"Man is born into the universe with a person- ality that is his own. He has a right that is founded upon the constitution of the universe, to have property that is his own. Ultimately, prop- erty rights and personal rights are the same thing. The one cannot be preserved if the other be violated. Each man is entitled to his rights and the rewards of his service, be they never so large or never so small. " And again, in his speech to the Amherst alumni: "As a result of criticizing these condition...s (the distribution of wealth) there has grown up a too- well-developed public opinion along two lines; one, that the men engaged in great affairs are selfish and greedy and not to be trusted, that busi- ness activity is not moral and the whole system is to be condemned, and the other, that work is a curse to man, and that working hours ought to be as short as possible, or in some way abol- ished. * * * "I agree that the measure of success is not merchandise, but character. But I do criticize those sentiments, held in all too respectable quarters, that our economic system is fundamen- tally wrong, that commerce is only selfishness, and that our citizens, holding the hope of all that America means, are living in industrial slavery.
