MANUFACTURERS TAKE

Ont of the West. which hasn't at any
time heen really convinced that there
was any such thing as hard times,
comes the greatest encouragement over
the business prospect. The West get
more money for its soil products IN
1905 than ever before, and 1t has been
consuming everything from hairpins to
terrapin at an unprecedented rate. Its
money has been flowing East and start
ing the factories.
The West. in short, has been pulling
hard for prosperity all along. One
Western railroad hauled one hundred
ears of automobiles west from Chicago
IN December. three machines to the
car. The West pIows with automo-

JUDGE GRAY'S PLEA FOR IN
DVIDUALISM IN POLITICS.

Ii would be assuming a degree OF
confidence in the sudden reformation o.
men from a bad but almost general
habit Of mind to expect that even the
tocsin note of a great leader like Judge
George Gray, zone blast upon whose
bugle horn is worth a thousand men,
can have instant effect. Yet IN ms
speeeh before the Netherlands Society
in Philadelphia, several days ago, Judge
GRAY sounded with a clear note what
or present national peril is-wherein
it lies, namely, our tendency to fall IN
line behind leaders, big or little, and to
turn over to them our political duties,
power. and responsibility.
There is nothing new in Judge Gray s
statement, but coming from a man so
impartiaIy commanding public conf
dence. it acquires a new character. But
the remedy? What Is it, Who has 1T
To saw to a man that he, and you, and
all of us. ought separately and indi
viduaIy to study and finally and hon
estlv to exercise our political rights Is
very wei, but to persuade him really
10 do these things is another and II
most cases an impossible thing.
The fundamental difficulty lies IN tai
average mans lack of strength, IN hi
/ general exhaustion from his labors ant
| in the heIplessness which most mel
/ feel in the presence of public problems
In deerying the political boss "
must not forget that he is an agenc
that is created not by himself, but b
ourselves. not because he Is strong, bu
k5sause we are weak. To quote--in an
other sense altogether from that !
which their author used them-the IN
mortal words of Patrick Henry, "Whe
shall we be stronger 2" The existin
political situation, more especially
our municipal governments, Is such ths

allied and glorihcd traitor, delivers to
coterie OF exploiters the actualitie

n at a stupendous profit to the vel
same people who carelessly parted 1vil
them. Thus the people OF today al
their descendants must pay for tn
which had our voters been vigilant al
honest for themselves and their ch
dren would have continued to be the
20 own.
