Stran 179 - A non-contributory pension system is simply a counsel of despair. If such a scheme be defensible or excusable in this country, then the whole economic and social system is a failure. The adoption of such a policy would be a confession of its breakdown.

Stran 50 - Speaker, they will not bate us a pin ; we may not buy our own cloaths without their brokage. These are the leeches that have sucked the commonwealth so hard, that it is almost become hectical.

Stran 15 - It is a shining day in any educated man's growth when he comes to see and to know and to feel and freely to admit that it is just as important to the world that the .ragamuffin child of his worthless neighbor should be trained as it is that his own child should be. Until a man sees this he...
Stran 44 - In our country and in our times no man is worthy the honored name of a statesman who does not include the highest practicable education of the people in all his plans of administration.
Stran 13 - The people have the right to the privilege of education, and it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain that right.
