In his interesting account >of ''The
Shame of Minneapolis" in the Jan
uary McClure's, Mr.. Lincoln Steffens,
in telling of the labors of the grand
jury to root out the Ames ulcer says:
"What startled the jury most, how
ever, was the char acter of the citizens
who were sent to dissuade them from
their course. No reform I have ever
studied has failed to bring out the
phenomenon of virtuous cowardice,
the baseness of the decent citizen.''
Again Mr.. Steffens says that when
Acting Mayor Jones was driving dis
orderly houses out of certain local..
ties:
"One very prominent citizen and
church member threatened him for
driving women out of two flats owned
by him; the rent was the surest means
of support orhis wife and children. ."
That public-moral mushiness of so
many of the "best people" in every
city is powerful contributing cause
to many of our municipal scandals.
To be perfectly frank, it was largely
responsible for the election of Ames
as mayor in 1900. Men who, Judged
by all ordinary standards, are excel
lent and virtuous citizens, supported
Ames and urged their party associates
to vote for him, though they knew the
unqualified viciousness and unrelieved
immortality of the man.
This fault proceeds partly from good
nature. We proclaim loudly our
opposition to vice and corruption;
but when it comes down to passing
judgment on some Individual case,
when we are called upon to look
squarely into the eyes of some offender
against the public welfare and say
plainly, as Mr.. Hovey Clarke did to
DR.. Ames, just what we think of him
and what we propose to do, we finch
and funk. Some of US, who are not
lacking in moral courage, count
personal relations above public
good and set more store en- maudlin
pity than stern duty-doing, and so we
had good citizens going to members
of the grand jury and urging them to
"let Doc Ames alone" Yet these
same men would probably never 20
near an officer of the law to urge and
encourage him to do his duty.
1t is on account of lack of public
morals backbone in men that ought to
have it that such courageous perform
ances as those of Mr.. Clark and asso-
ciates in Minneapolis and Mr.. Folk
in St:<Louis are of such great value,
quite aside from the immediate re.
suits attained in each city. The
is of priceless value. Pre-
,edents of courage and hewing- to-the
mark have BEEN established. It has
been demonstrated how much one
honest, determined man can accom-
plish and what criDging towards
are and how their
'trongestrings fall into heaps of chips
when the sword of justice is drawn in
earnest by clear eyed and hard strik-
ing men.-Minneapolis Journal.
