Contentment with mediocrity is one of the greatest dangers which" confront successful democracy everywhere. The hope of averting it rests largely with men of SOUND LEGAL EDUCATION Tor this same contentment with mediocrity breeds an impatience with any sort of superiority, a desire to . belittle all excellence, a READINESS TO IMPUTE WRONG MOTIVES . TO ANY THING NOT EASILY UNDERSTOOD, to accept calumny as truth without inquiry and a gradual lessening for advancement, as it is perceived that peace, which is often mistaken for happiness, is alone to be found by accepting contentedly a place in the undistinguished multitude.

What, then, remained to do but ENJOY THE FRUITS OF THE STRUGGLE! j So the people thought and then acted accordingly. They have ! seemed to be and in fact they have been IGNO- j RANT OF THE TRUTO that "eternal vigilance j is the price of liberty" as well AFTER CONSTI-1 TUTTONS ARE MADE AS BEFORE. They ! have failed to appreciate that even this safeguard may be undermined. ; The sense of justice of the American people f toward the great commercial and industrial inter-: ests in point of moral dignity will not permanently remain below the standard of the sick kine of : Bokhara, who said, "Though wo take what we desire, we must not snatch it eagerly."
