To us, the results of this quiz seem to show that they are guilty of something far less excusable. We fear that they have been reading the war news, but have made no effort to understand it.

It proceeds by demanding an elimination of all graft, and an unlimited appropriation for educating alike the thousands who dig ditches and the scores who direct corporations. The author advocates "some good way of combining democratic distribution with efficient production in our great industries," failing completely...
