Mr.. Roosevelt, in the Outlook. pays
a deserved compliment to Governor
Wilson when he quotes with approval
the following sentiment expressed by
the democratic candidates:
mo one pretends to find a reason for
not voting for Mr. Wilson in the char
acter or in the ideals of Mr.. Wilson
himself. 1t is plain that he ap-
proaches public questions from the
point of view of the public interest
What he said the other day in a
speech at Atlantic City is a genuine
expression of his spirit. He was
speaking of an issue raised in that
place by lawlessness and corruption,
OF the need of moral pride, and of the
Willingness to fight evil at all COSTS
There can be-, said Mr.. Wilson, so
long as We are honest men, no quarter
with any man who deals privately or
publicly IN practice that is unright-
eous: a man who lays himself, his life,
down for that purpose, ought to die
more happy than he lived Life is a
little thing. Life lasts only little
while. and if it goes out lighted with
the torch of glory. it is better than if
i it had lasted upon a dull level thou
i sand years. That is the test Of man
hood, it is the test of humanity and
it is the glory and sign of Christianity,
that a man will lay down his life for
another. no matter what the conse-
quences may be to himself. either IN
this world or in the next
These words, especially as they
came from man just chosen to re
Teeive the highest gift in the hands OF
This party. presents a view Of public
service that should actuate all men in
public life. They are pledge of his
own purpose.
80 far as the country at large
Knows it. Mr.. Wilson'S record since
he entered public life two years ago
has not been inconsistent with his
i lofty purpose of his high character
While in Office he has been not only
the chief executive Of his state, but
also the leader Of his party in the
state"
