Editorially Speaking: Whose Law, Whose Order? The terrii "law and order" is being badly abused, and that is unfortunate because the concept of "law and order" is essential in a democracy. Hut the term is being abused by extremists who mask an appeal to racism behind its words; it is being abused by other extremists who charge racism against honorable men who use I lie words in their best sense. George C. Wallace, former governor of Alabama and candidate for the presidency as leader of his own American Independent Party, perhaps has done more ihan any other public lig- ure to invoke the term in a way which suggests to his listeners a determination to crack heads indiscriminately-all kinds of protesters, demonstrators, and militant groups. When he calls for "law and order" in his context he is calling for a blind crackdown.

His audiences" understand what he is aiming at, and they respond to his get-tough-with-lhem policy enthusiastically. For them, "law and order" equates with the peace and quiet of streets kept a way by force of arms. There is no doubt that the preser- vation of law and order sometimes requires the use of force. When Americans demonstrating in whatever causes they support in an exercise of their right of free speech and assembly interfere with the rights of others, then the need to restore law and order mav re- The Monroe County News Official County and City Paper ALBIA, IOWA Published Every Monday ALPJA PUBLISHING Publisher!

Unfortunately, there are extremists of another group who are beginning to identify as racist any man, such as Gov. Spiro t. Agnew of'Maryland, Republican candidate for the vice presidency, who calls for law and order on the streets. For these extremists, the term becomes a slander to hang on a public ligure with the courage of his convictions. A decent and honorable term, then, is becoming for some a cue to the arousal of mass fury against anyone who docs not conform to Wallace-style stereotypes.

At the same time is becoming for others a term to blacken the name of anyone who upholds law and order as pre-essential to the functioning of a democracy. Americans need to remember that a man or a woman can fight in the cause of civil rights and simultaneously insist on law and order. Without law and order, there can be no fruitful exercise of any of our civil rights; without civil rights, law and order will come to mean the deathly quiet of a police Journal.
