PLEA FOR
COMMONsENsE
A Forceful Address By
James NJ. Beck

The following address was made
before the students Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania at the recent
Commencement, on the occasion Of
the unveiling Of a statue to Benja-
min Franklin, by James M. Beck,
encouragement under Mckinley,
and one of the best known lawyers
of the Atlantic States. His plea in
this rush and turmoil age for a
breath of the sanity and common
sense of Franklin makes interesting
and inspiring reading.
"Does not this truthful Frank
lin, with his staff in one hand and
his meagre possessions in the other,
with his uplifted eyes, alert, vigor-
Gus carriage and smiling, resolute
face, nobly symbolic the youth of
America, as they end their appren-
ticeship, and resolutely face on the
Threshold of manhood the rude
challenge Of the world?
"No ship ever brought so rich a
cargo to Philadelphia as the little
sloop from Bordentown which dis
embarked the youthful Franklin on
Market street wharf 100 years ago.
Il shall not attempt any formal
eulogium.
This myriad-minded man de-
fies analysis. Historical analogies
give us the most graphic idea OF
this stupendous genius, and yet the
varied and conflicting character Of
these analogies makes it difficult to
comprehend it's full extent In
diplomacy, a Talleyrand; in in
vention, an Edison; in philan-
thropy, a Wilberforce; in science,
a Newton; in philosophy, an Eras-
mus; in local politics, a Hans
Sachs; in statecraft, a Richelieu; !;
i'll humor, a Swift; in style, an Adj
Olson in the power of narration, a
Defoe; in the unequalled sweep Of
his versatility, a Leonardo da Vinci.
What man! Where in history is
his equal in the varied scope Of his
talents and achievements?
Suffice it to say that, tried by
the ardusou greatness of things
done, Franklin thought more, said
more, wrote more and did more
than any man yet born under
American skies.
SPIRIT OF AMERICA
For this reason this statue rep
resents more truly than any other,
Of which | have knowledge, the
spirit and history of America. 1t
is the effigy of one of the greatest
and most typical of Americans. As
Thomas Carlyle once well said on
beholding a statue Of Franklin !:
There is the true father Of all the
Newark post., 1914-07-01

IN city, State and nation, who be-
tray the most sacred principles of
liberty, to which he gave the mighty
labors of his life, to crafty the
base passions of the mob.
He sympathized with people,
and especially with the working
classes, of which he himself as a
printer was a shining example, but
his ideal Of the worker was to work
and not to idle. He would have
scorned movement, whether by
law or otherwise, which would
sink the industrious and skilful
worker to the level Of the idle and
the thriftless, and he would regard
with equal loathing the intellectual
demagogues,. who play upon the
passions Of the masses, and the sor-
did grafters, who betray the great
cause Of civic improvement to en-
rich themselves.
LOVE OF WORK
"Franklin was also a typical
American in his love Of work-not
as a mere means to an end, but for
the love Of work, the joy of achieve
ment. He was the most useful and
industrious citizen that Philadel-
phia or America has ever known.
His period Of public service, which
reached nearly 70 years, was unex-
ampled in length. No burden
seemed to be too great for him, no
sacrifice too severe.
"This is, or at least was, the
American spirit. Our very name
implies it. The word America or
Italian 'Amerigo' is derived by
Humboldt from two Gothic words,
Anal, meaning work, and 'Ric
the root Of to conquer All con-
quering work! This was ever
Franklin s ideal. Even when he
seemed most idle, his brain was
terminating might thoughts. His
broad, tolerant nature had con-
tempt only for the thoughtless and
the idle.
but this statue Of Franklin best
typifes the spirit and achievements
of America, because it represents
the youthful Franklin In this
it is unique. The venerable and
patriarchial Franklin mas so pow
erfully impressed the imagination
of man that every public effigy OF
him, Of which | have any know,
ledge, represents him in his mature
age This, however, is the Frank,
lin in the MAY morn Of youth,
the time which on high authority
is said to be ripe for exploits anc
mighty enterprises.
"When | spoke on Franklin fif
teen years ago in this city I ther
ventured to make several sugges
tions, of which at least one Dor,
immediate fruit. | first suggested
, that as Franklin had rendered som
of his greatest services to Americ;
and to civilization in the city o
Paris, that a replica Of the Boyl
, statue should be erected in tina
queenly city on the Seine as token
of good will from America tt
France. The lamented John II
Harjes, of Paris, accepted this sug
gestion, and it was through hi

