Origin,

Rotary was born February 23 1905 Four Chicago
men, one lawyer mining operator the third coal
dealer and the fourth tailor, decided that day to
organize club. These men, drawn together through
mutual acquaintance, proposed series of meetings at
their respective places of business.
The circle enlarged by representatives from other
lines OF business SO that within year membership of fifty
reached.
As the time for each to the host he gave dis
course on his business that his guests might learn
something worth while regarding it. and thus broaden
their own knowledge concerning various businesses outside

The Rotary Platform

nECOCNIZINC the commercial basis of
~ modern life as a necessary incident in
III u human evolution, the Rotary Club is or.
ganized to express that proper relation between
private interests and the fusion of private in
terests which constitutes society.
To accomplish this purpose more effectively
the principle of limited membership has been
adopted, the Rotary Club consisting of one
representative from each distinct line of busi-
ness or profession. Each member is benefited
by contact with representative men engaged in
different occupations and is enabled thereby to
meet more intelligently the responsibilities of
civic and business life.
The basis Of club membership insures the
representation of all interests and the DOM
ination of none in the consideration of public
questions relating to business. On account of
it's limited membership the Rotary Club does
not constitute itself the voice of the entire
community on questions of general impor-
tance, but it's action on such questions is of
great influence in advancing the civic and busi--
ness welfare of the community.
The Rotary Club demands fair dealings, honest
methods, and high standards in business. No
obligation, actual or implied, to influence
business exists in Rotary. Election to mem-
bershp therein 10 an expression of confidence
OF the club in the member elected, and of its
good will towards him. Az his business is an
expression of himself, he is expected actively
to represent it.
Membership in the Rotary Club is a privilege
and an opportunity and its responsibility de-
mands honest and efficient service and thought
tulness for ones fellows. Service is the basis
of all business.
He profits most q0ho serves best
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1920-02-25
Objects i

The "objects" of the Rotary Club are to encourage
and foster
High ethical standards in business and professions;
The ideal of Service the basis of all worthy enterprise
The active interest of every Rotaran in the civic COM
mercial social and moral welfare of his community;
The development of broad acquaintanceshp as an
opportunity for Service as well as an aid to success
The interchange of ideas and business methods as
means of increasing the usefulness of Rotarians;
Inc recognition OF the worhness of all legitimate occupa
tlons and the dgnyng the occupation of each Rotaan
as atording him an opportunity to serve society.

In 1908, San Francisco, having learned of the
Chicago Rotary Club, patterned after it. This was
IN turn rapidly followed by others. Eventually the
National Board of Commissioners, a delegate body
representing fourteen clubs arranged the first National
Convention This was held in August, lolO at Chicago
AT that time the term National Association Of Rotary
Clubs" was adopted but few years later was changed
to International" in recognition of Canadian club
represented and an application for membership from
club which had been organized in London.

WILSON IS ANXIOUS
TO JOIN CAMPAIGN
Will Hold AIoof, However, Until
Governor Cox Requests
His Help
cox AVOIDS WHITE HOUSE
BIZ q Stan Correspondent

