country than any other. 1t counts for
more today than it used to and is be-

those who have to do with our repre-
sentative government. No more strik-
ing example can be pointed out than
the moral caliber of the presidential
candidates Of the two great political
parties. Not only do they stand out as
men of ability but as men Of upright
lives Many senators and congressman
have been killed politically through
their greed and more and more it is
coming to the point when such men will
be placed aside. A nation that makes
for character in its rulers and law
makers has little to fear.
