‘Reverence For The Laws
9
On the 12th of this month we celebrate the birthday of a great
American who had profound compassion for his fellow man.
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."
