1922—During the past
Calvin Coolidge, Vice-President of the 1 jwwer-'
Unite! States ha been giving great
thought and study to the labor situ-
ation owing to the coal and railroad
strikes. In view <>f the masterful
way in which he handled the Boston
policeman’ , strike in 1919, he was in-
vite'! to the Babson Industrial Con-
ference to state hi- position on this
momentous question.

for cherO. Unto each who contributes j conclusion that less
in accordance with his ability there r<“e <’f cents would be inadequate ’ a* to make us envy theim, especially
is due equal consideration arid ekual ,0 th* needs of the public
honor. There is no degradation in in- ‘”
dustry, it is a worthy enterprise, en-'
nobling all who contributes to it. It
weill be successful in accordance with
the opportunity given for the devel-
opment of all the powers of mankind
and of the acceptance of the obliga-
tion alike to rule and to obey.
“The disappointment which has
been experienced, at first thought, in
the increase of power, whether of j
place, ha- re-ulted from t.\e
WJrTTity of obedience. Neither polit-
ical nor industrial democracy can re-
lieve mankind from the resUirement
of obedience. There is no substitute
for virtue. T'»o much emphasis has I
lieen put on the desire to rule and too
little on the obligation to obey. More
and more all social problems must t»e
sCnrked out in accordance with this
, ized society without rulers. The
great power of mankind has been
created through unity of action. This
has meant the adoption of a common
standard. In most‘ancient times this
was represented in the chieftain. In
j modern times it is represented hy a j
code of laws The important factor
to remember is that it has always
required obedience. I>emocracy is,
obedience to the rule of the people.
“The failure to appreciate this
R. N. HUCKABEE, Pastor, double function of the citixen has led
to much misunderstanding, for it is
i very plain to see that there cannot
' be any rule of the jieople without a
people to be ruled. The difference
between despotism ami democracy is
not a difference in rulers. The Am*
erican citixen is at once * sovereign
and a subject. He wiP- be a limitmi
sovereign if he limits his obedience.
