ing. Most important OF all, a regard
for our own welfare and the welfare
of our children demands that we build
well. No longer is it disputed that
all men are created equal. That prin-
ciple is established But new and
complex conditions have arisen since
1916. Not only have we now to rec
ognize the abstract principle of hui
man equality, but it is incumbent
upon us to take special pains in see
ing TO it that every man is protected
in his right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. The life and the
liberty of the citizen are safely secure.
But how about his pursuit of happi-
to be happy. 1t is the duty of the
state, in conserving his happiness, to
secure to him the fruits of his honest
labor. 1t is the duty of the state to
secure to him an equal opportunity
with all men. 1t is the duty of the
state, moreover-it has become the
duty. as the people are coming to see
ito take care that, having this equal
opportunity, he does not abuse it.
Herein comes the compleXity of our
modern society. Equal opportunity
must not be translated into special
privilege" The restraining hand of
the state, while protecting the weak
and the lowly, must hold in leash
the strong, lest the basic principles
of liberty be subverted to the unjust
protection of the powerful To raise
the weak and curb the great has be-
come the first duty of the statesmen
of this republic.
This modern doctrine is Indignantly
repudiated by many good citizens.
They hold that if the spirit of the
fathers is to be followed-that if citi-
zens are to have equal opportunities
there must be no, restraint Of the indi-
vidual in his management of his af-
fairs, no matter how vast they may
be. But they are wrong. One of the
cry primary objects of organized soci-
ETY. is the restraint of the powerful.
Back in the days of our savage an
cestors, organized society had its
crude beginning because it was found
necessary to protect the weak against
the strong. The strong man of those
days was the man of abnormal physi-
cal strength and courage. With his
war club he subdued his weaker fell
lows and took their belongings. The
weaker drew together and organized
for protection, and tribal government
was the result Today society does
not have to deal with the man of
extraordinary physical strength and
selfishness. That problem has been
solved. But organized society of to-
day has to deal with the man of SUI
perlative intellect-the man whose eX-
traordinary mental endowments along
certain lines, with his luck, have en-
abled him to exact tribute from a
large number of his fellows. How 10
deal with him, with even-handed jus
tice to him and to the masses, is one
of our present day problems
