THI WOODWARD SPIRIT.
The spirit of enterprise mat builds
cities—the spirit that has and Is
building Woodward, is being manifest
■sain In the Improving of the city
The city dads are having many cross
ings constructed, and improvements
for the comfort and convenience of the
public are being made
It Is the Woodward spirit.
We are glad to see it exhibited
publicly as It has been privately dur
Ing tho past few months, when othoi
towns of the Northwest have heai
tated about making further progress
W oodward citizens have gone ahead
'■▼eating in better buildings, and b>
the time thoae now under way are
completed will have expended worn*
three hundred thousand dollars in this
way.
It not only shows the proper spirit
but It settles the future of Wood
ward. A city that will build her best
buildings, and make her most expen
sire improvements during a season ol
the ahortest crops in years exhibits
a light to the wayfarer seeking a lo
cation, that Induces him to come
among us and cast his lot.
People like to tie to a town that
does things, and Woodward is certainly
doing things.
During the past year Woodward has:
Built fifteen miles of public road,
and turned the trade from the north to
toe city.
Enlarged and greatly improved its
water system.
Installed an auto fire fighting appa
ratus.
Built several miles of cement walks
Kitted up a new city hall that is u
credit to the city.
Maintained one of the best bands in
the State of Oklahoma
lias voted bonds for the further ex
tension and improvement of her watei
system.
Has voted bonds for and Is arranging
to build three ward school building*
and a $55,000 high school building
Is erecting one of the finest post
office buildings west of Wichita, which
la being built by private capital fur-
nished by a company of her enterprls
lng citizens.
Has built and lias under way more
substantial brick and stone buildings
than any city in Oklahoma
Is projecting an lnterurban railway
to connect her with the great North
west, and bring the products of th«
farm to her markets.
Ir maintaining the best grain and
livestock market of any city in the
Northwest.
Promoted and held the Northwest
Oklahoma Irrigation Congress, which
started a movement that will be the
means of changing the climatic condi
tions of the semi-arid belt, and will in
crease the value of every foot of till
able land in the Northwest many times.
Has two of the best eijupped and
busiest publishing houses in the state.
Furnished the Chairman of the Cor
poration Commission, which is annual
ly saving the peop’e of the state mil-
lions of dollars, and making the public
service corporations respect the rights
of the people of the state.
And last but not least, has a Comer
cial Club that never overlooks a bet
that will lead to the advancement ol
the town or country.
These are some of the reasons why
Woodward is going ahead, while many
other towns are standing still.
This is the true Woodward spirit.
Let's cultivate It.
CO-OPERATION.
Mr. Yoakum, head of the Itock Is
land and Frisco lines, who has with
a party of distinguished men. been
making a tour of the country and look
ing into the general conditions ol
public roads, has done much to call
attention to the things to be accom
plished by co-operation.
United effort on the part of the peo
pie of any country will in a temarkably
short time be the means o,' overeom
ing one of the greatest drawbacks to
the prosperity of any community bad
roads.
We have an object lesson on this
point right here under own vision N<
one who hag traveled the north road
into Woodward of late can fail to not*
the Improved condition over what if
used to be when they trsveled It.
This Improved condition is the re-
sult of united efforts of the people—
the farmers, tho business men and the
officials of the tuwn and county, and
stands as an object lesson to the peo-
ple of their power and ability to ac-
couipliab II.ings by concerted action
People who live in towns are some-
time* prone to believe that they can
get along very well without the asst*
lance of the country districts, but
they are beginning to see tbat they
can get along much better by pooling
interests in intelligent co-operative ef-
fort. The farmers are learning the
same lesson, They find tbat the pros-
perity and advauci-mint of the towns
assists them in their struggle for be!
ter conditions.
Just so it is with the great arteries
of commerce- the railroad* If the peo-
ple prosper the railroads will liav*
plenty of business, but unless the peo
pie do prosper, the railroads suffer a-
much as anybody. For this reuson
Mr Yoakum suggests cn-operatiou b<
tween the people and the railroads
and it is a suggestion worthy of the
most careful consideration. We be-
lieve in Justice to all parties, corpora
lions us well as individuals, and the
railroads are entitled to fuir and jus
treatment, just as the public is en
titled to the same kind of treatment
from the railroads.
My the arbitrary methods pursued
by some of the railriuid* the people
have been worked up to a feeling o*
resentment against them, hut this
should not long exist, and the sooner
the railroads accept the advice of Mr.
Yoakum and seek to co-operate with
the people, the better it will be for all
concerned. The people only want just I
and equitable treatment at the hands
of the railroads, and this the railroads |
i ught to be willing to extend to them,
tnd if they do, they can rest assured
that the feeling that tue railroads are I
trying to art the hog w.tl rap.dly dis
appear, and a friendly co-operation
will spring up that will usher In m,
era of prosperity ami good feeling
