I can imagine no greater disservice to the country than to establish a system of censorship that would deny to the people of a free republic like our own their indisputable right to criticise their own public officials. While exercising the great powers of the office I hold, I would regret in a crisis like the one through which we are now passing to lose the benefit of patriotic and intelligent criticism.
WOODROW WILSON, letter to Arthur Brisbane, Apr. 25, 1917
There was a time when corporations played a minor part in our business affairs, but now they play the chief part, and most men are the servants of corporations.
WOODROW WILSON, "The Old Order Changeth," The New Freedom
