In short. get together. Man is a gregari-

work alone. Social contact is as neces-

As a resident Of Newark you are at

an industry wishes to locate here, don't

The Soul of a City
(From the Newarker.)

Il is not the city's industry, nor yet
its wealth and commerce that builds its
soul II is not the noise Of cogs. nor
the smoke OF stacks that signify its
civic life. It is not by strangling the
man next door, nor by driving our shops
like slave-pens that we rear finer citi-
zenry. But il is the spirit in which we
pursue tho daily purpose, the achieve
ments of tomorrow, our responsibilities
TO God and man, to friend and foe, that
creates the soul of the city.
This grand old city had much to be
thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.
Amongst other things it is thankful be-
cause it is producer not a droning
consumer only, parasite among cities,
which a mere aggregation of men and
women so often is.
We must contemplate Newark as
more than such an aggregation. We
must contemplate our city as COM
munity with soul. a social and politi-
cal body with a public pulse, steadfast-
ly and buoyantly registering an aim for
high ideals. lofty purpose. a progress
siye intention, and a spirit that will lift
it above and beyond its materiality. In
our celebrant spirit the holiday season
should be employed to readiust the old
point of view. that view Of our dear city
which visualzes il as an industrial vor-
