tied, OppOFtAAltleS TO make dlStlDc-
tive places for themselves in the
new period that we are just entering
and promises so much for humanity
and justice. Ard right here let me
suggest that the vital Importance of
any political party will rest largely
on to what extent they grasp the
under current of events and are wise
enough to inculcate into the minds
of their constituents the principles
of true citizenship and loyalty to
principles, and without this any par
ty will fail at the polls 1t will be
reconstruction era. 1t will not do
today to appeal to the people on
principle that was established fifty
years ago, nor what any party ac-
co ilplished Is years ago. This is an
ageo of progress. it is not what hap
pened yesterday that interests peo-
pie, it is that which is likely to hap
pen tomorrow, always forging ahead.
never going backward, progress all
the time. The events of today only
interest us in so far as they appeal
to lis and are soon forgotten in the
never -ceasing Whlrl OF time. Ii
makes no difference what you were,
it what you are today; and our in
terest is centered on what is going
to happen tomorrow. The recon
strd tion which is bound to come is
is lht simply a local affair, it is not
mefely national event. but it is ali
international, worldwide expression
of opportunities, open to all comers
andavaiIable on demand.
The changes that are taking place
in Europe plainly tell US this with
un!nistakable voices. The man of
the future must realize this. he must
be ready to adjust himself to the
new conditions that will crowd them
selves On him The almighty dollar
is not as highly priced as it. used to
be; the man of exceptional ability,
of more than the ordinary talent,
will look fer his reward in two diff
ferent channels. First, in the ac-
complishment of some deed for the
public eeod; and second, only will
! be the almighty dollar which will
take second place. We do not wish
it 20 bG inferred that man to be a
good citizen must sacrifice bis OPP
portunities to accumulate a compe-
tency, but just the reverse: his 10y
alty and unseifish influence will add
to his chances for success along any
line he may follow. 1t simply means
that the almighty dollar should not
outweigh all other ambitions and
cause man to lose the interest he
might feel in his duties to his coun-
try, that is all. No, get all the dol
lars you can, honestly. Give all you
can honestly spare, and don't forget
