. The_committee on.education gave a h~rmg on . the bill to. permit the S.;_ffo!Ylaw '
~
school to grant the degree of ~ n the
t
bill which passed both branches of the
f, !egisla ture last year, but was vetoed by
C
Gov. Foss at the suggestion of the state
hoard of education. Ex-Rep. Walter R
a
[l
Meins appeared for the petition. He said
j
the sch,,oJ has been incorporated for seven
·years and has at present 150 students. It
:has graduated 30' studer.ts, of whom 24
have successfully passed the bar examinations.
The bill was vetoed last year by Gov.

Another reason given for the veto was
ll that opportunity had not been offered for
full and complete investigation .of the

school. That· opportunity has. since been
afforded, and the result of _;!;hat investigation· are before the. comn:.ittee.
s·e.,;eral years ago ·the legislature granted

the. right to grant degrees to the Y. M C.

to the Suffolk school. This is an evening

members of the bar Its standards are
high and it has the endorsement and support o{ some of the best-known lawyers in

Charles ,v. Bartlett, a trustee of the
school, said that every opportunity has

the · school by the committe.e of the Bar
Assn. 'l'his 'is a ,·ery important' crisis· in
the state's handling of institi::tion of ,learning. The graduates of this school at'e ornaments to their profef slon and to the legislature itself. There is no good reason

:Method of Investigation.
Gleason L. Archer, dean of the Suffolk.
School of Law, called attention to the
mode adopted by the state board of education to investigate the institution upon
whi'ch it filed tts report.' The order for
a.11 investdtation was passed by the last
legislature artd the state board of educaUo_n did not turn a ha,nd towards making
any investigation until the firgt of January of this year. At that time two of the
trustees of the stat() board of· education
called at the office 'of the dean of the
Suffolk School, "looked over the office furniture," according to Dean· Archer, and
after ~asking a few perfu·nctory questions
concluded its investigation
The state board has not attempted to
study the standard of study in the ins
stitutlon; have not attended the sessions
of the school and their report is based on
the mo.!_!t superficial investigation
It is
this report, based on that investigation,
that the legislature is asked to accept as
det~rmin!ng the question in issue, Dean
Archer declared.
Board Was Hostile.
Dean Archer called attention also to the
hostility, of the state board•of education to·
bis institution. . .;F.i:,e<ilerick P,. Fish, , the
president of the board, before the matter
even came before the legislature at the
last session, made the statement in the
presence of Dr. Snedden that he was opposed to the measure, and the recommen·
dations the board 'made to the governor,
upon which the governor based 'his veto,
was on the judicial viewpoint of Mr. Fish.
· Dean Archer then went ori to explain the
work of his school. He explained that no
student can graduate who has not at least
higJ:i school education or its equivalent
The- standard of the school is as high, as
that of any evening law school. The instructors are all practicing attorneys of
experience and training.
Every facility
affordecr 'ny other evening law schools in
the country are afforded to the students
of the Suffolk school of law. He reviewed
in detail_ the work of the school, calling
attention to the success of these students
who have successfully been admitted to
practice.'

The Suffolk L,.w School Bill,
~:i·~~~:e:- ·;;--:"""~ _.,.
The friends of the Suffolk School of Law
have started rn with a rush on their measure for the ,py·'vilege to grant degrees. On
Thursday, even while the committee on education ,1as h.-aring the arguments for and
against the bill students of the institution
were buttonh,.iing members of the house
whom they f,)und in the corridors, telling
them of the advantages which the school
offers to students of moderate means.
One of the n,1.,st persistent was Frank W.
B. Sullivan of Charlestown and Dorchester,
and he kept at his mission!l,ry work all 7
through the n orning and well into the afternoon. Sull:van, who is putting in his
spare time studying law while still employed in the Shuman establishment, is gifted with an ability to talk, and as he is
firm beli·wer in the advantages which the
school offers he is making good use of his
talents in urg:ng the passage of the bill.

Gleason L. Archer, dean of the Suffolk
Law School, today sent a letter to Governor Foss asking him not to veto the bill
giving the Suffolk Law School the right to
grant degrees. So far, the g'overnor has
given no intimati.on of his action, but the
letter is based on last year's veto. The
communication is as follows:
Boston, March 17, 1913.
H on. Eugene N. Foss:
Dear Sir-Now that the bill to incorL- ~.....
porate the Suffolk Law School is before vou
for approval, I wish to call your attention
to the following facts:
In your veto of last year you stated two
propositions: .B'irst, that there were enough
law schools already conferring degrees to
_
meet _the public demand hence that degreev ~granting power was unnecessary for our \
school.
)~
May I call your attention to the fact
that there is only one evening law school in
New England that can confer degreesthe Y. M. C. A. Law School. There a r e ~
one hundred and eight young· men in our·-evening department who for one reason or
another do not care to attend the Y. M.
C. A, school. Is there any good reason
why these men-equal in preliminary _
training, in character ·and ability-should
u 6 :1ot after pursuing a course of study equal
-r
,
In length, under able instructors and un- /_
der methods of instruction in no way inferior to those of the Y. M. C. A -is there
,- '17
any good reason why these men should be,
denied the reward that is freely given to~/
the graduates of the Y. M. C. A. Law
School? Is there any good reason why the
Y. M. C. A. should continue to enjoy a
monopoly in the granting of law degrees
to evening students?
The
Committee
on
Education
has
twice said there is no reason. The Massachusetts Legislature has twice spoken a n d ~
rendered its verdict in our behalf. We
are ready to prove to your excellency that
our school is equal in every respect to the
highest standard of evening instruction in
law in the United States. There are thirtyeight evening law schools in this nation
that confer degrees. Why should not effi- ·.?
ciency equal to the highest in the country entitle our students to an equal reward
J
I with the students of other schools?
~
L ~
The second proposition in your veto message to which I wish to direct your attention is that you desired an investiga;'
tion of our school to be made by the State ~
,;I.- Board of Education. The Board has made
a report this year, but they have not investigated the school.
'\Ve have never
~
~ had a hearing, although we have repeated.
~~- ly requested it, and no member of the 1'2---·
Board of Education has ever visited the J
school. Is this fair play?
~
A senator assailed our bill on the floor
of the Senate a few days·' ago. He declared that he was going "to tear the
}
mask" off the proposition, ar l made sun- _L
.
dry unfounded charges. When called to I I ~
~
book by Senator Allen and asked for proofs
he lamely admitted that he had no proofs·
A except his "own intuition and common
~ .._,.... sense."
That is typical of the opposition.
Not a single person of those who have
fought us on the floor of either branch ha:,
I
•
ever visited the school.
In conclusion, our school maintains a
standard equal to the highest in the United
States. In ·the last three bar examinations
the average success of our students as disclosed by the official records are higher
even than those of Boston University Law
School. We maintain a four-year course,
as does the Y. M. C. A. Our entrance
requirements are the same as at the Y. M.
y "
C. A. There is no "commercialism" in our
institution, as we can demonstrate if you
will give us a hearing. We have nothing
to conceal but court the closest investigation. Our case has been "tried" twice before the 280 representatives of the people
of this ·commo11wealth and each time we
• haY!c> won.· -. ·.

