years have taught the people that wealth
is not success, and that money does not
prove that its possessor is either a good
or great man. The newspaper and the
magazine have done much to shatter the
golden calf, and because everyone reads
these mediums of publicity, the work has
been accomplished quickly. The popuIlst
envy OF wealth as such has given place
to a wholesome American scorn OF wealth
Ill gotten, and with this scorn has come
a cheerful indifference to the power OF
Doodle. The Standard Oil with its millions
could not prevent the measures aimed at
its evil practices from passing the Kansas
legislature by overwhelming majorities.
The money of the railroads could not kill
the maximum rate bill in Missouri-the
first bill Of its kind that has passed the
legislature since the granger days Of 70.
Money is losing It's political power. And
as the power OF money in politics goes
down respect for the law comes up There
have been times in the history OF the world
when the law was more Of terror than
Il is today to the poor and the ignorant;
but in this country there has never been a
time before this when the law has reached
into the high places with such a stern
hand as It is reaching today. Not
merely have United States senator's been
indicted for common crimes. but the men
who make United States senators-men
from the class that has been holding law
makers, state and national In fee simple
the trust magpates and their serving
men, are being hailed into court for al
legged violations OF law. Business method
and motive are probably no more greedy
and dishonorable now than they have been
since the organization OF commerce. But
the people are acquiring moral sense and
moral courage TO restrain the greed and
punish the dishonor OF business. without
respect TO worldly station OF the business
offenders; and all this. too. without anger,
without vicious envy, without malicious
class feeling. but with a fine spirit Of
American fair play and love OF equity that
proves the stability OF the movement.
Fairly Economical Government.

written. It costs the people $40 head TO

In the average American community. II
is the amount paid for direct taxes. At
$40 a head, the direct taxes collected in
| this nation would amount to $500 900.
| The expenditures of the federal govern
| ment last year were over $5ss 100000, and
this year will probably run over 500, 200, 900.
/ This represents the indirect taxes OF the
people. Adding the direct to the indirect
| taxes there arises a sum OF nearly 81 800
| 100000 This sum Is handled by the public
servants OF America every year. And the
number OF men who spend It for us is
comparatively small. Every citizen knows
personally some public servant, and gem
orally that public servant is poor. II is
notorious that Office holding does not pay.
Not one officeholder in a thousand has
made much money while IN office And yet
the little group Of ohicials that run
this country in the various local,
state and federal governments han
die nearly billion and half
OF dollars every year! The loss from
defaulting treasurers yearly is so small
that II can hardly be reckoned. Padded
payrolls are almost impossible under mod
ern methods OF bookkeeping, and the com
petitive system makes It impossible to get
away with any appreciable fraction OF this
treasure without detection from the unsuc-
cessful bidders. II may be contended that
much OF the public money is spent unwisely
and without weli-directed purpose, but il
may not be proved that much Of II Is stolen
or spent dishonesty.
Gist of it All.
And the gist Of 1t all is: That as the
people grow honest their government VIII
grow honest II civilization In the United
States means anything, II popular educa-
ton generates moral energy, II freedom OF
speech and OF the press makes a people
brave and wise, II open Bible improves
the actual conduct OF a people instead Of
teaching them mere creeds and catechisms,
then the American people should be grow
ing more nearly honest and shrewder IN
their judgments The effect OF this moral
and spiritual growth upon the public service
is inevitable. Like master like man And
II one has any confidence In his country, II
he believes in the development OF the race
and In the progress OF mankind. he must
