Public Officers Are The Servants

I Believe That The Public Temper Is Such That The Voters Of The Land Are Prepared To Support The Party Which Gives The Best Promise Of Administering The Government In The Honest, Simple, And Plain Manner Which Is Consistent With Its Character And Purposes. They Have Learned That Mystery And Concealment In The Management Of Their Affairs Cover Tricks And Betrayal. The Statesmanship They Require Consists In Honesty And Frugality, A Prompt Response To The Needs Of The People As They Arise, And A Vigilant Protection Of All Their Varied Interests.

I Mistake The American People If They Favor The Odious Doctrine That There Is No Such Thing As International Morality; That There Is One Law For A Strong Nation And Another For A Weak One.

It Is A Condition Which Confronts Us-not A Theory.

Loyalty To The Principles Upon Which Our Government Rests Positively Demands That The Equality Before The Law Which It Guarantees To Every Citizen Should Be Justly And In Good Faith Conceded In All Parts Of The Land.

Some Day I Will Be Better Remembered.
