A WORD TO YOUNG MEN

There was time when the Re-
publican party listened to the
voice of the people and did their
bidding. But after long time in
power it became bOSS-ridden and
people. Many of it's members
interests of the country than it
did to the voice of the common
people. Many of it's MEMBERS
demonstrated by becoming insur-
gents. but they demonstrated in
vain. While promising a reduction
OF the tariff to appease the pop
ular demand, in reality it iacreas-
ed the tariff and became more of
a servant of 1.-The interests" than
ever before.
Then it was that most of it's
members turned elsewhere for re-
Lief. Some went direct to the
Democratic party: others follow :
sive," party ranks, and still 9TH
ers refused to vote at all. When
the votes were counted after the
last general election it was found
that only two of the smallest of
the states-Vermont and Utah
were still Republican.
The change was natural, and
only to have been expected. No
political party that remains in al
most uninterrupted power for so
many years will remain the real
servant of the people. The old
Democratic party had the same
experience. For more years than
the Republican party it was en-
trusted by the people with the
reins of the National governme 1T,
but when it became the tool of the
big slavery interests of the coun-
try, the people f0rsook the DEM
ocratic party just as they have
now forsaken the Republican par
ty. and turned it out of power.
The Republicans did we'll for a
time. But when that party, like
the old Democratic party before
it had done, became subscribe 1T
to the ''big interests" instead of to
the common people, the people re-
turned to the regenerated Bryan
Wilson Democracy for relief; and
they have found it. The Democra-
tic party had forsaken its old hos :
ses, the slave drivers, and again
become the only real progressive
and people-serving party in the
country, and having done works
meet for repentance the people
have again honored the party as
of yOre.
Republicans pretend to believe
that their party will be returned
to power again two years hence.
But they reckon without a know
ledge Of either history or human
nature. When once person or a

COOPERATION

Cooperation is the spirit OF the
times. Confidence and cooperation
are the greatest levers of pro-
gress. The modern municipal
ity is an industrial and CONNER
cial rather than political pro-
blem. The fact that individual
members are competitors does
not lessen their need for coopera-
ton along lines of mutual inter-
est. On the contrary. the indi-
vidual citizen should have an op-
portunity to work more effective
ly with his fellow citizens along
community business lines. The
problems of a community are in
terwoven. Men find themselves
compelled to take an interest in
many things which at first sight
might not seem to come within
tine. Therefore the activities Of
the Commercial Club should be
sufficiently broad to respond to
nearly every endeavor that effects
directly or Indirectly. the COM
mercial welfare of the city.
