capital offenses. The Government speaks of the “great potential impact on military discipline” of these accompanying civilian dependents. This cannot be denied, nor should its implications be minimized. But the notion that discipline over military personnel is to be furthered by subjecting their civilian dependents to the threat of capital punishment imposed by court-martial is too hostile to the reasons that underlie the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights for those safeguards to be displaced. It is true that military discipline might be affected seriously if civilian dependents could commit murders and other capital crimes with impunity. No one, however, challenges the availability to Congress of a power to provide for trial and punishment of these dependents for such crimes. The method of trial alone is in issue. The Government suggests that if trial in an article III. court subject to the restrictions of the fifth and sixth amendments is the only alternative, such a trial could not be held abroad practicably, and it would often be equally impracticable to transport all the witnesses back to the United States for trial. But although there is no need to pass on that issue in this case, trial in the United States is obviously not the only practical alternative and other alternatives may raise different constitutional questions. The Government’s own figures for the Army show that the total number of civilians (all civilians serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces overseas and not merely civilian dependents) for whom general courts-martial for alleged murder were deemed advisable was only 13 in the 7 fiscal years, 1950–56. It is impossible to ascertain from the figures supplied to us exactly how many persons were tried for other capital offenses, but the figures indicate that there could not have been many. There is nothing to indicate that the figures for the other services are more substantial. It thus appears to be a manageable problem within the procedural restrictions found necessary by this opinion. A further argument is made that a decision adverse to the Government would mean that only a foreign trial could be had. Even assuming that the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, (4 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 1792, T. I. A. S. No. 2846) covering countries where a large part of our Armed Forces are stationed, gives jurisdiction to the United States only through its military authorities, this court cannot speculate that any given nation would be unwilling to grant or continue such extraterritorial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in capital cases if they were to be tried by some other manner than court-martial. And even if such were the case, these civilian dependents would then merely be in the same position as are so many Federal employees and their dependents and other United States citizens who are subject to the laws of foreign nations when residing there. See also the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, ''supra'', article VII., sections 2, 3. The Government makes the final argument that these civilian dependents are part of the United States military contingent abroad in the eyes of the foreign nations concerned and that their conduct may have a profound effect on our relations with these countries, with a consequent effect on the Military Establishment there. But the argument that military courts-martial in capital cases are necessitated by this factor assumes either that a military court-martial constitutes a stronger deterrent to this sort of conduct or that in the absence of such a trial no punishment would be meted out and our foreign policy thereby injured. The reasons why these considerations carry no conviction have already been indicated. I therefore conclude that in capital cases the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in time of peace cannot be justified by article I., considered in connection with the specific protections of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. Since the conclusion thus reached differs from what the Court decided last term, a decent respect for the judicial process calls for reexamination of the two grounds that then prevailed. The court sustained its action on the authority of the cases dealing with the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for the territories, reinforced by ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453), in which this Court, in 1891, sustained the criminal jurisdiction of a consular court in Japan. These authorities grew out of, and related to, specific situations very different from those now here. They do not control or even embarrass the problem before us. Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific judicial origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the purposes they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots. Doctrines like those expressed by the Ross case and the series of cases beginning with ''American Insurance Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511), must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion. “If a precedent involving a black horse is applied to a case involving a white horse, we are not excited. If it were an elephant or an animal ''ferae naturae'' or a chose in action, then we would venture into thought. The difference might make a difference. We really are concerned about precedents chiefly when their facts differ somewhat from the facts in the case at bar. Then there is a gulf or hiatus that has to be bridged by a concern for principle and a concern for practical results and practical wisdom.” Thomas Reed Powell, Vagaries and Varieties in Constitutional Interpretation 36. This attitude toward precedent underlies the whole system of our case law. It was thus summarized by Mr. Justice Brandeis: “It is a peculiar virtue of our system of law that the process of inclusion and exclusion, so often employed in developing a rule, is not allowed to end with its enunciation and that an expression in an opinion yields later to the impact of facts unforeseen.” ''Jaybird Mining Co.'' v. ''Weir'' (271 U. S. 609, 619 (dissenting)). Especially is this attitude to be observed in constitutional controversies. The Territorial cases relied on by the Court last term held that certain specific constitutional restrictions on the Government did not automatically apply in the acquired Territories of Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, or Puerto Rico. In these cases, the Court drew its decisions from the power of Congress to “make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory * * * belonging to the United States,” for which provision is made in article IV., section 3. The United States from time to time acquired lands in which many of our laws and customs found an uncongenial soil because they ill accorded with the history and habits of their people. Mindful of all relevant provisions of the Constitution and not allowing one to frustrate another—which is the guiding thought of this opinion—the Court found it necessary to read article IV., section 3 together with the fifth and sixth amendments and article III. in the light of those circumstances. The question arose most frequently with respect to the establishment of trial by jury in possessions in which such a system was wholly without antecedents. The Court consistently held with respect to such Territory that Congressional power under article IV., section 3 was not restricted by the requirement of article III., section 2, clause 3, and the sixth amendment of providing trial by jury. “If the right to trial by jury were a fundamental right which goes wherever the jurisdiction of the United States extends; or if Congress, in framing laws for outlying territory belonging to the United States, was obliged to establish that system by affirmative legislation, it would follow that, no matter what the needs or capacities of the people, trial by jury, and in no other way, must be forthwith established, although the result may be to work injustice and provoke disturbance rather than to aid the orderly administration of justice. If the United States, impelled by its duty or advantage, shall acquire territory peopled by savages, and of which it may dispose or not hold for ultimate admission to statehood, if this doctrine is sound, it must establish there the trial by jury. To state such a proposition demonstrates the impossibility of carrying it into practice. Again, if the United States shall acquire by treaty the cession of territory having an established system of jurisprudence, where jury trials are unknown, but a method of fair and orderly trial prevails under an acceptable and long-established code, the preference of the people must be disregarded, their established customs ignored, and they themselves coerced to accept, in advance of incorporation into the United States, a system of trial unknown to them and unsuited to their needs. We do not think it was intended, in giving power to Congress to make regulations for the territories, to hamper its exercise with this condition.” ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138, 148.) The fundamental right test is the one which the Court has consistently enunciated in the long series of cases—''e. g.'', ''American Ins. Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511); ''De Lima'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 1); ''Downes'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 244); ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138); ''Balzac'' v. ''Porto Rico'' (258 U. S. 298)—dealing with claims of constitutional restrictions on the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for governing the unincorporated territories. The process of decision appropriate to the problem led to a detailed examination of the relation of the specific territory to the United States. This examination, in its similarity to analysis in terms of due process, is essentially the same as that to be made in the present cases in weighing Congressional power to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces against the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. The results in the cases that arose by reason of the acquisition of exotic territory do not control the present cases for the territorial cases rest specifically—on article IV., section 3, which is a grant of power to Congress to deal with territory and other Government property. Of course the power sought to be exercised in Great Britain and Japan does not relate to territory. The Court’s opinions in the territorial cases did not lay down a broad principle that the protective provisions of the Constitution do not apply outside the continental limits of the United States. This Court considered the particular situation in each newly acquired territory to determine whether the grant to Congress of power to govern territory was restricted by a specific provision of the Constitution. The territorial cases, in the emphasis put by them on the necessity for considering the specific circumstances of each particular case, are thus relevant in that they provide an illustrative method for harmonizing constitutional provisions which appear, separately considered, to be conflicting. The Court last term relied on a second source of authority, the consular court case, ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). Pursuant to a treaty with Japan, Ross, a British subject but a member of the crew of a United States ship, was tried and convicted in a consular court in Yokohama for murder of a fellow seaman while the ship was in Yokohama Harbor. His application for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to a United States circuit court was denied, 44 F. 185, and on appeal here, the judgment was affirmed. This Court set forth the ground of the circuit court, “the long and uniform acquiescence by the executive, administrative, and legislative departments of the Government in the validity of the legislation,” 140th United States Reports, at page 461, and then stated: “The circuit court might have found an additional ground for not calling in question the legislation of Congress, in the uniform practice of civilized governments for centuries to provide consular tribunals in other than Christian countries * * * for the trial of their own subjects or citizens for offenses committed in those countries, as well as for the settlement of civil disputes between them; and in the uniform recognition, down to the time of the formation of our Government, of the fact that the establishment of such tribunals was among the most important subjects for treaty stipulations. * * * “The treatymaking power vested in our Government extends to all proper subjects of negotiation with foreign governments. It can, equally with any of the former or present governments of Europe, make treaties providing for the exercise of judicial authority in other countries by its officers appointed to reside therein. “We do not understand that any question is made by counsel as to its power in this respect. His objection is to the legislation by which such treaties are carried out * * *. “By the Constitution a government is ordained and established ‘for the United States of America,’ and not for countries outside of their limits. The guarantees it affords against accusation of capital or infamous crimes, except by indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and, for an impartial trial by a jury when thus accused, apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad. * * * The Constitution can have no operation in another country. When, therefore, the representatives or officers of our Government are permitted to exercise authority of any kind in another country, it must be on such conditions as the two countries may agree, the laws of neither one being obligatory upon the other. The deck of a private American vessel, it is true, is considered for many purposes constructively as territory of the United States, yet persons on board of such vessels, whether officers, sailors, or passengers, cannot invoke the protection of the provisions referred to until brought within the actual territorial boundaries of the United States.” (140 U. S., at 462–464.) One observation should be made at the outset about the grounds for decision in Ross. Insofar as the opinion expressed a view that the Constitution is not operative outside the United States—and apparently Mr. Justice Field meant by “United States” all lands over which the United States flag flew, see John W. Burgess, How May the United States Govern Its Extra-Continental Territory? (14 Pol. Sci. Q. 1 (1899))—it expressed a notion that has long since evaporated. Governmental action abroad is performed under both the authority and the restrictions of the Constitution—for example, proceedings before American military tribunals, whether in Great Britain or in the United States, are subject to the applicable restrictions of the Constitution. See opinions in ''Burns'' v. ''Wilson'' (346 U. S. 137). The significance of the Ross case and its relevance to the present cases cannot be assessed unless due regard is accorded the historical context in which that case was decided. Ross is not rooted in any abstract principle or comprehensive theory touching constitutional power or its restrictions. It was decided with reference to a very particular, practical problem with a long history. To be mindful of this does not attribute to Mr. Justice Field’s opinion some unavowed historical assumption. On behalf of the whole court, he spelled out the considerations that controlled it: “The practice of European governments to send officers to reside in foreign countries, authorized to exercise a limited jurisdiction over vessels and seamen of their country, to watch the interests of their countrymen and to assist in adjusting their disputes and protecting their commerce, goes back to a very early period, even preceding what are termed the Middle Ages. * * * In other than Christian countries they were, by treaty stipulations, usually clothed with authority to hear complaints against their countrymen and to sit in judgment upon them when charged with public offenses. After the rise of Islamism, and the spread of its followers over eastern Asia and other countries bordering on the Mediterranean, the exercise of this judicial authority became a matter of great concern. The intense hostility of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to Christians, affected all their intercourse, and all proceedings had in their tribunals. Even the rules of evidence adopted by them placed those of different faith on unequal grounds in any controversy with them. For this cause, and by reason of the barbarous and cruel punishments inflicted in those countries, and the frequent use of torture to enforce confession from parties accused, it was a matter of deep interest to Christian governments to withdraw the trial of their subjects, when charged with the commission of a public offence, from the arbitrary and despotic action of the local officials. Treaties conferring such jurisdiction upon these consuls were essential to the peaceful residence of Christians within those countries and the successful prosecution of commerce with their people.” One Hundred and Fortieth United States Reports, at page 463. “It is true that the occasion for consular tribunals in Japan may hereafter be less than at present, as every year that country progresses in civilization and in the assimilation of its system of judicial procedure to that of Christian countries, as well as in the improvement of its penal statutes; but the system of consular tribunals * * * is of the highest importance, and their establishment in other than. Christian countries, where our people may desire to go in pursuance of commerce, will often be essential for the protection of their persons and property” (''id.'', at 480). It is important to have a lively sense of this background before attempting to draw on the Ross case. Historians have traced grants of extraterritorial rights as far back as the permission given by Egypt in the 12th or 13th century {{asc|B. C.}} to the merchants of Tyre to establish factories on the Nile and to live under their own law and practice their own religion. Numerous other instances of persons living under their own law in foreign lands existed in the later pre-Christian era and during the Roman Empire and the so-called Dark and Middle Ages—Greeks in Egypt, all sorts of foreigners in Rome, inhabitants of Christian cities and states in the Byzantine Empire, the Latin kingdoms of the Levant, and other Christian cities and states, Mohammedans in the Byzantine Empire and China, and many others lived in foreign lands under their own law. While the origins of this extraterritorial jurisdiction may have differed in each country, the notion that law was for the benefit of the citizens of a country and its advantages not for foreigners appears to have been an important factor. Thus, there existed a long-established custom of extraterritorial jurisdiction at the beginning of the 15th century when the complete conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire substantially altered political relations between Christian Europe and the Near East. But commercial relations continued, and in 1535 Francis I. of France negotiated a treaty with Suleiman I. of Turkey that provided for numerous extraterritorial rights, including criminal and civil jurisdiction over all disputes among. French subjects. (1 Ernest Charriere, Negotiations de la France dans le Levant 283.) Other nations and eventually the United States in 1830 (8 Stat. 408), later negotiated similar treaties with the Turks. (For a more complete history of the development of extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction, see 1 Calvo, Le Droit International Theorique et Pratique (5th ed., Rousseau, 1896), 2–18, 2 ''id.'', 9–12; Hinckley, American Consular Jurisdiction in the Orient, 1–9; 1 Miltitz, Manuel des Consuls passim; Ravndal, The Origin of the Capitulations and of the Consular Jurisdiction, S. Doc. No. 34, 67th Cong., 1st sess. 5–45, 56–96; Shih Shun Liu, Extraterritoriality, 23–66; Twiss, The Law of Nations (1884 ed.), 443–457.) The emergence of the nation-state in Europe and the growth of the doctrine of absolute territorial sovereignty changed the nature of extraterritorial rights. No longer were strangers to be denied the advantages of local law. Indeed, territorial sovereignty meant the exercise of sovereignty over all residents within the borders of the state, and the system of extraterritorial consular jurisdiction tended to die out among Christian nations in the 18th and 19th centuries. But a new justification was found for the continuation of that jurisdiction in those countries whose systems of justice were considered inferior, and it was this strong feeling with respect to Moslem and Far Eastern countries that was reflected, as we have seen, in the Ross opinion. Until 1842, China had asserted control over all foreigners within its territory (Shih Shun Liu, ''op. cit.'', ''supra'', 76–89) but, as a result of the Opium War, Great Britain negotiated a treaty with China whereby she obtained consular offices in five open ports and was granted extraterritorial rights over her citizens. On July 3, 1844, Caleb Cushing negotiated a similar treaty on behalf of the United States (8 Stat. 592). In a letter to Secretary of State Calhoun, he explained: “I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations—in a word a Christian state.” Quoted in 7 Op. Atty. Gen. 495, 496–497. Later treaties continued the extraterritorial rights of the United States, and the treaty of 1903 contained the following article demonstrating the purpose of those rights: “The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of western nations, the United States agrees to give every assistance to such reform and will also be prepared to relinquish extra-territorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in doing so” (33 Stat. 2208, 2215). The first treaty with Japan was negotiated by Commodore Perry in 1854 (11 Stat. 597). It opened two ports, but did not provide for any exercise of judicial powers by United States officials. Under the treaty of 1857 (11 Stat. 723), such power was given, and later treaties, which opened up further Japanese cities for trade and residence by United States citizens, retained these rights. The treaty of 1894, effective on July 17, 1899, however, ended these extraterritorial rights and Japan, even though a non-Christian nation, came to occupy the same status as Christian nations (29 Stat. 848). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction by consuls over United States citizens was also provided for, at one time or another, in treaties with Borneo (10 Stat. 909, 910); Siam (11 Stat. 683, 684); Madagascar (15 Stat. 491, 492); Samoan Islands (20 Stat. 704); Korea (23 Stat. 720, 721); Tonga Islands (25 Stat. 1440, 1442) and, by virtue of most-favored-nation clauses; in treaties with Tripoli (8 Stat. 154); Persia (11 Stat. 709); the Congo (27 Stat. 926); and Ethiopia (33 Stat. 2254). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction was also provided for in a treaty with Morocco (8 Stat. 100), by virtue of a most-favored-nation clause and by virtue of a clause granting jurisdiction if “any citizens of the United States * * * shall have any disputes with each other.” The word “disputes” has been interpreted by the International Court of Justice to comprehend criminal as well as civil disputes. ''France'' v. ''United States'' (I. C. J. Rept. 1952, p. 176, 188–189.) The treaties with Algiers (8 Stat. 133, 224, 244); Tunis (8 Stat. 157); and Muscat (8 Stat. 458) contained similar disputes clauses. The judicial power exercised by consuls was defined by statute and was sweeping: “Jurisdiction in both criminal and civil matters shall, in all cases, be exercised and enforced in conformity with the laws of the United States, which are hereby, so far as is necessary to execute such treaties, respectively, and so far as they are suitable to carry the same into effect, extended over all citizens of the United States in those countries, and over all others to the extent that the terms of the treaties, respectively, justify or require. But in all cases where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” (Rev. Stat. sec. 4086.) The consuls, then, exercised not only executive and judicial power, but legislative power as well. The number of people subject to the jurisdiction of these courts during their most active periods appears to have been fairly small. In the Chronicle & Directory for China, Japan, and the Philippines, for the year 1870, there is a listing of the total number of foreign, not just United States, residents in these three places. The list is 81 pages long, with a total of some 4,500 persons (pp. 54–134). This same publication gives the following information about Japan. “The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of * * * 38 Americans * * * and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number * * * about 80 [were] Americans. * * * At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the Government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January 1866: * * * American citizens, 32. * * * A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there * * *.” (Appendix, p. 353.) The statesman’s Yearbook of 1890 shows: China at the end of 1888: 1,020 Americans (p. 411); Japan in 1887, 711 Americans (p. 709); Morocco; 1889 estimate: “The number of Christians is very small, not exceeding 1,500” (p. 739). The Statesman’s Yearbook of 1901 shows: China at the end of 1899: 2,335 Americans (p. 484); Japan, December 31, 1898, just before the termination of our extraterritorial rights: 1,165 Americans (p. 809); Morocco: “The number of Christians does not exceed 6,000; the Christian population of Tangier alone probably amounts to 5,000” (p. 851). These figures of course do not include those civilians temporarily in the country coming within consular jurisdiction. The consular court jurisdiction, then, was exercised in countries whose legal systems at the time were considered so inferior that justice could not be obtained in them by our citizens. The existence of these courts was based on long-established custom and they were justified as the best possible means for securing justice for the few Americans present in those countries. The Ross case, therefore, arose out of, and rests on, very special, confined circumstances, and cannot be applied automatically to the present situation, involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens in countries with civilized systems of justice. If Congress had established consular courts or some other nonmilitary procedure for trial that did not contain all the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments for the trial of civilian dependents of military personnel abroad, we would be forced to a detailed analysis of the situation of the civilian dependent population abroad in deciding whether the Ross case should be extended to cover such a case. It is not necessary to do this in the present cases in view of our decision that the form or trial here provided cannot constitutionally be justified. The Government, apparently recognizing the constitutional basis for the decision in Ross, has, on rehearing, sought to show that civilians in general and civilian dependents in particular have been subject to military order and discipline ever since the colonial period. The materials it has submitted seem too episodic, too meager, to form a solid basis in history, preceding and contemporaneous with the framing of the Constitution, for constitutional adjudication. What has been urged on us falls far too short of proving a well-established practice—to be deemed to be infused into the Constitution—of court-martial jurisdiction, certainly not in capital cases, over such civilians in time of peace.}} Mr. President, the decision which I have read in the {{sc|Record}} is in the case of Curtis Reid, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Jail, Appellant, against Clarice B. Covert, and Nina Kinsella, Warden of the Federal Reformatory for Women, Alderson, W. Va., petitioner, against Walter Krueger. The opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice Black, was concurred in by the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan. It pointed out clearly that even though the court-martial so provided, the jury trial could not be denied to civilians accompanying the Armed Forces. It is very clear on that point. There was a concurring opinion, which I have just included in the {{sc|Record}}, by Justice Frankfurter, which upholds that contention. There is no question that under the United States Constitution citizens are entitled to a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the discretion of a Federal judge to say whether he is going to grant a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the Congress to say that if the punishment is only a $300 fine or 45 days imprisonment we will let the judge try the case, but if it is above that the defendant can get a jury trial. That simply does not make sense. It violates the Constitution and is in derogation of the administration of justice in this country. As someone has said, it is a split-level statute. Mr. President, on May 9, 1957, before the mountain and plain regional meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colo., Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., of the Supreme Court, made an address on our judicial systems. In this address he discussed the advantages of our traditional jury-trial system. Because of the clear, straightforward nature of this address, I want to quote the following statement made by Justice Brennan. This is what he said: {{smaller block|We hear much, for example, of the proposal that we turn all automobile-accident litigation over to an administrative agency. The idea is that, because automobile litigation accounts for a major part of court business, the simple solution is to dispose of the problem by throwing it out the window. What an abject abdication of our profession’s responsibility to provide judicial justice for our citizens. But, at best, there is utterly no hope for that idea, at least not in our lifetimes, when the job of judicial reform must be done. It will be a long day before our society will pay the price of damages for every automobile injury or death without regard to the fault of the person injured or killed. There is no true analogy between compensation for the injured workman who helps produce goods or services for profit, where the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods or services, and compensation to the automobile victim, where the cost would have to be borne by all of us. Another nostrum is that, because jury trials take more time than trials before a judge without a jury, the easy answer to calendar congestion is to get rid of jury trials in automobile accident cases. Actual studies are being made to prove that the average jury trial in a negligence case takes more time than a nonjury trial of a negligence case. I question the need for a study to prove something that every judge and lawyer knows. Of course jury trials usually take more time than nonjury trials. But those who propose this suggest also that fairer justice will result if a judge, unprejudiced for one side or the other—they really mean that juries are prejudiced in favor of plaintiffs—disposes of them. I doubt that that proposition can withstand analysis. As a trial judge I was always interested in how often the jury brought in the same verdict on liability that I would have reached. And that seems to be the experience of trial judges generally. A recent survey proved that in upwards of 85 percent of the cases the trial judge reported that the jury reached the result on liability that he would have reached. Moreover, the idea that juries go haywire in fixing damages where plaintiffs prevail should be looked at a little more closely. I think at least that judge-decided verdicts under the Federal Tort Claims Act (no jury trial is had under that act) do not persuade the Department of Justice that juries are any less conscientious in fixing damages. I know that at times juries do go overboard. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the instances in my time as a trial judge when I felt it necessary to set aside verdicts because they had done so. My experience left me with the definite impression that jurors almost always do try to fix damages within allowable limits. I think, at all events, this proposal to abolish jury trials in automobile accident cases also faces an almost insurmountable hurdle. The success of our British brothers in abolishing jury trials should not mislead us. American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. Perhaps the emotion generated by proposals to modify or deny the right has its roots in the Jacksonian era of distrust of the legal profession and the insistence upon the people’s control of the administration of justice. Perhaps it is a survival of the same thing which gave us the elective system of judges in most States and in some, as in my own, New Jersey, actual lay participation on the bench. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of the preservation of their liberties. The road of him who would take away jury trial in automobile accident cases is a long and rocky one. I submit that it is a sorry response to the litigant who suffers from long delay in having his accident suit tried that we can offer no relief beyond “let’s throw accident litigation out of the courts,” or “let’s deny the victim the right of a jury trial.” Our profession must stand up and reject those nostrums. We know now that there are judicial structures and techniques of judicial administration which not only can cope with problems of calendar control but to far more {{SIC|signficant|significant}} purposes can also measurably assist in our ceaseless striving to give better justice. Our need is to get up our courage to fight for these things and to do battle with the powerfully entrenched opponents of any reform who too often take their position out of self-interest without sufficient consideration of what is best in the people’s interest. It doubtless is true that achievement of a modernized, efficient judicial structure requires far-reaching legislative and constitutional changes in most jurisdictions. But, far better to do the arduous labor of getting that essential job done than to promote equally drastic changes which are nothing more than a humiliating confession of defeat. Let us not forget that the integrity and efficiency of the judicial process is the first essential in a democratic society. The confidence of the people in the administration of justice is a prime requisite for free representative government. The public entrusts the legal profession with the sacred mission of dealing with the vital affairs that affect the whole pattern of human relations and certainly has a stake entitling it to demand not only that judges dispense justice impartially and fairly but also that judicial business shall be handled and disposed of by a modernized process which assures a minimum of friction and waste, for such a process also plays a large role in the achievement of impartial and fair justice for all litigants. There is actually no difference between the business of judicial administration and the business of running an industrial or commercial enterprise in the sense that the efficient and businesslike conduct of each means better service for the public. An inefficient and wasteful judicial administration actually can and often does result in a denial of justice, however earnestly an honest and upright judge may strive to prevent that lamentable result. I think it is not difficult to account for today’s heightened interest on the part of the general public throughout our Nation and, indeed, the Free World in the improvement of the process for administering justice. That growing interest is in large measure a product of the tumultuous times in which we live. For these are not only times which have produced a monstrous threat to all freedom, but, by the very reason of that threat, are times which have induced in free peoples everywhere an ever intensifying critical self-examination of the institutions upon which their freedoms depend—an insistence upon exposure of the imperfections of those institutions, a peremptory demand upon those who are entrusted with those institutions to improve and strengthen them the more surely to withstand the onslaught bent upon their destruction. It is but natural then that the judicial process should come under examination, for never was it more true than today that “Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.”}} Mr. President, I submit, just as Justice Brennan has quoted here, which never was more true than today: {{smaller block|Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.}} I contend that since our forefathers placed in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights provisions which are so plain it seems no one could misinterpret them, providing for trial by jury in criminal cases, there can be no question that jury trials are not only desirable but are demanded under the Constitution. There should be no doubt in the mind of anyone, if he studies the Constitution, that the so-called compromise which tends to compromise the Constitution of the United States is not a just, is not a fair, is not a wise, and is not a constitutional provision, and that this bill should be killed. Mr. President, one of the most interesting books ever written on the American system of Government was by Alexis de Tocqueville, a young Frenchman who wrote a book entitled “Democracy in America” after visiting this country during the 1830s. One of the chapters of his book was entitled “Trial by Jury in the United States Considered as a Political Institution.” I shall read excerpts from this chapter because it provides an excellent insight into the prestige attained by the system of jury trial from the observation of an unbiased observer. {{smaller block|[From de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” written after visiting America in the 1830s.] {{c|{{sc|Trial by Jury in the United States Constitution as a Political Institution}}}} Trial by jury, which is one of the forms of the sovereignty of the people, ought to be compared with the other laws which establish that sovereignty: Composition of the jury in the United States; effect of trial by jury upon the national character; it educates the people; how it tends to establish the influence of the magistrates and to extend the legal spirit among the people. Since my subject has led me to speak of the administration of justice in the United States, I will not pass over it without referring to the institution of the jury. Trial by jury may be considered in two separate points of view: as a judicial, and as a political institution. * * * My present purpose is to consider the jury as a political institution; any other course would divert me from my subject. Of trial by jury considered as a judicial institution I shall here say but little. When the English adopted trial by jury, they were a semi-barbarous people; they have since become one of the most enlightened nations of the earth, and their attachment to this institution seems to have increased with their increasing cultivation. They have emigrated and colonized every part of the habitable globe; some have formed colonies, others independent states; the mother country has maintained its monarchial constitution; many of its offspring have founded powerful republics; but everywhere they have boasted of the privilege of trial by jury. They have established it, or hastened to reestablish it, in all their settlements. A judicial institution which thus obtains the suffrages of a great people for so long a series of ages, which is zealously reproduced at every stage of civilization, in all the climates of the earth, and under every form of human {{SIC|govment|government}}, cannot be contrary to the spirit of justice. But to leave this part of the subject. It would be a very narrow view to look upon the jury as a mere judicial institution; for however great its influence may be upon the decisions of the courts, it is still greater on the destinies of society at large. The jury is, above all, a political institution, and it must be regarded in this light in order to be duly appreciated. By the jury I mean a certain number of citizens chosen by lot and invested with a temporary right of judging. Trial by jury, as applied to the repression of crime, appears to me an eminently republican element in the government, for the following reasons. The institution of the jury may be aristocratic or democratic, according to the class from which the jurors are taken; but it always preserves its republican character, in that it places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed, or of a portion of the governed, and not in that of the government. Force is never more than a transient element of success, and after force comes the notion of right. A government able to reach its enemies only upon a field of battle would soon be destroyed. The true sanction of political laws is to be found in penal legislation; and if that sanction is wanting, the law will sooner or later lose its cogency. He who punishes the criminal is therefore the real master of society. Now, the institution of the jury raises the people itself, or at least a class of citizens, to the bench of judges. The institution of the jury consequently invests the people, or that class of citizens, with the direction of society. In England the jury is selected from the aristocratic portion of the nation; the aristocracy makes the laws, applies the laws, and punishes infractions of the laws; everything is established upon a consistent footing, and England may with truth be said to constitute an aristocratic republic. In the United States the same system is applied to the whole people. Every American citizen is both an eligible and a legally qualified voter. The jury system as it is understood in America appears to me to be as direct and as extreme a consequence of the sovereignty of the people as universal suffrage. They are two instruments of equal power, which contribute to the supremacy of the majority. All the sovereigns who have chosen to govern by their own authority, and to direct society instead of obeying its directions, have destroyed or enfeebled the institution of the jury. The Tudor monarchs sent to prison jurors who refused to convict, and Napoleon caused them to be selected by his agents. However clear most of these truths may seem to be, they do not command universal assent; and in France, at least, trial by jury is still but imperfectly understood. If the question arises as to the proper qualification of jurors, it is confined to a discussion of the intelligence and knowledge of the citizens who may be returned, as if the jury was merely a judicial institution. This appears to me the least important part of the subject. The jury is preeminently a political institution; it should be regarded as one form of the sovereignty of the people; when that sovereignty is repudiated, it must be rejected, or it must be adapted to the laws by which that sovereignty is established. The jury is that portion of the nation to which the execution of the laws is entrusted, as the legislature is that part of the nation which makes the laws; and in order that society may be governed in a fixed and uniform manner, the list of citizens qualified to serve on juries must increase and diminish with the list of electors. This I hold to be the point of view most worthy of the attention of the legislator; all that remains is merely accessory. I am so entirely convinced that the jury is preeminently a political institution that I still consider it in this light when it is applied in civil causes. Laws are always unstable unless they are founded upon the customs of a nation; customs are the only durable and resisting power in a people. When the jury is reserved for criminal offenses, the people witness only its occasional action in particular cases; they become accustomed to do without it in the ordinary course of life, and it is considered as an instrument, but not as the only instrument, of obtaining justice. When, on the contrary, the jury acts also on civil causes, its application is constantly visible; it affects all the interests of the community; everyone cooperates in its work; it thus penetrates into all the usages of life, it fashions the human mind to its peculiar forms, and is gradually associated with the idea of justice itself. The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and man. If it had been as easy to remove the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have perished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that period save the liberties of England. In whatever manner the jury be applied, it cannot fail to exercise a powerful influence upon the national character; but this influence ts prodigiously increased when it is introduced into civil causes. The jury, and more especially the civil jury, serves to communicate the spirit of the judges to the minds of all the citizens; and this spirit, with the habits which attend it, is the soundest preparation for free institutions. It imbues all classes with a respect for the thing judged and with the notion of right. If these two elements be removed, the love of independence becomes a mere destructive passion. It teaches men to practice equity; every man learns to judge his neighbor as he would himself be judged. And this is especially true of the jury in civil causes; for while the number of persons who have reason to apprehend a criminal prosecution is small, everyone is liable to have a lawsuit. The jury teaches every man not to recoil before the responsibility of his own actions and impresses him with that manly confidence without which no political virtue can exist. It invests each citizen with a kind of magistracy; it makes them all feel the duties which they are bound to discharge toward society and the part which they take in its government. By obliging men to turn their attention to other affairs than their own, it rubs off that private selfishness which is the rust of society. The jury contributes powerfully to form the judgment and to increase the natural intelligence of a people; and this, in my opinion, is its greatest advantage. It may be regarded as a gratuitous public school, ever open, in which every juror learns his rights, enters into daily communication with the most learned and enlightened members of the upper classes, and becomes practically acquainted with the laws, which are brought within the reach of his capacity by the efforts of the bar, the advice of the judge, and even the passions of the parties. I think that the practical intelligence and political good sense of the Americans are mainly attributable to the long use that they have made of the jury in civil causes. I do not know whether the jury is useful to those who have lawsuits, but I am certain it is highly beneficial to those who judge them; and I look upon it as one of the most efficacious means for the education of the people which society can employ. What I have said applies to all nations, but the remark I am about to make is peculiar to the Americans and to democratic communities. I have already observed that in democracies the members of the legal profession and the judicial magistrates constitute the only aristocratic body which can moderate the movements of the people. This aristocracy is invested with no physical power; it exercises its conservative influence upon the minds of men; and the most abundant source of its authority is the institution of the civil jury. In criminal causes, when society is contending against a single man, the jury is apt to look upon the judge as the passive instrument of social power and to mistrust his advice. Moreover, criminal causes turn entirely upon simple facts, which commonsense can readily appreciate; upon this ground the judge and the jury are equal. Such is not the case, however, in civil causes; then the judge appears as a disinterested arbiter between the conflicting passions of the parties. The jurors look up to him with confidence and listen to him with respect, for in this instance, his intellect entirely governs theirs. It is the judge who sums up the various arguments which have wearied their memory, and who guides them through the devious course of the proceedings; he points their attention to the exact question of fact that they are called upon to decide and tells them how to answer the question of law. His influence over them is almost unlimited. If I am called upon to explain why I am but little moved by the arguments derived from the ignorance of jurors in civil causes, I reply that in these proceedings, whenever the question to be solved is not a mere question of fact, the jury has only the semblance of a judicial body. The jury only sanctions the decision of the judge; they sanction this decision by the authority of society which they represent, and he by that of reason and of law. The jury, then, which seems to restrict the rights of the judiciary does in reality consolidate its power; and in no country are the judges so powerful as where the people share their privileges. It is especially by means of the jury in civil causes that the American magistrates imbue even the lower classes of society with the spirit of their profession. Thus the jury, which is the most energetic means of making the people rule, is also the most efficacious means of teaching it how to rule well.}} Mr. President, de Tocqueville contributed a great deal to literature and to society. He was a Frenchman who came to our country and studied our form of government. He was so impressed that he wrote the chapter on trial by jury, in which he emphasized the fact that the jury is the heart of the administration of justice in a democracy. On Friday, July 5, 1957, there was printed in the State, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C., an article quoting the then president of the American Bar Association, Mr. David F. Maxwell, on the subject of jury trials. I believe Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Philadelphia bar, of which our distinguished Presiding Officer [Mr. {{sc|Clark}}] is also a member. I am sure that the Presiding Officer, as well as the Senate, will be interested in what Mr. Maxwell had to say on the subject of jury trials, and that the views expressed by him will be of interest to everyone who believes in constitutional government. I read as follows: {{smaller block|The president of the American Bar Association today answered charges that trial by jury is an outmoded, time-consuming process which can be replaced by more efficient legal procedure. David F. Maxwell, of Philadelphia, who heads the lawyers organization, said instead that jury trials are the ultimate protection against invasion of personal freedom. He spoke at the diamond jubilee celebration of the State Bar of Texas. “Too many persons today are prone to view trial by jury solely as a factfinding device, and hence expendable, if as good or better a method can be devised,” he said. These critics are influenced, Maxwell said, by the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote that an experienced judge should be able to represent the commonsense of the community far better than the average jury. The Pennsylvania attorney said, “Such a contention presupposes the ability of the trial judge to discard foibles and prejudices built up within himself through his personal experience and background,” adding that a group of average citizens can mete out more even justice than can the most competent and experienced judge. “So let us in this country take warning,” he said. “The jury alone is able to function as the thin wedge of reserved power that separates our system of law from the monolithic, totalitarian despotism behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.”}} Mr. President, an editorial appeared in the Greenville (S. C.) News of June 6, 1957. It is entitled “Jury Trial Is at Heart of Rights Issue” and has this to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|The day after it was reported from Washington that the administration would protest the southern claim that the so-called civil-rights bill would deny the right to trial by jury, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate approved an amendment intended to guarantee that right to persons who might come under an injunction authorized in the proposed law. In his several appearances before the Senate and House committees studying the various proposals, Attorney General Brownell tried to claim that a trial by jury would not be denied. He had rough going, and at times was downright evasive, when Senator {{sc|Sam. J. Ervin}}, of North Carolina, began to cross-examine him on his statements. Senator {{sc|Ervin}}, an eminent lawyer and a former member of his State’s supreme court, is of the opinion that trial by jury not only would not be guaranteed under the bills as submitted, but could be denied. Certainly, it would be possible for the courts to deny a jury hearing and a judge, if he chose, could sit in judgment on the testimony as well as the law. Speaking for the administration, Attorney General Brownell is taking his case to the House of Representatives, but the action of the Senate committee on Monday indicates that even a number of northern Democrats and Republicans have been convinced of the facts. The jury trial issue came up in this way: Among the bills included in the civil rights packages (various versions of which have been offered by the administration and by individuals and groups of Democratic and Republican Members of Congress) is one which would set up a special civil rights division of the Department of Justice. It would be manned by a number of assistants to the Attorney General and would have the authority to initiate civil suits against persons accused of violating the civil rights of others or whom it might have reason to believe were about to violate such rights. (At present, it is a criminal offense to violate the civil rights of another. But a person accused of violating such laws has the right to be arraigned before a grand jury and to be tried by a petit jury.) The administration proposal—and members of both parties have supported this or made similar proposals of their own—is to transfer civil rights cases from the criminal to the civil side of the Federal courts. The Government itself would bring such suits, with or without the request of the allegedly injured persons. The Government could ask for and obtain an injunction forbidding anyone to do certain things, such as to refuse a voting certificate to a certain person or to oppose an integration order issued against a certain school. Such action on the part of the defendant might be a violation of an injunction or it might be a violation of a criminal law on civil rights. But in such cases, the Government would bring the individual before the judge on a charge of contempt. And the judge could convict and sentence the individual without a trial by jury. That is what prompted the southern amendment to the bill aimed at assuring a jury trial. And that is the principle Mr. Brownell is assailing in his statements to Congress. He does not deny that trial by jury would be denied the defendants. He merely says the amendment would make the bill ineffective and would weaken the power of the Federal courts to enforce their orders. He says this power to punish for contempt has long been available to the Government in other Federal cases. That much is true. When the Government brings a civil suit and obtains an injunction, contempt can be adjudged and punished without a jury. But these are cases entirely different from those Mr. Brownell proposes to bring in the name of civil rights. In this instance, Mr. Brownell is trying to do in a roundabout way what the Constitution forbids him to do directly; that is, try and convict a person for an alleged crime without a jury.}} Mr. President, here is an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of April 17, 1957. It is entitled “Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} Understands Threat to Liberty in Civil-Rights Bill” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Speaking at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society in Charleston, March 18, 1947, Senator {{sc|Joseph C. O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, stressed the fact that the United States has repudiated the doctrine of arbitrary power. This week, 10 years after he made this statement, Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} gave evidence that he believes what he said. The Democratic Senator lined up with southern critics of the so-called civil-rights bill. He said he was in favor of a civil-rights bill but one that is conceived in justice and freedom rather than in any thought of punishment. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} told reporters that the proposed Presidential Civil Rights Commission to investigate complaints of civil-rights violations could easily do more harm than good. And with respect to another part of the bill vigorously opposed by southern Senators, he said, “I don’t think we should be afraid of a jury trial in matters of this kind.” In announcing his stand on the legislation, he said that the South has made many striking advances in racial relations, while such relations in some other parts of the country have worsened. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}’s stand on the civil-rights bill is of major significance. His statement shows that the South is gaining ground in its battle to convince other regions that the force bills are a threat to the liberties of all Americans. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is not a western conservative like, say, Senator {{sc|Barry Goldwater}}, Republican, of Arizona, who might be expected to line up with southern conservatives. The Senator from Wyoming is a western liberal and an old-time supporter of the New Deal. Hence his acceptance of some of the southern constitutional arguments is all the more meaningful. If Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is convinced that the right to jury trial and other parts of our heritage are being threatened by the civil-rights bill, the likelihood of convincing other northern and western Senators is considerable. In order to overcome the propaganda barriers of the NAACP and convince these Senators, the South must continue to argue its case—and on the highest level. Senator {{sc|Sam Ervin}} of North Carolina has done especially fine work this session in accomplishing just that. The other task facing southerners is that of insisting on respect for law and order throughout our region. The enemies of the South must not have any excuse for urging Federal intervention. Hoodlumism must be put down. The ignorant elements who join the Ku Klux Klan must be made to realize they are under the eyes of local and State police. Responsible men must stay active in movements such as the citizens council, and prevent infiltration by troublemakers or hotheads. If the South can speak with dignity in Washington and act with honesty and good sense at home, there will be more Senator O’Mahoneys who will realize southerners are fighting the good fight for American liberties.}} Mr. President, here is another article from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Trial by Jury Right of All Americans” and it appears in the June 5, 1957, issue of the News and Courier, and has this to say: {{smaller block|A guaranty of trial by jury, squeezed into a civil-rights law by vote of a Senate subcommittee, has been hailed as a southern victory. This victory—though it is little more than solace in a string of defeats—in fact belongs to the American Republic. Southerners are not alone in danger. If the Federal Government can deprive southerners of the right of trial by jury, on the ground that they are unfair to Negroes, it can do the same to citizens of other regions on equally flimsy grounds. Thanks to the NAACP and its political allies, defense of Negroes’ civil rights is popular today. Even at the sacrifice of rights of all citizens, restrictive laws have won serious support. The News and Courier finds biting irony in the need for Congress to guarantee the right of trial by jury. Americans have been brought up in the belief that the United States Constitution meant what it said in guaranteeing them this right. Nowadays, the ruling clique no longer trusts ordinary people to govern themselves. Juries, they fear, will bring in unjust verdicts. The bosses prefer to entrust such delicate matters as civil rights to hand-picked Federal judges, who are screened by the Department of Justice and appointed by the President. With both national parties committed to the NAACP program, no lawyer who takes a strong stand against that program stands much chance of appointment. As older judges die or retire, Attorney General Brownell will make sure, insofar as he is able, that replacements have a “liberal” view of race. With administration of election laws removed from the hands of elected State officials and placed under Federal appointees, government is being removed ever further from the people. The jury system, safeguard of Anglo–Saxon liberty, may yet be a victim of alien notions now gathering power in our Republic.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the May 10, 1957, issue of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “The Civil-Rights Fight and Trial-by-Jury Issue” and was written by the distinguished southern newspaperman, Dr. John Temple Graves. Here is what it has to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|{{bc|<poem>{{fqm|“}}Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight * * *”</poem>}} Time accommodates. Its comment on jury trials last week overlooked the Federal march of time. Admitting that the trial-by-jury issue has come to dominate the civil-rights fight, the magazine pontificated that “the contempt citation is the judiciary’s historic enforcement tool.” It avowed that “jury trials in contempt cases have absolutely no basis in equity or constitutional law and precious little legislative sanction.” The trick in this extraordinary statement is in Time’s small print at the bottom of the page. It explains that “with a single exception (the Norris–La Gaurdia Act covering labor disputes) trial by jury has never been required in contempt cases to which the United States has been a party.” With the United States Government proposing now to be a party to just about everything in heaven, earth, and the waters beneath—a new situation exists. The Constitution loves the principle of trial by jury and says so over and over again. That great basic principle, rather than any technicality, is what is involved for the South. Call it contempt or something else, let the Government be a party or not a party, what concerns us and what concerned the makers of the Constitution is that citizens in handcuffs shall not be adjudged by those who put the handcuffs on them, that the right of an accused to be properly tried in the Anglo–Saxon ideal shall not be abridged in the name of contempt or participation of the Government. The Constitution speaks for this principle in article 3. The fifth amendment speaks for it, and the sixth, and the seventh. Nothing in the whole instrument is more emphatic.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the April 8, 1957, issue of South, the news magazine of Dixie. It is entitled “Force Bill ‘Liberals’ Would Kill Jury Trial.” Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|It is incredible that those who like to boast that they are liberals and protectors of individual rights are crying the loudest for the currently misnamed civil-rights legislation which would deny alleged violators the right to trial by jury. The politically inspired anti-South force bill package has induced such a state of hypnosis in the self-styled liberals that they want to replace constitutional guarantees of civil liberties with their own false notions of civil rights. If the question of race were not at issue, the very people who are pressing for passage of this abominable travesty on constitutional principle would be the first to denounce it for discarding the sacred right of trial by jury. At the outset the legislation violates the rights spelled out in article III., section 3, and by the seventh amendment, one of the historic ten making up the Bill of Rights. It would empower the United States Attorney General to seek injunctions against persons suspected of being about to violate the so-called civil-rights measure. Then a Federal judge, acting also as prosecutor and jury, would decree a whole community or State in contempt. An individual cited for contempt would be tried without a jury by the judge who cited him. The proponents of this evil proposal know exactly what they are doing. By design they are taking away the right of jury trial. In fact, they are bold to say that if they did not set aside the right of trial by jury, they could not get convictions in the South. To allow jury trials, they say, would be to gut the bill. Attorney General Brownell is horror-struck at the thought that the no-jury-trial provision be stricken. President Eisenhower, who violates a campaign pledge made at Miami by pushing this legislation, says he would have to get Brownell’s opinion as to whether to sign or veto a civil-rights bill containing the assurance of jury trial in contempt cases. The civil strife proponents protest that this guaranty—in the Constitution which Eisenhower, Brownell, and all Congressmen are sworn to uphold—would cripple the bill. Has the President so soon forgotten that he said at Miami, 2 weeks before the election, that civil-rights problems should be handled to the greatest extent on a local and State basis? Surely our liberals know that Hitler, Mussolini, and all tyrants from the time of King John (until forced to sign the Magna Carta) opposed jury trials because they would cripple their programs.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the April 14, 1957, issue of the Greenville, S. C., News. It is entitled “Jackie Robinson on Meet the Press: Negro Athlete Favors Jury Trials” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Jackie Robinson, Negro baseball star, when asked if he favored jury trials for civil-rights defendants, said Sunday night he would personally prefer a jury trial. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People strongly opposes a jury trial guaranty in criminal injunction cases arising under the bill. Robinson is leading the NAACP’s freedom-fund campaign for a million dollars to attain first-class citizenship for all members. The former Brooklyn Dodger told an NBC Meet the Press television panel that he did not know what the million dollars would be spent for—possibly for lawsuits against school segregation. He said he favored the civil-rights bill but knows very little about it. Frank Van Der Linden, this newspaper’s Washington correspondent, asked the questions about the civil-rights bill.}} This is a man, Mr. President, who favors the civil-rights bill, but even he says he favors a trial by jury. That is what the House did on this so-called compromise. In effect, they have nullified the right of trial by jury. There are very, very few instances in which a judge, when he finds a man guilty of contempt, would give a sentence of more than 45 days in prison or a fine of more than $300. That simply means the practical effect is that the jury trial has been completely nullified. As I have said earlier, and as I will say later in my address, the right of jury trial is something the Constitution grants to the citizens of the United States. The Congress does not have the authority to take the jury trial away from the people of America. Mr. President, I have an excerpt from an editorial from the August 26, 1957, issue of the Columbia (S. C.) Record. It is entitled “Jury-Trial Compromise No Compromise,” and this is what it has to say: {{smaller block|The “compromise” on the jury-trial amendment to the civil-rights bill, worked out between the House and Senate leaders of both parties, is anything but a genuine compromise. It is a nullification of the jury-trial principle, for which the southern Democrats fought so valiantly in the Senate. The amendment written into the bill by the Senate provided that in all cases of criminal contempt defendants should be entitled to jury trials, guaranteed by the Constitution to all persons accused of crime. This applied not only to criminal contempt charges growing out of voting-right cases, but also to other criminal contempt proceedings as well. The so-called compromise allows jury trials only in voting-rights cases and then only after a defendant has been tried and convicted without a jury trial and sentenced to more than 45 days’ imprisonment and a $300 fine. In such a case the defendant could ask for a jury trial and the case would then be tried ''de novo'' before a jury. But no jury, of course, could try such a case ''de novo'' in fact. Every juror would know that the defendant had been found guilty by a judge and given more than a minimum sentence. This is a condition precedent to a jury trial in these voting-right cases. And no jury trial under such circumstances is anything approaching the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the August 25, 1957, issue of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Jury Trial ‘Compromise’ Is False Bait in Wicked Trap for Liberty,” and here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|A proposed compromise now pending in Congress is as wicked and immoral, in our opinion, as total denial of trial by jury under Federal election laws. Reports from Washington indicate a likelihood that the civil rights force bill may be rammed through Congress with this compromise to grease the way. Perhaps the northern scrambles for Negro votes and their “liberal” southern allies have the power in Congress to enact this hateful law. They should not get even silent support from anyone who loves the American Republic. The compromise is really no compromise at all. It would grant the opportunity to seek a new trial before a jury by a defendant in an election case who had received a sentence greater than a $1,000 fine or 45 days in jail.}} The amount there, incidentally, Mr. President, should be corrected. Instead of a $1,000 fine, it should be a $300 fine. {{smaller block|But the size of a fine and the duration of imprisonment are not the key issue in this legislation. Penalties may be amended once the principle is set up. Besides, imprisoning State election officials even for a short time could rig the outcome of voting. The key issue here is whether the liberty of a citizen, and the constitutional rights of the States to conduct free elections, should be sacrificed for the sake of current political advantage of national parties and politicians.}} As I have said before, Mr. President—to digress there—the only purpose of this so-called right-to-vote bill is to advance the cause of the national political parties with the minorities and to advance the cause of certain politicians. If it were not for the purpose of both parties playing to the minorities and advancing the cause of certain politicians to high offices, I do not believe this bill would ever have been introduced. It is a disgrace to the United States even to have the Congress consider such an abominable and obnoxious bill. {{smaller block|Behind this force bill lies a game of power politics. Both national parties are struggling to control the votes of herded Negroes in big northern cities and their liberal allies. These bloc voters are believed to hold the balance of political power in the United States. Buried beneath the nauseating political greed that has produced this force bill are principles once dear to Americans. The bill has many of the earmarks of totalitarian government that the Constitution was built to prevent.}} Among these earmarks are Federal control of elections, seizing the power of the ballot box from the people most likely to be affected; substitution of judges for juries in enforcement of the law; and secrecy in working up prosecutions. The bill would set up a powerful commission on the phony pretense of guarding voting rights of minority groups. This Commission’s actions would be shielded from public view. Persons are forbidden under penalties to make known what it is doing. The Star Chamber—a tyrannous device once used by English Kings—thus would be imposed for the first time on the United States. Southerners may be overwhelmed by superior force, but they should go down fighting every step of the way. In honorable defeat they may sound an alarm to fellow Americans not yet awake to dangers to the Republic. Passage of the civil-rights force bill would be a defeat for all citizens of whatever race or region, for it would help to set the stage for dictatorship and oppression. The compromise on which passage now seems to hinge is only a deceptive detail in a dirty business.}} Mr. President, I have here an excellent editorial from the Washington Evening Star of July 12, 1957. It is an editorial full of quotes, but the editor made his point well in this editorial without even having to insert his own comments. Here is what the editorial says: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Brownell}} ''v.'' {{sc|Norris}}}} Attorney General Brownell (in a letter explaining the civil-rights bill): “Enactment of legislation providing for jury trial in contempt cases arising out of governmental litigation would undermine the authority of the Federal courts by seriously weakening their power to enforce their lawful orders. The effect of adopting current proposals for jury trial would be to weaken and undermine the authority of the Federal courts by making their every order, even when issued after due hearing and affirmed on appeal, reviewable by a local jury. * * * “Furthermore the proposed amendment to existing procedures that is being advocated under the innocuous slogan of jury trial would permit practical nullification of the effectiveness of the proposed civil-rights legislation. The enforcement of any court order may require prompt and vigorous action if it is to be effective. Prompt action will often be vital in civil-rights cases, especially election cases, where the registration period or the election may pass while enforcement is delayed. The injection of a jury trial between an order of a court enjoining discrimination against Negroes in an election, and the enforcement of that order would provide numerous opportunities for delay beyond the time when the order could have practical effect.” The late Senator George W. Norris (insisting on the right of trial by jury, by Congressional enactment, in every case of indirect contempt): “I agree that any man charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.”}} I wish to repeat that statement. He said: {{smaller block|I agree that any many charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.}} Under the proposed compromise amendment which came from the House, the people will not get a jury trial. In 99 percent of the cases the judge will sentence people without a jury trial. It is said, “Well, they are able to get a jury trial if the fine is more than $300 or if the imprisonment is for more than 45 days.” That is not the point. The point is that in 99 percent of the cases the compromise would deny to the citizens a jury trial, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Congress should not be a party to violating the Constitution of the United States by passing the compromise amendment. I continue to read from the editorial: {{smaller block|“It is no answer to say that there will sometimes be juries which will not convict. That is a charge which can be made against our jury system. Every man who has tried lawsuits before juries, every man who has ever presided in court and heard jury trials, knows that juries make mistakes, as all other human beings do, and they sometimes render verdicts which seem almost obnoxious. But it is the best system I know of. I would not have it abolished; and when I see how juries will really do justice when a biased and prejudiced judge is trying to lead them astray I am confirmed in my opinion that, after all, our jury system is one which the American people, who believe in liberty and justice, will not dare to surrender. I like to have trial by jury preserved in all kinds of cases where there is a dispute of facts.”}} Mr. President, I have before me an editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) News of March 29, 1957, entitled “How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?” It reads: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?}}}} Rather smugly, perhaps, we Americans have taken for granted our right to a trial before a jury when we stand accused of violating the law. So fixed in our system of jurisprudence and our common concepts of justice is the jury trial that few of us ever have stopped to consider the difference between having our guilt or innocence determined by a group of ordinary citizens and having a judge, a creature of the Government, mete out justice singlehandedly, as he alone sees it. Article III., section 2 of the United States Constitution, says that “the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment, article VI. of the Bill of Rights, spells out further the right to the accused in criminal proceedings “to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. * * *” It goes on to guarantee the accused the right to be informed specifically of the charges against him, to confront the witnesses against him, to subpena witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel. The seventh amendment, article VII. of the Bill of Rights, provides that in suits at common law the right of trial by jury shall be preserved. One would think that, with all these references in the Constitution, the right to a jury trial would be secure. But liberal elements, including our own Department of Justice, advocating passage of proposed civil-rights legislation are teaching us that this basic right is not so secure as we might have thought. For the bills now before the Congress would, in fact, deny persons accused of violating the civil rights of others the right of a trial by a jury of citizens of their State and district. And the NAACP and Attorney General Brownell are insisting on this provision of the bill. Attempts of southern Senators and Congressmen to write into it a guaranty of that right have thus far been beaten down. If the bill is enacted, the Government would be empowered to bring civil, rather than criminal charges, against an individual accused of violating someone else’s rights. He would be prosecuted by a Government attorney before a Federal judge, who might be sent in from outside his State, who would pass on the facts as well as the law and would pass sentence. The accused would be just as apt to go to jail on the civil charge as he would if he were charged with a criminal offense in which the jury trial would be guaranteed. Indeed, the chances of his going to jail might be even greater. But that is only part of it. The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint. If the individual did complain, the Government would bear the whole cost of prosecuting his case. The defendant, on the other hand, would find himself faced with the necessity of hiring a lawyer and, perhaps, of going through a long series of court proceedings that could very well break him financially. This could become vicious persecution instead of reasonable prosecution. This threat of persecution is no less real in another phase of the proposed civil-rights legislation relating to the creation of a commission empowered to investigate alleged incidents of discrimination, economic boycotts, and the like. If this plan became a reality, a citizen accused of discriminating against a member of a minority, or of applying economic pressure against him, could be ordered to report to a place in Washington at a given time and be subjected to an investigation. His need for counsel and, hence, the expense of defending himself, could be just as great as it would be if he were accused of some crime. All of this is being proposed in the name of civil rights by persons calling themselves liberals. How can we create rights by destroying rights? And how liberal is it?}} Mr. President, I wish to repeat a paragraph in the editorial which I believe is most important. It should appeal to every lawyer, and, in fact, to every citizen. It reads: {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.}} Mr. President, I believe we are setting a very dangerous precedent when the Government can bring suits of the kind provided in the civil-rights bill, even if an individual does not complain. The Government can file a suit in behalf of an individual, even if the individual has not complained, and it can bring a suit for an individual who has complained. In either case, the Government can substitute its name in behalf of the defendant in bringing the case. Furthermore, the Government would bear the cost of prosecuting the case. The poor defendant must pay his own expense. If an individual wishes to bring a case in court, why should he not pay his own expense? Why should the Federal Government bear the expense of a person whose statement may be true or which may not be true? I can foresee untold litigation. I can see all kinds of fabrications being made in order to have cases brought. It is a dangerous bill, Mr. President. It is far more dangerous than I believe the average man on the street has been able to understand. The average man in the street does not realize what is in the bill. I cannot imagine why Members of Congress would even consider passing such a bill. Again I say that it would not even have been introduced, in my opinion, or given any consideration at all, if it were not purely a political bill. Mr. President, I have an editorial published in the Greenville (S. C.) News of February 26, 1957, entitled “Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty.” {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty}}}} ({{sc|Editor’s Note}}.—The following editorial is taken from a statement prepared by the editor of the News at the request of the Governor of South Carolina. The statement is to be offered to the subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee this afternoon by representatives of this State who are appearing in opposition to the civil-rights bills.) The civil-rights bills of 1957, like those proposed during the last 20 years and more by individuals of both parties and by administrations of both parties, are anachronistic. An anachronism is something that is misplaced in time. In this instance, it is a throwback to a more primitive age which is, at best, a misfit and, at worst, a destructive force in the age in which it occurs. And when intelligent and otherwise dedicated men ignore more pressing and more serious problems and pass up greater opportunities for service to deliberately create such an anachronism, the result is bound to be tragic. Even if we could assume, which we cannot, that the broad and untested powers these proposed laws would confer on an already oversized and unwieldy Federal bureaucracy would always be wisely and fairly administered, the need for them, if it ever existed, has long since passed. The purposes now claimed for them have been better served by processes springing from the people themselves than ever they can be by pressure and threat of punishment imposed upon the people by an omnipotent and omnipresent “Big Brother” sort of government. Furthermore, the instruments now proposed to protect liberty and to uplift men are such as to be capable of being used to destroy liberty and to oppress men. To appreciate the origin of the civil-rights bills and the natural resistance to them in many parts of the country, especially the South, one must consider them in their proper perspective with past history and present trends. To put it bluntly, this legislation grows out of a latter-day extension of the overzealous efforts of the abolitionists, who profited and were exalted during the era preceding the War Between the States. It is being pushed in the same sort of spirit that motivated the vengeant and vindictive planners and executors of the reconstruction. Not even during the tragic and oppressive reconstruction did a Congress, which was dominated by radicals and in which the conquered South had few friends and spokesmen, see fit to enact such laws as now proposed. There was military occupation and corrupt government imposed from Washington, but there was no permanent board of inquisitors that could be turned into an agency of harassment and intimidation. There was injustice, but there was no permanent overturning of the processes of the courts. Purged by bloodshed of the sin of slavery, which was not his alone, nor his country’s alone, the southern white resisted the reconstruction. He resisted it because he feared, with justification, that it was intended to take from him in order to give to the Negro. He resists court-decreed integration and the civil-rights proposals for the same reason—again with justification for his fears. {{c|{{asc|NEGRO IS MISLED}}}} The Negro was misled in those days, and he is being misled now. The end of the abominable institution of slavery was inevitable, and it could have been accomplished without fratricide and without threatening the Union and creating abiding bitterness. At its end, the Negro was led to believe he could switch from the status of slave to that of master. In some instances, for a time, he did. In others, he was promised “40 acres and a mule,” but more often than not he didn’t know what to do with the 40 acres and he never got the mule. The Negro again is being falsely led to believe that integration will solve all of his remaining problems and that all he needs to realize the millennium is a few more court decrees and Federal laws. He has been led to believe that political largesse will bring to him those things that he can best realize by earning and exercising the rights and privileges already available to him. Until fairly recent decades, southern whites and Negroes engaged in a pathetic sort of competition for the lesser degree of poverty, but they have made progress together and they have achieved a mutual understanding. Education and a rising prosperity were easing the old bitterness and misunderstanding and improving relations between the races at a rate that has been positively amazing. The tragedy of this era is that, since 1954, with the Supreme Court decision in the school cases, and especially since the renewal of agitation of civil-rights legislation with almost virulent vigor, this progress has been slowed down. And the Negro stands to lose the most. The bitterness and the old suspicions are being revived. A few years ago in a prosperous South Carolina industrial city, a joint committee of white and Negro citizens conducted a survey of the needs of the Negro community, ranging from health and housing to transportation and recreation. Much progress came of it. Also, a few years ago, with the help of the newspapers and interested white citizens, certain racial barriers in the public hospital were broken down and qualified Negro doctors were granted staff privileges for the first time on full equality with their white colleagues. Along about the same time, the newspapers and interested white citizens campaigned for better housing for Negroes. City substandard housing laws were strengthened and better enforcement machinery established. The improvement in rental property has been marked. Also, it was urged that property be made available to Negroes of means who wanted to build better homes away from congested areas in which Negroes tend to congregate. Subsequently, a fairly exclusive Negro residential section, near white neighborhoods, was started. There were no objections. {{c|{{asc|PROGRESS IS SLOWED}}}} This sort of things would be more difficult now, if not impossible, in no small part because the Negro is reluctant to cooperate. Both he and his white friends are subject to pressure and unpleasantness from radical elements among their respective races. The Negro apparently has been led to believe the moon may be within his grasp; and lawless and more extreme whites have been aroused. In many cities in the South, the newspapers have sought for years to treat the Negro with the dignity any citizen deserves in their handling of the news. Special sections devoted to news of the Negro community, often prepared by Negro reporters, were started. Until recently, there was no protest. Now there are murmurs, direct protests, and anonymous letters. None of this has to do with integration. Neither race is ready for integration, and may never be. But if they become so it will be on the only basis of successful close human association—natural affinity, mutual appreciation, and individual choice. Neither court decrees nor laws can create these conditions. In his speech on conciliation with the American Colonies in 1775, Edmund Burke said, “I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.” With the help of the proposed legislation, and the injunctive process, the Federal courts may one day find such a method, but the result will be the destruction, not the preservation of civil rights. Burke also said in his Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontent in 1770 that, “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” This cause is not the South’s alone. The extension of the judicial process into areas it was not intended to reach and stretching it for purposes it is incapable of serving; the striking down of the police power of the States in field after field; the unprecedented use of the injunctive power without jury trial to punish for contempt persons not before the court; all of these, as able judges and lawyers are solemnly warning, threaten the future security of all Americans. The granting of the powers the Justice Department is now asking can only hasten this process. Even the layman can see that. The proposed commission, with power to investigate and harass at its own will could, in the wrong hands, become an instrument of coercion and intimidation. Like other Americans, no southerner of good conscience condones the denial of rights, either by violation of the law or by threat or violence. But the atmosphere created by agitation is not only inciting lawless elements to violence, but is making such incidents even harder to deal with. Of laws we have aplenty. The Federal Government has ample power to deal with the violations the Attorney General alleges but doesn’t specify. The States have laws against violence, and many of them, like South Carolina, have laws making violation of any citizen’s rights a crime. They should be left free to enforce them.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Orangeburg (S. C.) Times and Democrat of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “On Jury Trials.” This is what it has to say on this subject: {{smaller block|The committee in the Senate which has been considering the civil-rights bill has added an amendment to the bill which would allow persons accused of contempt to be given jury trials. Many Senators who were and are in favor of the civil-rights bill are supporting this amendment. We do not see how Congress can go wrong in providing jury trials for persons accused of contempt. While we do not wish to join in a wholesale assault on the judiciary of this Nation, it is nevertheless true that the judiciary—like the other branches of the Government—must have its limitations. No one branch of our Government functions perfectly, nor is it made up of perfect citizens. The judicial branch has assumed increasing power in recent years and it would be wise to safeguard the right of persons to a trial by jury because of what might follow if this right is denied citizens. It may be that only one issue is involved at present, but the future might well turn up an undesirable situation in which the principle wherein judges who find American citizens guilty of contempt, exercise such unlimited powers concerning various issues and freedom that any bill limiting the right of jury trial would be a tragedy and result in injustice to many Americans. We do not believe that any one section of the country has a monopoly on all the good people in the United States. We believe that trial by jury is the best possible system establishing guilt and that the people themselves, who make up our juries, will come nearer seeing that justice is done than any group, acting individually, no matter how talented the various individuals may be.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Columbia (S. C.) State of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “A Wise Provision,” and here is what it has to say on the question of jury trials: {{smaller block|Administration forces fell before six Democrats and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who insisted upon including in the so-called civil-rights bill a proviso guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused in court in civil-rights cases. In supporting the amendment as a poor substitute for killing the bill, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} explained that the section would give civil-rights defendants the same right now enjoyed by trade unionists in labor injunction cases. The development does not, however, meet with the approval of Attorney General Brownell, who has been playing out of position before now in lobbying for controversial and doubtful legislation, arraying section against section and class against class. He complains the proviso would permit practical nullification of proposed civil-rights legislation. In the words of Orphan Annie, “Would that be bad?” One wonders just what the advocates of such legislation are after. Could they be seeking to destroy the Constitution? Everything considered, the section guaranteeing jury trials to defendants in civil-rights cases follows the orderly procedure defined by the Founding Fathers as to the rights and dignity of the individual. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal triumphs of our Constitution as inherited from Magna Carta. There is no reason why any exception should be made to gratify the unilateral zeal of special interests of self-appointed reregulators.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, of July 10, 1957. Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|A Principle of Rights: South Making Its Point}}}} More Senators, it appears, are seeing the validity of the South’s insistence on trial by jury as a fixed point of law and due process—{{SIC|bone|borne}} of contention with the civil-rights brigade. They are seeing, surely, what logic underscores: that if this principle falls under the impact of biased thinking against the South, it falls for all. It is not, therefore, a regional issue, but national. The southern protest is not addressed to a narrow, selfish view, but to a view exactly as broad as the Constitution—and as far reaching. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, has paid tribute to the fairness of southern colleagues—having spoken out prior to this showdown for the stated right of due process; and recognizing the progress already made, and voluntarily, on race relations. As a further point of edification, the fact of voting rights enjoyed and practiced in the South should be laid before him. Who, influenced by propaganda to the contrary, has bothered to examine the record in State after State? By what process of competent investigation have these civil-rights firebrands arrived at a conclusion of wholesale indictment? Voting is a privilege, as well as a duty, of citizenship, asserted and protected by law. With that principle there can be no quarrel. The issue is invasion by Federal authority, and methods of enforcement begetting strife by the measures of force contemplated in this iniquitous legislation. There are States, outside the South, where people of voting age are denied the right to vote—Indians, for example. Negro citizens do vote, under the same rules of eligibilty applied in the case of white citizens; and if any Senator doubts that, he should come this way and watch. In Tennessee, and other Southern States, he would find Negroes holding public office. In Nashville they elect their own representatives to city council; they have membership on the school board. They staff their schools. They are employed on the police department and the fire department. Facts, it appears, are coming out in the Senate and registering—and they are facts answering organized diatribe; substantiating both the concept of justice and of constitutional law. The South does not stand at the bar of public opinion convicted—just accused. It is not on the defensive. It is defending a basic right of responsible treatment, and the place of that defense is the floor of the Senate. As manifested by the implied readiness of opponents to concede the trial-by-jury point, its stand to date is influencing that decision. It cannot compromise any principle to the detriment of established, constitutional rights, much less yield to the whip of caprice.}} A column written by Dr. John Temple Graves, one of the outstanding men in the South and in the Nation, printed in the Charleston, S. C., News and Courier of July 8, 1957, is entitled “South’s Most Civil Right Is Right To Be Let Alone,” reads as follows: {{smaller block|“The right to be let alone.” That is our most civil liberty. Remember it and be of good cheer as Senators from the South fight against the so-called civil-liberty bill. Civil liberty is indivisible. It is the whole Constitution, the whole ideal. When you sacrifice one part for another you decrease and endanger the total. When the right to jury trial is impeached to save the right to vote there is net loss, and the same loss runs the whole constitutional gamut. Basically, all American rights are civil rights. States’ rights are civil. The rights of Congress against the Supreme Court are civil, and of the executive against each, and vice versa. And when the Federal Government (or the State) invades areas never intended or authorized there is violation of the most civil right of all—the right to be let alone. If the Founding Fathers made a mistake, if they failed to look ahead enough, if they should have anticipated a future so social and interrelated that nothing short of a totalitarian central government and law would serve, we should face it and get a new Constitution. Certainly we should not undertake to cover the situation by ignoring the Constitution in one place and insisting on it in another, sacrificing one civil right to make another safe. Most of us believe no mistake was made, that liberty and justice can still be had in the great terms of the Constitution. If the President could just be reached on this jury-trial issue in the civil-force bill many of us who go on liking him believe he would see the South’s case as the Nation’s. The Baltimore Sun nails it thus: “The injunction contemplated would forbid actions already forbidden under Federal criminal laws. This being so, the injunction procedure is obviously a judicial shortcut, and one which would deprive those cited for contempt of a right which would be guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution (if they) were indicted for the same offense. It is proposed to assure one right—the right to vote—by ignoring another right—the right to a jury trial.” As pointed out here many times, jury trials should be stretched just as far as contempt is stretched, you would think. The civil-rights bill would stretch contempt into areas that ordinarily involve jury trial. It should not be permitted to deny jury trial, therefore, on the plea that contempt cases don’t allow for them.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of July 4, 1957, entitled "“Unless Citizens Fight Against Tyranny Independence Will Perish in the United States of America:” {{smaller block|The 181st anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 today finds independence at low ebb in these United States. There is a real question as to whether Americans of this day are capable of keeping whatever measure of independence is left to them, let alone restoring lost liberties. The original Independence Day was celebrated a long time ago. The national memory of what it means is dim. There is a certain amount of speechifying by political leaders. And the White House will hand reporters a mimeographed Fourth of July statement, written by one of the President’s ghostwriters. But the deep meaning of the day will not be especially clear to millions of Americans who are looking forward to a long weekend at the beach or other pleasure resorts. There is no reason why the Fourth of July should be a long-faced affair. Nor is there any reason why it should be just another holiday—another day for family picnics, parties, and romping in the surf. Except for a few lines of it embodied in newspaper stories, no one will read the Declaration of Independence. And yet our ancestors read it with the greatest care, for it touched their lives. It is an angry document, full of resentment toward a government that was steadily pushing Americans into a corner. Finally, in the Declaration, the people said they had enough. Throughout June 1957 the American people were being pushed into a corner, precisely as the people of the province of South Carolina and 12 other colonies were being pushed in the broiling summer of 1776. No one attacked Sullivan’s Island last month, except possibly mosquitoes. But liberties of South Carolinians and their fellow citizens in 47 States were under attack. Who knows it? Who cares? Today Fort Moultrie, which should be a national shrine, is padlocked and the grounds overgrown with grass. Today, grass is growing over American liberties. Americans cared in 1776. Of George III., the signers said: “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.” And so they submitted the facts. They said that King George “has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation; for depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury; for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments; for suspending our legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.” Does this have a familiar ring? Is not the Congress, on recommendation of the President, preparing a civil-rights bill that would deny trial by jury to some Americans? Isn’t the Supreme Court striking down State laws, abolishing important laws of Congress and altering fundamental forms of our State and Federal governments? Isn’t the Supreme Court legislating school laws for the South? The answer to all these questions is “Yes.” The Declaration of Independence says that it is the duty of a free people, when a design to reduce them to despotism has been perceived, to provide new guards for their future security. That is what Americans living in 1957 must do. There is no need for flag-waving demonstrations—nothing of that sort. All that is needed is for millions of Americans to halt one moment, in the midst of holiday pleasure, to resolve that they will support their elected representatives in setting up new guards against tyranny. Unless there is such a resolve, there won’t be much independence to celebrate in the years ahead.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the July 9, 1957, Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier entitled “People Should Accept No Compromise on States’ Control of Elections:” {{smaller block|Talk about compromise on civil rights force bills before Congress is in the news from Washington. What goes on behind the scenes the public seldom knows at the time, and doesn’t always find out later. We speak with no knowledge other than what we read in press dispatches. The comment of Senator {{sc|Mundt}}, Republican, of South Dakota, who has predicted a compromise in time to let the Senate adjourn by mid-August, is especially interesting. He said the compromise would be one “for which the South can’t vote, but one with which the South can live.” The terms of the compromise would be to guarantee the right of Negro and other minority groups to vote without harassment. Qualified Negroes, like qualified white people, already have a right to vote. Race agitators from time to time dig up cases of alleged intimidation of Negro voters in the South. No doubt there are voting irregularities in the South, as in other regions of the country. In the areas that the News and Courier knows about, Negroes register and vote without hindrance. If there is widespread violation of anybody’s civil rights we are not aware of it. The big question is not so much whether and where violations may occur, but who has authority to enforce guaranties of the rights. Heretofore in our country the States have set up and supervised elections within their borders. We strongly believe that the future of the American Republic depends on saving a balance of power between State and Federal authorities. Control of the ballot and voting procedures is essential to that balance. The force bill now before Congress, generally known as the civil-rights bill, would set up new Federal machinery, armed with power to imprison without trial by jury, to manage racial aspects of elections. It would be a short step to amend this law to put other, perhaps all, election machinery into Federal hands. Thus some of the safeguards—precious few of them remaining—would disappear. Compromise on the force bill is a compromise with freedom. Today the Southern States may seem to be the target. But the danger exists for all 48 States. Perhaps the danger cannot be avoided in the present mood of our Government. Senator {{sc|Mundt}}, in the past a stanch supporter of States’ rights, has forecast a compromise “with which the South can live,” even though it cannot vote for the compromise. The South could not live with Reconstruction after the Civil War. Some of the proposals today seem designed to revive the spirit of Reconstruction. The News and Courier does not believe the South can live with that spirit now any better than it could live with it 80 years ago. For that reason we reject any compromise with basic rights and basic freedom. If the South loses to superior power, either in the form of votes in Congress or any other form of force, let it not be said that the South gave its consent. Someday, if it is not then too late, the rest of the country may come to its senses. The South may be able to hasten that day by resisting wreckers of the Republic. If the people of the United States realized what was being done to their country, they would not offer up the South as a sacrifice, nor compromise with liberty. The South might be able to live with compromise, but not at the same time with pride and self-respect.}} Mr. President, there have been a number of occasions on which I have spoken before the subcommittees of the Committees on the Judiciary of the House and Senate, and on the floor of the Senate, in opposition to the provisions of H. R. 6127 and the other so-called civil-rights bills which were introduced both in the House and in the Senate. The first of these statements was made before the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on February 26. Because a good portion of the statement was made with reference to certain so-called civil-rights bills then being considered, but which are not now before the Senate, I have edited out portions of the statement. I now read my statement as edited. {{smaller block|I am here today to oppose the so-called civil-rights bills. Tyranny by any other name is just as bad. In other countries tyranny has taken the forms of fascism, communism, and absolute monarchy. I do not want to see it foisted on the American people under the alias of “civil rights.” Real civil rights and so-called civil rights should not be confused. Everybody favors human rights. But it is a fraud on the American people to pretend that human rights can long endure without constitutional restraint on the power of government. The actual power of the Federal Government should not be confused with power longed for by those who would destroy the States as sovereign governments. {{c|{{asc|USURPATION BY JUDICIARY}}}} There have been a number of instances of attempted and real usurpation of power by the Federal Government, which these pending bills would attempt to legalize, expand, and extend. The most notorious illustration of this type of usurpation is the May 17, 1954, school segregation decision by the United States Supreme Court. Since that time there have been several other decisions by the Court which I think have wakened people all over the country who previously paid little attention, or cared little, what the result might be in the school segregation cases. There are two recent cases. One arose in Pennsylvania and one in New York. The Pennsylvania case is ''Pennsylvania'' v. ''Steve Nelson'', decided April 2, 1956, dealing with the right of the State to take action against a Communist. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that because there was a Federal sedition law, the State of Pennsylvania had no authority in that field. The laws of 42 States were invalidated by the decision. Even the protest of the Department of Justice that the laws of the States did not interfere with enforcement of the Federal law did not stop the Court. The author of the Federal law, the Honorable {{sc|Howard Smith}}, Of Virginia, has stated there was no intent embodied in the Federal act to prohibit the States from legislating against sedition. The second case to which I refer arose when the city of New York dismissed from employment a teacher who had refused to disclose whether he was a Communist when questioned by duly constituted authority. Here again the United States Supreme Court ruled against the power and authority of the local government contained in the charter of the city of New York. {{c|{{asc|USURPATION BY EXECUTIVE}}}} Now let me refer briefly to some attempts at usurpation of the rights of the States by the executive branch of the Federal Government. Administrators in some Federal departments and agencies have issued directives having the effect of laws which have never been enacted by the Congress. A specific illustration is that of the Civil Aeronautics Administration issuing a directive last year to withhold Federal funds from facilities in the construction of airports where segregation of the races is practiced. There is absolutely no basis in law for this administrative action, but by use of a directive or an edict the administrator effected a result just as though a law had been enacted. Other attempts at Federal interference from the executive branch with the rights of the individual citizen is demonstrated by the Contracts Compliance Commission. This Commission has dictated that contractors working on Federal projects must employ persons of both the white and Negro races, whether the contractors wish to do so or not. The strength of the Commission lies in the power to withhold contracts, or threatening to do so, if a contractor fails to carry out the dictates of the Commission. {{c|{{asc|ATTEMPTED USURPATION BY CONGRESS}}}} I can think of no better {{SIC|ilustration|illustration}} of attempted usurpation of the rights of the States by the legislative branch of the Federal Government than what is going on here now. I believe that the Congress, by attempting to enact these so-called civil-rights bills, is invading the rights of the States. {{c|{{asc|NO DOUBT AS TO CONSTITUTION}}}} Wherever a person lives in this country, whatever political faith he holds, whatever he believes in connection with any matter of interest, he has one firm basis for knowing his rights. Those rights are enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. I believe in that document. I believe that it means exactly what it says, no more and no less. If American citizens cannot believe in the Constitution, and know that it means exactly what it says, no more and no less, then there is no assurance that our representative form of government will continue in this country. I believe that people all over the country are beginning to realize that steps should be taken to preserve the constitutional guaranties which are being infringed upon in many ways. I believe we should also take steps to regain for the States some of the powers previously lost in unwarranted assaults on the States by the Federal Government. {{c|{{asc|STATE OFFICIALS UNDERSTANDING}}}} The administration of laws relating to civil rights is being carried out much more intelligently at the local levels of government than they could ever possibly be administered by edicts handed down from Washington. State officials and county officials know the people and know the problems of those people. Most officials of the Federal Government in Washington know much less about local problems than do the public officials in the States and in the counties. If these so-called civil-rights bills should be approved, then we must anticipate that the Federal Government, having usurped the authority of local government, will try to send Federal detectives snooping throughout the land. Federal police could be sent into the home of any citizen charged with violating the civil-rights laws. If there are constitutional proposals here which any of the States wish to enact, I have no objection to that. Every State has the right to enact any constitutional law which has not been specifically delegated to the Federal Government in the Constitution. On the other hand, I am firmly opposed to the enactment by Congress of laws in fields where the Congress has no authority, or in fields where there is no necessity for action by the Congress. From my observations, I have gained the strong feeling that most of the States are performing their police duties well. I believe that the individual States are looking after their own problems in the field of civil rights better than any enactment of this Congress could provide for, and better than any commission appointed by the Chief Executive could look after them.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question, with the understanding that he will not lose his right to the floor, and the understanding that it will not be considered a second speech or jeopardize the Senator’s right to the floor? Mr. THURMOND. If unanimous consent is granted, under the conditions which the distinguished Senator has outlined, I will be pleased to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from California? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I shall preface my question by this brief statement of fact, namely, since the House has adopted a ''sine die'' adjournment resolution, and there is no fixed period for adjournment, and the Senate can, and in my judgment will, continue in session as long as it is necessary to complete its business, I put these questions in all seriousness to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina: First. What is the Senator’s purpose by his interesting but prolonged remarks? Is it a matter of education of the Senate or of the country? Second. Is it to establish a record of discussion on the floor of the Senate? Third. Is it merely to delay a vote on the civil rights bill, which is the pending business? Fourth. Is it to prevent a final vote on H. R. 6127, the so-called civil rights bill? Fifth. Is it to make friends and to influence other Senators in the southern position? Sixth. Is it to emphasize to the Senate the need for a change, beginning in January, of rule XXII.? There may be other reasons, but I should be very much interested—and I believe the Senate would be interested also—if the Senator from South Carolina would agree to indicate the purpose of his prolonged address. Mr. THURMOND. I would merely say that my purpose in making the extended address is for educational purposes—to educate the Senate and the people of the country. There is no question in my mind that the so-called civil-rights bill violates the Constitution of the United States. I do not believe the Senator was in the Chamber when I spoke earlier and cited a decision pointing out that criminal contempt has been held to be a crime and that under the Constitution of the United States it is provided that a man charged with crime shall get a jury trial. The so-called compromise bill provides that if a person is sentenced by a judge by being fined more than $300 or imprisoned for more than 45 days, he will get a jury trial. The Constitution does not say that. The Constitution provides that if he is charged with a crime, he shall get a jury trial. I believe in the Constitution. I believe that the Constitution is clear. I hope the Senator will take the time one of these days—probably he will not have an opportunity soon—to read the address I have made in which I have gone into these matters and have tried to delineate them and point them out for the benefit of the American people, as well as for the benefit of the Senate. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am confident that the pending bill is a dangerous bill in a number of ways. I have pointed out that it is necessary that every State in the Nation have laws to protect the right to vote. The Senator’s own State of California has such laws. I started with the State of Alabama and read the laws for every State. Those laws were confirmed to be accurate by the Library of Congress. I read the State laws beginning with Alabama and ending with Wyoming. Every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote. I say there is no need for the pending bill. This is a matter that comes under the Constitution, and it should be left to the States. It is a State matter. It is not a Federal matter. Furthermore, the Federal Government has invaded the field. It has already invaded the field. I believe it made a mistake when it did so. I should like to invite the attention of the Senator—again I do not believe he was in the Chamber when I referred to it previously—section 594 of chapter 29 of title 18 of the United States Code. That section provides: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield again under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. That is the Federal law today. If anyone is being denied his right to vote today he has recourse to that statute. If anyone is being denied the right to vote and complains about it, the Justice Department fails to do its duty if it fails to prosecute under that section of the Federal statute. Either that condition exists or there are no just complaints. The Committee on the Judiciary held hearings for months on the question, and it did not have before it one valid complaint. It had some fictitious complaints from a parish in Mississippi. It turned out that they asked a witness to return the next day, but he did not return, and it proved that the whole testimony was a fabrication, according to the chairman of the committee. Therefore, there are State laws which protect the right to vote, and there is a Federal law which protects the right to vote. Under that act, if a man is tried, he would have a right to trial by jury. Under the so-called compromise, if he is tried, he would not have the right of trial by jury if the sentence were less than $300 or if the imprisonment were for less than 45 days. Ninety-nine percent of all the criminal contempt cases would fall within that sphere. I was a circuit court judge for 8 years and heard cases all over South Carolina. I cannot remember the case of even one man who was sentenced by me or by any other circuit court judge in South Carolina for contempt of court for longer than 45 days in jail. Therefore, the effect of the so-called compromise is to deny to the citizens of South Carolina and of the United States the right to a jury trial, as is guaranteed in several places in the Constitution. That is the reason I have made this extended address. It is to call to the attention of the Senate and to the people of the Nation that the pending bill is a dangerous bill. In my opinion, it is purely a political bill. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions as heretofore stated? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I can assure the Senator, whether we make that proviso in our remarks back and forth, the Senator will be fully protected in his rights to the floor. Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield to the Senator from California under those conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I did listen to the earlier part of the Senator’s address. I was in the Chamber at the time. I must confess that for several hours I did get some sleep and was able to freshen up and to change my clothes, and I am now back in the Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. I notice that the Senator looks very fresh at about 6:45 in the morning. Mr. KNOWLAND. Yes. I am glad to be here with the Senator. Of course, the question which obviously disturbed a majority of the two Houses of Congress was that the statutes which are now on the statute books were not effective in protecting those constitutional rights. The Senators who felt that way are just as sincere as the Senator from South Carolina. I know the Senator from South Carolina has a deep conviction and is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. However, I refer to the provisions of section 1 of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, which provides: {{smaller block|The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.}} Section 2 of the 15th amendment reads: {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.}} Both sections point up the fundamental constitutional right of American citizens and clearly underscore the fact that Congress not only has the right, but the responsibility in this field. The Senator may feel that in his State or perhaps in other States—and I have no doubt it is true in many areas of the South—there is no problem relative to the voting rights of American citizens. But at least the predominant opinion in Congress indicates that there is also a strong feeling that in many areas—and this may not be related only to the South, for that matter—the full rights under the 15th amendment are not being effectively implemented. It was for that reason that the House, by a vote, I believe, of more than 2 to 1, and the Senate finally by a very substantial majority, passed the bill, which is now going through another legislative process. It finally came back to the Senate floor after the House had concurred and amended the Senate version, as the House had a right to do. My only point is that obviously the Senate of the United States is going to stay in session and complete work on the proposed legislation. It may sit for the remainder of the week, and it may sit next month and, if necessary, the month after that. I wish to emphasize to the Senator from South Carolina that, so far as the recommendations of the minority leader might be followed—and I know of no difference of opinion so far as the majority is concerned, although I cannot speak for the majority, and I would not attempt to do so—there will be no ''sine die'' adjournment resolution adopted by the Senate which would permit Congress to adjourn the first session of the 85th Congress until we have completed the work on the pending legislation, which is the civil-rights bill, and completed the work on the proposed legislation dealing with the mutual aid appropriation bill. Therefore, there is no fixed hour and date of adjournment. I was wondering, therefore, why the Senator was making his extended address, and that is the reason I asked the questions I asked of him. He said he was making the address for the purpose of an educational campaign, for the benefit of the country and the Senate. I was wondering whether he hoped to prevent passage of the bill or merely delay its passage, or whether he had some other reason in mind. Mr. THURMOND. In answer to the distinguished Senator, I wish to say that I should be highly pleased if the bill did not pass. I should like to ask the Senator this question: Under the statute which I have just read—and that is not a State statute, but a Federal statute, which provides “whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote as he may choose,” and so forth, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both—is there any deficiency in the statute? Is that not as clear as it can be? If anyone interferes with another’s right to vote, or intimidates, or if he threatens or coerces, he shall be punished. Is that not what it says? If that is the case, why does the Senator believe we should have another statute on voting added to it? Is this statute deficient? The Senator says the present laws are defective, as I understand. The statute I have read is a criminal statute. It will punish a guilty person by fining him for as much as $1,000 and could send him to jail for a year. In what respect does the Senator believe the statute is defective? Mr. KNOWLAND. I shall not at this hour get into a detailed legal argument, because I am not a lawyer, but a newspaperman; furthermore, I would not attempt to put myself up against the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, who has been a judge in his own State and has been for a long time a distinguished member of the bar. I have listened to the arguments on the floor of the Senate. I have read a number of the reports and the proceedings, and I have had some discussions with people who are familiar with the circumstances connected with the subject. I do know that those in the Department of Justice who have been concerned with this problem apparently feel that that statute is not effective so far as the constitutional rights of American citizens are concerned. Secondly, I am not in a position to argue with the Senator relative to what the legal definition of coercion is. I do say to the Senator that I believe there are various forms of coercion, some of which might be very difficult to prove in a court of law, but which might still be equally effective in keeping people from exercising their voting rights. The coercion might consist of economic pressure, or there might be some difficulty about finding work in a community or there might be the difficulty of a small merchant maintaining his business. It might be very difficult to trace such things to the fact that a person had tried to go to a voting place on voting day to cast his vote. Nevertheless, such coercion could be quite effective in keeping a person from exercising his right to the voting franchise. It is also true that in the debate which has taken place on the floor of the Senate it was disclosed that in one of the parishes or voting districts in a Southern State which had been mentioned on the floor of the Senate, there had been the situation where certain facts were laid before a grand jury in that particular State, and the facts were very clear, but still no action was taken in that particular situation. I will say to the Senator that it should be remembered that the bill has now been stripped practically to a voting-rights bill. Furthermore, I certainly believe that the fundamental right of an American citizen in this day and age should be protected, because every citizen has the right to vote. If that right is assured to a citizen, in time he may help himself secure the other civil rights to which he is entitled and which are guaranteed to him by the 14th amendment. The bill before us, as I say, is primarily a voting-rights bill. Those who have had some responsibility in this field—and I think some knowledge of it also—feel that the procedure outlined in the bill would at least facilitate the exercise of the voting rights of American citizens in all sections of the country. Mr. THURMOND. I might say to the distinguished Senator that he is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. Even though he is not a lawyer, he knows a statute when he hears one read. The criminal statute I have read is just as plain as any criminal statute can be. I am in favor of having every qualified voter enjoy the right of franchise. I want to say that in my State every qualified voter has that privilege. No one—white, colored, or anyone else—is denied the right to vote in South Carolina. The statute I have read protects people from being coerced and intimidated and threatened in any way. If there is any violation of law now, a person who is discriminated against may go to the Department of Justice, and under the statute I have read a violator of that statute will be either sent to jail or fined or both. What the proposed compromise would do would be to take away that right of trial by jury. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say that both the original bill as passed by the two Houses and the final form now before us are not intended to deprive anyone of his vote, but to encourage the constitutional right of people to enjoy the right to vote. The fact of the matter is that quite a due process procedure is set up. If a person comes forward and alleges that he has been denied the right, there is a procedure set up by which he may go into Federal court, under his constitutional right, under the 15th amendment and the other constitutional rights he has, and make certain allegations. The judge must make certain findings. If he finds the facts are correct, he issues a court order, directed to what we in our State would call the registrar of voters, but what in other States might be the county clerk, or whatever else he might be, and says, in effect, “You are violating the constitutional rights of this man. He is being discriminated against under the laws of this State. Put him on the registration rolls.” If the local official complies with the law and complies with the Constitution, nobody is fined, and nobody goes to jail. It is only if the local official or the local individuals involved in the case ignore the order of the court and, in effect, say that “we will not comply with the order seeking to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens,” that the judge may, under either civil contempt, which may be used in most cases, and may in most cases be effective, or under the criminal contempt provisions, impose the penalties. So this bill is not seeking to punish people. To the contrary, it is seeking to gain for American citizens the very fundamental right to vote. If nobody is denied the right to vote in the State of the Senator from South Carolina, there will not be a single citizen in the State of South Carolina who will be involved in either a civil or criminal contempt. If nobody is being denied the right to vote in any other State, there will not be a single citizen, man or woman, who will be involved in either civil or criminal contempt under this bill. There will not be large numbers of persons who will be fined or jailed for 10 days or 30 days or 45 days, to force compliance with the constitutional rights of American citizens. That is going to be so only if the conditions which the Senator says prevail in his State do not prevail in other areas of the country and large numbers of American citizens are denied their constitutional rights. It seems to me it is all clear and simple. The Senator has nothing to fear in his own State or in any other State, because if nobody is being denied the right to vote, nobody can be punished by either civil or criminal contempt proceedings under the bill. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to say, in reply to that statement, whether a single person in South Carolina would be affected by the bill or not would not change my opinion about the bill, because the bill as passed by the House affects American citizens everywhere. The bill the Senate passed delineated and made a distinction between civil contempt, the purpose of which is to bring about compliance with an order, and criminal contempt, the purpose of which is to punish for a crime. A criminal contempt has been held, in a court decision which I cited earlier today, to be a crime. Criminal contempt is a crime. The bill as passed by the House provides for punishment for criminal contempt and provides that a judge can try the case, in his discretion. The defendant does not get a jury trial for a criminal contempt unless the punishment goes beyond 45 days or beyond a $300 fine. I am not concerned about the people of South Carolina violating the voting rights of citizens, because I do not think anybody in South Carolina is violating anyone’s voting rights. I presume this bill is aimed chiefly at helping the Negroes, is it not, Senator? Mr. KNOWLAND. No. The bill would be aimed at any American citizen, without regard to race, creed, or color, whose voting rights under the 15th amendment would be denied. Mr. THURMOND. As a matter of fact, it is the Negro whom it is chiefly aimed to help. Is that not a fact? Mr. KNOWLAND. I suppose most allegations of a denial of voting rights come from colored citizens of the United States, but I assume the same situation might apply to Indians, in some instances, or might apply to others who might be entitled, under the Constitution, to the right to vote; but it is not aimed at any one race or one section of the country. The Constitution, as the Senator well knows, and I think would not dispute, applies to all 48 States of the Union, and not merely to a part of the Union. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is correct, but I refer to the practical purpose of the bill. I understood that was so admitted, and one reason why the right of trial by jury was attempted to be taken away was that southern juries would not convict in cases involving the right of Negroes to vote. For the Senator’s information, in my State I would like him to know that in the 1952 election President Eisenhower lacked just a few votes of carrying the State. The Negroes voted in heavy numbers. The Negro newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer, of Columbia, S. C., published by and for Negroes, bragged about the fact that they were responsible for winning the State for Stevenson. It said that more than 80,000 of them had voted in that election, and that represented about one-fourth of the entire votes cast in that general election. The Negroes of our State comprise only 40 percent of the population. If they voted to the extent of almost one-fourth of all the votes cast in that election—and they probably voted more, because they admitted they cast that many—think it is indicative that the Negroes are voting in large numbers. Of course, they are not so well qualified to vote as are the White people. I do not know of a Negro in South Carolina who is qualified and wants to vote who is denied that privilege. So Negroes are voting in my State. Mr. KNOWLAND. I might say to the Senator I was in his State in 1952. I happened to travel with then General Eisenhower, who was a candidate for the presidency before he became President of the United States. I attended meetings with the President-to-be. The point I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not dispute the fact, as stated by the distinguished Senator, that a large number—perhaps a good majority—of the Negro citizens of this country or of his State may be registered Democrats. I think they may continue to vote for the Democratic ticket, so far as that is concerned. They may have been responsible, as the Senator says, for having carried South Carolina for Stevenson— Mr. THURMOND. That is what they said. Mr. KNOWLAND. Or, at least, that is what they said; but that would not change my viewpoint in the slightest, as a Republican, if they were entitled as American citizens to vote, even though they were responsible for the defeat of my party in that State. I might say that in the northern areas, the heavily populated areas, with large Negro populations, for the most part Negroes have voted the Democratic ticket, and generally for New Deal candidates, and it certainly is not politically advantageous to my party when they vote that way. That still would not change my viewpoint that, if they, are American citizens and if under the Constitution they are entitled to the right of any other citizen to vote, which the Constitution clearly gives them, both the Senate and the House, as well as the executive branch of the Government and the local public officials and the national public officials, have the responsibility to see that they are not denied the right to vote and to exercise their constitutional rights, whether the citizens may be predominantly Democratic, predominantly Republican, or predominantly Independent. That point is not at issue here. The issue is whether they are entitled, under the qualifications of the State laws, and under the Constitution of the United States, to vote. If they are, they should be assured that every public official who raises his hand to support both the State and National Constitution has the responsibility to see that citizens get the right to vote when they want to exercise it. In this country, we do not have coerced voting, where citizens have to go to the polls. But if citizens want to do so, they should be allowed to do so, without any direct intimidation or without any of the more subtle, indirect intimidations or coercions which sometimes can be practiced, as the distinguished Senator knows. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator if he has had evidence presented to him which has convinced him that there is a need for this bill to be passed, in spite of all the laws the States have to protect the right to vote, and in spite of section 594 of the United States criminal code which protects the right to vote. Has the Senator ever had evidence presented to him that convinced him it is necessary to pass the bill, in spite of the laws of the States and the Federal statutes? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator if I did not feel that it was both necessary and desirable to pass the bill, I would not have supported it. I believe there have been sufficient facts presented to indicate that a bill of this type is both necessary and desirable. I have never taken the position on the floor, or publicly or privately, in which I have made a blanket indictment and stated that southern juries would not convict, because I have the highest respect for the people of the South, for their responsibilities of citizenship, for their loyalty to this country, and for the fact that they have served in uniform side by side with citizens from other sections of the country in fighting off our enemies in the various struggles in which this Nation has been engaged. I have never suggested that there should be a blanket indictment of a whole people under any circumstances. I do not now say that the facts outlined by the Senator from South Carolina, with respect to his own State, are not correct. Of course, I do not know his State as well as does the Senator from South Carolina, but if he tells me that there are no cases where a person is deprived of his right to vote, where a Negro citizen, if he possesses precisely the same qualifications that would be expected of a white citizen— Mr. THURMOND. None that I know about. Mr. KNOWLAND. That he has exactly the same rights to register, exactly the same rights to vote, I take the Senator’s word for it, because I have great respect for him. I will say, however, that in the facts presented by the Attorney General’s office before the committee, relative to another State in the broad general area of the South—I might say the same thing might apply in an area of the North or the West, for that matter, because what we are seeking to protect is the rights of American citizens in all 48 States of the Union—it was shown that large numbers of persons who had been registered were purged from the registration rolls. The predominant number, if not all of the purgees, were members of the Negro race, with very few, if any, members of the white race. Purely on the law of averages, to a reasonable man, one would not have to be a lawyer to know that it does not seem to be a matter of chance. Then when they sought to re-register, according to the facts presented, the local registrar indicated, though there were several thousand of them, he could not register more than 50 a day. That meant those persons had to stand in line for long periods of time, which would naturally be a discouraging thing in trying to get back on the registration rolls. There was used the apparently rather interesting and novel provision of verbal question. I doubt very much whether many, if any, Members of the Senate could have answered some of the questions which were asked. If a question was answered one way, that apparently was not the right answer. If the question was answered the other way, which any reasonable person might have done, that apparently was not the right answer. Perhaps the same position would have been taken by the local registrar if the citizen involved had been of any other race, but, again, to a reasonable person it seems that there was at least an effort made to discourage American citizens from exercising the right of franchise. I again reiterate that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that occurrence did not take place in the State of South Carolina. The Senator has made a very fine statement of the rights the citizens of his State enjoy. I think all Americans will rejoice in that fact. I want to say there is nothing in the proposal before the Senate which will in the least change the power of the States to prescribe the qualifications of their voters. They have that right under our Federal system. I think, however, the States have the obligation not merely to give lip service to, but to follow both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and that whenever such qualifications are prescribed, whatever they may be, they should be applied impartially and equitably to every American citizen, regardless of his race, color, creed, or previous condition of servitude. Those are the words of the Constitution. Those are the words that every citizen occupying a position as a registrar, a county clerk, or a local voting commissioner has a full obligation to comply with. Such persons should not apply one rule to one group of citizens and a different rule to a different group of citizens. If they will apply the laws with equity and with impartiality, then they have nothing to fear in the slightest in the way of either civil or criminal contempt under this bill, at least in my judgment. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator from California one more question, and with that I will desist. Although the Senator is not a lawyer, he is one of the best read men in the United States. I imagine he is an expert on the Constitution, also, because he is a very deep student. I wonder how the Senator could agree to this compromise, which would deprive people in criminal contempt cases of the right to a trial by jury, when the Constitution is so clear on that point? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator that I will leave the matter to the lawyers, to debate later the specific point which the Senator mentions. I, at least, have heard of no section of the country where there is a provision for a trial by jury in an equity proceeding where there is a contempt of the court. Mr. THURMOND. I am speaking of criminal contempt. Mr. KNOWLAND. I know, but I am speaking also of a contempt of the court in carrying out its order in an equity proceeding. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to that I will say to the Senator I agree that in civil contempt cases under the present law the court has the right to use its power to bring about compliance with an order, in civil contempt cases. However, I am speaking of criminal contempt cases, which are provided for in the compromise bill. The bill provides for criminal contempt actions. Criminal contempt is a crime. I have here a decision which sustains that point. Since criminal contempt is a crime, there is a right to a trial by jury. The Constitution of the United States in article III., section 2, says this: {{smaller block|The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases or Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; * * *.}} The sixth amendment reads: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions—}} That is what we are referring to. We refer to a criminal prosecution for criminal contempt. It is a prosecution by the judge, who is the prosecutor, the legislature, the judge, and the jury. The court has held that criminal contempt is a crime, and the Constitution makes reference to all criminal prosecutions. We refer here to a criminal prosecution. The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * *.}} And so forth. In the seventh amendment to the Constitution there is also a reference to a jury trial. The amendment I have read is exactly to the point. If the Senator had provided in the compromise bill that the judge could impose a sentence of imprisonment for 1 day—not 45 days, but even 1 day—or a fine of even $1 in a criminal-contempt case, he would be giving the judge the power to try a man without a jury in violation of the Constitution, even though the punishment would be negligible. What I am opposed to is the fact that the compromise bill, the way it is written and the way it has come to the Senate, violates the Constitution of the United States. I am vitally concerned about that. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator will yield further, then I shall not interrupt him any more. All I can say to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is that the highest law officers of the Government of the United States are the Attorney General of the United States and representatives of the Department of Justice. They, too, have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The most able lawyers in the Department of Justice have looked over the proposed legislation, as well. In their judgment, it is constitutional and it does not violate the Constitution of the United States. The Senator is entitled, of course, to make the assertion that in his judgment the provision is not constitutional. Such arguments come up even before the Supreme Court of the United States, as the distinguished Senator knows, from time to time, as well as before other courts. Sometimes the judges can agree by a unanimous vote as to what they think is constitutional or what they think is unconstitutional. However, over the long period of our history there have been many notable cases relative to the constitutionality of some act of Congress or the constitutional rights of some individual as to which the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest judicial tribunal of the land, has divided on a 5-to-4 decision. The Senator’s assertion that the provision is not constitutional—I am sure the Senator would be the first to admit—does not make it unconstitutional. I quite admit that the assertion of any qualified lawyer on this side, who might make the assertion the provision was constitutional, would not, by that assertion, make it so. Nor would the opinion of the Attorney General make it so. At least I do not want the record to show that merely by having the Senator make the assertion that in his judgment it is not constitutional, necessarily, ''ipso facto'', that assertion makes a fact. Mr. THURMOND. Of course, we remember also that the Attorney General in the original bill wanted to transfer these matters to the equity side of the court to deprive citizens of the right of jury trial. We have to keep that in mind. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the distinguished Senator will yield further, I wish to thank him for his courtesy in yielding. I hope he has enjoyed our discussion as much as I have. I hope perhaps it has been a brief respite to him, under all the circumstances. I would stay to listen to the Senator, but I have a breakfast engagement with the President at the White House. I know under those circumstances the distinguished Senator will excuse me. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to yield to the distinguished Senator, for whom I have such high admiration. Mr. President, I continue to read my statement: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTIES}} Before taking up specific provisions of several of the bills pending before the committee, I should like to read for you two of the basic provisions in the Bill of Rights. The ninth amendment to the Constitution provides: “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” The 10th amendment to the Constitution provides: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Those last two amendments of the Bill of Rights make clear the intent of the Founding Fathers. Their intent was that all rights not specifically listed, and all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government, would be held inalienable by the States, and the people. {{c|{{asc|BILL OF RIGHTS UNALTERED}}}} This basic concept of the Bill of Rights has never been constitutionally amended, no matter what the Federal courts have done, no matter what the executive branch of the Federal Government has done, and no matter what the Congress might have done or attempted to do in the past. The people and the States still retain all rights not specifically delegated to the Federal Government. Let us also consider these proposals from a practical standpoint. What could be accomplished by a Federal law embodying provisions which are already on the statute books of the States that cannot be accomplished by the State laws? I fail to see that any benefit could come from the enactment of Federal laws duplicating State statutes which guarantee the rights of citizens. Certainly the enactment of still other laws not approved by the States could result only in greater unrest than has been created by the recent decisions of the Federal courts. {{c|{{asc|MR. DOOLEY WAS RIGHT}}}} The truth is very much as Mr. Dooley, the writer-philosopher, stated it many years ago, that the Supreme Court follows the election returns. If he were alive today, I believe Mr. Dooley would note also that the election returns follow the Supreme Court. And now it looks as if some people are trying to follow both the Supreme Court and the election returns. Having made these general comments, I would like to comment specifically on some of the pending proposals. First, on the proposal for the establishment of a Commission on Civil Rights. {{c|{{asc|COMMISSION UNNEEDED}}}} There is absolutely no reason for the establishment of such a commission. The Congress and its committees can perform all of the investigative functions which would come within the sphere of constitutional authority. I do not believe the members of any commission, however established, could represent the views of the people of this country as well as the Members of Congress can. I hope that the members of this committee and the Members of the Congress will not permit themselves to be persuaded that anyone else can look after the problems of the people any better, or as well, as the Congress can. Furthermore, there is no justification for an investigation in this field. I hope this committee will recommend against the establishment of such a commission. Another bill would provide for an additional Assistant Attorney General to head a department given by the Attorney General last year. I have searched the testimony given by the Attorney General last year before the committees of the Congress with regard to this proposal, and I have found no valid reason why an additional Assistant Attorney General is needed. I can understand how an additional Assistant Attorney General might be needed if the Congress were to approve a Civil Rights Division and enact some of the other proposals in the so-called civil-rights bills. But they are proposals not dealing with criminal offenses—they deal with efforts of the Justice Department to enter into civil actions against citizens. If the Justice Department is permitted to go into the various States to stir up and agitate persons to seek injunctions and to enter suits against their neighbors, then the Attorney General might need another assistant. However, the Justice Department should avoid civil litigation, instead of seeking to promote it. I hope the members of this committee will recognize this proposal as one which could turn neighbor against neighbor, and will treat it as it deserves by voting against it. {{c|{{asc|WORSE THAN ''EX POST FACTO''}}}} Another proposal of the so-called civil-rights bills is closely related to the one I have just discussed. It would provide that— “Whenever any persons have engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action * * * the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States but for the benefit of the real party in interest, a civil action or other proper proceeding or redress or preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order.” Now that proposal is one which I would label as even more insidious than any ''ex post facto'' law which could possibly be imagined. An ''ex post facto'' law would at least apply to some real act committed by a person which was not in violation of law at the time. The point is, however, in such instance the person would actually have committed the act. This proposal would permit the Justice Department to secure an injunction from a Federal judge or to institute a civil suit on behalf of some person against a second person when the latter had committed no act at all. An injunction might be secured from a Federal judge charging a violation of the law without any evidence that a person even intended to do so. How any person could support by oath a charge as to whether another person was about to engage in violating the law is beyond my understanding. Many of the pioneers who settled this new continent came because they wanted to escape the tyranny of European despots. They wanted their families to live in a new land where everybody could be guaranteed the right to trial by jury, instead of the decrees of dictators. Congress, as the directly elected representatives of the people, should be the last to consider depriving the people of jury trials. We should never consider it at all. But, if this proposal to strengthen the civil-rights statutes is approved, that would be its effect. {{c|{{asc|AGENTS COULD MEDDLE}}}} Under this provision, the Attorney General could dispatch his agents throughout the land. They would be empowered to meddle with private business, police elections, intervene in private lawsuits, and breed litigation generally. They would keep our people in a constant state of apprehension and harassment. Liberty quickly perishes under such government, as we have seen it perish in foreign nations. A further provision of that same proposal would permit the bypassing of State authorities in such cases. The Federal district courts would take over original jurisdiction, regardless of administrative remedies, and the right of appeal to the State courts. {{c|{{asc|STATE COURTS STRIPPED}}}} This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and vest the Federal courts with that authority. Still another proposal among the so-called civil-rights bills would “provide a means of further securing and protecting the right to vote.” I have had a search made of the laws of all 48 States and the right to vote is protected by law in every State. {{c|{{asc|SOUTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION PROTECTS VOTER}}}} In South Carolina, my own State, the constitution of 1895 provides in article III., section 5, that the general assembly shall provide by law for crimes against the election laws and, further, for right of appeal to the State supreme court for any person denied registration. The South Carolina election statute spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court. It also requires a special session of the court if no session is scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election. Article II., section 15 of South Carolina’s constitution, provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of the constitutional provisions, the South Carolina General Assembly has passed laws to punish anyone who shall threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. Anyone who violates any of the provisions in regard to general, special, or primary elections, is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. In this proposed Federal bill to “protect the right to vote,” a person could be prosecuted or an injunction obtained against him based on surmise as to what he might be about to do. The bill says that the Attorney General may institute proceedings against a person who has engaged or “is about to engage in” any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege concerned with voting. {{c|{{asc|UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMENDING}}}} I believe the effect of enactment of such legislation as these proposals would be to alter our form of government, without following the procedures established by the Constitution. I believe the effect of enacting these bills into law would be to take from the States power and authority guaranteed to them by the Constitution. In recent years there have been more and more assaults by the Federal Government on the rights of the States, as the Federal Government has seized power held by the States. In many instances, I believe, this has been done without a constitutional basis. The States have lost prestige. But more important, the States have lost a part of their sovereignty whenever the Federal Government has taken over additional responsibilities. That loss might seem unimportant at the time, but gradually it could become a major part of the sovereignty of the States. Officials of the Federal Government, whether in the executive, legislative, or the judicial branch, should not forget to whom they owe their allegiance. Each of us owes his allegiance to the Constitution and to the people—not to any agency, department, or person. We have taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution. We must take into account the facts as they really are, and not be panicked by the organized pressures which so often beset public officials. {{c|{{asc|STATES CREATED UNION}}}} We must not lose sight of the fact that the States created the Federal Union; the Federal Government did not create the States. All of the powers held by the Federal Government were delegated to it by the States in the Constitution. The Federal Government had no power, and should have no power, which was not granted by the States in the constitution. If this Congress approves the legislation embodied in the bills pending before the committee, it will be an unwarranted attempt to seize power not rightfully held by the Congress or by any branch of the Federal Government. I hope this committee will consider these facts and recommend the disapproval of these bills.}} Mr. President, that was the statement I made before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on February 26. Mr. President, on August 6 I made my third address on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced my vigorous objections to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127, as amended by the Senate, which was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of this bill. I shall now repeat my several objections to this milder form of the bill as I stated them on August 6. These were my words at that time: {{smaller block|Mr. President, I am opposed to the creation of a Commission on Civil Rights as proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a Commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, such an investigation should be conducted by the States or by an appropriate committee of the Congress, acting within the jurisdiction of Congressional authority. It should not be done by a commission. I also object to part I. of H. R. 6127 because of the fact that it places duties upon the Commission and endows it with powers which no governmental commission should have. In fact, Mr. President, the language of the bill proposing to establish this Commission is so broad and so general that it may encompass more evils than have yet been detected in it. Under its duties and powers the Commission would be able to subpena citizens to appear before it to answer questions on many subjects outside the scope of elections and voting rights. Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall— “(1) Investigate allegations in writing under oath or affirmation that certain citizens of the United States are being deprived of their right to vote and have that vote counted by reason of their color, race, religion, or national origin; which writing, under oath or affirmation, shall set forth the facts upon which such belief or beliefs are based.” Mr. President, the bill, in part IV., contains an additional protection of the voting right of citizens above and beyond present State and Federal laws. Provision is made for enforcement of part IV., and there were already sufficient enforcement provisions to carry out the intent of the existing State and Federal laws. I do not see how a commission could enhance officers nor the powers of law enforcement officers nor the enforcement and punitive authority of the courts. I can see no valid reason why a commission should be created, in addition to the legal enforcement procedures, unless the purpose is for the Commission to stir up litigation among our people. This bill has been advertised, promoted, and ballyhooed as a right-to-vote bill. However, I want to cite two paragraphs which give broad authority for investigations other than alleged violations of a person’s right to vote. Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall— “(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and “(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.” Instead of limiting the power of the Commission, these two paragraphs provide it with ''carte blanche'' authority to probe into and meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals which the Commission and members of its staff could conjure up. I want to call particular attention to a divergence in language between paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 refers to a study of “legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection.” Paragraph 3 says “appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection.” The significant thing here is the omission of the specific intent of paragraph 2. Although the language of paragraph 2 is obscure and omits a governmental reference, it obviously must refer to State and local governments, else it would be redundant and have no meaning at all. Also, as I pointed out, investigations conducted under paragraphs 2 and 3 could go far afield from the question of voting rights. The Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools, and elsewhere, under the authorization of these two paragraphs. Combining its authority to investigate on an unlimited scale and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions, the Commission would have a powerful weapon. Mr. President, I do not believe the people of this country realize the virtually unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. While the Commission would have no power to implement its desires, I do not believe the people of this country want such a totalitarian type of persuasion imposed upon them. Part I. of H. R. 6127 purports to create a Civil Rights Commission. Actually, it would create a traveling investigation commission. Section 103(b) of part I. also would place tremendous power within the grasp of the Attorney General with reference to members of the Commission “otherwise in the service of the Government.” The clear implication is that whoever drafted this scheme to send traveling agents over the country intended to make use of certain members of the executive branch of the Federal Government. I don’t believe it would be necessary to look further than the Justice Department to determine where Commission members already in Government service would be secured. By placing his employees on the Commission, the Attorney General would transform the traveling agents into an additional investigative arm of the Justice Department. Mr. President, I next call attention to the potential abuse found in section 102(g) under the innocuous title, “Rules of Procedure of the Commission.” That section provides that “no evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be released or used in public sessions without the consent of the Commission. Whoever releases or uses in public without the consent of the Commission evidence or testimony taken in executive session shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than 1 year.” In an editorial of July 26, 1957, the Washington Post very correctly pointed out how this section could be used to imprison reporters and other citizens for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This editorial provides a penetrating and enlightening criticism of this section. Because of its pertinency and fine analysis, I shall read the last three paragraphs of the editorial which is entitled “Open Rights Hearings,” which states: “The bill contains an invitation to the Commission to operate behind closed doors. It provides that ‘if the Commission determines that evidence or testimony at any hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, it shall * * * receive such evidence or testimony in executive session * * *.’ Some closed sessions may be necessary to avoid unfair reflections upon individuals, but these should certainly be an exception to the general rule. In our opinion, this section ought to be rewritten in more positive vein to provide that sessions of the Commission should be open to the public, unless it should find that closed hearings were essential to avoid unfairness. “The House also wrote into the bill a dangerous section providing for the fining or imprisonment for not more than 1 year of anyone who might ‘release or use in public,’ without the consent of the Commission, any testimony taken behind closed doors. If the Commission should choose to operate under cover, without any valid reason to do so, newspaper reporters and other citizens could be jailed for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This is a penalty that has been shunned even in matters affecting national security. Such a provision is an invitation to abuse and a serious menace to the right of the people to know about the activities of governmental agencies. “It is well to remember that this would not be merely a study commission. In addition it would be under obligation to investigate allegations that persons were being deprived of their rights under the 14th and 15th amendments. It could subpena witnesses and documents and appeal to the courts for enforcement of such edicts. Its powers would be such that it should be held to scrupulous rules of fairness. To encourage the Commission to operate in secret, and then to penalize news mediums and citizens for disclosing what should have been public in the first place, would be the sort of mistake that Congress ought to avoid at the outset.” Mr. President, I think the points made in the editorial are clear and valid. Secrecy in the activities of such a Commission could only lead to a denial of the rights of an individual rather than to protection of his rights. Another subject which must not be passed over is the subpena power of the Commission. Section 105(f) provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” Mr. President, many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding Commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. Neither would the power contained in section 105(g) which provides that Federal courts shall have the power, upon application by the Attorney General, to issue “an order requiring” a witness to answer a subpena of the Commission and “any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.” The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority of the traditional American factfinding commission. I look with suspicion upon such a Commission so endowed with authority, and I object to its establishment. Mr. President, I want to discuss another reason, briefly, why I would be opposed to the establishment of the Commission proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. Every appropriation bill which has come before the Senate this year has been reduced by the Senate below the budget request. The people of this country have called upon the Members of Congress to reduce the costs of government, not to increase them by creating new agencies or commissions. The advocates of the Commission might argue that the cost of its operation would not be great, but nowhere in the records of the hearings have I found an estimate of what the total cost would be. If the Commission were to exist only for the 2 years provided in the bill, the compensation and ''per diem'' allowance of Commission members would amount to more than a quarter of a million dollars, not counting their travel allowances. Since there is no limitation on the number of personnel which might be appointed by the Commission, there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of personnel salaries and expenses. Since the Commission is designed to travel over the country at will, very heavy travel expenses undoubtedly would be incurred. The taxpayers would never know how many of their tax dollars were wasted by virtue of the seemingly innocuous language in section 105(e). Unknown, concealed costs are not, however, the only dangers lurking in that subsection. A serious departure from sound legislative procedure is also involved. In the past, when creating an agency or commission, Congress retained control of its creation by the appropriation power. This is a wonderful check, Mr. President, against the abuse or misuse of Commission authority. Scrupulous care should be taken to preserve it. However, section 105(e) provides that “all Federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties.” Thus the Civil Rights Commission could call on the other governmental agencies to perform many of its tasks. Congressional control over the Commission would be much less than if the Commission had to depend on its own appropriations and would not be permitted to use the resources of other agencies. Once the commission is created, only another law can check its activity during the period of its existence. Another thing that concerns me about this Commission is the fact that once a Government agency or commission is established, nothing else on earth so nearly approaches eternal existence as that Government agency or commission. Mr. President, I feel that the 2-year limitation placed upon the Commission in this bill would simply be a starting point, and the people of this country should realize that at this time. With further reference to section 104(a), I want to point out the use of the mandatory word shall. This word requires the Commission to investigate all sworn allegations submitted to the Commission of any citizen allegedly being deprived of his right to vote. But the provision neglects to require that such allegations be submitted by parties in interest—not simply by some meddler who seeks to create trouble between other persons. This is another provision of this bill similar to section 131(c) which would permit the Attorney General to make the United States a party to a case without the consent of the party actually involved. Another objection to 104(a) is that under this provision a person could make an allegation to the Commission against a person who was not even a citizen of the same State. Even so, under the mandatory language of section 104(a), the Commission would be required to make an investigation of the charges. Since the Commission is limited by section 102(k) to subpenaing witnesses to hearings only within the State of residence of the witness, there would be no opportunity in such a situation for the accused to confront his accuser. Charges against a person should not be accepted by the Commission unless the accuser is a citizen of the same State as the person he is charging with a violation of the law. Also, Mr. President, once the Commission has received the sworn allegation, there is no requirement that other testimony received relating to the allegation be taken under oath. Failure to make all persons giving testimony subject to perjury prosecutions in the event they testify to falsehoods would surely destroy the value of any such testimony received. The Commission could and might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony; but I should not like to see the Senate leave that point to the discretion of the Commission because, in my judgment, the Congress should require that practice to be followed. Mr. President, as I stated earlier, it is my view that an inquiry into the field of civil rights, or so-called civil rights, is entirely unnecessary at this time. The laws of the States and the Federal laws are being enforced effectively. Should there come a time when information might be needed on this subject, the Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with deliberation and care. The appropriate committees of the Congress itself should hold hearings limited to the jurisdiction of the Congress, and the Congress should make its own determination as to the need for legislation. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed. Part II. of the bill still provides for the appointment of one additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. As I have stated in previous addresses, there is absolutely no need for an additional Attorney General to be appointed at a cost to the taxpayers of $20,000 per year. Of course, that would merely be a small part of the total cost because a large staff of lawyers would also be employed. The other provisions of the bill do not necessitate the establishment of a civil-rights division in the Justice Department, because there is no indication there would be any substantial increase in such cases with which the Department should be concerned. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have admitted time and again here in the Senate that there has been a steady decrease in the number of civil-rights cases throughout the country. Since there has been a decrease in civil-rights cases, and since there is no indication that any increase should be expected, I can see absolutely no reason for the expansion of the present civil-rights section of the Justice Department into a Civil Rights Division with an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge. Mr. President, in view of the fact that sufficient justification has not been presented for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, I hope the Senate will not approve such additional expenditures as would be required for this purpose. In my opinion, the Attorney General has failed entirely to show a need for an additional assistant. Part III. of the bill as amended has been thoroughly discussed and I shall not dwell on that at this time. Part IV., which is the section dealing with what the advocates of the bill have said was the entire purpose of the bill, still has provisions which are objectionable to me. Section 131(c) still contains language which, to me, borders on an effort at thought control instead of providing an unneeded additional guaranty of the right to vote. Also, it gives the Attorney General undue authority. The section reads as follows: “(c) Whenever any person has engaged, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage, in any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege secured by subsection (a) or (b), the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, a civil action or other proper proceeding for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order. In any proceeding hereunder the United States shall be liable for costs the same as a private person.” As long ago as February 26, when I appeared before the special Judiciary Subcommittee of the House of Representatives to testify against pending civil-rights bills, I expressed my opposition to the language contained in the section I. have just quoted. I do not believe it possible for the Attorney General, for any of his representatives, or for anybody else to determine what is in another person’s mind and whether he is about to engage in some violation of the law. If the Attorney General should attempt to ascertain what is going on in the minds of other persons, he will need soothsayers and prophets instead of an additional Attorney General. I object to this language because I do not believe it possible for any witness to testify truthfully that he knows another person was about to violate the law, unless some overt action had been taken by the accused person. Mr. President, an attempt to apply this provision against American citizens would be completely out of keeping with the guaranties of personal freedom contained in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights. I object also to the authority granted the Attorney General in section (c) to “institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States,” a civil action or other court proceeding on behalf of a person without the consent of that person. Individuals have adequate legal remedies which they themselves may institute on their own behalf. It is not necessary to give the Attorney General this extreme power of absolute discretion to be exercised as he desires on behalf of some individual who may not wish to take court action or to have anybody else take such action on his behalf. If one of the duties of the proposed additional Assistant Attorney General would be to seek out persons and insist upon entering the courts on their behalf, this provision, combined with part II., provides another objection to the appointment of an Assistant Attorney General. The American system has never condoned the idea that a third party should stir up trouble between two other persons. Instead, the American system abhors troublemakers, especially when troublemaking takes the form of barratry. This form of troublemaking has been looked down upon much in the same way other lawyers look down upon their colleagues who chase ambulances. The United States Government should not be placed in this position of disrepute and certainly it should not be called upon to bear the expenses of such court proceedings. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which provides that— “(b) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.” No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States, should not be exhausted prior to Federal district courts taking jurisdiction in election-law violations. This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 have spoken out strongly on behalf of the Federal courts during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. The laws of all the 48 States contain provisions protecting the right to vote. No additional protection is needed beyond existing State and Federal laws. In my own State of South Carolina, the constitution of 1895 required the general assembly to provide by law for the punishment of crimes against the election laws. That has been done. The State constitution further required a provision to permit a person to appeal to the State supreme court if he should be denied registration. The election law spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court, and requires that the court hold a special session if one is not scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election. South Carolina’s constitution also provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of this constitutional provision, the South Carolina General Assembly has enacted laws for the punishment of anyone who threatens, mistreats, or abuses any voter in an effort to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. These laws apply to all elections. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. Mr. President, in view of the existing laws of the States and the existing Federal laws, I now contend, as I have contended since the so-called civil-rights bills were introduced, that any qualified voter in the United States is fully protected in his right of suffrage. This bill, H. R. 6127, is unnecessary. It is an encroachment upon the rights of the States, and it infringes upon the rights of individuals when the Attorney General is empowered to take action on the behalf of any person without his consent. I believe this bill should be rejected, because of the various unnecessary and unconstitutional provisions which I have discussed. Part V. of the bill, which was added to insure and provide for trial by jury in proceedings to punish criminal contempts, is an amendment which I approved and voted for, but I do not consider it as strong as desirable. In my opinion, the bill which the senior Senators from Mississippi and Virginia and I introduced in the Senate last March should be approved, to provide best for the right of trial by jury for every American citizen. However, the addition of part V. to the bill makes it much less objectionable than the bill would have been without the assurance of trial by jury in criminal-contempt proceedings contained in part V. Mr. President, I want to reiterate my previous assertions that this bill is unnecessary, and in some respects unconstitutional. H. R. 6127 in its original form carried the label of being a right-to-vote bill; but when we unwrapped the package here in the Senate and examined it carefully, as we have, we found the label was entirely misleading. The so-called civil-rights bill should have been entitled “A bill to empower the Attorney General to deprive certain citizens of their right to trial by jury.” Also, it should have been labeled as an implement intended to be used to force integration of the races in the public schools. Happily, we examined the contents of the package, stripped off the old label, and advertised the deception so that every citizen could recognize the dangers wrapped in the package. The amendments which have been enacted have reduced the power which was intended to be placed in the hands of the Attorney General. They have removed the authority for the use of military forces in cases of alleged civil-rights violations. They have made the proposed Commission answerable to Congress as well as to the President, and have provided for the members to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. They have better defined and narrowed the powers of Federal judges in contempt proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R. 6127. However, nothing could entirely remove the objectionable features of this packaged bill of goods, submitted to the American people under a deceptive label. I shall vote against passage of H. R. 6127, because I believe that in so doing I shall be casting a vote for the preservation of our liberties, and for the preservation of constitutional government in this country.}} Mr. President, that was the statement which I made on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced vigorous objection to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127 as amended by the Senate. Of course, the Senate bill was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of the bill. Mr. President, I now wish to discuss part IV. of H. R. 6127 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution. {{smaller block|PART IV.—TO PROVIDE MEANS OF FURTHER SECURING AND PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE}} Part IV. of the proposed civil-rights bill confers on the Attorney General the right to bring civil action and seek an injunction in a Federal district in the name of the United States if he believes any person is violating or about to violate either of two laws presently existing for the protection of voters. Let us examine the two laws the Attorney General seeks to enforce by civil suit or injunction. The first of these laws, presently appearing as section 2004 of the Revised Statutes of 1874—title 42, United States Code, section 1971—is actually section 1 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870—Sixteenth United States Statutes at Large, page 140. This bill, S. 810 and H. R. 1293, passed the respective Houses of Congress without debate on its merits under the rule on motion. This bill as it passed Congress contained in its second section a definite provision that civil damages to the aggrieved might be recovered through civil suit in the Federal courts. Furthermore, it provided for the obtaining of political office by civil suit through ''quo'' warrant proceedings in Federal courts. On May 20, 1870, an attempt was made in the Senate to allow third parties to sue in behalf of the aggrieved party. This is the same proposal contained in the present bill whereby the Attorney General would be allowed to bring civil action and seek injunctions. Even this radical 41st Congress would not accept any such proposition providing double penalties. The proposition in the present bill would provide double penalties because present law contained in both title 18, Section 242—Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law—and title 42, Section 1971—Race, Color, or Previous Condition Not To Affect Right to Vote—afford appropriate criminal and civil remedy. To show how the Senate in 1870 rejected such an idea of double penalties, let us examine the colloquy in the Senate on the proposal to allow someone other than the aggrieved to bring civil suit—Congressional Globe, volume 93, 41st Congress, 2d session, 1870, pages 3563–3564: {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I understand I am in order in offering to amend the amendment. The {{sc|Presiding Officer}}. The amendment to the amendment is in order. Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I will repeat it, then, for the information of the Senate. I move to amend the Senate bill in section 2, line 15, by striking out the words “the person aggrieved thereby” and inserting “any person who shall sue for the same.” Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. I hope that this amendment will not be agreed to. There are now two views taken of this branch of the bill as it stands. One is that there ought not to be any provision at all for the party aggrieved; that it ought all to be out; and another view is that taken by my friend from Alabama, that it does not go far enough; that we ought not to confine this redress to the person whose vote is refused. The committee considered both those views, and thought, in analogy to State legislation and to the simple proprieties of justice, that this middle ground was the true one. If a voter is deprived of his right to vote by the misconduct of an official, it is a personal grievance to him, an actionable injury, for which all civilized laws give him redress in some form. It is true that in most States and countries no specific amount of damages is allowed, for the reason that it is thought safer, inasmuch as that might be a matter of speculation, to leave it under the circumstances of each case to be great or small, as a jury shall think it wise to make it. But in applying the 15th amendment, which is intended to secure the rights of a large class of the population of the United States, and to secure their rights in courts which may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, by juries who may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, in communities where the local officers are found to be those who deny the rights that the 15th amendment secures, we thought it wise not to leave it to an unfriendly jury to give only 1 penny damages, if a man under the 15th amendment was deprived of a right he had, but to fix the sum the party should be entitled to recover as his damages; and on the other hand, in a community where juries might be very favorable to the party aggrieved, we thought it right to impose upon juries a limit above which they ought not to go; so that they should not either give no damages at all nor excessive damages. This branch of the section, therefore, is framed upon that theory. It is to give to the person aggrieved, as damages for the deprivation of his rights as a citizen, a private right of his own, a right to sue, which all laws give; it would not be necessary to put that into the statute—he would have the right of action; but to fix the amount for each specific wrong to him {{SIC|whch|which}} he should be entitled to recover. Then we provide in another part of the bill, and perhaps in the same section, just as we ought to do if we are to have any law at all, that the officer guilty of this wrong to the citizen is also guilty of an offense against the public, a criminal misdemeanor, for which he may be indicted and fined, of course within certain limits, in the discretion of the court. I submit to my friend from Alabama whether, on the whole, this middle ground, which is defensible both by philosophy and by analogy, is not the true one. Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I desire to make this bill as effective for the purpose intended as possible. The persons who will be aggrieved, particularly in our section of the country, will in the main be ignorant and timid persons, who will be afraid to sue. The fact that they may be afraid to go to the polls and vote is evidence that they will not perhaps have the courage and fearlessness to sue; but there may be some third party who would be willing to enforce the penalty. I think in the great majority of cases the person aggrieved would not avail himself of this provision. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Then, I suggest to my friend that he would not be entitled to any action at all under this section, because this is not a section to give every man $500 who is afraid to offer to do what he has a right to do; but it is to give him as damages the sum of $500 for a positive and specific denial to him of the exercise of a right that he attempts to exercise; otherwise, he would have no cause of action. You cannot give a right of action to anybody because he is intimidated. The intimidation part of the law must be purely criminal, and is found in another part of the bill. Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. But my amendment would give a remedy by enabling any other person than the party aggrieved to enforce the penalty. The party aggrieved I think in most cases would fail to enforce it; but some other party might. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Some other party may in his name. Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I desire to say a word in regard to the particular amendment now pending. This bill is for the purpose of enforcing the 15th amendment, which applies to colored voters, most of whom reside in the section of the country from which the Senator from Alabama and myself come. The great and most effectual means used to interfere with their exercise of the right secured to them by the 15th amendment is by intimidation, by violence. I think that the penalty which is named in this second section, to be enforced by the party aggrieved, would never be put into operation at all. The purpose of the bill is to protect those citizens against intimidation from voting. I confess that there is something in the suggestion of the Senator from Vermont, that there is no intimidation in this particular section aimed at. But, sir, it is perfectly sure that the very same means of intimidation which prevents a colored citizen from voting will be resorted to to prevent him from bringing this penal action, and unless the section is amended as suggested by the Senator from Alabama, I do not believe that an action will ever be brought in those States, because it is much more difficult for one of those citizens to bring and maintain a criminal action than it is for him to perform the single act of voting. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Will my friend permit me to make a suggestion right there? Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. Certainly. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. If you take out this penalty, as it is called, really liquidated damages, from the person who is aggrieved, whose right is denied, and who has suffered injury, and give it to anybody who will sue for it, it becomes a pure penalty. Then the question is, whether you can have a bill which contains double penalties; whether you are to punish, in the strict sense of punishment, a man twice for the same offense; because my friend will see that the section, in addition to giving these damages to the party aggrieved as damages, makes it a criminal misdemeanor, punishable on indictment and conviction by a fine of not less than $500 and imprisonment not less than a month nor more than a year. I suggest to my friend, who is a cultivated and educated lawyer, whether he would not in court find himself in great difficulty with a bill of double penalties, which were purely such. Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I have never examined that question under the laws of the United States. I only know that is frequently done in my own State. We have statutes with double penalties, as referred to by the Senator, and we have never had any difficulty in that State with regard to them. But I understood the committee to mean by this section that there was danger in the States where it is principally to apply of not being able to obtain a grand jury who will find a bill of indictment, and that in the event no bill of indictment could be found before a grand jury the party aggrieved, or, if amended as the Senator from Alabama suggests, any person in the community may still punish the offender by bringing a penal action. It seems I had mistaken the purpose of the committee entirely from what is said by the Senator from Vermont. I think, nevertheless, the amendment had better be made, unless there really be that legal objection which the Senator suggests as to double penalties, so that it could not, under the laws of the United States and the practice of the United States courts, be enforced. If that were so, it would be conclusive that the amendment ought not to be adopted. I did not understand the Senator as expressing the positive opinion that such could not be done.}} Now, Mr. President, I shall discuss injunctions issuing from Federal district judges on the question of a person’s qualification for voting. The civil-rights bill in part IV. confers on the district courts of the United States jurisdiction to issue injunctions in civil-rights actions and it is to be assumed that these injunctions will concern, among other supposed rights, the right to vote. Actually appropriate remedy already exists where a person’s civil rights are violated. Section 242 of title 18, United States Code, provides a penalty and damages may be recovered in a civil action. The West Virginia Jehovah’s Witnesses case is a typical example of adequate remedy existing in such cases. In this case, the United States attorney was unable to get an indictment by the grand jury. He therefore proceeded to prosecute by information, as provided by rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and subsequently got a conviction. The information charged that two public officers, acting under color of law, had willfully deprived their victims of the Federal rights of free speech, freedom of religion, the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, and the right to equal protection of the laws. The conviction was upheld by the United States court of appeals—''Catlette'' v. ''U. S.'' ((1943) 132 F. 2d 902). Civil suits were brought by the Witnesses against their prosecutors—those who had deprived them of their rights—and a settlement was made totaling $1,170 in damages which was paid. How can the Congress vest jurisdiction in Federal courts to determine the qualifications of voters and allow Federal judges to issue injunctions in effect requiring that certain persons—the judge thinks are qualified—shall be registered and allowed to vote? The qualifications of voters are fixed and enumerated in the constitution of each sovereign State. For purposes of determining who is entitled to vote in each State for United States Representatives and Senators, the Federal Constitution simply adopts such qualifications as the State has fixed for voting for members of that State’s legislature. The language of article I., section 2, clause 3 of the United States Constitution reads: {{smaller block|The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.}} Similarly, the 17th amendment adopts for the purpose of electing United States Senators such qualifications as the States have fixed: {{smaller block|The Senate of the United States shall be composed of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for 6 years; and each Senator shall have 1 vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.}} In the fixing of qualifications of voters the States are limited only by the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment in that the right to vote may not be denied because of race or color or sex, respectively. That the respective States determine who are entitled to vote has never been seriously controverted. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the right to vote comes from the State. In declaring sections 3 and 4 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870, unconstitutional, the Supreme Court in 1875 said—''U. S.'' v. ''Reese'' ((1875) 92 U. S. 214, 217, 218); also ''Butts'' v. ''Merchants and Miners Transportation Co.'' ((1913) 230 U. S. 126): {{smaller block|The 15th amendment does not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference, in this particular, to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race, etc., as it was on account of age, one race having certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to this amendment, there was no constitutional guaranty against this discrimination; now there is. It follows that the amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right which is within the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This, under the express provisions of the second section of the amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation.}} This leads us to inquire whether the act now under consideration is appropriate legislation for that purpose. The power of Congress to legislate at all upon the subject of voting at State elections rests upon this amendment. The effect of article I., section 4, of the Constitution, in respect to elections for Senators and Representatives, is not now under consideration. It has not been contended, nor can it be, that the amendment confers authority to impose penalties for every wrongful refusal to receive the vote of a qualified elector at State elections. It is only when the wrongful refusal at such an election is because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, that Congress can interfere, and provide for its punishment: If, therefore, the third and fourth sections of the act are beyond that limit, they are unauthorized.}} Thus, if the 15th amendment has not conferred the right to vote upon anyone, how can Congress give a Federal judge authority to confer that right by injunction? The Attorney General knows that it is a settled principle of law that an injunction will not issue to prevent a crime. At the present time the laws governing enforcement of civil rights are criminal statutes and as such he seeks to have them reenacted as civil statutes so he can secure injunctions. An injunction is really a serious proposition. Actually an injunction is a proceeding in equity and not of law and under this principle since all of the States have adequate procedure for determining the qualifications of voters in courts of law, injunctions cannot issue in such cases. An injunction is actually the giving of validity to a judge’s own individual opinion. The injunction had its origin during the reign of Henry VIII., when Cardinal Wolsey augmented the authority of the Court of Chancery in exercising his equitable authority over everything that could be a matter of judicial inquiry. Both Wolsey and his successor, Sir Thomas More, were severely criticized by the English judiciary for issuing injunctions in equity and thereby substituting their individual opinions for the verdict of a jury in a common law court—the Law magazine, London, volume XXVII., 1870, pages 1–25. Such great importance is attached to the issuance of an injunction that Lord Correnham in his judgment in ''Brown'' v. ''Newall'' ((1870), 2 M. and C. 558, 570), said: {{smaller block|Now, that that ''ex parte'' injunction was an order which ought not to have been made, is not in dispute. It has been subsequently dissolved, and nothing is attempted (570) to be said in support of it at the bar; and it is impossible that it could have been sustained. The order was a departure from the known and established rule and practice of this court. Nothing is so difficult as to bring within any general rule every case in which a special injunction ought to be granted; but, when an action has regularly proceeded, and is on the very eve of trial, an ''ex parte'' injunction to stop it is an order such as I have not before seen. The vice chancellor appears to have stated that the order was made under some misapprehension of the facts; and indeed it is quite obvious that it must have been so, for the vice chancellor could not have made the order if the facts had been thoroughly understood. It is very probable that some facts were then supposed to exist which did not actually exist. I am not entitled, however, to assume that the order was made upon any other grounds than those stated in the affidavit which was used upon the application for the injunction; and I am, therefore, to see whether, on that affidavit, the parties have suppressed or misrepresented facts in such a way as was calculated to induce the court to grant the injunction. I am most unwilling to lay down any rule which should limit the power and discretion of the court as to the particular cases in which a special injunction should or should not be granted; but I have always felt—and since I have been upon the bench I have seen no reason to alter my opinion—that extreme danger attends the exercise of this part of the jurisdiction of the court, and that it is a jurisdiction which is to be exercised with extreme caution. It is absolutely necessary that the power should exist, because there are cases in which it is indispensable; but I believe that practically it does as much injustice as it promotes (571) justice; and it is, therefore, to be exercised with extreme caution. The court can have no ground upon which it can proceed, in granting an ''ex parte'' injunction, but a faithful statement of the case; and where the court has found a party misstating the case, either by misrepresentation or suppression, the court has always exercised its jurisdiction, for the purpose of repressing that practice; and I am desirous to abstain from putting, by anticipation, a limit to that power. The extent to which the court is to go in so doing is only to be determined by the case itself; but then it must appear, upon the affidavits, that there was such misrepresentation. Now the affidavit upon which the ''ex parte'' injunction was obtained certainly does not state all the facts; but the question is, whether there was any such suppression or misstatement as to lead the court to grant the injunction. I do not find on that affidavit that description of misrepresentation or suppression which, in my opinion, presented a case likely to procure a judgment on the application, but different from the case which really existed.}} Thus we can easily see, even if we had the power, that it would be a dangerous experiment to allow Federal district judges to issue injunctions on simple ''ex parte'' affidavits as is proposed in the present bill. And it might be possible under this proposal to assign New York or Vermont Federal judges to a crowded injunction calendar in Virginia to determine who is qualified to vote in that State. Section 134 of title 26, United States Code, simply requires that a district judge reside in the district or one of the districts for which he is appointed and does not preclude his assignment to another district. In fact, Chief Justice Warren under section 292 of the Judicial Code—title 28, United States Code—may assign California judges to South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 292. District judges: (a) The chief judge of a circuit may designate and assign one or more district judges within the circuit to sit upon the court of appeals or a division thereof whenever the business of that court so requires. Such designations or assignments shall be in conformity with the rules or orders of the court of appeals of the circuit. (b) The chief judge of a district may, in the public interest, designate and assign temporarily any district judge of the circuit to hold a district court in any district within the circuit. (c) The Chief Justice of the United States may designate and assign temporarily a district judge of one circuit for service in another circuit, either in a district court or court of appeals, upon presentation of a certificate of necessity by the chief judge or circuit justice of the circuit wherein the need arises. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 901.)}} The Federal Enforcement Act of 1870 attempted to do just what this bill seeks to do, that is, take away from the States the control of their elections and place that control in the hands of federally appointed officials. If anyone has any doubts about the failure of the Enforcement Act or even its constitutionality he should read the various decisions of the United States Supreme Court declaring almost every section of the act unconstitutional. When Congress finally got around to repealing that act in 1893 here are some of the frauds cited in Congress as reasons for repeal. They included 19,000 fraudulent naturalization certificates being issued by a single judge in New York State. They included payment in fees from the United States Treasury to a single Federal supervisor of elections and commissioner of the Federal court the sum of $145,000. Interestingly enough, repeal was initiated by a New York Congressman. See {{sc|Congressional Record}}, Volume 25, pages 1959, 1808. Mr. President, on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, I made a motion in the Senate to have H. R. 6127 in its so-called compromise form referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that I believed it to be a dangerous procedure to allow bills to come over from the House of Representatives and be placed on the calendar of the Senate without being referred to the appropriate committee. However, my motion was voted down 66 to 18, so the bill is now before the Senate for consideration. Since very few Members of the Senate were present at that time to hear my objections to the present version of H. R. 6127, I shall present my arguments again. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution because that would be the result insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common-law cases. These guaranties were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historic document their complaints against denial of the right of trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. After declaring that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the signers of the Declaration pointed out that the King had a history of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.” Then they proceeded to the listing of a bill of particulars against the King. He was charged with “depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.” That is what the Declaration of Independence contained. The King was charged, among other things, with depriving the American people of the benefit of trial by jury. That is the very thing I am fighting for—the right of trial by jury, which is contained in the Constitution, and embodied in it in quite a number of places. The compromise bill which comes from the House attempts to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The bill does not provide for a trial by jury unless the penalty is more than 45 days’ imprisonment or more than a $300 fine. That is a compromise of the Constitution. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. When the original Constitution was written there was placed in it article III., section 2, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. Then the Bill of Rights was adopted, and that right was provided in three different places. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and onetime Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. “The Bill of Rights,” he declared, “denies the power of any government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.” Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen? The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic law if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes, in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. When our forefathers met in 1787 in Philadelphia they wrote in article III., section 2, of the Constitution that in all crimes except treason a man shall be entitled to a jury trial. In several places in the Bill of Rights they wrote it again, with special emphasis in the sixth amendment that a man is entitled to a jury trial. Yet the compromisers brought forth a compromise which {{SIC|attemps|attempts}} to compromise the Constitution of the United States. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. The compromise would have been unconstitutional if it had provided that if a judge wanted to punish for criminal contempt he could sentence the defendant to serve 1 day or fine him $1. He has no right to fine him $1 or give him 1 day’s punishment in prison without a jury trial, because the Constitution says that in a criminal case a man charged with crime is entitled to a jury trial. I cited last night a decision which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and this so-called compromise which has come to the Senate is an effort of the Senate and the House of Representatives to get together, but in the effort to get together and pass a political bill—and that is all it is—they have been willing to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says, “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. If the Constitution had had an exception in it and read, “This shall not apply to criminal contempt or crimes of criminal contempt,” then there would be some basis for the Congress to legislate. But it did not make such an exception. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “The trial of ''all'' crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. What right has a Federal judge to use his discretion and tell a man he can be tried by a jury? The Constitution says if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to be tried by a jury if he wants to be tried by a jury. In the Constitution there is no exception of criminal contempt or any exception that gives a judge the power to try a man so charged rather than a jury. We are dealing with the basic rights of the people of this Nation and we should be careful to protect those precious rights which have been handed down to us by our forefathers. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. We cannot make trial by jury a matter of degree. If the Constitution gives a man the right of trial by jury, he has that right and we cannot take it away from him. The Congress cannot take it away. Furthermore, this compromise pretends to let the judge try the case if he wants to do so, in his discretion. Then if he finds the defendant ought to be punished by a fine in excess of $300 or by imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the man is entitled to a trial by jury. Do you not know, Mr. President, that if a judge has already tried a man, and then the defendant asks for a jury trial, the judge’s decision is bound to affect the jury in the case strongly, even if it were constitutional for that to be done, which it is not? Under this proposal if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days in prison he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of punishment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. I realize that Congress may want to get away from Washington. We have had a long, hard session. I also realize that both national parties are playing to the minorities by means of the right-to-vote bill, when each State in the Nation has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and section 594 of the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure protects the right to vote. Yet, as a political gesture, both parties are making this play to try to claim credit. Watch my prediction that in the elections of 1958 both parties will try to claim that they got the civil-rights bill through the Congress. Why are we not more interested in preserving the Constitution? Are we going to violate the Constitution by passing a political civil-rights bill in order to give thunder and political fodder to politicians to enable them to garner votes? Which is more important, the Constitution of this country or the political parties vying for the votes of minorities? I wish to see the right to vote exercised by every man who is qualified to vote and who wants to vote. If he is entitled to vote, I want to see him vote. But the true purpose of this bill is not to insure the right to vote, because we have statutes in every State, and we have statutes on the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure now already that punish people interfering with anybody trying to vote. If the statutes we now have on the books are not being enforced, what good will it do to put another statute on the books? If the Justice Department is claiming that there are any individuals who have been denied their right to vote, why does it not prosecute them under the present law, which is completely adequate? And if no people have been denied the right to vote, then why is it claimed that this bill is necessary? The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents and in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. Perhaps the House and the Senate wanted to get together and they thought this was the only way they could do it, but I want to tell the American people when they did get together and brought forth this compromise they violated the Constitution of the United States. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill. Like father, like son; a chip off the old block. Both are bad. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of the fine—or even 1 cent—and if a day, or even an hour, were added to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial, and a jury would decide the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. The proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was passed by the Senate. The inclusion by the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, made the bill a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, the present unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope a majority of the Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the ''bloc'' voting of the pivotal states. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about. Those are the words of Stewart Alsop; and he is not a southerner, so far as I know. To explain his point, he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States, Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election. The following four paragraphs are quoted directly from Mr. Alsop’s column: {{smaller block|In 1954, Averell Harriman was elected Governor of New York by less than 15,000 votes over Senator {{sc|Irving Ives}}. According to Harris’ analysis, Harriman polled a whopping 79 percent of the Negro vote. Negro voters thus supplied Harriman with his margin of victory several times over. Two years later, the Democrats had dropped some 90,000 Negro votes to the Republicans—or about 6 times the number of votes {{sc|Ives}} needed to defeat Harriman. Or take another close race—the victory of Senator {{sc|Joseph Clark}}, of Pennsylvania, over the Republican incumbent, Senator James Duff, in 1956. Again, {{sc|Clark}} just squeaked in, with a plurality of less than 18,000 votes. {{sc|Clark}}, despite the Supreme Court, carried the Negro vote by a huge 76 percent margin, which was worth about 150,000 votes to him. Suppose the Negro vote had dropped off as sharply in Pennsylvania as it did in Illinois, where it nosedived from 75 percent in 1952 to 58 percent in 1956. Then Duff would be in the Senate by a comfortable majority, and {{sc|Clark}} would be practicing law. Other examples could be cited, like that of Senator {{sc|Paul Douglas}}, of Illinois, who owes about 60 percent of his 1954 plurality to the Negro vote. But the lesson is clear enough. If the Republicans can attract something approaching half the Negro vote in the Northern States, the Republican Party will then be the normal majority party in those States. Read the role of big States in which the Negroes can be expected to poll 5 percent or more of the total vote—not only New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but such States as Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and California. It then becomes clear what is at stake in the civil-rights struggle—nothing less than the future balance of political power in the Nation.}} But, Mr. President, are we going to compromise the Constitution, whether we lose an election or not? Which is more important—to win an election or to preserve the Constitution? It is about time that both parties began to consider the welfare of the country and to determine whether the Constitution is of more importance, or whether winning an election is of more importance. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today; but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law, eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of the bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Under the provisions of the compromise, jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge, so long as the sentence he metes does not exceed the maximum limit set for denying trial by jury. The proponents of the bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim, the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When the bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted the great legal mind of 18th century England, Blackstone. Because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him again at this time. This is what Blackstone had to say: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} That is what Blackstone, the leading legal light the world has known, had to say. I wish to repeat one of his sentences: {{smaller block|And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} Mr. President, a trial by jury is one of the bedrocks of this democracy. It is one of the bedrocks of this Nation. It is one of the bedrocks of this Government. When we talk to people in the street and to laymen generally about taking away their right of trial by jury, they cannot understand it, because they know that the Constitution provides that a man shall have a trial by jury when he is charged with the commission of a crime. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen, chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth, and the surest guardians of public justice. For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan of the United States Supreme Court delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, that is a significant statement to me, coming from a member of the present Supreme Court. I will not predict what the Court might do when the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury as embodied in this so-called compromise is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the people of this Nation want Federal judges to have the power to punish persons for criminal contempt by sentences of either days, weeks, or months in jail, or by fines of dollars, they can amend the Constitution and provide for it. If the people of this country want Federal judges to have the discretion of determining whether a person shall have a jury trial or not, then they can amend the Constitution and so provide. There is no provision and no exception for either instance in the present Constitution. That is certainly a clue to what might be expected from the Court when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. I think what the Supreme Court did in the ''Reid'' against ''Covert'' case might be a clue to what it might do, or what might be expected of the Court, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all of the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State. A summary of these laws was submitted to me, and I request that this summary be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. The people of my State vote. I am in favor of qualified people voting. All the people of my State vote if they are qualified. Whence comes this hue and cry? Those raising it have not presented the matter to the Judiciary Committee, so the chairman of that committee may hold hearings. They have held hearings for weeks and months on the subject, and the proponents of the bill have failed to present evidence to show that people do not have the right to vote. It is inescapable, as I have said, that this is a political bill and not a bill to provide the right to vote. The people already have that privilege. If any such incident as a refusal to permit a citizen to vote had occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. The people of the States are interested in justice just as are the officials of the Federal Government, but I shall return to that subject in a few minutes and go into the matter of the Federal statutes a little more fully. We have Federal statutes to protect the right to vote, if the voters are not satisfied with the State statutes, and certainly the Federal statutes protect them. I say that the Negro citizens in South Carolina are safeguarded in their rights; and the payment of a poll tax is not required. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. As I have said, South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. Registration is necessary only once every 10 years. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that the poll tax be repealed as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature acted promptly and submitted the matter to the people, and the people voted in favor of repeal of the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature approved it, and we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina, if proof is desired, can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia, S. C., Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that “estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina constitution which protect a citizen’s right to vote: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}} Article 1, section 9, suffrage: The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct. Article 1, section 10, elections free and open: All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office. Article 2, section 5, appeal; crimes against election laws: Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws. Article 2, section 8, registration provided; elections; board of registration; books of registration: The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the 1st of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times. Article 2, section 15, right of suffrage free: No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the record to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|South Carolina Code, title 23}}}} 23–73. Appeal from denial of registration. The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court. 23–74. Proceedings to court of common pleas. Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as Calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''. 23–75. Further appeal to supreme court. From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make. If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} In other words, in our State, if anybody has an appeal and it goes before the trial judge and he denies it, the supreme court will go into session in order to hear such a case so as to be sure that nobody is deprived of the right to vote. {{smaller block|23–100. Right to vote. No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct. But if the name of any registered elector does not appear or incorrectly appears on the registration books of his polling precinct he shall, nevertheless, be entitled to vote upon the production and presentation to the managers of election of such precinct, in addition to his registration certificate, of a certificate of the clerk of the court of common pleas of his county that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in such clerk’s office or a certificate of the secretary of state that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in the office of the secretary of state. 23–349. Voter not to take more than 5 minutes in booth; talking in booth, etc. No voter, while receiving, preparing and casting his ballot, shall occupy a booth or compartment for a longer time than 5 minutes. No voter shall be allowed to occupy a booth or compartment already occupied by another, nor to speak or converse with anyone, except as herein provided, while in the booth. After having voted, or declined or failed to vote within 5 minutes, the voter shall immediately withdraw from the voting place and shall not enter the polling place again during the election. 23–350. Unauthorized persons not allowed within guard rail; assistance. No person other than a voter preparing his ballot shall be allowed within the guard rail, except as herein provided. A voter who is not required to sign the poll list himself by this title may appeal to the managers for assistance and the chairman of the managers shall appoint one of the managers and a bystander to be designated by the voter to assist him in preparing his ballot. After the voter’s ballot has been prepared the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail. 23–656. Procuring or offering to procure votes by threats. At or before every election, general, special, or primary, any person who shall, by threats or any other form of intimidation, procure or offer or promise to endeavor to procure another to vote for or against any particular candidate in such election shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500 or be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than 1 month nor more than 6 months, or both by such fine and such imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. 23–657. Threatening or abusing voters, etc. If any person shall, at any of the elections, general, special, or primary, in any city, town, ward, or polling precinct, threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage, such offender shall upon conviction thereof suffer fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the court. 23–658. Selling or giving away liquor within 1 mile of voting precinct.

Every person who shall vote at any general, special, or primary election who is not entitled to vote and every person who shall by force, intimidation, deception, fraud, bribery, or undue influence obtain, procure, or control the vote of any voter to be cast for any candidate or measure other than as intended or desired by such voter or who shall violate any of the provisions of this title in regard to general, special, or primary elections shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 or by imprisonment in jail for not less than 3 months nor more than 12 months or both, in the discretion of the court.}} Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, proves that there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right-to-vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and (3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an unusual grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department is not needed because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed, and he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved, and there is no indication that conditions will change unless the Attorney General and the Civil Rights Commission create trouble, there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of civil-rights matters in the Department of Justice. Mr. President, permit me to digress in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the Bill of Rights. I have before me a book entitled “Our Bill of Rights: What It Means To Me—A National Symposium,” edited by James Waterman, Wisconsin: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Foreword}}}} Things of the spirit never die. They flame anew each time they are under fire. They are flaming high at this moment. Bombs may blow the body to bits, but they bind the soul together. This book is testimony to the spirit of man; to his personality; to his right to be decent. From the beginning of time men have had to fight for this sort of life. The fight has never been easy, but it has always been won. As long as men believe in freedom they will achieve it. The Dark Ages shall not return. When freedom dies man lives on his knees. When freedom lives man walks erect. The Bill of Rights is our prayer book and our promise of salvation. The cause of freedom is the cause of God. That is the dedication of this volume. None of us is wise enough to say finally what one event is the greatest in our history. There are some that cry aloud for that description: The Declaration of Independence; the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War; the adoption of the Constitution; the pronouncement of the Monroe Doctrine; the Emancipation Proclamation; the end of the War Between the States; the war for freedom and democracy, begun in 1917—and still going on. I have left to the last, although it belongs at the top, the formulation and adoption of the Bill of Rights—the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, adopted by the baby nation December 15, 1791. In this group of principles are to be found the soul and spirit of the Constitution. With the Bill of Rights added, the Constitution becomes nearly a perfect thing. Without the bill, the seven articles of the original draft are largely given over to the protection of property. Jefferson, shocked by the omissions in the Constitution, as promulgated in 1789, while he was United States Minister to France (another type of France than Vichy represents today), drafted the additions to our great charter. Thus we were given the four freedoms by which we grew strong in self-reliance, in courage, in independence, and in self-respect. The amendments gave us free speech, free press, free worship, free assembly, and also the right to petition. They gave us full protection Of the citizen against oppression; the right of trial by jury and, generally, the right of the individual against the state. Jefferson said himself, speaking in the prophetic tone that is true of great men: “The Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government.” This publication is testimony to an immortal writing that will live with the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, Magna Carta, and those other great fountains of faith by which men live. Today we fight again for the ideals that democracy gives to us as rights. We shall never lose them; the whole world some day will achieve them. To help all of us to realize the high privilege we have of living under the Bill of Rights, the thoughts contained herein were put in words by men and women who believe the fires of freedom must always burn brightly and sometimes fiercely. Now is one of those times. {{right| {{sc|Herbert Bayard Swope,}}{{em|6}}<br /> {{font-size-x|100%|''Chairman, Bill of Rights Sesquicentennial Committee''.}} }} Jefferson himself said, speaking in the prophetic tone that is true of great men: “The Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government.” This publication is testimony to an immortal writing that will live with the Ten Commandments; the Sermon on the Mount; Magna Carta; and those other great fountains of faith by which men live.

Now is one of those times. {{***|5}} America is face to face with certain grim realities. It is apparent that the expense attached to the defense effort will run into an appalling sum. The sweeping readjustments that will eventually reach every family are becoming clearer by the day. The need for redirection of our whole economy in order to supply plants which manufacture implements of war with an abundance of raw materials is now painfully obvious. Yes, the world that we know is being re-fashioned. But so be it, and although the disappearance of familiar patterns and habits of living brings a momentary shock, there must be no regrets, no longing backward glances. Neither can we afford to hang our heads, wring our hands and insist that we cannot defend democracy without destroying it. After all, the only disaster that will overtake us is the disaster that comes from indecision and inaction. I like to remind myself of the origin of the Bill of Rights. It came into being at a time of great distress and clearly represented the desires of the people who had paid a high price for their independence, and were determined to keep it. Since that time it has weathered an internal conflict, foreign wars, periods of economic depression. Even during these emergencies there has been no foreshortening of the scope of the Bill of Rights, nor has its fundamental character been altered. Invariably after these crises have passed each American has turned his face homeward and found, to his intense joy, his personal liberty inviolate. This augurs well for the future. Perhaps the destructive forces loose in the world will assume more awesome proportions than any yet seen; perhaps the dangers and hardships of the civilian population will be greater than ever before; but I cannot believe that these new developments will serve to swerve us from our course any more than the vicissitudes of the past. Undoubtedly it will mean a vigilant citizenry constantly on guard. But we have that. Undoubtedly it will mean leadership of the highest quality, but we have that, too. In fact, I can think of no more impressive reiteration of belief in the Bill of Rights than that made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress last January: “In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. “The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world. “The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world. “The third is freedom from want. * * * “The fourth is freedom from fear. * * * “That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb. “This Nation has placed its destiny in the hands, heads, and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. “To that high concept there can be no end save victory.”}} Mr. President, those were the words of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in speaking of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees a jury trial to the people of the United States, but which the so-called compromise civil-rights bill would deprive the people of. I read further: {{smaller block|We accept our liberty, as we do our health, pretty much as a matter of course, hardly giving it a thought until we begin to lose it. Then we become conscious of how much it means. Experience throughout the long period of human history teaches that liberty must be won in every generation and can be held only by eternal vigilance. As foes of freedom the aggressors reappear with different weapons, but always with the same aim—to destroy the souls of freemen. That religion and democracy are closely linked together is a truism proved amply in the history of our country. The American colonies were settled by men and women seeking a free life, as well as a home for freedom. Religion was written prominently into their agreements, covenants, pacts, and constitutions, but the early colonists made no provision for the the free exercise of religion. Those who had fled before the demands of conformity later determined by law that others must conform or get out of the colony. It was said of Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, if he had found toleration in his dictionary, he would have cut the word out, just as he drew his sword and cut the red cross out of the English flag because it represented the ancient Catholic faith of England. This attitude, formulated into law and supported by stern preaching, led to the founding of Rhode Island by Roger Williams and his associates. They were the first ones to put into practice the principle of the independence of the individual conscience even beyond the grants of liberty by the State. Maryland was founded by a small company of Catholics seeking freedom of worship in 1634, only 14 years after the Protestant Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth. Under Lord Baltimore’s liberal rule there developed a large degree of freedom in religion, as well as a remarkable advance in democratic procedure. The people of Maryland not only took part in making their laws but were given power to originate laws. No other colony at the time enjoyed quite as much freedom, and in 1649 the assembly passed the Toleration Act which confirmed by law these liberties. Following this action, Maryland became the refuge not only for the oppressed Catholics from England, but Protestants from some of the other American colonies, Puritans from Virginia, Quakers, and others who found congenial homes in this colony.}} It is true that the Toleration Act was not very broad in that it tolerated only those of the Christian religion, but it was a step forward on the road to liberty and marked a greater advance than anything even in England at the time. It remained for the colony at Providence, R. I., to advance the act of toleration by granting full religious freedom to Christians and Jews and even to those without any religious affiliation or belief. The act affirmed “that men of all religions should live unmolested so long as they behaved themselves.” The Bill of Rights provides for freedom of religion. Our Bill of Rights provides for many vital rights which we enjoy. The study of the Constitution should be an essential part not only of the education of the American youth, but of all Americans, and especially those who have become naturalized citizens of this great Nation. While all of us cannot be trained in the technicalities of the law, we should have some idea of our fundamental institutions. We need to know their relationship to our daily life, the reasons for their existence, and the benefits we derive from them, as well as the importance to ourselves of their perpetuation. The Constitution is not self-perpetuating by any means; if it is to survive it will be because it has the support of the people—not passive, but active public support. This means making adequate sacrifice to maintain that which is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. The Constitution has its roots in the great and heroic past of the English-speaking race. Today, under that Constitution which was adopted through the blood and sweat of the pioneers of our country, the safeguard of personal liberty is ever present. Under our great Bill of Rights our governmental power is divided into three parts. The first is the power granted to the Central Government; the second that reserved to the States; and the third, and by far the most important, although at times the fact may not be generally recognized, the power reserved to the people under the many inhibitions upon both State and Federal legislation. In the turmoil which now seems to have engulfed the entire world, the citizens of the United States should well remember particularly that it is the people, those who go to make up the great cross-section of this country, who must guard the ramparts from the ever-increasing dangers of nazism, fascism, and communism. Our Constitution is the final safeguard of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure, but should it fall into disrespect or disrepute the way of orderly, organized government as we have known it for the past 150 years will be at an end. When the Federal Constitution was, on September 28, 1787, submitted by Congress to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, there was very strong opposition to its adoption in all the States. The Democrats, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, feared that the provisions of the instrument would unduly abridge States rights and result in a Government too highly centralized for their views. It was necessary for nine States to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth State, New Hampshire, gave its approval. The States which had not ratified up to that time were Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Virginia and New York gave their assent in 1788. When President Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Hall in New York, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had ratified and, therefore, were not States of the United States. These two reluctant States did, however, come into line. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The Bill of Rights was a pacer in the democratic movement in America and as such is entitled to all the prestige of leadership. Yet it really took a century after its enactment for American women to procure the 19th amendment to the Federal Constitution which compelled reluctant States to grant them the basic right of the free—the right to vote. Non-Christian men and freethinkers of their sex more readily wrested from State legislatures the guaranty of their civil rights. But even the original Bill of Rights would have been a dead letter if dauntless men and women, risking death, had not taught the public to listen without rioting to opinions which it abhorred. That educational process enabled the letter of the law to live in practice, or application, for the American way of life. In celebrating the original Bill of Rights now, we should celebrate with it the courage and skill of the men and the women who made tolerance a fact as well as a principle of law. The open forum, so characteristic of American democracy, owes its inception and its continuation to persons of both sexes who insisted that law and practice were parts of the same thing. That rights carry duties has become a third aspect of democratic evaluations, nurtured on free debates. It is increasingly understood in America that liberty could become license; that rights if viewed as extreme personal privileges could reduce society to anarchy. There is today, in connection with rights, the wide prevalence of the philosophy that rights are granted to individuals in order that they may develop their talents for competent voluntary cooperation in the thought and action essential to the strength of society, to general welfare, and to the very endurance of civil liberties themselves. A history of civilization could be written around the derivation of the privileges that constitute our Bill of Rights. The emphasis would be not on rulers and governments but on the struggle mankind has waged for centuries to obtain recognition of the rights of individual men. These rights are guaranties necessary to any people who wish to live in the free atmosphere of liberty. They are the foundation of any government that exists by the free will of the governed and not by the military force of self-appointed rulers. The history of our own Bill of Rights is fired with the determination of the American people to preserve their liberties as individuals living in a free state. It is significant that these first 10 amendments in our Constitution were drawn from earlier declarations of rights which a number of the Original Thirteen States had formulated for themselves before they joined the Union. They not only served as models for our Federal Constitution but became basic patterns for new democracies all over the world. Today there is abroad in the world a monstrous force that would set the clock back and reestablish regimes that rank the state above the individual. Already in many lands fundamental rights have been destroyed; and the existence of our own is threatened. Such crises have occurred before in the history of man but never with such ruthless vehemence and on such a worldwide scale. Mr. President, there are many objections to H. R. 6127, but the strongest objection is the failure to give a jury trial. I wish now to present to the Senate some information on the jury trial and I shall go into the historical development of the jury system. This information is coming from the History of the Jury System, by Maximus A. Lesser, instructor of political science, New York Evening High School. Some very important points are brought out here about the jury system which are pertinent to this debate. {{smaller block|{{c| {{sc|Historical Development of the Jury System}} (By Maximus A. Lesser) {{asc|CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JURY}} }} The subject we propose to investigate is the historical genesis and gradual development of an institution which, today is an inseparable element of English jurisprudence and an important factor in the administration of justice, wherever the English or common law, “* * * the State’s collected will, o’er thrones and globes elate, sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.” This purpose is not free from difficulties, for, while the nature and functions of the tribunal, as today existent, are sufficiently well comprehended, still the origin of that institution and the successive steps by which it was evolved are less clearly understood and subject to considerable misconception, as is evinced by the many and conflicting theories advanced in explanation thereof. It is the object of this treatise to reconcile, as far as may be, these various views, to give to each well sustained suggestion its proper weight and effect during the formative period, and to trace its influence in the production of the result. The method of treatment is, in general, chronological; for the English jury is so closely interwoven with the historical and political development of the English nation, that every component which contributed to the formation and completion of the latter had a concomitant effect upon the former; accordingly, the history and features of each foreign factor will be described in connection with that period of our history at which it first made itself felt. For to the jury may be truly applied, what Maine says of law, that it is a matter of growth, the result of the needs of the community in which it originated; and an institution—as another writer well observes—which “does not owe its existence to any positive law; it is not the creature of an act of Parliament establishing the form and defining the functions of the new tribunal. It arose * * * silently and gradually out of the usages of a state of society which has forever passed away.” We will, in the first place, regard its general aspect and characteristics as beheld today, and then proceed to consider whether, and in what respects, it is resembled by institutions of early days. The body with which we have to deal—in the language of an able Scotch jurist—“is the institution by which disputed facts are to be decided for judicial purposes in the administration of civil or criminal justice, and which is in modern times familiar to us under the denomination of trial by jury. * * * The etymological derivation of the term is obviously from ''juro'', to swear, whence we find this institution called in forensic Latin ''jurata'', and the persons composing it ''jurati''. * * * When the object is inquiry only, this tribunal is sometimes called an inquest or inquisition, as in the instance of a grand jury or coroner’s inquest; but when facts are to be determined by it for judicial purposes, it is always styled a jury.” This board of inquiry, then, is composed of “a body of men taken from the community at large, summoned to find the truth of disputed facts. Their office is to decide upon the effect of evidence and thus inform the court truly upon the question at issue, in order that the latter may be enabled to pronounce a right judgment. But they are not the court itself nor do they form part of it; and have nothing to do with the sentence which follows the delivery of their verdict.” While, concerning the third characteristic element of our jury, De Lolme wrote that they who have the power to discriminate between disputed facts and “to whom the law has thus exclusively delegated the prerogative of deciding that a punishment is to be inflicted—those men without whose declaration the executive and the judicial powers are both thus bound down to inaction, do not form among themselves a permanent body, who may have had time to study how their power can serve to promote their private views or interest; they are men selected at once from among the people, who perhaps never were before called to the exercise of such a function, nor foresee that they ever shall be called to it again.” In other words, the jury is the sole judge of the weight of evidence adduced and the arbiter of compensation for contracts broken or injuries sustained, and is composed of men selected by lot and “sworn to declare the facts of a case as they are delivered from the evidence placed before them”—its province being to determine the truth of facts or the amount of damages in civil, and the guilt or innocence of the accused in criminal, cases. This province is confined by the following limitations: (1) It is restricted to the consideration of matters proved by evidence at the trial; (2) It is subject to the instructions of the judge, concerning the rules of law applicable; (3) It is influenced by the directions of the judge, as to weight, value, and materiality of evidence; (4) It is affected by the selection of the jurors from the locality of the action, whence they discharge their duties with a certain amount of independent local knowledge, whilom “counted on, and deemed essential to a just consideration of the case.” Two other qualifications may be added. After the rendition of a verdict in a civil case, it is still within the power of the trial judge to modify or even annul the same, in a proper case; for instance, “because the verdict is for excessive or insufficient damages, or otherwise contrary to the evidence or contrary to law.” Again, in a criminal case, a verdict of conviction, even when accompanied by a recommendation of mercy, does not control the sentence to be meted out by the presiding magistrate, who may impose the highest or lowest or any intermediate penalty prescribed by law as proper for the offense committed. How, then, did this institution, whose features as currently administered have just been described, originate? What are the sources from whence it arose, and the forces by which it was developed? Did it spring forth, like Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, ready for action and fully equipped with forensic vesture and legal armament, or was its development the result of the gradual accretion of successive strata of growth? As stated above, various and conflicting theories are advanced to answer these queries. “Many writers of authority,” says Canon Stubbs, “have maintained that the entire jury system indigenous in England, some deriving it from Celtic tradition based on the principles of Roman law, and adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans from the people they had conquered, others have regarded it as a product of that legal genius of the Anglo-Saxons of which Alfred is the mythic impersonation, or as derived by that nation from the customs of primitive Germany or from their intercourse with the Danes. Nor even, when it is admitted that the system of recognition was introduced from Normandy, have legal writers agreed as to the source from which the Normans themselves derived it. One scholar maintains that it was brought by the Norsemen from Scandinavia; another, that it was derived from the processes of the Canon Law; another, that it was developed on Gallic soil from Roman principles; another, that it came from Asia through the Crusades.” An American authority insists that it “is undoubtedly a development of English institutions and civilization.” Again, it is suggested that it was borrowed by the Angles and Saxons from their Slavonic neighbors in northern Europe; it has been traced to the assises de Jerusalem of Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed to be of divine origin; and, finally, a French scholar despairingly exclaims: “Son origine se perd dans la niut de temps.” According to Robertson, “the true answer is, that forms of trial resembling the jury system in various particulars are to be found in the primitive institutions of all [Aryan] nations. That which comes nearest in time and character to trial by jury is the system of recognition by sworn inquest, introduced into England by the Normans * * * the instrument which the lawyers in England ultimately shaped into trial by jury.” The name “Recognition,” Bracton tells us, is deduced from the fact that the participants “acknowledged” a disseisin or dispossession by their verdict, and the inquest itself was “directly derived from the Frank capitularies, into which it may have been adopted from the fiscal regulations of the Theodosian Code and thus own some distant relationship with the Roman jurisprudence.” This is the system which, Lord Campbell writes, “in the fifth Norman reign had nearly superseded the simple juridical institutions of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors;” while an eminent American jurist, after observing that investigation has shown among Norman legal usages traces more closely resembling our form of jury trial than anything afforded by the system of the Anglo-Saxons, concludes: “We regard it, therefore, as certain that all these influences contributed to establish this mode of trial in England, and to shape it as we know it to exist there. Indeed, it was not until all of them had had an opportunity of completing their work, that we find what we should now call a jury.” A due regard for the definiteness of legal phraseology calls for some comment on the meaning of “law and fact,” terms so frequently employed in the course of this work. Law, in its widest sense, is a rule of action; in its technical sense, it is a general rule of human action, taking cognizance only of external acts, enforced by a determinate human authority paramount within a state. Whether the rule so enforced be moral or pernicious, is impertinent to the question. “The existence of law is one thing, its merit or demerit another.” Again, “although human actions are the subject-matter about which law is conversant, they are not essential to its existence; for the rule is the same, whether its application is called forth or not. * * * The rule continues in abstraction and theory, until an act is done on which it can attach. * * * The maxim, ''ex facto oritur jus'' must be understood in this sense; and the duty of judicial tribunals, consequently, embraces the investigation of doubtful or disputed facts, as well as the application of the principles of jurisprudence to such as are ascertained.” Fact is a term most difficult to define—so much so that Mr. Justice Stephen (in the third edition of his Digest of the Law of Evidence) abandoned the attempt previously made. Webster’s definition (ed. 1859) is: “Anything done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event.” Negatively, a learned American jurist suggests that “nothing is a question of fact which is not a question of the existence, reality, truth of something.” Anything which is the subject of testimony is “matter of fact,” while “matter of law” is the general law of the land of which courts take judicial cognizance. Evidence is the means or method by which a fact under judicial examination may be proved or disproved. “Whether there be any evidence, is a question for the judge. Whether sufficient evidence, is for the jury.” In any event, it is clear that the formula of Coke, hereinabove quoted, “was never meant to be taken absolutely. * * * It relates to issues of fact, and not to the incidental questions that spring up before the parties are at issue. The jury has to do with only a limited class of questions of fact, namely, questions of ultimate fact.” “In general, issues of fact, and only issues of fact, are to be tried by jury; when they are so tried, the jury and not the court are to find the facts, and the court and not the jury is to give the rule of law; the jury are not to refer the evidence to the judge and ask his judgment upon that, but are to find the facts which the evidence tends to establish, and may only ask the court for judgment upon these.”}} Mr. President, I shall next take up the history of the jury system of the Anglo-Saxons: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Chapter VI.—The System of the Anglo-Saxons}}}} As regards the manner of men who now directed the destinies of England—for under that name (derived from the Angles) the island is henceforth known—and who indelibly impressed their characteristics upon it, and concerning their status in the scale of civilization, a graphic description is afforded us by the same historian. They “were little removed from the original state of nature; the social confederacy among them was more martial than civil; they had chiefly in view the means of attack and defense against public enemies, not those of protection against their fellow citizens; their possessions were so slender and so equal that they were not exposed to great danger, and the natural bravery of the people made every man trust to himself and to his particular friends for his defense. * * * An insult upon any man was regarded by his relations and associates as a common injury; they were bound by honor, as well as by a sense of common interest, to revenge his death or any violence which he had suffered; they retaliated on the aggressor by like acts of violence; and if he were protected, as was natural and unusual, by his own clan, the quarrel was spread still wider and bred endless disorders in the nation.” Such, then, was the state of civilization which the Saxons enjoyed, and such the social and political structure which superseded the administration of the Romans. For almost four centuries the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—true to the characteristics of their founders—present a history of uninterrupted warfare, bloodshed and internecine strife, though Christianity had meanwhile prevailed among them. Wessex, however, gradually acquired the hegemony, and in A. D. 827 its King Egbert succeeded in securing his acknowledgment as supreme head of the heptarchy, with which event the history of the English nation properly begins. Concerning their civil and social condition, at this period, after a sojourn of 400 years on English soil, it appears that “though they had been so long settled in the island [they] seem not as yet to have been much improved beyond their German ancestors, either in arts, civility, knowledge, humanity, justice, or obedience to the laws. * * * Bounty to the church atoned for every violence against society.” It cannot be doubted that, under ordinary circumstances, nationalization would have paved the way to improvements in the administration of justice, which, under the primitive system and the constant wars of the Saxons, had sadly degenerated. For, since “their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious * * * a union also in government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility. * * * But these flattering views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, kept the Anglo-Saxons in perpetual inquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude.” The first great landmark in the history of English law is the reign of King Alfred (871–901), who, after he had restored peace, and either settled the Danes in or expelled them from the country, turned his attention to the administration of justice, which had become a mere name. His political and juridical institutions are recorded by Hume, as follows: “That he might render the execution of justice strict and regular, he divided all England into counties; these counties he divided into hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. Every householder was answerable for the behavior of his family. * * * Ten neighboring householders were formed into one corporation, who, under the name of a tithing, decennary, or fribourg, were answerable for each other’s conduct, and over whom one person, called a tithingman, headbourg, or borsholder, was appointed to preside. Every man was punished as an outlaw who did not register himself in some tithing. “By this institution, every man was obliged from his own interest to keep a watchful eye on the conduct of his neighbors; and was in a manner surety for the behavior of those who were placed under the division to which he belonged. Whence these decennaries received the name of frankpledges. The barsholder summoned together the whole decennary to assist him in deciding any lesser difference which occurred among the members. In appeals from the decennary, or in controversies arising between members of different decennaries, the case was brought before the hundred, which consisted of 10 decennaries or 100 families of freemen, and which was regularly assembled once in 4 weeks for the deciding of causes. (Leg. Edw. c. 2.) “Their method of decision deserves to be noted, as being”—at least in our historian’s opinion—“the origin of juries. * * * Twelve freeholders were chosen, who, having sworn (together with the hundred or presiding magistrate of that division) to administer impartial justice, proceeded to the examination of that cause which was submitted to their jurisdiction. And besides these monthly meetings of the hundred, there was an annual meeting appointed * * * for the inquiry into crimes, the correction of abuses, and other matters of public concern. If a further appeal were desired, or in controversies between members of different hundreds, the case was brought before the freeholders of the county (or shire) over whom the bishop together with the alderman presided. A final appeal lay to the King himself. “Formerly the alderman possessed both the civil and military authority; but Alfred * * * appointed also a sheriff in each county, who enjoyed a coordinate authority with the former in his judicial (as distinguished from the military) function. His office also empowered him to guard the rights of the crown in the county, and to levy the fines imposed.” Such was the system established by Alfred, and adhered to by his successors as far as those turbulent times permitted. For its promotion and perpetuation, as well as for the guidance of the magistrates, on whom the duty to administer it was incumbent, the same king—according to our historical guide—“framed a body of laws which, though now lost, served long as the basis of English jurisprudence, and is generally deemed the origin of what is denominated the common law.” While his judgment concerning the paternity of the system is, that “the similarity of these institutions to the customs of the ancient Germans, and to the Saxon laws during the heptarchy, prevents us from regarding Alfred as the sole author of this plan of government, and leads us rather to think that he contented himself with reforming, extending, and executing the institutions which he found previously established.” Thus far Hume, whose profound historical researches, combined with his early legal training, certainly entitle his opinion to much weight. But the existence, among the Saxons, of any institution resembling the jury has been hotly contested, and the dispute whether it was known to the Anglo-Saxons or introduced as a result of the Norman conquest, may be thus summarized: Coke (in his Institutes), Spelman (Glossarium Archaiologicum), Blackstone (Com. III., ch. 23), Nicholson (preface to Wilkin’s Anglo-Saxon Laws), and Turner (Hist. Anglo-Saxons, IV., book XI., ch. 9) ascribe it to Saxon paternity. On the other hand, Hickes (Dissert. Epist. p. 34), Reeves (Hist. Eng. Law, I., 22, 24), and Palgrave (Rise and Progress of Commonwealth, I, 243) claim with equal confidence that it was introduced by or at least derived from the Normans and was not of Anglo-Saxon origin. So Judge Cooley (Am. Cycl. IX. 722) approvingly observes that “so many of the attendant circumstances indicate that it was a Norman institution, bestowed upon his English subjects by a Norman king, that Sir Francis Palgrave has not hesitated to consider our jury trial as derived directly from Norman law” and Mr. Macclachlan (Eng. Cycl. III., 24) remarks: “Without entering minutely into this controversy, it may be stated that the traces of the trial by jury, in the form in which it existed for several centuries after the conquest, are more distinctly discernible in the ancient customs of Normandy than in the few and scanty fragments of Anglo-Saxon law which have descended to our time.” The conclusion reached by Mr. Forsyth affords perhaps the fairest statement of the case, and may be advantageously quoted in this place: “It may be confidently asserted that trial by jury was unknown to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors; and the idea of its existence in their legal system has arisen from a want of attention to the radical distinction between the members or judges composing a court, and a body of men set apart from that court, but summoned to attend in order to determine conclusively the facts of the case in dispute. This is the principle on which is founded the intervention of a jury; and no trace whatever can be found of such an institution in Anglo-Saxon times. “If it has existed,” he continues, “it is utterly inconceivable that distinct mention of it should not frequently have occurred in the body of Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary chronicles which we possess, extending from the time of Ethelbert (568–616) to the Norman Conquest (1066). Those who have fancied that they discover indications of its existence during that period, have been misled by false analogies and inattention to the distinguishing features of the jury trial which have been previously pointed out. While, however, we assert that it was unknown in Saxon times, it is nevertheless true that we can recognize the traces of a system which paved the way for its introduction, and rendered its adaptation at a later period [the reign of Henry II.] neither unlikely nor abrupt. * * * Of the exact mode in which trials were conducted in these [ante-Norman] courts, we know little; but the Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporaneous annals make frequent mention of two classes of witnesses, who play a most important part in the judicial proceedings of the time.” These are compurgators and official witnesses, who, together with other features of their system, will be more fully considered hereafter. With the demise of King Alfred, his system gradually lost ground. “During the reign of eight kings who succeeded Alfred,” wrote Gilmans, “the country suffered constant invasions from Denmark, which became so oppressive that in 991 the King, Ethelred II., agreed to pay the Danes 10,000 pounds, called danegelt, to buy immunity. This sum was raised by a tax on land, the first one recorded in English history.” Eleven years later the same King planned and partly executed a general massacre of foreigners in the island (Danemort) which led to a fierce attack from the Danes, to the expulsion of the King, and to the establishment of Sweyn as ruler of England. His son Canute married Ethelred’s widow, a sister of the Duke of Normandy, in order, as it were, to legitimize his title, to strengthen his alliances, and to make secure the succession of his line. When Canute, the Dane, mounted the English throne (1014) it might be supposed that he would transplant to, and incorporate in the system of, England the Danish quasi-jury or Nævninger—an institution common, with modifications, to all the Scandinavian nations—which derived its appellation from the fact of being composed of a fixed number of men (usually 12) named by the inhabitants of each district; a majority of those so chosen was competent to render a decision (subject to the ratification of the bishop and 8 best men of the district) in civil suits; while in criminal cases the accuser was obliged to convince the Nævn by sworn evidence of the truth of his charge, before the accused would be subjected to a public trial—this institution thus combining the functions of grand and petit jury with the exercise of judicial powers. Canute, however, who was a lineal descendant of Alfred, and desirous of emulating that monarch, adopted a policy of conciliation toward the English. He had his succession to the throne ratified by a general assembly (Witenagemot) and publicly consented to restore and observe the Saxon customs and laws. In 1030, he addressed a letter “To all the Nations of the English”—under which designation he also meant to include the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—in which he said: “Be it known to you all, that I have dedicated my life to God, to govern my kingdom with justice, and to observe the right in all things.” That is, he refrained from making any essential innovations or alterations in the systems (political or judicial) to which his several dominions were accustomed, and in consequence Danish rule had no tangible formative effect on English jurisprudence. The last of the Saxon line who ruled in England—chosen by the people when Sweyn’s family became extinct—was Edward the Confessor (1042–66) whom Hume deems commendable for his attention to the administration of justice, and his compiling for that purpose a body of laws which he collected from the laws of Ethelbert, Ina, and Alfred. This compilation, though now lost (for the laws that pass under Edward’s name were composed afterward) was long the object of affection to the English nation. {{c|{{asc|CHAPTER VII.—FORMS OF TRIAL AND TRIBUNALS AMONG THE SAXONS}}}} Having examined the social and political status of the Saxons in England, as evidenced by their history and environment, we may expect to find, on considering the judicial institutions, their personal characteristics reflected therein. Here, as there, we distinguish the same primitive system of administration, the same rudimentary ideas of right, the same regard for the efficacy of clerical absolution, the same adherence to old and meaningless forms, and the same reverence for the vis major. The judicial system of the Anglo-Saxons depended for its administration on, and consisted of, four distinct factors or elements: these were, sectatores or suitors of court, the secta or suit of witnesses, official witnesses, and compurgators. These have been generally confounded or at least not clearly distinguished, and the misconception of their proper functions has given rise to many ingenious theories. In general it may be said that of all these functionaries the first class only performed judicial duties; the second and the third were species of witnesses; the fourth officiated (at least originally) in criminal cases only, while none of them were jurors. A delineation of the functions of each will be given, and a distinction attempted. The name of sectatores is applied by Forsyth to the limited number of freemen “who attended the hundred, county, and manorial courts, to try offenses and determine disputes there; * * * and the obligation to attend was in the nature of a tenure, for neglect of which they might be distrained to appear.” For, in accordance with the customs of those days, “to do suit at a county or other inferior court was * * * one of the common tenures by which land was held, and the suitors, called sectatores, or * * * at a later period pares, were therefore bound to give their attendance.” Anciently their number appears to have depended on chance or convenience; nor do they appear to have acted always under the sanction of an oath; for to Reeves “it seems that causes in the county and other courts were heard and determined by an indefinite number of persons called sectatores,” of whom “the frequent mention,” he continues, “is no proof of juries, properly so-called, being known to our Saxon ancestors.” It would seem that this form of judicial tribunal was the modified outcome of a feature of the elaborate county system established by Alfred, and a result of the alterations necessitated and the encroachments caused by the incessant warfare prevalent after the death of that monarch, which must have greatly affected his system of government. The whole matter, however, is involved in much obscurity, and will be resumed, to some extent, in the chapter treating of the ''judicium parium''. Concerning the second of the four classes, Professor Robertson observes: “The trial ''per sectam'' * * * resembled in principle the system of compurgation. The plaintiff proved his case by vouching a certain number of witnesses (secta) who had seen the transaction in question, and the defendant rebutted the presumption thus created by vouching a larger number of witnesses on his own side.” It was thus an application to civil suits of the principle, which governed the system of compurgation in relation to criminal causes. At a later period in Saxon history, however, it seems that compurgation was also extended to (and thus superseded the use of the secta in) * * * civil proceedings; or, at least, that the term “compurgation” was employed to designate both the criminal and the civil (''i. e.'', the sectatory) method. Indeed, the very name of secta became an alternative term for sectatores—the judges above described—which led to the confounding of the one with the other, and bred endless confusion and mistake. At a more advanced period of the Anglo-Saxon dominion, when the defects of their mode of evidence and system of trial became perceptible even to their untutored minds, an attempt was made to partially remedy these defects by the official appointment in each district of sworn witnesses, whose duty it was to attest therein all sales, endowment of a woman ''ad ostium ecclesiae'', and the execution of charters. They were not subject to cross-examination, and their oath was decisive in case of dispute. Later, persons peculiarly qualified by circumstances (though not preappointed), were similarly sworn to prove age, ownership of chattels, and the death of one in whose estate dower was claimed. Hence in the Year Books (16 Edw. II., 507, A. D. 1323) we read complaint that one “may name ses cosyns et ses auns, who by his procurement will decide against us.” The most important of the four elements, and that destined to play the largest part in the development of trial by jury, was compurgation. Under the Saxon system, in criminal cases the charge of the prosecutor or accuser sufficed to put the accused on his defense. This defense was by means of the process of compurgation, which was in vogue among the various Teutonic nations (12 being the usual number) and rested on the maxim: “Nobilis homo ingenuus—cum duodecim ingenuis se purget.” Compurgators may be defined as persons, who supported by their oaths the credibility of the party accused, pledging their belief in the latter’s denial of the charge brought against him. These were in no sense witnesses, for they might be wholly ignorant of the real facts in dispute; nor were they a jury, for no evidence was submitted to their consideration. They were merely friends of the party who summoned them; they knew his character, and by their united oaths they at once attested that character and their confidence in his truthfulness and the justice of his cause. This mode of trial was brought into England by the Saxons, and Judge Cooley thus describes it: “Then the party accused—or, in later times, the party plaintiff or defendant—appeared with his friends, and they swore, he laying his hand on theirs and swearing with them, to the innocence of the accused, or to the claim or defense of the party. Little is certainly known either of the origin or of the extent, in point of time or of country, over which the trial by compurgators prevailed; but it must have had great influence over the subsequent forms of procedure. It fixed the number of the traverse (''i. e.'', the petit or trial) jury at 12, that being the common number of compurgators * * * and this was a great improvement on the varying and sometimes very large number in Greece and Rome.” Where the compurgators coincided in a favorable declaration, there was a complete acquittal. But if the accused was unable to present a sufficient number of these purgers; or, “if the party had been before accused of larceny or perjury, or had otherwise been rendered infamous and was thought not worthy of credit—he was driven to make out his innocence by an appeal to heaven, in the trial by ordeal,” which was practiced either by the boiling water or the red-hot iron; the former being supplied to the common people, while the latter was reserved for the nobility. The nature of this institution is so curious and interesting, and its peculiarities throw so much light on the character of that age, as to warrant a fuller consideration of this primitive predecessor and sometime competitor of our criminal jury. If the accused was sentenced to undergo the ordeal by hot water, “he was to put his head into it or his whole arm, according to the degree of the offense: if it was by cold water, his thumbs were tied to his toes, and in this posture he was thrown into it. If he escaped unhurt by the boiling water (which might easily be contrived by the art of the priests), or if he sunk in the cold water, which would certainly happen, he was declared innocent. If he was hurt by the boiling water or swum in the cold, he was considered as guilty.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator tell me the name of the case he is reading? Mr. THURMOND. It is the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. This so-called amendment that came from the House does not provide for a jury trial unless the judge in his discretion sees fit to give one; or unless he imposes punishment of more than 45 days’ imprisonment or a fine of more than $300. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator quoting at this point from a particular case, and, if so, will the Senator give us the name of the case? Mr. THURMOND. I am not quoting from a case at this particular time. I am going back into the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And to show how through the life of this Nation the jury trial has developed. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And how our forefathers in writing the Constitution put into it by article III., section 2, under which a man charged with a crime is entitled to a trial by jury. To remove any further doubt, when the Bill of Rights was written the same provision was made in several places. The sixth amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees a man charged with a crime the right to a jury trial. During the night, probably about 4 or 5 o’clock this morning, I did cite a case holding that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man who is being tried for criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know whether it has ever been held that criminal contempt is not a crime under the law of the Nation? Mr. THURMOND. I do not know of any decision in the courts where criminal contempt has not been considered a crime, and I have had all the authorities and ran them down. Criminal contempt is a crime. We have a decision on that point. When a man is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a trial by jury. However, under this proposal, the so-called compromise which came from the House, he will not get a jury trial unless the judge, out of the goodness of his heart, says “I think you are entitled to a jury trial, and I am going to give you one.” Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Or unless the judge tries him first and finds him guilty and finds that he should be punished by more than 45 days’ imprisonment or $300 fine, in which event he can give him a new trial. The judge tries him once, and then he will be tried again. I think there again the so-called compromise is unconstitutional because you cannot put a man in jeopardy two times. If he is tried once, he has been in jeopardy and he cannot be put in jeopardy again. The whole thing is a concoction to get a compromise on something for civil rights. It is purely an endeavor to get some kind of compromise; but it violates the Constitution, and I hope the Senate and the Congress will not pass it. Even people who believe in civil rights and have fought for civil rights are of that opinion. The distinguished Senator from Minnesota [Mr. {{sc|Humphrey}}] has made many speeches on civil rights. I remember one he made in 1948 at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, which I did not like at all because I am a States righter and not a so-called civil righter. I believe in real civil rights, but not the kind of civil rights which are being alleged here. I do not know how Senators who really believe in civil rights and who know the Constitution can vote for a bill which flatfootedly violates several provisions of the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know of any greater civil right any person possesses in any nation than the right to a trial by a jury of his peers and his neighbors when he is accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot imagine any civil right I would rather possess were I charged with a crime. I do not know of any civil right that is more vital to the people of the United States than the right of trial by jury. I do not know of any civil right that one could envision that could be more important. The right of trial by jury is most important because a man may be tried for his life. If he is not tried for his life, he can be put in prison. He can have his liberty taken away from him. It is only after trial by jury that a man in this Nation can have his liberty taken away from him. I do not want a judge to try me if I ever have to be tried. I want 12 of my peers, 12 of my fellow countrymen, as the Constitution provides. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Is not the right to trial by jury, in which a person accused of a crime to challenge any prejudiced person who might be on the jury venire one of the possible differences between the free system of government that exists in this Nation and other free nations as compared to the system of government that exists in Communist nations? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Senator has the vision to see and realize the importance of what jury trial means to the people of this Nation. I quoted during the night Associate Justice Brennan of the Supreme Court. I do not think a man could have made a stronger address than he made on the jury-trial question. Justice Brennan made a powerful argument for a jury trial even in automobile-accident cases. Even where property is involved—not liberty, not life, but property—he believed there should be protection to the citizen through jury trial. Under the so-called compromise civil-rights bill a judge can put a man in jail for 45 days, and some judges will do so if they have the opportunity. They will make it exactly 45 days if they want to punish a man. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Under the facts stated in regard to the situation in Washington Parish, La., it was contended that more than 1,000 colored people were denied voting rights. I am not sure if that was correct or not. Perhaps those people should or should not be on the rolls. But assuming the charge was correct, it would be possible for a judge in that case to put a person in jail for {{SIC|4,500|45,000}} days without a jury trial, alleging that there were 1,000 different offenses. Mr. THURMOND. I see no reason why he could not, if he tries the defendant on each separate offense, which I think he would have to do to sentence him for more than 45 days. If he tries the accused for one act of depriving a person of his right to vote, there would be only one act, and 45 days in my opinion would be the limit. But if a judge saw fit to try a man and sentence him to prison for 45 days, he could try him again on another charge with respect to a man who claims his rights were violated in connection with voting and the defendant could be given another 45 days. I do not think there is any limit to that. I think he could keep filing them. Mr. LONG: Is it not conceivable following such a procedure a judge could put a man in jail for his natural lifetime without a jury trial? Suppose he alleges that the defendant prevented 2,000 people from registering. That would be 90,000 days he could put the man in jail without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. While I think theoretically that is possible, I do not think actually it would be practicable. But it is theoretically possible to do that. I wish to read the distinguished Senator what Associate Justice Brennan said: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it.}} What is the Congress doing here if they let a judge try a man for criminal contempt, which is a crime? I quote Associate Justice Brennan further: {{smaller block|One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence—}} In my State they cannot comment on the evidence and I do not believe they can in the State of the Senator from Louisiana, can they? In a few cases I believe they can. Mr. LONG. No; not in a criminal case. Mr. THURMOND. I do not believe they can even instruct the jury except as the parties request instruction. In some States the judge cannot charge the jury at all except where the parties request him to instruct, so jealously is the right of trial by jury regarded, leaving to the 12 fellow countrymen, 12 peers of the defendant, the authority to decide the case. I wish to quote further from Associate Justice Brennan: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies, and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question to my distinguished colleague from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. I regret that because of my ill health, of which the Senator is aware, I was unable to be here. Mr. THURMOND. I am sorry, too. I thought about the distinguished Senator a great deal and inquired about him. Mr. LANGER. I am sure during the night sometime the distinguished Senator from South Carolina discussed how the jury system came into being; is that correct? The divine right of kings principle was set aside and the jury system installed in its place. Mr. THURMOND. That is right. I am going now into the history of the jury system. That is the very thing I am discussing now. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that in the State of South Carolina—and, I might say, it is true in some of the other States—the higher courts have set aside verdicts of guilty because of the presence of prejudiced jurors or jurors who did not tell the truth on their examination, when they were asked if they knew anything about the facts. We have always been extremely jealous under the Constitution to see that every defendant receives a fair and honest trial. I know that there have been such cases in the State of South Carolina as the type to which I have referred. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. I was a trial judge for 8 years, and came into close contact with jurors. I know how jurors feel. I know how the people feel. The citizens of this country believe in the jury system. It is a part of their nature to believe in the jury system. Those who have talked with me do not like the fact that the bill provides for compromising the Constitution in order to get a compromise civil-rights bill. We should not compromise the Constitution. That is exactly what this so-called compromise bill does, on the jury-trial question. Mr. LANGER. I am sure that when the distinguished Senator was a judge, if any efforts were made to influence a jury, either by telephone or letter, if the judge became aware of it, he promptly declared a mistrial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is correct. Any judge would set aside a verdict if a juror were influenced. Judges are human. Some people look upon a Federal judge as sacrosanct, so to speak—clothed with a robe, high, mighty, and arrogant. They are human, and they are subject to the errors of human nature, just as any other citizen is. They should not be entrusted with this great power, involving the liberty of our people, in violation of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that once in a while there is a dishonest judge. Is not that true? Mr. THURMOND. I presume it is. However, I have never heard of any in South Carolina. Mr. LANGER. We had a very dishonest Federal judge in the State of North Dakota at one time. I had personal experience with him. Time and again during my service in the Senate I have charged that judge with being dishonest. He is still alive. I did not rely upon Congressional immunity. I have made that statement often. I have never been sued for it, and I know very well that I never will be. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the distinguished Senator would not want such a judge to try him for criminal contempt, which is a crime. I am certain that the distinguished Senator from North Dakota would want a jury to try him. Is not that correct? Mr. LANGER. That is certainly correct. I believe that in the State of South Carolina, or any other State, the people will insist not only on good, honest judges, but also on seeing to it that the jury system is kept unimpaired. Mr. THURMOND. Some of the proponents of the bill think they are going to punish the South. However, the bill applies to every American. The bill will fly back in the faces of some of its proponents and their friends, and they will be surprised. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to discuss this question with the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. I was discussing the history of the jury system. I continue to read from “History of the Jury System,” in the chapter entitled “Trials and Tribunals Among the Saxons.” {{smaller block|It will be observed that it was the priests who had charge of administering these tests of innocence—termed ''judicia dei''—and they doubtless reaped a rich harvest from the monopoly of this privilege, commensurate with the wealth and the guilt of the accused.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator further yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In view of the fact that I mentioned a dishonest judge, I should like to give an illustration of how a dishonest judge operates. In the first place, when it is desired to obtain a jury which is dishonest, a special assistant United States marshal will be appointed. The marshal will walk into a store, for example, and say, “Mr. Jones, I would like to have you take 100 subscriptions to a certain newspaper.” The man behind the counter might say, “Why should I take a hundred subscriptions?” The marshal may say, “We are fighting the Governor of the State.” If the man takes 100 subscriptions, and pays $100, or $1 apiece for a year, his name goes into the jury box; and if he does not subscribe, his name does not go into the jury box. In the case to which I have reference, the slips which were put into the box were different. The names of those who were prejudiced against a defendant would be written on wide slips. The names of those who were not so prejudiced were written upon narrow slips. A clerk was conniving with the judge. I may say that later the clerk went to the penitentiary. He would feel around until he felt a broad slip, and withdraw that slip. A Federal judge has a vast amount of power. A judge may say, “I am not going to allow any of the defense lawyers to examine any prospective jurors. Let them write out their questions and submit them to me, and I will ask the prospective jurors whether or not they are prejudiced, or what answers they have to the questions.” Two or three days might be consumed in the effort to get a fair jury; but because of the fact that the Federal judge will not allow the lawyers for the defendant to ask any questions, the judge will finally get a jury which has not been thoroughly examined from the viewpoint of the defendant. That is not all. A dishonest judge, by the tone of his voice, can let the jury know what he himself thinks of the case. For example, the defendant may be giving testimony, and if the United States attorney interrupts him the Federal judge may say, “Well, let the defendant tell his story,” with a sneer on his face, for the benefit of the jury. When it comes to his instructions, he may, in a very low tone of voice, give the instructions he is required to give which are favorable to the defendant. Then he raises his voice and makes gestures which let the jury know he does not believe the defendant to be innocent. He tries to impress the jury by his loud tone of voice and the things he says in his instructions, which tend to prejudice the jury. I have seen it happen. I myself was a trial lawyer. I served at one time as attorney general of my State, and later as governor of the State. As I have previously stated, a Federal judge has a vast amount of power. He can name special bailiffs is he decides that the number of bailiffs in the court is not sufficient. He can appoint half a dozen or a dozen more, and have them carry revolvers to impress the rank and file of the jurors with the great importance of the case. A Federal judge can claim that his life is in danger, and he can have Federal troops escort him back and forth between the courthouse and the hotel. A Federal judge can have airplanes flying over the courthouse, to repel the mob, for the purpose of impressing the jury with the gravity of the case which is pending before it. I have gone all through that experience. When I came to the Senate one of the charges brought against me was with respect to the four Federal cases in which I, as governor of the State, was tried. A Federal judge who is dishonest, with all the power he has, need not be afraid of any governor, because he holds the position for life. During the history of the United States there have been only five impeachments of Federal judges. I well remember a case which was brought before I became a Member of the Senate. Senator Josiah Bailey, a very distinguished Senator, said to me in connection with that case, “I voted ‘not guilty’ on all counts except the last one. I voted ‘guilty’ on the last one.” It was the fact that he voted “guilty” on that count which resulted in the impeachment of the judge. We must take into consideration the money that is required, the lawyers who are required, and so forth. The Senate does not like to take up an impeachment case. Yet, that is the only remedy a poor man has in the matter of impeaching a dishonest Federal judge. I am frankly delighted that the distinguished Senator from South Caroline has been going into the history of how the jury trial originated. There was a great battle to obtain the right of trialby jury on behalf of the people of England before they ever achieved their goal. One of the very first of the English juries was sent out by the judge time and time again and asked to bring in a verdict of guilty, and the jury refused to do so. They were out for many hours defying the judge. Finally, the judge said he would put them in jail. One of the greatest calamities that could possibly occur in this country or in any other country would be to have the “divine right of kings” come back and the jury system made inoperative. I wish to thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate. Mr. THURMOND. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota is to be commended for his statement. Mr. President, it is not a question of civil rights. They have hooked to it an unconstitutional provision. It is now a question of whether we shall vote for a bill that violates the Constitution and takes away from citizens the right to a trial by jury. I believe it was at Runnymeade, in 1215, that there were wrenched from King John certain rights for the benefit of the people which were written into a paper known as the Magna Carta. One of the rights wrenched from King John and which the people had cherished so long and which had been denied them was the right of trial by jury. Mr. President, our Declaration of Independence starts out by citing grievances, among which was the fact that in many instances the citizens of the Colonies had been tried without a jury. That was one of the grievances brought up and included in the Declaration of Independence. When our Constitution was written our forefathers had heard their fathers speak of how in generations back the people had suffered persecution. That was why many of them came to these shores, to enjoy liberty and freedom. After studying the governments of the world at that time, our forefathers finally decided on the tripartite system of government, with its three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, which could check on each other. They did not stop with that, Mr. President. The States organized their governments on the same basis, so that what we have is what is known as a compound Republic. We have a division of power between the States and the Federal Government. We have a division of power between the different branches on the national level and on the State level. Our forefathers, when they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787, were determined that one thing would be contained in it would be the right of trial by jury. It is found in article III., section 2, and it provides that the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. It does not make any other exceptions for civil rights or anything else. It provides that all crimes except that of impeachment shall be tried by jury and that the trial shall be held in the State in which the crime was committed. Even after the Constitution was written, three distinguished men attending the Convention would not sign it. They were George Mason, of Virginia, who was the author of the Bill of Rights; John Randolph, of Virginia, another very prominent citizen; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. They refused to sign the Constitution even after it was written. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, would the Senator from South Carolina be willing to yield to me for the purpose of submitting a unanimous-consent request to the Senate to the effect that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears the telegram of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin may be read and the oath be administered by unanimous consent of the Senate, without my friend from South Carolina losing the floor thereby, and that his remarks thereafter shall not count as a second speech against him, and that this interruption be placed in another portion of the {{sc|Record}}? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield under those conditions. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears in the Chamber the clerk may read the telegram from the Governor of Wisconsin and that the Senate give its consent to the oath being administered to the Senator-elect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous-consent request of the Senator from Texas? The Chair thinks it also includes the provision that the Senator from South Carolina [Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}] shall not lose the floor. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. All the conditions enumerated, Mr. President. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, reserving the right to object—and, of course, I shall not object—I should like to be associated with the unanimous-consent request made by the distinguished majority leader. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I make the request on behalf of the minority leader and myself. I wish to make it abundantly clear that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears consent will have already been given to his being sworn in after the telegrams have been read; and that the Senator from South Carolina will still retain the floor and will be protected in his right to the floor and in the fact that he has made only one speech on this subject. Also, Mr. President, I request that the interruption be placed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and the request is agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. I thank the Senator from South Carolina for yielding. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was engaged in colloquy with the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Langer}}] ,at the time when we were interrupted. I should like to continue the colloquy with him. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from North Dakota for his questions and for bringing out the points he did. What I started to say is that when the Constitution Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 for the purpose of writing a constitution, the deputies, as they were called then, were confronted with the very difficult proposition of how the States would have representation. The large States wanted representation in proportion to population; the small States wanted representation according to States, regardless of size. Of course, they reached a compromise, and we have the two bodies of Congress. The Senate has an equal number of Senators from each State, regardless of the size of the State, and the House of Representatives is based on population. That is only one of the many intricate problems which had to be fought and settled by the Convention. It was a very difficult task to bring about the adoption of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question at this point? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. The Senator from North Dakota, as the distinguished Senator from South Carolina knows, is very much interested in the small States. The two Senators from North Dakota are very much interested in the small States. They have been battling and fighting for the rights of the small States. Today there are six States which never have had any Cabinet members. For example, take the State of Florida. It has now for 107 years been a member of this Union. Yet the State of Florida has never had a member of the Cabinet, although the city of New York under Franklin Roosevelt at one time had six from the State of New York. Take the State of Nevada. Nevada had an Ambassador. The State of South Dakota has never had one. Montana never has had one. Idaho never has had one. The Senator from North Dakota finally succeeded in getting one for North Dakota, the first one after 62 years of statehood. It seems to me that the Senators from these States and from the States of smaller population a long time ago ought to have gotten together and said to the State Department, “We demand that citizens of the States of lesser population also have some appointments as ambassadors, or occasionally have a man appointed to the Cabinet of the President of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree with the Senator, and what I said was by way of illustration. Mr. LANGER. Yes. Mr. THURMOND. The point I started to make was this: There were so many problems confronting the deputies in Philadelphia that they had a very hard time drafting a constitution, and even after it was drafted, it would not have been ratified if they had not promised the leading political leaders of the day that there would be a Bill of Rights. That is the only way they were able to have the Constitution adopted; and even then, George Mason, of Virginia; John Hancock, of Massachusetts; Elbridge Gary, of Massachusetts, refused to sign it. They did not want to take for granted any question about the rights to which the people were entitled, and one of the precious rights in which they were most interested was the right of trial by jury. The right of trial by jury was not only written in article III., section 2 of the Constitution, but in several places in the Bill of Rights. The right of trial by jury has been handed down to us as part of our Government as a great heritage, and we do not want to run the risk of losing that precious right. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true at the present time in one foreign country after another, to whom we have been sending foreign aid and with whom we fought in World War II., later in the Korean war—one of the very things we are advocating in these countries are reforms which will provide trial by jury. Is that not correct? Mr. THURMOND. I understand we have been advocating that other countries, in which we have been trying to help the people to set up democratic governments, accord the right of trial by jury. It is going to look a little inconsistent to those people to whom we have held out trial by jury as the ideal, when we pass a bill which proposes to take away trial by jury. Some persons do not feel this is important; some of them say, “Well it is a compromise. The House held to a certain idea and the Senate another; and it is a matter of getting together as best they could.” But this is a vital question. There is nothing more important, no right more important than that of trial by jury. Mr. LANGER. I assume the Senator means a fair trial, an honest trial. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. The experience the Senator has had as judge ably demonstrated that, did it not? Mr. THURMOND. My experience has been that a jury will come nearer rendering a fair verdict than a judge will, because there are 12 men on the jury—and Mr. Justice Brennan concurs in this—who hear the evidence and reach a conclusion. It is a most important matter; yet here in this so-called civil rights bill— Madam President, may we have order, please? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. The effect of the so-called civil-rights bill is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution says, in article III., section 2, that “the trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment; shall be by jury,” and then in the sixth amendment to the Constitution the statement is made again. It says, “In all”—it does not say in some—it does not say in all but civil rights; it makes no exception. It says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses.}} And so forth. instead of that, this civil-rights bill now includes an amendment—which has been added by the House of Representatives—which gives the judge the power to make the decision, without a trial by jury, unless the fine exceeds a certain amount of money or unless the period of incarceration exceeds a certain number of days. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair) Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true that one of the arguments used when the right of women’s suffrage was asked for, was that women should have the right to sit on juries? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that women be allowed to sit on the juries. I think it is very wholesome to have that allowed. Such a law has not yet been passed in South Carolina, but I think it will be; in my opinion, that time will come. Mr. LANGER. We who live in North Dakota have had such a law for many years, and it works very satisfactorily. Mr. THURMOND. I so understand. In some States, women are allowed to serve on juries, if they wish, but they are not forced to do so. In other States, women must serve on juries, if called. In other States, women do not have to serve at all on juries. Madam President, the bill of rights—and the right of trial by jury is the heart of the bill of rights—is the most precious document of the American people. Madam President, let me say to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota that when the Declaration of Independence was written, it included a very definite reference to trial by jury. I wish to read part of the Declaration of Independence, in order to remind the distinguished Senator from North Dakota of that fact. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, I shall be very glad to have the Senator from South Carolina do so. Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I read now from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.}} A little later in the Declaration of Independence, we find the following— Mr. LANGER. Madam President, it is very interesting to hear the Declaration of Independence read. Mr. THURMOND. It is, indeed. I read further from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.}} That was one of the cardinal points which was set forth in the Declaration of Independence, namely, that the King of England had deprived the colonists “in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}, in accordance with the previous unanimous-consent agreement, yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas, for the purpose of having the Senator-elect from Wisconsin take the oath of office. By agreement, the proceedings incident thereto appear in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) The VICE PRESIDENT. Pursuant to the order, the Chair recognizes the Senator from South Carolina. The Senate will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, a good many Senators were not here when I presented my views earlier during this debate, and I shall take a few minutes now to express a few points which I should like to have them hear. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution, because that would be the result, insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common law cases. As I have stated earlier today, I cited a decision during this debate to show that criminal contempt is a crime. Since criminal contempt is a crime, a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no way, under the Constitution, by which a man charged with a crime can be denied a trial by jury. Since the decision I have cited shows that criminal contempt is a crime, it simply follows that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. These guaranties to which I referred, in article III., section 2, of the Constitution, and in the fifth and seventh amendments, were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historical document their complaints against the denial of the right to trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. I am going to read the section of the Declaration of Independence in which our forefathers with courage and stamina severed their relations with the mother country, Great Britain, and established their own government. A list of grievances against the King was set forth in that document and among those grievances there was one pertaining to trial by jury. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|Depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.}} In other words, those who signed the Declaration of Independence gave as one of the reasons for declaring their independence and for cutting loose from the King the fact that they had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. Therefore we can see with that incentive in mind in writing the Declaration of Independence why there was such a strong urge in writing the Constitution to include in it a provision for trial by jury, and then later in writing the Bill of Rights, to provide a trial by jury without the exceptions which are contained in this so-called compromise that came from the House of Representatives. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and one-time Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. The Bill of Rights, he declared— {{smaller block|denies the power of any Government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.}} Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen? The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional Government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic laws, if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes; in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.}} The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “the trial of all crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days’ imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. In this day and time I wonder, sometimes, if there is not too much compromise. It does my heart good to see a man with strong convictions, a man who believes in something, a man who stands for something and who is not willing to compromise on everything when there is a vital principle at stake. Mr. President, I realize that legislation to a large extent is compromise. That is perfectly legitimate when it does not involve the Constitution. But when it involves the Constitution, there should be no compromise. There should have been no compromise on this bill which comes back to the Senate from the House. There can be no compromise with reference to the manner in which the bill was amended. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of Government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was approved by the Senate. The enactment in the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, was a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope that a majority of this Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the bloc voting of the pivotal States. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that— {{smaller block|Behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about.}} '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', 12 members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies visit the Senate, and Mr. Thurmond’s is interrupted, so as to introduce the deputies appropriately. At the time in the ''Record'', several other matters are read into the ''Record'', namely, a “Message from the House,” the “House Bills and Joint Resolutions Referred,” and the “House Concurrent Resolution Referred.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, to explain his point Mr. Alsop cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the “Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States,” Mr. Alsop stated that it is “almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election.” In other words, Mr. Alsop says that the whole civil-rights fight is purely political, and the effect of it is that both parties are vying to get the Negro vote in the doubtful States. To explain his point he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in those States. Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any Presidential candidate could lose those three States and win the election. I shall not take any more further time to present the analysis he made, but he went into considerable detail. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today, but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of this bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether or not to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge so long as he does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed for denying trial by jury. The proponents of this bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected by it. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When this bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted that great legal mind of the 18th century of England, Blackstone, because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence. I have also quoted heretofore and cited a case which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That is a decision I have heretofore reviewed. I might refer to it again for the benefit of any who missed it, because that is an important point. I do not believe that some of the lawyers in the Congress have realized that criminal contempt is a crime. ''Bessett'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' (194 U. S. 324) says a contempt proceeding is criminal in its nature. ''Ex parte'' Grossman (267 U. S. 87) says a criminal contempt committed by disobedience of an injunction issued by the district court to abate a nuisance in pursuance of the prohibition law is an offense against the United States, and within the pardoning powers of the President under article II. of the Constitution. The ''Conkey'' case I just referred to, volume 194 United States Reports, page 324, defines civil and criminal contempt, pointing out that the latter, criminal contempt, is criminal and punitive in its nature, and the Government, the courts, and the people are interested in their prosecution. If criminal contempt is a crime, as the United States Supreme Court decision holds it is, then under the Constitution of the United States a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury. There is no ifs, ands, and buts about it. There can be no exceptions. Article III., section 2 of the Constitution provides: {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights, it is provided: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} Mr. President, when this bill was previously debated in the Senate, I cited Blackstone as an authority, and I may cite him again today, but I want to refer to a portion of this bill, to show how it violates the Constitution on the jury trial question. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to my distinguished friend for a question. Mr. LANGER. Could the Senator from South Carolina tell us how it happened that the Federal judges encroached upon the rights of defendants? How did they come to hold that contempt of court was not a crime? Mr. THURMOND. There is a long story about contempt and how it arrived at where it is now. I might say, in brief, and that is what my distinguished friend is interested in, that under the present law a man charged with criminal contempt gets a jury trial unless the Government is a party to the suit, and in labor disputes defendants get a jury trial even if the Government is a party to the suit. Under this so-called compromise which the House sent to the Senate, that will not be the case unless a judge in his discretion sees fit to give the defendant a jury trial, or the judge tries him and decides he wants to punish him to a greater extent than a $300 fine or a 45 days’ prison sentence, in which event he would then have a jury trial. Mr. President, under the version of the bill which was passed by the House of Representatives, the Attorney General could substitute the government for a private party, and thereby could deprive an individual of a jury trial. But the Senate amended the bill as passed by the House of Representatives; and the Senate sent the bill, as thus amended, back to the House of Representatives. The Senate, by means of one of its amendments, drew a distinction and delineated between civil contempt and criminal contempt. The amendment provided that if the purpose of the action the judge wished to obtain was compliance with his order, in the case of something to be done in the future, failure to comply with the order would constitute civil contempt; but if the purpose was to punish for something done in the past, failure to comply with the judge’s order would constitute criminal contempt. The Senate amended the bill, as I have stated, and returned the bill, as thus amended, to the House of Representatives. Then the House of Representatives added the amendment which I believe violates the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. It has been a pleasure, I assure the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. Mr. President, because of the authoritative place that Blackstone holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him at this time. Every lawyer respects Mr. Blackstone. He said: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law.}} That is what Blackstone said about trial by jury—that it is “the glory of the English law.” Blackstone further said: {{smaller block|And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under Providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} In other words, Rome, Sparta, and Carthage did not have trial by jury when their people lost their liberties. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen; chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth and the surest guardians of public justice, For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, that is what Mr. Blackstone said. No brighter legal mind ever shone in the brilliant galaxy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied to another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and he made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. * * * One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions.}} Mr. President, in my State the judge charges the jury as to the law, but he cannot comment on the facts. In some States a judge is not even permitted to charge the jury, unless the parties to the suit request it. I read further from the address by Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials, because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, those are the words of Associate Justice Brennan, in speaking about jury trials. I do not know how he could have stated the matter in much stronger terms. Mr. President, that statement by Associate Justice Brennan is most significant, to me, in that it comes from a member of the present Supreme Court of the United States. I shall not predict what the Court may do when the question of the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury, as embodied in the so-called compromise, is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill to be unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in the case of ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said—and this is the Supreme Court of the United States speaking: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Kennedy}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. If the Congress can say to the people of the United States that a Federal judge has absolute power to forbid a jury trial if the sentence is not more than 45 days in jail or a fine of not more than $300, and if such a law is held constitutional, what would there be to stop a future Congress from changing the amounts to 10 times those—in other words, let us say, to 450 days in jail and a fine of $3,000, or even more? As I see it, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is fighting for a principle. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. The principle—not the exact amount of the punishment or the exact amount of the fine—is the important consideration in this case. Mr. LANGER. In other words, the Senator from South Carolina is chiefly concerned with the principle, rather than with the exact amount of the punishment—whether it be 45 days in jail or a fine of $300, or whether it be more than that; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. Certainly it is a fact that the Congress should not give to any Federal judge the power to levy fines of $300 or to imprison for 45 days, without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Congress does not have power to do it if it wants to. Mr. LANGER. In my opinion, you certainly quoted excellent authority to sustain that view. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the Constitution provided that a Federal judge could give to a defendant a jury trial if he wanted to do so, or to refuse it if he wanted to do that, then there would be authority for what the House sent to the Senate. If the Constitution provided that in cases of criminal contempt defendants would be excepted from the jury. trial, the House would have been legally justified in passing what they did. But there is no exception to the right of jury trial in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution will first have to be amended in order that this so-called compromise bill, which has passed the House and is before the Senate, can be upheld. I cannot say what the Supreme Court will do, no one can say, but I do not see how they could make any other holding in view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is certainly what may be expected from the Court, in view of the statement I just quoted from Justice Brennan, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State, and I spoke on them during the night, starting with Alabama, and covered every State, including Wyoming. I cited the law and the section of the code, including North Dakota and all the States. They all have laws to protect the right to vote. In a few minutes, I am going to cite a Federal section to show that there is a Federal law already on the subject; so, if a Federal law were desired on the subject, we already have one. I think it is a matter that ought to be left to the States, but if people disagree about that, and if it is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, we already have a statute on the subject. But this bill is a violation of the Constitution on the right to a jury trial question, regardless. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Would the Senator be kind enough to read the statutes in South Carolina and Mississippi, if he has them? Mr. THURMOND. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. I shall discuss them in a few minutes. I do not know of a single case having arisen in South Carolina in which a potential voter has charged that he has been deprived of his right to vote. Had such an instance occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. When I was Governor of South Carolina, on May 1, 1947, I recommended to the State legislature that it repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature took favorable action and submitted the question to a vote of the people at the next general election, which was in November 1948. The people voted favorably on the amendment, and then in January 1949, or early in 1949, the legislature ratified the action of the people. Our poll tax was eliminated as a prerequisite to voting. So we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. We have a school tax, but no one has to pay to vote. Moreover, registration is necessary only once every 10 years. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina—if proof is desired—can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia (S. C.) Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that: “Estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution which protect a citizen’s tight to vote: {{smaller block|{{c| {{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}} {{asc|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9. SUFFRAGE}} }} The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10. ELECTIONS FREE AND OPEN}}}} All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 5. APPEAL; CRIMES AGAINST ELECTION LAWS}}}} Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 8. REGISTRATION PROVIDED; ELECTIONS; BOARD OF REGISTRATION; BOOKS OF REGISTRATION}}}} The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the first of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 15. RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE FREE}}}} No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the {{sc|Record}} to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{c| SOUTH CAROLINA CODE—TITLE 23 {{asc|23–73. APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF REGISTRATION}} }} The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court. {{c|{{asc|23–74. PROCEEDINGS IN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS}}}} Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''. {{c|{{asc|23–75. FURTHER APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT}}}} From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make.}} I do not know of any other State which gives this protection. {{smaller block|If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} The supreme court will be called together to hear one man’s case on appeal. What more can we do than that? We have, first, the board of registration; next the court of common pleas, and then the supreme court. The supreme court will hold an extra session, if necessary, to hear the appeal, and even if there is only one man who feels that he has been disenfranchised, or disqualified, for any reason, to receive a registration certificate. {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|23–100. RIGHT TO VOTE}}}} No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct. But if the name of any registered elector does not appear or incorrectly appears on the registration books of his polling precinct he shall, nevertheless, be entitled to vote upon the production and presentation to the managers of election of such precinct, in addition to his registration certificate, of a certificate of the clerk of the court of common pleas of his county that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in such clerk’s office or a certificate of the secretary of state that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in the office of the secretary of state.}} In other words, if he loses his certificate, or has any trouble with the board—the books are filed there—if his name is on the book, the clerk will give him a certificate. If it is not there, he can even go to the secretary of state at Columbia, if there is any local prejudice or other trouble. He can go to the State capital, and obtain a certificate from the secretary of state. That is the protection we give. We have some others. {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|23–349.

