“Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own.

A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”

“A long time you have been making the trip
From Havre to Hartford, Master Soleil,
Bringing the lights of Norway and all that.”
