Honest Men Wanted.
Editor of The Banner:

Editor of The Banner:
The writer disclaims any inten-
ton to discount the political eau
Gus as a practical means in practi-
cal politics. To the contrary, he
believes that, under the existing po-
litical conditions, the caucus is a
necessary means-perhaps, as cor
rect to say, a necessary evil. How
ever, the writer can only express
long-distance opinion, for he never
sat in a political caucus in his life.
That there are honest men in
politics today no one doubts. But
that that number is in the minority
is equally true. Recent State and
municipal Investigations reveal a
very discouraging view of the situa-
ton. For example, the Lorimer mat
ter in Illinois, the police investiga-
ton now going on in New York city,
and similar evils loudly limited at
right in our own home city, Balti-
more. Such revelations make the
honest people wonder if graft and
stealing are the order of the day
everywhere. Is is possible that
such things are carried on in our
own home communities? We know
that violation of law and crime ex-
| list in every town. Does it do so
on payment of certain price?
For one thing the standard OF
honesty must be fixed. At present
there seems to be two standards
one for the citizens and one for the
| public official. Too often the man
in politics seems to adopt the dou-
BILE standard. AS a citizen at home
he is honest, honorable, upright, land
Christian in all his relations and
dealings. But in public office, he
is squirmy, uncertain and equivocal,
particularly on public moral issues.
In public office man will quible
and compromise over matters, when
in private life he would not once
think of doing such things. AS para
doxical as it sounds, it is neverthe-
less true, that an honest citizen
often makes a dishonest politician.
Some timber will warp after it
is Kindred. It was not we'll
enough matured before it was cut;
had not gotten its growth. Timber
that is well grown and we'll sea-
soned will not warp after 1t Is
properly dried.
If the political caucus is the kiln
where our political timber must be
dried, then let the people insist
that properly grown and well sea-
soned timber shall come from that
kiln. The man must be so matured
in honesty before he goes into the
kiln, and so thoroughly seasoned
there, that when he comes out and
is built into our official structure,
he will not warp into dishonesty, mo-
matter what the strain and pressure
may be. Garcon.

placed with tho banks largely throughout

due to the difficulty Of inaugurating the
