HE CAN HIRE AND FIRE.

The recent decision of the attorney generals
department that the city manager of Kenosha
has full powers to appoint health officer for
the city is Of interest, not because Kenosha
needs or wants new health officer We are
pretty well hooked up in this office-but be-
cause it establishes right of the city manag-
er toassume the power which the law presents
to give him and which the people expect him
to take and USE
1t mutually suggests the elimination of lot
Of the boards which have had much to do with
activities in the city These boards have car
ried responsibilities and have carried them
well but the people voted to >centralize their
government and put the responsibility on the
shoulders of one man. Naturally this means
that the boards must give place to the central
lied handling of things municipal. Nothing
is to be gained of continuing half of an old sys-
tenn and a little of a new.
It may be that the city manager is just
little hestant to ''shoot traditions" It may be
that some people may think that gradual as
sumption of powers vested in him under the
law is to be preferred but the average man on
the street is going to hold the manager respon-
sible for every expenditure of the city and if
he is to be held responsible he should have some
power to govern these expenditures. His &C
counting with the people must be an account
ing for all and not for just part of the bust
ness of the city and he can not make a fair &C
counting unless his pulse directs all of these
activities.
1t is no reflection upon the members of these
boards to say that the city does not need them
longer. Rather it should be said that under
the law they are no longer part Of the city
government and while the people regard their
work with great deal of gratitude they have
voted for centralized government and they
want that kind. No further time should be
lost in placing all of this responsibility where
it should be.
The city manager has not shown any inten-
ton to jump at conclusions He has been feel
ing his way cautiously with view of having
these changes in the municipal government
come along as the demand for the changes are
shown. His work will be facilitated by some
immediate action by the council to vest in him
self without any string tied to 1.-THE full pow
er whichis properly given to him under the law.

OUR DUTY TO GO.

Kenosha has been invited to send represen-
tatives to the annual convention of the Nation
al Rivers and Harbors Congress, to be held in
Washington in December. Kenosha should be
represented at this convention It should be
represented as a municipality interested in any
big movements which will better transporta-
ton and it's Manufacturers association could
be represented on account of the interest which
this organization has in the shipping industry.
1t may be that there was time when these
conventions were largely gathering Of people
who had front seats at the "pie counter" in
Washington but now the time has come for
this and similar organizations to take vital
part in a great advancement of this particular
section of the country.
This great district wants more lake transport
tation, it wants the opening of deep waterway
from the lakes to the ocean and it is not going
to get it unless the people here show an inter
est in it. The powerful opposition to the devel-
opment of this great aid to transportation in
the middle west is constantly han1mering at
Congress to prevent this great canal being OPP
ened. There must be distinct meeting of
the issue. This big conference in Washington
is one place where cities and states go on record
and Kenosha should not overlook it's opportun-
ity. The city manager of Kenosha should be
there determined to have the attitude of Ke-
nosha and its great interests properly laid be-
fore the men who study these big problems of
lake transportation. It is going to be mans
job to put this big project over and no boys
should be sent to assume the part of this big
unit in the territory to be benefited
A few days off for few of the leading man
ufacturers in Kenosha could be profitably spent
at this convention tt NAV he that wa ean
struggle along right now with the transporta-
ton facilities which we have but just "strug-
Cling along" with no looking toward the future
is not counted on to go far toward the devel-
oping of greater city.

It's only normal three months

The Problem
BY BERTON BRALEY

Gillette and Durham Duplex, Gem,
And Ever-Ready, all are fine;
We slip their need of praise to them,
They work according to design.
They shave the young, they shave the
old,
They NOW thick boards of many
shades;
But heres the thing we would be told,
Where are we gonna put the blades?
Not in the ash-can may they go,
Nor in the garbage, nor the street,
Where motors ramble to and fro.
And people tread with hurryirg
feet;
They will not burn, they won't decay
Until the sun in heaven fades,
And so they pile up, day by day;
Say, where we gonna put the blades7
You cannot keep them safely hid
In any chest, on any shelf,
But what some energetic kid
Will find them there and cut HIM
self.
Dropped in the sea, the surging tide
Bears them where some blithe bath
er wades; =
The world, it's true, is very wide,
But where we gonna put those
blades?
oh, Einstein, use your master-mind,
Call in your scholars and your aids,
And solve this problem of our kind,
Where shall we put our razor
blades?