hence that degree granting power was unnecessary tor our sQhool.

played a trick on him.
Dean Archer says the governor talked
with him S.::turday for an hour and a

The
<::: governor had previously put his veto on
, the measure.
According to the irate
dean, His Excellency eaid yesterday, in
explanation, that he wanted Mr. Archer
"to have a pleasant Easter Sunday."
As soon as he ha,d recovered suffi.J cient1y from his indignation yesterday
l! afternoon, Dean Archer hastened to address an open letter to the Legielature,
urging all members to pass the measure over the governor's veto
The
dean's letter makes interesting reading.
Here it is:
"I invite your attention to the conduc_!;

He invited me most cordially to meet
him at the State House at 4 o'clock. I
told h~m that as I was out of town it
might not .be possible to reach his office
at 4, so he set the time at 4.30.

bill to allow the Suffolk school of law
to incorporate with the power; to grant ::::.::,
C..- ~
degrees. This is the sam,e bill which
was passed by the legislature last year
after a bitter fight and was afterwards
vetoed by the governor, the house sustaining the veto. The governor in .vetoing the bill this year points out that
the state board of education and the
Boston bar are opposed to the bill, and
t
expresses the belief that the bill would
i, l,...-' 'L-~_
lower the high standard of efficiency
which the state has already established
in matters of education.
· The veto has been put over for considera.tlon in the h'ouse on Wednesday,
and ln the meantime the members of
the legislature are receiving letters
from the dean of the school, Gleason
L. Archer, in which the latter accuses
the governor of practising deception in
conferring with him on Saturday last ,c_.
-· 1_,
•
as to the merits of the bill, when at
t
the time his excellency had already _ ·. \
filed his veto of the measure with the ___ ,Ji...
clerk of the house.
The letter relates that Dean Archer
o.n Saturday last requested a confer- · - - ~ u
ence with Governor Foss concerning ,
the bill. The Governor gave him a I
hearing from 4. 30 to 6 o'clock, according to Archer, during which time 1... -L- -"l
.,._ ,.
he says that the Governor appeared
to be trying· to reach a conclusion as
to what to do with the blll. Archer_
further maintains that on Sunday h,e
was informed by newspapermen tbat
'\
the blll had become a law without the ---f'
,:;
~
signature of the Governor, and it was
· .
l
not until Monday that he learned the
,
real fate of the btll. Then, he main-_
L
tains, the reason given by the Goverl, • ~ . \,
nor was that he desired Archer to have
a "pleasant Easter." The letter bristles with the Indignation of the dean
of the school, and the members of
both House and Senate are strongly
urged to assist in passing the bill over
the veto.

Dean Archer also says that at the

afternoon the Governor hao. already
signed the veto message, which was
delivered by. Sec Sherman of the Govemor's office· to Clerk .1'.Cimball's assisl:ant at 2:50 p m Saturday.
Dean Archer's interview with the
Governor was at 4:30 p m and last~
until about 6 o'clock, he states.
\Vhen the Governor heard of Dean
Archer's communication to the members of . the House. 01; th~ su):lject he
-.only smiled. He <:l1dn t thmk 1t neces, sary charge of any r~ply at present to
the to make deception.
The bill incorporating the law school
also gave it permission to confer de-'
gree·s. Gov Foss vetoed a similar measnile last year. It passed the branches,
by ea~y margins this year.

that the State> Board QX Education, the
Suffolk and the Massachusett:;; Bar Associations have · all protested against

Says Dean
Archer Unfairly
Treated
d .
Governor Foss is rapped har in
connection with the difference that
has, arisen between Dean Archer of
the Suffolk School of Law and himself by Mayor Fitzgerald, in an
arti~le which appears in this week's
issue of the latter'S' paper, the Republic.
The article which appeared on a
page which the Mayor hi~self is understood invariably to wnte, accuses
the Governor of not hesitating to ·say
one thing to people one day and another thing the next.
NOT FIRST TIME
The· article in question re_ad as follows:
"Governor Foss certainly got himself
in bad in his treatment of Dean Archer of the Suffolk Law School on the
question. of his signature to the bill
which passed the Legislature giving
the school the right to give degree~.
Unfortunately for the Governor this
is not the first time that he has done
like things, though they have not go~ten the publicity that, this last incident has received. People that know
Governor Foss the l):mgest _and t_he
best can.not explain bis peculiar pomt
of view on many matters. B:e w!ll
turn down his best friends an?- the>se
closest to him, and slapping his hands 1
upon his knees, assure them t~at they
are all right, and t.hat t~e thmg that;
he ill doing is the best thing fo7; them.
:He does. not hesitate to say thmgs to
people· and 24 hours afterwards say
the, ~pposite thing.
Dean Archer
makes the statement:
,
"When 1 called at Governoi:- Foss
l office this morning he gloated over the
trick he had played_ and decla;ed that
he merely wante1 to give me f_l, ~leas:i.nt Easter Sunday.' Ye gods.

FOSS AS A JOKER.
is unfortunate for
I T unfortunate for Gov. Foss and
the commonwealth that the Governor's sense of
humor is so highly developed. It is 1
all the more unfortunate that his in- I
terpretation of humor varies somewhat from the standards usually olJ·
berved by men high in authority anil.
enjoying the confidence of their constituents. But when a Governor of
the commonwealth attempts to blend j
a sense of humor with a desire to /
, make "a pleasant Easter" for one of I
Ms fellow-citizens, the result seems
to be peculiarly unfortunate, from (
\he standpoint o~ good taste,
/
The Suffolk School of Law desir<>s
vuthority to confer degrees. Our own
opinion is that the supply of lawyers . now engaged in trying to earn
• livelihoons in this a.nd adjacent com.. monwealths is -Out of all proportion
to the- d,emand, but that is not the
point at issue. The Suffolk School of
},aw appreciates the fact that authority to confer degrees would aid it matrially in obtaining students". Thus
far in its attempt to obtain that authority' -it has been balked by execulive veto.
Last, Saturd,ay the deijn of the
school asked for and obtained a hearing from the Governor. It had beeri
1 eported that legislative permission
to confer degrees would be vetoed by
lhe -Governor, as it had beerr""v'etoed
by hini last year. The report was
true. Indeed, when the dean of 'th·e
school, by special" appointment, was
r,resenting his case to the Governor
the veto message had been writtfl~
and committed to ~'e proper custo,lian for transmission on Monday last .
to the General Court. The Governor
listened appreciatively and even sympathetically to the arguments advanced by Dean Archer. Not one
,vord did he utter to indicate that his
etecision had been made and ofl'iciallyrecorded. The dean went away full
of hope, and. found on Monday that ·
he had been buncoed.
j
It is not- the-first time that men of I
repute and prominence have been /:
victims of the Gov~rnor's curiou1 '
taste in joking. It ).s not yet forgot-/
ten that a prominent -citizen of Es1
sex, urged to find a' board of truste<?s
for a proposed educational institution
in that county, devoted valuabie time
to the task, only to be informed
When he returned with a report upo~
his mission, that the bill providing
for the school had been vetoed!
We respectfully suggest to Gov.
Foss that, before he makes further
arrangements to obtain a fourth cup
of tea, he mend his ways in the mat· j
ter of jpking. The hilarity following',
~is official ventures into fun-makini
ls altogether one-sided.

