H.L. MENCKEN, A Mencken Chrestomathy "No one in this world, so far as I know_and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me_has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people." [This seems likely to be the basis for the quotation often attributed to Mencken: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people."] But the even more prescient Mencken observation was: "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron".
