OPPOSING LOCAL PROGRESS

ln every town when public inn
provements are suggested there
are sure to be some people who
oppose. Some DO so because
tfpv are so constituted that they
set themselves against any move
meut no matter how commend
able IL may be-. But there are
others who oppose for the simple
reason that they do not believe
I'm progress. especially when it
costs something. They are con-
tent TO suffer inconvenience
rather than spend a cent for i'm
provements.
But one peculiar psychological
fact IS that when, as is bound to
be the cause sooner or later,
the various improvements become
an established fact many of those
who so bitterly fought their in
Productions are among the first
to sing their praises. and of them
would have their neighbors be-
lieve that they always favored
them. t. they only had, a lot
of Unnecessary expense and delay
would have been avoided in many
instances.
Ever citizen wishing the well
fare and progress Of his town will
earnestly favor all reasonable
improvements. These improve
ments. i'm some cases, may cost
considerable money, but real i'm
provements are true economy to
the taxpayer in the long run.
There is no expense and misfor-
fortune equal to that of i'll health
epidemic and death, and there
is no economy equal to that which
conserves the public health and
makes life happier, and that is
what most of the public improve
ments bring about, especially in
small cities where ancient and
unsanitary conditions have held
sway far too long.

4 BOOSTER

The booster is the biggest guy
that lives in any town; he's al
WAYS praising up the burg and
never runs it down; from early
morn till late at night, he's al
ways on the job, with CHEEKY
words and winning smile, from
him no mournful sob. He boosts
himself and fellowmen, he urges
them to hustle, and not to stand
and whine around, but get right
out and rustic; and makes the
welkin ring with joy, as business
pileth up and brings returns so
rich and full, to fill each plod-
ders cup. For he's the sport
that we all love, a good sweet
souled old jigger, and here's sue
cess and wealth to him and may
they both grow bigger.
