Let's STOP and mink .


If we stop and, think we can
readily see that the community
that pulls together will do more
and accomplish better results
than the one that is always divi-
ded.
By working together and pro-
duciug the greatest amount of
marketable products, and market
ing them to the best advantage
and at the least expense, we will
have greater profits in the COM
munity than we would otherwise
receive.
And by buying our goods from
our local merchants and from one
another. instead of sending away
for them, we are constantly in
creasiug the wealth of the COM
munity and the resultant prosper
ity of each individual.
When much money comes into
the community and only a portion
of it goes out again the surplus
at home will grow, and grow, and
grow. until it becomes veritaLle
Eden of wealth.
Let's do a little thinking.

About Railroad Claims.

Mr.. G. E. Whitelam, superin-
tendent freight loss and claims OF
the Frisco. has issued a very in
terestiug circular concerning the
work in his department. Mr.
Geo, Taggart of this city is a
member of the Car Department OF
the committee mentioned. The
circular follows:
TN a circular issued to our pa
irons under date of August Bird,
attention was called to the fact
that one of the principal features
of this department is to remove
the causes for loss and damage
freight claims. And it was ex-
pected that good results would be
brought about in this respect
through the fourteen Freight
Claim Preventive Committees
that have been organized on the
various divisions and terminals.
'These committees are COM
posed of members representing
the various crafts in railroad SER
vice who have to do with the
handling of freight, and they
gone into the work very enthusi-
astically with the result that
claim prevention has been well set
forth to the $4,000 or more en-
ployes that handle freight on this
railroad. A great many sugges-
tons pertinent to the various
causes leading to loss and dam.
age, have been received and put
into effect. AS a consequence OF
the good work that has been done
| in this direction, there has been
brought about a large reduction
in the number of claims received
from our patrons, also a material
decrease in our claim payments.
Another feature on which we
are specializing is prompt claim
adjustment. You will no doubt
be surprised to learn that our re-
cords show that we dispose OF 81
per cent. of the claims received
within 80 days. We have been
able to make this good showing
by reason of our o. S. & D. sys-
tenn through which all loss and
damage matters are investigated
promptly so that our liability or
non-liability is established before
claims are received. In this re-
spect, our records show that we
have files covering investigation
on 20 per cent of the claims at the
time they are received.
"The two above features OF this
department are the most impor-
tant and we give every attention
toward specializing on same, re-
alizing that less loss and damage
claims, and prompt adjustment OF
those that are filed, means better
satisfied patrons.
I'm this connection will add
that anything you can do toward
improving the marking or pack
ing of the freight rendered US for
shipment, or in properly support.
ing claims you file, will be great
ly appreciated, and assist very
materially in improving our SER
vice. Shall always be glad to
receive any suggestion you may
have to offer and give them care
full consideration"

Let u Be Honest.

There are two logical arguments
that can be urged in support of the
saloon, aud just two. We want a
handy and convenient place to get Ii
quor to drink. That's one. We want
to make money out of it. That is,
we want to engage in the traffic or
seek employment in 1t, or we have
some old rOOkeries of buildings that
we want to sell or rent to the sa-
looms or their red-light accessories.
That's the other one. And isn't it
queer that neither one of these rea-
SONS is ever given? The half million
dollars the liquor selling combine is
spending to teach the people how
to vote, and that has bought papers,
debauched officials. and flooded the
country with lying literature, has not
brought out either of these reasons.
What can you think of cause that
will not look you straight in the
eyes and tell the truth? Has dec
ent society any place for liars II
you are. honest with yourself, yo
know that the saloon does not put
up one honest. truthful argument.
Why listen to their false pleas?

SUGGEST PAVING
OF FIFTH STREET

A movement to pave Fifth Street
from Front to West Main was dis
cussed informally by the City Coun-
Gil Friday night and was favored
unanimously, provided the property
owners agree. A petition
to carry out the plan is now
being circulated among the property
holders.
1t was suggested that paving be
laid full width from Front to
Grover Street, and twenty feet
wide in the center from Grover to
West Main Street with five-foot ce-
ment walks on both sides. One pro-
posal that was discussed was the
narrowing of Fifth Street to sixty
feet from Grover to West Main, the
twenty feet thus vacated to be laid
out in lawns and parking strips.

Some Pertinent Questinos.

What do you think of a concern,
paying taxes on slightly more than
the sewing machines in the state
that puts up half million dollars to
defeat a measure initiated by the
people? Why does it do it? Why
does it spend more in one campaign
trying to deceive the voters than it
would pay in taxes in twenty years?
Where does it get that huge sum of
money? Who wears thin and ragg-
ed clothes? Who goes to bed supp
erless? Who bends over the wash
tub. that we may be instructed how
not to vote? Honestly now. don't
you think that combine that
spends so many thousands to bribe,
cajole and deceive the voters may be
dangerous menace to clean So
ciety and honest government? Don't
you think that vote for Initiative
Measure No. 3 would be mighty well
placed? w. f.
