Halaman 10 - The question is not what should we undo? It is, whether there is anything else we can do that would supply us with effective means, in the very process of regulation, for bettering the conditions under which the railroads are operated and for making them more useful servants of the country as a whole.
Halaman 90 - They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Halaman 26 - Geneva, to act in matters of voluntary relief and in accord with the military and naval authorities as a medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their Army and Navy...
