But, before a Just God, there can be Ro difference of culpability between one who murders with a biudg- @on and one who murders with a gamble in wheat. So far as society fs concerned, the difference is only such as that between ravages of a mad dog and those of a contagion. Both slay, both are stamped Out as soon as possible. Why not hang bank wreckers? The very life of our nation ts the law—respect for, observance and impartial enforcement of it. The law must be the will of the Majority, under our form of government. Yet how often is that will Gefeated by bribery and fraud at the elections! Election frauds are @ttempts upon the national existence.