prefers the pleasure ,of his little jo
even though it cost both the object
aimed at and the respect· of all who
believe that important matters of
state legislation should be attended
to in Serious-minded fashion.
The case of the Suffolk Law~ool
illustrates the Governor~culiar
idea of a joke and its results. Last
~
year the Legislatur,e passed a bill
giving this school the, right to conJ•
fer degrees. The Governor vetoed the
bill and the Legislature sustained the
veto.· This year the Legislature again
passed the bill and Gov. Foss again
vetoed it. But instead of sustaining
'I'
the veto, the House--passed a bill IJ<' ~ -t
esterday
his veto by the overwhelming vote of 155 to 67, and similar
'
action is expected in the Senate.
~
Why this increased enthusiasrh ,
for the measure? One reason is be- ~~
yond doubt'<(ound in the general resentment at the official joke which
his excellency played last Saturday
"-.
on Dean Archer of the law school.

of inc,orporatioi;i for th' ·. ffolk law

on the side of the house. The arglJments
of the governor against the biil are
weak. A law school does not need an
endowment, such as would be necessary to enable a scientific school to do
its work. It does not require laboratories, shops nor expensive specia~ apparatus, and the very fact that the :State
already al)ows the Y. J\'I. C. A. law scl),qol
(of which the situation is not dii;;sjmilar
to that of the S1.1ffolk school) to gr.ant
degrees, made it morally and logically
necessary for the state to treat the,
i Suffolk scl1ool in the .sa!lle way.
any

A fight is going on in the Senate
over the veto of the bill permitting
the Suffolk Law School to grant degrees. The bill was passed over the
Governor's veto in the House.
Senators Mack and Quigley are
handling the fight for the Governor
in the Senate and thus far have prevented the friends of the bill from
securing a majority of two third,. It
will take two-thirds majority of those
present, or 27 out of the 40 votes in

"The governor's sharpest criticism of
the Suffolk Law school, in,:,denying his
signature to the bill empl.!.:i,ettng it to
confer a degree, is that t};Lec ihhool is
sell-supporting. Shame! ,;,_; ·
Gov. Foss' veto of the Suffolk Law
school bill comes up for debate in the
house tomorrow. The bill will not suffer through the governor's playful little
trick on Dean Archer. Giving a man
an hour and a half to urge his case,
when the case has already been vetoed
two hours, is a kirid of humor which
does not appeal to the victim or his
friends.

I;iean Atcher of Suffolk Law school is.suid another letter on Saturday evening
·in relation to the veto of the bill granting ,
ti:ie ·power to confer degrees. The letter
says:"In Gov. Foss' veto, he criticises the
- school on the ground that it is· self-supporting and ppssesses no endowment funds.
- •_•r,t-o school can obtain endowment until
, tt -is incorporated wi_th power to confer degr-ees.
''He also states that 'two wrongs do not
'!11ake a right,' obviously referring to the
,·igrantirig of ·similar powers to the Boston
Y. M; C. A. Evening Law school nine years
, ago as the first •wrong.' Does Gov. Foss
, ·i: seriously contend that the very school of
:,-:> which he himself is a trustee ought not to
},:-'.~orlfer degrees?"

· The letter further asks if Dean Thayer
of Harvard Law school would remain as
. vice-president of the Y. M. C. A. Law
-school or Former Dean Samuel C. Bennett of B':>;;ton University Law school
contrnue as its president if it .were not
properly equipped and managed.
The letter closes with the statement that
"tl-1e-_- Suffolk Law school is a_n evening law

The story of the effort
\he authorities of the Suffolk law school to obtain
the right to issue degrees has been
closed for the year. Although the house
repassed the bill after the Governor had
vetoed it, the senate sustained the rathe~
flimsy reasoning of the veto, by declining to pass the bill over that veto~ Although this finishes the matter for the
present session, it will doubtless be
brought before the legislature next year
and will probably be passed at that time
The request of the Suffolk school wa~
simply an appeal foi· justice, and it is to
be regret~ed ihat the senate did not see
_i~in thesam.:~!~ as the house. Justice
is sure to be had on this matter. It ·s
too bad that justice should''have be:n
eo long on the way.

Governor Foss Declares, in Letter to Senator, That
Dean Archer's Charges Are False-Vote Is 21
to 14 Again st the Bill.
Governor Foss's veto of' the Suffolk
Law School bill. W"hich, 'VY'"ith the recent
controversy between the governor and
l..>ea.n Archer of the school, has been
the talk of the Vveek at the State I--I:ouse.
"\Vas sustained by the Senate yesterday
afternoon by a vote of 21 to 14.
Pre:viously the J:-:I:ouse had overridden the
:Veto, as 1t thought, by a. vote of 155
personal reasons. but in order to
' counteract the effect of a desperate
fabrication, contrived and circulated
:for the obvious purpose of a:ffecting
legislation.
The concurrent 'opinion
of the State Board of Education, the
Massachusetts Bal'.' Association and
the Boston Bar Association is against
the proposed measure; and the frantic attempt to "W"in sympathy by a.
fa°lse statement concerning an intervievV in this office should convince
everyone that i t is unVvise to confer
t·urther po"W"ers upon the institution
in question. Yours very truly,
ito 67.
One of thea unusual features of' th~
debate "W""hich preceded the roll ca.11 "W"as
'the reading of a letter on the subject
1'rom the governor to Senator Francis
Quigley of Holyoke.
In his letter the governor denies he
had tricked or otherwise played a joke
on Dean Archer. It 'W'as a reply to the
letter of protest -which the dean sent
several days ago to every member of
the Legislature.
The governor's com·
rnunica.tion w-a.s as follovv-s:
''Dear Senator:
··-~
public
official
cannot
deny
every erroneous report conCerning
his Public or private acts. and it is
rny general rule to pay no attention
to such matters.
VVhen, hovvever, a
personal statement that ls at every
essential point a pure fabrication is
sent to members of the Legislature
for the obvious purpose of influencing; the vote on an important public question,
it becomes necessary
to take cognizance
of
a
matter
otherwise unworthy of at-tention.
Interview With Archer
.. On
Saturday,
March
22.
.Dean
Archer, of the Suffolk Law- School.
asked 'for an interv""ie-w in order that
he might. make :-t.. statement concerning his c.ase
I therefore arranged
to see him, and in the interviev.r
-went over the entire matter. l did
not tell him. in advance of the reading of the veto message to the I...egisl2...ture-, that I had vetoed the bill:
but the entire conversation. like others I had the sa1ne day vv-ith other
advocates of the bill, proceeded upon
the assumption that tit w2s n1y :lnteation to veto the measure. Almost
the last ,vords of Mr. Archer as he
left the office -w-ere: uThe Legislature has passed the bill tv..rice. -Won't
you recall t.he veto and let it go by?"
My recollection on this point is confir:..ned OY a g"entleman vvho -~"ras present during ihe interview.
•'Mr. Archer's statement concerriing the· intervie.v:.r of Saturday is.
therefore, incorrect at every point.
In his :further statement that I told
the ne"Wspapers that the bill bad become a law he is also v.rrong.
The
ne~.. spaper representatives "'~ere told
before mY office closed for the day
that no statement conce~nillg my action would be made until Monday.
The same announcement w-as made
:f'rorn my home Saturday evening in
r~ply to repeated telephone calls.
Mr. Archer's further stat:ement about
our lntervle'W'" on Monday morning is
as incorrect as the others.
Since he
received on Saturq.ay no 1nt1ma.t1on
o:r _an intention to allow- hts bill to
become a la.--w, there could have been
no point In the poor jest he at-
tributes t:o me.

