WILSON CALLS !
NATION TO WORK;
FOR DEMOCRACY
F*resident Denounces Mob Ac
tion and Decries Coun
try's Lynchings
Wanhlnsrton, July 26 President
Wilson to-day In a personal state
ment. addressed to his fellow coun
trymen. denouncing mob spirit and
mob action, called upon the nation to
show the world that while it fights
for democracy on foreign fields. It is
not destroying democracy at home.
The President referred not alone to
mob action against those suspected |
of being enemy aliens or enemy sym
pathizers. He denounced most em
phatically mob action of all sorts,
especially lynchingrs, and while he
did not refer specifically to lynchings
of negroes in the South, it Is known
that he included them in his charac
terization of mob spirit as "a blow
at the heart of ordered law and hu
mane Justice."
I.rnchtwc Bad World Example
It is known that the lynchings of
negroes, as well as attacks upon
those suspected of being enemies or
sympathizers, have been used by the
German propaganda throughout Cen
tral and South America as well as in
Europe to contend that the preten
sions of the United States as a cham
pion of democracy are a sham.
Deeply concerned by the situation,
the President decided to address his
fellow countrymen, and to declare
that "every mob contributes to Ger
man lies about the United States what
her most gifted liars cannot improve
upon by.way of calumny."
The President's statement in full,
follows:
"My Fellow Countrymen:—
"I take the liberty of addressing
you upon a subject which so vitally
affects the honor of the nation and
the very character and Integrity of
our institutions that I trust you will
think me justified in speaking very
plainly about it.
"I allude to the mob spirit which
has recently here and there, very
frequently shown Us head amongst
us. not in any single region but in
many and widely separated parts of
the country. There have been many
lynchings. and every one of them has
been a blow at the heart of ordered
law and humane justice. No man
who loves America, no man who real
ly cares for her fame and honor and
character, or who is truly loyal to
her institutions, can justify mob ac
tion while the courts of Justice are
open and the governments of the
states and the nation are ready and
able to do their duty.
"We are at this verr moment fight- I
ing lawless passion. Germany has
outlawed herself among the nations
because she has disregarded the
sacred obligations of law and has
made lynchers of her armies. Lynch
ers emulate her disgraceful example.
I. for my part, am anxious to see
every community in America rise
above that level, with pride and a
fixed resolution which no man or set
of men can afford to despise.
"We proudly claim to be the cham
pions of democracy. If we really
are, in deed and in truth, let us see
to it that we do not discredit our
own. I say plainly that every Ameri
can who takes part in the action of
a mob or gives any sort of counte
nance is no true son of this great
democracy, but Its betrayer, and does
more to discredit her by that single
disloyalty to her standards of law
and right, than the words of her
statesmen or the sacrifices of her
heroic boys in the trenches can do to
make suffering peoples believe her to
be their saviour. How shall we com
mend democracy to the acceptance of i
other peoples, if we disgrace our own
by proving that it is after all, no pro
tection to the weak? Kvery mob con
tributes to German *tes about the
United States, what her most gifted
liars cannot imp-ove upon by the
wa yof calumny. They can at least
say that such things cannot happen
in Germany except in times of revo
lution. when law is swept away!
"I therefore • very earnestly and
solemnly beg that the governors of
all the states, the law officers of
every community, and. above all. the
men and women of every community
in the United States, all who revere
America and wish to keep her name
without stain or reproach, will co
operate—not passively merely but ac- j
tively and watchfully—to make an
end of this disgraceful evil. It can
not live where the community does
not countenance it.
"I have called upon the nation to
put its great energy into this war
and it has responded;—responded with
a spirit and a genius for action that
has thrilled the world. I now call
upon it, upon its men and women
everywhere to see to it that its laws
are kept inviolate, its fame untar
nished. Let us show our utter con
tempt for the things that have made
this war hideous among the wars of
history by showing how those who
love liberty and right and justice and
are willing to lay down their lives
for them upon foreign fields, standi
ready also to illustrate to all man
kind their loyalty to all things at
home which they wish to see estab
lished everywhere as a blessing and
protection to the people who have
never known the privilege of liberty
and self government.
"I can never accept any man as a
champion of liberty either for our
selves or for the world, who does not
reverence and obey the laws of our
own beloved land, whose laws we
ourselves have made. He has adopted
the standards of the enemies of his
■country, whom he affects to despise.
, "WOODROW WILSON."
Brooklynites See Airplane
Make Thrilling Landing
New York.—The engine of a coast
guard aeroplane went dead above a
densely-populated section of Brook
lyn, but its two occupants succeed
ed in effecting a landing in a vacant
lot in Fifth street, between Fourth
and Fifth avenues. Lieutenant Lo
rene Caskey, the observer, sustained
a fracture of the Jaw and was taken
to the Methodist Episcopal Hospital.
The pilot. Lieutenant Donald Hin
man, escaped injury. They are sta
tioned at Garden City.
"We got lost in a fog and felt our
way along until we got inland a bit
and discovered where we were,"
said Lieutenant Hinman.
"Then our machine went dead. We
circled around for a while and
looked for a good place to land.
Some time later we noticed this
field."
The lot chosen was not a large
one and at times as the plane
swooped downward It seemed to the
throngs watching as though it must
strike a dwelling in the vicinity.
It was 9.J0 when the landing was
made. The police were notified and
formed a cordon about the lot. soon
being relieved by soldiers. Lieuten
ant Hiriman remained with the aero
plane and made a report of the ac
cident to officer* who arrived by i
motorcar.
