POLITICAL ETHICS.

Some Good Thoughts Suggested by T.
c. II. Bayerhoffer.
Sometimes we come to trying
times in politics and wonder if
they are devoid of ideals. We
see parties gather in convention,
pass very fair resolutions, nomi-
nate some good men. Then
comes upon us the idea that the
man behind the gun can be everv-
thug in war, why not the man
behind the candidates in politics?
This reflection raises the ques-
ton, why were these men nomi-
mated? Aud herein lies the
cloud which throws a shadow
over the patriotic heart.
la looking through a ticket
nominated to the controlling
passion beyond we too often see
the meauer traits in man pre-
dominate. We see patriotism
Knocked and virtue insulted,
Here too our most sacred duties
are treated so flippantly that
many an otherwise good man
simply islands ia ' for the sake
| of being called good fellow,
and to foster tritling ambition.
/ But has the man who moves the
pawns really fooled the people
| think not. And vet they will
generally vote for the ticket.
1t looks distracting, but still
there are ethics in politics.
There is a certain coersiveness
in republican institutions which
often makes men act against
their better judgement. 1t is
under the stress of such circum.
stances that mans conduct often
bellies his in er aud nobler self.
But the most despisable politi.
clan Is quite as anxious as the
pureSt statesman to present tC
the voting public an excellent
platform. And so, although the
motive is very different the result
Is much the same-a recognition
and cultivation of ideals in the
people. Thus it comes to pass
that the means employed by the
corrupting element becomes q
source of publication and re-
generation.
Whenever men Of good charac'
ter and ability are placed in
nomination'the fact is especially
exploited and in this way the
general morality and charactei
of the community is elev ated.
The fact that these men offer
lack in true manhood a"d mora
courage and so are mere figure
heads in a way, does not blot on
the sustaining effect of thei
more apparent qualities.
So too the man who busie

The talk that is Just now go-
ing the rounds in reference to
the probability of an extra SEES
sion of the Legislature to put in
effect law prohibiting free
passes and reduced freight rates
is rather premature. AS yet we
have seen notice of but one mem
Der of the legislature, who has
returned his pass TO the railroad
company. The record of the
Legislature last winter along rail-
road Legislation was not such as
to inspire us with the hope that
any better results could be eX-
pected on those issues were the
Legislature convened in extra
session. We would suggest that
the question of railroad legisla-
ton be deferred until the people
have another opportunity tC
choose their representatives
Those who were faithful last
winter TO their trusts doubtless
will be returned and those whC
betrayed the trusts of their con
stiuents will be left at home.

The Good Roads Matter Boiled Down.
r. B. HILL, Secretary,

When any particular interest in the United States
wants anything at the hands of the National Con-
gress it gets its forces together in something like
disciplined organization, and goes after the law
makers in sincere, earnest, persistent effort-and
succeeds. And so it will have to be with the move
ment for National Aid to Good Roads. The neces.
sity for improved highways clearly presented
in the Senate Hearings of last year see Senate Doc.
ument No. 2o4, Second Session, Fifty Eighth Con-
gress which any one can get by writing to his S.
senator] that the Senate Committee at once made
favorable report on the BrownlowLa bill.
That was the result of organized effort, but much
of the work must now be done over again with q
new Congress-.
Of course, if the farmers believe the highway
conditions to-day are favorable to their interest and
need no improvement, there is no reason why they
should take hold of the matter. If worshippers of
rural churches or rural people worshiping in town
are satisfied with present highway conditions, they
will be inactive in the matter. If school officers and
parents feel that the roads as they now are furnish
pleasant and easy going between the home and the
school house, they will not bother with petitions to
Congress or personal letters to their Senators and
Representatives urging the enactment of legislation
to make better roads. If merchants believe bad
TOaQS increase CFaQc anu facilitate progress du uo"
veopment, they, too will sit silent and do nothing.
If lawyers and doctors and mechanics and trademen
believe that bad roads reduce the cost of living that
bad roads are not tax everything they eat from
the farm then their voices will not be raised in fur
thering national aid to improved highways.
If these be the views and feelings of the people,
Brownlow and Latimer had as well quit the propo-
sition But if these interests favor better roads,
then they must be up and doing. The movement
to succeed must be supported in every conceivable
way. Public road meetings should be held in every
city, town, village and hamlet, resolutions indors-
ing the movement should be adopted and sent to
both Senate end House, personal letters should be
written to Senators and Representatives and all other
methods adopted to impress the necessity for nation
al aid to road improvement. 1t is ridiculous to
suppose that the gentlemen supporting itn Congress
can put it through unsupported by emphatic, or
ganized, concerted demand from the people. We
suggest that public spirited man in every COM
munity and neighborhood lead off in the matter.
The man who does most to secure improved high.
ways to the people will live in the hearts of his
countrymen.
