Excerpt from The Modern and the Municipal Franchise for Women We are accustomed to say, even in regard tofederal affairs, that a sense of national stability is of even more fundamental 1mportance than national defense. We add to that, and this applies to the city government as well, that any thing which. Diminishes the elector's love of country or interest in its preservation is a menace to the nation; and in the past great stress has been laid upon ownership and that sense of responsibility which property entails. But in the modern city the renters outnumber the landlords a thousand fold, and the ownership of the home becomes less frequent as we leave the farm and the village and proceed to the great centers. As the modern city dweller looks about for other forms of investment as a substitute for real estate, so we must appeal to those interests which are more general, more primordial, and much more trustworthy, in our effort to substitute in the modern city the sense of stability for the spirit of defense. If one could connect these'old maternal anxieties, which are really the basis of family and tribal life, with the'candidates who are seeking offices, it would never 'be necessary to scold cit-her men or women for remaining at home on election day.

Excerpt from The Modern City Henry Ward Beecher says, that three great ele ments enter into the career of a great citizen, viz., that which his ancestry gives, that which opportunity gives; and that which his will develops. So, if human character is the camera of human development, then civic virtue. Will be just what the genius and Will of the people develop. The proper solution of the many complex problems of modern city life, is the solution of the greatest questions of the century. They are as many and as varied, as are the vices and virtues of mankind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
