liens rather than an organized body
of office seekers. Our aim should be
the development of good citizenship;
of men who want good government;
who want it enough TO work for it, and
who know how, or if they don't know
how, are determined to find out how, to
go at the task of getting it.
When we consider the results attain
ed at the recent Republican primaries,
which on the whole are said to be
quite encouraging, and remember the
utterly disorganized conditions OF the
citizen vote; of the weak support those
of our politicians who are working for
good government received, and of the
thorough organization of the Office
seekers, it would seem clear that with
modern primary methods, and spirit
of broad-minded fairness in the deal
ing with the race and social questions,
it is possible today to elect honest and
competent officials to every important
public position. In the practical deal
ing with such questions the club has no
proper function as club, but each
member individually, as a private cit
izen, benefiting by the discussions OF
the club, encouraged by a knowledge
OF what has been accomplished else
where and instructed in the best meth
DDS of political organization, will be
able to exercise his own proper inf1u-
ence to the best advantage, from his
own point of view, and the result upon
the community cannot but be bene-
fetal
Gentlemen, I can conceive of no high
er achievement for this club than to
have impressed on this community
even in ever so small a degree, the dig
nifty, the vital necessity and in time
the solid satisfaction of useful citizen
ship, of service beyond the narrow con-
fines Of our homes and Office affairs.
Let US for a moment recall the pic
t'tre by the Man of Nazareth of the ter
rible scene when the final test of man
hood was to be made. Do not the
words still ring in your ears: Depart
from me, We cursed, for l was an hun
gered and We gave me no meat; thirsty,
a stranger. naked, in prison mas
much as ye did it not to the least of
these, my brethren, we did it not to
me-
1t is our civic duties in which we are
most recreant. Will it not therefore
be wise to give them a portion of our
attention the coming year?
And now in closing my service as
your chairman, 1 wish to thank you
all for your uniform courtesy and CO.
operation and to beg it's continuance
for my successor. AS I again enter
the ranks it is with increased devotion
to the purposes of the club and the
belief that better work is in store for
US than has yet been accomplished.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted in the appointment of
w. A. Bryan for president; c. H. Tracy,
vice-president; and w. c. Parke, Sec
retary.
A letter of greeting in response to
a similar one from the club to him
was read from Rev. DR.. Brine. the
founder of the club.

licious refreshments, the meeting adj

bility for its welfare, have taken part
in it's discussions; suggested topics and
speakers for it's programs, and in so
doing have given the club a positive
character and attractivenesS which
otherwise an organization so formless
could not possibly have developed.
For the new year the retiring Presi-
dent would suggest in general a con-
tinuance of the same policy. While we
should hold ourselves open to the dis
cussion of such topics as may be timely
and profitable, especially to the oppor-
tunities that may offer of listening to
such able men as pass our gateway, I
believe the keynote of the club for the
new year should be Good Citizenship.

Not that we restrict ourselves to prac-

which are today awaiting settlement
