MORALITY VS. LAW
It has required superhuman courage for the Admin
istration to challenge the power of the J. P. Morgan in
terests, because, as is being disclosed, this combination
of wealth has dominated the political as well as finan
cial life of the nation.
Under less favorable circumstances no President j
or political party which hoped to remain in power could !
have dared beard the moneyed colosus in its den.
Which goes to show how far we have gone after for
saking what is scornfully referred to as, the “Victorian
era” of morals for the purely materialistic doctrine of
“Money Talks”.
While the man in the street raises his voice in ap
parent righteous indignation at the Morgan disclosures,;
the fact remains that Mr. Average Citizen is no better
than Morgan and his satelites. It is all a question of j
moiais vs. laws. Without morals no law can be enactedj
which will guarantee a safeguard against the Morgan |
octopus. In fact it is this progression under laws instead ;
of morals which is responsible for all of the evils beset- j
ting the nation, inclining breadlnes, governmental doles
and charities. It is the small group of moralists, led b>
President Roosevelt who must bear the burden created
by a nationally immoral spirit.
It will do no good to dethrone the Morgans unless
the nation is prepared to dethrone the golden calf and !
return the moral equation.
Since we have had the experience of Mammon wor
ship as against spiritual righteousness and can fully un
derstand the present effect it remains to be seen if those
who now complain loudest are willing to revert to the
latter or continue to pay tribute to the former.
The orderly revolution now going on must be ac- j
companied by a moral rejuvenation before we can hope
to avoid what many feel is the militant rejuvenation. And
the moral rejuvenation must begin with the man who
casts the ballot. !
Japanese and Chinese enter truce Wednesday, begin
tearing each other’s hair Thursday, sign another truce j
on Friday and—Say, this thing is becoming more like
husband and wife every day.
