...contrast cherished by the linotyper was made warm and living by the similarity expounded by the archbishop. At a coronation the people triumphantly proclaim their acceptance of authority, which is just the opposite of subservience to power. The great social victory of order, out of which freedom issues, had, in turn, its source in marriage, whether in Westminster Abbey or in a country church.

...labor official interested in political progress will proclaim support of the present Administration at this time. Some progressives, through an astounding naivete and lack of political judgment, are dissipating their power with premature pledges to an Administration which has not earned the support of progressives. Some, calling themselves progressives, are selling out for petty favors. Other true progressives in public office are being forced to give up their independence of action because labor and liberals have not given them the support that resistance to present trends requires...
