A Permanent Standard

A Permanent Standard
L. o. Richardson, farmer Twin
near Reeder, sends to The Tribune
copy Of a handful printed during
national election campaign 108 year
ago. It sets forth the requirement
for . presidential candidate as con
ceived by the author Of that remot
day and Richardson offers the com
ment that II ever man of the typ
asked for was needed in this countr
he is needed now.
The contents of the handful fol
Tow:
"Wanted-Not until March
4th, 1924, an honest, Intelligent
and faithful Man Servant, to
serve the people Of the United
States as their President, for
the next term of four years. He
must have the following charac-
ter; He must be at least, thirty
five years old. A college aducation
will not be insisted on as indis-
pensable, provided he has by his
own genious and industry acquired
rs mulch general knowledge as
did BENJAMIN Franklin, the prin-
ter, or Roger Sherman, the Shoe
maker, who signed the Declara-
ton of Independence, and has the
steel and flint to strike out sparks
Of political truth to light this ma
ton to their most direct way to
prosperity and plenty. He must
be true to his promise, and not a
courtier who will say yes to every
one. It Is expected he will do his
best to restore the industrious, in
telligent, honest farmer to his
pristine rank and consequence in
society, and the artizans and man
ufacturers Of equal merit may be
placed by their side, useful indus
try be made fashionable and hon.
orable. and the idle speculator be
no longer rated gentleman, but
a vagaboud, a drone in the polit-
ical hive, and make the industri-
Gus. intelligent boy, who Is seen
at work In the field, work shop
or factory, to be more respected
by society, and more sought after
by the girls, than the young
dandy who is selling grog in
store, or studying in an office
with q gown on, how to cheat
legally, steal according to law,
and tell lies in the words of
truth. Do our candidates measure
up to these standards?"
The spelling Is that Of the origina
author, or Of the printer who put tn
poster into type.
The poster proves nothing, o
course, unless it is the fact that tn
standard which the average man set
for candidates for high public offic
has not changed much in a century
There has been too much emphasi
placed upon alleged genius in recen
political campaigns and too little up
on those characteristics of the com
mon man which everyone appreciates
Regardless of how one phrases tn
demand, the standard for presidential
aspirants was fixed in this coun
try long years ago. Some Of the mel
who have held the office may no
have met 1t very satisfactorily bu
the measuring stick has become wei
established.