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. A little while ago the distinguished Senator said that he had before him the election laws of all 48 States. Mr. THURMOND. That is true. Mr. LANGER. Are not the laws of South Carolina more liberal than those of other States? Mr. THURMOND. I think they are more liberal with respect to voting. I think we have gone further than have most of the other States. We repealed the poll-tax requirement. We have given every opportunity to everyone to vote. I do not know of anyone in my State today who is denied the right to vote if he wishes to vote. Our requirements are not too severe. The only requirement is that the voter must be able to read or write the Constitution. The Constitution was used in order to have reference to some document. Anyone who can read and write can read the Constitution as well as he can read anything else. Or if he cannot do that, he must own $300 worth of property. If he meets either requirement, he can vote. Mr. LANGER. The Senator stated that there was a Federal law in this connection. Mr. THURMOND. Yes. Mr. LANGER. May we have the Federal statute read? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has just asked me about the Federal law on the books with regard to voting. I should like to have the Senator from North Dakota and other Senators hear this. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Case}}] and other Senators to listen to the statute I am about to read. Last night I made the point that every State in the Union has laws on this subject. Of course, if the Senator from South Dakota has already made up his mind, I do not wish to take his time. Will he give me his attention for just a moment? Mr. CASE of South Dakota. The Senator from South Dakota is listening. Mr. THURMOND. I do not wish to take the Senator’s time if his mind is made up. But if his mind is open, I want him to hear this. I made the statement last night that every State in the Nation has statutes to protect the right to vote. I called upon the Library of Congress to compile those statutes, and I read them into the {{sc|Record}}. They will be found in my speech. Starting with Alabama and going through Wyoming, every State has laws protecting the right to vote. But some people say that we need Federal laws. I do not believe many people know that we have Federal statutes on the subject. For some reason or other they must have overlooked them. I wish to read the Federal law at this time to show that there is a Federal law on the statute books. It is designated as section 594 of chapter 29, title 18, of Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|594. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS}}}} Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the Office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} If anyone intimidates, threatens, or coerces another with respect to voting, or with respect to how he wishes to vote, or for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote, or to vote for whomever he chooses, there is a Federal statute under which a Federal judge can send him to jail for 1 year, or fine him $1,000. There is already a Federal statute on the subject. So why pass the bill coming from the House, or any other bill to provide the right to vote? The statute which I have just read is a criminal statute. It enables the Federal Government, if it wishes to protect the right to vote, to protect any man’s right to vote, because it can put a man in jail for as long as 1 year, or fine him $1,000 if he interferes with the right of anyone to vote. The only difference is that this is a criminal statute, and if a man were prosecuted under this statute he would get a jury trial. If we believe in the Constitution and in jury trials, we want to preserve that right anyway. The Constitution is clear on the question of jury trials. Article III., section 2, is specific on it. The Bill of Rights contains several references to it. The sixth amendment, in the Bill of Rights, is directly to the point. I have before me a decision—I do not know whether the Senator heard it or not—which upholds the contention that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man is entitled to a trial by jury under the Constitution of the United States if he is charged with criminal contempt. If there have been complaints to the Federal Government in any State of the Nation about people not being allowed to vote, why has not the Justice Department taken action under the statute to which I have just referred, and put offenders behind bars or fined them if they interfered with the right of other people to vote? The Federal Government has the power to do it. It is not necessary for it to have more power. The accused should have a jury trial. This is a free country. The mere fact that a jury returns a verdict which one of the parties may not like is no excuse for abolishing the jury trial. Either the Federal Government is not doing its duty in protecting people who have complained to it that they could not vote for one reason or another, or that voting has been interfered with for one reason or another, and has not given the proper protection to those people who complained to it, or there have been no complaints. If there have been any complaints, it was the duty of the Department of Justice to take action, and they could take action under the statute I have cited. There is no use beating about the bush and saying there is a duty to pass a right to vote bill. There is such a law on the statute books. Every State in the Union has such a law. The United States Code contains a provision protecting the right to vote. Let the Attorney General enforce this statute I have cited. If he has received any complaint from South Carolina about any man not voting, or has received a complaint from any other State, it is his duty to take action under the statute, and see that the one who interferes is punished. He can be put in jail for a year or fined $1,000. Mr. President, I am merely desiring to call this to the attention of Senators who are in the Chamber at this time, because so many of them do not seem to understand that we now have a Federal law on the books, section 594, which provides for the protection of voting rights. I do not know how it could be made any stronger. The Senator from North Dakota was asking about the South Carolina statute. I read from the statutes: {{smaller block|After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail. {{c|{{asc|23–656.

Does not the Senator from North Dakota think those provisions add to the protection of voters? Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator be kind enough to repeat the Federal statute? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am particularly interested in where the Federal statute states that one can be both fined and imprisoned. Mr. THURMOND. It says “or both.” {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} But such person can get a jury trial, though. In other words, that is just another crime. It is like when a man is charged with murder or any other crime. He will have a jury trial. If he is found guilty, then the judge can sentence him to $1,000 or 1 year in prison, or both. That is a strong statute. Mr. LANGER. I want to thank the distinguished Senator for bringing that to the attention of the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is entirely welcome. I think it is a statute that a good many people may have overlooked. There has been so much talk about the right to vote and people not having the right to vote protected until I thought the Senate and the people of the Nation ought to know that not only every State has laws protecting the right to vote, but the Federal Government also has on the statute books a statute protecting the right to vote. As I stated, that is section 594, of chapter 29, title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be glad to yield to my distinguished friend. Mr. LANGER. For a question? Mr. THURMOND. For a question. Mr. LANGER. Have there been any decisions by the South Carolina Supreme Court on any of the statutes which the distinguished Senator has read? Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall offhand that any cases have gone to the supreme court. In our State everybody registers and votes who wants to, and I guess that is probably the reason there have been no cases taken to the supreme court. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, prove there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right to vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and (3) appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an {{SIC|unsual|unusual}} grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and non-political, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I should like to have the Senator hear this. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people, to involve neighbor against neighbor. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others, to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make the testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate, before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A civil-rights division in the Justice Department is not needed, because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed; in fact, he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved and since there is no indication that conditions will change—unless the Attorney General and the Civil-Rights Commission create trouble—there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of a Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Part III. of the bill, as originally written—which was completely obnoxious—was removed. I have several times stated my views on part IV. I object to its grant of dictatorial power to the Attorney General. The Congress should never agree to place such authority in the hands of any one official of the Government. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which reads as follows: {{smaller block|(d) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. As I understand, in the case of the existing section 594, during all these years the Attorney General of the United States has had the power to enforce that section, and he has had the assistance of the United States attorneys in every State of the Union, and they have had the help of their assistants; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. In some of the States there are eastern districts, northern districts, southern districts, and western districts—for instance, as in the case of New York; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That also is correct. Mr. LANGER. And each of those districts has United States attorneys and assistant United States attorneys and United States marshals; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. So all the necessary machinery for the enforcement of section 594, to protect the voting right of any citizen of the United States who may have had his voting right denied, has been in existence all during this period of time; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. Can the distinguished Senator from South Carolina name a single case in which the Attorney General of the United States has tried to enforce any of these statutes? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator, I will say that I do not know about the situation in other States; but as for the situation in my own State, I have not heard of such a case. However, I can see why that would be; I can understand why probably there would not be any such cases in South Carolina. That is because anyone in South Carolina who wishes to register to vote, has no trouble doing so. But I have not heard that any cases of this sort have been brought in other States. Such cases may have been brought in other States, but I have not heard of any. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I wish to ask what additional power the Attorney General will have, if a new Assistant Attorney General is appointed, inasmuch as the Attorney General already has the help of other Assistant Attorneys General and the help of United States attorneys, whose appointments have to be approved by the Senate; they cannot be appointed until the Congress has consented to the appointments. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question asked by the Senator from North Dakota, I would say that I see no need for an additional Assistant Attorney General—who, if appointed, would receive a large salary. I see no need for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, because the Department of Justice already has a civil-rights section; and there has been no evidence of any need for a big division, similar to the one now proposed to be created. I think the establishment of such a division would simply mean the payment of more salaries and a larger Federal payroll and more taxes on the backs of the American people. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In other words, there has never been a time when, under present law, the Department of Justice could not have presented a case of that sort before a grand jury, if the Department had wished to do so; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. If there had been any complaint in either North Dakota or South Carolina, let us say, to the effect that someone had not been able to vote, although he was eligible to vote, all the Department of Justice would have had to do would have been to have the United States attorneys in those States look into the matter and take whatever action would have been appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his questions. Mr. President, a moment ago I read the provisions of section 131(d). It simply means that the district courts can, under that provision, bypass the State procedures, the administrative remedies under the State laws, and can take action, and thus can cause much tension, embarrassment, and trouble although it is not necessary to do so. If anyone cannot obtain justice through the administrative remedies of his State, then of course he will be able to go to the district attorneys, and they can prosecute under the Federal statute I have just read. But the use of the existing remedies under the State laws should first be required—which is the usual procedure one would follow. No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States should not be exhausted prior to having Federal district courts take jurisdiction in cases of election-law violations. In other words, I believe in letting the States run their business, if they will. A Federal statute already is in existence; and if there is need to use it, it can be used. But why not let the States handle the matter of voting and the other matters which are reserved to them under the Constitution? Let the States handle them. Then, if the States fail to do so or if they fall down in the performance of their duty, section 594 is in existence, and it can be used as a hammer with which they can be clubbed to death, if need be. The present proposal could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority, and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 spoke strongly on behalf of the Federal courts, during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. That is the point I made just a few minutes ago. I shall not go into further details with reference to the provisions of this part of the bill, but I am just as strongly opposed to it as I was when it was first introduced. I shall continue to oppose such grants of power to the Attorney General or to any other official. Mr. President, I based my opposition to H. R. 6127 throughout its consideration in the Senate on three principal points. I am convinced the bill is unconstitutional in several respects which I have cited. I know that it is unnecessary because the right to vote is fully protected in every State and under the laws of the United States where applicable. Finally, I know that the enactment of such legislation is extremely unwise. It is unwise because the sure result of passing this bill would be to destroy a great deal of the good feeling existing between the white and the Negro races, not only in the South but in every community where a substantial number of Negroes live. Nothing would be gained, but much would be lost. The Civil Rights Commission, by using its powers to attempt to force integration of the races, is bound to create suspicion and tension between the races to an even greater degree than the suspicion and tension which was created by the 1954 Supreme Court decision in the school segregation cases. Unbiased persons who are familiar with the segregation problem, and who observed the detrimental result of the Supreme Court decision, know that a traveling investigation commission and a meddling Attorney General could bring about chaos in racial relations. The chaos would not be confined to the South because the provisions of this bill will apply to every citizen in every State. However, the Attorney General, in exercising the discretion granted him, along with the extraordinary powers also granted him, must be expected to confine his investigations and his court actions to the States of the South. The South has often been derided and condemned on charges of sectionalism, but if the advocates of this legislation believe they will create greater unity instead of greater division in this country by the enactment of this bill, they are entirely mistaken. George Washington in his Farewell Address used his strongest language against those who would divide our country and urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern, Atlantic, and western—whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} H. R. 6127 is a blueprint for suspicion, confusion, and disunity. The laws of the Nation are dependent upon the customs and traditions of the people. Unless law is based upon the will of the people, it will not meet with acceptance. Government in this country derives no power except the power coming from the people. Laws which are not based on the Constitution, which is the basic statement of the will of the people, cannot be justified on any ground. Mr. President, when there is so much evidence that this bill is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unwise, it should never be approved. Force may subjugate the human body, but force by itself can never change the human mind. Laws, like leaders, must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. H. R. 6127 fails to measure up by any standard. It should be rejected. I appeal to every Member of this body who believes in constitutional government and the sovereignty of the people to vote against this bill. Mr. President, this bill, as I have stated before, has been widely called a right-to-vote bill. That is a completely misleading term. The bill, as I have stated, in my opinion, is unnecessary, because we have laws in every State to protect the right to vote. We have laws by the Federal Government to protect the right to vote. In the sections I have cited, a man can be punished severely for any interference with the right to vote. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}} yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas and other Senators, who requested the transaction of certain business, all of which appears in the {{sc|Record}} following Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, we have the finest Nation in the world. We have the finest Government in the world. In 1787 our forefathers met in Philadelphia and wrote a document called the Constitution. It was simply a compact between the States. Our forefathers came to this country to get away from tyranny. They had been punished many times without juries. They had been denied the right to worship as they pleased. They have been denied the right of freedom of speech. They had been denied the right of assemblage. They had been denied the right to petition the government, and they had been denied many other rights which we take as a commonplace in this country. They came here to enjoy the benefits of the Government they would establish to provide them those rights. After the States operating as colonies for a while felt the need of a central government for purposes of national defense, for purposes of commerce, for purposes of postal service, trade, and other reasons, they decided to form a union. They met in Philadelphia in 1787, and with deputies from all the 13 States attending that conferential meeting, all except Rhode Island—at that time Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals and ignored the whole proceeding—all with the exception of that one State, had deputies at the Constitutional Convention. They wrote a document to delegate certain of their powers—there were States before there was a Federal union, of course—to the Federal Government for the purpose of forming a union and a central government which could do certain things for the States better than they themselves could do them. At that convention there was a very difficult situation. The delegates had to start from scratch, so to speak, to write the basic law for a new nation. Much discussion and debate occurred there, but after working together for several months in Philadelphia they finally arrived at a document, or a compact, which was signed by the representatives of the States, delegating certain powers to the Central Government. Three of the delegates attending the convention were not pleased, and did not sign it. I believe I stated this morning who they were. They were George Mason, of Virginia; John Randolph, of Virginia; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. The other delegates signed their names, except one, who left, but had his friend sign it. The document was then presented to the States for ratification. Within due time ratification was had, but there was considerable opposition at the convention, and when the question of ratification arose, the main objection which was raised was that there was not spelled out in the Constitution a bill of rights. Some of the most powerful leaders in the States opposed ratification for that reason. Those who did not sign in Philadelphia opposed it chiefly, I understand, for that reason. The Bill of Rights is a document which we cherish. The Bill of Rights is the finest civil-rights bill in the world. The Bill of Rights is a genuine civil-rights bill. That document provides us with the fundamental civil rights which we enjoy in this country today. One of the bases of the Bill of Rights—and I like to call it the heart of the Bill of Rights—is the right of trial by jury. In the Bill of Rights, the sixth amendment is a trial-by-jury amendment. It provides specifically that any person charged with a crime shall be tried by a jury. I have previously brought out today that criminal contempt is a crime, and therefore, since it is a crime, a person charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. The bill which passed the House is a compromise, as most legislation is. Some people may have felt that that was the best the House and Senate could do, because the conferees got together and reconciled the differences between the two Houses. Ordinarily that principle would be sound in connection with legislation, but it is not sound here, because the effect of the so-called compromise would be to violate the Constitution of the United States. If the so-called compromise had provided that a judge, in his discretion, could try a man for criminal contempt, I would have opposed it just as much if no punishment whatever were involved, because the Constitution says that a man is entitled to a trial by jury when he is prosecuted for a crime. There is no discretion in the Constitution. There is no ''proviso'' in the Constitution. There is no exception in the Constitution. The Constitution is perfectly clear on that point. If the punishment provided in the bill in the House had called for 1 day’s imprisonment, or a fine of $1, I would be just as bitterly opposed to it. The Constitution of the United States provides that if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to a jury trial. Under the decision which I have cited here twice today, I believe, holding that criminal contempt is a crime, it is clear that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I do not believe that the compromise amendment is valid. I do not think it is constitutional. The amendment of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] delineated and defined civil contempt and criminal contempt, and provided that civil contempt proceedings were for the purpose of bringing about compliance, in which case the order would be issued prior to the act, and that criminal contempt proceedings were to punish, in which case the order would be issued after the act. If the House had accepted it, the American people would be guaranteed trial by jury in the event of a charge of criminal contempt, which is a crime. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield to me for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to ask the Senator if I understood him correctly to say that in his opinion the so-called jury-trial provision of the bill which has been returned to us by the House is invalid and unconstitutional? Mr. THURMOND. That is my opinion. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to say to the Senator from South Carolina that I completely agree with that opinion. It is impossible to govern the right of trial by jury by the discretion of the judge, according to the penalty he conceives he intends to inflict. I should like to ask the Senator another question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the distinguished Senator. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he agrees with me that the question of jury trial should be reexamined as soon as conveniently possible, and that I would be doing a wise thing if, when the new session of Congress assembles, I should introduce a repetition of the general jury-trial amendment, firm in the belief that the advocates of civil rights, upon examination of the pretended amendment which has come to us from the House, will discover that they have bought a pigeon instead of a swallow. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question, I will say that I agree with him that the bill should be reexamined; but I think the reexamination should take place before Congress passes the bill, and not wait until next January. Mr. O’MAHONEY. If the Senator will permit me to make this comment—will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND: I will yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I shall frame it in the form of a question. Does not the Senator agree that we are all weary and worn down; that most of us are almost as tired as is the Senator himself; and that perhaps when we return in January in the full vigor of our bodies and minds we shall be able to do a better job than we can do at this session of the Congress? I am going to introduce a jury-trial amendment in the next session in the firm belief that this jury-trial amendment accomplishes nothing; that it does not at all help the advocates of civil rights. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question I will say that I have been on my feet for the past 17 hours, and I still feel pretty good. But I agree that it has been a long, tough session. But even though it has been a long, tough session, I do not think we ought to quit now and pass a bill that the Senator and I both feel is unconstitutional. I think we should refer it to the committee, which I tried to do the other night, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. But I think this bill should not be passed at this session. I believe the Senator would prefer that it not be passed; but if it is passed, of course I should be delighted to have the Senator offer an amendment to correct the unconstitutional portion of it when we return in January. But I really do not see why we should have to pass an unconstitutional piece of legislation if we can avoid it. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for another question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. This question is a little different from the one I asked before. I am wondering if the Senator from South Carolina would cooperate with me in enabling me to pass a bill which does not involve any constitutional question. The Senate passed the bill without any opposition at all, and the House has returned it to the Senate with an amendment. I should like to move that the House amendment be concurred in by the Senate, and thus get the bill disposed of. Mr. THURMOND. If the Senator will ask unanimous consent for me to yield to him on condition that I can retain the floor, and, further, that I shall not be charged with a second speech when I resume the discussion of the present subject— The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Wyoming ask unanimous consent based on those conditions? Mr. O’MAHONEY. I do, Mr. President. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator from Wyoming this question: This is not a civil-rights bill, as I understand, is it? Mr. O’MAHONEY. No; it is not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Wyoming? The Chair hears none. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Mr. O’Mahoney, the “Approval of Contract with the Casper–Alcova Irrigation District, Wyoming,” is dealt with, as is a “Message from the House” and the “Enrolled Bills and Joint Resolution Signed.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina may proceed. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was speaking a few moments ago about the States and the Federal Government. I should like to remind the people of this country that we had States before we had a union, and that the only power the Federal Government had and the only power the Union had was the power delegated by the States in Philadelphia in 1787 and in the amendments to the Constitution since that time. All other powers which have not been delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States or to the people. I think the bill which is under consideration is unconstitutional. I think it is invalid. I think we are doing a useless thing. The proponents of the bill who feel that they are helping people, in my judgment, are going to find that there is just a lot of lost motion involved, because I do not believe the Supreme Court will hold this bill constitutional. I do not see how it could hold it constitutional. This compromise bill which came from the House leaves it entirely up to a Federal judge to say whether or not he is going to give a man a jury trial. That is not what our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. This bill provides that a judge shall decide whether he will grant a jury trial. Suppose he decides he will not grant a jury trial and then tries the defendant. Suppose he decides that the man ought to be imprisoned for more than 45 days or should pay a fine of more than $300. Then the case must be tried all over again. That is another reason why I think the bill is unconstitutional. When we once try a man we put him in double jeopardy by trying him again. So I think we are doing a useless thing here to pass a bill to provide that a judge can try a man and then, if he imposes above a certain sentence, the man can ask for a jury trial and then a jury can try the man. He would be tried twice. That is not only unconstitutional, it is also unfair, because if a judge tries the man himself and fines him more than $300 or sentence him to be imprisoned more than 45 days, then there is a trial ''de novo'', as they call it. But the judge’s finding of guilt is bound to influence the jury when the jury tries him a second time. It is my opinion that the man can plead double jeopardy. The distinguished Presiding Officer was a distinguished judge in Texas. Any lawyer knows that we cannot try a man more than once for the same offense. The bill coming from the House would allow the man to be tried twice. Mr. President, I want the American people to know what they are getting in this bill. They are getting a bill under which a judge can try a man and a jury can then try the same man. It is unconstitutional, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think it is extremely unfair, because the judge has already expressed his opinion, and if he is the judge who tries the case a second time he would be bound to show his feelings during the trial. Even if he did not show his feelings during the trial, in my opinion, his feelings would enter into the sentence after the trial. Mr. President, there are many things in this bill. I am not against civil rights, and I am not against voting. As I have said, the finest civil rights are those in the Bill of Rights. I am for genuine civil rights, not this so-called political civil rights. Both national parties that are pushing civil rights bills, this right to vote and other bills, are not doing it because they love the Negro. The southern white man does more for the Negro than any other man in any part of the country. This bill is motivated purely by politics. It is a political bill. We might as well face the facts as they are. Both parties are trying to play to get the Negro vote, and, in some States, if the Negroes vote as a bloc, which they should not do, they are herded to the polls like sheep and voted. If they vote as individual citizens, which they should, this would not occur. But for some reason, both parties think that they are going to vote as a bloc. I do not know how a few leaders do it, or just how it is done. But it is unfortunate, and it is unfair to the Negro, because it takes him out of the category of an individual. It takes away his dignity. It takes away his sanctity as an individual, in which he can take pride in himself, his accomplishments and his race and not be led around like a bull with a ring in his nose. But that is the feeling of both parties in this country. They think they can vote the Negroes in a bloc, and they are making this play on these civil rights bills, so-called. They are not civil rights bills. They are so-called civil rights bills. The politicians are pushing these so-called civil rights bills to make a play and try to get the vote of the Negroes in certain doubtful States. I have some good friends who are Negroes. I have helped many of them. I have represented them in lawsuits. I have loaned them money. I value the friendship of many Negroes, and I hate to see them treated like they are being treated. I hope that their real leaders, their genuine leaders, who are sincerely interested in them, will wake up some day and inform the members of their race just what is going on. Mr. President, there is no need in the world to pass this bill. In the wee hours last night, when most Senators were sleeping, I was here talking, and after I had the Library of Congress, Legislative Section, prepare for me, and I put into the {{sc|Record}} at that time, statutes which provide voting rights in all the States of the Nation. The {{sc|Congressional Record}} of last night contains those statutes of all the States from Alabama to Wyoming. In every one of the States of the Nation there are statutes that protect the right to vote. There is not a single one of the 48 States that does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. Why does the Federal Government have to have this bill passed? Is it not practically an insult to the States? It is. “We need it. The States will not enforce their laws?” If that be the case, all the Government has to do is to enforce the Federal statute I referred to today. Title 18, section 594, is the number of that Federal statute, which provides punishment for anyone who intimidates, coerces, or threatens any person for interfering with any other person in voting. That statute is as clear as a crystal. It provides for a fine of $1,000, or punishment of 1 year in prison, for anyone who interferes with the right of another citizen to vote. So, if there is anybody in this country today who is prevented from voting, all he has to do is to report it to the district attorney in his State, of if he prefers, to write the Justice Department. He can take that course, and action can be taken under that statute which is already on the books. Why put another statute on the books? Why put another statute which the Supreme Court will very probably hold to be unconstitutional? I do not know what the Supreme Court will hold. I do not like to take any chances with the Supreme Court. At any rate, the Constitution of the United States is clear, the wording is simple. Any seventh-grade child can read article III., section 2, of the Constitution of the United States and see that any citizen charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. He can also read the sixth amendment to the Constitution, one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and see that any man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It is very difficult to understand why the Congress, which is supposed to be composed of the brightest intellects in the country, or some of the brightest intellects, would pass a bill of this kind. Yet, if the Congress passes such a bill, this so-called compromise bill on voting rights, it will certainly amaze me if the Supreme Court does not hold it to be unconstitutional. I shall be badly disappointed if the Congress passes it. Of course, under the pressure of different organizations, left-wing organization, ADA and NAACP, both parties are dancing like jitterbugs on the civil-rights question, because they want to carry the doubtful States where the Negroes, although only a small percentage, if they vote in a bloc, can swing a State. I think it will be a great pity if the Congress passes this bill. I hate to see it pass such an unnecessary bill. It seems to me that every Representative in Congress and every Senator is practically insulting his home State if he votes for this bill. He is practically saying to the governor of his State and the legislators of his State, “Although you have bills to protect voting rights, we have no confidence in you, and although we have one Federal law, we are going to pass another Federal law, and ram it down your throats whether or not you want it.” I think it is almost an insult to the States. I suggest that they write the governors and see how many of them want this bill passed. I am wondering how many Senators in this body and how many House members have checked with the governors to find out if they want this unconstitutional monstrosity passed by the Congress. I do not believe 10 percent of the governors of the Nation would say, “We are weaklings, and we want you to pass a strong civil-rights bill because we do not have the courage to do it. We do not have the courage to protect our people.” As a matter of fact, Mr. President, the States already have laws on that subject, and I have read them into the {{sc|Record}}. The voting-rights statutes of the States have been read into the {{sc|Congressional Record}}, in the case of every State of the Union. Those who read the {{sc|Congressional Record}} will find them set forth there. Mr. President, if any Senator, on either side of the aisle, can state why it is necessary to enact another Federal law to protect the right to vote, I should like to have him do so, provided I am able to yield for that purpose without losing the floor and without having the remarks I make after yielding for that purpose counted as a second speech by me. I challenge any Senator on either side of the aisle to answer this question: Why is another Federal law needed in order to protect the right to vote, when there is already on the statute books section 594, which reads, in part, as follows: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose.}} In other words, one who intimidates, threatens, or coerces a voter, or even attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce him, may, under the provisions of this statute, be prosecuted. He may be prosecuted, not only if his purpose is to interfere with the right of such other person to vote, but also if his purpose is to interfere as to the person for whom such other person may wish to vote. Mr. President, are there teeth in this statute? There certainly are. This statute provides that anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, or attempts to interfere with his voting for whomever he wishes to vote for, can be prosecuted in a Federal court and can be fined $1,000 or sentenced to a prison term of 1 year. Do not those provisions constitute teeth and strength in the existing law? Of course they do. If there is in the United States, today, any person who is having any trouble in exercising his voting right, again I say that all he has to do is contact the Department of Justice or the district attorney in his home State, and action can be taken under this Federal law to punish any person who interferes with his right to vote. Inasmuch as section 594 is an existing Federal statute on that subject, why is it necessary to enact another Federal statute dealing with the right to vote? It would be absolutely useless, unnecessary, and futile to enact another Federal statute on that subject; it would be a great mistake to do so, especially in view of the fact that such a statute would be unconstitutional. Mr. President, please understand that I do not even concede that the Federal Government has a right to enter this field. Instead, I believe that these matters should be handled by the respective States. However, the Federal Government is already in this field—under the provisions of section 594, by means of which a person can be fined as much as $1,000 or put in jail for as long as one year, if her tries to interfere with the right of someone else to vote. Since the Federal Government already is in this field, why should another Federal law on the same subject be enacted? Mr. President, every day that passes, the Federal Government, here in Washington, D. C., is whittling away the rights of the States. It hurts me to see the Federal Government invade fields which are reserved to the States. I deeply regret that a bigger and more powerful Federal Government is being built up in Washington, D. C. This Central Government has become tremendously top-heavy. I should like to see the States have more power. Since World War II., the Communists have taken over approximately 17 countries. In doing so, they did not invade by means of troops using bayonets and tanks; those countries were not taken over in that way by the Communists. Instead, the Communists proceeded by way of infiltration. Poland was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Poles. Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Czechs. China was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Chinese. The Communists have been able to infiltrate into the central governments; they have been able to worm their way into the police systems, and then into the election systems. Then, before one could realize it, the countries were taken over by the Communists. Mr. President, why have the Communists been able to take over those countries? Since the end of World War II., they have been able to take over 17 countries, with populations totaling between 600 million and 800 million. The Communists have been able to do that because each of those countries has had a strong central government; and when the Communists obtained control of that central government, they were able to take over control of the entire country. Mr. President, the more we in the United States build up power in a strong central government, the more risk we run from the standpoint of subversive activities and infiltration. If the people of the United States have the vision to keep the 48 States strong—each with its own election laws and its own police system—there will be no way by means of which the United States can be taken over by subversion. But if more and more power is given to our Central Government, after a while the States will be nothing but territories, and will not have any power. Mr. President, the so-called civil-rights bill which the Congress is about to pass would simply take power a way from the States and would give it to the Federal Government. A Senator might say, “I should vote for the bill because it will help me in the elections.” Mr. President, Senators had better begin to think more about the welfare and safety of their country, and less about the elections. Mr. President, I am convinced that we must protect the States. The Constitution now protects them; but the Supreme Court and the Congress and the executive branch of the Government have been taking steps—by handing down decisions, passing laws, and issuing regulations and edicts—which violate the rights of the States and take away from the States the power they have. Mr. President, this development cannot continue to occur, if our country is to be safe. I am disturbed for the safety of my country. I am a brigadier general in the Army Reserve and if our country becomes engaged in an armed conflict, I am ready to serve. But we must keep our country stronger, or we shall find it engaged in conflict. One of the ways to weaken it is to weaken the States, as we are doing today, and to keep taking away the powers of the States and building up a powerful Central Government in Washington. It is the greatest mistake in the world. It was not contemplated when our Constitution was written. Our forefathers decided they would delegate a few powers to the Federal Government, and they spelled them out in the Constitution. All one has to do is to get the Constitution and read it. It spells out just what powers the Congress has, what powers the Federal Government has, but all other powers are reserved to the States and to the people thereof. At the rate we are going now, we will not have any States after a while. The Federal Government will have all the power. Mr. President, some time ago I read a book by a man by the name of James Jackson Kilpatrick, of Richmond, Va., printed by the Henry Regner Co., of Chicago, entitled “The Sovereign States.” I wish every American could read this book. I am going to read some excerpts from it today. I should like to have Senators listen to some of the passages in this book. This man is a great writer, a true patriot, and a great American. First, I am going to read a passage by John C. Calhoun, one of the five all-time great Senators, recently selected to have his portrait placed in the Senate reception room. John C. Calhoun, I think, is one of the greatest men this country has produced. I nominated him to be selected to have his portrait placed here, and I am proud the committee selected it. He was a man who had keen vision and a proper conception of the Constitution. There is one page in the beginning of the book by him that I want to read; it is very short. This is what he says: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Foreword}}}} The great and leading principle is, that the General Government emanated from the people of the several States, forming distinct political communities, and acting in their separate and sovereign capacity, and not from all of the people forming one aggregate political community; that the Constitution of the United States is, in fact, a compact, to which each State is a party, in the character already described; and that the several States, or parties, have a right to judge of its infractions; and in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of power not delegated, they have the right, in the last resort, to use the language of the Virginia resolutions, “to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining, within their respective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.” This right of interposition, thus solemnly asserted by the State of Virginia, be it called what it may—state right, veto, nullification, or by any other name—I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions. {{right|{{sc|John C. Calhoun.}}|1em}} {{left|{{sc|Fort Hill}}, ''July 26, 1831''.|1em}} }} This was John C. Calhoun. He wrote that at Fort Hill, and if any Senators want to know where it is, it is at Simpson College. In fact, his home was at the college. Mr. President, my statement was that Fort Hill is at Simpson College in South Carolina. Of course, that is the greatest college in the United States. This book on the sovereign State was written, as I have said, by James J. Kilpatrick. First, I want to take up his introduction, and then I want to present some excerpts from the book: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Introduction}}}} Among the more melancholy aspects of the genteel world we live in is a slow decline in the enjoyment that men once found in the combat of ideas, free and unrestrained. Competition of any sort, indeed, seems to be regarded these days, in our schools and elsewhere, as somehow not in very good taste. Under the curious doctrines of the Fair Trade Act, vigorous salesmanship is unfair, and retailers are enjoined against discommoding their fellows. Mr. Stevenson’s criticism of the administration’s foreign policy, during the last presidential campaign, was not that the policies were so very wrong: they were not bipartisan. With a few robust exceptions, our writers paint in pastels; our political scholars write a sort of ruffled-sleeve, harpsichord prose. We duel with soft pillows, or with buttoned foils; our ideas have lace on them; we are importuned to steer, with moderation, down the middle of the road. These chamber music proprieties I acknowledge, simply to say, now, that the essay which follows should not be misunderstood. May it please the court, this is not a work of history; it is a work of advocacy. The intention is not primarily to inform, but to exhort. The aim is not to be objective; it is to be partisan. I plead the cause of States rights. My thesis is that our Union is a Union of States; that the meaning of this Union has been obscured, that its inherent value has been debased and all but lost. I hold this truth to be self-evident: That government is least evil when it is closest to the people. I submit that when effective control of government moves away from the people, it becomes a greater evil, a greater restraint upon liberty. My object is not to prove that the powers and functions of government have grown steadily more centralized, more remote from the people, for that proposition requires no proof; it requires only that one open one’s eyes. Rather, my intention is to plead that the process of consolidation first be halted, then reversed, toward the end that our Federal Government may be strictly limited to its constitutional functions and the States may again be encouraged to look after their own affairs, for good or ill. A long time ago, the geometric mind of Edmund Pendleton offered a theorem. The State and Federal Governments, he said, must follow the path of parallel lines. Others have conceived the relationship in terms of spheres, separate but touching. The idea, when all this began, was that neither authority would encroach upon the other; and in the beginning, it was more feared that the States would usurp Federal powers than the other way around. Now the rights and powers of the States are being obliterated. The encroachments of the Federal Government have widened its road to a highway and narrowed the road of the States to a footpath. Having deceptively added a dimension to the Federal line, the broad constructionists declare their faithful adherence to the plans of the original draftsmen. Soon, a geometry unknown to Pendleton can proclaim the apparent miracle of parallels that meet this side of infinity. I do not know that the sovereign powers of the States may be regained at all. Justice Salmon P. Chase once remarked, with great satisfaction, that State sovereignty died at Appomattox. But I do most earnestly believe that an effort must be made to regain these powers. The alternative is for American Government to grow steadily more centralized, steadily more remote from the people, steadily more monolithic and despotic. Only the States themselves can make the effort; which is to say, only the people of the States. Only if the citizens of Virginia, as Virginians; or of Texas, as Texans; or of Iowa, as Iowans, insist upon a strict obedience to the spirit of the 10th amendment, can the Federal juggernaut be slowed. Only if the people evidence a determination once more to do for themselves can the essential vitality of a responsible and resourceful society be restored. I do not despair. So long as the I-beams and rafters of the Constitution remain undisturbed, the ravages of Federal encroachment may be repaired. A latent yearning for personal liberty, an inherited resentment against the authoritarian state, a drowsing spirit of independence—these may yet be awakened. But again, the States, as States, will have to do it. It will not be easy. In many influential quarters, it will not be popular. It is a sweet narcotic that centralists sell. Yet there is high example to be found in what the States have done before to preserve their identity. They have not always been spineless. In times past they have resisted, now successfully, now unsuccessfully; but even in their failures, something has been gained merely in the assertion of State convictions. My purpose here is first to examine the bases of State sovereignty; then to follow the State and Federal relationship from its beginnings under the Articles of Confederation through its refinement in the Constitution; next to review some of the comment on the role the States were expected to play. The place of the States scarcely had been fixed, it will be submitted, before advocates of consolidation began to whittle it down—first in the ''Chisholm'' case, which led to the 11th amendment, and more memorably in the Alien and Sedition Acts, which led to the “Doctrine of ’98” and the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of that year. It is proposed to follow this doctrine of the States’ “right to interpose,” in its various forms and applications down through the years, with particular emphasis upon the dangers of judicial encroachment and the need for State resistance against it. Finally, I have in mind to marshal some of the evidence which supports the case for the South in its immediate conflict with Federal authority, and to review other recent events that seem to me usurpations of the States’ reserved powers. So much, then for the plan of this book. The political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall will not care much for it. {{right|J. J. K.|1em}} {{left|{{sc|Richmond, Va.}}, ''September 1956''.|1em}} }} That was the introduction to the book The Sovereign States, by James J. Kilpatrick. James J. Kilpatrick is one of the greatest editors in the Nation today. I will read certain excerpts from the book, beginning on page 3. First I will read a quotation opposite page 3: {{smaller block|The States within the limitations of their powers not granted, or, in the language of the 10th amendment, “reserved,” are as independent of the General Government as the General Government, within its sphere, is independent of the States. (Justice Samuel Nelson, ''Collector'' v. ''Day'' (1871).)}} Mr. Kilpatrick has done a fine job and rendered a great service to this country in writing this book: {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to here yield to the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, for a question. Mr. LONG. Did I correctly understand the Senator to make the statement that, according to the preface or introduction to the book, the book would be displeasing to those who agreed with Alexander Hamilton, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, the forerunner of the American Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. The editor said that the political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall would not care much for the book. Alexander Hamilton was a great American, but his philosophy was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. They were both great Americans, but Alexander Hamilton believed more in the theory of a strong Central Government, with the power residing in Washington. Thomas Jefferson’s idea was that the power should remain with the States, and that only so much power should be given to the Federal Government as was necessary to perform its functions as delineated in the Constitution. The Senator has probably read many books about Hamilton. In one of such books his philosophy is described in this way: {{smaller block|Speaking of education, Alexander Hamilton’s thought was to select some of the brightest young men and educate them, to make them leaders. Thomas Jefferaon’s philosophy was to give all an opportunity, and let the leaders rise where they would.}} So, when Kilpatrick wrote this statement I am confident that he was contrasting the philosophy of Hamilton more or less with that of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton was a very able man, one of the greatest Americans this country has produced; but his philosophy, as the Senator well knows from studying his life and history, was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it the view of the Senator that Alexander Hamilton would ever for a moment have approved of any proposal whereby an American accused of a crime would have been denied the right to present his case before a jury of impartial people who would hear the case, judge the evidence, and find him guilty or innocent? Mr. THURMOND. In reply, I will say no. I think Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both would have approved of trial by jury. They were both delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and they both rendered magnificent service in many ways. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, if the Senator will further yield, I believe he will find that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, did the Senator yield for a question or a statemen? Mr. LONG. The Senator yielded for a question. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the Senator from Louisiana for a question. The Senator is correct about Thomas Jefferson. I had in mind Madison. Mr. LONG. Does not the Senator realize that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention? The Senator is perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the convention which adopted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. Is not, the Senator perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of those who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson was the American Ambassador to France at the time the Constitution was drafted. Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Thomas Jefferson was Ambassador to France, but Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York State, and he signed the Constitution. In fact, he was the only delegate from New York State who signed the Constitution. When I spoke a few minutes ago about Jefferson, I was thinking about Madison. Madison signed the Constitution, as did Blair. Both were from Virginia. George Washington presided over the Convention. Mr. LONG. Is there any doubt in the Senator’s mind that, so far as Alexander Hamilton was concerned, he would never for a moment have contested the right of any citizen to be tried before a jury if he were accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I agree. If he had taken any other position, he would not have signed the Constitution. As I have stated, Alexander Hamilton was the only delegate from the State of New York who signed the Constitution as representing the State of New York. In the original Constitution, article III, section 2, provided for jury trial. Mr. LONG. Is it not, therefore, true that insofar as the right of a citizen to be tried by jury for a crime is concerned, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would have agreed 100 percent that the freedoms guaranteed Americans under their form of government included the right to be tried by a jury of their own neighbors, in the area where the crime was committed, in the event they were accused of committing a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I can yield only for a question. I shall be glad to express myself after the Senator has concluded. Let the Senator ask any question he wishes. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to state that, although the book from which the Senator is reading may not reflect the views of Alexander Hamilton, it is nevertheless correct to state that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would both have agreed that anyone accused of a crime should have the right to be tried before a jury of his neighbors? Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree. In my judgment, if Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were living today, and both were Members of the Senate, both would be fighting for the right to a jury trial, as provided in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to say that so far as we can determine there has never been a man who served in this body, and who was regarded as a great statesman, who has ever at any time advocated that American citizens should be denied their right to be tried by a jury in the event they were accused of committing a crime against the United States or against a State? Mr. THURMOND. I think the able Senator is eminently correct. I do not know of a great man in our history, any man whom I would consider great, whose name is on the lips of the people—I cannot think of a single one in our history who would take a position in opposition to jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Scott}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from Louisiana? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to paraphrase more or less the words of Shakespeare, that those American politicians who have fought against the freedom of Americans to be tried by a jury when accused of a crime have been politicians who more or less strutted and strutted their brief hour on the stage to be heard from no more? Mr. THURMOND. I do not think any man who takes a stand against giving a person a jury trial will be long remembered after he has gone or when his record is searched and it is found that he opposed a jury trial. I think we would immediately call for a reappraisal of his whole life in the event he had been considered a great man previous to that time. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that men like George Norris, William Borah, and Robert M. La Follette, who fought through the years for the right of trial by jury, have statues standing in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. In fact, there is a quotation from George Norris which I read last night. If I can put my hand on it I should like to read it to the Senator from Louisiana. I have never read a stronger statement in behalf of a jury trial. He said that in all cases a man should have a jury trial. The distinguished Senator from Virginia [Mr. {{sc|Byrd}}] and the distinguished Senator from Mississippi [Mr. {{sc|Eastland}}] and I introduced a bill in March to provide the very type of jury trial which Senator Norris recommended. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. The Senator from South Carolina having made a great study of all these matters involving jury trials, the freedom of Americans, and States rights, can he now name from memory a single one of those Senators who made a fight down through the years to deny American citizens of the right of trial by jury? Mr. THURMOND. I could not name a single man whom I considered a great man or a great Senator who opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator recall the names of any Americans who have served in this body and who have made a fight against the right of a man accused of a crime to be tried by a jury? Can the Senator offhand recall the name of any such person? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot recall the name of any American of any stature within my recollection who has opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator Borah’s statue is just outside the main entrance of the Senate Chamber, immediately outside the door? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. I see it every time I go through the door. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator William E. Borah, a great constitutional lawyer, even though he came from a very small Western State, population considered, was seriously considered by the Republican Party as its nominee for the Presidency of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. I have been told that. I did not know the Senator personally; only through reputation. But I know he was a great American. He declared on April 8, 1930: {{smaller block|I am not contending here that labor organizations can at any time employ threats, force, or violence or intimidation. They must keep within the law—}} He was referring there to jury trials in labor cases. I have a long report including a speech by Senator Norris on May 2, 1930. I read it last night— Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question at that point? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that those who oppose the right of jury trials are basically those who do not believe in the freedoms that Americans enjoy under the Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. I certainly agree with the Senator. I think the jury trial is one of the greatest freedoms we have. I look upon it as the heart of the Bill of Rights. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? MT. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that persons who fear that juries may not convict guilty persons are those who really have very little confidence in the determination of people to uphold free government? Mr. THURMOND. It seems to me they could not have much confidence in human nature; otherwise they would favor jury trials. To be tried by a man’s neighbors, his peers, his fellow men, is the fairest way a man could be tried. I sat on the bench for 8 years and tried many cases, but I always felt much better about it when a jury passed on the question. I watched closely the verdicts of juries. I was deeply impressed. I feel that juries come nearer to meting out justice to criminals than it can be done in any other way. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Recognizing the fact that it is possible for a jury to turn a guilty person free, is it not also true that the freedoms which Americans enjoy under their Constitution were calculated in such fashion as to express the philosophy that it is better to turn 9 guilty men free than to send 1 innocent man to the penitentiary or to his death? Mr. THURMOND. I never did go on the theory of nine guilty ones being turned loose. There is no doubt that there is a common saying to that effect. If I had to make a decision as to whether I would turn 9 guilty ones loose, or put 1 innocent man in prison, I would turn the 9 loose. I think that would be the thinking and the feeling of the average American. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Does not this logic become conclusively clear when we contemplate for a moment a capital punishment case where it is possible to put an innocent man to death? In such a situation, would it not be better for the court to turn 9 culprits loose rather than to kill 1 innocent man? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. There is no question about it. Some juries make mistakes. Anybody in any kind of work makes mistakes. Everybody has weaknesses and there are bound to be errors. Judges make mistakes. Of course, often a judge’s philosophy is different. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that anyone can make mistakes, is it not somewhat better that the scales of justice should be weighted a little in favor of finding a person innocent when there is a considerable doubt as to whether the person is innocent or guilty? Mr. THURMOND. Our law is based on the presumption that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a common legal principle that any lawyer knows about who has practiced any criminal law. I do not know precisely what the Senator had in mind on that, though, for this reason: I do not think if a man is given a jury trial, a jury necessarily lets him go free. I think a jury is going to do what it thinks is right unless it is biased, or has been approached in some way, or influenced in some way. Of course, that happens sometimes. It does not happen often, but I think it does happen sometimes. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Can the Senator imagine a judge who issues an order ordering the entire world to comply with his injunction as being as fair and impartial as a jury before which a case involving a violation of his order should be tried? Mr. THURMOND. When a judge hears a contempt case he is the legislator, he is the prosecutor, he is the judge, and he is the jury. If I were a judge and if such a law as is here proposed were on the books, if I were back on the bench, and if I had to act under this type law, I would submit it to the jury anyway. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that it is contemplated that a judge makes a law by issuing the injunction and then cites the individuals whom he cares to cite, can the Senator think of anything any more inappropriate than the judge who makes the law, addressed to individuals, should be the same person to try the same individuals for violating his own order? Does the Senator not believe that any judge worthy of the name would at least want to have a jury to prove that justice is being done to people who violated his own order? Mr. THURMOND. I think the Senator is eminently correct. It is unfortunate that a judge who issues an order of contempt has to try the case, because he has already made up his mind to a certain degree. Of course, that might be removed. But still he has made up his mind, or he would not issue the order. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that a person who is responsible for issuing the edict and commanding people to do certain things at his discretion should be the last person to make the final decision on who should be punished for not obeying his order? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. In fact, this is known as injunction-made law. That is what it is. It is injunction-made law, and it is bad law. It is much better to have a jury trial. That is the American way of doing things. That is one of the grievances complained of by those who signed the Declaration of Independence, as I have brought out, namely, that in a great many cases they were denied jury trials. Provisions for jury trial are embodied in several places in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so there is no question about the whole intent of our judicial system. Our administration of justice has been based upon jury trials. I think it is one of the most fundamental principles embodied in our type of government. If this so-called compromise amendment were to go a little bit further, it would sound more like a Communist amendment. I do not believe I read what Senator Norris said about jury trial. He said: {{smaller block|I wonder if a suffering people, whose forefathers fought for liberty, are going to give up the idea of it in this day and age, in this civilized day, and are going to submit to injunction-made law.}} He was wondering whether they were going to submit to it. {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|1. THE BEGINNINGS}}}} “The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.” This was on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, June 12, 1788, in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill in Richmond. The Virginia Convention had been grappling for 10 days with the new Constitution, and Edmund Pendleton, aging and crippled, had been sitting in dignified silence for as long as he could stand it. Patrick Henry, who was a hard man to live with at any time, was being especially difficult. Once before, on the 5th, Pendleton bad attempted to soothe him, but Henry was not to be soothed. The State and Federal Governments would be at war with one another, Henry had predicted, and the State governments ultimately would be destroyed and consolidated into the General Government. One by one their powers would be snatched from them. A rapacious Federal authority, ever seeking to expand its grasp, could not be confined by the States. “Notwithstanding what the worthy gentleman said,” remarked Mr. Pendleton with some warmth, for there were times when he regarded Mr. Henry as neither worthy nor a gentleman. “I believe I am still correct, and insist that, if each power is confined within its proper bounds, and to its proper objects, an interference can never happen. Being for two different purposes, as long as they are limited to the different objects, they can no more clash than two parallel lines can meet. * * *” They were big ifs that Edmund Pendleton, a judicious man, here used as qualifications. If the State and Federal Governments were each confined within its proper bounds, be said, the clash could never come. But the Federal Government could not be kept confined, even as Henry feared, and the clash did come. It continues to this day. Mr. Pendleton’s geometry was fine, but his powers of prophecy (for be believed that each government could be kept in check) were sadly in error. To understand how the parallel lines of State and Federal powers have turned awry, it is necessary to look back at the period before these lines were drawn. The acts of ratification by Virginia and her neighbors were acts of sovereign States. At stake was their consent to a written constitution. How, it may be inquired, did they come to be sovereign States? What is this concept of State sovereignty? It would be possible, in any such review, to go back to the great roots of Runnymede, but it will suffice to begin much later, in the turbulent summer of 1776. The startling commitments of Lexington and Concord were behind us then; the bitter trials of White Plains, Vincennes, Camden, and Yorktown still lay ahead. March and April and May had passed—a time of bringing forth of newness, of fresh hope—and great human events had run their course. Now, in June, a resurgent people made the solemn decision to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another. Thus Jefferson’s draft began, thus the Continental Congress adopted it at Philadelphia; from this moment Americans unborn were to date the years of their independence. The eloquent beginning of the Declaration—the assertion of truths self-evident and rights beyond alienation—is well known: It is a towering irony that Jefferson, whose convictions were cemented in the inequality of man, should have his precise phrase corrupted by the levelers of a bulldozer society. The Declaration’s beginning is too much recited and too little read. What counts, for our present purpose, is not the first paragraph, but the last. Let us inquire, What, precisely, was it that we declared ourselves to be that Fourth of July? Hitherto there had been colonies subject to the King. That form of government would now be abolished. We would now solemnly publish and declare to a candid world—what? That the people of the colonies had formed a free and independent nation? By no means. Or that they were henceforth a free and independent people? Still no. This was the declaration: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Not one State, or one Nation, but in the plural—States; and again, in the next breath, so this multiple birth could not be misunderstood, “that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.” It had opened, this Declaration, as an enunciation of what often are termed the “human rights,” but it concluded, in the plainest terms, as a pronouncement of political powers—the political powers of newly created States. And these powers of war and peace, these powers of alliance and commerce, were published not as the powers of a national government, but as powers henceforth asserted by 13 free and independent states. To be sure, the States were united. Their representatives styled themselves Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, but it was not the spokesmen of a nation who gathered in parliament. These were States in Congress. “One out of many,” it is said. In a sense, yes. But the many remained—separate States, individual entities, each possessed, from that moment, of sovereign rights and powers. Certainly Jefferson so understood our creation. “The several States,” he was to write much later, “were, from their first establishment, separate and distinct societies, dependent on no other society of men whatever.” So Mr. Justice Samuel Chase comprehended it: He considered the Declaration of Independence, “as a declaration, not that the United Colonies Jointly, in a collective capacity, were independent States, etc., but that each of them was a sovereign and independent State, that is, that each of them had a right to govern itself by its own authority, and its own laws without any control from any other power on earth.” From the Fourth of July, said Chase, “the American States were ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' in the possession and actual exercise of all the rights of independent governments. * * * I have ever considered it as the established doctrine of the United States, that their independence originated from, and commenced with, the declaration of Congress, on the Fourth of July 1776; and that no other period can be fixed on for its commencement; and that all laws made by the legislatures of the several States, after the Declaration of Independence, were the laws of sovereign and independent governments.” So, too, the sage and cool-minded Mr. Justice Cushing: “The several States which composed this Union * * * became entitled, from the time when they declared themselves independent, to all the rights and powers of sovereign States.” Even Marshall himself had no doubts: In the beginning, “we were divided into independent States, united for some purposes, but in most respects sovereign.” The lines which separate the States, he later remarked, were too clear ever to be misunderstood. And for a contemporary authority, it is necessary only to turn to Mr. Justice Frankfurter, who some years ago fell to discussing the dual powers of taxation preserved under the Constitution: “The States,” he said, “after they formed the Union”—not the people, but the States, “continued to have the same range of taxing power which they had before, barring only duties affecting exports, imports, and on tonnage.” Regrettably, Mr. Justice Frankfurter appears in more recent times to have lost his concept of States forming a Union. It is no matter. Evidence of the States’ individual sovereignty is abundantly available. Consider for example, the powers asserted on the part of each State in the Declaration “to levy War, conclude Peace, and contract Alliances.” Surely these are sovereign powers. The States exercised them, as States, in the Revolutionary War. But it is of value to note that New York also very nearly exercised her war powers to enter into formal hostilities with the State of Vermont. Tensions reached so grave a point that Massachusetts, in 1784, felt compelled to adopt a formal resolution of neutrality, enjoining her citizens to give “no aid or assistance to either party,” and to send “no provisions, arms, or ammunition or other necessities to a fortress or garrison” besieged by either belligerent. When New York adopted a resolution avowing her readiness to “ecur to force,”" Vermont’s Governor Chittenden (whose son was to be heard from 30 years later in another row) observed that Vermont “does not wish to enter into a war with the State of New York.” But should this unhappy contingency result, Vermont “expects that Congress and the 12 States will observe a strict neutrality, and let the contending States settle their own controversy.” They did settle it, of course. New York and Vermont concluded a peace. The point is that no one saw anything especially remarkable in two separate sovereignties arraying themselves against each other. Vermont was then an individual political entity, as remote at law as any France or Italy. And New York, though a member of the Confederation, and hence technically required to obtain the consent of Congress before waging war, had every right to maintain a standing army for her own defense. The status of the individual States as separate sovereign powers was recognized on higher authority than the proclamations of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is worth our while to keep in mind the first article of the treaty of September 3, 1783, by which the war of the Revolution came to an end: “His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign, and independent States; that he treats with them as such.” More than 5 years earlier, a treaty of amity and commerce with France had established the same sovereign status of the contracting parties. Louis XVI. treated with the 13 American States, but he recognized each of them as a separate power. And it is interesting to note that Virginia, feeling some action desirable to complete the treaty, prior to action by Congress, on June 4, 1779, undertook solemnly to ratify this treaty with France on her own. By appropriate resolution, transmitted by Governor Jefferson to the French minister at Philadelphia, the sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia declared herself individually bound by the French treaty. In terms of international law, Virginia was a nation; in terms of domestic law, she was a sovereign State. {{c|{{asc|2. THE STATE}}}} To review the process by which the colonies became States is not necessarily to answer the basic question, What is a State? It is a troublesome word. The standard definition is that a State is “a political body, or body politic; any body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one government, especially one that is not subject to external control.” Chief Justice Chase, in ''Texas'' v. ''White'', put it this way: “A State, in the ordinary sense of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed.” In the Cherokee case, John Marshall described a State as “a distinct political society, separated from others, capable of managing its own affairs and governing itself.” Thus, variously, a State is defined as a body, a community, and a distinct society. Plainly, mere boundary lines are not enough; a tract of waste and uninhabited land cannot constitute a State. Nor are people, as such, sufficient to constitute a State. James Brown Scott once offered this clear and succinct definition: “The State is an artificial person, representing and controlled by its members, but not synonymous or identical with them. Created for a political purpose, it is a body politic. It is a distinct body, an artificial person; it has a will distinct from its members, although its exercise is controlled by them; it has rights and duties distinct from its members, but subject to being changed by them; it may hold property distinct from its members, but in trust for them; it may act separately and distinctly from them and bind them by its acts, but only insofar as it is authorized by the law of its creation, and subject to being changed by the source of that power.” Thus the State is seen as a continuing political being, controlled by its citizens and yet controlling them. The State can be bound in ways that its own people cannot be bound; it can exercise powers that no citizen or group of citizens may exercise for themselves. The State may buy, sell, hold, grant, convey; it may tax and spend; it may sue, and if it consent, be sued; it exists to create law and to execute law, to punish crime, administer justice, regulate commerce, enter into compacts with other States. Yet there is no State until a community of human beings create a State; and no State may exist without the will and the power of human beings to preserve it. It is this combination of will and power which lies at the essence of the State in being. This is sovereignty. In the crisp phrase of John Taylor, of Caroline, sovereignty is “the will to enact, the power to execute.” Long books have been written on the nature of sovereignty, but they boil down to those necessities: The will to make, the power to unmake. It was this power, this will, that the people as States claimed for themselves in 1776. Henceforth, they said, we are sovereign: The State government is not sovereign, nor is any citizen by himself sovereign. By the “sovereign State” we mean us citizens, the State; we collectively, within our established boundaries; this community of people; we alone who are possessed of the power to create or to abandon. God knows it was a great, a priceless, power these people as Stat es claimed for themselves. True, not everyone saw it that way. Mr. Justice Story, for one, never grasped the concept of States. Nor did Jackson. Albert J. Beveridge, in his biography of Marshall, refers sneeringly to the States as “these pompous sovereignties,” but in a way, Beveridge’s is perhaps a high acknowledgment of the simple truth: These infant States were sovereignties, and the people within them were proudly jealous of the fact. They saw themselves, in Blackstone’s phrase, “a supreme, irresistible, absolute, uncontrolled authority.” This, among other things, was the aim they had fought for. It cannot be imagined that they ever would have relinquished this high power of sovereignty except in the most explicit terms. {{c|{{asc|3. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION}}}} In time, the Continental Congress gave way to the Articles of Confederation. The articles merit examination with the utmost care; they are too little studied, and there is much to be learned from them. First proposed in 1778, the articles became binding upon all the States with Maryland’s ratification in 1781. Throughout this period, as the war ran on, each of the States was individually sovereign, each wholly autonomous. Mr. Justice Iredell was to observe, in 1795, that had the individual States decided not to unite together, each would have gone its own way, because each “possessed all the powers of sovereignty, internal and external * * * as completely as any of the ancient kingdoms or republics of the world which never yet had formed, or thought of forming, any sort of Federal union whatever.” But they did form a Federal union—a “perpetual union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.” They styled themselves, “The United States of America,” and in the very second article of their compact, they put this down so no one might miss it: “Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.” The third article is almost equally brief, and may be quoted in less space than would be required to summarize it: “The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.” There will be seen, in these opening paragraphs, the genesis of constitutional provisions that were to follow in less than a decade. Here is the forerunner of the 10th amendment, with its reservation of undelegated powers to the State or to the people; here are the aims set forth of “common defense” and the “general welfare.” The fourth article advanced other phrases that have come down to us: The free inhabitants of each State (“paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice excepted”) were to be entitled to “all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” Here, too, one finds the provision, later to be inserted substantially verbatim in article IV. of the Constitution of 1787, providing for the extradition of fugitives. Here the States mutually agreed that “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State.” The fifth article provided for representation of the States in Congress. There were to be no less than 2, no more than 7 delegates from each State. They would assemble on the first Monday in November of every year. In this Congress, each State cast one vote; each State paid the salary and maintenance of its own delegates. These provisions, of course, were later abandoned; but we may note that the fifth article prohibited delegates to the Congress from “holding any office under the United States for which he or another for his benefit receives any salary, fees, or emolument of any kind,” and also provided that “freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress.” Both provisions were to turn up later in article I., section 6, of the Constitution. The sixth and seventh articles dealt generally with limitations upon the States in terms of foreign affairs and the waging of war. Again, many a familiar phrase leaps from this much-maligned compact of Confederation. No State, nor the Congress, was to grant a title of nobility; no two or more States were to enter into any treaty, confederation, or alliance without the consent of the other States in Congress assembled; no State was to keep vessels of war in time of peace (“except such number as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled”), nor was any State to engaged in war without the consent of Congress “unless such State be actually invaded by enemies, or * * * the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay * * *.” The eighth article provided for defraying the expenses of war among the State “in proportion to the value of all land within each State,” and the ninth article dealt with the powers of Congress. Once more, the origin of a dozen specific phrases in our present Constitution is evident. Congress was given the “sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war.” It was to enter into treaties and alliances, establish certain courts, fix standard weights and measures, and establish post offices. But the Congress alone could do almost none of these things—it could exercise no important power—without the consent of nine of the member States. The remaining 4 articles are of less interest and concern, although it may be noted that in 3 places, the framers of the Articles of Confederation provided that their union was a permanent union. The articles were to be inviolably observed by the States the delegates respectively represented, “and the union shall be perpetual.” {{c|{{asc|4. WE, THE PEOPLE}}}} Of course, it wasn’t perpetual at all. Before 6 years had elapsed, the States came to recognize grave defects in the Articles of Confederation. And because they were sovereign States—because they had the will to enact and the power to execute, because they who had made could unmake—they set out to do the job again. What they made, this time, was the Constitution of the United States. So much has been {{SIC|writen|written}} of the deliberations that summer of 1787 in Philadelphia—so many critics have examined every word of the great document which came forth—that probably no new light can be shed upon it here. Yet the constitutions of most States command their citizens to recur frequently to fundamental principles and the commandment is too valuable an admonition to be passed by. There is much of interest to be found if one examines the Constitution, the debates and the commentaries of the time, in terms of the relationship there established between the States and the new Federal Government they formed. It may be inquired, was sovereignty here surrendered in whole or in part? What powers were delegated, what powers retained?}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I do not want the Senator to strain his voice, but I do have some responsibilities as minority leader. I do not think the Senator is making any motion, but I should at least like to know what is going on in the Senate Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield for a question if the Senator has a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. My question is, Would the Senator speak up? I do not want him to strain his voice, but I should like him to speak a little louder so I shall be sure no motions are being made or anything of that sort. I do have some responsibility here. Mr. THURMOND. I suggest that the Senator move closer to me. Mr. KNOWLAND. Under the rules of the Senate, which are now being strictly enforced, both Senators being in their respective seats, and this happening to be my seat as the minority leader, I urge my request of the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. We might get unanimous consent to allow the Senator to come closer to me if he wishes. I do not think my colleagues will raise any point. There is an excellent seat here, I may say to the Senator. Mr. KNOWLAND. I am very well satisfied with the seat to which I am assigned. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I continue to read: {{smaller block|What were the functions to be performed by the States in the future? Was it ever intended that the States should be reduced to the weakling role thrust upon them in our own time? We must inquire whether this proud possession of State sovereignty, so eloquently proclaimed in 1776, so resolutely affirmed in the articles of 1781, so clearly recognized in the events of the time, somehow vanished, died, turned to dust, totally ceased to exist in the period of the next 6 years. Now, the argument here advanced is this—it is the argument of John Taylor of Caroline and John Randolph of Roanoke—that sovereignty, like chastity, cannot be surrendered in part. This was the argument also of Calhoun: “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” This was the position, too, of the bellicose George Troup of Georgia, of Alexander H. Stephens, of Jefferson Davis. It is the position of plain commonsense: Supreme and ultimate power must be precisely that. Finality knows no degrees. In law, as in mountain climbing, there comes a point at which the pinnacle is reached; nothing higher or greater remains. And so it is with the States of the American Union. In the last resort, it is their prerogative alone (not that of Congress, not that of the Supreme Court, not that of the whole people) to make or unmake our fundamental law. The argument here is that the States, in forming a new perpetual union to replace their old perpetual union, remained in essence what they had been before: Separate, free, and independent States. They surrendered nothing to the Federal Government they created. Some of their powers they delegated; all of their sovereignty they retained. It is keenly important that this distinction be understood. There is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign power. The power to coin money, or to levy taxes, is a sovereign power, but it is not sovereignty. Powers can be delegated, limited, expanded, or withdrawn, but it is through the exercise of sovereignty that these changes take place. Sovereignty is the moving river, sovereign powers the stone at the mill. Only while the river flows can the inanimate stone revolve. To be sure, sovereignty can be lost—it can be lost by conquest, as in war; the extent or character of sovereignty can be changed, as in the acquisition or relinquishment of territory or the annexation of new peoples; sovereignty can be divided, when two States are created of one. But properly viewed, sovereignty is cause; sovereign powers, the effect: The wind that blows; the branches that move. Sovereignty is the essence, the life spirit, the soul: And in this Republic, sovereignty remains today where it was vested in 1776, in the people. But in the people as a whole? No. In the people as States. The delusion that sovereignty is vested in the whole people of the United States is one of the strangest misconceptions of our public life. This hallucination has been encouraged, if not directly espoused, by such eminent figures as Marshall, Story, and Andrew Jackson. It is still embraced by excessively literal and unthinking fellows who read “we the people” in the preamble to the Constitution, and cry triumphantly, “that means everybody.” It does not; it never did. The preamble to the abandoned Articles of Confederation, it was noted, declared the articles “binding between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York,” and so forth. The preamble offered by the Convention of 1787, reads: “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” The opening few words were questioned repeatedly by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention of 1788. He kept asking querulously, what was meant by “we the people,” but he got no very satisfactory answer for his pains. Governor Randolph ducked the question, and Pendleton missed the point. Pendleton asked, rhetorically, “who but the people have a right to form government?” and the answer, obviously, in America, is “no one.” Then Pendleton said this: “If the objection be, that the Union ought to be not of the people, but of the State governments, then I think the choice of the former very happy and proper. What have the State governments to do with it?” Again, the obvious answer is, “The State governments have nothing to do with it,” but that was not the question Henry asked. There is a plain distinction between “we the States” and “we the State governments,” for States endure while governments fall. It was Madison who came closest to answering the insistent Henry. Who are the parties to the Constitution? The people, said Madison, to be sure, are the parties to it, but “not the people as composing one great body.” Rather, it is “the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” And he added:}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina when he was a judge in South Carolina? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair cannot hear. Will the Senator speak a little louder? Mr. THURMOND. From 1938 to 1946, 8 years. Mr. LANGER. The Senator was a circuit judge, was he not? Mr. THURMOND. Yes; in the highest trial court in the State. About half that time I was in the Army, overseas. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Continuing to quote from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|“Were it * * * a consolidated government, the assent of a majority of the people would be sufficient for its establishment; and, as a majority have adopted it already, we remaining States would be bound by the act of the majority, even if they unanimously reprobated it * * * But, sir, no State is bound by it, as it is, without its own consent.” Col. Henry Lee took the same point of view in responding to Patrick Henry. Lighthorse Harry spoke as other proponents of the Constitution did, in irritation and perplexity. He could not comprehend why Henry’s question should even be asked. Obviously, the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble—the “we the people” there and then engaged in ratifying the Constitution—were we “the people of Virginia.” If the people of Virginia “do not adopt it, it will always be null and void as to us.” Here Lee touched and tossed aside what doubtless was so clear to others that they could not understand what Henry was quibbling about. Of course, “we the people” meant what Madison and Lee found so obvious: It meant “we the people of the States.” Why argue the point? “I take this,” said Randolph testily, “to be one of the least and most trivial objections that will be made to the Constitution.” The self-evident fact, as plain as the buttons on their coats, was that the whole people, the mass of people from Georgia to New Hampshire, obviously had nothing to do with the ratification of the Constitution. The basic charter of our Union never was submitted to popular referendum, taken simultaneously among the 3 million inhabitants of the country on some Tuesday in 1788. Ratification was achieved by the people of the States, acting in their sovereign capacity not as “Americans,” for there is no “State of America,” but in their sovereign capacity as citizens of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Georgia. This was the sovereign power that sired the new Union, breathed upon it, gave it life—the power of the people of the States, acting as States, binding themselves as States, seeking to form a more perfect union not of people, but of States. And if it be inquired, as a matter of drafting, why the preamble of the Articles of Confederation spelled out 13 States and the preamble of the Constitution referred only to “we the people,” a simple, uncomplicated explanation may be advanced: The framers of the Constitution, in the summer of 1787, had no way of knowing how many States would assent to the compact. Suppose they had begun the preamble, as they thought of doing, “We the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island,” etc., and the State of Rhode Island had refused to ratify? It very nearly did. It was not until May 29, 1790, by a vote of 34 to 32, that Rhode Island agreed to join a union that actually had been created with New Hampshire’s ratification nearly 2 full years before. Given a switch of two votes, Rhode Island might have remained, to this day, as foreign to the United States (in terms of international law) as any Luxembourg or Switzerland. Some of these forebodings clearly passed through the minds of the delegates at Philadelphia. When the preamble first appears in the notes, on August 6, it reads: “We the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,” etc., “do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution.” In that form it was tentatively approved on August 7. But the preamble, in that form, never is mentioned again. When the document came back from the Committee on Style in early September, the preamble had been amended to eliminate the spelled-out names of States, and to make it read simply that “we the people” ordain and establish. The change was not haggled over. No significance was attached to it. Why arouse antagonism in New York or North Carolina (where there was opposition enough already) by presuming to speak, in the preamble, as if it were unnecessary for New York or North Carolina even to debate the matter? The tactful and prudent thing was to name no States. Only the people as States could create the Union; only the people in ratifying States would be bound, as States, by its provisions. {{c|{{asc|5. THE STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION}}}} In the end, that was the way the compact read. It bound States—“The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between”—between whom?—“between the States so ratifying the same.” Not among people; it was “between States.” And this proposal was put forward “by the unanimous consent,” not of delegates assembled or of people gathered, but by “the unanimous consent of the States present the 17th day of September in the year of our Lord 1787 * * *.” On the plain evidence of the instrument itself, it is therefore clear: States consented to the drafting of the Constitution; States undertook to bind themselves by its provisions. If 9 States ratified, the Constitution would bind those 9; if 10, those 10. Rhode Island had not even attended the convention; “poor, despised Rhode Island,” as Patrick Henry later was to describe her, could stay aloof if she chose. There was no thought here of people in the mass. There was thought only of people as States, and while the new Constitution would of course act directly upon people—that was to be its revolutionary change—it would reach those people only because they first were people of States. The one essential prerequisite was for the State, as a State, to ratify; then the people of the State would become themselves subject to the Constitution. No individual human being, in his own capacity, possibly could assent to the new compact or bind himself to its provisions. Only as a citizen of Virginia or Georgia or Massachusetts could he become a citizen also of the United States. Madison recognized this. He acknowledged in his famed Federalist 39 that ratification of the Constitution must come from the people “not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.” “Each State,” he said, in ratifying the Constitution, “is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” This fact lay at the essence of the Federal Union being formed. The States, and within them their local governments, were to be “no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The jurisdiction of the Federal Government was to extend “to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.” Even the most casual reading of the Constitution, it may be submitted, abundantly supports Madison’s comment here.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield to the able Senator from North Dakota for a question. Mr. LANGER. I should like to ask whether at any time in the history of South Carolina the courts permitted a defendant to be tried without a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In South Carolina anyone who wishes a jury may have one. There are a few instances where both sides agree to be tried without a jury, by the court. But a defendant is entitled to a jury trial in my State, as is the case in other States which follow the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. In what year was South Carolina admitted to the Union? It was one of the original colonies, was it not? Mr. THURMOND. In 1789. It was the eighth State admitted to the Union. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further for a question? Mr: THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Even at that time in South Carolina a defendant had the right to a jury trial, did he not? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. That has been the law continuously up to the present time? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. A defendant in South Carolina is always entitled to a jury trial when charged with a crime. Mr. LANGER. Is that also true in North Carolina? Mr. THURMOND. I would not attempt to speak for North Carolina, but I feel quite certain that that is a fact. I believe nine States ratified the Constitution before North Carolina did. So North Carolina came in after the Union was formed. So did Rhode Island. Rhode Island was the only State that did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The reason for that was that Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals at that time and it did not send any deputies. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it true that in every State in the United States under our Constitution a defendant has the right to a trial by jury in a criminal case? Mr. THURMOND. In every State of the United States a defendant charged with a crime has the right of trial by jury. Some persons confuse magistrate courts or minor courts; but even there, although we may not see it, there is a jury box. Most persons, unless they are lawyers, do not know that defendants are entitled to a jury trial in those courts. There is a jury box hidden somewhere. Nine out of ten do not ask for a jury trial; that is, in cases where the punishment is a fine of $100 or 30 days. But even there if a man says “Wait a minute, Mr. Recorder; I want a trial before a jury,” it must be given to him. Mr. LANGER. That is true, for example, if a man is arrested and charged with spitting on the sidewalk or with stealing one cent? Mr. THURMOND. Any crime. Mr. LANGER. In other words, trial by jury is fundamental? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct; and rightly so, because that was one of the grievances pointed out a little earlier today that our forefathers listed in the Declaration of Independence. That was one grievance charged against the King, that in many cases persons had been denied trial by jury. That is written definitely into the Constitution. The right of trial by jury was included in several places in the Bill of Rights. The sixth amendment provides that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That was because our forefathers were taking no chances on not having a jury trial assured to them under the Constitution. In the seventh amendment it is provided, also, and there is another provision, I believe, in the fifth amendment, that a man must be indicted by a grand jury before he is tried. Under the bill that came from the House a grand jury will not pass on the question at all. Under this so-called compromise, a man is taken before a judge and is tried. He is not even asked if he wants a trial by a jury. But in the usual procedure, when the Constitution is followed, a man has to be indicted by a grand jury. In my State 18 grand jurors have to agree to a true bill before a man can be brought up for trial. He has a trial before a petit jury. In Federal courts a man can be indicted by a grand jury or on information, but in State courts a man is indicted by a grand jury. But in all the history of judicial administration in this country it has been clear that the American people have been entitled to a jury trial, and it goes back even further than the Declaration of Independence. It goes back to the Magna Carta, when the citizens of England wrung from King John in the year 1215, at Runnymede, certain rights for the people. I presume you and I, Mr. President, would call them civil rights, more or less, or corresponding to our Bill of Rights. But the people wrung from King John certain rights, and one of those rights was that a man charged with a crime would be entitled to a jury trial. So, going back to the year 1215, on down to this time, our people have had a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a further question. Mr. LANGER. Is it the opinion of the Senator from South Carolina that of all the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights the very heart and very core of the 10 amendments is the right of the defendant to be tried by a jury? Mr. THURMOND. All the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights are important, but I think the trial-by-jury provision as generally spoken of is the heart of the Bill of Rights. That is the importance attached to it. It is generally spoken of as the heart of the Bill of Rights. In other words, if there should be cut out of the Bill of Rights the right of a trial by jury you have cut the heart of the Bill of Rights out; it would be excised. What is it to have freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of the press or right to petition the Government or the right to assemble, all of which are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, or to keep troops from being quartered in our homes, or all the other things guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if some tyrant, whether a Federal district judge, or any other kind of tyrant, can take a man and himself try him without a jury and put him in prison; and, of course, if a man is in prison he cannot enjoy his civil rights? Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator. We have gotten down to the very core of this entire proposal. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate his deep interest in this matter. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota has manifested an unusual interest in the right of trial by jury. He has the vision to see the importance of trial by jury and to see how this proposed bill the House has passed is attempting to bypass the Constitution and in doing so, of course, is violating the Constitution and therefore is a bill the Congress ought to kill. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. For 4 years I was attorney general of my State. Mr. THURMOND. I understand the Senator made a very distinguished record as attorney general of the State of North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. During that time, of course, I had a great deal to do with juries. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure the Senator did. Mr. LANGER. And in every single case I submitted to a court a jury trial had been waived. Mr. THURMOND. Every case the Senator tried I imagine was before a jury. Mr. LANGER. That is correct. I should like to ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina whether in his experience in South Carolina it is true that the average defendant can get better justice from a jury than he can from a judge, no matter how honest and fair the judge may be? Mr. THURMOND. Regardless of how fair and impartial the judge is or wants to be, it is my judgment from my experience on the bench for 8 years—and as I said, for about half of that time I was in the Army during World War II.—and from my practice of law before then, since 1930 when I was admitted to the bar—and after I left the Governor’s office in January 1951, I practiced until I came to the Senate—I consider that juries give fair verdicts, and I think it would be destroying the administration of justice if we should take any step to hamper or injure or impair in any way the jury system of the United States. Mr. LANGER. Again I want to thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I read further: {{smaller block|But the Constitution ought not to be read casually. Viewed from the standpoint of State and Federal relations, what does the Constitution say and do? The rubrics do not demand, before an ordinary mortal may explore the question, that he be ordained a constitutional lawyer or put on the chasuble of the bench. Our Constitution is not the property of a juridical clergy only. The laity may read it too, and with equal acuity and understanding. The terms are not ambiguous. The first thing to note, perhaps, is that the words “State” or “States” appear no fewer than 94 times, either as proper nouns or pronominals, in the brief 6,000 words of the original 7 articles. The one theme that runs steadily through the whole of the instrument is the knitting together of States: It is a union that is being formed, and while the people are concerned for themselves and their posterity, the Constitution is to be established binding States. Legislative powers, to begin at the beginning, are vested not in one national parliament of the people, but in a Congress of the United States. The word “Congress” was chosen with precision; it repeated and confirmed the political relationship of the preceding 11 years, when there had been first a Continental Congress and then a Congress under the Articles of Confederation. This Congress is to consist of two Houses. The first is the House of Representatives, whose Members are to be chosen “by the people of the several States.” And here, in the very second paragraph, the framers encountered and opportunity to choose between a “national” and a “federal” characteristic: They might have established uniform national qualifications for the franchise, but they did not. Electors qualified to vote for candidates for the House of Representatives are to have “the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.” Representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned—how? “Among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers.” How is this enumeration to be determined? The provision should be noted with care, for it is the first of four clauses that speaks eloquently of the plural nature of our Union: “The actual enumeration shall be made within 3 years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.” Now, the antecedent of they is not “Congress,” but “United States.” Nowhere in the whole of the Constitution or in any of the subsequent amendments is the United States an “it.” The singular never appears. What else sheds light in the second section of article I.? We find that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” whereupon follows a rollcall of the States themselves: “Until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse 3, Massachusetts 8,” and so forth. And when vacancies happen “in the representation from any State,” the Governor thereof is to issue a writ of election. The dignity and sovereignty of States are made still more evident in the composition of the Senate. It is to be composed “of two Senators from each State,” and whereas Representatives are required to be inhabitants of the States “in which” they shall be chosen, Senators must be inhabitants of the States “for which” they shall be chosen. It is in section 4 that the first grant of authority to the Federal Government appears: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but”—and here the qualified concession—“the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chusing Senators.” The delegations of power to a federal government appear most fully, of course, in section 8, but it is worth noting that not all the powers delegated to Congress are exclusive and unqualified powers. Thus, the Congress may raise and support armies, “but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.” Thus, the Congress may provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of the militia as may be employed in the service of the United States, but there is reserved “to the States respectively” the appointment of officers and the authority to train their militia according to regulation established by Congress. Thus, too, Congress may exercise Federal authority over federally owned property within the States, but how is such property to be acquired? The authority of the Congress extends only to those places “purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be,” and this applies not only to military and naval installations but also to “other needful buildings.” Several provisions in section 9 merit attention. As a concession to the slave trade—one of the essential compromises without which the Constitution never would have come into being at all—it was provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” shall not be prohibited prior to 1808. Then follow seven paragraphs of specific restrictions upon the powers of Congress. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended; no bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed; no direct tax shall be levied except according to the census of the people as a whole; no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported “from any State;” and—again emphasizing the separateness of the member States forming the Union—“no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue of the ports of one State over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.” In section 10, the States undertook to restrict themselves. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; no State shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver legal tender; no State shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Yet even here, the prohibitions are not without qualification. Thus, the States reserved to themselves the right to levy tariffs on imports or exports sufficient to execute their inspection laws; and though the fact is often forgotten, the States even reserved to themselves the solemn power they had claimed under the Articles of Confederation, to “engage in war,” as States, if “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Ellender}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am very curious. I ask the Senator from South Carolina whether he knows how the House of Representatives arrived at the decision to provide for a maximum of 45 days and $300 in this instance. Why did not the House of Representatives decide to make the maximum number of days 50, and why did it not choose, as the maximum amount of fine, $250 or $500? Mr. THURMOND. I should like to answer the question the distinguished Senator asked, but I cannot do so. I was not consulted about this compromise. All I know about it is that I heard the majority leader made an announcement, following the taking of action in the House of Representatives. And then I read about it in the newspaper. But I had understood—and the distinguished Senator from California [Mr. {{sc|Knowland}}] can correct me about this if I am mistaken—that there was an effort on the part of the Republicans to provide for 60 days. But, since the Senate had not voted for any provision of this sort, but had voted only for a straight jury-trial provision, 45 days was selected as a compromise. That is my understanding of the matter. I pass on to the Senator from North Dakota only what I heard. But perhaps the Senator from California can answer the question. At any rate, even if 60 days had been originally proposed, and finally 45 days was decided on, the Senate got the worst end of the bargain. However, even if the provision had been for only 1 day, in my opinion the principle would be the same, because under the Constitution a citizen is entitled to a jury trial; and the Congress has no power to pass a law providing that a Federal judge or any other judge can deprive a citizen of a jury trial. However, under this proposal, a judge would be able, in two ways, to deprive a citizen of a jury trial. In the first place, the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to allow the person to have a jury trial in the first instance. If the judge decided that there could be a jury trial, the citizen would have a jury trial. If the judge decided that there would not be a jury trial, the judge himself would try the case. Next, if the judge decided to try the case himself, without a jury, the judge would proceed to try it. If, at the conclusion of the case, the judge were to determine that the punishment he would mete would be more than 45 days imprisonment or a fine of more than $300, the judge would then give the citizen another trial. In other words, this provision of the compromise would give the judge the option of trying the citizen in the first place, and it would give the judge the option of deciding how much punishment he would mete, and then the amount of punishment imposed would determine whether the citizen would receive still another trial. All those exceptions are entirely foreign to the Constitution. The Constitution provides that a man charged with the commission of a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That provision is as plain as can be. Any child in the fifth grade in school can read it and understand it; and there should not be any difficulty in understanding it. However, as I have understood in arriving at the compromise an attempt was made to get together on some provision; and the result was a monstrosity. It turned out to be an unconstitutional provision, in my opinion. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield again? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. What I should like to know is this: Is there any precedent, anywhere in the entire United States, for a measure such as this, by means of which a defendant could be tried by a judge, if the sentence imposed were imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or any other number of days, or the imposition of a fine of any size; but that if the term of imprisonment were longer or the amount of the fine were greater, there must be a jury trial? Can the Senator from South Carolina name any precedent at all for such a provision? Mr. THURMOND. I know of no place in the United States where a person charged with a crime does not have a jury trial. Even under the present criminal-contempt procedure, under existing law, if one is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no instance in any part of the United States, from Maine or the State of Washington on the north, to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or any of the other States in the southern part of the Nation, in which one who is charged with the commission of a crime does not have a trial by jury. It seems to me that in the conference, some one or more of the conferees should have raised the point, “This provision would be contrary to the Constitution, and we cannot include such a provision.” It seems to me some of the conferees would have suggested that the Constitution provides to the contrary. There is a decision which can be cited on that point; I think I have called it to the attention of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. The decision in that case holds that criminal contempt is a crime; and, since it is a crime, one charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. If there is to be passed a bill providing punishment for criminal contempt, it should provide for a jury trial. I know of no way to get around a jury trial in this matter because the Constitution has laid down the law. That is basic law. The Constitution can be amended. Congress can submit an amendment to it. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, and it can be amended so as to provide that a Federal judge in his discretion can give a man a jury trial. Then the compromise would be legal, and what it proposes would be effective. It would be. valid. As the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] said today, confirming my judgment, as it stands now it is not valid. I think it is unconstitutional. The Senator from Wyoming expressed his opinion likewise. We could amend the Constitution to provide for it. Congress could pass a law to provide that a Federal judge could punish a man for contempt, by so many days’ imprisonment, or by a fine of so many dollars. We could do that, but it has not been done. Until the Constitution is amended in the manner provided in the Constitution itself, we must abide by it. I know that many people in this country would like to get around the Constitution, and it looks as if they have been doing so. The Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution in some cases, and other branches of the Government at times have encroached upon the Constitution because there is divisional power between the Federal Government and the State governments. When we cross the line of the State government, as here, without constitutional authority, we violate the Constitution. The States entered into this pact, the Constitution, about which we are talking so much, and in this pact they delegated to the Union only certain things, and they are just as plain as they can be. They are listed in the Constitution. I should like to read to the distinguished Senator what the Constitution says on that point. Article I., section 1, provides: {{smaller block|All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.}} I will not take the time to go through all that. I will skip to the pertinent portions. Section 7 of article I. provides: {{smaller block|All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills. Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds—}} I will skip to section 8. That is more pertinent. This is what the Congress has power to do. The powers are listed. {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.

Will the Senator suspend to receive a message from the President of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. Certainly. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Presiding Officer, the “Message from the President,” is dealt with, as is the “Executive Message Referred” and a “Message from the House.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to Senate amendments Nos. 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. I continue to read from article I., section 2: {{smaller block|To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.}} Congress would not have the power to pass bankruptcy laws, indeed Congress could not pass a law on any subject except for the power given to it by the Constitution. This provision I have read is the basis for our bankruptcy law. {{smaller block|To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures. To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States. To establish post offices and post roads.}} That is your authority for the Federal Government to act in that field. {{smaller block|To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries. To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.}} That gives authority to Congress to establish certain courts of appeals and district courts. They are inferior tribunals, that is, inferior to the United States Supreme Court. {{smaller block|To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.

To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.}} But no appropriation of money for that purpose shall be for a longer term than 2 years. We cannot appropriate money for the Defense Establishment for more than 2 years because the Constitution limits it. If we should attempt to do that, we would go beyond the Constitution. I think that is a suggestion which may apply to foreign aid. If we should commit ourselves for 5 years or 10 years, I think that would be unconstitutional. But some of the defense items are classified under the term “foreign aid.” {{smaller block|To provide and maintain a Navy; To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces; To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.

I wish to call attention to a point: {{smaller block|Reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} Do you not know, Mr. President, that if that section was not in the Constitution the Federal Government would be appointing the officers of the National Guard? That is the reason the Government cannot do it: the Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding 10 miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;}} For that reason the Federal Government cannot go to Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, or New Hampshire and buy a piece of land until the legislature passes an act approving such purchase. Under the provision the State must approve the transaction with respect to property within its borders, whether it owns the property or not, before the Federal Government can get it. Of course, the Government could condemn it; but if it followed the Constitution it would not be able to take it. The Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. {{sc|Sec.}} 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to year 1808, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding $10 for each person. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.}} Regardless of what a State wishes to do, the United States Constitution provides that a writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended unless—note the exception—“unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” {{smaller block|No bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed. No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.}} We have the income-tax amendment to the Constitution. The 16th amendment to the Constitution provides that Congress can levy an income tax. That is the only authority in the Federal Government to levy an income tax. It does not inherently have that authority. The Federal Government can do only what the States gave it the authority to do when they entered into the compact in Philadelphia in 1787, and the amendments which have been adopted since then. Two years later, in 1789, the States adopted the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, for which there was so much sentiment. I do not believe the Constitution would have been ratified if the delegates to the convention had not promised the Bill of Rights would be submitted, and it was submitted and adopted 2 years after the convention, in 1789. {{smaller block|No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State. No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another. No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.}} That is the only reason the States do not impose duties on some articles; otherwise they would probably do it, but under the Constitution they cannot do it. {{smaller block|No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.}} In other words, if I were an ambassador in London and the Queen of England wished to confer on me a title or wished to give me extra compensation for some reason I could not take the title or compensation unless Congress permitted it. Congress would have to pass an act to permit it. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 10. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ''ex post facto'' law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.}} In other words, that goes right down the line to support the point I make. So the Constitution provides exactly what the Federal Government can do. What hurts me is to see some distinguished Members of Congress, able men who believe in the division of powers between the Federal and State Governments—or I always thought they did—going along with the bill, because this is a bill that takes power away from the States and gives it to the Federal Government. The matter of elections is left up to each State. That power was not delegated. The qualifications for electors, the holding of elections, and all relevant matters were reserved to the States. There has been a movement, I understand to get the Congress to pass a bill eliminating the poll tax. I believe I told the Senate this morning, or this afternoon, that when I was Governor, I recommended that the poll tax be removed in my State and it was removed. But Congress may not pass a law to do it. It could do it, but it would be unconstitutional for the reason that there is a provision of the Constitution which states that the qualifications of electors shall be left to each State. Therefore, New Hampshire has qualifications and if the people of that State wish to make as a qualification for voting in that State the payment of a poll tax, they have a right to do so. The only way such a measure could be enacted legally, if it were going to be the law nationwide, would be for Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the poll tax. The Senator from Florida [Mr. {{sc|Holland}}] has now pending a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate the poll tax, amending the Constitution. To do that would be legal; it would be constitutional, and it would be proper. Personally I think it is better to leave to each State the power to fix the qualifications for voting of its citizens. In my State, as I have said, we have very low qualifications. We have heard much about people in my State not voting. I believe more people vote in my State than vote in New York, because New York has a much higher standard for voting. That State requires, I believe someone said, a high-school education. Someone else said it requires a grade-school education. It is certainly one of the two. In my State we require only that a man be able to read and write the Constitution, or that he own $300 worth of assessed property. So our requirements for voting are not stringent. They are not nearly as strict as they are in New York. I do not know about the requirements in the State of the Senator from North Dakota. A few years ago I was Governor of South Carolina. At that time a bill was pending in Congress to remove the poll tax on a nationwide basis. Congress was to do it. It would have been just as unconstitutional as this so-called compromise, whose proponents are trying to get it through the Congress, to deprive the people of a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. I thank my distinguished friend. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, I do not believe that American history is taught sufficiently in our high schools and colleges. I do not believe that a course in government is taught in our high schools and colleges. I come in contact with a great many intelligent people, people who have been educated, big financiers who have made a great deal of money, and many others; yet they do not know the fundamentals of the Constitution. It is because they have not studied it. I think the people of the country would be wise to study the Constitution. I think it is more important today than ever before for the people to study it and be able to delineate the powers of the Federal Government, and learn what the Federal Government has not the power to do. For example, the Congress has no power to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, because the qualifications of voters are left to each State. There are a great many things which Congress cannot do. Yet pressure is brought on Members of Congress, and they vote for certain measures anyway, because of the pressure. Why do Senators think this so-called compromise on the civil rights bill is being pressed? Why is there any civil rights bill before us? Why call this measure a right-to-vote bill? It is a perfect farce. It is not a right-to-vote bill. As I have stated, every State in the Union has statutes providing for the right to vote. The Federal Government has statutes providing for the right to vote. Why is such a bill as this being considered at this time? Because there are pressures on Members of Congress to do so. Some Members of Congress attempted to do so, even though they were doubtful of the constitutionality of the measure. The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] stated earlier in the day that he did not think the jury trial amendment which was put in the compromise bill in the House was constitutional. He said he would offer an amendment in January to correct it. I would rather see him vote against it now. If the bill should pass anyway, he could later offer his amendment. But if a bill is unconstitutional, I think it is better for us not to vote for it. I think Members of Congress must develop stamina, fortitude, and courage to resist pressures, and to stand by the Constitution. If we do not do so, as I stated earlier in the day, we shall keep whittling away the rights of the States until, after a while, the States will not have any rights. There will be a powerful Central Government—and it will be a powerful monster, too. Everything will radiate from Washington. I understand there is a movement on foot to establish a national police system. It is desired to convert the FBI, which is purely an investigative agency, into a law-enforcement agency. It is not a law-enforcement agency. Congress would not have the right to establish a national police agency, because under the Constitution the police power is reserved to the States. However, this investigative agency, the FBI, is in a different situation. It does not do police work. It apprehends criminals and works with the States, and cooperates in the execution of Federal laws, apprehending violators and bringing them to trial. But it is not a police agency. I am glad that Mr. J. Edgar Hoover said that he was opposed to a national police system. I am sorry to see that the President has been recommending a bill to provide Federal aid to education by way of construction of school buildings. I have been amazed at the fact that so many people are not acquainted with the fact that in the entire Federal Constitution there is not a sentence which contains the word “education.” The word “education” is not to be found in the United States Constitution. Therefore, since the States did not delegate the field of education to the Federal Government, the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in that field, unless we amend the Constitution and give the Federal Government jurisdiction in the field of education. We can amend the Constitution. We can follow one of the four methods of amending the Constitution, and give the Federal Government authority in that field, if that is the wise thing to do, which I do not think it is. However, that is the way it must be done. We have no authority to appropriate money for Federal aid to education. I know that the President’s intentions are good. However, at Columbia University several years ago he was against Federal aid to education. At any rate, it would be a great mistake for the Federal Government to enter the field of education. After we begin giving money for Federal aid to education by way of construction, the next demand from the powerful National Education Association, which I understand is building a tremendous office building in Washington, will be for a supplement to the salaries of teachers. The National Education Association will bring pressure on Members of Congress, as do other pressure organizations, and will say, “We need supplements to teachers’ salaries.” When we enact legislation for Federal aid to construct the buildings, and to provide supplements to teachers’ salaries, the Federal Government will be asked to pay a larger share of such salaries, and there will be more and more control to go with it. Before we know it, there will be Federal control of education, and the parents of the Nation will find their children studying books selected in Washington, instead of by the people in Delaware, North Dakota, and South Carolina. It is a great mistake for us not to follow the Constitution. If the Constitution needs amending, we can amend it. There is a provision for amending it, and it should be amended from time to time. There have been 22 amendments since it was adopted. In 1789 the first 10 amendments were adopted. Since then, 12 other amendments have been adopted. There are now 22 amendments to the Constitution. We were talking about the 16th amendment awhile ago, the income-tax amendment. I think most people feel that it is necessary, although the income tax appears high. Therefore there had to be a way to bring it about. Congress could not pass an income-tax law. It had no authority to do so until the Constitution had been amended to give Congress the power to do it. I think it is important to understand what we mean by the division of powers between the Federal Government and the State governments. We have a compound Republic. It is a compound Republic because there are Federal powers and State powers. There are three branches in the Federal Government, each of which checks on the others, with the exception of the Supreme Court. It has practically no check on it, and it has gone wild. There are three branches in the State governments. Each is supposed to be a check on the others. There are two checks on the Supreme Court. In the first place, we can impeach Supreme Court justices. However, the House must do the impeaching, and the Senate sits as a jury to hear the case. So, there is not much the Senate can do from that standpoint. The other one is that, under the Constitution, the appellate power of the Supreme Court can be controlled by the Congress, so that if Congress saw fit to pass a bill to limit the {{SIC|appelate|appellate}} power of the Supreme Court, Congress would have that right. The Constitution gives it the power to do that. Many persons think we have to amend the Constitution before we can do that. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Would the Senator say that would be a form of cruel and inhuman punishment to impose upon his colleagues? Mr. THURMOND. I would say it is cruel and inhuman punishment to impose on the citizens of America if we pass a bill without providing for a jury trial. (Manifestations of applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The galleries will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. I have received letters from a number of States, and I have been in California. I spent a week there in the fall of 1953. Starting at Long Beach and ending up at San Francisco, I made addresses all the way up the coast. I even went to Bakersfield and saw an old friend of the Senator from California there. I talked with many persons there. Unless they have had a change in sentiment, they think, just as the people of South Carolina do, that there should be jury trials. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does not the distinguished Senator also think that the people of California are interested in the 15th amendment to the Constitution, assuring all American citizens the right to vote? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the people of California are, and I am sure the people of South Carolina are. The people of South Carolina have done something about it, just as have the people of California. Last night, when the distinguished Senator from California was resting comfortably, I was speaking here and trying to rouse the people of America concerning the dangers of taking away their right of trial by jury. I placed in the {{sc|Record}} the statutes of California on that subject, and here is what they provide: {{smaller block|“California: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Elections Code Annotated—West’s—1955: “Hindering public meeting: Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence, willfully hinders of prevents electors from assembling in public meetings for consideration of public questions (sec. 5004). “Intimidating voter: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor, who, directly or indirectly, uses, or threatens to use, force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts, or threatens to inflict, any injury, damage, harm, or loss, or other forms of intimidation, to compel a person to vote, or refrain from voting, at any election (sec 1158). “Interference with free exercise of elective franchise: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent means, impedes or prevents the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or who compels or induces a voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person (sec. 11582). “Election officers: Any election officer who induces, or attempts to induce, any voter, either by menace or reward, to vote differently from the way he intended to vote, is guilty of a felony. (sec. 11583). “Threat by employer: Any employer, whether a corporation or natural person, is guilty of a misdemeanor, if he encloses material in the pay envelopes containing threats, express or implied, intended to influence political opinions or action of employees, or who, within 90 days before an election, exhibits any placard, etc., in the place of employment, containing such threats (secs. 11584, 11585). “Penalty: Any corporation guilty of intimidating a voter shall forfeit its charter (sec. 11586). “Misdemeanor: Unless a different penalty is prescribed, a misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by fine of not over $500, or by both (Penal Code, sec. 19). “Scope of penalty provisions: All penalty provisions listed above apply to both final elections and primary elections (sec. 11500).”}} Those are statutes of the State of California, and they are good statutes. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does the Senator not recognize the fact that under the voting rights bill which the Senate is attempting to pass but which the Senator from South Carolina has, for the moment, successfully prevented the Senate from passing, there is not a single individual who can be cited for either civil or criminal contempt if another American citizen is deprived of his right to vote under the Constitution? So, if the Senator is correct in his statement that no person is deprived of his right to vote in his State—and I feel certain that no American citizen is denied the right to vote in my State—neither California nor South Carolina would cite any public official or other person criminally unless they were depriving people of their right to vote under the laws of the State. Mr. THURMOND. I think some part of the Union could nullify the Constitution, just as I think some juries turn loose some defendants who are guilty. Some judges will make mistakes, too. But why do we not let the States alone and let them handle their own problems? I know the southern people and I know they are doing all they can for the Negro. I see my friend the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting next to the Senator from California. He feels that his State is doing all it can. I know the State of Mississippi, from which come my good friends, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} and Senator {{sc|Stennis}}, is doing all it can. We cannot change customs overnight. We have to let the local people work these things out. But Congress did not care to let the local people work these things out. All that is necessary is to have enforcement of the Federal statute. There is a Federal statute, to which I called attention today. For the benefit of Senators who were not here at the time, I may say that this statute provides that whoever intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, is guilty of a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment of 1 year. Mr. COOPER. Will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator know that there has never been any question, since the War Between the States, about the Negro population in Kentucky having the right to vote, and exercising that right? Mr. THURMOND. I have never heard any question about it. I simply say that in my State the Negroes are voting in large numbers. They claimed the credit for carrying the election for Stevenson in 1952, and at that time there was a very close election. They claimed they cast more than 80,000 votes, which was about 25 percent of the total. Their own newspaper contained that information. I have a clipping from that newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer. So they are certainly voting in my State, and I am sure they are voting in the Senator’s State. Is it not better to let the local people work out these problems, rather than to rush things on them, and try to change their customs overnight? As a matter of fact, if you gentlemen want to take any action, however, if the proponents of this bill are not satisfied—I do not think the distinguished Senator is dissatisfied—with the enforcement by the governors of the States of the Nation—and the governors are the chief executive officers of the States and are responsible for enforcing the law—or if the Federal Government is not satisfied with the enforcement being given by the governors to the voting laws of the States to protect the rights of people to vote, then why do they not enforce the Federal statute, which is already on the books? Mr. COOPER. Because of the Senator’s kind reference, I should like to ask a question as follows: Does the Senator know that in Kentucky all citizens, including all Negroes, have had, since the War Between the States, the right to vote, have exercised that right, and that it has never been questioned? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is the case, because I have heard that they vote there. They are voting in the South in larger numbers than ever before. No persons in my State are deprived of the right to vote. If they are qualified to vote, they are allowed to vote. Of course, no man who is not qualified ought to be allowed to vote. New York State has a much higher standard, as I said a while ago, than we have. If a person can merely read or write in my State, he can vote. In New York one has to be a high-school graduate, I believe, or at least has to meet a literacy test. So we are not nearly so strict in South Carolina as they are in New York. The Senator comes from a border State. Kentucky is a great State. I suggest to the Senator, however, since he is from a border State that went in part with the North and in part with the South, that the Senator stick with the South. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I will ask the Senator if it is not true that Kentucky had to make that choice almost a hundred years ago and they chose to stick with the Union? Mr. THURMOD. Mr. President, if there is any Member in the Senate who is not satisfied with the voting protection given by the governors and the other officials of the States of the Nation, again I say that all they have to do is to call upon the Justice Department to enforce section 594. It is now against the Federal law to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or to attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any voter, in any way, shape, or form. That is the Federal statute which is on the books now. Why not enforce that statute? What is the idea of coming here with a right-to-vote bill? That is a big, high-sounding word that does not mean anything. If we pass this bill, we will pass an unconstitutional bill. It will be all right if the Justice Department will enforce section 594. I believe they are enforcing it. Is there anyone that thinks they are not enforcing this law? Is there anyone who thinks the present administration is not enforcing section 594? If the Justice Department are enforcing this law, they are protecting people in this matter now. If they are not enforcing this law, let them enforce it, and that will protect them. Either the Justice Department are not enforcing this law, if they have had complaints, or they have not had any complaints. Has the Justice Department had complaints, such as we have been hearing about, that many people have been denied the right to vote? We hear that in the South many people are denied the right to vote. What is there now; what has there been in the past 5 years to keep the Attorney General from going to any Southern State to enforce this statute? It is a Federal statute. The Attorney General not only has the right to enforce it, but he has the duty. If there have been any complaints about people in the South not voting, I have not heard of them. But if there have been any complaints about them not voting, then the Justice Department ought to do something about it. If the Justice Department has taken no action to enforce this statute, it shows one of two things: The Department has not had anybody objecting, or, if there were objections, it ignored them and did not do its duty by enforcing the statute. The point is there is a Federal statute now, so why pass another bill? All the Congress needs to do is to follow the Constitution. If we will follow the line of demarcation in the Constitution between the powers delegated to the Federal Government and the powers reserved to the States, we will not get into difficulties about all these different things. If a bill were introduced to repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, there would not be any question but that the Congress would not consider it because it would be unconstitutional. The qualifications of voting are reserved to the States. Why can we not look at it from that viewpoint and not try to say whether it is a good bill or a bad bill? On the right to vote bill, should there be any question whether we are going to accept this compromise? I do not think there should be any question at all, because the Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The court decision which I have before me holds that criminal contempt is a crime. Mr. President— The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). The Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I will proceed now, if there are no further questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina has the floor. Mr. THURMOND. Article III., defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield to the able Senator for a question. Mr. LANGER. Is it correct that under Federal statute 594 there can be imposed a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. The compromise right to vote bill cuts it down to a fine of $300 and 45 days in jail. If the judge determines that the defendant ought to suffer a greater penalty than that, the case has to go to a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator, I will say if this bill is passed, of course I am expecting it to be held unconstitutional as soon as it can be tested. But until that is done, they will have a choice. There could be a prosecution under the Federal statute, which is section 594: or such a person could be taken before a Federal judge, and the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to try the case. If the judge decided he was in a hurry to take a vacation trip, he could simply say, “I will try the case myself.” Then, under the provisions of the compromise measure, the judge would try the case; and the person being tried could not complain. Let me ask the Senator from North Dakota what he would do. Suppose he were to find himself in such a situation; and suppose the judge were to say to him, “Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I will not give you a jury trial. I will try you myself”—and then the judge would rear back on his haunches and would grin. What would the Senator from North Dakota do under those circumstances? There would be nothing he could do, because the judge would have a right to try him under the provisions of the compromise measure which has come to us from the House of Representatives. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Inasmuch as section 594 is on the statute books, why is not this right-to-vote bill entirely superfluous? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has put his finger on exactly what I have been discussing in the Senate for—let me see, Mr. President, how long has it been? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-one hours. Mr. THURMOND. No; Mr. President, it has been 22 hours and 10 minutes. [Laughter.] For 22 hours and 10 minutes I have been trying to emphasize that point—namely, why is this compromise necessary, when a Federal statute on this subject is already on the statute books? It provides for a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail. If the Department of Justice is interested in the persons who are alleged to have been deprived of the right to vote—regardless of whether they are whites, Negroes, or others—why does not the Department of Justice take action to enforce section 594 and thus protect the right to vote? The Department of Justice can do that under section 594. That is up to the Department of Justice. I do not know what the Department will do; that is up to the Department of Justice. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. During the last 5 years, has anyone been arrested under section 594? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota, I wish to say that I have never heard that anyone in my State has been tried under that statute. So there is no use in having the representatives of the Department of Justice come to South Carolina and say that people there are deprived of the right to vote, because if anyone representing the Department of Justice does come to South Carolina and does make such a statement, I will tell him that it is his own fault, for those in the Department of Justice have failed to do their duty; they have a law under which they can punish such persons, but they have not done so. Either no one in South Carolina is deprived of the right to vote, or else the Department of Justice has failed to do its duty. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. I get the point very clearly. Mr. THURMOND. Let me ask whether there are any more questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield the floor? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I shall proceed. I am just trying to find a section of the Constitution to which I wish to refer. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, while the Senator from South Carolina is doing that, will he yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Can the Senator from South Carolina tell the Senate how many years ago section 594 was enacted into law? Mr. THURMOND. I believe it was in 1939. Mr. LANGER. Do I correctly understand that since that time, there has been no prosecution under that provision of law? Is that true, so far as the Senator from South Carolina knows? Mr. THURMOND. I have not heard of a single prosecution in South Carolina under that statute. Mr. LANGER. Has the Senator heard of one in any other State? Mr. THURMOND. If there has been one, I have not heard of it. I would not say there has not been one in some other State, but I do not know of a case of that sort which has been tried in the Federal courts. Some have been tried in the State courts; we are enforcing our State laws. But I have not heard of a case in which anyone has been tried under this Federal statute—which carries with it a heavy penalty, namely, a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment in jail for 1 year. I have never heard of anyone who has been tried under that law. But, Mr. President, of course I am not surprised at that, because in South Carolina, everyone who wishes to register to vote and to vote, does register and does vote, if he is qualified. So I do not think it likely that there would be any cases of that sort in South Carolina. Mr. President, there have been insinuations to the effect that the Southern States are denying some people the right to vote. I think insinuations about any States should stop—whether that be Northern States, Southern States, Eastern States, or Western States. All of us are Americans. We have a great country. In all the wars the United States has ever fought, the United States has had brave soldiers from all sections of the country. It is very bad to have people in one section of the country try to snipe at people in another section of the country. That is the very thing George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address. Mr. LANGER. Yes, I am familiar with that admonition by George Washington. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, if anyone in the South has been intimidated or coerced or threatened with regard to voting—if anyone in any Southern State has been treated in that way—the district attorney in the State can take action any day he wishes to; and if the Department of Justice does not do it, the Department is failing to perform its duty with respect to such violations; or else there are no violations of that sort. So evidently there have not been any violations of that sort in the State of South Carolina, or else no one has complained about them. As a matter of fact, I am quite sure that there have not been any violations of that sort in my State, because, as I have said, anyone in South Carolina who wishes to vote, and who is qualified to vote, and who registers, can vote. Mr. President, I should like to read what George Washington said. Sometimes, Mr. President, when I see the able Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting in his seat in this Chamber—so able a judge and lawyer, and a fine soldier in World War II.; and when I see in the Chamber the distinguished senior Senator from Michigan [Mr. {{sc|Potter}}], who lost both of his legs in that war; and when I see my other fellow veterans who are distinguished Members of this body or are distinguished Members of the House of Representatives, and then when I see matters of a sectional nature brought up here, and when one group wishes to try to have enacted into law a measure aimed at punishing another section of the country, it makes my heart ache. My colleagues who are veterans did not feel that way when they were serving in the Armed Forces overseas; they did not feel that way when they were in uniform. If the Members of Congress from various sections of the United States would just accord to all the other States the same respect that they expect to have accorded to their own States I am sure that we would not be having this trouble; and then I would not have been speaking here on this subject for more than 22 hours in an effort to arouse the American people. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For 22 hours and 10 minutes. Mr. THURMOND. No, Mr. President, for 22 hours and 20 minutes. [Laughter.] I would not be trying to arouse the American people if it were not necessary. But why should the North want to pick on those of us who live in the South? Why do the people in New York want to pick on us? Why do the people in New Jersey want to pick on us? Or why do the people of any other section of the country want to pick on us? We think we are fairly good people. We think we are patriotic. The Members of Congress from the Southern States want to work together with all the other Members of Congress. Mr. President, I want to extend every courtesy to every other Member of Congress, and I want to see those who live in any particular section of the country extend to the rest of the people of the country the same courtesy that they expect to have extended to themselves. But, Mr. President, I can tell you this: This right-to-vote bill—and I say this because I know something about its history—is aimed at the South. It is aimed at the South; and it hurts me to see that done, because South Carolina is not guilty, and this bill should not be enacted. I do not believe the other Southern States are guilty. The Southern States have done their part in every way. As I have said, the people of the Southern States have fought for their country and have served in public office in every way. They have been honorable people. Yet, in order to try to win the votes of certain minority blocs, some pressure groups are willing to punish us, to put us under the heel, and to grind and grind and grind us. I am getting tired of it. (Manifestations of applause by the occupants of the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The doorkeepers must keep the galleries in order. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. COOPER. A minute ago the Senator spoke very generously of our association and friendship during World War II. I know that he did not mean to intimate that there was any intention upon the part of the Senator from Kentucky, in his vote on the civil-rights bill, to show any bias or prejudice toward his own people in the South. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that there was not, Senator. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator remember? Mr. THURMOND. I remember, and I say to the Senator from Kentucky he is one of the finest and most gracious gentlemen I have known. The Senator from Kentucky is not one of those ardent proponents of the bill who is trying to ram the bill home. I do not know how he is going to vote, but he is a good constitutional lawyer. I hope he will not vote for it. I hope he will think over the jury trial issue and not vote for it. He has not been one of those who has been baiting the South. Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Kentucky is a good friend of the Senator from South Carolina, but the Senator from Kentucky will vote for civil rights. He intends to vote for the bill this evening or at some later time. In the debate he said again and again that he believes in the juries in the South, and that the people of the South would respect the law and would follow the law. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina knows that the Senator from Kentucky said that. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure he did say that. The only thing is that if the Senator feels that the South obeys the law, I do not understand why he should want to have this bill passed. I will get on with what George Washington said. Mr. President, George Washington, in his Farewell Address, used his strongest language against those who would divide our country; he urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern—Atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations: they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} That was George Washington speaking. George Washington wanted to see the people from the North to the South, and to the East and the West, bound together with a fraternal feeling. He wanted a fraternal attitude manifested. Why should we not manifest a fraternal attitude on these matters? Why should we not try to help another section, and not sponsor legislation which is aimed at any particular section, merely to try to get votes to win an election? I have said, and I repeat, that since every State in the United States from Alabama to Wyoming has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and since the Federal Government has a statute on its books to protect the right to vote, there is no need for this bill. I say, and I repeat, that I think the bill is purely political, and I think that both parties have been trying to grab the ball to see who could get the spotlight for the elections coming up in 1958. {{smaller block|Article III, defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. We may note, for example, two further uses of the plural: First, the judicial power is to extend “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.” Second, treason against the United States is to consist “only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies.” Because the authority of the Court will be considered at length in a later chapter, it will suffice here merely to point out that nowhere in article III is the Court given jurisdiction over controversies between a State and the United States. That proposal was specifically advanced during the convention, and specifically rejected. Every section—indeed, every paragraph—of article IV touches upon the Federal nature of the Union. Full faith and credit are to be given in each State, to the acts and judicial proceedings of every other State. If this were not a Federal Union, the provision would be nonsense. Beyond this, the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. A person charged in any State with crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall be delivered upon demand to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime. Then comes the provision that Northern States were to flout over a period of 30 years: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.” Finally, we may note in article IV the provision for admitting new States into this Union (not this Nation, but this Union): “No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.” Article V had best be quoted in full. It has not been changed by so much as an apostrophe in the years since it came from Philadelphia in September of 1787. It still fixes and defines the sovereign power: Pause for a moment over this article of the Constitution. We are dealing here with Taylor’s “will to enact” and “power to execute;” we are dealing with Marshall’s “power to make and unmake.” It was plainly envisioned by the framers that their work would require amendment through the years. “That useful alterations will be suggested by experience, could not but be foreseen,” Madison was to write. There was a double aim in the provision, even a triple aim. {{SIC|Aricle|Article}} V, Madison tells us, was intended, first, to guard equally against too-easy amendment on the one hand and too-difficult amendment on the other. It was drafted, secondly, to permit amendments to originate both with the Federal and with the State Governments. But it was intended, finally, to leave the ultimate decision upon changing the Constitution to the sovereign States themselves—not to the people as a mass, nor even to a bare majority of the States as such. It was recognized that the great, overriding principle of protection for minorities should apply here as bindingly as it was to apply elsewhere. If one-fourth of the States plus one should object to a change in the Constitution—even if that change were desired by three-fourths minus one (and even if this larger fraction should include the great bulk of the total population)—the change could not be engrafted to the Constitution. Article VI is brief. Its first provision covers debts and engagements entered into under the Articles of Confederation and continues these obligations under the proposed new Constitution; its third provision prohibits any religious test as a qualification for public office and requires an oath to support the Constitution of all public officers, both State and Federal. It is the second provision that merits brief attention in this summary review: “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” Let us go back: What is to be supreme? Three things. First, “this Constitution.” Secondly, “laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof.” Third, treaties made “under the authority of the United States.” That is all. Not Executive orders of the President. Not even judgments of the Supreme Court. The Constitution, the laws made in pursuance thereof, the treaties. In passing, note the phrase “law of the land.” It stems originally from the Magna Carta; but as it appears in the Constitution, “law of the land” was merely a substitution, proposed by the committee on style, for “law of the several States and their citizens and inhabitants.” The object was to extend this new supreme law to Territories as well as to the States. And this phrase, “law of the land,” is as close as the Constitution ever comes to suggesting a “nation.” Actually the word “nation” or the word “national” never appears in the Constitution. The aim, we will recall, was to form “a more perfect Union.” Representatives and taxes were to be apportioned among the several States which may be included “within this Union.” The militia may be called forth to execute “the laws of the Union.” The President is to provide Congress with information on the “state of the Union.” New States are to be admitted “into this Union.” The guaranty of a republican form of government goes “to every State in this Union.” But never, at any point, are the United States described, in the Constitution, as comprising a “nation.” This is not to contend, of course, that ours is not a Nation, or that the Federal Government does not operate nationally. It is only to suggest that the deliberate terms of the Constitution speak for themselves, and should be heeded: Our country is, first and foremost, originally and still, a Union of States. And when we speak of the law of the land, it should be kept steadily in mind that the land is a Federal Union, in which each of the States stands coequal with every other State. The Constitution is supreme not only in its authority over each State, but also in its protection over each State. And each State, each respective State, is entitled to rely upon the Constitution as embodying supreme law that all other States must adhere to with equal fidelity, like it or not, until the Constitution be changed by the States themselves. Note, too, the careful qualification that defines laws enacted by the Congress. Just any laws of the United States are not enough: Laws, to be binding, must be laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Any attempted statutes that invade the residuary authority of the States, Hamilton tells us, “will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” And he adds, at another point, that: “There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.” Surely, it may be urged that precisely the same standard must be applied to other branches of the Federal Government—the executive and judicial no less than the legislative. By extension, thus, judgments of the Court, to be supreme law of the land, must be made pursuant to the Constitution. A judgment of the Court, so violative of the clear terms and understandings of the Constitution as to invade the residuary authority of the States, must also be regarded as a usurpation, and should deserve to be treated as such. The argument will be pursued at greater length hereafter. Finally, this brief examination of the Constitution from the standpoint of the States may be concluded with a second look at article VII. It should be read carefully; for this is the clause that binds: “The ratification of the conventions of 9 States”—not, again, the approval of a majority of the people in a popular referendum, but the ratification of 9 States—“shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same.” Thus, on September 17, the Convention concluded its work. George Washington, as President of the Convention, transmitted the document to the Congress. A prophetic sentence appeared in his letter, as he mentioned the compromises necessary for the surrender of sovereign powers: “It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved.” The States had done the best they could through their delegates. Eager to consolidate their Union, each State had been disposed “to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected.” They launched the ship. “Well, Doctor,” said the lady to Mr. Franklin, “what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”}} It is pretty hard to keep when bills are introduced to violate the Constitution by chipping off and whittling away the rights of the States in an effort, it seems, to reduce them to colonial status. Continuing the quotation from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|6. THE PROPHETIC MR. HENRY}}}} For the States’ understanding of what the Constitution was to mean to them, as States, we can look not only to the internal evidence of the Constitution itself, but to the debates in the ratifying conventions and to some of the contemporary criticism, notably in the Federalist papers. We can look, also, to some of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court from time to time, and to the writings of scholars of our own day. The evidence is overwhelming. By written compact, solemnly ratified, the States agreed mutually to delegate certain of their sovereign powers to a Federal Government. They enumerated these powers. All other powers they reserved to themselves, and these reserved powers did not need to be enumerated: the reserved powers constituted an inherent powers of sovereign States not specifically abridged. So plain was this understanding that the feeling most frequently encountered, in reading comments of the period, is one of incredulity that anyone should doubt it. “The proposed constitution,” said Hamilton, “so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power.” So, too, said Madison: “It is to be remembered that the General Government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its {{SIC|jursidiction|jurisdiction}} is limited to certain enumerated objects which concern all the members of the Republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments, which can extend their care to all other objects which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity.” Neither Hamilton nor Madison could quite imagine the Federal Government ever seriously encroaching upon the States. “Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require,” said Hamilton, “I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons intrusted with the administration of the General Government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository.” Then he added, with a singular absence of prophecy: “The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things, in short, which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected. * * * “It will always be far more easy for the State governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the National Government to encroach upon the State authorities.”}} That is where he was wrong. In other words, Hamilton had no idea that the Federal Government would ever attempt to encroach on the rights of the states. In his day it looked to him as if it would be easier for the States to encroach on the rights of the Federal Government than for the Federal Government to encroach on the rights of the States. But in recent years do-gooders, welfare-staters, left-wingers, and other pressure groups are trying to transform this Government. They are trying to make of it a national government. It is not a national government; it is a Federal Government. The States came together in a federation and formed this Government. That is the conception which I hope we can get over to the people of the Nation, that our Government is not a national government; it is a Federal Government made by the States coming together and forming a federation and signing the compact which became the Constitution. Therefore we have a Federal Government, not a national government. I hope we shall never have a national government. We must stop the Federal usurpation that is now going on and has been going on for some years. {{smaller block|Madison, also, imagined that the Federal Government would “be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments.” For his part, Hamilton thought it more probable that the States would encroach upon the Federal Government, and he imagined that in such contests the State governments, because they “will commonly possess most influence” over the people, would dominate Federal agencies “to the disadvantage of the Union.” However, all such conjectures Hamilton viewed as “extremely vague and fallible.” He preferred to assume that the people “will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium between the general and the State governments.” In No. 45, Madison treated at considerable length the widespread apprehension that the States would be obliterated. Some of his comments have been outdated; what he has to say about the election of Senators, for example, unhappily has been superseded by the misfortune of the 17th amendment. Some of his other observations, dealing with functions of what was to become the Bureau of Internal Revenue, may occasion some wary reflection on the lengths by which even a Madison could miss his guess. But as contemporary evidence of the role guaranteed to the States, No. 45 justifies quotation at some length: “The State governments will have the advantage of the Federal Government, whet her we compare them in respect to the immediate dependence of the one on the other; to the weight of personal influence which each side will possess; to the powers respectively vested in them to the predilection and probable support of the people; to the disposition and faculty of resisting and frustrating the measures of each other. “The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the Federal Government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. Even the House of Representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the State legislatures. Thus, each of the principal branches of the Federal Government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing toward them. On the other side, the component parts of the State governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the Federal Government, and very little, if at all, to the local influence of its members. “The number of individuals employed under the Constitution of the United States will be much smaller than the number employed under the particular States. There will consequently be less of personal influence on the side or the former than of the latter. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments of 13 and more States, the justices of peace, officers of militia, ministerial officers of justice, with all the county, corporation, and town officers, for 3 millions and more of people, intermixed, and having particular acquaintance with every class and circle of people, must exceed, beyond all proportion, both in number and influence, those of every description who will be employed in the administration of the Federal system. Compare the members of the three great departments of the 13 States, excluding from the judiciary department the justices of peace, with the members of the corresponding departments of the single government of the Union; compare the militia officers of 3 millions of people with the military and marine officers of any establishment which is within the compass of probability, or, I may add, of possibility, and in this view alone, we may pronounce the advantage of the States to be decisive. “If the Federal Government is to have collectors of revenue, the State governments will have theirs also. And as those of the former will be principally on the seacoast, and not very numerous, whilst those of the latter will be spread over the face of the country, and will be very numerous, the advantage in this view also lies on the same side. It is true, that the confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union·, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. * * * “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. “The operations of the Federal Government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the Federal Government. The more adequate, indeed, the Federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States. “If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy and candor, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of new powers to the union, than in the invigoration of its original powers. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the Articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them.” Even John Marshall, who did more than any man in our history to aggrandize the Federal Government and to weaken the States, never doubted the basic structure of divided powers. Consider, briefly, his comment in the famed case of ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland''. The case arose when Congress established the Bank of the United States, and Maryland undertook to levy a tax upon the bank’s Baltimore branch; James McCulloch, the cashier, refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued. The legal questions were two: Did Congress have power to incorporate the bank, and secondly, did Maryland have power to tax it? Marshall answered the first one “Yes,” the second, “No.” With the bulk of his reasoning, strict constructionists and apostles of States rights will disagree: Marshall’s sophisticated mind did not boggle at stretching “necessary” to mean “convenient.” In considering the actual act of ratification by which the Union was formed, Marshall was not much impressed by the fact, which he could not escape, that the people met in State conventions. “Where else should they have assembled?” he asked. But even here, a couple of sentences merit quotation as evidence from the States greatest detractor: “It is true, [the people] assembled in their several States—and where else should they have assembled? No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.” Marshall went on in his opinion to confuse “States” and “State governments,” thus setting up a convenient strawman to batter down. No one ever had contended that the Constitution was ratified by State governments, but Marshall, with a glittering display of intellectual swordsmanship, neatly skewered the nonexistent objection. Then he went on to say: “This Government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was pending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted. But the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising, and will probably continue to arise, as long as our system shall exist.” True enough, the question of “the extent of powers” does continue to arise to this day, though the doctrines of Marshall have so pervaded public thinking that it often is forgotten that the Federal Government has any limitations whatever. But the separateness of the States and the nature of their delegated powers were clearly recognized when the Constitution was created. The prophets who foresaw the trend toward consolidation—notably Patrick Henry and George Mason—were told they were old women, seeing ghosts. Consider, if you will, the debate on ratification in Virginia. The transcript offers some absorbing reading. If the clash of a Henry and a Mason with a Pendleton and a Madison does not prompt reflection upon subsequent corruption of the Constitution, at the very least their battle must lead to regrets at the decline in the quality of today’s legislative debates. There were giants in those days. This was, to paraphrase Marshall, a Constitution they were debating. What was said of the relationship of the States and the Federal Government? Go back in time. This was a sultry summer in Richmond. At least twice the brief convention was interrupted by thunder storms so severe the delegates were forced to recess. Tempers flared sharply. At one point Edmund Randolph, infuriated with Patrick Henry, was prepared to let their friendship “fall like Lucifer, never to rise again.” They began on Monday, June 2; they adjourned ''sine die'' on Friday, June 27. Into those 4 weeks, the Virginians of 1788 packed a world of profound reflection upon the meaning and intention of the Constitution. Edmund Pendleton served as president of the Virginia convention. He was a remarkable man: lawyer, scholar, statesman, thinker. In advocating ratification, Pendleton was joined by James Madison, John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, and Light Horse Harry Lee. They carried the day against Patrick Henry and George Mason, as leading opponents of the proposition. The convention scarcely had begun before Henry established the broad spread of argument. He did not propose to abide by any parliamentary decision to debate one clause at a time. Before the convention in Philadelphia the previous summer, said Henry, a general peace and a universal tranquillity had prevailed. Now he was “extremely uneasy at the proposed change of government.” He swept the room with a cold eye: “Be extremely cautious, watchful, jealous of your liberty. Instead of securing your rights, you may lose them forever.” George Mason came to his side. He charged that the new Constitution would create “a national government, and no longer a confederation.” He especially denounced the authority proposed in the general government to levy direct taxes. This power, being at the discretion of Congress and unconfined, “and without any kind of control, must carry everything before it.” “The idea of a consolidated government,” he said, “is totally subversive of every principle which has hitherto governed us. This power is calculated to annihilate totally the State governments. * * * These two concurrent powers cannot exist long together; the one will destroy the other; the general government, being paramount to and in every respect more powerful than the State governments, the latter must give way to the former.” Then Mason voiced the argument that is as applicable in the mid-20th century as it was toward the end of the 18th: “Is it to be supposed that one national government will suit so extensive a country, embracing so many climates, and containing inhabitants so very different in manners, habits, and customs? It is ascertained, by history, that there never was a government over a very extensive country without destroying the liberties of the people. * * * Popular governments can only exist in small territories.” On Thursday, June 5, Pendleton undertook to respond to Henry and to Mason. Was the proposed government, he inquired, truly a consolidated government? Of course not. “If this be such a government, I will confess, with my worthy friend, that it is inadmissible. * * *” The proposed Federal Government, he said, “extends to the general purposes of the Union. It does not intermeddle with the local, particular affairs of the States. * * * It is the interest of the Federal to preserve the State governments; upon the latter the existence of the former depends. * * * I wonder how any gentleman, reflecting on the subject, could have conceived an idea of the possibility of the latter.” Henry conceived it. He conceived it very clearly. The proposed Constitution, he felt, was “extremely pernicious, impolitic and dangerous.” He saw no jeopardy to the people in the Articles of Confederation; he saw great jeopardy in this new Constitution. And he had this to say: “We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation. We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: By that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, ts about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism.” And note this prophetic observation: “There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?” What indeed? What have these ideal checks and balances availed the States in the 20th century? Henry saw the empty prospect: “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints toward monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American?” It was monarchy, ''per se'', that Henry foresaw. And it was despotism at the hands of a general government that he feared. “What are your checks in this Government?” he kept asking. No one ever answered him accurately, though half a dozen members of the Convention undertook to refute Henry and to allay his apprehensions. Randolph, replying to the objection that the country soon would be too large for effective government from the capital, commented that “no extent on earth seems to me too great,” but he added, “provided the laws be wisely made and executed.” It has proved to be a large qualification. Madison also responded to Henry’s general objection that the liberty of the people was in danger: “Since the general civilization of mankind,” he said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.” Follow closely what Madison had to say next. He is expounding the relationship of the State and Federal Governments as he, above all men, understood it: “Give me leave to say something of the nature of the Government. * * * There are a number of opinions; but the principal question is, whether it be a federal or consolidated government. In order to judge properly of the question before us, we must consider it minutely in its principal parts. I conceive myself that it is of a mixed nature; it is in a manner unprecedented; we cannot find one express example in the experience of the world. It stands by itself. In some respects it is a government of a federal nature; in others it is of a consolidated nature. * * * Who are parties to it?” Note this, especially; it was quoted earlier, but it bears repetition: “The people—but not the people as composing one great body; but the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” Francis Corbin, one of the ablest political students of his time, then joined Madison, in soothing the growing fear that the Federal Government might one day absorb the State Governments. “The powers of the General Government,” he said, “are only of a general nature, and their object is to protect, defend, and strengthen the United States; but the internal administration of government is left to the State legisiatures, who exclusively retain such powers as will give the States the advantages of small republics, without the danger commonly attendant on the weakness of such governments.” Henry, undaunted, straightened his red wig and returned to the debate. “That government is no more than a choice among evils,” he remarked, “is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages.” He could not accept the idea that this new government would be “a mighty benefit to us.” “Sir, I am made of so incredulous materials, that assertions and declarations do not satisfy me. I must be convinced, sir. I shall retain my infidelity on that subject till I see our liberties secured in a manner perfectly satisfactory to my understanding.” This exchange occurred on Friday, June 16. The following Monday, Henry renewed his assault: “A number of characters, of the greatest eminence in this country, object to this government for its consolidating tendency. This is not imaginary. It is a formidable reality. If consolidation proves to be as mischievous to this country as it has been to other countries, what will the poor inhabitants of this country do? This government will operate like an ambuscade. It will destroy the State governments, and swallow the liberties of the people, without giving previous notice.” Madison came back with fresh replies and new remonstrances. The States were safely protected, he assured the Virginia convention. And renewing the arguments he had advanced in the Federalist, “There will be an irresistible bias toward the State governments.” It was utterly improbable—almost impossible—that the Federal Government ever would encroach upon the States. “The means of influence consist in having the disposal of gifts and emoluments, and in the number of persons employed by and dependent upon a government. Will any gentleman compare the number of persons which will be employed in the General Government with the number of those which will be in the State governments? The number of dependents upon the State governments will be infinitely greater than those on the General Government. I may say, with truth, that there never was a more economical government in any age or country, nor which will require fewer hands, or give less influence.” Pendleton again gained the floor to tackle Henry’s objection. We are told, he said, “that there will be a war between the two bodies equally our representatives, and that the State government will be destroyed, and consolidated into the General Government. I stated before, that this could not be so. The two governments act in different manners, and for different purposes—the General Government in great national concerns, in which we are interested in common with other members of the Union; the State legislature in our mere local concerns. * * * Our dearest rights—life, liberty and property—as Virginians, are still in the hands of our State legislature.” Patrick Henry remained unconvinced. His opinion and Madison’s were “diametrically opposite.” The mild-mannered Madison said the States would prevail. Henry, a dramatic and eloquent speaker, feared the Federal Government would prevail. Bring forth the Federal allurements, he cried, “and compare them with the poor, contemptible things that the State legislatures can bring forth. * * * There are rich, fat, Federal emoluments. Your rich, smug, fine, fat, Federal officers—the number of collectors of taxes and excises—will outnumber anything from the States. Who can cope with the excise man and the tax men?” Henry did not imagine that the dual governments could be kept each within its proper orbit. “I assert that there is danger of interference,” he remarked, “because no line is drawn between the powers of the two governments, in many instances; and where there is a line, there is no check to prevent the one from encroaching upon the powers of the other. I therefore contend that they must interfere, and that this interference must subvert the State government as being less powerful. Unless your government have checks, it must inevitably terminate in the destruction of your privileges.” William Grayson, burly veteran of the Revolution, was another member of the Virginia convention who clearly perceived the absence of effective checks and balances. “Power ought to have such checks and limitations,” he said, “as to prevent bad men from abusing it. It ought to be granted on a supposition that men will be bad; for it may eventually be so.” Grayson was here discussing his apprehensions toward the powers vested by article III in the Supreme Court of the United States. “This Court,” he protested, “has more power than any court under heaven.” The Court’s appellate jurisdiction, especially, aroused his alarm: “What has it in view, unless to subvert the State governments?”}} Mr. President, only in the past few months this Court rendered a decision which struck down the sedition statutes in 48 States and two Territories, merely because the Federal Government had a statute on sedition. The Supreme Court held that because of that fact, the Federal Government had preempted the whole field, and struck down the State statutes on sedition. Sedition means overthrowing the Government. That is the practical effect of it. Steve Nelson, in Pennsylvania, was convicted under Pennsylvania law. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, and the Court turned him loose, on the ground that when the Federal sedition statute was enacted, that statute preempted the field. Thus it struck down all the State statutes on the subject. Forty-two States and two Territories had statutes on the subject. Judge Howard Smith, in the House, who was the author of the bill, said there was no such intention on his part when he introduced the bill. There was even a provision in the bill that the State laws should not be affected. Yet the Supreme Court struck down the sedition statutes in 42 States and two Territories. Nine men overruled the legislatures of 42 States, and would have overruled the supreme courts in 42 States if their statutes had been tested. In New York, a man named Slochower was employed by the City College of New York. The charter of the City College provides that if any schoolteacher takes refuge behind the fifth amendment, upon being asked by an official body about his Communist connections, he shall be automatically dismissed. He was questioned by an official body. He was automatically dismissed. But what happened? The Supreme Court reinstated him in his job. City College of New York cannot control its own faculty because of these nine men in Washington. Forty-eight State legislatures cannot have sedition statutes because of these nine men in Washington. Out in New Mexico a man applied for membership in the bar. A similar situation occurred in California. One of the men was admittedly a former Communist. The bar did not want him to become a member. Certainly the bar board should have discretion enough to determine whether a man had the character to be admitted. The board turned him down. In the other case the man refused to answer questions about his Communist connections. Both of those men—one a former Communist, the other tied in with the Communists—were refused licenses to practice law, one in New Mexico and the other in California. But the nine men comprising the Supreme Court ordered those boards to give the applicants their licenses. Also, in California there were 14 Communists convicted of actually organizing Communist cells. They were preaching the doctrine of communism. They were convicted in the California court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. What did that Court do? It turned five of them loose and gave the other nine a new trial. It virtually held, in fact, that one can preach communism all he wants to. So long as the organizing does not begin until a future day, it will be all right. In other words, there would have to be action to put it into effect immediately under the holding of the Court. How are we going to protect this Government? How is the FBI going to protect it? How are the people of California going to protect it when they catch people who are actually organizing Communist cells and who are advocating communism and preaching communism, and then the Supreme Court turns them loose, laying down a dangerous doctrine—and it is a dangerous doctrine to which I just referred. Then there is the Watkins case, Mr. President, which has hampered investigations by the Congress. The Supreme Court handed down a decision after Watkins had been convicted of contempt and turned him loose. The Court, in effect, held that a member of the counsel or someone who wanted to ask questions would have to explain the questions to the witness. A smart witness would never admit he understood or comprehended what was meant. In the city of Washington, Mr. President, one of the most dangerous decisions, I think, that has ever been handed down involved the man Mallory, who raped a white woman. He was caught the next day. He was caught about 2 o’clock. Along about 8 or 9 o’clock he was given a lie-detector test, and he confessed the crime and admitted that he raped the white woman. The officers could not get hold of the United States Commissioner that night, and had to wait until the next morning, about 9 o’clock. They held the admitted criminal from about 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, and in the meantime he gave a confession to the police in Washington. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. He had confessed his crime. But the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. What did those nine men do with it? They reversed the decision and said the police had held the man too long. What is going to happen in this Nation if police officers cannot hold criminals from 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, especially when those criminals have confessed to their crimes? Heretofore in judicial administration there has been no particular time fixed. A person could be held a reasonable time before arraignment. Under this decision the man would have to confess at just about the time he was arrested, because the Supreme Court held that after he is arrested he is under coercion; and because he was held that short time the Supreme Court reversed the case, and the district attorney said there would not be any use to try it again; that the evidence depended on the confession. As a result of that case, the Chief of Police in Washington said it would be very difficult to apprehend and detect criminals and arrest them hereafter and be able to make the evidence stand up in court. He called it a terrible handicap to law enforcement in such cases. Mr. President, there are other decisions the Supreme Court has handed down about which I should like to tell the Senate. The Court seems to get its greatest delight out of turning loose Communists. The record is disgraceful. The FBI, the law-enforcement agencies, police officers chase down Communists and narcotic people—and they are hard to catch. Then the Supreme Court reverses decisions and turns them loose and they walk the streets, as did the confessed rapist who was sentenced on his own confession. It is a disgrace to this Nation. Mr. President, I still think this compromise bill is unconstitutional, but with the present Supreme Court no one can predict what they will do about it. {{smaller block|It was John Marshall, who 15 years later would do so much to justify Mason’s apprehensions, who undertook to allay his fears now. The Federal Government, he insisted, certainly would not have the power “to make laws on every subject.” Could Members of the Congress make laws affecting the transfer of property, or contracts, or claims, between citizens of the same State? “Can they go beyond the delegated powers? If they were to make a law not warranted by any of the powers enumerated, it would be considered by the judges as an infringement of the Constitution which they are to guard. They would not consider such a law as coming under their jurisdiction. They would declare it void.” Marshall saw no danger to the States from decrees of the Supreme Court: “I hope that no gentleman will think that a State will be called at the bar of the Federal court. * * * It is not rational to suppose that the sovereign power should be dragged before a court.” Madison, Monroe, and others joined Marshall in defending the third article. Their debate was long and detailed. Much of it was concerned with questions of pleading and practice. But after several days, they went on to other aspects of the Constitution: The prospect of judicial despotism was recognized by the few, and denied by the many. {{c|{{asc|7. THE STATES RATIFY}}}} In the end, Virginia ratified. It was a close vote. A motion to postpone ratification until amendments, in the nature of a bill of rights, could be considered by “the other States in the American confederacy,” failed by 88 to 80. Then the main question was put, and this was what Virginia agreed to. It merits careful reading: “We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, * * * having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will; that, therefore, no right, of any denomination, can be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by the Congress, by the Senate or House of Representatives, acting in any capacity, by the President, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances in which power is given by the Constitution for those purposes; and that, among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.” The vote on that main question was 89 to 79, but even that narrow margin of approval was predicated upon a gentlemen’s agreement that the Virginia convention would recommend a number of amendments, in the form of a Bill of Rights, to be presented to the first Congress. And the first of these recommended amendments reads: “That each State in the Union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.” By the time Virginia completed ratification, of course her decision no longer carried compelling importance. The Virginia convention had opened on June 2, not quite 2 weeks after South Carolina, on May 23, had become the eighth State to ratify. But while the Virginians were debating the issue, New Hampshire, on June 21, had become No. 9: The new union had been formed, and the Constitution had become binding upon the nine States “ratifying the same.” It has ever been Virginia’s fate to make the right decisions, but to put off making them as long as possible. In this consideration of State and Federal relationships, there is something to be learned from the other resolutions of ratification. The easy ones came first: Delaware came first, on December 7, 1787, “fully, freely, and entirely” approving and assenting to the Constitution; and then, in quick succession, Pennsylvania on December 12, after a bitter fight; New Jersey on December 18, and Georgia—Georgians had not even read the Constitution—on January 2, 1788. Connecticut followed a week later, with a comfortable vote of 128 to 40. Then a month’s hiatus set in. Massachusetts did not become No. 6 until February 7, and her approval of this “explicit and solemn compact” was not unqualified: “It is the opinion of this convention that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this commonwealth, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government.” It will come as no surprise that the very first amendment recommended by Massachusetts was “that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States to be by them exercised.” Two months later, on April 28, Maryland ratified. Then there was another lapse of nearly a month before South Carolina, on May 23, became No. 8; South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.” Then South Carolina added: “This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.” New Hampshire, in voting its approval on June 21, closely paralleled the action of Massachusetts, but New Hampshire’s declaration as to reserved powers was even more explicit. The people of New Hampshire wanted it understood that all powers not “expressly and particularly delegated” were reserved.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield. Mr. LANGER. Was the action of the South Carolina convention unanimous? [Laughter.] Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall, from reading the history of that matter, whether it was unanimous or not. The action of the South Carolina convention was not unanimous when it acted on the question of adopting the resolution of ratification for the admission of South Carolina to the Union. South Carolina was the eighth State to be admitted to the Union. New Hampshire was the ninth. New Hampshire’s action resulted in the formation of the Union; ratification by nine States was required in order to form the Union. After that, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution and became members of the Union. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I am not sure whether the action by the South Carolina convention was unanimous or not. Mr. LANGER. I know the Senator from South Carolina, who has been a very distinguished governor of his State, is very well informed in regard to such matters. Mr. THURMOND. As stated in the book, The Sovereign States— {{smaller block|South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.”}} Then South Carolina added: {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} I construe that declaration to be part of the resolution of ratification, which was not adopted unanimously. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have been glad, Mr. President, to have the Senator from North Dakota ask these questions. Mr. President, a few years ago, when I was a young State senator, I made a commencement address in another county, about 40 miles from my home. The commencement was held in a long school building in which the acoustics were very bad. People in the rear could not hear, and looked as if they were going to sleep—and maybe they were. So I raised my voice, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that I am speaking for the future citizens of South Carolina.” By raising my voice, I woke up the people in the rear of the room; and one fellow rose up, shook his head, and said, “Well, brother, if you speak much longer, they will soon be here, too.” [Laughter.] Mr. President, I feel so good that I believe I could speak quite a long time. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I felt it my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort to emphasize the dangers of this bill. I began speaking at 8:50 last night. It is now 5 minutes after 9. I shall conclude my remarks in a very few minutes. Mr. President, in closing, I desire to remind the Senate that every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote; and the Federal Government has a statute which protects the right to vote. In my opinion, Mr. President, this bill is unconstitutional, for the reasons I have stated during this debate. This so-called compromise, which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives, permits a Federal judge to decide whether he will try one who is charged with criminal contempt, or whether he will permit him to be tried by a jury. The bill further provides a Federal judge with the discretionary power—if he does not try the person without a jury—to decide what punishment he will impose. If he imposes a fine greater than $300 or imprisonment for more than 45 days, the defendant can then demand a jury trial. That process could result in two trials in the case of a defendant charged with criminal contempt. I believe that would be unconstitutional. Under our system of jurisprudence, a man can never be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense. Furthermore, if a judge should find such a person guilty, as a result of the first trial, we can realize what effect that would have on the jury which would be used in the second trial. Mr. President, I should like to remind the Senate of the decision I have cited today, which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That decision says criminal contempt is a crime. The Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The Constitution makes no exceptions. The pending bill, which has come to the Senate from the House of Representatives, has now been amended in such a way that it could not conform to the Constitution. Mr. President, in spite of the great amount of debate and discussion which previously have taken place on the subject of House bill 6127, I felt that this bill was of such importance to the citizens of the United States that it was my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort again to emphasize the dangers of the bill. I have spoken several times on it before. Mr. President, I wish to say that my action was taken entirely on my own volition. I believe that every Senator must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in connection with such matters. I do not believe that the action of any other Senator should be judged according to the action I have taken. Mr. President, if I have helped to bring home to the American people, the citizens of this Nation, the heartfelt conviction which I hold, namely, that this bill is unwise, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, then I shall have done what I believe to be my duty. I should like to believe that some have been convinced by my arguments, and that my arguments have been accepted on the basis on which I intended them to be accepted—as arguments against what I am convinced is bad proposed legislation, proposed legislation which never should have been introduced, and which never should be approved by the Senate. Mr. President, I urge every Member of this body to consider this bill most carefully. I hope the Senate will see fit to kill it. I expect to vote against the bill. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to the officials of the Senate, to those who have come in to listen to this debate, to the various Senators who have listened to this debate from time to time; to the clerks and the attachés, and to all who did everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible during the 24 hours and 22 minutes I have spoken. Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for these courtesies, and again I want to thank the Presiding Officer and the others for their courtesies extended to me, and with this I now give up the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. SMATHERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the rollcall be rescinded.

In connection with the next speaker, we had estimated that we would reach him about 9 o’clock. We are running a little ahead of schedule. Therefore, there are no speakers available at this time. We do not desire to have a vote on the bill until every Senator has had an opportunity to express himself, and we do not wish to take advantage of any Senator, or inconvenience any Senator more than is necessary.

Mr. President, I rise to speak against the so-called voting-right bill H. R. 6127, which bill was passed by the House of Representatives. It came to the Senate without being referred to a committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar, which is something unusual and out of ordinary procedure. The bill was then amended by the Senate and returned to the House, after which time the House amended it again by adopting what was called a compromise. The compromise as well as the bill is entirely unreasonable, and I hope that the Senate will not pass the bill. There are mainly three reasons why I feel the bill should not be passed. The first is that it is unnecessary. {{c|{{asc|STATE LEGISLATION PROTECTING THE VOTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENS}}}} Every State has enacted some legislation making it unlawful to intimidate a voter or to hinder him in the exercising of his voting rights. Penalties have been provided for such violations. I now expect to take up the voting laws in each of the 48 States and show that each of the States affords adequate protection to the voting right. The first is Alabama. Alabama: Unless otherwise designated, references are to the code, 1940, title 17: {{smaller block|Intimidating or hindering voter: It Is a corrupt practice for any person on election day to intimidate an elector or an election officer, or to obstruct, hinder, or prevent or to attempt to obstruct, hinder, or prevent the forming of lines of the voters awaiting their turn to enter the election booths (sec. 285).

