The Whig started some- Hl | thing, and it is bringing forth fruit, |for already a number of very inter- | | esting interviews have been given on ll | the subject. The Whig would like | {to receive a goodly number of inter- il | views, and would only ask that they should not be very lengthy. i A prominent citizen today gave il the Whig the following: | "I was really Interested in the Jj | article In Wednesday's Whig, "If 1 Owned Kingston," and it seems to i| me that whilst the suggestions -con- tained are worthy of consideration, | no real step can be taken towards Increasing the prosperity of the city | | until the stipend given the chief magistrate is one which will pay him to give up his business or professon {and devote his whole energies to lj serving the city. "Therefore, if I owned Kingston, iT would first gather my prominent } citizens together and we would search carefully for a man aggres- sive, determined, a good speaker, {/and a man who had achieved a re- putation of getting what he went af- liter; a young man with plenty of || energy and who had yet to carve his | SMITH BROS. | supcess in life, yet, withal a man who had a decent position and would have to give up opportunities In leaving it. "On locating my man, I would say | to him:--"Look here, young man!

My com- mittee will put you in power for one year, and during that year you have got to make good or be fired. You must give your entire time to the city and must bring business here. We do not care what steps you take so long as you get results. You must be a 'Go Getter." You must go into the highways and byways and com- pel the manufacturers and contrac- tors to deal with us. You must get tourists (by force if necessary) tn stay in Kingston, and see what our factories can do. You are Kingston's travelling salesman. You must speak to Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs in neighboring cities and boost King- ston. You must be Kingston's 'Tom- my' Church, ou must be our may- or, industrial commissioner, public- ity man and general manager, and we want twenty-four hours of your time every day. Yet, you must be courteous to all avold dogmatism, and by your very personality, bring Kingston its porsperity. If you don't make good you will be fired. Will you take a chance?" The man the city needs would answer 'Go to it,' and my campaign would then be launched for his election as mayor. No enterprising city of the present day can afford to have a part-time mayor, just as no well run business could afford :o have a part-time general manager. In a sentence, I would run Kingston as I would a business. Any other way must logically spell disaster, {ROTARY CAN BE POWER FOR GOOD IN CONNUATY DR. H. C.

The president Leman A. GuiM, presided, and there was a good attendance of members. Rev. Mr. La Flair, referred to the emblem of the club--the Rotary wheel and by way of illustrating his point, the speaker placed the mem- bers of the club at the centre of the wheel, with their service for the home, social educational and industs rial life, and for all the things that touch one in the life of the com- munity, The speaker felt that the church, being the exponent of relig- ion, should find its place around the 'wheel to cement the spokes to the hub. What was the origin of the things necessary {au Rotary? -And bute to'Rotary and the good work new 20th century idea?! We had been taught service by Jesus Christ, the first leader of men, who went about doing good, and who taught men not only to give to other peo- ple, but to give self, even unto death. This was the beginning of what had been so beautifully ex- pressed in Rotary. The speaker went on to explain how the Rotary wheel had the power for motion, and this was used by the club as a power for good in the com- religion came in and Rotary would not bea unless it had the power of religion, "I congratulate you on the things speaker," and the things you have been accomplishing in the commun- Able Address by Rev.
