Political quarrels and bloodshed orig
mating in religious prejudice and bigot-
ry fostered by secret organizations seem
strangely out of place in this country
where the constitution provides the most
perfect freedom of conscience in faith
and worship. Yet such occurrences as
the Kansas City riot are too frequent,
especially since the A. P. A., composed
chiefly of men without any defined relig-
ious principles, has undertaken to run
things.

A town or city is just what it's citizens
make it. Given the right sort of people
and desert waste will be transformed
into a garden that shall bloom like the
rose, and a struggling settlement into a
thriving city. Given the wrong sort
Of citizens and all the advantages Of soil
climate and geographical position and
wealth will go for naught. Manuiac-
lures do not make the city. 1t is the
city that makes the manufactures. The
stockyards aud the grain elevators did
, not make Chicago; pork packing did not
make Cineinnl lti; railroad center did
not make indianapolis. In each case
the city is the cause and the business
the effect. These cities had public spr.
tied men, and they attracted the kind Of
business which is located in them that
