outgrowth of this moral awakening.
Men do not believe less in parties than
they used to, but they are more strong
~ impel1ed than formerly to regard
the party as a means to an end rather
than an end in itself. They are COM
ing to believe that the best service
that one can render to his party is not
to allow the party ito sacrifice the per-
nanent welfare of the country to the
temporary interests of a party organi-
cation.
To this growing group of disinter-
ested patriots look for large labor in
the work that lies before us. Nor is it
entirely a matter for the future; we
are already enjoying the fruits Of their
toll. If you ask me to name the one
factor which more than any other
accounts for the world wide revolu-
ton of which we are now a part,
reply that it is this moral awakening
this stirring Of the conscience Of the
world. The conscience is the most po-
tent force Of which we have knowledge.
Tell me that 1t is law that makes men
law q hundred are made honest by con-
science.
I now come to the third proposition.
namely, that the worlds advance in
the science Of government Is as great
as its advance in education and in
morals. and it would be strange if
with a larger intelligence there were
not q better understanding Of the the
DRY of government and 1t would be
notifying to US II. with better un-
derstanding Of government, there were
not a larger faith In the principles Of
popular government. And 1t would be
strange. too. it. with q growing con-
ception Of brotherhood, there were not
a clearer recognition Of the rights Of
man.
4 X
A century ago JEFFERSON sald tnat
there were just two parties in every
country, and that wherever speech was
free these two parties would manifest
themselves. He described them not by
party names, but by words that perma-
nsntly 'symbolized the opposing spirits
that animate parties. One he described
as an aristocratic party that would
naturally draw to itself those who do
net believe In the people and who do
not trust them, and the other as
democratic party that would naturally
draw to itself those who do believe in
the people and do trust them. Jeffer-
son. with that wisdom that put him in
q class by himself among the states
men, thus drew the only line that can

not heretofore been Interested in re-
forms But the word reform is not
used in any narrow or restricted sense;
It is not confined to political reforms.
Reform is change for the better, and
reformer is one who is trying to
improve conditions. There are. in fact,
but three classes of people who are
not reformers, and it would be re-
Election upon you to assume that you
are in any one of the three classes.
The first class contains those who
lack intelligence-who do not know
that there are wrongs to be righted
and abuses TO be removed. In the sec
ond class will be found those who
know that reform is possible. but who
are so hard hearted and Indifferent to
the welfare of their fellows that they
do not desire the reforms secured. The
third and last class is made up of
those who have a pecuniary interest
in existing abuses-who have their
hands in other peoples pockets and
do not want to be disturbed

years ago emperor Wlluaul, SpcdhAHB
to the naval cadets at Mirwig, told
them that. in crises that might arise
the country must depend upon them,
but that it could not do SO unless their
brains were clear and their nerves

pea1ed to them to join total abstinence

spiration the total abstinence societies
OF the British navy.
But there is another phase Of this
moral awakening to which I must call
your attention, namely, the change in
the point of view from which men are
considering public questions. Seventeen
years ago those most active in behalf
OF reforms were, for the most part,
need of remedial legislation. This deep
personal interest was manifested every
where, and it is not strange; we were
then at the end of the era Of falling
prices. For nearly a quarter Of CEN
fury the dollar had been rising in it's
purchasing power and the price
years the money owner and the money
changer had been drawing In an un-
earned increment and tho world was
being forced into bankruptcy. 1t was
not a national peril only, but men
ace to the world.
Three times the leading nations had
everywhere admitting the seriousness
of the situation. the only question
being, How shall we escape? That was
the situation then; now it is all
changed. An unprecedented increase
in the production Of a precious metal
has made such an enormous addition
money that conditions are now re-
versed.
The purchasing power of the dollar
instead OF rising is falling; the price
level instead of falling Is rising; the
world instead Of going into bankruptcy
is coming out. If you are paying
debt contracted sixteen years ago you
are paying 1t in dollars that will not,
on the average. purchase more than
two-thirds as much as the dollars that
you borrowed. With this relief from
the grinding process there has come
an Independence that was not then
known-that was scarcely then posi-

Some reformers become so interested
I'm one reform that they will not par
ticipate in the securing of others which
they regard of less Importance. and
some-honest people. too-when they
find what they regard as a panacea,
Of other reforms, but. when their re-
form is rejected, desire conditions to
become worse and worse and worse
and even help to make them worse
in the hope that the people will at
last I'm desperation accept what they
now reject. I am not willing to in
ing to help to make any condition
worse. no matter how sure I may be
that out Of that worse condition good
may finally come. Human judgment is
not sufficiently unerring to enable us
70 measure with certainty the result
OF the acts Of others or even the result
Of our own actions. l am restrained
by the fear that II 1 help to make a
condition worse I may not afterward
be able to make it better. 1 have put
my theory into the form OF an Illus
tration; II I ever get it into my head
that can raise q man from the dead,
I shall not kill q man in order to ex-
pertinent with him-I shall try it upon
a dead man.
But am not going to advocate any
particular reform. As I stated in the
beginning. my purpose Is to encour-
age reforms and to arouse the indiffer-
eut to activity. And reformers need
encouragement. When une sees an
svil clearly he wonders why all do NJ
Bee It.; when he finds a remedy that
seems sufficient he wonders why all
do not accept it. AS great reforms
come slowly 1t is not strange that
those who labor earnestly should some
hines become discouraged when they
Dec their hopes deferred. The great
rsfoEmers Of history have had their
hours Of darkness and OF doubt.

in the degree of interest which people
feel in reforms. Reformers are all the
way from just above freezing up to
boiling point. When a reformer is just
above freezing he must be handled
very tenderly. for with one little drop
in the temperature he is out of the
class; but when he is at boiling point
he is at work. One Of the chief pur-
poses of speaking on reforms is to
raise the temperature and put the re-
former to work among his fellows. 1t
Ii easier to increase the zeal of one
who believes in reform than it is to
convert one to a reform who is really
against it-just as in political cam
paigns 1t IL easier to get out the vote
than IL IL to convert men to the party.
The second difficulty Is even greater,
viz, the difaculty in securing co-opera-
select from the audience ten persons,
recommended to me as the most ad-
vanced reformers of your community,
and found upon inquiry that the ten
agreed upon the desirability of ten re-
FORMS not half of them would agree
as to which reform is most important
to the relative Importance of the ten
reforms. Because a reformer is hon
est he is apt to be obstinate, and be-
cause he is conscious that he is dis
Interested he is not prone to compro-
mise.
