ARB PRINCIPLES) GREATER THAN MEN
Perhaps the strongest bulwark ot the political boss is the almost j
universal belief that principles are greater than men. Scarcely a vil
lage, town, county or state that has not slipped over candidates because
of this convention, so frequently in fact that it is time we turned the
microscope on this very vital assumption. Morals are largely geographi
cal and always subject to the times. The theory of right today may be
wrong tomorrow. In the early days principles in government may have
been more vital than men. Indeed this may be true today, but it is
equally certain that today the character of the men we choose to serve
ns is more vital than ever before in history, for in matters of government
we are compelled to put blind faith in the men we choose to serve us.
Government has become so highly. technical, so amazingly complex,
that it is quite beyond the understanding of the average individual. The
subtleites have removed government so far from the ken of the average
citizen that he has lost all touch with it; he feels it is sometimes with
which he has grave concern, but in which he dares not to express an
opinion. His happiness* bis welfare, depend on the skill with which these
technical problems are confronted, yet they can be man-handled to his
complete undoing without his even sensing the folly of his representative.
Summed up, government has nearly gone from the hands of the
people; it seems to have outgrown the people; The people have not kept
trp with the procession. It seems as if we must turn back the clock and
take more careful measure of integrity and ability in those we must trust
to do for us the things we are unable ourselves to understand. ( If not
this, then we need some new system of education in the land.
INTELLIGENT FAULT FINDING.
THE POLITICAL GOSSIP MONGER .AND FAULT FINDER
It is the business of a certain part of the population of any com
munity to find fault with other people.
It is the business of everbody to find fault with themselves.
Intelligent and patient fault-finding practiced by teachers ahd par
ents, employers and executives, is helpful and necessary.
But these people are in very small minority.
Even they are far better qualified for their unpleasant and often j
thankless jobs If they formed the habit of finding faults in themselves.
Progress through life is much smoother, much freer from irritating
experiences, if we find our own faults and correct them before other
jptople have to find them for us.
Once egotism and self-sufficiency is set aside this is not a difficult
One of the best ways to go about it is to note the faults in others,
which are always glaringly apparent, and then to compare ourselves with
them and see if we have not the same faults.
, It is easy to see that your neighbor is lazy, or shiftless, or a
responsibility dodger, or something of a booster and a little of a liar.
A little self-examination may disclose that you have some or all
of these faults.
If you have, get rid of them as soon as you can, and you may save
yourself a bad half hour with some one later on.
When you have failed dismally to do something that you knew how
to do, do not spend any time thinking up alibis or excuses, or trying to
shift the blame to the shoulders of somebody else.
Oo back over the thing, and find out just why you failed. The j
chances are ten to one that it was due to some fault which has become
chronic with you.
Get rid of that fault.
Be five times as critical of yourself as you aw of other people,
and you will be far less liable to the criticism of others, which is always
unpleasant, and which sometimes wounds your feelings.
A beautiful thought: Successful men are those who do things
that “can’t be done.” ^ f
Many a man’s as good as his bond and still Isn’t worth anything.
'Rte easiest way to avoid trouble is to fail to recognize It.
The old-fashioned girl used to expect to marry a dashing hero,
the new fashioned one expects to marry a dashing motor car.
Beware of the political liar. The AIR is full of stories these days, i
