a constant fight between the in

lawless, the right and tne wrong.
The interests of the masses, the
law, the right mu6t always be
fought for. The selfishness of the
classes, the lawless, the false, the
wrong must be fought against.
It ia not enough to be merely
against the wrong; the people must
be aggressively against it.
