Why Our Future is Assured.

The reason why our future is assured lies
in the fact that our people are genuinely
skilled in and fitted for self-government and
therefore will spurn the leadership of those
who seek to excite this ferocious and fool
ish class antagonism. The average Amer
lean knows not only that he himself intends
to do about what is right. but that his aver
age Fellow countryman has the same inten-
ton and the same power to make his inten-
ton effective. He knows, whether he be
business man, professional man, farmer,
mechanic, employer or wage-worker, that
the welfare of each of these men is bound
up with the welfare of all the others; that
each Is neighbor to the other, is actuated
by the same hopes and fears, has funda-
mentally the same ideals. and that all alike
have much the same virtues and the same
faults. Our average fellow citizen Is sane
and healthy man. who believes in decency
and has wholesome mind. He therefore
feels an equal scorn alike for the man Of
wealth guilty of the mean and base spirit
OF arrogance toward those who are less
well Off. and for the man of small means
who In his turn either feels or seeks to ex-
cite in others the feeling Of mean and base
envy for those who are better off The two
Feelings, envy and arrogance, are but oppo-
site sides of the same shield but diff
ferent developments of the same spirit
Fundamentally, the INSCRIPTIONS rich man
VINO seeks to exploit and oppress those who
are less well off Is In spirit not opposed to-
but Identical with. the INSCRIPTIONS poor
man who desires to plunder and oppress
those who are better of. The courtier and
the denagogue are but DEVELOPMENTS of the
same type under different conditions each
manifesting the same servile spirit, the
same desire to rise by pandering
to base passions: though one pan
ders to power in the shape of a single
man and the other to power in the shape of
multitude. So likewise the man who
wishes to rise by wronging others must
by right be contrasted not with the man
who likewise wishes to do wrong, though to
different set of people. but with the man
who wishes to do justice to all people and
to wrong none
Line Between Good and Bad Citizenship
The line of cleavage between good and
bad citizenship lies. not between the man
of wealth who acts squarely by his fellows
and the man who seeks each days wage by
that days work. wronging no one and do
