BUILDING BETTER THAN WE KNOW
Whatever the people of Seward do for better conditions
” and in the line of public improvements is often count
ed only for the immediate benefits it brings, But to build
for this year alone, or even for the next five years, is not
the end. Undertakings, to be of lasting value, must be
of those conceived and accomplished in the light of future
as well as of present needs.
We are inclined to want to spfead more optimism
than pessimism concerning the things that have been done
in the community of Seward, because results of the past
years are alreoSy showing up on the side of good. Nor do
we refer only to the material improvements such as roads,
bi Jges, streets, buildings and other public works. Espec
ially can the people of Seward commend the work that has
been done among its truly great assets—its boys and girls
who, in that higher and finer definition of youth have
ceased to be considered as “problems/ but more as normal
human beings seeking the right knowledge of life and the
propei expression of their talents and energies.
But whether it is a street being repaired, a building
erected, a hand clasped, a song being sung or a soul being
reconstructed, there is a mighty hope for the future if the
purpose is one that makes for lasting and good efforts in
the days and years that are to come. Sincerity of pur-,
pose is one cornerstone of permanency.

“We have an idea that the candidates for the presi
dent of Mexico are not pestered by life-insurance agents/’
—Des Moines Tribune. But no doubt their families are
tormented to death by advertising morticians.
One wholesome outlook for the coming campaign is
that the candidates will have to walk every plank they
put into their platforms.
The physical strength of Samson lay in his hair; the
social strength of the modern Samson lies in his hair-cut.
