Work on New Water System
for Plant Will Start
on April 9th.

Notices %%have been posted in
the cities and towns near here
during the past week by the E.
|. Dupont company stating that
they want 200 men at their
plant at Barksdale on April LIST.
Wages of $2.15 per day will be
paid and an additional 20 per
cent will be paid if the employ
ees remain fifteen days or longer.
We are informed by company
men that the men will be used
in building a new water system
at the plant and for other work.
The wells which have supplied
the plant with water during the
years it has been in operation
are giving out to some extent
and the supply of water is not
great enough. The company
now plan on putting in a water
system to Chequamegon bay and
as soon as the system is COM
pleted the water for the plant
will be obtained from this source.
In order to connect with the
bay ditch nearly two miles in
length will have to be put in and
much other work will have to be
done.
The employing of these
additional men will take up all of
the idle labor about the city and
ought to make times rather brisk
for a time.

Cleanup Campaign Started
by the Schools
Will Ask Cooperation of all
Organizations in a
Great Work.

In order that Washburn may
be made one of the most beauti-
full cities in Northern Wisconsin
a cleanup campaign has been
started in the city by the Civics
Class of the Washburn High
School and the schools of the
city have joined in the move
ment. The plan is to get all
organizations and individuals in
the city to join in the movement
and work will be started this
week.
"The City Beautiful" has been
adopted as the slogan and the
movement includes the cleaning
up of yards, alleys, vacant lots,
repair of fences and sidewalks,
improvement of buildings, paint
ing of property, planting of
flowers, and identifying of yards
and lawns, removal of dilapidated
buildings and a general improve
ment of the city.
The schools will endeavor to
interest all persons in the work
and to make it general through
out the city. Last year a clean
up movement was carried out in
the city and much good was done.
We can make Washburn one
of the most healthful spots in
the United States to live in by a
united effort on the part of all
persons. Let's all work for "A
City Beautiful"

The City Manaoer and the System

In tl,e endorsement of City Manager Parish, we believe the Womans Club expresses the sentiment of large majority the thinking people of Phoenix. The club however has not conveyed the sentiment of that element which deprecates the removal of the city government from politics, possible corrup- tion certain and graft It has not conveyed thc sentiment many individuals, honest enough in themselves, but who desire to see certain friends of theirs in office and drawing salaries, regardless of their value the government, and it has rot expressed the sentiment of large class of citizens who have an unrcasoning antipathy to what they call "one-man power" Members of the latter class as q rule, have special personal objection to the present city manager, but they object to the principle of the charter which confcrs such power upon any
 Yet very large number. q majority of the voters who cared to go record on this proposi- tion. declared that they favored the power, as the only one that could insure business like government Somebody must possess training and somebody must be held responsible Without reflect in, upon the personnel of present city commis son may say, general proposition, It IS impossible to secure a commission a majority of which is composed of to whose acumen we would be willing to trust the management of any large enterprise. We avoiding invidous com parison when we say that there not three mem bers jorty of the present commission, and the manager upon whom would place such re- sponsibity We will say, further that there is not d member of the commission including the mayor, who possesses the qualities and training, with the time to employ them, for the post of manager in such a degree as City Manager Parish does
 The absurdity therefore, of putting into their hands with their unfamiliarit' with dealing with large bodies men, directing the energies of men, must be as apparent all thinking citizens it las seemed to the members of the Woman's Club.
 We do not say that MT. Parish is the best city manager that could have been secured, even under the restrictions which constitution foolishy lays upon the selection, but have been able to think O no more competent manager We do not believe mission is nearly competent. We do not think that the mayor any member of the commission would dare assert such claim; believe that their of humor their Of the ridiculous however rudimentary it may be- would prevent such assertion.

The Price of Wheat

Wheat will be wheat before the end of this year. sold at fancy prices The transactions reported from Chicago on Tuesday are quite different from ordi- is a common thing for the grain gamblers to buy or sell wheat May July delivery, but such transactions only that the buyers and the sellers have differences of opinion to what the prices wheat will be the succeeding May July It does not that any less wheat will be avail able a the deliveries. and the chances are that before the time of the deliveries other fac tors will have entered the market to neurazc tlle effect that the tra nsactio might have on May July wheat
 But the transactions reported from Chicago mean that the wheat reported sold is actually sold and will be withdrawn from the country. That means also that we are entering upon the wheat year with less than wheat, with a deficit in wheat. speak. We have reason to believe that before the end of the year wheat will be much higher

The Public Printing Waste

Legislature after legislature has dealt with what has been called the printing graft As matter of fact at least in recent years, public printing has not been graft. The newspapers which have ap- parenty benefited by not really been bene- fitted at all. but the there has been an extraordinary and useless expenditure of the public money in the publication the reports of public. bodies, such the board of control and boards of supervisors
 While the legislature is feeling it's way along lines leading efficiency and economy would if not be well for it to consider whether it could not sop the leak occasioned by the needless publication of matter in which nobody is interested and which nobody but the linotype operator the proof reader and the copy holder read? We would there fore suggest to the legislature elimination or at least, a material reducton of the expense of such publication
 This may seem strange course for a news paper to suggest, but The Republican, which has steadily advocated economy when it can be prac tced without impairns efficiency. believes it to he us pan duty to urge this matter upon the legis- lature We understand that the State Taxpavers, Association and the board of supervisors of this county favor this economic reform
 Such waste is permitted in few of the states Of the union It is relic here of the old fines
 'P'i'i' idcheu means of support and when pupllc officials believed that organs might he use lui to them We believe that our public officials are not now under any such delusion
