Chorus

> After hearty encore the club re-
sponded with a German selection.
The first speaker introduced was
the Hon. Henry L. Johnson. After
making a few apologies for his pres
ence as a lawyer, the speaker said he
had a deep and profound interest in
everything that pertained to the city s
welfare. "Whatever makes for the
general prosperity of the city is GER
tainly mine. / endorse this move and
every honorable agency employed to
develop the community. We should
back up the Commercial club IN its
endeavors for good. / endorse the
South Side Improvement association.
1t has more industry, public spirited
: ness and patriotism than all the other
organizations of the city put to-
gether. In the short life of this or
ganlzation it has accomplished much,
and, inside of the next two years, we
will have more interurban lines and
factoris. There is no reason why we
shouldn't t go forward. Our rates of
taxation are lower than that of most
cities, our streets are we'll made, the
city is one of great beauty, and yet
we have our drawbacks. Our popula-
tion has not increased at the rate it
should. There is too much conser-
vativeness here = too much hugging
the shore. What we need is a George
McCulloch to put life into the men
of wealth and make them see the
need of helping the city to advance. /"
Mr. Johnson then made a comparison
with the growth of New Castle and
other Indiana towns and wound up
by saying he would lend his time and
means to advance the city's pros
perity.
