PRID E IN ONE S TOWN
If we don’t boost o u r tow n no one w ill do It for
us. T he first fac to r th a t a visitor in o u r tow n or
a n y o th er looks for is the c h a ra c te r of th e people.
If they are boosters w ith tow n pride he feels th at
It’s a gtxxl place to live. If they a re k n o ck ers and
com plainers he feels th a t it is a poor place to
settle.
It has fallen ou r lot to show th e Industrial tra c t
to people w ho com e here from tim e to tim e. Al­
m o st invariably th e leading question asked is
“W hat kind of a tow n have you h e re ? ” “ Are th e
people active and e n th u sia stic su p p o rte rs of the
to w n ’s in stitu tio n s, business houses and in d u s­
trie s ? ”
W hile we know th a t th e re is an elem ent in
every city who con trib u tes n o th in g to th e civic
w elfare except w hat the governm ent ta k e s from
th em in th e ,fo rm of taxes, we do hope th a t this
elem ent will get sm aller and sm aller in Spring-
field. It costs nothing to be a booster and in the
long ru n you will benefit by it. It co sts som e­
th in g to be a knocker because w hen you attem p t
to b reak down the m o ra le 'o f a tow n you are but
h u rtin g yourself. D on't be with th e w hining
m inority; get on th e bandw agon.

T he resignation of M artin Anderson as county
com m issioner will leave a vacancy in th e county
c o u rt h a rd to fill. T here a re plenty of m en in
th e county who a re capable enough for the job
b u t very few would ta k e it a t th e salary of $1500
a year.
T he county co urt is ch arg ed w ith th e wise e x ­
penditure of a million or m ore dollars each year.
Surely no private business would hire $1500 a
y ear help for such a responsible position and why
should th e county. T h e sa la ry of th e county
c o u rt should be such th a t a m an filling th e job
would n o t have to m ake financial sacrifices in
o rd er to look a fte r county affairs. T h e salary of
$1500 m ight have been sufficient w hen th e com ­
m issioners w ere p a rt tim e officials b u t now they
have to fill m an size jobs every day in th e year.

We now have a c a n d id a te for each of the offices
vacated on th e city council. But th at is not suf-

a little com petition. C om petition is said to he
the life of tra d e but it is aiso th e life of dem ocratic
governm ent.
"T h is is th e best fall w e a th er in the world." we
heard one of our happy citizens declare th e o th e r
day. T h a t's the spirit.
