PRACTICED TLl. A HCttjft
The Rich Man s Duty
National affaiis have taken that turn where they im
peratively argue ajrainst the retention of our system of
bestowing government honors' upon those wealthy citizens
who have contributed generously to the campaign fund
of the party in power. Had there been no contributions
to the last presidential campaign funds above the line of
suspicion the nation would have been spared the disgrace
of the Teapot Dome and Daughcrty episodes.
, Presidential campaigns are necessarily expensive and
because of ihis the political parties have held no scruples
against accepting, and perhaps even courting, large gii'U
from big business and the rich. . It is very doubtful if
. national campaigns could be continued on the extravagant
. scale of the past should the "social" contributions be for
; bidden. , It has not lieen shown, however, that it wouul
be iinKssiblc to elect n president at loss cost than here
tofore. , Jlost of those who contribute freely disclaim unworthy
i motives, and probably are without them. Hut it is not within
i their power to make their disinterestedness ns clear as uay
, light to everylmdy. They can do it by absolutely refusing
-to Kuliscribe such large sums for use in politics' as ton
many of them have been in the habit of giving in past
I years. They have doubtless thought that they were recog
nizing an obligation to their party, but there is in. reality
; n higher obligation, which rests upon them. It is to tin'
' public; ' " , ' .
Wen of large wealth ought to feel that they have a
special duty to do all that they can 'to maintain confidence
in the purity of our public life and in the intorgrity of our
' frovemment. If anybody suspects a mercenary taint upon
either, much can be done to remove it by lessening the
upparent influence of rich men in political parties. Let
those in possession of great fortunes pass a self-denying
ordinance; let them refuse to turn over money lo a politi
cian just because they have it in plenty and wish to be
known ns good-natured. They have their hands to a large
extent upon the sources of corruption in public life, and
should resolutely do their part in drying them up.

When . 1 started to write this
article I was supposed to confine
jinys.tf to the subject, "Whither
;Are We nrlrllnK?" I went back
j to the time of Christ and Julia
f'nesar lo make foinn comparisons.
T found that President t'oolldo
lind recommended the iloetilne of
freedom of speech and the press
from a mistaken idea that th"
spirit of tin- limes demanded P.
Kveiy expedient has been, tried
In irovernmcnt from the tortures
of the Inquisition to the love
rhrlsl taurrht und practiced. They
crtclfied Jesim after they found
him lo be Innocent, And as the
I toman soldier pierced Ids side
with cruel steel they put a crown
of thorns upon his . head n.tid
mocked him and with the blood
streaming down his face lie criel
out from tlie anguish In his heart,
"l-'uther, forgive them for they
know not what they do." Then
with a last gasp he said, "If it Is
possible, Kalhcr, let this cup
pass." No wonder our fathers
worshiped htm as a god and when
we take, Into consideration the
characters of most of the go-In
that have been handed down to
us this worship belittles the char
acter of Jesus Christ .

Civilization mA dvances
Comparisons iu''e said to lie odious, but if we would
nov, iHiifcelveis' a.4: a nation we must reflect ourselves in
tho seamung mirror provided by past civilizations and mil'
foreign neighbors. The leader can always loam somethiiv
from his followers..
Modernity is especially interested in the recent archae
ological discoveries in Kgypt, China, our own southwest and
Central and South America, not so much through empty
curiosuy as inrougn a dosne to loam what tlie past can
teach and to gauge the advance of civilization. We are un
, consciously reflecting ourselves in the mummy of King Tut
and our institutions m the palace and tomb of the boy
1'hnraoh.
An American correspondent in llussia writes that thf!
villlages in interior Kussia are just awakening to the de
mands of modern life. lie cites instances where electricity
has just been "discovered" to the villagers and where the
theater is only now being brought to the Russian Towns.
It is hard for those in urban America to believe that
electricity and the theater hnve been unknown to vast areas
of Russia because one forgets or does not know that the
same condition exists in many parts of this country. - Few
persons, to be sure, in the United States tlo not como in
; contact with electricity in some of its many forms, but even
in thickly-populated states there nre still towns which still
light their streets and houses with gas. As for the theater,
in this country it was first brought to the small American
town by the moving picture. He-fore the introduction of
tho moving picture there were structures which purported
to be theaters in many of the smaller towns, but the show
troupes which played in them were of little worth and far
apart. It is to the motion picture that mini America 'is
turning: for the pr.nrunmn of American life, for the Ameri
can drniim nnd our own peculiar American enmedv.
