"If we could afford to preserve an opera-bouffe political system, in which everything was taken in the spirit of Strauss' 'Fledermaus,' I should be the last person to oppose anything which could add so materially to the humor of it as our type of amateurism in government.......But if death, torture and misery are not laughing matters, then neither is political life in these times; for death, torture and misery have become the penalties of political failure."
