Every enterprising man Is help
to his town. The more money he
makes, if he uses it, the better for
the community; a place cannot
build itself up without him and a
wide awake growing town is bene-
fit to the surrounding country.
Hence it is to the advantage of all
to encourage enterprising men in
all walks of life, and frown upon
the efforts of the petty, envious in
dividuals who are ever ready to
thrust more enterprlsing men IN the
back on the slightest provocalior
in an attempt to injure them anC
their usefulness. .-Ex.

During the regular session of the
Legislature which lasted four months
there were Ills bills introduced =
$40 in the senate and 539 in the
house. Of this number only $50
were enacted into laws. 1t cost the
state pretty close to 5000, 900 for
these $50 laws or about $3.50 pei

not difficult to understand why

Rumor Has 1t He Will Succeed d. J.
Hill in Germany.

Society at our national capital is
much interested over the report that
Congressman Nicholas Longworth is
slated to succeed David Jayne Hill as
ambassador to Germany 1t is the opin-
ion there that the appointment would
be acceptable to Germany, because of
the friendship that exists between EN-
peror William and former President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Longworth, being
wealthy, could entertain in the style
that the German people have been ac-
customed to see from the representative
OF the United States in Berlin, and
Mrs. Longworth, being charming
hostess, would make such an appoint.
ment an agreeable one. Mrs. Long
worth is quoted as having stated she
would like very much for such an ap-
polntment to be given Mr.. Longworth.
