IT took a column of space in the
Every Evening to formulate an
argument against the dupont
boulevard on Wednesday of this
week, and when printed the type
either made so many false state
ments, that even the honest op-
ponent who has read the act incor-
porating, or authorizing the incor-
porating of the company, smile at
the plain attempt to mislead, by
stating that the balance of the right
of-way not used for the public
travel by vehicles, could be divided
up into building lots the entire
distance. This is a false premise
by the writer of the Every Even
ings editorial, but a little thing
like that does not count with that
paper. Every person who has
read the act permitting the incor
poration of the Boulevard Com
pany, knows that no part of the
right-ofway can be used for any
other purpose than for public
utility. That is one thing which
caused the smile of discredit to the
statement Of the Every Evening
Mr.. dupont has never stated what
he hoped to do with the right-Of-
way granted to the company, but a
few intimate friends have had from
1im that it was his intention to turn
over any revenues which might
lrise from this source, to either
/ maintaince fund for the upkeep
If the boulevard, or to have the

Do you know there's lots O. people

Growlin' like broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind o cattle,
Cause they amt no use on earth,
You just be a booster rooster,

If your town needs boostin', boost 'er
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellows willin -
Sail right in, this country's free.
No ones got a mortgage on it,
It's yours as much as his,
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boOstin' biz.
If things just don't seem to suit you
And the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a-boostin'
Just to help the thing along?
Cause if things should stop agOin
We'd be in a sorry plight;
You just keep that horn ablowin'-
Boost 'er up with all your might.
If you know some feller's failin's,
Just forget 'em, cause you know
That some feller's got some good points
Them's the ones you want to show.
Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They'll come backs a sayin' true,
Mebbe, too, they'l come back 'buttered'
When some feller boosts for you.
