permissible for us to look back a few year into our ale sleaty py past and seek out 0 t soma some of the reasons for our long tardiness in introducing ourselves t tha the outside world and to e cich etch other and making a bid for the heritage which by right is ours that this thing of selfishness is at tho the basis of tie thinkers of the v world orld have long declared it may way not be a vary pleasant commentary on cur our characters and dispositions but the fact is there we are selfish first last and all the time the ego in man is his first consideration and as eminent a thinker as benjamin disraeli lord B once defied the tho world to point out a single voluntary human act which he would not prove tu to have been a selfish act all who ho attempted to meet his chal lenge mot met with defeat for it was easy to show that man as a free a gant to do or not jo a particular thing could not but choose the course that suited him bett erand that in so pleasing himself he h e committed aba a J floh act the simple proposition stirred the literary and thinking f world for a time and the pro and con discussion of ft it is sad to have severed many friendships Mend ships of longstanding however it is today regarded as settled that disraeli was right that no matter how flow much we may resent the idea however disagreeable the admission may be every voluntary human act is 13 a selfish act not that all selfishness is to be condemned far from it you may feed the hungry clothe the naked comfort the distressed but in do doing i 1 ng so you take your choice between the doing of it and the not do doing ing of it thus pleasing yourself and in so doing commit a selfish act environment culture association and habit have much if all to do with the extent to which men raen apply to their affairs this controlling characteristic of their natures in some communities politeness courtesy cour teay and tho the humanizing effects of a high order of civilization have all but burlea from sight the uglier coarser and more brutal outward semblances of enman selfishness in other corners of the world it is rampant as the gluttony that rules the pig pig pen men hate each other for no other reason than that they the are competitors in business that they hold to different religious iou s views that they are of opposite political faiths Such an exhibition exhibit Fon of this brand of human selfishness is of course altogether bestial and the atmosphere bred by it can be nothing but a clog in the wheels cfall progress have we hero here in price been so blinded to our own interests and to the interests of the community in which we have lived as to cherish and express the cheap petty and und piggish eunity toward legitimate competitors for the sake of a few dimes when dollars would have flowed into all our fur coffers if we had only been big and broad enough to have joined hands with them for the good of all have we called a man a chicken thief simply because he attracted to himself business which we would have enjoyed if he had stayed oit ait of town have we roared our heads off and denounced men of opposite politics because they help us or our friends at the polls in the name of the holy hide of the sacred bull what can we expect from the opposition BUT opposition if men and brethren we have done these these things we need go no further for the reason why this town and this thi s section of the state have waited so long for the prosperity they should have been enjoying years ago if the section has survived at all it has done so not by reason of our efforts but in spite of them but now that we have thoroughly learned the lesson of the manner tn in which other and older communities have attracted population ula tion developed their resources and won success in all the lines of human endeavor we have thank god laid aside the methods of the mossback moss back and adopted the methods of tho the modern man every mans hand is out to his brother brather in
