are bad the people are to blame.
If the laws are not enforced the
people are responsible, for ma
jority of the people make the laws.
The will of the people crystallizes
in the form of statutes, and the
laws represent the sentiment of the
majority. And when the laws are
ignored-when officers sworn to en-
force the laws permit certain stat
utes to remain ineffective, it is
done under the plea that this is
what the people want. If the peo-
pie want good government they can
have it. But they must want it
with All active desire, and they
must insist on having it. If they
really want it, want it bad enough
to work for it, as they would work
for anything else they wanted, they
will get it. But too many are in
different, and this indifference of
voters is the greatest menace to a
republican form of government.
Arouse the voters to an understand
ing of the danger, convince them
that they are personally anc direct
ly concerned. get them moving
once. and they are invincible. But
while most people are honest they
are inactively so, while the vicious
minority are perniciously active.
It is not enough to be merely hon.
est; the good citizen should be ag-
gressive in his opposition to graft
and corruption. Law bearers have
nothing to fear from passive oppo-
sition, but they must yield to ac-
tive and aggressive fighters. We
need more fighters in the army of
peace. We must fight for every
thing that is worth having, we
must fight against everything bad.
The farmer must not only be per-
sonally opposed to weeds, but he
must cut them down and make an
active warfare against them, or his
crops will be ruined. In govern
mental affairs the same relations ex-
ist between good and evil as be-
tween the grain that must be sown
and cared for, and thistles and
weeds that will grow anywhere un-
less destroyed. Grain and weeds
cannot be grown simultaneously in
the same place.
There are no necessary evils in
government. 1t is the abuses of
government about which all good
citizens have a right to complain.
Those who have profited by the
abuses are usually the loudest in
the denunciation of those who point
out abuses in public affairs.
In the best governed city the
good people are tremendously ac-
tive and the vicious notably quiet.
In what is perhaps the worst gov
erned city in the Union the good
citizens are deplorably passive in
their goodness and the vicious are
ordinarily active. And yet sup
pose the proportion of good citizens
in each of these cities is about the
same. If the honest voters in the
badly governed city would assert
themselves they could have local
government of which they would
be justly proud.
While the people are to blame
where public abuses exist, public
officials who win at the violation of
law are nevertheless culpable.
Good government depends more up
on the man behind the law than up
on the law itself. The law is mere
ly the weapon for officials to use,
and without officials laws would be

war, pestilence and all other calam-
tiles combined, corruption in time
Of peace has undermined a score.
How can one live for his city or
state. you ask. There never was a
time when the need of patriotic
men in public affairs was greater
than now. We need more men ac-
tuated alone by the public good and
fewer of those who are in position
for revenue only. l do not refer to
those in public office alone, for one
does not have to hold public office
to serve his country. It is just as
essetinal to good government for
private citizens to discharge the
civic responsibility resting upon
them as it is for the faithful carry
ing out Of official duties in the pub
lie service. The people can over
throw civic evils whenever they
want to. and get just as good gov
ernment as they deserve or as bad
as they permit it to become.
If a government anywhere neg
lects the people it is because the
people first neglect the government.
The law abiding people are in the
majority, and there is hardly a COM
munity in the county of which this
cannot be said. They are usually
quiet, tho, while the lawless are 50
vociferous as to deceive many as to
their number. A majority of the
people are honest and want good
government, but do not as q rule
work for it, while the minority are
perniciously active all the time.
The lawless stand on the streets anc
talk tor their side, while the Law
abiding are timid and unobtrusive
A dozen law breakers can make
more noise than five hundred Law
abiding citizens, but they do mo-
count for much against the unitet
efforts of the law abiding. The!
are always active, however, Will,
the average good citizen become
active only occasionally. They sur
round an official and sing to hin
the siren song Of the good polite
of serving them instead of the pub
, lie. 1t is always easier for an off
cial to serve the ''gang" instead 0
; serving the people. Unless tn
, official be strong he will be le
: astray by their alluring promises
= When the lawless get a bad ma
, in office they support him in all tn
E evil that he does; but when the la,
+ abiding get man intoffice they al

. him to fight the battle withot
S their active aid. That is the tro,

Willmar tribune., 1909-07-14

There is more aggressive rotten
ness and less aggressive patriotism
in all large cities than anywhere
else. If the patriotism could be
made as aggressive as the rotteness
the problem of good municipal gov
ernment would be solved by the
people taking the government in
their own hands. If corruption ex-
lists anywhere the people are to
blame. If corruption is to be
eradicated the people alone can do
it. What is needed is more of the
kind Of patriotism that fights for
city, state and country every day ;
the kind Of patriotism that will go
into battles Of peace as readily as
into the battles Of war.
