The citiâ€" zens of a cod may be intelligent may exercise their right to vote, obey the laws, still the country be a failure. as the whole is no greater than the sum, of its parts The first duty of a citizen of a democracy is to exercise his right to vote. By so doing he a share in governning the nation. By failâ€" ing to do so he strikes at the véery foundation of our aylfim of govâ€" ernment. Not only must be vote, but he must vote intelligently; othâ€" erwise he has contribu nothing and may even coun the votes of those better info . This inâ€" volves many things: He must be well informedâ€"as to the ability and character of the candidate, he must be familiar with the substance and purpose of the platform; but he must â€" also discrimin’te between campaign propaganda and truth. Once the individual has a factual knowledge of the candidates and their party <platforms, must not feel that his duty ends with himâ€" self, for then his intplligent vote would probably be‘ repdered ineffecâ€" ‘tive by the divergent ges of his misinformed or the indifferent. He must exercise leadership and < coâ€" operation.. The corrups political machines are highly| specialized. They know, that. digorganization ‘ breeds failure. Against them the| single vote of the sincere citizen is as nothing. Such citizens must help. to organize the votes of the peopleI by education and goâ€"operation.

To fight for one‘s country in time of is often of more decisive im ce than to fight for one‘s country in time It has become more and more apâ€" parent in the last five years that the high tide of industrial activity and development upon which we rose to abnormal heights of success and wealth has been ing with paralyzing | rapidity. it taking with it our established form of govâ€" ernment? Or, of still \ greater im~ portance, is it carr away our national characteristic |of, selfâ€"reliâ€" ance and individual initiative? Beâ€" cause of national econpmic trouble and indecision grave fHloubts hsvel arisen in the minds of\ many as to the capability of the ple to govâ€" ern themselves. An inc ing numâ€" ber of individuals are |proposing a communistic, socialistic, or fascist form of government. *When the founders of these Unitâ€" ed States struggled to create an ideal government in a new and comâ€" paratively unknown land they reâ€" lied upon an unbounded faith in the ultimate worth of hymanity, and courageously carried Qut their exâ€" periment in spite of fatural obstaâ€" cles and the skepticism of establishâ€" ed nations After due time and hardship a nation of strength and everâ€"growing â€" prospetity â€" evolved from ‘the nuclei of those men‘s dream‘s â€" a stupendous achieveâ€" ment! But those efarly pioneers and statesmen were usting to posâ€" terity to develop and sustain the govâ€" ernments and institu ons they had originated. They . foresaw times when their precio democracy would find itself precatiously underâ€" mined by the strong counter forces that at some time or other assail every government and every instiâ€" tution. It was with this vision in mind that George Washington once fervently expressed the hope that "United States would rnot follow the usual course of nationg" which rose and fell as the tide. / PAGE TEN by Jeannette Canright mspuesnes uid Mr. Moon was ;'very enhzrgcftie. ambitious man in his day, he thorâ€" oughly cnjoye}dAtq !qu.‘n the year 1892 he came to Chicago, where he gained employment, helping to conâ€" struct the bu{ll:im of the World‘s Fair.
