Suicide Is Not A Remedy

We Hold Reunions, Not For The Dead, For There Is Nothing In All The Earth That You And I Can Do For The Dead. They Are Past Our Help And Past Our Praise. We Can Add To Them No Glory, We Can Give To Them No Immortality. They Do Not Need Us, But Forever And Forever More We Need Them.

Now More Than Ever The People Are Responsible For The Character Of Their Congress. If That Body Be Ignorant, Reckless, And Corrupt, It Is Because The People Tolerate Ignorance, Recklessness, And Corruption. If It Be Intelligent, Brave, And Pure, It Is Because The People Demand These High Qualities To Represent Them In The National Legislature. . . . If The Next Centennial Does Not Find Us A Great Nation . . . It Will Be Because Those Who Represent The Enterprise, The Culture, And The Morality Of The Nation Do Not Aid In Controlling The Political Forces.

We Are Apt To Be Deluded Into False Security By Political Catch-words, Devised To Flatter Rather Than Instruct.

Tortured For The Republic.
