The great need of this country
is the stern and universal lesson
that the law is supreme over all.
The only way to teach it is to
make it curb the rich and power
full as well as the obscure and
ignorant. When it is shown that
the offenses of the great will be
overtaken by swift and sure pun
ishment it will be much easier to
make the masses respect the law.
