Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 November 1901 — Young Men Should Not Shun Politics. [ARTICLE]

Young Men Should Not Shun Politics.

We shall have reason to ball it as a wholesome sign of the times when American youth cease to be indifferent to politics. A country In which any man, however obscure his origin, may, through determination to overcome obstacles, and fine strength of character, arrive at the highest distinctions in the gift of the republic, ought to stimulate young men to splendid endeavor and rich achievement. One regrets to observe an aversion on the part of many men to study political economy, and a singular lack of responsibility in wielding that power of the unit, which Is so tremendous a force in our national life. —Ladies’ Home Journal.
