it by the good old fashioned way at the
ballot box. The United States is 60
ing to be ruled by Americans. And
Wisconsin, too added the speaker as
the audience applauded.
"There is just one rule to be follow
ed to bring about the readjustment of
society and business" said Senator Viii
cox in conclusion. cit is the good old
fashioned rule, the plain golden rule
of doing to your neighbor as you would
to yourself. This old principle, preach
ed by Him of Gallilee, is the only one
that has ever worked or ever will work
in the solution of the big problems of
the world. If every man will practice
this, then we will settle the unrest now
prevalent. 1t is the way of sanity and
the road to progress.
The audience by frequent applause
showed its approval and appreciation
of the splendid and eloquent appeal.
The address proved in every way fit
ing one to open the series of lectures
planned by the Men club. The second
of these will present Harry Hansen, the
war correspondent Of the Chicago Daily
News and later in the year Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood and Senator Len
root will each address the organization.
