Dangerous Opponents of Real Reform.

On the other hand, the wild preachers
of unrest aud discomfort, the wild agi-
tators against the entire existing order,
the men who act crookedly, whether
because of sinister design or from
mere puzzle headedness, the men who
preach destruction without proposing
any substitute for what they intend TO
destroy or who propose a substitute
which would be far worse than the ex-
listing evils-a all these men are the most
dangerous opponents OF real reform.
If they get their way they will lead the
people into Il deeper pit than any into
which they could fall under the present
system. III they fail TO get their way
they will still Go incalculable harm by
provoking the kind Of reaction which
in its revolt against the senseless evil
of their teaching would enthrone more
securely than ever the very evils which
their misguided followers believe they
are attacking.
More important than aught else is
the development of the broadcast SYM
patty OF man for man. The welfare
tiller of the soil. upon these depend the
welfare Of the entire country. Their
good is not TO be sought in pulling
down others But their good must be
the prime object OF all our statesman
ship.
Materially we must strive TO secure n
broader economic opportunity for all
men, so that each shall have a better
chance TO show the stuff Of which he
Is made. Spiritually and officially we
must strive TO bring about clean living
and right thinking. We appreciate
that the things OF the body are impor-
tant. But we appreciate also that the
things Of the soul are UNNECESSARILY
more important. The foundation stone
Of national life Is and ever must ie
the high Individual character Of the
average citizen.
