GUARD THE DEPENDABLE

The ultimate (not the snap) judg-
ment Of the people in this country
experience has taught us, is depend
able. General Dawes speaking at the
Old North Church. Boston, Sunday
emphasized this feature Of our Gov
eminent in discussing the safeguards
which our forefathers provided to in
sure the application Of the ultimate
Judgment to our governmental af-
fairs rather than the judgments
hastily and impulsively formed.
He declared that 1.-The rock upon
which representative constitutional
government rests Is the fact that the
ultimate judgment Of the people is
sound and just. 80" BY our Con-
stitution with it's system Of checks
and balances it Is rendered certain
in this nation of ours that only the
ultimate right and sound judgment
Of the people crystallizes into law"
When, If ever. the American peo-
pie forget that, when they substitute
hasty for deliberate consideration
then the will expressed can in the
nature Of things be no longer found
dependable. Hasty conclusions are
no match for the deliberate ones.
He likened to the beacon lights set
in the tower of the Old North Church
that gave the signal to Revere and
to Dawes. the beacon lights Of per-
sonal character which our New
England forebears. lifted on high for
the guidance Of our people"
Can we stand that ultimate and
crucial test which advancement In
wealth and material things always
brings?" A very important question,

you, too, admit this. Loving as you
did, you must acknowledge ii
must believe we had a right to this
year-every right on the earth. We

Now because it Is over and

Why should it's passing make it un-

dear, won't you think of me In this

He offered her this-this calm,

face OF the dead.
He spoke Of their love, ell quiet
