Palestine never had SO many good
things showed her way as are being
offered just now, but her ability to
take them is limited because of the
funds in the hands of the Board of
Trade with which to handle them.
Right now two good propositions are
up to the town, both well worth while,
and both should be secured. The
need of the hour is more men in the
Board of Trade and more active inter
est on the part of the solid men in
the towns business.

President Silliman announced last
night that he would call at an early

Certainly nothing is of more impor,

and if a general discussion will help
to that end then good work will be
accomplished by such meeting of

PALEsTINE's ONE GREAT NEED.

Good things are being offered to
Palestine these days. Some of them
will be secured, and some of them
will be lost. At present one of the
biggest plant concerns in the country
is knocking at. our door and will come
here and locate a great industry if
the inducement is offered. And the
government is asking to have the CO.
operation of the people in establish

raisiIig. And Other things are con
stantly being offered, things that il
secured would increase the wealth
and population of the town and coun-
ty, and offer an attraction to draw
other Industries and enterprises. Pal
estine is fully able financially and in
other ways to handle these PROPOSE
lions and make them part of our re-
sources, and the only reason we are
not doing it is because so many of
the substantial men of the town re-
fuse to come out and take hold in the
public work True, the city has a
Board of Trade, and few loyal men
are doing all possible to take care of
the situation, but few men, however
earnest and Jealous, cannot handle
the situation. What this town needs
and needs right now is stronger or
ganization and more help from the
people who should help, whose pri-
vate interests would be helped by do
ing some of the public work. This is
not newspaper talk, but expresses an
actual condition in this city. The
great body of men are taking no in
terest in public affairs. Two propo-
sitions are before the Board of Trade
right now that demand the very best
attention of the business element, and
they should have this interest The
Herald sincerely hopes that with the
beginning of the new year the men
of the town will respond to the stu

NEAR ORGANIZATIONS.

In its December issue Town De-
velopment, a magazine published in
Chicago, had the following article
which contains much food for
thought:
From time to time Town Develop
ment makes conspicuous mention
of those towns and cities which have
commercial organizations in name
only.
1.-The commercial club, business
mems association, chamber of COM
merce, or like organization which is
an organization in name only, is a
greater detriment to the town or city
in which it pretends to exist, than
any citizen in the town can under
stand In the nature of things, the
citizen is not the man who under
stands. He has little or no direct
opportunity to know the shortcomings
of such an organization, compared to
the manufacturer or business man
who visits the town with a business
object, and after being referred by
three or four different men on whom
he calls to as many other men with
even less interest or knowledge of
how to help the inquirer, takes the.
next train out of town with the al
most ineffacable impression that the
town is a dead one. A live, active Or
ganization would have given the in
quirer just the opposite impression.
Inactive organizations hurt town
in other directions, and in the inter
est of all concerned they should be
put out of existence so as not longer
to mislead really sincere and inter-i
ested parties.
There are scores of these disin-
.rregarTTg sEeeiftgrons ;aTIsTing IN splen-.
did towns which deserve really live,
wide-awake, effective organizations
which will answer correspondence
promptly and give the right kind of
reception to Interested visitors
Many manufacturer has had the
disappointing experience of writing
to towns and getting no response;
but this is not as bad as the expert
ence of the manufacturer who per-
sonally visits the town at his own
expense and when he gets there can
find no organizations to tell him
about unoccupied factory buildings or
factory sites or railroad freight rates
or labor conditions or any one of the
several questions which every town
with ambition to grow can afford to
have a paid secretary to handle for
the interest of the town and for the
information of all interested in
quirers.
There is no compromise with in
active organizations, They are worse
than no organization at all.
Near organizations is good
name for the type of shadows to-
which we allude. Their detriment to
town is as certain as fate and the
ways in which such near organiza-
lions hurt are even more numerous
than the ways in which an active,
live, effective organization helps
town or city"
