5046	And is n''t that what we do best?

5034	I hear the voices of dissent- who does not?
5034	If asked, Are you ready to defend yourselves?
5034	In the meantime may I make this suggestion?
5034	Is it meant that we are not ready upon brief notice to put a nation in the field, a nation of men trained to arms?
5034	May I not say a special word about the needs of Belgium and northern France?
5034	May I not urge its early and favorable consideration by the House of Representatives and its early enactment into law?
5034	The question is not what should we undo?
5034	To defend ourselves against attack?
5034	To what sources, then, shall we turn?
5034	We have the resources, but are we fully ready to use them?
5034	What is meant by being prepared?
5034	What shall we do, then, to push this great war of freedom and justice to its righteous conclusion?
5048	And if we do n''t do it now, when will we ever get around to it?
5048	And let the final test of everything we do be a simple one: Is it good for the American people?
5048	And without blinking an eye, she looked at 40 governors and she said, when my boy goes to school and they say"What does your mother do for a living?"
5048	And, third, how do we meet these challenges together, as one America?
5048	Do we need common sense and fairness in our regulations?
5048	Do you believe we can become one nation?
5048	Do you believe we can create more jobs over the long run by cleaning the environment up?
5048	Do you believe we can expand the economy without hurting the environment?
5048	How many other families have never had that same opportunity?
5048	How will we mark that passage?
5048	Is it paid for?
5048	My tests for our proposals will be: Will it create jobs and raise incomes?
5048	Now why should Americans be concerned about this?
5048	Now, why?
5048	Second, how do we preserve our old and enduring values as we move into the future?
5048	Should we cut the deficit more?
5048	That was encouraging, you know?
5048	The title of a best- selling book asked:"America: What went wrong?"
5048	Tonight, my fellow Americans, we are summoned to answer a question as old as the republic itself, what is the state of our union?
5048	What are we to do about it?
5048	What does it mean?
5048	What does that mean?
5048	What should we do with this projected surplus?
5048	What we have to do in our day and generation to make sure that America truly becomes one nation, what do we have to do?
5048	Who would say that this age of possibility is not for all Americans?
5048	Who would say that, having come so far together, we will not go forward from here?
5048	Why do we want guaranteed private insurance?
5048	Will it build the middle class and shrink the underclass?
5048	Will it strengthen our families and support our children?
5023	Just satisfactionfor what?
5023	And why?
5023	As a good neighbor, shall we not extend to her a helping hand to save her?
5023	But are we to presume in advance that he will thus violate his duty?
5023	But by what authority are these denied?
5023	But can Congress only act after the fact, after the mischief has been done?
5023	But does not the present case fairly constitute an exception?
5023	But if we possessed this power, would it be wise to exercise it under existing circumstances?
5023	But is it beyond the power of a State, like an individual, to yield a portion of its sovereign rights to secure the remainder?
5023	But let this trade be reopened and what will be the effect?
5023	Have they no power to confer upon the President the authority in advance to furnish instant redress should such a case afterwards occur?
5023	How, then, can the result justify a revolution to destroy this very Constitution?
5023	In the meantime, who can foretell what would be the sufferings and privations of the people during its existence?
5023	Is it possible that such a country as this can be given up to anarchy and ruin without an effort from any quarter for its rescue and its safety?
5023	It may be asked, then, Are the people of the States without redress against the tyranny and oppression of the Federal Government?
5023	Must they wait until the mischief has been done, and can they apply the remedy only when it is too late?
5023	Shall we hold it as a province and govern it by despotic power?
5023	Suppose such a war should result in the conquest of a State; how are we to govern it afterwards?
5023	What has been the consequence?
5023	What, in the meantime, is the responsibility and true position of the Executive?
5023	Will the commercial nations of the world, which have so many interests connected with it, remain wholly indifferent to such a result?
5024	And as it is to so go at all events, may we not agree that the sooner the better?
5024	And if A and B should agree, how can they know but that the General Government here will reject their plan?
5024	And in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to receive them?
5024	And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period?
5024	Are they not already in the land?
5024	But why any proclamation now upon this subject?
5024	But why should emancipation South send the free people North?
5024	But why tender the benefits of this provision only to a State government set up in this particular way?
5024	Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
5024	Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
5024	Can we, can they, by any other means so certainly or so speedily assure these vital objects?
5024	Could the one in any way greatly disturb the seven?
5024	Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes?
5024	If, then, for a common object this property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge?
5024	If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon?
5024	Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity and perpetuate both indefinitely?
5024	Is it doubted that we here-- Congress and Executive can secure its adoption?
5024	Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood?
5024	Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage?
5024	Is it less fertile?
5024	Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
5024	Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than by remaining slaves?
5024	It is not"Can any of us imagine better?"
5024	Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,"Can we do better?"
5024	Why may not our country at some time average as many?
5024	Will liberation make them any more numerous?
5024	Will not the good people respond to a united and earnest appeal from us?
5024	but"Can we all do better?"
11034	And why should we expect it to be otherwise?
11034	Could not all the objects of graduation be accomplished in this way, and the objections which have hitherto been urged against it avoided?
11034	Does not this speak volumes to the patriot?
11034	If so, in what light are we to regard the continued acts of jurisdiction now exercised by him in the Madawaska settlement?
11034	If they were neither St. Lawrence nor Atlantic, why were they not excepted?
11034	Is not redress urgently called for?
11034	May it not be said, in the language of another,"Maine has not been treated as she endeavored to deserve"?
11034	May not all reasonable desires upon this subject be satisfied without encountering any of these objections?
11034	Must not this unoffending citizen be immediately released?
11034	Now, how are the facts?
11034	We ask, nay we demand, in the name of justice, HOW LONG we are to be thus trampled down by a foreign people?
11034	We would ask why, in what justice, if we can not find the object in the route prescribed, are we to be thus trammeled?
11034	What can be more gratifying than such a retrospect as this?
11034	What, then, has the Federal Government done for this State?
11034	Where is the_ reciprocity_ of such a proposition, so degrading to the dignity and insulting to the rights and liberties of this State?
