THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LUS1NKSS ASSOCIATIONS. Hiisiiipss men's associations of the chamber of commerce type have had the strong and the weak points of the commercial community. Business men are eiipat'ed in the competitive man iigemcnt of industry, with personal reward as the motive. When they unite for advancement of the business of a city, they show much the same characteristics that they do in their own daily labor. They have the initiative and drive that goes with an indi vidually owned enterprise. The cometitive struggle develops the qualities of self help and impatience with delays, and the tendency to measure the success of the effort in tonus of money gain or loss Hiese qualities will appear in a well managed business man s or ganization, and they give it the Kwer that accomplishes large re sults. A good community organization, however, demands some thing more. It must manifest the spirit of co-operation and get ting together, or harmony between business rivals, of tolerance of conflicting views. The organization must not expect that its re sults can be whollv measured ii. terms of dollars and cents. I must work for social happiness and welfare of the people and for service to all interests in the community. A irood manv business men's organizations have failed to ac complish much because they looked to commercial profit alone. It their money making enterprises happened to fall down, they had accomplished nothing for civic advance, and the people would led that their efforts had been fruitless. A Lroad and modern business man's movement will make civic advance and human welfare its first objective. When it at tains that, business gains will follow as a necessary incident. Tha'. is the kind of idea which the men of this city hold in view in such an organization as the chamber of commerce. o It is one of the calamities of war that the troubles that de velop in its wake often prove worse than those caused by lighting. The reconstruction period following the civil war produced evil: far greater than those that flowed from the original conllict. Wai sets loose violent passions, and these are not quelled when peace is signed. The worst aftermath of war is hatred. Lut a certaii amount of it can be avoided. The convicted offender usually hater the court and the community that makes him pay the penalty ol his misdecd3. So Germany may hate the nations that compel hei to pay damages for her malicious destruction. If so, it can't b helped. Another aftermath of war is the spirit of force and vio lence. The strikers who try to get their way by holding up thi business of the community, or the capitalists who seek to obtaii unjust terms by starving out their workers, show the war spirit When men learn that reason and fair debate win more than clas: conflict, then the aftermath of war will have proved only a pass ' ing phrase. o In England, long before women had the suirrage, they figurec in politics. They pulled wires of personal and social influence t( get political results. In this country women have rarely sough' this power. Cut now that they have the ballot, some of them mnj r.eek the advancement of themselves and their friends through tin social game and feminine charm. Hut the men who regard tin: as an excursion outside of woman's sphere, should be remindec that men have always been playing the same game. The fellow who gets elected because of his enthusiastic hand shaking, is a: much of a cril as the pretty woman who gets her friends ad vanced by her coquettish ways. o The reason a rich man is never satisfied wifh the size of hit fortune is not necessarily because he has acquired a kind of hoy instinct, but rather because his knowledge of affairs and hi breadth of vision have grown until ho sees bigger and bigger things that he wishes to do; and his ambition to accomplish is al ways a few leaps ahead of his capital, says Fred Kelly in the Na tion's Business. The richest men in the world are usually the heaviest borrowers, because they are in a position to see the most to be done. Hence any man setting out to ge't rich might as well recognize at the beginning, that from the very nature of things, he can never hope to f eel that he has enough.

After interview ing a number of buslnesa men, tbey came to the conclusion that It would be better If they could organize local company and buy the Tidings instead of starting another paper. We made them a prlco on the Till ings that would guarantee good re turns to the Investors. liy forming a local cororation and purchasing this paper at the price offered the stock would pay a 20 per ent annual dividend. We guaranteed them, under as good management as had been exercised by the present owners, the Tidings would do that, and it will. That fact may prove misleading to some who are anxious to see an other paper In the field. Some, not experienced in the newspaper game may figure that If one paper can be made to pay 20 per cent on the In vestment, two papers could be made to pay ten per cent on the Invest ment, which would be a good annual lividend return. Very good If true. Ijut'such estimate Is ridiculous. "The Ashland field produces a cer alu newspaper revenue, one sulil lenl, indeed to pa) good dividends on one newspaper, but yet not enough when divided, to pay the mre expenses of production lor two newspaper. It costs $75. U0 per day to produce the Daily Tidings. To produce two such papers will cosi Jl.'iU.tlO per day. W hether there are one newspaper, or whether there are wo, the total expense of production must be paid by the same patrons ixsmand suDscribcrs and advertisers or stand as a loss to the stock holders. In the in st instance (wo newspapers would be a distinct- bur- leu to the advertisers.

Therefore. economically, as a community enter prise to establish another newspa per here would be bad business. Cer- alnly It would result in lots to the hareholders in both papers.

Senator McN'ary has changed bis resolution for the protection of salmon and other edible fish. He made It a sen ate resolution rather than a Joint resolution and as it stands now re- quests by the president to negotiate a treaty by which the Canadian and Amqrlijan govrnmenls can devise protection for salmon and other food fish beyond the three-mile limit. When first read the resolution called for plans for protecting thes-j ttsn within and without the territor ial waters, but on objection of Sena tor Jones of Washington the word "within" was stricken out. In this form the resolution was passed and will go now to the president. o Apple Thinning to Be Demonstrated run Professor Clayton L.
