oped. Two blades of grass grow
where there was only one, and the
factory smokestacks sprout like
asparagus.
The promoter takes chances, works
hard, and if he gets rich deserves it.
The forests of Michigan were
timbered for profit, and logging rail-
roads followed the AK. These rail-
roads now carry passengers and
freight into the fruit country that
has been promoted on the ashes of
the forest.
Less than one hundred years ago,
the entire state of Pennsylvania held
but few more people than are now in
Pittsburg, and nobody knew the
earth was full of coal.
Pennsylvania has been promoted.
The men wished to get rich with
dispatch, even if not necessarily
with neartness, bored and dug, and
built, organized and re.organized,
consolidated and separated-got rich
and went broke-sweated, toiled,
stewed, lived and died.
And Pennsylvania was promoted.
1t has now over 5000, 900 popula-
tion.
1t produces each year more than
l4O, 600, 900 tons Of coal, worth 5000. :
900, 900.
1t has $1,000 miles of railroad, and
map of Its trolley lines looks like
a photograph of fly screen.
Some years ago man, with the
spirit of Hudson and Penn, and the
Pilgrims, drove a prairie schooner out
of Missouri and across Kansas.
His was an exploration and coloni'
zation project. Other men to the
number of many thousands followed
in his wheel tracks, and the railroad
crept slowly on their trail.
And Kansas was promoted.
And the winning of the west was
on its way.
The state of Colorado, twice as big
as Pennsylvania, and ten times less
populous, has added more hundreds
of millions to the wealth of America
having been partially promoted.
The promoting explorer comes
back from Colorado with stories Of
wealth that make Monte Cristo seem
like a pauper.
And of course we don't believe
them.
] Europe was full of skeptics wher
Columbus issued his first extra,
telling all about the property he hac
homesteaded, and the timber claimed
and staked out.
Thirty years ago Leadville was not
even a dot on the map; since ther
it las produced over 1920, 600, 600 ir
gold, silver, lead and copper-every
dollar is traceable Co the impulse OF
the speculator and promoter.
In 1904 Colorado produced ovel
5000, 900 tons of coal.
Somebody has got to do some Goa
promotion in Colorado. Transporta.
tion is the principal difficulty, which
means also railroad promoting fol
somebody.
And yet we are asked to believe
that the promoter is an enemy tc
society and we side step when he
reaches for us.
i The human imagination is hardly
capable of conceiving anything more
wonderful than has actually occurred
in promoting in America. And il
has now only barely good running
start.
Look at Pennsylvania.
Look at Colorado.
Get an atlas and an encyclopedia
study history and learn proper
respect for the speculator, the
pioneer, and explorer and exploitel

and developes.

THE PROMOTER
:. = AND WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR HIS COUNTRY - =

Popular prejudice at present
brands the promoters as pirates.
But where would we be without
them?
1t is they who have developed the
country. First of them all came
Christopher Columbus, of Spain and
Genoa. His was an exploration
company, and sought for himself and
hackers quick riches in an undevel-
oped land,
Following him came many others
daring gamblers all, risking what
they had for the sake of probemati-
cal, prospective profit.
Piazrro, Cortez, De Soto, Father
Marquette, Walter Raleigh, William
Penn, Henry Hudson and a hundred
lesser, gallant, gamblous gentlemen
let history call them what it may,
in truth we know them as promoters.
Raleigh was the original promoter
of tobacco-the real founder of the
tobacco trust.
William Penn engineered one OF
the most immensely profitable land
schemes in the worlds history.
The colonization enterprise of the
Pilgrims proves its success in thu
forest of Maytlower family trees anc
in the material prosperity upor
which radiate the CLEANS from
Boston's golden domed capitol.
Wherever progress has been made
there also has been risk, speculation
promotion. The world has beer
developed by greed of gain.
Pure art for arts sake is seldom
and science mainly wants its quit
pro quo.
Selfish? Sure.
But is not the laborer worthy O
his time check?
Maybe he is willing to take it il
glory-maybe medals appeal to hin
more than money. And maybe he i
right, for the ultimate usefulness o
money is for the acquisition of dis
tinction, if it be only the distinc
tion of driving motor car taste
than anybody else, or sleeping in
ten thousand dollar bed.
1t is the hope Of reward that in
cites progress.

seeks, and sees, and seizes oppor
tunity.
He is not satisfied with a dollar ;
day and the simple life.
He is animated with beautiful
discomfort, and, like the mouse il
the milk, he hustles till he floats OF
cake of butter of his own making.
The promoter says to the artisan
''Send me your tools and will bor
for oil, or water, or gold, or coal
and I'll divide. -
He says as Columbus said: Grub

There is coal, or gold, or iron, o

Let's get it out and get to tn

Death in Worcester, Mass, of Mrs.
Mary Adams Smith.

wary ADAMS Smltn.
News was received this week of the
death of Mrs Mary Adams Smith in
Worcester, Mass, Feb. "a. Although
she had been in poor health, her dearh
was sudden and without a struggle.
Mrs. Smith was the daughter of Will
liam and Sarah Osgood Adams. Her
father, when a boy, came with his
father Samuel Adams, of Dunn
merston, and located in this
town about 1919. From that
time to last May the Adams fam
lily had occupied the farm, period of
SO years. During this period, no one
family has welded a stronger in
fiuence for the good of the commune
ty than theirs. Mrs. Smith received
an academical education at Leland
and Gray seminary, and her life was
promising as teacher and in other
relations. But misfortune came to
her early, being thrown from a wagon
which made her ever afterward lama
and she was afflicted with deafness.
She made her home life the chief fell
FOR her good will and remained with
her parents. After their death she
married Orland Smith and they oc-
cupied the Adams homestead until
last spring, when, owing to i'll health
ana the coming of old age, she sold
her farm and had been visiting with
relatives and friends, intending. in
the spring, to keep house with her
husband. But death overlook her in
her 10th year while stopping with
relatives in Worcester. Her husband
accompanied her body to its last rest
ing place. Funeral services were held
sunday at the Baptist church of which
she was worthy member. and buriai
was in the family lot in Riverside
cemetery. Her near relatives had died
before her but her husband is left IN

good deeds, she held the love and
respect of the people of this town In |
which her life was spent.