11034	Why should such a line not be agreed to likewise for the boundary eastward from the river Connecticut?
11034	Will the public money when in their hands be necessarily exposed to any improper interference on the part of the Executive?
11034	Would any single measure be so effective in removing all plausible grounds for these intrusions as the graduation of price already suggested?
50950	After all, why would we choose to make deeper cuts to education and Medicare just to protect special interest tax breaks?
50950	And I know that with all the lobbying and horse- trading, the process left most Americans wondering,"What''s in it for me?"
50950	And finally, how can we make our politics reflect what''s best in us and not what''s worst?
50950	And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?
50950	And the question is, how?
50950	And you know what else they share?
50950	But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes?
50950	Can you blame them for feeling a little cynical?
50950	Democrats and Republicans have supported it before, so what are we waiting for?
50950	Do we want to keep these tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans?
50950	Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores?
50950	First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy?
50950	For those who make these claims, I have one simple question: How long should we wait?
50950	How do we equip our people with the skills they need to get those jobs?
50950	How does that promote growth?
50950	How is that fair?
50950	How long should America put its future on hold?
50950	I-- am I right?
50950	It''s why our students do n''t just memorize equations, but answer questions like:"What do you think of that idea?
50950	Or do we want to keep our investments in everything else, like education and medical research, a strong military and care for our veterans?
50950	Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?
50950	Or will we face the future with confidence in who we are, in what we stand for, in the incredible things that we can do together?
50950	Or will we lead wisely, using all elements of our power to defeat new threats and protect our planet?
50950	Or will we recapture the sense of common purpose that has always propelled America forward?
50950	Second, how do we make technology work for us and not against us, especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change?
50950	See?
50950	So what does middle class economics require in our time?
50950	Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?
50950	What do you say, Joe?
50950	What do you want to be when you grow up?"
50950	What would you change about the world?
50950	What''s holding us back?
50950	Who benefited from that fiasco?
50950	Why are-- why would we be against that?
50950	Why is it that deficit reduction is a big emergency justifying making cuts in Social Security benefits, but not closing some loopholes?
50950	Why would that be a partisan issue, helping folks refinance?
50950	Why would we let that happen?
50950	Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well?
50950	Will we allow ourselves to be sorted into factions and turned against one another?
50950	Will we approach the world fearful and reactive, dragged into costly conflicts that strain our military and set back our standing?
50950	Will we respond to the changes of our time with fear, turning inward as a nation, turning against each other as a people?
50950	You want to show our strength in this new century?
12464	And why should not this be done?
12464	And why should our difference on this alone be pushed to extremes?
12464	But why not have limited the provision to that effect?
12464	Can anything be more fatal to the merchant or manufacturer than such an alliance?
12464	Can the Government be generous and munificent to others when every dollar it can command is necessary to supply its own wants?
12464	Do its provisions contradict its title?
12464	Does it violate the Constitution by creating a national bank to operate_ per se_ over the Union?
12464	If such is not meant, why postpone at all?
12464	In case of the seizure of such a vessel by a foreign cruiser, and of her being brought into a port of the United States, what is to be done with her?
12464	Is it for the accommodation of the Treasury?
12464	Is it objected that it is proposed to authorize the agencies to deal in bills of exchange?
12464	Is it such a bill as calls for the exercise of the negative power under the Constitution?
12464	Is the manufacturer prepared to stake himself and his interests upon such an issue?
12464	Is the measure now under consideration of the objectionable character to which I have alluded?
12464	Is this bill now presented for my approval or disapproval such a bill as I have already declared could not receive my sanction?
12464	Nay, is it not fairly to be presumed that this proviso was introduced for the sole purpose of meeting the contingency referred to?
12464	Shall she be libeled, prosecuted, and condemned as if arrested by a cruiser of the United States?
12464	Shall there be no discretionary authority permitted to refuse to become the instruments of such malevolence?
12464	V. What is to be considered as the northwestern head of Connecticut River?
12464	What can the local discounts of the bank have to do with the collecting, safe- keeping, and disbursing of the revenue?
12464	What influence have local discounts granted by any form of bank in the regulating of the currency and the exchanges?
12464	What interest of hers was affected by the treaty?
12464	What is the position of the northwest angle of Nova Scotia?
12464	What principle of good faith, then, was violated?
12464	What rule of political morals trampled under foot?
12464	What stream is to be understood by the name of the river St. Croix?
12464	Why else should it have been introduced?
12464	Why is a proceeding of this sort adopted at this time?
12464	Why not let the distribution take place on the 1st of July if the law so directs( which, however, is regarded as questionable)?
12464	Why should it be on this?
12464	Why urge matters to an extremity?
11125	And for what is five millions appropriated?
11125	And if either extreme carry its point, what is that so far forth but dissolution of the Union?
11125	Are we not too prone to forget that the Federal Union is the creature of the States, not they of the Federal Union?
11125	Between whom was the compact?
11125	But how should that convenient time be ascertained?
11125	But how?
11125	But if it had moral authority over men''s consciences, to whom did this authority attach?
11125	But in what sense can it be asserted that the enactment in question was invested with perpetuity and entitled to the respect of a solemn compact?
11125	But where does Congress get the power to purchase?
11125	Can it be claimed that any of these functions of local administration and legislation are vested in the Federal Government by any implication?
11125	Could a more decisive indication of the true construction and the spirit of the Constitution in regard to all matters of this nature have been given?
11125	Disunion for what?
11125	Do my countrymen need any assurance that such a catastrophe is not to overtake them while I possess the power to stay it?
11125	Does the spirit which has produced such results need to be stimulated or checked?
11125	In all this, if any aggression there were, any innovation upon preexisting rights, to which portion of the Union are they justly chargeable?
11125	Is it not the better rule to leave all these works to private enterprise, regulated and, when expedient, aided by the cooperation of States?
