“If you are satisfied with the crumbs, if your philosophy is ‘please don’t say anything, you may offend somebody, some time, some place,’ if you have an inferiority complex which makes you afraid of shadows, then you can be expected to be either ignored or treated with contempt. On the other hand, if you have a real idea of justice and a real love for it, and have the courage to uphold and fight for it, then you will get some place, then you will be treated with respect. We have no free texts, or other educational justice here, because we do not unitedly and honestly demand it.” - From the Managing Editor’s Desk, Patrick F. Scanlan
