which exists to measure political
success by the length of the pocket
book that has resulted from "the
service of the country" So far has
this tendency spread that it is con-
sidered matter worthy of comment

lie career poor man. Honest men
are by no means so rare as we in
our wrath are sometime tempted to
declare. but nevertheless a strong
tendency exists to think that man

a public duty instead of as pri-
vate ''snap." Both parties have a
touch Of the same bush, therefore,
it is more than fitting that the pro-

The thing that spoils the life and
efLrt Of SO many of us is that we
start out with wrong standards, and
then subsequently have to unlearn
them before we can begin to make
of life all that it ought to be. We
must, therefore, welcome this great
object lesson, 30 soon to be given to
the plastic minds ofour young men.
1t will show them that there are
things more to be considered than
the mere piling up Of money and
more precious than high-living. A
man cannot be selfish and at the
same time a good citizen. He can
not be defrauding politician and
at the same time a good man. In
other words, notwithstanding GER
tain puzzling facts about our COM
plicated natures, it may be set down
as very safe rule for young people

his duality ought to send him back
