Typical of the sniggling subservience paid the Governor of Massachusetts by his horde of minions is the Registrar of Motor Vehicles' handling of the latest Curley accident. Not only has the unfortunate driver of the other car, young Ferreira, been summarily and unjustly deprived of his license but the full weight of bureaucratic persecution has been levelled at his head, despite the impartial and credible testimony of twelve witnesses. Such is justice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts under the stewardship of James M. Curley.

In a savage and irrational attack, indiscriminately levelled at the witnesses to the crash, the Press, reporters in general, and Ferreira, Goodwin blames newspaper handling of the affair, reconstructs a highly unlikely series of events leading to the crash and is fatuous enough to assume that any proportion of the thinking public will credit his words with truth.

Perhaps it is incorrect to refuse to believe the statement of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. Perhaps the Curley car was not going over 50 miles, as has been testified. Perhaps it was not passing another car at that rate and perhaps the Governor's person is so estimable in the sight of the powers that be that he will always be miraculously shielded from harm. In view of the fact that he has been involved in a long string of accidents and is notorious throughout the state for the reckless speeding of his cars, the above supposition luckily holds but small liklihood.

At any rate, even though the Governor need fear the powers of heaven, he need not fear the restrictions of man while he maintains his hold on the political throat of Massachusetts. Children in the streets, women at crossings, the citizen at the wheel had best beware. So long as Curley rides abroad their days are numbered.
