SUCCEED OR FALL TOGETHER

Communities succeed or fall together.
Competitors in trade, producer and con-
sumer, employer and employee, the
private individual and the public-all
secure the best results if they work to-
gether. The success of one on legiti-
mate lines means the benefit of all, and
the failure of one means loss to all.
The more we consider these questions.
the more clearly we realize their truth.
But the unreasonable critic or agitator
is the enemy of mankind, including
himself. He obstructs and DESTROYS,
and he does not create or improve.
One who is controlled by selfish, unfair
or dishonest motives though he
may secure a temporary advantage
will never receive any lasting benefit.
This applies to all classes of people and
to every department of life. 1t APP
plies to US in considering our attitude
and conduct towards others, and, with
equal force, to those whose action or
disposition affects US. If we are sin
cere and fair in our treatment of others
we may hope for similar treatment by
chem. If we are diligent in trying to
ascertain the good in others they may
see good in us.-ELBERT H. GARY.

trlcal work along all lines, will hold its
thirty-second annual convention at

June goth and Both. and July 1st and
End. Morning and afternoon sessions
will be held.
One of the topics to be discussed at
the afternoon session of one of the
convention days will be that of eIectri-
flying steam railways, a subject that
has had more time devoted to 1t in the
past few years than any other problem
confronting the electrical world.
At the convention the heads of great
electrical works, such as Edison's, the
Westinghouse interests and the General
Electric Company, will be present. as
well as scores of engineers from every
part of the country.

Democratic press belittles the result as
a Republican victory, crediting the
outcome to local conditions and the
disaffection of the Harrison Democrats.
But allowing tor all these factors they
do not account for the enormous ma
jority given the Republican candidate
for mayor. Chicago, of all the cities
affected by the depressing policies of
the Democratic administration, was
compelled to maintain by far the
largest army of the unemployed.
There can be no question that the de-
plorable indust trial conditions of this
thriving manufacturing center made an
impression upon the voters. They
could not get direct whack at the
National administration, so they rallied
to the Republican mavoralty candidate
to give that much vent to their indigna-
ton, and notice as to their set deter
mination and line of action in 1916.
