“ANYBODY’S RACE”
Thomas Carlyle in one of his essays quoted Cooper
as saying that there is “an instinctive tendency in men to
look at any man who has become distinguished.” Of
course a bandit becomes “distinguished” in the sense that
he does not do as the common run of men do. But the term
is generally understood to mean accomplishments and
talents for service to the state or to mankind in general.
There is a tendency nowadays to look at auybody
who gets publicity regardless of his talents or his accom
plishments for good. “In the limelight” is a phrase mean
ing usually that one is getting his name in the headlines,
either because of some good he has done of for some bad
he has done. However, the same tendency has its bright
side.
It used to be that nobody thought of putting his name
up for high public places unless he had a bushy head of
hair, deep wrinkles in his face, a swallow-tail coat and a
high hat. He had to look distinguished whether he was or
not. But now people don’t pay so much attention to ap—
pearances. There are man ymen in high positions of our
government who do not bear any resemblance to the trad
itional “statesman” type—the high hat fellow. The farms
are sending fanners to Congress, the workers are send
ing industrial workers, and the professions are sending
some of their own kind. Statesmanship has changed from
the old order of swaying emotions to the more practical
method of appealing to common sense. And the latter
method is getting results, tho they should be greater.
A condition where the humblest citizen has a chance
to become the greatest—the most “distinguished”—is
wholesome for any country. For example, so long as the
race for the Presidency is “anybody’s race,” America is
not going to fail politically. It is good for the country that
all of these “favorite sons” are being pushed forward.
Isn’t every prominently mentioned candidate a favorite
son? Curtis, Dawes, Smith, Reed, Lowden, Watson, Willis,
Hoover and Walsh are favorite sons so far as their own
home people are concerned, and rightly so. Some of these
and others have become distinguished because their
names stand out from the rest. But it is a right of any per
son to step right into the field and get into the race, pro
vided he is also a citizen and not disfranchised.
