The Dangerous Citizen.

The thing that we call politics, which so
many good, but misguided, people only regard
with contempt and speak of with sneer, has
really to do with the most sacred relations Of
life, and the man who piously says that he is
above having to do with politics simply says
he is above having anything to do with adjust
ing the relations between his felowmen, and to
my mind there is no more dangerous class of
citiz>ns to-day than the Pharisees of business
and religion, who, counting themselves holier
than other men, are so absorbed either in the
business of money getting or sef-adoration chat
they frankly say 'they have time" to med
die with politics. If it is true that politics are
"dirty," and good and pious men are too good
and too pious and too busy to lend hand in
the work of cleaning up the political situation,
what hope is there for our political institutions?
l am one who believes there is no hope for
political peace except as it is reached through
political and social justice do not believe
that our social and political problems are to be
fought out; they are to be thought out

The Secret of LincOln'S Style.

Apropos of Iincoln's birthday the question
was asked at the Authors Club, "Where did
Lincoln, with his meagre education, get his lit
erary style--his extraordinary capacity to say
things in the most effective way?"
The answer is easy. Lincoln was man not
only of great and fine brain, but simple and
sincere character. The first condition of clear
writing or speaking is clear thinking. Lincoln
"thought straight" as Matthew Arnold puts
it, and he was much too sincere to disguise his
thought in high-sounding words He was one
of what he himself called 'the plain people,"
He shared their thought, and in expressing it,
he spoke rs simply as they habitually do. AS
Lowell finely SAID, "When Lincoln spoke, the
American people heard themselves thinking
aloud"
Eloquence, i'll the old acceptance of the word,
is gone. The eloquent man of our time is he
who speaks clearly, simply and torcibly the
thought that stirs his soul.
In his Gettysburg address, Lincoln followed
Edward Evertt, whose eloquence was the finest
flower of the old-school method. He spoke
briefly where Evertt had spoken at length. He
spoke simply where Evertt had invoked all
there is of rhetoric to his aid. Liucolns speech
delivered on that memorable occasion lives in
the minds of men, and will always live as an
inspiration of patriotism and model of ex-
preston, while Evertt's is so far forgotten that
few remember even that it was delivered.-The

Britain

Here is the way that great Humanitarian of
Boston, Geo. r. Angel, views the present sit
uation in which England and the United States
are placed in consequence of the wars OF con-
quest in which both are now engaged:
1t seems to us that Great Britain would stand
better before the civilized world to-day if the
millions of dollars she is now spending in de-
stroying lives i'll South Africa were being spent
in saving the lives of millions of her starving
subjects in India and so, perhaps, preventing
bubonic other plague, which may curse all
nations.
We know Great Britain may reply that we
are equally guilty in regard to the unnecessary
starvation, suffering and of life in Cuba and the
Philippines, the consequences of which and
punishment for which we, as nation, may yet
see. The Almighty does not always settle His
accounts in a day, or year.-The Wichita
Democrat

VALLEY FORGE.

At Valley Forge the foe Despair was met,
And, overcome Our life was thence secure,
For hearts grow strong that find they must eu-
du1e.
There, on our nations hope the seal was set
O, crumped Sheet all torn, all winter wet!-
Yet, golden sealed it was, and firm and bold.
But, oh, the red that lay beneath the gold
No true born continental can forget!
Salvation comes through bayonetted fears,
And life is salt and strong that tastes of tears.
The way was dark through Valley Forge. o,
God!
None ever dreamed how dark the wint-y road!
The way was dark; twas rough, and Washington
That via doloroso walked alone.
Sometimes. it is, the bravesi have their fears,
Yet, one but guessed his fears, his woes, his
loss
When those stood still who should have borne
his cross
Not for their scorn he cared, their taunts and
No. ior the spy, nor dark and Threatening jeers;

THE Republican politicians are opposed 20
the nomination of Geo. NJ Munger as the fus.
ion candidate for governor because he used to
be laundryman. Now to us, it seems like
that is good reason for his nomination, as
there will be huge pile of very dirty Repub-
lican linen to be washed, and Munger knows
just how to do it.. The G. o. p. believes in the
doctrine, "Let him that is filthy be filthy still, :"
while Munger thinks that 'cleanliness is next
to Godliness."
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-03-02

Nor cruel intrigue, fasehood and distrust
That humbled his great soul down to the dust,
When wood birds saw him kneel with frozen
tears;
Nor the cabal, its hates and jealousies,
But, OH his men! whom dav by day he saw
Dying for lack OF bread and beds of straw.
And yet, twas naught to heroes such as these
That prohgate, and gay, and idle lay
The enemy but twenty miles away.
The bloody prints of bare feet mark the SHOWS;
The ice-spiked guns lie speechless in the drift;
But voice tells Washington of winters rift;
Beneath the Ice song in the Schuylkills foes!
And deep meath his own calm secret glows-
His soldiers love! genial and warm and true
A June that thrills the meadows thro' aud thro'.
His soldiers love, death gripped in veal or woe!
With him they prayed and bore and battled then,
The continentals, all immortal men!
Stern looked they all Oh life, but smiled
death
In their grand fire of soul and holy faith.
This lacked the vanished soldiers of King
George.
This bore the tattered flag of Valley Forge.
