HERE, TOO
Speaking of spring cleau-ups the
Dawson Newt ha* this: "Here is a
chance to emulate the energetic and
public spirited people of Red
Wing, Minnesota. Every good
citizen, of course f.-om his sense of
duty and cleanliness, cleans up his own |
place. The bad citizen la forced to do
so by the sanitary authorities. But the
vacant lots of absentee lot owners
are still eye-sores. Now, here la a
proposition: Let every citizen
clean up the vacant lota in his locality,
Irrespective of owershlp, and after he
hat cleaned up aod packed In esses, say
by the 10th of May, he may expect the
city authorities to do their share, and
cart the rubbish away to tht river."
The weather was not just as pleasing
as might have been? nor was it too bad
eithtr? but with this exception, the
day in Whitehorse, Saturday, was
thoroughly enjoyable. Whitehorse
was all that host should be and visitors
came away with the satisfied conscious
ness of having had a real holiday.

After smashiog cars, committing
crimes against society, doing: outrage
that might have caused the sacrifice of
innocent lives, the street car men hove
agreed to the orginal proportion made
before any of these things were placed
to their discredit, and have gone back
to work in Cleveland. What a price
might be justly paid for good leadership.
Mae Woods says she will rot In jail
before confessing to perjury. If lying
in jail will cause Mae to rot she wiU
probably do something in that line
anyhow; so there would be no sense in
confessing.
MEANS LOTS TO >011
Do you come nearer, day by day,
To the port where your dreams all
anchored lie?
Or do you sail further and further away
In an augry tea with a sullen sky?
Do you come nearer the Ought-to-be
In the wagon you hitched to a distant
star?
Or do you drift on hopelessly,
Content to bide with the things that
are?
Aie you a Yes, or a May-be-so?
Are you a Will or a Guese-you'll-b??
A Come-on-lads, or a Let's-not-go?
A Yes-F-will, or an Oh-ril-see?
I', isn't the least concern of mine,
I know that well; but as time endures,
When they thresh the wbaat and store
the wine,
You'll find it's a big concert of yours.