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Clark}} in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Chair cannot hear the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have read the election laws of every State in the Union, from Alabama to Wyoming, showing that the States now have, on their statute books and in their constitutions, provisions to protect the right to vote. The accuracy of the statutes which I have just recited is confirmed by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress. No one can say that any State, from Alabama through Wyoming, does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. The bill before the Senate is called a right-to-vote bill. Why is it called that? Every State has statutes to protect the right to vote. The sovereign States are protecting their citizens in the right to vote. Yet there is a big cry and a big hue about a voting law. As a matter of fact, the only thing that instigated this bill was the desire of both parties, the Democratic and the Republican, to play to minority votes. That is the purpose of the bill. It is purely political. Why do we need a Federal law when every State has a statute to protect the right to vote? And who is in a better position to protect the right to vote than the officials of the States? Suppose the voting laws of all the States were abrogated and violated. Does the Federal Government have a police system which would enable it to send officials into every State to police the election laws of every State? If so, it would change our entire conception of the Government of this Nation. The Constitution of the United States was written in 1789, in Philadelphia. It was ratified by nine Colonies which made them States and created the Union; 2 years later the Bill of Rights was adopted; and in the 10th amendment, which is a part of the Bill of Rights, it is provided that all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States. There is nothing in the Constitution that delegates those powers to the Federal Government. Therefore, those rights are reserved to the States, and it is unlawful and unconstitutional for Congress to attempt to pass a law that will set up an administration which will attempt to bring about a policing of all the elections in all the 48 States of this Nation. Some persons say, “Well, the States won’t enforce the voting laws. We have got to have a Federal law. Some States deny the vote to citizens.” I question that. Has there been a single instance brought before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United States and proof presented that anyone has been denied the vote? From my understanding, and from the minority report which was submitted by some members of the Judiciary Committee, that has not been the case. So why does the Federal Government want to enter a field into which it has no constitutional authority to enter? As a matter of fact, the Federal Government already has a statute, I say to those who say the States are not protecting the right to vote. I am wondering if the Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives have overlooked the Federal statute. I shall read that statute, so that Senators can know that we now have a Federal statute to protect the right to vote. I shall read several provisions. The last one is the most applicable, and one on which I shall comment a little more, but I want to start with chapter 29 of title 18 of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. That is the United States Code, Criminal Code, and Criminal Procedure. Chapter 29 is entitled “Elections and Political Activities.” Section 591 reads: {{smaller block|Definitions: When used in sections 597, 599, 602, 609, and 610 of this title— The term “election” includes a general or special election, but does not include a primary election or convention of a political party.}} But under a decision of the Supreme Court, in a case which went up from my own State of South Carolina, it was held that the primary election was a part of the election machinery; and the decision was rendered on that subject. {{smaller block|The term “candidate” means an individual whose name is presented for election as Senator or Representative in, or Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress of the United States, whether or not such individual is elected; The term “political committee” includes any committee, association, or organization which accepts contributions or makes expenditures for the purpose of influencing or attempting to influence the election of candidates or presidential and vice presidential electors (1) in two or more States, or (2) whether or not in more than one State if such committee, association, or organization (other than a duly organized State or local committee of a political party) is a branch or subsidiary of a national committee, association, or organization; The term “contribution” includes a gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make a contribution, whether or not legally enforceable; The term “expenditure” includes a payment, distribution, loan, advance, deposit, or gift of money, or anything of value, and includes a contract, promise, or agreement to make an expenditure, whether or not legally enforceable; The term “person” or the term “whoever” includes an individual, partnership, committee, association, corporation, and any other organization or group of persons; The term “State” includes Territory and possession of the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719; May 24, 1949, ch. 139, sec. 9, 63 Stat. 90.) {{sc|Sec.}} 592. Troops at polls. Whoever, being an officer of the Army or Navy, or other person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, orders, brings, keeps, or has under his authority or control any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both; and be disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States. This section shall not prevent any officer or member of the Armed Forces of the United States from exercising the right of suffrage in any election district to which he may belong, if otherwise qualified according to the laws of the State in which he offers to vote. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.) {{sc|Sec.}} 593. Interference by Armed Forces. Whoever, being an officer or member of the Armed Forces of the United States, prescribes or fixes or attempts to prescribe or fix, whether by proclamation, order, or otherwise, the qualifications of voters at any election in any State; or Whoever, being such officer or member, prevents, or attempts to prevent, by force, threat, intimidation, advice, or otherwise any qualified voter of any State from fully exercising the right of suffrage at any general or special election; or {{smaller block|Whoever, being such officer or member, orders or compels or attempts to compel any election officer in any State to receive a vote from a person not legally qualified to vote; or Whoever, being such officer or member, imposes, or attempts to impose, any regulations for conducting any general or special election in a State, different from those prescribed by law; or Whoever, being such officer or member, interferes in any manner with an election officer’s discharge of his duties— Shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both; and disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States. This section shall not prevent any officer or member of the Armed Forces from exercising the right of suffrage in any district to which he may belong, if otherwise qualified according to the laws of the State of such district. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 719.)}} I shall now comment on section 594, which is entitled “Intimidation of Voters.” I cannot help but believe that Members of Congress in some way must have overlooked this statute, if they believe a Federal statute is essential on this subject, which I do not. This is the way the section reads: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 594. Intimidation of voters. Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} Mr. President, I do not think this statute is constitutional, in section 594, because I think the question is a matter reserved to the States. Since evidently there were people who thought the Federal Government did need to enter this field and who must have felt that it would not be unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enter it, this section was adopted. This section provides, as I have just read, for the punishment of anyone who attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. What is the purpose of the bill now under consideration, H. R. 6127? It is called the right-to-vote bill. The Federal statute here, in section 594 of title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, is just as plain on the subject as it can be. There is the Federal statute on the question of voting. I do not like it, because I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field, but we have the statute, in section 594. If there has been any violation of voting rights in this country, if there has been a single case of any person who claims that he has been intimidated or threatened or coerced to vote, the Federal Government has the power, under that statute, to punish anyone if he is convicted for such offense. Either this statute has not been enforced, if there have been violations, or else there have been no violations. So when the Federal Government asks that another voting law be passed, such as House bill 6127, it is admitting 1 of 2 things: Either there have been no violations of the rights of people to vote, or the Justice Department is not enforcing the law on this subject. I do not see what good it would do to enact another statute. What good would another statute do, if we have a statute already on the books? I have heard of no cases brought under this statute. There must not have been any violations. If there have been violations, the Federal Government has failed to prosecute violators, which it could do under this law. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 595.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 724; Aug. 25, 1950, ch. 784, sec. 2, 64 Stat. 475.)}} Mr. President, I have read those Federal statutes to show that we have in title 18, chapter 29, provision for elections and political activities, and the specific section to which I referred and attempted to emphasize, section 594, provides especially for the punishment of anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces any other person for interfering with his right to vote or to vote as he may choose. That is in the Federal statutes. Again I ask, Why does the Congress need to pass another law when we have a law, a law with teeth in it, a law that provides a punishment of as much as $1,000 or imprisonment for as long as one year, or both? In other words, under this statute, the Federal Government, through the Justice Department, can prosecute any person who intimidates, threatens, or coerces another person for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. If we have that kind of law on the books now, why do we need another law? As I stated a few moments ago, I do not think the Federal Government has jurisdiction in this field. But they have entered this field, and laws on the subject have been enacted. Section 594 gives the Federal Government all the authority it needs to protect the right to vote in any State of this Nation. Section 594 makes provision for specific punishment if anyone violates the section and attempts to deny the right to vote, or threatens, intimidates, or coerces one in his right to vote and to vote as he chooses. So with every State in the Nation having laws on the subject to protect the right to vote, and with the Federal Government having laws on this subject to protect the right to vote, why do we need to pass another bill, another bill which is unconstitutional, another bill which violates the Constitution of the United States? I will come to that later on in my address. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. I am going to take up after a while a decision which shows that criminal contempt is a crime, and if criminal contempt is a crime, then it falls within the category of the provision of the Constitution of the United States which says that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It does not specify by degree. If he is entitled to a jury trial, he is entitled to it. The Senate passed a bill with an amendment providing for jury trial. The bill went back to the House, the House amended it, and added a provision that the judge in his discretion could try the case if the punishment was not over 45 days or a fine of $300. That is not what the Constitution says. The Constitution does not provide that a man is entitled to a jury trial under certain conditions, if the House had fixed the fine at $1 instead of $300 and denied a man the right of a trial by jury, in my opinion it still would have been unconstitutional. I shall develop that more as my address goes on. Mr. President, I shall now take up specific points of the proposed compromise on the jury trial provisions of H. R. 6127, so as to point out the lack of constitutionality of the provisions in connection with contempt of court proceedings. A so-called compromise has been reached among advocates of civil-rights legislation—H. R. 6127—whereby a jury trial would be given in certain criminal contempts of Federal courts. The purpose of this speech is to point out the objectionable features of the proposed compromise and to show conclusively that it is unconstitutional. The proposed jury-trial amendment, being part V of H. R. 6127, reads as follows: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|PART V—TO PROVIDE TRIAL BY JURY FOR PROCEEDINGS TO PUNISH CRIMINAL CONTEMPTS OF COURT ARISING OUT OF CIVIL-RIGHTS CASES AND TO AMEND THE JUDICIAL CODE RELATING TO FEDERAL JURY QUALIFICATIONS}}}} {{sc|Sec.}} 151. In all cases of criminal contempt arising under the provisions of this act, the accused, upon conviction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment or both: ''Provided, however'', That in case the accused is a natural person the fine to be paid shall not exceed the sum of $1,000, nor shall imprisonment exceed the term of 6 months: ''Provided further'', That in any such proceeding for criminal contempt, at the discretion of the judge, the accused may be tried with or without a jury: ''Provided further, however'', That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of the $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury, which shall conform as near as may be to the practice in other criminal cases. This section shall not apply to contempts committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice nor to the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders, or process of the court. Nor shall anything herein or in any other provision of law be construed to deprive courts of their power, by civil contempt proceedings, without a jury, to secure compliance with or to prevent obstruction of, as distinguished from punishment for violations of, any lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of the court in accordance with the prevailing usages of law and equity, including the power of detention. {{sc|Sec.}} 152. Section 1861, title 28, of the United States Code is hereby amended to read as follows: “1861. Qualifications of Federal jurors. “Any citizen of the United States who has attained the age of 21 years and who has resided for a period of 1 year within the judicial district, is competent to serve as a grand or petit juror unless: “(1) He has been convicted in a State or Federal court of record of a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year and his civil rights have not been restored by pardon or amnesty. “(2) He is unable to read, write, speak, and understand the English language. “(3) He is incapable, by reason of mental or physical infirmities, to render efficient jury service.”}} Mr. President, those are the provisions of the so-called compromise. I wish to have all other Members of the Senate and all other citizens of these United States know just what the compromise provides. First, Mr. President, this amendment is clearly unconstitutional because of vagueness. It is an established principle of constitutional law that crimes must be clearly defined. If this amendment were enacted, persons charged with contempt would be deprived of their liberty and property without due process of law, in violation of the 14th amendment to the Federal Constitution. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under a statute by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. This point is clearly brought out in Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, in the second edition, third volume, at page 1727. Here is what this great authority on the Constitution has to say on this point: {{smaller block|1142. Crimes must be clearly defined. Due process of law requires that one shall not be held criminally responsible under statutes by which offenses are so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable one to determine whether or not he is committing them. “A statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application violates the first essential of due process of law.” ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' (269 U. S. 385).}} The first sentence of the proposed amendment—section 151—refers to criminal contempt and provides for punishment upon conviction. The first ''proviso'' of the first sentence refers to natural persons; and for such natural persons, the fine is limited to $1,000 or—in the alternative—imprisonment is limited to 6 months. This first ''proviso'' is obviously drafted to bring the offense within the present definition of “misdemeanor,” as classified by the Congress in the adoption of title 18 of the United States Code on June 25, 1948. Section 1 of title 18, United States Code, classifies offenses against the United States as follows: {{smaller block|1. Offenses classified: Notwithstanding any act of Congress to the contrary: (1) Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year is a felony. (2) Any other offense is a misdemeanor. (3) Any misdemeanor, the penalty for which does not exceed imprisonment for a period of 6 months or a fine of not more than $500, or both, is a petty offense.}} The second ''proviso'' of the first sentence still refers to criminal contempt, and vests in the Federal district judge the discretion to determine whether the person accused of contempt is to be tried with or without a jury. The third proviso of the first sentence, still referring only to criminal contempts, says that where the district judge proceeds summarily—without benefit of a jury—to convict the accused and fine him or her for more than $300 or imprison him or her for more than 45 days, then the person so convicted—fined or imprisoned—may demand a trial ''de novo''. It is assumed that trial ''de novo'' contemplates a trial anew of the entire controversy, including the hearing of evidence, as though no previous action had been taken. In ''Pittsburgh S. S. Co.'' v. ''Brown'' ((1948 Ct. App. Ill.) 171 Fed. 2d. 175, 177), “trial ''de novo''” is defined as an entirely new trial, but that was a civil case. The term “trial ''de novo''” nowhere appears in criminal cases referred to in volume 42 A, Words and Phrases, 1952 edition or 1957 supplement. The second sentence of the amendment, without any reference to “criminal contempt” or without defining or differentiating between “criminal contempt” and “civil contempt,” proceeds to make the provisions of the first sentence inapplicable to those contempts “committed in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice” and likewise inapplicable to “misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court in respect to the writs, orders or process of the court.” In other words, this second sentence deals with certain “contempts” and with “misbehavior of any officers of the court” and excludes such “contempts” and “misbehavior of any officer of the court” from the provisions of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. In other words, the second sentence says that if any contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or so near thereto as to interfere directly with the administration of justice, it is not dealt with in the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. Likewise excluded from coverage by the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127—would be “the misbehavior, misconduct, or disobedience of any officer of the court” in respect to any writ, order, or process of court issued presumably under authority of the Civil Rights Act—H. R. 6127. The last sentence of the amendment—section 151—simply tries to restate the proposition now appearing in section 401 of title 18, United States Code, that a court of the United States has power to punish contempts of its authority. However, in restating that proposition, this last sentence refers to “civil contempts,” whereas section 401 refers to “contempt of its”—the court’s—“authority.” Thus we see the last sentence of the amendment, section 151, refers to “civil contempt,” as distinguished from the first sentence, which deals with “criminal contempt.” Nowhere in the amendment is any definition given of either “criminal contempt” or “civil contempt;” nor has Congress ever attempted to draw any such distinction. The sole provision attempting to draw a distinction between criminal and civil contempt is contained in rule 42 (b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in the requirement that the notice with respect to a criminal contempt shall describe it as such. The Advisory Committee on Rules, appointed by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the act of June 29, 1940—Fifty-fourth United States Statutes at Large, page 686—to assist in the preparation of rules of pleading, in their notes indicate that the requirement of notice written into rule 42 (b) was “intended to obviate the frequent confusion between criminal and civil contempt proceedings” pursuant to the suggestion made in ''McCann'' v. ''New York Stock Exchange'' ((2d Cir., 1935) 80 F. 2d 211). See Civil and Criminal Contempt in the Federal Courts, report of Los Angeles Bar Association, 17 Federal Rules Decisions 167–182—1955. The Supreme Court itself has belabored the distinction between civil and criminal contempts. For the Court’s distinction see ''Bessette'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' ((1904) 194 U.S. 324, 328). A contempt statute certainly comes within the due process of law requirements of the Constitution. To substantiate this point, I refer again to Willoughby on the Constitution of the United States, page 1727, section 1141. In this section Willoughby points out that a contempt which is not committed in open court does require due process of law for the defendant. The United States Supreme Court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Taft, held on April 13, 1925, that all the guaranties of due process of law are available to a person charged with contempt. ''Cooke'' v. ''United States'' ((1925) 267 U.S. 517.) Thus it is quite clear that the amendment—section 151—as now drafted, would subject a person to criminal prosecution for a statutory offense so indefinitely defined or described as not to enable him to determine whether or not he is committing that offense. ''Connally'' v. ''General Construction Co.'' ((1926) 269 U. S. 385); ''International Harvester Co.'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 216); ''Collins'' v. ''Kentucky'' ((1914) 234 U. S. 634). Second. This amendment is unconstitutional, in violation of the fifth amendment prohibiting double jeopardy. That provision of the amendment which permits the accused to be tried a second time by a jury for the same offense following conviction in a summary proceeding violates the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution, which declares “nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” In ''ex parte'' Grossman the Supreme Court stated that contempt is an “offense” within the meaning of the pardoning power of the President granted in article II, section 2, clause 1 of the enumerated powers of the President. Clause 1 declares the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons of offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Chief Justice Taft in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1925) 267 U. S. 87, 107) quoting ''Myers'' v. ''United States'' ((1924) 264 U. S. 95, 104–105). If contempt is an offense when it comes to the pardoning power of the President, it certainly is an offense under the fifth amendment. Thus reading the language of the amendment—section 151—''in pari materia'' with the decisions in ''ex parte'' Grossman and ''Myers'' against ''United States'', for the Congress to grant a second trial following conviction, with the same defendant, the same charges, and the same evidence, would place the defendant in double jeopardy. The proposal—section 151—even if it were not in violation of the fifth amendment, would place Congress in the position of gambling with the rights of our citizens. Suppose a judge tries a man or woman and finds the person guilty. The press reports this fact to the public and such cases are bound to stir the public interest. The person so convicted is then tried again on the same evidence. Any jury is bound to be influenced. In addition, what basis or standard of conduct is to be the determining factor as to whether the judge imposes the lesser fine or sentence and lets his verdict stand or imposes the greater fine or punishment and moves the case along to a jury trial. There would be no uniformity in the application of the proposed statute—section 151—and the entire procedure would be awkward, cumbersome, and impracticable. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', a note is made of an interruption in Mr. Thurmond’s speech, regarding the results of a special election for a Senator, upon which several pages of the ''Record'' are used to record the reading of documents and the discussion of matters relevant thereto. As this is not a constituent portion of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, it is absent from this record. However, following this notice, several other parliamentary procedures are maintained, and other matters are dealt with; the ''Record'' then replaces the remainder of Mr. Thurmond’s speech to the records of the succeeding day, beginning on p. 16383. This record begins again from this section.'' Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I now wish to take up Chief Justice Taft’s opinion on jury trials in contempt cases. Considerable has been said about what Chief Justice Taft said concerning contempt and jury trials. Chief Justice Taft was at one time President of the United States, and he was Chief Justice of the United States. He was a great man and a great American. His opinions are highly revered, but some of his opinions have been quoted out of context or when not applicable. I wish to take up at this time his opinions on jury trials in contempt cases. On June 5, 1957, at his White House press conference, President Eisenhower, in answer to a question asked by the National Negro Press Association as to how he stood on the jury-trial amendment to the so-called civil-rights bill, quoted President Taft, as being opposed to a jury trial in contempt cases. President Eisenhower stated that Mr. Taft made this statement when he was President in 1908 and there is no evidence that he ever changed his mind. In the first place the statement was not made by Mr. Taft while President. The statement was made by Mr. Taft in a political speech at Cincinnati, Ohio, on Tuesday, July 28, 1908, in acceptance of the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Taft at the time was Secretary of War. He did not become President until March 4, 1909. In this political speech Mr. Taft also said a trial by jury in contempt cases was never known in the history of the jurisprudence of England, or America, except in the constitution of Oklahoma. See Presidential Addresses and Papers, William H. Taft, 1910 ed., page 26. Also in this speech Mr. Taft said the popular impression that a judge, in punishing for contempt of his own order, may be affected by a personal feeling was unfounded. Did Mr. Taft change his mind when he became Chief Justice? He most assuredly did. He not only changed his mind on the subject of whether jury trials were had at common law in contempt cases but also changed his mind about judges having personal vindictiveness in contempt orders. While Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Taft delivered the opinion in ''ex parte'' Grossman ((1924) 267 U. S. 87) and cited eight cases at common law to show that in England a jury trial was had in contempt cases. This decision was rendered by him in upholding a pardon granted by President Hoover to a man imprisoned by a United States district judge in Illinois for contempt in a summary proceeding. Chief Justice Taft declared at page 118 of volume 267, United States Reports: {{smaller block|The King of England before our Revolution, in the exercise of his prerogative, had always exercised the power to pardon contempts of court, just as he did ordinary crimes and misdemeanors and as he has done to the present day. In the mind of a common-law lawyer of the 18th century the word pardon included within its scope the ending by the King’s grace of the punishment of such derelictions, whether it was imposed by the court without a jury or upon indictment, for both forms of trial for contempts were had. ''Thomas of Chartham'' v. ''Benet of Stamford'' ((1313), 24 Selden Society, 185); ''Fulwood'' v. ''Fulwood'' ((1585), Toothill, 46); ''Rex'' v. ''Buckenham'' ((1665), 1 Deble 751, 707, 852); Anonymous (1674), Cases in Chancery (238); ''King and Codrington'' v. ''Rodmap'' ((1630), Cr. Car. 198); ''Bartram'' v. ''Dannett'' ((1676), Finch, 253); ''Phipps'' v. ''Earl of Angelsea'' ((1721), 1 Peere Williams, 696).}} In all probability Mr. Taft was induced to recognize the fact that jury trials were customarily had at common law in contempts as a result of research conducted by the distinguished historian of English law, Mr. W. S. Holdsworth. The efforts of this great historian were first made public in 1909 after Mr. Taft had made his earlier statement. Mr. Holdsworth declared that the only cases in which contempts were punished summarily was where the contemnor confessed his guilt. If he did not confess the accused was tried by the ordinary course of law which meant trial by jury. To quote Mr. Holdsworth: {{smaller block|A History of English Law, volume III., pages 392–393. * * * But all through the medieval period, and long afterwards, the courts, though they might attack persons who were guilty of contempts of court, could not punish them summarily. Unless they confessed their guilt, they must be regularly indicted and convicted. Mr. Fox has given a list of 40 cases of various contempts—insults to the judges, an assault on the attorney general, beating jurors, striking a witness, trampling on a writ of prohibition—in all of which the offender was tried by the ordinary course of law. That this was the correct course to pursue was stated by Anderson, C. J., in 1599.}} In another opinion while Chief Justice Mr. Taft changed his mind about the immunity of Federal judges from vindictiveness in issuing contempt orders. On November 19, 1923, in a concurring opinion in ''Craig'' v. ''Hecht'' (263 U. S. 255 at p. 279), the Chief Justice said: {{smaller block|The delicacy there is in the judge’s deciding whether an attack upon his own judicial action is mere criticism or real obstruction, and the possibility that impulse may incline his view to personal vindication, are manifest. But the law gives the person convicted of contempt in such a case the right to have the whole question on facts and law reviewed by three judges of the circuit court of appeals who have had no part in the proceedings, and if not successful in that court, to apply to this Court for an opportunity for a similar review here.}} Mr. President, on June 10, 1957, the Supreme Court delivered an opinion in the case of [[Reid v. Covert (354 U.S. 1)|''Reid'' against ''Covert'']]. Since this opinion deals with the question “the right of trial by jury,” I think it is advisable for the Senate to consider this decision of the Supreme Court. I shall read a number of pages from the opinion and a concurring opinion by Justice Frankfurter. Some of the material in this opinion necessarily discusses the background of the cases. However, I believe it appropriate to read this material because it is necessary to a full understanding of this decision which upheld the constitutional right of trial by jury which H. R. 6127 would deny under certain conditions. I read from the opinion of the Court: {{smaller block|SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.'' CLARICE B. COVERT; NINA KINSELLA, WARDEN OF THE FEDERAL REFORMATORY FOR WOMEN, ALDERSON, WEST VIRGINIA, PETITIONER, ''v.'' WALTER KRUEGER, ON REHEARING, JUNE 10, 1957 Mr. Justice Black announced the judgment of the Court and delivered an opinion, in which the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan join. These cases raise basic constitutional issues of the utmost concern. They call into question the role of the military under our system of government. They involve the power of Congress to expose civilians to trial by military tribunals, under military regulations and procedures, for offenses against the United States thereby depriving them of trial in civilian courts, under civilian laws and procedures and with all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights. These cases are particularly significant because for the first time since the adoption of the Constitution wives of soldiers have been denied trial by jury in a court of law and forced to trial before courts-martial. In No. 701 Mrs. Clarice Covert killed her husband, a sergeant in the United States Air Force, at an airbase in England. Mrs. Covert, who was not a member of the armed services, was residing on the base with her husband at the time. She was tried by a court-martial for murder under Article 118 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The trial was on charges preferred by Air Force personnel and the court-martial was composed of Air Force officers. The court-martial asserted jurisdiction over Mrs. Covert under Article 2 (11) of the UCMJ, which provides: “The following persons are subject to this code: “(11) Subject to the provisions of any treaty or agreement to which the United States is or may be a party or to any accepted rule of international law, all persons serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces without the continental limits of the United States.” Counsel for Mrs. Covert contended that she was insane at the time she killed her husband, but the military tribunal found her guilty of murder and sentenced her to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed by the Air Force Board of Reviews (16 CMR 465) but was reversed by the Court of Military Appeals (6 USCMA 48), because of prejudicial errors concerning the defense of insanity. While Mrs. Covert was being held in this country pending a proposed retrial by court-martial in the District of Columbia, her counsel petitioned the district court for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to set her free on the ground that the Constitution forbade her trial by military authorities. Construing this court’s decision in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), as holding that “a civilian is entitled to a civilian trial,” the district court held that Mrs. Covert could not be tried by court-martial and ordered her released from custody. The Government appealed directly to this court under, title 28, United States Code, section 1252. See Three Hundred and Fiftieth United States Reports, page 985. In No. 713 Mrs. Dorothy Smith killed her husband, an Army officer, at a post in Japan where she was living with him. She was tried for murder by a court-martial and despite considerable evidence that she was insane was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. The judgment was approved by the Army Board of Review (10 CMR 350, 13 CMR 307), and the Court of Military Appeals (5 USCMA 314). Mrs. Smith was then confined in a Federal penitentiary in West Virginia. Her father, respondent here, filed a petition for ''habeas corpus'' in a district court for West Virginia. The petition charged that the court-martial was without jurisdiction because article 2 (11) of the UCMJ was unconstitutional insofar as it authorized the trial of civilian dependents accompanying servicemen overseas. The district court refused to issue the writ (137 F. Supp. 806), and while an appeal was pending in the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit we granted ''certiorari'' at the request of the Government (350 U. S. 986). The two cases were consolidated and argued last term and a majority of the Court, with 3 Justices dissenting and 1 reserving opinion, held that military trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert for their alleged offenses was constitutional. Three hundred and fifty-first United States Reports, page 470, 487. The majority held that the provisions of article III and the fifth and sixth amendments which require that crimes be tried by a jury after indictment by a grand jury did not protect an American citizen when he was tried by the American Government in foreign lands for offenses committed there and that Congress could provide for the trial of such offenses in any manner it saw fit so long as the procedures established were reasonable and consonant with due process. The opinion then went on to express the view that military trials, as now practiced, were not unreasonable or arbitrary when applied to dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces overseas. In reaching their conclusion the majority found it unnecessary to consider the power of Congress “to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces” under article I of the Constitution. Subsequently, the Court granted a petition for rehearing. Three Hundred and Fifty-second United States Reports, page 901. Now, after further argument and consideration, we conclude that the previous decisions cannot be permitted to stand. We hold that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert could not constitutionally be tried by military authorities. {{c|{{asc|I}}}} At the beginning we reject the idea that when the United States acts against citizens abroad it can do so free of the Bill of Rights. The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution. When the Government reaches out to punish a citizen who is abroad, the shield which the Bill of Rights and other parts of the Constitution provide to protect his life and liberty should not be stripped away just because he happens to be in another land. This is not a novel concept. To the contrary, it is as old as government. It was recognized long before Paul successfully invoked his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in strict accordance with Roman law. And many centuries later an English historian wrote: “In a settled colony the inhabitants have all the rights of Englishmen. They take with them, in the first place, that which no Englishman can by expatriation put off, namely, allegiance to the Crown, the duty of obedience to the lawful commands of the Sovereign, and obedience to the laws which Parliament may think proper to make with reference to such a colony. But, on the other hand, they take with them all the rights and liberties of British subjects; all the rights and liberties as against the prerogative of the Crown, which they would enjoy in this county.” The rights and liberties which citizens of our country enjoy are not protected by custom and tradition alone, they have been jealously preserved from the encroachments of Government by express provisions of our written Constitution. Among those provisions, article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments are directly relevant to these cases. Article III, section 2, lays down the rule that— “The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the State where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” The fifth amendment declares: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.” And the sixth amendment provides: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.” The language of article III, section 2, manifests that constitutional protections for the individual were designed to restrict the United States Government when it acts outside of this country, as well as here at home. After declaring that all criminal trials must be by jury, the section states that when a crime is “not committed within any State, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.” If this language is permitted to have its obvious meaning, section 2 is applicable to criminal trials outside of the States as a group without regard to where the offense is committed or the trial held. From the very first Congress, Federal statutes have implemented the provisions of section 2 by providing for trial of murder and other crimes committed outside the jurisdiction of any State “in the district where the offender is apprehended, or into which he may first be brought.” The fifth and sixth amendments, like article III, section 2, are also all inclusive with their sweeping references to “no person” and to “all criminal prosecutions.” This Court and other Federal courts have held or asserted that various constitutional limitations apply to the Government when it acts outside the continental United States. While it has been suggested that only those constitutional rights which are “fundamental” protect Americans abroad, we can find no warrant, in logic or otherwise, for picking and choosing among the remarkable collection of “Thou shalt nots” which were explicitly fastened on all departments and agencies of the Federal Government by the Constitution and its amendments. Moreover, in view of our heritage and the history of the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it seems peculiarly anomalous to say that trial before a civilian judge and by an independent jury picked from the common citizenry are not fundamental rights. As Blackstone wrote in his Commentaries: “The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * [I]t is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals.” Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. The keystone of supporting authorities mustered by the Court’s opinion last June to justify its holding that article III, section 2, and the fifth and sixth amendments did not apply abroad was ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). The Ross case is one of those cases that cannot be understood except in its peculiar setting; even then, it seems highly unlikely that a similar result would be reached to-day. Ross was serving as a seaman on an American ship in Japanese waters. He killed a ship’s officer, was seized and tried before a consular court in Japan. At that time, statutes authorized American consuls to try American citizens charged with committing crimes in Japan and certain other non-Christian countries. These statutes provided that the laws of the United States were to govern the trial except: “Where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” The consular power approved in the Ross case was about as extreme and absolute as that of the potentates of the non-Christian countries to which the statutes applied. Under these statutes consuls could and did make the criminal laws, initiate charges, arrest alleged offenders, try them, and after conviction take away their liberty or their life—sometimes at the American consulate. Such a blending of executive, legislative, and judicial powers in one person or even in one branch of the Government is ordinarily regarded as the very acme of absolutism. Nevertheless, the Court sustained Ross’ conviction by the consul. It stated that constitutional protections applied “only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad.” Despite the fact that it upheld Ross’ conviction under United States laws passed pursuant to asserted constitutional authority, the Court went on to make a sweeping declaration that “[t]he Constitution can have no operation in another country.” The Ross approach that the Constitution has no applicability abroad has long since been directly repudiated by numerous cases. That approach is obviously erroneous if the United States Government, which has no power except that granted by the Constitution, can and does try citizens for crimes committed abroad. Thus the Ross case rested, at least in substantial part, on a fundamental misconception and the most that can be said in support of the result reached there is that the consular court jurisdiction had a long history antedating the adoption of the Constitution. The Congress has recently buried the consular system of trying Americans. We are not willing to jeopardize the lives and liberties of Americans by disinterring it. At best, the Ross case should be left as a relic from a different era. The Court’s opinion last term also relied on the Insular Cases to support its conclusion that article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments were not applicable to the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. We believe that reliance was misplaced. The Insular Cases can be distinguished from the present cases in that they involved the power of Congress to provide rules and regulations to govern temporarily territories with wholly dissimilar traditions and institutions whereas here the basis for governmental power is American citizenship. None of these cases had anything to do with military trials and they cannot properly be used as vehicles to support an extension of military jurisdiction to civilians. Moreover, it is our judgment that neither the cases nor their reasoning should be given any further expansion. The concept that the Bill of Rights and other constitutional protections against arbitrary government are inoperative when they become inconvenient or when expediency dictates otherwise is a very dangerous doctrine and if allowed to flourish would destroy the benefit of a written Constitution and undermine the basis of our Government. If our foreign commitments become of such nature that the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority, or inclination, to read exceptions into it which are not there. {{c|{{asc|II}}}} At the time of Mrs. Covert’s alleged offense, an executive agreement was in effect between the United States and Great Britain which permitted United States military courts to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over offenses committed in Great Britain by American servicemen or their dependents. For its part, the United States agreed that these military courts would be willing and able to try and to punish all offenses against the laws of Great Britain by such persons. In all material respects, the same situation existed in Japan when Mrs. Smith killed her husband. Even though a court-martial does not give an accused trial by jury and other Bill of Rights protections, the Government contends that section 2(11) of the UCMJ, insofar as it authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces in Great Britain and Japan, can be sustained as legislation which is necessary and proper to carry out the United States obligations under the international agreements made with those countries. The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution. Article VI., the supremacy clause of the Constitution, declares: “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.” There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result. These debates as well as the history that surrounds the adoption of the treaty provision in article VI. make it clear that the reason treaties were not limited to those made in pursuance of the Constitution was so that agreements made by the United States under the Articles of Confederation, including the important peace treaties which concluded the Revolutionary War, would remain in effect. It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe article VI. as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the executive or by the executive and the Senate combined. There is nothing new or unique about what we say here. This court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty. For example, in ''Geofroy'' v. ''Riggs'' (133 U. S. 258, 267), it declared: “The treaty power, as expressed in the Constitution, is in terms unlimited except by those restraints which are found in that instrument against the action of the Government or of its departments, and those arising from the nature of the Government itself and of that of the States. It would not be contended that it extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent.” This Court has also repeatedly taken the position that an act of Congress, which must comply with the Constitution, is on a full parity with a treaty, and that when a statute which is subsequent in time is inconsistent with a treaty, the statute to the extent of conflict renders the treaty null. It would be completely anomalous to say that a treaty need not comply with the Constitution when such an agreement can be overridden by a statute that must conform to that instrument. There is nothing in ''Missouri'' v. ''Holland'' (252 U. S. 416), which is contrary to the position taken here. There the Court carefully noted that the treaty involved was not inconsistent with any specific provision of the Constitution. The Court was concerned with the 10th amendment which reserves to the States or the people all power not delegated to the National Government. To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their power to the National Government and the 10th amendment is no barrier. In summary, we conclude that the Constitution in its entirety applied to the trials of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert. Since their court-martial did not meet the requirements of article III., section 2, or the fifth and sixth amendments, we are compelled to determine if there is anything within the Constitution which authorizes the military trial of dependents accompanying the Armed Forces overseas. {{c|{{asc|III}}}} Article I., section 8, clause 14, empowers Congress “To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” It has been held that this creates an exception to the normal method of trial in civilian courts as provided by the Constitution and permits Congress to authorize military trial of members of the armed services without all the safeguards given an accused by article III. and the Bill of Rights. But if the language of clause 14 is given its natural meaning, the power granted does not extend to civilians—even though they may be dependents living with servicemen on a military base. The term “land and naval forces” refers to persons who are members of the armed services and not to their civilian wives, children, and other dependents. It seems inconceivable that Mrs. Covert or Mrs. Smith could have been tried by military authorities as members of the land and naval forces had they been living on a military post in this country. Yet this constitutional term surely has the same meaning everywhere. The wives of servicemen are no more members of the land and naval forces when living at a military post in England or Japan than when living at a base in this country or in Hawaii or Alaska. The Government argues that the necessary and proper clause, when taken in conjunction with clause 14, allows Congress to authorize the trial of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert by military tribunals and under military law. The Government claims that the two clauses together constitute a broad grant of power without limitation authorizing Congress to subject all persons, civilians and soldiers alike, to military trial if necessary and proper to govern and regulate the land and naval forces. It was on a similar theory that Congress once went to the extreme of subjecting persons who made contracts with the military to court-martial jurisdiction with respect to frauds related to such contracts. In the only judicial test a Circuit Court held that the legislation was patently unconstitutional. ''Ex parte'' Henderson (11 Fed. Cas. 1067, No. 6349). It is true that the Constitution expressly grants Congress power to make all rules necessary and proper to govern and regulate those persons who are serving in the land and naval forces. But the necessary and proper clause cannot operate to extend military jurisdiction to any group of persons beyond that class described in clause 14—“the land and naval forces.” Under the grand design of the Constitution civilian courts are the normal repositories of power to try persons charged with crimes against the United States. And to protect persons brought before these courts, article III. and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments establish the right to trial by jury, by indictment by a grand jury, and a number of other specific safeguards. By way of contrast the jurisdiction of military tribunals is a very limited and extraordinary jurisdiction derived from the cryptic language in article I., section 8, and, at most, was intended to be only a narrow exception to the normal and preferred method of trial in courts of law. Every extension of military jurisdiction is an encroachment on the jurisdiction of the civil courts, and, more important, acts as a deprivation of the right to jury trial and of other treasured constitutional protections. Having run up against the steadfast bulwark of the Bill of Rights, the necessary and proper clause cannot extend the scope of clause 14. Nothing said here contravenes the rule laid down in ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, at 421), that: “Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.” In McCulloch this Court was confronted with the problem of determining the scope of the necessary and proper clause in a situation where no specific restraints on governmental power stood in the way. Here the problem is different. Not only does clause 14, by its terms, limit military jurisdiction to members of the land and naval forces, but article III., section 2 and the fifth and sixth amendments require that certain express safeguards, which were designed to protect persons from oppressive governmental practices, shall be given in criminal prosecutions—safeguards which cannot be given in a military trial. In the light of these as well as other constitutional provisions, and the historical background in which they were formed, military trial of civilians is inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of the constitution. Further light is reflected on the scope of clause 14 by the fifth amendment. That amendment which was adopted shortly after the Constitution reads: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger.” Since the exception in this amendment for cases arising in the land or naval forces was undoubtedly designed to correlate with the power granted Congress to provide for the government and regulation of the armed services, it is a persuasive and reliable indication that the authority conferred by clause 14 does not encompass persons who cannot fairly be said to be in the military service. Even if it were possible, we need not attempt here to precisely define the boundary between civilians and members of the land and naval forces. We recognize that there might be circumstances where a person could be in the armed services for purposes of clause 14 even though he had not formally been inducted into the military or did not wear a uniform. But the wives, children, and other dependents of servicemen cannot be placed in that category, even though they may be accompanying a serviceman abroad at Government expense and receiving other benefits from the Government. We have no difficulty in saying that such persons do not lose their civilian status and their right to a civilian trial because the Government helps them live as members of a soldier’s family. The tradition of keeping the military subordinate to civilian authority may not be so strong in the minds of this generation as it was in the minds of those who wrote the Constitution. The idea that the relatives of soldiers could be denied a jury trial in a court of law and instead be tried by courts-martial under the guise of regulating the Armed Forces would have seemed incredible to those men, in whose lifetime the right of the military to try soldiers for any offenses in time of peace had only been grudgingly conceded. The founders envisioned the Army as a necessary institution, but one dangerous to liberty if not confined within its essential bounds. Their fears were rooted in history. They knew that ancient republics had been overthrown by their military leaders. They were familiar with the history of 17th century England, where Charles I. tried to govern through the army and without Parliament. During this attempt, contrary to the common law, he used courts-martial to try soldiers for certain nonmilitary offenses. This court-martialing of soldiers in peacetime evoked strong protests from Parliament. The reign of Charles I. was followed by the rigorous military rule of Oliver Cromwell. Later, James II. used the army in his fight against Parliament and the people. He promulgated articles of war (strangely enough relied on in the Government’s brief) authorizing the trial of soldiers for nonmilitary Crimes by courts-martial. This action hastened the revolution that brought William and Mary to the throne upon their agreement to abide by a bill of rights which, among other things, protected the right of trial by jury. It was against this general background that two of the greatest English jurists, Lord Chief Justice Hale and Sir William Blackstone—men who exerted considerable influence on the founders—expressed sharp hostility to any expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. For instance, Blackstone went so far as to assert: “For martial law, which is built upon no settled principles, but is entirely arbitrary in its decisions, is, as Sir Matthew Hale observes, in truth and reality no law, but something indulged rather than allowed as a law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the {{SIC|ony|only}} thing which can give it countenance; and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the king’s courts are open for all persons to receive justice according to the laws of the land.” The generation that adopted the Constitution did not distrust the military because of past history alone. Within their own lives they had seen royal governors sometimes resort to military rule. British troops were quartered in Boston at various times from 1768 until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War to support unpopular royal governors and to intimidate the local populace. The trial of soldiers by courts-martial and the interference of the military with the civil courts aroused great anxiety and antagonism not only in Massachusetts but throughout the colonies. For example, Samuel Adams in 1768 wrote: “[I]s it not enough for us to have seen soldiers and mariners forejudged of life, and executed within the body of the county by martial law? Are citizens to be called upon, threatened, ill-used at the will of the soldiery, and put under arrest, by pretext of the law military, in breach of the fundamental rights of subjects, and contrary to the law and franchise of the land? * * * Will the spirits of people as yet unsubdued by tyranny, unawed by the menaces of arbitrary power, submit to be governed by military force? No! Let us rouse our attention to the common law—which is our birthright, our great security against all kinds of insult and oppression.” Colonials had also seen the right to trial by jury subverted by acts of Parliament which authorized courts of admiralty to try alleged violations of the unpopular Molasses and Navigation Acts. This gave the admiralty courts jurisdiction over offenses historically triable only by a jury in a court of law and aroused great resentment throughout the colonies. As early as 1765 delegates from nine colonies meeting in New York asserted in a declaration of rights that trial by jury was the inherent and invaluable right of every citizen in the colonies. With this background it is not surprising that the Declaration of Independence protested that George III. had affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power and that Americans had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. And those who adopted the Constitution embodied their profound fear and distrust of military power, as well as their determination to protect trial by jury, in the Constitution and its amendments. Perhaps they were aware that memories fade and hoped that in this way they could keep the people of this Nation from having to fight again and again the same old battles for individual freedom. In the light of this history, it seems clear that the founders had no intention to permit the trial of civilians in military courts, where they would be denied jury trials and other constitutional protections, merely by giving Congress the power to make rules which were necessary and proper for the regulation of the land and naval forces. Such a latitudinarian interpretation of these clauses would be at war with the well-established purpose of the founders to keep the military strictly within its proper sphere, subordinate to civil authority. The Constitution does not say that Congress can regulate the land and naval forces and all other persons whose regulation might have some relationship to maintenance of the land and naval forces. There is no indication that the founders contemplated setting up a rival system of military courts to compete with civilian courts for jurisdiction over civilians who might have some contact or relationship with the Armed Forces. Courts-martial were not to have concurrent jurisdiction with courts of law over nonmilitary America. On several occasions this Court has been faced with an attempted expansion of the jurisdiction of military courts. ''Ex parte'' Milligan (4 Wall. 2), one of the great landmarks in this Court’s history, held that military authorities were without power to try civilians not in the military or naval service by declaring martial law in an area where the civil administration was not deposed and the courts were not closed. In a stirring passage the Court proclaimed: “Another guaranty of freedom was broken when Milligan was denied a trial by jury. The great minds of the country have differed on the correct interpretation to be given to various provisions of the Federal Constitution; and judicial decision has been often invoked to settle their true meaning; but until recently no one ever doubted that the right of trial by jury was fortified in the organic law against the power of attack. It is now assailed; but if ideas can be expressed in words, and language has any meaning, this right—one of the most valuable in a free country—is preserved to everyone accused of crime who is not attached to the Army, or Navy, or militia in actual service.” In ''Duncan'' v. ''Kahanamoku'' (327 U. S. 304), the Court reasserted the principles enunciated in ''Ex parte'' Milligan and reaffirmed the tradition of military subordination to civil authorities and institutions. It refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during wartime despite Government claims that the needs of defense made martial law imperative. Just last term, this Court held in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), that military courts could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense which he had allegedly committed while in the Armed Forces. It was decided (1) that since Toth was a civilian he could not be tried by military court-martial, and (2) that since he was charged with murder, a crime in the constitutional sense, he was entitled to indictment by a grand jury, jury trial, and the other protections contained in article III., section 2 and the fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. The Court pointed out that trial by civilian courts was the rule for persons who were not members of the Armed Forces. There are no supportable grounds upon which to distinguish the ''Toth'' case from the present cases. Toth, Mrs. Covert, and Mrs. Smith were all civilians. All three were American citizens. All three were tried for murder. All three alleged crimes were committed in a foreign country. The only differences were: (1) Toth was an exserviceman while they were wives of soldiers; (2) Toth was arrested in the United States while they were seized in foreign countries. If anything, Toth had closer connection with the military than the two women for his crime was committed while he was actually serving in the Air Force. Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith had never been members of the Army, had never been employed by the Army, had never served in the Army in any capacity. The Government appropriately argued in Toth that the constitutional basis for court-martialing him was clearer than for court-martialing wives who are accompanying their husbands abroad. Certainly Toth’s conduct as a soldier bears a closer relation to the maintenance of order and discipline in the Armed Forces than the conduct of these wives. The fact that Toth was arrested here while the wives were arrested in foreign countries is material only if constitutional safeguards do not shield a citizen abroad when the Government exercises its power over him. As we have said before, such a view of the Constitution is erroneous. The mere fact that these women had gone overseas with their husbands should not reduce the protection the Constitution gives them. The Milligan, ''Duncan'', and ''Toth'' cases recognized and manifested the deeply rooted and ancient opposition in this country to the extension of military control over civilians. In each instance an effort to expand the jurisdiction of military courts to civilians was repulsed. There have been a number of decisions in the lower Federal courts which have upheld military trial of civilians performing services for the Armed Forces in the field during time of war. To the extent that these cases can be justified, insofar as they involved trial of persons who were not members of the Armed Forces, they must rest on the Government’s war powers. In the face of an actively hostile enemy, military commanders necessarily have broad power over persons on the battlefront. From a time prior to the adoption of the Constitution the extraordinary circumstances present in an area of actual fighting have been considered sufficient to permit punishment of some civilians in that area by military courts under military rules. But neither Japan nor Great Britain could properly be said to be an area where active hostilities were underway at the time Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Covert committed their offenses or at the time they were tried. The Government urges that the concept in the field should be broadened to reach dependents accompanying the military forces overseas under the conditions of world tension which exist at the present time. It points out how the war powers include authority to prepare defenses and to establish our military forces in defensive posture about the world. While we recognize that the war powers of the Congress and the Executive are broad, we reject the Government’s argument that present threats to peace permit military trial of civilians accompanying the Armed Forces overseas in an area where no actual hostilities are underway. The exigencies which have required military rule on the battlefront are not present in areas where no conflict exists. Military trial of civilians in the field is an extraordinary jurisdiction, and it should not be expanded at the expense of the Bill of Rights. We agree with Colonel Winthrop, an expert on military jurisdiction, who declared: “A statute cannot be framed by which a civilian can lawfully be made amenable to the military jurisdiction in time of peace.” As this Court stated in ''United States ex rel. Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11), the business of soldiers is to fight and prepare to fight wars, not to try civilians for their alleged crimes. Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions, and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks. Because of its very nature and purpose the military must place great emphasis on discipline and efficiency. Correspondingly, there has always been less emphasis in the military on protecting the rights of the individual than in civilian society and in civilian courts. Courts-martial are typically ''ad hoc'' bodies appointed by a military officer from among his subordinates. They have always been subject to varying degrees of command influence. In essence, these tribunals are simply executive tribunals whose personnel are in the executive chain of command. Frequently, the members of the court-martial must look to the appointing officer for promotions, advantageous assignments, and efficiency ratings—in short, for their future progress in the service. Conceding to military personnel that high degree of honesty and sense of justice which nearly all of them undoubtedly have, the members of a court-martial, in the nature of things, do not and cannot have the independence of jurors drawn from the general public or of civilian judges. We recognize that a number of improvements have been made in military justice recently by engrafting more and more of the methods of civilian courts on courts-martial. In large part these ameliorations stem from the reaction of civilians, who were inducted during the two World Wars, to their experience with military justice. Notwithstanding the recent reforms, military trial does not give an accused the same protection which exists in the civil courts. Looming far above all other deficiencies of the military trial, of course, are the absence of trial by jury before an independent judge after an indictment by a grand jury. Moreover, the reforms are merely statutory; Congress—and perhaps the President—can reinstate former practices, subject to any limitations imposed by the Constitution, whenever it desires. As yet it has not been clearly settled to what extent the Bill of Rights and other protective parts of the Constitution apply to military trials. It must be emphasized that every person who comes within the jurisdiction of courts-martial is subject to military law—law that is substantially different from the law which governs civilian society. Military law is, in many respects, harsh law which is frequently cast in very sweeping and vague terms. It emphasizes the iron hand of discipline more that it does the even scales of justice. Moreover, it has not yet been definitely established to what extent the President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, or his delegates, can promulgate, supplement, or change substantive military law as well as the procedures of military courts in time of peace, or in time of war. In any event, Congress has given the President broad discretion to provide the rules governing military trials. For example, in these very cases a technical manual issued under the President’s name with regard to the defense of insanity in military trials was of critical importance in the convictions of Mrs. Covert and Mrs. Smith. If the President can provide rules of substantive law as well as procedure, then he and his military subordinates exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers with respect to those subject to military trials. Such blending of functions in one branch of the Government is the objectionable thing which the draftsmen of the Constitution endeavored to prevent by providing for the separation of governmental powers. In summary, “it still remains true that military tribunals have not been and probably never can be constituted in such way that they can have the same kind of qualifications that the Constitution has deemed essential to fair trials of civilians in Federal courts.” In part this is attributable to the inherent differences in values and attitudes that separate the Military Establishment from civilian society. In the military, by necessity, emphasis must be placed on the security and order of the group rather than on the value and integrity of the individual. It is urged that the expansion of military jurisdiction over civilians claimed here is only slight, and that the practical necessity for it is very great. The attitude appears to be that a slight encroachment on the Bill of Rights and other safeguards in the Constitution need cause little concern. But to hold that these wives could be tried by the military would be a tempting precedent. Slight encroachments create new boundaries from which legions of power can seek new territory to capture. “It may be that it is the obnoxious thing in its mildest and least repulsive form; but illegitimate and unconstitutional practices get their first footing in that way; namely, by silent approaches and slight deviations from legal modes of procedure. This can only be obviated by adhering to the rule that constitutional provisions for the security of person and property should be liberally construed. A close and literal construction deprives them of half their efficacy, and leads to gradual depreciation of the right, as if it consisted more in sound than in substance. It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizen, and against any stealthy encroachments thereon.” Moreover we cannot consider this encroachment a slight one. Throughout history many transgressions by the military have been called slight and have been justified as reasonable in light of the uniqueness of the times. We cannot close our eyes to the fact that today the peoples of many nations are ruled by the military. We should not break faith with this Nation’s tradition of keeping military power subservient to civilian authority, a tradition which we believe is firmly embodied in the Constitution. The country has remained true to that faith for almost 170 years. Perhaps no group in the Nation has been truer than military men themselves. Unlike the soldiers of many other nations, they have been content to perform their military duties in defense of the Nation in every period of need and to perform those duties well without attempting to usurp power which is not theirs under our system of constitutional government. Ours is a Government of divided authority on the assumption that in division there is not only strength but freedom from tyranny. And under our Constitution courts of law alone are given power to try civilians for their offenses against the United States. The philosophy expressed by Lord Coke, speaking long ago from a wealth of experience, is still timely: “God send me never to live under the law of conveniency or discretion. Shall the soldier and justice sit on one bench, the trumpet will not let the cryer speak in Westminster Hall.” In No. 701, ''Reid'' v. ''Covert'', the judgment of the district court directing that Mrs. Covert be released from custody is affirmed. In No. 713, ''Kinsella'' v. ''Krueger'', the judgment of the district court is reversed and the case is remanded with instructions to order Mrs. Smith released from custody. Reversed and remanded. Mr. Justice Whittaker took no part in the consideration or decision of these cases. {{rule|3em}} SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOS. 701 AND 713, OCTOBER TERM, 1955—CURTIS REID, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA JAIL, APPELLANT, ''v.''

These cases involve the constitutional power of Congress to provide for trial of civilian dependents accompanying members of the Armed Forces abroad by court-martial in capital cases. The normal method of trial of Federal offenses under the Constitution is in a civilian tribunal. Trial of offenses by way of court-martial, with all the characteristics of its procedure so different from the forms and safeguards of procedure in the conventional courts, is an exercise of exceptional jurisdiction, arising from the power granted to Congress in article I., section 8, clause 14, of the Constitution of the United States—“To make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.” ''Dynes'' v. ''Hoover'', (20 How. 65); see ''Toth'' v. ''Quarles'' (350 U. S. 11); Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d ed. 1896), 52. Article 2(11) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 64th United States Statutes at Large, pages 107, 109, title 50, United States Code, section 532, and its predecessors were passed as an exercise of that power, and the agreements with England and Japan recognized that the jurisdiction to be exercised under those agreements was based on the relation of the persons involved to the military forces. See the agreement with Great Britain (57 Stat. 1193, E. A. S. No. 355) and the United States of America (Visiting Forces) Act (1942, 5 and 6 Geo. 6, ch. 31); and the 1952 administrative agreement with Japan (3 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 3341, T. I. A. S. No. 2492). Trial by court-martial is constitutionally permissible only for persons who can, on a fair appraisal, be regarded as falling within the authority given to Congress under article I. to regulate the “land and naval forces,” and who therefore are not protected by specific provisions of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. It is, of course, true that, at least regarding the right to a grand-jury indictment, the fifth amendment is not unmindful of the demands of military discipline. Within the scope of appropriate construction, the phrase “except in cases arising in the land and naval forces” has been assumed also to modify the guaranties of speedy and public trial by jury. And so, the problem before us is not to be answered by recourse to the literal words of this exception. The cases cannot be decided simply by saying that since these women were not in uniform, they were not “in the land and naval forces.” The Court’s function in constitutional adjudications is not exhausted by a literal reading of words. It may be tiresome, but it is nonetheless vital, to keep our judicial minds fixed on the injunction that “it is a Constitution we are expounding.” ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316, 407). Although Winthrop in his treatise states that the Constitution “clearly distinguishes the military from the civil class as separate communities” and “recognizes no third class which is part civil and part military—military for a particular purpose or in a particular situation, and civil for all other purposes and in all other situations. * * *” Winthrop, Military Law and Precedents (2d edition 1896), 145, this Court, applying appropriate methods of constitutional interpretation, has long held, and in a variety of situations, that in the exercise of a power specifically granted to it, Congress may sweep in what may be necessary to make effective the explicitly worded power. See ''Jacob Ruppert'' v. ''Caffey'' (251 U. S. 264) especially 289 and following; ''Purity Extract Co.'' v. ''Lynch'' (226 U. S. 192, 201); ''Railroad Commission'' v. ''Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy R. Co.'' (257 U. S. 563, 588). This is the significance of the necessary and proper clause, which is not to be considered so much a separate clause in article I., section 8, as an integral part of each of the preceding 17 clauses. Only thus may be avoided a strangling literalness in construing a document that is not an enumeration of static rules, but the living framework of Government designed for an undefined future. ''M’Culloch'' v. ''Maryland'' (4 Wheat. 316); ''Hurtado'' v. ''California'' (110 U. S. 516, 530–531). Everything that may be deemed, as the exercise of an allowable judgment by Congress, to fall fairly within the conception conveyed by the power given to Congress “to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces” is constitutionally within that legislative grant and not subject to revision by the independent judgment of the Court. To be sure, every event or transaction that bears some relation to “the land and naval forces” does not ''ipso facto'' come within the tolerant conception of that legislative grant. The issue in these cases involves regard for considerations not dissimilar to those involved in a determination under the due process clause. Obviously, the practical situations before us bear some relation to the military. Yet the question for this Court is not merely whether the relation of these women to the “land and naval forces” is sufficiently close to preclude the necessity of finding that Congress has been arbitrary in its selection of a particular method of trial. For although we must look to article I., section 8, clause 14, as the immediate justifying power, it is not the only clause of the Constitution to be taken into account. The Constitution is an organic scheme of government to be dealt with as an entirety. A particular provision cannot be dissevered from the rest of the Constitution. Our conclusion in these cases therefore must take due account of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must weigh all the factors involved in these cases in order to decide whether these women dependents are so closely related to what Congress may allowably deem essential for the effective “government and regulations of the land and naval forces” that they may be subjected to court-martial jurisdiction in these capital cases, when the consequence is loss of the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We are not concerned here even with the possibility of some alternative nonmilitary type of trial that does not contain all the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. We must judge only what has been enacted and what is at issue. It is the power actually asserted by Congress under article I., section 8, clause 14, that must now be adjudged in the light of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. In making this adjudication, I must emphasize that it is only the trial of civilian dependents in a capital case in time of peace that is in question. The Court has not before it, and therefore I need not intimate any opinion on, situations involving civilians, in the sense of persons not having a military status, other than dependents. Nor do we have before us a case involving a noncapital crime. This narrow delineation of the issue is merely to respect the important restrictions binding on the Court when passing on the constitutionality of an act of Congress. “In the exercise of that jurisdiction, it is bound by two rules, to which it has rigidly adhered, one, never to anticipate a question of constitutional law in advance of the necessity of deciding it; the other never to formulate a rule of constitutional law broader than is required by the precise facts to which it is to be applied. These rules are safe guides to sound judgment. It is the dictate of wisdom to follow them closely and carefully.” ''Steamship Co.'' v. ''Emigration Commissioners'' (113 U. S. 33, 39). We are also not concerned here with the substantive aspects of the grant of power to Congress to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces. What conduct should be punished and what constitutes a capital case are matters for Congressional discretion, always subject, of course, to any specific restrictions of the Constitution. These cases involve the validity of procedural conditions for determining the commission of a crime in fact punishable by death. The taking of life is irrevocable. It is in capital cases especially that the balance of conflicting interests must be weighted most heavily in favor of the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights. Thus, in ''Powell'' v. ''Alabama'' (287 U. S. 45, 71), the fact “above all that they stood in deadly peril of their lives” led the Court to conclude that the defendants had been denied due process by the failure to allow them reasonable time to seek counsel and the failure to appoint counsel. I repeat. I do not mean to imply that the considerations that are controlling in capital cases involving civilian dependents are constitutionally irrelevant in capital cases involving civilians other than dependents or in noncapital cases involving dependents or other civilians. I do say that we are dealing here only with capital cases and civilian dependents. The Government asserts that civilian dependents are an integral part of our Armed Forces overseas and that there is substantial military necessity for subjecting them to court-martial jurisdiction. The Government points out that civilian dependents go abroad under military auspices, live with military personnel in a military community, enjoy the privileges of military facilities, and that their conduct inevitably tends to influence military discipline. The prosecution by court-martial for capital crimes committed by civilian dependents of members of the Armed Forces abroad is hardly to be deemed; under modern conditions, obviously appropriate to the effective exercise of the power to make rules for the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces when it is a question of deciding what power is granted under article I. and, therefore, what restriction is made on article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. I do not think that the proximity, physical and social, of these women to the land and naval forces is, with due regard to all that has been put before us, so clearly demanded by the effective Government and regulation of those forces as reasonably to demonstrate a justification for court-martial jurisdiction over capital offenses. The Government speaks of the “great potential impact on military discipline” of these accompanying civilian dependents. This cannot be denied, nor should its implications be minimized. But the notion that discipline over military personnel is to be furthered by subjecting their civilian dependents to the threat of capital punishment imposed by court-martial is too hostile to the reasons that underlie the procedural safeguards of the Bill of Rights for those safeguards to be displaced. It is true that military discipline might be affected seriously if civilian dependents could commit murders and other capital crimes with impunity. No one, however, challenges the availability to Congress of a power to provide for trial and punishment of these dependents for such crimes. The method of trial alone is in issue. The Government suggests that if trial in an article III. court subject to the restrictions of the fifth and sixth amendments is the only alternative, such a trial could not be held abroad practicably, and it would often be equally impracticable to transport all the witnesses back to the United States for trial. But although there is no need to pass on that issue in this case, trial in the United States is obviously not the only practical alternative and other alternatives may raise different constitutional questions. The Government’s own figures for the Army show that the total number of civilians (all civilians serving with, employed by, or accompanying the Armed Forces overseas and not merely civilian dependents) for whom general courts-martial for alleged murder were deemed advisable was only 13 in the 7 fiscal years, 1950–56. It is impossible to ascertain from the figures supplied to us exactly how many persons were tried for other capital offenses, but the figures indicate that there could not have been many. There is nothing to indicate that the figures for the other services are more substantial. It thus appears to be a manageable problem within the procedural restrictions found necessary by this opinion. A further argument is made that a decision adverse to the Government would mean that only a foreign trial could be had. Even assuming that the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, (4 U. S. Treaties and Other International Agreements 1792, T. I. A. S. No. 2846) covering countries where a large part of our Armed Forces are stationed, gives jurisdiction to the United States only through its military authorities, this court cannot speculate that any given nation would be unwilling to grant or continue such extraterritorial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in capital cases if they were to be tried by some other manner than court-martial. And even if such were the case, these civilian dependents would then merely be in the same position as are so many Federal employees and their dependents and other United States citizens who are subject to the laws of foreign nations when residing there. See also the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, ''supra'', article VII., sections 2, 3. The Government makes the final argument that these civilian dependents are part of the United States military contingent abroad in the eyes of the foreign nations concerned and that their conduct may have a profound effect on our relations with these countries, with a consequent effect on the Military Establishment there. But the argument that military courts-martial in capital cases are necessitated by this factor assumes either that a military court-martial constitutes a stronger deterrent to this sort of conduct or that in the absence of such a trial no punishment would be meted out and our foreign policy thereby injured. The reasons why these considerations carry no conviction have already been indicated. I therefore conclude that in capital cases the exercise of court-martial jurisdiction over civilian dependents in time of peace cannot be justified by article I., considered in connection with the specific protections of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. Since the conclusion thus reached differs from what the Court decided last term, a decent respect for the judicial process calls for reexamination of the two grounds that then prevailed. The court sustained its action on the authority of the cases dealing with the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for the territories, reinforced by ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453), in which this Court, in 1891, sustained the criminal jurisdiction of a consular court in Japan. These authorities grew out of, and related to, specific situations very different from those now here. They do not control or even embarrass the problem before us. Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific judicial origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the purposes they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots. Doctrines like those expressed by the Ross case and the series of cases beginning with ''American Insurance Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511), must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion. “If a precedent involving a black horse is applied to a case involving a white horse, we are not excited. If it were an elephant or an animal ''ferae naturae'' or a chose in action, then we would venture into thought. The difference might make a difference. We really are concerned about precedents chiefly when their facts differ somewhat from the facts in the case at bar. Then there is a gulf or hiatus that has to be bridged by a concern for principle and a concern for practical results and practical wisdom.” Thomas Reed Powell, Vagaries and Varieties in Constitutional Interpretation 36. This attitude toward precedent underlies the whole system of our case law. It was thus summarized by Mr. Justice Brandeis: “It is a peculiar virtue of our system of law that the process of inclusion and exclusion, so often employed in developing a rule, is not allowed to end with its enunciation and that an expression in an opinion yields later to the impact of facts unforeseen.” ''Jaybird Mining Co.'' v. ''Weir'' (271 U. S. 609, 619 (dissenting)). Especially is this attitude to be observed in constitutional controversies. The Territorial cases relied on by the Court last term held that certain specific constitutional restrictions on the Government did not automatically apply in the acquired Territories of Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, or Puerto Rico. In these cases, the Court drew its decisions from the power of Congress to “make all needful rules and regulations respecting the Territory * * * belonging to the United States,” for which provision is made in article IV., section 3. The United States from time to time acquired lands in which many of our laws and customs found an uncongenial soil because they ill accorded with the history and habits of their people. Mindful of all relevant provisions of the Constitution and not allowing one to frustrate another—which is the guiding thought of this opinion—the Court found it necessary to read article IV., section 3 together with the fifth and sixth amendments and article III. in the light of those circumstances. The question arose most frequently with respect to the establishment of trial by jury in possessions in which such a system was wholly without antecedents. The Court consistently held with respect to such Territory that Congressional power under article IV., section 3 was not restricted by the requirement of article III., section 2, clause 3, and the sixth amendment of providing trial by jury. “If the right to trial by jury were a fundamental right which goes wherever the jurisdiction of the United States extends; or if Congress, in framing laws for outlying territory belonging to the United States, was obliged to establish that system by affirmative legislation, it would follow that, no matter what the needs or capacities of the people, trial by jury, and in no other way, must be forthwith established, although the result may be to work injustice and provoke disturbance rather than to aid the orderly administration of justice. If the United States, impelled by its duty or advantage, shall acquire territory peopled by savages, and of which it may dispose or not hold for ultimate admission to statehood, if this doctrine is sound, it must establish there the trial by jury. To state such a proposition demonstrates the impossibility of carrying it into practice. Again, if the United States shall acquire by treaty the cession of territory having an established system of jurisprudence, where jury trials are unknown, but a method of fair and orderly trial prevails under an acceptable and long-established code, the preference of the people must be disregarded, their established customs ignored, and they themselves coerced to accept, in advance of incorporation into the United States, a system of trial unknown to them and unsuited to their needs. We do not think it was intended, in giving power to Congress to make regulations for the territories, to hamper its exercise with this condition.” ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138, 148.) The fundamental right test is the one which the Court has consistently enunciated in the long series of cases—''e. g.'', ''American Ins. Co.'' v. ''Canter'' (1 Pet. 511); ''De Lima'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 1); ''Downes'' v. ''Bidwell'' (182 U. S. 244); ''Dorr'' v. ''United States'' (195 U. S. 138); ''Balzac'' v. ''Porto Rico'' (258 U. S. 298)—dealing with claims of constitutional restrictions on the power of Congress to make all needful rules and regulations for governing the unincorporated territories. The process of decision appropriate to the problem led to a detailed examination of the relation of the specific territory to the United States. This examination, in its similarity to analysis in terms of due process, is essentially the same as that to be made in the present cases in weighing Congressional power to make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces against the safeguards of article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments. The results in the cases that arose by reason of the acquisition of exotic territory do not control the present cases for the territorial cases rest specifically—on article IV., section 3, which is a grant of power to Congress to deal with territory and other Government property. Of course the power sought to be exercised in Great Britain and Japan does not relate to territory. The Court’s opinions in the territorial cases did not lay down a broad principle that the protective provisions of the Constitution do not apply outside the continental limits of the United States. This Court considered the particular situation in each newly acquired territory to determine whether the grant to Congress of power to govern territory was restricted by a specific provision of the Constitution. The territorial cases, in the emphasis put by them on the necessity for considering the specific circumstances of each particular case, are thus relevant in that they provide an illustrative method for harmonizing constitutional provisions which appear, separately considered, to be conflicting. The Court last term relied on a second source of authority, the consular court case, ''In re'' Ross (140 U. S. 453). Pursuant to a treaty with Japan, Ross, a British subject but a member of the crew of a United States ship, was tried and convicted in a consular court in Yokohama for murder of a fellow seaman while the ship was in Yokohama Harbor. His application for a writ of ''habeas corpus'' to a United States circuit court was denied, 44 F. 185, and on appeal here, the judgment was affirmed. This Court set forth the ground of the circuit court, “the long and uniform acquiescence by the executive, administrative, and legislative departments of the Government in the validity of the legislation,” 140th United States Reports, at page 461, and then stated: “The circuit court might have found an additional ground for not calling in question the legislation of Congress, in the uniform practice of civilized governments for centuries to provide consular tribunals in other than Christian countries * * * for the trial of their own subjects or citizens for offenses committed in those countries, as well as for the settlement of civil disputes between them; and in the uniform recognition, down to the time of the formation of our Government, of the fact that the establishment of such tribunals was among the most important subjects for treaty stipulations. * * * “The treatymaking power vested in our Government extends to all proper subjects of negotiation with foreign governments. It can, equally with any of the former or present governments of Europe, make treaties providing for the exercise of judicial authority in other countries by its officers appointed to reside therein. “We do not understand that any question is made by counsel as to its power in this respect. His objection is to the legislation by which such treaties are carried out * * *. “By the Constitution a government is ordained and established ‘for the United States of America,’ and not for countries outside of their limits. The guarantees it affords against accusation of capital or infamous crimes, except by indictment or presentment by a grand jury, and, for an impartial trial by a jury when thus accused, apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not to residents or temporary sojourners abroad. * * * The Constitution can have no operation in another country. When, therefore, the representatives or officers of our Government are permitted to exercise authority of any kind in another country, it must be on such conditions as the two countries may agree, the laws of neither one being obligatory upon the other. The deck of a private American vessel, it is true, is considered for many purposes constructively as territory of the United States, yet persons on board of such vessels, whether officers, sailors, or passengers, cannot invoke the protection of the provisions referred to until brought within the actual territorial boundaries of the United States.” (140 U. S., at 462–464.) One observation should be made at the outset about the grounds for decision in Ross. Insofar as the opinion expressed a view that the Constitution is not operative outside the United States—and apparently Mr. Justice Field meant by “United States” all lands over which the United States flag flew, see John W. Burgess, How May the United States Govern Its Extra-Continental Territory? (14 Pol. Sci. Q. 1 (1899))—it expressed a notion that has long since evaporated. Governmental action abroad is performed under both the authority and the restrictions of the Constitution—for example, proceedings before American military tribunals, whether in Great Britain or in the United States, are subject to the applicable restrictions of the Constitution. See opinions in ''Burns'' v. ''Wilson'' (346 U. S. 137). The significance of the Ross case and its relevance to the present cases cannot be assessed unless due regard is accorded the historical context in which that case was decided. Ross is not rooted in any abstract principle or comprehensive theory touching constitutional power or its restrictions. It was decided with reference to a very particular, practical problem with a long history. To be mindful of this does not attribute to Mr. Justice Field’s opinion some unavowed historical assumption. On behalf of the whole court, he spelled out the considerations that controlled it: “The practice of European governments to send officers to reside in foreign countries, authorized to exercise a limited jurisdiction over vessels and seamen of their country, to watch the interests of their countrymen and to assist in adjusting their disputes and protecting their commerce, goes back to a very early period, even preceding what are termed the Middle Ages. * * * In other than Christian countries they were, by treaty stipulations, usually clothed with authority to hear complaints against their countrymen and to sit in judgment upon them when charged with public offenses. After the rise of Islamism, and the spread of its followers over eastern Asia and other countries bordering on the Mediterranean, the exercise of this judicial authority became a matter of great concern. The intense hostility of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to Christians, affected all their intercourse, and all proceedings had in their tribunals. Even the rules of evidence adopted by them placed those of different faith on unequal grounds in any controversy with them. For this cause, and by reason of the barbarous and cruel punishments inflicted in those countries, and the frequent use of torture to enforce confession from parties accused, it was a matter of deep interest to Christian governments to withdraw the trial of their subjects, when charged with the commission of a public offence, from the arbitrary and despotic action of the local officials. Treaties conferring such jurisdiction upon these consuls were essential to the peaceful residence of Christians within those countries and the successful prosecution of commerce with their people.” One Hundred and Fortieth United States Reports, at page 463. “It is true that the occasion for consular tribunals in Japan may hereafter be less than at present, as every year that country progresses in civilization and in the assimilation of its system of judicial procedure to that of Christian countries, as well as in the improvement of its penal statutes; but the system of consular tribunals * * * is of the highest importance, and their establishment in other than. Christian countries, where our people may desire to go in pursuance of commerce, will often be essential for the protection of their persons and property” (''id.'', at 480). It is important to have a lively sense of this background before attempting to draw on the Ross case. Historians have traced grants of extraterritorial rights as far back as the permission given by Egypt in the 12th or 13th century {{asc|B. C.}} to the merchants of Tyre to establish factories on the Nile and to live under their own law and practice their own religion. Numerous other instances of persons living under their own law in foreign lands existed in the later pre-Christian era and during the Roman Empire and the so-called Dark and Middle Ages—Greeks in Egypt, all sorts of foreigners in Rome, inhabitants of Christian cities and states in the Byzantine Empire, the Latin kingdoms of the Levant, and other Christian cities and states, Mohammedans in the Byzantine Empire and China, and many others lived in foreign lands under their own law. While the origins of this extraterritorial jurisdiction may have differed in each country, the notion that law was for the benefit of the citizens of a country and its advantages not for foreigners appears to have been an important factor. Thus, there existed a long-established custom of extraterritorial jurisdiction at the beginning of the 15th century when the complete conquest of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks and the establishment of the Ottoman Empire substantially altered political relations between Christian Europe and the Near East. But commercial relations continued, and in 1535 Francis I. of France negotiated a treaty with Suleiman I. of Turkey that provided for numerous extraterritorial rights, including criminal and civil jurisdiction over all disputes among. French subjects. (1 Ernest Charriere, Negotiations de la France dans le Levant 283.) Other nations and eventually the United States in 1830 (8 Stat. 408), later negotiated similar treaties with the Turks. (For a more complete history of the development of extraterritorial rights and consular jurisdiction, see 1 Calvo, Le Droit International Theorique et Pratique (5th ed., Rousseau, 1896), 2–18, 2 ''id.'', 9–12; Hinckley, American Consular Jurisdiction in the Orient, 1–9; 1 Miltitz, Manuel des Consuls passim; Ravndal, The Origin of the Capitulations and of the Consular Jurisdiction, S. Doc. No. 34, 67th Cong., 1st sess. 5–45, 56–96; Shih Shun Liu, Extraterritoriality, 23–66; Twiss, The Law of Nations (1884 ed.), 443–457.) The emergence of the nation-state in Europe and the growth of the doctrine of absolute territorial sovereignty changed the nature of extraterritorial rights. No longer were strangers to be denied the advantages of local law. Indeed, territorial sovereignty meant the exercise of sovereignty over all residents within the borders of the state, and the system of extraterritorial consular jurisdiction tended to die out among Christian nations in the 18th and 19th centuries. But a new justification was found for the continuation of that jurisdiction in those countries whose systems of justice were considered inferior, and it was this strong feeling with respect to Moslem and Far Eastern countries that was reflected, as we have seen, in the Ross opinion. Until 1842, China had asserted control over all foreigners within its territory (Shih Shun Liu, ''op. cit.'', ''supra'', 76–89) but, as a result of the Opium War, Great Britain negotiated a treaty with China whereby she obtained consular offices in five open ports and was granted extraterritorial rights over her citizens. On July 3, 1844, Caleb Cushing negotiated a similar treaty on behalf of the United States (8 Stat. 592). In a letter to Secretary of State Calhoun, he explained: “I entered China with the formed general conviction that the United States ought not to concede to any foreign state, under any circumstances, jurisdiction over the life and liberty of a citizen of the United States, unless that foreign state be of our own family of nations—in a word a Christian state.” Quoted in 7 Op. Atty. Gen. 495, 496–497. Later treaties continued the extraterritorial rights of the United States, and the treaty of 1903 contained the following article demonstrating the purpose of those rights: “The Government of China having expressed a strong desire to reform its judicial system and to bring it into accord with that of western nations, the United States agrees to give every assistance to such reform and will also be prepared to relinquish extra-territorial rights when satisfied that the state of the Chinese laws, the arrangements for their administration, and other considerations warrant it in doing so” (33 Stat. 2208, 2215). The first treaty with Japan was negotiated by Commodore Perry in 1854 (11 Stat. 597). It opened two ports, but did not provide for any exercise of judicial powers by United States officials. Under the treaty of 1857 (11 Stat. 723), such power was given, and later treaties, which opened up further Japanese cities for trade and residence by United States citizens, retained these rights. The treaty of 1894, effective on July 17, 1899, however, ended these extraterritorial rights and Japan, even though a non-Christian nation, came to occupy the same status as Christian nations (29 Stat. 848). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction by consuls over United States citizens was also provided for, at one time or another, in treaties with Borneo (10 Stat. 909, 910); Siam (11 Stat. 683, 684); Madagascar (15 Stat. 491, 492); Samoan Islands (20 Stat. 704); Korea (23 Stat. 720, 721); Tonga Islands (25 Stat. 1440, 1442) and, by virtue of most-favored-nation clauses; in treaties with Tripoli (8 Stat. 154); Persia (11 Stat. 709); the Congo (27 Stat. 926); and Ethiopia (33 Stat. 2254). The exercise of criminal jurisdiction was also provided for in a treaty with Morocco (8 Stat. 100), by virtue of a most-favored-nation clause and by virtue of a clause granting jurisdiction if “any citizens of the United States * * * shall have any disputes with each other.” The word “disputes” has been interpreted by the International Court of Justice to comprehend criminal as well as civil disputes. ''France'' v. ''United States'' (I. C. J. Rept. 1952, p. 176, 188–189.) The treaties with Algiers (8 Stat. 133, 224, 244); Tunis (8 Stat. 157); and Muscat (8 Stat. 458) contained similar disputes clauses. The judicial power exercised by consuls was defined by statute and was sweeping: “Jurisdiction in both criminal and civil matters shall, in all cases, be exercised and enforced in conformity with the laws of the United States, which are hereby, so far as is necessary to execute such treaties, respectively, and so far as they are suitable to carry the same into effect, extended over all citizens of the United States in those countries, and over all others to the extent that the terms of the treaties, respectively, justify or require. But in all cases where such laws are not adapted to the object, or are deficient in the provisions necessary to furnish suitable remedies, the common law and the law of equity and admiralty shall be extended in like manner over such citizens and others in those countries; and if neither the common law, nor the law of equity or admiralty, nor the statutes of the United States, furnish appropriate and sufficient remedies, the ministers in those countries, respectively, shall, by decrees and regulations which shall have the force of law, supply such defects and deficiencies.” (Rev. Stat. sec. 4086.) The consuls, then, exercised not only executive and judicial power, but legislative power as well. The number of people subject to the jurisdiction of these courts during their most active periods appears to have been fairly small. In the Chronicle & Directory for China, Japan, and the Philippines, for the year 1870, there is a listing of the total number of foreign, not just United States, residents in these three places. The list is 81 pages long, with a total of some 4,500 persons (pp. 54–134). This same publication gives the following information about Japan. “The number of foreigners settled in Japan is as yet very small. At the end of the year 1862, the foreign community at Kanagawa, the principal of the three ports of Japan open to aliens, consisted of * * * 38 Americans * * * and in the latter part of 1864 the permanent foreign residents at Kanagawa had increased to 300, not counting soldiers, of which number * * * about 80 [were] Americans. * * * At Nagasaki, the second port of Japan thrown open to foreign trade by the Government, the number of alien settlers was as follows on the 1st of January 1866: * * * American citizens, 32. * * * A third port opened to European and American traders, that of Hakodadi, in the north of Japan, was deserted, after a lengthened trial, by nearly all the foreign merchants settled there * * *.” (Appendix, p. 353.) The statesman’s Yearbook of 1890 shows: China at the end of 1888: 1,020 Americans (p. 411); Japan in 1887, 711 Americans (p. 709); Morocco; 1889 estimate: “The number of Christians is very small, not exceeding 1,500” (p. 739). The Statesman’s Yearbook of 1901 shows: China at the end of 1899: 2,335 Americans (p. 484); Japan, December 31, 1898, just before the termination of our extraterritorial rights: 1,165 Americans (p. 809); Morocco: “The number of Christians does not exceed 6,000; the Christian population of Tangier alone probably amounts to 5,000” (p. 851). These figures of course do not include those civilians temporarily in the country coming within consular jurisdiction. The consular court jurisdiction, then, was exercised in countries whose legal systems at the time were considered so inferior that justice could not be obtained in them by our citizens. The existence of these courts was based on long-established custom and they were justified as the best possible means for securing justice for the few Americans present in those countries. The Ross case, therefore, arose out of, and rests on, very special, confined circumstances, and cannot be applied automatically to the present situation, involving hundreds of thousands of American citizens in countries with civilized systems of justice. If Congress had established consular courts or some other nonmilitary procedure for trial that did not contain all the protections afforded by article III. and the fifth and sixth amendments for the trial of civilian dependents of military personnel abroad, we would be forced to a detailed analysis of the situation of the civilian dependent population abroad in deciding whether the Ross case should be extended to cover such a case. It is not necessary to do this in the present cases in view of our decision that the form or trial here provided cannot constitutionally be justified. The Government, apparently recognizing the constitutional basis for the decision in Ross, has, on rehearing, sought to show that civilians in general and civilian dependents in particular have been subject to military order and discipline ever since the colonial period. The materials it has submitted seem too episodic, too meager, to form a solid basis in history, preceding and contemporaneous with the framing of the Constitution, for constitutional adjudication. What has been urged on us falls far too short of proving a well-established practice—to be deemed to be infused into the Constitution—of court-martial jurisdiction, certainly not in capital cases, over such civilians in time of peace.}} Mr. President, the decision which I have read in the {{sc|Record}} is in the case of Curtis Reid, Superintendent of the District of Columbia Jail, Appellant, against Clarice B. Covert, and Nina Kinsella, Warden of the Federal Reformatory for Women, Alderson, W. Va., petitioner, against Walter Krueger. The opinion, which was written by Mr. Justice Black, was concurred in by the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Douglas, and Mr. Justice Brennan. It pointed out clearly that even though the court-martial so provided, the jury trial could not be denied to civilians accompanying the Armed Forces. It is very clear on that point. There was a concurring opinion, which I have just included in the {{sc|Record}}, by Justice Frankfurter, which upholds that contention. There is no question that under the United States Constitution citizens are entitled to a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the discretion of a Federal judge to say whether he is going to grant a trial by jury. It cannot be left to the Congress to say that if the punishment is only a $300 fine or 45 days imprisonment we will let the judge try the case, but if it is above that the defendant can get a jury trial. That simply does not make sense. It violates the Constitution and is in derogation of the administration of justice in this country. As someone has said, it is a split-level statute. Mr. President, on May 9, 1957, before the mountain and plain regional meeting of the American Bar Association in Denver, Colo., Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., of the Supreme Court, made an address on our judicial systems. In this address he discussed the advantages of our traditional jury-trial system. Because of the clear, straightforward nature of this address, I want to quote the following statement made by Justice Brennan. This is what he said: {{smaller block|We hear much, for example, of the proposal that we turn all automobile-accident litigation over to an administrative agency. The idea is that, because automobile litigation accounts for a major part of court business, the simple solution is to dispose of the problem by throwing it out the window. What an abject abdication of our profession’s responsibility to provide judicial justice for our citizens. But, at best, there is utterly no hope for that idea, at least not in our lifetimes, when the job of judicial reform must be done. It will be a long day before our society will pay the price of damages for every automobile injury or death without regard to the fault of the person injured or killed. There is no true analogy between compensation for the injured workman who helps produce goods or services for profit, where the cost is passed on to the consumer in the price of the goods or services, and compensation to the automobile victim, where the cost would have to be borne by all of us. Another nostrum is that, because jury trials take more time than trials before a judge without a jury, the easy answer to calendar congestion is to get rid of jury trials in automobile accident cases. Actual studies are being made to prove that the average jury trial in a negligence case takes more time than a nonjury trial of a negligence case. I question the need for a study to prove something that every judge and lawyer knows. Of course jury trials usually take more time than nonjury trials. But those who propose this suggest also that fairer justice will result if a judge, unprejudiced for one side or the other—they really mean that juries are prejudiced in favor of plaintiffs—disposes of them. I doubt that that proposition can withstand analysis. As a trial judge I was always interested in how often the jury brought in the same verdict on liability that I would have reached. And that seems to be the experience of trial judges generally. A recent survey proved that in upwards of 85 percent of the cases the trial judge reported that the jury reached the result on liability that he would have reached. Moreover, the idea that juries go haywire in fixing damages where plaintiffs prevail should be looked at a little more closely. I think at least that judge-decided verdicts under the Federal Tort Claims Act (no jury trial is had under that act) do not persuade the Department of Justice that juries are any less conscientious in fixing damages. I know that at times juries do go overboard. But I can count on the fingers of one hand the instances in my time as a trial judge when I felt it necessary to set aside verdicts because they had done so. My experience left me with the definite impression that jurors almost always do try to fix damages within allowable limits. I think, at all events, this proposal to abolish jury trials in automobile accident cases also faces an almost insurmountable hurdle. The success of our British brothers in abolishing jury trials should not mislead us. American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. Perhaps the emotion generated by proposals to modify or deny the right has its roots in the Jacksonian era of distrust of the legal profession and the insistence upon the people’s control of the administration of justice. Perhaps it is a survival of the same thing which gave us the elective system of judges in most States and in some, as in my own, New Jersey, actual lay participation on the bench. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of the preservation of their liberties. The road of him who would take away jury trial in automobile accident cases is a long and rocky one. I submit that it is a sorry response to the litigant who suffers from long delay in having his accident suit tried that we can offer no relief beyond “let’s throw accident litigation out of the courts,” or “let’s deny the victim the right of a jury trial.” Our profession must stand up and reject those nostrums. We know now that there are judicial structures and techniques of judicial administration which not only can cope with problems of calendar control but to far more {{SIC|signficant|significant}} purposes can also measurably assist in our ceaseless striving to give better justice. Our need is to get up our courage to fight for these things and to do battle with the powerfully entrenched opponents of any reform who too often take their position out of self-interest without sufficient consideration of what is best in the people’s interest. It doubtless is true that achievement of a modernized, efficient judicial structure requires far-reaching legislative and constitutional changes in most jurisdictions. But, far better to do the arduous labor of getting that essential job done than to promote equally drastic changes which are nothing more than a humiliating confession of defeat. Let us not forget that the integrity and efficiency of the judicial process is the first essential in a democratic society. The confidence of the people in the administration of justice is a prime requisite for free representative government. The public entrusts the legal profession with the sacred mission of dealing with the vital affairs that affect the whole pattern of human relations and certainly has a stake entitling it to demand not only that judges dispense justice impartially and fairly but also that judicial business shall be handled and disposed of by a modernized process which assures a minimum of friction and waste, for such a process also plays a large role in the achievement of impartial and fair justice for all litigants. There is actually no difference between the business of judicial administration and the business of running an industrial or commercial enterprise in the sense that the efficient and businesslike conduct of each means better service for the public. An inefficient and wasteful judicial administration actually can and often does result in a denial of justice, however earnestly an honest and upright judge may strive to prevent that lamentable result. I think it is not difficult to account for today’s heightened interest on the part of the general public throughout our Nation and, indeed, the Free World in the improvement of the process for administering justice. That growing interest is in large measure a product of the tumultuous times in which we live. For these are not only times which have produced a monstrous threat to all freedom, but, by the very reason of that threat, are times which have induced in free peoples everywhere an ever intensifying critical self-examination of the institutions upon which their freedoms depend—an insistence upon exposure of the imperfections of those institutions, a peremptory demand upon those who are entrusted with those institutions to improve and strengthen them the more surely to withstand the onslaught bent upon their destruction. It is but natural then that the judicial process should come under examination, for never was it more true than today that “Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.”}} Mr. President, I submit, just as Justice Brennan has quoted here, which never was more true than today: {{smaller block|Justice, sirs, is the chiefest interest of man on earth.}} I contend that since our forefathers placed in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights provisions which are so plain it seems no one could misinterpret them, providing for trial by jury in criminal cases, there can be no question that jury trials are not only desirable but are demanded under the Constitution. There should be no doubt in the mind of anyone, if he studies the Constitution, that the so-called compromise which tends to compromise the Constitution of the United States is not a just, is not a fair, is not a wise, and is not a constitutional provision, and that this bill should be killed. Mr. President, one of the most interesting books ever written on the American system of Government was by Alexis de Tocqueville, a young Frenchman who wrote a book entitled “Democracy in America” after visiting this country during the 1830s. One of the chapters of his book was entitled “Trial by Jury in the United States Considered as a Political Institution.” I shall read excerpts from this chapter because it provides an excellent insight into the prestige attained by the system of jury trial from the observation of an unbiased observer. {{smaller block|[From de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America,” written after visiting America in the 1830s.] {{c|{{sc|Trial by Jury in the United States Constitution as a Political Institution}}}} Trial by jury, which is one of the forms of the sovereignty of the people, ought to be compared with the other laws which establish that sovereignty: Composition of the jury in the United States; effect of trial by jury upon the national character; it educates the people; how it tends to establish the influence of the magistrates and to extend the legal spirit among the people. Since my subject has led me to speak of the administration of justice in the United States, I will not pass over it without referring to the institution of the jury. Trial by jury may be considered in two separate points of view: as a judicial, and as a political institution. * * * My present purpose is to consider the jury as a political institution; any other course would divert me from my subject. Of trial by jury considered as a judicial institution I shall here say but little. When the English adopted trial by jury, they were a semi-barbarous people; they have since become one of the most enlightened nations of the earth, and their attachment to this institution seems to have increased with their increasing cultivation. They have emigrated and colonized every part of the habitable globe; some have formed colonies, others independent states; the mother country has maintained its monarchial constitution; many of its offspring have founded powerful republics; but everywhere they have boasted of the privilege of trial by jury. They have established it, or hastened to reestablish it, in all their settlements. A judicial institution which thus obtains the suffrages of a great people for so long a series of ages, which is zealously reproduced at every stage of civilization, in all the climates of the earth, and under every form of human {{SIC|govment|government}}, cannot be contrary to the spirit of justice. But to leave this part of the subject. It would be a very narrow view to look upon the jury as a mere judicial institution; for however great its influence may be upon the decisions of the courts, it is still greater on the destinies of society at large. The jury is, above all, a political institution, and it must be regarded in this light in order to be duly appreciated. By the jury I mean a certain number of citizens chosen by lot and invested with a temporary right of judging. Trial by jury, as applied to the repression of crime, appears to me an eminently republican element in the government, for the following reasons. The institution of the jury may be aristocratic or democratic, according to the class from which the jurors are taken; but it always preserves its republican character, in that it places the real direction of society in the hands of the governed, or of a portion of the governed, and not in that of the government. Force is never more than a transient element of success, and after force comes the notion of right. A government able to reach its enemies only upon a field of battle would soon be destroyed. The true sanction of political laws is to be found in penal legislation; and if that sanction is wanting, the law will sooner or later lose its cogency. He who punishes the criminal is therefore the real master of society. Now, the institution of the jury raises the people itself, or at least a class of citizens, to the bench of judges. The institution of the jury consequently invests the people, or that class of citizens, with the direction of society. In England the jury is selected from the aristocratic portion of the nation; the aristocracy makes the laws, applies the laws, and punishes infractions of the laws; everything is established upon a consistent footing, and England may with truth be said to constitute an aristocratic republic. In the United States the same system is applied to the whole people. Every American citizen is both an eligible and a legally qualified voter. The jury system as it is understood in America appears to me to be as direct and as extreme a consequence of the sovereignty of the people as universal suffrage. They are two instruments of equal power, which contribute to the supremacy of the majority. All the sovereigns who have chosen to govern by their own authority, and to direct society instead of obeying its directions, have destroyed or enfeebled the institution of the jury. The Tudor monarchs sent to prison jurors who refused to convict, and Napoleon caused them to be selected by his agents. However clear most of these truths may seem to be, they do not command universal assent; and in France, at least, trial by jury is still but imperfectly understood. If the question arises as to the proper qualification of jurors, it is confined to a discussion of the intelligence and knowledge of the citizens who may be returned, as if the jury was merely a judicial institution. This appears to me the least important part of the subject. The jury is preeminently a political institution; it should be regarded as one form of the sovereignty of the people; when that sovereignty is repudiated, it must be rejected, or it must be adapted to the laws by which that sovereignty is established. The jury is that portion of the nation to which the execution of the laws is entrusted, as the legislature is that part of the nation which makes the laws; and in order that society may be governed in a fixed and uniform manner, the list of citizens qualified to serve on juries must increase and diminish with the list of electors. This I hold to be the point of view most worthy of the attention of the legislator; all that remains is merely accessory. I am so entirely convinced that the jury is preeminently a political institution that I still consider it in this light when it is applied in civil causes. Laws are always unstable unless they are founded upon the customs of a nation; customs are the only durable and resisting power in a people. When the jury is reserved for criminal offenses, the people witness only its occasional action in particular cases; they become accustomed to do without it in the ordinary course of life, and it is considered as an instrument, but not as the only instrument, of obtaining justice. When, on the contrary, the jury acts also on civil causes, its application is constantly visible; it affects all the interests of the community; everyone cooperates in its work; it thus penetrates into all the usages of life, it fashions the human mind to its peculiar forms, and is gradually associated with the idea of justice itself. The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger; but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings, it defies the aggressions of time and man. If it had been as easy to remove the jury from the customs as from the laws of England, it would have perished under the Tudors, and the civil jury did in reality at that period save the liberties of England. In whatever manner the jury be applied, it cannot fail to exercise a powerful influence upon the national character; but this influence ts prodigiously increased when it is introduced into civil causes. The jury, and more especially the civil jury, serves to communicate the spirit of the judges to the minds of all the citizens; and this spirit, with the habits which attend it, is the soundest preparation for free institutions. It imbues all classes with a respect for the thing judged and with the notion of right. If these two elements be removed, the love of independence becomes a mere destructive passion. It teaches men to practice equity; every man learns to judge his neighbor as he would himself be judged. And this is especially true of the jury in civil causes; for while the number of persons who have reason to apprehend a criminal prosecution is small, everyone is liable to have a lawsuit. The jury teaches every man not to recoil before the responsibility of his own actions and impresses him with that manly confidence without which no political virtue can exist. It invests each citizen with a kind of magistracy; it makes them all feel the duties which they are bound to discharge toward society and the part which they take in its government. By obliging men to turn their attention to other affairs than their own, it rubs off that private selfishness which is the rust of society. The jury contributes powerfully to form the judgment and to increase the natural intelligence of a people; and this, in my opinion, is its greatest advantage. It may be regarded as a gratuitous public school, ever open, in which every juror learns his rights, enters into daily communication with the most learned and enlightened members of the upper classes, and becomes practically acquainted with the laws, which are brought within the reach of his capacity by the efforts of the bar, the advice of the judge, and even the passions of the parties. I think that the practical intelligence and political good sense of the Americans are mainly attributable to the long use that they have made of the jury in civil causes. I do not know whether the jury is useful to those who have lawsuits, but I am certain it is highly beneficial to those who judge them; and I look upon it as one of the most efficacious means for the education of the people which society can employ. What I have said applies to all nations, but the remark I am about to make is peculiar to the Americans and to democratic communities. I have already observed that in democracies the members of the legal profession and the judicial magistrates constitute the only aristocratic body which can moderate the movements of the people. This aristocracy is invested with no physical power; it exercises its conservative influence upon the minds of men; and the most abundant source of its authority is the institution of the civil jury. In criminal causes, when society is contending against a single man, the jury is apt to look upon the judge as the passive instrument of social power and to mistrust his advice. Moreover, criminal causes turn entirely upon simple facts, which commonsense can readily appreciate; upon this ground the judge and the jury are equal. Such is not the case, however, in civil causes; then the judge appears as a disinterested arbiter between the conflicting passions of the parties. The jurors look up to him with confidence and listen to him with respect, for in this instance, his intellect entirely governs theirs. It is the judge who sums up the various arguments which have wearied their memory, and who guides them through the devious course of the proceedings; he points their attention to the exact question of fact that they are called upon to decide and tells them how to answer the question of law. His influence over them is almost unlimited. If I am called upon to explain why I am but little moved by the arguments derived from the ignorance of jurors in civil causes, I reply that in these proceedings, whenever the question to be solved is not a mere question of fact, the jury has only the semblance of a judicial body. The jury only sanctions the decision of the judge; they sanction this decision by the authority of society which they represent, and he by that of reason and of law. The jury, then, which seems to restrict the rights of the judiciary does in reality consolidate its power; and in no country are the judges so powerful as where the people share their privileges. It is especially by means of the jury in civil causes that the American magistrates imbue even the lower classes of society with the spirit of their profession. Thus the jury, which is the most energetic means of making the people rule, is also the most efficacious means of teaching it how to rule well.}} Mr. President, de Tocqueville contributed a great deal to literature and to society. He was a Frenchman who came to our country and studied our form of government. He was so impressed that he wrote the chapter on trial by jury, in which he emphasized the fact that the jury is the heart of the administration of justice in a democracy. On Friday, July 5, 1957, there was printed in the State, a newspaper published in Columbia, S. C., an article quoting the then president of the American Bar Association, Mr. David F. Maxwell, on the subject of jury trials. I believe Mr. Maxwell is a member of the Philadelphia bar, of which our distinguished Presiding Officer [Mr. {{sc|Clark}}] is also a member. I am sure that the Presiding Officer, as well as the Senate, will be interested in what Mr. Maxwell had to say on the subject of jury trials, and that the views expressed by him will be of interest to everyone who believes in constitutional government. I read as follows: {{smaller block|The president of the American Bar Association today answered charges that trial by jury is an outmoded, time-consuming process which can be replaced by more efficient legal procedure. David F. Maxwell, of Philadelphia, who heads the lawyers organization, said instead that jury trials are the ultimate protection against invasion of personal freedom. He spoke at the diamond jubilee celebration of the State Bar of Texas. “Too many persons today are prone to view trial by jury solely as a factfinding device, and hence expendable, if as good or better a method can be devised,” he said. These critics are influenced, Maxwell said, by the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote that an experienced judge should be able to represent the commonsense of the community far better than the average jury. The Pennsylvania attorney said, “Such a contention presupposes the ability of the trial judge to discard foibles and prejudices built up within himself through his personal experience and background,” adding that a group of average citizens can mete out more even justice than can the most competent and experienced judge. “So let us in this country take warning,” he said. “The jury alone is able to function as the thin wedge of reserved power that separates our system of law from the monolithic, totalitarian despotism behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.”}} Mr. President, an editorial appeared in the Greenville (S. C.) News of June 6, 1957. It is entitled “Jury Trial Is at Heart of Rights Issue” and has this to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|The day after it was reported from Washington that the administration would protest the southern claim that the so-called civil-rights bill would deny the right to trial by jury, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate approved an amendment intended to guarantee that right to persons who might come under an injunction authorized in the proposed law. In his several appearances before the Senate and House committees studying the various proposals, Attorney General Brownell tried to claim that a trial by jury would not be denied. He had rough going, and at times was downright evasive, when Senator {{sc|Sam. J. Ervin}}, of North Carolina, began to cross-examine him on his statements. Senator {{sc|Ervin}}, an eminent lawyer and a former member of his State’s supreme court, is of the opinion that trial by jury not only would not be guaranteed under the bills as submitted, but could be denied. Certainly, it would be possible for the courts to deny a jury hearing and a judge, if he chose, could sit in judgment on the testimony as well as the law. Speaking for the administration, Attorney General Brownell is taking his case to the House of Representatives, but the action of the Senate committee on Monday indicates that even a number of northern Democrats and Republicans have been convinced of the facts. The jury trial issue came up in this way: Among the bills included in the civil rights packages (various versions of which have been offered by the administration and by individuals and groups of Democratic and Republican Members of Congress) is one which would set up a special civil rights division of the Department of Justice. It would be manned by a number of assistants to the Attorney General and would have the authority to initiate civil suits against persons accused of violating the civil rights of others or whom it might have reason to believe were about to violate such rights. (At present, it is a criminal offense to violate the civil rights of another. But a person accused of violating such laws has the right to be arraigned before a grand jury and to be tried by a petit jury.) The administration proposal—and members of both parties have supported this or made similar proposals of their own—is to transfer civil rights cases from the criminal to the civil side of the Federal courts. The Government itself would bring such suits, with or without the request of the allegedly injured persons. The Government could ask for and obtain an injunction forbidding anyone to do certain things, such as to refuse a voting certificate to a certain person or to oppose an integration order issued against a certain school. Such action on the part of the defendant might be a violation of an injunction or it might be a violation of a criminal law on civil rights. But in such cases, the Government would bring the individual before the judge on a charge of contempt. And the judge could convict and sentence the individual without a trial by jury. That is what prompted the southern amendment to the bill aimed at assuring a jury trial. And that is the principle Mr. Brownell is assailing in his statements to Congress. He does not deny that trial by jury would be denied the defendants. He merely says the amendment would make the bill ineffective and would weaken the power of the Federal courts to enforce their orders. He says this power to punish for contempt has long been available to the Government in other Federal cases. That much is true. When the Government brings a civil suit and obtains an injunction, contempt can be adjudged and punished without a jury. But these are cases entirely different from those Mr. Brownell proposes to bring in the name of civil rights. In this instance, Mr. Brownell is trying to do in a roundabout way what the Constitution forbids him to do directly; that is, try and convict a person for an alleged crime without a jury.}} Mr. President, here is an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of April 17, 1957. It is entitled “Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} Understands Threat to Liberty in Civil-Rights Bill” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Speaking at the annual banquet of the Hibernian Society in Charleston, March 18, 1947, Senator {{sc|Joseph C. O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, stressed the fact that the United States has repudiated the doctrine of arbitrary power. This week, 10 years after he made this statement, Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} gave evidence that he believes what he said. The Democratic Senator lined up with southern critics of the so-called civil-rights bill. He said he was in favor of a civil-rights bill but one that is conceived in justice and freedom rather than in any thought of punishment. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} told reporters that the proposed Presidential Civil Rights Commission to investigate complaints of civil-rights violations could easily do more harm than good. And with respect to another part of the bill vigorously opposed by southern Senators, he said, “I don’t think we should be afraid of a jury trial in matters of this kind.” In announcing his stand on the legislation, he said that the South has made many striking advances in racial relations, while such relations in some other parts of the country have worsened. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}’s stand on the civil-rights bill is of major significance. His statement shows that the South is gaining ground in its battle to convince other regions that the force bills are a threat to the liberties of all Americans. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is not a western conservative like, say, Senator {{sc|Barry Goldwater}}, Republican, of Arizona, who might be expected to line up with southern conservatives. The Senator from Wyoming is a western liberal and an old-time supporter of the New Deal. Hence his acceptance of some of the southern constitutional arguments is all the more meaningful. If Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}} is convinced that the right to jury trial and other parts of our heritage are being threatened by the civil-rights bill, the likelihood of convincing other northern and western Senators is considerable. In order to overcome the propaganda barriers of the NAACP and convince these Senators, the South must continue to argue its case—and on the highest level. Senator {{sc|Sam Ervin}} of North Carolina has done especially fine work this session in accomplishing just that. The other task facing southerners is that of insisting on respect for law and order throughout our region. The enemies of the South must not have any excuse for urging Federal intervention. Hoodlumism must be put down. The ignorant elements who join the Ku Klux Klan must be made to realize they are under the eyes of local and State police. Responsible men must stay active in movements such as the citizens council, and prevent infiltration by troublemakers or hotheads. If the South can speak with dignity in Washington and act with honesty and good sense at home, there will be more Senator O’Mahoneys who will realize southerners are fighting the good fight for American liberties.}} Mr. President, here is another article from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Trial by Jury Right of All Americans” and it appears in the June 5, 1957, issue of the News and Courier, and has this to say: {{smaller block|A guaranty of trial by jury, squeezed into a civil-rights law by vote of a Senate subcommittee, has been hailed as a southern victory. This victory—though it is little more than solace in a string of defeats—in fact belongs to the American Republic. Southerners are not alone in danger. If the Federal Government can deprive southerners of the right of trial by jury, on the ground that they are unfair to Negroes, it can do the same to citizens of other regions on equally flimsy grounds. Thanks to the NAACP and its political allies, defense of Negroes’ civil rights is popular today. Even at the sacrifice of rights of all citizens, restrictive laws have won serious support. The News and Courier finds biting irony in the need for Congress to guarantee the right of trial by jury. Americans have been brought up in the belief that the United States Constitution meant what it said in guaranteeing them this right. Nowadays, the ruling clique no longer trusts ordinary people to govern themselves. Juries, they fear, will bring in unjust verdicts. The bosses prefer to entrust such delicate matters as civil rights to hand-picked Federal judges, who are screened by the Department of Justice and appointed by the President. With both national parties committed to the NAACP program, no lawyer who takes a strong stand against that program stands much chance of appointment. As older judges die or retire, Attorney General Brownell will make sure, insofar as he is able, that replacements have a “liberal” view of race. With administration of election laws removed from the hands of elected State officials and placed under Federal appointees, government is being removed ever further from the people. The jury system, safeguard of Anglo–Saxon liberty, may yet be a victim of alien notions now gathering power in our Republic.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the May 10, 1957, issue of the Charleston, (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “The Civil-Rights Fight and Trial-by-Jury Issue” and was written by the distinguished southern newspaperman, Dr. John Temple Graves. Here is what it has to say on the jury-trial issue: {{smaller block|{{bc|<poem>{{fqm|“}}Backward, turn backward, O Time in thy flight * * *”</poem>}} Time accommodates.

Admitting that the trial-by-jury issue has come to dominate the civil-rights fight, the magazine pontificated that “the contempt citation is the judiciary’s historic enforcement tool.” It avowed that “jury trials in contempt cases have absolutely no basis in equity or constitutional law and precious little legislative sanction.” The trick in this extraordinary statement is in Time’s small print at the bottom of the page. It explains that “with a single exception (the Norris–La Gaurdia Act covering labor disputes) trial by jury has never been required in contempt cases to which the United States has been a party.” With the United States Government proposing now to be a party to just about everything in heaven, earth, and the waters beneath—a new situation exists. The Constitution loves the principle of trial by jury and says so over and over again. That great basic principle, rather than any technicality, is what is involved for the South. Call it contempt or something else, let the Government be a party or not a party, what concerns us and what concerned the makers of the Constitution is that citizens in handcuffs shall not be adjudged by those who put the handcuffs on them, that the right of an accused to be properly tried in the Anglo–Saxon ideal shall not be abridged in the name of contempt or participation of the Government. The Constitution speaks for this principle in article 3. The fifth amendment speaks for it, and the sixth, and the seventh. Nothing in the whole instrument is more emphatic.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the April 8, 1957, issue of South, the news magazine of Dixie. It is entitled “Force Bill ‘Liberals’ Would Kill Jury Trial.” Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|It is incredible that those who like to boast that they are liberals and protectors of individual rights are crying the loudest for the currently misnamed civil-rights legislation which would deny alleged violators the right to trial by jury. The politically inspired anti-South force bill package has induced such a state of hypnosis in the self-styled liberals that they want to replace constitutional guarantees of civil liberties with their own false notions of civil rights. If the question of race were not at issue, the very people who are pressing for passage of this abominable travesty on constitutional principle would be the first to denounce it for discarding the sacred right of trial by jury. At the outset the legislation violates the rights spelled out in article III., section 3, and by the seventh amendment, one of the historic ten making up the Bill of Rights. It would empower the United States Attorney General to seek injunctions against persons suspected of being about to violate the so-called civil-rights measure. Then a Federal judge, acting also as prosecutor and jury, would decree a whole community or State in contempt. An individual cited for contempt would be tried without a jury by the judge who cited him. The proponents of this evil proposal know exactly what they are doing. By design they are taking away the right of jury trial. In fact, they are bold to say that if they did not set aside the right of trial by jury, they could not get convictions in the South. To allow jury trials, they say, would be to gut the bill. Attorney General Brownell is horror-struck at the thought that the no-jury-trial provision be stricken. President Eisenhower, who violates a campaign pledge made at Miami by pushing this legislation, says he would have to get Brownell’s opinion as to whether to sign or veto a civil-rights bill containing the assurance of jury trial in contempt cases. The civil strife proponents protest that this guaranty—in the Constitution which Eisenhower, Brownell, and all Congressmen are sworn to uphold—would cripple the bill. Has the President so soon forgotten that he said at Miami, 2 weeks before the election, that civil-rights problems should be handled to the greatest extent on a local and State basis? Surely our liberals know that Hitler, Mussolini, and all tyrants from the time of King John (until forced to sign the Magna Carta) opposed jury trials because they would cripple their programs.}} Mr. President, I have an article from the April 14, 1957, issue of the Greenville, S. C., News. It is entitled “Jackie Robinson on Meet the Press: Negro Athlete Favors Jury Trials” and has this to say: {{smaller block|Jackie Robinson, Negro baseball star, when asked if he favored jury trials for civil-rights defendants, said Sunday night he would personally prefer a jury trial. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People strongly opposes a jury trial guaranty in criminal injunction cases arising under the bill. Robinson is leading the NAACP’s freedom-fund campaign for a million dollars to attain first-class citizenship for all members. The former Brooklyn Dodger told an NBC Meet the Press television panel that he did not know what the million dollars would be spent for—possibly for lawsuits against school segregation. He said he favored the civil-rights bill but knows very little about it. Frank Van Der Linden, this newspaper’s Washington correspondent, asked the questions about the civil-rights bill.}} This is a man, Mr. President, who favors the civil-rights bill, but even he says he favors a trial by jury. That is what the House did on this so-called compromise. In effect, they have nullified the right of trial by jury. There are very, very few instances in which a judge, when he finds a man guilty of contempt, would give a sentence of more than 45 days in prison or a fine of more than $300. That simply means the practical effect is that the jury trial has been completely nullified. As I have said earlier, and as I will say later in my address, the right of jury trial is something the Constitution grants to the citizens of the United States. The Congress does not have the authority to take the jury trial away from the people of America. Mr. President, I have an excerpt from an editorial from the August 26, 1957, issue of the Columbia (S. C.) Record. It is entitled “Jury-Trial Compromise No Compromise,” and this is what it has to say: {{smaller block|The “compromise” on the jury-trial amendment to the civil-rights bill, worked out between the House and Senate leaders of both parties, is anything but a genuine compromise. It is a nullification of the jury-trial principle, for which the southern Democrats fought so valiantly in the Senate. The amendment written into the bill by the Senate provided that in all cases of criminal contempt defendants should be entitled to jury trials, guaranteed by the Constitution to all persons accused of crime. This applied not only to criminal contempt charges growing out of voting-right cases, but also to other criminal contempt proceedings as well. The so-called compromise allows jury trials only in voting-rights cases and then only after a defendant has been tried and convicted without a jury trial and sentenced to more than 45 days’ imprisonment and a $300 fine. In such a case the defendant could ask for a jury trial and the case would then be tried ''de novo'' before a jury. But no jury, of course, could try such a case ''de novo'' in fact. Every juror would know that the defendant had been found guilty by a judge and given more than a minimum sentence. This is a condition precedent to a jury trial in these voting-right cases. And no jury trial under such circumstances is anything approaching the right of trial by jury guaranteed by the Constitution.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the August 25, 1957, issue of the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. It is entitled “Jury Trial ‘Compromise’ Is False Bait in Wicked Trap for Liberty,” and here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|A proposed compromise now pending in Congress is as wicked and immoral, in our opinion, as total denial of trial by jury under Federal election laws. Reports from Washington indicate a likelihood that the civil rights force bill may be rammed through Congress with this compromise to grease the way. Perhaps the northern scrambles for Negro votes and their “liberal” southern allies have the power in Congress to enact this hateful law. They should not get even silent support from anyone who loves the American Republic. The compromise is really no compromise at all. It would grant the opportunity to seek a new trial before a jury by a defendant in an election case who had received a sentence greater than a $1,000 fine or 45 days in jail.}} The amount there, incidentally, Mr. President, should be corrected. Instead of a $1,000 fine, it should be a $300 fine. {{smaller block|But the size of a fine and the duration of imprisonment are not the key issue in this legislation. Penalties may be amended once the principle is set up. Besides, imprisoning State election officials even for a short time could rig the outcome of voting. The key issue here is whether the liberty of a citizen, and the constitutional rights of the States to conduct free elections, should be sacrificed for the sake of current political advantage of national parties and politicians.}} As I have said before, Mr. President—to digress there—the only purpose of this so-called right-to-vote bill is to advance the cause of the national political parties with the minorities and to advance the cause of certain politicians. If it were not for the purpose of both parties playing to the minorities and advancing the cause of certain politicians to high offices, I do not believe this bill would ever have been introduced. It is a disgrace to the United States even to have the Congress consider such an abominable and obnoxious bill. {{smaller block|Behind this force bill lies a game of power politics. Both national parties are struggling to control the votes of herded Negroes in big northern cities and their liberal allies. These bloc voters are believed to hold the balance of political power in the United States. Buried beneath the nauseating political greed that has produced this force bill are principles once dear to Americans. The bill has many of the earmarks of totalitarian government that the Constitution was built to prevent.}} Among these earmarks are Federal control of elections, seizing the power of the ballot box from the people most likely to be affected; substitution of judges for juries in enforcement of the law; and secrecy in working up prosecutions. The bill would set up a powerful commission on the phony pretense of guarding voting rights of minority groups. This Commission’s actions would be shielded from public view. Persons are forbidden under penalties to make known what it is doing. The Star Chamber—a tyrannous device once used by English Kings—thus would be imposed for the first time on the United States. Southerners may be overwhelmed by superior force, but they should go down fighting every step of the way. In honorable defeat they may sound an alarm to fellow Americans not yet awake to dangers to the Republic. Passage of the civil-rights force bill would be a defeat for all citizens of whatever race or region, for it would help to set the stage for dictatorship and oppression. The compromise on which passage now seems to hinge is only a deceptive detail in a dirty business.}} Mr. President, I have here an excellent editorial from the Washington Evening Star of July 12, 1957. It is an editorial full of quotes, but the editor made his point well in this editorial without even having to insert his own comments. Here is what the editorial says: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Brownell}} ''v.'' {{sc|Norris}}}} Attorney General Brownell (in a letter explaining the civil-rights bill): “Enactment of legislation providing for jury trial in contempt cases arising out of governmental litigation would undermine the authority of the Federal courts by seriously weakening their power to enforce their lawful orders. The effect of adopting current proposals for jury trial would be to weaken and undermine the authority of the Federal courts by making their every order, even when issued after due hearing and affirmed on appeal, reviewable by a local jury. * * * “Furthermore the proposed amendment to existing procedures that is being advocated under the innocuous slogan of jury trial would permit practical nullification of the effectiveness of the proposed civil-rights legislation. The enforcement of any court order may require prompt and vigorous action if it is to be effective. Prompt action will often be vital in civil-rights cases, especially election cases, where the registration period or the election may pass while enforcement is delayed. The injection of a jury trial between an order of a court enjoining discrimination against Negroes in an election, and the enforcement of that order would provide numerous opportunities for delay beyond the time when the order could have practical effect.” The late Senator George W. Norris (insisting on the right of trial by jury, by Congressional enactment, in every case of indirect contempt): “I agree that any man charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.”}} I wish to repeat that statement. He said: {{smaller block|I agree that any many charged with contempt in any court of the United States * * * in any case, no matter what it is, ought to have a jury trial.}} Under the proposed compromise amendment which came from the House, the people will not get a jury trial. In 99 percent of the cases the judge will sentence people without a jury trial. It is said, “Well, they are able to get a jury trial if the fine is more than $300 or if the imprisonment is for more than 45 days.” That is not the point. The point is that in 99 percent of the cases the compromise would deny to the citizens a jury trial, which is guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Congress should not be a party to violating the Constitution of the United States by passing the compromise amendment. I continue to read from the editorial: {{smaller block|“It is no answer to say that there will sometimes be juries which will not convict. That is a charge which can be made against our jury system. Every man who has tried lawsuits before juries, every man who has ever presided in court and heard jury trials, knows that juries make mistakes, as all other human beings do, and they sometimes render verdicts which seem almost obnoxious. But it is the best system I know of. I would not have it abolished; and when I see how juries will really do justice when a biased and prejudiced judge is trying to lead them astray I am confirmed in my opinion that, after all, our jury system is one which the American people, who believe in liberty and justice, will not dare to surrender. I like to have trial by jury preserved in all kinds of cases where there is a dispute of facts.”}} Mr. President, I have before me an editorial from the Greenville (S. C.) News of March 29, 1957, entitled “How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?” It reads: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|How Secure Is Right of Jury Trial?}}}} Rather smugly, perhaps, we Americans have taken for granted our right to a trial before a jury when we stand accused of violating the law. So fixed in our system of jurisprudence and our common concepts of justice is the jury trial that few of us ever have stopped to consider the difference between having our guilt or innocence determined by a group of ordinary citizens and having a judge, a creature of the Government, mete out justice singlehandedly, as he alone sees it. Article III., section 2 of the United States Constitution, says that “the trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment, article VI. of the Bill of Rights, spells out further the right to the accused in criminal proceedings “to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. * * *” It goes on to guarantee the accused the right to be informed specifically of the charges against him, to confront the witnesses against him, to subpena witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel. The seventh amendment, article VII. of the Bill of Rights, provides that in suits at common law the right of trial by jury shall be preserved. One would think that, with all these references in the Constitution, the right to a jury trial would be secure. But liberal elements, including our own Department of Justice, advocating passage of proposed civil-rights legislation are teaching us that this basic right is not so secure as we might have thought. For the bills now before the Congress would, in fact, deny persons accused of violating the civil rights of others the right of a trial by a jury of citizens of their State and district. And the NAACP and Attorney General Brownell are insisting on this provision of the bill. Attempts of southern Senators and Congressmen to write into it a guaranty of that right have thus far been beaten down. If the bill is enacted, the Government would be empowered to bring civil, rather than criminal charges, against an individual accused of violating someone else’s rights. He would be prosecuted by a Government attorney before a Federal judge, who might be sent in from outside his State, who would pass on the facts as well as the law and would pass sentence. The accused would be just as apt to go to jail on the civil charge as he would if he were charged with a criminal offense in which the jury trial would be guaranteed. Indeed, the chances of his going to jail might be even greater. But that is only part of it. The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint. If the individual did complain, the Government would bear the whole cost of prosecuting his case. The defendant, on the other hand, would find himself faced with the necessity of hiring a lawyer and, perhaps, of going through a long series of court proceedings that could very well break him financially. This could become vicious persecution instead of reasonable prosecution. This threat of persecution is no less real in another phase of the proposed civil-rights legislation relating to the creation of a commission empowered to investigate alleged incidents of discrimination, economic boycotts, and the like. If this plan became a reality, a citizen accused of discriminating against a member of a minority, or of applying economic pressure against him, could be ordered to report to a place in Washington at a given time and be subjected to an investigation. His need for counsel and, hence, the expense of defending himself, could be just as great as it would be if he were accused of some crime. All of this is being proposed in the name of civil rights by persons calling themselves liberals. How can we create rights by destroying rights? And how liberal is it?}} Mr. President, I wish to repeat a paragraph in the editorial which I believe is most important. It should appeal to every lawyer, and, in fact, to every citizen. It reads: {{smaller block|The bill would create a new division in the Justice Department with an unlimited number of lawyers employed to investigate and bring civil-rights suits. This division could bring suit in behalf of a named plaintiff, even though that individual had never raised a complaint.}} Mr. President, I believe we are setting a very dangerous precedent when the Government can bring suits of the kind provided in the civil-rights bill, even if an individual does not complain. The Government can file a suit in behalf of an individual, even if the individual has not complained, and it can bring a suit for an individual who has complained. In either case, the Government can substitute its name in behalf of the defendant in bringing the case. Furthermore, the Government would bear the cost of prosecuting the case. The poor defendant must pay his own expense. If an individual wishes to bring a case in court, why should he not pay his own expense? Why should the Federal Government bear the expense of a person whose statement may be true or which may not be true? I can foresee untold litigation. I can see all kinds of fabrications being made in order to have cases brought. It is a dangerous bill, Mr. President. It is far more dangerous than I believe the average man on the street has been able to understand. The average man in the street does not realize what is in the bill. I cannot imagine why Members of Congress would even consider passing such a bill. Again I say that it would not even have been introduced, in my opinion, or given any consideration at all, if it were not purely a political bill. Mr. President, I have an editorial published in the Greenville (S. C.) News of February 26, 1957, entitled “Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty.” {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Civil-Rights Bills Threaten Liberty}}}} ({{sc|Editor’s Note}}.—The following editorial is taken from a statement prepared by the editor of the News at the request of the Governor of South Carolina. The statement is to be offered to the subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee this afternoon by representatives of this State who are appearing in opposition to the civil-rights bills.) The civil-rights bills of 1957, like those proposed during the last 20 years and more by individuals of both parties and by administrations of both parties, are anachronistic. An anachronism is something that is misplaced in time. In this instance, it is a throwback to a more primitive age which is, at best, a misfit and, at worst, a destructive force in the age in which it occurs. And when intelligent and otherwise dedicated men ignore more pressing and more serious problems and pass up greater opportunities for service to deliberately create such an anachronism, the result is bound to be tragic. Even if we could assume, which we cannot, that the broad and untested powers these proposed laws would confer on an already oversized and unwieldy Federal bureaucracy would always be wisely and fairly administered, the need for them, if it ever existed, has long since passed. The purposes now claimed for them have been better served by processes springing from the people themselves than ever they can be by pressure and threat of punishment imposed upon the people by an omnipotent and omnipresent “Big Brother” sort of government. Furthermore, the instruments now proposed to protect liberty and to uplift men are such as to be capable of being used to destroy liberty and to oppress men. To appreciate the origin of the civil-rights bills and the natural resistance to them in many parts of the country, especially the South, one must consider them in their proper perspective with past history and present trends. To put it bluntly, this legislation grows out of a latter-day extension of the overzealous efforts of the abolitionists, who profited and were exalted during the era preceding the War Between the States. It is being pushed in the same sort of spirit that motivated the vengeant and vindictive planners and executors of the reconstruction. Not even during the tragic and oppressive reconstruction did a Congress, which was dominated by radicals and in which the conquered South had few friends and spokesmen, see fit to enact such laws as now proposed. There was military occupation and corrupt government imposed from Washington, but there was no permanent board of inquisitors that could be turned into an agency of harassment and intimidation. There was injustice, but there was no permanent overturning of the processes of the courts. Purged by bloodshed of the sin of slavery, which was not his alone, nor his country’s alone, the southern white resisted the reconstruction. He resisted it because he feared, with justification, that it was intended to take from him in order to give to the Negro. He resists court-decreed integration and the civil-rights proposals for the same reason—again with justification for his fears. {{c|{{asc|NEGRO IS MISLED}}}} The Negro was misled in those days, and he is being misled now. The end of the abominable institution of slavery was inevitable, and it could have been accomplished without fratricide and without threatening the Union and creating abiding bitterness. At its end, the Negro was led to believe he could switch from the status of slave to that of master. In some instances, for a time, he did. In others, he was promised “40 acres and a mule,” but more often than not he didn’t know what to do with the 40 acres and he never got the mule. The Negro again is being falsely led to believe that integration will solve all of his remaining problems and that all he needs to realize the millennium is a few more court decrees and Federal laws. He has been led to believe that political largesse will bring to him those things that he can best realize by earning and exercising the rights and privileges already available to him. Until fairly recent decades, southern whites and Negroes engaged in a pathetic sort of competition for the lesser degree of poverty, but they have made progress together and they have achieved a mutual understanding. Education and a rising prosperity were easing the old bitterness and misunderstanding and improving relations between the races at a rate that has been positively amazing. The tragedy of this era is that, since 1954, with the Supreme Court decision in the school cases, and especially since the renewal of agitation of civil-rights legislation with almost virulent vigor, this progress has been slowed down. And the Negro stands to lose the most. The bitterness and the old suspicions are being revived. A few years ago in a prosperous South Carolina industrial city, a joint committee of white and Negro citizens conducted a survey of the needs of the Negro community, ranging from health and housing to transportation and recreation. Much progress came of it. Also, a few years ago, with the help of the newspapers and interested white citizens, certain racial barriers in the public hospital were broken down and qualified Negro doctors were granted staff privileges for the first time on full equality with their white colleagues. Along about the same time, the newspapers and interested white citizens campaigned for better housing for Negroes. City substandard housing laws were strengthened and better enforcement machinery established. The improvement in rental property has been marked. Also, it was urged that property be made available to Negroes of means who wanted to build better homes away from congested areas in which Negroes tend to congregate. Subsequently, a fairly exclusive Negro residential section, near white neighborhoods, was started. There were no objections. {{c|{{asc|PROGRESS IS SLOWED}}}} This sort of things would be more difficult now, if not impossible, in no small part because the Negro is reluctant to cooperate. Both he and his white friends are subject to pressure and unpleasantness from radical elements among their respective races. The Negro apparently has been led to believe the moon may be within his grasp; and lawless and more extreme whites have been aroused. In many cities in the South, the newspapers have sought for years to treat the Negro with the dignity any citizen deserves in their handling of the news. Special sections devoted to news of the Negro community, often prepared by Negro reporters, were started. Until recently, there was no protest. Now there are murmurs, direct protests, and anonymous letters. None of this has to do with integration. Neither race is ready for integration, and may never be. But if they become so it will be on the only basis of successful close human association—natural affinity, mutual appreciation, and individual choice. Neither court decrees nor laws can create these conditions. In his speech on conciliation with the American Colonies in 1775, Edmund Burke said, “I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.” With the help of the proposed legislation, and the injunctive process, the Federal courts may one day find such a method, but the result will be the destruction, not the preservation of civil rights. Burke also said in his Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontent in 1770 that, “When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” This cause is not the South’s alone. The extension of the judicial process into areas it was not intended to reach and stretching it for purposes it is incapable of serving; the striking down of the police power of the States in field after field; the unprecedented use of the injunctive power without jury trial to punish for contempt persons not before the court; all of these, as able judges and lawyers are solemnly warning, threaten the future security of all Americans. The granting of the powers the Justice Department is now asking can only hasten this process. Even the layman can see that. The proposed commission, with power to investigate and harass at its own will could, in the wrong hands, become an instrument of coercion and intimidation. Like other Americans, no southerner of good conscience condones the denial of rights, either by violation of the law or by threat or violence. But the atmosphere created by agitation is not only inciting lawless elements to violence, but is making such incidents even harder to deal with. Of laws we have aplenty. The Federal Government has ample power to deal with the violations the Attorney General alleges but doesn’t specify. The States have laws against violence, and many of them, like South Carolina, have laws making violation of any citizen’s rights a crime. They should be left free to enforce them.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Orangeburg (S. C.) Times and Democrat of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “On Jury Trials.” This is what it has to say on this subject: {{smaller block|The committee in the Senate which has been considering the civil-rights bill has added an amendment to the bill which would allow persons accused of contempt to be given jury trials. Many Senators who were and are in favor of the civil-rights bill are supporting this amendment. We do not see how Congress can go wrong in providing jury trials for persons accused of contempt. While we do not wish to join in a wholesale assault on the judiciary of this Nation, it is nevertheless true that the judiciary—like the other branches of the Government—must have its limitations. No one branch of our Government functions perfectly, nor is it made up of perfect citizens. The judicial branch has assumed increasing power in recent years and it would be wise to safeguard the right of persons to a trial by jury because of what might follow if this right is denied citizens. It may be that only one issue is involved at present, but the future might well turn up an undesirable situation in which the principle wherein judges who find American citizens guilty of contempt, exercise such unlimited powers concerning various issues and freedom that any bill limiting the right of jury trial would be a tragedy and result in injustice to many Americans. We do not believe that any one section of the country has a monopoly on all the good people in the United States. We believe that trial by jury is the best possible system establishing guilt and that the people themselves, who make up our juries, will come nearer seeing that justice is done than any group, acting individually, no matter how talented the various individuals may be.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Columbia (S. C.) State of June 5, 1957. It is entitled “A Wise Provision,” and here is what it has to say on the question of jury trials: {{smaller block|Administration forces fell before six Democrats and a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee who insisted upon including in the so-called civil-rights bill a proviso guaranteeing trial by jury to persons accused in court in civil-rights cases. In supporting the amendment as a poor substitute for killing the bill, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} explained that the section would give civil-rights defendants the same right now enjoyed by trade unionists in labor injunction cases. The development does not, however, meet with the approval of Attorney General Brownell, who has been playing out of position before now in lobbying for controversial and doubtful legislation, arraying section against section and class against class. He complains the proviso would permit practical nullification of proposed civil-rights legislation. In the words of Orphan Annie, “Would that be bad?” One wonders just what the advocates of such legislation are after. Could they be seeking to destroy the Constitution? Everything considered, the section guaranteeing jury trials to defendants in civil-rights cases follows the orderly procedure defined by the Founding Fathers as to the rights and dignity of the individual. Trial by jury is one of the cardinal triumphs of our Constitution as inherited from Magna Carta. There is no reason why any exception should be made to gratify the unilateral zeal of special interests of self-appointed reregulators.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner, of July 10, 1957. Here is what it has to say: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|A Principle of Rights: South Making Its Point}}}} More Senators, it appears, are seeing the validity of the South’s insistence on trial by jury as a fixed point of law and due process—{{SIC|bone|borne}} of contention with the civil-rights brigade. They are seeing, surely, what logic underscores: that if this principle falls under the impact of biased thinking against the South, it falls for all. It is not, therefore, a regional issue, but national. The southern protest is not addressed to a narrow, selfish view, but to a view exactly as broad as the Constitution—and as far reaching. Senator {{sc|O’Mahoney}}, of Wyoming, has paid tribute to the fairness of southern colleagues—having spoken out prior to this showdown for the stated right of due process; and recognizing the progress already made, and voluntarily, on race relations. As a further point of edification, the fact of voting rights enjoyed and practiced in the South should be laid before him. Who, influenced by propaganda to the contrary, has bothered to examine the record in State after State? By what process of competent investigation have these civil-rights firebrands arrived at a conclusion of wholesale indictment? Voting is a privilege, as well as a duty, of citizenship, asserted and protected by law. With that principle there can be no quarrel. The issue is invasion by Federal authority, and methods of enforcement begetting strife by the measures of force contemplated in this iniquitous legislation. There are States, outside the South, where people of voting age are denied the right to vote—Indians, for example. Negro citizens do vote, under the same rules of eligibilty applied in the case of white citizens; and if any Senator doubts that, he should come this way and watch. In Tennessee, and other Southern States, he would find Negroes holding public office. In Nashville they elect their own representatives to city council; they have membership on the school board. They staff their schools. They are employed on the police department and the fire department. Facts, it appears, are coming out in the Senate and registering—and they are facts answering organized diatribe; substantiating both the concept of justice and of constitutional law. The South does not stand at the bar of public opinion convicted—just accused. It is not on the defensive. It is defending a basic right of responsible treatment, and the place of that defense is the floor of the Senate. As manifested by the implied readiness of opponents to concede the trial-by-jury point, its stand to date is influencing that decision. It cannot compromise any principle to the detriment of established, constitutional rights, much less yield to the whip of caprice.}} A column written by Dr. John Temple Graves, one of the outstanding men in the South and in the Nation, printed in the Charleston, S. C., News and Courier of July 8, 1957, is entitled “South’s Most Civil Right Is Right To Be Let Alone,” reads as follows: {{smaller block|“The right to be let alone.” That is our most civil liberty. Remember it and be of good cheer as Senators from the South fight against the so-called civil-liberty bill. Civil liberty is indivisible. It is the whole Constitution, the whole ideal. When you sacrifice one part for another you decrease and endanger the total. When the right to jury trial is impeached to save the right to vote there is net loss, and the same loss runs the whole constitutional gamut. Basically, all American rights are civil rights. States’ rights are civil. The rights of Congress against the Supreme Court are civil, and of the executive against each, and vice versa. And when the Federal Government (or the State) invades areas never intended or authorized there is violation of the most civil right of all—the right to be let alone. If the Founding Fathers made a mistake, if they failed to look ahead enough, if they should have anticipated a future so social and interrelated that nothing short of a totalitarian central government and law would serve, we should face it and get a new Constitution. Certainly we should not undertake to cover the situation by ignoring the Constitution in one place and insisting on it in another, sacrificing one civil right to make another safe. Most of us believe no mistake was made, that liberty and justice can still be had in the great terms of the Constitution. If the President could just be reached on this jury-trial issue in the civil-force bill many of us who go on liking him believe he would see the South’s case as the Nation’s. The Baltimore Sun nails it thus: “The injunction contemplated would forbid actions already forbidden under Federal criminal laws. This being so, the injunction procedure is obviously a judicial shortcut, and one which would deprive those cited for contempt of a right which would be guaranteed them under the Federal Constitution (if they) were indicted for the same offense. It is proposed to assure one right—the right to vote—by ignoring another right—the right to a jury trial.” As pointed out here many times, jury trials should be stretched just as far as contempt is stretched, you would think. The civil-rights bill would stretch contempt into areas that ordinarily involve jury trial. It should not be permitted to deny jury trial, therefore, on the plea that contempt cases don’t allow for them.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier of July 4, 1957, entitled "“Unless Citizens Fight Against Tyranny Independence Will Perish in the United States of America:” {{smaller block|The 181st anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 today finds independence at low ebb in these United States. There is a real question as to whether Americans of this day are capable of keeping whatever measure of independence is left to them, let alone restoring lost liberties. The original Independence Day was celebrated a long time ago. The national memory of what it means is dim. There is a certain amount of speechifying by political leaders. And the White House will hand reporters a mimeographed Fourth of July statement, written by one of the President’s ghostwriters. But the deep meaning of the day will not be especially clear to millions of Americans who are looking forward to a long weekend at the beach or other pleasure resorts. There is no reason why the Fourth of July should be a long-faced affair. Nor is there any reason why it should be just another holiday—another day for family picnics, parties, and romping in the surf. Except for a few lines of it embodied in newspaper stories, no one will read the Declaration of Independence. And yet our ancestors read it with the greatest care, for it touched their lives. It is an angry document, full of resentment toward a government that was steadily pushing Americans into a corner. Finally, in the Declaration, the people said they had enough. Throughout June 1957 the American people were being pushed into a corner, precisely as the people of the province of South Carolina and 12 other colonies were being pushed in the broiling summer of 1776. No one attacked Sullivan’s Island last month, except possibly mosquitoes. But liberties of South Carolinians and their fellow citizens in 47 States were under attack. Who knows it? Who cares? Today Fort Moultrie, which should be a national shrine, is padlocked and the grounds overgrown with grass. Today, grass is growing over American liberties. Americans cared in 1776. Of George III., the signers said: “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.” And so they submitted the facts. They said that King George “has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation; for depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury; for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments; for suspending our legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.” Does this have a familiar ring? Is not the Congress, on recommendation of the President, preparing a civil-rights bill that would deny trial by jury to some Americans? Isn’t the Supreme Court striking down State laws, abolishing important laws of Congress and altering fundamental forms of our State and Federal governments? Isn’t the Supreme Court legislating school laws for the South? The answer to all these questions is “Yes.” The Declaration of Independence says that it is the duty of a free people, when a design to reduce them to despotism has been perceived, to provide new guards for their future security. That is what Americans living in 1957 must do. There is no need for flag-waving demonstrations—nothing of that sort. All that is needed is for millions of Americans to halt one moment, in the midst of holiday pleasure, to resolve that they will support their elected representatives in setting up new guards against tyranny. Unless there is such a resolve, there won’t be much independence to celebrate in the years ahead.}} Mr. President, I have an editorial from the July 9, 1957, Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier entitled “People Should Accept No Compromise on States’ Control of Elections:” {{smaller block|Talk about compromise on civil rights force bills before Congress is in the news from Washington. What goes on behind the scenes the public seldom knows at the time, and doesn’t always find out later. We speak with no knowledge other than what we read in press dispatches. The comment of Senator {{sc|Mundt}}, Republican, of South Dakota, who has predicted a compromise in time to let the Senate adjourn by mid-August, is especially interesting. He said the compromise would be one “for which the South can’t vote, but one with which the South can live.” The terms of the compromise would be to guarantee the right of Negro and other minority groups to vote without harassment. Qualified Negroes, like qualified white people, already have a right to vote. Race agitators from time to time dig up cases of alleged intimidation of Negro voters in the South. No doubt there are voting irregularities in the South, as in other regions of the country. In the areas that the News and Courier knows about, Negroes register and vote without hindrance. If there is widespread violation of anybody’s civil rights we are not aware of it. The big question is not so much whether and where violations may occur, but who has authority to enforce guaranties of the rights. Heretofore in our country the States have set up and supervised elections within their borders. We strongly believe that the future of the American Republic depends on saving a balance of power between State and Federal authorities. Control of the ballot and voting procedures is essential to that balance. The force bill now before Congress, generally known as the civil-rights bill, would set up new Federal machinery, armed with power to imprison without trial by jury, to manage racial aspects of elections. It would be a short step to amend this law to put other, perhaps all, election machinery into Federal hands. Thus some of the safeguards—precious few of them remaining—would disappear. Compromise on the force bill is a compromise with freedom. Today the Southern States may seem to be the target. But the danger exists for all 48 States. Perhaps the danger cannot be avoided in the present mood of our Government. Senator {{sc|Mundt}}, in the past a stanch supporter of States’ rights, has forecast a compromise “with which the South can live,” even though it cannot vote for the compromise. The South could not live with Reconstruction after the Civil War. Some of the proposals today seem designed to revive the spirit of Reconstruction. The News and Courier does not believe the South can live with that spirit now any better than it could live with it 80 years ago. For that reason we reject any compromise with basic rights and basic freedom. If the South loses to superior power, either in the form of votes in Congress or any other form of force, let it not be said that the South gave its consent. Someday, if it is not then too late, the rest of the country may come to its senses. The South may be able to hasten that day by resisting wreckers of the Republic. If the people of the United States realized what was being done to their country, they would not offer up the South as a sacrifice, nor compromise with liberty. The South might be able to live with compromise, but not at the same time with pride and self-respect.}} Mr. President, there have been a number of occasions on which I have spoken before the subcommittees of the Committees on the Judiciary of the House and Senate, and on the floor of the Senate, in opposition to the provisions of H. R. 6127 and the other so-called civil-rights bills which were introduced both in the House and in the Senate. The first of these statements was made before the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on February 26. Because a good portion of the statement was made with reference to certain so-called civil-rights bills then being considered, but which are not now before the Senate, I have edited out portions of the statement. I now read my statement as edited. {{smaller block|I am here today to oppose the so-called civil-rights bills. Tyranny by any other name is just as bad. In other countries tyranny has taken the forms of fascism, communism, and absolute monarchy. I do not want to see it foisted on the American people under the alias of “civil rights.” Real civil rights and so-called civil rights should not be confused. Everybody favors human rights. But it is a fraud on the American people to pretend that human rights can long endure without constitutional restraint on the power of government. The actual power of the Federal Government should not be confused with power longed for by those who would destroy the States as sovereign governments. {{c|{{asc|USURPATION BY JUDICIARY}}}} There have been a number of instances of attempted and real usurpation of power by the Federal Government, which these pending bills would attempt to legalize, expand, and extend. The most notorious illustration of this type of usurpation is the May 17, 1954, school segregation decision by the United States Supreme Court. Since that time there have been several other decisions by the Court which I think have wakened people all over the country who previously paid little attention, or cared little, what the result might be in the school segregation cases. There are two recent cases. One arose in Pennsylvania and one in New York. The Pennsylvania case is ''Pennsylvania'' v. ''Steve Nelson'', decided April 2, 1956, dealing with the right of the State to take action against a Communist. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that because there was a Federal sedition law, the State of Pennsylvania had no authority in that field. The laws of 42 States were invalidated by the decision. Even the protest of the Department of Justice that the laws of the States did not interfere with enforcement of the Federal law did not stop the Court. The author of the Federal law, the Honorable {{sc|Howard Smith}}, Of Virginia, has stated there was no intent embodied in the Federal act to prohibit the States from legislating against sedition. The second case to which I refer arose when the city of New York dismissed from employment a teacher who had refused to disclose whether he was a Communist when questioned by duly constituted authority. Here again the United States Supreme Court ruled against the power and authority of the local government contained in the charter of the city of New York. {{c|{{asc|USURPATION BY EXECUTIVE}}}} Now let me refer briefly to some attempts at usurpation of the rights of the States by the executive branch of the Federal Government. Administrators in some Federal departments and agencies have issued directives having the effect of laws which have never been enacted by the Congress. A specific illustration is that of the Civil Aeronautics Administration issuing a directive last year to withhold Federal funds from facilities in the construction of airports where segregation of the races is practiced. There is absolutely no basis in law for this administrative action, but by use of a directive or an edict the administrator effected a result just as though a law had been enacted. Other attempts at Federal interference from the executive branch with the rights of the individual citizen is demonstrated by the Contracts Compliance Commission. This Commission has dictated that contractors working on Federal projects must employ persons of both the white and Negro races, whether the contractors wish to do so or not. The strength of the Commission lies in the power to withhold contracts, or threatening to do so, if a contractor fails to carry out the dictates of the Commission. {{c|{{asc|ATTEMPTED USURPATION BY CONGRESS}}}} I can think of no better {{SIC|ilustration|illustration}} of attempted usurpation of the rights of the States by the legislative branch of the Federal Government than what is going on here now. I believe that the Congress, by attempting to enact these so-called civil-rights bills, is invading the rights of the States. {{c|{{asc|NO DOUBT AS TO CONSTITUTION}}}} Wherever a person lives in this country, whatever political faith he holds, whatever he believes in connection with any matter of interest, he has one firm basis for knowing his rights. Those rights are enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. I believe in that document. I believe that it means exactly what it says, no more and no less. If American citizens cannot believe in the Constitution, and know that it means exactly what it says, no more and no less, then there is no assurance that our representative form of government will continue in this country. I believe that people all over the country are beginning to realize that steps should be taken to preserve the constitutional guaranties which are being infringed upon in many ways. I believe we should also take steps to regain for the States some of the powers previously lost in unwarranted assaults on the States by the Federal Government. {{c|{{asc|STATE OFFICIALS UNDERSTANDING}}}} The administration of laws relating to civil rights is being carried out much more intelligently at the local levels of government than they could ever possibly be administered by edicts handed down from Washington. State officials and county officials know the people and know the problems of those people. Most officials of the Federal Government in Washington know much less about local problems than do the public officials in the States and in the counties. If these so-called civil-rights bills should be approved, then we must anticipate that the Federal Government, having usurped the authority of local government, will try to send Federal detectives snooping throughout the land. Federal police could be sent into the home of any citizen charged with violating the civil-rights laws. If there are constitutional proposals here which any of the States wish to enact, I have no objection to that. Every State has the right to enact any constitutional law which has not been specifically delegated to the Federal Government in the Constitution. On the other hand, I am firmly opposed to the enactment by Congress of laws in fields where the Congress has no authority, or in fields where there is no necessity for action by the Congress. From my observations, I have gained the strong feeling that most of the States are performing their police duties well. I believe that the individual States are looking after their own problems in the field of civil rights better than any enactment of this Congress could provide for, and better than any commission appointed by the Chief Executive could look after them.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question, with the understanding that he will not lose his right to the floor, and the understanding that it will not be considered a second speech or jeopardize the Senator’s right to the floor? Mr. THURMOND. If unanimous consent is granted, under the conditions which the distinguished Senator has outlined, I will be pleased to yield. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from California? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I shall preface my question by this brief statement of fact, namely, since the House has adopted a ''sine die'' adjournment resolution, and there is no fixed period for adjournment, and the Senate can, and in my judgment will, continue in session as long as it is necessary to complete its business, I put these questions in all seriousness to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina: First. What is the Senator’s purpose by his interesting but prolonged remarks? Is it a matter of education of the Senate or of the country? Second. Is it to establish a record of discussion on the floor of the Senate? Third. Is it merely to delay a vote on the civil rights bill, which is the pending business? Fourth. Is it to prevent a final vote on H. R. 6127, the so-called civil rights bill? Fifth. Is it to make friends and to influence other Senators in the southern position? Sixth. Is it to emphasize to the Senate the need for a change, beginning in January, of rule XXII.? There may be other reasons, but I should be very much interested—and I believe the Senate would be interested also—if the Senator from South Carolina would agree to indicate the purpose of his prolonged address. Mr. THURMOND. I would merely say that my purpose in making the extended address is for educational purposes—to educate the Senate and the people of the country. There is no question in my mind that the so-called civil-rights bill violates the Constitution of the United States. I do not believe the Senator was in the Chamber when I spoke earlier and cited a decision pointing out that criminal contempt has been held to be a crime and that under the Constitution of the United States it is provided that a man charged with crime shall get a jury trial. The so-called compromise bill provides that if a person is sentenced by a judge by being fined more than $300 or imprisoned for more than 45 days, he will get a jury trial. The Constitution does not say that. The Constitution provides that if he is charged with a crime, he shall get a jury trial. I believe in the Constitution. I believe that the Constitution is clear. I hope the Senator will take the time one of these days—probably he will not have an opportunity soon—to read the address I have made in which I have gone into these matters and have tried to delineate them and point them out for the benefit of the American people, as well as for the benefit of the Senate. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am confident that the pending bill is a dangerous bill in a number of ways. I have pointed out that it is necessary that every State in the Nation have laws to protect the right to vote. The Senator’s own State of California has such laws. I started with the State of Alabama and read the laws for every State. Those laws were confirmed to be accurate by the Library of Congress. I read the State laws beginning with Alabama and ending with Wyoming. Every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote. I say there is no need for the pending bill. This is a matter that comes under the Constitution, and it should be left to the States. It is a State matter. It is not a Federal matter. Furthermore, the Federal Government has invaded the field. It has already invaded the field. I believe it made a mistake when it did so. I should like to invite the attention of the Senator—again I do not believe he was in the Chamber when I referred to it previously—section 594 of chapter 29 of title 18 of the United States Code. That section provides: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield again under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. That is the Federal law today. If anyone is being denied his right to vote today he has recourse to that statute. If anyone is being denied the right to vote and complains about it, the Justice Department fails to do its duty if it fails to prosecute under that section of the Federal statute. Either that condition exists or there are no just complaints. The Committee on the Judiciary held hearings for months on the question, and it did not have before it one valid complaint. It had some fictitious complaints from a parish in Mississippi. It turned out that they asked a witness to return the next day, but he did not return, and it proved that the whole testimony was a fabrication, according to the chairman of the committee. Therefore, there are State laws which protect the right to vote, and there is a Federal law which protects the right to vote. Under that act, if a man is tried, he would have a right to trial by jury. Under the so-called compromise, if he is tried, he would not have the right of trial by jury if the sentence were less than $300 or if the imprisonment were for less than 45 days. Ninety-nine percent of all the criminal contempt cases would fall within that sphere. I was a circuit court judge for 8 years and heard cases all over South Carolina. I cannot remember the case of even one man who was sentenced by me or by any other circuit court judge in South Carolina for contempt of court for longer than 45 days in jail. Therefore, the effect of the so-called compromise is to deny to the citizens of South Carolina and of the United States the right to a jury trial, as is guaranteed in several places in the Constitution. That is the reason I have made this extended address. It is to call to the attention of the Senate and to the people of the Nation that the pending bill is a dangerous bill. In my opinion, it is purely a political bill. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions as heretofore stated? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I can assure the Senator, whether we make that proviso in our remarks back and forth, the Senator will be fully protected in his rights to the floor. Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield to the Senator from California under those conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I did listen to the earlier part of the Senator’s address. I was in the Chamber at the time. I must confess that for several hours I did get some sleep and was able to freshen up and to change my clothes, and I am now back in the Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. I notice that the Senator looks very fresh at about 6:45 in the morning. Mr. KNOWLAND. Yes. I am glad to be here with the Senator. Of course, the question which obviously disturbed a majority of the two Houses of Congress was that the statutes which are now on the statute books were not effective in protecting those constitutional rights. The Senators who felt that way are just as sincere as the Senator from South Carolina. I know the Senator from South Carolina has a deep conviction and is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. However, I refer to the provisions of section 1 of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, which provides: {{smaller block|The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.}} Section 2 of the 15th amendment reads: {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.}} Both sections point up the fundamental constitutional right of American citizens and clearly underscore the fact that Congress not only has the right, but the responsibility in this field. The Senator may feel that in his State or perhaps in other States—and I have no doubt it is true in many areas of the South—there is no problem relative to the voting rights of American citizens. But at least the predominant opinion in Congress indicates that there is also a strong feeling that in many areas—and this may not be related only to the South, for that matter—the full rights under the 15th amendment are not being effectively implemented. It was for that reason that the House, by a vote, I believe, of more than 2 to 1, and the Senate finally by a very substantial majority, passed the bill, which is now going through another legislative process. It finally came back to the Senate floor after the House had concurred and amended the Senate version, as the House had a right to do. My only point is that obviously the Senate of the United States is going to stay in session and complete work on the proposed legislation. It may sit for the remainder of the week, and it may sit next month and, if necessary, the month after that. I wish to emphasize to the Senator from South Carolina that, so far as the recommendations of the minority leader might be followed—and I know of no difference of opinion so far as the majority is concerned, although I cannot speak for the majority, and I would not attempt to do so—there will be no ''sine die'' adjournment resolution adopted by the Senate which would permit Congress to adjourn the first session of the 85th Congress until we have completed the work on the pending legislation, which is the civil-rights bill, and completed the work on the proposed legislation dealing with the mutual aid appropriation bill. Therefore, there is no fixed hour and date of adjournment. I was wondering, therefore, why the Senator was making his extended address, and that is the reason I asked the questions I asked of him. He said he was making the address for the purpose of an educational campaign, for the benefit of the country and the Senate. I was wondering whether he hoped to prevent passage of the bill or merely delay its passage, or whether he had some other reason in mind. Mr. THURMOND. In answer to the distinguished Senator, I wish to say that I should be highly pleased if the bill did not pass. I should like to ask the Senator this question: Under the statute which I have just read—and that is not a State statute, but a Federal statute, which provides “whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote as he may choose,” and so forth, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both—is there any deficiency in the statute? Is that not as clear as it can be? If anyone interferes with another’s right to vote, or intimidates, or if he threatens or coerces, he shall be punished. Is that not what it says? If that is the case, why does the Senator believe we should have another statute on voting added to it? Is this statute deficient? The Senator says the present laws are defective, as I understand. The statute I have read is a criminal statute. It will punish a guilty person by fining him for as much as $1,000 and could send him to jail for a year. In what respect does the Senator believe the statute is defective? Mr. KNOWLAND. I shall not at this hour get into a detailed legal argument, because I am not a lawyer, but a newspaperman; furthermore, I would not attempt to put myself up against the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, who has been a judge in his own State and has been for a long time a distinguished member of the bar. I have listened to the arguments on the floor of the Senate. I have read a number of the reports and the proceedings, and I have had some discussions with people who are familiar with the circumstances connected with the subject. I do know that those in the Department of Justice who have been concerned with this problem apparently feel that that statute is not effective so far as the constitutional rights of American citizens are concerned. Secondly, I am not in a position to argue with the Senator relative to what the legal definition of coercion is. I do say to the Senator that I believe there are various forms of coercion, some of which might be very difficult to prove in a court of law, but which might still be equally effective in keeping people from exercising their voting rights. The coercion might consist of economic pressure, or there might be some difficulty about finding work in a community or there might be the difficulty of a small merchant maintaining his business. It might be very difficult to trace such things to the fact that a person had tried to go to a voting place on voting day to cast his vote. Nevertheless, such coercion could be quite effective in keeping a person from exercising his right to the voting franchise. It is also true that in the debate which has taken place on the floor of the Senate it was disclosed that in one of the parishes or voting districts in a Southern State which had been mentioned on the floor of the Senate, there had been the situation where certain facts were laid before a grand jury in that particular State, and the facts were very clear, but still no action was taken in that particular situation. I will say to the Senator that it should be remembered that the bill has now been stripped practically to a voting-rights bill. Furthermore, I certainly believe that the fundamental right of an American citizen in this day and age should be protected, because every citizen has the right to vote. If that right is assured to a citizen, in time he may help himself secure the other civil rights to which he is entitled and which are guaranteed to him by the 14th amendment. The bill before us, as I say, is primarily a voting-rights bill. Those who have had some responsibility in this field—and I think some knowledge of it also—feel that the procedure outlined in the bill would at least facilitate the exercise of the voting rights of American citizens in all sections of the country. Mr. THURMOND. I might say to the distinguished Senator that he is one of the ablest Members of the Senate. Even though he is not a lawyer, he knows a statute when he hears one read. The criminal statute I have read is just as plain as any criminal statute can be. I am in favor of having every qualified voter enjoy the right of franchise. I want to say that in my State every qualified voter has that privilege. No one—white, colored, or anyone else—is denied the right to vote in South Carolina. The statute I have read protects people from being coerced and intimidated and threatened in any way. If there is any violation of law now, a person who is discriminated against may go to the Department of Justice, and under the statute I have read a violator of that statute will be either sent to jail or fined or both. What the proposed compromise would do would be to take away that right of trial by jury. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator yield under the same conditions? Mr. THURMOND. I yield under the same conditions. Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say that both the original bill as passed by the two Houses and the final form now before us are not intended to deprive anyone of his vote, but to encourage the constitutional right of people to enjoy the right to vote. The fact of the matter is that quite a due process procedure is set up. If a person comes forward and alleges that he has been denied the right, there is a procedure set up by which he may go into Federal court, under his constitutional right, under the 15th amendment and the other constitutional rights he has, and make certain allegations. The judge must make certain findings. If he finds the facts are correct, he issues a court order, directed to what we in our State would call the registrar of voters, but what in other States might be the county clerk, or whatever else he might be, and says, in effect, “You are violating the constitutional rights of this man. He is being discriminated against under the laws of this State. Put him on the registration rolls.” If the local official complies with the law and complies with the Constitution, nobody is fined, and nobody goes to jail. It is only if the local official or the local individuals involved in the case ignore the order of the court and, in effect, say that “we will not comply with the order seeking to protect the constitutional rights of American citizens,” that the judge may, under either civil contempt, which may be used in most cases, and may in most cases be effective, or under the criminal contempt provisions, impose the penalties. So this bill is not seeking to punish people. To the contrary, it is seeking to gain for American citizens the very fundamental right to vote. If nobody is denied the right to vote in the State of the Senator from South Carolina, there will not be a single citizen in the State of South Carolina who will be involved in either a civil or criminal contempt. If nobody is being denied the right to vote in any other State, there will not be a single citizen, man or woman, who will be involved in either civil or criminal contempt under this bill. There will not be large numbers of persons who will be fined or jailed for 10 days or 30 days or 45 days, to force compliance with the constitutional rights of American citizens. That is going to be so only if the conditions which the Senator says prevail in his State do not prevail in other areas of the country and large numbers of American citizens are denied their constitutional rights. It seems to me it is all clear and simple. The Senator has nothing to fear in his own State or in any other State, because if nobody is being denied the right to vote, nobody can be punished by either civil or criminal contempt proceedings under the bill. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to say, in reply to that statement, whether a single person in South Carolina would be affected by the bill or not would not change my opinion about the bill, because the bill as passed by the House affects American citizens everywhere. The bill the Senate passed delineated and made a distinction between civil contempt, the purpose of which is to bring about compliance with an order, and criminal contempt, the purpose of which is to punish for a crime. A criminal contempt has been held, in a court decision which I cited earlier today, to be a crime. Criminal contempt is a crime. The bill as passed by the House provides for punishment for criminal contempt and provides that a judge can try the case, in his discretion. The defendant does not get a jury trial for a criminal contempt unless the punishment goes beyond 45 days or beyond a $300 fine. I am not concerned about the people of South Carolina violating the voting rights of citizens, because I do not think anybody in South Carolina is violating anyone’s voting rights. I presume this bill is aimed chiefly at helping the Negroes, is it not, Senator? Mr. KNOWLAND. No. The bill would be aimed at any American citizen, without regard to race, creed, or color, whose voting rights under the 15th amendment would be denied. Mr. THURMOND. As a matter of fact, it is the Negro whom it is chiefly aimed to help. Is that not a fact? Mr. KNOWLAND. I suppose most allegations of a denial of voting rights come from colored citizens of the United States, but I assume the same situation might apply to Indians, in some instances, or might apply to others who might be entitled, under the Constitution, to the right to vote; but it is not aimed at any one race or one section of the country. The Constitution, as the Senator well knows, and I think would not dispute, applies to all 48 States of the Union, and not merely to a part of the Union. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is correct, but I refer to the practical purpose of the bill. I understood that was so admitted, and one reason why the right of trial by jury was attempted to be taken away was that southern juries would not convict in cases involving the right of Negroes to vote. For the Senator’s information, in my State I would like him to know that in the 1952 election President Eisenhower lacked just a few votes of carrying the State. The Negroes voted in heavy numbers. The Negro newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer, of Columbia, S. C., published by and for Negroes, bragged about the fact that they were responsible for winning the State for Stevenson. It said that more than 80,000 of them had voted in that election, and that represented about one-fourth of the entire votes cast in that general election. The Negroes of our State comprise only 40 percent of the population. If they voted to the extent of almost one-fourth of all the votes cast in that election—and they probably voted more, because they admitted they cast that many—think it is indicative that the Negroes are voting in large numbers. Of course, they are not so well qualified to vote as are the White people. I do not know of a Negro in South Carolina who is qualified and wants to vote who is denied that privilege. So Negroes are voting in my State. Mr. KNOWLAND. I might say to the Senator I was in his State in 1952. I happened to travel with then General Eisenhower, who was a candidate for the presidency before he became President of the United States. I attended meetings with the President-to-be. The point I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not dispute the fact, as stated by the distinguished Senator, that a large number—perhaps a good majority—of the Negro citizens of this country or of his State may be registered Democrats. I think they may continue to vote for the Democratic ticket, so far as that is concerned. They may have been responsible, as the Senator says, for having carried South Carolina for Stevenson— Mr. THURMOND. That is what they said. Mr. KNOWLAND. Or, at least, that is what they said; but that would not change my viewpoint in the slightest, as a Republican, if they were entitled as American citizens to vote, even though they were responsible for the defeat of my party in that State. I might say that in the northern areas, the heavily populated areas, with large Negro populations, for the most part Negroes have voted the Democratic ticket, and generally for New Deal candidates, and it certainly is not politically advantageous to my party when they vote that way. That still would not change my viewpoint that, if they, are American citizens and if under the Constitution they are entitled to the right of any other citizen to vote, which the Constitution clearly gives them, both the Senate and the House, as well as the executive branch of the Government and the local public officials and the national public officials, have the responsibility to see that they are not denied the right to vote and to exercise their constitutional rights, whether the citizens may be predominantly Democratic, predominantly Republican, or predominantly Independent. That point is not at issue here. The issue is whether they are entitled, under the qualifications of the State laws, and under the Constitution of the United States, to vote. If they are, they should be assured that every public official who raises his hand to support both the State and National Constitution has the responsibility to see that citizens get the right to vote when they want to exercise it. In this country, we do not have coerced voting, where citizens have to go to the polls. But if citizens want to do so, they should be allowed to do so, without any direct intimidation or without any of the more subtle, indirect intimidations or coercions which sometimes can be practiced, as the distinguished Senator knows. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator if he has had evidence presented to him which has convinced him that there is a need for this bill to be passed, in spite of all the laws the States have to protect the right to vote, and in spite of section 594 of the United States criminal code which protects the right to vote. Has the Senator ever had evidence presented to him that convinced him it is necessary to pass the bill, in spite of the laws of the States and the Federal statutes? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator if I did not feel that it was both necessary and desirable to pass the bill, I would not have supported it. I believe there have been sufficient facts presented to indicate that a bill of this type is both necessary and desirable. I have never taken the position on the floor, or publicly or privately, in which I have made a blanket indictment and stated that southern juries would not convict, because I have the highest respect for the people of the South, for their responsibilities of citizenship, for their loyalty to this country, and for the fact that they have served in uniform side by side with citizens from other sections of the country in fighting off our enemies in the various struggles in which this Nation has been engaged. I have never suggested that there should be a blanket indictment of a whole people under any circumstances. I do not now say that the facts outlined by the Senator from South Carolina, with respect to his own State, are not correct. Of course, I do not know his State as well as does the Senator from South Carolina, but if he tells me that there are no cases where a person is deprived of his right to vote, where a Negro citizen, if he possesses precisely the same qualifications that would be expected of a white citizen— Mr. THURMOND. None that I know about. Mr. KNOWLAND. That he has exactly the same rights to register, exactly the same rights to vote, I take the Senator’s word for it, because I have great respect for him. I will say, however, that in the facts presented by the Attorney General’s office before the committee, relative to another State in the broad general area of the South—I might say the same thing might apply in an area of the North or the West, for that matter, because what we are seeking to protect is the rights of American citizens in all 48 States of the Union—it was shown that large numbers of persons who had been registered were purged from the registration rolls. The predominant number, if not all of the purgees, were members of the Negro race, with very few, if any, members of the white race. Purely on the law of averages, to a reasonable man, one would not have to be a lawyer to know that it does not seem to be a matter of chance. Then when they sought to re-register, according to the facts presented, the local registrar indicated, though there were several thousand of them, he could not register more than 50 a day. That meant those persons had to stand in line for long periods of time, which would naturally be a discouraging thing in trying to get back on the registration rolls. There was used the apparently rather interesting and novel provision of verbal question. I doubt very much whether many, if any, Members of the Senate could have answered some of the questions which were asked. If a question was answered one way, that apparently was not the right answer. If the question was answered the other way, which any reasonable person might have done, that apparently was not the right answer. Perhaps the same position would have been taken by the local registrar if the citizen involved had been of any other race, but, again, to a reasonable person it seems that there was at least an effort made to discourage American citizens from exercising the right of franchise. I again reiterate that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that occurrence did not take place in the State of South Carolina. The Senator has made a very fine statement of the rights the citizens of his State enjoy. I think all Americans will rejoice in that fact. I want to say there is nothing in the proposal before the Senate which will in the least change the power of the States to prescribe the qualifications of their voters. They have that right under our Federal system. I think, however, the States have the obligation not merely to give lip service to, but to follow both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution, and that whenever such qualifications are prescribed, whatever they may be, they should be applied impartially and equitably to every American citizen, regardless of his race, color, creed, or previous condition of servitude. Those are the words of the Constitution. Those are the words that every citizen occupying a position as a registrar, a county clerk, or a local voting commissioner has a full obligation to comply with. Such persons should not apply one rule to one group of citizens and a different rule to a different group of citizens. If they will apply the laws with equity and with impartiality, then they have nothing to fear in the slightest in the way of either civil or criminal contempt under this bill, at least in my judgment. Mr. THURMOND. I should like to ask the Senator from California one more question, and with that I will desist. Although the Senator is not a lawyer, he is one of the best read men in the United States. I imagine he is an expert on the Constitution, also, because he is a very deep student. I wonder how the Senator could agree to this compromise, which would deprive people in criminal contempt cases of the right to a trial by jury, when the Constitution is so clear on that point? Mr. KNOWLAND. I will say to the Senator that I will leave the matter to the lawyers, to debate later the specific point which the Senator mentions. I, at least, have heard of no section of the country where there is a provision for a trial by jury in an equity proceeding where there is a contempt of the court. Mr. THURMOND. I am speaking of criminal contempt. Mr. KNOWLAND. I know, but I am speaking also of a contempt of the court in carrying out its order in an equity proceeding. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to that I will say to the Senator I agree that in civil contempt cases under the present law the court has the right to use its power to bring about compliance with an order, in civil contempt cases. However, I am speaking of criminal contempt cases, which are provided for in the compromise bill. The bill provides for criminal contempt actions. Criminal contempt is a crime. I have here a decision which sustains that point. Since criminal contempt is a crime, there is a right to a trial by jury. The Constitution of the United States in article III., section 2, says this: {{smaller block|The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases or Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; * * *.}} The sixth amendment reads: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions—}} That is what we are referring to. We refer to a criminal prosecution for criminal contempt. It is a prosecution by the judge, who is the prosecutor, the legislature, the judge, and the jury. The court has held that criminal contempt is a crime, and the Constitution makes reference to all criminal prosecutions. We refer here to a criminal prosecution. The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, * * *.}} And so forth. In the seventh amendment to the Constitution there is also a reference to a jury trial. The amendment I have read is exactly to the point. If the Senator had provided in the compromise bill that the judge could impose a sentence of imprisonment for 1 day—not 45 days, but even 1 day—or a fine of even $1 in a criminal-contempt case, he would be giving the judge the power to try a man without a jury in violation of the Constitution, even though the punishment would be negligible. What I am opposed to is the fact that the compromise bill, the way it is written and the way it has come to the Senate, violates the Constitution of the United States. I am vitally concerned about that. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the Senator will yield further, then I shall not interrupt him any more. All I can say to the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is that the highest law officers of the Government of the United States are the Attorney General of the United States and representatives of the Department of Justice. They, too, have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The most able lawyers in the Department of Justice have looked over the proposed legislation, as well. In their judgment, it is constitutional and it does not violate the Constitution of the United States. The Senator is entitled, of course, to make the assertion that in his judgment the provision is not constitutional. Such arguments come up even before the Supreme Court of the United States, as the distinguished Senator knows, from time to time, as well as before other courts. Sometimes the judges can agree by a unanimous vote as to what they think is constitutional or what they think is unconstitutional. However, over the long period of our history there have been many notable cases relative to the constitutionality of some act of Congress or the constitutional rights of some individual as to which the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the highest judicial tribunal of the land, has divided on a 5-to-4 decision. The Senator’s assertion that the provision is not constitutional—I am sure the Senator would be the first to admit—does not make it unconstitutional. I quite admit that the assertion of any qualified lawyer on this side, who might make the assertion the provision was constitutional, would not, by that assertion, make it so. Nor would the opinion of the Attorney General make it so. At least I do not want the record to show that merely by having the Senator make the assertion that in his judgment it is not constitutional, necessarily, ''ipso facto'', that assertion makes a fact. Mr. THURMOND. Of course, we remember also that the Attorney General in the original bill wanted to transfer these matters to the equity side of the court to deprive citizens of the right of jury trial. We have to keep that in mind. Mr. KNOWLAND. If the distinguished Senator will yield further, I wish to thank him for his courtesy in yielding. I hope he has enjoyed our discussion as much as I have. I hope perhaps it has been a brief respite to him, under all the circumstances. I would stay to listen to the Senator, but I have a breakfast engagement with the President at the White House. I know under those circumstances the distinguished Senator will excuse me. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to yield to the distinguished Senator, for whom I have such high admiration. Mr. President, I continue to read my statement: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|BILL OF RIGHTS GUARANTIES}} Before taking up specific provisions of several of the bills pending before the committee, I should like to read for you two of the basic provisions in the Bill of Rights. The ninth amendment to the Constitution provides: “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” The 10th amendment to the Constitution provides: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Those last two amendments of the Bill of Rights make clear the intent of the Founding Fathers. Their intent was that all rights not specifically listed, and all powers not specifically delegated to the Federal Government, would be held inalienable by the States, and the people. {{c|{{asc|BILL OF RIGHTS UNALTERED}}}} This basic concept of the Bill of Rights has never been constitutionally amended, no matter what the Federal courts have done, no matter what the executive branch of the Federal Government has done, and no matter what the Congress might have done or attempted to do in the past. The people and the States still retain all rights not specifically delegated to the Federal Government. Let us also consider these proposals from a practical standpoint. What could be accomplished by a Federal law embodying provisions which are already on the statute books of the States that cannot be accomplished by the State laws? I fail to see that any benefit could come from the enactment of Federal laws duplicating State statutes which guarantee the rights of citizens. Certainly the enactment of still other laws not approved by the States could result only in greater unrest than has been created by the recent decisions of the Federal courts. {{c|{{asc|MR. DOOLEY WAS RIGHT}}}} The truth is very much as Mr. Dooley, the writer-philosopher, stated it many years ago, that the Supreme Court follows the election returns. If he were alive today, I believe Mr. Dooley would note also that the election returns follow the Supreme Court. And now it looks as if some people are trying to follow both the Supreme Court and the election returns. Having made these general comments, I would like to comment specifically on some of the pending proposals. First, on the proposal for the establishment of a Commission on Civil Rights. {{c|{{asc|COMMISSION UNNEEDED}}}} There is absolutely no reason for the establishment of such a commission. The Congress and its committees can perform all of the investigative functions which would come within the sphere of constitutional authority. I do not believe the members of any commission, however established, could represent the views of the people of this country as well as the Members of Congress can. I hope that the members of this committee and the Members of the Congress will not permit themselves to be persuaded that anyone else can look after the problems of the people any better, or as well, as the Congress can. Furthermore, there is no justification for an investigation in this field. I hope this committee will recommend against the establishment of such a commission. Another bill would provide for an additional Assistant Attorney General to head a department given by the Attorney General last year. I have searched the testimony given by the Attorney General last year before the committees of the Congress with regard to this proposal, and I have found no valid reason why an additional Assistant Attorney General is needed. I can understand how an additional Assistant Attorney General might be needed if the Congress were to approve a Civil Rights Division and enact some of the other proposals in the so-called civil-rights bills. But they are proposals not dealing with criminal offenses—they deal with efforts of the Justice Department to enter into civil actions against citizens. If the Justice Department is permitted to go into the various States to stir up and agitate persons to seek injunctions and to enter suits against their neighbors, then the Attorney General might need another assistant. However, the Justice Department should avoid civil litigation, instead of seeking to promote it. I hope the members of this committee will recognize this proposal as one which could turn neighbor against neighbor, and will treat it as it deserves by voting against it. {{c|{{asc|WORSE THAN ''EX POST FACTO''}}}} Another proposal of the so-called civil-rights bills is closely related to the one I have just discussed. It would provide that— “Whenever any persons have engaged or about to engage in any acts or practices which would give rise to a cause of action * * * the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States but for the benefit of the real party in interest, a civil action or other proper proceeding or redress or preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order.” Now that proposal is one which I would label as even more insidious than any ''ex post facto'' law which could possibly be imagined. An ''ex post facto'' law would at least apply to some real act committed by a person which was not in violation of law at the time. The point is, however, in such instance the person would actually have committed the act. This proposal would permit the Justice Department to secure an injunction from a Federal judge or to institute a civil suit on behalf of some person against a second person when the latter had committed no act at all. An injunction might be secured from a Federal judge charging a violation of the law without any evidence that a person even intended to do so. How any person could support by oath a charge as to whether another person was about to engage in violating the law is beyond my understanding. Many of the pioneers who settled this new continent came because they wanted to escape the tyranny of European despots. They wanted their families to live in a new land where everybody could be guaranteed the right to trial by jury, instead of the decrees of dictators. Congress, as the directly elected representatives of the people, should be the last to consider depriving the people of jury trials. We should never consider it at all. But, if this proposal to strengthen the civil-rights statutes is approved, that would be its effect. {{c|{{asc|AGENTS COULD MEDDLE}}}} Under this provision, the Attorney General could dispatch his agents throughout the land. They would be empowered to meddle with private business, police elections, intervene in private lawsuits, and breed litigation generally. They would keep our people in a constant state of apprehension and harassment. Liberty quickly perishes under such government, as we have seen it perish in foreign nations. A further provision of that same proposal would permit the bypassing of State authorities in such cases. The Federal district courts would take over original jurisdiction, regardless of administrative remedies, and the right of appeal to the State courts. {{c|{{asc|STATE COURTS STRIPPED}}}} This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and vest the Federal courts with that authority. Still another proposal among the so-called civil-rights bills would “provide a means of further securing and protecting the right to vote.” I have had a search made of the laws of all 48 States and the right to vote is protected by law in every State. {{c|{{asc|SOUTH CAROLINA CONSTITUTION PROTECTS VOTER}}}} In South Carolina, my own State, the constitution of 1895 provides in article III., section 5, that the general assembly shall provide by law for crimes against the election laws and, further, for right of appeal to the State supreme court for any person denied registration. The South Carolina election statute spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court. It also requires a special session of the court if no session is scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election. Article II., section 15 of South Carolina’s constitution, provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of the constitutional provisions, the South Carolina General Assembly has passed laws to punish anyone who shall threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. Anyone who violates any of the provisions in regard to general, special, or primary elections, is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. In this proposed Federal bill to “protect the right to vote,” a person could be prosecuted or an injunction obtained against him based on surmise as to what he might be about to do. The bill says that the Attorney General may institute proceedings against a person who has engaged or “is about to engage in” any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege concerned with voting. {{c|{{asc|UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMENDING}}}} I believe the effect of enactment of such legislation as these proposals would be to alter our form of government, without following the procedures established by the Constitution. I believe the effect of enacting these bills into law would be to take from the States power and authority guaranteed to them by the Constitution. In recent years there have been more and more assaults by the Federal Government on the rights of the States, as the Federal Government has seized power held by the States. In many instances, I believe, this has been done without a constitutional basis. The States have lost prestige. But more important, the States have lost a part of their sovereignty whenever the Federal Government has taken over additional responsibilities. That loss might seem unimportant at the time, but gradually it could become a major part of the sovereignty of the States. Officials of the Federal Government, whether in the executive, legislative, or the judicial branch, should not forget to whom they owe their allegiance. Each of us owes his allegiance to the Constitution and to the people—not to any agency, department, or person. We have taken an oath to support and defend the Constitution. We must take into account the facts as they really are, and not be panicked by the organized pressures which so often beset public officials. {{c|{{asc|STATES CREATED UNION}}}} We must not lose sight of the fact that the States created the Federal Union; the Federal Government did not create the States. All of the powers held by the Federal Government were delegated to it by the States in the Constitution. The Federal Government had no power, and should have no power, which was not granted by the States in the constitution. If this Congress approves the legislation embodied in the bills pending before the committee, it will be an unwarranted attempt to seize power not rightfully held by the Congress or by any branch of the Federal Government. I hope this committee will consider these facts and recommend the disapproval of these bills.}} Mr. President, that was the statement I made before the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives on February 26. Mr. President, on August 6 I made my third address on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced my vigorous objections to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127, as amended by the Senate, which was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of this bill. I shall now repeat my several objections to this milder form of the bill as I stated them on August 6. These were my words at that time: {{smaller block|Mr. President, I am opposed to the creation of a Commission on Civil Rights as proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a Commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, such an investigation should be conducted by the States or by an appropriate committee of the Congress, acting within the jurisdiction of Congressional authority. It should not be done by a commission. I also object to part I. of H. R. 6127 because of the fact that it places duties upon the Commission and endows it with powers which no governmental commission should have. In fact, Mr. President, the language of the bill proposing to establish this Commission is so broad and so general that it may encompass more evils than have yet been detected in it. Under its duties and powers the Commission would be able to subpena citizens to appear before it to answer questions on many subjects outside the scope of elections and voting rights. Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall— “(1) Investigate allegations in writing under oath or affirmation that certain citizens of the United States are being deprived of their right to vote and have that vote counted by reason of their color, race, religion, or national origin; which writing, under oath or affirmation, shall set forth the facts upon which such belief or beliefs are based.” Mr. President, the bill, in part IV., contains an additional protection of the voting right of citizens above and beyond present State and Federal laws. Provision is made for enforcement of part IV., and there were already sufficient enforcement provisions to carry out the intent of the existing State and Federal laws. I do not see how a commission could enhance officers nor the powers of law enforcement officers nor the enforcement and punitive authority of the courts. I can see no valid reason why a commission should be created, in addition to the legal enforcement procedures, unless the purpose is for the Commission to stir up litigation among our people. This bill has been advertised, promoted, and ballyhooed as a right-to-vote bill. However, I want to cite two paragraphs which give broad authority for investigations other than alleged violations of a person’s right to vote. Section 104(a) provides the Commission shall— “(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and “(3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.” Instead of limiting the power of the Commission, these two paragraphs provide it with ''carte blanche'' authority to probe into and meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals which the Commission and members of its staff could conjure up. I want to call particular attention to a divergence in language between paragraphs 2 and 3. Paragraph 2 refers to a study of “legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection.” Paragraph 3 says “appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection.” The significant thing here is the omission of the specific intent of paragraph 2. Although the language of paragraph 2 is obscure and omits a governmental reference, it obviously must refer to State and local governments, else it would be redundant and have no meaning at all. Also, as I pointed out, investigations conducted under paragraphs 2 and 3 could go far afield from the question of voting rights. The Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools, and elsewhere, under the authorization of these two paragraphs. Combining its authority to investigate on an unlimited scale and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions, the Commission would have a powerful weapon. Mr. President, I do not believe the people of this country realize the virtually unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. While the Commission would have no power to implement its desires, I do not believe the people of this country want such a totalitarian type of persuasion imposed upon them. Part I. of H. R. 6127 purports to create a Civil Rights Commission. Actually, it would create a traveling investigation commission. Section 103(b) of part I. also would place tremendous power within the grasp of the Attorney General with reference to members of the Commission “otherwise in the service of the Government.” The clear implication is that whoever drafted this scheme to send traveling agents over the country intended to make use of certain members of the executive branch of the Federal Government. I don’t believe it would be necessary to look further than the Justice Department to determine where Commission members already in Government service would be secured. By placing his employees on the Commission, the Attorney General would transform the traveling agents into an additional investigative arm of the Justice Department. Mr. President, I next call attention to the potential abuse found in section 102(g) under the innocuous title, “Rules of Procedure of the Commission.” That section provides that “no evidence or testimony taken in executive session may be released or used in public sessions without the consent of the Commission. Whoever releases or uses in public without the consent of the Commission evidence or testimony taken in executive session shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned for not more than 1 year.” In an editorial of July 26, 1957, the Washington Post very correctly pointed out how this section could be used to imprison reporters and other citizens for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This editorial provides a penetrating and enlightening criticism of this section. Because of its pertinency and fine analysis, I shall read the last three paragraphs of the editorial which is entitled “Open Rights Hearings,” which states: “The bill contains an invitation to the Commission to operate behind closed doors. It provides that ‘if the Commission determines that evidence or testimony at any hearing may tend to defame, degrade, or incriminate any person, it shall * * * receive such evidence or testimony in executive session * * *.’ Some closed sessions may be necessary to avoid unfair reflections upon individuals, but these should certainly be an exception to the general rule. In our opinion, this section ought to be rewritten in more positive vein to provide that sessions of the Commission should be open to the public, unless it should find that closed hearings were essential to avoid unfairness. “The House also wrote into the bill a dangerous section providing for the fining or imprisonment for not more than 1 year of anyone who might ‘release or use in public,’ without the consent of the Commission, any testimony taken behind closed doors. If the Commission should choose to operate under cover, without any valid reason to do so, newspaper reporters and other citizens could be jailed for disclosure of what a witness might voluntarily tell them. This is a penalty that has been shunned even in matters affecting national security. Such a provision is an invitation to abuse and a serious menace to the right of the people to know about the activities of governmental agencies. “It is well to remember that this would not be merely a study commission. In addition it would be under obligation to investigate allegations that persons were being deprived of their rights under the 14th and 15th amendments. It could subpena witnesses and documents and appeal to the courts for enforcement of such edicts. Its powers would be such that it should be held to scrupulous rules of fairness. To encourage the Commission to operate in secret, and then to penalize news mediums and citizens for disclosing what should have been public in the first place, would be the sort of mistake that Congress ought to avoid at the outset.” Mr. President, I think the points made in the editorial are clear and valid. Secrecy in the activities of such a Commission could only lead to a denial of the rights of an individual rather than to protection of his rights. Another subject which must not be passed over is the subpena power of the Commission. Section 105(f) provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the production of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” Mr. President, many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding Commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. Neither would the power contained in section 105(g) which provides that Federal courts shall have the power, upon application by the Attorney General, to issue “an order requiring” a witness to answer a subpena of the Commission and “any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by said court as a contempt thereof.” The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority of the traditional American factfinding commission. I look with suspicion upon such a Commission so endowed with authority, and I object to its establishment. Mr. President, I want to discuss another reason, briefly, why I would be opposed to the establishment of the Commission proposed in part I. of H. R. 6127. Every appropriation bill which has come before the Senate this year has been reduced by the Senate below the budget request. The people of this country have called upon the Members of Congress to reduce the costs of government, not to increase them by creating new agencies or commissions. The advocates of the Commission might argue that the cost of its operation would not be great, but nowhere in the records of the hearings have I found an estimate of what the total cost would be. If the Commission were to exist only for the 2 years provided in the bill, the compensation and ''per diem'' allowance of Commission members would amount to more than a quarter of a million dollars, not counting their travel allowances. Since there is no limitation on the number of personnel which might be appointed by the Commission, there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of personnel salaries and expenses. Since the Commission is designed to travel over the country at will, very heavy travel expenses undoubtedly would be incurred. The taxpayers would never know how many of their tax dollars were wasted by virtue of the seemingly innocuous language in section 105(e). Unknown, concealed costs are not, however, the only dangers lurking in that subsection. A serious departure from sound legislative procedure is also involved. In the past, when creating an agency or commission, Congress retained control of its creation by the appropriation power. This is a wonderful check, Mr. President, against the abuse or misuse of Commission authority. Scrupulous care should be taken to preserve it. However, section 105(e) provides that “all Federal agencies shall cooperate fully with the Commission to the end that it may effectively carry out its functions and duties.” Thus the Civil Rights Commission could call on the other governmental agencies to perform many of its tasks. Congressional control over the Commission would be much less than if the Commission had to depend on its own appropriations and would not be permitted to use the resources of other agencies. Once the commission is created, only another law can check its activity during the period of its existence. Another thing that concerns me about this Commission is the fact that once a Government agency or commission is established, nothing else on earth so nearly approaches eternal existence as that Government agency or commission. Mr. President, I feel that the 2-year limitation placed upon the Commission in this bill would simply be a starting point, and the people of this country should realize that at this time. With further reference to section 104(a), I want to point out the use of the mandatory word shall. This word requires the Commission to investigate all sworn allegations submitted to the Commission of any citizen allegedly being deprived of his right to vote. But the provision neglects to require that such allegations be submitted by parties in interest—not simply by some meddler who seeks to create trouble between other persons. This is another provision of this bill similar to section 131(c) which would permit the Attorney General to make the United States a party to a case without the consent of the party actually involved. Another objection to 104(a) is that under this provision a person could make an allegation to the Commission against a person who was not even a citizen of the same State. Even so, under the mandatory language of section 104(a), the Commission would be required to make an investigation of the charges. Since the Commission is limited by section 102(k) to subpenaing witnesses to hearings only within the State of residence of the witness, there would be no opportunity in such a situation for the accused to confront his accuser. Charges against a person should not be accepted by the Commission unless the accuser is a citizen of the same State as the person he is charging with a violation of the law. Also, Mr. President, once the Commission has received the sworn allegation, there is no requirement that other testimony received relating to the allegation be taken under oath. Failure to make all persons giving testimony subject to perjury prosecutions in the event they testify to falsehoods would surely destroy the value of any such testimony received. The Commission could and might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony; but I should not like to see the Senate leave that point to the discretion of the Commission because, in my judgment, the Congress should require that practice to be followed. Mr. President, as I stated earlier, it is my view that an inquiry into the field of civil rights, or so-called civil rights, is entirely unnecessary at this time. The laws of the States and the Federal laws are being enforced effectively. Should there come a time when information might be needed on this subject, the Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with deliberation and care. The appropriate committees of the Congress itself should hold hearings limited to the jurisdiction of the Congress, and the Congress should make its own determination as to the need for legislation. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed. Part II. of the bill still provides for the appointment of one additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. As I have stated in previous addresses, there is absolutely no need for an additional Attorney General to be appointed at a cost to the taxpayers of $20,000 per year. Of course, that would merely be a small part of the total cost because a large staff of lawyers would also be employed. The other provisions of the bill do not necessitate the establishment of a civil-rights division in the Justice Department, because there is no indication there would be any substantial increase in such cases with which the Department should be concerned. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have admitted time and again here in the Senate that there has been a steady decrease in the number of civil-rights cases throughout the country. Since there has been a decrease in civil-rights cases, and since there is no indication that any increase should be expected, I can see absolutely no reason for the expansion of the present civil-rights section of the Justice Department into a Civil Rights Division with an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge. Mr. President, in view of the fact that sufficient justification has not been presented for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, I hope the Senate will not approve such additional expenditures as would be required for this purpose. In my opinion, the Attorney General has failed entirely to show a need for an additional assistant. Part III. of the bill as amended has been thoroughly discussed and I shall not dwell on that at this time. Part IV., which is the section dealing with what the advocates of the bill have said was the entire purpose of the bill, still has provisions which are objectionable to me. Section 131(c) still contains language which, to me, borders on an effort at thought control instead of providing an unneeded additional guaranty of the right to vote. Also, it gives the Attorney General undue authority. The section reads as follows: “(c) Whenever any person has engaged, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that any person is about to engage, in any act or practice which would deprive any other person of any right or privilege secured by subsection (a) or (b), the Attorney General may institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States, a civil action or other proper proceeding for preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order. In any proceeding hereunder the United States shall be liable for costs the same as a private person.” As long ago as February 26, when I appeared before the special Judiciary Subcommittee of the House of Representatives to testify against pending civil-rights bills, I expressed my opposition to the language contained in the section I. have just quoted. I do not believe it possible for the Attorney General, for any of his representatives, or for anybody else to determine what is in another person’s mind and whether he is about to engage in some violation of the law. If the Attorney General should attempt to ascertain what is going on in the minds of other persons, he will need soothsayers and prophets instead of an additional Attorney General. I object to this language because I do not believe it possible for any witness to testify truthfully that he knows another person was about to violate the law, unless some overt action had been taken by the accused person. Mr. President, an attempt to apply this provision against American citizens would be completely out of keeping with the guaranties of personal freedom contained in the Constitution and in the Bill of Rights. I object also to the authority granted the Attorney General in section (c) to “institute for the United States, or in the name of the United States,” a civil action or other court proceeding on behalf of a person without the consent of that person. Individuals have adequate legal remedies which they themselves may institute on their own behalf. It is not necessary to give the Attorney General this extreme power of absolute discretion to be exercised as he desires on behalf of some individual who may not wish to take court action or to have anybody else take such action on his behalf. If one of the duties of the proposed additional Assistant Attorney General would be to seek out persons and insist upon entering the courts on their behalf, this provision, combined with part II., provides another objection to the appointment of an Assistant Attorney General. The American system has never condoned the idea that a third party should stir up trouble between two other persons. Instead, the American system abhors troublemakers, especially when troublemaking takes the form of barratry. This form of troublemaking has been looked down upon much in the same way other lawyers look down upon their colleagues who chase ambulances. The United States Government should not be placed in this position of disrepute and certainly it should not be called upon to bear the expenses of such court proceedings. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which provides that— “(b) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.” No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States, should not be exhausted prior to Federal district courts taking jurisdiction in election-law violations. This could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 have spoken out strongly on behalf of the Federal courts during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. The laws of all the 48 States contain provisions protecting the right to vote. No additional protection is needed beyond existing State and Federal laws. In my own State of South Carolina, the constitution of 1895 required the general assembly to provide by law for the punishment of crimes against the election laws. That has been done. The State constitution further required a provision to permit a person to appeal to the State supreme court if he should be denied registration. The election law spells out the right of appeal to the State supreme court, and requires that the court hold a special session if one is not scheduled between the time of an appeal and the next election. South Carolina’s constitution also provides that no power, civil or military, shall at any time prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in the State. In pursuance of this constitutional provision, the South Carolina General Assembly has enacted laws for the punishment of anyone who threatens, mistreats, or abuses any voter in an effort to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage. These laws apply to all elections. Anyone who violates these laws is subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. Mr. President, in view of the existing laws of the States and the existing Federal laws, I now contend, as I have contended since the so-called civil-rights bills were introduced, that any qualified voter in the United States is fully protected in his right of suffrage. This bill, H. R. 6127, is unnecessary. It is an encroachment upon the rights of the States, and it infringes upon the rights of individuals when the Attorney General is empowered to take action on the behalf of any person without his consent. I believe this bill should be rejected, because of the various unnecessary and unconstitutional provisions which I have discussed. Part V. of the bill, which was added to insure and provide for trial by jury in proceedings to punish criminal contempts, is an amendment which I approved and voted for, but I do not consider it as strong as desirable. In my opinion, the bill which the senior Senators from Mississippi and Virginia and I introduced in the Senate last March should be approved, to provide best for the right of trial by jury for every American citizen. However, the addition of part V. to the bill makes it much less objectionable than the bill would have been without the assurance of trial by jury in criminal-contempt proceedings contained in part V. Mr. President, I want to reiterate my previous assertions that this bill is unnecessary, and in some respects unconstitutional. H. R. 6127 in its original form carried the label of being a right-to-vote bill; but when we unwrapped the package here in the Senate and examined it carefully, as we have, we found the label was entirely misleading. The so-called civil-rights bill should have been entitled “A bill to empower the Attorney General to deprive certain citizens of their right to trial by jury.” Also, it should have been labeled as an implement intended to be used to force integration of the races in the public schools. Happily, we examined the contents of the package, stripped off the old label, and advertised the deception so that every citizen could recognize the dangers wrapped in the package. The amendments which have been enacted have reduced the power which was intended to be placed in the hands of the Attorney General. They have removed the authority for the use of military forces in cases of alleged civil-rights violations. They have made the proposed Commission answerable to Congress as well as to the President, and have provided for the members to be subject to confirmation by the Senate. They have better defined and narrowed the powers of Federal judges in contempt proceedings. All of these amendments have vastly ameliorated the original obnoxiousness of H. R. 6127. However, nothing could entirely remove the objectionable features of this packaged bill of goods, submitted to the American people under a deceptive label. I shall vote against passage of H. R. 6127, because I believe that in so doing I shall be casting a vote for the preservation of our liberties, and for the preservation of constitutional government in this country.}} Mr. President, that was the statement which I made on the floor of the Senate in which I voiced vigorous objection to a number of provisions contained in H. R. 6127 as amended by the Senate. Of course, the Senate bill was the least obnoxious of all the many obnoxious forms of the bill. Mr. President, I now wish to discuss part IV. of H. R. 6127 and the 15th amendment to the Constitution. {{smaller block|PART IV.—TO PROVIDE MEANS OF FURTHER SECURING AND PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE}} Part IV. of the proposed civil-rights bill confers on the Attorney General the right to bring civil action and seek an injunction in a Federal district in the name of the United States if he believes any person is violating or about to violate either of two laws presently existing for the protection of voters. Let us examine the two laws the Attorney General seeks to enforce by civil suit or injunction. The first of these laws, presently appearing as section 2004 of the Revised Statutes of 1874—title 42, United States Code, section 1971—is actually section 1 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870—Sixteenth United States Statutes at Large, page 140. This bill, S. 810 and H. R. 1293, passed the respective Houses of Congress without debate on its merits under the rule on motion. This bill as it passed Congress contained in its second section a definite provision that civil damages to the aggrieved might be recovered through civil suit in the Federal courts. Furthermore, it provided for the obtaining of political office by civil suit through ''quo'' warrant proceedings in Federal courts. On May 20, 1870, an attempt was made in the Senate to allow third parties to sue in behalf of the aggrieved party. This is the same proposal contained in the present bill whereby the Attorney General would be allowed to bring civil action and seek injunctions. Even this radical 41st Congress would not accept any such proposition providing double penalties. The proposition in the present bill would provide double penalties because present law contained in both title 18, Section 242—Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law—and title 42, Section 1971—Race, Color, or Previous Condition Not To Affect Right to Vote—afford appropriate criminal and civil remedy. To show how the Senate in 1870 rejected such an idea of double penalties, let us examine the colloquy in the Senate on the proposal to allow someone other than the aggrieved to bring civil suit—Congressional Globe, volume 93, 41st Congress, 2d session, 1870, pages 3563–3564: {{smaller block|Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I understand I am in order in offering to amend the amendment. The {{sc|Presiding Officer}}. The amendment to the amendment is in order. Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I will repeat it, then, for the information of the Senate. I move to amend the Senate bill in section 2, line 15, by striking out the words “the person aggrieved thereby” and inserting “any person who shall sue for the same.” Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. I hope that this amendment will not be agreed to. There are now two views taken of this branch of the bill as it stands. One is that there ought not to be any provision at all for the party aggrieved; that it ought all to be out; and another view is that taken by my friend from Alabama, that it does not go far enough; that we ought not to confine this redress to the person whose vote is refused. The committee considered both those views, and thought, in analogy to State legislation and to the simple proprieties of justice, that this middle ground was the true one. If a voter is deprived of his right to vote by the misconduct of an official, it is a personal grievance to him, an actionable injury, for which all civilized laws give him redress in some form. It is true that in most States and countries no specific amount of damages is allowed, for the reason that it is thought safer, inasmuch as that might be a matter of speculation, to leave it under the circumstances of each case to be great or small, as a jury shall think it wise to make it. But in applying the 15th amendment, which is intended to secure the rights of a large class of the population of the United States, and to secure their rights in courts which may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, by juries who may be supposed not to be altogether friendly, in communities where the local officers are found to be those who deny the rights that the 15th amendment secures, we thought it wise not to leave it to an unfriendly jury to give only 1 penny damages, if a man under the 15th amendment was deprived of a right he had, but to fix the sum the party should be entitled to recover as his damages; and on the other hand, in a community where juries might be very favorable to the party aggrieved, we thought it right to impose upon juries a limit above which they ought not to go; so that they should not either give no damages at all nor excessive damages. This branch of the section, therefore, is framed upon that theory. It is to give to the person aggrieved, as damages for the deprivation of his rights as a citizen, a private right of his own, a right to sue, which all laws give; it would not be necessary to put that into the statute—he would have the right of action; but to fix the amount for each specific wrong to him {{SIC|whch|which}} he should be entitled to recover. Then we provide in another part of the bill, and perhaps in the same section, just as we ought to do if we are to have any law at all, that the officer guilty of this wrong to the citizen is also guilty of an offense against the public, a criminal misdemeanor, for which he may be indicted and fined, of course within certain limits, in the discretion of the court. I submit to my friend from Alabama whether, on the whole, this middle ground, which is defensible both by philosophy and by analogy, is not the true one. Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. I desire to make this bill as effective for the purpose intended as possible. The persons who will be aggrieved, particularly in our section of the country, will in the main be ignorant and timid persons, who will be afraid to sue. The fact that they may be afraid to go to the polls and vote is evidence that they will not perhaps have the courage and fearlessness to sue; but there may be some third party who would be willing to enforce the penalty. I think in the great majority of cases the person aggrieved would not avail himself of this provision. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Then, I suggest to my friend that he would not be entitled to any action at all under this section, because this is not a section to give every man $500 who is afraid to offer to do what he has a right to do; but it is to give him as damages the sum of $500 for a positive and specific denial to him of the exercise of a right that he attempts to exercise; otherwise, he would have no cause of action. You cannot give a right of action to anybody because he is intimidated. The intimidation part of the law must be purely criminal, and is found in another part of the bill. Mr. {{sc|Warner}}. But my amendment would give a remedy by enabling any other person than the party aggrieved to enforce the penalty. The party aggrieved I think in most cases would fail to enforce it; but some other party might. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Some other party may in his name. Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I desire to say a word in regard to the particular amendment now pending. This bill is for the purpose of enforcing the 15th amendment, which applies to colored voters, most of whom reside in the section of the country from which the Senator from Alabama and myself come. The great and most effectual means used to interfere with their exercise of the right secured to them by the 15th amendment is by intimidation, by violence. I think that the penalty which is named in this second section, to be enforced by the party aggrieved, would never be put into operation at all. The purpose of the bill is to protect those citizens against intimidation from voting. I confess that there is something in the suggestion of the Senator from Vermont, that there is no intimidation in this particular section aimed at. But, sir, it is perfectly sure that the very same means of intimidation which prevents a colored citizen from voting will be resorted to to prevent him from bringing this penal action, and unless the section is amended as suggested by the Senator from Alabama, I do not believe that an action will ever be brought in those States, because it is much more difficult for one of those citizens to bring and maintain a criminal action than it is for him to perform the single act of voting. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. Will my friend permit me to make a suggestion right there? Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. Certainly. Mr. {{sc|Edmunds}}. If you take out this penalty, as it is called, really liquidated damages, from the person who is aggrieved, whose right is denied, and who has suffered injury, and give it to anybody who will sue for it, it becomes a pure penalty. Then the question is, whether you can have a bill which contains double penalties; whether you are to punish, in the strict sense of punishment, a man twice for the same offense; because my friend will see that the section, in addition to giving these damages to the party aggrieved as damages, makes it a criminal misdemeanor, punishable on indictment and conviction by a fine of not less than $500 and imprisonment not less than a month nor more than a year. I suggest to my friend, who is a cultivated and educated lawyer, whether he would not in court find himself in great difficulty with a bill of double penalties, which were purely such. Mr. {{sc|Pool}}. I have never examined that question under the laws of the United States. I only know that is frequently done in my own State. We have statutes with double penalties, as referred to by the Senator, and we have never had any difficulty in that State with regard to them. But I understood the committee to mean by this section that there was danger in the States where it is principally to apply of not being able to obtain a grand jury who will find a bill of indictment, and that in the event no bill of indictment could be found before a grand jury the party aggrieved, or, if amended as the Senator from Alabama suggests, any person in the community may still punish the offender by bringing a penal action. It seems I had mistaken the purpose of the committee entirely from what is said by the Senator from Vermont. I think, nevertheless, the amendment had better be made, unless there really be that legal objection which the Senator suggests as to double penalties, so that it could not, under the laws of the United States and the practice of the United States courts, be enforced. If that were so, it would be conclusive that the amendment ought not to be adopted. I did not understand the Senator as expressing the positive opinion that such could not be done.}} Now, Mr. President, I shall discuss injunctions issuing from Federal district judges on the question of a person’s qualification for voting. The civil-rights bill in part IV. confers on the district courts of the United States jurisdiction to issue injunctions in civil-rights actions and it is to be assumed that these injunctions will concern, among other supposed rights, the right to vote. Actually appropriate remedy already exists where a person’s civil rights are violated. Section 242 of title 18, United States Code, provides a penalty and damages may be recovered in a civil action. The West Virginia Jehovah’s Witnesses case is a typical example of adequate remedy existing in such cases. In this case, the United States attorney was unable to get an indictment by the grand jury. He therefore proceeded to prosecute by information, as provided by rule 7(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and subsequently got a conviction. The information charged that two public officers, acting under color of law, had willfully deprived their victims of the Federal rights of free speech, freedom of religion, the right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law, and the right to equal protection of the laws. The conviction was upheld by the United States court of appeals—''Catlette'' v. ''U. S.'' ((1943) 132 F. 2d 902). Civil suits were brought by the Witnesses against their prosecutors—those who had deprived them of their rights—and a settlement was made totaling $1,170 in damages which was paid. How can the Congress vest jurisdiction in Federal courts to determine the qualifications of voters and allow Federal judges to issue injunctions in effect requiring that certain persons—the judge thinks are qualified—shall be registered and allowed to vote? The qualifications of voters are fixed and enumerated in the constitution of each sovereign State. For purposes of determining who is entitled to vote in each State for United States Representatives and Senators, the Federal Constitution simply adopts such qualifications as the State has fixed for voting for members of that State’s legislature. The language of article I., section 2, clause 3 of the United States Constitution reads: {{smaller block|The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several States, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.}} Similarly, the 17th amendment adopts for the purpose of electing United States Senators such qualifications as the States have fixed: {{smaller block|The Senate of the United States shall be composed of 2 Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for 6 years; and each Senator shall have 1 vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.}} In the fixing of qualifications of voters the States are limited only by the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment in that the right to vote may not be denied because of race or color or sex, respectively. That the respective States determine who are entitled to vote has never been seriously controverted. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the right to vote comes from the State. In declaring sections 3 and 4 of the old Enforcement Act of May 31, 1870, unconstitutional, the Supreme Court in 1875 said—''U. S.'' v. ''Reese'' ((1875) 92 U. S. 214, 217, 218); also ''Butts'' v. ''Merchants and Miners Transportation Co.'' ((1913) 230 U. S. 126): {{smaller block|The 15th amendment does not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone. It prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference, in this particular, to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Before its adoption, this could be done. It was as much within the power of a State to exclude citizens of the United States from voting on account of race, etc., as it was on account of age, one race having certain qualifications are permitted by law to vote, those of another having the same qualifications must be. Previous to this amendment, there was no constitutional guaranty against this discrimination; now there is. It follows that the amendment has invested the citizens of the United States with a new constitutional right which is within the protecting power of Congress. That right is exemption from discrimination in the exercise of the elective franchise on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This, under the express provisions of the second section of the amendment, Congress may enforce by appropriate legislation.}} This leads us to inquire whether the act now under consideration is appropriate legislation for that purpose. The power of Congress to legislate at all upon the subject of voting at State elections rests upon this amendment. The effect of article I., section 4, of the Constitution, in respect to elections for Senators and Representatives, is not now under consideration. It has not been contended, nor can it be, that the amendment confers authority to impose penalties for every wrongful refusal to receive the vote of a qualified elector at State elections. It is only when the wrongful refusal at such an election is because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, that Congress can interfere, and provide for its punishment: If, therefore, the third and fourth sections of the act are beyond that limit, they are unauthorized.}} Thus, if the 15th amendment has not conferred the right to vote upon anyone, how can Congress give a Federal judge authority to confer that right by injunction? The Attorney General knows that it is a settled principle of law that an injunction will not issue to prevent a crime. At the present time the laws governing enforcement of civil rights are criminal statutes and as such he seeks to have them reenacted as civil statutes so he can secure injunctions. An injunction is really a serious proposition. Actually an injunction is a proceeding in equity and not of law and under this principle since all of the States have adequate procedure for determining the qualifications of voters in courts of law, injunctions cannot issue in such cases. An injunction is actually the giving of validity to a judge’s own individual opinion. The injunction had its origin during the reign of Henry VIII., when Cardinal Wolsey augmented the authority of the Court of Chancery in exercising his equitable authority over everything that could be a matter of judicial inquiry. Both Wolsey and his successor, Sir Thomas More, were severely criticized by the English judiciary for issuing injunctions in equity and thereby substituting their individual opinions for the verdict of a jury in a common law court—the Law magazine, London, volume XXVII., 1870, pages 1–25. Such great importance is attached to the issuance of an injunction that Lord Correnham in his judgment in ''Brown'' v. ''Newall'' ((1870), 2 M. and C. 558, 570), said: {{smaller block|Now, that that ''ex parte'' injunction was an order which ought not to have been made, is not in dispute. It has been subsequently dissolved, and nothing is attempted (570) to be said in support of it at the bar; and it is impossible that it could have been sustained. The order was a departure from the known and established rule and practice of this court. Nothing is so difficult as to bring within any general rule every case in which a special injunction ought to be granted; but, when an action has regularly proceeded, and is on the very eve of trial, an ''ex parte'' injunction to stop it is an order such as I have not before seen. The vice chancellor appears to have stated that the order was made under some misapprehension of the facts; and indeed it is quite obvious that it must have been so, for the vice chancellor could not have made the order if the facts had been thoroughly understood. It is very probable that some facts were then supposed to exist which did not actually exist. I am not entitled, however, to assume that the order was made upon any other grounds than those stated in the affidavit which was used upon the application for the injunction; and I am, therefore, to see whether, on that affidavit, the parties have suppressed or misrepresented facts in such a way as was calculated to induce the court to grant the injunction. I am most unwilling to lay down any rule which should limit the power and discretion of the court as to the particular cases in which a special injunction should or should not be granted; but I have always felt—and since I have been upon the bench I have seen no reason to alter my opinion—that extreme danger attends the exercise of this part of the jurisdiction of the court, and that it is a jurisdiction which is to be exercised with extreme caution. It is absolutely necessary that the power should exist, because there are cases in which it is indispensable; but I believe that practically it does as much injustice as it promotes (571) justice; and it is, therefore, to be exercised with extreme caution. The court can have no ground upon which it can proceed, in granting an ''ex parte'' injunction, but a faithful statement of the case; and where the court has found a party misstating the case, either by misrepresentation or suppression, the court has always exercised its jurisdiction, for the purpose of repressing that practice; and I am desirous to abstain from putting, by anticipation, a limit to that power. The extent to which the court is to go in so doing is only to be determined by the case itself; but then it must appear, upon the affidavits, that there was such misrepresentation. Now the affidavit upon which the ''ex parte'' injunction was obtained certainly does not state all the facts; but the question is, whether there was any such suppression or misstatement as to lead the court to grant the injunction. I do not find on that affidavit that description of misrepresentation or suppression which, in my opinion, presented a case likely to procure a judgment on the application, but different from the case which really existed.}} Thus we can easily see, even if we had the power, that it would be a dangerous experiment to allow Federal district judges to issue injunctions on simple ''ex parte'' affidavits as is proposed in the present bill. And it might be possible under this proposal to assign New York or Vermont Federal judges to a crowded injunction calendar in Virginia to determine who is qualified to vote in that State. Section 134 of title 26, United States Code, simply requires that a district judge reside in the district or one of the districts for which he is appointed and does not preclude his assignment to another district. In fact, Chief Justice Warren under section 292 of the Judicial Code—title 28, United States Code—may assign California judges to South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 292. District judges: (a) The chief judge of a circuit may designate and assign one or more district judges within the circuit to sit upon the court of appeals or a division thereof whenever the business of that court so requires. Such designations or assignments shall be in conformity with the rules or orders of the court of appeals of the circuit. (b) The chief judge of a district may, in the public interest, designate and assign temporarily any district judge of the circuit to hold a district court in any district within the circuit. (c) The Chief Justice of the United States may designate and assign temporarily a district judge of one circuit for service in another circuit, either in a district court or court of appeals, upon presentation of a certificate of necessity by the chief judge or circuit justice of the circuit wherein the need arises. (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 901.)}} The Federal Enforcement Act of 1870 attempted to do just what this bill seeks to do, that is, take away from the States the control of their elections and place that control in the hands of federally appointed officials. If anyone has any doubts about the failure of the Enforcement Act or even its constitutionality he should read the various decisions of the United States Supreme Court declaring almost every section of the act unconstitutional. When Congress finally got around to repealing that act in 1893 here are some of the frauds cited in Congress as reasons for repeal. They included 19,000 fraudulent naturalization certificates being issued by a single judge in New York State. They included payment in fees from the United States Treasury to a single Federal supervisor of elections and commissioner of the Federal court the sum of $145,000. Interestingly enough, repeal was initiated by a New York Congressman. See {{sc|Congressional Record}}, Volume 25, pages 1959, 1808. Mr. President, on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, I made a motion in the Senate to have H. R. 6127 in its so-called compromise form referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. I pointed out that I believed it to be a dangerous procedure to allow bills to come over from the House of Representatives and be placed on the calendar of the Senate without being referred to the appropriate committee. However, my motion was voted down 66 to 18, so the bill is now before the Senate for consideration. Since very few Members of the Senate were present at that time to hear my objections to the present version of H. R. 6127, I shall present my arguments again. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution because that would be the result insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common-law cases. These guaranties were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historic document their complaints against denial of the right of trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. After declaring that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the signers of the Declaration pointed out that the King had a history of “repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object to the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States.” Then they proceeded to the listing of a bill of particulars against the King. He was charged with “depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.” That is what the Declaration of Independence contained. The King was charged, among other things, with depriving the American people of the benefit of trial by jury. That is the very thing I am fighting for—the right of trial by jury, which is contained in the Constitution, and embodied in it in quite a number of places. The compromise bill which comes from the House attempts to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The bill does not provide for a trial by jury unless the penalty is more than 45 days’ imprisonment or more than a $300 fine. That is a compromise of the Constitution. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. When the original Constitution was written there was placed in it article III., section 2, which guarantees the right of trial by jury. Then the Bill of Rights was adopted, and that right was provided in three different places. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and onetime Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. “The Bill of Rights,” he declared, “denies the power of any government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.” Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen? The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic law if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes, in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. When our forefathers met in 1787 in Philadelphia they wrote in article III., section 2, of the Constitution that in all crimes except treason a man shall be entitled to a jury trial. In several places in the Bill of Rights they wrote it again, with special emphasis in the sixth amendment that a man is entitled to a jury trial. Yet the compromisers brought forth a compromise which {{SIC|attemps|attempts}} to compromise the Constitution of the United States. We cannot compromise the Constitution of the United States. The compromise would have been unconstitutional if it had provided that if a judge wanted to punish for criminal contempt he could sentence the defendant to serve 1 day or fine him $1. He has no right to fine him $1 or give him 1 day’s punishment in prison without a jury trial, because the Constitution says that in a criminal case a man charged with crime is entitled to a jury trial. I cited last night a decision which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, and this so-called compromise which has come to the Senate is an effort of the Senate and the House of Representatives to get together, but in the effort to get together and pass a political bill—and that is all it is—they have been willing to compromise the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says, “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. If the Constitution had had an exception in it and read, “This shall not apply to criminal contempt or crimes of criminal contempt,” then there would be some basis for the Congress to legislate. But it did not make such an exception. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “The trial of ''all'' crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. What right has a Federal judge to use his discretion and tell a man he can be tried by a jury? The Constitution says if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to be tried by a jury if he wants to be tried by a jury. In the Constitution there is no exception of criminal contempt or any exception that gives a judge the power to try a man so charged rather than a jury. We are dealing with the basic rights of the people of this Nation and we should be careful to protect those precious rights which have been handed down to us by our forefathers. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. We cannot make trial by jury a matter of degree. If the Constitution gives a man the right of trial by jury, he has that right and we cannot take it away from him. The Congress cannot take it away. Furthermore, this compromise pretends to let the judge try the case if he wants to do so, in his discretion. Then if he finds the defendant ought to be punished by a fine in excess of $300 or by imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the man is entitled to a trial by jury. Do you not know, Mr. President, that if a judge has already tried a man, and then the defendant asks for a jury trial, the judge’s decision is bound to affect the jury in the case strongly, even if it were constitutional for that to be done, which it is not? Under this proposal if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days in prison he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of punishment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. I realize that Congress may want to get away from Washington. We have had a long, hard session. I also realize that both national parties are playing to the minorities by means of the right-to-vote bill, when each State in the Nation has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and section 594 of the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure protects the right to vote. Yet, as a political gesture, both parties are making this play to try to claim credit. Watch my prediction that in the elections of 1958 both parties will try to claim that they got the civil-rights bill through the Congress. Why are we not more interested in preserving the Constitution? Are we going to violate the Constitution by passing a political civil-rights bill in order to give thunder and political fodder to politicians to enable them to garner votes? Which is more important, the Constitution of this country or the political parties vying for the votes of minorities? I wish to see the right to vote exercised by every man who is qualified to vote and who wants to vote. If he is entitled to vote, I want to see him vote. But the true purpose of this bill is not to insure the right to vote, because we have statutes in every State, and we have statutes on the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure now already that punish people interfering with anybody trying to vote. If the statutes we now have on the books are not being enforced, what good will it do to put another statute on the books? If the Justice Department is claiming that there are any individuals who have been denied their right to vote, why does it not prosecute them under the present law, which is completely adequate? And if no people have been denied the right to vote, then why is it claimed that this bill is necessary? The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents and in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is the vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. Perhaps the House and the Senate wanted to get together and they thought this was the only way they could do it, but I want to tell the American people when they did get together and brought forth this compromise they violated the Constitution of the United States. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill. Like father, like son; a chip off the old block. Both are bad. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of the fine—or even 1 cent—and if a day, or even an hour, were added to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial, and a jury would decide the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. The proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was passed by the Senate. The inclusion by the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, made the bill a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, the present unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope a majority of the Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the ''bloc'' voting of the pivotal states. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about. Those are the words of Stewart Alsop; and he is not a southerner, so far as I know. To explain his point, he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States, Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election. The following four paragraphs are quoted directly from Mr. Alsop’s column: {{smaller block|In 1954, Averell Harriman was elected Governor of New York by less than 15,000 votes over Senator {{sc|Irving Ives}}. According to Harris’ analysis, Harriman polled a whopping 79 percent of the Negro vote. Negro voters thus supplied Harriman with his margin of victory several times over. Two years later, the Democrats had dropped some 90,000 Negro votes to the Republicans—or about 6 times the number of votes {{sc|Ives}} needed to defeat Harriman. Or take another close race—the victory of Senator {{sc|Joseph Clark}}, of Pennsylvania, over the Republican incumbent, Senator James Duff, in 1956. Again, {{sc|Clark}} just squeaked in, with a plurality of less than 18,000 votes. {{sc|Clark}}, despite the Supreme Court, carried the Negro vote by a huge 76 percent margin, which was worth about 150,000 votes to him. Suppose the Negro vote had dropped off as sharply in Pennsylvania as it did in Illinois, where it nosedived from 75 percent in 1952 to 58 percent in 1956. Then Duff would be in the Senate by a comfortable majority, and {{sc|Clark}} would be practicing law. Other examples could be cited, like that of Senator {{sc|Paul Douglas}}, of Illinois, who owes about 60 percent of his 1954 plurality to the Negro vote. But the lesson is clear enough. If the Republicans can attract something approaching half the Negro vote in the Northern States, the Republican Party will then be the normal majority party in those States. Read the role of big States in which the Negroes can be expected to poll 5 percent or more of the total vote—not only New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, but such States as Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and California. It then becomes clear what is at stake in the civil-rights struggle—nothing less than the future balance of political power in the Nation.}} But, Mr. President, are we going to compromise the Constitution, whether we lose an election or not? Which is more important—to win an election or to preserve the Constitution? It is about time that both parties began to consider the welfare of the country and to determine whether the Constitution is of more importance, or whether winning an election is of more importance. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today; but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law, eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of the bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Under the provisions of the compromise, jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge, so long as the sentence he metes does not exceed the maximum limit set for denying trial by jury. The proponents of the bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim, the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When the bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted the great legal mind of 18th century England, Blackstone. Because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him again at this time. This is what Blackstone had to say: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law. And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} That is what Blackstone, the leading legal light the world has known, had to say. I wish to repeat one of his sentences: {{smaller block|And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} Mr. President, a trial by jury is one of the bedrocks of this democracy. It is one of the bedrocks of this Nation. It is one of the bedrocks of this Government. When we talk to people in the street and to laymen generally about taking away their right of trial by jury, they cannot understand it, because they know that the Constitution provides that a man shall have a trial by jury when he is charged with the commission of a crime. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen, chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth, and the surest guardians of public justice. For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan of the United States Supreme Court delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions. The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, that is a significant statement to me, coming from a member of the present Supreme Court. I will not predict what the Court might do when the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury as embodied in this so-called compromise is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience.}} And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the people of this Nation want Federal judges to have the power to punish persons for criminal contempt by sentences of either days, weeks, or months in jail, or by fines of dollars, they can amend the Constitution and provide for it. If the people of this country want Federal judges to have the discretion of determining whether a person shall have a jury trial or not, then they can amend the Constitution and so provide. There is no provision and no exception for either instance in the present Constitution. That is certainly a clue to what might be expected from the Court when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. I think what the Supreme Court did in the ''Reid'' against ''Covert'' case might be a clue to what it might do, or what might be expected of the Court, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all of the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State. A summary of these laws was submitted to me, and I request that this summary be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. The people of my State vote. I am in favor of qualified people voting. All the people of my State vote if they are qualified. Whence comes this hue and cry? Those raising it have not presented the matter to the Judiciary Committee, so the chairman of that committee may hold hearings. They have held hearings for weeks and months on the subject, and the proponents of the bill have failed to present evidence to show that people do not have the right to vote. It is inescapable, as I have said, that this is a political bill and not a bill to provide the right to vote. The people already have that privilege. If any such incident as a refusal to permit a citizen to vote had occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. The people of the States are interested in justice just as are the officials of the Federal Government, but I shall return to that subject in a few minutes and go into the matter of the Federal statutes a little more fully. We have Federal statutes to protect the right to vote, if the voters are not satisfied with the State statutes, and certainly the Federal statutes protect them. I say that the Negro citizens in South Carolina are safeguarded in their rights; and the payment of a poll tax is not required. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. As I have said, South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. Registration is necessary only once every 10 years. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that the poll tax be repealed as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature acted promptly and submitted the matter to the people, and the people voted in favor of repeal of the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature approved it, and we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina, if proof is desired, can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia, S. C., Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that “estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina constitution which protect a citizen’s right to vote: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}}}} Article 1, section 9, suffrage: The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting, under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct. Article 1, section 10, elections free and open: All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office. Article 2, section 5, appeal; crimes against election laws: Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws. Article 2, section 8, registration provided; elections; board of registration; books of registration: The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the 1st of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times. Article 2, section 15, right of suffrage free: No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the record to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|South Carolina Code, title 23}}}} 23–73. Appeal from denial of registration. The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court. 23–74. Proceedings to court of common pleas. Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as Calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''. 23–75. Further appeal to supreme court. From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make. If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} In other words, in our State, if anybody has an appeal and it goes before the trial judge and he denies it, the supreme court will go into session in order to hear such a case so as to be sure that nobody is deprived of the right to vote. {{smaller block|23–100. Right to vote. No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct. But if the name of any registered elector does not appear or incorrectly appears on the registration books of his polling precinct he shall, nevertheless, be entitled to vote upon the production and presentation to the managers of election of such precinct, in addition to his registration certificate, of a certificate of the clerk of the court of common pleas of his county that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in such clerk’s office or a certificate of the secretary of state that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in the office of the secretary of state. 23–349. Voter not to take more than 5 minutes in booth; talking in booth, etc. No voter, while receiving, preparing and casting his ballot, shall occupy a booth or compartment for a longer time than 5 minutes. No voter shall be allowed to occupy a booth or compartment already occupied by another, nor to speak or converse with anyone, except as herein provided, while in the booth. After having voted, or declined or failed to vote within 5 minutes, the voter shall immediately withdraw from the voting place and shall not enter the polling place again during the election. 23–350. Unauthorized persons not allowed within guard rail; assistance. No person other than a voter preparing his ballot shall be allowed within the guard rail, except as herein provided. A voter who is not required to sign the poll list himself by this title may appeal to the managers for assistance and the chairman of the managers shall appoint one of the managers and a bystander to be designated by the voter to assist him in preparing his ballot. After the voter’s ballot has been prepared the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail. 23–656. Procuring or offering to procure votes by threats. At or before every election, general, special, or primary, any person who shall, by threats or any other form of intimidation, procure or offer or promise to endeavor to procure another to vote for or against any particular candidate in such election shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500 or be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than 1 month nor more than 6 months, or both by such fine and such imprisonment, in the discretion of the court. 23–657. Threatening or abusing voters, etc. If any person shall, at any of the elections, general, special, or primary, in any city, town, ward, or polling precinct, threaten, mistreat, or abuse any voter with a view to control or intimidate him in the free exercise of his right of suffrage, such offender shall upon conviction thereof suffer fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the court. 23–658. Selling or giving away liquor within 1 mile of voting precinct. It shall be unlawful hereafter for any person to sell, barter, give away, or treat any voter to any malt or intoxicating liquor within 1 mile of any voting precinct during any primary or other election day, under a penalty, upon conviction thereof, of not more than $100 nor more than 30 days’ imprisonment with labor. All offenses against the provisions of this section shall be heard, tried, and determined before the court of general sessions after indictment. 23–659. Allowing ballot to be seen, improper assistance, etc. In any election, general, special, or primary, any voter who shall (a) except as provided by law, allow his ballot to be seen by any person, (b) take or remove or attempt to take or remove any ballot from the polling place before the close of the polls, (c) place any mark upon his ballot by which it may be identified, (d) take into the election booth any mechanical device to enable him to mark his ballot, or (e) remain longer than the specified time allowed by law in the booth or compartment after having been notified that his time has expired and requested by a manager to leave the compartment or booth and any person who shall (a) interfere with any voter who is inside of the polling place or is marking his ballot, (b) unduly influence or attempt to influence unduly any voter in the preparation of his ballot, (c) endeavor to induce any voter to show how he marks or has marked his ballot, or (d) aid or attempt to aid any voter by means of any mechanical device whatever in marking his ballot shall be fined not exceeding $100 or be imprisoned not exceeding 30 days. 23–667. Illegal conduct at elections generally. Every person who shall vote at any general, special, or primary election who is not entitled to vote and every person who shall by force, intimidation, deception, fraud, bribery, or undue influence obtain, procure, or control the vote of any voter to be cast for any candidate or measure other than as intended or desired by such voter or who shall violate any of the provisions of this title in regard to general, special, or primary elections shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 or by imprisonment in jail for not less than 3 months nor more than 12 months or both, in the discretion of the court.}} Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, proves that there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right-to-vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a Commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) Study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and (3) Appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an unusual grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and nonpolitical, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department is not needed because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed, and he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved, and there is no indication that conditions will change unless the Attorney General and the Civil Rights Commission create trouble, there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of civil-rights matters in the Department of Justice. Mr. President, permit me to digress in order to discuss certain matters pertaining to the Bill of Rights. I have before me a book entitled “Our Bill of Rights: What It Means To Me—A National Symposium,” edited by James Waterman, Wisconsin: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Foreword}}}} Things of the spirit never die. They flame anew each time they are under fire. They are flaming high at this moment. Bombs may blow the body to bits, but they bind the soul together. This book is testimony to the spirit of man; to his personality; to his right to be decent. From the beginning of time men have had to fight for this sort of life. The fight has never been easy, but it has always been won. As long as men believe in freedom they will achieve it. The Dark Ages shall not return. When freedom dies man lives on his knees. When freedom lives man walks erect. The Bill of Rights is our prayer book and our promise of salvation. The cause of freedom is the cause of God. That is the dedication of this volume. None of us is wise enough to say finally what one event is the greatest in our history. There are some that cry aloud for that description: The Declaration of Independence; the Treaty of Paris, ending the Revolutionary War; the adoption of the Constitution; the pronouncement of the Monroe Doctrine; the Emancipation Proclamation; the end of the War Between the States; the war for freedom and democracy, begun in 1917—and still going on. I have left to the last, although it belongs at the top, the formulation and adoption of the Bill of Rights—the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, adopted by the baby nation December 15, 1791. In this group of principles are to be found the soul and spirit of the Constitution. With the Bill of Rights added, the Constitution becomes nearly a perfect thing. Without the bill, the seven articles of the original draft are largely given over to the protection of property. Jefferson, shocked by the omissions in the Constitution, as promulgated in 1789, while he was United States Minister to France (another type of France than Vichy represents today), drafted the additions to our great charter. Thus we were given the four freedoms by which we grew strong in self-reliance, in courage, in independence, and in self-respect. The amendments gave us free speech, free press, free worship, free assembly, and also the right to petition. They gave us full protection Of the citizen against oppression; the right of trial by jury and, generally, the right of the individual against the state. Jefferson said himself, speaking in the prophetic tone that is true of great men: “The Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government.” This publication is testimony to an immortal writing that will live with the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, Magna Carta, and those other great fountains of faith by which men live. Today we fight again for the ideals that democracy gives to us as rights. We shall never lose them; the whole world some day will achieve them. To help all of us to realize the high privilege we have of living under the Bill of Rights, the thoughts contained herein were put in words by men and women who believe the fires of freedom must always burn brightly and sometimes fiercely. Now is one of those times. {{right| {{sc|Herbert Bayard Swope,}}{{em|6}}<br /> {{font-size-x|100%|''Chairman, Bill of Rights Sesquicentennial Committee''.}} }} Jefferson himself said, speaking in the prophetic tone that is true of great men: “The Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government.” This publication is testimony to an immortal writing that will live with the Ten Commandments; the Sermon on the Mount; Magna Carta; and those other great fountains of faith by which men live.

