Mr.. WeiaIe's Address.
Mr. Weigle in opening his address
ed to be called on again to address
a Mankato audience. Mr.. Weiele
smoke rriefiv Of the work of the st.
Porl Association Of Commerce in its
campaign for an increased member
ship, and co-operative work for the
advancement Of the welfare Of the
community. He honed that the peo-
10 Of Mankato rA'uld get back of
every proposition brought UP by the
wankato Civic and Commerce asso-
citation. for by so doing Mankato will
no anah1ed better TO take her place
among the leading cities Of the
state. Cities who are not oreanized
ere never consulted by the Chamber
of Commerce Of the United States.
The great trouble is that people COM
nlain about conditions and do not
shoulder their share Of the burdens
which would rernedv the evils thew
harm about. For instance. as long as
ire church STAYS out of business she
has no kick coming. In order to do
Cts share. the church must get into
the game.
II Is a denlorabIe fact that the
rads and all MANNER Of anarchists
arc we'll organized, while the civiliz-
ing forces are not. The speaker said
that he is LOOKING forward to the dav
when women will become tnstru-
mental IN a clean I'm OF civic and
nol'+ical affaa-rs. for the purrose Of
making communities better places IN
which to live. For that reason the
women should be aided in Droper or
garization. so that the old form NJ
politics ran be done awav with. and
men and women can re elected on
the bac's If their worth and ctVt'tz-
Ino Influences in their resDect'Ve
communities. This is a short life,
and ~ we are - do much good in 1t,
