    CHAPTER III

    Conservatives

    and

    Conscience

    Is A CONSERVATIVE a hardened

    egoist? Does he believe in unqualified "rugged individual-

    ism" to the exclusion of traditional duties toward God

    and man? In short, does the conservative have a con-

    science? The radical tells us that the conservative is a

    "wretch concentered all in self"; but I happen to have

    a different opinion.

    "There is no necessary connection between knowledge

    and virtue," old John Adams wrote. "Simple intelligence

    has no association with morality. What connection is

    there between the mechanism of a clock or watch and the

    feeling of moral good and evil, right or wrong? A faculty

    or quality of distinguishing between normal good and

    evil, as well as physical happiness and misery, that is,

    pleasure and pain, or in other words a consciencean
