Though Plunged In Ills And

What Gunpowder Did For War The Printing Press Has Done For The Mind.

On A Single Winged Word Hath Hung The Destiny Of Nations.

Statutes Are Mere Milestone, Telling How Far Yesterday's Thought Had Traveled; And The Talk Of The Sidewalk Today Is The Law Of The Land. With Us, Law In Nothing Unless Close Behind It Stands A Warm, Living Public Opinion.

Great Political Questions Stir The Deepest Nature Of One-half The Nation, But They Pass Far Above And Over The Heads Of The Other Half.

What Gunpowder Did For War, The Printing-press Has Done For The Mind; And The Statesman Is No Longer Clad In The Steel Of Special Education, But Every Reading Man Is His Judge.
