Text Appearing Before Image: the present hour demand that we frankly face the socialproblems as they are and honestly discuss them in all their bearings.That we call to witness the impressive lessons of history and if possible,avert the repetition of the cataclysms of the past by prompt measures,marked by wisdom and justice. It is not too late to prevent a revolu-tion of force if wealth and power will heed the cry of want and weakness;if justice, courage, and duty supplant self-interest and indifference inthe hearts of those who see and feel the rising tide of angry discontent.To-day if we would demonstrate that a century of civilization and freegovernment has lifted us to a higher ethical level than humanity had at-tained a hundred years ago, we must face conditions as they are andpromptly adopt measures that will secure such a meed of justice for theweak as shall take from his heart the bitterness of injustice and estab-lish a feeling of common brotherhood and good-will.