=~thoritles .of the Suffolk law 'school to obtain
the right to issue degrees has been
closed for the year. Although the house
repassed the bill after the Governor had
vetoed it, the senate sustained the rather
flimsy reasQning of the veto, by declining to' pass the bill over that veto. Alfhough this finishes the matter for the
present session, it will doubtless be
brought. before the legislatu're next year
and will probably be passed at that time.
The request of the Suffolk school was
simply an appeal for justice, and it is to ,,,

In his letter the Governor de,clared that Dean .Archer's story of
their , interview regarding the bill,
which sought to give the school the
right to incorporate and confe'!" de/ grees, was incorrect at every point.
I The Governor asserted that alt most the last words of Dean Archer
,to him on the day of their first, interview was an appeal to recan his
veto. He said this is also the recollection of a man who was present
during the interview. The Governor
is understood to mean Daniel J.
Kiley, who was in his private office
at the time.

The Governor's letter, as read by Sen- ~
ator Quigley, was as follqws:
"Dear Senator-A public official
cannot deny every erroneous report
co~cernlng his public or private acts,
and it is my general rule to pay no
attention to such ma.tters. When,
however, a personal statement that
is at every essential point a pure
fabrication is sent to members of the
Legislature for the obyious purpose
of influencing the vote on an important public question,i:t becomes necessary to take cognizance of a matter
otherwise unworthy of attentibn.
"On Saturday, March 22, Dean

AN EXECUTIVE CONUNDRUM 1
Without entering into any discussion of the merits of the legis- 1
lation prayed for by the Suffolk '
law school, of which Gleason L. '
Archer of this city is the dean, '
and which was vetoed recently, 1
and for the third time in as many
years, by Governor Foss, the '
.story of the mix-up between the
chief executive of the state, and
the head of the law school, is
not the first or only instance of
the uncertainty attaching to forecasting the governor's action. He
is a conundrum to almost everybody who comes in contact with
him officially, if current reports
.are true. A pat on the back, and
the glad hand, together with the
comradic "Old Boy" seem to be
capable of all sorts of translation,
but to which the governor alone
holds the key. Men of all shades
of opinion, and representing all
political divisions are getting tired
oflt~e methods in vogue in the
executive chamber, some of which,
if correctly reported, tend to lower 1
the dignity of the high office.

Dean Archer Arrives,
A : startling i~erruption in the pro- '.
gramme came with the entrance of
Dean Archer, impersonated by A. I. ;
:Merigold who demanded an interview .
with Go;,,.ernor Foss. When this was
gpu,ted he 1inquired if the Governor . ~
intends to sign the bill pe;mitting the I '.
[ SutI°olk School ol'.- Law to issue certifl-,.
cat.es fo graduate.s admitting them to :
, the bar. The fake Governor freely
'. granted the permission, and then, be- •
ing interrogated by the interlocutor as 1
to · the sincerity of his promise, stated
that he gave permission in order to
i:nake Archer feel good over Memoi:ial

That seemingly level headed ,
legislators are easily influenced when
their sentiments are appealed to
was demonstrated when the vote
was taken to pass the Suffolk Law
School bill over the Governor's veto.
It seems that Governor Foss had
in a joking way given the dean of
Suffolk Law~ol to understand
that he ;~ going to sign the bill
and that he hoped he would have a
pleasant Easter, when he had
already resolved to veto the bill.
As soon as the veto was announced
the dean at once sent a letter to
every legislator giving the episode I
in detail. Many were so angered '
. I
at the Governor's double deahng,
that they refused to vote to sustain
his veto just to spite him; are such
men reliable law makers?

Unfortunately for the (lovernor, this
is not the first time that he has done
like things, though they have not gotten
the publicity that this last incident has
received. · People that .know Gov. Foss
•he iongest and the best cannot explain
his peculiar point of ,vle\v on man~· matters. He will turn d6wn his best trlends·
e.nd those closest to him, and slapping
his hands upon his knees, assure them
that they are all ~right, and that the ,
thing thiit ht(}s doing is the be~t thing:
for them. He does not hesitate to say 1

l · · ,, F
The mayor ha.s had dealings with
the Governor. Perhaps he speaks out 1
vf the full~~ss of. personal experi~nce. ;
The fact remains that, in a public 1
I
stateIIJent, the Governor of the commonwea.lth_ was charged with deceit l
and unveracity by a. gentleman with
whom, leas than forty-eight hours tiefor~, he had' an intimate discussion
~t _appointment. Instead of replying
as soon as the charge was made, the
Governor waited for more than a 1
week, and then ,vrote a ·personal let-I
ter to the young senator from Holyoke who had undertaken to defeat
for the Governor a measure to ·which
be was f'ery' much opposed. '' '

Charges Excutive With I:
€.
Double Dealing
Gov. Foss and the mtimber of his.
council from this distric·t, Hon. Altixand er McGregor, had a lively set-to
one day recently.
It transpires that Gov. Foss consulted Councillor McGregor dn regard
to an appointmen,t to rthe state board
of health, and the latter recommended a very prominent physician.
Thereupon the governor invited the
physician to call at the state house,
and a full half-hour interva:ew resulted.
After all, it came to the councillor's
ea~s that the govenor intends to name
a Harvard man.
The •councillor naturally became
'1indignant, and charged the governor
1directly wi,th double-dealing; df the
!g,overnor had a man already an mind
then it was simply an imposLtion to
. ask <the councillor to recommend
· som~body, and then •waste the physi; cian',s time fooling him.
· Councillor McGregor taJked plainly,
but rthe governor only smiled, ,and re; plied; "You will be pleased; you wrn
:' be pleased."
' "I'll ·be pleased!" retorted the councillor. "Do you ,think I'm Dean
Archer to listen to talk like that?"
,i
-~
o~;/~:~~g, a dozen
"You'¥e got four judgeships to fill
.and two clerkships of courts, and almost all the vaca:ncies ,have exis,ted a
long time.
The courts are b"ehind
hand, and prisoners and persons in
civil eases suffe,ring.
"Yoil know that the ends of justice,
simple justice, as well as the duties
of your office, require you to act, anil
yet you don't make any nominations,
because you Uke ,to keep people waiting, guessing, hoping.
"You ,can't accuse me :of holding up
:{our nominations -in a partisan rway.
"I voted lo confirm your nominaltioh
of Clerk Bradley, a Democrat, to the
Somerville cour,t, though Robert Luce
and other leaddng Republicans 10p-·
posed him.
"I vote·d ·this year to •confirm Dr.
Briggs, al,though last year I oppos,ed
him; but ·this year, when you .senlt in
the nomination a third time, I helped
you to get your way.
"Now this is the way you play ,fast
and loose with me, and everyb:ody
else."
And the councillor turned. on his
heel and wal~ed ouit.

