TAINTED POLITICS
By Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There is
scarcely a campaign speech made,
platform demand written or mea-
sure enacted INTO law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof.
There is more blue sky in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold
est promoters of chimerlcal business
schemes. There are more secret com
binations formed by politicians in the
name of my Country than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE it en-
acted than were ever concealed I'M
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk OF an in
dustry or cripple business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and Outlines de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with its
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, If they
could not shake plums Off the tree OF
American liberty or cut melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
let's in defense of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor IN de-
tense of agriculture or industry No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
| Justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the rancor of a political
campaign to influence judgment can
render capable service.
The preservation Of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attri
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the plow or the staff OF
the Shepherd. The surest cure fol
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these I'm
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers
bankers and merchants are elected tt
membership in legislative bodies, much
of the trouble in government will dis
appear
