The new man, as citizen, is gong
to bring to pass a better day Of cleaner
politics; for he is to declare that a man
who is morally unfit for his compan-
ionship or the courtesies Of his home
is politically unfit to receive his vote.
He understands that Notwithstanding
those who see with him are few at pres
ent, yet their strength is not to be
counted by numbers; FOR he has the
utmost faith in the peryssiye power Of
a right idea. The increase of his kind
will bring back into political life men
Of strong character and Of leisure. He
will demand as time progresses more
and more real trust Of the people, 80
that we shall hope to see as part of the
machinery of future government the
referendum vote by reason OF which
all important actions of legislature
shall be referred back to the people
themselves for a final decision. And
his contention will be that while-alas
bad legislation can be bought by
schemes among a few men the pur-
chase Of the majority Of the voters in
State would be out of the question.
But running along beside his efforts to
give the people a real voice will be a
constant effort to educate our mixed
classes up to a better realization Of
their privileges as men and as Amer
leans.

Present Day Thoughts.

The New Man as Citizen.-The
individual beads do not constitute a
necklace. The cord that passes through
them explains the sinuous grace with
which they lie upon the bosom of
beauty. Sever the cord and the colec-
tive grace is gone. The new man, as
a citizen, understands fully that the
one thing which imparts value and in
terest to his life is the fact Of his be-
ing i'm and Of and permeated by racial
claims. lie knows-and it moulds his
liie-that were he thrust ont alone and
dcfenseless into the wilds of forest land
he would wage losing battle against
the boisterous forces of nature. Part
of his political creed, therefore. is that
the best things of life-the protection,
the mutual aid, the transfer of helpful
ideas and almost perfect supremacy
over nature-come from the fact that
he holds by his fellows and his fellows
hold by him. Consequently the new
man, as citizen is opposed in every
possible way to the fierce indvidualism
that will MAKE man exclaim every
man for himself and the Dell take the
hindmost" This makes him opposed
to those things that are selfish i'm the
behavior either of citizens who rule or
citizens who are ruled He is against
thieyery and jobbery in high places and |
equally against apathy and neglect of |
in low places You must not |
argue with him that greed is an in
stinct and that self-preseryation is the
first law, for he can showyo number
less evidences from the history of this
race of ours TO prove unsellishness and
seli-sacrliice-eyen unto death-to have
been the highest possible gain to the
race as a whole. I'm the continuation
Of the discussion he will insist that
you do not drag it down to the indi-
7idual basis, for, to 60 back to the
necklace illustration, he will show you
that it is the string of n common life
that ties as together in one interest
md one benefit. An individual bead
IAN he taken and yet there will still be
necklace. So. too, an individual life
AN drop ont yet the stream of life will
90 on leading us To the understanding |
hat an individual life is of merit only
is it brings beauty and strength and
lonor to the glorious whole of which
{ is "a minor part.

The new man, as citizen, will be
prompt to acknowledge that every
great question has two sides. Conse-
quently though he will not be lacking
in very definite opinions upon all public
questions yet fierce partisanship will
be far from him and, in its place. only
courtesy and charity towards those
who oppose him. lie also sees that
the triumph of an idea does not carry
with it simply the benefit Of the
triumphant party, but that the rights
of the defeated are most real obliga-
ton upon the shoulders of the victor.
1t may be we'll said that things have
not always been SO. Very we'll the
new man will reply that "the world
moves" and he will also tell you and
prove to you that the pendulum move
ment in political triumphs has been
largely due to the fact that the party
in power has forgotten that it was

will be some hundred miles of road,
and the topography Of the county is
such that no farm will be more than
two miles from a good road when the
system is completed. Lands are now
cheap i'm this cOunty,-one noted for its

would pay the intending investor to

The new man, as a citizen, is going
to bring to pass i'm ever increasing de-
gree this test of a mans merit-not
Did he die rich or did he gain indi-
yidual honorg but Did he feel his
social obligations and thus leave the
race a gamer by his life? The new man
as a citizen accounts for the remark
able growth i'm this country of the
municipal spirit. we have advanced
beyond the stage when the physical
conquest of a continent used up our
total energy. We have ceased TO spread
ourselves thin over broad area and
the waves of population roll back more
and more upon the towns and cities
The new man sees that this cannot 20
ON indefinitely, in its past needless way
without straining our social fabric to
its very foundation. He it is who sees
that tenements are light and airy, that
breathing spaces are reserved in per
Petuity, that life is i'm every way rem
dered more human both for himself
and FOR others. lie it is who suggests
and carries out vast plans Of municipal
improvement, whose benefits will be
enjoyed solely by future gener, ions
and whose burdens are borne most
heavily by this.
