Show H "To Knock or not to knock that is Hi the question." If the people of this H city will got together and knock out Hi the strife and pony blckeiiugs that H make life unpleasant, that stay pro- Hi gress, that place the cold hand of j death on enterprise and ambition, H then wc say knock. If the people H will get together and knock out the H senseless feuds that exist between H , famllcs In this city, then we say H knock. If lh" pnpie will knock out H ' the bad roads In this county let them H ( all become knockers. A knocker Is a H i good thing if he knocks the right HL thing In the right way, and the first HI thing to knock arc all those petty and Hj long continued dillercuccs founded on HJ real or fancied grievances of years Hj gone by. If a grievance is held against H ; another why not go to him and have j ,. It out, get It behind you. Can anyone alford to have Ills Hfo domlniiiatcd by j petty jealousies, continual strife, vain H imaginings and fault findings-? isn't H it true that a grievance nursed In the HL soul grows to pioportlons beyond con- Hj trol and dominates the entire thought H and will? Is It right? Practical life H says it Is not. It Is the common ex- H ' pression In this city that this faction j , and the other faction, this family and H that other family, this interest and Hl that other combination has Its knife t ready for use at tho slightest excuse. HE Is it to carvo tho way to fame and Hi'. possessions for its owner? No, It's Hj more to cut oil tho existence or to HE , cripple tho other fellow. Can pro- B r Kress, peace, happiness and content h1 ' kIIhhL come where such feelings exist? Oct together, and stay together. This Is easier said than done, but If the public will cease to believe that It cannot be done anil will permit Its mind to dwell on the glorious possibilities once such a move were achieved, this condition could become a fact. |
