General Leonard Wood is back. But
we can't imagine what Office over here
is attractive enough for his fsstidious
tastes.
The cities which grow the more ra
pidly are those where the optimistic
spirit lie prevalent aud where there lie
frankness, candor, good will, and help
fulness upon the part of all-the COM
mon good being the only objective.
The man who croaks out of mere
spleen is a deterrent factor and he
should be eliminated, if it be possible
90 to do. There al be nj communal
ardor without common agreement.
This does not apply that there should
be assent to w%sstefulness or extrava-
gance on the part of those in control.
The main consideration is unihcation
on all propositions involving the com
munity's good.

Three cheers and e tiger for Pitts
burg millionaires who would not be
imposed upou. Rather than pay three
dollars for the hauling Of some bag
gage from the railroad depot to the
wharf they threw the baggage on a
truck aud pushed It to lie destination /.
II was not the amount Of money In
volved which led them to revolt. be-
oause they recompensed the owner OF
the truck with proper largess. Il
was the principle Of the thing.
Il would be q great deal better for
many people who are not milllonsires
to occasionally put their pride in their
pockets and ave money. The trouble
is, Of course, that the millionaire can
be a great many thlngs which the
poor man is afraid to do. He can
drive bis own coal cart II be wants to,
and will not, at the most be charged
with anything more tnsn eccentricity,
however, knows that Il he descends to
mental service 1t win be charged %
bis poverty. and the sting Of this In
situation is hard to bear. Conse-
quently, It IL the man who suffers from
imposition. He pays for things be
does not want, he yields to every ap.
peal to his vanity, and be goes through
life oppressed by the faIsity Of his
position. 1t takes q good deal Of NOR
al courage to acknowledge that there
are some things in the world beyond
u reach.
At the same time, those Pittsburg
milIionaires are entitled to our CRATE
full thanks. Whether in a spirit OF
bravado or OF righteous indignation
they resented an imposition, 1t will pay
some Of us to follow their example and
wheel our own baggage through the
world.

The improvements going on in
Okolona ct the present time is enough
to inspire any citizen who is not dead
that wonders can be accomplished, If
the proper effort is but put forth.
Main street is scarcely passsble by
pedestrian or team, so voluminOus is
the piled up material for improve
ments and everywhere the sound of
the hammer and she sing of the saw
is to be heard. In fifty years it is safe
to say there has not been IS much do
ing for the permanance and stability
of the city as is going on at this very
moment.

Murphy VS.. Munyan.

Before Judge Jessup last Friday, John
Murphy, of Logan, brought suit against
the former tenant of his farm, J. G. Mum
van, to recover $l5s-the value of s tons of
hay aud $50 back rent A. T. Rogers for
the plaintiff and F. B. Davis for the de-
fendent. The correctness of the $50 item
was admitted, the dispute being over the
hay. When Mnnyan moved on the farm
there was tons Of hay in the barn. I'm
der the terms of the lease Munyan had the
privilege of selling hay, but on leaving she
place he was to leave as much hay as he
found. Hedidn't leave any, hence the suit.
The defense was that last year was bad
day season, and while he didn't sell any
hay, be didn't have any to leave in the
barn. Judge Jessup reserved decision.
