A Talk of Two Contractors.

Two contractors were engaged in a
railroad building job. One contractor
required every man going to work for
him to remove his clothing and take a
bath. A clean suit of Overalls was then
furnished him until his clothing could
be disinfected. The employer did this
because he did not want dirty men work
ing for him. He was determined that
there should be no lice in his camp. Each
laborer was furnished with a good sized
tent with board floor. The tent was
supplied with spring cot AMI clean bed
ing. Tents were screened with mosqui-
to netting. The cooking and dining
tents were kept in sanitary and inviting
ly clean condition. Garbage and manure
were disposed of so as not to attract flies.
Privles were screened to prevent flies
carrying infection from typhoid or other
intestinal disease carries. Men who were
dirty tramps when they arrived left as
clean seIf-respecting men.
The other contractor did as most con-
tractors do. Whatever his own, idea of
cleanliness might be, he wasted no
money on frills". The first contractor
had no trouble getting men. The best
came to him. There was absolutely no
sickness. The only doctors bill in nine
months was for man who had his arm
broken by horse.
The conditions of the two contractors
and the work done were practically dent-
ical. The first contractor made hand
some profit. The second actually lost
money.
IL the moral Of this tale were apple
able only to railroad builders, there
would be no point in printing it here.
A railroad construction camp is small
community. The con tractor is the rul-
ing power. In the civil community the
voters are the supreme authority. As
such they can determine what the living
and working condition of their commun-
ity shall be.
The moral, however, has an even more
personal application. A community is
an aggregation Of individual homes. The
is usually the authority on
She can see to it that her
house is screened and clean. The cost
of clean water.supply, of proper sewage
and garbage disposal can be met by the
saving in doctors bills, extra help made
necessary by avoidable sickness, ETC., not
to mention avOidable funeral expense.

FROST GIVES
FINE ADDRESS
Speaks at Meeting of Business
Mems Association at City
Hall Tuesday Evening.

| Robert L. Frost, assistant secretary of
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation of Milwaukee gave an excellent
address on the subject of cooperation
among business men at a regular meet
| ing Of the business mems association
Tuesday. He said in part:
The realization has come, the natural
answer to the insistent call for a body
of men who are loyal to their city and to
their state and who realize that by con-
certed effort they can accomplishments
beyond the reach of public officials or
of individuals Public officers have, as
such only the powers directly or impliedly
conferred upon them by the laws under
which they hold Office.
In the current Of the worlds progress
no individual can stand still He either
advances through personal initiative, OF
through weakness or Indifference, drifts
backward. Equally true is this of COM
mercial organization or even the COM
munity which it represents. 1t is merely
a question of degree ard in the latter
cases the advance or retreat is more
marked.
If thedrifters hurt only themselves,
the loss would not be so great, but the
danger extends beyond them. Their
very example often influences others
who in the absence of an incentive for
real effort are drawn back along the
lines of least resistance. There is today
no room for drifters, no matter whether
they be individuals, organizations or
communities. Instead, the demand is
for men alive to the interests Of their
town, who take just pride in its pro-
gress and who are loyal to all the good
things for which it stands. These are
the men who make the town. for in their
interest and support they make possible
by concerted action the development
which makes for a bigger and better
community.
If were asked what Of all elements is
the primal one in successful citizenship,
the one characteristic which goes to
make the best citizen, I would without
hesitation answer Loyalty" By loyalty
mean unselfish allegiance to the home
town, the home organization and its
officers, to the community and its
activities

Let the Voters Know.
Editor Leader:


The municipal election is ap-
preaching. There are four announ-
ced candidates for the mayoralty,
but this'far, not one of the quartette
has given the public any informa-
ton as how he stands on important
matters which must receive atten-
ton during the ensuing two years.
1t cannot be that they lack the NOR
al courage to tell the people what
they will do in case either should
be elected. The question of water
rates must be settled, and settled
right would suggest a fiat rate
for every consumer of water and no
distinction as to rates: Also if they
favor sane regulation and the. clos
ing of back rooms after 8 o'clock
p. M: the enforcement of the city
ordinances and state laws; the re-
duction of taxes; the settlement of
all suits against the city on the best
terms possible for the city, The
candidates should publish their
platforms and not keep the public
in the dark as to their position on
matters of vital Importance to the
people and taxpayers of Watertown.
A Citizen.
