Dewitt's Date*
Angeles, CaL July 1.—In this
rermon, appropriate to tlio Independ
ence day festival, the preacher makes
i powerful apiieal for a further inde
[H*ndence which shall result in the re
demption of our cities from official
corruption. The text Is Jeremiah vli,
17, “Heest thou not what tlniy do in the
cities of Judah?"
This is tile Sunday preceding our na-
tioual holiday. During tin* coining
week we spall commemorate tike time
when our forefathers signed tls- Decla-
ration of Independence, which decJares
Uiat all men are liorn free and equal.
This is the hour when thousands of
patriotic sennous are bcdng preached
over this land, most of them In eulo
gistic strain, to prove that this country
Is the greatest of all countries, our i*x>-

direct result of tlx* work of the Con

Independence hall at I’hlladelpbiH July
1. 177d. But though 1 allot# no man to
stand Ix-fore me In admiration of the
iinmortal dtxTjment i»ciukh1 by Thomas
ielVerson, yet I am jkK one who would
i-iy, "Peace, peace, when th-n 1 Is no

want this monilng to pluee my linger
upon t>;.' most flagrant weuknens of

it Is the weakness of munlcipiU cor

Mr. Lincoln In or»e of his addresses well

ment Is literally true. No foreign foe
can subjugate us. England could no
more conquer us upon our own ground
than we could land at the Liverpool
docks and conquer England. The At
lantic and Pacific oceans are two great
moats, thousands of miles wide, which
say to foreign foes, ‘'Keep out,” ami
also to Americans, “Keep In.” No
drawbridges will ever be male big
enough to span those moats. As long as

