thought necessary, went to the back door

A CoRRUPr government always is and al

ACoRRUPr government always is and al
ways must be the government of the men
who have the money! Henry George.
Many such assertions pass for truth,
which require but a little consideration
to demonstrate their falsity. Men are
pretty much the same the world over,
and wealth neither makes rogues of
honest men nor honest men of rogues.
If the stability of government is
founded upon virtue, a proposition
that cannot be refuted, then those who
possess wealth, if they likewise are
gifted with an ordinary amount of
brains, surely have the strongest mo-
tive for promoting pure government.
1t is love of money that has been
pronounced the " root of evil" by very
high authority, and not money itself.
1t is the desire to accumulate wealth
that nerves the arm of the desperate,
the ambition for power or wealth that
leads many men to adopt corrupt
means for reaching the goal. Occas-
ionally bad man may attain the top
of the ladder, but the more money he
has the more concerned he is likely to
be in the stability of his earthly pos
sessions, which rests upon good gov
eminent.
