CLEANING UP.

The News wishes to commend the
effort street commissioner Reedy Is
making and the success he is ach1ev
ing. in using the city prisoners where
thew can do the most good, and giving
the balance of their time where they
are secondarily needed.
The business portion of the city is
where they are most needed, and that
is where Mr.. Reedy will use them
first, every morning; and the thor
oughness with which he is doing ms
work today, is quite encouraging. The
business portion of the city looks
clean for the first time since celebra-
ton day last october.
Commissioner Reedy thinks, follow
ing this new system of his own, that
he can do better and more effective
work. Heretofore, which goes to show
one of the many bad features of the
old ward system of government, the
hands have been moved first here and
next there without any regular sys'

will clean up the downtown, business
district the first thing every morning
and do it we'll: then they will devote
the balance of the time to residence
or outlying districts.
The business district is entitled te
this favoritism, for several reasons
First, counting the stores and stocks
banks and capital. it pays the bulk Of
the taxes Second, everybody gets
the benefit of work done in the bust
ness district; those who live in it,
those who shop in it, and the stranger
within our gates. So first and fore
most of all, the business distric
should be kept clean and tidy.
And it cannot be done by the indi
vidual system, every man to cart OF
his own trash. Because it is not ey

This is an age, so it is said, in
which everyone wants to reform ev-
eryone else but in which no one thinks
of beginning with himself. That, of
course, is an exaggeration, yet there
is considerable truth in it. The side
walk on street will always be kept
clean If every man will only sweep
the walk in front Of his own place
every day.
