THE UNDESIRABLE CITIZEN

when the late Theodore Roose-
welt with his peculiar faculty Of
coming fitting phrases described a
class of men as undesirable citi-
sens" he forced them into public no
tice and made them hunt cover from
public scorn and ridicule.
The kind OF men he described as
undesirable were those who sought
to disregard the laws of the land and
foment trouble. They were unde-
sirable from the point OF view Of
economic peace and prosperity.
This class however does not des-
cribe all OF the undesirable and un-
social citizens who may be found in
almost every community, in fact
they are less to be scorned than
that class OF citizens who ignore the
common rules OF sanitation and en-
danger the lives of their fellow cit
izens by maintaining nuisances in al
leys and vacant lots.
Citizens OF this kind are not confln-
cd TO those who do not know better
There are many who are possessed
of great property who permit such
conditions TO exist through a delib.
crate intent. These men conceive
themselves above the law. whose
power they are ready TO invoke for
offenses against themselves but
which they Ignore when Il suits their
fancy.
This Is an unAmerlcan doctrine
There Is no man in Ontario or any
other town who IN above the law
That Ia the theory on which the city
council IN 10 act In It's justifIable
campaign to clean up the infested
spots within the city limits
The council IS wise In taking this
matter up for consideration now and |
not waiting until warm weather IL
here and flies begin TO breed. II Is
also wise In determining TO enforce
Ah' law w hH' NHig way ~ NHu W Il
enforced; by prosecuting those who
will not comply with It's provisions.
As Councilman Grcig we'll said
"tho city has spent hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars for water and
sewerage systems, ana citizens who
have any respect for themselves and
1haIr paIghhnra huVa eanua.tad NTH
both. II is up TO the city 10 make
those who have no respect for them
selves or their neighbors comply
with tho laws"
We believe that encompasses the
situation. The people OF Ontario
have discussed sanitation. for sever
al years. II has been a process OF
education. Though those who have
urged Il In the past have not secur-
cd the ends aimed at. real progress
has been made. Ontario IN a clean
er city than II used To be. II can
bo cleaner still. and with the united
backing OF the city council we be-
lieye the officers are willing TO en-
force the law, II that be necessary In
extreme cases, one or two prose-
outlons will solve the problem
In the meantime those who know
that they have unsanitary conditions
ON property they own ought for their
own peace OF mind take action be-
fore the city officials are compelled
to do so.
