...made man, was the thing itself. He stayed in his part, and he never failed to make his points carry. As the sheriff in the burlesque he was even better, and his complete change of voice, method and manner, proved that his genuineness in the other role had been skill and not accident.

This shows that the essential feature of the production of wealth is not labor, as the socialists claim, but rather the ability...
