Excerpt from The Land Retort: A Study of the Land Question With an Answer to the Report of the Secret Enquiry Committee You may fool some of the people all the time, and you may fool all the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. Many are still led away by facile orators, whether on the platform or in the press, and the fog these create is only slowly dispersed by the less attractive power of clear thinking. Some have the wisdom of the serpent, and charm with the ulterior motive of self-advantage others, foolish, but well intentioned, play on a note of hopeless optimism. The effect is very much the same.
