Rencies of American Life.

| Rencies of American Life.
1t Is natural, wholesome, saving con-
scientiousness, applied to all the rela-
tons and emergencies of private and
public life, that is SO sadly wanting in
many American communities con.
scientnousness which results in some
thing like that system Of honor which
distinguishes the student life of the
University of Virginia, and which, Vir-
ginians are apt to maintain. has per.
ceptibly and beneflcially affected the
tone Of business and other affairs in
that commonwealth. Downright un
scrupulousness marks the knave; a par
tial lack of scruple characterizes the
large numbers of respectable men who,
as members Of boards, as merchants,
as taxpayers, as politicians, as voters,
wink at evil practices in others, tim
idly avoid all opposition to official
wrong, and themselves commit slight
and not too conspicuous irregularities,
or give support for selfish reasons to
venal candidates for office. Such ire
spectables' are the despair of the pat
riotic men who, in our day and in a
thousand communities, are trying to
stay the tide Of that political corrup-
ton which, according to SO good a
! friend of America as John Morley,
for the moment obscures the great
democratic experiment"
1t comes to this, that "the period Of
corruption which friends of Amerl-
cans abroad are called upon so often
to apologize fora corruption which,
while bad enough, is not SO deeply
rooted as our enemies believe-can be
brought to an end only by the growth
Of sense Of honor, of scrupulousness
backed by moral bravery, upon the
part of individuals in the republic. 1t
Is not fantastic to aver that gift of
Imagination would assist some people
to lie virtuous. If a citizen should feel
that his own lack of scruple, in any
direction, was n contribution to the
corruption and dishonor of his country,
and that his personal withstanding of
temptation to do wrong was not only
an act of private virtue. but had pat
riotic uses as well-if he were con-
WINGED for instance, that his refusal to
vote as a truste for contribution to n
bribery fund or to dishonest boss
was means Of doing away with
national disgrace-if he had the i'm
agination to grasp the large bearings
of his individual action, 1t would be
easier for him to take a stand for
righteousness instead Of weakly acqui-
escing in some customary wrong. Aris-
totle's idea of the state was associa-
tlon sin a life Of felicity and noble
ness" but Christianity ought not to
have to look to paganism for ideals of
good citizenship and the making of a
righteous people.-Century.
