from what Attorney General Wick

WHEN the people Of Dodge City
hear the fire whistle again they will
feel that there has been criminal neg
lect in rot taking some step for bet
ter FIRE protection. By the way how
many know just how much the pre-
sent fire protection is costing the
town. Does any one think that the
city is paying for what the present
volunteer company does? Does any
one know anything about it, or care
any thing about it?

LECTURE COURSE.
The Four Artists Concert Wes Very Popular
With Dodge City Audience.


With Dodge City Audience.
The music lover Of Dodge City en-
ioyed rare treat in the four artists
concert at the Opera House Friday
evening. This was one of the finest
concerts ever listened to in this city.
It was the second number Of the Ly-
ceum Course and was far superior to
anything they have before offered the
Dodge City patronage. The mem
bers Of the company we're true ar
lists, all Of them, and rendered a
program Of classic and popular num-
bers happily selected. That they
were appreciated is manifest from
the fact that every number was en-.
cored, some Of them for two and three
responses,
Prof. Pfouts, the violinist, seemed
the especial fayorite and had to pay
for his popularity with several extra
numbers. He combined rich tone
with smoothness Of execution that
is rarely excelled. Prof. Carr, the
dramatic artist, gave his numbers in
a full heavy basso and was generous
with encores that were catchy and
bright. Mr.. Schonert, pianist, dis
play Q masters technic especially in
his octave work. The sopranist was
also very good.

As business investment, the man
who owns q vacant lot in the business
part Of Dodge City or who owns one
with a frame building on it, is losing
money on it every day by not improv-

BOOSTERS OR ClPHERS7

There is some encouragement for
Dodge City in the way q great many
Of her citizens feel regarding q spir--
tied campaign in town boosting.
The article in last weeks Globe Re
publican for the organization OF a
Booster Club for Dodge City has re-
ceived the commendation Of a mum
Der OF active business men, as has
been learned by the writer in talking
to them personally. There is a
world Of grit, and ginger in the
make up Of the people Of this town.
Put it in working order, turn it loose
with organized effort and Dodge
City will be the envy Of the surround
ing towns. The people Of Dodge
City have an old time reputation OF
getting what they 60 after. Ihe
town is in favor generally. Outsid-
ers like to come here. With the ~" :
organized into an active Booster
Club hundreds Of things would be
done however that have not been
done in late years. We have Com
mercial club, that while it has not
been active of late has members that
are valuable to the town. They have
always been equal to emergencies.
There are many little things always
which they have not time to look
after which could be looked after by
a paid secretary. Many OF the mem
bers have given a great deal Of work
to public enterprises and they no
doubt will again. A patriotic public
spirited man can no more help work
ing for the good Of his town than he
can help working for his personal
friends or his family. To succeed to
the highest point, though we must
have more and more workers, and
still more until we have no more
material to draw from. There are
fifty, at least, bright young men in
Dodge City who have never shown
any interest in public affairs. They
have not developed any town spirit.
They have not had their town pride
ar oused. They ought to be boosters
instead Of town ciphers. They will
be good men for the town if we work
hard enough to get them oaganized.
Such talent is going to waste in
Dodge City, actually getting effected
with the dry rot. Let's use it to
build larger town with.
Do you want to, or had you rather
hire an engineer and have the town
re-platted and turned into cemetery.
