the future. For century our legislative
bodies, state and national, were DOM
mated by high class lawyers. Better OPP
pOrtunities are now open to this class
and such positions are sought by low
er grade of lawyers and others who
make a business of politics. With this
change, others have come. The prob
lens before this country were never
before so complex or difficult and, in
stead of being legal and for the lawyer,
they are mainly economic, with social
and moral elements, which require a
higher official class for the solution.
Broadly trained business and literary
men, teachers and industrial leaders
should certainly be selected in such
numbers that their voices and votes
would be effective. There is a doctor
in close touch with almost every voter
in this country and it may be better
for them to assist in selecting men of
the kind indicated than to go into pub
lie life themselves.
