of common sense, of hard work. You must
have high ideals, but you must not follow
them with your heads in the air, blind to
the practical methods by which alone they
can be even partially realized on this earth.
Just at the moment the nation is face
to face with a duty that calls for heroiSm.
1 mean our attitude in the Philippines We
put our pick into the rotten foundation of
Spanish government both in the East and
West Indies. We tumbled the building
down in as righteous a war as was ever
undertaken. Now, If We are worth our
place among the great nations of the earth.
We must see to 1t that the ruins are cleared
away and the temple of justice and honesty
reared in their places.
We shall be guilty of a terrible wrong
to humanity, If the Philippines we re-
treat before armed savagery instead of or
ganizing suitable government which shall
guarantee justice to all and an ever
increasing measure of liberty to those who
show themselves worthy of it. The whole
history of the world shows that the wrong
done by the mere sentimentaist is often of
larger proportions and more elastic than
any other kind of wrong; and of this wrong
we shall be guilty If we fail to do our task
thoroughly and well.
1t will call for but the merest fraction of
our strength, provided only we choose to
exert that strength. If, however, the peo-
pie let their representatives in congress
hamper the administration as they did last
winter when they refused to put the army
upon proper footing as to size, perma-
nence and organization, then the people
have themselves to thank If the war lin
gers with difficulties and dangers increas-
ed What the people have to do Is TO re-
solve to back up the president to the full

saints on this earth was brought to naught
chiefly because its upright and devout lead
ers would not take the common sense view
that on this earth we have got to exercise
a large charity and federation of differ
ences of prejudice, even differences of prin-
ciples, and accept the fact in working out
our own salvation in our own manner, that
we must interfere as little as possible with
our brother man who is working out his
salvation in. his manner.
If good people are afraid to assert them
selves, if they shrink from the hurlyJburly
of politics, if they won't go to the caucuses
and the polls, and confine themselves to
lamenting the amount of evil there is scat
tered about through the world, they are
not going to make much progress, and the
politician who has neither fears nor scru-
pies will always beat the men who have
scruples, but who also have fears. To beat
him he should be beaten, you have got
ITO marshall the men who are serupulous in
their morals, who believe in decency and
right, and who, so far from having any
fear, are ready, If need be, to smite with
the sword of the Lord and of Gideon. So
it is with common sense A corrupt poll
teal ring can only fasten itself upon
community if it exercises great shrewd-
ness, and If dts opponents lack either this
shrewdness or else study moral courage,
nothing can avail against the corrupt ma
chimes success.
In New York I firmly believe that the
decent people could combine to overthrow
the civil corruption If they only would;
but as a matter of fact they are so apt
to fight one another, so apt to quarrel as to
exactly how high the ideal of their govern
ment shall be, that they too often throw
the victory into the hands of those who
have no ideal at ALL and who In addition
to cynical belief in the power of corruption
and in mere demogogy. also set about their
work with the practical common sense that
you expect a man to show in managing his
own business. AS long as good men are
mere visionaries, they do not accomplish
very much OF course, they have got to
have the good side of the visionary in
them, or else they won't be good men.
When a man ceases to strive to make man.
hood better, ceases to believe in higher
ideal and to endeavor to realize 1t so far
as his own limited powers and the human
frailty of those about him permit, why he
ceases to be useful at all.
We should be ashamed of ourselves for
treating the successful rogue differently
from the way we treat the unsuccessful
rogue. The bad man who rises high either
in politics or in business, to the extent of
his success, is 10y just so much more dam
ger to the whole community.
Practical politics must be the politics of
decency, but also the politics of courage,
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-11-19
forget that we are ourselves to blame for

forget that we are ourselves to blame for
permitting this existence.
Again, do not let us fall into the mistake
of thinking that We shall ever make poll
tics better by Mysteries in any shape or
form. Wild denunciation of all politicians,
good and bad, is the very thing most ad-
vantageous to the bad politician, because
such denunciation being one-half false,
hoses all practical effect, as it is impossible
to separate the truth from the false. In
the same way, a place second in infamy
to the man who is dishonest in politics, is
occupied by the man who wrongfully ac-
cuses him who is honest of dishonesty.
Entirely apart from the wrong done the
individual by such an accusation, it is of
the gravest wrong to the state, for 1T both
tends to excite disbelief in the honesty of
good public servants, and also as its false
hood is sure to be partially appreciated
tends to excite disbelief in the justice OF
any charges against public servants, good
or bad. In consequence the public gradu-
ally grows calloused. 1t expects to see all
public men assailed, whether they Nave
been faithful or unfaithful, and gradually
assumes the cynical habit of belief that on
the one hand, no public man is entirely
honest, and on the other hand, no attack
on any public man or entirely just, and
that therefore there is no use in worrying
over one or the other. Remember, then,
that your highest duty to the state Is to
see that you do all that within you lies to
elevate the standard of public life, to de-
mand honesty and efficiency in your pub
lie men, and to frown on the system of ly-
ing Islander which would teach you that
there is no good and no bad; no black and
no white; that everything is gray, and
every man a time-server who will do as
much ill as he dares.
Again, avoid another form of mysteries.
Do not trust to sudden uprlghtness, to
sudden instructions of virtue Do not get
into the habit of permitting things to drift
from bad to worse with the belief that you
can always apply revolutionary remedy.
You might Just as well expect to conduct
a private business safely on such principles
as to get a satisfactory government by
their application in public life. Revolu-
lions are sometimes necessary. but govern
meEy by revolution Is not success.
