"Magna Carta is the Law: Let the King look out." So it has always been with tyrants among our own people: when the King was tyrant, let him look out.

Cannot you trust me to ensure a square deal to secure even justice between man and man?

I have yet to learn that the cause of peace can be served by rendering our country impotent.

They are engines of propaganda for the constantly-changing policies, desires, personal wishes, and personal likes and dislikes of two men? What the proprietorship of those papers is aiming at is power, and power without responsibility the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages.
