Lincoln’s stand for human dignity, equality and freedom of the individual has been a source of inspiration to generation after generation of Americans. As we think of the humane causes to which Lincoln dedicated his life, we should not overlook the fact that he was also greatly concerned about the evils of crime. ‘...To the support of the Constitution and Laws,’ Lincoln state, ‘let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor; let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children’s liberty.’ By Lincoln’s standards, present-day criminals are tracking blood on our sacred heritage, impeding the progress of our society, and jeopardizing our hopes for the future. While final statistics are not available, preliminary figures indicate that crime in the United States last year increased approximately 19 percent over 1967. Particularly alarming was the sharp rise in armed robbery which was well above the national average for all crimes. Along with the rising volume of violations, the annual cost of crime has soared to more than $31 billion. In some instances, law enforement has been sharply crit icized for its handling of criminal matters. Certainly, we do not contend that enforcement officers make no mistakes and that law enforcement is above criticism. However, some cri tics skirt the real issues of crime to imply that the police are the major threat to public safety. This, of course, is pure non sense. The fear that grips the hearts of the American public today is not the fear of an officer with a badge. It is the fear of brazen criminals in our cities and communities. It is the mugger, robber, rapist, and murderer who make people afraid to walk the streets at night. And many citizens are becoming fed up with these conditions. They are calling for better protection and more policemen, and they are asking for swifter prosecution and stiffer penalties for vicious crminals. They know that crime, not law enforcement, is the enemy of a free society living under the rule of law. Crime, regardless of its many causes, is a product of dis respect for the laws. Lincoln, as a lawyer and as President, gave high priority to "reverence for the laws.” "Let it be taught," he said, “in schools, seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let It become the political religion of the Nation. ..” Today, we can best pay tribute to Lincoln by upholding his principle - “Reverence for the laws."
