says: "The municipal clubs, citizens
leagues, and commercial organizations
which have developed with astonish-
ing rapidity throughout the United
States during the past ten years show
an unmistakable awakening among
public spirited citizens to the necessity
OF united effort in the interest of better
municipal government and clean poll
tics. The demand is growing for men
to serve in public capacities who are
more conspicuous for capacity than
for pull. Thousands of towns. espec-
tally throughout the west are enjoying
a revival of civic spirit that is accom-
plishing much for their substantial
building up as we'll as the beautifying
OF their surroundings. This spirit is
in nearly every case the result of a
commercial organization of some kind,
citizens get together to club. It is on
some organization Of this character
that the people must depend for organ
lied effort looking to substantial i'm
provements of all kinds. Through
these clubs will come the development
OF village and city government, the
expert formulating Of charters, taxa
ton laws and other municipal neces-
sites. They draw together and put in
to active use small amounts of surplus
capital, they develop a friendly com
munity feeling and cause men to work
together for the public good who
would never work together without
such an incentive. AS the towns and
cities grow, the men who build them
up grow and become broader in view.
