Good Citizenship Can Build on En

I Tho business men of this country
haTO been accused of being coward-
ly, Indifferent and solflsh in tfeelf
Irolatlons to government, but the t
erage business man has perhaps ha
loss to do with shaping the political
policies ot the country than any other
class of oltlxens, and therefore very,
little responsibility for the present
etato ot affair can be laid at hie
door. The most serious charge that
can be euocoastully lodgod against
him Is that he accepts slavery la
preference to sovereignty In his clt
lzenshlp, and there Is nothing so
dreadful or so difficult to overcome
as voluntary servitude. But R
whole ho Is to b pitied rather than
condemned. Ho cannot tell whother
he Is honest by consulting his con
science Ho must aBk hla lawyer A
The riht to think has been legla- -wrf
lated out of him. Individuality has tf
' been torn from him by law. Ha w ' ,
but a ghost of the citizen created by t
the Constitution of the United States.
J Not only have liberty and freedom.
become vague ana uncoriain lornm
subject to contradictory Interpreta-
tions of those who hold offlco, but
bo complicated has the citizen's re-
lation to government become that
human rights is a floating substance
moved by the current of legal opin-
ion, and the romedy lies In a more
aotlve, patriotic and responsible citi-
zenship. t ' jixu. jS?
The business men ot this nation
need the spirit shown by the bur
ness men of '76, when Kobert .Mor-
ris, tho Ration's wealthiest citizen
opened his purse strings and said, 'IT'
wUl give all I have to my country
except my Integrity," when John
Dicklnsoi. tho wealthy farmer step-
ped forward and said, "It's my dutfuf.
to ioave liberty to my children, Mr
not my duty to loave wealtn" t
them," and Benjamin Franklin over
70 years of age when called by the.
Continental Congress Bald, "I am oldI
and good tor nothing, I am but the-
fag end, tako mo for what youu

Men and Money Needed '
I want men to Join me In the work ,
of the Texas Economic League in -giving
tho fag-onds ot their Uvea
and a pnrt o their monoy to getting'
this country back to the American-
ism of Washington and tho liberty
ot Jefferson. There nro many ot
us in Toxns who need to leavo less
money and more llborty to our child-
ren. I believe I make no mistake
In saying that the genoral trond of'
buslnosB men of wealth In this coun-
try today 1b to rovorso tho fltatcmont
of Morris, Dickinson and Franklin.
The readiness with which seme of
our cltlzena plead guilty to buslnoss
crimes, suggest tho conclusion that
they are willing to gjvo their country
their Integrity If they can keep their
money, and It secma to be universal
ly conceded by most business men,
that it Is their duty to leave wealth
to their children, but not their duty
to leave llborty to them.
I am nofono of thoso who believe
that the solution ot this problem Ilea
In business men making laws, hold-
ing offices and sitting upon Juries,
although It is a lquJublo thing to
do, and a duty that no good citizen,
should shirk. This country could
survive the ordeal If we did not pais
another law for ten years, and It waa
never contemplated that the people
should depond upon offlco holders to
proserve their rights. The contest
for liberty has always been betwoem
government and tho cltlzons, and bad,
government Is always the result oC
bad citizenship. Neither do I bollova
that tho liberty and frcodom ot this
country can be preserved by endow-
ing foundations, universities, churches!
and libraries. Qreeco gave us tool
most polished and powerful products
of tho human raco, and whVe the
genius ot her day was swaying tht
World, ignorant eavagps destroyed
her government, and. led her maqterr
minds captlvo to foreign countries J
the result ot bad citizenship. Pales
tine gave us the mightiest rellglque
teachers In all civilization, and whilp
the world was marveling over hen
faith and her miracles. Infidels andi
heathens destroyed her Temple and.
threw hor prophets In prison the re-
sult of bad citizenship. '
Tho pages of ' history abundontyV-
prove that neither the fertility ot the
soil nor the business sagacity ot the
pooplo are sufficient safe-guards jfor
tho preservation of government. Tha
Ptolomlos of Ancient Egypt esias'-''
jiished a powerful dynasty In the most
forttlo valloy on the globe, but H
.withered and died as a result ot bad.
jeitlzenshlp. The mighty Caesar es-
tablished in tbd Roman Empire the
world's greatest financial center and
all nations and nil men paid tribute
to the money powors of Rome, hijt
the natHn crumbled and foil u a
result ot bad cltlzonahlp. Qood cit-
izenship can build an empire upon a,
rock and bad citizenship will make
a desert ot the most fertile country
