popular passion, and most certainly no
public servant, whatever may be the
consequences to himself, should yield
to what he thinks wrong. But In a
question which Is emphatically one OF
public policy, the policy which the pub
lie demands is sure In the end to be
adopted, and a persistent refusal to
grant to large portion Of our people
what is right is only too apt in the
end to result in causing such irritation
that when the right is obtained it is
obtained in the course of movement
accompanied by much that is wrong.
The process of injunction In labor
disputes as well as where state laws
are involved should be used sparingly
and only when there is the clearest ne
cessity for it. But 1t is one so neces-
sary to the efficient performance of
duty by the court on behalf of the ma
ton that it is In the highest degree TO
be regretted that it should be liable to
reckless use, for this reckless use tends
to make honest men desire SO to ham
per its execution as to destroy Its use
fulness.
"Class Consciousness" Evil,
Every farsighted patriot should pro-
test first Of all against the growth In
this country Of that evil thing which
is called class consciousness. The
demagogue, the sinister or foolish So
clalist visionary who strives to arouse
this feeling Of class consciousness in
our working people does a foul and
evil thing, for he is no true American,
he Is no self respecting citizen Of this
republic He forfeits his right to stand
with manly self reliance on footing
of entire equality with all other citl-
Eens, who bows TO envy and greed,
who erects the doctrine of class hatred
into a shibboleth, who substitutes 10y
atty TO men Of particular status,
whether rich or poor, for loyalty to
those eternal and immutable princi-
pies of righteousness which bid US
treat each man on his worth as a man
without regard to his wealth or his
poverty.
But evil though the influence Of these
demagogues and Missionaries il, 1t Is no
worse In its consequences than the in
fiuence exercised by the man Of great
wealth Or the man Of power and posi-
ton in the Industrial world who by his
lack Of sympathy with and lack OF un.
Outstanding OF, still more by any ex.
hIbit4on Of uncompromising hostility
To, the millions of our working people,
tends to unite them against their fell
low Americans who are better off In
this worlds goods. II IL bad thing
TO teach our working people that men
OF means, that men who have the lar
gest proportion Of the substantial COM
forts of life are necessarily greedy,
grasping and cold hearted and that
they unjustly demand and appropriate
more than their share Of the substance
of the many. Stern condemnation
should be visited upon demagogue and
visionary who teach this untruth, and
even sterner upon those capitalists
who are in truth grasping and greedy
and brutality disregardful of the rights
of others and who by their actions
teach the dreadful lesson far more eff
fectively than any mere preacher of
unrest. A "class grievance" left too
long without remedy breeds "class
consciousness and therefore class re
sentiment,
Strengthening Of Antitrust Law.
The strengthening of the antitrust
law is demanded upon both moral and
grounds. Our purpose in
strengthening 1t is to secure more ef-
fective control BY the national govern
ment over the business use Of the vast
Of individual, and especially Of |
corporate wealth, which at the present
time monopolize most of the interstate |
business Of the country. and we. be-
