All in the Day's Work: An Autobiography

“The town is going to the Devil, and the worst of it is nobody will admit it. You won't. You sit there and smile at me, as if you didn't mind having Jake Mulligan and Reub Cowder pry open ballot boxes. You know those two birds are robbing this village every hour of the day. Nobody with pep enough to sit up and fight 'em. Rotten selfishness, that's what ails this town. People getting rich here and spending their money in the city. Women won't even buy their hats here—starving the stores. Can't support a decent theater—don't bring a good singer once a year. Everybody goes to the city, and we have to feed on movies.
