men age doe
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
men rights mind
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.

That one flag encircles us with its folds today, the unrivaled object of our loyal love.
book taken together
If you take out of your statutes, your constitution, your family life all that is taken from the Sacred Book, what would there be left to bind society together?
class law practice
If the educated and influential classes in a community either practice or connive at the systematic violation of laws that seem to them to cross their convenience, what can they expect when the lesson that convenience or a supposed class interest is a sufficient cause for lawlessness has been well learned by the ignorant classes?
men rights law
When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?
government oath-of-office people
There is no constitutional or legal requirement that the President shall take the oath of office in the presence of the People but there is so manifest an appropriateness in the public induction to office of the chief executive officer of the nation that from the beginning of the Government the people to whose service the official oath consecrates the officer, have been called to witness the solemn ceremonial
presidential intimidation crime
The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimidation is a crime too grave to be regarded lightly.