Now is one of those times. {{***|5}} America is face to face with certain grim realities. It is apparent that the expense attached to the defense effort will run into an appalling sum. The sweeping readjustments that will eventually reach every family are becoming clearer by the day. The need for redirection of our whole economy in order to supply plants which manufacture implements of war with an abundance of raw materials is now painfully obvious. Yes, the world that we know is being re-fashioned. But so be it, and although the disappearance of familiar patterns and habits of living brings a momentary shock, there must be no regrets, no longing backward glances. Neither can we afford to hang our heads, wring our hands and insist that we cannot defend democracy without destroying it. After all, the only disaster that will overtake us is the disaster that comes from indecision and inaction. I like to remind myself of the origin of the Bill of Rights. It came into being at a time of great distress and clearly represented the desires of the people who had paid a high price for their independence, and were determined to keep it. Since that time it has weathered an internal conflict, foreign wars, periods of economic depression. Even during these emergencies there has been no foreshortening of the scope of the Bill of Rights, nor has its fundamental character been altered. Invariably after these crises have passed each American has turned his face homeward and found, to his intense joy, his personal liberty inviolate. This augurs well for the future. Perhaps the destructive forces loose in the world will assume more awesome proportions than any yet seen; perhaps the dangers and hardships of the civilian population will be greater than ever before; but I cannot believe that these new developments will serve to swerve us from our course any more than the vicissitudes of the past. Undoubtedly it will mean a vigilant citizenry constantly on guard. But we have that. Undoubtedly it will mean leadership of the highest quality, but we have that, too. In fact, I can think of no more impressive reiteration of belief in the Bill of Rights than that made by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his message to Congress last January: “In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. “The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world. “The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world. “The third is freedom from want. * * * “The fourth is freedom from fear. * * * “That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb. “This Nation has placed its destiny in the hands, heads, and hearts of its millions of free men and women, and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose. “To that high concept there can be no end save victory.”}} Mr. President, those were the words of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in speaking of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees a jury trial to the people of the United States, but which the so-called compromise civil-rights bill would deprive the people of. I read further: {{smaller block|We accept our liberty, as we do our health, pretty much as a matter of course, hardly giving it a thought until we begin to lose it. Then we become conscious of how much it means. Experience throughout the long period of human history teaches that liberty must be won in every generation and can be held only by eternal vigilance. As foes of freedom the aggressors reappear with different weapons, but always with the same aim—to destroy the souls of freemen. That religion and democracy are closely linked together is a truism proved amply in the history of our country. The American colonies were settled by men and women seeking a free life, as well as a home for freedom. Religion was written prominently into their agreements, covenants, pacts, and constitutions, but the early colonists made no provision for the the free exercise of religion. Those who had fled before the demands of conformity later determined by law that others must conform or get out of the colony. It was said of Governor Endicott of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, if he had found toleration in his dictionary, he would have cut the word out, just as he drew his sword and cut the red cross out of the English flag because it represented the ancient Catholic faith of England. This attitude, formulated into law and supported by stern preaching, led to the founding of Rhode Island by Roger Williams and his associates. They were the first ones to put into practice the principle of the independence of the individual conscience even beyond the grants of liberty by the State. Maryland was founded by a small company of Catholics seeking freedom of worship in 1634, only 14 years after the Protestant Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth. Under Lord Baltimore’s liberal rule there developed a large degree of freedom in religion, as well as a remarkable advance in democratic procedure. The people of Maryland not only took part in making their laws but were given power to originate laws. No other colony at the time enjoyed quite as much freedom, and in 1649 the assembly passed the Toleration Act which confirmed by law these liberties. Following this action, Maryland became the refuge not only for the oppressed Catholics from England, but Protestants from some of the other American colonies, Puritans from Virginia, Quakers, and others who found congenial homes in this colony.}} It is true that the Toleration Act was not very broad in that it tolerated only those of the Christian religion, but it was a step forward on the road to liberty and marked a greater advance than anything even in England at the time. It remained for the colony at Providence, R. I., to advance the act of toleration by granting full religious freedom to Christians and Jews and even to those without any religious affiliation or belief. The act affirmed “that men of all religions should live unmolested so long as they behaved themselves.” The Bill of Rights provides for freedom of religion. Our Bill of Rights provides for many vital rights which we enjoy. The study of the Constitution should be an essential part not only of the education of the American youth, but of all Americans, and especially those who have become naturalized citizens of this great Nation. While all of us cannot be trained in the technicalities of the law, we should have some idea of our fundamental institutions. We need to know their relationship to our daily life, the reasons for their existence, and the benefits we derive from them, as well as the importance to ourselves of their perpetuation. The Constitution is not self-perpetuating by any means; if it is to survive it will be because it has the support of the people—not passive, but active public support. This means making adequate sacrifice to maintain that which is of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. The Constitution has its roots in the great and heroic past of the English-speaking race. Today, under that Constitution which was adopted through the blood and sweat of the pioneers of our country, the safeguard of personal liberty is ever present. Under our great Bill of Rights our governmental power is divided into three parts. The first is the power granted to the Central Government; the second that reserved to the States; and the third, and by far the most important, although at times the fact may not be generally recognized, the power reserved to the people under the many inhibitions upon both State and Federal legislation. In the turmoil which now seems to have engulfed the entire world, the citizens of the United States should well remember particularly that it is the people, those who go to make up the great cross-section of this country, who must guard the ramparts from the ever-increasing dangers of nazism, fascism, and communism. Our Constitution is the final safeguard of every right that is enjoyed by any American citizen. So long as it is observed, those rights will be secure, but should it fall into disrespect or disrepute the way of orderly, organized government as we have known it for the past 150 years will be at an end. When the Federal Constitution was, on September 28, 1787, submitted by Congress to the legislatures of the several States for ratification, there was very strong opposition to its adoption in all the States. The Democrats, under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, feared that the provisions of the instrument would unduly abridge States rights and result in a Government too highly centralized for their views. It was necessary for nine States to ratify the Constitution before it could take effect. It was not until June 21, 1788, that the ninth State, New Hampshire, gave its approval. The States which had not ratified up to that time were Virginia, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Virginia and New York gave their assent in 1788. When President Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, on the steps of the Federal Hall in New York, neither North Carolina nor Rhode Island had ratified and, therefore, were not States of the United States. These two reluctant States did, however, come into line. North Carolina ratified on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The Bill of Rights was a pacer in the democratic movement in America and as such is entitled to all the prestige of leadership. Yet it really took a century after its enactment for American women to procure the 19th amendment to the Federal Constitution which compelled reluctant States to grant them the basic right of the free—the right to vote. Non-Christian men and freethinkers of their sex more readily wrested from State legislatures the guaranty of their civil rights. But even the original Bill of Rights would have been a dead letter if dauntless men and women, risking death, had not taught the public to listen without rioting to opinions which it abhorred. That educational process enabled the letter of the law to live in practice, or application, for the American way of life. In celebrating the original Bill of Rights now, we should celebrate with it the courage and skill of the men and the women who made tolerance a fact as well as a principle of law. The open forum, so characteristic of American democracy, owes its inception and its continuation to persons of both sexes who insisted that law and practice were parts of the same thing. That rights carry duties has become a third aspect of democratic evaluations, nurtured on free debates. It is increasingly understood in America that liberty could become license; that rights if viewed as extreme personal privileges could reduce society to anarchy. There is today, in connection with rights, the wide prevalence of the philosophy that rights are granted to individuals in order that they may develop their talents for competent voluntary cooperation in the thought and action essential to the strength of society, to general welfare, and to the very endurance of civil liberties themselves. A history of civilization could be written around the derivation of the privileges that constitute our Bill of Rights. The emphasis would be not on rulers and governments but on the struggle mankind has waged for centuries to obtain recognition of the rights of individual men. These rights are guaranties necessary to any people who wish to live in the free atmosphere of liberty. They are the foundation of any government that exists by the free will of the governed and not by the military force of self-appointed rulers. The history of our own Bill of Rights is fired with the determination of the American people to preserve their liberties as individuals living in a free state. It is significant that these first 10 amendments in our Constitution were drawn from earlier declarations of rights which a number of the Original Thirteen States had formulated for themselves before they joined the Union. They not only served as models for our Federal Constitution but became basic patterns for new democracies all over the world. Today there is abroad in the world a monstrous force that would set the clock back and reestablish regimes that rank the state above the individual. Already in many lands fundamental rights have been destroyed; and the existence of our own is threatened. Such crises have occurred before in the history of man but never with such ruthless vehemence and on such a worldwide scale. Mr. President, there are many objections to H. R. 6127, but the strongest objection is the failure to give a jury trial. I wish now to present to the Senate some information on the jury trial and I shall go into the historical development of the jury system. This information is coming from the History of the Jury System, by Maximus A. Lesser, instructor of political science, New York Evening High School. Some very important points are brought out here about the jury system which are pertinent to this debate. {{smaller block|{{c| {{sc|Historical Development of the Jury System}} (By Maximus A. Lesser) {{asc|CHAPTER I. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE JURY}} }} The subject we propose to investigate is the historical genesis and gradual development of an institution which, today is an inseparable element of English jurisprudence and an important factor in the administration of justice, wherever the English or common law, “* * * the State’s collected will, o’er thrones and globes elate, sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.” This purpose is not free from difficulties, for, while the nature and functions of the tribunal, as today existent, are sufficiently well comprehended, still the origin of that institution and the successive steps by which it was evolved are less clearly understood and subject to considerable misconception, as is evinced by the many and conflicting theories advanced in explanation thereof. It is the object of this treatise to reconcile, as far as may be, these various views, to give to each well sustained suggestion its proper weight and effect during the formative period, and to trace its influence in the production of the result. The method of treatment is, in general, chronological; for the English jury is so closely interwoven with the historical and political development of the English nation, that every component which contributed to the formation and completion of the latter had a concomitant effect upon the former; accordingly, the history and features of each foreign factor will be described in connection with that period of our history at which it first made itself felt. For to the jury may be truly applied, what Maine says of law, that it is a matter of growth, the result of the needs of the community in which it originated; and an institution—as another writer well observes—which “does not owe its existence to any positive law; it is not the creature of an act of Parliament establishing the form and defining the functions of the new tribunal. It arose * * * silently and gradually out of the usages of a state of society which has forever passed away.” We will, in the first place, regard its general aspect and characteristics as beheld today, and then proceed to consider whether, and in what respects, it is resembled by institutions of early days. The body with which we have to deal—in the language of an able Scotch jurist—“is the institution by which disputed facts are to be decided for judicial purposes in the administration of civil or criminal justice, and which is in modern times familiar to us under the denomination of trial by jury. * * * The etymological derivation of the term is obviously from ''juro'', to swear, whence we find this institution called in forensic Latin ''jurata'', and the persons composing it ''jurati''. * * * When the object is inquiry only, this tribunal is sometimes called an inquest or inquisition, as in the instance of a grand jury or coroner’s inquest; but when facts are to be determined by it for judicial purposes, it is always styled a jury.” This board of inquiry, then, is composed of “a body of men taken from the community at large, summoned to find the truth of disputed facts. Their office is to decide upon the effect of evidence and thus inform the court truly upon the question at issue, in order that the latter may be enabled to pronounce a right judgment. But they are not the court itself nor do they form part of it; and have nothing to do with the sentence which follows the delivery of their verdict.” While, concerning the third characteristic element of our jury, De Lolme wrote that they who have the power to discriminate between disputed facts and “to whom the law has thus exclusively delegated the prerogative of deciding that a punishment is to be inflicted—those men without whose declaration the executive and the judicial powers are both thus bound down to inaction, do not form among themselves a permanent body, who may have had time to study how their power can serve to promote their private views or interest; they are men selected at once from among the people, who perhaps never were before called to the exercise of such a function, nor foresee that they ever shall be called to it again.” In other words, the jury is the sole judge of the weight of evidence adduced and the arbiter of compensation for contracts broken or injuries sustained, and is composed of men selected by lot and “sworn to declare the facts of a case as they are delivered from the evidence placed before them”—its province being to determine the truth of facts or the amount of damages in civil, and the guilt or innocence of the accused in criminal, cases. This province is confined by the following limitations: (1) It is restricted to the consideration of matters proved by evidence at the trial; (2) It is subject to the instructions of the judge, concerning the rules of law applicable; (3) It is influenced by the directions of the judge, as to weight, value, and materiality of evidence; (4) It is affected by the selection of the jurors from the locality of the action, whence they discharge their duties with a certain amount of independent local knowledge, whilom “counted on, and deemed essential to a just consideration of the case.” Two other qualifications may be added. After the rendition of a verdict in a civil case, it is still within the power of the trial judge to modify or even annul the same, in a proper case; for instance, “because the verdict is for excessive or insufficient damages, or otherwise contrary to the evidence or contrary to law.” Again, in a criminal case, a verdict of conviction, even when accompanied by a recommendation of mercy, does not control the sentence to be meted out by the presiding magistrate, who may impose the highest or lowest or any intermediate penalty prescribed by law as proper for the offense committed. How, then, did this institution, whose features as currently administered have just been described, originate? What are the sources from whence it arose, and the forces by which it was developed? Did it spring forth, like Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, ready for action and fully equipped with forensic vesture and legal armament, or was its development the result of the gradual accretion of successive strata of growth? As stated above, various and conflicting theories are advanced to answer these queries. “Many writers of authority,” says Canon Stubbs, “have maintained that the entire jury system indigenous in England, some deriving it from Celtic tradition based on the principles of Roman law, and adopted by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans from the people they had conquered, others have regarded it as a product of that legal genius of the Anglo-Saxons of which Alfred is the mythic impersonation, or as derived by that nation from the customs of primitive Germany or from their intercourse with the Danes. Nor even, when it is admitted that the system of recognition was introduced from Normandy, have legal writers agreed as to the source from which the Normans themselves derived it. One scholar maintains that it was brought by the Norsemen from Scandinavia; another, that it was derived from the processes of the Canon Law; another, that it was developed on Gallic soil from Roman principles; another, that it came from Asia through the Crusades.” An American authority insists that it “is undoubtedly a development of English institutions and civilization.” Again, it is suggested that it was borrowed by the Angles and Saxons from their Slavonic neighbors in northern Europe; it has been traced to the assises de Jerusalem of Godfrey de Bouillon; it is even claimed to be of divine origin; and, finally, a French scholar despairingly exclaims: “Son origine se perd dans la niut de temps.” According to Robertson, “the true answer is, that forms of trial resembling the jury system in various particulars are to be found in the primitive institutions of all [Aryan] nations. That which comes nearest in time and character to trial by jury is the system of recognition by sworn inquest, introduced into England by the Normans * * * the instrument which the lawyers in England ultimately shaped into trial by jury.” The name “Recognition,” Bracton tells us, is deduced from the fact that the participants “acknowledged” a disseisin or dispossession by their verdict, and the inquest itself was “directly derived from the Frank capitularies, into which it may have been adopted from the fiscal regulations of the Theodosian Code and thus own some distant relationship with the Roman jurisprudence.” This is the system which, Lord Campbell writes, “in the fifth Norman reign had nearly superseded the simple juridical institutions of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors;” while an eminent American jurist, after observing that investigation has shown among Norman legal usages traces more closely resembling our form of jury trial than anything afforded by the system of the Anglo-Saxons, concludes: “We regard it, therefore, as certain that all these influences contributed to establish this mode of trial in England, and to shape it as we know it to exist there. Indeed, it was not until all of them had had an opportunity of completing their work, that we find what we should now call a jury.” A due regard for the definiteness of legal phraseology calls for some comment on the meaning of “law and fact,” terms so frequently employed in the course of this work. Law, in its widest sense, is a rule of action; in its technical sense, it is a general rule of human action, taking cognizance only of external acts, enforced by a determinate human authority paramount within a state. Whether the rule so enforced be moral or pernicious, is impertinent to the question. “The existence of law is one thing, its merit or demerit another.” Again, “although human actions are the subject-matter about which law is conversant, they are not essential to its existence; for the rule is the same, whether its application is called forth or not. * * * The rule continues in abstraction and theory, until an act is done on which it can attach. * * * The maxim, ''ex facto oritur jus'' must be understood in this sense; and the duty of judicial tribunals, consequently, embraces the investigation of doubtful or disputed facts, as well as the application of the principles of jurisprudence to such as are ascertained.” Fact is a term most difficult to define—so much so that Mr. Justice Stephen (in the third edition of his Digest of the Law of Evidence) abandoned the attempt previously made. Webster’s definition (ed. 1859) is: “Anything done, or that comes to pass; an act; a deed; an effect produced or achieved; an event.” Negatively, a learned American jurist suggests that “nothing is a question of fact which is not a question of the existence, reality, truth of something.” Anything which is the subject of testimony is “matter of fact,” while “matter of law” is the general law of the land of which courts take judicial cognizance. Evidence is the means or method by which a fact under judicial examination may be proved or disproved. “Whether there be any evidence, is a question for the judge. Whether sufficient evidence, is for the jury.” In any event, it is clear that the formula of Coke, hereinabove quoted, “was never meant to be taken absolutely. * * * It relates to issues of fact, and not to the incidental questions that spring up before the parties are at issue. The jury has to do with only a limited class of questions of fact, namely, questions of ultimate fact.” “In general, issues of fact, and only issues of fact, are to be tried by jury; when they are so tried, the jury and not the court are to find the facts, and the court and not the jury is to give the rule of law; the jury are not to refer the evidence to the judge and ask his judgment upon that, but are to find the facts which the evidence tends to establish, and may only ask the court for judgment upon these.”}} Mr. President, I shall next take up the history of the jury system of the Anglo-Saxons: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Chapter VI.—The System of the Anglo-Saxons}}}} As regards the manner of men who now directed the destinies of England—for under that name (derived from the Angles) the island is henceforth known—and who indelibly impressed their characteristics upon it, and concerning their status in the scale of civilization, a graphic description is afforded us by the same historian. They “were little removed from the original state of nature; the social confederacy among them was more martial than civil; they had chiefly in view the means of attack and defense against public enemies, not those of protection against their fellow citizens; their possessions were so slender and so equal that they were not exposed to great danger, and the natural bravery of the people made every man trust to himself and to his particular friends for his defense. * * * An insult upon any man was regarded by his relations and associates as a common injury; they were bound by honor, as well as by a sense of common interest, to revenge his death or any violence which he had suffered; they retaliated on the aggressor by like acts of violence; and if he were protected, as was natural and unusual, by his own clan, the quarrel was spread still wider and bred endless disorders in the nation.” Such, then, was the state of civilization which the Saxons enjoyed, and such the social and political structure which superseded the administration of the Romans. For almost four centuries the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms—true to the characteristics of their founders—present a history of uninterrupted warfare, bloodshed and internecine strife, though Christianity had meanwhile prevailed among them. Wessex, however, gradually acquired the hegemony, and in A. D. 827 its King Egbert succeeded in securing his acknowledgment as supreme head of the heptarchy, with which event the history of the English nation properly begins. Concerning their civil and social condition, at this period, after a sojourn of 400 years on English soil, it appears that “though they had been so long settled in the island [they] seem not as yet to have been much improved beyond their German ancestors, either in arts, civility, knowledge, humanity, justice, or obedience to the laws. * * * Bounty to the church atoned for every violence against society.” It cannot be doubted that, under ordinary circumstances, nationalization would have paved the way to improvements in the administration of justice, which, under the primitive system and the constant wars of the Saxons, had sadly degenerated. For, since “their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious * * * a union also in government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility. * * * But these flattering views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, kept the Anglo-Saxons in perpetual inquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude.” The first great landmark in the history of English law is the reign of King Alfred (871–901), who, after he had restored peace, and either settled the Danes in or expelled them from the country, turned his attention to the administration of justice, which had become a mere name. His political and juridical institutions are recorded by Hume, as follows: “That he might render the execution of justice strict and regular, he divided all England into counties; these counties he divided into hundreds, and the hundreds into tithings. Every householder was answerable for the behavior of his family. * * * Ten neighboring householders were formed into one corporation, who, under the name of a tithing, decennary, or fribourg, were answerable for each other’s conduct, and over whom one person, called a tithingman, headbourg, or borsholder, was appointed to preside. Every man was punished as an outlaw who did not register himself in some tithing. “By this institution, every man was obliged from his own interest to keep a watchful eye on the conduct of his neighbors; and was in a manner surety for the behavior of those who were placed under the division to which he belonged. Whence these decennaries received the name of frankpledges. The barsholder summoned together the whole decennary to assist him in deciding any lesser difference which occurred among the members. In appeals from the decennary, or in controversies arising between members of different decennaries, the case was brought before the hundred, which consisted of 10 decennaries or 100 families of freemen, and which was regularly assembled once in 4 weeks for the deciding of causes. (Leg. Edw. c. 2.) “Their method of decision deserves to be noted, as being”—at least in our historian’s opinion—“the origin of juries. * * * Twelve freeholders were chosen, who, having sworn (together with the hundred or presiding magistrate of that division) to administer impartial justice, proceeded to the examination of that cause which was submitted to their jurisdiction. And besides these monthly meetings of the hundred, there was an annual meeting appointed * * * for the inquiry into crimes, the correction of abuses, and other matters of public concern. If a further appeal were desired, or in controversies between members of different hundreds, the case was brought before the freeholders of the county (or shire) over whom the bishop together with the alderman presided. A final appeal lay to the King himself. “Formerly the alderman possessed both the civil and military authority; but Alfred * * * appointed also a sheriff in each county, who enjoyed a coordinate authority with the former in his judicial (as distinguished from the military) function. His office also empowered him to guard the rights of the crown in the county, and to levy the fines imposed.” Such was the system established by Alfred, and adhered to by his successors as far as those turbulent times permitted. For its promotion and perpetuation, as well as for the guidance of the magistrates, on whom the duty to administer it was incumbent, the same king—according to our historical guide—“framed a body of laws which, though now lost, served long as the basis of English jurisprudence, and is generally deemed the origin of what is denominated the common law.” While his judgment concerning the paternity of the system is, that “the similarity of these institutions to the customs of the ancient Germans, and to the Saxon laws during the heptarchy, prevents us from regarding Alfred as the sole author of this plan of government, and leads us rather to think that he contented himself with reforming, extending, and executing the institutions which he found previously established.” Thus far Hume, whose profound historical researches, combined with his early legal training, certainly entitle his opinion to much weight. But the existence, among the Saxons, of any institution resembling the jury has been hotly contested, and the dispute whether it was known to the Anglo-Saxons or introduced as a result of the Norman conquest, may be thus summarized: Coke (in his Institutes), Spelman (Glossarium Archaiologicum), Blackstone (Com. III., ch. 23), Nicholson (preface to Wilkin’s Anglo-Saxon Laws), and Turner (Hist. Anglo-Saxons, IV., book XI., ch. 9) ascribe it to Saxon paternity. On the other hand, Hickes (Dissert. Epist. p. 34), Reeves (Hist. Eng. Law, I., 22, 24), and Palgrave (Rise and Progress of Commonwealth, I, 243) claim with equal confidence that it was introduced by or at least derived from the Normans and was not of Anglo-Saxon origin. So Judge Cooley (Am. Cycl. IX. 722) approvingly observes that “so many of the attendant circumstances indicate that it was a Norman institution, bestowed upon his English subjects by a Norman king, that Sir Francis Palgrave has not hesitated to consider our jury trial as derived directly from Norman law” and Mr. Macclachlan (Eng. Cycl. III., 24) remarks: “Without entering minutely into this controversy, it may be stated that the traces of the trial by jury, in the form in which it existed for several centuries after the conquest, are more distinctly discernible in the ancient customs of Normandy than in the few and scanty fragments of Anglo-Saxon law which have descended to our time.” The conclusion reached by Mr. Forsyth affords perhaps the fairest statement of the case, and may be advantageously quoted in this place: “It may be confidently asserted that trial by jury was unknown to our Anglo-Saxon ancestors; and the idea of its existence in their legal system has arisen from a want of attention to the radical distinction between the members or judges composing a court, and a body of men set apart from that court, but summoned to attend in order to determine conclusively the facts of the case in dispute. This is the principle on which is founded the intervention of a jury; and no trace whatever can be found of such an institution in Anglo-Saxon times. “If it has existed,” he continues, “it is utterly inconceivable that distinct mention of it should not frequently have occurred in the body of Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporary chronicles which we possess, extending from the time of Ethelbert (568–616) to the Norman Conquest (1066). Those who have fancied that they discover indications of its existence during that period, have been misled by false analogies and inattention to the distinguishing features of the jury trial which have been previously pointed out. While, however, we assert that it was unknown in Saxon times, it is nevertheless true that we can recognize the traces of a system which paved the way for its introduction, and rendered its adaptation at a later period [the reign of Henry II.] neither unlikely nor abrupt. * * * Of the exact mode in which trials were conducted in these [ante-Norman] courts, we know little; but the Anglo-Saxon laws and contemporaneous annals make frequent mention of two classes of witnesses, who play a most important part in the judicial proceedings of the time.” These are compurgators and official witnesses, who, together with other features of their system, will be more fully considered hereafter. With the demise of King Alfred, his system gradually lost ground. “During the reign of eight kings who succeeded Alfred,” wrote Gilmans, “the country suffered constant invasions from Denmark, which became so oppressive that in 991 the King, Ethelred II., agreed to pay the Danes 10,000 pounds, called danegelt, to buy immunity. This sum was raised by a tax on land, the first one recorded in English history.” Eleven years later the same King planned and partly executed a general massacre of foreigners in the island (Danemort) which led to a fierce attack from the Danes, to the expulsion of the King, and to the establishment of Sweyn as ruler of England. His son Canute married Ethelred’s widow, a sister of the Duke of Normandy, in order, as it were, to legitimize his title, to strengthen his alliances, and to make secure the succession of his line. When Canute, the Dane, mounted the English throne (1014) it might be supposed that he would transplant to, and incorporate in the system of, England the Danish quasi-jury or Nævninger—an institution common, with modifications, to all the Scandinavian nations—which derived its appellation from the fact of being composed of a fixed number of men (usually 12) named by the inhabitants of each district; a majority of those so chosen was competent to render a decision (subject to the ratification of the bishop and 8 best men of the district) in civil suits; while in criminal cases the accuser was obliged to convince the Nævn by sworn evidence of the truth of his charge, before the accused would be subjected to a public trial—this institution thus combining the functions of grand and petit jury with the exercise of judicial powers. Canute, however, who was a lineal descendant of Alfred, and desirous of emulating that monarch, adopted a policy of conciliation toward the English. He had his succession to the throne ratified by a general assembly (Witenagemot) and publicly consented to restore and observe the Saxon customs and laws. In 1030, he addressed a letter “To all the Nations of the English”—under which designation he also meant to include the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians—in which he said: “Be it known to you all, that I have dedicated my life to God, to govern my kingdom with justice, and to observe the right in all things.” That is, he refrained from making any essential innovations or alterations in the systems (political or judicial) to which his several dominions were accustomed, and in consequence Danish rule had no tangible formative effect on English jurisprudence. The last of the Saxon line who ruled in England—chosen by the people when Sweyn’s family became extinct—was Edward the Confessor (1042–66) whom Hume deems commendable for his attention to the administration of justice, and his compiling for that purpose a body of laws which he collected from the laws of Ethelbert, Ina, and Alfred. This compilation, though now lost (for the laws that pass under Edward’s name were composed afterward) was long the object of affection to the English nation. {{c|{{asc|CHAPTER VII.—FORMS OF TRIAL AND TRIBUNALS AMONG THE SAXONS}}}} Having examined the social and political status of the Saxons in England, as evidenced by their history and environment, we may expect to find, on considering the judicial institutions, their personal characteristics reflected therein. Here, as there, we distinguish the same primitive system of administration, the same rudimentary ideas of right, the same regard for the efficacy of clerical absolution, the same adherence to old and meaningless forms, and the same reverence for the vis major. The judicial system of the Anglo-Saxons depended for its administration on, and consisted of, four distinct factors or elements: these were, sectatores or suitors of court, the secta or suit of witnesses, official witnesses, and compurgators. These have been generally confounded or at least not clearly distinguished, and the misconception of their proper functions has given rise to many ingenious theories. In general it may be said that of all these functionaries the first class only performed judicial duties; the second and the third were species of witnesses; the fourth officiated (at least originally) in criminal cases only, while none of them were jurors. A delineation of the functions of each will be given, and a distinction attempted. The name of sectatores is applied by Forsyth to the limited number of freemen “who attended the hundred, county, and manorial courts, to try offenses and determine disputes there; * * * and the obligation to attend was in the nature of a tenure, for neglect of which they might be distrained to appear.” For, in accordance with the customs of those days, “to do suit at a county or other inferior court was * * * one of the common tenures by which land was held, and the suitors, called sectatores, or * * * at a later period pares, were therefore bound to give their attendance.” Anciently their number appears to have depended on chance or convenience; nor do they appear to have acted always under the sanction of an oath; for to Reeves “it seems that causes in the county and other courts were heard and determined by an indefinite number of persons called sectatores,” of whom “the frequent mention,” he continues, “is no proof of juries, properly so-called, being known to our Saxon ancestors.” It would seem that this form of judicial tribunal was the modified outcome of a feature of the elaborate county system established by Alfred, and a result of the alterations necessitated and the encroachments caused by the incessant warfare prevalent after the death of that monarch, which must have greatly affected his system of government. The whole matter, however, is involved in much obscurity, and will be resumed, to some extent, in the chapter treating of the ''judicium parium''. Concerning the second of the four classes, Professor Robertson observes: “The trial ''per sectam'' * * * resembled in principle the system of compurgation. The plaintiff proved his case by vouching a certain number of witnesses (secta) who had seen the transaction in question, and the defendant rebutted the presumption thus created by vouching a larger number of witnesses on his own side.” It was thus an application to civil suits of the principle, which governed the system of compurgation in relation to criminal causes. At a later period in Saxon history, however, it seems that compurgation was also extended to (and thus superseded the use of the secta in) * * * civil proceedings; or, at least, that the term “compurgation” was employed to designate both the criminal and the civil (''i. e.'', the sectatory) method. Indeed, the very name of secta became an alternative term for sectatores—the judges above described—which led to the confounding of the one with the other, and bred endless confusion and mistake. At a more advanced period of the Anglo-Saxon dominion, when the defects of their mode of evidence and system of trial became perceptible even to their untutored minds, an attempt was made to partially remedy these defects by the official appointment in each district of sworn witnesses, whose duty it was to attest therein all sales, endowment of a woman ''ad ostium ecclesiae'', and the execution of charters. They were not subject to cross-examination, and their oath was decisive in case of dispute. Later, persons peculiarly qualified by circumstances (though not preappointed), were similarly sworn to prove age, ownership of chattels, and the death of one in whose estate dower was claimed. Hence in the Year Books (16 Edw. II., 507, A. D. 1323) we read complaint that one “may name ses cosyns et ses auns, who by his procurement will decide against us.” The most important of the four elements, and that destined to play the largest part in the development of trial by jury, was compurgation. Under the Saxon system, in criminal cases the charge of the prosecutor or accuser sufficed to put the accused on his defense. This defense was by means of the process of compurgation, which was in vogue among the various Teutonic nations (12 being the usual number) and rested on the maxim: “Nobilis homo ingenuus—cum duodecim ingenuis se purget.” Compurgators may be defined as persons, who supported by their oaths the credibility of the party accused, pledging their belief in the latter’s denial of the charge brought against him. These were in no sense witnesses, for they might be wholly ignorant of the real facts in dispute; nor were they a jury, for no evidence was submitted to their consideration. They were merely friends of the party who summoned them; they knew his character, and by their united oaths they at once attested that character and their confidence in his truthfulness and the justice of his cause. This mode of trial was brought into England by the Saxons, and Judge Cooley thus describes it: “Then the party accused—or, in later times, the party plaintiff or defendant—appeared with his friends, and they swore, he laying his hand on theirs and swearing with them, to the innocence of the accused, or to the claim or defense of the party. Little is certainly known either of the origin or of the extent, in point of time or of country, over which the trial by compurgators prevailed; but it must have had great influence over the subsequent forms of procedure. It fixed the number of the traverse (''i. e.'', the petit or trial) jury at 12, that being the common number of compurgators * * * and this was a great improvement on the varying and sometimes very large number in Greece and Rome.” Where the compurgators coincided in a favorable declaration, there was a complete acquittal. But if the accused was unable to present a sufficient number of these purgers; or, “if the party had been before accused of larceny or perjury, or had otherwise been rendered infamous and was thought not worthy of credit—he was driven to make out his innocence by an appeal to heaven, in the trial by ordeal,” which was practiced either by the boiling water or the red-hot iron; the former being supplied to the common people, while the latter was reserved for the nobility. The nature of this institution is so curious and interesting, and its peculiarities throw so much light on the character of that age, as to warrant a fuller consideration of this primitive predecessor and sometime competitor of our criminal jury. If the accused was sentenced to undergo the ordeal by hot water, “he was to put his head into it or his whole arm, according to the degree of the offense: if it was by cold water, his thumbs were tied to his toes, and in this posture he was thrown into it. If he escaped unhurt by the boiling water (which might easily be contrived by the art of the priests), or if he sunk in the cold water, which would certainly happen, he was declared innocent. If he was hurt by the boiling water or swum in the cold, he was considered as guilty.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator tell me the name of the case he is reading? Mr. THURMOND. It is the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. This so-called amendment that came from the House does not provide for a jury trial unless the judge in his discretion sees fit to give one; or unless he imposes punishment of more than 45 days’ imprisonment or a fine of more than $300. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator quoting at this point from a particular case, and, if so, will the Senator give us the name of the case? Mr. THURMOND. I am not quoting from a case at this particular time. I am going back into the History of the Jury Trial. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And to show how through the life of this Nation the jury trial has developed. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. And how our forefathers in writing the Constitution put into it by article III., section 2, under which a man charged with a crime is entitled to a trial by jury. To remove any further doubt, when the Bill of Rights was written the same provision was made in several places. The sixth amendment of the Bill of Rights guarantees a man charged with a crime the right to a jury trial. During the night, probably about 4 or 5 o’clock this morning, I did cite a case holding that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man who is being tried for criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial under the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know whether it has ever been held that criminal contempt is not a crime under the law of the Nation? Mr. THURMOND. I do not know of any decision in the courts where criminal contempt has not been considered a crime, and I have had all the authorities and ran them down. Criminal contempt is a crime. We have a decision on that point. When a man is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a trial by jury. However, under this proposal, the so-called compromise which came from the House, he will not get a jury trial unless the judge, out of the goodness of his heart, says “I think you are entitled to a jury trial, and I am going to give you one.” Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Or unless the judge tries him first and finds him guilty and finds that he should be punished by more than 45 days’ imprisonment or $300 fine, in which event he can give him a new trial. The judge tries him once, and then he will be tried again. I think there again the so-called compromise is unconstitutional because you cannot put a man in jeopardy two times. If he is tried once, he has been in jeopardy and he cannot be put in jeopardy again. The whole thing is a concoction to get a compromise on something for civil rights. It is purely an endeavor to get some kind of compromise; but it violates the Constitution, and I hope the Senate and the Congress will not pass it. Even people who believe in civil rights and have fought for civil rights are of that opinion. The distinguished Senator from Minnesota [Mr. {{sc|Humphrey}}] has made many speeches on civil rights. I remember one he made in 1948 at the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia, which I did not like at all because I am a States righter and not a so-called civil righter. I believe in real civil rights, but not the kind of civil rights which are being alleged here. I do not know how Senators who really believe in civil rights and who know the Constitution can vote for a bill which flatfootedly violates several provisions of the Constitution. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator know of any greater civil right any person possesses in any nation than the right to a trial by a jury of his peers and his neighbors when he is accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot imagine any civil right I would rather possess were I charged with a crime. I do not know of any civil right that is more vital to the people of the United States than the right of trial by jury. I do not know of any civil right that one could envision that could be more important. The right of trial by jury is most important because a man may be tried for his life. If he is not tried for his life, he can be put in prison. He can have his liberty taken away from him. It is only after trial by jury that a man in this Nation can have his liberty taken away from him. I do not want a judge to try me if I ever have to be tried. I want 12 of my peers, 12 of my fellow countrymen, as the Constitution provides. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Is not the right to trial by jury, in which a person accused of a crime to challenge any prejudiced person who might be on the jury venire one of the possible differences between the free system of government that exists in this Nation and other free nations as compared to the system of government that exists in Communist nations? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Senator has the vision to see and realize the importance of what jury trial means to the people of this Nation. I quoted during the night Associate Justice Brennan of the Supreme Court. I do not think a man could have made a stronger address than he made on the jury-trial question. Justice Brennan made a powerful argument for a jury trial even in automobile-accident cases. Even where property is involved—not liberty, not life, but property—he believed there should be protection to the citizen through jury trial. Under the so-called compromise civil-rights bill a judge can put a man in jail for 45 days, and some judges will do so if they have the opportunity. They will make it exactly 45 days if they want to punish a man. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LONG. Under the facts stated in regard to the situation in Washington Parish, La., it was contended that more than 1,000 colored people were denied voting rights. I am not sure if that was correct or not. Perhaps those people should or should not be on the rolls. But assuming the charge was correct, it would be possible for a judge in that case to put a person in jail for {{SIC|4,500|45,000}} days without a jury trial, alleging that there were 1,000 different offenses. Mr. THURMOND. I see no reason why he could not, if he tries the defendant on each separate offense, which I think he would have to do to sentence him for more than 45 days. If he tries the accused for one act of depriving a person of his right to vote, there would be only one act, and 45 days in my opinion would be the limit. But if a judge saw fit to try a man and sentence him to prison for 45 days, he could try him again on another charge with respect to a man who claims his rights were violated in connection with voting and the defendant could be given another 45 days. I do not think there is any limit to that. I think he could keep filing them. Mr. LONG: Is it not conceivable following such a procedure a judge could put a man in jail for his natural lifetime without a jury trial? Suppose he alleges that the defendant prevented 2,000 people from registering. That would be 90,000 days he could put the man in jail without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. While I think theoretically that is possible, I do not think actually it would be practicable. But it is theoretically possible to do that. I wish to read the distinguished Senator what Associate Justice Brennan said: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it.}} What is the Congress doing here if they let a judge try a man for criminal contempt, which is a crime? I quote Associate Justice Brennan further: {{smaller block|One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence—}} In my State they cannot comment on the evidence and I do not believe they can in the State of the Senator from Louisiana, can they? In a few cases I believe they can. Mr. LONG. No; not in a criminal case. Mr. THURMOND. I do not believe they can even instruct the jury except as the parties request instruction. In some States the judge cannot charge the jury at all except where the parties request him to instruct, so jealously is the right of trial by jury regarded, leaving to the 12 fellow countrymen, 12 peers of the defendant, the authority to decide the case. I wish to quote further from Associate Justice Brennan: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies, and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question to my distinguished colleague from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. I regret that because of my ill health, of which the Senator is aware, I was unable to be here. Mr. THURMOND. I am sorry, too. I thought about the distinguished Senator a great deal and inquired about him. Mr. LANGER. I am sure during the night sometime the distinguished Senator from South Carolina discussed how the jury system came into being; is that correct? The divine right of kings principle was set aside and the jury system installed in its place. Mr. THURMOND. That is right. I am going now into the history of the jury system. That is the very thing I am discussing now. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that in the State of South Carolina—and, I might say, it is true in some of the other States—the higher courts have set aside verdicts of guilty because of the presence of prejudiced jurors or jurors who did not tell the truth on their examination, when they were asked if they knew anything about the facts. We have always been extremely jealous under the Constitution to see that every defendant receives a fair and honest trial. I know that there have been such cases in the State of South Carolina as the type to which I have referred. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. I was a trial judge for 8 years, and came into close contact with jurors. I know how jurors feel. I know how the people feel. The citizens of this country believe in the jury system. It is a part of their nature to believe in the jury system. Those who have talked with me do not like the fact that the bill provides for compromising the Constitution in order to get a compromise civil-rights bill. We should not compromise the Constitution. That is exactly what this so-called compromise bill does, on the jury-trial question. Mr. LANGER. I am sure that when the distinguished Senator was a judge, if any efforts were made to influence a jury, either by telephone or letter, if the judge became aware of it, he promptly declared a mistrial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is correct. Any judge would set aside a verdict if a juror were influenced. Judges are human. Some people look upon a Federal judge as sacrosanct, so to speak—clothed with a robe, high, mighty, and arrogant. They are human, and they are subject to the errors of human nature, just as any other citizen is. They should not be entrusted with this great power, involving the liberty of our people, in violation of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. The distinguished Senator knows that once in a while there is a dishonest judge. Is not that true? Mr. THURMOND. I presume it is. However, I have never heard of any in South Carolina. Mr. LANGER. We had a very dishonest Federal judge in the State of North Dakota at one time. I had personal experience with him. Time and again during my service in the Senate I have charged that judge with being dishonest. He is still alive. I did not rely upon Congressional immunity. I have made that statement often. I have never been sued for it, and I know very well that I never will be. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the distinguished Senator would not want such a judge to try him for criminal contempt, which is a crime. I am certain that the distinguished Senator from North Dakota would want a jury to try him. Is not that correct? Mr. LANGER. That is certainly correct. I believe that in the State of South Carolina, or any other State, the people will insist not only on good, honest judges, but also on seeing to it that the jury system is kept unimpaired. Mr. THURMOND. Some of the proponents of the bill think they are going to punish the South. However, the bill applies to every American. The bill will fly back in the faces of some of its proponents and their friends, and they will be surprised. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator. Mr. THURMOND. It is a pleasure to discuss this question with the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. I was discussing the history of the jury system. I continue to read from “History of the Jury System,” in the chapter entitled “Trials and Tribunals Among the Saxons.” {{smaller block|It will be observed that it was the priests who had charge of administering these tests of innocence—termed ''judicia dei''—and they doubtless reaped a rich harvest from the monopoly of this privilege, commensurate with the wealth and the guilt of the accused.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator further yield? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In view of the fact that I mentioned a dishonest judge, I should like to give an illustration of how a dishonest judge operates. In the first place, when it is desired to obtain a jury which is dishonest, a special assistant United States marshal will be appointed. The marshal will walk into a store, for example, and say, “Mr. Jones, I would like to have you take 100 subscriptions to a certain newspaper.” The man behind the counter might say, “Why should I take a hundred subscriptions?” The marshal may say, “We are fighting the Governor of the State.” If the man takes 100 subscriptions, and pays $100, or $1 apiece for a year, his name goes into the jury box; and if he does not subscribe, his name does not go into the jury box. In the case to which I have reference, the slips which were put into the box were different. The names of those who were prejudiced against a defendant would be written on wide slips. The names of those who were not so prejudiced were written upon narrow slips. A clerk was conniving with the judge. I may say that later the clerk went to the penitentiary. He would feel around until he felt a broad slip, and withdraw that slip. A Federal judge has a vast amount of power. A judge may say, “I am not going to allow any of the defense lawyers to examine any prospective jurors. Let them write out their questions and submit them to me, and I will ask the prospective jurors whether or not they are prejudiced, or what answers they have to the questions.” Two or three days might be consumed in the effort to get a fair jury; but because of the fact that the Federal judge will not allow the lawyers for the defendant to ask any questions, the judge will finally get a jury which has not been thoroughly examined from the viewpoint of the defendant. That is not all. A dishonest judge, by the tone of his voice, can let the jury know what he himself thinks of the case. For example, the defendant may be giving testimony, and if the United States attorney interrupts him the Federal judge may say, “Well, let the defendant tell his story,” with a sneer on his face, for the benefit of the jury. When it comes to his instructions, he may, in a very low tone of voice, give the instructions he is required to give which are favorable to the defendant. Then he raises his voice and makes gestures which let the jury know he does not believe the defendant to be innocent. He tries to impress the jury by his loud tone of voice and the things he says in his instructions, which tend to prejudice the jury. I have seen it happen. I myself was a trial lawyer. I served at one time as attorney general of my State, and later as governor of the State. As I have previously stated, a Federal judge has a vast amount of power. He can name special bailiffs is he decides that the number of bailiffs in the court is not sufficient. He can appoint half a dozen or a dozen more, and have them carry revolvers to impress the rank and file of the jurors with the great importance of the case. A Federal judge can claim that his life is in danger, and he can have Federal troops escort him back and forth between the courthouse and the hotel. A Federal judge can have airplanes flying over the courthouse, to repel the mob, for the purpose of impressing the jury with the gravity of the case which is pending before it. I have gone all through that experience. When I came to the Senate one of the charges brought against me was with respect to the four Federal cases in which I, as governor of the State, was tried. A Federal judge who is dishonest, with all the power he has, need not be afraid of any governor, because he holds the position for life. During the history of the United States there have been only five impeachments of Federal judges. I well remember a case which was brought before I became a Member of the Senate. Senator Josiah Bailey, a very distinguished Senator, said to me in connection with that case, “I voted ‘not guilty’ on all counts except the last one. I voted ‘guilty’ on the last one.” It was the fact that he voted “guilty” on that count which resulted in the impeachment of the judge. We must take into consideration the money that is required, the lawyers who are required, and so forth. The Senate does not like to take up an impeachment case. Yet, that is the only remedy a poor man has in the matter of impeaching a dishonest Federal judge. I am frankly delighted that the distinguished Senator from South Caroline has been going into the history of how the jury trial originated. There was a great battle to obtain the right of trialby jury on behalf of the people of England before they ever achieved their goal. One of the very first of the English juries was sent out by the judge time and time again and asked to bring in a verdict of guilty, and the jury refused to do so. They were out for many hours defying the judge. Finally, the judge said he would put them in jail. One of the greatest calamities that could possibly occur in this country or in any other country would be to have the “divine right of kings” come back and the jury system made inoperative. I wish to thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina for bringing the matter to the attention of the Senate. Mr. THURMOND. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota is to be commended for his statement. Mr. President, it is not a question of civil rights. They have hooked to it an unconstitutional provision. It is now a question of whether we shall vote for a bill that violates the Constitution and takes away from citizens the right to a trial by jury. I believe it was at Runnymeade, in 1215, that there were wrenched from King John certain rights for the benefit of the people which were written into a paper known as the Magna Carta. One of the rights wrenched from King John and which the people had cherished so long and which had been denied them was the right of trial by jury. Mr. President, our Declaration of Independence starts out by citing grievances, among which was the fact that in many instances the citizens of the Colonies had been tried without a jury. That was one of the grievances brought up and included in the Declaration of Independence. When our Constitution was written our forefathers had heard their fathers speak of how in generations back the people had suffered persecution. That was why many of them came to these shores, to enjoy liberty and freedom. After studying the governments of the world at that time, our forefathers finally decided on the tripartite system of government, with its three branches, executive, legislative, and judicial, which could check on each other. They did not stop with that, Mr. President. The States organized their governments on the same basis, so that what we have is what is known as a compound Republic. We have a division of power between the States and the Federal Government. We have a division of power between the different branches on the national level and on the State level. Our forefathers, when they wrote the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787, were determined that one thing would be contained in it would be the right of trial by jury. It is found in article III., section 2, and it provides that the trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. It does not make any other exceptions for civil rights or anything else. It provides that all crimes except that of impeachment shall be tried by jury and that the trial shall be held in the State in which the crime was committed. Even after the Constitution was written, three distinguished men attending the Convention would not sign it. They were George Mason, of Virginia, who was the author of the Bill of Rights; John Randolph, of Virginia, another very prominent citizen; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. They refused to sign the Constitution even after it was written. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, would the Senator from South Carolina be willing to yield to me for the purpose of submitting a unanimous-consent request to the Senate to the effect that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears the telegram of the Governor of the State of Wisconsin may be read and the oath be administered by unanimous consent of the Senate, without my friend from South Carolina losing the floor thereby, and that his remarks thereafter shall not count as a second speech against him, and that this interruption be placed in another portion of the {{sc|Record}}? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield under those conditions. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears in the Chamber the clerk may read the telegram from the Governor of Wisconsin and that the Senate give its consent to the oath being administered to the Senator-elect. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the unanimous-consent request of the Senator from Texas? The Chair thinks it also includes the provision that the Senator from South Carolina [Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}] shall not lose the floor. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. All the conditions enumerated, Mr. President. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, reserving the right to object—and, of course, I shall not object—I should like to be associated with the unanimous-consent request made by the distinguished majority leader. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. President, I make the request on behalf of the minority leader and myself. I wish to make it abundantly clear that when the Senator-elect from Wisconsin appears consent will have already been given to his being sworn in after the telegrams have been read; and that the Senator from South Carolina will still retain the floor and will be protected in his right to the floor and in the fact that he has made only one speech on this subject. Also, Mr. President, I request that the interruption be placed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of the remarks of the Senator from South Carolina. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? The Chair hears none, and the request is agreed to. Mr. JOHNSON of Texas. I thank the Senator from South Carolina for yielding. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was engaged in colloquy with the Senator from North Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Langer}}] ,at the time when we were interrupted. I should like to continue the colloquy with him. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from North Dakota for his questions and for bringing out the points he did. What I started to say is that when the Constitution Convention was held in Philadelphia in 1787 for the purpose of writing a constitution, the deputies, as they were called then, were confronted with the very difficult proposition of how the States would have representation. The large States wanted representation in proportion to population; the small States wanted representation according to States, regardless of size. Of course, they reached a compromise, and we have the two bodies of Congress. The Senate has an equal number of Senators from each State, regardless of the size of the State, and the House of Representatives is based on population. That is only one of the many intricate problems which had to be fought and settled by the Convention. It was a very difficult task to bring about the adoption of the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question at this point? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. The Senator from North Dakota, as the distinguished Senator from South Carolina knows, is very much interested in the small States. The two Senators from North Dakota are very much interested in the small States. They have been battling and fighting for the rights of the small States. Today there are six States which never have had any Cabinet members. For example, take the State of Florida. It has now for 107 years been a member of this Union. Yet the State of Florida has never had a member of the Cabinet, although the city of New York under Franklin Roosevelt at one time had six from the State of New York. Take the State of Nevada. Nevada had an Ambassador. The State of South Dakota has never had one. Montana never has had one. Idaho never has had one. The Senator from North Dakota finally succeeded in getting one for North Dakota, the first one after 62 years of statehood. It seems to me that the Senators from these States and from the States of smaller population a long time ago ought to have gotten together and said to the State Department, “We demand that citizens of the States of lesser population also have some appointments as ambassadors, or occasionally have a man appointed to the Cabinet of the President of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree with the Senator, and what I said was by way of illustration. Mr. LANGER. Yes. Mr. THURMOND. The point I started to make was this: There were so many problems confronting the deputies in Philadelphia that they had a very hard time drafting a constitution, and even after it was drafted, it would not have been ratified if they had not promised the leading political leaders of the day that there would be a Bill of Rights. That is the only way they were able to have the Constitution adopted; and even then, George Mason, of Virginia; John Hancock, of Massachusetts; Elbridge Gary, of Massachusetts, refused to sign it. They did not want to take for granted any question about the rights to which the people were entitled, and one of the precious rights in which they were most interested was the right of trial by jury. The right of trial by jury was not only written in article III., section 2 of the Constitution, but in several places in the Bill of Rights. The right of trial by jury has been handed down to us as part of our Government as a great heritage, and we do not want to run the risk of losing that precious right. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true at the present time in one foreign country after another, to whom we have been sending foreign aid and with whom we fought in World War II., later in the Korean war—one of the very things we are advocating in these countries are reforms which will provide trial by jury. Is that not correct? Mr. THURMOND. I understand we have been advocating that other countries, in which we have been trying to help the people to set up democratic governments, accord the right of trial by jury. It is going to look a little inconsistent to those people to whom we have held out trial by jury as the ideal, when we pass a bill which proposes to take away trial by jury. Some persons do not feel this is important; some of them say, “Well it is a compromise. The House held to a certain idea and the Senate another; and it is a matter of getting together as best they could.” But this is a vital question. There is nothing more important, no right more important than that of trial by jury. Mr. LANGER. I assume the Senator means a fair trial, an honest trial. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. The experience the Senator has had as judge ably demonstrated that, did it not? Mr. THURMOND. My experience has been that a jury will come nearer rendering a fair verdict than a judge will, because there are 12 men on the jury—and Mr. Justice Brennan concurs in this—who hear the evidence and reach a conclusion. It is a most important matter; yet here in this so-called civil rights bill— Madam President, may we have order, please? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair). The Senate will be in order. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. The effect of the so-called civil-rights bill is to amend the Constitution. The Constitution says, in article III., section 2, that “the trial of all crimes, except cases of impeachment; shall be by jury,” and then in the sixth amendment to the Constitution the statement is made again. It says, “In all”—it does not say in some—it does not say in all but civil rights; it makes no exception. It says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and a public trial, by an impartial jury of the State * * * to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses.}} And so forth. instead of that, this civil-rights bill now includes an amendment—which has been added by the House of Representatives—which gives the judge the power to make the decision, without a trial by jury, unless the fine exceeds a certain amount of money or unless the period of incarceration exceeds a certain number of days. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. {{sc|Smith}} of Maine in the chair) Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it not true that one of the arguments used when the right of women’s suffrage was asked for, was that women should have the right to sit on juries? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. When I was Governor of South Carolina, I recommended that women be allowed to sit on the juries. I think it is very wholesome to have that allowed. Such a law has not yet been passed in South Carolina, but I think it will be; in my opinion, that time will come. Mr. LANGER. We who live in North Dakota have had such a law for many years, and it works very satisfactorily. Mr. THURMOND. I so understand. In some States, women are allowed to serve on juries, if they wish, but they are not forced to do so. In other States, women must serve on juries, if called. In other States, women do not have to serve at all on juries. Madam President, the bill of rights—and the right of trial by jury is the heart of the bill of rights—is the most precious document of the American people. Madam President, let me say to the distinguished Senator from North Dakota that when the Declaration of Independence was written, it included a very definite reference to trial by jury. I wish to read part of the Declaration of Independence, in order to remind the distinguished Senator from North Dakota of that fact. Mr. LANGER. Madam President, I shall be very glad to have the Senator from South Carolina do so. Mr. THURMOND. Madam President, I read now from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.}} A little later in the Declaration of Independence, we find the following— Mr. LANGER. Madam President, it is very interesting to hear the Declaration of Independence read. Mr. THURMOND. It is, indeed. I read further from the Declaration of Independence: {{smaller block|He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.}} That was one of the cardinal points which was set forth in the Declaration of Independence, namely, that the King of England had deprived the colonists “in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}, in accordance with the previous unanimous-consent agreement, yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas, for the purpose of having the Senator-elect from Wisconsin take the oath of office. By agreement, the proceedings incident thereto appear in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) The VICE PRESIDENT. Pursuant to the order, the Chair recognizes the Senator from South Carolina. The Senate will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, a good many Senators were not here when I presented my views earlier during this debate, and I shall take a few minutes now to express a few points which I should like to have them hear. Mr. President, I was bitterly opposed to the passage of H. R. 6127 in the form which was approved by the Senate. I am even more bitterly opposed to the acceptance of this so-called compromise which has come back from the House of Representatives. Later on I want to comment on various provisions of the entire bill, but at this time I am directing my comments at the specific provisions of the so-called compromise. In my view, it is no less than an attempt to compromise the United States Constitution itself. In effect, it would be an illegal amendment to the Constitution, because that would be the result, insofar as the constitutional guaranty of trial by jury is concerned. Article III., section 2, of the Constitution provides that— {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment—in the Bill of Rights—it is provided that— {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} The fifth and seventh amendments to the Constitution provide additional guaranties of action by a jury under certain circumstances. The fifth amendment refers to the guaranty of indictment by a grand jury before a person shall be held to answer for a crime. The seventh amendment guarantees trial by jury in common law cases. As I have stated earlier today, I cited a decision during this debate to show that criminal contempt is a crime. Since criminal contempt is a crime, a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no way, under the Constitution, by which a man charged with a crime can be denied a trial by jury. Since the decision I have cited shows that criminal contempt is a crime, it simply follows that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. These guaranties to which I referred, in article III., section 2, of the Constitution, and in the fifth and seventh amendments, were not included in our Constitution without good and sufficient reasons. They were written into the Constitution because of the abuses against the rights of the people by the King of England. Even before the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were drafted, our forefathers wrote indelibly into a historical document their complaints against the denial of the right to trial by jury. That document was the Declaration of Independence. I am going to read the section of the Declaration of Independence in which our forefathers with courage and stamina severed their relations with the mother country, Great Britain, and established their own government. A list of grievances against the King was set forth in that document and among those grievances there was one pertaining to trial by jury. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|Depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury.}} In other words, those who signed the Declaration of Independence gave as one of the reasons for declaring their independence and for cutting loose from the King the fact that they had been deprived in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. Therefore we can see with that incentive in mind in writing the Declaration of Independence why there was such a strong urge in writing the Constitution to include in it a provision for trial by jury, and then later in writing the Bill of Rights, to provide a trial by jury without the exceptions which are contained in this so-called compromise that came from the House of Representatives. Mr. President, when our forefathers won their freedom from Great Britain, they did not forget that they had fought to secure a right of trial by jury. They wrote into the Constitution the provisions guaranteeing trial by jury. Still not satisfied, they wrote into the Bill of Rights 2 years later the 3 specific additional provisions for jury action. It is a well-known fact that there was general dissatisfaction with the Constitution when it was submitted to the States on September 28, 1787, because it did not contain a Bill of Rights. A majority of the people of this country, under the leadership of George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and others, were determined to have spelled out in the Constitution in the form of a Bill of Rights those guaranties of personal security which are embodied in the first 10 amendments. It was 9 months after the Constitution was submitted to the States before the ninth State ratified the Constitution, thus making it effective. Although by that time it was generally understood, and pledges had been made by the political leaders of the day, that a Bill of Rights would quickly be submitted to the people, 4 of the 13 States still were outside the Union. Nineteen months after the Constitution was submitted to the States, George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as our first President. Even then, however, North Carolina and Rhode Island remained outside the Union for several months, North Carolina ratifying on November 21, 1789, and Rhode Island on May 29, 1790. The reluctance of all the States to enter the Union which they had helped to create clearly demonstrated how strong the people felt about the necessity of including a Bill of Rights in the Constitution. The Constitution might never have been ratified had it not been for the assurances given to the people by Hamilton, Madison, and other political leaders that a Bill of Rights would be drafted as soon as the Constitution was ratified. Leaders of that day carried out the mandate of the people, and the Bill of Rights with its guaranties of trial by jury was submitted to the States on September 25, 1789. In 1941, the late John W. Davis, that great constitutional lawyer and one-time Democratic nominee for President, was asked to state what the Bill of Rights meant to him. The Bill of Rights, he declared— {{smaller block|denies the power of any Government—the one set up in 1789, or any other—or of any majority, no matter how large, to invade the native rights of a single citizen.}} Mr. Davis continued his definition with the following: {{smaller block|There was a day when the absence of such rights in other countries could fill an American with incredulous pity. Yet today, over vast reaches of the earth, governments exist that have robbed their citizens by force or fraud of every one of the essential rights American citizens still enjoy. Usage blunts surprise, yet how can we regard without amazement and horror the depths to which the subjects of the totalitarian powers have fallen? The lesson is plain for all to read. No men enjoy freedom who do not deserve it. No men deserve freedom who are unwilling to defend it. Americans can be free so long as they compel the governments they themselves have erected to govern strictly within the limits set by the Bill of Rights. They can be free so long, and no longer, as they call to account every governmental agent and officer who trespasses on these rights to the smallest extent. They can be free only if they are ready to repel, by force of arms if need be, every assault upon their liberty, no matter whence it comes.}} Mr. President, this bill is an assault upon our liberty. The United States is a constitutional Government, and our Constitution cannot be suspended or abrogated to suit the whims of a radical and aggressive minority in any era. The specific provisions in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guaranteeing trial by jury have not been repealed. Neither have they been altered or amended by the constitutional methods provided for making changes in our basic laws, if the people deem it wise to make such changes. Nevertheless, in spite of the prevailing constitutional guaranties of trial by jury, we are here presented with a proposal which would compromise the provisions of the Constitution—yes; in my opinion, amend the Constitution illegally. This compromise provides that in cases of criminal contempt, under the provisions of this act, “the accused may be tried with or without a jury” at the discretion of the judge. It further provides: {{smaller block|That in the event such proceeding for criminal contempt be tried before a judge without a jury and the sentence of the court upon conviction is a fine in excess of $300 or imprisonment in excess of 45 days, the accused in said proceeding, upon demand therefor, shall be entitled to a trial ''de novo'' before a jury.}} Mr. President, the first of the provisions I have just cited, giving discretion to a judge whether or not a jury trial is granted in a criminal case, is in direct conflict with the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for the exercise of any discretion in a criminal case as to whether the person accused shall have a jury trial. The Constitution says “The trial of all crimes except in cases of impeachment shall be by jury.” The sixth amendment says: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.}} The Constitution does not say in some crimes. The Constitution says in all crimes. The Constitution does not say trial may be by jury. The Constitution says trial shall be by jury. How, then, Mr. President, can we be presented with this compromise? How can we be asked to accept a proposal so clearly in conflict with and in violation of the Constitution? The Constitution makes no exception to the trial by jury provision in criminal cases in the event contempt is involved. Let me repeat and let me emphasize. The Constitution says “the trial of all crimes shall be by jury”—not all crimes except those involving contempt, but all crimes. What power has been granted to this Congress to agree to any such proposal when it is in such complete contradiction to the Constitution? There is no power except the power of the people of this Nation by which the Constitution can be amended. The power of the people cannot be infringed upon by any lesser authority. As the directly elected representatives of the people, this Congress should be the last body to attempt to infringe upon the authority which is vested solely in the people. We are here dealing with one of the basic legal rights and one of the most vital personal liberties guaranteed under our form of government. But the proposed compromise insists that the treasured right of trial by jury be transformed into a matter of discretion for a judge—for one person—to decide whether it shall be granted or withheld. This compromise attempts to make trial by jury a matter of degree, as stated in the second part of the provision which I quoted. Under this proposal, if a man were to receive a sentence of a fine of $300 or 45 days’ imprisonment, he would be deprived of his right of trial by jury, except at the discretion of the judge. On the other hand, if a dollar were added to the amount of money, or even 1 cent, and a day, or even an hour, to the length of imprisonment, that man would be granted a new trial with a jury deciding the facts. Mr. President, this is not something which can be compromised. In this day and time I wonder, sometimes, if there is not too much compromise. It does my heart good to see a man with strong convictions, a man who believes in something, a man who stands for something and who is not willing to compromise on everything when there is a vital principle at stake. Mr. President, I realize that legislation to a large extent is compromise. That is perfectly legitimate when it does not involve the Constitution. But when it involves the Constitution, there should be no compromise. There should have been no compromise on this bill which comes back to the Senate from the House. There can be no compromise with reference to the manner in which the bill was amended. The right of trial by jury is too dear a right to be measured in dollars and cents or in terms of days and hours. The right of trial by jury is guaranteed by the Constitution. It is a vital principle upon which our form of Government is based. Principle is not a matter of degree. This proposed compromise is a true child of the parent bill—like father, like son, or a chip off the old block. Both are bad. But the provisions of the compromise are even worse than the provisions of the bill which I opposed when it was approved by the Senate. The enactment in the Senate of part V., with its jury-trial provision, was a vast improvement over the radical bill which was sent to us from the House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional compromise now makes part V. conform with the obnoxious provisions which were in the original bill. In the name of constitutional government, I hope that a majority of this Senate will vote against this proposal. The principal purpose of this bill which the House has returned to the Senate is political. Both parties fear the bloc voting of the pivotal States. Both parties want to be in position to claim credit for the passage of what is being called a civil-rights bill. Both parties hope to be able to capitalize on the passage of a bill such as this one in the congressional elections of 1958, and then to carry those gains into the presidential election of 1960. Propaganda and pressure exerted upon the Congress and upon the American people explain how such a bill as this one came to be considered at all. Stewart Alsop, the newspaper columnist, only last week stated the simple facts of the case. He said that— {{smaller block|Behind the shifting, complex, often fascinating drama of the struggle over civil rights, there is one simple political reality—the Negro vote in the key industrial States in the North. That is, of course, in hard political terms, what the fight has been all about.}} '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', 12 members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies visit the Senate, and Mr. Thurmond’s is interrupted, so as to introduce the deputies appropriately. At the time in the ''Record'', several other matters are read into the ''Record'', namely, a “Message from the House,” the “House Bills and Joint Resolutions Referred,” and the “House Concurrent Resolution Referred.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, to explain his point Mr. Alsop cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Pointing out that the “Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in these States,” Mr. Alsop stated that it is “almost inconceivable that any presidential candidate could lose those three States and win an election.” In other words, Mr. Alsop says that the whole civil-rights fight is purely political, and the effect of it is that both parties are vying to get the Negro vote in the doubtful States. To explain his point he cited the situation prevailing in New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois, pointing out that the Negro vote can be absolutely decisive in those States. Mr. Alsop stated that it is almost inconceivable that any Presidential candidate could lose those three States and win the election. I shall not take any more further time to present the analysis he made, but he went into considerable detail. Mr. President, the advocates of this proposed legislation may believe it fits their objective today, but I am convinced that if this bill is enacted into law eventually it will be just as undesirable to its advocates as it is to me. No explanation of this bill can alter the fact that it was, and is now, under the proposed compromise, a force bill. Its purpose is to put a weapon of force into the hands of the Attorney General and into the hands of Federal judges to exercise arbitrarily. Just as the Attorney General can decide arbitrarily whether or not to prosecute a case, so now this compromise provides Federal judges with authority to exercise discretion in applying the law. Jury trial may be granted or withheld on any grounds whatsoever in the mind of a judge so long as he does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed for denying trial by jury. The proponents of this bill claim it would strengthen the rights of individuals. In contrast to this claim the bill actually would strengthen the bureaucratic power of the Attorney General and the arbitrary authority of Federal judges. No new right is granted by this bill. No old right held by the people is better protected by it. The substance of the bill is to deprive the people of a right held under the Constitution. When this bill was debated in the Senate, many authorities were quoted on the importance of trial by jury. At that time I quoted that great legal mind of the 18th century of England, Blackstone, because of the authoritative place he holds in jurisprudence. I have also quoted heretofore and cited a case which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That is a decision I have heretofore reviewed. I might refer to it again for the benefit of any who missed it, because that is an important point. I do not believe that some of the lawyers in the Congress have realized that criminal contempt is a crime. ''Bessett'' v. ''W. B. Conkey Co.'' (194 U. S. 324) says a contempt proceeding is criminal in its nature. ''Ex parte'' Grossman (267 U. S. 87) says a criminal contempt committed by disobedience of an injunction issued by the district court to abate a nuisance in pursuance of the prohibition law is an offense against the United States, and within the pardoning powers of the President under article II. of the Constitution. The ''Conkey'' case I just referred to, volume 194 United States Reports, page 324, defines civil and criminal contempt, pointing out that the latter, criminal contempt, is criminal and punitive in its nature, and the Government, the courts, and the people are interested in their prosecution. If criminal contempt is a crime, as the United States Supreme Court decision holds it is, then under the Constitution of the United States a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury. There is no ifs, ands, and buts about it. There can be no exceptions. Article III., section 2 of the Constitution provides: {{smaller block|The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury.}} Again in the sixth amendment in the Bill of Rights, it is provided: {{smaller block|In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.}} Mr. President, when this bill was previously debated in the Senate, I cited Blackstone as an authority, and I may cite him again today, but I want to refer to a portion of this bill, to show how it violates the Constitution on the jury trial question. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to my distinguished friend for a question. Mr. LANGER. Could the Senator from South Carolina tell us how it happened that the Federal judges encroached upon the rights of defendants? How did they come to hold that contempt of court was not a crime? Mr. THURMOND. There is a long story about contempt and how it arrived at where it is now. I might say, in brief, and that is what my distinguished friend is interested in, that under the present law a man charged with criminal contempt gets a jury trial unless the Government is a party to the suit, and in labor disputes defendants get a jury trial even if the Government is a party to the suit. Under this so-called compromise which the House sent to the Senate, that will not be the case unless a judge in his discretion sees fit to give the defendant a jury trial, or the judge tries him and decides he wants to punish him to a greater extent than a $300 fine or a 45 days’ prison sentence, in which event he would then have a jury trial. Mr. President, under the version of the bill which was passed by the House of Representatives, the Attorney General could substitute the government for a private party, and thereby could deprive an individual of a jury trial. But the Senate amended the bill as passed by the House of Representatives; and the Senate sent the bill, as thus amended, back to the House of Representatives. The Senate, by means of one of its amendments, drew a distinction and delineated between civil contempt and criminal contempt. The amendment provided that if the purpose of the action the judge wished to obtain was compliance with his order, in the case of something to be done in the future, failure to comply with the order would constitute civil contempt; but if the purpose was to punish for something done in the past, failure to comply with the judge’s order would constitute criminal contempt. The Senate amended the bill, as I have stated, and returned the bill, as thus amended, to the House of Representatives. Then the House of Representatives added the amendment which I believe violates the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. It has been a pleasure, I assure the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. Mr. President, because of the authoritative place that Blackstone holds in jurisprudence, I wish to quote him at this time. Every lawyer respects Mr. Blackstone. He said: {{smaller block|The trial by jury ever has been, and I trust ever will be, looked upon as the glory of the English law.}} That is what Blackstone said about trial by jury—that it is “the glory of the English law.” Blackstone further said: {{smaller block|And if it has been so great an advantage over others in regulating civil property, how much must that advantage be heightened when it is applied to criminal cases. * * * It is the most transcendent privilege which any subject can enjoy, or wish for, that he cannot be affected either in his property, his liberty, or his person, but by the unanimous consent of 12 of his neighbors and equals. A constitution, that I may venture to affirm has, under Providence, secured the just liberties of this Nation for a long succession of ages. And therefore a celebrated French writer, who concludes, that because Rome, Sparta, and Carthage have lost their liberties, therefore those of England in time must perish, should have recollected that Rome, Sparta, and Carthage, at the time when their liberties were lost, were strangers to the trial by jury.}} In other words, Rome, Sparta, and Carthage did not have trial by jury when their people lost their liberties. At another point, Blackstone further declared his faith in trial by jury in these words: {{smaller block|A competent number of sensible and upright jurymen; chosen by lot * * * will be found the best investigators of truth and the surest guardians of public justice, For the most powerful individual in the State will be cautious of committing any flagrant invasion of another’s right, when he knows that the fact of his oppression must be examined and decided by 12 indifferent men, not appointed till the hour of trial; and that, when once the fact is ascertained, the law must of course redress it. This, therefore, preserves in the hands of the people that share which they ought to have in the administration of public justice.}} Mr. President, that is what Mr. Blackstone said. No brighter legal mind ever shone in the brilliant galaxy of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence. Mr. President, the wisdom of Blackstone’s words is undeniable. The liberty of every citizen must continue to be protected by the right of trial by jury. This is not a right which applies to one person and is denied to another. The Constitution makes no exception in its guaranty of trial by jury to every citizen. On May 9, 1957, Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court, delivered an address in Denver, Colo. In that address, Justice Brennan dealt with the subject of trial by jury, and he made the following statement: {{smaller block|American tradition has given the right to trial by jury a special place in public esteem that causes Americans generally to speak out in wrath at any suggestion to deprive them of it. * * * One has only to remember that it is still true in many States that so highly is the jury function prized, that judges are forbidden to comment on the evidence and even to instruct the jury except as the parties request instructions.}} Mr. President, in my State the judge charges the jury as to the law, but he cannot comment on the facts. In some States a judge is not even permitted to charge the jury, unless the parties to the suit request it. I read further from the address by Associate Justice Brennan, of the United States Supreme Court: {{smaller block|The jury is a symbol to Americans that they are bosses of their Government. They pay the price, and willingly, of the imperfections, inefficiencies and, if you please, greater expense of jury trials, because they put such store upon the jury system as a guaranty of their liberties.}} Mr. President, those are the words of Associate Justice Brennan, in speaking about jury trials. I do not know how he could have stated the matter in much stronger terms. Mr. President, that statement by Associate Justice Brennan is most significant, to me, in that it comes from a member of the present Supreme Court of the United States. I shall not predict what the Court may do when the question of the constitutionality of the denial of trial by jury, as embodied in the so-called compromise, is presented to the Court. However, I shall not be surprised if the Court declares the bill to be unconstitutional, because on June 10, 1957, in the case of ''Reid'' against ''Covert'', the so-called military wives case, the Supreme Court issued a strong opinion on behalf of trial by jury. In that case the Court said—and this is the Supreme Court of the United States speaking: {{smaller block|Trial by jury in a court of law and in accordance with traditional modes of procedure after an indictment by grand jury has served and remains one of our most vital barriers to governmental arbitrariness.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Kennedy}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. If the Congress can say to the people of the United States that a Federal judge has absolute power to forbid a jury trial if the sentence is not more than 45 days in jail or a fine of not more than $300, and if such a law is held constitutional, what would there be to stop a future Congress from changing the amounts to 10 times those—in other words, let us say, to 450 days in jail and a fine of $3,000, or even more? As I see it, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina is fighting for a principle. Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. The principle—not the exact amount of the punishment or the exact amount of the fine—is the important consideration in this case. Mr. LANGER. In other words, the Senator from South Carolina is chiefly concerned with the principle, rather than with the exact amount of the punishment—whether it be 45 days in jail or a fine of $300, or whether it be more than that; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. Mr. LANGER. Certainly it is a fact that the Congress should not give to any Federal judge the power to levy fines of $300 or to imprison for 45 days, without a jury trial. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. The Congress does not have power to do it if it wants to. Mr. LANGER. In my opinion, you certainly quoted excellent authority to sustain that view. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. These elemental procedural safeguards were embedded in our Constitution to secure their inviolateness and sanctity against the passing demands of expediency or convenience. And further: {{smaller block|If * * * the Government can no longer satisfactorily operate within the bounds laid down by the Constitution, that instrument can be amended by the method which it prescribes. But we have no authority to read exceptions into it which are not there.}} If the Constitution provided that a Federal judge could give to a defendant a jury trial if he wanted to do so, or to refuse it if he wanted to do that, then there would be authority for what the House sent to the Senate. If the Constitution provided that in cases of criminal contempt defendants would be excepted from the jury. trial, the House would have been legally justified in passing what they did. But there is no exception to the right of jury trial in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. The Constitution will first have to be amended in order that this so-called compromise bill, which has passed the House and is before the Senate, can be upheld. I cannot say what the Supreme Court will do, no one can say, but I do not see how they could make any other holding in view of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is certainly what may be expected from the Court, in view of the statement I just quoted from Justice Brennan, when it is called upon to decide the constitutionality of part V. of H. R. 6127 as it has been amended by this so-called compromise. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. I requested the Library of Congress to make a study of the laws of the States by which the right to vote is protected in each State, and I spoke on them during the night, starting with Alabama, and covered every State, including Wyoming. I cited the law and the section of the code, including North Dakota and all the States. They all have laws to protect the right to vote. In a few minutes, I am going to cite a Federal section to show that there is a Federal law already on the subject; so, if a Federal law were desired on the subject, we already have one. I think it is a matter that ought to be left to the States, but if people disagree about that, and if it is within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, we already have a statute on the subject. But this bill is a violation of the Constitution on the right to a jury trial question, regardless. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Would the Senator be kind enough to read the statutes in South Carolina and Mississippi, if he has them? Mr. THURMOND. Many claims have been made that this is a bill to protect the individual’s right to vote. The evidence proves that there are more than adequate laws in all the States to protect the right to vote. As to my own State of South Carolina, I shall discuss at some length the constitutional and statutory safeguards protecting a citizen’s right to vote. I shall discuss them in a few minutes. I do not know of a single case having arisen in South Carolina in which a potential voter has charged that he has been deprived of his right to vote. Had such an instance occurred, justice would have been secured in the courts of South Carolina. The Federal Government has no monopoly over the administration of justice. Both white and Negro citizens exercise their franchise freely in South Carolina. Our requirements are not stringent. South Carolina does not require the payment of a poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. When I was Governor of South Carolina, on May 1, 1947, I recommended to the State legislature that it repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting. The legislature took favorable action and submitted the question to a vote of the people at the next general election, which was in November 1948. The people voted favorably on the amendment, and then in January 1949, or early in 1949, the legislature ratified the action of the people. Our poll tax was eliminated as a prerequisite to voting. So we have no poll tax in my State as a prerequisite to voting. We have a school tax, but no one has to pay to vote. Moreover, registration is necessary only once every 10 years. Proof that Negroes vote in large numbers in South Carolina—if proof is desired—can be found in an article which was published following the general election in 1952 in the Lighthouse and Informer, a Columbia (S. C.) Negro newspaper. In its issue of November 8, 1952, the Lighthouse and Informer discussed the results of the election and declared that: “Estimates placed the Negro votes at between 60,000 and 80,000 who actually voted.” This represents almost one-fourth of the votes cast in that election. I did not see an estimate of the Negro votes in the 1956 general election, but reports which came to me indicated there was another large turnout. Mr. President, I shall now read the provisions of the South Carolina Constitution which protect a citizen’s tight to vote: {{smaller block|{{c| {{sc|South Carolina Constitution Election Provisions}} {{asc|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 9. SUFFRAGE}} }} The right of suffrage, as regulated in this constitution, shall be protected by law regulating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties, all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult, or improper conduct. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 1, SECTION 10. ELECTIONS FREE AND OPEN}}}} All elections shall be free and open, and every inhabitant of this State possessing the qualifications provided for in this constitution shall have an equal right to elect officers and be elected to fill public office. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 5. APPEAL; CRIMES AGAINST ELECTION LAWS}}}} Any person denied registration shall have the right to appeal to the court of common pleas, or any judge thereof, and thence to the supreme court, to determine his right to vote under the limitations imposed in this article, and on such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo'', and the general assembly shall provide by law for such appeal, and for the correction of illegal and fraudulent registration, voting, and all other crimes against the election laws. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 8. REGISTRATION PROVIDED; ELECTIONS; BOARD OF REGISTRATION; BOOKS OF REGISTRATION}}}} The general assembly shall provide by law for the registration of all qualified electors, and shall prescribe the manner of holding elections and of ascertaining the results of the same: ''Provided'', At the first registration under this constitution, and until the first of January 1898, the registration shall be conducted by a board of three discreet persons in each county, to be appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. For the first registration to be provided for under this constitution, the registration books shall be kept open for at least 6 consecutive weeks; and thereafter from time to time at least 1 week in each month, up to 30 days next preceding the first election to be held under this constitution. The registration books shall be public records open to the inspection of any citizen at all times. {{c|{{asc|ARTICLE 2, SECTION 15. RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE FREE}}}} No power, civil or military, shall at any time interfere to prevent the free exercise of the right of suffrage in this State.}} In addition to these general provisions of the constitution protecting the right to vote, I shall now read specific statutory provisions contained in the South Carolina Code. I believe it is especially appropriate that I do so in view of the fact that it has been charged that South Carolina, as well as other States, has failed to protect the right of citizens to vote. The charge is false. The right of every citizen to vote in South Carolina is protected, and I want the {{sc|Record}} to be clear; therefore, I cite the following provisions of law in South Carolina: {{smaller block|{{c| SOUTH CAROLINA CODE—TITLE 23 {{asc|23–73. APPEAL FROM DENIAL OF REGISTRATION}} }} The boards of registration to be appointed under section 23–51 shall be the judges of the legal qualifications of all applicants for registration. Any person denied registration shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the board of registration denying him registration to the court of common pleas of the county or any judge thereof and thence to the supreme court. {{c|{{asc|23–74. PROCEEDINGS IN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS}}}} Any person denied registration and desiring to appeal must within 10 days after written notice to him of the decision of the board of registration file with the board a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom. Within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal, the board of registration shall file with the clerk of the court of common pleas for the county the notice of intention to appeal and any papers in its possession relating to the case, together with a report of the case if it deem proper. The clerk of the court shall file the same and enter the case on a special docket to be known as calendar No. 4. If the applicant desires the appeal to be heard by a judge at chambers he shall give every member of the board of registration 4 days’ written notice of the time and place of the hearing. On such appeal the hearing shall be ''de novo''. {{c|{{asc|23–75. FURTHER APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT}}}} From the decision of the court of common pleas or any judge thereof the applicant may further appeal to the supreme court by filing a written notice of his intention to appeal therefrom in the office of the clerk of the court of common pleas within 10 days after written notice to him of the filing of such decision and within such time serving a copy of such notice on every member of the board of registration. Thereupon the clerk of the court of common pleas shall certify all the papers in the case to the clerk of the supreme court within 10 days after the filing of such notice of intention to appeal. The clerk of the supreme court shall place the case on a special docket, and it shall come up for hearing upon the call thereof under such rules as the supreme court may make.}} I do not know of any other State which gives this protection. {{smaller block|If such appeal be filed with the clerk of the supreme court at a time that a session thereof will not be held between the date of filing and an election at which the applicant will be entitled to vote if registered the chief justice or, if he is unable to act or disqualified, the senior associate justice shall call an extra term of the court to hear and determine the case.}} The supreme court will be called together to hear one man’s case on appeal. What more can we do than that? We have, first, the board of registration; next the court of common pleas, and then the supreme court. The supreme court will hold an extra session, if necessary, to hear the appeal, and even if there is only one man who feels that he has been disenfranchised, or disqualified, for any reason, to receive a registration certificate. {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|23–100. RIGHT TO VOTE}}}} No elector shall vote in any polling precinct unless his name appears on the registration books for that precinct. But if the name of any registered elector does not appear or incorrectly appears on the registration books of his polling precinct he shall, nevertheless, be entitled to vote upon the production and presentation to the managers of election of such precinct, in addition to his registration certificate, of a certificate of the clerk of the court of common pleas of his county that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in such clerk’s office or a certificate of the secretary of state that his name is enrolled in the registration book or record of his county on file in the office of the secretary of state.}} In other words, if he loses his certificate, or has any trouble with the board—the books are filed there—if his name is on the book, the clerk will give him a certificate. If it is not there, he can even go to the secretary of state at Columbia, if there is any local prejudice or other trouble. He can go to the State capital, and obtain a certificate from the secretary of state. That is the protection we give. We have some others. {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|23–349.

Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. A little while ago the distinguished Senator said that he had before him the election laws of all 48 States. Mr. THURMOND. That is true. Mr. LANGER. Are not the laws of South Carolina more liberal than those of other States? Mr. THURMOND. I think they are more liberal with respect to voting. I think we have gone further than have most of the other States. We repealed the poll-tax requirement. We have given every opportunity to everyone to vote. I do not know of anyone in my State today who is denied the right to vote if he wishes to vote. Our requirements are not too severe. The only requirement is that the voter must be able to read or write the Constitution. The Constitution was used in order to have reference to some document. Anyone who can read and write can read the Constitution as well as he can read anything else. Or if he cannot do that, he must own $300 worth of property. If he meets either requirement, he can vote. Mr. LANGER. The Senator stated that there was a Federal law in this connection. Mr. THURMOND. Yes. Mr. LANGER. May we have the Federal statute read? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has just asked me about the Federal law on the books with regard to voting. I should like to have the Senator from North Dakota and other Senators hear this. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Dakota [Mr. {{sc|Case}}] and other Senators to listen to the statute I am about to read. Last night I made the point that every State in the Union has laws on this subject. Of course, if the Senator from South Dakota has already made up his mind, I do not wish to take his time. Will he give me his attention for just a moment? Mr. CASE of South Dakota. The Senator from South Dakota is listening. Mr. THURMOND. I do not wish to take the Senator’s time if his mind is made up. But if his mind is open, I want him to hear this. I made the statement last night that every State in the Nation has statutes to protect the right to vote. I called upon the Library of Congress to compile those statutes, and I read them into the {{sc|Record}}. They will be found in my speech. Starting with Alabama and going through Wyoming, every State has laws protecting the right to vote. But some people say that we need Federal laws. I do not believe many people know that we have Federal statutes on the subject. For some reason or other they must have overlooked them. I wish to read the Federal law at this time to show that there is a Federal law on the statute books. It is designated as section 594 of chapter 29, title 18, of Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. It reads as follows: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|594. INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS}}}} Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the Office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, sec. 1, 62 Stat. 720.)}} If anyone intimidates, threatens, or coerces another with respect to voting, or with respect to how he wishes to vote, or for the purpose of interfering with his right to vote, or to vote for whomever he chooses, there is a Federal statute under which a Federal judge can send him to jail for 1 year, or fine him $1,000. There is already a Federal statute on the subject. So why pass the bill coming from the House, or any other bill to provide the right to vote? The statute which I have just read is a criminal statute. It enables the Federal Government, if it wishes to protect the right to vote, to protect any man’s right to vote, because it can put a man in jail for as long as 1 year, or fine him $1,000 if he interferes with the right of anyone to vote. The only difference is that this is a criminal statute, and if a man were prosecuted under this statute he would get a jury trial. If we believe in the Constitution and in jury trials, we want to preserve that right anyway. The Constitution is clear on the question of jury trials. Article III., section 2, is specific on it. The Bill of Rights contains several references to it. The sixth amendment, in the Bill of Rights, is directly to the point. I have before me a decision—I do not know whether the Senator heard it or not—which upholds the contention that criminal contempt is a crime. If criminal contempt is a crime, then a man is entitled to a trial by jury under the Constitution of the United States if he is charged with criminal contempt. If there have been complaints to the Federal Government in any State of the Nation about people not being allowed to vote, why has not the Justice Department taken action under the statute to which I have just referred, and put offenders behind bars or fined them if they interfered with the right of other people to vote? The Federal Government has the power to do it. It is not necessary for it to have more power. The accused should have a jury trial. This is a free country. The mere fact that a jury returns a verdict which one of the parties may not like is no excuse for abolishing the jury trial. Either the Federal Government is not doing its duty in protecting people who have complained to it that they could not vote for one reason or another, or that voting has been interfered with for one reason or another, and has not given the proper protection to those people who complained to it, or there have been no complaints. If there have been any complaints, it was the duty of the Department of Justice to take action, and they could take action under the statute I have cited. There is no use beating about the bush and saying there is a duty to pass a right to vote bill. There is such a law on the statute books. Every State in the Union has such a law. The United States Code contains a provision protecting the right to vote. Let the Attorney General enforce this statute I have cited. If he has received any complaint from South Carolina about any man not voting, or has received a complaint from any other State, it is his duty to take action under the statute, and see that the one who interferes is punished. He can be put in jail for a year or fined $1,000. Mr. President, I am merely desiring to call this to the attention of Senators who are in the Chamber at this time, because so many of them do not seem to understand that we now have a Federal law on the books, section 594, which provides for the protection of voting rights. I do not know how it could be made any stronger. The Senator from North Dakota was asking about the South Carolina statute. I read from the statutes: {{smaller block|After the voter’s ballot has been prepared, the bystander so appointed shall immediately leave the vicinity of the guard rail. {{c|{{asc|23–656.

Does not the Senator from North Dakota think those provisions add to the protection of voters? Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator be kind enough to repeat the Federal statute? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am particularly interested in where the Federal statute states that one can be both fined and imprisoned. Mr. THURMOND. It says “or both.” {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates, or Commissioners from the Territories and possessions, at any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing such candidate, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.}} But such person can get a jury trial, though. In other words, that is just another crime. It is like when a man is charged with murder or any other crime. He will have a jury trial. If he is found guilty, then the judge can sentence him to $1,000 or 1 year in prison, or both. That is a strong statute. Mr. LANGER. I want to thank the distinguished Senator for bringing that to the attention of the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is entirely welcome. I think it is a statute that a good many people may have overlooked. There has been so much talk about the right to vote and people not having the right to vote protected until I thought the Senate and the people of the Nation ought to know that not only every State has laws protecting the right to vote, but the Federal Government also has on the statute books a statute protecting the right to vote. As I stated, that is section 594, of chapter 29, title 18, Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure. Mr. President, the provisions of the South Carolina constitution and the provisions of the South Carolina statutes, which I have just read, prove the absolute lack of necessity for additional protection of the right to vote in my State. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the Senator yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be glad to yield to my distinguished friend. Mr. LANGER. For a question? Mr. THURMOND. For a question. Mr. LANGER. Have there been any decisions by the South Carolina Supreme Court on any of the statutes which the distinguished Senator has read? Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall offhand that any cases have gone to the supreme court. In our State everybody registers and votes who wants to, and I guess that is probably the reason there have been no cases taken to the supreme court. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, also, the summary of the laws of other States, which I have requested to be printed in the {{sc|Record}} at the conclusion of my remarks, prove there is no necessity for greater protection of the right to vote in any other State. The claim that this is a right to vote bill is completely without foundation. If the advocates of this so-called civil-rights bill want to deny the right of trial by jury to American citizens, they should proclaim their objective and seek to remove the guaranty of trial by jury from the Constitution. They should follow constitutional methods. Then the people of this Nation would not be misled, as some have been, to think that H. R. 6127 would give birth to a right to vote for anybody—a right already held by those it purports to help. Mr. President, I also object to part I. of this bill, which would create a Commission on Civil Rights. To begin with, there is absolutely no need or reason for the establishment of such a commission. If there were any necessity for an investigation in the field of civil rights, it should be conducted by the States, or by an appropriate committee of the Congress within the jurisdiction held by the Congress. The Congress should not delegate its authority to a commission. In such a delicate and sensitive area, the Congress should proceed with great deliberation and care. There is no present indication that any such study will be needed in the foreseeable future. The establishment of a commission as proposed in this bill is most unwise. Section 104(a) of part I. provides the Commission shall— {{smaller block|(2) study and collect information concerning legal developments constituting a denial of equal protection of the laws under the Constitution; and (3) appraise the laws and policies of the Federal Government with respect to equal protection of the laws under the Constitution.}} These two paragraphs provide the Commission with absolute authority to probe into and to meddle into every phase of the relations existing between individuals, limited only by the imagination of the Commission and its staff. The Commission can go far afield from a survey on whether the right to vote is protected. Through the power granted in the paragraphs I have cited, the Commission could exert its efforts toward bringing about integration of the races in the schools and elsewhere. It would be armed with a powerful weapon when it combined its investigative power and its authority to force witnesses to answer questions. I do not believe the people of this country realize the almost unlimited powers of inquiry which would be placed in the hands of this political Commission. I do not believe the people of this country want to have such a strong-arm method of persuasion imposed upon them. Section 105(f) of part I. provides that “subpenas for the attendance and testimony of witnesses or the protection of written or other matter may be issued in accordance with the rules of the Commission.” This is an {{SIC|unsual|unusual}} grant of authority. Many of the committees and special committees of the Congress do not have this power. The Truman Commission on Civil Rights did not have it. The subpena is a punitive measure, generally reserved for penal process whereby powers are granted to force testimony which would not otherwise be available. If the proposed Commission were simply a factfinding commission and non-political, the extreme power to force testimony by the use of a subpena would not be needed. The power of subpena in the hands of a political commission and the additional power to enforce its subpenas by court order diverge from the authority usually held by traditional factfinding groups. There are several grounds for serious objection to section 104(a) of part I. This section permits complaints to be submitted to the Commission for investigation, but it does not require the person complaining to have a direct interest in the matter. Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I should like to have the Senator hear this. This means, of course, that any meddler can inject himself into the relationship existing between other persons. It opens the door for fanatics to stir up trouble against innocent people, to involve neighbor against neighbor. This section opens the door wide for such organizations as the NAACP, the ADA, and others, to make complaints to the Commission with little or no basis for doing so. If an NAACP official in Washington made a complaint against a citizen of South Carolina, the South Carolina citizen would not have the opportunity of confronting his accuser unless the accuser appeared voluntarily. Although part I. requires sworn allegations to the Commission, there is no requirement that testimony taken by the Commission be taken under oath. Failure to make all witnesses subject to perjury prosecutions by placing them under oath would certainly make the testimony of little value. The Commission might adopt a rule to require sworn testimony, but this should not be left to the discretion of the Commission. It should be written into law. There are many other objections to part I. which were pointed out during the debate, before the Senate passed its version of the bill. I shall not go into them further at this time. Part II. of the bill provides for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in the Justice Department. Since the Justice Department already has a section to handle civil-rights cases, there is no reason to create this new position. The creation of a new division would require many additional attorneys and other employees in the Justice Department. The Department has not disclosed how many additional lawyers, clerks, and stenographers it would plan to employ. A civil-rights division in the Justice Department is not needed, because there is no indication that there will be any increase in the number of civil-rights cases which are now being handled by a section in the Department. The Attorney General had a most difficult time trying to show that an additional Assistant Attorney General was needed; in fact, he failed completely in his efforts to do so. As a matter of fact, even those who have advocated passage of H. R. 6127 have been forced to admit time after time that conditions relating to civil-rights matters have been steadily improving all over the country. Since conditions have improved and since there is no indication that conditions will change—unless the Attorney General and the Civil-Rights Commission create trouble—there is absolutely no justification for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General in charge of a Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. Part III. of the bill, as originally written—which was completely obnoxious—was removed. I have several times stated my views on part IV. I object to its grant of dictatorial power to the Attorney General. The Congress should never agree to place such authority in the hands of any one official of the Government. Another particularly obnoxious provision is found in section 131(d) which reads as follows: {{smaller block|(d) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of proceedings instituted pursuant to this section and shall exercise the same without regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have exhausted any administrative or other remedies that may be provided by law.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield to me? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr {{sc|Holland}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. As I understand, in the case of the existing section 594, during all these years the Attorney General of the United States has had the power to enforce that section, and he has had the assistance of the United States attorneys in every State of the Union, and they have had the help of their assistants; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. In some of the States there are eastern districts, northern districts, southern districts, and western districts—for instance, as in the case of New York; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That also is correct. Mr. LANGER. And each of those districts has United States attorneys and assistant United States attorneys and United States marshals; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. So all the necessary machinery for the enforcement of section 594, to protect the voting right of any citizen of the United States who may have had his voting right denied, has been in existence all during this period of time; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. Can the distinguished Senator from South Carolina name a single case in which the Attorney General of the United States has tried to enforce any of these statutes? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator, I will say that I do not know about the situation in other States; but as for the situation in my own State, I have not heard of such a case. However, I can see why that would be; I can understand why probably there would not be any such cases in South Carolina. That is because anyone in South Carolina who wishes to register to vote, has no trouble doing so. But I have not heard that any cases of this sort have been brought in other States. Such cases may have been brought in other States, but I have not heard of any. Mr. LANGER. Will the Senator from South Carolina yield further? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I wish to ask what additional power the Attorney General will have, if a new Assistant Attorney General is appointed, inasmuch as the Attorney General already has the help of other Assistant Attorneys General and the help of United States attorneys, whose appointments have to be approved by the Senate; they cannot be appointed until the Congress has consented to the appointments. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question asked by the Senator from North Dakota, I would say that I see no need for an additional Assistant Attorney General—who, if appointed, would receive a large salary. I see no need for the appointment of an additional Assistant Attorney General, because the Department of Justice already has a civil-rights section; and there has been no evidence of any need for a big division, similar to the one now proposed to be created. I think the establishment of such a division would simply mean the payment of more salaries and a larger Federal payroll and more taxes on the backs of the American people. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. In other words, there has never been a time when, under present law, the Department of Justice could not have presented a case of that sort before a grand jury, if the Department had wished to do so; is that correct? Mr. THURMOND. Exactly. If there had been any complaint in either North Dakota or South Carolina, let us say, to the effect that someone had not been able to vote, although he was eligible to vote, all the Department of Justice would have had to do would have been to have the United States attorneys in those States look into the matter and take whatever action would have been appropriate under the circumstances. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator from North Dakota for his questions. Mr. President, a moment ago I read the provisions of section 131(d). It simply means that the district courts can, under that provision, bypass the State procedures, the administrative remedies under the State laws, and can take action, and thus can cause much tension, embarrassment, and trouble although it is not necessary to do so. If anyone cannot obtain justice through the administrative remedies of his State, then of course he will be able to go to the district attorneys, and they can prosecute under the Federal statute I have just read. But the use of the existing remedies under the State laws should first be required—which is the usual procedure one would follow. No legitimate reason has been presented as to why administrative remedies and remedies provided in the courts of the States should not be exhausted prior to having Federal district courts take jurisdiction in cases of election-law violations. In other words, I believe in letting the States run their business, if they will. A Federal statute already is in existence; and if there is need to use it, it can be used. But why not let the States handle the matter of voting and the other matters which are reserved to them under the Constitution? Let the States handle them. Then, if the States fail to do so or if they fall down in the performance of their duty, section 594 is in existence, and it can be used as a hammer with which they can be clubbed to death, if need be. The present proposal could be a step toward future elimination of the State courts altogether. I do not believe the Congress has, or should want, the power to strip our State courts of authority, and to vest it in the Federal courts. Some of the advocates of H. R. 6127 spoke strongly on behalf of the Federal courts, during the debate on the jury-trial amendment. I wish they were equally as vehement in their defense of our State courts. There is no reason to permit an individual to bypass the administrative agencies of his own State and the courts of his own State in favor of a Federal court when the matter involved is principally a State matter. If a person should be dissatisfied with the results obtained in the State agency and courts, he could then appeal from the decision. But until he has exhausted established remedies, he should not be permitted to bypass them. That is the point I made just a few minutes ago. I shall not go into further details with reference to the provisions of this part of the bill, but I am just as strongly opposed to it as I was when it was first introduced. I shall continue to oppose such grants of power to the Attorney General or to any other official. Mr. President, I based my opposition to H. R. 6127 throughout its consideration in the Senate on three principal points. I am convinced the bill is unconstitutional in several respects which I have cited. I know that it is unnecessary because the right to vote is fully protected in every State and under the laws of the United States where applicable. Finally, I know that the enactment of such legislation is extremely unwise. It is unwise because the sure result of passing this bill would be to destroy a great deal of the good feeling existing between the white and the Negro races, not only in the South but in every community where a substantial number of Negroes live. Nothing would be gained, but much would be lost. The Civil Rights Commission, by using its powers to attempt to force integration of the races, is bound to create suspicion and tension between the races to an even greater degree than the suspicion and tension which was created by the 1954 Supreme Court decision in the school segregation cases. Unbiased persons who are familiar with the segregation problem, and who observed the detrimental result of the Supreme Court decision, know that a traveling investigation commission and a meddling Attorney General could bring about chaos in racial relations. The chaos would not be confined to the South because the provisions of this bill will apply to every citizen in every State. However, the Attorney General, in exercising the discretion granted him, along with the extraordinary powers also granted him, must be expected to confine his investigations and his court actions to the States of the South. The South has often been derided and condemned on charges of sectionalism, but if the advocates of this legislation believe they will create greater unity instead of greater division in this country by the enactment of this bill, they are entirely mistaken. George Washington in his Farewell Address used his strongest language against those who would divide our country and urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs, as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern, Atlantic, and western—whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} H. R. 6127 is a blueprint for suspicion, confusion, and disunity. The laws of the Nation are dependent upon the customs and traditions of the people. Unless law is based upon the will of the people, it will not meet with acceptance. Government in this country derives no power except the power coming from the people. Laws which are not based on the Constitution, which is the basic statement of the will of the people, cannot be justified on any ground. Mr. President, when there is so much evidence that this bill is unconstitutional, unnecessary, and unwise, it should never be approved. Force may subjugate the human body, but force by itself can never change the human mind. Laws, like leaders, must be of the people, by the people, and for the people. H. R. 6127 fails to measure up by any standard. It should be rejected. I appeal to every Member of this body who believes in constitutional government and the sovereignty of the people to vote against this bill. Mr. President, this bill, as I have stated before, has been widely called a right-to-vote bill. That is a completely misleading term. The bill, as I have stated, in my opinion, is unnecessary, because we have laws in every State to protect the right to vote. We have laws by the Federal Government to protect the right to vote. In the sections I have cited, a man can be punished severely for any interference with the right to vote. (At this point Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}} yielded to Mr. {{sc|Johnson}} of Texas and other Senators, who requested the transaction of certain business, all of which appears in the {{sc|Record}} following Mr. {{sc|Thurmond}}’s speech.) Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, we have the finest Nation in the world. We have the finest Government in the world. In 1787 our forefathers met in Philadelphia and wrote a document called the Constitution. It was simply a compact between the States. Our forefathers came to this country to get away from tyranny. They had been punished many times without juries. They had been denied the right to worship as they pleased. They have been denied the right of freedom of speech. They had been denied the right of assemblage. They had been denied the right to petition the government, and they had been denied many other rights which we take as a commonplace in this country. They came here to enjoy the benefits of the Government they would establish to provide them those rights. After the States operating as colonies for a while felt the need of a central government for purposes of national defense, for purposes of commerce, for purposes of postal service, trade, and other reasons, they decided to form a union. They met in Philadelphia in 1787, and with deputies from all the 13 States attending that conferential meeting, all except Rhode Island—at that time Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals and ignored the whole proceeding—all with the exception of that one State, had deputies at the Constitutional Convention. They wrote a document to delegate certain of their powers—there were States before there was a Federal union, of course—to the Federal Government for the purpose of forming a union and a central government which could do certain things for the States better than they themselves could do them. At that convention there was a very difficult situation. The delegates had to start from scratch, so to speak, to write the basic law for a new nation. Much discussion and debate occurred there, but after working together for several months in Philadelphia they finally arrived at a document, or a compact, which was signed by the representatives of the States, delegating certain powers to the Central Government. Three of the delegates attending the convention were not pleased, and did not sign it. I believe I stated this morning who they were. They were George Mason, of Virginia; John Randolph, of Virginia; and Elbridge Gerry, of Massachusetts. The other delegates signed their names, except one, who left, but had his friend sign it. The document was then presented to the States for ratification. Within due time ratification was had, but there was considerable opposition at the convention, and when the question of ratification arose, the main objection which was raised was that there was not spelled out in the Constitution a bill of rights. Some of the most powerful leaders in the States opposed ratification for that reason. Those who did not sign in Philadelphia opposed it chiefly, I understand, for that reason. The Bill of Rights is a document which we cherish. The Bill of Rights is the finest civil-rights bill in the world. The Bill of Rights is a genuine civil-rights bill. That document provides us with the fundamental civil rights which we enjoy in this country today. One of the bases of the Bill of Rights—and I like to call it the heart of the Bill of Rights—is the right of trial by jury. In the Bill of Rights, the sixth amendment is a trial-by-jury amendment. It provides specifically that any person charged with a crime shall be tried by a jury. I have previously brought out today that criminal contempt is a crime, and therefore, since it is a crime, a person charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a trial by jury. The bill which passed the House is a compromise, as most legislation is. Some people may have felt that that was the best the House and Senate could do, because the conferees got together and reconciled the differences between the two Houses. Ordinarily that principle would be sound in connection with legislation, but it is not sound here, because the effect of the so-called compromise would be to violate the Constitution of the United States. If the so-called compromise had provided that a judge, in his discretion, could try a man for criminal contempt, I would have opposed it just as much if no punishment whatever were involved, because the Constitution says that a man is entitled to a trial by jury when he is prosecuted for a crime. There is no discretion in the Constitution. There is no ''proviso'' in the Constitution. There is no exception in the Constitution. The Constitution is perfectly clear on that point. If the punishment provided in the bill in the House had called for 1 day’s imprisonment, or a fine of $1, I would be just as bitterly opposed to it. The Constitution of the United States provides that if a man is charged with a crime he is entitled to a jury trial. Under the decision which I have cited here twice today, I believe, holding that criminal contempt is a crime, it is clear that a man charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. I do not believe that the compromise amendment is valid. I do not think it is constitutional. The amendment of the distinguished Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] delineated and defined civil contempt and criminal contempt, and provided that civil contempt proceedings were for the purpose of bringing about compliance, in which case the order would be issued prior to the act, and that criminal contempt proceedings were to punish, in which case the order would be issued after the act. If the House had accepted it, the American people would be guaranteed trial by jury in the event of a charge of criminal contempt, which is a crime. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator yield to me for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to ask the Senator if I understood him correctly to say that in his opinion the so-called jury-trial provision of the bill which has been returned to us by the House is invalid and unconstitutional? Mr. THURMOND. That is my opinion. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I wish to say to the Senator from South Carolina that I completely agree with that opinion. It is impossible to govern the right of trial by jury by the discretion of the judge, according to the penalty he conceives he intends to inflict. I should like to ask the Senator another question. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the distinguished Senator. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina if he agrees with me that the question of jury trial should be reexamined as soon as conveniently possible, and that I would be doing a wise thing if, when the new session of Congress assembles, I should introduce a repetition of the general jury-trial amendment, firm in the belief that the advocates of civil rights, upon examination of the pretended amendment which has come to us from the House, will discover that they have bought a pigeon instead of a swallow. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question, I will say that I agree with him that the bill should be reexamined; but I think the reexamination should take place before Congress passes the bill, and not wait until next January. Mr. O’MAHONEY. If the Senator will permit me to make this comment—will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND: I will yield for a question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. I shall frame it in the form of a question. Does not the Senator agree that we are all weary and worn down; that most of us are almost as tired as is the Senator himself; and that perhaps when we return in January in the full vigor of our bodies and minds we shall be able to do a better job than we can do at this session of the Congress? I am going to introduce a jury-trial amendment in the next session in the firm belief that this jury-trial amendment accomplishes nothing; that it does not at all help the advocates of civil rights. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator’s question I will say that I have been on my feet for the past 17 hours, and I still feel pretty good. But I agree that it has been a long, tough session. But even though it has been a long, tough session, I do not think we ought to quit now and pass a bill that the Senator and I both feel is unconstitutional. I think we should refer it to the committee, which I tried to do the other night, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. But I think this bill should not be passed at this session. I believe the Senator would prefer that it not be passed; but if it is passed, of course I should be delighted to have the Senator offer an amendment to correct the unconstitutional portion of it when we return in January. But I really do not see why we should have to pass an unconstitutional piece of legislation if we can avoid it. Mr. O’MAHONEY. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for another question. Mr. O’MAHONEY. This question is a little different from the one I asked before. I am wondering if the Senator from South Carolina would cooperate with me in enabling me to pass a bill which does not involve any constitutional question. The Senate passed the bill without any opposition at all, and the House has returned it to the Senate with an amendment. I should like to move that the House amendment be concurred in by the Senate, and thus get the bill disposed of. Mr. THURMOND. If the Senator will ask unanimous consent for me to yield to him on condition that I can retain the floor, and, further, that I shall not be charged with a second speech when I resume the discussion of the present subject— The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from Wyoming ask unanimous consent based on those conditions? Mr. O’MAHONEY. I do, Mr. President. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I should like to ask the Senator from Wyoming this question: This is not a civil-rights bill, as I understand, is it? Mr. O’MAHONEY. No; it is not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from Wyoming? The Chair hears none. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Mr. O’Mahoney, the “Approval of Contract with the Casper–Alcova Irrigation District, Wyoming,” is dealt with, as is a “Message from the House” and the “Enrolled Bills and Joint Resolution Signed.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to the amendments numbered 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina may proceed. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I was speaking a few moments ago about the States and the Federal Government. I should like to remind the people of this country that we had States before we had a union, and that the only power the Federal Government had and the only power the Union had was the power delegated by the States in Philadelphia in 1787 and in the amendments to the Constitution since that time. All other powers which have not been delegated to the Federal Government are reserved to the States or to the people. I think the bill which is under consideration is unconstitutional. I think it is invalid. I think we are doing a useless thing. The proponents of the bill who feel that they are helping people, in my judgment, are going to find that there is just a lot of lost motion involved, because I do not believe the Supreme Court will hold this bill constitutional. I do not see how it could hold it constitutional. This compromise bill which came from the House leaves it entirely up to a Federal judge to say whether or not he is going to give a man a jury trial. That is not what our forefathers wrote into the Constitution. This bill provides that a judge shall decide whether he will grant a jury trial. Suppose he decides he will not grant a jury trial and then tries the defendant. Suppose he decides that the man ought to be imprisoned for more than 45 days or should pay a fine of more than $300. Then the case must be tried all over again. That is another reason why I think the bill is unconstitutional. When we once try a man we put him in double jeopardy by trying him again. So I think we are doing a useless thing here to pass a bill to provide that a judge can try a man and then, if he imposes above a certain sentence, the man can ask for a jury trial and then a jury can try the man. He would be tried twice. That is not only unconstitutional, it is also unfair, because if a judge tries the man himself and fines him more than $300 or sentence him to be imprisoned more than 45 days, then there is a trial ''de novo'', as they call it. But the judge’s finding of guilt is bound to influence the jury when the jury tries him a second time. It is my opinion that the man can plead double jeopardy. The distinguished Presiding Officer was a distinguished judge in Texas. Any lawyer knows that we cannot try a man more than once for the same offense. The bill coming from the House would allow the man to be tried twice. Mr. President, I want the American people to know what they are getting in this bill. They are getting a bill under which a judge can try a man and a jury can then try the same man. It is unconstitutional, in my opinion. Furthermore, I think it is extremely unfair, because the judge has already expressed his opinion, and if he is the judge who tries the case a second time he would be bound to show his feelings during the trial. Even if he did not show his feelings during the trial, in my opinion, his feelings would enter into the sentence after the trial. Mr. President, there are many things in this bill. I am not against civil rights, and I am not against voting. As I have said, the finest civil rights are those in the Bill of Rights. I am for genuine civil rights, not this so-called political civil rights. Both national parties that are pushing civil rights bills, this right to vote and other bills, are not doing it because they love the Negro. The southern white man does more for the Negro than any other man in any part of the country. This bill is motivated purely by politics. It is a political bill. We might as well face the facts as they are. Both parties are trying to play to get the Negro vote, and, in some States, if the Negroes vote as a bloc, which they should not do, they are herded to the polls like sheep and voted. If they vote as individual citizens, which they should, this would not occur. But for some reason, both parties think that they are going to vote as a bloc. I do not know how a few leaders do it, or just how it is done. But it is unfortunate, and it is unfair to the Negro, because it takes him out of the category of an individual. It takes away his dignity. It takes away his sanctity as an individual, in which he can take pride in himself, his accomplishments and his race and not be led around like a bull with a ring in his nose. But that is the feeling of both parties in this country. They think they can vote the Negroes in a bloc, and they are making this play on these civil rights bills, so-called. They are not civil rights bills. They are so-called civil rights bills. The politicians are pushing these so-called civil rights bills to make a play and try to get the vote of the Negroes in certain doubtful States. I have some good friends who are Negroes. I have helped many of them. I have represented them in lawsuits. I have loaned them money. I value the friendship of many Negroes, and I hate to see them treated like they are being treated. I hope that their real leaders, their genuine leaders, who are sincerely interested in them, will wake up some day and inform the members of their race just what is going on. Mr. President, there is no need in the world to pass this bill. In the wee hours last night, when most Senators were sleeping, I was here talking, and after I had the Library of Congress, Legislative Section, prepare for me, and I put into the {{sc|Record}} at that time, statutes which provide voting rights in all the States of the Nation. The {{sc|Congressional Record}} of last night contains those statutes of all the States from Alabama to Wyoming. In every one of the States of the Nation there are statutes that protect the right to vote. There is not a single one of the 48 States that does not have statutes to protect the right to vote. Why does the Federal Government have to have this bill passed? Is it not practically an insult to the States? It is. “We need it. The States will not enforce their laws?” If that be the case, all the Government has to do is to enforce the Federal statute I referred to today. Title 18, section 594, is the number of that Federal statute, which provides punishment for anyone who intimidates, coerces, or threatens any person for interfering with any other person in voting. That statute is as clear as a crystal. It provides for a fine of $1,000, or punishment of 1 year in prison, for anyone who interferes with the right of another citizen to vote. So, if there is anybody in this country today who is prevented from voting, all he has to do is to report it to the district attorney in his State, of if he prefers, to write the Justice Department. He can take that course, and action can be taken under that statute which is already on the books. Why put another statute on the books? Why put another statute which the Supreme Court will very probably hold to be unconstitutional? I do not know what the Supreme Court will hold. I do not like to take any chances with the Supreme Court. At any rate, the Constitution of the United States is clear, the wording is simple. Any seventh-grade child can read article III., section 2, of the Constitution of the United States and see that any citizen charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. He can also read the sixth amendment to the Constitution, one of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, and see that any man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. It is very difficult to understand why the Congress, which is supposed to be composed of the brightest intellects in the country, or some of the brightest intellects, would pass a bill of this kind. Yet, if the Congress passes such a bill, this so-called compromise bill on voting rights, it will certainly amaze me if the Supreme Court does not hold it to be unconstitutional. I shall be badly disappointed if the Congress passes it. Of course, under the pressure of different organizations, left-wing organization, ADA and NAACP, both parties are dancing like jitterbugs on the civil-rights question, because they want to carry the doubtful States where the Negroes, although only a small percentage, if they vote in a bloc, can swing a State. I think it will be a great pity if the Congress passes this bill. I hate to see it pass such an unnecessary bill. It seems to me that every Representative in Congress and every Senator is practically insulting his home State if he votes for this bill. He is practically saying to the governor of his State and the legislators of his State, “Although you have bills to protect voting rights, we have no confidence in you, and although we have one Federal law, we are going to pass another Federal law, and ram it down your throats whether or not you want it.” I think it is almost an insult to the States. I suggest that they write the governors and see how many of them want this bill passed. I am wondering how many Senators in this body and how many House members have checked with the governors to find out if they want this unconstitutional monstrosity passed by the Congress. I do not believe 10 percent of the governors of the Nation would say, “We are weaklings, and we want you to pass a strong civil-rights bill because we do not have the courage to do it. We do not have the courage to protect our people.” As a matter of fact, Mr. President, the States already have laws on that subject, and I have read them into the {{sc|Record}}. The voting-rights statutes of the States have been read into the {{sc|Congressional Record}}, in the case of every State of the Union. Those who read the {{sc|Congressional Record}} will find them set forth there. Mr. President, if any Senator, on either side of the aisle, can state why it is necessary to enact another Federal law to protect the right to vote, I should like to have him do so, provided I am able to yield for that purpose without losing the floor and without having the remarks I make after yielding for that purpose counted as a second speech by me. I challenge any Senator on either side of the aisle to answer this question: Why is another Federal law needed in order to protect the right to vote, when there is already on the statute books section 594, which reads, in part, as follows: {{smaller block|Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose.}} In other words, one who intimidates, threatens, or coerces a voter, or even attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce him, may, under the provisions of this statute, be prosecuted. He may be prosecuted, not only if his purpose is to interfere with the right of such other person to vote, but also if his purpose is to interfere as to the person for whom such other person may wish to vote. Mr. President, are there teeth in this statute? There certainly are. This statute provides that anyone who intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person, or attempts to interfere with his voting for whomever he wishes to vote for, can be prosecuted in a Federal court and can be fined $1,000 or sentenced to a prison term of 1 year. Do not those provisions constitute teeth and strength in the existing law? Of course they do. If there is in the United States, today, any person who is having any trouble in exercising his voting right, again I say that all he has to do is contact the Department of Justice or the district attorney in his home State, and action can be taken under this Federal law to punish any person who interferes with his right to vote. Inasmuch as section 594 is an existing Federal statute on that subject, why is it necessary to enact another Federal statute dealing with the right to vote? It would be absolutely useless, unnecessary, and futile to enact another Federal statute on that subject; it would be a great mistake to do so, especially in view of the fact that such a statute would be unconstitutional. Mr. President, please understand that I do not even concede that the Federal Government has a right to enter this field. Instead, I believe that these matters should be handled by the respective States. However, the Federal Government is already in this field—under the provisions of section 594, by means of which a person can be fined as much as $1,000 or put in jail for as long as one year, if her tries to interfere with the right of someone else to vote. Since the Federal Government already is in this field, why should another Federal law on the same subject be enacted? Mr. President, every day that passes, the Federal Government, here in Washington, D. C., is whittling away the rights of the States. It hurts me to see the Federal Government invade fields which are reserved to the States. I deeply regret that a bigger and more powerful Federal Government is being built up in Washington, D. C. This Central Government has become tremendously top-heavy. I should like to see the States have more power. Since World War II., the Communists have taken over approximately 17 countries. In doing so, they did not invade by means of troops using bayonets and tanks; those countries were not taken over in that way by the Communists. Instead, the Communists proceeded by way of infiltration. Poland was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Poles. Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Czechs. China was taken over by the Communists with the aid of some of the Chinese. The Communists have been able to infiltrate into the central governments; they have been able to worm their way into the police systems, and then into the election systems. Then, before one could realize it, the countries were taken over by the Communists. Mr. President, why have the Communists been able to take over those countries? Since the end of World War II., they have been able to take over 17 countries, with populations totaling between 600 million and 800 million. The Communists have been able to do that because each of those countries has had a strong central government; and when the Communists obtained control of that central government, they were able to take over control of the entire country. Mr. President, the more we in the United States build up power in a strong central government, the more risk we run from the standpoint of subversive activities and infiltration. If the people of the United States have the vision to keep the 48 States strong—each with its own election laws and its own police system—there will be no way by means of which the United States can be taken over by subversion. But if more and more power is given to our Central Government, after a while the States will be nothing but territories, and will not have any power. Mr. President, the so-called civil-rights bill which the Congress is about to pass would simply take power a way from the States and would give it to the Federal Government. A Senator might say, “I should vote for the bill because it will help me in the elections.” Mr. President, Senators had better begin to think more about the welfare and safety of their country, and less about the elections. Mr. President, I am convinced that we must protect the States. The Constitution now protects them; but the Supreme Court and the Congress and the executive branch of the Government have been taking steps—by handing down decisions, passing laws, and issuing regulations and edicts—which violate the rights of the States and take away from the States the power they have. Mr. President, this development cannot continue to occur, if our country is to be safe. I am disturbed for the safety of my country. I am a brigadier general in the Army Reserve and if our country becomes engaged in an armed conflict, I am ready to serve. But we must keep our country stronger, or we shall find it engaged in conflict. One of the ways to weaken it is to weaken the States, as we are doing today, and to keep taking away the powers of the States and building up a powerful Central Government in Washington. It is the greatest mistake in the world. It was not contemplated when our Constitution was written. Our forefathers decided they would delegate a few powers to the Federal Government, and they spelled them out in the Constitution. All one has to do is to get the Constitution and read it. It spells out just what powers the Congress has, what powers the Federal Government has, but all other powers are reserved to the States and to the people thereof. At the rate we are going now, we will not have any States after a while. The Federal Government will have all the power. Mr. President, some time ago I read a book by a man by the name of James Jackson Kilpatrick, of Richmond, Va., printed by the Henry Regner Co., of Chicago, entitled “The Sovereign States.” I wish every American could read this book. I am going to read some excerpts from it today. I should like to have Senators listen to some of the passages in this book. This man is a great writer, a true patriot, and a great American. First, I am going to read a passage by John C. Calhoun, one of the five all-time great Senators, recently selected to have his portrait placed in the Senate reception room. John C. Calhoun, I think, is one of the greatest men this country has produced. I nominated him to be selected to have his portrait placed here, and I am proud the committee selected it. He was a man who had keen vision and a proper conception of the Constitution. There is one page in the beginning of the book by him that I want to read; it is very short. This is what he says: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Foreword}}}} The great and leading principle is, that the General Government emanated from the people of the several States, forming distinct political communities, and acting in their separate and sovereign capacity, and not from all of the people forming one aggregate political community; that the Constitution of the United States is, in fact, a compact, to which each State is a party, in the character already described; and that the several States, or parties, have a right to judge of its infractions; and in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of power not delegated, they have the right, in the last resort, to use the language of the Virginia resolutions, “to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining, within their respective limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.” This right of interposition, thus solemnly asserted by the State of Virginia, be it called what it may—state right, veto, nullification, or by any other name—I conceive to be the fundamental principle of our system, resting on facts historically as certain as our revolution itself, and deductions as simple and demonstrative as that of any political or moral truth whatever; and I firmly believe that on its recognition depend the stability and safety of our political institutions. {{right|{{sc|John C. Calhoun.}}|1em}} {{left|{{sc|Fort Hill}}, ''July 26, 1831''.|1em}} }} This was John C. Calhoun. He wrote that at Fort Hill, and if any Senators want to know where it is, it is at Simpson College. In fact, his home was at the college. Mr. President, my statement was that Fort Hill is at Simpson College in South Carolina. Of course, that is the greatest college in the United States. This book on the sovereign State was written, as I have said, by James J. Kilpatrick. First, I want to take up his introduction, and then I want to present some excerpts from the book: {{smaller block|{{c|{{sc|Introduction}}}} Among the more melancholy aspects of the genteel world we live in is a slow decline in the enjoyment that men once found in the combat of ideas, free and unrestrained. Competition of any sort, indeed, seems to be regarded these days, in our schools and elsewhere, as somehow not in very good taste. Under the curious doctrines of the Fair Trade Act, vigorous salesmanship is unfair, and retailers are enjoined against discommoding their fellows. Mr. Stevenson’s criticism of the administration’s foreign policy, during the last presidential campaign, was not that the policies were so very wrong: they were not bipartisan. With a few robust exceptions, our writers paint in pastels; our political scholars write a sort of ruffled-sleeve, harpsichord prose. We duel with soft pillows, or with buttoned foils; our ideas have lace on them; we are importuned to steer, with moderation, down the middle of the road. These chamber music proprieties I acknowledge, simply to say, now, that the essay which follows should not be misunderstood. May it please the court, this is not a work of history; it is a work of advocacy. The intention is not primarily to inform, but to exhort. The aim is not to be objective; it is to be partisan. I plead the cause of States rights. My thesis is that our Union is a Union of States; that the meaning of this Union has been obscured, that its inherent value has been debased and all but lost. I hold this truth to be self-evident: That government is least evil when it is closest to the people. I submit that when effective control of government moves away from the people, it becomes a greater evil, a greater restraint upon liberty. My object is not to prove that the powers and functions of government have grown steadily more centralized, more remote from the people, for that proposition requires no proof; it requires only that one open one’s eyes. Rather, my intention is to plead that the process of consolidation first be halted, then reversed, toward the end that our Federal Government may be strictly limited to its constitutional functions and the States may again be encouraged to look after their own affairs, for good or ill. A long time ago, the geometric mind of Edmund Pendleton offered a theorem. The State and Federal Governments, he said, must follow the path of parallel lines. Others have conceived the relationship in terms of spheres, separate but touching. The idea, when all this began, was that neither authority would encroach upon the other; and in the beginning, it was more feared that the States would usurp Federal powers than the other way around. Now the rights and powers of the States are being obliterated. The encroachments of the Federal Government have widened its road to a highway and narrowed the road of the States to a footpath. Having deceptively added a dimension to the Federal line, the broad constructionists declare their faithful adherence to the plans of the original draftsmen. Soon, a geometry unknown to Pendleton can proclaim the apparent miracle of parallels that meet this side of infinity. I do not know that the sovereign powers of the States may be regained at all. Justice Salmon P. Chase once remarked, with great satisfaction, that State sovereignty died at Appomattox. But I do most earnestly believe that an effort must be made to regain these powers. The alternative is for American Government to grow steadily more centralized, steadily more remote from the people, steadily more monolithic and despotic. Only the States themselves can make the effort; which is to say, only the people of the States. Only if the citizens of Virginia, as Virginians; or of Texas, as Texans; or of Iowa, as Iowans, insist upon a strict obedience to the spirit of the 10th amendment, can the Federal juggernaut be slowed. Only if the people evidence a determination once more to do for themselves can the essential vitality of a responsible and resourceful society be restored. I do not despair. So long as the I-beams and rafters of the Constitution remain undisturbed, the ravages of Federal encroachment may be repaired. A latent yearning for personal liberty, an inherited resentment against the authoritarian state, a drowsing spirit of independence—these may yet be awakened. But again, the States, as States, will have to do it. It will not be easy. In many influential quarters, it will not be popular. It is a sweet narcotic that centralists sell. Yet there is high example to be found in what the States have done before to preserve their identity. They have not always been spineless. In times past they have resisted, now successfully, now unsuccessfully; but even in their failures, something has been gained merely in the assertion of State convictions. My purpose here is first to examine the bases of State sovereignty; then to follow the State and Federal relationship from its beginnings under the Articles of Confederation through its refinement in the Constitution; next to review some of the comment on the role the States were expected to play. The place of the States scarcely had been fixed, it will be submitted, before advocates of consolidation began to whittle it down—first in the ''Chisholm'' case, which led to the 11th amendment, and more memorably in the Alien and Sedition Acts, which led to the “Doctrine of ’98” and the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of that year. It is proposed to follow this doctrine of the States’ “right to interpose,” in its various forms and applications down through the years, with particular emphasis upon the dangers of judicial encroachment and the need for State resistance against it. Finally, I have in mind to marshal some of the evidence which supports the case for the South in its immediate conflict with Federal authority, and to review other recent events that seem to me usurpations of the States’ reserved powers. So much, then for the plan of this book. The political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall will not care much for it. {{right|J. J. K.|1em}} {{left|{{sc|Richmond, Va.}}, ''September 1956''.|1em}} }} That was the introduction to the book The Sovereign States, by James J. Kilpatrick. James J. Kilpatrick is one of the greatest editors in the Nation today. I will read certain excerpts from the book, beginning on page 3. First I will read a quotation opposite page 3: {{smaller block|The States within the limitations of their powers not granted, or, in the language of the 10th amendment, “reserved,” are as independent of the General Government as the General Government, within its sphere, is independent of the States. (Justice Samuel Nelson, ''Collector'' v. ''Day'' (1871).)}} Mr. Kilpatrick has done a fine job and rendered a great service to this country in writing this book: {{smaller block|“The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.”}} Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to here yield to the distinguished Senator from Louisiana, for a question. Mr. LONG. Did I correctly understand the Senator to make the statement that, according to the preface or introduction to the book, the book would be displeasing to those who agreed with Alexander Hamilton, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, the forerunner of the American Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. The editor said that the political heirs of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall would not care much for the book. Alexander Hamilton was a great American, but his philosophy was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. They were both great Americans, but Alexander Hamilton believed more in the theory of a strong Central Government, with the power residing in Washington. Thomas Jefferson’s idea was that the power should remain with the States, and that only so much power should be given to the Federal Government as was necessary to perform its functions as delineated in the Constitution. The Senator has probably read many books about Hamilton. In one of such books his philosophy is described in this way: {{smaller block|Speaking of education, Alexander Hamilton’s thought was to select some of the brightest young men and educate them, to make them leaders. Thomas Jefferaon’s philosophy was to give all an opportunity, and let the leaders rise where they would.}} So, when Kilpatrick wrote this statement I am confident that he was contrasting the philosophy of Hamilton more or less with that of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton was a very able man, one of the greatest Americans this country has produced; but his philosophy, as the Senator well knows from studying his life and history, was different from that of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it the view of the Senator that Alexander Hamilton would ever for a moment have approved of any proposal whereby an American accused of a crime would have been denied the right to present his case before a jury of impartial people who would hear the case, judge the evidence, and find him guilty or innocent? Mr. THURMOND. In reply, I will say no. I think Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson both would have approved of trial by jury. They were both delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and they both rendered magnificent service in many ways. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, if the Senator will further yield, I believe he will find that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, did the Senator yield for a question or a statemen? Mr. LONG. The Senator yielded for a question. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield to the Senator from Louisiana for a question. The Senator is correct about Thomas Jefferson. I had in mind Madison. Mr. LONG. Does not the Senator realize that Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention? The Senator is perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the convention which adopted the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was the drafter of the American Declaration of Independence. Is not, the Senator perhaps confusing the Constitutional Convention with the fact that Thomas Jefferson was one of those who participated in drafting the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson was the American Ambassador to France at the time the Constitution was drafted. Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Thomas Jefferson was Ambassador to France, but Alexander Hamilton was a delegate from New York State, and he signed the Constitution. In fact, he was the only delegate from New York State who signed the Constitution. When I spoke a few minutes ago about Jefferson, I was thinking about Madison. Madison signed the Constitution, as did Blair. Both were from Virginia. George Washington presided over the Convention. Mr. LONG. Is there any doubt in the Senator’s mind that, so far as Alexander Hamilton was concerned, he would never for a moment have contested the right of any citizen to be tried before a jury if he were accused of a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I agree. If he had taken any other position, he would not have signed the Constitution. As I have stated, Alexander Hamilton was the only delegate from the State of New York who signed the Constitution as representing the State of New York. In the original Constitution, article III, section 2, provided for jury trial. Mr. LONG. Is it not, therefore, true that insofar as the right of a citizen to be tried by jury for a crime is concerned, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would have agreed 100 percent that the freedoms guaranteed Americans under their form of government included the right to be tried by a jury of their own neighbors, in the area where the crime was committed, in the event they were accused of committing a crime? Mr. THURMOND. I can yield only for a question. I shall be glad to express myself after the Senator has concluded. Let the Senator ask any question he wishes. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to state that, although the book from which the Senator is reading may not reflect the views of Alexander Hamilton, it is nevertheless correct to state that Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson would both have agreed that anyone accused of a crime should have the right to be tried before a jury of his neighbors? Mr. THURMOND. I thoroughly agree. In my judgment, if Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were living today, and both were Members of the Senate, both would be fighting for the right to a jury trial, as provided in the Constitution of the United States. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to say that so far as we can determine there has never been a man who served in this body, and who was regarded as a great statesman, who has ever at any time advocated that American citizens should be denied their right to be tried by a jury in the event they were accused of committing a crime against the United States or against a State? Mr. THURMOND. I think the able Senator is eminently correct. I do not know of a great man in our history, any man whom I would consider great, whose name is on the lips of the people—I cannot think of a single one in our history who would take a position in opposition to jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Scott}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from Louisiana? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not correct to paraphrase more or less the words of Shakespeare, that those American politicians who have fought against the freedom of Americans to be tried by a jury when accused of a crime have been politicians who more or less strutted and strutted their brief hour on the stage to be heard from no more? Mr. THURMOND. I do not think any man who takes a stand against giving a person a jury trial will be long remembered after he has gone or when his record is searched and it is found that he opposed a jury trial. I think we would immediately call for a reappraisal of his whole life in the event he had been considered a great man previous to that time. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that men like George Norris, William Borah, and Robert M. La Follette, who fought through the years for the right of trial by jury, have statues standing in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building? Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is eminently correct. In fact, there is a quotation from George Norris which I read last night. If I can put my hand on it I should like to read it to the Senator from Louisiana. I have never read a stronger statement in behalf of a jury trial. He said that in all cases a man should have a jury trial. The distinguished Senator from Virginia [Mr. {{sc|Byrd}}] and the distinguished Senator from Mississippi [Mr. {{sc|Eastland}}] and I introduced a bill in March to provide the very type of jury trial which Senator Norris recommended. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. The Senator from South Carolina having made a great study of all these matters involving jury trials, the freedom of Americans, and States rights, can he now name from memory a single one of those Senators who made a fight down through the years to deny American citizens of the right of trial by jury? Mr. THURMOND. I could not name a single man whom I considered a great man or a great Senator who opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Does the Senator recall the names of any Americans who have served in this body and who have made a fight against the right of a man accused of a crime to be tried by a jury? Can the Senator offhand recall the name of any such person? Mr. THURMOND. I cannot recall the name of any American of any stature within my recollection who has opposed jury trials. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator Borah’s statue is just outside the main entrance of the Senate Chamber, immediately outside the door? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. I see it every time I go through the door. Mr. LONG. Is the Senator aware of the fact that Senator William E. Borah, a great constitutional lawyer, even though he came from a very small Western State, population considered, was seriously considered by the Republican Party as its nominee for the Presidency of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. I have been told that. I did not know the Senator personally; only through reputation. But I know he was a great American. He declared on April 8, 1930: {{smaller block|I am not contending here that labor organizations can at any time employ threats, force, or violence or intimidation. They must keep within the law—}} He was referring there to jury trials in labor cases. I have a long report including a speech by Senator Norris on May 2, 1930. I read it last night— Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question at that point? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that those who oppose the right of jury trials are basically those who do not believe in the freedoms that Americans enjoy under the Constitution? Mr. THURMOND. I certainly agree with the Senator. I think the jury trial is one of the greatest freedoms we have. I look upon it as the heart of the Bill of Rights. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? MT. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that persons who fear that juries may not convict guilty persons are those who really have very little confidence in the determination of people to uphold free government? Mr. THURMOND. It seems to me they could not have much confidence in human nature; otherwise they would favor jury trials. To be tried by a man’s neighbors, his peers, his fellow men, is the fairest way a man could be tried. I sat on the bench for 8 years and tried many cases, but I always felt much better about it when a jury passed on the question. I watched closely the verdicts of juries. I was deeply impressed. I feel that juries come nearer to meting out justice to criminals than it can be done in any other way. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LONG. Recognizing the fact that it is possible for a jury to turn a guilty person free, is it not also true that the freedoms which Americans enjoy under their Constitution were calculated in such fashion as to express the philosophy that it is better to turn 9 guilty men free than to send 1 innocent man to the penitentiary or to his death? Mr. THURMOND. I never did go on the theory of nine guilty ones being turned loose. There is no doubt that there is a common saying to that effect. If I had to make a decision as to whether I would turn 9 guilty ones loose, or put 1 innocent man in prison, I would turn the 9 loose. I think that would be the thinking and the feeling of the average American. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Does not this logic become conclusively clear when we contemplate for a moment a capital punishment case where it is possible to put an innocent man to death? In such a situation, would it not be better for the court to turn 9 culprits loose rather than to kill 1 innocent man? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. Mr. LONG. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. There is no question about it. Some juries make mistakes. Anybody in any kind of work makes mistakes. Everybody has weaknesses and there are bound to be errors. Judges make mistakes. Of course, often a judge’s philosophy is different. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that anyone can make mistakes, is it not somewhat better that the scales of justice should be weighted a little in favor of finding a person innocent when there is a considerable doubt as to whether the person is innocent or guilty? Mr. THURMOND. Our law is based on the presumption that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a common legal principle that any lawyer knows about who has practiced any criminal law. I do not know precisely what the Senator had in mind on that, though, for this reason: I do not think if a man is given a jury trial, a jury necessarily lets him go free. I think a jury is going to do what it thinks is right unless it is biased, or has been approached in some way, or influenced in some way. Of course, that happens sometimes. It does not happen often, but I think it does happen sometimes. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. Can the Senator imagine a judge who issues an order ordering the entire world to comply with his injunction as being as fair and impartial as a jury before which a case involving a violation of his order should be tried? Mr. THURMOND. When a judge hears a contempt case he is the legislator, he is the prosecutor, he is the judge, and he is the jury. If I were a judge and if such a law as is here proposed were on the books, if I were back on the bench, and if I had to act under this type law, I would submit it to the jury anyway. Mr. LONG. Will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to hear it. Mr. LONG. In view of the fact that it is contemplated that a judge makes a law by issuing the injunction and then cites the individuals whom he cares to cite, can the Senator think of anything any more inappropriate than the judge who makes the law, addressed to individuals, should be the same person to try the same individuals for violating his own order? Does the Senator not believe that any judge worthy of the name would at least want to have a jury to prove that justice is being done to people who violated his own order? Mr. THURMOND. I think the Senator is eminently correct. It is unfortunate that a judge who issues an order of contempt has to try the case, because he has already made up his mind to a certain degree. Of course, that might be removed. But still he has made up his mind, or he would not issue the order. Mr. LONG. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a further question. Mr. LONG. Is it not true that a person who is responsible for issuing the edict and commanding people to do certain things at his discretion should be the last person to make the final decision on who should be punished for not obeying his order? Mr. THURMOND. I agree with the Senator. In fact, this is known as injunction-made law. That is what it is. It is injunction-made law, and it is bad law. It is much better to have a jury trial. That is the American way of doing things. That is one of the grievances complained of by those who signed the Declaration of Independence, as I have brought out, namely, that in a great many cases they were denied jury trials. Provisions for jury trial are embodied in several places in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, so there is no question about the whole intent of our judicial system. Our administration of justice has been based upon jury trials. I think it is one of the most fundamental principles embodied in our type of government. If this so-called compromise amendment were to go a little bit further, it would sound more like a Communist amendment. I do not believe I read what Senator Norris said about jury trial. He said: {{smaller block|I wonder if a suffering people, whose forefathers fought for liberty, are going to give up the idea of it in this day and age, in this civilized day, and are going to submit to injunction-made law.}} He was wondering whether they were going to submit to it. {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|1. THE BEGINNINGS}}}} “The true distinction,” said Mr. Pendleton, with some irritation, “is that the two governments are established for different purposes, and act on different objects.” This was on the sunny afternoon of Thursday, June 12, 1788, in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill in Richmond. The Virginia Convention had been grappling for 10 days with the new Constitution, and Edmund Pendleton, aging and crippled, had been sitting in dignified silence for as long as he could stand it. Patrick Henry, who was a hard man to live with at any time, was being especially difficult. Once before, on the 5th, Pendleton bad attempted to soothe him, but Henry was not to be soothed. The State and Federal Governments would be at war with one another, Henry had predicted, and the State governments ultimately would be destroyed and consolidated into the General Government. One by one their powers would be snatched from them. A rapacious Federal authority, ever seeking to expand its grasp, could not be confined by the States. “Notwithstanding what the worthy gentleman said,” remarked Mr. Pendleton with some warmth, for there were times when he regarded Mr. Henry as neither worthy nor a gentleman. “I believe I am still correct, and insist that, if each power is confined within its proper bounds, and to its proper objects, an interference can never happen. Being for two different purposes, as long as they are limited to the different objects, they can no more clash than two parallel lines can meet. * * *” They were big ifs that Edmund Pendleton, a judicious man, here used as qualifications. If the State and Federal Governments were each confined within its proper bounds, be said, the clash could never come. But the Federal Government could not be kept confined, even as Henry feared, and the clash did come. It continues to this day. Mr. Pendleton’s geometry was fine, but his powers of prophecy (for be believed that each government could be kept in check) were sadly in error. To understand how the parallel lines of State and Federal powers have turned awry, it is necessary to look back at the period before these lines were drawn. The acts of ratification by Virginia and her neighbors were acts of sovereign States. At stake was their consent to a written constitution. How, it may be inquired, did they come to be sovereign States? What is this concept of State sovereignty? It would be possible, in any such review, to go back to the great roots of Runnymede, but it will suffice to begin much later, in the turbulent summer of 1776. The startling commitments of Lexington and Concord were behind us then; the bitter trials of White Plains, Vincennes, Camden, and Yorktown still lay ahead. March and April and May had passed—a time of bringing forth of newness, of fresh hope—and great human events had run their course. Now, in June, a resurgent people made the solemn decision to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another. Thus Jefferson’s draft began, thus the Continental Congress adopted it at Philadelphia; from this moment Americans unborn were to date the years of their independence. The eloquent beginning of the Declaration—the assertion of truths self-evident and rights beyond alienation—is well known: It is a towering irony that Jefferson, whose convictions were cemented in the inequality of man, should have his precise phrase corrupted by the levelers of a bulldozer society. The Declaration’s beginning is too much recited and too little read. What counts, for our present purpose, is not the first paragraph, but the last. Let us inquire, What, precisely, was it that we declared ourselves to be that Fourth of July? Hitherto there had been colonies subject to the King. That form of government would now be abolished. We would now solemnly publish and declare to a candid world—what? That the people of the colonies had formed a free and independent nation? By no means. Or that they were henceforth a free and independent people? Still no. This was the declaration: “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Not one State, or one Nation, but in the plural—States; and again, in the next breath, so this multiple birth could not be misunderstood, “that as free and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.” It had opened, this Declaration, as an enunciation of what often are termed the “human rights,” but it concluded, in the plainest terms, as a pronouncement of political powers—the political powers of newly created States. And these powers of war and peace, these powers of alliance and commerce, were published not as the powers of a national government, but as powers henceforth asserted by 13 free and independent states. To be sure, the States were united. Their representatives styled themselves Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, but it was not the spokesmen of a nation who gathered in parliament. These were States in Congress. “One out of many,” it is said. In a sense, yes. But the many remained—separate States, individual entities, each possessed, from that moment, of sovereign rights and powers. Certainly Jefferson so understood our creation. “The several States,” he was to write much later, “were, from their first establishment, separate and distinct societies, dependent on no other society of men whatever.” So Mr. Justice Samuel Chase comprehended it: He considered the Declaration of Independence, “as a declaration, not that the United Colonies Jointly, in a collective capacity, were independent States, etc., but that each of them was a sovereign and independent State, that is, that each of them had a right to govern itself by its own authority, and its own laws without any control from any other power on earth.” From the Fourth of July, said Chase, “the American States were ''de facto'' as well as ''de jure'' in the possession and actual exercise of all the rights of independent governments. * * * I have ever considered it as the established doctrine of the United States, that their independence originated from, and commenced with, the declaration of Congress, on the Fourth of July 1776; and that no other period can be fixed on for its commencement; and that all laws made by the legislatures of the several States, after the Declaration of Independence, were the laws of sovereign and independent governments.” So, too, the sage and cool-minded Mr. Justice Cushing: “The several States which composed this Union * * * became entitled, from the time when they declared themselves independent, to all the rights and powers of sovereign States.” Even Marshall himself had no doubts: In the beginning, “we were divided into independent States, united for some purposes, but in most respects sovereign.” The lines which separate the States, he later remarked, were too clear ever to be misunderstood. And for a contemporary authority, it is necessary only to turn to Mr. Justice Frankfurter, who some years ago fell to discussing the dual powers of taxation preserved under the Constitution: “The States,” he said, “after they formed the Union”—not the people, but the States, “continued to have the same range of taxing power which they had before, barring only duties affecting exports, imports, and on tonnage.” Regrettably, Mr. Justice Frankfurter appears in more recent times to have lost his concept of States forming a Union. It is no matter. Evidence of the States’ individual sovereignty is abundantly available. Consider for example, the powers asserted on the part of each State in the Declaration “to levy War, conclude Peace, and contract Alliances.” Surely these are sovereign powers. The States exercised them, as States, in the Revolutionary War. But it is of value to note that New York also very nearly exercised her war powers to enter into formal hostilities with the State of Vermont. Tensions reached so grave a point that Massachusetts, in 1784, felt compelled to adopt a formal resolution of neutrality, enjoining her citizens to give “no aid or assistance to either party,” and to send “no provisions, arms, or ammunition or other necessities to a fortress or garrison” besieged by either belligerent. When New York adopted a resolution avowing her readiness to “ecur to force,”" Vermont’s Governor Chittenden (whose son was to be heard from 30 years later in another row) observed that Vermont “does not wish to enter into a war with the State of New York.” But should this unhappy contingency result, Vermont “expects that Congress and the 12 States will observe a strict neutrality, and let the contending States settle their own controversy.” They did settle it, of course. New York and Vermont concluded a peace. The point is that no one saw anything especially remarkable in two separate sovereignties arraying themselves against each other. Vermont was then an individual political entity, as remote at law as any France or Italy. And New York, though a member of the Confederation, and hence technically required to obtain the consent of Congress before waging war, had every right to maintain a standing army for her own defense. The status of the individual States as separate sovereign powers was recognized on higher authority than the proclamations of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is worth our while to keep in mind the first article of the treaty of September 3, 1783, by which the war of the Revolution came to an end: “His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, to be free, sovereign, and independent States; that he treats with them as such.” More than 5 years earlier, a treaty of amity and commerce with France had established the same sovereign status of the contracting parties. Louis XVI. treated with the 13 American States, but he recognized each of them as a separate power. And it is interesting to note that Virginia, feeling some action desirable to complete the treaty, prior to action by Congress, on June 4, 1779, undertook solemnly to ratify this treaty with France on her own. By appropriate resolution, transmitted by Governor Jefferson to the French minister at Philadelphia, the sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia declared herself individually bound by the French treaty. In terms of international law, Virginia was a nation; in terms of domestic law, she was a sovereign State. {{c|{{asc|2. THE STATE}}}} To review the process by which the colonies became States is not necessarily to answer the basic question, What is a State? It is a troublesome word. The standard definition is that a State is “a political body, or body politic; any body of people occupying a definite territory and politically organized under one government, especially one that is not subject to external control.” Chief Justice Chase, in ''Texas'' v. ''White'', put it this way: “A State, in the ordinary sense of the Constitution, is a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanctioned and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed.” In the Cherokee case, John Marshall described a State as “a distinct political society, separated from others, capable of managing its own affairs and governing itself.” Thus, variously, a State is defined as a body, a community, and a distinct society. Plainly, mere boundary lines are not enough; a tract of waste and uninhabited land cannot constitute a State. Nor are people, as such, sufficient to constitute a State. James Brown Scott once offered this clear and succinct definition: “The State is an artificial person, representing and controlled by its members, but not synonymous or identical with them. Created for a political purpose, it is a body politic. It is a distinct body, an artificial person; it has a will distinct from its members, although its exercise is controlled by them; it has rights and duties distinct from its members, but subject to being changed by them; it may hold property distinct from its members, but in trust for them; it may act separately and distinctly from them and bind them by its acts, but only insofar as it is authorized by the law of its creation, and subject to being changed by the source of that power.” Thus the State is seen as a continuing political being, controlled by its citizens and yet controlling them. The State can be bound in ways that its own people cannot be bound; it can exercise powers that no citizen or group of citizens may exercise for themselves. The State may buy, sell, hold, grant, convey; it may tax and spend; it may sue, and if it consent, be sued; it exists to create law and to execute law, to punish crime, administer justice, regulate commerce, enter into compacts with other States. Yet there is no State until a community of human beings create a State; and no State may exist without the will and the power of human beings to preserve it. It is this combination of will and power which lies at the essence of the State in being. This is sovereignty. In the crisp phrase of John Taylor, of Caroline, sovereignty is “the will to enact, the power to execute.” Long books have been written on the nature of sovereignty, but they boil down to those necessities: The will to make, the power to unmake. It was this power, this will, that the people as States claimed for themselves in 1776. Henceforth, they said, we are sovereign: The State government is not sovereign, nor is any citizen by himself sovereign. By the “sovereign State” we mean us citizens, the State; we collectively, within our established boundaries; this community of people; we alone who are possessed of the power to create or to abandon. God knows it was a great, a priceless, power these people as Stat es claimed for themselves. True, not everyone saw it that way. Mr. Justice Story, for one, never grasped the concept of States. Nor did Jackson. Albert J. Beveridge, in his biography of Marshall, refers sneeringly to the States as “these pompous sovereignties,” but in a way, Beveridge’s is perhaps a high acknowledgment of the simple truth: These infant States were sovereignties, and the people within them were proudly jealous of the fact. They saw themselves, in Blackstone’s phrase, “a supreme, irresistible, absolute, uncontrolled authority.” This, among other things, was the aim they had fought for. It cannot be imagined that they ever would have relinquished this high power of sovereignty except in the most explicit terms. {{c|{{asc|3. THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION}}}} In time, the Continental Congress gave way to the Articles of Confederation. The articles merit examination with the utmost care; they are too little studied, and there is much to be learned from them. First proposed in 1778, the articles became binding upon all the States with Maryland’s ratification in 1781. Throughout this period, as the war ran on, each of the States was individually sovereign, each wholly autonomous. Mr. Justice Iredell was to observe, in 1795, that had the individual States decided not to unite together, each would have gone its own way, because each “possessed all the powers of sovereignty, internal and external * * * as completely as any of the ancient kingdoms or republics of the world which never yet had formed, or thought of forming, any sort of Federal union whatever.” But they did form a Federal union—a “perpetual union between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.” They styled themselves, “The United States of America,” and in the very second article of their compact, they put this down so no one might miss it: “Each State retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled.” The third article is almost equally brief, and may be quoted in less space than would be required to summarize it: “The said States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever.” There will be seen, in these opening paragraphs, the genesis of constitutional provisions that were to follow in less than a decade. Here is the forerunner of the 10th amendment, with its reservation of undelegated powers to the State or to the people; here are the aims set forth of “common defense” and the “general welfare.” The fourth article advanced other phrases that have come down to us: The free inhabitants of each State (“paupers, vagabonds, and fugitives from justice excepted”) were to be entitled to “all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States.” Here, too, one finds the provision, later to be inserted substantially verbatim in article IV. of the Constitution of 1787, providing for the extradition of fugitives. Here the States mutually agreed that “full faith and credit shall be given in each of these States to the records, acts, and judicial proceedings of the courts and magistrates of every other State.” The fifth article provided for representation of the States in Congress. There were to be no less than 2, no more than 7 delegates from each State. They would assemble on the first Monday in November of every year. In this Congress, each State cast one vote; each State paid the salary and maintenance of its own delegates. These provisions, of course, were later abandoned; but we may note that the fifth article prohibited delegates to the Congress from “holding any office under the United States for which he or another for his benefit receives any salary, fees, or emolument of any kind,” and also provided that “freedom of speech and debate in Congress shall not be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Congress.” Both provisions were to turn up later in article I., section 6, of the Constitution. The sixth and seventh articles dealt generally with limitations upon the States in terms of foreign affairs and the waging of war. Again, many a familiar phrase leaps from this much-maligned compact of Confederation. No State, nor the Congress, was to grant a title of nobility; no two or more States were to enter into any treaty, confederation, or alliance without the consent of the other States in Congress assembled; no State was to keep vessels of war in time of peace (“except such number as shall be deemed necessary by the United States in Congress assembled”), nor was any State to engaged in war without the consent of Congress “unless such State be actually invaded by enemies, or * * * the danger is so imminent as not to admit of a delay * * *.” The eighth article provided for defraying the expenses of war among the State “in proportion to the value of all land within each State,” and the ninth article dealt with the powers of Congress. Once more, the origin of a dozen specific phrases in our present Constitution is evident. Congress was given the “sole and exclusive right and power of determining on peace and war.” It was to enter into treaties and alliances, establish certain courts, fix standard weights and measures, and establish post offices. But the Congress alone could do almost none of these things—it could exercise no important power—without the consent of nine of the member States. The remaining 4 articles are of less interest and concern, although it may be noted that in 3 places, the framers of the Articles of Confederation provided that their union was a permanent union. The articles were to be inviolably observed by the States the delegates respectively represented, “and the union shall be perpetual.” {{c|{{asc|4. WE, THE PEOPLE}}}} Of course, it wasn’t perpetual at all. Before 6 years had elapsed, the States came to recognize grave defects in the Articles of Confederation. And because they were sovereign States—because they had the will to enact and the power to execute, because they who had made could unmake—they set out to do the job again. What they made, this time, was the Constitution of the United States. So much has been {{SIC|writen|written}} of the deliberations that summer of 1787 in Philadelphia—so many critics have examined every word of the great document which came forth—that probably no new light can be shed upon it here. Yet the constitutions of most States command their citizens to recur frequently to fundamental principles and the commandment is too valuable an admonition to be passed by. There is much of interest to be found if one examines the Constitution, the debates and the commentaries of the time, in terms of the relationship there established between the States and the new Federal Government they formed. It may be inquired, was sovereignty here surrendered in whole or in part? What powers were delegated, what powers retained?}} Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, I do not want the Senator to strain his voice, but I do have some responsibilities as minority leader. I do not think the Senator is making any motion, but I should at least like to know what is going on in the Senate Chamber. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I yield for a question if the Senator has a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. My question is, Would the Senator speak up? I do not want him to strain his voice, but I should like him to speak a little louder so I shall be sure no motions are being made or anything of that sort. I do have some responsibility here. Mr. THURMOND. I suggest that the Senator move closer to me. Mr. KNOWLAND. Under the rules of the Senate, which are now being strictly enforced, both Senators being in their respective seats, and this happening to be my seat as the minority leader, I urge my request of the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. We might get unanimous consent to allow the Senator to come closer to me if he wishes. I do not think my colleagues will raise any point. There is an excellent seat here, I may say to the Senator. Mr. KNOWLAND. I am very well satisfied with the seat to which I am assigned. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I continue to read: {{smaller block|What were the functions to be performed by the States in the future? Was it ever intended that the States should be reduced to the weakling role thrust upon them in our own time? We must inquire whether this proud possession of State sovereignty, so eloquently proclaimed in 1776, so resolutely affirmed in the articles of 1781, so clearly recognized in the events of the time, somehow vanished, died, turned to dust, totally ceased to exist in the period of the next 6 years. Now, the argument here advanced is this—it is the argument of John Taylor of Caroline and John Randolph of Roanoke—that sovereignty, like chastity, cannot be surrendered in part. This was the argument also of Calhoun: “I maintain that sovereignty is in its nature indivisible. It is the supreme power in a State, and we might just as well speak of half a square, or half a triangle, as of half a sovereignty.” This was the position, too, of the bellicose George Troup of Georgia, of Alexander H. Stephens, of Jefferson Davis. It is the position of plain commonsense: Supreme and ultimate power must be precisely that. Finality knows no degrees. In law, as in mountain climbing, there comes a point at which the pinnacle is reached; nothing higher or greater remains. And so it is with the States of the American Union. In the last resort, it is their prerogative alone (not that of Congress, not that of the Supreme Court, not that of the whole people) to make or unmake our fundamental law. The argument here is that the States, in forming a new perpetual union to replace their old perpetual union, remained in essence what they had been before: Separate, free, and independent States. They surrendered nothing to the Federal Government they created. Some of their powers they delegated; all of their sovereignty they retained. It is keenly important that this distinction be understood. There is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign power. The power to coin money, or to levy taxes, is a sovereign power, but it is not sovereignty. Powers can be delegated, limited, expanded, or withdrawn, but it is through the exercise of sovereignty that these changes take place. Sovereignty is the moving river, sovereign powers the stone at the mill. Only while the river flows can the inanimate stone revolve. To be sure, sovereignty can be lost—it can be lost by conquest, as in war; the extent or character of sovereignty can be changed, as in the acquisition or relinquishment of territory or the annexation of new peoples; sovereignty can be divided, when two States are created of one. But properly viewed, sovereignty is cause; sovereign powers, the effect: The wind that blows; the branches that move. Sovereignty is the essence, the life spirit, the soul: And in this Republic, sovereignty remains today where it was vested in 1776, in the people. But in the people as a whole? No. In the people as States. The delusion that sovereignty is vested in the whole people of the United States is one of the strangest misconceptions of our public life. This hallucination has been encouraged, if not directly espoused, by such eminent figures as Marshall, Story, and Andrew Jackson. It is still embraced by excessively literal and unthinking fellows who read “we the people” in the preamble to the Constitution, and cry triumphantly, “that means everybody.” It does not; it never did. The preamble to the abandoned Articles of Confederation, it was noted, declared the articles “binding between the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York,” and so forth. The preamble offered by the Convention of 1787, reads: “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” The opening few words were questioned repeatedly by Patrick Henry in the Virginia Convention of 1788. He kept asking querulously, what was meant by “we the people,” but he got no very satisfactory answer for his pains. Governor Randolph ducked the question, and Pendleton missed the point. Pendleton asked, rhetorically, “who but the people have a right to form government?” and the answer, obviously, in America, is “no one.” Then Pendleton said this: “If the objection be, that the Union ought to be not of the people, but of the State governments, then I think the choice of the former very happy and proper. What have the State governments to do with it?” Again, the obvious answer is, “The State governments have nothing to do with it,” but that was not the question Henry asked. There is a plain distinction between “we the States” and “we the State governments,” for States endure while governments fall. It was Madison who came closest to answering the insistent Henry. Who are the parties to the Constitution? The people, said Madison, to be sure, are the parties to it, but “not the people as composing one great body.” Rather, it is “the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” And he added:}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina when he was a judge in South Carolina? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair cannot hear. Will the Senator speak a little louder? Mr. THURMOND. From 1938 to 1946, 8 years. Mr. LANGER. The Senator was a circuit judge, was he not? Mr. THURMOND. Yes; in the highest trial court in the State. About half that time I was in the Army, overseas. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Continuing to quote from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|“Were it * * * a consolidated government, the assent of a majority of the people would be sufficient for its establishment; and, as a majority have adopted it already, we remaining States would be bound by the act of the majority, even if they unanimously reprobated it * * * But, sir, no State is bound by it, as it is, without its own consent.” Col. Henry Lee took the same point of view in responding to Patrick Henry. Lighthorse Harry spoke as other proponents of the Constitution did, in irritation and perplexity. He could not comprehend why Henry’s question should even be asked. Obviously, the “we the people” mentioned in the preamble—the “we the people” there and then engaged in ratifying the Constitution—were we “the people of Virginia.” If the people of Virginia “do not adopt it, it will always be null and void as to us.” Here Lee touched and tossed aside what doubtless was so clear to others that they could not understand what Henry was quibbling about. Of course, “we the people” meant what Madison and Lee found so obvious: It meant “we the people of the States.” Why argue the point? “I take this,” said Randolph testily, “to be one of the least and most trivial objections that will be made to the Constitution.” The self-evident fact, as plain as the buttons on their coats, was that the whole people, the mass of people from Georgia to New Hampshire, obviously had nothing to do with the ratification of the Constitution. The basic charter of our Union never was submitted to popular referendum, taken simultaneously among the 3 million inhabitants of the country on some Tuesday in 1788. Ratification was achieved by the people of the States, acting in their sovereign capacity not as “Americans,” for there is no “State of America,” but in their sovereign capacity as citizens of the States of Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Georgia. This was the sovereign power that sired the new Union, breathed upon it, gave it life—the power of the people of the States, acting as States, binding themselves as States, seeking to form a more perfect union not of people, but of States. And if it be inquired, as a matter of drafting, why the preamble of the Articles of Confederation spelled out 13 States and the preamble of the Constitution referred only to “we the people,” a simple, uncomplicated explanation may be advanced: The framers of the Constitution, in the summer of 1787, had no way of knowing how many States would assent to the compact. Suppose they had begun the preamble, as they thought of doing, “We the people of New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island,” etc., and the State of Rhode Island had refused to ratify? It very nearly did. It was not until May 29, 1790, by a vote of 34 to 32, that Rhode Island agreed to join a union that actually had been created with New Hampshire’s ratification nearly 2 full years before. Given a switch of two votes, Rhode Island might have remained, to this day, as foreign to the United States (in terms of international law) as any Luxembourg or Switzerland. Some of these forebodings clearly passed through the minds of the delegates at Philadelphia. When the preamble first appears in the notes, on August 6, it reads: “We the people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts,” etc., “do ordain, declare and establish the following Constitution.” In that form it was tentatively approved on August 7. But the preamble, in that form, never is mentioned again. When the document came back from the Committee on Style in early September, the preamble had been amended to eliminate the spelled-out names of States, and to make it read simply that “we the people” ordain and establish. The change was not haggled over. No significance was attached to it. Why arouse antagonism in New York or North Carolina (where there was opposition enough already) by presuming to speak, in the preamble, as if it were unnecessary for New York or North Carolina even to debate the matter? The tactful and prudent thing was to name no States. Only the people as States could create the Union; only the people in ratifying States would be bound, as States, by its provisions. {{c|{{asc|5. THE STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION}}}} In the end, that was the way the compact read. It bound States—“The ratification of the conventions of nine States shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between”—between whom?—“between the States so ratifying the same.” Not among people; it was “between States.” And this proposal was put forward “by the unanimous consent,” not of delegates assembled or of people gathered, but by “the unanimous consent of the States present the 17th day of September in the year of our Lord 1787 * * *.” On the plain evidence of the instrument itself, it is therefore clear: States consented to the drafting of the Constitution; States undertook to bind themselves by its provisions. If 9 States ratified, the Constitution would bind those 9; if 10, those 10. Rhode Island had not even attended the convention; “poor, despised Rhode Island,” as Patrick Henry later was to describe her, could stay aloof if she chose. There was no thought here of people in the mass. There was thought only of people as States, and while the new Constitution would of course act directly upon people—that was to be its revolutionary change—it would reach those people only because they first were people of States. The one essential prerequisite was for the State, as a State, to ratify; then the people of the State would become themselves subject to the Constitution. No individual human being, in his own capacity, possibly could assent to the new compact or bind himself to its provisions. Only as a citizen of Virginia or Georgia or Massachusetts could he become a citizen also of the United States. Madison recognized this. He acknowledged in his famed Federalist 39 that ratification of the Constitution must come from the people “not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong.” “Each State,” he said, in ratifying the Constitution, “is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act.” This fact lay at the essence of the Federal Union being formed. The States, and within them their local governments, were to be “no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.” The jurisdiction of the Federal Government was to extend “to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.” Even the most casual reading of the Constitution, it may be submitted, abundantly supports Madison’s comment here.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be glad to yield to the able Senator from North Dakota for a question. Mr. LANGER. I should like to ask whether at any time in the history of South Carolina the courts permitted a defendant to be tried without a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In South Carolina anyone who wishes a jury may have one. There are a few instances where both sides agree to be tried without a jury, by the court. But a defendant is entitled to a jury trial in my State, as is the case in other States which follow the Constitution. Mr. LANGER. In what year was South Carolina admitted to the Union? It was one of the original colonies, was it not? Mr. THURMOND. In 1789. It was the eighth State admitted to the Union. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield further for a question? Mr: THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Even at that time in South Carolina a defendant had the right to a jury trial, did he not? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. That has been the law continuously up to the present time? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. A defendant in South Carolina is always entitled to a jury trial when charged with a crime. Mr. LANGER. Is that also true in North Carolina? Mr. THURMOND. I would not attempt to speak for North Carolina, but I feel quite certain that that is a fact. I believe nine States ratified the Constitution before North Carolina did. So North Carolina came in after the Union was formed. So did Rhode Island. Rhode Island was the only State that did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. The reason for that was that Rhode Island was in the hands of radicals at that time and it did not send any deputies. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. LANGER. Is it true that in every State in the United States under our Constitution a defendant has the right to a trial by jury in a criminal case? Mr. THURMOND. In every State of the United States a defendant charged with a crime has the right of trial by jury. Some persons confuse magistrate courts or minor courts; but even there, although we may not see it, there is a jury box. Most persons, unless they are lawyers, do not know that defendants are entitled to a jury trial in those courts. There is a jury box hidden somewhere. Nine out of ten do not ask for a jury trial; that is, in cases where the punishment is a fine of $100 or 30 days. But even there if a man says “Wait a minute, Mr. Recorder; I want a trial before a jury,” it must be given to him. Mr. LANGER. That is true, for example, if a man is arrested and charged with spitting on the sidewalk or with stealing one cent? Mr. THURMOND. Any crime. Mr. LANGER. In other words, trial by jury is fundamental? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct; and rightly so, because that was one of the grievances pointed out a little earlier today that our forefathers listed in the Declaration of Independence. That was one grievance charged against the King, that in many cases persons had been denied trial by jury. That is written definitely into the Constitution. The right of trial by jury was included in several places in the Bill of Rights. The sixth amendment provides that a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That was because our forefathers were taking no chances on not having a jury trial assured to them under the Constitution. In the seventh amendment it is provided, also, and there is another provision, I believe, in the fifth amendment, that a man must be indicted by a grand jury before he is tried. Under the bill that came from the House a grand jury will not pass on the question at all. Under this so-called compromise, a man is taken before a judge and is tried. He is not even asked if he wants a trial by a jury. But in the usual procedure, when the Constitution is followed, a man has to be indicted by a grand jury. In my State 18 grand jurors have to agree to a true bill before a man can be brought up for trial. He has a trial before a petit jury. In Federal courts a man can be indicted by a grand jury or on information, but in State courts a man is indicted by a grand jury. But in all the history of judicial administration in this country it has been clear that the American people have been entitled to a jury trial, and it goes back even further than the Declaration of Independence. It goes back to the Magna Carta, when the citizens of England wrung from King John in the year 1215, at Runnymede, certain rights for the people. I presume you and I, Mr. President, would call them civil rights, more or less, or corresponding to our Bill of Rights. But the people wrung from King John certain rights, and one of those rights was that a man charged with a crime would be entitled to a jury trial. So, going back to the year 1215, on down to this time, our people have had a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield for a further question. Mr. LANGER. Is it the opinion of the Senator from South Carolina that of all the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights the very heart and very core of the 10 amendments is the right of the defendant to be tried by a jury? Mr. THURMOND. All the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights are important, but I think the trial-by-jury provision as generally spoken of is the heart of the Bill of Rights. That is the importance attached to it. It is generally spoken of as the heart of the Bill of Rights. In other words, if there should be cut out of the Bill of Rights the right of a trial by jury you have cut the heart of the Bill of Rights out; it would be excised. What is it to have freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of the press or right to petition the Government or the right to assemble, all of which are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, or to keep troops from being quartered in our homes, or all the other things guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, if some tyrant, whether a Federal district judge, or any other kind of tyrant, can take a man and himself try him without a jury and put him in prison; and, of course, if a man is in prison he cannot enjoy his civil rights? Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator. We have gotten down to the very core of this entire proposal. Mr. THURMOND. I thank the Senator very much. I appreciate his deep interest in this matter. The able and distinguished Senator from North Dakota has manifested an unusual interest in the right of trial by jury. He has the vision to see the importance of trial by jury and to see how this proposed bill the House has passed is attempting to bypass the Constitution and in doing so, of course, is violating the Constitution and therefore is a bill the Congress ought to kill. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield further? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield further to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I will be pleased to yield to the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. For 4 years I was attorney general of my State. Mr. THURMOND. I understand the Senator made a very distinguished record as attorney general of the State of North Dakota. Mr. LANGER. During that time, of course, I had a great deal to do with juries. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure the Senator did. Mr. LANGER. And in every single case I submitted to a court a jury trial had been waived. Mr. THURMOND. Every case the Senator tried I imagine was before a jury. Mr. LANGER. That is correct. I should like to ask the distinguished Senator from South Carolina whether in his experience in South Carolina it is true that the average defendant can get better justice from a jury than he can from a judge, no matter how honest and fair the judge may be? Mr. THURMOND. Regardless of how fair and impartial the judge is or wants to be, it is my judgment from my experience on the bench for 8 years—and as I said, for about half of that time I was in the Army during World War II.—and from my practice of law before then, since 1930 when I was admitted to the bar—and after I left the Governor’s office in January 1951, I practiced until I came to the Senate—I consider that juries give fair verdicts, and I think it would be destroying the administration of justice if we should take any step to hamper or injure or impair in any way the jury system of the United States. Mr. LANGER. Again I want to thank the Senator. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I read further: {{smaller block|But the Constitution ought not to be read casually. Viewed from the standpoint of State and Federal relations, what does the Constitution say and do? The rubrics do not demand, before an ordinary mortal may explore the question, that he be ordained a constitutional lawyer or put on the chasuble of the bench. Our Constitution is not the property of a juridical clergy only. The laity may read it too, and with equal acuity and understanding. The terms are not ambiguous. The first thing to note, perhaps, is that the words “State” or “States” appear no fewer than 94 times, either as proper nouns or pronominals, in the brief 6,000 words of the original 7 articles. The one theme that runs steadily through the whole of the instrument is the knitting together of States: It is a union that is being formed, and while the people are concerned for themselves and their posterity, the Constitution is to be established binding States. Legislative powers, to begin at the beginning, are vested not in one national parliament of the people, but in a Congress of the United States. The word “Congress” was chosen with precision; it repeated and confirmed the political relationship of the preceding 11 years, when there had been first a Continental Congress and then a Congress under the Articles of Confederation. This Congress is to consist of two Houses. The first is the House of Representatives, whose Members are to be chosen “by the people of the several States.” And here, in the very second paragraph, the framers encountered and opportunity to choose between a “national” and a “federal” characteristic: They might have established uniform national qualifications for the franchise, but they did not. Electors qualified to vote for candidates for the House of Representatives are to have “the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.” Representatives and direct taxes are to be apportioned—how? “Among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers.” How is this enumeration to be determined? The provision should be noted with care, for it is the first of four clauses that speaks eloquently of the plural nature of our Union: “The actual enumeration shall be made within 3 years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by law direct.” Now, the antecedent of they is not “Congress,” but “United States.” Nowhere in the whole of the Constitution or in any of the subsequent amendments is the United States an “it.” The singular never appears. What else sheds light in the second section of article I.? We find that “each State shall have at least one Representative,” whereupon follows a rollcall of the States themselves: “Until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse 3, Massachusetts 8,” and so forth. And when vacancies happen “in the representation from any State,” the Governor thereof is to issue a writ of election. The dignity and sovereignty of States are made still more evident in the composition of the Senate. It is to be composed “of two Senators from each State,” and whereas Representatives are required to be inhabitants of the States “in which” they shall be chosen, Senators must be inhabitants of the States “for which” they shall be chosen. It is in section 4 that the first grant of authority to the Federal Government appears: “The times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; but”—and here the qualified concession—“the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of chusing Senators.” The delegations of power to a federal government appear most fully, of course, in section 8, but it is worth noting that not all the powers delegated to Congress are exclusive and unqualified powers. Thus, the Congress may raise and support armies, “but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than 2 years.” Thus, the Congress may provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of the militia as may be employed in the service of the United States, but there is reserved “to the States respectively” the appointment of officers and the authority to train their militia according to regulation established by Congress. Thus, too, Congress may exercise Federal authority over federally owned property within the States, but how is such property to be acquired? The authority of the Congress extends only to those places “purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be,” and this applies not only to military and naval installations but also to “other needful buildings.” Several provisions in section 9 merit attention. As a concession to the slave trade—one of the essential compromises without which the Constitution never would have come into being at all—it was provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit,” shall not be prohibited prior to 1808. Then follow seven paragraphs of specific restrictions upon the powers of Congress. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended; no bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed; no direct tax shall be levied except according to the census of the people as a whole; no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported “from any State;” and—again emphasizing the separateness of the member States forming the Union—“no preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue of the ports of one State over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.” In section 10, the States undertook to restrict themselves. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; no State shall coin money or make anything but gold and silver legal tender; no State shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Yet even here, the prohibitions are not without qualification. Thus, the States reserved to themselves the right to levy tariffs on imports or exports sufficient to execute their inspection laws; and though the fact is often forgotten, the States even reserved to themselves the solemn power they had claimed under the Articles of Confederation, to “engage in war,” as States, if “actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Ellender}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. I am very curious. I ask the Senator from South Carolina whether he knows how the House of Representatives arrived at the decision to provide for a maximum of 45 days and $300 in this instance. Why did not the House of Representatives decide to make the maximum number of days 50, and why did it not choose, as the maximum amount of fine, $250 or $500? Mr. THURMOND. I should like to answer the question the distinguished Senator asked, but I cannot do so. I was not consulted about this compromise. All I know about it is that I heard the majority leader made an announcement, following the taking of action in the House of Representatives. And then I read about it in the newspaper. But I had understood—and the distinguished Senator from California [Mr. {{sc|Knowland}}] can correct me about this if I am mistaken—that there was an effort on the part of the Republicans to provide for 60 days. But, since the Senate had not voted for any provision of this sort, but had voted only for a straight jury-trial provision, 45 days was selected as a compromise. That is my understanding of the matter. I pass on to the Senator from North Dakota only what I heard. But perhaps the Senator from California can answer the question. At any rate, even if 60 days had been originally proposed, and finally 45 days was decided on, the Senate got the worst end of the bargain. However, even if the provision had been for only 1 day, in my opinion the principle would be the same, because under the Constitution a citizen is entitled to a jury trial; and the Congress has no power to pass a law providing that a Federal judge or any other judge can deprive a citizen of a jury trial. However, under this proposal, a judge would be able, in two ways, to deprive a citizen of a jury trial. In the first place, the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to allow the person to have a jury trial in the first instance. If the judge decided that there could be a jury trial, the citizen would have a jury trial. If the judge decided that there would not be a jury trial, the judge himself would try the case. Next, if the judge decided to try the case himself, without a jury, the judge would proceed to try it. If, at the conclusion of the case, the judge were to determine that the punishment he would mete would be more than 45 days imprisonment or a fine of more than $300, the judge would then give the citizen another trial. In other words, this provision of the compromise would give the judge the option of trying the citizen in the first place, and it would give the judge the option of deciding how much punishment he would mete, and then the amount of punishment imposed would determine whether the citizen would receive still another trial. All those exceptions are entirely foreign to the Constitution. The Constitution provides that a man charged with the commission of a crime is entitled to a jury trial. That provision is as plain as can be. Any child in the fifth grade in school can read it and understand it; and there should not be any difficulty in understanding it. However, as I have understood in arriving at the compromise an attempt was made to get together on some provision; and the result was a monstrosity. It turned out to be an unconstitutional provision, in my opinion. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield again? Mr. THURMOND. I am glad to yield. Mr. LANGER. What I should like to know is this: Is there any precedent, anywhere in the entire United States, for a measure such as this, by means of which a defendant could be tried by a judge, if the sentence imposed were imprisonment for not more than 45 days, or any other number of days, or the imposition of a fine of any size; but that if the term of imprisonment were longer or the amount of the fine were greater, there must be a jury trial? Can the Senator from South Carolina name any precedent at all for such a provision? Mr. THURMOND. I know of no place in the United States where a person charged with a crime does not have a jury trial. Even under the present criminal-contempt procedure, under existing law, if one is charged with criminal contempt, he is entitled to a jury trial. I know of no instance in any part of the United States, from Maine or the State of Washington on the north, to California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, or any of the other States in the southern part of the Nation, in which one who is charged with the commission of a crime does not have a trial by jury. It seems to me that in the conference, some one or more of the conferees should have raised the point, “This provision would be contrary to the Constitution, and we cannot include such a provision.” It seems to me some of the conferees would have suggested that the Constitution provides to the contrary. There is a decision which can be cited on that point; I think I have called it to the attention of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota. The decision in that case holds that criminal contempt is a crime; and, since it is a crime, one charged with criminal contempt is entitled to a jury trial. If there is to be passed a bill providing punishment for criminal contempt, it should provide for a jury trial. I know of no way to get around a jury trial in this matter because the Constitution has laid down the law. That is basic law. The Constitution can be amended. Congress can submit an amendment to it. There are four ways to amend the Constitution, and it can be amended so as to provide that a Federal judge in his discretion can give a man a jury trial. Then the compromise would be legal, and what it proposes would be effective. It would be. valid. As the Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] said today, confirming my judgment, as it stands now it is not valid. I think it is unconstitutional. The Senator from Wyoming expressed his opinion likewise. We could amend the Constitution to provide for it. Congress could pass a law to provide that a Federal judge could punish a man for contempt, by so many days’ imprisonment, or by a fine of so many dollars. We could do that, but it has not been done. Until the Constitution is amended in the manner provided in the Constitution itself, we must abide by it. I know that many people in this country would like to get around the Constitution, and it looks as if they have been doing so. The Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution in some cases, and other branches of the Government at times have encroached upon the Constitution because there is divisional power between the Federal Government and the State governments. When we cross the line of the State government, as here, without constitutional authority, we violate the Constitution. The States entered into this pact, the Constitution, about which we are talking so much, and in this pact they delegated to the Union only certain things, and they are just as plain as they can be. They are listed in the Constitution. I should like to read to the distinguished Senator what the Constitution says on that point. Article I., section 1, provides: {{smaller block|All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in the Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.}} I will not take the time to go through all that. I will skip to the pertinent portions. Section 7 of article I. provides: {{smaller block|All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills. Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve, he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration, two-thirds—}} I will skip to section 8. That is more pertinent. This is what the Congress has power to do. The powers are listed. {{smaller block|The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.

Will the Senator suspend to receive a message from the President of the United States? Mr. THURMOND. Certainly. '''Editor’s note'''.—''At this point in the ''Record'', the matter referenced by Presiding Officer, the “Message from the President,” is dealt with, as is the “Executive Message Referred” and a “Message from the House.” As these are not constituent portions of Mr. Thurmond’s speech, they are absent from this record. After these matters were completed, the ''Record'' continues with Mr. Thurmond’s consideration of the “Civil Rights Act of 1957.” This record begins again from that section.'' The Senate resumed the consideration of the amendments of the House of Representatives to Senate amendments Nos. 7 and 15 to the bill (H. R. 6127) to provide means of further securing and protecting the civil rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the United States. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will proceed. Mr. THURMOND. I continue to read from article I., section 2: {{smaller block|To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.}} Congress would not have the power to pass bankruptcy laws, indeed Congress could not pass a law on any subject except for the power given to it by the Constitution.

To establish post offices and post roads.}} That is your authority for the Federal Government to act in that field. {{smaller block|To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries. To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.}} That gives authority to Congress to establish certain courts of appeals and district courts. They are inferior tribunals, that is, inferior to the United States Supreme Court. {{smaller block|To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations.

