Now. if the gentlemaifwants me to go on let me say to him thatl believe that this subject of health is a vital subject. and if I did not so believe I would not be in favor of the Federal Government assuming jurisliction over it. You have a right to declare warby the Constitution. but you have no iight. according to your construction of the Constitution. to defend against an enemy who can desolate your seaboard and convert your prosperous cities into a withering wilderness. You can. under the Constitution. provide uniform laws for naturalization. but according to the Texas construction you can not pass a uniform law of health. You can provide for the common defense. but you cannot defend againstan enemy that is more subtle than any enemy that ever appeared in human form. I believe that under the Constitution the Government has the absolute right to provide for the protection of the public health. and. so far as I am concerned.
