Swinq Of the Pendulum,

Great reforms are only brought
nbout in the United States, as In most
other countries, through violent agita.
tlon; and, rs Is invariably the case,
the agitation leads to measures unncc.
essarily stringent.
The pendulum Oyorswings its bal.

II has been true In the past also that
the period Of reaction has been so
violent ms 10 nullify much of the good
accomplished, lead To renewed public
Indifference and give opportunity for
abuse Of privilege 10 again entrench
itself.
So long ms people govern themselves
and n majority Of the voters remain
human, this will continue, but with
this gnIn, that the pendulum on It's re-
turn never reaches the point from
which II started o. swing back.
That constitutes the measures Of
beneficial accomplishment.
