To the unthinking the voice OF
the man who appeals loudly for
reform, and shouts Of the deca-
dence of the times and the nation
the calamity seem near at hano.
But the reader of history knows
that the first days of the republic
were characterized with fully as
much distrust that public officials
was openly accused of as grave
crimes against the state, and that
corruption both public and private
were as rampant then as now, tax
ing into consideration the differ
ence in population and chances for
plumber. Safety does not lie in
over-security, but there is no rea-
son for despair. Indeed, the re-
cent awakening of the public to
existing conditions is a hopeful
symptom for the increased growth,
strength and glory of the United
States.--West Coast Trade.
