Such are almost
self-supporting and self-administering. It is not a mere combination of
words, printing-ink, and white paper which makes a law. It is the
popular sentiment back of it which enforces it, and unless a law is the
wish of a majority of the people who are to be governed by it, it is
either a dead letter, or must be enforced by elaborate police systems,
supported oftentimes with great armies. Even then it does not succeed,
if the people choose to resist. Look at the attempt to govern Ireland by
force, in the face of popular sentiment. Then, too, we get a stability
almost unknown in governments which do not conform to the people. This
country has altered its system of government less than any other great
country in the last hundred years. And there is less socialistic
legislation and propaganda here than anywhere else. That is, less
discontent."
"But, Peter, if the American people are as sensible as you think, how do
you account for the kind of men who exercise control?" said Le Grand.
