When Will Il End?

Chanute is going some these days.
A great era of public improvement,
seems to have dawned on our city
and every body in every quarter OF
the town seems to be clamoring for
more improvements and greater
expenditure of public and private
money. There are good many
that can stand the extra cost but
some there are who cannot. In
some cases it means that the home
will have to be sacrificed. In every
part of the city the demand seems
to come, all at once, for street paw
ing or macaiam. Every one should
be interested in street improvements
and the betterment of the city in
every way, but it can't all be done
at once,
The good people turned down the
water Improvement proposition when
it only called for $4,000. No one
doubted the dersirabillty of tho i'm
proven ent, but every body felt that
the pinch OF excessive taxation was
upon US.
Everybody that knows anything
about our schools, knows we need
more buildings and better wages TO
our teachers to secure and hold The
best talent. There is crying need
for new rooms but the state of mind \
our citizens are in is likely to cause
them to vote down any kind of q
bond proposition that might be sub
mitted. We are gIing just a little
too fast. that's the trouble, The
people wanta slight breathing spell.
A beautifully paved and otherwise
beautifed city, is pleasing to the eye
but city that is ever taxed is not
very attractive to ehe investor or
capitalist.
1t seems to US that IN considcrs-
ton of the general conditions pre-.
vailing at present and the amount of
indebtedness we are now carrying,H
an increase of the city deblJ
further, at this tiEae, would be in
wise.

good will habit. We feel that if we
only had the opportunity of knowing
them, we should like them.
In other words, the kindly habit,
the good will habit makes US feel
more sympathy for everybody. And
If we radiats this helpful feeling,
others will reflect it back to us.
On tho other hand, If we 60