We cannot appropriate money for the Defense Establishment for more than 2 years because the Constitution limits it. If we should attempt to do that, we would go beyond the Constitution. I think that is a suggestion which may apply to foreign aid. If we should commit ourselves for 5 years or 10 years, I think that would be unconstitutional. But some of the defense items are classified under the term “foreign aid.” {{smaller block|To provide and maintain a Navy; To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces; To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions. To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} I want to read that last part again. I wish to call attention to a point: {{smaller block|Reserving to the States respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.}} Do you not know, Mr. President, that if that section was not in the Constitution the Federal Government would be appointing the officers of the National Guard? That is the reason the Government cannot do it: the Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such district (not exceeding 10 miles square) as may, by cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;}} For that reason the Federal Government cannot go to Louisiana, North Dakota, South Carolina, or New Hampshire and buy a piece of land until the legislature passes an act approving such purchase. Under the provision the State must approve the transaction with respect to property within its borders, whether it owns the property or not, before the Federal Government can get it. Of course, the Government could condemn it; but if it followed the Constitution it would not be able to take it. The Constitution reserves that power to the States. {{smaller block|To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. {{sc|Sec.}} 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to year 1808, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding $10 for each person. The privilege of the writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.}} Regardless of what a State wishes to do, the United States Constitution provides that a writ of ''habeas corpus'' shall not be suspended unless—note the exception—“unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.” {{smaller block|No bill of attainder or ''ex post facto'' law shall be passed. No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.}} We have the income-tax amendment to the Constitution. The 16th amendment to the Constitution provides that Congress can levy an income tax. That is the only authority in the Federal Government to levy an income tax. It does not inherently have that authority. The Federal Government can do only what the States gave it the authority to do when they entered into the compact in Philadelphia in 1787, and the amendments which have been adopted since then. Two years later, in 1789, the States adopted the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights, for which there was so much sentiment. I do not believe the Constitution would have been ratified if the delegates to the convention had not promised the Bill of Rights would be submitted, and it was submitted and adopted 2 years after the convention, in 1789. {{smaller block|No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State. No preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the ports of one State over those of another; nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one State be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another. No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of the receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.}} That is the only reason the States do not impose duties on some articles; otherwise they would probably do it, but under the Constitution they cannot do it. {{smaller block|No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.}} In other words, if I were an ambassador in London and the Queen of England wished to confer on me a title or wished to give me extra compensation for some reason I could not take the title or compensation unless Congress permitted it. Congress would have to pass an act to permit it. {{smaller block|{{sc|Sec.}} 10. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ''ex post facto'' law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.}} In other words, that goes right down the line to support the point I make. So the Constitution provides exactly what the Federal Government can do. What hurts me is to see some distinguished Members of Congress, able men who believe in the division of powers between the Federal and State Governments—or I always thought they did—going along with the bill, because this is a bill that takes power away from the States and gives it to the Federal Government. The matter of elections is left up to each State. That power was not delegated. The qualifications for electors, the holding of elections, and all relevant matters were reserved to the States. There has been a movement, I understand to get the Congress to pass a bill eliminating the poll tax. I believe I told the Senate this morning, or this afternoon, that when I was Governor, I recommended that the poll tax be removed in my State and it was removed. But Congress may not pass a law to do it. It could do it, but it would be unconstitutional for the reason that there is a provision of the Constitution which states that the qualifications of electors shall be left to each State. Therefore, New Hampshire has qualifications and if the people of that State wish to make as a qualification for voting in that State the payment of a poll tax, they have a right to do so. The only way such a measure could be enacted legally, if it were going to be the law nationwide, would be for Congress to submit an amendment to the Constitution eliminating the poll tax. The Senator from Florida [Mr. {{sc|Holland}}] has now pending a proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate the poll tax, amending the Constitution. To do that would be legal; it would be constitutional, and it would be proper. Personally I think it is better to leave to each State the power to fix the qualifications for voting of its citizens. In my State, as I have said, we have very low qualifications. We have heard much about people in my State not voting. I believe more people vote in my State than vote in New York, because New York has a much higher standard for voting. That State requires, I believe someone said, a high-school education. Someone else said it requires a grade-school education. It is certainly one of the two. In my State we require only that a man be able to read and write the Constitution, or that he own $300 worth of assessed property. So our requirements for voting are not stringent. They are not nearly as strict as they are in New York. I do not know about the requirements in the State of the Senator from North Dakota. A few years ago I was Governor of South Carolina. At that time a bill was pending in Congress to remove the poll tax on a nationwide basis. Congress was to do it. It would have been just as unconstitutional as this so-called compromise, whose proponents are trying to get it through the Congress, to deprive the people of a jury trial. Mr. LANGER. I thank my distinguished friend. Mr. THURMOND. The Senator is welcome. Mr. President, I do not believe that American history is taught sufficiently in our high schools and colleges. I do not believe that a course in government is taught in our high schools and colleges. I come in contact with a great many intelligent people, people who have been educated, big financiers who have made a great deal of money, and many others; yet they do not know the fundamentals of the Constitution. It is because they have not studied it. I think the people of the country would be wise to study the Constitution. I think it is more important today than ever before for the people to study it and be able to delineate the powers of the Federal Government, and learn what the Federal Government has not the power to do. For example, the Congress has no power to abolish the poll tax as a prerequisite for voting, because the qualifications of voters are left to each State. There are a great many things which Congress cannot do. Yet pressure is brought on Members of Congress, and they vote for certain measures anyway, because of the pressure. Why do Senators think this so-called compromise on the civil rights bill is being pressed? Why is there any civil rights bill before us? Why call this measure a right-to-vote bill? It is a perfect farce. It is not a right-to-vote bill. As I have stated, every State in the Union has statutes providing for the right to vote. The Federal Government has statutes providing for the right to vote. Why is such a bill as this being considered at this time? Because there are pressures on Members of Congress to do so. Some Members of Congress attempted to do so, even though they were doubtful of the constitutionality of the measure. The Senator from Wyoming [Mr. {{sc|O’Mahoney}}] stated earlier in the day that he did not think the jury trial amendment which was put in the compromise bill in the House was constitutional. He said he would offer an amendment in January to correct it. I would rather see him vote against it now. If the bill should pass anyway, he could later offer his amendment. But if a bill is unconstitutional, I think it is better for us not to vote for it. I think Members of Congress must develop stamina, fortitude, and courage to resist pressures, and to stand by the Constitution. If we do not do so, as I stated earlier in the day, we shall keep whittling away the rights of the States until, after a while, the States will not have any rights. There will be a powerful Central Government—and it will be a powerful monster, too. Everything will radiate from Washington. I understand there is a movement on foot to establish a national police system. It is desired to convert the FBI, which is purely an investigative agency, into a law-enforcement agency. It is not a law-enforcement agency. Congress would not have the right to establish a national police agency, because under the Constitution the police power is reserved to the States. However, this investigative agency, the FBI, is in a different situation. It does not do police work. It apprehends criminals and works with the States, and cooperates in the execution of Federal laws, apprehending violators and bringing them to trial. But it is not a police agency. I am glad that Mr. J. Edgar Hoover said that he was opposed to a national police system. I am sorry to see that the President has been recommending a bill to provide Federal aid to education by way of construction of school buildings. I have been amazed at the fact that so many people are not acquainted with the fact that in the entire Federal Constitution there is not a sentence which contains the word “education.” The word “education” is not to be found in the United States Constitution. Therefore, since the States did not delegate the field of education to the Federal Government, the Federal Government has no jurisdiction in that field, unless we amend the Constitution and give the Federal Government jurisdiction in the field of education. We can amend the Constitution. We can follow one of the four methods of amending the Constitution, and give the Federal Government authority in that field, if that is the wise thing to do, which I do not think it is. However, that is the way it must be done. We have no authority to appropriate money for Federal aid to education. I know that the President’s intentions are good. However, at Columbia University several years ago he was against Federal aid to education. At any rate, it would be a great mistake for the Federal Government to enter the field of education. After we begin giving money for Federal aid to education by way of construction, the next demand from the powerful National Education Association, which I understand is building a tremendous office building in Washington, will be for a supplement to the salaries of teachers. The National Education Association will bring pressure on Members of Congress, as do other pressure organizations, and will say, “We need supplements to teachers’ salaries.” When we enact legislation for Federal aid to construct the buildings, and to provide supplements to teachers’ salaries, the Federal Government will be asked to pay a larger share of such salaries, and there will be more and more control to go with it. Before we know it, there will be Federal control of education, and the parents of the Nation will find their children studying books selected in Washington, instead of by the people in Delaware, North Dakota, and South Carolina. It is a great mistake for us not to follow the Constitution. If the Constitution needs amending, we can amend it. There is a provision for amending it, and it should be amended from time to time. There have been 22 amendments since it was adopted. In 1789 the first 10 amendments were adopted. Since then, 12 other amendments have been adopted. There are now 22 amendments to the Constitution. We were talking about the 16th amendment awhile ago, the income-tax amendment. I think most people feel that it is necessary, although the income tax appears high. Therefore there had to be a way to bring it about. Congress could not pass an income-tax law. It had no authority to do so until the Constitution had been amended to give Congress the power to do it. I think it is important to understand what we mean by the division of powers between the Federal Government and the State governments. We have a compound Republic. It is a compound Republic because there are Federal powers and State powers. There are three branches in the Federal Government, each of which checks on the others, with the exception of the Supreme Court. It has practically no check on it, and it has gone wild. There are three branches in the State governments. Each is supposed to be a check on the others. There are two checks on the Supreme Court. In the first place, we can impeach Supreme Court justices. However, the House must do the impeaching, and the Senate sits as a jury to hear the case. So, there is not much the Senate can do from that standpoint. The other one is that, under the Constitution, the appellate power of the Supreme Court can be controlled by the Congress, so that if Congress saw fit to pass a bill to limit the {{SIC|appelate|appellate}} power of the Supreme Court, Congress would have that right. The Constitution gives it the power to do that. Many persons think we have to amend the Constitution before we can do that. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Would the Senator say that would be a form of cruel and inhuman punishment to impose upon his colleagues? Mr. THURMOND. I would say it is cruel and inhuman punishment to impose on the citizens of America if we pass a bill without providing for a jury trial. (Manifestations of applause in the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The galleries will be in order. Mr. THURMOND. I have received letters from a number of States, and I have been in California. I spent a week there in the fall of 1953. Starting at Long Beach and ending up at San Francisco, I made addresses all the way up the coast. I even went to Bakersfield and saw an old friend of the Senator from California there. I talked with many persons there. Unless they have had a change in sentiment, they think, just as the people of South Carolina do, that there should be jury trials. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does not the distinguished Senator also think that the people of California are interested in the 15th amendment to the Constitution, assuring all American citizens the right to vote? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that the people of California are, and I am sure the people of South Carolina are. The people of South Carolina have done something about it, just as have the people of California. Last night, when the distinguished Senator from California was resting comfortably, I was speaking here and trying to rouse the people of America concerning the dangers of taking away their right of trial by jury. I placed in the {{sc|Record}} the statutes of California on that subject, and here is what they provide: {{smaller block|“California: Unless otherwise designated, references are to Elections Code Annotated—West’s—1955: “Hindering public meeting: Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by threats, intimidation, or unlawful violence, willfully hinders of prevents electors from assembling in public meetings for consideration of public questions (sec. 5004). “Intimidating voter: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor, who, directly or indirectly, uses, or threatens to use, force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts, or threatens to inflict, any injury, damage, harm, or loss, or other forms of intimidation, to compel a person to vote, or refrain from voting, at any election (sec 1158). “Interference with free exercise of elective franchise: Every person or corporation is guilty of a misdemeanor who, by abduction, duress, or any forcible or fraudulent means, impedes or prevents the free exercise of the elective franchise by any voter, or who compels or induces a voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or to vote or refrain from voting for a particular person (sec. 11582). “Election officers: Any election officer who induces, or attempts to induce, any voter, either by menace or reward, to vote differently from the way he intended to vote, is guilty of a felony. (sec. 11583). “Threat by employer: Any employer, whether a corporation or natural person, is guilty of a misdemeanor, if he encloses material in the pay envelopes containing threats, express or implied, intended to influence political opinions or action of employees, or who, within 90 days before an election, exhibits any placard, etc., in the place of employment, containing such threats (secs. 11584, 11585). “Penalty: Any corporation guilty of intimidating a voter shall forfeit its charter (sec. 11586). “Misdemeanor: Unless a different penalty is prescribed, a misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or by fine of not over $500, or by both (Penal Code, sec. 19). “Scope of penalty provisions: All penalty provisions listed above apply to both final elections and primary elections (sec. 11500).”}} Those are statutes of the State of California, and they are good statutes. Mr. KNOWLAND. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a further question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. KNOWLAND. Does the Senator not recognize the fact that under the voting rights bill which the Senate is attempting to pass but which the Senator from South Carolina has, for the moment, successfully prevented the Senate from passing, there is not a single individual who can be cited for either civil or criminal contempt if another American citizen is deprived of his right to vote under the Constitution? So, if the Senator is correct in his statement that no person is deprived of his right to vote in his State—and I feel certain that no American citizen is denied the right to vote in my State—neither California nor South Carolina would cite any public official or other person criminally unless they were depriving people of their right to vote under the laws of the State. Mr. THURMOND. I think some part of the Union could nullify the Constitution, just as I think some juries turn loose some defendants who are guilty. Some judges will make mistakes, too. But why do we not let the States alone and let them handle their own problems? I know the southern people and I know they are doing all they can for the Negro. I see my friend the Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting next to the Senator from California. He feels that his State is doing all it can. I know the State of Mississippi, from which come my good friends, Senator {{sc|Eastland}} and Senator {{sc|Stennis}}, is doing all it can. We cannot change customs overnight. We have to let the local people work these things out. But Congress did not care to let the local people work these things out. All that is necessary is to have enforcement of the Federal statute. There is a Federal statute, to which I called attention today. For the benefit of Senators who were not here at the time, I may say that this statute provides that whoever intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any person, for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote, or to vote as he may choose, is guilty of a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine or by imprisonment of 1 year. Mr. COOPER. Will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator know that there has never been any question, since the War Between the States, about the Negro population in Kentucky having the right to vote, and exercising that right? Mr. THURMOND. I have never heard any question about it. I simply say that in my State the Negroes are voting in large numbers. They claimed the credit for carrying the election for Stevenson in 1952, and at that time there was a very close election. They claimed they cast more than 80,000 votes, which was about 25 percent of the total. Their own newspaper contained that information. I have a clipping from that newspaper, the Lighthouse and Informer. So they are certainly voting in my State, and I am sure they are voting in the Senator’s State. Is it not better to let the local people work out these problems, rather than to rush things on them, and try to change their customs overnight? As a matter of fact, if you gentlemen want to take any action, however, if the proponents of this bill are not satisfied—I do not think the distinguished Senator is dissatisfied—with the enforcement by the governors of the States of the Nation—and the governors are the chief executive officers of the States and are responsible for enforcing the law—or if the Federal Government is not satisfied with the enforcement being given by the governors to the voting laws of the States to protect the rights of people to vote, then why do they not enforce the Federal statute, which is already on the books? Mr. COOPER. Because of the Senator’s kind reference, I should like to ask a question as follows: Does the Senator know that in Kentucky all citizens, including all Negroes, have had, since the War Between the States, the right to vote, have exercised that right, and that it has never been questioned? Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that is the case, because I have heard that they vote there. They are voting in the South in larger numbers than ever before. No persons in my State are deprived of the right to vote. If they are qualified to vote, they are allowed to vote. Of course, no man who is not qualified ought to be allowed to vote. New York State has a much higher standard, as I said a while ago, than we have. If a person can merely read or write in my State, he can vote. In New York one has to be a high-school graduate, I believe, or at least has to meet a literacy test. So we are not nearly so strict in South Carolina as they are in New York. The Senator comes from a border State. Kentucky is a great State. I suggest to the Senator, however, since he is from a border State that went in part with the North and in part with the South, that the Senator stick with the South. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, I will ask the Senator if it is not true that Kentucky had to make that choice almost a hundred years ago and they chose to stick with the Union? Mr. THURMOD. Mr. President, if there is any Member in the Senate who is not satisfied with the voting protection given by the governors and the other officials of the States of the Nation, again I say that all they have to do is to call upon the Justice Department to enforce section 594. It is now against the Federal law to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or to attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any voter, in any way, shape, or form. That is the Federal statute which is on the books now. Why not enforce that statute? What is the idea of coming here with a right-to-vote bill? That is a big, high-sounding word that does not mean anything. If we pass this bill, we will pass an unconstitutional bill. It will be all right if the Justice Department will enforce section 594. I believe they are enforcing it. Is there anyone that thinks they are not enforcing this law? Is there anyone who thinks the present administration is not enforcing section 594? If the Justice Department are enforcing this law, they are protecting people in this matter now. If they are not enforcing this law, let them enforce it, and that will protect them. Either the Justice Department are not enforcing this law, if they have had complaints, or they have not had any complaints. Has the Justice Department had complaints, such as we have been hearing about, that many people have been denied the right to vote? We hear that in the South many people are denied the right to vote. What is there now; what has there been in the past 5 years to keep the Attorney General from going to any Southern State to enforce this statute? It is a Federal statute. The Attorney General not only has the right to enforce it, but he has the duty. If there have been any complaints about people in the South not voting, I have not heard of them. But if there have been any complaints about them not voting, then the Justice Department ought to do something about it. If the Justice Department has taken no action to enforce this statute, it shows one of two things: The Department has not had anybody objecting, or, if there were objections, it ignored them and did not do its duty by enforcing the statute. The point is there is a Federal statute now, so why pass another bill? All the Congress needs to do is to follow the Constitution. If we will follow the line of demarcation in the Constitution between the powers delegated to the Federal Government and the powers reserved to the States, we will not get into difficulties about all these different things. If a bill were introduced to repeal the poll tax as a prerequisite to voting, there would not be any question but that the Congress would not consider it because it would be unconstitutional. The qualifications of voting are reserved to the States. Why can we not look at it from that viewpoint and not try to say whether it is a good bill or a bad bill? On the right to vote bill, should there be any question whether we are going to accept this compromise? I do not think there should be any question at all, because the Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The court decision which I have before me holds that criminal contempt is a crime. Mr. President— The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). The Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I will proceed now, if there are no further questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina has the floor. Mr. THURMOND. Article III., defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I will yield to the able Senator for a question. Mr. LANGER. Is it correct that under Federal statute 594 there can be imposed a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail? Mr. THURMOND. That is correct. Mr. LANGER. The compromise right to vote bill cuts it down to a fine of $300 and 45 days in jail. If the judge determines that the defendant ought to suffer a greater penalty than that, the case has to go to a jury. Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the Senator, I will say if this bill is passed, of course I am expecting it to be held unconstitutional as soon as it can be tested. But until that is done, they will have a choice. There could be a prosecution under the Federal statute, which is section 594: or such a person could be taken before a Federal judge, and the Federal judge could decide whether he wanted to try the case. If the judge decided he was in a hurry to take a vacation trip, he could simply say, “I will try the case myself.” Then, under the provisions of the compromise measure, the judge would try the case; and the person being tried could not complain. Let me ask the Senator from North Dakota what he would do. Suppose he were to find himself in such a situation; and suppose the judge were to say to him, “Mr. {{sc|Langer}}, I will not give you a jury trial. I will try you myself”—and then the judge would rear back on his haunches and would grin. What would the Senator from North Dakota do under those circumstances? There would be nothing he could do, because the judge would have a right to try him under the provisions of the compromise measure which has come to us from the House of Representatives. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. {{sc|Frear}} in the chair). Does the Senator from South Carolina yield to the Senator from North Dakota? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Inasmuch as section 594 is on the statute books, why is not this right-to-vote bill entirely superfluous? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, the Senator from North Dakota has put his finger on exactly what I have been discussing in the Senate for—let me see, Mr. President, how long has it been? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Twenty-one hours. Mr. THURMOND. No; Mr. President, it has been 22 hours and 10 minutes. [Laughter.] For 22 hours and 10 minutes I have been trying to emphasize that point—namely, why is this compromise necessary, when a Federal statute on this subject is already on the statute books? It provides for a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment of 1 year in jail. If the Department of Justice is interested in the persons who are alleged to have been deprived of the right to vote—regardless of whether they are whites, Negroes, or others—why does not the Department of Justice take action to enforce section 594 and thus protect the right to vote? The Department of Justice can do that under section 594. That is up to the Department of Justice. I do not know what the Department will do; that is up to the Department of Justice. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. During the last 5 years, has anyone been arrested under section 594? Mr. THURMOND. In reply to the question of the distinguished Senator from North Dakota, I wish to say that I have never heard that anyone in my State has been tried under that statute. So there is no use in having the representatives of the Department of Justice come to South Carolina and say that people there are deprived of the right to vote, because if anyone representing the Department of Justice does come to South Carolina and does make such a statement, I will tell him that it is his own fault, for those in the Department of Justice have failed to do their duty; they have a law under which they can punish such persons, but they have not done so. Either no one in South Carolina is deprived of the right to vote, or else the Department of Justice has failed to do its duty. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. I get the point very clearly. Mr. THURMOND. Let me ask whether there are any more questions. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Does the Senator from South Carolina yield the floor? Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I shall proceed. I am just trying to find a section of the Constitution to which I wish to refer. Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, while the Senator from South Carolina is doing that, will he yield for another question? Mr. THURMOND. I shall be pleased to yield for a question. Mr. LANGER. Can the Senator from South Carolina tell the Senate how many years ago section 594 was enacted into law? Mr. THURMOND. I believe it was in 1939. Mr. LANGER. Do I correctly understand that since that time, there has been no prosecution under that provision of law? Is that true, so far as the Senator from South Carolina knows? Mr. THURMOND. I have not heard of a single prosecution in South Carolina under that statute. Mr. LANGER. Has the Senator heard of one in any other State? Mr. THURMOND. If there has been one, I have not heard of it. I would not say there has not been one in some other State, but I do not know of a case of that sort which has been tried in the Federal courts. Some have been tried in the State courts; we are enforcing our State laws. But I have not heard of a case in which anyone has been tried under this Federal statute—which carries with it a heavy penalty, namely, a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment in jail for 1 year. I have never heard of anyone who has been tried under that law. But, Mr. President, of course I am not surprised at that, because in South Carolina, everyone who wishes to register to vote and to vote, does register and does vote, if he is qualified. So I do not think it likely that there would be any cases of that sort in South Carolina. Mr. President, there have been insinuations to the effect that the Southern States are denying some people the right to vote. I think insinuations about any States should stop—whether that be Northern States, Southern States, Eastern States, or Western States. All of us are Americans. We have a great country. In all the wars the United States has ever fought, the United States has had brave soldiers from all sections of the country. It is very bad to have people in one section of the country try to snipe at people in another section of the country. That is the very thing George Washington warned against in his Farewell Address. Mr. LANGER. Yes, I am familiar with that admonition by George Washington. Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, if anyone in the South has been intimidated or coerced or threatened with regard to voting—if anyone in any Southern State has been treated in that way—the district attorney in the State can take action any day he wishes to; and if the Department of Justice does not do it, the Department is failing to perform its duty with respect to such violations; or else there are no violations of that sort. So evidently there have not been any violations of that sort in the State of South Carolina, or else no one has complained about them. As a matter of fact, I am quite sure that there have not been any violations of that sort in my State, because, as I have said, anyone in South Carolina who wishes to vote, and who is qualified to vote, and who registers, can vote. Mr. President, I should like to read what George Washington said. Sometimes, Mr. President, when I see the able Senator from Kentucky [Mr. {{sc|Cooper}}] sitting in his seat in this Chamber—so able a judge and lawyer, and a fine soldier in World War II.; and when I see in the Chamber the distinguished senior Senator from Michigan [Mr. {{sc|Potter}}], who lost both of his legs in that war; and when I see my other fellow veterans who are distinguished Members of this body or are distinguished Members of the House of Representatives, and then when I see matters of a sectional nature brought up here, and when one group wishes to try to have enacted into law a measure aimed at punishing another section of the country, it makes my heart ache. My colleagues who are veterans did not feel that way when they were serving in the Armed Forces overseas; they did not feel that way when they were in uniform. If the Members of Congress from various sections of the United States would just accord to all the other States the same respect that they expect to have accorded to their own States I am sure that we would not be having this trouble; and then I would not have been speaking here on this subject for more than 22 hours in an effort to arouse the American people. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For 22 hours and 10 minutes. Mr. THURMOND. No, Mr. President, for 22 hours and 20 minutes. [Laughter.] I would not be trying to arouse the American people if it were not necessary. But why should the North want to pick on those of us who live in the South? Why do the people in New York want to pick on us? Why do the people in New Jersey want to pick on us? Or why do the people of any other section of the country want to pick on us? We think we are fairly good people. We think we are patriotic. The Members of Congress from the Southern States want to work together with all the other Members of Congress. Mr. President, I want to extend every courtesy to every other Member of Congress, and I want to see those who live in any particular section of the country extend to the rest of the people of the country the same courtesy that they expect to have extended to themselves. But, Mr. President, I can tell you this: This right-to-vote bill—and I say this because I know something about its history—is aimed at the South. It is aimed at the South; and it hurts me to see that done, because South Carolina is not guilty, and this bill should not be enacted. I do not believe the other Southern States are guilty. The Southern States have done their part in every way. As I have said, the people of the Southern States have fought for their country and have served in public office in every way. They have been honorable people. Yet, in order to try to win the votes of certain minority blocs, some pressure groups are willing to punish us, to put us under the heel, and to grind and grind and grind us. I am getting tired of it. (Manifestations of applause by the occupants of the galleries.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The doorkeepers must keep the galleries in order. Mr. COOPER. Mr. President, will the Senator yield? Mr. THURMOND. I yield. Mr. COOPER. A minute ago the Senator spoke very generously of our association and friendship during World War II. I know that he did not mean to intimate that there was any intention upon the part of the Senator from Kentucky, in his vote on the civil-rights bill, to show any bias or prejudice toward his own people in the South. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure that there was not, Senator. Mr. COOPER. Does the Senator remember? Mr. THURMOND. I remember, and I say to the Senator from Kentucky he is one of the finest and most gracious gentlemen I have known. The Senator from Kentucky is not one of those ardent proponents of the bill who is trying to ram the bill home. I do not know how he is going to vote, but he is a good constitutional lawyer. I hope he will not vote for it. I hope he will think over the jury trial issue and not vote for it. He has not been one of those who has been baiting the South. Mr. COOPER. The Senator from Kentucky is a good friend of the Senator from South Carolina, but the Senator from Kentucky will vote for civil rights. He intends to vote for the bill this evening or at some later time. In the debate he said again and again that he believes in the juries in the South, and that the people of the South would respect the law and would follow the law. I am sure the Senator from South Carolina knows that the Senator from Kentucky said that. Mr. THURMOND. I am sure he did say that. The only thing is that if the Senator feels that the South obeys the law, I do not understand why he should want to have this bill passed. I will get on with what George Washington said. Mr. President, George Washington, in his Farewell Address, used his strongest language against those who would divide our country; he urged a unity of spirit. He said: {{smaller block|In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—northern and southern—Atlantic and western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations: they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.}} That was George Washington speaking. George Washington wanted to see the people from the North to the South, and to the East and the West, bound together with a fraternal feeling. He wanted a fraternal attitude manifested. Why should we not manifest a fraternal attitude on these matters? Why should we not try to help another section, and not sponsor legislation which is aimed at any particular section, merely to try to get votes to win an election? I have said, and I repeat, that since every State in the United States from Alabama to Wyoming has laws on its books to protect the right to vote, and since the Federal Government has a statute on its books to protect the right to vote, there is no need for this bill. I say, and I repeat, that I think the bill is purely political, and I think that both parties have been trying to grab the ball to see who could get the spotlight for the elections coming up in 1958. {{smaller block|Article III, defining the judicial power of the United States, contains several provisions of interest in this review. We may note, for example, two further uses of the plural: First, the judicial power is to extend “to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.” Second, treason against the United States is to consist “only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies.” Because the authority of the Court will be considered at length in a later chapter, it will suffice here merely to point out that nowhere in article III is the Court given jurisdiction over controversies between a State and the United States. That proposal was specifically advanced during the convention, and specifically rejected. Every section—indeed, every paragraph—of article IV touches upon the Federal nature of the Union. Full faith and credit are to be given in each State, to the acts and judicial proceedings of every other State. If this were not a Federal Union, the provision would be nonsense. Beyond this, the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. A person charged in any State with crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another State, shall be delivered upon demand to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime. Then comes the provision that Northern States were to flout over a period of 30 years: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered upon claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.” Finally, we may note in article IV the provision for admitting new States into this Union (not this Nation, but this Union): “No new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the junction of two or more States, or parts of States, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.” Article V had best be quoted in full. It has not been changed by so much as an apostrophe in the years since it came from Philadelphia in September of 1787. It still fixes and defines the sovereign power: Pause for a moment over this article of the Constitution. We are dealing here with Taylor’s “will to enact” and “power to execute;” we are dealing with Marshall’s “power to make and unmake.” It was plainly envisioned by the framers that their work would require amendment through the years. “That useful alterations will be suggested by experience, could not but be foreseen,” Madison was to write. There was a double aim in the provision, even a triple aim. {{SIC|Aricle|Article}} V, Madison tells us, was intended, first, to guard equally against too-easy amendment on the one hand and too-difficult amendment on the other. It was drafted, secondly, to permit amendments to originate both with the Federal and with the State Governments. But it was intended, finally, to leave the ultimate decision upon changing the Constitution to the sovereign States themselves—not to the people as a mass, nor even to a bare majority of the States as such. It was recognized that the great, overriding principle of protection for minorities should apply here as bindingly as it was to apply elsewhere. If one-fourth of the States plus one should object to a change in the Constitution—even if that change were desired by three-fourths minus one (and even if this larger fraction should include the great bulk of the total population)—the change could not be engrafted to the Constitution. Article VI is brief. Its first provision covers debts and engagements entered into under the Articles of Confederation and continues these obligations under the proposed new Constitution; its third provision prohibits any religious test as a qualification for public office and requires an oath to support the Constitution of all public officers, both State and Federal. It is the second provision that merits brief attention in this summary review: “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” Let us go back: What is to be supreme? Three things. First, “this Constitution.” Secondly, “laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof.” Third, treaties made “under the authority of the United States.” That is all. Not Executive orders of the President. Not even judgments of the Supreme Court. The Constitution, the laws made in pursuance thereof, the treaties. In passing, note the phrase “law of the land.” It stems originally from the Magna Carta; but as it appears in the Constitution, “law of the land” was merely a substitution, proposed by the committee on style, for “law of the several States and their citizens and inhabitants.” The object was to extend this new supreme law to Territories as well as to the States. And this phrase, “law of the land,” is as close as the Constitution ever comes to suggesting a “nation.” Actually the word “nation” or the word “national” never appears in the Constitution. The aim, we will recall, was to form “a more perfect Union.” Representatives and taxes were to be apportioned among the several States which may be included “within this Union.” The militia may be called forth to execute “the laws of the Union.” The President is to provide Congress with information on the “state of the Union.” New States are to be admitted “into this Union.” The guaranty of a republican form of government goes “to every State in this Union.” But never, at any point, are the United States described, in the Constitution, as comprising a “nation.” This is not to contend, of course, that ours is not a Nation, or that the Federal Government does not operate nationally. It is only to suggest that the deliberate terms of the Constitution speak for themselves, and should be heeded: Our country is, first and foremost, originally and still, a Union of States. And when we speak of the law of the land, it should be kept steadily in mind that the land is a Federal Union, in which each of the States stands coequal with every other State. The Constitution is supreme not only in its authority over each State, but also in its protection over each State. And each State, each respective State, is entitled to rely upon the Constitution as embodying supreme law that all other States must adhere to with equal fidelity, like it or not, until the Constitution be changed by the States themselves. Note, too, the careful qualification that defines laws enacted by the Congress. Just any laws of the United States are not enough: Laws, to be binding, must be laws made in pursuance of the Constitution. Any attempted statutes that invade the residuary authority of the States, Hamilton tells us, “will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” And he adds, at another point, that: “There is no position which depends on clearer principles than that every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.” Surely, it may be urged that precisely the same standard must be applied to other branches of the Federal Government—the executive and judicial no less than the legislative. By extension, thus, judgments of the Court, to be supreme law of the land, must be made pursuant to the Constitution. A judgment of the Court, so violative of the clear terms and understandings of the Constitution as to invade the residuary authority of the States, must also be regarded as a usurpation, and should deserve to be treated as such. The argument will be pursued at greater length hereafter. Finally, this brief examination of the Constitution from the standpoint of the States may be concluded with a second look at article VII. It should be read carefully; for this is the clause that binds: “The ratification of the conventions of 9 States”—not, again, the approval of a majority of the people in a popular referendum, but the ratification of 9 States—“shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the same.” Thus, on September 17, the Convention concluded its work. George Washington, as President of the Convention, transmitted the document to the Congress. A prophetic sentence appeared in his letter, as he mentioned the compromises necessary for the surrender of sovereign powers: “It is at all times difficult to draw with precision the line between those rights which must be surrendered, and those which may be reserved.” The States had done the best they could through their delegates. Eager to consolidate their Union, each State had been disposed “to be less rigid on points of inferior magnitude than might have been otherwise expected.” They launched the ship. “Well, Doctor,” said the lady to Mr. Franklin, “what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”}} It is pretty hard to keep when bills are introduced to violate the Constitution by chipping off and whittling away the rights of the States in an effort, it seems, to reduce them to colonial status. Continuing the quotation from the Kilpatrick book: {{smaller block|{{c|{{asc|6. THE PROPHETIC MR. HENRY}}}} For the States’ understanding of what the Constitution was to mean to them, as States, we can look not only to the internal evidence of the Constitution itself, but to the debates in the ratifying conventions and to some of the contemporary criticism, notably in the Federalist papers. We can look, also, to some of the pronouncements of the Supreme Court from time to time, and to the writings of scholars of our own day. The evidence is overwhelming. By written compact, solemnly ratified, the States agreed mutually to delegate certain of their sovereign powers to a Federal Government. They enumerated these powers. All other powers they reserved to themselves, and these reserved powers did not need to be enumerated: the reserved powers constituted an inherent powers of sovereign States not specifically abridged. So plain was this understanding that the feeling most frequently encountered, in reading comments of the period, is one of incredulity that anyone should doubt it. “The proposed constitution,” said Hamilton, “so far from implying an abolition of the State governments, makes them constituent parts of the national sovereignty by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of sovereign power.” So, too, said Madison: “It is to be remembered that the General Government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its {{SIC|jursidiction|jurisdiction}} is limited to certain enumerated objects which concern all the members of the Republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any. The subordinate governments, which can extend their care to all other objects which can be separately provided for, will retain their due authority and activity.” Neither Hamilton nor Madison could quite imagine the Federal Government ever seriously encroaching upon the States. “Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power which any reasonable man can require,” said Hamilton, “I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons intrusted with the administration of the General Government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation, and war seem to comprehend all the objects which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to those objects ought, in the first instance, to be lodged in the national depository.” Then he added, with a singular absence of prophecy: “The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things, in short, which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected. * * * “It will always be far more easy for the State governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the National Government to encroach upon the State authorities.”}} That is where he was wrong. In other words, Hamilton had no idea that the Federal Government would ever attempt to encroach on the rights of the states. In his day it looked to him as if it would be easier for the States to encroach on the rights of the Federal Government than for the Federal Government to encroach on the rights of the States. But in recent years do-gooders, welfare-staters, left-wingers, and other pressure groups are trying to transform this Government. They are trying to make of it a national government. It is not a national government; it is a Federal Government. The States came together in a federation and formed this Government. That is the conception which I hope we can get over to the people of the Nation, that our Government is not a national government; it is a Federal Government made by the States coming together and forming a federation and signing the compact which became the Constitution. Therefore we have a Federal Government, not a national government. I hope we shall never have a national government. We must stop the Federal usurpation that is now going on and has been going on for some years. {{smaller block|Madison, also, imagined that the Federal Government would “be disinclined to invade the rights of the individual States, or the prerogatives of their governments.” For his part, Hamilton thought it more probable that the States would encroach upon the Federal Government, and he imagined that in such contests the State governments, because they “will commonly possess most influence” over the people, would dominate Federal agencies “to the disadvantage of the Union.” However, all such conjectures Hamilton viewed as “extremely vague and fallible.” He preferred to assume that the people “will always take care to preserve the constitutional equilibrium between the general and the State governments.” In No. 45, Madison treated at considerable length the widespread apprehension that the States would be obliterated. Some of his comments have been outdated; what he has to say about the election of Senators, for example, unhappily has been superseded by the misfortune of the 17th amendment. Some of his other observations, dealing with functions of what was to become the Bureau of Internal Revenue, may occasion some wary reflection on the lengths by which even a Madison could miss his guess. But as contemporary evidence of the role guaranteed to the States, No. 45 justifies quotation at some length: “The State governments will have the advantage of the Federal Government, whet her we compare them in respect to the immediate dependence of the one on the other; to the weight of personal influence which each side will possess; to the powers respectively vested in them to the predilection and probable support of the people; to the disposition and faculty of resisting and frustrating the measures of each other. “The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the Federal Government; whilst the latter is nowise essential to the operation or organization of the former. Without the intervention of the State legislatures, the President of the United States cannot be elected at all. They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. Even the House of Representatives, though drawn immediately from the people, will be chosen very much under the influence of that class of men, whose influence over the people obtains for themselves an election into the State legislatures. Thus, each of the principal branches of the Federal Government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing toward them. On the other side, the component parts of the State governments will in no instance be indebted for their appointment to the direct agency of the Federal Government, and very little, if at all, to the local influence of its members. “The number of individuals employed under the Constitution of the United States will be much smaller than the number employed under the particular States. There will consequently be less of personal influence on the side or the former than of the latter. The members of the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments of 13 and more States, the justices of peace, officers of militia, ministerial officers of justice, with all the county, corporation, and town officers, for 3 millions and more of people, intermixed, and having particular acquaintance with every class and circle of people, must exceed, beyond all proportion, both in number and influence, those of every description who will be employed in the administration of the Federal system. Compare the members of the three great departments of the 13 States, excluding from the judiciary department the justices of peace, with the members of the corresponding departments of the single government of the Union; compare the militia officers of 3 millions of people with the military and marine officers of any establishment which is within the compass of probability, or, I may add, of possibility, and in this view alone, we may pronounce the advantage of the States to be decisive. “If the Federal Government is to have collectors of revenue, the State governments will have theirs also. And as those of the former will be principally on the seacoast, and not very numerous, whilst those of the latter will be spread over the face of the country, and will be very numerous, the advantage in this view also lies on the same side. It is true, that the confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union·, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. * * * “The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the Federal Government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. “The operations of the Federal Government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the State governments in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the State governments will here enjoy another advantage over the Federal Government. The more adequate, indeed, the Federal powers may be rendered to the national defense, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favor their ascendancy over the governments of the particular States. “If the new Constitution be examined with accuracy and candor, it will be found that the change which it proposes consists much less in the addition of new powers to the union, than in the invigoration of its original powers. The regulation of commerce, it is true, is a new power; but that seems to be an addition which few oppose, and from which no apprehensions are entertained. The powers relating to war and peace, armies and fleets, treaties and finance, with the other more considerable powers, are all vested in the existing Congress by the Articles of Confederation. The proposed change does not enlarge these powers; it only substitutes a more effectual mode of administering them.” Even John Marshall, who did more than any man in our history to aggrandize the Federal Government and to weaken the States, never doubted the basic structure of divided powers. Consider, briefly, his comment in the famed case of ''McCulloch'' v. ''Maryland''. The case arose when Congress established the Bank of the United States, and Maryland undertook to levy a tax upon the bank’s Baltimore branch; James McCulloch, the cashier, refused to pay the tax, and Maryland sued. The legal questions were two: Did Congress have power to incorporate the bank, and secondly, did Maryland have power to tax it? Marshall answered the first one “Yes,” the second, “No.” With the bulk of his reasoning, strict constructionists and apostles of States rights will disagree: Marshall’s sophisticated mind did not boggle at stretching “necessary” to mean “convenient.” In considering the actual act of ratification by which the Union was formed, Marshall was not much impressed by the fact, which he could not escape, that the people met in State conventions. “Where else should they have assembled?” he asked. But even here, a couple of sentences merit quotation as evidence from the States greatest detractor: “It is true, [the people] assembled in their several States—and where else should they have assembled? No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass. Of consequence, when they act, they act in their States.” Marshall went on in his opinion to confuse “States” and “State governments,” thus setting up a convenient strawman to batter down. No one ever had contended that the Constitution was ratified by State governments, but Marshall, with a glittering display of intellectual swordsmanship, neatly skewered the nonexistent objection. Then he went on to say: “This Government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was pending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted. But the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising, and will probably continue to arise, as long as our system shall exist.” True enough, the question of “the extent of powers” does continue to arise to this day, though the doctrines of Marshall have so pervaded public thinking that it often is forgotten that the Federal Government has any limitations whatever. But the separateness of the States and the nature of their delegated powers were clearly recognized when the Constitution was created. The prophets who foresaw the trend toward consolidation—notably Patrick Henry and George Mason—were told they were old women, seeing ghosts. Consider, if you will, the debate on ratification in Virginia. The transcript offers some absorbing reading. If the clash of a Henry and a Mason with a Pendleton and a Madison does not prompt reflection upon subsequent corruption of the Constitution, at the very least their battle must lead to regrets at the decline in the quality of today’s legislative debates. There were giants in those days. This was, to paraphrase Marshall, a Constitution they were debating. What was said of the relationship of the States and the Federal Government? Go back in time. This was a sultry summer in Richmond. At least twice the brief convention was interrupted by thunder storms so severe the delegates were forced to recess. Tempers flared sharply. At one point Edmund Randolph, infuriated with Patrick Henry, was prepared to let their friendship “fall like Lucifer, never to rise again.” They began on Monday, June 2; they adjourned ''sine die'' on Friday, June 27. Into those 4 weeks, the Virginians of 1788 packed a world of profound reflection upon the meaning and intention of the Constitution. Edmund Pendleton served as president of the Virginia convention. He was a remarkable man: lawyer, scholar, statesman, thinker. In advocating ratification, Pendleton was joined by James Madison, John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, and Light Horse Harry Lee. They carried the day against Patrick Henry and George Mason, as leading opponents of the proposition. The convention scarcely had begun before Henry established the broad spread of argument. He did not propose to abide by any parliamentary decision to debate one clause at a time. Before the convention in Philadelphia the previous summer, said Henry, a general peace and a universal tranquillity had prevailed. Now he was “extremely uneasy at the proposed change of government.” He swept the room with a cold eye: “Be extremely cautious, watchful, jealous of your liberty. Instead of securing your rights, you may lose them forever.” George Mason came to his side. He charged that the new Constitution would create “a national government, and no longer a confederation.” He especially denounced the authority proposed in the general government to levy direct taxes. This power, being at the discretion of Congress and unconfined, “and without any kind of control, must carry everything before it.” “The idea of a consolidated government,” he said, “is totally subversive of every principle which has hitherto governed us. This power is calculated to annihilate totally the State governments. * * * These two concurrent powers cannot exist long together; the one will destroy the other; the general government, being paramount to and in every respect more powerful than the State governments, the latter must give way to the former.” Then Mason voiced the argument that is as applicable in the mid-20th century as it was toward the end of the 18th: “Is it to be supposed that one national government will suit so extensive a country, embracing so many climates, and containing inhabitants so very different in manners, habits, and customs? It is ascertained, by history, that there never was a government over a very extensive country without destroying the liberties of the people. * * * Popular governments can only exist in small territories.” On Thursday, June 5, Pendleton undertook to respond to Henry and to Mason. Was the proposed government, he inquired, truly a consolidated government? Of course not. “If this be such a government, I will confess, with my worthy friend, that it is inadmissible. * * *” The proposed Federal Government, he said, “extends to the general purposes of the Union. It does not intermeddle with the local, particular affairs of the States. * * * It is the interest of the Federal to preserve the State governments; upon the latter the existence of the former depends. * * * I wonder how any gentleman, reflecting on the subject, could have conceived an idea of the possibility of the latter.” Henry conceived it. He conceived it very clearly. The proposed Constitution, he felt, was “extremely pernicious, impolitic and dangerous.” He saw no jeopardy to the people in the Articles of Confederation; he saw great jeopardy in this new Constitution. And he had this to say: “We are descended from a people whose government was founded on liberty: Our glorious forefathers of Great Britain made liberty the foundation of every thing. That country is become a great, mighty, and splendid nation; not because their government is strong and energetic, but, sir, because liberty is its direct end and foundation. We drew the spirit of liberty from our British ancestors: By that spirit we have triumphed over every difficulty. But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, ts about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism.” And note this prophetic observation: “There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances?” What indeed? What have these ideal checks and balances availed the States in the 20th century? Henry saw the empty prospect: “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features; but when I come to examine these features, sir, they appear to me horribly frightful. Among other deformities, it has an awful squinting; it squints toward monarchy; and does not this raise indignation in the breast of every true American?” It was monarchy, ''per se'', that Henry foresaw. And it was despotism at the hands of a general government that he feared. “What are your checks in this Government?” he kept asking. No one ever answered him accurately, though half a dozen members of the Convention undertook to refute Henry and to allay his apprehensions. Randolph, replying to the objection that the country soon would be too large for effective government from the capital, commented that “no extent on earth seems to me too great,” but he added, “provided the laws be wisely made and executed.” It has proved to be a large qualification. Madison also responded to Henry’s general objection that the liberty of the people was in danger: “Since the general civilization of mankind,” he said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations.” Follow closely what Madison had to say next. He is expounding the relationship of the State and Federal Governments as he, above all men, understood it: “Give me leave to say something of the nature of the Government. * * * There are a number of opinions; but the principal question is, whether it be a federal or consolidated government. In order to judge properly of the question before us, we must consider it minutely in its principal parts. I conceive myself that it is of a mixed nature; it is in a manner unprecedented; we cannot find one express example in the experience of the world. It stands by itself. In some respects it is a government of a federal nature; in others it is of a consolidated nature. * * * Who are parties to it?” Note this, especially; it was quoted earlier, but it bears repetition: “The people—but not the people as composing one great body; but the people as composing 13 sovereignties.” Francis Corbin, one of the ablest political students of his time, then joined Madison, in soothing the growing fear that the Federal Government might one day absorb the State Governments. “The powers of the General Government,” he said, “are only of a general nature, and their object is to protect, defend, and strengthen the United States; but the internal administration of government is left to the State legisiatures, who exclusively retain such powers as will give the States the advantages of small republics, without the danger commonly attendant on the weakness of such governments.” Henry, undaunted, straightened his red wig and returned to the debate. “That government is no more than a choice among evils,” he remarked, “is acknowledged by the most intelligent among mankind, and has been a standing maxim for ages.” He could not accept the idea that this new government would be “a mighty benefit to us.” “Sir, I am made of so incredulous materials, that assertions and declarations do not satisfy me. I must be convinced, sir. I shall retain my infidelity on that subject till I see our liberties secured in a manner perfectly satisfactory to my understanding.” This exchange occurred on Friday, June 16. The following Monday, Henry renewed his assault: “A number of characters, of the greatest eminence in this country, object to this government for its consolidating tendency. This is not imaginary. It is a formidable reality. If consolidation proves to be as mischievous to this country as it has been to other countries, what will the poor inhabitants of this country do? This government will operate like an ambuscade. It will destroy the State governments, and swallow the liberties of the people, without giving previous notice.” Madison came back with fresh replies and new remonstrances. The States were safely protected, he assured the Virginia convention. And renewing the arguments he had advanced in the Federalist, “There will be an irresistible bias toward the State governments.” It was utterly improbable—almost impossible—that the Federal Government ever would encroach upon the States. “The means of influence consist in having the disposal of gifts and emoluments, and in the number of persons employed by and dependent upon a government. Will any gentleman compare the number of persons which will be employed in the General Government with the number of those which will be in the State governments? The number of dependents upon the State governments will be infinitely greater than those on the General Government. I may say, with truth, that there never was a more economical government in any age or country, nor which will require fewer hands, or give less influence.” Pendleton again gained the floor to tackle Henry’s objection. We are told, he said, “that there will be a war between the two bodies equally our representatives, and that the State government will be destroyed, and consolidated into the General Government. I stated before, that this could not be so. The two governments act in different manners, and for different purposes—the General Government in great national concerns, in which we are interested in common with other members of the Union; the State legislature in our mere local concerns. * * * Our dearest rights—life, liberty and property—as Virginians, are still in the hands of our State legislature.” Patrick Henry remained unconvinced. His opinion and Madison’s were “diametrically opposite.” The mild-mannered Madison said the States would prevail. Henry, a dramatic and eloquent speaker, feared the Federal Government would prevail. Bring forth the Federal allurements, he cried, “and compare them with the poor, contemptible things that the State legislatures can bring forth. * * * There are rich, fat, Federal emoluments. Your rich, smug, fine, fat, Federal officers—the number of collectors of taxes and excises—will outnumber anything from the States. Who can cope with the excise man and the tax men?” Henry did not imagine that the dual governments could be kept each within its proper orbit. “I assert that there is danger of interference,” he remarked, “because no line is drawn between the powers of the two governments, in many instances; and where there is a line, there is no check to prevent the one from encroaching upon the powers of the other. I therefore contend that they must interfere, and that this interference must subvert the State government as being less powerful. Unless your government have checks, it must inevitably terminate in the destruction of your privileges.” William Grayson, burly veteran of the Revolution, was another member of the Virginia convention who clearly perceived the absence of effective checks and balances. “Power ought to have such checks and limitations,” he said, “as to prevent bad men from abusing it. It ought to be granted on a supposition that men will be bad; for it may eventually be so.” Grayson was here discussing his apprehensions toward the powers vested by article III in the Supreme Court of the United States. “This Court,” he protested, “has more power than any court under heaven.” The Court’s appellate jurisdiction, especially, aroused his alarm: “What has it in view, unless to subvert the State governments?”}} Mr. President, only in the past few months this Court rendered a decision which struck down the sedition statutes in 48 States and two Territories, merely because the Federal Government had a statute on sedition. The Supreme Court held that because of that fact, the Federal Government had preempted the whole field, and struck down the State statutes on sedition. Sedition means overthrowing the Government. That is the practical effect of it. Steve Nelson, in Pennsylvania, was convicted under Pennsylvania law. He appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, and the Court turned him loose, on the ground that when the Federal sedition statute was enacted, that statute preempted the field. Thus it struck down all the State statutes on the subject. Forty-two States and two Territories had statutes on the subject. Judge Howard Smith, in the House, who was the author of the bill, said there was no such intention on his part when he introduced the bill. There was even a provision in the bill that the State laws should not be affected. Yet the Supreme Court struck down the sedition statutes in 42 States and two Territories. Nine men overruled the legislatures of 42 States, and would have overruled the supreme courts in 42 States if their statutes had been tested. In New York, a man named Slochower was employed by the City College of New York. The charter of the City College provides that if any schoolteacher takes refuge behind the fifth amendment, upon being asked by an official body about his Communist connections, he shall be automatically dismissed. He was questioned by an official body. He was automatically dismissed. But what happened? The Supreme Court reinstated him in his job. City College of New York cannot control its own faculty because of these nine men in Washington. Forty-eight State legislatures cannot have sedition statutes because of these nine men in Washington. Out in New Mexico a man applied for membership in the bar. A similar situation occurred in California. One of the men was admittedly a former Communist. The bar did not want him to become a member. Certainly the bar board should have discretion enough to determine whether a man had the character to be admitted. The board turned him down. In the other case the man refused to answer questions about his Communist connections. Both of those men—one a former Communist, the other tied in with the Communists—were refused licenses to practice law, one in New Mexico and the other in California. But the nine men comprising the Supreme Court ordered those boards to give the applicants their licenses. Also, in California there were 14 Communists convicted of actually organizing Communist cells. They were preaching the doctrine of communism. They were convicted in the California court. The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. What did that Court do? It turned five of them loose and gave the other nine a new trial. It virtually held, in fact, that one can preach communism all he wants to. So long as the organizing does not begin until a future day, it will be all right. In other words, there would have to be action to put it into effect immediately under the holding of the Court. How are we going to protect this Government? How is the FBI going to protect it? How are the people of California going to protect it when they catch people who are actually organizing Communist cells and who are advocating communism and preaching communism, and then the Supreme Court turns them loose, laying down a dangerous doctrine—and it is a dangerous doctrine to which I just referred. Then there is the Watkins case, Mr. President, which has hampered investigations by the Congress. The Supreme Court handed down a decision after Watkins had been convicted of contempt and turned him loose. The Court, in effect, held that a member of the counsel or someone who wanted to ask questions would have to explain the questions to the witness. A smart witness would never admit he understood or comprehended what was meant. In the city of Washington, Mr. President, one of the most dangerous decisions, I think, that has ever been handed down involved the man Mallory, who raped a white woman. He was caught the next day. He was caught about 2 o’clock. Along about 8 or 9 o’clock he was given a lie-detector test, and he confessed the crime and admitted that he raped the white woman. The officers could not get hold of the United States Commissioner that night, and had to wait until the next morning, about 9 o’clock. They held the admitted criminal from about 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, and in the meantime he gave a confession to the police in Washington. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. He had confessed his crime. But the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. What did those nine men do with it? They reversed the decision and said the police had held the man too long. What is going to happen in this Nation if police officers cannot hold criminals from 2 o’clock one day to 9 o’clock the next day, especially when those criminals have confessed to their crimes? Heretofore in judicial administration there has been no particular time fixed. A person could be held a reasonable time before arraignment. Under this decision the man would have to confess at just about the time he was arrested, because the Supreme Court held that after he is arrested he is under coercion; and because he was held that short time the Supreme Court reversed the case, and the district attorney said there would not be any use to try it again; that the evidence depended on the confession. As a result of that case, the Chief of Police in Washington said it would be very difficult to apprehend and detect criminals and arrest them hereafter and be able to make the evidence stand up in court. He called it a terrible handicap to law enforcement in such cases. Mr. President, there are other decisions the Supreme Court has handed down about which I should like to tell the Senate. The Court seems to get its greatest delight out of turning loose Communists. The record is disgraceful. The FBI, the law-enforcement agencies, police officers chase down Communists and narcotic people—and they are hard to catch. Then the Supreme Court reverses decisions and turns them loose and they walk the streets, as did the confessed rapist who was sentenced on his own confession. It is a disgrace to this Nation. Mr. President, I still think this compromise bill is unconstitutional, but with the present Supreme Court no one can predict what they will do about it. {{smaller block|It was John Marshall, who 15 years later would do so much to justify Mason’s apprehensions, who undertook to allay his fears now. The Federal Government, he insisted, certainly would not have the power “to make laws on every subject.” Could Members of the Congress make laws affecting the transfer of property, or contracts, or claims, between citizens of the same State? “Can they go beyond the delegated powers? If they were to make a law not warranted by any of the powers enumerated, it would be considered by the judges as an infringement of the Constitution which they are to guard. They would not consider such a law as coming under their jurisdiction. They would declare it void.” Marshall saw no danger to the States from decrees of the Supreme Court: “I hope that no gentleman will think that a State will be called at the bar of the Federal court. * * * It is not rational to suppose that the sovereign power should be dragged before a court.” Madison, Monroe, and others joined Marshall in defending the third article. Their debate was long and detailed. Much of it was concerned with questions of pleading and practice. But after several days, they went on to other aspects of the Constitution: The prospect of judicial despotism was recognized by the few, and denied by the many. {{c|{{asc|7. THE STATES RATIFY}}}} In the end, Virginia ratified. It was a close vote. A motion to postpone ratification until amendments, in the nature of a bill of rights, could be considered by “the other States in the American confederacy,” failed by 88 to 80. Then the main question was put, and this was what Virginia agreed to. It merits careful reading: “We, the delegates of the people of Virginia, * * * having fully and freely investigated and discussed the proceedings of the Federal Convention, and being prepared, as well as the most mature deliberation hath enabled us, to decide thereon, do, in the name and in behalf of the people of Virginia, declare and make known, that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will; that, therefore, no right, of any denomination, can be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by the Congress, by the Senate or House of Representatives, acting in any capacity, by the President, or any department or officer of the United States, except in those instances in which power is given by the Constitution for those purposes; and that, among other essential rights, the liberty of conscience and of the press cannot be canceled, abridged, restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United States.” The vote on that main question was 89 to 79, but even that narrow margin of approval was predicated upon a gentlemen’s agreement that the Virginia convention would recommend a number of amendments, in the form of a Bill of Rights, to be presented to the first Congress. And the first of these recommended amendments reads: “That each State in the Union shall respectively retain every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Constitution delegated to the Congress of the United States, or to the departments of the Federal Government.” By the time Virginia completed ratification, of course her decision no longer carried compelling importance. The Virginia convention had opened on June 2, not quite 2 weeks after South Carolina, on May 23, had become the eighth State to ratify. But while the Virginians were debating the issue, New Hampshire, on June 21, had become No. 9: The new union had been formed, and the Constitution had become binding upon the nine States “ratifying the same.” It has ever been Virginia’s fate to make the right decisions, but to put off making them as long as possible. In this consideration of State and Federal relationships, there is something to be learned from the other resolutions of ratification. The easy ones came first: Delaware came first, on December 7, 1787, “fully, freely, and entirely” approving and assenting to the Constitution; and then, in quick succession, Pennsylvania on December 12, after a bitter fight; New Jersey on December 18, and Georgia—Georgians had not even read the Constitution—on January 2, 1788. Connecticut followed a week later, with a comfortable vote of 128 to 40. Then a month’s hiatus set in. Massachusetts did not become No. 6 until February 7, and her approval of this “explicit and solemn compact” was not unqualified: “It is the opinion of this convention that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this commonwealth, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government.” It will come as no surprise that the very first amendment recommended by Massachusetts was “that it be explicitly declared that all powers not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Constitution are reserved to the several States to be by them exercised.” Two months later, on April 28, Maryland ratified. Then there was another lapse of nearly a month before South Carolina, on May 23, became No. 8; South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.” Then South Carolina added: “This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.” New Hampshire, in voting its approval on June 21, closely paralleled the action of Massachusetts, but New Hampshire’s declaration as to reserved powers was even more explicit. The people of New Hampshire wanted it understood that all powers not “expressly and particularly delegated” were reserved.}} Mr. LANGER. Mr. President, will the Senator from South Carolina yield for a question? Mr. THURMOND. I am pleased to yield. Mr. LANGER. Was the action of the South Carolina convention unanimous? [Laughter.] Mr. THURMOND. I do not recall, from reading the history of that matter, whether it was unanimous or not. The action of the South Carolina convention was not unanimous when it acted on the question of adopting the resolution of ratification for the admission of South Carolina to the Union. South Carolina was the eighth State to be admitted to the Union. New Hampshire was the ninth. New Hampshire’s action resulted in the formation of the Union; ratification by nine States was required in order to form the Union. After that, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution and became members of the Union. Mr. LANGER. I thank the Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I am not sure whether the action by the South Carolina convention was unanimous or not. Mr. LANGER. I know the Senator from South Carolina, who has been a very distinguished governor of his State, is very well informed in regard to such matters. Mr. THURMOND. As stated in the book, The Sovereign States— {{smaller block|South Carolina accompanied her resolution of ratification with a pointed statement that she considered it essential “to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several States” and for the freedom of the people, that the State’s right to prescribe the manner, time, and places of Congressional elections “be forever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several States.”}} Then South Carolina added: {{smaller block|“This convention doth also declare that no section or paragraph of the said Constitution warrants a construction that the States do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the General Government of the Union.”}} I construe that declaration to be part of the resolution of ratification, which was not adopted unanimously. Mr. LANGER. I thank the distinguished Senator from South Carolina. Mr. THURMOND. I have been glad, Mr. President, to have the Senator from North Dakota ask these questions. Mr. President, a few years ago, when I was a young State senator, I made a commencement address in another county, about 40 miles from my home. The commencement was held in a long school building in which the acoustics were very bad. People in the rear could not hear, and looked as if they were going to sleep—and maybe they were. So I raised my voice, and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that I am speaking for the future citizens of South Carolina.” By raising my voice, I woke up the people in the rear of the room; and one fellow rose up, shook his head, and said, “Well, brother, if you speak much longer, they will soon be here, too.” [Laughter.] Mr. President, I feel so good that I believe I could speak quite a long time. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I felt it my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort to emphasize the dangers of this bill. I began speaking at 8:50 last night. It is now 5 minutes after 9. I shall conclude my remarks in a very few minutes. Mr. President, in closing, I desire to remind the Senate that every State in the Nation has laws to protect the right to vote; and the Federal Government has a statute which protects the right to vote. In my opinion, Mr. President, this bill is unconstitutional, for the reasons I have stated during this debate. This so-called compromise, which came to the Senate from the House of Representatives, permits a Federal judge to decide whether he will try one who is charged with criminal contempt, or whether he will permit him to be tried by a jury. The bill further provides a Federal judge with the discretionary power—if he does not try the person without a jury—to decide what punishment he will impose. If he imposes a fine greater than $300 or imprisonment for more than 45 days, the defendant can then demand a jury trial. That process could result in two trials in the case of a defendant charged with criminal contempt. I believe that would be unconstitutional. Under our system of jurisprudence, a man can never be put in jeopardy more than once for the same offense. Furthermore, if a judge should find such a person guilty, as a result of the first trial, we can realize what effect that would have on the jury which would be used in the second trial. Mr. President, I should like to remind the Senate of the decision I have cited today, which holds that criminal contempt is a crime. That decision says criminal contempt is a crime. The Constitution says a man charged with a crime is entitled to a jury trial. The Constitution makes no exceptions. The pending bill, which has come to the Senate from the House of Representatives, has now been amended in such a way that it could not conform to the Constitution. Mr. President, in spite of the great amount of debate and discussion which previously have taken place on the subject of House bill 6127, I felt that this bill was of such importance to the citizens of the United States that it was my duty to make sure that I had not failed to exert every effort again to emphasize the dangers of the bill. I have spoken several times on it before. Mr. President, I wish to say that my action was taken entirely on my own volition. I believe that every Senator must follow the dictates of his own conscience, in connection with such matters. I do not believe that the action of any other Senator should be judged according to the action I have taken. Mr. President, if I have helped to bring home to the American people, the citizens of this Nation, the heartfelt conviction which I hold, namely, that this bill is unwise, unnecessary, and unconstitutional, then I shall have done what I believe to be my duty. I should like to believe that some have been convinced by my arguments, and that my arguments have been accepted on the basis on which I intended them to be accepted—as arguments against what I am convinced is bad proposed legislation, proposed legislation which never should have been introduced, and which never should be approved by the Senate. Mr. President, I urge every Member of this body to consider this bill most carefully. I hope the Senate will see fit to kill it. I expect to vote against the bill. [Laughter.] Mr. President, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to the officials of the Senate, to those who have come in to listen to this debate, to the various Senators who have listened to this debate from time to time; to the clerks and the attachés, and to all who did everything they could to make me as comfortable as possible during the 24 hours and 22 minutes I have spoken. Mr. President, I am deeply grateful for these courtesies, and again I want to thank the Presiding Officer and the others for their courtesies extended to me, and with this I now give up the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The Chief Clerk proceeded to call the roll. Mr. SMATHERS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the rollcall be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. </div> {{PD-USGov}} l0fwcwic4s5t4grdvkr01kehi8xm4ef Index:A Little Country Girl - Coolidge (1887).djvu 106 3150126 12507435 12369578 2022-07-24T22:15:41Z Maile66 219883 proofread-index text/x-wiki {{:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template |Type=book |Title=''[[A Little Country Girl (Coolidge)|A Little Country Girl]]'' |Language=en |Volume= |Author=[[author:Sarah Chauncey Woolsey|Susan Coolidge]] |Translator= |Editor= |Illustrator= |School= |Publisher=Roberts Brothers |Address=Boston |Year=1887 |Key= |ISBN= |OCLC= |LCCN= |BNF_ARK= |ARC= |DOI= |Source=djvu |Image=9 |Progress=T |Transclusion=yes |Validation_date= |Pages=<pagelist 1=Cover 2to7=- 8=Frontis 9=Title 10=Colophon 11=ToC 12=- 13=Half 14=- 15=7 81=- 82=Img 83=73 199=img 200=- 201=189 293=- 294=img 295=281 298=- 299to302=Advert 303to307=- 308=Cover /> |Volumes= |Remarks={{Page:A Little Country Girl - Coolidge (1887).djvu/11}} |Width= |Css= |Header= |Footer= }} rwm76jghpsyfe55zob8q9rhksofr5gw Page:Poet Lore, volume 4, 1892.djvu/9 104 3167985 12507280 12499528 2022-07-24T20:59:51Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jan.Kamenicek" /></noinclude>{| style="line-height:1; margin:auto; max-width:40em; font-size:83%;" |+{{xxx-larger|{{letter-spacing|0.25em|INDE|X.}}}} {{dhr|0.5em}} {{rule|5em}} {{dhr|0.5em}} |{{ts|ar}} | {{sc|page}} |- |{{dotted cell|‘Adam, Lilithe, and Eve’ {{float-right|style=background:inherit| {{namespace link|276|Number 5/Recent Browning books}} }}}} |- |{{dotted cell|Æschylus {{float-right| style=background:inherit| {{nowrap|{{namespace link|137|Number 3/A Sketch of the Prometheus Myth in Poetry#137–{{namespace link|{{SIC|148|243}}|Number 5/A Study of Browning's 'Ixion.'}}}}}}}}}} |- |{{dotted cell|{{bar|2}} The Religious Teachings of {{float-right| style=background:inherit| {{namespace link|415|Number 8-9/The Religious Teachings of Aeschylus}}}}}} |- |{{dotted cell|''Alger, G.

Unobtrusive, but always present when wanted, patient under neglect, in no wise puffed up by attention, always ready to resign any position, however advantageous, in favor of another, useful, often indispensable, but never making capital of this fact, equal to any demands, however inordinate, this being has yet no recognized position in society. I speak of the dummy. Always ready to take a fourth hand at whist, the games that Dummy has played must be indeed innumerable. Even had he been, in the beginning, of a low order of intellect, it is incredible that his merely mechanical knowledge of the fall of the cards is not almost faultless. And if we credit him with the taste and talent for the game natural in so determined a whist-player, we must come to the conclusion that his individual skill is something stupendous. Yet when matched against competent adversaries with a most incompetent partner, observe the perfect equanimity with which he submits to the most suicidal play. Scorning to conceal his cards from the rest of the table, he plays a game which disarms criticism and defies abuse. And what base advantage is taken of Dummy's frankness! What sordid calculations are founded upon a study of Dummy's hand! Even the best players will not hesitate to follow a scheme contrary to all the recognized rules of good play when Dummy is to the right or the left of them, exposing alike his strength and his weakness. And yet with what exemplary patience and self-control does Dummy view the slaughter of his own and his partner's hand! With what perfect good temper are his valuable cards sacrificed to establish the short-sighted places of a partner with not one-tenth his experience! Then to what onslaughts of facetiousness is he exposed! Each person at the table provokes some mirth at the expense of Dummy. Not witty himself, he is the cause of unlimited wit in others. Yet he never retaliates, and neither is his silence sullenness, for he is always ready to take a hand again with the same party. Yet who so easily ousted from his position for a new-comer? Let such a one stroll carelessly toward a whist-table, and the cry is, "Come, sit down, and take Dummy's place." Does patient and unobtrusive merit anywhere else meet with so little recognition? But the dummy of the whist-table is not the only one to whom we are indebted. Go into a tailor's or a fashionable dress and cloak establishment, and who are these individuals standing about, faultlessly attired and irreproachable in demeanor, ready to be of assistance to either buyer or seller, absolutely impartial in their presentation of the articles cast upon their shoulders, save for the air of distinction which a fine figure unavoidably imparts, and which is apt to fade away upon the ordinary wearer? Moreover, we have seen, when the thermometer was at ninety degrees, a large supply of cloaks and mantles thrown upon one unhappy dummy, one over the other, who wore the last with the same elegance with which she had adopted the first. Indeed, they are exposed to sudden changes of clothing uncalled for by even a New-England climate. Entering a salesroom occupied by these discreet figures, there is no air of loneliness, yet neither is there confusion or interference. Well dressed and well conducted, they would be ornaments in any ballroom, yet are their social gifts uniformly disregarded, while the trifling omission of a conspicuous head in their anatomy is one which should not prejudice us, who have learned how often that article is worse than useless in many social circles. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> djq5vi3h203mb0sg6m0k69ao6zhzwts Page:Lippincotts Monthly Magazine-34.djvu/213 104 3176568 12506952 10913107 2022-07-24T18:16:53Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|1884.]|''OUR MONTHLY GOSSIP.''|211}}</noinclude>In my early childhood I was deeply fascinated by a cap-dummy. Unlike most of its race, it had a well-shaped head and most artistic features. My grandmother used it to fit her caps on; and this head and neck, so much larger than even my largest doll, was a most delectable companion. I think it perhaps softened my feelings toward the whole race of dummies. It is very likely owing to early association with that creature, whose striking physiognomy was necessarily supplemented by a good deal of imagination, that I have been moved to raise my voice in their defence. Certain it is that they seem to me deserving of more attention. Is there not in their history and habits a field for investigation, for description, possibly for fiction? If I have contributed a little to the impartiality of their future treatment, I have done enough. {{float right|{{asc|A. E.}}|offset=2em}} {{c|'''Which?'''}} {{c|{{smaller|''Scene—The Conciergerie.

As in the hall their feet Tramped up and down, Death's huge flail seemed to beat On the last ears of harvest. Big with fate, Clouds lowered over Paris. The ''coupe-tte'' Sweated and toiled, and yet two hundred lay Ready, expectant, innocent. Each day A coarse, fierce, brutal, cruel man appeared. Smoking a pipe; removed it; stroked his beard. And, spelling over the day's list, called out Name after name, pronounced half wrong, no doubt. These were the victims named for that day's cart. Each rose at once, all ready to depart, Without a shudder,—without groan or tear,— Each one embraced his friends, and answered, "Here!" What use to tremble at a daily call? Death stood so near—was so well known to all, Men of low birth and men of lineage high Walked with an equal fortitude—to die, All brave alike—noble or Girondist. It chanced the jailer with the fatal list, Reading it out to the sad crowd one day, Called out one name distinctly: Charles Leguay. Two men at once stepped forward side by side: "''Present!''" two voices to his call replied. He burst out laughing: "I can pick and choose!" One was a ''bourgeois'', old, in square-toed shoes, Cold and respectable; with powdered wig; Of some provincial law-court the last twig. Ex-deputy of the Third Estate, perchance. The other—with calm brow and fiery glance— Was a young handsome officer, still dressed In his torn uniform. "Ha! ha! I'm blest But this is funny!" roared the man who read The daily death-list. Then he stopped, and said,— "Have ''both'' got the same name?—the two of you?" "We are both ready." "No! that will not do!" Replied the jailer. "One's enough for me. Explain yourselves. I'll settle it. Let me see." But both were Charles. Both bore the name Leguay. Both had been sentenced the preceding day. The jailer rolled his eyes and scratched his head. "The devil take me if I know," he said, "Which of the two of you I'd better pick. Here, citizens,—you settle it; but be quick, For Samson don't like waiting for his cart." The young man drew the older man apart. Few words sufficed. Two questions, and no more: "Married?" "Ah, yes!" "How many children?" "Four." "Well! Are you ready? Speak! Which is to die?"

The artist is given the task of painting a number of men of about the same age, dressed usually much alike, in dark doublets and plain white collars, seated at a table, or standing together, or examining a dead body. They have all a certain grave simplicity; their faces are full of good sense, but also of modesty. At first one rather pities the artists who had these corporation pictures always on hand; but the triumph is the greater when in this monotony of costume and lack of incident they give us pictures absorbing at once in their realism and their dignity. As one looks, the individuality of those grave and reverend seigniors comes out. Here is not a finer kind of photograph, as at first one thought, but a real picture,—a dozen portraits, a dozen lives and characters, in one frame. And as the expression of a people's spirit they have an interest and charm all their own. One reads Dutch history in these faces, ''bourgeois'' but not vulgar, simple but self-respecting and demanding respect. These are the descendants of the bold Beggars who made Philip II. tremble; these are the men whose brothers were great navigators and fighting captains, who in the interest of trade founded colonies, built ships, sought the Northwest Passage, defied Louis XIV., and were ready at need to sink their land rather than see it conquered. These are the men who made democracy a success; and one feels that in their hands it is safe from trickery and mistake. Picturesque or splendid it can never be, and the burghers of Amsterdam are a long way behind Veronese's noble feasters in this respect. But, since life for most of us will always be more broomstick than banquet, let us take what comfort we can in the dead level, remembering that it is, after all, the greatest good of the greatest number. But as to where between the two schools right lies, we can only echo George Sand: "Let the realists, if they like, go on proclaiming that all is prose, and the idealists that all is poetry. The first will have their days of sunshine, the last their rainy days. In all arts the victory remains with a privileged few who go their own ways." {{right|{{asc|E. F.

None of the common obstacles—poverty, obscurity, the shadow of other men's popularity, the neglect and repulses which genius must be prepared to encounter at the outset—was absent in his case; most of them, indeed, were present in an aggravated degree; and they were supplemented by others that proceeded from the peculiarities of his mental and physical constitution, as well as from the unwelcome nature of the doctrines which he conceived it to be his mission to teach. The inattention and indifference with which his utterances were at first received were succeeded by a repugnance which even those who were least hostile found it difficult to overcome. His style, so unlike that of any former writer, so opposite to all accepted models, was a stumbling-block with even the small circle, or, more correctly speaking, the isolated individuals, who acknowledged his power and originality as a thinker.

It was formerly, and perhaps is still, reproduced in English school reading-books. Voltaire, in chapter iii. of his “Zadig; ou, La Destinée” (the materials of which he is said to have derived from Geuelette’s “Soirées Bretonnes,”) has a version in which a lost palfrey and a she dog are described by the “sage” from the traces they had left on the path over which they passed. The great Arabian historian and traveller Mas’udi, in his “Meadows of Gold, and Mines of Gems,” written {{asc|A.D.}} 943, gives the story of the Lost Camel, and from Mas’udi it was probably taken into the MS. text of the “Thousand and One Nights,“” procured in the East (Constantinople) by Wortley Montague, and now preserved in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.<ref>It is not generally known that the “Birnam Wood” incident in Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” occurs in the same Arabian historical work.</ref> In that MS. it forms an incident in the story of the Sultan of Yeman and his Three Sons: the princes, after their father’s death, quarrel over the succession to the throne, and at length agree to lay their respective claims before one of the tributary princes. On the road one of them remarks, “A camel has lately passed this way loaded with grain on one side, and with sweetmeats on on the other.” The second observes, “and the camel is blind of one eye.” The third adds, “and it has lost its tail.” The owner comes up, and on hearing their description of his beast, forces them to go before the king of the country, to whom they explain how they discovered the defects of the camel and its lading.

A similiar legend was current in France during the Middle Ages. But our story—''mutatis mutandis''—is as old as the third century {{asc|B.C.}}, since it is found in a Buddhist work of that period. It also occurs in two Sanskrit forms of the celebrated Fables of Pilpay, or Bidnaia, namely the “Pancha Tantra” (five chapters), which is said to date as far back as the 5th century {{asc|A.D.}}, and the “Hitopadesa” (Friendly Counsels); also in the Arabian and other Eastern versions of the same work. It is found in all the texts of the Book of Sindibad—Greek, Syriac, Persian, Hebrew, Old Castilian, Arabic, &c., and in the several European versions, known generally under the title of “The History of the Seven Wise Masters,” the earliest form of which being a Latin prose work entitled “Dolopathos.” There are, of course, differences in the details of the numerous versions both Western and Eastern, but the fundamental outline is the same in all. In my work on the migrations of popular tales, I have reproduced all the known versions of this world-wide story, with the exception of that in the present romance, which is singular in representing the woman as killing herself after she had discovered her fatal mistake, and her husband as slaying his little son and himself. The author of the romance probably added these tragedies, in order to enable the supposed narrator to more forcibly impress the king with the {{SIC|grevious|grievous}} consequences of acting in affairs of moment with inconsiderateness and precipitation.

Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, in whom all the Jewish prophecies are accomplished; but the Jews, infatuated with the idea of a ''temporal'' Messiah, who is to subdue the world, still wait for his appearance. The ''Talmud'' is a collection of the doctrines and morality of the Jews. Their confession of faith consists of thirteen articles, and distinctly affirms the authenticity and genuineness of the books of Moses. From the time of the destruction of the city and temple of Jerusalem by the Roman emperor Titus, {{asc|A.D.}} 70, the Jews have been without a common country—without a temple—without a sacrifice—without a prophet—and, as was predicted respecting them, have ever been "an astonishment, a proverb, and a by-word," among all the nations whither the Lord hath scattered them. {{div|Mahometanism}}{{c|{{asc|MAHOMETANISM.}}}} Mahomet, the famous impostor and founder of this religion, was born in the year 570, at Mecca, a city of Arabia. Losing his father in his infancy, he was employed by his uncle to go with his caravans from Mecca to Damascus. In this occupation he continued till he was twenty-eight years of age, when, by marrying Khadijah, a rich widow, he became one of the wealthiest men in his native city. A disposition to religious contemplation seems to have attended him from his early youth; and having remarked in his travels the great variety of sects which prevailed, he formed the design of forming a new one. He accordingly spent much of his time in a cave near Mecca, employed in meditation and prayer. With the assistance of two Christians and a Persian Jew, he framed the celebrated Koran or Alkoran, a book which he pretended to have received from heaven, by the hands of the angel Gabriel. At the age of forty, he publicly assumed the prophetical character, calling himself the apostle of God. At first he had only nine followers, including his wife; but in three years the number was considerably increased. A conspiracy having been formed against him in Mecca, he retreated to Medina. It is from this event, called the Hegira, or ''flight'', that the Mussulmans compute their time; it corresponds with the 6th of June, 622. From this period his affairs went on prosperously. Having declared his resolution to propagate the new faith by the sword, he added the hopes of booty to the religious zeal of his partisans; and having made himself master of Arabia, he<noinclude></noinclude> 8nzyujicck3dwkt97d0duk23vb6vv16 Page:The Sokols.djvu/3 104 3279444 12507785 11710967 2022-07-25T02:53:17Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Kathleen.wright5" /></noinclude>{{c|{{xxxx-larger|THE SOKOLS.}} {{dhr}} {{sm|By}} ''[[Author:Josef Eugen Scheiner|JOSEF SCHEINER]]'',<br /> {{sm|L.

The difference of the month of January is 5°, February 6°, March 3°, and April 4°. The effects of this difference are quite obvious in the unusually forward state of vegetation in gardens and orchards, and would have been equally conspicuous in the corn-fields, but for the severe and long-continued drought. {{rule|4em}} {{c|{{asc|METEOROLOGICAL TABLE,}} ''Extracted from the Register kept on the Banks of the Tay, four miles east from Perth, Latitude'' 56° 25′, ''Elevation'' 185 ''feet.''}} {{table missing}} {{c|{{sc|April}} 1817.}} ''Means.''

It may not however be uninteresting to our readers to state, that the mean temperature of the four months of this year that have just elapsed, considerably exceeds the mean temperature of the corresponding months of last year. The difference of the month of January is 5°, February 6°, March 3°, and April 4°. The effects of this difference are quite obvious in the unusually forward state of vegetation in gardens and orchards, and would have been equally conspicuous in the corn-fields, but for the severe and long-continued drought. {{rule|4em}} {{c|{{sm|METEOROLOGICAL TABLE,}} ''Extracted from the Register kept on the Banks of the Tay, four miles east from Perth, Latitude'' 56° 25′, ''Elevation'' 185 ''feet.''}} {{table missing}} {{c|{{sc|April}} 1817.}} ''Means.''

A considerable number have been found in Tuscany, at ''il Castellare'', not far from Pisa.

Enna, near which this bullet was found , was not captured by him but by his successor, ''Rupilius''.

''ap.'' Orelli, 4932), “Strike, O Rome!”’ I much prefer Mommsen’s suggestion, that FIR· are the first three letters of FIRMO, in the sense “thrown from Firmum,” and that the allusion is to the siege of that town, whilst occupied by Cn. Pompeius Strabo, during the Social war, in 90 {{asc|B.C.}} The bullet bearing ΕΛΛΕΝΙ, ''i. e.'' Ἑλλήνων or Ἑλληνίκων, is said to have been found on the plains of Marathon, but its genuineness is justly doubted.<ref>Some, however, have been found there, which seem to be unimpeachable. See Dodwell’s ''Tour'', ii. 161. Those found at Athens were probably thrown during the siege by Sylla.</ref> <ref>Ritschl, Pl. viii. nn. 20, 21.</ref>ITAL, ''i. e.'' ''Italicorum'', is on ''glandes'' which were thrown on the side of the ''Socii Italici''; and those which are inscribed OPITERGIN belonged to the ''Opitergini'', who were warm allies of Cæsar. 3. The names of deities are most probably of those gods and goddesses, whose aid was specially invoked by the combatants on either side, or to whom the missiles were consecrated, as MAR·VLT, ''Marti Ultori''. 4. The names of men in connection with “victory,” of course indicate the wish that those who are named may succeed. The inscription ΑΘΗΝΙΩΝΟΣ ΝΙΚΗ, on μολύβδαιναι found in the ''campus Leontinus'', shows that such bullets were thrown by the slaves in the Servile war in Sicily, 102–99 {{asc|B.C.}}, for Athenio was a leader in that insurrection. The ''glandes'' found near Perusia, which bear the words C·<ref>In ''Cæsarus'' we have the archaic termination of the genitive of the third declension. Thus ''Cererus'', in n. 566, ''hominus'', in n. 200, ''patrus'', in n. 1469, &c.</ref>CAESARVS·VICTORIA, were thrown by the besiegers, partisans of Octavianus. 5. The inscriptions, in which the names of deities are used in connection with “Victory,” indicate the gods or goddesses who were believed to be specially interested in favour of each side, or who had been chosen as patrons. Thus ΔΙΟΣ ΝΙΚΗ may have been on the Roman missiles, and ΝΙΚΗ ΜΗΤΕΡΩΝ (otherwise ΝΙΚΗ ΜΑΤΕΡΩΝ) on the Sicilian. That the ''Deæ Matres'' were worshipped in the island, appears from the statements of Diodorus Siculus, iv. 79, 80, and Posidonius, in Plutarch, ''Marcellus'', c. 19, independently of the evidence supplied by this inscription. Another of these Sicilian bullets is inscribed with the words ΝΙΚΗ ΜΑΤΕΡΟΣ, from which<noinclude>{{rule}}{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> hoih93ph36re5zdv4g8j3qan5eob2xr Page:On Inscribed Sling-bullets.pdf/11 104 3301796 12507233 10391245 2022-07-24T20:42:55Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh||{{asc|INSCRIBED SLING-BULLETS}}.|7}}</noinclude>From these remarks it appears, if I understand them correctly, that Mr. Hawkins is dissatisfied with the use of ΦΑΙΝΕ in the sense, “appear,” or “show yourself;” and thinks that if this had been the meaning, we should have had the passive or middle ΦΑΙΝΟΥ; and yet in another place, p. 105, he translates ΦΑΙΝΕ “appear.” Again, he seems to doubt whether the word was ΦΑΙΝΩ, or ΦΑΙΝΕΩ, which latter he believed to be the Ionic form of ΦΑΙΝΟΥ. On reference to the representation of the bullet in his drawing, it is plain that the word is neither ΦΑΙΝΩ nor ΦΑΙΝΟΥ, but ΦΑΙΝΕ; after which there may, perhaps, have been another letter. What that other letter was is of course doubtful, but it certainly was not Ω. ΦΑΙΝΕΟ, not ΦΑΙΝΕΩ, is another form of ΦΑΙΝΟΥ. Mr. Hawkins had, I think, some reason to be dissatisfied with the use of ΦΑΙΝΕ in the sense “appear,” “show yourself;” but the passive or middle ΦΑΙΝΟΥ, is not necessary, as φαίνω is sometimes used intransitively. My objection to either of these words in the assigned signification is, that I do not recollect having met with a similar instance, whilst I at once call to mind the the use of φάγηθι by the Tragedians; ''e. gr.'' Æschylus, ''Persæ'', 667; Sophocles, ''Ajax'', 697; Euripides, ''Phænissæ'', 1748. The true explanation of the inscription is, in my judgment, suggested by the consideration of the probable date. Mr. Hawkins judiciously remarks on this subject: {{smaller block|This specimen was found lodged in the Cyclopian walls of Samé in Cephalonia. The determination of its date must depend on the degree of probability which may be attached to the supposition that it was deposited there by one of the Achæan slingers from Ægium, Patræ, and Dyme, of whom there were one hundred in the army with which the Roman consul, M. Fulvius, reduced that place, after a siege of four months, {{asc|B.C.}} 189.—(Livy, xxxviii. 20.)}} The siege of {{SIC|Same|Samé}} took place, as is well known, at the end of the Ætolian war, in which Phæneas, ΦΑΙΝΕΑΣ, took a prominent part, as Prætor of the Ætolians. (See Livy, xxxii. 32; xxxiii. 3; xxxvi. 28; Polybius, xvii. 1; xviii. 20; xx. 9.) In this year, {{asc|B.C.}} 189, he, in conjunction with Damoteles, had obtained peace from M. Fulvius, from which, however, the Romans specially excluded Cephallenia. (See Livy, xxxviii. 8; Polybius, xxii. 12.) It appears, then, that if there was a letter after ΦΑΙΝΕ, it probably was Α, ''i. e.'' φαινέα for φαινέου. The inscription of his name seems to indicate that the bullet was Ætolian, cast whilst he was Prætor (see p. 4), or it may have been<noinclude></noinclude> r5c9y4xqhyb6xql6yzerk5qvrr9t8b7 Page:Lippincotts Monthly Magazine-07.pdf/13 104 3304772 12506949 10398934 2022-07-24T18:16:03Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Hilohello" /></noinclude>{{rule|30em}} {{c|style=font-size:83%;| Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1871, by J.

In addition to these defects, which are to be laid to the compiler, there are various misprints in the George Eliot Calendar which deface it greatly. For instance, Silas Marner is printed throughout Silas Warner. And in the quotation, "It is difficult for a woman to try to be anything good, when she is not believed in," ''for'' is replaced by ''in;'' and in another quotation, "We can set a watch over our affections and our constancy as we can over our other treasures," the omission of the word ''other'' takes half the beauty from the idea. Whether the last citations be mistakes of the compiler's or of the printer's, they are equally inexcusable. {{float right|{{asc|J.

He begins by reminding us of the old Scotch proverb that it is an ill bird which fouls its own nest, and he continues, "The inodorous truth of this saying is often called to my mind by the persistent efforts of certain writers to present literary men, especially those who have passed away, in their worst light,—to bring out phases of their nature showing them mean and silly, weak and wicked. These writers appear to have discovered that they have a high moral duty to perform: they become very tender in conscience about the estimate the world has been putting on obscure individuals connected with men of genius; chivalrous in bringing them before the public for tardy justice. All of which, by the way, is asked for by no one, and would be the last thing desired by these unfortunates could they speak for themselves. Has the author's life been so much of a success that he need be made to know his place and taught humility? Which has done mankind most harm in the past, hero-worship or the opposite tendency? How are the youthful and enthusiastic to be helped by seeing those in whose excellence they found exalted standards lowered in their eyes and by having their enthusiasm cooled? Youth cannot separate the artist from his art, and it is well it cannot. Has the world at large, or rather has the lower walk of the newspaper press, from which it gets so much of its information, been slow to find out the sins of writers and make the most of them? These singers of songs and tellers of stories have done more than all others to lessen the sadness of the soul in these days when science and philosophy appear only to widen and deepen the problems of life, without offering for them solutions or increasing our hope of ultimate enlightenment. Pessimism is not popular, but I will venture to submit whether this is not an age of high moral standards and small performance. In view of this, let us leave the men of the past to the measure that was meted out to them by their contemporaries." {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> ih3jbphg7j4rbohizutdsdt8wjd2fn2 Page:Stray feathers.

The book is naturally highly prized by the advocates of the Baconian theory. It is true the anti-Baconians hold that Bacon never could have written the dramas, because they are full of legal mistakes which might call a blush to the cheek of even an attorney's clerk. But this only emphasizes the great truth that if Bacon did not write the dramas he ought to have done so, just as he ought to have survived to write the modern novels. Only a man who has taken all knowledge to be his province could be fully equipped as a dramatist in Shakespeare's time or a novelist in ours. Science, philosophy, theology, medicine, law, should be at the fingers' ends of writers whose plots are continually bringing them face to face with the minutiæ of those sciences. It cannot please the author of the last new novel to learn that his pet clergyman has betrayed signal ignorance of the religion he professes, that his judge has made rulings contrary to all law, that his heroine never could have died of the disease with which he has afflicted her, but is still existing somewhere in cloud-land as an interesting valetudinarian. In "The Holy Rose," for example, which was reviewed last month, Mr. Besant makes his heroines—pious and devoted Catholics—sell a valuable heirloom which had once been blessed by a pope. A good Catholic would look upon such a sale as a sacrilege, a mortal sin. Even Walter Scott, who was usually careful of his accessories, makes the Fair Maid of Perth go to mass in the afternoon, whereas that service can only be performed in the morning. It has been urged against [[Author:Wilkie Collins|Wilkie Collins]], who is fond of introducing the sick-room into his novels, that he does not always succeed in correctly diagnosing his patient's case, in spite of the fact that his proof-sheets, so the gossip runs, are submitted to professional criticism. But it is in law that the novelist's feet have strayed the furthest, for law has a natural fascination for the romancer in its close connection with crime, mystery, and tragedy, while it is a slippery subject even in the hands of an expert. Some of the famous trial scenes that live vividly in the memory of the old novel-reader—the trial scenes, for example, in "Very Hard Cash," in "Griffith Gaunt," and in "Orley Farm"—show all the layman's unfamiliarity with the laws of evidence, and to the legal mind have about equal verisimilitude with the still more famous trial scene in "The Merchant of Venice." The greatest blunderers, of course, are the lady novelists,—Miss Braddon, Mrs. Henry Wood, and our own dear Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth. In her "Missing Bride" the latter has given us a trial scene where the jury are drawn not by the sheriff,<noinclude></noinclude> 31bddrlogl08en182iitfwxwebrhm7n Page:History of Woman Suffrage Volume 1.djvu/150 104 3313305 12507918 10418835 2022-07-25T05:04:49Z Ineuw 114977 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ineuw" />{{rh|134|''History of Woman Suffrage.''|}}</noinclude>You ask me who made this sentiment; and my friend yonder, says woman. She is but the echo of man. Man utters the sentiment, and woman echoes it. As I said before — for I have seen and felt it deeply — she even appears to be quite nattered with her cruel tyrant, for such he has been made to be — she is quite nattered with the destroyer of woman's character — aye, worse than that, the destroyer of woman's self-respect and peace of mind — and when she meets him, she is nattered with his attentions. Why should she not be? He is admitted into Legislative halls, and to all places where men "most do congregate;" why, then, should she not admit him to her parlor? The woman is admitted into no such places; the Church casts her out; and a stigma is cast upon her, for what is called the slightest "impropriety." Prescribed by no true moral law, but by superstition and prejudice, she is cast out not only from public places, but from private homes. And if any woman would take her sister to her heart, and warm her there again by sympathy and kindness, if she would endeavor once more to infuse into her the spark of life and virtue, of morality and peace, she often dare not so far encounter public prejudice as to do it. It requires a courage beyond what woman can now possess, to take the part of the woman against the villain. There are few such among us, and though few, they have stood forward nobly and gloriously. I will not mention names, though it is often a practice to do so I must, however, mention our sister, Lucretia Mott, who has stood up and taken her fallen sister by the hand, and warmed her at her own heart. But we can not expect every woman to possess that degree of courage. {{sc|Abby Kelly Foster}}: I want to say here that I believe the law is but the writing out of public sentiment, and back of that public sentiment, I contend lies the responsibility. Where shall we find it? "Tis education forms the common mind." It is allowed that we are what we are educated to be. Now if we can ascertain who has had the education of us, we can ascertain who is responsible for the law, and for public sentiment. Who takes the infant from its cradle and baptizes it "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; "and when that infant comes to childhood, who takes it into Sabbath-schools; who on every Sabbath day, while its mind is "like clay in the hands of the potter," moulds and fashions it as he will; and when that child comes to be a youth, where is he found, one-seventh part of the time; and when he comes to maturer age, does he not leave his plow in the furrow, and his tools in the shop, and one-seventh part of the time go to the place where prayer is wont to be made? On that day no sound is heard but the roll of the carriage wheels to church; all are gathered there, everything worldly is laid aside, all thoughts are given entirely to the Creator; for we are taught that we must not think our own thoughts, but must lay our own wills aside, and come to be moulded and fashioned by the priest. It is "holy time," and we are to give ourselves to be wholly and entirely fashioned and formed by another. That place is a holy place, and when we enter, our eye rests on the "holy of holies; "he within it is a "divine.'' The "divines "of the thirteenth century, the "divines "of the fifteenth century, and the "divines" of the nineteenth century, are no less "divines."<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> qgyc4skqqlcwsd0v4ftc9b9i42uczm6 Page:History of Woman Suffrage Volume 1.djvu/151 104 3313306 12507920 10418836 2022-07-25T05:06:58Z Ineuw 114977 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ineuw" />{{rh||''It is the Pulpit.''|135}}</noinclude>What I say to-day is taken for what it is worth, or perhaps for less than it is worth, because of the prejudice against me; but when he who educates the people speaks, '"he speaks as one having authority," and is not to be questioned. He claims, and has his claim allowed, to be specially ordained and specially anointed from God. He stands mid-way between Deity and man, and therefore his word has power. Aye, not only in middle age does the man come, leaving everything behind him; but, in old age, "leaning on the top of his staff," he finds himself gathered in the place of worship, and though his ear may be dull and heavy, he leans far forward to catch the last words of duty — of duty to God and duty to man. Duty is the professed object of the pulpit, and if it does not teach that, what in Heaven's name does it teach? This anointed man of God speaks of moral duty to God and man. He teaches man from the cradle to the coffin; and when that aged form is gathered within its winding-sheet, it is the pulpit that says, "Dust to dust and ashes to ashes." It is the pulpit, then, which has the entire ear of the community, one seventh part of the time. If you say there are exceptions, very well, that proves the rule. If there is one family who do not go to church, it is no matter, its teachings are engendered by those who do go; hence I would say, not only does the pulpit have the ear of the community one-seventh part of the time of childhood, but it has it under circumstances for forming and moulding and fashioning the young mind, as no other educating influence can have it. The pulpit has it, not only under these circumstances; it has it on occasions of marriage, when two hearts are welded into one; on occasions of sickness and death, when all the world beside is shut out, when the mind is most susceptible of impressions from the pulpit, or any other source. I say, then, that woman is not the author of this sentiment against her fallen sister, and I roll back the assertion on its source. Having the public ear one-seventh part of the time, if the men of the pulpit do not educate the public mind, who does educate it? Millions of dollars are paid for this education, and if they do not educate the public mind in its morals, what, I ask, are we paying our money for? If woman is cast out of society, and man is placed in a position where he is respected, then I charge upon the pulpit that it has been recreant to its duty. If the pulpit should speak out fully and everywhere, upon this subject, would not woman obey it? Are not women under the special leading and direction of their clergymen? You may tell me, that it is woman who forms the mind of the child; but I charge it back again, that it is the minister who forms the mind of the woman. It is he who makes the mother what she is; therefore her teaching of the child is only conveying the instructions of the pulpit at second hand. If public sentiment is wrong on this (and I have the testimony of those who have spoken this morning, that it is), the pulpit is responsible for it, and has the power of changing it. The clergy claim the credit of establishing public schools. Granted. Listen to the pulpit in any matter of humanity, and they will claim the originating of it, because they are the teachers of the people.

I name the pulpit with solemn awe, and unless there is necessity for it, charges had better not be made against it. Now, I say that no practice and no usage in the Church can be found, by which a criminal man, in reference to the crimes referred to, may be kept in the Church and a criminal woman cast out. There is no such custom in any of the churches of God. After twenty years' acquaintance with the Church, I affirm that the practice does not exist. Now, in regard to the origin of public sentiment, can a pulpit be found, will the lady who has just sat down, name a pulpit in the wide world, where the principle is advocated, that a criminal woman should be excluded, and the man upheld? Whatever faults may be in it, that fault is not there. {{sc|Mrs. Rose:}} Not in theory, but in practice. {{sc|Mr. Mahan}}: Neither in theory nor in practice. Where a wrong state of society exists, the pulpit may be in fault for not reprobating it. {{sc|Abby K. Foster:}} I do not wish to mention names, or I could doso. I could give many cases where ministers have been charged with such crimes, and where the evidence of guilt was almost insurmountable, and yet they were not disciplined. They were afraid it would injure the Church. I remember one minister who was brought up for trial, and meantime they suspended him from office, and paid him only half his salary, but retained him as a church member; when, if it had been the case of a woman, and had the slightest shade of suspicion been cast upon her, they would not have waited even for trial and judgment. They would have cast her out of the church at once. {{sc|William Lloyd Garrison}} said: I have but a few words to submit to the meeting at the present time. In regard to the position of the Church and clergy, on the subject of purity, I think it is sufficient to remind the people here, that whatever may be the external form observed by the Church toward its members, pertaining to licentiousness, one thing is noticeable, and that is, that the marriage relation is abolished among three and a half millions of people; and the abolition of marriage on that frightful scale, is in the main sanctioned and sustained by the American Church and clergy. And if this does not involve them in all that is impure, and licentious, and demoralizing, I know not what can do so. As it respects the objection to our adopting the Declaration of Independence as put forth at Seneca Falls, on the ground that it is a parody, and that, being a parody, it will only excite the mirthfulness of those who hear or read it in that form; I would simply remark, that I very much doubt, whether, among candid and serious men, there would be any such mirthfulness excited.

It was taking their own words and applying their own principles to women, as they have been applied to men. At the same time, I liked the suggestion that we had better present an original paper to the country; and on conferring with the Committee after the adjournment, they agreed that it would be better to have such a paper; and that paper will undoubtedly be prepared, although we are not now ready to lay it before the Convention. It was this morning objected to the Declaration of sentiments, that it implied that man was the only transgressor, that he had been guilty of injustice and usurpation, and the suggestion was also made, that woman should not be criminated, in this only, but regarded rather as one who had erred through ignorance; and our eloquent friend, Mrs. Rose, who stood on this platform and pleaded with such marked ability, as she always does plead in any cause she undertakes to speak upon, told us her creed. She told us she did not blame anybody, really, and did not hold any man to be criminal, or any individual to be responsible for public sentiment, as regards the difference of criminality of man and woman. For my own part, I am not prepared to respect that philosophy. I believe in sin, therefore in a sinner; in theft, therefore in a thief; in slavery, therefore in a slaveholder; in wrong, therefore in a wrong-doer; and unless the men of this nation are made by woman to see that they have been guilty of usurpation, and cruel usurpation, I believe very little progress will. be made. To say all this has been done without thinking, without calculation, without design, by mere accident, by a want of light; can anybody believe this who is familiar with all the facts in the case? Certainly, for one, I hope ever to lean to the charitable side, and will try to do so. I, too, believe things are done through misconception and misapprehension, which are injurious, yes, which are immoral and unchristian; but only to a limited extent. There is such a thing as intelligent wickedness, a design on the part of those who have the light to quench it, and to do the wrong to gratify their own propensities, and to further their own interests. So, then, I believe, that as man has monopolized for generations all the rights which belong to woman, it has not been accidental, not through ignorance on his part; but I believe that man has done this through calculation, actuated by a spirit of pride, a desire for domination which has made him degrade woman in her own eyes, and thereby tend to make her a mere vassal. It seems to me, therefore, that we are to deal with the consciences of men. It is idle to say that the guilt is common, that the women are as deeply involved in this matter as the men. Never can it be said that the victims are as much to be blamed as the victimizer; that the slaves are to be as much blamed as the slaveholders and slave-drivers; that the women who have no rights, are to be as much blamed as the men who have played the part of robbers and tyrants. We must deal with conscience. The men of this nation, and the men of all nations, have no just respect for woman. They have tyrannized over her deliberately, they have not sinned through ignorance, but theirs is not the knowledge that saves.

How she taught arithmetic must remain a mystery, for she certainly knew nothing of it. Yet I am not sure that her sweet manner, the soft inflections of her gentle voice, and the perfect purity of her English were not of better value to her pupils than anything a normal-school graduate could have taught them. Milly taught for two or three years, and finally married a handsome, light-colored scamp, who made a business of fascination, and who had no other. Last winter I saw her again, after four years. Her husband had deserted her, and she had gone back to her mother with her child. The little girl in no respect resembles either her loving mother or her handsome ne'er-do-weel father, but has "reverted" to the strongly characteristic ugliness of her half-Indian grandmother. Perhaps it is just as well. I asked Milly why she did not go back to teaching, and she lifted her pathetic eyes—more pathetic now for the worn face in which they are framed—and said, with the soft lingering cadence of old, "I don't guess I know enough. I've forgotten all I used to know, and sometimes I almost think I never did know anything." Poor little Milly! {{float right|{{asc|L. S. H.}}|offset=2em}} If you care to have the views of a practical engineer on the subject of "The Keely Motor Secret," I take pleasure in giving them to you, as follows: I have seen Mr. Keely's motor in operation, and I am obliged to say as an engineer that in my judgment there is nothing particularly new in the entire subject. It is a reproduction of force by well-known means. The shrouding of this Keely motor business in words and sentences void of rational meaning in order to surround the simplest facts with an air of mystery has been during the entire life of the undertaking one of the most amusing features of the scheme. Boscovich's hypothesis of the constitution of matter, which may almost be considered the foundation of analytical mechanics, contains the very essence of the so-called Keely motor. This motor is clearly nothing more nor less than the generation of an elastic condition of air, gas, or vapor produced by causing the molecules of the gas acted upon to vibrate violently in a containing vessel, and from thence it is allowed to escape in this strained condition in order to produce a development of power in any way that may be thought desirable. The production of steam is a similar development of power,—viz.: 1. The vibration of water by means of a form of motion known as heat causes it to assume an elastic condition of vapor, and 2. The vibration of air, gas, or vapor by means of a form of motion known as sound causes it to assume an elastic condition. There is not the slightest difference, scientifically speaking, in the two actions. Similar causes produce similar results. The etheric vapor or ether, which is so much spoken of as a great discovery by Mr. Keely, was known and acknowledged before he was born. Unquestionably it pervades all space and all substances, and without its presence in space and matter the transmission of heat, light, sound, and electricity cannot be accounted for. The old law of action and reaction being equal, contrary, and simultaneous is shown in the actual movement of Mr. Keely's motor, and were the law untrue, his machine, as I saw it, would remain perfectly stationary; neither does he produce something out of nothing, as stated by some of those interested with him, for<noinclude></noinclude> a8hth2cg13jlqrxy5s8i1ymhrlf0jd5 Page:Lippincotts Monthly Magazine-40.djvu/622 104 3314983 12506959 11816112 2022-07-24T18:18:24Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|604|''BOOK-TALK.''|}}</noinclude>believe that I am not alone in this, but that there are many who are doing the same work according to their strength and opportunities better or worse than I, but always with the same aim,—because of this I have said my say to-day. We are not all of us money-makers, Mr. Waters. Some of us still "have no time to get rich," as Agassiz said. Some of us still believe that there is something higher in life than the pork-market. My own audience is as small as is their stature. The readers of ''Lippincott's'' probably never heard of me but once, so I may be pardoned if I use a ''nom de plume'' below. But, as a last word, let me say again, think better of us, Mr. Waters, think better of us! There are more precious things in the universe than gold and fame. {{float right|{{asc|J. P.

But the ink had hardly dried on the Reviewer's manuscript ere the Providence which is known to hate heretics sent a swift and cruel retribution,—the messengers chosen to convey the divine wrath being, of all people in the world, the Messrs. Harper Brothers, who have republished in their Franklin Square Series [[Author:Walter Besant|Walter Besant]]'s "The Holy Rose." It will be remembered that the Reviewer showed a genial tolerance towards the actions of Charles Reade, Thomas Hardy, and others in rescuing some of the flotsam and jetsam of literature and claiming them as their own, urging that, so far at least as he was concerned, these novelists had simply given him a certain amount of pleasure which might never have been his had he been left unaided to explore the literary ocean. But when a light little ephemeral skiff seeks to claim salvage in one of the Great Easterns of literature, sailing proudly and calmly on to the haven of immortality, the effect is ridiculous and even painful. Every well-educated man is acquainted with Dickens's "Tale of Two Cities." To take the plot of that story, altering it in unessential details, but emphasizing its resemblance in essentials by preserving the ''locale'' and the period, is an offence that cannot be condoned; but, unfortunately, the innocent reader suffers more than the guilty author. It is no defence to urge that the ''donnée'' was not original with Dickens, that the central idea—a man's profiting by an extraordinary resemblance to a condemned prisoner in whom he was interested to substitute himself in the prisoner's place—had been used in this or that story, poem, or drama before the "Tale of Two Cities." There is no such resemblance between the "Tale of Two Cities" and any literary work that preceded it as there is between "The Holy Rose" and "A Tale of Two Cities." Moreover, when a great genius has preempted a story, even if at one time it were common property, it is just as well for succeeding mediocrities to respect his claim. We want no more "Hamlets," no more "Romeo and Juliets," since Shakespeare. Of course the line must be drawn somewhere. It would not do to say that a great genius must be left in the undisturbed possession of those stock situations which are subject to infinite diversity of treatment.

They then slowly retreated to the head of Loch Tay; but Bruce now found himself beset with danger, as this part of the Highlands into which he had been compelled to retreat was under the sway of his mortal enemy, the Lord of Lorn, who had married the aunt of the murdered Comyn. This chief accordingly assembled his friends and dependants, and in a body of a thousand strong, attacked Bruce, while retreating in a narrow valley. They swarmed round the little still phalanx like hornets, and several deadly encounters took place. At one moment Bruce himself had a narrow escape. Three strong Highlanders threw themselves in his way, resolved to become masters of his person. One seized his bridle-reins, and attacked him in front; another grasped his steel boot, and thrusting his arm between the stirrup and the foot, endeavoured to unhorse him.

Bruce, however, shook the mountaineer from his hold, and as he fell cleft him with his battle-axe from the skull to the chin: he then despatched his companion, whose hands were pinioned by his leg and stirrup to the horse, and, disengaging himself from the dead body, rejoined his men.

Many of his party were cut off, and the rest so dispirited that they all forsook him, except Sir Gilbert Hay, and a few of their vassals and de- pendants. In the midst of these distressing cireumstances Robert's natural fortitude and ardour remained unshaken. He encouraged his few faithful fol- lowers with prospects of future success; and, to beguile the heaviness of their gloom, he related the adventures of brave princes and warriors who had triumphed over similar reverses.

The arts, which had long been on the decline, received a severe blow from the Persian invasion; and many of the finest buildings were mutilated or destroyed. Numerous artificers were sent to Persia, and, with the encouragement required for the very existence of art, Egypt had lost the skill for which she was once so conspicuous.

''I gesse'' is a favourite expression of Chaucer's, and the sense he sometimes gives it is very finely distinguished from the regular Yankee use. But though it is good old English, it is not good new English. If we use the phrase—parenthetically, that is, like Chaucer and the Yankees—, we have it not from Chaucer, but from the Yankees, and with their, not his, exact shade of meaning. It must be recognized that they and we, in parting some hundreds of years ago, started on slightly divergent roads in language long before we did so in politics. In the details of divergence, they have sometimes had the better of us. ''Fall'' is better on the merits than ''autumn'', in every way: it is short, Saxon (like the other three season names), picturesque; it reveals its derivation to every one who uses it, not to the scholar only, like ''autumn''; and we once had as good a right to it as the Americans; but we have chosen to let the right lapse, and to use the word now is no better than larceny. The other side of this is that we are entitled to protest when any one assumes that because a word of less desirable character is current American, it is therefore to be current English. There are certain American verbs that remind Englishmen of the barbaric taste illustrated by such town names as Memphis and those mentioned in the last section. A very firm stand ought to be made against ''placate'', ''transpire''<ref>Even in the legitimate sense (see p. {{TOC link|22|Chapter 1|8}}), originally a happy metaphor for mysterious leaking out, but now vulgarized and 'dead'.</ref>, and ''antagonize'', all of which have English patrons. There is a real danger of our literature's being americanized, and that not merely in details of vocabulary—which are all that we are here directly concerned with—but in its general tone. Mr. Rudyard Kipling is a very great writer, and a patriotic; his influence is probably the strongest that there is at present in the land; but he and his school are americanizing us.

The great depth, however, of no less than 1400 fathoms, which intervenes between Candia and the mainland of Tripoli, offers a difficulty to the view that the land has been sunk to that depth since ''Hippopotamus Pentlandi'' lived in that island, and it cannot be quoted in favour of the continuity of land in that direction rather than towards Europe. The interval of a depth of sea of not more than 500 fathoms between it and Greece seems to me to imply that the island has been an appanage of Europe; and this conclusion is considerably strengthened by the recent discovery of ''Hippopotamus Pentlandi'' at Megalopolis, by Dr. Rolleston. I have therefore, in the Map, adopted the 500 fathom line as roughly indicating the ancient sea-margin. The absence of the peculiar fauna of the caves of Malta in those of Sicily implies that the two areas were insulated from each other during the time that the pigmy Elephants and giant Dormouse were living in the former, and the African Elephant in the latter; for if this had not been the case the two faunas would have been likely to be mingled in regions which are now so nearly alike in climatal conditions. It is very possible that they may belong to two different stages of the Pleistocene; but this point cannot be decided until the Pleistocene faunas of Greece, Africa, and Asia Minor have been carefully compared and classified. The ''Elephas antiquus'' of Sicily points to a connexion by land with Italy, just as the ''Elephas africanus'' does to a connexion with Africa. The striped Hyæna of the South of France and the Hippopotamus are Pliocene animals which survived into the Pleistocene age, and do not necessarily imply a direct continuity with Africa at the latter age; and the Lion and the Panther are as likely to have been derived from Asia as from Africa, since they now live on both those continents. The Chamois and the Ibex are most probably of North-Asiatic extraction, since they enjoy a climate that is not offered by the North-African continent. Of the rest of the animals it can only be said that they were unknown in Europe before the beginning of the Pleistocene age. In the Map (p. 436) I have represented the geography of the Mediterranean as implied by these animals, and corroborated in a striking degree by the evidence of the soundings. The barrier of land along which the African animals passed, on the one hand, into Spain, and on the other into Italy, is represented by portions of the sea-bottom which still stand far above the bottom of the Tyrrhenian and Ionian basins; and the depth is far less between the Morea and Candia than between the latter and Africa. The effect of a mass of land stretching, with but a slight break at the Mediterranean area, from the range of the Atlas to the extreme north of Europe, must necessarily have tended to produce extremes of climate similar to those which we now witness in masses<noinclude></noinclude> 32idj7r1s9ogr9fqogp3ign2st3jmoz Page:Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, vol. 28.djvu/538 104 3469291 12507043 10924745 2022-07-24T19:04:26Z Mike s 915588 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Mike s" />{{rh|444|{{asc|PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.}}|[June 5,}}</noinclude>typical of the European Pliocene<ref>Palæont.

The Pliocene animals, therefore, inhabiting Northern Italy are more closely allied to those of Auvergne than to those of Montpellier. If these three localities be taken as typical of the Pliocene strata, we shall find that several of the species range as far north as Britain, and occur in deposits which, from the evidence of the mollusca, have been assigned to that age. ''Mastodon arvernensis, Elephas meridionalis,'' and ''Ursus arvernensis,'' have been obtained from the old land-surface which underlies the sand and shingle of the Norfolk Crag, in company with many forms of Deer and Antelopes which have not yet been identified, while the ''Hipparion'' is found in the marine crags of Suffolk. The animals which especially characterize the Pliocene strata of Europe are ''Machærodus cultridens, Mastodon arvernensis,'' and ''M. Borsoni,'' besides the genus ''Tapir''. If this Pliocene fauna be compared with that of the Preglacial Forest-bed, it will be seen that the difference between them is very great. The Pliocene Mastodon Tapir, the majority of the Cervidæ, and the Antelopes are replaced by forms such as the Roe and the Red Deer, unknown up to that time. Nevertheless many of the Pliocene animals were able to hold their ground against the Pleistocene invaders, although, subsequently, as I have already shown, they disappeared one by one, being ultimately beaten in the struggle for existence by the new comers. The progress of this struggle has been used in the preceding pages as a means of classification. {{dhr}} {{c|20. {{sc|Conclusion.}}}} The following are the salient points of the Pleistocene age offered by the study of the land Mammalia in the area north of the Alps, and Pyrenees. {{c|''The Pleistocene Period.''

Mr. {{sc|Flower}} considered that both on geological and palæontological grounds the ossiferous caves and the river-deposits were separable, and ought to be separated, and that no satisfactory results would be obtained by placing in the same category the Mammalian remains of a hundred and fifty rivers and a great number of caves of widely different ages and characters. Mr. {{sc|Evans}} observed that in generalizations of this kind not only the whole of the palæontological evidence should be taken into account, but the stratigraphical also. With regard to the author's middle division of the mammalia, he thought that eventually this would have to be modified. If it were to be maintained there would be a great difficulty in accounting for the presence of the high beds at Shacklewell and Highbury, as these, though in a valley confessedly excavated by the river, and regarded as of more recent age than the lower beds, would yet be at a far higher level. Though accepting the probable existence of man in preglacial times, he pointed out that up to the present time the beds in Britain in which his works had been found were all postglacial. Mr. {{sc|Boyd Dawkins}}, in reply, stated that, in forming his conclusions, he had not left out of view the evidence afforded by the classes of remains other than those of mammalia; but they threw no light on the classification. With regard to the middle of his divisions of the Pleistocene mammalia, he relied to a great extent on the presence of ''Rhinoceros megarhinus'', and of a large number of Stags, to say nothing of the absence of the Reindeer. He did not attach so much importance to the question of the level, as in some cases (for example the Forest-bed of Norfolk) it was not a test of age. He gave his reasons for not regarding the Mammoth as an exclusively arctic animal. His remarks with regard to M. Lartet's classification referred rather to the expanded views of his followers than to those of M. Lartet himself. He acknowledged his obligations to MM. Gaudry, Fraas, Rütimeyer, and Nilsson for various facts which they had been kind enough to communicate to him. {{dhr}} {{rule|4em}} {{dhr}} {{c|{{sc|June}} 19, 1872.}} Richard Anderson, Esq., F.C.S., Uddingstone, near Glasgow; Lieut.

Neither could he draw that distinction between the beds at Erith and Grays and those higher up the Thames, which found favour with the author. The barrier offered by the river itself might to some extent account for the absence of Reindeer; and though there was a difference in the fauna in the two cases, it seemed hardly enough to mark any great distinction in time. As for the Hippopotamus, which occurred over the whole of Northern Europe, associated with the Musk-ox and large boulders, he could not see how the conclusion was to be escaped of its having been able to withstand greater cold than its present representative. Though the winters might have been colder, there was evidence in favour of the summers having been warmer; and the flora seems to have been much like that of the present day. The probable migrations of the different animal groups had already been pointed out by M. Lartet, though Mr. Dawkins had carried his investigation of the subject further. Mr. Prestwich called attention to the fact of the Mammoth having been found in Italy. Mr. {{sc|Charlesworth}} regretted that the author had not included within his province any of the marine Crag-deposits, some of which had been regarded as Pleistocene.

The following list is taken from Prof. Gervais's great work 'Zoologie et Paléontologie Françaises,' p. 349, the term Pseudo-pliocene merely implying that the fauna differs from that of the marine deposit of Montpellier, which he takes as his standard. {{c|''Pseudo-pliocene of Issoire.''}} {{fs90/s}} {{Multicol|align=center}} {{block center|Hystrix refossa.<br> Castor issiodorensis.<br> Arctomys antiqua.<br> Arvicola robustus.<br> Lepus Lacosti.<br> Mastodon arvernensis.<br> Tapirus arvernensis.<br> Rhinoceros elatus?<br> Bos elatus.<br> Cervus polycladus.}} {{Multicol-break}} {{block center|Cervus ardens.<br> C. cladocerus.<br> C. issiodorensis.<br> C.

The migration of the first two groups into Europe at the close of the Pliocene age throws a very great light on the ancient geography. Had not the animals which lived in Europe during the Pliocene age been insulated by some physical barrier from those which invaded Europe from Asia, the latter would occur in our Pliocene strata as well as the former, and we might have had the mammoth and the mastodon associated here as well as in North America. Such a barrier is offered by the northern extension of the Caspian along the low-lying valley of the river Obi; and that the Caspian has extended further north than now in comparatively modern times has been proved by Dr. Pallas. It is therefore very probable that this was the barrier which divided the Pliocene mammalia of Europe from those animals which were living at the time in Asia, and which subsequently passed into Europe. The animals of Northern and Central Asia could not pass westwards before this barrier was removed by the elevation of the sea-bottom between the Caspian sea and the southern portion of the Urals. When this took place the Musk-shrew, Lemming, Brown and Grizzly Bears, Mammoth, Woolly Rhinoceros, Musk-sheep, Reindeer, Stag, and Roe passed over into Europe<ref>This is very nearly the same view as that held by Dr. Brandt, Imp. Acad. St. Petersb., 'Zoogeographische und Paläontographische Beitrage,' April 4, 1867. See also Lartet, 'Comptes Rendus,' tome lxvi. p. 409.</ref>, those of them which were fitted for a temperate or moderately warm climate, such as the Stag, Roe, Brown and Grizzly Bears, passing down to the extreme southwest, while the rest did not go further to the south than the Alps and Pyrenees. Then there must have been a continuous mass of land extending from Northern Asia to the margin of the Atlantic, which has been proved by Mr. Godwin -Austen and others to have passed from Scandinavia to the west of the present coast-line of Ireland, of the south of England, and of France. [See Map, p. 436.] {{dhr}} {{c|18. {{sc|The Southern Extension of Europe.}}}} The same argument may be based on the African mammalia. The African Elephant could not have found its way northwards to Spain and Sicily, or the Serval to Spain, or the ''Felis caffer'' to Britain without an extension of the African mainland, so as to allow of the migration; and the same may be said perhaps of the Spotted Hyæna, although this animal, so widely spread through Central and Southern Europe, may have arrived by way of Asia Minor, as well as by a direct line, passing through Sicily and Gibraltar. Nevertheless, as Dr. Falconer has remarked, the area of the Mediterranean must have been very much smaller than it is now during the time that Malta, Sicily, and Candia were inhabited by the Pleistocene mammalia. The presence of ''Hippopotamus Pentlandi'' in these three islands proves that they were connected during the life-time of the animal; and this mass of land would afford a passage northwards to the African mammalia.

But indeed, from the ethical point of view which looks merely or mainly to character, the comparison is little less than an insult to the Laureate; and from the purely intelligent or æsthetic point of view I should be disposed to say, or at least inclined to think, that the comparison would be hardly less unduly complimentary to the Chancellor. For at the very opening of these ''[[Explorata, or Discoveries]]'', we find ourselves in so high and so pure an atmosphere of feeling and of thought that we cannot but recognize and rejoice in the presence and the influence of one of the noblest, manliest, most honest and most helpful natures that ever dignified and glorified a powerful intelligence and an admirable genius.

'That which happens to any man, may to every man. But it is in his reason what he accounts it and will make it' There is perhaps in the structure of this sentence something too much of the Latinist—too strong a flavour of the style of [[Author:Tacitus|Tacitus]] in its elaborate if not laborious terseness of expression. But the following could hardly be bettered. {{dhr}} {{fine block/s}}No man is so foolish but may give another good counsel sometimes; and no man is so wise but may easily err, if he will take no other's counsel but his own.

Admitting the ignoble fact that without such 'arts' as 'tillage, spinning, weaving, building, &c.,' 'we could scarce sustain life a day,' a proposition which it certainly would seem difficult to dispute, he proceeds in the loftiest tone of professional philosophy: 'But these were the works of every hand; the other of the brain only, and those the most generous and exalted wits and spirits, that cannot rest or acquiesce. The mind of man is still fed with labour: ''{{lang|la|opere pascitur}}''.' This conscientious and self-conscious pride of intellect finds even a nobler and more memorable expression in the admirable words which instruct or which remind us of the truth that 'it is as great a spite to be praised in the wrong place, and by the wrong person, as can be done to a noble nature.' A sentence worthy to be set beside the fittest motto for all loyal men—{{lang|la|'Æqua laus est a laudatis}}<noinclude></noinclude> jl1yfufbms5zhk8foxz48yx9lolsc0v Page:A study of Ben Jonson (IA studyofbenjonson00swinrich).pdf/145 104 3624116 12507561 11249557 2022-07-24T23:40:11Z Maile66 219883 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Maile66" />{{rvh|135|''Discoveries''|''A Study of Ben Jonson''}}</noinclude>{{lang|la|laudari et ab improbis improbari}}.' Which it would be well that every man worthy to apply it should lay to heart, and act and bear himself accordingly. It is to be wished that the dramatist and humourist had always or had usually borne in mind the following excellent definition or reflection of the aphoristic philosopher or student: 'A tedious person is one a man would leap a steeple from, gallop down any steep hill to avoid him; forsake his meat, sleep, nature itself, with all her benefits, to shun him.' What then shall we say of the courtiers in ''[[Cynthia's Revels]]'' and the vapourers in ''[[Bartholomew Fair]]''?

In the admirable note on such 'foolish lovers' as 'wish the same to their friends as their enemies would,' merely that they might have occasion to display the constancy of their regard, there is a palpable and preposterous misprint, which reduces to nonsense a remarkably fine passage; 'They make a causeway to their courtesy by injury; as if it were not honester to do nothing than to seek a way to do good by a mischief.' For the obviously right word 'courtesy' the unspeakable editors read 'country'; which let him explain who can.

Yet I can repeat whole books that I have read, and poems of some selected friends, which I have liked to charge my memory with. It was wont to be faithful to me; but, shaken with age now, and sloth, which weakens the strongest abilities, it may perform somewhat, but cannot promise much. By exercise it is to be made better, and serviceable. Whatsoever I pawned with it while I was young, and a boy, it offers me readily, and without stops: but what I trust to it now, or have done of later years, it lays up more negligently, and oftentimes loses; so that I receive mine own (though frequently called for) as if it were new and borrowed. Nor do I always find presently from it what I seek: but while I am doing another thing, that I laboured for will come; and what I sought with trouble will offer itself when I am quiet.

The Bodhisattva, however, had repressed his powerful anger by the power of his tranquillity, and was sewing his rags just as before without the slightest perturbation, as calm and serene as ever. To him the king spoke : 18. 'Threatening words of indignation and anger you uttered in a loud and strength-betraying voice, but now, on seeing that beauty ravished before your eyes, you keep quiet and are cast down because you have no power. 19. 'Why, show your wrath, either by the strength of your arm or by the splendid power you have accumulated as the result of your penance. He who, not knowing the compass of his own faculties, takes an engagement he cannot keep, such a one loses his splendour, you know.' The Bodhisattva replied: 'Know that I did keep my engagement, Your Majesty. 20. 'He who was ready in that case against me To act and struggled—I did not release him. But kept him down, made him by force be quiet, So you must own that I made true my promise.' That excessive firmness of mind of the Bodhisattva, proved by his tranquillity, did not fail to inspire the king with respect for the virtues of the ascetic. And he began to reflect : 'This Brâhman must have hinted at something else, speaking thus, and I, not understanding his mind, committed a rash action.' This reflection arising within him, induced him to ask the Bodhisattva : 21. 'Who was that other who acted against you and was not released by you, however much he struggled, no more than rising dust is by a rain-cloud ? Whom did you quiet then?' The Bodhisattva answered: 'Hearken, great prince. 22.

Are we to lose such productions as "The Wyfe of Auchtermuchtie," because, forsooth, there may be two words in it that one would not choose to read aloud in a mixed company? Ritson has done a good deal for the preservation of our lyrical lore; Johnson has done more; and as both their works are wearing scarce, it would surely be a good speculation to republish them together, with such omissions or additions as a man of judgment might see meet. I look upon Johnson's Museum as the most valuable collection of that nature that ever was made in our country—not so much on account of the songs, (for many of them are now to be found in other collections) as for the great mine of original music which it contains. Many of these tunes, it is true, have been since modernised, and certainly are improved by the symphonies, graces, and accompaniements, that have been added; still the preservation of them in their simple and original state is a laudable and desirable object; and there is no doubt but an enlarged edition of that work, wherein elegance and utility might be conjoined, is a desideratum in the vocal and musical miscellanies of the day. Observing that you had set out on your miscellaneous career, with the resuscitation of some valuable old poetic lore, I have thrown these few cursory remarks together, in hopes they may be instrumental in bringing to light some more relics of the pastoral, romantic, and rustic poetry of former ages, which you will do well to preserve, and of which the collectors of songs and music may afterwards avail themselves to their own advantage, and the cause of song in general. If simplicity be the last refinement, and the highest excellence to which a poet can reach, then these lyrical effusions of our ancestors possess it in a very high degree—true, it is not always elegant simplicity, but it is better than pompous affectation. Every thing in the universe moves in a circle till the two extremes meet; thus the highest refinement returns again to where it set out—the walks of simple nature.

My friend, soon after his purchase of the estate, began the arduous but judicious operation of trenching down the sand, and bringing to the surface the original black mould. These operations of improvement were so productive, as to induce the very intelligent and enterprising proprietor to undertake, lately, a still more laborious task; viz. to trench down the super-incumbent sand, on a part of the property where it was no less than eight feet deep.

Grant that I may not fear the threats and annoyances of men, but may strive with all my might to imitate Thee in bearing the reproach of the Cross. Arm me against the inordinate desires of the flesh; and grant that, by fitting correction, I may crucify its evil lusts; may wash away my past faults by abundant tears of contrition, and may never deliberately yield to any further assaults of the evil one. Finally, I pray that in every spiritual conflict, and in every trial that may be laid upon me. Thou wouldest succour and defend me from the snares of the enemy, by holding above me Thy life-giving Cross. Set up though It was to put Thee to shame, may It be to me an ever-present help; that so I may render to Thee with faithful lips the sacrifice of thanks and praise for victory won under its shadow! {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> b30jc9b4e7ljqtdrpvqtcw1pvc0iqmv Template:Gadget info 10 3722198 12508275 11615368 2022-07-25T11:16:04Z Xover 21450 Why <sup>?

I'll soon need to figure out some concept for those huge tables. Perhaps one can't really transcribe them exactly as they are with the templates we have. Let's see. [[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 16:31, 4 December 2021 (UTC) == Thank you for the Hebrew help, and a question == Actually, you may have answered it already. One reason for my work on this Thayer's Lexicon is noticing several copies of it on the web that have obvious errors. One was "to stiffer sadly" instead of "to suffer sadly". Obvious scanno. As I complete a series of pages here, I go back and compare against copies elsewhere, such as [https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g76/tr/tr/0-1/ BlueLetterBible]. This is *great* as it catches a lot of _my_ typos while I'm trying to catch _their_ typos. (The digital copy they have is from decades ago, when first digitized by Biblesoft (?)) If you'll look at that page you'll see their inline Hebrew quotes. Two of them contain a letter I ''think'' they are missing the pointing for. ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָרִאשׁון}} ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָאַחֲרון}} And you have now entered ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָרִאשׁוֺן}} ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָאַחֲרוֺן}} which *has* the pointing I thought it should, on the letter {{hebrew|וֺ}} That other site has that one difference ''every'' time that letter occurs, in the first 75+ entries I've inspected so far! They also have a mass tragedy where every occurrence of the Koine diacritic grave accent has been converted to an acute accent, so unnoticed conversion errors there *have* happened. I was going to ask at the Scriptorium if there was a Hebrew expert around. Do you feel confident enough to say that that letter *is* broken at BLB, and should have the pointing we see in our scans? BTW: [https://archive.org/details/greekenglishlexi00grim/page/10/mode/1up Internet Archive] has a better scan for some pages. Your changes have given me great confidence I wasn't just seeing things! Thank you! [[User:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[User talk:Shenme|talk]]) 22:36, 27 January 2022 (UTC) :{{reply to|Shenme}} You're welcome. It was a very interesting task for me because I'm quite new to typing Hebrew. :Certainly, the way that I have learned it, and also by looking at Gesenius's dictionary (which I use to double-check spellings in doubtful cases), I think the vowel point for "o" should be on the letter waw in the places you mention, and this is also backed by the IA scan you link to, where the vowel dot can be seen clearly. :Interestingly, when I looked at the entry Adam with the Hebrew text entered by me on another device (tablet), weirdly, this vowel dot appears too far left, nearly over the final nun instead of over waw. Perhaps BlueLetterBible avoid such weird display differences by omitting the dot altogether? Just a wild guess. [[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 07:01, 28 January 2022 (UTC) ::Thank you again! I was editing and suddenly thought "where did this Hebrew come from?" :-) ::I think it was that same character or another, where I saw the top dot positioned right, left, and middle, in different fonts. I don't 'expect' anything [https://github.com/silnrsi/font-gentium/issues/8 these days with fonts]. There are two other bugs in Microsoft fonts with Ancient Greek, and one bug is over 30 years old! I have to hope that Hebrew as a modern in-use language has no remaining bugs in fonts? ::Are you using an OS-supplied Hebrew keyboard? Looks difficult to learn on Windows. For Ancient Greek / Koine I ended up implementing an IME through Wikimedia tools that uses [[mw:User:Shenme/el-betacode|Beta code]] to do it all using Latin characters. But Ancient Greek has far fewer diacritics than Hebrew points / cantillation marks. Wow. ::Could you check [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:A_Greek_English_Lexicon_of_the_New_Testament.djvu/39&curid=3873080&diff=12107618&oldid=12102531 a change] I made? Greek had the idea of a "final s": ς vs. a normal s: σ , so I guess I wasn't too surprised to find out there is something called a "final kaf" vs. a "kaf". Did I do the right one? [[User:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[User talk:Shenme|talk]]) 22:08, 30 January 2022 (UTC) :::{{reply to|Shenme}} :-) You were right about the final kaf. There are also special final characters for nun, tsade, peh, and mem. I use the Keyman <code><nowiki>https://keyman.com/</nowiki></code> keyboard "Ancient Hebrew (hbo-Hebr-IL)". I only installed this last week. There are also a few further hints on how to type Hebrew here: [[Index:Gesenius'_Hebrew_Grammar_(1910_Kautzsch-Cowley_edition).djvu]] (Though I have not looked into all the material recommended there.) :::Over the last few days, I used "Category:Pages_with_missing_Hebrew_characters" and added Hebrew text to some of the pages listed there. There are pages where I'm out of my depth though, for instance [[Page:The_Dalston_Synagogue-an_historical_sketch.djvu/25]], where there are cantillation marks, and I don't know enough about them at the moment. :::I plan to contribute also to further pages of your project, the Greek-English lexicon.

[[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 08:29, 31 January 2022 (UTC) ::::The {{tl|Hebrew}} does end up appearing much more like the original scan, so being crazy for fidelity I'd prefer that. But using [[w:Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]] makes simple changes from one to the other easy, so whichever is comfortable for you. (more readable for the editor is a good thing?) ::::I have not tried Hebrew input but a couple times, and to do it at all is amazing to me. The one work that intrigued me was actually Yiddish, which is a separate thing (additional and altered characters), and copy-n-paste was not going to work! :-) And the mention at Gesenius of ordering for entering diacritics? For the Greek IME (has only 9 diacritics) I was determined not to have order matter, so the IME has ~1200 rules. Make it easy for the editor! ::::I have seen more than a few mentions of Gesenius' Grammar, here and elsewhere. Looks 'dense' and I'm not surprised that "which font?" is a discussion topic there also. ::::And I too looked at the missing Greek category and was surprised even easy stuff remained. But then, after switching between 4+ languages here, something like [[el:%CE%A3%CE%B5%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%B4%CE%B1:The_New_Testament_in_the_original_Greek_(1894).djvu/285|this]] is relaxing. :-) ::::Thank you again, and when I do my third review (comparing against an external text copy) I'll see if I (who, me?) can spot anything else different from scan. [[User:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[User talk:Shenme|talk]]) 21:45, 31 January 2022 (UTC) == No wrap poetry == Hello, I noticed when you proofread the poem Dawn on p. 68 of On a Grey Thread, you used nowrap. Is this something I should correct on each of the poems that look similar in this work, e.g. Chant of Spring on p. 67, or the Hole in My Curtain on p. 38, or was there something specific about this poem that led you to use nowrap? Thanks, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 20:24, 4 March 2022 (UTC) :{{reply to|TeysaKarlov}} Hi, my rationale for doing this was as follows: {{tl|ppoem}} has automatically a hanging indent of 4em for each line. (There's an example for this on the template's page.) I interpreted the indented parts of the poem ''Dawn'' as simply resulting from lines that were "too long", so a certain hanging indent was applied. But I also noticed that the end parts were carefully chosen to form some sort of meaningful phrase. So I used nowrap to make sure this "meaningful bit" gets moved to an indented new line whenever the horizontal space for the poem gets too short. :I also looked at the other solution on some of the other pages you mention, using <code>:::</code>. I think both approaches have advantages and drawbacks. :My "nowrap" approach gives better results when the poem is displayed with very little horizontal space (in my opinion). But you can also argue that the "<code>:::</code>" approach is a more faithful transcription of the original poem whenever the screen is broad enough. :I don't think you should correct this. If anything, since there are fewer pages where nowrap is used, these should be changed.--[[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 18:50, 5 March 2022 (UTC) ::@[[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] Changes made, and thanks for the detailed response, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 20:05, 5 March 2022 (UTC) == Page:Diuers voyages touching the discouerie of America - Hakluyt - 1582.djvu/126 == Hi there.

[[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 16:31, 4 December 2021 (UTC) == Thank you for the Hebrew help, and a question == Actually, you may have answered it already. One reason for my work on this Thayer's Lexicon is noticing several copies of it on the web that have obvious errors. One was "to stiffer sadly" instead of "to suffer sadly". Obvious scanno. As I complete a series of pages here, I go back and compare against copies elsewhere, such as [https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g76/tr/tr/0-1/ BlueLetterBible]. This is *great* as it catches a lot of _my_ typos while I'm trying to catch _their_ typos. (The digital copy they have is from decades ago, when first digitized by Biblesoft (?)) If you'll look at that page you'll see their inline Hebrew quotes. Two of them contain a letter I ''think'' they are missing the pointing for. ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָרִאשׁון}} ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָאַחֲרון}} And you have now entered ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָרִאשׁוֺן}} ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָאַחֲרוֺן}} which *has* the pointing I thought it should, on the letter {{hebrew|וֺ}} That other site has that one difference ''every'' time that letter occurs, in the first 75+ entries I've inspected so far! They also have a mass tragedy where every occurrence of the Koine diacritic grave accent has been converted to an acute accent, so unnoticed conversion errors there *have* happened. I was going to ask at the Scriptorium if there was a Hebrew expert around. Do you feel confident enough to say that that letter *is* broken at BLB, and should have the pointing we see in our scans? BTW: [https://archive.org/details/greekenglishlexi00grim/page/10/mode/1up Internet Archive] has a better scan for some pages. Your changes have given me great confidence I wasn't just seeing things! Thank you! [[User:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[User talk:Shenme|talk]]) 22:36, 27 January 2022 (UTC) :{{reply to|Shenme}} You're welcome. It was a very interesting task for me because I'm quite new to typing Hebrew. :Certainly, the way that I have learned it, and also by looking at Gesenius's dictionary (which I use to double-check spellings in doubtful cases), I think the vowel point for "o" should be on the letter waw in the places you mention, and this is also backed by the IA scan you link to, where the vowel dot can be seen clearly. :Interestingly, when I looked at the entry Adam with the Hebrew text entered by me on another device (tablet), weirdly, this vowel dot appears too far left, nearly over the final nun instead of over waw. Perhaps BlueLetterBible avoid such weird display differences by omitting the dot altogether? Just a wild guess. [[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 07:01, 28 January 2022 (UTC) ::Thank you again! I was editing and suddenly thought "where did this Hebrew come from?" :-) ::I think it was that same character or another, where I saw the top dot positioned right, left, and middle, in different fonts. I don't 'expect' anything [https://github.com/silnrsi/font-gentium/issues/8 these days with fonts]. There are two other bugs in Microsoft fonts with Ancient Greek, and one bug is over 30 years old! I have to hope that Hebrew as a modern in-use language has no remaining bugs in fonts? ::Are you using an OS-supplied Hebrew keyboard? Looks difficult to learn on Windows. For Ancient Greek / Koine I ended up implementing an IME through Wikimedia tools that uses [[mw:User:Shenme/el-betacode|Beta code]] to do it all using Latin characters.

Wow. ::Could you check [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:A_Greek_English_Lexicon_of_the_New_Testament.djvu/39&curid=3873080&diff=12107618&oldid=12102531 a change] I made?

I only installed this last week. There are also a few further hints on how to type Hebrew here: [[Index:Gesenius'_Hebrew_Grammar_(1910_Kautzsch-Cowley_edition).djvu]] (Though I have not looked into all the material recommended there.) :::Over the last few days, I used "Category:Pages_with_missing_Hebrew_characters" and added Hebrew text to some of the pages listed there.

The one work that intrigued me was actually Yiddish, which is a separate thing (additional and altered characters), and copy-n-paste was not going to work! :-) And the mention at Gesenius of ordering for entering diacritics? For the Greek IME (has only 9 diacritics) I was determined not to have order matter, so the IME has ~1200 rules. Make it easy for the editor! ::::I have seen more than a few mentions of Gesenius' Grammar, here and elsewhere. Looks 'dense' and I'm not surprised that "which font?" is a discussion topic there also. ::::And I too looked at the missing Greek category and was surprised even easy stuff remained.

Is this something I should correct on each of the poems that look similar in this work, e.g. Chant of Spring on p. 67, or the Hole in My Curtain on p. 38, or was there something specific about this poem that led you to use nowrap? Thanks, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 20:24, 4 March 2022 (UTC) :{{reply to|TeysaKarlov}} Hi, my rationale for doing this was as follows: {{tl|ppoem}} has automatically a hanging indent of 4em for each line. (There's an example for this on the template's page.) I interpreted the indented parts of the poem ''Dawn'' as simply resulting from lines that were "too long", so a certain hanging indent was applied. But I also noticed that the end parts were carefully chosen to form some sort of meaningful phrase. So I used nowrap to make sure this "meaningful bit" gets moved to an indented new line whenever the horizontal space for the poem gets too short. :I also looked at the other solution on some of the other pages you mention, using <code>:::</code>. I think both approaches have advantages and drawbacks. :My "nowrap" approach gives better results when the poem is displayed with very little horizontal space (in my opinion). But you can also argue that the "<code>:::</code>" approach is a more faithful transcription of the original poem whenever the screen is broad enough. :I don't think you should correct this.

[[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 16:31, 4 December 2021 (UTC) == Thank you for the Hebrew help, and a question == Actually, you may have answered it already. One reason for my work on this Thayer's Lexicon is noticing several copies of it on the web that have obvious errors. One was "to stiffer sadly" instead of "to suffer sadly". Obvious scanno. As I complete a series of pages here, I go back and compare against copies elsewhere, such as [https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g76/tr/tr/0-1/ BlueLetterBible]. This is *great* as it catches a lot of _my_ typos while I'm trying to catch _their_ typos. (The digital copy they have is from decades ago, when first digitized by Biblesoft (?)) If you'll look at that page you'll see their inline Hebrew quotes. Two of them contain a letter I ''think'' they are missing the pointing for. ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָרִאשׁון}} ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָאַחֲרון}} And you have now entered ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָרִאשׁוֺן}} ::{{hebrew|אָדָם הָאַחֲרוֺן}} which *has* the pointing I thought it should, on the letter {{hebrew|וֺ}} That other site has that one difference ''every'' time that letter occurs, in the first 75+ entries I've inspected so far! They also have a mass tragedy where every occurrence of the Koine diacritic grave accent has been converted to an acute accent, so unnoticed conversion errors there *have* happened. I was going to ask at the Scriptorium if there was a Hebrew expert around. Do you feel confident enough to say that that letter *is* broken at BLB, and should have the pointing we see in our scans? BTW: [https://archive.org/details/greekenglishlexi00grim/page/10/mode/1up Internet Archive] has a better scan for some pages. Your changes have given me great confidence I wasn't just seeing things! Thank you! [[User:Shenme|Shenme]] ([[User talk:Shenme|talk]]) 22:36, 27 January 2022 (UTC) :{{reply to|Shenme}} You're welcome. It was a very interesting task for me because I'm quite new to typing Hebrew. :Certainly, the way that I have learned it, and also by looking at Gesenius's dictionary (which I use to double-check spellings in doubtful cases), I think the vowel point for "o" should be on the letter waw in the places you mention, and this is also backed by the IA scan you link to, where the vowel dot can be seen clearly. :Interestingly, when I looked at the entry Adam with the Hebrew text entered by me on another device (tablet), weirdly, this vowel dot appears too far left, nearly over the final nun instead of over waw. Perhaps BlueLetterBible avoid such weird display differences by omitting the dot altogether? Just a wild guess. [[User:Tylopous|Tylopous]] ([[User talk:Tylopous#top|talk]]) 07:01, 28 January 2022 (UTC) ::Thank you again! I was editing and suddenly thought "where did this Hebrew come from?" :-) ::I think it was that same character or another, where I saw the top dot positioned right, left, and middle, in different fonts. I don't 'expect' anything [https://github.com/silnrsi/font-gentium/issues/8 these days with fonts]. There are two other bugs in Microsoft fonts with Ancient Greek, and one bug is over 30 years old! I have to hope that Hebrew as a modern in-use language has no remaining bugs in fonts? ::Are you using an OS-supplied Hebrew keyboard? Looks difficult to learn on Windows. For Ancient Greek / Koine I ended up implementing an IME through Wikimedia tools that uses [[mw:User:Shenme/el-betacode|Beta code]] to do it all using Latin characters.

Wow. ::Could you check [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:A_Greek_English_Lexicon_of_the_New_Testament.djvu/39&curid=3873080&diff=12107618&oldid=12102531 a change] I made?

I only installed this last week. There are also a few further hints on how to type Hebrew here: [[Index:Gesenius'_Hebrew_Grammar_(1910_Kautzsch-Cowley_edition).djvu]] (Though I have not looked into all the material recommended there.) :::Over the last few days, I used "Category:Pages_with_missing_Hebrew_characters" and added Hebrew text to some of the pages listed there.

The one work that intrigued me was actually Yiddish, which is a separate thing (additional and altered characters), and copy-n-paste was not going to work! :-) And the mention at Gesenius of ordering for entering diacritics? For the Greek IME (has only 9 diacritics) I was determined not to have order matter, so the IME has ~1200 rules. Make it easy for the editor! ::::I have seen more than a few mentions of Gesenius' Grammar, here and elsewhere.

Is this something I should correct on each of the poems that look similar in this work, e.g. Chant of Spring on p. 67, or the Hole in My Curtain on p. 38, or was there something specific about this poem that led you to use nowrap? Thanks, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 20:24, 4 March 2022 (UTC) :{{reply to|TeysaKarlov}} Hi, my rationale for doing this was as follows: {{tl|ppoem}} has automatically a hanging indent of 4em for each line. (There's an example for this on the template's page.) I interpreted the indented parts of the poem ''Dawn'' as simply resulting from lines that were "too long", so a certain hanging indent was applied. But I also noticed that the end parts were carefully chosen to form some sort of meaningful phrase. So I used nowrap to make sure this "meaningful bit" gets moved to an indented new line whenever the horizontal space for the poem gets too short. :I also looked at the other solution on some of the other pages you mention, using <code>:::</code>. I think both approaches have advantages and drawbacks. :My "nowrap" approach gives better results when the poem is displayed with very little horizontal space (in my opinion). But you can also argue that the "<code>:::</code>" approach is a more faithful transcription of the original poem whenever the screen is broad enough. :I don't think you should correct this.

About twelve years ago, in making the deep dry moat (60 to 70 feet deep) on the south side of the Verne Fort, numerous large fissures, some open at bottom but closed at top, and some entirely filled with debris, were met with, traversing the Portland stone in a direction nearly north and south; and in the open ones, amongst a talus of broken fragments of rock, there were found<ref>Damon, ''op. cit.'' p. 130.</ref> numerous bones belonging to wild boar (a very large species), ox (a large species), deer, horse, wolf, sheep, and several small animals. In addition to these there were in the collection, when I visited it, a skull and bones of red deer, a metacarpal bone of ''Cervus megaceros'' (?), skull of ''Bos longifrons'', and skull of dog. All the bones are rather light, white, and do not adhere to the tongue. There is reason to believe that they are all of comparatively recent date, and have fallen into the crevices while they were open to the surface. Mr. Damon also notices the occurrence of gravel with teeth and bones of the mammoth at Radipole, and of a drift with land and marine shells in the cliff, 10 to 12 feet above high watermark, at the mouth of the Preston valley<ref>This latter I could not find. It may have been removed by the wear of the cliff. Mr. Osmond Fisher, however, informs me that elephant-remains have been found at low water on the shore at Preston.</ref>. This, I believe, embraces all the information we have on the superficial deposits of this district. I had visited Portland in 1863, when, in consequence of some extensive quarrying which had been temporarily carried on to the west side of the Bill, some remarkable sections of the raised beach, varying considerably from the better-known portions on the east side, had then been recently laid open. A visit I made last autumn of a few weeks to Weymouth has enabled me to examine it more in detail, and to notice other phenomena connected with the Quaternary deposits, which I think of sufficient interest to lay before the Society. The general features of the district are well known. The bold chalk escarpment, 500 to 600 feet in height, of the Isle of Purbeck, ranges to the coast at Lulworth, passes westward, four miles north of Weymouth, to near the sea at Abbotsbury, where it turns inland and northward. A lower undulating triangular tract of Jurassic strata stretches from the base of the last half of this line southward to Portland (see Map, Pl. I.). At a short distance from its southern extremity stands Weymouth. None of this tract rises higher than from 250 to 300 feet, while near Weymouth the hills are generally not more than from 50 to 100 feet in height, and the narrow neck of land connecting Portland with the mainland would be on the sea-level, were it not for the Chesil beach, which rests on it and rises 40 feet above that level. At the end of the narrow neck of land the Isle of Portland rises abruptly to the height of 500 feet at the Verne, from which point it forms a gradual incline to the Bill, a distance of four miles, where the cliff ends with a height of 25 feet. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> pddd76j6qm59layoixe290cnanfkgnp Page:Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, vol. 31.djvu/77 104 3785594 12507896 12358159 2022-07-25T04:45:26Z Mike s 915588 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Mike s" />{{rh||{{asc|IN THE ISLE OF PORTLAND AND AROUND WEYMOUTH.}}|31}}</noinclude>We thus have the elevated range of the chalk on the one side, and on the other the high and nearly precipitous cliffs of Portland, with an intervening area at a lower level, presenting almost every- where a bare denuded surface of Jurassic strata. {{dhr}} {{c|''Portland Mammaliferous Drift'' (''f'' on Map and Sections, PI. I.).}} The Isle of Portland also exhibits a singularly bare and denuded surface, with the exception of one small spot on the top of the island, which was discovered in the progress of quarrying (it has now been nearly removed) in the eastern part of the Admiralty quarries. I was obligingly conducted to the section by Capt. Clifton, Governor of the convict prison, in whose collection I had seen some specimens from it which were new to me, and to whom I am indebted for many particulars of the deposit, which he had noted before its removal. It was from this spot, we may presume, that Mr. Neale obtained his specimens. The ground is here about 400 feet above the sea-level, and a few hundred yards south of the Verne, where the summit-level is reached at a height of 500 feet. The Portland stone is extensively quarried; and over it is a capping of from 10 to 15 feet of unfossiliferous Lower Purbeck. The mammalian drift occupied an irregular trough in the Purbeck and upper part of the Portland beds. Capt. Clifton informs me that, when first discovered, the deposit occupied a depression in these rocks, with a surface level with theirs. It was from 10 to 20 feet thick, with a width of from 50 to 60 yards, and extended N.E. and S.W. for a distance of from 200 to 300 yards. I found the remaining part of it in patches between, and spread over, the large waterworn blocks and surface of the upper Portland rock. The deposit consisted of a red clay or loam, passing into a coarse loess, in places full of angular local ''débris'' of the Portland and Purbeck beds, together with a considerable number of small blocks (some a quarter of a ton in weight) of the hard sandstone or sarsen-stone<ref>Much worn and stained reddish brown, and sometimes blackened by oxide of manganese.</ref> of the Lower Tertiaries. At a few places this was underlain by a singular layer of pebbles, waterworn and perfectly rounded, and in a matrix of sand and red loam mixed with a large proportion of peroxide of manganese, whilst they were occasionally cemented together in a thin layer of calcareous spar. The pebbles so encased presented a perfectly clean and bright surface, as though they had been artificially polished. In this deposit I found:— 1. Small round flint pebbles ~) Origin. 2.

The large number of Rats destroyed is also worthy of note; it is evident they received from the gamekeepers the attention they deserve, whereas now their natural enemies are assiduously destroyed, but the Rats, secure in the quiet of the covert, increase to an enormous extent, and many an empty nest is the result. Mr. Gurney says:—"I have a cutting from a newspaper of the year 1811, by which it appears that at the Suffolk Gamekeepers' Annual Meeting, held at Bury on December 9th of that year, a prize was given to one Sharnton as the most successful gamekeeper. He had the looking over (with two underkeepers) of 4000 acres, but in what parishes the manor lay is not stated; evidently, however, it was in Suffolk. Sharnton gave in an account of vermin destroyed by him and his assistants in twelve months, which I think may be worthy of a place in the records of our Naturalists' Society, as bearing on the existence of the Marten in Suffolk, sixty -five years ago. His account is as follows:—Foxes, 22; Martens (spelled 'Martins'), 43; Polecats, 31; Stoats, 416; Crows and Magpies, 120; Hawks of all kinds, 167; Field Rats, 310; Brown Owls, 13; Wild Cats, 7."—{{sc|{{al|Thomas Southwell|T.

The odds at starting seemed against the bird, and the railway officials predicted that the little messenger would be beaten in the race. The pigeon, however, as soon as it ascertained its bearings, took the nearest homeward route in a direction midway between Maidstone and Sittingbourne, the distance, "as the crow flies," between Dover and London being 70 miles, and by rail 76½ miles.

Herbert Carpenter, B.A., orally demonstrated from diagrams the gist of a well-illustrated memoir by him, "On the Genus ''Actinometra'' (Müll), with a Morphological Account of a new Species from the Phihppine Islands." In his MS. the author shows the impossibility of adhering to Miiller's classification of the ''Comatulæ,'' according to the number of the ambulacra which radiate' from the peristone, and the necessity of extending the limits of Müller's genus ''Actinometra,'' so as to include all those forms of ''Alecto,'' in which the mouth is eccentric, and which have no place in the genus ''Antedon'' as defined by Mr. Norman. Another feature of many ''Actinometræ'' is the complete closure of the ambulacral grooves on more or fewer of the posterior or aboral arms, and the entire absence from such arms of a ventral ciliated epithelium, and of the so-called ambulacral nerve beneath it. The rosette of ''Actinometra'' presents a more embryonic condition than that of ''Antedon,'' the primitive basals undergoing a less complete metamorphosis; but it is closely anchylosed to fine prismatic pieces, which result from more or less complete ossification round the connective tissue-fibres of the synostosis between the centro-dorsal piece and radial pentagon. These pieces, traces of which also occur in ''Antedon Eschrichtii'' are closely similar to the fine basals of ''Solanocrinus costatus'' of the Wurtemburg Jurakalk, except in the fact that they do not as in ''Solanocrinus'' appear on the exterior of the calyx. In the absence of the author, the Secretary shortly referred to a "Description of Genera and Species of Australian Phytophagous Beetles," by Dr. Joseph S. Baly. In this communication fourteen species, in all, of the genera ''Triocephala, Rhombostromus, Bucharis, Polyachus'' and ''Ditiopidus'' are treated of. The title only of Mr. R. Bowdler Sharpe's third part of his "Contributions to the Ornithology of New Guinea" was announced, the author himself not being present. This was followed by Dr. W.C. M'Intosh's paper, "On the ''Annelida'' obtained during the Cruise of H.M.S. 'Valorous' to Davis Strait in 1875." The specimens were collected by Dr. Gwyn Jeffreys, though barely in such good condition as those received from the 'Porcupine' and 'Osprey' Expeditions. Since the days of Fabricius, the Annelids of the Greenlandic Seas have received unusual attention in comparison with those of other parts, Œrsted, Malmgren, Otto Zorell, Luthen and others having added considerably to the number known. Though, by an unfortunate circumstance, the dredging received a check, and limited the species of marine ''Polychata'' to about sixty-eight, yet of this comparatively small number thirteen are new to the Greenlandic area, and in addition nine are new to ecience. As far as at present can be judged by the Annelids, Dr. Jeffreys' opinion, that the Greenlandic Invertebrates are more European than American, is substantiated.

Douglas exhibited a living specimen of ''Cerambyx Heros'' bred from a log of wood imported from Bosnia; also a young larva of the same species from the same source. Prof. Westwood exhibited a number of cases constructed by the larva of some species of ''Phryganea'' inhabiting Southern Europe. They were composed of small semi-transparent quartz-like particles, and had been described by Svvainson in 1840 as a shell belonging to the genus ''Thelidomus,'' div. ''Turbineæ.'' Prof. Westwood also exhibited a specimen of a plant-bug (''Capsidæ'') which had been sent to him by Mr. Alexander Wallace, together with the leaf of an orchis (''Cattleya Aclande''), from Bahia. The leaf was covered all over with blisters caused by the attacks of the insect. Mr. Jenner Weir exhibited a female specimen of ''Cicada montana,'' taken in his presence in the New Forest by Mr. Henry Auld, who stated that he was attracted to the spot where the insect was concealed by hearing it stridulate. Mr. J.W. Douglas suggested that possibly the specimen caught did not give rise to the sound heard, but that it was produced by a male concealed near. Mr. Weir remarked that he had searched for the stridulating organ in the specimen exhibited, and had found traces, although developed but slightly in comparison with those of the male. Mr. S. Stevens exhibited two living specimens of ''Tillus unifasciatus,'' taken near Norwood.

In the present case, however, this would scarcely be fair, for a glance only is needed to show that the editor has nearly doubled the size of the work by extending the boundaries of the region treated of, from the twenty-eighth parallel of latitude (the limit originally fixed by the author) to the Zambesi on the east coast, and the Quanza on the west coast of Africa. It should be remembered also that when Mr. Layard wrote his book, in 1867, he did so under great disadvantages. Far removed from European libraries and collections, he was prevented from making many references and comparisons that were most desirable, and in many cases he had to rely upon naturalists at home for the identification of the rarer and more obscure species. In view of these difficulties, the wonder is that his shortcomings have proved to be so few. It may be truly said that, with the exception perhaps of Jerdon's 'Birds of India,' no work has done more for the Ornithology of a country than this of Mr. Layard's, and no greater proof of its utility can be found than the large increase in the number of workers who have commenced original researches in Ornithology since it appeared. In preparing this new edition, it is evident that Mr. Sharpe has bestowed upon it considerable time and trouble. Not content with revising the text so as to bring it lo a level with the knowledge of the present day, he has carefully gone through all the works bearing on the subject published prior to the first edition, and has reproduced the excellent notes by Mr. Ayres on the birds of Natal which Mr. Layard for want of space was compelled to omit. Especial pains seem to have been taken with the geographical distribution, the range of the various birds being carefully traced throughout the different districts of South Africa. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> jza0uut9jaix4y7ucymal6af4sbfiub Page:The Zoologist, 3rd series, vol 1 (1877).djvu/13 104 3809906 12506456 11929965 2022-07-24T13:43:25Z Dick Bos 15954 typo proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Dick Bos" />{{RH||CONTENTS.|vii}}</noinclude>{{hi|{{sc|[[Author:John Henry Gurney Jr.|Gurney, J.H., Jun.]]}}, F.Z.S.<br />Varieties of the Sky Lark, Woodcocks frequenting the sea-shore, 181; Cuckoo in reddish brown plumage in spring, 230; On the claim of the Pine Grosbeak to be regarded as a British bird, 242; Birds impaled by the wind on weather vanes, 259; Kite at Northrepps, 260; Singular variety of the Hedgesparrow, 298: The Collared Duck, 341; Hooded Crow in Norfolk in August, 443; Purple Gallinule at Hickling Broad, 447; Partridge coming in collision with a train, 448}} {{hi|{{sc|Hadfield,}} Capt. {{sc|Henry}}<br />Ornithological notes from the Isle of Wight, 23; Rooks attacking acorns, 105; Winter visitants to the Isle of Wight, 181: Reported occurrence of the Wild Cat in the Isle of Wight, 338; Pied Flycatcher and other birds in the Isle of Wight, 440; Crested Lark in the Isle of Wight, 450}} {{hi|{{sc|Harding, Isaac}}<br />Ring Ouzel nesting near Malvern, 387; Pied Flycatcher nesting near Malvern, 389}} {{hi|{{sc|Hargitt, Edward}}<br />Marten-cat in Scotland, 392}} {{hi|{{sc|Harper, R.P.}}<br />King Duck in Orkney, 183}} {{hi|{{sc|[[Author:James Edmund Fotheringham Harting|Harting, J.E.]]}}, F.L.S., F.Z.S.<br />Editor's Address, 1; On the occurrence for the first time in England of the American Redbreasted Thrush, 14; Rabbits breeding above ground, 18; Rooks attacking acorns, 21; Tree Sparrow nesting in Middlesex, 24; On the geographical distribution of the Fallow Deer past and present (translated from the German of L.H.

[We are extremely sceptical in regard to the alleged existence of Wild Cats in the South of England at the present day, and, notwithstanding the colour and large size of many of the animals killed, we cannot help regarding them as of hearth-rug ancestry. We should like to know what our readers in the New Forest have to say on the subject.—{{sc|Ed.}}] {{sc|Purple Gallinule in Somersetshire.}}—On visiting the British Museum, a few days since, I carefully looked at the different species of ''Porphyrio'' in the National Collection, the result being that I satisfied myself tliat my Irish example is not the small ''Porphyrio Martiniquii,'' but the South European ''P. veterum.'' I have read Mr. Smith's remarks on the specimen of this ''Porphyrio'' obtained in Somersetshire, and as he objects to regard it as a straggler to this country, he is bound to bear the ''onus probandi,'' and to bring forward something more than a mere surmise that it is only a bird that has escaped from confinement. Unless, as I have already remarked, there is something altogether exceptional in the bird which is met with at large, it is, in the absence of proof to the contrary, fairly entitled to be ranked as a voluntary straggler to this country. The facilities of importation which exist at the present time, which are rendering this country what Pericles claimed Athens to be, the emporium of the whole world, and that, so far as concerns living specimens of foreign animals as well as the ordinary spoils of merchandize, must not be stretched too far to account for every unusual bird found wild in our woods and fields. To do this is greatly to destroy the romance of British Ornithology. The attitude of the ornithologist in this country should be one of general expectation. From the situation of this island, it offers a natural resting-place to birds which may have lost their reckoning in their migrations both from the Old and the New World. To pronounce, then, of any new-comer to the British list that " it is only an escape" is to cast a damper upon this expectant feeling, and to abandon the peculiar fortune with which the position of this country has enriched its naturalists. It is for this reason, chiefly, that I decline to retire from my defence of the Somersetshire Purple Gallinule, and to ask Mr. Smith to furnish proofs that the specimen in question escaped from an aviary. Does he know of any one who, residing not far from the locality of its capture, happened about that time to lose so rare a bird? Even if he did, I might enquire for certain marks of confinement which all birds, however handsomely treated in the aviary, are almost sure to exhibit; dull, soiled, or abraded plumage; less brilliancy in the coloration of the softer<noinclude></noinclude> r538wretuqbljfx0sacihs5wtijuq23 Page:The Zoologist, 3rd series, vol 1 (1877).djvu/367 104 3847277 12506551 11956964 2022-07-24T14:21:19Z Dick Bos 15954 cleanup ocr proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Dick Bos" />{{RH||OCCASIONAL NOTES.|341}} {{fine block/s}}</noinclude>egg in a Blackbird's nest (see Yarrell's 'British Birds'), I think it is of sufficiently rare occurrence to be recorded.

He also adds a useful note concerning the best method of preserving these soft and delicate creatures. The abstract of a "Monograph of the Gymnozoidal Discostomatous Flagellata, with a new Scheme of Classification of the ''Protozoa''," by Mr. W. Saville-Kent, was read by the Secretary. In this communication the writer places on record the results of his extended investigations among that remarkable "collar-bearing" group of the flagellate ''Infusoria'' first introduced to scientific notice by the late Prof. H. J. Clark of Pennsylvania, in 1868. By Mr. Kent's researches, the group is now made to embrace no less than eight well-marked genera and about forty species, in place of the two genera and four species first introduced by Prof. Clark. The majority of the members of this group are sedentary in their habits, being attached in a sessile manner by a pedicle to aquatic objects. Compound colonies are frequently produced, rivalling in luxuriance, &c,, colony stalks of ''Epistylis,'' &c., among higher ciliate ''Infusoria.'' Some are characterized by inhabiting transparent Coricæ, after the manner of ''Vaginicola,'' and others rove freely through the water. All are of such minute size as to require a magnifying power of at least 500 diameters for their investigation, and possibly to this circumstance they may so long have escaped the attention of observers. The chief significance that attaches to the collar-bearing group in question is the circumstance, first recognized by Prof. J. Clark, that similar animalcules constitute the fundamental basis and the essential living units of all known Sponges. This identity of structure, confirmed by the investigations of Mr. Carter, has been followed up in Mr. Kent's memoir, and is held by him to be subversive of Prof. Haeckel's theory as to the coelenterate nature of Sponges. Mr. Kent further submits a proposition for a new classification of the subkingdom ''Protozoa,'' which he divides into four leading natural groups of equal value, the distinctive features of which are afforded by the characters of the oral or interruptive area. These Protozoan groups are termed by him, (1) ''Olostomata,'' (2) ''Polystomata,'' (3) ''Discostomata,'' and (4) ''Monostomata.'' Another paper, which may be considered as appertaining to a zoological moot subject, was read by Prof. Charlton Bastian, ''viz.,'' "On the Conditions favouring Fermentation and the Appearances of ''Bacteria''." In this the author puts his matter in a fourfold aspect:—1. He makes known in detail certain experimental conditions which he has found to be highly favourable to the occurrence of fermentation in boiled fluids.{{gap|1em}}2. He records fresh instances of the occurrence of fermentation in boiled acid fluids, which according to M. Pasteur invariably remain barren.{{gap|1em}}3. He brings forward certain crucial evidence upon the disputed interpretation of the fertility of boiled neutral or faintly alkaline fluids.{{gap|1em}}4. He adduces further instances of fermentation of fluids heated to 230° Fahr. and upwards. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> gbuqt5te23juwb5wyovgvgg8r0zt8ds Page:The Zoologist, 3rd series, vol 1 (1877).djvu/375 104 3851336 12507126 11968083 2022-07-24T19:54:20Z Dick Bos 15954 cleanup ocr proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Dick Bos" />{{RH||PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES.|349}}</noinclude>Mr. J.P. Mansell Weale read notes "On Variations in Rhopalocerous forms inhabiting South Africa." The author, after stating that he had travelled over most of the eastern districts of the Cape Colony, alluded to the distribution of plants as affecting that of insects, and noticed the apparent encroachments of the subtropical flora and insect fauna along the south-eastern seaboard, the absence of any great barriers and the general uniformity tending to produce close variations. He exhibited and remarked on a large series of ''Papilio merope,'' male and female, some reared by him, and all collected in one small wooded gully, isolated in an open grass country. He also exhibited male and female ''Nymphales xiphares'' (''Thyestes''), the male of which is wanting in the National Collection, remarking on the apparent imitation by the female of ''Amauris Echeria.'' He next exhibited and remarked on a series of imagines of ''Aeræa Esetria,'' some of the forms of which are separated by some entomologists, and stated that all the forms had been reared from larvae collected on a single plant. He next exhibited a series of ''Innonia Pelasgis'' and ''Archesia,'' showing a very close gradation linking the two forms, and showed that some of the latter approached ''I. Amestris'', although the alliance was not so evident as in ''I. Pelasgis.'' He objected to the use of the name "species" as too freely used among plants and insects, and suggested that it merely implied a provisionally uncertain distinction of apparently important differences. In illustration of this, he exhibited specimens of ''Callosune Evarne'' and ''Keiskamma,'' two forms hitherto held distinct, but of which the ova, larvæ and pupæ exhibited no differences, although in two broods in successive years the forms appeared separately. He also remarked on artificially produced changes in the pupæ. Prof. Westwood stated that he had just received collections of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera from South Africa, collected by Mr. Gates. The Secretary read a letter from Mr. W.G. Gibson, of Dumfries, stating that ''Colias Edusa'' had made its appearance in that district during the month of June, and suggesting that its occurrence might be accounted for by the large importation of foreign clover. Prof. Westwood stated that Mr. Alexander Wallace had informed him that both ''Colias Edusa'' and ''Hyale'' were very common about Colchester in June. Prof. Westwood brought under the Society's notice the recent accounts of the appearance of the Colorado beetle in Ontario and near Cologne. Mr. May handed in a copy of the Memorandum issued by the Canadian Minister of Agriculture in relation to this insect. Part II. of the 'Transactions' for 1877 was on the table.—{{sc|R.

For speculation turnes not to it selfe, Till it hath trauail'd, and is married there Where it may see it selfe: this is not strange at all. ''Vlis.'' I doe not straine it at the position, It is familiar; but at the Authors drift, Who in his circumstance, expresly proues That no may is the Lord of any thing, (Though in and of him there is much consisting,) Till he communicate his parts to others: Nor doth he of himselfe know them for ought, Till he behold them formed in th'applause, Where they are extended: who like an arch reuerb'rate The voyce againe; or like a gate of steele, Fronting the Sunne, receiues and renders backe His figure, and his heate. I was much rapt in this, And apprehended here immediately: The vnknowne ''Aiax''; Heauens what a man is there? a very Horse, That has he knowes not what. Nature, what things there are. Most abiect in regard, and deare in vse. What things againe most deere in the esteeme, And poore in worth: now shall we see tomorrow, An act that very chance doth throw vpon him? ''Aiax'' renown'd? O heauens, what some men doe, While some men leaue to doe! How some men creepe in skittish fortunes hall, Whiles others play the Ideots in her eyes: How one man eates into anothers pride, While pride is feasting in his wantonnesse To see these Grecian Lords; why, euen already, They clap the lubber ''Aiax'' on the shoulder, As if his foote were on braue ''Hectors'' brest, And great ''Troy'' shrinking. ''Achil.'' I doe beleeue it: For they past by me, as mysers doe by beggars, Neither gaue to me good word, nor looke: What are my deedes forgot? ''Vlis.'' Time hath (my Lord) a wallet at his backe, Wherein he puts almes for obliuion: A great siz'd monster of ingratitudes: Those scraps are good deedes past, Which are deuour'd as fast as they are made, {{anchor|Tennysonianap87}}Forgot as soone as done: perseuerance. deere my Lord, Keepes honor bright, to haue done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rustie male, In monumentall mockrie: take the instant way, For honour trauels in a straight so narrow, Where one but goes a breast, keepe then the path: For emulation hath a thousand Sonnes, That one by one pursue; if you giue way, Or hedge aside from the direct forth right; Like to an entred Tyde, they all rush by, And leaue you hindmost: Or like a gallant Horse falne in first ranke, Lye there for pauement to the abiect, neere Ore-run and trampled on: then what they doe in present, Though lesse then yours in past, must ore-top yours: For time is like a fashionable Hoste, That slightly shakes his parting Guest by th'hand; And with his armes out-stretcht as he would flye, Graspes in the commer: the welcome euer smiles, And farewels goes out fighing: O let not vertue seeke Remuneration for the thing it was: for beautie, wit, High birth, vigor of bone, desert in seruice, Loue, friendship, charity, are subiects all To enuious and calumniating time: One touch of nature makes the whole world kin: That all with one consent praise new borne gaudes, Though they are made and moulded of things past, And goe to dust, that is a little guilt, More laud then guilt oredusted. The present eye praises the {{reconstruct|present}} obiect: Then maruell not thou great and compleat man, That all the Greekes begin to worship ''Aiax''; Since things in motion begin to catch the eye, Then what not stirs: the cry went out on thee, And still it might, and yet it may againe, If thou would'st not entombe thy selfe aliue, And case thy reputation in thy Tent; Whose glorious deedes, but in these fields of late, Made emulous missions 'mongst the gods themselues, And draue great ''Mars'' to faction. ''Achil.'' Of this my priuacie, I haue strong reasons. ''Vlis.'' But'gainst your priuacie The reasons are more potent and heroycall: 'Tis knowne ''Achilles'', that you are in loue With one of ''Priams'' daughters. ''Achil.'' Ha? knowne? ''Vlis.'' Is that a wonder? The prouidence that's in a watchfull State, Knowes almost euery graine of Plutoes gold; Findes bottome in th'vncomprehensiue deepes; Keepes place with thought; and almost like the gods, Doe thoughts vnuaile in their dumbe cradles: There is a mysterie (with whom relation Durst neuer meddle) in the soule of State; Which hath an operation more diuine, Then breath or pen can giue expressure to: All the commerse that you haue had with Troy, As perfectly is ours, as yours, my Lord. And better would it fit ''Achilles'' much, To throw downe ''Hector'' then ''Polixena''. But it must grieue yong ''Pirhus'' now at home, When fame shall in her Iland sound her trumpe; And all the Greekish Girles shall tripping sing, Great ''Hectors'' sister did ''Achilles'' winne; But our great ''Aiax'' brauely beate downe him. Farewell my Lord: I as your louer speake; The foole slides ore the Ice that you should breake. ''Patr.'' To this effect ''Achilles'' haue I mou'd you; A woman impudent and mannish growne, Is not more loth'd, then an effeminate man, In time of action: I stand condemn'd for this; They thinke my little stomacke to the warre, And your great loue to me, restraines you thus: Sweete, rouse your selfe; and the weake wanton ''Cupid'' Shall from your necke vnloose his amorous fould, And like a dew drop from the Lyons mane, Be shooke to ayrie ayre. ''Achil.'' Shall ''Aiax'' fight with ''Hector''? ''Patr.'' I, and perhaps receiue much honor by him. ''Achil.'' I see my reputation is at stake, My fame is shrowdly gored. ''Patr.'' O then beware: Those wounds heale ill, that men doe giue themselues: Omission to doe what is necessary, Seales a commission to a blanke of danger, And danger like an ague subtly taints Euen then when we sit idely in the sunne.

St.John writes thus at the end of his Gospel (21, 15): ‘‘There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written!” Christian revelation is, therefore, only partly contained in Holy Scripture. In His ''Discourse with Nicodemus'' our Lord has revealed to us the chief truths of the Christian religion. 1. ''The Holy Trinity.'' The words of our Lord imply that there are three Persons in God: God the Father, who gave His only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, of whom man must be born again. 2. ''The Incarnation.'' The only-begotten Son of God, who came into the world, is also the Son of Man, the divine and human natures being in Him united in one Person. 3. ''The Sufferings of Christ.'' “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.” Jesus therefore knew definitely from the beginning that He would die on the Cross; and His bitter Passion and Death were ever before Him! To offer Himself on the Cross was the object of His Incarnation! 4. ''The Object of His Passion and Death'' is also clearly stated in the words: “that the world may be saved by Him”, and “that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish, but may have life everlasting”. He willed to suffer and die in order to save man from eternal loss, and obtain happiness for him. He died for all men, and is therefore the Redeemer of the whole world. 5. ''The infinite Love of God.'' Why was it the will of the Son of God to redeem us? What was the motive of His Incarnation and Death? It was, in a word, His infinite and divine love for man. “God so loved the world as to give His only-begotten Son!” What! God, the Most Holy, loved the world, laden with sin and a curse! He loved the men who had offended Him and turned against Him millions of times. And He loved them so much as to give for them all that was greatest and dearest, even His only-begotten Son, to suffer for them humility, poverty, persecution, and even a miserable death upon the Cross! O, unfathomable and inconceivable love of God! 6. ''The necessity of Baptism.'' Only he who is born again of water and of the Holy Ghost has any part in the kingdom of God. By Baptism man becomes a member of God’s kingdom upon earth, i. e. the Church of Jesus Christ, and an heir of God’s kingdom in heaven. Thus Baptism is absolutely necessary to salvation. 7. ''Original sin.'' The words of our Lord testify to the existence of original sin. They suppose that by our natural birth we have not that spiritual divine life in our soul which was given to our first parents in Paradise, and consequently that we have lost the principle of that<noinclude></noinclude> 530nw9n8ibz9qc6w3680c7x5120qd8m Page:The Worm Ouroboros - 1922.djvu/2 104 3919488 12507723 12351131 2022-07-25T01:52:46Z Reboot01 2805164 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Reboot01" /></noinclude>{{missing image}}<noinclude></noinclude> 1nqgui7uw69dqubn67adzkpksimv8i1 12507725 12507723 2022-07-25T01:53:51Z Reboot01 2805164 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Reboot01" /></noinclude>{{c|[[File:OuroborosFrontispiece.jpg|200px]]}}<noinclude></noinclude> bldd7vth4dozrqt6r8393cpm9581edm 12507732 12507725 2022-07-25T02:00:06Z Reboot01 2805164 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Reboot01" /></noinclude>{{c|[[File:OuroborosFrontispiece.jpg|200px]]}}<noinclude></noinclude> 3eg0fc33e6kvq87wrshylza9pk6bp3e Page:The Worm Ouroboros - 1922.djvu/3 104 3919489 12507724 12351133 2022-07-25T01:53:44Z Reboot01 2805164 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Lizardcreator" /></noinclude>{{c|[[File:OuroborosFrontispiece.jpg|200px]]}}<noinclude></noinclude> 0hq9evjil9akckoik8iobllm8ow09kv Page:Sacred Books of the Buddhists Vol 1.djvu/235 104 3923020 12506554 12234401 2022-07-24T14:22:21Z Balajijagadesh 316019 Adding trailing {{nop}} to break paragraph at the page boundary. proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Balajijagadesh" />{{rvh|199|XXII. THE STORY OF THE HOLY SWANS.|''G''ÂTAKAMÂLÂ.}}{{rule}}</noinclude>99. 'Mayst thou, then, rule thy land with righteousness, and may the Lord of the Celestials have thee in his guard! But though thy presence purifies those who rest on thee, yet must I leave thee now. The sorrow of my fellow-swans draws me to them, so to speak.' The king and all those present approved of the words spoken by the Bodhisattva. Then he dismissed both excellent swans in the most honourable and kind terms. The Bodhisattva mounted upward to the sky, which, adorned by the serene beauty of autumn, was as dark-blue as a spotless sword-blade, and followed by Sumukha, his commander-in-chief, as by his reflected image, joined his tribe of swans. And those, by the very sight of him, were filled with the utmost gladness. 100. And after some time that swan, a passionate lover as he was of compassion for his neighbour, came back to the king with his swans, and discoursed to him on the Law of Righteousness. And the king with respectfully bowed head in return honoured him. In this way, then, the virtuous, even when in distress, behave in such manner as cannot be imitated by the impious; how much less are the latter able to follow up the conduct of the virtuous, when favoured by fortune! [This story is also to be adduced, when praising pious language: 'In this manner a pious language conduces to the good of both <ref>Viz. the speaker and the listener.</ref>.' Likewise, when treating of pious friends : In this manner they who possess a pious friend will be successful even in dangerous circumstances.' Also to exemplify the fact of the presbyter Ananda having been a companion (to the Lord) still in previous births : 'So this presbyter sharing the vicissitudes of the Bodhisattva, cherished affection and veneration (for the Lord) for a long, long time.'] {{nop}}<noinclude>{{rule}} {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> a3ldk8svj43zsp72rcq0cnhkyj1sctj Index:A Treatise on Painting.djvu 106 3931302 12507448 12444192 2022-07-24T22:23:14Z Chrisguise 2855804 proofread-index text/x-wiki {{:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template |Type=book |Title=''[[A Treatise on Painting]]'' |Language=en |Volume= |Author=[[Author:Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo da Vinci]] |Translator=[[Author:John Francis Rigaud|John Francis Rigaud]] |Editor= |Illustrator= |School= |Publisher=Printed for J.

Nicodemus being a man of high character, among his fellow citizens, and afraid of the censures of the world, came during the night, for instructions to Christ. He came in this private manner, "for fear of the Jews," for his mind probably revolted at the idea of appearing among the unlettered and poor disciples of the Man-God. How many thousands have lost their immortal souls by indulging this feeling! How many at this moment indulge it! Do not imitate their example, but say with St Paul, " I am not ashamed of the Gospel." (Rom. i. 16.) Confess God both confidently, and openly, for Christ says: "Whosoever shall be ashamed of Me, and of My words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His majesty." (Luke ix. 26.) II. As an affectionate master, Christ accommodated Himself to the weakness of His disciple, and instructed him in many important points. He informed him of the necessity of baptism; of the causes of His coming into the world; of His passion, that was to ensue; and of the necessity of faith for salvation. Give God thanks for this information, which is equally communicated to you, and ponder in a particular manner, the benefit of spiritual regeneration. "You must be born again." (John iii. 7.) Consider, also, the greatness of God's love for the world, " For God so loved the world, as to give His only begotten<noinclude></noinclude> tv13i0duvw94zq0r8euz3buohhqktgw Page:Meditations For Every Day In The Year.djvu/436 104 3961066 12507499 12336542 2022-07-24T22:57:24Z Bobdole2021 2943726 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Bobdole2021" /></noinclude>her arm." (Prov. xxi. 17.) Spiritual activity is a certain mark that the soul is cured of its diseases. Examine your conscience, and judge it by this rule. {{c|{{larger|SATURDAY. }} '''Cure of the Ruler's Son. }} I. " There came to Him a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum and prayed Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death." (John iv. 46.) Remark how advantageous corporal infirmities are for they force us to have recourse to God. Unless his son had been afflicted with sickness, perhaps the ruler had never been brought to Christ. It is related of Manasses, " that after he was in distress he prayed to the Lord his God, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God." (2 Par. xxxiii. 12, 13.) Do not fail, therefore, to consider corporal infirmities as blessings of God and incitements to virtue. " Their infirmities," says the Psalmist, "were multiplied, afterward they made haste." (Ps. xv. 4.) II. In answer Christ reprehends those, who wish to see miracles from motives of curiosity, or incredulity. He refused besides to go to the house of the ruler, because we ought not to prescribe to God the means or manner of assisting us. He nevertheless cures this young man, although absent, the more to manifest His power and strengthen our faith in it. He is the Divine Being, "who commands the saving of Jacob." (Ps. xliii. 5.)

" Go show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift, which Moses commanded for a testimony to them." (Matt. viii. 4.) The law of Moses reserved to the priests, both the judgment of the leprosy itself in case of doubt, and its cure. Remark, how observant Christ was of the law, and how He honored and respected the priests, however malicious they might be toward Him. He has granted much greater prerogatives to the priests of the new law, who have the power of healing every kind of spiritual leprosy. Therefore, as often as you feel yourself infected with this spiritual disorder, "go and show yourself to the priests." III. According to the ancient law, the leper had to make an offering. He was commanded, after having cut off his hair and washed his clothes and himself, to offer in sacrifice, a lamb without spot. Let your offering be a sacrifice of praise; as often as you return from the sacrament of penance, "offer to God a sacrifice of praise." (Ps. xlix. 14.) You can offer the spotless Lamb of God, by hearing Mass. {{c|{{larger|WEDNESDAY. }} '''Cure of the Ten Lepers.— I. }} I.

This stranger, by being grateful for his corpora! health, received a still greater favor, the cure of his soul. He was converted to the gospel, which Christ preached; hence Christ says, "Arise, go thy way, for thy faith has made thee whole." The other nine, as St. Augustine fears, were probably lost. " For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's ice, and shall run off as unprofitable water." (Wis. xiv. 29.) Take care then to be always grateful to God, for the benefits which you receive. {{c|{{larger|FRIDAY. }} '''Cure of the Deaf and Dumb Man. - I.}} I. Whilst Christ was passing through Galilee, " they bring to Him one that was deaf and dumb, and they besought Him lay His hand on him." (Mark vii. 32.) Ponder how meritorious an action it is, to bring others to Jesus Christ, and endeavor by every means consistent with your state and calling, to bring to Him those, who are spiritually deaf and dumb. What is spiritual deafness? He is spiritually deaf, who will not listen to the truths of faith, nor to the voice of God when He calls him to virtue and perfection. Examine whether you be not in some respect spiritually deaf, and do not shut your ears to the voice of God; fear lest the terrible words be addressed to you, " then shall they call upon Me, and I will not hear." (Prov. i. 28.) II. What is spiritual dumbness? He is spiritually dumb, who does not correct his brother, when by doing so, he can prevent him from sinning. He also is spiritually dumb, who does not preach the Word of God, when it is his duty, or make open profession of his faith,<noinclude></noinclude> 1mqcjsnx1gw03e9srt3u5q804h6pq3k Page:Meditations For Every Day In The Year.djvu/453 104 3961084 12507447 12336564 2022-07-24T22:21:05Z Bobdole2021 2943726 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Bobdole2021" /></noinclude>when the honor of God, his own or neighbor's good requires it. Lastly, he labors under this spiritual complaint, whose tongue is not employed in the praises of God, in the exercises of devotion and pious conversations. "Wo is me," says the prophet, " because I held my peace." (Is. vi. 6.) And, " you that are mindful of the Lord hold not your peace." (Is. lxii. 6.) III. Christ did not reject this poor distressed man, but took him aside and cured him. You also must retire from the noise and bustle of the world if you wish to be cured. You must prepare yourself by prayer and spiritual exercises. Observe how He cured this man, not by His word or command, as He cured others, but "He put His fingers in his ears, and spitting He touched his tongue." (Mark vii. 33.) Christ performs His cures in very different manners, and exercises His followers in a very different way. Submit yourself to His holy guidance and Divine pleasure in all things, and by this means you will be cured of all your infirmities. {{c|{{larger|SATURDAY}} '''Cure of the Deaf and Dumb Man.— II. }} I. After Christ had pronounced the words, " Be opened, immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right." (Mark vii. 34.) It is a sign that our ears are opened, when we do not contradict, nor resist Divine inspirations, but with all humility obey them. "The Lord hath opened my ear," says the prophet, "and I do not resist." (Is. l. 5.)

(John ix. 2.) Learn from this, that sicknesses and calamities are not always sent as punishments of sin, but to give us opportunities of increasing the glory of God, by our virtuous submission. Such was the case with holy Job, Tobias and others, in which cases, " I must work the works of Him that sent me," observes Jesus Christ, " whilst it is day," that is, whilst the day of this mortal life lasts. With much more reason ought you to perform the same works, whilst you live, before "you go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death." (Job x. 21.) III. " Christ spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle and spread the clay upon his eyes." He applied a remedy suited by its nature rather to injure than to cure, in order to show His power. If you wish to be relieved from the spiritual blindness of your soul, frequently think of the base materials of which you are formed. Remember, man, that " dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return." (Gen. iii. 19.) {{c|{{larger|TUESDAY. }} '''The Man Born Blind.— II. }} I. This poor man was grateful for the favor which he had received from Christ. He published loudly to the world, " That man, who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed my eyes." (John ix. 11.)

Such are the resolution and patience of a soul, which is enlightened by the grace of God. Examine how you may imitate this man. II. That man was immediately driven out of the synagogue, for speaking so well of Christ. Learn to suffer willingly in a good cause, for " all who will live piously in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution." (2 Tim. iii. 12.) Christ did not abandon this man, whom the Pharisees had rejected, but went to see him and revealed His divinity to him, " and the man, falling down, adored Him." (John ix. 38.) Often excite yourself to similar acts of faith, and adore your God, in an humble posture. III. Christ reproved the pride of the Pharisees, who. were nevertheless wise and quick-sighted in their own opinions. " For judgment," He says, "I am come into this world, that they who see not may see, and they who see may become blind." (John ix. 39.) The poor and simple are to become acquainted with the truth, but the proud and the wise ones of this world will be struck blind at the greatness of Christ's splendor. Hence the author of the Proverbs advises us, " Be not wise in thine own conceits" (Pro. iii. 7), lest becoming blind, thou run headlong into perdition. {{c|{{larger|WEDNESDAY. }} '''The Blind Man of Jericho. }} I.

Among friends all things are in common. It is recorded of the friendship which existed between David and Jonathan: "The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David." (1 Kings, xviii. 1.)

By the sea, says St. Gregory, interpreting this passage, " is meant the world." III. " Christ, taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise." (Luke viii. 54.) Thus He raises up sinners from their sins, holds them by the hand, and directs them to good works. " And He bade them to give her to eat," to show you that those who rise from a state of sin must receive the spiritual food of the Eucharist, to prevent them from relapsing.

Imagine that this young man addresses you in the language Of Ecclesiasticus: "Remember my judgment, for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to-day for thee." (Ecclus. xxxviii. 22.)

It was on this claim that Fred Westfield is said to have found auriferous quartz at about the same time as Kelly found it on the Golden Treasure. From the time of its discovery the shoot of stone was energetically worked. The original company drove three adit levels on it, which proved the shoot to be about 200 ft. long and up to 6 ft. in width. The first crushing from it was, like all the others from the locality, put through the Westland Company’s battery. This was in 1872; and mining and crushing were carried on regularly till 1879, during which period 2,027 tons were treated for a return of 1,279 oz. gold, an average of 12·6 dwt. per ton. A further 342 oz. gold were recovered in 1880, but, as the tonnage crushed for that year is not definitely known, this has not been taken into consideration in arriving at the average values. The stone above No. 3 adit having been by this time exhausted, the mine was practically abandoned, and little was done on it till 1894, when Messrs. Knight and party, who held the claim on tribute from that year till 1896, reopened the old levels, and also drove an adit at a higher level than the Victoria No. 1, in which they located a block of stone. This party, during the time it worked the ground, mined 925 tons of quartz, which was crushed for a yield of 473 oz. gold, an average of 10·22 dwt. per ton. From the termination of this tribute the claim lay idle again till 1903, when Mr. P. N. Kingswell, who had acquired it a year or so previously, extended the No. 4 Inglewood adit (originally driven by the Phoenix Gold-mining Company) into the Victoria ground. This adit was only 40 ft. below the old No. 3 Victoria adit, but it enabled a further quantity of stone to be mined from the Victoria shoot between 1903 and 1907. What the exact amount of this stone was is, however, not now ascertainable, the figures being lumped in the returns with those dealing with the Phoenix and Inglewood shoots, which were both operated on by Mr. Kingswell during those years, but the developments are said not to have been satisfactory. In 1908 the claim, together with that held by the other companies mentioned, came into the hands of a Reefton syndicate, which disposed of it to the Wellington Mines Syndicate, which merged in the following year into the New Murray Creek Gold-mining Company. This latter company thereafter pursued a vigorous policy of development, pushing the No. 5 Inglewood adit (otherwise known as the Battery level), the first portion of which was driven conjointly by the Inglewood and Phoenix Companies, into the Victoria shoot, and sinking a three-compartment main working-shaft. This shaft, which was sunk to a depth of 540 ft., had its collar on the same level as the portal of No. 4 Inglewood adit. At the depth of 220 ft. it was connected with the battery level, and two further levels, Nos. 6 and 7, were opened from it at 400 ft. and 540 ft. respectively from the shaft-collar. Between Nos. 4 and 5 levels the shoot was broken up by faulting, but on Nos. 6 and 7 levels being extended to the Victoria ground the shoot was picked up in both of them and was found to be about 200 ft. longer than it appeared to be in the surface adits. On these lower levels it was about 400 ft. in length. The company started crushing operations in 1914, and continued them till about the end of 1919, during which time 30,631 tons of quartz were treated for a yield of 19,072 oz. 8 dwt. gold, an average of 12·45 dwt. per ton. The value of the gold was £75,850 16s. 4d. As neither the Inglewood nor Phoenix shoots had been picked up on Nos. 6 or 7 levels, the whole of this quartz came from the Victoria shoot, and the bulk of it from<noinclude></noinclude> 08tiesqo618xepmgffxb7qq5cmcdyxd Page:Downey•Quartz·Reefs·West·Coast•1928.pdf/60 104 3969740 12507138 12504134 2022-07-24T20:00:10Z David Nind 1530872 Changed straight apostrophe to a curly one proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Jen8000" />{{c|62}}</noinclude>removing the battery to a new site there where water-power could be used for driving the mill in place of steam-power. In view, however, of the costliness of the proposed adit, which would have had to be about 3,300 ft. in length, and of the further cost of sinking the shaft and developing the shoot on lower levels, combined with the fact that under No. 7 level two winzes had shown the shoot to be again broken up by faulting, the application was not entertained. The company then went into liquidation and the mine and plant were disposed of to a small syndicate, which in turn sold it to a new company, which, the writer understands, intends making an effort to succeed where its predecessors failed. During the time the property was held by the syndicate referred to, a tribute party of four men, led by G. Kremmer, opened out on some stone left by the former company under No. 4 adit, and crushed 161 tons for 111 oz. 6 dwt. 4 gr. gold, valued at £425 2s. 8d. Including this crushing, the quartz which it is definitely known came from the Victoria shoot since the start of operations amounted to 33,744 tons, which yielded 20,935 oz. 14 dwt. 4gr. gold, valued at £83,284, but the only dividend paid was the small distribution of £600 in 1880. ''Phoenix Mine''.—The old Phoenix Claim was next to the Victoria in a northerly direction, and gold-bearing reef was found in it very shortly after the discovery of reef in the latter. The first stone from it was crushed at the Westland Company’s battery in 1874, and during that and the following year some good returns were got. The block of ore in the claim was only about 120 ft. in length, with an average width of 3 ft. In exploiting it four adits were driven, the lowest known as the Inglewood No. 4, being driven conjointly by the Phoenix and Inglewood Companies. The last-mentioned level was about 400 ft. below the reef outcrop, and the company mined all the stone down to it. No detailed account of the crushings is available, but it is known that up till March, 1886, the company sent to the battery 2,190 tons of quartz, which yielded 2,918 oz. gold, valued at £11,272 11s. 10d., out of which £4,533 6s. was paid in dividends. This would serve to show that the stone averaged over 26 dwt. gold per ton. Very little, if any, quartz appears to have been mined from the claim for some years after 1886, but in 1887 the company joined with the Inglewood Company in driving No. 5 adit, which in the following year had reached the Inglewood shoot. The adit was not, however, carried far enough to reach the Phoenix shoot, and in 1889 the Phoenix Company merged with the other, thereby losing its identity. The Inglewood Company continued to stope the quartz from its own shoot, but for some inexplicable reason seems to have made no effort to locate the Phoenix shoot on that level, and when it had exhausted the stone from the Inglewood shoot did little work. In 1901 Mr. P. N. Kingswell purchased the Victoria, Phoenix, and Inglewood Claims, and extended No. 5 adit to the Phoenix shoot, which he subsequently stoped up to No. 4 {{SIC|audit|adit}}. He also sank a winze on the shoot for about 80 ft. below No. 5 adit, at which depth stone pinched out. The quartz showing the winze was then taken out up to No. 5 level. What tonnage was won from the shoot on this occasion there is now no means of telling definitely. During the six or seven years that he held the properties the records show that Mr. Kingswell mined and crushed 6,184 tons for a yield of 4,815 oz. gold, but it is known that some small portion of this tonnage came from the Victoria shoot on Nos. 2 and 4 adits; the figures relating to output from the different parts of the property having been lumped together, the respective quotas cannot now be determined.

In common with the other two shoots referred to, the Phoenix in 1908 became the property of the local syndicate, from whom it passed first to the Wellington Mines and then to the Murray Creek Gold-mines. The latter company, when driving No. 6 level from its shaft, carried the working well out towards the lode-line in the endeavour to pick up the Phoenix shoot, but failed to find reef. A track that was supposed to represent the downward continuation of the shoot was met with and driven on for a considerable distance, but no solid stone was found along it. When No. 7 level was opened up it was extended in the most direct line towards the Victoria shoot, no attempt being made to locate either the Inglewood or Phoenix shoots by means of it. Evidently the former was looked upon as too poor to be worth the expense the deviation of the drive would entail, and the experience on No. 6 must have led the management to the conclusion that the other shoot had disappeared for good. ''Inglewood Mine''.—The Inglewood shoot, the most northerly on Kelly’s lode series, was, like the Victoria, discovered in 1870, and the Inglewood Gold-mining Company was formed to work it. The first stone was crushed from it in 1872. The original company drove two adits on it, which proved the shoot to be about 200 ft. in length, with an average width of from 3 ft. to 4 ft., and the available records serve to show that it mined and treated 1,005 tons of quartz for a yield of 561 oz. gold, equal to 11·15 dwt. per ton. In 1879 the company absorbed the North Star Claim, which adjoined it to the north-east, and became the Inglewood and North Star Company. This company put in a third adit, known as the No. 3 Inglewood and North Star adit, and carried on operations till 1885, during which time, with the help of the Phoenix Company, it drove No. 4 Inglewood adit. Within this period 1,591 tons of stone were crushed for a return of 821 oz. gold, an average of 10·3 dwt. per ton. In the last year mentioned another reconstruction evidently took place, and the company became known as the Inglewood Extended, which name it retained till the conclusion of its operations about 1896. In 1887–88 this company, with the help again of the Phoenix Company, drove the No. 5 (battery level) in to its shoot of stone, and in the following year absorbed the latter company. What amount of quartz the company mined during these years cannot now be definitely ascertained, but a statistical record of all quartz crushed and gold won from Reefton mines, published by the Inangahua County Council, shows that up to March, 1887, the Inglewood Extended Company crushed 4,233 tons for a yield of 2,886 oz. gold, valued at £16,058, and paid in dividends £1,500. During the years 1888–96, in which latter year the company practically ceased operations, a further 5,120 tons were crushed for a yield of 2,867 oz. gold, and, as there is no reason to believe that the Phoenix shoot was operated on during the period, this output may also be credited to the Inglewood shoot. This would mean that during the working-life of the mine 11,949 tons of quartz were crushed from this shoot for a return of 7,135 oz. gold, an average of 11·86 dwt. per ton, and dividends to the amount of £2,700 were paid. The shoot was worked down to a total depth of about 500 ft. below the outcrop. It was picked up in No. 5 adit, where it was much the same length as in the upper levels, but evidently in this lower part of the mine the values were such as to leave but the barest margin of profit. Referring to the stoping above No. 5 adit, Warden Bird<ref>Mines Reps., 1889, C.–2, p. 115.</ref> mentions that the work was being done on day labour, but, owing to the expense incurred, did not pay; but when<noinclude>{{rule}} {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 6oiih3za8av8z5y6n2w2csdzig4hf9y Page:Downey•Quartz·Reefs·West·Coast•1928.pdf/62 104 3970081 12507163 12353580 2022-07-24T20:18:36Z David Nind 1530872 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="David Nind" />{{c|64}}</noinclude>the company let a contract for mining and raising the stone a small profit was shown. The tributers were paid £1 per cubic yard for stone delivered to the paddock, finding all tools, explosives, &c., themselves. The stone was going underfoot on No. 5 adit, but the company did not consider it worth while to follow it down. A party of tributers was allowed to do so. This party sank a winze about 50 ft., where the stone became very broken and eventually pinched out. A short level was then projected from the foot of the winze, and the stone was stoped out up to the adit. The last crushing from the mine, 250 tons, which yielded 70 oz. gold, evidently came from this part, and if that is so the values were unpayable. It may be mentioned that in the Inglewood Claim a second vein of about the same length and width occurred parallel to the Inglewood Block and about 6 ft. to 8 ft. in the hanging-wall from it, and contained within a diabase dyke that forms the hanging-wall of the Phoenix and Inglewood shoots. This parallel shoot was traced down to No. 5 adit, but probably cut out below that level in the same way as the other shoot. As far as the writer can learn, both shoots carried similar values. From a geological viewpoint Dr. Henderson considered (Bull. No. 18, p. 146) it probable that the Phoenix, Inglewood, and North Star shoots originally formed part of the Victoria shoot, and represented fragments displaced from the latter by faulting, an occurrence that could be explained by an east-north-east-striking normal fault, with an angle of dip less than that of the pitch of the shoot cutting off its upper part. There can be no doubt that the three first-mentioned shoots have been faulted, and it is quite likely that the movement was of the nature indicated by Dr. Henderson. It is also highly probable that the vertical pitch of the Phoenix and Inglewood shoots is to be accounted for by twisting or warping of the country due to this faulting. ''North Star Mine''.—Little is known of this mine beyond the fact that for a short time in the “seventies” a shoot of stone was worked in it on the same line as, and north of, the Inglewood shoot. This was the most northerly stone found on Kelly’s line; but what the length of the shoot was or how far it was followed down are not recorded. It is known, however, that the stone cut out when sunk on, and the depth at which it disappeared must have been very shallow. A small crushing of 215 tons was put through in 1875 for 114 oz. gold, and in 1877 there was a crushing of 100 tons for 76 oz., showing that the stone was not of high grade. In 1879 the company was absorbed by the Inglewood Company, and, except that the No. 4 Inglewood adit was driven through the North Star ground, no further work was ever done on the claim. Summarizing regarding the various ore-shoots along Kelly’s lode-series, it may be said that the Band of Hope end offers no promise of yielding any satisfactory results to future investigation. There is a strong shoot of stone in the claim of that name, but it has been followed down for 400 ft. below the outcrop without any payable values being revealed. The advance of modern metallurgical knowledge may make it possible for the antimonial ores of the Golden Treasure section to be treated now profitably, but, unfortunately, the data regarding the quantities of this ore available is painfully meagre. It seems evident that there is in the claim a fairly large amount of this ore carrying gold values, but any attempt to estimate the quantity would be merely guessing. It is known that on No. 3 level of the mine the lode was not picked up, but H. A. Gordon’s remark, previously quoted, that no prospecting was done to find it, owing to lack<noinclude></noinclude> 9ngvx4nl3z29vi80uk8awookh9i8zaw Page:Downey•Quartz·Reefs·West·Coast•1928.pdf/63 104 3970082 12507190 12353587 2022-07-24T20:27:08Z David Nind 1530872 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="KAynsley" />{{c|65}}</noinclude>of funds, seems to be borne out by such plans as are in existence. In all possibility further work on this level would have shown the antimony lode to live down to it. In view, however, of the uncertainty of the position it cannot well be said that an attempt to reopen the mine in order to better determine its possibilities would be justifiable. In the Murray Creek Mines area, comprising the Victoria, Phoenix, and Inglewood shoots, it is known that on the first-mentioned shoot gold-bearing ore is going underfoot on the bottom level of the mine, which fact, combined with slight possibilities of getting quartz in other parts of the property, is an ever-present temptation to mining-men to try their luck again, in an effort to work it profitably. Despite the fact that a previous company took over £70,000 worth of gold out of the mine, and put besides a good deal of fresh capital into working it, only to find itself unable to meet expenses and compelled to end up in liquidation, a new company has, the writer understands, been floated to give the property another trial. The promise of success for the new venture cannot be said to be bright. There is a certain amount of stone left above the fault between Nos. 4 and 5 levels, on which prospecting is now in progress, but this stone is small, irregular, and in very limited quantity. The previous company knew of its existence, but went to little trouble to mine it. A connection was made on the shoot between Nos. 4 and 5 levels, and a small portion of the stone was stoped out, but the results could not have been satisfactory, for the company soon ceased work there, and nothing more was done in that part of the mine till Kremmer’s tribute party in 1925 drove an intermediate south on the shoot, 50 ft. below No. 4 adit. From this working and the leading stope over it the party took out 161 tons of stone, which yielded 111 oz. 6 dwt. 4 gr. gold. The run of solid stone was only about 60 ft. in length. The present company has advanced another intermediate in the same direction at 120 ft. below No. 4 adit. For the first 60 ft. to 70 ft. there was no stone underfoot, but a little was showing in the back, and it was plain that faulting had taken place. As to the stone going underfoot on No. 7 level, there is no sufficient reason for thinking otherwise than that this will live down to another level, and possibly much deeper; but the two winzes sunk to 49 ft. and 97 ft. respectively from the level show that it will be much broken, a series of step-faults that came in just above the level evidently continuing down as far as the winzes went. The gold contents in the shoot may also be of much the same tenor as those recovered from above No. 7 level during the past two years or more that the reef was worked—namely, from 9 dwt. to 10 dwt. per ton. The point is, however, as to whether, in view of the fact that the Murray Creek Mines could not mine and treat the stone from above No. 7 level at a profit, it is possible to deal any more successfully with quartz from below that level. In the writer’s opinion the chance of doing so is remote. {{c|AJAX GROUP.—WALSHE’S LODE-SERIES.}} This line, which outcrops about 20 chains westerly of Kelly’s line, has the same general strike.

