When an CT Ger. or a board Of otfi-
GERS, does a good deed they should
have the credit for t. Public life has
at best a rather thorny pathway. It
Is nos all roses, nor all sunshine as
some imagine. who have never tried
IT, Perhaps the most irritating thing
about it ali is public ingratitude. The
smallest error is often permitted to
overshadow the good deeds of whole
official career The news of good
deeds travels slower than the news Of
evl ones
The county commissioners Of Logan
county have done a good deed They
have saved this county $1,000. on two
r1dgs contracts by their good sense
and zeal for public welfare It Is only
enc ZEN. but 1t serves as an indi-
Gator af the good things that are being
done by the new board.
The contracts for repairing the
bridge at Coyle and the one north Of
Guthrie across the CT lrron river
have been let. About two weeks ago
the board rejected all bids because
they thought that they were too high.
When the bids were opened, it was
found that the highest bid was $500
below any former bid. The bids that
were accepted. however, we're, as a
whole. $1,000 less than the former bids.
This saves Logan county just that
much money. Had the bosrd acted
hastily and against the peoples inter
ests the county might have been forced
to pay $1,000 more than was neces'
sary
The commissioners might have ae
cepted the lowest bid, after due notice
had been given and no one perhaps
would have been any the wiser, but
the commissioners true to their duty
found that the prices were all of then
too high and so rejected all Of the frs
lot Of bids, thereby saving the county

Nothing succeeds like success. The
quotation IS often made and sounds
ike q needless reiteratian Take a
look at it this way once If you never
have. People like success. They will
follow after t. They will help 6 70
succeed more abundantly. Therefore
better hang out the tag Of success in
whatever you are doing
Raise the sign OF distress, WINNER
and tag yourself a failure and lnsh
will accept your saying and push you
aside as one Of the dead ones. They
are not crael they only take your own
statement for &C and merely read the
price on the tag YOU hang out. Then
hang out the tag Of success.
If the price on the merchants suit
were SO high as to lead to suspicious,
IL would be a fatal error. The pur-
chaser would not buy If on the other
hand it were too low the purchaser
would think it was shoddy goods and
pass on. The price tag should not be
foverworked.
What IS good doctrine for an in
dividual and a merchant is good doc
trine for city A city should hang
out its tag. Label the tag success, put
the price reasonable and show the
goods. It is necessary to have the
goods of course. but it Is very neces-
sary to label them good goods and put
a reasonable price on the tag. Call
/ the town a success.
There is nothing succeeds like sue
cess On the other side there is moth.
1 ing fails like failure Label man, a
piece Of goods or city failure and the
deed Is done The label is not all that
is needed in either case but given a
good subject, then hang out the tag
success.
Would you call this advertising
We'll perhaps it is but it does not
mean newspaper advertising only
though that IS one very valuable
method, it means al forms Of adver
tising if you must call # so, but just
now let MS call f. the tag success.
The capital city has the men, it has
the goods, it has the city. 1t has
succeeded and will succeed It has
grown and viii grow 1t is richly en
titled to hang out the tag success.
