Morris tribune., 1906-10-27

| William Allen White. known and IN
seen who deal
with him through the vast and invisi-
BILE compact we call life. So if the coun-
try is to be improved politically he
thinks it will do little good to begin
reforming presidents, senators, etc. If
| there is treason in the senate it is the
same kind that is found among the
people, and it will do little good to
show the people the kind of rascals
they have hired unless we show the
people they are the rascals who hired
them" Nevertheless he concludes that
we are merely in hallway which soon
must open into a wider field and at
least that politics are no worse than
they were generation ago. Our anti
Quated system of politics through con-
versions has got to go. He believes
that the movement for direct primaries
is bound to prevail and that it will take
the American people long step nearer
the real government of and by the
people.
