wider circulation, in the hope that the
proper authorities will Immediately take the

people SO long suffering as ours have be-

were admirably set forth by Major Doole.
in his speech on that occasion, the gist o
which reasons was that the enterprisinl
municipal governments of other cities ant
the public spirit of their citizens made
them attractive TO our capital, while tn,
management of our city was not only no
calculated to draw outside capital, but wa'
too poor to hold even our own.
Major lVoley's position that 10 keep oul
home capital here and induce other capita
20 flow in this direction, we must create
attractions for the investor, is impregnable
Sentiment is Of no avail with the capitalist
lie must have solid attractions aud must bC
shown certain profits. But neither Major
Dooley nor the other speakers hit on the
radical cure for the trouble. Their claims
that the people OF this city should make the
City Council spend more money on streets
that the City Council should be made tC
Keep our street car service up to proper
standard; that our people must have faitl
in our city and advertise its advantages
that we should force the railroad compan-
les 10 give us better connections are, as We
have stated elsewhere, all in the right d.
rcction, and correctly PROFOUND the duty OF
no nf Rtehmnn1 ha
been trying more or less diligently for years
to perform these duties, and they have only
succeeded TO limited extent, and will
never succeed to their satisfaction. Some
more active measures must be taken by
them. They must attract industrial enter
prises to their city, They must have shoe
factories, tin box factories and every other
kind Of factory where men can find work.
To do this our business men in the Cham
Der OF Commerce must do as is done in other
cities, that Is, secure from the city or from
private owners gifts Of land. water-pOwer
and other necessaries, or dispensation from
saves for a few years, and then employ reg
ular agents anu "a. ,houa TO go e. tho oori-
talists OF the country and of our own city,
and lay before them plan in which they
can see safe investment for their money.
The owner OF the land upon which the
Minnesota Car Works, Of which Mr.. j. +. +.
Anderson is president, gave, as we under
stand, TO that company, twenty acres of
land as q consideration for locating their
plant on his property, and he made thou
sands Of dollars by the operation.
A citizen Of our own town decided without
consideration land for the Lee monument,
and has found that the stepwas paying
one. There 10 no trouble in securing the at
fractions for industrial enterprises If only
some one will take hold Of the matter. The
Business Meu's Association, or the Chamber
OF Commerce, or some association OF the
same character must put their shoulders to
the wheel, and when they have secured the
attractions, have them properly put before
capitalist.
