heart, let it be impressed upon
every mind, let it be taught in every
school, let it be preached from every
pulpit that liberty and order are
the inseparable indispensables to
just Government, that liberty with
out order is license and that order
without liberty is tyranny" he

mo keys to hand out, but if any of
the veterans get in any place where
you can't get out we'll give you a
key"
