WHEN YOU DIE.

The Commercial Appeal editor
beats Us 20 il with the following
editorial squib, which is apropos
of the situation In Hickman, as
every pubhc-spirited citizen will
agree:
There are some people in
Memphis who act upon the prin-
eiple that they are going to take
something away from this earth
when they die Some of them are
benefleiaI-ies of every civic m-
dertaking, and yet they refuse TO
bear a hap1 in the preliminary ex-
pense. Usat sort of a spirit will
never prosper a city. There are
certain citizens of Memphis who
should either come in and be
partners in the life of the city,
or they should get out of the
town and stay out of town. They
make their money out of the
people of Memphis, and they
make lots of IT, and yet whenever
they are asked 10 give up a mite
of this money they immediately
run to cover"