11125	Needful for any possible purpose within the whole range of the business of society and of Government?
11125	What does it embrace and what exclude?
11125	What is intended by the phrase"internal improvements"?
11125	What is the voice of history?
11125	What remains?
11125	When sectional agitators shall have succeeded in forcing on this issue, can their pretensions fail to be met by counter pretensions?
11125	Where will you begin and where end?
11125	Wherefore needful?
11125	Who does not appreciate the incalculable benefits of the acquisition of Louisiana?
11125	Who would rejoice to hail Texas as a lone star instead of one in the galaxy of States?
11125	Who would wish to see Florida still a European colony?
11125	Will not different States be compelled, respectively, to meet extremes with extremes?
11125	Without it what are we individually or collectively?
10919	And what has been the effect?
10919	Are not the latter clearly and evidently comprised in the former?
10919	At what time and in what manner would a new negotiation terminate?
10919	But it may be asked, If such was the intention, why were not all the other terms of the grant transferred with it?
10919	By what means shall we contribute most to cement the Union and give the greatest support to our most excellent Constitution?
10919	Can it be presumed that all these circumstances were so nicely adjusted by mere accident?
10919	Can they be punished?
10919	For what purpose?
10919	From whence do these pressures come?
10919	Have Congress a right to raise and appropriate the money to any and to every purpose according to their will and pleasure?
10919	Have such, or any, burthens been imposed to advance the system to its present state?
10919	Have they a right to exercise jurisdiction within those buildings?
10919	How carry it into effect?
10919	How did we accomplish the Revolution?
10919	How sustain and pass with glory through the late war?
10919	How, then, shall this revenue be applied?
10919	If that were done, to what consequences might it not lead?
10919	In explaining my sentiments on this subject it may be asked, What raised us to the present happy state?
10919	Is it contemplated to open a new negotiation respecting any of the articles or conditions of the treaty?
10919	Is it not more just to conclude that they were the result of due deliberation and design?
10919	Is this the time to make the pressure?
10919	On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union?
10919	Ought we not, then, to adopt every measure which may be necessary to perpetuate them?
10919	Shall we act by taking the ceded territory and proceeding to execute the other conditions of the treaty before this minister arrives and is heard?
10919	Should it be idle in the Treasury?
10919	Should war break out in any of those countries, who can foretell the extent to which it may be carried or the desolation which it may spread?
10919	The points on which you will have to decide are, What is fairly due for the services which were actually rendered?
10919	The question therefore is, What power is granted by that word?
10919	These great powers, embracing the whole scope of our foreign relations, being granted, on what principle can it be said that the minor are withheld?
10919	To what, then, do we owe these blessings?
10919	To whom were the charters granted, to the people of each colony or to the people of all the colonies as a single community?
10919	What are the dangers which menace us?
10919	What has been the progress since that time?
10919	What is the just import of these words and the extent of the grant?
10919	What produced the Revolution?
10919	What rights?
10919	Wherein consists the danger of giving a liberal construction to the right of Congress to raise and appropriate the public money?
10919	Who has been deprived of any right of person or property?
10919	Who restrained from offering his vows in the mode which he prefers to the Divine Author of his being?
11202	And can we justify ourselves to the people by longer lending to it the money and power of the Government to be employed for such purposes?
11202	And does it allow him to direct what particular notes shall or shall not be received for lands or for duties?
11202	And what is the occasion upon which other principles have been first officially asserted?
11202	But in what condition would he find that tribunal?
11202	But what was the result?
11202	Can it now be said that the question of a recharter of the bank was not decided at the election which ensued?
11202	Could he have said less in this branch of his message?
11202	Does France desire only a declaration that we had no intention to obtain our rights by an address to her fears rather than to her justice?
11202	Has the country been ruined, or even distressed?
11202	Has the warning voice of Washington been forgotten, or have designs already been formed to sever the Union?
11202	If such was its power in a time of peace, what would it not have been in a season of war, with an enemy at your doors?
11202	If the measure to which I alluded should be adopted and submitted to, what would His Majesty''s Government require?
11202	In fact, sir, what were those objections?
11202	In such a case what would be the character of the directors?
11202	In what respect does it differ from and how far will it change the joint resolution of April 30, 1816?
11202	Is a fiscal agent of the Government which thus seeks to enrich itself at the expense of the public worthy of further trust?
11202	Might he not be asked whether there was any such limitation to his obligations prescribed in the Constitution?
11202	The disavowal of any intent to influence the councils of France by threats?
11202	Was it ever more prosperous than since that act?
11202	Was it their duty to remain silent while abuses of the most injurious and dangerous character were daily practiced?
11202	Were they bound to disregard the call?
11202	What have you to gain by division and dissension?
11202	What was the cause of this desire to bring the business before the Chambers at an early day?
11202	What would be the sworn duty of the President?
11202	What, in fact, were they?
11202	What, then, was this engagement?
11202	What, then, were they?
11202	When shall it be commenced?
11021	Just satisfactionfor what?
11021	And what is the nature of the investigation which his resolution proposes to institute?
11021	And what law does not appertain to the rights of some State or Territory?
11021	And what law or laws has the President failed to execute?
11021	And why?
11021	As a good neighbor, shall we not extend to her a helping hand to save her?
11021	But are we to presume in advance that he will thus violate his duty?
11021	But by what authority are these denied?
11021	But can Congress only act after the fact, after the mischief has been done?
11021	But does not the present case fairly constitute an exception?
11021	But if we possessed this power, would it be wise to exercise it under existing circumstances?
11021	But in what manner is popular sovereignty to be exercised in this country if not through the instrumentality of established law?
11021	But is it beyond the power of a State, like an individual, to yield a portion of its sovereign rights to secure the remainder?
11021	But let this trade be reopened and what will be the effect?
11021	But should they fail to do this, what would be the consequence?
11021	But what was the duty of the President at the time the troops were ordered to this city?
11021	From what part of the Constitution is this terrible secret inquisitorial power derived?
11021	From which of the enumerated powers can it be inferred?
11021	Have they no power to confer upon the President the authority in advance to furnish instant redress should such a case afterwards occur?
