Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Muck Rake
The whole moral world today is put to shame when it witnesses the heinousness and the stren nous efforts of national blackguards and hire ling demagogues to besmirch the personal andunimpeachable character of President Roose velt. This is not political partisanship (it is in ?amed by politieal partisanship, of course); it is moral partisanship. There are as many de generate Republicans as there are Democrats who would like to see the moral prestige of this virtuous man Roosevelt destroyed, in order that audacious infamy may become pre-eminent and permanent. This intense spirit of wickedness against virtue is the same that assassinated Cae sar; it crucified Christ, it sent Danton to the guillotine and it assassinated President Lincoln. Hypocrisy is the father of it, Cant is the mother of it Until Cant ceases nothing else can be gin. America today needs a powerful peace maker. It is not peace and humiliation which hould be tolerated, but peace associated with dignity and truthfulness which we must have. It were better far that we have war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt, than to submit to a shameful, humiliating, degenerating peace with demagogues in politics and hypocrites in church in the ascendancy, and national blackguards with ill-gotten pelf dominating the whole peo ple. The American Pharoah has evidently hardened his heart, and has determined to frustrate the holy efforts of the American Mo ses, whose name is not W. J. Bryan.
