WHO'S YOUR FRIEND2

The following clipping from an

Who sympathized with you when
your little girl was sick? Was it
your home merchant or was it Sears,

winter when you were out of a job
and bad no money? Was it Mont.
gomery, Ward & Co., or was it
your home merchant? When you
want to raise m oney for the church
or some needy person in the town,
do you write to the Five Cent Store

nights did A. j. Childs & Go sit up
with you? When your loved one
was buried was it your home paper
which shed the tears of sympathy
and offered the cheering words, or
was it some St. Louis or Chicago
newspaper Remember that in case
of accident to yourself or family
your home merchant is the one that
applies the balsam, especially your

CLEANED AND PARTLY RE-
PAIRED AT LAST.

THE PROGRESS with pleasure and
qualification commends the quick
and energetic action taken by street
commissioner Starks III cleaning
and partly repairing the famous
Marble Spring as far as his power
rested. While speaking of the matter
to the writer he said that new shed
is very much needed. So we will
suggest to the council to build the
shed at once, as it will add greatly
to the appearance of the spring.
Last week in writing a little para
graph on the subject, we hurt the
feelings of some of the best members
of the board. But will willingly
retract anything we said in regard
to the matter if it can be proved
that we were in error. The quest
ion is, can it be proved? As the
editor of The PROGRESS and one
who has the welfare of the city at
heart, will say that any time when>
ever we think it proper we will
make such statements as we desire,
without asking the city council any
opinion on the subject. But as we
have heretofore said, will make
correction whenever in error, with
the greatest of pleasure.

The people who attempt to resist

The people who attempt to resist
progress remind us of the old woman
who lived on an island of the Atlen-
TIC. There came storm and tidal
wave one day and soon the water
began to rush under the door.
Seizing her broom she tried to swee p
back the advancing tide of the
ocean. The last seen OF the old
woman as the waters swept over the
house, she still held the broom and
was yet trying to sweep. Progress
is one of the laws of nature and
those who attempt to resist 1t in

theology, journalism and commerce

WRONG In PRINCIPLE.

How awkward aAd feeble headed
are some people to make re-
marks and conduct themselves in
such = manner against the progress
and stand Of the local paper for the
betterment Of the city: 'sStop my
paper at once" Refusing the pa.
per at the post Office and other
such "rot.' We believe men
are controlled by wrong impulses
when they express such sentiment.
In any community every man is
entitled to full and free express
sionofNhis views and opinions and
it IS contrary toFahe spirit of our
constitution to try TO control the
local paper by boycotting, including
the withdrawal of their patronage,
or making any threats. The PRoa-
REss believes every man has the
undisputed right to take off his
coat and work for whatever object
he thinks correct, but it does not
believe man has moral right to
threaten pecuniary loss in business
sense, to those who may disagree
with him. More respect is due the
man who boldly takes a stand upon
his own views, than to the one who
is playing between the lines, trying
to carry water on both shoulders or
attempting to ride horses in differ
ent directions at the same time.
The principle of Withdrawing your
from those who have the
courage of their convictions is,
therefore, open to condemnation,
and should not be resorted to by
men. Grant to others
,he same right of freedom of action
in these matters as you would de-
nand for yourself, and do not at
.empt to punish others for exercis.
Lg the privilege which you your.
,elf hold dear. You don't hurt the
paper in the least, but make your.
'elf look small in the eyes of the
community.

OUR NEW NAVAL
SECRETARY.

1t seems that ar Secretary Of III,
Navy Mr.. Paul Morton, who hs'
never commanded any craft cxcep'
private railroad car, intends to d
big things that will pletely pu
in the shade all the doings Of pr
vious secretaries. He desires =
country to know that be will not
satisfied with q larger navy, a
will not rest content until be b
constructed one that is the mo
formidable in existance. Such
navy, he asserts, is needed because
1t is the sswatch dog of American
commerce everywhere on the high
seas" Some of the New York
newspapers, however, are disturbing
him by calling his attention to the
fact that at the present time Ameri.
can commerce is not in need of a
watch dog, for the very good rea
son that nearly all Of 1t is carried on
foreign ships, and neutral ships
make neutral goods.
Certain it is that we do not need
the most formidable feet in exist
ence to protect the few ocean steam.
ers that now carry the American
flag. As it is we are now spending
/ more than 500, ,ooo,O0O year on
our navy which the majority Of the
American people who have to fur.
nish the money think is quite enough.
The Republican party, however, de-
lights in the extravagant expcndi.
ture Of the public funds, and II
Secretary Morton is permitted te
carry out the policy credited TO hin
we will be spending In very shor'
time $20o,0oo,oOo year on oul
navy with every prospect of tht
expenditure increasing until we have
not only navy that is "the mos
formidable IN existence" but one
for which we shall have no use.
The New York Evening Post re-
marks that England has appropria
ted abo,t $ls4, 900, 900 this yea'
for her navy. but when we have
caught up with that figure we shall
have to begin all over again, as she
will 60 US several better, and WI
shall find ourselves engaged in :
game in which the stakes constantly
grow but no one ever wins. How.
ever TO have a navy that is "tht
most formidable In existence" is In
keeping with the Rooseveltlan "blg
stick" policy, and should the Repnb.
licans be successful this fall the
country can look forward to another
period of riotous extravaganza in
Congress which will eclipse the
record of the past eight years. =

