    The President is merely the most important among a large number
    of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to
    the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct,
    his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and
    disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is
    absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell
    the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as
    necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when
    he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both
    base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of
    the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or
    wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally
    treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should
    be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more
    important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him
    than about any one else.
