of employment through disease and
epidemic.
Everywhere there is this demand
for these better living conditions.
People are reaching out for them,
blindly in most cases, because they do
not know just what to do to get
them. They do not realize that they
can produce these conditions for
themselves, if they will only work to-
gether to get them. Any city can be
healthful and beautiful and de-
sirable place to live in, if it's citizens
will pull together to make it so.
There is no need to make a commo-
ton, to tear things to pieces, to set
one portion of the community against
another. What is needed is cooper
alton and unity of effort on the part
of all in the following of some par
ticular and practical plan. Then the
thing is done.
This plan exists. 1t has been
worked with great success for num-
Der of years in many American cities.
1t can be worked this year more sue
cessfully than ever. Every city where
it has been tried is a better. more
healthful and a pleasanter city to live
in because of it.
This plan which literally trans
forms cities is the Cleanup and
Paint-Up campaign which is nation
wide in its scope and which this year
is doing its work in thousands of
cities and towns. 1t cleans the streets,
cleans the alleys, cleans the back
yards and Easements, cuts the weeds
and carts away the cans and refuse
from vacant lots, fills up or drains
stagnant ponds, stops the strewing
around of garbage, clears away the
refuse heaps where the deadly house
fly breeds and the pools where the
malaria mosquito propagates, makes
thrift gardens and flower plots and
window boxes, keeps grass lawns
neat, plants and trims shade trees,
enforces the milk and food laws, and
paints up fences, trellises, garages,
porches and houses. All these things
create more sanitary and healthful
conditions, reduce sickness and loss
of employment, add to the joy of life
because of more beautiful surround
ings, increase the value of property,
reduce fire losses and insurance pre-
miums, create new pride in the city
and new civic spirit which leads to
further civic enterprises, and impart
to both old and young, new interest
and activity in all municipal affairs.
We did wonderful things in the war,
wonderful as a nation and specially
wonderful in the spirit and deeds of
our soldiers. Probably our nation has
now more vigor and initiative and

creative power among its people tha,
ever before. Now let us turn thi,
great force into making living condj.
tons better throughout the nation h,
making life pleasanter and freer from
sickness and sorrow. If we out ina
this effort but half the zeal and DE-.
termination, but half the patriotie
spirit that we devoted to making The
world fit place to live in," we shall
soon have the most beautiful and
healthful cities in the world.
We ought to have them. We have
the money, the intelligence. the love
for good things. All we need is The
cooperative spirit, the ability to work
together democratically and loyauy
for the common good With this
spirit the Cleanup and Paint-Up
Campaign can be made a wonderful
success, the city can be made more
beautiful and prosperous, the amount
of sickness and death rate can be an.
probably reduced and everyone can
be happier in the fuller enjoyment Of
his life and work.

THOUGHTS" of People

Toxic, March 3.-CBy Associated
ess).-The spread of what the
japanese call Dangerous thoughts" In
Japan is apparently giving the gov
eminent anxious moments, as is evil
denced by the tendency to impose a
censorship on affairs involving vio-
lence.
In the House of Peers Baron Wata-
nabe expressed the opinion that the
present condition of popular thought
was largely due to the Increasing diff
Guilty in the matter of living. The
speaker was alludfng to the fact that
Toxic is now the most expensive city
in the world in which to dwell.
Premier Hara said that the problem
of popular thought" was ceaselessly
before the government.
He added: while the Japanese as
a people are steadfast in their adher-
ence to national ideals. there has come
with the broader development of in
ternational intercourse certain faint
of Objectionable foreign thought.
That is one of the main reasons why
the government has adopted its present
stand on the manhood suffrage system.
This stand has brought down on the
government in certain quarters the
charge that it is too conservative. OBJ
jectionable ideas have found their
way into this country through foreign
authors and sometimes in the form of
religion. The government is alive to
the situation and is doing everything
to combat it. Social policies are be-
ing launched. means are being TAX
en- to alleviate the pressure of living
and the authorities are satisfied that
in due time there will be a most pro-
nounced Improvement"
