And the incantation by which it will be permanently exorcised has not yet been publicly phrased. It is fortunate, consequently, that one reformer can be named whose work has tended to give reform the dignity of a constructive mission. Mr.
The logic of Hearst's agitation is analogous to the logic of the anti-slavery agitation in 1830, and Hearstism is merely Abolitionism applied to a new material and translated into rowdy journalism.
Hearst and Hearstism is a living menace to the orderly process of reform and to American national integrity. Hearst is revolutionary in spirit, because the principle of equal rights itself, in the hand either of a fanatic or a demagogue, can be converted into a revolutionary principle.
These are precisely the questions which Hearst is always asking and Hearstism is seeking to answer. Neither has Mr. Roosevelt himself entirely escaped the misleading effects of his own figure.
The foundation of nationality is mutual confidence and fair dealing, and the aim of democracy is a better quality of human nature effected by a higher type of human association.