11021	How, then, can the result justify a revolution to destroy this very Constitution?
11021	In the meantime, who can foretell what would be the sufferings and privations of the people during its existence?
11021	Is it possible that such a country as this can be given up to anarchy and ruin without an effort from any quarter for its rescue and its safety?
11021	It may be asked, then, Are the people of the States without redress against the tyranny and oppression of the Federal Government?
11021	Must they wait until the mischief has been done, and can they apply the remedy only when it is too late?
11021	Shall he alone not be"informed of the nature and cause of the accusation"against him?
11021	Shall he alone not"be confronted with the witnesses"against him?
11021	Shall he alone of all the citizens of the United States be denied a fair trial?
11021	Shall the Executive alone be deprived of rights which all his fellow- citizens enjoy?
11021	Shall we hold it as a province and govern it by despotic power?
11021	Such being the unfortunate condition of affairs in the Territory, what was the right as well as the duty of the law- abiding people?
11021	Suppose such a war should result in the conquest of a State; how are we to govern it afterwards?
11021	The power"to regulate:"Does this ever embrace the power to create or to construct?
11021	The question which now demands immediate decision is, What disposition shall be made of these Africans?
11021	What has been the consequence?
11021	What necessity exists for it?
11021	What, in the meantime, is the responsibility and true position of the Executive?
11021	What, then, was the object of the appropriation proposed by the bill?
11021	Which of the three powers named by Great Britain as an arbiter shall be chosen by the United States?
11021	Why should the House of Representatives desire to encroach on the other departments of the Government?
11021	Why should we impair or destroy the system at the present moment?
11021	Will the commercial nations of the world, which have so many interests connected with it, remain wholly indifferent to such a result?
10858	And for what, mistaken men?
10858	And if they were so disposed would it be the duty of this Government to protect them in the attempt?
10858	And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian?
10858	And unless they did would it not be the duty of the General Government to support them in resisting such a measure?
10858	And was the prosecution of such hostilities an usurpation in each case by the Executive which conducted them of the constitutional power of Congress?
10858	Are you free from the apprehension of civil discord, with all its fearful consequences?
10858	Are you really ready to incur its guilt?
10858	Are you united at home?
10858	Assuming these suggestions to be correct, will not our constituents require the observance of a course by which they can be effected?
10858	But if you were assembled in general convention, which would you think the safest depository of this discretionary power in the last resort?
10858	But will there ever be a time when this reason will be less powerful?
10858	Can the States who magnanimously surrendered their title to the territories of the West recall the grant?
10858	Can those sacrifices be recalled?
10858	Could the Indians establish a separate republic on each of their reservations in Ohio?
10858	Did the name of Washington sanction, did the States deliberately ratify, such an anomaly in the history of fundamental legislation?
10858	Did we pledge ourselves to the support of an airy nothing-- a bubble that must be blown away by the first breath of disaffection?
10858	Do our neighboring republics, every day suffering some new revolution or contending with some new insurrection, do they excite your envy?
10858	Does Humanity weep at these painful separations from everything, animate and inanimate, with which the young heart has become entwined?
10858	Does any such exist?
10858	Doubtless it will be painful to leave the graves of their fathers; but what do they more than our ancestors did or than our children are now doing?
10858	For how is that purpose to be ascertained?
10858	For what do you throw away these inestimable blessings?
10858	For what would you exchange your share in the advantages and honor of the Union?
10858	If it be a bad one, why is it suffered to exist?
10858	If not, what further alteration or modification will the Senate propose?
10858	If the States feel themselves competent to these objects, why should this Government wish to assume the power?
10858	If the existing system be a good one, why should it not be extended?
10858	If your leaders could succeed in establishing a separation, what would be your situation?
10858	Is it more afflicting to him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to our brothers and children?
10858	Is it national and conducive to the benefit of the whole, or local and operating only to the advantage of a portion of the Union?
10858	Is the unconstitutionality of these laws of that description?
10858	Is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country?
10858	May he not be tempted to name his reward?
10858	Or will the Senate advise the conclusion of a treaty with that tribe as modified by the alterations suggested by me?
10858	Ought they not to require it?
10858	Shall there be a free port in one State and onerous duties in another?
10858	Was our devotion paid to the wretched, inefficient, clumsy contrivance which this new doctrine would make it?
10858	Were we mistaken, my countrymen, in attaching this importance to the Constitution of our country?
10858	What are they?
10858	What is the meaning of the word_ palpable_ in the sense in which it is here used?
10858	What, then, shall be done?
10858	Which is the most discreet disposition of the power?
10858	Which is the supreme law of the land?
10858	Who is to make the scrutiny?
10858	Why is it that they have been called upon to assist in our wars without the privilege of exercising their own discretion?
10858	Would the people of Maine permit the Penobscot tribe to erect an independent government within their State?
10858	Would you add a clause giving it to each of the States, or would you sanction the wise provisions already made by your Constitution?
12462	And as it is to so go at all events, may we not agree that the sooner the better?
12462	And can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it?
12462	And if A and B should agree, how can they know but that the General Government here will reject their plan?
12462	And in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to receive them?
12462	And should anyone in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to_ how_ it shall be kept?
12462	And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period?
12462	Are they not already in the land?
12462	But why any proclamation now upon this subject?
12462	But why should emancipation South send the free people North?
12462	But why tender the benefits of this provision only to a State government set up in this particular way?
12462	Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
12462	Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
12462	Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue?
12462	Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
12462	Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
12462	Can we, can they, by any other means so certainly or so speedily assure these vital objects?
12462	Could the one in any way greatly disturb the seven?
12462	Did we notify them of this sage view of ours when we borrowed their money?
12462	Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes?
12462	If, then, for a common object this property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge?
12462	If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon?
12462	In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right?
12462	Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity and perpetuate both indefinitely?