Most great statesmen are as loath to
enter an international eBCtnyversy as
Is the prow-nt head of tlie fTemwin em
pire. Some years ago the yiamg empor-
*r was lookiug at tlw Veeeechagln pic
tures depleting Naj ^Jeon’s Invasion of
Uussla. He sakl, "l'er«>**chagin, rnYwr
lid the Judguient of God so plainly
arike man as It struck Napoleon at
Moscow.” Then ht* looked a little km
ger at the pk-turc*s and said, “V«*res-
•hagln, your pictures are an excellent
orreetlve of warlike appetites.” Then
he l<x>ked a llttk* long«*r and again said,
"Vereschagin, the statesman who
would needlessly plunge his country
nto an International strife Is a fool.”
Enijieror William shudders at the
houglit of war. The great statesmen,
both trails and els Atlantic, have the
-;ume dread. Tlte one great purjiose of
their lives Is to prevent International
?omplications. So, In all probability,
you and I will never live to see the
lay when this nation shall be warring
ignlnst another first class nation.
Tims In our present putrlotk- sermon
let us tur i our attention to the Internal
rather titan external «huigeru. By the
help of (iod let us go forth as bravely
•ml heroically as did oar forefathers
fit Concord and Bunker Hill to ermli-
■ate the greatOHt weakiK-ss of our na
Monal lift* auim-ly. oorruptkm In our
monk-tpa] or city governm<inta. These
e\'ih» of our great citlos are to be scon
werywliera. Ehlxer w*e must conquer
them or they hi trmn wtll completely
rvurthrow us.
The clvtc pnotAeni at our laud will
never lie mav-essfaDy solvod until tlie
American vot< r has IntelllgerMC and
manhood enofigb to divorce national
and state politics from mtmictpaJ af
fair*. The two polRlcs, the national
awl civic, are eidlroly distinct. 'The
one to a great extent does not repro
sent peraotialltles, bat pitncIpletL while,
on the other lisrsl, dvic politics does
not reproseut principles so much as
l>erMonalltlefi I^t me try to illustrate
the demarcation In a few words.
Principles, Not Prraonnlltlea.
Come back with me to the year IMOtj.
Major McKinley of Ohio Is the candi
date upon the Republican ticket for
president of the United Elites. He is
the logical representative of his party
upon the sole issue that he was the
author of the famous McKinley bill,
which established high tariff. Now. if
Mr. McKinley is elected to the presi
dency he can do absolutely nothing to
forward his ideas of protection imless
he has a congress Ijehind him which
will pass protection laws. Thus all
over the country the Republicans of
the different congressional districts as
senible and pick out men who believe
in protection to support the future pres
ident in his policy. You can readily
see why they’do this. When we elect
a congressman we do not elqct a per
sonality so much as we vote for a
principle. The national convention
builds a political platform. Then the
different congressional conventions of
the party nominate men who will
pledge themselves to support that plat
form—in other words, in national poli
tics "the unit man” is an insignificant
mote of sand. But. when all these
motes are collected together in one
great volume we have the national pol
icy, or the principle of the great dom
inant political party, expressed In one
mighty chorus sounding together as
one voice.
Now, on tin* other hand, the govern
ment of a city has nothing to do with
the tariff laws or with Die advocacy of
a free silver bill. It has nothing to do
with the 'question whether the Philip
pines shall have self government, as in
Cuba. It has nothing, absolutely noth
ing, to do with national or stab 1 poli
ties. A city government has simply
to do with men. It is a big business.
It has to do with the public schools,
and with the water supply, and with
the lighting of our streets, and with our
street railway system, and with the
control of our police and fire depart
ments. Any man who is a strong, hon
est, upright, Intelligent business man
can run any city government aright,
be he a Republican or a Democrat or
an adherent to any of the other sane
political faiths. And yet the local po
litical "IxisseH" of a city inevitably bold
the municipal governments in their
grasp by mixing up state and national
issues with civic affairs. They nomi
nate their candidates. Then they come
to the voters and say; “Now, Is* con
sistent. If’you are going to vote for a
Republican president, vote for a Re
publican mayor and a Republican city
attorney and a Republican council
man. These men all represent the fame
great Republican truths.” A#<1 never
was greater nonsense ever perpe
trated upon a blinded community than
fliat of insisting on tlie mayor and
council lieing of the dominant political
imrty.
No Loiiffer liereay.
Do you iH-lieve this is political
hei’esy? Then read the following
words of Theodore Roosevelt, presi
dent of the United Static. Mr. Roose
velt declares that most of the munici
pal corruption of this country is direct
ly due to harnessing up national and
civic Issues in the same yoke. I>et me
read to you his own strong, powerful,
Intense words: “The worst evils that
affect our local governments arise from
and are the inevitable results of the
mixing up of city affairs with party
politics of the nation and state. The
lines upon which national parties di
vide have no necessary connection
wltli the business of the city. Such
connections open the? way to countless
schemes of public plunder and civic
corruption.” What says Secretary Wil
liam Taft in a lute letter which he
wrote to a prominent Republican club
of Cincinnati which had elected him
an honorary member: "The conduct of
municipal affairs bus no rational rela
tion to the conduct of national affairs,
and while it does not seem possible to
eliminate from mffnJcipai elections the
system of nominating party tickets,
there ought certainly to lie cultivated
a much wider sjilrit of independence
at municipal elections in the scratch
ing of improper candidates selected by
either party than is likely to is* evei
exercised with reference to state and
national elections.”
Indejtendeace In Local Politics.
Whut these Republican stalwarts
(each I believe the great Democratic
statesmen are ready to enunciate and
to advocate. But. though these facts
which I am adducing should be almost
self evident or axiomatic, yet there are
hundreds of men living, let us say, in
the city of Atlanta, wlm aJways vote
(ho Democratic ticket ^merely because
the state of Georgia Is Democratic In
sentiment, as there are thousands of
men living in Philadelphia who always
vote the Republican ticket because
Pennsylvania is generally Republican.
They will make their state and nation
al and civic tickets of the same color,
no matter what iniquitous polltkal
rings may dominate their cities. Such
voting Is wrong—It is wrong In toto.
Every man should Indorse iftinciples
