Excerpt from Cyclopedia of Civil Government: Embracing More Than Eleven Hundred Titles Relating to the Citizen and the Government Under Which He Lives There is scarcely an obligation of citizenship in a republic more imperative than a clear comprehension of the principles of government. The Federal Union is a gigantic corporation, in which control is exercised by representatives selected more or less carefully by its millions of members. This control, or government, can definitely extend no further than permitted by the multitude who delegate authority. In their hands is a sure and swift remedy for mismanagement and evil wrought by conscienceless directors, for the people who grant authority are privileged to cancel a commission when their judgment prompts them to do so. The ballot in the hands of an uninformed, heedless or prejudiced man or woman is a menace to orderly regula tion of the nation's affairs. We need to study the complex ities of our Government; we should know the quality of service expected of those who seek our commission to rule, and then should measure men by the standards our judg ments impose; we should understand our personal relation to the great, powerful organization whose acts affect our welfare.
