The Republican party is frankly
the friend Of business enterprise,
not because it holds a brief for the
rich, as it's foes allege, but because
it believes that all elements in our
citizenship have something at stake
in the maintenance of general pros
perity. This does not mean that it is
ready to put the seal of approval
upon the excesses practiced by
greedy, speculative elements which
are the parasites of productive in
dustry. This is evidenced by the fact
that practically every effective ma
tional statute for the regulation and
control of business abuses has been
the fruit Of Republican statesman
ship.
There are bright days ahead for
American business if the opportuni-
ties opened up by the peoples recent
verdict in favor of constructive gov
ernmental policies are used rather
than abused. The sky-rocketing of
speculative stocks and the advances
in prices of commodities are not in
themselves healthful symptoms. This
country does not need or want a
"boom." 1t needs and wants sane,
steady, constructive business devel-
opment along safe lines, keeping in
mind not merely today's opportuni-
ties for profit taking, but the long
future. Another orgy of speculation
and profiteering such as went on in
this country during the World War
would swing the pendulum Of public
opinion to the radical extreme in the
near future.
The duties of citizenship are per-
formed not merely on election day,
but every day in the year. The real
patriot, and, above all, the thought
full man of business, will take ac-
count of the social and political ef- !
feet Of his conduct in his commercial
transactions. Such conscitiOus and |
patriotic conduct on the part of bus |
mess men who want to keep this |
country safe for legitimate produc- |
tive enterprises, constitutes the best |
guarntee Of future political and eco
nomic safety. The citizen should |
keep in mind at all times the ideal of |
justice and the square deal for his
as well as himself, and
realize that abuse Of the opportuni-
ties which lie before intelligence,
thrift, industry and enterprise in
this country can only be safeguard
ed by a sense Of social duty on the
part Of all who profit by them.
Elections in this country are de-
termined not by the extremes Of rich
and poor, but by the great middle
element which is most affected by
general industrial conditions, econ
omic opportunities and the practice
Of social Justice. Those who offend

Yet he doesn't like it-dern It'll

Though he doesn't care to bear tt
'Tis no pose!-
And dislikes a deal to wear tt

Still he got that title fairly
For he did his duty squarely,
Played his part well, played It rare

For he's built upon the true-blue

But he's Just so democratic,

That he's sometimes quite en-

He's a MAN!
