One answered, "I will not," but afterwards went. The other answered, "I go," but did not go. He spoke of the harm done by those who profess an idealism to which they do not try to live up and by those who do not profess the idealism to which they are striving to attain. It is harmful to parade one's self as bet- ter than one is, but it is equally dis- honest and cowardly to parade one's self as worse than one is. In con- trast with these two types he com- mended the type that is unnamed in the story--the man who both says "I go" and does. go. Perhaps the most striking applica- tion of these distinctions was to the * present attitude of our citizenship to- wards the fundamental law of the land. After speaking of the sanctity of prop- erty as something written in our Con- stitution he spoke as follows: Scores "Personal Liberty" "If T remember right, there is also something in the Constitution that has to do with drink. It is in the same Constitution as the sanctity of prop- erty, and has an authority equal to the authority of every other part. To ayow our citizenship is to swear al- legiance to all of the Constitution. We say "I go." Do we? In Winnetka, do we? "Better than this attitude is the at- titude which says "I go not" but ac- tually does go. Nevertheless, this at- titude is not the best. If honest people would only stop laughing at petty thievery and treating as clever those who succeed in invading the property rights of their neighbors and in get- ting away with it; if sober people would only try to stop laughing at the antics of the drunks and would stop their infantile twaddle about per- sonal liberty and private conduct be- hind one's own doors and doing some- thing because we are forbidden to do it--as if what they say about personal liberty would not open the doors to theft and murder as well as to drink- ing, and as if all social advance did not come' by the 'surrender of indi- vidual liberty to some higher power that liberty may come back to us in fairer forms; as if private conduct be- hind closed doors was really private when it sends men to the work of the world with their finer powers dulled, and leaves women less fit for the noble function of motherhood; as if doing things because we are forbidden to do them does not mean pure social and political insanity--I say, if only those who go would say they go, the Constitution of the United States would be far safer than it is to-day. Need Honest Citizens "Better than either of these two at- titudes is the attitude that escapes the folly of them both and wears the virtues of them both. It is the at- titude of those who both practice honesty and are not ashamed of it; who both are sober and stand up for sobriety; who obey both what they like in the Constitution, and what they tion.
