A Gentleman from a nearby town visited us in our office last week, and in discussing the proposed jn-. terurban, remarked thst he had sunk $3,000 in the interurban failure of some years ago. Disregarding this loss, he promptly subscribed when the paper for the project was presented to him. His reasoning is very sound The town he hails from is an inland town with no means of transportation. He asserts that an interurban through his town is bound to be a winner, and even if the present line falls through eventually they are going to be connected with the outside world by a railway. We are glad to hold up tfais pleasing example of a man whom though he lost a large sum of money by interurban promotion is still ready to contribute to what he feels assured must in time become a reality. There is a wide difference between our present proposition and the one that failed so signally in the past. Simplified it is this: Under the methods of the system that lost, outside men did the promoting: local people furnished the capital. All is changed under the new regime, local men are doing the promoting and outsiders will furnish the capital. We are in the same position as the pious farmer whose barn burned shortly after harvest and consumed his entire crop with the exception of some seed that he had taken into the house for safekeeping. After the conflagration, he got down on his knees and thanked the Lord that he had seed left to start a new crop and depended on His goodness for the future harvest. Let us do likewise. While we lost the entire capital in the first railway scheme, let us be thankful that it in no way affected inducements for an interurban to qome: And let us remember that because one failure was made is no indication that all succ eding efforts will be fruitless. - ■ As You all know, the Journal has never strthned its good right arm by throwing boquets indiscrimihatelv, but on the other hand the good right arm has never hung limply by our side when boquets were really and truly deserved. With this preamble off our mind we giadly compliment Wm. DePew on the efficiency of the electric service. During the heavy storm of Monday evening, when the residence at the

power house was struck by lightning, the electric lights were off for possibly ao hal( hour. This short suspension of the current served to remind us of the excellent and uninterupted service we have had for many months. We are enjoying better electrical conveinience now than ever in the history of the local plant. We Can’t be serious-minded nil the time and prosper—we must have our fun days. For several years, the town of Syracuse has did without a fun day or general celebration, if we except the carnival and Chautauqua. It is high time that we rekx our minds and do a little capering and incidentally invite others to caper with us. It is not many weeks until the Glorious Fourth will be here. Why not an oldfashioned celebration on this pati - otic anniversary? Races on both land and water could be arrangtd and a merry-go-round, a nigge - baby stand, and all the other ingredients that go to make a perfectly lovely time could be secured. Let’s celebrate; what say you? Thirty-nine years ago this week, Syracuse received her first mail over the B. &. 0. railroad. Prior to that time mail was brought oveiland from Goshen.
