Iae Mora Law.

Andrew Hamilton, the life insurance
lobbyist, declares that Of the $500, 900
expended by him in his lobby work,
not one dollar was expended con-
trary to the moral law. 1t Is fortu-
nate for the country that the Hamu-
ton idea OF morals does not generally
prevail. The idea that the use OF
money to debsuch legislatures and
corrupt judges Is not contrary to NOR.
ais would, It generally Accepted, make
government farce and reduce the
people 10 abjsct slavery. There was
a time when many thoughtful men
believed that the Hamilton code OF
morals posvailed generally, but re.
cent developments prove that, after
all a majority OF the people are hon.
est and will insist that public bus1-
ness be honestly cared for. u requlr-
ed a long time, and multiplied perse
cutions, to arouse the people to a
realizing sense Ct the fact that the
hamilton c)de OF morals prevailed
in high financial circles, but when
they were finally aroused they took
speedy action with the result that a
great many men who had long posed
as statesmen. patriots and defenders
OF national honor" were exposed to
public contempt. The Hamilton code
CT morals will be ably defended by the
Amalgamated Association OF Porch
Climbers, the Burglars Benevolent
and Protective Association, the
Sandbaggers" Mutual Association,
and kindred organizations. But it will
be scored by men who believe In the
moral code handed down upon S1nla
and who are trying TO live upright
and p1re lives.
