The political and social millennium
has not yet arrived nor is it even
actually in sight, but he must be we'd
ded to the past who dose not recognize
that conditions are far better than
they we're, that the movement is still
upward and onward and that people
will not be satisfied until abuses and
wrongs are ended. Moral faults in
our public men are no longer tolerated
There was a time when EXCESSIVE
drinking by such men caused no ad
verse criticism because it was gener-
ally taken as a matter of course and
as being in accord with the social GUS
TOMS But any man at the present
dsv who should drink to excess could
never hope to win his way into the
public condolences. In fact so far
has sentiment advanced that the man
who abstains altogether finds it a
strong asset in his favor So also in
other things. Men who today labor
under the suspicion Of political wrong
doing are usually relegated to private
life by constituencies that demand
prohity and honor in their representa-
tives. In all this one sees that the
former days we're not better than
these, as some unobservant people
contend, but verv much worse.
