President FoOtner followed with an
interesting speech, in which he gave
expression to the following sentiments:
mr.. President and Members of the
Commercial CLUB of Minneapolis: 1t
gives me special pleasure to reply to
lne happy words of yourself on behalf
Of the Minneapolis Commercial club
and say Aye to every sentiment ex-
pressed i'll the brOadminded and en-
lightened words with which you
have just addressed us. The
whole tendency of modern prog
ress is based upon the principle
Of cooperation and united effort,
ana one man alone, no matter how great
or how gifted he may he, is but a single
unit, and his efforts, unaided and alone,
III any great public work, cannot CON-
mand immediate success, if, in fact,
success can be commanded at all. But
the same principle Endorsed by united
effort, If it be based upon rightful con-
ception Of trne ideas and of the proper
relation of things to each other, can
accomplish wonders. This is the priu-
cipIe which animates the two bright
young organizations of the Twin Cities.
A corporation and union of effort in
sentiment and in fact for the finite we'll
being of onr beloved cities and of the
great Northwest, to which they are
the gateway. The delightful reception
rendered US tonight will still further
cement the bonds of friendship and of
united interests which join us together
with ties which become stronger as we
see the benencial effects of that hearty
good fellowship and mutual good will
which animate the members of our
respective organizations, separate in
name but united in purpose.
minneapolis and ST. Paul are placed
so close to each other that, in fact. their
Interests are but one, and clear per.
ceptiou of this fact. followed by united
effort i'll all that appertains to North
western affairs cannot but result power
fully to the benefit of both cities.
1t is such informal gatherings as this,
with mutual Interchange of
ideas and comparison of thought. that
bring US closer together and inject US
with that enthusiasm, tempered with
Judgment, which is the initiative of
great enterprises. We of the ST..
Paul Commercial club take hearty
pride III seeing the rapid adj
vahcement made in all lines of
| progress by the city at the falls. and
its only effect will be to cause US to
see you and try to surpass you. Pride
In each others mutual advancement
and combined effort in all acts which
will tend TO our mutual advancement
| will make us in truth and deed one
community, mighty and indivisible. So
! let us hoist our flag and heep 1t waving

| efforts. We must know no st. Paul, no
| Minneapolis, no Duluth or any other
city, but put forth our best efforts for
the benefit of the Northwest and our
| great state of Minnesota.

warmly for the delightful entertain.