"Every veto ls a boost," says Dean Gleason L. Arcner of the Suffolk Law School
iri an interview yesterday relative to the
effect of Gov. Foss' second veto of the bill
authorizing the school to confer degrees.
"It ls a fact," says the dean, "that the
school has experienced a strong tide of
popularity since Gov. Foss' first veto of
our school cha.:-ter.
"Last year was the very best year In
the schoql's history in every respect and
the school year now approaching promises
ev<;)n to exceed last year's record. Every
veto is a boo.st for sucn a measure as oms
and especially so coming from our present Governor, whose affiliation with a :r;ival
institution is so notorious.
·
"Were there · a reason behind his veto
other than the selfish one of protecting his
own institution (he can't take that to
Canada with his · Blower Works), the
problem might have been a more difficult
one for us. His vetoes have ):).ad the effect
merely of bringing our school .to the attention of people who were hitherto unfamiliar with lj:s merits.
"Our school ·has been under 'close scrutiny for two years, and that' is the very
'&est thing that could have happened to
it; for it has won us hosts of friends. Unlike some institutions that are advertised
by their 'loving friends,' the Suffolk Law
School has received its most effective advertising from its ba.ffled and shortsighted
enemies.
"We are going up to Beacon Hlll just
once more, in 1914-unless our enemies deIi
cide to give 'Us a lot more of advertising

seeking for favors or unmerited privileges
at the hands of tlJ,,e Legislature; but for

the sch,,oJ has been incorporated for seven

:has graduated 30' studer.ts, of whom 24
have successfully passed the bar examinations.

:Method of Investigation.
Gleason L. Archer, dean of the Suffolk.
School of Law, called attention to the
mode adopted by the state board of education to investigate the institution upon
whi'ch it filed tts report.' The order for
a.11 investdtation was passed by the last
legislature artd the state board of educaUo_n did not turn a ha,nd towards making
any investigation until the firgt of January of this year. At that time two of the
trustees of the stat() board of· education
called at the office 'of the dean of the
Suffolk School, "looked over the office furniture," according to Dean· Archer, and
after ~asking a few perfu·nctory questions
concluded its investigation
The state board has not attempted to
study the standard of study in the ins
stitutlon; have not attended the sessions
of the school and their report is based on
the mo.!_!t superficial investigation
It is
this report, based on that investigation,
that the legislature is asked to accept as
det~rmin!ng the question in issue, Dean
Archer declared.
Board Was Hostile.
Dean Archer called attention also to the
hostility, of the state board•of education to·
bis institution. . .;F.i:,e<ilerick P,. Fish, , the
president of the board, before the matter
even came before the legislature at the
last session, made the statement in the
presence of Dr. Snedden that he was opposed to the measure, and the recommen·
dations the board 'made to the governor,
upon which the governor based 'his veto,
was on the judicial viewpoint of Mr. Fish.
· Dean Archer then went ori to explain the
work of his school. He explained that no
student can graduate who has not at least
higJ:i school education or its equivalent
The- standard of the school is as high, as
that of any evening law school. The instructors are all practicing attorneys of
experience and training.
Every facility
affordecr 'ny other evening law schools in
the country are afforded to the students
of the Suffolk school of law. He reviewed
in detail_ the work of the school, calling
attention to the success of these students
who have successfully been admitted to
practice.'

The Suffolk L,.w School Bill,
~:i·~~~:e:- ·;;--:"""~ _.,.
The friends of the Suffolk School of Law
have started rn with a rush on their measure for the ,py·'vilege to grant degrees. On
Thursday, even while the committee on education ,1as h.-aring the arguments for and
against the bill students of the institution
were buttonh,.iing members of the house
whom they f,)und in the corridors, telling
them of the advantages which the school
offers to students of moderate means.
One of the n,1.,st persistent was Frank W.
B. Sullivan of Charlestown and Dorchester,
and he kept at his mission!l,ry work all 7
through the n orning and well into the afternoon. Sull:van, who is putting in his
spare time studying law while still employed in the Shuman establishment, is gifted with an ability to talk, and as he is
firm beli·wer in the advantages which the
school offers he is making good use of his
talents in urg:ng the passage of the bill.

Gleason L. Archer, dean of the Suffolk
Law School, today sent a letter to Governor Foss asking him not to veto the bill
giving the Suffolk Law School the right to
grant degrees. So far, the g'overnor has
given no intimati.on of his action, but the
letter is based on last year's veto. The
communication is as follows:
Boston, March 17, 1913.
H on. Eugene N. Foss:
Dear Sir-Now that the bill to incorL- ~.....
porate the Suffolk Law School is before vou
for approval, I wish to call your attention
to the following facts:
In your veto of last year you stated two
propositions: .B'irst, that there were enough
law schools already conferring degrees to
_
meet _the public demand hence that degreev ~granting power was unnecessary for our \
school.
)~
May I call your attention to the fact
that there is only one evening law school in
New England that can confer degreesthe Y. M. C. A. Law School. There a r e ~
one hundred and eight young· men in our·-evening department who for one reason or
another do not care to attend the Y. M.
C. A, school. Is there any good reason
why these men-equal in preliminary _
training, in character ·and ability-should
u 6 :1ot after pursuing a course of study equal
-r
,
In length, under able instructors and un- /_
der methods of instruction in no way inferior to those of the Y. M. C. A -is there
,- '17
any good reason why these men should be,
denied the reward that is freely given to~/
the graduates of the Y. M. C. A. Law
School? Is there any good reason why the
Y. M. C. A. should continue to enjoy a
monopoly in the granting of law degrees
to evening students?
The
Committee
on
Education
has
twice said there is no reason. The Massachusetts Legislature has twice spoken a n d ~
rendered its verdict in our behalf. We
are ready to prove to your excellency that
our school is equal in every respect to the
highest standard of evening instruction in
law in the United States. There are thirtyeight evening law schools in this nation
that confer degrees. Why should not effi- ·.?
ciency equal to the highest in the country entitle our students to an equal reward
J
I with the students of other schools?
~
L ~
The second proposition in your veto message to which I wish to direct your attention is that you desired an investiga;'
tion of our school to be made by the State ~
,;I.- Board of Education. The Board has made
a report this year, but they have not investigated the school.
'\Ve have never
~
~ had a hearing, although we have repeated.
~~- ly requested it, and no member of the 1'2---·
Board of Education has ever visited the J
school. Is this fair play?
~
A senator assailed our bill on the floor
of the Senate a few days·' ago. He declared that he was going "to tear the
}

