MIR DUMMIES VIEWS.
! George c Ward. Esq.. kansas City, Mo-:
| Dear Sir: You ask me for a brief
! statement of my views on the political
| situation. I believe in the ultimate tri-
umph of truth and consequently look
/ upon the present evolution going on
among the people as sure indications Of
/ = rapid change in conditions. ''Agitate
/ and educate has been the motto of all
true reformers since reforms began.
! We have passed through the prepare
tory stage of agitation and have now
I arrived at the progressive period of ed
/ ucatiOn. The surprise which is now
| manifested at the progress OF education
/ among the people Will be turned into
! absolute establishment in the near fu-
ture at their more rapid advance
ment. The agitation of tine past
/ fifteen years has laid the founda-
ton deep and strong upon which is
to be yet erected one of the Erandest
! structures of economic educational re-
forms that the world has ever known.
! Believing these conditions to exist and
having faith in humanity to the extent
o. believing that when educated upon
right principles "a majority will act in
/ harmony with their teaching, I cannot
reject the conviction that the reign OF
Plutocracy and the oppression of the
! people must soon cease There are to-
day one million men and women who
| can stand before an audience and give
positive and conclusive evidence of the
righteousness and justice of the cause
for which they are 5aboring. These
million workers are reading, think
ing, talking and discussing the rights
and wrongs of the people continually,
They are fearless, hopeful, honest a nd
persistent in their efforts and are mold
ing public opinion much more rapidly
than most observers suspect This
cause of reform is made family mat
ter. It is talked of in the field and a
the fireside. 1t is IA their songs, theiI
prayers and their Sabbath devotiOns
A similar condition has not existed
among any people since the cTusades Of
old 1t can no more be checked than
can the onward march of civilization
OF which it has become prime factor.
1t is as sure to win the victory as day
to follow night, and this, too, much
sooner than the wisest even suspect
In view of this / think the present
situation to be all the most earnest re
former could eN Pect, and one tina
should make every honest worker
thank God, take fresh courage, and re
double his efforts.
Fraternally yours,
