Says Capitalists Hostile.

The great majority Of capitalists,
however, and of the big corpora tlon
lawyers SO intimately connected with
them. are naturally hostile to us.
Their hostility did not surprise me.
Tho men who are most benefited by
privilege, unless they are exception
ally disinterested and far-sight cd arc
not friendly towards those who as
sail privilege. But associated with
them are many men whose selfish in
tcrests In privilege Is far less obvious
J. genuinely regret that we have had
with us SO small a percentage OF the
men for whom life he's been easy,
who belong to or are intimately as
soclated with the lelsured and monled
classes: so small proportion OF
the class which furnishes the bulk
OF the membership In tho larger So
cial. business and professional clubs
and which supplies the majority of
the heads OF our great educational In
stitutlons and Of the men generally
who take the lead In upholding the
cause Of virtue when only the minor
are at Issue. My concern and regret
over their action are not primarily
for our sskes. for the sake of the
people My concern and regret arc
priplerily for these men themselves.

Test of Democracy.

II Is not TO be wondered at that our
opponents have been very bitter, for
the lineup In this crisis is one that
cuts deep to the foundations Of gov
ernment. Our democracy is now put
TO vital test: for the conflict Is
between human rights on the one side
and on tho other special privileges
asserted a property right, Tho
parting OF the ways has come The
Republican party must definitely
stand on one side or the other. II
must stand by deeds and not merely
empty phrases, for the rights of hu-
msnity. or else II must stand for
special privilege. Our opponents are
fond OF calling themselves regular
Republicans. In reality they have
no title TO membership in any party
that is true to the principles or Abra-
ham Lincoln.
They nra fighting for the cause OF
special privilege. and their chief
strength is drawn from the hencri-
ciaiies OF intrenched economic and
social injustice. i do. not in the least
mean that they arc all of them. or
even a majority Of them, influenced
by improper motives any moro than

men in the north who, during the civil

Draws q Line.

The difference between us and our
present day opponents Is as old as
civilized history. In every great crisis
OF the kind We face today We find
arrayed on one side the men who
with tervor and broad sympathy and
lofty idcalism stand for the forward
movement, the men who stand for the
upllft and hcttcrment OF mankind
and who have faith In the people,
aud over against them the mon of
restricted vision and contracted SYM
pathy, whose souls are not stirred by
tho wrongs Of others. Side by side
with the latter appear the other men
who lack all Intensity OF conviction,
who care only for the pleasure OF the
day. and also those other men who
distrust the people. who If dishonest
wish 10 keep the people helpless so
as 10 exploit, them, and who If homes,
so disbelievc in the power or the
people to bring about wholesome re-
form that every appeal TO popular
conscience and popular intelligence
nils them with angry terror. Accord
Ing 10 their own lights. these men are
often very respecta BILE, very worthy.
But they live on q plane Of low ideals.
In the atmosphere they create i'm
posters flourish and leadership comes
to be thought Of only as success in
making money, and the vision OF
heaven becomes a sordid vision and
all that is highest aud purcst i'll hu-
man nature Is laughed at. and hon
esty is bought and sold in the mar
lset place.
Opposed undyinsly to these men
are the men Of faith and vision. the
men in whom love of righteousness
burns like Naming fire. who spurn
lives of soft and selfish ease. OF sloth-
ful self Indulgence, who scorn to
think only of pleasure for themselves
who feel fer and believe in their fell
lows. whose high fcalty is reserved
for all that is good. that is Just, that
is honorable
