John Stuart Mill · en
Having a trained, enlightened mind, and not buried beneath books, he
expressed his views about public matters and public men who did not
perform their duty to the people, so vigorously and so truthfully, that
he was believed, and the people made him governor of New Jersey.
In this office he did so much in altering distasteful political
conditions, that he was considered a proper candidate for the presidency
of the United States where the same untoward conditions existed as in
New Jersey. He was elected, and is doing things all the time to better
conditions, and although he has many enemies who fancy only a settled
condition of things where they will not be disturbed in the management
of them, the President is driving them to cover and will undoubtedly be
successful in his endeavors.
Woodrow Wilson is a man of action and has a large background of learning
to fortify himself. Fortified in every direction and from every point of
attack, he is not an easy man to tackle or to find fault with. The
opposition to him was that he was a university man, and therefore he did
not know enough about politics to carry the country safely through a
four years’ term. But the people are finding out that it does not
require as much politics to run the country as it does education and
intelligence combined with energy and persistence. He is beating down
petty statesmanship and establishing the government along the lines of
benefit to the people. He may be considered as an instrument in the
improvement of a nation, and as giving it a long start back to first
principles which mean progress.
DR. W. E. BURGHARDT DUBOIS
A noted man who is doing a great work along the line of betterment of
the Colored Americans and directing their thoughts into high altitudes,
is W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, known as the editor of “The Crisis,” A
Record of the Darker Races.
Dr. Du Bois stands on the principle that intellectual emancipation
should proceed hand in hand with economic independence, and he is making
himself felt by the earnest advocacy of a truth that must impress the
people for whose interests he is laboring.
It may not be known to everybody that Dr. Du Bois is one of the
Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People.
The movement of nations toward the accomplishment of the designs of the
Almighty to make all nations one, and in the supremacy of the
intellectual over physical force, is well understood by Dr. Du Bois, and
he is working along that line with other ardent humanitarians. He aims
to accomplish a world peace and a realization of human brotherhood.
To turn our attention to another race, William Jennings Bryan looms up
conspicuously with the others in his struggle to bridge the chasm of
prejudice and place all men upon the road toward human betterment and
universal peace.
