she said an answer would be given
when q formal request was made.
Sunday motored to Annapolis, ana
spoke In the State house from the
rpeaker's chair yesterday. Two blow,

Crowds in Lobby.
Both houses had just adjourned and
with people. Everybody seemed to
know at once that Sunday was there.
Governor Harrington said, why
not shake hands with a fewT and
Ma and Billy were at the door al
utes the line filed past and Billy and
Ma had a cordial handclasp for all
Robert =. Lee. former secretary to
Mayor Preston, received an extra

Mr.; lowering got lost once in the
crush. but had caught up again when
the party TS reached the sovernor .s Of;
Roads" map and the governor point
ed out Cambridge, whore II seems
that Ma and Billy have been invited
Then Il was suggested that Mr.. Sun

Mrs. Sunday hesitated with u mo. 1
think he'd better not" but for once
she was overruled. Mr.. lowering said

Compliments City.
Before they reached the chamber
Fome one had started up Brighten

Justify when Bill and the governor
mounted to the speakers chair. The
governor merely said, 81 take great
liam A. Sunday. known better as Billy
Sunday" and Bill started in.
I've never enjoyed a trip more than
this one." he began. Il have been
boy. and this is a dream realized. /
compliment, you on this splendid old
state house, the quaint fine old houses
all through your city and for the glori-
Gus old spirit which you have preserved
10 we'll here. Any city can have smooth
streets and look like checkerboard.
But you have so charmingly preserved
the best of the old things and the old
spirit. hope you never change IT.
For myself. you know I am a rube
OF tho TUhes from the corn rows o,
Iowa. Annapolis to us out there with
any reverence for American history Is a
sort of Holy OF Holes.
And here 1t Is you send men TO
make your laws. We are all equal De-
fore the law, and no law Is automatic.
but dependent upon the spirit of the
people as vel, as upon the officers you
elect and ray to enforce them.
mot only Is the 1egisla tor. q law
maker. but the man who creates public
sentiment, who rouses the people to
demand good laws or the resembling
of bad laws, Is sometimes more power
full than the legislator in shaping laws.
But l tell yoU that n bad law enforced
IL better than good law consistently
broken. For II we are allowed to break
one law we will allow ourselves TO break
other laws. and when we come TO have
no regard for the law we get pretty
close to anarchy"
