To theGazette.
have waited long and PATIENTS to
see If the offZrepeated demands of THE
GAZETTE for organization would not
ise up some one who@c0uld arrange
our energetic, active, progressive and
liberal people into an aggressive army ;,
one that will take hold and push:the
fortunes of Fort Worth into every land
and make Der the glory aud pride of
all Texas. In union and organization
here is life and strength; in
!disunion and disorganization there
Is death. It remains for our
people to choose between the two, for
just as certain as we fail to organize Just
so certain will we be outdone in the
struggle for supremacy among the cities
of Texas. An army of brave men with
1out organization will be routed by dis
ciplined army of towards. Individual
energy and pTuck are great things, but it
takes organiZed energy and pluck to
build railroads, factories and cities. We
live in the midst of an age of organiza-
ton, and~we, ourselves, must organize
or be trampIed: under the feetSG the
multitude. ',..yTA -. 80
> In order to effect organization we.'
must reach TIE people, for. no other
kind of organization Will ber effective
and enduring. I suggest a plan, that
each alderman cali sfhe people of has
ward together at an early day and have
them elect ten Delegates, representa-
tive men, to meet with the delegates of
the other wards, in a central convention
at some day to he named by THE GA1
zETTE; that part of the town south
and southeast of the corporation line
to also select ten delegates at
meeting to be called for b" that
purpose by THE GAZETTE at some
point in said Territory. If THE GAZETTE
will urge this or so1nesimllar plan it will
put the ball in motion and result in a
complete and effective organization of all
our people. At the meeting of fke cen
trail convention of delegates they can
adopt such plan as will best accomplish
the object in view. / think that it would
be a good plan for this convention to
select an executive committee composed
of one. or two persons from
each ward that shall be |
kept as permanent committee
for the general good Of the scity. This |
executive committee sheQ1d, in turn or |
RaAlZe UH the elecIlOn OF. 0Enc6rS, the aD- |
portionment of the work andt eheladjust-
ment of a financial basis, so as tbI9nake |
the expense fall alike on all of the peo- |
pie, as far as possible, by some sort of |
assessment on property values few |
men should not have to bear all the ex- |
pense, as is invariably the case where |
you attempt to work without discipline,
but it should be borne by each according |
to real estate values. have j
seen this plani work successfully |
elsewhere, and H. know that it scan
be made a success here j The executive
should also appoint a general |
manager, who should be the,sYsry, best
man that can be obtained, and he should
be paid salary that Will Justify HIM IN
giving all OF his time to working for Fort
Worth and her interests. He should be
to do the work under the advice
and direction of the executive committee.
If this plan should be adopted and good
men selected to fill the places, there is
no foretelling the good that can be. ac-
1t means united, organ.

Of an army. to battle with shoulders
touching and shields locked, before
whom Will flee the gorgons that guard
the doors to the temples of progress,
leaving them forever ajaF to Fort Worth
and her people. PUBLICUs.
