If such has been the fatal end of the
oppressors of Israel, let it serve as
warning to those who would press the
bitter cup of sorrow to the lips OF the
Jew. Let the slanderers and revilers OF

draws himself up to his full height and
breathes deep the air of freedom. Under

Completion of the state highway

UNITED EFFoRT.

We notice that thru the Farming
ton Tmes-Hustler the people of the
Pennington section are getting busy
and making strong effort to build
up their commercial organization,
that the interests of Pennington and
the San Juan basin may be better
cared for.
The Times Hustler says that "The
Durango Exchange is doing good
work for the town and the whole
San Juan basin" This is certainly
true and is recognized thruout the
states of Colorado and New Mexico.
Well do successful communities real
ize the value of organization. Well
do they know that in union there is
strength.
Let all the communities of the San
Juan basin organize in some form or
other and then let all these organiza
tions work in harmony. We are not
in favor of any boom, since booms
are detrimental to any community
There is plenty of legitimate work
to be accomplished and the steady de-
velopment of the resources all around
us is the end for which we are all
striving. 1t is true that no matter
what action we take development is
sure to come. The question for us
to consider is the time. When ma
ture has done her part Why should
we waltz. There is no use of this
generation turning this important
matter over to the next generation
since they will have plenty of bust
ness particularly their own to look
after.

PRoGREssIvEIsM.

We would define progress as con-
tinual advancement along sane, con-
servative lines, and if the correct
ness of such definition be conceded.
the Durango Herald claims the right
TO be classified as progressive, but
il progress means the advocacy OF
the adoption Of each new. untried
heresy, born upon the sea of political
unrest, and fathered by the spirit
or anarchy, then indeed, the Herald
is not progressive.
We have become SO accustomed to
consider progressivism in the light of
a particular brand of practical poll
tics, that we sometimes overlook the
broader and better meaning of the
word. AS matter of fact, man, or
an institution, or community is pro-
to what particular doctrines he or
it or they may subscribe, but ac-
cordin4 to whether the actions taken
make for the beterment of mankind
The progressive man is the man who
looks forward, who helps somebody in
the world besides himself, and who
can see the silver lining Of future
prosperity to the present cloud OF
business stagnation, who apprecia-
tes the fact that the snow will melt
and the grass and flowers will come
forth again, who believes that Goo
is still in His heaven. and all is well
with the world.