12462	Is it doubted that we here-- Congress and Executive-- can secure its adoption?
12462	Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood?
12462	Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage?
12462	Is it just either that creditors shall go unpaid or the remaining States pay the whole?
12462	Is it just that she shall leave and pay no part of this herself?
12462	Is it just that she shall now be off without consent or without making any return?
12462	Is it just that they shall go off without leave and without refunding?
12462	Is it less fertile?
12462	Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory_ after_ separation than_ before_?
12462	Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory_ after_ separation than_ before_?
12462	Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied?
12462	Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than by remaining slaves?
12462	Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
12462	Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only and prevent renewed secession?
12462	Is this quite just to creditors?
12462	It forces us to ask, Is there in all republics this inherent and fatal weakness?
12462	It is not"Can_ any_ of us_ imagine_ better?"
12462	Must a government of necessity be too_ strong_ for the liberties of its own people, or too_ weak_ to maintain its own existence?
12462	Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,"Can we do better?"
12462	One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak-- but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?
12462	Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority?
12462	Shall they be admitted?
12462	To state the question more directly, Are all the laws_ but one_ to go unexecuted, and the Government itself go to pieces lest that one be violated?
12462	To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?
12462	What is a"sovereignty"in the political sense of the term?
12462	Which of the three powers named by Great Britain as an arbiter shall be chosen by the United States?
12462	Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?
12462	Why may not our country at some time average as many?
12462	Why shall A adopt the plan of B rather than B that of A?
12462	Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
12462	Why this deliberate pressing out of view the rights of men and the authority of the people?
12462	Why?
12462	Why?
12462	Will liberation make them any more numerous?
12462	Will not the good people respond to a united and earnest appeal from us?
12462	Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence?
12462	Will you not embrace it?
12462	Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from, will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?
12462	Would it be far wrong to define it"a political community without a political superior"?
12462	Yet who can say that each was not best suited for his particular sphere of action?
12462	_ May_ Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories?
12462	_ Must_ Congress protect slavery in the Territories?
12462	but"Can we_ all_ do better?"
12462	is it rendered impossible by its vices?
12755	And if so, may we not dread, at some future day, a recurrence of the troubles which have so long agitated the country?
12755	Are the Senate to proceed without evidence?
12755	Are there exceptions to this proposition?
12755	Are you to look for it in the President, who has no control over the officer, no power to remove him if he acts unfeelingly or unfaithfully?
12755	But what had Congress done?
12755	But where is the construction to come from?
12755	But who shall watch the encroachment of these representatives themselves?
12755	Could not the President countermand any such order issued to you from the War Department?
12755	Could they for such a reason be wholly outlawed and deprived of their representation in the legislature?
12755	Cruel or unusual punishment is not to be inflicted; but who is to decide what is cruel and what is unusual?
12755	Does the lapse of time reveal defects?
12755	Have the people of the several States expressed such a conviction?
12755	Have they done anything to restore the Union of these States?
12755	Have we the power to establish and carry into execution a measure like this?
12755	Have we( that is, Congress) a right to extend this exception?
12755	How is the conflict to be settled, and who is to determine between the two tribunals when it arises?
12755	How is the criminal to be tried?
12755	How, then, can Congress confer power upon an executive officer of the United States to perform such duties in a State?
12755	If I have played the Judas, who has been my Christ that I have played the Judas with?
12755	If he is a civil officer of the State, where is the Federal power under our Constitution which authorizes his appointment by any Federal officer?
12755	If he is, where is the responsibility?
12755	If he were permitted by that successor to hold for the first two weeks, would that successor have no power to remove him?
12755	If the charge be incapacity, what evidence will support it?
12755	If the officer be accused of dishonesty, how shall it be made out?
12755	Is he a civil officer of the State or a civil officer of the United States?
12755	Is it intended that a denial of representation shall follow?
12755	Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor, as charged in this article?
12755	Is this true as matter of fact?
12755	Must he forbear his complaint until the mischief is done and can not be prevented?
12755	Of what avail to ask for the privilege of bail when in military custody, which knows no such thing as bail?
12755	Q. I see it stated that this was received at 10.20 p.m. Was that the hour at which it was received by you?
12755	Referring to the dispatch of the 28th of July by General Baird, I ask you whether that dispatch on its receipt was communicated?
12755	Senator----, how say you?
12755	Shall he be continued, I ask again, against the will of the President?
12755	Shall he in the meantime risk the character and interest of the nation in the hands of men to whom he can not give his confidence?
12755	Stevens?
12755	Suppose a discovery of any of those events should take place when the Senate is not in session; how is the remedy to be applied?
12755	Suppose a person in office not possessing the talents he was judged to have at the time of the appointment; is the error not to be corrected?
12755	The question now resolves itself into this: Is the power of displacing an executive power?
12755	Was it Charles Sumner?
12755	Was it Wendell Phillips?
12755	Were those States afterwards expelled from the Union by the war?
12755	What is his character?
12755	What is the character of such a military civil officer?
12755	What is to be done in cases which can only be known from a long acquaintance with the conduct of an officer?
12755	What motive of public welfare can fail to condemn it?
12755	What next?
12755	What principle of justice requires such a policy?
12755	What, then, are the laws of the United States which deny the President the power to remove that officer?
12755	What, then, in the opinion of Congress, is necessary to make the constitution of a State"loyal and republican"?
12755	What, then, is that danger which can only be averted by the presence of Mr. Stanton or of Congress?
12755	What, then, is the ground on which this bill proceeds?
12755	When did they cease to be so?
12755	Where in any part of the globe can institutions be found so suited to their habits or so entitled to their love as their own free Constitution?
12755	Where in past history does a parallel exist to the public happiness which is within the reach of the people of the United States?
12755	Who had run greater risks or made greater sacrifices than himself?
12755	Why should incorporated companies have the privileges of individual preemptors?
12755	Will they be as jealous of the exercise of power by themselves as by others?
12755	Will you please advise me of the action taken, that I may instruct the receiver and the Commissioner of the General Land Office in the matter?
