questions, and is doing good work.
The ST. Paul Commercial club is also
active in this respect. a
Mr.. Burnham asks whether this
participation in municipal politics
means that commercial bodies are de-
parting from the correct practice Of
keeping out of politics. He answers in
the negative, because he says munich
pal politics is mainly a question Of
business. Business men are coming
to look upon municipal government
as business-part of their business
and as something entirely disasso-
ciated with those questions Of national
policy which give us our great national
political parties. -
When business men universally APP
preciate this we shall as soon think
of deciding municipal questions along
party lines as we would church ques-
tons, or Chamber of Commerce ques-
tons, or bank directory questions.
