...this surprisingly large surplus has been accumulated in spite of the huge vacuum in the treasury at the beginning of the year and in spite of the fact that the outlay for the maintenance of athletics was in many departments greater than ever before.

Both are necessary to a fundamentally ethical conception of the organization and exercise of political power as contrasted with one whose chief offsets are safety or immediate efficiency. The rule, however, works both ways. On the one hand, the adoption of the machinery of direct government finds its best justification in the fact that the modern state has to undertake a program of social amelioration, and has to assume for that purpose peculiarly serious responsibilities and call...
