slush about government by the peo-
pie" and all that rot. as though
the people are infallible and a do
no wrong. when one who has the mer-
est s}u&ttering of history ought to
know that the only use in the world
of free government, and the only
thing for which it was ever instituted,
is to keep the people from doing
wrong. If the people could do no
wrong there would be no use for
any government whatever. This GOV
eminent of ours was made for no
other purpose than to keep the people
from doing wrong. We spend a billion
a year in that behalf, and then don't
get what we contract for. Whenever
you see a man going UP and down
the earth bowling government by the
people, spot him: watch him. He's

his person, and give him time and he

Morgan understood the thing. You
never heard him bowling about gov

faithful to the Constitution. which is
government by the representatives of
the people. That is the stuff. Our
ancestors in England invented it; u
fathers in America improved on 1t.
1t is in all the State constitutions that

of that system Of government we call
a republic. 1t is the only free gov-
eminent in the world. The one meaner
government than the Persian despot-
ism Of Darius and Xerxes was the
between the two is representative gov
eminent.
And where is the candid man to say
that we have not been reasonably
successful under Representative gov
ernment? Why not bear the blessings
we have a little longer rather than
fly to fads we know not of? 1t is a
very good Constitution and a very
good government. We might go farther
and fare worse. Indeed we might.
