THE CITY OF SEDALIA.

No Sedslian should De ashamed OF
Sedalia. On the contrary, it should
be matter of pride that within the
confines of one of the grandesi states
in the sisterhood-in the bright galaxy
Of enterprising cities - none claims
pre-eminence to the Queen City. just
reflect for a moment and analyze those
influences that 90 to build up great
cities and peaceable communities.
Anywhere within our broad domain is
there a more hospitable people, more
enterprisipg or more loyal to
home interests? Is not the
location and other natural advantages
of q superior order? Have not our
citizens, time and again, exhibited an
enterprise that has called forth the
commentator of even rival towns
Is not crime always at the very lowest
ebb, and don't We live 40 neighbors
should dwell, in peace and harmony ?
All this is true, and much more. In
time Of general depression, and a
compared with other cities, the growth
of Sedalia has been wonderful.
The building has been Ihe'
nomenal. The peace Of the
city has been extraordinarily good
Her reputation abroad is stainless.
Convention after convention comes
and goes, and deep in the hearts Of
the participants are pleasant memories
of the Queen City.
For almost quarter of a century
the BAzoo has labored in the interests
of the city. 1t has fought a thousand
battles in that cause and never yet
struck q blow against her interests.
The BAzoo has an abiding faith in the
future greatness Of the city. and joins
heartily in any enterprise that tends
to its upbuilding. 1t has much to
say for Sedalia not a word against it.

That there is original sin in human
ity is doubtless recognized by all, but
that it should in Christianized and
fraternal mmunities take the form
it does is somewhat of q mystery, even
to the psychologist. Take for in
stance, the class Of people who are
prone to add to the misery which by
q misfortune good people are some
times made to suffer, instead Of sym.
pathizing with them and encouraging
them. In most instances, perhaps, il
is not real malice which prompts this
class. but a certain mate something
which partakes of desire for sensa.
tionalism and which thoughtlessly
does harm for the sake Of keeping up
a stir. There is real wrong in this
mode of procedure and it should be
remembered that no matter what the
first instinct may be, it is only those
who ere depraved at heart who will
persist in a course which defies con-
vincing arguments and which would
rather foster wrong than uphold a
right.

The truth is the press of the stale
is practically unanimous against re-
moval. Outside the localities "bid'
ding for the university there are moi
dozen influential papers in the state
that favor removal. Columbia Her
aid.
The Herald errs in stating the
above. A great many of the leading
newspapers in the state are in favor OF
the removal of the university, and
while notably the S.. Louis papers
have not been in favor of it, the press
of Kansas City, St. Joseph, Sedalia
and other large towns have favored
the measure on the very sensible
ground that the state cannot afford to
give the money which Columbia de-
mands for the rebuilding. and as it is
the peoples money, not Boone coun-
TVS money, the people have right to
be heard in the matter.

! While it is true that the great ma
jority of men in Sedalia are publ
spirited and enterprising, yet ther'
are still few barnacles clinging t,
her advancement who ought to turf
over a new leaf. 1t is a noticeable We
lamentable fact that upon an occasion
which promises rich results for Soda
liza, or In fact upon any occasion
which brings out her enterprising citi
zen., the few referred to are invari-
ably absent-absent for the very
apparent reason that there
may be a demand for them,
to open their pocket books. Now
it is not because these men are not
possessed of simple means; it is not
because they do not expect to derive
any benefit from that which their
neighbors are giving time and money
to achieve; it is not because they do
not hope that Sedalia's advancement
may be given boost, but it is because
they are lacking in that spirit which
any man, who has Sedalia's interest at
heart, is possessed Of. This is all
wrong, and the BAzoo trusts that the
gentlemen referred to may see the
error of their way and come forward
not only with the encouragement of
Voice, but the encouragement of money,
which is still better. The selfishness
which causes them to keep aloaf while
those who have no better right than
they, bear the vextation and burthen
Of carrying on and pushing Sedalia's
enterprises is shame to their citizen
ship and disgrace to their manhood,
say what they may by way Of excuse.
Sedalia has many rivals; she has
much to contend with and while it is
possible that the grand men who are
always on the alert for her interests
will still 60 on to victory yet it is IN
fair and unjust that those who have
slept while others toiled should share
in those victories which hard work
and self sacrifice of both money and
time have won.
