I trust. Mr. Chairman. that the bill which has been framed by the House committee. with all its safeguards. with all its provisionsthat of looking after immigrationwith its provisions for undertaking to ferret out this sentiment against government wherever it exists. and. more than that.. with its provisions carried to that extent that they will accomplish the purpose and at the same time do not interfere with the liberty of speech or with the liberty of the press. will become a law. In a few years from now we will look back upon this scene and will regard it a remarkable circumstance that after more than a century of free republican government in America Congress was forced to take into consideration the enactment of law to better protect its chief ruler against assassination by those who would strike him down in the name of liberty. The country today simply asks this Congress to put upon the statute books some expr ssion of the sovereignty and the will of the people. which they ask shall be enforced to its farthest for the protection of our inslitutions. for the protection of freedom and liberty. and for the advancement of mankind.
