CIVIC BETTERMENT.

What fine thing it would be IL
every tourist that pays visit 10
Alexandria could be so favoraoly
Immersed with the neatness ana
attractiveness of the city and Its
streets, residences and business
places that they would carly away
with them the thought that it is
one of the most delightful places IN
all this broad land in which to re-
side.
With it's natural advantages OF
location, unsurpassed railroad IA
cilities and the beautiful Potomac
at it's Threshold, affording ample
TRANSPORTATION by both rail and
water, population made up of the
most delightfully."- hospitable people
of which the Southern country can
boast. within a short distance OF
the nations capital, what good rea-
son is there to prevent it from
being not only a good place IN
which to live, but in which to To-
cate business enterprises as we'll!
One reason why many have not
taken advantage of the opportuni-
ties to be found here is because
thev have not known OF them, in
our opinion, and we believe the rea-
son is well founded.
Men who have the best welfare
of the city at heart have said that
Alexandria residents are too self
centered-too much satisfied with
the city as it is-that they do not
care for the hustle and hustle which
new manufacturing enterprises
would bring, Does that mean
that we are asleep? That we
do not want to be aroused from our
slumbers? That we desire to have
the city continue to move along in
the same old-fashioned manner 1t
was conducted by our forefathers?
In sermon delivered in this city
by noted divine few months ago,
from the text found in the ninth
chapter of John and first verse,
"And Jesus entered and passed
through the speaker said that all
we know of Jericho was that Jesus
passed through because the people
were asleep.
Many times golden opportunities
are lost because people are not suf-
ticientlv awake and alert to take adj
vantage of them. They are asleep.
Let that not be said of us here in
Alexandria.
On the contrary let us nlets
known the possibilities tr@s his
toric old city. both - Eiace of
residence and as ore tue tinest la~
cations fot Jsiness enterprises ~
a. t-i6. "a be foaad IN the c9l.n-
Common Counc.l is to be
aiated .pon the action
/ recently took in regard to
ing certain sections. Of the
streets. That is highly COM
mendable 1t means civic better
ment, so far as the city's thorough
fares are concerned. Let the good
work continue until every street is
put in the proper condition. and
then let us see that they are kept
clean and presentable.
In many cities throughout the
country rule has been adopted by
its residents to say a good word for
their city in every letter which they
write 20 their friends, and thereby
aid in giving those who do not re-
side there good impression of
their town.
Let us not only speak of Alexan-
dria, but lend our influence in every
away possible toward civic better
ment along every line-and then
spare no effort to let others know
about it.

If you cannot go to war why,
plant a garden here at home, or let
some other person use that vacant
lot.
The Senator from Massachusetts,
has lodged several timely blows with
in the last few days both outside as
well as inside the senate chamber.
Has Mr.. Bryan been forgotten or
simply overlooked? There is said to
be no truth in the report that ne IS
to go into the business of raising
peace doves.
While Uncle Samuel is preparing to
help clean up Germany those of rs
who remain at home should join the
cleanup campaign here in Alexan-
dria. Let everybody lend hand in
helping to make the city more at
tractive.
Every man is conceded the right to
his own opinion in this country, but IN
times like the present there are GER
tain kinds of opinion that might bet
ter be kept in seclusion. We refer
in this instance to men of the class
which includes Senator'S La Toilette
and Stone The States Of Wisconsin
