To Make the Town Grow
Mr. 8. A. Fish bum, secretary
of the Commercial Club of Dallas,
Texas, has prepared a set of rules
for making a town grow. Ho
guarantees their efficacy. Here
they are:
1. Join no organizations looking
to the upbuilding of your town.
This will prove an encouragement
to those who give their time and
money to sustain such orgtiniza*
t ions.
2. Impugn tin; motives of those
who join and charge them with :g
desire to advertise themselves.
This inspires patriotic men to
work all the harder for the public:
good.
Why?
Many people are asking why.
The question has troubled you not
a little,
Why is t.hu saloon so strongly
out reached?
Why are so many people in every
community indifferent to its rav
ages^
Whv do they not arise in right
eous indigation and stamp it out?
it is not because the ravages of
drink arc unknown.
It is not because tin* advantages
of sobriety are unfamiliar.
It is not because the saloon pro
tends to !>e anything but a lawless j
abomination.
it is not because most persons in 1
every community would not glad- j

6. “Cuss out” your public of

This will*prove a keen incentive to
the complete fulfillment of their
official obligations.
7. Whenever your town papers
fail to make war on the saloon be
cause they know that such a war
would alienate the brewer and the
saloonist, and thus contract the
volume ot profitable trade.

element and you rob it of its chief
power.

The recent remarks of .Judge
Coxe, of the United States Court,
before the graduating class of the
Law Department of the Univer
sity of Chicago, have attracted
wide attention. Among other
things be said: “Wo are suffer*
ing in this country from an over
production of law; there are 1-1,000
statutes made annually in the
United States. We legislate to
cure all evils, to remedy past ones, 1
to stop immorality, and yet every
day we see crime go unpunished
and murderers go free. The mob
tired of 1 ho law's delay, drags out
its victims to death in light of
flaming jails and court houses.”

agriculture was as popular as it is
now. The possibilities of the in

are beginning to see the future has
in store for the agriculturist. If
you have not a farm get one as

may meet you as a stranger, yet

and defraud you, but the homo
paper never forgets you. Pos
