The statute can be easily amended to include the evil I have described.
I must therefore withhold my approval from this resolution if in fact I do not approve it as a matter of governmental policy.
No honest, clear-headed man, however great a lover of popular government, can deny that the unbridled expression of the majority of a community converted hastily into law or action would sometimes make a government tyrannical and cruel.
I shall not stop to discuss whether it might have been possible to accomplish the same great reform by milder methods.
