EVERY citizen should take deep and
active interest in public affairs. Every
good citizens does this. The man who
neglects his duty to his town, his state,
his nation, is just little better. than
the one who is constantly trying to
use public affairs for his own selfish
purposes. In every community there
are people who have no regard for the
public welfare. At heart they are for
themselves alone Their personal self
ishness appears Oh all lloccasions. These
people are always active. They insist
on having finger in everything that
occurs. It is as necessary to watch
them as it is to promote deserving en-
terprises. When they champion a
cause it is to inquire the reason for
their action. When they become es-
pecially active in regard to any mat
ter, there should be inquiry as to what
they expect to get out Of it. Now
there are interests in every communi-
ty that should be held above selfish
ness. There are interests that should
be considered solely from the stand
point Of local or general patriotism.
Whoever would use these interests for
his own individual selfshness should,
be rebuked strongly.-Centralia News.

designed, not for our satisfaction or

with the accomplishment of the isdis-
