The less pleasing it was because it was perfectly true and every man of them knew it. Beyond keeping the sheep off Flying U land, there was nothing they could do without stepping over the line into lawlessness and, while they were not in any sense a meek Happy Family, they were far more law-abiding than their conversation that night made them appear.

As The Times very truly observed in a leading article in 1912: "We remember no precedent in our domestic history since the Revolution of 1688 for a movement among citizens, law-abiding by temperament and habit, which resembles the present movement of the Ulster Protestants. It is no rabble who have undertaken it. It is the work of orderly, prosperous, and deeply religious men."

A year later the Barnum rose for the last time from Chicago and to this day the fate of the stanch craft and her brave captain remains an unsolved mystery. Life was never dull in Grant County, New Mexico, in the early eighties. There was always something doing usually something the average law-abiding, peace-loving citizen would have been glad enough to dispense with.

Some of the remarks were interesting in the extreme and Weary, listening, drew a deep sigh of thankfulness that they were not directed at himself, because his back was still lame and his hands sore, and in Portland law-abiding citizens are not supposed to "pack" a gun.

Still, certain general desirable traits of character unavoidably suggest themselves. To attempt a complete list seems futile, but the most salient have been dwelt upon by the moralists of many schools, and for centuries past. Does it not appear self-evident that a man should be law-abiding, honest, industrious, truthful, and capable of unselfishness?

He was not, therefore, the minister who would ruin a State or bring a State into revolution by obstinate adhesion to his own views in despite of every advice and every warning, and no doubt when he was delivering his harangue against all possible schemes of reform he felt still convinced that he was merely expressing the unalterable opinion of Peel and every other loyal subject whose judgment ought to prevail with a law-abiding people.

But he does not agree that this new spirit offers any positive contribution to Socialist tactics at the present time. Both deny that revolutionary economic action under capitalism is any more promising than revolutionary political action. Haywood, for example, has said that no Socialist can be a law-abiding citizen.

It really wasn't the money or I mean it might easily have been the same if there had been no money. But how shall I explain it? I am attracted by a big, bold, strong pirate, let us say, but as soon as he has carried me off that is the phrase for it then he straightway renounces crime and becomes a law-abiding, peaceful citizen. My buccaneer transforms himself, under my very eyes, into an alderman!

Jimmie, the most useless man in the world is the fellow that keeps just within the law. But perhaps it isn't your law-abiding spirit so much as it is your fear. In blind and stupid obedience there is a certain sort of gallantry, and in trotting to Mrs. Cranceford's cluck you may be wise." "It's not that I'm afraid of offending her," the giant said.

The same thing isn't likely to happen again in a century. Florida is the most law-abiding State in the Union. And Dade County is perhaps the most law-abiding part of Florida. One would need a bodyguard in New York City, more than here. There have been a lot of holdups there." Gavin did not reply.
