but an exponent or the SOC1al ana
 commercial morals of @ people
 Besides, if the partisan is so
 pre,eminently moral 1t is his duty to impress his morals upon the
 politics O., his country, and if he
 fails to do so he justly forfeits all claims to moral superiority. Oth-
 CTS renounce all interest in poli-
 tics because 1t is vulgar. There Is no appeal from this decision, | because the man who gives it is unfortunately non compos mentis. He is the deluded victim of arti- fciai standards of judgment, and he surrenders his patriotism and his manhood to a mere notion, founded on the most vulgar form of pride. He is an unmitigated snob. The man who is too busy to take part in politics also lnakes a great blunder. He falls back upon the pride of honest indus try, it is true, but the real fact is that his greed is tue true cause of his indifference. A great many of this class add to their greed the sin of coWardice. They will not entertain political convictions, because that fact may lose them the trade of some who hold op- posite views. They sacrafice their country to a ten cent piece they surrender manhood and citizen ship at the bidding of some blat- ant politician, who is unworthy of confidence. The non-pariisan citizen, so far from possessing any degree of superiority, is not even the peer of the humblest. As a rule, the non.partisap, non' voting citizen lacks moral and mental fibre. He has no grasp of the thought of the day. He lacks the courage and ability 10 think and act. 4 republic is and must be governed by and through politi- cal parties, and the man wh 0 re- fuses to vote for the nominees of political parties IS @ mere "shirk," and the man who refuses to en- certain political convictions is a traitor to his country. He en- gages in a dogged, sulien revolt against Republican institutions. To make him in any sense the equal of other citizens, he should be subjected to 6 property tax ten times greater than that which is imposed upon more patriotic men. The non-partisan, non-voting citizen is a fraud. Away with him to the sham bles, where he belongs!
