Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-01-30

distant cities-we will have too much
pride by that time, pride in our home
town.
Let us help our own preachers and
not be so anxious to hand our money
out to carpet baggers fro mother places
much better able to help them than
we are.
Let us spend our money with the
fellow who is paying the taxes in
Boise--the fellow who is helping us TO
build up and maintain our schools,
our churches, our Commercial club and
other necessary institutions.
Let us resolve TO do a little public
improvement in Boise at this time
when there is but little private i'm
provement going on. Let us not wait
until there is a rush of employment on
all sides to force us into competition
with ourselves.
Let us not feel Jealous OF the fellow
who is a leader in trying to build up
our town. Let us thank God that we
have such men in our community
Let us get back of them and help and
encourage them to go ahead. Let us
give such men words of encouragement
and not stand around to shy bricks at
them.
Know One Another Better.
Let us cut out peanut politics and
get together for the upbuilding Of
Boise and Idaho. Let US elect to office
men who are capable and then help
them to make good
Let us meet in our club face to face
and talk over the things that are Of
vital interest to all of us. Let us
learn to know each other better. Let
us learn to have a decent respect for
each others opinions and convictions.
If we do this we will like each other
better and find many points at which
we can work in harmony.
Let us let the world know that we
know that our town is all right, and
that our state is all right.
Let MS tell the trouble maker and
the grumbler that we are too busy to
listen to their tale of woe. They will
then soon learn that this is not the
place for them and they will soon Join
the knockers club in some more con-
genial cline because there will be no
club for them to join here.
| Let us resolve to tell our newspa-
pers to tell the world at large less of
our faults and our troubles, but to
boost and tell the world of our good
things only.
Let us try and arouse a spirit Of
civic pride in our children in the
matter of keeping our city clean. Let
us not make it necessary for the
health officer to call attention to the
need of cleaning up once or twice a
year-let us keep clean all the year
around.
Flush City Streets.
Let us get our city council into the
habit of flushing our main streets
once or twice a week. 1t can be done
by the firemen in an hour or two in
the evenings. | know the men would
enjoy it because they would have the
satisfaction of knowing that they were
doing an important work in making
Boise a far better place in which to
live.
Let us resolve not to try to get rich
quick by arresting our best citizens "
they happen to get one wheel of an
automobile a few inches over the spot
in the center of the street when they
turn a corner.
Let us resolve to enforce our laws
in n sane and reasonable way and not
have a lot of people mad at us all the
time. Let us resolve 10 40 what we
do in this regard because it is right.
and not because we have a grudge to
satisfy.
Finally. let us forget our troubles for
one year and get together to the last
man for a bigger, better and happier
Boise.
If you say to me that have violated
the principle l limited at in the begin
ming; that | have suggested entirely
too many resolutions, my response is
that will be perfectly willing to have
you brush aside every one of my sug-
gestions and substitute in their place
the good old Golden Rule-do unto
others as YOU would like to have others
do unto you.