12755	Would such a trust and power be safe in such hands?
5050	Just satisfactionfor what?
5050	Abdicated?
5050	Ambitious aims?
5050	Americans are asking, why do they hate us?
5050	Americans are asking: How will we fight and win this war?
5050	Americans are asking: What is expected of us?
5050	Americans are asking: Who attacked our country?
5050	And I thought,"Really?
5050	And as it is to so go at all events, may we not agree that the sooner the better?
5050	And for each of us the question then becomes, not"Will change cause me inconvenience?"
5050	And how are we to get the ships if we wait for the trade to develop without them?
5050	And if A and B should agree, how can they know but that the General Government here will reject their plan?
5050	And if either extreme carry its point, what is that so far forth but dissolution of the Union?
5050	And if they were so disposed would it be the duty of this Government to protect them in the attempt?
5050	And if we do n''t do it now, when will we ever get around to it?
5050	And in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to receive them?
5050	And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled civilized Christian?
5050	And is n''t that what we do best?
5050	And let the final test of everything we do be a simple one: Is it good for the American people?
5050	And now, ladies and gentlemen of the Congress, why do n''t we get to work?
5050	And so, the question: If the fundamentals are in place, what now?
5050	And unless they did would it not be the duty of the General Government to support them in resisting such a measure?
5050	And what is it that it is suggested we should be prepared to do?
5050	And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period?
5050	And why should we expect it to be otherwise?
5050	And why?
5050	And without blinking an eye, she looked at 40 governors and she said, when my boy goes to school and they say"What does your mother do for a living?"
5050	And, if we can make ready what we have, have we the means at hand to distribute it?
5050	And, third, how do we meet these challenges together, as one America?
5050	Are they not already in the land?
5050	Are we at the end?
5050	As a good neighbor, shall we not extend to her a helping hand to save her?
5050	At what time and in what manner would a new negotiation terminate?
5050	Between whom was the compact?
5050	But admitting that these two classes of citizens are to be benefited by expansion, would it be honest to give it?
5050	But all these necessities have now been served, and the question is, What is best for the railroads and for the public in the future?
5050	But are we to presume in advance that he will thus violate his duty?
5050	But by what authority are these denied?
5050	But can Congress only act after the fact, after the mischief has been done?
5050	But can they proclaim themselves entirely irresponsible for this condition?
5050	But do they do right in ignoring the existence of violence and bloodshed in resistance to constituted authority?
5050	But does not the present case fairly constitute an exception?
5050	But how can they discharge these duties unless they be themselves protected?
5050	But if it had moral authority over men''s consciences, to whom did this authority attach?
5050	But if the gold reserve falls below$ 100,000,000, how will it be replenished except by selling more bonds?
5050	But if we possessed this power, would it be wise to exercise it under existing circumstances?
5050	But in what sense can it be asserted that the enactment in question was invested with perpetuity and entitled to the respect of a solemn Compact?
5050	But is it beyond the power of a State, like an individual, to yield a portion of its sovereign rights to secure the remainder?
5050	But it is worth while asking and answering the question, When shall we consider the war won?
5050	But let this trade be reopened and what will be the effect?
5050	But should n''t we feel more compassion for the victims of crime than for those who commit crime?
5050	But should such a step be now taken, when it is apparent that a hopeful change has supervened in the policy of Spain toward Cuba?
5050	But then would it not be better to do away with them entirely?
5050	But unless and until it can be proven that an unborn child is not a living human being, can we justify assuming without proof that it is n''t?
5050	But we should not be asking:"In what country were you born?"
5050	But what happened?
5050	But who shall tell us now what sort of navy to build?
5050	But why any proclamation now upon this subject?
5050	But why should emancipation South send the free people North?
5050	But why tender the benefits of this provision only to a State government set up in this particular way?
5050	But would it not be salutary to give also the means of preventing their commission?
5050	Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
5050	Can anything be done to relieve situation, now acute?
5050	Can this be said in the face of the effect of the Northern Securities decree?
5050	Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
5050	Can we achieve these goals?
5050	Can we, can they, by any other means so certainly or so speedily assure these vital objects?
5050	Could not all the objects of graduation be accomplished in this way, and the objections which have hitherto been urged against it avoided?
5050	Could the Indians establish a separate republic on each of their reservations in Ohio?
5050	Could the one in any way greatly disturb the seven?
5050	Did this mean we had to drop everything else and concentrate on armies and weapons?
5050	Disunion for what?
5050	Do they suggest any solution?
5050	Do we desire to make such ruthless combinations and monopolies lawful?
5050	Do we gain strength by withholding the remedy?
5050	Do we need common sense and fairness in our regulations?
5050	Do you believe we can become one nation?
5050	Do you believe we can create more jobs over the long run by cleaning the environment up?
5050	Do you believe we can expand the economy without hurting the environment?
5050	Does Humanity weep at these painful separations from every thing animate and inanimate with which the young heart has become entwined?
5050	Does it seem strange to you that this should be the conclusion of the argument I have just addressed to you?
5050	Does not this speak volumes to the patriot?
5050	Does the lapse of time reveal defects?
5050	Does the spirit which has produced such results need to be stimulated or checked?
5050	Doubtless it will be painful to leave the graves of their fathers; but what do they more than our ancestors did or than our children are now doing?
5050	Easy to do?
5050	Finally, what can we do to move from the present pause toward enduring peace?
5050	First of all, how have we gone about meeting the requirement of providing for our security against this world- wide challenge?
5050	First, how fares the grand alliance?
5050	From whence do these pressures come?
5050	Given their vast internal base of operations, and their agents in foreign lands, what are the communist rulers trying to do?
5050	Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes?
5050	Have they no power to confer upon the President the authority in advance to furnish instant redress should such a case afterwards occur?
