A Booster Editorial.

There are two kinds OF rooteTs in
Cairo. One Is the perpetual booster
who will boost day after day with
out winding and the other is tho
periodical booster, who boosts 10
hear himself talk &ld practices what
he breaches only when he thinks Il
is to his best interest.
We heard periodical booster
praise Cairo from top to bottom,
pronounce it the best town in the
land and then turn right around aud
bay his winter supply OF clothes in
Chicago or St. Louis.
Cairo has too many periodical
boosters and in addition to this it
has an abundance of dyed-in-the-
wool knockers--people who don t
like Cairo and don't care darn
who knows it. We also have a nice
crowd Of perpetual boosters and
must depend upon them to convert
the periodical boosters and the dyed
in-the-wool knockers into regular
sure-enough boosters.
You can always judge towns flu
ture by the strength of it's bona ide
boosters. Ii the earnest and hard
working boosters are in majority
it is almost safe bet the town is
going ahead. The periodical boost
ers and knockers are a detriment to
growth and they must be converted
to the perpetual booster idea
The following poem, which was
clipped from a magazine by a
reader, is published here at his urg-
ent request.

good and will be enjoyed by the
boosters" he wrote. please give it

The laborers may be proficient in
the art OF killing time. but who
wouldn't be. after spending eight or
ten hours swinging a heavy pick or
hesvins a shovel? If you believe
the Greeks are not entitled to an oc-
casional rest, do the work for Eve or
ten minutes. About the only thing
we hold against the Greeks is their
discrimination to earn and take as
much money as they can out Of the
town and the country, but when il
comes to netting the pick and the
shovel we are decidedly for them.

WORLDS DEBT TO VEGETABLE
Possibly Sun Worship Had Its origin
in knowledge of the Fact OF
the Dependence.

Vegetable life may worry along
without animals, but animal life can
continue without vegetables. There
fore, says an English chemist, man
owes a great debt OF gratitude to the
vegetable. He should do his best 10
foster it. It Is not intimated whe her
this is an argument in favor OF the
theories advanced by the vegetarian.
but it is considered ample proof man
would not be here only for the num-
BILE vegetable kingdom.
But vegetables, like animate life'
are dependent upon sunlight for their
existence. The vegetable, however,
Is both the direct and the indirect
sustenance of animal being. Animal
life of certain species exists solely, or
almost so, on the flesh of other AMI
mails. But that latter food eventually
is dependent upon the vegetable.
Time would eradicate animate life
should inanimate cease to exist. The
relations between plant and animal
form beautiful dispensation. Man
owes to the vegetable more than he
does to lower animal life.
Thus concludes this chemist,
isn't it possible the sun worshipers
perhaps had greater realization OF
the value of Old Sol than we of the
present century,"

livinustone's Resourcefulness.

David Livingstone, explorer and mis-
sionary, was a man of varied accom-
plishments. Besides getting himself
taught on board ship and later by
Sir Thomas Maclear, to take with
great accuracy astronomical observa-
lions for fixing latitude and longitude,
besides acquainting himself with bot
any and geology, with patristic litera-
ture and Egyptology, Livingstone was
an excellent mechanic, steersman
and a mariner. His resourcefulness
was at all times remarkable. When
he was hard up for fuel on his first
steamer journey up the River Shire
he landed in the elephant marsh. Here
no trees existed and no fuel was OBJ
tainable, but his men found many
bones of slaughtered elephants, Liv-
ingstone at once took the bones on
board, burned them in the furnaces of
the Ma-robert, and SO continued his
journey.

A Despicable Weakness.

The public, has recently had
two glaring instances of the
weakness of public men who
would hide behind skirts to pro-
ject themselves from censure,
blame and punishment for their
own acts. Men who do so should
hardly be given credit for
smartness or even knowledge of
human nature, for the world
heartily and thoroughly despis-
es the man who would unload
his guilt upon others and partic-
ularly upon woman'S shout
ders..
Governor Sulzer allowed his
good wife to take upon herself
the expenditure of his campaign
money in market speculationS,
but all to no avail, for the people
did not believe her. They rec
ognized her unselfShnesS and
willingness to sacrifice her own
good name and their contempt
of Sulzer grew all the more, leav-
ing him in more pitiable plight
than that to which 4 knowledge
of the real facts had condemned
him.
In California, too, the convic-
ton of DiggS was made easier
for the government, because
the jury were not willing that
his sin and depravity should be
charged against a young wom-
an, though this had been the
whine and excuse of the defend
ant. And our laws too, need
changing to recognize and meet
this viewpoint, that has come
TO be more generally accepted.
We despise the man who pleads
that the woman Sinned and en-
ficed him. but we don't so far
enough under the law to make
the penalties equal against the
two.
