The best way to build up n city is
for each and ovory man in it not to
Htrivo to rond and tear down. When
over a man in tlio town is doing woll
do not try to tear him down. All tho
residents of a town arc partnors not
opponents. In all lihollhood tho more
business done by your rival tho more
you will do. livery gentleman who
treats his customer honestly, courte
ously and fairly, will get his share,
and the more business that can bo se
cured by united eirort, tho better i
will be for all. When a town ceases to
grow it commences to die, and the
more tlio people try to kill oil" each
other in their business andgood name,
tho more rapidly will utter ruin conic
toall. Stand together fort liemlvance
tnent of ovory citizen I f a man shows
ability to prosper do not pull him back
with jealously or weigh him down
with cold indifference.
The suggestion of the editor or the
Kod Cloud Chief In regard to the Ini
tiative and referendum-last week has
our approval. The initiative law can
bo a big handicap if improperly frani
oil. Wo especially commend tin: editor
in his contention that it would behest
to require tio percent of tho voters to
sign a petition before it. is piesented
to tho people for their judgement, and
what wo like bettor Is the. suggestion
that those who really want any law to
bo enacted that they bo compelled to
go to tho county clerk's ouleo and sign
tho petition there. Tho history of pe
titions is that nine out of ten will sign
anything that comes along just so get
Tid of an enthusiast. Many men's
names will appear both for and again
st and it is not that they nroineonsist
but they do not want to bo bothered.
It is easier to sign than not. If one is
really in earnest and desires tho wel
fare of his country ho will not hosi
tate to make a little personal sacrifice
and show by his signature that he
means business. A law of this char
acter would shut out the cranks and
would be the means of saving the
Mate a great, deal of money and tor
moil. We believe in tlte initiative lint

down to suit the whims of every Tom'

Visit Your Schools
How many of our school children's
parents ever visit the schools or oven
know tho teachers when they nieot
them on the street? How many know
what their children are studying or
how thov are inoureHslnL'''' Is there
any of you who have a building to
make or a fence to build; a dress to
make; a house to paint, or whatever
the job may be, that say to the one
you have employed: "Hero aro tho
tools and material, go ahead and do
it to suit yourself, and It will suit mo."
Is not that wliat many of you aro do
ing witli your children. You say by
your actions: "Hero Is my child, with
its books, paper and pencil, I've furn
ished material and tools, educate him
as you like." Now wo hear some of
you say the teacher knows bettor what
they ought to study than I do." Whtlo
that may be is part true, the carpenter
or a dress-maker, or a painter, knows
hotter how to do' tho work than you
do, yet you do not leave it all to them.
On tho rising generation depends tho
welfare of this groat nation. Patrons
and Daren ts. take more intm-.Mt In mir
schools and visit thorn ojton, and by
your presence give, tho ,teaehers more
encouragement; ask them how your
children aro doing. Perhaps a few
minutes talk with them will save
trouble that years to come can never
undo. Think about this and ask your
self if you are. doing right.
