whv Not sour" Government

Walter w. Head, President of the
American Bankers Association, in
an address before Chicago and Cook
County Bankers Association said:
We speak reverentially of "0ur
Country" What do we mean?
Are we thinking of the service which
we bear for it, or are we thinking
only of the protection which our
country can afford US, only of the
benefit which we may derive from
it? Are we thinking of what we
may do for our country, or of what
our country may do for us?
Much as we find reason to deplore
high taxes, to lament the interfer-
ence of government in business, to
condemn radicalism, our duty to
ourselves and our country requires
positive as well as negative action,
dynamic direction rather than static
obstruction. We must be construc-
tive.
AS business men we go before
Congress-with justification-op-
posing this bill or favoring that; as
business men, we decry the acts of
politicians" who are elected to
office or who procure the election of
others to office. Yet, as citizens of
our country do we fulfill the obliga-
tions incumbent upon US? Do we
exercise our right to vote-and
when we do, do we always place in
telligence, efficiency and patriotism
in government ahead of every other
consideration.
We cannot delegate our re-
sponsibility in government to some
one else. The handspring of a
watch operates through a series of
wheels and cogs to move the hands
on the dial. City councils, legisla-
lures, congress, executive officials
carry on the government-bu the
handspring of government is the
individual citizen. The handspring
may transmit its impulse through
elected or appointed officials, but
the mechanism will not operate if
the handspring is removed. There is
nc substitute for individual interest
in government and individual re-
sponsibility for government.-The
Manufacturer.

Elected in England, because, in the
last century, the relations between
the royal family and the active
heads of the Government have been
closer.
"The fact that the prince wished
to see more Of the serious side OF
America is what caused him to post.
pone until next Sunday his trip to
Canada. Study OF this kind he
undertakes because he realizes that
