Dille Co. Most Public Men Honest The' inexperienced are pronc to hold an erroneous idea of public life and its methdds. Not long ago I listened to a joint debate in a prom- inent preparatory school. Each side took it for granted that public men were influence only by improper motives and that officials of the gov- ernment were seeking' only their own gain._ and advantage without regard to the welfare of the people. Such a presumption has no foundation in fact. They are dishonest men in public office, There are quacks, shysters, and charlatans among doc- tors, lawyers and clergy, .but they are not representative of their pro- fessions nor indicative of their meth- ods. Our public men, as a. class, are inspired by honorable and pa- triotic motives, desirous only of a faithful cxeeut of t trust from the executive slative b es heir ine states o to the executives ) t bear the dignified and significant title of selectmen. Public must ex- pect criticism and be prepared to_en- dure false charges from their op- ponents. It is a matter of no great concert to them. But public confi- dence in government s a great concern. It cannot be main- tained in the face of such opinions as I have mentioned., It is necessary to differentiate between partisan as- sertions and actual conditions, It is necessary to recognize worth as well as ta condemn graft, No sys- tem of government stand th lacks public confidence and no progs ress can be made on the assumption of a false prom Public adminis- tration is honest and sound, and public husiness is transacted sn a bigher plane than private business w who me What 1 mewhat holding. of the system we have opinion have said relates to the narrow field of office- This is really a small part American system or of James Dryce tells us that a government of public That is growing fo be more true of the governments of the entire world. The first care of despotism scems to be to control the school and the pres: Where the mind s free it turns not to force but to reason for the souree of authority, This leads to the larger and all im- portant field of politics Here we soon see that office-holding s the incidental, but the the standard of citizenship is the essentinl, Gov. crnment does rest upon the opinions Its results rest on their ac- tions, This makes every man a poli- tician whether he will or no. This lays the burden on us all. Men who have had the advantages of liberal culture ought to be the leaders in maintaining the standards of citizen- ship.

A careless in- different representative is the resuit of a careless, indifferent electorate. The people who start to elect a man to get what he can for his district will | probably find they have elected a man who will get what he can for himself. A body will keep on its course for a time after the moving impulse ceases by reason of its momentum. The men who founded our government had fought and thought mightily on the relationship of man to his govern- ment. Our institutions would go for a | time under the momentum they gave. but we should be deluded if we sup- | posed they can be maintained without more of the same stern sacrifice offer- ed in perpetuity. Government is not an edifice that the founders turn over to posterity a!l completed. It is an institution, like a univerfity which fails unless the process of education continues, The state is not founded on selfish- ness, It cannot maintain itself by the offer of material rewards. It is"{if% opportunity for service, There has of late been held out the hope that | government could by legislation re- move from the individual the need of |effort. The managers of industries | have scomed to think that their diffi- culties could be removed and prosper- ity ensued by changing the laws. The | employe has been led to believe that | nis condition could be made easy by the same method. When industries can be carried on without any strug- gle, their results will be worthless, and when wages can be secured with- out any effort they will have no pur- chasing value.
