We have got to carry on the war remorselessly. But that is no reason why we should all get scared to death at home. By what authority do we propose to say that some Member of this Congress. born in Germany. naturalized as an American citizen. can not draw his pay from the Sergeant at Arms. can not rent a house. can not live. must diemust starve to deathon the street. he can not even do that in a bed? I Now. the gentleman says that will not be done. Then what is the purpose of puttIng the provision in authorizing it to be done if you do not intend to do it? Why offend every sense of decency and propriety by stating that we give to the President the power to take away the right of every naturalized citizen of the United States who happens to be born in a country at war with us? I do not think that we ought to say. even as to Gdrman cltizens in the United States whom it may be desirable to place under some kind of ban. that they can not trade in order to live. It is ridiculousness gone mad.
