Show Fcienc of l'olitics. Colorado Sun. boincone once said that the science of politics was a knowledge of the springs of human action, a familiarity with the common average motives of men. And then the same person might have added with peculiar supplementary supplemen-tary correctness that tho art of politics washkill, deftness, adroitness, fineness, subtlety in working those springs of ac- ; tion and playing upon those motives. The motives'of men are of all varying degrees and characteristics, from the lowest to the highest, from the basest to the purest. And the man with tho power of supreme control is the man of the loftiest, the finest, the purest motives mo-tives and aspirations. Holding the supreme su-preme things iu him: elf, he can see all things below. As the person standing on the great mountain peak clearly sees all thiugs on the main range, tho foothills, the plain and the valleys below, be-low, liut he in tho valley sees not the i thing- of thegre.it summit. |
