to fortune. This applies to inanimat- J
ed things as welL - Cape Girardeau
has not reached her tide yet. There i
is to mnch "dead sea fi-uit" in her
make-up. Cape ; Girardeau, like all
small cities, is burdened by a surplus
of old, fogyism, or to use a milder
term, conservatism. This same ele
ment has from time - immemorial
proven a stumbling block to the
advent of progress, intrenched behind
the brestworks of superstition and
ignorance it sends forth this edict.
'Conservatism" demands a surrender
of progress, in order "that it may re
pose in perfect tranquility in its
fosselated home. Conservatism builds
a Chinese wall around itself and shuts
out the rest of the world. This same
conservatism has prevented Cape Gir
ardeau from reaching her tidel It
seems that conservatism is a heredit-
4 arv heritage handed down from ffen-
eration.. .Nations yet unborn will feel)
its bneful influence. :
' The progress of a nation is meas
ured by the amount . of conservatism
it has lost. -'.The- more . it loses the
the greater the gain in the other
direction.
Progress in its onward march with
it numerous armies, will yet dethrown
this caviling conservatism. Then will
the bright ray of hope the blessing of
higher civilization lead it onward
march to the goal of human perfection.
Cape Girardeau's industrial are few
compared to what -her " wealth and
position entities ner. ine cape city
has all tha elements that go to make
up a "Industrial City" her geograph
ical position, her" water-way s( her
splendid roads, her railroad facilities
au tend to commercial supremacy.
Looming up in the back ground like a
hedious apperation stolid as ever
stands,, conservatism by its presence
prevents this end. - The Cape
City will someday, by herculain effort
riditseif of this conservatism and then
she will reach her tide and become the
great commercial mart, which is hers
by right of surrounding conditions.
,. Aside from this the Cape City is now
awakening to its needs. There may be
organized opposition, yet she will, by
a spirit-of progress overcome that
opposition. : What are her needs, and
how best obtained? The first can be
answered this way. Her needs are:
First,, new plootV' new enterprise,
foreign capital and a release of buried
money for legitimate business. Foster
new industries, , invite all legitimate
business to your shores, eschen petty
jealously and dwell in harmony. -
Second, Cape Girardean has plenty
of enterprising men men who are as
progressive and enterprising as one
will find anywhere. In these men the.
Cape City has a leaver to solve the
problem. . i ' ' " - '
'These same men have, by persistant
effort, brought Cape Girardeau to a
modern city, and . have made rapid
strides in helping her growth. Any
reference to the record of rapid growth
of Capo Girardeau commercial inter-1
csts would be incomplete without a
notice of the men who have devoted
their time', money and years to bring
about this result. Chief amongst them
will be found the n Jim is of bturdtvant,
Glenn, Albert, Rider" Thilenius, Pott,
and Lilly. These names are a tower
of strenght in the commercial world,
they are names of men : who are
thoroughly progressive and up to date,
lending their aid to a? v movement that
tends to improve or rebound to the
good of Cape Girardeau." It is truu
these men have done much for Cape
City.; It s also true there remains
much that is not done. Whilst Tun-
der these adverse conditions you have
a flourishing city. There are some
things that are needed badly, viz: An
electric street car line, or other mode
of rapid transit, improved side walks, J
as most streets are totaiy witnout
any kind of a walk, a large public
park and better oepots.
On the i other hand . industrial re
vival would be welcome. The Cape
City offers a splendid field for wood
works; such as a bent wood factory,
axe handle factory, bicycle tire fac
tory or . wagon , factory. Furniture
could--be. manufactured very cheap
here as'there is an abundance of all
varieties of wood for that purpose
close at hand. There are many other
industries that would liurish here.
Yet in the face of many drawbacks
the city progresses well, and ere' long
will lead the procession of progres
sion. "So might it -be."
