is always attended by more or less
danger, II we but take a glimpse
around us and see the determined
effort OF some OF our neighborIng
towns to forge to the front
we have grounds TO stop and think.
The spirit of progressiyeness, OF en-
ergy, push and enterprise which per-
yades the very atmosphere OF a num-
Der OF our smaller sister towns upon
the plains Is marvellous and certain
ly commendable. While thus there
appears to be wonderful ambition in
these smaller towns, Amarillo seems
to be losing It's former ambition. IL
Is true this does not apply to
great many OF our people, but II does
apply to many who devote themselves
to clogging the wheels Of progress
instead Of lending their energies In
the onward march,
Our real town builders and live
men may always be seen In attend
ance at our public meetings in the
interest OF Amarillo The drones In
the hiye--the burden we ought not
TO carry-are always conspicuous by
their absence. This should not be-
We must all wake up!
Every citizen who has the interest
OF the city at heart, who has any In
tcrest whatsoever in Amarillo, who
mas any intention Of becoming inter-
ested In Amarillo, should be in the
ranks Of the procession OF progress,
and at least be worker in the rear,
II unwilling to pc identified with
the vanguard.
it Is far from pleasant for the Dali
ly Panhandle to bring up such mat
ters from time to time, out we feel
1t as a duty of newspaper to urge
citizens to better endeavors to
more united efforts and more de-
termined interest in Amarillo's prog
ress, We trust this mild reminder of
our duty as citizens will have
wholesome effect.

err having delivered the goods" as
ne himself expressed it, Admiral
Robley d. Evans said that the record
in straight shooting made by the
men OF his command shattered all
existing records, whether Of the
American, British, French, Japanese,
German or any other navy. He de-
clared that if the secret report is
given out, and he believes it should
be, 1t will cause the most profound
sensation in naval and consequently
IN political circles that the world has
mad for a long time. Admiral Evans
also took occasion to announce what,
IN his opinion, is the overshadowing
lesson TO be drawn from the cruise.
In his belief the cruise has pointed
this lesson with direct finger-the
Pacific fleet sould be as large as the
Atlantic and the total number Of bat
tleships should be increased as fast
as possible to forty-eight. At present
the navy has but twenty-nine battle
hips. Not the four more battleships
asked for by President Roosevelt, but
nineteen-that is the need Of the
country, in the admiraPs Judgment.

Much of the sentiment that now
finds Judgment in the public mind
against the saloon can be traced direct
ly to the fight made before the last
Legislature by the friends of the five
mile limit bill. Arguments made in
favor of the bill at that time by SEN
ator Boone and others in support of
this measure, and later by the success
full fight waged in this city, went far
toward the capitalization of this SEN
timent throughout the state, and in
Thursdays convention there were many
delegates who first began to think SER
iously on the saloon question when it
was before them in the last legislature.
The state of Washington is now not
far from the dry column, and Pullman
feels much pride in having been the
pioneer in the movement.

Sentiment has been fast crystalliz-
ing during the past year on the saloon
question. The action of the republican
state convention Thursday lin pledging
the party to the enactment of a reas-
enable local option law at the next
session of the legislature comes from
most representative body of men as
a fair reflection of that sentiment, and
proves anew the fact that within the
republican party can be found the solu-
ton of public questions that the party
always meets fearlessly and wisely.
