est, it is a question, after all, whether we are really more
upright than our fathers, who sometimes engaged in transactions that are
condemned by modern society, but who, on the other hand, knew nothing of
"defaulted" railroad bonds, of "wild cat" oil companies, or of "watered"
mining stocks. It is easy enough to

"Compound for sins [we] are inclined to,
By damning those [we] have no mind to."
