SHOP OF QUALITY uoiivuncc WW A town Is very much like an indi vidual. To be flourishing, it must have energy and enterprise. The people in a town should remember that the individual prosperity depends to a large extent upon the charac ter of the place in which their busniess is located. Every public measure should be liberally support ed by all especially the business men At the present day there is as much competition between towns as there is among persons and business en terprises. A man seeking a location will invariably select a town that is up to the times, and is eagerly in favor of every modern improvement. To make a flourishing town you must believe in its future and work for it, encouraging every improvement. Make a special effort to exhibit some evidence of improvement in your own work and character. Help every worthy man, help every enterprise, and encourage every good man to locate in your town. The new registration law goes In to effect for the next state election and In order to be eligible every taxpayer who is entitled to vote un der the state constitution should put his name on the registration list. In the case where a young man attains, bls majority, becomes 21 years of age before the next general election, that Is before next Oct., he can register now and be qualified to vote in the next primary as well as in the elec tion. Reports are frequent of wireless telegraphic communication over an enormous range. Recently the United States army transport Bufford, while near Honolulu, succeeded in exchang ing messages with the California coast. The distance covered was 3,500 miles. This does not mean that there has been a wonderful advance in wireless telegraphy, but merely that atmospheric conditions were un usually fovorable.

Every town has its advantages and should make the most of them. Eves town is fitted for some one enterprise more than another, and as soon as it is ascertained what would be most conductive to the growth and prosper ity of a place the citizens should taki hold of the matter and push it for all its is worth. Every man who sue ceeds in a town is a help to it. The more money he makes if he spends it the better for the community. The larger business he builds up, the more he advertises, the more atten tion is called to the town. A man cannot build up an honorable bus iness in a town without helping it. A town cannot build up without help ing the country. The interest of one is the interest of fall. THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1909- A Few Words About Gordon Lee. While Hon. Gordon Lee has made no formal announcement of his can didacy for re-election as representa tive from the Seventh district it is known that he is being urged by his friends all over the district to make the race, and it is believed that something definite will be heard from him in a short time. Mr. Lee has made a splenddi re cord. He has accomplished more in the way of public buildings, se curing payment of war claims, and matters of that kind, than any other representative the Seventh has ever had. H e has fairly earned his ti tle of “the working congressman,’’ foi he is said to be about the busiest man in Washington when congress is in session, always at his post in the House during the session and in addition, looking after a thousand other matters for his constiuents— matters that are outside of his reg ular duties, and which most congress men would consider that they would have no time to look after. I The same qualifications that have ' made Mr. Lee a successful business , man have made him a successful I congressman, for, after all, modern 1 statesmanshlpp is largely a matter of business, and only the trained mind ■ of the business man can handle most of the questions that come before our national assembly today. The day of the spread-eagle ora tor has passed, and the man who gets results in Washington now is ths man who can go into the com mittee-room and state briefly and convincingly what he xwants and why he wants it. Should Mr. Lee decide to enter the race it is safe to assume that it will not be because of the honor or the salary attached to the office, but because he desires to complete the work he has begun—to secure the necessary appropriations for the public buildings which have already i been authorized by congress in this district, and push through the various measures in which he is interested. Mr. Lee’s record entitles him to another term if he wants it, not withstanding .the fact that he an nounced sometime ago that he would not run. Mr. Lee's friends believe that he made that announce ment in good faith, but that later developments havd shown that he could not complete the work he hoped to do for his constituents in the time allowed him. If Mr. Lee makes the race this time he will have the support of many voters who have heretofore been opposed to him, in addition to most of those who have supported him in the past, and he will be an extremely hard man to defeat. —PAUL F.
