For Y oung Men
In Public Life lit. A

By S. M. BECKER, the "Boy Mayor” of Milwaukee
©
HERE" are great opportunities in the world for the young
man in all the walks of life, hut I believe that none offers a
>rreater inducement than that which I have chosen and
which, I am happy to say, has been chosen by many thou
sands of other young men.
To be in public life as an official necessitates the STUDY OF
POLITICS IN ITS MANY PHASES. Also, I believe, a young
man who adopts a political career should have some natural qualifica¬
tions. There is plenty of room at the very front of public life for the
young man of capacity. To succeed he must have a code containing
principles, the first of which must be honesty. No young man should
enjer politics FOR WHAT MONEY THERE MAY EE IN IT,
for if he does he certainly will meet with disappointment.
•t V. *t
The young man who enters politics should do so from a sense of
duty to his country with a willingness to be misunderstood and misrep¬
resented. If he does not do this he will not succeed.
HE. MUST SUBMIT TO GREAT INJUSTICE WHEN HE 13 HEW¬
ING TO THE LINE.
In the city of Milwaukee, where I have the honor to hold the
highest office within the gift of the people, we have a number of
young men in positions of public trust, and my observation has been
that EVERY ONE OE THEM, no matter to what political party
he mav belong, has rendered creditable service to his constituents.
Our people previously placed a little too much confidence in the
ago of a candidate in selecting most of their officials, but I believe they
now realize th.it, it is necessary to employ young blood.' Old men have
Less to look forward to and CANNOT have the ambition of youth.
Yet I do not wish to be understood as saying that ago does not have
its value in many ways. Young men for action, for warfare, for actual
work; old men for advice based upon experience.
t> Vt 8 »
The young man of today, I believe, is more in the confidence of
tiic voter than he lias been in the past. However, we have striking
examples in history of exceptionally young' men who have left their
marks upon the books containing the records of the good work done
in the world. I refer to Alexander Hamilton, to the great Pitt of
England, to Napoleon an 1 others, but I do not believe that at any time
in the history cf the world has there been SO MUCH ■ CONFI¬
DENCE in the young man as lups recently been shown by the voter.

safeguard his empire, while it systematically PURSUES PRADE

To aid in the commercial triumph the kaiser’s government s ibsidizea
railways and steamships, promotes exports, fosters trusts and 1: aintains
a tariff like a Chinese wall.
