has LITTLE FAITH In CARS WORD.



Tuesday prints an inkerview on the
proposed Russian parliament, with An
drew d. White, former ambassador TO
Russia. Mr.. White IL spending the
summer at Gloucester. He SAID In
part:
while CONCESSIONS made by the
car are considerably short OF hopes,
they appear to be the beginning OF
what may prove constitution suitable
to the empire. never believed IN
establishing q system of absolute uni
versal suffrage throughout the empire

where ignorance Is the rue with the
peasantry would be fatal. the ma

What would seem first to be needed

He knows almost nothing OF Russia,

terly dependent on the members On MS

There Is no denying that the con-
sdtution foreshadowed In the reports
which have come to Us thus far Is
very imperfect First OF ALL abso-
lutte autocracy remains until there is
no guarantee for carrying out what

reassuring. The country borders On
state OF moral anarchy. Existing
conditions have given birth to pes
simists and an impetus to pessi mism'
The love of money, greed for gain,
ambition for place and power have
almost become paramount with many
10 every relation and sphere OF life'
Indeed, SO great and general is the
love Of the things mentioned that the
highest and greatest have in many in
stsnces been affected thereby, and
.graft" has been detected and expos
cd where its existence was least sup
posed.
The high ideals that once existed
in politics have disappeared and the
very term is now associated with
things vensl, corrupt. In fact, many
good men look upon the politics OF
to-day as one Of the most csrrupting
agencies in existence ami turn from
It with aversion. In the public mind
politics is Intimately associated with
venality and official position and is
but another opportunity to work
i "qraft. Once held 10 be sacred
trust and so executed it has, in a
measure, lost the honor it possessed
and the sanctity thrown around it,
and justly or not, Is regarded suspi-
ciously.
In commercial life, no less than in
politics. a similar condition exists.
The high standard of commercial
homer which once prevailed among
us, and to which our people justly
pointed with commendable pride, has
been unduly asssiled and the very
foundation of commercial integrity
seriously impaired. Men no longer
hesitate to employ doubtful methods
and resort to questionable means.
Ths greed for gain has ruthlessly
stiHed all scruples Of conscience, bid
defiance to the power Of public opin-
ion and orystalized in the orgsnza-
ton OF great trusts and monopolies

cessful way OF multiplying returns

Want Of confidence in the honesty

F--.uen tt.ye become suspicious Of
each other and are ready 10 impugn
the motives OF the most upright and
disinterested. That firm faith in men
which once entered so largely into
the life Of our pc 'ple and formed in
great measure the basis OF every
business transaction has given place
to q method in business, which,
while 1t expresses prevailing moral
condition, reflects upon private hon.
or, as well as the commercial inte-
gritty OF the people. Now, the mot
tots: '.In business treat every man as
q rascal"
Even the church has not escaped
infection, and her influence has been
impaired. She suffers In two-fold
wsy--infection within and loss of
influence without.
And thus the widespread. the far.
reaching commercial spirit has per.
meated the political, moral and spirit.
ual life of the country, and corrupt
ed and cursed each. To that spirit
we attribute the prevalence OF con-
Stunning graft.
But we have not lost faith in the
integrity Of all men. Pure and true
men may still be found, and the
church will yet in the power Of her
great head cast the evil out OF our
midst and triumph in her mission.
The ride will turn and that speedily,
we trust. -Palatka Times. Herald.
