| Not only In the courtroom. but in
the consultation chamber. the lawyer
sometimes yields 10 tho temptation
10 turn his talents to sordid use,
The schemes OF spoliation that defy
the officers of the law are. for the
most part. inaugurated and directed
by legal minds. The lawyers posi-
ton is scarcely less responsible than
the position OF the journalist, and II
the journalists and lawyers of the
country could he brought to abstain
from the. practices by which the gen
eral public Is overreached, II would
be an easy matter to secure the re-
medal legislation necessary to protect
the producing masses from the con-
slant epoiiation to which they are now
gu bjected by the privileged classes.
II man who Is planning a train
robbery takes another along to hold
"a horse at a convenient distance, we
say that the man who holds the horse
Is equally guilty with the man who
robs the train; and the time will come
when public opinion will hold as
equally guilty with the piunderers OF
society the lawyers and journalists
who assist the plunderers to escape.
Commerce is an increasing factor
lin the business world. 1t includes
both exchange and transportation and
stands next in Importance to produc-
Efson. Production comes first, but pro-
ductlon could only be carried on on
la limited scale without the exchange
OF merchandise. To desire to gain an
honorable distinction In this depart
ment of labor Is worthy ambition.
He who improves the instruments OF
trade brings purchaser and consumer
nearer together, and thus facilitates
exchange, may count himself a real
benefaetor. But even here there are
temptations to be avoided. Let me
suggest three. First. speculation. !
do not mean to say that the element
Of chance can be entirely eliminated
from any kind of business. The far
mer takes his chances upon the sea-
sons; the merchant takes his chance
upon the market; the railroad owner
takes his chances upon both the sea-
son and the market. ana we all take
our chances upon sickness and death.
ir,ts hun a N
calculation. but a distinction can be
drawn between those uncertainties
which are unavoidable and those un-
lcertainties which are OF the very es-
sence OF the transaction. There Is q
legitimate work for the stock ex-
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-08-17

sent itself to individuals. but II pre-
sents itself to groups Of individuals
as well.
Let us consider the party. po-
litical party cannot be better than Its
ideal: in fact, It is good in proportion
as It's ideal Is worthy. and Its place
in history Is determined by its adj
herence to a high purpose. The party
Is made for its members, not the mem =
bers for the party. and party Is
useful therefore, only as it is means
through which one may protect his
rights, guard his interests and pro-
mote the public welfare. The best
service that a man can render MS
party Ia to raise It's ideal. He basely
betrays his party's hopes and Is rec
reant to his duty to his party and as
sociates who seeks to barter away a
noble party purpose for temporary ad-
vantages or for the spells of office.
1T would be reflection upon the IN
ttelllgence and patriotism of the peo-
pie to assert or even to assume. that
lasting benefit could be secured for
a party by the lowering of its stand
ards. He serves his party most 10y
ally who serves his country most faith
fully: Il Is fatal error TO suppose tnat
a party can be permanently benefited
by a betrayal Of the nations inter
ests.
In every act Of party life and party
strife we weigh the soul. That the
people have a right to have what they
want is fundamental principle IN
free government Corruption in gov
eminent comes from the attempt 10
substitute the will Of minority for
the will of the ajority. Every meas
ure which comes up for consideration
involves Justice and njustlce--right
and wrong-and is, therefore. a ques-
ton of conscience. As justice is the
basis of nations strength and gives
1t hope of perpetuity, and as the
seeds Of decay are sown whenever IN
Justice enters into government, pa
triotism as wells=as conscience leads
us to analyze every public question,
ascertain the moral principle m
yolved and then cast our influence,
whether II be great or small. on the
side of justice.
The activities of politics center
about the election of candidates 10
office. and the official. under our sys-
tenn, represents both the party 10
which he belongs and the whole BODY
of his constituency. He mas Two
temptations to withstand-frst. the
temntation To substitute his own tudg-
ment for the judgment OF his con-
stftuents, and, second, the temptation
to put mis- pecun.ary interests above
the interests of those for whom ne
acts. According to the artstocratic
idea, the representative thinks for his
constituents; according to the Demo-
cratic idea the representative thinks
with his constituents A representa-
tive has no right to defeat the wishes
of those who elect him, IL he knows
their wishes
But a representative ts not liable
TO knowingly misrepresent his con-
stituents unless he has pecuniary in
terests adverse to theirs This Is the
temptation to be resisted--tnts is the
sin TO be avoided. The official who
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-08-17

uses his position to secure a pecuni-
larry advantage at the expense OF those
for whom he acts is an embezzier Of
power--and an embezzier of power Ii
as guilty of moral turpftude as tho
mbezzler of money. There is no bet
ter motto for the public official than
that given by Solomon "A good name
/ is rather TO be chosen than great
riches. and loving favor rather than
silver and gold" And there Is no
better rule for the public official TO
follow than this--to do nothing that
he would not be willing to have print
ed IN the newspapers next day.
Permit me, In conclusion. to say
that the nation, as we'll as the indi-
vidual and the party, must he meas
ured by IT'S purpose, its ideals and It's
service. Let him who would be
chiefest among You he the servant

Here the people are more free than
elsewhere to try all things and hold
fast that which ia good: TO know
the truth" aud to find freedom In that
knowledge. No material considera-
lions should blind us to our nation's
mission. or turn US aside from the ac-
complishment Of the great work which
has been reserved for tls. Our fields
bring forth abundantIy and tho pro-
ducts OF our farms furnish food for
many in the old World. Our mills
and looms supply an increasing ex-
port but these are not our greatest
asset Our most fertile soil ia 70 be

our people, and our most important
