The Naval Program,

Although congress will not assem-
bic for something more than tive
months yet. the Navy IS already pre-
pairing its program of shipbuilding to
be presented Tor congressional con-
sideration. Last year President
Roosevelt announced it to be the
Administration policy that only
such new construction would be ask
ed as might be needed to supply
waste. such as the replacing of ships
lost, made obsolete by age or other
reason. Il is now evident that the
President has changed his mind and
advocates the building of a eonsid-

suggestion to the Mayor and ciyt or
fcials there should be day set be-
suggestion to the Mayor and city OF
fore the time of their arrival for the
cleaning up and putting in order Of
our attractive little city, so that it
will impress them with our cleanli-
ness-zthe next thing to Goodness
Now. in this cleaning process, we
have not only in mind the sweeping
CT trash from our front door and the
removing Of the ash and slop barrel
from our back door but the putting Of
the whole place, from curb to the
back fence, in a neat, attractive AMI
presentable condition
On the business streets. all the
old pieces of wooden awnings or
professions should be removed from
the fronts OF the stores and where
it is possible, new coat of paint
might be added All the dirty rag
or show streamers on tho telephone
posts or fronts of buildings should
be torn off, which alone would add
great deal to the appearance Of
Washington avenue, our main busi-
ness thoroughfare.
Take the suggestion, gentlemen
for what it is worth, and if you de
eide to act at all on the matter, do
SO at once.

his personal courage and his silent
