not enough to be merely honest, the
good citizen should be aggressive in
his opposition to graft and corrup
tion. Law breakers have nothing to
fear from passive opposition, but they
must yield to active and aggressive
fighters. We need more fighters in the
army of peace. We must fight for e
erythlng that is worth having, we
must fight against everything bad.
j The farmer must not only be person
ally opposed to weeds, but he must
cut them down and make an active
welfare against them, or his crops
will be ruined. In governmental af
fairs the same relations exist ' be

own accord anywhere, A government
neglected will no more become good
than a neglected field will grow corn
and wheat.
"There are-no 'necessary evils' In
government. It ia the abuses of gov
ernment about which all good citizens
have a right to complain. Those who
have ' prof lted about the abuses are
usually the loudest In the denuncia
tion of those who point out abuses in
public affairs. ,
"Civic evils, cannot exist where the
public conscience is aroused. Nearly
all public wrongs grow out of the in
difference of the people. The expos
ures recently brought about in differ
ent places would have come years ago
if the people had been aroused to a
true understanding of the situation.
Had the people been alert and had
they taken as much Interest in mun
icipal affairs as they would have ta
ken in a corporation In which they
were stockholders, the disgraceful
conditions would never have existed.
; "Much has been done for good gov
ernment during the past few yean.
But we should not be content with
what has been accomplished In the
fight against public evils. There i
, plenty of work yet to be done. States
like men, should never be satisfied,
but should ever strive for a higher de
velopment. The man who is so self
satisfied as to pronounce himself un
deslrous of further Improvement s
likely to be most in need of advance
ment. "The future of our government
rests upon the Integrity of the citi
zens and upon the activity In public
affairs. Good government must begin
at home, In cities and towns and pro
ceed from there to state and nation.
This government rests not on the
wealth of a few, but upon the charac
ter and integrity of the average In
dividual. - :
"A government is good as the av
erage morality of the average Indi
vidual is progressive, and a govern
ment is bad in proportion as the av
erage morality is low and legarthic.
When good citizens attend to their
civic duties, their civic energy Is rep-
resented In good officals. When the-'
are careless their slothfulness Is rep
resented by corrupt officials.
"The character of government de
pends entirely upon the will of the
majorjty, and no government is be:
ter than a majority of Its voters. If
each individual were to give his "at
tention to the public business as his
own, which it is after all, every good
official would have behind hlra the
aggressive morality of his constitu
ents, and this would confront every
bad official and say to him, 'No fur
ther shalt thou go.'
"To arouse good citizens and make
them realize their civic duties is a
matter of Bupreme Importance. In a
monarchy all authority " ts In the
crown, -and delegated, to those be
neath. In a republic such as ours, the
people are sovereign.
"Each man is one seventy-five mil
lionth of a sovereign. It may seem
small, but It marks the' distinction be
tween the citizen and the subject. 1
Some of you may think if the gov
ernment were lerr entirely to you,
public evils would not exist. But you
have a portion of the responsibility
now. If you are unfaithful In part.
