LET ALL PULL TOGETHER

People should work for their
town and community. which
means the town and all the coun-
try round, and if a man cannot
get what he wants, the thing to
do is to yield gracefully to the
majority, if the majority want
what is good for the country as
a whole; most good measures
come from a compromise where
people get together and split the
difference as it were People
can work together and should do
so. Very few men thinlcaliSe
on everything, and if they hap
pen to agree on the same thing
as a good thing for the commun-
ity they differ as TO the way of
going after it, but the thing to do
is to make a compromise and 90
ahead. When everybody gets
mad and disagrees then things
stand still or go backward.
