SaDS the United States Govern
ment Shall Never Become
the Government of a PIu-
toCTaCU, Nor Shall It Ever
Become a Government
Of a Mob"

The cornerstone Of the Republic lies in
our treating each man on his worth as
a man, paying no heed 20 mis- creed, his
birthplace, or his occupation, asking
whether he IabOrs with head or hand;
not whether he is rich or poor
asking only whether he acts deceuuy
and honorably In the various relations
OF his life. whether ne behaves well 10
his family, 20 his ueighbors, 10 the
state. We base our regard for each
man on the essentials and not the acci-
dents. We judge him not by his pro-
fession. but by his deeds, by his con
duct, not by what he has acquired OF
this worlds goods Other republics have
fallen, because the citizens gradually
grew to consider the interests of a
class before the interests OF the whole;
for when such was the case IL mat
/ tered little whether II was the poor who
plundered the rich or the rich who eE-
plotted the poor; in either event the end
OF the republic was at hand. We are
resolute in our purpose not 70 fan into
such d pit.
This great republic Of ours shall never
become the government OF plutOc-acy,
and II shall never become the govern
menI or mob God willing. II shall
remain what our fathers who founded it
meant II 10 be-a government in which
each man stands on his worth as a man,
where each is given the largest per-
sOnal liberty consistent with securing
the Well-DeiHs Of the whole, and where,
so far IS in us lies. we strive contIn-
ually To secure for each man such
equality Of opportunity that in the strife
OF life he may have a fair chance 10
show the stuff that IS in him. We are
proud Of our schools and Of the trained
intelligence they give our children the
opportunity 10 acquire. But what we
care for most is the character Of the
average man: for we believe that If the
average Of character in the individual
citizen is sufficiently high. If he DOS
sesses those qualities which make him
worthy Of respect in his family life
and in his work outside, as well as the
qualities which fit him for success in
the hard struggle OF actual existence
that If such Is the character of our in
dividuaI citizenship, there IS literally
no height Of triumph Unattainable in
this vast experiment Of government BY,
Of, and for a free people.
