Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 July 1918 — THIS IS THE TEST [ARTICLE]

THIS IS THE TEST

There must be a single test and standard for every public policy. Every measure must be put to this test: Is it just? Is it for the benefit of the average man without influence or privilege? Does it in real fact embody the highest conception of social justice and of right dealing without regard to person or class or special interest? —Democratic State Platform, 1918.
