" PERSONAL CHARACTER From 'Essays and Addresses' As one looks around the world, and as one looks around our own landto-day, he sees that the one thing we need in high places--the thingwhose absence, among those who hold the reins of highest power, ismaking us all anxious with regard to the progress of the country--ispersonal character. The trouble ...is not what we hold to be mistaken ideaswith regard to policies of government, but it is the absence of loftyand unselfish character. It is the absence of the complete consecrationof a man's self to the public good; it is the willingness of men tobring their personal and private spites into spheres whose elevationought to shame such things into absolute death; the tendencies of men, even of men whom the nation has put in very high places indeed, to countthose high places their privileges, and to try to draw from them, nothelp for humanity and the community over which they rule, but their ownmean personal private advantage.
