Such beliefs identify Mr. Coolidge with the well-to-do Man in the Street, but aside from merits thus appropriate to a democratic state, they have little value. They ignore scores of shamefully protracted trials, and they give the abstract lie to scores of meaningful psychological statistics. Harry Elmer Barnes may go on believing that the last twenty-five years have given man more knowledge of this problem than the preceding two thousand. The Thomas Mott Oshornes of America may yet succeed in making the prison punitive rather than corrective. But as long as men of Mr. Coolidge's eminence...
