in the State and the nation have
suffered thereby. The farther the
government is removed from the
people the more autocratic and less
representative it becomes. Politi-
clans have been playing their game

Jlitics and the People

sounds a note of intelligent patrio,
ism. He appeals to the average Gil
izen to pay more attention to pol

Of the affairs of the State and tn
nation little of that personal II
terest which he injects into his bu
mess affairs. Mr.. Hays present
the case admirably in the following
paragraph:
What we need in this
country is not less poll.
TICS" but more attention
to politics. If the citizens
of the country perform a
citizens duty and interest
themselves sufficiently in
the politics of the nation.
the right principles will be
prac,ired and able and con
scientious candidates elect
ed. Itseems passing stran
ge, indeed, that it should
be necessary to urge men
in this country to exercise
the full privilege of real
liberty. Yet such is the
case, because they imagine
they are either too busy
or too good 10 take part
in politics. l have no use
for the man who is either
too busy or toe good''
to interest himself in pol
itics. He is riding on an
others ticket. What l
urge above all things else
is the fullest participation
of our splendid citizenship
ia the actual politics of the
country. Let this be So

list or which may hereaft-
