you had so fine a city here, all of
which shows how wise it is to have
conventions once in while in the
newer part Of the state, for by this
course it gives the delegates a chance
to see how other sections than their
own more familiar haunts are coming
to the front. This trip has been a
revelation to me and am certainly
more than pleased for many reasons

snowbonnd somewhere. as I can plain

lightful time as the guest your spIen-

along to meet up with some Of our
firms customers who are attending
the Merchants Association and am
more than pleased with this section OF
the great west The eastern people
have little idea Of the opportunities
out here to make money In almost any
line they wish to take up, and as for
your land, / can see no better invest
ment. In q few years these rich lands
which are now selling for what we
would call d song, Will be bringing
the same price as those 10 the middle
states, and the future Of this section
is certainly the most promising Of any
part Of the country I have visited for
many years.

The trend of affairs is linking man
to man, nation to nation, business to
business, until no one can discern
where self has any rights or privi-
leges not attached to and subordi-
nate to the general welfare. The
thing we once defined as business so
as to disassociate it from professional
or mechanical practice has so wild
ened and overlaped the meets and
bounds given it in the past Lnat all
those old distinctions have become
SO attenuated that one term alone
comprises the whole; term which
once was a badge of inferiority, a
term which even yet the narrow
minded will not accept without a
qualifying word term that must
come to its own and be the only hon
orable and noble distinction which
makes a life worthy in society.
Labor is business. This is the
only true business. At least it is the
only one which should command re-

lsif he prostitutes his abilities to the
service of wrong, to defeat the gem
eral welfare, he thereby places him
self outside the pale of good citi-
zenship, and is not entitled to recog-
milton as an honorable business man.
The distinction I wish to impress
is THAT the welfare of the people is
the highest law and therefore no
demands made by a class, craft or
association should be granted unless
they subserve the general welfare.
Self in a man would fitch the very
stars from the sky and monopolize
the light of the sun; but unself in the
many prevents him by that thing
called law. Ever men in the mass
must protect themselves against ex-
ploitation by man, the Individual.
This warfare of society with it's units,
| who are self and self alone, has
placed every restrictive law upon the
statutes. "Thou shalt not !" is the
Injunction Of the many against the
selfish few. It is the law grown out
of & necessity, and out of necessity
comes the combining of men in asso-

thing that is inimical to the public
