FREEDOM.
Our political creed, without a
dissenting voice that can be
heard, is that the will of the peo-
ple Is the aourctyand the hap-
piness of the people Is the end
of all legitimate government
upon earth; that the best secur-
ity for beneficence and the best
guarantee against the abuse of
power consists in the freedom,
the purity and the frequency of
popular elections.—John Quincy

George E. Kessler, city planner re-
cently employed by Sherman city com-
missioners for the purisise of planning
out park system for Sherman, while
hi the city recently was a guest at it
luncheon at the Riuklcy Hotel, meet-
ing with tlie city manager, the C'haiu-
ber of Commerce directors and com-
mittees, and representatives of the
Civic League.
D. S. Thompson presided at tlie
meeting. He called u|sm l)r, O. C.
Alders to introduce Mr. Kessler.
Dr. Abler* stuted that It had been a
real task to convince the people of
Sherman of the iiu|*>rtaiice of a city
plan fur Sherman, for the majority of
the Sherman business men originally
balked upon city planning as idle
dreaming. Dr. Abler* stated that tlie
Texas Town aud City Planning As-
sociation had lieen organized for the
purisise of convincing the people of
Sherman of the reality aud practica-
bility of city planning.
He stuted that iu Ills opinion She"-
uuiii offered wonderful possibilities
for development work, not wily of
parks, but for development work along
all lines. He expressed regret that
all those present lit the meeting ha-1
not hemt In attendance on the Kansas
City Hunting, for in that case they
would have realized tiiat Mr. Kessler
v.-as one of the greatest experts in liis
line of work.
Mr. Kessler, when called upon, made
comment upon the splendid action
taken by the Chamber rtf Commerce
at the meeting in planning a patriotic
celebration upon Registration Day ,in
Which honor would la* done to the men
who enlisted in the service of the Na-
tion's army.
Mr. Kessler stated that it would tw
mi honor to any limn to wear the uni-
form of a private In the ranks of tilt
Flitted States army, and - that every
effort should la- made to make the
men who were destined to go to the
front feel that they were doing a
duty, and should be honored 'first.
Mr. Kessler stated the men of this
nation, especially the younger men,
needed to learn the lessons of obedi-
ence that would lie taught them in lie1
army.
In Owning to Sherman's problems
from a city planning point of view
Mr. Kessler stated that city planning
was nothing more or less than putting
your house In order. That the plann-
ing of a city calls for the arrange-
ment of the- city as an individual
would arrange his own house, so as to
have everything oonuenieut. in sani-
tary condition, and in such way that
the work of the city could he carried
on with the least expenditure of time
aud money.
Where proper planning is neglected
certain sections of the city outgrow
themselves and become congested, and
as a result there is the shifting of
the business center from one section
to another. Mr. Kessler stated that
in Sherman the business section was
confined betweeu a creek on the west
and the railroad tracks on the east.
The advertising value that would
come from tlie proper development
brought about by a city plan was
I duted out, the speaker showing that
there was a conijietition between cities
and that the one offering the best
home advantages would naturally draw
to itself the largest number of jieople.
He also pointed out the fact tiiat iu
attracting home owners the city, if
projierly laid out. would attract men
of wealth, who while Investing their
wealth would help to develop the in
dustrics of the city. Thus city plan-
ning or the proper development of the
city would Indirectly la> the means of
bringing manufacturing and Industrial
last! tut ions to Sherman.
He also pointed out the advantage
to the colleges located here by having
the city properly planned, pro-
viding parks and eliminating
disease breeding grounds, such
as arc now found on the various
streams and drains.
A college town has a cultural at-
mosphere not to la1 found In the pure-
ly commercial town, according to tlie
speaker, and is a thing to lie desired.
Tlie acquisition of the valley lands
along tlie streams of the city would
also rid the city of a menace to health
and to very unsightly (lumping
grounds.
Kansas City, by whom Mr. Kessler
was employed as far hack as In ISOS,
made a liig mistake, according to the
first president of the Kansas City
Park Board, in not beginning develop-
ment work of this nature fifteen
years earlier, the president of the
Park Board stating that by beginning
earlier Kansas City mild have ac-
quired very cheaply much, pro|ierty
that was needed for tairks, and in turn
could have liecome the most beautiful
city in the world.
Mr. Kessler stated that Sherman
should begin now, and that city plan-
ning was as practical and would
prove of as great value In'a city the
size of Sherman as In a, city the size
of Dallas or Kansas City.
Mr. Kessler pointed out that the
work outlined in a city plan * cannot
all lie dime at. once, hut that it can
only be accomplished step by step ;
• j -
but that until a definite
been put down on pa tier. ,
step will not be taken and no
made.
Iu discussing the fact that a city
plan cannot he carried through at
dice, and tliut often ten, twenty, or
lioriiHiie fifty years is necessary for.
cart-rtllg out a lilali, Mr. Kessler
stated that the bad habit* of nelthe*'
a town or an individual ran lie cor ,
reefed all at once, it Is necessary to'
la'gln, and" begin on some one definite'
thing. Not to undertake a dozen Olf
ferent reforms at take, hut to take
bold of one thing and put that
through. And that then as different
things were accomplished, the ways
ami means for accomplishing others
would present themselves.
Joe F. F.tter stated that a few days
ago lie read in the paiier where those
la-bind the city plan movement 111
Sherman desired to make “Sherman
the most lieautifu! city 111 the world."
Mr. Ktler stated .that on reading
the news item he at first was not lm-
prouted with it. hut, later lie- began to
iisk himself “Why not?" “Why should
Sherman not lie made uu Ideally beau-
tiful city?” The natural conditions
are here, according to Mr. Etter.
There are iu Grayson county stone of
the most beautiful drive® to lit- found
anywhere, anil why should not the
people of Sherman set about the task
of making of Sherman an ideal city,
a city not only beautiful. Imt a city
with Ideal home conditions.
Mr. EJter stated tliut tin* matter of
cost did not enter into it; saying
that lie planned to live In Sherman
the Iwlance of Ids life and that he
would gladly pay his part towards
making Sherman an ideal home town.
Lewis Andrews also sjsike on the
importance of good sanitary conditions
from the |ioiut of view of advertising
the colleges located here.
Mrs. C. C. Maylu-w made a splendid
talk, (siiuttng out the tiiiiiortutice of
beginning now to acquire the low-
lunils along the creeks and drains to
he used for parks, whether or not we
were able to make full use of this now
“we should begin to acquire these now.