Yankees. He was the first great
product Of the American Com
monwealth.
Franklin was not only the first
and intellectually the greatest of
Americans, but he was also the
most typical. Both his virtues and
his failings were characteristic Of
the American character as it has
since developed. His shrewdness,
utilitarianism, philosophic good
humor, poise Of judgement, toler-
ant spirit, democratic temperament

qulsltlveness, love OF industry and
pride in achievement are all charac-
teristically American qualities.
"The two Americans who seem
to me to come most directly from
the very heart Of America, and
best typify the average American
character, are Franklin and Lin-
coin. Both unite in their person
alities the qualities Of good humor,
generous tolerance, philosophic OPP
timism, intellectual versatility,
freedom from conventionality, sim
plicity of ideas, and last, but not
least, common sense Franklin,
like Lincoln, was the very genius
of common sense. The great phil
osopher was more versatile than
profound. His was a telescope,
not microscopic vision. He was
wonderfully clever and resourceful
but not a master Of details. He re-
sembled Erasmus more than Oar
win.
He accomplished all he did by
his freedom from intellectual con-
ventionality and his sustained and
intelligent application of common
sense to the problems that con-
fronted him. This is not only a
rarer but higher gift than many
suspect. Common sense is the in
stinctive appreciation of the nice
relation which things bear to each
other, without which the most
learned man may be, like King
James, justly characterized as
the wisest fool in Christendom.
ABOVE HYSTERIA
"Oh, for breath of Franklin 5
sanity and common sense i'll this
hysterical generation, when the
whole world seems topsy-turvey
when many classes are in revolt
against the institutions which make
for stability, when women are
growing masculine in the frenzied
and violent advocacy of new priv

mime in submitting to intolerablt
wrongs, when the councils Of mel
are darkened with vain. imaginings
and legislators, administrators
and alas even judges, are fleeing
in abject cowardice before the ris
ing dust of an advancing wind
storm. Franklin had too keen {
sense of humor to be swept away by
such hysteria, and he had too flint
a sense of justice to accept the pre-
sent day cowardly surrender o
principle to political expediency.

THE "~SNEERING" ATTITUDE
TO BE CONDEMNED

President Wilson, in his speech in New York at the
ceremonies for the dead soldier boys Of Vera Cruz, said
that there were worse things in the world than to die and
one has to feel the sheer of a hostile public. President
Wilson no doubt gave way for the moment to his own
sense Of injustice in being made the subject for CRITICS n
by those who have no desire to see in the presidents efforts
the very best that he can do for his country.
President Wilson never has received from the public
any such attitude as was evinced toward President Taft
in the closing months of his administration. President
Wilson was the legatee of this sneering opposition; elected
as a result of an opposition Of sneers which divided the Re-
publican party and gave the Princeton schoolmaster his
opportunity to become president of the United States.
President Wilson can hardly complain if in so short a
time he has found himself as unpopular as was Taft. He
had all the advantage that accrued from the sneers that
were aimed at his predecessor. He was made president
because Of them. Taft was a "jelly fish" Taft was "too
fat" He was lampooned and criticized, bullied and fret
ted until he became what his critics wanted him to be-
come, a thoroughly enraged and mad bull. 1t was eff
fected by this same "sneering" attitude of which Presi-
dent Wilson now complains.
In all courtesy to the president Of the United States
out Of respect for his high office and out of respect for the
man himself whose abilities none can question and of
whose honesty of purpose and purity of heart no man can
gainsay, this sneering attitude of which the president
complains should be left to those boorish newspapers and
out the curl of the lip and the word of the mouth that
stabs and hurts.
It is repeatedly stated that President Wilson's health
is breaking down under the strain of the presidency.
There can be other ways of killing a president than the
bullet or the knife. While President Wilson may owe his
office to the attitude which "sneered' Taft out of the presi-
dency. we should all be too good sports to want a sensitive
soul like Wilson stung into his grave by the Taft route.

If the late election in Iowa did not afford more or less
conclusive evidence as to the improbabiity of the Pro-
giresslve party holding the vote they poled in the last pres
ldentlal campaign, the registration in Oregon this month
offers some figures difficult to explain away. To date the
Republicans have registered 1927, the Democrats 81
VO and the Progressives $685.. In California, too. the
Republicans have a big lead, altho Roosevelt and .TobnS ~
carried the state two years ago. The significance of II all
would seem to be that the Republicans are getting to-
r--standpatters and al-the progressives and the
low-tarlft element Joining in the procession in the hone
that the old party has learned its lesson and will not re-
peat its folies. Which is as it may be. The one fact which
everyone OF the old-tlme politicians must get settled nm
der his nat is that the Independent vote of the country
they called 1t the mugwump vote in Cleveland's dav-xas
never so strong as it is today, and no party organization
can. WIN before the people on a platform framed to ride

Senator Borah's plan, as formulated in a resolution
introduced into the United States senate on the End inst
to postpone final decision on the repeal of the free-tols
clause of the Panama canal bill until the people had their
say at the November elections, has the merit of passing the
whole question up to the ~people-where it really belongs.
AS the Senator notes in his resolution, all three of the
presidential candidates in 1912 stood pledged to the free
tolls idea-all Of the party platforms favored the same
thing. And yet, within a brief twelve months after tax
ing office, Mr.. Wilson plays a right-about-face and wants
our own people to pay for the use of a canal built with
their own money. And why? That he may truckle to
Great Britain to serve some purpose which he has never
made clear to anyone yet. Gloss it over as one may, the
incident is one of the most disgraceful in the entire his
tory of our foreign delations-all the more so that Great
Britain never demanded the surrender of our sovereignty
of the canal unit. it was realized a pliant-kneed admins
traton at Washington stood ready to barter it. Mr.
Bryan's management Of the office of secretary of state
contrasted with the glorious records left by Webster, Sc

petence, indecision and lack of backbone. o Temporal. O
