If ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep' my covenapt,

POLITICAL LEADERS.
In these times of social and economic turmoil we often heal'
men say that what we need is a leader a great and wise
man who will solve. our problems and unite our whole nation
in a thorough, business-like program to restore prosperity
afiiJ -normal living conditions. , -.
...They point out the mistakes of those who are now holding
places of responsibility in local, state, and. national govern
ments.; they show how any common citizen could have done
better;, they berate the abilities of our officials, and even
charge them with stupidity, corruption,, and deception,
.Put. as one wise citizen pointed out the other day, we
ought to stop our hollering for a leader because we wouldn't
recognize him if we had one. In times like the present there
is absolutely no hope of getting any great majority of the
people to follow one man, because we are all confused by the
multiplicity of problems and the contradictory opinions as to
' their solution. So the man who is a leader to some people
is' nothing but a prejudiced politician to others.
, Practically all of the great statesmen of past decades were
:the targets .of ridicule and intense, hatred at some time
during their careers; and it was not until long' after death
that they were recognized as leaders. Lincoln, of course, is
the classic example of this underlying fact of history. .
Jrhe impossibility of finding any man whom even a. major;
it?, will, follow (let alone the entire nation) is the result of
many influences. , Fundamentally, the problem ia one inher
ent jn any form of representative government. There are
two sides to almost every question, and a hundred million
i people cannot lie expected to think alike, especially when their
individual, selfish interests are in conflict.
Widespread education and dissemination of news is an
other factor in this problem of finding a leader. In a. nation
where the people are more or less ignorant and the press is
under .strict censorship leaders find plenty of followers by
qse. of psychology and appeal to the emotions. An. enlight
ened people, however, cannot be induced to act together by
such means.
' (iBiit the greatest trouble right now is the confusion of
issues. Any great leader today would have to have definite!
ideas for handling about a dozen great' problems which now
face the nation; and ho might please a. majority with, his
ideas on six or eight of them, but incur widespread opposi
tion, with the others. . . . , t.
When thero is a single issue, or even two or three, the'
leader may get along very well. But right now it seems that
you can please all the people on some of the issues, and some
of the people on all the issues, but you can't please even a,
majority of the people oh u majority of the issues.
In. such a situation it is true that we would not be able to
recognize a leader if we had one, and it is doubtful if the
coming election will , do very much , toward , indicating, the.
preference of the people on imy of our great national prob-ij
lenis. . . . ,
About all we can do is vole for the men who have estal
lished a reputation for honesty, dependability, niid good
judgment, and trust them to attack our problems on the basis
of the greatest good to the greatest number.

points out.
