MrXICO,s coon EXAMPLE.

The Mexico Herald produces the follow
ing editorial article:

for the good Of Mexico and all Of Mexico

in the affairs Of the whole country. He
has said he woul2 like TO live fifty years

wish that he might. for It will be his

porous and cOntented nation. There be-
ing no ofiice-seeking on huge scale here.

and other profitable and comfortable
themes. We do not have 10 occupy space
every day TO tell how the Hon. Mr.
Blank was with the President two hours
urging his "claims" to the mission TO
Belgium. or the consula te-generalship at
Yokohama. Thank heaven. the President
Of Mexico has something more useful and
important TO do!
There is in this food for thought for
those who believe that prosperity must
come through legislation. and that we
must continue TO have hard times until
the Government shall give us better
times.
We have often contended. and do con-
tend. that the less the Government has
TO do with business affairs, the better
off the country will be. The republic OF
Mexico has set the people OF this coun-
try an example. which they would do
well to follow
So far from beneftting the business of
the country, our lawmakers and poll

business and impair confidence II the
Government will only hold hands off and

If the people Will 90 manfully to work
and depend upon their own energies and
industry. rather than upon the Govern
rnent, prosperity will return.
The thing for the people OF this coun-

and, as far as possible, to keep politics
out OF business. That seems TO be the
course that Mexico is pursuing, accord

A COMMON PLATFORM.

There are differences of opinion as 10
the benefits of the country at large
OF great business combinations, but
all agree that organization is the order
of the day. and that almost all we'll
managed business organizations are finan-
cially successful. What many individuals
working separately cannot accomplish,
a combination Of individuals working
Jointly with one purpose towards COM
mon end, may bring to a successful issue.
We have in the city of Richmond a
large number Of intelligent energetic en-
terprising citizens who have made a sue
cess Of their individual affairs but the
general business OF the city of Richmond
is not progressing in proportion to its OPP
portunities and advantages.
We believe that this is due almost en-
tirely TO lack of cooperative effort. Each
onterprising citizen has been working for
himself. but there has not been that COM
bination of working forces that is neces-
sary TO the upbuilding Of the city.
The city of Richmond is a corporation.
possessing many of the features Of
business corporation. There is COM
munity Of interest and 1t has been said.
and not improperly that the citizens of
the city are the stockholders in the cor
poration. We would not ignore the fact.
OF course that there are higher functions
OF a municipality closely related to those
of national and State Government, but in
another sense 1t is equally as true that
a municipal corporation is largely bust
ness corporation.
II. therefore, behooves us as individual
citizens to do whatever we can to pro-
mote the general prosperity of the com
munity in which we live. with the full
assurance that every such benefit is in a
degree shared by all.
we believe that the great need of Rich
mond to-day is an intelligent, well-de-
fined. progressive organization of bust
ness men 10 promote the general interests
OF the city. We would not for moment
deprecIate the untiring efforts and the
excellent work OF the Chamber Of Com
merce and other business organizations
in the city, but these organizations them
selves are painfully aware OF tho fact
that there has been lack Of Corpora
ton on the part of the individual citizens
OF the city towards the desired end.
The Chamber Of Commerce is now
making another strenuous effort to tnaug
urate a forward movement In Richmond,
looking TO the development " trade. and
we are gratifed 10 see a general DISPOSE
ton on the part o, the people to CO
operate in that EFFORT. There Is no shadow
of doubt in our MIND that II ths same
zeal and interest be taken IN this move
mcnt that men can take in private cor
porations OF which they ore ehare-hold.

In commenting on the fact that SUD-
scriber had ordered the discontinuance
OF a Columbian paper, because the paper
did not voice his sentiments. the Charles
ton News and Courier says;
There is no greater intolerance than
the intolerance OF public opinion, there
is no more intolerant man than the man
who falls out with newsr aper because
it does not agree with him"
This is one Of the discouragements OF
the newspaper profession. We hear a
great deal about the evils Of a subsidized
press, and the great need for an indepen-
dent press, but the American people do
very little TO encourage independence In
newspapers. A newspaper that has an
opinion Of its own, and vigorously main
tains it in defiance of party and popular
clamor meets with little encouragement
in such course from the masses.
