In a day, such as ours, when we have presented to us many phases of the Investigative body, and many details of "muck raking", and ' a wholesome or .unwholesome as the case may be lot of politicians who prefer charges and parry counter charges; a day; In short,', when -we have the law maker seeking with all his might and main for a solu tion of this or that politics eco problern, by way of providing a, law that may solve H in ' such a day It is pertinent to speak of the real basis of reform. There can be but one basia; That of simple Justice bom of the ever growing human :,' sense of what Is right and what is not right. It is a bns:'s which shifts, necessarily, will every shifting of the- public sense of light and wrong, but its shifting -lii its salvation; its lively changing ' Its mark of vitality; its varying and sometimes contradictory phases nre assurances that the public con science Is strong and developing, and forging a bigger cycle for men and women than has ever been forged before. ., , :Yhen this pub.de sense of what Is t .ght and what le wrong gets strong enough, nothing can stay a. change. A change may . be' a reform or it might be an economic cataclysm, but In either event It .will depart from custom. And lit will always adhere to the real basis prompting it, up from which It grew, Out of which if was and Is and always will ' be a moat logical climax, notably .the growing sense, of simple justice. It amounts to' little that now and then a politician will seek to ride Into public favor and public office on the wave . of such, a . Public sen timent. ' That merely demonstrates the politician's timely astuteness. Nor does it lessen the inherent qual ltj of the thing that produces re forms, to have now and then a poll t tic Ian temporarily bend any reform aside from Its real end, or In, other words to "compromise with the peo ple's enemy." The same developing sense of what Is right and what Is wrong remains.

It is lmportant'only that! the public grasp precisely the fundamen tal reason for its desire for reform andretorming. . It to Important, too, that, the public man. grasp the- same rtason, and lead on accordingly, for the day is near nay, at hand1 when no voter sleepeth, but remalneth very much awake and alert to his governmental issues. Whatever inherent greatness we concede to be Colonel Roosevelt's and he is creditably great, he i still a product of an era, Just as the man Lincoln was the pre-eminent product of an era. The- era directed the activity of the Individual great ness. Trust-busting might have giv en way to writing messages, in Roosevelt's time, were It not for the public sentiment the real basis of all reform which directed the Roose veltian energies. Thus it is, thus it has been, and thus it always will be as to reform. We do not need to get scared at reform and reform ing. These are actions simply de noting life, growth, expansion, and healthful occupation. Sometimes the reform Is pretty crude, and the sffort tolerable only for Its sincer Ity of motive and singlenessi of pur pose, but In the main the human sense of what is right and what is not right is the stringer of gold that has kept society from falling ipart into disintegration; i and it can be trusted to that end, in spite of some crudeness and Incom pleteness now and then.
