We Americans Have No Commission From God

God Forbid That The Day Should Ever Come When, In The American Mind, The Thought Of Man As A Consumer Shall Submerge The Old American Thought Of Man As A Creature Of God, Endowed With Unalienable Rights.

The Disfranchisement Of A Single Legal Elector By Fraud Or Intimidation Is A Crime Too Grave To Be Regarded Lightly.

No Other People Have A Government More Worthy Of Their Respect And Love Or A Land So Magnificent In Extent, So Pleasant To Look Upon, And So Full Of Generous Suggestion To Enterprise And Labor.

I Cannot Always Sympathize With That Demand Which We Hear So Frequently For Cheap Things. Things May Be Too Cheap. They Are Too Cheap When The Man Or Woman Who Produces Them Upon The Farm Or The Man Or Woman Who Produces Them In The Factory Does Not Get Out Of Them Living Wages With A Margin For Old Age And For A Dowry For The Incidents That Are To Follow. I Pity The Man Who Wants A Coat So Cheap That The Man Or Woman Who Produces The Cloth Or Shapes It Into A Garment Will Starve In The Process.

I Am Thorough Believer In The American Test Of Character. He Will Not Build High Who Does Not Build For Himself.
