 who are not prosperous, whose maxim is ''the world owes me a lvl1g,' who find fault with the prosperous for their pros
 perity and with the government that protects each man in the enjoyment of
 his own honestly acquired accumula- tions, who insist that the soil-the prima- " source os all our wealth should not be the subject Oi irdiv.dua! OWnersbIp, but should be parc-llcd olt equally among
