It seems alisnlniniy that the senate slioiihl have power to call witnesses, to ask legitimate and proper questions and to force answers. If It Is going to enact leulsiiitiou to correct It must he equipped with such' powers. But the point Is that In staking such Information, the senate hds consistently. permitted Its committees to net In a fashion that can he described by no other word than outrageous. I have watched them over a itortud of nearly .twenty years nnd seldom, If ever, has there been an Important Investigation Hint did not degenerate sooner or later Into a condition that savored of police court practices. Respectable citizens have been sub poened, have gone before the committees willing to' tell their complete and have story, anxious to found themselves treated as outlaws and criminals. This situation hns become so prevalent In senate Investigations that when any citizen Is to appear before a senate Investigation these days, his neighbors and friends begin to ank each other What crookedness Is Involved. In other words, the psychology of the senate Investigation, as It hns devohqied through the lost fifteen or twenty years, has become one that reverses the conatitutlonnl right of an Individual that he Is Innocent nntll he Is proved guilty. For several years, there has been s bill pending In congress designed to prevent, or at least reduce, lynching theory .back of it Is that many times Innocent persons have been lynched and that every one has a right tq a trial by Jury In a properly constituted court' Over across the Atlantic ocean, dictators have operated and have employed the "blood purge," the narge Unfair nett Lilted federal. agency because of played In Senator Blarta.

Jock Issued a broad subpoena, dlrect- the telegraph to - jhe summary death sentence or the execution without granting the accused the right-o- defense.
