blamed the business people of a city
for cOuntenancing the continuation of
this condition. There was nothing &C
cOmplished by erratic movement.
There must be calm and considerate
action. The situation should be I'M

urally when things went wrong the
congressman was blamed. He knew
this to be so from his own experience.
Voice of People Counted.
A congressman could do little with
out the influence of the people of his
district and state behind him. Con
gress did not heed a congressman
much. 1t was the voice of the people
that bestirred congress to action, and
had been known 10 waken the senate

Trimming process effectualy had been
apr lied. The best that could be ex-
lpected, since there never would be a
backward step was that these move
ments would go forward under such
control as would make them less harm
full.
Society Expression of Cooperation.
The new science of sociology was
an effort 10 introduce the new idea OF
cooperation into society and business.
The brotherhood of man was the foun-
dalton OF all religions; the inspiration
Of all education; the motive of an
learning. Society was the perfect ex-
preston of cooperation. 1t had its be-
ginning in the family. There cooper
alton was born and nursed. Society
has organized and found expression in
government No civilization was pos
sible on any other basis. Chicago had
learned the lesson that it was not big
enough 10 thrive without cooperation.
No city was big or important enough
to do so. If the business people were
going 10 cut each others throats six
days in the week they were handicap
ping the prosperity of the community.
Ii was essential that city learn what
10 cooperate on. 1t was new role for
the business man. He must study his
way as ne went along. First the spirit
must be there. The seed must be sown
if it is not already. Once it began TO

grow it would keep on growing big
ger and with increasing benefit to the
community and the people until the
end of time. The objective was the
common cause underlying the indfvid-
ual interests. The citizen could not
afford 10 neglect it. For instance. the
railroads. One man would say that
there were four railroads entering the
city and that the merchant no longer
had to bother his head about excessive
rates. Competition would insure rea.
sOnable charges.
ChicnEO's Railroad Experience.
Mr.. MacVeagh said Chicago had "a
roads. and only recently had Weakened
, 10 the fact that they had been operat-
ing as one against the common en-
envy, the shipper. A community could
not go forward with each business

tri-cities, for his home was not so far
from them. He confidently believed
that here inside of so years-when the
Mississippi river received needed at
tention from the government-wOuld
spring up the greatest industrial cen
ter in the United States. The neu-
cleus was here. All that was needed
was native push and harmony-a get
ting together of the men who COM
prise the citizenship. Cities did not
grow. That was a mistaken theory.
They were made They would never
be any bigger or better than the peo-
pie VINO comprised them made them.
Judge Wade said he would avoid poll
| tics. although, possibly through force
of habit. he felt more at home in that
sphere than in any other. He believed
that the question uppermost in the
| commercial world at this day was that
of TRANSFORMATION Investigations had
produced facts positively that were
startling. For instance it had been

Minnesota and Wisconsin band togeth-

congress would have to listen.
Merchants FOssiIIzed.
Nothing would be accomplished by
sitting on the sugar barrel whiting
and cursing the unfitness of the con-
gresham. Judge Wade did not hest
tate to say that the merchants in some
of these western cities were dead and
fossilized, letting other cities come
right under their noses and steal away
their opportunities. He urged an
awakening of the progress that had
been permitted to grow latent, the
study of those questions that affect the
whole community, a looking up of the
laws. If the railroads were not treat

through the interstate commerce com
