Many cities might be fittingly
termed slumbering cities. They
pursue the even tenor of their
way, taking their portion, gooo
or bad, with equanimity. There
seems to be an element of Moslem
fatalism. Sucn cities usually are
retarded in their progress. This
is due to n condition of citizenship
which is usually called a lack OF
ci.rc consciousness.
The great cities of the country
ters of commerce and industry be.
cause the citizens we're proud
of their citizenship. At home
they say, Great town we have
here, best place in all the world. "
When travelling they repeat con.
stantly: Yes. friend, you may
come from a fine town. but you
should see our city. There is moth:
ing like it 10 all the world"
Cities usually measure up to the
civic consciousness of their citizens.
Where the citizens are awake and
boosting all the time. where the
PEOPLE believe that there is no 9th
err place just AS good as heir hor,r
town, there we usually find a spi, it
to make the city measure up to the
reputation which it Is given by the
citizens.
With civic consciousness there
are always combined pride and en-
terprise.
People frequently wonder why
there are such in every community

would suppress constructive criti-
ism, but idle fault-fnding is al

Equally %precocious in politics, Van
Buren, was chosen a delegate to a
political convention before he was of
age; IA appointed a county surro-
gate at twenty-five; elected to the
state senate at thirty; appointed at
torney general of the state at thirty
two and at t~hirty-eight he was select
ed a senator of the United States.
Already he was at the head of the
albany Regency" which continued
to run the Democratic machine in
New York and to dominate the nation
al councils Of that party for sixty
years to come. His skill in political
manipulation made him known all over
the country rs the Little Magician"
Playing the game of politics only
as a New Yorker can and as all New
Workers in public life do, Van Buren,
was the first to make his way into
the White House in gumshoes. Per
haps his caution as a politician has
lost him the credit due him for his
craftsmanship, which he displayed IN
more than n grave emergency. A
popular story reflected the general
impression Of his artful lodging.
Once while he was a passenger on a
Hudson river boat an anti-Van
Buren, man said to a Van Buren, man:
I'll bet you the price of the pas
sage that you can't go to him now
and get a straight answer to the
simplest question that you can ask"
The challenged man, confidently
taking the bet, went up to his favor
lite and inquired If he did not think
the weather was fine.
"Well," was the careful measured
reply, shat is a relative term
and . . :"
"By thunder" the Van Burenite
broke In, as he turned to his chal-
lenger, you've won."
Van Buren, became the pioneer
national campaign manager when he
made an extended electioneering our
for Jackson. Webster declared that
he did more for the election of "Old
Hickory than any other 10 men.
In that fierce Jackson campaign.
Van Buren, took the party nomination
for governor Of New York. Being
elected, he resigned from the senate.
and then. after only two months in
the goyernorship, he resigned agaia
to be secretary Of state in the new
cabinet. Thus he held within IL
weeks three Of the highest prizes In
public life and ut the same time was
heir-apparent to the presidency itself.
The Penn's Grove record., 1920-12-10

MARTIN VAN buren, was the
1v1 first machine made politician in
the presidency, and he was more than
that when put to, the test; he was the
first of the presidents to have been
born under the American flag, rather
than under the British, and he and
Roosevelt are the only presidents not
wholly descended from inhabitants of
the United Kingdom.
Sprung from Dutch families on both
sides, Van Buren, married into a Dutch
family, and was able to speak the
language of his ancestors. He was
born and he died in a little Rip Van
Wrinkle village on the east bank of
the Hudson, where his father was a
farmer and incidentally a tavern keep
er. Leaving school and entering a law
office in his native town at fourteen,
after the manner Of most American
leaders from Jackson to Lincoln, he
picked up as he went along such ed
ucation as he gained. Yet not one
of our many lawyer presidents has
% a higher rank in his profession.
While only a boy so small that he
had to stand on a bench to address
the jury, he scored his first success at
the bar. At forty, he retired from
practice with money enough for a man
with a Dutch thrift, which was mis-
taken for stinginess by the less pru-
