| | | | UNITED STATES NEEDS SWISS PLAN (Continued from Page 2.) ‘We need, indeed, the Swiss system to strengthen and preserve the spirit of democracy in the United States. No thoughtful mind can escape the reflection that we are drifting here to cliques—that, survey the national field as we may, we find no broad ground of common interest and con- tact where the country’s youth may touch elbows and absorb all their points of view. Cohesive Influence Necessary. To bring directly home this thought and fact, consider the widely scat- tered interests of the young men of Spokane. One group, for instance, is represented in the university. club. Young men assemble there who have had a college course. Their thoughts, their associations, their view of life are tinctured by the college influ- ence. The interests and activities of an- other group center around the ath- letic club. Of yet another group around the Y. M. C. A. building. Yet another, though smaller group, find interest and activity in the national guard. This scattering of interests is not to de recried, but it needs to be held in bounds. A cohesive influence is needed to bind them all in one broad, enlightening, popularizing force. Search as we may and strive as we might, we shall not find that bond unless we decree by law that for a given period each year, in a given period of years, every able-bodied young American around the age of 20 must turn his thoughts and ac- tion to patriotic duty and prepara- tion for potential defense. Dividing interests, the growth of cliques, the slow widening of the‘ rifts between these cliques—these ! are, the influences that undermine demomracy and endanger republics.

J. Pilk ington, editor of the Merchants Trade Journal and ‘“father” of the national the Business World.” Mr. Pilking- ton in a lengthy but interesting ad- dress described the “Science of Mer- chandizing.” He urged community building methods and declared that the merchant’s biggest asset was him- self. In his introduction he stated that although he had spoken in many states, he had never heard a woman get up and address a meeting of mer- chants as did Mrs. Netzer. He con- gratulated her and advised more meetings at which women are in- vited to participate. Women in Public. “It is time that you men find out that women can say things in pub- lic as well as at home,” said Mr. Pilkington. He stated that in the past people have always been looking to the na- tion, but that the time was rapidly approaching when they would look toward their individual community building. “It is in your own community where it is necessary to work out your salvation,” he said. “When you send your money away from your city, when you send your business away from the city, your young men and women when they finish their education and are grown up will look toward the city where you have sent your business and will go there to look for jobs. They will take with them others. I advise you to keep your money, to keep your the mills can make, and you have a choice of several excellent brands at this store.
