The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-09-12

Republican organs are now busily
engaged in setting up in Maine man
of straw, to be knocked over at the
forthcoming election. with many ex-
carnations of joy and triumph. They
are saying that Cyrus Davis, whom
the Democrats have nominated for
Governor, is one of the finest and
most popular fellows in the world, and
that local political conditions are like
ly to be of advantage TO him. 1t may
be true, and doubtless is true that
Mr.. Davis is an excellent gentleman
and well liked by his people. But the
stubborn fact is that Maine is hopeless
ly Republican and will give a big Re-
publican majority in the election. The
idea of the bugle-blowers is to make
it appear that the Republicans have
rolled up a big majority against one
of the most popular Democrats in
Maine for the reason that Republican
national policies had to be sustained.

pride. The party spirit which regards
party success not merely as a means
to- higher end, but as the end itself,
and which puts abject obedience to
party behest above the moral law and
the dictates of conscience, will, if it
prevails, inevitably destroy the vital
ity of free institutions.
Whatever induces people to look to
the government for fayors to advance
their material fortunes, instead of re-
lying upon their own independent ener-
gies, will tend 90 deteriorate the pop
ular character.
"A democracy working through uni
versal suffrage cannot have too many
conservative influences of high author
ity to guide popular sentiments and
to protect it against misleading seduc-
tions. In this republic the highest con-
servative influence consists in the ira
ditional veneration by the people of the
principles which justified our existence
as al, independent nation, and of the
ideals for the gradual realization of
which the republic was founded. In
the same measure that we lose this
conservative influence of that tradition,
the republic will become a prey to dis
orderly passions, unprincipled greed
worship of wealth, OF force, of pow
er, or of mere success. whether right
or wrong, is in democracy one of the
most malignant distempers of the pop
ular n7ind-one of the most prolific
sources of anti-democratic tendencies
I'm a democracy not only constitu-
tional principles, but also constitu-
tionaI forms should be observed with
particular conscientiousness, for laxity
in the respect for constitutional forms
will soon lead to disregard of constitu-
tiona1 principles, and then to arbitra-
ry rule. Nothing can be more seduc-
tive, demoralizing and perilous IN a
democracy than the adoption OF the
idea that the end justifies the means.
THE degree of economy in public
expenditures may be taken as the
barometer of honesty in the public ser
vice. A lavish administration will al
ways run into corruption.
In commenting on the. above Mr..
Garter claimed that the administration
here is both arrogant and arbitrary"
and "abject obedience is the leading
thought in Republican speeches He
called it remarkable coincidence that
"just when you want to influence men
yoa have a great deal for them TO do

the Democrats wish TO increase the

After making a few local applica-
tions of these ideas, he quoted from 8
speech delivered by Mr. Olney in New
York, as follows:
TT is quite immateriaI that in tbs
like circumstances similar rottenness
might have developed in any other
political party. The point is that Of
fetal generalization is the natural
fruit of long. unchecked domination
by any political organization and that
the Republican party is no exception
to the rule as it's history abundantly
shows. In view of it's long and con-
tznued tenure of power. therefore. cor
ruptfon in the various branches of the
national administration might correct
have come to the surface"-From Mr..
Olney's New York speech.
Mr.. Carter then commented on the
fact that the central idea of both these
men was that one party was a check
on the other and should rotate in of
fee to Go so effectually. He then said
that it had been his good fortune to
b. in n minority through all his poll
ticaI life and that he has never voted
a straight ticket in his life" Mr.. Car
ter then denounced the way the Unit
ed States had "despoiled" Colombia of
the Panama canal In regard to the
Kaneohe affair, ne said he did not like
to believe the executive responsible,
but believed the Republican machine
responsible .
Mr.. Carter then dwelt on what a
terrible state affairs must be in
when a Pinkerton detective is neces-
sary to put things straight. He then
read extracts from Carl Shurz as fol-
lows:
MR.. ScHURZ ON THE ISSUES.
Fifty years of political study and
experience in this country have con-
vinced me that if the American people
mean to preserve the blessings of their
free institutions, they must always
keep in view certain truths.
I. The government of this republic
must be government of law, not a
government of adventure. It must be
government for the general benefit,
not a government of favor for the pro-
motion of special interests. Tt must

different parties alternating in the pos

?. There never was a political
party in a democracy. however virtuous
it may have been at the start, that
was not by long possession of power
more or less corrupted and made ar
rogant and arbitrary.

Is. The morning may be dark and
chill; no bright CLEAN gives promise
of sunshine and green trees and
flowers. The fog is so dense one can
not see Mr.. Redbreast, but his song
though short, is repeated over and
insistently compels one to listen.
"Cheer up. Cheer up! Dearie. Cheer
upm is the constantly recurring re-
frain. Mr.. Redbreast knows that
clouds do not always lower He
knows that the trees, though now
bare, will soon be covered with foil
age; that the grass will be green and
fiuwers boom again. If one little
bird can bring so much cheer In n
little song, what ought not we be
able to give the world? More truly
than the bird should we know that
the sun will shine and summer come
again.
