The Scholar in Politics.
\thn Harry (.‘nbot Lodge was
elected to Congress for the first time
from his congressional home district
his advent into public life Was ball-
od as a new and important sign of
the times. He was viewed as the
advance agent or an ever incrcal~
ing army of scholars who would
gradually lead us all to the moun~
lain top where wisdom and right-
eousness dwell in supreme ominpo~
tence.
Well. Mr. Lodge has fallen on his
Job, increasingly so! More and more
has he occred the feelings of the
people or Massachusetts until it is
now declared without a protest that
his days in public lite are number-
cd. An editorial correspondent of the

Washington or his usefulness as fol-
lows: Mr. Lodgc's loss in moral
power has been so great in recent
years that events now forecast are
inevitable. It is not merely his ad-
\‘anclng age that. is rendering him
incapable of Senate leadership. nor
it is wholly his differences with the
administration on qurstions of policy.
'lhe country and finally his can state
has lost confidence in his moral in-
spiration to righteousness and unsel-
.tisl1 dexoiion to the public interest.
[There are too many ingrowing hat-
rcds. cnmltics and Jealouslcs con-
stantly battling for the inner mas-
tery of the man to make him ‘a safe
counsellor or an excellent leader."
And what of another scholar in
politics. Senator Pepper or Pennsyl-
\ania. He too. was hailed as a public
benefactor when he was elected to
that body to shine illustriously where
Quay and Penrose haw shone in-
gloriously. A lawyer of g at ability.
a pillar in the Episcop: hurch of
the land. and a scholui .1 meticu-
lous tastes. he appears to 11am tound
the road traxeled by Mr. Lodge to
, ‘ no the road of sympathy and delight.
Already fifty per cent of the con!!-
dence left in him has departed. and
We are seeing another (allure of the
scholar and gentleman in politics de-
veloping rapidly. We are bothered to
know why it is that when opportun-
ity knocks at the door of this sort
or man in public lit; he is never at
home. or so rarely there that. the
public shrinks from additional exper-
iments with the type.
