THIRD DODGE LECTURE
Interesting Discourse on "Party Spirit as iIindrancc to Good titi- Acnslip-t Large At-
 tendance,

Ambassador James Bryce delivered the third of the Dodge lectures last night b q crowded house in Laplpson Lyccum His subject was. Party spirit as Hindrancc to Good Citizen
 ship, The last of the lectures will be given in fhe same place tonight.
 The lecturer began by asking Nhcth- CT party and party spirit, which had bcen so generally condemned by philosophers and historians, are per nicious to good government and dc
 served the ensures they had received. Party spirit was accused of binding mon to the truth. Of melting them to strife and hatred, Of substituting the interest of i section for tho interest of tho whole nation. of being tho source of consprarlcs and however, held it to bc good thins and a necessary thing, If government Was to be carried on at all Such philosophers who, like Ed statesmen, had usually taken middle course. commenting party Is 50 far as ii honestly advocated principles and policies deemed to be for the interest of the state, disappearing il when it became q faction careless of doctrine and fighting for victory The lecturer then proceeded to malyze party spirit, indicating the tendencies In human nature out of which it sprang, and showing how a party grows up lt must be recognized as being a necessity in large self governing com munties Men who agree in their views of public policy arc obliged 10 organ izc in order to make their views pre- vail. in order to recommend certain persons for legislative or administra- tive office, possibly in order 10 provide means of selecting candidates These were legitimate objects, and If parties existed solely for the sake of promoting certain views party spirit

Passion and principle were often in an inverse ratio Yet, sometimes, even when there was little passion there was also little interest in the doctrines, and the party held together from habit as q concrete mass. History ia full of in- stances to show how tho spirit of party may be so diverted from it's original purpose as to become a mere instinct of allegiance to leader or to
