But he finds ample compensation in the pleasing exercises of his powers and in the knowledge of being one of that exceptionally privileged class without whom the race would have long ago perished in the bitter struggle against pitiless elements. . . .

Our policies should have the strength of deep analysis beneath them to be able to challenge the clever sophistries of our opponents.
