Theodore Roosevelt: in a speech at the State Fair, Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 3, 1901. Footnote 320: “If the public economy of a people be an organism, we must expect to find that the perturbations, which affect it, present some analogies to the diseases of the body physical. We may, therefore, hope to learn much that may be of use in practice, from the tried methods of medicine.” Roscher: _Political Economy_, Vol. I., pp. 85–86. Footnote 321: It must be added for the sake of clearness (and fairness): (1) That _some_ members of the capitalist class detest the capitalist system; that these regret their unsocial relation to the social body; and that while they are living under the capitalist system they are in somewhat the same difficulty that a democrat is in Russia. One can _believe_ in democracy in Russia, but he can not _practice_ democracy under the autocratic form of Russian government. So under Capitalism: one may believe in industrial democracy, but he cannot practice it under an industrial despotism. (2) That some members of present society belong partly to the capitalist class and partly to the working class. (_The Theory of the Leisure Class_, a brilliant book by Dr. Thorstein Veblen, helpful in understanding social parasites, is urged upon the reader’s attention. Also W. J. Ghent’s _Mass and Class_.) Footnote 322: “The government which has the right to do an act and has imposed upon it the duty of performing the act, must, according to the dictates of reason, be permitted to select the means.”—Supreme Court of the United States, March 7, 1819. See Supreme Court Reports, Vol. 17, pp. 409, 430. Footnote 323: _Political Science and Constitutional Law_, Vol. I., p. 87. Footnote 324: _Sociology_, pp. 45, 47. Footnote 325: “It is the peculiarity of the social struggle that it must be conducted by a collective whole ... EVERY SOCIETY [OR CLASS] MUST SECURE SOME SUITABLE ORGAN FOR CONDUCTING THE SOCIAL STRUGGLE. “Thus the ruling classes, through their parliaments, exercise the legislative power and are able, by legal institutions, to further their interests at the cost of others.... Thus the rulers themselves forge the weapons with which the ruled and powerless classes successfully attack them and complete the natural process.”—Gumplowitz: _Outlines of Sociology_, pp. 145–146. Italics mine. G. R. K. Footnote 326: _The Communist Manifesto._ Footnote 327: Reread Chapter Seven, Section 4. Footnote 328: Fearing that the powerful suggestion might reach and rouse the slumbering working class the _capitalist_ press of the world kept silent as an oyster on the behavior of the clear-visioned soldiers of Norway and Sweden. Only the _working_-class press properly reported the sublime event. (See Challenge, page 206 et seq.) Footnote 329:
