PERMANENT CLEAN UP WORK

The movement for Clean Up Days
Days and Clean Up Weeks has been
a splendid development in Ameri-
can life. Yet its results are limited,
unless someway is found for induc-
ing people to keep cleaned up.
One grand spasm of cleanliness IN
the spring is mighty fine thing as
far as it goes.
But if the town people relapse there
after into their old disorderly ways,
the permanent results are not salts
factory.
OF course householders are sensi-
tive about interference and suggeg-
tons. Yet it might be a good idea
to have neatness committees APP.
pointed in many neighborhoods,
who should gently hint to the peo-
pie who keep their places in bad
order, that they could make them
selves very popular by improving
the looks of their grounds.

THE CHILD'S BIRTHRIGHT

Some conservative people claim
that public Fairgrounds are unnec-
essary, because children can be de.
pended upon TO get all the fun and
play they need If left to themselves.
They fail to realize that as cities
and towns grow children are cut of
from many opportunities for play
that they used 10 haye. They can't
play in the streets, because OF auto
mobiles. They can't play very
much in yards, because they are
usually cut up too much for games
like baseball, and the neighbors
object to noise and trcspassIng.
Children are entitled to have d
certain amount Of frolic. If they
don't get it, they acquire a habit OF
useless idling, and are apt to miss
physical development.
The boy who is ordered to stop
playing ball on some ones land, will
quite likely 90 down town and stand
on the curbstones because there IS
nothing else to do. Opening up
Fairgrounds gives the young people
the thing they normally get under
conditions less artificial than those
Of town lie.

THE SPIRIT OF REVOLT

In these times q great brood OF
novelists, essayists, and poets are
spreading abroad a doctrine of gloom
and pessimism The world is all
wrong, and according to them, the
institutions Of society must be de
stroyed or radically overturned.
They find fault not merely with
our systems of business and govern
ment but with the organization OF
the family, the institution of mar
riage, and the moral law.
There are of course serious defects
in human society. But our pre-.
sent laws and customs have been
built up after 2000 years of develop
ment, and represent the best that
human wisdom has been able to do
up to date. If these systems are at
fault, it is because of faults in hui
man nature.
Ii our existing systems Of govern
ment and Business and family rela-
tons were to be destroyed, the new
arrangements would be far more
faulty than before. They would
reflect the faults of the people that
made then, without getting the
benefit of the human experience
and wisdom on which society's
present laws are made.
An illustration of the way things
work when you destroy old institu-
tons, has been given in Russia. In
that country people were disguised
with the abuses -exIsing under the
ears government, and they thought
they would be better off to wreck
the whole thing and start new,
But with the abuses Of the cars
government, they destroyed great
deal Of useful organization, so that
they are far worse off than they
were before.
Progress is not possible where
people get the idea that they must
destroy all the old customs that
have grown out of human expert
ence. The way for the community
to gain is to preserve carefully what
is good, and to be sure before max
ing changes that the new system is
just as we'll adapted to human
nature as the old one.

making pleasure as they take pea

water pressure was the principal
subject taken up for discussion last
night by the borough council.
John and Henry Terhune object
ed to the poor water pressure which

claimed that on Tuesday morning he
could not get enough water on n

teeth and someone else recalled that
on another morning recently there
was no water. Mr.. Terhune declared
there is some talk of the insurance
companies cancelling policies If h
condition is not soon remedied.
Mayor William H. Sutphin declar-
ed thai the cause for the low pres
sure, is not that the borough hadn't
water but because no night engineer
has been employed at the water
works pumping station to keep the
pumps in operation during the night.
He said that the borough has been
penny wise and pound FOOLISH but
that arrangements have o been
made for a night man at the pump

much better in the future.

A communication was received
from J.. C. Hankinson offering to

per month if improvements were
Installed. Mr.. Hankinson declared
thai he desired to rebuild the prop
erty into a pleasure place. The
clerk was instructed to communi-
cate with Mr.. H~ankinson, informing
him that at the present time
the council is not ready to consider
such an offer.
