their will, crystsllised In tbe form of

rule of the people. Four years (ago tha
laws against bribery "In all of the states
were considered as practically a dead
letter. Up to that time, for the 60 yeare
preceding there had only been about It
caaes of bribery reported In the books
in all the United States. Not becauss
the offense was uncommon, but be
cause It waa uncommon for officials
to be prosecuted for It .When the pros-
ccuituns were commenced in Bt. Louis,
the members of the house of delegates
denounced the' bribery law aa a 'blue
law,' and as a dead law,' because It had
not been . enforced before. They ar
gued that membere of the house of dele
gates, .having been taking bribes from
time Immemorial, they had acquired a
right' to do so, , and It was - Just ae
proper for them to sell their votes ss
f or araierehant to aell his waresr Here
was a crime . worse thsn the other, for
bribery strikes at the foundation of all
law. yet the law denouncing it waa not
enforced. Men gave bribes and thought
nothing of it; men took, bribes and
boaated of tha fact;' corrupt men feested
and- fattened at publlo expense;laws
became merchandise on the market and
all thla time the public conscience waa
asleep.' When the revelations came and
the People aaw how they had been plun
dered and realised that a government by
bribery was a government by the wealth
of the few and not by the people,- they

end from one end of the' land' to the

titute their trusts and sell the powere

In prosecuting graft and bribery. This
does not Indicate a moral degeneration,
but It ahowa.a moral awakening.', for to
years prior to-the civil war the-publlo
attention was on the suVJect of slavery.
War Delayed the Beokoaimg.y .
' "Little attention waa paid to civic mat
ters. For nearly 40 years, after the
war pjibllo thought waa engaged In set
tling the problema arising out of that
fierce conflict While attention waa di
rected, to other corrupt matters corrupt
men made of public office a private
graft; ThCpeople were oblivious to the
sowing of ths aeede and the gradual
development of corruption. Especially
waa thla true of the rural districts, for
after It -all It must be admitted that
the germ of bribery has its beginning
in the populous centers. - At length
the.trutb became known, and the knowledge-apread
that bribery was ruling ., in
many municipalities. At first it waa
thought that this condition was. con
fined to the cities. ' Then came another
awakening, and the people learned that
atate and national officials were- for
getting their high commissions and were
becoming Involved In the meeheo of
greed. Then came a a tern determination
to ' stamp -out the offense that atrtkea
at the heart of free government - The

be a public trust and not a private snap;
that public . office, shall not be held

and wit In an official are welt enough
but. common every-day honesty Is much
better. Unless the spirit of civic right
eonsness dies out we will soon pass
from the commercial age lntothe age
of high ideals; from evil to-good, and
from darkness Into light The ambition
of young men should not be so much to
get rich as to get right and stay, right.
Honesty Is ths Beat Politics. ;
"Political partiee are beginning to learn
that honesty Is not only the best policy
but the best politics. The people will
no longer respond to tne sounding erase
of mere party namea, but a party muat
stand for something, and ' mean some
thltig. Corrupt men ueed to hide behind
the party dress, and whenever attacked
would cry out the party waa being as
Bailed. A rascal Is a rascal whether he
calls himself a Democrat or a Republi-
matter what party he may belong to.
f there be any difference mane by rea-
lon of party I ahould aay prosecute the
Democrat who doea wrong first, because
he should know better.- Under our forms
of government political parties are nee
eeaary, for it is throufhthem that man
come to an agreement on political ques
tions and announce their principles and
intentions, but political parties should
be thei servant of tbe people, not their
masters.-- - Any man who puts party In
terest above the welfare of hie state is
a traitor to his atate. Partisanship Is
a good thing sometimes, bur patriotism
la a better tning au tne time. mi
welfare of the state ahould always be
above mere party advantage. It mey
not matter ao much whether New Tdrk
goes Democratic or Republican, out it
does matter a great deal whether New
Tork goes honest or dishonest
The nonenforcement of the bribery
statute might be explained by the dif
ficulty of securing evidence of Its vio
lation, though a prosecuting officer
working at it alncerely and willing to
incur the enmltlea such ss an Investi
gation would bring about can usually
lay bare venality or that Kind u it
exists. - '-. " ' ;';;;', V

not that their business ,1s being hurt,
but that tha liberty of the people la
being taken away. . Thla haa always
been the way of ' error. It does not
come out in the open and make tha issue
fairly, but combats the truth on' falee
premises. Those who Oppose the en
forcement of any 'particular law do not
usually -come out boldly against the
enforcement of that law, but they claim
to find aome other law that la not ob
served, and thereby attempt to discredit
the enforcement of any law. From the
lawbreakers standpoint -no law -could
ever be enforced, and no criminal could
ever : be punished, because all crimi
nals cannot be punished.' Such- argu
ments In opposition to tbe enforcement
of tha law are not sincere and are made
to hinder the enforcement of the law.
not to help It. , .
