Not
at
all
.
I
speak
in
all
seriousness
.
You
still
believe
in
equality
,
and
yet
you
do
the
work
of
the
corporations
,
and
the
corporations
,
from
day
to
day
,
are
busily
engaged
in
burying
equality
.
And
you
call
me
a
socialist
because
I
deny
equality
,
because
I
affirm
just
what
you
live
up
to
.
The
Republicans
are
foes
to
equality
,
though
most
of
them
fight
the
battle
against
equality
with
the
very
word
itself
the
slogan
on
their
lips
.
In
the
name
of
equality
they
destroy
equality
.
That
was
why
I
called
them
stupid
.
As
for
myself
,
I
am
an
individualist
.
I
believe
the
race
is
to
the
swift
,
the
battle
to
the
strong
.
Such
is
the
lesson
I
have
learned
from
biology
,
or
at
least
think
I
have
learned
.
As
I
said
,
I
am
an
individualist
,
and
individualism
is
the
hereditary
and
eternal
foe
of
socialism
.
"
"
But
you
frequent
socialist
meetings
,
"
Mr
.
Morse
challenged
.
"
Certainly
,
just
as
spies
frequent
hostile
camps
.
How
else
are
you
to
learn
about
the
enemy
?
Besides
,
I
enjoy
myself
at
their
meetings
.
They
are
good
fighters
,
and
,
right
or
wrong
,
they
have
read
the
books
.
Any
one
of
them
knows
far
more
about
sociology
and
all
the
other
ologies
than
the
average
captain
of
industry
.
Yes
,
I
have
been
to
half
a
dozen
of
their
meetings
,
but
that
doesn
’
t
make
me
a
socialist
any
more
than
hearing
Charley
Hapgood
orate
made
me
a
Republican
.
"
"
I
can
’
t
help
it
,
"
Mr
.
Morse
said
feebly
,
"
but
I
still
believe
you
incline
that
way
.
"
Bless
me
,
Martin
thought
to
himself
,
he
doesn
’
t
know
what
I
was
talking
about
.
He
hasn
’
t
understood
a
word
of
it
.
What
did
he
do
with
his
education
,
anyway
?
Thus
,
in
his
development
,
Martin
found
himself
face
to
face
with
economic
morality
,
or
the
morality
of
class
;
and
soon
it
became
to
him
a
grisly
monster
.
Personally
,
he
was
an
intellectual
moralist
,
and
more
offending
to
him
than
platitudinous
pomposity
was
the
morality
of
those
about
him
,
which
was
a
curious
hotchpotch
of
the
economic
,
the
metaphysical
,
the
sentimental
,
and
the
imitative
.
A
sample
of
this
curious
messy
mixture
he
encountered
nearer
home
.
His
sister
Marian
had
been
keeping
company
with
an
industrious
young
mechanic
,
of
German
extraction
,
who
,
after
thoroughly
learning
the
trade
,
had
set
up
for
himself
in
a
bicycle
-
repair
shop
.
Also
,
having
got
the
agency
for
a
low
-
grade
make
of
wheel
,
he
was
prosperous
.
Marian
had
called
on
Martin
in
his
room
a
short
time
before
to
announce
her
engagement
,
during
which
visit
she
had
playfully
inspected
Martin
’
s
palm
and
told
his
fortune
.
On
her
next
visit
she
brought
Hermann
von
Schmidt
along
with
her
.
Martin
did
the
honors
and
congratulated
both
of
them
in
language
so
easy
and
graceful
as
to
affect
disagreeably
the
peasant
-
mind
of
his
sister
’
s
lover
.
This
bad
impression
was
further
heightened
by
Martin
’
s
reading
aloud
the
half
-
dozen
stanzas
of
verse
with
which
he
had
commemorated
Marian
’
s
previous
visit
.
It
was
a
bit
of
society
verse
,
airy
and
delicate
,
which
he
had
named
"
The
Palmist
.
"
He
was
surprised
,
when
he
finished
reading
it
,
to
note
no
enjoyment
in
his
sister
’
s
face
.
Instead
,
her
eyes
were
fixed
anxiously
upon
her
betrothed
,
and
Martin
,
following
her
gaze
,
saw
spread
on
that
worthy
’
s
asymmetrical
features
nothing
but
black
and
sullen
disapproval
.
The
incident
passed
over
,
they
made
an
early
departure
,
and
Martin
forgot
all
about
it
,
though
for
the
moment
he
had
been
puzzled
that
any
woman
,
even
of
the
working
class
,
should
not
have
been
flattered
and
delighted
by
having
poetry
written
about
her
.
Several
evenings
later
Marian
again
visited
him
,
this
time
alone
.
Nor
did
she
waste
time
in
coming
to
the
point
,
upbraiding
him
sorrowfully
for
what
he
had
done
.
"
Why
,
Marian
,
"
he
chided
,
"
you
talk
as
though
you
were
ashamed
of
your
relatives
,
or
of
your
brother
at
any
rate
.
