Assemble, Compare Local Advantages

Far as PracticabIe-Treat Town as
You Would Your Own Business.

To promote successfully and solve
the problem Of local development each
n must consider it as he would his
individual business, says w. Chum,
editor Of Town Development. What
would it profit a manufacturer to
erect a modern plant, equipped with
the best up to date machinery and
producing the best Of q needed prod
uct, if he stored it in his warehouse
and let it go at that?
The community has something to
sell, vacant building lots for houses,
stores, warehouses or Industrial plants
or similar plants for rent or sale;
merchants and manufacturers to be
p%atronized and professional citizens to
consult and a destiny to determine.
The shelves of the local wareroom are
filed with the commodity called local
advantages. Is this stock covered
with the dust of years or hidden by a
curtain of cobwebs, and have its own
ers forgotten their warehouse and its
| salable contents?
In these modern days of keen civic
competition the handle of the big
front door of that warehouse must be
| polished and the dust and cobwebs
banished and the world advised of the
quality, nature and utility Of these
wares by advertising and exploiting
them as we do in private business,
for what is true of it is equally and in
greater degree true of the commune

operation neither can thrive; hence
the campaign Of local promotion and
development is no longer optional.
There are three essentials to menta,
activity-frst, to interest; second, tc
convince; third, to force action. Every
citizen worthy the name is interested
and it is comparatively easy to con

has to ford it with his companion on bis

causes made his defeat inevitable,
without the machine. But Mr.. Ed
wards for Lieutenant Governor and Mr
Laffoon for Auditor had ample oppor
tuaity for testing Its working quail
ties. Senator Blackburn came back 10

and power of that machine. He de
clared IL was here and at work He
detained against its danger to good
government II was on that ground
that he contested the nomination of
Mr.. McCreary and those elected by his
machine for places on the State ticket.
The warnings seem to have had the
contrary effect from that intended. IL
was hoped to arouse the voters In the
Democratic party to sense of party
peril, as we'll as danger to the State.
The voters, however, had found by
long and bitter experience. that q
fight against the machine, with the
machine conducting the election, was
a hopeless task. Hence they stayed
away from the election. Only about
thirty per cent of the Democrats OF
the State participated In the primary,

than twenty-five per cent voted.
A party machine is more than a
name. Its existence can not be deter
mined merely upon assertion. 1t i'm
plies a number of persons in power in
office, State or party offices, who by
virtue of their power and influence
can control and do control the party's
action. more or less regardless of the
will of its voters. A party machine Is
essentially a body of men welding Of
fetal power in the party, and who
stand together for the common end,
to-wit, the perpetuation of those men
or their friends in office. The State
Democratic Committee is alleged by
many Democrats, and believed by
many others, to be such a machine.
1t is a well-organized body. Its choice
for Governor won because he was its
choice. Otherwise he would have done
precisely as all the others did who
started to get into the race Except
Addams). His committee called the
