Would Keep Sweet.

Some correspondents have favored
us with a number of more or less
clever comments on State politics and
officials and the biennial mudsling
ing junket euphemistically dubbed the
campaign, but we don't intend to
in even tolerable good humor IL we
have to fool with a maladorous sub
iect like state politics; with rare ex-
ceptions we never have fooled with
the critter. and we do not purpose to
begin now.-The State.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. FOR
CHESTER.

We wish to commend the action
OF number of progressive citizens
OF Chester who are trying to organ
ize a Chamber of Commerce for their
town. Chester has advantages OF
situation. railroad facilities and a
large territory from which to draw
trade and yet has not made the pro-
gress that such town should be
expected to make. But when we
realize that Chester has had no com
mercial organization the wonder is
that matters are not worse. Certain
it is they will never be better with
out a trade body of some kind to
help conditions over there.
The Chester Reporter takes the
same view of the matter as does the
Lancaster News and draws from the
recent development of Lancaster an
object lesson which should inspire
the people If Chester to "go and do
likewise" The Reporters editorial
on this subject so exactly describes
improved conditions here that we
quote it in full as follows:
There are numbers or people who
profess to believe that the Chamber
of Commerce will be able to do very
little for Chester. If they count as
results only the location of new man.
ufacturing plants here ii is not pro-
bable that much will be accomplish
ed at once: but If the existence of an
organization that will be in position
to push the community's claims In
all matters that come up for consid-
Grafton where this community is
vying with other communities that
are having their claims presented
ably and vigorously is anything, the
Chamber of Commerce will mean
much, and by and by will. we be-
lieve. succeed in arousing what is so
sadly needed here--community s~'r.
II. We have just glanced over the
annual report of the Lancaster Cham
ber OF Commerce. and the record Of
accomplishment is. indeed. most Gre
ditable. So far as we have heard
Lancaster has landed no great new
manufacturing enterprises lately:
but. notwithstanding this fact. the
town has had sound and thorough
d"dhehiuS, anu from DelnS one OF
the backward communities of the
state has been converted into as
hustling and live a community of
the size as can be found. The streets
and sidewalks have been paved.
handsome new business buildings
have been constructed, and the town
has been advertised in various and
sundry ways. Due recognition has
also been had of the fact that this
Is an agricultural section. and much
OF what has been undertaken has not
been undertaken for the DEVELOPMENT
OF the town alone. but for the entire
county. which should be the aim and
purpose OF every Chamber of Com
merce. The one great thing that this
particular Chamber OF Commerce has
done-its great outstanding achieve
ment-is the new spirit that IL seems
10 have instilled into the people OF
Lancaster spirit that has acceI-
Grated progress in no uncertain man
ner and changed the town from a
Tagging. backward community into a
little city that is distinguished for its
rheTSy and get-up and is going to get
IT'S tull share of the good things that
are going.

One evening when she returned 10

"Tonight," said Molly, thinking to

"It's hard to explain, but it's some

OLD AND NEW SWIMMING HOLE
That of the Present Day Cannot oblit-
crate Grandfathers Memories Of
His Youth.

Memory goes tracking back through
the years to the old swimming hole.
This one was on the current side" of
great river, and the nadir of one of
its majestic bends. Huge elm and oak
trees grew on the bank and shaded
waters whose limpid depths held such
delights as nowhere else have been
experienced. The smooth rock bottom
Of the river was ever washed clean,
while the white sand of the bit of
beach along the shore was firm and
grateful to the foot. This ideal spot
was not easy to access but the enter
prising youth Of the village found am
pie recompense in its joys for any ex-
ertion, even on the hottest day, re-
quired to reach it. Those who swan
there, now grown gray, look at the
homes that have invaded their happy
land with some thoughts of sorrow.
The old swimming hole is only a
cherished memory, remarks the Omaha
Bee. Its wonderful freedom, in all
ways appreciated by healthy boy,
is contrasted with. the modern swim
ming hole, provided by a great city,
mindful of the needs of it's growing
citizens. In this case it is huge
tank, set on the slope of one Of the
fine hills in city park, surrounded
by beautiful trees, a well kept lawn,
and provided with all the ap-
purtenances needful to the complete
enjoyment of the boldest swimmer or
most graceful or daring diver. 1t Is a
wonderful pool and the shouts Of glee
that come up from its surface these
hot evenings testify most forcefully
to the appreciation Of old and young
of privilege.
The new swimming hole Is typical
of the newer life into which the race
is merging its existence the urban
rather than the rural. 1t Is a regular
step in the orderly progress Of mans
evolution, but its well appointed and
equally regulated delights will never
take the place Of that splendid swim
ming hole nature provided for the use
Of boys, many Of whom are now grand
fathers.