The

, the measure.
According to the irate
dean, His Excellency eaid yesterday, in
explanation, that he wanted Mr. Archer
"to have a pleasant Easter Sunday."
As soon as he ha,d recovered suffi.J cient1y from his indignation yesterday
l! afternoon, Dean Archer hastened to address an open letter to the Legielature,
urging all members to pass the measure over the governor's veto
The
dean's letter makes interesting reading.
Here it is:

hearing was granted Saturday, last at

with the governor over the telephone
and expressed my earnest desire to be
heard on the bill before he took action.
He invited me most cordially to meet
him at the State House at 4 o'clock. I
told h~m that as I was out of town it
might not .be possible to reach his office
at 4, so he set the time at 4.30.

degrees. This is the sam,e bill which
was passed by the legislature last year
after a bitter fight and was afterwards
vetoed by the governor, the house sustaining the veto. The governor in .vetoing the bill this year points out that
the state board of education and the
Boston bar are opposed to the bill, and
t
expresses the belief that the bill would

lower the high standard of efficiency
which the state has already established
in matters of education.
· The veto has been put over for considera.tlon in the h'ouse on Wednesday,

Says Dean
Archer Unfairly
Treated
d .
Governor Foss is rapped har in
connection with the difference that
has, arisen between Dean Archer of
the Suffolk School of Law and himself by Mayor Fitzgerald, in an
arti~le which appears in this week's
issue of the latter'S' paper, the Republic.
The article which appeared on a
page which the Mayor hi~self is understood invariably to wnte, accuses
the Governor of not hesitating to ·say
one thing to people one day and another thing the next.
NOT FIRST TIME
The· article in question re_ad as follows:
"Governor Foss certainly got himself
in bad in his treatment of Dean Archer of the Suffolk Law School on the
question. of his signature to the bill
which passed the Legislature giving
the school the right to give degree~.
Unfortunately for the Governor this
is not the first time that he has done
like things, though they have not go~ten the publicity that, this last incident has received. People that know
Governor Foss the l):mgest _and t_he
best can.not explain bis peculiar pomt
of view on many matters. B:e w!ll
turn down his best friends an?- the>se
closest to him, and slapping his hands 1
upon his knees, assure them t~at they
are all right, and t.hat t~e thmg that;
he ill doing is the best thing fo7; them.
:He does. not hesitate to say thmgs to
people· and 24 hours afterwards say
the, ~pposite thing.
Dean Archer
makes the statement:
,
"When 1 called at Governoi:- Foss
l office this morning he gloated over the
trick he had played_ and decla;ed that
he merely wante1 to give me f_l, ~leas:i.nt Easter Sunday.' Ye gods.
A
. p!eii,sant Easter Sunday-but_ what of
Monday?'·

strength, and his argument is · m, IncIng unless there is another .s'ide not
:represented in the governo1; ..s discussion. When the State Board of Eiiuca.
tion and the Massachusetts Bat Association both oppose such a Privilege,
it is surprising that the legis.Ja(me
could have been persuaded to pass th~
bill giving this grant qf power; Tho_'
bill was practically the._ i;ra,me -Wll~ ·
Gov. Foss vetoed last year.
This
leg'islature should have taken nr,te of
his O·bjections.
The Suffolk Law School is not a
chartered
institution. It is not endowed, nor is it responsible to ar,:i,
public authority. It lias no bui'.rlin-g:,
but its classes meet in hired quarters.
If it can tea.ch law· well er10ugh t.:>

FOSS AS A JOKER.
is unfortunate for
I T unfortunate for Gov. Foss and
the commonwealth that the Governor's sense of
humor is so highly developed. It is 1
all the more unfortunate that his in- I
terpretation of humor varies somewhat from the standards usually olJ·
berved by men high in authority anil.
enjoying the confidence of their constituents. But when a Governor of
the commonwealth attempts to blend j
a sense of humor with a desire to /
, make "a pleasant Easter" for one of I
Ms fellow-citizens, the result seems
to be peculiarly unfortunate, from (
\he standpoint o~ good taste,
/
The Suffolk School of Law desir<>s
vuthority to confer degrees. Our own
opinion is that the supply of lawyers . now engaged in trying to earn
• livelihoons in this a.nd adjacent com.. monwealths is -Out of all proportion
to the- d,emand, but that is not the
point at issue. The Suffolk School of
},aw appreciates the fact that authority to confer degrees would aid it matrially in obtaining students". Thus
far in its attempt to obtain that authority' -it has been balked by execulive veto.
Last, Saturd,ay the deijn of the
school asked for and obtained a hearing from the Governor. It had beeri
1 eported that legislative permission
to confer degrees would be vetoed by
lhe -Governor, as it had beerr""v'etoed
by hini last year. The report was
true. Indeed, when the dean of 'th·e
school, by special" appointment, was
r,resenting his case to the Governor
the veto message had been writtfl~
and committed to ~'e proper custo,lian for transmission on Monday last .
to the General Court. The Governor
listened appreciatively and even sympathetically to the arguments advanced by Dean Archer. Not one
,vord did he utter to indicate that his
etecision had been made and ofl'iciallyrecorded. The dean went away full
of hope, and. found on Monday that ·
he had been buncoed.
j
It is not- the-first time that men of I
repute and prominence have been /:
victims of the Gov~rnor's curiou1 '
taste in joking. It ).s not yet forgot-/
ten that a prominent -citizen of Es1
sex, urged to find a' board of truste<?s
for a proposed educational institution
in that county, devoted valuabie time
to the task, only to be informed
When he returned with a report upo~
his mission, that the bill providing
for the school had been vetoed!
We respectfully suggest to Gov.
Foss that, before he makes further
arrangements to obtain a fourth cup
of tea, he mend his ways in the mat· j
ter of jpking. The hilarity following',
~is official ventures into fun-makini
ls altogether one-sided.

prefers the pleasure ,of his little jo
even though it cost both the object
aimed at and the respect· of all who
believe that important matters of
state legislation should be attended
to in Serious-minded fashion.
The case of the Suffolk Law~ool
illustrates the Governor~culiar
idea of a joke and its results. Last
~
year the Legislatur,e passed a bill
giving this school the, right to conJ•
fer degrees. The Governor vetoed the
bill and the Legislature sustained the
veto.· This year the Legislature again
passed the bill and Gov. Foss again
vetoed it. But instead of sustaining
'I'
the veto, the House--passed a bill IJ<' ~ -t
esterday
his veto by the overwhelming vote of 155 to 67, and similar
'
action is expected in the Senate.
~
Why this increased enthusiasrh ,
for the measure? One reason is be- ~~
yond doubt'<(ound in the general resentment at the official joke which
his excellency played last Saturday
"-.
on Dean Archer of the law school.

of inc,orporatioi;i for th' ·. ffolk law

of the governor against the biil are
weak. A law school does not need an
endowment, such as would be necessary to enable a scientific school to do
its work. It does not require laboratories, shops nor expensive specia~ apparatus, and the very fact that the :State
already al)ows the Y. J\'I. C. A. law scl),qol
(of which the situation is not dii;;sjmilar
to that of the S1.1ffolk school) to gr.ant

necessary for the state to treat the,

"The governor's sharpest criticism of
the Suffolk Law school, in,:,denying his
signature to the bill empl.!.:i,ettng it to
confer a degree, is that t};Lec ihhool is
sell-supporting. Shame! ,;,_; ·
Gov. Foss' veto of the Suffolk Law
school bill comes up for debate in the
house tomorrow. The bill will not suffer through the governor's playful little
trick on Dean Archer. Giving a man
an hour and a half to urge his case,
when the case has already been vetoed
two hours, is a kirid of humor which
does not appeal to the victim or his
friends.

