I know the criticism that a public man sometimes subjects himself to when he seems not to be willing to do as quickly and as ruthlessly what is desired by some of his constituents as they wish. but I say again what I have said before to the House. this Is a time for courage in public men. No man is going to be misunderstood by his vote here who is a realpatriot. We do not lpropose to let the slacker continue to slack. whether he be citizen born or foreign born. but we do propose decently and in order to legislate and to not disregard entirely our international obligations under the whip and the press and the spur of some men who are willing to demagogue about the subject.
