| “ I intend to do what little one man can do to awaken the public conscience‚ and in the meantime I am not frightened by your menaces. I am not a giant physically; I shrink from pain and filth and vermin and foul air‚ like any other man of refinement; also‚ I freely admit‚ when I see a line of a hundred policeman with drawn revolvers flung across a street to keep anyone from coming onto private property to hear my feeble voice‚ I am somewhat disturbed in my nerves. But I have a conscience and a religious faith‚ and I know that our liberties were not won without suffering‚ and may be lost again through our cowardice. I intend to do my duty to my country. ” |
