' ' "But eomparlr.fr men purely as animal ani-mal matter, the laborer la an inferior animal. A hundred years ago H wts believed that all men wera created equal; that theory waa all in the air. Thus we have come habitually to underestimate under-estimate the fact fact, I aay that some men, aa some animals, art inferior infe-rior t others. "This diSTertnoe xlata in all animals. "W'e se it in the breed-ing- of horses and dogs, especially whera men value the animal according to the . blood, or stock from which it sprlr-rs. Some horses are worth 3, while others S ' are good for hundreds, and only blooi 1 and birth makes the difference. 1 "lEue Blood" Connta.
