W.E.B. Du Bois: “When voting touches the vital, everyday interests of all, nominations and elections will call for more intelligent…”

But whichever it is, the meaning is always clear: that sometime, somewhere, men will judge men by their souls and not by their skins.

Such an assumption is the arrogance of peoples irreverent toward Time and ignorant of the deeds of men.

So wofully unorganized is sociological knowledge that the meaning of progress, the meaning of “swift” and “slow” in human doing, and the limits of human perfectability, are veiled, unanswered sphinxes on the shores of science.

Let the ears of a guilty people tingle with truth, and seventy millions sigh for the righteousness which exalteth nations, in this drear day when human brotherhood is mockery and a snare.