rather than men in national polities,
but every voter should be an independ
ent In civic politics. He should always
rote for live most honest and capable
candidates In municipal affairs, no
mutter to what state or national polit
ical faith those euudidutaa tielong.
But in order to solve the civic prob
lem aright we must do more than sep
arate national politics from municipal
affairs. We nnist In our city politics
haw the right kind of leaders. We
must prevail upon tho nyart respected
citizens of the different cities to offer
(heuMeJveu as candidates for the differ
ent municipal ottliH*s. The kind of men
who are willing to accept the gni*ema
torlal and tin* congrcHalonaJ and presi
dential offices are the mMDe kind who
should be willing to be eleetod to the
mayoralty or to the aldermanie chairs
to our dty governments.
Make It an Honor.
•Oh.” but you suy, "our prominent
men In professional and business life
cannot afford to tske the humble jk*!-
tlons of a city government. The finan
cial returns are so inadequate that they
do not feel called upon to neglect their
- f • T I ' T.—W— -’V
Ston-s or offices for such petty emolu
ments.” Nonsense, my friend, non-
gens*! The question of tinanciai re
turns should have nothing to do with
our offering the city positions to our
most prominent citizens. We should
look npon our city governments the
game as they do in England or Scot
land or Australia or New Zealand.
There the people, no matter how
wealthy or prominent they may be,
feel it an honor to be called an alder
man of Glasgow, or Edinburgh, or Lon
don, or Melbourne, or Sydney. For
years Lord Rosebery and the Earl of
Covington and John Burns, the labor
leader, worked side by side in the Lon
don county council. Even in the small
est towns of those countries you can
find the most prominent citizens of all
political parties working side by side
as aldermen. The simple fact is we
want that spirit that says: "When duty
calls to the municipal halls, then it is
not wrong to go for the greatest of
men, no matter whether he be mer
chant prince or legal authority.” As
soon as some of our prominent business
and professional men are willing to
make pecuniary sacrifice to serve in
the municipal offices, then these posi
tions will be sought after by our promi
nent men. as tin* congressional and
senatorial and gubernatorial conven
tions now call to the front almost any
man for whom they Indicate a prefer
ence.
But there is still another reason be
sides honor and fame why our most
prominent citizens should lx* prevailed
upon to assume tig 1 municipal burdens
of official life. If a man will not setgre
his city at a financial sacrifice, then in
truth he will not in all probability serve
his city faithfully even if he had to
make no tinanciai sacrifices. The sim
ple fact is ihat our country, both in na
tional and civic life, has never been
able to financially reward Its true
servants adequately. Do you not be
lieve tliat Webster and Clay and Cal
houn and Washington and Hamilton
and Roltert R. Livingston and Judge
Story i«jd Marshall and Samuel J. Ran
dall could have made five, ten—aye,
twenty—times more money if they had
never entered public life? Do you be
lieve that our soldiers v who died for
the defense of their native land were
ever adequately paid for spilling their
life’s blood? The other day I was read
ing an account of the mortality of the
Fifth New Hampshire infantry at the
battle of Fredericksburg. In oik* charge
it lost in; men out of a muster of 300.
In that one charge every oik- of the
color guard was sliot dead. Then Cap
tain Perry ran forward and lifted the
fallen colors, and he almost instantly
was u eotpse. Then another soldier,
Captain Murray, rushed forward and
grasped the* tlag, ami he vos shot dead.
Then Captain Moore entered that hail
storm of bullets for the proeious flag,
ami he, too, dropped dead. Then four
or five private soldiers met a like fate
and hit the blood soaked earth. Then
Lieutenant Xettleton, just as brave as
the rest, made a dash for the predouH
flag ami boro it to the rear.
Do you mean to tell me that those
men financially were adequately paid
for shedding their life’s blood? Why,
some of those men could have been
making their thousands of dollars at
home If they had not enlisted In the
Union army. Yet some of those sol
diers for a mere pittance of $16 a
month were ready to lay down their
lives for their country’s defense. Now,
I want to aak you this question, Are all
the heroes of this nation dead? Nay,
I believe men and women are Just as
ready to make sacrifices for their coun
try' now in these times of peace as
they were In 1861 and 1812 and 1776.
And I furthermore bejleve that the
most prominent citizens of our large
cities will serve us in municipal offices
if we only go after them and call them.
In these civic problems which we have
to soive let us divorce municipal poli
tics from national politics. Then, In
the next place, let us nominate for our
dty officers not the professional office
seekers, but let us go to our best mer
chants and lawyers and physicians and
say: "Men, come and serve us. Come
and make our cities’ names honorable
In the sight of men.” And as Ameri
cans, north, east, south and west, will
quickly volunteer their services In
times of war, s<*J believe these promi
nent merchants and lawyers and doc
tors—ay**, and ministers—will come to
the rescue of our cities In times of
peace.
Lo*k to ttie Conventional.
But we must not simply look at our
municipal candidates when we attempt
to rescue our cities from their present
political corruption. We must also
weigh carefully in the balance the men
by whom these candidates are being
selected. There Is not one municipal
candidate in ten thousand who will an
nounce himself as a candidate for a
dty or a county office, as did William
Travers Jerome for the district attor
neyship of New York city. A ‘man as
a candidate for u public office Is In
evitably the candidate of certain men
ami belongs to the same class. "Tls
true that certain men, like Governor
Folk of Missouri, may be better than
the men who nominated them, yet, as a
rule, in the political world the water
never rises higher than Ils sodree.
When a man Is nominated by a con
veution for a dty office be Is, us a
rule, no better and no worse than the
men who want to elect him to that
office. Therefore If you would find out
the kind of municipal candidates who
are running, all you have to do Is to go
among the men and find out what kind
of men they arc who want that can
didate elected. In other words, you
can nearly always Judge u man pollt-
krally by the company be keeps.
During my ministerial manhood I
have been a citizen of three of the
greatest dtles of the country. Phila
delphia. Pittsburg and Chicago have
each been my home. 1 have always

