To all these qaestions there is hat one answer—Work. Hard, slavish work. Sweat haa been the philoso pher's stone that haa made the United States the most blessed country on the face of the earth. The men and wo men who cleared oar forests, and re claimed our fields, the men who scoop ed out the mountain sides, leveled our gorges and belted the continent with steel; the men and women who caused cities and factories of a myriad functions to rise phoenix-like from nothing—these all, working 10 and IS hours a day, with no eye on the clock and sweat streaming down their faces, theae made America what aha ia. And thia same hard work with a big W reacted on those pioneers of our country who performed it and made real he-men and she-women oat of them—a race of men and women whoae type of manhood and woman hood haa not been surpasaed since tha world began. H ia true thia aame race of men created machines to lighten their burdens, bat the point ia they were not afraid to sweat They feared nothing but a guilty conscience and the eating of unearned bread.
