Whilst waiting for the morrow, the
young man plods on in patient service
to his political masters, waiting foI
his master to say when he shall have
emancipation from his slavery for
men, but nowhere are the young men
wait until tomorrow, but act today.
Let us fit ourselves at once for this
national honor and service. Out of
respect for our country and ourselves
let us be sure we educate ourselves
in the right sort of economy. We are
young, ambitious and have ability,
why therefore, are we not entitled
recognition? Why shall not we right
fully demand a portion of the recon-
pense allotted TO party workers? In
all fields the young man stands TO the
front, except In that of politics. The
rank and file of all parties are young
men, but no where are the young men
standing TO the front i'm the line of
political compensation. Shall we
serve longer when we are strong
enough to command? Shall we take
when we can give? In the contempla.
tion Of these mighty gifts within our
grasp let us not forget to advance
from the present method Of making
the Office one Of sustenance alone, but
one of temporary honor. Let our
spontaneous confluence so temper the
element of selfishness so prominent
among men, that we shall find Justice
'on every hand and all co-workers
rightmlly recognized Once the young |
man takes the initiative his success
Is assured provided he follows along
lines OF integrity and purity of pur-
pose. Remember though,
A jewel fallen within the mire,
viii sparkle still and stll aspire.
But dust, although on wings it fly.
Is dust when lifted to the sky.
But you may ask, by what means
shall the rising Republicans attain
this coveted altitude? You may say
the success lies in the present meth
DDS. You may argue his inexperlence;
his youth; his possible optimism. But
10 these arguments there is an answer
far above any one man or set of men
10 stay and that Is the power Of pro-
gress, wherein the destnies of all men I
ire found. A force which rules the
vents OF men whether with or against
lis will. IL is the trend Of cirCum-
stances which makes plain the path +,
or the morrow. The reliable indica.
ions thus seen, constitute the basis
