Illustration
by Dan Beard for "Travelling with a Reformer"
COSMOPOLITAN
MAGAZINE,
Dec. 16, 1893.
....every citizen of the republic ought to consider himself an unofficial policeman,
and keep unsalaried watch and ward over the laws and their execution.
- "Traveling With a Reformer"
Citizenship is what makes a republic; monarchies can get along without it.
- Speech, 4 March 1906
Cizitenship should be placed above everything else, even learning. Is there
in any college of the land a chair of citizenship where good citizenship and
all that it implies is taught? There is not one -- that is, not one where sane
citizenship is taught. There are some which teach insane citizenship, bastard
citizenship, but that is all. Patriotism! Yes; but patriotism is usually the
refuge of the scoundrel. He is the man who talks the loudest.

Good citizenship would teach accuracy of
thinking and accuracy of statement. - Speech, 14 May 1908 |
