The Man With the Muck-Rake
Perry Belmont of New York, in a
letter addressed to - John A. Mason,
president of the Bronx Press club;
says:
"Returning to Washington after a
long absence, I have had great satis
faction in renewing agreeable rela
tions with the correspondents of the
great newspapers, some of whom 1
have known fifteen or twenty yeartiv.
In many cases I have found the same
men still here, actuated by the same
principles, having the same code and
by public men recognized in all the
departments of the government as
most Important factors in our political
system,
"Often from a mistaken sen3e of
propriety they hate refrained from
discussing or but lightly have touched
what ,hey could and in some instances
ought to haye disclosed. Yet as a
whole they , have proved themselves
fully alive to the responsibility of
their relation to the newspapers, theyj
represent and to the public, and they
are not unmindful of their duties as
citizens.
"The faults of any administration
are thus at times "and under such
conditions rather minimized thaii em
phasized, because it is the duty of
party leaders of the opposition to
point out failures" and subjects for
criticism. It is only; recently, during
the present administration, that the
leaders of both parties, especially
the senate, and the Washington cor
respondents have been in substantial
accord.
"During his whole political career
the president has been very skillful
in and has greatly benefited by his
relations with the press. Finding an
unsatisfactory attitude on the part of
conscientious correspondents in his
controversy with the senate, he
availed himself of a magazine writer.
"Some of them have gone too far
and the reaction which was bound
to follow has come. A Just apprecia
tion of the true character of the up
per legislative branch has found ex
pression' in many quarters, and the
great ability and independence of. the
senate of the 'United States have made
the deepest impression on the coun
try, j
"Recognizing the very evident drift
of public opinion he quickly, with hia
usual ability and agility, attempts to
place himself in a new light as -'tho
defender of the senate.
"The president has always pro;
ceeded on the lines adopted by him
in this emergency. At the outset
brandishing the 'big stick' over the
Santo Domingo treaty, the Panama
question, the Philippine tariff and the
statehood bill, but having found re
sistance and defeat he invited con
fidence with those to whom his ulti
matum had previously been addressed.
This identical , course was pursued
with respect to the -railroad rate bill,
land, as might have been expected,
there are palpable indications that
the difficulties and opposlton encoun
tered have brought about a complete
change of front. .
"President Lincoln said that all the
people could not 1)0 fooled all tho
time. There are times when the opti
mism created by great prosperity, en
gineering short memories in regard to
even the most recent and important
executive and congressional acts,
renders such an attitude partially and
temporarily successful.
"Excessive criticism is to be con
demned mainly because attention is
often diverted from those wlio are
really culpable, to those who are un
justly assailed. But the cue now
seems to have been given to assume
a tone of indignation at the turning
of the searchlight ot criticism upon
all those holding public positions. It
finds expressioii in a reference 'to
'the man with the muck-rake who
naturally is denounced, by everyone.
That reference recalls another char
acter in 'Pilgrim's Progress Mr.
Facing-Both-Ways, an attitude to bo
avoided by all intrusted with public
office, whether of minor responsibility
or the most exalted In the gift of
the American people.1'
