rrhe Will of the People Is
Nearly Always Honest
but the judgment oi',thoso who direct it is
sometimes at fault. Not so, always, fortunately.
That -one sentence which immortalized
Governor Coolidjje, when the Boston Police
were out upon a strike, antf the proposition was
made to the Governor to arbitrate the question,
was hen he said,
"Massachusetts can never
arbitrate law and order."
There was something akin to Abraham
Lincoln in the inspiration of the Governor, now
Vice President-elect of the United States.
We have to watch our steps and choose our
