The , issue is joiued. and we must fight or fail. In «very wise struggle for human betterment one of the main objects, and often the only object, has been to achieve In larger measure equality of oppoitunity. In the struggle for this greui «nd, nations rise from bar barism to civilization. and through it people press forward from one stage of enlightenment to the next. One of tho chief factors in progress is the doHtructlon of sp«'lal privilege. The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty has always been and must al ways be to tako from som«» one man or c I ush of men tho right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or Im munity, which has not been earned by service to his or thoir fellows. At ninny stages in the advance of humanity this conflict between the men who posseaa more thnn thoy have earned and the men who have earned more thnn thoy possess is the centra! condition of progress. In our day it appears ah the struggle of free men to ' gain nnd hold th«* right of self-govern ment as against the special intereats, who twist the methods of free gov ernment Into machinery for defeating th«1 popular will. At every stag«' and under all circumstances the essence of th«> struggle is to equalise opportun ity, d««stroy privilege nnd give to the life and citlxenahtp of every Individ ual tho highest possible value both to himself nnd to the commonwealth.
