Push With the Crowd.

Covington, March 8, 1907.
Editor ST. Tammany FARMER;
Dear S'ir-Allow me to offer yol
my very sincere and cordial con
CALCULATIONS on your editorial In las
issue concerning concerted actor
on the part Of the men, and espe'
ciallY the young men, of the towr
towards the realization of hopes
that have been held for brighter
cleaner and more attractive envi
. ronment.
This should receive ample anG
cordial encouragement from all to
whom the development'of our natural
gifts is real and true desire.
You say truly that petty differ
ences should be forgotten, or al
least laid aside, in the effort after a
highetTdeal. All of us cannot DO equa
parts, as some have better and more
means; hut there are avenues for
the employment of all sorts of tai
ents along these lines.
would suggest, not, please be,
lieve me, in a critical way, but be
cause I take deep and disintcr
ested interest in these proceedings,
that while it should be so that al
should put their shoulders to the
wheel, if some should pull 10 one
direction and others in another, the
wheel will either not move at all, OF
It's course will be so cratic that nc
definite result be had. ..+
1t seems to me that some definite
direction mueJ be given to the
united impetus, and then all OUT
energy should be applied in thai
one direction, and concentrated
on some one undertaking, while
not forgetting others.
That there must be some ener.
getic and thoughtful leadership,
aud this must be submitted to and
earnestly followed.
Who then will do the leading
Who will place himself at the head
Of the crew and direct the push thai
must be given to the wheel?
The logical leadership. I believe,
should be in the Mayor of the town,
whom it seems is elected for just
such things, and l earnestly believe
that should he place himself to the
front he will be cheerfuliy encour
aged and willingly followed.
1t would be interesting to me,
and, I have no doubt, to your other
subscribers as well if you would
touch up .hese questions a bit in
your succeeding issues
I SIN very cordially yours.
