The Foe Within
In our battle for justice we must realize that there are thousands of traitors within our own ranks—men and women who, having mortgaged their own craven souls to our enemies, are willing and anxious to sell out our group for a mess of pottage. In myriads of instances they have already done so. Many of these beings are like moles which burrow beneath the surface, and they have by their pernicious activities placed the entire structure of our rights in peril. The vilest, cruelest, most brutal, craftiest, most venomous, and most cold-blooded outspoken enemy is far less dangerous than the vile, crafty, slinking, snake-like burrowing foe within!
