...respect, and if need be with generosity, and at the same time show herself able to protect herself by her own might from any wrong at the hands of any outside power. Each man here should feel that he has no excuse, as a citizen in a democratic republic like ours, if he fails to do his part in the government. It is not only his right to do so, but his duty; his duty both to the nation and to himself. Each man should feel that, if he fails in this, he is not only failing in his duty...

In a republic like ours the governing class is composed of the strong men who take the trouble to do the work of government; and if you are too timid or too fastidious or too careless to do your part in this work, then you forfeit your right to be considered one of the governing and you become one of the governed instead--one of the driven cattle of the political arena.

The recitals are given on Saturday mornings at 11 in Ford Memorial Hall, Ashburton place, close to the State House. Yours truly W. F. HARRIS...
...progressed far enough to see that we shall be required to struggle to maintain our political greatness. We threw away our great advantage of political isolation by taking the Philippines; we have changed the Constitution for external policy, and will soon find the Constitution inconvenient for internal policy. Problems like these are gradually coming to this country, which scholars alone can solve. Russia as she is today has much to fear from scholars, but the United States much to hope. Our country is going to owe a great debt to men who study things and see them clearly...
