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. ' !

that the two leaders plucked tbe red

badges of the rival booses of Lancas

centuries famous for their roses.

Conserve the Constitution.
By Former Jud ALTON B. PARKER of New York.
fr-TLE action of the founders in embodying the already estab-
Q lished rights of civil and religious liberty in both federal;
and state constitutions seems to put the matter beyond the !
. reach of either the executive or the legislative or the ju
dicial department of government or all of them acting together.
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."
' THE CONSERVATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONTHAT IS THE
TREMENDOUS DUTY TO WHICH THE GREAT PROFESSION OF THE
LAW IS CALLED, NOW AND EVER. j
