GET TOGETHER FOR
THE GOOD OF ALL


men he did so in the sense Of their
being efficient.
There was no question as to what
party the man represented, IL he was
efficient then he was the man for them.
These other bodies have for their view
the securing Of better and more econo.
mic conditions for the towns that are
their homes They take an interest in
such matters as street paving, lighting
and widening street cars and in fact
the general all round improvements of
their towns. They work in with the
public officers and give them all the
! help they can. They get together and
/ try to devise ways of getting more
( trade diverted their way They ex'
anime new business and thresh out its
merits.
All in the open.
The best thing they do, however is
to give absolute publicity TO the whole
of their deliberations. They not only
advise the rest of their members but
they also let the whole of the outside
public know what is gong on and what
they have decided is the best course to
pursue in any matter that may arise
and in this way, by gaining the respect
and trust of everybody they are able
by their solid front to make a better
showing than otherwise. Their own
town was one that had a big future
before it, they had trade with the
/ Orient, great military activity, the
Panama Canal was coming to help them
and they should all combine together
| in some way or another.
The club was not fulfilling its mis-
! sion to the full extent. 1t was all
very well TO meet over the luncheon
table and no doubt that was very
good thing in its way but it was not
enough. At the same time, however,
he was not prepared to admit that all
! the organizations in town should ANAL
gamate. This was hardly feasible
scheme. (Applause.) Each one had
certain intrinsic interests of its own.
| What he would suggest was that say
| three members of each association
should meet and talk different matters
over as they came up and then let
| everybody know the result of their
| deliberations. 1t was only by some
united effort of this kind that they
could hope to better their city, then
government and to secure a great
! efficiency in their social life.

L. Tenney Peck showed by his speech
that he is close student. His OBJ
servations were of the greatest interest
to those present. Naturally, he tolC

the U. S. A. as the greatest country or

found that he had a great deal to learn

origin, of all their present-day customs

they were prone to think they had in

enormous traffic across the ocean, it ha

one of fifty thousand tons and one thou

was their railroads. One trip he too
