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.

That fact may prove misleading

may figure that If one paper can be
made to pay 20 per cent on the In

Protection Fish
Passed by Senate
.Veuo-lteview Washington ltureuu
WASHINGTON, June 7. 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.

people think they 'know better how

not only as to what he shall print,
but what he shall charge for and

editor it is a continual wonder why
there arc not more newspapers with
so many persons In every community

and would prove moTe successful
newspaper men than the particular
