Today is your day and mine, the only day we have, the day In which we play our part. What our part may signify in the great , whole we may not understand. bnt we are here to play it. and | now is our’.time. This we know. It is a part of action, not whining. It is a part of love, not cynicism. It is for us to express love in terms of human helpfulness. This we know, for we have learned from sad experience that any other source leads toward decay and waste. —David Starr Jordan. BUCKING OBSTACLES An Obstacle that would be lingering death to nine towns out of ten is cheerfully surmounted by the little village of North Webster, to the south of us. This village has no railroad and yet it continues to grow; to erect new buildings; to do an ever-increasing business. Not to be outdone by larger neighbors, these villagers sent to Chicago for fresh air children and are now caring for them. The people of North Webster are continually and eternally plugging for a means of ingress and engress and when they secure it, which they eventually will, they will make some of the surrounding towns look as if they were tied td a post. From what we can hear, every man in Webster is a booster and that is what makes a village into a town and a town into a city. NO FUSION THERE Many of the Republican papers claim that there is a secret understanding between Democratic and Progressive leaders and tnis charge is made especially strong in Warsaw. Whether it be true or not we are unprepared to state: but one thing is sure, there is no understanding of this kind in Goshen. Bro. Beane delights in handing just as large a bunch to the Progressives as to the Republicans, only more so. NEED ANOTHER LESSON The Speed of automobiles through the streets of Syracuse was diminished perceptibly several weeks ago after several drivers had been arrested and fined. The effects of these arrests seem to have worn off. Sunday, several autos traveled,, the streets at a speed much in /excess of the limit. A few more fines will help greatly to correct these speed tendencies.

FIGHTING IMPROVEMENS There May be hidden features that do not appear on the surface in the fight that T. R. North of Milford is making against that town’s officials. Outer appearances indicate that North’s. fight is mainly against progression, for that is what sewers and paving mean to any town. Milford’s town board seems to desire to step from oldfashioned methods into newer and better ways and as is usual there is always someone ready to block the way. The stumbling block in this instance seems to be determined to fight to the last ditch and with all due respect to Captain North, our sympathies are with Milford and her town board. BETTER THAN MOST Syracuse people only half comprehend the slackness of business in all cities and most of the other towns. Business here has been fairly good; work is plentiful to the man who is really looking for it. Empty houses in this town are hard to find. There are some, of course, but practically all of the desirable dwellings are filled. The best part of it is the fact that factory conditions here are looking brighter all the time. The foundry has been putting on men right along and the cement works have been daily shipping more cement than they make. To the close observer there are evidences of prosperity here that are sadly lacking in the majority of places. > If All The oratory that is let loose during the Chautauqua season was bound in one volume, it probably would represent a collection | of the world’s worst literature.