innocently become addicted to the

OUR CHOICE FOR ONGREss.

IF
The PRoaREss this week takes
great pleasure in announcing Hon.
=. j. Bowers, of Hancock county,
as our choice to succeed himself al
Congressman for this, the Sixth
District.
Congressman Bowers is one of
the ablest lawyers in the State and
as an orator he has few superiors, if
any.
1t was hardly expected that a
Congressman could accomplish SO
much in the short space of onssyear.
but Mr.. Bowers went to work for
the district with such energy and
fidelity that 1t is safe to say that
he will be returned at the coming
primary election, as his short career
in Congress was one that he should
feel proud, as we'll as his constitu>
ents.
The PRoeREss will say, however,
that it is about time theSixth District
is settling upon man to permanent-
ly represent us in Congress. The
practice Of ousting our Congressman
every two years simply to CRAFTY
some other mans political ambition
is positive injury TO the district.
Anyone in touch with the affairs at
Washington Is aware that a new
Congressman has no show, as COM
pared with the older men who have
been there continuously and are
thoroughly familiar with the works
ings of Congress, SO the District
should at this election settle upon
a competent man, as Mr.. Bowers,
and keep him there.
THE PkoGREss urges that every
voter in this city, as well as Jack.
son county vote for Mr.. Bowers, as
we can assure one and all that their
action will receive the hearty ap-
proyal of the entire District.

ADVICE 10 FOLKS FIGHT
ING FIRE.

The writer having had several
years experience as an active mem
Der and an officer Of the local fire
department, wishes to offer few
suggestions and a little advice to
citizens attending a fire.
The first duty to be attended to
is to yell; don't forget that, slso
give orders, no matter it they do:
confuse the 6remen, it's their busi.
ness, it's what they are there for;
if you can get in the road and hin.
der the hosemen SO much the better,
it will show the people you take an
interest in the proceedings. If an
officer Of the fire company gives an
order countermand it Immediately,
he may know his business and he
may not, that isn't your lookout.
About this time yell some more.
Get an ak or a club and break in ali
of the doors and all of the windows
of all of the houses within two
blocks of the fire, it may not be
necessary, but do il anyhow, it will
be good exercise and folks will
know you are con deck" In car
rying goods out of a burning build
ing or one anywhere near it, exer
else great caution, never set a thing
down carefully, throw 1t down with
a slam, the more pieces it breaks in
the better; the owner don't care.
A very good plan aud one generally
observed is to pile things up where
they will be sure to get run over
and smashed. If you see the fire.
men are getting the fire under con.
troll give some more orders, moi
that it il at all peedful, but it's
your prerogative; If you don't do /:
folks might think you had little
sense and that would be the worst
kind of a libel. Don't forget te
yell.
After the fire is out or the build.
ing burned down, 1t don't matter
which. tell everybody how hard
you worked, and what prodigies OF
valor you performed, also never by
any chance neglect to give the regu'
lar firemen fits. The boys rather
like 1t, and it encourages nightly.
While at a fire if one of the officers
of the fire company asks you to
help, give him contemptuous
stare, and attend to your regular
business, which is yelling and giv>
ing orders. If the firemen want
anything done, let them do it them
selves; that's what they get "cus-
sed' for. If you should neglect at
any time to get in the way and
hinder those who will work, or
shall forget to yell like drunken
Indian, you can make mp for it by
finding fault and criticlzing others.
If you will follow these rules, CT
su,h others az as may occur to your
mind, you may IN hundred years
or so be of some use around a fire,
but it isn't very likely.