fully scan the faros of the different
candidates which the saloon keepers
put up in their windows. Y'ou will Ik*
surprised to find that In nineteen eases
out of twenty these faces are always
the same in those saloon windows.
Then I would always scratch the names
of tlui men whose pictures I saw' the
saloon keepers wanted. Birds of a

a candidate for a civic office trains
with the saloon keepers and the dive

good school boards and good police
commissioners and good political heads
of our tire departments and honest men
who will purge our municipalities of
corruption? It is nonsense for minis
ters to sit back In their ecclesiastical
robes and say, "It Is no# our business
to touch cilw politics.” When a moral
Issue Is at stake*It is the business of
the churches and the business of all
church members to go to the primaries
and help nominate the n»en who ought
to Ik* nominated and help elect those
honest men after they have been placed
in nomination. If the members of the

Thank God, I believe civic* purifica
tion is not f ir distant. It is almost mi
raculous to catalogue (Ik* rapid changes
which have come within the life of tt***
present generation in (Ik* purification
of our national life. Senator George F.
Hoar died in 1906. A shirt time before
he pass*?*! away Ik* was asked tbis
question, "Senator, is tla? political life
at Washington growing better or
worse?” He answered tlie question in
these wwds: "When I came hi to pub
lic life In Washington in 1869 tla? corri
dors of the capitol were haunted by
lobbyists Interested In all sorts of
scliemes for plundering the public
tre»isury. There were qirfte a number
of senators and representative who
were suspected by their associates of
being venal. When I think of the con
ditions which prevailed then and for
years following—Tweed Intrenched in
power ftl New York, five Judges of the
United States court fleeing from office
under threats of Impeachment for cor
ruption. the Credit Mobiller scandals,
the scandals attending the Austrian
exposition, the lobbying, the whole civ
il service treated as patronage by pow
erful political leaders, the report of the
committee of military affair* In the
house recommending the expulsion of
four of its members for making sale of
their privileges of selecting youths to
be educated at our great military
school, the Impeachment for corruption
of four Judges in New York, the whis
ky frauds (hi w'bich the private secre
tary of the president was implicated),
the Belknap impeachment, one eminent
member of tlie United States senate
saying to another when he declared be
could find no steal in a pending meas
ure tliat If Ihe senate could find no
steal in it it was not likely to be there,
eight active Republican leaders In Mas
sachusetts detected In state prison of
fenses—it seems to me as If I w*ere liv
ing not only in another age, but In an
other planet”
That was the testimony of tla* purifi
cation of national and state politics in
the political life of Senator George F.
Hoar of Massachusetts. May we live
to see such a wonderful ciiauge In the
purification of city politics. May we
live to see our churches aroused politi
cally. May our churches become great
Institutions of moral and political train
ing. May their members side by side
go forth to capture the political pri
maries in our cities for purity and
right. May godly men always not only
be willing to serve their fellow men In
civic ofliees, but may godly men, by the
grace of God, go forth to elect their
fellows to positions of civic trust. Then
shall the Declaration of Independence
of national liberty, signed by our an
cestors for us, be supplemented by a
declaration of indeiiendejice of our mn
nicipal charters, signed by us for the
benefit of our children and our chil
dren's children. Then, like the Hebrews
of old, we will not only have six cities
of refuge, but all our rifles shall be
cities of refuge, w'herehi purity and
truth and honor shall love to dw*eU, and
where Christ’s altars shall be the
shrines at which municipal official* and
inhabitants shall bow the knee and
worship. May God bless and speed the
consummation of otn* tiekmsl cltte*’
emancipation from sin.

which fails of perfect digestion ferments and

No business can possibly be
successful that is not adver
tised.
This is a sweeping statement,
but it is true. There are •ome
merchants in this community
whose experience apparently
contradicts the statement.
The contradiction, however,
is only apparent. If they have
attained any degree of success
they have advertised. They have
let people know what they had to
•ell, what they were here for and
what they proposed to do. Just
in proportion to the thorough
ness with which they have done
this and met the conditions of
their competitors they have suc
ceeded.
If they have used the newspa
pers they have worked with the
best tools so far as getting pub
licity is concerned. If they have
worked without the newspapers
they have been handicapped and
have not attained the highest
possible measure of success.
A fertile seed planted in fertile
ground, carefully watered, will thrive
and bear fruit.
A properly organized businere,
in any inhabited place, well advertised
will succeed. The law of
growth is as certain and Invraarable k
one case as the othex.
