They are dominated and exploited not only by greedy and often half-witted and half-alive weaklings who will do anything for cigars, champagne, motor cars, and the more childish and selfish uses of money, but by able and sound administrators who can do nothing else with them than dominate and exploit them.
Canada is very rich in her supply of it; but the tonic is too potent for the use of weaklings. Then, too, there were the R.N.W.M.P. influences, representing a concentrated distillation of the same tonic. The traditions of this fine force form a great power for the shaping and making of men. First, they have a strongly testing and selective influence.
The scouts were away with the cavalry. Both troops were now afield. Barely a dozen horses were left at the post, and every able-bodied, ambitious cavalryman was with his comrades on the trail. They who remained were the extra duty men, or the weaklings. Moreover, when Archer spoke of it to Willett, the latter very diplomatically argued against it.
One would think that they had gone into the flesh, at the very spot where they were laid, so quickly have they disappeared. But that dive into a substance of some consistency is impossible to these newborn weaklings. Where are they? I find them more or less everywhere in the creases of the meat; singly and already groping with their mouths.

He was the figure that stood forth representative of the whole miserable mass of weaklings and inefficients who perished according to biological law on the ragged confines of life. They were the unfit. In spite of their cunning philosophy and of their antlike proclivities for cooperation, Nature rejected them for the exceptional man.
Why if you want to do right, be strong or you'll be crushed; and if you want to do wrong, take care again to be strong or you'll be crushed. My moral is, be strong! In this world the good weaklings and the bad weaklings had better lie low, hide in the tall grass. The strong inherit the earth." They were silent a long time, she thinking, he observing her with sad tenderness.
Not a few of us have seen tragedies enough in the course of our pilgrimage, and have learned to regard the doomed weaklings the wreckage of civilisation, the folk who are down with mingled compassion and dismay.
There was not a movement down the line of men. They stood as a cliff looks at the tide. He dared them. He called them cowards women weaklings afraid of blood. But they stood still.

Then he stood still before them all again and wept, because they loved him and he loved them.
