A Big Business Man Was Telling Henry Ford About A Coach Driver Of Super-expertness With His Whip. The Driver Was Telling How He Could Flick A Fly Off His Horse's Ear With His Whip-and, A Fly Alighting Just Then, He Promptly Did So.

Not On Your Life, Replied The Master Of The Whip. That There Insect Is A Hornet Sitting On His Nest With An Organization Behind Him. I Leave Him Alone.

How Many Of Those Who Voted For Calvin Coolidge Imagined For A Moment That Would Do Nothing To Bring About Tax Relief Before 1926?.... But If The Administration Persists In Opposing A Special Session Then It Will Inevitably Be 1926 Before Action Is Taken.... Coolidge And Congress Should Ease Our Minds And Grease Our Activities By Reforming And Reducing Taxation As Soon As Feasible After March 4.

I Have Never Seen People Who Could Do Real Work Except Under The Stimulus Of Encouragement And Enthusiasm And The Approval Of The People For Whom They Are Working.
