Show As Others See Us. Last week Tin: Kkhmii.h an told you TheMackayTelegiaphlsa',ciack-erjack" TheMackayTelegiaphlsa',ciack-erjack" and llyid Tiego thoroughly "onto his jol),"and this week hepiovos ho Is "onto" to Logan about pioper. llyid was down heioat the lime of the lriigaliou Congtess, and In willing of Logan, lie wiltcs fiom leal knowledge and not information gatheicd by grapj-vine dispatch. Tlie Telegiaph Is located in a town of piobahly (ion or 700 at this time but Is pushing hard for a coinmciclal organization and it Is in making a comparison that Tiego i e-feis e-feis to Logan. He says: "If someone wanted to submit an impoitant business pioposit lou to the town of Maekay today theie would be no one to submit It to, and no one to give an authentic aiiswei. Hill suppose sup-pose we had thlsoiganlzatlon:wo could appoint a meeting lor eight o'clock tonight. to-night. At live minutes to eight the lopiesontatlve men of the town would bo gat heiing in. At eight o'clock the matter would bo submitted; shaip, pointed expiesslous would follow; at i::io theanswoi would bo leady to deliver, de-liver, or to Hash over the vviies to the p.uty oi body submlttiiigtheipiestloii. What Is moil sensible, moie ollcetive; moie economic and nioietiustwoitliy? On the other hand what Is mote do- ploiablo than unotganlzcd foices, and especially If they aie clashing with each other. Take lor example the I beautiful oldcltv of Louan wilh its schools and colleges, and lis gieat temple; its stoics, banks and its sugar factoiy. It has no unit, no oigaula-liou oigaula-liou noi voice aside tioni Its slow and uecessailly clumsy and testi luted municipal mu-nicipal oiganlzalion. If theie Is to be any thing .lone outside of that It icsts with the chinch, oi some of Hie schools ot the Agiieultuial College. Theie Is no conceited action except what arises liom community of Inteiest. Dllfetcnt business houses have theli own leasons for going each In their own adopted couise, and they usually do It. One yeai agoTho Logan He-publican, He-publican, one of the local newspapers with a good pulse, agitated for a chamber of commeice, and although I everybody seemed In favor of It, vet Ihey have not gotten together and the Hepnbllcin Is still Insisting on some action." The Telegiaph is pr.ib.ibly a little enthusiastic in exptcsslng the Idea that a commciclal oiganlzalion could and would decide great questions In :w minutes, but In the main, isn't his talk alrauti right? If Logan Is anything any-thing I" si business way today, It Is laigely because her gicatness has been thrust upon her. Individuals as In dividuals have done much, even great things, for the city, but that Individual Individ-ual action had It Ixien organized and pioperly directed would have brought ten times gicatcr lesiilts. There Is no doubt but that Caclje county has great possibilities which might be encouiag-cd encouiag-cd and developed, that industries of great value could be Induced to locate hcie, that the city could 1c made blighter, belter, and moie beautiful, that good loads and sidewalks would have been mimd Krg eie this tlnough the medium of a commciclal oiganlzalion but we aie all too Intent In-tent on otii own peisonal aggiandlze-inent aggiandlze-inent to see that we .no losing the veiy thing we aie stiiving for. Tiii:.I!Ki't'iii.KA. has faith in Logan Lo-gan and its people and doesn't want to bo classed as a knocker, but people good though they be. become lethargic lethar-gic and must be uioitscd. Logan needs lousing, needs unity, and conceited action: It needs somebody full of action ac-tion and eneigy to get at tlie head of things and bustle. Theie aie nmmbcr of men in Logan who could and should do this. Is It tine that eveiy fellow is laying for the other with a sheated knlle icady for use? This Is said fie-(piently, fie-(piently, and the intimation Is that this faction is against tlie other and all .no at vaiiauce with each other. This should not be in a Chiistlan community, com-munity, and this community makes gieat pictentions along this line. Cut one or tlie other out. |
