The Unit And The Community
From the Easton (Md.) Ledger

From the EaStOn Mo- Ledger.
One great factor in the prosperity Of a com
munity and in the building up Ct its material
progress and in the development of its latent
resources is for every one to attend to his own
business, which presupposes that he has some
thing to attend to, industriously and faithfully,
with an eye single to his own success; and,
while doing this to the best of his ability and
with all his skill, to avoid obstructing others
who are units each for himself on the same
lines, or pulling down what they are uprais-
ing. This is the individual effort for individ-
ual success, without which there can be no
abiding prosperity. 1t is the basic incentive
to plan and labor to design and work. 1t is
the handspring of human action.
But if the individuals of community pull
apart; if selfshness is the one controlling feat
IRE; if pulling down others while upbuiding
oneselfis a part of the individual scheme; if
jealousy of the success of others corrupts
mind, heart and judgment; if the more pros
porous are made glad by the failure Of others,
there is rottenness in the community, be it
town or county, which is bar to any perma-
nent prosperity. The prosperous man must
desire prosperous community, unless he Is u
fool, the man struggling to active success
must want prosperity around him unless be is
a bigger fool. Quarrel with no man because
he is successful; rejoice with him. Thrust
backward no man because he is yearning for
success and trying to achieve it. Rather lend
him a helping hand.

To Be Voted Upon.

Governor Smith will soon issue his procla-
nation submitting to the people three consti-
tutional amendments. They are as follows:
l. Dividing the city of Baltimore into four
Legislative districts of as nearly equal proper
lions as may be, and of contiguous territory,
and giving the city one Senator from each of
the districts, making four instead of three
Senators as heretofore.
q Increasing the representation of the
city of Baltimore in the House of Delegates
from, Is to "a by allowing to each of the four
Legislative districts so created representation
equal to that enjoyed by the largest county,
which is six Delegates.
The county basis of apportionment is not
changed, the effects of the two amendments
being simply to provide for Baltimore city one
additional Legislative district, one more Sen
ator and six more Delegates in the General
Assembly of 1904.
3. Providing that States attorneys of The
counties shall perform such duties aud receive
such fees and commissions or salary, not ex
ceeding So, 900, as may now or may hereafter

the same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ontments can
not reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many years
made close study and specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
Treatment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently cures
