The newspaper that obstructs the law on a trivial pretext, for money's sake, is a dangerous enemy to the public weal. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse.

Romans 1:22:
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
(NIV)
Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].
(AMP)
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(KJV)

For passion, be it observed, brings insight with it; it can give a sort of intelligence to simpletons, fools, and idiots, especially during youth.