5050	How are we to carry our goods to the empty markets of which I have spoken if we have not the ships?
5050	How can we help?
5050	How can we not believe in the greatness of America?
5050	How can we not do what is right and needed to preserve this last best hope of man on Earth?
5050	How can we truly open the doors, and set free the full genius of our people?
5050	How could we do less?
5050	How far have we come during the last 10 years and how far can we go in the next 10?
5050	How have we handled our national finances?
5050	How many men who listen to me tonight have served their Nation in other wars?
5050	How many other families have never had that same opportunity?
5050	How many times have we seen it?
5050	How shall we meet this challenge?
5050	How shall we obtain the new revenue?
5050	How should we accomplish this?
5050	How very many are not here to listen?
5050	How well prepared are we to enter the 21st century?
5050	How will such officials be likely to serve an Administration which they know does not trust them?
5050	How will we mark that passage?
5050	How, then, can the result justify a revolution to destroy this very Constitution?
5050	I hear the voices of dissent- who does not?
5050	If asked, Are you ready to defend yourselves?
5050	If it be a bad one why is it suffered to exist?
5050	If people can get together on such projects, is it not possible that we could then go on to a full- scale cooperative program of Science for Peace?
5050	If that were done to what consequences might it not lead?
5050	If the States feel themselves competent to these objects why should this Government wish to assume the power?
5050	If the charge be incapacity, what evidence will support it?
5050	If the existing system be a good one why should it not be extended?
5050	If the officer be accused of dishonesty, how shall it be made out?
5050	If, then, for a common object this property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge?
5050	If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon?
5050	In all this, if any aggression there were, any innovation upon preexisting rights, to which portion of the Union are they justly chargeable?
5050	In the meantime may I make this suggestion?
5050	In the meantime, who can foretell what would be the sufferings and privations of the people during its existence?
5050	Institutions for promoting it grow up supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety?
5050	Institutions for promoting it grow up, supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety?
5050	Is it contemplated to open a new negotiation respecting any of the articles or conditions of the treaty?
5050	Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity and perpetuate both indefinitely?
5050	Is it doubted that we here-- Congress and Executive can secure its adoption?
5050	Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood?
5050	Is it indeed true that we have heretofore refrained from doing so merely from the degrading motive of a conscious weakness?
5050	Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage?
5050	Is it less fertile?
5050	Is it meant that we are not ready upon brief notice to put a nation in the field, a nation of men trained to arms?
5050	Is it more afflicting to him to leave the graves of his fathers than it is to our brothers and children?
5050	Is it not advisable to provide some measure of equitable retaliation in our relations with governments which discriminate against our own?
5050	Is it not by bearing them in affectionate remembrance?
5050	Is it not the better rule to leave all these works to private enterprise, regulated and, when expedient, aided by the cooperation of States?
5050	Is it objected that it is proposed to authorize the agencies to deal in bills of exchange?
5050	Is it paid for?
5050	Is it possible that such a country as this can be given up to anarchy and ruin without an effort from any quarter for its rescue and its safety?
5050	Is it to be conceived that such immense powers would have been left by the framers of the Constitution to mere inferences and doubtful constructions?
5050	Is it true, then, that colored people can displace any more white labor by being free than by remaining slaves?
5050	Is there any other way practicable under existing law?
5050	Is there anyone in this Chamber tonight who doubts that the course of freedom was not changed for the better because of the courage of that stand?
5050	Is there not a disposition on one side to magnify wrongs and outrages, and on the other side to belittle them or justify them?
5050	It is not"Can any of us imagine better?"
5050	It may be asked, then, Are the people of the States without redress against the tyranny and oppression of the Federal Government?
5050	It shall lead us as we enter the third century of the search for a more perfect union?
5050	Many people ask,"When will this war end?"
5050	May I not say a special word about the needs of Belgium and northern France?
5050	May I not urge its early and favorable consideration by the House of Representatives and its early enactment into law?
5050	May he not be tempted to name his reward?
5050	May not all reasonable desires upon this subject be satisfied without encountering any of these objections?
5050	Must he forbear his complaint until the mischief is done and can not be prevented?
5050	Must they wait until the mischief has been done, and can they apply the remedy only when it is too late?
5050	My tests for our proposals will be: Will it create jobs and raise incomes?
5050	Need I recall either the scene or the national circumstances attending the occasion?
5050	Nevertheless, is it prudent or is it wise to involve ourselves in these foreign wars?
5050	Not, is there abundance enough for all?--but, how can all share in our abundance?
5050	Now go and hoe your own row?"
5050	Now why should Americans be concerned about this?
5050	Now, why?
5050	Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,"Can we do better?"
5050	Or will it come about by negotiated and fair solutions, ensuring majority rule, minority rights, and economic advance?
5050	Or will it continue to expand its military power far beyond its genuine security needs, and use that power for colonial conquest?
5050	Or would we let it be submerged, wiped out, in post- war riots and reaction, as after World War I?
5050	Ought our country to remain in such cases dependent on foreign supply precarious because liable to be interrupted?
5050	Ought we not then to adopt every measure which may be necessary to perpetuate them?
5050	Our second great goal is to build on America''s pioneer spirit-- I said something funny?
5050	Second, how do we preserve our old and enduring values as we move into the future?
5050	Shall he in the meantime risk the character and interest of the nation in the hands of men to whom he can not give his confidence?
5050	Shall it lie unproductive in the public vaults?
5050	Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe?
5050	Shall the dissimilarity of the domestic institutions in the different States prevent us from providing for them suitable governments?
5050	Shall the revenue be reduced?
5050	Shall we abandon the reasonable support and regulation of banking?
5050	Shall we act by taking the ceded territory and proceeding to execute the other conditions of the treaty before this minister arrives and is heard?
5050	Shall we hold it as a province and govern it by despotic power?
5050	Shall we refuse them?
5050	Shall we restore the dollar to its former gold content?
5050	Shall we say that values are restored and that the Congress will, therefore, repeal the laws under which we have been bringing them back?
5050	Shall we say to the unemployed and the aged,"Social security lies not within the province of the Federal Government; you must seek relief elsewhere?"
