THE PROGRESS OF THE
COUNTRY

| make any cnanSe III Jne pOllIlcdl
administration of the country, peo-
pie should consider not merely the
little flaws and defects that they
find here and there in the opera
lions of the government, but wheth-
err on the whole the country is MAX
ing good progress.
People of a critical disposition
can find plenty of chances for fault
finding with the government at any
time. No kind of government ever
worked perfectly. Democratic gov
eminent always makes plenty of
mistakes. We should not look so
much at these particular things, as
at the general question whether the
people have made progress.
The Republican party has in the
main run this government since the
Civil war. There have been brief
interruptions of Republican rule,
but they did not last long. During
the 16 years when Democratic
presidents were in office, much of
the time Congress was controlled
by the Republicans, suggesting that
the people were not willing to place
their full trust in the opposition
party.
OF course during the World war
period, the Democrats ran the
country. They ran up perfect
mountain of debt, and the country
showed it's opinion of the results
they got, by one enormous MAORI
ties against them given in the cleo
tions of 1920 and 1924.
But in the main the Republicans
have run the country ever since the
Civil war. The progress that has
occurred would have seemed utter
ly incredible and unbelievable if it
had been predicted so or go years !,
ago.
The Republican policy of encour-
aging business and putting efficient
and competent people into positions
of authority, has been one of the
principal reasons for this progress.
1t would seem very poor judgment
to put the country in any different
hands at this time.

THINKING is a human process
that is much neglected. People do
many things in life entirely leaving
out the element of thought.
This world would be a much bet
ter world, a much better place to
live in, if each person would simply
put his thinking cap on and wear it
at the performance of each deed,
or seemingly inconse-
cuential.
In the Office, in the shop, in the
home, in the social arena, in public
places, everywhere, thought would
play well it's part.
The think shop is one of the most
important properties of the. human
