FACTIONS NOT NECESSARILY FATAL

We read and hear q great deal these
days ~ To the influence OF factionalism
in retarding the growth OF a town
And while IL Ia true that many towns
are held back from a pronounced and
gratifying growth by the factioual
lights within their confines. 1t is not al
psys the case, o Is II inevitable.
You have doubtless heard citizens OF
more than M town remark mo use
TO start anything for this town it di-
ri6es on all questions and the fac
lions start fighting each other. and as
consequence nothing 10 done"
This state Of Affairs is common to
many towns. Factions do exist, and
DO fight each other. But still there
10 way around this II the citizens Of
. own can be brought to see things In
,beir true light, and will oil agree to
bss . little Of the common sense with
which Providence has endowed them.
We must recognize the fact that there
are factions in all towns. Nevershe-
less. not all towns permit thsse fac
tional fights 10 retard their prosperity.
The reason for this is that the citizens
Of these towns have the ems to real
ire that prosperity for the town meaus
prosperity for all In the town.
Let US take m example;
A proposition 10 up to secure some in
dustry for your town. It is something
shat may possibly not directly Affect
bot . small proportion OF the popula-
tion. Pcssibly that small element may
al belong to n Of the warning fac
lions. Is that any reason why the 9TH
ers should oppose it. Decidedly not.
Every citizen who has the real prosper
jty Of the town at heart will at uhce
realize that a direct benefit to the
sown 10 an indirect benefit to himself I;
md, while doing all he can for the sue
sess OF his own crowd. will not carry
his efforts to the extent OF depriving
the town OF a tangible asset.
And therein lies the keynote to the
success OF many towns, regardless of
The fact that they are as badly divided

Sand is not so dear as sugar or

Light for the Poles.


The kaiser is talking freedom to the
Poles, urging upon them the benefit
Of German effort and influence and
trying to explain that this is so much
better than the free nation that Rus
STA proposed early in the war. That
is one side of the story; the other Is

twenty men and thirty girls for same

are not permitted to change masters
or to move from place to place with
out government authorization. With
such authorization, however, the mas
ters can make exchanges as we swop
horses and mules Or as our house
wives exchange soap grease for soap,
or old rags for door mats, kitchen
