The Progressive Union.

What of the Progressive Union?
Are the people of Columbus con-
tent with the good work accom-
plished last year? Are they will
ing for the development of the
city to stop now? Do they want
TO sit idle for another year or two
awaiting another industrial wave
or will they rise to the occasion
now, re organize the union and
begin anew the work so well
begun last year?
No community can afford to sit
still, be idle. The moment it
ceases to go forward that mo-
ment it begins to retrograde. IF
we do not take advantage of the
fine advertisement secured fol
this city last year. if we do not
follow up the good work already
begun we will in a measure lose
large part of the return frou
our labor and our enterprise.
We must organize. We mus
get together and no matter what
are our little differences, upor
the broad plane of developing
our city and making her people
prosperous we must work to
gether for that end Presiden
