Published October, 1910. "Amen Corner Edition" in gilt on front."It would not have been inconsistent to have entitled this small volume 'Political Psychology.' It is not the purpose of the writer to indulge in didactics or polemics, but merely to describe things as they are in a particular field of activity, and by that description arounse a different attitude of mind, so that more normal conclusions may be reached. It is a wast of time to enact laws to govern the conduct of men if these laws are based on the assumption that the men to be affected are wha tthey ought to be rather than what they are. The wisest plan is to study human nature as it exists, to endeavor to uplift it, to legislate for actual conditions, and not to put upon the statute books any law which does not reflect the real consensus of public opinion. Any other course results only in the exploitation of the advocates of the measure and, late, in tis infraction, which harms the public." - p. 8.Chapters on the State of the Nation, Americanized Traits, Political Parties, Bosses, Patronage, Reform, the Press, Office Seeking, Laws and Morals, Poltical Corruption, Political Honesty, &c.Job Elmer Hedges (1862-1925), b.
