EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY

The socialist dream that laws can make all men equal
founded misntepretation of the constitution that
all shall be free and equal overlooking the fact that
referred to political status.
To give all men equal opportunities before the law
under the constitution the highest concept of the
founders of this government but it was dreamed
by them that this referred to material conditions
To fail to take into account individual selshness and
the natural weaknesses Of the undeveoped individual
say nothing of natural talent and naturaborn cussed
ness and ineffciency would seem to be pure folly.
Al government do is to give each member of So
ciety an equal chance but it cannot make that individual
take and make the most of it. It cannot make
women WISE frugal, Industrious or intelligent.
The false un-Amercan hypocrital Interpretation of
the constitution that laws make all equal would
destroy all individual values and only make all men equal
by making all men cyphers under autocracy.
