the results are fearful. Like many country editors, we depended

' of Mayor King and Chief Curtiss' disgust and desire to get even.
Yesterday these august gentlemen, whose bulk after running
locomotive engines for nigh onto fifty years, fills the average
doorway, darkened the editorial sanctum of the Observer and
with Ifciyor King as sopkesman we received the calling clown of
our 'young lives.,.-' v

. What Does This City Need Most?
linneapolis has iven a more extensive and intensive applica
tion of civic investijiiiiion, with the recent celebration of Minnea
polis, Week, than, in all probability, any community has ever, here
tofore, nttempeted. That city has interested the many local or
ganizations in an effort to have all residents familiarize, them
selves with existing conditions, or in full, effect, to know the town
iw it is.
The. idea itself is not new, hut the application is. .Many cities
haye undertaken to acquaint the people with advantages and
needs, and many have conducted buv-jit-lmntf rumtuiions und civ
ic pride propaganda. Hut none, with the possible exception of
Cleveland, has one as far as Minneapolis in educational endeavor;
'as to the city's merits or deficiencies. Cleveland, it might be said, !
pages' a ceaseless battle for community advancement.
' , hTc average citizenship has a mistaken theory as to local prjde!
and loyalty. It maintains earnestly that the affection which it!
owes to itself mu:;t be expressed in boast fill terms, and that to'
criticize, even constructively, is almost tantamount to civic treas-;
on. Jt believes sincerely, even zealtaisly, that the only essential to;
progress is fervent display of gallant patriotism.
I No community ca progress which is unwilling or incompetent
to Uikc cognizance of its faults and wants and no communitv can i
the town is and picture what it should be. .Mere brag, unsupport
ed by ideals and thy will for more beautiful appearance and more
think in terms of betterment which does not carefully study what
eatisfnetory and improved living conditions, is an indication of the
t5clf-sntisfied stale which typififcs n'tingression.
i v The community which desires to g foiwavd must, not tmlv feel
just pride in its advantages, and give voice to this pride, but it;
must steadfastly exert itself to e;(lt living and business stan--i
dards. Civic patroitism slumld foster a live sense of unsatisl'ac-!
tion, n displeasure over community and civic defects, so that ad-1
vuncement may be continuous. , j
We must lik our town so much as always, while glorying in'
its excellence, to long and strive to make it better and more beau-'
tiful. We must realize its needs, as well as its U.-inti. ;,! l.n I
