...courts. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Nothing can undermine public esteem for law more certainly than a prevalent suspicion that its guardians care more for their own consistency than for human rights. The real enemies of our institutions are nomen like Sacco and Vanzettil whose criticisms are outspoken and can be met, while their constructions are Utoplan. Our real enemies are those who defend the indefensible, who refuse to acknowledge errors obvious to all thoughtful men, and who defer to lesser interests that primary concern for justice without which no law is worthy of respect and no government...
...Ohio. But last week his daughter fell ill. He went home, was jailed. A synopsis of future chapters in Indiana's biggest excitement in months, at the bottom of which lies war between the friends and foes of Prohibition, will doubtless include further encounters between an outrageously outspoken journalist and a spokesman of self-righteousness...
Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania is a champion for his state-more exactly, he is the most outspoken and vigorous champion for that potent coterie of Mellon-Reed-Pepper, which has its politico business headquarters in Pittsburgh.

An implacable enemy of jingoism and of militarism, he at the same time tempered his principles with wisdom. The Anti-Imperalist League which won such undeserved unpopularity in 1898 had no more ardent nor outspoken leader than the President of Harvard University. We of this generation do not know of this, but we have some idea of what he meant to America when we think that Theodore Roosevelt acknowledged him as the one man in the world he envied. The Great War is different, however...
