There is time to prevent a Federal Police, with its accompanying possibilities of sectional abuse. South- @mm—and Northern—executives have only to enforce the laws of their States and so silence the demand by a statesmanlike action in cases of local law defiance." Voters may well demand a solemn pledge from the executives they choose, Then they must stand behind the fearless enforcement of the law.
