US Presidency
1908

Every executive head who advises violent, instead of gradual, action, or who advocates ill-considered and sweeping measures of reform ( especially if they are tainted with vindictiveness and disregard for the rights of the minority ) is particularly blameworthy. The several legislatures are responsible for the fact that our laws are often prepared with slovenly haste and lack of consideration. Moreover, they are often prepared, and still more frequently amended during passage, at the suggestion of the very parties against whom they are afterwards enforced.
