Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings Before the Committee on Privileges and Elections of the United States Senate, Vol. 3: In the Matter of the Protests Against the Right of Hon. Reed Smoot, a Senator From the State of Utah, to Hold His Seat 16, 1904-April 13 The committee met at 10 o´clock a. m. Present: Senators Borrows (chairman), Hopkins, and Overman; also Senator Smoot; also Robert W. Tavler, counsel for the protestants, and A. S. Worthington and Waldemar Van Cott, counsel for the respondent. Testimony of James A. Miner - Recalled. James A. Miner, having previously been duly sworn, was examined and testified as follows: Mr. Van Cott. Mr. Miner, you were on the stand the other day? Mr. Miner. I was. Mr. Van Cott. I call your attention to this question which Mr. Tayler asked you: "Mr. Tayler. But if that law, upon which government is based, is violated, upon the proclaimed reason that the law, as to that party, is invalid, or rather that God permits that violation, that God will damn him if he obeys that law, if he conforms to the customs of society in respect to such matter, do you not understand that that is infinitely deeper seated in its menace to the Government and society than the mere violation of law as we see it every day everywhere? "Mr. Miner. I do not see very much difference." I now ask you whether you are satisfied with your answer, when you come to read over the question in type? Mr. Miner. I am not. I misunderstood the scope of the question, and applied it to the matter of punishment rather than to the proposition as there presented. Mr. Van Cott. How do you wish to answer the question? Mr. Miner. Yes. Mr. Van Cott. That is all. The Chairman. Have you any questions, Mr. Tayler? Mr. Tayler. I had asked you quite a number of questions, had I not, prior to that along the same line, making the distinction between mere immorality, mere violation of the law, and violation coupled with the claim that he had a right to violate it? Mr. Miner. You asked me one or two questions on that subject. Mr. Tayler. That is all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
