ALL progressive citizens O.

ALL progressive citizens of
the state are indebted to the
Milwaukee Journal for the splen-
did campaign of publicity that it
is carrying on. This newspaper
should be in every home in the
state, not alone because it is in
dependent, but because it is a
good newspaper. Last weeks
issue contained nearly all of the
LaFollette speech which was de-
livered at st. Paul on Saturday
evening. The speech is a notable
one and should be printed in
phamphlet form so that it might
reach all Wisconsin voters at
least. The Milwaukee Journal
is being made the subject of a
great deal of solicitude on the
part of opponents of LaFollette.
It is charged with being his per-
sOnal organ. and We do not know
how many other things. We do
not care continental, whether
it is an organ of LaFollette or
not, but we do know that it gives
him square deal. That he gets
credit for what he doc d what
he says.
The man who could run a news
paper to suit everybody, went to
heaven long ago.
When you see a banana peel
resting on the side walk and fat
man unconsciously approaching it,
the indications point to an early fall.
The kickers and croakers have
no place in citywith the push and
progressiveness of our town. The
man who opposes needed public i'm
provements and stands in the way
of progress is not good citizen.
Learned men tell US that in
Latin the word editor means
something TO eat. In the United
States it's meaning is altogether
different. 1t means to scratch
around like blazes to get sometime
to eat.

There is no way of improving a
place so much as by encouraging
good merchants. good schools and
good people to settle among you,
and this cannot be done unless you
spend your money at home.
Don't croak. Leave that to frogs
in stagnant pools. A few croakers
though are necessary in every COM
munity to measure the rate of pro-
gress at which live men are adyanc-
ing.
The following is very truthful
remark: "The man who grows up
in his native town is regarded as a
boy by his elders until he is well
started the declivity of life that ends
in hole. The stranger who comes
into place is more often pushed to
the front than the young who has
grown up with the town. This is
the reason why so many young men
become dissatisfied with their home
surroundings and long to cast their
lot in other quarters.
If you are kicker and see the
shadows of failure in everything thai
is proposed to help the town, for
heaven S sake go into some secluded
canyon and kick your own shadow on
the clay bank, and give the men who
are working to build up the town a
chance. One long-faced, hollow-eyed,
whining, Gaping, chronic kicker can
do more to keep away business and
capital from a town than all the
drouths, short crops, chinch bugs,
cyclones and billiards. combined.
