Politics and Business Allies.

Mt of cooperation, the Governor said he
had often heard men say that politics must
have nothing to do with business, and that
ne had often wished that business had
nothing to do with politics He expatiated
on this line by saying:
And yet when you think of the matter
seriously there can be no separation ne
! tween business and any other interest in
! life, because the foundations ~ our hfe
are necessarily physical and necessarily
| economical and you can't deal win any ,
thing that concerns the IRE OIL men, o, or
with questions lust such as you are
dealing with. One Of the things that strikes
me with regard to all cooperative assocld-
| tons Is that the characteristic feature VI
an active life Is cooperation.
We alone among the animals that IRE
ouent the surface of the earth associate
ourselves together In common enuea'o,
where we subordinate a certain amount ot
| individual interest to the common lnleIe %
which We realize sustains the innuehce ",
| the Individual The very word CIVILIZATION
means the Joining In civil society TOT com,
| in proportion as It can sink individuals III
the common interest Our business III ne
| from one point of view, as human lnol.
! viduals, Is TO serve the common veal 80
that we have all our Nr iens Se ase
[ have sometimes known foreigners 20
| laugh at us for boasting of the size or the
United States, and they nave very na, !.
| uraly asked whether we were Responsible
for the size of the continent. we necessa
rily answer that we didn't make the conu-
nent, but we are proud OF Its size because
we have mastered 1t and used IL from
ocean TO ocean without breaking our civil
| connections with one another, and the man
Is as big as the thing that he does.
| We are as big as the tasks which we nave
accomplished, and we have knit co-cpera-
| tIpa tOQether
| stantial Union from one coast OF this great
| continent to the other and covered greater
| area than any other single cElllleu 10
| ton has ever covered in peaceful co-opera-
ton and unity, so that there is reason Tor
being proud Of the size Of America.
Security was the basis OF prosperity In
national life, he said and continued:
We should all make greater security fos
! the tomorrow, and II we do this tne
sooner will we be able to nuiet the dls-
! turbances and disquietude OF our working
classes. You, too. would be disturbed anu
uneasy II you did not know what would
happen to you tomorrow or the next day.
| You must make your foundation Of hooe
| the foundation OF confidence, and then all
| the countries Of the world will clarity tnen-
selves and we can overcome that impa-
| thence. You must be sure that the game ~
going to last long enough for you 70 go
| through with that confidence, and so every
| enterprise like this should be conducted IN
| the spirit OF trustees for the welfare of the
|
nation.

At noon the Governor laid the cornerstone
of the new Young Mems Christian Assocta-
ton Building in Atlantic City, and incl
dentally spoke his mind regarding condi-
lions In the seashore city. saying:
There is not a community in the world
| that has a better opportunity for a life
| made splendid by everything that is me
than Atlantic City has, and one OF the
| things 7 most rejoice In Is the process OF
roralization which has been showing itself
| In Atlantic City, with the opinion OF At
lantic City behind IT, | have never thought
that the people Of Atlantic City approved
! the reputation OF Atlantic city, or that
they made the reputation Of Atlantic City.
