NOTES The conception of government law as essentially social welfare av gencies . will have to be substitote for the conception of government aw essentially military in character. Toe end of the state will have te se thought of as justice, not power, sosi the purpose of government as social we11 being, not merelv as nrotectiaa against, enemies and the promotios ef prosperity. Political parties shoaloV be associations to secure. iuxtW mwA welfare for all. and not mere conHfet groups to secure selfish ad vantages for their own members. Pa triotism should be regarded as a vir tue onlv so far as it leads to unselfish service, not simply of one's own state, but all of humanity. I think this would be a high con ception of democracy, and of a sys tem of government such as our own, but it is not higher than the dreams and aims of the men who founded our republic. That we have not a yet realized these ideals does not mean at all that we. should abandoa them for lesser and lower ideals. For nothing can be condemned as un workable until it has actually beca given a chance to work. . It can be said truthfully, I think, that the last four or five vears have done more to show our citizens the value, of this new concept of over ment than all our previous history. The last four or five years have seen economic conditions in the United States that have been without parallel in our 150 years of history. The people want the "NEW rEAI and have so shown it by their vote in the recent election. Now, hats off and shoulders to the wheel and posh. "Nothing can be condemned m. workable until it has actually been given a chance to work." For, the last five years our peo ple have been in an unusual state of mind. We have been through one of the most devastating depressions and We have been nrettv miirh in dumos. W could The landmarks are indistinct aad neople have found fault with 'most everything.
