coming to close.
The United States of America Is 4
great joint stock company. We all
own one share of stool. in this com
pany This entities us to one vote.
Every four years we choose a general
superintendent of the United States,
hiring him for four years.
The custom has been. from the very
first, beginning with George Washing
ton and following with Thomas JEFF
ferson, to hire the particular man We
select, if he does well. for a second
term. Both Washington and Jeffer-
son approved of the second term, and
expressed their disapproval of allow
ing any man. no matter how able, to
serve a third term. Please bear In
mind that not only are we stock
holders in the United States OF
America. but we are all employed by
this company, or one of its various
departments or divisions. We look
to it for our meal ticket.
1t is necessary to fill the office Of
general manager with calm. able,
wise. safe and efficient individual; one
whom we can trust and one who has
the respect of our competitors and
the respect, also of stockholders and
employees. He must be understood
that any man who fills position so
complex and difficult will be criticized
and misunderstood For instance. no
man was ever more criticized than
Lincoln.
Things in the United States are not
ideal. because we are not an ideal
people. We must not expect Serfcc-
ton from our general manager All
we can hope for is a wise and safe
general average. Now, in our own
little private affairs. if we would hire
"A man as general manager of shop,
store or factory and the bushes
should constantly improve and better
from the first. under this mans di-
rectlon, wouldn't we keep him as Ions
as we could? Would we not certain
ly prefer rlsking him for four years
more rather than put in a man who
is untrled-no matter how highly
recommendations one who once filled
the office and under whose admins
tration occurred the most trying crls-
Is that has come To the country In
fifty years time? Common sense CO.
tainly dictates that we should stand
by the general manager under whose
administration we have prospered.

and a vast number Of us will be out
of a job. and in the course of time
the wind may whistle through our
clothes as we walk the streets look
ing for work, or stand in the bread
line
Everything now is moving smooth
ly. Business is on good firm basis.
