...credit with the conservative citizen for refusing to "endorse" Russian Bolshevism, but it adopts Sovietism in principle when it pledges its moral support to the striking Boston policemen, puts upon Commissioner Curtis the responsibility for the crimes which that strike precipitated, and in remarkably vapid words declares that the righteous public rebuke of the strike "is but one more sacrifice in the human struggle against autocracy, injustice and wrong, out of which had grown a better and a brighter day for their successors and fellow-workers."

Instead of impotently denying the materialistic strain in the individual's life and thus breeding hypocrisy or scoffing, let us recognize the economic basis and utilize this recognition for such a broadening as will give the whole people a square...
