Fifth Ave. | anager | Tribune Bldg Nor thrup, Manager, ts THE SPIRIT THAT COUNTS. The Whig's cartoonist makes a sketch this week, published in this day's paper, that will' be examined with profound interest. It presents two views, One is that of a town An which the public spirit is dead. The other is that of a town in which the public spirit is very much alive, | and a casual glance is sufficient to | satialy one as to his choice or pre- | ference. > | Men. often wonder why certain - Places, which compare in natural ad- vantages, are so different in appear. ance. The secret is the difference in their public spirit. Oné is very wutractive because the comunity is without knockers. ° The people are cordial in their relations. They co- operate accurately in everything that means the upbuilding of the mumici- _pality. They help and suppor} each " otlier, and it 15 this mutual consider- ation that makes a success of life. Who wants to live in a dead town? Who wants to feel that he is walk- | ing among its wrecks and reading in | the tumble-down buildings and neg- lected streets and alley-ways the epi taphs of misguided efforts and aban- | doned hope? No one.. 'And it is wonderful how this condition und fecling may bo shaken off by using | the proper tonic and absorbing it in | proper doses, . | The community idea is a sure cure' | Wherever the peoplé build up trade | and take a pridecin it; wherever they are loyal to themselves and to the town in which they live, prosperity appears and stays. It is about time this idea got a firm hold upon our people. The Whig can sce the evi- ente of its presence and power. The more 1t is acted wpon the more cer. fain it'is that the machinery of busi. 'nies will hum. ~ _AYOID ALL ANTAGONISM. - A Holstein breeder, at the banquet Thilrsday evening, resented * the Feflection Which he thought had been passed on him and others when a previous speaker, in 'the interests of the recruiting that is now going on, Said there were men presedt 'who shoitld be in khaki. ~ : No offense was intended.

The spoils system should have no place in the war, and the scandals that have occurred in connection with the pub- lic contracts are evidence that it has been recognized. In the army all appointments havé not been made upon merits, and unfortunately the feeling is that these things should not be. The effect on the farmer has been expressed on, more than one occasion in this county and by its re- Presentative men. No,.the recruit ing must be carried on withqut of- fense towards anyone. If the young men, in the larger number, cannot be induced to leave the farm, there {18 a reason for it and probably a | good reason | the men who work the soil must not The antagonisms of be engendered.
