SALEM.

The people OF Salem and vicinity
have of late amused themselves talk
ing of the ability, scholarship and
merital power possessed by our friend
in Wllmot who is so deeply interested
in the general welfare of the Salem
orchestra. The orchestra lived before
they attempted to play at Wilmot and
as far as the public know, are still in
the land of the living. We wish to
extend congratulations to the new
Wilmot orchestra, but will probably
not be accepted considering where
thew come from. We are puzzled why
our Wilnot friend does not join the
new orchestra. We are aware that
one north side tom cat" has already
accepted position, but perhaps the
leader would accept another. If not
Judging by personal appearance of our
friend we think he could fill the posi-
ton of the calf, but if he could not in
duce the leader to discharge the calf
or make him believe he needs a pair,
from the way our friend has spoken
his little piece the last two weeks, he
surely would make an extra good mate
for the mule, although we don't wish
to insult the mule and hope the latter
will take no offense. We deeply SYM
pathize with our friend whose musical
sense has been so poorly cultivated
that he cannot distinguish the music
produced by the Salem orchestra from
the so-called music he has been telling
US of. We have heard before of people
who could not distinguish Home
Sweet Home" from " Yankee Doodle, "
but we think our friend is by far worse
off and sincerely hope that he may be
promoted from farm hand. We may
have looked at it all in wrong light
as it may have been caused from the
effects of disordered stomach or per-
haps a severe attack of the nightmare
and if such is the case we sincerely
hope to be excused and hope our friend
will be little more careful in the flu
ture of what he eats.

SUGGESTION OFFERED
An observer Talks About the Electric
Road Project

Mr.. Editor. What shall we do about
the electric railway? 1t is certainly time
to take some decided action; the sub
iect has been under discussion for some
time and quite long enough for the
most careful investigation. am con-
fident that the progressive element in
our town is not limited to one street
or few men and it is not strange that
our common council should be so
cautious and slow of decisive action
with so little expression of wishes and
ideas from their constituents. That a
place like Kenosha should be SO limited
in means of transportation is fact to
be regretted. Another railroad is what
we want and if we cannot induce an
other to come here, let us have the next
thing Now, | think there is no doubt
but that the majority want the electric
line, but the question of route is upper
most and should be settled with regard
to greatest benefit to the whole city or
where the majority want it.
Let us consider the different routes
and reasons favoring each. The Main
street men say it should be there, others
say Ashland avenue is nearer centre of
population, still others that it would be
best west of the railroad where it would
be appreciated instead of being objection
able. Another route is the lake front.
Of these the principal ones are the
Main street and Ashland avenue routes.
Which has the most and the best
reasons in its favor?
The Main street men say it should be
there where their business is, but it
would seem to me it would do the most
good to the city as whole, whore it
would be most central and benefit the
greatest number.
We want to grow and must expect to
encourage growth, thereby each aud
all will be benefited.
The route that appears to be the
most favorable all round would seem to
me as follows: Beginning at Caledonia
on the north end straight south through
the city on Ashland avenue for the
through line, and with this | would
suggest short local line on Market
street, from Main street to Bainville.
This would give chance to ride to any
side of the city within reasonable walk
ing distance going or coming. AS a
beginning this would be all that would
be required; later, when conditions
show it would pay it would no doubt be
extended or a local line put in.
AS suggestion to get at the ideas of
the majority perhaps the following plan
would be as practical as any
Place paper in some public place
like the postofice, designate its pur-
pose, rule off in columns for name,
residence and route desired, requesting
every voter to fill in according to his
ideas. The council or Business Mems
association could devise some plan for
this purpose. With a popular express
sion of this kind they would feel more
justified in taking decided action.
Respectfully submitted.
