AA rowN,s REsr Asser.g

The progressive citizens OF Paw

auspices .0f the local chamber OF
commerce, an enthusiastic meeting.
the subject of which was to secure
combination Of effort and energy in
advertising TO the world the adyant-
aBas the town has 10 offer to QUO
side capital and enterprise seeking
investment and location. Noting the
event the Pawnee Courier empha-
s'zes one thought given utteranee
by the priacipal speaker Of the oc.
casion. The best asset OF town IS
It's men After all says the
Courier the progress Of any com
munity depends upon the quality Of
Us citizenship.
This is truth which can not be
stressed too strongly. But it Is I0i
enough that the better and progress
slve element OF a community should
constitute the majority OF its citizen
ship. No less essential is it that the
individuals composing that element
shall insist that the same reasons
which rule their consciences in pri-
vale aud business matters shall also
control in governmental affairs A
citizen may be strictly upright IN
daily walk. honest and progressive
IN business rotations, and still fall
far short OF measuring up to the OBJ
legations Of either civic duty or per-
sonal and public interest 1t is right
eousness that exalteth a city, and
the measure of city's righteous
ness In the eyes Of the outside word
Is the character OF the government
which It maintairs. The really pro
grssive citizen is he who Is as fer
vent In action and as dlligent In spir
1t to ensure honest capable and econ
omiCal administration of public at
fairs as to promote the material de-
yelopment II the community in which
he resides; and the truly progressive
city is that the majority of whose
citizens are OF this class. A nun
icipal government cleanly, honestly
efficiently and economically admin
islered Is the best advertisement any
city can have and will avail more
to promote development along ma
terial lines, by attracting outside In
vestment and er terprise, than any
boosting that any number OF com
nerclal organizations could do. The
latter Is, OF course. important anS
necessary, but, .fter all, it Is onl.
secondary and supplemental THE
former Is primary and essential "A
towns best asset is" indeed, eiu
nleh;' but the ultimate value iol
that asset must and does depend
upon the manner in which and tn,
extent to which the male citizenship
live up to their civic duties and OBJ