I;iean Atcher of Suffolk Law school is.suid another letter on Saturday evening
·in relation to the veto of the bill granting ,

says:"In Gov. Foss' veto, he criticises the

, tt -is incorporated wi_th power to confer degr-ees.
''He also states that 'two wrongs do not

,·igrantirig of ·similar powers to the Boston
Y. M; C. A. Evening Law school nine years

The story of the effort
\he authorities of the Suffolk law school to obtain
the right to issue degrees has been
closed for the year. Although the house
repassed the bill after the Governor had
vetoed it, the senate sustained the rathe~
flimsy reasoning of the veto, by declining to pass the bill over that veto~ Although this finishes the matter for the
present session, it will doubtless be
brought before the legislature next year
and will probably be passed at that time
The request of the Suffolk school wa~
simply an appeal foi· justice, and it is to
be regret~ed ihat the senate did not see
_i~in thesam.:~!~ as the house. Justice
is sure to be had on this matter. It ·s
too bad that justice should''have be:n
eo long on the way.

Governor Foss Declares, in Letter to Senator, That
Dean Archer's Charges Are False-Vote Is 21
to 14 Again st the Bill.
Governor Foss's veto of' the Suffolk
Law School bill. W"hich, 'VY'"ith the recent
controversy between the governor and
l..>ea.n Archer of the school, has been
the talk of the Vveek at the State I--I:ouse.
"\Vas sustained by the Senate yesterday
afternoon by a vote of 21 to 14.
Pre:viously the J:-:I:ouse had overridden the
:Veto, as 1t thought, by a. vote of 155
personal reasons. but in order to
' counteract the effect of a desperate
fabrication, contrived and circulated
:for the obvious purpose of a:ffecting
legislation.
The concurrent 'opinion
of the State Board of Education, the
Massachusetts Bal'.' Association and
the Boston Bar Association is against
the proposed measure; and the frantic attempt to "W"in sympathy by a.
fa°lse statement concerning an intervievV in this office should convince
everyone that i t is unVvise to confer
t·urther po"W"ers upon the institution
in question. Yours very truly,
ito 67.
One of thea unusual features of' th~
debate "W""hich preceded the roll ca.11 "W"as
'the reading of a letter on the subject
1'rom the governor to Senator Francis
Quigley of Holyoke.
In his letter the governor denies he
had tricked or otherwise played a joke
on Dean Archer. It 'W'as a reply to the
letter of protest -which the dean sent
several days ago to every member of
the Legislature.
The governor's com·
rnunica.tion w-a.s as follovv-s:
''Dear Senator:
··-~
public
official
cannot
deny
every erroneous report conCerning
his Public or private acts. and it is
rny general rule to pay no attention
to such matters.
VVhen, hovvever, a
personal statement that ls at every
essential point a pure fabrication is
sent to members of the Legislature
for the obvious purpose of influencing; the vote on an important public question,
it becomes necessary
to take cognizance
of
a
matter
otherwise unworthy of at-tention.
Interview With Archer
.. On
Saturday,
March
22.
.Dean
Archer, of the Suffolk Law- School.
asked 'for an interv""ie-w in order that
he might. make :-t.. statement concerning his c.ase
I therefore arranged
to see him, and in the interviev.r
-went over the entire matter. l did
not tell him. in advance of the reading of the veto message to the I...egisl2...ture-, that I had vetoed the bill:
but the entire conversation. like others I had the sa1ne day vv-ith other
advocates of the bill, proceeded upon
the assumption that tit w2s n1y :lnteation to veto the measure. Almost
the last ,vords of Mr. Archer as he
left the office -w-ere: uThe Legislature has passed the bill tv..rice. -Won't
you recall t.he veto and let it go by?"
My recollection on this point is confir:..ned OY a g"entleman vvho -~"ras present during ihe interview.
•'Mr. Archer's statement concerriing the· intervie.v:.r of Saturday is.
therefore, incorrect at every point.
In his :further statement that I told
the ne"Wspapers that the bill bad become a law he is also v.rrong.
The
ne~.. spaper representatives "'~ere told
before mY office closed for the day
that no statement conce~nillg my action would be made until Monday.
The same announcement w-as made
:f'rorn my home Saturday evening in
r~ply to repeated telephone calls.
Mr. Archer's further stat:ement about
our lntervle'W'" on Monday morning is
as incorrect as the others.
Since he
received on Saturq.ay no 1nt1ma.t1on
o:r _an intention to allow- hts bill to
become a la.--w, there could have been
no point In the poor jest he at-
tributes t:o me.

=~thoritles .of the Suffolk law 'school to obtain
the right to issue degrees has been
closed for the year. Although the house
repassed the bill after the Governor had
vetoed it, the senate sustained the rather
flimsy reasQning of the veto, by declining to' pass the bill over that veto. Alfhough this finishes the matter for the
present session, it will doubtless be
brought. before the legislatu're next year
and will probably be passed at that time.
The request of the Suffolk school was
simply an appeal for justice, and it is to ,,,

but the entire conversation, like
others I had the same day with
other advo,cates of the bill, proceeded upon the assumption that it was
my intention to veto the measure.
Almost the last words of Mr Archer
as he left the office were: 'The Legislature has passed the bill twice.
Won't you recall the veto and let it
go by?' My recollection on this
point is confirmed by a gentleman
who was present during the interview.

I The Governor asserted that alt most the last words of Dean Archer
,to him on the day of their first, interview was an appeal to recan his
veto. He said this is also the recollection of a man who was present
during the interview. The Governor
is understood to mean Daniel J.

"Dear Senator-A public official
cannot deny every erroneous report

attention to such ma.tters. When,
however, a personal statement that
is at every essential point a pure
fabrication is sent to members of the

of influencing the vote on an important public question,i:t becomes necessary to take cognizance of a matter
otherwise unworthy of attentibn.

AN EXECUTIVE CONUNDRUM 1
Without entering into any discussion of the merits of the legis- 1
lation prayed for by the Suffolk '
law school, of which Gleason L. '
Archer of this city is the dean, '
and which was vetoed recently, 1
and for the third time in as many
years, by Governor Foss, the '
.story of the mix-up between the
chief executive of the state, and
the head of the law school, is
not the first or only instance of
the uncertainty attaching to forecasting the governor's action. He
is a conundrum to almost everybody who comes in contact with
him officially, if current reports
.are true. A pat on the back, and
the glad hand, together with the
comradic "Old Boy" seem to be
capable of all sorts of translation,
but to which the governor alone
holds the key. Men of all shades
of opinion, and representing all
political divisions are getting tired
oflt~e methods in vogue in the
executive chamber, some of which,
if correctly reported, tend to lower 1
the dignity of the high office.

