Selhshness, The Worst Enemy

FTER all the worst enemy Of any government, Of any
community or Of any individual citizen is seshness
Such in substance the remark made BY El Paso

at the chamber Of commerce. How true It isl And how
certainly all Of coming realize It
A few years ago heard lot in this country about
the greedy capitalists That many capitalists greedy
and still are greedy there is no doubt
Today the capitalist is down and laboring is up.
Now hear Of the greed Of the union the union
official That unions and union officials
greedy doubted than the fact capital
lists avarous beyond their ability to control
themselves.
We have all heard Of the greed of kings and warcrazed
ePerOrs Now are hearing Of the greed Of triumph
ant proletariat IN Russia and Hungary
These things all lead to but conclusion. That con-
olusiOn is that all less alike. IF all
honest and unselsh any kind of government would
be good government. A wise, honest and kindly king
could govern country to the satisfaction Of every sub
ect #, ike the king every subject were wise, honest
and kind On the other hand republic, matter how
well grounded the principles Of justcno matter how
well its laws read the statute books would the

and grasping and suspicious.
Every form OF government has been tried. The bitter
experience Of the has proved that the safest form Of

of the people is the republican form Of government such

Selshness is what makes want to charge too large

much and give nothing. It is what has caused great na-
