From an October 28, 1908, letter to the NY Times about Teddy Roosevelt: "Moreover, most of the Rooseveltian policies... are in strict harmony with Socialist principles.... The faith of our forefathers in the sacred principle of competition as the self-acting force which yielded ideal justice and rendered to every man according to his deserts, has departed as surely as the belief in witchcraft. [Socialists] can't threaten me worse than Theodore Roosevelt does with his inheritance and income tax schemes and the social workers of New York with their ever-increasing demands on the city budget." (Thanks to Paul Likoudis)
