1091 system of industry, a certain type of labor leader joined forces with the politicians
1092 and offered to deliver voters in return for legislation designed to permit men to
1093 TAKE RICHES AWAY FROM INDUSTRY BY ORGANIZED FORCE OF
1094 NUMBERS, INSTEAD OF THE BETTER METHOD OF GIVING A FAIR
1095 DAY'S WORK FOR A FAIR DAY'S PAY.
1096 Millions of men and women throughout the nation are still engaged in this
1097 popular pastime of trying to GET without GIVING. Some of them are lined up
1098 with labor unions, where they demand SHORTER HOURS AND MORE PAY!
1099 Others do not take the trouble to work at all. THEY DEMAND
1100 GOVERNMENT RELIEF AND ARE GETTING IT. Their idea of their rights

1110 passing of laws which permit the raiding of the public treasury, you may rest

1112 because THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY WHERE EVERY MAN MAY THINK
1113 AS HE PLEASES, where nearly everybody can live with but little effort, where
1114 many may live well without doing any work whatsoever.
1115 However, you should know the full truth concerning this FREEDOM of which
1116 so many people boast, and so few understand. As great as it is, as far as it
1117 reaches, as many privileges as it provides, IT DOES NOT, AND CANNOT
1118 BRING RICHES WITHOUT EFFORT.
1119 There is but one dependable method of accumulating, and legally holding riches,
1120 and that is by rendering useful service. No system has ever been created by
