Let Us Get Together

Editor Independent: The complaint
is often made that reformers abuse
old parties too freely. The right to
expose corruption and injustice is, per-
haps, the greatest bulwark of liberty,
and the patriot is confronted with no
sterner duty, perhaps, than to show
the wrongs imposed upon the people.
If the people, being deceived, seem 10th
to receive knowledge of actual grIcv-
ances, then the more urgent bcomes
the duty to impress them with that
knowledge. Constructive statesman
ship is good in its place; but we first
had to be made to detest the rule OF
George III; to detest the institution OF
slavery before setting up new orders
Of things. The destructive policy ex.
hibited by the French Revolution and
perhaps every revolution was first In
order Of time. After this comes the
time for constructive statesmanship.
Statesmen may theorize and build air
castles in advance of crisis, just az
Russia conceived plans by which to
suddenly conquer Japan, but policies
must be shaped, to great extent, by
the demands of the hour. To impress
the people with the dark, loathsome
crimes committed against them even IN
their name. is to unite them in an ir.
resistible demand for justice and lib.
erty. but too much philosophy and
state policy just now will divide US
into populists, single takers, prohibl-
tionists. etc. Let us for the time, cast
aside all minor questions and unite to
dethrone iniquity in high places, and
trust to common sense, common justice
and common patriotism for brighter
future. No matter how long we may
wait or how much we may theorize, We
can at last do no better than to rely
upon the whole people in the true spirit
of democracy. which spirit is the soul
of the Declaration of Independence
which the plutocrats so much hate.
No plan. no policy for good, can avail
much till the peoples friends get into
| power. God himself might give us q
perfect law on tables OF gold. and yer
| il would be worthless in the hands
of its enemies The aii-important thing
is to dethrone wrong and to place upon
| the throne the common justice, the
common sense of the people; and Wnen
/ the peoples will is enthroned a prop
or way will be found to accomplish
orr ends: but unless the will is in the
throne no plan nor policy will be q
much value to us. I have a theory
which under certain conditions might
be fruitful of much good, but 1t IS idlt
