A party who is known, was seer to
take the young fox terrier belonging
to Mrs. M. Law upon the trolley car
recently. If she will return the dog
to Mrs. Law at Ocean Heights Green
house within a week nothing will be
done, otherwise a prosecution will be
commenced.

As The Editor Sees It

There are many things we could
do, and ought to do, for the good of
Pleasantville and vicinity. There are
many things which, if we would do
them, would give US a better town
and a better community. For in
stance
W. might improve and enlarge and
broaden our educational system. What
we have is good, but it could be made
better and more productive of graft
flying results. We might have better
and more sanitary buildings. We
might give greater care in the train
ing of our children for the battles
of life, as we'll as the implanting of
purely educational knowledge. We
might see that the bodies of our chill
dren are exercised, and strengthened,
and developed in a more scientific
manner in addition to their intellects.
We might give greater moral and
material support to superintendent
and teachers, instead of the meagre
and half Indifferent support that is
accorded them now. We might do
these things, and if we did we would
have children developing into more
intellectual and powerful men and
women of the future, and it would be
o,ooJ f1r +Ia oap,po1pitU
Il
We might encourage each citizen
to be more loyal to local interests,
and more considerate of each other.
You can break a pipe stem with your
fingers without difficulty, but it takes
an axe or a saw to bring down a tree.
And yet time was when the tree was
no bigger or stronger than the stem
of the pipe. Its strength omes from
constant growth and development,
just as we as a community would
grow and develop if we could only
make up our minds to stick together.
We ought to do it, for our own indi-
vidual good and for that of the COM
munity as a whole. But loyalty to
home interests must be the first and
most vital step in our advancement
along the road to local prosperity.
Without the first step no others can
be taken.
We might encourage our women to
take more active interest in the af-
fairs of PIeasantville and vicinity.
The day is past when women are sup
posed to have no minds above dress
or the wash tub. Today they are rec
ognized universally as the mental
equal of men in practically every
sphere of life. In many respects the

average woman is unquestionably our
superior. There then would seem no
valid reason why she should not have
an equal voice in civic as we'll as do
nestle affairs. Certain it is that if
we could inject the strong and splen-
did personality of our womanhood in
to municipal affairs we would in time
come to see a vast and wonderful i'm
provement in local conditions. We
need their aid, their advice, their as
sistance, and some day we will have
it to our everlasting joy.
Il
We might try the experiment of
indulging in praise and commenda-
ton instead of fault finding and crit
icism. By commencing that which is
good in our midst we might uncon-
sciously stimulate a desire in u own
minds to improve that which is not
so good, in order that it, too, might
be commended and praised. The
bitterest and most nauseating pill is
rendered pleasant and agreeable by
a little coating of sugar, and it might
be even so with the rough spots in
our daily existence. Every great
ending has had its origin in a small
beginning, and a few humble words
of praise might produce results where
hours of abuse would fall upon deaf
ears.
q
We might keep right on agitating
for better streets until we get them.
Not only agitate ourselves, but induce
our neighbors and friends to do like
wise and pass the good work along
to their friends, too. If we all agi-
tated and insisted and kept on at it
we in time would get what we want,
and what is needed in his community.
We might do this with lasting adj
vantage to every resident.
Il
We might inaugurate a question
campaign. We might ask everyone
we meet what can be done to improve
local conditions. We might ask them
to do the same with others, and keep
on asking and absorbing a knowledge
of conditions until not a subject re-
mains undissected. We might do
this with infinite advantage to every
one concerned, for it would serve to
bring into the limelight those defects
which are retarding our commercial
growth and enable US to advance on
ward to ever more desirable and prof
table conditions in the future.