A : startling i~erruption in the pro- '.
gramme came with the entrance of
Dean Archer, impersonated by A. I. ;
:Merigold who demanded an interview .
with Go;,,.ernor Foss. When this was
gpu,ted he 1inquired if the Governor . ~
intends to sign the bill pe;mitting the I '.
[ SutI°olk School ol'.- Law to issue certifl-,.

'. granted the permission, and then, be- •
ing interrogated by the interlocutor as 1

that he gave permission in order to

That seemingly level headed ,
legislators are easily influenced when
their sentiments are appealed to
was demonstrated when the vote
was taken to pass the Suffolk Law
School bill over the Governor's veto.
It seems that Governor Foss had
in a joking way given the dean of
Suffolk Law~ol to understand
that he ;~ going to sign the bill
and that he hoped he would have a
pleasant Easter, when he had
already resolved to veto the bill.
As soon as the veto was announced
the dean at once sent a letter to
every legislator giving the episode I
in detail. Many were so angered '
. I
at the Governor's double deahng,
that they refused to vote to sustain
his veto just to spite him; are such
men reliable law makers?

Unfortunately for the (lovernor, this
is not the first time that he has done
like things, though they have not gotten
the publicity that this last incident has
received. · People that .know Gov. Foss
•he iongest and the best cannot explain
his peculiar point of ,vle\v on man~· matters. He will turn d6wn his best trlends·
e.nd those closest to him, and slapping
his hands upon his knees, assure them
that they are all ~right, and that the ,
thing thiit ht(}s doing is the be~t thing:
for them. He does not hesitate to say 1

l · · ,, F
The mayor ha.s had dealings with
the Governor. Perhaps he speaks out 1
vf the full~~ss of. personal experi~nce. ;
The fact remains that, in a public 1
I
stateIIJent, the Governor of the commonwea.lth_ was charged with deceit l
and unveracity by a. gentleman with
whom, leas than forty-eight hours tiefor~, he had' an intimate discussion
~t _appointment. Instead of replying
as soon as the charge was made, the
Governor waited for more than a 1
week, and then ,vrote a ·personal let-I
ter to the young senator from Holyoke who had undertaken to defeat
for the Governor a measure to ·which
be was f'ery' much opposed. '' '

Charges Excutive With I:
€.
Double Dealing
Gov. Foss and the mtimber of his.
council from this distric·t, Hon. Altixand er McGregor, had a lively set-to
one day recently.
It transpires that Gov. Foss consulted Councillor McGregor dn regard
to an appointmen,t to rthe state board
of health, and the latter recommended a very prominent physician.
Thereupon the governor invited the
physician to call at the state house,
and a full half-hour interva:ew resulted.
After all, it came to the councillor's
ea~s that the govenor intends to name
a Harvard man.
The •councillor naturally became
'1indignant, and charged the governor
1directly wi,th double-dealing; df the
!g,overnor had a man already an mind
then it was simply an imposLtion to
. ask <the councillor to recommend
· som~body, and then •waste the physi; cian',s time fooling him.
· Councillor McGregor taJked plainly,
but rthe governor only smiled, ,and re; plied; "You will be pleased; you wrn
:' be pleased."
' "I'll ·be pleased!" retorted the councillor. "Do you ,think I'm Dean
Archer to listen to talk like that?"
,i
-~
o~;/~:~~g, a dozen
"You'¥e got four judgeships to fill
.and two clerkships of courts, and almost all the vaca:ncies ,have exis,ted a
long time.
The courts are b"ehind
hand, and prisoners and persons in
civil eases suffe,ring.
"Yoil know that the ends of justice,
simple justice, as well as the duties
of your office, require you to act, anil
yet you don't make any nominations,
because you Uke ,to keep people waiting, guessing, hoping.
"You ,can't accuse me :of holding up

"I voted lo confirm your nominaltioh

"I vote·d ·this year to •confirm Dr.
Briggs, al,though last year I oppos,ed
him; but ·this year, when you .senlt in
the nomination a third time, I helped
you to get your way.
"Now this is the way you play ,fast

else."

heel and wal~ed ouit.

"Every veto ls a boost," says Dean Gleason L. Arcner of the Suffolk Law School
iri an interview yesterday relative to the
effect of Gov. Foss' second veto of the bill
authorizing the school to confer degrees.
"It ls a fact," says the dean, "that the
school has experienced a strong tide of
popularity since Gov. Foss' first veto of
our school cha.:-ter.
"Last year was the very best year In
the schoql's history in every respect and
the school year now approaching promises
ev<;)n to exceed last year's record. Every
veto is a boo.st for sucn a measure as oms
and especially so coming from our present Governor, whose affiliation with a :r;ival
institution is so notorious.
·
"Were there · a reason behind his veto
other than the selfish one of protecting his
own institution (he can't take that to
Canada with his · Blower Works), the
problem might have been a more difficult
one for us. His vetoes have ):).ad the effect
merely of bringing our school .to the attention of people who were hitherto unfamiliar with lj:s merits.
"Our school ·has been under 'close scrutiny for two years, and that' is the very
'&est thing that could have happened to
it; for it has won us hosts of friends. Unlike some institutions that are advertised
by their 'loving friends,' the Suffolk Law
School has received its most effective advertising from its ba.ffled and shortsighted
enemies.
"We are going up to Beacon Hlll just
once more, in 1914-unless our enemies deIi
cide to give 'Us a lot more of advertising
a
e ~ by' procuring another veto. We are not
seeking for favors or unmerited privileges
at the hands of tlJ,,e Legislature; but for
;J
simple justice and fair play, and in spite
of vetoes and . 'pleasant Easters• · we are
going to stay right on the firing line until

BALLADS
OF'
BOSTON
AFTERWARDS.
HEN 'Gene's last "good thing" is jollied
And his truths are twisted awry,
\Vhen the softest sucker has faded
And scorned his merry "Old Boy,"
We shall rest, and, faith we shall need it
\Vhere 'Gene is never in view.
While he's tunneling out of the party
To flock with a party that's new.
And those that were bunked will be happy,
While those that were not get the fire,
They shall paste up ten-sheet posters
That shall bear no word but-liar.
The angels then won't be drawn on,
And Riley, Martin and Jawn,
Shall talk for an age at a sitting
And make the whole world yawn
Then only the bosses shall praise us
And only Eugene shall blame,
And no one shall work for money,
Because there'll be none in the game,
And each for the joy of working
The guy that thinks he's a star,
Shall call for the drink that pleases
As he leads him up to the bar
When 'Gene is dead and forgotten,
And his jokes are ancient and gray,
When there are no leaders to bunco,
,,o parties left to .,etray,
V\Te shall sit on the edge of chaos,
And in outer darkness carp
Of the songs and dances he gave us
·when he used to play on the "Harp"