''Ajax Mine''.—The finding of the outcrop of the Ajax shoot was made in November, 1870, at an elevation of something over 2,000 ft. above sea-level, in very rugged country which, in those days when Inangahua County was practically roadless, presented tremendous difficulties to the miners in bringing in equipment. A steam-driven fifteen-stamp battery was placed on the claim in the following year. It is said that the boiler and other heavy parts had all to be brought in barges up the Buller and Inangahua Rivers to the Landing, whence they were drawn by horses up the bed of the latter river to Black’s Point. From there they were taken up the steep hillside to the mine by means of blocks and tackle; and none save those who are familiar with the locality can realize what immense toil, hardship, and expense all this entailed. The company started crushing in 1872, in which year 2,603 tons of quartz were treated for 3,444 oz. gold, equal to nearly 26½ dwt. per ton. The claim was vigorously prospected by means of adits, and by sinking a vertical shaft from which several levels were projected, but the best of the stone was soon found to make, on its pitch, into the adjoining Golden Fleece Company’s ground, and this led, in 1876, to the two companies merging under the title of the Golden Fleece Extended. Prior to this amalgamation the Ajax Company had treated 6,890 tons of quartz from its mine for a yield of 6,441 oz. gold, valued at £24,958 17s. 6d., out of which it paid for all its plant and distributed £2,504 in dividends. It is said of the company that it was the only one in the Reefton district that made no call whatever on its shareholders, the money for the early working of the mine and for its equipment having been borrowed, and paid back out of profits. ''Golden Fleece Mine''.—The Golden Fleece shoot was found by Patrick Hunt very shortly after the discovery of the Ajax shoot. Up to the time of the amalgamation with the Ajax Company in 1876, the company that had been formed to work it did not do much good, although it raised a fair tonnage of quartz, but after the merger the Golden Fleece Extended Company operated with great success for a number of years. Between 1876 and 1884 it crushed 24,877 tons of stone for a yield of 31,871 oz. gold, valued at £121,542 12s. 9d., out of which £55,000 was paid in dividends. In the latter year a re-formation of the company seems to have taken place, the name being altered to the Golden Fleece United; but after this the company did no good. By this time the Ajax shaft, from which all work was carried on, had been sunk to a depth of 742ft., and six levels were opened from it. Of the two shoots of stone then known to occur in the joint claims, the southern, or Ajax, shoot was mined down to the bottom level, but the northern or Golden Fleece shoot, which was the richer and larger, cut out between Nos. 4 and 5 levels, and was not subsequently found. For four years following 1886 the mine was practically abandoned. In that year, or early in 1887, a large slip came down which did great damage to the winding plant, nearly all the working-parts of the machinery being broken. By the end of the latter year the plant had been largely renewed or repaired, but evidently no resumption of underground operations took place till about 1891, when a few men were put on to pick up the old No. 5 level. In 1892 some parties of tributers retimbered No. 1 level, and generally reconditioned the shaft, and stoped out some quartz left by the old company in the upper levels. By this time the Golden Fleece United Company had evidently ceased to exist, the claims having passed into the<noinclude></noinclude> p343mw9vkpqty7hl75isg7k4t1maio5 Page:Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, vol. 35.djvu/12 104 3971919 12507860 12394352 2022-07-25T04:22:59Z Mike s 915588 /* Not proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Mike s" /></noinclude>{{c|{{larger|{{blackletter|List}}}} {{x-smaller|OF THE}} {{larger|OFFICERS}} {{x-smaller|OF THE}} {{x-larger|GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.}} {{dhr}} {{Custom rule|w|40|w|40}} {{sm|Elected February 21, 1879.}} {{Custom rule|w|40|w|40}} {{dhr}} {{blackletter|President.}} {{sm|[[Author:Henry Clifton Sorby|H.

Candace was glad to follow this counsel. She ''was'' tired, and she felt shy of Mr. Gray and the girls, and would rather put off meeting them again, she thought, till the morning. Ten hours of unbroken sleep rested her thoroughly, but she woke with a feeling of puzzled surprise at her surroundings, and for a few moments could not gather up her thoughts or quite recollect where she was. Then it all came back to her, and she was again conscious of the uncomfortable sensations of the night before. She lay a little while thinking about it, and half wishing that she need not get up at all but just burrow under the blanket and hide herself, like a mouse or rabbit in his downy hole, till everybody had forgotten her blunders, and till she herself could forget them. But she said to herself bravely: "I won't be foolish. Cousin Kate is just lovely; she's promised to help me, and I'm sure she will.

I wish I were not so afraid of the girls." She jumped out of bed resolutely and began to dress, taking her time about it, and stealing many glances out of the open window; for she knew it must be early, and as yet there were no sounds of life about the house. After her hair was curled, she stood for some time at the door of the closet, debating what dress she should put on. The choice was limited. There were only a brown plaided gingham, a blue calico, and a thick white cambric to choose from. The latter seemed to her almost too nice to be worn in the morning. It was the first white dress she had ever been allowed to have, and Aunt Myra had said a good deal about the difficulty of getting it done up; so it seemed to Candace rather a sacred garment, which should be reserved for special state occasions. After hesitating awhile she put on the brown gingham. It had a little ruffle basted round the neck.

She recollected that Georgie and Gertrude had worn simple little ruches the night before, with no bows; and at last she wisely decided to fasten her ruffle with the little bar of silver which was her sole possession by way of ornament, for her mother's few trinkets had all been sold during her father's long illness. This pin had been a present from the worldly-minded Mrs. Buell, who so often furnished a text to Aunt Myra's homilies. She had one day heard Cannie say, when asked by one of the Buell daughters if she had any jewelry, "Are napkin-rings jewelry? I've got a napkin-ring." Mrs. Buell had laughed at the droll little speech, and repeated it as a good joke; but the next time she went to Hartford she bought the silver pin for Cannie, who was delighted, and held it as her choicest possession. Her dressing finished, Candace went softly downstairs. She paused at the staircase window to look out.

A book lay on the window-bench. It was "A York and a Lancaster Rose," which little Marian had been reading the night before. It looked interesting, and, seeing by a glance at the tall clock in the hall below that it was but a little after seven, Candace settled herself for a long, comfortable reading before breakfast. Mrs. Gray was the first of the family to appear. She swept rapidly downstairs in her pretty morning wrapper of pale pink, with a small muslin cap trimmed with ribbons of the same shade on her glossy black hair, and paused to give Cannie a rapid little kiss; but she looked preoccupied, and paid no further attention to her, beyond a kind word or two, till breakfast was over, the orders for the day given, half a dozen notes answered, and half a dozen persons seen on business.<noinclude></noinclude> t50pavmoydvax69i2rkkrakvfou5cyo Page:A Little Country Girl - Coolidge (1887).djvu/74 104 3972121 12507428 12356756 2022-07-24T22:13:11Z Maile66 219883 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Maile66" />{{rvh|66|A WALK ON THE CLIFFS.| A LITTLE COUNTRY GIRL.}}</noinclude>The girls seemed equally busy.

Gertrude fell upon a large box of freshly cut flowers, and began to arrange them in various bowls and vases. Little Marian had three cages of birds to attend to, which, as she was very particular about their baths and behavior, took a long time. Candace alone had nothing to do, and sat by, feeling idle and left out among the rest. "I think I shall put you in charge of the piazza boxes," said Mrs. Gray, noticing her forlorn look as she came back from her interview with the fishmonger.

"No, I shouldn't dislike it, but I don't know how to do my hair in any other way. I have always worn it like this."

In fact, Cannie's shyness was quite shaken out of her for the moment; and before the experiments were ended, and it was decided that a little bang on the forehead, and what Marian called a "curly knot" behind, suited her best, she felt almost at home with Georgie and Gertrude. "There," said Georgie, sticking in a last hair-pin, "come and see yourself; and if you don't confess that you are improved, you're a very ungrateful young person, and that is all I have to say." Candace scarcely knew her own face when she was led up to the looking-glass. The light rings of hair lay very prettily on the forehead, the "curly knot" showed the shape of the small head; it all looked easy and natural, and as if it was meant to be so.

There was a music-stand in the centre, a statue on a pedestal; and close by them, rising from the greensward, appeared a small, curious structure of stone. It was a roofless circular tower, supported on round arches, which made a series of openings about its base.

She also told Cannie that the mill used to be thickly overhung with ivies and Virginia creepers, and that it had never been so pretty and picturesque since the town authorities, under a mistaken apprehension that the roots of the vines were injuring the masonry, had torn them all away and left the ruin bare and unornamented, as she now saw it. "Did you never read [[Author:Henry Wadsworth Longfellow|Longfellow's]] '[[Poems That Every Child Should Know/The Skeleton in Armour|Skeleton in Armor]]'?" she asked; and when Cannie said no, she repeated part of the poem, and promised to find the rest for Cannie to read when they got home.

For some years following a party of tributers who had taken the whole mine over worked certain parts of it, but mainly directed their attention to the working-out of a large block of the Ajax shoot the company had left as unpayable over No. 5 level. This block the party stoped up for 120 ft. above the level. It was only about 18 in. wide, and averaged from 6 dwt. to 8 dwt. gold per ton; but the men were satisfied with the return, although they paid a 10-per-cent. royalty on the gross yield in addition to the working-expenses of crushing and 6d. per ton for the use of the battery. During the time the tributers worked the mine they appear to have crushed 1,426 tons of quartz, for a return of 1,271 oz. gold. {{FI | file = missing | caption = Fig. 7.—Plan and Section of Golden FLeece Mine, Reefton. }} In 1895 the property was purchased by the Consolidated Goldfields of New Zealand, together with the Royal Mint, Venus, and Royal claims.

The new owners began vigorously to prospect and exploit the claims from a number of points. Connection was made by rises and winzes between No. 4 level of the Royal and No. 6 level of the Golden Fleece, and the stoping of such stone as was left in the Royal shoot was pushed on with. Simultaneously a winze was started from No. 6 level on the Royal shoot, which was subsequently connected with No. 9 level.

This shaft was completed in 1900. During the progress of raising it, chambers were cut for Nos. 7, 8, and 9 levels, and drives were rapidly put out from these, stoping being started in this lower part of the mines in November of the same year. In the following year, 1901, the shaft was sunk from No. 10 to No. 11 level, and each succeeding year a further level was opened till No. 14 was reached. In all these levels the Ajax and Royal shoots were worked, but as the stone was not wide it was soon beaten out from level to level. No. 14 level, 1,673 ft. below the collar of the Ajax shaft, did not open out at all well, comparatively little stone being met with; but it was driven to the northern end of the Ajax shoot, from which point an incline shaft was sunk, and No. 15 level, the lowest in the mine, opened from it. This level did not show much more quartz than No. 14; and in August, 1907, the company decided to let the whole mine on tribute to a party consisting of Nicholas Lawn, John Oats, and others. This party then worked the mine till 1910, stoping out both shoots of stone from Nos. 14 and 15 levels, and mining a small tonnage from other parts of the workings. In all they crushed 7,856 tons for a yield of 6,543 oz. 6 dwt. gold. For the entire period during which the Consolidated Goldfields Company operated the mine it crushed approximately 92,287 tons of quartz for a return of 46,425 oz. 6 dwt. gold, valued at £183,079 17s. 7d.; but the amount paid in dividends is not available. At the same time the company operated the mine it also worked the Energetic - Wealth of Nations Mine, and during the period paid £178,214 14s. 6d. in dividends. A goodly part of this may have come from the Golden Fleece property, but what the proportion was there is now no means of telling. For the whole period the group of mines comprising the Ajax, Royal, and Golden Fleece were worked the stone crushed amounted, as closely as can now be determined, to 134,477 tons, which yielded 89,639 oz. 15 dwt. 19 gr. gold, valued at £369,215 1s. 6d., out of which, apart from any dividends that the Consolidated Company may have paid, the sum of £57,785 15s. 5d. was distributed to shareholders. Of this amount the Ajax Company paid £2,504, the Royal £231 15s. 5d., and the Golden Fleece Extended Company £55,000. Gold-bearing quartz was still going underfoot on No. 15 level when work ceased, but the cost of sinking the shaft further in order to work it was considered too great to permit of following it down{{SIC||.}} ''Royal Mine''.—This mine adjoined the Ajax on the south. A very large amount of work was done on it, including the driving of four adits; but the results were unsatisfactory. The shoot was located on each of the levels, but it was broken, narrow, and poor. All the stone in sight above the No. 4 adit was stoped out prior to 1895, either by the company or tributers, and the Consolidated Goldfields Company subsequently removed what little there was in the Royal ground from that level down. Very little definite information is available as to crushings or yields, and the figures relating to them cannot be segregated from those dealing with the Golden Fleece. It may be mentioned that the Royal Claim was first held by a company known as the Victory, formed in 1878, to which the Result and Royal Companies succeeded. ''Venus Mine''.—As previously stated, the shoot of ore in this mine lay somewhat to the west of those in the other claims referred to on Walshe’s line, but a study of the position convinced Dr. Henderson that it was<noinclude></noinclude> 3pxpqzrp7umub4z73elzjdbf03ndnu5 Page:Downey•Quartz·Reefs·West·Coast•1928.pdf/67 104 3972171 12507263 12356836 2022-07-24T20:51:32Z David Nind 1530872 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="David Nind" />{{c|69}}</noinclude>related to them. Auriferous stone seems to have been first found in it as early as 1875, and a small crushing of 12 tons was evidently taken out shortly after that date, which yielded 10 oz. gold. The ground was only worked intermittently, however, for a good many years, such bodies of stone as were found being of no great extent. In 1885 a new company, the Venus Extended, was formed to work the claim, and met with a fair measure of success. The old company had driven an adit, No. 1, into the hill for 800 ft. without finding any reef of value. This adit the new company extended for 22 ft., when a shoot of stone 20in. wide was struck, showing gold freely. This shoot was subsequently stoped from No. 1 adit to the surface, and was traced down to Nos. 2 and 3 adits, the values being maintained throughout; but whereas it was about 350 ft. in length on the two upper adits, it shortened considerably on No. 3. Below No. 3 adit a winze was sunk for 115 ft. It was expected that the shoot would be struck in this at 25 ft. down, but the winze was carried down to 70 ft. without meeting stone. A crosscut was then run out to the east, which met the stone at 28 ft. A winze was then sunk on the stone for 40 ft., after which the first winze was continued to 115 ft., and connection made between the two workings. Below this point the shoot was not seen again. Another adit was started, to come in below the winzes, but no stone was got in it. It seems certain that this shoot was cut off by faulting; but even if it had lived down to No. 4 adit it is somewhat doubtful if the latter was carried in far enough to reach it. About the time the last of the stone in the shoot was being exhausted, another block, about 100 ft. long, was located in No. 1 adit. This was traced down to No. 2 adit, where it was apparently about 150 ft. south and somewhat to the west of the older workings. In the absence of plans it is difficult to tell precisely, but the reports of the Inspectors of Mines seem to indicate that this stone was also got on No. 3 level, but it was evidently irregular and of low grade. About the end of 1894 or early in 1895 the mine ceased operations, and in 1896 it passed into the hands of the Consolidated Goldfields Company, since which time nothing has been done by way of further prospecting it. During the time the mine worked, 10,871 tons of quartz were crushed, for a yield of 7,043 oz. gold, valued at £27,404 16s. 2d., and dividends amounting to £3,300 were paid. Dealing generally with this lode series, it may be said that some of the old-time miners who still remain in the district have a firm belief that the stone worked in the Venus Mine would have been found to live at a greater depth than it was traced, but Dr. Henderson’s opinion is that the stone probably formed the original cap of the Royal shoot, from which it was carried by faulting to the position in which it was found. This theory may be, and in all likelihood, is correct, but its reliability as accounting for the disappearance of the shoot in the lower levels can be only definitely proved by further prospecting. This much is known, that when the Inangahua Low-level Tunnel was being driven it entered badly crushed country some 10 chains before the lode country of the Venus was to be expected, and continued for 20 chains through similar material, thus showing that a powerful fault-movement had occurred there, and, as the Geologist says, it will well be that this crushed country represents the fracture-filling of the fault that displaced the Venus lode. Dr. Henderson further points out that the chaotic occurrence of the outcrops in this portion of the Murray Creek area may also be taken as evidence of faulting, the exact nature of which cannot<noinclude></noinclude> nx4w9dpxirxs55v3bvm1lmeoa9q8r9k Page:Downey•Quartz·Reefs·West·Coast•1928.pdf/68 104 3972177 12507276 12356857 2022-07-24T20:58:55Z David Nind 1530872 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="David Nind" />{{c|70}}</noinclude>be defined. Be this as it may, it can be said that there was little in the history of the mine to lead to the belief that the property is one in any case for the further prospecting of which any considerable expense would be justified. It would have been a good thing if, when the Low-level Tunnel was open, some lateral prospecting had been done from it to determine the point. An amalgamation of the Venus and Low-level Companies had been arranged with this end in view, but when the privileges held by them passed to the Consolidated Goldfields that company was intent only on pushing the tunnel in to the Golden Fleece shoot, and did not trouble about any other work, and it is questionable if the great cost of reopening the tunnel now for the purpose would be warranted. As far as the Royal section of the line is concerned there is no reason whatever for thinking that any further development on it would yield any better results than were obtained, and the Ajax shoot was worked out down to 1,800 ft. The chance of locating the lost portion of the Golden Fleece shoot may perhaps justify some prospecting effort. Considering that the two adjoining shoots, the Ajax and Royal, lived down to 1,800 ft., and were still going underfoot, there seems no good reason for thinking otherwise than that the Golden Fleece shoot would also live down in a similar manner, and, as the shoot was longer and richer than the others, some far better effort to locate it was justified than was apparently made in the past. It is on record that the Golden Fleece Extended Company brought a diamond drill from Australia for the purpose of using it in the search for the downward continuation of the shoot, but there is no record available as to what work was done with it in this direction. Local tradition has it that the crown of the drill was lost in the first hole and could not be recovered, and the assumption is that no further use was made of the plant. Any drill-hole that was put in would be {{SIC|betweeen|between}} the surface at the Ajax shaft and No. 6 level, and was in all likelihood started from No. 4 or No.5 level. In any case, such literature as there is dealing with the history of the mine at the time leads the writer to the conclusion that the hole was directed westerly from the old workings, in which case it may well have been advanced to any distance without finding the reef sought for. Referring to the cutting-off of the shoot, H. A. Gordon, Inspecting Engineer of Mines, mentions that “at the north side of the shaft a dislocation took place which caused a considerable throw in the lode, and it has not been picked up again on the north side of the dislocation or fault. Very good stone was got up to the fault, and there are indications that this lode will be again found to the northward of the fault and to the westward of the ground worked.” In view of this statement, the theory that the lost part of the shoot lay to the westward was probably the generally accepted explanation of the position at the time, consequently any work that was done by the way of searching for the lost reef would have been carried out in that direction. In a study of the mine made at a later date, however, Dr. Henderson came to the conclusion that the greater probability was that the lost portion of the shoot might be expected to lie to the eastward of the old workings. He points out that in the upper levels more than 1,000 ft. of lode-channel was ore-bearing, but the length below No. 6 level was reduced to about 700 ft., from which fact it was probable that three rather ill-defined ore-shoots were worked in the upper levels, the most northern of which was cut off by a fault of which the angle of dip was slightly steeper than the pitch of the shoots. A fault of this nature would have a northerly dip and an east-north-east strike, and the fact that each of the three bottom levels in the mine turned eastward following a pronounced fissure leaves little doubt<noinclude></noinclude> 456jox16cng3q1x2li7kauyf51m7xzz 12507279 12507276 2022-07-24T20:59:31Z David Nind 1530872 Add a missing space proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="David Nind" />{{c|70}}</noinclude>be defined.

Any drill-hole that was put in would be {{SIC|betweeen|between}} the surface at the Ajax shaft and No. 6 level, and was in all likelihood started from No. 4 or No. 5 level. In any case, such literature as there is dealing with the history of the mine at the time leads the writer to the conclusion that the hole was directed westerly from the old workings, in which case it may well have been advanced to any distance without finding the reef sought for. Referring to the cutting-off of the shoot, H. A. Gordon, Inspecting Engineer of Mines, mentions that “at the north side of the shaft a dislocation took place which caused a considerable throw in the lode, and it has not been picked up again on the north side of the dislocation or fault. Very good stone was got up to the fault, and there are indications that this lode will be again found to the northward of the fault and to the westward of the ground worked.” In view of this statement, the theory that the lost part of the shoot lay to the westward was probably the generally accepted explanation of the position at the time, consequently any work that was done by the way of searching for the lost reef would have been carried out in that direction. In a study of the mine made at a later date, however, Dr. Henderson came to the conclusion that the greater probability was that the lost portion of the shoot might be expected to lie to the eastward of the old workings. He points out that in the upper levels more than 1,000 ft. of lode-channel was ore-bearing, but the length below No. 6 level was reduced to about 700 ft., from which fact it was probable that three rather ill-defined ore-shoots were worked in the upper levels, the most northern of which was cut off by a fault of which the angle of dip was slightly steeper than the pitch of the shoots. A fault of this nature would have a northerly dip and an east-north-east strike, and the fact that each of the three bottom levels in the mine turned eastward following a pronounced fissure leaves little doubt<noinclude></noinclude> rb5k2frnrq8lqarzdqtw21fc4fvxc22 Page:A Little Country Girl - Coolidge (1887).djvu/91 104 3972334 12507393 12357180 2022-07-24T21:58:18Z Maile66 219883 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Maile66" />{{rvh|81|A WALK ON THE CLIFFS.| A LITTLE COUNTRY GIRL.}}</noinclude>"Then suppose you and Candace take a walk on the Cliffs.

You might take her to the beach, Gertrude, and come home by Marine Avenue." "Very well, mamma; I will, certainly," said Gertrude. But there was a lack of heartiness in her tone. Like most very young girls she had a strong sense of the observant eyes of Mrs. Grundy, and she did not at all approve of the brown gingham. "I wonder why mamma can't wait till she has made Cannie look like other people," she was saying to herself. There was no help for it, however. None of Mrs. Gray's children ever thought of disputing her arrangements for a moment; so the two girls set forth, Cannie in the despised gingham, and Gertrude in a closely fitting suit of blue serge, with a large hat of the same blue, which stood out like a frame round<noinclude></noinclude> 6b2btx5sc4v2qyp0gomdh6yxyiw54iu Page:A Little Country Girl - Coolidge (1887).djvu/92 104 3972335 12507394 12357181 2022-07-24T21:59:09Z Maile66 219883 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Maile66" />{{rvh|82|A WALK ON THE CLIFFS.| A LITTLE COUNTRY GIRL.}}</noinclude>the delicate oval of her face, and set off the feathery light hair to perfection. Their way for a little distance was down a sort of country lane, which was the short cut to the Cliffs. It ended in a smooth greensward at the top of a wall of broken rocks; and, standing on the edge, Cannie called out, "Oh!" with a sense of sudden surprise and freedom. Before her was a bay of the softest blue, with here and there a line of white surf, where long rollers were sweeping in toward the distant beach. Opposite, stretched a point of land rising into a low hill, which shone in the yellow afternoon sun; and from its end the unbroken sea stretched away into a lovely distance, whose color was like that of an opal, and which had no boundary but a mysterious dim line of faintly tinted sky. Sails shone against the moving water; gulls were dipping and diving; a flock of wild-ducks with glossy black heads swam a little away out from the shore.

There was a delicious smell of soft salty freshness, and something besides,—a kind of perfume which Candace could not understand or name. "Oh, what is it; what can it be?" she said. "What?" "The smell. It is like flowers. Oh, there it is again!" "Mamma makes believe that it is the Spice Islands," answered Gertrude, indifferently, "or else Madeira. You know there is nothing between us and the coast of Africa except islands." "Really and truly? How wonderful!" "Well, I don't see how it is so very wonderful. It just happens so. I suppose there are plenty of sea-side places where they can say the same thing." "Perhaps,—but I never saw any sea-coast but this. It is all new to me."

"Would you like to walk up the Cliffs a little way, or shall we go down to the beach?" she asked. "Oh, let us just go as far as that point," said Candace, indicating where, to the right, past a turnstile, a smooth gravel path wound its way between the beautifully kept borders of grass. The path ran on the very edge of the Cliff, and the outer turf dipped at a steep incline to where the sharp rock ran down perpendicularly, but to the very verge it was as fine and as perfectly cut as anywhere else. Candace wondered who held the gardeners and kept them safe while they shaved the grass so smoothly in this dangerous spot, but she did not like to ask. Gertrude's indifferent manner drove her in upon herself and made her shy. A hundred feet and more below them the sea was washing into innumerable rocky fissures with a hollow booming sound.

Every moment the color of the water seemed to change, and the soft duns and purples of the horizon line to grow more intense. Candace had no eyes but for the sea. She scarcely noticed the handsome houses on her right hand, each standing in its wide lawn, with shrubberies and beds of dazzling flowers. Gertrude, on the contrary, scarcely looked at the sea. It was an old story to her; and she was much more interested in trying to make out people she knew at the windows of the houses they passed, or on their piazzas, and in speculating about the carriages which could be seen moving on the distant road. "How good it is of the people who own the places to let everybody go through them!" exclaimed Candace, when it was explained to her that the Cliff walk was a public one. "Oh, they can't help themselves. There is a right of way all round the Island, and nobody would be allowed to close it.

The Cliff walk is very celebrated, you know. Lots of people have written things about it." "Oh, I should think they would. It is the most beautiful place I ever saw." "You haven't seen many places, have you?" observed Gertrude, rather impolitely. "Oh no, I never saw anything but North Tolland till I came to Newport." "Then you can't judge." They had now turned, and were walking eastward toward the beach. Its line of breaking surf could be distinctly seen now. Carriages and people on horseback were driving or riding along the sands, and groups of black dots were discernible, which were other people on foot. "There is Pulpit Rock," said Gertrude, stopping where a shelving path slanted down toward a great square mass of stone, which was surrounded on three sides by water.<noinclude></noinclude> fivrrr2qy6y7mjpg5go2yomczwr4sw8 Page:A Little Country Girl - Coolidge (1887).djvu/97 104 3972340 12507404 12357190 2022-07-24T22:03:05Z Maile66 219883 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Maile66" />{{rvh|87|A WALK ON THE CLIFFS.| A LITTLE COUNTRY GIRL.}}</noinclude>"Would you like to go down and sit on top for a little while? I am rather tired." "Oh, I should like to so much." Down they scrambled accordingly, and in another moment were on top of the big rock. It was almost as good as being at sea; for when they turned their backs to the shore nothing could be seen but water and sails and flying birds, and nothing heard but the incessant plash and dash of the waves below. "Oh, how perfectly splendid!" cried Cannie. "I should think you would come here every day, Gertrude." "Yes, that's what people always say when they first come," said the experienced Gertrude. "But I assure you we don't come every day, and we don't want to. Why, sometimes last summer I didn't see the Cliffs for weeks and weeks together. It's nice enough now when there are not many people here; but after the season begins and the crowd, it isn't nice at all.

"I'd just as soon there were twenty people on this rock, if I needn't look at them and they didn't talk to me. The sea would be just the same." "You'll feel differently when you've been in Newport awhile. It's not at all the fashion to walk on the Cliffs now except on Sunday, and not at this end of them even then. A great many people won't bathe, either,—they say it has grown so common. Why, it used to be the thing to walk down here,—all the nicest people did it; and now you never see anybody below Narragansett Avenue except ladies'-maids and butlers, and people who are boarding at the hotels and don't know any better."

"I don't see how it is funny." "Yes," persisted Candace, who, for all her shyness, had ideas and opinions of her own; "because the Cliffs are so old and have always been here, and I suppose some of the people who make it the fashion not to walk upon them have only just come to Newport." "I really think you are the queerest girl I ever saw," said Gertrude. A long silence ensued. Each of the two girls was thinking her own thoughts. The thickening on the horizon meanwhile was increasing. Thin films of vapor began to blow across the sky. The wind stirred and grew chill; the surf on the beach broke with a low roar which had a menacing sound. Suddenly a wall of mist rose and rolled rapidly inland, blotting out all the blue and the smile of sky and sea. "Gracious! here's the fog," cried Gertrude, "and I do believe it's going to rain. We must hurry home.

W. HOWITT ON THE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY AND}}|}}</noinclude>different system which promised to be not entirely barren of results. Being required to visit constantly the gold-fields in all parts of North Gippsland east of the Mitchell River, I believed that by varying the route from place to place as much as possible, and by making use of those routes as lines of investigation, I might in course of time cover the whole district with, as it were, a network of traverses on which illustrative sections might be constructed. This I have done so far as was possible to me; and wherever I found points of interest requiring further illustration, I have worked out those special localities with more detail. A long-continued series of aneroid readings has furnished me with the means of working out the sections with some degree of certainty. Finally, on the data thus obtained, I have constructed three main sections approximately across the general strike of the older sedimentary strata, and three other sections approximately at right angles to the former. Where feature-surveys were available I have used them; but where, as unfortunately was too often the case, there were none, I have made such traverses with the compass, estimating the distance by the watch or by pacing, as would furnish me with fairly reliable data. The knowledge which I have gained of the geology of the district has therefore resulted from actual inspection in the field; and it will be for geologists to say whether my interpretation of facts and the inferences which I have drawn therefrom are well grounded or not. In these notes I propose to summarize the general results at which I have arrived. The details are partly contained in the 'Reports of Progress of the Geological Survey of Victoria,' and partly in papers which are now in process of completion<ref>The papers now in hand are "On the Devonian Rocks of North Gippsland" and "Section 1 of the Geological Structure of North Gippsland."</ref>. The sketch sections given in this paper do not pretend to represent the exact features of any one locality; but I have endeavoured to portray in them, in a condensed form, that which I have observed in the field, and at the same time to do so in accordance with the results shown by the sections I have referred to. The encouraging assistance of friends has not been wanting. I am under great obligations to Professor M'Coy, of Melbourne University, for examining the collections of fossils which I have made and for indicating their geological age; to Mr. C. H. P. Ulrich, F.G.S., of the Industrial and Technological Museum, Melbourne, who has most kindly aided me by examining collections of rocks in comparison with those of the Technological Museum in Melbourne; and to Mr. E. Brough Smyth, P.G.S., the Secretary for Mines, &c, under whose direction the Geological Survey of this Colony has been resumed, for every assistance which a long-standing friendship and a warm interest in the geological examination of the Colony could suggest. It was in consequence of a suggestion made by my friend Mr. B. Brough Smyth some years ago that I determined to attempt systematically the geological examination of North Gippsland. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> t9qd1z0hdg4ueowub3o3hkvwhifktyb Page:Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London, vol. 35.djvu/29 104 3988135 12507880 12502783 2022-07-25T04:34:30Z Mike s 915588 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Mike s" />{{rh||{{asc|GEOLOGY OF NORTH GIPPSLAND, VICTORIA.}}|3}}</noinclude>If these notes are thought worthy of any consideration by geologists, I shall feel that I am amply rewarded for any labour I may have undergone, and that the many days of wanderings and solitary encampment by night among the rugged mountains and precipitous denies of the Australian Alps have not been in vain. {{dhr}} {{c|{{sc|General Consideration of the District.}}}} The district to be considered may be described as being all that part of North Gippsland lying eastward of the Macallister River, and also that part of the Omeo country between the Great Dividing Range and a line drawn from Mount Gibbs to Mount Hotham. It is approximately 130 miles in length by 80 miles in width, or about 10,400 square miles in area. It is divided into two unequal portions by the Great Dividing Range. This mountain-chain has a general trend to N. 60° E. and S. 60° W., and conforms to the outline of the coast. It is not, however, continuous in this course throughout; from Forest Hill to Mount Phipps it follows this direction, as also from Mount Hotham to Mount Howitt; but the intermediate portion lies at right angles. From Mount Phipps the general direction of the Dividing Range is continued by a line of mountains, such as Mount Birregun, Castle Hill, and Mount Wellington, through which the rivers have cut their course southward. From Mount Hotham the line of direction is similarly continued north-easterly by the Bogong Mountains and Mount Gibbs to Mount Kosciusko, which is on the Dividing Range, and the highest known mountain in Australia<ref>The heights of these mountains above the sea-level, as determined by the Geodetic Survey of Victoria, are as follows:—Mount Hotham 6100 feet, Mount Howitt 5715 feet, Castle Hill 4860 feet, Mount Wellington 5363 feet, Mount Kosciusko 7256 feet, and Mount Bogong (the highest mountain in Victoria) 6508 feet.</ref>. On this line also the Mitta Mitta and the Limestone Rivers have cut a passage through the highlands and flow to the north<ref>The Limestone River, also called the Indi, is one of the sources of the river Murray.</ref>. The Great Dividing Range, with the two extensions just noted, may be said to define the north and south limits of an extensive plateau, averaging a hundred miles in length with a width of twenty-five miles. The drainage of the north-eastern moiety falls into the river Murray, and that of the south-western moiety into the rivers flowing into the Gippsland lakes. The transverse part of the Great Dividing Range, which thus separates the two halves of what may be called the Omeo plateau, extends from Mount Phipps to Mount Hotham. It is comparatively low in elevation; it falls suddenly into the Dargo River to the west, but has a gentle slope on the east towards Omeo. The average elevation of the Omeo plateau is probably not less than 3000 feet above the sea-level; the highest point rises to 6508 feet in Mount Bogong; and the lowest level is found in the Omeo<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 3d3kr4zhlgtcvhrd7g070o2trey8nr9 Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/295 104 3988665 12508152 12395737 2022-07-25T09:41:35Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" /></noinclude>{{c|{{larger|INDEX}}<ref>This index is not intended to be exhaustive.</ref>}} {{plainlist|hanging-indent=1em| * Alderman, basis of his political success, 226, 228, 240, 243, 248, 267;

Morning prayer is the food of the soul on which its strength for the day depends. ''Holy Mass.'' — “ To begin well and to end better, two things,” St. Philip Neri said, “are needed — to be devout to the most holy Mother of God and to hear Mass daily when there is no lawful hindrance.” ''Daily Duties. — Fac quod facis'', “ Do what Thou doest” — that is, do each duty at its proper time, as if it were the only one you had to do, and the last — ''quasi unum et quasi ultimum. In beginning any work, sign yourself and say, “Oh, my God, I offer Thee this work.” Before Meals, sign yourself and say, ''Benedictus benedicat'' — “May the Blessed bless it.” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> g6552fz5hx22tfc7mr0emfcebb2vfo4 Page:TheDailyPrayerBook.pdf/37 104 4003181 12507825 12443028 2022-07-25T03:36:38Z Bobdole2021 2943726 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Bobdole2021" /></noinclude>''After Meals,'' say, ''Benedictus benedicatur'' — “ May the Blessed be blessed."

''In conversation'' — Set, O Lord, a guard to my mouth, and a watch about my lips; Ps. cxl. 3. ''After falling into any light fault'' — Humbly renew your purpose and begin again. Depression after a fault comes from wounded pride, and is often more sinful than the fault itself. ''After a graver sin'' — Make an Act of Contrition, and go to confession as soon as possible.

Their fragrance-spreading virtues uncompelled must Attain him who stands near them, as does flower-dust.' The son of Sudâsa spoke: 73. 'You employed your wealth in the right manner, indeed ; rightly you did not mind trouble, that you did your utmost, О virtuous one, to reward well-said sentences ! 'Go on, go on.'

Greater distance keeps Of virtue sever'd and of wrong the lores.'

We started about four o’clock— Legrand, Jupiter, the dog, and myself. Jupiter had with him the scythe and spades—the whole of which he insisted upon carrying—more through fear, it seemed to me, of trusting either of the implements within reach of his master, than from any excess of industry or complaisance. His demeanour was dogged in the extreme, and “dat deuced bug” were the sole words which escaped his lips during the journey. For my own part, I had charge of a couple of dark lanterns, while Legrand contented himself with the ''scarabæus'', which he carried attached to the end of a bit of whipcord; twirling it to and fro, with the air of a conjurer, as he went. When I observed this last, plain evidence of my friend’s aberration of mind, I could scarcely refrain from tears. I thought it best, however, to humour his fancy, at least for the present, or until I could adopt some more energetic measures with a chance of success. In the meantime, I endeavoured, but all in vain, to sound him in regard to the object of the expedition. Having succeeded in inducing me to accompany him, he seemed unwilling to hold conversation upon any topic of minor importance, and to all my questions vouchsafed no other reply than “we shall see!” We crossed the creek at the head of the island by means of a skiff, and, ascending the high grounds on the shore of the mainland, proceeded in a north-westerly direction, through a tract of country excessively wild and desolate, where no trace of a human footstep was to be seen. Legrand led the way with decision; pausing only for an instant, here and there, to consult what appeared to be certain landmarks of his own contrivance upon a former occasion. In this manner we journeyed for about two hours, and the sun was just setting when we entered a region infinitely more dreary than any yet seen. It was a species of tableland, near the summit of an almost inaccessible hill, densely wooded from base to pinnacle, and interspersed with huge crags that appeared to lie loosely upon the soil, and in many cases were prevented from precipitating themselves into the valleys below merely by the support of the trees against which they reclined. Deep ravines, in various directions, gave an air of still sterner solemnity to the scene. The natural platform to which we had clambered was thickly overgrown with brambles, through which we soon discovered that it would have been impossible to force our way but for the scythe; and Jupiter, by direction of his master, proceeded to clear for us a path to the foot of an enormously tall tulip-tree, which stood, with some eight or ten oaks, upon the level, and far surpassed them all, and all other trees which I had then ever seen,<noinclude>{{c|138}}</div></noinclude> cp446rycf5jp74kcajkozax4y80x8na Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/8 104 4010680 12508254 12495406 2022-07-25T10:51:25Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 remove comma proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Esme Shepherd" /></noinclude>{{c|{{x-larger|INDEX.}}}} {{dhr}}{{rule|3em}}{{dhr}} {{block center/s|width=600px}} {{right|{{smaller|''Page''}}}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Connecticut River|Connecticut River,]]|13|4=5}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Lochleven Castle,|Lochleven Castle,]]|17|4=5}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Evening at Home|Evening at Home,]]|19|4=5}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church|The Mohegan Church,]]|21|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Radiant Clouds at Sunset|Radiant Clouds at Sunset,]]|23|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Solitude|Solitude,]]|24|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Barzillai, the Gileadite|Barzillai, the Gileadite,]] |26|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Appeal for Missions|Appeal for Missions,]] |28|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Death of an Infant|Death of an Infant,]] |30|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/King John|King John,]] |31|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Unchanged of the Tomb|Unchanged of the Tomb,]] |33|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Twilight|Twilight,]] |35|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Montpelier|Montpelier,]]|37|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Norman Knights and Monks of Ely|Norman Knights and Monks of Ely,]]| 39|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Last Supper|The Last Supper,]]|42|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Return to Connecticut|Return to Connecticut,]]| 45|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/"Whither Shall I Flee from Thy Presence?"|"Whither Shall I Flee from Thy Presence?"]]| 47|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Sabbath Bell|The Sabbath Bell,]]| 49|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Cottage Scene,|Cottage Scene,]]| 51|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Boy's Last Bequest|Boy's Last Bequest,]]| 53|4=4}} {{Dotted TOC page listing||[[Poems Sigourney 1834/Greece|Greece,]]| 54|4=4}}<noinclude>{{block center/e}}</noinclude> h6mw2xtdks8ykcnw047xh4qf077f8ob A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 223 0 4011001 12507048 12482622 2022-07-24T19:07:31Z Chrisguise 2855804 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Leonardo da Vinci | translator = John Francis Rigaud | section = What Surface will shew most perfectly its true Colour | previous = [[../Chapter 222/]] | next = [[../Chapter 224/]] | notes = }} <pages index="A Treatise on Painting.djvu" from=263 fromsection="Chapter 223" to=263 tosection="Chapter 223" /> {{smallrefs}} {{default layout|Layout 2}} haw8art2rk7z4ct3dblcmgbl4g6bi9k Sherlock Holmes (UK Strand) 0 4011002 12507760 12503771 2022-07-25T02:31:32Z Languageseeker 2969373 wikitext text/x-wiki {{incomplete|scan=yes}} {{header | title = The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in The Strand Magazine (UK) | author = Arthur Conan Doyle | section = | previous = | next = | year = 1892 | commonscat= | notes = | portal = Mystery }} ==Contents== {{AuxTOC| * (The) Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1891 - 1893) **[[The Strand Magazine/Volume 2/A Scandal in Bohemia|I.

But now, its ruins strongly bear Fruits that the gentlest hand might share; For there a hallowed dome imparts The lore of Heaven to listening hearts, And forms, like those which lingering staid, ''Latest'' 'neath Calvary's awful shade, And ''earliest'' pierced the gathered gloom To watch a Saviour's lowly tomb, Such forms have soothed the Indian's ire, And bade for him that dome aspire. Now, where tradition, ghostly pale, With ancient horrors loads the vale, And shuddering weaves in crimson loom Ambush, and snare, and torture-doom, There shall the peaceful prayer arise, And tuneful hymns invoke the skies. —Crush'd race!—so long condemned to moan, Scorn'd—rifled—spiritless—and lone, From pagan rites, from sorrow's maze, Turn to these temple-gates with praise; Yes, turn and bless the usurping band That rent away your fathers' land; Forgive the wrong—suppress the blame, And view with Faith's fraternal claim, Your God—your hope—your heaven the same. </poem> {{center block/e}}<noinclude></noinclude> ddi65ya24kknw4436t655sc1lrwzuoq Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/24 104 4011732 12508227 12488212 2022-07-25T10:39:45Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|right=23}}</noinclude>{{nop}} {{c|{{larger|'''RADIANT CLOUDS AT SUNSET.'''}}}} {{center block/s}} <poem> {{sc|Bright}} Clouds! ye are gathering one by one Ye are sweeping in pomp round the dying sun, With crimson banner, and golden pall Like a host to their chieftain's funeral; Perchance ye tread to that hallowed spot With a muffled dirge, though we hear it not.

They went to bed with the open intention of staying there, say, three days, and found to their surprise that each morning they wanted to get up. This was a novel experience to them; they flung about restlessly, and probably shortened their holiday. The proper thing is to take your holiday in bed with a vague intention of getting up in another quarter of an hour. The real pleasure of lying in bed after you are awake is largely due to the feeling that you ought to get up. To take another quarter of an hour then becomes a luxury. You are, in short, in the position of the man who dined on larks. Had he seen the hundreds that were ready for him, all set out on one monster dish, they would have alarmed him; but getting them two at a time, he went on eating till all the larks were gone. His feeling of uncertainty as to whether these might not be his last two larks is your feeling that, perhaps, you will have to get up in a quarter of an hour. Deceive yourself in this way, and your holiday in bed will pass only too quickly. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{c|{{sm|1}}}}</noinclude> 79u2j7eqjocbo1shfl4kpw9ebwrbmt5 Page:Princess Mary's Gift Book (IA princessmarysgif00mary).pdf/15 104 4014991 12506863 12497302 2022-07-24T17:30:36Z RaboKarbakian 2427564 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="RaboKarbakian" />{{rh||A HOLIDAY IN BED|3}}</noinclude>She must simply see that you are “not yourself.” Women have an idea that unless men are “not themselves” they will not take to bed, and as a consequence your wife is tenderly thoughtful of you. Every little while she will ask you if you are feeling any better now, and you can reply, with the old regard for truth, that you are “much about it.” You may even (for your own pleasure) talk of getting up now, when she will earnestly urge you to stay in bed until you teel easier. You consent; indeed, you are ready to do anything to please her. The ideal holiday in bed does not require the presence of a ministering angel in the room all day. You frequently prefer to be alone, and point out to her that you cannot have her trifling with her health for your sake, and so she must go out for a walk.

After she has gone you get up cautiously, and, walking stealthily to the wardrobe, produce from the pocket of your greateoat a good novel. A holiday in bed must be arranged for beforehand. With a gleam in your eye you slip back to bed, double your pillow to make it higher, and begin to read. You have only got to the fourth page, when you make a horrible discovery—namely, that the book is not cut. An experienced holiday-maker would have had it cut the night before, but this is your first real holiday, or perhaps you have been thoughtless. In any case you have now matter to think of. You are torn in two different ways. There is your coat on the floor with a knife in it, but you cannot reach the coat without getting up again. Ought you to get the knife or to give up reading? Perhaps it takes a quarter of an hour to decide this question, and you decide it by discovering a third course. Being a sort of an invalid, you have certain privileges which would be denied you if you were merely sitting in a chair in the agonies of neuralgia. One of the glorious privileges of a holiday in bed is that you are entitled to cut books with your fingers. So you cut the novel in this way, and read on. Those who have never tried it may fancy that there is a lack of incident in a holiday in bed. There could not be a more monstrous mistake. You are in the middle of a chapter, when suddenly you hear a step upon the stairs. Your loving ears tell you that the ministering angel has returned, and is hastening to you. Now, what happens? The book disappears beneath the pillow, and when she enters the room softly you are lying there with your eyes shut. This is not merely incident; it is drama. What happens next depends on circumstances. She says, in a low voice: “Are you feeling any easier now, John?” No answer. “Oh, I believe he is sleeping.” Then she steals from the room, and you begin to read again.<noinclude></noinclude> euwixqa36ujo5y8l5dnpwpb4pyzt3yh Page:The Gilded Age - Twain - 1874.pdf/338 104 4015728 12507465 12498567 2022-07-24T22:30:18Z Stamlou 1217106 /* Validated */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Stamlou" />{{rvh|310|{{fine|THE PATIENTS.}}}}</noinclude>''Mrs. O''.—"It was his right hand hind leg.

If you had done so in this instance, you would have seen that you pretended sleep because you had got to an exciting passage. You love your wife, but, wife or no wife, you must see how the passage ends. Possibly the little scene plays differently, as thus: “John, are you feeling any easier now?” No answer. “Are you asleep?” No answer. “What a pity! I don’t want to waken him, and yet the fowl will be spoilt.” “Is that you back, Marion?” “Yes, dear; I thought you were asleep.” “No, only thinking.” “You think too much, dear. I have cooked a chicken for you.” “I have no appetite.” “I’m so sorry, but I can give it to the children.” “Oh, as it’s cooked, you may as well bring it up.” {{img float |file=Princess Marys Gift Book-019-2.jpg |width=225px |align=right |cap={{fine|You are lying there with your eyes shut}}}} In that case the reason of your change of action is obvious. But why do you not let your wife know that you have been reading? This is another matter that you never reason about. Perhaps it is because of your craving for sympathy, and you fear that if you were seen enjoying a novel the sympathy would go. Or perhaps it is that a holiday in bed is never perfect without a secret. Monotony must be guarded against, and so long as you keep the book to yourself your holiday in bed is a healthy excitement.

But John was so far from any knowledge of what was going on in the world that it is to be feared he had not even heard of Millet, but only imagined vaguely a wondering beatific existence all given up to art, and conscious of nothing else, nothing finer or more desirable in the world. But he was a youth of very conscientious mind, and when he discovered that he was the heir of a large fortune he put himself with great docility into the hands of his guardians and men of business, and, suffered himself to be trained in the most correct way according to all the necessities of what one of them called his “station,” though John was aware that he had in reality no station, but only wealth and a blank record like that of one who had no ancestors, nobody who had gone before him in the path of life. His father, who had made all the money, had been unknown to John, and he had no relatives nor any fixed place in the world. He had, indeed, a house in London, but that did not count as a home. His mother, after having so long accustomed herself to the barest elements of life, did not feel capable of any other manner of living, and remained in the cottage in the south of France, which she had chosen for her dwelling before her son was born. And thus John was virtually alone in the world. He was a most docile ward in the hands of his governors, so long as he was under age, and even beyond that time so long as his education lasted. He went to Oxford dutifully, having been prepared with care for that crowning point of training, and though he never distinguished himself in the faintest degree, got through very well in the crowd. But after this he took the reins in his own hands, and pursued the way that pleased his childish thought. He had no special duty to his country, no “place” to keep up, or territorial influence to exercise; so he gave himself up to what was in reality the only thing he loved in the world, which was Art. I doubt whether he would ever have become a Millet, even had he been left to pursue that career, as he originally intended; but he did attain to painting pictures which, if they were not great, were at least very sincere and natural, and possessed a quiet character and originality not to be despised. His life was innocently Bohemian, very free and untroubled, full of wanderings in beautiful places, and brotherhood with queer people, but with very little of the wildness of the society which is generally distinguished by that name; or, at least, of the supposed wildness which is conventionally attributed to it. John was ''bourgeois'' in the cleanness of his life and manners; he did not like noise, and hated drinking; he was, in fact, born respectable, though he disliked any ties upon his personal freedom. This is in reality, I think, the true artist temperament, though the world is pleased to call it unconventional, meaning unruly and disorderly—whereas order is the breath of its nostrils. John was very particular about all his simple surroundings: he pulled down curtains and thrust ugly ornaments out of the way with a freedom which somehow no French ''aubergiste'', and scarcely even any English village innkeeper, took amiss. Perhaps this arose from the fact that John was more liberal than artist-guests usually are, keeping no very strict eye upon the little sundries of a bill as most of them do, and allowing himself to be discreetly fleeced for the benefit of the company in general; and partly that he knew exactly how to deal with the Frenchmen, at least of that class, as one to the manner born. {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''"His life was ... full of wanderings in beautiful places"''}}}} Thus he spent his life in his own way, and it was a very enjoyable life. Few people suspected that he had a house in Belgravia to which he might retire at any moment, or a great deal of money upon which he could draw as he pleased. Still less was it generally known that he had been brought up as a French peasant. What his comrades knew of him was that he was a very good fellow, who might be safely asked for a small loan in time of need, or who would even offer that kindness where he saw it was much wanted, and who never troubled any one about paying back. To account for this he always said that he had had some money left him, and that, as he had neither wife nor child, he wanted it much less than many others did. He sold a picture now and then, at which he always had the air of being astonished as well as pleased, protesting that it was all luck, and that the others, which remained on the painters' hands, were really much better than his, which sometimes, no doubt, was the case. He said freely that he was a lucky fellow, and people generally took him at his word. He was certainly one who was content, and loved his art and his freedom, and his long days' sketchings out of doors, and the humours of the little artist community which is wont to gather together at all sorts of out-of-the-way places, very gregarious and friendly, and admiring the beauty of the world as nobody else does. John loved to sit among them, and hear them adoring the light as it came upon their bit of landscape, or upon the curves of a figure—and the landscape or the figure upon which the light came—and the distances and the foregrounds, and the human grace and outline, and all the beautiful things which these (sometimes rough) fellows admired and lingered over with an exquisite pleasure. He too admired and adored, and fell into despair over his own attempted renderings of these lovely things. And yet there was always a grace in his roughest studies, which was not lost even in the most elaborate of his pictures, the grace of a real sense of beauty and a real sympathy with life. This life went on for many years, till John had entered upon the thirties, the full maturity of manhood. And then a thing happened to him, the strangest thing in life, yet the most common thing, and occurring every day. He fell in love—all at once, without any warning, in that perfectly unprepared and unintentional way which often happens among the most unlikely of men. It was not that he wanted a wife, which is the motive with some men. Most certainly he did not want a wife whose advent would disturb all his plans and force him back into the trammels of society. This, I suppose, was why, when his love came to the boiling pitch, he presented himself to the parents of his Edith solely as he was, or as appearances showed him, as an artist doing tolerably well in his profession, and able to keep his wife more or less comfortably. These parents were the vicar of a little parish in the Isle of Wight and his wife—good, honest people, who were naturally poor, and whose daughter, one of several, had shown some taste for drawing, and had been sent to such schools of art as they could hear of, or get at, to cultivate this faculty. Poor Edith was not a genius, as these good people had fondly hoped at first, but she had found a little market for her modest drawings—better, perhaps, than if she had had more power or pretension; and they were satisfied that they had done what was the best for her. It was necessary that their girls should learn to do something for themselves, they sadly acknowledged, “in case anything should happen to me,” the Vicar said. It was certain that this “anything” must happen sooner or later, for the Vicar was an old man; and the girls took their work very cheerfully, as it is happily now the fashion for girls to do, not bemoaning themselves, as in a previous generation. Margaret, the eldest, was a governess; as for little Dorothy, it was not as yet decided what she should be trained to be. There was great commotion at the Vicarage when John, with a somewhat heavy foot (which he retained from his peasant days, nothing ever obliterating the ''sabot'' from the habits of the human step), came up the gravel walk to the old parson's study into which the evening sun was streaming level with blinding force. The house was a pretty house, covered with a great flowering myrtle, which was the pride of the parish, and showed its round pink buds at the window of the odd little den, full of mouldy books, kept wholesome by the constant fumigation of the Vicar's pipe, which was the old gentleman's refuge from all the cares of the world. He came out of it, when John made his exit into the garden, where Edith, very nervous, was waiting for him, with his grey hair all rubbed up and standing on end round his head, and calling for “Mary, Mary,” in a voice which went over all the house. This perturbed tone, with which she was very well acquainted, unearthed Mrs. Austen from the spare bedroom, in which, as in the only unoccupied place, she was cutting out under-garments for the sewing-class. “I am coming, I am coming, Edward,” she cried, as she put down her big scissors, and rubbed her forefinger and thumb which were almost blistered by the use of those implements. She hurried after him to the drawing-room, where he had already seated himself in the species of confessional to which he resorted when he went thus specially into this apartment in the working portion of the day. He was the Vicar, and he had a high sense of his own sacerdotal dignity; nevertheless there were moments in which the peace of his mind depended upon a free and full confession into his wife's private and particular ear. “Mary,” he said, with tremendous seriousness, “I have just had a very strange visitor, Mr. Rothbury the artist. And what do you think he wants?—our Edith for his wife!” “Well, my dear,” said Mrs. Austen with composure, “I cannot say I am very much surprised.” “Surprised! Edith, whom we thought we had done so well for, training her for her water-colours.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“John made his exit to where Edith, very nervous, was waiting for him.”''}}}} “Ah, Edward, that is all very true,” said Mrs. Austen; “and I wish we had the money in our pockets that she has cost for that. But so far as she is concerned I am sure it will be much happier that her husband should do the water-colours and she look after the house.” “Do you really think so?” he asked. “I thought you would be disappointed, after all the trouble we have taken.” “Oh, disappointed!” she said—thus brushing that folly aside. “And did he tell you what his means were? and does it seem to you that he has enough to keep her comfortably? and can he make any provision in case of—anything happening?” This paraphrase of the more dreadful words, death and misfortune, was the expression always used between the Vicar and his wife. The Vicar rubbed up his stubby grey locks still more. “He did say something about five hundred a year; but I was so much taken by surprise, and so uncertain how you would take it{{bar|2}}” “Five hundred a year!” his wife repeated, “and we've never had more than three hundred and fifty.” She put up her hand to her eyes, and a sob came into her voice. “That's a very good income for a young couple—oh, a very good income—to begin upon. I suppose he expects to make more as he goes on. And, Edward, it is very important to know whether he has anything to settle. Did he say he had anything to settle? He might die, though God forbid it, and leave Edith with perhaps—others to provide for. You must inquire into that, my dear.” “Mary,” said the Vicar, “Edith has nothing. How can I ask him questions about his most intimate concerns, when we have nothing to give on our side?” “What nonsense!” cried the troubled woman; “haven't we Edith to give—a girl that any man might be proud of. And she will have to give up her profession; and there probably will be—others to take into consideration. If he has no money to settle, you must make him insure his life.” “My dear Mary!” said the Vicar in despair. “How am I to speak to a stranger like Mr. Rothbury about his most intimate concerns?” “Oh, Edward, don't be so ridiculous!” Mrs. Austen cried; and then she added with composure that she supposed she must do it herself. “Though it always comes so much better from a man,” she said. But this the Vicar deprecated as quite a mistake on her part. “He will not mind it from you,” said this disingenuous clergyman. “He will think that you don't know much of business, and that if you're over anxious it's very excusable in a mother; whereas me he would expect to speak like a man of the world.” Poor Vicar! if that was his opinion it was one which was not shared by any of his family. But John, on being talked to, proved himself most happily ready to do anything that was required. He was ready to settle upon Edith a house he had in London, which brought in a very decent rent, he said; or he would insure his life, or do anything Mrs. Austen pleased. He was, indeed, so entirely at his ease about this that his very compliance raised doubt in the anxious mother's mind. He talked quite calmly of insuring his life for thousands! “And where is the money to come from to pay the premiums?” she said with a troubled countenance, being well aware what a business it was to scrape together enough to pay the Vicar's premiums once a year. But she had to be satisfied for the moment with these assurances, and Edith was as happy as the day was long. Edith was so happy that she did not mind at all whether John had five hundred pounds or farthings a year. “He wants us just to go on as he has been doing, travelling a great deal and sketching everywhere, and enjoying all the most beautiful places in the world. Oh, mother! think of going to Italy, and perhaps Spain, and all the places that one has dreamt of, but never hoped to see!” cried Edith, in her delight. But Mrs. Austen shook her head. “Do you mean that, you are, to have no house—no home of your own to settle down in?” she said in dismay. “Not till we get old and want to settle down. Not now, when we are both young and free; we are to work together, and draw together, and never to have a dull hour,” Edith said, radiant with smiles. Poor thing! poor young unthinking girl! But how was her mother to convince her that this was not the most desirable life in the world? Mrs. Austen did not think it at all desirable. What she wished for was a house,—it might be quite a small house to begin with—decently furnished, with a little plate for the table, which no doubt the friends of the young couple would give them as wedding presents, if properly directed thereto. Had not Mrs. Cramer given Alice Scott a dozen of spoons only the other day? and Edith was a much greater favourite with that lady than ever Alice had been. A little house with a Brussels carpet in the little drawing-room, and those art carpets, which only cost thirty-five shillings each, in the bedrooms; and, perhaps, some nice second-hand furniture, which is so much more the fashion nowadays than anything new. Mrs. Austen having succeeded so well in the matter of the life insurance, resolved to put forth to John the importance of having a house ready for Edith, and giving up this sort of vagabond scheme of wandering, without delay. He received the representation—made by her with great nervousness—with the same easy good-humour which he had shown before. “There is the house in London,” he said: “whenever we like we can come home to that.” “But you said it was let, and that the rent{{bar|2}}” “To be sure,” he said, “it is let; but that stops at the end of the season, or whenever we please.” “But—but—Mr. Rothbury, the rent was to be the provision for Edith; the settlement{{bar|2}}” “Oh, was it?” he said lightly; “well, we must put something in its place.” “But—it was a great part of your income, I understood. I am afraid you are not a very good man of business. A house to live in is of great importance; but something to live upon is more important still.” “That will be all right, Mrs. Austen. The lawyers will look after that. Edith and I will do very well. I assure you you need not fear.” “That is all very well,” she said, with a troubled countenance; “but the Vicar will insist on guarantees. You can't live on the rent of your house, and occupy your house, and settle it on Edith—all these three things together. The Vicar, I am afraid, dear Mr. Rothbury, will expect something very much more definite.” “Well,” said John, “I can insure my life for a few thousands more. You like the idea of insuring one's life!” “When you have plenty of money to pay the premiums. Do you know what a few thousands insured cost a year? And where are you to get the money?” Mrs. Austen asked, almost in a tragic tone. But John Rothbury only laughed, and assured her that he and Edith would do very well: which was the most unsatisfactory answer to a business discussion that could be in the world. {{c|II.}} {{sc|It}} was on that same evening—when Mrs. Austen was still in this puzzled and troubled state, which naturally she had communicated to the Vicar, in whom there was no light on the subject—that George Gregory came in to tea. He was one of the artist band with whom Edith—who had met them all sketching one time or another, and who had the modern young woman's confidence in ''camaraderie'', and conviction that all the elderly nonsense about the impossibility of friendship between men and women was contemptible indeed—had formed {{SIC|acquantance}}, and to whom the Vicar, with a clerical impulse of hospitality and his usual imprudence, had given a general invitation. All the family, except Mrs. Austen herself, were of opinion that it did not matter how many people you asked to tea. If it had been to dinner, indeed, or even to supper—but a cup of tea and a piece of cake or bread and butter, of what consequence could that be in a house where so much of those simple dainties was consumed every day? Mrs. Austen, in this as in many details, ran counter to the general mind of the Vicarage. She knew how soon an extra spoonful of tea in the pot and an extra loaf cut down for bread and butter mounted up; and all those painter young men ate bread and butter as if they thought it cost nothing. But this was one of the points on which Mrs. Austen was overborne by the family and compelled to submit. It was, as has been said, on the very evening when there had arisen that discussion between Edith's mother and John as to the house. George Gregory was one of the artist brotherhood whom no one liked very much, but he was one who was most assiduous in his devotion to the household gods of tea and bread and butter in the Vicarage. He had been absent for a little time, and had not heard, or pretended he had not heard, “about John,”—which was the manner in which the family described Edith's engagement. And he said, “Rothbury!—oh, he's a queer fellow!” when some one mentioned somewhat familiarly his name. “How is he a queer fellow?” said Mrs. Austen, pricking up her ears “Well, in every way, I think,” said the malevolent one. “He has always plenty of money, but no one knows where it comes from. As for his making three hundred a year, or one hundred a year, by selling his pictures, I don't believe a word of it. He can't paint a little bit. He copies Millet—French Millet, you know, like all those Paris fellows. I am not sure that I think such a lot of Millet as some do—but his imitators! And yet the fellow has always plenty of money, and flings it about like a lord.” Mr. Gregory was aware of more than one loan which never would be repaid to John, but which burned the borrower's pockets, so to speak, all the same. Mrs. Austen grew pale. Edith was fortunately not present, and therefore could not be affected by this report; but it struck the Vicar absolutely dumb for the moment, and he sat gaping at the speaker, who was exhilarated by the sensation he had made. “If he has plenty of money,” said Mrs. Austen, “I daresay it is from his property if it is not from his art. I happen to know that he has houses in the best quarter of London.” “Oh, that house in Belgravia!” the artist said; “everybody knows of that. It's part of the mystery. It is not let, Mrs. Austen, any more than I am. When he goes to town he goes there, and it's a palace. It's there he hangs all his pictures, I suppose, that he pretends to sell. He should have quite a gallery!” Gregory said, with a laugh. “And there's another queer thing about him which very few people know.” The Vicar had been making signals of distress, betraying the part he took in the matter, to his wife for some moments. He said now, “This is very serious, Mary; this is very serious,” shaking his great head. “I don't know,” said Mrs. Austen, “that it matters very much to us how queer Mr. Rothbury may be; but, for the sake of the story, what is the other queer things that people don't know?” “Well, you may see it in him,” said the unfaithful brother. “Don't you notice the clumsy way he walks, as if he were wearing wooden shoes? Well, so he did once: he was brought up in a little French place, like a little clodhopper. Just a little peasant he was, hanging about the railway to carry a bag, and so forth. I knew a fellow once that saw him at it—just a little Jacques Bonhomme, don't you know.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“'This is very serious, Mary.'”''}}}} The Vicar's eyes grew larger and larger; his grey locks began to erect themselves on his head. “Mary,” he said, “Mary, it is well that we have heard this.” She gave her shoulders a shrug and wrench in her impatience. “If Mr. Rothbury has raised himself to his present position by his own exertions, it is the greatest credit to him, I am sure,” she said. “Ah, yes, if he has done that!” said the other, with a laugh. “But that's a mystery, like all the rest.” “I think we have discussed our neighbours quite long enough,” said Mrs. Austen, for Edith had just come in and taken her place at the table; and she changed the subject so determinedly that even that evil tongue could find no more opportunity of speech. Gregory went away, however, chuckling to himself with a sense that he had “dished,” as he said, John Rothbury, a fellow who was so well off as to lend money to men a great deal better than himself, confound him! and who did sell his daubs too, taking the bread out of other fellows' mouths. After their uncomfortable visitor was gone, the Vicar tried every means he could think of to get his wife's private ear. He was very much troubled, the poor old gentleman! He accepted this new-comer's word against John, whom he was much better acquainted with, with that faith of the ignorant which is so unaccountable and exasperating. “It must be put a stop to—it must be put a stop to,” he said to himself. For her part, Mrs. Austen was troubled too. She did not know how to reconcile these strangely differing details. A peasant boy in France—well, if he had raised himself by his own exertions! And then that house in town which had already troubled her mind, which was let, and was to be settled on Edith, and yet was a home that would be open to them; and was a palace, this man said, with all his unsold pictures hanging in it. These things were enough to make Mrs. Austen very uncomfortable, though she did not give in as her husband did. They were all heightened, too, to her, by John's extreme easy-mindedness, by his almost laughing suggestion of one way after another of supplying the necessary settlement, and even by the lavish character of his presents, and his readiness to produce money for anything that was wanted—parish charities, choir excursions, or whatever Edith might chance to be interested in. When her husband finally secured her attention, after many efforts, she was in a very perturbed state. “My dear, I am afraid Mr. Rothbury is not the man we thought,” he said, shaking his old head, when he had at last beguiled her into his study, from which there was no escape. “How dreadfully untidy you are, Edward! and what a quantity of books you have out of the shelves! You can't be reading all these at once,” she said. “My dear Mary, I was speaking to you of Mr. Rothbury.” “Oh yes, I know! But to bring me into a place smelling of dust like this, and of tobacco; I don't really know which is worst,” she cried, with many sniffs of disgust. “Mary, don't turn me off like this. If this young man was really an uneducated boy, carrying parcels from the railway, and then suddenly has a great command of money and a house in town{{bar|2}}” “We knew he had a house in town,” said Mrs. Austen reproachfully, as if that was an argument. “Well, yes, so we did,” her husband replied; “he made no secret of that,” accepting the statement, too, on his side, as if there was logic in it. “And if he was only a peasant boy,” cried Mrs. Austen, suddenly thinking of another thing, which really was an argument, “how comes he, Edward, I ask you, to be an Oxford man?—for that he is, as you know.” “There is certainly a great deal in that,” said the Vicar, staggered. “A Brasenose man. It is not very great for scholarship, but still it is a good college.” “Which is a great deal more than that young man Gregory ever was—who never has a good word for any one,” cried his wife triumphantly; and then she turned tail to the question of the books, and put some of them, which the Vicar particularly wanted, back into the shelves without remorse or pity, so that Mr. Austen was very glad finally to get her out of his den, and to take what comfort he could from his pipe and his thoughts alone. {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“Putting the books back into the shelves without remorse.” ''}}}} But the Vicars wife was not at all at her ease. She took an opportunity next day to question John about his early life. “How well you speak French!” she said. “I heard you reading something out loud to Edith, and it was so different from the common English pronunciation. You must have a turn for languages.” This was her subtle way of opening the subject. “No credit to me,” he said. “French was my first language. I used to know it better than English.” “Dear me!” she said innocently; “was that because you had a French nurse, or were your parents living abroad?” “My mother lived abroad, and she does so now. I am going to take Edith to see her,” he said, with a queer look; “but it must be later in the year, for at present it would be too hot.” Mrs. Austen pondered for a little, and then she said, “You must have led a very chequered life. Brought up in France, and then going to Oxford, and then an artist,—I can't follow you, I that have always lived in one place. It makes my head go round.” “Well,” he said, “it is quite true. I have had an odd life.” And his face, which had been so gay, grew grave, and he gave a little sigh, but said not another word. What was poor Mrs. Austen to do? They had made all the inquiries they could about him, as prudent parents must. And they had got, as even the Vicar allowed, “every satisfaction.” But there was a mystery, notwithstanding the assurance of those very respectable lawyers in London, who had certified to Mr. Rothbury's respectability, and that his circumstances were as he had stated them. But that was a phrase which would bear many meanings. Mrs. Austen had read a novel not very long before in which the lover and young husband, the most kind, the most chivalric of men, was discovered to make his income by burgling,—if there is such a word,—which means that he was a burglar of consummate cleverness, and had kept himself entirely from suspicion. Who could tell that John might not be something of that sort? Or there might be an establishment of coiners, as in Lord Lytton's “Night and Morning,” in that Belgravian house? A peasant boy carrying travellers' bags at a railway station, and then a thriving artist selling pictures at the rate of five hundred pounds a year, and possessing house property in Belgravia. “But then he is an Oxford man,” Mrs. Austen said to herself. That was the only gleam of comfort; but how by any possibility it could fit in between the other chapters she could not imagine. Oh, if he would only tell her his story simply, whatever it was! She was not a woman to be frightened by humble birth. The Austens had always been people in a good position, and she flattered herself her own family was at least as good: but still the Vicar's wife was a woman of the century, and if he had raised himself by his own exertions{{bar|2}} But the house in Belgravia, which was a palace, and full of beautiful things,—perhaps, who could tell, unholy gear, got he dared not say how! To think that Edith, her Edith, might be taken home to that, and afterwards make some dreadful discovery and break her heart! Mrs. Austen took a walk round and round the garden, hiding in all the sheltered nooks, and keeping out of the eye and the repeated calls of her family for a long time, going over and over this terrible question. How could she now solve it? John was quite frank up to a certain point, but there he stopped; and how could she cross-question him as to these very intimate concerns with which, perhaps, she had nothing to do? And yet she had a right to know all about him before she gave him Edith. Poor Mrs. Austen did not know what to do. And I confess it was very ridiculous of John to make any mystery about it. There was nothing in his birth or in his life which he had any reason to be ashamed of. His father and mother had not “got on.” They had parted, and he had been brought up on his mother's small income till he was sixteen; and then his father had died, and he had suddenly been made aware, never having given any previous thought to it, that he was the heir to a large fortune. This was the simple truth. If it was a mystery, yet it was not a mystery which had anything disgraceful in it. His mother might be blamed, but for folly and want of understanding only, not for anything shameful. Why he should have hesitated to tell the Austens all this, who could say? It was highly absurd on his part. He had thought of giving Edith a surprise in the Lord of Burleigh way, taking her to his house, which he had made very handsome, a beautiful place, indeed a show house, and after showing her all its beauties and gloating over her admiration, saying to her, “All of this is thine and mine.” It was a foolish idea, but he had cherished it. As for the parents, the settlements, when they were produced, would very well satisfy them. And he was delighted with the good faith which took him, as he thought, for granted, and on his own estimate. “But we must not let it go on,” said the Vicar: “an errand boy—of no family; we cannot let it go on.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“Mr. Austin took a walk round and round the garden.”''}}}} “Oh, family!” cried Mrs. Austen; “who is of any family nowadays? As long as a man has enough, and is presentable and well behaved, I don't think anything of his family, if that were all.” “There was a great financial man, a stockbroker or something of the kind, of the name of Rothbury,” said the Vicar reflectively. “If John had been connected with a man like that he would not have been brought up in a French village,” said Mrs. Austen, with most reasonable decision and firmness, cutting her husband short; and he recognised the justice of what she said: yet, notwithstanding, it was a little comfort to him that there was a great financial man whose name was Rothbury. It afforded some kind of vague guarantee that things might come right. And then there was the extraordinary yet unmistakable certainty that John Rothbury was a Brasenose man. Such a jumble of facts was beyond any one's power to reconcile and arrange, and whilst they were pausing and wondering the days ran on, and the wedding drew near. It was to be a wedding without fuss, for the Austens were far from rich; and Mrs. Austen, though it was a little against her Church principles, was yet deeply grateful in her heart that the afternoon marriages, which were now the fashion, made anything like a wedding-breakfast impossible. But this did make it possible to ask, so to speak, the whole island to Edith's marriage. Though she sent out the invitations with an anxious heart, she yet did send them out; and everybody accepted. It would have been the most delightful anticipation to Mrs. Austen, with nothing but triumph in it, had it not been for that drop of bitterness, dropped into the heart of all that was sweet. And throughout the whole, need I say, the Vicar kept up that continual cry, “Are you going to let things go on, Mary? How can we let things go on? He ought to be brought to book. He ought to be made to explain everything. Surely you are not going to let everything go on?” “Bring him to book yourself,” she said at last, turning to bay. Even the wife of a clergyman loses patience sometimes. “Make him explain: you are the proper person!” Then the Vicar was cowed, and retired to his study, saying no more. Must he be brought to book? Must he be made to explain? She went over all the arguments, for and against, over and over. A French peasant boy—an English Oxford man—a thriving artist making five hundred a year—a man who never sold his daubs at all, but hung them in a gallery all to themselves in a house in Belgravia. But how could a French peasant boy have a house in Belgravia? or a burglar or coiner be an Oxford man? Indeed, Mrs. Austen soon gave up the burglaring and coining as inconceivable, as things only to be imagined in a novel, not for common life. And all the time she was going about Edith's simple trousseau, making the “things” at home, putting her own fine needlework into them to make up for the lace and embroideries of the shop. “What is the matter with mother? Is it only because Edith is going away?” the other children said. Perhaps the only one who had an inkling as to what was meant by the shaking of the Vicar's head and the anxiety on Mrs. Austen's brow was John; and I am sorry to say that he did not behave as he should have done in the matter. He took the parents very lightly. He was disposed to laugh at their uneasiness. So long as it was all right with Edith he did not care. It was Edith he was in love with, and not her parents, as is the way of young men; and when he was questioned he had a way of turning the inquiries off. One day Mrs. Austen asked him, “Where did you say your house was, in town?” suddenly, with an elaborate air of impromptu which betrayed her. “I don't think I ever said where it was,” he replied. “You said it was let; and then you said if you got tired of wandering you could take Edith home there.” “Yes,” said John, with a laugh; “I could send off the tenant, don't you know? Nothing could be more easy; you have to give them notice, and the thing is done.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“Then she turned sternly upon the lawyer.”''}}}} “The thing is not done in a moment,” said Mrs. Austen, shaking her head; and then added, “and you relied upon the rent for a part of your income.” “Oh, the income is all right,” said John lightly; and then he was carried off by Edith, who came just then into the room equipped for a walk. The Vicar was present, but he never said a word. “How can I question the man about his most private affairs?” he asked. “But, Mary, you should really enter into it more fully; you should bring him to book.” Should she put a stop to it all,—deprive Edith of the comfort of five hundred pounds a year, a serene and peaceful happiness which her mother had never attained, all on the chance that John, who was an Oxford man and, besides, wore truth and honesty written on his face, was a burglar or a coiner, or got his money in some other illegitimate way,—and break the girl's heart into the bargain? The Vicar went on shaking his head as if he would have shaken it off. The poor woman was so exasperated at last that she rushed at him in a fury and caught that large head by its grey locks in her two hands. “Oh, for goodness' sake, stop shaking your head! or else do something yourself!” she cried. “Don't you preach to us every day that we ought to have faith?” “In God,” said the Vicar, trying to shake—as a dog barks internally when prevented from utterance—notwithstanding the firm grip of his wife's hands. “And in man too,” Mrs. Austen cried, letting him go, like a momentarily arrested pendulum, in a still stronger oscillation from side to side. This is an episode in John Rothbury's history in which I cannot justify his action. But it may be said that, when the settlements were placed before the parents, there was such a scene in the Vicar's library as had never been seen before. There was nothing to settle, as the lawyer gravely remarked,—as if they did not know that!—on the lady's side. But on John's! Mrs. Austen read those wonderful papers over her husband's shoulder, and it was some time before either of them could quite understand through the phraseology of the law what wonderful thing it was that had happened. “Oh, Edward!” she cried at last, with a sort of shriek that ran through the house; and then she turned sternly upon the lawyer, who sat by as calm as a cabbage, and asked vehemently if it was all true. “Is what all true?” said that astonished man. “This!” cried the excited mother, striking the papers with her hand. “Has he got all these things? Is he as rich as that? Do you mean to tell me{{bar|2}}?” But here the Vicar took his part, as became him, as the head and sovereign authority in the house. “Compose yourself,” he said, laying his hand quite affectionately upon hers, which was quivering. “Have not I always said, my dear, that John Rothbury was a man we could fully confide in, from every point of view?” Meanwhile Edith, who had never known any of these tremors, was trying on her wedding-gown; and John—much amused by the thought of the revelation which was bursting upon the elder people, and also of what the dignified Mr. Simmon, one of the distinguished firm, of Douglas & Simmon, would think of the Vicar's study, with its smell of smoke—was waiting for his last good-night till that process was over. And the wedding next day was the prettiest wedding that had been seen in the island for many a day. And everybody was there; and it somehow crept out among the crowd that Edith Austen was making the finest match, and that her husband was no mere landscape-painter, as everybody had supposed, but a man with—Heaven only knew how many thousands a year. No wonder her mother beamed! But Edith, it was said (though no one believed it), was the sole individual who did not know. {{right|[[author:Margaret Oliphant Oliphant|{{sc|M. O. W.

But John was so far from any knowledge of what was going on in the world that it is to be feared he had not even heard of Millet, but only imagined vaguely a wondering beatific existence all given up to art, and conscious of nothing else, nothing finer or more desirable in the world. But he was a youth of very conscientious mind, and when he discovered that he was the heir of a large fortune he put himself with great docility into the hands of his guardians and men of business, and, suffered himself to be trained in the most correct way according to all the necessities of what one of them called his “station,” though John was aware that he had in reality no station, but only wealth and a blank record like that of one who had no ancestors, nobody who had gone before him in the path of life. His father, who had made all the money, had been unknown to John, and he had no relatives nor any fixed place in the world. He had, indeed, a house in London, but that did not count as a home. His mother, after having so long accustomed herself to the barest elements of life, did not feel capable of any other manner of living, and remained in the cottage in the south of France, which she had chosen for her dwelling before her son was born. And thus John was virtually alone in the world. He was a most docile ward in the hands of his governors, so long as he was under age, and even beyond that time so long as his education lasted. He went to Oxford dutifully, having been prepared with care for that crowning point of training, and though he never distinguished himself in the faintest degree, got through very well in the crowd. But after this he took the reins in his own hands, and pursued the way that pleased his childish thought. He had no special duty to his country, no “place” to keep up, or territorial influence to exercise; so he gave himself up to what was in reality the only thing he loved in the world, which was Art. I doubt whether he would ever have become a Millet, even had he been left to pursue that career, as he originally intended; but he did attain to painting pictures which, if they were not great, were at least very sincere and natural, and possessed a quiet character and originality not to be despised. His life was innocently Bohemian, very free and untroubled, full of wanderings in beautiful places, and brotherhood with queer people, but with very little of the wildness of the society which is generally distinguished by that name; or, at least, of the supposed wildness which is conventionally attributed to it. John was ''bourgeois'' in the cleanness of his life and manners; he did not like noise, and hated drinking; he was, in fact, born respectable, though he disliked any ties upon his personal freedom. This is in reality, I think, the true artist temperament, though the world is pleased to call it unconventional, meaning unruly and disorderly—whereas order is the breath of its nostrils. John was very particular about all his simple surroundings: he pulled down curtains and thrust ugly ornaments out of the way with a freedom which somehow no French ''aubergiste'', and scarcely even any English village innkeeper, took amiss. Perhaps this arose from the fact that John was more liberal than artist-guests usually are, keeping no very strict eye upon the little sundries of a bill as most of them do, and allowing himself to be discreetly fleeced for the benefit of the company in general; and partly that he knew exactly how to deal with the Frenchmen, at least of that class, as one to the manner born. {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''"His life was ... full of wanderings in beautiful places"''}}}} Thus he spent his life in his own way, and it was a very enjoyable life. Few people suspected that he had a house in Belgravia to which he might retire at any moment, or a great deal of money upon which he could draw as he pleased. Still less was it generally known that he had been brought up as a French peasant. What his comrades knew of him was that he was a very good fellow, who might be safely asked for a small loan in time of need, or who would even offer that kindness where he saw it was much wanted, and who never troubled any one about paying back. To account for this he always said that he had had some money left him, and that, as he had neither wife nor child, he wanted it much less than many others did. He sold a picture now and then, at which he always had the air of being astonished as well as pleased, protesting that it was all luck, and that the others, which remained on the painters' hands, were really much better than his, which sometimes, no doubt, was the case. He said freely that he was a lucky fellow, and people generally took him at his word. He was certainly one who was content, and loved his art and his freedom, and his long days' sketchings out of doors, and the humours of the little artist community which is wont to gather together at all sorts of out-of-the-way places, very gregarious and friendly, and admiring the beauty of the world as nobody else does. John loved to sit among them, and hear them adoring the light as it came upon their bit of landscape, or upon the curves of a figure—and the landscape or the figure upon which the light came—and the distances and the foregrounds, and the human grace and outline, and all the beautiful things which these (sometimes rough) fellows admired and lingered over with an exquisite pleasure. He too admired and adored, and fell into despair over his own attempted renderings of these lovely things. And yet there was always a grace in his roughest studies, which was not lost even in the most elaborate of his pictures, the grace of a real sense of beauty and a real sympathy with life. This life went on for many years, till John had entered upon the thirties, the full maturity of manhood. And then a thing happened to him, the strangest thing in life, yet the most common thing, and occurring every day. He fell in love—all at once, without any warning, in that perfectly unprepared and unintentional way which often happens among the most unlikely of men. It was not that he wanted a wife, which is the motive with some men. Most certainly he did not want a wife whose advent would disturb all his plans and force him back into the trammels of society. This, I suppose, was why, when his love came to the boiling pitch, he presented himself to the parents of his Edith solely as he was, or as appearances showed him, as an artist doing tolerably well in his profession, and able to keep his wife more or less comfortably. These parents were the vicar of a little parish in the Isle of Wight and his wife—good, honest people, who were naturally poor, and whose daughter, one of several, had shown some taste for drawing, and had been sent to such schools of art as they could hear of, or get at, to cultivate this faculty. Poor Edith was not a genius, as these good people had fondly hoped at first, but she had found a little market for her modest drawings—better, perhaps, than if she had had more power or pretension; and they were satisfied that they had done what was the best for her. It was necessary that their girls should learn to do something for themselves, they sadly acknowledged, “in case anything should happen to me,” the Vicar said. It was certain that this “anything” must happen sooner or later, for the Vicar was an old man; and the girls took their work very cheerfully, as it is happily now the fashion for girls to do, not bemoaning themselves, as in a previous generation. Margaret, the eldest, was a governess; as for little Dorothy, it was not as yet decided what she should be trained to be. There was great commotion at the Vicarage when John, with a somewhat heavy foot (which he retained from his peasant days, nothing ever obliterating the ''sabot'' from the habits of the human step), came up the gravel walk to the old parson's study into which the evening sun was streaming level with blinding force. The house was a pretty house, covered with a great flowering myrtle, which was the pride of the parish, and showed its round pink buds at the window of the odd little den, full of mouldy books, kept wholesome by the constant fumigation of the Vicar's pipe, which was the old gentleman's refuge from all the cares of the world. He came out of it, when John made his exit into the garden, where Edith, very nervous, was waiting for him, with his grey hair all rubbed up and standing on end round his head, and calling for “Mary, Mary,” in a voice which went over all the house. This perturbed tone, with which she was very well acquainted, unearthed Mrs. Austen from the spare bedroom, in which, as in the only unoccupied place, she was cutting out under-garments for the sewing-class. “I am coming, I am coming, Edward,” she cried, as she put down her big scissors, and rubbed her forefinger and thumb which were almost blistered by the use of those implements. She hurried after him to the drawing-room, where he had already seated himself in the species of confessional to which he resorted when he went thus specially into this apartment in the working portion of the day. He was the Vicar, and he had a high sense of his own sacerdotal dignity; nevertheless there were moments in which the peace of his mind depended upon a free and full confession into his wife's private and particular ear. “Mary,” he said, with tremendous seriousness, “I have just had a very strange visitor, Mr. Rothbury the artist. And what do you think he wants?—our Edith for his wife!” “Well, my dear,” said Mrs. Austen with composure, “I cannot say I am very much surprised.” “Surprised! Edith, whom we thought we had done so well for, training her for her water-colours.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“John made his exit to where Edith, very nervous, was waiting for him.”''}}}} “Ah, Edward, that is all very true,” said Mrs. Austen; “and I wish we had the money in our pockets that she has cost for that. But so far as she is concerned I am sure it will be much happier that her husband should do the water-colours and she look after the house.” “Do you really think so?” he asked. “I thought you would be disappointed, after all the trouble we have taken.” “Oh, disappointed!” she said—thus brushing that folly aside. “And did he tell you what his means were? and does it seem to you that he has enough to keep her comfortably? and can he make any provision in case of—anything happening?” This paraphrase of the more dreadful words, death and misfortune, was the expression always used between the Vicar and his wife. The Vicar rubbed up his stubby grey locks still more. “He did say something about five hundred a year; but I was so much taken by surprise, and so uncertain how you would take it{{bar|2}}” “Five hundred a year!” his wife repeated, “and we've never had more than three hundred and fifty.” She put up her hand to her eyes, and a sob came into her voice. “That's a very good income for a young couple—oh, a very good income—to begin upon. I suppose he expects to make more as he goes on. And, Edward, it is very important to know whether he has anything to settle. Did he say he had anything to settle? He might die, though God forbid it, and leave Edith with perhaps—others to provide for. You must inquire into that, my dear.” “Mary,” said the Vicar, “Edith has nothing. How can I ask him questions about his most intimate concerns, when we have nothing to give on our side?” “What nonsense!” cried the troubled woman; “haven't we Edith to give—a girl that any man might be proud of. And she will have to give up her profession; and there probably will be—others to take into consideration. If he has no money to settle, you must make him insure his life.” “My dear Mary!” said the Vicar in despair. “How am I to speak to a stranger like Mr. Rothbury about his most intimate concerns?” “Oh, Edward, don't be so ridiculous!” Mrs. Austen cried; and then she added with composure that she supposed she must do it herself. “Though it always comes so much better from a man,” she said. But this the Vicar deprecated as quite a mistake on her part. “He will not mind it from you,” said this disingenuous clergyman. “He will think that you don't know much of business, and that if you're over anxious it's very excusable in a mother; whereas me he would expect to speak like a man of the world.” Poor Vicar! if that was his opinion it was one which was not shared by any of his family. But John, on being talked to, proved himself most happily ready to do anything that was required. He was ready to settle upon Edith a house he had in London, which brought in a very decent rent, he said; or he would insure his life, or do anything Mrs. Austen pleased. He was, indeed, so entirely at his ease about this that his very compliance raised doubt in the anxious mother's mind. He talked quite calmly of insuring his life for thousands! “And where is the money to come from to pay the premiums?” she said with a troubled countenance, being well aware what a business it was to scrape together enough to pay the Vicar's premiums once a year. But she had to be satisfied for the moment with these assurances, and Edith was as happy as the day was long. Edith was so happy that she did not mind at all whether John had five hundred pounds or farthings a year. “He wants us just to go on as he has been doing, travelling a great deal and sketching everywhere, and enjoying all the most beautiful places in the world. Oh, mother! think of going to Italy, and perhaps Spain, and all the places that one has dreamt of, but never hoped to see!” cried Edith, in her delight. But Mrs. Austen shook her head. “Do you mean that, you are, to have no house—no home of your own to settle down in?” she said in dismay. “Not till we get old and want to settle down. Not now, when we are both young and free; we are to work together, and draw together, and never to have a dull hour,” Edith said, radiant with smiles. Poor thing! poor young unthinking girl! But how was her mother to convince her that this was not the most desirable life in the world? Mrs. Austen did not think it at all desirable. What she wished for was a house,—it might be quite a small house to begin with—decently furnished, with a little plate for the table, which no doubt the friends of the young couple would give them as wedding presents, if properly directed thereto. Had not Mrs. Cramer given Alice Scott a dozen of spoons only the other day? and Edith was a much greater favourite with that lady than ever Alice had been. A little house with a Brussels carpet in the little drawing-room, and those art carpets, which only cost thirty-five shillings each, in the bedrooms; and, perhaps, some nice second-hand furniture, which is so much more the fashion nowadays than anything new. Mrs. Austen having succeeded so well in the matter of the life insurance, resolved to put forth to John the importance of having a house ready for Edith, and giving up this sort of vagabond scheme of wandering, without delay. He received the representation—made by her with great nervousness—with the same easy good-humour which he had shown before. “There is the house in London,” he said: “whenever we like we can come home to that.” “But you said it was let, and that the rent{{bar|2}}” “To be sure,” he said, “it is let; but that stops at the end of the season, or whenever we please.” “But—but—Mr. Rothbury, the rent was to be the provision for Edith; the settlement{{bar|2}}” “Oh, was it?” he said lightly; “well, we must put something in its place.” “But—it was a great part of your income, I understood. I am afraid you are not a very good man of business. A house to live in is of great importance; but something to live upon is more important still.” “That will be all right, Mrs. Austen. The lawyers will look after that. Edith and I will do very well. I assure you you need not fear.” “That is all very well,” she said, with a troubled countenance; “but the Vicar will insist on guarantees. You can't live on the rent of your house, and occupy your house, and settle it on Edith—all these three things together. The Vicar, I am afraid, dear Mr. Rothbury, will expect something very much more definite.” “Well,” said John, “I can insure my life for a few thousands more. You like the idea of insuring one's life!” “When you have plenty of money to pay the premiums. Do you know what a few thousands insured cost a year? And where are you to get the money?” Mrs. Austen asked, almost in a tragic tone. But John Rothbury only laughed, and assured her that he and Edith would do very well: which was the most unsatisfactory answer to a business discussion that could be in the world. {{c|II.}} {{sc|It}} was on that same evening—when Mrs. Austen was still in this puzzled and troubled state, which naturally she had communicated to the Vicar, in whom there was no light on the subject—that George Gregory came in to tea. He was one of the artist band with whom Edith—who had met them all sketching one time or another, and who had the modern young woman's confidence in ''camaraderie'', and conviction that all the elderly nonsense about the impossibility of friendship between men and women was contemptible indeed—had formed {{SIC|acquantance}}, and to whom the Vicar, with a clerical impulse of hospitality and his usual imprudence, had given a general invitation. All the family, except Mrs. Austen herself, were of opinion that it did not matter how many people you asked to tea. If it had been to dinner, indeed, or even to supper—but a cup of tea and a piece of cake or bread and butter, of what consequence could that be in a house where so much of those simple dainties was consumed every day? Mrs. Austen, in this as in many details, ran counter to the general mind of the Vicarage. She knew how soon an extra spoonful of tea in the pot and an extra loaf cut down for bread and butter mounted up; and all those painter young men ate bread and butter as if they thought it cost nothing. But this was one of the points on which Mrs. Austen was overborne by the family and compelled to submit. It was, as has been said, on the very evening when there had arisen that discussion between Edith's mother and John as to the house. George Gregory was one of the artist brotherhood whom no one liked very much, but he was one who was most assiduous in his devotion to the household gods of tea and bread and butter in the Vicarage. He had been absent for a little time, and had not heard, or pretended he had not heard, “about John,”—which was the manner in which the family described Edith's engagement. And he said, “Rothbury!—oh, he's a queer fellow!” when some one mentioned somewhat familiarly his name. “How is he a queer fellow?” said Mrs. Austen, pricking up her ears “Well, in every way, I think,” said the malevolent one. “He has always plenty of money, but no one knows where it comes from. As for his making three hundred a year, or one hundred a year, by selling his pictures, I don't believe a word of it. He can't paint a little bit. He copies Millet—French Millet, you know, like all those Paris fellows. I am not sure that I think such a lot of Millet as some do—but his imitators! And yet the fellow has always plenty of money, and flings it about like a lord.” Mr. Gregory was aware of more than one loan which never would be repaid to John, but which burned the borrower's pockets, so to speak, all the same. Mrs. Austen grew pale. Edith was fortunately not present, and therefore could not be affected by this report; but it struck the Vicar absolutely dumb for the moment, and he sat gaping at the speaker, who was exhilarated by the sensation he had made. “If he has plenty of money,” said Mrs. Austen, “I daresay it is from his property if it is not from his art. I happen to know that he has houses in the best quarter of London.” “Oh, that house in Belgravia!” the artist said; “everybody knows of that. It's part of the mystery. It is not let, Mrs. Austen, any more than I am. When he goes to town he goes there, and it's a palace. It's there he hangs all his pictures, I suppose, that he pretends to sell. He should have quite a gallery!” Gregory said, with a laugh. “And there's another queer thing about him which very few people know.” The Vicar had been making signals of distress, betraying the part he took in the matter, to his wife for some moments. He said now, “This is very serious, Mary; this is very serious,” shaking his great head. “I don't know,” said Mrs. Austen, “that it matters very much to us how queer Mr. Rothbury may be; but, for the sake of the story, what is the other queer things that people don't know?” “Well, you may see it in him,” said the unfaithful brother. “Don't you notice the clumsy way he walks, as if he were wearing wooden shoes? Well, so he did once: he was brought up in a little French place, like a little clodhopper. Just a little peasant he was, hanging about the railway to carry a bag, and so forth. I knew a fellow once that saw him at it—just a little Jacques Bonhomme, don't you know.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“'This is very serious, Mary.'”''}}}} The Vicar's eyes grew larger and larger; his grey locks began to erect themselves on his head. “Mary,” he said, “Mary, it is well that we have heard this.” She gave her shoulders a shrug and wrench in her impatience. “If Mr. Rothbury has raised himself to his present position by his own exertions, it is the greatest credit to him, I am sure,” she said. “Ah, yes, if he has done that!” said the other, with a laugh. “But that's a mystery, like all the rest.” “I think we have discussed our neighbours quite long enough,” said Mrs. Austen, for Edith had just come in and taken her place at the table; and she changed the subject so determinedly that even that evil tongue could find no more opportunity of speech. Gregory went away, however, chuckling to himself with a sense that he had “dished,” as he said, John Rothbury, a fellow who was so well off as to lend money to men a great deal better than himself, confound him! and who did sell his daubs too, taking the bread out of other fellows' mouths. After their uncomfortable visitor was gone, the Vicar tried every means he could think of to get his wife's private ear. He was very much troubled, the poor old gentleman! He accepted this new-comer's word against John, whom he was much better acquainted with, with that faith of the ignorant which is so unaccountable and exasperating. “It must be put a stop to—it must be put a stop to,” he said to himself. For her part, Mrs. Austen was troubled too. She did not know how to reconcile these strangely differing details. A peasant boy in France—well, if he had raised himself by his own exertions! And then that house in town which had already troubled her mind, which was let, and was to be settled on Edith, and yet was a home that would be open to them; and was a palace, this man said, with all his unsold pictures hanging in it. These things were enough to make Mrs. Austen very uncomfortable, though she did not give in as her husband did. They were all heightened, too, to her, by John's extreme easy-mindedness, by his almost laughing suggestion of one way after another of supplying the necessary settlement, and even by the lavish character of his presents, and his readiness to produce money for anything that was wanted—parish charities, choir excursions, or whatever Edith might chance to be interested in. When her husband finally secured her attention, after many efforts, she was in a very perturbed state. “My dear, I am afraid Mr. Rothbury is not the man we thought,” he said, shaking his old head, when he had at last beguiled her into his study, from which there was no escape. “How dreadfully untidy you are, Edward! and what a quantity of books you have out of the shelves! You can't be reading all these at once,” she said. “My dear Mary, I was speaking to you of Mr. Rothbury.” “Oh yes, I know! But to bring me into a place smelling of dust like this, and of tobacco; I don't really know which is worst,” she cried, with many sniffs of disgust. “Mary, don't turn me off like this. If this young man was really an uneducated boy, carrying parcels from the railway, and then suddenly has a great command of money and a house in town{{bar|2}}” “We knew he had a house in town,” said Mrs. Austen reproachfully, as if that was an argument. “Well, yes, so we did,” her husband replied; “he made no secret of that,” accepting the statement, too, on his side, as if there was logic in it. “And if he was only a peasant boy,” cried Mrs. Austen, suddenly thinking of another thing, which really was an argument, “how comes he, Edward, I ask you, to be an Oxford man?—for that he is, as you know.” “There is certainly a great deal in that,” said the Vicar, staggered. “A Brasenose man. It is not very great for scholarship, but still it is a good college.” “Which is a great deal more than that young man Gregory ever was—who never has a good word for any one,” cried his wife triumphantly; and then she turned tail to the question of the books, and put some of them, which the Vicar particularly wanted, back into the shelves without remorse or pity, so that Mr. Austen was very glad finally to get her out of his den, and to take what comfort he could from his pipe and his thoughts alone. {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“Putting the books back into the shelves without remorse.” ''}}}} But the Vicars wife was not at all at her ease. She took an opportunity next day to question John about his early life. “How well you speak French!” she said. “I heard you reading something out loud to Edith, and it was so different from the common English pronunciation. You must have a turn for languages.” This was her subtle way of opening the subject. “No credit to me,” he said. “French was my first language. I used to know it better than English.” “Dear me!” she said innocently; “was that because you had a French nurse, or were your parents living abroad?” “My mother lived abroad, and she does so now. I am going to take Edith to see her,” he said, with a queer look; “but it must be later in the year, for at present it would be too hot.” Mrs. Austen pondered for a little, and then she said, “You must have led a very chequered life. Brought up in France, and then going to Oxford, and then an artist,—I can't follow you, I that have always lived in one place. It makes my head go round.” “Well,” he said, “it is quite true. I have had an odd life.” And his face, which had been so gay, grew grave, and he gave a little sigh, but said not another word. What was poor Mrs. Austen to do? They had made all the inquiries they could about him, as prudent parents must. And they had got, as even the Vicar allowed, “every satisfaction.” But there was a mystery, notwithstanding the assurance of those very respectable lawyers in London, who had certified to Mr. Rothbury's respectability, and that his circumstances were as he had stated them. But that was a phrase which would bear many meanings. Mrs. Austen had read a novel not very long before in which the lover and young husband, the most kind, the most chivalric of men, was discovered to make his income by burgling,—if there is such a word,—which means that he was a burglar of consummate cleverness, and had kept himself entirely from suspicion. Who could tell that John might not be something of that sort? Or there might be an establishment of coiners, as in Lord Lytton's “Night and Morning,” in that Belgravian house? A peasant boy carrying travellers' bags at a railway station, and then a thriving artist selling pictures at the rate of five hundred pounds a year, and possessing house property in Belgravia. “But then he is an Oxford man,” Mrs. Austen said to herself. That was the only gleam of comfort; but how by any possibility it could fit in between the other chapters she could not imagine. Oh, if he would only tell her his story simply, whatever it was! She was not a woman to be frightened by humble birth. The Austens had always been people in a good position, and she flattered herself her own family was at least as good: but still the Vicar's wife was a woman of the century, and if he had raised himself by his own exertions{{bar|2}} But the house in Belgravia, which was a palace, and full of beautiful things,—perhaps, who could tell, unholy gear, got he dared not say how! To think that Edith, her Edith, might be taken home to that, and afterwards make some dreadful discovery and break her heart! Mrs. Austen took a walk round and round the garden, hiding in all the sheltered nooks, and keeping out of the eye and the repeated calls of her family for a long time, going over and over this terrible question. How could she now solve it? John was quite frank up to a certain point, but there he stopped; and how could she cross-question him as to these very intimate concerns with which, perhaps, she had nothing to do? And yet she had a right to know all about him before she gave him Edith. Poor Mrs. Austen did not know what to do. And I confess it was very ridiculous of John to make any mystery about it. There was nothing in his birth or in his life which he had any reason to be ashamed of. His father and mother had not “got on.” They had parted, and he had been brought up on his mother's small income till he was sixteen; and then his father had died, and he had suddenly been made aware, never having given any previous thought to it, that he was the heir to a large fortune. This was the simple truth. If it was a mystery, yet it was not a mystery which had anything disgraceful in it. His mother might be blamed, but for folly and want of understanding only, not for anything shameful. Why he should have hesitated to tell the Austens all this, who could say? It was highly absurd on his part. He had thought of giving Edith a surprise in the Lord of Burleigh way, taking her to his house, which he had made very handsome, a beautiful place, indeed a show house, and after showing her all its beauties and gloating over her admiration, saying to her, “All of this is thine and mine.” It was a foolish idea, but he had cherished it. As for the parents, the settlements, when they were produced, would very well satisfy them. And he was delighted with the good faith which took him, as he thought, for granted, and on his own estimate. “But we must not let it go on,” said the Vicar: “an errand boy—of no family; we cannot let it go on.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“Mr. Austin took a walk round and round the garden.”''}}}} “Oh, family!” cried Mrs. Austen; “who is of any family nowadays? As long as a man has enough, and is presentable and well behaved, I don't think anything of his family, if that were all.” “There was a great financial man, a stockbroker or something of the kind, of the name of Rothbury,” said the Vicar reflectively. “If John had been connected with a man like that he would not have been brought up in a French village,” said Mrs. Austen, with most reasonable decision and firmness, cutting her husband short; and he recognised the justice of what she said: yet, notwithstanding, it was a little comfort to him that there was a great financial man whose name was Rothbury. It afforded some kind of vague guarantee that things might come right. And then there was the extraordinary yet unmistakable certainty that John Rothbury was a Brasenose man. Such a jumble of facts was beyond any one's power to reconcile and arrange, and whilst they were pausing and wondering the days ran on, and the wedding drew near. It was to be a wedding without fuss, for the Austens were far from rich; and Mrs. Austen, though it was a little against her Church principles, was yet deeply grateful in her heart that the afternoon marriages, which were now the fashion, made anything like a wedding-breakfast impossible. But this did make it possible to ask, so to speak, the whole island to Edith's marriage. Though she sent out the invitations with an anxious heart, she yet did send them out; and everybody accepted. It would have been the most delightful anticipation to Mrs. Austen, with nothing but triumph in it, had it not been for that drop of bitterness, dropped into the heart of all that was sweet. And throughout the whole, need I say, the Vicar kept up that continual cry, “Are you going to let things go on, Mary? How can we let things go on? He ought to be brought to book. He ought to be made to explain everything. Surely you are not going to let everything go on?” “Bring him to book yourself,” she said at last, turning to bay. Even the wife of a clergyman loses patience sometimes. “Make him explain: you are the proper person!” Then the Vicar was cowed, and retired to his study, saying no more. Must he be brought to book? Must he be made to explain? She went over all the arguments, for and against, over and over. A French peasant boy—an English Oxford man—a thriving artist making five hundred a year—a man who never sold his daubs at all, but hung them in a gallery all to themselves in a house in Belgravia. But how could a French peasant boy have a house in Belgravia? or a burglar or coiner be an Oxford man? Indeed, Mrs. Austen soon gave up the burglaring and coining as inconceivable, as things only to be imagined in a novel, not for common life. And all the time she was going about Edith's simple trousseau, making the “things” at home, putting her own fine needlework into them to make up for the lace and embroideries of the shop. “What is the matter with mother? Is it only because Edith is going away?” the other children said. Perhaps the only one who had an inkling as to what was meant by the shaking of the Vicar's head and the anxiety on Mrs. Austen's brow was John; and I am sorry to say that he did not behave as he should have done in the matter. He took the parents very lightly. He was disposed to laugh at their uneasiness. So long as it was all right with Edith he did not care. It was Edith he was in love with, and not her parents, as is the way of young men; and when he was questioned he had a way of turning the inquiries off. One day Mrs. Austen asked him, “Where did you say your house was, in town?” suddenly, with an elaborate air of impromptu which betrayed her. “I don't think I ever said where it was,” he replied. “You said it was let; and then you said if you got tired of wandering you could take Edith home there.” “Yes,” said John, with a laugh; “I could send off the tenant, don't you know? Nothing could be more easy; you have to give them notice, and the thing is done.” {{c|{{sm|Illustration: ''“Then she turned sternly upon the lawyer.”''}}}} “The thing is not done in a moment,” said Mrs. Austen, shaking her head; and then added, “and you relied upon the rent for a part of your income.” “Oh, the income is all right,” said John lightly; and then he was carried off by Edith, who came just then into the room equipped for a walk. The Vicar was present, but he never said a word. “How can I question the man about his most private affairs?” he asked. “But, Mary, you should really enter into it more fully; you should bring him to book.” Should she put a stop to it all,—deprive Edith of the comfort of five hundred pounds a year, a serene and peaceful happiness which her mother had never attained, all on the chance that John, who was an Oxford man and, besides, wore truth and honesty written on his face, was a burglar or a coiner, or got his money in some other illegitimate way,—and break the girl's heart into the bargain? The Vicar went on shaking his head as if he would have shaken it off. The poor woman was so exasperated at last that she rushed at him in a fury and caught that large head by its grey locks in her two hands. “Oh, for goodness' sake, stop shaking your head! or else do something yourself!” she cried. “Don't you preach to us every day that we ought to have faith?” “In God,” said the Vicar, trying to shake—as a dog barks internally when prevented from utterance—notwithstanding the firm grip of his wife's hands. “And in man too,” Mrs. Austen cried, letting him go, like a momentarily arrested pendulum, in a still stronger oscillation from side to side. This is an episode in John Rothbury's history in which I cannot justify his action. But it may be said that, when the settlements were placed before the parents, there was such a scene in the Vicar's library as had never been seen before. There was nothing to settle, as the lawyer gravely remarked,—as if they did not know that!—on the lady's side. But on John's! Mrs. Austen read those wonderful papers over her husband's shoulder, and it was some time before either of them could quite understand through the phraseology of the law what wonderful thing it was that had happened. “Oh, Edward!” she cried at last, with a sort of shriek that ran through the house; and then she turned sternly upon the lawyer, who sat by as calm as a cabbage, and asked vehemently if it was all true. “Is what all true?” said that astonished man. “This!” cried the excited mother, striking the papers with her hand. “Has he got all these things? Is he as rich as that? Do you mean to tell me{{bar|2}}?” But here the Vicar took his part, as became him, as the head and sovereign authority in the house. “Compose yourself,” he said, laying his hand quite affectionately upon hers, which was quivering. “Have not I always said, my dear, that John Rothbury was a man we could fully confide in, from every point of view?” Meanwhile Edith, who had never known any of these tremors, was trying on her wedding-gown; and John—much amused by the thought of the revelation which was bursting upon the elder people, and also of what the dignified Mr. Simmon, one of the distinguished firm, of Douglas & Simmon, would think of the Vicar's study, with its smell of smoke—was waiting for his last good-night till that process was over. And the wedding next day was the prettiest wedding that had been seen in the island for many a day. And everybody was there; and it somehow crept out among the crowd that Edith Austen was making the finest match, and that her husband was no mere landscape-painter, as everybody had supposed, but a man with—Heaven only knew how many thousands a year. No wonder her mother beamed! But Edith, it was said (though no one believed it), was the sole individual who did not know. {{right|[[author:Margaret Oliphant Oliphant|{{sc|M. O. W.

To be divine, it is contended he should be omnipotent; and if omnipotent, though he might have refused the request, he yet had the power, if he chose, to grant it. This grievous error, it cannot be doubted, has orginated in the additional words interpolated by the translators:—"To sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but ''it shall be given to them'' for whom it is prepared of my Father." The words, ''it shall be given to them,'' are not in the original, and the proper rendering of the text is as follows:—"To sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but (or except) ''to them'' for whom it is prepared of my Father." Now, who can fail to observe the true meaning of the words, when thus faithfully rendered from the original?

By some means which he has failed adequately to explain<ref>Tychsen, pp. 22-6.</ref> he professes to be able to transliterate the cuneiform signs, and he has gratified the curiosity of the reader by presenting him with a table showing the values he has found for a great variety of signs, among which he admitted several that are defective. He saw that more than one sign may be used for the same sound; and he assigned four each to the letters ''l, r, s and x''. Conversely, he thought that the same sign might express the most diverse sounds.''E, n, t,'' are given as the different values of a single sign, No. 5 ({{x-larger|𐎿}}).''B,k,r'', and ''b, x, y,'' are assigned respectively to two others, Nos. 27 ({{x-larger|𐎹}}) and 31 ({{x-larger|𐎴}}); while two different values for the same sign are quite common. Like many of his successors, he recognised a profusion of vowels, and he has allotted nine different signs to his three forms α, ἄ, ᾶ, It is scarcely surprising that out of the nine, one turned out to be correct, No. 21 ({{x-larger|𐎠}}) ; and of the four signs he allotted to ''s'', one was correct, No. 38 ({{x-larger|𐏁}}). He was also successful in detecting the signs for ''d'' and ''u'': but as his system was based on no intelligible principle, these results were purely accidental, and could not afford a guide to future inquirers.<ref>See Appendix A, which shows the letters of the cuneiform alphabet arranged according to Niebuhr's list, and the values Tychsen has assigned to each. The numbers preceding the letters in the text refer to the numbers of the letters in Niebuhr's alphabet.</ref> Having succeeded to his satisfaction in finding known equivalents for the unknown siins, and being thereby enabled to transliterate the cuneiform text, the next step was to endeavour to make some sense of it. This he sought to do by comparing the singular words that resulted from his system with those of languages he thought must be the most nearly allied, such as Zend,<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 4ol4w5ss36jb7asncpoms5hwt39imo5 Page:The Strand Magazine (Volume 6).djvu/564 104 4018036 12507556 12504643 2022-07-24T23:37:39Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|569|''ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES.''|''THE STRAND MAGAZINE.''}}</noinclude>etc., etc. The good Steiler assured me in a postscript that he would himself look upon my compliance as a very great favour, since the lady absolutely refused to see a Swiss physician, and he could not but feel that he was incurring a great responsibility. The appeal was one which could not be ignored. It was impossible to refuse the request of a fellow-countrywoman dying in a strange land. Yet I had my scruples about leaving Holmes. It was finally agreed, however, that he should retain the young Swiss messenger with him as guide and companion while I returned to Meiringen. My friend would stay some little time at the fall, he said, and would then walk slowly over the hill to Rosenlaui, where I was to rejoin him in the evening. As I turned away I saw Holmes with his back against a rock and his arms folded, gazing down at the rush of waters. It was the last that I was ever destined to see of him in this world. When I was near the bottom of the descent I looked back. It was impossible, from that position, to see the fall, but I could see the curving path which winds over the shoulder of the hill and leads to it. Along this a man was, I remember, walking very rapidly. I could see his black figure clearly outlined against the green behind him. I noted him, and the energy with which he walked, but he passed from my mind again as I hurried on upon my errand. It may have been a little over an hour before I reached Meiringen. Old Steiler was standing at the porch of his hotel. "Well," said I, as I came hurrying up, "I trust that she is no worse?" A look of surprise passed over his face, and at the first quiver of his eyebrows my heart turned to lead in my breast. "You did not write this?" I said, pulling the letter from my pocket. "There is no sick Englishwoman in the hotel?" "Certainly not," he cried. "But it has the hotel mark upon it! Ha! it must have been written by that tall Englishman who came in after you had gone. He said{{longdash}}" But I waited for none of the landlord's explanations. In a tingle of fear I was already running down the village street, and making for the path which I had so lately descended. It had taken me an hour to come down. For all my efforts, two more had passed before I found myself at the fall of Reichenbach once more. There was Holmes's Alpine-stock still leaning against the rock by which I had left him. But there was no sign of him, and it was in vain that I shouted. My only answer was my own voice reverberating in a rolling echo from the cliffs around me. It was the sight of that Alpine-stock which turned me cold and sick. He had not gone to Rosenlaui, then. He had remained on that three-foot path, with sheer wall on one side and sheer drop upon the other, until his enemy had overtaken him. The young Swiss had gone too. He had probably been in the pay of Moriarty, and had left the two men together. And then what had happened? Who was to tell us what had happened then? I stood for a minute or two to collect myself, for I was dazed with the horror of the thing. Then I began to think of Holmes's own methods and to try to practise them in reading this tragedy. It was, alas! only too easy to do. During our conversation we had not gone to the end of the path, and the Alpine-stock marked the place where we had stood. The blackish soil is kept for ever soft by the incessant drift of spray, and a bird would leave its tread upon it. Two lines of footmarks were clearly marked along the farther end of the path, both leading away from me. There were none returning. A few yards from the end the soil was all ploughed up into a patch of mud, and the brambles and ferns which fringed the chasm were torn and bedraggled. I lay upon my face and peered over, with the spray spouting up all around me. It had darkened since I left, and now I could only see here and there the glistening of moisture upon the black walls, and far away down at the end of the shaft the gleam of the broken water. I shouted; but only that same half-human cry of the fall was borne back to my ears. But it was destined that I should after all have a last word of greeting from my friend and comrade. I have said that his Alpine-stock had been left leaning against a rock which jutted on to the path. From the top of this boulder the gleam of something bright caught my eye, and, raising my hand, I found that it came from the silver cigarette-case which he used to carry. As I took it up a small square of paper, upon which it had lain, fluttered down on to the ground. Unfolding it I found that it consisted of three pages torn from his note-book and addressed to me. It was characteristic of the man that the direction was as precise, and the writing as firm and clear, as though it had been written in his study. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> lsyky4aakanwjtiiwlh778wr5kg5qzr Page:King Alfred's West-Saxon Version of Gregory's Pastoral Care (2).djvu/432 104 4018209 12506689 12505103 2022-07-24T15:07:58Z Rho9998 2958092 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Rho9998" />{{rh|Hatton MS.]|GREGORY'S PASTORAL.|423}}</noinclude>tað, ðætte hi óngiten ðætte oft bið swiðe idel & unnyt ðara yfelena manna hreowsung, ðonne hi æfter ðæm ne tiliað nauðer ne god to dónne ne yfel to forlætanne.

Mrs. Higgins''—"Is François' health good now, Mrs. Oreillé?" ''Mrs. O''.—(''Thankful for the intervention'')—"Not very. A body couldn't expect it. He was always delicate—especially his lungs—and this odious climate tells on him strong, now, after Parry, which is so mild." ''Mrs. H''.—"I should think so. Husband says Percy'll die if he don't have a change; and so I'm going to swap round a little and see what can be done. I saw a lady from Florida last week, and she recommended Key West. I told her Percy couldn't abide winds, as he was threatened with a pulmonary affection, and then she said try St. Augustine. It's an awful distance—ten or twelve hundred mile, they say—but then in a case of this kind a body can't stand back for trouble, you know." ''Mrs. O''.—"No, of course that's so. If François don't get better soon we've got to look out for some other place, or else Europe. We've thought some of the Hot Springs, but I don't know. It's a great responsibility and a body wants to go cautious. Is Hildebrand about again, Mrs. Gashly?" ''Mrs. G''.—"Yes, but that's about all. It was indigestion, you know, and it looks as if it was chronic. And you know I do dread dyspepsia. We've all been worried a good deal about him. The doctor recommended baked apple and spoiled meat, and I think it done him good. It's about the only thing that will stay on his stomach now-a-days. We have Dr. Shovel now. Who's your doctor, Mrs. Higgins?" ''Mrs. H''.—"Well, we had Dr. Spooner a good while, but he runs so much to emetics, which I think are weakening, that we changed off and took Dr. Leathers.

In an incoherent and, as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I have endeavoured to give some account of my strange experiences in his company from the chance which first brought us together at the period of the "Study in Scarlet", up to the time of his interference in the matter of the "Naval Treaty"-an interference which had the unquestionable effect of preventing a serious international complication. It was my intention to have stopped there, and to have said nothing of that event which has created a void in my life which the lapse of two years has done little to fill. My hand has been forced, however, by the recent letters in which Colonel James Moriarty defends the memory of his brother, and I have no choice but to lay the facts before the public exactly as they occurred. I alone know the absolute truth of the matter, and I am satisfied that the time has come when no good purpose is to be served by its suppression. As far as I know, there have been only three accounts in the public Press: that in the ''Journal de Genève'' upon May 6th, 1891, the Reuter's despatch in the English papers upon May 7th, and finally the recent letters to which I have alluded. Of these the first and second were extremely condensed, while the last is, as I shall now show, an absolute perversion of the facts. It lies with me to tell for the first time what really took place between Professor Moriarty and Mr. Sherlock Holmes. It may be remembered that after my marriage, and my subsequent start in private practice, the very intimate relations which had existed between Holmes and myself became to some extent modified. He still came to me from time to time when he desired a companion in his investigations, but these occasions grew more and more seldom, until I find that in the year 1890 there were only three cases of which I retain any record. During the winter of that year and the early spring of 1891, I saw in the papers that he had been engaged by the French Government upon a matter of supreme importance, and I received two notes from Holmes, dated from Narbonne and from Nîmes, from which I gathered that his stay in France was likely to be a long one. It was with some surprise, therefore, that I saw him walk into my consulting-room upon the evening of the 24th of April. It struck me that he was looking even paler and thinner than usual. "Yes, I have been using myself up rather too freely," he remarked, in answer to my look rather than to my words; "I have been a little pressed of late. Have you any objection to my closing your shutters?" The only light in the room came from the lamp upon the table at which I had been reading. Holmes edged his way round the wall, and flinging the shutters together, he bolted them securely. "You are afraid of something?" I asked. "Well, I am." "Of what?" "Of air-guns." "My dear Holmes, what do you mean?" "I think that you know me well enough, Watson, to understand that I am by no means a nervous man. At the same time, it is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognise danger when it is close upon you. Might I trouble you for a match?" He drew in the smoke of his cigarette as if the soothing influence was grateful to him. "I must apologize for calling so late," said he, "and I must further beg you to be so unconventional as to allow me to leave your house presently by scrambling over your back garden wall." "But what does it all mean?" I asked. He held out his hand, and I saw in the light of the lamp that two of his knuckles were burst and bleeding. "It's not an airy nothing, you see," said he, smiling. "On the contrary, it is solid enough for a man to break his hand over. Is Mrs Watson in?" "She is away upon a visit." "Indeed! You are alone?" "Quite." "Then it makes it the easier for me to propose that you should come away with me for a week on to the Continent." "Where?" "Oh, anywhere. It's all the same to me."

He still came to me from time to time when he desired a companion in his investigations, but these occasions grew more and more seldom, until I find that in the year 1890 there were only three cases of which I retain any record. During the winter of that year and the early spring of 1891, I saw in the papers that he had been engaged by the French Government upon a matter of supreme importance, and I received two notes from Holmes, dated from Narbonne and from Nîmes, from which I gathered that his stay in France was likely to be a long one. It was with some surprise, therefore, that I saw him walk into my consulting-room upon the evening of the 24th of April. It struck me that he was looking even paler and thinner than usual. "Yes, I have been using myself up rather too freely," he remarked, in answer to my look rather than to my words; "I have been a little pressed of late. Have you any objection to my closing your shutters?" The only light in the room came from the lamp upon the table at which I had been reading. Holmes edged his way round the wall, and flinging the shutters together, he bolted them securely. "You are afraid of something?" I asked. "Well, I am." "Of what?" "Of air-guns." "My dear Holmes, what do you mean?" "I think that you know me well enough, Watson, to understand that I am by no means a nervous man. At the same time, it is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognise danger when it is close upon you. Might I trouble you for a match?" He drew in the smoke of his cigarette as if the soothing influence was grateful to him. "I must apologize for calling so late," said he, "and I must further beg you to be so unconventional as to allow me to leave your house presently by scrambling over your back garden wall." "But what does it all mean?" I asked. He held out his hand, and I saw in the light of the lamp that two of his knuckles were burst and bleeding. "It's not an airy nothing, you see," said he, smiling. "On the contrary, it is solid enough for a man to break his hand over. Is Mrs Watson in?" "She is away upon a visit." "Indeed! You are alone?" "Quite." "Then it makes it the easier for me to propose that you should come away with me for a week on to the Continent." "Where?" "Oh, anywhere. It's all the same to me." There was something very strange in all this. It was not Holmes's nature to take an<noinclude></noinclude> k9u8iyo284a6q2iolygi9azrp5xn8m6 Page:The Strand Magazine (Volume 6).djvu/555 104 4018542 12507491 12506165 2022-07-24T22:53:09Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|559|''ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES.''|''THE STRAND MAGAZINE.''}}</noinclude>{{image}} {{asc|"TWO OF HIS KNUCKLES WERE BURST AND BLEEDING."}} aimless holiday, and something about his pale, worn face told me that his nerves were at their highest tension. He saw the question in my eyes, and, putting his finger-tips together and his elbows upon his knees, he explained the situation. "You have probably never heard of Professor Moriarty?" said he. "Never." "Aye, there's the genius and the wonder of the thing!" he cried. "The man pervades London, and no one has heard of him. That's what puts him on a pinnacle in the records of crime. I tell you, Watson, in all seriousness, that if I could beat that man, if I could free society of him, I should feel that my own career had reached its summit, and I should be prepared to turn to some more placid line in life. Between ourselves, the recent cases in which I have been of assistance to the Royal Family of Scandinavia, and to the French Republic, have left me in such a position that I could continue to live in the quiet fashion which is most congenial to me, and to concentrate my attention upon my chemical researches. But I could not rest, Watson, I could not sit quiet in my chair, if I thought that such a man as Professor Moriarty were walking the streets of London unchallenged." "What has he done, then?" "His career has been an extraordinary one. He is a man of good birth and excellent education, endowed by Nature with a phenomenal mathematical faculty. At the age of twenty-one he wrote a treatise upon the Binomial Theorem, which has had a European vogue. On the strength of it, he won the Mathematical Chair at one of our smaller Universities, and had, to all appearance, a most brilliant career before him. But the man had hereditary tendencies of the most diabolical kind. A criminal strain ran in his blood, which, instead of being modified, was increased and rendered infinitely more dangerous by his extraordinary mental powers. Dark rumours gathered round him in the University town, and eventually he was compelled to resign his Chair and to come down to London, where he set up as an army coach. So much is known to the world, but what I am telling you now is what I have myself discovered. "As you are aware, Watson, there is no one who knows the higher criminal world of London so well as I do.

"That was my singular interview with Professor Moriarty. I confess that it left an unpleasant effect upon my mind. His soft, precise fashion of speech leaves a conviction of sincerity which a mere bully could not produce. Of course, you will say: 'Why not take police precautions against him?' The reason is that I am well convinced that it is from his agents the blow would fall.

As I passed the corner which leads from Bentinck Street on to the Welbeck Street crossing, a two-horse van furiously driven whizzed round and was on me like a flash. I sprang for the footpath and saved myself by the fraction of a second. The van dashed round by Marylebone Lane and was gone in an instant. I kept to the pavement after that, Watson, but as I walked down Vere Street a brick came down from the roof of one of the houses and was shattered to fragments at my feet. I called the police and had the place examined. There were slates and bricks piled upon the roof preparatory to some repairs, and they would have me believe that the wind had toppled over one of these. Of course I knew better, but I could prove nothing. I took a cab after that and reached my brother's rooms in Pall Mall, where I spent the day.

Now listen! You will dispatch whatever luggage you intend to take by a trusty messenger unaddressed to Victoria to-night. In the morning you will send for a hansom, desiring your man to take neither the first nor the second which may present itself. Into this hansom you will jump, and you will drive to the Strand end of the Lowther Arcade, handing the address to the cabman upon a slip of paper, with a request that he will not throw it away. Have your fare ready, and the instant that your cab stops, dash through the Arcade, timing yourself to reach the other side at a quarter-past nine. You will find a small brougham waiting close to the kerb, driven by a fellow with a heavy black cloak tipped at the collar with red. Into this you will step, and you will reach Victoria in time for the Continental express." "Where shall I meet you?" "At the station. The second first-class carriage from the front will be reserved for us." "The carriage is our rendezvous, then?" "Yes." It was in vain that I asked Holmes to remain for the evening. It was evident to me that he thought he might bring trouble to the roof he was under, and that that was the motive which impelled him to go. With a few hurried words as to our plans for the morrow he rose and came out with me into the garden, clambering over the wall which leads into Mortimer Street, and immediately whistling for a hansom, in which I heard him drive away. In the morning I obeyed Holmes's injunctions to the letter. A hansom was procured with such precautions as would prevent its being one which was placed ready for us, and I drove immediately after breakfast to the Lowther Arcade, through which I hurried at the top of my speed. A brougham was waiting with a very massive driver wrapped in a dark cloak, who, the instant that I had stepped in, whipped up the horse and rattled off to Victoria Station. On my alighting there he turned the carriage, and dashed away again without so much as a look in my direction. So far all had gone admirably. My luggage was waiting for me, and I had no difficulty in finding the carriage which Holmes had indicated, the less so as it was the only one in the train which was marked "Engaged". My only source of anxiety now was the non-appearance of Holmes. The station clock marked only seven minutes from the time when we were due to start. In vain I searched among the groups of travellers and leave-takers for the lithe figure of my friend. There was no sign of him. I spent a few minutes in assisting a venerable Italian priest, who was endeavouring to make a porter understand, in his broken English, that his luggage was to be booked through to Paris. Then, having taken another look round, I returned to my carriage, where I found that the porter, in spite of the ticket, had given me my decrepit Italian friend as a travelling companion. It was useless for me to explain to him that his presence was an intrusion, for my Italian was even more limited than his English, so I shrugged my shoulders resignedly and continued to look out anxiously for my friend. A chill of fear had come over me, as I thought that his absence might mean that some blow had fallen during the night. Already the doors had all been shut and the whistle blown, when— "My dear Watson," said a voice, "you have not even condescended to say good morning." I turned in incontrollable astonishment. The aged ecclesiastic had turned his face towards me. For an instant the wrinkles were smoothed away, the nose drew away from the chin, the lower lip ceased to protrude and the mouth to mumble, the dull eyes regained their fire, the drooping figure expanded. The next the whole frame collapsed again, and Holmes had gone as quickly as he had come. "Good heavens!" I cried. "How you startled me!" "Every precaution is still necessary," he whispered. "I have reason to think that they are hot upon our trail. Ah, there is Moriarty himself." The train had already begun to move as Holmes spoke. Glancing back I saw a tall man pushing his way furiously through the crowd and waving his hand as if he desired to have the train stopped. It was too late, however, for we were rapidly gathering momentum, and an instant later had shot clear of the station. "With all our precautions, you see that we have cut it rather fine," said Holmes, laughing. He rose, and throwing off the black cassock and hat which had formed his disguise, he packed them away in a hand-bag. "Have you seen the morning paper, Watson?" "No." {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> p1ankqb1hki93ffd0ny227b8kx76xid Page:The Strand Magazine (Volume 6).djvu/560 104 4018547 12507532 12506170 2022-07-24T23:23:31Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|565|''ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES.''|''THE STRAND MAGAZINE.''}}</noinclude>{{image}} {{asc|"MY DECREPIT ITALIAN FRIEND."}} "You haven't seen about Baker Street, then?"

"Did you find your brougham?" "Yes, it was waiting." "Did you recognize your coachman?" "No." "It was my brother Mycroft.

He said as much in our short interview, and I fancy that he meant it. I should certainly recommend you to return to your practice." It was hardly an appeal to be successful with one who was an old campaigner as well as an old friend. We sat in the Strasburg ''salle-à-manger'' arguing the question for half an hour, but the same night we had resumed our journey and were well on our way to Geneva. For a charming week we wandered up the Valley of the Rhône, and then, branching off at Leuk, we made our way over the Gemmi Pass, still deep in snow, and so, by way of Interlaken, to Meiringen. It was a lovely trip, the dainty green of the spring below, the virgin white of the winter above; but it was clear to me that never for one instant did Holmes forget the shadow which lay across him. In the homely Alpine villages or in the lonely mountain passes, I could still tell, by his quick glancing eyes and his sharp scrutiny of every face that passed us, that he was well convinced that, walk where we would, we could not walk ourselves clear of the danger which was dogging our footsteps.

It was hardly an appeal to be successful with one who was an old campaigner as well as an old friend. We sat in the Strasburg ''salle-à-manger'' arguing the question for half an hour, but the same night we had resumed our journey and were well on our way to Geneva. For a charming week we wandered up the Valley of the Rhône, and then, branching off at Leuk, we made our way over the Gemmi Pass, still deep in snow, and so, by way of Interlaken, to Meiringen. It was a lovely trip, the dainty green of the spring below, the virgin white of the winter above; but it was clear to me that never for one instant did Holmes forget the shadow which lay across him. In the homely Alpine villages or in the lonely mountain passes, I could still tell, by his quick glancing eyes and his sharp scrutiny of every face that passed us, that he was well convinced that, walk where we would, we could not walk ourselves clear of the danger which was dogging our footsteps.

''Samurai'' of the body-guard drew their swords, killed one of the Englishmen (Mr. Richardson), and wounded the two others, the lady alone escaping unhurt,<ref name="Note 41">See Appendix, note 41.</ref> Probably no incident of that troublous era excited more indignation at the time or was more discussed subsequently. But while a custom so inhuman as that obeyed by the Satsuma ''samurai'' merits execration, the fact must not be forgotten that to any Japanese behaving as these English people behaved, the same fate would have been meted out in an even more summary manner. For the rest, the outrage differed essentially from those of which foreigners had previously been victims, inasmuch as it was in no sense inspired by the "barbarian expelling" sentiment. Nevertheless, the immediate consequence was that since Satsuma refused to surrender the implicated ''samurai,'' and since the ''Shōgun's'' arm was not long enough to reach this powerful feudatory, the British Government sent a squadron to bombard his capital, Kagoshima. The remote and most important consequence was that the belligerent operations of the British ships effectually convinced the Satsuma ''samurai'' of the hopelessness of resisting foreign intercourse by force, and converted them into advocates of liberal progress towards which their previous attitude had been at best neutral.

Historians indicate the year 1867 as the date of the fall of the Shogunate, because the administrative power was then finally restored to the Emperor. But it may be asserted with greater accuracy that the Shogunate fell in the year 1862, when the Yedo Court made the radical surrender here indicated. Nor was that the only mistake. The ''Shōgun's'' ministers, underestimating the value of the Satsuma chief's friendship, paid no attention to his advice, nor took any care to strengthen his good disposition by courteous treatment. He recommended that the ''Shōgun'' should decline to proceed to Kyōtō, and should reject all proposals pointing to the expulsion of foreigners; but the Yedo Court neither heeded his counsel nor showed towards him the same consideration that they had displayed to the Chōshiu chief, with whom his relations were notoriously strained. It was thus with feelings considerably estranged that the Satsuma chief set out on his return journey to Kyōtō. On the way an incident happened which was destined to have far-reaching consequence.

The two most powerful fiefs of Japan at this epoch were Satsuma and Chōshiu. Satsuma, owing to its remote position at the extreme south of the Japanese Empire, had never been brought within the effective sphere of the Yedo Court's administrative control. Chōshiu, though less remote, was somewhat similarly circumstanced, and both had strong hereditary reasons for hostility to the Tokugawa Shogunate, These two clans were permeated with a spirit of unrest and disaffection. There were differences, however. In Chōshiu the anti-foreign feeling dominated the anti-Tokugawa, and the whole clan, lord and vassal alike, were convinced that loyalty to the Throne could not be reconciled with a liberal attitude towards foreign intercourse. In Satsuma the prevailing sentiment was anti-Tokugawa, the "barbarian-expulsion" cry being regarded as a collateral issue only. But as yet the Satsuma ''samurai'' had not openly associated themselves with either the anti-foreign or the anti-Tokugawa movement, nor had they given any evidence of the ambition that undoubtedly swayed them, the ambition of occupying a prominent place in a newly organised national polity. On the contrary, their chief, Shimazu Samuro, and his principal advisers maintained a neutral attitude toward the question of foreign intercourse, and were disposed to befriend the Shogunate, though the bulk<noinclude>{{c|214}}</noinclude> tism6c25u2vhus211vy44emzc12nt2p Page:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 3.djvu/243 104 4018597 12506353 2022-07-24T12:48:02Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rh||{{sp|FALL OF THE TOKUGAWA}}|}}</noinclude>{{hwe|currence|ocurrence}} of foreign complications.

The embarrassments resulting from such a promise were more than sufficient to counterbalance any advantage that might have accrued from the reconciliation of the two Courts, and a further element of unrest was created by a widely entertained suspicion that the marriage represented the beginning of a plot to dethrone the Emperor. In truth, the situation was rapidly assuming a character that defied the feeble adjustments and compromises of the ''Shōgun's'' ministers. Kyōtō became the centre of disaffection. Thither flocked not only the genuinely anti-foreign agitators—the "barbarian expelling party" (''jōi-tō''), as they were called,—but also the leaders of a much more formidable movement, which, having for its prime object the overthrow of the Shogunate, saw in the anti-foreign commotion an instrument capable of being utilised to that end. It would be an error to conclude that the promoters of the anti-''Shōgun'' agitation were actuated solely by an intelligent perception of the evils of the dual system of government. Many of them assuredly detected its nationally weakening effects, their appreciation of that point having been quickened by a sense of the country's helplessness to resist the advent of foreigners.

It is, indeed, more than doubtful whether any other people ever developed such an expressive vocabulary of motion, such impressive eloquence of gesture. These masked dancers of the ''Nô,'' deprived of the important assistance of facial expression, and limited to a narrow range of cadence, nevertheless succeeded in investing their performance with a character of noble dignity and profound intensity of sentiment. Very soon the ''Nô'' obtained extraordinary vogue. With the sole exception of the Emperor himself, every great personage took part in the performance; a stage was erected within the precincts of the Palace; costumes of the costliest and most beautiful materials were provided, and a collection of such garments as well as of masks and other accessories for the ''Nô,'' was counted an essential part of every aristocratic mansion's furniture. By degrees the practice of the art became a profession, but princes, nobles, and high officials did not cease to study it assiduously, and were prepared at any moment to organise performances or to take part in them. It need scarcely be said that various schools came into existence. At first, although Buddhist priests had taken such a large share in developing the ''Nô, Shintō'' shrines continued to be the principal scenes of its performance, the dance being then a ceremony of worship.

With this change is associated a skilled performer (Yusaki) upon whom Yoshimitsu conferred the name Kwanami. This man, as well as his son Seami,<ref name="Note 5">See Appendix, note 5.</ref> compiled several dramas based upon historical incidents of the Kamakura epoch, though the two writers carefully refrained from seeking materials in the events of their own time. Buddhist priests also continued to contribute to the literature of the art, and before the end of the fifteenth century some twenty dramas were regarded as the classics of the ''Nô.'' That prince of dilettante, Yoshimasa, who has already been seen extending lavish patronage to the tea cult, the incense cult, the landscape-garden cult and art in every form, gave a new impetus to the ''Nô'' by officially declaring it a ceremonious accomplishment of military men. He organised the renowned dancers into four orders, and enacted that a representative of each must repair to Kyōtō and give a performance there once during his career. Naturally that performance became the culmination of each great expert's triumph, and the "once-in-a-life ''Nô''" were conducted on a conspicuously magnificent scale. The ''Taikō'' loved the ''Nô.'' Several of the best dramas were written<noinclude>{{rule|6em|align=left}} {{smallrefs}} {{c|30}}</noinclude> n6kavrj2cqvuhesfvdh8r9c7l78sbwh Page:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 3.djvu/51 104 4018606 12506370 2022-07-24T13:09:31Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rh||{{sp|REFINEMENTS AND PASTIMES{{|}}</noinclude>at his suggestion, a new school was started by one of his ''protégés,'' and despite his personal disadvantages he took a place enthusiastically on the platform. When he attained the post of Regent, the highest office within reach of a subject, he repaired to the Court and himself performed a ''Nô'' dance in the presence of the Emperor. The ''Nô'' as here described was solemn and stately, the postures and paces as well as the drama itself being purged of every comic element, and thus completely differentiated from the mimes out of which it had grown. But art demanded that the sombreness of such representations should be relieved by some lighter scenes, and to satisfy that requirement farces were compiled for independent acting between the ''Nô.'' These farces (''Kyōgen'') were essentially of a histrionic character, the dance being omitted altogether, or entirely subordinated to the action of the piece and the dialogue. Many of them showed not only humour but wit, and the skill of the actors was excellent. The chief and the first-assistant performers in the ''Nô'' and the ''Kyōgen'' alike received the title of ''taiyu,'' which conferred upon them the right to have the curtain of the green-room held up by two men for their exits or entries, and also rendered them eligible for admission to any society.

The similarity between the ''Nô'' performances and the ancient Greek drama has often attracted attention. The chorus, the masked actors, the religious tone pervading the piece, the stage in the open air,—all these features were common to the two dramas. But a closer analogy can be found without going so far afield. The embryo of the Indian drama was a combination of song and dance at sacred festivals, just as the ''Kagura'' was the foundation of the Japanese ''Nô,'' and the development of the art in India was by narrative recitation and subsequently by dialogue, first sung, then spoken, just as the stages of progress in Japan were the recitative of the "tonsured lutist" and the "white measure-marker," followed by the sung and spoken dialogue of the ''Nô.'' A further point of resemblance is seen in the fact that, while the Japanese ''Kagura'' was founded on a mythical dance performed by the divinities before the cave of the Sun Goddess, so the Indian ''nâtya'' is supposed to have been a dance accompanied by gesticulation and speech, which was performed by the spirits and nymphs of Indra's heaven before the gods. Again, in the Indian drama the connection of the narrative was often preserved by interpreters, whose function closely resembled that<noinclude>{{c|32}}</noinclude> 6qnzwfb4eg4fvtv0ilzel2zw7m8jxr1 Page:The Angel of Lonesome Hill (1910).djvu/5 104 4018608 12506374 2022-07-24T13:12:00Z MpaaBot 350769 /* Not Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="MpaaBot" />{{c|LONESOME HILL}}</noinclude>{{c|larger block|THE ANGEL OF LONESOME HILL}} {{di|I}}T was a handful of people in the country—a simple-hearted hand- ful.

Ah, by whose hand shall those sad tears be dried, When one brief hour is fled, And her's shall pulseless rest, low with the silent dead. Yes, there was Death's dark valley drear and cold! And the hoarse dash of Jordan's swelling wave, Alone she treads: is there no earthly hold, No friend—no helper—no strong arm to save? Down to the fearful grave, In the firm courage of a faith serene, Alone she prest— And as she drew the chord That bound her to the Lord More closely round her breast, The white wing of the waiting angel spread More palpably, and earth's bright things grew pale.

Methought, 'twere better thus to dwell with them, Than with the living. 'Twas a chosen friend, Beloved in school-days' happiness, who came, And put her arm through mine, and meekly walked, As she was wont, where'er I willed to lead, To shady grove or river's sounding shore, Or dizzy cliff, to gaze enthralled below On wide-spread landscape and diminished throng.

At first these were confined to the higher classes, brilliancy and richness of costume being an essential. But by degrees the circle widened, and in the days when Oda Nobunaga, the ''Taikō,'' and Tokugawa Iyeyasu were engaged in restoring peace and order, autumn dances began to be organised by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural orders, aristocrats taking the place of spectators. These and other popular dances will be referred to in a future chapter. Wrestling was a favourite exercise of the Japanese ''samurai'' from the earliest time. When first heard of historically, two decades before the commencement of the Christian era, it presents itself simply as the art of applying one's strength to the best advantage for the destruction of an enemy. There were no rules, no restrictions, no vetoes; only devices. Kicking, striking, gripping anywhere and anyhow; attacking the most vital parts of the body—all were permissible. A man sought only to kill his adversary, and if, after throwing him, he could break bones or ribs by stamping, or kicking, or pounding with the knees, success was complete.

Then, many a group, in earnest converse flocked, Upon whose lips I knew the burial-clay Lay deep, for I had heard its hollow sound, In hoarse reverberation, "''dust to dust!''" They put a fair, young infant in my arms, And that was of the dead. Yet still it seemed Like other infants. First with fear it shrank, And then in changeful gladness smiled, and spread Its little hands in sportive laughter forth. So I awoke, and then those gentle forms Of faithful friendship and maternal love Did flit away, and life, with all its cares, Stood forth in strong reality. Sweet dream! And solemn, let me bear thee in my soul Throughout the live-long day, to subjugate My earth-born hope. I bow me at your names, Sinless and passionless and pallid train! The seal of truth is on your breasts, ye dead! Ye may not swerve, nor from your vows recede, Nor of your faith make shipwreck.

It is characteristic of the methods of early Japanese sovereigns, that, although this man was an object of dread to all the courtiers, and although his daily deeds of violence made him a general terror, no way of getting rid of him presented itself except to seek some one who might overmatch him. The custom of that time was to summon the strongest men in the country to be the sovereign's guards. Tayema had been one of such a levy. A second summons subsequently brought a batch of recruits, among whom was Nomi no Sukune. He challenged Tayema. The encounter took place in the presence of the Emperor and the Court nobles, and Nomi threw Tayema and kicked him to death. It is thus evident that there were authorised displays of wrestling in those days, but nothing is known as to the science of the practice, and its ferocious nature cannot have recommended it to a nation which has never shown a love for sports so deadly as those formerly popular among the Romans and the Spaniards. Nomi no Sukune is said to have modified the art, reduced its methods to a recognised system, and deprived it of its deadly character. Such action would have been consistent with his traditional conduct in other matters, but the annals of Japan are doubtful evidence when they deal with incidents twenty centuries old.<noinclude>{{c|66}}</noinclude> ku0o2atvom01hhwfpmi7la7hm6nyi6w Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/269 104 4018655 12506424 2022-07-24T13:20:04Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 t proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|left=268}}</noinclude>{{nop}} {{c|{{larger|'''TO BEREAVED PARENTS.'''}}}} {{center block/s}} <poem> {{sc|Tender}} guides, in sorrow weeping, O'er your first-born's smitten bloom, Or fond memory's vigil keeping Where the fresh turf marks her tomb.

At the foot of the stairs he stopped. He felt suddenly old and weary and thought perhaps he had better not try to go back to the factory that afternoon. There was no need of his presence there. Everything was going all right. Natalie would attend to anything that came up. "A fine business if I, a respectable business man with a wife and a grown daughter get myself involved in an affair with Natalie Swartz, the daughter of a man who when he was alive ran a low saloon and of that terrible old Irish woman who is the scandal of the town and who when she is drunk talks and yells so that the neighbours threaten to have her arrested and are only held back because they have sympathy for the daughters. "The fact is that a man may work and work to make a decent place for himself and then by a foolish act all may be destroyed. I'll have to watch myself a little. I've been working too steadily. Perhaps I'd better take a vacation. I don't want to get into a mess," he thought. How glad he was that, although he had been in a state all day long, he had said nothing to any one that would betray his condition. He stood with his hand on the railing of the stairs. At any rate he had been doing a lot of thinking for the last two or three hours. "I haven't been wasting my time." A notion came. After-he married and when he had found out his wife was frightened and driven within herself by every outburst of passion and that as a result there was not much joy in making love to her he had formed a habit of going off on secret expeditions. It had been easy enough to get away. He told his wife he was going on a business trip. Then he went somewhere, to the city of Chicago usually. He did not go to one of the big hotels, but to some obscure place on a side street. Night came and he set out to find himself a woman. Always he went through the same kind of rather silly performance. He was not given to drinking, but he now took several drinks. One might go at once to some house where women were to be had, but he really wanted something else. He spent hours wandering in the streets. There was a dream. One vainly hoped to find, wandering about somewhere, a woman who by some miracle would love with freedom and abandon.

One wanted a golden woman to step up out of the filth of the place in which he walked. It was insane and silly and one knew these things, but one persisted insanely. Amazing conversations were imagined. Out from the shadow of one of the dark buildings the woman was to step. She was also lonely, hungry, defeated. One went boldly up to her and began at once a conversation filled with strange and beautiful words. Love came flooding their two bodies. Well perhaps that was exaggerated a little. No doubt one was never quite fool enough to expect anything so wonderful as all that. At any rate what one did was to wander about in the dark streets thus for hours and in the end take up with some prostitute. The two hurried silently off into a little room. Uh. There was always the feeling, "perhaps other men have been in here with her already to-night." There was a halting attempt at conversation. Could they get to know each other, this woman and this man? The woman had a businesslike air. The night was not over and her work was done at night. Too much time must not be wasted. From her point of view a great deal of time had to be wasted in any event. Often one walked half the night without making any money at all. After such an adventure John Webster came home the next day feeling very mean and unclean. Still he did work better at the office and at night for a long time he slept better. For one thing he kept his mind on affairs and did not give way to dreams and to vague thoughts. When one was running a factory that was an advantage. Now he stood at the foot of the stairs, thinking perhaps he had better go off on such an adventure again. If he stayed at home and sat all day and every day in the presence of Natalie Swartz there was no telling what would happen. One might as well face facts. After his experience of that morning, his looking into her eyes in just the way he had, the life of the two people in the office would be changed. A new thing would have come into the very air they breathed together. It would be better if he did not go back to the office, but went off at once and took a train to Chicago or Milwaukee. As for his wife—he had got that notion into his head of a kind of death of the flesh. He closed his eyes and leaned against the stair railing. His mind became a blank. A door leading into the dining-room of the house opened and a woman stepped forth.

Now she was past fifty and as she stood before John Webster he looked at her as he hadn't for a long time. A multitude of thoughts came quickly, like a handful of shot thrown against a window pane. The woman standing before him was tall and lean and her face was marked by deep lines. It was an odd thing, the notions men had got into their heads about the beauty of women. Perhaps Natalie Swartz, when she was fifty, would look much like this woman. Her name was Katherine and her coming to work for the Websters long ago had brought on a quarrel between John Webster and his wife. A young man of Indianapolis, who worked in a bank, had stolen a large sum of money and had run away with a woman who was a servant in his father's house. He had been killed in the wreck as he sat with the woman and all trace of him had been lost until someone from Indianapolis, quite by chance, saw and recognized Katherine on the streets of her adopted town. The question asked was, what had become of the stolen money, and Katherine had been accused of knowing and of concealing it. Mrs Webster had wanted to discharge her at once and there had been a quarrel in which the husband had in the end come out victorious. For some reason the whole strength of his being had been put into the matter and one night as he stood in the common bedroom with his wife he had made a pronouncement so strong that he himself was surprised by the words that came from his lips. "If this woman goes out of this house without going voluntarily then I go also," he had said. Now John Webster stood in the hallway of his house looking at the woman who had been the cause of the quarrel long ago. Well, he had seen her going silently about the house almost every day during the long years since that thing happened, but he had not looked at her as he did now. When she grew older Natalie Swartz might look as this woman now looked. If he were to be a fool and run away with Natalie, as that young fellow from Indianapolis had once run away with this woman, and if it tell out there was no railroad wreck he might some day be living with a woman who looked somewhat as Katherine now looked. The thought did not alarm him. It was on the whole rather a sweet thought. "She has lived and sinned and suffered," he thought. There was about the woman's person a kind of strong quiet dignity and it was reflected in her physical being.

Then I looked Upon the child, to see if her young thought Wearied with following mine. But her blue eye Was a glad listener, and the eager breath Of pleased attention curled her parted lip. And so I told her how the waters dried, And the green branches waved, and the sweet buds Came up in loveliness, and that meek dove Went forth to build her nest, while thousand birds Awoke their songs of praise, and the tired Ark Upon the breezy breast of Ararat Reposed, and Noah, with glad spirit, reared An altar to his God.

Mothers can tell how oft In the heart's eloquence, the prayer goes up From a sealed lip, and tenderly hath blent With the warm teaching of the sacred tale A voiceless wish, that when that timid soul, New in the rosy mesh of infancy, Fast bound, shall dare the billows of the world, Like that exploring Dove, and find no rest, A pierced, a pitying, a redeeming Hand May gently guide it to the Ark of peace. </poem> {{center block/e}}<noinclude></noinclude> pw9yl06jg7rd2eo1nchvvmnwbjfe7cg Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/396 104 4018669 12506440 2022-07-24T13:34:59Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Hilohello" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> ce4ma19r0rk8o5p4may6uw16k8w34ld Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/346 104 4018670 12506441 2022-07-24T13:35:04Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Hilohello" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> ce4ma19r0rk8o5p4may6uw16k8w34ld Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/446 104 4018671 12506442 2022-07-24T13:36:15Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|376|MANY MARRIAGES|}}</noinclude>kind of dignity coming into his own thoughts too. The notion of going off to Chicago or Milwaukee to walk through dirty streets hungering for the golden woman to come up to him out of the filth of life was quite gone now. He sat at the table eating the food Katherine had prepared. Outside the house the sun was shining. It was only a little after two o'clock and the afternoon and evening were before him. It was strange how the Bible, the older Testaments, kept asserting themselves in his mind. He had never been much of a Bible reader. There was perhaps a kind of massive splendour to the prose of the book that now fell into step with his own thoughts. In that time, when men lived on the hills and on the plains with their flocks, life lasted in the body of a man or woman a long time. Men were spoken of who had lived for several hundred years. Perhaps there was more than one way to reckon the length of life. In his own case—if he could live every day as fully as he had been living this day life would be for him lengthened indefinitely. Katherine came into the room bringing more food and a pot of tea and he looked up and smiled at her. Another thought came. "It would be an amazingly beautiful thing to have happen in the world if everyone, every living man, woman, and child, should suddenly, by a common impulse, come out of their houses, out of the factories and stores, come let us say into a great plain, where everyone could see everyone else, and if they should there and then, all of them, in the light of day, with everyone in the world knowing fully what everyone else in the world was doing, if they should all by one common impulse commit the most unforgivable sin of which they were conscious, what a great cleansing time that would be." His mind made a kind of riot of pictures and he ate the food Katherine had set before him without thought of the physical act of eating. Katherine started to go out of the room and then, noting that he was unaware of her presence, stopped by the door leading into the kitchen and stood looking at him. He had never known that she had been aware of the struggle he had gone through for her many years before. Had he not made that struggle she would not have stayed on in the house. As a matter of fact, on that evening when he had declared that if she were to be made to leave he would leave also, the door to the bedroom up stairs was a little ajar and she was in the hallway down stairs. She had packed her few belongings and had them in a bundle and had intended to steal away some-<noinclude></noinclude> 2sz3vs6yrnjkkcnd52sblcry29gxwwh Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/277 104 4018672 12506444 2022-07-24T13:36:37Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|left=276}}</noinclude>{{nop}} {{c|{{larger|'''SIR WALTER SCOTT.'''}}}} {{center block/s}} <poem> {{sc|Magician}} of old Scotia's clime, The sweet, the powerful, the sublime, Whose lyre could rule even wrinkled care, And stir the reverie of Despair, Who shall its broken strings repair?

There was no point to her staying. The man she loved was dead and now she was being hounded by the newspapers and there was a threat that if she did not tell where the money was hidden she would be sent to prison. As for the stolen money—she did not believe the man who had been killed knew any more about it than she did. No doubt there was money stolen and then, because he had run away with her, the crime was put upon him. The affair was very simple. The young man worked in that bank and was engaged to be married to a woman of his own class. And then one night he and Katherine were alone in his father’s house and something happened between them. As John Webster walked along the street the sun was shining and as there was a light breeze a few leaves were falling from the maple shade trees with which the streets were lined. Soon there would be frost and the trees would be all afire with colour. If one could only be aware glorious days were ahead. Now he was thinking of things he decided had better be left out of the thoughts of a business man. However, for this one day, he would give himself over to the thinking of any thought that came into his head. To-morrow perhaps things would be different. He would become again what he had always been (with the exception of a few slips, times when he had been rather as he was now) a quiet orderly man going about his business and not given to foolishness. He would run his washing machine business and try to keep his mind on that. In the evenings he would read the newspapers and keep abreast of the events of the day. "I don't go on a bat very often. I deserve a little vacation," he thought rather sadly. Ahead of him in the street, almost two blocks ahead, a man walked. John Webster had met the man once. He was some kind of a professor in a small college of the town, and once, two or three years before, there had been an effort made, on the part of the college president, to raise money among local business men to help the school through a financial crisis. A dinner was given and attended by a number of the college faculty and by an organization called the Chamber of Commerce to which John Webster belonged. The man who now walked before him had been at the dinner and he and the washing machine manufacturer had been seated together.<noinclude></noinclude> 92km7qd3skl9usyr2brpq9amxo0l1pv Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/278 104 4018674 12506448 2022-07-24T13:37:54Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|center=SIR WALTER SCOTT.|right=277}} {{center block/s}}</noinclude><poem> And flaming Ilion's horrors yield To pictured Flodden's fatal field.

He had been thinking rather unusual thoughts to come into a man's head and perhaps, if he could talk with some other man and in particular with a man whose business in life it was to have thoughts and to understand thought something might be gained. There was a narrow strip of grass between the sidewalk and the roadway and along this John Webster began to run. He just grabbed his hat in his hand and ran bareheaded for perhaps two hundred yards and then stopped and looked quietly up and down the street. It was all right, after all. Apparently no one had seen his strange performance. There were no people sitting on the porches of the houses along the street. He thanked God for that. Ahead of him the college professor went soberly along with a book under his arm, unaware that he was followed. When he saw that his absurd performance had escaped notice John Webster laughed. "Well, I went to college myself once. I've heard enough college professors talk. I don't know why I should expect anything from one of that stripe." Perhaps to speak of the things that had been in his mind that day something almost like a new language would be required. There was that thought about Natalie being a house kept clean and sweet for living, a house into which one might go gladly and joyfully. Could he, a washing machine manufacturer of a Wisconsin town, stop on the street a college professor and say—"I want to know, Mr College Professor, if your house is clean and sweet for living so that people may come into it and, if it is so, I want you to tell me how you went about it to clean your house." Weary tired moments had been coming to him all day long and now another came. He was like a train running through a mountainous country and occasionally passing through tunnels. In one moment the world about him was all alive and then it was just a dull dreary place that frightened one. The thought that came to him was something like this—"Well, here I am. There is no use denying it, something unusual has happened to me. Yesterday I was one thing. Now I am something else. About me everywhere are these people I have always known, here in this town. Down that street there before me, at the corner there, in that stone building, is the bank where I do the banking business for my factory. It happens<noinclude></noinclude> eno8dlhcs5092v28wv5lhbhlsh7v46q Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/449 104 4018676 12506450 2022-07-24T13:39:29Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh||SHERWOOD ANDERSON|379}}</noinclude>that just at this particular time I do not owe them any money, but a year from now I may be in debt to that institution up to my eyebrows. There have been times, in the years I have lived and worked as a manufacturer, when I was altogether in the power of the men who now sit at desks behind those stone walls. Why they didn't close me up and take my business away from me I don't know. Perhaps they did not think it worth while and then, perhaps, they felt, if they left me on there I would be working for them anyway. At any rate now, it doesn't seem to matter much what such an institution as a bank may decide to do. "One can't quite make out what other men think. Perhaps they do not think at all. "If I come right down to it I suppose I've never done much thinking myself. Perhaps the whole business of life, here in this town and everywhere else, is just a kind of accidental affair. Things happen. People are swept along, eh? That's the way it must be." It was incomprehensible to him and his mind soon grew weary of trying to think further along that road. It went back to the matter of people and houses. Perhaps one could speak of that matter to Natalie. There was something simple and clear about her. "She has been working for me for three years now and it is strange I've never thought much about her before. She has a way of keeping things clear and straight. Everything has gone better since she has been with me." It would be a thing to think about if all the time, since she had been with him, Natalie had understood the things that were just now becoming a little plain to him. Suppose, from the very beginning, she had been ready to have him go within herself. One could get quite romantic about the matter if one allowed oneself to think about it. There she would be, you see, that Natalie. She got out of bed in the morning and while she was there, in her own room, in the little frame house out at the edge of town, she said a little prayer of some kind. Then she walked along the streets and down along the railroad tracks to her work and to sit all day in the presence of a man. It was an interesting thought, just to suppose, as a kind of playful diversion let us say, that she, that Natalie, was pure and clean. In that case she wouldn't be thinking much of herself. She loved, that is to say she had opened the doors of herself.

Something constantly went out of her and into the man in whose presence she spent the day. He was unaware, was in fact too much absorbed in his affairs to be aware. Her own self also began to be absorbed with his affairs, to take the load of small and unimportant details of business off his mind in order that he in turn become aware of her, standing thus, with the doors of her body opened. How clean, sweet, and fragrant the house within which she lived. Before one went within such a house one would have to cleanse oneself too. That was clear. Natalie had done it with prayers and devotion, single-minded devotion to the interests of another. Could one cleanse one's own house that way? Could one be as much the man as Natalie was the woman? It was a test. As for the matter of houses—if one got thinking of his own body in that way where would it all end. One might go further and think of his own body as a town, a city, as the world. It was a road to madness too. One might think of people constantly passing in and out of each other. In all the world there would be no more secrecy. Something like a great wind would sweep through the world. "One had better go a little slow and not get himself out of hand," he told himself. He went and sat on a bench in a little park in the very centre of his town and began trying to think along another road. Across a little stretch of grass and a roadway before him there was a store with trays of fruit, oranges, apples, grapefruits, and pears arranged on the sidewalk and now a wagon stopped at the store door and began to unload other things. He looked long and hard at the wagon and at the store front. His mind slipped off at a new tangent. There he was, himself, John Webster, sitting on that bench in a park in the very heart of a town in the state of Wisconsin. It was fall and nearly time for frost to come, but there was still new life in the grass. How green the grass was in the little park! The trees were alive too. Soon now they would flame with colour and then sleep for a period. To all the world of living green things there would come the flame of evening and then the night of winter. Out before the world of animal life the fruits of the earth would be poured. Out of the ground they would come, off trees and bushes, out of the seas, lakes, and rivers, the things that were to maintain<noinclude></noinclude> tnwxfxosfmo87kir9f2dz3pgpo7bnys Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/280 104 4018679 12506453 2022-07-24T13:41:02Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|center=THE NINETIETH BIRTH-DAY.|right=279}} {{center block/s}}</noinclude><poem> Have faded from thy presence, one by one, And sunk, o'er wearied, to an earlier rest.

It was a thing to think about too. Everywhere, all about him must be men and women who lived altogether unaware of such things. To tell the truth he had himself been, all his life, unaware. He had just eaten food, stuffed it into his body through his mouth. There had been no joy. He had not really tasted things, smelled things. How filled with fragrant suggestive smells life might be. It must have come about that as men and women went out of the fields and hills to live their lives in cities, as factories grew and as the railroads and steamboats came to pass the fruits of the earth back and forth a kind of dreadful unawareness must have grown in people. Not touching things with their hands people lost the sense of them. That was it, perhaps. John Webster remembered that, when he was a boy, such matters were differently arranged. He lived in the town and knew nothing much of country life, but at that time town and country were more closely wed. In the fall, at just this time of the year, for one thing, farmers used to drive into town and deliver things at his father's house. At that time everyone had great cellars under their houses and in the cellars were bins that were to be filled with potatoes, apples, turnips, and such things. There was a thing man had learned to do. Straw was brought in from fields near the town and many things, pumpkins, squashes, heads of cabbage, and other solid vegetables were wrapped in straw and put into a cool part of the cellar. He remembered that his mother wrapped pears in bits of paper and kept them sweet and fresh for months. As for himself, although he did not live in the country he was, at that time, aware of something quite tremendous going on. Wagons arrived bringing things to his father's house. On Saturdays a farm woman, who drove an old grey horse, came to the front door and knocked. She was bringing the Websters their weekly supply of butter and eggs and often a chicken for the Sunday dinner. John Webster's mother went to the door to meet her and the child ran along, clinging to his mother's skirts. The farm woman came into the house and sat up stiffly in a chair in the parlour while her basket was being emptied and while the butter was being taken out of its stone jar. The boy stood with his back to the wall in a corner and studied her. Nothing was said.<noinclude></noinclude> hqjtyxqa714tqd2shwh3yoopfjksgwx Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/281 104 4018681 12506455 2022-07-24T13:43:14Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|left=280}}</noinclude>{{nop}} {{c|{{larger|'''ON THE DEATH OF DR.

Harcourt, Brace and Company. $4.}} {{di|A}} LONG felt want has been met at last, met at its timeliest, and with a completeness that is satisfying. "This book," Dr Schevill says at the outset, "plans not to formulate the Balkan problems theoretically, but to exhibit them in their historical development." There are three thousand years to consider in setting forth that development, during the last third of which, Balkania has been setting revolutionary pots on the fire, pots which presently boiled over and were found to be too heavy to be lifted off by any one, or any three countries. Tracing the course of empires through the stormy peninsula, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman, Dr Schevill has found himself obliged to deal with every great European struggle that has ever taken place. To begin fairly late, there were the Crusades, the strife Venice and Genoa hung on a holy pretext in the fifteenth century, the wars of Sultan Ahmed against Poland and Austria in the seventeenth, the resultant feud with Catherine of Russia in the eighteenth—Catherine who resented other than her own oppression of her "doormat to Europe." Then came the Napoleonic wars when Egypt was wrested from Balkan control, and, for climax, the World War which toppled over on Europe when a Serbian killed an Austrian archduke. The Balkans have been playing with matches all their lives, and yet doing it between spells of lethargy in which they have betrayed only a heavy-lidded indifference to their flaming consequences. They seem not so much warlike as provocative of war, and the explanation of them as world factors constitutes one of the most intricate problems of Dr Schevill's treatise. It is a scholarly work, brilliantly written. It gives plenty of space to the examination of causes, as well as to the pageantry of events themselves, and to a study of the involved mental make-up of the composites evolved by imperfect fusion with many conquerors. The Balkan states still "live side by side in disunion" as the emperor Maurice said of them more than a thousand years ago. Dr Schevill<noinclude></noinclude> 1abfqdupvrf8bcu5xmt0lclc806ac58 Page:Sacred Books of the Buddhists Vol 1.djvu/360 104 4018683 12506458 2022-07-24T13:43:50Z Balajijagadesh 316019 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Balajijagadesh" />{{rvh|324|XVII.

In this manner even the brilliancy of royalty does not obstruct the way of salvation to those, whose mind has been seized by emotion. Thus considering, one must make one's self familiar with the emotional state (sa''m''vega).

I heard it said by someone from al-Ḥîrah that Ukaidir and his brothers used to go to Dûmat al-Ḥîrah and visit their uncles of the Kalb tribe and spend some time with them. One day as they were together on a hunting trip, there arose before their view a city in ruins with only few walls standing. The city was built of stones [Ar. ''jandal''] . This city they rebuilt, planted in it olive- and other trees, and called it Dûmat al-Jandal in distinction from Dûmat al-Ḥîrah.<ref>Caetani, vol. ii, p. 263.</ref> ''{{ul|Az-Zuhri's version of the conquest}}.'' ʿAmr ibn-Muḥammad an-Nâḳid from az-Zuhri:—The Prophet sent Kḥâlid ibn-al-Walîd ibn-al-Mughîrah to the people of Dûmat al-Jandal who were some of the Christians of al-Kûfah.

The history of Greece is especially interesting to review at present, and here Dr Schevill has done a particularly fine piece of work. Since his book went to press, the Greeks have been adding another chapter to their national annals—but Dr Schevill predicted the chapter, and has explained carefully what claims to Thrace and the Smyrna salient each side can validly present. Back of this by a few years, and a few chapters, is the still more absorbing story of the Balkan beginning of the World War. The "balance of Europe" becomes a live phrase to an American reader. This is the first book to stress the murder of the heir to the Austrian throne by Serbian conspiracy as a strongly determining cause of war. The road leading up to the assassination and on from it has been cleared to show distinctly the consequences of that momentous crime. Again a Balkan-brewed pot boiling over has scalded all Europe, not to mention reducing the Balkans themselves to an irritated remnant of their old, disunited, spasmodic strength. In his interpretation of modern events Dr Schevill is likely to provoke discussion. He finds it impossible to remain above the clouds. He is frankly pessimistic over the basis of the Paris treaties and the results likely to accrue to the Balkans therefrom. It is, perhaps, with this in mind that he ends with the divided view that man is unlikely to "summon the wisdom necessary to restrain his passions," but that there is some hope, even for the Balkans, in concerted idealism, some prospect of justice through a—not ''the''—league of nations. But there can be no successful summary of this book. Without the author's lightness of touch, his human handling of epic events, his flexible vocabulary, and the humorous relief of his satire and his most enlightening figures of speech, the five hundred and fifty-nine pages would be of too great and complicated content for any but the professional historian who had already gleaned half its facts from a dozen books. As it is, this history will undoubtedly be read. It will add to the prestige Dr Schevill has already attained by his Political History of Modern Europe. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:Helen Ives Gilchrist|Helen Ives Gilchrist]]}}}}<noinclude></noinclude> 6hprpl9o6a8hu6xw9ry2aygxfqrqeip Page:Sacred Books of the Buddhists Vol 1.djvu/361 104 4018687 12506462 2022-07-24T13:46:06Z Balajijagadesh 316019 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Balajijagadesh" />{{rvh|325|XXXIII.

Nevertheless, though in that animal-state, in which there prevails complete ignorance and it is difficult to come to the conception of righteousness, he in consequence of his keen understanding, was exerting himself to practise righteousness. 1. Compassion, as if it had a deep-rooted affection for him in return for his long service, never left him. But some power too, either of his karma or his nature, must be taken into account to explain the fact that he was so. 2. And it is for this reason, in truth, that the Lord<ref>In his Buddha-existence, of course.</ref> declared the mystery of the result of karma to be inscrutable, since He, though compassion was at the bottom of his nature, obtained the state of a beast, yet even in this condition retained his knowledge of righteousness. 3. Without karma the series of existences cannot be; it is also an impossibility that good actions should have evil as their result. But it must be the influence of small portions of (evil) karma that caused him now and then, notwithstanding his knowledge of righteousness, to be in such (low) states.<ref>This apology is not superfluous, indeed.

In The Things We Are Mr Murry seems to have undergone an idyllic reaction against his own previous effort, and in expiation steers a mysteriously awakened Mr Boston into a wife, and the company of wholesome, big-bosomed Mrs Williams. And to our astonishment and shamefaced confusion, just when the lovers have been united, this very Mrs Williams comes into the room and places a steaming pudding on the table. Which makes one feel that if we are to preserve Mr Murry as a Platonist we must maintain the balance between dualities by throwing one of his novels on each side of the scale, and letting the bitterness of the one counterbalance the sweetness of the other. As a portrait of English society, I am willing to take Mr Murry as gospel. The sterile self-analyses in Still Life, the futile conversations, the almost vulgar self-consciousness: it has always been my fond belief that contemporary drawing-room England is precisely that. Yet, building upon this fundament, Mr Murry has contrived to wind up a story with a positively astonishing skill. For the first seven or eight chapters we follow him as he takes on one responsibility after another; but unfortunately, once Mr Murry has finished winding up his story, there is nothing to do but let it run down. Before the story is finished every last one of the characters has told us far too much about himself; and for the last hundred pages they are nothing but voices. Still, these statements are unfair; as they make no allowance for the really keen strokes which Mr Murry keeps turning up continually, and for the discretion and freshness with which the old triangle theme is handled. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 78jwmrkjs7fto7fk7dpg6ij8wlcgjik Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/284 104 4018691 12506469 2022-07-24T13:47:24Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|center=INTEMPERANCE.|right=283}} {{center block/s}}</noinclude><poem> Country! on thy sons depending, Strong in manhood, bright in bloom: Hast thou seen thy pride descending, Shrouded to the unhonoured tomb?

Mr Boston, far from deluging us with self-analyses, is an unusually rigid and silenced man, a man in whom all impressions lie buried and unuttered. Then suddenly, about half-way through the book, Mr Boston begins to unbend; he acquires a virulent attack of normality, goes out among good wholesome people, picks up a couple of buns, falls in love with a girl, and analyses himself as expertly as though he had been at it all his life, or as though he had been carried over bodily from Mr Murry's earlier novel. Thus, there are simply two Mr Bostons: one is made to feel the potentialities of this first Boston, and to see the second Boston kinetically, but one does not feel that the potential energy of the first Boston is the kinetic energy of the second. The accepted methods of effecting a character's rejuvenation are (a) to have him meet a Salvation Army lass, or (b) to have him awakened by the war. Mr Murry's invention of simply having the character rejuvenated is more cautious, perhaps, but no more contenting. On taking up these books of Mr Murry's one automatically returns to the question of Dostoevsky. Mr Murry, to be sure, has done a remarkably thorough job at making the Russian less uncouth and reducing his frenzy to the proportions proper to an English drawing-room; but the principle underlying both authors is the same. It calls, I think, for a distinction between the psychology of form and the psychology of subject-matter. Or between the psychologism of Dostoevsky and the psychologism of, say, a Greek vase. By the psychology of subject-matter I mean, I believe, what Mrs Padraic Colum has defined as information, or science. She might as well have called it journalism. Journalism, science, biographical gossip {{...}} this movement of almost pure information has had a tremendous effect on modern aesthetics. Thanks to it, far too much emphasis is laid upon the documentary value of the work of art, upon art as a revelational function. We find both Mr Matthew Josephson and Mr Burton Rascoe, for instance, objecting to Joyce because there are more psychoanalytic facts to be obtained from the reading of Kraft-Ebbing or Freud than from Ulysses. And I trust soon to hear these Messrs objecting to Cézanne because his paintings do not contain nearly so much data on trees as can be found in a bulletin of the Forestry Department. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> eqxvgmxkqsw4ly15s5p7yku97ilmun0 Page:Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf/285 104 4018693 12506471 2022-07-24T13:49:24Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|left=284}}</noinclude>{{nop}} {{c|{{larger|'''THOUGHTS AT THE FUNERAL OF A RESPECTED FRIEND.'''}}}} {{center block/s}} <poem> {{sc|That}} solemn knell, whose mournful call Strikes on the heart, I heard.

The document ''per se,'' being neither beautiful nor unbeautiful, falls into quite another plane of considerations from purely aesthetic ones. And if Dostoevsky must stand for his revelations of the human soul, then he stands as nothing other than a scientist who was improperly trained in scientific methods of presentation, and who gave us consequently a hodgepodge rather than a schematization. One might have thought that the peculiarly vigorous flourishing of science would have served rather to purge literature of any documentary obligations, just as the perfection of photography has brought about a similar release in painting. But instead, literature was swept into a sympathetic movement, and science became a burden rather than an instrument of liberation. Perhaps, to define unescapably just how I should distinguish between the psychology of form and the psychology of subject-matter, I should pin myself to a specific illustration. We read, then, in The Things We Are: "{{...}} Bettington felt sad.

A rascal is never more eager to insult and never displays greater insolence than towards people meek and merciful. Against those he performs his worst tricks, for he sees no danger from their side. But with respect to those from whence a suspicion of danger, however slight, strikes him, he will behave, oh! so modestly, like an honest man; his petulance is quieted there. Sometimes, then, while the Great Being was calmly asleep or nodding from drowsiness, that monkey would of a sudden leap upon his back. Another time, having climbed on (his head), as if he were a tree, he swung repeatedly (between his horns). Sometimes again, when he was hungry, he would stand before his feet, obstructing his grazing. It happened also now and then that he rubbed his ears with a log. When he was longing to bathe, he would sometimes climb on his head and cover his eyes with his hands. Or having mounted on his back, he would ride him perforce, and holding a stick in his hand counterfeit Yama<ref>The common representation of Yama is sitting on the back of a buffalo with a staff in his hand.

But it would have been the intensity, and not the fact, which was beautiful. The accurate definition of an idea is beautiful—as in Spinoza. The accurate solution of a problem is beautiful-—which doubtless explains why Euclid was included among the humanities. And which obviously suggests defining beauty as the shortest distance between two points. But there is also the functional side to beauty, and fortunately Mr Murry has given a very fine instance of it, which I quote from Still Life to illustrate the psychology of form: "Above them Anne began to sing, low enough to be singing to herself. She could hear that they were not talking, and she crooned. But the house was so still, beneath the regular beat of the rain between the gusts, that they could hear her when her voice rose above a low humming. Neither knew what she was singing. {{" '}}Does Anne often sing like that?' said Dennis, almost whispering. {{" '}}How do you mean, "like that"?' Maurice [Anne's lover] hardly understood the question. Then something familiar in the sound came vaguely into his memory. 'I don't know. Yes, she does sometimes. But not often{{...|4}} At least, I don't think so{{...|4}} I don't know.{{' "}} It is, quite plainly, the functional value which counts here. Mr Murry has given us a mechanism of beauty. A programme is officially announced; a blare of trumpets has been sounded. Similarly in Macbeth when the porter scene follows the murder scene this is no documentary ''coup,'' but a purely functional one. Writing in the Dostoevsky tradition, however, one underrates this really primary quality of art, and—in Mr Murry's case, at least—attains it too seldom. The making of this lengthy distinction, I feel, is justified in that it attempts to get at the exact quality of diffuseness which makes Mr Murry's books a bit dissatisfying. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:Kenneth Burke|Kenneth Burke]]}}}}<noinclude></noinclude> 2fp1ptlo1poiuujb0gd604w347c552t Page:Famous stories from foreign countries.djvu/157 104 4018706 12506486 2022-07-24T13:52:22Z Jan.Kamenicek 17858 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Jan.Kamenicek" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> kk6en08g9qtcj6hkmo88znb7yilcfaw Page:Sacred Books of the Buddhists Vol 1.djvu/363 104 4018707 12506487 2022-07-24T13:52:30Z Balajijagadesh 316019 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "that wicked monkey by purchase or by loss at play, or dost thou suspect any danger from his part, or dost thou not know thine own strength, that thou sufferest thyself to be so abused by him as to become his riding animal?

The farm woman's hands were brown and the knuckles were like the bark-covered knobs that sometimes grew on the trunks of trees. They were hands to take hold of things, to take hold of things firmly. After the men from the country had come and had put the things in the bins in the cellar it was fine to go down there in the afternoon when one had come home from school. Outside the leaves were all coming off the trees and everything looked bare. One felt a little sad and almost frightened at times and the visits to the cellar were reassuring. The rich smell of things, fragrant and strong smells! One got an apple out of one of the bins and stood eating it. In a far corner there were the dark bins where the pumpkins and squashes were buried in straw and everywhere, along the walls, were the glass jars of fruit his mother had put up. How many of them, what a plentitude of everything. One could eat and eat and still there would be plenty. At night sometimes, when one had gone up stairs and got into bed, one thought of the cellar and of the farm woman and the farm men who had brought the things. Outside the house it was dark and a wind was blowing. Soon there would be winter and snow and skating. The farm woman with the strange, strong-looking hands had driven the grey horse along the street on which the Webster house stood, and around a corner. One had stood at a window down stairs and had watched her out of sight. She had gone off into some mysterious place, spoken of as the country. How big was the country and how far away was it? Had she got there yet? It was night now and very dark. The wind was blowing. Was she still driving the grey horse on and on, the reins held in her strong brown hands? The boy had got into bed and had pulled the covers up about him. His mother came into the room and after kissing him went away taking his lamp. He was safe in the house. Near him, in another room, his father and mother slept. Only the country woman, with the strong hands, was now out there alone in the night. She was driving the grey horse on and on into the darkness, into the strange place from which came all of the good, rich-smelling things, now tucked away in the cellar under the house. {{c|''To be continued''}}<noinclude></noinclude> mfdy7is0mmwdym7m0ufkiiuryq2nh5r Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/453 104 4018713 12506493 2022-07-24T13:54:14Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Hilohello" /></noinclude>{{image missing}} {{c|{{sm|A DRAWING.

Nor can I hope to play even the inferior part of an Atticus to your Marcus Tullius; all my ambition is that contact with your virtues may insensibly incline me to follow the same path so far as my imperfections allow. You must therefore not pretermit, as you threaten, but rather increase, as I implore, your letters to me; believe me, they are essential to my happiness. That you are to be proconsul of Achaea must not be a reason for depriving your old friend of a necessary pleasure; unless indeed this dignity should lead you to despise so inglorious and so obscure a man. But even in jest such a thought wrongs us both. Shall I congratulate or condole with you on your heavy honour? You will have a year's residence in that Hellas whose culture you so greatly delight in and so perfectly understand. I shall imagine you at Corinth; either walking in silent meditation along the ilex walks of your villa, pausing before some marble, the tutelary deity of the place, leaning in thought above some wide fountain untroubled as that great stone pool in the gardens of Sallust; or speaking of wisdom and beauty with poets and learned men. For I cannot think that even the proconsulship will cause you to forget the greater good. What memories will greet you at Corinth! not only of that Hellenic perfection the world will never see again, but of our lamented countryman Gallio, whose urbanity and fastidious good taste astonished even the cultivated Hellenes. By one of those coincidences old superstition pretended significant, your letter reached me while I was reading the letter On Anger addressed to Gallio by his illustrious brother, Lucius Annaeus. May you share their virtues and fame, but not their fate! You ask me again whether I am not weary of solitude and you bid me ask myself: Would it be well for the world if all men acted as I?

With what purpose, then, should the lover of virtues make use of his strength in such cases so as to lose his firmness of mind ? 14. 'Besides, the opportunity for forbearance, that virtue always of use, being difficult to obtain inasmuch as it depends on others, what reason could there be to resort to anger just then, when that opportunity has been afforded by another ? 15. ‘And if I did not use forbearance against him who disregarding the damage of his own righteousness (dharma), acts as if to cleanse my sins, say who else should be ungrateful, if not I?'

'It is not suitable for him who longs for happiness to pursue comfort or prevention of discomfort by inflicting grief on another. The result of such actions will not tend to the production of happiness. 18. 'My persistence in patient endurance is, in fact, an admonition to awake his conscience. If he does not understand it, he will afterwards assail others of a hasty temper who will stop him in his pursuit of the wrong way. 19.

As if in this complexity of life we could govern ourselves by such foolishly over-simple and rigid rules! As if the great variety of the world did not call for as great a variety of men! Must the emperor conduct himself as the freedman, the senator as the slave, the matron as the courtesan? Shall the fisherman ask himself: Did all men fish would it be well for the world? Shall the philosopher leave to speculate because if all men imitated him human life would cease? This question of yours cannot but be some foolish trope brought to Rome by a glib uneducated Pict. The Empire needs men of many kinds; some to give it wealth; some military strength; some justice; some dignity; some wisdom; some tranquillity and sweetness. It may be necessary for the Empire at times to make use of the wickedness of evil men whose company we ourselves would avoid; and indeed were Rome filled with none but good men the ''imperium romanum'' would vanish in a decade. No, let us not ask ourselves so foolish and useless a question; let us rather seek to discover the true nature of our own minds and fit them to that manner of life which is most harmonious; for if we try to serve the Empire in a manner for which we are conspicuously unfit we may bring contempt upon the majesty of Rome, whereas if we do those things consonant with our nature we may serve it even though we appear to do nothing. We cannot all be proconsuls; we cannot all be excellent. I am sure innocence cannot harm the Empire; I even think vice may serve it; when I am convinced my manner of life injures the Empire—dearer to me than life—I shall change it. You tell me that the venality and incapacity of administrators make it urgent for every honest man to seek the utmost power he can obtain in order that justice may be done; and you regret the purer morals of the Republic. I cannot think you are right; a vast number of men is continually pressing to obtain these posts and surely none who was unfit either morally or intellectually would offer to take upon himself such a responsibility? You know I did not refuse to serve the Empire, even in a post for which I was grotesquely incapable, when it was forced upon me; I should not refuse if I were commanded to a dignity so imposing even as that of proconsul of Achaea, but I should lament it as a difficult and burdensome duty that had perforce to be undertaken, not as an honour to be enjoyed.

As to my solitude it is less absolute than you imagine. I have not only the company of many excellent and charming men always near me in their writings (which my agents procure for me from Athens and Rome) but I have close at hand an agreeable companion to my studies who is also a man of urbane conversation and philosophic morals. He is a teacher of rhetoric, the son of a Greek woman and a certain ''legatus legionis'' whose name I shall conceal; his mother, an inhabitant of a small township in Attica, bestowed on him the austere name of Diogenes. Whether she hoped to make her son honest by giving him the name of one who so vehemently claimed honesty as his peculiar virtue; or whether she attempted thus to excuse herself by insinuating the paternity of Jove; I am unable to tell you. But few men could less resemble the great cynic than this Diogenes. He is a large, not unhandsome man, with long, carefully trimmed beard and hair; his address is smiling and frank; his air quiet and self-contained; his learning not inconsiderable; his speech eloquent; his manner attractive and winning; as unlike that of the usual ''rhetor'' as it is dissimilar from that of his growling namesake. He was condemned by poverty to the misery of a wandering life, displaying to the gaping provincials his ware of Milesian tales and philosophical discourses, more glittering and sharp than sound and wise. He asked my hospitality one spring evening when he had missed his way; we had some conversation which so pleased me I begged him to stay several days. The days became months and finally I gave him a house and small estate, vacated by one of my freedmen, about three thousand yards from here. He visits me frequently, advises me in the pursuit of my studies, debates points of philosophy or literary subtlety with great ability and learning, assists and stimulates my appreciation of what is beautiful and excellent. His gratitude has caused him to take the cognomen of Tranquillanus, but indeed I look upon him as a friend, not as a client.

His friendship seems to me the more serious and tenacious because he is a convinced though not fanatical Epicurean—if a quality so opposed to Epicureanism can ever afflict any member of that enlightened sect. No doubt you will exclaim against me, both for admitting to my familiarity a man who is a kind of cultivated vagabond, perhaps an escaped slave, and for allowing him to bring the morals of Epicurus into my house. Believe me, dear Rufinus, not even Cicero has been just to Epicurus; and the Stoics have maligned him bitterly. When I had read the works of Epicurus, Philodemus, and other exponents of the doctrine, comparing them with the poem of our own nobly inspired Lucretius, I was delighted with the purity and wisdom of their philosophy. It secures my assent the more readily because practice of its teaching actually creates the spiritual effect promised; because it does not seek to persuade by rewards or to terrify by punishments; because it appears to be in harmony with reason and nature. You know my fancy that philosophical sects are mere classifications of temperaments. In my opinion the various philosophies are not to be looked upon as mutually destructive enemies, but as convenient methods of living for many sorts of men; thus the sensual man becomes a Cyrenaic, the proud man a Stoic, the morose man a Cynic, the sceptic a disciple of Pyrrho. My nature is most suited by the philosophy of Epicurus, though I add to its gentleness and tolerance and temperance, to its "indolence of body and tranquillity of mind," something more robust in physical health, more ardently Platonic in the love of beauty, less supercilious in my relations with other men. Of course it is the morals of Epicurus I chiefly study; the physics, even of Aristotle, I read rather because I am curious than because I perceive any final truth in them, while I have a natural aversion from metaphysics which I find hard to overcome. The purpose of my inexpert philosophy is simply to pass through this too brief life as agreeably, honourably, and harmlessly as possible. I am not anxious that Rome should eke out its scanty intellectual fare with chatter about me; and I am not ambitious that a fraction of an indifferent posterity should know that such a man once existed. You will exclaim against this contempt for glory; it is sincere though perhaps ignoble and certainly un-Roman.

Dr Van Doren has taken us through the subjects of all the contemporary novels and impressed us with their importance, pointing out the higher significance of Alice Adams in comparison with Mr Tarkington's earlier work and giving us to feel that there are countless subjects about which the American novelist can write. Professor Sherman is, we think, a spiritual collaborator of Professor Babbitt and we do not think of him as he is thought of in the outside world. He discusses philosophy for us and we understand his dualism; he finds philosophy in everyone, nearly, and exposes it brilliantly. We are inclined to believe with him that most of the philosophy is bad. Dr Canby is something of a dualist, too; at least he believes in discipline, both in life and art, and like Professor Sherman he prefers the books in which the undisciplined are not made heroic. If I have left out any of our major critics it is due to our own obscurity, with one exception: Dr [[Author:Paul Elmer More|Paul Elmer More]]. I have left him out because he illustrates my point. The Shelburne Essays complete none of us have read, but we found from time to time that he stood with Babbitt and Sherman, and his great departure was not in his thinking, but in his form of expression. He is now writing philosophy, or the criticism of philosophy, as we think of such things. He is expressing his ideas in the form which, it seems to us, they fit best, and his example has made things clear to us. We suddenly realize that all the rest of them are critics not of literature, but of economics, sociology, psychoanalysis, morality—and so on. And we wonder whether Aristotle, who had a point of view and was certainly a moralist, is still considered a great critic, or do readers nowadays feel that his work is fairly thin since it tells us nothing of the economic life of Periclean Athens and seems to erect into laws his perceptions of aesthetic fact without telling us anything at all about his philosophy. Perhaps we are unnecessarily confused. We are sure that somewhere, on occasions, must appear a technical criticism of a book of poetry or of a novel, but it is not exactly technical criticism we want. It is, I suppose, aesthetic criticism. We read Clive Bell and Roger Fry and find that they do not bother to tell us the story of the picture they describe—perhaps because pictures no longer have stories, but we do not mind.

But when it comes to anything printed it seems that everything is relevant except the art of the thing itself. We heard the other day, and were not surprised to hear, that Joyce isn't so important because he isn't nearly so good a psychoanalyst as Freud. Ulysses we shall probably never see in these parts, but our local librarian is making quite a search for Freud's novels, so that we can have the best. Or are we confused? Professor Sherman has helped us a great deal in this confusion by presenting in that book of his which has lately been reissued, a literary criticism which is almost exactly what we have been looking for—the essay on Henry James. Is there a better one? And on comparing it with the others in the book, which are almost as exactly what we are not looking for, we find the reason. In the one on Wells, for example, we find "The difference widens as soon as one considers the uses to which Wells and Arnold propose to put the enlarged powers of the state." It is a criticism of Wells' Utopia. Or again it is the vulgar barbarism of Dreiser, much more than his naturalistic method. Or George Moore's animalism. And when he arrives at James Mr Sherman, still looking for the ruling passion in an idea, hits upon exactly the right idea, that James "adored beauty and absolutely nothing else in the world" and he proceeds from that to show how this exclusive consecration to beauty made James' work, the style and the structure and everything, what it was. That is to say that in James there is no absorption in politics and economics; there is an idealism sympathetic to Mr Sherman, and this happy accident makes his essay a work of aesthetic criticism. To make it clearer, compare the usual run of essays about James, dealing with the fact that he wrote up the international situation. Don't those who write about him bother to read what he himself said on the subject? For many of us the use of literature as a means to an economic end has become tiresome. We do want to know the relevance of a book to life, of course; but we want our critics to tell us just how well the "criticism of life" is managed in a novel, for instance, and then to go on and make our enjoyment greater by referring us to the artistic harmonies which the novel may possess, to let us share a little the rapture of the creator. We would like our critics to thin out a little, if necessary.

If our modern novelists are creating beautiful things, let our critics define for us their beauty or at least make it possible for us to see it, instead of trying to make us believe that the chief interest in a man like Lawrence is in his "sexology"—a word we do not use here. We are, as foreigners have observed, eager for culture, but we are a little afraid that our critics are giving us something else. Mr Eliot says that the important critic is absorbed in the present problems of art and wishes to bring the forces of the past to bear upon the solution of these problems.

The two essays on Liberalism ''versus'' Culture and The Irony of Liberalism ought to be digested by all those who still fancy that this creed is of use in the modern world. "If liberalism had been a primitive system, with no positive institutions behind it, it would have left human genius in the most depressed and forlorn condition. The organized part of life would have been a choice among little servitudes, and the free personal part would have been a blank. Fortunately, liberal ages have been secondary ages, inheriting the movements, the feelings, and the social hierarchy of previous times, when men had lived in compulsory unison, having only one unquestioned religion, one style of art, one political order, one common spring of laughter and tears." There is more truth in this than most apostles of liberalism are willing to concede. Since the Renaissance, Europe has been like a clock running down; its positive institutions have come to it from the Middle Ages, and the changes effected have all been negative. To this process there must come an end; if the clock is not to stop, it must be wound up again sooner or later. The essay on The Irony of Liberalism shows, by an almost Hegelian dialectic, how freedom breeds opposite propagandas, each stimulating "hatred and wilfulness," and generating a strict tyranny by which the beneficent intentions of liberalism are defeated. The war, even, affords Mr Santayana a certain grim satisfaction as a refutation of the glib hopes of liberals. Addressing the liberal intellectuals on armistice day, he says: "Ah, my delicate friends, if the soul of a philosopher may venture to address you, let me whisper this counsel in your ears: Reserve a part of your wrath; you have not seen the worst yet. You suppose that this war has been a criminal blunder and an exceptional horror; you imagine that before long reason will prevail, and all these inferior people that govern the world will be swept aside, and your own party will reform everything and remain always in office. You are mistaken. This war has given you your first glimpse of the ancient, fundamental, normal state of the world, your first taste of reality. It should teach you to dismiss all your philosophies of progress or of a governing reason as the babble of dreamers who walk through one world mentally beholding another." {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 2gey7builsx5xo6o1l7fqak97eqbq1y Page:Sacred Books of the Buddhists Vol 1.djvu/353 104 4018733 12506528 2022-07-24T14:10:58Z Balajijagadesh 316019 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Balajijagadesh" />{{rvh|317|XXXII.

He was petted with plenty of objects of celestial brilliancy standing at his disposal, and his father, who loved him much and bore him high esteem, was no more anxious about him, trusting he would be safe. Now once on the occasion of the Kaumudi-festival recurring in course of time, it happened that the Bodhisattva was desirous of contemplating the lovely beauty and the display of brilliancy in his capital. Having obtained the permission of his father, he mounted the royal chariot to take a drive. This chariot was embellished with fair ornaments of gold, jewels, and silver; gay flags and banners of various colours were floating aloft on it; its horses well-trained and swift, were adorned with golden trappings; it was driven by a charioteer distinguished for his dexterity, skill, comeliness, honesty, modesty, and firmness, and followed by a retinue adorned with a picturesque and brilliant attire and armour. Preceded by the delightful tones of musical instruments, the prince with his train passed through the capital in many directions, and let his eyes roam over the spectacle of the streets crowded with townsmen and landsmen in their lovely festival array, who with looks agitated by curiosity, were wholly intent on seeing him, and all along his way received him with praise and worship, folded hands and bent heads, and pronounced blessings over him. Nevertheless, though the contemplation of this beautiful spectacle was a proper occasion for conceiving a great rejoicing within his mind, he regained by it the remembrance of his former births. So familiar to his nature was the feeling of sa''m''vega. 7. ‘Alas' (he thought), 'piteous is the state of the world and displeasing because of its unsteadiness.

