Its attitude, which it has preached and practiced, is skepticism. Now, it finds, the public is applying that skepticism to the press.

The real reason why so few men believe in God is that they have ceased to believe that even a God can love them.

Skepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.

When you play soft and loose with the district's money when it comes to yourself, you rightly see skepticism when it comes to not having the money for the lowest-paid workers in the district.
