WHILE there is no question but

WHILE there is no question but
~ that Kennewick needs a clean
up campaign as any city does af-
ter a winters neglect, neverthe-
less we think we have not been
dirty enough to win one of the
state prizes that are being offered
for the greatest improvements
made in the various communities.
Not that we object at all to the
townspeople trying for the prize,
you understand, nor that we think
that a lot of rake and shovel work
wouldn't be most appropriate. We
hope we don't win the fine silver
trophy cup-but we do hope that
every citizen will take the cam
paign seriously and see to it that
his individual premises are put in
to just as fine shape as it is pos
sible. The farmers have already
started their spring cleanup work
and it seems to US that the farms
look better and better each year.
With the lands all plowed and
made ready for seeding, the trees
beginning to show promise of a
luxurient bloom the farms certain
~ present an attractive appearance
right now. And the city property
could be made just as attractive if
the owners would ever get at it.

Early spring finds most every
lawn trash heap; and every al
ley, too.
Is Kennewick to have a cleanup
campaign this spring? 1t is. Ash
es, dead leaves and grass, bottles,
cans, boards, paper, tree limbs
all the junk of the year has accu-
mulated to ruin the pleasing pros
pect of approaching spring. Man
should initiate nature, and put
things in spick and span order at
this season.
Hundreds of trash heaps, un-
slightly, potential germ-breeders
and dangerous from a fire hazard
standpoint, are to be seen all over
the city. The alleyways in resi-
dence sections are in many cases
nearly blocked with the rubbish OF
months. Uptown, the space behind
many business buildings is Uttered
with broken boxes, accumulated
paper and other waste material.
Kennewick should stage gen.
eral cleanup within the next few
weeks. A dirty city cannot be a

hand on him in the dark" In other
words, he must be a man whose
moral fiber is So strong, so clean,
and so dependable that in every
contact with him you not only feel
safe and secure, but between you
two there is bond of union that
is best expressed by a friend of
ours who says:
"Man worships his mother, loves
wife, adores children and reveres
father; but the quality of feeling
he bears toward the man he trusts
and calls his friend has never been
defined"
Friendship between man and
man? Well, should we be deprived
of it, life would not hold very
much for us-and that is a fact.
And so we say that friendships
are the backbone of business, but
they can only be established and
continued when connected with the
ribs of integrity and square deal
ing.

NHE mild weather which prevail
= ed through the greater part of
the winter, is said to have had a
slowing-up effect on trade. A Sc
we're winter is commonly called a
stimulator of trade. And yet there
seems no reason why such a mild
winter should have any permanent
effect on trade. If people were led
to postpone purchase of winter
clothing because the weather was
milder than usual, they must have
got through the winter with more
money than usual. If so, chances
are about five to one they will soon
be spending that money for some
thing else they want. The spring
season should get the benefit of
the savings of the winter. Most
people spend about so much money
in a year. If things happen that
obviate necessity of spending it
for one thing, it goes for some
thing else.

WE HAVE always believed, more

W or less, in the old political
saying that ITO the Victors belong
the spoils." It must be that way,
of course, in order to provide rec
ompense for the fight is the
prize for winning. So far as we
are concerned the plan in OK. As
nearly as we can find out, the del
egates selected at the republican
county convention, and the alter
mates too, are every one anti
Hartley men. That half of them
were not members of the central
committee, nor were they present
even, at any of the meetings, does
not make much difference, either,
this year. The one interesting fea-
ture of the whole deal will be in
checking up the actions of the
Benton county representatives to
the state convention with the ex-
preston Of the voters next fall.
