identify more and more politics ane
morality, because we are going to lool
more and more to men rather than tc
things. We are going to look less a
our machinery, our crops and our hogs
and we are going to look at our men
and we are going to stand mere ano
more persuasion. The power of politi
cal influence must be brought to beal
upon public morality.
CULTIVATE ONLY THE BEST.
Those who think and those who love
America and those who love liberty are
goingito bring this moral question into
politics more and more; also tins ques-
tion of bribery, this question of lobby
ing, this question of getting measures
through state and national legislatures
by corrupt means. They are going to
be taken hold Of. Our press, which has
done so much to enlighten our people,
which, represents so much that is good
in our civilization, must also be re-
formed. It must cease to pander to
such an extent to the lawless and SEN
sual appetites of man. My GOD man is
animal enough! You don't want to
pander to his puriency! You don't
want to pander to the beast that is in
him, Do not publish filth. Respect
the PEOPLE; respect the mothers and
daughters and the sweet innocence Of
children. Publish that which will en-
lightsn and stimulate noble aims, but
leave out what is fit for brothels only.
Our rich men, ana they are numerous,
and their wealth is great their number
and their wealth will increase, but our
rich men must 90 their duty or perish.
I tell you in America we will not tolerate
vast wealth in the hands OF men who
do nothing for the good Of the people.
Rich men must establish universities,
must create museums of art, and they
must beautify our cities, and make
their wealth an instrument for the
general good. Then they will become
QUE leaders and those to whom we willy
point with pride. Also comes before
us the question, probably the most I'M
portant, that Of education. The state
must maintain education. 1t is not
possible TO educate the whole mass of
the. people, except with the aid OF the
state. w E must more and more discuss
this question Of education in an lmpar.

IT is not question for fanaticism. IT

1t is not q question to be looked at With

get right and not q false education.
