MOORE, OF WASHINGTON, D. C.
Mr. President and Gentlemen : A democracy is no better than the average of its citizens, and nsually not quite so good. Under monarchical systems of government accident of birth often brings into ruling power either the weak and inefficient or the strong and cruel ; under our more perfect system of republican government the evils resulting from the spoils of office too often bring into the councils of city, state and national adminis- trations not those least fitted ...to control, but surely not those who by aptitude, education and a high standard of personal and civil virture are the best fitted to administer the functions of govern- ment. Still we are a great nation, and our system of government is growing apace with the moral and the intellectual uplifting of our people.
For a moment let us take our position midway between the two great oceans, with the vast mineral wealth of towering mountains on our west, two thousand miles of fertile plains on our east, ten thous- and miles of great navigable rivers, draining the most extensive agricultural region in the world ; hundreds of thousands of miles of steam railroads ; five magnificent inland seas ; a climate unrivaled for healthfulness and for its productive potentiality — and the human mind is dazed by the stupendousness, bewildered by the magnificence of the panorama ; and one is inclined to make the mistake of accred- iting to geological, meteorological and geographical conditions the greatness of this nation, and give entire credit to natural environ- ment for the ease with which we have taken a commanding position among the great peoples of the world.
