Rock Island Argus., 1896-02-24

States senator announced that the purif.
cation Of politics was an iridescent dream nj
and that the decalogue and the golden
rule had no place in public life. There Is,
unfortunately, certain order Of intellect
which Is prone TO admire such silly and
vicious cynicism, and to the extent of the
admiration thus excited the words of the
senator did damage. A man who is @
brilliant phrascmaker and uses his talent
to advance what is low and base is unfit
for public life in q commonwealth which
seriously puts Washington forward as an
example,"
Again he made the following reference
to tho press: Nothing more speedily
lowers the tone of public life than indis-
criminate abuse Of public men. Many Of
tho most prominent newspapers in the
land, and not few politicians whose
voices are heard even in the houses of the
national legislature, make us hang our
heads for shame as Americans by the
foul indecency Of their assaults; assaults
made quite as frequently on the best as on
the worst OF our public servants. These
writer's and speakers are digraces to the
community which seriously respects
Washington's great name" He added,
however, that this was not modern in
stitution, for Washington had been SINH
larly slandered during his life.
1t is evident that Roosevelt has views,
and had no hesitation in stating them in
the plainest language. The foregoing Is
but small portion Of an address that was
full OF similar directness and pith. There
was no tone Of compromise anywhere, it
was all straight from the shoulder" he
"hewed to the line" OF his belief regard
less Of where the chips fell and his audi
enco applauded az every point.
