Why, then, the complaints of the liberals, the democrats, and the progressives of thirty years ago? Or is it that, like children, they want something, but not its consequences? You want the ordinary man to be master. Well, do not be surprised if he acts for himself, if he demands all forms of enjoyment, if he firmly asserts his will, if he refuses all kinds: of service, if he ceases to be docile to anyone, if he considers his own person and his own leisure, if he is careful as to his attire: these are some of the attributes perennially attached to the consciousness of mastership.
