one MANS moral Judgment tells him

One mans moral judgment tells him
that it is deadly sin for our Govern
ment to be in partnership with the dis
tilIeries and breweries. Another mans
moral judgment, argues the Washing
ton Post, conyinces him that it would
be morally, politically and economical
~ abhorrent for the Government to
neglect TO lay heavy taxes on the
liquor business. In State and munici-
pal affairs the same division of moral
sentiment exists, and there is con-
science in all of,it. Only the narrow
minded bigot contends or believes that
all the honesty and patriotism and phi
lanthropy are on his side.

Says the Chicago Journal: AS a
matter of fact, there is much less I'M
rest and discomfort in the United
States to-day than there has ever been
in any country since the dawn Of his
tory, The smoulderlng volcano of an
archy of which the sensationalists
warn us to beware is as much myth
as the devourlng sea-serpent. Though
no man ever saw sea-serpent, though
there never has been a sea-serpent since
man appeared on earth, it is almost
universally believed that such crea-
lures exist There is ga little more
foundation than that for the delusion
about misery and discomfort in the
United States, but not much.

The great body of American men
running railroads and managing large
business enterprises are not un
worthy of the trust reposed in them,
maintains the New York Tribune
They are able energetic, conscientious
men, living up to the lights which they
possess as well as most of their fellow
citizens. Their chief trouble has been
a narrowness of vision and a failure,
in common with the rest of the Ameri-
cans people, to think things out clearly
and then abide by their thinking, re
CARELESS of prevailing habits. They
nave partaken Of the easygoing temper
of the country. Our business, from
that of the grocer who sells tallow fol
butter to that of the railroad manager
who owns coal stock, had fallen into
loose ways.
