In the ultimate analysis, I fear
the equal opportunity which those
seek who proclaim the coming of So
called social justice involves forced
division of property, and that means
socialism. In the abuses of the last
two decades it is true that iI1-gotten
wealth has been concentrated in some
undeserving hands, and that if it were
possible to redistribute it on any
equitable principle to those from
whom it was taken without adequate
or proper compensation it would be
good result to bring about. But this
is obviously impossible and impracti-
cable. All that can be done is TO treat
this as one Incidental evil of a great
expansive movement in the material
progress of the world and to make
sure that there will be no recurrence
of such evil. In this regard we have
made great progress and reform, in
respect to secret rebates in railways,
