A CITIZENS DUTY.

Next to a mans family and
business nothing should stand
dearer to a mans heart than the
community in which he lives. 1t
is his home. 1t is the place in
which he earns his competence
and educates his children. If
he wants to make it popular, as
thrifty and widely known as
possible, he cannot afford to be
indifferent to any thing that will
further these ends. 1t can be
said that a town that is not
worthy of the devotion of its
citizens in making it widely and
generally prosperous is town
in which it is not worth while to
live at all. IF town is worth
anything it is worthy of our
greatest energy, whether we
merely take our share of the
common benefits accorded our

not in the compass of human ma
ture to devote brains, time and
capital to such an undertaking
when that institution would fall
on an unappreciative people.
We do not expect too much, but
when we make a fair and square
proposition which will result in
your benefit as we'll as our own,
we do expect for it to at least
reach responsive chord in
every throbbing heart for Can
yon City. Can you say that it
is entirely selfinterest and self.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that prompts
us in an effort to help the town?
In a measure, yes; but take the
matter home to yourself and see
that if after careful studyit will
not benefit you by hearty CO.
operation to the same purpose.
But we have deviated from our
original subject. Considering
that this gentleman of Atlanta
has in good faith asked for this
medium of determining his
choice for 4 location. And, for
the sake Of argument, let US say
that he has capital and is seek
ing a good sized town for the
launching of some needed enter
prise; could be, by looking at
this copy of the News estimate
the size of the town, the mber
of business houses and the va
rious other institutions that pro.
mote the progress of a town.
And he might, though this is
not used as an accusation, see
by the subscription rolls of that
local paper, that some of the
business men Gid not even take
the paper, though this is rare
instance. Again we beseech
you not to consider this as cry
for your dollars, for dollars are
not generally gotten this way.
1t is in this category: Are
you willing for this paper
to be a foreign advertise
ment to your town by appre-
ciating our humble efforts
in that direction. This is a
plain talk, my gentle reader
but it is unengendered with
malice or complaint.

PUT ON THE ARMOR.

A town must be judged in the
light of its opportunities. What
has the concerted and continu
Gus movement of good citizens
accomplished in Canyon City
during the past year: Surely
no one will hold up his head and
say that the generous support
of most of its citizens has been
unavailing in the step by step
progress that eventually lifts a
town from a primitive frontier
trading point, to a town of pro-
gressive citizenship whose
hearts in every pulsation re-
spends to its call for her patri-
otto sons. Canyon City must be-
gin to take on the air of conf
dence which comes from the re-
alization that it can at least
make a shadow in the era of de
velopmcnt of the Panhandle.
Now as never before the rapidly
materializing promise of a per
manent settlement of this here
to-fore arid region should add
inspiration and zealousness to
the citizens of our town.
1t would be too much to say
that the town lacked self conf
dence, for in the past it has al
ways manifested something like
unshaka bic faith to those things
to which it actually laid its
hands. 1t has not been a falter-
ing town at any time in its his
tory; we know no such thing
here as abandoned undertakings.
If the town has had 4 fault it
lay in the fact that it undertook
too little.
Numbered in the list of con
sentative towns of the Panhan-
die, Canyon City has INDUCED
a just pride in its conservatism,
and preened itself upon a repu-
tation for solid citizenship, pos
sessed Of substantial wisdom
and the fact of having avoided
great mistakes in the whirlpool
of speculations.
When, some time ago, the riv-
airy for size and numbers with
Amarillo was put beyond ques,
ton by the latter's acquisition
of railway facilities that enables
it for the time being to gain su.
premacy, we fell behind with
rather good grace and consoled
ourselves with the reflection, in
which we have been justified
that at least we should escape
the evils attendant upon too
sudden acquisition of area and
population.
1t is possible that we have
erred in the direction of exceS
sive conservatism, that we have
gone further than necessary to
eliminate the element of chance
from local enterprises, that
ultra caution has resisted
growth and expansion. This is
the harshest criticism offered
against the towns course, and
it has come only from outside
sources. Were it not entirely
well.founded, Canyon City
might make ready answer that
