Excerpt from The Social Unrest, Vol. 2 of 2: Capital, Labor, and the Public in Turmoil Then, four and a half years in which the whole world bent its uttermost powers to destruction, finding within itself powers far beyond what it had suspected. Finding, too, many other things it had never fully realized, in the vast upheaval, and the necessary tossing overboard of peace-time laws. Finally, a year of trying effort to make a lasting peace to provide practical means by which a lofty ideal of justice between peoples should really operate in a working world, torn, exhausted in pocket and nerves, beginning to clamor with suspicion and egoism.
