of all those whose respect is best worth

of course corruption in any form,
whether in the world of politics in the
world of business represents an offense
against the community of so grave a
character that the offender should be
hunted down a criminal; and the
greater his ability and success the great
er is the wrong he has committed, and
the heavier should be his punishment. The
sneering indifference to or connivance at
corruption is almost as bad as corruption
itself. Honesty, rigid honesty, is a root
virtue; and if not present no other virtue
can atone for its lack But we cannot
afford to be satisfied with the negative
virtue of not being corrupt. We need the
virtues ought not to be, and in a thor
oughly healthy community are not, of
exceptional type.
The Ideal Citizen.
"A republic can prosper although the
average man is not Intellectually brilliant.
But it cannot prosper if the average man
becomes infirm of mind and soul, if he
fears hard work, and cares only for the
easy avoidance of whatever is rough or
unpleasant; or if, although of masterful
temperament he seeks to rise in ways
that represent INSCRIPTIONS wrong to his
weaker and less fortunate fellows. Only
that man is good citizen who fears
no honest labor and who is ashamed not
to earn his livelihood in any honorable
fashion, who is thoroughly able to guard
himself from any wrong-doing by Others
but who scorns himself to do wrong to
us owes a duty to others as well as to
himself. These are the ordinary, homely,
commonplace, workaday virtues; but they
are the all-essential virtues; for they are
the virtues that in their sum make char
acter.
THE state cannot prosper unless the
average man can take care of himself;
and neither can it prosper unless the
average man realizes that, in addition to
taking care of himself, he must work
with his fellows, with good sense and
honesty and practical Acknowledgement of
obligation to the community as a whole,
for the things that vital to the in
tereSts of the community a whole.
There must be idealism; and there
must also be practical efficiency, or the
idealism will be wasted. We need sound
bodies; we need sound minds in our
bodies; but more than either mind or
body is Observation-Disclosures, into which
many elements enter, but three above all
others-courage, honesty and common
sense. If the ordinary men and women
of the republic is assured; and if in it's
citizenship rugged strength and fealty to
the common welfare are lacking, then no
brilliancy of intellect and no piled-up ma
terial prosperity will avail to save the
nation from destruction
