| Description | Cartoon shows the Three Musketeers (from Alexandre Dumas's famous novel of the same name) standing on ground labled "The Constitution." One holds a sign reading "Free Assemblage," one a quill pen labled "Free Press," and one a megaphone reading "Free Speech." In the novel, the swashbuckling heroes defend the Queen of France against the evil machinations of Cardinal Richelieu. Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes used this story in a speech in April 1935 in which he attacked demagogues and naive visionaries, but defended their rights to express their views. He called freedom of the press, speech, and assemblage "the three musketeers of our constitutional forces." |
