we must rise with the sun In summer and
before 1t In winter, and work With our hands.
There is no degradation In labor. 1t exalts
the man. It was not dlsesteemed In earlier
days. ONLY in Greece and Rome 1t was de-
spised because the Greeks and Romans owned
slaves. The nation to which we owe 80 much

Men do not like labor. because the worker
ranks below the thinker: That's Democra-
tic feeling. say I'm just as good as any
other man because all men are equal. beg
your pardon, all men are not equal. They
are not equal 10 size. height, glrth; not equal
in virtue; out all men are clvlly equal before
the law. When man says, "Tm just as geod
as any man." 1t may be 30, and 1t may not be
80. When the universal man says 30, lrs q
