It has no pity. It responds to no touch for community better¬ ment. Its heart never pulsates with patriotic home ties We must lake fr.im these monopolies the sinews o! great power and limit their fleld of exploitat.on or the dream of those wiio have preceeded us of having built great communities and c:;- ie? will be entirely shatteied and the flne flowers of dustinctive community life will g> to seed."
