...When we tell Russia that her recognition will depend upon her internal organization we are taking an aggressive, and an offensive attitude. For as Jefferson said concerning the recognition of the French Republic after its career of terrorism,--'We surely cannot deny to any nation that right whereon our own is founded, that it may govern itself according to what form it pleases, and change that form at its own will, and that it may transact business with foreign nations through whatever organ it thinks proper'. Thus, over a century ago, a great American statesman declared the foreign policy...
...never before controlled America's foreign policy; it must not now prescribe our relations with Russia. If we are to remain stead fast to our policy of the past, the American policy first voiced by Jefferson, we must abandon our present unjustifiable stand and make recognition of Russia depend, not upon the internal structure she has chosen, but upon international relations between Russia and America
...many years to come. Shall it be a chaos of jarring self-interests, to which each race and each class contributes its harsher notes, or shall it be a harmony of what is best in each. The question will not soon have its final answer, and that answer will depend less upon the generation which is passing away than on that which is now coming on the stage. Even men now young may not see all that will come in the fullness of time. Our forefathers planted the seed, our fathers cultivated it, and we must carry on the work...
...Class Day Committee, after nearly half a year of thorough work and careful planning, today prepare to rest their case. The brief is taken from their hands and the success or failure of the Day now depend upon the Weather-man and the Junior Ushers.

In his case reasoning will have to be abandoned in favor of a water-soaked, imploring faith. But the latter, closer within reach, may be reminded how much depends upon them. If, as seems probable...
...unknown distance whose spectrum has been photographed, the relative intensity of the lines is compared with a standard reduction curve, and the star is at once recognized as of a certain luminosity or absolute magnitude. The apparent brightness of this star, however, as seen from the earth will depend on its distance from us. The apparent brightness or magnitude is then determined either visually or photographically; and, knowing the actual brightness, the distance of the star is computed on the basis of the well known law of physics that the intensity of light varies inversely as the square...