Washington. Sept. 16. - President
Wilson patiently awaits his cue to get
into the presidential campaign. Only
the expected word has not come. and
the President is reported to be getting
restless.
While ardently desiring to help the
ticket in whatever way his physicians
will permit. Mr.. Wilson will, do moth
ing unless Governor Cox requests 1t.
Then he will conform his activities to
the nominees suggestions, whether they
call for speeches, statements, inter
views or. public appearance. Such
is his decision as conveyed to his friends.
Those nearest the President point out
that the result of the election will mean
fully as much to him as to Governor
Cox. His heart is bound up in the
outcome. Yet, until the nominee
speaks, Mr.. Wilson will remain on the
sideline. Regardless of how much he
wants to get into the game, he must
await orders. He is determined to do
nothing that might create confusion or
cause possible embarrassment to Gov
ernor Cox or party managers.
President Taking Vacation
With the elections less than seven
weeks distant, such is the situation
at the White House. where the Presi-
dent is taking a virtual vacation from
engagements and work. Cabinet meet
ings are apparently off for the present.
The President has received no visitors
Even his motor trips seem to be shorter
and less frequent. He is drawing alooi
more and more, and although able to get
about unassisted, except where exer-
fint, t- rapntrn1 thora IN ha pr
more disposition to bring him to pub
! lie view than there was year ago
after he was stricken.
Representatives persist that the Pres
ident will appear in public and make a
| least one campaign speech between now
and November. Even this plan, how
ever, assuming the President physica
condition would allow it, is subject tc
approval by Governor Cox.
Except for the candidates visit t.
! the White House in July. when it wa
announced he and the President wer
| in complete harmony on the League o
| Nations, Governor Cox has stayed dis
kcreetly away from the capital He ha
avoided everything that might enabl
his critics to label him Wilson brand.
In his speeches there is only an occa
sional reference to the President an,
his illness. Mr.. Wilson's close asso
ciates in the administration look wit
! dismay upon this circumstance Admit
tedly they would be much happier wer
the President to be projected NOR
prominently into the campaign as tn
author of its one outstanding issue.
Democratic Camp Divided
There are two schools Of thought, o
course, on the question Of Mr.. Wilson
value in the campaign. One group o
Democrats regard the President as liza
bility. The members of his own admin
istration consider him the party's great
est asset Governor Cox, before hi
nomination, was outside the Wilson
family circle and inclined to be critica
of much that the administration ha
done.

Mayor Thompson issued statements that
the city would give his candidates from
80, 900 to 100, 900 plurali.y, while Lieu
tenant Governor Oglesby asserted that
he would carry the state outside the
metropolis by $50, 900, each contending
that the regional victory of the other be
overcome.
"Uncle joe Renominated
Among the congressional contests was
that Of Joseph G.. Cannon, of Danville
in the Nineteenth district. He was be
hind on early returns, but finally
forged to the front for a victory.
Regardless of the final outcome in thu
state contests, Mayor Thompson wor

chinery In Cook county by nominating
his candidate for county Judge.
The contest was equally close for al
state offices on the Republican ticket
but still was uneven enough to make
possible the nomination of some mer

and who have only one aim---to re-
place the Democratic administration at
Washington with Republican admin
istration. With many voters this one
idea Of turning the Democrats out ex :
-cludes the consideration Of any other
issue.
A little while ago Republicans here
were afraid that this sentiment was not
strong enough to insure the state to
Harding, much less to cause the re :
election of Watson. But lately they
have grown confident. One event that
gave them confidence was the registra-
ton; This was strong in Republican
wards and sections and weak in Demo
cratic localities. Moreover, the regis
tration of women was especially strong
in Republican sections.
In some places 1t even exceeded that
of the men. From this the party lead
crs conclude that the Republican women
are active and interested and that the
Democratic women are Indifferent.

Electric Power Plant at Mt. Ayr
Burned, 81,

The power plant at Mt. Ayr owned
by the Iowa Southern Utilities Co.,
which operates the light plant in
Leon and other towns in southern
Iowa, was destroyed by fire which
was discovered about midnight
Wednesday of last week, the fire
starting from spontaneous combus-
tion in the coal bins, and the entire
plant was destroyed, the loss being
estimated at 100000. The pump
station of Mt. Ayr's water system
was out of commission and there was
no water in the standpipe, 20 the
firemen could do nothing but let
the plant burn and devoteJl their
energies ito protect adjoining prop
erty. The plant at Mt. Ayr was
used as an emergency plant for the
west end of the system when there
was break in the line which runs
from Centerville. Mt. Ayr was with
out light or power all day Thursday,
but by Friday, connections had been
made with the substation, so that
current could be received from
the transmission line.

For many days and nights the girl
lay as if dead and was constantly
attended by doctors, nurses and her
parents. Only her breathing gave
evidence that she still lived. The
crisis approached and every effort
was bended to insure her survival.
Food was given her in liquid form
through glass tube. Today the
young lady is able to move about in
bed, can converse slightly but is in
constant pain. Her entire body is
cramped and numb. The many
friends of the young lady and of the
