would have been cheered and hearts
warmed; bu> no. it went to swell the
dividends of surfeited, boastful city
concerns.
The live and let live doctrines was
overlooked; its old-fashioned whole
someness was utterly disregarded.
The country merchant would have
been engaged in his daily struggi Y.
instead of battling at long odds
against ostracism, adversely, big bills
and meager recel pts.
Think of 5000, 900 900, ye who cause
the catalogue houses to flourish as the
cedars of Lebanon. and the green bay
tree; remember that their prosperity
is at the expense of your brother, the
local merchant, and local progress.
Then ask this pertinent question: Can
we afford to play the game longer;
can we longer stultify local interests
This great evil affects every farm
er, teacher and work hand. every
home, every school, every church In
every country community. 1t also
touches the interests of the physician.
preacher and pedagogue. 1t really
robs the country merchant before his
eyes. in heartless way. He sees the
freight yard crowded with consign-
ments to individuals from great cata-
logue houses. and sadly does he look
at his country store with its stock
accommodating. for want of trade, and
thus decreasing in value every day.
Sadly too does he look at the refuge
of bankruptcy hourly being hastened
because his townsmen prefer the cata-
logue house with its ubiquitous cir
culars. Those train loads of goods
were bought with money that should
have found its way into the honest
hand of your local merchant, who has
the good of your locality at heart, and
who is expected to contribute literally
and continuously to very moral and
benevolent institution in your midst.
Then likewise remember this, that of
all the millions thus sent to swell the
Golfers OF houses in great cities, not
one cent will ever return to bless your
community; to clothe the naked, to
feed the hungry or to educate the
ignorant!
This is certainly a misguided, i'll
advised policy: II self preservation is
the first law of nature. the fact just
stated should cause lovers of this
country to think. Continue this policy
and what follows? The value Of real
estate decreases, local improvements
cease. material progress stops, the
whole country suffers.
The money of a community repre-
sents in business sense inst SO much
possibility. and every honest occuna-
tion r, injured In proportion as that

Fortunate Men Of Prominence.

Admirers of great. rich or famous
people often bestow their wealth upon
the objects OF their regard. The Ger
man emperor heads the list of lucky
ones SO favored. His receipts in
money and real estate during the last
ten years would. 1t is said, make a
millionaire envious. Following prece.
dent, a Hamburg merchant prince left
more than 100000 to the emperor $
chancellor. whom Kaiser William i'm
mediately created Prince" Buelow.
William Jennings Bryan recently
came by wealth in the same way. In
England Lord Allerton has received
100000 from an admirer OF his public
career and DIR. Jameson inherits a sum
one-fifth larger under the will of Mr.
Belt. Queen Victoria was very for
tunate in her admirers. of whom the
e9''hiest was Nield. who bequesshed
10 her the sum of 81 .250.000.

These are the words of wisdom and

should be in many country district.

and scatters 1t abroad in field where
1t is not needed; this Is unfair to both
the town and to its merchants. This
shortsighted citizen complains of the
size and character of his town paper,
at the same time he pursues policy
which tends to destroy both. Then.

In . certain rural community, this
ofhciai order and warning was issued:
Unless bad roads are fixed there
VIII De no rural delivery at ALL" 1t Is
Impossible to put roads in repair with
out money. This lack OF means can
not be traced to poor crops. for the
harvest Just gathered in has been
superabundant. Men cannot support
and build up business concerns in dis
tant cities without sacrificing the
local good. Is it fair to establish the
city by depriving the country OF its
Just support?
Many hold forth the idea that the
country is the feeder OF the city
This Is only partially true. That doc
trine has been preached till the text
is threadbare. 1t would be much
wiser for men to get a new text and
talk and work the country up. then
allow the city, including its mail or
der Octopus, to work its own prob
lens awhile. This. instead of being
selfishness. would be the finest order
of common sense. A more marked
feeling of brotherhood interest is
sadly needed in the country on this
particular point.
The rural population complain OF
lack OF facilities and conveniences; in
order TO obviate this, let $200.000.0 900
this coming year be disbursed among
country merchants. among the hum
bier storekeepers, then observe what
will follow. The improvements would
be marked. Social conditions would
be greatly amellorated. A new order
would maintain in the home and over
the broad acres OF the farm and best
of all. the social spirit of brotherhood
would be felt as never before.

Editor Daily press-No one appre-
ciates your efforts in trying to rid
the community Of knockers more than
do. yet since Newport News has
grown in population since came
here thirteen years ago from 5000
To live times six. | am persuaded that
the knocker contingency must be
greatly in the minority. Without the
knocker. am prepared to say our
population would be 10000 instead Of
10000. In every community. you
will find knockers by way of excuse
for not doing well. Often one shows
his or her hand in this way and it
makes it hard for them to get credit
and they remain in the old rut so
long that knocking becomes chronic.
We do lots of business with knock
ers and they are not always to be
blamed. as they speak thoughtlessly.
Some people get in the habit of say
ing IL am right we'll" when sick and
others poorly" when well. | only
hope Mr.. Editor you will keep it up,

sufficient. it should be repeated until
they realize that no one likes the

nothing to better the condition.