In the world in which we find ourselves, the only reliable joys are those derived from hatred, since it is more likely that our enemies will suffer than that our friends will be happy. Therefore the true philosopher, if he cannot banish the passions altogether, will select hatred as the most comfortable. There is one surprising passage, however, which suggests that Mr Santayana has not quite realized the effects of social cataclysms. It occurs at the beginning of his essays on Dickens: "If Christianity should lose everything that is now in the melting-pot, human life would still remain amiable and quite adequately human. I draw this comforting assurance from the pages of Dickens. Who could not be happy in his world? Yet there is nothing essential to it which the most destructive revolution would be able to destroy." Any one who will imagine Pickwick and his friends transported to modern Russia can see the falsehood of this optimistic belief. There are no comfortable inns, no fires blazing on the hearth, no plentiful suppers and no punch-bowls; there is no freedom to travel about the country, no leisure for enjoyment. The only character in Pickwick who could be happy in modern Russia is Mr Alfred Jingle, who would be in the Food Commissariat. One is compelled to conclude that Mr Santayana does not quite realize how profound is the effect of a really serious revolution. The greater part of the Soliloquies has no direct bearing upon modern social questions. A great deal is concerned with the English character—always kindly, too kindly perhaps. The English character which Mr Santayana likes and chiefly considers is that of the "gentleman" who is mildly conservative and not too much in earnest. Intellectual England, Puritan England, the England of the various tribes of cranks and faddists, is recognized as existing, but regarded as a regrettable aberration. Mr Santayana's view of the world is a product of peculiar circumstances: Spanish temperament and American experience. What Spain has stood for in the world seems to him in the main good; what America and progressive England have stood for he dislikes. This outlook has in him a<noinclude></noinclude> 9nuqzh2q1f7b8dna8bvp1ua9jsnnyfv Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/662 104 4018735 12506531 2022-07-24T14:12:19Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|562|THE AROMA OF EVANESCENCE|}}</noinclude>peculiar value, because it is combined with an intimate knowledge of things that a Spaniard in Spain would not know. The standard of values prevalent throughout the modern world, but worst of all in America, is challenged from two sides: by the revolutionaries, who wish to introduce a new constructive era by means of a new discipline, and by the mediaevalists, who wish to revive the discipline of the Catholic Church. It is singular how much these two parties have in common. Much of Mr Santayana's indictment of liberalism might have been written by a Russian Bolshevik—perhaps because in Russia the influence of the church is still as strong as in Spain, even over those who reject its dogmas and rebel against its political domination. It is superfluous to praise the style of Mr Santayana, which must delight every lover of good English; or the genuinely philosophic outlook of the soliloquies, which will be familiar to all his admirers. Most English-speaking readers, even when they admire most, will feel something which they cannot share in this outlook—something which is probably attributable to the difference between a Protestant and a Catholic civilization, for even Catholics in England and America are always Protestant in their mentality. This is a barrier to sympathy rather than to understanding; but it enhances the value of the book, by making it more distinctive and challenging. Indeed, few people were better employed during the years 1914-1918 than Mr Santayana, who built this memorial of the beauties that were perishing while he wrote. {{right|{{sc|[[Author:Bertrand Russell|Bertrand Russel]]}}}}<noinclude></noinclude> 1a16c5ywq9b7kof6uvf36s2mmj3ey4t Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/663 104 4018736 12506532 2022-07-24T14:14:16Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" /></noinclude>{{c|{{larger|TWO AMERICAN POETS}}}} {{block center|max-width=35em|{{sc|Priapus and the Pool.}} ''By [[Author:Conrad Aiken|Conrad Aiken]]. 8vo. 59 pages.

Remember how it was born; or rather, since this passive mood suits badly, how it bore itself back in 1914, the first of war babies. Before the Lusitania affair, if you remember, American poetry was built hastily like a skyscraper. Crowds gathered to comment on the thoroughly modern installation: open plumbing, critics running hot and cold like water, printing presses, magazines, two complete anthologists, even poets. Above the entrance arch was lettered in commercially-pure gold: THE AMERICAN RENAISSANCE. Today this lettering remains, slightly tarnished. Anthologies still appear, each in its season, and critics function still, but those old and grand days of American poetry are over. At least their contagious excitement has subsided. The poets of those days continue to write and usually write well, but they are making only literature now; they make history no longer. That perhaps 1s the reason no younger writers join their group (or has talent ceased utterly to develop?) Masters dies slowly after the childbirth of Spoon River. Robinson embalms himself in a collected edition. No one appears to close the gaping ranks. There are no new American poets. For the adjective American belongs to a definite poetic generation. One rarely applies it to Poe, nor is Estlin Cummings, as a poet, American. An American poet is one whose first book, or whose first successful book, coincided roughly with the first year of the war. An American poet is Frost, Masters, Lindsay, Fletcher, Amy Lowell; by extension the term has even been applied to Walt Whitman. The adjective American is less national than temporal; a certain generation wear it like a rosette in the buttonhole; their work was brave enough to deserve a more definite decoration. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 66ar3la0z0f1lg8acdmsztxzle10srs Page:Sacred Books of the Buddhists Vol 1.djvu/354 104 4018737 12506536 2022-07-24T14:15:53Z Balajijagadesh 316019 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Balajijagadesh" />{{rvh|318|XVII.

We must not, therefore, expect "personal" poetry in the modern sense from the clan. But neither must we suppose that the clan age knows no personal poetry of its own, or that such poetry is less real than ours because it is conceived from a totally different standpoint. Sentiments and emotions are not, indeed, conceived as the peculiar property of the individual; they are projected outwards like visible threads uniting the clansmen in a common objective existence. But they possess on this very account a peculiar vividness which the poetry of individual reflection fails to reach. There is an intensity in clan affections, in clan hatreds, which, compared with the passions of individualised life, stands out like the figures in relief on the Arc de Triomphe contrasted with the flat surface of a painting; {{center block|{{smaller block|{{em|7}}"Sibb aefre ne maeg<br /> Wiht onwendan þám þe wel þenceð."<ref>{{fqm|"}}Naught can alter ties of kinship<br /> In the man who thinks aright." {{right|(''Beowulf,'' 2600–1.)}}</ref>}}}} It is only by remembering this objectiveness of early personality and the social conditions it denotes that we shall solve an apparent paradox in the development of civilisation and literature.

Nevertheless, after two additional days, all six leaves recovered. The immersion of three leaves for 24 hi-s., each in thirty minims of a solution of one part to 875 of water, produced no apparent effect. They were then treated with the same solution of carbonate of ammonia, with the same result as in the case of the nitrate of potash. ''Potassium, Phosphate of''. - Half-minims of a solution of one part to 437 of water were placed on the discs of six leaves, which were observed during three days; but no effect was produced. The partial drying up of the fluid on the disc slightly drew together the tentacles on it, as often occurs in experiments of this kind. The leaves on the third day appeared quite healthy. ''Potassium, Citrate of''. - Half-minims of a solution of one part to 437 of water, left on the discs of six leaves for three days, and the immersion of three leaves for 9 hrs., each in 30 minims of a solution of one part to 875 of water, did not produce the least effect. ''Potassium, Oxalate of''. - Half-minims were placed on different occasions on the discs of seventeen leaves; and the results perplexed me much, as they still do. Inflection supervened very slowly. After 24 hrs. four leaves out of the seventeen were well inflected, together with the blades of two; six were slightly affected, and seven not at all. Three leaves of one lot were observed for five days, and all died; but in another lot of six all excepting one looked healthy after four days. Three leaves were immersed during 9 hrs., each in 30 minims of a solution of one part to 875 of water, and were not in the least affected; but they ought to have been observed for a longer time. ''Potassium, Chloride of''. - Neither half-minims of a solution of one part to 437 of water, left on the discs of six leaves for three days, nor the immersion of three leaves during 25 hrs., in 30 minims of a solution of one part to 875 of water, produced the least effect. The immersed leaves were then treated with carbonate of ammonia, as described under nitrate of potash, and with the same result. ''Potassium, Iodide of''. - Half-minims of a solution of one part to 437 of water were placed on the discs of seven leaves. In 30 m. one leaf had the blade inflected ; after some hours three leaves had most of their submarginal tentacles mo<lerately inflected; the remaining three being very slightly affected. Hardly any of these leaves had their outer tentacles inflected. After 21 hrs. all reexpanded, excepting two which still had a few submarginal ten- tacles inflected. Three leaves were next immersed for 8 hrs. 40 m., each in 30 minims of a solution of one part to 875 of water, and were not in the least affected. I do not know what to conclude from this conflicting evidence; but it is clear that the iodide of potassium does not generally produce any marked effect. ''Potassium, Bromide of''. - Half-minims of a solution of one part to 437 of water were placed on the discs of six leaves; after 22 hrs. one had its blade and many tentacles inflected ; but I suspect that<noinclude><references/></noinclude> qfgcmve2ibx1auf27wymkg248bikdr8 Page:Poems for Children Sigourney 1836.pdf/8 104 4018762 12506743 2022-07-24T15:55:30Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|center=7}}</noinclude>{{larger|{{Hyphenated word end|ted|appreciated}}.

X. }}</noinclude>correct knowledge of this most curious subject. When we entered the tea-factory a strange scene was presented to our view. The place was crowded with women and children, all busily engaged in picking the stalks and yellow or brown leaves out of the black tea. For this labour each was paid at the rate of six cash a catty, and earned on an average about sixty cash a day,—a sum equal to about threepence of our money. The scene altogether was not unlike that in the great Government Cigar Manufactory at Manilla. Men were employed giving out the tea in its rough state, and in receiving it again when picked. With each portion of tea a wooden ticket was also given, which ticket had to be returned along with the tea. In the northern tea-countries the leaves are carefully weighed when they are given out and when they are brought back, in order to check peculation, which is not unfrequent. I did not observe this precaution taken at Canton. Besides the men who were thus employed, there were many others busily at work, passing the tea through various sized sieves, in order to get out the caper, and to separate the various kinds. This was also partly done by a winnowing machine, similar in construction to that used by our farmers in England. Having taken a passing glance at all these objects on entering the building, I next directed my attention to the scenting process, which had been the main object of my visit,—and which I shall now endeavour to describe. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 0z80stfwmursiz1t6tedlemieldi7ar Page:Poems for Children Sigourney 1836.pdf/11 104 4018782 12506799 2022-07-24T16:44:29Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" />{{rh|center=10}} {{block center/s|width=450px}}</noinclude> The Grave of a Child ... . . - 25 Baby's Note to a Baby, with a pair of Coral Bracelets ........ 26 Baby to a Baby, with a New Year's Present . 28 Baby of six months old, to her neighbor on his second birth-day ...... 32 Child of sixteen months old to a Cousin in* Boston . 36 Little Girl two years old, to a little Boy on his removal to New-York ..... 38 Little Girl to a little Girl with a basket of wild flowers ....... 42 Little Girl to her friend, with a present of Rev.

"He did not tell you the name of this blackguard?" "No, Count, he did not. Forgive me," I added, guessing the truth, "forgive me—I did not—could it really have been you?" "It was myself," replied the Count, greatly agitated; "and the shots in the picture are a memento of our last meeting." "Oh, my dear," said the Countess, "for God's sake, do not relate it! It frightens me to think of it." "No," replied the Count; "I must tell him all. He knows how I insulted his friend. He shall also know how Silvio revenged himself."

The honeymoon I spent here, in this village. To this house I am indebted for the happiest moments of my life, and for one of its saddest remembrances. "One afternoon we went out riding together. My wife's horse became restive. She was frightened, got off the horse, handed the reins over to me, and walked home. I rode on before her. In the yard I saw a travelling carriage, and I was told that in my study sat a man who would not give his name, but simply said that he wanted to see me on business. I entered the study, and saw in the darkness a man, dusty and unshaven. He stood there, by the fireplace. I approached him trying to recollect his face.

A pistol protruded from his side pocket. "I measured twelve paces, and stood there in that corner, begging him to fire quickly, before my wife came in. "He hesitated, and asked for a light. Candles were brought in. I locked the doors, gave orders that no one should enter, and again called upon him to fire. He took out his pistol and aimed. "I counted the seconds.... I thought of her.... A terrible moment passed! Then Silvio lowered his hand. {{" '}}I only regret,' he said, that the pistol is not loaded with cherry-stones. My bullet is heavy; and it always seems to me that an affair of this kind is not a duel, but a murder. I am not accustomed to aim at unarmed men. Let us begin again from the beginning. Let us cast lots as to who shall fire first.' "My head went round. I think I objected. Finally, however, we loaded another pistol and rolled up two pieces of paper. These he placed inside his cap; the one through which, at our first meeting, I had put the bullet. I again drew the lucky number. {{" '}}Count, you have the devil's luck,' he said, with a smile which I shall never forget. "I don't know what I was about, or how it happened that he succeeded in inducing me. But I fired and hit that picture." The Count pointed with his finger to the picture with the shot-marks. His face had become red with agitation. The Countess was whiter than her own handkerchief: and I could not restrain an exclamation. "I fired," continued the Count, "and, thank heaven, missed. Then Silvio—at this moment he was really terrible—then Silvio raised his pistol to take aim at me." {{image}} Suddenly the door flew open, Masha rushed into the room. She threw herself upon my neck with a loud shriek. Her presence restored to me all my courage. {{" '}}My dear,' I said to her, 'don't you see that we are only joking? How frightened you look! Go and drink a glass of water and then come back; I will introduce you to an old friend and comrade.' "Masha was still in doubt. {{" '}}Tell me, is my husband speaking the truth?' she asked, turning to the terrible Silvio; 'is it true that you are only joking?' {{" '}}He is always joking, Countess,' Silvio replied. 'He once in a joke gave me a slap in the face; in joke he put a bullet through this cap while I was wearing it; and in joke, too, he missed me when he fired just now. And now ''I'' have a fancy for a joke.' With these words he raised his pistol as if to shoot me down before her eyes! "Masha threw herself at his feet. {{" '}}Rise, Masha! For shame!' I cried in my passion; and you, sir, cease to amuse yourself at the expense of an unhappy woman. Will you fire or not?' {{" '}}I will not,' replied Silvio. 'I am satisfied. I have witnessed your agitation; your terror. I forced you to fire at me. That is enough; you will remember me. I leave you to your conscience.' "He was now about to go.

At its outset it had been terrible. It had engulfed Hicks’s army, swept over Gordon and Khartoum, rolled behind the British forces as they retired down the river, and finally cast up a spray of raiding parties as far north as Assouan. Then it found other channels to east and west, to Central Africa and to Abyssinia, and retired a little on the side of Egypt. For ten years there ensued a lull, during which the frontier garrisons looked out upon those distant blue hills of Dongola. Behind the violet mists which draped them lay a land of blood and horror. From time to time some adventurer went south towards those haze-girt mountains, tempted by stories of gum and ivory, but none ever returned. Once a mutilated Egyptian and once a Greck woman, mad with thirst and fear, made their way to the lines. They were the only exports of that country of darkness. Sometimes the sunset would turn those distant mists into a bank of crimson, and the dark mountains would rise from that sinister reek like islands in a sea of blood. It seemed a grim symbol in the south heaven when seen from the fort-capped hills by Wady Halfa. Ten years of lust in Khartoum, ten years of silent work in Cairo, and then all was ready, and it was time for Civilisation to take a trip south once more, travelling as her wont is in an armoured train. Everything was ready, down to the last pack-saddle of the last camel, and yet no one suspected it, for an unconstitutional Government has its advantage. A great administrator had argued, and managed, and cajoled; a great soldier had organised and planned, and made piastres do the work of pounds. And then one night these two master spirits met and clasped hands, and the soldier vanished away upon some {{missing image}}<noinclude>{{c|{{sm|23}}}}</noinclude> juqs9r8b9o61sch2quhr048qgxfpdl8 Page:The Strand Magazine (Volume 1).djvu/123 104 4018799 12506888 2022-07-24T17:54:05Z Qq1122qq 1889140 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="Qq1122qq" />{{rh||''THE PISTOL SHOT''|123}}</noinclude>it almost without taking aim, and disappeared. "My wife had sunk down fainting. The servants had not ventured to stop Silvio, whom they looked upon with terror. He passed out to the steps, called his coachman, and before I could collect myself drove off." The Count was silent. I had now heard the end of the story of which the beginning had long before surprised me. The hero of it I never saw again. I heard, however, that Silvio, during the rising of Alexander Ipsilanti, commanded a detachment of insurgents and was killed in action. {{image}}<noinclude></noinclude> bpt6vx4wfviibxuktzwx5xgictoadt7 Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/274 104 4018800 12506889 2022-07-24T17:55:33Z BethNaught 1181679 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="BethNaught" />{{rvh2|258|{{fine|CHAPTER TITLE}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>and certainly some of the constituents would have been ashamed to have been represented by a bricklayer. It is part of that general desire to appear well, the optimistic and thoroughly American belief, that even if a man is working with his hands to-day, he and his children will quite likely be in a better position in the swift coming to-morrow, and there is no need of being too closely associated with common working people. There is an honest absence of class consciousness, and a naïve belief that the kind of occupation quite largely determines social position. This is doubtless exaggerated in a neighborhood of foreign people by the fact that as each nationality becomes more adapted to American conditions, the scale of its occupation rises. Fifty years ago in America "a Dutchman" was used as a term of reproach, meaning a man whose language was not understood, and who performed menial tasks, digging sewers and building railroad embankments.

The barges lay in the river holding everything most coveted, from precious cargoes of silk to comfortable-looking bales of tobacco, protected only from wind, weather, and wicked fingers by a layer of tarpaulin—everything ready and inviting to those who devoted their peculiar talents and irrepressible instincts to the water. Goods to the value of a million sterling were being neatly appropriated every year. The City merchants were at their wits' end.

And just at that very time, Bimbashi Hilary Joyce, seconded from the Royal Mallow Fusiliers, and temporarily attached to the Ninth Soudanese, made his first appearance in Cairo. Napoleon had said, and Hilary Joyce had noted, that great reputations are only to be made in the East. Here he was in the East with four tin cases of baggage, a Wilkinson sword, a Bond’s slug-throwing pistol, and a copy of “Green’s Introduction to the Study of Arabic.” With such a start, and the blood of youth running hot in his veins, everything seemed easy. He was a little frightened of the general; he had heard stories of his sternness to young officers, but with tact and suavity he hoped for the best. So, leaving his effects at “Shepherd’s Hotel,” he reported himself at headquarters. It was not the general, but the head of the Intelligence Department who received him, the chief being still absent upon that business which had called him. Hilary Joyce found himself in the presence of a short, thick-set officer, with a gentle voice and a placid expression which covered a remarkably acute and energetic spirit. With that quiet smile and guileless manner he had undercut and outwitted the most cunning of Orientals. He stood, a cigarette between his fingers, looking at the newcomer. “I heard that you had come. Sorry the chief isn’t here to see you. Gone up to the frontier, you know.” “My regiment is at Wady Halfa. I suppose, sir, that I should report myself there at once?” “No; I was to give you your orders.” He led the way to a map upon the wall, and pointed with the end of his cigarette. “You see this place. It’s the Oasis of Kurkur—a little quiet, I am afraid, but excellent air. You are to get out there as quick as possible. You’ll find a company of the Ninth, and half a squadron of cavalry. You will be in command.” Hilary Joyce looked at the name, printed at the intersection of two black lines without another dot upon the map for several inches around it. “A village, sir?” “No, a well. Not very good water, I’m afraid, but you soon get accustomed to natron. It’s an important post, as being at the junction of two caravan routes. All routes are closed now, of course, but still you never know who ''might'' come along them.” “We are there, I presume, to prevent raiding?” “Well, between you and me, there’s really nothing to raid. You are there to intercept messengers. They must call at the wells. Of course you have only just come out, but you probably understand already enough about the conditions of this country to know that<noinclude></noinclude> 56dtjcgbukqju71bqoo5m9dnk7ocfpx Page:Princess Mary's Gift Book (IA princessmarysgif00mary).pdf/41 104 4018803 12506894 2022-07-24T17:59:27Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh||BIMBASHI JOYCE|25}}</noinclude>there is a great deal of disaffection about, and that the Khalifa is likely to try and keep in touch with his adherents. Then, again, Senoussi lives up that way”—he waved his cigarette to the westward—“the Khalifa might send a messenger to him along that route. Anyhow, your duty is to arrest every one coming along, and get some account of him before you let him go. You don’t talk Arabic, I suppose?” “I am learning, sir.” “Well, well, you’ll have time enough to study there. And you’ll have a native officer, Ali something or other, who speaks English, and can interpret for you. Well, good-bye—I’ll tell the chief that you reported yourself. Get on to your post now as quickly as you can.” Railway to Baliani, the post-boat to Assouan, and then two days on a camel in the Libyan desert, with an Ababdeh guide, and three baggage-camels to tie one down to their own exasperating pace. However, even two and a half miles an hour mount up in time, and at last, on the third evening, from the blackened slag-heap of a hill which is called the Jebel Kurkur, Hilary Joyce looked down upon a distant clump of palms, and thought that this cool patch of green in the midst of the merciless blacks and yellows was the fairest colour effect that he had ever seen. An hour later he had ridden into the little camp, the guard had turned out to salute him, his native subordinate had greeted him in excellent English, and he had fairly entered into his own. It was not an exhilarating place for a lengthy residence. There was one large, bowl-shaped, grassy depression sloping down to the three pits of brown and brackish water. {{missing image}} There, also, was the grove of palm trees beautiful to look upon, but exasperating in view of the fact that Nature has provided her least shady trees on the very spot where shade is needed most. A single wide-spread acacia did something to restore the balance. Here Hilary Joyce slumbered in the heat, and in the cool he inspected his square-shouldered, spindle-shanked Soudanese, with their cheery black faces and their funny little pork-pie forage caps. Joyce was a martinet at drill, and the blacks loved being drilled, so the Bimbashi was soon popular among them. But one day was exactly like another.

So the merchants held solemn conclave, the result of which was the formation, in 1792, of "The Preventative Service," a title which clung to the members thereof until 1839, when they were embodied with the Metropolitan Police with the special privilege of posing as City constables. Now they are a body of two hundred and two strong, possessing twenty-eight police galleys and a trio of steam launches. From a million pounds' worth of property stolen yearly a hundred years ago, they have, by a persistent traversing of a watery beat, reduced it to one hundred pounds. Smuggling is in reality played out, though foggy nights are still fascinating to those so inclined; but now they have to be content with a coil or two of old rope, an ingot of lead, or a few fish. Still the river-policeman's eye and the light of his lantern are always searching for suspicious characters and guilty-looking craft. In High-street, Wapping, famous for its river romances, and within five hundred yards of the Old Stairs, the principal station of the Thames Police is to be found. The traditional blue lamp projects over a somewhat gloomy passage leading down to the river-side landing stage. To us, on the night appointed for our expedition, it is a welcome beacon as to the whereabouts of law and order, for only a few minutes previously half dozen worthy gentlemen standing at the top of some neighbouring steps, wearing slouched hats and anything but a comforting expression on their faces gruffly demanded, "Do you want a boat?" Fortunately we did not. These estimable individuals had only just left the dock of the police station, where they had been charged on suspicion, but eventually discharged. {{image}} It is a quarter to six o'clock. At six we are to start for our journey up the river as far as Waterloo and back again to Greenwich; but there is time to take a hasty survey of the interior of the station, where accommodation is provided for sixteen single men, with a library, reading-room, and billiard-room at their disposal. {{image}} "Fine night, sir; rather cold, though," says a hardy-looking fellow dressed in a reefer and a brightly glazed old-time man-o'-war's hat. He is one of the two oldest men in the force, and could tell how he lost his wife and all his family, save one lad, when the ''Princess Alice'' went down in 1878. He searched for ten days and ten nights, but they were lost to him.

At the end of three weeks he felt that he had been there for interminable years. And then at last there came something to break the monotony. {{missing image}} One evening, as the sun was sinking, Hilary Joyce rode slowly down the old caravan read. It had a fascination for him, this narrow track, winding among the boulders and curving up the nullahs, for he remembered how in the map it had gone on and on, stretching away into the unknown heart of Africa. The countless pads of innumerable camels through many centuries had beaten it smooth, so that now, unused and deserted, it still wound away, the strangest of roads, a foot broad, and perhaps two thousand miles in length. Joyce wondered as he rode how long it was since any traveller had journeyed up it from the south, and then he raised his eyes, and there was a man coming along the path. For an instant Joyce thought that it might be one of his own men, but a second glance assured him that this could not be so. The stranger was dressed in the flowing robes of an Arab, and not in the close-fitting khaki of a soldier. He was very tall, and a high turban made him seem gigantic. He strode swiftly along, with head erect, and the bearing of a man who knows no fear. Who could he be, this formidable giant coming out of the unknown? The precursor possibly of a horde of savage spearmen. And where could he have walked from? The nearest well was a long hundred miles down the track. At any rate the frontier post of Kurkur could not afford to receive casual visitors. Hilary Joyce whisked round his horse, galloped into camp, and gave the alarm. Then, with twenty horsemen at his back, he rode out again to reconnoitre. The man was still coming on in spite of these hostile preparations. For an instant he hesitated when first he saw the cavalry, but escape was out of the question, and he advanced with the air of a man who makes the best of a bad job. He made no resistance, and said nothing when the hands of two troopers clutched at his shoulders, but walked quietly between their horses into camp. Shortly afterwards the patrol came in again. There were no signs of any dervishes. The man was alone. A splendid trotting camel had been found lying dead a little way down the track. The mystery of the stranger’s arrival was explained. But why, and whence, and whither?—these were questions for which a zealous officer must find an answer. {{missing image}} Hilary Joyce was disappointed that there were no dervishes. It would have been a great start for him in the Egyptian army had he fought a little action on his own account. But even as it was, he had a rare chance of impressing the authorities.

The prisoner’s dress and bearing showed that he was of importance. Mean men do not ride pure-bred trotting camels. Joyce sponged his head with cold water, drank a cup of strong coffee, put on an imposing official tarboosh instead of his sun-helmet, and formed himself into a court of inquiry and judgment under the acacia tree. He would have liked his people to have seen him now, with his two black orderlies in waiting, and his Egyptian native officer at his side. He sat behind a camp-table, and the prisoner, strongly guarded, was led up to him. The man was a handsome fellow, with bold grey eyes and a long black beard. “Why!” cried Joyce, “the rascal is making faces at me.” A curious contraction had passed over the man’s features, but so swiftly that it might have been a nervous twitch. He was now a model of Oriental gravity. “Ask him who he is, and what he wants?” The native officer did so, but the stranger made no reply, save that the same sharp spasm passed once more over his face. “Well, I’m blessed!” cried Hilary Joyce. “Of all the impudent scoundrels! He keeps on winking at me. Who are you, you rascal? Give an account of yourself! D’ye hear?” But the tall Arab was as impervious to English as to Arabic. The Egyptian tried again and in. The prisoner looked at Joyce with his inscrutable eyes, and occasionally twitched his face at him, but never opened his mouth. The Bimbashi scratched his head in bewilderment. “Look here, Mahomet Ali, we’ve got to get some sense out of this fellow. You say there are no papers on him?” “No, sir; we found no papers.” “No clue of any kind?” “He has come far, sir. A trotting camel docs not die easily. He has come from Dongola, at least.” “Well, we must get him to talk.” “It is possible that he is deaf and dumb.” “Not he. I never saw a man look more all there in my life.” “You might send him across to Assouan.” “And give some one else the credit? No, thank you. This is my bird. But how are we going to get him to find his tongue?” The Egyptian’s dark eyes skirted the encampment and rested on the cook’s fire. “Perhaps,” said he, “if the Bimbashi thought fit{{bar|2}}” He looked at the prisoner and then at the burning wood. “No, no; it wouldn’t do.

It’s all very well here, but it would sound just awful if ever it got as far as Fleet Street. But, I say,” he whispered, “we might frighten him a bit. There’s no harm in that.” “No, sir.” “Tell them to undo the man’s galabeeah. Order them to put a horseshoe in the fire and make it red-hot.” The prisoner watched the proceedings with an air which had more of amusement than of uneasiness. He never winced as the black sergeant approached with the glowing shoe held upon two bayonets. “Will you speak now?” asked the Bimbashi, savagely. The prisoner smiled gently and stroked his beard. “Oh, chuck the infernal thing away!” cried Joyce, jumping up in a passion. “There’s no use trying to bluff the fellow. He knows we won’t do it. But I ''can'' and I ''will'' flog him, and you can tell him from me that if he hasn’t found his tongue by to-morrow morning I’ll take the skin off his back as sure as my name’s Joyce. Have you said all that?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, you can sleep upon it, you beauty, and a good night’s rest may it give you!” He adjourned the Court, and the prisoner, as imperturbable as ever, was led away by the guard to his supper of rice and water. Hilary Joyee was a kind-hearted man, and his own sleep was considerably disturbed by the prospect of the punishment which he must inflict next day. He had hopes that the mere sight of the koorbash and the thongs might prevail over his prisoner’s obstinacy. And then, again, he thought how shocking it would be if the man proved to be really dumb after all, he possibility shook him so that he had almost determined by daybreak that he would send the stranger on unhurt to Assouan. And yet what a tame conclusion it would be to the incident! He lay upon his angareeb still debating it when the question suddenly and effectively settled itself. Ali Mahomet rushed into his tent. “Sir,” he cried, “the prisoner is gone!” “Gone!” “Yes, sir, and your own best riding camel as well. There is a slit cut in the tent, and he got away unseen in the early morning.” The Bimbashi acted with all energy. Cavalry rode along every track; scouts examined the soft sand of the wadys for signs of the fugitive, but no trace was discovered. The man had utterly disappeared. With a heavy heart, Hilary Joyce wrote an official report of the matter and forwarded it to Assouan.

He feared the worst from the stern soldier, who spared others as little as he spared himself. And his worst forebodings were realised. Travel-stained and weary, he reported himself one night at the general’s quarters. Behind a table piled with papers and strewn with maps the famous soldier and his Chief of Intelligence were deep in plans and figures. Their greeting was a cold one. “I understand, Captain Joyce,” said the general, “that you have allowed a very important prisoner to slip through your fingers.” “I am sorry, sir.” “No doubt. But that will not mend matters. Did you ascertain anything about him before you lost him?” “No, sir.” “How was that?” “I could get nothing out of him, sir.” “Did you try?” “Yes, sir; I did what I could.” “What did you do?” “Well, sir, I threatened to use physical force.” “What did he say?” “He said nothing.” “What was he like?” “A tall man, sir. Rather a desperate character, I should think.” “Any way by which we could identify him?” “A long black beard, sir. Grey eyes. And a nervous way of twitching his face.” “Well, Captain Joyce,” said the general, in his stern, inflexible voice, “I cannot congratulate you upon your first exploit in the Egyptian army. You are aware that every English officer in this force is a picked man. I have the whole British army from which to draw. It is necessary, therefore, that I should insist upon the very highest efficiency. It would be unfair upon the others to pass over any obvious want of zeal or intelligence. You are seconded from the Royal Mallows, I understand?” “Yes, sir.” “I have no doubt that your colonel will be glad to see you fulfilling your regimental duties again.” Hilary Joyce’s heart was too heavy for words. He was silent. “I will let you know my final decision to-morrow morning.” Joyce saluted and turned upon his heel. “You can sleep upon that, you beauty, and a good night’s rest may it give you!” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> enzhpj5ysqr2rn904z4q47134k46dyu Page:Princess Mary's Gift Book (IA princessmarysgif00mary).pdf/48 104 4018812 12506947 2022-07-24T18:14:28Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh|30|PRINCESS MARY’S GIFT BOOK}}</noinclude>Joyce tuned in bewilderment. Where had those words been used before? Who was it who had used them? The general was standing erect. Both he and the Chief of the Intelligence were laughing. Joyce stared at the tall figure, the erect bearing, the inscrutable grey eyes. “Good Lord!” he gasped. “Well, well, Captain Joyce, we are quits!” said the general, holding out his hand. “You gave me a bad ten minutes with that infernal red-hot horseshoe of yours. I’ve done as much for you. I don’t think we can spare you for the Royal Mallows just yet awhile.” “But, sir; but{{bar|2}}!” “The fewer questions the better, perhaps. But of course it must seem rather amazing. I had a little private business with the Kabbabish. It must be done in person. I did it, and came to your post in my return. I kept on winking at you as a sign that I wanted a word with you alone.” “Yes, yes. I begin to understand.” “I couldn’t give it away before all those blacks, or where should I have been the next time I used my false beard and Arab dress? You put me in a very awkward position. But at last I had a word alone with your Egyptian officer, who managed my escape all right.” “He! Mahomet Ali!” “I ordered him to say nothing. I had a score to settle with you. But we dine at eight, Captain Joyce. We live plainly here, but I think I can do you a little better than you did me at Kurkur.” {{missing image}}<noinclude></noinclude> 7w50n5pobebgp0f1f5eq7ztekl6zdv1 A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 304 0 4018813 12506997 2022-07-24T18:34:01Z Chrisguise 2855804 Created page with "{{header | title = [[../]] | author = Leonardo da Vinci | translator = John Francis Rigaud | section = The Character of Figures in Composition | previous = [[../Chapter 303/]] | next = [[../Chapter 305/]] | notes = }} <pages index="A Treatise on Painting.djvu" from=312 fromsection="Chapter 304" to=313 tosection="Chapter 304" /> {{smallrefs}} {{default layout|Layout 2}}" wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Leonardo da Vinci | translator = John Francis Rigaud | section = The Character of Figures in Composition | previous = [[../Chapter 303/]] | next = [[../Chapter 305/]] | notes = }} <pages index="A Treatise on Painting.djvu" from=312 fromsection="Chapter 304" to=313 tosection="Chapter 304" /> {{smallrefs}} {{default layout|Layout 2}} 280k4ob9vtazm1w5disrdkhce5rf0nj 12507001 12506997 2022-07-24T18:35:20Z Chrisguise 2855804 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Leonardo da Vinci | translator = John Francis Rigaud | section = The Character of Figures in Composition | previous = [[../Chapter 303/]] | next = [[../Chapter 305/]] | notes = }} <pages index="A Treatise on Painting.djvu" from=313 fromsection="Chapter 304" to=314 tosection="Chapter 304" /> {{smallrefs}} {{default layout|Layout 2}} 3n2uqsqi57vpj17c24pjwz0l7272u3i 12507195 12507001 2022-07-24T20:28:36Z Chrisguise 2855804 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Leonardo da Vinci | translator = John Francis Rigaud | section = Aerial Perspective | previous = [[../Chapter 303/]] | next = [[../Chapter 305/]] | notes = }} <pages index="A Treatise on Painting.djvu" from=313 fromsection="Chapter 304" to=314 tosection="Chapter 304" /> {{smallrefs}} {{default layout|Layout 2}} 0pg4z01ovstmts6xh8dh24bho2jhi6d Page:Poems for Children Sigourney 1836.pdf/14 104 4018814 12507006 2022-07-24T18:39:03Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 text and format proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Esme Shepherd" /></noinclude><section begin="Who Made" />{{nop}} {{c|{{xx-larger|'''POEMS FOR CHILDREN.'''}} "''Who made me?''"}} {{center block| <poem> {{sc|He}}, who spread out the sky, That broad, blue canopy; Who made the glorious sun, The moon to shine by night, The stars with eye so bright, ''He made thee, little one.''

He was of an ancient Huguenot family, and had once been wealthy; but a series of misfortunes had reduced him to want. To avoid the mortification consequent upon his disasters, he left New Orleans, the city of his forefathers, and took up his residence at Sullivan’s Island, near Charleston, South Carolina.</div> This island is a very singular one. It consists of little else than the sea sand, and is about three miles long. Its breadth at no point exceeds a quarter of a mile. It is separated from the mainland by a scarcely perceptible creek, oozing its way through a wilderness of reeds and slime, a favourite resort of the marsh-hen. The vegetation, as might be supposed, is scant, or at least dwarfish. No trees of any magnitude are to be seen. Near the western extremity, where Fort Moultrie stands, and where are some miserable frame buildings, tenanted, during summer, by the fugitives from Charleston dust and fever, may be found, indeed, the bristly palmetto; but the whole island, with the exception of this western point, and a line of hard, white beach on the seacoast, is covered with a dense undergrowth of the sweet myrtle so much prized by the horticulturist of England. The shrub here often attains the height of fifteen or twenty feet, and forms an almost impenetrable coppice, burthening the air with its fragrance. In the inmost recesses of this coppice, not far from the eastern or more remote end of the island, Legrand had built himself a small hut, which he occupied when I first, by mere accident, made his acquaintance. This soon ripened into friendship—for there was much in the recluse to excite interest and esteem. I found him well educated, with unusual powers of mind, but infected with misanthropy, and subject to perverse moods of alternate enthusiasm and melancholy. He had with him many books, but rarely employed them. His chief amusements were gunning and fishing, or sauntering along the beach and through the myrtles, in quest of shells or entomological specimens—his collection of the latter might have been<noinclude>{{c|130}}</div></noinclude> m05kmndewfhgw2oij3iozzejgfn05zm A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 344 0 4018818 12507016 2022-07-24T18:47:45Z Chrisguise 2855804 Created page with "{{header | title = [[../]] | author = Leonardo da Vinci | translator = John Francis Rigaud | section = Why a painted Object does not appear so far distant as a real one, though they be conveyed to the Eye by equal Angles | previous = [[../Chapter 343/]] | next = [[../Chapter 345/]] | notes = }} <pages index="A Treatise on Painting.djvu" from=342 fromsection="Chapter 344" to=342 tosection="Chapter 344" /> {{smallrefs}} {{default layout|Lay..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Leonardo da Vinci | translator = John Francis Rigaud | section = Why a painted Object does not appear so far distant as a real one, though they be conveyed to the Eye by equal Angles | previous = [[../Chapter 343/]] | next = [[../Chapter 345/]] | notes = }} <pages index="A Treatise on Painting.djvu" from=342 fromsection="Chapter 344" to=342 tosection="Chapter 344" /> {{smallrefs}} {{default layout|Layout 2}} afvdzn8sketlkz2a4gy9vxgdsmi4s11 Page:Tender Grass for Little Lambs.pdf/37 104 4018819 12507018 2022-07-24T18:49:29Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "of them had not waited to see how and when he would come, but they laid it down that he ought and must come in great state and pomp, like a king.

It is a considerable town, it is true, nowadays, but then there are no alien activities to disturb the place—no manufactures, and not much trade. And there is a very respectable amount of very good society at Carlingford. To begin with, it is a pretty place—mild, sheltered, not far from town; and naturally its very reputation for good society increases the amount of that much-prized article. The advantages of the town in this respect have already put five per cent upon the house-rents; but this, of course, only refers to the real town, where you can go through an entire street of high garden-walls, with houses inside full of the retired exclusive comforts, the dainty economical refinement peculiar to such places; and where the good people consider their own society as a warrant of gentility less splendid, but not less assured, than the favour of Majesty itself. Naturally there are no Dissenters in Carlingford—that is to say, none above the rank of a greengrocer or milkman; and in bosoms devoted to the Church it may be well imagined that the advent of the new Rector was an event full of importance, and even of excitement. He was highly spoken of, everybody knew; but nobody knew who had spoken highly of him, nor had been able to find out, even by inference, what were his views. The Church had been Low during the last Rector's reign—profoundly Low—lost in the deepest abysses of Evangelicalism. A determined inclination to preach to everybody had seized upon that good man's brain; he had half emptied Salem Chapel, there could be no doubt; but, on the other hand, he had more than half filled the Chapel of St Roque, half a mile out of Carlingford, where the perpetual curate, young, handsome, and fervid, was on the very topmost pinnacle of Anglicanism. St Roque's was not more than a pleasant walk from the best quarter of Carlingford, on the north side of the town, thank heaven! which one could get at without the dread passage of that new horrid suburb, to which young Mr Rider, the young doctor, was devoting himself. But the Evangelical rector was dead, and his reign was over, and nobody could predict what the character of the new administration was to be. The obscurity in which the new Rector had buried his views was the most extraordinary thing about him. He had taken high honours at college, and was "highly spoken of;" but whether he was High, or Low, or Broad, muscular or sentimental, sermonising or decorative, nobody in the world seemed able to tell. "Fancy if he were just to be a Mr Bury over again! Fancy him going to the canal, and having sermons to the bargemen, and attending to all sorts of people except to us, whom it is his duty to attend to!" cried one of this much-canvassed clergyman's curious parishioners. "Indeed I do believe he must be one of these people. If he were in society at all, somebody would be sure to know." "Lucy dear, Mr Bury christened you," said another not less curious but more tolerant inquirer. "Then he did you the greatest of all services," cried the third member of the little group which discussed the new Rector under Mr Wodehouse's blossomed apple-trees. "He conferred such a benefit upon you that he deserves all reverence at your hand. Wonderful idea! a man confers this greatest of Christian blessings on multitudes, and does not himself appreciate the boon he conveys!" "Well, for that matter, Mr Wentworth, you know{{bar|2}}" said the elder lady; but she got no farther. Though she was verging upon forty, leisurely, pious, and unmarried, that good Miss Wodehouse was not polemical. She had "her own opinions," but few people knew much about them. She was seated on a green garden-bench which surrounded the great May-tree in that large, warm, well-furnished garden. The high brick walls, all clothed with fruit-trees, shut in an enclosure of which not a morsel except this velvet grass, with its nests of daisies, was not under the highest and most careful cultivation. It was such a scene as is only to be found in an old country town; the walls jealous of intrusion, yet thrusting tall plumes of lilac and stray branches of apple-blossom, like friendly salutations to the world without; within, the blossoms drooping over the light bright head of Lucy Wodehouse underneath the apple-trees, and impertinently flecking the Rev. Frank Wentworth's Anglican coat. These two last were young people, with that indefinable harmony in their looks which prompts the suggestion of "a handsome couple" to the bystander. It had not even occurred to them to be in love with each other, so far as anybody knew, yet few were the undiscerning persons who saw them together without instinctively placing the young curate of St Roque's in permanence by Lucy's side. She was twenty, pretty, blue-eyed, and full of dimples, with a broad Leghorn hat thrown carelessly on her head, untied, with broad strings of blue ribbon falling among her fair curls—a blue which was "repeated," according to painter jargon, in ribbons at her throat and waist. She had great gardening gloves on, and a basket and huge pair of scissors on the grass at her feet, which grass, besides, was strewed with a profusion of all the sweetest spring blossoms—the sweet narcissus, most exquisite of flowers, lilies of the valley, white and blue hyacinths, golden ranunculus globes—worlds of sober, deep-breathing wallflower. If Lucy had been doing what her kind elder sister called her "duty," she would have been at this moment arranging her flowers in the drawing-room; but the times were rare when Lucy did her duty according to Miss Wodehouse's estimate; so instead of arranging those clusters of narcissus, she clubbed them together in her hands into a fragrant dazzling sheaf, and discussed the new Rector—not unaware, perhaps, in her secret heart, that the sweet morning, the sunshine and flowers, and exhilarating air, were somehow secretly enhanced by the presence of that black Anglican figure under the apple-trees. "But I suppose," said Lucy, with a sigh, "we must wait till we see him; and if I must be very respectful of Mr Bury because he christened me, I am heartily glad the new Rector has no claim upon my reverence. I have been christened, I have been confirmed{{bar|2}}" "But, Lucy, my dear, the chances are he will marry you," said Miss Wodehouse, calmly; "indeed, there can be no doubt that it is only natural he should, for he ''is'' the Rector, you know; and though we go so often to St Roque's, Mr Wentworth will excuse me saying that he is a very young man." Miss Wodehouse was knitting; she did not see the sudden look of dismay and amazement which the curate of St Roque's darted down upon her, nor the violent sympathetic blush which blazed over both the young faces. How shocking that elderly quiet people should have such a faculty for suggestions! You may be sure Lucy Wodehouse and young Wentworth, had it not been "put into their heads" in such an absurd fashion, would never, all their virtuous lives, have dreamt of anything but friendship. Deep silence ensued after this simple but startling speech. Miss Wodehouse knitted on, and took no notice; Lucy began to gather up the flowers into the basket, unable for her life to think of anything to say. For his part, Mr Wentworth gravely picked the apple-blossoms off his coat, and counted them in his hand. That sweet summer snow kept dropping, dropping, falling here and there as the wind carried it, and with a special attraction to Lucy and her blue ribbons; while behind, Miss Wodehouse sat calmly on the green bench, under the May-tree just beginning to bloom, without lifting her eyes from her knitting. Not far off, the bright English house, all beaming with open doors and windows, shone in the sunshine. With the white May peeping out among the green overhead, and the sweet narcissus in a great dazzling sheaf upon the grass, making all the air fragrant around them, can anybody fancy a sweeter domestic out-of-door scene? or else it seemed so to the perpetual curate of St Roque's. Ah me! and if he was to be perpetual curate, and none of his great friends thought upon him, or had preferment to bestow, how do you suppose he could ever, ever marry Lucy Wodehouse, if they were to wait a hundred years? Just then the garden-gate—the green gate in the wall—opened to the creaking murmur of Mr Wodehouse's own key. Mr Wodehouse was a man who creaked universally. His boots were a heavy infliction upon the good-humour of his household; and like every other invariable quality of dress, the peculiarity became identified with him in every particular of his life. Everything belonging to him moved with a certain jar, except, indeed, his household, which went on noiseless wheels, thanks to Lucy and love. As he came along the garden path, the gravel started all round his unmusical foot. Miss Wodehouse alone turned round to hail her father's approach, but both the young people looked up at her instinctively, and saw her little start, the falling of her knitting-needles, the little flutter of colour which surprise brought to her maidenly, middle-aged cheek. How they both divined it I cannot tell, but it certainly was no surprise to either of them when a tall embarrassed figure, following the portly one of Mr Wodehouse, stepped suddenly from the noisy gravel to the quiet grass, and stood gravely awkward behind the father of the house. "My dear children, here's the Rector—delighted to see him! we're all delighted to see him!" cried Mr Wodehouse. "This is my little girl Lucy, and this is my eldest daughter. They're both as good as curates, though I say it, you know, as shouldn't. I suppose you've got something tidy for lunch, Lucy, eh? To be sure you ought to know—how can I tell? She might have had only cold mutton, for anything I knew—and that won't do, you know, after college fare. Hollo, Wentworth! I beg your pardon—who thought of seeing you here? I thought you had morning service, and all that sort of thing. Delighted to make you known to the Rector so soon. Mr Proctor—Mr Wentworth of St Roque's." The Rector bowed. He had no time to say anything, fortunately for him; but a vague sort of colour fluttered over his face. It was his first living; and cloistered in All-Souls for fifteen years of his life, how is a man to know all at once how to accost his parishioners? especially when these curious unknown specimens of natural life happen to be female creatures, doubtless accustomed to compliment and civility. If ever any one was thankful to hear the sound of another man's voice, that person was the new Rector of Carlingford, standing in the bewildering garden-scene into which the green door had so suddenly admitted him, all but treading on the dazzling bundle of narcissus, and turning with embarrassed politeness from the perpetual curate, whose salutation was less cordial than it might have been, to those indefinite flutters of blue ribbon from which Mr Proctor's tall figure divided the ungracious young man. "But come along to lunch. Bless me! don't let us be too ceremonious," cried Mr Wodehouse. "Take Lucy, my dear sir—take Lucy. Though she has her garden-gloves on, she's manager indoors for all that. Molly here is the one we coddle up and take care of. Put down your knitting, child, and don't make an old woman of yourself. To be sure, it's your own concern—you should know best; but that's my opinion. Why, Wentworth, where are you off to? 'Tisn't a fast, surely—is it, Mary?—nothing of the sort; it's Thursday—''Thursday'', do you hear? and the Rector newly arrived. Come along." "I am much obliged, but I have an appointment," began the curate, with restraint. "Why didn't you keep it, then, before we came in," cried Mr Wodehouse, "chatting with a couple of girls like Lucy and Mary? Come along, come along—an appointment with some old woman or other, who wants to screw flannels and things out of you—well, I suppose so! I don't know anything else you could have to say to them. Come along." "Thank you. I shall hope to wait on the Rector shortly," said young Wentworth, more and more stiffly; "but at present I am sorry it is not in my power. Good morning, Miss Wodehouse—good morning; I am happy to have had the opportunity{{bar|2}}" and the voice of the perpetual curate died off into vague murmurs of politeness as he made his way towards the green door. That green door! what a slight, paltry barrier—one plank and no more; but outside a dusty dry road, nothing to be seen but other high brick walls, with here and there an apple-tree or a lilac, or the half-developed flower-turrets of a chestnut looking over—nothing to be seen but a mean little costermonger's cart, with a hapless donkey, and, down in the direction of St Roque's, the long road winding, still drier and dustier. Ah me! was it paradise inside? or was it only a merely mortal lawn dropped over with apple-blossoms, blue ribbons, and other vanities? Who could tell? The perpetual curate wended sulky on his way. I fear the old woman would have made neither flannel nor tea and sugar out of him in that inhuman frame of mind. "Dreadful young prig that young Wentworth," said Mr Wodehouse, "but comes of a great family, you know, and gets greatly taken notice of—to be sure he does, child. I suppose it's for his family's sake: I can't see into people's hearts. It may be higher motives, to be sure, and all that. He's gone off in a huff about something; never mind, luncheon comes up all the same. Now, let's address ourselves to the business of life." For when Mr Wodehouse took knife and fork in hand a singular result followed. He was silent—at least he talked no longer: the mystery of carving, of eating, of drinking—all the serious business of the table—engrossed the good man. He had nothing more to say for the moment; and then a dread unbroken silence fell upon the little company. The Rector coloured, faltered, cleared his throat—he had not an idea how to get into conversation with such unknown entities. He looked hard at Lucy, with a bold intention of addressing her; but, having the bad fortune to meet her eye, shrank back, and withdrew the venture. Then the good man inclined his profile towards Miss Wentworth. His eyes wandered wildly round the room in search of a suggestion; but, alas! it was a mere dining-room, very comfortable, but not imaginative. In his dreadful dilemma he was infinitely relieved by the sound of somebody's voice. "I trust you will like Carlingford, Mr Proctor," said Miss Wodehouse, mildly. "Yes—oh yes; I trust so," answered the confused but grateful man; "that is, it will depend very much, of course, on the kind of people I find here." "Well, we are a little vain. To tell the truth, indeed, we rather pride ourselves a little on the good society in Carlingford," said his gentle and charitable interlocutor. "Ah, yes—ladies?" said the Rector: "hum—that was not what I was thinking of." "But, oh, Mr Proctor," cried Lucy, with a sudden access of fun, "you don't mean to say that you dislike ladies' society, I hope?" The Rector gave an uneasy half-frightened glance at her. The creature was dangerous even to a Fellow of All-Souls. "I may say I know very little about them," said the bewildered clergyman. As soon as he had said the words he thought they sounded rude; but how could he help it?—the truth of his speech was indisputable. "Come here, and we'll initiate you—come here as often as you can spare us a little of your time," cried Mr Wodehouse, who had come to a pause in his operations. "You couldn't have a better chance. They're head people in Carlingford, though I say it. There's Mary, she's a learned woman; take you up in a false quantity, sir, a deal sooner than I should. And Lucy, she's in another line altogether; but there's quantities of people swear by her. What's the matter, children, eh? I suppose so—people tell me so. If people tell me so all day long, I'm entitled to believe it, I presume?" Lucy answered this by a burst of laughter, not loud but cordial, which rang sweet and strange upon the Rector's ears. Miss Wodehouse, on the contrary, looked a little ashamed, blushed a pretty pink old-maidenly blush, and mildly remonstrated with papa. The whole scene was astonishing to the stranger. He had been living out of nature so long that he wondered within himself whether it was common to retain the habits and words of childhood to such an age as that which good Miss Wodehouse put no disguise upon, or if sisters with twenty years of difference between them were usual in ordinary households. He looked at them with looks which to Miss Wodehouse appeared disapproving, but which in reality meant only surprise and discomfort. He was exceedingly glad when lunch was over, and he was at liberty to take his leave. With very different feelings from those of young Wentworth the Rector crossed the boundary of that green door. When he saw it closed behind him he drew a long breath of relief, and looked up and down the dusty road, and through those lines of garden walls, where the loads of blossom burst over everywhere, with a sensation of having escaped and got at liberty. After a momentary pause and gaze round him in enjoyment of that liberty, the Rector gave a start and went on again rapidly. A dismayed, discomfited, helpless sensation came over him. These parishioners!—these female parishioners! From out of another of those green doors had just emerged a brilliant group of ladies, the rustle of whose dress and murmur of whose voices he could hear in the genteel half-rural silence. The Rector bolted: he never slackened pace nor drew breath till he was safe in the vacant library of the Rectory, among old Mr Bury's book-shelves. It seemed the only safe place in Carlingford to the languishing transplanted Fellow of All-Souls. {{dhr}} {{anchor|II}}{{heading|CHAPTER II.|3|c|normal|mb05}} {{sc|A month}} later, Mr Proctor had got fairly settled in his new rectory, with a complete modest establishment becoming his means—for Carlingford was a tolerable living. And in the newly-furnished sober drawing-room sat a very old lady, lively but infirm, who was the Rector's mother. Nobody knew that this old woman kept the Fellow of All-Souls still a boy at heart, nor that the reserved and inappropriate man forgot his awkwardness in his mother's presence. He was not only a very affectionate son, but a dutiful good child to her. It had been his pet scheme for years to bring her from her Devonshire cottage, and make her mistress of his house. That had been the chief attraction, indeed, which drew him to Carlingford; for had he consulted his own tastes, and kept to his college, who would insure him that at seventy-five his old mother might not glide away out of life without that last gleam of sunshine long intended for her by her grateful son? This scene, accordingly, was almost the only one which reconciled him to the extraordinary change in his life. There she sat, the lively old lady; very deaf, as you could almost divine by that vivid inquiring twinkle in her eyes; feeble too, for she had a silver-headed cane beside her chair, and even with that assistance seldom moved across the room when she could help it. Feeble in body, but alert in mind, ready to read anything, to hear anything, to deliver her opinions freely; resting in her big chair in the complete repose of age, gratified with her son's attentions, and over-joyed in his company; interested about everything, and as ready to enter into all the domestic concerns of the new people as if she had lived all her life among them. The Rector sighed and smiled as he listened to his mother's questions, and did his best, at the top of his voice, to enlighten her. His mother was, let us say, a hundred years or so younger than the Rector. If she had been his bride, and at the blithe commencement of life, she could not have shown more inclination to know all about Carlingford. Mr Proctor was middle-aged, and preoccupied by right of his years; but his mother had long ago got over that stage of life. She was at that point when some energetic natures, having got to the bottom of the hill, seem to make a fresh start and reascend. Five years ago, old Mrs Proctor had completed the human term; now she had recommenced her life. But, to tell the very truth, the Rector would very fain, had that been possible, have confined her inquiries to books and public affairs. For to make confidential disclosures, either concerning one's self or other people, in a tone of voice perfectly audible in the kitchen, is somewhat trying. He had become acquainted with those dread parishioners of his during this interval. Already they had worn him to death with dinner-parties—dinner-parties very pleasant and friendly, when one got used to them; but to a stranger frightful reproductions of each other, with the same dishes, the same dresses, the same stories, in which the Rector communicated gravely with his next neighbour, and eluded as long as he could those concluding moments in the drawing-room which were worst of all. It cannot be said that his parishioners made much progress in their knowledge of the Rector. What his "views" were, nobody could divine any more than they could before his arrival. He made no innovations whatever; but he did not pursue Mr Bury's Evangelical ways, and never preached a sermon or a word more than was absolutely necessary. When zealous Churchmen discussed the progress of Dissent, the Rector scarcely looked interested; and nobody could move him to express an opinion concerning all that lovely upholstery with which Mr Wentworth had decorated St Roque's. People asked in vain, what was he? He was neither High nor Low, enlightened nor narrow-minded; he was a Fellow of All-Souls. "But now tell me, my dear," said old Mrs Proctor, "who's Mr Wodehouse?" With despairing calmness, the Rector approached his voice to her ear. "He's a churchwarden!" cried the unfortunate man, in a shrill whisper. "He's what?—you forget I don't hear very well. I'm a great deal deafer, Morley, my dear, than I was the last time you were in Devonshire. What did you say Mr Wodehouse was?" "He's an ass!" exclaimed the baited Rector. Mrs Proctor nodded her head with a great many little satisfied assenting nods. "Exactly my own opinion, my dear. What I like in your manner of expressing yourself, Morley, is its conciseness," said the laughing old lady. "Just so—exactly what I imagined; but being an ass, you know, doesn't account for him coming here so often. What is he besides, my dear?" The Rector made spasmodic gestures towards the door, to the great amusement of his lively mother; and then produced, with much confusion and after a long search, his pocketbook, on a leaf of paper in which he wrote—loudly, in big characters—"He's a churchwarden—they'll hear in the kitchen." "He's a churchwarden! And what if they do hear in the kitchen?" cried the old lady, greatly amused; "it isn't a sin. Well, now, let me hear: has he a family, Morley?" Again Mr Proctor showed a little discomposure. After a troubled look at the door, and pause, as if he meditated a remonstrance, he changed his mind, and answered, "Two daughters!" shouting sepulchrally into his mother's ear. "Oh so!" cried the old lady—"''two daughters''—so, so—that explains it all at once. I know now why he comes to the Rectory so often. And, I declare, I never thought of it before. Why, you're always there!—so, so—and he's got ''two daughters'', has he? To be sure; now I understand it all." The Rector looked helpless and puzzled. It was difficult to take the initiative and ask why—but the poor man looked so perplexed and ignorant, and so clearly unaware what the solution was, that the old lady burst into shrill, gay laughter as she looked at him. "I don't believe you know anything about it," she said. "Are they old or young? are they pretty or ugly? Tell me all about them, Morley." Now Mr Proctor had not the excuse of having forgotten the appearance of the two Miss Wodehouses: on the contrary, though not an imaginative man, he could have fancied he saw them both before him—Lucy lost in noiseless laughter, and her good elder sister deprecating and gentle as usual. We will not even undertake to say that a gleam of something blue did not flash across the mind of the good man, who did not know what ribbons were. He was so much bewildered that Mrs Proctor repeated her question, and, as she did so, tapped him pretty smartly on the arm to recall his wandering thoughts. "One's one thing," at last shouted the confused man, "and t'other's another!" An oracular deliverance which surely must have been entirely unintelligible in the kitchen, where we will not deny that an utterance so incomprehensible awoke a laudable curiosity. "My dear, you're lucid!" cried the old lady, "I hope you don't preach like that. T'other's another!—is she so? and I suppose that's the one you're wanted to marry—eh? For shame, Morley, not to tell your mother!" The Rector jumped to his feet, thunderstruck. Wanted to marry!—the idea was too overwhelming and dreadful—his mind could not receive it. The air of alarm which immediately diffused itself all over him—his unfeigned horror at the suggestion—captivated his mother. She was amused, but she was pleased at the same time. Just making her cheery outset on this second lifetime, you can't suppose she would have been glad to hear that her son was going to jilt her, and appoint another queen in her stead. "Sit down and tell me about them," said Mrs Proctor; "my dear, you're wonderfully afraid of the servants hearing. They don't know who we're speaking of. Aha! and so you didn't know what they meant—didn't you? I don't say you shouldn't marry, my dear—quite the reverse. A man ''ought'' to marry, one time or another. Only it's rather soon to lay their plans. I don't doubt there's a great many unmarried ladies in your church, Morley. There always is in a country place." To this the alarmed Rector answered only by a groan—a groan so expressive that his quick-witted mother heard it with her eyes. "They will come to call on me," said Mrs Proctor, with fun dancing in her bright old eyes. "I'll tell you all about them, and you needn't be afraid of the servants. Trust to me, my dear—I'll find them out. And now, if you wish to take a walk, or go out visiting, don't let me detain you, Morley. I shouldn't wonder but there's something in the papers I would like to see—or I even might close my eyes for a few minutes: the afternoon is always a drowsy time with me. When I was in Devonshire, you know, no one minded what I did. You had better refresh yourself with a nice walk, my dear boy." The Rector got up well pleased. The alacrity with which he left the room, however, did not correspond with the horror-stricken and helpless expression of his face, when, after walking very smartly all round the Rectory garden, he paused with his hand on the gate, doubtful whether to retreat into his study, or boldly to face that world which was plotting against him. The question was a profoundly serious one to Mr Proctor. He did not feel by any means sure that he was a free agent, or could assert the ordinary rights of an Englishman, in this most unexpected dilemma. How could he tell how much or how little was necessary to prove that a man had "committed himself"? For anything he could tell, somebody might be calculating upon him as her lover, and settling his future life for him. The Rector was not vain—he did not think himself an Adonis; he did not understand anything about the matter, which indeed was beneath the consideration of a Fellow of All-Souls. But have not women been incomprehensible since ever there was in this world a pen with sufficient command of words to call them so? And is it not certain that, whether it may be to their advantage or disadvantage, every soul of them is plotting to marry somebody? Mr Proctor recalled in dim but frightful reminiscences stories which had dropped upon his ear at various times of his life. Never was there a man, however ugly, disagreeable, or penniless, but he could tell of a narrow escape he had, some time or other. The Rector recollected and trembled. No woman was ever so dismayed by the persecutions of a lover, as was this helpless middle-aged gentleman under the conviction that Lucy Wodehouse meant to marry him. The remembrance of the curate of St Roque's gave him no comfort: her sweet youth, so totally unlike his sober age, did not strike him as unfavourable to her pursuit of him. Who could fathom the motives of a woman? His mother was wise, and knew the world, and understood what such creatures meant. No doubt it was entirely the case—a dreadful certainty—and what was he to do? At the bottom of all this fright and perplexity must it be owned that the Rector had a guilty consciousness within himself, that if Lucy drove the matter to extremities, he was not so sure of his own powers of resistance as he ought to be? She might marry him before he knew what he was about; and in such a case the Rector could not have taken his oath at his own private confessional that he would have been so deeply miserable as the circumstances might infer. No wonder he was alarmed at the position in which he found himself; nobody could predict how it might end. When Mr Proctor saw his mother again at dinner, she was evidently full of some subject which would not bear talking of before the servants. The old lady looked at her son's troubled apprehensive face with smiles and nods and gay hints, which he was much too preoccupied to understand, and which only increased his bewilderment. When the good man was left alone over his glass of wine, he drank it slowly, in funereal silence, with profoundly serious looks; and what between eagerness to understand what the old lady meant, and reluctance to show the extent of his curiosity, had a very heavy half-hour of it in that grave solitary dining-room. He roused himself with an effort from this dismal state into which he was falling. He recalled with a sigh the classic board of All-Souls. Woe for the day when he was seduced to forsake that dear retirement! Really, to suffer himself to fall into a condition so melancholy, was far from being right. He must rouse himself—he must find some other society than parishioners; and with a glimpse of a series of snug little dinner-parties, undisturbed by the presence of women, Mr Proctor rose and hurried after his mother, to hear what new thing she might have to say. Nor was he disappointed. The old lady was snugly posted, ready for a conference. She made lively gestures to hasten him when he appeared at the door, and could scarcely delay the utterance of her news till he had taken his seat beside her. She had taken off her spectacles, and laid aside her paper, and cleared off her work into her work-basket. All was ready for the talk in which she delighted. "My dear, they've been here," said old Mrs Proctor, rubbing her hands—"both together, and as kind as could be—exactly as I expected. An old woman gets double the attention when she's got an unmarried son. I've always observed that; though in Devonshire, what with your fellowship and seeing you so seldom, nobody took much notice. Yes, they've been here; and I like them a great deal better than I expected, Morley, my dear." The Rector, not knowing what else to say, shouted "Indeed, mother!" into the old lady's ear. "Quite so," continued that lively observer—"nice young women—not at all like their father, which is a great consolation. That elder one is a very sensible person, I am sure. She would make a nice wife for somebody, especially for a clergyman. She is not in her first youth, but neither are some other people. A very nice creature indeed, I am quite sure." During all this speech the Rector's countenance had been falling, falling. If he was helpless before, the utter woe of his expression now was a spectacle to behold. The danger of being married by proxy was appalling certainly, yet was not entirely without alleviations; but Miss Wodehouse! who ever thought of Miss Wodehouse? To see the last remains of colour fade out of his cheek, and his very lip fall with disappointment, was deeply edifying to his lively old mother. She perceived it all, but made no sign. "And the other is a pretty creature—certainly pretty: shouldn't you say she was pretty, Morley?" said his heartless mother. Mr Proctor hesitated, hemmed—felt himself growing red—tried to intimate his sentiments by a nod of assent; but that would not do, for the old lady had presented her ear to him, and was blind to all his gestures. "I don't know much about it, mother," he made answer at last. "''Much'' about it! it's to be hoped not. I never supposed you did; but you don't mean to say you don't think her pretty?" said Mrs Proctor—"but, I don't doubt in the least, a sad flirt. Her sister is a very superior person, my dear." The Rector's face lengthened at every word—a vision of these two Miss Wodehouses rose upon him every moment clearer and more distinct as his mother spoke. Considering how ignorant he was of all such female paraphernalia, it is extraordinary how correct his recollection was of all the details of their habitual dress and appearance. With a certain dreadful consciousness of the justice of what his mother said, he saw in imagination the mild elder sister in her comely old-maidenhood. Nobody could doubt her good qualities, and could it be questioned that for a man of fifty, if he was to do anything so foolish, a woman not quite forty was a thousand times more eligible than a creature in blue ribbons? Still the unfortunate Rector did not seem to see it: his face grew longer and longer—he made no answer whatever to his mother's address; while she, with a spice of natural female malice against the common enemy triumphing for the moment over the mother's admiration of her son, sat wickedly enjoying his distress, and aggravating it. His dismay and perplexity amused this wicked old woman beyond measure. "I have no doubt that younger girl takes a pleasure in deluding her admirers," said Mrs Proctor; "she's a wicked little flirt, and likes nothing better than to see her power. I know very well how such people do; but, my dear," continued this false old lady, scarcely able to restrain her laughter, "if I were you, I would be very civil to Miss Wodehouse. You may depend upon it, Morley, that's a very superior person. She is not very young, to be sure, but you are not very young yourself. She would make a nice wife—not too foolish, you know, nor fanciful. Ah! I like Miss Wodehouse, my dear." The Rector stumbled up to his feet hastily, and pointed to a table at a little distance, on which some books were lying. Then he went and brought them to her table. "I've brought you some new books," he shouted into her ear. It was the only way his clumsy ingenuity could fall upon for bringing this most distasteful conversation to an end. The old lady's eyes were dancing with fun and a little mischief, but, notwithstanding, she could not be so false to her nature as to show no interest in the books. She turned them over with lively remarks and comment. "But for all that, Morley, I would not have you forget Miss Wodehouse," she said, when her early bedtime came. "Give it a thought now and then, and consider the whole matter. It is not a thing to be done rashly; but still you know you are settled now, and you ought to be thinking of settling for life." With this parting shaft she left him. The troubled Rector, instead of sitting up to his beloved studies, went early to bed that night, and was pursued by nightmares through his unquiet slumbers. Settling for life! Alas! there floated before him vain visions of that halcyon world he had left—that sacred soil at All-Souls, where there were no parishioners to break the sweet repose. How different was this discomposing real world! {{dhr}} {{anchor|III}}{{heading|CHAPTER III.|3|c|normal|mb05}} {{sc|Matters}} went on quietly for some time without any catastrophe occurring to the Rector. He had shut himself up from all society, and declined the invitations of the parishioners for ten long days at least; but finding that the kind people were only kinder than ever when they understood he was "indisposed," poor Mr Proctor resumed his ordinary life, confiding timidly in some extra precautions which his own ingenuity had invented. He was shyer than ever of addressing the ladies in those parties he was obliged to attend. He was especially embarrassed and uncomfortable in the presence of the two Miss Wodehouses, who, unfortunately, were very popular in Carlingford, and whom he could not help meeting everywhere. Notwithstanding this embarrassment, it is curious how well he knew how they looked, and what they were doing, and all about them. Though he could not for his life have told what these things were called, he knew Miss Wodehouse's dove-coloured dress and her French grey; and all those gleams of blue which set off Lucy's fair curls, and floated about her pretty person under various pretences, had a distinct though inarticulate place in the good man's confused remembrance. But neither Lucy nor Miss Wodehouse had brought matters to extremity. He even ventured to go to their house occasionally without any harm coming of it, and lingered in that blooming fragrant garden, where the blossoms had given place to fruit, and ruddy apples hung heavy on the branches which had once scattered their petals, rosy-white, on Frank Wentworth's Anglican coat. Yet Mr Proctor was not lulled into incaution by this seeming calm. Other people besides his mother had intimated to him that there were expectations current of his "settling in life." He lived not in false security, but wise trembling, never knowing what hour the thunderbolt might fall upon his head. It happened one day, while still in this condition of mind, that the Rector was passing through Grove Street on his way home. He was walking on the humbler side of the street, where there is a row of cottages with little gardens in front of them—cheap houses, which are contented to be haughtily overlooked by the staircase windows and blank walls of their richer neighbours on the other side of the road. The Rector thought, but could not be sure, that he had seen two figures like those of the Miss Wodehouses going into one of these houses, and was making a little haste to escape meeting those enemies of his peace. But as he wont hastily on, he heard sobs and screams—sounds which a man who hid a good heart under a shy exterior could not willingly pass by. He made a troubled pause before the door from which these outcries proceeded, and while he stood thus irresolute whether to pass on or to stop and inquire the cause, some one came rushing out and took hold of his arm. "Please, sir, she's dying—oh, please, sir, she thought a deal o' you. Please, will you come in and speak to her?" cried the little servant-girl who had pounced upon him so. The Rector stared at her in amazement. He had not his prayer-book—he was not prepared; he had no idea of being called upon in such an emergency. In the mean time the commotion rather increased in the house, and he could hear in the distance a voice adjuring some one to go for the clergyman. The Rector stood uncertain and perplexed, perhaps in a more serious personal difficulty than had ever happened to him all his life before. For what did he know about deathbeds? or what had he to say to any one on that dread verge? He grew pale with real vexation and distress. "Have they gone for a doctor? that would be more to the purpose," he said, unconsciously, aloud. "Please, sir, it's no good," said the little maid-servant. "Please, the doctor's been, but he's no good—and she's unhappy in her mind, though she's quite resigned to go: and oh, please, if you would say a word to her, it might do her a deal of good." Thus adjured, the Rector had no choice. He went gloomily into the house and up the stair after his little guide. Why did not they send for the minister of Salem Chapel close by? or for Mr Wentworth, who was accustomed to that sort of thing? Why did they resort to him in such an emergency? He would have made his appearance before the highest magnates of the land—before the Queen herself—before the bench of bishops or the Privy Council—with less trepidation than he entered that poor little room. The sufferer lay breathing heavily in the poor apartment. She did not look very ill to Mr Proctor's inexperienced eyes. Her colour was bright, and her face full of eagerness. Near the door stood Miss Wodehouse, looking compassionate but helpless, casting wistful glances at the bed, but standing back in a corner as confused and embarrassed as the Rector himself. Lucy was standing by the pillow of the sick woman with a watchful readiness visible to the most unskilled eye—ready to raise her, to change her position, to attend to her wants almost before they were expressed. The contrast was wonderful. She had thrown off her bonnet and shawl, and appeared, not like a stranger, but somehow in her natural place, despite the sweet youthful beauty of her looks, and the gay girlish dress with its floating ribbons. These singular adjuncts notwithstanding, no homely nurse in a cotton gown could have looked more alert or serviceable, or more natural to the position, than Lucy did. The poor Rector, taking the seat which the little maid placed for him directly in the centre of the room, looked at the nurse and the patient with a gasp of perplexity and embarrassment. A deathbed, alas! was an unknown region to him. "Oh, sir, I'm obliged to you for coming—oh, sir, I'm grateful to you," cried the poor woman in the bed. "I've been ill, off and on, for years, but never took thought to it as I ought. I've put off and put off, waiting for a better time—and now, God help me, it's perhaps too late. Oh, sir, tell me, when a person's ill and dying, is it too late?" Before the Rector could even imagine what he could answer, the sick woman took up the broken thread of her own words, and continued— "I don't feel to trust as I ought to—I don't feel no confidence," she said, in anxious confession. "Oh, sir, do you think it matters if one feels it?—don't you think things might be right all the same though we ''were'' uneasy in our minds? My thinking can't change it one way or another. Ask the good gentleman to speak to me, Miss Lucy, dear—he'll mind what you say." A look from Lucy quickened the Rector's speech, but increased his embarrassments. "It—it isn't her doctor she has no confidence in?" he said, eagerly. The poor woman gave a little cry. "The doctor—the doctor! what can he do to a poor dying creature? Oh, Lord bless you, it's none of them things I'm thinking of; it's my soul—my soul!" "But my poor good woman," said Mr Proctor, "though it is very good and praiseworthy of you to be anxious about your soul, let us hope that there is no such—no such ''haste'' as you seem to suppose." The patient opened her eyes wide, and stared, with the anxious look of disease, in his face. "I mean," said the good man, faltering under that gaze, "that I see no reason for your making yourself so very anxious. Let us hope it is not so bad as that. You are very ill, but not ''so'' ill—I suppose." Here the Rector was interrupted by a groan from the patient, and by a troubled, disapproving, disappointed look from Lucy Wodehouse. This brought him to a sudden standstill. He gazed for a moment helplessly at the poor woman in the bed. If he had known anything in the world which would have given her consolation, he was ready to have made any exertion for it; but he knew nothing to say—no medicine for a mind diseased was in his repositories. He was deeply distressed to see the disappointment which followed his words, but his distress only made him more silent, more helpless, more inefficient than before. After an interval which was disturbed only by the groans of the patient and the uneasy fidgeting of good Miss Wodehouse in her corner, the Rector again broke silence. The sick woman had turned to the wall, and closed her eyes in dismay and disappointment—evidently she had ceased to expect anything from him. "If there is anything I can do," said poor Mr Proctor, "I am afraid I have spoken hastily. I meant to try to calm her mind a little; if I can be of any use?" "Ah, maybe I'm hasty," said the dying woman, turning round again with a sudden effort—"but, oh, to speak to me of having time when I've one foot in the grave already!" "Not so bad as that—not so bad as that," said the Rector, soothingly. "But I tell you it is as bad as that," she cried, with the brief blaze of anger common to great weakness. "I'm not a child to be persuaded different from what I know. If you'd tell me—if you'd say a prayer—ah, Miss Lucy, it's coming on again." In a moment Lucy had raised the poor creature in her arms, and in default of the pillows which were not at hand, had risen herself into their place, and supported the gasping woman against her own breast. It was a paroxysm dreadful to behold, in which every labouring breath seemed the last. The Rector sat like one struck dumb, looking on at that mortal struggle. Miss Wodehouse approached nervously from behind, and went up to the bedside, faltering forth questions as to what she could do. Lucy only waved her hand, as her own light figure swayed and changed, always seeking the easiest attitude for the sufferer. As the elder sister drew back, the Rector and she glanced at each other with wistful mutual looks of sympathy. Both were equally well-disposed, equally helpless and embarrassed. How to be of any use in that dreadful agony of nature was denied to both. They stood looking on, awed and self-reproaching. Such scenes have doubtless happened in sick-rooms before now. When the fit was over, a hasty step came up the stair, and Mr Wentworth entered the room. He explained in a whisper that he had not been at home when the messenger came, but had followed whenever he heard of the message. Seeing the Rector, he hesitated, and drew back with some surprise, and, even (for he was far from perfect) in that chamber, a little flush of offence. The Rector rose abruptly, waving his hand, and went to join Miss Wodehouse in her corner. There the two elderly spectators looked on silent at ministrations of which both were incapable; one watching with wondering yet affectionate envy how Lucy laid down the weakened but relieved patient upon her pillows; and one beholding with a surprise he could not conceal, how a young man, not half his own age, went softly, with all the confidence yet awe of nature, into those mysteries which he dared not touch upon. The two young creatures by the deathbed acknowledged that their patient was dying; the woman stood by her watchful and affectionate—the man held up before her that cross, not of wood or metal, but of truth and everlasting verity, which is the only hope of man. The spectators looked on, and did not interrupt—looked on, awed and wondering—unaware of how it was, but watching, as if it were a miracle wrought before their eyes. Perhaps all the years of his life had not taught the Rector so much as did that half-hour in an unknown poor bed-chamber, where, honest and humble, he stood aside, and, kneeling down, responded to his young brother's prayer. His young brother—young enough to have been his son—not half nor a quarter part so learned as he; but a world further on in that profession which they shared—the art of winning souls. When those prayers were over, the Rector, without a word to anybody, stole quietly away. When he got into the street, however, he found himself closely followed by Miss Wodehouse, of whom he was not at this moment afraid. That good creature was crying softly under her veil. She was eager to make up to him, to open out her full heart; and indeed the Rector, like herself, in that wonderful sensation of surprised and unenvying discomfiture, was glad at that moment of sympathy too. "Oh, Mr Proctor, isn't it wonderful?" sighed good Miss Wodehouse. The Rector did not speak, but he answered by a very emphatic nod of his head. "It did not use to be so when you and I were young," said his companion in failure. "I sometimes take a little comfort from that; but no doubt, if it had been in me, it would have shown itself somehow. Ah, I fear, I fear, I was not well brought up; but, to be sure, that dear child has not been brought up at all, if one may say so. Her poor mother died when she was born. And oh, I'm afraid I never was kind to Lucy's mother, Mr Proctor. You know she was only a year or two older than I was; and to think of that child, that baby! What a world she is, and always was, before me, that might have been her mother, Mr Proctor!" said Miss Wodehouse, with a little sob. "But things were different in our young days," said the Rector, repeating her sentiment, without inquiring whether it were true or not, and finding a certain vague consolation in it. "Ah, that is true," said Miss Wodehouse—"that is true; what a blessing things are so changed; and these blessed young creatures," she added softly, with tears falling out of her gentle old eyes—"these blessed young creatures are near the Fountain-head." With this speech Miss Wodehouse held out her hand to the Rector, and they parted with a warm mutual grasp. The Rector went straight home—straight to his study, where he shut himself in, and was not to be disturbed; that night was one long to be remembered in the good man's history. For the first time in his life he set himself to inquire what was his supposed business in this world. His treatise on the Greek verb, and his new edition of Sophocles, were highly creditable to the Fellow of All-Souls; but how about the Rector of Carlingford? What was he doing here, among that little world of human creatures who were dying, being born, perishing, suffering, falling into misfortune and anguish, and all manner of human vicissitudes, every day? Young Wentworth knew what to say to that woman in her distress; and so might the Rector, had her distress concerned a disputed translation, or a disused idiom. The good man was startled in his composure and calm. To-day he had visibly failed in a duty which even in All-Souls was certainly known to be one of the duties of a Christian priest. Was he a Christian priest, or what was he? He was troubled to the very depths of his soul. To hold an office the duties of which he could not perform, was clearly impossible. The only question, and that a hard one, was, whether he could learn to discharge those duties, or whether he must cease to be Rector of Carlingford. He laboured over this problem in his solitude, and could find no answer. "Things were different when we were young," was the only thought that was any comfort to him, and that was poor consolation. For one thing, it is hard upon the most magnanimous of men to confess that he has undertaken an office for which he has not found himself capable. Magnanimity was perhaps too lofty a word to apply to the Rector; but he was honest to the bottom of his soul. As soon as he became aware of what was included in the duties of his office, he must perform them, or quit his post. But how to perform them? Can one ''learn'' to convey consolation to the dying, to teach the ignorant, to comfort the sorrowful? Are these matters to be acquired by study, like Greek verbs or intricate measures? The Rector's heart said No. The Rector's imagination unfolded before him, in all its halcyon blessedness, that ancient paradise of All-Souls, where no such confounding demands ever disturbed his beatitude. The good man groaned within himself over the mortification, the labour, the sorrow, which this living was bringing upon him. "If I had but let it pass to Morgan, who wanted to marry," he said with self-reproach; and then suddenly bethought himself of his own most innocent filial romance, and the pleasure his mother had taken in her new house and new beginning of life. At that touch the tide flowed back again. Could he dismiss her now to another solitary cottage in Devonshire, her old home there being all dispersed and broken up, while the house she had hoped to die in cast her out from its long-hoped-for shelter? The Rector was quite overwhelmed by this new aggravation. If by any effort of his own, any sacrifice to himself, he could preserve this bright new home to his mother, would he shrink from that labour of love? Nobody, however, knew anything about those conflicting thoughts which rent his sober bosom. He preached next Sunday as usual, letting no trace of the distressed, wistful anxiety to do his duty which now possessed him gleam into his sermon. He looked down upon a crowd of unsympathetic, uninterested faces, when he delivered that smooth little sermon, which nobody cared much about, and which disturbed nobody. The only eyes which in the smallest degree comprehended him were those of good Miss Wodehouse, who had been the witness and the participator of his humiliation. Lucy was not there. Doubtless Lucy was at St Roque's, where the sermons of the perpetual curate differed much from those of the Rector of Carlingford. Ah me! the rectorship, with all its responsibilities, was a serious business; and what was to become of it yet, Mr Proctor could not see. He was not a hasty man—he determined to wait and see what events might make of it; to consider it ripely—to take full counsel with himself. Every time he came out of his mother's presence, he came affected and full of anxiety to preserve to her that home which pleased her so much. She was the strong point in favour of Carlingford; and it was no small tribute to the good man's filial affection, that for her chiefly he kept his neck under the yoke of a service to which he knew himself unequal, and, sighing, turned his back upon his beloved cloisters. If there had been no other sick-beds immediately in Carlingford, Mrs Proctor would have won the day. {{dhr}} {{anchor|IV}}{{heading|CHAPTER IV.|3|c|normal|mb05}} {{sc|Such}} a blessed exemption, however, was not to be hoped for. When the Rector was solemnly sent for from his very study to visit a poor man who was not expected to live many days, he put his prayer-book under his arm, and went off doggedly, feeling that now was the crisis. He went through it in as exemplary a manner as could have been desired, but it was dreadful work to the Rector. If nobody else suspected him, he suspected himself. He had no spontaneous word of encouragement or consolation to offer; he went through it as his duty with a horrible abstractness. That night he went home disgusted beyond all possible power of self-reconciliation. He could not continue this. Good evangelical Mr Bury, who went before him, and by nature loved preaching, had accustomed the people to much of such visitations. It was murder to the Fellow of All-Souls. That night Mr Proctor wrote a long letter to his dear cheery old mother, disclosing all his heart to her. It was written with a pathos of which the good man was wholly unconscious, and finished by asking her advice and her prayers. He sent it up to her next morning on her breakfast tray, which he always furnished with his own hands, and went out to occupy himself in paying visits till it should be time to see her, and ascertain her opinion. At Mr Wodehouse's there was nobody at home but Lucy, who was very friendly, and took no notice of that sad encounter which had changed his views so entirely. The Rector found, on inquiry, that the woman was dead, but not until Mr Wentworth had administered to her fully the consolations of the church. Lucy did not look superior, or say anything in admiration of Mr Wentworth, but the Rector's conscience supplied all that was wanting. If good Miss Wodehouse had been there with her charitable looks, and her disefficiency so like his own, it would have been a consolation to the good man. He would have turned joyfully from Lucy and her blue ribbons to that distressed dove-coloured woman, so greatly had recent events changed him. But the truth was, he cared nothing for either of them nowadays. He was delivered from those whimsical distressing fears. Something more serious had obliterated those lighter apprehensions. He had no leisure now to think that somebody had planned to marry him; all his thoughts were fixed on matters so much more important that this was entirely forgotten. Mrs Proctor was seated as usual in the place she loved, with her newspapers, her books, her work-basket, and silver-headed cane at the side of her chair. The old lady, like her son, looked serious. She beckoned him to quicken his steps when she saw him appear at the drawing-room door, and pointed to the chair placed beside her, all ready for this solemn conference. He came in with a troubled face, scarcely venturing to look at her, afraid to see the disappointment which he had brought upon his dearest friend. The old lady divined why it was he did not lift his eyes. She took his hand and addressed him with all her characteristic vivacity. "Morley, what is this you mean, my dear? When did I ever give my son reason to distrust me? Do you think I would suffer you to continue in a position painful to yourself for my sake? How dare you think such a thing of me, Morley? Don't say so; you didn't mean it? I can see it in your eyes." The Rector shook his head, and dropped into the chair placed ready for him. He might have had a great deal to say for himself could she have heard him. But as it was, he could not shout all his reasons and apologies into her deaf ear. "As for the change to me," said the old lady, instinctively seizing upon the heart of the difficulty, "that's nothing—simply nothing. I've not had time to get attached to Carlingford. I've no associations with the place. Of course I shall be very glad to go back to all my old friends. Put that out of the question, Morley." But the Rector only shook his head once more. The more she made light of it, the more he perceived all the painful circumstances involved. Could his mother go back to Devonshire and tell all her old ladies that her son had made a failure in Carlingford? He grieved within himself at the thought. His brethren at All-Souls might understand ''him;'' but what could console the brave old woman for all the condolence and commiseration to which she would be subject? "It goes to my heart, mother," he cried in her ear. "Well, Morley, I am very sorry you find it so," said the old lady; "very sorry you can't see your way to all your duties. They tell me the late rector was very Low Church, and visited about like a Dissenter, so it is not much wonder you, with your different habits, find yourself a good deal put out; but, my dear, don't you think it's only at first? Don't you think after a while the people would get into your ways, and you into theirs? Miss Wodehouse was here this morning, and was telling me a good deal about the late rector. It's to be expected you should find the difference; but by-and-by, to be sure, you might get used to it, and the people would not expect so much." "Did she tell you where we met the other day?" asked the Rector, with a brevity rendered necessary by Mrs Proctor's infirmity. "She told me—she's a dear confused good soul," said the old lady—"about the difference between Lucy and herself, and how the young creature was twenty times handier than she, and something about young Mr Wentworth of St Roque's. Really, by all I hear, that must be a very presuming young man," cried Mrs Proctor, with a lively air of offence. "His interference among your parishioners, Morley, is really more than I should be inclined to bear." Once more the good Rector shook his head. He had not thought of that aspect of the subject. He was indeed so free from vanity or self-importance, that his only feeling in regard to the sudden appearance of the perpetual curate was respect and surprise. He would not be convinced otherwise even now. "He can do his duty, mother," he answered, sadly. "Stuff and nonsense!" cried the old lady. "Do you mean to tell me a boy like that can do his duty better than my son could do it, if he put his mind to it? And if it is your duty, Morley, dear," continued his mother, melting a little, and in a coaxing persuasive tone, "of course I know you ''will'' do it, however hard it may be." "That's just the difficulty," cried the Rector, venturing on a longer speech than usual, and roused to a point at which he had no fear of the listeners in the kitchen; "such duties require other training than mine has been. I can't!—do you hear me, mother?—I must not hold a false position; that's impossible." "You shan't hold a false position," cried the old lady; "that's the only thing that is impossible—but, Morley, let us consider, dear. You are a clergyman, you know; you ought to understand all that's required of you a great deal better than these people do. My dear, your poor father and I trained you up to be a clergyman," said Mrs Proctor, rather pathetically, "and not to be a Fellow of All-Souls." The Rector groaned. Had it not been advancement, progress, unhoped-for good fortune, that made him a member of that learned corporation? He shook his head. Nothing could change the fact now. After fifteen years' experience of that Elysium, he could not put on the cassock and surplice with all his youthful fervour. He had settled into his life-habits long ago. With the quick perception which made up for her deficiency, his mother read his face, and saw the cause was hopeless; yet with female courage and pertinacity made one effort more. "And with an excellent hard-working curate," said the old lady—"a curate whom, of course, we'd do our duty by, Morley, and who could take a great deal of the responsibility off your hands; for Mr Leigh, though a nice young man, is not, I know, the man ''you'' would have chosen for such a post; and still more, my dear son—we were talking of it in jest not long ago, but it is perfect earnest, and a most important matter—with a good wife, Morley; a wife who would enter into all the parish work, and give you useful hints, and conduct herself as a clergyman's wife should—with such a wife{{bar|2}}" "Lucy Wodehouse!" cried the Rector, starting to his feet, and forgetting all his proprieties; "I tell you the thing is impossible. I'll go back to All-Souls." He sat down again doggedly, having said it. His mother sat looking at him in silence, with tears in her lively old eyes. She was saying within herself that she had seen his father take just such a "turn," and that it was no use arguing with them under such circumstances. She watched him as women often do watch men, waiting till the creature should come to itself again and might be spoken to. The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! What he will make of it in those unassisted moments, afflicts the compassionate female understanding. It is best to let him come to, and feel his own helplessness. Such was Mrs Proctor's conclusion, as, vexed, distressed, and helpless, she leant back in her chair, and wiped a few tears of disappointment and vexation out of her bright old eyes. The Rector saw this movement, and it once more excited him to speech. "But you shall have a house in Oxford, mother," he cried—"you shan't go back to Devonshire—where I can see you every day, and you can hear all that is going on. Bravo! that will be a thousand times better than Carlingford." It was now Mrs Proctor's turn to jump up, startled, and put her hand on his mouth and point to the door. The Rector did not care for the door; he had disclosed his sentiments, he had taken his resolution, and now the sooner all was over the better for the emancipated man. Thus concluded the brief incumbency of the Reverend Morley Proctor. He returned to Oxford before his year of grace was over, and found everybody very glad to see him; and he left Carlingford with universal good wishes. The living fell to Morgan, who wanted to be married, and whose turn was much more to be a working clergyman than a classical commentator. Old Mrs Proctor got a pretty house under shelter of the trees of St Giles's, and half the under-graduates fell in love with the old lady in the freshness of her second lifetime. Carlingford passed away like a dream from the lively old mother's memory, and how could any reminiscences of that uncongenial locality disturb the recovered beatitude of the Fellow of All-Souls? Yet all was not so satisfactory as it appeared. Mr Proctor paid for his temporary absence. All-Souls was not the Elysium it had been before that brief disastrous voyage into the world. The good man felt the stings of failure; he felt the mild jokes of his brethren in those Elysian fields. He could not help conjuring up to himself visions of Morgan with his new wife in that pretty rectory. Life, after all, did not consist of books, nor were Greek verbs essential to happiness. The strong emotion into which his own failure had roused him; the wondering silence in which he stood looking at the ministrations of Lucy Wodehouse and the young curate; the tearful sympathetic woman as helpless as himself, who had stood beside him in that sick chamber, came back upon his recollection strangely, amidst the repose, not so blessed as heretofore, of All-Souls. The good man had found out that secret of discontent which most men find out a great deal earlier than he. Something better, though it might be sadder, harder, more calamitous, was in this world. Was there ever human creature yet that had not something in him more congenial to the thorns and briars outside to be conquered, than to that mild paradise for which our primeval mother disqualified all her children? When he went back to his dear cloisters, good Mr Proctor felt that sting: a longing for the work he had rejected stirred in him—a wistful recollection of the sympathy he had not sought. And if in future years any traveller, if travellers still fall upon adventures, should light upon a remote parsonage in which an elderly embarrassed Rector, with a mild wife in dove-coloured dresses, toils painfully after his duty, more and more giving his heart to it, more and more finding difficult expression for the unused faculty, let him be sure that it is the late Rector of Carlingford, self-expelled out of the uneasy paradise, setting forth untimely, yet not too late, into the laborious world.

In these excursions he was usually accompanied by an old negro, called Jupiter, who had been manumitted before the reverses of the family, but who could be induced, neither by threats nor by promises, to abandon what he considered his right of attendance upon the footsteps of his young “Massa Will.” It is not improbable that the relatives of Legrand, conceiving him to be somewhat unsettled in intellect, had contrived to instil this obstinacy into Jupiter, with a view to the supervision and guardianship of the wanderer. The winters in the latitude of Sullivan’s Island are seldom very severe, and in the fall of the year it is a rare event indeed when a fire is considered necessary. About the middle of October, 18—, there occurred, however, a day of remarkable chilliness. Just before sunset I scrambled my way through the evergreens to the hut of my friend, whom I had not visited for several weeks—my residence being, at that time, in Charleston, a distance of nine miles from the island, while the facilities of passage and re-passage were very far behind those of the present day. Upon reaching the hut I rapped, as was my custom, and getting no reply, sought for the key where I knew it was secreted, unlocked the door, and went in. A fine fire was blazing upon the hearth. It was a novelty, and by no means an ungrateful one. I threw off an overcoat, took an arm-chair by the crackling logs, and awaited patiently the arrival of my hosts. Soon after dark they arrived, and gave me a most cordial welcome. Jupiter, grinning from ear to ear, bustled about to prepare some marsh-hen for supper. Legrand was in one of his fits—how else shall I term them?—of enthusiasm. He had found an unknown bivalve, forming a new genus, and, more than this, he had hunted down and secured, with Jupiter's assistance, a ''{{wdl|Q771526|scarabæus}}'' which he believed to be totally new, but in respect to which he wished to have my opinion on the morrow. “And why not to-night?” I asked, rubbing my hands over the blaze, and wishing the whole tribe of scarab at the devil. “Ah, if 1 had only known you were here!” said Legrand, “but it’s so long since I saw you; and how could I foresee that you would pay me a visit this very night of all others? As I was coming home I met Lieutenant G{{bar|3}}, from the fort, and, very foolishly, I lent him the bug; so it will be impossible for you to see it until the morning. Stay here to-night, and I will send Jup down for it at sunrise. It is the loveliest thing in creation!” “What?—sunrise? ” “Nonsense! no!—the bug.

The ''antennæ'' are{{bar|3}}” “Dey ain’t ''no'' tin in him, Massa Will, I keep a tellin’ on you,” here interrupted Jupiter; “de bug is a goole-bug, solid, ebery bit of him, inside and all, sep him wing—neber feel half so hebby a bug in my life.” “Well, suppose it is, Jup,” replied Legrand, somewhat more earnestly, it seemed to me, than the case demanded; “is that any reason for your letting the birds burn? The colour”—here he turned to me—“is really almost enough to warrant Jupiter’s idea. You never saw a more brilliant metallic lustre than the scales emit—but of this you cannot judge till to-morrow. In the meantime I can give you some idea of the shape.” Saying this, he seated himself at a small table, on which were a pen and ink, but no paper. He looked for some in a drawer, but found none. “Never mind,” he said at length, “this will answer’; and he drew from his waistcoat pocket a scrap of what I took to be very dirty foolscap, and made upon it a rough drawing with the pen. While he did this, I retained my seat by the fire, for I was still chilly. When the design was complete, he handed it to me without rising. As I received it, a loud growl was heard, succeeded by scratching at the door. Jupiter opened it, and a large Newfoundland, belonging to Legrand, rushed in, leaped upon my shoulders, and loaded me with caresses; for I had shown him much attention during previous visits. When his gambols were over, I looked at the paper, and, to speak the truth, found myself not a little puzzled at what my friend had depicted. “Well!” I said, after contemplating it for some minutes, “this is a strange ''scarabæus'', I must confess; new to me; never saw anything like it before—unless it was a skull, or a death’s-head, which it more nearly resembles than anything else that has come under my observation.” “A death’s-head!” echoed Legrand. “Oh—yes—well, it has something of that appearance upon paper, no doubt. The two upper black spots look like eyes, eh? and the longer one at the bottom like a mouth—and then the shape of the whole is oval.” “Perhaps so,” said I; “but, Legrand, I fear you are no artist. I must wait until I see the beetle itself, if I am to form any idea of its personal appearance.” “Well, I don’t know,” said he, a little nettled, “I draw tolerably—''should'' do it at least—have had good masters, and flatter myself that I am not quite a blockhead.” “But, my dear fellow, you are joking then,” said I, “this is a very passable ''skull''—indeed, I may say that it is a very ''excellent'' skull, according<noinclude>{{c|132}}</div></noinclude> ly722a4w1sm5p8pbqi7gqyniauk2hx9 The Rector; and, The Doctor's Family/The Doctor's Family 0 4018842 12507074 2022-07-24T19:25:27Z Akme 1561053 draft 1; to be contd wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Mrs. Oliphant | translator = | section = The Doctor's Family | previous = [[../The Rector|The Rector]] | next = [[/Chapter 1/]] | notes = pp. 551–291. }} {{DEFAULTSORT: Doctor's Family}} {{dhr|3}} {{c|{{larger|{{bl|Chronicles of Carlingford}}}}}} {{dhr}} {{Custom rule|sp|20|d|4|sp|20}} {{dhr}} {{c|{{xx-larger|{{sp|THE DOCTOR'S FAMILY}}}} }} [[Category:novels]] n5rx7ygcfa42cl6dmu2m5loj16z80bm Page:MU KPB 015 Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination.pdf/185 104 4018843 12507078 2022-07-24T19:27:08Z RaboKarbakian 2427564 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="RaboKarbakian" />{{rvh2|133|THE GOLD BUG|{{uc|Tales of Mystery and Imagination}}|&nbsp;}}<div class="story"></noinclude>to the vulgar notions about such specimens of physiology—and your ''scarabæus'' must be the queerest ''scarabæus'' in the world if it resembles it.

I made them as distinct as they are in the original insect, and I presume that is sufficient.” “Well, well,” I said, “perhaps you have—still I don’t see them”; and I handed him the paper without additional remark, not wishing to ruffle his temper; but I was much surprised at the turn affairs had taken; his ill-humour puzzled me—and, as for the drawing of the beetle, there were positively ''no antennæ'' visible, and the whole ''did'' bear a very close resemblance to the ordinary cuts of a death’s-head.

Thereupon the baker quickly answered, "Silence, boy, and let thy mother speak!" and left the church. A similar story is told of St. Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux (''Vorzeit, Taschenbuch'', 1819). Once when he was at Spire, he went into the cathedral to pay his devotions to the image of the Virgin. He fell thrice on his knees before it, and full of fervour uttered the words "Oh, gracious, mild, and highly favoured mother of God!" Hereupon the image began to speak, and said, "Welcome, my Bernard!" But the saint, who was displeased by this, reprimanded the Queen of Heaven for speaking, in these words, "Silence! No woman is to speak in the congregation!" The image is still to be seen in the cathedral, and so are the three metal plates which mark the three places where St. Bernard knelt. A saga from Westphalia also belongs to this group. There was once a girl in Sauste (Soest) who every morning, as soon as all the people had gone out of the church, knelt down and prayed to the great stone image of our Lord. The clerk was curious, and went one day and stood behind the image. Then the girl said, {{float center|{{smaller block|"O du graute, leiwe Gott von Sauste,<ref>{{block center|"Oh great and beloved God of Soest,<br> Do give me our man-servant Joseph."}}</ref><br> Bescher mie doch usen Knecht den Jausten (Jost)."}}}} So the clerk said, "Girl, thou wilt not get him." Then the girl said, "Oh, great and beloved God, do not bite me." {{anchor|140}}{{c|140.—{{sc|[[Grimm's Household Tales, Volume 2/Domestic Servants|Domestic Servants]].}}}} From the neighbourhood of Paderborn. To cite the numerous variations of this old story, which are like a conversation and its echoes, would be much too prolix, and it would be still more out of place to give their names, which are always very poetical, and often go back to the ancient language and times of fable. The hall of Hell is in the ''Edda'', called Eliud, its table Hungur, its knife Sultur, its serving-man Gangläti, its maid Ganglöt, its threshold Fallandiforrad, its bed Kaur, its coverlid Blikandibaul, its field Hnipinn. In the ''Gothrek's Sage'' there are other family names which are significant, the father Skapnartungur, the three sons Fiolmodi, Ymsigull, Gillingr; Mother Totra with her three daughters Snotra, Hiotra, Fiotra; and in another saga, the man Stedie, the wife Brynia, the daughter Smidia, and the son Thöllur; in the mythical names of races we find some which are closely related.

Compare also Schottky's ''Oestreichische Lieder'', p. 40. When Tannhaüser (MS. 2, 67) calls his people Zadel (Blame?), Zweifel (Doubt), Schade (Injury), and Unbereit (Unready), it marks the transition of the epic names into conscious allegory, as, for instance, in the saying, "Much borrowing had a step-mother called Sell-what-thou-hast, who brought forth a daughter called Give-it-cheap; this same daughter had a brother called Out-of-doors." The well-known saying, "Sparebread (father) is dead; Schmalhans (a half-starved creature) is head of the kitchen," is intermediary. There are many instances of single names, such as that of Zeitvertreib or Leidvertreib, for the wife, occurring in old works, viz. in ''Morolf'', 159, 1145. The "Ruprecht mein Knecht" of the ''Wartburger Krieg'', also belongs to this group. Compare the names which occur in ''Fair Katrinelje'' (No. 131). {{anchor|141}}{{c|141.—{{sc|The Lambkin and the Little Fish]].}}}} From the principality of Lippe. The end is imperfect, and it only dimly appears that the step-mother believes that she has eaten the little lamb, and orders the cook to cook the fish also.

Compare also Schottky's ''Oestreichische Lieder'', p. 40. When Tannhaüser (MS. 2, 67) calls his people Zadel (Blame?), Zweifel (Doubt), Schade (Injury), and Unbereit (Unready), it marks the transition of the epic names into conscious allegory, as, for instance, in the saying, "Much borrowing had a step-mother called Sell-what-thou-hast, who brought forth a daughter called Give-it-cheap; this same daughter had a brother called Out-of-doors." The well-known saying, "Sparebread (father) is dead; Schmalhans (a half-starved creature) is head of the kitchen," is intermediary. There are many instances of single names, such as that of Zeitvertreib or Leidvertreib, for the wife, occurring in old works, viz. in ''Morolf'', 159, 1145. The "Ruprecht mein Knecht" of the ''Wartburger Krieg'', also belongs to this group.

To be fat and heavy, to walk backwards and to be obliged to have live Ant for one’s dinner is a difficult, a very difficult problem. What would you do in such a case? Come, try to find something! Rack your brains! You can think of nothing? Well, never mind: plenty of others, including myself, could not think of anything either. Everyday common-sense, expressed in proverbs, tells us over and over again that necessity is the mother of invention. This great truth, which we have learnt by personal experience, we shall learn once more from the Ant-hunter. But first let us give him a name, to simplify our story. Naturalists call him the Ant-lion, a very happy term, which reminds us that, like the Lion, he lives by carnage, slaughtering live prey, in this ease Ants. Now that we have christened him we can on. When he wants his dinner, the Ant-lion says to himself: “You’re a fat little beggar, you know, short-legged and slow-moving; you’ll never catch Ants by running after them. On the other hand, you can walk backwards, that’s capital; you have a head flattened like a navvy’s shovel, that’s first-rate; your pincers are long and grip like a knife, that’s perfect, absolutely perfect. We’ll use that talent for walking backwards; we’ll use those tools, the shovel and tongs; we’ll make craft take the place of the agility which we lack; and the dinner will come along.” No sooner said than done. In a nice dry spot, warmed by the sun and sheltered from the rain by an overhanging rock, the wily animal selects a place where Ants are incessantly moving to and fro on household matters. Gravely, with the mathematical accuracy of an engineer tracing the foundation of a well-planned building, the Ant-lion walks backwards, with his body dug into the sand; he turns and turns and in this way hollows out a groove shaped like a perfect circle. Then, still moving backwards and still digging deeper and deeper into the sand, he repeats the circuit many times over, but gradually coming nearer the centre, where he arrives in the end. If any obstacle, such as a large bit of gravel, which would spoil the work, makes its appearance, the Ant-lion takes it on his flat head and, with a vigorous jerk of his neck, flings it to a distance over the edge of the hole. We should use a shovel in exactly the same way to throw out the rubbish when digging. {{missing image}}<noinclude></noinclude> p474i500qslegi8yses2lxry4vu641h Page:Princess Mary's Gift Book (IA princessmarysgif00mary).pdf/51 104 4018851 12507172 2022-07-24T20:23:25Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Problematic */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh||THE ANT-LION|33}}</noinclude>The result of this labour is a sort of funnel, two inches wide and a little less in depth. For that matter, each Ant-lion scoops himself out one proportioned to his size: the larger ones, the giants of the family, produce one almost big enough to hold an orange; the younger and smaller ones are content with a hollow which a walnut would fill. But, whether great funnels or modest dents, all these cavities are constructed on one and the same principle: the slope is very steep and formed of extremely loose sand; nothing, however light, can set foot upon it without producing a landslip, followed by a headlong fall. When the work is finished, the scoundrel buries himself in the sand, right at the bottom of the funnel; his pincers alone appear outside, ever ready to snap, but nevertheless hidden as far as possible. And now the Ant-lion remains completely motionless and waits; he waits for hours, for days, for weeks, if necessary, for his patience is unequalled; he waits for his dinner to come to him, as he cannot go after his dinner himself. Let us do as he does and wait, very attentively. What will happen? See, an Ant comes trotting along, suspecting no harm, bringing a little honey in her crop for her mates, who are working at a distance, just as the goodwife, on the stroke of noon, brings the reaper his midday meal in the fields. In her hurry, or perhaps in her heedlessness, she has not seen the precipice. She steps upon it, but only just on the edge. It makes no difference: as soon as her foot is on the perfidious slope, the sand gives way and the poor thing is dragged down. If our eyes were sharp enough, we should see signs of fierce delight betrayed by the formidable jaws at the bottom. Thank goodness! A microscopic bit of straw has interfered with the landslide. The fall ends in the middle of the slope; and the Ant, recovering her balance, tries to scramble back to the top. The sand trickles under her feet; no matter: she goes to work with so much prudence, she so skilfully makes use of the smallest solid support, she is so careful to move sideways instead of going straight up the slope that it looks as though the climb ought to be achieved without fresh impediment. Her knees, her delicate feelers seem atremble with excitement. One more effort, only a little effort, and the thing is done. The edge is there, close by; the Ant must reach it. Alas, she does not reach it! Suddenly from the sky there falls upon the poor wretch, thick as hailstones, a rain of grains of sand, which, for the tiny Ant, is as bad as a regular rain of pebbles.

The brute is the Ant-Tion, the ruffian, lying in ambush down in his funnel. See what he is doing. He takes on his flat head a load, a shovelful of sand, and flings it in the air towards the Ant, with a sudden, quick jerk of the neck, like the movement of a spring. The shovelfuls follow rapidly, one after the other. Whoosh! And whoosh! Do you want another? There’s one! You don’t want another? There’s one all the same! What can the Ant do, I ask you, on the slope of that terrible trap, where the ground falls from under her in a rushing torrent, while a hail of pebbles dashes down from above? In vain she struggles, with all the pluck of despair: for each step forward she takes three back, coming nearer and nearer to the dreadful jaws that are waiting for her at the bottom of the funnel. Bruised and dazed with the stoning, she rolls over and over, right into the jaws. The jaws seize her and everything disappears under the sand; not a trace remains of the recent tragedy. Peacefully buried in the sand of his lair, the Ant-lion devours his astutely-captured prey. When the meal is over, there remains a dry carcass, which must be thrown away, for, if left in the funnel, it might frighten any game in future and betray the hunter in his ambush. A jerk of the shovel, that is to say, a toss of the flat head, flings it outside the hole. Then the Ant-lion repairs the damage done to his trap, removes the coarser grains of sand, touches up the slopes to make them ready for a new slide. He buries himself as I have described and awaits the coming of the next Ant. That is how the Ant-lion secures his dinner. And yet there are people who say that animals have no sense! {{missing image}}<noinclude></noinclude> ml3a8tgzbkpqxrhjei9sl08izoylcn3 Index:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu 106 4018853 12507179 2022-07-24T20:25:17Z Dick Bos 15954 new proofread-index text/x-wiki {{:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template |Type=book |Title=''[[Ornithological Miscellany]]'' |Language=en |Volume=[[Ornithological Miscellany/Volume 1|Volume 1]] (1876) |Author=[[Author:George Dawson Rowley|George Dawson Rowley]] |Translator= |Editor= |Illustrator= |School= |Publisher=Trübner and Co., Bernard Quaritch, R.H.

He was however encouraged to proceed by the persuasion that the work was in itself amply deserving of the labour which it might be necessary to bestow upon it; that the intrinsic value, the unquestionable authenticity of the materials, and the general importance and curiosity of the subject, would fully compensate those particular defects and imperfections which, in an undertaking of this nature, were foreseen to be unavoidable, and, upon the whole, make amends for the too concise and almost obscure brevity of the text, in some places, its tedious and uninstructive prolixity in others, and its general unsuitableness for translation into an English idiom. Under all circumstances he flattered himself, that a faithful version of the Fundamental Laws of the Penal Code of China might, with the addition of some supplementary matter, not only prove interesting as far as regards its immediate subject, but likewise afford a more compendious and satisfactory illustration, than any other Chinese work that could have been selected, of the peculiar system and constitution of the Government, the principles of its internal policy, ifs connection with the national habits and character, and its influence upon the general state and condition of the people in that country.<noinclude>{{center|a}} {{right|To}}</noinclude> f1r9pibyak9kdseczg4reitk4e6dgxa Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/1 104 4018855 12507182 2022-07-24T20:25:50Z Dick Bos 15954 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> qyi247iz9n1m1j7hdl6a3msg1v2nqvq Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/2 104 4018856 12507183 2022-07-24T20:26:02Z Dick Bos 15954 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> qyi247iz9n1m1j7hdl6a3msg1v2nqvq Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/3 104 4018857 12507185 2022-07-24T20:26:14Z Dick Bos 15954 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> qyi247iz9n1m1j7hdl6a3msg1v2nqvq Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/4 104 4018858 12507186 2022-07-24T20:26:21Z Dick Bos 15954 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> qyi247iz9n1m1j7hdl6a3msg1v2nqvq Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/5 104 4018859 12507187 2022-07-24T20:26:27Z Dick Bos 15954 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude>H^^<noinclude></noinclude> nk5y45vsw1dl62xs1a8hnw8l2y43k1j Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/6 104 4018860 12507188 2022-07-24T20:26:35Z Dick Bos 15954 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> qyi247iz9n1m1j7hdl6a3msg1v2nqvq Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/7 104 4018861 12507189 2022-07-24T20:27:08Z Dick Bos 15954 vol 1 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude>{{dhr|2}} {{c|{{xx-larger|VOLUME I.}} {{dhr|2}}<noinclude></noinclude> 75p2do3jwqctmb6e2l70dzrea1pdyig 12507193 12507189 2022-07-24T20:27:19Z Dick Bos 15954 typo proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude>{{dhr|2}} {{c|{{xx-larger|VOLUME I.}}}} {{dhr|2}}<noinclude></noinclude> 9b86ujw5dl8z5tmqssdwu64lr4l49zw Page:DawsonOrnithologicalMiscVol1.djvu/8 104 4018862 12507194 2022-07-24T20:27:27Z Dick Bos 15954 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Dick Bos" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> qyi247iz9n1m1j7hdl6a3msg1v2nqvq Page:Ta Tsing Leu Lee; Being, The Fundamental Laws, and a Selections from the Supplementary Statutes, of the Penal Code of China.djvu/5 104 4018863 12507196 2022-07-24T20:29:41Z Kbseah 905936 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "To account for the limited and defective nature of our information upon these interesting subjects, notwithstanding the number and variety of the literary communications concerning the Chinese empire, which we already possess in Europe, through the medium of the European languages, it will be requisite to advert particularly to the circumstances under which these communications have been made, and to the sources from which they have, for the most part,... proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Kbseah" />{{RunningHeader|left=ii|center={{asc|Translator’s Preface.}}}}</noinclude>To account for the limited and defective nature of our information upon these interesting subjects, notwithstanding the number and variety of the literary communications concerning the Chinese empire, which we already possess in Europe, through the medium of the European languages, it will be requisite to advert particularly to the circumstances under which these communications have been made, and to the sources from which they have, for the most part, been derived.

In the mean while, however, the people who, at a remote period of antiquity first colonized this fertile and extensive region, were gradually emerging from primeval barbarism. Without either receiving assistance, or encountering opposition, from their less fortunate neighbours, they slowly but regularly advanced upon the strength of their own internal resources and local advantages, nearly, if not entirely, to their present state of civilization and improvement. The commencement of the 13th century is the period at which the Chinese first submitted in a body to the sway of a foreign conqueror; and although the dynasty, established by the successful invaders, was not of any long duration, it must have had a material, and even in some degree a permanent effect, upon the relations between China and contemporary Powers; more especially, as this revolution in the East was, it will be perceived, at no considerable interval of time, {{nop}}<noinclude>{{right|seconded}}</noinclude> 76jacp6j8thmkikcenpo1ajhs2v362b Index:Calculus Made Easy.pdf 106 4018864

As a new spirit of curiosity and enterprize had been thus excited, and means apparently adequate to its complete gratification discovered, it might naturally be supposed that one of the first objects would have been that of taking advantage of the additional facilities which seemed to have been afforded for a communication with the Chinese empire; that the early accounts, however vague and imperfect, which had been given by casual travellers, of its extent, magnificence, and political importance, would have soon led, in the ordinary course of events, to an intimate acquaintance and a regularly established intercourse with that remote and recently discovered, but, at the same time, highly interesting portion of the civilized world. At the end, however, of several centuries, these expectations are still but very imperfectly realized. This Great Empire, too well assured of the competency of its own natural and artificial resources, to be induced to seek, and, if not too powerful, at least too distant and compactly united, to be liable to be compelled to enter into alliances and close connections with the Powers of Europe, has never as yet, except in a precarious and limited degree, admitted of any species of intercourse with them. It continues to this day wholly regardless and independent of those nations of the West, whose general superiority in policy and in arms has triumphantly extended their power and influence over almost every other existing society of mankind. A considerable portion of the intercourse which actually subsists between China and the Nations of Europe owes its origin, as is well known, to the influence of religious motives; and was established under rather favourable auspices, by the indefatigable zeal and appropriate talents of the early missionaries of the Catholic church.

It has revived on the subject of the ''Tetralogy'', ''Tristan'', and ''Parsifal'', controversies which might have been thought to be dead and which take us back thirty years. We have no reason to complain of that. The "sacred union" has not suffered, and truth can only gain by it. The testing of time renders easier the equitable appreciation of works of art; and in the case of Wagner's work this test has been long enough to give us the advantage of due perspective. We to-day can turn upon this vast and complex monument of poetry, music and theatrical decoration a gaze more free and clear than could our elders, when they saw it rise for the first time before their astonished and dazzled eyes. The time will come, and it will come by victory, when reasons lying deep in the fitness of things which ruled that the author of the ''Tetralogy'' must be excluded from our dramatic and musical repertories will no longer exist, and it will then be for considerations of taste to decide whether or no Wagner is to be played, or to what extent he is to be played. But the decision of which public feeling will allow in this matter, the practice that will be established, will have all the more wisdom and authority if they are inspired by a taste that is well informed and thoroughly enlightened on the nature and value of Wagner's<noinclude></noinclude> cfb0413fypzlvcqu83r3jwktw3yj2v5 Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/163 104 4018869 12507213 2022-07-24T20:38:10Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|149|WAGNER THE POET|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>work, and on the quality of the influence that it has exercised and is still capable of exercising in our country. By giving ourselves up to this examination with the impartiality and calm that it demands we shall, on one important question, be making beforehand our dispositions for "after the war"! {{dhr}} {{c|I}} The question is a very wide one. I do not intend to study it here in its totality; of the two great aspects under which it presents itself, I shall only consider one. Wagner produced work both as a poet and as a musician. I will speak of the poet. I will try to characterise and judge Wagner's dramatic poems. Beyond doubt the subject when thus limited is open to one objection. It may be said that dramas destined to be translated into music and only written with that object, form with their music a living and indissoluble whole. By separating the elements of this whole in order to make them the subject of two distinct analyses, shall we not inflict on both a sort of mutilation, shall we not deprive them of a part of their meaning? There lies a difficulty against which we must indeed be on our guard. But that does not mean that we must withdraw the Wagnerian dramas from the test of a separate investigation. As Descartes said in effect, there is only one way of settling questions, and that is to begin by dividing them. This is especially true of such complex and many-sided questions as this. When it is intended to judge seriously a work of musical drama the first thing necessary is to study the drama by itself. Drama in music is still drama. As such<noinclude></noinclude> 7v0wtmt4mzf7bn8si29x5byhgufid70 Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/164 104 4018870 12507217 2022-07-24T20:39:17Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|150|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>it must have its own substance; it presents us with a story, characters, passions, characterisation; it rests on a certain basis of ideas. All this it should normally be possible to understand without the music; these things ought to offer in themselves an interest that is independent of the music. No doubt at a mere reading the imagination will not associate itself with this interest as keenly as might be desired; those poems will not produce the emotion or exhale the poetry which when they are heard, may be the chief attraction, and which depend above all on the music. But one to whose mind this music is familiar could not re-read these dramas without hearing the music singing in the words, without seeing the situations coloured by it. And if he gives an analysis or description of the dramatic stories of Wagner, the lines with which he draws them will find themselves quite naturally impregnated with this musical colouring, and they will not have the comparative dryness of the bare text. This method seems undoubtedly the right one. But however much the question in general may be open to debate, there is, where Wagner is concerned, a reason of fact which imposes it on us, and renders especially necessary a previous and separate study of the Wagnerian dramas. In the very considerable influence exercised in France by Wagner's work, his dramatic poems have had their own independent share. I am quite ready to agree that they have owed their influence solely to the renown of the music which accompanied or supported them, and I admit that without its aid they would not simply as samples of German literature have succeeded in capturing the attention of Frenchmen.

They have not lacked great admirers, nor makers of glosses and scholiasts to elucidate their mysteries. They have been read by many with gravity and in the expectation of finding great things in them. They have conquered the imagination of artists, have provided painters with inspiration, and certain poetic schools with myths and themes of meditation on which they have freely embroidered; they have even furnished the model of a form of expression for imitation. Doctrines have been sought in them; the Wagnerian conceptions have added credit or at the very least attractiveness to certain mystic ideologies, to certain religious movements arising from the same tendencies. In short, Wagner brought into France not only a music but also a literature. And this literature has had its share for the last forty years in the intellectual culture of a considerable class of Frenchmen. It has scattered a thousand germs in our mental atmosphere. The student who cares to collect in detail the evidences of its action will find matter for a big volume. I would add (and the fact must be reckoned with) that this action has been so easily spread abroad because in many respects it went hand in hand with the great Germanic influences which have been making themselves felt in our country for a century past. {{dhr}} {{c|II}} The sources of Wagnerian literature are known.

These are the sources from which Wagner drew the subjects of his dramas, except that work of his youth, ''Rienzi''. These subjects were very much in vogue in German literature in the days of his youth. The taste with which they inspired him was nothing new, it was the prevailing taste of the time. The most marked feature of this period of German literature, the period which followed Goethe and is by general agreement called the romantic period, was a great vogue for the old national literature, a great zeal for its revival. And it was not only Germany's historians, students and philologists who devoted themselves to this undertaking. Her poets, romance-writers and dramatic authors contributed to it in their own way by themselves taking from this distant source the plots and characters of their fictions. Tieck, Lamotte-Fougué, Hoffman, Novalis, Immermann, Heine, to say nothing of a legion of obscure authors, dealt with all Wagner's subjects before Wagner. They told or sang of the Flying Dutchman, Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, Tristan, Parsifal, Siegfried. "There were in existence," says the learned H. Lichtenberger, "a crowd of tragedies on the ''Nibelungen''." Thus Wagner the poet is not an independent or isolated phenomenon. He belongs to the literary school of German romanticism which covers the first half of the nineteenth century. The works of his first period, ''the Phantom Ship'', ''Tannhäuser'' and ''Lohengrin'' constitute as regards their inspiration and their form a distinct group in the<noinclude></noinclude> 4k363joz71o3544wkwrjgen6zwpgskf Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/167 104 4018873 12507235 2022-07-24T20:43:24Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|153|WAGNER THE POET|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>total of his creations. But the three have enough in common to make us content with a few remarks on the last of the three. We find in ''Lohengrin'' that part of the theme is truly poetic, stamped with real humanity and lacking in its developments neither simplicity nor grace. Take for example all the part dealing with the feelings of Elsa towards Ortrude, her deadly enemy. Ortrude has contrived a diabolical plot for the ruin and dishonour of Elsa. Unmasked and defeated she appeals to the girl's pity and begs her to restore her in the eyes of the world by reconciliation: but this is only in order to find opportunity for the hideous vengeance she is meditating. Elsa is far more sorry for her wickedness than for her misfortune (wickedness being indeed the greater misfortune), and grants her not only pity but friendship; rendered happy by love she thinks she would be ungrateful for her own good fortune if she hardened her heart even against this wicked woman. Everyone knows well the charm of the setting devised by the poet's scenic inventiveness for the expression of these feelings. The ingenuous raptures of Elsa's love for her knight have a charm no less natural and pure. And the triumph of this love in the splendour and glory of nuptial pomp provides not merely a scene and a spectacular effect; there is wafted by the pageant of these celebrations a breath of youth and untroubled enthusiasm. Though the knights of the Grail, of whom ''Lohengrin'' is one, belong to the world of miracle, yet the terrestrial mission that they allot themselves, which often summons them far from their sacred abode to the region of ordinary mortals, has an object and a motive that appeal to the mind and heart, namely the defence<noinclude></noinclude> ddv1uo303kkp3fnkpnwa5hbe4er1o9a Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/168 104 4018874 12507238 2022-07-24T20:44:35Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|154|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>of justice and oppressed innocence. That is what gives a noble and clear meaning, a moving grandeur to the magical arrival of Lohengrin; touched by the last appeal of Elsa, to whom he has already presented himself in a dream, he comes and places her under the protection of his sword and his honour. Are we to be astonished that he falls in love with her? The knights of the Grail may well have, side by side with their mystic super-human vocation, a share in human sensibility, seeing that they are grievously moved by human injustice. But at this point arises a situation which it is difficult to treat humanly. Elsa becomes the wife of a demi-god, and it so happens that this demi-god can only prolong his sojourn on earth incognito. If his personality and origin are discovered the charm which keeps him there is broken and he must go. Accordingly he makes Elsa swear never to ask him about himself, or she will see him vanish into the air from which he came. It seems to me that at this point the theme loses dignity, savours of the childish, of the fairy story, and that it becomes impossible to develop it in a natural manner while adhering to the poetic and lofty tone of other portions of the work. Imagine not knowing to whom one is married! Might it not be perhaps with the devil, who is so clever at taking all sorts of shapes? Such a condition imposed in the name of love engenders of itself a sort of entirely physical anguish that must paralyse the sentiment. How could a young bride fail to feel the obsession of it?

Parody dogs the steps of this part of the story. Nietzsche, with his passion for satirising Wagner, quite saw this. "Lohengrin, or the importance of making sure of the civil status of the person one marries," is the way he puts it. It is only too easy no doubt to ridicule a fine work which offers one absurd aspect, and I readily allow that the unity of tone, sustained inspiration, and fine radiance of the music, correct or minimise in the performance the effect of disproportion and inequality resulting from this absurd element mingled with elements that are natural and noble. These defects are none the less real, and not to be shocked at this infantile aspect of the drama one must surely have an imagination that lacks culture, and is very easily pleased. This drama has, according to Wagner, a high philosophic trend. But there is one strange point—or rather, it is only too comprehensible—to which I cannot too emphatically draw attention. What we find infantile in his theme is precisely what he himself, when he undertakes to annotate it and bring out its philosophic meaning, thinks greatest. And those elements of invention of which we can scarcely make sense are the very ones to convey, according to him, the most precious and sublime meanings. Listen to him—this is German! "Elsa is the unconscious, the spontaneous, in the bosom of which the conscious, thoughtful being of Lohengrin aspires to find its deliverance (or, its redemption: ''Erlösung''); but this aspiration itself is traceable to the unconscious, necessary, and spontaneous element in Lohengrin's being, by which he feels his<noinclude></noinclude> h7zk97bt55857z66ljb6f0p5pg0iqda Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/170 104 4018877 12507248 2022-07-24T20:48:14Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|156|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>affinity to the being of Elsa. Thanks to the power of this 'unconscious conscience,' as I experienced it myself with Lohengrin, I arrived at a comprehension growing more and more intimate of feminine nature; I succeeded in plunging myself so completely in the feminine being that I expressed it in a manner worthy of that complete penetration in my Elsa the lover. I could not prevent myself from finding the latter absolutely justified in the final explosion of her jealousy, and it was precisely that explosion which for the first time enlightened me thoroughly on the purely human essential quality of love. This woman who, with a clear vision of what she is doing, hurls herself to her doom out of regard for the necessary essential quality of love—who, given up to the feelings of an enthusiastic adoration, wills to go under if she cannot possess her well-beloved in his entirety; this woman who, from the fact of her contact with Lohengrin was destined just so to go under, only by the same stroke to give him over to his destruction: this woman who acts thus and cannot act otherwise, who by the explosion of her jealousy passes from a state of charmed adoration to the essential plenitude of love, and who in going under reveals its essential quality to the man who did not yet understand it: this magnificent woman before whom Lohengrin was to disappear, because from the point of view of his special nature he could not understand her—this woman I had now discovered, and the first arrow that I launched towards the noble object, already foreshadowed but not known, of my discovery, was my Lohengrin, to whose loss I had to consent in order to remain true to my aim of the true feminine, which is to bring redemption to me and the entire world, when before it masculine egoism,<noinclude></noinclude> fpq31twe91nnh6dxff79m3kq2hagc1g Page:Tender Grass for Little Lambs.pdf/45 104 4018878 12507250 2022-07-24T20:49:24Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "his kind friend that there was no reason why he should have any desire to touch what was forbidden.

Elsa the woman—Woman till now not understood and now understood, that very necessary essential expression of pure sensitive spontaneity—has made of me a thorough revolutionary. She was the spirit of the people, of which I too as artist felt the need, for my redemption." You do not quite follow? But it is partly that the German language is terrible, with all those amphibious words in whose signification sensation and idea mingle and encroach on each other in a manner so confused that it is practically impossible for us to translate them; for, to the honour of our intellectual and moral civilisation we have not their equivalents in French. In this flux of invertebrate phrases, one conception, which if not clear is at any rate very strongly tendencious, yet allows itself to be discerned. Reason, knowledge, experience, deliberate thought, all the "conscious" and organised forms of our inner life, imprison us in the bonds from which we must "deliver" ourselves by some undefined yielding to the suggestions or intuitions of pure and instinctive sensibility, as man "delivers himself" of himself in the bosom of a woman, delivers himself of egoism in the bosom of love. And sensibility, emancipated from reflection is identified with what Wagner calls the "spirit of the people," an ideal of all innocence, kindness and genius.

In it the author follows almost line for line the incidents of the old mediæval legend, heightening them with straightforward and sometimes beautiful poetic developments. We could read and re-read the text and suspect none of the extraordinary meanings which his commentary would have us discover in them. But had he thought of putting those meanings in it himself? Did he not introduce them after the work was done? There are very strong reasons for thinking that he did so. The strongest is obtained from a comparison of dates. ''Lohengrin'' is three years earlier than the year 1848. The ''Communication to my friends'', which gives the commentary on it, is two years after that date. For anyone who knows Wagner's moral history that explains everything. The revolution of 1848 had a deep and violent influence on him, it caused a real crisis in his ideas. Till then his mental activity had been applied solely to his art; on everything else he had held the average opinions of a peaceable subject of the king of Saxony. Here we find him calling in question all received opinions and beginning I will not say to meditate but to dream about the foundations of civilisation and society. The so-called explanation of the meaning of his first dramas is in reality a manifesto of his new thoughts. But as he became from this moment a passionate theorist, without however, ceasing to be a poet, we find him no longer relegating the expression of his theories to the annotations on his dramas; he propagates them in the dramas themselves.

It gives no evidence of any personal effort of reflection. It is a beaten track, but he follows it with as much feverish ardour as if he had hewn it out by his own initiative. He embraces his ideas with passion, but he is not in any sense their creator. He received them from the ambient air. In German philosophic and literary circles of the nineteenth century there were no ideas more widely received; the source from which he draws them occupied in German thought of that century the position of an ordinary commonplace. That commonplace consists in what might be called the cult of the primitive, in the identification of the primitive with the ideal. The supposition, or the dream, is that all the creations of thought and of the human soul, all the {{SIC|instutitions|institutions}} of human life, poetry, religion, morality, law, once had a primitive state, a primitive form, superior to all the forms they have subsequently assumed, which is the excelling type by which all the rest must be judged, and to which a return must be made. Considered in itself this ideology is the cloudiest and vainest in the world; there is nothing corresponding to it in the reality of things. The primitive state is an entity devoid of sense. But what has no sense as an expression of the real may have some as the expression of certain tendencies. And it is easy to recognise in the ideology of the primitive the expression of the ethical and national tendencies, aspirations and pretensions of modern Germany. Up to the end of the eighteenth century Germany had felt herself and recognised herself to be a backwater of the traditional European culture of which<noinclude></noinclude> 756588kxv1gojr7ouck1wpbougj2hwj Page:The Bondman; A New Saga (IA bondmannewsaga00cain).djvu/77 104 4018891 12507287 2022-07-24T21:02:14Z Uzume 173317 /* Not proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Uzume" />{{rvh|59|{{i|{{uc|{{#switch:1|{{#expr:59 < 103}}=The Book of Stephen Orry|{{#expr:59 < 237}}=The Book of Michael Sunlocks|{{#expr:59 < 340}}=The Book of Red Jason|1=Epilogue}}}}.}}|{{i|{{uc|The Bondman}}.}}}}</noinclude>might, he would not go. Why should he? Who was this man that he should command his obedience? His father? Then what, as a father, had he done for him? Abandoned him to the charity of others. What was he? One whom he had thought of with shame, hoping never to set eyes on his face. And now this man, this father, this thing of shame, would have him sacrifice all that was near and dear to him, and leave behind the only one who had been, indeed, his father, and the only place that had been, in truth, his home. But no, that base thing he would not do. And saying this, Michael Sunlocks tossed his head proudly, though there was a great gulp in his throat and his voice had risen to a cry. And to all this rush of protest old Adam, who had first stared out at the window with a look of sheer bewilderment, and then sat before the fire to smoke, trying to smile though his mouth would not bend, and to say something more though there seemed nothing to say, answered only in a thick under-breath, "He is your father, my lad, he is your father." Hearing this again and again repeated, even after he had fenced it with many answers, Michael Sunlocks suddenly be- thought himself of all that had so lately occurred, and the idea came to him in the whirl of his stunned senses that perhaps the Governor wished him to go, now that they could part without offence or reproach on either side. At that bad thought his face fell, and though little given to women's ways, he had almost flung himself at old Adam's feet to pray of him not to send him away whatever happened, when all at once he remembered his vow of the morning. What had come over him since he made that vow, that he was trying to draw back now? He thought of Greeba, of the Governor, and again of Greeba. Had the coming of Greeba altered all? Was it because Greeba was again home that he wished to stay? Was it for that the Governor wished him to go, needing him now no more? He did not know, he could not think; only the hot flames rose to his cheeks and the hot tears to his eyes, and he tossed his head again mighty proudly, and said as stoutly as ever, "Very well— very well—I'll go—since you wish it." Now old Adam saw but too plainly what mad strife was in the lad's heart to be wroth with him for all the ingratitude of his thought, so, his wrinkled face working hard with many passions—sorrow and tenderness, yearning for the lad and desire to keep him, pity for the father robbed of the love of his son, who felt an open shame of him—the good man twisted<noinclude></noinclude> c2okbzhldfxyogqa31u46lq86y24gg6 Page:MU KPB 015 Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination.pdf/188 104 4018892 12507290 2022-07-24T21:03:09Z RaboKarbakian 2427564 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="RaboKarbakian" />{{rvh2|136|chapter|{{uc|Tales of Mystery and Imagination}}|&nbsp;}}<div class="story"></noinclude>apparently new, lying in the bottom of the boat in which we were to embark. “What is the meaning of all this, Jup?” I inquired. “Him syfe, massa, and spade.” “Very true; but what are they doing here?” “Him de syfe and de spade what Massa Will sis ‘pon my buying for him in de town, and de debbil’s own lot of money I had to gib for ’em.” “But what, in the name of all that is mysterious, is your ‘Massa Will’ going to do with scythes and spades? ” “Dat’s more dan I know, and debbil take me if 1 don’t b’lieve ’tis more dan he know too. But it’s all cum ob de bug.” Finding that no satisfaction was to be obtained of Jupiter, whose whole intellect seemed to be absorbed by “de bug,” I now stepped into the boat, and made sail. With a fair and strong breeze we soon ran into the little cove to the northward of Fort Moultrie, and a walk of some two miles brought us to the hut. It was about three in the afternoon when we arrived. Legrand had been awaiting us in eager expectation. He grasped my hand with a nervous ''empressement'' which alarmed me and strengthened the suspicions already entertained. His countenance was pale even to ghastliness, and his deep-set eyes glared with unnatural lustre. After some inquiries respecting his health, I asked him, not knowing what better to say, if he had yet obtained the ''scarabæus'' from Lieutenant G{{bar|3}}. “Oh, yes,” he replied, colouring violently, “I got it from him the next morning. Nothing should tempt me to part with that ''scarabæus''. Do you know that Jupiter is quite right about it?” “In what way?” I asked, with a sad foreboding at heart. “In supposing it to be a bug of real gold.” He said this with an air of profound seriousness, and I felt inexpressibly shocked. “This bug is to make my fortune,” he continued, with a triumphant smile; “to reinstate me in my family possessions. Is it any wonder, then, that I prize it? Since Fortune has thought fit to bestow it upon me, I have only to use it properly, and I shall arrive at the gold of which it is the index. Jupiter, bring me that ''scarabæus''!” “What! de bug, massa? I’d rudder not go fer trubble dat bug; you mus’ git him for your own self.” Hereupon Legrand arose, with a grave and stately air, and brought me the beetle from a glass case in which it was enclosed. It was a beautiful ''scarabæus'', and, at that time, unknown to naturalists—of course a great prize in a scientific point of view. There were two round black spots near one extremity of the back, and a long one near the other.

At that moment, for reasons the explanation of which would require a general review of history, a fierce need of emancipation and separation took possession of her; she decided to affirm in all the manifestations of the mind her own independent personality. Meanwhile she found herself behind other western peoples, especially the French, in civilisation, and had nothing original to set against the old common culture from which it was her pretension to emancipate herself. How was Germany to bring this situation and this ambition into harmony? There was only one way, that she should turn this very backwardness, with all that it implied of comparative rudeness and barbarism, into a boast; that she should interpret her apparent inferiority as the sign of a real superiority. And this, with the aid of her philosophers, she did. Strong in the theories of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, of whom one may say that he was to prove, though without intention, the prophet of German national thought, these philosophers furnished her with grounds for depreciation of the acquired perfections which compose an outstanding civilisation, depreciation of the learned classical discipline of reason, depreciation of politeness of taste and manners; thus providing at the same time grounds for admiration of Germany, who had kept closer to nature. This comparison, entirely to their own advantage, marked out their path for the Germans and fired them with enthusiasm. The return to Nature for them meant a return to their own nature.

Thus was formed the principle of a new culture, the starting point of a new career for philosophy, poetry and criticism. It is true that it was not particularly easy to represent the Primitive, as thus conceived, by clear cut notions. But ought it not of itself to lend itself better to a shadowy intuition? And for the purpose of appealing to this intuition, the German tongue has a resource all her own, the prefix ''Ur'', which placed before the name of anything signifies its absolutely initial form, its remotest genesis: ''Ur-anfang'', the beginning of the beginning: ''Ur-grund'', the reason anterior to all reasons that can be apprehended: ''Ur-stimmung'', the hidden state of soul underlying the state of soul of which we are conscious. Since ''Volk'' means in German "people," the German people was ''Ur-volk'', the type of nationality intended and created by Nature, non-artificial. With the idea of the primitive were closely associated those of the popular (''volkstümlich''), the spontaneous (''unwillkürlich'') and the unconscious (''unbewusst''). These concepts are practically interchangeable. The creations of culture are aristocratic and deliberate creations. The creations of nature are the work of all, they are produced artlessly, by a collective, unconscious and spontaneous generation. With an extraordinary lack of taste German criticism persisted in finding these common characteristics in poetical compositions matured in stages of civilisation so unequal, and belonging to such different antiquities as the ''Nibelungen'', the Bible, and the poems of Homer.

One might discuss the limits of the influence, in any case very wide, exercised in Germany by these conceptions. But the discussion would be without interest for us, since, so far as Richard Wagner is concerned, this influence was unlimited. It would be impossible to be more subject to it than he was. He was absolutely possessed by it. He may have subsequently discovered other ideas; he may have changed, I will not say his principles (how attribute principles to a mind of this quality, all passion and mobility?) but at least his sentiments, impressions and impulses. His faith in the primitive and its ideal value adapted itself to these successive orientations; by doing so it took on some new tints but was not weakened. If anyone has found in his theoretical writings as many as thirty lines in which the following expressions do not recur ''ad nauseam'', I should like to see them: ''rein menschlich'' (purely human), ''urmenschlich'' (primitively human), ''willkürlich'' and ''unwillkürlich'' (deliberate and spontaneous), ''unbewusst'' (unconscious). With these words, which do not mean much, Wagner imagines he has said all there is to be said. It is true that I have traced to the national passions of the German people, if not the very origin of this ideology, at least the unprecedented favour that it enjoyed. And on the other hand the Wagner of 1848 appears to us to be far removed from nationalist preoccupations. He is as he says "utterly revolutionary." There is no contradiction in this.

And then, with a brave show of composure, though many a time his old face twitched and his voice faltered, and under his bleared spectacles his eyes blinked, he told Michael Sunlocks the story of his infancy—how his father, a rude man, little used to ways of tenderness, had nursed him when his mother, being drunken and without natural feelings, had neglected him; how his father had tried to carry him away, and failed for want of the licence allowing them to go; how at length, in dread of what might come to the child, yet loving him fondly, he had concluded to kill him, and had taken him out to sea in a boat to do it, but could not compass it from terror of the voice that seemed to speak within him, and from pity of the child's artless prattle; and last of all, how his father had brought him there to that house, not abandoning him to the charity of others, but yielding him up reluctantly, and as one who gave away in solemn trust the sole thing he held dear in all the world. And pleading in this way for Stephen Orry, poor old Adam was tearing at his own heart woefully, little desiring that his words would prevail, yet urging them the more for the secret hope that, in spite of all, Michael Sunlocks, like the brave lad he was, would after all refuse to go. But Michael, who had listened impatiently at first, tramping the room to and fro, paused presently, and his eyes began to fill and his hands to tremble. So that when Adam, having ended, said, "Now, will you not go to Iceland?" thinking in his heart that the lad would fling his arms about him and cry, "No, no, never, never," and he himself would then answer, "My boy, my boy, you shall stay here, you shall stay here," Michael Sunlocks, his heart swelling and his eyes glistening with a great new pride and tenderness, said softly, "Yes, yes—for a father like that I would cross the world." Adam Fairbrother said never a word more. He blew out the candle that shone on his race, sat down before the fire, and through three hours thereafter smoked in silence. But for all the powerful advocacy that had raised the pity of Sunlocks, and persuaded him that he ought to go to Iceland, some furtive instinct of boyhood still prompted him to rebel. Hardly knowing yet what this strife in his young blood could be, he went out of the house, and paced the gravel-walk at the western end of it.

In what name does Germany attack the tradition of the old European and classical culture? In the name of the inspirations of primitive humanity. In what name does the spirit of revolution attack institutions and laws in general? In the name of primitive rights. The kinship of these two movements of ideas is very close and obvious, and it explains why, among the nations of Europe, Germany is the only one in which the revolutionary spirit has not weakened the national spirit. For the great welders of imperial unity, when they have become the masters of public opinion, it is an undertaking based on nature and the affinities of things to turn the current of one of these ideas into the other, to attract the revolutionary movement into the nationalist movement, and to capture for the profit of the latter the moral energies and forces of sentiment engaged in the first. At the point of history with which we are now concerned, this work is only faintly foreshadowed. The revolutionary spirit which stirs Wagner is still cosmopolitan. But there would not be many changes to make in the terms of his message to convert the writings containing its expression into regular manifestos of proselytic Germanism. {{dhr}} {{c|IV}} Being the work of the ideologue as much as of the poet, the ''Nibelungen Ring'' or ''Tetralogy'' generally passes for a very obscure composition.

This drama in four dramas would deserve that opinion even if the author had not put into it other conceptions that are anything but clear besides those which I have just sketched. But if these conceptions provide the ''Ring'' with its principle and dominant themes, they do not constitute it entirely. There are several others added, which seem to me to have a relation with those first ones analogous to that of musical variations with their theme. Taken all together they form a sort of universal system embracing the totality of things human and divine. And it is indeed true that some parts of this system are calculated to reduce the most resolute exponent of it to despair. The ''Ring'', then, is obscure. But is it unique in its obscurity? I think not, and I am astonished that among the aspects it presents this is the only one usually emphasised. Side by side with its symbolic meanings, which themselves are only partially, not wholly, wrapped in darkness, it offers us a story that is very clear and easily understood as soon as one stops looking too eagerly for symbolism. Its clearness is of two sorts according to which of two themes one chooses to study. One is the sort of clearness which is proper to fanciful stories and fairy tales, and one could not ask for anything more vivid, seeing that it satisfies the mind of a little child. The other is somewhat out of range of the young, but is no more difficult to understand than a novel or drama in the fashion of 1830, a novel or drama by Georges Sand or Dumas, such as ''Lelia'', ''Indiana'', ''Jacques'' or ''Antony'', inspired by the defence of free love and the rights of nature against the slavery and prejudice of marriage and laws.

But there seemed to be nothing to mock at him there except the echoes of old Cronk na Irey Lhaa, and none to grin at him except the moon, which had lately risen, and looked innocent enough when he faced about on her. So for a long hour he walked to and fro, blackening his fate and his future; and then suddenly the silence that had been broken by his melancholy footfall only was startled by a trill of merry laughter. Sunlocks knew the voice, for his heart was in his mouth at the first note of it, and from a little window, framed round with honeysuckle just bursting into early bloom, there popped out into the white moonlight the curly brown head of Greeba, and her radiant and beautiful face beaming bright with gaiety and mischief. Some light banter followed, in which she tendered him a penny for his thoughts, and he answered that she should have them for nothing if she could find him in pleasanter ones instead. "Why, you never really mean to go?" she said; and he replied that he had no choice. She asked what he was to go for, and he said for study at the Latin school, and he supposed it was meant that he should join the Church. Then the face in the frame of honeysuckle laughed more merrily than before, and in a tone of mock solemnity began to picture Sunlocks as a parson, with a countenance uncommon grave and a voice like a gawk. "Oh, you'll be forced to cut your hair," she said, "and wear a black sack coat and a shovel hat." But by this time the heavy spirit of Sunlocks had regained its wings, and straightway he fell into Greeba's own humour, and joining his melancholy wail with hers, he pictured himself returning to the island after his time in Iceland as vicar of that very parish. "Ah yes," she moaned, "and I shouldn't wonder but you'll have to marry somebody out of the Dorcas class, and settle down." "I shouldn't wonder," said Sunlocks. "Some sulky old frump of a spinster in spectacles, just like Bella Quayle," she said. "Just," said he sadly. "What's their religion in Iceland?" she asked sharply. "Lutheran," he answered. "And do their parsons hold with confession?"{{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> qvit1mhyzudfj42k8uuvd227g8nr4xk Index:Poet Lore, volume 4, 1892.djvu/styles.css 106 4018901 12507315 2022-07-24T21:15:21Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 Created page with ".toc-section-end { padding-bottom:1em; }" sanitized-css text/css .toc-section-end { padding-bottom:1em; } oipswonap1py1lb8amek2kg4fbb20v9 Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/179 104 4018902 12507318 2022-07-24T21:17:11Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|165|WAGNER THE POET|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>aggravate the difficulty, that the characters in this romance instead of being taken from the lower-middle classes of France and Germany are taken from Germanic mythology and prehistoric legend; especially when, from above the clouds or out of the abysm of time they address us in the language in use yesterday or the day before and quite familiar to us. In these two senses the ''Ring'' is a very clear work. The fantastic on a vast scale, a chain of wonderful stories put on the stage, and a romance modelled on the old romantic theses of sentimental anarchism, the whole mixed with certain riddles of metaphysical terminology, that for my part I think are only too easily deciphered, such are the elements of which the invention of the Tetralogy is composed. I will summarise its story in as consecutive a manner as possible. In the luminous depths of the Rhine, the gnome Alberich pursues the water-sprites who elude him and mock him, springing from rock to rock. But while thus disporting themselves they neglect to guard the divine treasure entrusted to them, comprising Gold, the Ring and the Helm; the Ring is capable of procuring for its possessor the sovereignty of the universe; the Helm is the instrument of all metamorphoses. The dwarf, forced to abandon the pursuit of the fair daughters of the wave, and preferring the joys of greed and power to those of unattainable love, gets possession of these magic objects. Changed into a monster he thinks he is secure against robbers. But he has reckoned without Wotan, the master of the gods, who on the advice of his gossip Loge (the Mercury of Nordic mythology) comes to the cave of Alberich, and defies him to change himself into a toad; the fool<noinclude></noinclude> 64o42c36f6y8ips5qzdv9c173fjp5ug Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/185 104 4018903 12507322 2022-07-24T21:20:00Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|171|WAGNER THE POET|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>to free the universe from the ancient servitude of {{SIC|of}} Gold and the Laws, and by that very fact belongs to the reign of Gold and the Laws, and must disappear with it, together with the gods who upheld it.

That is what I make of this conclusion, what I seem to discern in the dust of the ruins of Valhalla. {{dhr}} {{c|V}} The subject matter of these stories was borrowed by Wagner from the old Germanic-Scandinavian poem of the Nibelungen. One can understand the attraction it must have exercised, apart from all philosophic and symbolic aims, on a composer of operas the bent of whose mind led him in the direction of spectacular opera. For such is indeed the trend of Wagner's mind, at any rate such is one of the faculties that constituted his genius; he has a passionate taste for theatrical decoration and the composition of scenic effects; he adores their fascination, and he has a wonderful aptitude for their processes and artifices. Initiated early in all the mysteries of the boards by his step-father, Geyer, who was both an actor and a decorative painter, he was able to apply confidently his rare powers of imagination to scenic inventions: he would have made his fortune as a promoter of pantomimes if he had not been a great musician. Among the attractions which he found in the fable of the ''Nibelungen'', not the least was the quality of the scenic effects to which it lent itself.

It is true that we French have also had spectacular opera, under the name of opera-ballet, and the works of the greatest and most exquisite of our musicians, Rameau, belong partly to this class. But the element of the marvellous in Rameau's operas is taken from classical mythology, that is to say from the most imaginative and most artistic nation in the world, from the inventions of the greatest poets of antiquity, Hesiod, Homer, Vergil, Ovid; it is permeated throughout with humanity, grace, irony and wit. The traditional figures and images by which it is represented are full of style, having been modelled by the genius of the Italian painters of the renaissance. The marvellous element in Wagner is taken, and taken raw, from a barbarous literature. It has indeed its own savour and colour; it is by no means lacking in a certain heavy humour. But it has a character of exaggeration and childishness, and the result is that for French taste (and we have I take it no reason for abjuring in honour of Wagner a taste which is our pride) it would be more in place at the Châtelet theatre, where we take our children, than in works that aim at grandeur of style and nobility of moral impression.

When we reached this tree, Legrand turned to Jupiter, and asked him if he thought he could climb it. The old man seemed a little staggered by the question, and for some moments made no reply. At length he approached the huge trunk, walked slowly around it, and examined it with minute attention. When he had completed his scrutiny, he merely said: “Yes, massa, Jup climb any tree he ebber see in he life.” “Then up with you as soon as possible, for it will soon be too dark to see what we are about.” “How far mus’ go up, massa?” inquired Jupiter “Get up the main trunk first, and then I will tell you which way to go—and here—stop! take this beetle with you.” “De bug, Massa Will!—de goole-bug!” cried the negro, drawing back in dismay—“what for mus’ tote de bug way up de tree?—d{{bar|3}}n if I do!” “If you are afraid, Jup, a great big negro like you, to take hold of a harmless little dead beetle, why you can carry it up by this string—but, if you do not take it up with you in some way, I shall be under the necessity of breaking your head with this shovel.” “What de matter now, massa?” said Jup, evidently shamed into compliance; “always want for to raise fuss wid old nigger. Was only funnin’ anyhow. ''Me'' feered de bug! what I keer for de bug?” Here he took cautiously hold of the extreme end of the string, and, maintaining the insect as far from his person as circumstances would permit, prepared to ascend the tree. In youth, the tulip-tree or ''{{wdl|Q158783|Liriodendron Tulipiferum}}'', the most magnificent of American foresters, has a trunk peculiarly smooth, and often rises to a great height without lateral branches; but, in its riper age, the bark becomes gnarled and uneven, while many short limbs make their appearance on the stem. Thus the difficulty of ascension, in the present case, lay more in semblance than in reality. Embracing the huge cylinder, as closely as possible, with his arms and knees, seizing with his hands some projections, and resting his naked toes upon others, Jupiter, after one or two narrow escapes from falling, at length wriggled himself into the first great fork, and seemed to consider the whole business as virtually accomplished. The risk of the achievement was, in fact, now over, although the climber was some sixty or seventy feet from the ground. “Which way mus’ go now, Massa Will?” he asked. “Keep up the largest branch—the one on this side,” said Legrand.

There was a moment's silence, and then she threw her lace apron over her face and said, "Good gracious! let's hope you'll never come back as vicar of this parish, any way." For another moment Sunlocks was silent, all but with his eyes, and they were eloquent of rapture. "Greeba," he said softly, looking up, "would it be so very terrible to confess to me instead of to a stranger?" "Why, goodness me! you are only a boy," she said. That stroke of womanly dignity dashed his courage for a moment; but true it is that there are more ways to a girl's heart than to a capital town, and presently he said, dragging at the tendrils of honeysuckle as he spoke, "I wouldn't so much mind confessing to you, Greeba." From one corner of her apron she shot a glance at him, half coy, half arch, altogether bewitching, and said, "And pray, sir, what would you confess?" "Come down and I'll tell you—won't you come?—come now," he said coaxingly. "Yes, yes!" "No, no," she answered. "But, if you must practise confession, just confess to me where I am." A smile like sunshine lit up his young face in the moonlight, with its wealth of flaxen hair falling back. "Greeba," he whispered, "Greeba"—— "Well, begin." "How beautiful you look to-night, Greeba!" "You silly boy," she said; but her smile belied her words, and she hung her head at the sweet praise. "Greeba"—— "Stop, stop, stop!" she cried in a hushed voice, "there's somebody listening." He swung about on the gravel with fire in his face in an instant, and said "Where?" "There," she answered with bated breath; "look!" She pointed to a hedge a few paces away, and true enough a white face was peering over. Sunlocks made for it in four swinging strides and with uplifted fist, but before he could reach it another trill of merry laughter came from behind him, and the window was shut down with a bang. Greeba was gone—the listener was a calf.{{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 964zy5fqvpd5mvo4a87tqgnia8tvew6 Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/187 104 4018907 12507333 2022-07-24T21:26:48Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|173|WAGNER THE POET|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>Germans. This combination of philosophy and machinery, of the abstract and string-pulling, makes us want to laugh. But Frenchmen and Germans do not laugh at the same things. The fantastic element when it represents something philosophic or historic is regarded gravely by the Germans, especially if it is on a "colossal" scale. It makes them think. Let us recognise, however, that all this decorative part of Wagner's operas has not merely a perceptible attraction. It has also an element of poetic value if not in itself at any rate in the allurements that it holds out to the richest inspirations of the musician. Wagner as a musician excels in painting great landscapes; or more exactly in evoking for the imagination the hidden springs and profound rhythms of the natural forces manifested in the powerful undulations of a river's volume, the graceful or majestic course of the clouds, the murmurs of the trees, the play of light and shadow. His fantastic scenes are developed in the midst of these phenomena of nature, which may be said to take no less important a part in them than the characters themselves. Yet it is very necessary that the latter should hold their own place in the scheme. Whatever influence picturesque or musical considerations may have had on the turn given by Wagner to the story of the ''Nibelungen'', he was bound, since he was making a drama out of it, to be pre-occupied with representing human nature. But to what extent could this preoccupation he reconciled with the double intention guiding the artist's pen, to display a scene of fantasy and to symbolise ideas?

Presently his voice was heard in a sort of halloo. “How much fudder is got for go?” “How high up are you?” asked Legrand. “Ebber so fur,” replied the negro; “can see de sky fru de top ob de tree.” “Never mind the sky, but attend to what I say. Look down the trunk and count the limbs below you on this side. How many limbs have you passed?” “One, two, tree, four, fibe—I done pass fibe big limb, massa, pon dis side.” “Then go one limb higher.” In a few minutes the voice was heard again, announcing that the seventh limb was attained. “Now, Jup,” cried Legrand, evidently much excited, “I want you to work your way out upon that limb as far as you can. If you see anything strange let me know.” By this time what little doubt I might have entertained of my poor friend’s insanity was put finally at rest. I had no alternative but to conclude him stricken with lunacy, and I became seriously anxious about getting him home. While I was pondering upon what was best to be done, Jupiter’s voice was again heard. “Mos’ feerd for to venture pon dis limb berry far—’its dead limb putty much all de way.” “Did you say it was a dead limb, Jupiter?” cried Legrand in a quavering voice. “Yes, massa, him dead as de doormail—done up for sartain—done departed dis here life.” “What in the name of heaven shall I do?” asked Legrand, seemingly in the greatest distress. “Do!” said I, glad of an opportunity to interpose a word, “why come home and go to bed. Come now!—that’s a fine fellow. It’s getting late, and, besides, you remember your promise.” “Jupiter,” cried he, without heeding me in the least, “do you hear me?” “Yes, Massa Will, hear you ebber so plain.” “Try the wood well, then, with your knife, and see if you think it ''very'' rotten.” “Him rotten, massa, sure nuff,” replied the negro in a few moments,<noinclude>{{c|140}}</div></noinclude> parlgnnihi6lgwceh7yne20ocxhdtax Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/188 104 4018909 12507339 2022-07-24T21:29:05Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|174|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>preserve to any extent worth mentioning the liberty of feeling and thinking like natural beings. Between these two obligations, of which the second is no less mechanical than the first, the margin left for the manifestation of life and human truth is likely to be very much reduced. It is not reduced to nothing. There are in the ''Tetralogy'' a few expressions of real humanity, some natural touches drawn from life. Fricka really does resemble a jealous wife, domineering and of narrow outlook, and her domestic scenes with Wotan are sometimes good comedy—not divine, but middle-class. There is a spirit of pleasantry in the dialogues of Mime and Siegfried, which though very Germanic does {{SIC|does}} not lack wit or relief; they have the moralist's touch. Siegried is agreeable, if one puts aside the anarchic signification of his personality; but the author too has been careful not to let that be explained to him. This young Hercules charms not only by the splendour of his physical youth, but also by a certain child-like quality of heart. Brünnhilde is tiresome, with her final prophesy, to which nothing led up in her career as wild amazon, artless lover of even as betrayed wife, for she was only that in a roundabout way, and the experience cannot have taught her much about humanity. Apart from this point, why should this Sleeping Beauty be any more unwelcome in the Tetralogy than in a fairy story by Perrault? Take them all round, all these figures are pretty elementary. To us these persons give the effect of elements quite as much as persons.

She was to stay there until the Monday following, that she might be at Ramsey, to bid good-bye to Michael Sunlocks on the eve of his departure for Iceland. Three days more Sunlocks spent at Government House; and on the morning of Friday, being fully ready and his leather trunk gone on before in care of Chalse A'Killey, who would suffer no one else to carry it, he was mounted for his journey on the little roan Goldie, when up came the Governor astride his cob. "I'll just set you as far as Ballasalla," he said jauntily, and they rode away together. All the week through, since their sad talk on Easter-Day, old Adam had affected a wondrous cheerfulness, and now he laughed mightily as they rode along, and winked his grey eyes knowingly like a happy child's, until sometimes from one cause or other the big drops came into them. The morning was fresh and sweet, with the earth full of gladness and the air of song, though Michael Sunlocks was little touched by its beauty, and thought it the heaviest he had yet seen. But Adam told how the spring was toward, and the lambs in fold, and the heifers thriving, and how the April rain would bring potatoes down to sixpence a kishen, and fetch up the grass in such a crop that the old island would rise—why not? ha, ha, ha!—to the opulence and position of a state. But rattle on as he would, he could neither banish the heavy looks of Michael Sunlocks nor make light the weary heart he bore himself. So he began to rally the lad, and say how little he would have thought of a trip to Iceland in his old days at Guinea; that it was only a hop, skip, and a jump after all, and, bless his old soul, if he wouldn't cut across some day to see him between Tynwald and Midsummer—and many a true word was said in jest. Soon they came by Rushen Abbey at Ballasalla, and then old Adam could hold back no longer what he had come to say. "You'll see your father before you sail," he said, "and I'm thinking he'll give you a better reason for going than he has given to me; but if not, and Bishop John and the Latin school is all his end and intention, remember our good Manx saying, that 'Learning is fine clothes to the rich man, and riches to the poor one.'

Poor Wotan! His title of monarch of the gods, his lance, the mystery of his single eye, confer on him a seeming majesty. But strip him of these external attributes, and what a fall is there! From beginning to end his role is nothing but one long lament. And what does he lament? Some misfortune that has befallen him? Not at all, but his faults, and especially the fundamental irresolution of his mind, which knows not how to will or to refuse. In a mere mortal this complaining would be wearisome. Is it less so in a god? One may certainly say that it is very incongruous on his lips. Treated in a humorous or satiric vein the character might be excellent. This upholder of order who proclaims himself weary and disgusted with order, and who yet defends it by his acts while undermining it by his words, this monarch who is constantly saying or insinuating to those whom he believes capable of strong action, "Overthrow me! But take care how you go about it, it's not easily done!" who secretly puts the means of doing so in their way, and who when the scheme fails shows himself merciless in repression from fear of his conservative wife—this is a type that might be very successful if done in the style of Aristophanes. It is certainly not from this point of view that Wagner has drawn him; he has made up his mind to attribute greatness to him, a greatness superior to that of gods and kings who believe in the principles of their trade as rulers and who practise it with conscience and conviction. But why should I pretend not to understand? Wotan is indeed great from the point of view of anarchist philosophy.

The guardian of the laws who applies them while groaning over them. To grasp, as far as possible, Wagner's intention we must understand Law in the most general sense—political laws, social laws, laws of morality, intelligence and thought, rules, institutions, discipline of every kind; these are what Wotan personifies, these are what must perish with the power and reign of Wotan. All this general body of principles of order Wagner sums up somewhere in one word. He calls it "the Monumental." He desires and foretells the crumbling away of the Monumental, and contrasts its detestable fixity with what, in a jargon which has unfortunately passed from Germany to France, he calls "Life." Like all romantic and revolutionary natures, he is incapable of understanding that the "Order" which offers itself and acts as a destroyer of living forces is not Order, but Routine; that real Order is the support and mainstay of spontaneous energies, and that the latter if not guided and kept in their channel by fixed elements are doomed to sterility and wretched waste. This error shows the violence of impulses where reason is weak. But what am I saying? There is one sphere in which Wagner is as far as possible from committing this error. That sphere is music. There he is not at all inclined to despise the Monumental; on the contrary, he glorifies it, he declares himself a thorough conservative, and never has a professor of harmony, counterpoint or composition preached the respect and sanctity of rules with such decisive energy. The fact is that music corresponded to the strong side of his brain.

But upon what a confused region we should have to enter! It appears that before Wotan became master of the world, the founder and guardian of the laws, he too had lived the free life of Love—unfortunately he wearied of it, and this fatigue is symbolised in a ridiculous fashion by the quarrels of the elderly divine household. He conceived an ambition for Power, a desire for Gold and for Knowledge. To satisfy the last he sought the help of Erda, who is primitive and eternal Wisdom (Ur-Weisheit). But by doing this he worked for his own ruin. Power, Gold and Knowledge are the joint agents of destruction, the inseparable powers of death. Here let us recognise in a peculiarly muddled and deliquescent form the absurdities of Rousseau's discourse against civilisation. And that we may ourselves limit discreetly our thirst for knowledge, I mean rather our desire to interpret and reconcile all these ideologies, let us reflect that the thread of ideas is not Wagner's only guide in the world of ideas. He is guided quite as much by considerations of the picturesque. If the arrangement of some of his episodes is prompted by reasons of symbolism, others are what they are only for reasons of scenic picturesqueness, but take on a symbolic meaning after completion. This point shows the child-like simplicity and lack of common-sense of those critics who enquire too seriously what were Wagner's thoughts. The fairy story of the ''Ring'' is wrapped in clouds, some arising from the author's intentions, others emanating from the story itself. {{dhr}} {{c|VI}} The care with which I have sought to distinguish the<noinclude></noinclude> a2zd9hpf86lqqpcwjj2hega35zkpgx0 Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/192 104 4018914 12507360 2022-07-24T21:38:17Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|178|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>various elements of invention in this huge work will enable me to speak with brevity of ''Tristan'' and ''Parsifal'', which were created after the same formula.

The frame within which it is developed, the circumstances of each scene add to the tragedy of guilty passion a sort of magical effect in which may be recognised the old Celtic imagination that invented this story of love and death. The vessel at sea, the fond tender avowal made over the symbolic abyss of the waters at the very mouth of the harbour where the royal bridegroom, already betrayed, awaits his bride, the meeting by night in the park, where far away are heard the muffled sounds of hunting calls, the torch waved from the top of the tower as a danger signal, Tristan on his bed of pain spending his days looking out to sea for the white sail that will tell him of Yseult's return,—it would be idle to deny the poignancy and strength of the hold on our feelings exercised by all these images, animated as they are by powerful and pulsing music. It is wiser to point out their dangers, and ask whether the extreme attractions of this poetic atmosphere do not serve as a deceptive wrapping for contents that are by no means proportionately valuable. Let us consider by themselves the themes of the action. There is one of these that is of low quality, one might almost call it brutal; by repercussion it lowers the quality of all the others. This is the philtre, the love potion poured out for Tristan and Yseult by Brangaine. True, it is not this potion which gives birth to their passion.

But sooner than yield to it, sooner than commit a triple felony against a husband who is his king, and who has entrusted to his honour the protection of his beloved wife, Tristan, and with him Yseult drawn in to share his sacrifice, would prefer to die. A violent solution, and very short, so to speak.—An infinitely preferable one, I will not say from the moral point of view, but from the point of view of art, which would gain from it far greater richness, real pathos and variety, would be the struggle of will against desire. But it is not even this solution which is adopted. It is a worse one. Inspired by a criminal devotion, the nurse Brangaine substitutes for the poison prepared for the joint suicide the irresistible love philtre. These noble lovers, imagining they are drinking death from the cup, drink delirium. When they put down the empty cup they have lost their moral liberty, that is to say their moral grandeur itself. They step down from the ship drunk and staggering with passion. They are no longer masters of themselves. They become frenzied victims of hallucination. Their souls undergo a terrible simplification. And the philtre not only delivers them over to this fury of a passion whose sinful character they are no longer capable of realising. It has another effect on them, not less inhuman but far more extraordinary; it gives them over without any intellectual protection to the extreme suggestions of Schopenhauer's philosophy, or at least the philosophy of Schopenhauer as interpreted by Wagner.

So saying, he thrust into the lad's hand a roll of fifty Manx pound notes, and then seemed about to whip away. But Michael Sunlocks had him by the sleeve before he could turn his horse's head. "Bless me yourself," the lad said. And then Adam Fairbrother, with all his poor bankrupt whimseys gone from his upturned face, now streaming wet, and with his white hair gently lifted by the soft morning breeze, rose in the saddle and laid his hand on Michael's drooping head and blessed him. And so they parted, not soon to meet again, or until many a strange chance had befallen both. It was on the morning of the day following that Michael Sunlocks rode into Port-y-Vullin. If he could have remembered how he had left it, as an infant in his father's arms, perhaps the task he had set himself would have been an easier one. He was trying to crush down his shame, and it was very hard to do. He was thinking that, go where he would, he must henceforth bear his father's name. Stephen Orry was waiting for him, having been there three days, not living in the little hut, but washing it, cleaning it, drying it, airing it, and kindling fires in it, that by such close labour of half a week it might be worthy that his son should cross its threshold for half an hour. He had never slept in it since he had nailed up the door after the death of 'Liza Killey, and as an unblessed place it had been safe from the intrusion of others. He saw Michael Sunlocks riding up, and raised his cap to him as he alighted, saying "Sir" to him, and bowing as he did so. There were deep scars on his face and head, his hands were scratched and discoloured, his cheeks were furrowed with wrinkles, and about his whole person there was a strong odour as of tobacco, tar, and bilge-water. "I shall not have ought to ask you here, sir," he said, in his broken English. "Call me Michael," the lad answered, and then they went into the hut. The place was not much more cheerful than of old, but still dark, damp, and ruinous; and Michael Sunlocks, at the thought that he himself had been born there, and that his mother had<noinclude></noinclude> sa10or7ybvypzpo69s5rcrjm9lb6yov Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/194 104 4018917 12507367 2022-07-24T21:40:45Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|180|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>guide; from that time he never ceased to mingle his teaching with everything, to resolve all kinds of problems after his principles. But what is most singular, and what gives one of the most characteristic signs of the gulf that exists between German and French natures, is that Schopenhauer's ideas set their stamp upon the late ardent and painful love passion which he experienced in his forty-third year, and which inspired him to write ''Tristan''. There worked in him, in his sentiments and sensations, a combination of Schopenhauerian metaphysics, and amorous delirium which seems to us far from natural, and yet it acquired an explosive force in this Germanic soul. Schopenhauer's morality counsels the annihilation of desire, promising us as the goal of this effort entrance into some undefined state of divine slumber, some kind of pantheistic paradise in which all the movements of life expire and individuality disappears. And it would seem at first sight that nothing could be more opposed to this passion for the void than the exaltation of love. But neither Wagner nor his heroes feel it thus. For Tristan and his beloved, love's supreme cry is a summons to the void; the expiration of desire in death is the very object of desire carried to its paroxysm. And this is not as one might suppose a sudden flash of imagination quickly dying out, that crosses their brains under the stroke of sensual madness. It is a steadily maintained idea. It is their one idea. It is the theme of their outpourings. They turn it over and over in all its aspects, which are terribly lacking in variety. They shout to "Day," that is to say Life, to be gone, and to "Night," which is the Kingdom of Death, to descend upon them and<noinclude></noinclude> 16jl6w21fd46kxkfzyddu2eojx6hfhf Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/195 104 4018918 12507370 2022-07-24T21:42:03Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|181|WAGNER THE POET|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>wrap them round. They dream of the delights of perfect union by the annihilation of individual conscience. They analyse these delights with unrestrained and minute dialectic; they harp on them with a kind of incandescent monotony. I would not be thought insensible to the charms of the love music in ''Tristan''. I am, I imagine, as much touched by it as anyone. It has enchanting passages, in which the musician's inspiration is softened and humanised, in which the breath of night and the beatings of the heart seem to join in giving out a melody full of tenderness. But ought these celebrated passages to make us forget all those others quivering with a strident and sterile frenzy, that makes up for the eloquence of which it is incapable by the fury of repeated blows? Should they conceal from us the general spirit of the work? Oh, that spirit! let us not hesitate to reject it, to banish it far, very far, from us; for we are the children of humaner races who have ever found in natural healthiness and happy fulness of heart the true sources of beauty. As regards ''Parsifal'', its Christian aspect has caused the novelty of this drama as a feature in Wagner's work to be much exaggerated. Wagner composed a large part of it out of his oldest ideas. In it we meet again the Knights of the Grail, who had already inspired not only his ''Lohengrin'', but also a certain apocalyptic vision of universal history, a cloudy legend of the Ages (the ''Wibelungen'') outlined immediately after 1848, of which the Holy Grail forms the mystic centre. And what is Parsifal but Siegfried, a Siegfried chaste and ascetic, it is true, but still deriving from his candour as a "primitive," and from his childlike and utter ignorance of laws and men<noinclude></noinclude> i1t4dfv62s5cnbpxgj5lsie14f1x2di Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/196 104 4018919 12507372 2022-07-24T21:43:15Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|182|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>the virtue which makes him a redeemer? The data of ''Parsifal'' when considered closely appear the most incoherent that Wagner ever collected, and it is only the theatrical beauty of the decorative images accompanying them that save this incoherence from being unbearable when the work is performed. We are not forgetting that the music of the religious scenes in ''Parsifal'' will remain among the finest creations of universal art. But that is no sort of reason for respecting what calls for derision, or if you prefer it a yawn. I mean the ideology, the spurious hermetism of this work. This hermetism is nothing but an impressionism, often puerile, putting on airs of deep thought. It is concentrated in the figure of the enigmatic Kundry, over whom the simplicity of some commentators has exhausted its efforts, without their perceiving that the ease with which a hundred meanings each more elusive than the last can be found in Kundry must have some explanation, and an unfortunate one. Kundry is the amorphous conglomeration under one proper name of a thousand confused scraps of sensations, abstractions and dreams. It must be noted that already in some parts of ''Tristan'', Wagner had adopted a form of utterance that does not seek to have any particular sense, but aims only at the voluptuously vague impression engendered by a certain mellowness of sound in the words and syllables. Kundry is created by the same process. And it was this aspect of Wagner that exercised some attraction over our symbolist school of 1890. {{dhr}} {{c|VII}} There is one idea that one finds again and again in all Wagner's works; it occupies a dominant place<noinclude></noinclude> 7qw8mv3ubacpnzezg3lzolqsxvfgde1 Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/197 104 4018920 12507374 2022-07-24T21:44:42Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|183|WAGNER THE POET|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>in them and forms, one might say, the leit-motif of his dramatic poetry. That idea is "redemption." In all his operas someone or something is redeemed, and the principal character is the redeemer, male or female. The fidelity of Senta redeems the Flying Dutchman from the curse which constrained him to wander eternally upon the seas unable to die. The pious death of Elizabeth redeems Tannhäuser from the servitude of debauchery. Siegfried redeems the old world from the reign of the Laws and from the tyranny of Gold. Lohengrin, Elsa, Parsifal are redeemers. The persistence of this theme has struck several critics, who with infectious gravity have drawn the attention of their contemporaries to "the problem of redemption in the work of Richard Wagner." Thereupon they have embroidered all kinds of comments. But these comments seem to me quite wide of the mark, and I am not convinced of the need of this gravity. Why? Because I do not see the problem. There are in fact two alternatives. Either Wagner has only applied (as in ''Tannhäuser'' and up to a certain point in ''Parsifal'') the Christian idea of the Redemption, and in that case the question is no more bound up with his work than with all other literary works written in the last nineteen hundred years in which this dogma is postulated: or on the other hand we have to deal, as in the ''Nibelungen Ring'', with some romantic, socialistic, humanitarian, and necessarily confused transposition of the Christian idea; in that case there is no problem, only a tangle. Wagner as artist, as a being of exceptional sensibility, feels with peculiar keenness the social evils that belong to modern humanity. But the notion which he forms of them<noinclude></noinclude> f96xi2nrgf0t55jtu8bbo7vnvrnv6lx Page:The Spirit of French Music.djvu/198 104 4018921 12507377 2022-07-24T21:45:47Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rvh|184|<chapter>|THE SPIRIT OF FRENCH MUSIC }}</noinclude>is a hundred times more clouded and more puerile than what may be observed in the most unbridled French visionaries. It fittingly corresponds with the dream of a mystic revelation rising from the depths of nature to bring to these evils their remedy. Visions like these have lost their power to attract. But there exists to-day a widespread tendency which is only too closely related to the most general tendency of Wagner's ideas, though it presents itself under more insidious, learned and subtle forms. I refer to a certain contempt for reason, thought, and experience, a certain pretension to eliminate from the formation of human opinions and beliefs, from the creation of works of the mind, the share taken by operations of reason and the guidance of criticism. All Wagner's written work breathes this feeling. What is it that gives all these redeemers of either sex their virtue? What is it that makes them agents of regeneration and salvation, revealers of truth? It is their ignorance, the fact that they are all instinct and sensibility, that they are "life" and pure spontaneity, with no element of knowledge. We have heard enough harping on this strain underlying more involved expressions. I am still waiting for those who take pleasure in it to show us or produce, in any art form they please, anything successful, consistent, and not stillborn, that is not based on the calculations of strong and close reasoning. This is the most irritating aspect of the Wagnerian ideology. I have called Wagner's works dramas, but the term applies to their external appearance rather than to their nature and true quality.

Take away from them all the rubbish of symbolic significations, foggy abstractions obscuring ideas that are more childishly simple than is usually supposed, and what remains of these strange compositions ought to be called by its true name, poetic fantasies. They remind one of frescoes or rather of moving tapestries that unroll before our view natural and fantastic scenes of a heavy and expensive colouring, figures of strong and outstanding picturesqueness, but almost without life. This essentially German art form has its charm; it is free from vulgarity. There is no error of taste in taking pleasure in it, so long as it is only a petty pleasure, such as we might feel in some wonderful Nuremberg doll, which no Frenchman could possibly confuse with a statue by Houdon. I am considering these picturesque and poetic elements apart from the music which lends them lustre and wraps them in its brilliant charm. We shall now have to bring them again in contact with the music, as one brings together the terms of a problem after analysing them separately. It is for musical criticism to say to what extent and in what sense Wagner's music transfigures the themes of his poems. But if his music is of the same nature as his poetry, it may be presumed that in the marvels it has succeeded in rendering real, the enthusiasm of a very powerful German imagination for rich theatrical effects has generally speaking had more share than the pure inspirations of the heart and the subtleties of the mind.<noinclude></noinclude> 1jsgkm84btg2xq4qu1nvqka6d91qlqb Category:Errors reported by Module String 14 4018923 12507382 2022-07-24T21:49:49Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 Created page with "[[Category:Pages with script errors]]" wikitext text/x-wiki [[Category:Pages with script errors]] g8qgfxzqgflwkc81ge50ba4fs53peu9 12507383 12507382 2022-07-24T21:50:04Z CalendulaAsteraceae 2973212 wikitext text/x-wiki __HIDDENCAT__ [[Category:Pages with script errors]] ol9btjeh3heerlgg4x2wv5e39dtkla6 Page:The Bondman; A New Saga (IA bondmannewsaga00cain).djvu/83 104 4018924 12507386 2022-07-24T21:52:15Z Uzume 173317 /* Not proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Uzume" />{{rvh|65|{{i|{{uc|{{#switch:1|{{#expr:65 < 103}}=The Book of Stephen Orry|{{#expr:65 < 237}}=The Book of Michael Sunlocks|{{#expr:65 < 340}}=The Book of Red Jason|1=Epilogue}}}}.}}|{{i|{{uc|The Bondman}}.}}}}</noinclude>lived her shameful life and died her dishonoured death there, found the gall again in his throat. "I have something that I shall have say to you," said Stephen Orry, "but I cannot well speak English. Not all the years through I never shall have learn it." And then, as if by a sudden thought, he spoke six words in his native Icelandic, and glanced quickly into the face of Michael Sunlocks. At the next instant the great rude fellow was crying like a child. He had seen that Michael understood him. And Michael, on his part, seemed at the sound of those words to find something melt at his heart, something fall from his eyes. "Call me Michael," he said once more. "I am your son;" and then they talked together, Stephen Orry in the Icelandic, Michael Sunlocks in English. "I've not been a good father to you, Michael, never coming to see you all these years. But I wanted you to grow up a better man than your father before you. A man may be bad, but he doesn't like his son to feel ashamed of him. And I was afraid to see it in your face, Michael. That's why I stayed away. But many a time I felt hungry after my little lad, that I loved so dear and nursed so long, like any mother might. And hearing of him sometimes, and how well he looked and how tall he grew, maybe I didn't think the less about him for not coming down upon him to shame him." "Stop, father, stop," said Michael Sunlocks. "My son," said Stephen Orry," you are going back to your father's country. It's nineteen years since he left it, and he hadn't lived a good life there. You'll meet many a one your father knew, and maybe some your father did wrong by. He can't undo the bad work now. There's a sort of wrongdoing there's no mending once it's done, and that's the sort his was. It was against a woman. Some people seem to be sent into this world to be punished for the sins of others. Women are mostly that way, though there are those that are not; but she was one of them. It'll be made up to them in the other world; and if she has gone there, she has taken some of my sins along with her own—if she had any, and I never heard tell of any. But if she is in this world still, perhaps it can be partly made up to her here. Only it is not for me to do it, seeing what has happened since. Michael, that's why you are going to my country now."

Then of her threat and his flight and his coming to that island; of his meeting with 'Liza, of his base marriage with the woman and the evil days they spent together; of their child's birth, and his own awful resolve in his wretchedness and despair; and then of the woman's death, wherein the Almighty God had surely turned to mercy what was meant for vengeance. All this he told, and more than this, sparing himself not at all. And Michael listened with a bewildered sense of fear and shame, and love and sorrow, that may not be described, growing hot and cold by turns, rising from his seat and sinking back again, looking round the walls with a chill terror, as the scenes they had witnessed seemed to come back to them before his eyes, feeling at one moment a great horror of the man before him, and at the next a great pity, and then clutching his father's huge hands in his own nervous fingers. "Now you know all," said Stephen Orry, "and why it is not for me to go back to her. There is another woman between us, God forgive me, and dead though she is, that woman will be there for ever. But she who is yonder, in my own country, if she is living, is my wife. And Heaven pity her, she is where I left her—down, down, down among the dregs of life. She has no one to protect and none to help her. She is deserted for her father's sake, and despised for mine. Michael, will you go to her?" The sudden question recalled the lad from a painful reverie. He had been thinking of his own position, and that even his father's name, which an hour ago he had been ashamed to bear, was not his own to claim. But Stephen Orry had never once thought of this, or that the dead woman who stood between him and Rachel also stood between Rachel and her son. "Promise me, promise me," he cried, seeing one thing only—that Michael was his son, that his son was as himself, and that the woman who was dead had been as a curse to both of them.

The subject of the former is taken from Lucian's account of the picture by Apelles, which Alberti quoted in his "Treatise on Painting," but the fierce strife of factions in Florence, and the tragedy of Savonarola's end, may well have stirred the master to paint this allegory of the violence and injustice of man. The scene is laid in a stately portico adorned with antique statues, where King Midas, wearied by the importunities of Suspicion and Ignorance, receives Calumny, a richly-clad woman, who drags the prostrate youth Innocence by the hair. Envy, Treachery, and Intrigue attend her steps, and Remorse, an old hag in ragged clothes, looks back regretfully at Truth, who, standing deserted and alone, points upwards in calm certainty that her mute appeal will be heard in heaven. Through the pillars of the open loggia we look out on a wide waste of waters, bounded by no further shore, which gives an indefinable sense of dreariness—the expression of the painter's conviction that truth and justice were nowhere to be found on earth. The Nativity was painted a few months after that November evening when Sandro extorted Doffo Spini's confession of the martyred friar's innocence, and a Greek inscription on the panel explains its mystic intention: {{smaller block/s}} "This picture I, Alessandro, painted at the end of the year 1500, in the troubles of Italy, in the half-time after the time, during the fulfilment of the Eleventh of St. John, in the Second<noinclude>{{smaller block/e}}</noinclude> swnztcw81eqt0sr7o02a8tvr5v3xb5f Page:The Bondman; A New Saga (IA bondmannewsaga00cain).djvu/85 104 4018929 12507452 2022-07-24T22:25:56Z Uzume 173317 /* Not proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Uzume" />{{rvh|67|{{i|{{uc|{{#switch:1|{{#expr:67 < 103}}=The Book of Stephen Orry|{{#expr:67 < 237}}=The Book of Michael Sunlocks|{{#expr:67 < 340}}=The Book of Red Jason|1=Epilogue}}}}.}}|{{i|{{uc|The Bondman}}.}}}}</noinclude>then, and saying to myself how some day he'd go back for me to my own country, when I had made the money to send him." Michael trembled visibly. "And how he'd look for her, and find her, and save her, if she was alive. And if she wasn't—if she was dead, poor girl, with all her troubles over, how he'd look for the child that was to come when I left her—my child and hers—and find it where it would surely be, in want and dirt and misery, and then save it for its mother's sake and mine. Michael, will you go?" But still Michael Sunlocks made him no answer. "It's fourteen years since God spared your life to me; just fourteen years to-night, Michael. I remembered it, and that's why we are here now. When I brought you back in my arms {{i|she}} was there at my feet, lying dead, who had been my rod and punishment.

"My son, my son—Michael, my little Sunlocks, I want to keep my vow. Will you go?" "Yes, yes," cried Michael, rising suddenly. His doubt and pride and shame were gone. He felt only a great tenderness now for the big rude man, who had sinned deeply and suffered much, and found that all he could do alone would avail him nothing. "Father, where is she?" "I left her at Reykjavík, but I don't know where she is now." "No matter; I will hunt the world over until I find her, and when I have found her, I will be as a son to her, and she shall be as a mother to me." "My boy, my boy!" cried Stephen. "If she should die, and we should never meet, I will hunt the world over until I find her child, and when I have found it I will be as a brother to it for my father's sake." "My son, my son!" cried Stephen. And in the exultation of that moment, when he tried to speak but no words would come, and only his rugged cheeks glistened and his red eyes shone, it seemed to Stephen Orry that the burden of twenty heavy years had been lifted away.{{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 9q5kep34d1u55lxi01tjje13to7b143 Page:The Gilded Age - Twain - 1874.pdf/337 104 4018930 12507454 2022-07-24T22:26:25Z Stamlou 1217106 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Stamlou" />{{rvh|309|{{fine|EXHIBITION OF WOMANLY DEVOTION.}}}}</noinclude>''Mrs. O.''—"Yes. So he set his leg and bandaged it up, and fixed his ribs and gave him a dose of something to quiet down his excitement and put him to sleep—poor thing he was trembling and frightened to death and it was pitiful to see him. We had him in my bed—Mr. Oreillé slept in the guest room and I laid down beside François—but not to sleep —bless you no. Bridget and I set up all night, and the doctor staid till two in the morning, bless his old heart. When mother got there she was so used up with anxiety that she had to go to bed and have the doctor; but when she found that François was not in immediate danger she rallied, and by night she was able to take a watch herself. Well for three days and nights we three never left that bedside only to take an hour's nap at a time. And then the doctor said François was out of danger and if ever there was a thankful set, in this world, it was us." Laura's respect for these women had augmented during this conversation, naturally enough; affection and devotion are qualities that are able to adorn and render beautiful a character that is otherwise unattractive, and even repulsive. ''Mrs. Gashly.''—"I do believe I should a died if I had been in your place, Mrs. Oreillé. The time Hildebrand was so low with the pneumonia Emmeline and me were all alone with him most of the time and we never took a minute's sleep for as much as two days and nights. It was at Newport and we wouldn't trust hired nurses. One afternoon he had a fit, and jumped up and run out on the portico of the hotel with nothing in the world on and the wind a blowing like ice and we after him scared to death; and when the ladies and gentlemen saw that he had a fit, every lady scattered for her room and not a gentleman lifted his hand to help, the wretches! Well after that his life hung by a thread for as much as ten days, and the minute he was out of danger Emmeline and me just went to bed sick and worn out.

Several additional reasons of considerable force, will occur, to fortify that probability, when we come to survey, with a more critical eye, the interior structure of the edifice which we are invited to erect. It w ill be sufficient here to remark, that until satisfactory reasons can be assigned to justify an opinion, that the federal government is likely to be administered in such a manner as to render it odious or contemptible to the people, there can be no reasonable foundation for the supposition, that the laws of the union will meet with any greater obstruction from them, or will stand in need of any other methods to enforce their execution, than the laws of the particular members. The hope of impunity, is a strong incitement to sedition: the dread of punishment, a proportionably strong discouragement to it.

The ''scarabæus'' hung quite clear of any branches, and, if allowed to fall, would have fallen at our feet. Legrand immediately took the scythe, and cleared with it a circular space, three or four yards in diameter, just beneath the insect, and, having accomplished this, ordered Jupiter to let go the string and come down from the tree. Driving a peg, with great nicety, into the ground, at the precise spot where the beetle fell, my friend now produced from his pocket a tapes measure. Fastening one end of this at that point of the trunk of the tree which was nearest the peg, he unrolled it till it reached the peg and thence further unrolled it, in the direction already established by the two points of the tree and the peg, for the distance of fifty feet—Jupiter clearing away the brambles with the scythe. At the spot thus attained a second peg was driven, and about this, as a centre, a cude circle, about four feet in diameter, described. Taking now a spade himself, and giving one to Jupiter and one to me, Legrand begged us to set about digging as quickly as possible. To speak the truth, I had no especial relish for such amusement at any time, and, at that particular moment, would most willingly have declined it; for the night was coming on, and I felt much fatigued with the exercise already taken; but I saw no mode of escape, and was fearful of disturbing my poor friend’s equanimity by a refusal. Could I have depended, indeed, upon Jupiter’s aid, I would have had no hesitation in attempting to get the lunatic home by force; but I was too well assured of the old negro’s disposition to hope that he would assist me, under any circumstances, in a personal contest with his master. I made no doubt that the latter had been infected with some of the innumerable Southern superstitions about money buried, and that his phantasy had received confirmation by the finding of the ''scarabæus'', or, perhaps, by Jupiter’s obstinacy in maintaining it to be “a bug of real gold.” A mind disposed to lunacy would readily be led away by such suggestions—espe{{peh}}<noinclude>{{c|142}}</div></noinclude> pgu4o55jqytip6a71bux7deg6a6i6vb Page:Trial of john lilburne (IA trial john lilburne).djvu/80 104 4018935 12507474 2022-07-24T22:38:17Z Shells-shells 3021170 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Shells-shells" />{{c|(66)}}</noinclude>Commanders, and to set them in mutiny and rebellion against the publick peace, and to manifest contempt of the Lawes of this Common-wealth, and free State, and against the forme of the Statutes in this Case made and provided.

The lanterns having been lit, we all fell to work with a zeal worthy a more rational cause; and, as the glare fell upon our persons and implements, I could not help thinking how picturesque a group we composed, and how strange and suspicious our labours must have appeared to any interloper who, by chance, might have stumbled upon our whereabouts. We dug very steadily for two hours. Little was said; and our chief embarrassment lay in the yelpings of the dog, who took exceeding interest in our proceedings. He, at length, became so obstreperous that we grew fearful of his giving the alarm to some stragglers in the vicinity,—or, rather, this was the apprehension of Legrand;—for myself, I should have rejoiced at any interruption which might have enabled me to get the wanderer home. The noise was, at length, very effectually silenced by Jupiter, who, getting out of the hole with a dogged air of deliberation, tied the brute’s mouth up with one of his suspenders, and then returned, with a grave chuckle, to his task. When. the time mentioned had expired, we had reached a depth of five feet, and yet no signs of any treasure became manifest. A general pause ensued, and I began to hope that the farce was at an end. Legrand, however, although evidently much disconcerted, wiped his brow thoughtfully and recommenced. We had excavated the entire circle of four feet diameter, and now we slightly enlarged the limit, and went to the farther depth of two feet. Still nothing appeared. The gold-seeker, whom I sincerely pitied, at length clambered from the pit, with the bitterest disappointment imprinted upon every feature, and proceeded, slowly and reluctantly, to put on his coat, which he had thrown off at the beginning of his labour. In the meantime I made no remark. Jupiter, at a signal from his master, began to gather up his tools. This done, and the dog having been unmuzzled, we turned in profound silence toward home. We had taken, perhaps, a dozen steps in this direction, when, with a loud oath, Legrand strode up to Jupiter, and seized him by the collar. The astonished negro opened his eyes and mouth to the fullest extent, let fall the spades, and fell upon his knees. “You scoundrel!” said Legrand, hissing out the syllables from between his clenched teeth—" you infernal black villain!—speak, I tell you!—<noinclude>{{c|143}}</div></noinclude> hzukzr34ofkkntylyq2fvi3mjwehzpp Page:MU KPB 015 Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination.pdf/196 104 4018937 12507487 2022-07-24T22:49:33Z RaboKarbakian 2427564 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="RaboKarbakian" />{{rvh2|144|chapter|{{uc|Tales of Mystery and Imagination}}|&nbsp;}}<div class="story"></noinclude>answer me this instant, without prevarication!—which—which is your left eye?” “Oh, my golly, Massa Will! ain’t dis here my lef eye for sartain?” roared the terrified Jupiter, placing his hand upon his ''right'' organ of vision, and holding it there with a desperate pertinacity, as if in immediate dread of his master’s attempt at a gouge. “I thought so!—I knew it! hurrah!” vociferated Legrand, letting the negro go, and executing a series of curvets and caracols, much to the astonishment of his valet, who, arising from his knees, looked, mutely, from his master to myself, and then from myself to his master. “Come! we must go back,” said the latter, “the game's not up yet”; and he again led the way to the tulip-tree. “Jupiter,” said he, when we reached its foot, “come here! was the skull nailed to the limb with the face outward, or with the face to the limb?” “De face was out, massa, so dat de crows could get at de eyes good, widout any trouble.” “Well, then, was it this eye or that through which you dropped the beetle?” here Legrand touched each of Jupiter's eyes. “Twas dis eye, massa—de lef eye—jis as you tell me,”—and here it was his right eye that the negro indicated. “That will do—we must try it again.” Here my friend, about whose madness I now saw, or fancied that I saw, certain indications of method, removed the peg which marked the spot where the beetle fell to a spot about three inches to the westward of its former position. Taking, now, the tape measure from the nearest point of the trunk to the peg, as before, and continuing the extension in a straight line to the distance of fifty feet, a spot was indicated, removed, by several yards, from the point at which we had been digging. Around the new position a circle, somewhat larger than in the former instance, was now described, and we again set to work with the spade. I was dreadfully weary, but, scarcely understanding what had occasioned the change in my thoughts, I felt no longer any great aversion from the labour imposed. I had become most unaccountably interested—nay, even excited. Perhaps there was something, amid all the extravagant demeanour of Legrand—some air of forethought, or of deliberation, which impressed me. I dug eagerly, and now and then caught myself actually looking, with something that very much resembled expectation, for the fancied treasure, the vision of which had demented my unfortunate companion.

If it came to choice and it might come to that, sooner or later—she believed she could come to a decision without much difficulty or many pangs. But the best aristocracy of the three Washington castes, and really the most powerful, by far, was that of the Middle Ground. It was made up of the families of public men from nearly every state in the Union—men who held positions in both the executive and legislative branches of the government, and whose characters had been for years blemishless, both at home and at the capital. These gentlemen and their households were unostentations people; they were educated and refined; they troubled themselves but little about the two other orders of nobility, but moved serenely in their wide orbit, confident in their own strength and well aware of the potency of their influence.

