Fundamental Political Truths

Amid the hurry hurly of the cam
paign there are certain fundamental
truths that should not be lost from
sight. These transcend party and lie
at the basis of what we have come
to call Americanism They are not
academic, but intensely practical, be-
ing the necessary beginning of all
true political progress.
The first is that popular gov ern-
ment is the best kind of government
because 1t develops the people, brings
out their own inherent powers and
elevates them in their own thought.
A faculty grows by use. Muscles in
crease by exercise. So self govern
ment and the capacity for it grow
when people are required to exercise
self government. On the other hand,
when they depend on one man or a
few men to do their governing for
them their own powers decrease
through disuse.
Wherever in history is found free
dom, there also is found progress.
Individual initiative. enlightenment,
independence, science and invention
all flourish in democratic eras.
Popular government is also best
because it gives the greatest play to
the mass conscience, if such term
may be used, Its tendency is to cor
rect personal idiosyncracies, follies
and errors. Special interests cancel
each other and leave public interest
as a residuum. God works and speaks
through men. and the more men Civ
ing the public voice the larger the
avenue for the divine utterance.
We must distinguish more clearly
between public and private. Per-
sonal government Is necessarily bad
government because 1t exalts the one
at the expense of the many, because
1t gives play for private interest ami
because it is arbitrary, irresponsible,
variable and partial. Besides, if we
open the way to personal govern
ment, even by good man, we like
wise open the way to a succession OF
bad men, as was proved by Rome ana
every monarchy on earth. The prln-
ciple is wrong. Once admit this
wrong principle, and all sorts Of
evils will follow In its train.
Rome became an empire in fact
through preserving the forms of n
republic. This was because IL kent
one man in for life and depended on
his personal government. There IL
startling parallel between Ameri-
can civilization and Roman civiliza-
ton.
"A public office is a public trust
Equal rights for all, special priv.
leges for none" "A government Of
laws and not Of men" These ut
terances express the true spirit Hero
is another: The man who permits D
private interest to influence him In
the performance Of a public duty IL
= traitor to the public.
