Yet some of the New York state men who worked
most LOYALTY and sympathetically with Hughes while

Edmund Burke rated the greatest political
thinker of his time. His political theory has been much
discussed and much misunderstood By his critics It

should guide legislators and statesmen He held to the
French maxim that there two kinds of truth, alb
sract truth and social TRUTH and he maintained that
human prejudices and passions and of human short
comings well of abstract right principles order
to be effective in advancing social progress.
Generally speaking, 1t is fair to say that Hughes
consistently holds to the idea that abstract truth and
abstract right principles must invariably govern; while
Roosevelt preaching that theory and holding to it as
creed nevertheless in practice follows the Burke idea
