Letters from the People

About once every so often a man
writes to the Kennewick Commercial
club, and wants to know why in blazes
some specific things that he thinks
ought to be done for the benefit of the
community, are not done.
Sometimes this man is riding a
hobby that is impossible and useless.
Other times he is merely speaking his
prejudices. Still other times he is
several years ahead of possibilities.
But most of the time this man is dead
right and the things he wants done
are things that ought to be done.
But he loses track of one thing that
it takes nearly every Commercial club
member several years to learn-that
a commercial club is a pretty extreme
example of democracy and that it
can only move about as fast as the
sentiment of the body of business men
that compose the club.
If business men Individually are
thoroly awakened to something that
ought to be done for the good Of the
city, the commercial club can do that
thing efficiently and well. But most
things that ought to be done for the
good of the city are rather remote in
their personal application, or are so
surrounded with corollary circum-
stances that the great majority of the
business men do not get clear Wis
ion of them.
In dealing with these matters the
club must move slowly. The most that
its officers can do is to awaken the in
terest of the individual members and
try to turn that interest in the direc-
ton they think it ought to go.
The commercial club is particu-
larly provoking type of democracy in
that too many business men are so en-
crossed in the details of their own
personal affairs that they do not re-
alize how intimately their own affairs
are dependent on the progress Of the
whole community. As long as they do
not give a large measure of their at
tention to the community problems
it is pretty hard to develop a unani-
nifty of sentiment among them.
To try to awaken that interest in
in the minds of each man in Kenne-
wick and thus bring into existence
as constructive a process as possible
is the foundation of the Kennewick
Commercial Club.
Sydney H. Whitehorn, Secretary.

Shocking Dissipation
