HITS THE
COMPREHENSIVE
mol the EaItor o. .ae EvenIng LEDGER.

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger.
Like all cities surrounded by a rich
agricultural district, from which IL
derives Its life blood, Mexico contains
many retired farmers, men who have
made money in the country and who
have removed to town. II you ask
one Of these land holders why be de-
serted the country, nine times out OF
ten he will tell you that he removed

self nearer to q daily paper, closer 70
fresh meat, and next door to those
things that appeal TO the higher man.
the church; the library, and the book
store. There ia a perfectly natural
dislike between city aud country. CITY
boys and countryb boys do not,as a rule,
like one another. The farmer brings
with him TO town his country notions.
But the city 10 not the country and
the country is not a city. The city
is not a mere collection Of houses; u
is an organization, for mutual pront'
and must move along economic lines
entirely different from those that DO
inmate farm life, Agriculture Is tine
backbone Of our nations wealth; 1t
supports the cities and the railroads,
yet farmers are not the ones to rut In
charge OF collective enterprises. They
are not trained for the business, and
they will readily see that they are not.
The q why the farmer has moved
into town Is because OF convenience;
his church, the school that his child
rem attend, his meat market, his gro
Gerry, and all other trading points are
close at hand. He a reach any OF
them within five minutes. With or
binary country roads 1t might take
him five hours. After all, how all our
prosperity hinges upon the roads that
we travel upon.
Two facts are settled beyond dis
pute: a city must be built upon the
foundations Of what we have, or we
must attract outside people to help
rs in the work. And, in all candor,
what attractions do we offer to the
outsider? We have no library, except
OF course private collections, which
are not open to the general public.
We have no hospital which is a great
reflection upon the business n Of
the town. or course certain interests
oppose any institution that is in touch
with modern thought, and for purely
selfish reasons but in any progressive
community such interests would never
have any weight. Some property
holders of Mexico would say several
things II they only knew what their
indifference bad cost them. No city
is without a public library, and no
city is without a hospital. No city is
without a gas plant. Progressive cities
are building central heating stations.
Suppose we had here, lin Mexico, q
beautifully paved city, with a fine
library, a gymnasium, a modern hos
pital, and gas cooking ranges, with
twenty thousand people, what man
within forty miles of the town would
not be proud to declare himself from
Mexico, Missouri?
