LET ALL PULL TOGETHER.
Necessity OF Harmonious Efforts on
Part of Citizens.

The principle of working together
and accomplishing more than individ-
ual effort may accomplish is the real
reason for associations, secret So
cieties, fraternities, organizations Of
every sort. Pulling together does
things which nothing else may accom-
plish. Its value is very great.
There is danger, too, in uniting
oneself too closely with others, lest
ones liberty be involved. But that
lies wholly in the construction of the
combination. If properly put together,
it may accomplish the ends desired
without curtailing the freedom of the
associated individuals. However, we
desire to say word about working in
harmony, whether in actual associa-
ton or without any definite organiza-
ton.
When partners work together the
accomplishment of the firm is far
greater. When merchants of a town
resolve to work together for the bene-
fit of themselves they do things worth
doing. When the business interests
of state resolve to bend their united
energies to the fulfllment of some
thing needed the chances of success
are multiplied by geometrical progress
sion.
There is not city in the country
against which at some time the
charge has not been laid of selfishness
and hoggishness. Yet these cities are
no more selfish than any other aggre-
cation of people. The man who sets
at outs cities and towns and country
sides may not do it through any save
a mistaken sense of loyalty to his
home; but for all that he does dam
age. He makes mistake. It Is q
selfishness in itself to try to belittle
ones competitors. 1t leads to envy
and host of evils.
Your town may have all the good,
honest, generous folks on the face Of
the earth, but we doubt it. We think
we have known a few elsewhere. Your
market city may possibly be the
abode of thieves and liars only, but
we have known many honorable citi.
zens and upright business men in it..
Work with them and not against them.
and together you may pull the cart
out Of the rut. With you tugging at
one end and he sweating at the other,
and both Of you cussing each other
and lifting at different times, nothing
can ever be accomplished. Work to-
gether in all legitimate and desirable
deeds.

An INDIGNANT Editor.

Last Saturday evening after sewing
two patches on our Sunday trousers
and cleaning and pressing them we
hung them out to dry. An hour later
we found that they had been stolen.
This will explain why we were not in
our accustomed place in church on
Sunday. The human being who will
deliberately steal a pair OF trousers
from the editor Of a weekly paper, and
knowing that they are his only pair for
church-going, deserves worse fate
than our indignation will allow us to
mention. 1t seems to us as If civiliza-
ton had been turned back half cen.
