PURITY in POLITICS
A STRONG ARTICLE BY HON.
j. "A, BRYAN

Please allow me through your
paper to say a few words for al
common cause in which we are all
interested, stern and aggressive
integrity in the administration Of.
the affairs Of our city, county and
state. There was never time in
the history Of our country when
there was such a demand for stern
aggressive integrity. ! do not be-
lieve that the people ofour country
are any more dishonest than they
were a hundred years ago, or
worse than the average people OF
other countries, We should be
the best people on earth, our adj
vantages and environment are the
best, our progressg civilization and
wealth are the greatest; our
educational facilities are equal to
any on earth. Our government If
properly administered is the best
in my opinion Under all Of these
circumstances we should produce
the best people on earth. Why do
we read so much in every paper
we pick up about graft and dis
honesty in high places, from
people who have no need to be dis
honest, except to satisfy their
greed for money and more money!
i attribute it to several reasons;
first, the great ambition Of our
people to excel each other, we
teach in our schools, our business
houses associated with greed for
money in the minds Of most our
business men fully occupies them
to such an extent that they have
no time to attend the matters of
public interest or to accept Office,
or even attend religious services.
God help our coming generation if
our wives, mothers and sisters did
not urge the Christian spirit and
keep it alive in our homes. Mat
tiers Of state and municipalities are
too often left to men who are
failures as business men and go to
politics for a livelihood, many of
whom are negatively honest men,
but not aggressive, they are con
tent to attend TO their jobs and not
trouble about what others are do
ing. They are accommodating
and try not to offend as they want
to be reelected and hold their Jobs.
Such men are easy victims of the
shrewd CRATER, and to other in
fuences that lead to fraud. Cor
find such men easy to
get through such legislation as
they want regardless of the right
of the general public A criminal
uses such men TO escape punish
ment, aud for this cause we have a
lax administration of our laws, al
feeble resistance to aggressive
grafters, Objectionable laws put on
our statute books for the benefit of
private interest, evasion Of thelaws
are dead easy Jy strong and Jag
gressive trusts and corporations
with all the machinery Of the
government in the hands Of the
negative honest man I am speak
ing generally OF course there are
exceptions, and the exceptions are
not rare.
We have drifted in this direction
until the condition, to say the
least, is deplorable if not alarming
The shrewd CRATER who goes into
politics finds it easy to divert
public funds and have them dis
tributed III such manner as to
give him an indirect benefit, i not
a direct one. In many instances
the object for which money has
been appropriated receives a small
The champion. (Arcadia, Fla.) 1895-1911, 1906-03-29

political debts are paid, all friends
taken care of, all rebates and com
missions are paid, the county or
city has but little left. What IS
everybody's business no one at
tends to, and we drift in the same
direction. The responsibility rests
upon every citizen, we must not
only realize that he who diverts
penny from the object II was APP
propriated for and becomes in ANY
way a beneficiary, is a thief He
that uses public Office to promote
his private interest for future
Office, or any way to his advantage
to the detriment Of the public for
which his Office was intended, is a
thief. He that holds out induce
ments to an official to evade the
law for his benefit is just as guilty.
He that pays his political debts
with public funds by appointing
incompetent men to public office
as a reward for private obligation,
is not true to his trust and worse
than a thief. The negative honest
man who looks on and sees the
treasury plundered and does not
interfere for fear of injuring his
own prospects, is a common type
of official and ought to be labelled
and not voted for--he is more
dangerous than the thief Vote
for men of stern qualities, ag-
gressively honest men. We have
plenty of them they are not look
ing for Office, but they should be
induced to accept.
Another great cause for this con-
dition is that the builders of the
public conscience have been negli-
gent of their duty, they have been
lukewarm, and not aggressive
enough. The public conscience is
the most important factor in our
government. Our court houses,
city halls and state houses are
paralyzed without it. Every in
dividual has part to do in the
building of this most important
structure, and each Individual is a
workman. None of us can escape
this responsibility-some people
call It public opinion. There
seems now a general awakening
Of the public conscience, a demand
for cleaner things, aggressive
integrity. A spirit of investigation
seems to prevail in our whole
country. Let us not in this neck
of the woods fail to get in the
procession, for our public con-
science needs Strengthening. Let
our builders take courage; let the
press and pulpit frame large and
strong; don't be afraid of in
on private interests, or
drawing off the patronage; the
majority Of people want things
done the right way, SO hammer
strong on that line; the people will
follow and you can find lots of
willing hands to help build this
structure.
/ do not desire to be understood
as trying to get up reform move
ment, for that is the weapon OF
too many smooth politicians to
cover up their graft or to get IN
office. I oply want to call the at
tention Of those that are already
reformed to the duty they owe to
the affairs Of city, county and
state. Don't trade your influence,
your vote for any private interest;
use It for the best interest of your
city, your county, your state; use
It for a better administration Of
public affairs A majority Of
people want cleaner politics, honest
