The newcomers Of town and those
Of FESTIVE natures often wonder why
moro things have not been done and

comparison of small places with large

the eternal harping upon "what ought

Of them made wonderful contributions
ITO human progress or race development
but it is to the very favored few, to
those upon whom the gods have smiled
most feeingly, that this can be said;
for the most part we do little but take
our place in the ranks, wove when the
mass moves, mark time or halt when
the body gives signs of stopping or of
merely being in motion without prog
ressing.
Few men are perfectly satisfied with
conditions and those in the past had
the same feeling of unrest as we now
are troubled with, only there was more
control exhibited. Some people mis-
take chronic grouehes and ingrownasty
dispositions for the surge of uplife; a
flow of words and loud complaining
seeming to them to settle conditions. It
takes long hours, hard work, concerted
action andl an esprit de corps to
change things, then the change comes
gradually and suffers from danger of
sudden relapse.
It is the genus who does the wonder
full and the admirable, most Of US are
grubs, following paths Of least resis-
lance; the difference between the doer
and the complainer is that the kicker
has the 1oudest voice generally and can
| stir up most discomfort.
! What the one must admit is the fact
that the older men usually had finer
friendship with the men Of other races
than the young fellows car now boast
Of with their contemporaries There
! were the struggles Of families to live
often the still numb sensibilities from
the cruel days Of slavery. IF we look
