AHTER 1920 Calvin Coolidge - Law and Order

Reaminently, the province of government to protect the weak. The average citizen does not lead the life of independence that was used in harm of days under a less complex order of society. When a family kills the soil and produce its own support, it is independent.

It may be infinitely better off now, but it is evident it needs their protection which the poor was not required. Massachusetts continues to regard with the greatest policy deals, the well-being of her people by prescribed law, by authorized publicity, by informed public opinions.

Let her continue to strive to provide that all conditions under which her citizens live are worthy of the highest state of man. Helpful housing, wholesome food, Sanitary working conditions, reasonable hours, a fair wage for a fair day's work, opportunity, full and free, justice, speedy and impartial and utter cross within the reach of all

are among the objects not only to be thought but made absolutely certain and secure. Government is not, must not be a cold, impersonal machine, but a human and more human agency, appealing to the reason satisfying the heart full of magic, assisting the good, resisting the wrong, delivering the weak for many implications of the powerful. This is not paternalism,

it is not a servitude imposed from without but the freedom of a righteous self-directing from within. In dust, it must be humanized, not destroyed, it must be the instrument of of self-exist but of service. Change not to law but the attitude of the mind. Let our citizens look not to the past, profit, but to the pilgrims. Let them take their eyes on Plymouth Rock as

well as beaten hill. The feel free and joy must be not the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. Our government belongs to the people. Our property belongs to the people. It is It is distributed. They own it. The taxes are paid by the people. They pay the burden.
