TO Be
kept CLEAN
Ordinance Against Throwing
Away Paper and Rubbish
viii Be Enforced
(From Mondays Dsily.)

"You can tell the people that they
must clean up and that If they don't
clean up, we are going to make them
clean up" is the ultimatum Mayor
Mars handed out this morning, in
speaking of the cleanup campaign
begun by the city. 1--WE are going
to get the streets and alleys cleaned
up and then we are going to keep
them clean. There is an ordinance
against putting waste paper and
rubbish in the street and we are
going to enforce it. We are figur-
ing now on getting metal waste pa
per cans to place on the corners
down town so that people will have
some place to put scraps OF paper
and rubbish. Then if a man throws
piece of old paper in the street
We'll file complaint against him
and fine him. If he doesn't want
that piece Of paper any more, no
body else wants 1t, that's sure, and
it is his business to see that it is kept
out Of the street"
Difficulties in the way of handling
garbage satisfactorily have inter-
fered heretofore in the enforcing of
city ordinances against the accumu-
lation Of rubbish and an
effort will be made to secure better
service for this sort of work. The
placing Of waste paper receivers on
corners down town has been pro-
posed before but the multiplicity Of
other needs has kept the attention OF
the city TO other things. These re-
ceivers will make it possible for
people along the street TO avoid
throwing away waste paper, fruit
parings, candy boxes, and sin'ier

as possible. This was the great

Then instead Of our boys having
to take up time resisting temp
tation and suffering 70 yielding
and ofttimes having to suffer
years of incarceration for a deed

Anxious Query Arises Over Sending

While the Pacific coast is elated

While the Pacific coast Is elated
over the prospect of the coming OF the
feet of warships, the Atlantic coast is
experiencing a corresponding depres-
sion of spirits and the anxious query
Is being asked as to what would nap

large cities should a hostile feet come
against them. Wiz the powerful sea
fighters away would they fall easy
prey to a foreign foe? If war should
arise with some one of the European
powers would the coast cities not De

and burned? Not very inviting pros
pect, to say the least, aad II there Is
the shadow of a chance of such posi-
bility the anxiety which is finding ex-
preston in some quarters is quite ex'
cusable.
But military experts are positive In
their assertions that the coast de-
lenses would be ample to protect the
cities from capture or bombardment.
for during the last ten years, since
the Spanish-American war, vast inn

time of war would be essential to pre-
vent the landing of an invading army

lenses, but the harbors and great
cities would be entirely safe. Only
one weak spot remains, and plans for
its protection have been perfected, al
though the money necessary has not
been appropriated. The weak spot 10
