It failed qo mention one class accomplish- ments—what the Chamber of merce has not done. Possibly the Chamber of merce has not given us many things that we need.

They get in the habit, some- times, of taking a hand affairs merely because activities will bring them credit the * eredit, and 8o ah active politician becomes energetic. He forms the habit of looking about him for a chance to do something which will bring popularity to him. Often his interest brings re- sults beneficial to the people. Of course many honest men, so sit- uated that they are able their time to altruistic purposes their aid to good causes with no ul- terior motive. So politicians and men who have no thought sometimes meet on a ground of com- mon interest. But the good side of politics brings out the latent ‘energy in men, They Jearn how to do things, and to do| them. If there is back of this knowl- edge gained, and in addition to the desire tq advance themaselves politi- cally, the hénest desire to accomplish sothething for the good of the. peo- ple, the combination is a strong one.
