GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUBS.
In Many Ways They Conduce to the Plies
perity of a Town.
In many towns throughout our land
there have been established clubs whose
aim is to s9p that the best 'interests ' of
their respective communities shall not
be sacrificed to individual or party ells.
They arc always composed of the best
and most progressive men and usually
are entirely nonpolitical From variau
causes it sometimes happens that t : :
worthy men are elected to positioi. : ; : f
honor and trust , and they , g1ectful of
the confidence reposed in theni , sea :
profit themselves or the clique they rcl
resent regardless of the duty they owe
to their fellow citizens.
In so deplorable a state of affairs a
good government club can be of the
greatest value to the community. its
mere existence has the effect of putting
a damper on dishonest practices and of
keeping the management of town matters -
ters strictly on a business basis.
In the expenditure of public money
there are various ways in which it may
be in part diverted from the purposes
intended. Laying out parks , building
and repairing streets and sidewalks ,
sewers , public buildings and all public
improvements afford opportunities for
those who are not averse to making an
"honest" dollar out of the public treas-
ury. But with a well organized good
government club always on the alert to
see that every cent expended brings a
return in results obtained there is small
opportunity for defrauding the people.
A good government club is desirable
also because it acts as a brake on extravagance -
travagance and the unwise use of public
funds. A town is often burdened with
debt through the injudicious policy of
honest but shortsighted officials , whose
enthusiasm is greater than their jucdg-
meut. The knowledge that an intelligent -
gent body of men will weigh with calm
and clear decisioh every act is certain
to have a most salutary effect.
It is not only the privilege but the
duty of taxpayers and those who hope
to become taxpayers to thoroughly acquaint -
quaint themselves with public affairs to
the end that unwise or dishonest men
may not bring discredit on the community -
munity and to insure that the people's
money shall be so spent as to benefit the
people and the town and confer the
greatest good on the greatest number.
ADVERTISING A TOWN.
Simple and Effective Way of Telling the
World You Are Alive.
Business firms that are progressive in
these days advertise their business.
Those who do not remain uukiowil and
eventually cease to exist. Buyers must
be informed where goods are on sale.
Sellers must look for the purchaser , and
he expects them to.
Unquestionably the advertising of a
town or city furnishes a splendid medium -
dium for acquainting the outside world
of its individual business enterprise.
Advertising a town is a most effective
way of calling attention to the wares of
its business men , because those who
visit the town will easily find out what
its merchants have to sell
One of the great cities of the Atlantio
seaboard has recently formed a trades
league , and this organization is now
jealously at work calling the attention
of the country to the many advantages
their city offers. One of the latest methods - /
ods adopted by the league is for each.
member to have printed on its letter
heads and envelopes a list of the attractions -
tions of thecity , its population , itsbusi-
ness facilities in the way of railroads
and water transportation , its buildings ,
schools , parks , death rate , market territory -
tory and system , churches and their denominations -
nominations , industrial arts and manu
factures , also tax rates , water rates ,
costs of rent and living.
This is a cheap and effective way of
telling the business world that their city
amounts to something , and that its residents -
dents invite strangers to come and see
and buy. This plan can be profitably
worked in any town , and in no other
way can so much be accomplished at so
small an outlay. The newspapers of the
town should also be placed in the hotels
of the cities and towns of sections of
the country that are likely in no other
way to know of Its advantages. Books
of the town ma { be put in railway depots -
pots , hotels anti public libraries of adjacent -
jacent and faraway towns and cities. 1
Known of All Men.
There is a class of citizens known to
every community whose members are
veritable human sponges , in that they
absorb evdrything and give nothing out
of their own volition. They are usually
rich by reason of inherited wealth anti
detestable penuriousness. The rain of
heaven falls upon them as upon the
just. They receive h , however , without
enjoyment. It' is grievously aggravating
at times to see these parasites upon the
body politic seemingly prosper , but they
serve their purpose. They inculcate the
cheerful lesson that existence is not life.
Their money commands a certain
amount of deference , notwithstanding
which they are covertly hated by their
neighbors. They are an encumbrance w
upon the earth and occupy space that is
valuable. The soul seems to have become -
come incrusted and the sparkof life extinguished -
tinguished , yet they live on. It is pleasing -
ing to believe that in the economics of
nature their race is not increasing.
Money Well Expended.
If you cannot spend $1,000 a week in
advertising , spend $500. If you cannot
spend so much , spend $100 , and if your
business will not allow more than $10
to be so invested , spend that. Do not
say there is no use in advertising except
in a large way. One might as well say
that a 5 cent package of seeds from the
florist will not grow as well as the same
seed bought in bushel quantities. Have I
good seed and plant it in good so1L In
other words , write a good advertisement
and put it in a rood paper.-Pltiladel-
phia Ledger.
