An Investiaation of the War

We do not suppose that from any quarter there will come any faultfindng of congress because of it's inquiry into the conduct of the war; provided that 6oes any obstacles into the way of the cessful and uninterrupted' prosecution of it. To frain from investigation would be to that the war department and the administration are perfect Moreover, congress which appropriates money for carrying on the and the people who supply the money and the fathers and mothers who send their sons to the war have right to know how it is being conducted, to know about the camps where their are sent.
 No matter how honest and able may be the agement of the department there bound to be weak spots in the organization that is auired to carry the work of preparation. In the past we have had our "embalmed beef' scandal and our contract frauds. England, France, Germany and Russia have discovered frauds in army supply trans actions. There are weak spots in military or ganization It could not be otherwise. No nation go from absolute peace to tremendous war without finding weak spots
 It is the business of the servant of the people to find those weak places in organizations and to correct them Many stories have been received con- corning the plight of the men in some of the army camps It has been said that many of them are with out blankets that fuel is not plentiful and that coats lacking. It is right that the people should know the facts. The best cure for any weakness of organization for any power incompetency is publicity.

That's the Very Word

We take this occasion to thank "The Man About Town for his cooperation in the campaign against those who leave street car doors open these chilly nights. He uses word for these offenders which were trying to think of but could notebooks. That is exactly what they are, boobs and bookcases We could think of wops and gnks and such milk and-water epithets those but they did seem quite to meet our needs.
 But "boobs' covers the ground By that know that these people who enter and leave and do not close the doors behind them have never been anywhere or anything or ever had any decent home training. We understand a boob to be one who is naturally mentally deficient or one who though perhaps normal, has just emerged from the GSckwoods into civilization.

The Grand Avenue Line

Superintendent Mitchell of the Phoenix Street Railway company lately appeared before city mission with what may be construed to be a plea against the paving Grand avenue. The supern- tendent had previously publicly stated that the event of the paving that street and incidental removal of the supporting earth which, in lieu of ties spikes and fishplates, rails place, Gin dry weather) it would be necessary to abandon the Grand Avenue line. We supposed that statement to be explanation to the people served by that line, of the necessitated of the street railway pany in the the city carried purpose pave that thoroughfare. We could not conceive that the statement directed at the city commission as an argument against the paving of the avenue.
 In his later statement Mir. Mitchell argues also that the line is not paying, has paid and that to enforce it's abandonment the prospect of remuneration is brought nearer. would be act of injustice to the company In other words it is the opinion of Mir. Mitchell that the march of progress should halt until the street railway company catch es up
 We think the city council and later the city commission have been very considerate in their duct toward the street railway since the begin ming of street improvement. They have allowed the company all the time it asked to complete the paving between its tracks and at the sides of them on all the streets where paving has been laid This amable arrangement as to of the streets the narrower where there double tracks left the improvement of doubtful value. Fourth street. for instance might almost well not have been laid with ribbons of pavement not much wider than the adjacent sidewalks.
 But it would be going too far to stop street inn provement entirely account the street railway company which occupies the best streets the city That is asking too much of lenient commission.
 We dO knOv alt district feel about it. we believe they would not be long in choosing between paved thoroughfare and mo street railway" The avenue has generally been in a frightful condition, of the worst ap- breaches to the city, aboundng in bumps chuckholes and dust. If it should be paved we have no doubt there would be readier of transportation for the people along that line than they enjoy

 I see there are a great number of cars being stolen in this state. Do you want to know how to stop it? l will tell you how.
 Pass law making it crime for any one to sell gasoline or cylinder oil to any person who cannot show his state license. If the car is stolen the man cannot show the license agreeing with that number. Therefore, he can not travel very far without gas or oil, and the officers can soon pick him up.
 Pass this law, and you will soon get results.
 Respectfully yours.
