port at the next meeting of the
Club.
From time to time it has been
suggested that white way" light
ing system be installed in the dis
trict to be. paved but the time is
getting short until the paving will
be started and if anything is to be
done along that line action will have
to be taken Immediately.
After the paving has been laid it
will be rather late to consider a
white way system for if that sys-
TEN is to be installed the conduit
pipes should be laid before the paw
inglgoes in. When the telephone
poles are removed from Bayfield,
street there will be no means of
maintaining the present lighting
system along the street and there
fore it is necessary that some action
be taken Immediately.

THE Omaha officials seem to turn q
deaf ear" to the demands of the
people of this city for better passen-
ger and freight facilities. Were this
competitive point the Omaha peo-
pie would not be long in making inn
provements that would hold their
trade. Merchants in this city have
long since become disguised with the
service rendered them in the matter
of freight, and as the season advances
and business becomes more brisk the
condition becomes worse. The
Omaha people did employ an extra
man in their freight department but
with the poor arrangement at the
depot where at the most only three
cars can be spotted at time,
conditions have not been improved
to any great extent.

chants, being DESTROYS of getting

local yards it was two days before
the car was spotted to be unloaded.
What is needed by the Omaha
people is a new depot that 10 large
enough to accommodate the business
here. The passenger Fart of the
local depot is a disgrace to the rail-
road company and to the city. 1t
should no longer be tolerated BY the
people of Washburn. And a. fer the
freight department of the depot 1t is
simply the worst we have ever seen.
Washburn people have been lenient
with the Omaha Company in not
demanding better facilities until the
business would wa rant it but now
that time has come we want a new
depot and shall insist that we have
it,

The County Dads are going to get
first hand information about the
highways of Bayfield, County and to
see some of the work being done
through their iunketing trip which
will be taken during the early part
of June. At the last meeting of the
board it was voted that the members
take a trip over the county system
of highways and it is safe to say that
some changes will be recommended
after the board has finished its trip.
We believe that it will be money
well expended in letting the county
board members learn more about the
county system of highways and there
is no better way than in a trip over
the roads.

THAT a serious accident was avert
ed when the brick chimney on the
Pioneer school toppled over and
crashed though the roof seems to
be more luck than anything else.
Several children were injured, but
that some were not killed outright
seems almost miraculous. Tons of
brick went through the roof into the
room on the upper floor, and several
seats i'm which children were sitting
were smashed to splinters.
In rebuilding this chimney the
school authorities should make sure
that the chimney is built SO that a
like accident will not occur.

MINORITY PLAYING
POLITICS, CHARGE
Republican Senators Trying to
Embarrass President With
Attacks on His Policies,
Democrats Claim.

Washington, Jan. Exchanging that

past week have delivered fiery speeches

are trylng to put President Wilson lin

and w. J. Stone took the minority
members bitterly to task for their at
titude.
Inasmuch as Carranza has expressed
regret over the murder of Is Ameri-
cans n promised quick punishment
of The bandit slayers and sent a con-
siderable body of troops to run down
the outlaws, the administration feels
that there is no reason at this time to
interfere in Mexico. The president will

Not Sincere, Says Lewis.
Senator Lewis, a democrat, defend

clared the republican senators We're

with their resolutions on Mexico. He
said:
If the people of this country could
be convinced that their only object WIS
to secure peace in Mexico. the protec-
ton of life and property and establish :
ment of Law and ORDER" said he. O II
republican friends might hope for some
approval. But one of the decisions OF
the leaders on the other side is that tire
mass Of the public is blind to thei.
real motive and fooled as to the SIM
cerity of their intentions.
Financial success and prosperity of
the country have closed the door to the
cry of panic and disaster. Splendid
diplomatic negotiations and adherence
sustained by the president nave car
ried the country successfully through
the most difficult diplomatic tangics
since the civil! war and there is no op-
portunity to afford a cry of failure or
point to disaster and no opportunity to
point to a political issue. Now there
has arisen that unhappy and much tu
! be deplored murder by common muir
derers, such as might exist in any
country OF American citizens. How
quickly these eminent leaders Of the
opposition seized upon it as they could
be at least a political issue and they
cry ION to war"
