Insight Into War.

President Wilson's. insight
into the reason for the present
war is forcibly portrayed by the
following excerpt from his Flag
Day Address in Washington
last week. It follows:
''The Worlds freedom is at
stake. The great fact that
stands out above all the rest is
that this is a peoples war; a war
for freedom and justice and
self governmentamongst all the
nations of the world. A war to
make the world safe for the peo-
Piles who live upon it and have
made it their-the German peO-
pie themselves included, and
that with US rests the choice to
break through all the hypocra
cies and patent cheats and
masks of brute force. and help
set the world free or else stand
aside and let it be dominated
along the ages through sheer
weight ofarms and the arbitrary
choices of self constituted mas
ters by the nation which can
maintain the biggest armies and
the most irresistible ornaments
of power to which the world has
offered no parallel and in the
face of which political freedom
must wither and perish
Through all sorts Of changes
it peace Talk has come to me
and in all sorts of gulses. but
never with the terms disclosed
which the German government
would be willing to accept"

If President Captain H. H.
Peavey goes away with the national
guard unit of this city, he will pro-
badly lay down the reins as the chief
executive of the club and the secre-
tary will have to take up the work
with new official who succeeds him.
This will not cause SO much of jar
to the machine if the right man is
chosen. Already the secretary feels
that he knows his bushes club
associates well enough to be able and
quite willing to finish the work un-
der any successor to Mr.. Peavey who
might be chosen. Necessarily the
president and secretary have to hold
confidential relations. This work !,
while belonging to the public, has
to be kept from general common
knowledge until things come to a
conclusion for other cities take adj
vantage of information about new
industries etc. and cannot be blamed
for SO doing.

This week marks the close of the
first half of the trial period of the
new movement of the Washburn
Commercial club under the admins
tration of an executive secretary. 1t
has largely been period of getting
acquainted with each other, making
a survey of the field, finding out
what we could and could not do,
what we should and should not at
tempt for Washburn. The concrete
results have not shown themselves
in any huge undertakings or ac-
complishments. We have been able
to get together something neces-
sary to make any such movement a
success.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-06-28

The various interests of Washburn
were never so closely linked as to-
day. No secretary could accomplish
this alone, however capable, SO the
credit belongs largely to the citizens
themselves. Our meetings have
thus far been we'll attended, con-
sidering the size of the membership.
Directors meetings and committee
meetings have been, like club meet
ings, prompt and harmonious. The
secretary could ask for no better
response than the people have given
him, From this time on there will
be more committee meetings OF
Importance and there will, as the
months pass, be more for these COM
mittees to do. This has proceeded
slowing for the best of reasons-one
cannot manufacture work for COM
mittees sit has to grow out of the
whole plan in view, Anyhow, the
policy of the secretary, backed up
by the directors and club, is for con-
sentative work and undertakings.

Foundations have been laid of
permanent character for some de-
velopment that will be of inestimable
value for the future of this city. The
established relations of the business
and professional men with each
other, and the forming of plans be-
tween this city and the Twin Cities,
through the executive secretary, for
making this an important shipping
point, all point the way to the 1918
work which will be crowded with
important happenings. Men must
first learn to act together as unit,
before they can ask for and receive
things for their city. That is fun
damental. This has been one of
the big things accomplished.

"Read Ordinance"

A Committee from the Wo-
mems Council will start on
Friday morning and distribute
to every family and storekeeper
a copy of the city ordinance in
regard TO cleaning of allies and
garbage disposal. In this man.
ner they hope to get the CO.
operation of everybody in the
city to make our city "cleah
town." A garbage man has
been hired by the city to collect
the garbage every week, but he
has not been able to the work,
satisfactorily. because in many
places there are not covered
garbage cans. Many people
think it is not necessary to have
these covered gar bage cans and
use their yards or boxes fol
disposing of the garbage. These
boxes are not sanitary, as every
one knows and are breeders o.
flies and rats. Many of oul
epidemics ip the city can be
traced to this bit of careless
ness. Let every housewife
think twice before throwing
her gar bage in the alley out the
back door. Let everyone exert
every effort to assist the Wo
mems Council in this work.

The lack of any great surplus
copital here for undertaking some of
the absolutely indispensable improve
ments in Washburn, has been a
handicap in one way and the cores
pondence bureau of the secretary
has been operated day after day
toward advertising Washburn abroad
and enlisting the interest of outside
capital. This is necessarily a slow
undertaking, but it is now beginning
to bring results. In the beginning
there had been no organized move
ment, no attemp to carry on an adj
vertising or correspondence propa-
ganda, until January l. We first
had to learn all the facts about the
resources and advantages of Wash
burn, the needs and requirements
and then establish the best plans for
solving the problems.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-06-28

We lay no great claim to large
achievements thus far. If the
second year under an experienced
secretary, whoever he may be, brings
this work to the conclusion of re-
suits that make a big showing, it
will be as good as might be expected.
But we have now perfect machine,
high class organization, an awak-
ened Washburn, unit of everybody
working together, and we have in
the secretary's bureau the machine
with which to work out some of these
many problems. The secretary has
not yet felt ready to undertake
printing of proper advertising ma
terial. This can often be done with
too much haste. We have made up
for the lack of it with some tempo
rary folders, the maps donated by
T. A. Loveland and the writing of
hundreds of personal letters. The
man who comes new to a city and
proceeds to rush into print in an
attempt to describe that city and it's
needs makes fatal mistake.