5050	Shall we suppress the impost and give that advantage to foreign over domestic manufactures?
5050	Should other methods be adopted which will increase the revenues or diminish the expenses of the postal service?
5050	Should the number of post routes be diminished?
5050	Should the postal service be reduced by excluding from the mails matter which does not pay its way?
5050	Should war break out in any of those countries who can foretell the extent to which it may be carried or the desolation which it may spread?
5050	Should we cut the deficit more?
5050	Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?
5050	So who among us will set this example?
5050	Suppose such a war should result in the conquest of a State; how are we to govern it afterwards?
5050	Surprised you, did n''t I?
5050	That is your affair?"
5050	That was encouraging, you know?
5050	The magic of opportunity-- unreserved, unfailing, unrestrained-- isn''t this the calling that unites us?
5050	The only test of a plan is, It is sound and will it work?
5050	The profound question is: Does this mean we will be 50 percent richer in a real sense, 50 percent better off, 50 percent happier?
5050	The question is not what should we undo?
5050	The title of a best- selling book asked:"America: What went wrong?"
5050	Third, what comfort can we take from the increasing strains and tensions within the Communist bloc?
5050	To defend ourselves against attack?
5050	To what sources, then, shall we turn?
5050	To what then do we owe these blessings?
5050	Today, having come far in our own historical journey, we must decide: Will we turn back, or finish well?
5050	Tonight, my fellow Americans, we are summoned to answer a question as old as the republic itself, what is the state of our union?
5050	V. Second, what of the developing and non- aligned nations?
5050	We ask now, not how can we achieve abundance?--but how shall we use our abundance?
5050	We have the resources, but are we fully ready to use them?
5050	Well, if this is true, why is the Constitution of the United States so exceptional?
5050	Well, let us rather ask them: Who will they sacrifice?
5050	Were those States afterwards expelled from the Union by the war?
5050	Were we prepared, in peacetime, to keep on moving toward full realization of the democratic promise?
5050	What are these tasks?
5050	What are we to do about it?
5050	What brought America back?
5050	What does it mean?
5050	What does that mean?
5050	What faith can an Executive put in officials forced upon him, and those, too, whom he has suspended for reason?
5050	What has all this money done?
5050	What has been the consequence?
5050	What have these steps been?
5050	What interest of hers was affected by the treaty?
5050	What is meant by being prepared?
5050	What is the voice of history?
5050	What kind of society, what kind of world are we building for them?
5050	What principle of good faith, then, was violated?
5050	What rule of political morals trampled under foot?
5050	What shall we do, then, to push this great war of freedom and justice to its righteous conclusion?
5050	What should we do with this projected surplus?
5050	What then shall be done?
5050	What we have to do in our day and generation to make sure that America truly becomes one nation, what do we have to do?
5050	What were the terms of that new relationship?
5050	What, in the meantime, is the responsibility and true position of the Executive?
5050	What, then, of the future?
5050	When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot?
5050	When did they cease to be so?
5050	When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?
5050	When is that equality of influence which our form of government was intended to secure to the electors to be restored?
5050	When sectional agitators shall have succeeded in forcing on this issue, can their pretensions fail to be met by counter pretensions?
5050	Where in any part of the globe can institutions be found so suited to their habits or so entitled to their love as their own free Constitution?
5050	Where in past history does a parallel exist to the public happiness which is within the reach of the people of the United States?
5050	Where will you begin and where end?
5050	Which of our citizens will lead us in this next American century?
5050	Who does not appreciate the incalculable benefits of the acquisition of Louisiana?
5050	Who would rejoice to hail Texas as a lone star instead of one in the galaxy of States?
5050	Who would say that this age of possibility is not for all Americans?
5050	Who would say that, having come so far together, we will not go forward from here?
5050	Who would wish to see Florida still a European colony?
5050	Why are we there?
5050	Why ca n''t we?
5050	Why did men come to that once forbidding land?
5050	Why do we want guaranteed private insurance?
5050	Why is it that we can build a nation with our prayers, but we ca n''t use a schoolroom for voluntary prayer?
5050	Why may not our country at some time average as many?
5050	Why not try it?
5050	Why should it be on this?
5050	Why should we ignore it now?
5050	Why, then, this restlessness?
5050	Why?
5050	Why?
5050	Will a strong and united America still be a force for freedom and prosperity around the world?
5050	Will change come about by warfare and chaos and foreign intervention?
5050	Will it build the middle class and shrink the underclass?
5050	Will it strengthen our families and support our children?
5050	Will liberation make them any more numerous?
5050	Will not different States be compelled, respectively, to meet extremes with extremes?
5050	Will not the good people respond to a united and earnest appeal from us?
5050	Will our children enjoy a better quality of life?
5050	Will the commercial nations of the world, which have so many interests connected with it, remain wholly indifferent to such a result?
5050	Will they sacrifice opportunity for the distressed, the beauty of our land, the hope of our poor?
5050	Will we in this country adapt our thinking to these new prospects and patterns-- or will we wait until events have passed us by?
5050	Will we ourselves be at peace?
5050	Will you join me now, and we''ll walk this last mile together?
5050	Within those other Nations-- those which today must bear the primary, definite responsibility for jeopardizing world peace-- what hope lies?
5050	Would any single measure be so effective in removing all plausible grounds for these intrusions as the graduation of price already suggested?
5050	Would it not be just as honest and prudent to authorize each debtor to issue his own legal- tenders to the extent of his liabilities?
5050	Would not the general loss be too great to justify such relief?
5050	Would such a trust and power be safe in such hands?
5050	Would the American economy collapse, after the war?
5050	Would the people of Maine permit the Penobscot tribe to erect an independent government within their State?
5050	Would there be another depression here-- a repetition of 1921 or 1929?
5050	Would they not be as reasonable and useful where the enterprise preparing is against the United States?
5050	Would you four stand up for a moment?
5050	but"Can we all do better?"
5050	but"Will change bring progress for America?"
