4.9/5 (22915 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Peace, Power and Politics: Modern Occurrences Portrayed in Ancient Way The times have been strange to Americans who are accustomed and feel privileged to scan and criticize the acts of public servants. We have gone fast and far. Without intent to blame anyone and with due appreciation of the fact that much which has happened was inevitable; still, there are those who would have liked it had less centralization of power been deemed necessary and had greater distribution of government management been made among the political parties. Perhaps something in the way of a coalition cabinet would have satisfied many of us and would have put to sleep the feeling that extreme power, once secured, was meant to be retained. It would be idle to try to disguise the dissatisfaction of many of us at the turn of various events. We simply endured and waited for the time to come when we might, with propriety, comment without fear of injuring a greater cause while championing a lesser. But convictions, unsatisfied, did not die even if they slumbered. It is not intended to portray here either the opinion of the writer or of anyone else as to events which occurred but it is intended to show, entirely fearlessly, how some phases of the recent past may be made to appear if one be so inclined. If this recent past is portrayed, not as one would think of portraying the days of Lincoln or of Jefferson, it is because there is nothing in them which would remind one of such days. If characters are shown as changeable of mind, it may be because it was necessary to an accurate portrayal. Or, if characters are made to appear autocratic in their ways, it may be because that impression has actually been created with some of us. At least, it may safely be said that that at which we can laugh has no power to hurt and that the funny side once presented renders it impossible for the object of ridicule ever to be taken seriously if engaged in any harmful undertaking. On the other hand, true greatness, real honesty of purpose, but thrive midst criticism and jokes at their expense.
