Many Business Men Go to One Ex treme or the Other In Regard to Politics. Some absolulely refuse to have any thing to do with politics and will not even perform one of the most important duties of citizen shipthat of voting. Others become thoroughly im mersed in polities, often to the neglect of their business and with the result of making many foolish enmities. The wise business man avoid extremes in politics, jusl as in everything else. When the heat of political warfare becomes such that half of the population ap pears to have lost its sanity, then should the business men remain cool and calm. It is the duly of all citizens but particularly of the business man, since he has more at slake than the average man to study political platforms dispassionate ly and carefully consider the can didates. ' After the business man has determined upon a course of political action he should exert his influence for Hie success of those principles and candidates which have appealed to him an being right. Hut this inlluenco should be exerted quietly and ef fectively. Hrass band and torch light parade tactics are not good for the business man. His ell'orts will count for much more when put, forth in the form of quiet maiulo-nian talks with his patrons and friends. The wise business man will not make his place of business a public foruni for the discussion of political questions. Indications are that parly lines will be badly broken in the pres ent campaign. The great mass of voters apparently cannot be held in line by a mere party name. Un der such conditions, business men have an unusual opportunity to make their iiilhience felt. They can largely shape the course of political evenls if Dial influence is exerted tactfully in the right quarters. This is particularly true in reference lo the legislative and congressional elect iyns, tho outcome of which is of such im portance to business men gen erally. Omaha Trade Exhibit.
