A Test Of Moral Calibre
The Lorimer case in the Senate
in the iinal analysis was not hiere
Jy a question of seating or unseat
ing an individual, says the Mpls.
Journal, but a test of the moral cal
ibre of the men who make up the
most dignified legislative body in
the world. The issue involved was
"not a political one, but a moral is
sue. pure and simple, and there is
no compromise on such an issue:
Duties never conflict and he
builds his house upon sand who
beguiles his conscience with argu
ments that any great ultimate good
can ever come from even a tempor
ary deviation from the path of
truth, aud the simple performance
of what is decent.
Not a few of the Senators who
voted for the retention of Lorimer
in his ill-gained place in the sen

itical expediency will damn them
for years to cooie with the unsoph
isticated but honest, constituent
who is not interested in the decla
ration of technical innocence in a
man whom the country has long
since adjudged morally guilty.
The compromise with conviction
has ruined the political careers of
greater men than any who now sit
in congress. Webster saw'this
great moral prestige dissolve when
in a bid for the presidency he was
guilty, in his "Seventh of March"
speech, of virtually recanting his
lifelong convictions on the slavery
question. The defeat of Henry
Ulay for the presidency in 1844
was largely due to his evasion of
his true conviction of the slavery
question in the Southwest.
When such giants as these fall
through compromises, it is incred
ible that the pigmies of today can
imagine that they are building for
themselves strength politically or
any other way by the evasion of
an obvious duty.
A compromise with a moral con
viction is the leak in the dyke of
public opinion and he who is thus
guilty can look only to the disinte
gration of the esteem in which he
is held by the people. His is a
house built of sand and when the
storm comes, "great is the fall
thereof."

at one time of some guards being
