tain conditions and tendencies among our
people which seem to menace the integ-
rity and usefulness of their government.
While every American citizen must con-
template with the utmost pride and en-
thusiasm the growth and expansion of our
country, the sufficiency of our institutions
to stand against the rudest shocks of vlo-
lence, the wonderful thrift and enterprise
of our people and the demonstrated superb
GRITTY OF our free government, IL behooveS
us to constantly watch for every symptom
OF irsidious infirmity that threatens our
national vigor.
The strong man who In the confidence
of sturdy health, courts the sternest ac-
tivities OF life and rejoices In the hardi-
hood of constant labor, may still have
lurking near his vitals the UNDECIDED dis
ease that dooms him to sudden collapse.

dous achievements as people and our

our national health, which we can no
more evade than human life can escape

Manifestly nothing is more vital to our
supremacy as nation and to the benefi-

sound and stable currency. Its exposure
TO degradation should at once arouse to

Benjamin Harrison on that day stepped
down from the Presidents chair, which
no had occupied for four years-years
which to him had undoubtedly been the
happiest and yet tho most sorrowful of
his life.
But the weather did not prevent the
grandeur of the Inauguration. The parade
was not so extensive, and probably not
half OF the GO 900 men who had intended to
march were In line. But the crowds were
out on Pennsylvania avenue. The stands

VantageouS points were crowded and af-

that frugality among the people is the best
guaranty of a contented and strong sup
port of free institutions.
One mode of the incorporation of
public funds Is avoided when appointments
to office, instead of being the rewards OF
partisan activity, are awarded to those
whose efficiency promises a fair return OF
work for the compensation paid to them:
To secure the fitness and competency OF
appointees to office, and to remove from
the political action the demoralizing mad
ness for spoils, civil service reform has
found a place in our public policy and
laws. The benefits already gained through
CHS instrumentality and the further use
fulness IL promises, entitle 1t to the hearty
support and announcement of all who
desire to see our public service well per-
formed or with hope for the elevation of
the political sentiment and the purifica-
ton OF the political methods.
The existence of immense aggregations
of kindred enterprises and combinations of
business interests, formed for the purpose
of limiting production and fixing prices, is
inconsistent with the fair field which ought
to be open to every Independent activity.
Legitimate strife in business should not
be superseded by an enforced concession
to the demands of combinations that have
the power to Destroy nor should the peo-
pie to be served lose the benefit of cheap
ness, which usually results from whole
some competition. These aggregations and
combinations frequently constitute con-
spiracies against the interests of the peo-
pie, and in all their phases they are I'M
natural and opposed to our American sense
of fairness. To the extent that they can be
reached and restrained by federal power,
the general government should relieve our
citizens from their interference and exac-
tions.
Loyalty to the principles upon which our
government rests positively demands that
the equality before the law which 1t guar
antees to every citizen should be justly
and i'm good faith conceded in all parts of
the land. The enjoyment OF this right fol-
lows the badge of citizenship wherever
found and, unimpaired by race or color,
IL appeals for recognition to American
manliness and fairness.

grades to the purposes of willy craft the
plan of rule our fathers established and
bequeathed to US as an object OF our love
and veneration. 1t perverts the patriotic
sentiment of our countrymen and tempts
them TO a pitiful calculation of the sordid
gain to be derived from their government
maintenance. 1t undermines the sef-re-
lance OF our people and substitutes in Its
place dependence upon governmental ia
voritism. 1t stiles the spirit Of true Amer
icanism and stupehes every ennobling
trait of American citizenship.
The lessons Of paternalism ought to be
unlearned and the better lesson taught,
that while the people should periodically
and cheerfully support their government
It's functions do not include the support OF
the people.
The acceptance of this principle leads to
refusal of bounties and subsidies, which
burden the labor and thrift of portion
of our citizens to- aid ill-advised or Ian
gushing enterprises In which they have
no concern. 1t leads also 10 a challenge
OF wild and reckless pension expenditure,
which overleaps the bounds of grateful
recognition Of patriotic service and prosti-
tutes to vicious uses the peoples prompt
and generous impulse TO aid those dis
abled in their cOurtry'S defense. Every
thoughtful American must realize the i'm
portance of checking at its beginning any
tendency in public or private station, to
regard frugality and economy as virtues
which we may safely outgrow. The toler-
ance of this idea results in the waste OF
the peoples money by their chosen serv-
ants and encourages prodigality and ex-
travagance in the home life of our coun-
trymen.
Under our scheme of government the
waste of public money Is a crime against
the citizen; and the contempt of our peo-
pie for economy and frugality I'm their
personal affairs deplorably saps the
strength and sturdiness of our national
character.
1t is plain dictate of honesty and good
government that public expenditures should
be limited by public necessity and that
this should be measured by the rules OF
