great educator. The people, in whose hands is the government, need just and lofty ideas on great issues, need continually to be lifted to a higher plane of public opinion. And this is needed not only when a vote hangs directly on the orator's effort, but also when the people can with leisurely mind and without partisan excitement consider large ideas in their true light. The work is now mostly done by journalism, and great and salutary is the influence; but the orator's field is by no means closed, nor will it be, so long as men delight in the living voice, the warmth of eloquence, and the presence of influential men.
