For Good Government.

we call the want of proper public
spirit" Men who know what is right
and for the public good, but who have
not the courage to speak out, in plain
language, are deserving OF only con-
tempt.
A Good Government League, there
fore, ought to be teacher of and a hard
fighter for political morality. 70 do
good it must be absolutely 1on-parti-
san, non-~sectarian, and the ace ques-
ton should never enter it.
Such a league can do vast good by
discussing public questions; by its
members encouraging n another;
by encouraging and helping those who
prefer right to wrong, out whose back
bones are weakly; by attending the
primaries and seeing that good men
are nominated for office; by giving
young men a rallying place, and teach
ing them to stand together for what
is right; by Strengthening the moral
courage of those who are afraid to
speak out, until they know how the
other fellows stand; by letting the
forces of evil know that there is a
large united body of men, who, ire
spective of party, are always ready to
make a charge on the enemy
You must remember that if you do
much good your work be reform
atory, and often create an cutlery. 1t
will seem destructive, like the farmers
pillow, because it will rip up weeds n
thistles, but will be the herald of a
good harvest, none the less. If you
would lead, you must go before, n
be willing to take abuse. If you would
be looked up to, you must stand high
yourselves.
At this time here in New Mexico, a
notable struggle is going on between
those who are fighting for better gov
eminent than we have ever had, and
with no hope or desire for personal
gain and men who stand for a contin-
uance of about as contemplate and
unworthy methods in government as
any people IN the United States were
ever cursed with.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-02-08

That is putting it plainly but it is
a deplorable fact.
Good men who band together FOR
the n purpose of securing better gov
eminent, whether they call themselves
a Good Government League, or by
some other name, can do great good,
both by fighting the evils which con
front us, and by encouraging our pub
lie servants who are courageously try
ing to do their duty. If it is a good
