...with Nathaniel Bacon. Patrick Henry, George Washington. He lauded the courage of General Robert E. Lee. And then: "The main reason why we can .all join in the movement to commemorate the deeds of immortal valor which marked these battlefields is because we all realize that out of a common expiation our common country has been greatly blessed. . . . The growth which our country has made since 1860 and the benefits which it has brought all our inhabitants are unsurpassed. Our population which was then about 31,500,000 has risen to about 118,000,000. Our wealth of about...
...mayoral election had seemed friendly horse play to the Princetonians, but in a presidential election they were not to be trifled with. Their citizenship, mostly newborn, surged within them.

Any doubt as to the guilt of a convicted man finds ready response in an aroused populace, but the murder of innocents in the prosecution of Prohibition or more reasonable laws is merely a news note. The safety of the people is not put before the attempt to capture people of dubious guilt when guns are put in the hands of excited men in open streets. The necessity of weapons for defense is not questioned; they were produced for that purpose in a fracas in Harvard...
