Out Of congress Mr.. Bryan gave

nomination for the presidency.
Although the platform on which he
stood excited much opposition from
many sources, Mr.. Bryan claimed that
It represented his convictions, and an

GET IN THE PUSH.

If there be one better way than
another to ruin a town, it is foi
those who live in it to go about
apologizing for its existence.
There are some who are always
ready to say, by their actions at
least, that this place don't amoun:
to much. They will tell you that
the town is dead; that no one
would think Of stopping here;
that some town adjacent is more
respectable, more enterprising,
has better people, better enjoy
ments and is ahead of us in every
thing. This is all wrong. Even
if this be true, no one should ever
admit it when it comes to making
a comparison. Every good citi-
zen of this town should take a
special local pride in all that per-
tains to home. The schools, the
churches, the amusements, the
business, the pleasures, the pic
MICS, the celebrations, in fact ev-
erything should be looked upon
by our own people as just as good
as can be gotten up elsewhere.
The town that says We can will
always succeed. The town that
says, oh ! don't know, l don't
think it will amount to much, is
never of much force. If you have
no local pride, borrow some. Get
in the progressive push and help |
right the things that are wrong.
It takes aggressiveness and con-
slant work and vigilance to keep
social and moral conditions up to
standards.
