A GOOD BUSINESS INVESTMENT

In this country it is becoming more
apparent every year that close and vi
tai connection there is between poll
ties and the nations material prospect
ty. The voters are realizing 1t more
keenly, as they see political policies
legislation turn out dollars on the con
trary for themselves and the country
at large. Whenever politics" has
been left to politicians the country
has suffered. Whenever the voters have
applied to politics the same gooo
sense devoted to their business or their
farms, the country has prospered. TIC
some minds politics means just a more
Or less unworthy scramble for Office. Nc
doubt there are individuals who are un-
s%crupulous aud use politics solely for
their W selfish and personal ends.
Such instances are usually and easily
discoverable. Blu take it with a great
political organization, such as the Re
cies, all beaering upon the materia
welfare of the population, and the hon
or and integrity of the nation, politics
means the selection of men, not only
to fflil an Office, but o carry out a prin
ciple of legislation or a policy of gov

progress has invariably made strides
when the power of national Legislation

the Republicans.

has never wavered from its insistenc,a

Sometimes the voters, led by speciou
arguments have temporarily divestst
the Republican party of the power OF
national legislation and turned the cor

Democrats. Invariably disaster has fol