They could afford to mind their own affairs and leave other combinations to do the same or do otherwise, just as they chose. They were people who were beyond reproach, and that was sufficient. Senator Dilworthy never came into collision with any of these factions. He labored for them all and with them all. He said that all men were brethren and all were entitled to the honest unselfish help and countenance of a Christian laborer in the public vineyard. Laura concluded, after reflection, to let circumstances determine the course it might be best for her to pursue as regarded the several aristocracies. Now it might occur to the reader that perhaps Laura had been somewhat rudely suggestive in her remarks to Mrs. Oreillé when the subject of corals was under discussion, but it did not occur to Laura herself. She was not a person of exaggerated refinement; indeed the society and the influences that had formed her character had not been of a nature calculated to make her so; she thought that "give and take was fair play," and that to parry an offensive thrust with a sarcasm was a neat and legitimate thing to do. She some- times talked to people in a way which some ladies would consider actually shocking; but Laura rather prided herself upon some of her exploits of that character. We are sorry we cannot make her a faultless heroine; but we cannot, for the reason that she was human. She considered herself a superior conversationist. Long ago, when the possibility had first been brought before her mind that some day she might move in Washington society, she had recognized the fact that practiced conversational powers would be a necessary weapon in that field; she had also recognized the fact that since her dealings there must be mainly with men, and men whom she supposed to be exceptionally cultivated and able, she would need heavier shot in<noinclude></noinclude> 11v7mmu5on4dmbqwnmnc093sl35a9os Page:MU KPB 015 Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination.pdf/197 104 4018941 12507498 2022-07-24T22:57:22Z RaboKarbakian 2427564 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="RaboKarbakian" />{{rvh2|145|THE GOLD BUG|{{uc|Tales of Mystery and Imagination}}|&nbsp;}}<div class="story"></noinclude>again interrupted by the violent howlings of the dog. His uneasiness, in the first instance, had been, evidently, but the result of playfulness or caprice, but he now assumed a bitter and serious tone. Upon Jupiter’s again attempting to muzzle him, he made furious resistance, and, leaping into the hole, tore up the mould frantically with his claws. In a few seconds he had uncovered a mass of human bones, forming two complete skeletons, intermingled with several buttons of metal, and what appeared to be the dust of decayed woollen. One or two strokes of a spade upturned the blade of a large Spanish knife, and, as we dug farther, three or four loose pieces of gold and silver coin came to light. At sight of these the joy of Jupiter could scarcely be restrained, but the countenance of his master wore an air of extreme disappointment. He urged us, however, to continue our exertions, and the words were hardly uttered when I stumbled and fell forward, having caught the toe of my boot in a large ring of iron that lay half buried in the loose earth. We now worked in earnest, and never did I pass ten minutes of more intense excitement. During this interval we had fairly unearthed an oblong chest of wood, which, from its perfect preservation and wonderful hardness, had plainly been subjected to some mineralizing process—perhaps that of the bichloride of mercury. This box was three and a half feet long, three feet broad, and two and a half feet deep. It was firmly secured by bands of wrought iron, riveted, and forming a kind of open trellis-work over the whole. On each side of the chest, near the top, were three rings of iron—six in all—by means of which a firm hold could be obtained by six persons. Our utmost united endeavours served only to disturb the coffer very slightly in its bed. We at once saw the impossibility of removing so great a weight. Luckily, the sole fastenings of the lid consisted of two sliding bolts. These we drew back—trembling and panting with anxiety. In an instant, a treasure of incalculable value lay gleaming before us. As the rays of the lanterns fell within the pit, there flashed upward a glow and a glare, from a confused heap of gold and of jewels, that absolutely dazzled our eyes. I shall not pretend to describe the feelings with which I gazed. Amazement was, of course, predominant, Legrand appeared exhausted with excitement, and spoke very few words. Jupiter’s countenance wore, for some minutes, as deadly a pallor as it is possible, in the nature of things, for any negro’s visage to assume. He seemed stupefied—thunderstricken. Presently he fell upon his knees in the pit, and burying his naked arms up to the elbows in gold, let them there remain, as if enjoying the luxury of a bath. At length, with a deep sigh, he exclaimed, as if in a soliloquy: “And dis all cum ob de goole-bug! de putty goole-bug! de poor little<noinclude>{{c|145}}</div></noinclude> nkewfe8tlzevozuz5csx3gfayg9xv9x Page:A Treatise of the Covenant of Grace (John Ball).djvu/156 104 4018942 12507502 2022-07-24T22:59:35Z PeterR2 7826 set up header and footer proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="PeterR2" />{{rule}} {{rh|144|''Of the Covenant that God made with David''|}} {{rule}} {{Sidenotes begin}}</noinclude>144 of the Covetmnt thdt G<d made with David, Hab.T.

Laura was on excellent terms with a great many members of Congress, and there was an undercurrent of suspicion in some quarters that she was one of that detested class known as " lobbyists;" but what belle could escape slander in such a city? Fair-minded people declined to condemn her on mere suspicion, and so the injurious talk made no very damaging headway. She was very gay, now, and very celebrated, and she might well expect to be assailed by many kinds of gossip. She was growing used to celebrity, and could already sit calm and seemingly unconscious, under the fire of fifty lorgnettes in a theatre, or even overhear the low voice "That's she!" as she passed along the street without betraying annoyance. The whole air was full of a vague vast scheme which was to eventuate in filling Laura's pockets with millions of money; some had one idea of the scheme, and some another, but nobody had any exact knowledge upon the subject. All that any one felt sure about, was that Laura's landed estates were princely in value and extent, and that the government was anxious to get hold of them for public purposes, and that Laura was willing to make the sale but not at all anxious about the matter and not at all in a hurry. It was whispered that Senator Dilworthy was a stumbling block in the way of an immediate sale, because he was resolved that the government should not have the lands except with the understanding that they should be devoted to the uplifting of the negro race; Laura did not care what they were devoted to, it was said, (a world of very different gossip to the contrary notwithstanding,) but there were several other heirs and they would be guided entirely by the Senator's wishes; and finally, many people averred that while it would be easy to sell the lands to the government for the benefit of the negro, by resorting to the usual methods of influencing votes, Senator Dilworthy was unwilling to have so noble a charity sullied by any taint of corruption—he was resolved that not a vote should be bought.

But the effect of it all was, that Laura was considered to be very wealthy and likely to be vastly more so in a little while. Consequently she was much courted and as much envied. Her wealth attracted many suitors. Perhaps they came to worship her riches, but they remained to worship her. Some of the noblest men of the time succumbed to her fascinations. She frowned upon no lover when he made his first advances, but by and by when he was hopelessly enthralled, he learned from her own lips that she had formed a resolution never to marry. Then he would go away hating and cursing the whole sex, and she would calmly add his scalp to her string, while she mused upon the bitter day that Col. Selby trampled her love and her pride in the dust. In time it came to be said that her way was paved with broken hearts. Poor Washington gradually woke up to the fact that he too was an intellectual marvel as well as his gifted sister. He could not conceive how it had come about (it did not occur to him that the gossip about his family's great wealth had anything to do with it). He could not account for it by any process of reasoning, and was simply obliged to accept the fact and give up trying to solve the riddle. He found himself dragged into society and courted, wondered at and envied very much as if he were one of those foreign barbers who flit over here now and then with a self-conferred title of nobility and marry some rich fool's absurd daughter. Sometimes at a dinner party or a reception he would find himself the centre of interest, and feel unutterably uncomfortable in the discovery. Being obliged to say something, he would mine his brain and put in a blast and when the smoke and flying debris had cleared away the result would be what seemed to him but a poor little intellectual clod of dirt or two, and then he would be astonished to see everybody as lost in admiration as if he had brought up a ton or two of virgin gold. Every remark he made delighted his hearers and compelled their applause; he overheard people say he was exceedingly bright—they were chiefly mammas and marriageable young ladies.

He was distressed to find that nearly every time he showed a young lady a polite attention he was straightway reported to be engaged to her; and as some of these reports got into the newspapers occasionally, he had to keep writing to Louise that they were lies and she must believe in him and not mind them or allow them to grieve her. Washington was as much in the dark as anybody with regard to the great wealth that was hovering in the air and seemingly on the point of tumbling into the family pocket. Laura would give him no satisfaction. All she would say, was: "Wait. Be patient. You will see." "But will it be soon, Laura?" "It will not be very long, I think.' "But what makes you think so?" "I have reasons—and good ones. Just wait, and be patient." "But is it going to be as much as people say it is?" "What do they say it is?" Oh, ever so much. Millions!" "Yes, it will be a great sum." "But ''how'' great, Laura? Will it be millions?" "Yes, you may call it that. Yes, it ''will'' be millions. There, now—does that satisfy you?" "Splendid! I can wait. I can wait patiently—ever so patiently. Once I was near selling the land for twenty thousand dollars; once for thirty thousand dollars; once after that for seven thousand dollars; and once for forty thousand dollars—but something always told me not to do it. What a fool I would have been to sell it for such a beggarly trifle! It ''is'' the land that's to bring the money, isn't it Laura? You can tell me that much, can't you?".

The appellants further allege, as a cause of action, that the said cotton was disposed of without payment therefor to the appellants for the alleged labor in the production thereof, and that they are entitled to a [[w:Lien#Equitable_lien_(U.S.)|lien]] upon the proceeds derived from the sale of said cotton, and the appellants further allege that they are informed that the Secretary of the Treasury has the custody of the said sixty-eight million seventy-two thousand three hundred and eighty-eight and 99/100 dollars ($68,072,388.99), {{quote|"which said money is part of the fruit of the cotton produced by these appellants,"}} as it is alleged in said amended bill. The original bill states, as to the source from which was derived the sixty-eight million seventy-two thousand three hundred and eighty-eight and 99/100 dollars ($68,072,388.99) as follows: '''[p3]''' {{quote| * * * "being a portion of the proceeds of the identical cotton heretofore mentioned, and that said money is designated on the books of the defendant, named on said books and known as '[[w:Internal Revenue Tax on Raw Cotton|Internal Revenue Tax on Raw Cotton]].' "}} The amended bill contains no statement as to the source from which the sum above referred to was derived. Counsel for appellee deem it proper to set out a resume of data having relation to the Cotton Tax: The tax on raw cotton, which at first was one-half cent per pound, was levied under the 75th section of "[https://archive.org/details/sim_united-states-united-states-statutes-at-large_1860-1863_12/page/462/mode/1up An Act to provide internal revenue to support the Government and to pay interest on the Public Debt]," approved July 1, 1862 (12 Stat., 432, 462-465). The tax became effective October 1, 1862, and by a [[Wiktionary:proviso|proviso]] to the law all cotton owned and held by any manufacturer of cotton fabrics on the first day of October, 1862, and prior thereto, was [[w:Tax_exemption|exempted from the tax]]. The tax was increased to two cents per pound by Section 4 of the Act of March 7, 1864 ([https://archive.org/details/sim_united-states-united-states-statutes-at-large_1863-1865_13/page/n38/mode/1up 13 Stat., 15, sec. 4]), and further increased to three cents per pound by Section 1 of the Act of July 13, 1866 ([https://archive.org/details/sim_united-states-united-states-statutes-at-large_1865-1867_14/page/98/mode/1up 14 Stat., 98]). By the Act of March 2, 1867 ([https://archive.org/details/sim_united-states-united-states-statutes-at-large_1865-1867_14/page/471/mode/1up 14 Stat., 471, sec. 1]), the tax was reduced to two and one-half cents per pound on and after September 1, 1867, and Congress, by "An Act to provide for the exemption of cotton from internal tax," approved February 3, 1868 ([https://archive.org/details/sim_united-states-united-states-statutes-at-large_1867-1869_15/page/34/mode/1up 15 Stat., 34]), exempted all cotton grown in the United States after the year 1867. The total collections during the time the tax was in force amounted to [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Southern_Magazine/ILQRAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%2268,072,388.99%22&pg=PA683 $68,072,388.99].

Farrington vs. Rolfe M. '''(p4)''' Saunders], Internal Revenue Collector for the Eighth District of the State of Tennessee, September Term, 1867, wherein it was held that the tax was constitutional and valid. On appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8603AQAAIAAJ&pg=RA49-PA4&lpg=RA49-PA4&dq=%22148+bales+of+cotton%22+Farrington&source=bl&ots=v93qKGP86Y&sig=ACfU3U0yVyj7jx7dOVC-1NdKRKUWjdoegw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiu9PatrIH5AhUMKEQIHeXPAj4Q6AF6BAgDEAM#v=onepage&q=%22148%20bales%20of%20cotton%22%20Farrington&f=false the court was equally divided], with the effect that the judgement of the court below was affirmed. The case is not found in the Supreme Court reports, but the record is included in "Transcripts of Records, Supreme Court of the United States" (Volume 1, December Term, 1870, page 178), and the briefs and arguments, in "File Copies of Briefs, Supreme Court of the United States" (Vol. 1, December Term, 1870). No separate or distinct account, known or described as "Cotton Tax Fund," or otherwise designated as a separate fund or account, was ever kept on the books of the Treasury Department. The moneys derived from the tax on cotton were deposited in [[w:Fund_accounting#Federal_funds_group|the general fund of the Treasury]] as receipts from internal revenue and expended for the support of the Government and payment of interest on the public debt, as the law provided. Moneys of the United States derived from taxes levied and collected under laws enacted by Congress when paid into the United States Treasury constitute a part of the general fund of the Treasury, consisting principally of duties collected on merchandise imported into the United States and from internal revenue taxes that Congress makes the necessary appropriation for the support of the Government, the payment of the principal and interest of the public debt, and the support of the Army and Navy. Appropriations by Congress under [[w:Taxing and Spending Clause |Section 8]] of Article '''[p5]''' I of the Constitution of the United States are not made by naming custom duties, internal revenue taxes, etc., as applicable to such appropriations, but are made from "any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated." The title of the Internal Revenue law of July 1, 1862, under which (Section 75) the cotton tax was levied, was declaratory of the object of the law, and the moneys derived from the taxes imposed by that law, and amendments thereto, being paid into the general fund of the Treasury were appropriated and expended for objects, of Government authorized by Congress, consequently no moneys derived from the cotton tax now remain in the United States Treasury. This will more fully appear from the last column headed "Surplus (+) or deficit (—) on all receipts," in an excerpt from "RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES—RECAPITULATION OF RECEIPTS BY FISCAL YEARS," which shows the various years (from 1856 to 1915, inclusive) wherein there was a deficit in the Treasury, caused by disbursements being in excess of receipts, for the particular years. (See appendix to this brief.) <div style="text-align:center"> '''POINTS.''' </div> Counsel for the appellee contend: <br/> ::'''1.'''

The appellants' remedy, if any, in any aspect of the case, is in the [[w:United States Court of Claims |Court of Claims]]. <div style="text-align:center"> '''Argument.''' '''I.''' '''SUIT IS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.''' </div> In the late case (1914) of Louisiana vs. McAdoo, [[234 U.S. 627|234 U.S., 627]], the Supreme Court has shown no departure from the proposition that the United States cannot be sued without its consent. And the impossibility is quite the same whether it is sued directly or indirectly. Louisiana applied for leave to file a petition for mandamus to compel the Secretary of the Treasury to collect from [[w:Cuba| Cuba]] a larger [https://archive.org/details/sim_united-states-united-states-statutes-at-large_march-1897-march-1899_30/page/151/mode/1up duty on sugar] than he had officially determined was collectible. At the threshold of the case, Mr. Justice Lurton, speaking for the court, at page 627, said: {{quote|"No principle is better established than that [[w:Sovereign_immunity_in_the_United_States#Federal_sovereign_immunity|the United States may not be sued in the courts of this country without its consent.]] * * * "That the United States is not named on the record is true. But the question whether it is in legal effect a party to the controversy is not always determined by the fact that it is not named as a party on the record, but by the effect of the judgment or [[w:Decree#United_States|decree]] here rendered." Citing: [[185 U.S. 373|185 U.S., 373]], Minnesota vs. Hitchcock. [[204 U.S. 331|204 U.S., 331]], Kansas vs. U.S.}} In Goldberg vs. Daniels, [[231 U.S. 218|231 U.S., 218]], although the Supreme Court found ample ground for affirmance upon the branch of the case upon which it was considered in this court, [[w:Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.|Mr. Justice Holmes]], speaking for the court (p. 221), dismissed the application. '''[p7]''' {{quote|"We see no sufficient reason for throwing doubt upon the premise for the decision, but there is another that comes earlier in point of logic. The United States is the owner in possession of the vessel. It cannot be interfered with behind its back, and, as it cannot be made a party the suit must fail." Goldberg vs. Daniels ([[Wiktionary:supra#Adverb|supra]]).}} In all the cases in the Supreme Court bearing upon the question, whether as a matter of law the suit is one against the sovereignty, be it State or nation, it has been the nature of the complaint or the nature of the relief sought, or both, which has determined the matter. A glance at some of the numerous cases is necessary. Mr. Justice Lamar, delivering the opinion of the court in Pennoyer vs. McConnanghy, [[140 U.S. 1|140 U.S., 1, 9]], made use of the following language: {{quote|"The question, then, of jurisdiction is first presented for determination. Is this suit, in legal effect, one against a State, within the meaning of [[w:Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution|the Eleventh Amendment of the Constitution]]? A very large number of cases involving a variety of questions arising under this amendment have been before this court for adjudication; and, as might naturally be expected, in view of the important interests and the wide-reaching political relations involved, the dissenting opinions have been numerous, still the general principles enunciated by these [[w:Adjudication|adjudications]] will, upon a review of the whole, be found to be such as [[w:Majority opinion |the majority of the court]] and [[w:Dissenting_opinion#United_States|the dissentients]] are substantially agreed upon. "It is well settled that no action can be maintained in any Federal court by the citizens of one State against a State, without its consent, even '''[p8]''' though the sole object of such suit be to bring the State within the operation of the constitutional provision which provides that '[[w:Contract Clause|no State shall pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts]].' This immunity of a State is absolute and unqualified, and the constitutional provision securing it is not to be so construed as to place the State within the reach of the process of the court. Accordingly, it is equally well settled that a suit against the officers of a State, to compel them to do the acts which constitute a performance by it of its contracts, is, in effect, a suit against the State itself. "In the application of this latter principle two classes of cases have appeared in the decisions of this court, and it is in determining to which class a particular case belongs that different views have been presented. "The first class is where the suit is brought against the officers of the State, as representing the State's action and liability, thus making it, though not a party to the record, the real party against which the judgment will so operate as to compel it to specifically perform its contracts. In re Ayers, [[123 U.S. 443|123 U.S., 443]]; Louisiana vs. Jumel, [[107 U.S. 711|107 U.S., 711]]; Antoni vs. Grcenhow, [[107 U.S. 769|107 U.S., 769]]; Cunningham vs. Macon & Brunswick Railroad, [[109 U.S. 446|109 U.S., 446]]; Hagwood vs. Southern [[117 U.S. 52|117 U.S., 52]]. "The other class is where a suit is brought against defendants, who, claiming to act as officers of the State, and under the color of an unconstitutional statute, commit acts of wrong and injury to the rights and property of the plaintiff acquired under a contract with the State. Such suit, whether brought to recover money or property in the hands of such defendants, unlawfully taken by them in behalf of the State, or for compensation in damages, or in a proper case, where the remedy at law is inadequate, for an injunction '''[p9]''' to prevent such wrong and injury, or for [[w:Mandamus#Federal_courts|a mandamus]], in a like case, to enforce upon the defendant the performance of a plain, legal, duty, purely [[wiktionary:ministerial#Adjective |ministerial]]—is not, within the meaning of the Eleventh Amendment, an action against the State."

'''II.''' '''THERE IS NO EQUITY IN THE SUIT.''' </div> Counsel for appellee submit that it is unlikely that a more unfounded claim than this was ever presented to any court. So apparent is this, that counsel for appellee, in considering the question involved here, cannot refrain '''[p10]''' from having in mind the view expressed by the Supreme Court of the United States in Hunter vs. Pittsburgh, [[207 U.S. 161|207 U.S., 161, 177]], where [[w:William Henry Moody|Mr. Justice Moody]], referring to the fact that no authority or reason in support of a cause of action had been offered to the court, said: {{quote|"It is difficult to deal with a proposition of this kind except by saying that it is not true."}} But this apart, it is clear that the claim of appellants, if any they have, could only arise as a property right ''[[w:ex contractu|ex contractu]]'' or on a ''[[w:quantum meruit|quantum meruit]]'', for compensation for the services alleged by them to have been rendered. Such claim cannot be asserted by them as arising against the Federal Government under any constitutional or statutory provision of the United States, for the Supreme Court in Strader vs. Graham, [[10 How. 82|10 Howard, 82]], which was a suit to recover for the value of escaped slaves, said: {{quote|"Every State has an undoubted right to determine the status, or domestic and social condition, of the persons domiciled within its territory; except insofar as the powers of the States in this respect are restrained, or duties and obligations imposed upon them, by the Constitution of the United States. There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that can in any degree control the law of Kentucky upon this subject. And the condition of the [[wiktionary:negro#Usage_notes|negroes]], therefore, as to freedom or slavery, after their return, depended altogether upon the laws of that State, and could not be influenced by the laws of [[w:Ohio|Ohio]]. It was exclusively in the power of [[w:Kentucky|Kentucky]] to determine for itself whether their employment in another State should or should not make them free on their return. The Court of Appeals have de-'''[p11]'''termined, that by the laws of the State they continued to be slaves. And their judgment upon this point is, upon this [[wiktionary:writ#Synonyms|writ]] of error, conclusive upon this court, and we have no jurisdiction over it." [[Strader v. Graham (51 U.S. 82)/Opinion of the Court|Page 93]], et seq.}} Hence, it appears that as the separate States fixed the status and the consequent property and contractual rights, if any, of persons rendering chattel service therein, it must follow that the claim of appellants, if any they have, is one against the State or States wherein the alleged services in producing the cotton in question were rendered. Relative to the property and contractual rights of persons performing chattel service under the system formerly in force in certain of the States of the Union, counsel for appellee respectfully invite the attention of the court to the following cases selected from decisions in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and in the Supreme Court of the United States. {| class="wikitable" |+ |- !

His mother was of Indian extraction, residing at the time of his birth in [[w: Alexandria, Virginia |the city of Alexandria]] as [[w: Free Negro | a free woman]]. " ''''8.''' [Warren] Hall, with other slaves, was taken from [[w:Slave_market#Slave_markets_in_North_America |a slave-market]] in Washington, D.C., by one Thomas Williams, to [[w: New Orleans|New Orleans, La.]]; and there '''[p14]''' he, with other slaves, was sold by a trader to the claimant [Mary] Roach's father, who sent him up to the [[w: Blantonia Plantation|Bachelor's Bend plantation]], in Mississippi. Hall was sent to the plantation in 1844, and remained there as the slave of Roach's father until the latter's death in 1847, and after that as the slave of the claimant Roach, who succeeded to the estate of his father, and remained there until after the cotton in question was seized in 1863. He was treated all the time as a slave, fed and clothed by his master, and worked with the other slaves, sometimes as a field-hand, and at others as a stock-minder. " ''''9.''' On the contrary. Hall now claims to have been a free man while living with claimant Roach, and that, as such, Roach was justly indebted to him on account of stock, hogs, pork, etc., which he had raised on Roach's plantation, and sold and delivered to him, and that the cotton now in suit was given him by Roach in discharge of his indebtedness. " ''''10.''' Hall, under this claim of title, followed the cotton, after its seizure, to the river, and made affidavit that he was the lawful owner thereof. Roach's [[w: Plantation_complexes_in_the_Southern_United_States#Overseer|overseer]], McDowell, hearing of Hall's claim to the cotton, immediately contested his right to it before the officers of the United States having it in charge; and Hall afterward admitted to McDowell, the overseer, that the cotton was not his, and that his oath, in which he asserted a claim thereto, was false. " 'Afterward, however, Hall continued to prosecute his efforts to obtain the release of the cotton, and finally brought suit to recover the proceeds in this court. " ''''I.''' On the foregoing facts, the court holds as conclusions of law, that, under the laws of the State of Mississippi, the claimant Hall, in his condition of servitude, could not lawfully contract with his master, or hold the property he claims to '''[p15]''' have given in consideration of the cotton, and that no title to it was ever vested in Hall.' " Page 28, et seq. Relative to the finding of facts, the Supreme Court said: "It is one of the findings of fact that Hall admitted that he had no title to the cotton, and that he had [[w: erjury#United_States|perjured]] himself in swearing that he had such title; and the finding is without explanation or qualification. This would seem, under the circumstances, to have rendered it unnecessary further to consider the case. But [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Cases_Decided_in_the_United_States_Court/QIsLIitx2ycC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=united+states+court+of+claims+Hall+v.+United+States&pg=PA172&printsec=frontcover the court] placed its judgment upon the conclusion of law, that Hall, being a slave, could not contract. There is no finding of facts as to the making of the alleged contract. Perhaps the reason was that, conceding the facts to be as claimed by Hall, still the court was of opinion that his having been then a slave was fatal to his claim. If such were the law, the facts were immaterial; for, whatever they were, they could not avail him. As the record stands, this is the controlling point in the case. We have examined the subject with care, and think the court came to the proper conclusion." Page 29. Continuing, the court said: "In order to see the proposition in its true light, it is necessary, as it were, to [https://writingexplained.org/idiom-dictionary/turn-back-the-hands-of-time roll back the tide of time], and to imagine ourselves in the presence of the circumstances by which the parties were surrounded when and where the contract is said to have been made. Slavery then existed in Mississippi, and her laws upon the subject were as they have been for years. Hall was brought to the State, and there sold, bought, held, and treated as a slave. He belonged ostensibly for years to the father of Roach, the claimant; and, upon the '''[p16]''' death of the father, the son succeeded to the father's rights. Hall held the same relations to the latter which he had held to the former. In this respect there was no change. His color was presumptive proof of bondage. The law of the State provided a way in which he could establish his freedom. He could assert his claim in no other way. The remedy was exclusive. Until he had vindicated his right to freedom in the mode prescribed, the law regarded him as a slave; and it would not allow the question to be collaterally raised in his behalf by himself, or anyone else in any other proeeding.

United States (92 U.S. 27)/Opinion of the Court|the case last cited]] as decisively against the right of appellants to maintain the suit at bar, for, if a slave could not create a property right in himself by entering into a contract with, and thereby establishing a liability against, his master, how then can these appellants establish a claim against the United States, which, in its essence, can arise only as a property right upon a contractual basis?

The progress of society, says Sir Henry Maine, has been from communal restraint to personal freedom. Both of these apparently conflicting statements are true. The personal independence of which M. Guizot speaks is the communal equality of fellow-clansmen, an independence which each possesses not because he is a man but because he is a ''clans''man, an independence which, far from implying any "offhangingness" from the group, simply results from the union of the individual with his group. On the other hand, the personal independence in which Sir Henry Maine sees the latest outcome of a slow and fitful evolution is one which (to apply an expression of Savigny) draws a circle round each individual as distinct from his group and the government of his group, an independence which sets him apart from every tie of kinship in an isolation which primitive socialism would have contemplated and treated as a terrible calamity—the isolation of the clanless and the lordless man. § 37. Over and above the choral song-dances of the clan, over and above communal hymns of all descriptions, we shall therefore be prepared to find some sort of personal poetry in clan life. Moreover, it need not surprise us if such poetry should give the clearest insight into clan sentiments, for it is evidently in the relation of the clansman to his group that such sentiments are most distinctly expressed. Self-sacrificing devotion to the cause of the clan, uncompromising vengeance for the blood of slaughtered kinsfolk, justice in the distribution of the common property, faithfulness in the discharge of funeral obsequies—these and such as these are the ideal characteristics of the clansman; and clearly they may be best illustrated where conditions of climate and soil have allowed the largest personal freedom compatible with a<noinclude></noinclude> fl89y5lre8m822gl0ixkbtxugt33ud9 Page:The Leveller movement; a study in the history and political theory of the English Great Civil War (IA levellermovement01peas).pdf/17 104 4018959 12507596 2022-07-25T00:02:56Z Shells-shells 3021170 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Shells-shells" /></noinclude>{{c|INTRODUCTION}} {{di|T}}{{uc|he}} establishment in England of a democratic government limited and bounded by law—that in a word was the vision pursued in the midst of the political strife and confusion of the Great Civil War by the men ordinarily called Levellers. To trace the evolution of this idea and of the corollaries to it that completed the Leveller platform, to show the political machinery devised by the Levellers to promote it, and in short to sketch the history of the Leveller movement as a whole is the purpose of this essay. The political ideas of the Levellers at the outset were perceptibly molded by two different intellectual forces. The first of these originated in the series of controversies in the years 1640–43 through which the Long Parliament advanced from the doctrine of the supremacy of the law to the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty. The second force came from the ecclesiastical dispute centering around the Westminster Assembly that gave form and spirit to the Independent idea of church government, originating in compact and limited by the supreme law of Christ. In the course of translating this idea into politics the Levellers in successive drafts of Agreements of the People developed the concept of a written constitution originating in a compact of the sovereign people and, therefore, superior to govern-<noinclude>{{c|1}}</noinclude> 9pfis261cx3utmil44gsbx25p51zxej Page:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 3.djvu/105 104 4018960 12507597 2022-07-25T00:06:47Z Pokechu22 2303232 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Pokechu22" />{{rh||REFINEMENTS AND PASTIMES|}}</noinclude>two groups of the Eight Diagrams,<ref name="Note 23">See Appendix, note 23.</ref> and the black eaves-curtain with its design of white waves represents the passion-calming element. At the base of each pillar sits an expert, whom age has compelled to retire from the arena, and who has acted as teacher to the men in the ring. Near him is placed a vessel of water with a wine-cup beside it, and wrestlers, before a contest, take a draught of this water, in deference to the old custom of warriors on the eve of a perilous undertaking who exchanged a "water-cup" (''mizu-sakazuki'') in token of farewell that might be for ever. The relations of the wrestlers to their teacher are the poetical phase of their career. They still regulate their treatment of him by the ancient formula of reverence, that to tread even within three feet of his shadow is disrespectful. Altogether the Japanese wrestler has no counterpart elsewhere. The nature of his profession is not reflected in his daily life; though uneducated, he knows how to conduct himself with propriety in the high society to which his patrons often introduce him; he has a fine moral code of his own which holds him in the path of honest manliness, and the crime of abusing his strength is almost unrecorded against him. It has already been noted that the Japanese swordsman practised an art called by various names at different epochs or by different schools, but having for its fundamental principle the sub-<noinclude> {{rule|5em|align=left}} {{smallrefs}} {{fine|{{asc|Vol. III.—6}}}} {{c|81}}</noinclude> k80087s7j6w8igzrdoo6my09xodui4g Page:The Leveller movement; a study in the history and political theory of the English Great Civil War (IA levellermovement01peas).pdf/18 104 4018961 12507598 2022-07-25T00:06:51Z Shells-shells 3021170 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Shells-shells" />{{rh|2|''INTRODUCTION''}}</noinclude>ment. Such ideas led them further still—almost to the conclusion that the interpretation of their constitution was of necessity a judicial function belonging to the courts. So defined, the Leveller movement has more than antiquarian interest. The fact that such a thing as the Leveller party existed, and professed constitutional ideas and methods similar to those developed in American constitutional history is more than an interesting coincidence. In truth it reveals at a critical point in the development of English political institutions a trend toward the supremacy, not of government, nor of a branch of government, but of law. Historians, it is true, have assigned the idea of the supremacy of law an important position in the earlier stages of the Puritan Revolution. They have quoted Coke’s saying of 1628, “Sovereign Power is no Parliamentary word; {{...|4}} Magna Charta is such a Fellow that he will have no Sovereign,”<ref>Quotation adapted.

On the other hand they have recognized the fact that the indirect consequence of 1640, 1660, and 1688 has been to make Parliament sovereign over the law. “We have,” wrote Professor Maitland, “no irrepealable laws; all laws may be repealed by the ordinary legislature, even the conditions upon which the English and Scottish parliaments<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 8548eqo908n0ii5bdni5o9u15bksk3y Page:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 3.djvu/106 104 4018962 12507599 2022-07-25T00:09:28Z Pokechu22 2303232 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Pokechu22" />{{rh||JAPAN|}}</noinclude>stitution of subtlety for strength. This method of parrying or delivering an attack has now begun to attract attention in Europe, and is enthusiastically studied in Japan under the name of ''ju-jutsu'' or ''ju-dō'', a term of which the nearest English equivalent is the "art of pliancy." ''Ju-jutsu'' does not appear to have been familiar to the Japanese in ancient eras. At any rate, they were not acquainted with it in the elaborate form that it assumed during the seventeenth century. According to the view of some historians, its methods were first taught by a Chinese immigrant at that time. But nothing of the kind has ever been known to exist in China. The probability, if not the certainty, is that what ''ju-jutsu'' received from China was merely some new plans for disabling an adversary by striking or kicking; and that, since this happened at a time when the art had passed out of vogue, its professors tried to bring about a ''renaissance'' by magnifying the value of the Chinese innovations. In point of fact, such innovations were discordant with the true spirit of the system, which aimed, not at breaking down force by force, nor yet at initiating assaults, but at utilising an enemy's strength for his own destruction, and at rendering his attacks suicidal. It may be supposed, on superficial reflection, that to set up a distinction between such an art and wrestling is pedantic. In a sense that is true.

Such conditions may be found among the Arabs of the burning deserts. The Arab, on his horse or camel, shifting from spot to spot, cannot feel or express the impersonality of clan feelings with the intensity peculiar to settled village communities. In the early poetry of the Arab clans we shall accordingly find some of the best specimens of that personal expression of the clansman's feelings which we seek to illustrate. [[Author:Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Marzuqi|Marzûki]], in the preface of his Commentary on the ''Mufaddalian Poems'' (so called from their collector, Al Mufaddal, who made the anthology about the year 160 of the Hejîra), tells us that a great deal of early Arab poetry owed its origin to tribal wars. "I have been told," says the Arab authority,<ref>The words are translated from a Berlin manuscript by Professor Kosegarten, in the introduction to his edition of the Huzailiau Poems.</ref> "that Ali ben Mahdi, the Kisrawite, reported that in Attâïf there were both poetry and reciters, but not in abundance. For poetry increased only during the wars between the tribes, such as happened among the Ausites and Kasragites, and in the engagements and expeditions which were continually going on. Among the Kuraishites poetry was rare, for there were no inveterate animosities among them." The passage reminds us of our Border Ballads; but the presence of genuine clan sentiments, such as those of Blood-revenge, in the early Arab poems carries us far nearer the beginnings of literature than Chevy Chace. Some examples of this Arab poetry we shall now offer from the ''Hamâseh,'' or "Valour," an anthology so called because the first chapter contains verses on valour and manly behaviour. Collected about the year 220 of the Hejîra by Abu Tammâm, this anthology contains many short pieces of verse and fragments selected from complete odes. The collection is distributed into ten chapters, the first of which takes up<noinclude>{{dhr}} {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> nuykuzgy1gzmpcb9g5dhkujhtweenh6 Page:Brinkley - Japan - Volume 3.djvu/107 104 4018964 12507602 2022-07-25T00:11:28Z Pokechu22 2303232 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Pokechu22" />{{rh||REFINEMENTS AND PASTIMES|}}</noinclude>opponent, then ''ju-jutsu'' is wrestling. But it is not Japanese wrestling. In the first place, Japanese wrestling absolutely forbids every dangerous resolution of force into components acting in opposite directions, whereas ''ju-jutsu'' puts such resolution in the forefront of its methods. In the second place, Japanese wrestling has for its object the development of strength in excess of that of an adversary, whereas ''ju-jutsu'' seeks primarily to divert an adversary's force into directions fatal to his own equilibrium. So essential is the difference between the two arts that while success in wrestling depends theoretically on preponderance of force on the side of the victor, success in ''ju-jutsu'' is promoted by preponderance of force on the side of the vanquished. A skilled wrestler of great thews fares worse than a feeble tyro at the hands of a ''ju-jutsu'' expert. The science starts from the mathematical principle that the stability of a body is destroyed so soon as the vertical line passing through its centre of gravity falls outside its base. To achieve disturbance of equilibrium in accordance with that principle, the ''ju-jutsu'' player may throw himself on the ground by way of preliminary to throwing his opponent, a sequence of proceedings that would, of course, be suicidal in wrestling. In fact, to know how to fall is as essential a part of his science as to know how to throw.

The old cemetery was where the centre of the river now is. On 19th April, 1873, Warden Giles reported: “The past twelve months has been a period of calamity and depression to the town of Westport. Street after street has been washed away by the river and sea encroachments, and the inhabitants have been compelled, at a great loss, to move their houses and places of business to such sites as they could secure, the approach to the new site of the township being then unfinished. There seems to be no particular assignable limit to the further encroachments of the sea and river, and I do not see why the former destruction should not be again repeated if the river bank is not better protected than has yet been the case.” This report implies that at that date, 19th April, 1873, the approach to the new township had been completed and that the “Second Township” was becoming the business centre. The ''Westport Times'' of 6th June, 1873, stated: “Tuesday last will be long remembered in Westport as a day of dire disaster. Of all the misfortunes heretofore, occurring from sea and river encroachment, none has happened so suddenly or resulted in so much loss and destruction of property. The damage done has been variously estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand pounds.” The paper gave a list of premises washed away, destroyed, or pulled down and removed, including 3 wharves; 1 bank; 4 hotels; 9 stores; 2 business premises; 1 office; and 6 residences. The name “Westport” was recommended to the Executive Council of Nelson Province on 16th July, 1863, by Mr. J. C. Richmond, Land Commissioner, for “the township at the Buller mouth”; and it was adopted. The new town of Westport, which was about a mile from the bar and in area 730 acres, was partly surveyed by Henry Lewis, Government Surveyor, about 1865, and partly by A.

These principles may be seen strikingly illustrated in any of the schools in Tōkyō, where weak striplings not yet out of their teens easily gain the mastery over stalwart men. On the abolition of feudalism after the Restoration in 1867, ''ju-jutsu'' shared the decadence that befell everything patronised by the ''samurai'' of early eras. But it was subsequently revived by Professor K. Kano, an eminent educationist, and it is now taught gratuitously in two large institutions organised by him in Tōkyō, as well as at many of the chief seats of learning throughout the Empire. Every police-constable is required to go through a course, and the result of his instruction is that he can generally master the strongest malefactor without difficulty. Evidently to explain such a system in writing would require a special treatise with elaborate illustrations. It may be stated, however, that the novice passes through three preliminary classes, and then reaches the first of the ten stages into which the science proper is divided. Six of the stages are devoted to physical training and four to moral discipline, the time required to graduate in the whole course being ten years. Before matriculation every pupil must take an oath to obey the rules implicitly, and he learns not merely the art of overcoming an adversary, but also the science of resuscitating persons who have been temporarily<noinclude> {{c|84}}</noinclude> jxztvryiw7hx32sissbza26n4la1zeo Template:Protected page text 10 4018967 12507605 2022-07-25T00:15:03Z 2604:3D08:6286:7500:A41E:EAFA:4A1C:8500 Created page with "<includeonly><div class="mw-parser-output"><!-- TODO? should probably try to restrain direct use of mw-parser-output to MW space but I'm being lazy and most of the gunk is in this template --><templatestyles src="Protected page text/styles.css"/>{{fmbox | id = mw-protectedpagetext | type = system | image = none | style = border-style:none; | text = {{mbox | type = protection | textstyle = font-weight:bold; font-size:130%; | image = File:{{{ima..." wikitext text/x-wiki <includeonly><div class="mw-parser-output"><!-- TODO? should probably try to restrain direct use of mw-parser-output to MW space but I'm being lazy and most of the gunk is in this template --><templatestyles src="Protected page text/styles.css"/>{{fmbox | id = mw-protectedpagetext | type = system | image = none | style = border-style:none; | text = {{mbox | type = protection | textstyle = font-weight:bold; font-size:130%; | image = [[File:{{{image|Full-protection-shackle.svg}}}|40x40px|link=|alt=]] | text = <div style="text-align: center;">{{{protection-message}}}</div> }}{{#if: {{{suggestions|}}} | <div class="pptext-whywhat"> <div class="pptext-why"> <h2>Why is the page protected?</h2> <ul> <li>{{{protection-reason}}} </li> <li>{{{log-text|The reason for protection can be found in the [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=protect&page={{urlencode:{{#ifeq:{{NAMESPACENUMBER}}|-1|{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|0|2}}|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}}}} protection log].

It may appear curious that moral training should form part of the course, but the students of ''ju-jutsu'', or ''ju-dō'' (the path of pliancy), claim a great deal for it in the latter respect. Mr. T. Shidachi, in a paper read before the Japan Society in London in 1892, has this to say about the moral side of the art: "Respect and kindness, fidelity and sincerity are essential points which ''ju-dō'' students should particularly observe. We come by daily training to know that irritability is one of our weakest points, and that we have to try to avoid it in our life, as it facilitates our opponents' efforts to overcome us. Not to be irritated by any emergency, but to be always calm and composed is one of the first principles of ''ju-dō''. Prudence, precaution, temperance, perseverance, presence of mind, quick discernment, decision after deliberation, animation, self-respect, and self-control,—all these are moral qualities inculcated by the study of ''ju-dō''. Greatness of mind, obedience to duty, and abhorrence of extravagance should be cultivated with no less attention. The influence which ''ju-dō'' exerts on intellectual power is no less important. The strict attention we have to give to daily duties is acknowledged. {{...}} I take the liberty of saying that I have received conscious benefit to my faculties of concentration and observation by the study of ''ju-dō''."

The latter in his reminiscences, says: “In the very early days there was a considerable extent of level ground between the forest and the sea; this was the first part occupied. A very large flood occurred and threatened to wash away the whole settlement, and the buildings had to be removed as quickly as possible. I set out a new cemetery at the river Orawaiti, and all the coffins, about 200, were moved from the old cemetery to the new one.” Another authority states that when the cemetery was washed away, some coffins and bodies were collected from the river-banks and the beach. On 8th April, 1870, Mr. John Blackett, Provincial Engineer, reported: “The sea has made considerable encroachments, necessitating the removal of a great many houses. The damage to the beach extends about 30 chains, the greatest damage being opposite the north end of Russell Street.” On 2nd June, 1870, a petition was presented to the Government by the holders of land, praying for compensation for “land purchased from the Government as freehold, and since removed by the sea.” In 1872 or 1873 Westport’s main street, was, according to one writer, “completely demolished, and where the old town school stood became a waterway.” Mr. A. D. Dodson records that “Palmerston Street ran parallel to the river and had, in 1869, been cleared to a chain in width.” The Kawatiri River, later named Buller by Brunner and Heaphy in honour of Charles Buller, a Director of the New Zealand Company, was first entered by Thoms’s sealing schooner in 1844. This vessel was almost certainly the ''Three Brothers,'' to which vessel Heaphy refers in an article in the ''Nelson Examiner,'' regarding his journey in 1846. He says: “Thoms, master of the ''Three Brothers,'' anchored near the Three Steeples or Black Reef about two years since;... reporting on his return the existence of a large river, with a, considerable tract of level land on its banks, in the vicinity of that place.” The first trading vessel to enter the port was the cutter ''Supply,'' Captain John Walker, on 30th August, 1859, with stores for Mackay and Rochfort.

If he should go he would almost to a certainty find her, and if he should find her he would almost to a certainty come to the point. He wouldn't put it off again—there was that high consideration for him of justice at least to himself. He had never yet denied himself anything so apparently fraught with possibilities as the idea of proposing to Mrs Worthingham—never yet, in other words, denied himself anything he had so distinctly wanted to do; and the results of that wisdom had remained for him precisely the precious parts of experience. Counting only the offers of his honourable hand, these had been on three remembered occasions at least the consequence of an impulse as sharp and a self-respect that hadn't in the least suffered, moreover, from the failure of each appeal. He had been met in the three cases—the only ones he at all compared with his present case—by the frank confession that he didn't somehow, charming as he was, cause himself to be superstitiously believed in; and the lapse of life, afterward, had cleared up many doubts. It ''wouldn't'' have done, he eventually, he lucidly saw, each time he had been refused; and the candour of his nature was such that he could live to think of these very passages as a proof of how right he had been—right, that is, to have put himself forward always, by the happiest instinct, only in impossible<noinclude></noinclude> ld1w61aswmtty31uz6q2p40z1jib6o4 Page:Trial of john lilburne (IA trial john lilburne).djvu/83 104 4019018 12507685 2022-07-25T01:06:31Z Shells-shells 3021170 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Shells-shells" />{{c|(69)}}</noinclude>''The third is this that relates to the Army, you have heard what his expressions have been, and they have been read unto you, concerning them and the rest, that he, not being an Officer or Souldier or member of the present Army, hath offered to stir up mutiny in the Army, and to withdraw the Souldiers from their obedience and {{SIC|ubjection|subjection}} to their superiour Officer, and thereby to stir them up to mutiny and discontent.''

Henry More, upon the other hand, considered that the bird's instinct proved the existence of the ''Anima Mundi'', with its ideas and memories. Did modern enlightenment think with Coste that Locke had the better logic, because it was not free to think otherwise? {{c|XIX}} I ceased to read modern books that were not books of pure literature; when I met some current thought that interested me, I tried to trace it back to its earliest use, believing that there must be a tradition of belief older than any European Church, and founded upon the experience of the world before the modern bias. It was this search for a tradition that urged George Pollexfen and myself to study the visions and thoughts of the country people, and some country conversation repeated by one or the other often gave us a day's discussion. These visions, we soon discovered, were very like those we called up by symbol. Mary Battle, looking out of the window at Rosses Point, saw coming from Knocknarea, where Queen Maeve, according to local folk-lore, is buried under a great heap of stones, "the finest woman you ever saw travelling right across from the mountains and straight to here."—I quote a record written at the time. "She looked very strong, but not wicked" (that is to say, not cruel). "I have seen the Irish Giant" (some big man shown at a fair). "And though he was a fine man he was nothing to her, for he was round and could not have stepped out so soldierly {{...}} she had no stomach on her but was slight and broad in the shoulders, and was handsomer than any one you ever saw; she looked about thirty." And when I asked if she had seen others like her, she said, "Some of them have their hair down, but they look quite different, more like the sleepy-looking ladies one sees in the papers. Those with their hair up are like this one. The others have long white dresses, but those with their hair up have short dresses, so that you can see their legs right up to the calf." And when I questioned her, I found that they wore what might well be some kind of buskin.

Not at this time, but some three or four years later, when the visions came without any conscious use of symbol for a short time, and with much greater vividness, I saw two or three forms of this incredible beauty, one especially that must always haunt my memory. Then, too, the Master Pilot told us of meeting at night close to the Pilot House a procession of women in what seemed the costume of another age. Were they really people of the past, revisiting, perhaps, the places where they lived, or must I explain them, as I explained that vision of Eden as a mountain garden, by some memory of the race, as distinct from individual memory? Certainly these Spirits, as the country people called them, seemed full of personality; were they not capricious, generous, spiteful, anxious, angry, and yet did that prove them more than images and symbols? When I used a combined earth and fire and lunar symbol, my seer, a girl of twenty-five, saw an obvious Diana and her dogs about a fire in a cavern. Presently, judging from her closed eyes, and from the tone of her voice, that she was in trance, not in reverie, I wished to lighten the trance a little, and made through carelessness or hasty thinking a symbol of dismissal, and at once she started and cried out, "She says you are driving her away too quickly. You have made her angry." Then, too, if my visions had a subjective element, so had Mary Battle's, for her fairies had but one tune, The Distant Waterfall, and she never heard anything described in a sermon at the Cathedral that she did not "see it after," and spoke of seeing in this way the gates of Purgatory. Furthermore, if my images could affect her dreams, the folk-images could affect mine in turn, for one night I saw between sleeping and waking a strange long-bodied pair of dogs, one black and one white, that I found presently in some country tale. How, too, could one separate the dogs of the country tale from those my uncle heard bay in his pillow? In order to keep myself from nightmare, I had formed the habit of imagining four watch-dogs, one at each corner of my room, and, though I had not told him or anybody, he said, "Here is a very curious thing; most nights now, when I<noinclude></noinclude> pbyse96v8kmo91kscfhbfisukriakzw Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/102 104 4019025 12507695 2022-07-25T01:20:41Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|68|MORE MEMORIES|}}</noinclude>lay my head upon the pillow, I hear a sound of dogs baying—the sound seems to come up out of the pillow."

As I gave them an artificial nest, a hollow vessel like a saucer, they had no need of that skill the wild bird shows, each species having its own preference among lichen, or moss; but they could sort out wool and hair and a certain soft white down that I found under a big tree. They would twist a stem of grass till it was limber, and would wind all about the centre of the nest, and when the four grey eggs were laid, the mother bird knew how to turn them over from time to time, that they might be warmed evenly; and how long she must leave them uncovered, that the white might not be dried up, and when to return that the growing bird might not take cold. Then the young birds, even when they had all their feathers, were very still as compared with the older birds, as though any habit of movement would disturb the nest or make them tumble out. One of them would now and again pass on the food that he had received from his mother's beak to some other nestling. The father had often pecked the mother bird before the eggs were laid, but now, until the last nestling was decently feathered, he took his share in the feeding, and was very peaceable, and it was only when the young could be left to feed themselves that he grew jealous, and had to be put into another cage. When I watch my child who is not yet three years old, I can see so many signs of knowledge from beyond her own mind; why else should she be so excited when a little boy passes outside the window, and take so little interest in a girl; why should she put a cloak about her, and look over her shoulder to see it trailing upon the stairs, as she will some day trail a dress; and why, above all, as she lay against her mother's side, and felt the unborn child moving within, did she murmur "Baby, baby"? When a man writes any work of genius, or invents some creative action, is it not because some knowledge or power has come into his mind from beyond his mind? It is called up by an image, as I think; all my birds' adventures started when I hung a little saucer at one side of the cage, and at the other a bundle of hair and grass; but our images must be given to us, we cannot choose them deliberately. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> t71e0572l0xpwcehaquc7tu57zj3dg8 Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/104 104 4019027 12507698 2022-07-25T01:23:06Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|70|MORE MEMORIES|}}</noinclude> {{c|XXII}} I know now that revelation is from the self, but from that age-long memoried self, that shapes the elaborate shell of the mollusc and the child in the womb, that teaches the birds to make their nest; and that genius is a crisis that joins that buried self for certain moments to our trivial daily self. There are, indeed, personifying spirits that we had best call but gates and gate-keepers, because through their dramatic power they bring our souls to crisis, to Mask and Image, caring not a straw whether we be Juliet going to her wedding, or Cleopatra to her death; for in their eyes nothing has weight but passion. We have dreamed a foolish dream these many centuries in thinking that they value a life of contemplation, for they scorn that more than any possible life, unless it be but a name for the worst crisis of all. They have but one purpose, to bring their chosen man to the greatest obstacle he may confront without despair. They contrived Dante's banishment, and snatched away his Beatrice, and thrust Villon into the arms of harlots, and sent him to gather cronies at the foot of the gallows, that Dante and Villon might through passion become conjoint to their buried selves, turn all to Mask and Image, and so be phantoms in their own eyes. In great lesser writers like Landor and like Keats we are shown that Image and that Mask as something set apart; Andromeda and her Perseus but not the sea-dragon; but in a few in whom we recognize supreme masters of tragedy, the whole contest is brought into the circle of their beauty. Such masters, Villon and Dante, let us say, would not, when they speak through their art, change their luck; yet they are mirrored in all the suffering of desire. The two halves of their nature are so completely joined that they seem to labour for their objects, and yet to desire whatever happens, being at the same instant predestinate and free, creation's very self. We gaze at such men in awe; because we gaze not at a work of art, but at the re-creation of the man through that art, the birth of a new species of man, and it may even seem that the hairs of our heads stand up; because that birth, that re-creation, is from terror. Had not Dante and Villon understood that their fate wrecked what life could not rebuild, had they lacked their vision of Evil, had they cherished any species of optimism, they could but have found a false beauty, or some momentary instinctive beauty, and suffered<noinclude></noinclude> hi2s1ynij59ayd7uk71fmru3onevbpo Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/105 104 4019028 12507701 2022-07-25T01:25:28Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh||WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS|71}}</noinclude>no change at all, or but changed as do the wild creatures, or from devil well to devil sick, and so go round the clock. They and their sort alone earn contemplation, for it is only when the intellect has wrought the whole of life to drama, to crisis, that we may live for contemplation, and yet keep our intensity. And these things are true also of nations, but the Gate-keepers who drive the nation to war or anarchy that it may find its Image are different from those who drive individual men, though I think at times they work together. And as I look backward upon my own writing, I take pleasure alone in those verses where it seems to me I have found something hard, cold, some articulation of the image, which is the opposite of all that I am in my daily life, and all that my country is; yet man or nation can no more make Mask or Image than the seed can be made by the soil into which 1t is cast. {{block center|{{c|{{sc|Ille}}}} <poem>What portion in the world can the artist have, Who has awakened from the common dream, But dissipation and despair?</poem> {{c|{{sc|Hic}}}} <poem>{{gap|16em}}And yet No one denies to Keats, love of the world.

In the middle of the first act, while the heroine was asking for macaroons, a middle aged washerwoman who sat in front of me, stood up and said to the little boy at her side "Tommy, if you promise to go home straight, we will go now"; and at the end of the play, as I wandered through the entrance hall, I heard an elderly critic murmur "A series of conversations terminated by an accident." I was divided in mind, I hated the play; what was it but Carolus Duran, Bastien-Lepage, Huxley, and Tyndall, all over again; I resented being invited to admire dialogue so close to modern educated speech that music and style were impossible. "Art is art because it is not nature," I kept repeating to myself, but how could I take the same side with critic and washerwoman? As time passed Ibsen became in my eyes the chosen author of very clever young journalists, who, condemned to their treadmill of abstraction, hated music and style; and yet neither I nor my generation could escape him because, though we and he had not the same friends, we had the same enemies. I bought his collected works in Mr Archer's translation out of my thirty shillings a week and carried them to and fro upon my journeys to Ireland and Sligo, and Florence Farr, who had but one great gift, the most perfect poetical elocution, became prominent as an Ibsen actress and had almost a success in Rosmersholm where there is symbolism and a stale odour of spilt poetry. She and I and half our friends found ourselves involved in a quarrel with the supporters of old fashioned melodrama and conventional romance, and in the support of the new dramatists who wrote in what the Daily Press chose to consider the manner of Ibsen. In 1894 she became manageress of the Avenue Theatre with a play of Dr Todhunter's called The Comedy of Sighs, and Mr Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man. She asked me to write a one act play for her niece Miss Dorothy Paget, a girl of eight or nine, to make her first stage appearance in; and I with my Irish Theatre in mind wrote The Land of Heart's Desire, in some discomfort when the child was theme, as I knew nothing of children, but with an abundant mind when Mary Bruin was, for I knew an Irish woman whose unrest troubled me and lay beyond my comprehension. {{c|''To be continued''}}<noinclude></noinclude> 4fqah4f9y41jqsoruktp0wovfd8k4fw Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/126 104 4019030 12507703 2022-07-25T01:27:18Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Without text */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Hilohello" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> ce4ma19r0rk8o5p4may6uw16k8w34ld Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/96 104 4019031 12507704 2022-07-25T01:28:40Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|62|MORE MEMORIES|}}</noinclude>red George Pollexfen would see nothing. I therefore gave him exercises to make him sensitive to yellow and to red, and gradually we found ourselves well fitted for this work, and he began to take as active an interest as was possible, to a nature given over to habit, in my plans for the Castle on the Rock. I worked with others, sworn to the scheme for the most part, and I made many curious observations. It was the symbol itself, or, at any rate, not my conscious intention that produced the effect, for if I made an error and told someone, let us say, to gaze at the wrong symbol—they were painted upon cards—the vision would be suggested by the symbol, not by my thought, or two visions would appear side by side, one from the symbol and one from my thought. When two people between whose minds there was even a casual sympathy, worked together under the same symbolic influence, the dream or reverie would divide itself between them, each half being the complement of the other; and now and again these complementary dreams, or reveries, would arise spontaneously. I find, for instance, in an old notebook, "I saw quite suddenly a tent with a wooden badly-carved idol, painted dull red; a man looking like a Red Indian was prostrate before it. The idol was seated to the left. I asked G. what he saw. He saw a most august immense being, glowing with a ruddy opalescent colour, sitting on a throne to the left," or, to summarize from a later notebook—I am meditating in one room, and a fellow-investigator in another, when I see a boat full of tumult and movement on a still sea, and my friend sees a boat with motionless sails upon a tumultuous sea. There was nothing in the originating symbol to suggest a boat. {{c|XVI}} We never began our work until George's old servant was in her bed; and yet, when we went upstairs to our beds, we constantly heard her crying out with nightmare, and in the morning we would find that her dream echoed our vision. One night, started by what symbol I forget, we had seen an allegorical marriage of Heaven and Earth. When Mary Battle brought in the breakfast next morning, I said, "Well, Mary, did you dream anything last night?" and she replied (I am quoting from an old notebook) "indeed she had," and that it was "a dream she would not have liked to have had twice in one night."

She had thought in her dream, "Now all the clergy will get married, and it will be no use going to confession." There were "layers upon layers of flowers, many roses, all round the church." Another time, when George Pollexfen had seen in answer to some evocation of mine a man with his head cut in two, she woke, to find that she "must have cut her face with a pin, as it was all over blood." When three or four saw together, the dream or vision would divide itself into three or four parts, each seeming complete in itself, and all fitting together, so that each part was an adaptation of a single meaning to a different personality. A visionary being would give, let us say, a lighted torch to one, an unlighted candle to another, an unripe fruit to a third, and to the fourth a ripe fruit. At times coherent stories were built up, as if a company of actors were to improvise, and play, not only without previous consultation, but without {{SIC|forseeing}} at any moment what would be said or done a moment after. Who made the story? Was it the mind of one of the visionaries? Perhaps, for I have endless proof that, where two worked together, the symbolic influence commonly took upon itself, though no word was spoken, the quality of the mind that had first fixed a symbol in the mind's eye. But, if so, what part of the mind? One friend, in whom the symbolic impulse produced actual trance, described an elaborate and very strange story while the trance was upon him, but upon waking told a story that after a certain point was quite different. "They gave me a cup of wine, and after that I remembered nothing." While speaking out of trance he had said nothing of the cup of wine, which must have been offered to a portion of his mind quite early in the dream. Then, too, from whence come the images of the dream? Not always, I was soon persuaded, from the memory, perhaps never in trance or sleep. One man, who certainly thought that Eve's apple was the sort that you got from the greengrocer, and as certainly never doubted its story's literal truth, said, when I used some symbol to send him to Eden, that he saw a walled garden on the top of a high mountain, and in the middle a tree with great birds in the branches, and fruit out of which, if you held a fruit to your ear, came the sound of fighting. I had not at the time read Dante's Purgatorio, and it caused me some trouble to verify the mountain garden, and, from some passage in the Zohar, the great birds among the boughs; while a young girl, on being sent<noinclude></noinclude> 16c4s54wslhkuo18kea82wcapfsw63y Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/98 104 4019034 12507707 2022-07-25T01:31:40Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|64|MORE MEMORIES|}}</noinclude>to the same garden, heard the music of heaven from a tree, and on listening with her ear against the trunk, found that it was made by the "continual clashing of swords." Whence came that fine thought of music-making swords, that image of the garden, and many like images and thoughts? I had as yet no answer, but knew myself to be face to face with the ''Anima Mundi'' described by Platonic philosophers, and more especially in modern times by Henry More, which has a memory independent of individual memories, though they constantly enrich it with their images and their thoughts. {{c|XVII}} At Sligo we walked twice every day, once after lunch and once after dinner, to the same gate on the road to Knocknarea; and at Rosses Point, to the same spot upon the shore; and as we walked we exchanged those thoughts that never rise before me now without bringing some sight of mountain or of shore. Considering that Mary Battle received our thoughts in sleep, though coarsened or turned to caricature, do not the thoughts of the scholar or the hermit, though they speak no word, or something of their shape and impulse, pass into the general mind? Does not the emotion of some woman of fashion, caught in the subtle torture of self-analysing passion, pass down, although she speak no word, to Joan with her Pot, Jill with her Pail, and, it may be, with one knows not what nightmare melancholy, to Tom the Fool. Seeing that a vision could divide itself in divers complementary portions, might not the thought of philosopher or poet or mathematician depend at every moment of its progress upon the thought of others, perhaps at a great distance, and utterly unknown. Is there nation-wide multiform reverie, every mind passing from suggestion to suggestion, and all suggestions acting and reacting upon one another no matter how distant the minds, how dumb the lips? A man passed, as it were, casting a shadow, and yet one could never say which was man and which was shadow, or how many the shadows that he cast. Was not a nation, as distinguished from a crowd of chance comers, bound together by these parallel streams of thought, that unity of image, which I sought in national literature, merely the originating symbol?

When supernatural events begin, a man first doubts his own testimony, but when they repeat themselves again and again, he doubts all human testimony. At least he knows his own bias, and may perhaps allow for it, but how trust historian and psychologist that have for many hundred years ignored in writing of the history of the world, or of the human mind, so momentous a part of human experience? What else had they ignored and distorted? When Mesmerists first travelled about as public entertainers, a favourite trick was to tell a mesmerised man that some letter of the alphabet had ceased to exist, and after that to make him write his name upon the blackboard. Brown, or Jones, or Robinson would become without any surprise or hesitation, Rown, or Ones, or Obinson. Was modern civilization a conspiracy of the sub-conscious? Did we turn away from certain thoughts and things because the Middle Ages lived in terror of the dark, or had some seminal illusion been imposed upon us by Beings greater than ourselves for an unknown purpose? Even when no facts of experience were denied, might not what had seemed logical proof be but a mechanism of change, an automatic impulse? Once in London, at a dinner party, where all the guests were intimate friends, I had written upon a piece of paper, "In five minutes York Powell will talk of a burning house," thrust the paper under my neighbour's plate, and imagined my fire symbol, and waited in silence.

He was, however, strangely beset by the romance of Ireland, as he discovered it among the people who served him, sailing upon his ships or attending to his horses, and, though narrow and obstinate of opinion, and puritanical in his judgement of life, was perhaps the most tolerant man I have ever known. He never expected anybody to agree with him, and if you did not upset his habits by cheating him over a horse or by offending his taste, he would think as well of you as he did of other men, and that was not very well; and help you out of any scrape whatever. I was accustomed to people much better read than he, much more liberal-minded, but they had no life but the intellectual life, and if they and I differed, they could not take it lightly, and were often angry, and so for years now I had gone to Sligo, sometimes because I could not afford my Dublin lodging, but most often for freedom and peace. He would receive me with "I have learned that your friend So-and-So has been seen at the Gresham Hotel talking to Mr William Redmond. What will not people do for notoriety?" He considered all Irish Nationalist Members of Parliament as outside the social pale, but after dinner, when conversation grew intimate, would talk sympathetically of the Fenians in Ballina, where he spent his early manhood, or of the Fenian privateer that landed the wounded man at Sligo in the 'sixties. When Parnell was contesting an election at Sligo a little before his death, other Unionist magistrates refused or made difficulties when asked for some assistance, what I do not remember, made necessary under election law; and so my uncle gave that assistance. He walked up and down some Town Hall assembly-room or some courtroom with Parnell, but would tell me nothing of that conversation, except that Parnell spoke of Gladstone with extravagant hatred. He would not repeat words spoken by a great man in his bitterness, yet Parnell at the moment was too angry to care who listened. I knew one other man who kept as firm a silence; he had attended Parnell's last public meeting, and after it sat alone beside him, and heard him speak of the followers that were falling away, or showing their faint hearts; but Parnell was the chief devotion of his life. When I first began my visits, he had lived in the town itself, and close to a disreputable neighbourhood called the Burrough, till one evening, when he sat over his dinner, he heard a man and woman quarrelling under his window. "I mind the time," shouted the man, "when I slept with you and your daughter in the one bed."<noinclude></noinclude> 2wjasow6dei1skgi8ij40sg7uf06lkr The Biographical Dictionary of America/Ames, Samuel 0 4019039 12507713 2022-07-25T01:37:03Z Chiraq Bears 2621984 Created page with "{{header | title = [[The Biographical Dictionary of America]], [[The Biographical Dictionary of America/Volume 1|Volume 1]] | year = 1906 | author = Rossiter Johnson | section = Ames, Samuel | previous = [[../Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)|Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)]] | next = [[../Ammen, Daniel|Ammen, Daniel]] | wikipedia = Samuel Ames (jurist) | wikidata = Q47541934 | notes = }} <pages index="The Biog..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[The Biographical Dictionary of America]], [[The Biographical Dictionary of America/Volume 1|Volume 1]] | year = 1906 | author = Rossiter Johnson | section = Ames, Samuel | previous = [[../Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)|Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)]] | next = [[../Ammen, Daniel|Ammen, Daniel]] | wikipedia = Samuel Ames (jurist) | wikidata = Q47541934 | notes = }} <pages index="The Biographical Dictionary of America, vol. 01.djvu" header="" from="106" to="106" fromsection="s2" tosection="s2" /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Ames, Samuel}} [[Category:Biographies of judges]] sj78ympwkbv77yslviis282ngtm6839 Page:The Dial (Volume 73).djvu/95 104 4019040 12507714 2022-07-25T01:37:23Z Hilohello 2345291 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Hilohello" />{{rh||WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS|61}}</noinclude>My uncle was horrified, and moved into a little house about a quarter of a mile into the country, where he lived with an old second-sighted servant, and a man-servant to look after the racehorse that was browsing in the neighbouring field, with a donkey to keep it company. His furniture had not been changed since he set up house for himself as a very young man, and in a room opposite his dining-room were the saddles of his youth, and though he would soon give up riding, they would be oiled and the stirrups kept clean and bright till the day of his death. Some love-affair had gone wrong when he was a very young man; he had now no interest in women; certainly never sought favour of a woman, and yet he took great care of his appearance. He did not let his beard grow, though he had, or believed that he had, for he was hypochondriacal, a sensitiveness of the skin that forced him to spend an hour in shaving, and he would take to club and dumb-bell if his waist thickened by a hair's breadth, and twenty years after, when a very old man, he had the erect shapely figure of his youth. I often wondered why he went through so much labour, for it was not pride, which had seemed histrionic in his eyes—and certainly he had no vanity; and now, looking back, I am convinced that it was from habit, mere habit, formed when he was a young man, the best rider of his district. Probably through long association with Mary Battle, the second-sighted servant, he had come to believe much in the supernatural world, and would tell how several times, arriving home with an unexpected guest, he had found the table set for three, and that he himself had dreamed of his brother's illness in Liverpool before he had other news of it. He saw me using images learned from Macgregor to start reverie, and, though I held out for a long time, thinking him too old and habit-bound, he persuaded me to tell him their use, and from that on we experimented continually, and after a time I began to keep careful record. In summer he always had the same little house at Rosses Point, and it was there that he first became sensitive to the cabalistic symbols. There are some high sand- hills and low cliffs, and T adopted the practice of walking by the seashore while he walked on cliff or sandhill; I, without speaking, would imagine the symbol, and he would notice what passed before his mind's eye, and in a short time he would practically never fail of the appropriate vision. In the symbols which are used yellow and red are classified as "actives," while purple, green, and white are "passives," and I had soon discovered that if I used yellow and<noinclude></noinclude> p2vq5t8272sqyu8licpqbaknr8mu17e The Biographical Dictionary of America/Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts) 0 4019041 12507715 2022-07-25T01:38:57Z Chiraq Bears 2621984 Created page with "{{header | title = [[The Biographical Dictionary of America]], [[The Biographical Dictionary of America/Volume 1|Volume 1]] | year = 1906 | author = Rossiter Johnson | section = Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts) | previous = [[../Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877)|Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877)]] | next = [[../Ames, Samuel|Ames, Samuel]] | wikipedia = Oliver Ames (governor) | wikidata = Q440631 | notes =..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[The Biographical Dictionary of America]], [[The Biographical Dictionary of America/Volume 1|Volume 1]] | year = 1906 | author = Rossiter Johnson | section = Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts) | previous = [[../Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877)|Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877)]] | next = [[../Ames, Samuel|Ames, Samuel]] | wikipedia = Oliver Ames (governor) | wikidata = Q440631 | notes = }} <pages index="The Biographical Dictionary of America, vol. 01.djvu" header="" from="106" to="106" fromsection="s1" tosection="s1" /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)}} [[Category:Biographies of politicians]] k2b1uel2qjwkow4a3l51bqy5jv5iegw The Biographical Dictionary of America/Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877) 0 4019042 12507716 2022-07-25T01:40:35Z Chiraq Bears 2621984 Created page with "{{header | title = [[The Biographical Dictionary of America]], [[The Biographical Dictionary of America/Volume 1|Volume 1]] | year = 1906 | author = Rossiter Johnson | section = Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877) | previous = [[../Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1779–1863)|Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1779–1863)]] | next = [[../Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)|Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)]] | wikipedia = Oliver A..." wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[The Biographical Dictionary of America]], [[The Biographical Dictionary of America/Volume 1|Volume 1]] | year = 1906 | author = Rossiter Johnson | section = Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877) | previous = [[../Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1779–1863)|Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1779–1863)]] | next = [[../Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)|Ames, Oliver (governor of Massachusetts)]] | wikipedia = Oliver Ames Sr. | wikidata = Q23018196 | notes = }} <pages index="The Biographical Dictionary of America, vol. 01.djvu" header="" from="105" to="105" fromsection="s4" tosection="s4" /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Ames, Oliver (manufacturer, 1807–1877)}} [[Category:Biographies of manufacturers]] s662ceh8cg900glbot1td1ml47wqwz2 Page:The Apocryphal New Testament (1924).djvu/589 104 4019043 12507717 2022-07-25T01:42:36Z SnowFire 33258 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="SnowFire" />{{rvh|551|APOCALYPSE OF PAUL|APOCALYPSE OF PAUL}}</noinclude>Hail, Paul, dearly beloved of God and men. The Lord hath not grieved us, that we might see thee yet being in the body, before thou departedst out of the world. And every one of them signified his name unto me in order, from Ruben unto Benjamin; and Joseph said unto me: I am he that was sold; and I say unto thee, Paul, that ''for'' all that my brethren did unto me, in nothing did I deal evilly with them, not in all the labour which they laid upon me, nor did I hurt them in any thing (''Copt.'' kept no evil thought against them) from morning until evening. Blessed is he that is hurt for the Lord’s sake and hath endured, for the Lord will recompense him manifold more when he departeth out of the world. 48 While he yet spake I saw another coming from afar, beautiful, and his angels singing hymns, and I asked: Who is this, Lord, that is fair of countenance? And he said unto me: Dost thou not know him? And I said: No, Lord. And he said to me: This is Moses the lawgiver, unto whom God gave the law. And when he was nigh me, straightway he wept, and after that he greeted me; and I said unto him: Why weepest thou? for I have heard that thou excellest all men in meekness. And he answered, saying: I weep for them whom I planted with much labour, for they have borne no fruit, neither doth any of them do well. And I have seen all the sheep whom I fed that they are scattered and become as having no shepherd, and that all the labours which I have endured for the children of Israel are come to nought, and however great wonders I did in their midst [and] they understood not: and I marvel how the strangers and uncircumcised and idolaters are converted and entered into the promises of God, but Israel hath not entered in: and now I say unto thee, O brother Paul, that in that hour when the people hanged up Jesus whom thou preachest, God the Father of all, which gave me the law, and Michael and all the angels and archangels, and Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the righteous wept over the Son of God that was hanged on the cross. And in that hour all the saints waited upon me, looking on me.and saying: Behold, Moses, what they of thy people have done unto the Son of God. Therefore blessed art thou, O Paul, and blessed is the generation and people that hath believed thy word. 49 While he yet spake there came other twelve and saw me and said: Art thou Paul that is glorified in heaven and upon earth? And I answered and said: Who are ye? The first answered and said: I am Esaias whose head Manasses cut with a saw of wood. And the second said likewise: I am Jeremias who was stoned by the children of Israel, and slain.

Were we to form an estimate of Voltaire's character and transcendent ability through such a temperate non-sectarian writer as the Hon. John Morley, we would conclude with him that when the right sense of historical proportion is more fully developed in men's minds, the name of Voltaire will stand out like the names of the great decisive movements in the European advance, like the Revival of Learning, or the Reformation, and that the existence, character, and career of Voltaire constitute in themselves a new and prodigious era. We would further agree with Morley, that "no sooner did the rays of Voltaire's burning and far-shining spirit strike upon the genius of the time, seated dark and dead like the black stone of Memnon's statue, than the clang of the breaking chord was heard through Europe and men awoke in a new day and more spacious air." And we would probably say of Voltaire what he magnanimously said of his contemporary, Montesquieu, that "humanity had lost its title-deeds and he had recovered them."

Hugo says that "between two servants of humanity which appeared eighteen hundred years apart, there was indeed a mysterious relation," and we might even agree that the estimate of the young philanthropist Édouard de Pompery was temperate when he said, "Voltaire was the best Christian of his times, the first and most glorious disciple of Jesus." So whatever our authority, no matter how limited our investigation, the fact must be recognized that Voltaire, who gave to France her long-sought national epic in the ''Henriade'', was in the front rank of her poets. For nearly a century his tragedies and dramas held the boards to extravagant applause. Even from his enemies we learn that he kept himself abreast of his generation in all departments of literature, and won the world's homage as a king of philosophers in an age of philosophers and encyclopædists. He was the father of modern French, clear, unambiguous, witty without buffoonery, convincing without truculency, dignified without effort.

No matter what the reader's opinion of Voltaire's works may be, it will readily be conceded that without these translations of his comedies, tragedies, poems, romances, letters, and incomparable histories, the literature of the world would sustain an immeasurable loss, and that these forty-two exquisite volumes will endure as a stately monument, alike to the great master and the book-maker's artcraft he did so much to inspire. {{right|E.

But in the ordinary consciousness, unenlightened by philosophy, the will is at once confused with its manifestation, and what belongs only to the former is attributed to the latter, whence arises the illusion of the unconditioned freedom of the individual. Therefore Spinoza says rightly that if the projected stone had consciousness, it would believe that it flew of its own free will. For certainly the in-itself of the stone also is the will, which alone is free; but, as in all its manifestations, here also, where it appears as a stone, it is already fully determined. But of all this enough has already been said in the text of this work. Kant fails to understand and overlooks this immediate origin of the conception of freedom in every human consciousness, and therefore he now places (p. 533; V. 561) the source of that conception in a very subtle speculation, through which the unconditioned, to which the reason must always tend, leads us to hypostatise the conception of freedom, and it is only upon this transcendent Idea of freedom that the practical conception of it is supposed to be founded. In the "Critique of Practical Reason," § 6, and p. 158 of the fourth and 235 of Rosenkranz's edition, he yet deduces this last conception differently by saying that the categorical imperative presupposes it. The speculative Idea is accordingly only the primary source of the conception of freedom for the sake of this presupposition, but here it obtains both significance and application. Neither, however, is the case. For the delusion of a perfect freedom of the individual in his particular actions is most lively in the conviction of the least cultivated man who has never reflected, and it is thus founded on no speculation, although often assumed by speculation from without. Thus only philosophers, and indeed only the most profound of them, are free from it, and also the most thoughtful and enlightened of the writers of the Church.

But it springs directly from the consciousness in which each one recognises himself at once as the ''will, i.e.,'' as that which, as the thing in itself, has not the principle of sufficient reason for its form, and which itself depends upon nothing, but on which everything else rather depends. Every one, however, does not recognise himself at once with the critical and reflective insight of philosophy as a determined manifestation of this will which has already entered time, as we might say, an act of will distinguished from that will to live itself; and, therefore, instead of recognising his whole existence as an act of his freedom, he rather seeks for freedom in his individual actions. Upon this point I refer the reader to my prize-essay on the freedom of the will. Now if Kant, as he here pretends, and also apparently did in earlier cases, had merely inferred the thing in itself, and that with the great inconsistency of an inference absolutely forbidden by himself, what a remarkable accident would it then be that here, where for the first time he approaches the thing in itself more closely and explains it, he should recognise in it at once the ''will,'' the free will showing itself in the world only in temporal manifestations! I therefore really assume, though it cannot be proved, that whenever Kant spoke of the thing in itself, in the obscure depths of his mind he already always indistinctly thought of the will. This receives support from a passage in the preface to the second edition of the "Critique of Pure Reason," pp. xxvii. and xxviii., in Rosenkranz's edition, p. 677 of the Supplement. For the rest, it is just this predetermined solution of the sham third conflict that affords Kant the opportunity of expressing very beautifully the deepest thoughts of his whole philosophy.

(As a supplemental explanation of this passage, compare a parallel passage in the Critique of Practical Reason, p. 169-179 of the fourth edition, or p. 224-231 of Rosenkranz's edition.) It is yet all the more to be regretted that this is here not in its right place, partly because it is not found in the way which the exposition states, and therefore could be otherwise deduced than it is, partly because it does not fulfil the end for which it is there – the solution of the sham antinomy. The intelligible character, the thing in itself, is inferred from the phenomenon by the inconsistent use of the category of causality beyond the sphere of all phenomena, which has already been sufficiently condemned. In this case the will of man (which Kant entitles reason, most improperly, and with an unpardonable breach of all use of language) is set up as the thing in itself, with an appeal to an unconditioned ought, the categorical imperative, which is postulated without more ado. Now, instead of all this, the plain open procedure would have been to start directly from the will, and prove it to be the in-itself of our own phenomenal being, recognised without any mediation; and then to give that exposition of the empirical and the intelligible character to explain how all actions, although necessitated by motives, yet, both by their author and by the disinterested judge, are necessarily and absolutely ascribed to the former himself and alone, as depending solely upon him, to whom therefore guilt and merit are attributed in respect of them. This alone was the straight path to the knowledge of that which is not phenomenon, and therefore will not be found by the help of the laws of the phenomenon, but is that which reveals itself through the phenomenon, becomes knowable, {{hws|objec|objectifies}}<noinclude></noinclude> q2z46gjubdlzqpijwq1uah9409q47ju Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

It would then have had to be exhibited merely by analogy as the inner nature of every phenomenon. Then, however, it certainly could not have been said that in lifeless or even animal nature no faculty can be thought except as sensuously conditioned (p. 546; V. 574), which in Kant's language is simply saying that the explanation, according to the law of causality, exhausts the inner nature of these phenomena, and thus in their case, very inconsistently, the thing in itself disappears. Through the false position and the roundabout deduction according with it which the exposition of the thing in itself has received from Kant, the whole conception of it has also become falsified. For the will or the thing in itself, found through the investigation of an unconditioned cause, appears here related to the phenomenon as cause to effect. But this relation exists only within the phenomenal world, therefore presupposes it, and cannot connect the phenomenal world itself with what lies outside it, and is ''toto genere'' different from it. Further, the intended end, the solution of the third antinomy by the decision that both sides, each in a different sense, are right, is not reached at all. For neither the thesis nor the antithesis have anything to do with the thing in itself, but entirely with the phenomenon, the objective world, the world as idea. This it is, and absolutely nothing else, of which the thesis tries to show, by means of the sophistry we have laid bare, that it contains unconditioned causes, and it is also this of which the antithesis rightly denies that it contains such causes. Therefore the whole exposition of the transcendental freedom of the will, so far as it is a thing in itself, which is given here in justification of the thesis, excellent as it is in itself, is yet here entirely a {{greek missing}}. For the transcendental freedom of the will which is expounded is by no means the unconditioned causality of a cause, which the thesis asserts, because it is of the essence of a cause that it must be a phenomenon, and not {{hws|some|something}}<noinclude></noinclude> q4c84l9v6mkkf8dh5pb8hvabp1xyp0b Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

If what is spoken of is cause and effect, the relation of the will to the manifestation (or of the intelligible character to the empirical) must never be introduced, as happens here: for it is entirely different from causal relation. However, here also, in this solution of the antinomy, it is said with truth that the empirical character of man, like that of every other cause in nature, is unalterably determined, and therefore that his actions necessarily take place in accordance with the external influences; therefore also, in spite of all transcendental freedom (''i.e.,'' independence of the will in itself of the laws of the connection of its manifestation), no man has the power of himself to begin a series of actions, which, however, was asserted by the thesis. Thus also freedom has no causality; for only the will is free, and it lies outside nature or the phenomenon, which is just its objectification, but does not stand in a causal relation to it, for this relation is only found within the sphere of the phenomenon, thus presupposes it, and cannot embrace the phenomenon itself and connect it with what is expressly not a phenomenon. The world itself can only be explained through the will (for it is the will itself, so far as it manifests itself), and not through causality. But ''in the world,'' causality is the sole principle of explanation, and everything happens simply according to the laws of nature. Thus the right lies entirely on the side of the antithesis, which sticks to the question in hand, and uses that principle of explanation which is valid with regard to it; therefore it needs no apology. The thesis, on the other hand, is supposed to be got out of the matter by an apology, which first passes over to something quite different from the question at issue, and then assumes a principle of explanation which is inapplicable to it. The fourth conflict is, as has already been said, in its real meaning tautological with the third.

What noise was that that startled Ange out of his sleep? How heavy old Jeannette trod—she who always wore list shoes in the house! Ah, Ange must have overslept himself, and Jeannette must have on her sabots to go to market! But that sound—it was a key turning in a lock; and then, the sound of huge heavy doors being thrown open. "Where am I?" cried little Ange, getting up and rubbing his eyes; and then he stared round him, first amazed and then aghast. In the cathedral he had slept all night—in the cathedral! And then came the terrible thought of how old Jeannette would scold him, and how displeased Father Mathurin would be. And then he sat down and cried, fairly overpowered by this new trouble, dreading to go home, for fear of old Jeannette, and not knowing what in the world he should do. But then Ange dried his tears—for the thought of his dream came into his mind—and prayed that he might be guided to do that which was right; and then he rose and took off his little chorister's gown, and folded it up, as he usually did after service, and he smoothed his hair as well as he could, that he might not look disorderly, and walked out of the wide-opened church-door with a strengthened heart, prepared to make a full confession to Father Mathurin of how he had fallen asleep during his sermon, and slept all night in the cathedral. {{c|{{asc|CHAPTER II.}}}} {{sc|Ange}} ran all the way to Father Mathurin's; he would not stop a moment, or even walk slowly, for fear his courage should fail him. He intended to throw himself first at Father Mathurin's feet, and, if he should be so fortunate as to procure his pardon, to prevail upon him to intercede with old Jeannette, of whom poor Ange stood so greatly in dread. When Ange arrived at Father Mathurin's house, he was surprised to find a group of neighbours round the door, for it was yet very early, and he had quite forgotten that it was the day when the boys of the choir were paid their weekly salary. A mother or sister came with each boy; for though Father Mathurin gave the money into their own hands, yet, when all had been paid, he came to the door, spoke to the parents, and saw that the money was safely delivered up to them, that it might not be ill spent. But poor Ange had forgotten the importance of the day, his heart was so full of his dream, and he thought it was some especial malice on the part of old Jeannette to make his disgrace more public. Poor Ange's heart sunk within him, and he would fain have run away; but there seemed a strange new strength, not his own, supporting him, and he made his way manfully through the little crowd. Jeannette stood on the door-step, talking to the neighbours; but, when Ange came near her, she caught hold of him, and, turning his little face towards her, said, "Why, how bright thou art! Where hast thou been so early?" And when Ange had passed, he heard her say to the neighbours, "Is he not a beautiful boy, our Ange?" Ange was quite bewildered. It seemed as though he was still dreaming. How strange that Jeannette should be so kind! How strange that she should never have missed him! And so Ange, lost in these conjectures, tried to find his way to Father Mathurin's room, but he was too late: the boys were all coming out. Ange was very glad it was over, for he dreaded being disgraced before the other boys, and he knew he had done very wrong to fall asleep during Father Mathurin's sermon; so he crept quietly into Father Mathurin's room, and waited till he should come back again. Now Ange had a little room all to himself, at Father Mathurin's house, and every night Jeannette put his supper there while he was at the evening service; for she loved to spend the evening with Margot, and then they gossipped together merrily about their neighbours, which they would not have liked to do so well if Ange had been with them in the kitchen; and Father Mathurin always spent the evening alone, reading and writing, and it would have annoyed him very much to have such a little boy as Ange in the room with him. So Ange always spent the evening quite alone; and so it was that neither Jeannette nor Father Mathurin knew that he had been out of the house all night. "Ange!" and Ange started up hastily, and his heart throbbed very much, for it was Father Mathurin who had entered the room, and the tone of his voice was angry; "How is it that thou hast lain in bed so late this morning? dost thou not know how many temptations laziness leadeth thee into?" "Father," answered Ange, more and more surprised, "I have never been in bed all night. I am very, very sorry, but I fell asleep during your sermon, and I slept all night in the cathedral, and it was not till Pierre opened the doors this morning that I awoke and ran here. Do, do forgive me," and little Ange clasped his hands together and looked up in Father Mathurin's face. "Poor, poor child," and something like a tear glistened in his eye, and his heart smote him for this poor little one; for who but a desolate and uncared-for child could have been a whole night away from his home and none miss him? Ange had no kind mother or sister to take his money, so that he always gave his weekly salary back to Father Mathurin, but this day Father Mathurin told Ange to keep it.

[Aug. -1, 1B55.]</noinclude>environs, an interest which will be easily understood, and which tilled the hall with an anxious and overflowing throng. The bitter reproaches which Lesnier's advocate directly addressed against the three accused were richly deserved, although they do not accord with our forms of criminal justice. Monsieur the President Delange summed up. The jury, after an hour and half's consideration, replied negatively to the questions of homicide and incendiarism relative to Lespagne, and affirmatively to those of blows resulting ill death, without the intention of causing it, and of subornation of false witnesses. The woman Lespagne and Daignaud were declared guilty of false witness. Attenuating circumstances were admitted in favour of the three accused. In consequence of this verdict, the three accused were each condemned to twenty years of hard labour. What the "attenuating circumstances" were, Heaven may know, but no mortal can guess, unless M. Lesnier will have the magnanimity to suggest any in his forthcoming autobiography. All that one is able to make out of the meaning of "attenuating circumstances" in France is, that they are the representatives, in so many letters and syllables, of an unwillingness to strike the last irrevocable blow; they are the sobering influence which time interposes between the commission of a crime and its punishment; they are the angels of mercy who shout to justice, "Beware lest preventive punishment become revenge and retaliation!" they are benevolent fictions raised to temper the severity of deserved retribution; they are the John Does and the Richard Roes of judicial forbearance. M. Gergerès instituted proceedings at civil law demanding the sum of fifty thousand francs damages. The court, in a subsequent audience devoted to this decision, allowed ten thousand francs damages to Lesnier. It now rests with the supreme court (perhaps it may be done already) to cancel the sentence of July eighteen hundred and forty-eight, as irreconcilable with that of March, eighteen hundred and fifty-five, and to remand the accused before a new court, to pronounce a final and definitive judgment on their fate. The man Lespague will probably get hard labour for life. The immense revulsion in the tide of Lesnier's existence can be appreciated only by himself; and scarcely by himself, yet. It takes time for such a series of events to ferment, and work themselves clear, in a man's thoughts and feelings. Lookers on can only say, that if similar judicial errors are happily becoming rarer from year to year, the real point to be arrived at is, to make their commision impossible. Again, too, that if committed, they should not be irretrievable. No man living can be secure that he shall never be the object of unfounded accusations; no man can be sure of not being surprised, unconsciously mixed up with doubtful and even suspicious circumstances. And if things go wrong; if a sentence past recal is pronounced—without entertaining the entire abolition of the punishment of death in certain cases—the facts thus briefly related are sufficient to make us ponder seriously the question, whether we have a right to hang, or not, criminals who have been found guilty of murder, by twelve men of fallible judgment, except upon evidence that amounts to demonstration of guilt. The newspapers report that one of the jury, who condemned Lesnier, went and shook hands with him, expressing at the same time his regrets and his felicitations. We can sympathise with the tempest and struggle in that juror's mind, and congratulate him on the happiness he must feel now, on remembering that Lesnier was only sentenced to hard labour for life. But the judge who has ever hung an innocent man—can he banish from his presence, by night or by day, the earnest, tearful, pale, protesting phantom, to whom the last words he deigned to address were, "the Lord have mercy on {{asc|YOUR SOUL}}!" In a French newspaper, bearing the date of July the eleventh, eighteen hundred and fifty-five, appears the following : "By order of the Emperor, his Excellency the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, has just named Monsieur Lesnier, Son, government commissary to the coal-mine company of La Mayenne and La Sarthe. Monsieur Lesnier, late schoolmaster, condemned in eighteen hundred and forty-seven, to hard labour for life for murder and arson, had, by his exemplary conduct, merited the confidence of the commissaire of the Bagne, who employed him in his office when, seven years after his condemnation, his innocence was completely demonstrated, thanks to the pious and active devotion of his father. In consequence of a judgment pronounced against the real perpetrators of the double crime, whose manœuvres had misled the authorities, he has been discharged, by a decree of the Court of Assizes of the Haute Garonne of the twenty-seventh of June, from the accusation brought against him. This formal reparation did not completely pay the debt owed by society; and it has been the wish of his majesty, in giving M. Lesnier an honourable employment, to repair the ruin brought upon him by a fatal judicial error." This is satisfactory, and as it should be. But if M. Lesnier, instead of being condemned to forced work for life, had been buried in quicklime within the precincts of a jail, all the reparation that society and the Secretary of State could have made would be the restoration of what remained of his remains to his friends, to receive the posthumous compliment of decent burial. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{c|{{xx-smaller|Published at the Office, No. 15, Wellington Street North, strand.

He immediately mixed the drug with the poison. Now, it was the peculiarity of the Public-Office trade that the wholesale dealers were constantly retiring from business, and having successors. A new dealer came into possession of the already adulterated stock, and he, in his turn, infused into it a fresh quantity of Noodledom from his own private store. Then, on his retirement, came another dealer who did the same; then, on ''his'' retirement, another dealer who did the same; and so on. Thus, many of the samples before the Commission, positively contained nothing but Noodledom—enough, in short, to paralyze the whole country. To the question, whether the useful properties of the drug before the Commission were not of necessity impaired by these malpractices, Mr. Bull replied, that all the samples were perniciously weakened, and that half of them were good for nothing. To the question, how he would remedy a state of things so much to be deplored, Mr. Bull replied, that he would take the drug out of the hands of mercenary dealers altogether. Mr. Bull next exhibited three or four samples of Lawn-sleeves, warranted at the various establishments from which they had been procured, to be fine and spotless, but evidently soiled and composed of inferior materials ill made up. On one pair, he pointed out extensive stains of printer's-ink, of a very foul kind; also a coarse interweaving, which on examination clearly betrayed, without the aid of the microscope, the fibres of the thistle, Old Bailey Attorneyism. A third pair of these sleeves, though sold as white, were really nothing but the ordinary Mammon pattern, chalked over—a fact which Mr. Bull showed to be beyond dispute, by merely holding them up to the light. He represented this branch of industry as over-stocked, and in an unhealthy condition. There were then placed upon the table, several samples of British Peasant, to which Mr. Bull expressed himself as particularly solicitous to draw the attention of the Commision, with one plain object: the good of his beloved country. He remarked that with that object before him, he would not inquire into the general condition, whether perfectly healthy or otherwise, of any of the samples now produced. He would not ask, whether this specimen or that men might have been stronger, larger, better fitted for wear and tear, and less liable to early decay, if the human creature were reared with a little more of such care, study, and attention, as were rightfully bestowed on the vegetable world around it. But, the samples before the Commission had been obtained from every county in England, and, though brought from opposite parts of the kingdom, were alike deficient in the ability to defend their country by handling a gun or a sword, or by uniting in any mode of action, as a disciplined body. It was said in a breath, that the English were not a military people, and that they made (equally on the testimony of their friends and enemies), the best soldiers in the world. He hoped that in a time of war and common danger he might take the liberty of putting those opposite assertions into the crucible of Common Sense, consuming the Humbug, and producing the Truth—at any rate he would, whether or no. Now, he begged to inform the Commission that, in the samples before them and thousands of others, he had carefully analysed and tested the British Peasant, and had found him to hold in combination just the same qualities that he always had possessed. Analysing and testing, however, as a part of the inquiry, certain other matters not fairly to be separated from it, he (Mr. Bull) had found the said Peasant to have been some time ago disarmed by lords and gentlemen who were jealous of their game, and by administrations—hirers of spies and suborners of false witnesses—who were jealous of their power. "So, if you wish to restore to these samples," said Mr. Bull, "the serviceable quality that I find to be wanting in them, and the absence of which so much surprises you, be a little more patriotic and a little less timorously selfish; trust your Peasant a little more; instruct him a little better, in a freeman's knowledge—not in a good child's merely; and you will soon have your Saxon Bowmen with percussion rifles, and may save the charges of your Foreign Legion." Having withdrawn the samples to which his observations referred—the production whereof, in connection with Mr. Bull's remarks, had powerfully impressed the assembled Commission, some of whom even went so far as to register vows on the spot that they would look into this matter some day—Mr. Bull laid before the Commission a great variety of extremely fine specimens of genuine British Job. He expressed his opinion that these thriving Plants upon the public property, were absolutely immortal: so surprisingly did they flourish, and so perseveringly were they cultivated. Job was the only article he had found in England, in a perfectly unadulterated state. He congratulated the Commission on there being at least one commodity enjoyed by Great Britain, with which nobody successfully meddled, and of which the Public always had an ample supply, unattended by the smallest prospect of failure in the perennial crop. On the subsidence of the sensation of pleasure with which this gratifying announcement was received, Mr. Bull informed the Commission, that he now approached the most serious and the most discouraging part of his task. He would not shrink from a faith-<noinclude></noinclude> 3n1o8nlvim3o1yhh35m1dn7xc17vxpi Page:Spiritual Reflections for Every Day in the Year - Vol 2.pdf/258 104 4019085 12507832 2022-07-25T03:45:20Z Jpez 1761489 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jpez" /></noinclude>cannot transgress those laws which omnipotent wisdom has laid down. To be the just and Omnipotent Being I am, I must be regulated by the same laws of justice which I impose upon you. If you are in a state, the one to sit at My right hand, the other at My left, you will assuredly sit there; but, or except, you are in such a state of preparation, I cannot violate the laws of order, and interpose My omnipotence to sanction a manifest injustice; therefore a seat at My right hand, and at My left, are not mine to give, except to such as have prepared themselves to enjoy it." That this is the obvious meaning, and that the Lord does possess omnipotence—but an omnipotence always guided by divine justice—may be inferred from what is recorded of Him in the following words:—"When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory. "And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on His left. Then shall the king say to them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." ([[Bible (King James)/Matthew#25:31|Matt. xxv. 31, 33, 34.]]) After this follows the condition of their acceptance, namely, a good and useful life, as well as a belief in the Lord. Therefore, in the case of Zebedee's children and their ambitious mother, the plain and obvious instruction is, that the Lord is not like an earthly sovereign, who makes choice of a particular person or persons, and elevates them to high dignities and honours, and by favouritism, keeps them always near his royal person.

Another model which occurs to me is that interesting series of books, documents and extracts published by the Clarendon Press under the general title of ''Anecdota Oxoniensia.'' We are proud that our countryman, Mr. Morris Jones, has contributed one scholarly work to that splendid series, but my hope is that books such as his will form part of a collection which would do for Wales what that valuable collection has done for research more especially relating to Oxford and life in Oxford.

To believe even the greatest of truths, without a life corresponding therewith, is of no avail. "Thou believest," says the Apostle James, "that there is one God; thou doest well; the devils also believe, and tremble." But if this belief had been all that was sufficient, then had the devils never been devils. " Have the faith, of God;" this is the true faith, and it is a faith which carries blessing with it, because to the knowledge of God is added a life of practical goodness, It is most desirable that every one should form Just ideas of faith; and to help him to do so, the Supreme Being has put into our hands his Word of truth, accompanying it with this injunction, "Search<noinclude></noinclude> okjflbuvuprlayhcf6tyifeu6o4q036 Page:Spiritual Reflections for Every Day in the Year - Vol 2.pdf/260 104 4019088 12507843 2022-07-25T03:56:39Z Jpez 1761489 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jpez" /></noinclude>the Scriptures! in them ye have eternal life, and they are they which testify of me." The great cause of diversity of belief, and of erroneous faith, is neglect of obedience to this plain injunction. Instead of searching the Scriptures for themselves, men have taken for granted what others have said, and have thus forfeited their own freedom; which was actually forfeiting their life, for it is freedom of will which renders us accountable in the sight of God, and no man can relinquish this freedom without criminality. If we could, from the mouth of infinite wisdom itself, learn in what true faith consisted, and if from this knowledge we could be led into the full enjoyment of heaven, it is presumed there would be an end of the controversy. And so there would, but that men refuse to be convinced even by this testimony. Let us hear what our duty is:—"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbour as thyself. This do, and thou shalt live." ([[Bible (King James)/Luke#10:27|Luke x. 27, 28]]) Can anything be plainer? This is the true faith. It is an epitome of the whole book of God, for on it hangs all the law and the prophets. Love, then, may be said to be the animating cause, or soul of faith. As if there were no heat in the sun, there could be no vivification merely because it emitted light, so without this principle of holy love, there could be no living and true faith. We have a plain rule, then, for distinguishing the faith which is of God, and the faith which is of man. The faith of God is a belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, as the true God in whom all fulness dwells, It is a faith filled with a principle of humble and confiding love, It is a faith which takes the<noinclude></noinclude> eygqqh4cpf3ociicqm667bvkgdo87bw Page:Spiritual Reflections for Every Day in the Year - Vol 2.pdf/261 104 4019089 12507846 2022-07-25T03:57:43Z Jpez 1761489 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "greatest delight in doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly before the Lord.

MONG the innumerable proofs that the divine providence superintends all, and extends his care to every single thing, the sacred Scriptures may be cited as bearing the most undoubted evidence. How much misunderstanding would be removed were men to consider that they, being finite, and God infinite. His Word cannot at all times be understood at first reading; that our duty is patiently to study it, before we assign qualities to it, or fix upon it arbitrary comparisons which it will not bear. Yet evenin this work of man, the providence of the Lord is seen visible, and words with which men have sought to improve, or as they imagined, to throw a greater or clearer light upon the text, are printed in a different type, to shew that they are not to be found in the original.

After the blessings of the Sabbath, the refreshment of our bodies by sleep prepares us again for the labour of another week, and brings us before Thee to supplicate Thy divine aid that those labours may be faithfully and effectually performed. Upon Thee, O Lord, we depend for help in every time of need. Thou art the Father of our spirits; hold Thou us up, and we shall be safe. Help us to acquire spirits of dependence and resignation to Thy will, that we may so bend to Thy providential dispensations as to submit to all Thy wisdom shall ordain or permit, not only without murmuring, but with cheerful resignation, as knowing that the infinity of Thy wisdom cannot but arrange all things for our present and future good. May we in truth pray that Thy will may be done. In the prosecution of our various avocations may diligence distinguish us; never may we be slothful in business; but grant that this activity may not originate in the desire of worldly distinction, or in an undue anxiety to acquire wealth; but, as Thou knowest what we have need of before we ask Thee, we commit ourselves to Thee, and pray only for that which is needful. {{gap|.7em}} Amen.

We employ them to designate superiority and inferiority of character, or of mental and moral attributes. Thus we speak familiarly of a ''high'' order of intellect, of a ''high''-minded man, of ''lofty'' souls, ''superior'' worth, ''exalted'' wisdom and love. We say of an individual that he stands ''high'' in the community, ''high'' in the church or in the state, that he is ''above'' others, etc., when our meaning is that he is spiritually or mentally above them—superior in wisdom, skill, integrity, and moral worth. And equally often in familiar discourse is the word ''low'' used in a similar way. As when it is said of a mean and selfish man, that he is a person of a ''low'' mind, ''low'' desires, ''low'' motives, or that he is a ''low'' fellow. Indeed, the correspondence between the natural and spiritual import of these terms, is so obvious that it has never been lost sight of. Every one perceives it from common influx. The Lord is called the ''Most High'' in Scripture, and is said to dwell ''on high, above'' the earth, and ''above'' the heavens. Surely it is not with any reference to natural locality that such things are predicated of the omnipresent One. No rational mind thinks of interpreting such language literally; for no one thinks of localizing the Divine Being. He is in all space—in the depths beneath as truly as in the heights above—yet is Himself without space. But on account of the infinite purity and excellence of his character—because, in respect to the human attributes of love, wisdom and power, He is infinitely<noinclude></noinclude> pgzz5b7kqen9cnf4cuay4m2l8vvqsi7 Page:The New View of Hell.djvu/63 104 4019109 12507895 2022-07-25T04:45:23Z Jpez 1761489 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jpez" /></noinclude>exalted above men and angels, He is said to be above all the earth, above the heavens, the Most High, etc. Yes:—The Scripture has everywhere a deeper meaning than that of the letter. It was given, not to teach us natural but spiritual truth. And it is by means of the law or rule of correspondence now revealed, that its true spiritual meaning is to be elicited. Space corresponds to state. And the words ''high'' and ''low,'' therefore, which in their natural sense refer to opposite regions of space, in their spiritual sense denote opposite mental states—opposite kinds of love. The Lord is spiritually the Most High. Therefore those who draw near to Him spiritually, who become like Him in the spirit and temper of their minds, are spiritually exalted. And because all the angels are images and likenesses of Himself—because they resemble Him in their love, wisdom and works—because their affections, thoughts, motives, purposes are all pure, noble and elevated, therefore they are said to dwell ''on high;'' or, what is equivalent, ''in heaven.'' And on the other hand those who are spiritually most remote from the Lord, who are most unlike Him in disposition and character, whose aims are altogether selfish, whose affections, thoughts, motives and actions are low and ignoble, and contrary to the nature of the Divine Love, and who are, therefore, in a state the very opposite to that of the angels, are said to dwell in a ''low place, beneath the earth;'' or what is the same, ''in hell.''

Here, again, let that magic Key, the law of Correspondence, be applied; and observe the result. Light and darkness, like all other objects, have a two-fold signification—an outer and an inner, or a natural and a spiritual meaning. Light in its natural sense, is the light of the natural world, which affects our natural organs of vision. But spiritual light is of a different nature, though in perfect correspondence with the natural. It is the light of the spiritual world; and although in its essence it is divine truth, it appears before the eyes of the angels as light. They see by means of it. This light proceeds from the Lord who is the Sun of the spiritual world—a Sun that appears to the angels immeasurably more brilliant than the sun of our world appears to us. It is the light of this spiritual Sun which illumines the minds of both angels and men. This is "the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." And as natural darkness is the absence of natural light, so spiritual darkness is the absence of spiritual light. But there are two causes of natural darkness; one is the absence of light, and the other is a diseased state of the organs of vision. The darkness from the first of these causes is seldom of long duration; and if the<noinclude></noinclude> 65v3rycdgne8crlh6e1wfw7k1e6fh89 Page:The New View of Hell.djvu/65 104 4019111 12507907 2022-07-25T04:51:25Z Jpez 1761489 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jpez" /></noinclude>organs of vision are preserved in a healthy condition, we shall be able to see when the light comes. But the darkness produced by the second cause is, indeed, deplorable. However brightly the light may shine, it is (if the eye-sight be gone) as if the sun were blotted out. The brightness of noon-day is as midnight darkness to us. So, likewise, there are two corresponding causes of spiritual darkness. One is, the absence of truth, or spiritual light. But this kind of darkness may soon be dispersed. For a person may be ignorant, and therefore in spiritual darkness yet he may preserve his mind in such an honest and healthy condition, that he will be able to understand and receive the truth so soon as it is presented to him. But there is another and far more deplorable kind of spiritual darkness. It is that which results from disobedience to the known laws of the heavenly life. It is the darkness into which those fall, who, under the influence of selfish and evil loves, confirm themselves in various false ideas contrary to the revealed Word of the Lord. For everywhere and always is it true, that "he who doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved." Persons who, under the prompting influence of infernal loves, disregard and trample on the laws of their inner life, and so obscure their moral perceptions, come at last to hate the light of truth, and shun it as owls and bats shun the light of day.

And however bright the truth may shine, they do not see it. To them it appears as falsity. They "put darkness for light and light for darkness." Therefore the Lord says: "If thine eye be single [or more correctly, ''sound, healthy''] thy whole body shall be full of light; but if thine eye be evil [i. e., ''unsound, diseased''], thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If, therefore, the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" [[Bible (King James)/Matthew#6:22|Matt. vi. 22, 23.]] Agreeably to this, Swedenborg often tells us that the denizens of heaven dwell in light inconceivably more brilliant than the light of this world; while those in hell live in great darkness—for their understandings are darkened by innumerable falsities originating in evil lusts. Milton had a perception of this great truth when he sang: {{center block|{{smaller block|{{fqm}}He that hath light within his own clear breast,<br /> May sit in the centre and enjoy bright day;<br /> But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts,<br /> Benighted walks under the mid-day sun,<br /> Himself is his own dungeon."}}}} There is a great darkness ''within'' all evil spirits, and this produces the darkness ''without;'' for in the other world everything without is but the reflection, under the great law of correspondence, of the state or quality of life within.

Neither do evil men, whose understandings are darkened by falsities originating in evil loves. They even imagine themselves in clearer light than others. And so do the devils think they see far better than the angels. But their light is the light of fatuity—the dim (yet mercifully accommodated) light of perverted natures—which, compared with the light that shines in heaven, is as the light from ignited coals compared with the splendor of the noon-day sun. From what has been said, and from the correspondence of light and darkness, we may see why the Divine Saviour—the embodiment and living manifestation of the Truth—calls himself "the light of the world"; and why He says to those who had not previously known the truth, but had nevertheless kept themselves in a state to receive it, "They that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined." We may see also why it is said that "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all"; and of the wicked, that "they walk in darkness," and will finally be "cast into the ''outer'' darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth." All who do not, while here on earth, resist and overcome their evil loves, find themselves in that "outer darkness" when they enter the other world; for through the indulgence of their evil lusts they shut out the light of God and the things of his wisdom from their minds.

The heart and hand of the Arab are remembered, his blood is to be avenged, but his spirit haunts not the rocks any more than that of his dead camel. The heritage of blood is a material burden which must be taken up and borne; it is no ghost-voice crying from the grave. All this is in keeping with the clan spirit which turns away from the shadow-world of kinsmen, where punishment or reward are yet unknown, to the sphere of the dead man's achievements and the very real work of revenge. For the murdered Arab is only the central figure of a group; around and behind him move his avenging kin, and even the virtues he possesses are rather those of a kinsman than of an individual in our modern conceptions of character. In Burckhardt's ''Notes on the Bedouins and Wahabys''<ref>Vol. i. p. 149.</ref> occurs a passage which, as fully describing this communal nature of Arab Blood-revenge, deserves to be here quoted; it will show how widely the personal vengeance of a Bothwellhaugh is socially separated from the feelings of clan duty. "It is a received law among the Arabs that whoever sheds the blood of a man owes blood on that account to the family of the slain person; the law is sanctioned by the Qurʾân, which says, 'Whoever shall be unjustly slain, we have given to his heir the power of demanding satisfaction.' The Arabs, however, do not strictly observe the command of their holy volume; they claim the blood not only from the actual homicide but from all his relations, and it is these claims which constitute the right of ''Thâr,'' or Blood-revenge. … This rests within the ''Khomse,'' or fifth generation, those having a right to avenge whose fourth lineal ascendant is at the same time the fourth lineal ascendant of the person slain; and, on the other hand, only those male kindred<noinclude>{{center block|{{smallrefs}}}}</noinclude> 4rdycbys1v9hooilbumr8k1fhc9luwt Page:The New View of Hell.djvu/68 104 4019115 12507919 2022-07-25T05:05:40Z Jpez 1761489 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jpez" /></noinclude>heaven, having no heaven, and no love for the things which constitute heaven, in their hearts. Whatever truths they have ever known, they now reject and turn away from, because such truths condemn their evil loves. And so they immerse themselves altogether in falsities, for these are in agreement with their evils. Hence there are endless strifes and bickerings among them; for each one fights for his own falsity, and calls it truth. And the jarring discord and angry disputes among those who are in falsities, joined also with mutual hatred, derision and contempt, are what the ''gnashing of teeth'' corresponds to, and what it, therefore, spiritually denotes. {{c|{{smaller block|GEHENNA AND THE LAKE OF FIRE.}}}} But the Bible speaks of a ''fire'' in the great Hereafter—of the fire of hell, the everlasting fire, a furnace of fire; a lake burning with fire and brimstone, etc. And in this hell-fire, or lake of fire, it is said that the wicked will have their part. And the rich man in the parable is represented as saying, "I am tormented in this ''flame;''"—and this, after he had died and was buried. I presume few intelligent Christians now-a-days think of interpreting such language according to the strict sense of the letter—as it was interpreted a hundred years ago. They will tell you that this language is figurative, though none of them may be able to tell precisely what was meant to be conveyed by it.

Exod. xx. 5, "Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, ''upon the third and upon the fourth generation'' of them that hate me (ʾal shilléshîm ve-ʾal ribbéʾim).</ref> … The right of ''Thâr'' is never lost; it descends on both sides to the latest generations. It depends upon the next relation of the slain person to accept the price of blood. If he will not agree to the offered price of blood, the homicide and all his relations who are comprised within the ''Khomse'' take refuge with some tribe where the arm of vengeance cannot reach them. … A sacred custom allows the fugitives three days and four hours, during which no pursuit after them is made. These exiles are styled ''djelâwy,'' and some of them are found in almost every camp. The ''djelâwys'' remain in exile till their friends have effected a reconciliation, and prevailed on the nearest relations of the slain to accept the price of blood. Families of ''djelâwys'' are known to have been fugitives from one tribe to another (according as these became friendly or hostile to their original tribe) for more than fifty years." § 38. It is not difficult to collect examples of Blood-revenge inspiring the early poetry of the Arabs. Thus another poem of the ''Hamâseh'' begins— {{dhr}} {{center block|{{smaller block|{{fqm|"}}Surely shall I wash the blood-stain<br /> {{em|1}}With my sword away,<br /> Ay, whatever fate of Allâh<br /> {{em|1}}Come across my way!"<ref>''Ham.,'' p. 355.</ref>}}}} {{dhr}} In another poem of the same anthology an ideal warrior is described as {{center block|{{smaller block|{{em|4}}"A man who girdeth night on;<br /> Seldom cometh sleep for him; his greatest care<br /> Is vengeance and to break the ranks right on."<ref>''Ibid.,'' p. 405.

He has given us the spiritual meaning of hell-fire, or the Gehenna of fire, and told us what it is in the human soul that fire corresponds to. But as the literal sense is the foundation of the spiritual, it is necessary always to give careful attention to this first. In the original Greek, ''Gehenna'' is the word translated ''hell,'' where the fire of hell, or the hell of fire, is spoken of. And ''Gehenna'' is a Hebrew word transplanted into the Greek, with but little variation in its form. It is composed of two other Hebrew words. ''Gai'' or ''Gē,'' which means a valley, and ''Hinnom,'' the name of a man. The literal meaning, therefore, of ''Gehenna'' is, the ''valley of Hinnom''. This valley was south-east of, and near to Jerusalem. The brook Kedron ran through it. Here the Jews at one time practiced the most impious idolatry. They had an image dedicated to Moloch, to which they offered in sacrifice not only bulls, lambs, rams, etc., but even their own children, who were placed in the arms of the image previously heated by a fire within, and thus were quickly destroyed. On this account the place subsequently came to be regarded with such abhorrence, that it was made the common receptacle of all the filth and rubbish of the city. The dead bodies of animals as well as of the most notorious criminals, were there thrown into one common heap.

The Arab's sense of honour has been compared with the feelings of medieval chivalry; Antar has been called the Bayard of Pagan Arabia; and the Arabs of the days of Ignorance (that is, before the Prophet's birth) have been described as the forerunners of our Western chivalry. In all this there is but a grain of truth. No doubt the Arabs in Spain and during the Crusades often supplied models of chivalrous deportment to European knights. But, in the first place, the old clan feelings of the Arabs underwent great changes during the Mohammedan conquests, and under the military organisation such conquests required. Feelings of honour resembling those of the German ''gefolge'' towards their military chief were developed and tended more and more to take the place of clan ties. Moreover, without some such loosening of these ties, without some such expansion of Arab sentiments as these conquering hosts brought about, it is hard to see how the common creed of Islâm could have subdued the tribal antipathies with which it had a long and troublesome contest. But these poems of Blood-revenge display feelings of duty and honour altogether older than the chivalry of Christian knight or Moslem soldier, just in this, that clan kinship—not military service, or nationality, or universal religion—is still the bond of social union.

The communal character of Arab honour is therefore to be carefully distinguished from any bonds of military service; and the poetry of Blood-revenge illustrates the distinction more accurately perhaps than any other. To another and final example of such poetry we accordingly turn—the Moʾallaqah of Zuheyr. This poem has been excellently translated by Mr. C. J. Lyall,<ref>''Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal,'' 1878.</ref> and wherever the exact words are offered we shall avail ourselves of Mr. Lyall's translation in the following sketch of its contents:—The pasture-lands which the tribesmen leave at the end of spring are deserted, and over the camping ground of Umm Aufa's tents—those "black lines that speak no word in the stony plains"—roam "the large-eyed kine, and the deer pass to and fro." Umm Aufa was the poet's wife, whom one day in an angry mood he had divorced; since then he had repented and prayed her to return, but she would not. Here where her tents had stood he stands and gazes—twenty years have passed since last he saw the spot—hard was it to find again "the black stones in order ranged in the place where the pot was set, and the trench,<ref>Dug round the tent to receive the rain.</ref> like a cistern's root, with its sides unbroken still." Then the poet turns to the praises of the makers of peace for the clans of ʿAbs and Dubyân, and swears, "by the Holy House which worshippers circle round," the Kaʿbeh, that the work of peacemaking is good. "Busily wrought they for peace when the kin had been rent in<noinclude>{{dhr}} {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> lt4a7tk0ei07sun9nfodnpxxfjvnaw3 Page:Baladhuri-Hitti1916.djvu/116 104 4019120 12507927 2022-07-25T05:20:30Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rvh|100|''{{uc|Section}}''|''THE ORIGINS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE''}}</noinclude>'In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful.

It is to assist the general reader in forming such a conception that the present consolidation is made. It is now two hundred and twenty years since the learned Dr. Lightfoot published his celebrated harmony of the four Gospels; and very many others have labored in this Held during these two centuries.

He therefore expelled them and wrote to them the following statement: "Greetings! Whomever of the people of Syria and al-ʿIrâḳ they happen to come across, let him clear for them tillable land; and whatever land they work, becomes theirs in place of their land in al-Yaman." Thus the people of Najrân were dispersed, some settling in Syria and others in an-Najrâniyah in the district of al-Kûfah, after whom it was so named. The Jews of Najrân were included with the Christians in the terms and went with them as their followers. ''{{ul|The Najranites under ʿUthmân}}.''

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, "This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for he was before me.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, "This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me; for he was before me. And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> ek00i0ajfvmtqxfpkalo307vti5qbvw

very high mountain in the island of Panay, called Mayas. The souls of the Yligueynes, who comprise the people of Çubu, Bohol, and Bantay, go with the god called Sisiburanen, to a very high mountain in the island of Burney. ''The god Sidapa.'' They say that there is in the sky another god, called Sidapa. This god possesses a very tall tree on mount Mayas. There he measures the lives of all the new-born, and places a mark on the tree; when the person's stature equals this mark, he dies immediately. ''Belief concerning the destination of souls.'' It is believed that at death all souls go directly to the infernal regions; but that, by means of the ''maganitos,'' which are the sacrifices and offerings made to the god Pandaque in sight of the mount of Mayas, they are redeemed from Simuran and Siguinarugan, gods of the lower regions. It is said that, when the Yligueynes die, the god Maguayen carries them to Inferno. When he has carried them thither in his barangay, Sumpoy, another god, sallies forth, takes them away, and leads them to Sisiburanen, the god before mentioned, who keeps them all. Good or bad alike, he takes them all on equal terms, when they go to Inferno. But the poor, who have no one to offer sacrifices for them, remain forever, in the inferno, and the god of those regions eats them, or keeps them forever in prison. From this it will be seen how little their being good or bad avails them, and how much reason they have to hate poverty. ''Baylanas.''

These sacrifices are called ''baylanes,'' and the priestesses, or the men who perform this office, are also called ''baylanes.'' The priestesses dress very gaily, with garlands on their heads, and are resplendent with gold. They bring to the place of sacrifice some ''pitarrillas'' (a kind of earthen jar) full of rice-wine, besides a live hog and a quantity of prepared food. Then the priestess chants her songs and invokes the demon, who appears to her all glistening in gold. Then he enters her body and hurls her to the ground, foaming at the mouth as one possessed. In this state she declares whether the sick person is to recover or not. In regard to other matters, she foretells the future. All this takes place to the sound of bells and kettle-drums. Then she rises and taking a spear, she pierces the heart of the hog. They dress it and prepare a dish for the demons. Upon an altar erected there, they place the dressed hog, rice, bananas, wine, and all the other articles of food that they have brought. All this is done in behalf of sick persons, or to redeem those who are confined in the infernal regions. When they go to war or on a plundering expedition, they offer prayers to Varangao, who is the rainbow, and to their gods, Ynaguinid and Macanduc. For the redemption of souls detained in the inferno above mentioned, they invoke also their ancestors, and the dead, claiming to see them and receive answers to their questions.

They bury with the dead gold, cloth, and other valuable objects—saying that if they depart rich they will be well received in the other world, but coldly if they go poor. ''How they guard the dead.'' When anyone dies, the people light many fires near his house; and at night armed men go to act as sentinels about his coffin, for fear that the sorcerers (who are in this country also) may come and touch the coffin; for then the coffin would immediately burst open and a great stench issue from the corpse, which could not any longer remain in the coffin. For this reason they keep watch for several nights. ''Slaves killed at the death of chiefs.'' When any chief descended from Dumaguet dies, a slave is made to die by the same death as that of the chief. They choose the most wretched slave whom they can find, so that he may serve the chief in the other world. They always select for this a slave who is a foreigner, and not a native; for they really are not at all cruel. They say that the reason for their killing slaves, as we have said, at the death of any chief is very ancient.

The slave threw to him a large stalk of reed-grass, which seems to have hit the chief on the knee, causing a wound. As he was at the time a very old man, he died, as they say, from the blow; but before his death he gave orders that, when he should die, the slave and all his children should be put to death. From this arose the custom of killing slaves at the death of a chief. ''Mourning indicated by fasting.'' When the father or mother or any near relative died, they promised to eat no rice until they should seize some captive in battle. The actual sign of mourning among them was the wearing of armlets made of bejucos [rattans] which covered the entire arm, with a similar band around the neck. They drank no pitarrilla, and their only food was bananas and camotes, until they had either taken a captive or killed some one, when they ceased their mourning; it might thus happen that they would eat no rice for a whole year, and therefore they would be, at the end of that period, very languid and weak. Sometimes a man determined, soon after a relative's death, to eat nothing, but to abandon himself to death. But his timaguas and slaves quickly assembled, and made a collection throughout the village; bananas were given him for food, and ''tuba'' (which is a wine made from the palm-tree) for drink, so that he should not die. These gains were the perquisites of the chiefs. This kind of mourning is called among them ''maglahe.'' ''Mourning among the women.'' The mourning observed by the women they call ''morotal.'' It is similar to that of the men, except that the mourner—instead of going to capture or kill some one before she is<noinclude></noinclude> evg28ewq5gqmobow6sttsxp158jnzb0 Christ in art/Chapter 2: The Annunciation Birth Of John 0 4019138 12507972 2022-07-25T05:57:58Z Bobdole2021 2943726 Created page with "{{header | title = Christ in art: the story of the words and acts of Jesus Christ, as related in the language of the four evangelists, arranged in one continuous narrative | author = Edward Eggleston | translator = | section = Chapter 2: The Annunciation Birth Of John | previous = | next = | year = 1875 | notes = }} <pages index="Christinartstory00egglrich.djvu" from=25 to=28 />" wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = Christ in art: the story of the words and acts of Jesus Christ, as related in the language of the four evangelists, arranged in one continuous narrative | author = Edward Eggleston | translator = | section = Chapter 2: The Annunciation Birth Of John | previous = | next = | year = 1875 | notes = }} <pages index="Christinartstory00egglrich.djvu" from=25 to=28 /> 6326udyvzofdjhqv3zfz54hhv3j8b7l 12507983 12507972 2022-07-25T06:04:29Z Bobdole2021 2943726 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = Christ in art: the story of the words and acts of Jesus Christ, as related in the language of the four evangelists, arranged in one continuous narrative | author = Edward Eggleston | translator = | section = Chapter 2: The Annunciation Birth Of John | previous = [[../Chapter 1: The Eternal Word/]] | next = | year = 1875 | notes = }} <pages index="Christinartstory00egglrich.djvu" from=25 to=28 /> nowp2igrexvgej5uoan9sebr7cu7yb7 12507993 12507983 2022-07-25T06:13:16Z Bobdole2021 2943726 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = Christ in art: the story of the words and acts of Jesus Christ, as related in the language of the four evangelists, arranged in one continuous narrative | author = Edward Eggleston | translator = | section = Chapter 2: The Annunciation Birth Of John | previous = [[../Chapter 1: The Eternal Word/]] | next = | year = 1875 | notes = }} <pages index="Christinartstory00egglrich.djvu" from=25 to=30 /> 65yvcpiqvpwnb8f9dwelacxaoulq35z Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/266 104 4019139 12507973 2022-07-25T05:58:42Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|250|{{fine|CHAPTER TITLE}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>promises better paving under another régime.

A movement to have the paving done from a general fund would doubtless be opposed by the property owners in other parts of the city who have already paid for the asphalt bordering their own possessions, but they have no conception of the struggle and possible bankruptcy which repaving may mean to the small property owner, nor how his chief concern may be to elect an alderman who cares more for the feelings and pocket-books of his constituents than he does for the repute and cleanliness of his city.

These three Indians are always chosen as being very valiant men, who have achieved much success in war. Thus they go to a village of their friends, the three Indians singing all along the way, keeping time with their oars; they recount their exploits, the slaves whom they have captured, and the men whom they have killed in war. The vessel is laden with wine and pitarrillas. When they reach the village, they exchange invitations with the inhabitants, and hold a great revel. After this they lay aside their white robes, and strip the bejuco bands from their arms and necks; the mourning ends, and they begin to eat rice again, and to adorn themselves with gold. ''Larao of the dead—that is, mourning.'' One of the observances which is carried out with most rigor is that called ''larao.'' This rule requires that when a chief dies all must mourn him, and must observe the following restrictions: No one shall quarrel with any other during the time of mourning, and especially at the time of the burial. Spears must be carried point downward, and daggers be carried in the belt with hilt reversed. No gala or colored dress shall be worn during that time. There must be no singing on board a barangay when returning to the village, but strict silence is maintained. They make an enclosure around the house of the dead man; and if anyone, great or small, passes by and transgresses this bound, he shall be punished. In order that all men may know of a chief's death and no one feign ignorance, one of the timaguas who is held in honor goes through the village and makes announcement of<noinclude></noinclude> 4geex8mjbkv8e8693q5t9lnk8y2r82a Page:Christinartstory00egglrich.djvu/27 104 4019141 12507978 2022-07-25T06:00:29Z Bobdole2021 2943726 /* Not proofread */ Created blank page proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Bobdole2021" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> 2n043b491y09fge5e3nlipvp6v4ts9h 12507981 12507978 2022-07-25T06:02:49Z Bobdole2021 2943726 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Bobdole2021" /></noinclude>[[File:Mary's visit to Elizabeth.png|300px|thumb|center|Mary's visit to Elizabeth]]<noinclude></noinclude> htg5zzj11iswxeglj61pud2byxqbyc3 12508023 12507981 2022-07-25T06:27:30Z Bobdole2021 2943726 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Bobdole2021" /></noinclude>[[File:Mary's visit to Elizabeth.png|300px|thumb|center|Mary's visit to Elizabeth]] {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> tgz81kti0xxdfj43ggwlr2lswx9gu59 Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/267 104 4019142 12507979 2022-07-25T06:02:01Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|251|{{fine|POLITICAL REFORM}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>with which to uniform and equip a boys' temperance brigade which had been formed in one of the ward churches a few months before his campaign.

He who transgresses the law must pay the penalty, without fail. If he who does this wrong be a slave—one of those who serve without the dwelling—and has not the means to pay, his owner pays for him; but the latter takes the slave to his own house, that he may serve him, and makes him an ayoey. They say that these rules were left to them by Lubluban and Panas. To some, especially to the religious, it has seemed as if they were too rigorous for these people; but they were general among chiefs, timaguas, and slaves. ''Wars.'' The first man who waged war, according to their story, was Panas, the son of that Anoranor, who was grandson of the first human [parents: ''crossed out in MS.''] beings. He declared war against Mañgaran, on account of an inheritance; and from that time date the first wars, because the people were divided into two factions, and hostility was handed down from father to son. They say that Panas was the first man to use weapons in fighting. ''Just wars.'' There are three cases in which these natives regard war as just. The first is when an Indian goes to another village and is there put to death without cause; the second, when their wives are stolen from them; and the third is when they go in friendly manner to trade at any village, and there, under the appearance of friendship, are wronged or maltreated. ''Laws.'' They say that the laws by which they have thus far been governed were left to them by Lubluban, the woman whom we have already mentioned. Of these laws only the chiefs are defenders and executors. There are no judges, although there are mediators who go from one party to another to bring about a reconciliation. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> pj73zyu2bf23fjylr21af81kyosvseo Page:The attorney-general and the cabinet (IA attorneygeneralc00lear).pdf/18 104 4019144 12507982 2022-07-25T06:03:26Z DraftSaturn15 3002956 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="DraftSaturn15" />{{rh|{{o s|450}}|''POLITICAL SCIENCE QUARTERLY''|[{{sc|Vol. XXIV}}}}</noinclude>could be vitalized and molded by Wirt, it was to be done.

It cannot be said that Wirt's suggestions influenced directly congressional action, for there is no proof of such influence. But there was at last a man in the attorney-generalship with a few clear ideas on the subject of organization which he was ready to make effective. This, at any rate, Congress must have understood. The details of administrative organization it is not the province of this paper to consider. It is enough to say that Wirt was provided by congress with a clerk in {{o s|1818 and a small sum of money ($500) for office-room and stationery. In response to criticism over inequalities in the salaries of the secretaries, these salaries were raised and equalized the next year (1819}}); and the salary of the attorney-general was increased to thirty-five hundred dollars.

Now Elisabeth s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. And her neighbors and her cousins heard how the Lord had showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, " Not so; but he shall be called John." And they said unto her, " There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name."

The question of where does the money come from which is spent so successfully, does of course occur to many minds. The more primitive people accept the truthful statement of its sources without any shock to their moral sense. To their simple minds he gets it "from the rich" and, so long as he again gives it out to the poor as a true Robin Hood, with open hand, they have no objections to offer. Their ethics are quite honestly those of the merry-making foresters. The next less primitive people of the vicinage are quite willing to admit that he leads the "gang" in the city council, and sells out the city franchises; that he makes deals with the franchise-seeking companies; that he guarantees to steer dubious measures through the council, for which he demands liberal pay; that he is, in short, a successful "boodler."

It is again the justification of stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Even when they are intelligent enough to complete the circle, and to see that the money comes, not from the pockets of the companies' agents, but from the street-car fares of people like themselves, it almost seems as if they would rather pay two cents more each time they ride than to give up the consciousness that they have a big, warm-hearted friend at court who will stand by them in an emergency.<noinclude>{{c|253}}</noinclude> gqbs6it48lcmiks00qhdowcv5wx8txd Page:Baladhuri-Hitti1916.djvu/119 104 4019151 12508008 2022-07-25T06:18:43Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rvh|103|''{{uc|The Capitulation of Najrân}}''|''THE ORIGINS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE''}}</noinclude>''{{ul|One reason for their expulsion}}.'' ʿAbd-al-Aʿla ibn-Ḥammâd an-Narsi from ʿUmar ibn-ʿAbd-al-ʿAziz:—The Prophet said during his illness, "There shall not remain two religions in the land of Arabia."

They were told that the career of the self-made man was open to every American boy, if he worked hard and saved his money, improved his mind, and followed a steady ambition.

It is an undebatable fact that informal entertainments are always more enjoyable than those that are strictly formal, and the easy harmony of the garden party is certainly informal to an acceptable degree. Someone once said of the lawn fete (which is merely another name for a garden party) that "a green lawn, a few trees, a fine day and something to eat" constitute a perfect garden party. To this we add, that the guests must be carefully selected and the grounds must be attractive. The garden party must be held in the open air; refreshments are served outside and the guests remain outside until they are ready to depart. At Newport, where garden parties are quite the vogue, the invitations are sent weeks in advance, and, if the weather is bad, the party is held indoors. But ordinarily it must be held entirely on the grounds. A large porch is a great advantage, for if there is a sudden downpour of rain, the guests may repair to its shelter. There are many opportunities for the hostess to show consideration and hospitality at the garden party. Easy chairs arranged in groups or couples under spreading trees always make for comfort. Some hostesses have a tent provided on the lawn for the purpose of serving the refreshments — a custom which earns the approbation of<noinclude></noinclude> kg7dfmbg6ft3zr28t6fm52ofx5utxak Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/272 104 4019155 12508019 2022-07-25T06:25:05Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|256|{{fine|CHAPTER TITLE}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>told his little flock, without any mitigating clauses, that [[Author:Jason Gould|Jay Gould]] had laid the foundation of his colossal fortune by always saving bits of string, and that, as a result, every child in the village assiduously collected party-colored balls of twine. A bright Chicago boy might well draw the inference that the path of the corrupt politician not only leads to civic honors, but to the glories of benevolence and philanthropy. This lowering of standards, this setting of an ideal, is perhaps the worst of the situation, for, as we said in the first chapter, we determine ideals by our daily actions and decisions not only for ourselves, but largely for each other. We are all involved in this political corruption, and as members of the community stand indicted. This is the penalty of a democracy,—that we are bound to move forward or retrograde together. None of us can stand aside; our feet are mired in the same soil, and our lungs breathe the same air. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{c|256}}</noinclude> o5p4gezq9bdlzbspecx3x4zf88aqjsg Page:Baladhuri-Hitti1916.djvu/121 104 4019156 12508026 2022-07-25T06:29:07Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rvh|105|''{{uc|The Capitulation of Najrân}}''|''THE ORIGINS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE''}}</noinclude>the mosque. With this the caliph was greatly pleased. Later they brought their case before him and told him of their paucity in number and of their treatment by ʿUmar ibn-ʿAbd-al-ʿAzîz and Yûsuf ibn-ʿUmar. To this they added, "We are somehow related to thy uncles (on the mother's side), the banu-l-Ḥârith ibn-Kaʿb." ʿAbdallâh ibn-ar-Rabîʿ al-Ḥârithi spoke in their favor; and al-Ḥajjâj ibn-Arṭât confirmed what they claimed. Therefore, abu-l-ʿAbbâs held them responsible only for the 200 robes previously given by them, having a value of 8,000 ''dirhams.'' ''{{ul|Ar-Rashîd writes them a favorable statement}}.'' Abu-Masʿûd said, "When ar-Rashîd Hârûn became caliph and started for al-Kûfah on his way to the Pilgrimage, they brought their case before him and complained of the harsh treatment of the ''ʿâmils.'' By the caliph's orders there was written to them a statement fixing the number at 200 robes. The statement I myself saw. Moreover the caliph ordered that they be freed from dealing with the ''ʿâmils,'' and that they pay the dues directly to the treasury." ʿAmr an-Nâḳid from ibn-Shihâb az-Zuhri:—The following text was revealed against the unbelievers among the Ḳuraish and the Arabs,<ref>Kor., 2: 189.</ref> "Fight therefore against them until there is no more civil discord, and the only worship be that of Allah," and the following against the "People of the Book."<ref>Kor., 9 : 29.</ref> "Make war upon such of those to whom the Book has been given as believe not in Allah, or in the last day, and who forbid not that which Allah and his Messenger have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth," etc. to "humbled." Thus the first among the "People of the Book" to pay poll-tax, so far as we know, were the people of Najrân who were Christian. Then, the people of Ailah, Adhruḥ and Adhriʿât paid it in the battle of Tabûk. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{dhr}} {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> hr0p6ieyalh7has8t8jw1nax95n4bew Page:Book of Etiquette, Volume 2, by Lilian Eichler.djvu/85 104 4019157 12508028 2022-07-25T06:30:01Z BOMMABORUSU 3045156 /* Not proofread */ Created page with " fastidious guests who search the food for imaginary specks of dust when it is served in the open. {{c|{{asc|RECEIVING THE GUESTS}}}} Invitations to garden parties may be sent ten days to two weeks in advance, and a prompt reply of acceptance or regret is expected.

After being greeted by the hostess, guests may wander about the grounds, stopping to chat with different groups, and seeking the refreshment table when they are weary. The hostess must be sure that her lawns are faultlessly mowed, and that the tennis courts are in order. Lawn- tennis has had a large share In the making of the garden party's popularity, and the wise hostess will always be sure that her courts are in readiness for those who enjoy the game. Cold refreshments are usually served at the garden party. Salads, ham and tongue sandwiches, fruits, jellies, ices, cakes, candles and punch are in order. Particular care must be taken in serving the refreshments to avoid any accidents or mussiness. There is nothing more disturbing to both hostess and guest than to have a glass of punch or a dish of strawberries overturned on<noinclude></noinclude> bcpzrkz4h9u2106cijr8v688ulcfz8m The Strand Magazine/Volume 6/The Final Problem 0 4019158 12508031 2022-07-25T06:32:13Z Chrisguise 2855804 Chrisguise moved page [[The Strand Magazine/Volume 6/The Final Problem]] to [[The Strand Magazine/Volume 6/The Adventure of the Final Problem]]: Corrected title per original publication and for consistency with others wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[The Strand Magazine/Volume 6/The Adventure of the Final Problem]] t4973cq7zvvnz8knt7aicapzt5h01jk The Final Problem 0 4019159 12508033 2022-07-25T06:33:07Z Chrisguise 2855804 Chrisguise moved page [[The Final Problem]] to [[The Adventure of the Final Problem]]: Corrected title per original publication and for consistency with others wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[The Adventure of the Final Problem]] sts967dgl15i715fj3ooy34et11a1gf Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/273 104 4019160 12508039 2022-07-25T06:42:31Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|257|{{fine|POLITICAL REFORM}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>That the alderman has much to do with setting the standard of life and desirable prosperity may be illustrated by the following incident: During one of the campaigns a clever cartoonist drew a poster representing the successful alderman in portraiture drinking champagne at a table loaded with pretentious dishes and surrounded by other revellers. In contradistinction was his opponent, a bricklayer, who sat upon a half-finished wall, eating a meagre dinner from a workingman's dinner-pail, and the passer-by was asked which type of representative he preferred, the presumption being that at least in a workingman's district the bricklayer would come out ahead. To the chagrin of the reformers, however, it was gradually discovered that, in the popular mind, a man who laid bricks and wore overalls was not nearly so desirable for an alderman as the man who drank champagne and wore a diamond in his shirt front. The district wished its representative "to stand up with the best of them,"<noinclude>{{c|257}}</noinclude> gzjje1gf7t9gbnffyqqkhj5zko1codk Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/275 104 4019161 12508045 2022-07-25T06:48:33Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|259|{{fine|POLITICAL REFORM}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>the same work in the community, but as quickly as possible handed it on to the Italians, to whom the name "dago" is said to cling as a result of the digging which the Irishman resigned to him. The Italian himself is at last waking up to this fact. In a political speech recently made by an Italian padrone, he bitterly reproached the alderman for giving the-four-dollars-a-day "jobs" of sitting in an office to Irishmen and the-dollar-and-a-half-a-day "jobs" of sweeping the streets to the Italians. This general struggle to rise in life, to be at least politically represented by one of the best, as to occupation and social status, has also its negative side. We must remember that the imitative impulse plays an important part in life, and that the loss of social estimation, keenly felt by all of us, is perhaps most dreaded by the humblest, among whom freedom of individual conduct, the power to give only just weight to the opinion of neighbors, is but feebly developed.

Of course, the larger the number of people among whom an habitual mode of conduct obtains, the greater the constraint it puts upon the individual will. Thus it is that the political corruption of the city presses most heavily where it can be least resisted, and is most likely to be imitated. According to the same law, the positive evils of corrupt government are bound to fall heaviest upon the poorest and least capable. When the water of Chicago is foul, the prosperous buy water bottled at distant springs; the poor have no alternative but the typhoid fever which comes from using the city's supply. When the garbage contracts are not enforced, the well-to-do pay for private service; the poor suffer the discomfort and illness which are inevitable from a foul atmosphere.

Again, a more intelligent man may philosophize a little upon the present state of corruption, and reflect that it is but a phase of our commercialism, from which we are bound to emerge; at any rate, he may give himself the solace of literature and ideals in other directions, but the more ignorant man who lives only in the narrow present has no such resource; slowly the conviction enters his mind that politics is a matter of favors and positions, that self-government means pleasing the "boss" and standing in with the "gang." This slowly acquired knowledge he hands on to his family. During the month of February his boy may come home from school with rather incoherent tales about [[Author:George Washington|Washington]] and [[Author:Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]], and the father may for the moment be fired to tell of [[Author:Giuseppe Garibaldi|Garibaldi]], but such talk is only periodic,<noinclude>{{c|261}}</noinclude> 0cb9kd7diurxa2a9ohoh65c9jhy73q9 Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/278 104 4019164 12508056 2022-07-25T07:15:22Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|262|{{fine|CHAPTER TITLE}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>and the long year round the fortunes of the entire family, down to the opportunity to earn food and shelter, depend upon the "boss." In a certain measure also, the opportunities for pleasure and recreation depend upon him. To use a former illustration, if a man happens to have a taste for gambling, if the slot machine affords him diversion, he goes to those houses which are protected by political influence. If he and his friends like to drop into a saloon after midnight, or even want to hear a little music while they drink together early in the evening, he is breaking the law when he indulges in either of them, and can only be exempt from arrest or fine because the great political machine is friendly to him and expects his allegiance in return. During the campaign, when it was found hard to secure enough local speakers of the moral tone which was desired, orators were imported from other parts of the town, from the so-called "better element."<noinclude>{{c|262}}</noinclude> 8nkosl4j8hskbmsk47tzc45kbavus6r Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/279 104 4019165 12508059 2022-07-25T07:18:43Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|263|{{fine|POLITICAL REFORM}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>Suddenly it was rumored on all sides that, while the money and speakers for the reform candidate were coming from the swells, the money which was backing the corrupt alderman also came from a swell source; that the president of a street-car combination, for whom he performed constant offices in the city council, was ready to back him to the extent of fifty thousand dollars; that this president, too, was a good man, and sat in high places; that he had recently given a large sum of money to an educational institution and was therefore as philanthropic, not to say good and upright, as any man in town; that the corrupt alderman had the sanction of the highest authorities, and that the lecturers who were talking against corruption, and the selling and buying of franchises, were only the cranks, and not the solid business men who had developed and built up Chicago.

Have our morals been so captured by commercialism, to use Mr. Chapman's generalization, that we do not see a moral dereliction when business or educational interests are served thereby, although we are still shocked when the saloon interest is thus served?

No attempt in either case is made to put forward the claims of the public, or to find a moral basis for action. As the corrupt politician assumes that public morality is impossible, so many business men become convinced that to pay tribute to the corrupt aldermen is on the whole cheaper than to have taxes too high; that it is better to pay exorbitant rates for franchises, than to be made unwilling partners in transportation experiments.

The translations of Shakespeare have been given the same rights in the libraries and the schools as the products of native classics; and ‘[[Coriolanus (Shakespeare)|Coriolanus]],’ ‘[[Julius Caesar (Shakespeare)|Julius Cæsar]],’ or ‘Macbeth’ are read in the “gymnasiums” as models of dramatic poetry. The general knowledge of Shakespeare’s works has made many of the witty sayings of [[Hamlet (Shakespeare)|Hamlet]] and other heroes of the British poet proverbial. Shakespeare is recognized as the greatest of modern poets, as [[Author:Homer|Homer]] was of the ancient singers, and some of his works may always be found in the repertoires of theatrical companies. Even the National Theatre of Prague, which is expected to foster the interests of domestic art almost exclusively, devotes on an average four evenings in a year to Shakespeare. The favorite plays are ‘[[Merchant of Venice (Shakespeare)|The Merchant of Venice]],’ ‘Hamlet,’ ‘[[Othello (Shakespeare)|Othello]],’ and ‘Coriolanus,’ and it may be said that theatrical enthusiasts treat the “Shakespearian days” as holidays. The best interpreters of Shakespeare on the Bohemian stage have been thus far Messrs. Kolar and Slukov. And even on the stage of Bohemian amateurs in this country, a person may occasionally see ‘Hamlet;’ and a few months ago, one of the Bohemian clubs of Chicago came out with a spirited representation of ‘The Merchant of Venice,’ Dr. Jan Habenicht playing an excellent Shylock. The same club announces ‘[[King Lear (Shakespeare)|King Lear]]’ for this season. It is but natural, then, that the influence of Shakespeare should be felt in Bohemian dramatic literature. Of the authors who have imitated Shakespeare, [[Author:Vítězslav Hálek|V. Halek]] and J. J. Kolar are the most conspicuous examples. We do not think it a disgrace for an author if it be said of him that he imitates Shakespeare, for such a master is a good model; but the two authors mentioned seem to have gone a little too far,—one endeavoring even to imitate Shakespeare’s puns, and the other undoubtedly following in this the custom of his master himself, borrowing, sometimes, whole sentences from him. But these are the extreme cases; on the whole, it may be said that the influence of Shakespeare has been a beneficial one, raising the standard of dramatic productions without destroying the individuality of the authors.{{float right|''[[Author:Josef Jiří Král|{{larger|J.

Accordingly wit, as a mental capacity, consists entirely in a facility for finding for every object that appears a conception under which it certainly can be thought, though it is very different from all the other objects which come under this conception. The second species of the ludicrous follows, as we have mentioned, the opposite path from the abstract conception to the real or perceptible things thought through it. But this now brings to light any incongruity with the conception which was overlooked, and hence arises an absurdity, and therefore in the practical sphere a foolish action. Since the play requires action, this species of the ludicrous is essential to comedy. Upon this depends the observation of Voltaire: "''J'ai cru remarquer aux spectacles, qu'il ne s'élève presque jamais de ces éclats de rire universels, qu'à l'occasion d'une'' {{sc|méprise}}" (''Preface de l'Enfant Prodigue''). The following may serve as examples of this species of the ludicrous. When some one had declared that he was fond of walking alone, an Austrian said to him: "You like walking alone; so do I: therefore we can go together." He starts from the conception, "A pleasure which two love they can enjoy in common," and subsumes under it the very case which excludes community. Further, the servant who rubbed a worn sealskin in his master's box with Macassar oil, so that it might become covered with hair again; in doing which he started from the conception, "Macassar oil makes hair grow." The soldiers in the guard-room who allowed a prisoner who was brought in to join in their game of cards, then quarrelled with him for cheating, and turned him out.

Upon this foundation it ought not to be difficult to build a structure of civic virtue. It is only necessary to make it clear to the voter that his individual needs are common needs, that is, public needs, and that they can only be legitimately supplied for him when they are supplied for all. If we believe that the individual struggle for life may widen into a struggle for the lives of all, surely the demand of an individual for decency and comfort, for a chance to work and obtain the fulness of life may be widened until it gradually embraces all the members of the community, and rises into a sense of the common weal. In order, however, to give him a sense of conviction that his individual needs must be merged into the needs of the many, and are only important as they are thus merged, the appeal cannot be made along the line of self-interest.

Two young peasants had loaded their gun with coarse shot, which they wished to extract, in order to substitute fine, without losing the powder. So one of them put the mouth of the barrel in his hat, which he took between his legs, and said to the other: "Now you pull the trigger slowly, slowly, slowly; then the shot will come first." He starts from the conception, "Prolonging the cause prolongs the effect." Most of the actions of Don Quixote are also cases in point, for he subsumes the realities he encounters under conceptions drawn from the romances of chivalry, from which they are very different. For example, in order to support the oppressed he frees the galley slaves. Properly all Münchhausenisms are also of this nature, only they are not actions which are performed, but impossibilities, which are passed off upon the hearer as having really happened. In them the fact is always so conceived that when it is thought merely in the abstract, and therefore comparatively ''a priori,'' it appears possible and plausible; but afterwards, if we come down to the perception of the particular case, thus ''a posteriori'' the impossibility of the thing, indeed the absurdity of the assumption, is brought into prominence, and excites laughter through the evident incongruity of what is perceived and what is thought. For example, when the melodies frozen up in the post-horn are thawed in the warm room – when Münchhausen, sitting upon a tree during a hard frost, draws up his knife which has dropped to the ground by the frozen jet of his own water, &c. Such is also the story of the two lions who broke down the partition between them during the night and devoured each other in their rage, so that in the morning there was nothing to be found but the two tails.

A stirring appeal has lately been made by a recognized ethical lecturer who has declared that "It is insanity to expect to receive the data of wisdom by looking on. We arrive at moral knowledge only by tentative and observant practice. We learn how to apply the new insight by having attempted to apply the old and having found it to fail." This necessity of reducing the experiment to action throws out of the undertaking all timid and irresolute persons, more than that, all those who shrink before the need of striving forward shoulder to shoulder with the cruder men, whose sole virtue may be social effort, and even that not untainted by self-seeking, who are indeed pushing forward social morality, but who are doing it irrationally and emotionally, and often at the expense of the well-settled standards of morality. The power to distinguish between the genuine effort and the adventitious mistakes is perhaps the most difficult test which comes to our fallible intelligence.

It is the medium of the present, of enjoyment and gaiety; more over it is attended with no exertion. With thinking the opposite is the case; it is the second power of knowledge, the exercise of which always demands some, and often considerable, exertion. Besides, it is the conceptions of thought that often oppose the gratification of our immediate desires, for, as the medium of the past, the future, and of seriousness, they are the vehicle of our fears, our repentance, and all our cares. It must therefore be diverting to us to see this strict, untiring, troublesome governess, the reason, for once convicted of insufficiency. On this account then the mien or appearance of laughter is very closely related to that of joy. On account of the want of reason, thus of general conceptions, the brute is incapable of laughter, as of speech. This is therefore a prerogative and characteristic mark of man. Yet it may be remarked in passing that his one friend the dog has an analogous characteristic action peculiar to him alone in distinction from all other brutes, the very expressive, kindly, and thoroughly honest fawning and wagging of its tail. But how favourably does this salutation given him by nature compare with the bows and simpering civilities of men. At least for the present, it is a thousand times more reliable than their assurance of inward friendship and devotion. The opposite of laughing and joking is ''seriousness.'' Accordingly it consists in the consciousness of the perfect agreement and congruity of the conception, or thought, with what is perceived, or the reality. The serious man is convinced that he thinks the things as they are, and that they are as he thinks them. This is just why the transition from profound seriousness to laughter is so easy, and can be effected by trifles. For the more perfect that agreement assumed by seriousness may seem to be, the more easily is it destroyed by the unexpected discovery<noinclude></noinclude> 7o2hlx9ot5iety08al2rrgjmbl8vs2e Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

The laughter into which Garrick burst in the middle of playing tragedy because a butcher in the front of the pit, who had taken off his wig to wipe the sweat from his head, placed the wig for a while upon his large dog, who stood facing the stage with his fore paws resting on the pit railings, was occasioned by the fact that Garrick started from the conception of a spectator, which was added in his own mind. This is the reason why certain animal forms, such as apes, kangaroos, jumping-hares, &c., sometimes appear to us ludicrous because something about them resembling man leads us to subsume them under the conception of the human form, and starting from this we perceive their incongruity with it. Now the conceptions whose observed incongruity with the perceptions moves us to laughter are either those of others or our own. In the first case we laugh at others, in the second we feel a surprise, often agreeable, at the least amusing. Therefore children and uneducated people laugh at the most trifling things, even at misfortunes, if they were unexpected, and thus convicted their preconceived conception of error. As a rule laughing is a pleasant condition; accordingly the apprehension of the incongruity between what is thought and what is perceived, that is, the real, gives us pleasure, and we give ourselves up gladly to the spasmodic convulsions which this apprehension excites. The reason of this is as follows. In every suddenly appearing conflict between what is perceived and what is thought, what is perceived is always unquestionably right; for it is not subject to error at all, requires no confirmation from without, but answers for itself. Its conflict with what is thought springs ultimately from the fact that the latter, with its abstract conceptions, cannot get down to the infinite multifariousness and fine shades of difference of the concrete. This victory of knowledge of perception over thought affords us pleasure.

Would it be dangerous to conclude that the corrupt politician himself, because he is democratic in method, is on a more ethical line of social development than the reformer, who believes that the people must be made over by "good citizens" and governed by "experts"? The former at least are engaged in that great moral effort of getting the mass to express itself, and of adding this mass energy and wisdom to the community as a whole. The wide divergence of experience makes it difficult for the good citizen to understand this point of view, and many things conspire to make it hard for him to act upon it. He is more or less a victim to that curious feeling so often possessed by the good man, that the righteous do not need to be agreeable, that their goodness alone is sufficient, and that they can leave the arts and<noinclude>{{c|270}}</noinclude> pw1g7h7yull58le58dgwqxm7psjuoig Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

Therefore the more a man is capable of entire seriousness, the more heartily can he laugh. Men whose laughter is always affected and forced are intellectually and morally of little worth; and in general the way of laughing, and, on the other hand, the occasions of it, are very characteristic of the person. That the relations of the sexes afford the easiest materials for jokes always ready to hand and within the reach of the weakest wit, as is proved by the abundance of obscene jests, could not be if it were not that the deepest seriousness lies at their foundation. That the laughter of others at what we do or say seriously offends us so keenly depends on the fact that it asserts that there is a great incongruity between our conceptions and the objective realities. For the same reason, the predicate "ludicrous" or "absurd" is insulting. The laugh of scorn announces with triumph to the baffled adversary how incongruous were the conceptions he cherished with the reality which is now revealing itself to him. Our own bitter laughter at the fearful disclosure of the truth through which our firmly cherished expectations are proved to be delusive is the active expression of the discovery now made of the incongruity between the thoughts which, in our foolish confidence in man or fate, we entertained, and the truth which is now unveiled. The ''intentionally'' ludicrous is the ''joke.'' It is the effort to bring about a discrepancy between the conceptions of another and the reality by disarranging one of the two; while its opposite, ''seriousness,'' consists in the exact conformity of the two to each other, which is at least aimed at. But if now the joke is concealed behind seriousness, then we have ''irony.'' For example, if with apparent seriousness we acquiesce in the opinions of another which are the opposite of our own, and pretend to share them with him, till at last the result perplexes him both as to us and them.

"The world is my idea" is, like the axioms of Euclid, a proposition which every one must recognise as true as soon as he understands it; although it is not a proposition which every one understands as soon as he hears it. To have brought this proposition to clear consciousness, and in it the problem of the relation of the ideal and the real, ''i.e.,'' of the world in the head to the world outside the head, together with the problem of moral freedom, is the distinctive feature of modern philosophy. For it was only after men had spent their labour for thousands of years upon a mere philosophy of the object that they discovered that among the many things that make the world so obscure and doubtful the first and chiefest is this, that however immeasurable and massive it may be, its existence yet hangs by a single thread; and this is the actual consciousness in which it exists. This condition, to which the existence of the world is irrevocably subject, marks it, in spite of all ''empirical'' reality, with the stamp of ''ideality,'' and therefore of mere ''phenomenal appearance.'' Thus on one side at least the world must be recognised as akin to dreams, and indeed to be classified along with them. For the same function of the brain which, during sleep, conjures up before us a completely objective, perceptible, and even palpable world must have just as large a share in the presentation of the objective world of waking life. Both worlds, although different as regards their matter, are yet clearly moulded in the one form. This form is the intellect, the function of the brain.

Only consciousness is immediately given; therefore the basis of philosophy is limited to facts of consciousness, ''i.e.,'' it is essentially ''idealistic.'' Realism which commends itself to the crude understanding, by the appearance which it assumes of being matter-of-fact, really starts from an arbitrary assumption, and is therefore an empty castle in the air, for it ignores or denies the first of all facts, that all that we know lies within consciousness. For that the ''objective existence'' of things is conditioned through a subject whose ideas they are, and consequently that the objective world exists only as ''idea,'' is no hypothesis, and still less a dogma, or even a paradox set up for the sake of discussion; but it is the most certain and the simplest truth; and the knowledge of it is only made difficult by the fact that it is indeed so simple, and that it is not every one who has sufficient power of reflection to go back to the first elements of his consciousness of things. There can never be an absolute and independent objective existence; indeed such an existence is quite unintelligible. For the objective, as such, always and essentially has its existence in the consciousness of a subject, is thus the idea of this subject, and consequently is conditioned by it, and also by its forms, the forms of the idea, which depend upon the subject and not on the object. That ''the objective world would exist'' even if there existed no conscious being certainly seems at the first blush to be unquestionable, because it can be thought in the abstract, without bringing to light the contradiction which it carries within it. But if we desire to ''realise'' this abstract thought, that is, to reduce it to ideas of perception, from which alone (like everything abstract) it can have content and truth, and if accordingly we try ''to imagine an objective world without a knowing subject,'' we become aware that what we then imagine is in truth the opposite of what we intended, is in fact nothing else than the process in the intellect of a knowing subject who perceives an<noinclude></noinclude> qx2enkiz6bfqwjj6u992ny8s1h3qqog Page:Calculus Made Easy.pdf/6 104 4019193 12508127 2022-07-25T08:48:14Z 2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045 /* Not proofread */ Created blank page proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> 2lnhzn1hm3npef6yshmdk6v5vbqqbj2 Page:Calculus Made Easy.pdf/7 104 4019194 12508128 2022-07-25T08:48:25Z 2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045 /* Not proofread */ Created blank page proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> 2lnhzn1hm3npef6yshmdk6v5vbqqbj2 Page:Calculus Made Easy.pdf/8 104 4019195 12508129 2022-07-25T08:48:34Z 2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045 /* Not proofread */ Created blank page proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> 2lnhzn1hm3npef6yshmdk6v5vbqqbj2 Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/287 104 4019196 12508130 2022-07-25T08:48:58Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|271|{{fine|POLITICAL REFORM}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>wiles of securing popular favor to the self-seeking.

Both are akin to that state of mind which narrows the entrance into a wider morality to the eye of a needle, and accounts for the fact that new moral movements have ever and again been inaugurated by those who have found themselves in revolt against the conventionalized good.

The perplexing experiences of the actual administration, however, have a genuine value of their own. The economist who treats the individual cases as mere data, and the social reformer who labors to make such cases impossible, solely because of the appeal to his reason, may have to share these perplexities before they feel themselves within the grasp of a principle of growth, working outward from within; before they can gain the exhilaration and uplift which comes when the individual sympathy and intelligence is caught into the forward intuitive movement of the mass.

This apprehension, then, could never lead us to the idea of causality, for that never appears in it at all. Maine de Biran himself recognises the perfect simultaneousness of the act of will and the movement (''Nouvelles Considérations des Rapports du Physique au Moral,'' p. 377, 378.) In England Thomas Reid (On the First Principles of Contingent Truths, Essay IV. c. 5) already asserted that the knowledge of the causal relation has its ground in the nature of the faculty of knowledge itself. Quite recently Thomas Brown, in his very tediously composed book, "Inquiry into the Relation of Cause and Effect," 4th edit, 1835, says much the same thing, that that knowledge springs from an innate, intuitive, and instinctive conviction; thus he is at bottom upon the right path. Quite unpardonable, however, is the crass ignorance on account of which in this book of 476 pages, of which 130 are devoted to the refutation of Hume, absolutely no mention is made of Kant, who cleared up the question more than seventy years ago. If Latin had remained the exclusive language of science such a thing would not have occurred. In spite of Brown's exposition, which in the main is correct, a modification of the doctrine set up by Maine de Biran, of the empirical origin of the fundamental knowledge of the causal relation, has yet found acceptance in England; for it is not without a certain degree of plausibility. It is this, that we abstract the law of causality from the perceived effect of our own body upon other bodies. This was already refuted by Hume. I, however, have shown that it is untenable in my work, "Ueber den Willen in der Natur" (p. 75 of the second edition, p. 82 of the third), from the fact that since we apprehend both our own and other bodies objectively in spatial perception, the knowledge of causality must<noinclude></noinclude> n6cv19y9urlh3kwgj6t2tg7wjmohzd4 Page:Calculus Made Easy.pdf/10 104 4019201 12508139 2022-07-25T09:00:17Z 2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "{{center| {{The Macmillan Company logo}} {{smaller|{{sc|MACMILLAN AND CO., Limited}}}} {{xx-smaller|LONDON BOMBAY.

The mass of men seldom move together without an emotional incentive. The man who chooses to stand aside, avoids much of the perplexity, but at the same time he loses contact with a great source of vitality. Perhaps the last and greatest difficulty in the paths of those who are attempting to define and attain a social morality, is that which arises from the fact that they cannot adequately test the value of their efforts, cannot indeed be sure of their motives until their efforts are reduced to action and are presented in some workable form of social conduct or control. For action is indeed the sole medium of expression for ethics. We continually forget that the sphere of morals is the sphere of action, that speculation in regard to morality is but observation and must remain in the sphere of intellectual comment, that a situation does not really become moral until we are confronted with the question of what shall be done in a concrete case, and are obliged to act upon<noinclude>{{c|273}}</noinclude> 7f75540dkop6ei64vua2c9uihesyrfk Page:Addams - 1902 - Democracy and Social Ethics.djvu/291 104 4019204 12508143 2022-07-25T09:11:26Z Ciridae 2335428 /* Proofread */ proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Ciridae" />{{rvh2|275|{{fine|POLITICAL REFORM}}|{{fine|DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL ETHICS}}|&nbsp;}}</noinclude>range of individual morals, we have learned to distrust him who would reach spirituality by simply renouncing the world, or by merely speculating upon its evils. The result, as well as the process of virtues attained by repression, has become distasteful to us.

In this effort toward a higher morality in our social relations, we must demand that the individual shall be willing to lose the sense of personal achievement, and shall be content to realize his activity only in connection with the activity of the many.

As the acceptance of democracy brings a certain life-giving power, so it has its own sanctions and comforts.

Tolstoy has portrayed the experience in "[[Master and Man]]." The former saves his servant from freezing, by protecting him with the heat of his body, and his dying hours are filled with an ineffable sense of healing and well-being. Such experiences, of which we have all had glimpses, anticipate in our relation to the living that peace of mind which envelopes us when we meditate upon the great multitude of the dead.

II. The fraud soon ciiscovered by which this league was procured. A lying tongue is but for a moment, and truth will be the daughter of time. Within three days they found, to their great sur- prise, that the cities which these ambassadors had treated for, were very near them, but one night's foot-march from the camp at Gilgal, ch. 10. 9.

The disgust of the congregation at this.

While therefore we are satisfied in general that those who are over us aim at nothing but the public good, and sincerely seek the welfare of their people, we ought to make the best of what they do, and not exercise ourselves in things above us. IV. The prudent endeavour of the princes to pa- cify the discontented congregation, and to accom- modate the matter; herein all the princes concur- I'ed and were unanimous, which doubtless disposed the people to acquiesce. 1. They resolved to spare the lives of the Gibe- unites, for so they had expressly sworn to do, v. 15. to let them live. (1.) The oath was lawful, else it had not bound them any more than Herod's oath bound him to cut off John Biptist's head; it is true, God had ap- pointed them to destroy all the Canaanites, but that law must be construed in favorem vitx — with some fender alloivancc, to mean those only that stood it out, and would not surrender their country to them, and not to bind them so far to put off the sense of lionour and humanity, as to slay those who had never lifted up a hand against them, nor ever would, but before they were reduced to any ex- tremity, or ever attempted any act of hostility, with one consent humbled themselves; the kiiigs of Is- rael were ceriairily more merciful kings than to do so, ,1 Kings 20. 31. and the God of Israel a more merciful God than to order it so; Satis est firos- trdsse leoni — It is enough to have laid the lion pros- trate. And besides, the reason of the law is the law; the mischief designed to be pre ented by that law, was the infecting of the Israelites with their idolatry; Deut. 7. 4. But if the Gibeonites re- nounce their idolatry, and become friends and ser- vants to the house of God, the danger is effectually prevented, the reason of the law ceases, and conse- quently the obligation of it, especially to a thing of this nature. The conversion of sinners sliall pre- vent their ruin. (2. ) The oath being lawful, both the princes, and the people for whom they transacted, were bound by it, bound in conscience, bound in honour to the God of Israel, by whom they had sworn, and whose names would have been blasphemed by the Ca- naanites, if they had iolated this oath. They speak as those that y^-arerf en oa^A (Eccl. 9. 2.) when they argued thus; We will let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware, v. 20. He that ratifies a promise with an oath, imprecates the divine vengeance if he wilfully break his pro- mise, and has reason to expect that divine justice will take him at his word. God is not mocked, and therefore oaths are not to be jested with. The princes will keep their word, [1.] Though they lest by it. A citizen of Sion swears to his own hurt, and changes not, Ps. 15. 4. Joshua and the princes, when they found it was to their prejudice that they had thus bound themselves, did not apply them- selves to Eleazar for a dispensation, much less did they pretend that no faith is to be kept with here- tics, with Canaanites; no, they were strangers to the modern artifices of the Roman Church, to elude the most sacred bonds, and even to sanctify per- juries. [2.] Though the people were uneasy at it, and their discontent might have ended in a mutinv, yet the princes would not violate their engagement to the Gibeonites; we must never be over-awed, either by majesty or multitude, to do a sinful thing, and to go against our consciences. [3. ] Though they were drawn into this league by a wile, and might have had a very plausible pretence to de- clare it null and void, yet they adhered to it. They might have pleaded that though these were the men with whom they exchanged the ratifications, yet these were not the cities intended in the league; they had promised to spare certain cities, without names, that were very far off, and upon the express consideration of their being so, but these were very near, and therefore not the cities that they covenant- ed with. And many learned men have thought that they were so grossly imposed upon by the Gibeonites, that it would have been lawful for them to have re- called their promise; but to preserve their reputa- tion, and to keep up in Israel a veneration for an oath, they would stand to it; but it is plain that they thought themselves indispensably obliged by it, and were apprehensive that the wrath of God would fall upon them if they broke it. And how- ever their adherence to it might be displeasing to the congregation, it is plain that it was acceptable to God, for when, in pursuance of this league, they undertook the protection of the Gibeonites, God gave them the most glorious victory that ever they had in all their wars, ch. 10. and long after severely avenged the wrong Saul did to the Gibeonites in vio- lation of this league, 2 Sam. 21. 1. Let this con- vince us all how religiously we ought to perform our promises, and make good our bargains; and what conscience we ought to make of our words, when they are once given.

But ''they asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord''. They had the Urim and Thummim with them, which they might have advised with in this difficult case, and that would have told them no lie, would have led them into no error; but they relied so much on their own politics, that they thought it needless to bring the matter to the oracle.

And, before him, Leibnitz said, in connection with the law of causality: ''Sans ce grand principe on ne saurait venir à la preuve de l'existence de Dieu.'' On the other hand, the thought which is worked out in this chapter is so far from being essential and necessary to reason, that it is rather to be regarded as a veritable masterpiece of the monstrous productions of an age which, through strange circumstances, fell into the most singular aberrations and perversities, such as the age of the Scholastics was – an age which is unparalleled in the history of the world, and can never return again. This Scholasticism, as it advanced to its final form, certainly derived the principal proof of the existence of God from the conception of the ''ens realissimum,'' and only then used the other proofs as accessory. This, however, is mere methodology, and proves nothing as to the origin of theology in the human mind. Kant has here taken the procedure of Scholasticism for that of reason – a mistake which indeed he has made more than once. If it were true that according to the essential laws of reason the Idea of God proceeds from the disjunctive syllogism under the form of an Idea of the most real being, this Idea would also have existed in the philosophy of antiquity; but of the ''ens realissimum'' there is nowhere a trace in any of the ancient philosophers, although some of them certainly teach that there is a Creator of the world, yet only as the giver of form to the matter which exists without him, {{greek missing}}, a being whom they yet infer simply and solely in accordance with the law of causality.

Her husband, shrunken in his seat, was also looking over the funereal fields, but his eyes were fixed most tenaciously on some mounds without wreaths or flags, simple crosses with a little board bearing the briefest inscription. These were the German bodies which seemed to have a page to themselves in the Book of Death. On one side, the innumerable French tombs with inscriptions as small as possible, simple numbers—one, two, three dead. On the other, in each of the spacious, unadorned sepulchre's, great quantities of soldiers, with a number of terrifying terseness. Fences of wooden strips, narrow and wide, surrounded these latter ditches filled to the tops with bodies. The earth was as bleached as though covered with snow or saltpetre. This was the lime returning to mix with the land. The crosses raised above these huge mounds bore each an inscription stating that it contained Germans, and then a number—200 … 300 … 400.

He has eliminated theism from philosophy; for in it, as a science and not a system of faith, only that can find a place which is either empirically given or established by valid proofs. Naturally we only mean here the real seriously understood philosophy which is concerned with the truth, and nothing else; and by no means the jest of philosophy taught in the universities, in which, after Kant as before him, speculative theology plays the principal part, and where, also, after as before him, the soul appears without ceremony as a familiar person.

Fortunately there existed a previous work in this direction, the ''ens realissimum'' of the Scholastics, together with the ontological proof of the existence of God set up in a rudimentary form by Anselm of Canterbury and then perfected by Descartes. This was joyfully made use of by Kant, with some reminiscence also of an earlier Latin work of his youth. However, the sacrifice which Kant makes to his love of architectonic symmetry in this chapter is exceedingly great. In defiance of all truth, what one must regard as the grotesque idea of an essence of all possible realities is made an essential and necessary thought of the reason. For the deduction of this Kant makes use of the false assertion that our knowledge of particular things arises from a progressive limitation of general conceptions; thus also of a most general conception of all which contains all reality ''in itself.'' In this he stands just as much in contradiction with his own teaching as with the truth, for exactly the converse is the case. Our knowledge starts with the particular and is extended to the general, and all general conceptions arise by abstraction from real, particular things known by perception, and this can be carried on to the most general of all conceptions, which includes everything under it, but almost nothing ''in it.'' Thus Kant has here placed the procedure of our faculty of knowledge just upside down, and thus might well be accused of having given occasion to a philosophical charletanism that has become famous in our day, which, instead of recognising that conceptions are thoughts abstracted from things, makes, on the contrary the conceptions first, and sees in things only concrete conceptions, thus bringing to market the world turned upside down as a philosophical buffoonery, which of course necessarily found great acceptance. Even if we assume that every reason must, or at least can, attain to the conception of God, even without {{hws|revela|revelation}}<noinclude></noinclude> 5swflvslae8bh0l4ny5j9137n6dapcs Page:Calculus Made Easy.pdf/20 104 4019225 12508174 2022-07-25T09:59:38Z 2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "- ." proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="2001:4450:810D:1B00:3D35:E2FE:2B4D:B045" /></noinclude>- .<noinclude></noinclude> q09wmpfu1axe86bmmkpp25pqf5ddbo1 Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

Indeed, the distinction between necessary, actual, and possible really exists only in the abstract and according to the conception; in the real world, on the other hand, all three fall into one. For all that happens, happens ''necessarily,'' because it happens from causes; but these themselves have again causes, so that the whole of the events of the world, great and small, are a strict concatenation of necessary occurrences. Accordingly everything actual is also necessary, and in the real world there is no difference between actuality and necessity, and in the same way no difference between actuality and possibility; for what has not happened, ''i.e.,'' has not become actual, was also not possible, because the causes without which it could never appear have not themselves appeared, nor could appear, in the great concatenation of causes; thus it was an impossibility. Every event is therefore either necessary or impossible. All this holds good only of the empirically real world, ''i.e.,'' the complex of individual things, thus of the whole particular as such. If, on the other hand, we consider things generally, comprehending them ''in abstracto,'' necessity, actuality, and possibility are again separated; we then know everything which is in accordance with the ''a priori'' laws which belong to our intellect as possible in general; that which corresponds to the empirical laws of nature as possible in this world, even if it has never become actual; thus we distinguish clearly the possible from the actual. The actual is in itself always also necessary, but is only comprehended as such by him who knows its cause; regarded apart from this, it is and is called contingent. This consideration also gives us the key to that ''contentio'' {{greek missing}} between the Megaric Diodorus and Chrysippus the Stoic which Cicero refers to in his book ''De Fato.'' Diodorus says: "Only what becomes actual was possible, and all that is actual is also necessary."

It was not easy to evoke with exactitude the vision of three hundred carcasses in helmets, boots and cloaks, in all the revolting aspects of death, piled in rows as though they were bricks, locked forever in the depths of a great trench.… And this funereal alignment was repeated at intervals all over the great immensity of the plain! The mere sight of them filled Don Marcelo with a kind of savage joy, as his mourning fatherhood tasted the fleeting consolation of vengeance. Julio had died, and he was going to die, too, not having strength to survive his bitter woe; but how many hundreds of the enemy wasting in these awful trenches were also leaving in the world loved beings who would remember them as he was remembering his son!… He imagined them as they must have been before the death call sounded, as he had seen them in the advance around his castle. Some of them, the most prominent and terrifying, probably still showed on their faces the theatrical cicatrices of their university duels. They were the soldiers who carried books in their knapsacks, and after the fusillade of a lot of country folk, or the sacking and burning of a hamlet, devoted themselves to reading the poets and philosophers by the glare of the blaze which they had kindled. They were bloated with science as with the puffiness of a toad, proud of their pedantic and all-sufficient intellectuality. Sons of sophistry and grandsons of cant, they had considered themselves capable of proving the greatest absurdities by the mental capers to which they had accustomed their acrobatic intellects. They had employed the favorite method of the thesis, antithesis and synthesis in order to demonstrate that Germany ought to be the Mistress of the World; that Belgium was guilty of her own ruin because she had de-<noinclude></noinclude> 9yngtezuxq4vvcs4gsrqkqhrmrzs227 Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

We may explain this thus: Actuality is the conclusion of a syllogism to which possibility gives the premises. But for this is required not only the major but also the minor; only the two give complete possibility. The major gives a merely theoretical, general possibility ''in abstracto,'' but this of itself does not make anything possible, ''i.e.,'' capable of becoming actual. For this the minor also is needed, which gives the possibility for the particular case, because it brings it under the rule, and thereby it becomes at once actual. For example: ''Maj.'' All houses (consequently also my house) can be destroyed by fire. ''Min.'' My house is on fire. ''Concl.'' My house is being destroyed by fire. For every general proposition, thus every major, always determines things with reference to actuality only under a presupposition, therefore hypothetically; for example, the capability of being burnt down has as a presupposition the catching fire. This presupposition is produced in the minor. The major always loads the cannon, but only if the minor brings the match does the shot, ''i.e.,'' the conclusion, follow. This holds good throughout of the relation of possibility to actuality. Since now the conclusion, which is the assertion of actuality, always follows ''necessarily,'' it is evident from this that all that is actual is also necessary, which can also be seen from the fact that necessity only means being the consequent of a given reason: this is in the case of the actual a cause: thus everything actual is necessary. Accordingly, we see here the conceptions of the possible, the actual, and the necessary unite, and not merely the last presuppose the first, but also the converse. What keeps them apart is the limitation of our intellect through the form of time; for time is the mediator between possibility and actuality. The necessity of the particular event may be fully seen from the knowledge of all its causes; but the concurrence of the whole of these different and independent causes seems to<noinclude></noinclude> 7wdr5569f3bftqy5pmozftsig651kwd Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

Since, however, each of them was the necessary effect of ''its'' causes, the chain of which has no beginning, it is evident that contingency is merely a subjective phenomenon, arising from the limitation of the horizon of our understanding, and just as subjective as the optical horizon at which the heavens touch the earth. Since necessity is the same thing as following from given grounds, it must appear in a special way in the case of every form of the principle of sufficient reason, and also have its opposite in the possibility and impossibility which always arises only through the application of the abstract reflection of the reason to the object. Therefore the four kinds of necessity mentioned above stand opposed to as many kinds of impossibility, physical, logical, mathematical, and practical. It may further be remarked that if one remains entirely within the province of abstract concepts, possibility is always connected with the more general, and necessity with the more limited concept; for example, "An animal ''may'' be a bird, a fish, an amphibious creature, &c." "A nightingale ''must'' be a bird, a bird ''must'' be an animal, an animal ''must'' be an organism, an organism ''must'' be a body." This is because logical necessity, the expression of which is the syllogism, proceeds from the general to the particular, and never conversely. In the concrete world of nature (ideas of the first class), on the contrary, everything is really necessary through the law of causality; only added reflection can conceive it as also contingent, comparing it with that which is not its cause, and also as merely and purely actual, by disregarding all causal connection. Only in this class of ideas does the conception of the actual properly occur, as is also shown by the derivation of the word from the conception of causality. In the third class of ideas, that of pure mathematical perception or intuition, if we confine ourselves strictly to it, there is only necessity.

that true happiness consisted in having all humanity dominated by Prussia; that the supreme idea of existence consisted in a clean stable and a full manger; that Liberty and Justice were nothing more than illusions of the romanticism of the French; that every deed accomplished became virtuous from the moment it triumphed, and that Right was simply a derivative of Might. These metaphysical athletes with guns and sabres were accustomed to consider themselves the paladins of a crusade of civilization. They wished the blond type to triumph definitely over the brunette; they wished to enslave the worthless man of the South, consigning him forever to a world regulated by "the salt of the earth," "the aristocracy of humanity." Everything on the page of history that had amounted to anything was German. The ancient Greeks had been of Germanic origin; German, too, the great artists of the Italian Renaissance. The men of the Mediterranean countries, with the inherent badness of their extraction, had falsified history.… "That's the best place for you.… You are better where you are buried, you pitiless pedants!" thought Desnoyers, recalling his conversations with his friend, the Russian. What a shame that there were not here, too, all the ''Herr Professors'' of the German universities—those wise men so unquestionably skilful in altering the trademarks of intellectual products and changing the terminology of things! Those men with flowing beards and gold-rimmed spectacles, pacific rabbits of the laboratory and the professor's chair that had been preparing the ground for the present war with their sophistries and their unblushing effrontery!

Thus here we only arrive at the possible through the transition from the perceptible to the abstract. After this exposition, which presupposes the recollection of what was said both in the essay on the principle of sufficient reason and in the first book of the present work, there will, it is hoped, be no further doubt as to the true and very heterogeneous source of those forms which the table of judgments lays before us, nor as to the inadmissibility and utter groundlessness of the assumption of twelve special functions of the understanding for the explanation of them. The latter point is also supported by a number of special circumstances very easily noted. Thus, for example, it requires great love of symmetry and much trust in a clue derived from it, to lead one to assume that an affirmative, a categorical, and an assertatory judgment are three such different things that they justify the assumption of an entirely special function of the understanding for each of them. Kant himself betrays his consciousness of the untenable nature of his doctrine of the categories by the fact that in the third chapter of the Analytic of Principles (''phænomena et noumena'') several long passages of the first edition (p. 241, 242, 244-246, 248-253) are omitted in the second – passages which displayed the weakness of that doctrine too openly. So, for example, he says there (p. 241) that he has not defined the individual categories, because he could not define them even if he had wished to do so, inasmuch as they were susceptible of no definition. In saying this he forgot that at p. 82 of the same first edition he had said: "I purposely dispense with the definition of the categories although I may be in possession of it." This then was, ''sit venia verbo,'' wind. But this last passage he has allowed to stand. And so all those passages wisely omitted afterwards betray the fact that<noinclude></noinclude> tb2ht413q8sh7jf6zuryos9jl19c9yk Page:Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance 1982 (Cap. 371).pdf/3 104 4019236 12508196 2022-07-25T10:16:30Z 廣九直通車 2256060 /* Proofread */ 3 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="廣九直通車" />{{Rh||SMOKING (PUBLIC HEALTH)|'''Ord.

And, in fact, it is not only the foundation of the whole Kantian philosophy and the type according to which its symmetry is everywhere carried out, as I have already shown above, but it has also really become the procrustean bed into which Kant forces every possible inquiry, by means of a violence which I shall now consider somewhat more closely. But with such an opportunity what must not the ''imitatores servum pecus'' have done! We have seen. That violence then is applied in this way. The meaning of the expressions denoted by the titles, forms of judgment and categories, is entirely set aside and forgotten, and the expressions alone are retained. These have their source partly in Aristotle's ''Analyt. priora,'' i. 23 ({{greek missing}}: ''de qualitate et quantitate terminorum syllogismi''), but are arbitrarily chosen; for the extent of the concepts might certainly have been otherwise expressed than through the word ''quantity,'' though this word is more suited to its object than the rest of the titles of the categories. Even the word ''quality'' has obviously been chosen on account of the custom of opposing quality to quantity; for the name quality is certainly taken arbitrarily enough for affirmation and negation. But now in every inquiry instituted by Kant, every quantity in time and space, and every possible quality of things, physical, moral, &c., is brought by him under those category titles, although between these things and those titles of the forms of judgment and of thought there is absolutely nothing in common except the accidental and arbitrary nomenclature.

The nearest example is afforded us at once by the pure physiological table of the general principles of natural science. What in all the world has the quantity of judgments to do with the fact that every perception has an extensive magnitude? What has the quality of judgments to do with the fact that every sensation has a degree? The former rests rather on the fact that space is the form of our external perception, and the latter is nothing more than an empirical, and, moreover, entirely subjective feeling, drawn merely from the consideration of the nature of our organs of sense. Further, in the table which gives the basis of rational psychology (Critique of Pure Reason, p. 344; V. 402), the ''simplicity'' of the soul is cited under quality; but this is just a quantitative property, and has absolutely no relation to the affirmation or negation in the judgment. But quantity had to be completed by the ''unity'' of the soul, which is, however, already included in its simplicity. Then modality is forced in in an absurd way; the soul stands in connection with ''possible'' objects; but connection belongs to relation, only this is already taken possession of by substance. Then the four cosmological Ideas, which are the material of the antinomies, are referred to the titles of the categories; but of this we shall speak more fully further on, when we come to the examination of these antinomies. Several, if possible, still more glaring examples are to be found in the table of the ''Categories of Freedom!'' in the "Critique of Practical Reason;" also in the first book of the "Critique of Judgment," which goes through the judgment of taste according to the four titles of the categories; and, finally, in the "Metaphysical First Principles of Natural Science," which are entirely adapted to the table of the categories, whereby the false that is mingled here and there with what is true and excellent in this important work is for the most part introduced.

A troop of angels, clad in symbolic hues of red, white, and green, sing the ''Gloria in Excelsis'', on the penthouse roof, and in the heavens above, twelve more seraphs dance hand-in-hand, swinging olive-boughs and dangling their golden crowns in an ecstacy of joy. In the foreground the devils are seen crawling away to hide under the rocks, while rejoicing angels fall on the necks of Savonarola and his martyred companions,—the witnesses slain for the word of their testimony, as told in the Revelation of St. John. So Botticelli would have us know that in these dark times when vice and wickedness ran riot in the streets of Florence, and contemporary writers tell us that there was "no reverence for holy things, nor fear of shame," his faith in the Friar never faltered, and that he still looked forward to a day when the prophet's word should be fulfilled and good triumph over evil. Sandro's old connection with the Medici saved him from the persecution which overtook the leading ''piagnoni'', and during his last years he was chiefly engaged in illustrating Dante's great poem. He had always been a student of the divine poet, and probably executed designs for the plates in the first printed edition of the ''Divina Commedia'', published by Landino in 1481, while a line from the ''Paradiso'':— {{center|{{smaller|"Vergine madre, figlia del tuo figlio"—}}}} is inscribed on the throne of the Madonna which he<noinclude></noinclude> kiy9ynum2hfelr0a4n8r4ghxuccrkps Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

With what violence then is that great metaphysical principle made dependent upon this simple, purely logical form! Yet this is only done ''pro forma,'' and for the sake of symmetry. The proof of this principle, which is given here, sets entirely aside its supposed origin in the understanding and in the category, and is based upon the pure intuition or perception of time. But this proof also is quite incorrect. It is false that in mere time there is ''simultaneity'' and ''duration;'' these ideas only arise from the union of ''space'' with time, as I have already shown in the essay on the principle of sufficient reason, § 18, and worked out more fully in § 4 of the present work. I must assume a knowledge of both these expositions for the understanding of what follows. It is false that time ''remains'' the same through all change; on the contrary, it is just time itself that is fleeting; a permanent time is a contradiction. Kant's proof is untenable, strenuously as he has supported it with sophisms; indeed, he falls into the most palpable contradictions. Thus, after he has falsely set up co-existence as a mode of time (p. 177; V. 219), he says, quite rightly (p. 183; V. 226), "Co-existence is not a mode of time, for in time there are absolutely no parts together, but all in succession." In truth, space is quite as much implicated in co-existence as time. For if two things are co-existent and yet not one, they are different in respect of space; if two states of one thing are co-existent (''e.g.,'' the glow and the heat of iron), then they are two contemporaneous effects of ''one'' thing,<noinclude></noinclude> 8abji49kfi9av9wizuq1w7czbwzcedf Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

Strictly speaking, co-existence is a negative determination, which merely signifies that two things or states are not different in respect of time; thus their difference is to be sought for elsewhere. But in any case, our knowledge of the permanence of substance, ''i.e.,'' of matter, must be based upon insight ''a priori;'' for it is raised above all doubt, and therefore cannot be drawn from experience. I deduce it from the fact that the principle of all becoming and passing away, the law of causality, of which we are conscious ''a priori,'' is essentially concerned only with the ''changes, i.e.,'' the successive ''states'' of matter, is thus limited to the form, and leaves the matter untouched, which therefore exists in our consciousness as the foundation of all things, which is not subject to becoming or passing away, which has therefore always been and will always continue to be. A deeper proof of the permanence of substance, drawn from the analysis of our perception of the empirical world in general, is to be found in the first book of this work, § 4, where it is shown that the nature of matter consists in the absolute ''union of space and time,'' a union which is only possible by means of the idea of causality, consequently only for the understanding, which is nothing but the subjective correlative of causality. Hence, also, matter is never known otherwise than as producing effects, ''i.e.,'' as through and through causality; to be and to act are with it one, which is indeed signified by the word ''actuality.'' Intimate union of space and time – causality, matter, actuality – are thus one, and the subjective correlative of this one is the understanding. Matter must bear in itself the conflicting properties of both factors from which it proceeds, and it is the idea of causality which abolishes what is contradictory in both, and makes their co-existence conceivable by the understanding, through which and for which alone matter is, and whose whole faculty consists in the knowledge of cause and effect.

For if the substance passed away like the accidents, the phenomenon would be torn away from space altogether, and would only belong to time; the world of experience would be destroyed by the abolition of matter, annihilation. Thus from the share which space has in matter, ''i.e.,'' in all phenomena of the actual – in that it is the opposite and counterpart of time, and therefore in itself and apart from the union with the latter knows absolutely no change – the principle of the permanence of substance, which recognises everything as ''a priori'' certain, had to be deduced and explained; but not from mere time, to which for this purpose and quite erroneously Kant has attributed ''permanence.'' In the essay on the principle of sufficient reason, § 23, I have fully explained the incorrectness of the following proof of the ''a priori'' nature and of the necessity of the law of causality from the mere succession of events in time; I must, therefore, content myself here by referring to that passage.<ref>With my refutation of the Kantian proof may be compared the earlier attacks upon it by Feder, ''Ueber Zeit, Raum und Kausalität,'' § 28; and by G. E. Schulze, ''Kritik der theoretischen Philosophie,'' Bd. ii. S. 422-442.</ref> This is precisely the case with the proof of reciprocity also, the concept of which I was obliged to explain above as invalid. What is necessary has also been said of modality, the working out of the principles of which now follows. There are still a few points in the further course of the transcendental analytic which I should have to refute were it not that I am afraid of trying the patience of the reader; I therefore leave them to his own reflection.

But yet he arrives at no distinction; and although Locke and Leibnitz really committed these errors, Kant himself is burdened with a third error which includes them both – the error of having so mixed up knowledge of perception and abstract knowledge that a monstrous hybrid of the two resulted, a chimera of which no distinct idea is possible, and which therefore necessarily only confused and stupefied students, and set them at variance. Certainly thought and perception are separated more in the chapter referred to "On the Division of all Objects into Phenomena and Noumena" than anywhere else, but the nature of this distinction is here a fundamentally false one. On p. 253; V. 309, it is said: "If I take away all thought (through the categories) from empirical knowledge, there remains absolutely no knowledge of an object, for through mere perception nothing at all is thought, and that this affection of sensibility is in me establishes really no relation of such ideas to any object." This sentence contains, in some degree, all the errors of Kant in a nutshell; for it brings out clearly that he has falsely conceived the relation between sensation, perception, and thought, and accordingly identifies the perception, whose form he yet supposes to be space, and indeed space in all its three dimensions, with the mere subjective sensation in the organs of sense, but only allows the knowledge of an object to be given through thought, which is different from perception. I, on the contrary, say: Objects are first of all objects of perception, not of thought, and all knowledge of ''objects'' is originally and in itself perception. Perception, however, is by no means mere sensation, but the understanding is already active in it. The thought, which is added only in the case of men, not in the case of the brutes, is mere abstraction from perception, gives no fundamentally new knowledge, does not itself establish objects which were not before, but merely changes the form of the knowledge already won through perception,<noinclude></noinclude> f0unruw0oa04tq35k52jejmjskvpgk8 Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

In the chapter "On the Division of all Objects into Phenomena and Noumena," Kant carries that incredible want of reflection as to the nature of the idea of perception and the abstract idea, as I shall explain more fully immediately, so far as to make the monstrous assertion that without thought, that is, without abstract conceptions, there is no knowledge of an object; and that perception, because it is not thought, is also not knowledge, and, in general, is nothing but a mere affection of sensibility, mere sensation! Nay, more, that perception without conception is absolutely void; but conception without perception is yet always something (p. 253; V. 309). Now this is exactly the opposite of the truth; for concepts obtain all significance, all content, only from their relation to ideas of perception, from which they have been abstracted, derived, that is, constructed through the omission of all that is unessential: therefore if the foundation of perception is taken away from them, they are empty and void. Perceptions, on the contrary, have in themselves immediate and very great significance (in them, indeed, the thing in itself objectifies itself); they represent themselves, express themselves, have no mere borrowed content like concepts. For the principle of sufficient reason governs them only as the law of causality, and determines as such only their position in space and time; it does not, however, condition their content and their significance, as is the case with concepts, in which it appears as the principle of the ground of knowing. For the rest, it looks as if Kant really wished here to set about distinguishing the idea of perception and the abstract idea. He objects to Leibnitz and Locke that the former reduced everything to abstract ideas, and the latter {{hws|every|everything}}<noinclude></noinclude> 0uawprwnosi22b5gjkkkp8oh0pjj26w Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church 0 4019247 12508249 2022-07-25T10:48:44Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 poem wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''The Mohegan Church''' | previous = [[../Evening at Home/]] | next = [[../Radiant Clouds at Sunset/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" from="22" to="23" /> avbdf37ny7ggc25ru7c54ru6x85x6bj 12508251 12508249 2022-07-25T10:49:58Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 Esme Shepherd moved page [[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church,]] to [[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church]]: comma in error wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''The Mohegan Church''' | previous = [[../Evening at Home/]] | next = [[../Radiant Clouds at Sunset/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" from="22" to="23" /> avbdf37ny7ggc25ru7c54ru6x85x6bj Poems Sigourney 1834/Radiant Clouds at Sunset 0 4019248 12508250 2022-07-25T10:49:07Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 p wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''Radiant Clouds at Sunset''' | previous = [[../The Mohegan Church/]] | next = [[../Solitude/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" include="24" /> i8yqcivsfdvix7deebml0x7tpkfzwnn Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church, 0 4019249 12508252 2022-07-25T10:49:58Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 Esme Shepherd moved page [[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church,]] to [[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church]]: comma in error wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Poems Sigourney 1834/The Mohegan Church]] 2hvd0o45rw2gt5u79wwpzombo58nnuk Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

Although this material is variously manipulated and transformed by thought, it must yet be capable of being reduced to perception, and the thought traced back to this – just as a piece of gold can be reduced from all its solutions, oxides, sublimates, and combinations, and presented pure and undiminished. This could not happen if thought itself had added something, and, indeed, the principal thing, to the object. The whole of the chapter on the Amphiboly, which follows this, is merely a criticism of the Leibnitzian philosophy, and as such is on the whole correct, though the form or pattern on which it is constructed is chosen merely for the sake of architectonic symmetry, which here also is the guiding clue. Thus, to carry out the analogy with the Aristotelian Organon, a transcendental Topic is set up, which consists in this, that every conception is to be considered from four points of view, in order to make out to which faculty of knowledge it belongs. But these four points of view are quite arbitrarily selected, and ten others might be added to them with just as much right; but their fourfold number corresponds to the titles of the categories, and therefore the chief doctrine of Leibnitz is divided among them as best it may be. By this critique, also, to some extent, certain errors are stamped as natural to the reason, whereas they were merely false abstractions of Leibnitz's, who, rather than learn from his great philosophical contemporaries, Spinoza and Locke, preferred to<noinclude></noinclude> fd0g9sgbabemupber8mxbq4dan285mq Poems Sigourney 1834/Solitude 0 4019251 12508256 2022-07-25T10:52:30Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 poem wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''Solitude''' | previous = [[../Radiant Clouds at Sunset/]] | next = [[../Barzillai, the Gileadite/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" from="25" to="26" /> soeftn49aw2q46wstxvwmga1m6buj5d Poems Sigourney 1834/Barzillai, the Gileadite 0 4019252 12508258 2022-07-25T10:53:06Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 poem wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''Barzillai, the Gileadite''' | previous = [[../Radiant Clouds at Sunset/]] | next = [[../Lochleven Castle/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" from="27" to="28" /> oqsfhf5w3o4fu9j73twrvlnsh68hgwr 12508260 12508258 2022-07-25T10:53:52Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 correct link wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''Barzillai, the Gileadite''' | previous = [[../Radiant Clouds at Sunset/]] | next = [[../Appeal for Missions/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" from="27" to="28" /> ssuq1zuh1j25ga7prp1y2zjmkgow7p6 Page:The World as Will and Idea - Schopenhauer, tr.

In the chapter on the Amphiboly of Reflection it is finally said that there may possibly be a kind of perception entirely different from ours, to which, however, our categories are applicable; therefore the objects of that supposed perception would be ''noumena,'' things which can only be ''thought'' by us; but since the perception which would give that thought meaning is wanting to us, and indeed is altogether quite problematical, the object of that thought would also merely be a wholly indefinite possibility. I have shown above by quotations that Kant, in utter contradiction with himself, sets up the categories now as the condition of knowledge of perception, now as the function of merely abstract thought. Here they appear exclusively in the latter sense, and it seems quite as if he wished to attribute them merely to discursive thought. But if this is really his opinion, then necessarily at the beginning of the Transcendental Logic, before specifying the different functions of thought at such length, he was necessarily bound to characterise thought in general, and consequently to distinguish it from perception; he ought to have shown what knowledge is given by mere perception, and what that is new is added by thought. Then we would have known what he was really speaking about; or rather, he would then have spoken quite differently, first of perception, and then of thought; instead of which, as it is, he is always dealing with something between the two, which is a mere delusion. There would not then be that great gap between the transcendental Æsthetic and the transcendental Logic, where, after the exposition of the mere form of perception, he simply dismisses its content, all that is empirically apprehended, with the phrase "It is given," and does not ask how it came about, ''whether with or without understanding;'' but, with one spring, passes over to abstract thought; and not even to thought in general, but at once to certain forms of thought, and does not say a word about what thought is, what the concept is, what is the relation of abstract and<noinclude></noinclude> n7faodh4d0a94q8cncbehipkwt5027z Poems Sigourney 1834/Appeal for Missions 0 4019254 12508262 2022-07-25T10:54:50Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 poem wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''Appeal for Missions''' | previous = [[../Barzillai, the Gileadite/]] | next = [[../Death of an Infant/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" from="29" to="30" /> 9fqz29mbkpmvowrzqnqgwy0a8vi1r21 Poems Sigourney 1834/Death of an Infant 0 4019255 12508264 2022-07-25T10:55:20Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 poem wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''Death of an Infant''' | previous = [[../Appeal for Missions/]] | next = [[../King John/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" include="31" /> 6fe1ne384i2dev0mv018zsbq451netz Poems Sigourney 1834/King John 0 4019256 12508265 2022-07-25T10:55:58Z Esme Shepherd 2335210 poem wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../]] | author = Lydia Sigourney | translator = | section = '''King John''' | previous = [[../Death of an Infant/]] | next = [[../Unchanged of the Tomb/]] | year = 1834 | notes = }} <pages index="Poems Sigourney, 1834.pdf" from="32" to="33" /> gf239e51pwt1415ig0bi0meo4zvkdna Page:Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance 1982 (Cap. 371).pdf/4 104 4019257 12508268 2022-07-25T11:03:53Z 廣九直通車 2256060 /* Proofread */ 4 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="廣九直通車" />{{Rh|A282|'''Ord.

The eighty-four drawings in illustration of the ''Divina Commedia'', formerly at Hamilton Palace, and now at Berlin, were executed by him for Lorenzo di Pier Francesco de' Medici, who remained in Florence until his death in 1503. Eight sheets from the same volume, once the property of Queen Christina of Sweden, are now in the Vatican. The whole series is of the deepest interest, especially the illustrations of the ''Purgatorio'' and ''Paradiso'', which reveal the mystic tendency of Sandro's imagination, while his love of delicate foliage, of fluttering draperies and showering roses, appears at every page. In the last design Beatrice is seen, crowned with flowers, standing with the poet at her side, in the highest spheres of Paradise, attended by nine circles of rejoicing angels, and one little cherub bearing a cartellino with the artist's name, Sandro di Mariano. In January, 1504, Botticelli, although infirm and old, came out of his retreat to meet his old friend Leonardo and the other chief masters in Florence, and choose a site for Michelangelo's David. After that we hear no more until, on the 17th May, 1510, he was buried in his father's vault in the church of Ognissanti. {|{{ts|mc|sm}} |{{sc|Chief Works}}— |- |{{ts|pl2}} colspan=2 |''Florence—Ognissanti''.—Fresco—St. Augustine. |- |{{ts|pl2}} colspan=2 |''Accademia:'' 73.
