When we look at the world of
politics, it is easy to see that we are
in bad way. Politics is the dirtiest
game in the world. 1t must be
cleaned up" declared Rev. R. B.
Mathews, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, in rousing address
delivered to the students last evening.
As politics is to-day, the best men
throughout the country will not
touch it with forty-foot pole. That
condition is not so in Ellsworth, but
1t does exist elsewhere, and it is
bad condition which must be righted.
The ablest men throughout the
country must enter politics. We must
raise the ideal of citizenship. We
must realize that the American citi-
zenship is the greatest political her.
itage in the world The future hope
OF the country is in you young men.
II am a party man" declared Mr..
Mathews. II believe in two strong
parties. and | don't believe much in
third parties. But both political par
ties can be convicted of crimes they
have committed. Both parties
shared in killing the League of Ma
tions. 1t may have been just as well
that this particular league was killed,
but. nevertheless. the time is at hand
when combination of the great
powers for the preservation of peace
is necessary. Political parties must
sink their differences for the accom-
plishment of this end"
