AMBER ON BROS.
the YOUNG MAN IN POLITICS.

"A great many people deplore the
corruption of modern politics who do
not stop to consider the reasons for
such conditions. One of the most pO-
tent causes is the failure to instill in
the mind of the young man about to
become Il voter the true ideals of citi-
zenship. Instead Of encouraging him
in broad study of the questions at
issue and encouraging him to decide
what his course shall be on line of
principle, he is usually urged to join
the party in power because he may in
that way secure some preference or
outset corrupting his mind with the
| idea that q man must necessarily be
interested in politics for what there is
in 1t for himself. We know young
men who were apparntly Interested in
the discussion or political questions,

Ilihnenlity of view, 90 bessoape suddenly

ical wisdom had told him that if he
wanted to succeed in life he must join
the dominant party. In some cases
Every Young man who gives promise
of ability and shows signs of indie
pendcnce of thought is almost certain
to be thus approached. A clergyman
Of one of the old established churches
of this state, in conversation with the
writer, recently bemoaned the fact that
promise of becoming staunch~ and true
citizens at once upon entering business
! or professional life seemed to lose
these qualities and become passive TO
corruption if indeed they did not
openly associate with and identify
themselves with men notorious for i'm
moral living and corrupting methods.
"What is the use,'' said this good old
pastor, "for us to sacrifice our means
and energies to build christian schools
and colleges when so many of the very
young men whom we try to benefit
seem to turn out to be the worst char
acters when they enter upon their
careers?" We ventured to narrate
three or four instances .4hat had come
to our personal knowledge of attempts
made to corrupt young men by prom
Uses of prefermcnt and by other means,
and also ventured to suggest that by
giving their sanction to such political
leaders and methods practiced by
them, parents and educators were neu-
traliZing in measure the moral pre-
cepts they had labored to teach their
young men. The worthy old pastor
sighed deeply and took his leave.
Young men should be taught that the
same code of morality and sense of
honor which he as a gentleman is
bound to observe in his other rela-
tions in life are equally binding in his
political activities; that his convic-
tons should never be surrendered for
prcfermcnt: that principles endure

Don't Think 1t q Minute.

The Minnesota Forum, the new peo-

fight for the peoples party. Don't

the favorable remarks of fair minded
men and see how the populist papers

their stand boldly for the Pop. ticket,

The manufacturers realize that their
welfare and the interests of the farmers
are Identical. An advance in the price

soulful, thoughtful trusts. Here were
our poor farmers about to be charged
higher prices for their agricultural
machinery. Before they had time to
realize their danger, the manufacturers
united and established a trust.
This trust will see that the simple
unsuspecting farmer is not made to
pay more than he ought for his har-
vesters. The manufacturers were be-
