THE PASSING THRONG.

One Of the congenial fellows of the city
is W. H. Wilson, who deals in men s cloth

his place over, which did, and believe me,
it's some place, but l found he had two part

not only knew him. but have done business
with him, and our business relations having
always been pleasant, he seemed equally
pleased to return the greeting. He passed
by and then as | stood talking to the Rev.
shoulder and he said, 81 just stopped to

AM GOOD CITIZEN?

Keep out of politics." is a warning given constant

themselves in public affairs The civic standard is
low in any community where a reputable citizen who
seeks office encounters suspicion, reproach or OBJ
loquy. The full powers confided to the people pre-
suppose the participation of all citizens in the bust
hess of government.
Every citizen is Sin politics. The constitution
Of the United States puts him there, and his con-
science grants no exemptions.
have heard men boast that they never perform
jury service, or that they have a pull" that gains
them some other immunity. A corruptible public
official finds his job Improbable unless he is able to
enter into partnership with another bad citizen.
If l am more concerned with my privileges and
immunities than with my duties, | am skidding; | am
en- the way to becoming a bad citizen. If | neglect
to vote because it is inconvenient to meet that obliga-
ton, or l assume that my n%eighbors will protect me
with their ballots, | am a dodger and a Stacker.
Blind confidence in government by good luck is
bound to bring disaster. The constant vigilance and
intelligent action of all the people is essential to en-
l%ightened, capable government.
Am l a good citizen? is the first question in the
American catechism. Government is a complex bus
mess, but citizenship may be reduced to three essen
tals: Understanding, loyalty and service.
This morning l saw a boy scout walk to the mid
die OF the street, pick up a piece of paper, and deposit
it in the litter box at the next corner. He didn't have
to do that; it was my business quite as much as his.
